We started talking about selling crochet to unconventional niche markets last week (Part 1). I told you about photographers and interior decorators, this week I'll introduce you to two more fun markets.
Until last summer I never went to PetSmart. I didn't have anything against the chain, I've never heard anything bad about them. I didn't go because I didn't have pets. They probably weren't bothered by my lack of interest since I wouldn't buy anything there anyway. But, we now have a beautiful Standard Poodle named Prince who joined our family this past summer. Once that happened PetSmart became a normal destination for our family. I now look, see and hear everything they have to offer, because it may benefit my family.
It's kindda like when you want to buy a car. You have one that you love, so you begin to see it everywhere. Once you're mind is tuned-in to the frequency of the thing you want, you're always on the lookout. It's the same with niche marketing. Once you tune your selling to the frequency of the audience you want to reach, they'll start seeing you everywhere.
Last week, we talked about unconventional niche markets for your selling efforts. We talked about how marketing to a specific niche can be a profitable way to grow your sales efforts. I gave you two examples of markets that can be well served by your pieces. Today let's look at a couple more.
Specialty Boutiques
Specialty boutiques shops, all over the country, in tourist areas, that carry all sorts of handmade pieces from everywhere. They're always looking for unique and beautiful items to put into their shops because the more they sell, the better it is for their bottom line. Many crocheted items can be marketed to these boutiques, but please be sure they aren't items that anyone can buy at any craft fair or online. The more unique the item the more likely your offer will be seriously considered.
The nice thing is there are themes to different boutiques so if you love tapestry crochet, there is always a market looking for tapestry. If you love to make wraps, shawls, and scarves that cater to cooler or warmer climates there is a niche for that too. Deciding what type of boutique you want to contact will help you craft not only a great proposal, but great pieces to go with it.
Fashion Stylists
Yes folks, did you know that much of what you see celebrities wear is because they have a stylist that picks out pieces specifically for them?
Did you also know that if you mingle and get to know stylist and they get to know you, they're likely to commission pieces from you? Do you think you could get what you're worth working with those who have the income to hire a stylist? Of course you want to make sure that your pieces appeal to a higher caliber crowd, but the stylist would be able to tell you what her or his clients are looking for and in what colors. Working with stylists can be fun, varied and quite rewarding, but you have to get to know them first.
Oh, one more thing, celebrities are not the only people who use stylist. Many speakers, teachers, business professionals and more use stylists because they don't have the time to shop for themselves. That means you can create your style and market it to those who are styling using pieces that are similar to yours. Can you imagine the possibilities?
Wondering how to find stylists? Run an internet search on 'stylist in YOUR AREA' and you'll be surprised at how many names will come up. Once you do that, the plan is to do your research then contact them with your proposal. It may take some time, but how much fun would it be to see your pieces on a celebrity?
This is also a great way to grow your consumer market because speakers, teachers etc. have friends!
That's it for today. Next week we'll talk about a couple more unconventional niche markets. We'll also talk a little bit about what you need to do to approach your chosen niche market. What good would it to do tell you they're out there and not give you a few good tips to get you started?
In the meantime start thinking about a niche market that you'd love to work with and do some research. The internet is a vast world of everything so just ask it to deliver to you the people you want to connect with. I'm sure it will oblige.

…I was nervous about my first date with HB. I am sure I was anyway. Our first date took place December 1, 2002. We went downtown and had a bite to eat at Doc Chey's. Then went to watch a James Bond movie. We both love James Bond. I even have a Bond girl name. Lovea Bedhead.
It was a nice first date. I remember as we were hugging goodnight–I grabbed his behind. What can I say? It was squeezable.
After that, we were together when we could be.
I can remember where I first told him that I loved him and I know where we were when he told me.
We became engaged New Years Eve of 2003.
We got married May 30, 2004.
We found out we were pregnant with our beautiful daughter July of 2004. Our after the honeymoon baby. :) We were so happy. We wanted a baby together from the beginning.
We had a baby before we celebrated our 1 year anniversary.
So, here it is 2007. Another baby on the way. I wouldn't change a thing.
Happy First Date Anniversary Tomorrow Honey. I'd still grab your behind if I had it to do over. xoxox

Boondall State School is providing a strong start in literacy for the diversity of students attending the school. Early years teachers and the Support Teacher Learning Difficulties (STLD) have established an early years literacy intervention framework, based around the University of Queensland Early Literacy Fundamentals (UQELF � commonly known as the ELF program).
This program focuses on accelerating the early literacy skills of students considered at risk of experiencing literacy difficulties in the future. More than 25 percent of Boondall's students speak another language at home, with about 26 non-English-speaking groups represented in the student population.
In 2003, 28 percent of Year 2 students, 29 percent of Year 3 students and 41 percent of Year 5 students were identified as requiring literacy support.
The ELF program is designed to develop students' phonological and motor skills and provide positive emotional support for these young students to build their literacy skills and confidence in their own abilities. The program also focuses on building the knowledge of teachers and support staff in order to assist students.
The ELF framework uses three intervention strategies: working with students at risk of developing future literacy difficulties, classroom intervention and parent information sessions, and assisting students with severe difficulties.
