Discussion in 'Domain Names & Parking' started by MiLiTARYiV, Mar 28, 2009.
Does anybody know why .info's are sp cheap compared to the the other domains?
personally i think its so that you buy a ton of them, then a year later you have to renew them all and this time its like $6.99 each..... thats what godaddy does which will suck if you have 50 of them and you really havent used them for what you intended too... lol i fell into that trap!
Wow, I did not know that about the renew rates. Makes a certain amount of sense, but why pick .info's to do that? Just because they're so weird? :X
Also congrats mark on becoming unbanned.
Makes perfect sense. Those (.info's) are throw away domains before the year is up.
Agreed I use .info mainly as throw a way. Usually they're just for a quick project so I just buy new ones on a need to purchase basis. Helps cut costs and since I know SEO the whole .info vs. .com doesn't really effect me to much if at all.
As for why they are priced that... Mainly because they hit you on renewal fees if you keep them. Basically it's a quick buck for the registers and people buy them up like crazy because there's cheap and since it's virtual real estate it doesn't really cost them anything minus a few servers and in exchange they make many millions.
uhm, where can I find the renew rate.
I wanted to buy a dot info, but it seems it's not too smart to do that.
I have some .info domains which are due to expire in a couple of months.
Is it possible to let the domains expire and then buy them again for 99c almost immediately after (Avoiding the inflated renewal fee) ?
LOL If your willing to wait about 2 months before they become fully expired and available to purchase again, lost all of their backlinks and what ever was on the site then sure cguru:
hey guys i just wanted to ask is it possible to buy only ONE cheap .info domain... I need only ONE not two or more just one so can I buy just one domain for 0.99 or how much will it cost to buy only ONE domain.. and I don't have an credit card linked to my paypal acc because i don't have one so can i still buy a domain????
You can buy a .info domain at GoDaddy for $0.99 and you also have to pay a $0.20 fee everytime you register a domain so the total cost is $1.19 for the first year. The renewal cost will be higher after the first year. You can pay by PayPal without a credit card.
I don't think they're cheap because they're weird, they're weird because they're cheap. When .info domains were introduced they were considered unnecessary so to create demand the registrars were charging $0.99 for the first year to hook people. The low fee attracted a lot of domain squatters and spammers and that gave the .info extension a bad reputation. Now that people have to pay higher fees to renew the domains a lot of the junk sites are being dropped so the reputation could improve over time.
>info's ranks just as high as .coms
lol every .info from whereever you buy the domain has a higher renew fee. I personally think that .info domains are cheap because they are .info. Would you register a .info or a .com or .co.uk name for your business? Ofcourse you would prefer .com. Sounds better, looks better, it's shorter, but there is no difference in how these domains are ranked by search engines.
the domain names seemed fairly limited with that extension..
.info's suck for name branding.
.com's is where the name recognition is.
I used to use them as throwaways when I was doing web proxies, when one would be blocked by nannyware, I would just pick up a few more .info's to start up again.
Info's aren't necessarily cheap, you can get them cheaply from godaddy, namecheap and one or two others but many registrars charge as much for an info as for a com.
I have a ton of infos with godaddy, many of them perform well, if they don't perform I don't renew them. I get quite a few banned by Google, by pushing a little too much, but no big deal I let them drop. I have no real issue with godaddy renewal at $8 or so, my big issue is privacy, free for the first year then $8 or so thereafter. So instead of renewal I transfer to another registrar where I can get renewal for about $7 and privacy for $1
Sure, I'd prefer to have all coms but apart from the price it's far easier to find nice info names than com names.. while I can get them at $1.19 I will keep using them.
OK, for my main business sites I want the com, but I also want the net, org, us, biz, info tel and perhaps others.
I have infos and coms that do well, but my best performing site (doing well for years) is an org, you can never tell.
BTW if you want a com and net and org, if the're available register the info with godaddy, part of their upsell will be to offer you the other extensions at half price.
depends how you use a .info it can rank just as effectively on the first page of google as a .com and sometimes higher depending on what method you use to get it there...
it really depends on the type of campaign you are doing and what goals you want to achieve, for short term campaigns infos are great if your in it for the longhaul i would always choose .com and if i had to .net
to be honest i really dont care what anyone says - everyone to their own, my methods are tried and tested and i know what works for me!
incidentally if you dont have a discount voucher for buying a domain at godaddy - just do a search for cheap domain names in google, and godaddy will always be listed top in the sponsored ads, click it and your domain will always be a little cheaper
i just checked godaddy regular .com $9.99 after doing the above $6.99 the discount gets applied at the very end of your transaction...
ive been doing this for ages now
.info are... for "information" websites, you won't make a business/corp website using an info - you'd rather go with a .com
They are cheap first year because probably godaddy felt like making it easier for bloggers to acquire domains for their blogs - a cool move with the blog trend uprising these years.
They are also handy for blackhat gambling.
I am also doing this - and a lot of other ppl too - must suck for godaddy paying all these clicks - LMAO
@bonehead your definitely right about a 10year .com domain going head to head with a new .info using regular seo techniques, ie onsite/offsite optimization, in most instances the ten year would normally come out top
i just use an unconventional method that goes against the grain and will still kick the ass of a ten year domain if the conditions/circumstances are right
When I buy a new .com, .net, or .org, I buy the info as well since they are always available and cheap. Just park it on the main site and use it for commenting or mailing list or anything that might be risky instead of your main site. My 2cents.

The internet is so terrible that I doubt I can actually get to speedtest and record data.
I set everything up myself - what do you mean by special configurations?
I use WEP so that I can get on Xbox live.
I've forwarded some ports to use GGPO when I was on Vista, but haven't figured out how to set up a static IP address on Win 7 yet so I just deleted all the forwarded ports until I did.
Just on assumption based on common sense, if I can connect in safe mode with networking flawlessly, would it really have something to do with the network itself?
By the way, I've been posting from the laptop hooked up to the modem in this thread. It's impossible to get on here on my computer. Everything works just fine on here, and everything works decently on the other laptop connecting wirelessly.

A tickle is the human body's involuntary response to a foreign stimulus contacting the skin. There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that this response is not present in everyone.
A tickle may be caused by grazing a foreign object with one's body or an insect crawling on the skin. Because these physical interactions cannot be anticipated by the body, the tickling sensation felt as a result of exposure to a foreign stimulus is like a proximity alert system for the human body. This is also why tickling yourself is generally difficult or even impossible; the mind anticipates the stimulus, which dulls the alarm response.

