     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2011 was a big year for Rugby as the World Cup kicked off on September 9 from Auckland, and ended with the All Blacks coming away victorious, and winning the Web Ellis Cup Trophy.</p>

<p>It has been four months since the end of the World Cup, and six teams that got the opportunity to compete in the tournament will be kicking off the start of Live Six Nations Rugby this coming weekend. Ireland, France, England, Italy, Scotland and Wales were among the participating squads from September 9 thru October 23 in New Zealand, and each team will be playing in the 2012 Six Nations.</p>

<p>France enters this year&#39;s RBS 6 Nations event as one of the favorites, as the squad had a impressive showing at the Rugby World Cup. The team finished with a overall record of 4-2 with victories over Japan, Canada, Wales and England, but came up short in the finals, in a 8-7 loss to the New Zealand All Blacks.</p>

<p>Wales from a talent standpoint appears to be the biggest challenge to France, as in 2011 players such as Jonathan Davies, George North, Sam Warbuton and Toby Faletau were key contributors in the teams 4th place finish at the World Cup. Injuries though could be a deciding factor in the team&#39;s success as Matthew Rees, Gethin Jenkins, Rhys Priestland and Luke Charteris will be unable to play at the start of the tournament.</p>

<p>With a early schedule that was favorable, the team from England got off to a hot start at the World Cup, and started off 4-0 with wins over Argentina, Scotland, Georgia and Romania. England had a chance to advance to the Semi-Finals, but came up short in a 19-12 loss to France. One of the keys to success in International play are squads that are able to field teams with experience, which is one of the primary weaknesses for England this coming season.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Media exposure for a fitness business can enhance reputation, increase business and provide free advertising for personal trainers and fitness business owners. The key is gaining exposure first and then using that opportunity to focus on the positive in the <a href="http://johnspencerellis.com/how-to-do-a-media-interview-for-your-fitness-or-coaching-business/" target="_blank"  >fitness industry</a>.</p>

<p>In a new online interview, John Spencer Ellis, the founder of John Spencer Ellis Enterprises, a fitness and personal development solutions company, talks with fitness media interview expert Erik Rokeach about how to make the most of every media and interview opportunity for those in the fitness and personal training business.</p>

<p>In the free online video, Ellis and Rokeach talk about ways to get more media opportunities that can be used to grow a fitness business and brand as well as things to avoid in interviews. The duo also encourages personal trainers, coaches and other <a href="http://johnspencerellis.com/how-to-do-a-media-interview-for-your-fitness-or-coaching-business/" target="_blank"  >fitness pros</a> to be willing to take chances and to not be so afraid of failure.</p>

<p>&#39;Gaining media exposure for your coaching, fitness, personal training or wellness business is a great opportunity, but you must do it right!&#39; said Ellis. &#39;We get a lot of requests about successful media outreach in the fitness industry, so Erik and I wanted to put together this how-to guide to getting media interviews and then successfully growing your business with them.&#39;</p>

<p>In particular, Rokeach and Ellis discuss the necessity of having a unique hook or angle for the media interview, the importance of cadence and tone for TV or Internet interviews, authenticity and energy, making a few key points, strategic pauses, modeling, pacing and timing, and much more.</p>

