Back in January, we looked at harnessing the marketing power of Instagram – many of you found this an interesting topic, so we've decided to look in more detail at how you can use the platform to bring in more clients to your clinic.
Who's using Instagram and why it matters to your clinic
According to the latest stats (January 2018), women are slightly more likely to use Instagram than men, and the largest group of users currently fall in the 18-29 age bracket.
Apparently, 31% of Instagram users make more than $75,000 a year (that translates to approximately £53,000) and over 80% of users follow at least one business on the platform. In fact, 200 million Instagrammers interact with businesses on a daily basis.
Stats also show that 60% of Instagram users find new products and services on the platform and an impressive 70% take action after looking at a brand's post.
This offers huge potential to the 25 million businesses that are already using Instagram for social media marketing (a figure that has shot up by 10 million since July 2017!).
Put simply, Instagram is an effective way to reach young, affluent individuals who aspire to the lifestyles of the rich and famous (Selena Gomez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Beyonce each have more than 100 million followers).
Marketing your clinic on Instagram
Beauty and fitness brands dominate Instagram with 43% of businesses within this industry already visible on the platform.
Within that category, 65% of the top cosmetics brands, 63% of the top beauty brands, 43% of the top skin care brands and 16% of the top weight loss brands have a presence.
Your clinic's core message is that you help people to look and feel great, which fits perfectly with the visual and aspirational focus of Instagram. And as we can see, you'll be in good company.
Our top seven Instagram marketing tips:
We've put together some of our top tips for marketing your clinic on Instagram:
1. Set up your Instagram business profile
Your first step is to set up an Instagram business profile. Using a business rather than personal profile gives you access to key insights into how your posts are performing so that you can refine your Instagram strategies moving forwards.
You can also promote posts and create advertising via a business profile.
2. Add a logical URL to your profile
Instagram is different to Facebook and Twitter in that you can't feature active links in individual posts. Instagram is more about building brand awareness and encouraging brand searches (i.e. where people include your clinic name in their Google search) than driving direct traffic to your website.
You can, however, include a URL in your profile bio. Our advice is to choose a URL where it would make sense for people to arrive on your site from Instagram.
Some leading brands choose to feature the link to their main blog page or to their main services page. Others change the URL on a regular basis so that it always takes visitors to the most recent blog article.
It's worth experimenting with different URLs to see which ones attract the most attention. Linking to your latest blog is a great strategy – then you can tell your followers that the link is in your bio.
3. Write a bio
Speaking of your page's bio, it's important to complete this as it will always appear at the top of your Instagram profile.
Ideally, your bios should be consistent across all social media channels, giving the same core message.
With Instagram, you only have 150 characters to play with so you have to be strategic about what you say.
Our advice is to try to feature the keywords that describe your clinic, as well as the main hashtags that sum up your business (more about this below), and a URL linking to your website.
Although based in two very different industries, here are some great examples of Instagram-savvy bios from Search Engine Land and ASOS below:
4. Plan your content
It isn't enough to decide to market your clinic on Instagram – you need to have a strategy.
The most important step is to understand who you want to reach. It might be appropriate to target a segment of your audience, such as 20- to 30-year-olds, with a message about preventing skin ageing rather than more invasive/restorative treatments aimed at an older age group. Or you could target people who are getting married with aspirational posts about beautiful wedding day smiles.
The next step is to plan out the content you're going to post.
Popular post types on Instagram include:
- Practical/actionable ideas – you could post pictures of skincare products that people can use for specific problems, or ask people to post their own pictures of how their skin looks post-treatment
- Inspirational quotes/messages
- Photos of people your clients admire
- Behind the scenes/a day in the life of your clinic photos
- Posts that promote good causes
- Shoppable posts where people post 'sold' in the comments to agree to being contacted about buying a specific product
- Stock images/crowd sourced images from other sources
- Ask the audience – a question posed on top of an image
- Offers and promotions (just not all the time!)
- Giveaways
- Throwback posts
- Humorous posts
- Event/inside the clinic posts
- Topical posts that tie into news stories or special dates on the calendar
- Instagram Stories – these are a single post or series of posts that are visible for just 24 hours but tell your followers about a specific event, day or topic – you can post as many pictures as you want without fear of bombarding people's feeds because all of the 'Story' images will appear together
5. Use hashtags
We briefly mentioned hashtags in our last blog but it's a point worth repeating.
Marketing research shows that Instagram posts featuring at least one hashtag in the description attract 12.6% more engagement than posts without any hashtags.
Hashtags help to signpost to Instagram what the picture you've posted is about so that, when users search for that particular hashtag, Instagram is able to return all of the images that include it in the search results.
Hashtags like #coolsculpting #fit #fitnotfat #beautiful #skincareroutine #confidence #inchloss and others can all help your content to be found.
If you're not sure what hashtags to use, a good starting point is to check out your competitors' Instagram profiles, then enter the hashtags they're using in the search bar to see what kind of content comes up.
We also found a brilliant list of common social media hashtags over on Stylecaster.com – you might be able to use ones like #FOTD (Find of the day), #HTH (Here to help) or #TBT (throw-back Thursday) to get people talking.
6. Pick your filter
Apparently, 60% of the top brands on Instagram use the same filter on every post so that their followers begin to recognise the brand 'look' in their feeds.
So far in 2018, the most popular filters worldwide are Clarendon, Juno and Gingham. It's worth experimenting with your look – Valencia, Normal and Brooklyn are all popular for nature shots, while Kelvin, Valencia and Nashville reign supreme for fashion/lifestyle brands.
7. Experiment with when you post
The top brands on Instagram publish an average of 4.9 posts per week but you will need to figure out what works best for you and your audience.
Overall, the best time for engagement on Instagram is 5pm on Wednesdays but every audience is different.
Our advice is to try posting at different days and times and keeping an eye on the metrics Instagram provides about how people are interacting with your content. You can always tweak when you post to fit your audience.
Instagram is about building brand awareness
If you can build brand awareness of your clinic using Instagram, you should see an increase in web traffic and enquiries over time.
Evidence shows that 70% of consumers look for known retailers in searches so, if someone has seen your clinic on Instagram, they are more likely to click on your listing in a search result page.
One story that illustrates the power of Instagram is that of fashion retailers, Fashion Nova. At the beginning of 2017, they were able to rank number one for the keyword 'fashion' and achieve high page one rankings for phrases like 'jeans' and 'denim dress'.
What SEO experts found is that Fashion Nova have 9.5 million Instagram followers.
These people had been seeing their content on the platform, then heading to Google to search for 'Fashion Nova jeans' and other items.
In the end, Google decided that so many fashion searches contained the name Fashion Nova that the company should rank highly for generic fashion search terms too. This enabled them to rank alongside and compete with household names like Levi's and H&M.
While we can't promise you 9.5 million followers, Instagram represents an exciting opportunity for you to tell potential clients about your treatments and products. You can show people what your clinic is like or how good they will feel post-treatment. You can create a conversation with your audience in a visual, engaging way on a platform that is growing at a staggering rate.
What are you waiting for?