January 6th: Sticking to your New Year's Resolutions – possibly more of the same old, same old? Classic examples: Plan to lose weight, thus exercise more; plan to stop smoking; plan to carve out more time with my family; etc., etc., etc. How can you step forward in 2015?
Read On:
Last year I challenged everyone to re-examine their focus (detailed below).
Forgo unnecessary commitments/activities (a.k.a. over scheduling).
Congressing (Urban Dictionary): Avoid being unproductive despite having a lot to do.
Savor your private time.
This year I challenge you to start thinking about how to step forward in 2015. Begin by asking yourself three significant questions:
· What do you plan to do differently at work?
· What do you plan to change at home?
· What contributions are you going to make to your community?
Are you ready to try something different in 2015 or are you going to do more of the same old, same old? Its 2015: Step Forward!

text: BAGHDAD - The dress code at the Blue Star restaurant inside Baghdad's Green Zone now calls for vest and hat. Flak vest and Kevlar helmet, to be precise. And it's a good thing. At least four mortar rounds hit inside the Green Zone about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, killing two Iraqi civilians, according to a U.S. soldier who could not speak for attribution because he's not authorized to talk to reporters. Meanwhile, a State Department official, after initially denying that State had ordered its 1,000 Baghdad personnel to wear protective gear, said that a copy of the order obtained by McClatchy Newspapers was an undiscussable security breach. Saturday's attack followed a barrage of up to 35 mortars and rockets that slammed into the Green Zone - considered the safest place in Baghdad - on Wednesday. The embassy issued its memo later that day. "As a result of the recent increase of indirect fire attacks on the International Zone, outdoor movement is restricted to a minimum," it states. "Remain within a hardened structure to the maximum extent possible and strictly avoid congregating outdoors. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory until further notice." "Public places that are not in a hardened structure - such as the Blue Star Restaurant - should be frequented only in conjunction with the use of your PPE." An embassy spokesman on Saturday initially denied that State now requires workers to wear body armor in the Green Zone. He got upset when shown the memo. "You're asking me to comment on an internal document?" he said, refusing to give his name. "How did you get it? We don't talk to what our security posture is." Saturday's attack, which, like most of the rest, came from the east, the stronghold of Shiite Mahdi Army militia members loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, closed the Blue Star for lunch. But it reopened at 6 p.m. for dinner. While some 100 British embassy workers and about 55 United Nations personnel living in the Green Zone sleep in hardened housing, State Department personnel sleep unprotected. Asked how State could require workers to walk around outdoors in body armor while making them sleep in unprotected quarters, the embassy official said: "I wouldn't characterize it as being a mixed message." U.S. embassy workers, speaking on condition of anonymity, have told McClatchy that they're angry and scared. They'll get hardened sleeping quarters when construction of the new American embassy compound is complete. That's expected to be this fall.

Core Courses
Every student in the Climate and Society program follows a sequence of study that includes six core courses and an internship of the student's choice. In lieu of the internship, students may choose to complete a research internship with guidance from a faculty member.
These core courses are designed to give students a common set of skills and a shared professional working knowledge of climate dynamics on regional and global scales, statistical evaluation and decision-making and managing or adapting to climate variation, particularly in a development context.
Dynamics of Climate Variability and Change
This course aims to provide students with a practical and critical understanding of the Earth's climate system, its variability, and our ability to predict it. The focus is on the physical processes acting in the climate system from seasonal-to-interannual variability to the long-term trends and variability associated with global change. Emphasis is placed on interpreting and understanding climate predictions and projections. We continually address the questions, "How is this modeled/quantified/predicted? and "What are the primary sources of uncertainty?"
Regional Dynamics, Climate, and Climate Impacts
The dynamics of environment and society interact with climate and can be modified through use of modern climate information. Many decisions in society are at local scales, and regional climate information considered at appropriate scales and in appropriate forms (e.g., transformed into water stress on crops) is key. By helping students build a sufficient understanding of the science behind the information, and providing examples of how the information can and is being used, this course seeks to contribute toward the wise use of climate information.
Quantitative Models of Climate–Sensitive Natural and Human Systems
This course is intended to equip students with an understanding of how climate-societal and intra-societal relationships can be evaluated and quantified using relevant data sets, statistical tools, and decision models. In addition to exercising statistical techniques, students perform simple decision model experiments and evaluate the results.
Managing Climate Variability and Adapting to Climate Change
This social science course deals with the opportunities and challenges of using climate science to reduce the negative impacts of climate variability and change on economies, societies and ecosystems. Much as improvements in medical science do not automatically translate into improvements in public health, the recent developments in climate science have been adopted very unevenly. This course uses a risk analysis framework, in which students learn to assess the impacts of climate risk, to reduce the gap between the risk perceptions of scientists and the public, to use tools to communicate climate risk effectively to the public, and to promote effective management of climate risk. This risk analysis framework conveys ideas and methods (both quantitative and qualitative) to reduce societal vulnerability and build resilience to climate variability and climate change.
Applications in Climate and Society
This seminar is focused on practical applications of climate information and research. The objective of the course is to teach students to integrate their understanding of climate science, social science, policy studies, and communications to address real world problems, especially those they will encounter in academia or on the job after graduation.
During the summer semester students complete an internship. Some students choose to complete research based internships under the guidance of a faculty adviser.

Efficient multi-receiver identity-based encryption and its application to broadcast encryption
Document Type
Conference Paper
In this paper, we construct an efficient "multi-receiver identity-based encryption scheme". Our scheme only needs one (or none if pre-computed and provided as a public parameter) pairing computation to encrypt a single message for n receivers, in contrast to the simple construction that re-encrypts a message n times using Boneh and Franklin's identity-based encryption scheme, considered previously in the literature. We extend our scheme to give adaptive chosen ciphertext security. We support both schemes with security proofs under precisely defined formal security model. Finally, we discuss how our scheme can lead to a highly efficient public key broadcast encryption scheme based on the "subset-cover" framework.