<p>&#39;Everybody&#39;s got something to share or to teach,&#39; Rokeach added, while also encouraging a focus on connection and modeling the person who&#39;s interviewing to build overall rapport.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advertisers get more bang for their buck via online viral marketing than buying a $3 million 30-second TV ad during the Super Bowl according to a marketing expert at <a href="http://www.olin.wustl.edu/" target="_blank"  >Olin Business School</a>, Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> <br />And the new trend of pre-releasing Super Bowl commercials online before the big game is diminishing the value of the broadcast ads even more says Seethu Seetharaman.<br /> <br />&#39;Pre-releasing a teaser to a Super Bowl commercial certainly evokes interest for consumers to &#39;anticipate&#39; what is going to come on Super Bowl Sunday, thus improving the quality of ad consumption,&#39; says <a href="http://www.olin.wustl.edu/facultyandresearch/Faculty/Pages/FacultyDetail.aspx?username=seetharaman" target="_blank"  >Seethu Seetharaman</a>, the W. Patrick McGinnis Professor of Marketing at Olin Business School.<br /> <br />&#39;But the $3-million-dollar question is whether that Super Bowl commercial will lead to incremental buying,&#39; he says. &#39;Is there any significant return on investment for the $3 million spent? I doubt it.&#39;<br /> <br />The average cost for a 30-second spot during this year&#39;s Super Bowl is $3.5 million, with some time slots costing as much as $4 million.<br /> <br />With the <a href="http://www.olin.wustl.edu/News/Pages/NewsItem.aspx?SID=567" target="_blank"  >continuing trend toward viral commercial releases</a>, Seetharaman advocates companies reconsider traditional television ads and focus their efforts on the Internet, saving them millions of dollars in the process.<br /> <br />&#39;The return on investment for a viral ad is far greater, since it is much cheaper to get the commercial in front of viewers,&#39; he says. &#39;A viral campaign, at best, produces incremental sales at zero cost, and at worst, produces a lot of social conversation without any incremental sales, like a well-noticed Super Bowl ad would, but without a $3 million spend,&#39; he says.<br /> <br />Last year&#39;s Volkswagen ad with the child dressed up as Darth Vader has been viewed online more than 50 million times.<br /> <br />Seetharaman says a purely online viral ad campaign, without the actual television Super Bowl component, does not impose any prohibitive costs on a company.<br /> <br />&#39;Water cooler conversation does not a purchase make. Just because a company spends $3 million or more for a 30-second ad does not automatically increase purchase of their product. Viral videos are cheaper to produce and have a much longer shelf life.&#39;<br /> <br />The final purpose of the Super Bowl ad, Seetharaman says, is to stimulate sales, not to stimulate consumption of online videos.<br /> <br />&#39;Fifty million hits for the Darth Vader ad on YouTube, advertising awards etc., will only give cold comfort to VW if the YouTube hits do not end up selling more VW cars,&#39; he says.<br /> <br />&#39;Take the &#39;Will It Blend&#39; campaign from BlendTec, which was rolled out on YouTube. It not only reached online viewers running in to tens of millions, but more importantly, it increased BlendTec blender sales by 700 percent in the first few months of its rollout.<br /> <br />&#39;That is what an effective promotional campaign must do.&#39;</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152339 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=EDU">Education</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=HED">Higher Education</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Multimedia-Online-Internet/~4/21wnvn4c56k" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <title>Cloud security company iomart calls on UK Government to make Kitemark for Child Online Safety compulsory for public sector</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iomart Group plc, one of the UK&#39;s leading cloud and web services companies, is today calling on the UK Government to insist that all public sector organisations with a duty of care to children should only purchase software products that have been awarded the BSI Kitemark for Child Online Safety.</p>

<p>iomart Group&#39;s stance follows the announcement today (2nd February 2012) by the <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/science-and-technology-committee/news/120202-malware-rpt-published/" target="_blank"  >Science and Technology Select Committee</a>, that the UK Government should consider imposing safety standards on software sold  if self-regulation isn&#39;t adopted by the IT industry.</p>

<p>iomart&#39;s web security software <a href="http://www.netintelligence.com/" target="_blank"  >Netintelligence</a>, which provides internet protection for 100,000s of school children and families in the UK, is the first and only such software to carry the BSI <a href="http://www.kitemark.com/kitemark-4-u/for-parents/child-safety-online.php" target="_blank"  >Kitemark</a> for Child Online Safety. Netintelligence was awarded the Kitemark by Children and Families Minister Tim Loughton in January 2011. So far, no other UK software company has taken up the accreditation and the Government has not supported the Kitemark publicly.</p>

