This post is based on insights from the Sailthru ebook "2015 Marketing Technology Predictions: The Future of Marketing" available for download now.
In manufacturing, the past few years have seen mass customization become not only a huge hit, but something expected by consumers. Nike's iD site lets customers design the look and fit of their shoe to make a fashion statement that's uniquely theirs. Motorola's Project Ara goes beyond simply customizing the look of a phone to allow customers to swap out displays, keyboards and extra batteries. Across industries, mass customization has allowed producers to meet each individual customer's varied needs with the efficiency bestowed by mass production techniques.
In 2015, this same philosophy, and its execution, will come to marketing. Marketers will finally achieve the holy grail of creating customized marketing messaging for every individual, at scale, without breaking the bank.
There are two things that will allow advanced, personalized marketing to finally take center stage in 2015. First, customers will demand it. Second, the technology is ready for prime time.
It may sound strange to say that customers are demanding a particular type of marketing. But think about it: There's been a lot of conversation over the past five to 10 years not just about banner blindness, but about customers' ability to tune out just about any marketing message.
Frankly, the reason customers tune out so many messages is that they know that we, as marketers, can do a lot better. Customers are fully aware that certain aspects of their personal information are well known to marketers, and can be discovered by anyone with a working knowledge of Google. So a 30-year-old married woman without children is right to stop responding when presented with pitches for toddler clothes. She assumes, and has every right to assume, that we will treat her like the person she is. It shouldn't matter if she's interacting with a brand from her phone, her tablet, or a laptop, or even browsing in a physical store.
The most savvy marketers have been collecting the data needed to personalize offers and have put it to use at scale. Unfortunately, most have been saddled with processes that are often time-consuming and expensive, thanks to legacy technologies making promises upon which they cannot fully deliver. To boot, these marketers have also long been trusting third-party data sources that don't deliver the quality of information needed to truly automate and execute a personalization strategy.
Mass customization saves marketers from having to keep investing in novel ways to break their total audience into smaller and smaller segments, each of which remains unwieldy. Now marketers can look at the individuals who make up their audience, and use technology to design experiences specifically for each person. This kind of "mass personalization" is now within reach of mere mortals whose marketing budgets have not yet reached the stratosphere. Its time has come.

Blood Clot Symptoms: What to Watch Out for, and When to See a Doctor
Blood clots can cause different symptoms depending on what kind they are and where they're located.
Heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism—all three medical emergencies happen in different parts of the body, and yet they have something in common: They can all be caused by a blood clot.
According to the National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA), approximately one person dies every six minutes as a result of a blood clot. They're so dangerous because they can impede or block blood flow to vital organs in the body, Amita Avadhani, PhD, associate professor, Advance Practice Division, School of Nursing at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, tells Health. "Our vital organs such as brain, lungs, and heart need oxygen to function. Without oxygen, the brain cells start dying after four minutes, causing permanent damage to the organs and their functionality as the time progresses."
Not all blood clots are created equal, though. Blood clots "can range from mildly symptomatic and recoverable to fatal," Elad I. Levy, MD, professor and chair of neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo, tells Health.
While your overall risk of having a blood clot is fairly low, they can and do happen. Here's what you need to know about blood clots and their symptoms.
What exactly is a blood clot?
Your blood is typically in a liquid state, but a blood clot is a gel-like clump of blood, the Mayo Clinic explains. Blood clots can be helpful in certain situations, like when you have an injury or a cut, to help plug the injured blood vessel and stop the bleeding.
But blood clots can form inside your body without a good reason, and block blood vessels—this is called thrombosis. Those can travel to critical areas of your body, like your lungs, brain, or heart, causing serious and sometimes fatal complications like a pulmonary embolism (when a blood clot travels to your lungs), a stroke (when one reaches the brain), or a heart attack (a blood clot in the heart).
What are the types of blood clots?
In order for blood to reach all parts of your body—from the top of your head to the tip of your toes—you have a circulatory system which is made up of blood vessels called veins and arteries. (Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to get reoxygenated.)
Because there are two types of vessels that carry blood throughout your body, there are also two types of blood clots: arterial clots, which occur in the arteries, and venous clots, which form in the veins.
Blood clots can also be categorized based on their movement—or whether or not they're mobile. According to MedlinePlus, a blood clot that forms inside a vein or artery is called a thrombus (these can also form in your heart). But a blood clot that breaks free and moves from one part of the body is known as an embolus (or the plural form, emboli).

Arterial clot
This type of blood clot—known as an arterial embolism, when the clot or thrombus comes from elsewhere in the body—usually happens in the legs and feet, and interrupts blood flow to other parts of the body, according to the US National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus resource. Symptoms come on quickly or slowly, depending on the size of the clot and how much it blocks the flow of blood. You may not have any symptoms at all, per MedlinePlus.
Symptoms of an arterial clot or embolism in the legs or arms include:
A cold arm or leg
Decreased or no pulse in an arm or leg
Lack of movement in the arm or leg
Pain in the affected area
Numbness and tingle in the arm or leg
Pale color of the arm or leg
Weakness of an arm or leg
The longer an arterial clot blocks blood flow, other symptoms can emerge:
Blisters on the skin near the affected artery
Skin shedding
Skin erosion (ulcers)
Tissue death, or necrosis.
If an arterial clot occurs in an organ, symptoms depend on the affected organ. An arterial clot that occurs in the brain can lead to a stroke, and one that forms in the heart can lead to a heart attack. But arterial clots can also show up in the kidneys, intestines, and even eyes—though those are rare. In general, symptoms of arterial clots in organs look like:
Pain in that part of the body
Temporarily decreased organ function
I Was Young And Active, But A Blood Clot In My Leg Almost Killed Me
Venous clot
A venous clot forms in a vein and can build up over time. The most serious form of a venous clot is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition that happens when a blood clot forms in a deep vein—as opposed to more superficial veins that are closer to the body's surface—the CDC says. Those clots usually develop in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis, but they can also occur in the arm.
The most serious complication of DVT happens when a part of the clot breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs, the CDC explains. There, it can cause a blockage called pulmonary embolism (PE), stop blood from flowing to the lungs, and lead to death. DVTs, however, do not lead to heart attacks or stroke, per the CDC.
Symptoms of DVT can include:
Symptoms of a PE can include:
Faster than normal or irregular heart beat
Chest pain or discomfort, which usually worsens with a deep breath or coughing
Very low blood pressure, lightheadedness, or fainting
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is also a venous clot, forming in the brain's venous sinuses, Johns Hopkins Medicine explains. This type of clot—which has recently been linked to a temporary pause on the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after six women developed one—keeps blood from draining out of the brain, which can cause blood to leak into the brain's tissues.
Symptoms of a CVST can include:
Fainting or loss of consciousness
Loss of control over movement in part of the body
When should you see a doctor about a blood clot?
If you have any symptoms of a blood clot, seek medical attention ASAP. "You need to be seen," Anita Gorwara, MD, family medicine physician and medical director of urgent care at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., tells Health. "Don't waste time calling your doctor and waiting for them to get back to you. Go to an urgent care center, your primary care physician's office, or the emergency room, right away."
Timing matters with blood clots. "Cells start dying after four minutes of lack of circulation," says Avadhani. "This is why when someone has a stroke, the chance of damage to the brain can be minimized or eliminated if the clot is identified and treated promptly."
Dr. Levy stresses the importance of not brushing off your symptoms. "If you're unsure, don't assume it's nothing," he says. "Go get checked out."

