Which flash technology is best for your smartphone photography ambitions?
Chances are that your smartphone uses an LED flash for when you're in a low-light photography situation. You might also see the occasional (rare) phone that boasts a Xenon flash. So, what are the differences between the two and which is best for smartphone photography?
LED flash
The nigh-ubiquitous LED is the most common way of illuminating a dark scene when you're taking a snap and there are some obvious benefits to it. The LED itself is cheap and they don't consume a lot of power, which are the same reasons why they're popular for lighting the home.
They're also quite small which makes them ideal for smartphones where thinner is always better. They can be easily installed without creating any additional bulk to their carefully-engineered design.
A final bonus is that they can be run continuously, which is how you get the torch or flashlight feature on your phone.
However, there are downsides to an LED flash. Although it doesn't feel that way when you accidentally stare at one, LEDs are quite dim compared to other flash technology. That also means they cover only a small area when they're fired off.
Further, they're slow when they flash so moving objects might get blurred. The issue you're likely to be most familiar with is that the colour can be a bit odd for indoors lending a slightly blueish tone at times.
Xenon flash
So what about Xenon? Most standalone cameras use this technology, which is at its most basic a tube of gas that flashes super bright. (Apologies to the photographers and chemists who are no doubt infuriated by that explanation).
The reason photographers love it is that it's bright! It's up to 1000 times brighter than LED. It illuminates a big space and it happens super-quickly, so it's better at capturing motion.
The reason it's not tremendously popular for smartphones relates mostly to the additional hardware required. You need to install that tube of gas (again, apologies) and that requires a lot of additional fiddling around with the phone body. It's also a flash: it can't replicate the torch function of an LED and anyone who watched the first Saw movie knows that it's never a good idea to try and use a camera flash to illuminate a room.
Xenon flashes are far more power-hungry, meaning that it will significantly impact your overall battery life. But it's not just LED vs Xenon, these days. There is a third option...
Dual LED
Dual LED flashes use two LEDs of slightly different colours to get past the tone problem of LED.
Taking a flash photo uses both LEDs – one "warmer" and one "cooler" – and then has the phone cleverly combine the two flashes to match the best colour for the environment. At the moment, unless you're a serious photographer who's decided to only use a smartphone for some strange reason, a dual-LED flash on your phone will produce the best results for happy snaps.
And remember, filters were invented to make photos on social media look more interesting than they actually are, so slap down a few of those if you're worried. After a top-notch phone for photography? Check out our guide to the very best smartphones money can buy.

The 'defiant' Enthusiast
Let's not mess about here, losing in that way is hard to take. To watch your goalkeeper make not one, but two horrendous mistakes that cost you the game invokes indescribable feelings of anger. The game may not have been any closer if it weren't for Loris Karius' errors but it certainly wouldn't have been so easy for Real Madrid to win. Gifting them the trophy is a bitter pill to swallow and I'm sure many people would prefer to have been outclassed by Real instead. I can understand that view, I really can. It would certainly make it easier to look at Karius today.
Just think about that for a second though, and think about what you'd be asking for. You'd be asking for Real Madrid to deserve what they go on Saturday. You'd be asking for a gulf in class that would probably be devastating to watch. Do we really want Liverpool to be behind any team? Do we want to be off the pace of anyone? Do we want anyone to really be better than us? Of course, we don't, that's stupid. We want to be the best. We want teams to have to catch us on an off day or have some sort of uncanny luck to beat us. We definitely don't want mistakes on our end but we don't want to be shown up either.
For me, that is the most heartening thing to take from the game itself on Saturday night. We were in it throughout. Yes, Real probably were the better side in the second half but we were competitive for around eighty minutes. In fact, for the opening half-hour, I believe we shaded it. The sheer presence of Mo Salah had them rattled to the point that they had to injure him and put him out of the game to not have to deal with. We have Sergio Ramos to thank for that. Credit to him. He's nasty and he uses it to his advantage. I only wish we had more nasty players in our side.
Real Madrid are born winners and know how to win this competition in particular. Making us favourites before kick-off was naive on anyone's part who did so. We went to Kyiv and we stood toe-to-toe with the reigning champions of Europe for eighty minutes. They had to take our best player out of the game and capitalise on two huge goalkeeping errors to win.
They couldn't handle our pressing at the back for the opening half-an-hour. We went 1-0 down and showed tremendous character to peg them back just two minutes later. Our nineteen-year-old right-back silenced one of the greatest, the greatest in my eyes, for the majority of the game. Do you see now how much went against us here? Do you see how unfortunate we were to lose this football match?
It's disappointing, yes, but it isn't disheartening. Good times are back at Anfield. We have made it to three cup finals in as many years and we may not have won them, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. We have a man steering this ship who understands us, who gets this club and its fans.
We have a team built in our image and players who also get us, the fans. We came up short on this night but what about all the other nights? What about Roma and Manchester City? What about Porto? They were great nights we'll never forget. This is by no means a failure. This is not the end. This is only the beginning.
There were performances all over the pitch from players who had a point to prove. Dejan Lovren has taken massive stick this season, a lot of it from myself. On Saturday night though he showed he belongs at this club. He was admirable for ninety minutes, is right Dejan lad.
Virgil Van Dijk is another I wasn't keen on in the beginning. He looks like £75 million well spent now but some said he hadn't come against truly testing opposition yet. Well, how does Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema sound? He led fantastically and proved he belonged. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have apparently been in "great form". In Kyiv, they proved that class is permanent. Alexander-Arnold had one of the best to ever play the game in his back pocket for ninety minutes. The lad is going places.
I've said all season that this team, these lads, are on the verge of something special and I couldn't put my finger on what. I really thought it was the Champions League but, sadly, it wasn't meant to be. That doesn't mean that destiny has deserted them or their fate has been derailed, it simply means that this train is still rolling.
There is plenty more to come from this team, plenty more work to be done to improve it. It isn't perfect and I don't want it to be. Flaws have proved to be thrilling this season but we want more of these nights. We want to go back to another Champions League and we want more trips to Wembley. Klopp will strengthen in the summer but now isn't a time for that. It's a time for appreciating what these lads, this gang of insane, intense, composed, fantastic lads, have accomplished over the past nine months. We hadn't played Champions League football for three years before last August and we made a show of ourselves that time. This season we announced our return by beating some of Europe's best and making it all the way to the final.
This Champions League run has inspired some great fan songs but one of my favourites is a reworking of 'Solsbury Hill' by Peter Gabriel. The final two lines are "we'll travel Europe up and down until we regain our rightful crown." Our crown hasn't been regained yet. I suppose we'll have to keep travelling around Europe until it has been.

