Preordering books, or buying them on release day, doesn't mean more money for the author. But it sends an important message to people who can make a difference to the author's career. With an eBook and online retailers, preorders can improve the ranking of the book and lead to better visibility on their website. Preorders can impress the publishers and lead to more contracts. In other words, you help the author stay employed. Numbers from preorder and first-week sales count toward rankings for the bestsellers' lists (hey, a girl can dream).
And here's the best part, when you preorder an eBook...it magically pops into your eReader on release day without you having to spend gas & time getting to a store.
So if you're going to buy THE DJINN'S DILEMMA, I'd really appreciate it if you'd buy it between NOW and the first week of November, or on my release day ~Tuesday, Nov. 1
Now available for preorder at retailers like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Harlequin. :)
If you really want to help an author, pre-order his/her books!

I would love to pre-order because I believe in supporting Authors. Unfortunately I do NOT have a Kindle. They are too controlling. I only order from Kobo or Sony and you can't pre-order. But I do buy on release day as long as the publisher hasn't overpriced it like they have been doing since May. I can't pay $8.99 for an ebook when I buy on average 30 books a month. So sadly I have to wait for sales. Hopefully one day Kobo and Sony will wake up :)ReplyDelete
Wow, $8.99 for an ebook is kind of pricey. As a reader, yup that would limit my purchases too. And as a writer, I appreciate that you buy on release day. And fortunately, mine is priced at a reasonable $2.99 :)ReplyDelete

This sweet baby girl was so perfect. Such dainty little features, perfect skin, just a teeny tiny squishy little ball of perfection. Of course we had to throw in a little red, white and blue since the 4th is coming up 🙂

Thanks for your prayers. I have been gimping around on a sore foot for over a week and it was pretty bad the last few days but God is helping and I am noticing some improvement. I am very thankful for that.
Please keep praying for little Kari Noe and her family. They are in desperate need of a miracle and we know our God is able. You can keep up with Kari and the rest of the Noe family Here. God bless,

How many of you hear a success story told by a chipper entrepreneur and think "Sure, I'd be happy too if I had all the success and money you do!" You think they were some miserable person until they finally hit on something that worked. Now, they're all smiles.
But is that really true? Do you really believe that? That may be the reason you're struggling right now.
It's Not Just A Rumor
If you really take a look at the research, you'll see that the most successful people on earth have believed for a long time that they would eventually be successful. It's really just a matter of finding the thing that resonates with them which can benefit the most people and also allows them to make a living. More digging will also show you that people who experience a sudden windfall of money usually end up worse off than they were in less than three years.
So, where are you at on this scale? Do you believe as soon as you get money you'll be happy? Or are you certain you're already successful on some level working towards your ultimate goal? Do you live with passion now or are you saving it for "some day?"
Now is the time, my friend, to unpack your true beliefs about mindset and success to decide whether they are serving you or not. If they're not working for you, it's time to make a conscious effort to change them. That's what this website wants to help you do: figure out what's important to you and believe you can achieve it. I'll give you tools along the way to help you at each turn.
Suggested Resources
I wanted to give you a couple mindset resources that will get you started and that you'll probably re-read many times throughout your life. Look for more of the same in future posts.

Tenant feedback
Chairman of PRIVODNAYA TECHNIKA Industrial Group
Our partnership with Technopolis is an important part of the company's development and optimization
Technopolis Moscow has become an integration hub for our Industrial Group, providing a high level of logistic, service and informational support. We actively use the efficient business tool kit of the site and hold regular events in the Congress center. We are currently planning to further integrate into the business structure of Technopolis, acquire the tenant status and increase our industrial space.
Valeriy Makovetsky
NexTouch Commercial Director
Preferences increased company's economic performance
The preferences we aquired in SEZ Technopolis Moscow dramatically increased our economic performance by allowing us to allocate additional financing into manufacturing and R&D. Moreover, SEZ tenant status improved our company's image in professional circles and granted access to various means of financial and marketing support.
Andrey Anikin
Angstrem-T CEO
International market access
Our decision to join SEZ was brought about by the need to implement scientific projects of great complexity at maximum economic performance. Due to preferences for SEZ tenats we were able to use the surplus funds for our development. Now we are actively joining international markets.
Yuriy Romanets
Tenant status allowed us to broaden the variety of products
SEZ tenant status allowed us to significantly broaden the variety of computing device and information protection systems that we develop and produce by utilizing SEZ infrastructure and surplus funds from tax preferences.
JSC Mapper CEO
Technopolis Moscow is a sensible compromise between building a factory and leasing clean rooms
JSC Mapper produces MEMS-based microelements for microoptics for the Dutch parent company Mapper Lithography. Technopolis Moscow is a perfect choice for localizing a MEMS factory, offering preferable leasing terms, transport accessibility and the convenience of an own customs post.
Oleg Ponfilyonok
Copter Express CEO
We were able to considerably save on the rent compared to our previous office
We were able to get twice as big office space at a cheaper price which allowed us to finally create a DRONE SPACE co-working to develop drones with other teams. What we and our co-working partners have now is 24/7 access to the premises, a huge flying space for the drones both inside and outside, and perfect opportunities for cooperation and education. I would like to pay special tribute to Technopolis PR service that provides us access to all significant technological events in Moscow and allows us to present our new products to the press.

