Social Marketing Defined
Social Marketing is a process that uses marketing principles and techniques to influence target audience behaviors that will benefit society, as well as the individual. This strategically oriented discipline relies on creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have positive value for individuals, clients, partners, and society at large.
Principles Shared with Other Disciplines
Many of social marketing's key characteristics have been widely adopted by other fields, and in turn social marketing has integrated practices developed elsewhere. Among the important characteristics it shares with others are:
- AUDIENCE ORIENTATION: Social marketers view their audience as decision-makers with choices, rather than students to be educated, or incorrigibles to be regulated. Social Marketing begins with a bottom-up versus a top-down perspective, and therefore rejects the paternalist notion that "experts know what is best and will tell people how to behave for their own good" in favor of an audience-centered approach which seeks to understand what people want and provides them support in acquiring it.
- SEGMENTATION: In order to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, subsets of populations are selected, evaluated, and then prioritized as targets based on useful aggregation variables. The segments selected are those most likely to adopt the intended behavior or most important to the organization's goals, and to provide value in yielding societal benefit.Even among difficult to reach populations, strategies are developed that appeal to those within the chosen population that are the "most ready for action."
- BEHAVIOR FOCUS: Behavior is defined as an individual's observable action or lack of action. Social marketing is interested in behavior that results in societal benefit. Many marketing strategies also have intermediate responses, but Social Marketing success is ultimately measured on whether the desired behavior was adopted. It is not sufficient to merely change awareness, knowledge, attitudes, or behavioral intentions.
- EVALUATION: Efforts are evaluated, focusing on ongoing measurement of outcomes (levels of target audience behavior change), and the intended impact this has had on societal benefits. Social Marketing is a continuous process in which evaluation and monitoring provide data on the audience's preferences and the environmental changes necessary to maintain and expand the impact of programs.
- CONSIDERATION OF UPSTREAM & MIDSTREAM TARGET AUDIENCES: Efforts to influence individuals downstream are often enhanced by also targeting those who are upstream (policy makers, corporations), and/or those who are midstream (e.g. friends, family and other influential others).
Unique Principles
While social marketing integrates many characteristics common to other forms of behavior change, four core principles remain truly unique to social marketing.
- VALUE EXCHANGE: Social Marketing is unique with respect to other behavior change tools in that the offer that is made is based on an understanding of the target audience's perceived self-interest that will be rewarded for performing the desired behavior. The concept of value exchange states that consumers will choose a behavior in exchange for receiving benefits they consider valuable and/or reducing barriers that they consider to be important. An exchange may result when the marketer has created a program that is perceived by each side to provide value.
- RECOGNITION OF COMPETITION: In a free-choice society there are always alternative options available. Competition can be described in terms of choice offerings available in the environment that lead to alternative behaviors. Social Marketing strategies lead to a unique exchange offering that is perceived by the audience to have greater value than that of any other available option.
- THE 4Ps OF MARKETING: Product, Place, Price and Promotion represent the fundamental building blocks of Social Marketing interventions. These tools are used to reduce the barriers that make it difficult for people to behave as desired, and to increase the benefits that induce people to be more likely to behave. The tools are used in concert to develop a favorably perceived relationship that is more appealing than all alternate choices. Social marketers assess and then balance the need for, and use of, these four elements to influence optimal change.
- SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainability results from continuous program monitoring and subsequent adjustment to changes occurring in the audience and environmental condition. This is necessary to achieve long run behavior.
It is not enough to define Social Marketing and show its shared and unique principles. It also is important to be clear about how it differs from other important approaches to behavior change. Being different does not make any approach superior to any other, but these distinctions signal opportunities for Social Marketing to make a unique contribution.
- COMMERCIAL MARKETING: Social marketing is built upon many of the traditional processes and principles of commercial marketing, especially Customer Orientation, Exchange Theory, Competition, Segmentation, the 4Ps, Relationships, and a Service Orientation. Social Marketing differs in that the primary responsibility of commercial marketers is to increase the company's wealth by increasing individuals' well being, whereas the primary responsibility of social marketers is to increase individual and societal well-being.
- COMMUNICATIONS: Communications is a process involved with every human activity and is widely used by many approaches to behavior change. In Social Marketing, communications refers to the activity that describes the benefits of the offering, its price and accessibility to the target audience. Communicating the integrated value of the marketing mix is unique to social marketing, and is not offered by any other communication discipline. Communications alone generally is not sufficient to influence behaviors.
- REGULATION: Regulation also seeks to influence behaviors for the benefit of society, but often does so by increasing the cost of undesired competing behaviors (e.g.: penalties for breaking laws), rather than increasing the benefits of desired behaviors. Those regulations that offer a benefit for an appropriate behavior (e.g.: various tax incentives) more closely fit within the rubric of social marketing. Social marketers also have a role to play in influencing policy makers to adopt regulations (upstream changes) that complement and accelerate behavior changes among large-scale audiences, and to increase compliance with existing regulations.
- SOCIAL MEDIA: Social media leverage the social networks of target audiences, and are more personal and interactive forms of message delivery than are the traditional mass media. From a conceptual perspective, though, these electronic systems are similar to print, broadcast, and outdoor, in that each are ways of delivering messages and are, therefore, a subset of Communications.
- NONPROFIT MARKETING: The marketing function for nonprofit organizations often focuses on fund-raising, advocacy and program development, as well as, supporting utilization of the organization's products and services.
Unique Value Proposition
Social Marketing's unique position in the marketplace of behavior change ideas is to integrate the shared and unique characteristics described above into a program of behavior change. Social marketing is a process rooted in the belief that more than words and/or regulations are needed in order to succeed at influencing people's behavior. Social marketers understand and build upon the consumer's perception of:
- Self-interest
- Barriers to behavior, and
- Competitive forces that create attractive choices.
These lead to interventions that
- Reduce barriers, and
- Increase benefits that matter to the audience and, in the end, move people to action.

