text: Digital Facebook Updates Dynamic Ads, Extends Them to Instagram Facebook announced several updates to its dynamic ads (formerly dynamic product ads), including the expansion of the ad unit to Instagram, as well as updates to custom audiences for websites.By David Cohen|May 10, 2016 Share By David Cohen|May 10, 2016 Share Facebook announced several updates to its dynamic ads (formerly dynamic product ads), including the expansion of the ad unit to Instagram, as well as updates to custom audiences for websites.The social network announced Tuesday that dynamic ads are now available on Instagram, and that travel brands can now take advantage of dimensions, location and time specifically tailored for their industry.Facebook added that brands using custom audiences for websites can now better target users who demonstrated "stronger intent," such as by visiting sites repeatedly or spending long periods of time on those sites.The social network offered more details on the expansion of dynamic ads to Instagram in a Facebook for Business post: Dynamic ads automate product advertising by showing people ads featuring items they've expressed interest in—either by viewing it or adding it to their cart—or items related to ones they've shown interest in or purchased. And now businesses using dynamic ads can easily connect with more potential customers on mobile. To date, more than 2.5 billion unique products have been uploaded to Facebook. Now, by extending dynamic ads to Instagram, advertisers can promote relevant products to shoppers who have browsed their website or mobile app across two platforms where people spend much of their time—Facebook and Instagram. While many advertisers already use Instagram to promote their products, manually tailoring ad creative and targeting for every product in their catalog is time-consuming. Now, with dynamic ads, advertisers can showcase every one of their products automatically with dynamic creative and targeting, so they can show the right product to the right person every time. The new feature was also described in an Instagram for Business blog post: While many advertisers already use Instagram to promote their products, customizing creative with the right targeting for each and every product takes time—but it is important for driving performance. Dynamic ads on Instagram let you promote the right products to the right person at the right time. When someone visits your website or mobile app, and then later looks at Instagram, they'll be served an ad featuring multiple, related products from ones they were browsing on your site or app. Because of this, dynamic ads are highly relevant for our community—allowing users to explore and engage with the products they care about. And since dynamic ads are always active, they'll continually reach customers with the right product on Instagram. People come to Instagram to discover things they're passionate about, and that includes content from businesses. In fact, 60 percent of users learn about products and services on Instagram, and 75 percent say they take action after being inspired by a post. With its bold, mobile format, Instagram is an ideal channel to drive discovery and help shoppers experience your products. Using the carousel ad format, dynamic ads showcase multiple products so consumers can easily browse products in-application. You can create dynamic ads on Instagram the same way you do with dynamic ads on Facebook. To start, upload your entire product catalog into Business Manager. From there, you can buy, manage and report on dynamic ads through Power Editor. You can also work with an Instagram Partner Program company or Facebook Marketing Partner to get started. Once dynamic ads are set up, products will automatically populate based on a person's action on your website or mobile app. That means there's no need to configure thousands of individual ads for each product. You can also control the products you want advertised to make sure the ads pull in products that are in stock with their latest pricing. For additional reach, you can even extend your dynamic ads to Facebook and Facebook Audience Network. Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 Share http://adweek.it/1rRaxiZ copy Adweek Adweek

asthma - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing
For some people asthma isn't that bad, it's inconvenient, but if they leave their inhaler at home it doesn't matter all that much. But it if Sarah left her inhaler at home someone would wind up calling her an ambulance. Once she realised she had left it behind she began to panic, then the wheezing would start and she felt like she was trying to breathe through a plastic bag. Since the last trip to the emergency room her mother had attached a spare inhaler to a string and knotted it firmly to the belt loops of her whatever jeans she planned to wear the next day.
I'm surrounded by air but none of it is doing me any good. It's like someone put a bag over my head. As I fight to get the air in my body works against me, closing off the airways I need. I feel like there's a ten pound weight on my chest and it's all my intercostal muscles can do to strain against it. But how long can they keep it up for? How long can I keep it up for? I stumble to the porch for my jacket and scramble for the inhaler. Just closing my hand around it's cool plastic is hard, my primitive brain is in full panic mode, my higher brain knows that the drug will help. I take a puff and hold it in, then another. As I slide down the wall to my back-side I reach for my phone and press speed dial. Even if I can't talk much I know Mom will be here in 10 minutes. I don't know how she does it but she always does.
