Supplement Your IFISA Returns With 'Refer & Earn'
16th August 2018
As an existing investor in Crowd2Fund, you may already be benefiting from an average APR of close to 10%*, and familiar with our dynamic crowdfunding platform.
What you may not know is that we have a bonus scheme in place to reward our existing investors for their continued support in Crowd2Fund, and this comes in the shape of Refer & Earn. This allows you to get 2% cashback into your Wallet on investments made 12 months after someone you refer joins the platform. This can boost your IFISA and investment returns even further, having the potential to generate thousands of pounds in extra cash. So far, investors have earned tens of thousands of pounds by referring their network.
How Do I Refer?
We present to you the five easy steps that get potentially net you a few extra thousand pounds:
- Log in to your Crowd2Fund account and click on 'Portfolio'
- If you have an active investment, follow the instructions on the "Refer & Earn"
- Share the unique link and code generated amongst people that you think would suit the platform
- Ask them to use your unique code when they sign up so we know who to give cash to
- We credit your Wallet after 12 months
Why Refer Friends to the Platform?
It's a no-brainer: you get extra returns on your investments for very little effort. Existing investors to receive the 2% cashback offer from up to five referrals. If these five referrals utilise their full IFISA allowance (currently £20,000 per annum) this will result in £2,000 extra cash for the original referrer. To maximise returns even further, investors may choose to deploy these funds into debt campaigns on the platform through live opportunities or on The Exchange.
Boost Your Social Capital Through Your Influence
We all like to think of ourselves as ahead of the curve and to be acknowledged as an early adopter or trendsetter. This has become even more heightened in the age of social media, where it is possible to reach and influence hundreds or even thousands of peers with the click of a button.
While debt crowdfunding is a fast-growing asset class, with volumes increasing by 36% to reach £1.23 billion in 2016, this is still a fraction of the size of its potential market. The British Banking Association estimates that peer-to-peer business lending platforms represent 6.56% of all new loans to SMEs. What a time to get sharing and become a trailblazer for others to start building this exciting new industry!
Share Investment Knowledge
As one of only a handful of platforms to offer direct investment options, investors on Crowd2Fund are able to individually pick the companies they invest in. Portfolios are built on individual interests (i.e. by sector), alongside a desired level risk criteria.
Inviting friends to the platform with mutual interests allows you to double down on your shared knowledge to build a bespoke portfolio. This will also give you the opportunity to discuss the Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) and its benefits over more traditional savings schemes.
So, why not sit tight and potentially earn a couple thousand extra pounds by simply sharing around to your network and friends? Be that trendsetter and start referring now!

- Format: PC (version reviewed), PS4, Switch
- Unleashed: Out Now
- Publisher: Unties
- Developer: Area 35
- Players: 1 (online multiplayer will be available soon)
- Site: http://tinymetal.com/

After playing a whole plethora of hyper-realistic games that attempt to mimic real life, having vibrant and stylised games like Tiny Metal is a most welcome breath of fresh air. Tiny Metal is a turn-based strategy war game developed and published by Air 35. The game takes inspiration from the genius that is Advance Wars, attempting to snatch a little of that genius for itself… but sadly, ultimately fails.
In Tiny Metal, you play as Nathan Greiss, a budding lieutenant from the kingdom of Artemisia, who's on a mission to find the people responsible for the assassination of Artemisia's king. The story quickly picks up as you find that the attack is not truly what it appears to be and there's no doubt that the story, while clichéd, is pretty solid.
It is a hybrid of 2D conversations and 3D combat. The art used for the characters is simplistic and charming, but you won't have any issues getting a feel for the characters and the story despite the obvious gap between the theme of war, and the cute anime art style (think Pokemon).
Gameplay is pleasantly satisfying and fun. There's a whole plethora of available vehicles, soldiers, and aircraft that you can use to your advantage. What's amazing is that each of these assets have clearly defined strengths and weaknesses, all of which you can exploit to your advantage.
The map designs and concept resonate well with the combat mechanics of Tiny Metal. You're usually unaware of what's happening anywhere you can't see, and you'll need to explore the entire map to find goodies like extra buildings, helipads, and even ledgers which store valuable information about the enemy.
Unfortunately, while the gameplay is theoretically great, the execution is not. In the first hour of playing, you'll enjoy seeing the enemy movement. You'll be excited counting how many of your soldiers die to the AI's attacks and how many your troops kill in retaliation, but keep in mind that Tiny Metal is only around nine hours long (at least for our playthrough).
Constantly seeing every single 3D battle scene quickly makes it annoying and unbearable. You can't skip them. Not to mention the fact that the game will forcefully show you these scenes every single time a unit attacks. Arguably, half of the time we spent on the game was probably wasted on watching these scenes.
Combat takes a large blow from the AI too. Players can easily run circles around it without breaking a sweat. The AI intelligence is at a level where it isn't even capable of performing basic combat combos like lock-on and combined attacks, which makes combat boring and predictable. In fact, once you have access to the Striker units, you can easily bait any enemy unit with foot soldiers and it will work Every. Single. Time.
Furthermore, there are small issues that can range from 'not really important' to 'extremely annoying'. First of all, there is no distinction between keyboard and keyboard & mouse control. The mouse cursor will constantly be on your screen regardless of whether you're using the mouse or not. You can move it to the side, but sometimes it will randomly come back to the middle of the screen and select something you don't want it to. I accidentally chose the wrong action multiple times because of this. Some voices are also missing from the game. There are instances where there's still a text bubble, but the character will not utter a word.
Overall, while this is a solid game with fun gameplay, it isn't without its faults and, unfortunately for Tiny Metal, the faults take a huge toll on the game. The combat becomes boring and slow due to the extremely long conversations during the cutscenes; and once you're finally in combat, you need to waste even more time watching cutscenes that really should've come with an option to turn them off.
Normally we wouldn't be too hard on a game for minor quirks such as missing voices and other small but obvious errors. However, Tiny Metal has been out since 2017, and these issues still haven't been fixed. That shouldn't be discounted from the overall quality of the game.
If you're not a fan of visual novels or anything that talks at you too much, then Tiny Metal is definitely not for you. However, if you can live through that, then this game can provide you with hours of fun and is probably worth picking up.

