The family of young battler Bradley Lowery has launched an appeal for smiles from people touched by cancer.
They are looking for video clips to show how the cruel disease affects all ages and how strong these people are, which will be pulled together into a video.
The appeal coincides with the announcement that Hartlepool sister act Olivia Crawford and Georgia Fletcher aka Liv'n'G are to release a cover of Charlie Chaplin's 'Smile' in aid of Bradley.
A post on the Bradley Lowery's Fight Against Neuroblastoma Facebook page read: "We are looking for clips of families, young people, anyone who has been touched by cancer.
"We want to show how all ages can be affected, and how strong these people are, smiling through the pain.
"They can be taken on a phone (landscape if possible) and sent to email@example.com
"We want to put as many clips into the video as we can."
The post added: "Bradley Lowery and his family have touched the hearts of the nation and the world, he has made us aware of the awful disease cancer and its effects, on him and his family.
"Yet through all of his treatment, all of his pain, he has shown the world such strength, and hope, in a time when the world needs hope; with something as simple as a smile.
"It is so fitting that recently Bourne Music Co, based in New York gave us the rights to record and release the fantastic Charlie Chaplin song 'Smile'; the lyrics added in 1954 by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons giving it a sense of 'melancholy and optimism' making it the song that everyone knows today.
"A firm favourite with Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban, it has been recorded by a plethora of huge artists.
"Liv'n'G are releasing the song in aid of every person fighting, surviving, and with the heart and strength to smile, on June 23 and for pre-order June 16.
"It would be amazing to get clips of you guys from around the world smiling, just take it on a phone (landscape / sideways) and send the clip to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the email please let us know your name, age and where you are in the world, and also add that you allow us to use the clip in the video."

The film Argo capped its domination of Hollywood's award season with an Oscar win for best picture Sunday night.
The honour once again brought attention to the central role Canadians played in the 1979 Iranian hostage drama which inspired the film. Controversy over Canada's role in the hostage rescue mission has dogged the film, directed by Ben Affleck, since Argo debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last September.
Ken Taylor, a former Canadian ambassador to Iran whose heroics formed the backbone of the narrative, has made no secret of his disillusionment at the film's minimization of the Canadian role in the dramatic rescue of six U.S. citizens. "I think it is a genuine concern and a very legitimate one," Mr. Taylor said in an interview before the Oscar ceremony. "We worked very well with the CIA – both the Canadians in Ottawa and in Tehran."
"I want to thank Canada," Mr. Affleck said as part of his rushed, energetic acceptance speech. Chris Terrio, who accepted the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for Argo, also made a point of thanking Mr. Taylor specifically in his acceptance speech.
Mr. Taylor applauded former U.S. president Jimmy Carter for appearing on CNN on Thursday night to assert that "90 per cent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian."
"I think it was pretty well clarified by President Carter's remarks," Mr. Taylor said Sunday.
Mr. Taylor said that, while the CIA did contribute significantly to the rescue, history must reflect that it was overwhelmingly a Canadian mission.
"I wouldn't want to leave it with young Canadians that we were sort of carried along by the CIA," he said. "It was a cooperative venture and the two countries worked very well together."
However, nothing appeared to dim a swell of patriotism Americans felt for the Iranian rescue escape and Mr. Affleck's personal status as a fan favourite on Oscar night.
Shouts of "Ben! Ben! Ben!" greeted Mr. Affleck as he arrived on the red carpet.
Argo racked up numerous awards this season, including best picture nods at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards and the Screen Actors Guild awards, and the Golden Globes (where Mr. Affleck also won the award for best director.) However, in what was widely perceived as a curious snub, he was not nominated for an Oscar in the best director category.
In a statement issued over the weekend, Mr. Affleck reiterated his admiration for Mr. Taylor's effort to rescue the hostages.
"I consider him a hero," Mr. Affleck said in the statement.
The Argo dispute centred primarily on a postscript at the end of the film which inferred that the CIA permitted Canada to get more credit than it deserved.
Mr. Affleck later assuaged much of Mr. Taylor's anger by flying him to Los Angeles and allowing him to write a new postscript that more accurately reflected Canada's role.
Today, Mr. Taylor praised Mr. Affleck and the movie he directed.
"I think the movie is great," Mr. Taylor said. "It's tense and extremely well-directed. It reflects on the nature of diplomacy in a dangerous neighbourhood."Report Typo/Error

Karen & Amelia
Karen & Amelia
Karen & Amelia
Karen is a married mum with a new baby Amelia. Her husband Robbie is in the merchant navy and works away from home for months at a time.Read More
Karen is keen to make sure that Amelia keeps a good connection with Robbie. Every day, she shows pictures of Daddy – and plays his voice – to Amelia.
Karen likes to keep busy, chatting to Amelia all day. But, while it's great being a mum, she sometimes misses grown-up company. A trip to the local library for a free Bookbug Session proves the perfect answer. It's fun for little ones and grown-ups also have a chance to chat together. "It's so welcoming," says Karen. "Everyone understands what you're going through. You can really find new friends."
"I was a bit worried that Amelia might have forgotten me," says Robbie. He's been away working at sea for four months – since his baby was just a tiny tot. "But me and Karen worked hard to make sure I was still in her life."Read More
Coming home, Robbie has to re-adjust to the daily demands of being a Dad. "You do forget the simple stuff, like how to put a nappy on." he says. "But it soon comes back to you. It's great fun too. Kids are entertained by the daftest things. Singing to them, doing funny voices or just dancing round the room with them. They love it."
It's a hard life being away from home. But Robbie feels it's vital to spend time bonding with baby Amelia. "You don't always know if you're doing a good job," he admits. "You just do your best, and that's what matters."
"She's started crawling, standing up and walking – I've got to have eyes in the back of my head," says Karen. Since the last episode baby Amelia has started to explore the world around her.
Dad has gone back to sea and he's been sending Amelia videos everyday. You'll melt when Amelia's wee face lights up when she recognises her dad on Karen's phone. And even though she can't quite communicate herself, Karen knows Amelia understands – "I can't wait to hear her talk, I love her wee laughing voice – it's just incredible."
Tori, Karen's best friend, tells us about Karen and Amelia's close bond – "They've got a very good relationship, a strong connection… when she grows up she'll be proud that Karen's her mum." Karen talks about how the PlayTalkRead website has helped her find things to do – things that don't cost money and as Karen says "seeing them learn and know that you've helped them is the best feeling ever."