At <www.yali.gov.co> there is a much bigger one, and the device is clearer.
"This flag was adopted by the municipality of Yalí, through resolution N° 2, of March 5, 1990, by the honourable municipal council. The colours white and green means the peace, tranquility and hope of our people. The yellow background of the circle represents the gold as principal source of wealth in the foundation of Yalí and the potential of solar and hydrolectric energy of our territory. The miner hand is one of the more representative icons of our community and is symbol of the foundation of Yalí and of the tenacity of our people for fight for the progress.

Q: String intern method logic Scenario 1
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String s1 = "Testing";
        String s2 = new String("Testing");
        s2.intern();
        if(s1==s2){
            System.out.println("s1 equals to s2");
        }else{
            System.out.println("s1 is not equal to s2");
        }

    }

OUTPUT: s1 is not equal to s2.
Scenario 2
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String s1 = "Testing";
        String s2 = new String("Testing").intern();
        if(s1==s2){
            System.out.println("s1 equals to s2");
        }else{
            System.out.println("s1 is not equal to s2");
        }
    }

OUTPUT: s1 equals to s2 .
My question is what is the difference between new String("Testing") and new String("Testing").intern() ?

A: Read the documentation for String.intern():

Returns a canonical representation for the string object.

Your code discards the return value, so there's no reason to expect any effect.

A: Java String is immutable, so you must update the s2 reference.
Change s2.intern(); to
s2 = s2.intern();

And it will work the same way.

A: Read the Javadoc of intern() :

When the intern method is invoked, if the pool already contains a string equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method, then the string from the pool is returned. Otherwise, this String object is added to the pool and a reference to this String object is returned.

Since String s1 = "Testing"; adds the String referenced by s1 to the String pool, new String("Testing").intern() returns an instance from the String pool equal to the String created by new String("Testing"), which is the same String instance referenced by s1.
On the other hand, in the first snippet, s2.intern() has no effect. The String equal to "Testing" is already in the String pool, so the String referenced by s2 is not added to the pool. And you are ignoring the return value of that method, which is the String referenced by s1. Therefore s1 and s2 refer to different objects.

Comics: Rough Riders: Ride Or Die #1 - Reviewed
Rough Riders: Ride or Die #1 is the the start of a new tale in AfterShock's Rough Riders series, which is about a group of American legends who team up to save America from some of its greatest and otherworldly threats. The group consists of Teddy Roosevelt, Annie Oakley, Thomas Edison, Jack Johnson, Harry Houdini, and Monk Eastman. Ride or Die is like a twisted combination of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Constantine, pitting these iconic individuals against the darkest of supernatural elements.
Issue 1 of Ride or Die takes place several years after the groups last adventure. They have been disbanded for some time and have not really been in contact with each other since then. Houdini discovers a supernatural entity unleashed into this world during a seance, with the only thing known about this being is that it is named "The Master." Houdini calls the rest of the group back together to investigate and stop what is being unleashed on America. Each character is paired up into two as they travel to different cities to investigate various aspects of what is occurring. The conclusion of the first issue is a major cliffhanger that introduces us to a new major character and leaves many of the group in great danger, which should leave readers anxious to read issue 2.
The art from Patrick Olliffe is superb and embodies the gothic look of the era, as well as the look of gothic horror movies from studios such as Hammer Films. It is full of heavy black shading, intricate details, linework and hatching. I particularly liked some of Olliffe's faces that he drew of some of the characters, whose likenesses are accurate and exact. The colors from Gabe Eltaeb perfectly compliment the time period and embodies what you would typically expect to see in a horror comic.
This will appeal to fans of the Rough Riders series, historical fiction, and the horror genre. With a fun group of characters, a mystical horror entity, and terrific Gothic horror visuals, Ride or Die is worth of checking out.

Edmonton Oilers history: Grant Fuhr brilliant in goal, four unanswered goals sink Detroit Red Wings, May 5, 1988
All of them came in the third period as host Oilers roar back to take Game 2 of Campbell Conference final
Oilers 5 Red Wings 3
Oilers lead series 2-0
May 5, 1988: Down 3-1 after the second period, the Oilers score four unanswered goals in the final frame to win Game 2 of the Campbell Conference final against the Detroit Red Wings 5-3.
The comeback started after Mark Messier served a five-minute penalty for clipping. The Oilers centre stepped out of the penalty box, took a pass from defenceman Craig Muni and, on a breakaway, scored on Red Wings goalie Glen Hanlon, who replaced starter Greg Stefan after Stefan was bowled over by Craig Simpson. Jari Kurri scored 30 seconds later on the next shift, then Simpson scored the eventual winner on a feed from Messier — all three goals came in a span of just more than four minutes. Wayne Gretzky scored on an empty net with 18 seconds to play.
Goalie Grant Fuhr withstood a late-period Red Wings push. "He probably made six brilliant saves," said Oilers coach Glen Sather.
John Chabot, Mel Bridgman and Brent Ashton scored the Red Wings' goals.