MEMS-based thin-film fuel cells
United States Patent Application
|View the Complete Application at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Visit the Industrial Partnerships Office Website
|A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) based thin-film fuel cells for electrical power applications. The MEMS-based fuel cell may be of a solid oxide type (SOFC) having a thickness of 0.5-50 .mu.m at a temperature below 600.degree. C. and a thickness of 0.5-7.5 .mu.m at a temperature over 600.degree. C., or a solid polymer type (SPFC), or a proton exchange membrane type (PEMFC), each operating below 600.degree. C. and having a thickness of 0.5-50 .mu.m, and each fuel cell basically consists of an anode and a cathode separated by an electrolyte layer. The electrolyte layer can consist of either a solid oxide or solid polymer material, or proton exchange membrane electrolyte materials may be used. Additionally catalyst layers can also separate the electrodes (cathode and anode) from the electrolyte. Gas manifolds are utilized to transport the fuel and oxidant to each cell and provide a path for exhaust gases. The electrical current generated from each cell is drawn away with an interconnect and support structure integrated with the gas manifold. The fuel cells utilize integrated resistive heaters for efficient heating of the materials. By combining MEMS technology with thin-film deposition technology, thin-film fuel cells having microflow channels and full-integrated circuitry can be produced that will lower the operating temperature an will yield an order of magnitude greater power density than the currently known fuel cells.

text: I bought a new SD card, 32GB (the one offered by Verizon 2 weeks ago), for Droid 1. It has been working. However as of today, my Droid won't mount or see it. The card is able to be read by my computer or in any USB card reader and all information is intact. In fact, I am backing it up again on an external drive just to be safe. Now, if Droid will not mount it, is this eligible for a Verizon warranty replacement(I am on contract which began 03/10 and I also have Asurion, but I would think this is not an insurance issue)? Moreover, it is rooted and I would need to get back to Stock, should a return be necessary. My original 16GB card which came with Droid also will not mount but can be read and copied via USB card reader, etc. Any suggestions? Now my phone won't boot up; gets stuck on M. However, I can boot into SPRecovery, but I can't do a restore since the card can't be mounted. Can I do a simple Nandroid restore and not the custom one? It didn't work: Nanroid exited with satus 20!!! Is my phone bricked? Should I do a complete factory reset? I am panicking as I might need to unroot and get back to stock should I need to return!:icon_eek: EDIT/UPDATE: It is working. After spending about 1.5 hours trying both cards, the 32GB is now working and recognized. It appears seating the card is very finicky in my Droid. This is bothersome to me as both cards would not moutn and it was only after constant, careful re-insertions that it took. I didn't think either was going to work. Looks like I should never touch it again. Glad it wasn't a software issue. Whew! Dodged a bullet on this one! So, should I unroot and take back to Verizon about the finicky SD card mounts on my Droid or just let it be? I am afraid should I ever remove again, it may not be recognized again.

10 Quotes About Drinking
These 10 quotes about drinking are the perfect way to decorate your home bar or beer fridge. Soak up bits of inebriated wisdom from some of history's most famous drinkers.
- "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the Bible says love your enemy." Frank Sinatra probably would have founded his own church called The Holy Church of Brandy and Broads if he could have gotten away with it. The boozy singer was almost never seen without a cocktail in one hand and a girl on the other.
- "Here's to alcohol: The cause of and solution to all of life's problems." How could we write a list of drinking quotes and not include one of America's most beloved barflies, Homer Simpson? Head on to Moe's Tavern, order a round of Duff beer and toast with Homer's words of wisdom.
- "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind." Humphrey Bogart was from Hollywood's Golden Age of Drinking where men wore suits and liked their liquor straight and their dames feisty. The "Casablanca" actor even had a drink named after him, the Bogart cocktail.
- "I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample, it had an olive in it." Rodney Dangerfield is a gold mine of great drinking comedy. Another one that almost made the cut was "My doctor told me to watch my drinking. Now I drink in front of a mirror. And I drink too much, way too much. My doctor drew blood. He ran a tab."
- "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Apparently, when Benjamin Franklin wasn't out finding our nation, writing almanacs or inventing electricity, he spent some time down at the local alehouse cultivating a love of beer. And that's why Ben Franklin's face is on our hundred-dollar bills, boys and girls.
- "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." Dave Barry wrote a wealth of great beer quotes. He's right, the wheel really doesn't go as well with pizza. Or Mexican food. Or peanuts. Or another round of beer.
- "Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." Believe it or not, this came from Kaiser Wilhelm. Yes, the Kaiser Wilhelm. So apparently, would-be world conquerers can forgo the strategy, armies and well-stocked treasuries in favor of a gal who likes a good beer.
- "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." Like we could write any list about drinking and not include Ernest Hemingway. A Hemingway story without liquor is like a fish without water.
- "The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober." William Butler Yeats was a famous Irish poet who didn't feel the need to hide his drinking. The poet even composed a poem called "A Drinking Song." Yeats came from a classier time. Nowadays, "a drinking song" is synonymous with the drunk guy at the bar jukebox trying to figure out how to play "Don't Stop Believing."
- "He was a wise man who invented beer." We all knew Plato was a great philosopher, but we didn't know exactly how great until we read this quote.

Sheet Sets & Sheets
With a roll of the dice or a turn of the card, these classic board games have earned a spot in American lore. Now is your chance to relive all those great childhood memories and start new traditions with your own family. Find the murderer with Clue. Become a real estate mogul in Monopoly. Or take over the world with Risk.
Talk about board game classics. I grew up playing these games and have great memories associated with each one. Given today's sometimes overwhelming digital games, there's something reassuring about these old favorites.

My new favorite thing is wearing this awesome blue liquid eyeliner from Sephora each and every day! It is so bright and vibrant and I'v been getting a million compliments on it, and it also supringly goes pretty well with most outfits. It was $12 and comes in quite a few other colors too.. I think I need to go back and maybe pick up some purple, among other colors.
Just got these two tops at work yesterday, but the pants I'v had for like 2 years now, and they don't nearly get enough wear either. I just did a bunch of spring cleaning yesterday and switched out all my winter coats for my summer clothes, so it helped me to really see what I had and rediscover a few things. Such a great feeling! Today is a bit more chilly, but yesterday was amazing, I didn't even wear a coat out! I am also getting obsessed with the extended forecast and it's getting me super pumped for 70 degree weather!!

Well, I ran into my first JB problem. I installed IncarcerApp, which is supposed to let you turn off the home button at will - trying to iPad one-handed while feeding the baby, I often hit home by accident while holding the bezel.
I went in and turned it on... And my iPad promptly froze. I had to do a hard reboot (holding down both sleep and home buttons), but then I was able to go into cydia and remove the offender. No permanent damage! But it did remind me that I should really be backing up more often, especially before I install any JB apps that aren't well-known to be stable. But yeah, steer clear of IncarcerApp.
I do, however, have RetinaPad, SBSettings, Activator, BrowserChanger, and several other JB apps/tweaks running beautifully!

