The independent skate DVD market is a lonely path to walk and anyone who decides to take it deserves your attention. I first heard about Skate Sauce via the odd internet clip or online forum post and my initial thought was that it sold skate wax. To be honest that’s not something I’m going to rush to the skateshop for and tell all my friends about when their DVD drops. However, I was wrong. It turns out that Skate Sauce is a skater-run operation that focuses on documenting, editing and producing skate videos and other media projects. The main man behind the viewfinder is Amrit Jain, a name that rang a bell, as he was one of the first filmers behind The Berrics video streams. Skate Sauce was launched in 2009 and Amrit took his little black book of Los Angeles skaters and international contacts to get to work on a video project by the homies for the homies: Hard Times But Good Times.
HTGT reminds me of those early Tim Dowling or Daryl Grogan videos (Listen, Time Lapse) that focused on local Southern California scenes that mixed unsung heroes with the era’s poster boys. I might be wrong but there is a definite 90s-00s influence to this video with it’s focus of flat ground lines and ledge skating set to a soundtrack of Soul, Jazz and Rap beats. The modern take on afternoons spent on UCLA’s campus are evening sessions filmed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona (MACBA). Amrit obviously spent a while in Spain and built a bridge back home with his camera and enthusiasm. The lesser-known talent of Justin Guillen (last part), Brett Sube and Matt Gottwig is matched with headline acts like Tom Penny and Vincent Alvarez. There is also a re-birth of San Diego pride with footage Shorties team riders and Skate Mafia alumni. Sammy Baptista, Jesse Siley and Peter Smolik share runtime with Jaime Palmore, Jimmy Cao and Wes Kremer amongst others.
With such a wide range of riders on show and the loose editing style that blends chill lines with chill beats, I think HTGT would best be viewed on loop at the skateshop or after a long day in the streets at home with a brew or a buzz. Trying to digest the full 60 minutes before going skating could have the opposite effect and make you drowsy. If you’re looking for a quick fix, I suggest you enjoy the 7 minute opening section from Vincent Alvarez who rushes into spots at ambidextrous high velocity. Or Julien Guillen’s last part which showcases his technical skills and ability to skate anywhere with style and confidence (Note the bonus game of S.K.A.T.E. where he takes Jesus Fernandez to the edge). Tom Penny skates Barcelona asleep at the wheel and despite being exclusive footage of the legendary Brit, you kind of feel like you’re watching a pro on holiday in other words don’t expect any major stunt work.
If you are a fan of 90s-00s era skating and keen to keep up to date with the latest Southern California (and MACBA) talent then this video is for you. If you prefer something with a bit more pace and thrills then I suggest you take a look and move on. However, I must accentuate that Amrit Jain and the Skate Sauce crew have done really well in producing and putting out an independent skate video when the market trend would advise heavily against such a heartfelt move.

9 Incarnate is available through the publisher, Amazon, BarnesandNoble, and has been listed in Goodreads.
In 9 INCARNATE, Egypt’s great gods and goddesses arrive by comet bringing hope of unity and secrets of the pyramids. However, the beloved Isis isn’t among the Arrivals and preternatural investigator Caitlin Diggs begins hearing the goddess in her head. Could Diggs’s previous exposure to a crystal artifact substantiate the belief that Isis has stored her essence on Earth and consequently now shares her human body?
Perplexed, Diggs turns to a scientist to explain the Arrivals, not to mention the weirdness which includes a coinciding mass disappearance and assassination of the president. Diggs surmises the deities may be preparing a new Egypt until a lethal threat of global warming emerges. More perplexing, is her co-alignment with Isis an alliance or hindrance? Diggs may have to make the ultimate sacrifice if she is to keep Egypt’s past from ending Earth’s future, and all the while maintain her integrity.
Here are the author’s suggestions of discussion questions for your book club.
1 – Why do you think Caitlin identifies her job as an FBI agent as a relationship?
2 – Is it fair that Caitlin equates accusations against demons as racism?
3 – Is Caitlin’s secret jeopardizing her ability to be an honest person?
4 – What does the sudden infestation of Egyptian star cluster plants represent for Caitlin?
5 – When Caitlin sees through Briana’s eyes, do you consider it a personal invasion?
6 – What might the bubble symbolize regarding the gods’ return?
7 – If gods returned, how could they prove their identity?
8 – Is Caitlin more sympathetic than the alternate Caitlin? Chuck notes the Caitlin of the past was more concerned with the masses than individuals?
9 – Briana’s guilt is triggered when she unwittingly aids the gods’ return. Was she responsible for the child’s death?
10 – Can we be in two places at once like Isis is said to have been? Is there truth in non-locality posited by theoretical science?
11- Charlize’s accepts her abilities as a duty whereas Caitlin still questions her link with Isis. Is Caitlin too independent for her own good?
12- Claude Brahms is desperate to have a normal relationship with his genetically-created daughter. Are the teen’s differences too great for such a relationship to ever exist?
13 – Why does Brahms have such a hard time classifying the gods’ feats as magic?
14 – Can our thoughts actually affect our environment as in Brahms’ water experiment?
15 – Was Caitlin’s sacrifice, remaining dormant in Isis in ancient Egypt, a noble one?
16 – Can Caitlin – the clone – retain the same morality and personality as the original?
Gary Starta is a former journalist who plunged into creative writing in 2004. Since then he has written 13 novels including the Caitlin Diggs books: Demon Inhibitions and 9 Incarnate.

In some ways I still feel like I’m recovering from being on antibiotics for most of last week. I’ve forgotten, or happily blanked out, how unhappy they can make my insides killing off all the good bacteria too and I think things are still trying to get back to normal. To accelerate that process, I’ve been increasing my intake of probiotics by using Garden or Life’s Raw Protein in my smoothies this week.
One serving has 17 grams of protein per serving, 33% of a recommended daily intake according to their site, while being low carb. And it also has live probiotics and enzymes to help the digestion area. It’s in a very fine powder form that blends smoothly into smoothies.
It does not have a lot of flavor since it’s not flavored or sweetened, but it blended beautifully with frozen banana chunks, frozen berries, carrots, cacao powder, and sprouted lentils for a filling, chocolate breakfast smoothie this morning.
I have noticed it’s much easier on my stomach compared to raw hemp protein and a nice, mellow way to start the day. Plus it’s cheaper than other raw vegan protein powders which makes me happy too.
Friday is almost here and it was another crazy and long day at work. Since I was flying solo for dinner tonight, I decided to have chocolate for dinner. Why not?
Well, in the form of another nutrient-dense raw dessert ball recipe I created.
Place pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, chia seeds, salt, and cacao powder into a food processor. Processor to a powder-like texture. While food processor is running, feed in the pitted dates and liquid stevia and process until mixture is doughy. Roll dough into bite-sized balls and chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 minute. Enjoy! Makes 20-40 balls depending on size.
I’m having so much fun with NuNaturals Pure Liquid Orange NuStevia, a little bit goes a long way for flavor!
The mixture gets very doughy after being processed for a few minutes practically turning into one big chocolate blob of yum.
And it was a fabulously energizing pick-me-up dinner. :-) The balls have a hint of orange flavor that’s not too strong and perfect for summer while the chia seeds add a satisfying crunchy texture to them. But they’re still very moist, chewy, and rich, like a dense, flour-less chocolate cake.
I adore making big batches or raw dessert balls to store in the freezer, they’re great straight from the freezer and make an easily accessible dessert or snack for an emergency chocolate craving.
Sorry Miko, no chocolate for you!
These are a great use for the orange stevia and I really like it in smoothies too, adds a nice summery citrus flavor.
I really love to make dessert balls like that (there’s no way to say balls without sounding dirty, so I apologize). They really are so convenient!
I don’t have orange stevia. What are good substitions? How about half a peeled orange? Would it make too runny?
Hi Tiffany, about a teaspoon of orange zest would be a good substitution adding strong orange flavor without the liquid.
I have to get back into my NuNaturals! I have so much stuff but haven’t been using it! Eeeek!
I’ve been ordering the NuNaturals powdered stevia from Amazon lately, great in coffee and smoothies.

