Losers need heroes. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is, himself, no loser. He was born the scion of a label empire and slid into political life on greased skids. He never wanted for anything, or had to work particularly hard to get where he is. But oh what he has accomplished with the gift of noble birth!
From the start, the story that Rob Ford has become threatened to get very dark, very fast. (And it will get dark, when Ford drinks and drugs himself into the hospital or worse, or when he attacks his wife again, or when his young children begin to show signs of the damage their father has done to them.) But for more than six months, Ford has managed to wrestle his tale of drugs, rock-bottom humiliation, and public urination out of Permanent Midnight territory and into the realm of some glorious madcap comedy—Cheech and Chong meets The Candidate. He's Prince Hal and Falstaff rolled into one, and at each step of his highwire act—from his opening gambit of transparent word games to bragging about how much pussy he eats—he's chosen farce over tragedy.
And so he is a hero to losers everywhere. Find no shame in your failures. Don't hide your weaknesses. March out onto the world stage and proclaim them. Wallow in your foul, broken humanity. Wake up every morning and devise new ways to confound and enrage your critics. Lean into their condescension. Eat their contempt. Exit laughing. Or don't exit at all.
More Gawker heroes: Ken Layne on Pope Francis, Hamilton Nolan on Subway Brie Man, Cord Jefferson on Vanessa Van Dyke, Rich Juzwiak on Kanye West, Camille Dodero on Antoinette Tuff, J.K. Trotter on Erik Wemple, Adam Weinstein on Alice Munro, Taylor Berman on Anthony Graves, Beejoli Shah on Shia LeBeouf, Caity Weaver on Beyoncé Selfie Perfect Teen, Sam Biddle on Josh Tetrick, Lacey Donohue on Wendy Davis, Tom Scocca on Ai Weiwei, and Max Read on @Dril.

Omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduced or eliminated symptoms of major depression in children, according to results from a new study.
Doctors from the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, noted that previous studies showed positive effects of omega-3s on adult depression, but that there were no studies of the effects of omega-3s on childhood depression. Researchers recruited 28 children with major depression between the ages of 6 and 12 and randomly assigned omega-3 fatty acids—an over-the-counter combination of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—or a placebo for 16 weeks.
Twenty of the children remained in the study for at least one month and doctors measured symptoms of depression at the beginning of the study and at two, four, eight, 12 and 16 weeks. The symptom tests included interviews with parents and teachers, reports by the children themselves and evaluations by clinicians. According to results from the parent-teacher interviews, seven out of 10 of the children in the omega-3 group had 50% fewer symptoms, including four of the children who went into complete remission. There were no changes in depression scores for children who took the placebo as reported by the parent-teacher interviews.
The children who took omega-3s also reported significantly fewer symptoms themselves, as did clinicians who interviewed the children. Children who had taken the placebo did not report feeling any better, nor did clinicians find that symptoms improved in this group. The doctors also observed no relevant side effects and the children reported no side effects.
Previous studies have shown that omega-3s reduced learning difficulties, behavioral problems and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Several studies have shown that those with depression have reduced blood flow to the brain and doctors believe that omega-3s increase this blood flow.

During the broadcast, host Sherri Shepherd and guest host D.L. Hughley perpetuated dangerous myths about African American gay and bisexual men, blaming them for increased HIV rates among African American women, despite evidence to the contrary from the Centers for Disease Control. You can read more about our Call to Action here. Following our Call to Action, ABC heard from thousands of people urging hosts of "The View" to issue an on-air apology and correct the misinformation they elevated on the program. But the show still refuses to address this problem. "ABC now knows that it put out dangerous and false information about HIV/AIDS on its airwaves, yet the network still refuses to take responsibility," said Rashad Robinson, GLAAD's Senior Director of Programs. "ABC and 'The View's' refusal to correct Shepherd and Hughley's inaccurate and harmful remarks comes at the expense of the millions of audience members who deserve better and a public at large that needs media to take this issue seriously."

Sean Connery has tennis fever! Yesterday, Andy Murray broke Great Britain's 76-year drought with a US Open win over Novak Djokovic in a finals match that lasted a record four hours and 54 minutes. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Hey, why are you talking about tennis, homo?"
Haha, sorry, bros! It's only because Sean Connery was there. He may be retired from acting (no word on whether he still stars in his wife's paintings), but that just gives him more time to spend supporting his fellow Scots, like Andy Murray. "THAT'CH RIGHT, ANDY! SHOW THISH DIRTY SHLAV HOW WE DO IT IN GLASZHGOW! PISH OFF, DJOKO! YER MOTHER'SH A GYPSHY!"
Do I have a gif of Sean Connery fist-pumping like a champ? Of COURSE I do. This could be my finest work:

@SEA (think "at sea") is a new monthly series, to be convened Sunday early afternoons, under the aegis of the PRB. With @SEA we look to move beyond single-channel readings of texts toward interdisciplinary programs that bring various artistic and intellectual practices into adjacency and conversation. A typical afternoon may include a combination of video or film projection, poetry readings, performance, and unconventional lectures.
Additionally, each @SEA program will cluster around a one-word theme that serves as a loose anchor to gather attentions back to a common point of departure. These themes will sometimes be repeated across programs, and sometimes not, and will serve as much as anything to spur the programmers to find interesting combinations of topics, artists, thinkers and makers.
@SEA will be programmed by Rebecca Baron, Andrew Maxwell and Daniel Tiffany. The first afternoon event will be October 4th at 1pm, and the inaugural theme is: INCOMPLETION.

