Luke Bosher reports on how the UoB Men's Football 3rds continued their unbeaten start to the season against Wolves.
It was end-to-end football as the Birmingham 3rds played their second fixture against Wolverhampton this season, and after a 5-4 defeat to their 2nds in the cup this 3-2 victory over their 1sts at Metchley may have been somewhat surprising.
The goalscoring began 2 minutes in as left winger Byron delivered a looping corner from the right hand side, and poor keeping from the Wolverhampton keeper saw the ball prodded in following a goalmouth scramble.
Warning signs of an equaliser soon followed though, as minutes later a ball was whipped in from the Wolverhampton left, and the subsequent header was deflected just wide. Sure enough, the away side’s right winger who curved his run well to avoid the offside trap, latched onto a weighted through ball from midfield and finished coolly past keeper Leach after 8 minutes.
Not long after their equaliser, Wolves nearly gifted a goal to Birmingham, as the right back misplaced a pass to Birmingham striker Airey, who inexplicably shot straight at the keeper from 3 yards, and onlookers were shocked all the more by the fact that the rebound ended up in the keepers arms too.
However, this appeared to encourage the home side, and following a long throw in from Wolverhampton high up the pitch, Airey finished off a quality counter attack involving winger Williamson and captain Whitehead.
Sadly this game was filled with refereeing calls that baffled both teams; most notably was a decision in the 41st minute to allow play to continue after Wolves’ winger went on a mazy run and appeared to be fouled on the edge of the box by last man Joe Savin.
At half time Birmingham may have been disappointed to be only one goal ahead, given the one-on-one Joe Airey failed to convert just before the interval, and the fact the away side seemed to be losing their heads and arguing not only with the referee, but among themselves too.
It was therefore disappointing from a Birmingham perspective to see the score levelled at 2-2 ten minutes into the half as another through ball split the defence and the away striker finished well.
The game only then livened up again in the closing minutes as both sides looked for a winner, and as Leach saved a Wolverhampton one-on-one it looked like the match would end a draw. This was not the case however, as a moment of magic from substitute winger Jamie Jordache, who chipped a first-time volley over the Wolves keeper who had cleared poorly, secured all three points for the home side.
It is perhaps necessary for Birmingham to focus on not allowing their opposition to create chances with simple through balls, as they themselves constantly look a goal threat, and have scored at least twice in every game this season. All in all it was a deserved victory for the Lions, who now sit on top of their league and continue their unbeaten season.

Kofi’s first performance was with his father, jazz-rock legend Ginger Baker, on live TV at the age of six. He’s since played drums behind Tom Jones, Jack Bruce, Steve Marriott, and as half of a polyrhythmic powerhouse with his father across Europe in the 1980s. More recently, Kofi has played the Extreme Guitar Tour with Uli Jon Roth, Vinny Appice and Vinnie Moore, and joined with Malcolm Bruce to rekindle the spirit of Cream to critical acclaim on stage in US and UK. His own albums include Lost City and Abstract Logic, with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane.
The son of Cream singer-bassist Jack Bruce, Malcolm grew up in the thick of rock royalty and, via the Guildhall School of Music, began performing professionally at 16. As pianist, bassist, guitarist or engineer he has shared studios with Little Richard, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Dr John, and recorded and performed often with his father in the UK, US and Europe. Recent tours have included 60 dates with Joe Satriani and revisiting the music of Cream with Kofi Baker and Will Johns. Malcolm’s new album, Salvation, is now firmly released and he is touring in support through Europe and the UK in 2018.
Encouragement from his uncle by marriage, Eric Clapton, was an auspicious start for teenaged singer-guitarist Will Johns. The son of legendary recording engineer Andy Johns (the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin), he has since performed with Joe Strummer, Ronnie Wood, Jack Bruce, and Bill Wyman, and most recently the music of Cream with Malcolm Bruce and Kofi Baker. By several curious twists of the family tree, Will also counts George Harrison, Mick Fleetwood, and the great rock producer Glyn Johns as uncles. Will has released three solo albums – “Count On Me”, “Hooks and Lines” and “Something Old, Something New ” — in 2016.

