It seems like everyone has a podcast these days.
And that would be likely true – iTunes has more than 300,000 podcast series listed in the directory, and about 60,000 of those are considered active, which means they have some kind of recent updates. It also means that it's super hard to get noticed, especially if you're relying on iTunes to help with that. Podcast marketing becomes incredibly important as part of the overall marketing strategy.
There are two primary reasons to host and produce a podcast –
- Entertainment programming, with ad revenue to support the show. Shows that fit this description include Serial, the uber popular podcast that NPR's This American Life group created. Serial was so wildly successful that it created a jump in the number of podcasts and listeners to podcasts that brought the medium back into the limelight.
- Business promotion programming, or using the podcast as a marketing tool, similar to webinars, video marketing or running a blog to generate leads and revenue. A large number of new podcasts are designed with business promotion in mind, and if you are producing a podcast for marketing purposes, this article is definitely for you.
You have to get noticed in order to get listeners. (That's why we're talking podcast marketing here!)
Right? Otherwise you're just talking to dead air, no one hears you and you don't get your point across. So what are the best ways to get yourself and your podcast noticed, and to increase your listener numbers with each new episode? Podcast marketing is how you are going to get your numbers up!
Pssst — get the guide and see how easy it can be –
We published an article about understanding how podcast stats should be measured, and what stats are important to getting an accurate metric. Before you can figure out what stats are good and which ones need work, you need to formulate a podcast marketing plan and start working it just like you would social media or email list building.
[Tweet "Tip #1 – Get your podcast OUT THERE"]
Make sure you get your podcast listed with all of the syndication apps, not just iTunes.
There's Stitcher, Spreaker, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and TuneIn. You're probably not going to see a lot of traffic from any of them individually, but you'll want to be accessible in as many ways as possible. This will also help give you more SEO juice (and I do hope that you're writing every podcast episode just like you would a blog post that you're going to promote; think carefully about the excerpt, since that's what most syndication apps will display.
Check out this screenshot from one of our blog pages – we use the sidebar to promote podcast updates to mobile directly from the page.
[Tweet "Tip #2 – Keep getting your podcast OUT THERE"]
Link your podcast from EVERY possible channel that you have available to you.
If you have a mailing list, then include your podcast marketing updates in each mailer you send out – use the sidebar or the footer and pull in the updated information using the RSS feed feature in your mailing list software.
Don't forget social media – include a link to your podcast in the profile for each and every one of your accounts. Make a Pinterest board for your podcast episodes and update it each time you launch a new one. Push your updates to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tumblr, etc – again, you probably won't get giant organic traffic from any single source, but every little bit helps.
[Tweet "Tip #3 – Mobile push notifications get the best response rate"]
The most effective communications with prospects are done on mobile these days.
Face the facts. People look at their lock screens an average of 150 times EACH DAY. That's a lot of attention to such a small piece of real estate. For some people it's a habit, for others it's their preferred method of communication; for nearly everyone, it's the primary means of communication, and the one they pay attention to the most.
How can you set up lock screen notifications for your podcast?
There are a couple of ways that you can set up push notifications that go directly to the lock screen. The easiest and fastest way to set this up is to leverage existing apps like Apple Wallet – EVERY iPhone being used today already has the Wallet app installed, and it can't be removed. That's a potential install base of half of the modern world, not to mention that iOS users historically spend more money than their Android carrying cousins.
Using Apple Wallet for push notifications is the most effective way to get on the lock screen.
Setting up notifications using the mobile wallet marketing passes (like Tommy Chong podcast updates or Modern Love from the New York Times) is quick and easy to do; it takes about a day to get set up and running.
Mobile wallet marketing passes can be installed in two different ways, tapping a direct link from the mobile phone or scanning a QR code with the mobile phone. This drops the pass into the Apple Wallet (or Android wallet app) and enables the push notifications.
[Tweet "Bonus Tip – Leverage passes to get referrals from listeners"]
What? Referrals? How does this happen?
You're in luck, it's super easy – the person with the pass installed taps the Share button on the back of the pass or they let their friends, neighbors, or co-workers scan the QR code on the front of the pass with their mobile phone.