Swift times on the roads in Brighton from Twell and Goolab, while Peter Le Grice and Helen Davies win marathon crowns
Steph Twell enjoyed an emphatic victory in the BM 10km as Nick Goolab led a number of Brits under the 29-minute barrier as he took the men's race on the roads of Brighton.
Twell clocked 31:58 to finish just over a minute ahead of GB world cross competitors Mhairi Maclennan (32:59) and Emily Hosker-Thornhill (33:03) with Kate Reed, the 2008 Olympian, showing a good return to form in fourth (33:08).
Goolab (below) clocked a course record of 28:22 from Adam Hickey (28:53), Andy Heyes (28:56), Jack Gray (28:57), Shaun Antell (28:57) and Phil Sesemann (28:58) with Ben Connor, returning from injury, just outside 29 minutes.
In the Brighton Marathon itself Peter Le Grice of Bristol & West and Helen Davies of Ipswich Jaffa took the men's and women's titles.
In cold and blustery conditions Davies (below) clocked a PB of 2:34:08, while Le Grice ran a PB of 2:16:23 – the fastest time by a Briton on this course.
Le Grice plans an autumn marathon and his next race will be the Vitality London 10,000 on the roads on May 27 – a race Davies will also be doing after running in a 10km event in Woodbridge earlier in May.
In the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon there was an Ethiopian one-two-three in the women's race as Gelete Burka clocked 2:22:47 to beat Azmera Gebru (2:22:52) & Azmera Abreha (2:23:35).
In fourth, Clémence Calvin ran a French record of 2:23:41 after a tumultuous week that saw a provisional suspension dramatically lifted on Friday after she was earlier accused of failing to co-operate with anti-doping officers in Morocco last month.

Abrha Milaw took the men's victory in Paris in 2:07:05 from fellow Ethiopian Asefa Mengistu (2:07:25) as Paul Lonyangata of Kenya saw his hopes of winning a hat-trick of titles in Paris thwarted as he was third in 2:07:29.
At the age of 56, Spain's 1994 European and 1995 world marathon champion Martin Fiz clocked 2:27:45.
Meanwhile, in sprints action over the weekend Adam Gemili ran an early UK 100m lead of 10.11 (0.4m/s) for victory at the Grenada Invitational, while Miguel Francis ran 20.16 (+1.0m/s) to move to joint eighth on the British 200m all-time list. The 24-year-old has a PB of 19.88 but his time in Grenada is his quickest since having his GB allegiance confirmed in 2017 and it saw him win ahead of Olympic silver medallist Andre De Grasse as Justin Gatlin pulled up with cramp.
Also in Grenada, Evonne Britton clocked a 12.81 PB (+1.9m/s) for a 100m hurdles world lead over Megan Symmonds with 12.93 and Nia Ali with 12.99. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won the 100m in 11.20 (+0.6m/s).
British 100m and 200m record-holder Dina Asher-Smith was among athletes in Southern Athletics League action over the weekend and stepped up to form part of Blackheath & Bromley's 4x400m team, running the first leg in Gillingham.
She ran a split time of 52.60 which contributed to the team's Southern League and club record time of 3:40.54 which ranks 11th all-time among UK clubs and saw them win by 24 seconds.
She was joined by Shannon Hylton who ran 55.43, Holly Mpassy with 56.85 and Krystal Galley with 55.60.
Asher-Smith later tweeted: "It was far too long. Anything above 20 odd seconds is too much fast running for my liking."
So, at the Southern Athletics league in Gillingham yesterday, the first leg of the womens 4x400m for Blackheath & Bromley yesterday was one @dinaashersmith! Pretty much the best sprinter in the world, at a SAL match! Gutted to have missed it but my coach got a great photo. pic.twitter.com/vUyGadXpnM