The hit podcast "Serial" made an unannounced return to the airwaves in early December, debuting a second season of thrilling mystery and intrigue. According to the Guardian, the first season of "Serial" was wildly popular, and it was the first podcast to reach 5 million subscribers in the Apple iTunes store.
Not only does "Serial" have an immensely dedicated following, but advertising company McKinney reported that the series was instrumental in getting more people interested in podcasts.
What is "Serial"?
First debuted in October of 2014, "Serial" is the recounting of a real-life tale of love and murder, presented online in a series of weekly podcasts via streaming content or as a downloadable MP3.
Over the course of 12 episodes, investigative journalist and "Serial" narrator Sarah Koenig recounts the tale of Hae Min Lee, a high school senior who disappeared in 1999. A month later, her body was discovered in a Baltimore area park, and her former boyfriend was convicted of the crime. Upon being found guilty, 17-year-old Adnan Syed was sentenced to life in prison.
Koenig was presented a Peabody Award for her coverage of the trial, which not only picked up a dedicated following, but helped to challenge the strength of the case, according to the Peabody Award website.
Over the course of "Serial," Koenig presents thousands of pieces of evidence, including documents and trial testimony, as a way of challenging the validity of the case. The New York Times reported that Koenig's recounting of the trial was so rich that a judge in Baltimore actually re-opened the case.
What the numbers say
The story was so compelling that "Serial" helped to increase the popularity of podcasts overall. McKinney reported that "Serial" turned many folks onto podcasts and also captured the attention of listeners in ways other series have not.
According to McKinney's survey, 23 percent of "Serial" subscribers reported that it was the first podcast they had every listened to, and 90 percent of first-timers said it changed their opinion on podcasts overall. Some 89 percent of first-timers went on to try other podcasts, and as of this summer, 49 percent reported listening to podcasts weekly.
"Serial" subscribers also engaged with the series very passionately. While just 57 percent of respondents in McKinney's survey said they give their full attention to their favorite series, 93 percent of "Serial" listeners reported giving their full attention when listening.
Another 93 percent of "Serial" fans discussed the series with friends and families. Just 44 percent of people subscribing to other podcasts reported talking about the series at length.
Taking paid surveys while listening to your favorite podcast allows you to make money from home online. Opinion Outpost is a good resource for anyone looking to earn some extra cash.
Season 2
The second series focuses on an unrelated story, a young man deployed to a remote base in rural Afghanistan. Under the cover of darkness, Private Bowe Bergdahl slips away from the army outpost, only to regret his decision minutes later. According to the "Serial" website, season 2 is now available online.