2022 Academy Artists
Past Visiting Artists
classical piano festival
Victor Rosenbaum
Internationally known pianist and teacher, Victor Rosenbaum, has been a prominent figure in Boston's musical community for more than five decades, since Gunther Schuller, newly appointed President of New England Conservatory, hired him to teach piano, theory, and chamber music in 1967. Of his very first recital as an NEC faculty member, the Boston Globe wrote: Rosenbaum "makes up for all the drudgery the habitual concert-goer has to endure in the hope of finding the real, right thing". His critical praise continues to this day. Describing his most recent CD, "Brahms: The Last Piano Pieces" (Bridge), which was released in fall 2020, Glyn Pursglove of MusicWeb International said: "Rosenbaum's account of of these pieces seems to me impeccable. The whole disc is magisterial; a mature pianist bringing deep thought and empathy to a series of mature pieces which stand revealed, as clearly as I have heard, as masterpieces. This will be the disc I turn to when I next want to hear any of these remarkable pieces".
Rosenbaum has concertized widely as soloist and chamber musician in the United States, Europe, Israel, Brazil, Russia, and Asia (including 25 annual trips to Japan) in such prestigious halls as Tully Hall in New York and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia. A committed chamber music performer, he has collaborated with such artists as Leonard Rose, Leslie Parnas, Paul Katz, Laurence Lesser, Arnold Steinhardt, Robert Mann, Joseph Silverstein, Roman Totenberg, Eric Rosenblith, James Buswell, Malcolm Lowe, Walter Trampler, and the Brentano, Borromeo, Shanghai, and Cleveland String Quartets, and was a member of two trios: The Wheaton Trio and The Figaro Trio. Festival appearances have included Tanglewood, the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Kfar Blum and Tel Hai (in Israel), Yellow Barn, Kneisel Hall (Blue Hill), Musicorda, Masters de Pontlevoy (France), the Heifetz Institute, the International Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York, the International Music Seminar in Vienna, the Bowdoin International Music Festival, the Festival at Walnut Hill School, the Puerto Rico International Piano Festival,The Art of the Piano Festival in Cincinnati, the Atlantic Music Festival, PianoTexas, and the Eastern Music Festival, where he headed the piano department for five years. Rosenbaum is also a contributor to the online site "Musicale" (WeAreMusicale.com).
Concert appearances have brought him to Chicago, Minneapolis, Tokyo, Beijing, St. Petersburg (Russia), Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and New York, among others. In addition to his absorption in the music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (in particular Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Brahms), Rosenbaum has performed and given premieres of works by many 20th and 21st Century composers, including John Harbison, John Heiss, Peter Westergaard, Norman Dinerstein, Arlene Zallman, Donald Harris, Daniel Pinkham, Miriam Gideon, Stephen Albert, and many others. A musician of diverse talents, Rosenbaum is also a composer and has frequently conducted in the Boston area and beyond.
Rosenbaum, who studied with Elizabeth Brock and Martin Marks while growing up in Indianapolis, and went on to study with Rosina Lhevinne at the Aspen Festival and Leonard Shure in New York (while earning degrees at Brandeis University and Princeton), has become a renowned teacher himself. During his long tenure on the faculty of New England Conservatory, he chaired its piano department for more than a decade, and was also Chair of Chamber Music. Much of his time is now devoted to teaching the young through the NEC Preparatory Division. On the faculty of Mannes School of Music in New York from 2004-2017, he has also been Visiting Professor of Piano at the Eastman School of Music, a guest teacher at Juilliard, and presents lectures, workshops, and master classes for teachers' groups and schools both in the U. S. and abroad, including London's Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, and Guildhall School, the conservatories of St. Petersburg and Moscow, Beijing Central Conservatory, Shanghai Conservatory, the Toho School in Tokyo, Tokyo Ondai, most major schools in Taiwan, the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, and other institutions such as the Menuhin School near London, and the Jerusalem Music Center. Rosenbaum's students have established teaching and performing careers in the US and abroad, and have won top prizes in such competitions as the Young Concerts Artists, Charles Wadsworth International Competition, New Orleans International Competition, Casagrande International Piano Competition, Gina Bachauer Competition, and the New York International Competition, among others. Rosenbaum's sixteen years as Director and President of the Longy School of Music (1985-2001) transformed the school into a full-fledged degree granting conservatory as well as a thriving community music school.
In addition to his Brahms disc, Rosenbaum's recordings on the Bridge and Fleur de Son labels include a Mozart CD, three Schubert discs, one of which was described as "a poignant record of human experience", and two recordings of Beethoven which the American Record Guide named as among the top classical recordings of 2005 and 2020.
The Jerusalem Post wrote of Rosenbaum: "His obvious consciousness of everything he was doing....resulted in rich and subtle nuances of dynamics and shadings and in organically shaped, well-rounded phrases; [while] there was refreshing spontaneity and genuine temperament....the reign of intellect never faltered".
The New York Times put it succinctly after his performance at Tully Hall: Rosenbaum "could not have been better". And a headline in the Boston Globe summed up the appeal of Rosenbaum's playing: "Fervor and Gentleness Combined".
(Mr. Rosenbaum can be reached at vrosenbaum@aol.com)

Our program promotes a wide array of understanding on fine musicianship, and in particular, driven to achieve a high-level of pianism.

