One of the risks of shoving branded content under the broad umbrella of “native advertising” has long been that branded content would be thought of just that—ads, not high-quality journalism funded by brands. When branded content is thought of as the latter, it’s at its best. When thought of as the former, it’s at its self-promotional worst. And thanks to the race to bring programmatic-buying capabilities to sponsored content, it appears that the “branded content as ads” mindset is picking up steam.
Last week, AdAge reported on some new “pretty smart” solutions to “transform the world of sponsored content into a more programmatic buying experience.” These solutions are all trying to do pretty much the same thing: create standard IAB ad units for branded content to live in, so that it can be bought and sold and retargeted at scale on ad exchanges.
This, according to AdAge, solves two problems: first, to automate the buying process and aid in targeting and measurement, and “[s]econd, it is walling off the sponsored content into ad units rather than running them in stream. This keeps the church-state wall between advertising and editorial intact.”
It’s the “walling off” part that’s worrisome. Brand-sponsored content works best when it appears alongside regular editorial content — “in-stream,” so to speak — it forces brands and publishers to work together to create a high-value experience that the publisher’s audience will love and where authenticity is top-of-mind. If publishers are just selling ad space, they’ll hardly care about the quality of the product, and this dynamic will dissolve. In all likelihood, a lot of self-promotional drivel will start to fill those ad spaces.
In addition, pretty much the only people who click on banner ads do so accidentally. It’s easy to see how this will deliver a boost for ad exchanges and media buyers, but it’s hard to see how imprisoning branded content in ad units will help publishers and brands engage with their users.
The desire to bring programmatic retargeting to branded content makes sense, but publisher sites may not be the place to do it. Instead, marketers could look to social media solutions; FBX’s new Page Post Ads now allow brands to retarget users with relevant content right in their Facebook streams, and it’s likely that Twitter and other networks will soon follow suit.
The publishing and marketing world has built a great thing over these past years. Let’s not go ahead and mess it up.

Tech-metal young guns Shields are building a career brick by (Ku)brick
Are we pre-programmed creatures of instinct, or a product of our environment? Which is more important… nature or nurture?
Whatever you believe, there’s no denying that Sam Kubrick – grandson of legendary filmmaker Stanley – has more than a little creative dynamism lurking in his DNA, as one listen to his band Shields’ new EP, Guilt, should confirm.

NASA has the best views. The space agency's weather-watching Terra satellite caught sight of a spectacular cloud formation on Nov. 28 when a in the US.
The satellite view makes it look like someone bleached a giant rainbow and laid it across a wide swath of the US from Nebraska to the Great Lakes. NASA highlighted the lovely formation on Thursday as its Earth Observatory image of the day.
The elegant, curving line is formed from cirrus clouds shaped by a jet streak. A jet streak is an intense sub-stream of winds tucked into a jet stream, a fast-moving air current in the upper atmosphere. NASA said these streaks are "important to the formation of winter storms because they are associated with rising air, which can trigger clouds and precipitation."
Jet streaks can be hard to spot in satellite images, but the cirrus arc on display here is a giveaway. It's a rare view of a scenic formation that rivalsfrom space.

Exploiting Sicilian Brassica oleracea L. complex species for the innovation of the agricultural systems and products: a review analysis
Brassica crops have followed several evolutionary pathways leading to modern cultivars, which are widely grown around the world. Broccoli, cauliflower and kale have their candidate center of origin and diversity in the Mediterranean basin. Their primary gene pool has been under evaluation for a few decades in southern Italy and especially in Sicily. The high diversity of kale, broccoli and cauliflower, which belong to the Brassica oleracea L. species, seems to reflect different steps of the same domestication process undergone in establishing these crops. In addition, the diversity within and between Sicilian landraces has started to be well understood. This great diversity has been exploited in Sicily for different processing purposes, such as in the case of the loose curd landraces of violet and green cauliflower, and of the sprouting and apical dominant landraces of broccoli. The richness of types and forms diffused in Sicily, mainly in peri-urban farms and home gardens, is also paralleled with a wide range of wild Brassica species (n=9) which are widespread throughout the Mediterranean coasts and islands, and which in some areas seem to easily intercross with the widely cultivated B. oleracea crops. These wild relatives represent a broad source of diversity that could enhance the diversity of the existing crops. During recent decades, several authors have identified the contribution of wild and cultivated Brassica germplasm to the improvement of agronomic and nutraceutical traits of Brassica crops, such as resistance to pests and diseases. The high content of health-related compounds, like glucosinolates, anthocyanins, carotenoids, total polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and their profiles clearly distinguish them from the hybrids F1, largely grown all around the world, and is utilized as phytochemical descriptors for the traceability of the products. This discussion focuses on the main results and perspectives devoted to the innovation of food and agriculture, thanks to the investigation and use of the Mediterranean gene pool of the B. oleracea complex species (n=9).