Piracy has seen a resurgence in the last decade, and now lurk in waters from the Atlantic to the West Pacific threatening maritime security. According to the International Maritime Bureau 2014 Piracy Report: Oil tankers and bulk carriers are the most at risk to be attacked: they are easy to board, slow moving vessels that often carry valuable cargo.
International naval forces have done a great deal to secure the waters between Africa and India– in recent years, piracy has decreased in the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Other waters, however, off the coast of Nigeria and between the many islands of Indonesia, have seen an uptick in piracy.
International naval forces can only patrol so much of the world’s water.
It is ultimately up to the private shipping companies and their crews to secure their vessels.
Crew receive information on a save sea passage.
Each crew should do a thorough risk assessment before beginning each journey.
There are many areas that are very safe for international maritime travel, but knowing where the dangerous waters are is a key to survival. There are often maritime security organizations that specialize in a certain area. For instance the Maritime Security Centre: Horn of Africa, focuses on threats off the east coast of Africa, and ReCAAP, a similar organization in Southeast Asia, protects ships there. These organizations have invaluable information for ships traveling through those regions, including real-time warnings of pirate activity.
Pirates use knives, machetes, guns and pretty much everything that can harm and put maritime security at risk.
According to the IMB 2014 Piracy Report, there are differences between the three main regions of piracy– West Africa, East Africa and Southeast Asia. Knives are common near Bangladesh; guns are more common near Nigeria. Indonesian pirates tend to be the best armed. Different weapons will dictate which physical defenses you should prepare, and how you plan to react to an attack.
Check in with the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations to make sure your travel is registered. Make sure to get up to date information on the recommended international shipping travel corridors– these tend to be better protected and have far less of a risk of pirates. Be sure to leave your ship’s automatic identification system on, so you can be easily located in the event of an incident.
Pirates are known to take crew as hostages to demand ransom from companies.
The pirates attack on small, fast skiffs that rapidly approach the ship. The pirates, sometimes armed with AK-47’s or RPG’s, fire at the bridge of the ship, trying to get the captain to slow down or stop. They then position themselves alongside the ship and board with lightweight ladders, brutally overcoming any resistance from the crew. What comes next depends on the area. Pirates in Nigeria are well known for their smash and grab tactics— they’re more likely to steal the cargo and leave the crew than take hostages. East African pirates will take hostages and hope that the shipping companies will pay a high ransom fee.
Looking for suspicious activity with high quality professional binoculars.
Provide extra lookouts on each watch, and make sure all lookouts are keeping in communication with each other. Short rotations will prevent them from getting sleepy, optimizing their alertness. Lookouts equipped with binoculars will be able to see over long distances during the day, and those equipped with night ocular devices when it’s dark will also have an advantage.
Pirates always aim to take control of the bridge.
The bridge is the main focus of pirate attacks. Kevlar body armour and helmets for the bridge team will protect from the initial fire pirates direct at the bridge.
Placing a double layer chain link fence around the back and sides of the bridge can decrease the effectiveness of RPG’s. Every second counts– pirate entry into the bridge can be delayed with reinforced doors and locks.
The Best Management Practices for Protection Against Somalia Based Piracy guide recommends using physical barriers to hinder pirates if they try to board your vessel. A barbed wire fence at the edge of the deck can especially effective if constructed to hang overboard, preventing pirates from hooking their ladders. Electric fences can also work for certain vessels, but shouldn’t be used for ships carrying hydrocarbon.
One thing there is plenty of in the ocean is water. High powered water cannons mounted at potential pirate boarding locations can shoot out.
This water can either be directed to physically impede the pirates from boarding, or even to make it difficult for them to move their skiff up to the edge of the boat. Even if they’re not impenetrable, even a short delay can allow the crew to call for help.
Private armed guards are a major deterrent to pirates for several reasons.
They’re trained maritime security operators and are often equipped with body armour and longer range weapons. Oftentimes all it takes are a few warning shots from a private guard to scare off the pirates all-together. But international maritime law can make working with these contractors tricky; many ports ban ships with weapons on board. A recent rise in floating armories is a solution to this problem– contractors can store their weapons before heading in to port.
A citadel is a fortified room where a crew can go in case of a pirate attack. Citadels have heavily reinforced doors, stocks of food and water, and communications equipment. Citadels are constructed as a last resort– if the ship isn’t able to evade or deter the pirates, and has no armed guard, the captain can order the crew to retreat. Citadels are also very expensive to construct and nothing is impenetrable– a clever or determined pirate can find his way through almost anything.
Tom has written a number of articles as part of Safe Guard Armour. He uses his knowledge and expertise in ballistics and body armour to provide information on a wide range of topics.