In 2004, all Year 1 students were screened using tests suggested by the UQELF team. This screening has continued with students in Years 2 and 3.
Boondall State School 's Year 3 Literacy Test results have increased significantly since the ELF program began. The percentage of students identified as being in the bottom 15 percent of the state has decreased from 21.6 percent to 3.9 percent. When compared to National Literacy Benchmarks, 97.4 percent of all Boondall's Year 3 students in 2005 were identified as achieving above the national reading benchmarks and 91.6 percent in writing.
The percentage of staff involved in professional development has increased from 74 percent to 88 percent.
Thornland State School 's SPARKS program aims to rekindle the passion for writing in the school community.
A daily focus on writing and strategies that clearly outline expectations, 'chunk' activities and encourage risk-taking, have seen authorship, confidence and self-esteem improve in the middle school.
Established in 2004, the program gives students daily opportunities to apply their learning in individual writing activities, maintaining a writing folder as a record of their writing for the year.
In 2004 � 05, three students reached the regional finals of the Nestle Write Around Australia Competition. In the 2005 Year 7 Tests, 95 percent of Thornlands students achieved results above the national benchmark for writing. The Queensland average for these tests rose 37 points from 2004, while Thornlands students registered a 92-percent improvement in the same period.
Wynnum North State High's Middle School program embraces a range of middle school philosophies to cater for a wide range of learning requirements at this vital time in a student's education.
Year 8 students have two key teachers, who collaborate to plan cross-curricular units of work. Special education students are integrated into regular classes for most of their lessons with a special education teacher as a 'co-teacher' for each class.
The laptop and sports immersion classes provide vehicles for learning that cater for specific interests and learning styles as well as integrating ICTs into the curricum. Wynnum North's middle school teachers are involved in teaching exchanges with colleagues from across the cluster of primary schools.
All middle school students are involved in an explicit literacy program that is designed specifically for the reading ability of the student.
To round off the program Wynnum North State High enables students to accelerate their learning in Year 9 and participate in special interest and extension programs.
The middle school reading program has achieved an average improvement of
2.3 school year levels for Years 8 and 9 students over two years. Since the introduction of the literacy program, comprehension levels have improved 80 percent.
In 2005 the United Nations declared that education for Sustainable Development was a primary focus and that teaching young people values and an appreciation for their surroundings was paramount for the future success of the planet.
At Mount Gravatt State High School, the Sustainable Futures Program allows all students to make worthwhile changes within the school and local community, and on a personal level.
Students have rehabilitated wildlife corridors, developed green belts within school grounds, established bush gardens and undertaken both recycling and water conservation programs.
The Sustainable Futures Program has enabled senior students to gain real-life, hands-on experience and insight into a variety of career options. Eleven percent of students who participated in the program in 2004 have gone onto further environmental studies, including certificate qualifications in horticulture.
As a result of the program, the school was named Brisbane 's Greenest and Healthiest School in 2005 and is a finalist in the 2006 Healthy Waterways Competition. There has also been an increase of more than 450 percent in the number of students involved in the school's Ecocentre program since 2000, bringing the participation level to around 120 students.
The dramatic renewal of Sunnybank State High School began in 2002, and has resulted in a revitalised school culture that is bringing new opportunities for students to succeed.
This journey of change initially started with a focus on improving student performance, prompted by low achievement levels, Queensland Core Skills Test results and high truancy rates. It has since created an entirely new school culture.
Over the past four years, the school has reshaped teaching practices, co-curricular programs and leadership structures, in addition to strengthening partnerships with the community.
Student life at Sunnybank has undergone dramatic changes and now offers improved academic and social opportunities as part of a refocused approach to the Senior Phase of Schooling. Vocational education options for students have been broadened, with the number of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships increasing by 1025 percent since 2002.
Sunnybank State High School won the 2003 Australian National Quality Schooling Award in School Leadership for their whole-school renewal and the 2005 Premier's Award for the Inaugural Queensland Multicultural School of the Year for their pastoral care program.
There has also been a 34-percent increase in Year 12 graduates taking up full-time employment or further study, with 75 percent of students making these successful transitions.
Greenslopes State School educates children born in 35 different countries. Students learn and grow together thanks to a range of inclusive multicultural programs that help them succeed.
Success for the 'whole child' is paramount at Greenslopes. Social outcomes are as important as academic outcomes.
Success is also reflected in a harmonious school climate. Greenslopes is a place where children from diverse cultural backgrounds feel safe and accepted. Here, all children are valued members of the human race.
The school's New Arrivals Program began in 2001 to meet the needs of newly arrived refugee students and their families. Established in the same year, the Peer Mediation Program empowers older students through the use of strategies to help other children resolve interpersonal problems without aggression. These are combined with an Art Enrichment Program, choir activities and an Italian language program to ensure students from diverse backgrounds have the opportunity to engage in learning.
In 2003, Greenslopes State School 's New Arrivals Program won the Queensland Multicultural Services Award for primary schools for excellence in multicultural education. As a result of the program, no refugee student has been suspended or excluded from the school since 2001. Despite the complexity of its student population and its inherent challenges, Greenslopes State School enjoys a high level of support from its dedicated staff, scoring at least 10 percent above the state average in Staff Opinion Surveys since 2003.
