Sexting study raises concerns | The Triangle
Sexting study raises concerns
According to a study led by David DeMatteo, the director of the joint degree program in law and psychology at Drexel University, the exchange of sexually explicit text messages and images among minors is more prevalent than previously imagined.
The study, "Youth Sexting: Prevalence Rates, Driving Motivations, and the Deterrent Effect of Legal Consequences," was published in early June and based off responses from 175 college students (ages 18-22, who had access to a cell phone as a minor) about their "sexting" practices when they were younger than 18, DeMatteo explained. More than half the respondents admitted to sexting as minors; however, few were aware of the steep legal consequences that certain types of sexts between minors could carry.
"We found that 54 percent of the sample acknowledged sending sexts … under the age of 18, and 28 percent of the sample acknowledged sending photographic sexts," DeMatteo said. "We also found that girls and boys did not differ in the prevalence rate of sending textual sexts, but that girls sent photographic sexts twice as often as boys."
While many of the respondents felt that such activity was relatively harmless, in many states they can be prosecuted harshly for sending sexts between minors, especially photographic ones, under existing child pornography laws.
The study also found that 59 percent of the respondents who were unaware of the legal consequences as a minor said that if they had known it was considered child pornography under the law, it would have deterred them from sexting. Still, the majority of respondents said they suffered no legal or social consequences from sexting, though 71 percent said they knew someone else who did. Only two percent claimed to have notified an authority figure such as a parent or teacher about a sext.
DeMatteo said that the result of the study "suggests that we need a combination of education and legislation to tackle this issue. Young people should be educated about the potential dangers of sexting, and sexting-specific legislation should be enacted so that those who get caught sexting are not subject to harsh punishment under other laws."
According to DeMatteo, the idea for the study as well as much of the heavy lifting came from his students, fourth-year doctoral candidate in clinical psychology Heidi Strohmaier and fifth-year law/psychology student Megan Murphy. DeMatteo served as an advisor and mentor to his students during the course of the study.
Strohmaier said that their shared interest came out of the knowledge that sexting can have serious repercussions that the majority of teens who engage in sexting are unaware of.
"The law has not caught up with technology, which unfortunately means that in some cases, youth caught sexting are prosecuted and sentenced very harshly under child pornography laws that are meant to protect youth," Strohmaier said. "We wanted to gain a better sense of how often youth are sexting and whether they know about these serious legal consequences and also whether the negative psychological, social and legal consequences of sexting are common."
She agreed with DeMatteo that the best solution to the problem is education and policy change.
"Because we found a deterrent effect of legal consequences, an important next step would be for parents, teachers and law enforcement to educate youth about the potential legal and other consequences of sexting," she said.
Strohmaier added that media portrayals of the psychological and social consequences of sexting are largely inaccurate.
"Fortunately, our study suggests that the catastrophic social, psychological and legal consequences of sexting often portrayed in the media rarely occur," she said. "Rather, we found that most underage sexting appears to be fairly benign … and [tends] to occur within the context of an exclusive romantic relationship or, less frequently, as a manner of flirting. This really highlights the importance of distinguishing the more typical harmless sexting from the less common egregious forms resulting in exploitation, harassment and bullying."
The findings of the study have since been published in the journal Sexuality Research and Social Policy.

Falling Walls Press Falling Walls Berlin Science Week
Winners of the Falling Walls Lab 2012
Young scientists and entrepreneurs showcase excellent research projects, social initiatives and business ideas
Innovative breakthrough in ecofarming – neutralizing toxines in cow dung – wins international science contest / Presentation at the Falling Walls Conference on 9 November 2012
Berlin, 9 November 2012. One day before the annual international science conference Falling Walls, 100 junior scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators from 38 nations presented their research projects, ideas and initiatives in Berlin. The speakers addressed a wide range of topics, which tackle scientific and societal challenges of the present.
The jury declared the Swiss farmer and scientist Thomas Rippel of "Organic Standard" the winner of the Falling Walls Lab Finale 2012 in Berlin. Rippel was also voted winner of the Audience Award. In his talk, he explained how cow dung (manure) – which is a rich natural fertilizer, but also produces large amounts of toxic gases – can be neutralized in an eco-friendly and highly efficient way. By adding Sauerkraut juice, a by-product of food production, Rippel's method stops the fouling processes in manure, thus stabilizing the nutrient matters and enriching the mould. Thomas Rippel studied economics and is currently enrolled in an agricultural training programme at the Swiss Demeter Verband. The jury was particularly impressed by Rippel's extraordinary approach, connecting scientific theory and farming practice, as well as his passionate and authentic presentation.
The jury awarded the second prize to Quirin Kainz, a PhD candidate in organic chemistry at the University of Regensburg. In his 3-minute talk, Kainz demonstrated a fully developed method for cleaning and recycling chemical products. The current solutions for synthesizing pharmaceutics heavily depend on toxic catalysers. These elements need to be isolated in chemical processes, which are costly and energy-intensive. Based on highly magnetic nano particles, Kainz and his colleagues discovered an easier and more sustainable process, which create new possibilities for chemistry and pharmaceutical industries.
The third prize was awarded to Mai-Thi Nguyen-Kim, a nanomedicine researcher at RWTH Aachen University. Nguyen-Kim's presentation focused on the latest breakthroughs in cancer research: Nano transporters breaking through the outer walls of cells in order to efficiently channel medical agents to the inside. As it attacks only cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed, this method will form one of the basic elements of cancer treatment in the near future.
