Nothing is more important than security when it comes to our mobile devices – it was needed long before the private and sensitive information was added that we carry on our smartphones today. Programs to access bank accounts, credit card numbers stored for easy access, eBay, Amazon, and PayPal logins to name a few, are routinely carried around with us. We need to be sure that our information will not be compromised, especially the older generation – I guess they have more to lose – if companies expect the more mature person to use their smartphone for banking transactions. Even my wife will not use her smartphone for online banking…she barely trusts it on her PC.
Our source claims that researchers are saying that the majority of devices running Google's Android OS are susceptible to hacks that can allow malicious apps to bypass the standard security. They cannot only steal our credentials, but also read emails and access sensitive payment history information. Bluebox Security said this situation or bug has existed since Android 2.1 in early 2010 and called it the Fake ID. Just as a person with a fake ID can sneak into a bar, these malicious apps can go places that should be off limits to them. According to researchers, Google has fixed some of the vulnerability in their more recent updates to Android, however, the underlying bug remains unpatched even in Android 4.4 and even in the newest Android 'L,' which they have not yet released.
Apparently, Google has some elite class of "super privileged programs," that do not need to verify the chain of certificates for authenticity. If a malicious app includes an invalid certificate, but claims it is Flash, Wallet or another app hard coded into Android, the OS will give that rogue app the same special privileges assigned to a legitimate app. Changes in Android 4.4 limit some privileges Android allows for Flash, but the underlying problem still existed. Jeff Forristal, CTO of Bluebox Security, told Ars, "All it really takes is for an end user to choose to install this fake app, and it's pretty much game over. The Trojan horse payload will immediately escape the sandbox and start doing whatever evil things it feels like, for instance, stealing personal data."
A spokesperson for Google said, "We appreciate Bluebox responsibly reporting this vulnerability to us; third-party research is one of the ways Android is made stronger for users. After receiving word of this vulnerability, we quickly issued a patch that was distributed to Android partners, as well as to AOSP. Google Play and Verify Apps have also been enhanced to protect users from this issue. At this time, we have scanned all applications submitted to Google Play as well as those Google has reviewed from outside of Google Play, and we have seen no evidence of attempted exploitation of this vulnerability." It will be interesting to see if the patch really did fix this issue – Forristal has already said that they will be keeping their eye on it and run more tests in the near future. Please hook up with us on our Google+ Page and let us know what you think about Android and its security – do you think Google is doing enough, especially if they expect the military or business enterprises to adopt Android…as always, we would love to hear from you.

By WILLIAM WRIGHT
NSAEN Contributing Writer
Some say a star is born every time an actor exceeds the expectations of a performance. When audiences feast their eyes on Anastasia Brosda in her breakout role as Skyla in the 2018 motion picture, Escalate, costarring Joshua Ferreira, they'll be able to decide if they're witnessing a rising star following in the footsteps of Jodie Foster, Anna Paquin and Jennifer Lawrence or perhaps the very first Oscar-worthy actress of her kind.
Cast as a kind and considerate girl who gains the trust of an angry and depressed boy, Brosda said she is excited about her role and her future in films.
"The most exhilarating character that I have brought to life is, 'Skyla,'" Brosda said. "Skyla is a compassionate girl who has a strong connection with God. She meets a struggling, angry teenage boy who learns to trust her. The movie has a very powerful message and I enjoyed being on set with such a talented cast and crew.
I'm also excited about my supporting role as 'Jamie' in the film "Summer of My Discontent," which will also be released in 2018. It's a feature film produced by Rinky Dink Productions, Ltd., and directed by award-winning writer David A. Haines."
When asked what type of actress she would like to be known as, Brosda responded, "I think of myself as an actress who is very adaptable. I have a natural comedic side, but I can play dramatic and even melodramatic very well. I also enjoy supernatural fiction and horror fiction. A good actress doesn't accept labels and is versatile. I can bring any character to life and I can show many different sides of a character. Often, when you slip into a character the character does not have one explicit emotion. I love being able to prompt different reactions through one character."
As a recipient of the President's Award for Educational Excellence honoring her outstanding academic achievements, the 14-year-old actress is serious about her education and acting career.
She said, "Every day is a new gift that I look forward to. I look forward to learning from those around me, to improve my skills and therefore my craft. Be it other talented artists, mentors, coaches or my parents. I am rising by learning every single day from those with more experience. My parents support my ambitions and assist with their knowledge and advice. It is so incredibly significant to have people in your life that believe in you. For me, those individuals are my parents."
When discussing her favorite performances, Brosda explained, "I really like undergoing the dramatic side! Though comedy does arise naturally, so does drama. The difference between the two is the meaning behind the storyline. I feel that dramas have more of a sensation that one can relate to — a powerful message. Comedy is a performance, which I absolutely love doing! Also, when an actor has a message to convey to the audience it feels as if your character has a purpose, which many can relate to."
Born in Sarasota, Fla., she is the daughter of Alexander and Katerina Brosda. Her younger sibling, Sebastian, is a sports model. They grew up in Miami Beach, where she started to take ballet classes at age six, at the Miami City Ballet School Children's Division. She is a member of the International Thespian Society and has been involved in the performing arts most of her young life, appearing Off-Broadway in Miami's "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Musical" as Willy Wonka, and as Grace Farrell in the stage production of "Annie."
In 2018, Brosda will premiere on the silver screen with all eyes watching to see if this rising young star will gradually take her place among the acting elite and the stars of tomorrow.

George Orwell was right.
An app released by the Chinese Communist Party earlier this year has been found to have virtually unlimited access to the data on a user's Android smartphone—and the consequences are horrifying, reports the Washington Post.
The app, called "Study the Great Nation," was released by the Chinese Communist Party back in January, and by April Chinese state media said it had become the most downloaded app in China, with over 100 million downloads.
The "Study the Great Nation" app has what's known as "superuser" access on Android devices. As the Washington Post explains, such status is essentially a free-for-all backdoor for the app's developers, in this case the Chinese Communist Party, to do and see anything they want to on the user's phone.

