JWoww
Former Jersey Shore star Jenni 'J-Woww' Farley showed off her sexy curves on her Instagram page over the weekend to show off some behind the scenes photos from her shoot to promote her new line of bikinis.

The reality star is the face of the Perfect Tan Bikini, a strapless swimsuit that eliminates tanlines, and Jenni showed off some of her favorite designs, all while flaunting her own bikini bod.

The Snooki & JWOWW star even share a photo of one of the line's models, saying that the swimwear is "great for small chested" women and "gives support."

U.S. government secretly collecting data on millions of Verizon users via Secret Cult


Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, in Washington, May 14, 2013. (Stelios Varias …The Obama administration has defended its gathering of phone records of millions of Verizon customers—right down to local call data—after the Guardian newspaper reported late Wednesday night that the National Security Agency has been collecting them under a top-secret court order issued in April. The administration called it a "critical tool" against terrorism and underlined that the government is not listening in on anyone's calls.
Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order, the Guardian reported, Verizon Business Services must provide the NSA “on an ongoing daily basis” with information from calls between the U.S. and overseas—as well as from calls made entirely inside the U.S. Calls made entirely overseas were not affected. It was unclear whether phones in other Verizon divisions—its regular cellphone operations, for instance—were similarly targeted.
Guardian writer Glenn Greenwald, a frequent and fierce critic of the national security state’s expansion since 9/11, writes in his bombshell report that:
The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk—regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.
The order, issued April 25 and valid through July 19, requires Verizon to turn over the numbers

Very Hot Photos Of Beverly Osu, Nigerians Representative At Big Brother Africa 2013




Beverly Osu is a model from Lagos. She describes herself as ‘smart, sexy, humble, loyal and crazy’. One of her favourite qualities is her sense of humour. In other people, she values ‘consistency, cleanliness, truth and humility’ and dislikes unkept promises, lies and pretence.
Beverley says that viewers can expect ‘a total packaged African diva to command the right qualities and characteristics of a blunt, sexy go-getter’.

How To Create Killer Content Using Buyer Personas

Killer Content
This is the second part in a three-part series on how to build your online presence for truly social selling, inspired by research from Jon Ferrara, founder and CEO of social CRM developer Nimble.
In my last article, we discussed how you lay the groundwork for a truly socialized-selling strategy by researching and creating a buyer persona.
These ideal customer profiles are crucial for identifying your audience for the next part of this strategy: writing killer content.
Great content is all about being relevant and unique.
This is one of the best ways to guarantee content you spent so much time creating will have a chance at cutting through the clutter.