The jury members, as well as the audience, were impressed by the speakers' high professionalism and creativity. Jury members spoke of an "innovative platform" and "a must" for any ambitious junior scientist. The 100 international talents presented insights from research – health sciences, the humanities and social sciences, engineering, economics and natural sciences – as well as entrepreneurship ideas, social initiatives and environmental projects. "The visionary ideas we heard today exceeded all our expectations", said Dr. Martin Sonnenschein, jury member and Managing Director Central Europe of A.T. Kearney. "Tomorrow's changemakers presented ideas of the future, which can be applied in the present."
About Falling Walls Lab
The Falling Walls Lab was launched in 2011 as a cooperation project between the Falling Walls Foundation and the global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. After a successful kick-off, the challenging, fast-paced format was subsequently brought to a number of international cities like Johannesburg (South Africa), São Paulo (Brazil), Zurich (Switzerland) and Vienna (Austria). At the Falling Walls Lab, excellent academics, entrepreneurs and professionals from all disciplines get the opportunity to share their research work, business ideas or initiatives with peers and a distinguished jury from academia and business – in 3 minutes. The aim of the Falling Walls Lab is to connect young talents worldwide and foster professional exchange and networks between the disciplines.
A total number of 600 international researchers and professionals had applied for the 2012 series of the Falling Walls Labs. The best applications were selected by a jury from academia, science policy, and business. The jury was chaired by Prof. Dr. Reinhard F. Hüttl, President of acatech – German Academy of Science and Engineering. High-resolution photos of the Lab are available for download at: www.falling-walls.com/lab/gallery

The world is still in shock after Carrie Fisher passed away yesterday. Fisher best known as Princess Leia from the Star Wars films was in the middle of a career resurgence after being featured in 'The Force Awakens' in 2015. After her passing her former co-stars spoke out about their friend.
Mark Hamill, her on-screen brother in the Star Wars films was heartbroken and tweeted a picture of the two together.
Carrie was one-of-a-kind…brilliant, original, funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely…My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her Mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.
Fisher revealed that she and Ford had an affair while filming Star Wars in 1977 in her book that came out last month.
Billy Dee Williams who played Lando released a statement on Twitter also expressing his sorrow.
Anthony Daniels who played C3PO in the films worked with Fisher in four Star Wars. On Christmas Eve he tweeted that he hoped she would recover from her heart attack.
At last I know what I want for Christmas. The galaxy's beloved Princess, fully functional once more. And soon.
Sadly he had to follow it up with an ever sadder one.
Lesser known actor David Prowse, also known as the man behind the Darth Vader mask also tweeted about his affection for Fisher.

Zach Braff is looking for love on The Bachelor — sort of. The Scrubs star tweeted a photo of newly announced Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. on Thursday, September 7, joking that he was chosen to be the new star of the show since there's a strong resemblance between them.
Biggest 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Villains
The Bachelor page shared a photo of Luyendyk to announce the news to fans, writing: "Bachelor Nation, start your engines! We are proud to announce the next Bachelor will be….@ariejr! ???"

TV Shows Gone Too Soon!
Braff and Luyendyk may have similar features such as their dark brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin, but the actor won't be the one handing out roses on the show anytime soon. Luyendyk was revealed as the next season 22 Bachelor during Good Morning America on September 7. "It sunk in just now for sure, it's been a little surreal," the 35-year-old said on GMA. "I was a little skeptical just because we had been in talks for a few years about doing it so I just kind of went in with an open heart and just kind of hit me right now I'm here."
The reality star admitted that this was the perfect time for him to be on the show. "I was at home and it was pretty recent and we kept in touch over the last few years but this just fit perfectly. The timing really fit," he said. "I kind of kept things under wraps because I didn't know how this would turn out. It's been such a quick turn of events and my family doesn't know so now they know so they know along with you guys."
'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Engagement Rings Through the Years
Although Luyendyk was the runner-up on Emily Maynard's season 8 of The Bachelorette in 2012, some fans were still surprised that ABC cast him as the reality show's next star.
Take a look at some of the best fans' reactions to the announcement below:

Book Review - The Darkest Legacy
Title: The Darkest Legacy
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Series: The Darkest Minds (Book 4)
Publisher: Quercus Children's Books
Release Date: 2nd August 2018
Five years after the destruction of the so-called rehabilitation camps that imprisoned her and countless other Psi kids, seventeen-year-old Suzume "Zu" Kimura has assumed the role of spokesperson for the interim government, fighting for the rights of Psi kids against a growing tide of misinformation and prejudice. But when she is accused of committing a horrifying act, she is forced to go on the run once more in order to stay alive.
Determined to clear her name, Zu finds herself in an uncomfortable alliance with Roman and Priyanka, two mysterious Psi who could either help her prove her innocence or betray her before she gets the chance. But as they travel in search of safety and answers, and Zu grows closer to the people she knows she shouldn't trust, they uncover even darker things roiling beneath the veneer of the country's recovery. With her future-and the future of all Psi-on the line, Zu must use her powerful voice to fight back against forces that seek to drive the Psi into the shadows and save the friends who were once her protectors.
So, I have been totally addicted to this series over the last couple of weeks. The books were originally released as a trilogy and the third book had a nice conclusion but I still wanted more, therefore I was pleased to hear that there was in fact a fourth book released in the series. I then found out that it is set 5 years after the end of book 3 and is told from Zu's point of view - not Ruby's. At first I was a little bit nervous about this - not that i don't love Zu, because I do. But she hasn't got the same strength of voice as Ruby and I've come to know and love Ruby's narrative. But my doubts were wiped away withing the first couple of pages. Zu is not that shy, quiet kid anymore, she has grown up and now has a voice. She just has to decide if it's her opinions she is sharing or just following the rules of others.
