NEW YORK (Reuters) - By one estimate U.S. online political advertising could quadruple to nearly $1 billion in the 2016 election, creating huge opportunities for digital strategy firms eager to capitalize on a shift from traditional mediums like television. These firms - mostly small, partisan and based in Washington and surrounding suburbs - have grown in sophistication since the last presidential election in 2012. A niche sector in a multi-billion election industry, they are poised to play a much bigger role in 2016 as digital ads assume more importance and change the way political money is spent on advertising. (Graphic: http://reut.rs/1E6Ya5E) The companies, typically privately held and staffed by 30 to 100 people with engineering and developer backgrounds, will operate in the background of election campaigns. But their influence will likely be felt in millions of households as they help candidates tailor online adverts for specific groups of voters. Their analytical ...

Why do women have periods?

I got my first period when I was only 11. In the first few years, my periods were not only a source of occasional embarrassment, they were also excruciatingly painful. I would lie curled up in my bed with a hot water bag, unable to move or breathe, and I would wonder: "why me?"

INNOVATION...SOLOWHEEL No Sweat

For many years, whenever I saw a fully grown adult zinging around a city on one of those stand-up scooters, I’d feel a twinge of contempt. Scooters have always, to me, seemed childish. The purview of 6-year-old kids wearing purple safety helmets. Or perhaps of techie dweebs who kick-glide down the corridors of Silicon Valley corporate campuses—but I confess I tend to imagine those folks possessing the emotional maturity of 6-year-old kids. Seth Stevenson is a frequent contributor to Slate . He is the author of Grounded: A Down to Earth Journey Around the World . What makes a grown-up choose to ride a nonstandard personal conveyance? This embrace of the childlike has always seemed to me less about function and more about projecting an air of “zaniness.” (Or of defiant self-conception: “I’m a unicycle guy! Deal with it!”) The average person thinks to herself: Couldn’t that fellow on the scooter just ride a regular bike? Couldn’t that w...

Girls Want To Try This With Their Boyfriends But Never Say It

Bedroom Tips Girls Secretly Want a Guy to Do 1.Openness Every woman wants to reveal her partner her deepest naughty fantasies, but not every woman can entrust her secret dreams. That’s why a man must be totally open in bed. The more open a guy is about his intimate desires, the more open a woman will be with hers. 2. Listening To be heard is one of those things women always want to get from guys, even under the sheets. We know exactly what we love doing in bed. Guys should just listen to us and respond to our guidance on how to satisfy us best. Of course, their efforts will be rewarded. 3. Passion There is no doubt women dream about all sorts of romance, candles, flowers, gentle words etc. But men should not forget about passion as well, raw passion. Sometimes the best way to satisfy a woman is to just take her, kiss her hard, and make no apologies for how desperately he needs all of you. 4. Aggressiveness We, women, are quite enthusiastic about aggressi...

Obama confronts 'cruel' reality of his drone war

Washington (CNN)— The long trail of civilian death left by President Barack Obama's drone war finally has an innocent American face. In an extraordinary moment, Obama appeared Thursday in the White House briefing room to apologize for the accidental killings of an American and an Italian hostage in an attack on an al Qaeda compound on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border The deaths of U.S. hostage Warren Weinstein and Italian Giovanni Lo Porto were an agonizing personal blow to Obama and White House and CIA counterterrorism officials, who were forced to confront the horrifying reality that as a result of their actions, the United States killed two innocent captives."It is a cruel and bitter truth that in the fog of war generally, and our fight (against) terrorists specifically, mistakes, sometimes deadly mistakes, can occur," Obama said. But the killings also have political and policy implications. It was a serious jolt for the drone war program, which is a bedrock of his coun...

China Has Reason to Be Worried About North Korea’s Nukes

The two countries were once as close as lips and teeth, but Beijing is increasingly wary of Pyongyang and Kim Jong Un In the U.S., North Korea often feels more like of a punchline than a political threat. Coverage of the country skews heavily toward humor, whether it’s news stories about Kim Jong Un’s gravity-defying hair, or Hollywood films that milk North Korean misery for laughs. Have you heard the one about Pyongyang’s weapons program? North Korea’s nuclear missile is almost ready—just a few more trips back to Radio Shack. (Thanks for that, Twitter.) In East Asia, North Korea is less of a joke than a policy imperative—as we were reminded this week. Reporting published Thursday by the Wall Street Journal suggests that China may be worried—or more worried than normal—about North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Citing “people briefed on the matter,” the paper reported that Chinese experts privately advised American nuclear specialists that Pyongyang may have up to 20 warheads, as wel...

Swept but striving, Anthony Davis and the Pelicans have arrived

NEW ORLEANS -- Two hours before tipoff in downtown New Orleans, a twenty-something Uber driver tapped the requested destination into his iPhone app and reflexively asked, “So, what’s going on at the Smoothie King Center tonight?” The series between the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans mercifully came to a close on Saturday night, but to many native New Orleaneans, the season ended two days ago. That’s when Stephen Curry’s impossible, last-second 3-pointer slapped through the bottom of the net and seemed to squeeze the last bits of life from of the Pelicans’ long season. The driver, a self-described lifelong sports fan from New Orleans, was embarrassed once he heard the answer to his question. Of course, the Pelicans’ Game 4. How could he forget? Or better yet, how should he remember? How should the city remember this season? The optimist says forget the sweep. Instead, remember that this was the year of Anthony Davis, delivered as ...