It feels as if my lungs aren't there as I try to bring air in. I can feel my muscles straining and the thoughts in my head turn from fear to a dizzy confusion. I reach for my inhaler and find it there, in the pocket I always keep it in, always ready to open me up, to allow the air to flood in, letting my medicine attack the asthma.

I was told to keep a journal, everything he said and did, how it affected me or any of the kids, any screenshots relevant; in case we ended up in a big court custody battle. Only two people have a link to that journal and everything it contains. But I have shared several of my experiences just so you can see exactly what my life has been like for……going on 7 months now. I will add stories as I remember them and include the date they actually happened. (so if it seems random, it's not)
Everything from here forward is simply the daily life, thoughts, ventings that I continue to have. No one is named and no locations disclosed. It just amazes me that this shit just keeps going. Part of it is my fault. Part of it is his fault (in fact I'll give him the bigger portion)
I'm not a stupid person, I'm barely even a gullible person. But I DO see the good in people (even when it's not even there?) I think everyone deserves love, but I am having to let go of the illusion that loving someone simply isn't enough. I am a "saver""rescuer" by nature. But I can not save or rescue everyone 😞

Chuckie Cheese is Barking Up a Tree
You can't blame the guy; he finally makes it to the upper ranks of the Dems' leadership, and now he's watching it all crumble at his feet.
Charles Schumer: 'Impossible' for Democrats to lose Senate in 2012
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), his party's former campaign chairman, acknowledged that Democrats have a tough political map as they seek to defend dozens of seats in the Senate, in which Democrats hold a 53-seat majority. Republicans, with far fewer seats to hold, are targeting the chamber for a flip.
"When you look at it from 30,000 feet, it looks bad," Schumer said during a breakfast meeting at Third Way, the moderate Democratic think tank. "You look at it race by race, it looks good."
Schumer predicted Democrats could pick up Republican-held seats in Massachusetts, Indiana, Arizona or Nevada.
"If we pick up a seat or two, it's almost impossible to say we lose the Senate — unless just the roof falls in," Schumer said. "I think we're likely to pick up a seat or two — Republican seats."
Well, Chuckles, I look at the raw numbers, and see a nightmare in your caucus's 2012 future. The Democrats will be defending 23 seats in November, 2012; the Repubs only 10. Of the four seats you think you can pick up, from where I sit I think only two, Indiana and Nevada, are really in play, but let's look at the first state on your wish list.
Many members of the chattering classes and the Nutroots are enthralled with "Class Warrior" Elizabeth Warren, and point to her recent fundraising haul, and her polling against the GOP incumbent, Scott Brown, as a sign that Brown can be taken down. Warren, despite her ridiculous, populist YouTube video cri de coeur, still has to make the case that a newcomer to electoral politics, such as she, is a better choice than the junior Senator of Massachusetts. To do that, she's going to need to paint him as some kind of right wing, fire breathing wingnut… which he most certainly is not.
Her Harvard pedigree will not protect her from Brown's campaign that, unless they are complete idiots, will paint her as the exact kind of pointy-headed Ivory Tower denizen Obama filled his administration with, that produced what What Henry Bloget calls "The Chart That Will Get Obama Fired"
Chuckie's strategy for the Dems to hang onto the Senate and White House was outlined in a memo Politico got its hands on and released this morning (.pdf here). The gist of the memo is "Blame everything on those evil Tea Party people!"
As Hot Air's Tina Korbe notes:
The memo employs its own strategy, referring repeatedly to "Tea Party economics" and to "Tea Party Republicans." It also drives home that the debt ceiling debate did more to damage the Tea Party brand than it did to damage the brand of establishment Republicans or Democrats. That's disappointing, given that many Tea Partiers originally demanded Cut, Cap and Balance in return for a debt ceiling increase and the final deal that emerged was a far cry from that. In other words, in the midst of that debate, Tea Partiers in Congress compromised every bit as much or more as any other contingent in Congress.
But Democrats will only be successful at demonizing the Tea Party if Tea Partiers cease to make the case that has always been at the core of the Tea Party movement. It boils down to this: The $14,695,102,108,238 debt is an enormous drag on the economy and it costs jobs. When debt reaches 90 percent of GDP (ours is higher than that!), the economy loses about 1 percent of growth each year. That translates to 1 million jobs annually.
Shumer has already put his words into action… in a particularly hilarious way:
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer expressed confidence Wednesday that Democrats would still be able to frame Mitt Romney as a "tea party candidate," despite the former Massachusetts governor's rifts with large portions of that constituency.