Pretty much every UK festival have announced their line-ups, and Leeds Festival fans have been waiting with baited breath for the last few months, but FINALLY we now know who'll be heading to Bramham Park over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
And unfortunately it's not as thrilling as we'd have hoped. With no Glastonbury or V Festival happening this year, we were looking at some pretty massive names for Leeds Festival 2018. We've had Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and KENDRICK LAMAR pegged as headliners for some time now – one out of three ain't so bad.
It seems like those fake posters were aiming a little high with the headliners and it's surprising to see acts like FALL OUT BOY, PANIC! AT THE DISCO, KINGS OF LEON up there in the bigger font. Panic! as headliners? Really?
It'll be great to see Kings Of Leon again – their headlining show in 2000 was excellent – and to have Kendrick Lamar back on the Main Stage will be sweet.
Still, the festival is never about the headliners for us – we're much happier wandering between the NME/Radio 1 tent and the Festival Republic tent – and there are some pretty decent acts announced today.
DUA LIPA, SIGRID and PALE WAVES will be ones to watch, and we loved THE MAGIC GANG last year, so there's them. For rock fans, we've got nu-metal stalwarts PAPA ROACH, pop punkers SUM 41, hardcore lot BEARTOOTH and goth-punks CREEPER.
Gotta love WOLF ALICE back at leeds Festival – a Main Stage debut for them? Here's hoping. And we almost skipped past alt-rock icons BELLY – taking it back to the 90s!
Dance, hip-hop and grime are nicely represented on the line-up this year with SKEPTA, POST MALONE, J HUS, SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD,the awesome BROCKHAMPTON, DJ HANNAH WANTS and WRETCH 32.
There are plenty more acts yet to be announced, so keep your peepers peeled as the line-up gets bigger and better.
As a latecomer to the summer festival announcement party, their efforts have fallen a little short this year. Will they sell plenty of tickets from this announcement? Time will tell. What do you think?
Tickets are on sale now – £205 (plus booking fee) for a weekend ticket. Day tickets will be released soon. Get yours from leedsfestival.com.

Monsanto Always Using Friends in High Places to Reclassify Glyphosate
A 'probably carcinogenic' herbicide
Monsanto has pressured the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) to "reassess" their best-selling herbicide, glyphosate. This came after the World Health Organization's International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) declared that Roundup (glyphosate) was 'probably carcinogenic.'
The IARC sparked a host of actions from around the world that were unfavorable for Monsanto. Large retailers stopped stocking Roundup, and even the state of California is now requiring Monsanto to put warning labels on their Round Up bottles. Yet the Big Ag company asserts that "there is no evidence of carcinogenicity" in glyphosate.
It is true that in 1986 the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations stated this in their report on pesticide residues in food:
"The chronic toxicity of glyphosate is low; the only significant toxicity seen in a number of animal bioassays was mild hepatotoxicity at high doses in mice. There is no evidence of carcinogenicity… and "Glyphosate was without mutagenic activity both in vitro and in vivo."
But the World Health Organization's IARC stated in their March 20, 2015 report, which analyzed five organophosphate pesticides, that:
"The herbicide glyphosate and the insecticides malathion and diazinon were classified as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A)."
Of course Big Ag groups have denounced the most recent announcement by the IARC.
The National Corn Growers Association and CropLife International issued statements criticizing the IARC's decision, but should we be surprised?
The National Corn Growers Association President Chip Bowling said:
"The movement to reclassify glyphosate as a class 2A probable carcinogen ignores the findings of more than four decades of credible scientific research. In doing so, this decision creates unnecessary fear and confusion over the proven safety record of this important agricultural tool."
Perhaps Mr. Bowling is missing the recent reports that Monsanto sat on information linking glyphosate to cancer for more than thirty-five years?
According to evidence unearthed from the archives of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the United States, it has come to light that Monsanto was fully aware of the potential of glyphosate to cause cancer in mammals as long ago as 1981. And one does not need to guess why the WHO only recently reassessed glyphosate's toxicity.

I've posted before about a coworker with anxiety that's so bad I literally had to go alert my boss about her slurring her way through a meeting with a Project Manager. Well... she is now "out until further notice."
Through the grapevine, yesterday our mutual grandboss* apparently said "she seems like she's on something". And late yesterday I intercepted a call from HR for grandboss (ahhh, rollover phones!) and I'm guessing it was about that.
We are so short staffed and I hope colleague is going to be okay and will eventually be back. If anyone needs me, I'll be at my desk b/c I just got assigned a bunch of her workload.
Deep breaths...
*I kinda hate this term but if it's good enough for Ask A Manager, it's good enough for me.

If Kessler Pie Co. is doing it right, your Instagram feed will be blowing up with pics from their Drake wall this summer.
The Oak Cliff-based pie bakery won a three-month pop-up shop in Victory Park through a contest from Houston-based NextSeed.
After they won, they had two weeks to finish out their space at 2404 Victory Park Lane.
They installed palm-leaf wallpaper, a front counter, coolers and a lounge area in the front of the store.
For a pocket at the back, they riffed off their Valentine's Day pie with the "God's Plan" lyrics, "I only love my bed and my mama."
The pop-up, which is open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday, serves pie-in-a-jar as well as whole pies and pie-by-the-slice.
The menu includes all of the pies from the shop's Oak Cliff location as well as two new ones: A key-lime pie and a strawberry pie.
The shop will be open into September.

I brought up this topic about a year ago and have also seen others here who said they experienced the same. Sometimes when I meditate or are relaxed and falling asleep, I will see faces that are presented to me. They appear to me like flashcards where I see each one for a quick second before it switches to another. The faces are mostly emotionless and ones that I have never seen before. I usually see 15-20 faces before my mind moves on. I have always wondered why I see faces and what the meaning is. And then I came across the below article that talks about spirit attachment and spirits crossing our plane. I thought I would share this and see what all of you think?
Seeing Faces When Falling Asleep
Crystals help for me as well. Using them on my crown or third eye makes it more likely that I will see something. Do you ever see images of anyone you know that has passed? In my case I do not. And I never see the same face twice. The above article suggested spirit attachment was the cause of seeing faces. But perhaps you are right that we are just accessing that world.

I have had my mother visit me in a dream a while back. It wasn't your every day usual dream, but an actual visitation. Different kinds of dreams have different feels. It was great to see her and know she made it ok....she was very afraid of dying. I woke up so happy to know I had seen her one last time She hasn't visited my dreams since but on occasion I do know she's near. Getting off topic here, lol

.Me to I see things when I close my eyes, some times more instense than other times, sometimes even with the eyes open. its nlt only faces, but all kind of picures, most of the time moving, like a film.
I sometimes think its a kind of connection to some kind of information stream being out there.
@chrisis :
Interesting. I also have that happen sometimes where I am watching a silent movie in my mind while meditating or close to drifting off to sleep. No sound and often it appears in black and white and looks like an old time movie. And it's usually just a casual scene of people at a social gathering. I can never find any meaning.

