Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the 370 graduating seniors at Mountlake Terrace High School during the Class of 2023 commencement at Edmonds School District Stadium Saturday.
Associated Student Body President Laraine Sims opened the ceremony by recounting — after scrolling through her camera roll on her phone — the graduates’ journey through four years of high school, starting with their first year as nervous freshmen. That transitioned into remote learning for the last part of freshman year and all of sophomore year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I saw us rise above the challenge of the pandemic and come out stronger,” Sims said. “And then, I saw us turn into juniors. Finally, upper classmen. We were back in class and better than ever.”
Despite additional obstacles — including a month-long internet outage earlier this year — “I saw us lead the way for everyone else in the school. I am so proud of the people that everyone here has become and I will forever challenge the memories I have.”
Following Sims’ remarks, Senior Class President Maile Armstrong shared a list of favorite memories shared by her fellow seniors, including visits to Dick’s Drive-In after track meets, planting flowers outside of the school for a leadership project, the Technology Student Association conference in Texas and building sets for “Legally Blonde.”
Armstrong said she read the quotes for a reason: “They all involved two or more people.” The quotes “represented something bigger than spirit or sports,” she said. “They represent high school as a whole.”
“Outside of the school, in the real world, the sentiment of us vs. them has never been clearer — socially, politically, economically and even educationally,” she said. “The idea that we are against each other is present every day. And it’s torn us apart.”
The same dynamic exists in high school, Armstrong said. “We are constantly filled with the sentiment of us vs. them. We see it in the form of grading curves, schoolwide competitions and in social, grade and even educational cliques.”
While such competitions are OK in moderation, “We can’t forget that we are in this together,” Armstrong said.
The next speaker was Jazzma Pennerman, who was selected by MTHS staff. Pennerman explained that four years ago, she and her family moved to the U.S. from the Bahamas for a better life, and she offered her thanks to the school staff and friends who helped her through high school. “We started our journey, butterflies in our stomach, the first day walking into school as little fish,” Pennerman said. “Now, we end our journey as big fish. It has been a pleasure watching each of you grow and flourish with success.”
Pennerman was followed by Liliana Lopez-Santiago, selected by the Honor Society to speak. She shared that in her freshman year, she wrote a letter to herself, in which she “expressed my fears for the future and questioned whether I was doing enough in the present to feel wanted by others.”
While rereading the letter, she noted that “my overarching fear was whether everyone else was happy. I never once asked if the choices I were making were contributing to my own happiness.”
As she was planning for her future after high school, she said that she was tempted to stay at home to be near family and friends. Instead, she chose to attend college out of state.
“I learned in order to thrive, I had to stop doing what I imagined other people would want and focus on what’s best for me,” she said.
“To my class, you may have made every decision in the last 13 years of school based on the expectations and desires of other people around you. With all the people-pleasing you do, have you ever considered the choices you make are for you? Whether you are sitting on the field or up in the stands, I hope you will trust that the future is for you to decide,” Lopez-Santiago said.
The next two speakers were selected by the senior class.
“We were the class that never got a full high school experience, but that never stopped us from trying,” said the first speaker Ryan Daly, a familiar voice to his fellow students for delivering the daily school announcements. “This class, this community should all feel great about what you’ve already been able to accomplish. We went through a pandemic in one of the most important developmental times in our lives, and yet here we are, graduating.”
“My name is Ishah Musa,” the next speaker began. “I’m a Muslim, hijab-wearing, first-generation Afghan American.” Noting that her parents immigrated from Afghanistan and worked hard to ensure their children had a better life, Musa said: “So inspired by my parents, I stand here and tell. you to find your power and with that power, run. And with that power, make sure you fight to make changes. Because it’s not about what the power is, it’s about how you use it.”
The final two speakers — Yash Verma and Zoe Teran — were selected from among the school’s class valedictorians.
“One of your main goals as individuals should be to truly find yourself, whether that be career-oriented, emotional or in relationships,” Verma said. “You can do whatever you want to do. You can be whoever you want to be in life. Put the dedication and work in and it will pay off. The goal in life is not to live forever, but to create something that will.”
When it came her time to speak, Teran shared that she was a mediocre student in middle school, but promised herself to do better in high school. She developed strong study habits and saw the results, acing her finals during her freshman year. Whether it’s flossing your teeth, eating healthier or choosing friends who care about you, “It’s the choices you make to keep up your good habits and start new ones that make you better and happier,” she said. “Choose to love yourself. Choose to be happy and make other people happy. Choose to break the cycle. Because at the end of the day, you are the one who needs to choose.”

Linda Heuman interviews scientist and Buddhist Willoughby Britton:
As a scientist and as a Buddhist, what do you make of the AHRQ report? The report sounds pretty fair. This review—and pretty much every one before it—has found that meditation isn’t any better than any other kind of therapy.
The important thing to understand about the report is that they were looking for active control groups, and they found that only 47 out of over 18,000 studies had them, which is pretty telling: it suggests that there are fewer than 50 high-quality studies on meditation.
What are active control groups and why are studies based on them of higher quality? There are different levels of scientific research, different levels of rigor. I think this is a place where the public could use a lot of education. Because they don’t know how to interpret science, they assume much higher levels of evidence.
The first level is a “pre-post” study, which looks something like this: We go learn to meditate for eight weeks and at the end of it we feel better. We took a stress and anxiety scale before and after, and our stress or anxiety improved. So we say, “Meditation helped me!” That is actually not a valid conclusion. The conclusion you can make in science is that something helped. We didn’t control for the idea that just deciding to do something is going to help. Just that factor—intentionally deciding to make a commitment to your health and well-being—can make a big difference.
One problem is that just filling out the questionnaire changes you. In my recent sleep study, I had people fill out a questionnaire and keep a sleep diary. That is all they did for eight weeks. They didn’t meditate. And their sleep improved a lot. So, you have to control for the effect of taking the questionnaires.
You also have to control for the passage of time. Sometimes people just feel better after two months compared with when they started. So you can’t actually conclude that meditation had anything to do with it. A lot of the studies on meditation are pre-post studies like this. They shouldn’t count at all as evidence.
The next level of rigor is “wait-list controls.” Half the participants begin meditating immediately while the other half acts as a control group, and only later participate in the actual meditation. Those in the control group might be thinking, “I’m in the study. I’m going to learn to meditate!” They’re psyched. Their depression is already getting better because they’ve decided to do something about it. These are effects of expectation; they aren’t doing meditation.
But even at this level the study is not considered in any way conclusive. If I have an inspiring teacher, for example, it can be a helpful factor that is not meditation. Even to know that somebody felt depressed and anxious at one point and then got better is helpful. There’s the normalization of my symptoms. There’s the social support. I meet other people who have my problem. I thought I was the only person in the world who had anxiety, and now there are all these other people who have anxiety and we’re all talking about it. And I really get along with them. So I’m making friends. I’m less lonely. That’s not meditation either. There are all these things that are not meditation that could be helping me feel better.
If we really want to be able to say that meditation was the active ingredient, the control group has to do everything the other group is doing except meditation, and they can’t know that they are in the control group. This level of scientific study is called “active control groups.” But that largely isn’t what is happening in meditation research, although it’s starting to.

