The Subject Group German is a licensed test centre of the Goethe Institute. On an annual basis the Goethe tests for acquiring international qualifications (proof of the language proficiency levels B1 and B2) take place in the School of Languages (E9) of the NWU in Potchefstroom. The Subject Group German works in close cooperation with the leading Goethe Institute which promotes the learning of German worldwide. Do visit the website of the Goethe Institute at www.goethe.de
Our teaching is communication oriented and takes an intercultural approach, focussing on:
- Understanding and speaking German in everyday conversational situations;
- Reading a wide range of different kinds of German texts;
- Writing a wide range of different kinds of texts;
- Acquiring knowledge of German grammar that is suitable for each level and which supports the communicate abilities being developed;
- Acquiring knowledge of the German economy and communication in German in business contexts. (The latter pertains specifically to the Business German modules.)
- German literature and the history of literature. At the beginning of the second year starts a "literary journey" with the Baroque era and ends on undergraduate level with contemporary literature. The purpose of this focus is to enable students to acquire knowledge about German literature, culture and history, but also, in doing so, to develop their communicative abilities.
Undergraduate modules
- German Elementary 1 and 2 (German for beginners on first-year level);
- Business German 1 and 2 (German for beginners with a focus on communication in business contexts – on first-year level);
- German Intermediary 1 and 2 (on second-year level);
- German Advanced 1 and 2 (on third-year level)
- German Elementary is a beginners' module and no previous knowledge is required.
- The prerequisite for German Intermediary is German Elementary, but a student with matric German and/or a qualification from an acknowledged language institute (like the Goethe Institute) may apply for exemption from German on first-year level in order to continue with German on second-year level (provided that the student is also historically a second-year student).
Honours programme
Apart from this, an honours programme in German (linguistics and literature) in cooperation with the University of Pretoria is also offered. Students can also apply for DAAD bursaries to in order to finance continuing their studies in Germany in their own field: http://bit.ly/23u3Y1L Students can also apply for DAAD "contact bursaries" at universities in Germany, for example, the Universität Rostock: http://www.uni-rostock.de/en/ Learning German at the NWU is a preparation for such an exciting academic and cultural experience.

While AOL's local news website neywork Patch struggles to keep its team intact, Google thinks it can do local news right.
Google is internally testing a geographically based local news product to add to its Google Now service, Quartz's Christopher Mims reports.
By taking advantage of Google Now's wealth of user information, a local news product from Google would have the potential to present users with relevant news tied to their specific location.
Google's vice president of search and assist, Johanna Wright, tells Quartz that the service will be "hyper-local."
That sounds like an automated, algorithm-based version of what Patch is doing right now. Patch and other local news providers have struggled to turn local news into a profitable business. Patch is expensive to run but has gathered only a small audience.
Currently testing the service herself, Wright says that she has been able to see when the local Chipotle is giving out free burritos, when her son's school has a special guest, and even when a local crimes happens.
If testing goes well, local news would likely be added to Google Now's collection of individual subsections, called "cards." So in addition to your Weather, Traffic, and Appointment cards in Google Now, you would also have one titled Local News.
Getting people to use such a local news feature will be bolstered by the inclusion of Google Now in all modern Android phones, and further availability through the search engine's "Google Search App" for iOS.
Through direct integration with an already established product such as Google Now, the search giant might just be able to crack the local news conundrum.