Here is my take and its happened to me in the past not any more. When you fall asleep you go through layers of consciousness and places. What you are seeing is mostly your tasks and tasks helpers waiting for you. Its nothing bad just that you can perceive this now. It happens to all of us. Some people see unpleasant faces when going through, shall we say bad neighborhoods. Eventually you learn to zip right through fast enough that its like taking a bath.

Hello hop-daddy! I read the blog as you have mentioned. These situations may occur due to any past incident. Similar problem was with one of my friends, she took expert advice from voyante sérieuse . A psychic can connect with spirit, who can explain why you have been going through this.

In my dreams, I also see new faces of people I have never seen or met before. Somehow I feel so attached and drawn to them. They always have important roles in my dreams.
It sucks though that I never remember what my dream was all about once I wake up. Their faces all end up in a blur when I try to remember.

I hear voices. Snippets of conversation. That happens when I'm winding down. And in the morning before I get out of bed I will see clear tableaus and/or visions in front of me. Usually three distinct images. Like today's was a peacock, followed by an empty box, followed by two ropes coiled together. I will try to interpret these visions/tableaus if I feel they are important for me or someone else. Otherwise I will let them go.
You sound clairaudient like me. I usually hear a conversation in whispers and can't really make out what is being said. It usually happens when I walk into a room real fast. It's as if I interrupted a meeting where several whispering voices are discussing something. And as soon as I enter the whispers die down. I'm trying to find ways to improve my clairaudient skills so that I make out what is being said better. Aside from occasional whispers I hear ringing and sometimes music (like old time big band music). It's also common for me to hear a non-living voice and smell something as well (like cigar smoke, perfume, even body odor).
Like you, my psychic stuff works best when my mind is relaxed and I'm focused on any personal thoughts. I don't get much when I wake up (probably because I'm busy with thoughts about my schedule for the day). But I do often get visions and signs and flashcard faces as I fall asleep.
Your vision like the one you noted sounds a lot like your guides are sending you signals. The trick will be to try to interpret them. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

They are whispering voices, or distinct, louder voices, snatches of conversation. I don't see visual cues when I hear this though. And on the other hand, my visions are silent. I have had scent prompts too. Mostly floral scents. Or a scent very similar to ozone or green grass or rain. Most of this happens to me while I'm doing something else not trying to tune in or experience. When it does happen though I do stop and try to decipher.
Music ran through my head for years. Melodies from songs, or random tones. 24/7 except when I was asleep. Only now have I gained the ability to shut it off. As my empath skills grew the noise in my head quieted.
Same here. It only works when I am clear headed. There are no visual clues (although I normally only hear ghosts anyway and very rarely see them). And now that you mention it, I lately have been smelling a burning metallic smell. That is probably similar to what you experience as ozone. And then a couple crazy times where ghosts are calling my name across an empty house. But they are doing it in the exact voice of my wife, Dad, or son. But I'll be alone at home. And then I had a lady ghost humming a nice song in my kitchen not long ago. My dogs were all freaked out but I felt very calm and serene when hearing it. The bummer is that as soon as I investigate the voices always stop as I enter the room.

Yoga for Cancer: Alternative Therapy
Before we discuss how yoga can benefit a mesothelioma patient, first we have to comprehend what yoga is. Yoga started 5,000+ years ago in India and is currently very popular and growing in Western nations. It is an entire body activation, including working with breathing, stretching, postures, stances and meditation. These make a concordance and harmony between your psyche, body and soul and helps clear your mind from traumatic and daily stresses.
Yoga instructors promote yoga as a method for sustaining health and preventing/counteracting sickness. They assert that the yoga stances will invigorate your sensory system, make your muscles and joints more adaptable, and help relax your brain and body. The activities joined with breathing enhance your oxygen and blood supply. Thus, helping your circulation and breathing, which promotes general wellbeing. There are around 80 common/known postures with a few unique styles of yoga including Hatha, Iyengar, and Astanga yoga. Some are very strenuous, while others are gentler on the body and focus primarily on meditation and breathing techniques.
What Yoga Includes
Clothes & Items Needed
Why Individuals With Mesothelioma & Cancer Are Choosing Yoga
Similarly, along with many alternative treatments and therapies, one of the principle reasons that mesothelioma and cancer patients are choosing yoga is because it provides a wonderful feeling, starting from within, starting from the soul. While yoga does not provide a cure for any type of cancer, yoga improves physical and emotional wellbeing.
Besides resting the mind, body, and spirit, along with enhancing circulation, flexibility, and producing energy throughout the body, tender yoga postures for cancer patients can work magic… hypothetically. When using yoga as a alternative therapy for cancer, it focuses on removing poisons collected during the traditional cancer treatments. Yoga asanas animate muscles, as well as increases blood circulation which improves the lymphatic blow flow in the body, all of which upgrades the body's inner cleansing procedures.
What Mesothelioma & Cancer Patients Are Saying
Some patients with cancer who have performed and taken yoga classes say that it quiets their mind. With this sense of calmness, it allows them to adapt better to their chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Others have proclaimed that it decreases side effects and reduces pain. For example, they are turning to yoga to appease their sleeplessness, rest issues, depression, and discomfort. Cancer patients who perform yoga as complementary therapy amid their treatment frequently allude to their yoga as the "only thing that keeps them going."
Regardless of how wiped out a mesothelioma or cancer patient is from all the medicines and treatments being administered, they seem to always find the energy to return to their yoga… regardless of how little vitality they have left. Many admit that they have found gentle, therapeutic relief by simply performing several yoga poses and relaxing their mind.
Research of Connecting Yoga with Cancer Cure
There is no scientific proof to demonstrate that yoga can cure cancer. In any case, there are a few studies that propose it helps cancer patients sleep better (which promotes healing) and it aids in coping with anxiety by calming the mind.
A few US studies, as of now, are taking a deeper look into whether yoga can decrease the physical and emotional side effects that is very common amongst cancer patients.
Precautionary Measures
If you choose to truly use yoga as a complementary therapy under the directions from a qualified educator, here are common guidelines to follow:
• Do not perform a yoga class immediately after eating. Allow at least 1.5 – 2 hours after consuming a meal.
• For safety reasons, it is recommend to not do yoga alone at your home until you've taken a couple of classes or have hired a personal instructor.
• Before starting any yoga classes for the first time, inform your instructor of any medical conditions as well as bone and joint problems.
• If you come across a stance or pose that hurts or is very difficult to perform, stop immediately let your educator know.
• Never attempt advanced stances without the help and guide of a professional yoga instructor.
• Women who are pregnant should not practice certain stances. Speak to your instructor, they will (should) know which positions are unsuitable for expecting mothers.
• Since yoga helps detoxify your body, after every yoga session, make sure to drink a lot of water!
Final Thoughts & Key Points to Take With You
By adding yoga to your treatment plan, a patient could:
- Build strength safely
- Promote flexibility which increases energy flow
- Promote wellness & immune system stimulation
- Build bone density
- Remove toxins from the body
- Empower themselves and improve their quality of life.
Whether you are a current mesothelioma cancer patient or cancer survivor; whether you are newly diagnosed or currently being administered chemotherapy and radiation; whether you are searching for an alternative therapy or looking for another way to build more strength… yoga can support your recovery and help make you strong again. Yoga cultivates blood circulation, strength, energy, flexibility, and a balance in your life during all phases of ones cancer journey. Yoga could even reveal a sense of gratitude and confidence in your life, of your life, that you have possibly not previously known existed. Yoga is peace.