In recent years Junction Park State School has implemented a range of programs to improve learning outcomes, while meeting the diverse educational and social needs of students learning English as a Second Language (ESL).
Many Cultures Make Life Work � Living together; Growing together is an initiative that aims to create for every child and carer from the school's ESL families a feeling of belonging to a school community. The programs developed at Junction Park are designed to help students and their families experience education in its broadest sense, encompassing life skills, nutrition, health, public services and multiculturalism. Homework clubs, sports programs, home visits to isolated parents, conversation groups and a family mentoring program for newly arrived refugees all help to establish links between students, families and the school community to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for students.
Sixty-five percent of the school's ESL student population are refugees, many of whom have only known life in refugee camps before migrating to Australia.
A 50-percent rise in homework club attendance by refugee students to a total of 20 participating students and their families, and a 95-percent attendance rate at the school's first meeting for African parents this year indicate the success of the program. Teachers indicate a 50-percent reduction in playground behaviour incidents and 50 percent more families have been involved in the school's fete activities over the past three years.
Celebration of Young Ideas is a week-long celebration of lifelong learning staged at Kenmore State High School.
The celebration is a collaborative venture of the parents and citizens associations of Kenmore State High and seven local primary schools. Activities include national and international speakers, an artist-in-residence program and a series of events around the theme of 'Young Ideas in...' various fields. The event promotes public education and provides a forum for the local community to reflect on current issues in education.
The first celebration was held in 2005 and attracted a huge amount of interest from local schools and communities. More than 2280 students took part in at least one Celebration of Young Ideas activity, while more than 150 teachers attended the professional development session and more than 150 members of the community attended the public lecture and program.
The celebration has also resulted in a growing sense of energy and identity among an already strong cluster of local schools. One collaborative project that has grown from the collegiality inspired by the celebration is a $96,000 exploration of environmental management being undertaken by cluster schools, local environmental groups and the University of Queensland.
The Mater Hospital Special School (MHSS) has led the way in education innovation with a ground-breaking approach to excellence in education forging strong links between education and health.
In 2003, the school developed Blackboards and Bandaids, a support package featuring an innovative suite of programs to help the wider community support children with health-related issues, their families and their schools. The suite currently includes the Blackboards and Bandaids Conference, the Outreach Program and the Sibling Day Program.
The conference provides education professionals with the latest in research and contemporary management strategies, exploring topics such as cystic fibrosis, mental health and acquired brain injury. The Outreach Program involves liaison teachers providing MHSS staff and students with the latest information on medical conditions to assist in educational planning and transitions from hospital to school. As part of the Sibling Day Program, the brothers and sisters of children with cancer and cystic fibrosis are offered full-day programs to demystify medical conditions, help them understand their siblings' treatment regimes and explore issues of grief and loss.
MHSS teachers have consistently rated the school's inclusive education practices above the state mean for the past three years, with 100-percent satisfaction levels from 2003 to 2005. During 2005, 54 school visits were conducted, representing a total of 42 schools and 41 long-term chronically ill students. Alongside an 18-percent rise in positive feedback from Home School Surveys between 2003 and 2005, there are reports of increased retention rates, better facilitated continuity in education and more effective support for students with chronic illnesses.
Cavendish Road State High School 's quest to raise the focus of science study has been so successful that it is known as a school of excellence in science and human movements.
This reputation is reflected in statistics that show up to 48 percent of Year 8 enrolments in 2005 saw Cavendish Road as the 'science school', compared with two percent in 2000.
Several years before the release of the State Government's Spotlight on Science agenda, Cavendish Road began to specialise in science education, complementing its existing sporting excellence programs. To step up its science capabilities, the school facilitated professional development opportunities for teachers, established partnerships with primary schools and universities and reworked the science curriculum.
The school also chose to specialise in biotechnology and biomechanics given their importance and potential growth in the Queensland economy.
Educational outcomes for Year 12 students with aspirations of a career in science include credit points towards a science degree at Griffith University or an applied science degree at QUT. In 2003, 11 students received accreditation from Griffith University for one biology subject. In 2005, this has grown to 16 students obtaining a biology subject accreditation, four receiving credit for their first year university chemistry studies and 12 students gaining credit for their QUT human movement studies. Of the students exiting the academy in 2005, 68 percent have moved into science-related university courses.
In 2003 the school won a National Quality Schooling Award for its efforts in establishing the Brisbane Academy of Science, winning a Doherty Award in 2004 for success in science education. In 2005 Cavendish Road State High School was named a Specialised School of Science in biotechnology and biomechanics.
Thornlands State School 's Dare to Be There program encourages all students to be leaders and mentors and to achieve their personal best.
By building strong social relationships, students become powerful role models for others, both academically and socially. Through a rich program of activities, students are empowered to develop life skills and self-esteem, and to participate in building strong links in their own communities.
Established in 2003, the initiative includes the CATS (Children At Thornlands School) social skills program, a Big Buddy program of friendship and mentoring activities to build a sense of community among students, and a range of intervention activities that involve Years 6 and 7 student leaders focus helping to solve the difficulties students may face in the curriculum, especially in reading. The CATS program is available in hard copy and on CD-ROM for teachers to access and update when necessary.