Then all hell breaks loose at a Press Conference and she is accused of committing some horrible crimes, she has to run for her life but try to find a way to clear her name.
On the way she meets two strange Psi's - Priya and Roman, but she doesn't know who she can trust, these two characters star off quite small but become a huge part of the story and I liked that even as readers we aren't sure whether or not to trust them, we see them develop just as Zu does.
And don't worry - we still have Chubs and Liam in the story, and in a way Ruby too.
This book is written so well, that you're never sure what is going to happen next. I literally read this in 2 sittings, I would have done it in 1 if I was able. I just could not put it down, I had to know what would happen and I found myself gripping the edge of my seat, biting my nails and gasping, laughing, crying, smiling - pretty much a whole host of emotions. This was actually my favourite book in the entire series, it made me feel so much and swept me along with Zu and all she has to face.
Alexandra Bracken is a magnificent storyteller and I am definitely going to be looking up her other series as well.
I cannot recommend these books enough - you have to dive right in!
Book Review - In the Afterlight
Title: In The Afterlight
Release Date: 17 Nov. 2016
Having raced through book 1 and 2, I was desperate to get straight into the third book. Especially with how book 2 ended - talk about cliffhangers! I had to know what would happen to Ruby and her friends, especially after the horrific death (i can't say who as I don't want to give spoilers!) This book picks up just where the last book left off, we are straight back into the heart of the action and wondering what Ruby is going to do next.
The group have very few options left, they are constantly in danger and not sure who to trust. They have a few plans to try and change their destinies but with obstacles in their way everywhere they turn, you know it's not going to be easy.
This book focuses much more on Ruby and Cole - the growing relationship of them as leaders with the odd hint of romance, though you know the only one for her is Liam! They are volatile and opinionated but work well together and the growing tension between Ruby and her other friends creates a tense atmosphere.
I read the first half fairly quickly then struggled to find time to read, this may combine with a slightly slower pace towards the middle of the book, but I found myself beginning to drag my feet with reading it. I lost a bit of passion for the story and felt like I wanted things to just move a little quicker. I found myself in a bit of a lull with the book. There is a lot of discussions and planning what will happen, but not much action so the pace really does slow down. However I persevered with it and quickly enough the story started to pick up again. Bracken throws in some twists and turns just at the right moment to reignite your passion. At one point I was shouting at the book - I couldn't believe she would do that!!!
The ending rises in climax and gets very exciting again, I read the last 150 pages very quickly. Overall it is a perfect conclusion to the trilogy and everything comes together nicely without everything being tied up. There is hope for the future for the characters we have come to love and yet enough to make it a satisfying ending.
Though I am very excited to find out there is an extra book that follows told from Zu's point of view.
If you haven't read this series, I would highly recommend it. This series will take you by the horns and shake you up. I have really enjoyed it and will be sorry to say goodbye to these characters.
Book Review - Never Fade
Title: Never Fade
If you think I read book 1 quickly, it's got nothing on this one. As soon as I finished book 1, I dived straight into this one and was once more swept up into Ruby's world and carried through a mix of exciting adventures, heartbreaking moments and shocking discoveries. I read this book in about 2 days - I just couldn't leave it alone (sorry for the delay in the review, just haven't had a chance to jump online).
We are back with Ruby, but this time she is working for the Children's League, Chubs is off - hopefully recovering from his injuries, and Liam doesn't know that Ruby even exists. We still don't know where Zu is, but my god do we hope she is alive. We now have a new team around Ruby - Jude who is so sweet and tries way too hard and then we have the sarcastic, rather aggressive Vida who you can't help but hate but rather admire all at the same time. It was weird without the original group and I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but I soon found myself loving the new dynamic, even whilst wishing the others were there too. Ruby then finds out that Liam holds the key to a possible 'cure' for their powers so she has to track him down again.
This book had so many twists and turns that I felt myself being carried along with it in a swirl of emotions but I couldn't step away. I loved the change of pace and setting and felt that this book was so much more exciting than the first - and I didn't think that was going to be possible.
Seeing the two different teams mix was briliiant, and Bracken handled the merge perfectly. I really can't push this series enough right now - Bracken is a legend. These books have really rekindled my passion for reading and I can't thank her enough for that. I am desperate to start the next book and see what happens next.
If you haven't read any of this series - you have to start with book 1, but I suggest you find yourselves a copy and get stuck in - you won't regret it!