Dermal fillers can be used on the face, neck, décolletage or backs of hands to revitalise and refresh the overall appearance of your skin and improve the appearance of lines, acne scars, volume loss and other facial imbalances.
- No of treatmentfrom 1 dependent on results desired
- Pricingfrom £365
- Payment Options0% Finance
- Treatment Timeusually 30 - 45 mins
How do dermal/facial fillers work?
Most modern non-permanent fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally-occurring substance found in the body which helps hydrate and add volume to your skin. When we're born, we have huge stocks of HA in our skin, providing the structure and support to keep young skin plump. However, as we age, the natural replacement of HA is reduced so we don't get the benefits of HA's moisturising and plumping effects. As such, we begin to see wrinkles and loss of volume.
At DestinationSkin, we use temporary Hyaluronic Acid based filler Juvéderm, produced by market leading aesthetic brand, Allergan. By injecting the HA filler below the skin's surface, the treatment helps to replace the loss of volume and provide structure and support to the skin, which in turn lifts and smooths targeted folds and wrinkles.
During treatment, your Medical Injector may massage the area injected to ensure that the filler is distributed smoothly and evenly, in order to give the most natural looking results and restore balance across the face.
Treatment time is usually 30 – 45 mins, but may be up to one hour if topical anaesthetic is applied. This helps to make the treatment more comfortable for you.
Will dermal fillers work on my skin type?
Dermal fillers can be used on all skin types, however our thorough consultation will determine if this treatment is right for you.
What are the benefits of dermal fillers?
If you are looking to address any of the following concerns, then dermal fillers will be the right treatment for you:
- Improve cheek volume.
- Reduce shadowing under the eyes.
- Improve downturned mouth corners.
- Reduce lines around the mouth.
- Improve definition of the lips and increase volume.
- Improve jowls.
- Reduce the appearance of a nasal hump i.e. hook nose.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Usually dermal fillers are most commonly used on the face, for example in the cheeks, lips and chin region. However, they have also been known to be used on the body for specific concerns such as scarring.
What dermal filler results can I expect?
Our clinical team are all experts at achieving gentle, natural looking results, helping you age the way you want to. During the consultation, your practitioner will discuss realistic treatment results with you.
How much do dermal fillers cost?
Injectable treatments are a proven way to reduce signs of ageing or enhance your features, creating natural lasting results. Our team of Medical Injectors are all highly qualified to treat a variety of concerns and use only premium quality, medically approved products.
|Juvéderm Dermal (cheek) Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a way to reverse signs of ageing or enhance your features, creating natural lasting results.
|From £245
Dermal filler results - Lower face - Before & after
Dermal filler results - Eyes - Before & after
How many dermal filler treatments will I need?
At DestinationSkin we only use non-permanent fillers, this is due to the fact the skin is continually changing as we age. Non-permanent fillers are the safest, however results do need to be maintained.
The type of treatments and amount of product will be discussed on an individual basis at your consultation. If multiple treatments are needed, these will be spaced around every 2 – 4 weeks, until you have achieved the desired outcome. Dermal fillers typically last between 9 – 18 months.
Pre-treatment advice for dermal fillers
Please don't drink any alcohol during the 24 hours before your treatment. We also advise that you avoid using aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs a couple of days before your treatment (unless they are taken for a chronic medical condition). Avoiding these medications will reduce your risk of bruising at the point of injection. Ask your medical practitioner if you have any concerns.
Dermal fillers aftercare
You can have Botox® treatment and continue with your day-to-day activities. However, we do advise you avoid wearing make-up, except for mineral make-up, which we can apply in clinic after your treatment.
We also recommend that you do not go to the gym, saunas, steam rooms or swimming on the same day as treatment; you should also avoid touching the injection site.
Q: How do dermal fillers work?
A: Dermal fillers are a clear gel made of Hyaluronic Acid that are injected into various layers of the skin to treat lines and wrinkles. They can also be used more deeply, under the muscles and fat layers to restore volume or enhance features such as the cheeks, chin, lips or nose.
Q: Is the treatment painful, and what will I look like immediately after?
A: Many practitioners no longer use a topical anaesthetic (numbing) gel as the skin physiology can be altered and it may compromise the final result. However, if you are very pain sensitive, or very nervous, your Medical Injector may apply some anaesthetic cream to make the procedure more comfortable.
Q: What will I look like immediately after dermal filler treatment?
A: When the HA gel is injected into the skin to treat lines and wrinkles, the skin may become red and slightly swollen. These effects will usually settle in an hour or so. It is also possible for a bruise to occur, but this will heal in 5-7 days (or sooner if herbal Arnica is used). When the HA gel is injected into the deeper layers, there is usually much less redness and no visible swelling or other side effect seen. Often, a micro cannula (not a sharp needle) is used to inject HA fillers into the deeper layers, and apart from a small entry hole on the skin, no other marks are visible on the face. Your Medical Injector will discuss how they will inject the Dermal Filler, and the likelihood of visible marks on the skin, based on your treatment needs. In most cases, all redness, slight swelling or even mild bruising can be easily covered with makeup.
Q: When will I see the results of dermal filler?
A: The results of your HA Dermal Filler treatment will be visible immediately. Please remember, there may be some mild redness or swelling so that the final, natural result may take a few days or up to a week to see.
Q: How often will I need to repeat the treatment?
A: HA fillers usually last 6-18 months depending on the type of filler, the amount injected and the area treated. There are other factors such as your age, skin type, rate of ageing and facial anatomy profile that will also determine your specific treatment plan, and how often you will need to repeat your treatment. Your Medical Injector will discuss this with you at the time of consultation.
Q: How will I know if the side effects are normal, or something serious has happened?
A: After your treatment, the common effects are mild redness, slight swelling and possible bruising. The treatment area may feel tender to touch and all of these effects are normal, will subside in a few days, but may last up to a week. Each day everything should improve slightly and the area should look more normal and feel better.
It is very uncommon to have any serious side effects, however if you do experience any of the following, please call the clinic immediately, or if after hours, seek help from a GP or A&E:
- swelling that is getting worse as time passes
- increase in pain and getting more severe with time
- skin feeling hot, redness increasing and becoming worse in time
- skin near the treatment area or along the side of the nose looking pale/white or greyish in colour on the day or day after the treatment, and pain increasing in this area
- generally feeling unwell in the days following your treatment
Q: What if I don't like the results or it looks too unnatural?
A: Our Medical Injectors are experienced with all aspects of HA Dermal Fillers and the type of results that can be achieved. Dermal filler treatment is not 'one size fits all', and the injector will discuss the best 'look' for you in your bespoke, detailed consultation. We can assure you that your treatment will be delivered safely, and in accordance with your wishes based on a thorough consultation. Dermal Fillers are a popular treatment because most people are really happy with the results. Your Medical Injector will endeavour to completely understand your expectations, however we cannot guarantee how much you will love the result!
Q: Is it safe to have any treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
A: We do not recommend that you have any injectable treatments if you suspect or can confirm that you are pregnant. We also recommend that you have completely finished breast feeding before returning for your aesthetic treatments.
Q: What can I do to ensure I get the best results from my injectable treatments?
A: Here are a few tips to optimise the outcome of your treatment:
- Avoid having any alcohol the day before your treatment. This will help to minimise the chance of bruising.
- In the week before your treatment, try to avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen or any other type of anti-inflammatory medication as this will also increase your risk of a bruise occurring.
- For Dermal Fillers – please do not plan to have any other skin treatments (peels, facials, microdermabrasion, micro needling) for 1 week prior and 2 weeks after your dermal filler treatment.
- If you have been unwell with a cold virus, cold sore (herpes) or any other skin rash or condition, please phone the clinic to check if you should still attend your appointment. Your general medical health is important, and we are happy to reschedule your aesthetic treatment if necessary.
- After your treatment, please closely follow the aftercare advice given to you by your Medical Injector, and please do not apply anything else to the treatment area, unless previously discussed.