A new Medicare cost-cutting entity, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), is facing strong, bipartisan opposition in the House.
Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted Monday to approve an IPAB killer bill – H.R. 452, the Medicare Decisions Accountability Act bill — by a voice vote, without any recorded opposition.
Earlier, Democrats on the committee's health subcommittee could get only 5 of the 11 Democrats on the subcommittee to vote against H.R. 452: 4 Democrats were absent during the subcommittee vote, and 2 crossed party lines to vote against the bill.
The House Ways and Means health subcommittee today brought two witnesses from groups that generally are supportive of the goals of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) to testify in opposition to IPAB.
One of the witnesses testifying against IPAB was Katherine Beh Neas, a senior vice president at Easter Seals, Washington.
"The IPAB is not designed to be an instrument of delivery reform or to improve the quality of care," Neas said, according to a written version of her testimony posted by the Ways and Means committee. "The charge for this board is to reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending. For people with disabilities and chronic conditions, it is through better coordination and provision of quality care that real changes in health status can be achieved, not in the reduction of spending per person."
IPAB supporters argue that opposition to the board is so strong mainly because few people, including health care providers, want to see their pay cut.
Marilyn Moon, a senior vice president at the American Institutes for Research, Washington, argued that, if IPAB or some other entity fails to take charge of limiting the rates Medicare providers can charge, then the burden for negotiating for lower rates will fall mainly on elderly, sick patients who may have little ability to make bargains, or even to make active, informed decisions about their care.
"There is no strong evidence that markets work to discipline the costs of health care, so we have no reason to be optimistic that they will indeed be able to hold down cost growth over time," Moon said.
Congress included the IPAB provision in PPACA in an effort to create a body that would have the independence and freedom from lobbying to hold down the prices Medicare pays for care.
Because the IPAB provision includes exemptions for hospitals, hospices and other institutional providers, IPAB effectively has the authority only to change the rates Medicare pays to doctors and other individuals who provide care, Neas said.
Although IPAB has the direct ability to affect only the rates that Medicare pays, IPAB could have an indirect on private payers, because private insurers often base their provider reimbursement rates at least partly on Medicare rates.
The PPACA IPAB provisions calls for the rate cut recommendations made by the 15-member board to take effect unless Congress passes legislation that achieves the same amount of savings.
Once the IPAB recommendations take effect, they are supposed to be exempt from either administrative review or judicial review. IPAB does not have to solicit public comments or hold hearings before or after making rate recommendations.
Dr. David Penson, a Nashville, Tenn., urologist who testified on behalf of the American Urological Association (AUA), Linthicum, Md., noted that IPAB members cannot be directly involved in providing or managing the delivery of Medicare services, or engage in any other business, vocation or employment.
"The explicit exclusion of providers who treat the very patients IPAB's recommendations will impact is more than inappropriate," Penson said. "The AUA views this as negligent."
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Washington, acknowledged that the PPACA IPAB provision prohibits IPAB from limiting access to benefits.
In spite of that provision, IPAB's "activities are going to inevitably affect patients' access to care," Gottlieb said. "For practical purposes, IPAB has been given the authority to legislate."
In addition, the limits on who can serve on IPAB ensures that most members will be academics, Gottlieb said.
"It's a flawed premise to believe that we will get a better result by sidestepping an open, vigorous policy debate about how we price and cover services under Medicare," Gottlieb said.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: A "most promising lead" in search area
PERTH, Australia -- U.S. Navy equipment has picked up signals consistent with the pings from aircraft black boxes, an Australian search official said Monday, describing the discovery as "a most promising lead" in the month-long hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search in the southern Indian Ocean, called it "very encouraging" but warned it may take days to confirm whether signals picked up by the ship Ocean Shield are indeed from the flight recorders on Flight 370.
"Clearly, this is a most promising lead, and probably in the search so far, it's the probably the best information that we have had," Houston said at a news conference.
The Australian navy's Ocean Shield, which is carrying high-tech sound detectors from the U.S. Navy, picked up two separate signals within a remote patch of the Indian Ocean far off the west Australian coast that search crews have been crisscrossing for weeks. The first signal lasted two hours and 20 minutes before it was lost. The ship then turned around and picked up a signal again - this time recording two distinct "pinger returns" that lasted 13 minutes, Houston said.
"Significantly, this would be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder," Houston said.
He said the position of the noise needs to be further refined, and then an underwater autonomous vehicle can be sent in to investigate.
"It could take some days before the information is available to establish whether these detections can be confirmed as being from MH370," Houston said. "In very deep oceanic water, nothing happens fast."
The Ocean Shield was continuing to comb the area to try pick up the signals again, Houston said.
After a month-long hunt for answers filled with dead ends, Monday's news brought fresh hope. The two black boxes, which contain flight data and cockpit voice recordings, are the key to unraveling exactly what happened to Flight 370 and why.
Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammudin Hussein told reporters that in light of the new information, "We are cautiously hopeful that there will be a positive development in the next few days, if not hours."
But there is little time left to find the devices, which contain critical flight data and cockpit voice recordings that could help investigators unravel exactly what happened on board Flight 370. The devices have beacons that emit "pings" so they can be more easily found, but the beacons' batteries last only about a month. Tuesday marks exactly one month since the plane disappeared.
The plane vanished March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board, setting off an international search that started off Vietnam and then shifted to the southern Indian Ocean as information from radar and satellite data was refined.
The length of the search and lack of any information on the cause of the plane to go so far off course has transfixed the world.
If the Ocean Shield manages to pick up the signal again, the crew will launch a Bluefin-21 autonomous sub that can dive to about 14,800 feet, and scan for wreckage. Given the fact that the sea floor in the area is approximately that deep - and even deeper in some spots - the sub will be operating to the limits of its capability, Houston said.
Houston cautioned that it was too early to say the transmissions were coming from the black boxes on the missing passenger jet.
Meanwhile, officials were trying to determine whether two separate sounds heard by a Chinese ship about 345 miles away from the Ocean Shield were related to the plane. The patrol vessel Haixun 01 first detected a brief "pulse signal" on Friday at the same frequency used by the airliner's black boxes. The ship detected a second signal on Saturday within 1.4 miles of the original signal, this one lasting for 90 seconds. Houston said China also reported seeing floating white objects in the area.
A British navy ship, the HMS Echo, with sophisticated sound-locating equipment, arrived Monday in the area where the Chinese ship picked up signals.
The crew of the Chinese ship reportedly picked up the signals using a sonar device called a hydrophone dangled over the side of a small boat - something experts said was technically possible but extremely unlikely. The equipment aboard the British and Australian ships is dragged slowly behind each vessel over long distances and is considered far more sophisticated.