Welcome, today we are talking with Anni Fife! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, I think it's important for readers to get a little insight on an author that they don't necessarily get from your professional bio. You'd be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest 'I can relate to that' grabs their interest where nothing else can.
Can you share a little something about Anni Fife that's not mentioned in your bio on your website?
Several years ago, I booked a yoga retreat in the rainforests of Thailand. It was only after I arrived that I learned it was a silent meditation retreat. Shock! Shock! But the unexpected can often lead us down paths that change our lives in profound ways. This was one of those times. After days of meditation accompanied by the song of gibbons floating over the lake, my mind stilled. And in the silence, I reached a clarity of thought I didn't realize I'd been searching for, for most of my life. Ever since, meditation has become part of my daily life. It keeps me grounded, and forever reminds me of the unique experience gifted to me deep in the Thai jungle.
What is your favorite:
Animal – Wild dogs
Food – Pizza—with ham and mushroom and extra avocado—and a glass of red wine, or two, or three…
Movie – Shawshank Redemption
TV show – Grey's Anatomy
Actor – Meryl Streep
Singer – Bruce Springsteen
Author – Wally Lamb and Kristen Ashley
What are your pet peeves?
People who think their way is the only way….you know what I mean?!
Who is your hero?
Lisbeth Salander, the awesome protagonist from the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. She always brings the baddy to justice using her nerves of steel, a photographic memory, killer computer skills, and lateral thinking that threads all the pieces of the case together. Love her! I wanna be her!
Give us one thing on your bucket list.
Scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands. I dream of floating over schools of Hammerhead sharks!
What would readers find surprising about you?
I can cook! I'm busy in the final stages of opening a new business selling home-cooked country favorites to go, like Chicken Coq au Vin, Lamb Coconut Curry, and Beef Bourguignon.
If you could go to heaven, who would you visit?
Amy Winehouse. Hopefully, she'll have written a new song, and I can coax her to play it just for me.
Any bad habits?
When I start reading a book from a favorite author, I always miss my deadlines! I also have a lazy habit of slipping my shoes off wherever I happen to be sitting, and leaving them lying there for days. LOL!
What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you?
It's my wedding day and I'm walking down the aisle. A thread from the lace edging of my long white dress catches under the heel of my shoe. The more I try to release it, the tighter the thread pulls. The wedding march is playing insistently, my father's tugging my arm, but with my dress folded under my shoe, I'm not going anywhere. Stage-fright has my dad in its grip, but thankfully, one of my dear friends leaps to my aid, grovels on the floor under my dress, and releases me to continue on my journey to my husband-to-be. At the time, I was terribly embarrassed at my undignified 'walk down the aisle', but in hindsight, it was hilarious!
Now that our readers know a little bit more about Anni Fife, let's get down to the business of your book, Gray's Promise (King Security Book 2). How long did it take you from beginning to end before your novel was completely finished, and how did you decide on the topic and title?
From outline to writing, editing, and release, took fifteen months. The titles of my novels tend to reveal themselves early in the outline stages, and my subject matter most often opens up during long walks on the beach.
But with Gray's Promise, my intricate suspense plot didn't go quite as planned. I hadn't even reached the end of Chapter One, when I realized Gray and Zoey's journey to their happily ever after was going to be so painful and intense, and so darn beautiful, that a complicated plot was only going to distract from their explosive love story. Without hesitation, (but after two shots of Tequila), I threw out my the plot that had taken me months to plan and research, and replaced it with an evil much closer to home. I think it achieved what I hoped it would, but I would love your thoughts…
Please tell us a little bit about Gray's Promise.
Zoey Morgan seems to have it all as a successful surgeon in Boston. However, perfection lies only on the surface. Plagued by nightmares and amnesia from a tragedy that ripped her family from her fourteen years ago, she finds the courage to reach out to the only man who can make her feel safe. She's buried the memory of their love, but her heart—and her body—responds to the ex-marine in ways that are all too familiar.
Grayson "Gray" Walker's heart shattered when Zoey chose another man over him. Since then, he's built an impenetrable wall around his emotions. But from the moment she implodes back into his life, her vulnerability breaches his defenses. His skills as an elite member of the King Security team cannot shield him from the devastation of learning he might have left Zoey high and dry when she needed him most. Now, Gray must navigate the tripwire of helping her heal while protecting himself from being hurt again.
As the embers of their potent love reignite, an old threat awakens, leading to greater danger than ever before.
What was your hardest challenge writing this book?
I think it was building the physical relationship between Gray and Zoey. Complicated emotional factors (clear in the story when you read it) dictated I delay the sexual consummation between them. This presented a huge challenge because I had to find a way to make their sexual encounters smoking hot without them actually doing the deed until the final chapter of their story. Unwittingly, the love scenes between Gray and Zoey have ended up being the hottest scenes I've ever written, most likely because the emotion between these two complicated characters is intensely raw, but also because Gray is just that darn hot!
What in your opinion makes good chemistry between your leading characters?
Lots of conflict! It needs to arise from both internal emotional challenges and external events that impact on the characters individually and as a pair. There must also be a searing attraction to each other that is impossible to resist, and a love that takes root early, even if it is initially denied.
How many books do you plan to write in this series?
I always planned a minimum of six, but there might be more…
Are they standalone romances or do they end with a cliffhanger?
Any other works in progress?
I'm busy with Eva's Peace, the story of Scarlett Eva Young and her man, LAPD Detective Tom Payne. I can't summarize the story, as that will make me hyperventilate! When I talk about a Work-in-Progress, I always feel like I'm trapping my characters in a pre-determined plot. But I don't mind sharing with you the opening paragraph to the brief synopsis I sent my publisher.
"Eva's Peace begins amidst a crime that most police admit they dread more than any other—a missing child. Grace Young, eighteen months old, has been snatched from her nanny's car. We get our first glimpse of Grace's mother, Scarlett Eva Young, through the eyes of the lead detective assigned to the case, Detective Tom Payne of the Los Angeles Police Department. He stands alone in the observation room, watching from behind one-way glass as Eva and her ex-husband are interviewed. Tom finds Eva difficult to read. She is undeniably beautiful but her face is a blank mask. A frozen blank mask. In his experience, this meant she either didn't give a damn. Or she gave too much of a damn. He wanted to believe it was the latter. For the child's sake, he prayed it was the latter."
Any advice for aspiring authors?
I couldn't possibly advise another author, except to tell them to WRITE! I still consider myself a novice, and I'm in awe of how so many romance authors pump out books at a rate faster than I can down a bottle of red wine. Ask me again in five years time, or ten, or …..

Nolin History
Nolin RECC delivers core values that our members have come to rely on since we were first incorporated in 1938. We believe that the best way to manage tomorrow's change is to remember the values of the past, values like honesty, integrity, dedication, commitment, and community.
Combining computer-age techniques with common-sense values is something electric coops are used to doing. Some 78 years ago investor-owned utilities didn't think country folk would ever use enough electricity for them to be able to make a profit from stringing lines to households beyond the city limits. But the people in small towns and rural communities could envision the value of bringing light to the countryside. They banded together and came up with a number of innovations to get electricity: new engineering of distribution lines, government loan programs, organizing the local utilities as cooperative corporations, and most of all, sharing resources with each other for the good of their communities.

So, y'all remember that Creepy Faces / Beneath The Darkness book I've been talking about for a while? The scary one that I've written about 45,000 words in?
Yeah, I'm probably going to scrap it.
The problem is this: I just can't make it do what I want it to do. Like, I have this idea of what I want it to be, but it's too convoluted and I can't figure out how to make it OBEY.
It has been DIFFICULT, Grasshoppers.
And then a couple days ago, I had this kind of awesome idea about how to take it in a totally different direction, but it will require starting all over, which I did today. I wrote a brand new first chapter. And I like it. It needs work, but I like it.
I'm also working on this funny contemporary book about two college freshmen who go on a study abroad program to Spain.
"Anne! Didn't you do that in real life?" someone out there asks.
Yes, but I did it when I was a sophomore, so it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
Anyway, it's pretty hilarious so far, if I do say so myself, and honestly I'm in a bit of a quandary here.
CREEPY FACES is the book I feel like I need to write. It will be great, I know it, and very sellable.
UNTITLED CONTEMPORARY is the book I WANT to write at the moment.
If I work on both of them at the same time, my head might explode and also it will take me twice as long to complete the first drafts of each book.
Clearly, the only solution is to buy index cards, make a spreadsheet, and crank these suckers out.
I say that like it's actually that easy. ARE YOU FOOLED? Ha, haaaaaaaaa.
I wish I could write a book in ten days, like some people out there. Although, I wonder what their first drafts look like? Messy? Full of mistakes?
Hmmm. So "writing a book in ten days" might really mean "spending months and months on revisions because I went too fast."
What do y'all think? What is your fastest time for writing a first draft? How much of it did you use in the final manuscript, and how much did you scrap? What's your favorite way to draft?
Tell me. I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS AND SO LITTLE TIME.