A British MP has been suspended by Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party for leaving work to take part in a reality television show in the Australian jungle.
Nadine Dorries, 55, flew to Brisbane in preparation for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, in which contestants are forced to endure physical ordeals such as eating tarantulas and kangaroo testicles.
The program runs for three weeks from Sunday. Though parliament has next week off, it returns on November 18 and she is due to miss votes in the lower House of Commons.
A Conservative Party spokesman said that Chief Whip George Young, who is in charge of party discipline, has suspended the whip from Nadine Dorries. He will have an urgent meeting with her when she gets back.
"The concern is that she will not be doing parliamentary or constituency business in the meantime."
Other Conservative MPs and people in her constituency had expressed concerns about her taking part in the show.
Ms Dorries had earlier defended her decision to take part in the show.
"I'm doing the show because 16 million people watch it. Rather than MPs talking to other MPs about issues in parliament, I think MPs should be going to where people go," the Daily Mail newspaper quoted Ms Dorries as saying.
Asked whether she feared a backlash for abandoning her post, she said: "I worked right up until I left the UK for Australia."
Outspoken Ms Dorries, who represents Mid Bedfordshire in southeast England, is not a favourite of Mr Cameron's, having called him and finance minister George Osborne "two posh boys who don't know the price of milk".
Mr Cameron had to apologise to Ms Dorries last year after describing her as "extremely frustrated" during a parliamentary exchange.
On the show, Ms Dorries will be sleeping under the stars with former soap actors, sportsmen and entertainers. Besides a rumoured appearance fee of $60,000, the show has also been seen by celebrities as a useful way to boost a flagging public profile.
Dorries earns more than $100,000 as an MP.
Now in its 12th series, previous winners of I'm a Celebrity include former prime minister Margaret Thatcher's daughter Carol and ex-England cricketer Phil Tufnell.
Left-wing firebrand George Galloway, who runs his own Respect Party having been expelled from the Labour party, is the only serving MP to have taken part in a reality television show.
Six years ago he appeared in Celebrity Big Brother, in which he had to do robotics in a lycra outfit and impersonate a cat lapping up imaginary milk.

According to Sally and Martin Stone in The Brilliant Bean, most dried beans double in volume and weight after being soaked and cooked. Soybeans and chickpeas can triple.
"As a general rule, 1 cup (8oz) of dried beans increases to 2 to 2½ c (1 to 1¼ lb) of cooked beans. One cup of dried beans is usually enough to serve four as a side dish."
The day before you are going to make the stew, sort (to remove stones) and wash the black beans (also called turtle beans) well. Place them in a bowl large enough for the beans to triple. Add plenty of cold water - the beans will expand - add a little more water than you think is necessary. Cover the bowl and leave to soak overnight.
On the day you are going to make the stew, remove any beans that are floating. Drain and rinse the beans. Discard the soaking water. Put the drained beans in a big pot and cover with fresh cold water. DO NOT ADD SALT. Bring to a boil. Immediately turn down to a low simmer. Simmer 1 to 2 hours partially covered. After an hour of cooking, check to see if beans are the consistancy (in terms of softness) you like. If not, simmer a little longer. When they are the right consistancy, add salt. This stops the beans from getting much softer.
Add corned beef cubes, bay leaf, oregano, garlic, some salt and one chopped onion. Simmer at least 2 more hours.
Take out 1 c. beans and mash into a paste. Return the mashed beans to the pot.
Saute 2 onions in lots of corn oil. Add those with the spices to the pot. Simmer another ½ hour or more. Serve over rice. Garnish with coriander leaves.
* When we haven't had any corned beef, we have used cubed ham instead and added ground nutmeg and cloves to the stew.

I have just been watching the World Athletics Championships, that are being held in Berlin, the same stadium where Jessie Owens smashed the white hype that they are faster, stronger and smarter.
Whites realizing that they are neither faster nor stronger, quickly smartened up and agreed as a society not to accept black original thought except that concerning race relations, and protest thought. This they do through the control of their media, their journals, any original black thought is just shut out, they know they are not smarter, but when desiring to rule the world they must insist all original knowledge comes from them, otherwise they will lose control of their carefully structured lies.
If it was not for black researchers would we ever hear about black inventors, no, it is not for white interest, though it is for global interests. What is good for the world obviously is not good for white people because they want to control the world.
Think about it, I should write a full article on this. Jessie Owens, Joe Louis, see you can’t cheat on that you are beaten you are beaten, but smarter, you just don’t publish original thought from blacks, that way they feel comfortable.

Our service offering means that we will take care of everything you need - Estonian company formation with cryptocurrency exchange & wallet licences and a bank account.
Estonian company. You got it!
The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act stipulates that providing services of the exchange of virtual currency or custodial wallet services requires an authorization.
In order to get a cryptocurrency exchange licence, an application must be filed to the Register of Economic Activities. The application must be supported by required documents and information. As a rule, the Financial Intelligence Unit will provide the authorization within 30 days from receiving all necessary documents.
Upon receiving the abovementioned licences the company is subject to the The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act and shall therefore comply with the requirements set forth in the Act. Most importantly, the company will be responsible for the implementation of certain activities.
The only bank in Estonia dealing with cryptocurrency businesses, has stated that they are only willing to open accounts for cryptocurrency businesses that are already operating. However, we do cooperate with an international payment service provider that is willing to open accounts for Estonian companies involved in crypto activities.
At the moment, activities with cryptocurrencies, including tokens, are not subject to VAT; the goods, and services purchased/related to the mining are not entitled to deduct input tax.
The Estonian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) is of opinion that tokens, depending on their structure, might be considered as securities according to the definition set forth in the current Securities Market Act (SMA) as well as in the Law of Obligations Act (LOA). In assessing whether or not securities laws apply, the EFSA states that substance should be considered over form.