We join the "Beg, Borrow, and Bastard Tour" on its seventh day out from the start in Escanaba, Michigan.........
We awoke the next morning chilly and refreshed. Much discussion was had just before going to sleep the night before and now again in the morning about just how we were going to get to Canada from here and still get home in time for work on Monday morning. Various theories were put forth, but the two main thoughts were (A) we weren't going to make it, so let's just see where we end up, and (B) we were going as far as we could today, which would leave a short jaunt into Sault Ste. Marie where we would have Steve's girlfriend pick us up. I wasn't quite sure just what would happen, but "B" sounded feasible, and I had never been to Canada, so I was game for it. Steve was of the mind that we should just throttle back and cruise to wherever that day, and then have his gal pick us up in the morning. In the end, Troy's will would carry the day, as far as the decision on what to do for our ride.
Well, that meant one thing: Go like the wind with minimal stops. So the morning out of Escanaba was all a hurry, going out to hook up with a big four lane highway heading northwards around an inlet on the north shore. Then it was straight east for a piece. The weather was sunny, with a bit of a head wind and hurrying cumulus clouds overhead. The terrain became that of rolling hills with long, gradual approaches and long gradual descents. Coming out of town, I found myself chasing down Troy in second wheel with Steve lagging behind.
We had to regroup at the turn off onto the big highway. It was a great road in that the shoulder was about another lane wide. We could all ride abreast of each other and still not come close to being in traffic. Steve got caught up with us and with some encouragement from Troy, we all got going again. The mood was jovial now, even though it was pressing on us to get going. On each gradual climb, I found myself sticking to Troy's rear wheel and Steve would fall behind. Strange.....Steve was riding like I had been! Troy congratulated me on my riding and went drifting back to pull Steve back on. I just kept up the pace until finally Troy would get Steve drafted back on to our wheels.
This lasted until we got back in contact with the lake again just past the turn off to Isabella, which Troy reminded us was the name of a Hendrix tune. Hmm........okay! At any rate, we had to stop for a bit. It was around this point in the day that we all took note of how every R.V. had bicycles haphazardly attached to them. It was as if they were using Velcro to just slap the bicycles on the vehicle any which way they could. After a while Troy was getting anxious about the stop, so we took off again. Troy was also losing his patience with Steve's seemingly lackadaisical riding. Troy was pushing the pace as hard as he could, trying to make as many miles as we could get to reach the goal. We didn't get a whole lot further up the road before Steve mutinied. He had been pushed too far, too hard, and announced he was stopping to rest, whether we did or not, at the turnoff into a little resort we were approaching.
Steve pedalled up ahead with a burst of speed, launched his Schwinn into a ghost ride that took it into a grassy lawn, and belly flopped himself into the grass. Troy was dumbfounded. Wrought with anger and amazement at Steve's sudden rebellion, he just sat there on his bike with his mouth hanging open looking at me. I could only shrug my shoulders for the time being and wondered what would become of our plans to reach Canada now.
Well, Troy went into diplomatic mode. It was a prudent thing to do, seeing as how he needed to get Steve back on the bike to have a shot at making the goal he had set for us. With some agreement that we would throttle back the pace, Steve got back onto his bike and we rolled back onto the highway. It was a tense situation, and reminded me of Steven's Point, only without all the alchohol.
We turned slghtly northward now and the clouds were gathering in a hurry as we went. Troy looked up with dismay and cursed. Rain! It started out cold and wind driven, which caught us off guard, as we had enjoyed pleasant sunshine up to that point. Now we were rounding a corner on the outskirts of Manistique. Troy convinced us to keep on it till we got into town and then we could stop to find some shelter.
We got to a Hardees and pulled in. We were wet, and none of us were too keen on pushing hard in a cold, driving rain. It looked like it might only be a quick shower though, so hope was yet held out that we might get back on the road quickly, but precious time was slipping away!

What a difference it makes when you choose to learn a subject, rather than being forced to. Even when it is not your choice, take a positive attitude toward learning as much as you can. You never know if a subject will be useful in your future. The thinking you do is always useful, because it sharpens your mind. When you keep an open mind, you may discover you enjoy a class more than you had expected. On the other hand, what do you think will happen if you start out expecting not to like something?
Growing up, I always enjoyed reading a book when I was just doing it for me. Perhaps this was because I chose the book and the pace to read it at and there was no report to make or marks given. Do it for yourself and not for marks and you will be fully engaged. You will not worry about making mistakes, so you give yourself a chance to learn from them.
Last night I did a puzzle with my four-year-old daughter. I was impressed with how long she was willing to work at solving it and how she kept making attempts when she tried a piece that didn't fit. Maybe this is because she chose to do the puzzle and to her it was a game. To her, she was just playing, when really, she was problem-solving.
Research has shown that when children are given a task, they work much longer at it and use more creativity when there are no rewards. When a reward is involved, they do the minimum, just enough to get the reward, since they are not doing it for themselves. Perhaps when a reward, or marks, are given, we are suggesting the task itself is not fun, but rather just something to get through. So, marks hold students accountable for getting things done, but not to the best of their abilities.
Learning math is just like solving a bunch of puzzles. Thinking of it that way and doing it for fun, rather than results, could make a huge difference for you. Focus always on improving, so that you pick yourself up when you fall. Keep making attempts and never worry for a second about results. Always strive to really understand, rather than just memorize facts, which you quickly forget. Effort, based on really caring about your own learning will always lead to your best possible results. Remember that you control your effort to think and to take action, but not your results.
Have you had experiences where you have learned just for fun? What difference did this make to your enjoyment, and the quality of your learning? How will you still give your best effort when marks are involved? Thanks for reading!

Yesterday I was in the mood for art, and stumbled across the "Echoes in the Garden" installation in the Destination Guide. The installation was created by Rose Borchovski, and it's full of poetry and surrealist imagery. I could not understand the explanatory text from the Destination Guide (it reads, "'Echoes in the Garden,' is an interactive installation by Rose Borchovski on the 'Susa Bubble' story"), so I did a quick google of the lyrics floating around the installation.
The installation seems to be based around these introspective lyrics by Susanne Sundfør from her song The Brothel (listen here):
There are echoes in the garden, is anybody listening?
There are echoes lost in the garden, is anybody listening?
They whisper:
The ones who are only living are the ones who are only dying.
I found the whole installation thought-provoking, but I might return and walk through it while playing the song. I was there with a very posh-looking furry who hung out wordlessly and thoughtfully a few steps above me, staring off into space. I always wonder what people are doing while they let themselves idle in an art exhibit. Perhaps the player is off at the restroom, or heating up microwave ramen? Maybe distracted by TV? I'm always deeply curious.

