23 Must Know Digital Marketing Terms and Definitions

One of the more important assets any independent artist can have is business knowledge.

The idea that an artist in today’s age can be successful without having a fundamental understanding of not only the business of music but also how to market their music is ridiculous.

But don’t worry, I’ve got your back!

In order to lay this marketing foundation, I’ve compiled a collection of digital terms and definitions with which you need to be familiar.

In fact, I landed on 23 Must Know Digital Marketing Terms and Definitions, which I’ve condensed into a simple PDF workbook.

A catchall term for online work that includes specialized marketing practices like SEO, PPC, web design, blogging, content, and any other form of advertising on an internet-connected device with a screen.

Traditionally, television was not considered digital marketing, however, the shift from cable television to internet streaming means that digital advertising can now be served to online TV viewers.

Any form of online media that can be read, watched or interacted with.

Content commonly refers specifically to written material, such as ad copy.

Creative typically refers to images and videos used for online advertising.

A series of advertising messages that share a common theme and market a product or service.

In the context of digital marketing, campaigns can be run through search and display network advertising platforms (i.e. Google, Bing), social media (i.e. Facebook, Instagram), email, or other online platforms.

A particular group at which an advertising campaign is aimed to deliver.

For example, you may set up a campaign to deliver to a target audience of people who like Hip Hop music, or specific artists that you share artistic qualities.

This term is used to define the number of times an advertisement appears to its target audience.

An impression could also be related to a website and the number of times the web page appear in total.

For example, 1 person could view a single ad 5 times, amounting to 5 impressions. While 2 people could view a single ad 5 times each, amounting to 10 impressions.

A Call To Action (CTA) is an element on a web page used to push visitors towards a specific action or conversion.

A CTA can be a clickable button with text, an image, or simply text, and typically uses an imperative verb phrase like: “Listen to My Single” or “View My Video”.

This is a specific page on your website optimized to be used as a point-of-entry.

For example, you may set up a landing page dedicated to your recent album release. Paid advertising campaigns that link to this page would be optimized to reach target audiences who would likely be interested in the album.

A landing page should always have a clearly identifiable Call To Action (CTA).

When a visitor takes the desired action while visiting your website, it is referred to as a conversion.

This can be a purchase, membership signup, download or registration for your newsletter.

A metric showing how often people click on an ad after they see it, calculated by dividing the number of clicks on the ad divided by the number of impressions (how many times it was seen).

This ratio can be useful when determining whether an ad’s messaging matches what the consumer is searching for and if it resonates with them.

The higher the CTR percentage, the better your ad has performed.

Cost Per Click (CPC) is the amount of advertising dollars spent in order to generate a single click.

For example, if you spend $100 on advertising and obtain 200 clicks, your CPC is $0.50.

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) is the amount of advertising dollars spent in order to acquire a new customer.

For example, if you spend $400 on an advertisement and have 100 people buy your album, your CPA is $4.

In other words, it cost you $4 to obtain 1 customer.

Return On Investment (ROI) is the amount of NET profit divided by the cost of investment times 1,000.

For example, you spend $2 to produce a CD which you sell for $12. If your CPA is $4 per CD, let’s do the math to figure out your ROI:

$12 (Sale Price) – $2 (Cost of CD) – $4 (CPA) = $6 (Net Profit)

$6 (Net Profit) / $6 (Cost of CD + CPA) x 1000 = 100% ROI

A source of traffic to your website that comes through clicking on a non-paid search engine result.

It’s sometimes referred to as “Free” traffic.

Organic traffic can also be the result of somebody typing your website URL directly into a browser, clicking a link from another website, etc.

Organic traffic is the best type of traffic!

This type of traffic to your website originates from somebody clicking on an advertisement through Google AdWords, Facebook Advertising, etc.

Paid traffic also encompasses any form of paid advertisement that directly points to your website.

This is the best way to get large amounts of traffic to your website, so it’s important to maximize your efforts with proper targeting and optimization.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a technique used to optimize a website so that it will rank higher organically on a search engine’s results page (SERP).

The higher your website’s ranking, typically the more traffic it will generate.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the process of gaining website traffic by purchasing ads on search engines.

Google AdWords is the most popular platform for SEM.

The most common ad types used in SEM are Pay Per Click (PPC) and Display.

A sequence of bidding on keyword terms is used, that when searched, results in your ad being displayed to somebody on Google or Bing.

Search Engine Results Page (SERP) is the list of results provided by a search engine after a search is made.

Your ranking is determined by your keyword bidding strategies. If you’re willing to pay the highest amount for a particular search term, then your ad will display in the first position on the first page.

A Google platform that allows you to collect statistics and data about your website visitors.

Google Analytics (sometimes abbreviated as GA) allows webmasters to see where web traffic comes from and how visitors behave once on the site.

Facebook allows advertisers to reach its users through their ad network.

A range of ad types can be created to reach your campaign objectives (i.e image, video, and carousel ads).

Facebook advertising is unique in that audiences are set up based on vast demographic information that Facebook has about their users, as compared to Google advertising that uses keywords.

Ads Manager is a tool for creating Facebook ads, managing when and where they’ll run, and tracking how well campaigns are performing on Facebook, Instagram or their Audience Network.

Facebook is one of the most affordable and logical ways to market your music.

A Facebook platform that allows marketers to manage multiple pages and ad accounts in one central location.

When properly set up, this is the central hub for managing your Facebook page and Facebook advertising.

A collection of email addresses that can be used to send targeted email marketing campaigns.

Lists are typically segmented by user classification so a list of existing customers can receive one type of communication, while potential customers can receive more promotional communication.

There is nothing more valuable to you as an artist then your ‘list’. These are the fans who are most likely to support you, buy your products and come to your shows!

A marketing system that uses software to automatically send emails based on defined triggers.

Multiple automated emails in a sequence are used to create user funnels and segment users based on behavior.

For example, an automation funnel could be set to send “email 1” when a person provides their email address, then either “email 2a or 2b” would be sent based on whether or not the person clicked on the first email.

Aidonia Launches New Foundation & Scholarship Programme

In the words of the great revolutionary and philanthropist Nelson Manley, “A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” And that’s the type of noble mindset that has inspired Dancehall artiste Sheldon Lawrence better known as Aidonia to launch a new initiative geared towards educating youths and providing support for the disenfranchised.

On Friday morning, the deejay and members of his JOP camp invaded the grounds of the Maxfield Park Primary School situated at 51 Langard Avenue in Kingston for the launch of the new ‘One Voice Foundation’ and ‘Sheldon Lawrence Scholarship’ programme. Forming one of several nodes of the Foundation, the Scholarship is geared towards assisting students of the Maxfield Park Primary School with their educational challenges as they transition into high school.