Photographer: Cherrys Picks “Fire Walk With Me”
This one’s all about atmosphere. I suppose literally, but also figuratively. The billowing clouds obscure more than they show, but what they reveal is full of rugged mystery. The hint of orange light suggests sunrise or sunset, but it could be either. The hint of blue sky suggests a change in the weather. I love a photo that is full of questions, and open to possibilities. Thanks for sharing with our group!

In November, members of the Niagara Regional Police Service Guns, Gangs, and Grows Unit began an investigation into an illegal marijuana grow operation on Marsdale Drive in St. Catharines.
As a result, on November 16th police say a search warrant was granted to enter and search the Marsdale Drive residence and at approximately 6:45 pm the warrant was executed and the accused was arrested.
Police located a large marijuana grow operation resulting in the seizure of 1237 plants in various stages of growth. Police also located and seized 3 1/2 pounds of dried processed marijuana. Total street value is approximately 1.25 million dollars.
Charged with Unlawful Production of a Controlled Substance and Possession of a Controlled Substance is 64-year-old Armand Delorme of St. Catharines. Delorme was subsequently released from custody and will return to court in December to answer to these charges.

As NH21 Weekly scours global news outlets for ‘current events’ in the world of health; it finds itself consistently alarmed by the inconsistencies that appear in the media, and wonders why the headlines rarely match up with the content.
Catching the eye this week, was a BBC Health piece entitled “Dairy-free diets warning over risk to bone health” in which a survey conducted by the National Osteoporosis Society apparently warns that hip-young ‘free-from’ eaters are avoiding dairy, and consequently “putting their health at risk by following eating fads.” (1)
According to the article (but not necessarily the survey) milk and dairy are important sources of calcium for strong bones, and that by avoiding them in our youth, we increase the risk of developing osteoporosis in later life.
This simplistic concept is typical of the dogma that surrounds ‘official’ guidelines on dietary health. To suggest that bovine derived calcium is the best way to ensure bone health in old age is grossly outdated and frankly absurd.
The skeletal system, as a collection of some 206 interconnected bones, forms the framework upon which our bodies attach their muscles. It is within the bones that blood, the substance that carries oxygen around the body and delivers nutrients to the cells, is produced.
Bones also act as a reservoir for minerals; those naturally occurring earth elements required for a multitude of biological functions, yet found lacking en masse in the convenience foods and confectionaries that form the bulk of the standard western diet.
The individual bone cell is called an osteocyte; however, being part of bone tissue it is rarely found in isolation. Osteocytes accumulate to form units of bone called osteons, that, working in unison, contain all the specialized elements needed by each section of bone; including a matrix of minerals and collagen fibres, a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves, and a network of microscopic passageways through which the osteocytes receive nutrients and remove their own metabolic waste.
When a male sperm fuses with a female egg, an individual zygote is formed. This one cell, containing a full set of chromosomes, begins to replicate itself, producing the numerous as-yet unspecialized mesenchyme cells of the early embryo. In-utero development sees mesenchyme accumulate and condense into specialized structures, including the jelly-like cartilage that will eventually mature into bone.
In a dynamic process that continues from conception, throughout childhood, and up until we are fully grown adults; a pair of special bone-constructing cells work symbiotically to both build, and breakdown, bone.
Osteoblasts are tasked with hardening the bones, packing on weight and strength from within-out. At the same moment osteoclasts work to breakdown and reabsorb older cells, ensuring that the inner bone remains gel-like and porous. In effect we see the bones eating themselves to ensure that whilst they remain as strong and possible, they do not become too heavy for us to carry around.
Additionally, this process maintains homeostasis of calcium levels in the blood. As a vital component of human health, calcium is needed for blood clotting, as well as nerve and muscle function; and it needs to flow freely around arteries and veins in order to act with and upon each cell.
As with all minerals, the composition of calcium in the blood is finely calibrated; we can have neither too much, nor too little, at any one time; excess leading to conditions such as hypercalcemia (causing muscle weakness and irregular heartbeat), whilst depleted reserves encourage the progression of disorders such as osteoporosis.
Thankfully we have naturally occurring chemical hormones to regulate this for us. When we have too much calcium in the blood, osteoblasts absorb the excess, packing it back into the bones; when we have too little, osteoclasts break down bone and release the stored calcium back into the bloodstream.
This regulation, under direction of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, is an example of the body’s numerous self-preservation mechanisms. Unfortunately, modern humans are somewhat prone to abusing this natural phenomenon; surpassing its capacity to cope with modern societal habits and lifestyle misdemeanors.
DIET and LIFESTYLE
One of the best ways to support our bones, ensuring that are better able to support us in older age, is to move the physical body. Bones become stronger in response to pressure being placed upon them; be that the pull of skeletal muscle, gravity, or the temperate impact of walking, running and jumping.
This positive stress leads to increased mineral deposition (NB: there are many more minerals than calcium alone) in the reservoir that can be transferred between the blood and bones as required throughout life. The stronger the bone, the more densely packed with life sustaining minerals, the more we are able to draw on its reserves; the caveat being that, like all a good pension plan, the sooner we start saving, the better it is for our long-term health.
Sedentary living, barely plausible a century past, seems to have become the norm in our modern world. Alarmingly, whilst current UK guidelines suggests that adults should engage in at least 150-minutes per week (roughly 20 minutes per day) of moderate aerobic activity; in 2008, the Health Survey for England found that only 6% of men and 4% of women were actually meeting this modest recommendation. (2)
Diet also plays a key role in the integrity of our bones. Acidic foods increase acidity in the blood, and the body responds by drawing minerals out of the bones to help re-alkalize the system. The more acidic we become, the more the body will draw from the bones mineral reserves.
Whilst this logic is easy enough to comprehend, the specifics around what does and doesn’t pertain to dietary acidity remains ambiguous.
Pasteurized dairy in the form of milk, cheese and yogurt, has long been accepted as “good for the teeth and bones”, yet it is increasingly becoming understood that an over reliance on animal derived calcium, coupled with the detrimental effects of modern intensive farming practice, is actually counter to this cause.
As Phyllis Balch explains in her seminal work on nutritional healing;
“People in the United States consume more dairy products per capita than any other two nations on earth put together, yet also have the world’s highest rates of osteoporosis and bone fractures among elderly people”. (3)
Additional influences in the development of osteoporosis are the quantity of meat, salt, sugar, alcohol and caffeine that people consume. Carbonated drinks are also problematic; and it goes without saying that a diet lacking in raw salad leaves and dark green leafy vegetables (both of which are excellent sources of dietary calcium) will exacerbate acidity.
ENTER STAGE THREE
What the BBC did not tell us in its subtle attack on ‘fad’ diets and the health advice given by anybody other than a medical doctor; but the National Osteoporosis Society in fact do, is that;
“If you don’t eat dairy products, you will need to include lots of other calcium-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, almonds, sesame seeds, dried fruit, pulses, fortified soya drinks and soya protein (tofu) in your diet.”
“A vegetarian diet is not a risk factor for osteoporosis and vegetarians and vegans do not appear to have poorer bone health than the rest of the population.” (4)
Dairy is delicious, and can be enjoyed as part of broad-based, seasonally variable diet.
But dairy is not an essential food group by any stretch of the imagination, and for too long we have been told that it is, by those who produce it in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and whose finances, rather than our health, are being put at risk as society realises it was being duped all along.
In the words of Arthur Schopenhauer;
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
Calcium is needed for strong teeth and bones, but so too are many other minerals and vitamins; all of which are found abundantly in plants. And it is these, not dairy, that people are lacking and need to be encouraged to eat more of.