Addressing the price of prescription drugs is a bit like a game my grandchildren play called Jenga. The challenge is to remove and stack oblong blocks of wood on a single tower. It may look easy at first, but pretty soon you’re struggling to find a way to remove pieces without sending the whole thing crashing down. Add in the onlookers constantly shouting out suggestions over your shoulder and you have a pretty good representation of what it feels like to be a health care policymaker.
Overall, I see the plan as a mixed bag. It does address some areas in need of fixing, but it also falls far short of the president’s lofty campaign promises. To close observers of health care and drug pricing, it’s no surprise that this first effort is so limited. Balancing so many different interests is incredibly difficult, and it’s probably right to be cautious when entering this complex arena.
Featured in the plan and a subsequent Request-for-Information are proposals to change the 340B drug discount program and build on the destructive cuts implemented by the administration in January of this year. The 340B drug program was established to provide some relief for the neediest patients, but has caused divisions between hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. As I have written previously, I oppose these cuts and have significant concerns about the impact on the nation’s safety net. The president’s plan also addresses incentives in the system that may contribute to higher prices, questioning pharmacy benefit manager and plan contracts. This is an issue of interest to specialty pharmacists and others who have struggled in the current system to provide essential services to patients with complex, serious, disabling, and life-threatening medical conditions.
Despite these concrete provisions, many observers were quick to point out that the plan bore little resemblance to candidate Trump’s campaign promises. While he did make some good suggestions during the campaign that are worth exploring, now that he holds office, no seasoned health care observer should be surprised that the president didn’t propose everything in one go. Secretary Azar has made it clear that drug pricing is still a work in progress, and that this plan will take a lot of work to move forward with short- and longer-term efforts. It wasn’t intended to be a catch-all solution.
Still, there is useful information to be gleaned about Trump’s vision for the future of drug pricing. Although he is now taking a much softer tone toward pharmaceutical companies than he did during the campaign, there are still some groundbreaking proposals for transparency and accountability in his plan. Trump clearly hopes to introduce some level of increased transparency during his term.
In an election year, movement on many of these proposals is a challenge within Congress. We can expect the agencies will continue to issue their own regulatory proposals for consideration in the months leading up to the election. As more information becomes available, we must examine the effects of the proposed changes and whether and how they truly improve upon our current system for patients and families.

The structure of city government in Texas is founded on the premise that each local community knows how to best run their own affairs. Consequently, Texas State Law (Article XI, Section 5) promotes local autonomy by providing that any city with a population of more than 5,000 may adopt a home rule charter.
Home rule cities look to the state constitution and statutes to determine what they are unable to do. If an action is not prohibited or preempted by the state, the home rule city can, as a rule, proceed with the action. Although charters bolster local power, they cannot conflict with the state’s constitution or any statutes in place prior to the charter’s adoption.
The City of Kennedale drafted a home rule charter in 1997, and it was adopted by voters on January 17, 1998. This charter establishes a Council-Manager form of government, authorizing City Council to enact legislation, approve and adopt budgets, determine policies, and appoint a City Manager. The charter has since been amended once (Election: May 16, 2016).
A city's charter is the document that defines the organization, powers, functions and essential procedures of the city government. It is comparable to the U.S. Constitution. The charter is the most important legal document of any city. Other local laws are found in the Code of Ordinances.
When a city operates under a charter, they're said to be a 'home rule city'. These cities can take any actions which are not prohibited by the state or federal laws and the constitution of U.S. and Texas. Home rule cities are not burdened by the limitations of Dillon’s Rule, which is a doctrine that says that a unit of local government may exercise only those powers that the state expressly grants to it.
Kennedale's original charter was written in 1997 and adopted in 1998. It has been amended once, in the May 2016 election. You can view the ballot language from that election here. All propositions passed, with the exception of Proposition 4 (four), which would have extended City Council's terms from two years to three.
Appointed by the City Council, the City Manager is the chief executive officer of the city, and is responsible for the overall management of daily operations. These responsibilities include the execution of laws and governmental administration of city operations and functions. The City Manager is responsible for appointing all department heads, with the exception of the City Secretary and the City Attorney, who are directly appointed by the City Council. Only a candidate recommended by the City Manager may be appointed by Council as City Secretary. There is no such requirement for the City Attorney.
The Mayor is responsible for reviewing governmental activities, providing leadership, and making recommendations to Council. The Mayor only votes in the event of a tie. The position does have veto power, but a veto may be overturned by Council vote.
The governing body of the city is known as “The City Council of the City of Kennedale”. Council is composed of one (1) Mayor and five (5) council seats. Council members are elected to two-year terms, by a majority vote from the city at-large. Elections are staggered, with Places 1, 3, and 5 up for election in odd years and the Places of Mayor, 2, and 4 elected in even years.
The City Secretary is appointed by City Council (upon recommendation by the City Manager), and serves as the clerical officer for the City Council by drafting and maintaining meeting minutes, agendas, ordinances, attendance records, and other clerical records of the city and City Council. The City Manager designates additional administrative duties to be performed.
The City Attorney is the legal advisor to the City Council, officials, and staff, and represents the City of Kennedale in all legal proceedings. This position is appointed by the City Council.
The city maintains several boards and commissions (referred to collectively as ‘boards’ for the purposes of this document). These boards are composed of qualified, engaged residents who are relied upon to provide their unique perspectives, insights, experiences, and expertise. These boards augment the knowledge and perspectives of elected officials and staff, making their contributions invaluable to the process of establishing workable, responsive, and effective governance.
The boards established by Council are intended to assist in the pursuit of the “Ends Statement”. Most boards serve in an advisory capacity, working alongside staff to formulate knowledgeable policy recommendations to Council. Other boards serve in a quasi-judicial fashion, with the power to make official decisions and rulings. All board members are vital to our city’s success, and should strive to represent the residents to the best of their ability.

Question C: What is the relationship between the sacraments as acts and as signs?
1. Once the sacraments’ essential character as cooperative acts is clear, one can proceed to clarify several other aspects of their complex reality. For instance, as outward performances, they have a symbolic dimension which will no longer be necessary in heaven (so that, like faith and hope, they will be surpassed).
The sacraments also involve something permanent, insofar as they restore and perfect fallen human persons. Thus, baptism, confirmation, and orders give a permanent character. Penance gives reconciliation, which in principle is meant to last. Anointing prepares the body for resurrection. The Eucharist and matrimony establish loving interpersonal communion which is a beginning of heavenly fulfillment. In all the sacraments, furthermore, we are united with Jesus, drawn from our present unstable situation into his present and lasting glory.
2. Defining the sacraments as signs emphasizes their transient, symbolic dimension, which belongs to them as outward performances. This dimension is generally and correctly said to be important because we humans are bodily and learn by experience, and because the tremendous realities involved in the sacraments would be too great for us without the mediation of symbolism. Therefore, it is said, God kindly provides a simple, sensible sign suited to our condition (see S.t., 3, q. 60, a. 4; q. 61, a. 1).
3. Though perfectly true, this ought not to be misunderstood. As Trent teaches, the sacraments are more than signs of faith; they really contain and confer the grace which they signify. Like the glorified Jesus, whose acts they are, the sacraments are complex realities, and their bodily dimension is not what is most important about them. At the same time, this bodily, symbolic dimension is not a mere means, something extrinsic to their sacred reality. Rather, like the body of Jesus in glory, it is an essential part of the sacraments’ redeeming and sanctifying power.
5. The outward, symbolic dimension of the sacraments is best understood in light of their essential reality as cooperative divine-human acts. Human beings wish to contribute to their own salvation; they wish to do something to be saved. In the sacraments, God makes this possible. Having effected redemption in principle by the Incarnation of the Word, where creation, represented by the humanity of Jesus, cooperates in its own re-creation, God carries redemption through to completion in the sacraments. In these divine-human acts created and fallen persons collaborate with Jesus in their own reconciliation and sanctification.
6. Considering the sacraments as signs, one might paraphrase and expand a familiar definition as follows: A sacrament is a meaningful performance instituted by Jesus to communicate the fruits of his redemptive act to human persons, so that they will receive these fruits as gifts in whose receiving (for themselves) and giving (to others) they can consciously and freely cooperate.
Another analogy might be helpful, one more complex than that of the mother making bread, since both the divine-human cooperation and the symbolic aspect of the sacrament are represented.
Imagine an operating room. A man is undergoing surgery; his blood is being circulated by a heart-lung machine concealed behind a one-way mirror; and he is conscious, since the anesthetic blocks pain only. He has been told to blink his eyes when he begins to feel weakened. When he does so, an attendant who is facing the mirror grimaces. The person in control of the heart-lung machine which is sustaining life then adds a nutrient to the bloodstream. To do this, however, the nutrient must be provided. Some source outside the hospital is responsible for this.
The patient is like the recipient of the sacrament. The attendant who is authorized to signal for more nutrient is like the minister of the sacrament. The person operating the heart-lung machine is like Jesus, who now lives beyond the veil, but still acts to sustain our lives (see Heb 6.19–20). Finally, the source of the nutrient is God. Of course, he also is the source of all the other elements.