Worth almost $300,000 Jamaican dollars the scholarship focuses on five students at the grade six level. The top student who exemplify good behaviour, attitude, maintain the highest grades and overall progress throughout their primary school tenure and passes their GSAT Examinations will receive an annual grant of $200,000 for high school. The remaining four will each receive a $20,000 book voucher annually to offset high school expenses.

Working in tandem with Aidonia’s mother Monica Lawrence, also a teacher at the school Principal of the institution Ms. Annette McDonald lauded the entertainer for his efforts during their devotional routine while encouraging others to emulate his path. Speaking with several members of the media who were on hand to witness the event, Aidonia reiterated his commitment to the development of our next generation of leaders.

“A lot of times when you come from a certain socio-economic background people like to tell you that you won’t amount to nothing, so I am just here to help and encourage the youths to know that whatever they aspire to be in life they can attain that, as long as you remain positively focused on your goals. Sometime to achieve these goals they need help and that is where someone like me comes in, not just to give them verbal mentoring but also help financially whenever possible. You have to bend the tree from it’s young if you want it to grow a certain way. They are the ones who grow up and support our music and make us into successful entertainers so it shouldn’t be so difficult for us to render assistance when we see the need.”

Though still in its infancy Aidonia says the ‘One Voice Foundation’ will be embarking on a number of other community based projects in the months ahead with future plans to take the initiative island-wide.

Meanwhile, afoot his upcoming tour of Europe, the ‘Don Deh Yah’ singer is slated to release a pair of videos for the buzz worthy singles ‘Ryder’ and ‘Love Off Yuh Gyal’. The latter is featured on the ZJ Liquid produced ‘Good Book’ rhythm.

It's 1,700 pages of litigation between iHeartMedia Inc. and a group of its investors, that want their money back.  iHeart has technically defaulted on its debt, while continuing to do business as normal.

According to the San Antonio Express, the San Antonio operated iHeartMedia “could ultimately force iHeart to file for bankruptcy,” the company said in its lawsuit filed in state district court.

The struggling radio company owns failing properties in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Montgomery, Gadsden, Mobile, and Huntsville in Alabama.  IHeartMedia has an astounding $20.6 billion in long-term debt — debt that it has been continually restructured over the years. It’s kind of a self-imposed bankruptcy type of process designed to kick the can down the road.

iHeartMedia filed a lawsuit against its bondholders. The lawsuit, which delves into the murky world of corporate accounting, aims to attempt to stop the default notices.
Inside sources say, many higher-ups within the company are preparing for their "next chapter" in life.  Some plan to retire, and others are relocating as the waters now rise quickly.

A Dream

So I had a dream the other day. It seems that I was asked, at short notice, to cover a high school music class as a supply teacher. For whatever reason, I felt obliged to accept and didn't really feel as if I could admit to them that I'd never taught a music class and had no idea how to. All I was able to learn about the class is that 'they're working on (some classical piece) by (some classical composer) - a piece I'd never heard of but again pretended I had.

They'd given me short notice. Still, whatever time I had, I wasted a good portion doing something or other. I then realised that I had only a few minutes before class started and I hadn't prepared at all. I decided I needed to go and purchase sheet music for the piece, in case they didn't have it at the school. Scrambling for time, I went to a Dollarama to see if they had it. Of course, Dollarama doesn't carry sheet music, but it turns out they had a series of birthday cards that incorporated snatches of the score for that piece into their designs - quite luckily, one card would focus on part of the French horn part, another on the oboe, etc. I decided that was good enough and picked them up.

By now, I was quite late for class though. I high-tailed it to the school, which was my own high school from back in the day (that's not factually true; it was a place of my own design). So I knew where the music classes were held, but when I got to that part, I found that the students for my class had been locked in some kind of large cage by the principal (who in this drama had been my principal), who had them somehow listening to the kinds of trial CD players they have at CD stores. They seemed quite content, but the principal was obviously quite upset with me. I apologised, and he said, 'well, you'd better make do with the remainder of the time'. I asked what he thought I should do, and he recommended something laughably wrongheaded - something like multiplication drills. But it seemed like a good enough idea to me, so I rubbished the Dollarama birthday cards and unlocked the gate.

The best part about this highly stupid dream is that at that point I said to myself, "Oh God... do I really have to do these stupid multiplication drills now? Of course not; it's only a dream. I could just finish it right here."

And so I did.

Hundreds of new shoes given to Houston students in need

An act of generosity will mean hundreds of Houston students will return to class this school year with a new pair of shoes.

Children from the Star of Hope Transitional Living Center showed up today at Academy Sports + Outdoors for a day of fun and surprises.

In addition to enjoying crafts and refreshments, Tree of Hope volunteers helped the children pick out some new shoes.

This is the ninth year for the event, which was sponsored by the Kappa Kappa Gamma Charitable Foundation of Houston, and hosted by Academy.

Ruth Githumbi, executive director of the Tree of Hope, said the experience is one some of these children never had.

"New shoes represent a boost in self-confidence, and we believe that self-confidence will help equip these kids to have the best school year they possibly can," Githumbi said.

OTRC: Kelly Preston's support system: Scientology, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and family

Kelly Preston and John Travolta appear in an undated photo on the actress' official website. (KellyPreston.com / Michael Doven)

Kelly Preston says Scientology is among the things that helps her cope during hard times, more than two years after her and husband John Travolta lost their teenage son Jett.

The boy, who was autistic, died in January 2009 at age 16 after suffering a seizure at the family's home in the Bahamas. After his death, the couple formed the Jett Travolta Foundation, a charity that supports and raises awareness for children with special needs.

Asked who she turns to "when times are tough," Preston told Heath magazine in an interview published in its September 2011 issue: "Johnny is definitely my rock. Kirstie (Alley) is one of my absolute best friends. My mom, my brother. And to be honest, the Scientology center. I don't know if I would have made it through without it. We've been able to navigate through it and to come to a place that is a lot better."

The Church of Scientology was founded in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Preston, 48, and Travolta, 57, have been a part of the religion for years, along with fellow celebrities Kirstie Alley, Travolta's co-star from the "Look Who's Talking" movies and a friend of his family, and Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes.

Preston and Travolta are also parents to daughter Ella Bleu, 11, and son Benjamin, who was born in November 2010. At the time, the actor told Hello! magazine that the couple's new baby has given the family's home a "renewed spirit and purpose."

