Deutsch, New York, was the other finalist. Messner Vetere Berger McNamee Schmetterer/Euro RSCG, New York, the incumbent, did not participate The media account has not yet been awarded.
TBWA wins Outback creative: Outback Steakhouse, Tampa, Fla., named TBWA Chiat/Day, New York, to handle creative for its $35 million account, formerly at McCann-Erickson Worldwide, New York, after a review. Media buying remains at KSL Media and SFM Media Corp., both New York. Outback last week launched its first national cable TV campaign, "Legends of the Outback," with three new :30s produced by free-lancer David Hale.
Victoria's Secret media to KSL: Victoria's Secret Stores, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, awarded its $50 million media buying account to KLS Media, New York, following a review. Creative remains in-house. Tarlow Advertising, New York, was the incumbent.
Senate panel presses tobacco votes: The Senate Commerce Committee, voting on amendments to its tobacco bill, defeated a proposal by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R., Maine) that would have written tobacco ad curbs into law. The committe bill places the restrictions in a protocol that tobacco marketers would have to agree to in order to receive the $6.5 billion-per- year ceiling on liability damages the bill provides. The ad restrictions, tougher than those agreed to by the industry in last year's settlement proposal, bar use of animals as well as people or cartoon characters, and extend the ban to symbols on packaging (outlawing Camel's traditional camel).
Coke to air made-for-Russia ads: Coca-Cola Co., Atlanta, in an unusual move, said it plans a one-day-only broadcast in the U.S. of a five-part series of 60-second TV spots for brand Coca-Cola that were created for the Russian market. The spots, created by Publicis, London, and shot in the Moscow subway and other locations around Moscow and in Siberia, recount the Russian legend of the Firebird and tout Coke with the tag "Drink the legend." The five spots will run April 7 one time each on CNN's "Larry King Live" and on MTV's "MTV Live."

Diet Pepsi will offer free five- or 10-minute phone cards in all 12- and 24-packs through the month of April. More than 87 million free long-distance minutes will be given out. The co-branded cards feature a Diet Pepsi can and MCI Prepaid logo. The Pepsi effort comes as Coca-Cola gears up for its own big summer card promotion with MasterCard.

Newly elected as directors-at-large were: Ken Kaess, president-U.S. operations, DDB Needham Worldwide; Brendan Ryan, chairman-CEO, Foote, Cone & Belding; and Christopher Jones, chairman-CEO, J. Walter Thompson Co. The elections took place at the Four A's annual meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Four A's foundation cites strong start: The AAAA Foundation, New York, reported it received more than $200,000 in contributions since its formation last summer to provide scholarships to multicultural students in the advertising creative arts. The foundation allows the American Association of Advertising Agencies to collect charitable contributions for scholarships and other purposes. Foundation Chairman Ed Wax called the total "a remarkably encouraging start."
Account Action
U.S. Navy Recruiting Command, Washington, awarded incumbents BBDO Worldwide and Rapp Collins Worldwide (direct marketing), both New York, new contracts for recruitment advertising.

