After spending 42 hours in the temporary detention, the journalist Alexei Salov (the editor of the newspaper "Argumenty Nedeli - Vladimir", a regular contributor of the news website "Vybor33") stated that his case is connected with "the reluctance of some gentlemen to hear criticism in their address."
Alexei Salov was arrested Wednesday night by the staff of DAEC. According to his words, the police did not carry out any searches in an apartment or in an office.
... - I was detained at the request of Anikeev - he said in a telephone interview to the correspondent of "KP".
Komsomolskaya Pravda, 01.05.2010
"Mercy and order" became a major sponsor of almost all significant media of the region foresight. And the firs poured in the listener's ears, and also in the eyes of viewers and readers about the social exploits of "Mercy and order", led by Mr. Deputy. But Internet resource "Vybor33" was found, which criticized the "work" of a federal deputy, and it did it often so relish often that a decent audience, by regional standards, was going to read the exposure. There were no insults. "Vybor33" only wrote that Anikeev PR with might and main that the meetings of the State Duma can not see him, no matter, how often would you watch the TV that "cognitive strategies students, "being introduced to the Vladimir school by him, are very similar to NLP courses, etc. etc. In general, the normal criticism, without which Europe cannot even imagine the political life in a civilized country. But no matter, how often deputy Anikeev rested in Europe, the order in Vladimir he saw differently.
And having decided that the editor of "Argumenty Nedeli - Vladimir" Alexei Salov is related to publications, made a competent provocation by the hands of his subordinates, the result of which were a hundred thousand rubles, thrown by his assistant on a table in a cafe with the cry: "Help, extorted!" The "unexpected" employees in the civilian recorded the situation, noting, however, that the suspect did not touch money, and have no deputy discrediting documents in possession. He only had copies of previously published materials on the Internet about the activities of "Mercy and order" that Anikeev assistant asked him to bring for a meeting under the pretext of non-working printer in her office. Then it became clear that any computer or on different storage media, belonging to him, seized on the same day at Salov A. V., have not even a single file, which caused anger of a "public servant". They did not have a single file at all, which would be referred to Anikeev Gregory and his business. And everything was checking with passion - even recover deleted files. Summoned for questioning editor "Vybor33" explained that: a) only he used the right to post content on the site, b) Salov AV has no relation to the texts, enraging the State Duma lawmaker. And the investigator closed the case.

Mr. Anikeev, according to the register, is the founder of three other listed companies - CJSC "Delta", CJSC "Vesta" and CJSC "Norta". But we didn't find them in the declaration for some reason.
Gregory Viktorovich for five years of work in the State Duma introduced two amendments and signed under two bills, introduced by a team of authors. If we will meet him in the State Duma, we will ever shake his courageous hand - because without it, the Forbes list would look palely...

Deputy of the State Duma, United Russian Grigory Anikeev cannot boast of an active legislative activity, or striking public appearances. But, most likely, his fellow party appreciates him for another reason. There are enough speakers and lawmakers in UR, but the billionaires in any party are at premium. And Anikeev - is exactly a billionaire, besides, twice the richest member of the lower chamber of the federal parliament.
A listing of everything belonged to Gregory Anikeev, would require a separate article. Let's try briefly - firstly, meat processing "empire", that begins with a modest workshop for the production of ravioli, salami and sausages. Second - entertainment empire, which includes a TV station, a newspaper, a web resource and two radio stations. Well, in the third - a lot of money, cars, land, property and other pleasures of life.
... Speaking of mass media. With holding "ABI-Media" (that is exactly called the set of Anikeev mass media) occurred an amusing thing. A couple of years ago it was the most closed mass media in the Vladimir region with a mass of information taboos and filters. Viewers with experience can certainly remember that it was not possible to see on "TVC-Vladimir" (later "Peace TV") screen, for example, the governor Nikolai Vinogradov. Another deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the region Sergey Sakharov does not appear there, and he was not alone. In media community was said that the list of "persona non grata" are approved by the "self" and, moreover, there is even a list of words, forbidden in broadcast and print, for example, the adjective "Soviet" with all its derivatives.

A member of the Property Committee of the State Duma Grigory Anikeev in a declaration for 2012 reflected the highest income among the members of the lower chamber of the sixth convocation - 1.1 billion rubles. Despite the lead in this season, as the deputy "turned pale" - his last year's salary amounted to 2.7 billion. In his election declaration Anikeev informed about the presence of large stakes in two German hotels: AVG Berghotel GmbH (75%) and Hotel Koppeleck GmbH (50 %), as well as the contribution in the Swiss bank UBS AG. According to the state commercial register of Germany, current owners of the hotels are already deputy's relatives - Anatoliy and Valery Anikeev. And the information about the closing of accounts at UBS is absent yet.

2. Gregory Anikeev
Faction "United Russia"
Total family income: 1,110 billion rubles
Personal deputy income: 1,110 billion rubles
A fact. In terms of personal income Anikeev retains leadership among the deputies of the State Duma of the second year in a row - in 2011 the United Russian also earned in excess of 1 billion rubles. The parliamentarian, who in 1990 founded the holding company "ABI Group", in 2012, retained the mandate, despite the accusations of doing business from the "Socialist" Dmitry Gudkov and Ilya Ponomarev.
Geographically candidates definitely make a choice for cash holding in the old Europe. Apparently, the biggest foreign account belonged to United Russian Grigory Anikeev - he kept more than 370 million rubles in one of the Swiss banks. Mikhail Slipenchuk, Anikeev colleague on the faction, prefers to diversify his assets - he had already three bills: in Switzerland, France and Monaco, totaling almost 40 million rubles.
Slon.ru, 05.11.2013
In the early nineties an enterprising young man organized a workshop that produced the dumplings - a product that is always very popular. It went well, and soon he organized a company "Pokom", which produces food. Very soon it became a leader in the ravioli market. Later, the company has developed into an "Anikeev Business Invest." In the 2000s, this holding has also a successful sausage production.
Today, there are a group of companies under the name of ABI GROUP.
Uznayvse.ru, 2014
Income of the Duma Deputy Grigory Anikeev 182 was 995 million rubles in 2014, it follows from the information, published on Thursday, April 16 on the website of the State Duma. Thus, Anikeev showed the highest revenue among members of the lower house of parliament.
Four apartments, a house, water supply network, gas pipeline network, sauna, sewage system, electricity supply network and two plots of land are listed in Anikeev property. The entire property of the deputy is in Russia. At the end of 2013 Anikeev also showed the biggest earnings in the State Duma of 1.7 billion rubles.