Have you heard about vegan coffee? The first time I heard about this coffee triggers my curiosity and want to more about it. So, here's what I found out.
Vegan coffee or other's called it a bulletproof coffee is often used by people who are on a fast, or for people who wants to lose weight.
This bulletproof coffee is proven effective to keep hunger at bay, it improves mental function, jump-starts your digestion, and stabilizes coffee's effect on blood sugar.
So, I think this vegan coffee can also be drink by me diabetic friends out there. No more worrying for high blood sugar level, because this coffee drink is sugar friendly and has all vegan ingredients.
Bulletproof coffee calls for non-toxic coffee, free of herbicides and pesticides. It also contains MCT fats. One ingredient that bulletproof coffee normally has in it is grass fed butter. But with today's blog, we are not going to have that because I will be sharing with you a Vegan Bulletproof Coffee.
If you want to know how grass fed butter affects our daily cup of Joe CLICK HERE
The star of the show for our vegan coffee is a coconut oil. Bulletproof coffee is not only a great way to add coconut oil to your diet, but it also helps the caffeine to last longer and digest at a slower rate.
It gets a little more time before you use to drinking coffee with coconut oil, but adding a little almond milk or full-fat coconut milk helps in taste and an even better consistency.
Here are the full steps on how to do the Vegan Bulletproof Coffee
1 cup organic coffee
1 tablespoon coconut oil or coconut butter*
2 tablespoons – 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or full-fat coconut milk (optional)
5 drops stevia (optional)
Blend freshly brewed coffee with the rest of ingredients in a blender or NutriBullet. Coconut oil blends better with hot coffee.
Note: You can use coconut oil or coconut butter depending on your choice and taste preferences.

About All Pest Exterminating
All Pest Exterminating is dedicated to protecting homes and businesses in the Knoxville community and surrounding areas from pests. That's why the Owens' family and their team offer an array of services that will exterminate any current pests and prevent any future pests from infiltrating your property.
Pest Control Knoxville Tennessee
Since the area experiences muggy, hot summers and short, cold winters, it's important that homeowners hire a trusted pest control Knoxville TN company like All Pest Exterminating. By hiring us, you won't have to deal with the stress or danger of attempting to solve your pest problem by yourself.
All Pest Exterminating offers one of the most extensive Knoxville pest control services. This means that they not only offer standard bug extermination, but also have animal control services. So, you don't have to worry about small bugs or larger animals damaging your property.
A large part of our pest control services includes bug extermination. All Pest Exterminating is proud to be regarded as a leading exterminator in Knoxville TN. As one of the most reliable pest control services in the area, we specialize in exterminating various kinds of bugs, such as: ants, bed bugs, fire ants, fleas, mosquitos, roaches, spiders, termites, ticks, and wasps.
Termite Extermination Knoxville TN
Although we come in contact with various bugs, our termite services are some of the most popular services we offer. Termite services are especially important in Knoxville because termites often affect critical access points of a home, such as a home's foundation.
Termites are attracted to wood places that are hidden and preferably dark. This means that places, such as your home's foundation, walls, and other structural elements, are very appealing to termites.
This is a problem for various reasons. Firstly, since termites like hidden dark places, you most likely won't know you have a termite problem until the problem is serious. Unfortunately, since termites target critical access points in your home, it doesn't take a long time until the issue gets out of hand.
That being said, if you're suspicious that you have a termite problem, you should call us as soon as possible. Sagging floors and structural elements that appear to be hollow are common signs of a termite issue.
If you are unsure if you have a termite problem, or simply want to check on the health of your home in terms of pests, feel free to give us a call to talk to one of our pest control specialists. After all, a termite inspection never hurts, even if you don't have a termite problem.
Bees are another pest that we commonly deal with. At All Pest Exterminating, we understand the importance of bees. That's why we ensure that every bee removal service we complete is done in a humane way that will keep the bees alive.
Even though bees are an endangered species that are important to nature, they can be annoying and dangerous to have around your home or business. After all, bee stings are extremely painful, and some people are deathly allergic to them. That being said, you don't want to risk harm just to keep them alive.
That's where we step in. We ensure that we clear your property of any bees. This means that we will remove and transport the hive and bees to a safe location where they will thrive. Then, we tend to your property to ensure that you won't have a future bee problem.
Another key part of our pest control services is animal control. Knoxville, TN and the surrounding area is home to some of the most diverse and beautiful animals in the United States. While these creatures add a unique and important touch to Knoxville's nature, they can be potentially harmful to your property.
That's why Knoxville animal control is important. Since animals are potentially dangerous, especially if they have a disease, it's important that you hire a professional like All Pest Exterminating to take care of your wildlife problem.
Common animals that we encounter in our animal control service include; mice, raccoons, bats, squirrels, snakes, and birds. But, this doesn't mean that we can't help you with other types of animal control problems. Since all of our employees are specially trained, they are prepared to take on any kind of animal control issue you might have.
Like our bee removal process, we understand the importance of treating animals with care. That's why we ensure that we humanely treat all animals we encounter during an animal control call. Essentially, our goal is to make sure the animals won't infiltrate your property anymore. This doesn't mean that we want to fully exterminate them. Instead, we will simply relocate them and make sure your property is in a good condition where you won't encounter these problems again.
For more information about any of our pest control services, give us a call today at (865) 245-0284 to talk to one of our specially trained pest control representatives!