WARRNAMBOOL and District Cricket Association endured contrasting results on the opening day of Horsham under 15 Country Week.
Warrnambool Gold opened its account with a convincing 48-run win against Horsham at Sunnyside yesterday.
But Warrnambool Blue suffered a first-up defeat, losing by four wickets to Wimmera-Mallee at Coughlin Park.
Gold coach Andrew Thomson said he was pleased with his players’ efforts on a wicket which made playing straight essential.
Gold reached 5-155 batting first, thanks to 57 from opener Charlie Locke and 56 from Liam Brown at number four.
The teens put on 65 for the third wicket, helping their side capitalise after a slow but steady start.
Horsham, in reply, was all out for 107 having slumped to 6-34 after 24 overs. Liam Brown, 2-16, and Brody Couch, 2-12, were the best bowlers.
“We’re happy with the result,” Thomson said.
‘‘The guys put value on their wicket and played very straight.
“The wickets we lost were attributed to playing across the line.
‘‘The wicket was slow and you had to play straight.
“Charlie Locke was exceptional, he probably batted 30 overs, he was the glue that held us together and we batted around him.” Gold shared the wickets around and created pressure with the ball, which sparked the match-defining collapse.
“Liam Brown was ace, he bowled quick — he’d be the quickest up here for the week, he’s a weapon for us,” Thomson said.
“He got those couple of crucial wickets.
‘‘From there the runs dried up and it was a matter of bowling line and length and staying to a plan.
“To get them all out when they’re just trying to survive was a great effort. In terms of the week, it sets us up.”
The win ensures Gold is in control of its own destiny, but Blue must rely for things to go its own way after its loss.
Blue made 143 batting first, recovering after slumping to 2-1 and 3-17. Jack Knight finished unbeaten on 40 and Will Scriven reached 20.
Wimmera-Mallee reached the target six wickets down before hitting out in the last five overs to finish on 8-179. Callum Dunn took 3-16.
“They (Wimmera-Mallee) played good cricket but we were under par,” Blue coach Brian Dennis said.
“We were 2-1 and 3-17.
‘‘To get to 143 wasn’t a bad effort.
‘‘We had our chances, we had them 2-1, exactly the same.
“But they got a couple of good partnerships — 60 for the fourth wicket killed us and there was another 60 for the fifth wicket.”
Warrnambool Gold will seek to keep its winning momentum against Wimmera-Mallee at Coughlin Park today.
Warrnambool Blue takes on South West, which had a bye yesterday, at Sunnyside.
Hamilton and Portland also have sides at the tournament, which continues until Friday.

About the Book
Featuring: Professor Steg (a time-travelling dinosaur), some green globby things, the Queen of the Pirates, the famed jewel that is the Eye of Splod, some wumpires, and a perfectly normal but very important carton of milk.
I have some pretty ridiculous books, thank you Slush Pile. This one takes the cake. Neil Gaiman, known for his award-winning novels and wild imaginative plots, and he doesn’t disappoint in this children’s book that is seemingly aimed at a younger audience than his other YA novels. Now enter Chris Riddell, author and illustrator of bestseller Muddle Earth – I LOVE CHRIS RIDDELL.
So let’s talk about the plot ...
Fortunately, the Milk ... is a story about a family with a mother is away for conference, leaving Dad in charge. So one morning when the milk runs out and who really does eat cereal with orange juice? So off Dad goes to get milk for the cereal and for tea, but what unleashes on his return is the most ridiculous plot line with aliens, pirates, a time-travelling stegosaurus in a hot-air balloon, vampires, a man-eating mountain-tribe and time-travelling scenes that would an episode of Dr Who jealous, but let’s not forget that fortunately, the milk survives.
With a moral lesson discarded to the side, Riddell and Gaiman produce a ridiculously-funny, fantastical story that will, no doubt have kids belly-laughing their way through.
About the Author
Neil Gaiman, author, scriptwriter and creator of graphic novels, is British and lives in the USA. His diverse catalogue of books includes the novel The Graveyard Book, winner of the Carnegie Medal 2010 and Booktrust Teenage Prize 2009, Stardust (now a major feature film), the bestselling novel for young readers Coraline (now a major 3D-animated film), and the picture book The Wolves in the Walls, which was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