Gustav Adolf Cornaro Riecke (* 19. Mai 1798 in Altstuben, Königreich Ungarn; † 8. Januar 1883 in Esslingen am Neckar) war ein württembergischer evangelischer Geistlicher und Pädagoge.

Leben
Gustav Adolf Riecke wurde in Altstuben in der damals zum habsburgischen Königreich Ungarn gehörenden Slowakei als Sohn des Pfarrers Victor Heinrich Riecke geboren und ist Spross der württembergischen Familie Riecke. Dieser betreute von Brünn aus die deutschsprachigen Protestanten der Region. Gustav absolvierte 1815 bis 1820 das Studium der Theologie am Tübinger Stift und unternahm anschließend eine Bildungsreise durch Deutschland und die Schweiz, bei der er unter anderem Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi kennenlernte. 1822 bis 1824 war er Repetent im Stift in Tübingen. 1824 wurde er Diakon und Leiter eines Privatschullehrerseminars in Besigheim. Er heiratete in Stuttgart am 12. Mai 1825 Auguste Stockmayer (* 9. September 1805 in Stuttgart, † 3. Februar 1893 Esslingen), eine Tochter des württembergischen Landschaftssekretärs Friedrich Amandus Stockmayer (* 13. Okt 1760 in Stuttgart, † 2. Februar 1837 ebenda).
Riecke wurde 1828 Pfarrer in Gutenberg, 1832 Pfarrer und Oberinspektor des Waisenhauses in Weingarten.

Von 1838 bis 1851 war Riecke Rektor des Lehrerbildungsseminars in Esslingen, der damals einzigen staatlichen Ausbildungsstätte für Volksschullehrer im Königreich Württemberg. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Pädagogen seiner Zeit und war 1840 Mitbegründer des Württembergischen Volksschullehrervereins, der sich unter anderem für die Lösung der Volksschule von kirchlichen Einflüssen starkmachte.

1849/50 gehörte Riecke für den Oberamtsbezirk Esslingen den verfassungsgebenden Landesversammlungen in Stuttgart an (2. Kammer der Abgeordneten). Wegen staatsfeindlicher und demokratischer Gesinnung wurde er 1851 in die Pfarrei Loffenau zwangsversetzt. Sein Nachfolger als Rektor des Lehrerseminars wurde Karl Christoph Stockmayer. Nach seiner Zurruhesetzung (1871) ließ Riecke sich wieder in Esslingen nieder, wo er 1883 starb.

Magna Carta 800th anniversary marked with commemorative stamps
BBC News, Tuesday 2nd June.
Click here to read the article as it appeared on the BBC.
A special set of commemorative stamps has been issued to mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
The six stamps feature text from Magna Carta, and other charters, bills and declarations that have developed the rule of law around the world.
Magna Carta was granted by King John of England on 15 June 1215, establishing that the king was subject to the law rather than being above it.
A "foundation of liberty" postmark will also appear on letters this week.
Principles set out in Magna Carta charted the right to a fair trial, and limits on taxation without representation.
Landmark document
It also inspired a number of other documents, including the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Text from the American Bill of Rights of 1791, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, and the 2013 Charter of the Commonwealth are among other texts that feature on the commemorative stamps.
Sir Robert Worcester, chairman of the Magna Carta 800th Committee, said: "The relevance of Magna Carta in the 21st Century is that it is the foundation of liberty.
"I am delighted that Royal Mail has marked this landmark document, and other key bills and declarations it inspired, with these striking stamps. It is fitting that they will be seen by people all around the world."
Andrew Hammond, director of stamps and collectibles at Royal Mail said the legacy of Magna Carta had been far-reaching.
"The charter's unique status as a fundamental text, guaranteeing freedom under the law, has been the inspiration for many key charters, bills and declarations which have become milestones in the development of the rule of law throughout history and across the world," he said.
Bishops and Barons to go on Trial… 800 years after alleged crimes
The Metro.co.uk, Monday 18th May.
By Richard Hartley-Parkinson.
Click here to read the article as it originally appeared.
It sounds like something from the 13th-Century.
Bishops and Barons have been summonsed for trial at the Houses of Parliament accused of treason, sparking a possible constitutional crisis.
That's because it is from the 13th-Century.
The Supreme Court is to hold a mock trial in front of three of the world's top judges to help mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta.
Lawyers from across the Commonwealth will argue the defence and prosecution.
One of the key issues will focus on whether the barons and bishops were acting lawfully when they refused to surrender London to King John as agreed.
It will take place on July 31 at Westminster Hall and King John has been called as a prosecution witness.
Sir Robert Worcester, from the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Commemoration Committee, said it would be 'more than just a bit of historical themed fun'.
He said: 'The evidence being examined by these eminent judges will help explore some timeless questions of legal and constitutional importance. Is the King above the law? Is there ever a defence for breaking a solemn promise?'