Middletown police: Man smashed up home after larceny accusation
MIDDLETOWN >> A city man was to appear in court Thursday after he allegedly punched a door and destroyed items during an altercation at a Middletown home.
Kubilay B. Demirhan, 18, allegedly trashed the residence in the 200 block of Plaza Drive after someone who lives with him accused him of stealing checks from them. He was accused of having cashed the stolen checks without their approval, police said.
The same officer responded to the complaint about the alleged check theft and the subsequent altercation. The office said he interviewed both Demirhan and the victim during that investigation. When the officer left, the house was neat, clean and orderly.
When the officer returned later that day, the victim told him Demirhan had punched a hallway door and was knocking items off the counter. The victim said Demirhan had been yelling and arguing before police were called for the second time.
Two officers found Demirhan in the hallway. The hallway door was broken and items were on the ground in the kitchen, officers said. Police said Demirhan was red in the face and appeared angry. He was handcuffed without incident.
Demirhan declined to speak with police after the incident. He was charged with disorderly conduct and third-degree criminal mischief. He was held in lieu of $25,000 bail pending his court appearance.
It was not immediately clear whether Demirhan has been formally charged in the alleged check theft.

fAs you grow older, birthdays become less and less exciting. It's still cool to feel like you have a day dedicated to yourself, but when adult life and responsibilities get in the way, celebration may be the last thing on your mind. Each year you may realize that...maybe you're not actually excited for your "special day" like you would've been in elementary school. As I grow older I find that a few things about birthdays change dramatically as we age. Here are some things you might've forgotten about entirely.
1. A Cake
I can't tell you the last time I had an actual birthday cake. Now, this may sound sad (it sounded sad to me as I typed it), but it's not like I couldn't get one. I just never really thought to. Personally, I'm not a cake fan myself, but even still. I've never felt sad about not having icing to lick off a numbered candle on my birthday. Unless you're having a big party, a cake just seems extraneous, doesn't it?
2. The Party Itself
I think my last birthday party was when I was thirteen, no joke. Past then I would usually hang out with some friends, grab some pizza, and watch a movie or something. Nothing special. But as I've grown even more and transitioned into adulthood, it'd be a miracle if I even leave my house on my birthday. I've got schoolwork to do, cleaning to get done, not to mention all the time my usual procrastinating will take. Who has time to think about hanging out with friends? I've got a shift at work and a paper to write. I can age next year.
4. Presents
Happy birthday to me. From: me. The best part about birthdays as you get older is people find it more and more acceptable to just give you money for your special day, which means you get the best gift of all: online shopping spree. Anyone can tell you my addiction to online shopping, but it is unparalleled come my birthday. I've got $250 dollars to spend? That's $200 worth of stuff plus shipping. That plus the blessing that I don't have to fake liking gifts anymore makes it the best time of the year. I get whatever I want, and the only person that might be questioning it is my banker when I suddenly drop $300 in one weekend.
5. Friends
When I was three, I remember inviting the entirety of my daycare class to my birthday party at McDonald's. When I was thirteen, about five of my friends came over and we giggled over Twilight (yes, I was one of those kids). Now, I might invite one person over to eat pizza and complain about life. As you grow older, people get busier, and can't just have their moms drop them off at your house for a party. Schedules constantly conflict in adulthood, but in my opinion, it's a blessing in disguise. Parties can be a hassle to plan, and with only one or two other people, it's much cheaper and easier to celebrate aging. One large pizza: $7.99. Eight large pizzas: my wallet crying.
6. Excitement
As a kid, I thought my birthday was the absolute best day of the year. I couldn't wait to get presents, be showered with affection, and see all my friends at my party. Not to mention getting a year older. But as I grow older the years go by quicker and quicker; everyone tells me I'll blink and I'll be 40. Growing another year just isn't exciting anymore. It's just another year closer to more responsibilities: a year closer to having to begin my career, a year closer to being off my parents' insurance, a year closer to my car breaking down and me having to buy a new one. Aging has just become more and more stressful; is it time to retire yet?
7. The Myth of the Day Off
Birthdays used to be so special that celebration would consume the entirety of my day's activities. It was wake up, have an awesome breakfast, get calls from my family, get ready for my party, have my party, then enjoy a super-long sleepover with a select group of my friends. Now it's like, 'Yes, happy birthday to me, but I have a paper due in two hours that I've barely written a paragraph for. Then I have to go to work.' Life doesn't stop for your special day anymore. That means you can't stop either.
Don't worry, birthdays don't suddenly get sucky as we grow older. We just have to celebrate them in a different way. It's more fun to celebrate as an adult, but those celebrations come with more responsibilities and consequences. So we just have to party safely, and enjoy this weird stage of adultish-youth while we can. As I'm told later on into real adulthood birthdays do just sort of get sucky. Guess we will all find out. Happy birthday!