On 15 November 2017, Kanlaon Volcano's seismic monitoring network recorded two hundred seventy nine (279) deep volcanic earthquakes. Since 18 August 2017, the number of volcanic earthquakes detected per day has continued to increase. There has been no visible degassing or steaming from the active vent this year, although increased unrest could possibly develop into steam-driven or phreatic eruptions at the summit.
Source: DORRIS
Updated: 12/13/2017 2:39:41 AM
Kanlaon Volcano's seismic monitoring network recorded 578 volcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours. Moderate emission of white steam-laden plumes that rose to 800 meters before drifting northwest was observed.
Alert Level 2 status prevails over Kanlaon Volcano, which means that the volcano is undergoing a moderate level of unrest. There is probable intrusion of magma at depth which may or may not lead to a magmatic eruption. The local government units and the public are strictly reminded that entry into the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited due to the further possibilities of sudden and hazardous steam-driven or phreatic eruptions. Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as ejecta from any sudden phreatic eruption can be hazardous to aircraft.

Published Tuesday, December 12, 2017
Kanlaon Volcano in Negros has remained restive as the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded 155 new volcanic earthquakes over the past 24 hours.
The agency's seismic monitoring network on Monday reported that the active volcano moderately emitted white steam-laden plumes with height of 1,000 meters before drifting southwest.
Slight inflation of the edifice of the volcano since December 2005 was still noted through the ground deformation data from continuous global positioning system measurements, the monitoring network report said.
On Saturday, Phivolcs recorded a low-energy phreatic eruption. It was an explosion-type earthquake that lasted for about 10 minutes.
The event ejected dark ash and voluminous steam at three to four kilometers above the summit vent. It was accompanied by a rumbling sound heard by residents of La Castellana, Negros Occidental.
Degassing at the summit was also observed and detected through continuous low-energy tremor during periods when the summit was not visible.
As this developed, the Bago City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and City Health Office implemented Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis in Barangay Ilijan on Sunday.
The team conducted ocular inspection, including interviews with the affected community. The city's Health Emergency Management Staff also distributed masks to residents in the area.
Amid the recent activities, Alert Level 2 status still prevails over Kanlaon Volcano. This means that the volcano is undergoing a moderate level of unrest.

AAOS Board sets direction for future
Adopt 2007 preliminary budgets, position statements, on-call coverage, conduct strategic discussions
By Mary Ann Porucznik
Members of the Board of Directors (Board) for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) were focused on the future during their meeting Sept. 15-16, 2006, in Rosemont, Ill..
From the initial reports on unity to the adoption of 2007 preliminary budgets and plans for the next member needs assessment survey, the emphasis was on moving forward to serve AAOS members and the orthopaedic community as well as patients and the public
A united front on reimbursement
10 percent for THA, 6 percent for TKA and 4 percent for hip fracture treatment. Dr. Kyle noted that studies conducted by the AAOS and AAHKS showed no evidence for changing the work values of these procedures, and that the American Medical Association/Specialty Society Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) agreed with those finding. CMS, however, did not accept the RUC's recommendations in this area.
Representatives of the RUC, the AAOS and the AAHKS met with CMS officials to review the method used to develop the work RVUs for these procedures and clarify any misunderstandings. The AAOS will continue to cooperate with CMS to ensure that the concerns of orthopaedic surgeons regarding quality and access are heard and will notify members as soon as a final decision is reached.
Dr. Kyle also reviewed the results of the Unity Initiative stemming from the Specialty Society Summit in 2004. Since then, the number of AAOS continuing medical education (CME) courses cosponsored with an orthopaedic specialty society has nearly tripled (from four in 2004 to 11 in 2006), and the CME Courses Committee intends to have joint sponsorship for 75 percent of specialty-focused courses by 2008. Efforts to solicit specialty society involvement in various areas of the Annual Meeting, as well as in public relations and diversity efforts, have also increased. Partnerships with specialty societies for developing clinical practice guidelines, publications and international educational efforts continue to be pursued.
Dr. Kyle said he was "most excited" about new initiatives involving regional orthopaedic societies and increased involvement with state orthopaedic societies. Unity efforts, he said, should not focus just on specialty societies but on all orthopaedic organizations.
"2005—a very good year"
In his treasurer's report, William L. Healy, MD, noted that "2005 was a very good year" for the AAOS. (The complete treasurer's report can be found on page 44.) Total assets of $81.4 million at year-end 2005 represented an increase of $7 million from year-end 2004 and resulted from the operating income and investment gains for the year. Total net assets grew $6.4 million, from $57.2 million at the end of 2004 to $63.6 million at the end of 2005. Operating income for 2005 was $3.3 million, compared to $1.3 million of operating income in 2004. The long-term investment portfolio grew by $2.7 million and was valued at $40.7 million at the end of 2005.
Dr. Healy presented 2007 preliminary operating, capital and product development budgets for approval. The preliminary operating budget projects operating revenues of $50.5 million, investment income of $1.9 million and operating expenses of $52.4 million.
The preliminary capital budget is $1.6 million, with $482,000 proposed for the product development budget. Final budgets will be presented for approval at the December Board meeting.
Due to the recent change in the composition of the Board, a change in the composition of the Finance Committee may be necessary. The Board discussed several alternatives, and a final decision will be put forward as a bylaws amendment, to be voted on after the 2007 Annual Meeting.
Position statements approved
David A. Halsey, MD, chair of the Gainsharing Project Team, presented the team's final report. He noted the need to refocus discussions on "gainsharing" to emphasize the importance of putting the patient's interests first. The proposed position statement, which the Board approved, reads in part,
"The AAOS is opposed to supply-based purchasing arrangements where the cost savings obtained are disbursed directly to physicians rather than used to enhance patient care…The AAOS is opposed to any gainsharing or similar arrangements that deny physicians the opportunity to select and utilize appropriate supplies and devices. The clinical judgment of the surgeon, in concert with the patient's unique needs and preferences, should drive patient care decisions, not the financial gain of the facility and surgeons. Health care decisions should always be achieved through cooperation among the orthopaedic surgeon, the patient (and family) and a coordinated health care team…As part of a collaborative effort, orthopaedic surgeons within a hospital can cooperate in developing cost-containment strategies as long as patient care is never compromised, the proper safeguards are in place and any compensation for this work is fair and reasonable and not directly tied to revenue gains."
Advocacy efforts
Reporting for the Orthopaedic Political Action Committee (PAC), Stuart L. Weinstein, MD, noted that as of July 31, 2006, the PAC had received nearly $2.2 million in contributions and had achieved a 22 percent participation rate among AAOS members.