Career & Personal Development (CPD) Courses
CPD courses are 1-credit hour courses offered by the Institute for Women's Studies and Services that cover a broad range of subjects ranging from developing professional skills to personal interests and goals. These courses help students develop applicable and relevant workplace skills, while priming them for their future careers.
To view course descriptions, click on the slide down panel:
Learning to manage time efficiently is a necessary skill for successful students, educators, and professionals. This course is designed to enable women and men to analyze their use of time, identify factors that contribute to wasting time, and improve use of time through better prioritizing, scheduling, and increased motivation.
In every individual's life there are numerous sources of stress. Instead of simply treating the symptoms of stress, this course will help students identify their own causes of stress and then deal with those causes prescriptively. Discussions will focus on understanding stress theory, personality attributes that contribute to stress, stress in the work environment, and relationship stress.
This course will explore the issues of self-esteem within a feminist framework, including the effects of sexism on self-worth, the role of women in a sexist society, and the tools needed to survive with a strong self-image. The goal is to apply what is learned to enhancing everyday living through an understanding of societal, familial, and self-induced pressures.
This course explores assertive behavior from a feminist point of view. The differences between passive, assertive, and aggressive behaviors are discussed. Avenues for change and tools to achieve change are identified.
This interactive workshop will help students to become aware of sexual harassment and learn how to stop and prevent it.
This course will focus on career evaluation and will assist students in acquiring the skills and attitudes to plan effectively for and manage the changes which they will experience during their work lives.
This course will empower students with tools to attain their own personal sense of well-being. It will address wellness as a multilevel process consisting of emotional, cognitive, somatic, and spiritual components. The workshop will include information, experiential exercises, and process work. Group work and journal keeping will also be used to bridge the communication gap between the self and others.
The economic and social circumstances of women's lives in the United States often place them in a different material and psychological relationship to money and issues surrounding money than men. This course will review a variety of issues women face when planning for the future, as well as some of the tools used to build a secure future.
This is an internship preparation course for students from any department without a pre-internship class in their curriculum. Students will develop a plan for finding an internship site and learn the skills needed to successfully obtain the internship. They will research potential employers, write a resume and cover letter, and develop interviewing skills. Students will also reflect on the process of finding an internship in their field and develop goals and learning objectives for their placement.
This course will examine the various roles, models, and guiding principles of women in leadership. The discussions will be intentionally interactive as students share their own experience of women's leadership ranging from traditional to unconventional. Students will identify the values most clearly associated with women's leadership crossculturally and read diverse women's experiences in their communities. Each student will interview a woman whom they deem to be in a leadership role, though not necessarily a formal position, and will present his or her findings to the class. All class members will reflect on their own leadership values in relation to the course material.
This course will begin by examining the psychological tools needed to defend oneself and will gradually move into the actual, physical skills necessary to survive, escape, avoid and/or resist violence. The Women's Empowerment Model will be presented. This model emphasizes self-respect, an understanding of one's inalienable human rights, and the determination and ability to protect those rights. Students will learn self-defense against verbal and physical assaults by becoming more aware, assertive and skilled in physical resistance techniques. Using interactive exercises, students will practice both verbal and physical self-defense skills. All ability levels are welcome, but the class is extremely physical; thus, students should come prepared to move.
This course provides the opportunity for Individualized Degree Program (IDP) students to synthesize the interdisciplinary learning they have done for their major/minor. Participants will analyze the transformative outcomes of their IDP experiences to prepare for post-graduate possibilities such as interviews, internships, graduate school applications, etc. In addition to a preliminary face-to-face meeting and a final culminating presentation session, students will participate online by responding to readings, discussion posts, and orchestrating an informational interview.
In this course students acquire skills for success and persistence at MSU Denver. Students will receive a grade which can help boost their overall GPA. The course will cover topics such as: MSU Denver online tools (i.e. Degree Works, Blackboard, Student Hub, SSC Guide); financial literacy and money management; academic and career planning; goal setting, time management and study skills; MSU Denver academic and social support services. There will be a writing component of this course that requires students to use the Writing Center and refine their writing skills.
This is a preparatory course for students from any major who want to engage in an undergraduate research experience. Focus will be on how to identify research opportunities, design research projects, prepare research abstracts and presentations, and give a presentation on research. Students will learn how and where to add their undergraduate research experience and skills on resumes and graduate/professional school applications.