Dave said I could pick any topic I wanted to write about for this piece. Lots of creative freedom… and what came to mind? Nothing.
Well, maybe not ‘nothing’ – but I’m not sure if you want to hear about my crazy day to day, work, kids, when will Game of Thrones come back (April 2019 FYI)… You get the idea.
“Give me a topic!” I thought, looking for more specific direction. And, as I had minored in my whole life and then fully mastered in college… procrastination set in.
Finally, I talked about it to a dear friend and fellow fragrance lover. I asked what she would like to hear me write about. And when she said it, all I could think was “WELL, OBVIOUSLY”.
Bespoke Perfumery. My first and truest love in this field, the practice that first captured my interest and then, my life. The collaborative act of co-creating a fragrance for another human being; the emotional and spiritual journey you take together olfactively. And I realized that each Fragrance Journey, the creative process of developing a perfume for one based on their most intimate memories, fears, desires, and emotions – and translating this and capturing the essence of who they are and what they love into a bottle – this is both vulnerable and empowering simultaneously. To wear your custom scent is to be naked before the world.
As I started to think about this, I realized how truly this act, in many ways for many of us who were at the forefront of this artisan perfumery wave, was the gateway drug.
I found Perfumery on a fall day like any other day. I was in Boston, walking Newbury Street in between classes, and I stopped into a store called Essence. Enya was playing, crystals were laced around the bottles on the bar, and I was asked if I wanted to be anointed. It was my life before that day, and my life after that day. I was engulfed in this new world, the sensuality of it, the intimate nature of it. I had found an art form that allowed me to ask a perfect stranger about their deepest thought and childhood memories, all while I smelled their skin. Are you kidding me? I had found my CALLING.
As it turns out, I had also found my people. Fellow fragrance lovers on both sides of that blending bar. Dawn Spencer-Hurwitz, Akuura Kulak, Paula Rigby, my oldest and dearest friend from NY joined me there (& who is also still perfuming), Mark Enos, Ida Miester on the receiving end, waxing poetic even then. It was this exploration, the deep dive I did on my own in gathering everything I could find to read on perfumery, and the blends I was collaborating on each day I came to work, each day anew, each day striking some cord, some joy in a customer – I was hooked for life.
I see now with the clarity of hindsight how this space – ESSENCE – this incubator allowed us - babies, really – the freedom to play and to create. And to see how far we could go. Yosh started at an Essense in Colorado. Many of us started playing in these arenas as it was the first access to our materials. The Body Shop perhaps opened the door – we just ran through it.
I remember when I moved to California and was creating custom blends out of my tool box from Sears in 1994 that people thought (including my ever-supportive parents) that I was crazy. When I would meet people and introduce myself as a Perfumer, they had no idea what I was talking about.
Then, something happened. After years and years of being an olfactive artist, I started to hear a rumbling, which has now become a roar. In 1999 I met Mandy Aftel, who is still one of my dearest friends and whom inspires me daily. We were two crafters in a sea of fragrance industry elite – and we understood each other while we stood by each other, and although our mediums differed, our hearts were aligned.
In the years that followed I had apprentices that came and went – but never truly left me. Many ended up following their own fragrance dreams, Ashley Eden Kessler, Marlene Stang, Deb Piver, Yvettra Grantham to name a few.
In 2012 Saskia Wilson-Brown founded the IAO here in Los Angeles. I have the honor of serving as a founding Board Member, and at the very first awards, was thrilled to give the first Artisan Award. I remember clearly, as I looked out at a sea of faces that has multiplied greatly in the years since, that I felt that I had been speaking an alien language for my entire adult life, and that I had finally found my tribe that spoke in the same tongue. I feel that now, in this very moment that I type these words, that you, if you are here on this site and have gotten this far into my stream of consciousness, you speak my language too. That we are all finding each other, and how very lucky we are for it.
And that Independent American Perfumery is only just at its beginning.