Recording[edit]
The album was produced and mixed by David Bendeth. Lead vocalist Hayley Williams, explained the album was titled Riot! because, "For us, the title 'Riot!' literally means an unbridled outburst of emotions. When we were writing, it seemed like our thoughts and emotions were coming out so fast that we couldn't control them. It felt like there was a riot within us. So the album takes our passion to a new level; it's just all raw energy."[5] Williams also commented on the band's evolution with the album, stating "I think our intention for the first record would have been for it to be everything that Riot! is, but there wasn't any time to make that record back then."[6]
During production, Paramore held an online contest, titled "The Last Song You'll Ever Sing", where fans submitted videos on YouTube for the opportunity to sing back-up vocals on the track "Born for This". The winner was Mary Bonney of McLean, Virginia.[7]
Music and style[edit]
The first track "For a Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic" comes from what lead guitarist Josh Farro reflects as "putting your faith in someone and they blow it." Farro composed the song and gave the demo to Williams. Farro stated "I wrote the music specifically to be awesome live and to be extremely energetic. It all came out at once. I showed it to Hayley and she just nailed it lyrically. She completely got the feeling I wanted the song to have."[5] The origins of "Misery Business" came from a message Williams posted on the band's LiveJournal, asking fans to post what they're ashamed of. "I found that people really were reaching out to someone to spill their guts to," she recalls, "so I did the same thing lyrically in the song and let everything out. It's more honest than anything I've ever written, and the guys matched that emotion musically."[5]
Discussing "Hallelujah", Williams recounts, "It's one of the oldest songs we've got, but we wanted to save it for this record, and it's the perfect home for it. It's a claim of victory for both ourselves and our fans."[5] The eleventh track "Born for This" contains the line "we want the airwaves back", from the song "Liberation Frequency" in the album The Shape of Punk to Come by the influential Swedish hardcore band Refused. Williams has explained that this song was written "about the fans" and "that the whole pre-chorus is actually inspired by that one line of the song."[8]
Ian Cohen of MTV Hive described the album as "classic alt-rock with a distinctly Fueled By Ramen edge."[9] Cam Lindsay at Exclaim! characterized it as "high-energy/high-emotion pop punk,"[10] while AllMusic's Jason Lymangrover states "[Williams] fills the majority of her punk-pop tales with emo angst and declarations of boy woes."[11] It is also declared as one of 2007's most popular emo pop albums by Andrew Leahey of AllMusic.[12] Jonathan Bradley at Stylus Magazine labeled it as "irrepressible power pop".[13] Alternative Press wrote "Paramore...have created 11 more-than-competent pop-rock numbers."[14]
Release[edit]
On March 13, 2007, it was announced that guitarist Hunter Lamb left the group to focus on family.[15] On April 13, "Misery Business" was made available for streaming.[16] A week later, the album's cover art and track listing was revealed.[17] In April and May, the band went on headlining tour of the U.S. They were supported by the Almost, This Providence, Love Arcade and Quietdrive.[18] Riot! was released through Fueled by Ramen on June 12,[17] following the debut of "Misery Business" on the radio. From late June to late August, the band went on the 2007 edition of Warped Tour.[19] In October and November, the group went on a co-headlining US tour with the Starting Line. Set Your Goals opened the first half of the tour, while the Almost opened the second half.[20] The album was re-released in late 2007 as a MVI CD/DVD, which includes the ability to remix Crushcrushcrush and Misery Business using the program U-MYX and includes music videos as well as live videos, lyrics and digital liner notes. The album has yielded four singles, with "Misery Business" being the first. The album's second single was "Hallelujah". The album's third single was "Crushcrushcrush", released on January 15, 2008, in the US and January 23 in the UK.
The album's fourth single, "That's What You Get", was released just over a week after Paramore cancelled their European tour to work on "personal issues",[21] amidst media speculation of the band breaking up. For the single's video shoot, Williams explained that, given the fragile state of the band, they all thought it best if they kept things low-key, surrounding themselves with their friends and family and keeping it simple. Williams added, "We had tons of friends there, and it really just felt like a hangout session. And Marcos [Siega, the director] was so cool about it. He said, 'Bring your friends.' We shot it in some of our friends' houses, and it just felt so real... and I think it's the first time in a video you're gonna get to see who we really are."[22] Williams had stated "We're hoping to do one more tour across the States before we really get started with all the (European summer) festivals. Of course, I want to do more Warped Tour dates, 'cause it's, like, my favorite tour ever. We'll see what works out and hopefully just have another great year."[23] In early April, the band appeared at the Bamboozle Left festival.[24] In April and May, the band went on a co-headlining US tour with Jimmy Eat World.[25] In July, the band performed on the 2008 edition of Warped Tour for a week.[26] In July and August, the band went on a US tour with Jack's Mannequin, Paper Route and Phantom Planet.[27]

Riot! received generally positive reviews from music critics. According to Metacritic, the album holds a score of 67 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews" based on 8 reviews.[28] Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic stated "Filled with crossover potential, the songs are consistent and zippy with catchy hooks in the vein of Boys Like Girls fronted by a young Shirley Manson."[11] At Stylus Magazine, Jonathan Bradley opined that "Riot! is immediately appealing because it focuses on sounds that have been neglected by the genre's front-runners. This is an uncomplicated album of strikingly uncomplicated music, entirely lacking in 15 word song titles." Bradley also compared it to the "better songs" from Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne.[37] Gareth Dobson at Drowned in Sound observed "At 38 minutes long, it's mercifully brief, but still manages to feel like a double album for those who endure it. That is, those who don't manage to forget that it's on the stereo at all. People, get your pop-punk thrills somewhere else. At least somewhere where there are actual thrills to be had."[31]
IGN's Ed Thompson stated "This is by no means a must have album and is not going to be remembered as the band's defining moment by any stretch of the imagination. But what Riot! will do is serve as a foundation from which the kids can continue to learn, grow and improve." Thompson also commented that it shows more maturity compared to similar bands.[32] Lewis P. at Sputnikmusic described it as the best pop punk album of 2007, commenting "Paramore might not be tapping into anything new, but it has finally hit its stride, making pop-punk anthems that match the praise."[36] Alternative Press writer Scott Heisel commented "considering the median age of the band, the musicianship shown on Riot! is mightily impressive...while the record as a whole may not be a home run, it's solid stand-up double that keeps Fueled By Ramen's inning alive for their next clean-up hitter."[29] Justin Mabee at Jesus Freak Hideout declared "While this new album may lack some of the spiritual depth that rocked their debut, the whole record retains a very positive feeling to it" Mabee commented that the band "has come a long way" with the album since they have formed.[33]
Accolades[edit]
The album was included in Rock Sound's 101 Modern Classics list at number 10.[38] The album was included at number 16 on Rock Sound's "The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time" list.[39] Stylus Magazine listed it at number 49 in their top 50 albums of 2007.[40]
Commercial performance[edit]
Riot! entered the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart at 20 in late 2007. Riot! sold 42,000 albums in the U.S. in its first week and three months later the album hit its peak at 15 on the Billboard 200. The album was certified triple-Platinum on April 20, 2021.[41] The album achieved some success in the UK reaching #24 on the albums chart sales and selling 250,094 copies to date. In New Zealand, the album peaked at number 15, and was certified Gold on February 1, 2009, shipping over 15,000 copies.[42][43] "Misery Business" became a hit, spending 22 weeks at #3 on Alternative Songs chart.[44] The song has been certified quadruple-Platinum by the RIAA.[45]

SUMMARY: People are willing to pay for digital subscriptions, as different models by The New York Times and The Guardian show. But it is still not clear how this will become a path toward sustainable profits.