Although some other manufacturers have this gun in their range, only three of them provides some kind of crew for it. From past to recent they are Revell, Zvezda and now the new Armourfast ones.
It was the standard divisional field howitzer used by the Wehrmacht during the Second World War. It was designed and developed by Rheinmetall in 1929-30 and entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1935.
LeFH 18 was developed in 3 different versions, the LeFH 18, LeFH 18M (1941), which incorporates a new muzzle brake and the recoil system adjusted to allow the use of a more powerful charge and new long-range shell and finally the 10.5 cm leFH 18/40, mounting the gun on the carriage for a 7.5 cm PaK 40, additionally, a more efficient muzzle (which also upgraded some of the 18M version).
Revell model was the first to appear, in 1995. Set is an excellent show case of the Revell’s better works in our scale. The two guns included in the set, depicts the early LeFH 18 gun, without muzzle, and with pressed steel wheels, although it comes with a full horse limber, a missed good opportunity to include the wooden wheels. Set also have a full crew for the firing gun and a lot of excellent extras, such munition, helmets and so. Instructions are clear enough and guns have a very good detail, taking care that they are made in soft plastic.
As other times an excellent full review can be found at Plastic Soldier Review site.
This Revell model is also usable for the Spanish civil War, as this early version was shipped to Spain as part of the Condor Legion.
The Zvezda’s set only comes with two crew men, which maybe is good for their gaming system, but not so good for other purposes. Figures have the usual good quality of the brand, but their are just two. Gun is depicted in the box as the 18M gun, the muzzle brake is clearly visible, but it looks more like the 40 version, although this muzzles also upgraded some 18M versions in the late war. Which definitively seems to be a 40 version is the carriage and wheels, which looks to be the Pak 40 ones and the modified wheels designed just for this gun, some taller than the Pak 40 ones, but smaller than the other LeFH 18 versions. Figures seems to be to classic German soldiers, more appropriated for the early war, but the gun is the last version, appropriated for the late war, so at this point Armourfast crew could be good for the Zvezda’s gun.
Plastic is quite rigid, instructions are easy and gun is mounted with just a few parts.
Our mate Cristian Florescu made an excellent review about this set in the Braille Scale Discussion Group.
The Armourfast version seems to be the real 18M ones, taking care of the muzzle shape. I’m not sure about the wheels, maybe this time they are wooden spoked ones ?. Crew figures are probably quite good, details are very good, and maybe the discussion could be around the poses itself. For my taste the quality of these figures are better than previous Armourfast figure set, they are hard plastic and looks pretty well. They need glue to fix the multi-part, this allow no plastic excess at any point and flash is non existent, have mould lines, but are easy to fix. These figures are all wearing anklets, a late war feature.
Instructions come in the box rear, they are clear enough to build the gun.
So 17 years after the Revell’s launch, their set continues to be the most complete ones. Not only by the excellent crew, it also comes full of munition and boxes and the complete limber. Although soft plastic is an odd. The new Armourfast ones is clearly oriented for wargaming environment, but we though it’s a great product for this purpose, 4 crew men per gun, robust, and shape detail in figures. Also we like the style of these figures, discussion about the poses apart. Zvezda ones is a product which don’t gets happy to much people, 2 crew is a joke and detail level of the gun also is nothing special, a wargaming product less useful than the Armourfast, even if sculpture in the figures is better. Both sets lacks of munitions, boxes and so, which is a pity.
With the three sets seems that we have the three LeFH 18 versions available for our armies.
Minor faults are present in all the sets, which have a quite simplified detail, the worst in the Armourfast could be the absence of a sight, and detail missing in the lower shield. The most ugly in the Zvezda’s ones is the gun itself, you may drill and drill to get this muzzle looking well. Also you may drill the Revell’s and Armourfast’s ones. Zvezda and Armourfast are the most robust, as correspond for wargaming models.
What we miss now is a decent winter crew for these guns, to combine with all the leFH 18 available in the market, such for example the ACE ones, with 18M and 40 versions. Note than the box illustration for the 18M comes without muzzle, which is incorrect. Also some resin manufactures have the LeFH 18 in their ranges.
A set in the way of the recently released Orion Russian Artillery Crew could be welcome for the German guns.
By the way , we also recommend to take a look to the excellent MMS material, such this.

I'm a mom to 5 children and pregnancy and breastfeeding have taken a toll on my body. I'm smaller framed at 5'4 124 pounds and am currently a 32DD. That size is deceiving because I don't seem that big. I guess once I scoop them up and place them in a bra, that's what I need. I'm going to be having a lollipop lift with silicone 300cc implants placed under the muscle and also a labiaplasty to correct one side of my labia minora that hangs lower than the other. I'm super nervous and excited and can't believe the day is approaching so soon! Dr. Jaime Perez is my doctor and he has been incredible up to this point. After our first consultation I knew he was the one!
Breast Lift with Implants and Labiaplasty in Tampa, FL
I'm a mom to 5 children and pregnancy and...
I'm one week away from surgery, but so far Dr. Perez has been excellent. He takes his time during consultations and really gets to know the person and listens to their desires.


Some Democrats have been critical of President Trump for not yet visiting the state of California since his inauguration, and one of them is running to unseat Republican Rep. Darrell Issa:
Trump’s War on California must be stopped, and the best way is to reject all CA GOP House members up for election. There’s a reason Trump is the first sitting president since Eisenhower not to visit CA in his first year — Californians can’t stand him.
— Mike Levin (@MikeLevinCA) January 8, 2018
Dems can rest easy because the president is reportedly finally going to The Golden State. However, the reason probably won’t make Dems any happier:

Documents that took more than two years to obtain show that Toronto police have used an IMSI catcher, also known as a Stingray, in investigations ranging from a major drug and gun case to a bank robbery.

We’ve seen in recent months McDonald’s (MCD) reporting early success with its high-end coffee play, while Wendy’s-owned Canadian coffee and donut joint Tim Hortons (THI) did a successful IPO to expand into the lower 48. At the same time, Coke (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) are battling for more shelf space for ready-to-drink coffee beverages. And the triple-headed monster of LBO firms that bought Dunkin’ Donuts, of course, says they plan to spread out all over.
Today, the latest salvo in the Caffeine Nation Chronicles: Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz says he plans to double his numbers in the US and eventually be running 40,000 stores worldwide. “We have never been more enthused and more aggressive,” he told analysts today on the heels of the company’s sweet surprise that same store sales rose 6% last month, about double what analysts expected.
Putting a flag in the sand for future reference, note that most of these stocks have had a pretty good run over the past year, especially Starbucks. Starbucks is up 6% today to just over $38. It’s up 44% over the past year. Tim Hortons is up 3% to almost $27 and about 12% since it went public in late March. McDonald’s is steady around $40 today and up 22% over the past year while Pepsi, sitting under $65, has gained only 13%, a tad better than the S&P 500 over the same period.
But with competition heating up, over the long-term the prospects can’t be as rosy. Maybe coffee futures are the place to go? Any ETF vendors interested?