When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking. This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely remove them during staging. So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept (dependency_libs is still emptied).

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script. Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases. To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix. To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro, USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version. For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile: USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15 To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile: USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15 With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent .la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

At a recent career mentoring program sponsored by Career Services and
Alumni Relations at Case Western Reserve University, a panel of young
alumni offered some lessons learned to students majoring within the same
field. The panel consisted of fairly recent graduates who shared career
advice gleaned from their own experiences.
While the alumni each took various paths to get to where they are in
their career today, they all shared a common experience of landing that
first job. Several of the alumni completed co-op programs or internships
that helped them decide on their career path, while others jumped right
into the job interviewing experience immediately after graduation.
"In the end, skills are skills," said Nick Barbuto, who majored in
engineering physics and is now an Edison engineer with GE Lighting.
"Whether you work at GE or Rockwell or McDonald's or a department store,
you need to show any potential employer that you have the necessary
skills to do the job."
Mark Ruffing graduated in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in aerospace
engineering. A design engineer at Parker Hannifin Corporation's Gas
Turbine Fuel Systems Division, Ruffing said it is important to keep
track of your projects and continuously update your resume. Eventually,
when you are ready to change companies or are up for a promotion, you
will be able to prove you can lead a team and deliver on what was
expected of you.
Other tips shared by the alumni included:
• Think beyond your first job. You are not committed to one career for
life. Give your new job the time it deserves before you decide it was
not what you wanted.
• Take a lateral move to get to where you want. Take advantage of cross-functional training to leverage your next career move.
• Diversify your portfolio and step out of your comfort zone. Challenge
yourself with projects that you might not otherwise accept to help
improve and hone your skills.
• Make yourself valuable to your employer and coworkers. Gladly take on new or extra assignments when asked.
• Put a lot of stock in a company's culture. It is important to make sure you and the company fit together.
• Don't expect your job to mimic what you did in school.
• Take advantage of leadership or mentoring programs offered by your employer.
• Keep track of your project work and add it to your resume or LinkedIn profile.
• Break projects into smaller tasks. Work on your time management skills.
• Corporate America values efficiency and problem solvers.
• When looking for a job, present yourself well to potential employers. Show passion about your career opportunities.
• Share experiences with your peers. Likewise, learn from others. Talk to people from different departments.