I might've have considered it.
Dena Leichnitz
United States
While I have never had an abortion. I have been told by my son's father that he would pay for an abortion but he wouldn't pay for child support. I told him what he could do with his money! So I understand how women can be coerced into abortion. It was my wonderful, good fortune that I didn't love the man otherwise I might've have considered it. However, my pregnancy did awaken something in me. I had always been pro-life. No matter what my circumstance was, no matter how my views fluctuated on other things, my pro-life beliefs never faltered-even so my son made them unbelievably strong. It was then I started doing research and what I learned was appalling. I learned that women were being forced into abortions, I learned about the psychological and physical damage, I learned about the deaths, I learned about the child in the womb. The more I learned the more angry I got, I had to do something. So I decided to write a book (still writing it) and I came across Alveda King's testimony. I contacted Silent No More to ask if I could use it, I got a yes and a request to be a Regional Coordinator and as they say the rest is history.

People of any age can have a milk allergy, but it's more common in infants (affecting about 2% to 3% of babies). Many kids outgrow it, but some don't.
When a baby is allergic to milk, it means that his or her immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in cow's milk (the basis for most commercial baby formulas). Every time the child has milk, the body thinks these proteins are harmful invaders and works very hard to fight them. This causes an allergic reaction in which chemicals like histamine are released in the body.
Babies often show their first symptoms of a milk allergy days to weeks after they're first given cow milk-based formula. Breastfed infants have a lower risk of having a milk allergy than those who are formula fed. If they are allergic, though, they can have symptoms if mom has dairy products in her diet.
A milk allergy is not the same thing as lactose intolerance, which is when the body has trouble digesting milk.
Some babies with a milk allergy have an allergic reaction soon after having milk; others have problems hours or days later. If your baby has a milk allergy that causes symptoms soon after he or she has milk, keep two epinephrine auto-injectors on hand in case of a severe reaction (called anaphylaxis). An epinephrine auto-injector is an easy-to-use prescription medicine that comes in a container about the size of a large pen. Your doctor will show you how to use it.
In children who show symptoms shortly after they have milk, an allergic reaction can cause:
A milk allergy can cause different symptoms at different times. Some reactions are mild and involve only one system of the body (like hives on the skin). But mild reactions in the past do not mean a child won't have a serious allergic reaction next time.
Children who do not have symptoms shortly after they have milk can have a different type of reaction that causes problems hours to days later, such as:
If Your Child Has a Serious Reaction
If your child starts having serious allergic symptoms, like swelling of the mouth or throat or difficulty breathing, or symptoms involving two different parts of the body, like hives with vomiting:
Diagnosing a Milk Allergy
If you think your infant is allergic to milk, call your baby's doctor. He or she will ask you questions and talk to you about what's going on. After the doctor examines your baby, some stool tests and blood tests might be ordered. The doctor also may refer you to an allergist (a doctor who specializes in treating asthma and allergies).
The allergist may do skin testing. During skin testing, the doctor or nurse places a tiny bit of milk on the skin, then pricks the outer layer of skin or makes a small scratch on the skin. If your child reacts to the allergen, the skin will swell a little in that area.
If the allergist finds that your baby is at risk for a serious allergic reaction, epinephrine auto-injectors will be prescribed.
If your breastfed infant has a milk allergy, it's important for you to avoid dairy products because the milk protein that causes allergic reactions can cross into your breast milk. Be sure to read food labels carefully. All food makers are required to clearly state whether a food contains milk or milk-based products — look for this in or next to the ingredient list on the packaging.
You may want to talk to your doctor or a dietician about finding alternative sources of calcium and other vital nutrients to replace what you were getting from dairy products.
If you're formula feeding, your doctor may advise you to switch to an extensively hydrolyzed formula in which the proteins are broken down into particles so that the formula is less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
You also might see "partially hydrolyzed" formulas, but these aren't truly hypoallergenic and can lead to a significant allergic reaction.
Do not try to make your own formula. Commercial formulas are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and created through a very specialized process that cannot be duplicated at home. Other types of milk that might be safe for an older child with a milk allergy (like rice milk, almond milk, or coconut milk) are not safe for infants.
If you have any questions or concerns, talk with your child's doctor.