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields, on the order of 1014 G. As the source of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe, they are ideal objects to study the behavior of matter and light in this extreme environment. SGRs emit recurrent short duration, 0.1s, bursts of soft gamma-rays/hard X-rays that are expected to be highly polarized in the 2-10 keV energy range. By measuring the polarization of these bursts we can learn about the strength and configuration of the magnetic fields, the geometry of the emission region and the mass/radius relationship of the neutron star. Using the archival RXTE/PCA data we analyzed ~3 Ms of observations for SGR1806-20 and SGR1900+14. Over 5000 bursts were detected from the sources and each distribution of burst fluence was found to be well fit by a power law with an exponent of 1.60±0.02 for SGR1806-20 and 1.64±0.03 for SGR1900+14. The power law form holds over 4 magnitudes of fluence and the exponents were found to be independent of the level of burst activity. The exponent values suggest that SGR bursts are associated with a self-organized critical system, similar to earthquakes.
To measure the polarization of SGR bursts a wide-field-of-view, large area detector is needed. To accomplish this we designed and tested a negative ion time projection chamber (NITPC) X-ray polarimeter which uses nitromethane (CH3NO¬2) as an electronegative gas additive. Utilizing a double gas electron multiplier (GEM) NITPC with CO2+CH3NO2 as a gas mixture we successfully measured gas gains, imaged photoelectron tracks and measured distributions of their length, measured drift velocity of negative ions in various electric fields, and measured modulation from polarized and unpolarized X-ray sources between 3 and 8 keV. Based on the lab instrument results and our SGR burst fluence analysis we propose an instrument appropriately sized for a NASA Small Mission Explorer Mission (SMEX) that would be capable of measuring the polarization of hundreds of bursts from an SGR in a state of high burst activity.

Airmen assigned to the 20th Operations Support Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base are preparing for an Air Force specialty code merger scheduled for November 2017.Currently separated into two shops, ground radar systems and airfield systems Airmen have begun working together to meet training milestones and increase their understanding of the work their coworkers do. The Airmen will also be aligned with their industry counterparts who perform all ground radar and airfield systems tasks under one career field. Once the merger is complete, all technicians will be expected to have a working knowledge of how to maintain the equipment each section was previously responsible for. This includes all ground-to-air communications, navigations and weather systems, as well as the radars air traffic controllers use to guide aircraft.