No time to create content? Here's an idea for creating quick videos on Youtube using Snapchat.
I'm sure you already know that I'm very active on social media. Nonetheless, I'm always looking for ways to save time.
I started creating short stories on Snapchat. I would save each one on my phone and then use iMovie app to merge all of them to create a single video.
I upload that video onto my Alaa Hassan's Youtube Channel.
In 2016, I decided to step up my game on Medium.com with a new strategy to help boost my personal brand. I want to start using as my eCommerce Diary where I share 3 things I did that day related to eCommerce.
Here's a quick video showcasing this strategy and which you can use for yourself as well.
Here's this month's book to read perfect for improving your online marketing.
Jay Baer's Youtility offers a new approach that cuts through the clutter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life.
Jay Baer is a marketing keynote speaker, consultant, and digital marketing pioneer. He has consulted for more than 700 brands since 1994, including 30 of the Fortune 500. In addition to Youtility, he's co-author of the social business transformation book, The NOW Revolution. Baer runs the popular Convince & Convert blog, and is host of the weekly Social Pros podcast.
I made sure I don't spend more than 1 hour on it. This logo will be used on my website as well as an upcoming intro that will be used in my videos.
Everyday, make it a habit of executing one thing towards your personal brand. Small steps do add up!
Before you can establish your personal brand, you need to discover yourself. Know your strengths, weaknesses, passions and much more. It will help you differentiate yourself from people around you.
After a tribe member commented in our Facebook group wondering what is the importance of having and maintaining a personal brand, I decided to create this short video.
It's very important to first understand the true meaning of personal branding.
It's not about how many likes your Facebook page has, how many followers you have on Twitter or Instagram, the number of connections on Linkedin or the number of visitors you get on your blog.
Personal branding is 1. the first thing that comes to mind about who you are when your name is mentioned and 2. what impact you have on those who know about you.


Shaw Floors is a full service flooring company dedicated to quality, sustainability, innovation & customer service, while making sure they have a positive impact on their community.
Great people. Great products. Great service. Always.

Q: How can I get the values of a Collection generated by IEnumerable in an Array or List? Sorry I have some code that has the function to generate a ListView -> grid from a csv file which is working correctly, my problem would be that I need to get the values of the columns in this case (Directory, Name, Event, Type, etc) and save them in an array or list type structure to be able to be treated with Linq queries and generate another type of view / graph. I have tried many things but I have not been able to extract the values from the Person class.
As a bonus I am using WPF.
public class Person
    {
        public string Directorio { get; set; }
        public string Nombre { get; set; }
        public string Evento { get; set; }
        public string Tipo { get; set; }
        public string Tamaño { get; set; }
        public string Time { get; set; }
        public string Path { get; set; }

        public Person(string directorio, string nombre, string evento, string tipo, string tamaño, string time, string path)
        {
            Directorio = directorio;
            Nombre = nombre;
            Evento = evento;
            Tipo = tipo;
            Tamaño = tamaño;
            Time = time;
            Path = path;
        }
    }
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public IEnumerable<Person> ReadCSV(string fileName)
        {

            string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(fileName, ".csv"));
            return lines.Select(line =>
            {
                string[] data = line.Split(',');
                return new Person(data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3], data[4], data[5], data[6]) ;

            });
        }

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ListViewPeople.ItemsSource = ReadCSV(@"D:\dato.csv");

        }
    }

Q: OLE DB Database Connectivity with R I am trying to connect to an iHistorian Database.  This database is a product of GE and it records process control information.  Anyway, this database is configured with OLE DB drivers.  I am curious if there is a way to connect to this database with R.  Currently, R has a package called RODBC, but this package only connects to ODBC.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

Heliport: Monaco to Nice in 7 minutes!
Home Lifestyle Heliport: Monaco to Nice in 7 minutes!
© Direction de la Communication - Michael Alesi
Monaco Heliport, located by the sea in the Fontvieille district, makes it possible to reach Nice-Côte d'Azur International Airport by taking a seven-minute flight.
Built in 1980, Monaco International Heliport is located in the business district of Fontvieille, where there is a large international population. It is an asset for the Principality, providing a regular link with Nice Airport (France's second-largest airport) via flights taking off from Nice or Monaco every 15 minutes.
Monaco Heliport thus connects with flights departing from and arriving in the French Riviera's capital city and enables passengers to check in right through to their final destination, with direct access to the departure lounges of many airlines.
Passengers travelling with carry-on baggage will be taken directly to the departure lounges in Terminals 1 and 2 of the airport. Nice Airport makes it easier for passengers from Monaco Heliport to pass through customs, by streamlining their transfer.
© Héli Air Monaco
The heliport is a base for two companies: Héli Air, which has carried more than 3 million passengers since it was founded in 1976, and Monacair, the official Monegasque operator of helicopter flights between Nice and Monaco.
Both companies can arrange VIP travel on request, and offer bespoke private flights to Cannes, Saint-Tropez and even Sardinia. They can take passengers to a winter sports resort or for a shopping trip in Milan, Venice or Paris.
Monaco Heliport, which catered to 79,000 passengers in 2019, is due to be renovated in the near future. The aim of this project will be to maximise the available parking space in the hangars and enable the tarmac to handle heavier aircraft, including 10-tonne helicopters.
As part of the Energy and Climate Plan, Monaco Heliport has earned carbon accreditation from the Airports Council International Europe, the first heliport to do so. In 2017, the Civil Aviation Authority, in collaboration with the Monegasque Department of the Environment, established a programme to achieve carbon neutrality and significantly reduce the heliport's greenhouse gas emissions.