Speaking at a "Third Way" breakfast this morning, Schumer said Romney is carrying the "standard tea party line" when it comes to the economy.
Look, Charlie, personally, I like you; one day, years ago, you spoke at some Manhattan thing I attended. After your speech you were doing the grip and grin and asked me where I was from. I said "Dongan Hills" and you said, "Hey, a Staten Island guy!" You (and your bullhorn) always make it to the Staten Island Paddy's Day parade… that stuff counts with me, and makes me cut you serious slack when you do your goofy, "If it's Sunday I need to hold a press conference" attention whoring nonsense.
But trying to paint Mittens with a Tea Party brush is so crazy, crazy people will think you're nuts.

The Chicago Food Film Fest Is Mouthwatering and Weird
Here's a 5-course preview of the action.
"Dinner and a show" is about to take on a whole new meaning. Chicago's fourth annual Food Film Festival kicks off at Kendall College this Wednesday, and the lineup is equal parts wacky and mouthwatering.
Founded in 2007 by filmmaker and burger enthusiast George Motz (of Burger Land fame), the Film Food Festival is simple: audience members view short films about food and cooking while sampling the food featured on-screen. "We try to create a meal in your seat," says Motz. "The first few films will be appetizer-type films, and then it'll be main course, protein-type films, and we'll end the screening block with sweets and desserts."
This year's festival is divided into five loosely thematic events, including a "food porn" party, a sugar-based cook-off, and the Chicago debut of Keizo Shimamoto's ramen burgers. To get an idea of what's in store, Mr. Motz gave his rundown of the most drool-worthy events.
Introducing the Ramen Burger
The thing is exactly what it sounds like: a hamburger patty sandwiched between two ramen-noodle buns. "[Michael Fox] made a film about the rise of the Ramen Burger," says Motz. "On opening night, we're showing the short film and serving the Ramen Burger for the first time in Chicago. Keizo Shimamoto, the guy who invented the burger, is going to be with us, serving burgers."
Wednesday, Nov. 20, 6:30 p.m.
The Frogmore Stew Premiere
"A film that I made about shrimping in the Lowcountry is having its Chicago premiere Saturday night," says Motz. Despite the moment of self-promotion, Motz is quick to turn the spotlight on the film's subjects: "We're bringing in some of the shrimpers and the actual shrimp you see in the film, and having Lowcountry shrimp in the form of a huge Frogmore Stew served to 250 people."
Saturday, Nov. 23, 7:30 p.m.
Win a Prize Cutting Board
Motz is far from the only culinary celeb visiting this year's festival. Take Ed Wohl. "He's a woodworker from Wisconsin who's become quite famous for his cutting boards—a few of his designs are in museums," Motz says. "Just for fun, we're auctioning off a signed Ed Wohl cutting board with him on stage." Proceeds benefit the Good Food Project.
Thursday, Nov. 21, 6:30 p.m.
Witness Food Burlesque
As if an entire evening dedicated to food porn—a la foodgawker.com—isn't risqué enough, Motz and company promise to wrap up Friday's debauchery with a full-on food burlesque. "On food porn night, after you finish watching food porn films, you move into another room and there's a food burlesque show." Pressed as to what that might entail, Motz kept things vague: "If you want to know what food burlesque is, you have to get yourself a ticket and come on down."
Friday, Nov. 22, 6:30 p.m.
The 100-Pound Sugar Takedown
This daytime event for the culinarily competitive features 20 chefs and 100 pounds of pure turbinado sugar. "We've invited our friend Matt Timms back," says Motz. "[He] organizes amateur home chefs to make one food item, and they compete in what he calls a 'takedown.' This year, the ingredient is sugar." Be sure to bring your sweet tooth, as the audience helps determine who wins Timms' takedown.
Saturday, Nov. 23, 12 p.m.
The Chicago Food Film Festival runs Wednesday, November 20 to Saturday, November 23 at Kendall College (900 N. North Branch St.). Tickets are available online for $55-$75 per day.

Many are happy to use them together since Spinnaker has a native Jenkins API to delegate compilation and packaging, but once Jenkins 2.0 was released with an added focus on CD, it became fuzzy how Spinnaker really measured up. So here's a breakdown for you.

RAD-140 – Finally a Worthwhile SARM?