January 19
Today we got up packed up then hit the road. We had to drive through pooring rain and wind that actually shook the van ! When we got to the yurt we made a dash for it. The wind was howling and the rain drummed against the side of the yurt. We made ravioli for dinner. Then we played cribbage and Charlie won. After cribbage we had hot cocoa with marshmallows and listened to a audio book. Then we went to bed. P.s. Inside the yurt their was a bunk bed and a couch that turned into a bed. I took the top of the bunk bed, my parents took the bottom Charlie took the couch. It also has a table and two chairs and a heater Witch was really nice.

finally finished the animation project, and managed to get it online in rather good quality, AND i put subtitles so people can understand whats going on … or at least get some idea… it doesn't make a great deal of sense anyway, as its completely based on the imaginations of my kids.
But without further ado, here's a link to the video on myspace (on there the subtitles are partly obscured by the myspace logo):

Chelsea Sexton Slams Bias On Both Sides Over Electric-Car Range
Chelsea Sexton Slams Bias On Both Sides Over Electric-Car Range: "Electric cars are mostly urban cars. But I'll be blunt: trying to convincingly prove (or disprove) the viability of a pure electric vehicle by driving it cross country is about as logical as proving the viability of a microwave oven by using it to cook your Thanksgiving turkey. You can force it, but it ain't gonna be pretty--and it proves nothing about the everyday experience of using the technology. "

When Mark Zuckerberg planned his Facebook 'Ask Me Anything' session, he probably wasn't expecting to be put on the spot by the world's most famous physicist and the 'Terminator'.
Zuckerberg, in a Facebook post, said he will take questions from people for an hour to understand what the "community is thinking about." The question and answer session was in AMA format on Zuckerberg's timeline.
Within minutes of the session, Stephen Hawking and Arnold Schwarzenegger popped in with questions of their own.
Hawking, noting his own interest in a unified theory of gravity, asked, "Which of the big questions in science would you like to know the answer to and why?"
The CEO called it a 'good question' and said he is "most interested in questions about people."
"I'm most interested in questions about people. What will enable us to live forever? How do we cure all diseases? How does the brain work? How does learning work and how we can empower humans to learn a million times more? I'm also curious about whether there is a fundamental mathematical law underlying human social relationships that governs the balance of who and what we all care about. I bet there is," he said.
Next it was 'Terminator' Arnold Schwarzenegger's turn. Schwarzenegger was interested to know about Zuckerberg's workout regime.
Schwarzenegger asked, "Mark, I always tell people that nobody is too busy to exercise, especially if Popes and Presidents find time. You've got to be one of the busiest guys on the planet, and younger generations can probably relate to you more than they can the Pope - so tell me how you find time to train and what is your regimen like?
Zuckerberg said he works out at least three times a week.
There were some other questions for the Facebook boss too.
Why did he invent 'poking'?
Why should we use 'real names' on Facebook?
Zuckerberg also has the most amazing response to a user who asked him how he'd react if he woke up next morning "and there is no Facebook?"
"I'd build it," the Facebook CEO told Aakash Chaudhary.
You can read all the answers to the AMA here.
Here are a few highlights from Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Q&A:
Next for Facebook: Telepathy
Zuckerberg believes that one day we'll be able to directly share emotions, thoughts, and sensory feedback with each other, just as we currently share text, photos, and videos through social networks. "You'll be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too," he said in one of the comments.
Why did he choose to set his salary at $1?
To this question, Zuckerberg said, "I've made enough money. At this point, I'm just focused on making sure I do the most possible good with what I have. The main way I can help is through Facebook -- giving people the power to share and connecting the world. I'm also focusing on my education and health philanthropy work outside of Facebook as well. Too many people die unnecessarily and don't get the opportunities they deserve. There are lots of things in the world that need to get fixed and I'm just lucky to have the chance to work on fixing some of them."
What's happiness for the Facebook CEO?
"Happiness is doing something meaningful that helps people and that I believe in with people I love. I think lots of people confuse happiness with fun. I don't believe it is possible to have fun every day. But I do believe it is possible to do something meaningful that helps people people every day. As I've grown up, I've gained more appreciation for my close relationships -- my wife, my partners at work, my close friends. Nobody builds something by themselves. Long term relationships are very important," Zuckerberg said in his response.

What exactly are advertorials?
There are generally two types of content that people can publish on the web – editorial and advertorials. As you may already know, editorials refer to the "core" of whatever it is that you are writing about. If you run a blog then these are the subjects that you write about and are of great interest to you. So what about advertorial content?
Well as explained by Matt Cutts in the Google webmaster video above, advertorial content or native advertising isn't really that much different from editorial content except for one thing and that is the fact that these are paid publications. This simply means that money changed hands or somebody was commissioned to publish a particular content as opposed to having it written simply because it was a subject that the publisher was interested in.
So what is the big deal about advertorials and how is it in any way significant to SEO or search engine optimisation?
Let's say you were looking for a good review about a particular pest control service provider and you've found a certain content that seems to provide the information you need in great detail. How would you feel about that certain content if you found out that it was actually paid content as opposed to having it written by somebody who was genuinely interested in publishing that particular review? It is this "feeling" which revolves around the widespread use of advertorials that Google wishes to address by implementing proper guidelines for advertorial content.
Simply put, advertorials are a form of paid advertising similar to paid links and as such these types of content shouldn't pull page rank. Google states that all paid content must provide clear and concise disclosure. Failure to do so would mean removal and inclusion of that content from indexing process as well as other possible penalties that can adversely affect SEO.
Now it is worth noting though that Google has not released any details on how it actually intends to go about distinguishing paid advertising content from editorial ones which perhaps explains the frustration a lot of people have regarding this policy judging by the vast majority of comments on Youtube.
So what are your own thoughts about advertorials?Tags: Advertorials, Google, paid advertising, Search engine optimisation, SEO