I'm looking into affiliate marketing for my blog, actually, so this information is so timely! I am planning to do it within the next month or two. So, thank you so much!
Really great list of the affiliate marketing for bloggers. Thank you for sharing.
I know some people here. You make excellent points which is why I tried affiliate marketing. I never made a penny. I make money through sponsored posts.
The right offer presented to targeted traffic will get you some nice affiliate sales in certain niches. I've done this with some health blogs. It's worth bearing in mind that affiliates usually only get commissions on front-end sales, and perhaps sometimes an upsell or a recurring. But the significant profits are usually made by the product owner on the back-end with higher ticket products (from the customers you find for them) for which you'll get no commissions - one of the advantages of being the product owner with affiliates to sell for you. And also why it's more profitable for the product owner to drive paid traffic to their offers, than it is for their affiliates.
I'm a new blogger and this info helps so much. I have a few affiliate links but haven't made too much just yet. Thanks for sharing!!
It sometimes depends on your niche and targeted audience. Be patient, take some courses to speed up your learning. You'll see the positive result eventually.
Just starting with affiliate, still learning, thanks for the tips!
You are welcome Raquel. Thank you for dropping by.
I started affiliate marketing a few months ago but haven't had seen any money through it. I think my biggest problem is not really understanding what I'm doing. I will definitely be saving this for reference. It's very inspiring!
There are a lot of free resources to get you started. I hope you can find time and focus with affiliate marketing.
Great tips. I love affiliate marketing. You can really earn with your own website. I strated 2 months ago and already have some earnings.
So far I am really enjoying affiliate marketing! It's great to find other brands or services in your niche that you can share with readers and also be compensated a little.
I'm looking to get involved in Affiliate Marketing - I've pinned this post so I can come back to it when I'm more prepared!
This has been on my to do list! I need to make it happen now- thank you!
The explanation was great. Thanks!
This is super informative and for sure something I'm going to be looking into. Thank you!
Great post, I'm new to affiliate marketing but it definitely seems to be the way to go!
I am having a really rough time with affiliate marketing right now. I was doing really well. Not sure if all the changes to Pinterest lately has been a factor.
Awesome post. This is something I'll be investing more in this year!
Great article. I'm an affiliate for a few of the companies/products you have listed. I just need to get traffic to my site.
I enjoy reading this today. I just stared trying to add to my sites. I am really kinda frustrated because I These Sites give directions without really explaining what and how to add codes etc... but I am looking forward to reading more and getting it figured out.
Great post! All us bloggers need to know to take advantage of affiliate marketing. 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing.


Who can resist mini poros wearing onesies?
From Limited Edition figures to poro plushies, Riot Games is offering several new League of Legends merch items to celebrate April Fools' Day.
Special Edition Pizza Delivery Sivir and Moo Cow Alistar are the latest Limited Edition figures in Series Three and are available for $25 and $30, respectively. Like most figures, the two new Limited Edition toys are closely detailed and stand at just under five inches each.
Pizza Delivery Sivir sits atop her delivery scooter with a pepperoni pizza in hand, trailed by a hungry poro, while Moo Cow Alistar, dressed in his iconic cow onesie, bangs on a cowbell on top of a coin-operated bottle of milk.
As part of the Limited Edition series, the Pizza Delivery Sivir and Moo Cow Alistar figures won't be around forever—so fans better act fast if they want to get their hands on the new collectibles.
To further celebrate the holiday, Riot dropped a new line of poro-themed collectibles, including onesie-wearing mini plushies and two poro-shaped cushions. The line of mini plushies comes with four poros in Dino Gnar, Meowkai, Urf, and Tibbers onesies. The two poro cushions, each sold individually, feature a crying and a winking poro.
Finally, the Rengar and Nasus collectible plushies have gone on sale to celebrate the Cats vs. Dogs seasonal event. Both of the toys are being sold at a 20-percent discount, coming to $16 each, until the offer ends on April 24.


The starting point for all drug policy should be keeping people safe. Unfortunately, the family members who struggle and support those battling addiction and illness are often forgotten and their own stories go unheard. The family drug support day is a day to remember that no one suffers alone. It was an honour to be invited to speak there.


An elegant and easy-care style, this top may be worn from pregnancy through to nursing and beyond. Designed with a flattering bubble hem bottom, and yoke seam with soft gather detail at chest. Slightly relaxed fit balances long fitted sleeves. A maternity-nursing wardrobe staple that scores high on both comfort and style. Constructed with side-seam nursing access: lift outer gathered/pleated panel along edges that "open" towards the side seam for easy breastfeeding.


I owe this all to you. Everything. All of it. That's why I would like to give a little back to you.
At 100000 I promised a free track, but here's four free tracks instead for you to grab along.
These are somewhat "dated", but would've otherwise never gotten released.

2008
On February 29, 2008, the Jets traded Vilma to the New Orleans Saints for a fourth-round draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and a conditional pick in the 2009 NFL Draft (ultimately a third-round pick). Jets then-head coach Eric Mangini elected to start linebackers Eric Barton and David Harris in his place.

In his first season with the Saints, Vilma was a bright spot on a weak defensive unit. Vilma played in all 16 games, and recorded 132 tackles with one sack.

2009: Super Bowl year

On February 27, 2009, Vilma signed a five-year, $34 million contract with the Saints. Vilma was elected one of the defensive captains,  led the team in tackles, had three interceptions, and was chosen for his second Pro Bowl. In the NFC championship, Vilma offered a $10,000 injury bounty out on Brett Favre  In Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010, Vilma made several important plays, including making a key defensive audible and deflecting a pass on 3rd and 11 in the fourth quarter. The Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31–17.

2010–2011
Vilma again led the team in tackles in 2010, started every game, and was selected to the Pro Bowl.  In 2011, he started and played in 11 games but was inactive for six others with a knee injury.

2012: Bounty scandal
Vilma was a central figure in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal. The NFL alleged that defensive coordinator Gregg Williams operated an incentive program, which paid out "bounties" for deliberately putting opposing players out of games. The league alleged that Vilma offered $10,000 cash to anyone who knocked Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC Championship Game. Most notably, Favre was forced out of the game for one play with an ankle injury. Although up to 27 players were accused of involvement, Vilma was the only player initially singled out by the league for his role. The NFL suspended Vilma for the entire 2012 season on May 2, 2012. The suspension was reported to be the longest suspension related to in-game misconduct in modern NFL history, dwarfing the previous record of five games handed to Albert Haynesworth for stomping on Andre Gurode's head in 2006. The league contended that Vilma and defensive end Will Smith aided Williams in starting the alleged program in 2009. Vilma found out about the suspension when it was announced on SportsCenter, immediately announced his intent to appeal and adamantly denied that he was involved in any sort of bounty scheme. Vilma filed a personal slander suit against Roger Goodell.