Are news media memberships a viable business model?
Media Research Blog | 26 February 2018
By Dr. Merja Myllylahti
Auckland University of Technology (AUT)
The recent numbers about The New York Times digital subscriptions and The Guardian's memberships and donations were strong. It is anyone's guess how sustainable their digital growth is in the future, but the trend is encouraging.
It is tempting to play with the idea of the news media industry being 100% funded by the public. I know journalism has never been funded by subscriptions, but what if … ? Or, perhaps the industry could be partly publicly funded by some sort of government allowance.
Media companies continue to experiment with funding models in the digital space.
The idea of the public funding pops up now and then. Most recently, the UK government said it is ready to "save" the news industry and could consider financial perks to the industry. While announcing the government's review to the sustainability of the news industry, Prime Minister Theresa May said the review will consider if the "government-led solutions" are needed to support newspapers.
However, any handouts from any government could prove an issue for those publications receiving funding from the public. It is a trust issue.
The 2017 Reuters Digital News Report found young people have become more willing to pay for news. Perhaps there is a generational shift going on; younger people are used to paying for their music and other things online. In some countries, such as the United States and Australia, donations to news sites also tripled in 2017. The tide might finally be turning.
The Guardian offers an example. The company has 800,000 people paying for its journalism, and 300,000 are regular paying members. Additionally, 300,000 people have made one-off contributions. Thanks to cost cuts and a growth in funding from the public, the company is expecting to break even in 2019.
In the latest INMA News Media Outlook, Chief Executive Officer Earl J. Wilkinson acknowledged "a broader membership economy is emerging," but suggested the model may be best suited for local newspapers.
A new guide based on the research of Membership Puzzle Project agrees, but it also believes "robust forms of membership can be a path toward financial sustainability and audience relationships" that will benefit journalism. Yet, the guide notes memberships are likely to generate "less than 10% of total revenue in its first year."
Sound familiar? Even when news publishers' digital subscriptions have substantially increased, their digital revenue still does not bring the bacon for them, as the research shows.
Memberships are also hard work. Researchers Emili Goligoski and Elizabeth Hansen rightly point out they are not "about premiums, tote bags, mugs, or local business accounts." Readers donate to news media companies if they believe their interests align with the company's and if there is a real interaction between members and journalists.
Membership Puzzle Project is an interesting one to follow. It is a collaboration between the Dutch news site De Correspondent and Jay Rosen from New York University. So far, the project has identified 100 news sites with mixed membership programmes. It offers clear evidence these models are becoming more popular, but as with paywalls, their long-term sustainability remains a question mark — for now.

In other news, a quick bunny update. It's weird how their personalities are changing. My friend The Bunny Farmer never thought I'd stick with 3 rabbits as she said two would bond better with each other leaving a lonely third, which I'd feel sorry for and end up getting a fourth. I don't think it'll happen. Lily has occasionally tugged at my heart strings but I've spent enough time watching them all to know that I think she prefers a little more alone time than the others. And she is definitely far more bonded with Coal than Rex. It's when Coal is spending time with Rex that Lily heads off to do her own thing. And Coal spends plenty of time with both of them. And often enough all three are cuddled up together for me not to worry.
Coal has become a strange girl lately. She doesn't seem to be as affectionate or interested in human contact as she was when she was younger. She definitely seems protective of Rex too. Rex on the other hand is as affectionate and attention-hungry as ever. He's such a cutey and will happily sit munching grass next to me as I stroke his soft fur and tickle him behind the ears. And Lily has certainly grown into quite the little lady. She's a lot better with human contact now than she used to be (or maybe it's just contact from me). In the last week, Lily has been "playing" with me even :) It's a game Coal used to play with me and chase the others off during. Lily's not so aggressive but such a cutey to watch. Basically I sit on the grass on my knees and elbows, making a cave under my body for her. Which she inspects and runs in and out. Okay, so perhaps not the most exciting game, like throwing a ball for a dog, but she's oh so cute when she head-butts me to try and demand more space :) She's such a cutey and I'm loving the interaction with her for a change. She's by far the littlest of the lot now. Last week I had Rex weighed at the vet and he's over 2kgs already.
People who don't have pets just don't get how much personality each animal has.