Digital Promise: How to Crowdsource Quality Resources for Adult LearnersPosted on 06/13/2016
In the May 20, 2016 article, Jennifer Maddrell, the founder of Designers for Learning , describes their crowdsourcing effort to develop free open educational resources (OER) for adults with low math and literacy skills. This was done as a massive open online course (MOOC) on Canvas Network and sought out an all-volunteer team of designers, facilitators, and subject matter experts. Maddrell also states that over 1,500 people from around the world registered for the course — and, to date, are actively engaged in creating free, open resources for adult learners.
According to Maddrell, "this MOOC was both a professional development opportunity for those interested in instructional design, and a platform to design solutions to support the forgotten millions in our country in need of educational support. In the end, MOOC participants offered their service contributions to a grossly underserved educational segment of adult learners, and left the experience with an appreciation of who these adult learners are as people versus statistics."
Maddarell also lists the four key factors for the success of this project:
- Use a real-world instructional challenge
- Create a clear design guide
- Introduce open licensing
- Create and understanding of the learners

Canadian painter Janna Watson uses abstraction as both an escape from and return to the real. As the world we know dematerializes into paint strokes, so too does her paint take stage as its very own character in a multi-act drama of composition. Bundles of colour, made up of discrete yet inseparable instances of pigment—what Watson refers to as "moments"—are teeming and poised as though caught mid-multiplication. Sweeps of paint re-direct sharply and fold over themselves; thin, rigid ink lines cut into the pictorial field as rudimentary elements in an increasingly complex system of painterly language. All the components play out on a surface of slow, chromatic gradation. Like many of Watson's players, these backdrops tenderly gesture toward the familiar, stopping just short of representation. The result is a conceptual project (and distinct, stylistic signature) that speaks to a contemporary milieu in which abstract painting is not the retreat of meaning into an unrecognizable realm, but rather the emergence of medium as a "figure" in its own self-inscribed world of feeling and being. Watson does more than reveal paint's potential to emote—she gives it a space to reveal itself, in its own time.
Janna Watson holds an honours degree in Drawing and Painting from the Ontario College of Art and Design, and since graduating has exhibited extensively across Canada and internationally in more than 20 solo exhibitions. Her work has appeared in notable public collections including those of TD Bank, CIBC, Telus, the Ritz-Carlton, ONi ONE, the Soho Metropolitan Hotel, and Saks Fifth Avenue. In 2013, she was commissioned to create an impressive, 11-foot painting for the lobby of AURA, Canada's tallest residential building.
Watson's paintings circulate regularly at international fairs, including the Toronto International Art Fair, CONTEXT Art Miami, and in Seattle, where they were recently featured by Artsy in its list of "10 Works to Collect at the Seattle Art Fair." Watson's work has been covered by publications such as The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, NOW Magazine, and House & Home.
With designer Nico Soule, Watson is also co-collaborator of Watson Soule, a business dedicated to redefining interiors with hand-tufted floor pieces inspired by the artist's abstract compositions.
She lives and works in Toronto.

PINES Upgrade
Starting at 6:00 pm Thursday, January 14th, computers at all Okefenokee Regional Library System branches will be unavailable due to a PINES catalog upgrade. The computers are managed by software that needs to access the PINES system patron information for logins, and won't work until the upgrade is complete. While the PCs will not be available, patrons will be able to use Chromebooks and Chromeboxes available at each library branch for internet and web-based applications. Unfortunately, printing will not be possible. PCs will be back to normal operation on Tuesday, January 19th (keeping in mind that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated on Monday, January 18th and all branches will be closed).
The PINES upgrade will affect all systems that use the PINES catalog and server, including ebook checkout and in-person checkout. Patrons will not be able to renew library cards, pay fines or take out more than five items during this period.
What's new with PINES?
Checkout and holds history! You will now have the option to record and browse your checkout and holds history. Checkout history will be off by default, but you can turn it on and track what you've read and watched over the past year.
Messages will now appear in your account regarding account activity and communication from staff.
Account renewal reminders will now be sent to the patron email thirty days before account is due to expire. This will allow patrons time to visit a library branch and renew without losing service.
As a reminder, patrons can also now pay account fines online with a credit card through their account. Log in at gapines.org with your library card number and PIN.
We hope you enjoy these new features! For more information, visit the PINES website.
Fine Free Month: Sept 8-30, 2015
The Okefenokee Regional Library System is promoting a Fine Free Month in honor of National Library Card Signup Month, starting Tuesday, September 8th, 2015. During this time, late or damaged OKRLS books, DVDs, and CDs can be returned and all overdue fines for those items will be forgiven. While overdue fines will be waived for damaged materials that are returned, cardholders may still be charged for the damage.

Sonja Tonpea to visit WCPL
Activist and filmmaker Sonja Tonpea is the author of the poignant documentary 'Westfield' Struggles to Success. This film portrays the stories and struggles faced by Westfield Village, an industrial labor town near Birmingham, AL plagued by poverty and segregation. Despite these adversities, the Westfield community was tightly knit and produced many success stories, such as baseball legend Willie Mays and Federal Judge U.W. Clemon. The Waycross-Ware County Public Library is honored to have Tonpea, who grew up in the Westfield community, visit on Monday, March 23, 2015, to present her film. The movie will start at 6:00 pm and a discussion will follow.
Libraries Closed for Staff Day 2015
In our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible service, the Okefenokee Regional Library System is closing library branches on March 13, 2015 for staff improvement. We will be bringing staff from all library branches to the Waycross branch for a day-long training. Dawn Dale from the Georgia Public Library Service will be coming to train staff with the Evergreen library management software and answer questions. There will also be workshops for Overdrive e-resources and the LibData computer management software. Additionally, staff will be introduced to some of the new equipment purchased with the 2014 Major Repair and Renovation grant funding. Training with this equipment will allow staff members to better assist patrons in the future.
Books can still be returned to book drops and all library branches will be open for regular hours after Friday.