Web interfaces – exposed as JavaScript objects – are generally specified in Web IDL (Interface Definition Language), a declarative language (sometimes written without the space as WebIDL). This is the language used in standard specifications, and Blink uses IDL files to specify the interface and generate JavaScript bindings (formally, C++ code that the V8 JavaScript virtual machine uses to call Blink itself). Web IDL in Blink is close to the standard, and the resulting bindings use standard conventions to call Blink code, but there are additional features to specify implementation details, primarily Blink IDL extended attributes.
To implement a new Web IDL interface in Blink:
See Blink IDL: Style for style guide.
IDL files contain two types of data:
Note that if Blink behavior differs from the spec, the Blink IDL file should reflect Blink behavior. This makes interface differences visible, rather than hiding them in the C++ implementation or bindings generator.
Also as a rule, nop data should not be included: if Blink (bindings generator) ignores an IDL keyword or extended attribute, do not include it, as it suggests a difference in behavior when there is none. If this results in a difference from the spec, this is good, as it makes the difference in behavior visible.
Initially you likely want to comment out all attributes and operations, uncommenting them as you implement them.
Nulls and non-finite numbers
Two points to be careful of, and which are often incorrect in specs, particularly older specs, are nullability and non-finite values (infinities and NaN). These are both to ensure correct type checking. If these are incorrect in the spec – for example, a prose specifying behavior on non-finite values, but the IDL not reflecting this – please file a spec bug upstream, and link to it in the IDL file.
If null values are valid (for attributes, argument types, or method return values), the type MUST be marked with a ? to indicate nullable, as in
attribute Foo? foo;
Note that for arguments (but not attributes or method return values), optional is preferred to nullable (see Re: removeEventListener with only one passed parameter...).
Similarly, IEEE floating point allows non-finite numbers (infinities and NaN); if these are valid, the floating point type –
float or
double – MUST be marked as
unrestricted as in
unrestricted float or
unrestricted double – the bare
float or
double means finite floating point.
Union types
Many older specs use overloading when a union type argument would be clearer. Please match spec, but file a spec bug for these and link to it. For example:
// FIXME: should be void bar((long or Foo) foo); https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=123
void bar(long foo);
void bar(Foo foo);
Also, beware that you can't have multiple nullable arguments in the distinguishing position in an overload, as these are not distinguishing (what does
null resolve to?). This is best resolved by using a union type if possible; otherwise make sure to mark only one overload as having a nullable argument in that position.
Don't do this:
void zork(Foo? x);
void zork(Bar? x); // What does zork(null) resolve to?
Instead do this:
void zork(Foo? x);
void zork(Bar x);
...but preferably this:
void zork((Foo or Bar)? x);
Extended attributes
You will often need to add Blink-specific extended attributes to specify implementation details.
Please comment extended attributes – why do you need special behavior?
See Web IDL in Blink.
Bindings code assumes that a C++ class exists, with methods for each attribute or operation (with some exceptions). Attributes are implemented as properties, meaning that while in the JavaScript interface these are read and written as attributes, in C++ these are read and written by getter and setter methods.
For cases where an IDL attribute reflects a content attribute, you do not need to write boilerplate methods to call
getAttribute() and
setAttribute(). Instead, use the
[Reflect] extended attribute, and these calls will automatically be generated inline in the bindings code, with optimizations in some cases. However, if you wish to access these attributes from C++ code (say in another class), not just from JavaScript, you will need to write a getter and/or a setter, as necessary.
The class and methods have default names, which can be overridden by the
[ImplementedAs] extended attribute; this is strongly discouraged, and method names should align with the spec unless there is very good reason for them to differ (this is sometimes necessary when there is a conflict, say when inheriting another interface).
Given an IDL file Foo.idl:
interface Foo {
attribute long a;
attribute DOMString cssText;
void f();
void f(long arg);
void g(optional long arg);
...a minimal header file Foo.h illustrating this is:
class Foo {
int a();
void setA(int);
String cssText();
void setCSSText(const String&);
void f();
void f(int);
void g();
void g(int);
// Alternatively, can use default arguments:
// void f(int arg=0);
Type information ("ScriptWrappable")
Blink does not use C++ run-time type information (RTTI), and thus the type information must be stored separately.
There are various ways this is done, most simply (for Blink developers) by the C++ class inheriting
ScriptWrappable and placing
DEFINE_WRAPPERTYPEINFO in the class declaration. Stylistically
ScriptWrappable should be the last class, or at least after more interesting classes, and should be directly inherited by the class (not indirectly from a more distant ancestor).
#ifndef Foo_h
#define Foo_h
#include "bindings/v8/ScriptWrappable.h"
namespace WebCore {
class Foo FINAL : /* maybe others */ public ScriptWrappable {
// ...
} // namespace WebCore
#endif Foo_h
In case of C++ inheritance, it's preferable to avoid inheriting ScriptWrappable indirectly, most simply because this creates overhead on a redundant write. In many cases this can be avoided by having an abstract base class that both concrete classes inherit. Stylistically, FIXME
However, in some cases – notably if both a base class and a derived class implement JS interface types (say, if there is IDL inheritance and the C++ inheritance is the same) – you will need to call
ScriptWrappable::init both in the base class and the derived class.
Thus, to avoid this:
class Foo FINAL : public Bar, public ScriptWrappable { /* ... */ };
class Bar : public ScriptWrappable { /* ... */ };
...instead use an abstract base class, and have both concrete classes inherit
ScriptWrappable directly:
class Foo FINAL : public FooBarBase, public ScriptWrappable { /* ... */ };
class Bar FINAL : public FooBarBase, public ScriptWrappable { /* ... */ };
class FooBarBase { /* ... */ };
History (ScriptWrappable)
Garbage Collection
You need to list the
.idl file and
.h/.cpp files in the correct GN variable so that they will be built (bindings generated, Blink code compiled.) IDL files to be processed are listed in .gni (GN Include) files. For core files, this is core_idl_files.gni.
There are 3 dichotomies in these
.idl files, which affect where you list them in the build:
For core interfaces, the IDL files are listed in the
core_idl_files variable or in the
core_dependency_idl_files variable, if the IDL file is a partial interface or the target (right side of) an
implements statement. This distinction is because partial interfaces and implemented interfaces do not have their own bindings generated, so these IDL files are not directly compiled.
Testing files are listed in the
core_testing_idl_files variable instead; there are currently no core testing dependency files.
The C++ files should be listed in the
core_files variable or an appropriate
core_*_files variable, depending on directory, or
core_testing_files if a testing interface.
Modules files are analogous, and placed in modules_idl_files.gni. There are currently no modules testing interface files, but there are modules testing dependency files, which are listed in
modules_dependency_idl_files and
Make sure to test:
There are three mechanisms for subtyping in IDL:
The corresponding C++ implementations are as follows, here illustrated for
attribute T foo;
IDL files SHOULD agree with spec, and almost always MUST do so. It is not ok to change the kind of subtyping or move members between interfaces, and violations SHOULD or MUST be fixed:
Technical details
While members of an interface definition, members of implemented interface, and members of partial interfaces are identical for JavaScript, partial interface members – and members of certain implemented interfaces, namely those with the
[TreatAsPartial] extended attribute – are treated differently internally in Blink (see below).
Inheritance and implements are both interface inheritance. JavaScript has single inheritance, and IDL inheritance corresponds to JavaScript inheritance, while IDL
implements provides multiple inheritance in IDL, which does not correspond to inheritance in JavaScript.
In both cases, by spec, members of the inherited or implemented interface must be implemented on the JavaScript object implementing the interface. Concretely, members of inherited interfaces are implemented as properties on the prototype object of the parent interface, while members of implemented interfaces are implemented as properties of the implementing interface.
In C++, members of an interface definition and members of implemented interfaces are implemented on the C++ object (referred to as the parameter or variable
impl) implementing the JavaScript object. Specifically this is done in the Blink class corresponding to the IDL interface or a base class – the C++ hierarchy is invisible to both JavaScript and the bindings.
Implementation-wise, inheritance and implements differ in two ways:
If (IDL) interface A inherits from interface B, then usually (C++) class A inherits from class B, meaning that:
interface A : B { /* ... */ };
class A : B { /* ... */ };
class A : C { /* ... */ };
class C : B { /* ... */ };
However, the bindings are agnostic about this, and simply set the prototype in the wrapper object to be the inherited interface (concretely, sets the parentClass attribute in the WrapperTypeInfo of the class's bindings). Dispatch is thus done in JavaScript.
"A implements B;"
should mean that members declared in (IDL) interface B
are members of (C++) classes implementing A.
Partial interfaces formally are type extension (external type extension, since specified in a separate place from the original definition), and in principle are simply part of the interface, just defined separately, as a convenience for spec authors. However in practice, members of partial interfaces are not assumed to be implemented on the C++ object (
impl), and are not defined in the Blink class implementing the interface. Instead, they are implemented as static members of a separate class, which take
impl as their first argument. This is done because in practice, partial interfaces are type extensions, which often only used in subtypes or are deactivated (via conditionals or as runtime enabled features), and we do not want to bloat the main Blink class to include these.
Further, in some cases we must use type extension (static methods) for implemented interfaces as well. This is due to componentization in Blink (see Browser Components), currently
core versus
modules. Code in
core cannot inherit from code in
modules, and thus if an interface in
core implements an interface in
modules, this must be implemented via type extension (static methods in
modules). This is an exceptional case, and indicates that Blink's internal layering (componentization) disagrees with the layering implied by the IDL specs, and formally should be resolved by moving the relevant interface from
modules to
core. This is not always possible or desirable (for internal implementation reasons), and thus static methods can be specified via the
[TreatAsPartial] extended attribute on the implemented interface.
Inheritance and code reuse
IDL has single inheritance, which maps directly to JavaScript inheritance (prototype chain). C++ has multiple inheritance, and the two hierarchies need not be related.
FIXME: There are issues if a C++ class inherits from another C++ class that implements an IDL interface, as .
IDL has 3 mechanisms for combining interfaces:
Sharing code with a legacy interface (unprefixing)
Changing inheritance → implements
Converting a parent to the target of an implements