Travolta, Preston and the pair's daughter are all set to star with Lindsay Lohan in the 2012 crime drama movie "Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father," previously called "Gotti: Three Generations." The film which tells of the life of mob boss John Gotti and his son.

Intended Parents

Thank you for your interest in Abundant Beginnings, Los Angeles Surrogacy agency.  You are one step closer to your dream of building a family through Surrogacy.

hand-and-footFortunately, today’s advances in medical technology afford couples or singles the opportunity to have children – unlike conditions years ago when the options to conceive were limited. Using a Gestational Surrogate opens the door to parenthood for an increasing number of both men and women, couples and singles.

Surrogacy can be an emotional, stressful, and yet an exciting journey leading to parenthood. However, the process of using a Surrogate has its own language – one that your closest friend or family member most likely will not  understand, never having experienced the Surrogacy journey themselves.

Surrogacy involves the ultimate trust – both in the individual who is carrying your future child and in those who are guiding you through the process.

Abundant Beginnings provides a surrogacy program that is discreet, highly specialized and efficient for both surrogates and intended parents. Our staff understands and appreciates the desire you have to create or extend your family

Our unique approach and range of Surrogacy services offer clients options for surrogacy that can be more affordable, yet still of the highest quality.

What to look for in a surrogacy agency:

Making the initial call to a surrogacy agency is a huge leap of faith.  You are entrusting your life’s dream of building or extending your family to strangers – one who will carry your future child and the other who will guide you through the process – step by step.

When choosing a Surrogacy agency, you should look for experience. Julie Allgood and Nicole Lawson, owners of Abundant Beginnings (previously Alternative Conceptions Surrogacy), have worked in the field of surrogacy for many years. (see:  About Us)  Their extensive knowledge of the intricacies of surrogacy enables them to guide you smoothly through each step of the process. The compassion and care with which they handle each case create an environment of trust in both the surrogate and the intended parent.

The element of trust is key in supporting the emotional process associated with surrogacy. Maintaining open and steady communication between the agency and the intended parents enables each party to feel more comfortable and at ease during the process.

It is important for the intended parents to identify how involved they want to be during and after the pregnancy.  With that in mind, it is essential that the needs of the intended parents be matched with those of the surrogate.  Most couples prefer an open relationship with their surrogate.

Regardless the type of relationship the intended parents desire to have with the surrogate, the staff of Abundant Beginnings will act as a liaison when necessary – facilitating communication and making the journey to parenthood as smooth as possible.

Abundant Beginnings offers competitive pricing with various program options. Please contact us to discuss our “a la carte” Surrogacy program for our domestic clients.

How to get started:

Please contact us at any point to answer whatever questions you might have or to begin your surrogacy journey.

  1. Complete our online registration form for intended parents through surrogacy

We pride ourselves on choosing surrogates who are physically healthy and emotionally stable, who have had easy pregnancies and deliveries, and have the strong desire to help others create a family.  Based on your specific requests and the input on your completed questionnaire, you will receive a profile of a potential surrogate.  Once you have found a surrogate you consider a potential match, Abundant Beginnings will then arrange a conference or Skype call between you and your desired surrogate. Please feel free to contact us for more specific details on the matching process.

med_examMedical Evaluation of Surrogate

The surrogate is medically evaluated by a reproductive endocrinologist of your choosing. Results of the exam are complete in approximately ten days. When the surrogate is medically cleared, the process can proceed to the next phase. We work with many doctors all over the country, so please let us know if we can support you by making a referral.

Abundant Beginnings will provide intended parents with a list of preferred family formation attorneys.  The agency will guide you through each step involved in the drafting of the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate.

med_syncMedical Preparation Cycle

The surrogate and intended parent begin medications to coordinate their bodies in preparation for egg retrieval and embryo transfer.  (If an egg donor is being used, this medical phase refers only to the surrogate.)

embryoEmbryo Transfer

The embryo transfer (or donor egg implantation) takes place at the fertility clinic being used by the intended parents.  Abundant Beginnings coordinates all details for the surrogate’s travel and accommodations.

pregOnce Pregnant

Abundant Beginnings will maintain regular contact with the intended parents and surrogate throughout the entire pregnancy.  We are available to assist in anyway we can.

O.J. Simpson Barred From Vegas Hotel After Out Of Control Drinking Incident

Six weeks after being released on parole from Lovelock Correctional Prison, disgraced NFL legend O.J. Simpson has hit a snag. Simpson was caught on video drinking and throwing glasses on the floor. The indecent happened in the wee hours of Thursday morning at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas. Adult entertainer ‘Shivonn’ spotted O.J. At the STK steakhouse in the hotel, telling Radar Online that Simpson was at the restaurant with two other males. The adult entertainer told Radar that Simpson was laughing and drinking and standing at the bar, the entire time she saw him.

She said she walked over to Simpson and asked for a picture. Simpson she says said “sure”, in spite of the non-stop drinking she claims Simpson was very kind and very open, and kind, and happily took the picture with her. Shivonn said she arrived at the bar around 10:00 p.m. and O.J had a drink in his hand. She claims Simpson’s drink of choice ‘was not beer’, he wad drinking hard liquor non stop. He stayed an hour longer than Shivonn, she said she was so angry she said she had employees keep an eye on Simpson.

Simpson became belligerent, calling hotel staff names, and throwing glasses down and breaking them. The hotel manager booted Simpson out of the hotel, and told him he was banned from future entry. The terms of Simpson’s parole is that he can not drink heavily, and several onlookers reported that Simpson was drunk. According to a source the Nevada Department Parole board has been notified, and there is a chance that the drunken incident could be a parole violation. Simpson requested to do his parole in Florida, however the correct paperwork had not been filed when he was released on October 1.

SCKMC, city officials have discussion; Public Building Commission meets

South Central Kansas Medical Center administrators fielded serious questions from Arkansas City Mayor Dan Jurkovich and City Manager Nick Hernandez during the Sept. 28 meeting of the SCKMC Board of Trustees. The questions came on the heels of SCKMC’s announced intention to scale back a project that had showed significant profit in its first six months. To date in 2017, this program — a lab outreach effort that crossed several state lines — has generated more than $1 million of revenue for the hospital. During the last City Commission meeting, held Sept. 19, SCKMC Chief Executive Officer Virgil Watson said the program was not really working for the hospital. “That’s probably not something we’re going to do going forward,” he said. Immediately after this meeting, the Arkansas City Public Building Commission — which includes the five city commissioners and holds the bonds used to construct the new hospital — met in a series of executive sessions at noon Sept. 28 at City Hall to discuss personnel productivity matters related to the medical center. Hospital officials in attendance for at least one of the sessions included Watson, SCKMC Chief Financial Officer Holly Harper and Carol Hearne, chair of the SCKMC Board of Trustees. No details are available about the discussions, which were closed to the public. Back and forth Many of the questions related to financial projections if the lab...