I've always wanted to be very independent. The ideas I had in my mind, I wanted to make a reality and whenever those dreams felt out of reach or taken away, I would find myself crushed and my confidence fading away.
A Little History
In college, I really wanted to study abroad. It was a dream of mine to live somewhere else. I wanted that experience more than anything. I struggled with my grades and wasn't able to apply. I tried looking for other alternatives, but I was navigating it alone and kept hitting roadblocks. Studying abroad never happened. I eventually thought I was never meant to travel.
In my senior year of college, I wanted to buy my own car and my parents surprised me with a red SUV. I was really excited, but a part of me also felt like a growing experience had been taken away. I wanted to have to go to a car dealership, figure out how to navigate that situation (Chris said he would go with me), and come out on the other side, even if that meant a loan.
When I became a personal trainer, I thought I would pursue a full time job with a PT specific company. It was a bit daunting to think about navigating - creating a resume, going to an interview, etc. But it was the next step and I was going to push through and make it happen. Then my parents opened up a gym where I could help manage, personal train, and hold classes. It was awesome, but in the end I wanted (and needed) my own identity, something that I created and wasn't handed.
I probably sound completely ungrateful. Maybe spoiled. And I won't fault you for judging me. I am grateful (and spoiled), but I also need to be me. I need to know that I can do things on my own. That I am strong. That I can make my dreams a reality. That I can persevere through the tough times and find success on the other side.
Gaining My Confidence Back
My confidence has been lacking for a long time. You can ask Chris - I'm always talking about how I can't do something. When I became a stay-at-home mom and left the world of personal training, I put all my energy into my little ones. Their identity became my identity.
I remember when N was about to go to Preschool and I panicked - All three of our kiddos would be in school soon. We need to have more babies! Chris went white in the face when I said that, haha. We didn't need more babies. I needed my own identity.
I needed to find me again. I needed to gain my confidence back and start pursuing my dreams. That's when I started remodeling our house. I didn't have the skills, but with Chris's support, I took it one step at a time and figured it out. My confidence grew a little and our house transformed.
I also started decluttering, realizing that I didn't need to fill the void I felt with stuff. We saved money and we found that our home was too big. We talked about downsizing and Chris stepping away from his corporate career to pursue his own dream of working for himself. And if we could make an income remotely, then we could live where ever we wanted. I had always dreamed of experiencing life somewhere else and never thought that would be an option. And now it might happen!
Chris and I are here, working on Keep Thrifty every day (well, 5 days a week) and love what we do. Chris gets to work on growing his coding skills, and talk finance. I dreamed up our Freedom Story Series, put it out there, gotten the chance to meet so many awesome people, and am starting to network with companies that bring you awesome tools to help you accomplish your dreams.
I'm being me. I'm dreaming, pursuing, not giving up, and building my confidence. My dream of living somewhere else is in the works and Chris is by my side, supporting and navigating with me.
I shared a bit of our journey and our plans for location independence with Laurie at The Three Year Experiment. Check out it!

Out On The Floor – Manchester
Date: Friday 02nd November 2018 19:00
Venue: The Bridgewater Hall
The most anticipated Motown and Northern Soul music event, with a live orchestra, is stomping its way into 2018! The innovative Manchester Camerata orchestra along with renowned composer Joe Duddell will perform the very best of Northern Soul and Motown in Manchester – home of the Twisted Wheel.
Expect tracks such as Long After Tonight is Over by Jimmy Radcliffe, Do I Love You by Frank Wilson, Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell and much, much more. Joe Duddell said: "I cut my teeth playing this kind of music as a teenager. I'm very excited to be invited to arrange such an amazing body of work for orchestra and perform it with Manchester Camerata. Expect a deeply sympathetic, re-imagined show paying homage to some of the classics."
Glastonbury openers, UK Ensemble of the Year (RPS Music Awards 2017) and 'Probably Britain's most adventurous orchestra' (The Times) – Manchester Camerata redefine what an orchestra can do. Famous for innovation, the orchestra pops up in all sorts of places, from concert halls to care homes, and collaborates with a spectrum of artists, from classical superstar Martha Argerich to iconic band, New Order and now stepping into the world of the much beloved Motown and Northern Soul.
Bob Riley, CEO Manchester Camerata said; 'Camerata is all about the sound and energy of an orchestra in live performance, whatever the music we are playing. Joe is one of the best in the business and so to collaborate with him to find that instantly recognisable and distinctive Motown and Northern Soul sound will be a real treat.'