News Summary: German real estate booms
BUYING BOOM: Home prices in Germany's largest cities are booming. Building permits and home ownership rates are climbing fast. And the percentage of foreigners snapping up second homes in Germany is on the rise.
CRISIS FALLOUT: The real estate fervor is a consequence of the European debt crisis. Low interest rates have pushed down homebuyers' costs and inflation fears have driven many to real estate as a safe haven for their savings.
NO BUBBLE: Experts downplay the chances of a real-estate bubble like those seen in the U.S., Ireland or Spain. Borrowing in Germany is more heavily regulated.

One of the parameters of the Station's orbit around the Earth is the beta angle, which determines the direction from which the Sun's rays will hit us. We don't usually bother too much about this parameter because it doesn't affect our day-to-day life, except in certain situations: when the beta angle is very elevated, as it has been these past few days, we spend long periods in sunlight. Daytime becomes relatively long, while the nights are very short. This makes it difficult for us to look out of the Station and see our planet at night, because the Earth is in shadow while we are still in the light. As a consequence, it is pitch black outside. It's like looking out of the window at night when you have the lights on in the room and there's not one streetlight lit outside.
Lately, after making the final evening report to Houston and the other Control Centres, I've got myself all prepared to take a few photos but found that nothing was visible in the sky. We've been travelling immersed in completely black space.
That's when I thought about using one of the pieces of equipment in the European laboratory Columbus, an instrument that is sometimes a little neglected by us astronauts: the amateur radio set. Now, I must confess to all amateur radio enthusiasts out there that I have never been into amateur radio. As a military pilot, I was trained to use the radio professionally, following the mantra of the 4Cs – Clear, Correct, Concise Comms [Communications], which was repeated at the start of every mission. It was radio contact seen as a means, never an end unto itself. In fact, sometimes when we flew very complex missions, the interference caused by blissfully unaware radio enthusiasts 'exploring' our frequencies inevitably led to a great deal of bad tempered frustration!
So you can imagine my doubtful amusement when, a few weeks ago, I sat at the radio for the first time, looking to establish some kind of 'contact' between the Station and Earth…
I set the radio to the 'random' contacts frequency, and without knowing what to expect, I put on the headphones. Physically, the International Space Station was still many kilometres away from the coastlines of Europe, but our horizon stretches out beneath us for thousands of kilometres and the various European ground stations could already see us. My ears were immediately overwhelmed by a cacophony of unidentifiable sounds and noises, voices, screeching and white noise. Then suddenly, a voice surfaced above the other sounds; it was a young man, in my mind barely more than a boy. He was calling the ISS American radio call sign (NA1SS) and repeating his own call sign. I was taken aback by the emotion that rose in me as I tried to reply to the call, using the Italian call sign (IR0ISS). But my excitement was nothing compared to the sheer astonishment and disbelief I heard in that voice, thousands of kilometres away. Speaking English with a beautiful Portuguese accent, the radio operator on the other side of the signal only managed to say a few words – "I don't know what to say… This is a dream come true for me!" – before our conversation was interrupted and buried by swarms of other calls.
For around 15 minutes as we passed over western, central and eastern Europe, I tried to reply to dozens of people who were sending their messages into the ether with the hope that, thousands of kilometres away, the Space Station antennae would pick up their signal and that I'd be able to decipher what they were saying. From different countries, through different radio sets, but all with the same desire, these people – up until moments ago complete strangers – started to take shape in my mind. They became members of one family, scattered over thousands of islands and in contact with each other through nothing but these 'messages in a bottle', sent out with no certainty at all but with the faint hope that somebody somewhere would pick them up. Messages sent out with stoical patience, without even knowing who in that infinitely vast ocean of ether would be able to listen to their call. Men, women, young and old, experts and complete beginners – they have all wrapped me in a warm blanket of friendship and gratitude, oblivious to the fact that I'm the one who should be thanking them for opening up the doors to an experience that began with that young man in Portugal, and that crossing space and time, reaches the heart of each and every amateur radio operator even before it reaches their ears.