Successful management of the coastal environment requires sound knowledge of the biological, chemical, and physical processes governing the growth, retention, dispersion, and transport of water constituents, including plankton. The growing problem posed by the existence of harmful plankton species now demands a thorough understanding of the life histories and population dynamics of these organisms. Without this knowledge, managers can neither assess the impact of anthropogenic activity on the environment and biota, nor understand the relationship between harmful phytoplankton species and the harmful events (commonly referred to as harmful algal blooms [HABs]) caused by them, and climate. Without this understanding, the desirable goals of prediction and mitigation of harmful events are unattainable. A major challenge is to understand the processes governing the population dynamics to a level of detail that allows mathematical formulations that are relatively simple, yet reproduce the salient features of HAB population dynamics.

Improved your oxygen consumption (VO2 max).
Decreased both your heart rate and blood pressure.
Helped you lose that stubborn fat, even belly fat.
Perhaps it sounds too good to be true, but research shows that high intensity interval training can provide all of these benefits, and more.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of cardio that alternates periods of intense exercise with low-intensity recovery periods. Typically the sessions last from 10-30 minutes in duration.
So, how does this look? I always start my clients out on a stationary bike. For the first 45 seconds of every minute I have them pedal at a normal pace. Once the timer hits 45 seconds, they are instructed to sprint.This is the high intensity part. Your heart rate should be between 80-95% of your maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate = 220-your age). If you don’t have a way to monitor your heart rate then just make sure you can’t talk during those last 15 seconds.
Start with a total of 10 minutes and work your way up to 20-30 minutes one to two times a week. While I always start my clients out on the stationary bike, any form of cardio will work. For more info, see https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-of-hiit.

Have you made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, exercise more, or eat better only to feel defeated a month or two later?
Almost nothing can make us more despondent than stepping onto the scale one morning to find that we have gained three pounds overnight. What’s really happening?
You’re under pressure at work or home and the stress is beginning to show. Perhaps you have noticed some weight gain, specifically that bulge around your middle that wasn’t there before. Chronic stress may be one of the culprits.

Integrated risk management (IRM) practices and technology solutions are designed to address an enterprise’s particular ecosystem of risks. Gartner defines integrated risk management (IRM) as “a set of practices and processes supported by a risk-aware culture and enabling technologies that improve decision-making and performance through an integrated view of how well an organization manages its unique sets of risks.” Gartner recently introduced a new Magic Quadrant for IRM, confirming its growing importance as an advanced approach to dealing with ever-changing combinations of cyber, operational, geopolitical, regulatory, legal and financial risks.
The push toward IRM acknowledges that the nature of business has fundamentally changed in recent years. Complexity is a new reality for virtually all types and sizes of businesses that are no longer restricted to the physical walls of a business address. Traditional, manual approaches to identifying and tracking risks (e.g., email, spreadsheets and annual reviews) are woefully insufficient, to the point that they constitute a risk in and of themselves.
The phrase “integrated view” is particularly salient here. Large, distributed global enterprises and SMBs alike urgently need greater degrees of visibility — across departments, locations, supply chains and third parties. Successful IRM programs provide the framework for analyzing internal and external risks and connecting strategic, operational and technology perspectives into a bigger picture.
To better define the rationale for implementing IRM, let’s explore the changes that have made it imperative: digital processes, global business and reliance on third parties.
In the business context, we think of big data, IoT and social media technologies as powerful ways to work faster and smarter, learn more about customers, lower costs, optimize marketing and introduce step changes in efficiency. We should also think of them as risk-makers. Cyberattacks, data theft, accidental data exposure, espionage, social engineering — all risks with a high probability of becoming reality; the fallout is so familiar by now, large companies accept it as a cost of doing business, but that’s not a sustainable solution, no matter your size.
In many sectors — hospitals, medical devices, energy and transportation, for example — cyberattacks increasingly threaten human lives and personal safety, not to mention elections and critical public-sector services. Our critical infrastructure is more vulnerable than ever and can be violated, exploited and compromised in ways that simply weren’t possible before connected networks and digital services became woven into the fabric of society.
Globalized free trade promotes economic growth, lowers prices for consumers and creates a competitive market. While the whole world is your market, your business is also a mark for bad actors all over the globe. You can source materials and components from the best makers on earth — and you can lose control of those makers.
We’ve learned a lot about the downsides of not having an IRM plan in place in the last several years: natural disasters that disrupt supply chains, tariff and trade saber-rattling that creates uncertainty and upends direct materials costs and sourcing and far-reaching regulations like the GDPR that complicate compliance and carry big penalties.
Companies have little control over weather, geopolitics, economic trends and regulatory actions. Firms, however, can control how they identify, assess and mitigate the specific risks that potential events and outcomes create. For example, with IRM, U.S. hospitals could have predicted a shortage of IV fluid bags in the event of a major hurricane in Puerto Rico and made a contingency plan. IRM is needed now more than ever. Digital processes, global business, outsourcing to third parties and more have created a preponderance of new risks that impact organizations to the core.
Outsourcing is how we do business now. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel when specialist services and materials are accessible and affordable. The everything-as-a-service revolution powered by cloud technology innovation has deepened and widened the third-party trend. Because they are so critical to basic business operations — and so directly connected to the primary company’s systems and data — third party services are a central source of risk. Increasing visibility and control vis-à-vis third parties is an integral part of IRM. Through streamlined assessments, continuous monitoring and more, IRM platforms centralize metrics and indicators for a more detailed, encompassing, up-to-date view of risk across the enterprise.
Indeed, managing risk is not just about playing defense, avoiding hazards and securing assets. Risk awareness empowered by more holistic assessments, better metrics and analysis and more integrated risk activities puts companies in the position to make smarter, faster decisions. When an organization has fine-tuned their risk profile and understands their risk appetite, they can jump on opportunities without hesitation. PwC’s 2018 Risk in Review Study highlights the ways leading companies leverage risk management to tackle innovation and growth.
In a world where anything that can go wrong will go wrong, companies have to be proactive about their exposure and how they will recover and remediate quickly when risks turn into real damage. IRM practices offer digitally transformed, global businesses a way to see the big picture, monitor all the moving parts and coordinate enterprise efforts to cover gaps and fortify weak spots. By developing critical awareness and risk management maturity, organizations can do more than navigate challenges — they can strategically build a thriving enterprise.