Dehradun: Three members of a family were buried alive in the wee hours today when a wall collapsed following torrential rains in Uttarakhand's Tehri district even as the weather department forecast heavy rains in Kumaon region.
A woman, her daughter and son were killed in their sleep when the wall of their house in Purval village in Ghansali area of the district weakened by incessant showers caved in over them at around 4 AM, Tehri's District Magistrate Indudhar Baudai said.
Body of the deceased identified as 40-year-old Meena Devi, her 16-year-old daughter Sona and her 12-year-old son Sohan Lal have been recovered, he said.
Incessant rains have also inundated a stadium under construction in Tehri and the Zila Panchayat office.
Water level in the Tehri dam has touched 781 metre mark, prompting authorities to release 528 cusecs of water which may create flood-like situation in Rishikesh and Haridwar in the plains.
The MeT department here has issued a heavy rain alert for Almora, Nainital, Champawat and Pithioragarh districts of Kumaon region in the next 24 hours.
Deputy Secretary, Disaster Management, Santosh Badoni has sent and advisory to all district magistrates concerned to remain vigilant in view of the MeT department alert of heavy rains.

Time and time again I am impressed by the rough yet genuine beauty of the Zeeburgerkade, a quay in the Eastern Docklands, situated just at the mouth of the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal.
The fact that this used to be an industrial harbour area is still visible today, in spite of the old warehouses being repurposed for residential use.
Whereas most of the buildings in the Easten Docklands were built from scratch, the former warehouses on the Zeeburgerkade continue to bring back memories of the past as they definitely preserved their unique character.
Even on a cold rainy day, walking along the Zeeburgerkade is an experience on its own, which makes me think once again that Amsterdam truly is a special city to live in.

Paul Brady, Licensee of the Maxol station on Dublin's Navan Road, is the kind of man that has passions. And he turns those passions into something that can help the community and raise money for charity.
Maxol runs in Paul's blood. He has been working in Maxol stations since he was 18 years old, and now at age 41, he is the Licensee of the Maxol forecourt on the Navan Road, Dublin. "Maxol is a family-run business," says Paul, "And after 23 years, I suppose you could say that it's my family too."
Something else runs in Paul's blood – genes that link him to several important figures in Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising. In fact, his interest in genealogy led him to work with a genealogy expert to research his entire family tree, dating back to the 1700s, where they found an ancestor who was a trader, proving that retail is indeed in the Brady blood! His passion for the project was such that it caught the attention of The Irish Independent, which published an article on him in April, 2016.
But Paul's greatest passion is his garden. A keen gardener since his early teens, Paul is now studying part-time at the National Botanic Gardens down the road in Glasnevin, balancing his time at the Maxol station. But who says a man can't have both passion and work rolled into one? When thinking of ways to raise money for Maxol's new charity partner, Aware, Paul came up with the brilliant idea of hosting an open garden event in his own garden.
"It was a way of putting my green thumb to use!" laughs Paul.
Above: A photo of Paul Brady's urban garden
Paul's garden is very special. An urban garden surrounded by towering apartment blocks and buildings on all sides, it is a little green oasis in a sea of concrete. "There are over 1,000 different varieties of plants in my garden," says Paul, proudly. Because the surrounding buildings throw shade onto the garden, Paul has adapted by planting mainly shade-loving plants that do well in such conditions, such as hostas, ferns, and heuchera.
Above: Paul has a glasshouse where he grows on the more tender of his shade-loving plants.
Paul was astounded by the success of the open garden days, which were held on 17 and 18 June, 2016. "I suppose that people living in cities just love to see a bit of green," he says. Paul and his staff at Maxol worked very hard and raised a total of €1,000 for Aware. "I'm already planning the next open garden event," chuckles Paul.
Helping Aware, the foremost mental health charity in Ireland, is important to Paul because, in the long term, he is hoping to do some part time or volunteer work in the area of 'therapeutic horticulture', a new discipline that seeks to help persons with mental health problems through the healing art of gardening.
Paul is also a fervent believer in getting the gardeners of tomorrow involved today. He and Maxol recently sponsored a garden project in a new local school called the 'Pelletstown Educate Together School', aimed at gathering community support and funds to give the new school a proper garden. The school itself only had enough funds to pay for lawn mowing, so the local Rathborne Community Association asked Paul if he would be willing to help.
Paul was of course more than happy to get involved. "I oversaw the efforts of dozens of volunteers to dig and plant a new school garden, including many kids themselves, who helped me plant the vegetables," says Paul.
Above: Paul, Maxol, and dozens of volunteers (including kids!) help build a school garden
Not only did Maxol and Paul help out financially, but Paul also rolled up his sleeves with the rest of them and got to work. Paul thinks it is vital for children to see where their food comes from, especially in cities where they mightn't normally have access to a green space.
Now the Pelletstown school has a garden they can be proud of. In fact, they are so delighted with their garden that they entered it into the Dublin City Neighbourhood Awards and came in second!
Above: Growing on tender vegetables from seed for the school garden
Paul hasn't walked away from the school project either. Whenever he finds old packets of vegetable seeds, he grows them on in his glasshouse and then transfers them to the raised bed vegetable section of the school garden. A new generation of school kids are learning about where their food comes from, thanks to Paul and Maxol!
Paul is always thinking of small but clever ways to link Maxol and his garden, two of his big passions. For example, he uses old metal bins from the Maxol forecourt as planters in his garden, thus turning something ugly into something useful and beautiful (not to mention ecologically-minded!).
Paul Brady's story proves once again that Maxol owner-operators are not just in the business of selling fuel. Maxol is truly at the heart of it, rolling up its sleeves, and getting its hands dirty - and all in the name of a good cause!
Above: Old Maxol forecourt bins re-purposed as beautiful planters!

CONROE — On January 10, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Special Victim's Unit and Crime Scene Investigators executed a search warrant at a residence in the 400 Block of Gladstell in Conroe. The search warrant was for an investigation of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child. The victim was 11 years old when the abuse started. During the execution of the search warrant at the suspect's residence, the suspect was not home but detectives received information that the suspect was intending to flee the United States and head back to Mexico. An arrest warrant was filed and a second search warrant was executed on January 11, 2019 in a separate location to collect additional evidence.
On January 12, 2019 at approximately 8:30 AM Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Special Victims Unit and SWAT; Investigators with the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office; Special Agents with the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the US Marshals Service were able to locate and apprehend the suspect in Conroe.
The suspect is Jose Manuel Tiscareno Hernandez (January 30, 1987) who is in the country illegally and has been deported back to Mexico on multiple occasions. He is currently incarcerated in the Montgomery County Jail, and an ICE hold had been requested due to the nature of this offense as well as his current immigration status.