She is. She really is. I mean seriously. Look at that photo and the expression on her face. She is very pleased to be wearing a tiara as she no doubt feels it is her right. She demands attention, but in a good way, and you can't help but give it to her because she is so funny about it. Did I mention that face?
It's been an eventful few weeks for Gwen. First we had someone come look at her. Mind you, we aren't advertising her or anything like that. As far as I'm concerned she isn't ready for that yet. But Gwen is getting a reputation (luckily a good one) and a very kind lady wanted to come look at her. Since her vet is the same as Debra's vet we figured it was okay. She even got on Gwen and walked around. And, trooper that she is, Gwen handled it well. And even though the lady liked Gwen and considered it an honor to ride her, it wasn't quite the right match. And that is fine. It's important to find the right person for a horse and the right horse for a person.
Next I was profiled by the Virginia dressage organization VADA/Nova as their member of the month for September. As such they print a profile and photo. I thought it would be great exposure for Gwen so I submitted the picture of the day of our first ride together. Gwen is always pleased to expand her fan club!
Then Brandi Benedict came back for more lessons. Gwen remembered Brandi from the last time, but for this go round I rode her the entire time. She is definitely getting better but still has a long way to go to be balanced and steady. As you can see in the picture, she still braces with the underside of her neck, but she is learning to soften and her trot has gotten very rhythmical, so it is coming. Of course, when I look at the picture all I can see are the faults in my position! Please someone tell me to get my heels down, shorten my reins and get my hands out of my lap! Sorry…I digress for a moment.
The week after Brandi's lesson, Debra loaded Gwen up with her friend and her horse and took them to nearby Plantation Valley Stable. It was a busy night at the boarding facility with lessons and others riding in the indoor arena, people milling about and horses in the barn aisle. As to be expected Gwen looked around but nothing more. She whinnied once, surprising since she is such the social queen, and Debra had a nice, easy ride on her. We couldn't be more pleased with her wonderful temperament. I'd like to find a little horse show to take her to just for fun, but it's hard to schedule. Still, hopefully yet this fall we will make it out once.

Wes Carr Tries To Excise Australian Idol From His CV
Maybe Wes Carr needs to realise the reason he is not a big rock star is because of him not because he was on Australian Idol.
This week Wes Carr, who actually won the show, spoke about how he has turned his back on his reality TV fame and is now performing under the moniker of Buffalo Tales. He is now an independent (does this mean dumped by record label?) muso.
The thirty year old has not been emulate the success of some of the other Idol alumni like Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Ricki-Lee Coulter and even Stan Walker and appears to blame the show.
Whether this is true or not I am not sure, personally I think these shows give a performer a huge opportunity to gain a wide audience to connect with and sell music and perform to.
However this is what he told the Daily Telegraph:
AUSTRALIAN Idol Wes Carr is performing under an alias because he says the reality show ruined his name.
"People have a perception of Wes Carr. That's not me," he said.
"Ironically, I had to change my own name to release my own music.
"Meanwhile, I've got this Wes Carr thing hanging over my head that I have to kill off.
"I'm sick of that character. It is tainted."
Carr, 30, who won Australian Idol five years ago, now performs as Buffalo Tales.
Carr's Idol implosion happened on a flight to Nashville.
"That was the D-Day that ended it all," he told Confidential. I had a huge anxiety attack on the plane. It was a nervous breakdown and I freaked out.
"I got out of my seat, walked up to the air steward and said: 'How do I get off this plane fast?'
"That was the moment I learned that, if you keep being untruthful to yourself, you end up in trouble."
He went home and retreated to Coffs Harbour with his girlfriend-now-wife, former Home And Away beauty Charlotte Gregg.
"I'd lost my way and my intention, which is to play music and be inspired by music," Carr said.
"My passion had gone. The biggest part of me will always be a musician.
"But it felt like all that had been set aside so people could talk about my beard. It was stupid, trivial and bullshit.
"I was a puppet on the string, then all of a sudden they cut the strings when the next puppet comes along."
Carr is rejuvenated as Buffalo Tales – an independent singer-songwriter calling the shots.
"Buffalo Tales is my way of saying 'Wes Carr wasn't me. Here I am now'," he said.

Wes Carr Second Album Delayed Due To Anxiety Issues
If you had been wondering where Australia Idol's winner Wes Carr's second album was well we now have the answers.
The Daily Telegraph reports:
IT took a crippling panic attack on a flight to America for Australian Idol survivor Wes Carr to come to grips with the demons that had stalled his long-awaited second record.
As the Qantas flight taxied down the Sydney runway, the anxiety disorder Carr had tried to ignore since recording his post-Idol debut record The Way The World Looks took over.
The 28-year-old singer-songwriter was on his way to Nashville last August to write songs when he told flight attendants he had to get off.
"I was having a full-blown panic attack, people were taking photos of me with their phones and I had to get off the plane. It was horrible," he said.
Carr sought refuge and treatment on the North Coast for six weeks before heading back to work on his record late last year.
"I have always had problems with anxiety, even when I was a kid, but I swept it under the rug and adopted this persona of Wes Carr from Australian Idol," he said.
And of course news of his anxiety disorder comes on the day his new single Been A Long Time hit the airwaves. I think talking about mental illness is important but I do get a bit cynical when this is used as a publicity hook to get news of his new single.

Wes Carr Is In in 2009 but Guy Sebastian is Out
Winner of Australian Idol Wes Carr and his girlfriend Charlotte are hot and are apparently a "power couple".
However shoot director on Australia's Next Top Model Johnathan Pease is apparently not hot this year. Johnathan 35, who spent last year dating 20 year olds on a number of occasions, was given this critique by the gossip columnist.
ANOTHER serial dater and party perennial, sometime television host, occasional designer and model powerhouse.
But Pease needs to look further than his contact book in order to establish himself as a key personality in '09.
I couldn't agree more.
However I thought she was a bit harsh about Season 1 Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian. She said:
NOW that he's married and no longer a virgin, it's time Sebastian demonstrated a bit more depth to his character – or maybe even a hint of the darkness within – because the Mr Nice Guy image is getting to be boring.
So your not hot anymore on the social circuit because you are not a virgin???? That is just too bizarre.

text: Killing healthy and adoptable animals is not the answer to pet overpopulation. If it were, we would not be dealing with even higher numbers of overpopulation than we were 10 years ago. The idea of having only dogs and cats born into this world who have loving homes waiting to care for them may seem like a dream to some, but at Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals, we like being a bunch of dreamers and we think it's a dream worth working towards. Unfortunately, millions of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized every year in the United States. OFOSA has a very straight forward mission; To save as many of those animals as humanly possible, provide necessary medical care and find them loving forever homes.