Max S. Berck was born in Paris, France. He and his wife, Roselle, raised a daughter, Mona, and a son, Ira. Max was a member of the Iowa Retail Clothiers Association and the Lions Club of Ames. After decades of operating his Ames store, Max opened a Berck's Clothing store in Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines. During the early 1970s Ira worked with his father at Berck's Clothing, and then continued to operate the store several years after Max died (1974).
M.S. Berck, who for 22 years was associated with Frankel Clothing in Des Moines, fell in love with Ames while driving through one day. He established a men's wear store in Ames in 1947. He is dedicated to service with quality. His store grew from a 16' x 50' store located in a corner of the hotel to the present, modern 25' x 100' store located at 229 Main where he still serves men and young men of this community with quality merchandise.
Dark clothes with lively furnishings sums up the general spring fashion outlook for men, according to M.S. Berck of the Berck Clothing company. Above, Pete Wilson, Iowa State college senior in industrial psychology, ponders over the black lo-boy tassel oxford which is representative of the continental influence in footwear featured in men's fashion publications this season. He already has the remainder of his outfit. With the gray flecked trousers he is wearing a mint green Oxford shirt with short point, button down collar, a black and mint necktie and a charcoal gray jacket flecked with lighter gray. Shoulders on the jacket are only semi-padded to give a taller and trimmer appearance. In the background - in case it's chilly - is Pete's brand new spring topcoat, charcoal with brown and gray flecks, and styled with bal collar and raglan sleeves. The hat is a charcoal gray campus collegian type with narrow brim and colored ribbon. Pete, whose home town is glen Ridge, N.J., lives at the Beta Theta Pi house, 2120 Lincoln Way. He is a member of Cardinal Guild, the Veishea Central committee, the Science council and the Homecoming Central committee.
Carrying the motto, "An investment in good appearance," Berck Clothing Co. of 229 Main St. is in its 14th year of operation, filling men's and boys' clothing needs. The firm was opened in 1947 with a small sales staff, and with facilities of 16 by 50 feet, at 301 Main St. In 1958 the store moved to the current address, with new locations completely remodeled to fill expanding sales. The store now has facilities of 25 by 100 feet - more than three times the original store size. Sales staff has increased to a total of eight to ten, including seven full time employees.
The store features clothing and shoes for men and boys, and outfits Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) personnel, supplying the goods on a contract basis.
Berck Clothing also carries tuxedo rentals for college and Ames area use, and delivers purchased clothing out of state. Max Berck, manager, said he would like to double operations some day, and noted the firm strives to have "the right merchandise at the right time at the right place," adding, "the customer is the real boss." College students and faculty comprise a large percentage of his trade.
In the boys' shop, managed by Woody Thrasher, clothing for ages six to twenty is carried. Some of the lines include Kanee shirts, Robert Bruce, Jackie Jumper and Ray Gilbert clothing, Windbreaker and Lakeland jackets. The firm also carries the Weyenberg-massagic shoes for men and the Golden Horseshoe line of jeans.

The new State Officials and Employees Ethics Act (“SOEEA”) requires the Illinois public university governing boards in coordination with the Illinois Board of Higher Education to demonstrate they have adopted and implemented for all employees under their respective jurisdiction and control specific personnel policies relating to (a) work time requirements, (b) documentation of time worked, (c) documentation for reimbursement of authorized travel expenses while on official State business, compensation, and the earning or accrual of State benefits for all State employees who may be eligible to receive those benefits. 5 ILCS 430/5-5.
“….The president or designee is fully authorized to adopt necessary standards and implementing procedures in order to effectuate the Institution’s Policies and Board Regulations and maintain them in accordance with applicable laws or regulations. The president or designee shall, at the request of the Board or the Board Chair, issue interpretive memoranda in response to questions of interpretation.” Where necessary or appropriate the president may authorize updates to this program of compliance.
The following personnel policies are in effect to assure Chicago State University (CSU) is in appropriate compliance with the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, all other applicable state laws, and the standards previously established by the Board of Trustees of CSU. Any policies stated herein that were not previously in effect are automatically effective by operation of law through authority of the Board of Trustees of Chicago State University and provisions of its Bylaws no later than March 4, 2004 to the extent authorized or required by applicable laws.
Robin M. Hawkins, Esq. is the individual assigned by the President to serve as Ethics Officer for CSU.

By way of example, individuals’ responsibilities may include: classroom, laboratory or field instruction, and associated preparation; evaluation and grading; one-on-one work; continuing professional education and development to maintain current competencies in relevant fields of knowledge; participation in university organizational and disciplinary professional events; and representing the university throughout a variety of time periods that include evenings and weekends.
Unless otherwise required by unusual circumstances, normal university department office hours are 8:30 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with lunch periods designated by individual departments. Work hours pertaining to individual instructional/scholarship, services, and administrative responsibilities extend throughout the 7-day, 24-hour, workweek as necessary to maintain operations and fulfill the university’s mission.
Work schedules applicable to all full-time administrators, shall assume a minimum schedule of 40 hours of work per week. All exempt, non-negotiated civil service staff shall work 37.5 hours per week. All non-exempt, non-negotiated staff shall work a minimum schedule of 35 hours of work per work.

The Design for Giving Contest was India's largest social change contest for schoolchildren. An international jury panel met to select 100 winning entries from more than 1,300 moving stories of change from around India.
This was the official website for this 2009 contest.
Kiran Bir Sethi is a designer who became a teacher, a principal who grew into an education reformer, an advocate who morphed into a social entrepreneur. A trained graphic designer, she comfortably uses the language of design — iteration, prototype, design specs — to develop not only curriculum innovation, but also community-based social programs.
In 2009, Kiran Bir Sethi conceptualized and promoted India’s largest design contest for schools, where more than 100,000 children participated in designing solutions for some of India’s most challenging problems. In 2010, the initiative known now as “The Design for Change” contest has reached 22 countries and over 250,000 children are designing and implementing solutions in the areas of education, environment, child labor, urban planning, among others.
“The Design for Change” contest mission is to empower children, parents, and teachers around the world to be ‘agents of change’; and collaborate to design solutions for a better future by understanding the power of two words: ‘I Can’.
1. My school is not participating in the Design for Giving Contest what can we do as children?
You can take on the initiative by yourself, as an individual or as a group.
2. Can I get my school to participate in the Design for Giving Contest ?
Of course! The whole point of this initiative is to involve as many schools across India for one purpose. Since we can’t reach every school in India, you can help us by spreading the word.
3. Will you give me promotional material to put up on the notice board?
All our material is downloadable off this website. Which consists of the toolkit which contains promotional items such as posters.
4. How much time do I need to spend when I participate?
5. What are the various ways in which a child can participate in the Design for Giving Contest?
Do simple acts of kindness like helping an old person cross the road; or donate a toy to the next child you see on the street. You can organize a drive with other children in your area to clean up your society or a nearby park.
You can request your school authorities to help fix one day of the Week between Sept 27-Oct 3 as the Bake/Cook Sale Day. Each of you then makes and carries home-made snacks or cakes to be sold in the school, and the money raised through this sale can be donated to a charity selected by you or your school. In the end, anything is valid as long as the act of ‘Giving’ continues.
Kindness also counts - based on a dog bed product she found online at goodnightdog.com Roni Amar designed a comfortable round dog bed for a stray dog who hangs out in her neighborhood. This inspired her classmates to create bird feeders, and shelters for some of the feral cats that keep the area free of rats.
6. Where can we give books we have collected?
7. Where can we give toys we have collected?
8. I have collected money from doing odd jobs for people in my area where can I donate this?
9. Where can I send my story to be put on the website?
10. I would like to add ideas for other kids to implement how can I do this?
11. Can a group of friends from different schools participate in the Design Challenge?
12. I want to help create awareness about eye donation how do I do it?
13. My school wants to invite an NGO, how do I find one?
You could go to the ‘Give India’ homepage and select an NGO to contact.
1. Why the need for such an event?
Why not? We are trying to help children realize that they can ‘be the change’! and therefore, change the perception that they are helpless and do not matter – by giving them the power to change India.
2. Who are the people behind the event?
In collaboration with JGW, Riverside School, Ahmedabad, is the school that is heading the implementation of the Design of Giving Contest. In addition, our sponsors are contributing to the financial and promotional aspects of this event.
3. When will the event be held?
4. Who can participate in the events?
Anyone – students in school, students outside school, and people all across India. This contest is geared primarily towards students from grades 6-8 to show that children can “be the change” they want to see.
5. What are formalities to be completed as part of the registration process?
6. Where will these events be held?
All across India – we plan to sign on over 30,000 schools and 100,000 students all over the country.
7. Are there are any prizes or certificates that will be given out?
8. How do I get my school to participate in the event?
9.. Are there any registration fees?
No, there are no registration fees or any fees from JGW of any kind.
10. Would there by any penalties for registering but not participating?
No, but if you register, please do so once you intend to participate.
11. After registering do we need to send a draft plan to the organisers?
No draft plan is required.
12. Who will be the contact person from the school?