It depends. Most juvenile delinquencies are automatically sealed once the person turns 21. And some records may never be sealed...
When someone gets adjudged delinquent as a juvenile in Nevada, the delinquency goes on that child's juvenile record. When the child turns 21, the delinquencies will be automatically sealed from his/her record UNLESS the charges involved:
- battery with intent to rape
- lewdness with a child
- any other violent felony (or threat to use violence)
For these above charges, the child has the burden of petitioning the juvenile court to seal the record in Nevada. And if any of these charges are still on the child's record by the time he/she reaches 21, he/she will need to wait until age 30 to ask to the juvenile court to seal it. And even then, the court may choose not to seal it, especially if the child has picked up other offenses as an adult.
Note that children can try to petition the Nevada juvenile court to get their juvenile records sealed prior to turning age 21. However, children must wait at least 3 years from the time they are adjudged delinquent before asking for the court for the record seal. Read more information on sealing juvenile records in Nevada.

Auto Accidents And Accident Lawyers
Accident attorneys handle several cases that are associated with accidents, especially auto accidents. Generally, immigration lawyer at Parramatta NSW are expected to protect the rights of their clients. This means that they must be familiar with the law that protects accident victims. These lawyers can at times liaise with insurance companies, to ensure that the victim is fully compensated for the accident.
Most of accident attorneys are committed to help accident victims in making their claims. There are many forms of accidents. It can be auto crush, an accident at the workplace, a dog bite and so forth. These lawyers will only be on the side of the victim. It goes without saying that accidents happen every day. It is something that humans cannot control. And no one is immune to accidents. It can occur to anyone. Unfortunately, there are many people who are involved in serious accidents on a daily basis but do not seek professional legal assistance. Even so, it is of utmost importance to ensure the accident victim is fully compensated.
Claims for accidents, especially auto accidents can be significant and lawyers can help individuals in processing such claims. More often than not, they work with insurance firms to ensure that the victim gets a fair hearing. They will also help the victim gather all the information and documents he or she may need to make the claim. It is worth bearing in mind that insurance companies have many complex processes and policies that an average person may find impossible to follow. For this reason, it is imperative for the victim to get someone who can help him or her through the process. The solicitor can work with the insurance company and to ensure that the victim is not cheated in any way. He or she will be able to explain the policies in a layman's language. This way, the victim will be able to understand everything.
It goes without saying that car accidents make the biggest percentage of injuries every year. A good lawyer will help the victim and ensure that he or she is compensated accordingly. It can sometimes prove difficult for a lawyer to work with a victim who has been seriously injured. But they will still need to help them. It is the right of the victim to be compensated, whether the injury was serious or small. The time that the claim will take to be processed will depend on the nature of the case. Most lawyers can estimate the time a case can take. While some cases will take days to be complicated, others may take years. It is of extreme importance to keep all the evidence required to win the case.
It should be remembered that lawyers are not notary publics. There is a thick line between an attorney and a divorce lawyers at Withstand Lawyers. Basically, notary publics are meant to witness the signing of legal documents. They are usually hired by the state, meaning they are public servants. A public notary may not be required to offer legal advice since they are not lawyers.

ALBION, Mich. – Albion College blitzed Kalamazoo College with a 13-0 run to start the second half as it pulled away for an 88-61 victory in Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association men's basketball action.
Albion (11-4 overall, 4-0 MIAA) has won its first four league contests for the first time since 2010. The Britons continue to play at home at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when they challenge Trine University in a game set for video streaming on the Albion You Tube channel by the Briton Sports Network.
Kalamazoo shot 52 percent from the field and Jeremiah Vincent scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half as the Hornets trailed by just a point at halftime.
"There was a refocus on playing the way we needed to play," Albion Head Coach Jody May said. "We were worried about the wrong things in the first half. Our game plan was to keep them out of the lane and we didn't do a very good job of that. We were fine once we settled down and started playing the right way."
Albion hit 57 percent (17-of-30) of its shots in the second half. Quinton Armstrong scored eight of his 12 points in the second half. Caden Ebeling and Juwan Perry added seven points apiece in the second half.
Jamezell Davis, Jr. was Albion's leading scorer with 14. Ebeling finished with 13, Perry added 11 and Nathaniel Collins chipped in with 10.

