Image Space Media is the first and leading provider of In-Image advertising for the Internet, reaching over 80 million unique users worldwide each month.
Image Space Media matches relevant advertisements to images across our network of 7,000 publishers, serving over a quarter billion impressions per month. We provide publishers with additional revenue for their sites, maximizing web advertisement space without compromising content integrity.
ISM’s ad network, which recently launched an analytics offering, helps publishers monetize images on their websites with ad overlays. Its proprietary technology allows for audience targeting and matches ads to the most appropriate images available. With AdStart, advertisers can now create text based ads on both a cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand (CPM) impression level. Once the advertiser creates their text-based ad campaign, they set their bid price and fund their account using a credit card or PayPal with a minimum of $5.00 for prepaid accounts. The ads immediately begin running as overlays on contextually relevant images across the Image Space Media Network.
ISM says that beta testing results have been relatively successful. The CTR on the ISM AdStart campaign for The Intuitive Learning Company was more than 7 times higher than a Google Adwords campaign for the same product. COO Kevin Tung has told us that CTRs for in-image ads are higher than average rates for normal display ads, which he says range from .2 % to .3%. He adds that CTRs depend on size and dimensions of the ad itself.

Miguel Juan Sebastián Piñera Echenique, Ph.D. (Spanish pronunciation: [miˈɣel ˈxwan seβasˈtjan piˈɲeɾa etʃeˈnike]; born December 1, 1949) is the current President of Chile having won the second round of the presidential election that took place on January 17, 2010, and subsequently taking office on March 11, 2010. He is a businessman, politician, former Senator, and leader of the presidential and parliamentary electoral coalition Coalition for Change. Piñera ranks among Chile's richest persons.
Piñera was born in Santiago to Magdalena Echenique Rozas and José Piñera Carvallo, who worked for CORFO and was Chilean ambassador to Belgium and to the United Nations. His maternal lineage is of Basque[1] descent and his paternal lineage is of Asturian[2] descent. He is the third child of six, with three brothers and two sisters: Guadalupe, José (a former Minister of Labor under Augusto Pinochet), Pablo, Miguel (a well-known Chilean performer), and Magdalena. He is married to Cecilia Morel Montes and has four children: Magdalena, Cecilia, Sebastián and Cristóbal.
He is the President who totally involve on Rescuing The Chile Miners
Like millions of viewers throughout the world, I stayed glued to the TV set most of the time during the 22 hours of rescue operation. It was undoubtedly the most dramatic news story of the year – a story where commentators had to grope for superlatives to describe the awesome events unfolding before our eyes – Fenix 2 going up and down 2,230 feet below, as each of the 33 miners was winched through a narrow escape shaft. For 69 days, they were trapped, buried alive, not knowing for some 17 days whether there was hope of any rescue. It is a story of the triumph of the human spirit and the will to survive.
Chile President Sebastian Pinera who had taken command of the operation was at the site all that time together with his wife. He noted that the incident which started as a tragedy was more than the rescue of human beings. It is already transforming the country in many ways. It is now be more united, valued, and respected. It will want to be the first in Latin America to reject poverty and underdevelopment. It will no longer be remembered by the conflicts, coup d’etats, and disasters. President Pinera is the first elected conservative leader of a country of about 17 million people with whom we share many similarities.
Also a country with diverse cultures and indigenous peoples. Chile played an important role in Spanish conquest, having been a Spanish colony following the visit of Ferdinand Magellan in 1520. It is also primarily Roman Catholic. Before its successful transition to democracy in the 1990’s, it underwent a dictatorship for 17 years under Pinochet. Mining is one of its leading industries.
The rescue operation planned before Christmas, came sooner than was expected, and likewise was executed with remarkable efficiency within 21 hours and 44 minutes. International support poured in in the form of hi-tech equipment – drilling instruments, special eyeglasses, and monitors for vital signs, and rescue workers and volunteers.
What we have seen from this inspiring experience is the importance of good organization, leadership, teamwork, unity, commitment, solidarity, and individual values of faith, hope, loyalty, and belief in God. As the chaplain to the President who organized a prayer chain said, this miracle is a proof that there is a God. A psychologist noted: In times of crisis like this, the way to survive is not to feel isolated, and not to let one’s guard down.
We can learn from each of the men with their unique stories of survival. There was Luis Urzua, who, like a brave captain of a sinking ship, knew the chain of command and insisted that he be the last person to be rescued. Surrounded by plans and maps, he kept the morale of his men by providing them with dominos and games, assigning tasks, and ensuring that the limited supply of tuna, crackers, and milk was distributed equally. Florencio Avalos documented the ordeal and perhaps sent up the first note – “All 33 of us are alive in the shelter” to which President Pinera replied, “Today all of Chile is crying with excitement and joy.”
Mario Sepulveda, the one who brought rocks as souvenirs for fellow miners, made this moving testimony: “I was with both God and the Devil. God won. I held His Hand and there was no doubt He would get me out.” Ariel Ticoma’s wife gave birth to a baby girl during his ordeal underground. At first, the name was supposed to be Carolina, but they changed it to Esperanza (which means hope), as it was hope that kept them going. Ariel also brought back the telephone that served as a communication link with the world outside. Victor Zamora jestingly sent a note to this mother saying that the good thing about their situation is that one does not need a daily wash.
The Story of My Experiments with Truth (Gujarātī: સત્યના પ્રયોગો અથવા આત્મકથા) is the autobiography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, covering his life from early childhood through to 1920
It was initiated at the insistence of Swami Anand and other close co-workers of Gandhi, for him to explain the background of his public campaigns. In 1999, the book was designated as one of the "100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by HarperCollins publishers
"Shopaholic Abroad" (also known as "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan") (2001) is the second in the popular 'Shopaholic' series. It is a chick-lit novel by Sophie Kinsella, a psyeudonym of Madeline Wickham.
It follows the story of Becky Bloomwood and her adventures when she's offered the chance to work in New York.
See that girl on the cover of Coming Undone? That’s P.J. Morgan. She and Jared Hamilton were a couple of teenagers living on the streets of Denver in my book Hot & Bothered. When I began their storyline, Jared was the brother of H&B’s heroine and central to the plot of her book. P.J., on the other hand, was only intended to be a walk-on character.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the drawing board. That little girl captured my heart and my imagination like no character before her has ever done. Usually it takes a great deal of writing before I fully understand who my characters are, but I knew P.J. in a way I can’t explain. I could see her as clearly as if she stood before me—and I am not a visual woman. She was something no child should ever be—a throwaway kid scorned by her own mother, but with a core of sweetness that nothing could alter.
Ford Evans Hamilton opened his eyes and blinked the blurry room into focus. Pain splintered through his skull and throbbed along his nerve-endings, and he lifted a cautious hand to probe the back of his head. It felt like an overripe cantaloupe.
What the hell had happened? Hearing muted voices, the clink of heavy crystal, his eyebrows drew together. Was there a party going on?
Images flickered and floated on the peripheries of his mind, and his brow cleared. Ah, yes. That's right. There was a party- the one he'd thrown to watch McMurphy squirm. Well, McMurphy and one or two others, but the point was he had guests and he'd come into the library for a box of cigars to go with the after-dinner brandy. And. . . Jared had been here, right? He scowled as bits of their argument came drifting back and he suddenly recalled the shove his son had given him as he'd stormed for the door. That boy was nothing but a blotch on the Hamilton name. Both his children were big disappointments.