They say a change is as good as a holiday, and I don't know about you, but as a mom I often feel like I need a holiday. Since I can't go all the time, I try changes – whether it's a new red lipstick, a new nail polish, or something more "dramatic" like a hair change. Last year for example, I had very dark hair, a bob with a fringe, and this year it's a lot longer, with blonde streaks. The change makes me feel good, and it's always fun to update.
If you're looking for a change on the hair front, read what's hot at the moment, via my hairdresser Shelene Shaer of Tanaz. Shelene is a brilliant cutter and colourist, and has her eye on the following winter/spring trends.
Lobs n bobs – lets be blunt
From texturized lobs to disconnected shags it's all about choppy, mid-length, low maintenance styles. New and improved the bob has another incarnation – trendy rock-n-roll, low maintenance this time its slightly shagged, assymetrical and texturized worn with a tousled curl and layers framing the face that can be tied back
Making a comeback – big hair
It's happened the Afro is emerging once again… big, voluptuous, voluminous curly hair is here in all its glory. Big and messy are the catch phrases, this is big in more ways than one for those who don't have natural curl it's time to consider a perm – add a blunt or wedge cut and say yes to frizz.
Fringe benefits
The never-ending popularity of the fringe continues. This season's latest sees a glamorous contrast of a softer fringe offset by long hair, and the edgy pairing of a blunt fringe combined with short cropped styles.
The parting
Definite partings are the real deal, partings are very exact, and must be clean and precise, smoothed down with gel or hairspray. It has to be a solid line. Use clips to soften the look.
Style trial
Half up do's are allowing the ultimate compromise between up styles and down do's. It's the ideal way to contain your hair yet not altogether. You can combine this with another hot trend – braids, giving a combined effect.
Band aid
Headbands or headpieces are the 'it' word in hair accessories, plain or embellished they give the whole look extra charisma and pazazz. Headband mania made its way across the catwalks with a selection of varied materials from minimalistic to embellished and everything in between.
Colour techniques
Stylists are finding new ways to reinvent colour and add dimension.
Whatever your shade, colour for 2016 must not be flat there is always some level of movement whether its sombre, babylights, tortoise or ecaile. Hair strobing is a true leap to the future – highlights are placed where light would naturally hit your hair and are customized to enhance your features with shading created to frame the face and improve your face shape.
The season sees a move away from the cool grey trend to warmer tones that include warm golds, rose golds and peaches, a hot favourite is Ronze – a mixture of copper red, rose blonde and bronze brown less orange tones make way for cooler copper tones.
Who's wearing it? Julianne Moore, Beyonce and Emma Stone. Ronze suits most skin tones the shade can be adjusted to suit your skin tone – warner skin tones need cooler undertones while the reverse is true for cooler skin tones.

But chia seeds as a valuable source of nutrition? Turns out, maybe we should have been spreading those seeds on toast, not on a ceramic "pet" all these years.
Nutritionists say that chia seeds, plucked from a Central American plant called Salvia hispanica, have many beneficial qualities that are making them a trendy choice in the natural supplements aisle.