BBC: Copy of Magna Carta for every UK primary school
The BBC
By Judith Burns, Education reporter
21st April, 2015.
Click here to read the original article.
Every primary school in the UK is to be sent a copy of Magna Carta to help pupils learn how the document forms the basis of many modern freedoms.
The aim is to explain the legacy of Magna Carta, as the 800th anniversary nears of its sealing by King John.
The charter is considered a cornerstone of the British constitution.
This is an "epic narrative that continues to shape our world", said Sir Robert Worcester, chairman of the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Committee.
As well as a copy of the document, the schools will receive two young person's guides to Magna Carta, explaining its significance to current political events.
These are a timeline wall-chart and a tabloid-style newspaper called the Magna Carta Chronicle, which together set out the history of the past 800 years in "the fight for freedom and rights".
The initiative, led by the Magna Carta Trust and funded by charitable donations to the 800th Anniversary Committee, is part of ongoing celebrations of the document.
Magna Carta was sealed by King John on 15 June 1215, forced by a group of rebellious barons.
It was the first formal document to limit the power of the King, stating that a King had to follow the laws of the land and guaranteeing the rights of individuals.
It laid the foundations of trial by jury and of Parliament.
Sir Robert said the initiative would give young people the chance to learn more about the history and significance of Magna Carta.
"The fight for freedom and rights and the rule of law is a global story but one that should be extra special to everyone living in the UK, since its origins and dramas – from the freedom to choose our rulers and religion, to equality of opportunity and the right to live without fear of unlawful imprisonment – are so inextricably linked to the history of Britain itself," he said.
"All these, and many other freedoms, are charted in this unique young person's guide in a highly accessible and visually stunning style which all began when the will of the King was first challenged by 25 barons in the water meadow at Runnymede on 15 June 1215."
Christopher Lloyd of publishers What on Earth? designed and wrote the guides in collaboration with illustrator Andy Forshaw.
The guides link Magna Carta with modern struggles for freedoms and rights, for example Malala Yousafzai's campaign for the right of girls across the globe to an education.
Mr Lloyd said the aim had been to connect "the fragment of history of the signing of Magna Carta on a piece of parchment and put it into the context of an 800-year story".
He said he wanted the timeline to be like the thread of a necklace with historic moments, which saw modern liberties and freedoms gradually developed over 800 years, like beads on the thread.
The pack will be sent out to all the UK's 21,000 state primary schools later in April.
The publishers have also provided a series of free online lesson plans and activities.

Magna Carta guidebook and timeline donated to 21,000 UK primary schools
Every primary school in Britain is to receive a souvenir copy of Magna Carta along with a time-line wallchart and newspaper chronicle charting 800 years in the fight for freedom and rights.
The bold initiative, funded by charitable donations to the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Committee,IWC Replica Watches will help teachers and pupils learn about the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta on 15th June 1215 by bad King John.
Sir Robert Worcester, Chairman of the Magna Carta 800th Committee, said this year marks the best opportunity in a century to present young people with an epic narrative that continues to shape our world.
"The fight for freedom and rights and the rule of law is a global story, but one that should be extra special to everyone living in the UK since its origins and dramas – from the freedom to choose our rulers and religion to equality of opportunity and the right to live without fear of unlawful imprisonment – are so inextricably linked to the history of Britain itself," he said.
"All these, and many other freedoms, are charted in this unique young person's guide in a highly accessible and visually stunning style which all began when the will of the King was first challenged by 25 barons in the watermeadow at Runnymede on June 15th, 1215."
The Magna Carta Chronicle is the official young person's guide to this year's 800th anniversary commemorations. Its creator, world history author and educationalist Christopher Lloyd, said the book had been specially designed and illustrated by timeline artist Andy Forshaw to make the 800-year story accessible and exciting for younger people – as well as for teachers, parents and people of all ages.
"Few people carry an interconnected narrative of the past around in their heads because history has not been taught in schools this way for several generations. That's why important stories such as how we have come to enjoy today's liberties and freedoms can so easily get lost," he said.
The Magna Carta Chronicle includes more than 45 tabloid newspaper stories so that the events of 800 years read as if they happened yesterday – making them easy and fun for anyone of any age to read topguntime.com.
A two metre long fold-out timeline charts nearly 100 moments from the laws of Hammurabi to the terrible experience of Malala Yousafzai after her attempted assassination by terrorists simply for daring to go to school.
"Her story reminds us that the freedom and rights we enjoy to day will still have to be fought for by future generations. We cannot just leave them to the legacy of people in the past. That's why making these stories accessible to younger people today matters so much," said Lloyd.
A souvenir facsimile copy of the 1215 edition of Magna Carta, now housed at Salisbury Cathedral, has been reproduced on the back of the Magna Carta Chronicle timeline so that schools can hang up it up on classroom walls. It comes with simple annotations that explain the key clauses in the document that are the foundation stones of liberty and the rule of law throughout many parts of the world today.
A further 50 copies of the Chronicle will be prizes on a social media quiz from 22nd April – follow @magnacarta800th on twitter for more details and to take part.
Copies of the Magna Carta Chronicle will be sent out to the head teachers of all UK primary schools beginning in the last week of April and first week of May, 2015. A selection of curriculum-mapped activities, lesson plans and worksheets that integrate the Magna Carta Chronicle across History, Citizenship, Literacy and Art in Key Stages 2 and 3 are available to download free at www.whatonearthbooks.com/magnacarta.