Jo Mitchinson
I've had a reasonably long-term relationship with feminism, but lately, things have been on the rocks, and I've had to ask myself; should I break this off?
I discovered feminism a few years ago, through my PhD study. Before this, I'd been pro gender equality in a vague way, but considered that feminism was quite 'man-hating' and political. It wasn't something I identified with at all, probably because I knew little about it.
My PhD was looking at sex work, so inevitably I had to research a lot of feminist thought. It really disturbed me, and I resisted strongly. I hated the idea that there was so much wrong with the world, and I hadn't noticed, or worse, that I'd been duped into not noticing. But then I started to think- I'd always been shy, socially awkward, and struggled with confrontation, because that was my personality. Right? Not because I'm a woman and I've been taught to be passive and demure- right? Hmmm. Suddenly I wasn't sure anymore. Everything I thought was just 'me', could potentially be stuff I'd picked up culturally because I'm female. This was quite a revelation, and it flicked the switch in my mind. The Feminist Awakening, they call it, and I was definitely awake.
I became a firmly Left-identifying feminist, and all was peachy-keen. Or was it?
The feminist world can be far from warm and friendly. That ain't always no sisterhood out there. Sure, there are wonderful groups which support each other, but I quickly learned that just because two people identify as feminist, doesn't mean they agree on anything beyond the idea that women don't have equality. What is worse, the level of acrimony and lack of constructive communication between disparate feminist ideologies is startling. It's a jungle out there. Due to my stance on burlesque and sex work, I found myself accused of promoting rape culture and sexism, of being misinformed and unaware; I was patronised and insulted and sniped at, all by women who were supposed to be fighting for the same thing I was. I would see the beginnings of important conversations, derailed as different feminists couldn't agree on the goals or on the means to reach the goals. None of us could agree on what feminism was, how we should do it, and what we wanted the end-game to look like, especially when it came to sex work and sexuality.
This shouldn't've been a shock, really. There are millions of women, millions of experiences, hundreds of cultures, thousands of feminists. How could one 'feminism' possibly fit all of those lives? What did bother me, though, was the way people were fighting so much over the how and what, that they weren't actively progressing as much as they could. Why couldn't we put aside our difference and find a compromise, a way forward? I'm sure there are feminist groups doing just that, but sadly so far that hasn't been my experience.
Enter the anti-feminists and the Men's Rights Activists. They love this division. They love to watch feminism eat itself, as they put it, and they ridicule us for being ineffectual. As a free speech advocate, I felt obliged to listen more to what the feminist-haters were saying. Again, the level of pure vitriol they had was both astonishing and depressing. According to these people, feminism was (in no particular order):
- based on false assumptions and inaccurate data
- biased against men
- man -hating
- seeking supremacy over men
- damaging to men
- selfish and navel-gazing
- focused on trivialities while ignoring big issues
- championed by fat, ugly, angry women
- worse than cancer
Crikey! These people were working really hard to discredit feminism, and they were getting a lot of attention. Were they all just terrible misogynists, ardent back-lashers? Or was there some truth to what they were saying?
The answer is-yes, there is truth to it.
Some feminists do hate men, or at least, they appear to do so, to some men. Some feminists do want a revolution, and this would involve a reshuffle of power. Some feminism is very derogatory to men and also to women who don't follow the *correct* ideology. Yes, there are different ways of interpreting data, such as regarding rape or the wage gap, and these things are still up for critical analysis. Yes, one could argue that feminists should be fighting against forced marriage or the massacre of Yazidi women, rather than campaigning against Page 3 Centrefolds or shouting about what some scientist has on his shirt. We know that these important fights are happening, but in poplar media, what people see is the (arguably) less weighty work.
I wasn't happy about admitting it, but these perspectives are valid, or at least are worthy of discussion. At the very least, I could see where the misconceptions come from. Some of what these folk are saying, is a more intense version of what I've thought about some feminism. I looked critically at my Lefty feminist viewpoint and while I didn't totally agree with the anti-feminists, I have to admit, I found my perspective a little one-sided. I hadn't factored in this whole other school of thought, because it was mainly Right-wing and I'd never really encountered this way of thinking before. So now what? Would I have to break up with feminism?
The answer is no. Never. I would fight in the street for equality, I'd die for it. I will always be a feminist because to be otherwise, means I don't believe women are equal to men. But I can never let myself stop being critical. I must never block out viewpoints just because they seem abhorrent to me. And I must never dismiss a person, just because I don't like what they have to say. I'll never break up with feminism, but I'll also never consider it to be so weak that it can't withstand an intellectual onslaught from direct opponents.
Feminism needs to grow, to change. to listen, to have uncomfortable dialogues, if for no other reason than it is wise to know your enemy and keep yourself primed. And the enemy is out there, coming for us everyday, in powerful ways. If feminism doesn't rise to meet this threat, and instead turns its back with its fingers in its ears, then I worry what will happen.
So feminism, I'll never leave you, but a successful relationship requires people to move with the times. Let's just try and remember what we are actually fighting for, and make sure we do it together.