Colorado Democratic lawmakers want the state to join the ranks of 12 other states that don’t impose a sales tax on menstrual products and 15 that don’t on diapers.
Lawmakers had brought the state sales tax exemption proposals in 2017 as two separate bills, but they both were unsuccessful. In 2022, some of those same backers plan to combine them. Sen. Faith Winter, a Westminster Democrat, sponsored the 2017 diaper legislation and Rep. Susan Lontine the menstrual product legislation (often referred to as the pink tax or tampon tax), and they plan to lead the charge with Democratic Rep. Leslie Herod of Denver and Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis of Boulder County.
Five of the states that exempt taxes on these products don’t have sales taxes at all — Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. As of April of this year, the states that exempt menstrual products specifically from state sales taxes include Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. As of July, the states that exempted diapers specifically from state sales taxation include California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Winter said both menstrual products and diapers are essential items that lawmakers should do everything they can to make available and affordable. Their bill would include various types of feminine hygiene products as well as diapers for babies and adults, and would only apply to the state’s 2.9% sales tax. It would not exempt the products from municipal taxes, but cities like Aurora and Denver have exempted feminine hygiene products from their local taxes.
People have shared stories with lawmakers about children going to daycare centers with grocery bags and toilet paper as makeshift diapers and infants left in diapers longer than is healthy because families couldn’t afford them. Similarly, groups across the country have been working to raise awareness about “period poverty,” which leads people to create makeshift items to replace pads or tampons or leave the products in too long, making themselves sick.
“This is actually one of the bills that’s been most requested by my constituents,” Winter said. “Especially young women across my district are seeing this as an equity piece and as a really important way to reduce stigma.”
Lontine said the menstrual products bill received opposition previously partly because of monetary concerns. While they don’t have new estimates for how much tax revenue these products bring in for the state, in 2017, it was about a $3.4 million loss for diapers and about $2.4 million for menstrual products.
“The (2022) fiscal year outlook is a lot different,” Lontine said. “At the time, we were literally counting pennies, and we have a lot more discretionary dollars than we’ve had them in a long time.”
The other issue lawmakers who opposed the bill cited in 2017 was that the sales tax didn’t exempt essential products that others use. Winter said she is open to discussing including other items in the bill.
National survey results published this year found that two in five people struggled to afford menstrual products at some point in their lives. Colorado lawmakers have chipped away at the cost of menstrual products in the past — this year, they passed a bill that would create a grant program to help schools supply their bathrooms with the products to students free of charge. In 2017, lawmakers approved providing women in Colorado prisons access to free tampons. And in 2019, they passed a bill requiring jails to provide the products for free to women in custody.
When it comes to diapers, a 2017 study showed that 36% of families struggled to afford them and the need grew greater during the pandemic. Colorado lawmakers passed a bill this year to create a diaper distribution program in the Department of Human Services.