Why Magna Carta Matters
By Christopher Lloyd
In the Weekend Telegraph, Saturday 18th April 2015
The story of our 800-year struggle for freedom is more important today than ever.
IT WAS ONLY in August last year that the slightly gruff voice of an elderly American gentleman caught me unprepared on the end of my mobile phone.
I was on my way back from giving a lecture at a school in Northamptonshire. My hands-free was playing up. I could hardly make out the words from the crackles, but I got this gist: "It's Sir Robert Worcester here – I hear you're the guy who does timelines….."
So began what has turned into what feels like the most exhilarating, high-speed partnership in the history of publishing.
In just four months, we have conceived, designed, created, written, illustrated and printed the Magna Carta Chronicle – a Young Person's Guide to 800 years in the Fight for Freedom. The book is published officially on Tuesday this week.
I vaguely remembered Bob, founder of opinion poll company Mori (now IPSUS Mori), from my days at The Sunday Times as Technology Correspondent. That was 25 years ago – now Bob, 82, still behaves as if he is not yet past his peak. Not by a long shot. I have yet to meet anyone half his age with even half his energy, commitment and attention to detail.
So it was with good cause that last year George Osborne appointed Bob to be chairman of a committee charged with donating £1m of public money to causes to help celebrate this year's 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta by bad King John.
Like me, you may be wondering how and why such generosity can be justified in times of stringent national austerity?
Having immersed myself in the Magna Carta Chronicle project over the last few months, I am convinced that the answer lies in the power and significance of this narrative for young people. The focus of the 800^th anniversary celebrations should be especially important to anyone teaching school children at KS 2 and 3 and for all parents with kids aged between 6 and 15.
For a good part of the 800 years since King John was surrounded by those rebellious barons at Runnymede, Britain's national identity has been forged by a roller-coaster story concerning the evolution of what we now call freedom and rights.
It is a heart-wrenching tale that involves the forces of mother nature and chance just as much as the heroes, heroines and villains of traditional history.
The saga hits home hardest when you design a timeline. Soon after John's humiliation, the broad narrative sweep takes in the appalling desolation of the Black Death, quickly followed by the resulting sumptuary laws designed to keep those pesky peasants who survived in check. Then comes Caxton's subversive printing press, the Reformation, settlements in the New World, the American Declaration of Independence, the French revolution and tempestuous Simon Bolivar liberating the colonies of South America.
Fast on the heels of his horses comes the abolition of slavery, the Chartists, the opening of primary schools and universal suffrage. Finally, following two devastating world wars, the UN issues its declaration of universal human rights – a 'Magna Carta for the modern age', homosexuality is decriminalised, the Berlin Wall falls, woman become priests – no, I mean bishops…
As you can see, it's a story that affects us all from cradle to grave.
The problem is it's rarely, if ever, told – at least not as an interconnected narrative like this – to children in British primary schools today.
Ever since the time of Henry VIII us British have been brilliant at preaching our idea of liberties and freedom to other nations and cultures. Exporting our views around the world has become a national speciality, be it on the Mayflower, via the Empire or through the play-by-the-rules mentality of our great global sporting contributions: football, rugby and cricket.
But in our rush to preach, we seem to have forgotten – to the drastic cost of the present younger generation – how to tell the story to ourselves. We are still so used to projecting our narrative onto a global stage that the idea of telling it to our children is ironically alien to us.
We shouldn't be so surprised that most young people in our multi-cultural society have little idea of the narrative of British values, the very essence of what Theresa May harks on about as being critical to the future cohesion of British society.
Freedom of expression, tolerance of alternative opinions, a lack of discrimination, equal opportunities and respect for diversity – all of these are core to the evolved psyche of our nation formed over 800 years. But they are under extreme threat, not least because we have lost the ability to tell the story of how they were fought and won over generations to young people today.
The fault falls mostly to an education system that has been so chopped up and fragmented by educational experts and politicians that telling any giant sweeping cross-curricular narrative over time has become almost impossible.
The snag is that the evolution of our national story cuts across ALL subject areas – from literature (JS Mill) to politics (The Great Reform Bill) and religion (the Reformation) to Technology (Edward Snowden) and Biology (The Black Death) – at the same time history, drama, debating and reading through non-fiction (literacy) course through it all.
Timetables, bells, different teachers for different subjects – they are all anathema to the big interconnected, cross-curricular picture – with the result that pitching to a young mind the fight for freedoms and liberties over the last 800 years is not especially easy or intuitive for many teachers (and parents). As a result our story of the emergence of our values has become lost.
So the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta celebrations may possibly be the best chance we will have to do this for a generation, if not longer.
When King John sealed that parchment in the summer of 1215 no-one could possibly know what history might make of the event. Now, 800 years later, we do. But how are we to tell the story in an engaging way in an age where young people are everything from reluctant readers to conscientious objectors when it comes to the study of history? And most schools are still in a mindset that's obsessed with fragmenting knowledge into bite size chunks…
I have three suggestions – all of which we have incorporated in to the new official young person's guide to Magna Carta – The Magna Carta Chronicle – which is published this Tuesday.
The first is to make the story irresistibly and stunningly visual. Wallbook artist Andy Forshaw has created the most beautiful giant fold-out timeline of about 100 key moments from 1215 to 2015. Let's stick it on every bedroom and classroom wall!
Second, there is something extraordinarily powerful about telling stories from the past in the style of newspaper reportage, as if they happened yesterday. This makes reading non-fiction fun, engaging and relevant. News is the heartbeat of most young people's online information fix. When seen in print, stories told in this style have more power than ever.
Finally, we must appeal to the innate sense of curiosity in a young person's mind. A 50-question multiple-choice quiz is designed to unlock conversation between pupils and teachers, children and parents. The idea is that young people challenge adults, even if only to prove how much more they know than their supposedly wiser elders. All the correct answers are hidden somewhere inside the book, of course. There is joy in the discovery of the right answer. A little shot of dopamine goes a long way to creating a lifelong love of learning.
On Tuesday evening this week we will celebrate – at a launch party in central London – the launch of the Magna Carta Chronicle, made possible thanks to the support of the Magna Carta 800th committee.
Its aim will be to help revive the telling of our national story – one that has helped form our modern identify as a tolerant, multi-cultural nation, respective of diversity. It's as a result of this narrative that we are a people who reasonably expect others who choose to come and live here to abide by our values, above all else expunging intolerance, discrimination and extremism.
That's why I can't think of a more important story that needs to be told to our young people today – the 800 years in the fight for freedom from 1215 to 2015.
And to think that if Bob hadn't made that crackly telephone call just a few months ago, I may never have realised myself quite how much celebrating Magna Carta matters.