Aligning yourself with some of the best industry influencers is certainly not a requirement to become successful, however, it helps a lot, and can make a world of difference for you in establishing personal and professional success.
So Just What Is An 'Industry Influencer'?
An 'industry influencer' is someone who has a large following within a specific niche. You can easily find industry influencers on any social media site. These people are talked about, and everyone wants to be associated with what they do and say.
When you note that someone has thousands of subscribers to their blogs plus blog comments always seem to be new and engaged fully in the topic at hand, you know you have found an influencer.
These people are very involved in their particular niche, offering a variety of services, products, and promotions to their loyal fans. Some may even have published books related to their niche. Writing and blogging may just be a part of what they do.
Why Might You Align Yourself With An Industry Influencer?
Most people would assume that an influencer is going to be competition, and attempt to steer clear and go on to do their own thing – entirely different from an influencer. However, by joining their circle you will begin to embrace to power of online community, and you will actually be able to expand your business.
The name of the game should be 'relationship building', since this is precisely what you need to do in order to succeed in any business.
Industry influencers will teach you so much, especially about creating and building buying triggers. Aligning with influencers helps to build your own reputation and credibility, as well as your authority on the subject.
Think about it, someone who writes a blogging post for Darren Rowse's blog has more credibility than one who has never been so endorsed. Whatever your niche – aim for the highest industry influencer you can find.
Some Great Ways To Attract Influencers
Make It Shine:
The aim of course, is to build up your online following. Make sure your business is authentic and transparent, always putting your prospects and customers needs at the top of your 'to-do' list. The most important thing above all, is to be you. Take examples that you see working for others, and let them inspire you to bring out the very best of what you have to offer. By being a great entrepreneur, you will be able to build yourself a successful business that other people will want to flock to.
Share What You Know:
Subscribe to the blogs of those influencers you wish to attract, posting frequently, sharing your knowledge, insight and experiences in the field. Join them on social media sites and get involved in the conversations. Put your learning cap on and soak up all the information you can that will assist you on your entrepreneurial journey.
Spend time writing and blogging on various sites – the more, the better. Be sure to make regular connects with potential customers and prospects. Given enough time and exposure, these people will begin to trust that you know what you are talking about and want to join your party.
Offer Incentives:
For those influencers you are really wanting to capture, try offering them something that will be hard to pass up. Think about hosting a webinar and inviting them to be a guest speaker. If you are a writer, offer them a chance to write a forward for your book, or write a post on your blog.
Your business will dictate what you can offer them, but do look around for something that will draw them in.
Above all else, always do your best, and always act like the professional you are. With a mindset like this, you will soon be attracting influencers into your own niche.

a few months ago, my friend tried to add a new memory card to my computer (a Compaq Presario). however, i'm not sure what went wrong, but my motherboard got "fried" in the process. i eventually bought a new motherboard (and a new casing).
come now this problem: my new motherboard cannot read my OS (windows XP) apparently because that OS was "native" to my Compaq board. i raised this problem to this guy in our local computer shop, and he told me that he can re-install my OS by using the product code/key on my old computer.
i have 2 questions in this regard:
1) is this possible? (and legal?)
2) if he will succeed re-installing my OS, will Microsoft recognize my OS as "original"?
i appreciate any enlightenment. thank you very much.

Now that the holidays have been and gone, I thought I'd share some of the stuff that I got up to in an attempt to stop myself from dying with boredom. You guys get bored in the holidays too, right? Just me? Okay.
Anyway, for the first week of the holidays (we get two weeks off), my family and I took an annual trip up to Moore River with a few other family friends, which I will be posting photos of soon... not sure when. Usually, I have a friend who comes up with her parents as well, but this year she was overseas, and I was doomed to be alone for a week. Except, my brain actually decided to work (for a while - haha) and I got the ingenious idea...
Problem solved! She could only stay for the first few days however, so after some decidedly terrible weather (which is a shame, because all you can really do up there is swim at the beach), we took her back home and brought up another 'play mate' for me!
(Also, after we took my first friend home, the weather went from rainy and stormy to sunny blue skies all day!)
Nothing very different happened for the rest of the week, but the second week was slightly more eventful.
1. I went shopping and bought birthday presents for my friend
2. I went to see Insurgent - OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO AMAZING AND I'M REALLY GLAD AND REALLY MAD BECAUSE THEY'RE TURNING THE THIRD BOOK INTO TWO PARTS!!! (apparently) I'm glad because it means the series will last longer, but it will also take longer to see the finale and it will cost me more :) / :(
3. I went to my friend's birthday party which was heaps of fun, and heaps of lols
4. Watched TV, slept, ate, played The Sims, slept, did homework, ate, and slept.
Did I mention that I slept?
And that pretty much sums up my holidays! What did you guys get up to whilst free of school (if you had holidays, I know most of you live in different countries, ie. not Australia), and give me some tips on how to occupy my time when I have way too much to spare.
I need help!!!
Thanks for reading, you guys are the best!
Lots of love, Little Robin

At this moment, you have entree to quite a few magnitude of money, from the immoderation of single pocket evolution to the military unit of Bill Gates or Warren Buffet.
Suppose you impoverishment to put your monetary resource into quite a few transport that will figure the revisit.
You expression nigh on for the Return on Investment of sundry share instruments. For all finance tool, variable sludge amounts of your cash in hand are sought after. You essential any put up your bread or countersign wage from such that assets.
Real belongings investment offers the top purchase latent accomplishable for your funds.
I saved a immense provide lodgings for mart 25 years ago. It was nominated for $150,000, but had been on the marketplace for an lengthy period of time of incident because of its larger bulkiness next to an ungainly layout. But once I walked through with the provide somewhere to stay for the front time, I immediately envisioned how the design was tributary to 3 conscious units as an alternative of the distinct family unit abode as it was constructed. I offered $10,000 downstairs allowance for the lodging for a attenuated gross sales price tag of $100,000, and my proposal was agreed. The upscale building is now rate $500,000 and has been refinanced many modern times to snatch out dosh. Yet, the 3 units have uniformly returned a currency go of considerably more than the mortgage pocket money for 25 eld. Leverage from the $10,000 thrown compensation is physics.
But leverage reachable from factual material possession investing gets even more.
I started a habit years ago of submitting not anything descending acquisition offers to driven player next to a $10 sincere assets alluviation. I bought $1 a million in houses during my primary time period of genuine material possession investing. I bought different $1 cardinal in property the side by side year, and $10 million assessment of properties by the 4th period of time. Yet, all of these purchases were ready-made short any currency downstairs reimbursement and lonesome $10 in solemn riches deposits. (Even the $10 was in the style of a check attached to the Purchase Contract, and seldom even paid by the Seller!)
But the indisputable property investment professional can pilfer leverage even other footfall.
The in earnest legal tender sludge order of payment for $10 could be equally official as a check for rightful $1.
And in most states, so I'm told by my friends who are experts in legalese, a voiced understanding is basically as permanent as one accompanied with brass or draft. Now that's leverage!
Don't let 'em let somebody know you that buying indisputable belongings reserves lacking change or thanks is impossible. My freshman cardinal time of life of purchase $10 cardinal in properties for not anything fallen is impervious that prompted an editorial in the Wall St. Journal featuring my genuine material possession investing. And I have prepacked that substance in a very big Guide for the aspirant and veteran true holding investment nonrecreational.