Zzzzz… Has your audience stopped listening?
Do you spend most of your time wishing for the days of old, where your audience waited with baited breath to hear what would come out of your camp next? Are you sad to see engagement with your content slowly dwindling, like a B-list movie stars' career?
Then you probably want to get your mojo back. Desperately.
Here's how you get it.
Ask: "What Went Wrong?"
To reinvigorate your once-captive audience, you need to know why you lost them in the first place, lest the mistakes of the past repeat themselves. It's time to stare into the coffee rings on your desk and ask the question you've been too scared to say out loud: "Why did we lose them?".
This might make a nice soundtrack while you read this section:
You may be tempted to rattle off a completely unhelpful answer like, "Our content got boring." Don't. That doesn't actually mean anything, and will lead you to do stupid things like throw a three-ring content circus with whatever topics sound the most exciting. Yuck.
You need to know what made your content boring. In my experience, it's any one (or several) of the following:
1. The audience no longer relates
We consume content that is relevant to our needs and interests; content that answers our questions to give us what we came looking for – whether education, entertainment or to be taken on a journey with a story we care about. If your audience is bored, perhaps it's because you stopped talking about the things they care about and started talking about what you thought they should care about (or yourself).
The fix: It's time to revisit two things: Your content ideation process, and your personas.
Your content ideation process shouldn't be ad hoc, chucking up "cool ideas" in a meeting room. The result is a list of topics you only hope people care about. Use tools like Reddit, Quora, forums, surveys and Yahoo! Answers to see what's being talked about. Ask your sales team what the most common questions they're being asked are. Or, my favourite – take a client for a beer and pick their brain about the things they like (lateral ideas can be the best kind).
Your personas may need to be revisited if your offering has changed or your personas have undergone a serious shift in thinking/need-states. This is less often the case, but still worth considering if you haven't updated your research in awhile.
2. The Content is No Longer Relevant
Similar to the last point, but different. Tastes and perspectives evolve across time; technology improves, politics shift, best practices change. If your audience no longer tunes in to hear what you have to say, it might be relevant to an interest they once had (or maybe still do), but the times have changed and there are newer, more interesting ways to talk about it.
The fix: Just like the above, it's time to go to where people are talking about the kinds of things you offer to see where public opinion rests and whether or not you're still current.
An analysis of how successful competitors are engaging their audiences can yield results too; just be careful not to blindly copycat. Take note of thecontent format (video, written word, podcast), tone, voice and subject matter of the content their customers have engaged the most with.
3. You're Making too Much Noise
Ever think that maybe your audience just got tired of trying to keep up with the reams of content you were publishing? It's possible that in attempts to produce "enough" content, you produced so much that the great stuff got buried in the "OK" stuff, and your audience just got tired of going hunting for it. It's also possible you beat your audience over the head with your content, over-sharing to the point that they no longer cared how good your content was, they just wanted you to shut up.
The fix: Shut up. Okay, not really, but it's time to re-evaluate your publishing schedule and social media activity. Consider scaling back to place emphasis on fewer, stronger pieces published on a regular schedule, and devote more time to promoting this small body of work.
4. Infrequency
This is the polar opposite of making too much noise. Did you simply stop publishing or drastically reduce your output? It's not that more content is better, but if you've become sporadic or inconsistent with your publishing schedule, your audience may not know when to expect your next piece (or if you're even still alive).
The fix: Create a documented and deadlined editorial calendar (being careful not to rush that whole "strategy" part). Ignore outside metrics that say you should be publishing daily (or multiple times a day) and instead choose a schedule you know your business can stick to and manage.
5. Inconsistency
Does your content suffer from a lack of consistency in voice and tone? Have you started throwing out uncharacteristically solemn/funny content? Are you suddenly talking about topics nobody expected you to be talking about? As soon as you start getting schizophrenic on people, they begin to wonder if they should stay tuned in. A wandering focus or lack of internal process are two of the biggest causes for content inconsistency – something you can change with a healthy dose of documentation.
The fix: Documentation and enforcement of a style guide. You need to have a reference document for everyone who will be creating your content to draw from. You need someone in charge of QA who has a deep understanding of your branding and the goals you're trying to accomplish. Don't just write a style guide, send it and forget it – enforce it through editing and revisions until everyone has learned what works.
6. Lack of Promotion
If you're still producing at the same quality level, for the same audience, with the same voice, then lack of promotion could be your culprit. If you've cut back on your targeted promotional efforts (different than "making noise"), then perhaps it's not your content's fault – perhaps your audience simply isn't finding the great things you're creating any more.
The fix: Invest just as much attention into developing a content promotion strategy as you do creating your content. Take time to compile a list of allies, advocates, influencers and hubs where you can reach out to spread the word. Keep owned media promotion consistent (for example, keep a scheduled e-mail newsletter update and don't drop it).
poll the audience
You can analyze this yourself, but if at all possible, ask members of your audience why they stopped paying attention. Be personal, direct and interested – this is not the kind of question you try to pump out a mass-response e-mail for.
The insights you gain from looking outside of yourself will be well worth the investment.
Ask: What Went Right?
Done beating yourself up? Good. Now it's time to relive your glory days – the golden era when you had the audience's ear. When you were having… the time of your life.
Take stock of all of the content you created, both onsite and off. First, define meaningful KPIs for determining engagement for the various content types. These will vary between types of content and the intended business goals of that content.
- Page views/Unique page views
- Downloads
- Shares/Likes/+1s (you might also consider WHO shared them and which pieces reached the ears of the most influential people)
- Time on Site
- Links
- Mentions
- Subscriptions (or subscriptions driven)
- Video views
- Conversions
- Sales
With your KPIs defined, you're armed to create a weighted "score sheet" to see where your previous pieces found success.
You can quickly compile a list of URLs using Screaming Frog and export them to excel for any content published on your own site. You can use BuzzSumo to analyze the popularity of recent posts, and look back on Topsy to see a bit of social media history. And, obviously, analytics will be a huge tool here.
Go beyond the numbers and probe into WHY certain pieces of content did better than others, asking questions like:
- Who did this reach, and how?
- Was there a key influencer or hub responsible for sparking major interaction?
- Does this piece better answer a customer's questions than other work?
- Was this piece better laid out or formatted?
And so on. You want to look for common factors across your successful pieces. Categorizing and labelling these factors in Excel is a good place to start.
You'll also want to establish a timeline as to when things started going south, then look back on your organization to see what changes were made around that time. Did you switch content creators? Amp up? Slow down? These are questions only you can answer.
Next, categorize the different pieces of content by where they fall in the customer's buying cycle:
- Top-of-funnel: Pieces intended to create awareness/spark new leads
- Mid-funnel: Pieces designed to nurture leads and help them towards a purchase decision
- Bottom-of-funnel: Pieces designed to close the deal, or reinforce a positive experience/new purchase after the original one.
This is going to give you a birds' eye view of potential holes in your content where your engaged audience is finding there's nothing to help them in their time of need.
Improve Content & Plug Gaps
With the information you've compiled, you should have a roadmap toward recapturing your lost market. By asking "What went wrong?", you can identify the source(s) of disengagement. By asking "What have we done right?", you can pull from past successes and recreate them.
And by mapping out your content, you should be able to see clear and obvious gaps in your content where people are trickling out of the funnel because there's nothing to keep them inside of it. Combining all that information, you can create content to plug up that gap with something you know will be a success.
Don't Just React!
Though a lost audience is a high-stress situation, the worst thing you can do is reactively start trying to pull any and all of the levers to see if they will do anything. Remember that once you've earned the audience's attention again, you want to be able to keep it over the long-term; not just for a few fleeting minutes.
That doesn't happen by blasting out content and praying for uptake.
You need a plan.
Knowing what you do now, it's time to revisit your strategy and communicate it to your internal teams to get them all on board. That may mean updates to documentation or a few "Stand-up" meetings to discuss the issue and your proposed solution.
It's time to confirm your personas are as on-target as they used to be (or fixing them so they're more on target than they were).
You need accountability; you need to put people in charge of making sure the audience is staying tuned in and alerting the troops the minute they start seeing engagement trends they don't like. Monitoring on an ongoing basis is time consuming, but can help you avoid looking up months from now and going "Dang, we're here again."
You can get your mojo back (yeah, baby!)
Don't give up! A lost audience isn't lost to you forever. Take your time to do the analysis and build a plan for recovery, and you'll be shakin' and shimmyin' on top of the world all over again.