In previous years, on February 1 we would be beating the winter blues by looking forward to a summer holiday. But this is no ordinary year.
People in the UK have been warned that holidays are illegal, for the time being, and hotel quarantine awaits British arrivals coming in from 33 countries, including Portugal, the UAE and South Africa.
Despite the summer holidays being six months away, in recent days, Government ministers have spoken words of caution when it comes to our chances of a trip overseas.
Liz Truss told LBC: “I think it would be very dangerous for a government minister to [make] promises about people’s summer holidays,” while Health Secretary Matt Hancock has also said that summer holidays abroad could be unlikely.
However, Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary spoke out today to say he expects a “strong recovery of beach holidays and family holidays going to Europe this summer”.
He said, once the vaccination reduces the number of coronavirus-related deaths: “We expect to see a very strong return of British families travelling to the beaches of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece in relative safety this summer thanks to the vaccine programme.”
So when will we be going overseas again? Of the sixteen industry experts we spoke to, half said they expect international travel to resume by May or June. Five said they were hopeful for an overseas break by the school summer holidays, while three predicted travel would resume later in the year.
The optimists: European holidays by May or June
“I’m confident that May will see us operating in Europe”
Noel Josephides, Chairman, Sunvil Group:
“I have a feeling, as this Government has always done too little, too late, that they have now gone the other way and are now being super-conservative as to when they will allow travel.
“I am confident that May will see us operating to Europe. That said, it is important for would-be holidaymakers to book soon – otherwise, flights may not be in place (it takes longer than a couple of months to set up flights) and, as we shall be in competition with the rest of Europe for the best properties in Greece and her islands, we may find that other nationalities – including the Greeks! – have got there first this summer.”
“It is not unreasonable to believe we could be travelling by late spring”
Fiona Charrington, CEO, Martin Randall Travel:
“With covid rates reducing and vaccinations increasing, it is not unreasonable to believe we could be travelling again by late Spring/early Summer. If there is the will in government to make it happen in a responsible way, then we are ready. It is highly likely our tours and events within the UK will be the first to resume, along with many to Europe, especially to Italy.
“There are many variables, and at this point in time we are all watching the figures and having to wait. However, what is certain is the enormous desire to travel among our customers, matched by our determination to make that happen.”
“We expect UK market to return from May onwards”
Pedro Homar, director of the Palma Tourism Board:
“With the rate in which the UK is rolling out the vaccination, we are confident that the UK market will be one of the first to return to Palma. In terms of timings, we expect the UK market to return from around May onwards. This is obviously subject to the evolution of the pandemic both in the UK and in the Balearic Islands but we feel this is a realistic target.
“Whilst safety is the number one priority, we are eager to welcome back British visitors and we feel confident that by May, processes will be in place to enable us to do that. Palma has exceptional tourism infrastructure and the public and private sector are working hard to ensure tourism can return in a safe way. It is too soon to say whether Easter holidays to Palma can resume but we certainly feel confident from May onwards.”
“There’s the possibility for holidays in Europe this summer, hopefully by May half term”
Erin Johnson, marketing director for Sovereign Luxury Travel:
“Until now, travel has been the last thing to go from people’s priority lists when times have been tough. Having that freedom taken away this last year, has made us all realise the importance of travel. As a tour operator, we have the ability to give people something to look forward to, but importantly, with the reassurances they can book with confidence and know that we will look after them when it is safe to travel again.
“We have already seen customers booking upgraded accommodation – larger suites with private pools or exclusive-use villas. We have always offered private transfers as standard for all of our customers, as well as lounge access at the airport, but I think this will be something customers come to expect when they travel. I think it will take time, but if testing on arrival is in place and quarantining not needed then there’s definitely the possibility for holidays in Europe this summer, and hopefully in time for May half-term. Long-haul holidays will be later in the year but if the vaccination program is rolled out successfully around the world, I would hope we can travel more freely again by the autumn.”
“UK holidays by April, European holidays by May”
Gemma Antrobus, Chair of AITO Specialist Travel Agents and owner of Haslemere Travel:
“If we are talking holidays whilst still having to wear masks, maybe take tests and or quarantine, then my prediction and hope is this:
“UK – as soon as the Government gives clearer guidelines on the Tier system – if this is how we will come out of this; it could be as early as April.
“Europe – Europe will follow shortly after (May). We saw last year that as soon as travellers can travel, ie there is a flight to take them and a destination to accept them, then they will go.
“Long haul – September/October onwards. Long haul will naturally follow shortly behind, but not all at once. Asia is likely to bounce back quickly, as despite being some of the first nations affected, they have responded well, kept levels low and life has returned to relative normality for many. Small islands also, such as the Caribbean and Maldives, who have all managed exceptionally well with incoming visitors, since they opened last year. They already have tried and tested protocols and systems in place.
“With the UK standing head and shoulders above many nations on the vaccination front, our travellers will no doubt be welcomed to other countries in advance of those nations not vaccinating at such speed.”
“A drop in infection levels by summer, together with vaccination, will allow widespread travel to Europe”
Chris Rowles, AITO Chairman:
“This Summer: it looks really realistic that the majority of people over 40–50 will be vaccinated in the UK by Easter, so with the three weeks for vaccination to take effect then by early Summer (May), many, many people will feel confident to travel. We are also reliant on the actions of other countries, although slower-starting European countries would have vaccinated their vulnerable citizens by early summer. Additionally, we saw last year that infection levels naturally drop during the Summer; this, together with vaccination, will allow widespread travel to Europe.
“Mid and long-haul destinations are likely to lag behind, but as soon as vaccination levels are higher, developed countries are likely to give massive support to developing countries, thus speeding up vaccination rollout world wide.
“We are likely to see affordable, simple testing at airports on departure, and some wearing of masks through this year – but this is a small inconvenience to being able to travel freely again.”
“Villa holidays will start again from June”
Vintage Travel’s Stephen Ellison:
“We are feeling confident that villa holidays will start again from June this year. Once the vaccination of vulnerable groups has finished, we will see the R rate drop quite quickly and confidence will increase. At that point, we will no longer be the pariah of Europe, in terms of Covid risk, and our Mediterranean partners will be keen to welcome us back. We don’t see very much happening before June and it will probably be July and August before travel reaches any kind of mainstream numbers again. We are confident that the vaccine will do its job and that it really is what we’ve all been waiting for.
“However, we can see that it may well be the case that pre-departure testing and face masks will become the norm, way beyond the pandemic – a bit like wearing a seat belt or smoking bans on public transport – as a public health measure that is adopted by us all. If that is the case, we would expect testing to become much cheaper and maybe even subsidised by airlines – or, ideally, by government!
“We are definitely seeing more people booking a villa holiday for the first time, particularly to France and Spain, where the option of travelling by car and Eurotunnel means you can basically travel all the way in your own bubble – and stay in that bubble when you arrive.”
“We hope to see departures to key destinations from June onwards”
Andrea Godfrey, product manager for Regent Holidays:
“It is very early days but as the vaccine rollout has begun around the world, we are seeing signs of some countries such as Romania lifting quarantine restrictions and using compulsory testing for travellers who can prove that they have received the vaccine. As vaccine passports become as mandatory as our existing passports, we hope we might see some departures to key destinations from June onwards.
“We are seeing a lot of enquiries from clients wanting to travel to Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Lapland for winter 2021–22 with the Northern Lights firmly in mind, and of course in lots of amazing experiences in Sweden and Finland such as snowmobiling, ice fishing, and husky safaris. This would tie in our predictions of an increase in experience-driven travel. We have all been in our homes for far too long so it’s no surprise that people want to get out in these pristine landscapes and enjoy lots of various activities.”
Overseas travel by the school holidays
“The vaccine gives some hope for summer holidays abroad”
Paul Melhus, CEO and Founder of ToursByLocals:
“While we can say with certainty that international travel will come back, exactly when borders will re-open remains highly uncertain. At ToursByLocals we are starting to see more people researching and dreaming, with bookings slowly starting to grow. Our recent UK sales data shows a small number of international tour bookings beginning in July 2021. The vast majority of the UK’s adult population will likely have been vaccinated by this point, which gives some hope for summer holidays abroad. With vaccinations and testing in place, we’re anticipating a potential surge in private tour bookings for August through to November 2021, pushing the traditional high season later in the year.
“After extensive lockdowns, we’re also expecting to see more “bucket-list” and “if not now, when” type of travel happening. So far we have seen 2021 bookings for British travellers heading to places as far afield as Iguassu Falls, Petra, the Falkland Islands, Ecuador, Kenya and South Africa. Connecting with and supporting the local economies in these destinations will be increasingly important, considering tourism workers will have essentially been out of work for a year come this spring. Hiring a local guide for a private tour helps achieve this, while also giving travellers the freedom to explore away from the crowds and stay within their own bubble. Finally, with all the uncertainty at play we strongly recommend booking with companies that offer fair and flexible cancellation policies. If there’s one thing this virus has shown us, it’s that anything can happen.”
“Some travel will resume by the summer school holidays”
Liddy Pleasants, MD of Stubborn Mule Travel:
“We think that there is in fact a reasonable chance that some travel will resume by the summer school holidays. Whilst of course the situation is changing frequently and dramatically, it does seem as if a sizeable number of people in the UK will have been vaccinated by the summer. This will likely pave the way for travel of some description. The difficulty is predicting where will be possible to visit and our general view is that Europe and North America are the most likely destinations but this is just a best guess. We just have no idea what variants may or may not have developed by the summer and how this will impact the situation.
“Our advice is that for those who like certainty, either book at holiday in the UK as this is very likely to be possible or wait for now and book something closer to the time. For those less bothered by certainty, book anything you like – take a chance – and make sure that it’s completely refundable in case you can’t go. It may end up having been a pipe dream but some people need a dream at the moment, and the thought of an exotic summer holiday may be just what is needed to see you through the long winter.
“In terms of what travel may look like, masks are likely to be mandatory in many places, and on planes, for the foreseeable future. In most countries, hotels are miles ahead of governments and have already implemented strict Covid protocols with enhanced cleaning and safety measures. These are likely to continue for some time. Outdoor activities are likely to be able to continue as normal, but indoor visits (art galleries, museums etc) will probably need to be pre-booked so will require some planning.”
“By August, we will be travelling to Europe”
John Grant, OAG:
“I’m planning to fill the car up with a full tank of fuel and heading off to some place in the UK around the middle of May since I’m cautiously optimistic that we will all be released from lockdown by that time. We will obviously still have all the social distancing measures and protocols in place so both effective planning of where to go and what to do when away will be important, but we all have time on our hands at the moment.
“By August armed with my new health passport I think we can plan to join the rest of the UK in Europe as our hard earned cash will be very welcome in every Mediterranean resort eager to grab back nearly eighteen months of lost cash. The brave will be travelling further afield to the United States by that point as well, looking for the lonely mouse in all probability.
“And finally I’m planning to kick the bucket list of travel “must do’s” from around the second quarter of 2022 when Governments have finally realised that only by working together will they be ever be able to see travel, tourism and commerce recover to pre Covid-19 levels.”
“We remain optimistic people will be able to get away over the summer”
A spokesperson for Kuoni:
“Our team are busy with enquiries for 2022, there definitely seems to be more confidence that travel will get back to something more normal from early next year without as many restrictions. So people are coming to us to help plan all sorts of epic trips and with longer to save, they’re upgrading the experience too.
“Not surprisingly given the headlines and awful news, confidence in travel this year is shaky, but we remain optimistic that people will be able to get away this year over the summer and in the latter part of the year and we’re likely to see people prepared to travel at really short notice and jump through whatever hoops they need to in order to travel safely. But demand is there, confidence will follow once we have more certainty over the easing of lockdown.”
“International travel will resume in the third quarter of 2021”
Clive Wratten, CEO of the Business Travel Association:
“Covid-19 vaccination programmes in the UK and destination markets will be central to the easing of travel restrictions. We don’t believe that vaccine coverage will reach any form of critical mass until the middle of this year, and so international travel from the UK will only start to resume in the third quarter of 2021.
“We believe that leisure travel will be the first part of our sector to see signs of recovery with clear signs of pent-up demand already visible. For borders to remain open and large-scale travel to return, it is essential that international entry standards are adopted across the world.
“Business travel recovery will now only begin to resume at any scale in the final quarter of the year. It’s why we’re calling on the Government to deliver a targeted financial package beyond the April furlough deadline. People need jobs to be able to afford holidays and our industry is also a vital enabler of UK plc.”
International travel from autumn onwards
“Realistically, I’d say we’re looking at autumn for long haul”
Danny Callaghan, CEO of the Latin American Travel Association:
“When can people travel long haul? I’d say that there are two element to this question: when will the travel industry be able to safely take people on holiday and return them safely to the UK; and when will we be allowed to do that.
“To answer the first question, our work with Latin American tourism boards and our in-country members shows that the governments and tourism authorities have really understood the challenges of carrying out tourism in a Covid world. They have well-thought through procedures and protocols in place, and have the ability to receive and manage tourists. Tourism to Latin America is ready to restart.
“However, the challenge comes from the second question. There are some countries in Latin America, but not all, that will not currently allow UK residents in, due to the UK variant of Covid, and it’s not clear how long those restrictions will remain in place. It is also unclear what the UK Government will do, and when, to facilitate tourism, not only to Latin America but to the whole world. There is a disconnect between the actual risks posed by tourism, and what a Government has to do politically to show that they have the Covid situation under control.
“There is no question that the UK is currently in the midst of a public health crisis and, quite rightly, the current lockdown is a necessary evil, but once the current wave is under control, with testing pre-departure at both ends of the journey, the progress with vaccinations, and the availability of travel insurance that covers Covid-related eventualities there is no practical reason why tourism shouldn’t restart to countries that are happy to welcome us.
“Realistically, I’d say we’re looking at our autumn, but I also think that there is enough desire to travel that we could see shorter than normal lead times on trips if regulations do allow travel sooner.
“In the best-case scenario, we will travel by September time”
Candice Buchan, product manager for Africa specialists Rainbow Tours:
“It is getting harder and harder to actually predict now, but we are trying to remain optimistic. We would hope that with the mass vaccine roll out, that best case scenario, we see the majority of the UK vaccinated and able to travel by September time, with certificates of vaccination allowing entry to a wide spread of destinations. Realistically though, we are now probably looking closer to the end of the year, as no doubt there will be more to work out as things develop. All in all, the vaccine roll out is our best hope of a ‘normal’ and as long as this goes more or less to plan, we should have some form of normal by summer – we hope!”
“Intercontinental travel will resume around Christmas 2021”
Michael Ros, CEO at Bidroom:
“Although originally I thought coming back to normal would take at least two years, I am now getting more and more positive about a quicker return of travel. With so many flights being cancelled and hotels being closed, the speed of recovery is now mostly in the hands of the authorities. However, we’ve noticed that as short-term rentals and holiday houses are available, people are more confident to book them, especially within their own countries.
“Personally, I think staycations in the UK could come back around spring at a pretty good level. At Bidroom, we’ve seen searches have increased by over 40% compared to last December and we anticipate the booking figures to start increasing at the same rate soon. Holidays in Europe might not come back quickly as flying is one of the biggest safety concerns for people right now. A vaccine passport might be a good option but I don’t expect to see it bringing any effects before the summer. I believe that intercontinental travel will resume around Christmas 2021.”