One of the delights of traveling these days is discovering lovely new fabric stores. I was lucky enough to visit Seattle this summer, home of the lovely little ladies Z and B, and of course their equally lovely parents. Laura and I ventured into Bellevue, and, behind a small hipster cafe, and down a corridor, I discovered Drygoods Design. It is a charming treasure trove of beautiful fabrics and notions, and I immediately spied a wonderful soft cotton in navy, gold and deep orange dots. Unmissable!

Budget 2015: Comparative wages
I haven't had time to read Tharman's speech. Perhaps this afternoon, but this chart through flipping the paper quickly caught my eye this morning. What hit me immediately is that when we compare ourselves against Japan, it is going to be really hard to grow wages. On balance the SGD must weaken quite a bit more. I don't expect Japan to pull ahead giving us room to chase them. Such is the sad situation they are in today.
A lot of problems come, and you feel yourselves hitting the glass ceiling when the economy cannot grow faster. People here underestimate how important it is to grow the pie. You cannot just assume that growth comes naturally.

Another statistical trick ? Why always pegged index to doggy years agao? How about last 5 to 10 years wage growth ?ReplyDeleteReplies

people become "tricked" by stats only when they don't understand its purpose or worse still choose not to believe it. if tharman is trying to track 50 years of growth, nothing wrong with him using a 50 year stat.Delete
but anyway if even if he uses stats based on the recent years, he can also prove his point becoz he is making a cross country comparison. while true that income growth in Singapore has slowed, other countries like Taiwan, Japan, Hong kong have it much worse. that's why I think peng you likes to use the term " class of failing govt around the world").
Lastly, I agree with peng you that growing the pie isn't something which comes naturally. in fact, its the most difficult thing to do.
if you had listened to Tharman's budget wrap-up speech yesterday about the economy, you can tell that he is trying to do some important macro-economic planning, Kudos to them if they succeed. Even zorro lim who usually talk nonsense made some important points yesterday. But usual, some people wont listen to these bits. instead they would focus on those irrelevant parts and nit-pick on them, as if all these irrelevant parts are all those that matters.