A Note On Zoos
The African painted dog may look similar enough to the tuft-tailed mutt you grew up with, but I promise you, this canine doesn't wear Christmas sweaters. Alternately called the African wild dog, Cape hunting dog, ornate wolf and about half a dozen other combinations of those words, Lycaon pictus is more formidable than its big ears and calico coat let on.
And no matter what the hypothetical He-Men spout from the safety of ergonomic office chairs, the facts show a single African painted dog would give an adult human a run for his money. The Pittsburgh Zoo exhibit featured 11 of them.
In the next section, we'll talk about why jumping into that roiling mess of fur and teeth is zoo-assisted suicide. But first, I want to confront a sad fact about any animal attack – the knee-jerk response to simply kill them all. In fact, these creatures aren't very popular animals in Africa either. They've long been known as "the devil's dogs" and in many places it's common practice to shoot them on sight.
Is it that they remind us of what our Pomeranians and Poodles once were, animals with no regard for our laps, no desire to sit patiently while we place edibles on their obedient heads? Or simply that human encroachment and lack of habitat have forced many a wild dog to bring down livestock – a no-no with the human race since the early days of animal husbandry?
An accident leads to a death and too often we react with only revulsion and fear, and I think that's a mistake. I mean, isn't this sort of why we have zoos in the first place? To show our children the animals of the world and get them excited about nature, distorted though it may appear through glass and iron bar? Might we assume this is precisely what that little boy and his mother were doing just moments before the heartbreaking accident?
Of course, I don't expect the victim's family to look upon painted dogs with awe any time soon – we'll never know what they must be feeling right now and my heart sincerely goes out to them – but I think the rest of us have an opportunity (a responsibility?) to take a closer look at this extraordinary animal, one that is both ruthless in its fight for survival, but also remarkably social, communal and downright peaceful in regards to pack hierarchy and transfer of power.
8 Reasons You Don't Want to Jump in a Painted Dog Pit
Let's start by dispelling the warm feeling you might have about jumping 14 ft into a wild dog enclosure to save another human being. I mean, it's big of you, but unrealistic.
There's a reason the zoo personnel didn't just hop down there. And while they won't return my calls, below are some reasons why doing so would likely have been disastrous, even for a few fully grown men. Just thank the gods most of us will never be put to such a test.
1.) African painted dogs have the highest Bite Force Quotient (BFQ) of all living Carnivora. That means they can out-chomp grizzly bears, Bengal tigers, honey badgers and hyenas. To best the painted ones, you'd have to resurrect a dire wolf. (Which would be awesome. But messy.)
2.) Painted dogs have larger premolars than other canids. Like beanstalk giants, they use these teeth to grind bones, which they then eat, presumably without baking them into bread.
3.) On the business end of those powerful jaws, single-cusped carnassials enable them to shear flesh faster than you can curl a ribbon with scissors.
4.) Did I mention this maw is flying toward you at 37 mph? African painted dogs are cursorial predators. (The Boss knows what I'm talking about.)
5.) And it's not just one mouth you must evade. Typical packs range from 10-20 dogs. In their natural environment, the pack gives chase for up to 3.5 miles, with reinforcements replacing the lead chasers as they tire. Flankers cut off escape to the right or left, so zigging and zagging are futile.
6.) A single dog can bring down prey as big as a male Grant's gazelle – 110 to 180 lbs. A pack can bring down a 600 lb wildebeest or kudu. Sometimes this is done via drive-by disembowelment – ripping open an animal's gut as it runs.
7.) All these things combine for one of the best kill percentages on earth. Some put it as high as 80%. Lions, tigers and bears – and virtually every other predator – pale in comparison.
8.) Once the prey is down, many animals must take a moment to compose themselves. For instance, Cheetahs pant to lower their body temperature. Painted dogs however are adapted to withstand high body temperatures and immediately set to devouring their kill before hyenas or lions can steal it. (Those big ears also help for heat regulation.)
All of which is to say, hope of saving the child likely disappeared the moment he hit the ground. Or as Jack Hanna put it, "They are one of the most aggressive predatory animals in the wild. A zookeeper, a tranquilizer gun could not have helped."
The Peaceful Side of African Painted Dogs
African painted dog packs are excellent parents. Once pups are old enough to accompany the pack to a kill, they are given first dibs on the meal. This is rather atypical among pack predators. More often it's the alpha males and females who take the best bits and let everyone else battle over scraps. Not so with the painted dogs. Even the alpha pair will wait until the pups have had their fill. After that, everyone eats more or less according to rank and there's very little fighting.
Furthermore, when either member of an alpha pair die, the pack splits up into single sex adult groups, with a male from the youngest sexually mature cohort accepting alpha dog status of the male group. This is dissolution is called pack fission and allows for a peaceful transition of power while also diversifying the gene pool. Roger Burrows, of AfricanWildDogWatch.org, has a whole paper on what happens in any given situation, but here are a few notes that highlight the crazy inverted, anti-Ayn Rand hierarchy of these animals:
- Any time alpha male status is transferred, the former alpha remains in the pack peacefully
- Alpha females retain their status for life
- If the group finds orphaned males, they will adopt them. Once the orphans are sexually mature, one of them will assume control of his foster pack as alpha – again, all of this without any violence
- If two breeding pairs have pups in the same season, the subordinate pups have priority over the alpha pups at kills
In other words, African painted dogs live by a code that's basically the opposite of everything you know about capitalism, "the law of the jungle" and your high school cafeteria.
African Painted Dogs Are Not Evil
Because I just spent half an article explaining why African painted dogs are lithe and lean vehicles for unrepentant death, I feel the need to close on a more measured note.
African painted dogs are not evil. They are animals. They do what they're built to do – eat, reproduce, survive. Being particularly good at those things should earn them respect from us, not vitriol.
But even I admit, watching them hunt is an exercise in detachment.
WARNING: The following video is rather graphic. It shows African wild dogs hunting and disemboweling a kudu while it's still alive. If you decide to watch, remember things like the dogs' exceptional bite force quotient, the internal hierarchy that allows them to work together so effectively, and the miles of pursuit that likely took place before this final, exhausted scene.
In other words, trade your fear for awe and step inside the Thunderdome. (And if you're not up for that, here's a video of African painted dogs killing a Christmas tree.)