I dont know how to add Autotune 5 into my studio one.
If you have Artist, you can't until you purchase the vst support add on in the store.
asked Sep 20, 2016 in Studio One 3 by alainguerra (290 points) Deleted 3 party plugins.
79.99 for basic functions?!?!?? Thats GARBAGE!!
I'm sorry but I agree with keonte.
I've already shelled out money for Notion 3, 4 and 5, as well as on a bunch of products in the past. Now I've got to upgrade to Notion 6, buy the Artist version of Studio One 3, AND buy VST support -- which, as I'll be paying more than 1500 NOK for the N6 upgrade and the Studio, should be included! Or at the very least offered at a discount, and not for freaking 860-something NOK extra.
Why was this decision made? I can understand dropping VST support in the Prime version, but why would you extort your customers like that? Why??

Otters – weird, wild, silly, cutting, but always fun. When I first met them, AAlgar was already AAlgar Lord of Gumba, LG was a popular senior with a car, and Mark was this cool college guy they knew. Those that had moved away had become legend. I listened intently to stories and amusing anecdotes featuring such heroes as Data, Roman the Spud, and Eric the Nose.
The first time that I met the otters I was introduced as Mel’s “Cute Friend Jenny.” The next day I was walking down the hallways of GMHS and heard “Hello, Cute-Friend-Jenny.” I turned around, a bewildered look upon my face. And there it was. I had a title.
I distinctly remember meeting Mark for the first time. It was my freshman year of high school and I was in the color guard. A football game had just let out. Mel and I were on our way to the parking lot when we ran into LG accompanied by a loveable looking Filipino carrying a mini-cassette recorder. I participated in his tribute to Twin Peaks by speaking the word, “Doughnut” into his recorder.
Ducks and bunnies, fish shoes and disco ties, psycho chicks, Rupert the pig dog, exploding milkshakes (that was very strange!), blue people named gumbans, female jousting (not sure Gloria Steinem would approve), Christmas carolers outside my window in May (so freaked my dad out!), sneaking out of my house, monty python, flowers and hugs, pulp fiction parties, singing rocky horror in the park, and so many more memories.
Thank you Otters! I had so much fun!

ALFRETON Town moved out of the Blue Square Bet Premier Division bottom four for the first time this season after securing their second away win of the campaign with a 3-0 victory at bottom-of-the-table Bath City who finished the game with nine men after having two players sent off.
The Reds went ahead on 17 minutes when a Leigh Franks long throw was headed into his own net by City's Adam Connolly.
After both home skipper Gethin Jones and Sean Canham were sent off on 59 minutes, the lead was doubled on 88 minutes when Nathan Jarman netted from the penalty spot after he had been impeded by home keeper Glyn Garner.
On loan midfield man Craig Clay had made his debut from the bench on 75 minutes and he wrapped up three priceless points in the 90th minute when he drilled in a cross from Nathan Arnold.
The Reds man of the match was Dan Lowson who produced three top drawer saves in the first half.
Alfreton Town are back in action on Saturday when they travel to promotion-chasing Luton Town.

This is pair of original Swan chairs designed by Arne Jacobsen in vintage saddle tan color leather. They are in great original condition, and swivel freely. These Swan chairs retain their original Fritz Hansen label with the Fritz Hansen logo and “Made in Denmark” molded into the underside of the metal base. In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the Swan chair for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The swan chair is still in production, but sadly the original design of the chair base has been extensively altered and no longer is formed from a solid cast piece as Jacobsen designed it.