With the development of the pharmaceutical market, Ambien became widely available online. Quality generic insomnia drug is offered without a prescription, which means that the patient will have to take care of the therapy. Check the safety directions and similar factors before you start the intake of the remedy. Contact the representatives of the customer support to make sure the drug is fully safe for you and will not trigger unwanted results.
Issues to Mind during Treatment
Administer Ambien right in accordance with the safety recommendations and intake directions. Never change the prescription or general intake recommendations, as it may lead to devastating health problems and life-threatening reactions. Ambien doses for males and females may vary, so you need to get qualified medical assistance beforehand.
If you buy Ambien online, you need to learn all the details of the patient information and medication guides. The ingredients of the remedy may be habit-forming, so it is necessary to avoid possible drug misuse, overdose, addiction, and death. The remedy should be administered only in case you have 7-8 hours to sleep.
The sudden stop of medication use can result in dangerous withdrawal reactions. Ambien should not be used longer than 4-5 weeks. Insomnia symptoms may bother you again after you stop Ambien use. Contact the medical specialist and get the necessary instructions for further actions.
Warnings, Restrictions and Similar Safety Precautions
Never order Ambien online or buy it in the local drugstore unless you are confident about its safety. Patients, who are sensitive to Zolpidem or other components of the remedy, should avoid its use. Ambien is not safe for patients under 18 years old.
To eliminate its drastic influence on the organism and guarantee safety, a patient should start the treatment course with the minimal effective dose, especially if he/she is diagnosed with any of the following issues:
Ambien and Other Drugs: Possible Side Effects and Misuse Risks
Keep in mind the safety recommendations for Ambien use if you want to avoid its misuse reactions. Severe allergic reactions and dangerous psychological disorders can be caused by Ambien misuse.

Instant Pot Cream Of Mushroom Soup
Instant Pot Cream Of Mushroom Soup
- 32oz (2 lbs) of Baby Bella (Crimini) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of salted butter
- 1 tbsp of Sherry cooking wine
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 5 cups of mushroom or chicken broth (I used 2 tbsp of Mushroom Better Than Bouillon + 5 cups of water, which I STRONGLY suggest you use if possible but, if not, the chicken broth will do just fine!)
- 2 tsp of dried thyme, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 tbsp of crushed garlic
- 1 tbsp of seasoned salt (make sure it's seasoned salt)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Truffle oil, a few drops for garnish (optional)
Again, if you can't find or don't want to purchase Mushroom Better Than Bouillon online, you can absolutely use chicken broth/Chicken Better Than Bouillon in its place and it will be just as delicious. The mushroom base just really sets it over the edge with a rich mushroom flavor is all!
Want even more mushrooms? Okay! Add in 8-16oz more if you wish! BUT if you do this, I would suggest reserving the additional mushrooms BEFORE puréeing in Step 3 otherwise the purée could be overkill. Simply add these additional in-tact mushrooms back with the other reserved shrooms in Step 7.
So why do we reserve some of the mushrooms anyway? Well, because we want the soup to have some full mushrooms to munch on while eating the soup. Otherwise it will be a full mushroom purée, which some may love, but I like a few full-bodies mushrooms to stand out in there.
If you want the soup even thicker, add in 2 tbsp of cornstarch + 2 tbsp of water to form a slurry and add it in JUST AFTER puréeing with the immersion blender but BEFORE you add in the reserved mushrooms and heavy cream. Bring the pot to a simmer using "Sauté," let bubble for 2 minutes and then turn the pot to the "Keep Warm" position. Once the bubbles die down, THEN add in the reserved mushrooms and heavy cream.
- Place the butter in the Instant Pot and hit "Sauté" and Adjust so it's on the "More" or "High" setting.
- Once the butter's melted, add in all the mushrooms, coat well with the butter and let cook (while stirring occasionally) for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes of cooking, add in the Sherry and continue to cook the mushrooms for another 5 minutes (you'll notice they will have cooked down significantly and released a lot of liquid).
- Using a slotted spoon, reserve about 1.5 cups of the cooked mushrooms and set aside
- Add in the onions and cook for another 3 minutes and then add the flour and coat with mushrooms and onions (I suggest using a wooden spoon to do this since flour likes to stick to plastic and metal). Once combined, you'll see that the flour will have soaked up all of the liquid
- As soon as the flour is incorporated into the mushrooms and onions, add in the mushroom (or chicken) broth, thyme and garlic. Stir well, secure the lid and hit "Keep Warm/Cancel" and then hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" High Pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release when done
- Once the lid comes off, take an immersion blender (or a regular one, but an immersion blender is SO much easier for this so you don't have to transfer the soup to a blender and then back into the pot), blend everything (EXCEPT FOR the separately reserved mushrooms) in the pot together for about a minute until it's pureéd. The soup will thicken up a bit from this
- Now add in the seasoned salt, the reserved mushrooms (leaving a select few still reserved for a floating garnish if desired) and then add in the heavy cream. Stir well until fully incorporated
- Ladle into bowls and top with any additional reserved mushrooms, a sprinkle of thyme and a few drops of truffle oil (if using) for garnish
- Enjoy!

