It's time for a meaty series of blog posts. This is part 0 of however many it takes.
Currency Marketing works exclusively with credit unions. That I know. However, for awhile now I have been wrestling with what Currency Marketing does for credit unions. We have been the agency of record, the design studio, the brand consultancy, the interactive agency and the communications firm. To cover all of the bases, we call ourselves a credit union marketing agency.
But then this wildly successful social-media-plus-user-generated-video-Internet-contest-spokester-extravaganza-campaign-that-never-ends-marketing-mash-up-program took us in a new direction and has given us a new competency in something very exciting and very different.
At first, I thought it was social media marketing, but that's not enough. Social media is just one success factor. The more I think about it, the more I like the term challenge marketing.
In fact, I feel so strongly about this type of marketing approach that I have changed the positioning of our firm. This is what we do.
Super-charged credit union member engagement. Driving product sales and member growth through powerful challenge marketing programs.
If you don't believe me, check out our new homepage.
I will remember 2008 as The Year of Dozens of Long Flights. I prefer the aisle seat, because I can easily grab my laptop from the overhead compartment and plunk away when the feeling hits me. On a few of the longer flights, I have been attempting to write a white paper that reverse engineers Young & Free Alberta's success.
But I realize now that I work better in blog post chunks. So, I am going to bash out a series of posts that identify the success factors of challenge marketing. And, ideally, you the reader will challenge me in the comments and in the end I will have what I need to put it all together and have the white paper that I have been hoping for.
Should you require a log-in to participate?
Does that sound like a good plan to you? I am sure I have missed something, but 10 parts will be a great start. And now that I have put it out there, I have to complete it.

D&D Fourth Edition License Unveiled!
After much hullabaloo, the open licensing for D&D Fourth Edition (4e) has been unveiled – kinda.
Wizards of the Coast is pleased to announce that third-party publishers will be allowed to publish products compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game system under the new Dungeons & Dragons 4E Game System License (D&D 4E GSL). This royalty-free license will replace the former d20 System Trademark License (STL), and will have a System Reference Document (SRD) available for referencing permissible content.
The D&D 4E GSL will allow third-party publishers to create roleplaying game products in fantasy settings with the D&D 4th Edition rules, and publishers who register with WotC will be granted the right to use a version of the D&D logo that denotes the product as compatible with the D&D 4th Edition Roleplaying Game, in accordance with WotC’s terms and conditions. The effective start date for sales of D&D 4E GSL publications will be October 1, 2008.
The license associated SRD will be available on June 6, 2008, at no cost. A small group of publishers received advanced notice and will receive these documents prior to June 6, at no cost, in order to prepare for publication of compatible materials by the effective start date. If you haven’t already been contacted by WotC, you will be able to access the documents on the Wizards website beginning on June 6, 2008.
Wizards is also working on the details of a second royalty-free license, the d20 Game System License (d20 GSL). This license will allow third-party publishers to create roleplaying game products in non-fantasy settings with the 4E rules. The exact details for the d20 GSL will be released as they become available.
I’ve posted some questions to get clarification – it’s not clear what this means for individuals and also begs some questions about how restrictive it’ll be. More as I get it!
This entry was posted in talk and tagged 4e, D&D, GSL, license, open gaming, RPG, RPGs. Bookmark the permalink.
OK, updates courtesy of Scott Rouse.
1. Individuals will need to send in a “reply card” accepting the license, then they can publish.
2. Though the publisher start date is October 2008, you can make “free” stuff earlier.
3. The intent for what products are allowed is the full gamut – the D&D GSL will be like the current d20 STL.
4. The d20 GSL – which will be kinda like the current OGL – allowing non-D&D d20 games – will outlaw other medieval fantasy games but allow other genres.