Beautification board making final preparations for Oct. 14 Fall Cleanup Day

The Arkansas City Beautification and Tree Advisory Board is preparing for Fall Cleanup Week. This effort to tidy up streets, homes and businesses in Arkansas City is scheduled for two weeks before Arkalalah, running from Oct. 9 to Oct. 13. During that week, sanitation crews will pick up extra loads and even some unusual items. Leaves still need to be taken to the F Street burn pit, however. On Oct. 14, groups of people will volunteer their time to help people clean up their properties on Fall Cleanup Day. There are many different facets to the cleanup effort, including mowing, trash and debris pickup, and potentially even some painting. Several key areas have been targeted in central and southern Ark City, given their proximity to Arkalalah Festival activities. “The board really wants to get the town looking as nice as possible for our biggest festival of the year, especially with this year’s special dedication of the Wilson Park train engine,” said Public Information Officer Andrew Lawson. For more information or to volunteer for Fall Cleanup Day, call Lawson at (620) 441-4415 or email him at Planning meeting Board members spent most of their Sept. 28 regular meeting discussing plans and details for the citywide cleanup effort. Combination Inspector Brian Williams said several properties located adjacent to alleys downtown need to be attacked with weed whackers. Additionally, homes that...

Good Grief of Kansas bringing suicide bereavement services to Ark City

Starting Oct. 2, Good Grief of Kansas will have a brand-new chapter in Arkansas City. Kathy Harbert will facilitate the group, which is intended to help those grieving the loss of loved ones due to suicide. “We recognize that while the death of a loved one always causes pain and loss, there is additional heartache when a loved one has taken (his or her) own life,” the Good Grief of Kansas website states. This group is based in Wichita, but has decided to offer its services in Cowley County as well, due to demand. Overcoming the stigma The very first meeting in Arkansas City is set for Oct. 2. Anyone who has suffered a loss to suicide is welcome to attend. The group is meant to accommodate any person older than 16. Harbert attended six months of training after experiencing the loss of her brother-in-law to suicide. “I’ve been through the emotions they’re going through,” she said of the people Good Grief of Kansas seeks to help. “(Loss to suicide) is not a normal, everyday grief. There is a stigma attached to suicide that makes long-term grief more difficult.” This group is not faith-based, but the event is free to those who attend. The first class will be held at 7 p.m. in the MidAmerican Credit Union community room, located at 1610 N. Summit St. The group will meet on...

The day the kid walked Out of the Cradle

Four years back, I was struggling for a niche, crawling to make up a place in this world where people recognize you, yes YOU by your deeds. Where you're the king one day, and you could turn out to be a beggar the same day. Life and survival of the fittest.

I got a chance when I was selected by an IT firm, four years ago, a chance to find an existence. It wasn't a five point someone or the mistakes in my life. It was just me and I had my own story to tell.

I was asked to relocate to Mumbai. I had to move to a new place after twenty three years in Odisha and I guess it was my time to come out of the shell and break the comfort zone. Phew !! Its gonna be tough ! Assumptions and perceptions all around, I moved over to Mumbai with a heavy heart and mind, unaware about the how the situations would react to me.

Stay Classy, Scarborough

There's nothing like moving to the other side of the country to get a fresh perspective on the place you left. When I lived in Toronto I was too close to it, pressed up against the window, too close to resolve any of the flecks of dirt on the glass. Here in British Columbia I have access to, and continue to follow, the same media sources that kept me informed when I still hung my hat in the megacity, but they're bloodless now. Thankfully, the present antics of the Toronto municipal government have no effect on New Westminster, and I can watch things unfold from a dispassionate, outsider's perspective.

That's the theory, at least. It's kind of harder in practice, particularly when it starts looking like Toronto is about to go Oroborous and start eating its own tail.

Hizzoner da Mayor hasn't done particularly much for municipal unity in the year since a plurality of voters propelled him into power. His support base was in the outer-ring cities of Metro Toronto, and he's been excellent at reopening old wounds and cutting fresh ones. I don't recall suburban venom being so close to the surface during any previous mayoralty. This time, the problem was less the mayor himself than what he set in motion, and it was presented in all its starkness last night at the Scarborough Civic Centre, where hundreds of people crowded in for an honest debate on the merits of light rail transit versus the subway.

"Subways! Subways!" According to the Star that was the sound of the crowd. "Not glorified streetcars!"

Sure looks like a streetcar to me.

It annoys me, but I can also understand it, because the average Torontonian - many of them unwilling to do even a modicum of research themselves, despite having the single largest gathering of knowledge and information in all of human history literally at their fingertips - doesn't know what LRT is, and can only put it in a familiar context; that is, streetcars.

What I can't understand, what drives me to gnash my teeth, is the unrelenting childishness that's surrounding the "debate" of this issue. I mean, really, if you were charged with building a business plan for funding a subway extension, the appropriate response to someone asking where in the plan one could find an explanation for where the money's coming from is not "are you thick or what?"

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what fools like the debate's loudest voices want - the numbers, be they political or financial, are not on their side. Toronto does not have the money to extend the Sheppard Line east, and the people of Toronto are not interested in paying higher taxes in order to build it. At this point, though, Ford's work has been done. Back in 2010 the path was clear for Transit City and LRT, but his constant hectoring has opened a wound there too.

When I look at the arguments that are going on regarding the subway now, I can't help but find them extremely pathetic. Extending the subway into Scarborough doesn't make any sense in terms of the business case or the efficiency of moving people - the fact of the matter is that Sheppard Avenue East cannot support a subway. It was a mistake to build it at all - we can thank Mel Lastman's ambition to make North York a real city for that - and extending it now, when only a fraction of its capacity is used as it is, would only compound that mistake. But people aren't thinking of the business case or the efficiency case. I can only conclude that the big problem here is that the notion of the subway is being tied to Scarborough's sense of self-worth, that if only it can get a subway it'll stop being Scarberia.

I know that all of Scarborough isn't like this. Really, though, these antics are reflecting poorly on its people. It's the sort of situation where I wish I could make every Scarboroughnian subway supporter go up to busy rush-hour bus stops on Finch West and tell the people waiting there that Scarborough deserves a gold-plated subway more than they need a modicum of rapid transit, or have the government of Ontario just throw up its hands and reassign that Transit City money to, say, Hamilton. Let Hamilton build a light rail system and show Toronto how it's done.