How I Marketed My Agency so Well I Turn Clients Away Daily (and You Can Too)
November 1, 2014
Six months ago I was in the same position as many freelancers and agency owners. My professional life was a roller coaster of worrying if I could bill enough this month and then worrying about delivering on time the next. The worst part was that I, like many of you, had accepted my situation as the nature of the business.
Today things are quite a bit different. I get 3–6 new, qualified leads every day, on top of selling consistently to existing (and happier than ever) clients. And the best part is it happens almost entirely without me.
Let's pull back the curtain and walk through how this happened.
A client first has to hear about me or Ethercycle and the services we offer. I've cast a wide net to make that possible.
Help A Reporter Out
For months, I scoured HARO for opportunities to being quoted by blogger and journalists. This doesn't bring clients directly, but it does raise my status as an expert. As a result, if you Google me, you'll find me being quoted as an expert. People using HARO for research are lazy, so if you give them an easy quote that can just copy & paste while supporting the point the article is trying to make, they'll just do it and thank you for it. No fact checking or follow-ups. This is an easy win. Most of the time I did this in ten minutes lying in bed. Trust Me I'm Lying is a great resource on this.
So while HARO gave me vanity points because I can say I've been quoted by or featured in MSNBC, FOX News, NBC, and others, it didn't directly get me the wallet-out ready to buy traffic that I was hoping for.
The next and pivotal thing I did was to sign up for Drip email marketing software. I highly recommend it because it is incredibly easy to use and deceptively powerful. In Drip, I repurposed some old blog posts in to a 5 day email course. I later went on to add an entire year's worth of content in the form of follow-ups and repurposed content to the campaign to keep in touch with potential leads on a weekly basis.
The magic of email marketing automation is that it doesn't involve me after it's been setup. In the past, I'd get busy delivering projects to clients and my marketing would naturally move to the bottom of my to-do list. But If I'm not working on my business, no one else is either. With Drip, my marketing efforts continue relentlessly.
Essentially the Drip campaign does my pre-selling through education. By the time someone gets in touch with me, they've been receiving days, weeks, or months of valuable automated correspondence from me. Once a conversation starts with a prospect, they already know what to expect. Plus there's never a hard sell. I've put the prospective client in control of when they choose to get in touch with me (if ever) assuring I don't hear from them until they're in a stage of the buying cycle where it's not just appropriate to talk numbers, they want to talk budgets.
Creating the campaign was only half the battle to get the leads. I still had to get people to sign up for it. Content marketing is the best way to do that, but that's a broad category. Sure, we write blogs, guest blogs, post in discussions, and engage in some lazy social media marketing using Edgar, but none of those things create a huge impact and they're hard to scale. Fortunately, there is another option: podcasts.
The highest impact form of content marketing by far is podcasts. Specifically, being a guest on other people's podcasts. I've been on a dozen podcasts in the last two months and it has massively raised my authority as an expert and generated traffic and interest for me.
What's your reaction to someone who appears as a guest on a podcast? You probably think they're an expert in their field and they were invited on for their great expertise. And you'd probably be wrong.
I got on my first podcast by asking my friend for an introduction to a podcast he had just been on, then asking the host of that podcast for an introduction to someone else. And then I never stopped with that chain. Heck, now people invite me on as a guest. And I never say no.
Okay, so maybe you don't know anyone who knows a podcast host. That's okay, I have a hack for that.
Running a podcast is hugely time-consuming and booking quality guests is one of the toughest parts. If you can email ten podcasts in your niche and say, "Hey, I can speak to X topic that your audience of Y will find valuable for about 30 minutes next week. If that works for you, I'd love to send over a few questions you can ask," then you've just done all of the work for them and they'll say yes. Once you've gotten on one podcast (and it went well) then ask the host if they can introduce you to another podcast host. If you do that every time you wrap up a podcast, you'll quickly make your way up the ladder with very little effort.
The traffic generated by these podcasts is tremendous. Not because of its volume which is decent, but because listeners of the podcast are highly engaged. They're the most likely of any traffic by far to subscribe to my drip campaign and often contact straight away just to introduce themselves and express gratitude for the value i provided in the podcast. In those situations, even if they don't become clients, my self-esteem appreciates it and I'm glad to have helped someone.
But what about the traffic that doesn't convert. I have a safety net for them too. I use Perfect Audience to retarget visitors to my websites and landing pages. For $25/week, I can have my ads follow my most engaged but bounced traffic around the web like a lost puppy. Definitely worth setting up to keep your brand top of mind.
Marketing Automation as Customer Service
My marketing automation efforts don't stop once someone becomes a client. I've also put together a campaign in Drip for existing clients. When someone signs up, I ask that they voluntarily sign up on the onboarding page. Even if they don't, they'll be automatically added if they make a payment via PayPal or Stripe using some magical integrations. (I told you Drip was powerful, right?)
After that, they'll get one email from me every fourteen days for the next 18 months given the number of emails I have scheduled.
The library of content I use is split into three equal parts:
- Customer service consisting of follow-ups and check-ins
- Valuable info (to keep building trust and authority)
- Up-sells and info about other services and packages
The common thread behind all of my marketing efforts is Value. So long as I'm constantly delivering value in the form of either literal return on investment for clients or actionable advice for growing a business to prospects, I know I'll keep succeeding. My favorite aphorism being "a rising tide lifts all boats."
And hey, if you want to see what that Drip campaign looks like, I wouldn't mind adding you as a subscriber. You can sign up at kurtelster.com and see what the fuss is about.