Amelia Strickler threw a shot put PB of 17.51m in California to move from 10th to eighth on the UK all-time list.
In Valencia, Britain's Emile Cairess ran 28:48.15 and Mahamed Mahamed clocked 29:01.34 for 10,000m on the track.
At The Armory in New York, CJ Albertson ran the fastest ever indoor marathon with a time of 2:17:59.4. His 211-lap challenge included a 30.8 last 200m.

The fastest men's UK parkrun time was set by James Hunt of Cardiff at Porthcawl with 14:57. The Stretford first finisher ran 15:03 but did so anonymously, while Edgar Sumskis ran 15:08 at Peterborough.
Other notable first-placers included Jake Wightman, who did so at Bushy Park (which had 1231 finishers) in 15:21. M40 Nick Torry, who the previous week had won the Paddock Wood Half Marathon, was first home in Dulwich in 15:22.
parkrun record-holder Andrew Baddeley, who was down in Brighton to help with the children's runs, led in the Hove Promenade in 16:37.
The fastest women's time was at Bushy Park where Hayley Carruthers ran 16:05. Fionnuala Ross led home the women in Springburn in 16:52 and was the only other sub-17 woman runner.
Women dominated the age-grading. W60 Lynne Higgins was the leading woman at Cleethorpes in 20:21 and scored 99.59%. W55 Clare Elms ran Beckenham in 18:10 and scored 98.35% as she 'first-finished' her 151st parkrun in 151 parkruns.
W60 Carolyn Milne (20:07 – 95.11% at Aberdeen), W70 Angela Copson (23:48 – 95.10% at Rosliston) and W70 Margaret Moody (23.44 – 93.82% at Basingstoke) completed the top five.
Ten-year-old Fred Jones, the National Prep School champion, ran a superb 17:53 at Isabel Trail to finish fifth overall.

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy
Author Mackenzie Lee
Publisher Katherin Tegen Books | 2018
Pages 450
historical fiction | young adult
A year after an accidentally whirlwind grand tour with her brother Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.
But then a window of opportunity opens—a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes if she could meet this man he could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity's way, so long as she's allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid.
In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl's true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic. (from Goodreads)
This review is spoiler-freeee! 🙂
My first audiobook of the year! Woop! This book is so much fun. I really loved Gentleman's Guide when I read it last year and was super psyched when I finished and saw that this sequel was on its way! I loved Felicity in the first book and in this one, she definitely does not disappoint. She's just as fun of a narrator as Monty was, and this book is just a wonderful mixture of girl power, friendship, and high sea adventure!
Let me preface the rest of this by saying that I was… confused when I started this book. For some reason that I absolutely cannot remember for the life of me, when I read Gentleman's Guide I got the vibe that Felicity and Scipio were, like… gonna be a thing? So when I first added this to my TBR, I was like- petticoats and PIRACY?! That means I get to spend a whole other book with Scipio! Yay! And that… did NOT happen. Please someone tell me I'm not crazy to have thought this. I can't remember if there were even ANY signs whatsoever that they might be romantically connected, but now I just feel kinda dumb to have thought it, haha. HOWEVER, this misunderstanding did not diminish this book for me at all. I still loved it!
"You deserve to be here. You deserve to exist. You deserve to take up space in this world of men."
Felicity is an AMAZING character. She is strong, determined, intelligent, and just an all-around joy to read about. There were so many laugh out loud moments and you can't help but want to love and protect her (though she can definitely do that herself). She starts out this book so, completely done with the path her life is currently on and is dead-set on finding her way into a medical career despite all of the rejection she's faced. She's willing to do almost anything to make that happen with almost no regard for others (at first), to the point that she did a few things that made me go, omg WHY are you doing that?! Mean! But she's still so lovely that I forgive her for them.
One of the strongest factors of this book is the friendship between Felicity and Johanna. I adored Johanna, who is such a kind-hearted, loving and fearless woman and I want nothing but good things for her. She wasn't afraid to call Felicity out on her bullshit and stand up for herself in times of turmoil. The two girls share such a great bond and there were so many amazing, wholesome moments that just warm your entire heart. This book truly feels like some kind of love letter to feminism and women and it's so, so fantastic to read about.
"Monty does an exasperatingly dramatic throwing of his hands over his eyes, and exclaims, 'Dear God, Felicity Montague, keep your clothes on!'"
OK, on to Monty & Percy! I frickin' LOVE Monty. Every single moment with him was absolutely incredible and it was like picking up right where we left off. The relationship between Monty and Felicity was one of the high points of Gentleman's Guide, and that is still true for the sequel. They are so funny when they are sniping with each other but they also have such a great fondness for each other and I adore them so so much. Percy was great, as always, and there's just so many great friendships and relationships in this book that I love them all.
Overall, this was a fantastic read. I was so happy while reading it, though there were a few chunks towards the middle of the book that felt a teeny bit slow. Lady's Guide was such a fun, thrilling book and I would happily dive back into the Montague siblings' world again and again if Mackenzie would write more! 🙂