PROCTOR - The new owner of Proctor's West Street Market is more than happy to take the plunge and go into business for herself. In fact, Rachel Jackson is overwhelmed by the positive feedback and community support she is receiving after taking the helm of the town's popular general store last week.
"I want to thank all the local residents who dropped by," she said. "I was pleased with the first week's sales. People seem happy with the changes, too. It means a lot."
Jackson, a native of Rutland who grew up in North Clarendon, is a resident of Poultney. She said she reached the point in life where she wanted to be her own boss, and get off a financial-career rollercoaster ride that offered either feast or famine depending on the state of the economy.
"I wanted something fun and challenging," she said. "After looking for a finance-related job-so it seemed to me-every two years or so, operating a general store looked like a good move to me."
Jackson has a solid background in business; she is a college graduate and received a master's degree in business from St. Joseph's College. So, her approach to running a country store will be a little more scientific than most.
Despite competition from area box stores and supermarkets, Jackson believes Rutland County's general stores still provide a vital service to local shoppers.
"Sure, there's competition, but I try to pass on my savings to customers. I purchase quality merchandise when it's on sale, so I have everyday low prices that you can compare to Price Chopper," she said. "We're planning a new deli section with a new look, expanding our wine selection, offering new lunch specials, more chef salads, delicious high quality strip steaks, home ground hamburgers, and lots more."
Beer, soda, vitamin/energy drinks, lottery tickets, local newspapers, Thomas Dairy products, fresh Green Mountain Coffee, Super Bowl snacks, as well as other items, round out the market's convenient offerings. Jackson hopes to expand her current "buy local" selections, too, with even more locally produced products from folks such as David and Michelle Parker of North Chittenden.
The West Street Market opened in the 1980s. It was owned successively by the McGarries, Frank LaPenna, Andy and Nancy Crestelli, and most recently by David and Heather Atherton. With that said, the market has been a keystone in the Proctor landscape regardless who is helping behind the counter. It is centrally located and a genuine convenience for residents who prefer not to make the long drive to the West Rutland or Rutland area for needed items.
Joining Jackson behind the counter on various days are Deana Burnham and Jeff Anderson of Proctor, Megan Gangone of Pittsford, and Celia Lisananti and Maureen Ketcham.
Even with a good location and loyal customers, you have to possess the right kind of temperament to make a go of it in Vermont's general-store business. And after just a week behind the counter, it appears that Rachel Jackson has exactly what it takes to succeed-a love of community, an eagle eye for local business, and a good old-fashioned commitment to personal, customer service.
Check it out: West Street Market in Proctor is open for winter hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 a.m.-8 p.m., Thursday, 7 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday, 7 a.m.-9 p..m., Saturday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Telephone: 802-459-3322.

The stories are beautifully written. Emma Newman seems to have a touch for capturing all the little things people do that make them human, their vulnerabilities and quirks, their grief and their humour. All her characters feel completely real and believable, and it is these characters that really drive the stories. The author delivers the messages and the horror within the stories with just the right tone, subtly yet insistently, and with a very good feel for pacing. About two lines in, I was hooked every time. The stories grab hard, and do not let go until the end.
The interweaving of many different elements is also pulled off extremely well. The stories can be vaguely categorised as speculative fiction, or dark fiction, or perhaps horror, or even, at points, the weird, but just as you think you've settled on a genre, the next story defies you. There's something Neil Gaiman-ish (Gaimanesque?) about them; the supernatural is inextricably mixed up in the everyday, and it would be pointless to pretend that our world is not magical, or that it is not also deeply dark, twisted and creepy.
Although much of the content leans towards horror, many of the stories are also funny, moving and observant. There are also a few good twists on old ideas. The stories complement each other well, although it might have been nice to have a few longer ones in the bunch, just to balance out the series of sharp, wickedly relentless punches that each of these very short stories were.
Although I didn't love every story, this is probably one of the best collections I've read in terms of consistently good stories. There isn't a single one that felt like filler, or any that jarred with the overall theme. And there were so many memorable ones that I honestly can't pick a favourite. Based on this collection, I'm very excited to read more of Emma Newman's writing, and am eagerly awaiting her first Split Worlds novel (coming soon from Angry Robot). And, if anyone is interested in reading some free stories by Emma Newman, you can sign up for Split Worlds shorts sent to straight to your inbox, here. I've done this, and I'm really enjoying them so far!
This is a beautiful little collection. It's very short, and the stories are a quick and easy read, but each one will linger for a long time after the book has been put down. Dark, complex, subtle and moving, and a great amount of fun to read.

Hello HealingCrystals.com Staff:
I received the Lepidolite tumbles and I must tell you, the feel is INCREDIBLE! I can't put them down. ALso, the Lepidolite rod arrived too, and I just love it!
Both of them put me in a much relaxed state, and I fall asleep after holding them, sleeping most peacefully. Lepidolite is an amazing gemstone and the pieces you hace are of such excellent quality, I must tell you.
Also, my Zincite rod arrived and when it came I said, "This thing is so tiny!" Well, after positioning and holding it, I changed my mind about its size: it was so powerful, I had to remove it for a few minutes. It is AWESOME! A quality piece again that you sent me.
Thank you for your excellent service and quality gemstones you carry. I will post this comment to your testimonial column.
Many Thanks and a properous New Year to you!