Gaz Beadle's Geordie Shore future
- Bang Showbiz
- 10 September 2016
Gary 'Gaz' Beadle' plans to focus on his business when he leaves 'Geordie Shore'
Gary 'Gaz' Beadle wants to focus on his own business rather than reality television when he moves abroad.
The 28-year-old hunk's company is fast growing with a team of more than 70 people in the UK, but he has admitted he's planning to move it across to Australia when he leaves 'Geordie Shore' so he has something to "fall back on".
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I won't do 'Geordie Shore' until I'm 70 or 80 years old. I want to move abroad. I want to focus on the behind the scenes of my businesses. I've got like 70 staff, I've got offices.
"I went to one of my offices and I had like 45 people sitting there on a computer and I was like, 'This is getting intense. I'm your boss.' And I'm going in my tracksuit bottoms.
"I've had an amazing time on 'Geordie Shore' but when I leave I have this to fall back on. I'm just interested in the business side of things."
Gaz previously admitted he is hoping to be out of the country in a year, admitting he can't be bothered with reality television for much longer.
He said: "I'm 28 now so I've got another year of this and then I'm off. It's time I quit reality TV. I have been doing it for six years. I can't be a**ed with it any more. I always said I wouldn't be doing it when I was 30."
Meanwhile, the hunky star didn't have a great time during a recent trip to his future home country as he was "banged up in a deportation centre" in Australia for having a "battered" passport.
He explained: "I was due to go to New Zealand last Monday, me and Marty McKenna hit the airport, but I was told I couldn't fly because I had no visa. Once the flight had taken off, they found my visa and I was told I could fly the next day.
"After a night in the Crown Melbourne (I was already in Australia), I headed back to the airport. I'd heard Marty and my manager had both been held in customs for three hours, so by no means did I think it'd be a simple walkthrough to Queenstown airport to reach my suite at the Hilton.
"So, I get to NZ, and you guessed it, after seven hours sitting there, I'm told I'm not allowed in. To be fair, they had previously told me not to come back to New Zealand with my battered passport (which I didn't get changed), so I guess me and the team are to blame there."

Students at a secondary school in South Yorkshire are being tracked by microchips sewn in their uniforms as part of a trial.
The radio frequency identification system monitors pupils' movements, and automatically logs their attendance on the teacher's computer. It can also alert teachers if a student is likely to misbehave.
The trial involves 10 students in whose uniforms this chip was embedded about eight months ago.
Being used at Hungerhill School in Doncaster presently, the chip connects with teachers' computers to show a photograph of the students, data about their academic performance, and whether they are in the correct classroom. It can also restrict access to areas of the school.
However, the new approach of tracking students' movement has drawn criticism from human rights campaigners.
"Tagging is what we do to criminals we let out of prison early. It is appalling," Timesonline quoted David Cleater from Leave Them Kids Alone, which campaigns against the finger-printing of pupils, as saying.
On the other hand, the school's head teacher, Graham Wakeling, has denied that they were adapting a "Big Brother" mentality.
"The system is not intrusive to the pupil in the slightest. The benefit is that it provides the immediate registration of the pupil as they enter the classroom. This supports staff as they are getting to know pupils. All the information it provides is already stored on the school information management system," he said.
He claimed that the children in the trial were the volunteers who are participating in it as a science project.
A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said it intended electronic registration to log attendance on a schools database, not "logging every detail of every pupil via covert means".