IT HAS been a year to remember for international contractors in Qatar. In the space of 12 months, more than $4,500 million worth of contracts has been awarded, as Doha has successfully translated its industrial plans into real projects. And, there is more to come. A second integrated gas project, a refinery upgrade and a major expansion of the Umm Said steel plant are all on the drawing board.
The unprecedented level of activity is all the more remarkable in view of the market's size. Qatar has fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, and after Bahrain, is the smallest GCC state.
Nor does Doha have a good track record for implementing major projects, least of all at times of low oil prices. Although numerous schemes were unveiled during 1985-1991, only one, the $800 million first-phase development of the North Field, succeeded in getting off the ground.
Two factors came into play to change Qatari fortunes. The first was in autumn 1992, when a long-awaited cabinet reshuffle and shake-up in ministry responsibilities was announced. 'Those events ushered in a new dawn for Qatar,' says a Western diplomat in Doha. 'The new appointees in ministries such as energy and industry had a greater sense of purpose. They were more approachable and were intent on instilling greater transparency into business affairs.'
The second catalyst was Doha's discovery of international finance. Before last year, Qatar could not point to a single project financing success. Since then, four major projects have proceeded on the back of external finance, underlining the growing willingness of the international banking community to take on Qatari risk.
Various financing arrangements have been used, and different financial markets targeted. For the $385 million extension of the Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco) plant, $200 million was raised from local and regional institutions. Qatar Fertiliser Company (Qafco) adopted a classic project finance model to raise funds for its $500 million expansion: Italian and German export credits were supported by European commercial loans. Qatar Liquefied Gas Company (Qatargas) secured $2,000 million of export credits and commercial loans from the Export-Import Bank of Japan and four Japanese banks to finance the downstream portion of its integrated gas project.
Doha's industrial programme has also benefited from cut-throat competition among international contractors. Prices for the main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts have all come in well below budget. The Qatargas liquefaction plant contract went to Japan's Chiyoda Corporation for just under $1,400 million, almost half the original estimate. The trend reflects a downturn in opportunities in other regional markets and a belief among international contractors that an early foothold in Qatar will ensure future contract success.
Despite the award of the main EPC contracts, contractors are still monitoring projects such as the Qatargas scheme and the Ras Abu Fontas B power station project in the hope of clinching subcontract work. Several sizable orders are waiting to be placed. Chiyoda recently issued the instrumentation tender for the liquefaction plant at Ras Laffan. A decision is pending for the offshore civils subcontract on the $1,100 million power station.
Contractors are also keeping close tabs on the recent decision by Qatargas to add a third gas train at its 4 million tonne-a-year (t/y) facility. Chiyoda has the option to carry out the additional work, which is scheduled to be completed in 1998. Similar interest is expressed in the Qatar National Cement Company project, involving the construction of a 2,000 tonne-a- day clinker line near Umm Bab. Three European companies - CLE Technip and Fives-Cail Babcock, both of France, plus Denmark's FL Smidth & Company - submitted the low bids for the estimated $150 million turnkey contract in May.
Plans are now being drawn up for the next generation of industrial schemes. Costed at over $5,000 million, their fortunes will again hinge on the willingness of the international financial markets to provide the funding. The feeling in banking circles is that the funds will be forthcoming. Says one London banker, 'There are still many financial institutions and export credit agencies that have not participated in Qatari lending. At the same time, there are enough bankers around who have the market knowledge and experience to explain to newcomers the pitfalls and advantages of the market.'
Whether Doha will want to take on further borrowing commitments is more doubtful. Money could be tight over the next 10 years, as state-owned industries look to meet their loan repayments and await the full financial benefits of the gas revenues. The upshot may be that the government will look to postpone further project work until existing debt levels have been reduced.
Among the schemes planned are:
The Ras Laffan LNG Company (Rasgas) project. The estimated $5,000 million scheme, promoted by Qatar General Petroleum Corporation and Mobil Corporation of the US, is poised to enter the tendering phase this autumn: Rasgas is finalising the list of prequalifiers for the two main EPC contracts, covering onshore and offshore works. Both contracts are scheduled to be awarded in mid-1995, allowing the 5 million-7.5 million t/y liquefaction plant to begin operations in 1998. Prospective bidders expect to be asked to incorporate a financing package in their bid submissions and say that US contractors are the early favourites to take the work. Rasgas has still to sign gas sales and purchase agreements with Far East power utilities.
The National Oil Development Company (Nodco) scheme. Initial offers are due to be submitted by international contractors in early August for the $400 million-500 million scheme. Companies have been requested to submit a pre-front end engineering and design study, a quote for the EPC contract, and details of a financing proposal covering the entire project costs. The Umm Said job entails the installation of a 20,000 barrel a day (b/d) fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), the construction of a 30,000 b/d condensate refinery and a 25 per cent expansion of the number two refinery unit.
Expansion of the Qatar Steel Company (Qasco) plant. Qasco is planning two schemes which will upgrade and expand its Umm Said facility. For the first, covering internal modifications, the company is on the verge of selecting an international contractor for the $40 million order. The second, larger project - known as Qasco-2 - calls for a 500,000 t/y capacity increase. A feasibility study has recently been completed for the 36-month scheme and tender invitations for the first construction packages should be issued in early 1995. Qasco is likely to seek some finance from export credit agencies to cover the estimated $300 million construction costs.
The company's decision to divide Qasco-2 into packages reflects the management's desire to place some business in the local market. 'We would like everyone to benefit from the project,' says Qasco general manager Nasser Mohammed al-Manssory.
The decision will be warmly welcomed by many Doha-based contractors. A feature of the recent industrial construction boom has been the lack of local involvement. The exception is Midmac Contracting Company, which has emerged as the only serious local contender to challenge the foreign domination of the market. It has picked up civil subcontracts on Ras Abu Fontas B, the Qafco expansion and the cryogenic storage units package for Qatargas.
Local frustration at seeing project after project go offshore has been compounded by the downturn in other sectors of the construction market. Over the past year, companies have had to console themselves by competing for work worth around $5 million a project.
Local hopes
Local hopes for the future are vested in a series of prestigious building and infrastructure projects. Bids were submitted in mid-July for an estimated $30 million contract to construct a new headquarters in West Bay for Qatar Public Telecommunications Company. The Beirut-based Dar al-Handasah has started work on designs for a $47 million housing project at Ras Laffan. The Municipal Affairs & Agriculture Ministry is planning to tender $120 million of infrastructure work for the West Bay lagoon project.
The West Bay scheme highlights the ministry's new drive to secure private- sector finance for many of its development schemes. Local investors have bought housing plots around the lagoon, which will in turn pay for the necessary infrastructure. They will then be asked to choose - and pay for - one of several styles of housing designed by the ministry.
The success of the project has encouraged the ministry to draw up a more ambitious proposal. International contractors are scheduled to be invited in the autumn to prepare build-operate-transfer (BOT) offers for the new Doha international airport. Estimated to cost $350 million, the airport is due for completion by 1998.
Back in early 1993, foreign contractors would have scoffed at the idea of a BOT airport in Qatar. But 18 months on, and with $5,000 million worth of industrial project work placed, there are few willing to stake their reputation on the project failing to go ahead in some form. For as the change demonstrates, Qatar is no longer a backwater of the Gulf construction market, the final destination on a regional business trip. Rather, it is a place where major projects are still being planned and will almost certainly proceed if the financing is secured.