|WTB [Reset Button] for Unfortunate Loot Issues…
It appears that last night, while I was in bed, there was some Drama in Guild.
In six years I have experienced just about every variety of Drama there is going, including most notably being told by an ex-Guildie and his partner that I was suffering from a serious mental disorder and should be hospitalised because of my judgement. Needless to say, that slice of lunacy ended in tears. It shouldn't have happened, and could have been avoided (with reflection) but with the people involved there was, thinking about it, a measure of inevitability that it did. Some people just attract conflict.
I think we all know someone like that. This post is not about
me them.
In my experience of PuG-ing, both 5 Man and Raid (pre 10/25 lockouts), the mouthy ones are never the real issue. The biggest dramas inevitably result from the people you least expect. Whether it's the lucky stiff who gets an item accidentally Master Looted to them and decides to make a run for it, the individual who chooses to roll on an item that is UTTERLY inappropriate for them but would be an upgrade and reward the 'Epic' achievement, or the up-to-that-point quiet and polite person who loses the roll on an item which he believes should be his/hers by right and then rages in Raid until they are summarily ejected, it's the Purple Loot that drives people crazy only slightly more than blowing the Achievement you ALSO managed to ruin by going afk where you did. Weapons and Trinkets especially remain A Big Deal (especially in Firelands with so many BiS items being BoE drops) and having heard about the particular issue that caused my husband hassle last night I feel it is time to re-iterate something that should be far more common knowledge than it is. Blizzard won't care if your loot is ninja-d, unless you have a set of loot rules that they can look up to prove you were.
It's terribly simple: if you want to make sure you're safe in a PuG, make the Leader state in Raid how any loot will be distributed BEFORE YOU START. Take a screenshot when they do for good measure (unless of course you're in a Raid my husband is running, whose loot rules run to over 25 lines. He'll expect you to link the item you're upgrading before rolling or he'll ignore you. In that case you may need several.) So, should your Raid Leader (or indeed anyone else) pull a fast one, when you ticket Blizzard to complain there is a very good chance you will get your item back if it were taken from you. If you don't, it doesn't matter how much QQ you waste in Trade or anywhere else, you're out of luck. You are the author of your own destiny in these situations. If your Raid Leader refuses to do this, it's time to leave, however good the group might look. If you stay and it all goes Pete Tong, you have only yourself to blame.
With a cross-server LFR Interface being mooted it's becoming more and more essential that you take care before you join any PuG. For the grief it might save you, it's hardly an effort.
Just remember to equip that BoE as soon as you get it. No-one likes a greedy git.

Dr. Zhuang Yuan Ming was born in Shanghai on November 22, 1919. In his early days, he learnt Chinese marital arts from the legendary master and famous doctor Master Wang Ziping.
As part of his training, Dr. Zhuang also trained in the art of "pulling the flag". He would lie on his side, flat on the ground next to a flagpole, gripping the pole and quickly ascend the pole with legs extended out horizontally like a flag. Dr. Zhuang was awarded a gold medal for his performance of "pulling the flag" in the National Sports Performance and Competition Conference in 1953.
Dr. Zhuang underwent schooling and graduated from the Chinese Traditional Medical College in Shanghai. He specialized in traumatology (study of pathology and treatment of injuries) and commenced practice in his Masters clinic where he learnt martial arts as well as worked with patients. He was an expert in setting broken bones and in treating dislocations.
When China nationalized its whole system and banned all private practice, Dr. Zhuang went to work for the Government hospital. He treated 600 to 800 patients everyday with the help of his students and proved to be a doctor par excellence. He achieved tremendous results and taught patients to heal themselves with Lian Gong. This resulted in the Ministry of Health taking up Lian Gong for research with the help of reputed doctors, sportsmen, scientists and professors of medical universities. Based on the report of the health bureau, the government promoted Lian Gong all over China and millions practiced it.
Dr. Zhuang was awarded the scientific award for excellence by the Shanghai Government for his expertise and hard work. Dr. Zhuang was awarded prizes for the researches of Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa, clinical curative effects and experimental observation of Lian Gong.
The Shanghai Municipal Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa Association was set up in 1989 and Dr. Zhuang was the first President. With the spread of Lian Gong worldwide, he was invited several times abroad to lecture, demonstrate, train, popularize and propagate Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa in several countries.

Bloodfang Recolour II
Tier 2 Rogue Lookalike
Armor Type: Leather
Level Req.: 70
Source: BoP boss drops from Outland raids
Availability: Time consuming to farm, but easily done by high level characters
How to get the set:
This copy of the rogue Tier 2 set is rather unique amongst recolours, in the fact that there are actually two outfits sharing the same models and colouration. The majority of the items are from Karazhan, with a few scattered amongst other early-TBC raids, and form a physical dps and a caster set. If you are maximum level, it is advisable to pursue this set as part of a small group, as some of the encounters can still be tough at 85, particularly those outside of Karazhan.
The two recolours are actually incomplete, with the physical dps set lacking bracers, and the caster set lacking a belt and boots. Luckily though, there is at least one recolour of each armor item, so the full look can be obtained. The two sets are seperated below, but of course it doesn't matter how much you mix your outfit between them if you are only interested in appearance.
Physical DPS Recolour
Head – Cowl of Defiance (BoP from Netherspite in Karazhan)
Shoulders – Bladed Shoulderpads of the Merciless (BoP from Dust Covered Chest, following the Chess Event in Karazhan)
Chest – Chestguard of the Conniver (BoP from Nightbane in Karazhan)
Gloves – Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation (BoP from Attumen the Huntsman in Karazhan)
Waist – Gronn-Stitched Girdle (BoP from Gruul the Dragonkiller in Gruul's Lair)
Legs – Skulker's Greaves (BoP from Netherspite in Karazhan)
Feet – Edgewalker Longboots (BoP from Moroes in Karazhan)
Caster Recolour
Head – Cowl of Nature's Breath (BoP from Gruul the Dragonkiller in Gruul's Lair)
Shoulders – Forest Wind Shoulderpads (BoP from The Curator in Karazhan)
Chest – Stonebough Jerkin (BoP from the Nightbane in Karazhan)
Wrists – Grove-Bands of Remulos (BoP from The Lurker Below in Serpentshrine Cavern)
Gloves – Mitts of the Treemender (BoP from Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan)
Legs – Earthsoul Leggings (BoP from any of the bosses in the Opera Event in Karazhan)