So what to work on in the last few days now that Myth Masque is done? I should be working on the Tissot gown but I'm just not feeling it at the moment. I'm feeling more 18th C, and given a few friends here were talking about making chemise dresses I decided to make one too! Well, I guess it's really a gaulle since it's got the fitted back.
I have to admit something. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the chemise dress. Much the same way I feel about 1920s gowns - I love the way I they look on other people, but feel a bit on the dumpy side when contemplating the same styles on my body. But I'd bought some black striped cotton voile in the last sale fabric mart had (or was it fashion fabric club?) in the hopes that I'd feel a little less like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man if I made one in black.* So that's what I'm doing.
This has always been my favorite chemise gown inspiration pic, so I'm hoping to do something like this but in black.
I've got enough for a hem ruffle but I think I like it better plain. Maybe with some frills in white at the wrists but no neck or skirt ruffle. I think it will look good with the new 18th C bonnet a la Taylor for a kind of Mrs. Dashwood look or with the Lunardi hat I made in Mela's class at Costume College a few years ago.
* So instead I'll look like a fat, old goth stay puft marshmallow man. :P

I thought I'd skip the core definition by simply posting the image I put up on Twitter earlier today.
If you've read my posts on Influencers here and here, you know that this phenomenon / channel is here to stay particularly in emerging social media markets like Dubai, the GCC and Pakistan.
What's interesting, though, is the backlash against celebrity endorsements which is visible across all channels is now paving the way for a new level of influence that is borne out of the peer-led marketing social media so depends on.
The micro influencer, in other words.
You know who they are, actually. You just haven't realised it yet. It's those people on the popular platforms who don't boast massive numbers of hundreds of thousands of followers, however command a high engagement rate. People who post a photo on Instagram and get perhaps 50 or 100 likes, yet have engaging comments other than 'nice shot' or 'wow'. People who post a tweet and get more comments than retweets which in my humble opinion is better, considering 'reach' is no longer a revenue-focused KPI.
Also, consider this: an influencer who has hundreds of thousands of followers and gets hundreds of comments will NOT engage with those comments. He or she won't have the time for it, nor is it possible unless you're being handled by an agency. If you're handled by an agency, then it isn't worth it because the executives replying on the influencer's behalf are middle-men, they're not the celebrity themselves. Hence, one-way engagement and no actual satisfaction for the follower.
Flip this, and consider the micro influencer: they visit a fashion brand, pick up a great design and wear it. They post a photo of themselves and their followers like it, comment on it and ask where they bought it. The micro influencer replies with the name and has now planted the seed in an engaging follower who appreciates that they received a reply.
Two replies that actually convert $$$s are more valuable to 100 that don't even get a reply.
Markerly, an influencer marketing platform, conducted a survey of 2 million social media influencers and discovered:
For unpaid posts Instagram influencers with <1,000 followers have a 'like' rate of about 8%, while those with 1,000 to 10,000 followers have a like rate of 4%.
The more the follower base increases, the 'like' rate decreases, with the following as an example from Instagram:
10,000 – 100,000 followers: 2.4% like rate
1 million – 10 million followers: 1.7% like rate and more. It's a similar pattern for comment rates.
It isn't just applicable to non-promoted posts, the survey found. Sponsored Instagram posts fell into similar patterns, suggesting if you wanted high engagement you need to target influencers with a following in the 10,000 to 100,000 range.
Look at these incredible graphs!
Sarah Ware, CEO and co-founder of Markerly, said that when her company engaged with the Jenner and Kardashian sisters on Instagram on behalf of a weight-loss tea company, the celebrities helped bring hundreds of conversions. Which was nice. But by activating 30 to 40 "micro-influencers," the brand was able to convert at an even higher level!
Business Insider, in its Digital Media Briefing in December, says:
"There's a clear strategy driving this trend.
Posts from people with small followings get strong engagement, and bring an air of authenticity and trust. This helps brands skirt any negative perception tied to more blatant forms of advertising.
And obviously, employing micro-influencers is much cheaper – free even – than tapping a celebrity."
In the Middle East, there are 3 levels of influencers currently occupying a large segment of social marketing for brands:
- Celebrity/high-value influencers: These are people like the Nancy Ajrams (celebrity) or Huda Kattan/Joelle Mardinians (social media) who command millions of followers on various platforms
- Mid range influencers: These are people like Kris Fade who command not as many followers as Huda or Joelle, but who have a high engagement amongst them due to their local celebrity status on radio and at events
- Peer influencers: These include not just bloggers, instagrammers and vloggers who have between 5K and 50K followers/fans and post content on a regular basis but also the regular, daily Joe who gets very high engagement on most of their social posts without having a large following. These are people who, when they say 'I love this restaurant, great cheesecake', see at least 10 or 20 of their friends or peers visit that restaurant. They are not celebrities, and are not household names, but within their sphere of social influence they are name dropped regularly for recommendations
This last segment, the peer influencers, are the Middle East's micro-influencers.
Have a look at Zomato UAE's review pages, or the leader board, or the stories coming out of Lovin Dubai among others which are based on peer stories. These are viral stories coming from people you know who are probably sitting at the desk next to you or live across the door from your home.
We are surrounded by micro-influencers in Dubai. We just need to harness them for our brands. Which means, we need to educate our agencies and PR companies on this.
Later this week I have a post coming which details 5 ways to engage micro-influencers you otherwise wouldn't know about. Until then, keep an eye out for the people in your social circles who may be micro influencers.

The University of Turku charges tuition fees from all non EU/ETA citizens unless they receive the scholarship of the University of Turku. Also, holders of certain types of residence permits or family members of EU/ETA/Switzerland citizens are not charged.
The deadline for paying the tuition fee (full or half) is 31 July 2018.
Some students are offered a scholarship which covers 100% or 50% of the tuition fee. The grant offer is sent to these students together with the admission offer. They must accept the study place and the scholarship by 18 April 2018.
If you were offered a scholarship covering 50 % of your tuition fee you must pay the other half first. After that your scholarship is paid and the other half of your tuition compensated.
If you were accepted conditionally for the degree studies at the University of Turku, the scholarship is also conditional until you have also fulfilled the requirements needed for the study right.
Scholarship holders
The scholarship received in the beginning of the studies will also directly compensate the second academic year fully or partly if your Master Degree Studies have proceeded as expected during the first year.