By Amy Grantham, Special to Everyday Health
In July 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 31 years old, and had a family history of the disease. Knowing what women in my family had already been through, I did monthly breast exams on myself at home, which is exactly how I found the lump that was growing in my right breast.
Luckily, I acted fast and saw someone immediately. Little did I know how quickly my life was going to change. I had two surgeries (a lumpectomy and a re-excision), chemo, radiation, and an eventual bone marrow biopsy. I also had genetic testing done and learned that I have the BRCA2 gene. Today I am living a healthy life, staying positive, creating, making art, and looking forward to what life has in store for me.
I Have Cancer... and a New Vocabulary
I have always believed in the power of creativity, whether it's something I create or something someone else has created that brings me joy, moves me to tears, or makes me think about life in a way I might not have before. For me, being creative has always been a sanctuary. It only made sense that when I was diagnosed with breast cancer my very first thought was that I would start a blog -- Boooo Cancer. You Suck!
That's right, it was my first thought! I knew that one of the only ways I was going to get through a pretty tough road ahead was to have an outlet of some kind. My blog became a safe haven, a place where I could dump out all of the thoughts that were racing through my mind on any given day. It was also a space where my friends and family could check in to see what I was going through. I didn't have to re-hash what was usually very hard to process internally, let alone do it on the phone with a well-meaning loved one. Writing my blog not only helped others understand what I was going through, it helped me.
When you have cancer you suddenly gain an entirely new vocabulary. You start using words you never thought in a million years would be coming out of your mouth. Suddenly you know about blood counts and steroid doses and things that would never have crossed your pre-cancer mind. I spoke to a lot of people through the blog who said that they had cancer but didn't talk to anyone about it. I thought, how lonely that must be. It's such a huge weight to have looming over you as it is, but to have to go through it alone is almost more than anyone should have to bear. Having a creative outlet is so crucial to staying healthy.
Post-Radiation, Putting Feeling Into Film
I loved meeting up with him after radiation because I knew I would get to talk about everything that was happening. We decided the focus of the film would be what it is like when you finish treatment, something I think is not discussed all that often. The end of my treatment was looming and I was having some real "what now?" moments that kept throwing me off.
It was such a relief to get out of treatment and just write. And talk. And process what was going on with a friend and fellow artist. For me, turning my experience into a film was a wonderful way to take a negative like cancer and turn it into something positive. It was also a nice way for me to close that chapter of my life while still giving others a glimpse into what I was going through at the time.
The movie is called Lily, and its release date is December 9; you can find it on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and Google Play, and at www.thefilmlily.com.
In many ways, being creative and making art is what got me through my cancer treatment. If I hadn't had a way to get it all out, a place to crumple it up and turn it all into something new, something good, I don't think I would have gotten through things as well as I did.
Art can be a powerful healer -- music, literature, film, painting, drawing, dancing… you name it! When you have that much going on inside of you, it's so wonderful to have a way to get it all out and, I hope, touch somebody else's life in the process.