I first encountered Ian McEwan when I saw the 2007 film adaptation of his book Atonement starring Keira Knightley, Saoirse Ronan and the talented James McAvoy who gave a poignantly gripping performance. (Sadly, I lost respect for him after his subsequent movie, Wanted).
I was captivated by the story and mood of Atonement, and I promised myself that I would read McEwan's books. So when I chanced upon the beautiful and haunting cover of The Innocent at the bookstore, I figured why not start with this one?
Young British post office worker Leonard Marnham is assigned by his government to work in post-war Berlin, at a time when spies are everywhere and you never know whom to trust. For the first time in his life, he lives apart from his parents. He falls in love, loses his virginity, becomes competent at his job, gets engaged to his dream girl, and then commits a horrible crime. He desperately tries to cover his tracks, events spin out of his control and our hearts break at the loss of his innocence.
Leonard reminds us of what it's like to be 25 years old, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. We were young, foolish and invincible. The world was our oyster and anything was possible. We were filled with enthusiastic naiveté, and "the future" meant "next week".
I started reading this book on the flight to Singapore about a month ago. I could have finished it easily in a few hours, but I deliberately put it down at times, especially at the cliffhangers. McEwan does suspense deliciously, and I found myself wanting to prolong each thrill.
He has a singular talent for making us nostalgic for the Cold War.
In the book's Postcript, our hero returns to West Berlin. The last time he was there was in 1955 when the Berlin Wall, symbol of the Cold War, hadn't been erected yet. And now, 35 years later, the Wall is about to fall. Leonard asks the hotel clerk directions to a viewing platform. He is told to go soon.
"A little while ago the students were demonstrating in East Berlin. Do you know what they were shouting? The name of the Soviet leader. And the police hit them and chased them with water cannon.
"Who would have thought that the name of the Soviet General Secretary would be a provocation in East Berlin?
"A couple of weeks ago he came to Berlin. You probably read about that too. Before he came everyone was saying, He'll tell them to take down the Wall. Well, I knew he wouldn't, and he didn't. But next time, or the time after, five years, ten years. It's all changing."
How awesome it is to have lived through those times! How wonderful it is to be excited by an author again! I'll be on the lookout for Ian McEwan's Amsterdam next.