Question: "You've previously written that SARMs such as Ostarine are more hype than reality. They imitate the name of SERMs, claiming to be "Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators" to have a name that might go over better with the public than "anabolic steroids" does. Well you didn't say exactly that but that was what I got out of it. Ostarine does seem to offer nothing over existing anabolic steroids, I see no reason to add it to a cycle. But I've just read about RAD-140. This one sounds like the real deal. What say you?"
Answer: RAD-140 is indeed very interesting.
First, as to terminology. An "agonist" is a molecule which activates a receptor. A full agonist, at high enough concentration in the blood or test medium, can achieve 100% effect from the receptors. A partial agonist, also called a weak agonist, can only ever achieve partial effect from the receptors. In some cases it binds the receptors, but no activity results. In some cases, the presence of a partial agonist can reduce the effect of a full agonist that is also present. For example, in humans estriol, a weak agonist, can reduce the effect of estradiol, a full agonist.
The concept of a modulator, as opposed to being a simple agonist of some type, is that when the molecule binds to a receptor, in some tissues the receptor will act in one way and in other tissues, a different way.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) or clomiphene (Clomid), for example, cause estrogen receptors in breast tissue to work differently than when estradiol binds the receptors, but in bone tissue causes the receptors to work in the same way as when estradiol binds.
So what would be the significance to androgens? In muscle cells we'd want the molecule to work in the same way that testosterone does. But in tissues that we don't want androgenic effect, ideally we'd want the molecule to work differently at the androgen receptor than testosterone does.
In terms of the most commonly measured effect – levator ani growth vs prostate growth* – we already had this with the synthetic anabolic steroids. The difference in effect was calculated as the anabolic/androgenic ratio. Values for this ratio reached as high as a reported 20:1 with norbolethone, 16:1 with norethandrolone, and 12:1 for oxandrolone.
Ostarine and some others showed anabolic/androgenic ratios comparable to this, though a little better. Differences were arguably more quantitative than being in kind or class, particularly given that the assay method gives quite variable results from one study to another.
RAD-140, however, has shown an anabolic/androgenic ratio of about 90:1, and actually antagonizes (partially blocks) the effect of testosterone on the prostate. That's an impressive demonstration.
Now as to whether RAD-140 has less activity in the scalp or, for women, the larynx than synthetic anabolic steroids, that would be a differing question which may have a differing outcome.
It's a very interesting compound, and could be of value as part of a steroid stack due to its partial testosterone blocking effect in the prostate.
* In the rat, the muscle sometimes called the levator ani acts to elevate the penis. While it responds differently to anabolic steroids than skeletal muscle cells in general do, in the anabolic/androgenic ratio measurements levator ani growth is used as a guess factor for general effect on skeletal muscle growth. Prostate growth provides some useful information on effect on the prostate and is used as a guess factor for effect on other tissues such as the scalp and the larynx, but is of no proven value for estimating effect on those tissues.

It was "out with the old, in with the new" in the morning's race…and "out with new and in with the old" in the afternoon race, as newcomers and old hats were topping the podium as the weekend in Spa came to a thrilling end…
It was Carlin's new boy Jamie Caroline who rose from eighth on the grid to claim a dominant win in race two of his maiden main-season race weekend at Spa Francorchamps. Caroline was second at the end of the first lap and after passing Ayrton Simmons and Tristan Charpentier, disappeared off into the horizon.
Charpentier took second, while Chaimongkol's third place was his second podium of the year; in some ways a bit of a conciliation prize after challenging for second most of the way. Pole-sitter Ayrton Simmons, much like Tom Gamble yesterday, couldn't convert pole in a win and claimed fourth just ahead of Double R's Krishnaraaj Mahadik, with Jamie Chadwick sixth for Douglas Motorsport in a improved second day.
Sun Yue Yang took seventh after a good move on championship leader Linus Lundqvist on the last lap. Lundqvist climbed from 18th and last on the grid to take eighth place despite a low key morning, further extending his advantage over main rival Nicolai Kjaergaard. Finishing 12th, Kjaergaard loses more ground to Lundqvist in the championship battle. Hillspeed's Jusuf Owega and Lanan Racing's Kush Maini completed the top-10.
Simmons made a good start from pole position to lead Charpentier into La Source. Further back, Pavan Ravishankar and Owega got to know each other a little better and came together at La Source, with both wounded but able to limp round at the back of the field. Charpentier passed Simmons mid-way round lap one, while Caroline made a move for second around the outside of Blanchimont to take second before the end of lap one.