Today we're giving you the chance to ask us your #1 ecommerce marketing or business question.
I have no clue how to get consistent, targeted traffic to my website. How do I get fast, cheap traffic on a shoestring budget without spending money on ads?
You can read more about how we do it inside this double your traffic case study.
If you want to learn other simple, but hugely effective ways you can increase your ecommerce traffic, these six ways are also proven to work for ecommerce businesses without paying for ads.
To get more traffic we've found content marketing, these six traffic strategies, and viral giveaways thru our sister tool KingSumo works best.
To convert visitors into leads we've found that having one attractive offer that runs across your whole site like this $150 store credit strategy works best.
To convert visitors into sales we've found that this cart abandonment strategy works best.
To get repeat customers, we've found that a referral marketing strategy like this works best.
I have just started my business. I want to grow my Facebook group that has 570 members right now, but none of them are active. I announced a giveaway recently but nobody is interested. Where I am I going wrong? I want to sell my products via groups. Please help me grow my Facebook group. Which tags must I use?
1. Come up with 10 marketing ideas with your team.
2. Every 2-4 weeks, test a few ideas.
This gives you time to iterate during that time frame. If it doesn't work... no worries, you can move to the next marketing idea. If it does, great!
Building a test-oriented structure like that should help you find the marketing channels that hit in a scientific way, vs. just guessing and wasting months (or years) and then realizing you're no closer to your goal.
1. Identify your 3-5 highest lifetime value (LTV) customers.
2. Reach out to them, hop on a call, talk to them.
4. Find out what sites they go to, and market on those sites.
If you don't have any customer's yet and you're just looking for the best niche to build a business in, then I recommend you follow the "Mixed Market Method" AppSumo used inside Tip #4 of this growth study.
That method will help you find the intersection of what you enjoy doing, what you're good at, and a problem that needs solving.
How do you devise a plan to start gaining traction on a new marketing platform or channel?
Test your first marketing channel for one month. Iterate as you go to improve. After a month, check your results to see if it's worth continuing or not.
You can follow Tip #7 out of AppSumo's multimillion dollar playbook to see exactly how to do it, and get our free marketing ideas matrix spreadsheet to do it yourself.
How do I get started in the first place? Which is better - Shopify or my own website? How do I compete with Amazon Prime free shipping - without selling on Amazon - and still make a profit?
Answer: The easiest way is to just start with a simple landing page and actually validate people will buy your product.
1. Get a simple landing page up.
2. Make an offer for people to buy.
3. Pitch to family and friends, and have them share with their network, too.
This will validate your idea and get actual revenue before you start to expand. There are thousands of extremely profitable ideas out there that started with a simple landing page.
To see how AppSumo followed these three steps to launch a million dollar software company in five months check out Tip #9 in their multimillion dollar marketing playbook.
Is it better to build an in-house content marketing team or outsource content marketing part to an agency?
Answer: To start, it's way less expensive to hire a freelancer or two to help with writing. You could potentially find someone in your LinkedIn network by posting on there, or even find a really inexpensive marketing intern at a local university.When building a company, a philosophy we like to go by is: what's the quickest and easiest way you can get going (that's also least expensive).
Once you validate your idea, and you're drowning in sales, then it's worth expanding. But be careful trying to grow faster than your idea validates or sells.
My toughest business question: getting testimonials for "social proof". Do you just beg for it?
Answer: You can follow this video testimonials strategy. Bon appetit!
How can I make more progress "in" and "on" my business each week as a stay-at-home dad while also taking care of household needs and spending lot of time with my kids?
Answer: Balancing time and family is outside what a lot of entrepreneurs think, but so important. Here's the truth: you're not going to be able to put in the pure hours that a single person can. But that's OK. It will force you to focus on the MOST important things for your business.
Something that some of us do on our a team is every day we list the three most important things we want to accomplish that day. For you, it could potentially be in a week. Make them actionable things you can control, and make them the BIGGEST high-leverage items to grow your business. Not necessarily the easy busy work that people get distracted on, that doesn't move the needle.
How do I get new customers to buy without resorting to discounts, freebies, % off, dollar off, and BOGO deals?
Answer: It's just the way human psychology works. People love getting discounts and deals. That's why these things work so well for growing an ecommerce store quickly. To not destroy your margins you can increase your price.
Build a promotions calendar for your ecommerce store.
Every 10 days plan one new promotion.
On Day #1 open the promotion.
Promote it across social, ads, and email throughout the 10 days.
On Day #10 send one "last day" email in the morning, and one "last chance" email 6 hours before the promotion ends.
Your promotion could be for a product bundle, a limited-stock item, or something else you come up with.
Most small stores are trying to win by creating one Facebook ad that will drive all the traffic to their store. That's like betting your business on one lottery ticket.
Running consistent promotions with a deadline is a proven way to get new customers (with or without discounting). And it is repeatable, because you can run the same promotions that worked best the following year, and change up the ones that didn't work as well.
This Supreme growth study is a great example to study. They never discount, and make millions with each promotion by limiting supply.
Now is your chance to tap into the knowledge of our Sumo marketing experts. Ask your #1 ecommerce marketing or business question in the comments below.

Our story revolves around the actions and consequences of a particular man by the name of Seanathan Rockefellar, who appears to be the creator and savior of all housewives from the common everyday chores with artificial intelligence robots. In all reality though, he has been stealing identities and draining bank accounts using his ingenious robots. Which ultimately presents the evidential problem of our vein genius, Seanathan, also known as Rocky.