Students graduating from Thornlands in 2004 and 2005 left with performances above the state average in maths, spelling and reading. Improved academic performance has been achieved across the board. In 2000, 33 percent of Year 2 students needed additional reading support and 20 percent requiring support in numeracy. In 2003, when these students were in Year 5, 18.7 percent were identified in the bottom 15 percent in the state in reading. When these students were in Year 7 in 2005, this percentage was halved to 8.9 percent.
Virginia State School has been officially recognised as national leaders in music education.
As the national winners of the recent ABC Classic FM and Play for Life FLAME Awards, Virginia has changed its approach to music education over the past three years, and succeeded in developing a music program that involves the entire school community. The Finding Leaders in Australian Music Education Awards have recognised the innovation of this dynamic school initiative.
With only one specialist teacher for class and instrumental music, a great deal of help from other teachers, administration, parents and the community, this small north Brisbane school offers an incredible array of exciting musical opportunities for both its student and adult population.
Established in 1995, Virginia State School 's music education program has undergone a process of refinement that started with the appointment of a full-time music teacher in 2003. The school now boasts a whole-school choir of 336 students, a 96-strong concert band featuring students, parents and staff members, stage band, jazz vocal group, wind and percussion ensembles, a rap group and assorted stage managers, sound engineers, roadies and comperes.
There has been a 20-percent increase in voluntary student participation in the junior choir since 2003, while 50 percent of eligible students in Years 5 to 7 take part in the instrumental music program. Retention rates in the instrumental music program have increased by 60 percent over the past 11 years.
Kenmore State High School 's academic success over time rests firmly on its philosophy that every student can 'Learn more' and 'Be more' as part of the Kenmore High family.
The school's outstanding student performance record over time is a result of key practices and activities that focus on providing opportunities for parents to play a meaningful role and providing students with rich, rigorous experiences and teaching programs. Growing the range of specialist programs on offer is also a priority, as is developing real community engagement, celebrating world-class quality and committing to innovation.
Parents have a range of opportunities in which to engage in their children's education, from the school council and parents and citizens' association to focus groups and network support groups for curricular and co-curricular activities. Preparing students for senior studies is the theory behind the exciting range of curriculum experiences on offer at Kenmore State High. These include such choices as international trade, animation and Japanese enhancement. Specialist programs include German immersion, music extension and multiple science options, thanks to the school's status as a Biotechnology School of Excellence.
Community links have enabled school teams to establish a community sports club and run a career expo in conjunction with the local Chamber of Commerce, while business and science teachers have established a mentoring program with local universities.
Since its inception in 1998, Kenmore 's program is bringing rewards, with the number of students obtaining OP scores of 1 more than doubling in the past five years to eight students in 2005. From 2002 to 2005 students consistently achieved sound achievements or better in more than 90 percent of all subjects. An impressive 64 percent or more of these results were high achievements or better, with only 0.3 percent of students achieving low or very low scores.
French has been offered at Mansfield State High School since the school was established in 1974. Over the ensuing years, the subject department has demonstrated a commitment to excellence.
The sustained performance of students has been achieved through continued enhancement of teaching practices, upgrading language proficiency, an innovative and inclusive curriculum and a commitment to providing top quality resources and facilities.
As a School of Academic Excellence, Mansfield offers students a range of options, such as studying junior maths and Studies of Society and Environment in the French language, and university level French in the senior school. Depending on their skills and goals, students may move between the junior and senior programs.
Mansfield State High's French language resources feature a comprehensive range of annual subscriptions to magazines and journals, a CD and DVD library, computer programs, student texts and online resources. The school's French teachers are a highly skilled team of language educators who are involved in cultural and community activities.
Online communication with French-speaking students in New Caledonia, France and Switzerland enrich students' experiences of language and culture, while each French classroom is equipped with a full range of multimedia facilities.
Students participating in Mansfield 's French program have won numerous awards and achieved outstanding academic results, with 25 percent of these students receiving an OP of between 1 and 5 last year. Around 56 percent of Year 12 students obtained high or very high achievements in French in 2005.
The Zupps/Education Queensland partnership employs 25 school-based motor technician apprentices every year in state schools from the Gold Coast to northern Brisbane.
Based at Zupps' Mount Gravatt base and Coorparoo Secondary College, the program has operated since 2003.
Zupps Motors has 13 branches from Burleigh Heads to Aspley. Each year 25 school-based apprentices take up work placements across these branches. At the end of Year 12, the school-based apprentices become second-year apprentices at their base branch.
Selected Year 11 and 12 students have the opportunity to integrate industry experience into their secondary education.
Every school-based apprenticeship established under the program so far has continued onto a full-time apprenticeship. Seventy-five school-based apprentices are currently completing industry placements and training with Zupps and the Moreton Institute of TAFE. Since 2003, the program has delivered 25 motor technician apprentices into full-time employment with Zupps.
Students at Grovely State School really know how to put on a celebration. In 2005 the school was approached by Riverfestival to host an unprecedented event � a feast of food and culture, which became known as Harvest in the Grove.