Recent India-Pakistan Rapprochement: Prospects for Peace in South Asia
Since the last two years, in particular, the prevalent security environment of South Asia has become more complex and the region has become even more vulnerable to conflicts. This is primarily because of the Indian politico-strategic adventurism and its continuous desire to dominate the escalation dynamics of the region. It all started with the Pulwama attack of February 2019 which many argue was a false flag operation. In the pretext of its brinkmanship of so-called surgical strikes, India behaved very aggressively and reportedly entered Pakistan's airspace. Consequently, Pakistan was left with no choice but to give a befitting response. Though, unlike India, Pakistan didn't violate any international legal binding and showed its appropriate resort to respond. The resultant embarrassment for India both at the diplomatic and military fronts is part of South Asian history now. Later on, the August 2019 Indian unilateral and illegal political annexation of the disputed Kashmir region has further added to the volatility of the situation. Despite the international criticism, India has imposed a brutal lockdown and communication blackout in the disputed region to suppress the voice of the Kashmiri people. Even now the lockdown remains partially imposed. These two most recent critical events along with the increasing military prowess of India with the acquisition of offensive weapon systems have continuously created a dangerous environment of hostilities in South Asia since then. This in turn had reduced the prospects of long-lasting peace and stability in the region with far-reaching consequences.
However, during the last two months, the security environment of South Asia has gained significant attention in the regional and international security debates. It has become a subject of utmost importance that has created considerable hype in the international media. This is all because of the recent notions of rapprochement between these two nuclear-armed rivals of South Asia. Many believe that this would likely make the region stable that might further result in the resumption of 'composite dialogue' between the two. Regardless of such hopes there still exist a lot of doubts on the outcomes of such developments because of the many destabilizing factors. Most significantly these include; lack of mutual trust given the previous track record and Indian desire for one-sided and conditional dispute settlement mechanisms among others. This is not for the first time that both countries have been seemingly involved in signaling for the betterment of their relations. Though this implies that both the countries have the realization of the fact that the negotiations and dispute settlement through dialogue is key to long-lasting peace in the region, it however requires a broader framework rather than selected terms and conditions, especially from the Indian side.
The recent rapprochement attempts have been initiated by Pakistan at the strategic level. There are various occasions in recent months where Pakistan's civilian and military leadership has signaled the desire for peace in the region. Pakistan's foreign minister has asserted that the country has shifted its priorities from geopolitics towards geo-economics. It hinted towards the desire for settlement of disputes with India. Likewise, on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of the Pulwama- Balakot crisis between India and Pakistan, as reported by the ISPR, the Director Generals Military Operations (DGMOs) of both the countries have agreed to adhere to the ceasefire agreement of 2003 and re-establish the hot-line connection between the two. It further involved the desire to address the core issues that have the potential to harm the peace in the region. Furthermore, the statement of Pakistan's army chief to extend the hand of peace in all directions has further endorsed Pakistan's desire to peacefully settle disputes in the region. Later on, in another statement, he emphasized the resolution of the Kashmir issue and maintained that "it's time to bury the past with India and move towards cooperation". These deliberations with a clear mention of Kashmir and India hold great significance in the context of the hostile contemporary regional security environment.
Another significant and unexpected assertion came from the Indian Prime Minister in his letter to Pakistan's Prime Minister on the occasion of Pakistan Day. He asserted that "India desires cordial relations with Pakistan under an environment of trust and devoid of terrorism as imperative". Ironically, there was not a single mention of the resolution of the Kashmir issue which stands as the core issue between the two countries. This indicates the Indian desire for conditional peace on specified terms and conditions. In response to this, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has also written a letter to his Indian counterpart. He asserted that Pakistan also wants peaceful and cooperative relations with India in the region. He emphasized the resolution of the Kashmir dispute among others since peace and stability in the region are contingent on its peaceful settlement. This clearly shows Pakistan's unconditional commitment to regional peace and prosperity by solving all the outstanding issues between the two.
In all, it becomes quite apparent that since the last two years, the South Asian region has become more volatile than ever before. This is mainly because of the Indian adventurism; hostilities and its desire to dominate the region militarily and politically. However, the prospects of peace and stability in the region lie within the peaceful settlement of all the outstanding disputes. India still seems to be oblivious of the fact that Kashmir is the core issue in South Asia that requires a peaceful and concrete settlement. Though the recent quest for peace in the region is a positive development, it should be unconditional and broad-ranged from the Indian side as well. Only then the dream of a peaceful South Asian region can become true otherwise all the efforts might go into vain.

Today's post is for you… This is the latest haul of mine from an amazing collection of jewels – Ornate Jewels…!!!
This exquisite article of jewelry has been certified using hallmarked 925 silver. We use highest standards of manufacturing and follow strict quality standards. For the gold plated articles we use real 18k gold plating. All our products are 100% skin friendly.
I must say the collection was quite impressive. One design was entirely different from the other. Jewelleries were mostly silver ones, few are gold plated one. There were amazing lockets, ear rings, bracelets, finger rings. The options were many for ear and finger rings, pendents. By the time I reached the stall, most of the bracelets were sold out. But, I was lucky enough to grab a girly bracelet. Check out the picture below.
Finishing was really nice. I found those jewelries worth their price.
Check out details of my shopped pieces and what made me buy them. Also, you can find links below, to buy them from their online store.
I loved this 'dancing diamond' concept. The diamond inside keep vibrating as and when you move the pendent. When I saw the infinity design, I felt positive. Reminded me that strength Inside us in infinite…!! So I bought it for that positivity.
I have some good memories with these tiny, active insects. My cousins and I used to play with them. They remind me of my childhood days and the happiness of being free. Plus the color combination of diamonds and ruby is so girly. Isn't it???
This one is nice design and I liked it's sturdiness. Perfect for daily wear.
Every gal has a princess inside her. The princess inside me deserve all the cute pretty tiaras in the world. This one is for her.
You must have read my post for my dear sister. So this is her Rakhi gift. She loves girly bracelets. A silver bracelet with glittery stars, her type. She loved it.
Did you like my Shopping????