The availability of LowBoard panels, as an integral part of Omnie’s offering to the market, has made the multiple benefits of underfloor heating accessible to property owners and building professionals addressing retrofit and other challenging situations.
The low profile panels have been used extensively by heating companies, property developers and general contractors, to introduce energy efficient heat delivery, where other UFH systems simply would not fit. The routed timber boards feature an aluminium layer bonded over their surface and are installed over the existing floor construction, then covered by a 6mm sheet of ply or final floor finish completing the installation.
LowBoard comes in 15mm and 22mm thicknesses as well as a specialist 26mm acoustic version to assist with attenuation. The underfloor heating panels are floated or mechanically fixed over a flat timber or solid sub-floor. The panel has a multi-directional design, offering stability and simplicity when being set out across the ground or upper floor construction
also making the installation of the heating pipe rapid and flexible enough to suit complex room shapes.
Not only does LowBoard offer a completely dry system, the inclusion of the foil diffuser further speeds the warm up time without eating up headroom or requiring expensive alteration to doors and skirting boards.
The in-house manufactured Omnie underfloor heating systems – which also include Torfloor and FoilBoard – provide an easy to install means of distributing warmth throughout a property and, correctly specified, can enable condensing boilers, heat pumps or other renewable technologies to operate at higher efficiency levels than using conventional radiators.
Underfloor heating also helps create a healthier indoor environment, with a more even heat profile within the occupied spaces, while keeping the walls free from unsightly radiators.
Omnie offers a full technical design and support service to consultants and contractors, from inception to delivery and beyond.

The message, purportedly created by a member of a Organization for a Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, was sent to his higher-ups in Jun 2018, weeks after he says he and others “conducted a review into a purported chemical conflict in Douma” on Apr 7 of that year. The attack, that a Syrian supervision has been blamed for, left during slightest 43 people dead.
“After reading this mutated report… we was struck by how most it misrepresents a facts,” a email reads. “Many of a contribution and observations summarized in a full chronicle are inextricably companion and, by selectively omission certain ones, an unintended disposition has been introduced in a report, undermining a credibility.”
The email adds: “In other cases, some essential contribution that have remained in a redacted chronicle have morphed into something utterly opposite to what was creatively drafted.”

The author takes emanate with a breeze chronicle observant that a “team has sufficient justification during this time to establish that chlorine, or another reactive chlorine-containing chemical, was expected expelled from cylinders,” essay that a line is “highly dubious and not upheld by a facts.”
“The usually justification accessible during this impulse is that some samples collected… were in hit with one or some-more chemicals that enclose a reactive chlorine atom,” he pronounced in a email. “Purposely singling out chlorine gas as one of a possibilities is disingenuous.”
The breeze chronicle of a news also “states that a gas was expected expelled from a cylinders,” a author notes, though “the strange news intentionally emphasized a fact that, nonetheless a cylinders competence have been a sources of a suspected chemical release, there was deficient justification to attest this.”
The member concludes his email by job for a OPCW to recover his team’s fact-finding news “in a entirety as we fear that this redacted chronicle no longer reflects a work of a team.”
“If a redacted chronicle is to be released, we respectfully ask to insert my incompatible observations,” he adds.

Fernando Arias, a OPCW’s director-general, used his opening matter to a group’s annual assembly in The Hague on Monday to urge a final report, that he says was written following clever care of all information.
“I mount by a just and veteran conclusions reached by a fact-minding mission,” he said.
In a matter expelled in March, a OPCW pronounced their group visited Douma, analyzed samples taken from a stage and from people affected, interviewed witnesses and complicated toxicological and ballistics analyses.
The investigators were behind by several days from reaching a stage by confidence concerns, heading to fears that justification could reduce or be spotless up.