Opinions about the suspensions were divided, as alleged targets like Favre and Kurt Warner claimed that incentive programs were part of the game, which was corroborated by  former players interviewed by Sports Illustrated. On July 26, Vilma and seven witnesses from the Saints (along with a sworn affidavit from Drew Brees) testified to a federal judge in New Orleans that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell misrepresented the facts in the league's investigation. Vilma's suspension was overturned on September 7, and he was reinstated for the 2012 season.  The Associated Press reported Roger Goodell's disappointment in the determination of the arbitration board's ruling.

On October 9, 2012, the league again suspended Vilma, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, Saints defensive end Will Smith and free-agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove. Vilma's suspension lasted throughout the entire 2012 season, but he was allowed to retain his paychecks (when he was on the Physically Unable to Perform list) for the first six weeks of the season.  The suspensions were then reviewed by former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who overruled Roger Goodell and vacated the suspensions on December 11, 2012. Vilma continued his defamation lawsuit against commissioner Goodell, but it was ultimately dismissed in January 2013.

In total, Vilma played in 11 games during the 2012 season.

2013
Vilma underwent knee surgery during the preseason and was placed on the Reserve/Injured Designated for Return list, with the hope that he would recover in time to play during the season. He was reactivated for the Saints' eighth game, a 26–20 loss to his former team, the New York Jets, and was in the game for only 12 defensive snaps.  The following week, he was again placed on injured reserve, ending his 2013 season.

2014
On February 12, 2014, Vilma's contract was not renewed with the New Orleans Saints. He became a guest analyst on Bleacher Report.

Vilma officially retired from football, and was honored by the Saints before their home game on December 6, 2015.

2017
Vilma was inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame on October 29, 2017.

NFL career statistics

Personal life
Vilma is a spokesman for Under Armour and WaterBank of America USA Inc.

His parents, Fritz Vilma and Nelly Banatte, migrated to the United States from Haiti in the 1970s. After the 2010 earthquake, he was active in relief efforts.

Vilma started the Jonathan Vilma Foundation after the 2010 Haiti earthquake to help with the rebuilding efforts in Haiti, in particular a charter school to educate students from elementary school to high school.

Vilma offered $10,000 to hurt Favre, ex-Saints defensive coordinator says in sworn statement. Vilma, who denied in court that he offered money in exchange for injuring the former Vikings quarterback, was one of four players suspended by Goodell in the bounty scandal.

Going strong after three days April 3, 2007
It's actually five days with a slight lapse (one smoke) three days ago...
Part of the trick to quitting smoking is that you need to disassociate stuff that you used to smoke a lot while doing. For me it's most things besides going to church or sleeping. Disassociation takes a lot of doing everything that you smoked during, doing it more often and longer than you did when you smoked, and doing it without smoking. The first of the disassociation process for me was video games.
This weekend Beaner and I played the Wii pretty much all weekend. It was indeed another "Wiikend". Tanks on Wii Play is awesome. We pretty much played three games on Wii Play the whole time, which were Tanks, Shooting Gallery, and the one where you have to find Miis. I'm not sure what it's called. Bean made a Mii, too, which looks a lot like him.
Besides the Wii, I played a lot of STALKER, Rainbow Six Vegas, Company of Heroes, and Sid Meier's Railroads! The latter game was played the most because I bumped up the difficulty from where I'm used to playing, and I bumped up the graphics to 1280x1024 with anti-aliasing on. It looked f@%#@$ing beautiful. It's a slow paced game where smoking would be easiest. You're not always doing something with the keyboard and mouse. You'll set up a route and wait until you're able to make enough money off of it to set up more routes. It's a good financial strategy game. Lots of time to sit back and smoke, which is what made it all the more worthwhile to play it a lot.
Did I mention that my new computer is a goddamn beast?! I think it actually runs cooler than my liquid cooled PC. And I'm telling you, Company of Heroes never looked so good. I have it maxed, but the thing that makes the biggest difference is having the effects maxed. So when my rifle guys are shooting their Browning Automatic Rifles, they kick up dust next to the German soldiers they are shooting at. Or when I drop a howitzer artillery strike on an enemy base, the dirt, concrete, and dudes that it hits all go flying. And I'm so damn good. Zatko and I played a multiplayer game at about 12:30 am Sunday on Seine River Docks. It was him, me and a hard computer vs. an expert, a hard, and a normal computer. Zatko was backed into his corner sucking his thumb, while I was trying to make forward progress the whole time. :) It was a brutal match, but I finally broke through the computer's defenses across from me, and eventually made my way through to the other computers. All without smoking. The only bad thing about online multiplayer is that you can't tell which computer is which. Meaning, I would love to know if I had at least the hard computer across from me. Zatko and I were split with the hard computer between us, and the hard computer wasn't doing anything. So he had a good opponent across from him. I know the CPU player across from me was getting help from someone, so it's not like I couldn't take out a medium. The expert was definitely helping. Anyway, after an hour and twelve minutes, the match was over and we emerged victorious.
Rainbow Six Vegas is a fun game, and it also looks terrific. I had started it on the old computer, but decided that I wanted to go through it from the beginning when I got the new computer up. Well worth it. The combat in it is fun. First person, or even third person, shooters haven't really innovated in terms of combat. I can name a handful... FEAR, Max Payne (1 & 2), Brothers in Arms, and Rainbow Six Vegas.
In FEAR, it was just incredible. I have to install that again. Running up to a dude in slow motion and bashing him across the face with your gun could never be equaled in any game. Or throwing a proximity mine then switching to slo-mo and watching it jump up and explode at eye level with enemy. In Max Payne, again with slow motion, diving and watching all the bullets fly was great. Max Payne 2 introduced a more interactive environment with physics, which became apparent from the start when you shot a dude into a tray full of medical supplies in the hospital and watched it all fly all over the place in slow motion. Brothers in Arms had a less interactive environment than both of those games, and no slow motion, but still it was very innovative. You couldn't kill a guy unless you suppressed and flanked. You could sometimes score a lucky shot, but you had to use the situational awareness (pause and view from above the battlefield) to find the best place to suppress from and the quickest path to flank. Each map was like a puzzle. The third one in that series is sure to be a blast, with a more interactive environment (built on Unreal Engine 3, with destroyable buildings and the like).
I just noticed I'm missing some movies. Sometimes my movies will make their way downstairs. I like to watch them on my MacBook Pro, so the best ones are usually in my bedroom. But sometimes my brothers will take them downstairs where they'll pile up until I collect them. Tonight I collected about 30 of them and brought them back upstairs. That's like half of my collection. But I know that I'm missing some, like Minority Report. I should really keep a better catalog... but once I buy a house, it'll be easier to keep track, since I also have some movies in Jeff's room, like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'll collect them tomorrow. I'll probably end up buying Delicious Library... if there's a way to export it to some format that can be put onto a website easily. That would be a great use of a webservice... send an image with a barcode and get back the details of whatever it is you scanned. Or just a website with an exportable format where you upload images of the barcode (or ISBN for books) and it adds it to your library. The new applications will not be run on my computer, which is what Google has figured out. There's no need for anything but computational intensive applications, or just stuff that you can't do on the web, to be running on my computer. Figure it out, already, stupid internet. I'm out.