Amyloid-like Formation by Self-Assembly of Peptidolipids in Two Dimensions

Domenii publicaţii > Chimie + Tipuri publicaţii > Articol în revistã ştiinţificã

Autori: Li, C.; Orbulescu, J.; Sui, G.; Leblanc, R. M.

Editorial: David G. Whitten, ACS, Langmuir, 20 (20), p.8641-8645, 2004.

The accumulation of ß-amyloid peptide (Aß) in the human brain is known to be the major cause that drives Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Aß, a 39-42 amino acid peptide, is the cleavage product of amyloid precusor protein in the hydrophobic transmembrane region. The present study employs a two-dimensional (2D) approach. Two synthetic peptidolipids, C18-IIGLM-OH and C18-IIGLM-NH2, are selected based on the fragment 31-35 of Aß which is recognized as one of the determining segments that induces formation of amyloid fibril plaques. The aliphatic hydrocarbon chain C18 is attached to the N-terminal of the fragment 31-35 to facilitate the 2D study at the air-water interface. The aggregation process is observed by two measurements: (1) surface pressure-area and surface dipole moment-area isotherms and (2) epifluorescence microscopy of the Langmuir films to investigate the topography of the amyloid-like formation.

Cuvinte cheie: langmuir film, amyloid-like structure, aggregation, epi-fluorescence

GTKTPRFP - Who Wants My Help?

I got a personal call today from a supporter of Barack Obama. The volunteer’s name was Liz and she encouraged me to vote for Barack, let me know that early voting was underway, and invited me to visit Barack Obama’s Tennessee headquarters here in Nashville. She also asked how I would be interested in helping the campaign. I don’t think I’m going to help him, but it was an incredible show of his push into TN. Two thumbs up for the nice lady Liz and for Obama’s campaign in general.

On another note, I got an email from Rudolph Giuliani’s campaign today. It was an endorsement written by a Hollywood celebrity. It was from Jon Voight. Yeah, that Jon Voight. Who in their right mind got this email and thought: “You know what, I was leaning toward Mitt Romney, but this shakes EVERYTHING up.”

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Jon Voight. His range in portraying FDR in Pearl Harbor to Larry Zoolander is one for the history books.

He’s a likable guy (Well except to Angelina Jolie. Yeah I watch E!, back off), but who cares who this guy votes for? Two thumbs down for random irrelevant political endorsements. (Mine included)

I know a guy who bought a car that Jon Voight used to own. He even left a chewed on pencil in the Glove Compartment.

Found Objects

Happy Halloween, all! May your celebrations be fun and candy filled. We've not had much traffic at this house in previous years, but I bought a  bag of candy just in case there is a knock on the door tonight.

This is more or less a mini post. As you may have gathered from reading this blog, a lot of my time is spent reading, either books from the library or ones bought used. Here are  some of the things found in books to mark the place of previous readers:

There are postcards, old, new and foreign; a photograph, a holy card, a child's drawing, a child's homework that was mailed to  General Delivery, a boarding pass and a tiny paper bag. No currency to date, alas, so far. Over the years there have been a lot of pictures, the man with the fish is just the most recent, as well as multiple boarding passes, when they used to be large and cardboard, before people began to print them out at home. Clearly, what you learn from a book doesn't always come from the author. A librarian once said a book was returned with a slice of cooked bacon in it; so far I've not encountered anything edible, thank goodness. Do you find this kind of ephemera curiously intriguing, or is it just so much trash?

Have a good one,

October 30, 2013

Day of the Dead 2013

Hello, friends,

In a timely twist today in the mail was a postcard invitation to the Day of the Dead reception this coming Saturday at Casa Ramirez, right after I started to pull things together for my ofrenda this year. Since some of the pictures used last year were put away so well they have yet to surface again, it had to be a fresh start.

Again, there are pictures of my mother and her brother, born in 1923 and 1920 respectively. My mom's 90th birthday would have been last week, which is hard to realize. They were both born here in Houston where their parents moved when they married after the end of WWI and for the most part lived in the same neighborhood or nearby to where we are now. They seemed to have a very happy childhood from all accounts. Both my grandparents were from large families, so there were literally dozens of cousins they spent a lot of time with whenever possible. Their names were Roy Jr. and Althea, but both went by nicknames all their lives, known as June Boy and Boukie.

Those pictures seem to  be when they were around 18 and 15, or maybe a  year or two older or younger.

This is a closer view of Boukie. Included are other photos, a coffee cup because she loved to drink coffee, a coke because she liked those, too, candy and things representative of her interests. There are flowers, feathers, leaves and nature elements, because she was always collecting things like that to  bring inside, brushes and paint because she was an amateur artist, a cat because she always had cats and a tiny bottle brush tree. That makes me laugh, because after there were no kids at home my dad would ask hopefully every year. "So, you don't want to put a tree up this year, do you?" but to his disappointment, she always did.

That is a  snapshot of her holding me as a fairly newborn infant.

A globe because she liked to travel, although she never got to  any far-flung places and books because she had a stack beside her chair and bed at all times.

I don't have a lot of her things to remember her by, some pictures and the baby shoes and a very few other items. I'm not sure what my dad did with her keepsakes. She liked to paint and plant flowers, fish and play cards. I don't think she ever got over the loss of June Boy in June, 1940. From all I've ever heard they were great friends and it was a terrible blow to all who knew him. It is very comforting to me to think of them finding one another after her death so unexpected in 1983.

All Saints is one of my favorite church services of the liturgical year. I look forward to this coming Sunday as a time to remember my mother, the uncle i never knew, and their parents, the best grandparents ever. Before that we'll go to Casa Ramirez and look at the altars others made this year and hear their memories. October is a wonderful month, but a bit on the melancholy side. And that's okay. Remembering fondly and respecting our relatives is a fine tradition.

Does your community celebrate the memory of loved ones this way?

We have a winner.

Hello, friends, I hope your week is off to a good start.

If there is a contest for best $2.00 purchase, it seems like I'm a shoo in. Since putting a small rug from a yard sale in front of the door, it has been occupied non-stop. As evidence:

Three's company.

Mother and daughter, although you'd never guess it.

Another threesome.

And then there were four.

It looks as if it's all paws up in favor of this inexpensive buy. How nice to be able to bring home something so satisfying with barely a dent in the wallet!

Have you found thrifty items that even exceeded your own expectations once you got them home?