How Broken Bones Repair Themselves
It's easy to think of our bones as solid, lifeless matter where all of our living tissue just sits. But your skeleton is as much a living part of your being as your softer tissues and organs. The body stores minerals in the hard, compact bone. It produces red blood cells in the inner red marrow and stores fat in the yellow marrow.
It's important to remember that your bones are constantly changing. Cells called osteoclasts constantly break down old bone so that osteoblasts can replace it with new bone tissue -- a process called bone remodeling. Another type of cell called a chondroblast forms new cartilage. These are three of the primary cells responsible for bone growth -- and not just the bone growth you experience early in life. This constant bone remodeling gradually replaces old bone tissue with new tissue during the course of months.
Almost immediately after the break, the body begins to try and put itself back together again. Doctors often divide the overall process into four phases:
- When a bone breaks, the fissure also severs the blood vessels running down the length of the bone. Blood leaks out of these veins and quickly forms a clot called a fracture hematoma. This helps to stabilize the bone and keep both pieces lined up for mending. The clot also cuts off the flow of blood to the jagged bone edges. Without fresh blood, these bone cells quickly die. Swelling and inflammation follow due to the work of cells removing dead and damaged tissue. Tiny blood vessels grow into the fracture hematoma to fuel the healing process.
- After several days, the fracture hematoma develops tougher tissue, transforming it into a soft callus. Cells called fibroblasts begin producing fibers of collagen, the major protein in bone and connective tissue. Chondroblasts then begin to produce a type of cartilage called fibrocartilage. This transforms the callus into a tougher fibrocartilaginous callus, which bridges the gap between the two pieces of bone. This callus generally lasts for about three weeks.
- Next, osteoblasts move in and produce bone cells, transforming the callus into a bone callus. This hard shell lasts three to four months, and it provides necessary protection and stability for the bone to enter the final stage of healing.
- At this point, the body establishes the position of the bone within the flesh, begins reabsorbing bits of dead bone, and creates a hard callus to bridge the gap between the two pieces of bone. However, this bulge of tissue needs a lot of work before the bone can take any strain. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts spend months remodeling bone by replacing the bone callus with harder compact bone. These cells also decrease the callus bulge, gradually returning the bone to its original shape. The bone's blood circulation improves and the influx of bone-strengthening nutrients, such as calcium and phosphorus, strengthen the bone.
But even in the best of cases, fractures often require medical attention to heal as smoothly as possible. Did Humpty Dumpty just need the help of a talented orthopedist? Learn how doctors help broken bones heal properly on the next page.

It is nothing new, that a report of your credit is ordered when applying for a loan. But in recent years, your credit standings are used to determine so much more, like how much you will pay for auto and home owners insurance. Your credit can also be used by potential employers as a criterion for offering you a job. That 3 digit number wields a great deal of power these days. So just how is that number determined? Maybe more important is how can you control it?
The next few posts will touch of some of these questions to help you understand, what a credit score is, how it is determined, how to build a good credit score, and how to repair a low score.
Part 1 – What goes into a credit score?
Your credit score will include four types of information: public record, credit, credit inquiries and personal. Information of public record are pieces reported by the judicial system. It may include judgments, foreclosures, bankruptcies, tax liens, or overdue child support. Depending on what type of information is disclosed on your report, the data could stay there for 7-15 years.
Credit information is data relating to specific accounts you have or have had in the past. For each account the date opened, credit limit (or original loan amount), balance, payment amount and payment history will be listed. Your report will also detail those accounts you are a co-borrower on. Negative information can remain for up to 7 years from the date it was last reported. Fortunately positive information can remain indefinitely.
Requests by other creditors to review your credit history will also be listed on your report along with the date requested. This information is visible to anyone else who may request your credit. Information for the purpose of extending pre-approved credit offers are only revealed to you and do not impact your overall credit score.
Personal information includes your name, address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, employer and sometimes your job title. The report will include both current and past information.
Knowing this, it is easy to see why your credit report is so important to understand and monitor. The next post will touch on what goes into determining your actual score.