Babies are sounders and movers, born ready to make music, and they learn music in much the same way they learn language; by being immersed in it. Just as it is never too early to start talking to your baby, it is never too early to start singing with your baby. The special "Babies Class" for infants less than 8 months. is offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together®. In this class, the activities are specifically designed to teach you how to support music development in infancy and how to connect with your baby through music using methods such as "purposeful touch," and "sound-layering." For infants older than seven months we do suggest registering for mixed-age classes, where your baby can learn not only from you, but also by watching, listening to and imitating the older children in the class.
My baby is under 8 months. Should I take a babies class or a mixed age class?
The Babies class is structured similarly to a mixed-age class. In both classes your teacher will lead you through a variety of activities, facilitating fun and creative ways for you to interact musically with your baby. The main difference lies in parent education. Because the infants are non-mobile in a Babies Class, there is a calmer energy which allows the teacher more opportunities to explain the 'whys' behind the 'whats' and to point out emerging musical behaviours.

A stronger euro, weaker dollar has helped equities all day as the markets believe a Greek deal is imminent. At 2 PM ET the Greek Prime Minister spoke, appealing for passage of the unpopular austerity act, and markets rose to the high of the day.
The big picture soon will turn to earnings....there has been no appreciable change in earnings expectations for the S&P 500 in the past two months, either for Q2 or the full year...but the S&P 500 is down 6% from the highs at the end of April...the market is telling us earnings expectations seem too high.
We are expecting fairly robust Q2 numbers: revenue growth of 10 percent for the S&P 500, earnings growth of 16 percent.
Sixteen percent is definitely robust earnings growth...and to top it off companies are consistently beating the estimates. In Q1, for example, analysts were looking for 13 percent earnings growth, we got close to 20 percent.
Can that trend continue in Q2 and the rest of the year?
Traders are very skeptical it can. One complaint: much of the earnings growth in Q2 is coming from energy and materials sector—thanks to higher commodity prices!
Those prices, it appear, are moderating. That's good news for consumers, but it will likely keep guidance from commodity producers on the conservative side.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
A couple big numbers to report at the box office this weekend beginning with
Nightmare on Elm Street
. The horror remake from Warner Bros. and New Line paid off by taking the top spot domestically with $32.2 million.
Box Office Winner: A Nightmare on Elm Street
A pretty strong number for
Elm Street
, especially since last October somewhat proved that the typically gory horror had lost its box office guarantee. While the film took the top spot domestically, the international market saw a different box office champ.
Releasing a week earlier in plenty of territories overseas, Paramount's
Iron Man 2
took in an amazing $100.2 million from 53 markets. Debut marks a rare occurrence that the international B.O. comes first in the summer push, with Paramount hoping to take advantage of the May Day holiday overseas, as well as lengthen playability before the World Cup in June.
With Elm Street being the only big taker in the States, the domestic box office was down a whopping 35% from the same frame last year, which saw the release of
X-Men Origins: Wolverine

###Choosing a Key-Value Solution for Logging Events Data
"It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory."
The words of Edwards Deming, an American statistician and author, can, perhaps best of all describe the idea behind the latest Ruby on Rails project I participated in. Change was the only hope.
Need to scale
Last year, we built a Web application on Ruby on Rails that worked with a MySQL database fulfilling all the requirements of a customer it was meant to. Later, the customer decided to make the project more social, building in a new module that allowed their users to diversify the activities within the app. The good news was that the new spirit stimulated users to be more interactive, attracted the new users, and helped the company expand its services to new countries. The bad news was that the amount of data to be logged increased immensely and was likely to continue to grow at an even greater pace. That was too much for the initial MySQL database, which couldn't cope with the increased load. Thus, change was inevitable.
While looking for a better database solution, we had to consider the special character of logging data, since it was the main function required. Typically, logging implies that data is frequently written and rarely read. There are almost no references or weak references between tables. There is no need for complex joins, as records are usually accessed by a primary key or another unique index. The records have a simple, but ununified structure.
Key-Value Solutions Analysis
Since our team was previously involved in the Memcached project, we already had NoSQL-related experience. It was obvious to us that a key-value solution could be a good fit. But which one?To identify the most suitable one for our app, we sorted out the popular open source solutions, such as Cassandra, CouchDB, MongoDB, etc.
As performance was critical, the solutions that could in any way impact the efficiency of the application were dismissed. Thus, we crossed out Cassandra, since it's written in Java and could require substantial memory resources and JVM installation. The application was created utilizing Ruby on Rails, therefore the key-value solution to be chosen had to be properly compatible with Rails. Now, CouchDB and MongoDB looked like good candidates as they do have the required Rails gems. Considering future plans and how fast the application had evolved up to that moment, we had to think about further development of the system and its maintenance. The easier it would be to engage the experts out there that could support the technology, the better. Sorry, CouchDB, Erlang is not that popular compared to C++ or Java.
This is how we decided that the most suitable fit in our case was MongoDB. It's written in C++, which implies enhanced performance for our Rails app. It's highly compatible with the Ruby on Rails application, since it comes with Ruby driver. And, it's very easy to install, just one step vs. configuring a separate environment. In addition, it offers cross-platform support, which is good in case the customer chooses to tune our Linux-based app to work on several operating systems.
Though the analysis of the key-value systems took some time, the choice to go with MongoDB proved to be the right one for a Rails application dealing with lots of logging data.
Replacing MySQL with MongoDB helped:
- Enhance performance: MongoDB turned out to be significantly faster than MySQL both for write and read operations for logging data. MongoDB uses RAM and disk extensively, just like the Memcached solution does.
- Ensure easy backups: Data is stored in flat files using custom binary format, which is compact and efficient. Files are allocated in incremental manner with extensions like .0, .1, .2, etc., which enables simple incremental backup. All you have to do is just back up the new files. Note again that this logic works due to the specifics of logging data.
- Provide easy replication: Replication was very clear and easy to setup with guaranteed performance overhead. No precise numbers, but it was around ~5%.
Implementation Notes
While implementing MongoDB, we discovered several peculiar things one should pay attention to if s/he chooses the solution for the similar case:
- The record structure is flexible, so you can store whatever you need within each record. There is no need to recreate the entire database or the table by adding a new field. Just store it in new records and that's it. However, no schema means that each record needs to store field names. By cutting field names, you can save a lot of disk space and memory. We saved ~900Mb on table of 5'000'000 rows by using "dt" instead of "date_time," "un" instead of "user_name," etc.
- Migrating was a bit time consuming, mostly because of renaming the fields.
- When you delete documents, it locks the entire database. This wasn't an issue for us, because of logging data nature. Just keep this in mind in case you want to use MongoDB for other types of data.
For our application, the new functionality and the increasing popularity caused increased traffic load, which could have been predicted, but still not planned. In some other cases—for example, with embedded system devices that continually generate and write some data—large amounts of data to be logged can be planned in advance. So, it might be a good idea to think about implementing a key-value solution at the stage of developing an application.
However, it's also possible that you might prefer something different rather than MongoDB. If your application needs to preserve the structured character of data (such as in a CMS), or if it focuses on indexing, then you might want to consider other solutions. Besides, MongoDB doesn't provide transaction support, so beware of moving your billing app to MongoDB. ;-) Just try, analyze, and don't be afraid of changes.
Note: Engine Yard AppCloud customers, keep an eye out for a follow up post coming soon from Altoros on installing and configuring MongoDB on AppCloud. Engine Yard is also working on formalizing our support for MongoDB. Stay tuned.