Aviva Investors equity funds: US Election positioning
November 2016
We are long-term investors in high quality businesses and believe the best way to deal with the uncertainty associated with developments such as the US election result is to remain true to our philosophy and processes and to ensure risk is appropriately diversified.
This has certainly been a year of surprises. Through all the uncertainty, however, one factor has remained constant; you cannot trust the polls. Our investment philosophy and approach to equity investing has also remained, and will remain, a constant. We believe the best way to deal with uncertainty is to remain true to our philosophy and processes and to ensure risk is appropriately diversified. We invest for the long term, typically three to five years, which means we have to look through market events and volatility and constantly remind ourselves why we initially bought our stock holdings. We own sustainable and scalable businesses that we believe will deliver strong returns through market cycles and indeed market events.
We should also consider the wider implications of the vote for Brexit and Trump. We do not underestimate the significance of the American people electing Donald Trump as their next president. Undoubtedly this result engenders greater political risk for equity markets than a victory for Hillary Clinton would have. However, our investment process is about making considered long-term decisions.
We appreciate that investors may have concerns over the outcome of the US presidential election and have summarised the initial thoughts and reactions from our regional equity teams below:
2016 is certainly turning out to be the year the pollsters' predictions prove wrong, while political developments have been the key driver of global equity markets. Interestingly, the UK equity market reacted relatively calmly to the outcome of the US presidential poll with just a few sub-sector exceptions. Investors appear to have learnt the lessons from reacting precipitately following the Brexit vote. Back then, the domestically-focused FTSE 250 Index fell by 13.6 per cent over two days, but within six weeks was back at pre-Brexit levels.
The implications of historic votes, such as Brexit and Trump's victory, evolve over months and years, not days. Four months after Brexit, we continue to see impressive UK manufacturing and consumer data readings. At Aviva Investors, we remain true to our philosophy and beliefs, and are long-term investors who do not make knee-jerk reactions. It is also important to remember that Donald Trump will not be inaugurated until 20th January 2017. So we will take time to consider the new landscape, rather than reacting immediately to Trump's electoral campaign rhetoric.
There are some facts we can consider now, however. UK companies have significant earnings exposure to the US, so any major change in policies will have to be monitored closely. Trump has explicitly advocated the repeal of Obamacare, which in the short term should be positive for pharmaceutical companies. However, one would still expect measures to be introduced to control the cost of drugs. Consequently, and in line with our position as long-term investors, we will seek clarity on this issue before changing our views on the pharmaceutical sector.
From an economic perspective, a Trump win, following so soon after the Brexit vote, may have negative consequences for upcoming European elections. There will be greater uncertainty about the possibility of a radical party gaining widespread support and further undermining the stability of the European Union. Forthcoming polls include the Italian referendum on constitutional reform (Sunday 4th December 2016), the French presidential election (April – May 2017) and the German federal election (date to be confirmed but scheduled for August 2017 – October 2017).
On a sector basis, pharmaceuticals should be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Trump's victory. The sector has been under pressure following negative comments from Clinton with regards to the pricing of drugs by major pharmaceuticals companies. Share prices reacted positively across the sector on 9th November when the electoral result became clear. Novo Nordisk, which has commented recently about pricing pressure, and which lowered its long-term growth guidance at its latest set of results, was a notable performer.
Construction could be another beneficiary and the sector's stocks reacted positively to the result. Trump is perceived to want to increase infrastructure spending and, therefore, US-exposed construction firms will be beneficiaries. CRH plc, which is heavily exposed to the US, provides an example.
Automakers and their component suppliers could be among the losers, given many have significant exposure to North America. The sector has benefitted from the dollar's strength against the euro and some investors may harbour concerns given Trump's desire to protect domestic US manufacturers. Luxury goods companies exposed to the US, such as LVMH, Burberry and Hermes, also sold off due to concerns about Trump's view on imports into the US. The consumer staples sector also reacted negatively. For example, Anheuser-Busch InBev suffered on concerns over its exposure to the US, and the uncertainty surrounding the economy, and Mexico. The financials sector initially reacted badly. However, Southern European banks weighed down the overall sector, whilst the larger Northern European banks proved more resilient due to the reaction of bond markets. The lack of exposure of banks such as ABN and ING to oil also supported the sector.
The market's early reaction proved muted, certainly compared with the aftermath of the Brexit vote. Whilst the initial risk-off trade was understandable, the market appears to be placing increased emphasis on Trump's plans to boost public spending and reduce corporation tax, rather than some of the more extreme parts of his political agenda. The tone of Trump's speech following his poll win was certainly more conciliatory than his campaign rhetoric suggested it might be, and indicates that he understands the need to dilute some of his more aggressive policies in order to reach an accommodation with Congress.
In terms of sectors, we anticipate a relief rally in healthcare firms, which have suffered a significant valuation de-rating this year, reflecting Clinton's campaign focus on drug pricing. That said, there is still uncertainty over the impact on the sector of Trump's plan to repeal Obamacare. In addition, there are recent signs that pharmacy benefit managers have been exerting greater pressure on drug pricing (via increased rebates). Taken together, this will likely suppress share price gains.
In terms of potential new policies, Trump's plan to allow US corporates to repatriate their offshore cash holdings at a 10 per cent rate would be a major boost to those companies that have large cash piles sitting outside of the US. Technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google would be the main beneficiaries of this development and, as a consequence, some firms may deploy cash for M&A purposes. Infrastructure stocks (construction, materials and engineering names) should also benefit given Trump has indicated he would look to boost infrastructure spending.
Emerging Markets & Asia-Pacific
Following Trump's victory, the South Korean market was predictably weak. This was reflected in both the currency and the stock market. The weakness was particularly visible in exporters such as Samsung and Hyundai Motors, whilst the more domestically-focused companies, such as KT&G, a domestic tobacco manufacturer, and Kangwon Land, a casino operator, remained resilient
The Chinese markets provided a slight conundrum; the domestic A share market remained resilient, falling by only 0.5 per cent following the result, whilst the Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies fell by nearly 3 per cent. The domestic and retail focus of the Chinese domestic market has gone some way to insulating it from global events.
With the currency stable, the impact was felt directly through the equity market with blue chip technology companies such as TSMC falling by 3.5 per cent. Despite the protectionist rhetoric during the US presidential campaign, we struggle to see how the US can extricate itself from the supply chains that are so integral to its technology products.
India has helped further muddy the waters. On November 8th, the government announced the removal of all INR500 and INR1000 notes from circulation (£6/£12), removing the notes from legal tender as at midnight on November 8th. These notes account for 86 per cent of currency in circulation. Moreover, 98 per cent of consumer purchases are paid for in cash. The correction in the Indian equity market, which normally proves more resilient in volatile times, is in our view more closely linked to this event rather than the outcome of the US presidential poll. Hero Motorcorp (a scooter manufacturer) and ITC (a cigarette maker) both dropped by 3-4 per cent, suggesting that the currency announcement rather than the US election outcome is the focus of investor concern.
The Peso was at the epicentre of the market's concerns over Trump's potentially isolationist policies. It rallied from a record low, but was down by over eight per cent by the time the market closed on 9th November. The protectionist rhetoric during the presidential race presents a clear headwind to Mexico. We expect some of our more export-oriented investments to perform poorly at first. Rassini, the Mexican autoparts manufacturer, in all probability will perform exceptionally poorly. However, we take some comfort from the fact that its manufacturing capacity is split between both Mexico and the US, and furthermore, it now supplies 100 per cent of the leaf springs that go into US pick-up trucks. Imposing tariffs on these goods would simply result in direct price inflation to the US consumer. This cannot be said of all our investments in Mexico. However it does go some way to illustrate the level of integration between the two countries. Whether Trump's presidency will be as protectionist in practice as he sounded during the electoral campaign is a big question for the Mexican economy as a whole and not just the directly-impacted exporters.
Turning to the rest of EM, Russia could benefit from the early lifting of sanctions related to the Crimea/Donbass conflict, whilst in Turkey there is a perception that Trump is less likely to bring pressure on issues such as human rights and the free press than Clinton would have done. This has had opposing effects on the two equity markets with investors selling off Turkey, reflecting the view that Erdogan will have a free hand to impose his authoritarian rule, whilst Russia rallied, despite oil price weakness.
The long-term outlook for EM remains constructive, underpinned by structural drivers that cannot be changed overnight. Over the medium term, China remains our main concern, due to excessive credit growth. It is only the near-term trajectory for emerging markets that at this point is affected by current events. We, however, remain relatively sanguine. The current strength of the Chinese economy, exceptionally loose global monetary conditions, cheap valuations, and a gradual recalibration of developed market political risk should all be supportive of emerging market assets.
The Topix Index closed 4.5 per cent lower on 9th November, having fallen by as much as 6.2 per cent earlier in the day. Investors' initial fears focused on the risk to the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement, the possible impact of a strengthening yen against the US dollar on Japanese corporate profit growth and a lack of visibility on what the US Federal Reserve would do in December. Markets recovered later in the day with the yen rising by as much as 3.9 per cent against the US dollar. The yen ended the day with a 2.2 per cent gain.
The election result, and the likely policy measures, such as tax cuts, protectionist trade measures, and restrictions on immigration, may not prove adverse for the US economy, at least in the short term. Consequently, the outlook for the large Japanese corporates which are producing many goods within the US, e.g. Toyota Motor, Fuji Heavy Industries, remains positive. It is worth remembering that Japan is the main ally to the US in the Asia region. We understand the need to appear tough to get elected, but, President-elect Donald Trump is a businessman and he, and his team, are aware that the US will find Japan, rather than China, its most reliable partner in Asia.
In addition, for a number of years, Japanese corporates have been investing significantly within the US to manufacture locally, which may not be the case with other Asian countries. There is an opportunity to buy quality companies, specifically in domestic/defensives sectors, if the market as a whole sells off. We are also considering whether a tough trade stance by the US could lead to a strengthening of ties between Japan and South Asian countries. It is worth noting that the Topix Index trades at 13.6x on a price to earnings basis vs. 18x for the S&P500 Index.