Being the number one choice of financial software for small to medium businesses worldwide, EasyBiz QuickBooks recognises the challenges that growing businesses face in today’s business landscape.
Within the South African context, QuickBooks has also identified that a lot of these growing entrepreneurial concerns have been started by ‘Mompreneurs’ – talented and skilled women that have families and other responsibilities and have opted out of the corporate world in order to seek out that elusive state of ‘life balance’ by starting their own businesses in order to be more in control of their own destinies.
This year EasyBiz QuickBooks and Entrepreneur, in recognition of this growing powerhouse of working moms, has decided to launch the QuickBooks Mompreneur Competition in association with Entrepreneur Magazine and Independent Newspapers, to celebrate and pay tribute to these incredible women who have taken the brave step of leaving the corporate world to start their own business.
In year one, there will be no restrictions on entry in terms of size of business or turn-over. The rules are simple, you must have started your own business and you must be a Mom.
In years to come, categories will be added to the competition, but for this year all businesses will be judged on their own merit in terms of the idea, the execution and its relative success.
For the inaugural Mompreneur Competition in 2016, entries will be driven through online and social media platforms – predominantly through the QuickBooks and Entrepreneur Websites and via Independent Newspapers.
Here, Moms can either enter themselves, or be entered via a nomination. The entry form is simple, and needs to be accompanied by a photograph of the entrant and a short video explaining how and why they started their own business and what that business is.
The campaign will run from May to July with the winner being judged by a panel of successful entrepreneurs and business journalists, being announced in August – Women’s Month.
QuickBooks and Entrepreneur’s Mompreneur Competition is a way of acknowledging and celebrating women who have started businesses and taken on entrepreneurial challenges in order to try and balance having a family while still contributing to the household income.
If this is you or you know someone who fits the bill, enter now at www.quickbooks.co.za/mompreneur.

It's not safe to use listtransactions this way.
I know I've been criticized for being reluctant about listtransactions. Let me explain my reluctance.
The model where you assume you only need to see new transactions because you've already seen previous transactions is not true. Old transactions can change at any time.
Now that we have the Accounts feature making it easier to do it the right way, we're better prepared to have listtransactions.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- U.S. Army Alaska and the Indian Army celebrated the end of Yudh Abhyas 2010 during a ceremony Nov. 14 at Buckner Physical Fitness Center, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
Yudh Abhyas 2010 established and enhanced relationships between the two militaries. The 14-day combined training exercise expanded operational and cultural knowledge between U.S. and Indian Soldiers and increased knowledge of peacekeeping operations.
"This two-week exercise brought these Soldiers together for this increasingly complex exercise. What we've done here through Yudh Abhyas is important. It's important to this relationship between our two countries," said Brig. Gen. Raymond Palumbo, commanding general of U.S. Army Alaska.
Approximately 750 Soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (National Guard) and Indian Army soldiers from the 62nd Infantry and 5th parachute Regiment Brigade participated in Yudh Abhyas 2010 and filled the formation during the ceremony.
"I thought the outcome of this exercise was great. As far as our training objectives, we met all of them," said Maj. Edward Berg, brigade judge advocate, 4th ABCT, 25th ID. "The thing that will last for me, that I will remember most, is just the time getting to know my counterpart and creating that friendship."
The ceremony marked the end of many other events centralized on joint cohesion on and off the field of training.
"We had a great time getting to know each other on a personal level as well as a professional level," Berg added. "I think it's important not only personally to make friends with people from different nations, but also professionally as we go more towards joint operating environments."
Yudh Abhyas 2010 included a command post exercise that focused on combined peacekeeping operations, a field training exercise that included several combined missions, marksmanship and tactical training highlighted by a Javelin live-fire, a combined U.S. and India airborne jump, as well as various cultural activities and social exchanges.
The exercise was significant within all levels involved, Palumbo said. It strengthened national bonds between India and the United States, it brought two allied militaries together on the same field, and gave each individual participant a chance to experience an unfamiliar culture and establish new friendships.
"It's great that we brought two professional armies together for something like this. I think we've created great friendships for the future," Berg said.
Soldiers and leaders from both armies presented gifts to commemorate the bonds established through the training event, and bid farewell to each other to conclude the ceremony and Yudh Abhyas 2010.
Yudh Abhyas is a regularly-scheduled bilateral, conventional-forces training exercise, sponsored by U.S. Army, Pacific and the Indian army. The exercise is designed to promote cooperation between the two militaries to develop U.S. Army Pacific and USARAK relationships with India and promote interoperability through combined military decision making process, battle tracking and maneuvering forces, and exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures.