Before you attempt to quit smoking, it is very important that you prepare for quitting.
Just thinking about quitting may make you anxious and stressed. However, your chances of quitting for good are much better if you prepare for quitting.
For example, reading about and understanding the Impacts of Smoking and the Benefits of Quitting Smoking can sure help motivate you to quit. In addition, it is also very useful to be aware of why quitting is so difficult.
Before you attempt to quit smoking, you need to decide for yourself that you really want to quit and that you are going to give it your best shot. Promise yourself that you'll do it, and go through with it, and give it your best shot, even though you may not always be 100% committed to quitting or always feel good about quitting.
When you quit smoking, it is perfectly natural to have mixed feelings about quitting. There will be many times, especially early on, where you don't feel like quitting. However, do your best to persevere and do not let these feelings sway you from your goal. In order to succeed in your attempt to stop smoking, you will need to be strong and determined.
In addition, understanding why and when you smoke are all important in the process of successfully quitting smoking.
The following activities will help you identify your triggers for smoking and also start you on the process of quitting:
Keep a Cravings / Smoking Diary
Identifying Your Triggers
S.T.A.R.T. to Quit
Each of these activities are covered in the linked pages.
Please Note:
Most people who attempt to quit, go back to smoking within three months. So, the first three months after you quit will be the most difficult. You may be tempted to have "one last cigarette" when you are stressed or feeling down, but yielding to such a temptation is a sure-fire way to start smoking again.

A new issue of the Ipswich Town fanzine Turnstile Blues was published on 1st February, prior to the home match against Bolton. It will be on sale again today outside the King Power stadium before the match against Leicester City.
The theme for the fourth issue of Turnstile Blues is co-operation and community: values which have always been closely associated with the club and its supporters. The fanzine focuses on the importance of co-operation and community in building a successful club, both on and off the pitch.
The previous three issues of Turnstile Blues have sold very quickly amongst Town supporters, both at games and online, and have drawn praise from supporters, the local media and ex-Town players alike.
In the new issue, Susan Gardiner, author of the highly successful Ipswich Town – A History which was published last year by Amberley Press, writes a moving and insightful appreciation of Dale Roberts and his importance to the club's success under his close friend George Burley.
Grant Bage puts forward a lively and humorous argument about why football – despite its essentially competitive nature – is a co-operative enterprise at heart, and Emma Corlett, this issue's editor, reflects on Town's role in the local community.
There's also an enlightening contribution from Hull City fan Mark Gretton, a leading figure in the No To Hull Tigers campaign, as well as the usual satire and silliness.
Turnstile Blues is priced £1.
For those who can't make it to the game, the fanzine will also be available to buy via download or mail order from www.turnstile-blues.co.uk, soon afterwards.

"A&E" refers to Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin, authors of So Much More. I chose the abbreviation to save space and time.
Since we might as well start this post with a bit of comic relief, this video reflects my general feelings about conspiracy theories. (Apologies for a swear or two and for "retarded.")
Aside from the point mentioned in the video – that most conspiracy theories are too vast to be pulled off in the real world – they have some other characteristic weak spots that tend to render them unlikely or just downright impossible. Two that come immediately to mind are 1) that conspiracy theories often rely solely on secret conferences, conversations, etc. that the conspiracy theorist cannot confirm actually happened and did not personally witness; and 2) that most conspiracy theories are extremely selective in the information they present, and ignore other information that disproves the theory. I'll (mostly) be dealing with #2 today, because the view of history that A&E present in Chapter 6 of So Much More has all the hallmarks of this problem, and then some. Continue reading

Lessons From Japan campaign will culminate on Hiroshima Day, the 6th August 2011 with a seminar at IMA Bhawan (9-1pm) which will bring together country's noted experts on nuclear-radiation health hazards, clean energy and nuclear disarmament.
Shri Sudeep Ghosh, Principal Sherwood Inter College was also present.
This campaign is organized under the aegis of Asha Parivar, National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM), Citizens for Healthy Lucknow (CHL) initiative, and supported by Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), Indian Medical Association (IMA Lucknow), Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP), Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD), and Jahangirabad Media Institute (JMI).
"Recent nuclear emergency in Japan leaves no doubt that this world needs to renounce nuclear power for military and civil/ energy purposes, as soon as possible, to put an end to any further catastrophe in the name of 'energy', 'security' or 'technology'. Nuclear power is clearly the most dangerous options for civil or military use. Countries that have been using nuclear power such as Germany and Japan have resolved to abandon nuclear energy by 2022. Germany converted its semi-finished nuclear energy plant into an amusement park! India needs to vote for clean energy" said Shobha Shukla.
Students of Sherwood Inter College are making poster exhibits to display on HIROSHIMA DAY, 6th August at IMA Bhawan (9-1 pm). All are invited.

#Apple's wise maps decision
A year ago Apple was taking a lot of criticism for its decision to kick Google Maps of the iOS platform. I in a post titled "Apple's mapocalypse" took a different view - for competitive reasons Apple had to develop its own mapping and location services. It now seems that Apple (and I) were right; the Guardian in an article titled "Apple maps: how Google lost when everyone thought it had won" shows that a year on Google has lost tens of millions of Google Map users to Apple in the US alone.

Last night was my first experience with Austin night life. I went with Whitney, her boyfriend, and Rachel. And in regards to being out on the town… Dallas < Austin. I had a wonderful time, and saw lots of my old highschool friends who had recently relocated to Austin as well. And the engineer had to study, so he came to pick me up later that night. He's so sweet to me. We're taking a hunting class all tonight and tomorrow so we can learn how to murder animals. Oh, life is fun.
started my day with this. favorite song ever.