Which one did you like in particular???


There's a bizarre but typical situation currently unfolding on the lovely Greek island of Crete, where I am spending Pesach. The food is amazing, the resort is stunning, the views are extraordinary, and the Jews are arguing.
Of the approximately 250 guests at the program, about three-quarters are residents of Eretz Yisrael. My in-laws, Mordechai Ben-David, and a handful of others represent the American contingent. So what happens with Yom Tov Sheni?
Now, the Israelis all came with every intention of entirely ignoring Yom Tov Sheni. The less learned of them find the entire notion of Yom Tov Sheni extremely foreign (ba-da-bum! Thank you, I'll be here until Wednesday.) The more learned of them - including numerous rabbanim and talmidei chachamim - all planned to follow the teshuvah by Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, cited in the sefer Yom Tov Sheni K'Hilchaso, explicitly discussing this scenario. Ordinarily, an Israeli spending Yom Tov abroad may not perform melachah on Yom Tov Sheni - at least in public. But places such as Daios Cove, where I am, are different. While there is a long history of Jews in Crete, the only Jewish community still extant (and they don't even get a minyan) is over a hundred miles away, at the other end of the island. In such a situation, rules Rav Shlomo Zalman, there is no reason for residents of Eretz Yisrael to refrain from melachah - even in the presence of people from Chutz l'Aretz. He states that this does not cause discord, since everyone understands that there is a mix of Israelis and chutznikim present.
But you can always count on Jews to cause discord!
The Rav supervising the kashrus at the resort follows Rav Wosner's psak for such a situation. He rules that if there is even a single Jew from Chutz l'Aretz present, the Israelis may not perform any melachah in public. Furthermore, the entire atmosphere must be one of Yom Tov Sheni. As a result, on the first day of Chol HaMoed, the Israeli minyan (with the majority of guests!) had to take place at the same time as the Diaspora minyan, and there was no food served until kiddush at 11am followed by lunch at 1.30pm - much to the annoyance of people such as myself, with small children who can't wait until that time to eat. Meanwhile, there were Israelis walking around the lobby dressed in a non-Chag manner, and renting cars!
But it was on Isru Chag that things really got weird.
The mashgiach kashrus insisted that the Israelis not wear tefillin in their own Shacharis minyan! He said that instead they have to put tefillin on surreptitiously in their rooms later during the day. The other rabbanim on the program, who were, shall we say, not exactly happy with this, instead organized a "secret" Shacharis minyan, for the majority of the guests, at a concealed location in the far end of the resort. Meanwhile, there are several guests checking out today, plenty of non-Yom-Tov activity in the lobby, and lots of Israelis riding the funicular (for those that are particular about the vernacular, a funicular is an elevator/cable car that rides up a slope).
It's a bizarre situation, and it's not clear what should be done. On the one hand, the mashgiach is presumably to be considered as the mara d'asra, and thus his psak should determine the situation. On the other hand, when the other rabbanim on the program (who are the ones with a public role, giving shiurim) follow Rav Shlomo Zalman, and the majority of guests have absolutely no intention of publicly refraining from melachah on Yom Tov Sheni, it's a little unrealistic to expect this to happen - and thus there effectively is no atmosphere of Yom Tov Sheni.
The mashgiach kashrus insisted that the Israelis not wear tefillin in their own Shacharis minyan!
Never understood the whole not putting tefillin on chol hamoed thing. Putting tefillin every day other than Shabbat and Yom Tov is a d'oriyta commandment isn't it? So how could this commandment be nullified / ignored? Who has the authority to do such a thing? Is this one of those kabbalistic things?
Lets wait and see if the mashgiach reads your blog!
Following up on your previous post, what did this fanatical Chareidi mashgiach serve everybody for maror? Did he insist on grated hroseradish?
What did all the Chareidim on this trip use for maror?
Non chag clothes during chol hamoed? Is thus normal practice in your circles?
Sounds like a classic case of the policy begetting the opposite of the intended outcome of לא תתגודדו.
n.b. I assume that RNS posted this blog with his curtains drawn tightly!
It wasn't Chol HaMoed, it was Yom Tov (for the chutznikim).
There is, in fact, a big machlokes haposkim if tefillin should be worn on Chol haMoed. It is not only based on the Kabbalah.
Hey, when this fiasco began on the second day of Pesach why didn't you guys resolve it to prevent Part II on the 8th day?
Rishonim that one should wear tefillin on Hol HaMoed.
did put on tefillin on Hol HaMoed up until the period of the advent of Hassidut.
Actually, a rationalist would keep two days in chu'l no matter where he lived, and one in Israel no matter where he lived. Think about it.
The word "But" at the beginning of the second paragraph of my post above should be omitted.
Did the hotel serve Gebrochts? If not, how did you fulfil Kidush Bemokom Seuda? Did you wash for Kidush or is there some other solution?
He may be the mashgiach. You're a big boy who can carry his own freight. You don't have to follow his orders. Leave the whole Infallible Pope thing to the Catholics.
did put on tefillin on Hol HaMoed up until the period of the advent of Hassidut."
Too bad the evil kabbalists burned all the sources to support your claim.
How is this different from visiting a town/shul that does not follow your minhagim? You voluntarily joined this program knowing there is a Rav overseeing it.
Why didn't you just form your own minyan in private rooms?
I am not sure this is the case. If I understand RSZA psak correctly, he believes that in such a case, there is no local minhag, and everybody can/should behave as if they are at home. If there is no local minhag, there cannot be a local rav/mara d'asra.
It's a bizarre situation, and it's not clear what should be done.