Last year on this day, we celebrated the 60th birthday of the visionary Richard Stallman. I don't like to repeat myself, but there is no one who I particularly want to celebrate. Jerry Jeff Walker is a fine singer-songwriter. Bernardo Bertolucci is a great film director. And I'm really fond of actor Alan Tudyk. But Stallman is probably the most important man you've never heard of.
So this day belongs to the great computer scientist and free software advocate Richard Matthew Stallman—often known as RMS, probably because it is a nerdy little mathematics reference. He started the GNU Project, which is what ultimately led to Linux. And he started the Free Software Foundation. As a programmer, his greatest accomplishment is probably writing the first gcc compiler. But I think what is more important has been his leadership in developing the free software movement. We should be building statues to him.
Here is a short interview with him. There is a great line in it, "Innovation is not my highest value; human rights are my highest value." This is from a man who is several quantum levels above the technical expertise of all the pundits and businessmen who rant about innovation. That, in a nutshell, is why I so admire him.

I've been using Jim Holloway's Bread and Milk app since I first got my iPhone in August. It's a shopping list, and it did everything I needed: when I think about something I need, I put it on the list, and when I buy it, I take it off the list. And most importantly, the list is always with me because my phone is always with me. Dead simple, almost Unix-like, until version 1.2.
Bread and Milk 1.2 added a cost-tracking feature. Each item now has a unit price attached, which would be awesome if the grocery stores offered some API so Jim could grab current prices on all these items — but they don't. You have to type in the prices by hand, and that coupled with all the variability in pricing anyway — weekly sales, manufacturers changing their prices, by-weight items when you don't buy an exact weight, prices differing between stores — it makes the "cart total" all but meaningless. Worst of all, it required an extra tab at the bottom of the display whose only purpose is to display the cart total. Big fat waste of real estate.
I wrote Jim to give him some feedback, and he told me that so many people had asked for cost-tracking that he felt railroaded into adding it. Then he warned me that he'd probably be adding another tab to support e-mailing your shopping list to yourself!
[I]t would enable printing a hardcopy of your shopping list as well as providing a sort of 'poor-man's' backup, Jim said. I say, Why the hell do you need a hard copy? It's on your iPhone, that $300 piece of glossy plastic that's in your pocket right now.
This is exactly what 37signals has written about again and again. People always feel like their apps need to do more, that the only metric of an app's progress or value is how many features it sports. We developers need to learn how to tell them to piss off without sacrificing their business. Especially in the world of mobile device apps, simplicity is the name of the game. Usability and performance in mobile apps are affected by bloat much sooner than they are on PCs.
I've incriminated Jim quite a bit here, and that's not my intent. He replied to my first e-mail within a couple hours, and he made it clear that he wasn't happy with these new features but instead felt forced into implementing them. And I'll keep using Bread and Milk because in spite of the extra visual clutter, I'm slapping my forehead a lot less than I used to.

Honda Amaze Hits A Bullock Cart At 90 Km/Hr – Airbags Not Deployed!
Check out this accident where a speeding Honda Amaze hit a bullock cart, but kept the passengers safe. The owner still has one problem.
Honda Amaze has received a 4-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash tests, making it one of the safest Honda cars. Most of the accident examples of Amaze show the airbags not deployed after having a frontal impact. In this scenario as well, the same has happened and we explain why it did not deploy.
In this scenario, this Honda Amaze was travelling at a speed of 90 km/hr on narrow country roads. Suddenly, he hit a bullock cart at this speed as the cart came in front of his Amaze suddenly. The impact on Amaze was not that bad, as the bonnet has been damaged the most here. It has crumpled up from the front and cannot be closed properly.
Also Read: Honda Amaze Involved In A Major Crash At High Speed – See The Impact
Further, the radiator has also received some damage and is bent from one side. Also, the side fenders have received damage and need to be replaced properly. However, there is no impact on the bumper and that's the reason why the airbags have not been deployed. This is the complaint that customer had but was solved immediately.
Cars which have dual front airbags, the impact sensors are located on the bumpers just behind the number plate. On these sensors or that area, the impact needs to come at a speed of more than 40 km/hr and that's when the airbags have been deployed. The owner was completely safe after the accident and drove home right after the accident with the damage.
Honda Amaze gets safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and rear parking camera. City on the other hand gets six airbags on the top-spec trims. However, the former is the only car in India that gets a diesel-CVT combination. Prices of the sedan start at Rs 6.17 Lakhs up to Rs 10 Lakhs (Ex-showroom), making it the costliest one in its class.


