"David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his enormously popular New York Times bestseller, One Day, to a compellingly human, deftly funny new novel about what holds marriages and families together--and what happens, and what we learn about ourselves, when everything threatens to fall apart. Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that, against all odds, seduces beautiful Connie into a second date. and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades after their relationship first blossomed in London, they live more or less happily in the suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. The timing couldn't be worse. Hoping to encourage her son's artistic interests, Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world's greatest works of art as a family, and she can't bring herself to cancel.^ And maybe going ahead with the original plan is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie. Narrated from Douglas's endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who's always felt like a stranger. Us is a moving meditation on the demands of marriage and parenthood, the regrets of abandoning youth for middle age, and the intricate relationship between the heart and the head. And in David Nicholls's gifted hands, Douglas's odyssey brings Europe--from the streets of Amsterdam to the famed museums of Paris, from the cafe's of Venice to the beaches of Barcelona--to vivid life just as he experiences a powerful awakening of his own.^ Will this summer be his last as a husband, or the moment when he turns his marriage, and maybe even his whole life, around?"-- "The highly anticipated new novel from David Nicholls, author of the mega-bestselling fiction sensation One Day, which follows one man's efforts to salvage his marriage--and repair his troubled relationship with his teenaged son--during the course of a trip around Europe"--
Money
1975
Зарабатывать деньги действительно трудно — особенно если говорить о стабильном доходе в интернете. Конкуренция растёт, ниши быстро насыщаются, а рекламные платформы постоянно меняют правила игры. Однако есть сфера, которая даёт реальную возможность заработать при правильном подходе, — это арбитраж трафика. В арбитраже вы не создаёте продукт, а работаете с уже готовыми офферами: покупаете трафик дешевле и направляете его туда, где он конвертируется в прибыль. Главное здесь — аналитика, тесты и понимание аудитории. Именно поэтому арбитраж называют “цифровым ремеслом”, где всё решают стратегия и внимание к деталям. Виртуальный номер — это инструмент, который позволяет регистрировать аккаунты без привязки к реальной SIM-карте. Он нужен арбитражникам, маркетологам, SMM-специалистам и бизнесам, которые работают с несколькими страницами или проектами одновременно. Например, если вы запускаете рекламные кампании во ВКонтакте через разные аккаунты, то обычный номер быстро “закончится”. Виртуальные номера решают эту проблему, позволяя создать десятки страниц без риска блокировки личного телефона. Кроме того, виртуальный номер полезен для защиты приватности. Он скрывает ваши реальные контакты, что особенно актуально, если вы работаете с фейковыми профилями, тестовыми страницами или просто не хотите “светить” личный номер.
Higher education
When a practical joke gets him kicked out of school, Rick Luban thinks he has nowhere to go. Instead, he gets a second chance--and a life of adventure--when he signs up for a career in asteroid mining. The mining company has its own system of turning boys into men, the "higher education" of the title.