Charpentier led by 1.871 seconds at the end of lap one, but Caroline quickly fought back. By lap four, Caroline had eaten away any lead the Frenchman had, taking the lead at the first opportunity on the inside at La Source by outbreaking the Fortec driver. With buckets more pace, Caroline led by over a second the next time they came past the pits, and took that lead all the way to the finish line.
Charpentier had to settle for second but Chaimongkol didn't make it easy by driving an fantastic race from ninth on the grid to claim his second podium.
After his early action at the front, Simmons' drive to fourth was controlled, showing no signs of nerves for the newcomer. He finished just under a second away from the podium places, and 1.6 seconds clear of Mahadik, who had put in a solid drive to finish fifth.
A low key Lundqvist made a steady start, taking four places on lap one. The Swede was up to 11th by the end of lap four, and then gained a further three places on lap five to move into eighth. A tense battle with Yang saw the Chinese driver come out on top. However, points are gained for positions gained and by finishing ahead of his main rivals, Lundqvist has again stretched his title advantage, now enjoying a lead of 85 points at the top of the standings.
Owega recovered well from the first lap drama to secure ninth place with a fighting drive, while Maini climbed from 17th after receiving his grid penalty to round out the top-10.
Following this morning's second race of the weekend at Spa, two one second penalties have been issued to Tristan Charpentier and Krishnaraaj Mahadik.
However, as the officials started to roll up the chequered flag, the stewards were busy throwing penalties around as they clearly felt things weren't action packed enough!
The official wording is as follows;
"Charpentier was judged to have made a number of direction changes between turn four and five on consecutive laps to prevent car 45 (Sasakorn Chaimongkol) from passing, and therefore was handed a one second penalty which relegates him to third in the final classification, with Hillspeed's Sasakorn Chaimongkol promoted to second place.
Krishnaraaj Mahadik was also handed a one second penalty for overtaking car 55 (Jamie Chadwick) with all four wheels outside the track at turn five. Mahadik therefore drops to sixth in the final classification, with Chadwick elevated to fifth place."
On his maiden race win, Caroline had this to say;
"This race was the best shot we had, I've never been here before and my first time in a car for a while. Every time we've been on track, we've been getting quicker which is why I opted for new tyres today. I let a few people past in the race yesterday; the tyres were just shot with qualifying and a 20 minute race. It was a good call to move to new tyres this morning and it's paid off."
"It wasn't easy: we started from P8, so we had a bit of fun hacking through everyone. Charpentier was quick at the start and it was very hard to catch him, but the car was really strong in the middle sector and that's where we got a good enough run on him and then got a good tow down the back straight into the chicane. I got a good exit to [challenge] him into turn one and then I knew I had to get a good gap on the Kemmel straight – I knew if I did that we'd be fine through the middle sector. A mega job by the boys, I've come in knowing it would be down to me and not them and I'm over the moon."
BRDC British F3 Championship, Spa Francorchamps, race two revised result:
1. Jamie Caroline, Carlin, 9 laps
2. Sasakorn Chaimongkol, Hillspeed, +3.586s
3. Tristan Charpentier, Fortec Motorsports, +4.085s

DNF. Tom Gamble, Fortec Motorsports, +5 laps
With barely enough time to take a breath, we cannoned straight into race three of the weekend and it was out with the new in with the old as championship leader Linus Lundqvist claimed his second win of the weekend.
It was cheers all round when Monger took the lead but those cheers were short lived as Lundqvist took the lead on lap two, and then led for the remainder of the race to stretch his championship lead once more. Pole-sitter Tom Gamble claimed second ahead of Monger, who scooped his second podium of the year with third.
Maldonado was fourth for Fortec ahead of Owega. Race two winner Caroline, sixth. Charpentier, Mahadik, Sun Yue Yang and Chaimongkol saw out the top-10.
Gamble led away from pole for the second time this weekend, fending off challenges from both Lundqvist, and Monger. Exiting Eau Rouge and Raidillon, the top three were line abreast, with Monger pulling off a sensational three-way overtake on the inside to lead the first lap. When the teenager spoke to Overtake at Silverstone, he was very honest and open about relearning his race craft. It looks like that is well underway…
The lead didn't last long though, with Lundqvist also moving past Gamble on lap one before passing Monger at Les Combes on lap two to claim the lead. Lundqvist's lead was down to under a second by the end of lap eight, but the teenage ace held onto take his sixth win of the year by 0.770 seconds, and increased his championship margin to 120 points over Kjaergaard, who completed a very indifferent weekend with a DNF.