Just came across this great article over at Direct Mag, which talks about a HitWise survey that found longer searches to be growing rapidly, while shorter 1-3 word searches actually declining. This is really interesting and also quite exciting. We've always been about creating a more personal experience with our users and really allowing them to find the exact products to match their needs.
For example, a friend of mine that has been much more health conscious lately, recently found some juicers for fruits and vegetables through a longer search on Google. There are lots of innovative businesses that are helping to revolutionize the space and this of deep interest to us here at Wize.

Black cropped flared jeans, check!!! Finally a pair that fit my short little legs. I have been on the hunt for a pair like this for so long and finally I have them. They are super comfy and look great with everything in my wardrobe. They have a frayed edge so they don't look too clean cut.
If you follow me on instagram you would already have seen this H&M top a lot (sorry) I just the love colour and I am obsessed with a silky satin material.

By JANE STEVENSON - - Toronto Sun
TORONTO - - After an 11 - year absence, Madonna returned to Toronto last night with the first of three sold - out shows at the Air Canada Centre.
The 45 - year - old pop icon notably didn't bring her 2001 Drowned Tour to T.O., disappointing fans, but she seemed to have been forgiven last night judging from the roaring reception.
"Ah, it's good to be back in Toronto," she said towards the end of her hour - and - 50 - minute set. "It's been so long. Just because I have two children doesn't mean I don't like to have fun."
Believe it or not, Madonna last performed in this city in 1993 with her sexy Girlie Show Tour at SkyDome. (She mistakenly remembered her last visit as the infamous 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour saying: "The last time we were here, the police almost arrested us. I'm a good girl.")
But back in 1993, she was a vastly different artist, single and childless, and without her new - found faith in Kabbalah, the study of a kind of Jewish mysticism that has found her choosing the Hebrew name of Esther for herself.
Not to give anyone the wrong idea.
Last night's show - - which began 45 minutes later than scheduled and found 17,000 anxious fans chanting "Madonna! Madonna!" - - was still a hi - tech, flashy and fun affair but overall more tame, and slightly preachy with plenty of Bush - bashing, anti - war messages and Hebrew references.
Like the L.A. tour launch on May 24, a select group of fans were guided into tiny pits on either side of the stage before the concert began for a first - class view of Madge, although five giant moving video screens enabled the masses farther away to get a good look at The Material Girl. (Given her tour merchandise ranged from for a keychain to 5 for a pink hooded sweatshirt - - so much for her claim she's now The Non - Material Girl.)
Kicking off the night with a slick, stylized video and recorded spoken - word monologue called The Beast Within, the concert really began when Madonna made her big entrance laying down on a platform that came out of the stage floor to the opening strains of her 1990 uber - hit Vogue.
She was quickly joined by nine dancers, all dressed in French period costumes, with her seven - piece band divided into two camps in the shadows on either side of the stage.
The biggest production number, however, came during the title track from her 2003 release, American Life, which saw a gleaming silver catwalk descend from above for a fashion show featuring Madonna's dancers dressed as everything from a rabbi, a priest, a nun, an Arab, etc.
By this point, Madge - - who began the night in a sparkly champagne - coloured corset top, short black shorts and knee - high black boots - - had changed into army fatigues and a black beret with the rest of her dancers brandishing rifles for army - themed choreography.
The background video, meanwhile, was sober images of victims of war ending with a Bush and Saddam Hussein look - alikes sharing a cigar. (Similar video of children in war - torn countries was shown during her cover of John Lennon's Imagine.)
Because this is called the Re - Invention Tour, many of Madonna's songs were reworked, some better than others.
Often she appeared as a solitary figure on stage playing the electric or acoustic guitar on such songs as Burning Up and Material Girl or the new tune, Nothing Fails, respectively.
The weakest link in the entire show was the circus - themed third portion where, for some unknown reason, Madonna dragged out the awful Dick Tracy song Hanky Panky, and turned the normally robust dance song Deeper And Deeper into a cabaret ballad.
Thankfully,that segment was saved by a wonderfully inventive tango version of her James Bond theme song, Die Another Day, before she was placed in an electric chair for the Evita number, Lament.
Other crowd - pleasers proved to be a mix of old and new songs like Frozen, Express Yourself, Don't Tell Me, Like A Prayer and Music.
Although Get Into The Groove, which featured bagpipes, drums and Madonna and her dancers in kilts, and the show - ending Holiday, complete with red - and - white confetti and another stroll down the catwalk, have to be singled out for special mention.
Madonna wraps up the North American leg on her Re - Invention tour on Aug. 2 in Miami before heading over to Europe.
Otherwise, she plays two more shows at the ACC, tonight and Wednesday. The Toronto shows initially sold - out in a record - setting 80 minutes but more seats were released once the Re - Invention production was finalized.
Rumoured among those to be in attendance last night were Madonna's two children - - seven - year - old daughter Lourdes, a.k.a. Lola, and three - year - old son Rocco - - and hubby Guy Ritchie.