Cobbled streets have the burnished look of stone skulls
sinking like a necropolis of Ugolinos from centuries
of bewildered tourists stumped in the Eternal City, mulling
over which way to turn. Every ruin begets a selfie
like a Hollywood set directed to life then ditched
with each phone's shutter click. Past the bronzed
facade of the Colosseum, ominous as a chipped gold tooth,
other crowds follow like apostles the voice of a guide, yawning
and carrying her flag aloft like a cross. Even here I look for
a history of myself. In the Musei Vaticani, I zoom close
to Art's record: frescoes, sculptures, altarpieces, and war
with pilgrims for the best shot, studying the prose
of a guidebook to explain Exekias's amphora,
the slave boy delivering clothes to a nude Pollux,
or why every Christ child craves the adoration of a
black Magus: shades frozen in a single hole.
The crumbling stone beneath our feet speaks to us;
even Rome's dust possesses something of human
grandeur, the elegance of decay. I envy the triumph
that certain paintings give back my face, but Romanus
Pontifex almost sealed my fate. Still, I've more hills to climb.
From every gift shop Papa waves at his blessed lambs.
One evening someone will dream of Tuscany and see us
walking along a narrow country road past Relais
San Bruno, plum littered, beside the north-facing slopes
of vines like formations of green soldiers on their way
to nowhere, a stray dog trotting ahead like Hecuba
who halts and impatiently looks back, checking
our progress to San Biagio. If dreams are rumors,
we are sliding into the light of prayer, practicing
soliloquies of silence in our first year of marriage,
our astonishment punctuated by those cypresses
whose exclamations put a point to blessings. Offstage,
if that sleeper should change pose, and half undress
herself of sheets, let her shift not break cataclysmic
and lose sight of the stone-bright travertine walls,
nor the hills rolling soft as her body, these ancient brick
farmhouses, nor morning's rustic tinkling call
of sheep bells, the honeyed fortress of this city whose blush
of red poppies in fields below collapses some tourist,
our dreamer, into the arms of her husband, crushed
by the view from Montepulciano, nor the way she holds his
hand against her chest lost in a pasture of tiny dwellings
whose faith repeats in campaniles that reach her deepest wells.
That window at the Grand Hotel Palazzo in Livorno
framed the Tyrrhenian Sea like a white-bordered postcard
he placed gently on an imaginary wire rack below
other views accruing whose postmarks
he'd yet to stamp, so they swiveled in his mind
involuntarily and slowed with a squeak: perched angels
standing guard on the bridge of Sant'Angelo, the crenellated line
of cliffs above some coast, a shop owner waving farewell,
sweeping and aproned, roundabouts whose circles he never
completed, the half-erect heads of sunflowers like a cavalry
in training, all clichés of travel, even the waterfront terrazza
with its checkerboard squares. But not her pillowed beauty
still sunk in sleep, a soft coating of night sweat on her face,
her neck lengthening into a Modigliani. The arrowing flashes
of fallen stars he prayed upon were superfluous; their places
changed, but she, she would remain like the horizon whose light
increased, flooding their rented room. Dawn arrived, the shrieking
seagulls circled into view, next, a ferry, launched to fulfill its routes.
Flip this over, a scene scrawled in lines clear as Greek, stealthily
composed then slipped under his door like a hotel receipt.

Wonderful Morning on Little Tybee
After all the excitement of finally getting my book out into the world, it was a real gift to join Captain Rene Heidt for a morning on the water. We went in search of a possible Western Grebe, but did not find one. Instead, we saw many loons and large groups of shorebirds resting on the beaches of Little Tybee at high tide. There were Black-bellied Plovers, Red Knots, Dunlin, Short-billed Dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstones, Willets, Sanderlings, and Greater Yellowlegs. Ospreys were fishing and Buffleheads were swimming in large groups. The water in the creeks was like glass and the sun was warm. Oh December on the Georgia coast.

JOHANNESBURG– New Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has admitted that he has selected a relatively inexperienced side for his first ever test match since charge as Boks coach in March.
Erasmus has included three new caps in a 24-man squad for the first test against England at Ellis Park here Saturday. The three new caps in the squad have also found themselves in the starting 15.
They are wings Sbu Nkosi and Aphiwe Dyantyi and lock R.G. Snyman. Erasmus says he's got good back-up on the bench.
Erasmus says his two overseas-based players Du Plessis and Steyn are still part of his World Cup plans, and their absence for the three test matches against England is a big blow.
Boks flyhalf, Handre Pollard says they are still getting used to each other as players, and things will definitely improve if they get more game time together.
Great to be back. Very exciting times, bunch of new faces in the backline. Some old ones are also back. The guys like Sbu in unbelievable form, unbelievable talent!
Despite untested combinations all round, Pollard says if they can pull in the same direction as a team, the Springboks will get positive results going forward.
Erasmus says although he wants instant results, his main focus is to build a formidable squad for next year's World Cup. It is still not clear if Du Plessis and Steyn will be available for the Rugby Championship which follows in August.