EUGENE, Ore.- While walking through the Whiteaker neighborhood, it is evident that it is not just a regular neighborhood, but rather of a flourishing community. "People are always walking around and our neighbors actually talk to each other," Whiteaker residents Melissa and Reilly Ferrell said.
It is difficult to miss the beautiful art that covers many walls and shops throughout the Whiteaker neighborhood. "Every single person is representing the arts in some way, whether it's fashion or just being kookie," Olive DelSoul said. DelSoul lives and works in the Whiteaker and could only think of positive things about the neighborhood. Whether you enjoy walking through the streets hearing the sounds of live music or relaxing on a park bench, there is an electric feeling that fills this neighborhood. "This is a neighborhood with identity. Where else in Eugene has something like this," DelSoul said.
A neighborhood with identity can attribute both negatives and positives. Recently residents voted to allow people to publicly camp in the neighborhood. This vote symbolizes a lot about the people of the community. Unlike the circumstances of Whoville, a homeless camping area that was recently shut down by police in the West University/Downtown area in Eugene, the residents of Whiteaker demonstrate that they are there to help one another. "I would not want to have to call the police of these people so I just try and talk to them myself. Surprisingly, people have been nice and willing to accommodate," Reilly Ferrell said.
The disadvantage of allowing people to camp in the area is that people often park their cars and vans outside of residents' homes. Although a unique aspect to the neighborhood, there have been occurrences where some individuals have taken advantage of the new rule. "It's fine that people are staying in our area but when you find used needles in your own backyard, you see the downside of allowing people to camp," said the Ferrell's.
The close proximity of restaurants, parks and shops is one of the ways the neighborhood feels more intimate than others. Joshua Hosaka, manager of Papa Soul Food Kitchen, a popular restaurant in the neighborhood, hopes to see more people spend more in Whiteaker. "Whiteaker is a one of a kind place and it is growing every day. I wish there was more diversity. I don't just mean race, I mean people from around the Eugene Community," Hosaka said.
The genuine friendliness of residents and employees makes Whiteaker a true neighborhood. "This is the most neighborhood type of place in Eugene. The roots of a rebellion are here in Whiteaker," DelSoul said.