reaching my dreams. They're merely blocking one particular
path that I have mistakenly assume is the only way to reach
those dreams.
If I focus on the obstacles, then I give them more
power. Instead, I will focus on my purpose, on my most
authentic and fundamental intentions.
The world can trick me into thinking that there's only one
road to my destination. In truth, there are infinite ways
to get where I wish to go.
There's nothing that says I have to succeed in the same
way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says I
must define success in the same way as someone else.
I am truly one of a kind, with my own unique passions
and purposes. And I am fully capable of traveling my own
route to the fulfillment of my dreams.
I won't be stopped just because the road that everyone else
uses has been closed. I will Find my own path, and if that path
is blocked I will find another, and I will surely reach whatever
destination I choose.

We often hear the question, what are the top Asian countries for Blasian couple relationships. The simple fact is that Asian and Black dating is not very prevalent in any Asian country today. Blacks or Africans are simply not found in large numbers in any Asian country. The majority of Blacks who live in Asian countries will be either US Black military servicemen, African traders, Black American English teachers, African university students, or Black American corporate expats. The average Asian in Asia does not have much, if any exposure to Blacks, and hence does not spend much time thinking about Blacks or dating Blacks. However, Asian and Black dating does occur all over Asia – just in very small numbers. We personally know Black men who have dated or married Asian women they met in China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor, and Kazakstan. When Asians and Blacks have regular interactions, Blasian couples naturally start to form. Asian women in Asia have been dating and marrying US Black military servicemen for many years now, and increasingly with African Americans taking more expat assignments and teaching assignments in Asia, with Africans conducting regular trading in Asia, and with the internet making it very easy for Asians and Blacks to meet and regularly communicate in real time, Blasian couple relationships are starting to occur more often in Asia, albeit starting from very small numbers.
This post will list the top Asian countries for Blasian couple relationships – the places where Asians are more open to Blasian couple dating than other places in Asia, recognizing that many places in Asia are still not very open to Blasian couple relationships. Also, this post will apply mainly to Black men, Asian women (BMAW) couples, not Asian men, Black women (AMBW) couples. In the US, there are about 5 BMAW couples for every 1 AMBW couple, but in Asia, the ratio doubles to 10 BMAW couples for every one AMBW couple, so this post will primarily describe BMAW couples.
The following list is roughly in order of most likely to least likely for Blasian couple relationships in Asia, but your experiences may vary, so adjust the comments as necessary for your situation. Also this list is primarily for those looking for serious relationships and will not include some of the popular Asian party cities. If you are just looking for a fun time, then just head to Thailand and be safe, but this list is mainly geared toward people seeking serious long term relationships. Finally, for a data based view of this same question based on internet traffic from Asia to Asian / Black couple websites, see this link.
Top Asian Countries For Blasian Couple Relationships
1. Philippines
Top Cities to Consider – Cebu, Davao City
Filipinos are clearly the most open minded when it comes to Blasian relationships. It's hard to beat the warm and welcoming Filipino ways and with their English fluency and high percentage of Christians, it's easy for many Blacks to relate to Filipinos. While there are many genuine Filipinos, it is a poor country and there are always a number of scammers who are just looking to separate you from your money. Always keep your wits about you in the Philippines and avoid the women who are mainly looking for you to support them and their extended families.
2. Japan
Top Cities to Consider – Tokyo, Nagoya
A good number of younger and middle aged Japanese women are open to Blasian relationships, and many Black men report having great experiences in Tokyo and Nagoya. As with many countries, it really helps to learn as much as you can about the Japanese language and culture. Indeed language exchange is actually a great way to meet Japanese women. Sometimes due to their huge focus on saving face and avoiding conflict, Japanese women do not express their thoughts directly, which can lead to misunderstandings. Also beware of lonely bored married Japanese women who can waste your time, but fortunately most Japanese are very honest, so just ask if you are unsure. Finally, Japan is fairly expensive, so plan appropriately.
3. Malaysia
Top Cities to Consider – Penang, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu
Malaysia consists of Malays, Chinese Malaysians, and Indian Malaysians. While they are all nice people, for potential Blasian relationships, you will want to focus mainly on Chinese Malaysians. Chinese Malaysians are in many ways a "lite" version of mainland Chinese and are essentially a more relaxed version of Chinese. They still observe the Chinese way, but by growing up in an area with cultural diversity, they are much more tolerant of multicultural relationships. In east Malaysia (Kuching and Kota Kinabalu) on the island of Borneo which is closer to the Philippines, you will also meet some mixed Chinese Malaysian / Filipinos who are typically even more open to multicultural relationships.
4. China
Top Cities to Consider – Shenzhen, Shanghai
China is a huge country with lots of different cities, but two of the most cosmopolitan and global cities in China are Shenzhen and Shanghai. This creates pros and cons for these two cities. On the positive side, both cities have more diversity than most Chinese cities so Blacks are a more common sight and less of a curiosity in these cities. On the negative side, you are also more likely to meet money and status conscious women in both of these cities along with a fair number of scammers in Shanghai in particular who are mainly looking to separate you from your money. Women above the age of about 28 are considered past their dating prime, so you can find some really beautiful 30+ year old Chinese women who may not have as many dating options as you might think in China. If you meet and click with one of the many genuine women in either city, you can find much happiness, but it may take some navigating.
5. Oceania
Top Countries to Consider – Fiji, Samoa, Guam
The Pacific island countries of Oceania are technically not Asia and are instead part of the broader Asia Pacific classification, however Black and Pacific couple relationships are typically considered Blasian couple relationships as well. Many of the Pacific islands have relatively small populations which limits the opportunities there, but once you break away from the tourist crowds and start to get to know the local people on the islands, they often have the same warm spirit with very strong family ties similar to what you find in the Philippines. Many Pacific island people are very proud of their cultures and traditions, and island families are very close, so if you are dating a Pacific island lady, you have to come correct, or you could find yourself facing the wrath of her extended island family who likely will not take kindly to nonsense from newcomers or outsiders. Also life in the islands is often much simpler than in the US which should also be considered if you find a long term relationship in the Pacific.
6. Other Countries
Top Cities to Consider – Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei
These last three places are lumped together since they are not as likely to have Asians interested in Blasian couple relationships as the other places on this list. All three cities are among the most globalized cities in all of Asia and have many multinational corporations with diverse employee bases. While the Black populations in these cities are not large, most Asians in these cities will have seen or interacted with Blacks or Africans either in their company or in the city in general. Unlike other parts of Asia, Blacks are far less likely to be stared at as an uncommon sight in these cities, however that does not necessarily mean that the Singaporeans, Hong Kongers, or Taiwanese seek to date Blacks in these cities. Indeed, in these three cities, Asian women who are willing to date non-Asians will primarily seek to date rich white guys.
Blasian couple dating in these cities mainly occurs when the Black guy is likely an executive or engineering expat with one of the multinational companies located in these cities. He also likely doesn't spend a lot of time focused on race. The Asian lady is likely either a work related, career driven, independent type OR a female friend of a work colleague who is also likely career driven and either sheltered or independent. The lady is also likely in her 30s or 40s and viewed as past her dating prime by Asian standards. In both cases, these women are not necessarily looking for a relationship, but the man's stable financial situation, and the quality of his professional character will likely win the lady over with time. Our writers lived in Singapore for a few years and have visited Hong Kong and Taipei many times, and the Blasian couples we know in these cities all fit this profile. Again, these three cities are not the first place you would look for Asians interested in Blasian couple relationships in Asia. Singapore and Hong Kong in particular are very expensive, but all three cities are fun places to live and visit in Asia, even if Blasian couple relationships might be hard to find there.
Tips to Optimize Your Trip To Asia
So to be clear, just showing up in one of these places as a Black man does not mean that Asian women will be jumping all over you, not even in the very friendly Philippines. However, in all of Asia, these are the places where you are most likely to find Asian women open to Blasian couple relationships today. Are you guaranteed to find a Blasian couple relationship in all of the places on this list – obviously no – if you are difficult to deal with and you are not willing to invest time in a multicultural relationship in the US, you likely won't find a relationship in Asia either. Can you find Blasian couple relationships in Asian countries that are not on this list like Korea, Vietnam, or India – sure, you can, but you will be swimming against a very heavy negative current in most places not on this list. With some of the countries that are not on the list like Korea, you are actually typically much better off finding Korea Americans who are far more likely to date Blacks once they are outside of Korea. This list, like most other information on this blog, is merely a starting point to hopefully get you pointed in the right direction, but as with most things, your individual results will vary with your actions.
Here are a few additional tips to help you maximize your use of this list if you decide to visit any of these places:
- Build a pipeline of potential dates to meet before you arrive in Asia. There are plenty of social media and reputable Asian dating sites where you can meet potential dates or tour guides a couple of months before your trip. Use these sites to find potential dates and have several free video calls (with tools like Skype or WeChat) with them before you travel. Ideally, you will have regularly spoken to any potential dates for 2 to 3 months before you travel to their country. This way when you arrive in Asia, you will have a schedule of dates already set up.
- If you are planning on meeting several different people during your trip, it's often best to just disclose that to the people you agree to meet with online so everyone is clear when you arrive in Asia. The more friendly locals you know when you are on the ground in Asia, the better, so no need to create a bunch of hurt feelings when you are there. Many Asian women take their dating much more seriously than American women and things can escalate in their minds faster than they are escalating in your mind.
- Reach out to your friends who either live in your destination city in Asia or have family who live there. It can help considerably to have locals who can guide you and translate for you while you are there, make introductions, or even possibly get you out of a jam if things go sideways. A personal introduction from a mutual friend can go a long way with many Asians.
- Keep in mind that there are lots of Asian women who will waste your time. Do what you can to sort them out before you land in Asia, so that you can maximize your time with the ladies with the most long term potential.
- It always helps to learn a little bit of the language before you arrive in Asia. Even just showing that you attempted to learn the language by speaking imperfectly in the new language will win you a ton of respect and help from the locals, as opposed to the person who just shows up and expects everyone to speak English. I have had friends ask locals for help in English and not get any response from the locals, and when I ask for help using even a poor version of the local language, I've had locals respond to me in English. So showing the locals a little respect by knowing even a few local phrases can go a long way.
- Consider traveling with a friend if possible. Having a wingman can come in handy sometimes, and can make the whole trip more enjoyable.
- There are organized dating tours that you can consider as well for some of these countries – but they have their pros and cons. On the positive side, they often organize everything for you including a couple of mixers to meet local women and setting you up with dates with local women along with translation services if needed. On the downside, some believe that the services are expensive, but it's the whole convenience versus expense dilemma. Do it yourself and save money or pay a little extra and have everything set up for you. If you decide to go this route, we recommend you use the team at A Foreign Affair. They are the number one foreign introduction service and they are real pros with deep trust and experience in Asia.
Even though Blasian couples in Asia are small in number today, they are starting to increase as more Blacks visit Asia in various capacities. Also the internet and travel prices have made it much easier for Blacks and Asians to meet online and arrange Asian visits after some time. These trends will only increase with time, and similar to what is happening with Asian and Black relationships in the US, the perceived walls will start to come down as there are more and more interactions in Asia between Blacks and Asians. Asian cities and countries which already have multi-cultural populations and / or already have a more global orientation are leading the way in Blasian couple relationships. These types of cities tend to be the best places to start in Asia. Obviously if you are visiting Asia for relationship purposes, you should use the internet, communication tools, and your network to optimize your visits to Asia. While Blasian couples in Asia are starting to grow from very small numbers, Blasian couples are already the 3rd fastest growing interracial couple mix in America – see this prior post on What's Driving The Growth of Blasian Couples for more details on Blasian couple growth in the US. It will take time to see big numbers in Asia, but Blasian couple relationships in Asia are much more possible today than many people think.
Everyone will have their own unique experiences when it comes to dealing with Blasian couple relationships in Asia, and as always, we welcome you sharing your experiences in the comments. Also, feel free to share your comments below.
Good luck to everyone!