L.A.'s Pizza Wars: Joe's vs. Vito's
Pizza wars, once confined to New York, now rage in Los Angeles. New York's dough-slinging gladiators, DeMarco, Grimaldi, and Mangieri, have their counterparts here in Joe and Vito, of their own respective eponymous pizzerias.
L.A. food bloggers, like their New York brethren, get rather emotional over pizza, which strikes me as odd since I've yet to taste pizza in L.A. (except for Mozza) worth getting especially excited about. Nevertheless, on the web locally, and on Slice, pizza freaks have slammed Joe's for uncharred crust, insipid sauce, and unhelpful and discourteous service. One gourmand opined that Vito's "is genius ... everything Joe's is not ... the best in L.A. (tied with Mozza)."
The claim that Vito's is tied with Mozza as the best pizza in Los Angeles, of course, is insanity. And I will admit that, though my first few pies at Joe's, made by Joe Vitale himself, brought joy and contentment to my gastrointestinal system, the quality definitely must now be considered, at best, inconsistent. So, given some of the raves about Vito's, an investigation was in order.
I drove down to West Hollywood one sunny afternoon with a friend, found a metered parking space on the same block (no small feat), and entered the "snug" pizzeria, only to be confronted by a ginourmous photograph of a pizzaiolo (later confirmed as Vito), staring down at me. While Vito himself was absent, his gregarious and charming cousin, Antonio, generously shared quite a bit of information about the pizzeria he helps run.
Unfortunately, no information was forthcoming regarding the ingredients that go into the pizza. In fact, when I asked Antonio for some info on the cheese and sauce, he smiled and said, "If I tell ya, I'll have to kill ya." Ha, ha. Funny, but not helpful.
He did inform me, though, that Vito's aunt in New Jersey made the yeast herself from an old recipe and that it was driven out to Los Angeles as a good luck present for her nephew and his pizzeria. Cousin Antonio also volunteered that Vito's uncle Chiriago cut the stones for the oven in Italy himself. Quite the family affair.
The first pie we ordered, half Margherita, half sausage, although somewhat disturbing, pleasantly surprised me. As the photograph above reveals, the crust had very nice hole structure, was reasonably crisp and chewy (it could be folded without cracking), but lacked sufficient charring. Nevertheless, for L.A., the crust exceeded my expectations. Fresh mozzarella was not an option, but for standard cheese, and for L.A., the mozz was more than acceptable. The same held true for the sauce. No San Marzanos but still tangy. Not too sweet, not too spicy.
However, the inclusion of fresh, chopped tomato on the pie offended both my eyes and taste buds. It was removed easily enough, but it undoubtedly earned a demerit in my book. On the other hand, the sausage outclassed the meat that graces Joe's sausage pies, although neither equaled the homemade quality adorning true, blue-ribbon pizza like those created by Chris Bianco, Anthony Mangieri, and Nancy Silverton.
The second pie, half meatball and jalapeño, half white with pesto, also elicited ambivalent feelings. The meatballs and jalapeños had completely soaked through the crust, leaving half the pie soggy and limp as an old celery stalk. Except for picking a few pieces of meat off the top, it was inedible. In contrast, the white pie was good. The pesto tasted fresh, herbal, and garlicky, yet not overwhelming, and the cheese, with light dollops of ricotta topping the mozz, was supported by a nicely crisp and chewy crust.
On the basis of this visit, and for L.A. (there goes that qualifier again), Vito's rates near the top. While the pizza is on the pricey side ($28.50 for the pesto pie), it and the Margherita, sans fresh tomato, deserve a return visit. On the other hand, Joe's recent and unfortunate slide into inconsistency must be disheartening to all those who hoped that excellent pizza had finally come to L.A.
The bottom line: Vito's, despite its shortcomings, makes some of the best pizza in L.A.

Gardy goes with the numbers against Sabathia
NEW YORK -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire knows his team is typically better off when the opposing starter isn't a left-hander -- especially when that lefty is Yankees ace CC Sabathia.
After all, the Twins -- led by left-handed sluggers Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau -- hadn't defeated Sabathia since July 29, 2007, entering play Sunday. In 12 starts against the Twins before Sunday's first-half finale -- including the postseason -- the Yankees' southpaw went 11-0 with a 2.01 ERA.
"He's a horse," Gardenhire said. "We put anyone in there today that has any numbers against him. We are a left-handed-hitting team, so that makes it a little tougher for us. Our big guys are the big lefties and they don't have good numbers on him -- and you don't say that about Mauer and Morneau too often."
Morneau entered play just a .128 (6-for-47) lifetime hitter with one home run compared to 10 strikeouts against Sabathia. As for Mauer, the Twins catcher came in having struck out more times against Sabathia (17) than any other big league pitcher. He had also been limited to a .178 (8-for-45) career average while failing to homer against the former Cy Young Award winner.
Minnesota's lineup on Sunday, however, had a few players who had experienced rare success against Sabathia. Third baseman Jamey Carroll, 4-for-10 in his career against Sabathia, hit eighth in the series finale, while designated hitter Trevor Plouffe (3-for-9) and center fielder Clete Thomas (3-for-6) hit fifth and seventh, respectively.
"We've faced him a lot of times," Gardenhire said. "So we put the guys, like I said, with the most at-bats against him and who at least have some numbers, and we'll take our shot."