Reddit advertising has received a really bad rap online. If you're looking for information online regarding Reddit advertising, you'll easily find complaints from about poor CTR, poor conversion rate and low ROI for businesses. In fact, the general consensus is that Reddit advertising just plain doesn't work, and is the worst idea.
But it's quite unfair to blame the Reddit advertising platform itself for the failure of these campaigns because that failure has nothing to do with the advertising system. Rather, the cause of this failure is down to the advertising strategy used by most advertisers.
The mistake that many marketers make is approaching Reddit advertising in the same way that they approach AdWords, Facebook or LinkedIn advertising. However, that is a fundamental mistake. Reddit is a completely unique platform with its own unique personality. It is unlike any other platform out there for that matter.
Now, if you're a household brand or your product has received massive publicity, then you could probably get away with cold advertising on Reddit. But even then, you'll generate far better results if you're willing to engage in conversations around your product or brand. But the fact is, for most niches, you're going to have to be a lot more strategic with your advertising.
And that is because of the nature of the platform. Self-promotion just doesn't work on any level on Reddit. More than anything, Reddit generally hates anything that makes you seem like you're only using Reddit as a place to promote your products or services, no matter what you're selling. It really doesn't matter whether it is an organic post or paid.
The fact of the matter is that Redditors just don't like obvious, direct marketing or advertising. And that is the main reason why sponsored ads do not perform well on Reddit, not because of the Reddit advertising system itself. Reddit is a conversation-driven platform and any type of content that doesn't encourage discussion or any type of self-promotional content will fall flat. Currently, the vast majority of self-serving advertising campaigns on Reddit don't have any chance of being successful.
Reddit Ads vs Facebook Ads
Now, here's why strategically marketing your business on Reddit could be a better option than any sort of Facebook advertising , especially if you're a small B2B company.
However, certain businesses are always going to do better on Facebook than on Reddit. For example, if you have a unique, highly visual product, you're likely to do well with targeted Facebook ads. Similarly, local bricks and mortar businesses like photographers, restaurants, retail shops or hairdressers tend to perform better with Facebook ads because of the powerful and precise targeting capabilities of the Facebook advertising interface.
The Reddit advertising interface is not on the same level as the Facebook ads manager. You can run sophisticated, precise and targeted campaigns on Facebook that you cannot run on.
But if you're a small B2B company, an online business that sells digital products or you offer things like insurance, finance services and other professional service providers or your target market are young Americans, building a brand on Reddit would be a powerful option for you, and you can generate better results than you would on Facebook, particularly because of the highly targeted nature of subreddits.
Another reason is because of the authentic nature of Reddit. It is a community driven social community where people want to discover content that can add real value to their lives. Redditors want to engage in real conversations around content. If you have a real product or service that can add value to people's lives, Reddit can help you achieve your goals as long as you're willing to be open and transparent. And that is what is so special about Reddit. It really provides a powerful opportunity for most businesses to build strategic relationships with their target audiences around compelling content.
It is important to realize that people are in a completely different mindset on Reddit than when they are on Facebook. Facebook is just not built for that level of intimacy or interaction between businesses and consumers or between businesses. On the other hand, Reddit is a very intimate and personal platform with people that are looking to add value to their lives and solve problems. It is a community-driven platform, and the algorithms work according to the wishes of the community.
On Facebook, you have to setup a campaign to build an audience and then setup another campaign every time you wish to communicate with that audience. On the other hand, Reddit has a readymade community for practically every niche or industry you can think of.
Secondly, there is a fundamental flaw in the way that most people advertise on Facebook.
With Facebook ads, most advertisers target users by their interests. There's nothing wrong with that. However, the problem is in the way that the Facebook algorithm determines those interests.
Let's look at an example:
Say you're marketing a high-end golf coaching course, and you want to market your product to golfers interested in improving their golfing skills. More than anything, you'll want to show your ads to potential buyers of your course, not just golf fans.
Now, take me for instance. I like golf, and golf is one of my likes on Facebook. I also like a lot of golf-related Facebook pages. But I don't play golf.
I'm what you would describe as a casual fan.
Would I join an online community or subreddit about golf? No. I don't play golf, I'm simply a casual fan.
So, am I a potential buyer of your golf course? Of course not.
Yet, the Facebook algorithm would show your ad to me and to hundreds of thousands of casual golf fans like me simply because we like golf and the fact that we have liked a lot of golf related pages.
Now, if it's a really nice and engaging ad, I might like the ad and click it to check out what it's all about. But that's not what you want. You don't want people clicking your ad out of curiosity.
Ultimately, I will never become a customer, and I really shouldn't be seeing your ads.
Instead of targeting casual fans, you should be looking for potential buyers. And that's why many Facebook campaigns can easily generate tons of likes and shares and comments but very few conversions or sales. Because too many casual fans who will never become customers are being shown the ad.
On the other hand, on Reddit, there is a very active, readymade golf community with 150,000 like-minded members.
You don't need to build an audience, because there is already an audience that is passionate about golf that you can market to on Reddit. You are better off joining this community, adding value, building your brand and strategically marketing your golf coaching course to potential buyers in this community. Of course you will have to become a redditor to get traction from the platform, but the fact is you'll generate far better results for a fraction of the amount you'll spend on Reddit ads. And you can apply this concept to virtually any industry on Facebook. Any other industry.
Reddit Targeting Changes
In September 2017, Reddit made some significant changes to the way users are targeted by ads on the platform. Before the change, ad targeting was contextual. This meant that you could restrict the display of your ad to the specific subreddit that is most relevant to your topic. But since September 2017, Reddit changed the targeting to behavioural so that anyone who has visited the subreddit you're advertising to in the past can now see ads from that subreddit.
For example, if you're advertising in r/bigseo, and I have visited that subreddit in the past, I will see your ad everywhere I go on Reddit. In addition, anyone that has visited r/bigseo in the past will able to see that ad in anywhere they go on Reddit. This is similar to the way users are targeted on Facebook and Google.
A concept that is known as remarketing.
Now, this means that more people who may not be interested in your topic can now see your ads depending on what subreddits they have visited in the past. However, this is not the fundamental reason why self-serving ads don't do well on Reddit. For reasons we have already discussed, most self-serving ads on Reddit never had a chance of being successful in the first place. It is also worth noting that the reason Reddit changed the targeting in the first place was because of the low clickthrough rate of ads in their most relevant subreddits.