But a information they eventually amassed and complicated supposing “reasonable drift that a use of a poisonous chemical as a weapon” took place, a OPCW said.

Just my favorite restaurant in this little town. They have sooo tasty food! (And a friend who has been in India says that it tastes really like in India, too. ) I have acctually just eaten there once som far, but I know that I will return many times. Athmosfere is really nice and friendly, but I think the furniture and look of the restaurant is okey and nice, but a bit unnecessary usual and neutral for my taste. But still really okey. I recommend this place!!!
Favorite Dish: This far I have just eaten lunch, wich was a buffet where you could choose from a couple of dishes (some vegetarian but most of them with meat) and some kinds of rice and a very taasty bread. People say that it is even more tasty in the evening (of course)!
(Lunch is cheaper than prices in the evening, we payed 75 Swedish crowns, I think that is some 7-8 euro).

Football is back, with a vengeance.
Thursday night featured blow outs in nearly every game except for the one between Trabuco Hills and Capistrano Valley. And if it wasn’t for the 73 players cramping during the game, this game could have been considered a classic.
I mean there’s nothing like starting football season than back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns. Sprinkle in some great touchdown grabs, big hits, some good defense, and you got yourself a bona fide barnburner.
Trabuco QB Jonathan Newsom was outstanding, throwing for two touchdowns. One of them was to Lucas Hoover who grabbed an interception as well.
“Jon’s a stud,” Hoover said. “He’s underrated, so watch out everybody, he’s coming.”
Capo Valley seemed to respond to the Trabuco attack in the first half, but the Cougars were limited to only seven points in the second half, after the Cougars brought it defensively.

Last week I took a road trip to the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec with two good friends. The company, conversation and scenery where an intoxicating mix filled with adventures, challenges and delicious food, we were all sad when it came time to head home.
We did several challenging hikes on the Appalachian Trail, one to the very tip of Cape Gaspe where the trail begins/ends and two to various mountain peaks with stunning views (once the fog lifted or before the rain clouds rolled in).
This view of L'Anse Blanchette in Forillon National Park overlooking the Gulf of the St Lawrence set off little sparks of inspiration for a new rug hooking - stay tuned.

Blackpool v Forest: Early Kick Off
The game between Blackpool and Nottingham Forest on April 25th has seen its kick off time brought forward.
The Championship fixture was originally a 3pm kick off, but has now moved to 12:30.
The kick off time has been moved on police advise after trouble between the two sets of supporters in recent games. A group of Forest fans infamously trashed the Swift Hound in 2006 and have only been back once since then - which was a night game.


Apple has been in the clouds since the launch of the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max in the final quarter of 2020. If the Cupertino company never discloses the number of devices sold annually, other elements suggest that those 5G devices have sold well.
And for those who haven’t bought these models yet, but plan to do so, there’s some good news: Apple just announced that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are now available in purple.
This announcement was made during Apple’s Spring Loaded event on Tuesday April 20th. “The incredible iPhone 12 is the world’s most popular smartphone, and the iPhone 12 family has a customer satisfaction rate of over 99%. The new purple finish, just in time for spring, adds another bright and fun option to the range, and we believe customers will love it, ”said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of global marketing. “This gorgeous new color compliments the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini families, available in five other stunning styles. It includes an advanced dual camera system, Super Retina XDR display, enhanced durability and A14 Bionic – the smartest chip. Fast never seen in a smartphone – great battery life and the best 5G experience. “”
The purple versions of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini can be pre-ordered from April 23rd and will be available on April 30th. Apple is also announcing the availability of matching accessories for these purple models.
Apple is likely hoping the addition of this new color could boost sales of these two models (at a time when many sources suggest that the iPhone 12 mini isn’t doing very well compared to the other three models).

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux announced today that it has signed an area development agreement with Mark McFarland and Hunter Rougeou to introduce the award-winning restaurant to the Raleigh community.
The Raleigh location will mark the third Walk-On’s in North Carolina and first for longtime friends and first-time franchisees McFarland and Rougeou.