Dabe: Lamar women grow around Loyd
Four more Kalis Loyds would be nice.
She leads Lamar women's basketball in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. She plays more than 30 minutes per game. And she could play longer, if coach Larry Tidwell didn't have a heart.
But he does. He knows as well as anybody that Loyd must be at her best in a month if Lamar wants to win the Southland Conference tournament championship.
Not just her. Loyd also needs four players on the floor with her and a couple more on the bench for the Lady Cardinals to succeed.
On Saturday, those needs were met. It wasn't just Loyd who carried the load with 17 points and nine rebounds in Lamar's 70-52 victory against Nicholls State at the Montagne Center.
All five starters scored in double figures, and Gia Ayers continued to show her floor-running skills with seven assists and only one turnover in 32 minutes.
Her 10 first-half points and five second-half assists - some on precise half-court passes to Loyd and Taylor Hays - sparked key runs at the start and then in the second half, after Nicholls trimmed the margin from 12 points to three.
It was quite a performance for a sophomore who struggled to find playing time through the first two months of the season.
She has now started six straight games and is playing well over 30 minutes per game.
For Tidwell, she might as well be Jeremy Lin, the out-of-nowhere celebrity point guard for the New York Knicks who scored 38 points Friday night against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
Tidwell has played five different point guards this season while trying to find a replacement for the graduated Jenna Plumley, whose crowd-pleasing no-look passes and gritty play helped Lamar to successive postseason appearances.
He seems to have found one.
"I guess you go back to the word 'trust,'" Tidwell said. "I struggled handing something over to somebody, and now I really trust Gia at the point. And when you do that, that's when where the trust comes from.
"When you can trust your point guard to run things and make good decisions, you've got to give her a lot of credit."
Lamar's three-game win streak is its longest in league play. Players credit improved defense as the main reason.
They avenged one early-season loss Saturday. They hope to avenge another one Wednesday at Southeastern Louisiana.
They're looking forward to the conference tournament.
"We're going to be a force in this conference," said Tidwell, whose team has six league games left.
There is only one Kalis Loyd. As long as her teammates continue to improve, one is all Lamar needs.

Good time for an Israel Vacation?
I recently had a good 5 weeks vacation overseas, spending the first half of my trip in London, Paris and Stockholm, before flying over to New York and having short city stops in Boston and San Francisco on the way home.
Travelling from New Zealand you lose a good day or two at either end, with both the long flight times, and the inevitable jet lag.
The last time I managed to do a good multi-stop holiday was when I was living in the UK. I did one of those Top Deck group bus packages, which was a great way of seeing the popular sights in some of the main cities in Western Europe (as well as a few days in Prague). I also managed to visit Poland a couple of years back, to catch up with a friend I met working at summer camp in the United States.
There's still many countries and cities on my "To Do" travel list. I want to visit South Africa (I have friends there from both the Top Deck tour and from summer camp days), and also travel to the Middle East, including Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. I've always been a big fan of Egyptian mythology, so the Pyramids and related attractions would be high on my list.
I have also noticed that a number of campers I've kept in contact with from my summer camp days have been reconnecting with their Jewish roots, with vacations to Israel. Some of these I know were in organised groups, which is probably a safe way of doing it considering the volatile nature of that area.
I want to visit Israel to see and experience all of its history, including the historical landmarks and places of biblical significance, like Jerusalem, Mount Zion, the Wailing Wall, the Dead Sea, Bethlehem, and other attractions which seem to be included in religious tours from the main cities.
Although many Americans travel to Israel every day, officially the US State Department has a travel warning in place relating to the potential risks of travelling to Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
They caution Americans in particular to be careful around restaurants, shopping centres, and businesses (especially those of US brands), as well as local bus stations. However, again it sounds like being part of an organised group is the best idea, especially one with a local guide who knows the best places and times to go.
The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) have a strong presence on the streets and around these sorts of places. The sight of armed soldiers is apparently quite common, and I have seen a few photos of friends posing with soldiers (and with their guns in one case), although that's not really a recommended practice!
I know that direct flights do go from major cities in the United States to Israel, although it can be cheaper to go via the UK, and pick up Flights to Tel Aviv from London or other cities there.
I'm hoping to travel with a group when I do manage to organise a vacation to the Middle East. There are good Israeli travel tips here to read up on, to help ensure a safer trip.
One recommendation is to make Israel the last visit on a travel itinerary, to avoid any issues over Israeli passport stamps from countries which don't recognise the Jewish state.