Turkey: Land of Mystics
Capodicia, Turkey - My new friend was adamant. No, no, you don't understand, he said. The Arabs don't like us because we are a "land of mystics." I suggested in an earlier column from here that maybe it had to do with the fact Turks in the Ottoman Empire once ruled Arabs.
But Arab reaction to a land of mystics, that I can understand.
The invitation to tour Turkey came from an organization of Sufis: they are the mystical branch of Islam. They are very big on music and poetry. The famous Whirling Dervishes are, in a real sense, their advertisement of themselves, as Walt Whitman said.
They practice kindness not war. And they have been very kind to our small group rounded out by a couple that sponsors peace events and a pair of Jesuit priests. As a practicing journalist, engaged in making a mundane living, I'm the odd man out.
I want to make clear that I'm not entirely objective on the subject of Sufism. I admired the first advocate I met of this gentle form of a religion much blamed in these times for advocating bloodshed and other violence. My Egyptian friend earned his daily coffee by owning a silver shop in Cairo's great Khan el-Khalili, the largest bazaar in the city.
True Sufis may not even serve in the armed forces; I don't know. Some I've met strike me as very resolute, as human beings and Muslims. Without violating their principles, they do what they "gotta" do. After all, there are Quakers who take up arms in times of national emergency. And the Society of Friends may be the closest Christianity gets to this mystical branch of Islam.
And there may be the rub.
In Arab nations, Sufis are little more than a statistical minority, at least as far as I can figure out. No one walks around with a sign plastered on the forehead advertising their beliefs, after all. But I have been led to believe traditional Muslims, Sunnis and Shiites, have enough to do: praying five times a day and keeping up other religious obligations. The faith mandates charity: there is not choice. Either share with others, or don't go parading and boasting around Mecca. Wherever.
Sufis are willing to take the extra step, and that's why I'm counted among their admirers, sweeping aside our common interests in poetry and such. My new Turkish friend said in a matter of fact voice: of course, he was a Sufi.
And this is another difference about Turkey.
Sufis have not been burned at the stake, as far as I know, in other parts of the Muslim world. But here they're accepted completely for who they are. And that's very good. For the past week, we've been introduced to schools and hospitals run by the organization that follows the tradition of Jalal Al Din Rumi.
If his name means nothing to you, then you don't own one of his books of poetry: a quarter million Americans do. His volumes of verse led the best-seller list recently. He lived in the 13th century. Those facts are not as important as the way he spoke of love and loneliness and true completion.
Aside from the Rumi organization, I know little about Sufism in Turkey, but fully understand why the adherents would have a rough go elsewhere. Saudi Arabia advocates religious fundamentalism, enforced by special police. Most other neighboring nations are ruled by tyrants: Egypt leads the list.
And tyrants and dictators want nothing to do with anyone or any idea they can't control completely.
Sufism cannot be tucked away in a bottle or jail cell. Its followers can. But they're no fun to the average jailhouse bully. Some of them actually relish pain, as a way of getting closer to the One God, they call Allah. The silversmith in Cairo had all his teeth pulled, I'm told, in order to transcend his love of great quantities of food.
Strangely enough, promulgating a form of extremism, Sufis are deeply connected with the outfits in Islam that preach the sacrifice of life for the greater good. They cannot be found among the ranks of the suicide bombers, but can admire those who give up their lives for what they believe is the greater good of their fellow man. It is an idea that grates on Western nerves and consciences.
But we are creatures of a civilization known to vilify Quakers for their "thee" and "thou" ways, ignoring the great good they're contributed to humanity.
Like their "Friendly" counterparts, Sufis are guided not by men but principles. And that could leave their fellow Muslims scratching their heads and your neighborhood Joe to switch on the television sports.
But if our government can ever get a hold on the Middle East, people must make themselves aware of what is a frequently tedious and occasionally frightening region on this earth.
Our children's lives are at stake.

LONDON (Reuters) - Investors piled back into bonds in the past week, directing the largest inflow into these funds for three months, although the pause in the bond market selloff will probably only be fleeting, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said on Friday.
The $6.3 billion inflow into bond funds in the week to Wednesday follows a torrid few months for bonds, which have sold off sharply as investors have bet on a pick-up in inflation and growth.
The week covered the New Year period, so many fund managers would have been on holiday. But those at their desks put money to work, with equity funds chalking up $5.5 billion inflows and emerging market debt funds their first inflow in nine weeks, of $1.9 billion.

"A wobble in risk assets would be no surprise in the coming weeks, with traders looking to play a pullback," wrote BAML's investment strategy team, led by Michael Hartnett in New York, in a note titled: "Bonds are Back".
U.S. stocks and banks are among the most vulnerable to profit-taking, they said.
Uncertainty and unease surrounding U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, volatile trading in Chinese currency and money markets and a potential U.S. interest rate rise could all tempt investors to play safe in the coming weeks.
"(But) structurally, we remain bullish risk in the coming quarters," they wrote.
In the week to Wednesday, investors poured cash into high-yield bond funds for the sixth week in a row ($900 million) and a hefty $3.6 billion into investment-grade bond funds.
Gold funds saw an eighth consecutive weekly outflow, the longest losing streak in three years, while in equities Japanese funds posted the largest outflow in six weeks ($1.4 billion) but U.S. funds pulled in $2.6 billion, BAML said.

Over the past 50 years, scientists have discovered the body and mind are not only connected, but also are closely intertwined and affect each other.
Various studies also reveal the connection between the brain, the mind and the immune system. One of them said, people often stress are more prone to suffer flu.
Emotional conditions such as stress, fear, or anger, sends a signal to the main gland in the body to release certain hormones, such as cortisol, adrenaline and epinephrine.
These hormones make cells are always ready to guard and not resting. If we are indeed facing a threat (in ancient times, for example the face of a wild animal) was a useful precautionary conditions. But in modern life is actually detrimental. As a result, the ability of the body fight disease from the outside is reduced, and blood pressure to increase.
In addition to releasing stress hormones, our bodies can also secrete hormones to boost immunity, especially when we feel happy or relaxed. Hormone that for example serotonin, dopamine, relaxin and oxytocin.
Many everyday activities can make the body is flooded with hormones that, from exercising to release emotional tension, laugh with friends, or playing with a pet.
Immune maintained is key to fighting the disease, including cancer. Therefore, try to spend some time doing activities that relaxes.