HRM issues and outcomes in African mergers and acquisitions : a study of the Nigerian banking sector
Gomes, Emanuel, Angwin, Duncan, Peter, Emmanuel and Mellahi, Kamel. (2012) HRM issues and outcomes in African mergers and acquisitions : a study of the Nigerian banking sector. The International Journal of Human Resource Management, Vol.23 (No.14). pp. 2874-2900. ISSN 0958-5192

Despite the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) taking place in Africa, research of this phenomenon, particularly in this continent, is extremely scarce. There is also growing awareness amongst researchers of the importance of human resource management (HRM) practices in general throughout the merger process. This makes an enquiry into its role in this context opportune. By analysing the recent M&A wave in the Nigerian banking sector, this paper explores HRM practices throughout the M&A process. Through interviews of key informants in each merging bank, key HRM practices are identified and conclusions drawn about their contribution to overall M&A outcomes. Implications for theory and practice are discussed and future research directions offered.

'Ninety- nine percent of the people are 100 percent fed up,' Edward J. Markey said last month. |
From individual House members like Representative Edward Markey to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrats in Congress are beginning to adopt the "us-versus-them'' themes emblazoned on protest signs and chanted in protests from Wall Street to Oakland. It's some of the clearest evidence that the angry protests of the left are beginning to resonate within the halls of power. Markey echoed the Occupy Wall Street rhetoric when he railed against big oil: "These companies aren't just the one percent of America, they are the one percent plus.''

Rafa Benitez had plenty to celebrate after Napoli beat Benfica, Gonzalo Higuain scored and Marek Hamsik signed a new contract.
Friday was a good day for the Partenopei, who celebrated in style at the San Paolo with a 2-1 friendly victory in which Pipita Higuain netted his first goal for the club.
"It was important for us, for him and for the fans who saw his quality, even if he's still only 60 per cent fit," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia.
"There were many positive things on this day and Hamsik's contract renewal until 2018 is good for the club, the fans and all of us.
"We did many good things against Benfica, though we still have to improve and will slowly reach the right level. After all, we're still 15 days away from the start of the season.
"It's true we conceded from a set-piece yet again, but we just have to work on it and these things can happen when changing so many players.
"We just have to keep on working. The fans were spectacular and with them by our side we can do very well. I've taken a tour of the city and seen many wonderful sights, but none like the crowd at the Stadio San Paolo."
Benitez was also asked whether there would be any more transfer activity.
"We'll see if we can do something."