I spent the morning running errands and doing other chores. By the time lunch was past and I'd done this:
my brain was too tired to think of anything to blog about. Mr. B will be thrilled with pie and cookies when he gets home from teaching his class. That's an apple pie. I thought the fruit would cook down more, but it's pretty tall still.

See you tomorrow,

Dressing up

Hello, all,

I hope your Friday is as beautiful as it is here today!

This morning a horrible chore was tackled, cleaning out my closet. Ugh! It isn't that small for an old house, yet something about how the door is positioned makes it hard to get in and out of. When you factor in cats who think it's a great place to choose for a snooze, it can get ugly fast. In the midst of sorting and organizing I came across a hanger full of things that seemed could be better housed elsewhere. It contained an assortment of dresser scarves. Why people used to dress up their dressers and bureau tops is a bit of a mystery, but there is no doubt a lot of time and effort was expended through the years to this end, resulting in some beautiful pieces. Here are a few:

I have several others, but they are white on white and it's not easy to see the detail in pictures.
This one feels vaguely Swedish to me, for some reason. I like the ball fringe on the edges. It often gets put out in January, after the holidays are over.
This cheerful floral one can make an appearance when Spring comes.
This is one most often put out in December. The red flowers remind me of poinsettias. Right now we have:
This is where they're utilized, on my religious table in the living room, like a runner.

Do you keep a lookout for these archaic, but still delightful pieces, too? If so, happy hunting!

Have a great weekend,

Deals and Steals

Hello, folks,

A friend of mine used to call this day "Friday Eve", so may it be a good one for all those still working and straining towards the weekend.

Here are a few recent purchases:
A vintage tin box and one like a bus, two striped mats for the pair of us, a Boston mug and a Christmas tray, some glittery greens for a holiday spray. A magnifying glass and a floaty red shirt that will go with a skirt, already owned-wait, who is that checking stuff out? Freddie the cat!
Oops, I knew something didn't get in that picture. This cute pail was impossible to resist for .99 cents, ditto the new, unopened roll of cork for $1.99.

Last, this isn't a new purchase, but I figured out how to display these plates:

They won't fit in the little wooden cupboard with the others, but can sit in a black holder with a curly design and fleu de lis right next to it.

That's my story for the past few days; what's yours?

A bit of outdoor whimsey

Hello, peeps,

I hope your Tuesday is going well so far. It's lovely here today.

I thought I'd share a bit of back door color with you.
I strung this up to give a little color and distraction from this area, which features trash and recycle bins, Mr. B's barbecue pit and ugly concrete steps. This is papel picado, which came from here: http://houston.culturemap.com/guide/shops/casa-ramirez/., located near us. We attend events there several times each year, in addition to regular trips to shop.

Monday Mini

Hi, Friends,

I hope your week is off to a good start. I've been mildly productive so far, may it be  the start of a trend. What isn't good? Freddie the cat has decided the best place to sleep is on my laptop keyboard. So far that has meant the loss of the 0 key, not to mention when I got in here a few minutes ago he had started a Google search on 0, had something being narrated aloud, the task manager open and another screen I've never seen before up. Bad Freddie!

Here is a very minor effort:
 One rusty spring picked up from the street while out walking
used as a handy little stand, possibly the easiest upcycle in history!

Not much, but remember, Freddie is keeping me way busier than I want to be!

Have a good evening!

Under Construction

Hello, are you all TGIF this afternoon? I thought I'd get a head start on my Days of the Dead altar today. Except. . . there is no memory in my tired old brain to remind me where the things used last year were put away. Nope, not an inkling. Therefore, until that surfaces, we are stuck with this:
 Wish me luck on my mental journey to 2012 and the location of the other pictures and items. Meanwhile, color me embarrassed.

Have a wonderful weekend!

October 17, 2013

Always useful

Hi, friends,

How are you this lovely October afternoon? Doing well, I hope.

This is a quick and dirty post, to experiment with trying something out. Before we got the cabinet and hutch, all our plates were on the counter. Since they're stashed in it now, there was a plate holder without a purpose. I shifted things around on top of the chest where the wine glasses are and came up with this:
 It offers a place to put the new bird set, plus get a stack of salad/dessert size out of an upper cupboard where they're hard for me to reach. It takes up some of Mr. B's wine bottle real estate, but there's still plenty of room for the glasses, corkscrew and stoppers. It's always useful when you can reorganize and make better use of very limited space, so this may be worth a few days trial, at least.

Do you shift things around endlessly, looking for the perfect solution? More importantly, have you figured it out? If so, we need to talk!

Till next time,

October 16, 2013

How cute is this?

Hi, everyone,

As you may know, I sell books on Amazon and ebay. It's time to think about the holidays, so I dug out a darling Advent  calendar picked up at Sand Dollar ages ago.
Although it has a cover like a regular book, it actually unfolds to present the story and offer the windows to open each day:
This woodland bestiary by Marie Angel is a delight of rich colors and engaging scenes.
The pictures behind each door are adorable, too.
The animals find this perfect tree, which sparks their idea to take it into the village.
This is a charming way to count down the days till December 25th. A small child would find endless fascinating details of the animals, birds and their adventure of festive fun.

Do you have someone who would enjoy this richly detailed but simple account of the animals' celebration?

Take it easy,

October 15, 2013

It's the little things . . .

that make me fear for my sanity sometimes. We have a lamp on the buffet in the dining room and one on the counter in the kitchen. For ages they have been thus:
Why did it take me so long to realize the proportions were wrong on both lamps?
Much better switched around! A friend of mine used to say her husband was "dirt blind". It looks like for a while there was a case of "shade blind" going on at our house. Again, sometimes it is the little things that make a big difference.

Have a good one!

October 14, 2013

A New Week--Eek!

Hello, Peeps,

How can it be Monday again? It was Friday, looking ahead to the weekend and what? Did a blink make me miss 48 hours? I hope yours was pleasant. We had some lovely rain and Mr. B got his car back, better than ever after a fender bender the week before. That constitutes lots of excitement here in Geezerville.

Last week I picked up some cheerful, folk-art look plates at Family Thrift. They are not in perfect condition, and there is no maker name on the back, but the pattern is nice and the price great, $1.91 for four.
The colorful bird in the center is sure to be a hit with Mr. B, the birder. The table has a plain white runner instead of a cloth this time.
Here is a view  from one end. With it are yellow napkins with silver rings, blue goblets and the silver plate from Mr. B's parents.
There are sterling salt and pepper shakers from a yard sale, glass candlesticks and the Mercury glass bowl found recently at a thrift shop.
From the other end.
In the middle.
Here is a close up of the design on the plates, pretty charming, don't you think? Rest assured, I'm aware that this is a puny effort compared to the Gold Standard of table settings, like the ones my friend Tricia at The Dull and the Dutiful http://thtolbert.blogspot.com/dazzles the blogosphere with, but this is the baby step of a beginner, remember. One who hopes someday to have sufficient room to add to  her stash of dishes and move on to more impressive offerings.