Behind the battle for the lead, Monger settled into third place well clear of Manuel Maldonado who wasn't quite able to threaten despite running close by mid-way through the race.
Fifth for Owega was his best result of the year, finishing over a second clear of Caroline, who backed up his race two win with sixth place. Under the steward's thumb in the last race, Charpentier ran in sixth place in the early stages before settling for seventh, while Mahadik's eighth place was a three place drop from his starting position. He managed to hold off Sun Yue Yang by just 0.145 seconds, with Chaimongkol just half a second further back.
Kjaergaard's championship looks to be getting away from him as the Dane was forced out of the race after contact at the chicane on lap six. Damage to his car left him unable to continue. A master at the overtake, it's not over yet, but you can't help but feel the fat lady is clearing her throat.
On his second race win of the weekend, Lundqvist said; "It's very difficult to top this with the reverse grid today- like it has been all through the season – has been about making up as many places as possible without making any silly mistakes. And that's what we did. We knew we had the pace for the win in the third race and that's exactly what we did and ended up on top. To win twice here at Spa, it's such a legendary circuit and it's a dream come true to stand here on the podium. And to do it twice in a the weekend is just amazing."
"It's always tight at the start especially with the tow down the Kemmel straight so I was third at one moment but I then got past Tom and then Billy got past the both of us. I was able to stay with Billy in sector two and get him back on the Kemmel straight on the next lap and take the win, so I'm very happy with that. The car has been mega throughout the weekend so it's definitely been a team effort and a big thanks to Double R for this."
The teams head to Brands Hatch in two weeks' time and, as ever, Overtake will be there to bring you all the action.

text: Why Does Your Furnace Smell When You Turn It On? Posted November 1, 2016 The weather is getting colder in Lincoln and we will need to turn our furnaces on soon. This season we get a lot of furnace repair calls from homeowners stating that they smell something when they turn their furnace on for the first time. Most likely you haven't been running your furnace since last year. In that time dust may have collected inside your system. The first time you start your furnace, that dust will incinerate. The smell from this will move through your ducts throughout your house. This doesn't usually pose any sort of concern and the smell will typically diminish after a short amount of time. However, if the odor does not go away after a bit, please call in one of our experts. Another reason you could be smelling an stench from your furnace is that your air filter could be obstructed. This can cause your blower motor to become overworked and could cause the motor, and/or the furnace to overheat. Your furnace is going to be an important part of your life in the near future. If you haven't yet scheduled your regular furnace repair, now is the perfect time. Our experts will ensure your system is running securely and clean the internal components before you have to worry about a burning odor. Give us a call at 402-318-5351 to schedule an appointment with us. Back To Blog

Is There Movement In The Royalty War Between Artists And Pandora?
Pandora Responds To Pink Floyd And David Lowery, musicFIRST Reponds To Pandora
June 26, 2013 at 2:43 PM (PT)
The war of words between artists and PANDORA has been heating up lately, with three members of the iconic Classic Rock band, PINK FLOYD, penning op-ed piece in USA TODAY (NET NEWS 6/24), weighing in on royalty rates, followed by a blog post by CRACKER frontman DAVID LOWERY (NET NEWS 6/25), who posted royalty receipts, expressing his frustration with the situation at PANDORA.
But there could be some progress, reports THEVERGE.COM, which reports "PANDORA, the web's top radio service, has held preliminary discussions with groups representing music artists as well as indie and major labels about ending an increasingly aggressive feud over music royalties."
While no one is actually sitting down yet, "formal negotiations are expected to start soon," sources told THE VERGE.COM, which adds, "this is the first indication that the parties are interested in amicably resolving the issue of how much to charge web radio services for music. The two sides began waging a public relations war against each other when PANDORA went to CAPITOL HILL with legislation that would lower future music royalties."
Pandora Responds To Pink Floyd And David Lowery
In response to PINK FLOYD's USA TODAY op-ed, a PANDORA spokesperson told ALL ACCESS:
"We have enormous respect for the members of PINK FLOYD, and their amazing artistic contributions. We also respect the genuineness of their opinion. Unfortunately, they have been given badly misleading information -- the result of a well-orchestrated campaign by the RIAA and their lobbying arm to mislead and agitate artists. A glaring example is the assertion that PANDORA supports an '85% artist pay cut'. That is simply not true. We never, nor would we ever, support such a thing. In fact, PANDORA has suggested solutions that would guarantee no reduction in artist payouts while also nurturing the growth of internet radio -- a medium that is crucial to thousands of independent musicians who don't enjoy major label support or FM radio exposure.