This jacket is super sick. works amazing on-hill, but is also a great street wear jacket. would definitely recommend.
Blend Unit Snowboard Jacket
Bought this for my son. Great snowboard jacket, great price!
Best jacket yet
Over the years I've been filtering through different clothing companies trying to find the perfect jacket for me. I can honestly say after trying out this unit jacket my search is done. It fits snug around the waste so you don't look/feel like a balloon going down the mountain. It's very non restricting to movement in all directions as well. I'd highly recommend this jacket to anyone I come across.

Wondering about size. I'm about 6' 185lbs. Can't decide between medium and large? I do not like my jackets super Baggie, but would like room for a sweatshirt if need be. Thanks
I'm 5'11 175LBs. Wondering what size jacket I should get? I don't like it super baggy, but I would like room for a sweater just in case!
Best Answer: Last year I ordered extra small for my son who was 5'5". Now he is 5'9" and it doesn't fit. That probably doesn't help you much. He's 13 now and very skinny and tall so the jackets are very baggy on him but his shoulders are broad so I can't go any smaller than a medium. This jacket is just a shell so you will need layers!
Was just wondering how warm the Special Blend unit snowboard jackets are. On some sites they have scores posted out of 10. Is it an outer shell jacket or a warm one?
Best Answer: I have the homegrown jacket and have used it most of the 2013 season. While it is just a shell, with a longsleeve turtleneck I was kept warm after a couple of runs. Oregon can see some crazy weather on the mountain and I had no problem staying warm during anything.

Zalaski v. City of Bridgeport Police Dep't., No. 08-3671, a civil rights action based on the allegedly unlawful breakup of an animal rights demonstration, summary judgment for defendants is vacated where the district court needed to undertake a comprehensive public forum analysis so the drastic device of summary judgment was not precipitously imposed.
Metro. Taxicab Bd. of Trade v. City of N.Y., No. 09-2901, involved an appeal by the Taxicab & Limousine Commission of New York City and several New York City officials from the grant of a preliminary injunction that enjoined the enforcement of the City's revisions to the maximum lease rates for taxicabs that effectively shifted fuel costs from drivers of fleet taxis to fleet owners to incentivize the use of hybrid-engine and fuel-efficient vehicles. The court of appeals affirmed on the ground that the City's new rules, based expressly on the fuel economy of a leased vehicle, plainly fall within the scope of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act preemption provision.

Dangerous Nation: America's Place in the World From Its Earliest Days to the Dawn of the 20th Century
THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2007 Robert Kagan, author of the national and international bestseller Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order (2003), has earned the reputation as an indispensable voice for those that seek to understand American foreign policy and the dynamics of power in the post-Cold War world. Kagan's last book redefined how we understand European-American relations and became famous for the observation, "Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus." Now in his new book, Dangerous Nation: America's Place in the World From Its Earliest Days to the Dawn of the 20th Century (2006), he redefines how we understand America and America's foreign policy traditions. In Dangerous Nation, he strips away the myth of American isolationism and reveals a more complicated reality: that Americans have been increasing their global power and influence steadily for the past four centuries. Currently based in Brussels, Belgium, Kagan is a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Transatlantic Fellow at the German Marshall Fund. He writes a monthly column in the Washington Post, is a syndicated columnist with The New York Times Syndicate, and is a contributing editor to the Weekly Standard and the New Republic. Kagan served in the U.S. State Department as a deputy for policy in the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs, and was a member of the policy planning staff as principal speechwriter to the U.S. secretary of state. Robert Kagan's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Athenaeum. |