A collaboration with Riverfestival, Grovely TAFE, QUT's Creative Industries faculty and the Grovely school community was forged, and the students embarked on a term of preparations. They grew the food, created artworks and crafted performances. The finale was a magical evening of dance, music, light, colour and fine food enjoyed by 260 guests.
It was a triumph of teamwork with an enduring legacy of strong community partnerships and involved students in practical learning activities across the curriculum. Hospitality, gardening, literacy, performing arts, science, technology and physical education all came into play in the lead-up to the event, which involved all of Grovely's 260 students. Twenty-seven of these students have a disability and 24 others are Indigenous.
The inclusive nature of the project can also be seen in the school community, which provided 20 parent volunteers for the event. A TAFE horticulture course is running at the school as a result of the project, and Grovely is continuing to work with QUT's Creative Industries faculty to plan an arts festival as the centrepiece of the school's 50th birthday celebrations this year.
Through a unique partnership initiative, student reporters from state primary and secondary schools in the Wynnum Manly Cluster provide news and photographs from their schools to the local Quest Newspaper, the Wynnum Herald.
The young journalists use the cluster's website to upload material to their school's individual online portfolio, which provides a web-based platform for editing, uploading of photographs and communicating via email.
The initiative allows newspaper-related skills to be fostered at school level, in addition to sharing news with other local schools and the community. Most importantly, it provides the editor of the Wynnum Herald newspaper with current school happenings. All schools actively participate by submitting articles to a dedicated cluster website, the editor is then able to select school news articles and provide a balanced view of activities in educational institutions across the Wynnum Herald distribution area via the newspaper's special 'Education' category.
In addition to the obvious benefits for students' writing and technology skills, the initiative has resulted in a 46-percent increase in stories published about schools in the Wynnum Manly Cluster since the program began in 2005. One-hundred percent of teachers surveyed as part of the initiative's evaluation phase indicated that the program offered students real-life opportunities to publish their written work, while 73 percent of teachers said they used the program as an extension activity for gifted writers.

Towards dependable swarms and new discipline of swarm engineering
Winfield, A. F., Harper, C. and Nembrini, J. (2004) Towards dependable swarms and new discipline of swarm engineering. In: Swarm Robotics, SAB 2004 International Workshop, Revised Selected Papers, Santa Monica, CA, USA, 17th July, 2004., pp. 126-142 Available from: http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/5908
Full text not available from this repository
The original shorter paper was given as an invited talk at the SAB '04 workshop on Swarm Robotics. Selected papers were invited to be extended and following further full review were published in this volume in the highly-regarded 'state of the art review' series of LNCS. The paper sets out a roadmap for 'Swarm Engineering', a disciplined and rigorous methodology for engineering complex distributed systems based on the swarm intelligence paradigm into which one could place a high degree of reliance for e.g. safety-critical systems. This paper led directly to invitations for [1] the author to attend and speak at the EPFL Summer Research Institute (2005); [2] to co-organise the 2006 SAB Swarm Robotics Workshop resulting in LNCS Volume 4433 and [3] to join the IARP working group on Dependable Robots in Human Environments(2007).

- Abstract:
- Recent steep declines in honey bee health have severely impacted the beekeeping industry, presenting new risks for agricultural commodities that depend on insect pollination. Honey bee declines could reflect increased pressures from parasites and pathogens. The incidence of the microsporidian pathogen Nosema ceranae has increased significantly in the past decade. Here we present a draft assembly (7.86 MB) of the N. ceranae genome derived from pyrosequence data, including initial gene models and genomic comparisons with other members of this highly derived fungal lineage. N. ceranae has a strongly AT-biased genome (74% A+T) and a diversity of repetitive elements, complicating the assembly. Of 2,614 predicted protein-coding sequences, we conservatively estimate that 1,366 have homologs in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi, the most closely related published genome sequence. We identify genes conserved among microsporidia that lack clear homology outside this group, which are of special interest as potential virulence factors in this group of obligate parasites. A substantial fraction of the diminutive N. ceranae proteome consists of novel and transposable-element proteins. For a majority of well-supported gene models, a conserved sense-strand motif can be found within 15 bases upstream of the start codon; a previously uncharacterized version of this motif is also present in E. cuniculi. These comparisons provide insight into the architecture, regulation, and evolution of microsporidian genomes, and will drive investigations into honey bee–Nosema interactions.

Best Use of Social Media: 2014
PadillaCRT and Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR)
CHoR's "Roar" Heard Nationwide
PadillaCRT's holiday campaign for Children's Hospital of Richmond (CHoR), part of the VCU Medical Center, included robust social media elements that drove tremendous engagement and helped elevate the hospital's profile.
"Amazing reach, content, and engagement for the dollar," one judge noted. "It was really about patients and thanking the community that makes the hospital work."
One of the most engaging and creative elements was a lip-dub music video to Katy Perry's "Roar" featuring patients, staff and players from the VCU basketball team.
Audiences were asked to share a six-word message of cheer, some including photos, with the hashtag #SpreadCheer and / or text to donate.
Partnerships with social media influencers and Young House Love, a Richmond, VA-based DIY blog with a national following run by a husband and wife who have a young child also drove engagement.