Award Challenges
I know that there is information posted on the Awards page https://gopro.com/awards but yesterday I noticed on Instagram that there was a #GoProChallenge that I don't see on the Awards page. This got me thinking that there is probably a lot of activity on the GoPro Facebook and Instagram sites that doesn't get advertised on GoPro.com. Granted, the push is to have members engaging on these social sites, and I understand that the amount of traffic to the support site is relatively low; however, perhaps there is a way to advertise these events/challenges on the Support site that will help drive more traffic to Instagram and Facebook.
I've also noticed that there are certain keywords and hashtags that are needed. Quik Story videos GoPro wants tagged with #QuikStory ... or is it #QuikStories, or both? To participate in the challenges it should be #GoProChallenge ? Should Facebook and Instagram post have @GoPro in the message body? Any tips on tags for YouTube videos? Are there other tags or keywords members should be using?
Obviously the way in which members post to social sites is important beyond just member recognition. Quarterly reports often tout the activity of GoPro members on these sites and I can only assume that it is through proper tagging that they are able to do this. I'm sure that it is equally important for the marketing department.
Perhaps we could put together a "How To Show Your Stuff and Get Noticed" write up or tutorial on the support site. Equally, perhaps there could be a way to help members get engaged on these sites. I know Showcase never took off, but I also feel that it may have been hampered by it's low visibility. Granted, there isn't much room, but a highly visible link to a place where people can be introduced to the thriving social media sites, learn how to get noticed and appropriately tag their work, and perhaps even get suggestions on how to create media for these sites (format for Instagram/facebook, best camera settings, cool filters, etc) might be very beneficial to GoPro.
Re: Award Challenges
Identifying Your Content Made with a GoPro Camera https://gopro.com/legal/trademarks
"The content you create is inspiring and we want to make sure that the world can distinguish between content you have created and original content produced by GoPro. The best way to let us and the world know that your content is "Shot with my GoPro camera" is to use our software tools on Desktop (GoPro Studio and GoPro for Desktop) and Mobile (GoPro App, Quik, and Splice). When sharing any content, either motion or stills, created with your GoPro camera, tag #GoPro in the description and/or title of the content as well."
While it mentions the #GoPro tag, I'm pretty sure there are others that are used as well.
Also, since GoPro Studio is no longer supported, is there a way to get stock GoPro logo video intros for the different products? I liked having the intro we used to get with the model of camera used when using templates in GoPro Studio. It would be great to have some of these as stand alone for each of the cameras and Karma. If not the short video intro, full res photos would be cool with the GoPro logo, camera, gear etc. Finally, while on this topic, do you happen to know what font is used for Karma and also the GoPro name? I assume they are custom, but if not, do you happen to know the font names and possibly where they can be downloaded?

Re: Award Challenges
Hello @danielr15,
Very good points you have here. Thank you for sharing. I have listed down your queries and will be writing back as soon as I have confirmed the answers. So far, I was able to search regarding the logo. I got information from https://fontmeme.com/gopro-logo-font/ that came first when I Google-searched. It says: "The company logo was probably designed based on the font Neuropol, with slight modifications on the letter "G". For the tagline "Be a HERO", it is set in Eurotile Bold (Be a) and Verdana Bold Italic (HERO)."
Will keep you posted.
Best regards,