I remember sitting with a group of friends back in 2012 and downloading an early version of Snapchat.
We laughed and deleted the app.
Four years later, and Snapchat are the ones who are laughing. Their app is now worth a staggering $20 billion, they turned down an acquisition offer from Facebook, and they’ve got more more users than Twitter (100 million, to be precise).
That last one might surprise you: more users than Twitter.
In fact, Snapchat grew more in 2015 than Twitter grew in four years. Businesses are still pouring much more time and effort into promoting on Twitter, when Snapchat is actually bigger and more engaging.
Is it time to start marketing your business on Snapchat?
We’ll start this article with a few statistics that might just convince you. Then we’ll take a look at some of the most successful Snapchat campaigns, and – finally – I’ll explain some of the real, actionable ways you can use Snapchat as part of your mobile marketing campaign.
For marketers and entrepreneurs, Snapchat isn’t as simple as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. But those that dig deep enough and get the hang of it are richly rewarded.
Snapchat videos are viewed more times than Facebook videos (10 billion per day compared to Facebook’s 8 billion).
These views are currently increasing 400% year on year.
Adverts on Snapchat are viewed 1 million times every day.
Snapchat is growing faster than any other social media platform, ever. It’s already surpassing Facebook and Twitter statistics, and it hasn’t peaked yet.
60% of all smartphone users aged 13-34 use Snapchat.
This year, the app replaced Instagram as America’s second favorite social network (Facebook is still way out in front).
Snapchat is one of the very best ways to reach the hallowed millennial age group. These 18-34 year-olds are the most active sharers and promoters, and they spend a collective $600 billion every year.
They are also notoriously the most difficult to reach and influence, yet they use and trust Snapchat in their hoards.
Who else is using Snapchat marketing?
Despite its enormous size and potential, businesses and marketers have been slow to latch onto its power.
However, there are some success stories we can learn from, not least The White House!
Yep, President Obama himself uses Snapchat to keep followers up to date with behind-the-scenes snaps from the Oval Office.
The White House are using Snapchat as part of their campaign to ‘meet people where they are”.
Simply put, it means they aren’t waiting for followers to find them, they’re actively going out there and connecting with people on the platforms and apps they’re using every day.
And that’s something that every business – big and small – should be doing.
Cleverly using Snapchat’s disappearing images, the WWF posted a series of images about endangered species. Using the hashtag #LastSelfie, the WWF posted disappearing images of Gorillas and Polar Bears urging viewers to take action before they disappeared for real.
Sour Patch Kids partnered with an established and popular ‘Snapchat celebrity’ to promote their brand.
Teaming up with comedian and social media influencer, Logan Paul, they tapped into his enormous following of teenagers and young adults. By doing this, they managed to increase their awareness in a creative way.
ASOS use Snapchat to show viewers behind the scenes at exclusive events. During London Fashion Week, for example, ASOS snaps were viewed over 20 million times.
They also send customers exclusive offers that disappear quickly. It’s the perfect way to get customers to ‘impulse buy’ and treat them to a discount.
Gatorade went one step further with their Snapchat campaign. They partnered with the app to create a Gatorade ‘lens’ to coincide with the 2016 Super Bowl.
A Snapchat ‘lens’ is a sort-of filter you can put over your pictures and videos. As you can see in the image above, Gatorade created a lens that let users send a picture of themselves being dunked with a drink cooler – just like coaches at the real Super Bowl.
You can probably only try this if you have a huge advertising budget! However, it’s a good example of what can be done on the app.
Okay, last one. The NBA recently used Snapchat to celebrate Kevin Durant’s ‘Most Valuable Player’ award. Using ‘Snapchat Stories’, they urged users to head to their website to watch the full stream.
Snapchat is a useful way to cross-promote your products and services, and get your followers to take action.
Now that we’ve seen how the big businesses are using the app, let’s dive into the real, actionable ways you can start using Snapchat.
Social media has allowed brands to show even more ‘behind-the-curtain’ content than ever before. In other words, they can let customers into their world.
We all love to get a glimpse behind the scenes, and this trick has worked very well for Asos, as we saw above. For a fashion seller, the ability to send snaps from exclusive fashion events, launch parties, and runway shows is a great way to connect with your target demographic.
Airline company AerLingus are one of my favorites, using Snapchat to take followers into the cockpit of their planes.
Of course, we don’t all have access to exclusive fashion parties or plane cockpits! But even letting your followers see behind the scenes in the office helps build a connection with your audience.
Snapchat gives your followers a real-time ‘snapshot’ of your business. Let them in!
Snapchat has always felt like a very private and exclusive space.
Unlike Facebook or Twitter where all the world can see what you post, Snapchat feels much more like a direct, personal message. It puts it on a par with email marketing, where you can reach right into your followers’ world.
That’s why the app is perfect for giving your followers access to exclusive content and announcements. It feels more personal, making a stronger connection with your followers.
Again, fashion retailers are great at using Snapchat in this way. Some big-name fashion designers (like Rebecca Minkoff) have unveiled their collections on the app before they hit the catwalk, for example.
For one of your followers, seeing a new product before the media is a huge thrill and a great way to build loyalty with your customers.
In the past, we’ve talked about creating a sense of urgency to convince customers to buy products. By giving customers a time limit before an offer runs out, you can compel them to take action.
You can do a similar thing by running a limited edition of a product (“only 8 left in stock!”) Tricks like this greatly increase the likelihood of making a sale.
You can take advantage of this by sending your followers exclusive discounts and offers. First of all, it’s an exclusive deal, and your followers will feel like they’re getting special treatment.
But secondly, that timer instantly gives the customer a sense of urgency. They’ll rush to write down the code, and hopefully rush to buy something from your store.
Amazon has started using this trick on their Snapchat account, with really short time limits on the check-out time. It becomes like a race to get the deal!
Just like on Facebook and Twitter, endless self-promotion is likely to turn your followers off. It’s a good idea to follow a ⅓ rule.
In other words, only one third of your snaps or posts should be overtly self-promotional. With the other two thirds, use the opportunity to show off your personality and engage with your audience.
The New York Times are great at this. With a self-deprecating twist, they began by teasing themselves about their lack of expertise on the app. It came across as very personal and honest.
Like other social networks, Snapchat works best when you interact and engage with your followers.
One of the best ways to do this is by running competitions and asking for input from fellow Snapchat users. GrubHub (a food delivery service) has consistently been singled out as a Snapchat success story. In fact, in 2014, they had the highest Snapchat ‘score’ of any brand thanks to replying to every snap they received from fans.
They also ran a hugely popular competition, asking followers to ‘snap them back’ with a food doodle.
This is a super simple trick you can recreate with your followers.
The rise of social media has seen an enormous rise in ‘influencers’, whether it’s YouTube vloggers, Vine sensations or Snapchat celebrities with followers in their millions.
One way to reach a huge audience is to partner up with these big accounts to promote your product. I explained before how Sour Patch Kids used this trick by partnering with a famous comedian, but they’re not the only ones.
Marriott hotels hooked up with four different influencers in the travel niche to take over their Snapchat account. These four influencers used Snapchat to tell stories from all over the world, including a behind-the-scenes look at the exclusive opening of a new hotel in Hawaii.
Most ‘influencers’ with thousands of followers are open to promotional content. Reach out to a handful of influencers in your niche and see if you can strike a deal.
One of the most powerful features of Snapchat is the ‘stories’ section.
Rather than posting just one self-destructing image or video, Snapchat Stories is more like a slideshow. This allows you to string multiple videos or photos together to tell a story.
When Dominos pizza company joined Snapchat in 2016, for example, they kicked off with a long Snapchat story following the journey of a pizza delivery guy. On his way, he was abducted by aliens before finally delivering the pizza.
This irreverent story actually increased sales directly, without any forcible advertising.
By connecting with your followers in a natural, organic way, you can retain brand awareness and engage with customers. Ultimately, this translates directly into better business.
Of course, building a presence on Snapchat takes time, just like any social media network.
However, you can leapfrog the process somewhat if you’ve got an advertising budget. Snapchat’s advertising opportunities are still in their infancy, but it’s worth looking into.
‘Snap Ads’ are Snapchats most prominent ad program. It allows you to create a ten second vertical that appears in context with other apps. You’re also given the option to make it interactive and allows users to ‘swipe up’ to find out more information.
Another option is teaming up directly with Snapchat to buy sponsorship of its live events feed, called ‘Our Stories’. Previous examples include Samsung who sponsored coverage of the American Music Awards. A similar initiative is purchasing sponsored ‘lenses’ and stickers (like Gatorade’s campaign, mentioned earlier).
Lastly, you can team up with the brands on Snapchat Discover (typically media companies like National Geographic, CNN, and Buzzfeed who have a permanent presence on the app). You can then buy advertising space within their content.
The beauty of Snapchat is that it is still evolving and growing. Brands are currently experimenting, and there is a huge untapped potential.
Will it catch up with the enormous power of Facebook? Time will tell, but it’s definitely time to start building a presence there.
Are you using the app to promote your business? I’d love to hear how you’re using Snapchat to interact with your followers.