Bits and scraps

Hello, again,

Do you all save bits and pieces and scraps and leftover odds and ends? I do, totally against the advice of the clean house/non-clutter/how to stage people. Their points are clear and easy to understand, except. .  . I really do use stuff over again. While in the process of trying to wrap a gift or set up a vignette or frame something the memory of that small piece of ribbon/fancy border from a calendar/bright green envelope would be exactly the right touch to ramp up the present, presentation or display. It leaves me feeling vaguely guilty much of the time, yet triumphant when the odd bit is just the extra oomph needed to make a project special. How do you all cope with these warring, persistent themes?

Color me confused.

October 9, 2013

One of a kind

Hi, folks, how's it going halfway through this week so far?

One of a kind certainly describes this item, bought at the local Sand Dollar.
It is a handmade coat in a toddler size, made out of a vintage quilt. Here is a picture of the hood:
It was half off the marked price  of $2.92. That's what people who never go to thrift shops or yard sales don't understand, that it's the thrill of finding things that are utterly unique. A friend of mine who only shops retail once argued that if I won the lottery, then I'd never have to darken the doors of Value Village or the Salvation Army again. She didn't get the thrill of the hunt aspect of thrifting, that the surprise of what might be out there is what makes it fun. No trip to the mall can compare to stumbling upon an item like this little coat. Of course, all the people who turn up their noses at such behavior leave more goodies for the rest of us to find; there is  that to gloat over.

I hope your excursions have found you lots of wonderful treasures.

Till next time,

Partial to red? Who said?

Hi, all,

Today I was contemplating color. Red is my favorite, although surely no one who came to our house would ever guess that--would they?
Just because there's a clock in the kitchen
and a dish drainer too
a kettle
a stove and a tray
coats, scarves and hats all out on display;
a sturdy floor lamp
and a big glass vase
a home for a saint
a can for laundry with bright red paint;
a handmade rose as a teapot top
and vintage pyrex that makes a pop.

Problem? There isn't a problem. I can quit. Why, any day now there may be something in that color in a thrift shop that I walk right past. Addiction is such an ugly word! Do you have a shade you can't resist?

Till next time,

Man Trashes Hotel Room Over Lack of Toilet Paper

CBS Charlotte: One man made sure a Charlotte motel was going to pay for him running out of toilet paper.

Upset about the lack of toilet paper that was available in his room, a man destroyed $2,090 worth of hotel property on Monday, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report. The identity of the man remains unknown.

The incident, which happened at the Charlottetown Manor, happened around 10 a.m. Monday. According to the report, the man grew irate after learning he didn’t have toilet paper and proceeded to walk upstairs to a vacant room that was being renovated. Upon entering the room, he proceeded to clog the toilet, causing water damage to the room, totaling about $2,000 in carpet and ceiling charges.

The man would go on to break a blow dryer and several lights, accounting for an extra $90 in charges.

The suspect returned to his room and damaged more property using physical force, according to the report.

The suspect faces vandalism charges.

Learning something new everyday!

Listening to my heart

Two of the best things about my job….

1. Working with young learners
2. Being a lifelong learner

It seems that I always have a large pile of professional readings that are reaffirming or challenging my beliefs about my practice. I am continually inspired by others in my profession and am so thankful for my PLN on social media, but this summer my readings have brought me to a quiet, peaceful sence of right. Yes, I'm inspired, excited, and nervous about the start of the new year, but I also have a newly found strength in my passion for the Reggio Emilia approach.
My current reading list
My newest readings
I have been listening to colleagues, Charles Jungclaus, Niki Leech and Sandra Succamore who last year took part in the "Self Regulation Series" in my district and I read Calm Alert and Learning by Stuart Shanker. Through these, I have  a greater awareness of the role of the environment on learning. In fact, Loris Malaguzzi, states that the environment is the third teacher.

The common thread in all of these readings and works is the emphasis on quieting the environment and providing real, quality and natural items and tools for student use. The more I think about this and understand the philosophy behind it, the more I know in my heart it is right. When I look around my home I see a neutral calm grey on the walls and signs of nature in the plants, sticks, tree, wood, stone and fabrics. Why then is my classroom full of bright colours everywhere? Colourful borders on bright papered walls that interferes with student artwork, some store bought teaching materials and lots of plastic containers and materials. I need to quiet the classroom environment and turn to nature and natural items where possible.

The Reggio approach speaks about strengthening children's connections to the natural and local environment partly by the relationship created with the materials we choose in the classroom (stones, pine cones, shells, sticks, water, sand, light...). Another part of the Reggio philosophy is based on the strength of using loose parts for children's play and art. These items such as stones, gems, buttons, petals are more open ended and provide for greater children's creativity than some of the more commonly purchased materials that are geared for a specific use.

Sooooo... my goal, (as soon as I can get back into my classroom), is to edit. I plan on taking down my colourful borders, paper and commercial materials and leave the neutral boards for displaying student work and documentation. I plan on
  • Editing the materials on the shelves (thankfully I have some storage room at home) to make space. Empty shelf space for the creations students make. Having a space for them highlights the importance of student's work.
  • Paring down the materials that are out at a time to make more space to move and collaborate.
  • Replacing plastic bins with wicker and wood
  • Switching some plastic manipulatives to natural loose parts
  • Making some quiet independent spaces as well as large, collaborative spaces

I intend to teach through play based inquiry. I will set up some provocations and observe and listen to students through their use of and play with the materials. I will follow their interests and strengths and challenge them where they are at. I have many possibilities of where we might go in our studies mapped out on paper as this is somewhat new for me, but I intend to teach the curriculum through the children's emerging interests. Yes, I will still directly teach guided reading, writing and numeracy concepts. No, I will not teach thematic units laid out by me in advance as in previous years. I know the big ideas in the curriculum and will incorporate them into our inquiries, provocations and daily explorations.

This will be the most difficult task for me, I anticipate, because I plan on taking a large amount of time at the beginning of our year to listen, observe, and record what I see. I usually rush to get formal assessments done and start implementing my plans, but now I want to slow down and truly know my students first. I understand this will take time and knowing my own strengths are not in going slow as I tend to rush, this will be difficult. Yes I will still do formal evaluations to individualize student learning, I just don't want to rush into this. Possibly this will be easier because I am likely rolling over some of my students from last year in a 1-2 combined class.