Gee, almost forgot to mention -- SNEWS® participated post-Outdoor Retailer show in a media trip to Catalina Island sponsored by W.L. Gore to test new XCR (Extended Comfort Range) fabrics in both shoes by Salomon and some soft-shell jackets.
Gee, almost forgot to mention -- SNEWS® participated post-Outdoor Retailer show in a media trip to Catalina Island sponsored by W.L. Gore to test new XCR (Extended Comfort Range) fabrics in both shoes by Salomon and some soft-shell jackets. Only problem was, SoCal was having a dry warm spell. Wasn't a drop of rain or nary a wet spot in sight. So here we all are, trooping along on a night hike when we spot a small muddy puddle. Before you could say "Windstopper," all feet on deck were trying to squish around in the poor littl' puddl' to see if the XCR in the shoes worked. Conclusion: It did. At least for a few seconds of puddle-standing and mud-squishing. Of course, a couple of journalists -- Backpacker's Dennis Lewon and Trailrunner's Lisa Jhung -- found that a dip in the chilly Pacific, followed by a rooftop Jacuzzi was the best test -- unfortunately the XCR didn't come along. Now, THAT woulda been a wear-test!

A good WordPress AdSense plugin is worth a lot, although we often use free versions. I recently updated my notes on approx. 14 free AdSense plugins and wanted to give the readers a quick overview of the 5 most downloaded WordPress plugins that you can use to serve Google AdSense. I listed the plugins in alphabetical order, and so there is no rating.
Update: After it became known that the only plugin that truly allows ad optimization is no longer under development (Ad Injection) and the others don’t allow you to adjust their code and boost ad income, I developed the free WordPress AdSense plugin Advanced Ads. It not only manages ads, but also allows you to hook into it or create useful add-ons. Get Advanced Ads for free on wordpress.org or learn more on the plugin homepage.
A few months after I published this article, I decided to write my own WordPress AdSense plugin to manage and optimize ads and other codes. Before that, I used some of the plugins listed below, but they are either outdated or not meant to really increase your income. Therefore, I wrote Advanced Ads.
At first, it looks like a normal ad management plugin and would serve you well like one. Under the hood, the plugin is developed on WordPress standards, allowing developers to customize a lot of things. There are already a few extensions that I created that show how easy it is to create simple, but powerful ad boosting methods and use them with Advanced Ads. Find Advanced Ads on wordpress.org or learn more about it from the plugin website.
Update: Ad Injection is an outdated WordPress AdSense plugin for years and the author no longer reacts in the forum. I would advise against using it.
One year ago, when I chose an AdSense plugin for one of our WordPress platforms, I considered Ad Injection to be a really great plugin. It offers two very important features that professional WordPress websites might need: cache support and a lot of test options. There was just one big argument against it: the plugin allows just a maximum number of ads without doing a bit more code work than just copy and pasting. Until then, the plugin development seemed to have stopped. Believing the forum, cache support is not working with the latest caching plugins. However, people are still amazed by the options for tweaking their income.
Playing a bit more with this WordPress ad plugin made me realize that it is rather complicated and not very user-friendly. The author tried really hard when describing all the options, and I personally like the way that he wrote the helpful FAQ. Still, I wouldn’t recommend using a plugin that is not somehow still under development and that is too difficult to adjust to your own individual needs.
Based on the raw numbers, AdRotate is one of the most popular ad plugins. I still remember when people first told me about it in a session that I gave on ad optimization more than a year ago. Having tested this ad plugin for WordPress, I must admit that people made a good choice when using it. The free version offers flexible ad management with basic settings. The interface is simple and almost clean.
Once you have installed the free version from the WordPress repository, you will notice a lot of disabled options. It seems like 2/3 of the backend content is just a dummy of features from the pro version. I completely sympathize with a plugin author offering additional paid services. In this case, however, I think he overdoes it a bit. There is definitely a benefit in the commercial version like the advanced reporting and planning, but the great usability from the first glance loses a lot when you are desperately clicking dummy checkboxes.
Update: The plugin was removed from wordpress.org.
Imagine that you want to develop a WordPress plugin for Google AdSense. How would you name it? Do you wonder if I would tell you that there is a – and not the only one – plugin actually called Google AdSense?
Most of those plugins are unmaintained for a longer period or didn’t have any real benefit. This Google AdSense plugin for WordPress seems to be an exception – at first glance. I saw the screenshots, the active developer team in the forum, and the feature that one doesn’t have to create ads in AdSense directly – even though I would prefer that personally. I felt stupid installing the plugin. The options were so limited that I couldn’t believe that it was a plugin that has been downloaded approx. 180,000 times.
What the plugin offers is the ability to create up to 3 ads that are then displayed on your front page. Their changelog page is a joke – most of it involves updates for the translations. The PRO-plugin page in the backend is bigger than the core features. There isn’t even an ad plugin available for purchase. Therefore, in this case at least, the name of the plugin does not provide what it promises.
Update: The WordPress AdSense plugin was removed from wordpress.org.
Simple Ads Manager is the plugin of my choice. It needs some time to understand, but has the best proportion between complexity in features and usability. The advert management is flexible and even allowed selling ads directly. You can also perform simple tests. Even Google DFP is directly supported.
The latest reviews show two drawbacks in the development: errors are being echoed and the click counting is wrong. Personally, I don’t care about click counting because this is done by my ad networks. However, if you sell ads directly with a fixed amount of ads, this feature is critical. Since this bug has not been fixed for a long period, I believe that the author doesn’t have enough time to maintain the plugin. In such cases, you should think about choosing a plugin that comes with a business model than one that is developed for free. From my experience in ad optimization, I know how even small technical changes eat up your valuable time.
Still, if you can live with the bugs or are a developer yourself, SAM is a great plugin and not only when serving AdSense in WordPress.
Based on the reviews and downloads, this WordPress AdSense plugin is slim, simple to use, and comes with an option to experiment with ad placements in posts. For someone who needs only up to 10 ad codes and doesn’t know how to place shortcodes or functions into template files, Quick AdSense really seems to be a simple solution that I can recommend.
As major limitations, even for smaller websites, I would mention that placing ads outside the post content or widgets isn’t supported. In most cases, publishers also want to use banners outside the main wrapper or in the header. Still, for beginners, this is everything you might need to get started with Google AdSense in WordPress.
Find Quick AdSense on wordpress.org.
As I mentioned, I have reviewed many more AdSense plugins for WordPress, but they are too small, too young, or too buggy to mention them here. Feel free to share your experience with these or other AdSense plugins below in the comments.
Great write up. I find Quick Adsense to be the simplest and quickest to implement though I have also heard good things about Ad Injection.
I’ve used “All in one adsense” (http://linewbie.com/wordpress-plugins/all-in-one-adsense-and-ypn) for years, it has always worked good for me, I have tried others, but non are as good as this one. Though I’ve heard good things about premium adsense plugins too (you have to buy them), I haven’t tried them.
Thanks for the tip. I also found the plugin in the WordPress plugin directory, but it was not updated there. I miss some information on their website that motivate me more to give it a try.
Hi Thomas! Great article. I’m wondering if anyone has come to you asking about plugins that allow you to split test various adsense positions and ad types in your wordpress blog? I thought that would be useful, so I built a plugin (see my link), but it’s getting little traction at the moment. Do people not care, or do people just not want to pay for anything that could make them more money? Thanks for your insight!
thanks for your comment. Indeed I do split tests for adsense ads and there wasn’t a public a working solution, so I developed one. I think such a plugin is needed, but you might not doing the best job in selling it. Maybe I can help you, if you’d like.
I am using QuickAdsnese and quiet satisfied. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the nice post. I am also already using QuickAdsnese and thats awesome.satisfied.
What do you like most about QuickAdSense?
I like the idea to separate the ads on different devices, the only thing is that is it possible to insert the ads into different positions in a single post?
Hi angel, if you are referring to Advanced Ads, then yes, you can inject ads into posts.
Thanks Thomas for the Adsense plugin suggestions, the article is very timely as I want to monetise my blog easily but choosing the best plugin is not so simple.
FYI I found an article which warns people to be careful when choosing a “Free” Google Adsense plugin. Your viewers may wish to take note also!
Hi Traci, thanks for noticing that. The great thing about WordPress is the mass of people watching very closely. I also once found this type of “sharing” mentality in a WordPress plugin. It is generally a good advice to have a look at the support and review section before installing a plugin from wordpress.org. Still, there are a lot of great AdSense plugins out there – free and commercial ones.
I found this an interesting read as I have been having Adsense problems for quite some time. The last I have tried is the Google Adsense plugin and it increases my Adsense views immensely but I still have the same issue with my Vidzoom first or splash page. The adds disappear after a second or 2 and I am unsure how much this is affecting my views and income?
Hi Tad, sure, when ads disappear, there is with certainty an affect on your ad income. So you should definitely have someone find the cause of it.
Came here looking for some good Adsense plugins for WordPress. There is some good info in this post, but I couldn’t finish reading it – too many usage errors. I wish authors would make a better effort.
Thanks Dino, but what is a “usage error” in your opinion?
the answer on this really depends on what you want to accomplish. For simple use of AdSense QuickAdSense seems to be a good choice. For more complex placements and tests, it isn’t.
Great research and writing, Thomas. My site is WordPress hosted, but I haven’t downloaded WP. How do I use Quick Adsense in this situation? I only want three Adsense sidebar widget ads.
Hi Belinda, showing ads on your wordpress.com hosted site is very limited. Please have a look on http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/. If you are serious about earning money with your content, please consider to move to your own domain with WordPress as a CMS asap.
Great and helpful posts Thomas, especially for me….a super newby to the world of blogging and Adsense. I started a very simple microniche website using a free WordPress template and got fast Adsense approval. After a bit of back linking my site is earning an average of $2.50 per day already. The plan is to create 100+ microniche sites. Is $2.50/day below average, average, or above average? My CTR is 2.70%.