Los Angeles has records that enable the study of the city's and county's homicide rates from the Mexican period onward. This article analyzes the four decades between 1830 and 1870. Although a sparsely populated region and city, the number and rate of homicides demonstrate levels of personal violence usually associated only with mining towns such as those studied by Roger McGrath. No single factor accounts for this violence, but transiency, weak law enforcement, and an elite tolerance for violence are all implicated.

The Duchess of Northumberland helped to celebrate the very best in community and voluntary environmental work across the county at a special LOVE Northumberland awards event.
Nineteen groups, organisations, schools and individuals were honoured with winner, runner-up or highly commended awards across eight categories.
The award for the Best Children's Project was won by the Josephine Butler Primary Campus for 'Let Your Light Shine' and the Grace Darling Campus won the category for the Best School Recycling Project.
Representatives of all shortlisted entries attended the event at The Alnwick Garden, which was hosted by local historian and TV presenter John Grundy. The annual awards were developed by Northumberland County Council through its LOVE Northumberland campaign, with the aim of promoting the work of the council and its many partner organisations, community groups and volunteers who all help to preserve and enhance the environment in the county.
Councillor Anthony Murray, civic head of Northumberland County Council, welcomed everyone to the awards evening, saying: "All of the shortlisted entries should be very proud of their work and I sincerely hope that they enjoyed this event, in the inspirational setting of The Alnwick Garden.
"The LOVE Northumberland awards are all about celebrating the work that individuals and groups do, largely in a voluntary capacity, to keep their local areas green and clean right across Northumberland day in and day out."
Each winning entry received a £250 prize, each runner-up £100 and highly commended finalists £50, with the money to go towards their project or other work within the local community.
Best School Recycling Project
Rewarding achievements in school recycling and waste minimisation
Winner: Grace Darling Campus of the Northumberland Church of England Academy
Children from Grace Darling Campus have been very busy working on a range of waste minimisation and recycling initiatives for their entry to the Best Recycling project. Following a whole school assembly delivered by Northumberland County Council and workshops in Y3, the school council met and discussed the range of activities and strategies which could be completed around school.
Each member of the school council then completed waste audits around school identifying the main waste items both inside the school and in the school grounds. Findings from this were then shared with the rest of the school and recommendations to minimise waste were made.
Each class from Nursery – Year 6 then completed activities to raise awareness and share information with others to increase the understanding of the learners.
Here's a taster of some of the things Grace Darling Campus have done:
- Nursery read the story Big Bear, Little Bear by David Bedford and Jane Chapman and the children made icebergs and bear caves for bears from recycled materials.
- Recycling stations have been created in the classrooms
- Posters were displayed to encourage less food waste in the school canteen area
- Children have learnt about Earth Day and its meaning and completed personal pledges
- A new area called 'be whatever you want to be' has been created which is completely made of recycled materials.
- The school now use old and unused exercise books at break times in the yard, allowing children the opportunity to draw and colour and minimising the waste caused by old books.
- Following a clear out of the school archives and loft space, unwanted books and resources were donated to the Sri Lankan schools projects.
- Children have completed litter picks within the school grounds and on the paths which lead into school. Some of the children also assisted in the Great British Spring Clean with St. Bartholomew's Church.
Best Children's Project
Winner: Josephine Butler Primary Academy – Let Your Light Shine!
By focussing on the mental and emotional well-being of the children the school have created a number of areas in the school grounds.
The children have built and planted a raised bed in the yard. The bed is planted with herbs and vegetables that parents can help themselves to as they pass. The area also has a lighthouse and deckchair linked to their ethos of 'Let Your Light Shine'.
This is celebrated further in the Primary Drop off zone; the children and parents have worked together to design and make a giant stone representation of the NCEA emblem. Using local stone and learning new skills the area has been cut, and the stone placed and cemented and the school are planting plants and flowers around it in the Academy colours. They are hoping to enhance it with a daffodil island and a primrose path ready for next Spring.
As a community they have also built a new rabbit hutch and pen using recycled materials donated by local families. This houses two rescue rabbits, Luna and Honeycomb. They are used as "reading rabbits" in school and are petted by the children while reading, to alleviate any stress or anxiety related to reading aloud.
The children have raised money to fund these projects by selling artefacts and plants that they have made using recycled materials. They set up a mini enterprise at The Grainger Market in Newcastle and sold items in the school's Christmas Fayre and the Easter Fayre.
By looking at ways to enhance the environment and benefit the community the children are truly letting their Lights Shine in an innovative and creative way.