Thanks to the campaign, CHoR's Facebook and Twitter audience increased 2,000% in December. The video got 100,025 views (1,200% over goal) with an 87% viewer retention rate (13% above goal). Traffic to CHoR's blog jumped 300% in December compared to November 2013 (210% compared to December 2013).
"Great creative, and great results across multiple social platforms and PR," said a second judge.
Heartbeat Ideas & Heartbeat West and Corcept Therapeutics
Cushing's Connection
This campaign engaged Cushing's syndrome patients through Facebook and Twitter posts that ask questions and include videos, inspirational information and more.
Judges were impressed by patient impact and other results, which include nearly 30,000 Facebook likes and 677 Twitter followers as of mid-August 2014.

His Story
My name is Kevin. . I am twenty one now and times are tough but I have a very optimistic view for the future as a sober being. When I was younger, I was active in many sports and every sport I played. I was one of the best! I learned how to ride a bike very young and was pretty dependent as a 4-6 year old. I remember leaving the house without telling anyone and I would go to a friend's house. In elementary school, I had good remarks and I played basketball, soccer, baseball and football with my friends.
After sixth grade I switched schools because we moved. I had to leave all of my friends behind, which made me very sad. It took some time but I adjusted to the change.
At 14yrs I attended a big high school called Lakewood High. There, I played Varsity Golf my freshman year and was number four on the team. We set all kinds of records. My grades also were good in the ninth grade. My sophomore year was a bit different. (I never skipped class), but for some reason I started skipping and my grades started falling. During that period I was tested for ADHD and found out that I had it. Being diagnosed with that my parents decided to switch me to a smaller private catholic school called Cardinal Mooney. I loved it there, it was the best decision that could have been done. There, I became very religious, played Varsity Golf and Basketball. It was the best time of my life. I rarely partied and did no drugs. During my free time I played basketball all night and golfed all afternoon. I was very active and independent. I started to chew and use tobacco when I was 16 years old, but when I took up baseball I quit smoking to chew.
I feel that my addiction started when they prescribed me adderall for my ADHD. The first time that I ever smoked pot was with my two sisters and my aunt. After that I never really tried smoking for a while. But after I graduated high school I began to smoke a little. It wasn't until my 19th birthday that I began smoking more. And at about that time everything started going downhill.
On August 30th 2007 I had about a dozen people at my place for my birthday and when the night ended there was a girl that was going 80mph with no seatbelt, crashed into a tree and died. I got charged with open house party and that really hurt me. That school year was over, I moved back home and started to work, play golf more and go to school. On October 2008, I began using Roxy's. By February I told my parents I had a drug problem. I did a four day detox and stayed clean for a bit, but for the next four months I was on and off roxy's. by June 1st I was using everyday and my addiction began to control me and everything around me. I began stealing more and although I was lying to everyone. I began lying even more.
Even with my addiction, I was able to have a 4.0 gpa and I would practice golf everyday. So I guess I just felt that it was ok.
By august, I began shooting Roxy's again and using more. I turned 21 on August 30th, the morning after I was in jail. With possession charges.
My life was Fxxked up and now I am dealing with everything head on and I know if I can beat this, then I can achieve anything.

UK loans have hit their highest rates for nine years, yet with differences in tiers so wide, oddly, it may be cheaper to borrow more money than you need, so check.
With rates as high as 18.7% for small amounts, borrowing a little bit more may move you into a substantially cheaper band (see the Cheap Loans guide for detailed best buys).
The table below highlights the cheapest rates available for each tier:
Loan amount
Cheapest standard interest rate
Under �2,000
�2,000 - �4,999
�5,000 - �7,500
Borrowing more can mean paying less overall
While it's not unusual that when you borrow more you pay a lower interest rate, it rarely means you pay less overall once you've paid the loan amount back. Yet currently exactly that is happening.
- Borrowing �2,000 costs less than �1,900 over three years
Because of the interest rate, you will pay LESS overall if you borrow �2,000. For example, the monthly repayment on �1,900 at 18.7% is �69, a total repayment of �2,484. Whereas �2,000 at 13.9% is �68 a month, �2,448 overall, a �36 saving, and you've got an extra �100.
- Borrowing �5,000 costs the same as �4,460 over five years
For example, �4,460 at 13.9% means you repay �6,212, exactly the same as borrowing �5,000 at 8.9%. But you've then got over �500 more in the bank.
How to check
It's important to be careful, don't think just because a loan has a low interest rate that it's cheaper. Usually, borrow more and it costs you more even at a lower rate.
What's happening here is an unusual anomaly due to the huge difference in rates between different bands. To work out if you could gain by borrowing more, you need to find out the TOTAL repayment of the loan over the term.
Even if it's cheaper is it sensible to borrow more?
While normal borrowing logic says the less you borrow the better, if you're at the edge of the boundaries, the sensible solution is borrow a bit more, but don't spend it. Put it in the bank and use it towards your first repayments.
An alternative option for those who are careful is to use special credit cards which can be turned into loans, where the interest rate can be as low as 5.6% APR for smaller borrowing (see Credit Card Loans guide for full info).