Hi RobbH, congrats on your projects. I personally prefer to focus on very few projects, but some topics just don’t get enough traction. $2.50/day is a rather neutral number – meaning – not telling me enough. How is your CPC? What is your website about? a CTR of 2.70% is ok for a topic blog.
Thanks for the reviews. I considered SimpleAds but found a lot of 1-star reviews perhaps from lack of support. Quick Adsense seems reliable despite some of the limitations you mentioned. Usually I’ll choose something that really works even if it’s missing features… we can often ad features.
Hi Joel, I think there is a solution for every target group here. SAM is great to not only display ads, but do a bit more tricks and tests with them. I didn’t want to miss it in the past even when I had to hack it. Quick AdSense is great to just throw AdSense onto your website without a need to code yourself or spend a lot of time optimizing the ad performance.
I had earlier tried the Google AdSense Plugin which you did not recommend, and I’ve had some bad experience with that one. The reviews on WordPress explains a lot for that plugin.
After reading your suggestions, I tried Quick Adsense and it worked perfectly. It’s lightweight and very flexible in regards to exactly where you want the Ads placed in the post / page areas.
Hi Chandra, I am very glad I could help!
I am delighted that I came upon this website. Thanks God I came throughout on this website. This information will definitely going to help me with adsense.
Depends on your purpose. Selling ads, using different ad networks, inserting AdSense on few position?
Is there a wp ad manager plugin which is geo compatible bcoz such plugin im looking for my web site Bright Verge. Adrotate gives the ability to target ads via cities and countries. Any one which can target counties and states? Appreciate a reply.
I am using the Google DFP ad server for this. There will be an integration of DFP in Advanced Ads soon.
Hi there great post i have got approved for my adsense a week ago and excited about the ad placement on my blog..
Thomas thank you for the great article. I am going to try your adsense plugin. The one I am using seems to have glitched, and is not working. Went from 10 dollars a day off my site to .24 cents. Aggravating.
I wanted to ask you. Do you inject your own ads in order to make money off it for your plugin as it’s a free version. As someone who makes money from adsese, I didn’t think you would.
Hi Jesse, don’t worry, I don’t inject ads. There are some premium add-ons that support the development of the free version as well and I appreciate if people buy them, but I don’t take a cut from the ad impressions.
I don’t know every ad network – even though I test a lot – but until now every network worked with Advanced Ads.
How do I add my adsense codes?
You find the manual on http://wpadvancedads.com.
Thomas I reviewed the manual yesterday. Is it possible for you to give me an example of getting two different google adsense ads into all my blog posts? I read ad injection today, but that’s for just one page.
Your artical is very useful for me it is very simple artical but covered all topic .
i recently applied for adsens and got approved but the problem is i am not getting much which i expected from .
can you suggest me any simple adsens pulgin which help me to boost revenue.
Hi Furquah, it is not really the tool that boosts the income, but the methods. There are multiple ways to increase AdSense income, like a smart positioning or testing different ad sizes and the best ad plugins (like of course my own Advanced Ads plugin) are just means to implement what you need. In a lot of my articles I cover some tactics and methods, just keep on reading.
Your income potential also depends on your traffic, location of your visitors and topic.
Good luck boosting your revenue.
Thank you Thomas. Will do.
I agree, before Ad Injection was abandoned for more than two year, it was a great solution to inject ads. There was recently a minor update, maybe this was a new beginning.
Thank you, Dudeja, for taking the time to give me your great feedback.
Hi Rob, I don’t know the Google AdSense widget plugin, but it seems broken. Your ads are cut off.
Great Plugin for wordpress, i must say and thanks for the information. However, you described it very nicely.
Nice advice, i am trying different plugins for different application ,you suggestion valued added to my word press knowledge.
I like Quick AdSense, but it is outdated now. Use adsense plugin wisely, may be plugin developer will stealing your page views.
Thank you for your comment. I agree that there were incidents where developers did switch codes, but what would you suggest potential users to do against it, resp. how could they test if this happens to them?
i already uses one of the plugins from that i am reading your blog post its really aweome and please share this type of article It also provides information on its promotion events, expected income on first day release and predictions among others.
Hi, I don’t know what you mean by “perfect”, but I am pretty confident that my Advanced Ads plugin is one of the easiest to most reliable AdSense plugins out there.
Congrats for the plugin! It’s really easy to introduce the ads on pages.
I am writing something like this on my blog as well. I have been using Quick Adsense from last few years and happy with it.
I have recently started using premium plugins like WordPress Ads Pro, it seems promising. But I’ll have to use a few more before deciding on the long term solution.
i’m trying your plugin !
Thanks Rodrigo, for taking the time to write. A plugin that wasn’t updated for so long and has no many reviews is hard for me to recommend, but good that you mentioned it to give others the chance to try it out.
Interesting idea, but it seems that one needs an account to your service so it is not really something I would recommend right away.
Would you mind elaborating on the issue you see with creating an account? It’s currently free for all users that have less than 50,000 daily pageviews. If you’d prefer, you can email me the response. Always happy to receive feedback.
Thanks to post such a nice article about wordpress plugins. I am still not understood the policies of these tools in term of revenue. I had tried many plugins but didn’t see any improvement.
Hi, these tools don’t take something from your revenue. Some have premium versions you can purchase or others might have sponsors to finance the project. The plugin is also a tool and it is about using it right in order to improve results. I write a lot about ad optimization here on webgilde and it is on you to choose the tool and apply them. Anyway, I believe that my Advanced Ads plugin is made for ad optimization and there is a growing number of tutorials there too.
Thanks for this great adsense plugin. I use google publisher plugin, seem no increase in cpc.. I want to try the adsense target..Do you try this?
I have to believe that my Advanced Ads plugin is the best to increase the performance of AdSense, this is why I built it 🙂 However, I do test other solutions, but don’t want to end up with too many different ones. I prever to have a single solution for all the optimizations I need.
Great article. I would definitely buy one of these. I recently bought Ads-pro which was a total waste of money. It is definitely one of the worst plugins I have come across.
I used Quick Adsense for 3 years, and now they just return error when I install them on my new sites.
It is an old post. The Official Google Adsense plugin for WordPress is now doing much more than the old days.
Please specific what it does more now. Last time I checked, the official AdSense plugin wasn’t much better and I still receive complains about it from users who changed to other plugins.
I used to insert code manually in the theme above and below content as well as sidebars sometimes but you definitly need a plugin to enhance your earnings. I gave a 3 day try to Now! Plugin for AdSense but it’s not that good. I will try All in One Adsense or Ad Injection. Thanks for the tips.
Don’t forget about my Advanced Ads plugin. It does come with plenty of ad injections, especially those you asked for.
I used to have Adsense on my site about a year ago but took it off because I wasn’t making any money. Now I’ve learned more I want to give it another go. Your plug in sounds interesting – I updated WordPress so that I can install it.
I’m interested in the ad rotation aspect because I think many viewers get ad blindness that affects income. How does this affect what you set in Adsense. I understand that if you set custom channels then more advertisers will be able to bid on your space which should increase the click price. If you’ve specifically set the ad as above the fold, how does this work or affect you in terms of ad rotation if the ad is the displayed in a different area on your page. How is it best to set Adsense up so you have full flexibility where you can place and test ad’s.
I used custom channels before so that I could have targeted ads on specific posts. Can I set ads to appear on specific posts with your plug in and am I then able to change or test where they appear on that post for best results.
Sorry for the long question, but I manually added Adsense in the past and now want to set it up in much quicker and easier to change way.
Hi Kevin, you can rotate different ad sizes on the same spot using Advanced Ads and also target specific posts, categories or page types. I have a rotation-position feature on my todo list too, but it is not yet ready.
Great job. I haven’t used used all of them but still found the official google AdSense plugin to be the best . I am currently using it and getting a better impression and ctr.
Good to know that it works. Many people don’t like that it takes over your site without them seeing what it actually does – because most code it executes is not visible. And it injects a lot of code into your sites html and blows it up too.
A hugely motivated and insightful article for bloggers who are willing to monetize their blog through AdSense. My domain Puzzle Duniya just crossed 6 months barrier and now i am going to apply for AdSense account. This article is going to help me a lot for my future monetization strategies. I also like the other comments made by specialists. Can anybody tell how Google’s own AdSense plugin works? Has anyone used it?
I did indeed test the plugin and was not happy with the implementation. You can’t extend it and it injects plenty of additional code. It is also easy to spot that it was not written with compatibility in mind. However, for many small publishers it might work without problems.
Wow…so helpful ! Thank you for sharing this adsense plugins.
Great article.according to you which of the plugin is best?
But thanks, it really works like charm otherwise.
I am regular reader of your blog site.
Can you please suggest best adsense revene sharing plugins for my multi author blog?
I am fed up by searching too much and tested almost all plugins.
Sure, you can use Advanced Ads for this following the instructions on https://wpadvancedads.com/manage-revenue-share-on-mulit-author-blogs/.
Hi Thomas, I am Mehedi Hasan, very new in the blogging world. I have taken my blogging project for 5 years. I have an approved AdSense account. I think all the Adsense plugins you have discussed are good enough to implement into the site. Definitely, this list of best Adsense plugins helps both the newbie and advanced users to get the best out of their AdSense income. Once again Thanks for this nice and effective list.
You are right, all of them can help with the basic implementation of AdSense.
Hello Thomas, i think it’s better to add some more free adsense plugins here which will let the user choose the right one for their blogs.
The biggest challenge of any professional blogger is to increase the income from the blog. And Adsense indeed is one of the most useful ways of increasing your income.
A great way to boost your income here is to install a good plug in. This three given here are really awesome and I would definitely try this out.