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside of my house
and takes her clothes off
says she's close to understanding Jesus
and she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she's slipping through my hands
Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning
She says, "It's only in my head."
She says, "Shh I know it's only in my head.
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
says, "Man you should try to take a shot.
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
and says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
she must be tired of something
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I can't see nothin', nothin', round here.
You catch me if I'm falling.
You catch me if I'm falling.
You catch me cause I'm falling down on you
I said, "I'm under the gun…"
Round here.
Oh, man, I said, "I'm under the gun…"
Round here.
And I can't see nothin', nothin'.
Round here.
Have you ever had the feeling you don't belong? A gut instinct telling you to travel a different road? A sense that your life's goal is just within reach if you could just pull it into focus and see the path that leads you there? The endless search for a purified contrast between wrong and right, and the ability to choose the right stones that will support your destiny? These things sometimes bring you to the brink of giving up, yet a voice in your head tells you…."just one more step." Follow that voice.
Maria left behind all she knew, took a chance and hoped for the best because she had a dream and it consumed her being. The past was replaced by the tightrope of the unknown, a willingness to reach for something new and hopeful. And yet she cried for past ease and comfort. Nothing in life is free, there is a price to be paid for every goal. Learn that lesson well and you will be rewarded through perseverance.
Society paints us with the same brush, each person is a line on this study or that poll. Numbers dictate the "will of the people" even if it doesn't fit your idea of a full life. So why then do you still persist with the crowd? Not me, no not me. I shall not follow the norm. I will be me.
The tightrope we walk is surrounded by well meaning people that think they have the answers. Much thought has been applied to the systems and ideals they feel will bring about a equal and unbiased society, equality for all they say. Time has shown this idea to be nothing but folly, the able and connected few always end up on top while the many suffer. We will sacrifice like lambs for the ideology of the fools we embrace if were not careful.
I feel the draw of as much independence as I can muster. An urge to control my life and follow what my heart tells me is the best use of my time on this earth. Once a day passes you by there is no recovery. No changing the outcome, no altering the choices made and the sometimes problematic results. I feel wisdom is defined as the ability to make the best with what you are given each day and I strive to improve my ability as best I can
The urge to give up can be a powerful foe, gnawing at you relentlessly until you start to feel like you have nothing left. The foundations of your existence crumbling before you as you face the onslaught of daily life in this cruel world. Never give in, never back down or fail you shall. Nobody said life was easy so focus on the beauty of each sunrise, bask in the glory of each sunset, and remember tomorrow holds no sway over today. Tomorrow is another chance to get it right.

For Golden Globes, L'Oreal Turns the Red Carpet into Real-Time Marketing With Shoppable GIFs
Awards show is 'our Super Bowl,' social team says
When Golden Globe nominee Julianne Moore walks down the red carpet during Sunday's award show, social media will blow up about what she's wearing. And alongside the chatter, Twitter users could see something new in their social stream: a L'Oreal Paris-branded GIF recreating her fashion look.
The beauty brand is setting up an elaborate digital hub—called a "shoppable social commerce center"—in a studio in New York this weekend. Social teams from L'Oreal Paris and agency R/GA will work with eight style influencers and five models to pump out social content in real time during the award show's TV broadcast. While social media war rooms have become standard fare during live events like the Super Bowl, L'Oreal's social play is an interesting twist for fashion and beauty-minded advertisers.
Megan Trinidad, creative director at R/GA, said the red carpet is a "key moment for beauty."
"We perceive the Golden Globes as our Super Bowl," she explained.
The beauty influencers include The Man Repeller, Melisa Michelle, Sam Cannon and Romain Laurent.
The social team will use a 360-degree camera will shoot video that recreates makeup looks as celebrities walk down the red carpet. The videos will then be turned into GIFs to be uploaded to L'Oreal Paris' Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr pages. Each post will also include e-commerce links to shop the looks. Paid ads on Facebook will drive viewers to Tumblr, while the cosmetics player is also purchasing Promoted Tweets.
The heavy social push supports and syncs with new TV ads that L'Oreal will air during the program that promote ten products, including Infallible makeup and hair color line Preference.
Once the red carpet ends, the panel of beauty experts and social gurus will tweet and comment about the awards show.
The goal of the real-time push is to create social posts on the fly, but the beauty brand has also already built some content based on products (like red lipstick, for example) that are likely to be popular hits.
"We have a huge amount of work that we've already done, but our primary thing is that we want to be flexible and capture those special moments throughout the night," Trinidad said.
L'Oreal Paris backs up this year's social push with data from the 2014 awards show. During the 2014 Golden Globes, L'Oreal Paris launched its Tumblr page with the #LOrealParisLive campaign, which claimed to control 80 percent of beauty-related Twitter chatter. The activation generated 21.8 million impressions and 234,000 engagements.

Merizo Magic - I was in Guam for 6 months and surfed the entire season from August-February. I'm originally from Hawaii and have to admit Guam had some pretty good surf. Every morning I'd wake up and go to Merizo (won't say where but you locals know about da gas station). First time I ever surfed that place I paddled out to the lefts because the right was too crowded. I was wondering why nobody was surfing the left, until I got out there. Solid 6-8 feet, perfect off shore winds, blue-as-fuck water, and some of the sickest pits!!!! No shet!!! You locals know about that inside bowl. I surfed other places on the island - boat basin, rick's reef, talafofo, marine lab, cemeteries, magandas, etc. None of them compared to Merizo! To you locals... I totally respect that place and the people. Mahalo for letting me surf out there!