This episode is primarily about introducing the brand new character, Dawn, who is Buffy's little sister. As those of you who have been watching past seasons know, Buffy doesn't have a little sister. She just appeared at the end of the season premiere. Well, this episode won't tell you where she appeared from, but it does tell you a little about her.
First of all, she's an annoying little pest. The episode opens up with her harassing Buffy while she's training. She spends most of her time writing in her diary about how much it sucks to be Buffy's little sister and how no one knows "the real me". Duh. I mean, of course no one knows her. She just showed up. Also, Buffy's mom, Joyce, is super-protective of her, and sends her along with Buffy wherever she goes, except when Buffy is patrolling, which Dawn is not allowed to see.
So, off go Giles and Buffy to the magic shop with Dawn tagging along. On the way they meet up with Willow and Tara. Upon getting to the magic shop, they see that the place has been ransacked and the owner has been killed by a vampire. Buffy sends Dawn outside, where a crazy man tells her "You don't belong here." Hmm. Is this foreshadowing or what?
In a cave, Harmony congratulates her gang of vampires on the successful raid on the magic shop. She tells them that they will kill the Slayer tonight.
Xander and Anya come over to babysit Dawn while Buffy goes out on patrol. Suddenly, a rock comes crashing through the window. It's Harmony, and the note on the rock says "Slayer! Come out and die!" Xander opens the door and tries to explain that Buffy isnt' home. Xander and Harmony argue for a while, which is especially funny since Harmony can't come in. And then Dawn accidentally invites her in.. D'oh. Well, Xander manages to fight Harmony off, but boy is Buffy pissed when she finds out Dawn invited a vampire in.
On their way back to the lair, Harmony's gang runs into Spike, who gives them the idea to kidnap one of Buffy's friends and use them as bait. Meanwhile, Buffy yells at Dawn, who gets upset and runs outside and then gets nabbed by a Harmony minion. The rest is pretty much as expected. Buffy shows up, kills all of Harmony's gang (except Harmony), rescues Dawn.
Giles buys the magic shop. That's cool.

About the James Hopkins Trust
James was born in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in September 1987 with a rare condition called myotubular myopathy, which resulted in his muscles being very weak. His parents Vance and Heather provided him with 24 hour care in the family
home. Sadly on returning to hospital for a routine check-up, James caught a severe infection and died, aged 20 months. Vance and Heather founded the Trust in his memory in 1989 and resolved to provide the type of help they knew from personal experience other
families in similar situations desperately needed.
Since its founding, the Trust has helped several hundred children and their families with respite care with new referrals arrive virtually every week. The Trust provides its services to severely disabled life limited and life threatened children aged 5 and
under, and their families. All services are free to those who meet our criteria. We are a local Gloucestershire charity which helps severely disabled, life limited and life threatened young children and their families with:
• free respite care in the family home , or including Multi Sensory facilities at Kites Corner
• financial assistance for visits to specialist hospitals,
• and equipment specially designed for children with disabilities
Respite care is by far our most important and most requested provision. For a growing number of families it is a lifeline of desperately needed support.