Located in a predominantly rural section of Nuckolls County, Nelson has 8 facilities in the vicinity of the city that offers residents a variety of long term care options from which to select from. Moving around in the city of Nelson can be difficult to do without a car or friend or family member to help. Based on information taken from recent studies there are many top nursing home options and hospitals in the nearby area.
It is also possible to find facilities that are there to meet patient needs. Access to on-call specialists like Nutritionists and Psychologists can also be arranged at many long-term care facilities. If religion is essential to you or your loved one, many elder care facilities arrange devotional services on site, while those that offer off-site services usually arranging for a way for them to get there. Some senior care facilities provide kosher meals. They also allow dogs/cats, provide outdoor activities, and provide resident parking for those who are still mobile.
When reaching out to the senior care facilities listed on this page it can be advantageous - though not necessary - to have your loved one's information available. Consider preparing a brief medical history summary. Be sure to include any relevant insurance, doctor and medical center names and phone numbers as the new facility onboarding manager might have some questions and information requests. This kind of information can aid in outlining any specialized care the individual might need, which helps with facility choice.

These BC real estate boards think new property taxes will have little impact on housing markets
Kerrisa Wilson Feb 27, 2018

New BC property taxes announced last week may not be the answer to tackling the province's housing affordability crisis, according to some BC real estate boards.
The NDP government unveiled its 2018 budget last Tuesday, which included a 30-point housing plan to create a fairer housing market as house prices continue to skyrocket, particularly in the Lower Mainland.
The comprehensive plan calls for an increase to Metro Vancouver's foreign buyer tax, raising it from 15 to 20 per cent, and expanding the levy to the Fraser Valley, Central Okanagan and Nanaimo and Capital Regional Districts. A new speculation tax was also introduced, targeting foreign and domestic speculators who don't pay provincial taxes.

However, Victoria Real Estate Board President Kyle Kerr tells BuzzBuzzNews he's unsure if these new levies are the right solution.
"Is this going to help housing affordability? Time will tell, but we don't think so," says Kerr.
The board president notes that foreign buyers currently account for only 4.5 per cent to 5 per cent of sales in Victoria. It's a small percentage compared to Metro Vancouver, where 13 per cent of transactions involved foreign nationals prior to the tax implementation in August 2016.
Kerr argues that extending the tax to Victoria might cause a small, short-term slowdown in sales, particularly in the higher-end of the market, but overall it won't have a significant impact on activity.
"I think in the end it is another revenue driver for the government. I think it might affect a small segment of the market, but I think in the long-run it's not going to have a major impact," says Kerr.
SEE ALSO: New BC housing plan will have a "more muted" impact on market compared to 2016 measures: TD
Fraser Valley Real Estate Board President Gopal Sahota says he's unsure if extending the levy to the Valley will have a notable impact on activity, as foreign purchasers accounted for only 1.4 per cent of transactions in 2017.
In regards to the new speculation tax, both presidents agree that the levy could have a small impact on activity in their respective markets.
Kerr adds that this tax is most worrisome for homebuyers in other provinces, such as Alberta and Ontario, who have part-time property in BC, but now might be deterred from investing in the province.
"In Canada, that's probably the tax that's more concerning to other provinces because you have people who probably don't see themselves as speculators who now might be taxed, and they'll have to determine if that's fair or not," says Kerr.
The Victoria board president is also quick to add that creating these new levies is not the answer to creating a more affordable market.
"If you really want to help the average person on the street, you [have] got to make homes more affordable by reducing the tax burden that you put on people," says Kerr.
For a long-term solution, both Kerr and Sahota agree that more supply is needed across the province.
"Demand [in the Fraser Valley] is outweighing supply right now in every product type, whether it's single-family detached, condos or townhomes," Sahota tells BuzzBuzzNews.
Included in BC's housing plan is a $6 billion-plus investment in affordable housing over the next ten years.


Maxwell's Demon is a concept that seeks to explain what happens when two objects are subjected to different degrees of heat.
The concept of Maxwell's Demon violates the second law of thermodynamics.
The concept of Maxwell's Demon is named after a James Clerk Maxwell. The concept seeks to explain what happens when two objects are subjected to different degrees of heat. The concept that a demon opens door to fast-moving particles making them move to one chamber consequently making it hotter than the other chamber is still being widely researched. The idea has violated the second law of thermodynamics.
The idea was first floated in December 11, 1867, by Maxwell in a letter to Peter Guthrie Tait, his fellow scientist. In 1871, Maxwell again wrote to John William Strutt on the same idea. With their input, Maxwell presented the idea to the public in 1972 through a book titled "Theory of Heat." The name "demon" was first used by William Thomson in the "nature" newspaper in 1874. His research was based on the two laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that energy can be neither be "created nor destroyed" while the second law states that once energy is converted it is irreversible.
Maxwell used two vessels; vessel X and Y with gas inside. The vessels were placed next to each other and a small hole drilled between them. Temperatures were then either lowered or increased in either of the vessels. The molecules in one vessel tended to move depending on the adjustment initiated as a result of acquiring or losing energy. He imagined that a demon guarded the doorway and separated the molecules moving at a high speed from those moving at average speed.
When a fast-moving molecule from X shoots in the direction of the trapdoor, the door is opened by the demon, and the molecule will move from X to Y. The same way when a slower moving molecule from Y rushes towards the trapdoor, the demon will let it pass from Y to X. The approximate speed of the molecules in Y will have increased while in X they will have gradually reduced. Since approximate molecular speed corresponds to temperature, the temperature decreases in X and increases in Y, contrary to the second law of thermodynamics. The demon must allow molecules to pass to either side so as to produce only a temperature variation. The experiment found that the gate separating the two sections opened selectively depending on the speed of the particles.
In 1929, Leo Szilard and Leon Brillouin wondered how the "demon" was able to measure the speed of the molecules. They argued that the theory could not eliminate the thermodynamic rule. They also asserted that the "demon" will, with time, lack space to store the information hence begin erasing the previously stored data. Scientifically it is not possible to get out more energy than you put in. The process of opening and closing the "demon" gate requires some energy consumption. This means that to identify the hot or cold molecules, more energy is required making Maxwell's idea questionable since it would trigger the opening of the gate even for cold molecules.