Birthdate: Tuesday, May 7th, 1901
Location: Helena, Montana, USA
Died: Saturday, May 13th, 1961
Location: Los Angeles, California, USA
Cause of death: Cancer
Best known for: Major movie star whose career spanned from the end of the silent era to the end of its "golden" years. He came to prominence with 1929's The Virginian, and followed that with hits such as A Farewell to Arms (1932), Sergeant York (1941), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) and High Noon (1952). He won two Oscars - for Sergeant York and High Noon - and was nominated for a further three - for Mr Deeds Goes to Town (1936), The Pride of the Yankees (1942) and For Whom the Bell Tolls (he lost to Paul Muni, James Cagney and Paul Lukas respectively). He also won a Golden Globe for High Noon.

However, while Gary's on-screen success was not faltering, his health behind the scenes was suffering. In the early 1950s, he was receiving ongoing treatment for ulcers, and during the filming of 1953's Blowing Wild he sustained a severe shoulder injury when he was hit by fragments from an exploded oil well. During the filming of 1954's Vera Cruz, Gary injured his hip falling from a horse, and was also burned when co-star Burt Lancaster fired his rifle too close and pierced his clothing.

set of The Wreck of
the Mary Deare with

After this glut of productivity, the year 1960 reined Gary in - on Thursday, April 14th he underwent surgery in Boston for prostate cancer after it metastasized to his colon. Soon after this operation, on Tuesday, May 31st, he fell ill again and endured further surgery in Los Angeles in early June to remove a malignant tumour from his large intestine.
Gary took the summer of 1960 to recuperate, and then took his family on holiday to the south of France, before travelling to the UK in the autumn to make what would become his final film - the Hitchcockian The Naked Edge, which was finally released in May 1961, the month Gary died.
|Gary in his final film, The Naked
Edge, filmed in the UK toward the
end of 1960. He was 59 here
On Monday, April 17th, Gary watched the Oscars ceremony on television and saw his friend James Stewart accept an honorary award on his behalf as Gary was too ill to attend. A teary Stewart said: "Coop, I want you to know I'll get it to you right away."
The following day it was headline news around the world that Gary Cooper was dying. He received various messages of support from around the world, including Pope John XXIII, Queen Elizabeth II, Ernest Hemingway and President John F Kennedy. On Thursday, May 4th, Gary made his final public statement: "I know that what is happening is God's will. I am not afraid of the future."
|In March 1961 Gary's appearance
on NBC's The Real West was
broadcast. He'd filmed it the
previous December.
A requiem mass was held six days later at the Church of the Good Shepherd, which was attended by a plethora of Hollywood names - James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, John Ford, John Wayne, Edward G Robinson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Marlene Dietrich among them. Gary was buried in the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California.
In May 1974, when his family relocated to New York, his remains were exhumed and reburied in Sacred Hearts Cemetery in Southampton, New York.

text: grapevine 1 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 While doing a search of the ten tribes I came across a site by Nate Richardson. I am sure he is a temple recommend holding member, there is room for good people to disagree on things. Of course we should blog insights from what we learn in church. He does have some interesting ideas though. his interpretations should edify him. However he has no right to receive revelation for other members of the church. 42:11 Nd the 28th section of the Doctrine and Covenants say the same thing, main thing of his site is signs of the times. He quotes conference talks and puts what they say on a calander. Says eclipses and meteor showers are signs of the times, with certain events. Compares Book of Mormon timeline to timeline when millennium will begin. Seems to know when prophets will be in Jerusalem and books by John Pontious and Duane Crowther are authoritive. says Corona is a sign of the times ending oh half hour of silence, and riots second civil war. Says Temples shutting down another sign of the times and Portland riots another civil war. An increase of earthquakes since 2000 as well. Quotes what Elder Bednar in Christmas Devotional to a prophecy when he quoted Samuel thenLamanite. If astronomy and geology that he quotes wee signs of the times why didn't the prophets tell us? Says to expect a major earthquake when the Salt Lake Temple is rededicated. I don't think anything out of the ordinary will happen once the building is dedicated again. Eclipses and meteor showers have come and gone and Life moves on. riots and the COVID panic will pass. He seems to think elections of 28, or 32 will be the last ones we know. Nothing out of the ordinary will happen in any us presidential election in the near future. And Missiouri will be cleaned out. Outs timeline on the prophecies. Some of those propehecies are if people don't repent. Wonder what makes his interpretation more likely than what we heard through properly appointed channels. an ardent homeschool person, said he gave up animal products, interesting Government ideas, and interesting ideas on mental illness, moving when growing up, and mental illness. Criticizes mind leering drugs. He can have those opinions but he seems out there on several ideas and thankfully his opinions are not church doctrine and his last days timeline and scientific things to quote the signs of the times are out there. The dates of his prophecies to come to pass I think for the most part will come and go without anything out of the ordinary happening. Be confusing if every person had ideas on timing of millennium and other things we don't hear from people the Lord called and we know are called. 1 Link to post

John Collins told the media at Glasgow airport this morning that he was glad to see Liverpool drop out of the Champions League and that it strengthens the Europa League with teams like Liverpool in it.
"We watched it last night and seen Liverpool drop down to the Europa League so that's great," he said.
"I think it enhances the tournament when the big boys drop in and makes it exciting.
"There's quite a few English teams there already and it would be nice to meet them further down the line.
"Obviously, we'd like an easy draw if there's such a thing at this stage.
"But at the same time it is great for the club if players can test themselves against the big English sides as well."