You guys allow it to be quite simple for all your folks available.
flip was shut down because cisco is/was totally inept at consumer electronics. that they bought the business in the first place was a head-scratcher - what were they bringing to the table beyond their grossly inflated (now much debased) chequebook?
cisco is stuck between a rock and a hard place: their core business is stagnant. they're far too big to grow quickly. so like microsoft, they've taken to funding projects that are far outside their core expertise, destroying value for everybody in the process.
capitalism is wonderful that way, innit?
I heard a wild speculative rumour that Flip know a coronal mass ejection will wipe out electronic goods overnight and are cutting bait while they are ahead. Time will tell.
Pogue's theory about buying Flip simply for the technology with the intent of shuttering the brand doesn't make a lot of sense. Cisco could have licensed the technology from Flip at a far lower cost. Or at worst form some strategic partnership. I don't see the full need to buy the firm if simply having access to the tech for their products was the goal.
It raises the question of why not find a buyer for Flip? The interest in the technology makes sense for shuttering the brand in that case. However, it makes little sense for the original acquisition.
If Flip was profitable, why was it closed down? Seems odd...
If Flip was profitable, why close it down? Seems odd...
You forgot the most likely reason: bureaucratic indifference to a small revenue stream inside a big company. It's one of the best arguments against takeovers in the hi tech business.
@Vlad The Impatient re:Ipad you have a non slip cover for it? stupidest simplest solution ever. Hated the thing without it, now we are all fighting over it. The death grip to stop it sliding everywhere is a thing of the past.
To the topic at hand, if I worked for the economist I wouldn't come right out and say that Cisco done a bad thing like buy a company just to junk it and steal the technology. I don't and of course they did.
If you don't think Cisco wouldn't do this to scratch Apple's back in the hopes of a return favor, you don't understand the Valley.
No on both counts. Microsoft and Intel are the ones who have been trying to kill Netbooks (the reason is too long to get into here, but try Googling: "Microsoft Intel netbooks collusion" for a start.) As far as the Flip goes, smartphones killed that about as much as they killed digital cameras -- meaning not at all. The phrase "Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none" is very appropriate to so-called "convergent" devices like iPhones and such: each of their features is inferior, often by a lot, to that available in a more dedicated device, but works just OK enough to satisfy unsophisticated users. And compared to even low-end digital cameras and the better Flip-style video cameras, iPhones and Androids take very mediocre photos and videos (with awful audio), as a quick search on YouTube will quickly confirm.
Now if you're not at all any good at taking photos or video, it probably wouldn't matter much if you use an iPhone or a $1500 Canon, but that doesn't exactly make them equivalent. Go look up how more skilled users use Flips or Kodak Zi8's to take concert footage, or GoPro's to shoot surfing or base jumping -- in comparison, the results from even the most advanced smartphones are not even in the game.
So anyone claiming that iPhones and such can do what Flip type cameras can do either is really awful at taking video or else just has no clue. No exceptions.
Now in the particular case of Flip, go look up which of their models supports 1080p HD resolution and which of their competitors do (you can do it -- Google can be your friend). That's actually a trick question -- none of the Flips support it. The competitors, however, starting adding 1080p way back in 2008 (Zi8's had it since 2009), and actually Flip is the only major pocket video camera maker that doesn't have any model that supports it. Also try Googling how many people and articles have requested that Flips get an jack for plugging in an external microphone so users wanting better audio can do so. A very minor manufacturing detail, but....never happened, which is why competing models like the Zi8 that do have such a jack have done so well with people wanting better audio.
So in a highly competitive, technical market, who besides a unsophisticated user would buy a product that costs more while offering less features than competing models, as is the case with Flip's products since Cisco took over (although you can customize the case design, which seems to have been Cisco's main engineering thrust)? And who but an unsophisticated user, as demonstrated earlier, would even equate the video from an iPhone or Android to that from a Flip?
Lastly, Flip's competitors, from little Aiptek and GoPro to Kodak and Sony, seem to be all surviving the supposed onslaught from smartphones quite nicely.
With all these little, not so well reported details on the table, what then are we to really make of Cisco's decision to shut down Flip (which, by the way, was still quite profitable)?
Oh yes: to boot a Mac in safe mode, hold down the shift key when starting up.
New Conservative: "The problem is that things started going wrong, photos take forever to load on iphoto, browsers freeze going up and down pages. If this was a PC or netbook, I'd be able to Crl alt delete the thing into submission, check the running programs and run it in safe mode. The force quit command on apples is a poor substitute."
Actually, that's not so. The innards of Mac OS X are just different, not hidden. Since it's Unix based, the innards are as close as the Activity Monitor app - it'll happily show you all the programs running on the system, not just yours. And for real under the hood stuff, there's the Terminal app. Both of these are in the utilities folder in the applications folder.
To the specific problem of iPhoto being slow to open, this was definitely a problem in older versions of the program; the database back end was reworked a couple of versions back to fix this.
To sum up: don't expect operating systems that aren't Windows to be 'just like Windows' under the hood. It's different. It needs a different knowledge set to do more than cursory problem-solving. The exact same thing would be true if you were running Ubuntu Linux on that Mac.
As an alternative theory - I have always wondered how much people really want video anyway. Sure it is great to have in principle for the odd special need (your dancing dog, say) - but on our iPhones (& cameras) still pictures still vastly outnumber video.
So what is needed by most people is a still camera that can take the odd video if needed - which almost all cameras (and iPhones) will now do.
As a user of an oldish macbook, I'm never trusting apple tech. It's super clean and fast most of the time, and apple gets that by hiding things 'under the hood,' so to speak. The problem is that things started going wrong, photos take forever to load on iphoto, browsers freeze going up and down pages. If this was a PC or netbook, I'd be able to Crl alt delete the thing into submission, check the running programs and run it in safe mode. The force quit command on apples is a poor substitute.
The position of the apple faithful and apple itself is "our stuff never breaks + bugs, what bugs, those only happen on PCs." They build unsinkable tech and thus they don't include nearly as many lifeboats. You're ipad goes down, you're sunk, get it replaced if you're still under warranty but there is no way you can fix it yourself.
@jomiku: I think you disregard the cost of running the part of the company that makes/sells Flip. If that is greater than the profit from doing it, it surely (albeit sadly) makes sense to get rid of it?
As for the iPad/keyboard combo, I'm sure it works when you have a decent enough surface to place them on. However, I doubt you can type effectively in bed/on couch. Plus, you are lugging more kit than just a netbook.
I do agree that screens/keyboards of netbooks leave something to be desired, though...
@T.S.: I agree on the couch-surfing front, and I also freely admit that our household is far from typical - which probably makes my opinion and experience a minority one. FWIW, I even refuse to use a smartphone without a physical keyboard.
Having said all that, I have also met a couple of totally random people (random as in people happening to sit next to me on a train or in a pub) who rushed to get an iPad in order to read books on it, and have since regretted the decision enough to share the regret with me (and my Kindle). ;)
Keeping in mind this is only anecdotal evidence (as well as the dangers of confirmation bias), this still leads me to think that iPad-mania tends to subside rather quickly for rather large percentage of consumers.
Apple fans have a huge cognitive bias problem. Specifically I think it is availability bias. Because Apple products are so important to them they assume that they have an outsized influence on markets and society. This is not usually the case.
Cisco could have kept the technology while selling Flip. They would have received less but that's more than $0.
I paired a wireless keyboard with my ipad2 for when I want to do longer writing. That also allows me to use the Dvorak layout. I keep my ipad in a sleeve and the keyboard in a tiny, light netbook case. If I want to do more work, I put the sleeve in the case. The entire package then is light enough to carry comfortably under my arm. Why not use a netbook? I did like the old tiny Mac laptop but "netbooks" have hideous screens and generally lousy keyboards and with this setup I get a combination of good parts from the ipad and laptops.
@Vlad: I agree that the iPad cannot compete with a netbook/laptop when it comes to creating content (words, at least). And yes, it's surprisingly heavy. But I love it as a couch-surfing machine, and that's something netbooks are widely used for.
Oh, and as for Flip, I must say that I have read orders of magnitude more raving reviews than I have actually seen devices at large. So I have to wonder if it was really such a successful concept at any point.
Unless of course people used it for candid filming. Which suddenly makes me feel a bit uneasy... ;)