Every organization has a set of principles that dictate daily operations, which give rise to the adoption of a particular culture by specific companies. However, the advent of new trends from time to time is bringing evolution in corporate culture, and companies need to respond accordingly to this requirement.
The reason this is so important is that corporate culture can either enhance or derail the operations of a firm, as a result of the contribution of each employee. Here are details on drivers of corporate culture and how their contribution evolves the workplace.
How Administration and Management Can Affect Corporate Culture
The role of executives in most organizations is to set the standards by which enterprises operate, as well as establish practical ways of effective management. Additionally, the administration in every firm has a responsibility to set up a payment structure as part of their contribution towards building a corporate culture.
However, it is necessary for management to appreciate the fact that adopting a directional system will result in unhealthy corporate culture and high employee turnover. Therefore, involving staff in the decision-making process will build a strong culture in every entity because achieving success in creating an ideal corporate culture depends on working with loyal employees.
As a result, management will achieve the objectives of the enterprise as a whole and increase the rate of retention of employees.
Employees' Contributions to Corporate Culture
All employees have specific duties to attend to depending on their job description, and in the same way, each of them has a role to play in the establishment of the corporate culture in which they work. As such, employees act as drivers of organizational culture in various ways, some of which involve quiet roles and small gestures as well.
In that case, staff can contribute to the corporate culture of a company in diverse ways, including discussions amongst co-workers relating to personal details, the way a secretary makes coffee, or an intern that shares homemade pastries every week.
The bottom line is that corporate culture is nonexistent without the contributions of all because every individual in every organization participates in its establishment, in one way or another. If you need more information on the drivers of corporate culture, contact us today!

I was actually typing up a different blog post when I realized that this weekend marks our three-month anniversary in Oslo. So while I do look forward to posting about some toddler-friendly day trips from Prague soon, I thought now would be a good time to share some of my thoughts on Norway three months in.
1. They are obsessed with summer. I suppose that this shouldn't come as a surprise given that it is cold 8+ months out of the year and Oslo can get real snow as late as May, but the Norwegians have a unique affinity for summer. "Summer food" ("sommermat") made sense to me since there is more variety and better flavors during this time of year than any other. But "summer coffee"? Yup. And we aren't just talking about iced coffee. There are actually special coffee blends for summer. I suspect they are lighter and fruitier to go along with the season, but Having never actually tried it, I'm not sure. But all of June I laughed as I walked past Kaffebrenneriet each day and saw its sandwich board announcing sommerkaffe's arrival.
2. It's not that expensive. Just kidding. It is expensive. But if you go in, like I did, thinking that everything will cost at least 150% of what it would back home, you will be pleasantly surprised when the average price increase is only about 20%. As long as you stay away from the dry cleaner, the prices probably won't make you faint. (My #1 piece of advice for anyone considering moving to Norway: Don't bring anything that is dry clean only with you. You'll save a lot of money if you just buy new clothes.)
3. They aren't that environmentally conscious. I'm sure some people will disagree with me and I will admit that there is evidence to support both sides of this issue, but I have to include it since it was the thing that surprised me the most when we first moved here. You see, on our taxi ride from the airport I kept thinking about how much Oslo reminded me of Seattle. Specifically, it is extremely green and I knew that people here love outdoor activities. So I assumed that that meant that it would be easy to find eco-friendly diapers, cleaning supplies, and dry cleaner. Yeah, not so much. Apparently people think that since waste is incinerated here chemicals in diapers don't matter (can someone please explain this logic to me???), you can find some green cleaning products but don't expect to make your own because baking soda is one of those things that is much more than 20% more expensive here than in the U.S., and forget a nontoxic dry cleaner. As the woman at the health food store said when I asked her where I could find the latter, "Norway is pretty behind the times when it comes to stuff like that."

Vintage King Winners Tour The House of Rock
Vintage King lucky winners pictured at The House of Rock are (seated) Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Jack Joseph Puig and (standing L-R) Nick Blomberg, Switzerland; Chad Wilson, CA; Davide Fant, Italy; Kyle McAnlay, CA, and Rick Juarez, Ohio. Photo by David Goggin.
Vintage King Audio teamed up with Pensado's Place to give 5 lucky winners for a banquet and grand tour of the new $3.5 million House of Rock home studio designed in collaboration with multi-Grammy winning producer/mixer Jack Joseph Puig and top industry partners, including Vintage King, Solid State Logic, Blue Microphones, Audio Perception, JSX Audio and other high-end audio partners. The studio occupies the top floor of a $22 million Santa Monica estate, created by House of Rock, a Los Angeles-based entertainment company.
Jack Joseph Puig spent the afternoon in the lavish studio environment with the winners, talking about recording techniques and answering questions. "Your job is to create an environment where the artist can fly," he advised.
"This is a spectacular, one-of-a-kind recording studio -- the amenities and equipment of a world-class commercial facility beautifully integrated into an extraordinary residence making it one of the finest personal recording spaces ever created," commented Tom Menrath, Vintage King's Head of Strategic Development.
The studio itself is perched in what was once the home's top floor, providing a picturesque view of the classic Riviera Country Club golf course. Artists, producers and engineers record at the "Duality Pro-Station" winged and automated console, the first of it's kind from Solid State Logic.
Vintage King was involved early in the studio's overall design phases and helped plan an impressive mix of modern and classic gear for the space. Using custom-built studio furniture by Sound Construction, VK filled the racks with an enviable selection of outboard gear, including vintage UREI 1176, Teletronix LA-2A and DBX 160s as well as boutique units from Purple Audio, Retro Instruments, Eventide, and Millenia Media.
Vintage King also composed a sixty-module overhead rack of in-demand 500 Series modules from Little Labs, Grace Design, Chandler Limited, Tonelux, A-Designs, Inward Connections, Burl, and many others. To ready the studio for modern production, VK added a 48x48 Pro Tools | HDX2 system by Avid and put together a world-class monitoring system, including the debut of Barefoot Sound's new flagship 4-way speaker system, the MiniMain12.
The contest winners had lunch and a private tour of The House of Rock from Grammy Award-winning music engineer and producer Jack Joseph Puig (U2, The Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Fergie, No Doubt, and others). Attendees experienced this unique studio through the designer's eyes, as Puig explored the recording studio utopia.
Winners were announced Live on the "Pensado's Place" show on Wednesday November 28th at