Book Review: Revolt on the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain by Robert Ford and Matthew J. Goodwin
Following success in the recent European elections, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) is the most significant new party in British politics for a generation. In Revolt on the Right, Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin put UKIP's revolt under the microscope and aim to show how many conventional wisdoms about the party and the radical right are wrong. The book offers a thorough analysis of a movement that has until now received only limited scholarly attention, writes Lise Herman.
Revolt on the Right: Explaining support for the Radical Right in Britain. Robert Ford and Matthew J. Goodwin. Routledge. March 2014.
Find this book:
With UKIP's recent triumph in the 2014 European elections, the recent publication of Revolt on the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain could not have been more timely. Robert Ford and Matthew J. Goodwin trace one of the major phenomenon of British politics over the last two decades: the transformation of a single-issue pressure group that David Cameron once described as a bunch of 'fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists' into a fully-fledged political party with national reach.
Indeed, beyond the double-digit results obtained in the last three European Parliament elections, UKIP has further proved its political credentials in a series of parliamentary by-elections between 2011 and 2013, and unprecedented results in the 2013 local elections. This evolution is all the more remarkable given the historical stability of the British party system, a national identity still grounded in World War II anti-fascism, and the institutional hurdles imposed by Britain's first-past-the-post electoral system. Combining an approachable statistical analysis of UKIP's electoral basis over the period 2004-2013 with first-hand testimonies from both elite and grass-root artisans of the movement's success, this work delivers a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics underlying contemporary support for the radical-right in Britain.
The study's first two chapters offer a chronological account of the successes and misfortunes of UKIP from its foundation in December 1993 up to the present day. Media coverage, academic studies, and interviews with key insiders – including founder Alan Sked, former figurehead Robert Kilroy-Silk, and current leader Nigel Farage – provide material for this detailed history of the movement. In a colourful literary style, the authors paint precise pictures of the major events and personalities that have contributed to shaping the party. These include, for instance, a vivid description of the heated atmosphere of a UKIP meeting that united 900 activists in January 2000, and an analysis of the pivotal role of former Conservative MP Roger Knapman's leadership between 2002 and 2006 in professionalizing UKIP's campaign strategies.
Ford and Goodwin also offer insight on the divisions that have perpetually affected the organisation. Beyond the ego clashes inherent to party political life, the study convincingly demonstrates the existence of more profound internal tensions over two key issues of party strategy and ideological positioning. The first concerns the way in which the organisation relates to the British National Party. Indeed, while the UKIP leadership has always been anxious to distance their platform from the more openly xenophobic stances of these radical counterparts, building this 'reputational shield' has proved a complicated endeavour. Not only have political adversaries been keen to point towards overlaps in the two parties' ideas, electorates, and militant base, but in 2007-2008 this common ground also sparked demands within UKIP's National Executive Committee for the conclusion of informal alliances with the BNP. A second ambivalence underlined by the authors concerns UKIP's broader political objectives, and the party's attitude towards the conquest of power. A share of their leaders and activists still perceive Britain's distancing from the EU as a prime political objective, in line with the party's enduring reputation as a single-issue pressure group. This has contradicted the ambitions of those, such as Nigel Farage, who advocate campaigning on a broader platform. It has also sparked regular dissensions over whether UKIP should informally ally with Eurosceptic hardliners within the Conservative party.
The remaining chapters provide a more traditional analysis of the wider social and political trends within which the UKIP vote can be interpreted. In chapter 3, the authors blend social cleavage theory with a spatial analysis of trends in voting behaviour to explain the rise of UKIP; a type of reading party scholars will be familiar with. Their point of departure is thus the deindustrialization and tertiarisation of the British economy, the decline in the traditional working class electorate and rise of the middle-class, and a resultant shift in concerns of the 'median voter' towards post-material values. Responding to these changes, mainstream parties would have broadened their appeals to address this growing middle-class, leaving behind voters disgruntled with the platforms of economic moderation and cultural liberalism mainstream parties have increasingly come to share. This is the population that would be forming the bulk of UKIP's support.
In chapter 4 and 5, the authors support this analysis by providing an overview of the sociological and attitudinal traits of UKIP supporters. Relying on the British Election Study's (BES) monthly-run Continuing Monitoring Survey (CMS), the study accounts for the responses of 5593 participants who declared their intention to vote UKIP in the following elections over the period 2004-2013. In line with the results of a wealth of studies on the socio-demographic characteristics of far-right electorates in Europe, the study shows that UKIP voters are more working class than the average population, have less formal education, and are predominantly male. The attitudinal traits of this group also closely resemble those of other far-right electorates in Europe. UKIP voters are first and foremost eurosceptics, but they are also either strongly positioned against immigration, and/or reject mainstream politics and politicians. They are also more likely to cast negative judgements on mainstream party performance. There are a number of more surprising findings in this analysis. The reader discovers, for instance, that over the years UKIP has won voters from both Labour and the Conservative Party, albeit more from the latter, and that dislike for the personality of David Cameron has played an important part in the recent surge for UKIP support. 57% of UKIP voters are above 55 years old, contradicting the wider European trend of a relatively young far right electorate.
Revolt on the Right offers a thorough analysis of a movement that has until now received only limited scholarly attention. While, to this extent, the study fills a clear gap, it may disappoint those looking for a broader theoretical contribution to the vast literature on radical-right parties in Europe. Generally speaking, the authors engage very little with this literature, making only passing mention to the way in which UKIP compares to other European far-right movements, and to existing theoretical frameworks that have helped explain surges of support for them. Chapter 3, for instance, develops the idea of a 'competitive space' left open by mainstream parties and successfully exploited by the far right. But the authors make no mention of Herbert Kitschelt's work, whose argument is mirrored here, or even to spatial theories of voting more generally. And while the authors argue at several points that their perspective counters the 'conventional wisdom' on UKIP, their analysis endorses, in fact, a common reading of right-wing support as the 'outgrowth' of wider social and attitudinal changes mainstream elites have failed to capitalize on.
This is all the more regrettable that the very strong analysis and nuanced understanding of the development of UKIP's strategy since its foundation in the first two chapters of the book offered this study a very strong potential for theory-building. Based on these findings, it could have made a more marked contribution to an emerging body of work on the European radical-right, which attempts to articulate the 'demand' for these organisations (the sociological and attitudinal pre-conditions for their success) and the 'supply' of far right-wing parties (how these organisations capitalize on these pre-conditions).

Home LIFE Old Railway Carriage Converted Into Stunning Off-Grid Home
Old Railway Carriage Converted Into Stunning Off-Grid Home
These two derelict old railway carriages have been converted into an absolutely stunning off the grid home. Packed full of character and history from their time on the railway, these carriages are now a wonderful place to call home.
source/image: Living Big In A Tiny House
Located in the Central Otago region in the South Island of New Zealand, this conversion project has been a true labour of love. The restoration and renovation took 8 years to get the home to it's current state working part time.
One of the most impressive aspects of this railway carriage conversion is how well it has been transformed into a comfortable home while still keeping so much of it's former character.
Being located on such a remote property, the home is unable to connect to services and so is completely off the grid, capturing it's own rain water and generating it's power from a small solar system.

