The initial response to the question of who owns your domain name would likely be, "I do." In most cases, you would be correct. That's what I thought, too, when I received a renewal notice last August. As it turns out, I was wrong — sort of.
If that sounds confusing, you have it right. There is nothing straightforward about what I am about to share with you.

Staff at The Buffalo News in upstate New York can see Canada out their cafeteria window. If traffic is light, it's 10 minutes by car from their newsroom at 1 News Plaza to the Peace Bridge — which, halfway across the Niagara River, becomes Queen Elizabeth Way, Fort Erie.
This proximity to the border is convenient for Bryan Carr, who's responsible for the print edition of the News. Transporting newsprint — the thin, low-grade paper that arrives as thick rolls and leaves as stacks of newspapers — is a major cost.

The picture isn't always clear when it comes to video advertising on mobile devices.
That's because there are two different standards when it comes to video: VAST and VPAID. VAST is abundantly available through programmatic exchanges and loads much faster when compared to its counterpart, VPAID, but it's incapable of measuring key metrics like viewability on mobile or in apps. VPAID has problems, but not that one.

The word "writing" has become associated with hitting keys on a keyboard to make letters appear on a screen or inscribing by hand onto paper. But the end result is a mode of communication from one brain to another through the medium of words. Those words can be generated by your voice, just as people can "read" by listening to an audiobook.

The Millions
Punctuation, largely invisible and insignificant for normal people, as it should be, is a highly personal matter for writers. Periods, commas, colons, semi-colons: in their use or non-use and in their order and placement, can represent elaboration, conjecture, doubt, finality. And in aggregate, over the course of a text, the rhythms of punctuation advance an author's worldview and personality as surely as any plot or theme.

Quick and Dirty Tips
Quotations can bring your writing to life — the reader imagines someone saying the words — but quotations are also vexing to format. Not only do you have to follow different rules depending on what other punctuation marks you mix with your quotation marks, but people in different countries also follow different rules, so you may see quotation marks handled differently in high-quality publications from different countries.

Instagram's newest Stories feature doesn't feel much like Instagram. The platform's new "type mode" lets users add pages to their stories that just involve text. No photos or videos are needed. Users can choose from colorful, customizable backgrounds and different text styles, including a neon font and one that's reminiscent of a typewriter. Stickers can be added, too. You've probably already seen a similar-looking page when you respond to a friend's direct messages.

There are lots of uncertainties about Facebook's future, but one thing is for sure: CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been busy making big changes.
In January, he announced a drastic overhaul of the social network's vaunted news feed. Facebook will soon put more focus on posts from family and friends and less emphasis on content from brands and media outlets. He's also asking the site's users to decide what Facebook should consider trusted news sources.

From afar, and even from its own dark and derelict lower floors, this abandoned paper mill in Sweden is much like any other disused factory. But found upstairs, on the second level up, is an amazing "garden" space, half-recovered by nature. Redditor IEatBasil, posting in the marvelous Abandonedporn forum, describes it as "probably the most beautiful place I've ever been to."

Recycled irrigation runoff water is a viable alternative for nursery and greenhouse production. However, it is likely to have plant pathogens present, including viruses, water molds, fungi, nematodes and bacteria. To prevent plant pathogen spread, recycled irrigation water needs to be disinfected. Typical sanitation techniques include using chemicals (such as, chlorine products or ozone), heat treatments or ultraviolet light to kill pathogens.