My heart says these are good things and I am listening!

In preparation for the coming year, I have amassed more than a collection of reading. I have jars of sticks and stones and gems, flowers and leaves and petals pressing in my children's heaviest books, baskets of pinecones, and plants newly divided and planted ready for the love and attention of little hands. My family and friends have also been helping me in this endeavour. My husband has cut logs and drift wood for building blocks, made shelves and a light table, Hilary found some much coveted wooden bowls at a local yard sale, grandparents have donated baskets, fabric, jars, wood, and tiles. While this is an exciting start, I plan to have the children begin our collection with found treasures of their own and then add some of mine as needed.

Now, I am anxious to hear your thoughts and get into my room to begin!

Survival Frog:Tactical Pen Knife

The Government HATES This Pen!!
Plus, How They're Trying To Keep You From Owning It!

See Exactly What's Inside This Pen
Plus How to Get It For 67% Off the Regular Price

For the past couple years I've watched in horror as hundreds of Americans have died senselessly at the hands of terrorists and criminals.

Every time a new attack is covered on the news it pains me to see how many times people perished, often times in gun-free zones, without any way to defend themselves.

Since we're being stripped of our constitutional right to defend ourselves on a daily basis my team and I wanted to create something you could take with you just about anywhere that could help save your life.

It's the Survival Strike Pen.

Introducing The Survival Strike Pen

The reasons you'll love the Survival Strike Pen are simple.

Though it looks ordinary, this amazing pen is anything but normal. Heck, for that matter it's no ordinary tactical pen either...

When your pen first arrives at your house I predict it will quickly become one of your favorite writing instruments.

Its elegant styling cues and luxurious finishes make the pen, and the person using it, look like a million bucks.

That's because the Survival Strike Pen was created using classic design elements harkening back to a time when the way a pen was designed said something about the person who used it...

Perfectly balanced, the Survival Strike Pen's lightweight, aircraft grade aluminum construction makes it feel like a natural extension of your hand.

And since it uses a classic ink roller-ball design you can count on it to dutifully create grocery lists, sign checks, fill out forms and more.

Not to mention the fact it barely weighs anything (only .6 oz.), so you'll never get annoyed with its bulk or weight.

But in all seriousness none of the reasons above are the main reason you're going to use this pen daily.

Truthfully, if you wanted a lightweight and great-looking pen you have your choice of thousands of other pens to choose from.

But the obvious reason the Survival Strike Pen will become your favorite everyday carry is because hidden inside this luxurious pen's glossy metallic barrel is a vicious survival tool.

A tool so savage, so deadly it could end a violent attack in seconds...and has already attracted the government's attention.

Please take a look at what's inside.

The Deadly Weapon Hidden In The Survival Strike Pen

Inside of the Survival Strike Pen is an incredibly sharp 2 1/2 inch serrated blade.

2 1/2 inches might not sound like a lot but it's the perfect size to mortally wound a violent attacker while small enough to fit stealthily inside of a pocket or a purse.

Best of, all the the Survival Strike Pen is quite easy to use.

To reveal the blade simply pull the end cap off of your pen and you're now ready to defend yourself with this razor sharp blade.

Simple right?

And while I'm sure you'll agree the Survival Strike Pen is a brilliant item to own for self defense it's actually much more versatile than that.

The sturdy steel blade and deep serrated teeth make it perfect for a variety of other daily/survival uses.

In reality, anything you'd use as a regular pocket knife, you can use the Survival Strike Pen for. It's for that reason I keep a few spares in my survival kit and glove box.

Fact is, the Survival Strike Pen is so dang useful and so scarily effective for self-defense the government has already banned it in 2 states.

Banned In 2 States?

Curious if your State is banned?

Just click the Big Orange Button to see which 2 states have outlawed this life saving pen.

And while the Survival Strike Pen's hidden blade is the #1 reason you'll love this amazing self defense's not the only reason to love it.

In fact I've totaled up to 5 more.

5 Amazing Reasons To Love The Survival Strike Pen

The simple fact a 2 1/2 inch steel blade is hidden inside of our Survival Strike Pen should be enough.

It truly is one of the coolest and most unique survival tools on the market.

However those aren't the only reasons to love it...

  • Ultra Lightweight: Even though the Survival Strike Pen contains a burly survival blade inside it only weighs in at a mere 0.6 oz. Good luck finding a lighter survival weapon! Carry it comfortably all day, everyday without a second thought!
  • Works In Any Condition: Both the pen and the knife will work in any condition. The pen uses a gravity defying ink ball to write sideways, upside down and in the worst weather. Since the knife is a fixed blade you can use it with ease. Stab, poke, and cut with zero worries.
  • Incredibly Durable: Made out of incredibly tough aircraft aluminum the Survival Strike Pen will withstand tons and tons of abuse. Remember, your decision to own this pen is truly an investment in your survival. The good news is the pen's advanced construction will protect your investment as long as you live.
  • Easy to Use: If you're ever forced to use your knife in a disaster you won't need to worry about working with an overly complicated survival tool. Just pull the cap off, place it on the back and your knife is ready to go. This is as simple as it gets which is of vital importance in high-stress survival situations.
  • Super Discreet: Take this pen knife with you almost anywhere! Because it looks like a regular inkpen no one will know it's actually a savage survival knife capable of ending an attack in an instant. Carry it with you almost anywhere for peace of mind and total protection. Probably not a big surprise, but this pen is not TSA approved.

As you can see a decision to carry the Survival Strike Pen makes sense on so many levels.

You're always going to need a pen...

And when you consider how much more dangerous our world is becoming you know you absolutely need a self defense tool that you can carry with you at all times.

And that's why this pen is perfect for you!

But don't just take my word for it!

Complaint / review / scam report
Worst online retailer ever

Every time I order something online from TAKEALOT there is always some kind of problem with either my order, the delivery or the product itself. For example: I order a lot of video games and video game related goods from TAKEALOT. Particularly for the PlayStation 3. Whenever I order something from TAKEALOT there is usually a problem such as them sending me the wrong codes, being late with sending me the codes, or video games where some items are missing from the package (such as the online pass or pre-order bonus DLC). Other problems include sending me damaged goods, or my deliveries being late or not even going through due to some glitch in their system. Every time I order from TAKEALOT there is always a problem with my order/delivery/goods and I'm sick of this nonsense.