The key to successful marketing is not only to promote your products and services but to establish a lasting first impression – that plays a significant role both in getting new customers and retaining them for years to come. In today's time, you will find hundreds of mind-blowing marketing and advertising techniques to market your business but choosing the one that works best for you and drives value to your business is the key to succeeding in your endeavors.
There is little doubt that if money is not a constraint for you, you can try any marketing technique to advertise your business, but if you have a limited budget, you can't make the mistake of relying on a method that doesn't work for you.
In this post, we will discuss why vehicle wraps are essential for small businesses, so if you also run a small company, continue reading.
Here is why small businesses should invest in vehicle wrap advertising.
- Inexpensive
There is little doubt that cost remains a primary factor that influences your decision making in a big way when it comes to embracing a marketing or advertising technique. So as a small business if you are looking forward to adopting an inexpensive way of advertising your business, look no further than vehicle wraps.
When compared to billboards, or ads that appear on TV and radio ( Which have recurring costs), vehicle wrap advertising is way too budget-friendly.
- Eye-Catching
Embracing vehicle wrap advertising allows you to transform your company vehicle into a mobile marketing tool. Well-designed vehicle wraps are, without a doubt, highly eye-catching.
Your colorful car, bus, or truck, containing crucial information about your business, will grab the attention of potential customers whenever you use them. Whether you talk about waiting in traffic signals or driving in crowded markets and highways, people of all ages will notice your vehicle everywhere.
- Excellent For Local Marketing
If your main focus is to advertise your business in your local area, you will get the best results by embracing vehicle wrap advertising. It is a unique way of spreading your business message among people living in your area.
Every time your vehicle will hit the roads in your city or town, people will notice it without actually paying attention to it.
- No Distraction
When compared to ads that run on TV and Radio, vehicle wraps neither force anyone to look at them nor distract people from what they are doing. Nobody gets' disturbed when they spot your car on a highway or parked somewhere in a parking lot. People get information about your business without you compelling them to look at your ad.
Improved Brand Awareness
The more people will observe your vehicle wrap, the more it will increase your brand awareness. Brand awareness is nothing but the degree to which customers are aware of your brand's unique qualities. No matter what kind of products or services you deal with, you should continuously work towards increasing your brand awareness for getting new customers.
If people are well aware of your brand and they trust your products and services, it will not only help in promoting a new product but will also maintain the craze for your existing products among your customers.
Lastly, if you want people walking in the street and on busy roads to observe your vehicle wrap, you must get it designed from a trusted Design Agency. So make sure that you compare the work, experience, and reputation of a couple of design firms in your area to choose a reliable one to design your vehicle wraps.

Emma Watson has imparted some magical study advice for an unsuspecting student in Manila.Demi Lovato's ex Max Ehrich says he 'found out about relationship status through tabloids'
Therese Kiara received a special greeting from Watson via Facetime after the Filipina student's mum bumped into the actress on the street.
Speaking about the encounter on Facebook, Kiara said the Harry Potter actress was 'kind and sweet'.
'I was studying for my Bio exam when my Mom called to show Emma Watson standing behind her, then she politely asked Emma if she can say hi to me on the cam,' she wrote on Facebook.
After saying hello, Watson said to 'study hard!', leading Kiara to share the most understandable reaction to chatting to the star: 'OH GOOD LORD, I CAN NOT BREATHE.'
Chatting later to ABS-CBN News, Kiara said she hoped her experience would 'motivate more people to study hard.'
It would seem Watson has developed a knack for sharing valuable advice on life's important issues.
Many were left scratching their heads back in February when the Beauty And The Beast starlet was spotted dishing out advice for $2 a pop via an iPad in Grand Central Station.
The stunt was actually a social experiment set up by journalist Derek Blasberg for Vanity Fair's YouTube segment Derek Does Stuff With A Friend.
Questions to Watson got stuck into the real issues very quickly, with one man in particular wanting to know how to tell his pals he was expecting his first child with his wife.
'Really freak them out,' joked Watson.
'Really lower their expectations, then tell them "we're having a baby", and they'll be like, "that's freaking awesome!"'
Watson was also interviewed for a Vanity Fair article accompanying a topless high-fashion shoot.
The shoot, by British photographer Tim Walker, was pretty controversial, with critics calling her feminist views into question
The backlash forced the actress to defend herself, saying the whole point of feminism was about 'choice' – just like her decision to pose in the shoot.
'Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick about which to beat other women with,' she told Reuters at the time.
'It's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about equality. I really don't know what my tits have to do with it. It's very confusing.'

Nasa asks public to pen message for ALIENS but its hijacked by smart alecs – with hilarious results
The winning message would be sent to Voyager 1 - a probe that has been floating in space for 40 years
LONELY space probe Voyager One is currently floating around interstellar space, far, far away from our own solar system.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its launch next month, Nasa has asked the public to write a message that will be beamed out to the craft.
It's hoped the note will be read by extra-terrestrial life someday.
The probe already has a "golden record" with sounds and images of Earth stored on it.
Nasa asked the general public to tweet messages fitting for a first extraterrestrial encounter.
The 60 character messages were to be submitted under the hashtag #MessageToVoyager.
The PR folks behind the idea expected a series with warm welcomes to our little green friends.
But as we all learnt from the Boaty McBoatface debacle: the web has a cracking sense of humour - and very little respect for social norms and manners.
As to be expected, several made lewd and rude requests for Voyager to "send nudes".
Others asked whether the probe could "bring back some milk" or "pick up the kids after work, as I'm running late".
There were even some cries for help.
Others took the opportunity to write some inspiring entries.
Dr Nahid Bhadelia, a renowned infectious diseases physician, wrote: "You represent the best parts of us.
MAN'S GREATEST MISTAKE? See why Nasa's maps which were 'foolishly' sent into space might cost us our lives
"Even on days we disappoint ourselves, you continue to ascend & remind us to aim higher. #MessageToVoyager."
Realising her first message ran over the character limit, Dr Bhadelia later shortened it to a lyrical: "You are best parts of us. Even on days we fail, you ascend.
Nasa wound up the competition yesterday evening and will announce the winner in due course.
Its intrepid Voyager 1 spacecraft is responsible for one of the most memorable space pictures we have back in 1979.
It captured Jupiter's tumultuous Red Spot storm, which is believed to have been raging on for 350 years.
Some have questioned whether sending a message to aliens is a bright idea.
Back in the early days of space exploration, there were plans to offer aliens charts telling them how to find Earth.
But a man who sent four maps into deep space now fears this decision could prove to be a total disaster for humankind.
There's suggestion that we'd be better off listening instead of talking when it comes to cosmic communication.