I think Laura started out trying to change the world, but later realized it wasn't going to work, at least not in the way that she envisioned. I still kind of hope that what I do will make a difference, but it's no longer a motivational factor. I don't know if it was a culmination of things I had read bubbling to the surface or what, but the question that the universe or my higher self posed to me when I was in a suicidal depression about all of this was, "When you strip away all of the factors, all of your reasons, what remains? Are you light or are you darkness?" Somewhat anticlimactically, I didn't really have an answer. It did start to change my relationship with reality, over a period of years, probably still ongoing. It probably sounds a little clichéd, but it's not an understanding that can be conveyed intellectually through writing. From an outsider's perspective, I probably just looked like some kid who had issues, but on the inside it was rather profound.
Yes, I did begin with the rather naive idea that if people just had a decent, reasoned argument presented to them, the lightbulb would go on, and they would see and change. That's why The Wave is so long and has so much material brought in to help with the arguments. And I guess it DOES work for some people, but a lot fewer than I had hoped for.
After awhile, when I realized that there were more people who were not capable of receiving well researched and presented information, I wanted to understand why and present that information to those who were capable of understanding it. So, I did that.
Behind it all is my own, personal drive to understand life and reality simply because it deserves to be studied and understood; I guess you can describe that as Love for all that exists. That persists in spite of the repeated disappointments, disillusionments, betrayals, etc. I guess that everything that is presented to me is something I want to know about and understand as best I can.
I guess that in my inner heart I still hope that the efforts will make a difference in some way, at some level of reality; if nothing else, that the Universe won't end without somebody caring enough to know and understand it. I'm just an ordinary, flawed human, but there's that "caring" thing inside me that won't let me go; it's bigger than I am.

Danny Ward has said he is hopeful of securing a long-term Liverpool future after his impressive cameo appearances at the end of last season.
Ward started two league games at the end of the 2015/16 campaign – against Swansea and Bournemouth – as Klopp rested first choice Simon Mignolet for our Europa League exploits. He also spent 13 games sat on the bench, as Adam Bogdan fell down the pecking order following a series of high-profile errors.
"You have to strive and aim to be at the top and hopefully I can [become Liverpool's number one]," said the 23-year-old. (Echo)
"You don't sign for a club to settle for what you've got. You've always got to try and push yourself to be the best.
"There's no frustration for me. If Liverpool want to have the best players that suit their style then I hope Karius does well."
The Welshman's performances earned him a call-up to the Welsh squad for Euro 2016, and he played in their opening game against Slovakia due to an injury to Wayne Hennessey.

Comolli discusses Henderson deal
Liverpool flying in "sprint table"
He's now on loan at Huddersfield under the tutelage of Klopp's close friend, David Wagner. He has enjoyed an impressive start to the season — his side are top of the table with eight wins and 25 points from their first eleven games. Ward has only conceded eight goals so far.

Something that I think should be done for the flash player, now that HTML 5 is gaining ground, is an inline HTML renderer that should be packaged as part of the download. Potentially it could be an optional download. I mean the core code base is already a part of the AIR packager. How hard would it be to make an external RSL that gets cached or make it part of the flash player 11 installation with a checkbox to download this in addition. If there is an update to the web kit renderer, it then flags this in the flashplayer download manager… Just a thought to make flash player 11 completely blow away. We've got 3d support, but how about a little HTML 5 renderer as part of the flash player? Please follow and like us:0

J2EE Filter that modifies a Stripes response for Velocity rendering1 Comment, ajax, html, java, stripes, velocity, by austin.
I combined Stripes and Velocity into a J2EE filter that came out to be extremely useful, so I could have Stripes/JSPs and have Velocity rendering with every request. I love the toolbox.xml concept of velocity so I couldnt live without it, but wanted to use stripes for its amazing action controller functionality. Here is a filter which modifies the stripes response and then parses the response through the Velocity Template Engine. package org.adk.java.viewfilter; import org.adk.java.locale.LocaleTool; import java.io.CharArrayWriter; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.Locale; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Set; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; import javax.servlet.Filter; import javax.servlet.FilterChain; import javax.servlet.FilterConfig; import javax.servlet.ServletContext; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.ServletRequest; import javax.servlet.ServletResponse; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession; import org.adk.java.store.StoreWebApplication; import org.adk.java.store.WebSessionBean; import org.adk.java.log.KLogger; import org.adk.java.secure.SecureRedirectorActionBean; import org.adk.java.stripes.ActionBeanUrlManager; import org.adk.java.viewfilter.tools.BaseTool; import org.adk.java.viewfilter.tools.BreadCrumbTool; import org.adk.java.viewfilter.tools.PropertyTool; import org.adk.java.viewfilter.tools.RequestTool; import org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext; import org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity; import org.apache.velocity.tools.view.XMLToolboxManager; /******************************************************************************************** * * Our basic filter, all it does is take our WebSessionBean which is a wrapper around * the current session and passes it in the request, so that all jsps and other objects * can access the data, such as the current users shopping cart, his user info, and * other pertinent details to the session for this user. * * In addition to basic session addition, we also take the content and * add in the velocity template engine so the session can be accessed from * velocity, and all content, after stripes is done with it is modified * with velocity. * * We perform the following steps: * ——————————- * *…

Grails – Making flex/java developers happy2 Comments, ajax, flex, grails, html, by austin.
I come from a myriad of development backgrounds, actually started doing C/8086 assembly back in the day. Went into playstation development, and then moved onto flash, qt c++, win 32, java, and ajax. I developed heavily in java for the last few years and stumbled upon rails – couldn't stand the syntax although I loved the power and the scaffolding. I then discovered grails and man this is like a new world. The power of ruby on rails but in a java-like syntax. The key problems I see in web development are: 1. Properly planning the development project2. Allocating enough time to do the project without shortcutting it3. Implementing the project in the time allotted4. Getting management to work with the clients to properly allocate enough time/money to spend on the lifecycle without shortcutting the features I think projects that are heavily ajax/html or flex projects can be GREATLY simplified by using grails as it writes a lot of the code for you and can really make some of the back-end development which we never want to do a breeze and very integrated. The problem with writing entity beans in java is that the annotations and amount of code written pales in comparison to a grails entity bean and how simple it is to add validation, etc. I plan to do some more examples as I get more and more familiar with the grails code base.