McFarland and Rougeou pride themselves on taking the best care of their patients, so they came away impressed that Walk-On’s prides itself on providing the same level of care to its guests with an attentive staff, the freshest ingredients in its cuisine and a willingness to give back to the community. The franchisee duo plans to develop future locations throughout the Atlantic Coast.
“We’re excited to welcome Mark and Hunter to the Walk-On’s family as franchisees,” says Walk-On’s Founder and CEO Brandon Landry. “The North Carolina market has been great for Walk-On’s and we know it will only get better as more locals get a Taste of Louisiana. These guys are successful professionals and know how to take care of people, which is what our Walk-On’s purpose is all about!”
At Walk-On’s, each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients to bring its mouthwatering, Americana and Cajun cuisine to life. The diverse menu features unique twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays, such as Crawfish Etouffee, Duck & Andouille Gumbo and Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding.

The full House last week approved the 2008 war supplemental appropriations bill, which now includes the post-9/11 GI bill that targets veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan operations and was introduced by Sen. James Webb (D-Va.). Although Administration and other critics declared the new GI bill too costly, President Bush indicated in a statement June 20 that he would sign the war supplemental legislation and praised the new GI bill effort. Webb acknowledged the White House approval in a statement: The measure has “received meticulous scrutiny and the full support of every major veterans’ organization. It will pay for a veteran’s tuition, books, and a monthly stipend, along the lines of the benefits given to those who returned from World War II. As such, it fulfills the pledge I made on my first day of office to provide today’s veterans with the opportunity to move forward into an absolutely first-class future. … I am looking forward to the President living up to his word.” The Senate already has signed on to the GI bill measure, but it must now vote on the entire bill.

A 29-year-old engineer has become the talk of town after it emerged he is Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro’s lookalike and some people even mistakes him for the MP.
Stephen Gachukia says some people even ask him if he is the twin brother of the outspoken legislator who was arrested by a battalion of police recently.
The orphan from Ndunyu ya Chege in Gatanga, Murang’a County is a 2016 graduate of Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree from Technical University of Kenya. He is a former student of Thika High School where he scored A- (Minus).
He now lives at Kahawa West, Nairobi and is the Kahawa Farmers PCEA Youth Chairman, besides doing simple jobs to earn a living.
read: Meet Kibaki lookalikes
“When people started talking about my likeness with Nyoro my friends advised me to pull down some of my photos on Facebook and avoid donning in suits not to be confused with Nyoro who police wanted and it was unclear what they wanted to do with him. I was scared” Gachukia says.
He says he lost his mother while he was very young, did not meet his father. Was brought up by grandparents and his education was catered for by well-wishers.
But though he is a lookalike of a prominent Kenyan, they are world apart. Whenever he gets a job opportunity and passes the requirements he is asked to part with something, forcing him to lose the opportunity.
“To those who think I am related with Nyoro and even loaded, that is not the case. I am just like any other hustler in this country. It is only resemblance we share” Gachukia says.

Treat yourself to unrivaled freshness and flavor, delivered straight from the Atlantic sea. There's nothing like the taste of a beautiful scallop from our icy cold Maine waters - sweet, with a hint of the briny ocean.
Coveted worldwide for premium freshness and flavor, our Maine Dayboat Scallops are incomparably plump and meaty - and are "dry packed" (never treated with preservatives) which make for superior flavor and texture. These treasured beauties migrate inshore to feed in our clean bay waters, where they become extraordinarily plump and succulent. Here along our Maine coastline they are harvested in the morning and brought to market the same day. When harvested by drag by fishing vessels who fish and return the same day, they are sold as “Dayboat” scallops.
Shipped overnight to your doorstep fresh - not frozen - for the ultimate Maine seafood indulgence. We love our fresh Maine scallops sauteed in the pan as a starter course, or as a healthy (and decadent!) main course in a seafood paella, brodetto, or served over pasta.
Our lavish Maine sea scallops are 10-20 (meaning there are approximately 10 to 20 scallops per pound). These are the ULTIMATE in sea scallops, and a pride of our Maine fishing community. Experience them while you can!