What happens when you mix a relaxed day-time cafe with a buzzing nightclub? The Power and the Glory, that's what.
Small and humbly decorated with vintage finds, hanging plants and understated furniture, the cafe serves up a mean cuppa paired with a delicious breakfast or pastry during the day, following which you can abandon the formalities and move to Black Ram next door. P&G has become renowned in Cape Town for their hot dogs (served on a salted pretzel zig-zagged with tomato sauce and mustard), that can be washed back with a local craft beer. The bar is split from the cafe, so order your goods separately. For the hungry, we recommend the roast beef sandwich, served between two fresh slices of sourdough and lathered with Dijon mustard. And a hot dog of course. Mmm…
P&G opened several years ago and its popularity has never waned. Attracting the more alternative crowd, it's a ramshackle mix of people day and night, from budding first dates to rowdy friends clad in hats and hipster spectacles. We just love it.
Wine is reasonably priced (R30 to R50 a glass), as is craft beer at the usual R30 to R35. You'll pay a bit more for spirits, but the selection is fresh and varied. It's an easy place to catch a round or two after work, or the place to start a good night's proceedings.
If you happen to see the two of us at P&G devouring a hotdog and imbibing our usual beer and glass of wine, do come say hi. Next round will be on us.

Couple Says District Tried to Muzzle Them After Dispute
CHARLESTON, S.C. (CN) – A husband and wife claim in court that after years of involvement with the booster club and other organizations at their local high school they suddenly found themselves ostracized and were further punished for Facebook posts about the situation.
In a federal complaint filed in Charleston on July 14, Foy and Joe Ford say they have been adult volunteers with organizations supporting students at Waccamaw High School since 2006, most notably, the cheer booster club.
But they say their relationship with the school soured in the spring of 2013 when the principal, David Hamel, denied the cheerleading squad access to their equipment refused to approve a fundraiser for the girls in May 2013.
The Fords claim they sought the aid of defendant schools Superintendent Randall Dozier, and, after waiting three months for him to take action, filed a complaint with the defendant Georgetown County School Board about Dozier's alleged failure to address their concerns.
Instead of remedying the situation, the couple says, the principal punished them by imposing even more requirements on the cheer booster club for conducting fundraisers than were required for other clubs. The lawsuit states that at the same time, the principal denied the cheerleaders equal and fair access to the gym.
The Fords say the roiling dispute reached a new pitch a few months later, when the district is alleged to have threatened them with legal action for comments Joe Ford posted on a newspaper's Facebook page that criticized the district's lack of professionalism.
The Fords say the threat came in the form of a letter in which the district unlawfully forbid them from making any more public comments about the district officials or the school system.
That prompted them to file a Title IX complaint with the Office of Civil Rights.
"The OCR conducted an investigation and requested certain information from the school Superintendent," the complaint says. "Plaintiffs received on July 15, 2014 a copy of a letter from the OCR which indicated that the Nov. 8,2013 letter was issued with the specific intent to prevent the Plaintiffs from posting comments critical to school officials when they threatened the Plaintiffs with legal action for posting comments on the internet."
The investigation also allegedly revealed the Fords concerns about how the booster club was being treated were never discussed openly at school board meetings.
However in emails obtained from the Freedom of Information Act request, they claim, it is clear that three board members approved of the letter threatening legal action.
The Fords say the letter had the effect of suppressing their First Amendment rights for a year. Then, in October 2014, the district resent the letter — this time with the threat of legal action redacted.
However, the matter was far from settled, the Fords claim.
Shortly after they received the letter , Hamel removed the cheerleaders as the operators of the gym's concession stand. According to the complaint, Hamel then had the cheer coach inform the Fords that they were banned from the campus and would be subject to trespassing charges if they returned.
"The plaintiffs, leaders in the community and dependable, reliable volunteers at the school were humiliated and embarrassed by this unlawful conduct," the complaint says.
The Fords seek injunctive relief and unspecified compensatory damages.
They are represented by Geraldine Sumter of Ferguson Chambers & Sumter PA in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Lindsey Thompson, compliance director for the school district, said she was unaware of the lawsuit and that the district has not yet been served.

EFM: FILM.UA Adds to 'Stolen Princess' Sales Tally
FILM.UA Group announced from the European Film Market that it has closed a new deal for Ukrainian animated feature The Stolen Princess to Bohemia Motion Pictures for theatrical distribution in Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The domestic premiere is set for March 7 in Ukraine, with dates also set for Israel (March 15), Bulgaria and Romania (March 16), Turkey (March 23) and Poland (June 22).

The Stolen Princess is set in the age of valiant knights, beautiful princesses and battling sorcerers. When Ruslan, a wandering artist dreaming to become a knight, met beautiful Mila and fell in love with her; he didn't even suspect that she is the King's daughter. However, the lovers' happiness wasn't meant to last very long. Chоrnomor, the evil sorcerer, appeared in a magic vortex and stole Mila right before Ruslan's eyes to transform her power of love into his own magic power. Without further ado, Ruslan sets out on a chase after the stolen princess to overcome all obstacles and to prove that real love is stronger than magic.

The ocean is Galicia and Galicia is the ocean. For this reason a truly Galician night is one with the murmur of the waves breaking on the cliffs and waking with the dazzling reflection of the ocean light and the soft sound of the calm, morning waters.