Well, this is 2011, you cannot be forced to follow anyone's psak, so let this mashgiach personally follow R.W. and have done with it.
But it seems he did at least have the power over the lunch serving times, though. Peculiar. Why was one rabbi allowed to control the food this way? Isnt there a resort manager in charge? Instead of grumbling about some extremist rabbi's view, the Israelis should not have let him push his views on them in the first place.
We are here observing only the effect of the problem. The root of the cause is when Rabbis Auerbach, Zalman, Wosner, and others had failed to enlighten us as how to tolerant and have common respect for the differentiations of our fellow Jews in situations such as these.
As stated in Noach 11:9 Rashi. In the generation of the flood the people had strife between themselves and Hashem brought upon them the great flood and destroyed them. But in the generation of the dispersion (Tower of Bavel) although they waged war against the Almighty, had yet conducted themselves with love and friendship and Hashem did not desroyed them. So we may learn from this that strife is detested and that peace is great.
If seeing others observing Chol Hamoed while they are observing Yom Tov Sheni is found disturbing, then they never had their faith deeply rooted. Because they obviously feel that if they have to observe it, then everyone has to. A weakness of faith. Is it not?
Given that the Chacham Tzvi's logic (that the takana is not a difference in the customs of different communities but is a universal custom to observe 1 or 2 days depending on location) would seem to be irrefutable, you all should have observed 2 days of yom tom in Crete, even if that isn't what the Mechaber (and R. Shlomo Zalman, R. Wosner, R. Moshe, etc) says. And the Rav quoted his father in the name of Rav Chaim saying so, although he said one must also be choshesh for the opinion of the Mechaber l'chumra.
So it is not ONLY because of the minhag, but rather minhag + reason provided. note: This is not to deny your question, and indeed I'm not answering it.
I personally also see the forceful logic of the Chacham Tzvi's approach. Nonetheless, almost no chutznikim rely on it l'kula in Israel, so it is not surprising that Israeli's do not abide by it l'chumra in chu'l.
Perhaps the fault lies with us and not the said Rabbis?
Since when is a Mashgiach a mara de-atra?
Rambam is fairly clear that what was once "just" a minhag was actually legislated midrabbanan so it became law.
"almost no chutznikim rely on it l'kula in Israel,"
You need to meet more people. The numbers of those who keep one day (or a day and a half) in Israel is increasing. Many even eat chametz.
"so it is not surprising that Israeli's do not abide by it l'chumra in chu'l."
You hang out with weird people.
At any rate, this is one of those rare situations where your "cherem" could be of advantage.
Walk up to the fanatical mashgiach, loudly announce who you are and how you don't regret a single word in your book and then remind him that he has to skedaddle to avoid being near you. Once he's gone, announce to folks that they can do whatever they want.
The fact that we have a fixed calendar has not escaped chazal. Indeed, chazal fixed the calendar, yet they continued to respect yom tov shein shel galiyut - difficult or not. Why is that?
"Perhaps the fault lies with us and not the said Rabbis."
We are taught by most right wing orthodox Rabbis that there is only one ruling and anything that deviates from said ruling is tantamount to sin.
But the reality of it is, (for those who have such a Rabbi). One Rabbi puts forward a ruling and another Rabbi dictates an opposite ruling. And no one because of fear that the other is committing a sin, and being disrespctful to their own Rabbi's rulings will desire to tolerant the practice of different traditions in their presence.
If the Rabbis would have included in each one of their rulings (yes - each one, because peace is great) the importance of tolerance and respect for those who differ and which shows even more so respect for the other's Rabbis. Only then would it be justified to say that the fault lies with us.
Nachum, I agree with you completely.
1 day in Israel, 2 outside regardless of who you are.
Makes the most sense because it's a teqana, firstly, NOT a minhag.
In addition, everyone follows the same thing in the purest form of unity.

This self rising containment berm is quick to deploy, requires no assembly and can be driven on from any angle. The unique design of this containment berm allows the sidewalls to stay lowered during normal operation, reducing the tripping hazard.
Berg proudly manufactures a high quality line of spill containment berms to provide secondary spill containment for vehicles, drums, tanks, bladders, IBCs and more. We have many standard sizes in stock ready to ship to help comply with SPCC and EPA spill containment regulations.
Our secondary containment berms are made in the USA at our manufacturing facility in Spokane, WA. All of our spill berms come standard with industry leading XR-5 Geomembrane that easily outlasts lower quality materials used by our competition. Backed by a 1 year manufacturing and 5 year prorated material warranty, you won't find higher quality berms.
Our Flexwall Berm is a unique and innovative combination of the our Snap Up and Throw N' Go berm technologies. Utilizing the low cost and quick setup of the Snap Up design in the sidewalls and the self-rising capability of the Throw N' Go for the endwalls, the Flexwall berm gets the best of both worlds.
The economical design of our Snap Up berm is quick and easy to set up and provides secure containment for small and large capacity needs. PVC support brackets provide sturdy sidewall support and can be quickly lowered for easy access.
Designed for equipment maintenance and portable drum containment, our Foam Berm provides low profile containment than can be easily driven over by vehicles, dollies and other equipment. The foam in the sidewalls of this spill containment berm retain their shape and allow this berm to be quickly deployed with no additional setup.
Manufactured with 24 inch sidewalls, our Throw N' Go containment liner is designed specifically for secondary containment of large tanks and bladders. The increased sidewall height allows for a smaller footprint while providing complete containment.
The Throw N' Snap berm is a modified version of our Throw N' Go self rising berm allowing it to be used as effective containment at lower temperatures without the risk of snow load hindering the ability for the sidewalls to rise.