How is it possible for Canelo Alvarez to ingest contaminated meat in Mexico when his trainers are literally butchers?
"They own meat markets," Abel Sanchez said.
How can Alvarez claim to be upholding Mexico's boxing tradition when he was backpedaling for the most of his draw against Gennady Golovkin last year?
Canelo Alvarez says he spends each night lying in his bed, visualizing how Saturday's middleweight-title bout against Gennady Golovkin will transpire.
He doesn't dwell on the lowest point of his career — his suspension for the use of a performance-enhancing drug earlier this year. Instead he focuses on what could be his defining moment as a fighter.
"I will win without a doubt," Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 knockouts) said Tuesday upon his arrival at the MGM Grand for Saturday's rematch with the unbeaten champion Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) at T-Mobile Arena.
Keep in mind that it's fight week for his most important promotion of the year, but Oscar De La Hoya says he's serious after floating the possibility that he's considering running for president in 2020.
"It's real … that's the beauty of our nation," De La Hoya told a small group of reporters Tuesday at MGM Grand, where he built his substantial sporting reputation in fights against Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
"If Arnold [Schwarzenegger] can be governor, if Trump can be president, then why can't a Mexican American who won an Olympic gold medal, who's over 35 and a U.S. citizen run for president?"
Gennady Golovkin's Saturday night pay-per-view rematch with Canelo Alvarez marks the final fight in Golovkin's current alliance with HBO.
In a climate in which powerful new options have emerged to broadcast and stream high-profile bouts, it will be compelling to see if the middleweight champion turns away from a network that is increasingly turning its back on boxing.
Six years after HBO helped launch Golovkin's rise by televising his U.S. debut in New York, he was irked that HBO seemed unsupportive of his plan to fight a replacement opponent in May after Alvarez was suspended for six months for submitting two positive tests for clenbuterol.
Gennady Golovkin's main focus during Saturday night's rematch with Canelo Alvarez will be on his opponent, but part of him will be thinking about the judges.
Golovkin harbors distrust in the business side of boxing, and much of that is connected to two of the scorecards from his first fight against Alvarez.
Although respected veteran judge Dave Moretti awarded Golovkin a 115-113 score in that September 2017 bout, judge Adalaide Byrd turned in what has become perhaps the most notorious card of the generation, giving Alvarez 10 of the 12 rounds, and judge Don Trella went against both Moretti and Byrd by awarding Alvarez the seventh round in his 114-114 card to blemish Golovkin's otherwise perfect record with a draw.
The consequences of the Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez middleweight title fight Sept. 15 in Las Vegas are immense for each man.
Golovkin, a 36-year-old boxer from Kazakhstan, confided in a recent interview that he views this rematch with his bitter rival from Mexico as his defining bout, pointing to "time" as the leading reason.
"This is the biggest fight of my boxing career because of the time for me … maybe I won't have a bigger chance in the next few years than I have right now," Golovkin said. "He's a huge name, this is a huge situation and I believe whoever wins is the pound-for-pound champion. So much attention, so many sponsors, so many people watching this fight — I like this."
Canelo Alvarez and unbeaten middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin have agreed to a rematch bout Sept. 15 in Las Vegas.
The agreement was struck hours after a deadline that Alvarez's handlers had given Golovkin to accept their offer of 42.5% of the fight's purse. Golovkin originally asked for half, then demanded 45%, but in the end settled for a little less than he wanted — and a little more than Alvarez wanted to give.
Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter, gave credit to Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy Promotions, which manages Alvarez, for coming up with a compromise.
If it weren't already apparent by his 23-fight knockout streak and his record-tying run of middleweight-title victories, there's a cold hardness to Gennady Golovkin's mannerisms.
So when Canelo Alvarez's team asked Golovkin to further reduce the 45% purse cut he'd already agreed to — and to do it by a specific deadline — the icy denial could be felt from the Moscow phone conversation the unbeaten champion hung up from last week.
"I agreed to do 45 because I thought this is exactly how much I was worth," Golovkin told reporters in Los Angeles in his first public comments since his Sept. 15 showdown with Mexico's popular former two-division champion was finalized.
Ultimately, it was about the money. In boxing, it always is.
Or, as Floyd Mayweather Jr. once reminded a television audience, "I'm a prize fighter. That's what I'm supposed to fight for, a prize. Duh."
So, duh, of course Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin will be fighting again.
In Episode 1 on the new Pound for Pound series, follow Los Angeles Times reporter Lance Pugmire as he prepares for the rematch between Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin.
From the controversial suspension for performance-enhancing drugs by Alvarez that postponed the fight last May to Golovkin's concerns over judging, Lance Pugmire takes you behind the scenes of one of the most anticipated rematches of the century.