October’s almost over, so it’s that time of the year again. No, we’re not talking about Christmas. We’re not talking about All Saints’ Day or All Souls Day either. We’re talking about Halloween, an occasion that’s celebrated by zombie lovers, Twilight fans, and enthusiastic kids whose love for candy is matched only by their love for wearing costumes. If you live in a condo community, chances are the young ones in your area are abuzz, and the unit owners—yourself included—are busy thinking of the best Halloween condo design ideas to set the proper mood. We’ve already gone through some awesome Halloween condo design ideas, but why don’t we step up the elegance this time around?
Of course, as a condo renter, you probably have certain aesthetic standards that you want to adhere to. Cobwebs, skeletons, and black and yellow balloons are passé, but honestly, nobody will say they’re chic or tasteful—at least not the way most people do them. Halloween is a time for trick-or-treating, and the real trick is to find Halloween decorating ideas that won’t disrupt the elegant feel of your condo unit. If this is your Mission: Impossible for this year, then read on.
You’re probably sick of all the articles on the Internet telling you to use candles to make your house look spooky, as if people haven’t been doing that since even before the Internet was created. So why not put a bit more craftsmanship into it? Take advantage of the candles’ waxy, moldable nature, and try playing around with them. You can carve them into shapes or embed little design ornaments to make them look unique. This is sure to grab your guests’ attention!
Sure, you can put that candy in a plain glass bowl. Or you can put them in decorative mason jars for a little style. Arrange your candies as tastefully as you can, and if you want to add an aura of creepiness, simple touches like putting them in an old wooden crate can pay dividends.
To give trick-or-treaters a little extra joy, consider making Halloween treats from scratch. You can put in awesome and whimsical touches, like baking Tim-Burton-themed goodies and placing plastic insects on the plates. Don’t worry if you’re out of ideas or can’t bake like a master chef—there are plenty of Halloween treat recipes for you to try.
Of course, who can think of Halloween without thinking of pumpkins? The really artistic and skillful can take a whole pumpkin or squash and carve it into a traditional jack-o’-lantern. If you’re less confident in your ability to handle sharp tools, you can just take the easy way out and simply paint a few squashes white and black. Trust us, the effect is really striking!
If you have a few lamps in your unit, you can try embellishing them for All Hallow’s Eve by dressing them up a little. The lampshade is a blank canvas that people often overlook. You can paint it, draw on it or even stick cool decals to create striking patterns. Just think about what Halloween motif you’d like to apply—black cats? bats? a full moon?—and make it happen.
Looking for a dramatic flourish? Black and silver are a classic horror movie combination. If you’ve been dying for an excuse to show off your silverware, then Halloween is a good occasion to do it. Polish your silver and pair it with black accent pieces to get a look that would make any vampire proud.
Studio condo design is challenging enough on its own—trying to achieve a creepy yet fun look for trick-or-treaters adds another layer of difficulty. If you’re looking for a new yet simple way to amaze your visitors, try creating a salt light. All you need is a big block of salt that you can break into chunks, a translucent bowl, and a light source, and you’re ready to go. Can’t find that type of salt? Some types of beauty soap can do the trick. Of course, you can make a Himalayan salt lamp that looks a little more chic.
The reason most Halloween craft ideas sound the same is because people are fixated on the idea that Halloween is supposed to be scary. The truth is you don’t have to plan your decorations around monsters, ghosts, and witches. You can make your life much simpler by creating a theme around autumn colors. You’d be surprised how far you can go even if you’re restricted to shades of yellow, brown, red, and orange.
Some of the best small condo design ideas for Halloween are so simple that when you read about them you just have to wonder why you didn’t think of them yourself. This is probably one of those ideas. Take a glass container, some water, and some food dye, and mix it to create a magic potion to delight visiting kids. With the right container and the right color dye, you might even be able to make something that you can actually use the whole year round.
Another out-of-the-box idea is to use decorations that you’d normally see during other occasions or holidays. For example, we usually see wreaths at Christmas, but with a few tweaks, you can create wreaths that are neither too festive nor too somber. It could take a lot of effort, but it’ll definitely be something with a unique artistic flavor.
With the hustle and bustle of life forcing people to spend an increasing proportion of their waking hours at school, in the office, commuting or preparing for one of those three situations, it’s no wonder some homeowners and condo owners aren’t even bothering with their holiday decorations anymore. “We just take them down again immediately, anyway. What’s the point?” Sure, there’s nothing wrong with seeing things that way. But on the other hand, a creative and positive mindset will let you see that decorating your condo for the Halloween is not a chore, but an opportunity for you to unleash your inner artist.