What is an LED?
What is an LED?
An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is an electronics component that emits light when it is powered. Since it is a diode, an LED must be wired correctly for it to work (diodes only let current flow in one direction). When connecting an LED it is important to distinguish which lead is the anode (positive) and which is the cathode (negative).
To make it easier to identify the two leads, all LEDs are manufactured with two physical properties; the first is that LEDs are manufactured with one lead that is longer that the other. The longer lead is the anode(+) and the shorter lead is the cathode(-). The second feature is a small flat notch on the side of the LED. The lead that is closer to the notch is always the cathode. This is important to remember since the leads may have been clipped.
When referencing a schematic (drawing of the electrical pathways and components using symbols), the symbol for the LED shows which way the current flows and allows you to connect the LED the correct way. On the symbol for an LED, the cathode is on the side with the line touching the point of the triangle. An easy way to remember this is that the triangle 'points' the way the current may flow. It is important to note that there are many variations on the schematic symbol; however, they all have a triangle with a line across the point and one or two arrows pointing out.
How to Wire up an LED
To wire up an LED you will need an LED, a breadboard, some wires, and a 470Ω resistor (color code: yellow-violet-brown). A resistor is an electronics component that limits the flow of electricity. This is important because most components, (including LEDs) have a limit on how much current can flow through them before they are damaged. Resistors are used to limit the current flow and help prevent this damage.
Wiring up an LED is very simple. For this circuit, all you need to do is connect one lead of the resistor to digital pin 5 on the Arduino. Connect the other lead of the resistor to the anode lead of one of the LEDs, and then connect the cathode to ground.
To make this easier, we will use the breadboard. Make sure that you have the anode and cathode of the LED on separate buses (to prevent a short) and that one of the resistor leads is in the same bus as the LED's anode.
Understanding the circuit
The Arduino digital pin in this circuit will be configured as an output, which means the pin will act as a 5 volt source when high and a ground when low.In electronics the ground connection refers to the voltage supply connection that has 0 volts.
The Arduino supplies 5 volts for its digital pins. However, the LED requires about 2 volts across the leads, not the 5 volt output from the pin. This is where the resistor comes in to play.
For a series circuit (the components are connected one after the other), the sum of the voltage drop (voltage drop - the amount of voltage used by a component) across each component must be equal to the source voltage, which in this case is 5 volts. Since the LED needs 2 volts the resistor must have a voltage drop of 3 volts. Additionally, for series circuits, the current (amperes or amps abbreviated as A) flowing through each component in the circuit is the same. Based on these properties it is possible to calculate the required resistance of the resistor using (Vs·VLED)/ILED=R, where Vs is the supply voltage, VLED is the voltage across the LED, ILED is the desired current flowing through the LED, and R is the resistance of the resistor. We selected the 470Ω resistor because it provides a nice safety range for variances of the components.

Surprise Invitation Lands Syrian Peace Talks In Hot Water
The long-anticipated Syrian peace conference is again in turmoil. The U.N. secretary-general's surprise decision to invite Iran to attend the conference prompted a boycott threat from Syria's exiled opposition. At issue is the fact that Iran has not publicly committed to the framework for the conference or pledged to withdraw its troops and allied militias from Syria. Under pressure from the opposition groups and the U.S., the U.N. has since withdrawn its invitation to Iran.

What is reach? What does it mean? How does it affect your social media strategy? These are some of the questions that you should be asking when deciding what your strategy and budget is.
Let's start with some simple definitions (in the context of social media)
Reach: (noun) – the extent or range of something's application, effect, or influence.(verb): Attain or extend to (a specified point, level, or condition) (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/reach).
Applied to social media, your reach is the extent or range of your posts, advertising and messages. Your reach is extended by the number of shares, comments, and likes that a particular post attracts.
Great, you say, I'll use the app promotional tools to boost my post, advertise within the medium. It will increase my reach, lots of people will jump on board. Business will boom! Unfortunately this is not necessarily so. For your reach to have any meaning, you must have engagement.
Engagement: the traditional definition of the word refers to a formal agreement to get married or an arrangement to do something or to go somewhere at a fixed time. (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/engagement).
For social media, engagement has a different meaning which has been neatly summarised by Mary Green, Social Media Fuze. Mary defines engagement as getting your fans to do something in response to your post. This seems pretty straightforward doesn't it?
It would seem then that as long as you ask your intended audience to do something, you will get your engagement. Well, maybe not. Is the content that you are promoting relevant to the broader audience. Is your product or business something that they care about? It brings you back the first question that should be asked – WHO are YOUR customers? The answer to this question should lead you to what type of content you should be posting.
Increasing your reach can be achieved in two ways. The organic reach is where your current fans have engaged with your posts and spread it through their networks. The other option is the paid / sponsored reach. Paid / sponsored posts will certainly increase your reach but no guarantees on the engagement.
Your post is not successful without engagement, you might as well stand at your front door and shout into the street.
It appears to be obvious that the organic reach is likely to provide the most engagement but do not rule out a paid campaign. Look at what your competitors are posting, see what their audiences are engaging with, see if this style works with your business and design your posts around these parameters.
If you do decided to have a paid campaign, trial your post with your current customers, see if they engage or share with their networks. It will give you an indication of whether your promotion is relevant to your intended audience.
This post is meant to explain the difference between reach and engagement when you look at your analytics. You may get excited when you see your post has reached 400% more users than the week prior, but has it brought you any new business or referrals. That is the true measure of success in your social media strategy.
What do you think? Your comments are welcome, it lets us know that you have engaged with this post.

Cluster factsheet
Studying how the solar wind affects Earth
Name Cluster refers to the fact that four identical spacecraft are used in the mission in a cluster pattern.
Description Cluster is a collection of four spacecraft flying in formation around Earth, relaying the most detailed ever information about how the solar wind affects our planet in three dimensions. The solar wind (the perpetual stream of subatomic particles given out by the Sun) can damage communications satellites and power stations on Earth. The operation lifetime of the Cluster mission ran from February 2001 to December 2009. In October 2009, the mission was extended until end 2012.
Launch 16 July and 9 August 2000 (two launches of two Cluster satellites each, using two Russian Soyuz rockets from Baikonur, Kazakhstan).
Status Launched 2000.
Journey At each launch, two Cluster satellites were placed in elliptical orbits with an altitude varying from 200 to 18 000 kilometres above Earth. The two satellites of each launch were then released, one after the other and used their own onboard propulsion systems to reach the planned operational orbit (between 19 000 and 119 000 kilometres from the planet).
The first four Cluster spacecraft were destroyed when the Ariane-5 rocket exploded during its maiden launch on 4 June 1996. Three new Cluster spacecraft had to be built while the fourth was constructed out of spare parts. The new spacecraft were launched four years later.
Having four identical spacecraft, Cluster was the first space project ever to have to build a series of craft in true series production.
Using identical instruments simultaneously, three-dimensional and time-varying phenomena can be studied.
600 kilograms (half of the launch weight) of each Cluster spacecraft was taken up by fuel required for the complicated manoeuvres employed to position the spacecraft into the correct orbit.
Early in 2000, ESA held a public competition 'Name the Cluster Quartet'. The winner named the spacecraft Salsa, Samba, Tango and Rumba after Latin American ballroom dances.