"This much is true: PANDORA is by far the highest paying form of radio in the world and proudly pays both songwriters and performers. For perspective, to reach the exact same audience, PANDORA currently pays over 4.5 times more in total royalties than broadcast radio for the same song. In fact, at only 7% of U.S. radio listening, PANDORA pays more in performance royalties than any other form of radio."
PANDORA also took exception to CRACKER frontman DAVID LOWERY's blog post. PANDORA told ALL ACCESS:
"Mr. LOWERY's calculations grossly understate PANDORA's payments to songwriters. In truth, PANDORA paid many times more in songwriter royalties to play the song referenced in his article. The post also neglects to mention that the rates PANDORA pays were set by the very organizations that represent songwriters and publishers. These organizations -- BMI and ASCAP -- are the very same groups that recently agreed to a long-term licensing agreement with the terrestrial radio industry to pay songwriters significantly less than PANDORA.
"This much is true: PANDORA is by far the highest paying form of radio in the world and proudly pays both songwriters and performers. For perspective, to reach the exact same audience, PANDORA currently pays over 4.5 times more in total royalties than broadcast radio for the same song. In fact, at only 7% of U.S. radio listening, PANDORA pays more in performance royalties than any other form of radio."
musicFIRST Rebuts Pandora Rebuttal
On the other hand, the MUSICFIRST coalition wasted no time in countering PANDORA's rebuttal to the PINK FLOYD and CRACKER allegations. In the latest blog on its website, the artist-rights group noted that the assertions PANDORA asserted was misleading were from its own books.
"PANDORA claims the band got 'misleading information' regarding PANDORA's desire to cut artists' pay by 85%," MUSICFIRST noted. "But ... the information comes from IRFA's sponsors and PANDORA's TIM WESTERGREN himself. The company said the idea behind IRFA is to remedy the difference between Internet radio royalties (50% of revenue) and satellite radio (8% of revenue). Going from 50% to 8% is about an 85% cut. It's simple math."
What's more, "it's hard to know what the doubletalk about 'no reduction in artist payouts' means, but I would like them to show us where that 'guarantee' is in the bill the company is pushing. It's not in there."

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve moved into the ready position Wednesday for the next phase of its retreat from its post-crisis economic stimulus campaign. In a statement after a two-day meeting of its policy-making committee, the Fed said it would start reducing its bond holdings "relatively soon" so long as moderate economic growth continues.
The Fed remains officially sanguine about lower than expected inflation. The stance is likely to reinforce market expectations that the Fed will take action to increase borrowing costs at its next meeting, in September. Rather than raising its benchmark rate, the Fed is expected to announce it will begin to reduce its bond holdings.
The Fed accumulated more than $4 trillion in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities as part of its campaign to reduce borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. Under its exit plan, which it described in June, it would gradually reduce those holdings — initially at the slow pace of $10 billion a month.
The Fed has held borrowing costs at low levels since the financial crisis to increase economic activity by encouraging borrowing and risk-taking. The agency is now trying to raise costs to reduce those incentives.
By the end of the year, the Fed projects that interest rates could return to a level that would neither encourage nor discourage economic activity.
So far, however, markets have largely shaken off the Fed's retreat. Borrowing costs remain low and loan terms have shown little sign of tightening. Some measures show financial conditions have eased since the Fed began its retreat.
At its last meeting, in June, the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate for the third consecutive quarter, to a range of 1 percent to 1.25 percent. The agency also described its plans for reducing its bond holdings, a process that analysts expect to begin at the Fed's next meeting.
Those steps reflected the Fed's confidence in the health of the economy.
Since then, however, some Fed officials have expressed concern about continued weakness in inflation. The agency's preferred measure declined in the last three monthly reports, to 1.4 percent in May from an annualized pace of 2.1 percent in February.
The Fed aims to keep inflation at a 2 percent annual rate. While high and rising inflation is economically disruptive, lower inflation can cause problems, too.
Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, has been the most vocal among Fed officials in warning that the agency may be raising interest rates too quickly. He voted against the quarter-point rate increases in March and in June. Several other members of the Fed's policy-making committee have expressed concern about weak inflation in recent weeks.