Hi all, Maria Reina here reporting on my last HVRW restaurant. I'm kind of sad to see this all come to an end. I've had a lot of fun eating at, and reading about, some great restaurants.
So let's get to it: my husband Larry and I were excited to try another restaurant that we haven't been to. Crew is located a little off the beaten path, in Greenwich, just a stone's throw from the train station. We were also really happy to have our friends, Nadine and Kevin, join us. We were able to try just about everything on the HVRW menu that was offered. Always a plus in my book! The HVRW menu offered several dishes from the regular menu, and we noted that the chef uses many artisanal ingredients from local farms.
They started us off with a signature dish: their Edamame Hummus. This tasty dish was a great way to start off the meal with our drinks.
The first course was a toss-up, but I think Larry had my top choice: a Butternut Squash Bisque that had bits of crispy pancetta in it and a drizzle of basil pistou. I loved the combination of the smoothness of the soup with an occasional crunch.
A close second was the Steamed Mussels in cream with grilled rosemary and roasted truffle garlic. Nadine and I both had that dish and agreed that the rosemary really set it apart from what we have traditionally tasted with mussels.
Kevin opted for the Beet Salad with a little pistachio crusted goat cheese medallion. He reported that was "quite delicious!"
On to our second course: my Lamb Sliders were a hit with us all. The tasty little slider was topped with a yummy garlic aioli and served on a soft potato roll. I really liked the homemade potato chips, but think the dish could have done without the carrots on the side. They were not quite cooked enough and the vinaigrette really didn't work for me on the whole.
Larry's Mahi Mahi was cooked beautifully with an interesting sauté of spinach and chorizo, and topped with a citrus-curry vinaigrette. I managed to get a tiny bite from him before it disappeared!
Kevin loved his Short Ribs with a Parmesan Red Potato gratin. The meat was fork tender and combined with the potatoes was as Kevin remarked, "brilliant in its simplicity."
Nadine opted for the pasta, a ravioli filled with a puree of goat cheese, mushroom and sweet onion. The beautifully colored raviolis were resting in a yellow pepper coulis.
Three desserts were offered on the menu, so Nadine and I both chose the Crème Caramel. It was just lovely. The custard, with an intense vanilla flavor, was resting in a delicious caramel sauce.
The Chocolate Cake was pretty straight forward and simple, but full of flavor.
The other dessert offering was a tasty Bread Pudding with a vanilla-caramel drizzle.
This little gem is worth the trek off of the typical Greenwich Ave restaurant scene. The regular menu has some great options and we all noted that the wine list and bottled beer selections were quite eclectic. Perfectly matched to their menu.
We'll definitely be back!

Two master resets in one week do not a happy 2012 Focus driver make. So this episode is a mild-mannered rant modified with some self-doubt. Am I doing something wrong? How come Henry's SYNC MyFord Touch system is so unreliable? Even after I did a master reset on Tuesday, yesterday the clock went haywire, jumping around from one hour to the next on a random basis when I was trying to figure out if we were late for supper at my daughter's house.
I didn't have time to include this comment from Allen MacDiarmid regarding my Navigation problems, so I'll post it here:
Al, I tried your suggestion, and it did work. I was able to go into AUX mode by pushing the start button without pressing my foot to the brake. So that might be an idea, to fire up the tech system before we plan to leave on a drive. BTW, the best gas mileage we've seen on the Focus so far has been about 36 mpg, during our cross-country drive from Denver. So I look askance at all of the touting Ford's doing of the 40-mpg highway performance. I haven't seen it yet, even at sea level here in Boston. My Denver dealer said the mileage is not so good at mile-high altitude.
I hope I'll have a more upbeat report for you next week!

The voluntary youth work sector in Wales
The voluntary youth work sector in Wales is estimated to involve more than 250,000 young people and at least 30,000 adult volunteers. WCVA estimates that there are at least 2,554 voluntary groups specifically involved with young people or 7% of all voluntary groups in Wales (WCVA Third Sector Statistical Resource, 2016).
The voluntary youth sector is playing an exceptionally important role in supporting the development, well-being, self-esteem, employment skills and life skills of young people.
About CWVYS
CWVYS is the representative body for the voluntary youth sector in Wales. It is an independent charitable body that promotes quality youth work and represents the interests of its membership and the wider sector.
Our aim
'To educate and help young persons to develop their physical, mental, cultural and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society by facilitating mutual support and co-operation among voluntary youth organisations, the Youth Service and other related agencies in Wales.'
Current objectives include:
- To promote quality youth work with young people in the voluntary youth work sector.
- To support implementation of the National Youth Work Strategy for Wales by assisting the voluntary youth work sector, including CWVYS members, to engage with the Strategy.
- To support the ethos of Extending Entitlement: supporting young people in Wales and to work in partnership with other organisations to enable young people to realise their full potential.
- To represent the voluntary youth work sector at a Wales level with the Welsh Government in relation to youth work, youth policy, evaluation and research and youth participation in decision-making.
- To collaborate with the maintained youth service in Wales and to plan for a stronger independent and integrated voice for the youth work sector in Wales.
Through its regional structures and regional officers, statutory membership of Children & Young Peoples' Partnerships (CYPPs) and roles such as chairing the cross sector Youth Work in Wales Review Group; CWVYS works in partnership with the local authorities and promotes an integrated approach to provision for young people and youth workers. CWVYS is also an active member of the 5 Nations Group, the Third Sector Partnership Council, Third Sector/Ministerial Groups and a range of national and UK bodies and projects.
CWVYS engages with a large number of member organisations ranging from national bodies with many constituent youth groups to more locally or regionally-based organisations.
CWVYS gains considerable strength and resources from its membership. It works for and with the voluntary youth sector as a whole, the Welsh Government, the local authorities in Wales and the Welsh Local Government Association.
CWVYS works collaboratively with a wide range of partner agencies, including the Welsh Government, Local Authority youth services, Welsh Local Government Association, Education & Training Standards (ETS) Wales and Training Agency Group.
CWVYS was set up originally in 1974 by the Standing Conference in Wales of Voluntary Youth Organisations, which was established in 1947. It was core funded by the Welsh Office and had its own offices and staff until 1992 when the Wales Youth Agency (WYA) was established.
CWVYS's work programme was then undertaken by the WYA through a service level agreement. In 2001, after devolution, CWVYS embarked on a review of its strategic plans for the future, in response to the changing policy environment in Wales.
After negotiations with the then Youth Policy Team of the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG), it was decided to core fund CWVYS to make it more independent, whilst still relying on the WYA for office space and administration. With the closure of the WYA at the end of 2005, CWVYS is now totally independent once more with its own office and administration staff in Cardiff Bay.
Here you can find our latest annual report for 2018-2019

Instagram has been launching a flurry of updates and new features to its platform, with the introduction of IGTV, a four-way video chat, dropping a new space-saving version of the app, adding music to soundtrack your stories, and no longer notifying people when you screenshot their stories.
Today, the popular photo and video-sharing social networking service launched a new "You're All Caught Up" feature, designed to let users know when they've viewed all new posts from the last 48 hours.
Revealed in an official blog post, Instagram had diverted from publishing chronological feed for several years now, making it difficult to tell when all content has been viewed, and thanks to this new feature, that issue will be fixed.
Instagram says that below the "All Caught Up" message, the app will display posts that have already been viewed as well as posts that are older than two days old. This feature is rolling out on both iOS and Android starting today.
In other tech news, these new leaks give us a possible first look at a new iPhone design.