i remember sitting with a group of friends back in 2012 and downloading an early version of snapchat.
we laughed and deleted the app.
four years later, and snapchat are the ones who are laughing. their app is now worth a staggering $20 billion, they turned down an acquisition offer from facebook, and they’ve got more more users than twitter (100 million, to be precise).
that last one might surprise you: more users than twitter.
in fact, snapchat grew more in 2015 than twitter grew in four years. businesses are still pouring much more time and effort into promoting on twitter, when snapchat is actually bigger and more engaging.
is it time to start marketing your business on snapchat?
we’ll start this article with a few statistics that might just convince you. then we’ll take a look at some of the most successful snapchat campaigns, and – finally – i’ll explain some of the real, actionable ways you can use snapchat as part of your mobile marketing campaign.
for marketers and entrepreneurs, snapchat isn’t as simple as twitter, facebook or instagram. but those that dig deep enough and get the hang of it are richly rewarded.
snapchat videos are viewed more times than facebook videos (10 billion per day compared to facebook’s 8 billion).
these views are currently increasing 400% year on year.
adverts on snapchat are viewed 1 million times every day.
snapchat is growing faster than any other social media platform, ever. it’s already surpassing facebook and twitter statistics, and it hasn’t peaked yet.
60% of all smartphone users aged 13-34 use snapchat.
this year, the app replaced instagram as america’s second favorite social network (facebook is still way out in front).
snapchat is one of the very best ways to reach the hallowed millennial age group. these 18-34 year-olds are the most active sharers and promoters, and they spend a collective $600 billion every year.