I have a 1986 Williamson furnace. Just recently I noticed after kicking back on I would hear the valve clicking repeatedly.The blower comes on but no heat. Sometimes turning off and back on again,it would fire back up, but now it won’t. Pulled the cover off and could see the pilot come on and then go out, this happens repeatedly.One time the burners ignited but then went out. Don’t know if this is a sensor problem or a problem with the board. It’s an LP gas furnace and the tank is full and has good pressure. Any info would be appreciated.
The sensor is the first to be suspect. Minor coatings from washing machine chemicals in the air prevent full sensing of the flame. The rapid clicking of the gas valve is often evidence of marginal sensing. Replace the sensor, then check the operation.
There are other problems like induced draft switches than interfere with ignition also. You will need to isolate the problem step-by-step. This is often tricky for an experienced repairman.
Thanks Harold, I had the repairman out here last week but it didn’t fail til after he left. It had been intermittant, but now it won’t fire at all. Trying to get him back out again. Any ideas where I can track down parts for this furnace, he had trouble getting burners for it a couple years ago.

The Shipowners´ Club board in last year´s meeting took the decision that no general Increase would be applied across the membership for policy year 2023. With the exception of a 10% increase in the Yacht sector, and increases for some members operating Dry Cargo vessels, the decision meant the Club was one of the only Clubs in the International Group Clubs not to apply a general increase, as the club says in an article published earlier this month.
The Shipowners’ mutual insurance association board noted that the club was in a market leading underwriting position, but potentially faced some headwinds by virtue of inflation running at higher than historic levels.
“The big unknown is inflation and given that it has been a relatively benign year for claims, especially to the International Group Pool, we haven’t seen the impact of inflation. This may change, but the key thing is that we only ever ask Members for what we need” explained the Club’s Director – Underwriting, Ian Edwards.
“We don’t like surprises and neither do our Members and their brokers”. Sticking to that promise and mindful of increases in premium requested through General Increases in recent years, the Board resolved that no General Increase would be applied across the Membership for policy year 2023.
The Club expects inflation to continue to be influential in terms of overall claims costs and it also expects to face modest increases in reinsurance costs for next year.
Whilst steady growth remains a key strategic goal, the Club, as it is mentioned in the article, is committed to doing so without compromising on their underwriting discipline.
“We want to grow steadily like everyone else” explains Edwards “but we don’t seek to write new business for anything other than what we believe is the right premium, as after all we are all sharing risks together.”
With over 34,000 vessels underwritten and the highest membership of any IG Club at over 8,000 Members, as the club claims, the Shipowners´ Club members have the benefit of a much larger spread of risk.
However, as the Club’s Director – Underwriting, Ian Edwards, recognises the Club cannot afford to rely on their reputation, as the go-to Club for smaller and specialist vessels. “Renewal is never easy, it’s an open opportunity for people to shop around. Particularly with our smaller clientele there has historically been a lot of options for them. We’re the only Club that doesn’t apply release calls so they’re free to shop around,” as he says. Yet consistently the Club has reported retention numbers in excess of 95%.

Looks like a report showing that facebook’s CTR is around .04% and they and they might get bought by mircosoft is sparking a lot of speculation again.
From all the posts on facebooks CTR problem it looks like people are coming to the same conclusion I came to 8 months ago. That being that given Facebooks extremely LOW ctr they have no way of making huge amounts of money. Facebook can never monitize like google can because the Unique user to pageview ratio is far to high.
I’ve advertised on facebook a few times as a test, and again last week when their inventory got triggered by adsense ads. It is by far the worst site of all time to advertise. I got over 2000 clicks and 1!!! signup. The biggest problem with facebook is that nearly everyone clicking on ads is doing so accidently or using the service much in the way people use DIGG, ie to waste time/browse.
with a CTR of 0.04% facebook gets 0.4 clicks per 1000 ad impressions, or .4 clicks per CPM.
5 cent/CPM = 12.5 cents a click
50 cent/CPM = $1.25 a click
$1.00/CPM = $2.50 a click
$15.00/CPM = $37.50 a click
Brad Feld suggests that apps on facebook can get 50 cents/CPM to $15.00 a CPM. Looking at the above math that is clearly impossible. Note that the average price on search engines per click is only ~50 cents
Facebook really only has 2 options. Move the ads into better positions which will raise revenues by at least doubling CTR. 2 Find advertisers like myspace did that are willing to pay high CPM’s. But there are a very limited number of advertisers willing to pay insane prices.