As Americans Await Obamacare, Canadians Wait Longer for Treatment
The Fraser Institute of Canada reports that the median wait-time for a Canadian who needs surgery or other therapies rose to 19.0 weeks in 2011, the longest since the Institute first began tracking wait times in 1993. The wait time for a patient referred by a general practitioner to a specialist rose from a median of 8.9 weeks in 2010 to 9.5 weeks in 2011 (up 156 percent since 1993). Patients can then expect to wait an additional 9.5 weeks before actually receiving treatment from the specialist, up from 9.3 weeks in 2010 (a 70 percent increase since 1993).
Stay Engaged
Under the definition of "median wait time" in the Fraser report, half of all patients get treatment sooner than the median, while half must wait even longer.
Canada has a "single payer" health care system, in which nearly all health care services are paid for by the government, and the private practice (and purchase) of medical services is significantly restricted. Under the pending "Obamacare" law in the United States, the government would assume the cost for most medical treatment through individual insurance subsidies, and private medicine would not be restricted.
Under the Canadian system, bureaucrats and politicians are responsible for determining the "global" budget of all health care services the government will pay for during any given year. Under Obamacare, the amount of spending is theoretically open-ended, but it's likely that future budget deficits will pressure policymakers to impose various forms of direct or indirect rationing to contain costs, as happens in Canada. Restricting the number of providers — and so imposing longer wait times — is probably the most common form of rationing used by government-run health care systems.
The Mackinac Center has produced a series of videos, titled Oh Canada?, documenting the suffering and inconvenience individual Canadians have endured because of excessive wait times for treatment.

Vibrant Illustrations To Let Your Mind Wander
Vibrant Illustrations To Let Your Mind Wander
- By Veerle Pieters
- April 4th, 2017
- 3 Comments
On days when things don't seem to go as you'd like them to and inspiration is at its lowest, it's good to take a short break and go outside to try and empty your mind. That always seems to be the best remedy for me, especially whenever I jump on my bike and go for a short ride.
Now the time has come to enjoy these moments even more as the spring season finally starts to show up in nature. We're starting to see green leaves on the trees again, and every morning I wake up to the sounds of the birds chirping. I really enjoy these small joys of spring — who doesn't? Hopefully this new batch of illustrations will feed your creativity tank with extra vitamins to make sure those inspiration levels are up and running at its best.

Bath Favorites Spotlight
It's funny, but whenever I'm checking out the new additions to ArtFire, the soap draws my eye. I don't make soap, but one day I will try it. I don't buy fancy soaps, but one day I will purchase some of the ones on my Hot List. I love the scents, I love the idea of taking a bubble bath and actually having the privacy to do it and not have the water get cold either! The combination of scents and some of the descriptions are just heavenly!
I've done a bit of reading on making bath and beauty products and am just fascinated by it all. I don't know if I am a disciplined enough cook for making this sort of stuff, though. I tend to be the type of cook that uses a recipe as a guide, I don't measure much, and do guestimate a lot! My cooking usually comes out pretty good, but I think you have to be more of a scientist to make soaps, lotions, and bath fizzies. As my husband likes to say, "cooking is a science" and I always say in return, "no it isn't, its an art"...
This leads to this blog I found, I think it's relatively new as there aren't many posts, but it is called The Holistic Diva and has a great post on bath salts and salt in general. It is definitely a blog that I will keep my eye on!
Hopefully this spotlight will make you want to click on some of the items and do a little bit of shopping!