Pennsylvania Superior Court rules that fracking natural gas from a neighboring property is trespassing
Landmark ruling could open the door to "hundreds of trespass lawsuits"
Kristina Marusic
On Monday the Pennsylvania Superior Court issued an opinion that could have major ramifications for the hydraulic fracturing industry in the state: It states a company trespassed on a family's land by extracting natural gas from beneath their property while operating a fracking well next door.
The Briggs family owns about 11 acres of land in Harford Township in Susquehanna County. When Southwestern Energy began operating an unconventional natural gas well on the adjacent property in 2011, the Briggs declined to lease their mineral rights to the company for development. In 2015, they filed a complaint that Southwestern was trespassing by extracting gas from beneath their property without a lease.
Southwestern didn't dispute they'd removed natural gas from beneath the Briggs' land, but argued they weren't trespassing due to the "rule of capture," which says the first person to "capture" a natural resource like groundwater, gas or oil owns it, regardless of property lines.
A lower court agreed with Southwestern and issued a summary judgment in their favor, but yesterday's Superior Court opinion overturns that decision, stating that the rule of capture shouldn't apply to unconventional natural gas drilling because of key differences in the method of extraction.
"Unlike oil and gas originating in a common reservoir, natural gas, when trapped in a shale formation, is non-migratory in nature," the opinion states. "Shale gas does not merely 'escape' to adjoining land absent the application of an external force. Instead, the shale must be fractured through the process of hydraulic fracturing; only then may the natural gas contained in the shale move freely through the 'artificially created channel[s].'"
Ultimately, the Court said, "In light of the distinctions between hydraulic fracturing and conventional gas drilling, we conclude that the rule of capture does not preclude liability for trespass due to hydraulic fracturing."
The case has now been remanded to a lower court, which will rule on whether the Briggs are entitled to compensation from Southwestern Energy for trespassing on their property by taking natural gas without a lease. In the meantime, the family has been given the opportunity to further develop their trespass claim, including getting estimates of how far the subsurface fractures and fracking fluid crossed boundary lines into the subsurface of their property.
"I think this potentially has big ramifications for both drilling companies and property owners," said David E. Hess, the director of policy and communications for Harrisburg-based government affairs law firm Crisci Associates and former secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
"If on remand the case requires compensation of the adjacent landowner for trespass as defined in the court decision, I think this could open the door to hundreds of potential similar trespass lawsuits filed all across Pennsylvania where unconventional gas well drilling occurs."
Hess pointed out it's hard to find an area in Pennsylvania's shale patch where existing natural gas extraction leases don't come up against property belonging to other landowners who didn't sell their mineral rights. He also speculated that before this ruling changes the way hydraulic fracturing operates in the state, there would likely be an attempt to clarify the law.
"I think if people perceive this as a threat to the industry," Hess said, "we'll soon see legislative attempts to redefine the rule of capture in Pennsylvania."
Monday's Superior Court opinion differs from similar cases in other states.
Referencing a case in Texas where the fracking company won (Coastal Oil & Gas Corp. v. Garza Energy Trust), the Pennsylvania Superior Court noted in Monday's ruling, "we are not persuaded by the Coastal Oil Court's rationale that a landowner can adequately protect his interests by drilling his own well to prevent drainage to an adjoining property. Hydraulic fracturing is a costly and highly specialized endeavor, and the traditional recourse to 'go and do likewise' is not necessarily readily available for an average landowner."
The Court also noted that applying the rule of capture to hydraulic fracturing is problematic, since it would allow companies to extract natural gas from anywhere without the need for a lease as long as they could set up a fracking well on an adjacent property.
Hess noted that Pennsylvania's laws are unique, so what's happened with regard to the rule of capture and hydraulic fracturing in other states is unlikely to impact how things play out here.
"I think this is going to be an important decision," he said, "but I think people will be chewing on this opinion for a long time to fully understand what it means."

INTERVIEWS - C
The Chop – Interview
PD: How would you describe yourself or your band as an artist?
The Chop: The Chop is now operating more like a musical collective – with a rotating cast of players and ideas for different types of music always circulating. "GhostBeef" specifically is a heavy metal concept album about the fast food franchise Arby's (which we love). We thought there was nothing more "metal" than the fast food industry so we used it as a writing prompt and built out an entire world for this, with its own cast of characters and a story arc.
PD: Can you tell us briefly about your background – i.e. where you're from, how you came to make music, etc.
The Chop: The Chop (collective) originated in Wilmington Delaware, where many of us went to school together then subsequently moved west to San Francisco. The "GhostBeef" project started shortly before the 2020 pandemic as jam sessions in San Francisco, and that's where we came up with the concept and genre we wanted to produce a record in. We've all been playing music since our highschool days and have tried to continue expanding our group and our musical palettes since then.
PD: Who and what inspires you to make music, both in terms of musical and other influences? What do you like to write about in your songs?
The Chop: GhostBeef is a concept album about Arby's – so these songs all fit together as a story about a dystopian future where a founder has taken total control of the land and rules it with a meaty fist. There's songs from the perspective of the enslaved livestock, the downtrodden employees, and the pitiful consumers.
And lastly, there's a hero that emerges to serve beefy justice. Our major influences for this sound are modern bands like The Sword, plus the hard rock 1970s like Black Sabbath. Thin Lizzy, and Judas Priest. In terms of concept albums, we all love and respect bands like Ween, King Gizzard, and Tenacious D for being excellent musicians without a lot of self-seriousness.
PD: What are your aspirations as an artist?
The Chop: We mostly just want to get this story (of John Arby's tyrannical reign) out into the world. Selling out of our gold-colored vinyl run and playing shows to 1000s of adoring fans would also be great though
PD: What is the proudest moment in your music career so far?
The Chop: Once at a wakeboarding convention in Lodi an entire dance floor of people slow-danced to our music. I'm still confused how they managed that but it was great.
PD: Promoting one's music is such a challenge these days, especially with so many new artists emerging from bedrooms in the day of the home studio. How is that going?
The Chop: The primary goal is always to focus on making good material – music that we would all listen to ourselves. After that, yes, getting folks to listen to and support it can be challenging, but I see it as a fun and interesting challenge, and in that endeavor what's most important is feeling confident that what you made is good and truly worth people's time.
PD: And how do you book and promote your live shows and tours? Any performances coming up?
The Chop: The band members for GhostBeef have been living on opposite sides of the world for about the last year, and so we ended up finishing this record up remotely in 2022. However we're now all back together in the same area (northern California) and are working on bookings in early 2023.
PD: What do you think about downloading music online? What about streaming sites like Spotify?
The Chop: As a music appreciator, apps like Spotify and Bandcamp have been absolutely amazing lifechangers – just the greatest. I think it's important to acknowledge that. In terms of the music business model for streaming, I think it still needs a few structural iterations to be truly "fair" to artists, but in the meantime you have to admit that it has really democratized music in a very exciting way, allowing people all over the globe to hear what you produce (potentially) in your bedroom.
The Chop: So many, haha, but I'm going to go with Hocus Pocus by the band Focus. It's weird, prog-y, and also rocks hard. Plus the whole rhyme scheme aspect makes me smile. Maybe our next album will be prog rock…
PD: Is there anything you don't like about the music industry, which you would change if you could?
The Chop: I don't think it's the industry's job to shift – but rather the consumers. I'd love to live in a world where every day people were excited to discover, mentally analyze, and then monetarily support independent artists. I feel like Spotify / Bandcamp have laid the groundwork for that being possible, but consumers have to care about interesting, layered, produced material for it to work, instead of just relistening to assembly line produced junk food music all the time. Music appreciation being more deep and widespread is what I would change. In other words.
PD: So, what are you working on at the moment?
The Chop: We're getting practiced up for a live show performing GhostBeef in its entirety, and just starting to write more songs for a followup project. We also host a weekly podcast called 1001 Album Complaints where musicians research and break down classic albums. It's fun and interesting – the perfect entertainment for other music obsessives like us.
PD: Where can we learn more about you and buy your music/merch online?
The Chop: We have vinyl records, CDs, and some cool t-shirt options here at Bandcamp