Several new reputations had been made and one enormously enhanced as this much happier Wimbledon tournament entered its second and final week of tennis. On the women's side, Chris Evert Lloyd was stunned 6-1, 7-6 by unseeded Kathy Jordan. But even in defeat, Evert Lloyd showed her championship qualities by the manner in which she behaved when her dream of a Grand Slam -- a Wimbledon title to add to her United States, Australian, and French Open championships -- was shattered.
No excuses were made, and no word was said before, during, or after the match that might detract from the performance of her conqueror, though it was later learned that the three-time champion had not felt herself the night before and had slept hardly at all.
''I met her on a good day, when I was a little bit off,'' was all Chris said after the upset loss that broke her incredible string of having reached at least the semifinals of all 34 Grand Slam tournaments in which she had played since 1971.
Indeed Jordan had played splendidly, better perhaps than Wimbledon had ever seen her play before. But it was a victory also for Evert Lloyd. And for the game of tennis itself.
The women's draw also produced an enchanting new star in Carling Bassett, a precocious 15-year-old from Canada who delighted the crowds with her spirited tennis and the press with her personality and composure.Carling fought back from an 0-2 deficit in each set in her third-round match against Hungarian Andrea Temesvari and battled through six match points before she won 6-3, 7-6.
Meanwhile two grande damesm, if one may be forgiven the term, Billie Jean King and Virginia Wade, also made it through to the second week. Billie Jean reached the brink in a second round match before pulling out a 6-7, 6-2, 8-6 decision over Beth Herr, then walloped her friend and frequent doubles partner, Rosie Casals. Virginia came from behind to defeat Maryland's Andrea Leand 3-6, 7-6, 6 -2.
In the background defending champion Martina Navratilova, of course, continued on her way toward the final - powerful, dominant, intelligent, and imperturbable. If any other woman raises her game enough to trouble Navratilova it will be as much of a surprise as Evert Lloyd's loss.
Her path to the title is all the clearer, too, because fourth-seeded Tracy Austin was forced to withdraw and fifth-seeded Pam Shriver lost to Iva Budarova, leaving No. 3 Andrea Jaeger as her chief challenger.
The greatest crowd-puller among the men in the early rounds was ''The Duke of Nigeria,'' Nduka Odizor, a courteous, dignified, powerful, and graceful player who sprang on the tennis public one of the biggest surprises in years when he soundly defeated Guillermo Vilas of Argentina in the first round, and then disposed of Peter Fleming.
The ''Duke'' was discovered in Lagos, a ballboy who could play excellent tennis with a slab of wood, and taken to Houston at age 15. He became a college player of repute, but came here as a complete unknown so far as the British were concerned. He charmed the crowds with both his play and his manner, though, until he was eventually beaten 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 by Chris Lewis in a fourth round match.
The young Swede Mats Wilander went out to a top-form Roscoe Tanner, many of whose serves came off the fast grass surface at quite unplayable speed. But Mats had earlier provided the crowd with a wonderful few hours in his match with Australian John Fitzgerald. Afterward Fitzgerald said he would like to see Wilander the world's No. 1: ''It would be good to have a nice guy back at the top.''
Australian Pat Cash is another young man who has impressed, as has American Tim Mayotte. The latter is nearer the very top than many people realize. He has previously reached first the quarterfinals and then the semis. One day soon he could go all the way.
Mayotte's match with Mark Dickson was marred by some bad line calls, but neither man allowed himself to be disturbed.Tim considered giving away a point after two calls seemed to have favored him unfairly, but, as he explained later, decided against it. ''When you start overruling wrong calls,'' he remarked, ''the match turns into chaos. Nobody knows who is in charge.''
The big upset among the men, of course, was Kevin Curren's fourth-round shocker over defending champion Jimmy Connors Monday. The 12th seeded South African overwhelmed the top-seeded titleholder with a 33-ace assault for a 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 7-6 triumph.
Ivan Lendl, meanwhile, has rapidly dispolsed of the theory that he can't play on grass.He crushed Bernie Mitton 7-6, 6-1, 6-0. then beat Pat Cash en route to a probable clash with 1981 champion John McEnroe.
McEnroe, whom some Britons now call McEnrow, defeated fellow American Bill Scanlon, 7-5, 7-6, 7-6 in the fourth round.
John has been trying to play the nice guy on the courts, but with such little success that he was fined $500 over the weekend for swearing at a woman spectator. In an earlier match he had abused the ball, a line judge, and an umpire, and twice called for the referee and a supvervisor over quite trivial points.
His odd behavior stands out all the more because of the very fact that this has been so far a delightful Wimbledon - good players giving their best on superb grass in warm and often sunny weather to record crowds.

The American Civil War was fought between 1861-1865. Eleven states declared their secession from The United States and one of the bloodiest wars in history followed. The Confederacy surrendered and slavery was outlawed everywhere in the nation.
Although the narrative in history books is crucial in understanding the details of each battle, playing a trivia game is much more fun.
Civil War Extreme Trivia contains 4 different sections to test each players skill level. Game highlights include:
A) Save the name of the most recent player
B) Save your score
C) Change player name
D) Track score in game
E) Great imagery
F) Realistic sound effects
G) Shake the phone for random questions
Trivia has never been this much fun!