Or dying.
Or on its way to its imminent demise.
Take a look at your favourite brand and you will notice one constant. But you will first need to strip away the 'hard sells' such as the glossy magazines, shiny billboards, fun radio jingles and creative television advertisements, before you get to that eureka moment.
Successful businesses are good storytellers.
They tell stories in different ways using different types of content. Content could be white papers, podcasts, infographics, blog articles, images, graphics, videos and tutorials.
Content could also be emotive, educative, inspiring, humorous or entertaining.
When done the right way, content persuades, or even compels action. The action could be you buying a product, signing up for a service, giving favourable reviews/recommendations, sharing that great content to your social media networks or saving the information for future use. You do these things because subconsciously, you feel that you 'owe' the brand.
Even if your company operates in a 'serious' sector such as oil exploration/production, manufacturing or biotechnology, you could still make your content memorable.
One way to do this is to develop a unique 'tone' for your communications. This makes your brand interesting, clearly distinguishing it from the pack.
Yet nothing would be worse than spending considerable time and resources creating superb content which has little or no positive impact on the business because you failed to promote it effectively.
So herein lies the dilemma - creating the type of content that would best represent your brand and serve your customers, ('the What'); and using the right methods/tools via which that content is disseminated to your audience for greater visibility and action, ('the How').
Addressing these two components, which form a larger six-component communications strategy, would help your brand become a key player in your field.
Choosing the right content: 'The What'
Firstly, decide whether content should follow the PESO model: paid, earned, sponsored or owned.
Once that is sorted, resist churning out content faster than your audience can comprehend, let alone retain. Instead, be clear about what you want it to achieve for your brand.
Thereafter, take the two actions below to help frame the creative process:
1) Find out what your customers/clients and other stakeholder groups want solved, such as what their greatest pain points are
Conduct surveys, check your customer complaint logs and ask questions. Know what your consumers require from your brand and try to add value to their lives. With time, you will be seen as trustworthy. The knowledge you glean from conversing with your audience will become ample fodder for your business content.
2) Check out your competitors and other industry leaders but develop your own content plan
Or spy on those you admire in your field.
Or on those longest in the game.
Check out what they have been doing, how they got it right and learn from their mistakes.
Browse through their websites; 'follow' them on social media; and take a peek at their blogs. Yes, the bigwigs not only have company blogs but have evolved their content to amplify their brands. For inspiration, check out the 10 best company blogs in the world.
Then go develop a content plan whereby you use specific content that not only addresses the concerns of your followers but also provokes emotions, thereby encouraging them to take action.
Remember that at the heart of a strong message is a good story.
Thus, strengthen your storytelling by mixing up different types of content. Remember that content could be videos, podcasts, e-books, etc.
Images are particularly powerful when incorporated with text. Copyblogger provides very useful information about the eight types of visuals that increase the psychological impact of your content, as well as where to find and create them. Therefore, boost your content with images and once again, make it informative, clever, homourous or entertaining.
Spreading/promoting the right content: 'The How'
Once you have decided on the type of content to promote, you will need to find out the best way to get that great story out to your audience using appropriate methods and tools. This development, whereby specific content is distributed to different stakeholders to fulfill defined business goals, in a nutshell is what content marketing entails.
Some basic advice for content marketing:
- Share your varied content in your social media accounts and engage with your followers in 'real' time or use a scheduling tool such as Sprout Social.
- Have a content calender to ensure a steady stream of content and launch contests, freebies, rewards, etc. (This is particularly popular with social media content).
The Mention software is also a helpful tool for actively monitoring your brand on the web to gain insights on how to improve its performance.
- Include a blog to your website to coax sales, conversions or to boost brand relevance.
There is also a wealth of information on content marketing on Twitter. Using the hashtag #ContentMarketing, you will find valuable articles about creating and compiling content, as well as advice for marketing your communications to grow your business.
But do more with social media...
...Because brands in this digital age are using technology to create more interesting experiences for customers.
Social media opens up a lot of opportunities for those receptive to digital tools. (If your company is yet to embrace social media, you need to seriously rethink its longevity in your field).
It is now not enough to have 'responsive websites' which are optimised for ease of navigation for mobile phone consumers, or to ensure that social media 'share' or 'follow' buttons are included on every page of your website.
Savvy brands know that having a good social media strategy is necessary for maximising its benefits to their businesses, as well for justifying the investments of time and money required. In this infographic, Visual.ly gives tips on defining your social media goals, deciding the metrics required for measuring those goals, developing specific actions and executing your strategy. Take their advice seriously.
Experts also recommend incorporating social media with PR and email marketing.
Even if you are a small business owner, you could still embrace suggestions made about social media on a smaller scale. Some believe that in just 15 minutes a day, you could accelerate your social media portfolio and create an impact with your content.
If you are passionate about your company, this post would hopefully have given you some ideas about how to leverage your brand's well-crafted content to dominate its niche.
What is important to note is that nothing beats passion for your brand.
Therefore, carefully select the communications professionals who will craft and manage your corporate storytelling. Give them the required support and the autonomy to passionately execute the vision for your brand in creative ways.
Key nuggets from this post:
- Developing your unique 'tone' in your communications and engaging with your audience differentiates your brand from the pack;
- Choosing the right type of content that resonates with your audience, ('The What'), whilst keeping tabs on your competitors, makes your brand trusted in its field;
- Using appropriate methods/tools for distributing the content, in addition to content marketing tactics, ('The How'), puts you on the right track towards brand relevance in your industry;
- Developing an effective social media strategy allows you make a greater impact with your content.
The desirable outcome?
Your brand will be vetted and promoted by your employees/consumers/partners/clients, thereby growing your business.
And you will never look back.
Advance and go wow them all with your business content!

The Dance Troupe at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB), established over 30 years ago, provides lively entertainment to audiences throughout the state and beyond. The Troupe performs for schools, colleges, civic and service organizations, and community events. Particularly noteworthy were performances at the State Capitol for the Florida Legislature, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., the 2005 Super Bowl pre-game show with Alicia Keys, and the 2006 Walt Disney Christmas Day Parade with Michael Bolton. Members of the Troupe have also rendered the National Anthem in American Sign Language during Jacksonville Jaguars home games.
Participating students, which include varsity athletes, Academic Bowl Team members and class officers, receive high school class credit in Fine Arts. Dance Troupe members are required to maintain a 2.5 GPA and are usually honor roll students.
Watch the Dance Troupe's final performance for the 2014-2015 school year.
Commonly Asked Question
Q: "Are these students really deaf? Can they 'feel' the rhythm of the songs through their feet?"
A: Yes, most Dance Troupe students are profoundly deaf; however, some are able to hear some sounds. Most cannot 'feel' any of the rhythms. A performance requires many hours of practice as students learn the steps and count out the beat of the song. On stage, students watch each other and are cued by their director.
Dance Troupe History
The Dance Troupe was first organized at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in 1971. It was formed under the direction of Cheryl Johnson, a teacher in the Physical Education, and later, the Deaf High School Department. In the early years, the Troupe provided signed interpretations for the music at various school events. Later, dance components were added, and a new performing group was born.
With Johnson's retirement, the Dance Troupe has passed into the very capable hands of Lia Ferrante, a teacher in the Deaf High School. With extensive dance and cheerleading background, Ferrante is leading the Troupe into a new era of ever more varied and complex choreography and showmanship.