3 Tech Mistakes That Business Owners Make - and How You Can Avoid Them
Like many entrepreneurs, you might think that you already have all your technology bases covered. After all, you've invested in new computers and printers, bought modern software and downloaded productivity apps for your PC, laptop and smartphone. All of these are great steps to take but, if you'd look closer, you might discover that you're actually making some mistakes when it comes to business technology. Some of these include:
Not having a CRM
When you're still starting out, you might not yet need a customer relationship management (CRM) system since you might be able to count your clients with one hand. However, as your business grows, it would invariably become harder to keep track of your customers' names and addresses and remember your interactions with them. At this point, it becomes advisable to invest in Microsoft CRM 2011 or other versions. You should have a website design that can integrate a CRM into the framework of the site.
Having this type of software can help you store and organise your customer data and track your interaction and communication with them. It also allows you to access this information whenever and wherever you want and easily share it with your staff. It even helps you monitor the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns, make business forecasts and spot potential issues and your processes.
Convinced yet? If you are, don't worry since having your own CRM isn't difficult. Just get in touch with a reputable software development company who specialises in Microsoft CRM 2011, 2013 and 4.0, and they'll help you come up with a system that best fits your needs.
Investing in exceptional software for your business is crucial if you're to be sucsessful in a competitive marketplace. Max Funding Australia - small business loans can be a real lifesaver when it comes down to funding business costs such as a new CRM or website to ensure that you really are ahead of the pack.
Hesitating to get help from experts
Many entrepreneurs don't want to hire professionals when they come across issues with their computers or software, like trying to create their own business logo instead of turning to professionals who specialise in logo design Brisbane for creative assistance. Some of them are scared of the costs this would bring, while others simply don't want to admit that they don't know how to fix their problems. As a result, they end up doing DIY troubleshooting and finding solutions on their own.
However, if you find yourself doing the same things, you have to realise that fixing IT problems by yourself won't do your business any good. For one thing, it can lead to costly errors, which will force you to spend even more money to rectify these mistakes. It can also cause you to waste lots of time, which you could have otherwise spent on growing your venture.
So, whenever you encounter problems with your IT systems, don't hesitate to seek assistance from experts. If you're based in the Australian Capital Territory, for instance, you can call us here at Canberra Computer Solutions and take advantage of our professional solutions. We offer a wide range of services such as computer repairs, virus removals, and data recovery, and we can help you in installing new hardware and upgrading your system. So, the only thing you should do is to sit back and watch as we bring your IT infrastructure back to life and improve its performance.
Forgetting to back up your data
Storing and organising your data is important, but backing them up is even more crucial. This way, you'll avoid losing essential documents if ever your computers or server would become damaged by floods, fires or other natural disasters or get destroyed due to human error.
There are several things you can do to protect your data. One of these is to copy your info to storage tapes or external hard disk drives, which you can then either bring home or store in a safe-deposit box. You can also get the services of an experienced and established cloud storage solutions provider, who'll help you store your backups in an off-site location and keep them safe at all times.
Take note of these tech mistakes and make sure to stay away from them.

Discussion on Human Response to Dynamic Motion of Structures by A.W. Irwin
Mr. Peter Mason (Past President): The subject of this paper is, of course, fascinating-experiences that we have all had, but that we do not normally attempt to analyse or put into graph form. In Table 3 the author shows relative accelerations for different sets of circumstances. Particularly interesting to me were those for earthquakes-something like 45 m/s to the power 2-and those for a fairground machine, which were also up to 45 m/s to the power 2. Yet the human reaction to these experiences was completely different-the reaction to one being horror and, to the other, pleasure. I wonder what is the mechanistic explanation. Is there a factor in the earthquake motion additional to that of the machine? Is there, indeed, some factor of which we are unaware (or possibly do not recognise) that is additional to the normal accelerations and movements that can be measured in three dimensions? Or do these reactions differ so widely because of the psychological pressures of being in a red danger situation as compared with being in a simulated one-even though (or perhaps because of the fact that) the simulated situation often does contain an element of real danger?

epioneMemberTopics: 4Replies: 24
I started using Kefir now and have used both organic cow milk 1.5% and non-organic cow milk 0.6% fat c. 500ml with a tablespoon of Kefir grains.
The problem I experience is that the Kefir never makes the milk smoothy/creamy, it just strictly seperates it in curd and whey but the milk/Kefir not turned in curd or whey remains completely watery. I have checked it every few hours and I'm now doing the 2nd batch now with the same result. What am I doing wrong? I would like to have a creamy Kefir not curd/whey or cheese. I thought about to just seperate the grains and properly mix curd and whey back together, but not sure if this is the way you do it?
Is there actually a way to get the grains grow back together? I ordered mine and they are mostly just all over the place which results in time-consuming fishing as I dont have a plastic strainer.
Also does anyone know how long it will take for the grains to grow substantially, eg. to have another tablespoon of them?
And out of interest, how often do you wash your milk grains with water? I have read online everything from after each batch to never (due to chlor).

soonMemberTopics: 3Replies: 27
Try using full fat milk.If there is a bunch of whey then you may have fermented it too long. Get it into another jar (minus the grains) as soon as you see the whey forming. Then let it ferment without the grains for a day. Stir it up and voila…
The grains will separate or clump and it really doesn't matter. Works the same either way.
Mine took about 2 weeks to start growing noticeably. After that they started growing much faster. Fresh milk every 24 hours helps.
You don't have to wash them very often at all. Maybe every 5 months or so but it isn't strictly necessary. Don't use tap water though. It won't kill them but it aint good for them.
Experiment with it too. They're very resilient so don't be shy.July 9, 2012 at 2:16 am #86412
Candida HubMemberTopics: 0Replies: 24
Hi epione,
What temperature are you leaving your kefir in? Room temperature (23°C or 73 °F) is best; any colder and the process will slow, any warmer and the process may go too fast.
Hope this helps.July 22, 2012 at 2:58 pm #87377
FranzFanMemberTopics: 18Replies: 14
Excuse me for hijacking this thread, but I wondered whether anyone could say whether it is ok to drink kefir whey (as opposed to the smooth and creamy milk kefir)? I'm not sure if this is just basically alcohol and so contains sugars, or not? Thanks…

Duodart Bronchospasm Causes and Reviews
When you breathe in, the air travels down through your trachea (windpipe). It then goes through two tubes to your lungs. These tubes are your bronchi. Bronchial disorders can make it hard for you to breathe.
The most common problem with the bronchi is bronchitis, an inflammation of the tubes. It can be acute or chronic. Other problems include
- Bronchiectasis - a condition in which damage to the airways causes them to widen and become flabby and scarred
- Exercise-induced Bronchospasm - a breathing problem that happens when your airways shrink while you are exercising
- Bronchiolitis - an inflammation of the small airways that branch off from the bronchi
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia - a chronic lung condition in infants, most often premature infants
Duodart Bronchospasm Reviews
|Mon, 18 Nov 2013
I used Duodart for a painful prostate which I have had on and off for 20 years. I took this medication for approx 4.5 months. Duodart was successful in stopping the pain for which I am thankful, but I had two side effects that I am not happy with.