Biggles Flies East
7+ readers
Author: W.E. Johns Format: Paperback Release Date: 05/06/2003
Jonathan Stroud, November 2010 Guest Editor, of a classic 'boy's own adventure': He may seem a bit out-dated now, but Biggles was one of the very greatest fictional heroes of my childhood, and I'm still a huge fan. He's an ace pilot and adventurer – brave, unflappable and decent – ready to serve his country in war, and battle injustice in times of peace. This particular story – one of the very best – is set in World War I. Biggles is sent to Northern Africa to try to uncover a mysterious German spy who is working havoc among British forces. Much to his disgust he must become a spy in his turn – and spies (when they're caught) are immediately shot. The book is a genuine thriller, full of close shaves both on the ground and in the air, as Biggles and his unknown enemy play their deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Highly recommended!

October 2011 Guest Editor Roddy Doyle: "Boys in jail – a great idea. The jail has no roof and they have to dig huge holes in the baking sun all day – it's getting even better. I read Holes in hospital a few years ago. I wasn't ill, and was only there for the day. I actually forgot I was in hospital, the book was so good. I had about ten pages left when a nurse told me I could go home. I was half-hoping she'd tell me I'd have to stay longer, so I could finish the book." Wholly original and brilliantly plotted, Holes is a funny and poignant story about surviving. When Stanley Yelnats is falsely accused of stealing a pair of trainers, he is sent off to Camp Green Lake which is not a camp, not green and not near a lake but a boys' detention centre in the middle of the desert. Every day every boy has to dig a hole five foot deep and five foot across because, the Warden says, it's good for them. How Stanley survives and proves that the Warden has a different and far more sinister motive for wanting so many holes to be dug unravels in unexpected and wholly satisfying ways.

The Famous Five: Five go to Smuggler's Top
Author: Enid Blyton Format: Paperback Release Date: 19/03/1997
A choice of David Almond, September 2011 Guest Editor, and Ali Sparkes, November 2009 Guest Editor. David Almond: "Anyone of my age is pretty sure to have read Enid Blyton, just as they probably read the Dandy and the Beano and Superman and Rupert Bear and I-Spy books. She's certainly in among the mix of things that influences me. She did the trick of getting kids to read voraciously, and she still manages to do it. OK, the books can be a bit repetitive, and the language can be pretty clunky, and many folk keep trying to look down on her and to dismiss her, but the pages turn and turn, and I still remember the delight of being swept into the gang's world, and sharing in their adventures." Ali Sparkes - "Without Enid I probably would never have become a bookworm or, eventually an author. Discovering Five go to Smuggler's Top in the back of a toy cupboard really changed my life. I understand when people say the characters are a little 2D and the plots a bit similar, but Enid knew exactly what young readers want – fast-paced adventure, dogs, secret passages, midnight feasts. I still want all those things." To see Ali Sparkes' 5 favourite children's books click here The Lovereading Comment: Mystery and adventure still at its very best years after publication. Enid Blyton's books were responsible for getting an entire generation of readers reading and now with their updated covers they are being enjoyed by a new generation of 8+ year olds.

Piper secures sheriffs post
Challenger's write-in bid comes up short
Alyssa LaRenzie
Updated: Nov. 7, 2012, 12:10 a.m.
The only candidate on the ballot for Forsyth County sheriff earned the title Tuesday.
Republican Duane Piper received 62,405 votes out of a possible 81,913 ballots cast, easily topping the lone certified write-in candidate, DT Smith.
Based on the totals, not everyone who cast a ballot selected a sheriff's candidate.
A preliminary review of about 1,500 names written in for sheriff showed about 683 who appeared to have listed Smith's name, said Barbara Luth, county elections supervisor.
"This is unofficial, so there may be more," Luth said. "It's up to the board [of elections] to determine what the voter intent is."
Some of those included a "TD" or just "DT" without a last name, while others opted for "Donald Duck."
The board of elections is scheduled to meet Friday to certify the election results.
But with an overwhelming majority of the votes for Piper, the board's meeting is unlikely to change the outcome of the race.
Piper said late Tuesday night that he's "ready to go to work."
"I'll be trying to get in contact with Sheriff [Ted] Paxton tomorrow about a transition," he said. "I'm hoping that we can work together for the citizens to make it the smoothest transition that we can."
Piper defeated Paxton, a three-term incumbent, in the Republican primary runoff in August.
"I got a lot more support in this election than I did in the previous two," he said, "so I have other people that I'm thankful to."
Smith was in the hospital after having surgery Tuesday and unable to comment, said his wife, Kim.
He is expected to make a "full recovery," she said.