Show and tell: Coolgreens demonstrates how 'picturing' community health can be profitable
Showing vs telling is always a better way to go when trying to convince someone of something, a principle not lost on restaurateurs these days. Many are embracing visual marketing to show customers that they are fresh, transparent and on board with all things socially and environmentally responsible.
Subway, for example, announced a redesign focusing on counter-area shelves brimming with whole produce, and Italy's Vapiano showcases live trees and potted plants and natural woodfurnishings in some of if its locations. John Vincent, the founder of the health-focused chain, LEON, recently talked to attendees at the Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit in London about how he visually demonstrates to his customers what the brand is about rather than simply telling them.
Another brand embracing the trend is Coolgreens, an 8-year-old Oklahoma-based fast casual brand devoted to quick-serve principles. With seven Oklahoma locations, it's all about health, community and transparency of operations and products.
The visual proof of those ideas starts on the Coolgreens website where a landing page section is devoted entirely to community with a millennial-aged woman mid-yoga-pose. That one image shows the viewers that the brand strives for community connection and health.
Executing health and freshness can be a challenge for many QSR and fast casual brands, which are often forced to rely on packaged and frozen food in bulk to deliver on that "quick" and "fast" promise.
Coolgreens, however, seems to make it work.
"Our goal is to be an active part of the community, inspiring people to build healthful lifestyles," said CEO Robert Lee, who recently discussed with us how he uses visual marketing to help interpret and relay these qualities to each restaurant location's community. "If we can make a positive change, even with a handful of people, then we are achieving our goals. By partnering with like-minded businesses to host community events we expand our outreach, allowing us to positively inspire more people."
Q: Coolgreens focuses in large part on branding itself as a source of community health through food and other initiatives. What do you mean by that?
A: Our goal is to be an active part of the community, inspiring people to build healthful lifestyles. If we can make a positive change, even with a handful of people, then we are achieving our goals.
By partnering with like-minded businesses to host community events we expand our outreach, allowing us to positively inspire more people. By truly believing that fresh food tastes better, every morning we prepare our food fresh, from scratch.
From washing and cutting heads of romaine, hand making soups and salad dressings, fresh cutting and prepping of over 50 different toppings on our line, to cooking our proteins and making our cookies, everything is made in house and always fresh. ... Over the eight years we have been in business, our unwavering passion for fresh allowed us to refine our procedures to ensure efficiency in our food and labor costs.
Q: So how does this vision present itself to the community visually, beyond things like interior design elements and more open kitchen operations?
A: We are a customer focused company, and will always evolve by connecting with our customers and the community.
We see (this by) getting into elementary schools and being able to work with faculty and students to plant vegetable gardens, educat(e) kids on the importance of farming as part of our society and to also show them how good real, out-of-the-ground food can be, instilling in them, too, that pride of community. ...
(Also) Coolgreens connects and partners with other like-minded businesses to host local events. From free yoga classes on a Coolgreens' porch, diet and nutrition classes in on our dining rooms, cross-fit and cycling workouts, among many others, we are proud to have the opportunity to help local businesses grow, while also helping to educate our community about a healthy lifestyle.
Q: On the food sourcing and prep end of a super-fresh, rapidly served concept, are there many challenges?
A:Yes, absolutely. We aren't serving dry goods out of cans and boxes with long shelf life. With eight years of operation, we've certainly had to overcome challenges along the way and I'm sure there will be more in the future. There always are.
By continually refining our procedures, we have found what works, and what doesn't. Without the right practices and procedures in place, it's difficult to control the freshness and quality of your food, your labor costs, all while staying innovative. ...
Supply chain management and sourcing is very important. We work extensively with our vendors and a supply chain management consultant to ensure what we source meets strict guidelines.
We prefer to source locally whenever possible. By identifying farmers, growers, and vendors that meet these strict guidelines, Coolgreens can then ensure quality and consistency and food safety.
We have developed relationships with vendors and supply chain management consultants to perform monthly audits of our pricing, sourcing, and materials. This allows us to ensure stock and sourcing of our items, competitive pricing and market outlooks on seasonal (and) recalled (items) or potential shortages. Coolgreens has been able to establish and strengthen these relationships in the last 12 months, helping us realize double-digit percentage savings across our purchases and sourcing.
Q: How do you instill this vision in employees, so that they're essentially "wearing the brand" too?
A: Training is definitely the key to the success of the community mission. We have to train the trainers, the managers and ultimately the employees on continually speaking our language. Once the employees buy in, good things happen.
Q: You know, when a huge chain like Subway redirects itself (albeit for the second time) to this healthfulness idea, you know the trend is going mainstream. Is that good, bad or somewhere in between for existing players like you?
A: In the past 24 months I've seen many quick-serve concepts pop up attempting to capitalize on the healthy QSR segment. This is both exciting and worrisome.
New concepts help the healthy segment grow and innovate, and give more access to healthy food. I enjoy seeing new concepts and what they have to offer.
While exciting for the segment, I worry that concepts with less focus, refinement, or experience will give potential healthy customers a bad experience, and potential business owners a bad investment.
Q: What kind of food storage, prep and pricing challenges does a quick-service type brand focused on community health and fresh foods face?
A: Pricing is always a factor in the healthy QSR segment. With the quality of our products, the pricing of the items should be relative, within reason. We certainly can't price ourselves outside of the market without the proper procedures in place.
With the short shelf life of our products, and the labor involved with preparing our items daily, we must ensure the procedures we have developed ... are trained and practiced throughout our locations. It's very important very each of our new employees go through our on-boarding and career pathing programs (to) ensure our training is taking place on day one. By refining the information contained in each training and career pathing packet, we help ensure consistency in our products, and control in our costs.
Q: As far as lessons learned about things like research, partnerships and decision-making, have you any thoughts to offer?
A: It's important to note that initial market research can only go so far, including our own. There's simply no substitute for the information we have gained ... since opening our first Coolgreens in 2009.
Equally as important is how we have used this information to influence our planning, procedures and decision-making processes. As a result, we've been able to strengthen our brand, expand our core customer base, innovate our menu (and) increase our efficiencies, all while continuing stay relevant.
Q: So, how does this particular restaurant brand's "garden" approach growth?
A: Our growth strategy is actually fairly simple: We are lifestyle- and community-focused, and are simply looking for more similar markets to the markets that we are currently operating in. Dallas, Houston, Austin, Kansas City, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Denver, Nashville are all vibrant, active markets and that's where we will be headed next.