2016 Nov by Frank J Britton
Came down on bus from RAK, it drops passengers off on main road into town but does nt pick up on route to Dubai. Met Russian on his own odyssey. Took taxi to museum. This beautifully restored 1768 fort served as the local ruler's residence and seat of government until 1969. Surrounded by old cannons and British made armoured vehicles outside. Highlights inside include the fine majlis (meeting room), old Bedouin jewellery and pearling boat. Later took shared taxi to Ajman past a coastline that seems to be a magnet for the building of big houses, hotels and other developments.
2013 Apr by Franklin Murillo
I drove from Ajman into UAQ in my rental car always with the air conditioner on, it was so hot. Nothing much has happened here since 2008 when I last visited the area. I stopped by the museum which was closed and then to the post office. This sleepy Emirate does not offer a tourist a reason to spend more than two hours here. I continued my drive north to Ras Al Khaimah.
Leaving Ajman we continued north to Umm Al Qaiwain. This Emirate during the summer can get very hot and humid. The museum had see through plastic doors to keep the cold air inside. We were the only ones at the museum besides a film crew. The film crew requested our assistance in being in their film for a tourist video on the Emirates. The museum has many interesting displays but thats about the only place of importance in this small emirate. We continued driving north to Ras Al Khaimah.

In my way to Ras Musandam my bus made a stop in the corner with Umm Al Qaiwain, where I got off because I wanted to know something more or Umm Al Qaiwain than the main road.
I started to walk until a taxi offered me a ride, but I said that I wanted to walk. The driver, a Pakistani, persuaded me saying that the fortress/museum was very far away and since he had to go there proposed to take me for a few dirhams, like a bus ticket, and I accepted.
It was not very far, perhaps 3 kilometers to get to the fortress, a very short distance for me, that I am used to walk a lot, but I was not angry because the driver was very nice.
First the driver stopped for me in front of a big mosque and later on, after showing me on the road other historical places, he dropped me in front of the fortress where I spent a few hours visiting the places around. When the night fell I slept in an indian hotel.
The next morning I took a bus to the main road and continued my journey in direction to Ras Musandam.
2007 Feb by Walter Jackson
I took a trip along the coast while I was in Dubai on business. Our tour took us as far North as Umm Al Quwain, through Sharjah, Ajman and back to Dubai. We did a desert safari in Umm Al Quwain, Sharjah, with quad bike racing in Ajman. It was a wonderful trip with camel rides, dune riding, skiiing down hill on the sand, 4x4's and we ended with a traditional feast somewhere in the desert. I don't know whether it was in Ajman, Sharjah or Umm Al Quwain! We had local food, sat on carpets, smoked the local pipes and watched (and participated) performances by belly-dancers.
2006 Nov by Michael Novins
November 2006 -- I took a shared taxi from Ras Al Khaimah to Umm Al Qaiwain, where I visited Umm Al Quwain Museum, established in 1768 as the residence for the Emiri family.
1992 Jan by Veikko Huhtala*
During our two weeks holiday in UAE, we visited all seven states of it. We travelled from Dubai to Ras al Khaimah and stopped to Umm al Qiwain as well. Today Umm al Qiwain is a popular tourist destination with nice beaches and warm climate around the year. In 1992 it was completely different and tourists were just found it.

Elon Musk Joins Call for Global Ban on Killer Robots
Elon Musk has pledged his support to a global ban on lethal artificial intelligence, with the Tesla and SpaceX founder the most prominent figure in a group of 116 robotics experts who believe that the killer robots will lead to a "third revolution in warfare."
Musk and fellow experts from around the globe have called upon the United Nations to ban autonomous weaponry, releasing an open letter in order to warn of the dangers that AI warfare will present. "Lethal autonomous weapons threaten to become the third revolution in warfare," the letter reads. "Once developed, they will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend."
Also: Disney Develops Facial Recognition Technology to Watch Audiences
Musk has been a vocal opponent of unregulated AI development, with the entrepreneur having regularly warned of the dangers that such technological advancements could lead to. His comments were later criticized by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who argued that those opposing AI advancement were "trying to drum up doomsday scenarios." Musk fired back by stating that Zuckerberg's "understanding of the subject is limited."
Ryan Gariepy, Clearpath Robotics founder and the first person to sign the open letter, discussed the threat of AI weaponry in a statement (via CNN). He said: "Unlike other potential manifestations of AI, which still remain in the realm of science fiction, autonomous weapons systems are on the cusp of development right now and have a very real potential to cause significant harm to innocent people along with global instability."
The open letter wants the High Contracting Parties to "find a way" to prevent the threat of AI weaponry, with those who have signed it eager to "offer technical advice" to the United Nations. It remains to be seen whether or not the UN will take Musk et al up on their offer, but with such a wide array of experts having given offered their support to them, it would be a wise decision for them to do so.

Franchise Software Helps Swedish Business Prepare for Franchising at Pace
Franchise Software Helps Swedish Business Prepare for Franchising at Pace
MALMO, SWEDEN--(Marketwired - Jan 27, 2014) - Chainformation, a leading provider of franchise software and franchise intranets, today announced that ABC-Ställningar, a Scandinavian Scaffolding Services Company, has implemented the CCM franchise software platform. A case study of the software implementation can be found here.