Since the first of the year, I have seen some really awful movies. I see at least two or three movies every week so I have seen a lot of stinkers since the first of the year. When I run into friends, they ask me, "What good movies have you seen lately?" Sadly, I said "none". Unfortunately, few good movies are released in January and February because the Academy of Arts and Science members have short memories and are more likely to nominate movies released in late summer or fall for awards. But finally, I saw an excellent movie last night. The movie is called "A United Kingdom" and is based on a true story.
Prince Seretse Khama of Botswana causes an international stir when he marries a white woman from London in the late 1940s.
"A United Kingdom" stars David Oyelowo. He was phenomenal as Seretse Khama. You may recognize Oyelowo from "Selma" and "Queen of Katwe." Rosamund Pike turns in a sterling performance as Khama's wife Ruth Williams. Jack Davenport is Alistair Canning. Tom Felton of the Harry Potter series is Rufus Lancaster. Terry Pheto plays Khama's sister Naledi Khama. Laura Carmichael who played Edith on "Downton Abbey" is Muriel Williams. Jessica Oyelowo, David Oyelowo's real life wife, is Lady Lilly Canning. Each and every actor in this film was amazing.
Amma Asante directed. She is known for directing "Belle" and "A Way of Life." Asante brought out the best in her actors. I am anxious to see more movies by this Director.
Written by Guy Hibbert, "A United Kingdom's" script tells an astonishing true love story.
I was not the only one who enjoyed this movie, the audience really got into it. People all around me were talking back to the screen and moaning when the protagonists were in peril or laughing when something funny happened. At the end of the film, it received a warm round of applause from the audience.
As we left the theater, I overheard many people talking about how much they enjoyed the film. I hope next year at about this time we see "A United Kingdom" up for an Academy Award and the actors and actresses up for Oscar's too.
The cinematography of the African country side was marvelous.
"A United Kingdom:" opens Friday. Unfortunately, you will have to drive to St. Louis to see this wonderful film but it is worth the time and gasoline to go to St. Louis to see this.

What's a landing page?
Here are our favorite two Landing Page Creation Tools: ClickFunnels & BuilderallIn the most simple terms, a landing page isn't any web page that a visitor could arrive on (or, you know,"property on"). Landing pages are the best way for businesses to turn internet visitors into leads or sales; however, while many companies use landing pages, these pages are under-utilized. Research indicates that 62 percent of these businesses use only six or fewer landing pages within their marketing strategies.
Why does your company need them?Too often, website visitors don't convert since their click sends them into the homepage rather than a specific landing page that guides them through the sales funnel. An effective strategy can enhance conversions by 48 per cent or longer. Don't get left behind. Here's why each modern marketer should incorporate landing pages in their digital advertising strategy. Conversions – Your website is to provide customers with an engaging and tailored encounter because it's those experiences that lead to sales. Landing pages are the bread and butter of website conversions. When people are given targeted content, they're more likely to take another step, such as filling out a contact form or buying a product. Lead generation – Nothing makes gathering online leads easier than having landing pages on your website. Links that are dispersed through different channels like social media, email, and search traffic are dropped to your website's homepage. Reclaim those misplaced leads by steering visitors to your landing pages. Do you remember? It is worth it to be at the top. Literally. Collect demographic information – When a lead turns into a conversion, then you get valuable information about who's visiting your website. That information allows you to target your audience in a more direct and effective method. Content to pair with marketing offers – Marketing offers may have a hard time finding a home in your website. Offers seek to incentivize users to obtain your product or service. So obviously, the ideal location to put them is using pages created to convert. If you're searching to generate more prospects, rank high in search, score more conversions, pinpoint your demographic, and increase the effectiveness of your advertising offers, then it is time to develop a killer landing page strategy.