Churches come into existence when there is a need. Such was the case of Anderson First Baptist Church. Originally called Mount Tabor, it was located one and a half miles south of Anderson where the Saluda Baptist Association Office now stands on South Murray Avenue. A number of people of the Baptist faith lived in this area, and in 1817, Rev. James Burriss began his ministry here. His congregation gathered under a brush arbor. A log house of worship replaced the arbor in 1819, and the church became a mission of the Shockley Ferry Baptist Church. In July 1821, Mount Tabor was constituted as an independent church with 56 members. Sanford Vandiver was the first pastor, a position he filled until 1842 (21years). In 1822, the church was admitted to the Saluda Baptist Association.
In 1834, the congregation of 86 people moved into the Village of Anderson. A small white frame building was erected on the present site and the name was changed to the Anderson Baptist Church. From that time to the present, the church, in order to meet the growing needs of its members, built new buildings, purchased additional properties, and added new facilities.
The church called its first full time pastor, the Rev. J. Scott Murray, in the Fall of 1851. The Sunday School was established in the early 1860's. The woman's Missionary Union was organized on April 20, 1875. Discipleship Training, as it is now called, was organized in 1900 as the Baptist Young People's Union.
In the fall of 1892, the name of the church was changed to the First Baptist Church, and it was incorporated by the State of South Carolina on February 2, 1903. The first Vacation Bible School was held in the summer of 1920.
On the grounds of the present church office building, formerly the church parsonage, stood Johnson Female Seminary. It was organized in 1848, and named for Dr. William B. Johnson, the first president of the Southern Baptist Convention. He came to Anderson in 1853 as the Chancellor of this institution, the forerunner of Anderson College. At his death, Dr. Johnson was buried in the church cemetery where a handsome marker was erected by the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
Nineteen pastors have served First Baptist Church. Dr. Josh Hunt is the current (20th) pastor. The church's spiritual growth, evangelistic efforts, and contributions to missions and Christian education can be attributed to the labors of these men of God who have taught and led the people into a fuller life of Christian service. Under their capable leadership, the church has grown into one of the largest churches in the South Carolina Baptist Convention. From its beginning, it has contributed leadership and monetary support to all denominational causes.
The Janie Chapman Offering for State Missions was named for Mrs. J.D. Chapman, the first state Women's Missionary Union President. Mrs. Chapman's husband was pastor of the church from 1900 to 1907. Both of them were active in leading the youth of the church in Christian service. One of the young men involved in their organizations was W. Marshall Craig. Dr. Craig became recognized throughout the Southern Baptist Convention as an outstanding minister and evangelist. He is one of many of First Baptist's sons and daughters that have entered Christian vocations, serving at home and abroad.
First Baptist Church has a noble heritage which serves to challenge today's members to work diligently for the advancement of the Kingdom of God throughout the world.

Chatroulette Creator Andrey Ternovskiy Gets an iPad, Gives Us a Peek at Version 2.0
All Things Digital intern Drake Martinet spent a long, cold night in front of the Palo Alto, Calif., Apple store. He filed this dispatch:
What do you do when you're 17, you're visiting the United States from Russia, and you've created the Internet meme of the moment?
You spend your Friday night camped out in front of an Apple store, of course.
Chatroulette creator Andrey Ternovskiy is a really big deal right now, but he had to wait in line for his Apple (AAPL) iPad along with the rest of us. It was a long wait, so I got him to spend some of it telling me about changes in store for his site, which lets you talk to, gawk at or "next" random strangers.
Ternovskiy has made a subtle but important tweak already–specifically, changes to the "reporting people" function designed to cut down on the male genitalia that famously crop up throughout the site.
I had the honor of going on Chatroulette with its creator, and the changes seem to be working, as we were "nexted" by 30-plus people without seeing a single offense. In one case, we did encounter a couple middle fingers, which Ternovskiy said is an accepted greeting on Chatroulette.
Then Ternovskiy agreed to show me what developments he planning to release next.
First, he showed me something likely to be termed "Chessroulette," in which a chessboard or other simple game shows up on the screen and users tap out messages. The idea is that they can play instead of type.
"People meet each other and don't have anything to talk about," Ternovskiy said. "This is kind of like an ice breaker."
He also showed me a nearly completed version in which, instead of seeing a small image of yourself and another small image of your Chatroulette pal, "you open the window and you just have one big picture of your partner."
One thing that Ternovskiy doesn't have in the works: An iPad version of the site.
Why not? For starters, the iPad doesn't come with a videocamera. But you could presumably resolve that if you wanted to.
The bigger problem is that Apple's gadget does not support Adobe's (ADBE) Flash, and that's the code that makes Chatroulette possible.
Ternovskiy said it might be possible to rewrite the site in HTML5, which would fix the problem, but he has no plans to do so.
Maybe this will change now that he has his own iPad to play with.
Here's the video, taken in front of the Apple store in Palo Alto:

Big 12 brings big boost for KC economy
City expects big impact despite Mizzou's absence
Despite the absence of the Missouri Tigers in this year's Big 12 Championship, the basketball tournament is still expected to bring millions to the Kansas City economy.
Tickets were still available for Wednesday's opening sessions of the tournament, two games featuring matchups between schools from Texas and West Virginia. Local favorites Kansas and Kansas State will open play Thursday.
Missouri's switch to the SEC had some Tiger fans feeling blue about not seeing the black and gold.
"The last four years, we've always come to Kansas City. It's kind of disappointing. The rivalry between MU and KU has kind of lost its luster," said Missouri fan Eric Neese.
But the tournament will still bring in lots of money, part of a month that will bring multiple basketball tournaments to town.
"Kansas City is known, in March, as the basketball capital of the world," said Kathy Nelson of the Kansas City Sports Commission. "We'll have almost $23 million in our community being spent in the course of 12-14 days."
"Our sales are always up this time of year, especially because it's also springtime," said Bobby Braeckel, the manager of the Shark Bar. "We also have a lot of basketball coming in from out of town and we appreciate that."
While Missouri fans won't be here this weekend, there's still a chance they could come to Kansas City to play in NCAA Tournament games next weekend.
"I'm holding out hope. You never know how the tournament goes," said Neese. "I don't know if there is a dominant team like there used to be. Anyone can win it, and that's what's exciting about March Madness."

Ever wonder how the dinosaurs got it on?
Neither did we until we heard about dino specialist Brian Switek, who has devised what's being called a Kama Sutra for dinosaurs, explaining how T-Rex, et al, preferred to get it on, based on their different body types and accouterments.
For example, while velociraptors could totally do it doggie style, others species' females were not cool with being mounted—especially when their partners could weigh up to 25 tons. (Um...hell to the no.)
Stegosauruses had some notable sexual challenges aside from their large size: Going in from behind would have been impossible with the female stegosaurus' spiky tail in the way (ouch), so Switek guesses that this species did the deed when the female positioned on her side. (A good choice, if we do say so ourselves.)
So, what can we learn from these prehistoric creatures? A few new positions, perhaps: Apparently, the male and female kentrosaurus may have actually backed into each other to procreate. Kinky!