T'Shanik was a female Vulcan from Vulcana Regar.
In 2364, T'Shanik was one of the Starfleet Academy hopefuls who took the Starfleet Academy entrance exam on Relva VII, along with Wesley Crusher and Oliana Mirren. All three of them lost out to Mordock.
She greeted Oliana by name upon entering the room, then commented that Wesley did not look old enough to meet the age requirement for the exam. Later, she congratulated Mordock on his win. (TNG: "Coming of Age")
T'Shanik was played by Tasia Valenza.
Originally, this character was to have been a Klingon named "Kronos". She was changed to a Vulcan at the behest of Robert Justman.
According to the story "Making A Difference" in the Star Trek: New Frontier anthology No Limits, she had graduated the Academy in 2370 and served as a flight controller on the USS Excalibur.

The Terra Nova Laser 300 Sleeping Bag is an ultralight sleeping bag for summer fastpacking and adventuring. The baffles are stuffed with 900 fill down to surround your body with warmth as you catch zzz's inside your tent. The 50 degree Fahrenheit sleeping bag weighs in at 12 ounces, and packs down to a mere 11"x4.6" size. Those are my kind of measurements.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

Researchers should pay extra attention to ensure advanced robotic systems don't become too autonomous, removing their own design constraints and preventing people from switching them off, an expert has warned.
In a study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence, American scientist Steve Omohundro said autonomous and artificially intelligent systems of all kinds could easily get out of hand. As the requirements placed on various military and civilian robotic systems force engineers to equip those systems with an increasing level of autonomy, a time may come in the not so distant future when robots will be able to make their own independent decisions.
"When roboticists are asked by nervous onlookers about safety, a common answer is 'We can always unplug it!'. But imagine this outcome from the chess robot's point of view. A future in which it is unplugged is a future in which it cannot play or win any games of chess," Omohundro said.
Similarly to people and animals, future robots could develop survival instincts, prompting them to act with their own interests in mind. Such robots could easily develop harmful or anti-social forms of behaviour. They could learn how to acquire resources, engage in cyber-crime or improve their own efficiency by removing design constraints.
Control over such systems could be seized by hackers or be affected by malfunctions. Omohundro said it's not only military killing robots which are dangerous, so are other seemingly harmless robotic systems.
"Harmful systems might at first appear to be harder to design or less powerful than safe systems. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case. Most simple utility functions will cause harmful behaviour and it is easy to design simple utility functions that would be extremely harmful."
To keep robots under human control, Omohundro proposed a sequence of provably safe systems should first be developed, and then applied to all future autonomous systems.