<p>The BSI Kitemark for Child Online Safety is a certification scheme for internet website filtering software produced by software manufacturers. These products can be bought as stand-alone products from computer retailers or come as part of an operating system or ISP package. The software&#39;s ease of use, reliability, and performance must meet the scheme&#39;s strict criteria.</p>

<p>Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart Group plc, said: &#39;Back in 2007, iomart along with the British Standards Institute, OFCOM, the Home Office, several major UK child safety organisations and other private sector companies spent a considerable amount of time working on the specifications required for PAS 74 (Access control systems for the protection of children online), which ultimately became the BSI Kitemark for Online Child Safety.</p>

<p>Rather than yet another clarion call for more action, the UK Government could make a bold stance now. It should insist that all public sector organisations with a duty of care towards protecting children online, for example schools and local authorities, should only purchase products that have been awarded the Kitemark. That way other commercial companies will have to follow the lead of Netintelligence and iomart Group to provide software and services that the public can trust.&#39;</p>

<p>iomart Group plc is ranked as one of the top web hosting companies in the world by HostReview and is Scottish Digital IT Company of the Year 2011. </p>

<p>CTO Bill Strain was recently named IT Leader of the Year 2011 by IT Pro.<br /> </p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Woodlands, TX - David Neuenschwander, vocalist, guitarist, and author of the popular online course Speedy Music Reading is publishing his first book next month.</p>

<p>Much like the course, the book will teach beginners <a href="http://www.speedymusicreading.com/how-to-read-music" target="_blank"  >How to Read Music</a> along with covering the basics of music theory. The book is scheduled to be released exclusively via Amazon&#39;s Kindle publish platform.</p>

<p>&#34;I&#39;m very excited about the opportunity to help more amateur musicians (or would be musicians) develop their skills and grow musically,&#34; says Neuenschwander. &#34;Writing a book just seemed to be the best way to reach the people who need help. Many musicians think <a href="http://www.speedymusicreading.com" target="_blank"  >reading music</a> is simply too difficult or takes too long to learn, but with the right approach it doesn&#39;t have to be. The book is my way of giving back to the musical community that&#39;s been so shaping for me.&#34;</p>

<p>Since 2009, Neuenschwander&#39;s course has helped over 3100 men, women and children <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi6SpOVOTkk" target="_blank"  >learn how to read music</a> online, but the release of this book marks the first opportunity for those offline to use his revolutionary system. The book is scheduled to be released March 5, 2012.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152257 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BKS">Books</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MUS">Music</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Multimedia-Online-Internet/~4/7Z5JU1ze8H8" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For almost any industry, networking is king. Over and over you&#39;ll hear top leaders say that &#34;it&#39;s not <span style="font-style: italic">&amp;#8203;what</span>&amp;#8203; you know, it&#39;s<span style="font-style: italic"> who</span> you know.&#39;</p>

<p>At the recent 2012 Traffic and Conversion Summit in Austin, there were over 800 top internet marketers in a room learning together. As a result, there was all kinds of networking going on.</p>

<p>Now, there are some networking fumbles that can potentially hurt your chances of making strong connections, and Kelly Tanguay  from <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/105541323739323699276/" target="_blank"  >Always Going Up</a>, a blog sharing &#34;Tested Tactics on Being Happy, Productive &amp; Successful&#34; offers her list of the <a href="http://alwaysgoingup.com/7-networking-mistakes-2012-traffic-summit-austin/" target="_blank"  >7 Deadliest Networking mistakes</a> that she witnessed.</p>

<p>According to Kelly, &#39;The only thing worse than <strong>not</strong>&amp;#8203; networking is networking in a way that will get you remembered for being rude, egotistic, and self-serving.&#39;</p>

<p>She received recent networking training from some industry leaders, and wanted to share that critical information with the world.</p>

<p>&#39;I actually saw a guy lose a free opportunity to get his brand new product promoted by a huge name in his industry, and it was all because he didn&#39;t pay for dinner. I hoped that by putting this list out there, I could help others avoid making these types of mistakes.&#39;</p>

