CMP.ly aims to provide bloggers and advertisers with a set of easily identifiable disclosures and codes that can be used to identify any material connections in blog posts, tweets or other communications. The service can be used by accessing CMP.ly’s (free) standard disclosures, signing up for a CMP.ly account to use and manage custom disclosures, or by joining an existing marketing campaign. CMP.ly exists in response to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s revised Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising – these now include blog posts, word of mouth campaigns and even Twitter messages. CMP.ly is meant to increase transparency at a time when brand conversations take place between both individual consumers and fans – and between professionals with a sometimes vested interest. CMP.ly
7 Fake Movies We Wish Were Real In a little over a month, the movie Machete will be hitting theaters. For those of you who don’t know, this movie originally started out as one of the fake trailers in the Grindhouse double feature released by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. However, the fake trailer was such a hit that fans demanded it be turned into a real movie. And soon, they’ll finally see their wish come true. It got us thinking. What are some other fake movies we’d love to see turned into real movies? 1. “Saw meets Godfather II” is how Christopher described his idea for Cleaver. The Sopranos writers took this fake movie storyline pretty far, producing an 8-minute making of Cleaver with behind the scenes footage for the “movie” starring Daniel Baldwin. 2. This fictional film is referenced several times throughout the Seinfeld series. 3. Let’s stay in the Seinfeld universe for another moment and visit another fake film that gets referenced throughout the series. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Medical Afflictions of the Cartoon Characters – Explained | moviesoddity.com Porky Pig – Parkinson’s Disease Porky Pig is a lovable hot tempered pig who first appeared as a minor character in a Warner Brothers cartoon. He has a trademark stutter that gets more pronounced as he gets agitated, which is guaranteed in any of his cartoon. Pending a medical examination, Porky would be a good candidate for a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Those stricken with Parkinson’s tend to hold their stance as slightly bent at the knees and spine, with arms often akimbo. His rapid, barely intelligible speech and bent posture are known indicators of this disease. Olive Oyl – Anorexia Olive Oyl is best known as the rather fickle girlfriend of Popeye the Sailor. Speedy Gonzales – Amphetamine Addiction Speedy Gonzales is known as the fastest mouse in Mexico. Daffy Duck – Attention Deficit Disorder Although the exact symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder can vary widely among patients, some of the most diagnosed symptoms are exhibited by none other than Daffy Duck.

A Hora Legal Portuguesa pré 1911 | Sixhat Pirate Parts Andando a passear pelo site do Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa fiquei a saber de um facto que até agora desconhecia. A hora legal portuguesa, que agora é a de Greenwich com excepção da hora de Verão (por causa do daylight saving), só está “sincronizada” com a do meridiano mais famoso do mundo desde 1911. A nossa hora legal pré 1911, era a hora do Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa, melhor, era a hora do meridiano que passa no Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa. Isto significava que estando a Oeste de Greenwich a nossa hora estava “atrasada” de 0:36:44.68 correspondentes à localização a Oeste do OAL (quer isto dizer que a dada altura tivemos que adiantar o relógio, fazendo com que desaparecessem 36 minutos da nossa história). Para além do mais o OAL é o guardião da hora legal portuguesa pelo que se quiser acertar o seu relógio, ou o relógio do seu computador nada melhor que fazê-lo sincronizando automaticamente a hora do computador com a dos servidores do Observatório.

He couldn’t have chosen a worse time. The publishing industry, as it is today, was scrambling for a strategy for remaining lucrative in the face of the internet’s free-content revolution. Meanwhile, the global recession was about to strike. All signs pointed to imminent failure for the magazine. Adding to the challenge was the fact that, at $150 a year, Monocle is far more expensive than traditional glossy magazines. And yet, against impossible odds, Monocle has thrived. Monocle boasts a global circulation nearing 150,000, a 35 percent annual increase at a time when magazine sales are supposed to be going in the other direction, and a rising subscription base of 16,000. What accounts for Monocle’s unheard-of success? Monocle now has stores, and I hope they thrive as a sort of World General Store (they should hook up with Remo Giuffre in Sydney).