Janet L. Yellen, the Fed's chairwoman, has acknowledged the recent weakness, but she has said that she expects inflation to rebound. Job growth remains strong, with most Fed officials seeing a tight labor market that is likely to result in higher prices.
The Fed has predicted one more rate increase this year, but analysts do not expect a decision earlier than December, so the Fed has time to consider the incoming data.
Some investors saw evidence in the Fed's statement that the central bank is a little less likely to raise rates in December. The dollar weakened against foreign currencies, continuing a recent trend. The dollar's exchange value reflects market perceptions of the relative strength of the American economy compared with the rest of the world.
Stock indexes rose after the 2 p.m. announcement, as equity investors like low rates. The S.&P. 500 index ended the day up very slightly at 2,477.83. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell slightly because bond investors like high rates.
Analysts saw little evidence of a shift in the Fed's monetary policy plans.
"We think the Fed has laid out its policy plans quite clearly and it is unlikely to deviate from them unless there is a very dramatic change to inflation and employment trends," said Rick Rieder, BlackRock's chief investment officer of global fixed income.
Michael Feroli, chief United States economist at JPMorgan Chase, said investors were overanalyzing minor changes in the Fed's wording.
"We don't sense a significant loss of confidence from the FOMC that inflation will return to target over time," he said, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's policy panel.

" Hence, from stage left, enters the language of mathematics. One might argue that the vocabulary, syntax, and other core features of mathematics provide the universalistic perspective—"the same picture," per Whorf—imbuing scientists with cross-culturally shared investigation into, understanding of, and communication about the universe. Mathematics provides, one might say, the very "common linguistic background" you refer to—without our having to clear the dust off such over-worn expressions as the "elegance" or "unreasonable effectiveness" of mathematics. To that extent, perhaps Whorf's sense of a "new principle of relativity"—while applicable to many culturally sensitive/subjective endeavors like the social sciences, where for example human and societal behaviors pertain—does not really describe the world of physics and related subject areas. In the context of the essay—"linguistic culturism"—I wonder, then, if mathematics as a language is an exception.

Role of Chemistry in Agriculture
On behalf of the Journal, as Editor-in-Chief, it is my distinct honour and privilege to welcome you to the Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry.
The Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry aims to spread knowledge and promote discussion through the publication of peer-reviewed, high quality research papers on all topics related to Chemistry. The open access journal is published by Insight Medical Publishing who hosts open access peer-reviewed journals as well as organizes conferences that hosts the work of researchers in a manner that exemplifies the highest standards in research integrity.
Modern agriculture can be defined as an aggregate of intensive and large-scale farming or cultivation of land through mono-cropping. Modern agriculture can be traced back to the Sumerians around 5500 BC. Modern agriculture highly depends on the use of advanced scientific techniques. These scientific techniques rely mostly on chemistry. Through the production of pesticides, fertilizers, and antibiotics, it is evident that chemistry has played a significant role in maximizing the yield of animal products and crops. A branch of chemistry which plays a significant role in the production of these chemicals is known as Organic chemistry.
For over half a century, the use of organic chemistry has been the heart of food production and crop protection strategies for arable farming. It forms an integral part of the basis of photosynthesis which has seen us maximize on our agricultural produce. This advancement of agriculture could not be successful with the active research carried out in chemistry. The role of chemistry in agriculture can be efficiently and comprehensively be classified as follows:
Fertilizers are merely materials that are added to the soil to supply one or more nutrients needed for the growth of plants. Fertilizer can be of natural or synthetic (organic or inorganic) origin. A recent research has found that 50% of the crop yields are attributed to the use of commercial fertilizers.
The organic fertilizers are naturally derived from the animal manure, compost or the fish and bone meal. Through decomposition by the microorganisms which are found in the soil, these fertilizers release nutrients which are essential for crop growth. Unlike organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers are synthesized through the Haber-Bosch process. In this process, ammonia is produced as the end product which is used in combination with other nitrogen fertilizers.
Chemistry has been successful in the production of pesticides which have minimized the crop damage by pesticides. Depending on the targeted pest, pesticides include fungicides, pediculicides, herbicides, biocides, and insecticides.
Our Journal emphasizes high-level research and education. Original research articles, reviews, short communications, and letters to the editors in the fields of Chemistry are welcome. Every effort is made to have a speedy and critical peer-review process.
We always encourage your research works under the scope of our Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. (Tap on the link to submit your research work)