WILLOW CITY, N.D. — The remains of a North Dakota sailor who was killed at Pearl Harbor will soon be coming home for burial.
Navy Fireman 1st Class Lawrence Fecho will be buried with full military honors during a service on Aug. 13 in Willow Creek.
According to the Minot Daily News , Fecho was on the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor when the ship was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. It was hit by multiple torpedoes from a Japanese aircraft and capsized. A total of 429 crewmen died, including Fecho.
No single vessel at Pearl Harbor, with the exception of the USS Arizona, suffered as many fatalities, according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
Many of the deceased were not immediately identified. The American Graves Registration Service eventually buried the unidentified remains at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii.
In 2015, the Department of Defense ordered that unidentified remains from the USS Oklahoma be exhumed and analyzed. Fecho's remains were recently identified through DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence.
Fecho was the 10th of 12 children of William and Katherine Fecho. The family lived on a farm near Willow City.
The youngest sibling, Betty Fecho Anderson, is now 90 and lives in Mesa, Arizona. She says she's the only sibling still alive.
She provided DNA and learned earlier this year that his remains had been identified.
Anderson and a number of relatives, including about 25 nieces and nephews, will attend the services for Fecho.
"We waited a long time," Anderson said.

• Aviva Investors commits £15.4m to NHS Tayside energy efficiency project, including a £7.7m indirect investment from the UK Green Investment Bank
• New energy centre to be constructed at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School
• Perth Royal Infirmary and Stracathro Hospital to benefit from energy-saving improvements
Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc (Aviva), is to provide funding for a programme of energy efficiency measures for NHS Tayside.
The £15.4m project will include the construction of an energy centre at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee.
Aviva Investors has made the investment through its REaLM infrastructure funds on behalf of clients including the UK Green Investment Bank plc (GIB), which is indirectly investing £7.7m in the project.
The energy centre will provide 90% of the power and 100% of the heat for Ninewells, which also houses Tayside Children's Hospital and Maggie's Cancer Centre Dundee.
LED lighting and insulation will be installed at Perth Royal Infirmary and Stracathro Hospital near Brechin as part of the project.
The programme, which is due for completion in December 2016, is expected to cut energy costs at NHS Tayside by 10%.
NHS Tayside, one of the 14 regions of NHS Scotland, provides health services for a population of approximately 410,000 people in the local government areas of Dundee, Angus, and Perth & Kinross.
A 25-year performance contract has been signed with Vital Energi, which was procured under the Carbon Energy Fund (CEF) framework. Vital will be responsible for the design, construction, installation and on-going operation and maintenance of the technology for the duration of that agreement.
Scotland Office minister Andrew Dunlop said:
This is an extremely welcome announcement as it combines enlightened investment with energy efficiency and the best of Scottish innovation. This centre will make a real difference to the costs of providing energy to hospitals in Tayside and is another example of UK institutional investors supporting infrastructure projects which will be of benefit to the wider public.
Mark Anderson, Head of Property, NHS Tayside, said:
This project is designed to make our hospital sites more energy efficient and enhance the service and environment for the patients and staff of NHS Tayside. It fits clearly with our strategic theme of delivering high-quality care in the right place through safer, effective, resilient and sustainable services.
Lord Smith of Kelvin, Chair, UK Green Investment Bank, said :
This investment will make three NHS Tayside hospitals much more energy efficient, cutting costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Of those hospitals, Ninewells is already internationally recognised for developing innovative technology in its operating theatres and we are encouraged that the health board is also taking a pioneering approach to the way it produces and consumes energy.
Ian Berry, Head of Infrastructure, Aviva Investors, said:
This project continues our long-term commitment to bring institutional investors to finance UK infrastructure projects. It is a fantastic development that will provide a range of benefits for the three hospitals. Aviva Investors' proposition in infrastructure has been designed to respond to our clients' need for outcome-oriented solutions, offering long-term, secure, inflation-linked income and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Ashley Main, Project Development Director, Vital Energi, said:
This project is exceptionally exciting for us as it shows that financial savings and carbon reduction can be achieved by the public sector working in collaboration with the private sector on these innovative energy projects. The combination of energy generation and energy management initiatives have been proven to be an effective approach for health boards that are committed to lowering their carbon emissions.