ABC-Ställningar, which is rapidly expanding and servicing companies such as Skanska and PEAB, will use the CCM platform to provide franchisees with:
"We sought to partner with someone that had technical expertise and also a deep understanding of the franchise industry. When we learnt about Chainformation and saw their CCM franchise software in action, we knew that they could help our organization get ready to franchise quickly," says Björn Bjelkenstedt, CEO at ABC-Ställningar.
ABC-Ställningar operates in an industry where safety is paramount. As a franchise, this places emphasis on training franchisees how to prevent accidents and preserve the health and safety of all employees, sub-contractors, and visitors.
To capture these safety-critical work processes, Chainformation developed an online operations manual using WorkMap™, a proprietary methodology that results in better operations manuals that require less administration at lower cost. By using WorkMap™, a franchisor is typically able to reduce the volume of an existing manual by between 35-45%.
The implementation of the CCM platform, which included integration with an ERP-system, took under two weeks. In a next step, ABC-Ställningar intends to implement a media asset module to provide franchisees with marketing support.
"Working with ABC Ställningar is extremely exciting. Not only does it show that our franchise software is an excellent fit also in industries that are not franchise-typical, but also that we can help organizations who are on the verge of franchising their business, or have very few franchise processes in place. Our franchise software and methodology gets you ready to franchise at scale, and pace," says Anders Hall.
For more information, please visit www.chainformation.com
About Chainformation
Chainformation is a developer of franchise and retail software that helps equip work forces with timely, relevant and critical know-how. Clients include franchise and retail chains such as Colorama, Wayne's Coffee, and O'Leary's. The company is headquartered in Malmö, Sweden.
The CCM franchise software platform is cloud based and ready to be used out of the box.

I have bad news, guys. Please don't scream. It's kind of a confession.
...I'm a prog fan. D:
I don't know when it happened. ..actually, yes, I do. I've been slowly becoming one over the course of the past five years. I became an official pretentious ponce around the time I met some random guy on Omegle who couldn't understand the point of a song that's longer than ten minutes. When you defend bands such as Genesis and Dream Theater for their musical abilities and songwriting talents, rather than defending bands like Megadeth and.. well, Genesis, for melodic gifts... I guess that's when you become a true prog fan.
Allow me to elaborate.
Prog- noun, abrev. - "Progressive rock," or, in some cases, "Progressive metal." A musical genre that is pretty damn tough to literally define. Often recognized for how fucking awesome it is its many similarities with jazz and classical music, it was mainly popular back in the 60s and 70s.
Allow me to elaborate in a different way.
If music were literature, The Beatles would be.. I dunno, Ernest Hemingway or somebody. Metallica would be Stephen King. Justin Bieber would be... Twilight. >_> Yes, Twilight is an author now. Shut up. To give an example of prog, Rush would be Orson Welles. Genesis would be some modern form of Homer. Pink Floyd would be.. uh.. hm. Pink Floyd would be JD Salinger-- really popular, doesn't care much for mainstream shit, only wrote about one particularly good book. Now Dream Theater... hoo, boy. Dream Theater would be..
I don't know! I do not know. At all. o_o If I could compare Dream Theater to anybody in the world, I'd compare them with Christopher Nolan. Hasn't directed a bad movie yet, in my opinion, though I haven't really.. SEEN many of his movies. <_< He made Inception, though. Inception is the first ever movie I've seen that I could not criticize. Shit, I even criticized some parts of Citizen Kane! In other words, I love Mister Nolan, and I love Dream Theater.
I still have not done a very good job of describing prog. I guess I haven't gone with the textbook definition yet.
Prog is, basically, music that does not follow any common song structures. It is a lot like jazz in the sense that it often features long, improvisational instrumental sections. A lot of the time, prog songs tell stories, rather than are about some single concept. In Dream Theater's case, a band might make a certain album about one concept, and make the individual songs about stories based around the concept.
Due to its uncommon structure (rarely will a prog song follow "Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus") and extended sections, prog songs may clock in at anything from thirty-three seconds to fifty-six minutes, and beyond. Oftentimes, bands will write entire suites, so that's cool, too. :D One particularly famous suite is "2112," by Rush. It's only twenty minutes, though. xD Even Genesis has written longer than that ("Supper's Ready," 23 minutes).
Fun fact: Prog bands can feature weird-ass instruments. A few bands out there feature floutists, or other odd instruments.
...well.. yeah, there ya go. I'm turning into a prog fan. The bad part about that is that prog fans are pretentious, ostentatious, elitist pricks. 8D I already hate songs that have longer choruses than they do verses. D: And songs that rely too much on 4/4 aren't necessarily my favourites. One of my favourites, "The Cinema Show" (Genesis) features an extensive 7/4(ish) synth solo. :DDD Oh, and I dislike Pink Floyd because they seem to be the only prog band anybody might possibly know, and I'm not too fond of their almost generic-sounding.. sound. Rush is good, though, even though they can be considered to be even more mainstream than Floyd. :P EMOTICONS
I will write more on this in a later entry.