Was intrigued by this graphic from the Windows Live login screen. Arguably all three phones are displaying the same information for each message, and (barring the names) even the text is a similar size. Yet iOS and Android manage six to seven full previews, and WP only does four.
I'm not arguing message counts and more efficient layouts automatically correlate with increased productivity or usability, but it'd certainly cut down on time spent scrolling!

The picture book is a form of illustrated literature popularized in the twentieth century. Although the illustrations can use a range of media from oil painting to collage to quilting, they are most commonly watercolor or pencil drawings.
Picture books are for young children, and while some may have very basic language, most are written with vocabulary a child can understand but not necessarily read. For this reason, picture books tend to have two functions in the lives of children: they are first read to young children by adults, and then children read them themselves once they begin to learn to read.
The precursors of the modern picture book were illustrated books of rhymes and short stories produced by English illustrators Randolph Caldecott, Walter Crane, and Kate Greenaway in the late nineteenth century. These had a larger proportion of pictures to words than earlier books, and many of their pictures were in color.
The first book with a more modern format was Beatrix Potter‘s “The Tale of Peter Rabbit“, ordinally published in 1902.
The Caldecott Medal, named for illustrator Randolph Caldecott, is given each year by the American Library association to the illustrator of the best American picture book of that year.

McLaren Automotive has announced its backing for the 2018 Telegraph UK STEM Awards that highlight science, technology, engineering and maths-based careers.
McLaren Automotive is supporting the automotive technology category to emphasise the importance of STEM careers. The Awards – now in their fifth year – are aimed at talented undergraduate level students and showcase the company’s constant drive to hire the best talent needed to develop the next generation of world-beating sports cars and supercars.
For talented and ambitious students, the Awards provide a rare opportunity to present their bright ideas to some of the key decision-makers at one of the world’s most exciting car companies.
To enter the McLaren Automotive-backed automotive technology category, McLaren’s judges have set students a challenge linked to the rise of connected cars.
While vehicles are becoming ever smarter and more connected, McLaren owners will always love the thrill of driving. Students will need to come up with ideas for how technology can be used in McLaren’s future luxury cars in a way that ensures they continue to engage customers in the entertainment of driving.
The winner of McLaren’s automotive technology category will go forward to compete to be crowned the overall UK STEM Awards winner, with a chance to receive a grand prize of £25,000 at the prestigious final to be held in London next summer.
Previous winners of the McLaren category impressed judges so much that they were offered permanent positions at the company’s world-renowned global headquarters in Woking, Surrey.
Judging the McLaren category are Paul Arkesden, Head of Engineering for McLaren Special Operations (MSO) responsible for product development at McLaren’s bespoke operation; Simon Lacey, Head of Advance Engineering for McLaren Automotive, who creates and develops game-changing technology for future cars; and Dr Caroline Hargrove, Technical Director for McLaren Applied Technologies, McLaren Automotive’s sister-company within the McLaren Group, that helped to develop the hybrid powertrain of the McLaren P1™.
Full details of how to enter the McLaren Automotive category of the 2018 Telegraph UK STEM awards will be published in The Sunday Telegraph on October 1 and on the Telegraph website at www.telegraph.co.uk/STEMawards.
After the February 19, 2018, closing date for submissions , the trio of McLaren judges will shortlist up to five of the best entries based on what they feel are the most creative and innovative ideas that meet the challenge. Those who make it through Paul, Simon and Caroline’s expert scrutiny will then be invited to the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, where the company designs, develops and hand-assembles its cars to present their ideas in person. After that they will get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour to see at first-hand the work of some of the company’s 2,100 strong workforce.
McLaren’s involvement in the Awards is part of its long-term commitment to encourage the uptake of STEM subjects. That commitment includes a network of McLaren STEM Ambassadors who regularly visit schools, colleges and science fairs, as well as support for schemes that reach younger age-groups, such as the recent BBC Live Lesson on physical forces that was broadcast live from the McLaren Technology Centre to primary schools across the UK.
Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive said: “We’re delighted to support the STEM Awards and for McLaren Automotive to back the automotive technology category. Our judges have set students a challenge that is both stretching and exciting but also one that is very relevant to a forward-thinking company like ours that is about creating the ultimate driving experience and enabling that through the clever deployment of technology,” .