The Eurostars Ciudad de La Coruña is a true oasis in the city. Here, in this secret Corunna courtyard, we have exchanged the streets for a first class collection of sculptures; here, the noise of the city gives way to the sound of the waves: here, the sound of traffic is drowned and the wind peacefully takes its place; here, the hills rise to contemplate how the city falls in love with the ocean and, here, we take off from daily life to submerge ourselves in history contemplating, next to the Eurostars Ciudad de La Coruña, the most ancient lighthouse in the world, erected in Nero's times: the Tower of Hercules.
The hotel has many attractive features and characteristics of unquestionable quality. Built using latest generation materials, laminated wood and Travertine marble floors, the Eurostars Ciudad de La Coruña offers fantastic vistas over the bay and the entrance to the port of Corunna and, at the back, the rocky cliffs surrounding the spot on which the Tower of Hercules rises.

In other words–if you're not familiar with how AR works–they want to know if it's permissible to associate certain digital content with a particular physical object (the "target"), such that when a user views the target through an AR app on a video-enabled mobile device, the digital content will appear on the screen to be physically superimposed on the target.
Readers of this blog know that I've tackled these issues many times before, and that in my view, most decisions of what to augment and how will be considered free speech protected by the First Amendment. As in every other context, though, there are boundaries to First Amendment rights where other laws can take precedence.
Here's a quick list of five types of targets that you should at least think twice about before augmenting them with digital content:
- Copyrighted images. In most cases, it's unlikely that merely associating digital content with a copyrighted target will infringe the copyright owner's rights, because that mere act does not reproduce or create a derivative of the physical target. In order for the AR app to recognize the target, however, you may need to upload a copy of the target into your AR creation tool–and that reproduction could be found infringing. Moreover, depending on what you do with that target image once you've uploaded it, you might end up making a derivative work of the digital copy. It also remains undetermined whether digital augmentation could be considered a " a distortion, mutilation, or other modification of the work" under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 or other species of "moral rights."
- Trademarks. Trademarks, service marks and the like exist for one purpose: to indicate to consumers the source of a product or service. When I see the Golden Arches at the next exit, for example, I know I can pull off there to get a Big Mac. And if someone hands me a sandwich called a "Whopper," I'll know that I ended up at Burger King instead. Content infringes trademark rights if it creates a "likelihood of confusion" in the minds of relevant consumers as to where the product comes from, or whether there is some form of association or sponsorship between the trademark owner and the author of the content. By associating your digital content with someone else's trademark–and depending on the circumstances and how you advertise your augmentation–you run the risk of creating confusion and therefore of infringing the trademark. Moreover, if your content tarnishes the trademark or somehow lessens its ability o function as an indicator of source, you could be on the hook for trademark dilution as well.
- Employer's Materials. Just like mixing your content with someone else's trademark could create confusion as to whether the content comes from, or is approved by, the trademark owner, so too could an employee's content create confusion if it is associated with their employer's materials. We already see quite a bit of litigation over what employees post in social media, but the potential for legal headaches is even bigger in the augmented space. While an employee may (sometimes) think twice before posting offensive or objectionable statements on an employer's Facebook page, for example, they may not think twice about adding their own digital commentary to any random physical object associated with the employer, because they may think that the content is so secret that the employer would never find it.
- Faces. So much of the current privacy debate around augmented reality and wearable devices centers on facial recognition. Many of the most obvious and helpful uses of digital eyewear require the device to recognize the people it sees. In light of how vitriolic the public reaction has been to this concept, however, none of the major companies in the space want to be the first to roll out the technology. Facebook and Google are sitting on troves of facial information and doing very little with it. The terms of use for Google Glass and many AR software developer kits–and perhaps even the AR creation tool you're using–specifically ban any facial recognition functionality. The risk is not only an invasion of privacy, but also the untested potential for the right of publicity to apply to this technology.
- Anything Else Related to Specific Individuals. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have already been criminally prosecuted or otherwise punished for threatening others online, often in social media. Even something as benign as a Facebook "poke" has been found to be enough of an unwanted contact to be a violation of a personal protection order. Associating AR content with a particular person, their home, or anything else intimately associated with them could likewise be viewed as a threat, stalking, harassment, defamation, infringement of publicity rights, or other offense, depending on the circumstances.

Discovery races to a new signal over the Kelpian homeworld of Kaminar. What Michael and Saru find there raises questions about the Red Angel's intentions. Meanwhile, Hugh struggles to come to grips with his new reality…
The Trekzone Review
We circle back to that Short Treks episode which gave us some much needed back story on our first officer. That mini-sode was perfect because it freed up the bulk of the episode to concentrate on the conflict of the week and the challenges our faces when restricted by General Order 1, which I guess sort of doesn't apply here – as mentioned – because half of the planet is warp capable.
While Mary Wiseman has been stealing the show in earlier episodes with her conflict with May, Doug Jones takes the mantle this week as Saru faces his crisis of conscience following his Vahari. The Ba'ul are seen for thefirst time – after their Short Treks introduction – and confirmed as the bullies on Kaminar… and the red angel sees to it that they're going to have to pick on someone their own size from now on.
Awesome. I love that we are really filling in the blanks when it comes to who are extended 'family' are on board Discovery.

Webster Dolilta Finance Limited's Investments and Loans Manager, Phil Pellissier will retire on his 65th birthday, the 29 January 2016 after nearly 17 years with the company.
Phil started with W&D Finance (then Dolilta Investments Limited) in October 1998 after many years as a bank manager with the ANZ Banking Group. His experience in banking and finance spans more than 45 years.
He was employed after Dolilta Investments Ltd purchased a number of Co-operative Housing Societies. During this time he managed the companies government funded Home Opportunity Loans and Shared Home Ownership loan schemes.
Phil brought invaluable experience in home & commercial lending and customer relations when he joined the Company. His ability to give sound financial advice, along with his methodical and diligent approach proved to be a great asset to W&D Finance when it moved more into commercial lending.