Back in 2015, Google launched a clever venture called Project Sunroof that used Google Maps data to assess the solar potential of individual roofs, giving homeowners a better idea of whether or not they should take the plunge. From humble beginnings in a few select cities the project has now expanded to cover every US State, and the data collected in the process makes a compelling case for solar indeed.
The upfront costs of installing rooftop solar might cause many to hesitate, particularly considering the unknowns around how much energy it would actually produce. Project Sunroof is Google's attempt to remove some of the guesswork, combining aerial images from Google Maps with 3D modeling of the roof and even taking into account sun position, weather patterns and shade from nearby objects.
From this information, Google can calculate how many hours of usable sunlight your roof receives along with how much is available for placement of solar panels. It can then estimate the resulting energy production and, based on current solar industry pricing, the costs and savings involved if you decide to go ahead.
The project started in Boston, Fresno and the San Francisco Bay Area in August 2015 and has now analyzed around 60 million buildings across the country. All this data has revealed some very useful insights about the state of solar power in the US. For starters, 79 percent of all roofs analyzed are technically viable for solar power. That's four out of every five homes.
In Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico, more than 90 percent of the homes are technically viable. In Pennsylvania, Maine and Minnesota, just over 60 percent are viable. As far as the total solar potential of US cities go, Houston tops the list with an estimated 18,940 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of generation per year. Google says if the country's top ten cities hit their rooftop potential, it would produce enough energy to power eight million homes.
If you're interested in seeing what your rooftop has to offer, you can check out the Project Sunroof explorer tool here.