Now you can learn to be green. IBM has developed a degree programme focused on green data centres to give computer science students the know-how to work in energy-efficient computer environments.
Big Blue has collaborated with Metropolitan Community College (MCC) in Nebraska, to create the curriculum for the institution's Data Center Management course track. IBM will provide hardware, software and online course materials to assist MCC in offering this degree programme. The course is expected to take two years.
A data centre on campus will serve as the classroom in which students can learn virtualisation and server consolidation, energy efficiency, business resiliency, and security and compliance skills as part of the degree program. The environment runs on IBM Power Systems servers running AIX, i and Linux technologies, according to IBM.
"Green has become essential to all IT organizations and this degree is designed to give students the skills they need to build more efficient data centers worldwide," said Mark Hanny, vice president of channels and alliances who runs IBM's Academic Initiative worldwide.
MCC made an ideal partner in this effort for IBM because its location "sits at an intersection of the fiber optic network running across the country" and several data centers have been located there - driving up the demand for IT professionals with such skills in the area, Hanny said.
"We're seeing a dramatic increase in demand here in Nebraska for specialists who understand how to help companies reduce the costs associated with running an energy-intensive data centre," said Tom Pensabene, dean of IT at MCC. "Now our students are getting exposure to leading-edge IBM technologies, increasing their changes of being hired for jobs in this growing area."
The courses offered as part of the 2-year, 36-course-hour Associates degree program include networking security, applied data centremanagement, building a secure environment, virtualization, remote access and monitoring, among several others. The curriculum also includes 16 pieces of courseware around green technology, much of which IBM provides free of charge online.
"The degree combines IT, data center and facilities management to prepare this generation of technical students with a mix of business and IT skills to a run a more energy-efficient data centre," Hanny sid.

Would you recommend Keynote Prototyping Master Class to a friend?
Thanks for posting this, Ankur. This link gives you a Product Hunt exclusive discount ($100 off) this week (till midnight Sunday) + $20 off Keynotopia UI templates.
@steven_rushing I just tried it and it seems to be working here. It's a popup video, so perhaps your ad blocker is disabling it.
@amirkhella Hmm strange. Checked out a couple computers and browsers earlier. Thanks for checking though. Definitely interested in purchasing!

text: Jonty Greer is an irresponsible, impoverished jobbing actor catapulted into the fraught mindset of a rich man by a lottery win. Certain that money can deliver happiness and change, he strives to give his fortune a social conscience by funding what he views as life-changing theatre workshops, initially to the young people of a small English seaside town. As insecure as he was ten years ago when he worked for The People Train Community Theatre, he summons support from his old acting buddies, Edward D'Amato and Caroline Fenton, persuading them to join him on his altruistic quest to heal and inspire the disenfranchised youth of the town and possibly, the whole world. Jonty is unprepared for the demands a vast amount of money put on him and the people around him, including the local council, the women in his life and an abused child attending the workshops. Can money alone mend the loneliness, austerity, damaged relationships and homelessness that he unwittingly uncovers? Will Jonty's win make him a better person? Or will he and the people his money attracts, remain the same? Jonty's Win is a sequel to Lyn Ferrand's first novel Pretending.

Thanks Kelly - it still seems unreal because he's so full of life. Only time will tell - we pray and work on it! Thanks for you thoughts!
Anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated. Betty is my first dog (she's 7 1/2) and I'm just blown away by all this. I'm not expecting miracles by any means, but I'd do just about anything if I can help her in some small way.
Love the photos of your dogs! The are beautiful babies. Such sweet faces.