French Officer's naval fighting sword, 1795-1800
I just got hit with a massive bill and must secure funds to pay it! I've decided to put this beauty up for sale-
This is a French pre-Napoleonic naval and marine officer's fighting sword. The hilt is fine brass with a knuckle bow that swivels to protect the hand while in battle. The brass has a beautiful patina to it, the guard is of the four-slot pattern with scalloped decoration and a shell-like pattern to the forward guard's base. Grip is copper wire and pommel cap has a diamond pattern decoration. The plain fighting blade is in the style of a cutlass and fully intact, no chips or cracks. I'm taking a loss on this one, but I need funds fast, so ask questions and/or make me an offer if reasonable!
$850 plus shipping. I must sell quickly, so this 'Master & Commander' era sword is only here for a limited time before I'll have to resort to eBay-

Well Darn!
We're down here in Houston and found another crack in the frame that's in a sketchy location. The car is not safe to run without a corrective repair. The torque of this motor whips the chassis around like a piece of spaghetti … part of it I guess. I'll be down here the rest of the day and into tomorrow morning, visiting and helping of few of our fellow racers. Sorry we didn't get to run this one folks! I'm pulling out of town on Monday headed to Tomah, WI for the NTPA Super Nationals. And then it's straight over to Norwalk, OH for the NHRA Nationals. We'll be in Walcott, IA July 9-11, so I will see ya somewhere down the road.

I am an addict. I tell people I could stop anytime, but deep inside, I know I am lying. I need to listen to music, to write music, to play music every day. I can't go a whole day without, at the very least, humming or whistling the tunes that crowd my head. I sing myself hoarse each morning in the shower, and playing the trumpet leaves a red mouthpiece-shaped badge of courage on my lips all day. I suspect that if someone were to look at my blood under a microscope, they would see, between the platelets and t-cells, little black musical notes coursing through my body.
On many occasions I've woken my family (and perhaps the neighborhood) composing on the piano early in the morning. Other times, my mother will admonish, "It's too late to play the trumpet." But I can't understand why people wouldn't want to hear music any time of the day. Keeping the music bottled up is more than I can bear. "I never worry about you sneaking up on me," my friend once admitted to me. "I've never seen you walking without humming or whistling to yourself."
For me, playing the trumpet is the opiate of music in its purest form. I love to play in all types of ensembles. I'm not just addicted to one kind of music; I couldn't imagine limiting myself like that. Choosing just one kind of music would be worse than choosing one food to eat for the rest of my life. Playing orchestral music, for example, I become a sharpshooter. Waiting, I hide behind rows of string players, ready to jump out with a staccato attack that pierces the hearts of the audience. Playing in an orchestra, I can be Atlas, holding the other musicians above my head, or Icarus, flying through a solo in a desperate attempt to reach the heavens.
Completely different, small jazz ensembles are like a conversation with your closest friends. "So," someone asks, "what do you think about. . . ." We mull it over together, and then each has a say. I build on what the piano proclaimed, or disagree with the saxophone. Playing jazz like this makes me giddy; jazz musicians know that music isn't little dots on a piece of paper, but a feeling that makes you want to stomp your feet, shout for joy, or grab a partner and swing. Taking a solo, I extend my wings, a baby bird jumping out of my nest for the first time. Flapping madly, I hope that by some act of seeming magic my music will fly on its own.
Not only am I an addict, I am also a pusher. The schools in the neighboring community are unable to afford musical instruction, so each week several other high school musicians and I teach music at an elementary school on the east side of town. I work with all of the trumpets for an hour before we join the other instruments to play as a band. Having tutored since freshman year, I've seen my students gradually improve. Four years ago, few of them could read music.
This year, one of my best students won a scholarship to the Stanford Jazz Workshop. Many students from the east side of town never continue on through high school. At our last homecoming game, all of my students came and played with the pep band. One student, who had been struggling in school, confided in me that playing with us had made him excited about attending high school for the first time. That afternoon, I saw a new music addiction forming; it was almost better than being hooked myself.