Shoppers now have access to kiosks to help them ship and pick up packages at a variety of retail locations in North Virginia. The U.S. Postal Service has deployed seven kiosks since February in malls, grocery stores and pharmacies throughout the area as part of a pilot study. The first self-automated electronic parcel locker, dubbed the gopost, was unveiled at the Ballston Mall in Arlington, Va. Designed for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle, gopost offers a new way to drop off, pick-up and ship your packages, said Kelly Sigmon, vice president of channel access for the United States Postal Service
"Shipping a package isn't a new concept — how you do it is — and gopost is the answer," she said. "Why wait for a package when it can wait for you? With gopost you can pick-up, ship out and get going."
How it works
Each gopost kiosk contains dozens of individual lockers that can be used to receive or ship packages. After registering for gopost, users receive an account number/access card and PIN that allows them to access the kiosk. The customer won't be assigned a specific locker; rather, a package is placed in an available locker that accommodates its size. If the customer uses gopost as his shipping address, his packages arrives there. Or, he may also use the gopost unit to ship a prepaid package. Once the user registers and begins using the kiosks, he will receive communication through email or text notifications.
For example, when USPS delivers a package to a gopost unit, a user will receive an email or text notification that the package is ready for pick up.
"Initial test phase results are encouraging, and we are finding more and more customers are registering to use gopost," said Darleen Reid, senor public relations representative, USPS Corporate Communications.
Although the pilot study is currently only in the Northern Virginia area, Reid said the post office hopes to soon expand it to other areas of the country, but exact locations remain undetermined.
What's in it for retailers?
Gopost should help drive traffic to its store locations, and retailers aren't paying any type of rent or fee to host them, Reid said. The USPS will work with each of its retailers to determine the best placement to ensure accessibility and convenience to as many customers as possible.
"Gopost is one part of a broader strategy to improve and strengthen the way we serve our customers," she said.