Price: £14.58 (£12.15 Excluding VAT at 20%)
Excellent service. Prompt delivery
excellent service and have no problem to use them again.
They went out of their way to check that the engine would fit my old rotovator - and it did!
Organised and prompt response to my order, keeping me informed. Delivery very good.
I was replied to very shortly after putting in my query. The part I was looking for was for an old mower and Michael replied by sending me details of where to look for engine number etc. I hope I now have the correct parts but won't know until Monday
I ordered three screws. They were new parts and good quality, but I thought the cost was extortionate, as was the shipping charge. It came to £16 for three screws.
Good service, website easy to navigate for finding correct parts. Speedy delivery.
prompt delivery delivered on date stated for a special order,
Supplied genuine Briggs and Stratton parts in a fast timely, accurate timescale. Only problem I endured had nothing to do with the parts, but the cause of my parts requirement. My lawnmower did not start - so I checked the spark plug and coil. So I ordered new parts to ensure starting. Nothing started. So I then buy a spark plug inline tester - then I found disconnecting the earth the spark worked. So I ordered new earth lead and switch. Replaced those, still not working. Then I discovered the fault cause, the arm that moved when pulling in the cable starter lever - that disconnects the earth had bent causing no disconnection. I levered the arm with cable removed straight, reconnected cable - worked fine. But I now have plenty of spares for another day!
Great service and fast delivery.
Prompt delivery and genuine parts, what's not to like
Very good sorted the part for me
Everything superb price service excellent Good useful website.
Recommended. The most extensive range, easily searched and quickly delivered.
Excellent turn round of request and delivered well before I expected the items. Everything was in order and as requested.
Ordered from you for the fist time , easy to order , and good delivery time, will certainly order again when necessary
Emailed to add a further item to my order and received phone call to discuss how to best arrange this. All completed within half an hour, including Paypal refund for additional delivery charge. Overall cost just pennies more than Amazon, which I prefer to avoid if items available from independents at a similar price.
Parts were delivered as requested and quicker than expected. Website was great for tracking down the spare part, as the part number on original was obsolete.
Easy to navigate to the part needed. Prompt delivery. Communication faultless via email. What's not to like
Incredible. They sent pictures and diagrammes etc. So that I could find the exact model and the exact part I needed. So easy. Would recommend to anyone. Much easier than the Briggs Stratton site.

HOLY cow Jessica Chastain looks astoundingly similar to Disney Princess Merida. Disney fairy tale photographer Annie Leibovitz created a pretty compelling recreation of Merida, thanks to Jessica Chastain and a gigantic ginger wig. The similarity is striking — she even has the same smirk!
WHERE YOUR DESTINY AWAITS — In a new image by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz unveiled today by Disney Parks, Jessica Chastain stars as the adventurous princess, Merida, from 'Brave.' The newest 'Disney Dream Portrait' from Leibovitz was commissioned by Disney Parks for their ongoing celebrity advertising campaign which debuted in 2007. The image, which will appear in the February issue of 'O – The Oprah Magazine,' is entitled, 'Where your destiny awaits.' (Annie Leibovitz for Disney Parks).

A message from Chris Corchado
On February 1, 2020 the 14th Annual Valentine Plunge brings together a brotherhood of family, friends, community and heart! Each one of you is needed to make that day a "fun-draising" success.
Jumping in 32 degree water in the middle of the winter has to be the stupidest idea ever. The icy plunge goes against all of your natural instincts but most of us are going out for the thirteenth year in a row as an act of solidarity with our local PALS (People with ALS) because they are conquering immensely greater fears every minute of every day. The spirit of the day is incredibly uplifting. To see hundreds of people come together to help their neighbors in need is just beautiful.
The "plunge" we're asking you to make doesn't involve freezing cold water -- but it will make a big splash in the lives of our PALS. Simply click the "Donate" button above to make a secure online donation today.
Thanks for joining the family!

10 Tips For Pay Per Click Advertising - Articles Surfing
PPC also referred to as pay per click advertising, is a type of advertising used on search engines which triggers the display of an advertiser's website when a user clicks on their ad. These ads are located on the right hand side of the search engine results listed. Advertiser's pay for the ad display only when the user clicks on their ad. These ads are displayed next to the search engine results according to the keyword or keyword phrase that is searched on the search engine. Once a related keyword or keyword phrase is searched on the search engine, it triggers the advertiser's ad to appear along with the search engine results. The ads displayed are known as sponsored links. Below are the top 10 tips for effective pay per click advertising.
The 1st tip to begin a standard pay per click advertising campaign for a product or service, it is best to find out what will sell it effectively. Collecting information about your product or service, the company's background, the competitors involved, feedback from professionals in the field and consumers will help you gage how to sell it. All this data will help give you an idea about what to include in your campaign and how to make your ad appealing. The right type of exposure is needed for your ad to gain attraction. The 2nd tip is to design your pay per click advertising campaign around the needs of the consumers. Thirdly, it is also important to display ads on quality search engines such as Google and Yahoo. If displayed on other minor search engines, chances are your ad is less likely to be viewed by an interested user.
Tip number 4, when constructing the ad to display, avoid adding numerous product descriptions within the ad. This causes a loss of focus and takes out the mystery of having the user click on the ad to find out about more information and products. The idea is to get the user to click on the ad so don't reveal everything in one go! The 5th tip is to make sure the ad includes several keywords and not just one. The more related keywords included in your ad, the more likely it will be displayed when a keyword is entered into the search engine. For pay per click advertising, the 6th tip is the most important. An ad should be arranged correctly so it leads to the proper URL destination website. The url destination website should be easy to browse through and appealing to the eye. It is very frustrating for a user to deal with broken links, wrong destination pages and other mistakes. These sort of errors lead a user to choosing another website which is easier to navigate and will decrease your chances of a sale.
Tip number 7 emphasizes the importance of monitoring the performance of pay per click advertising to test out which keywords are working and which ones should be removed. Tip number 8 discusses the need for further research after the advertising campaign has gone live. Pay per click advertising at times needs further research to figure out the market trends and to observe when the ad will be more likely clicked whether it is a specific time, hour, day, season, and holiday or any other factors making an impact on its performance. Tip 9 focuses on tracking the conversion ratio which determines the return on investment for your website. This means, if an advertiser's goal is for people to fill out a survey, or order a product from a website, it counts how many users were influenced enough to do so after clicking on the ad. And the final tip would be to construct more than just one ad. Create several and see how they perform. You might find it helpful rotating all the ads to enhance the performance of the specific website.
Pay per click advertising is a continuous process of testing and enhancing your ads to give in to the demands of consumers. If your ad can send across the right message to a consumer, count on maximized sales and plenty of market exposure due to successful pay per click advertising.