I've had a turbulent relationship with my body since first falling pregnant.
During my 20's, my weight fluctuated and when I fell pregnant it surprised me how much my body changed.
My shape shifted and transformed into something I didn't recognise. My stomach muscles separated, destroying my core and leaving me with chronic back pain. I once had a cute little 'S' shaped belly button, now its caved in on itself and entrenched by stretched and saggy skin that resembles a deflated ballon. Sexy, eh?
Your body goes through many changes from the moment you get pregnant to the postpartum period. In my first pregnancy, 32 weeks of severe morning sickness left me with little desire to exercise at all.
The truth is, keeping fit and healthy during pregnancy can be good for you and baby and has a positive impact on your physical and mental health. However, societal pressures hone in like a laser beam on the need to 'bounce back'.
Let's be honest, there is very little 'bouncing back' during the postpartum period. It is likely you are trying to get your head around a host of weird postpartum changes. Let alone get your body back to what it was pre-pregnancy.
That's precisely why it is essential to learn to understand and love your new body – it doesn't mean that you can't embark on a weight loss journey after the birth if you wish to; it's about accepting and appreciating your body's journey.
Pregnancy Means Changes: Learn to Adapt and Adjust
As your body needs to carry a baby inside the womb, it's fair to say that you're going through many changes, hormonal, emotional and purely physical. Your cute little baby bump will become uncomfortable and tiring towards the end of your third trimester.
You will find it difficult to sleep comfortably, for a start, so it's important to embrace the changes and look for solutions, such as using nursing pillows to make your bedtime more pleasant.
Simple things such as going for a walk can be extremely tiring towards the end of your pregnancy. Don't push yourself; you're not getting weaker. Your body is working full-time to maintain you and your baby healthy.
Keeping Active During Pregnancy
There is a common belief that if you're pregnant, you shouldn't be exercising at all.
In reality, pregnancy ends with giving birth, which occurs as a result of going into labour. Pushing is hard work. If you can do a little of exercising during pregnancy in the lead up to your final trimester then it may help your body deal with these pressures.
A lot of mums choose to keep exercising during their pregnancy, with the help of a specialist trainer so that they can safely build up their muscles without putting the baby at risk. Always speak to your midwife for advice if you are unsure what exercises you can do during pregnancy.
Yoga and meditation helped my restless legs and bad back. Swimming and walking was also a gentle but effective way to keep active.
After the birth, you need to take some time off to let your body heal. But keeping fit can help you to go through breastfeeding and baby care positively.
Your Body Went Through A Lot: Let It Recover
The postpartum recovery is a lot more complicated than you might think. On average, your emotions might be all over the place for up to 3 weeks after the birth – sometimes longer – as a result of hormonal imbalance.
Aside from the emotion, you'll need to recover physically from the stress the labour and the birth have put you through. It's a painful journey, there is no denying it. But you have to be aware that patience is all you need. You can't force your body to heal faster. Going through labour with a fit body can reduce the recovery time by a few weeks.
You Discover Your New Super-Body
You've gone through stretch marks and leaky breasts, now you've got to learn to love the body you've been left with. While the road to accepting your new body can be long and hard, you will soon marvel at what it is capable of.
Your arms will be stronger from carrying a 20lb toddler and you will somehow be able to sprint at amazing speed as your child darts off without warning.
Swear to love your body during the good and the bad times and to help it to be best prepared for the challenges to come.

If you haven't read the wrap-ups in the Anchorage Daily News and the Alaska Dispatch of the federal probe into Alaska public corruption pegged to last Friday's re-sentencings, you should.
More speculative is the piece in the Alaska Dispatch partly carved out of the new book on the scandals by the website's Amanda Coyne and Tony Hopfinger. My own view is that the article overplays the role of the "POLAR PEN" investigation in the political rise of Sarah Palin and goes too far in suggesting that the corruption investigation killed off the prospects for a natural gas pipeline across Alaska, but your mileage may vary.

With a few modifications, the battery technology used in most vehicles today could work in hybrid and electric vehicles, according to Firefly Energy. The company says that by removing most of the lead from batteries, they can be made to last longer and compete with the newer battery technologies.
Ed Williams, one of the co-founders of Firefly Energy, gave me the lowdown on his company's carbon graphite foam technology. The company removes 20 percent of the lead in the battery plates with a carbon graphite material that is more dense and does not corrode.
The material increases the surface area for connecting with the electrodes and taking out the lead from the plates means the lead will not crystallize, which causes the batteries to lose their ability to produce electricity over time, a process known as sulfation. "The carbon graphite has no interest in becoming part of chemistry, which enables the chemistry to continue to happen," Williams said.
Here's the explanation of the corrosion that occurs in conventional lead acid batteries from Wikipedia"
Over time, lead sulfate converts to the more stable crystalline form, coating the battery's plates. Crystalline lead sulfate does not conduct electricity and cannot be converted back into lead and lead oxide under normal charging conditions. As batteries are "cycled" through numerous discharge and charge sequences, lead sulfate that forms during normal discharge is slowly converted to a very stable crystalline form.
Williams says his batteries can be cycled thousands of times and would be substantially cheaper than lithium ion batteries. Firefly Energy is working on the first prototype now, and is aiming for a price of less than 25 percent of the cost of lithium ion batteries while offering the same power density as the nickel metal hydride batteries that power today's hybrid vehicles.
They batteries can also operate in colder temperatures than traditional lead acid batteries.
Williams said the technology will be used in a lawn care device later this year that will be sold by Husqvarna, and that the company has a development contract with the U.S. military to create batteries that could better withstand the harsh operating conditions of Iraq.
This is early development work, but removing the major technical limitations of a proven technology could be a major step forward in battery development.

"I loved filling out the baby books for my two and wanted to carry on noting everything down as they got older. I found some sweet childhood record books which I loved filling out each year around their birthdays but when my daughter turned three, I thought it was a shame there was nowhere for her to have an input so I asked her a series of questions and jotted down the answers which were both adorable and hilarious. I looked for a book that had prompts for both the child and their grown up but couldn't find one so decided to launch Colour Chronicles and make one of my own."
The Book of You is a stylish and modern memory book to be filled out each year from age one through to sixteen. Deemed as the continuation of the baby book, the journal's recordings mature as the child does spanning everything from baby hand and foot prints, first signature, all their favourite things, and ending with a note to their future self with predictions for years to come.
Every year has prompts for the grown up to write about the child 'The things you do that make me laugh' along with 'Your best quotes', everything needed to capture the year and their personality. There are age appropriate questions to ask from the age of three, 'What makes you happy?' along with 'What's the naughtiest thing you've done this year?' which evolves in to the most embarrassing thing when they get older. It's a charming book designed to promote positivity and affection which prompts delightful answers and builds in to a lasting treasury to be looked back on, jogging happy and funny memories of childhood. With a beautiful dedication page at the start, it makes a wonderful gift for any young child or parent and with a choice of six bright colours, there is a book of everyone.