ĐÀ NẴNG — Microsoft Việt Nam and this central city have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on a business start-up support programme in Đà Nẵng.
Vice-chairman of the city's people's committee Võ Duy Khương said the MoU was part of Microsoft Viet Nam's start-up support programme called "CLAS Expara Startup Accelerator."
Following the agreement signed in HCM City last week, Microsoft Việt Nam will support individuals and organisations in the city in developing the capacity of their business start-ups.
The central city established its Entrepreneurship Support Company last year to help young people develop opportunities and ideas for starting a business.
Director of Microsoft Viet NamVũ Minh Trí said the MoU was a result of their longstanding co-operation to support young individuals and groups in the central region.
Đà Nẵng is also collecting the names of 100 individuals and groups as "seeds" for start-up business programmes.
The city educates 80,000 students, of which nearly 23,000 graduate from colleges every year.
In 2014, Microsoft Việt Nam and the Đà Nẵng University jointly debuted the Information Technology (IT) Academy, the first-ever IT training centre to meet international standards in the central and Central Highlands regions.
The academy aims to set up a data centre on a private cloud, provide Microsoft 365 applications to educational centres in the region and boost the university's Software Development Centre as a Microsoft-authorised education reseller and member of the Microsoft IT Academy. — VNS

TOP: Nordstrom // BOTTOMS: AG (similar here) // SHOES: Marc Fisher // BAG: Cult Gaia // SUNGLASSES: Karen Walker (dupes here)
This top is life! It's the most flattering off the shoulder top that I own. There's a built in bra and the fit is spot on. I'm wearing a small, but I'd size up if you have a bigger bust. The sage color is so pretty and pops even more with white denim. I've been wearing jeans a lot because spring in Colorado isn't exactly like spring in the south. It's actually suppose to snow Saturday, ugh. Before I ramble on, I want to let yall know that my Cult Gaia back is available for preorder! A little tip, wait for the email subscription to pop up to get %15 off your first purchase. This past weekend when I was visiting my friend Lena, I had so many people ask me what my bag was. They were confused on whether or not it was a bag, lol. With that said, I had a lot of sweet comments on how awesome and unique it looked. I'm still thinking about getting another one in a color. While I was visiting, we were also so eager to dress up in our spring clothes for our days out. Even though it was probably not the best time to wear spring clothes, we did anyway. We got a few looks, but oh well, lol.

Therapeutic Fostering
We believe that wherever possible children and young people should be fostered therapeutically to support them through the difficulties they have experienced.
Therapy means different things to different people, and many imagine therapy to be an individual session with a qualified therapist.
This traditional experience of therapy is important for some children to help them recover from trauma, but being fostered therapeutically means being cared for by foster carers who have been helped to think about their foster child's behaviour in therapeutic way.
We are indebted to Dan Hughes and Kim Golding, authors of 'Creating Loving Attachments: Parenting with PACE' which is helping Fostering People to support our foster carers to care therapeutically.
Their work provides a model that parents and carers can follow to incorporate love, play, acceptance, curiosity and empathy into their day to day parenting.
Through their many years of experience, Dan Hughes and Kim Golding have established that these elements are vital to a child's development, especially for children who have experienced attachment difficulties and will enable children to again feel confident, secure and happy.
Fostering with PACE
Working with PACE our carers are able to better understand children's experiences, helping to achieve greater patience and understanding of behaviour and therefore helping our carers to respond to negative behaviour rather than react to it. For children in our care, PACE helps children to develop trust and become more receptive to the guidance, love and support of their carers.
We are fortunate in that Kim Golding has provided training to our social workers to support this approach and as foster carers you are able to access "Reflect groups" run by a qualified therapist that promote this style of parenting and enable foster carers to learn and help each other.

Natural remedies for winter skin care are perhaps the best way to care for skin in colder months. Skin becomes drier in winter months as the weather turns colder. The chilly winter weather can wreak havoc on the skin, leaving it dry and flakey. Natural products are better for the environment and for your health. Before you reach for that store-bought lotion or moisturizer you want to try some natural, chemical-free alternatives. This winter the best moisturizers for your skin might be found right in your kitchen's pantry.
Honey is one of nature's best moisturizer. Cleopatra was famous for her milk and honey baths and for good reason. Honey's natural properties make it a great humectant. Humectants are good for drawing in and retaining moisture. This keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized. Using honey in winter months will soothe and hydrate even the driest skin. Another great thing about honey is that it's also full of natural antioxidants. This makes honey a great ingredient to include in homemade moisturizing and anti-aging recipes.[1365]
Olive Oil
Olive Oil is another great natural skin moisturizer. Olive oil is a great natural ingredient to use on your skin in the winter months because it seals in moisture and forms a protective barrier between your skin and the harsh winter weather. Natural properties in olive oil make it great for moisturizing skin without making it greasy. Besides being a great moisturizer olive oil is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and has many great beauty benefits. The main vitamins in olive oil are vitamins A and E. Vitamin E is a staple in many beauty products, especially those that are aimed at healing scars and blemishes. The vitamin E in olive oil is great at soothing and healing dry cracked winter skin. The antioxidants in olive oil are good for promoting cell regeneration and help to get rid of dead skin cells. [1366]
Shea Butter
Shea Butter is a must have natural ingredient for year round usage. Natural Shea butter is a thick skin moisturizer that won't clog pores. It has great moisturizing properties and like Olive oil, Shea butter is made up of Vitamins A and E. Shea butter also has Vitamins F and good for you fats. The beauty benefits of Shea butter are numerous which is why it is often found in many lotions, and face creams. Shea butter can be used, with great results on hair and skin and is gentle enough for your face. Using Shea butter as winter approaches will keep your skin moisturized and prevent it from drying out. If you suffer from dry winter skin, Shea butter will help soften dry damaged skin and restore your skin's natural elasticity and prevent painful cracks. [1367]
Battling winter skin doesn't have to put a strain on your wallet. Incorporating these natural skin moisturizers into your current winter skin care regimen will have your skin ready to show off when its time to pull out the shorts and sundresses.

This is a very weak instrument. A friend of mine once called it the world's slowest bear market.
XAGUSD is in a downtrend. It crashed on Aug 24th, unlike XAUUSD which rallied. In fact it made a 6-year low of $13.98 on that date. It is not a safe haven metal like gold, and fundamentally, production is increasing whilst demand decreases[1] In the short term, it will probably rise in the current channel to $16.50 but then come down again.
How far down can it go? Looking at the 20 year chart, there does appear to be some support around here, and perhaps this $14 price is a permanent low. I would however, wait until the price hits $14 again before buying (a double bottom). In the meantime, allow the metal to creep to the top of this downward channel and short it. Longs to get to the channel point are possible, as the metal moves so slowly, but I would not recommend.
If the price breaks down again, due to fundamentals, below, say $12.50, then after some resistance around the $8, it is perfectly feasible for the metal to hit the price it was for the last 20 years of the last century, viz. $4.50 per ounce.
Remember mining and recycling technology are the enemy of metal prices. And technology only goes in one direction.
Incidentally, the 20 year chart for silver looks a bit like the Rodrigue bubble chart. World's slowest bubble which does appear to have reverted to mean.

Publicis Groupe 2014 digital greeting. After hacking the YouTube functionality last year with Digital Wishes for 2013, Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Lévy is back again with a new year corporate speech that features 2 Chinese dragons, a confetti storm, cheerleaders and much more.