<p>In addition to writing a report about the mistakes, Miss Tanguay also recorded a video on Youtube called <a href="http://youtu.be/Fokiy_AwPmQ" target="_blank"  >How to Network - 7 Deadliest Networking Mistakes</a>.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152246 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Multimedia-Online-Internet/~4/2s2LioZH6OE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#39;s a little-known fact, but in certain parts of the world today, human beings are being cut open while alive and their body parts removed and sold for profit. Most people would find this revelation to be shocking and, in fact, hard to believe in this day and age of so-called enlightenment in the modern society in which we like to imagine that we inhabit. However, in countries such as China and Colombia this practice is widespread and the helpless victims who lose their body parts unwillingly in this way have no recourse to justice. It is, in fact, a form of animal husbandry where human beings are cultivated, not as individuals, but, rather, for the essential parts of them, namely, in the main, their kidneys and livers<strong>.</strong><strong> </strong>A grim, black market trade in body parts is in operation and in some cases it&#39;s costing unsuspecting victims the ultimate price - their lives.</p>

<p>While such practices may induce horror and revulsion in the minds of most reasonable people, it is not an entirely new phenomenon. Two hundred years in Scotland, the infamous Burke and Hare plied their trade in Edinburgh&#39;s Old Town, murdering at least sixteen people and selling their bodies to the medical school of Dr. Robert Knox where they were dissected in order to teach medical students. At that time, the law forbade the dissection of bodies other than that of executed criminals and there were simply not enough bodies available to supply the ever-growing needs of the teaching schools who taught anatomy to aspiring doctors and surgeons.</p>

<p>Burke and Hare devised a ready solution to this problem in Edinburgh by simply murdering their victims and selling them to the anatomy school in a no-questions-asked deal. No-one was exempt from their murderous spree, including the elderly, prostitutes, the disabled and even children. When the villains were finally caught, the citizens of Edinburgh were horrified to discover the nefarious deeds which had been happening in their own city.</p>

<p>A Scottish media company, Orickle Limited, has produced a documentary recalling the dreadful crimes of Burke and Hare and the circumstances surrounding the events of their day. Leona Tyrie, producer of &#39;The Body Merchants: The Shocking Truth about Anatomy Murder&#39; explains, &#34;<span style="font-style: italic">Burke and Hare have down in history and in popular culture as grave robbers but, in fact, there is no evidence that they ever robbed a single grave, they preferred the easy route of murdering their victims in order to sell their bodies for dissection and easy profit. Most people would believe that those days are confined to the pages of history and that in this modern age those kinds of practices would be unthinkable. However, research on the subject would point to the fact that, unbelievably, vulnerable people in the world today are still being cut open and their organs are being harvested and sold for gain</span>.&#39;</p>

<p>Said Leona, &#39;<span style="font-style: italic">It&#39;s appalling to imagine that this is still going on in the world today and that most people are completely unaware of its existence. It ought to act as a real wake-up call to the world that the horrible days of Burke and Hare have never truly gone away</span>&#39;.</p>

     <title>David Beguin's Home Based Internet Marketing Business Joined The Empower Network 'Formula' In January 2012</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Beguin is pleased to announce that he recently teamed his home based internet marketing business with Empower Network, the upstart online marketing system that has set the blogging world on fire. After struggling for the past few years to find the right internet marketing system to partner with and move his company forward, David feels this system will be the wave of the future for internet marketers and it&#39;s so easy that anyone who can write could become a success using this system.</p>

<p>After starting with his home based business in the real estate investing arena, David&#39;s interest in internet marketing soon turned into his primary focus once he started taking note of the fact that so much of his real estate investing work revolved around the internet. After setting up his real estate investing business online to attract leads (potential sellers) and buyers, then to locating rehab contractors, developing and making offers, to working with his virtual assistants online on a daily basis, and on to the numerous online systems and programs that were needed to keep the leads and offers tracked and controlled, his interest in strictly online marketing was tweaked. David made a decision, took action, and moved right into starting his own home based internet marketing business.</p>

<p>David stated &#39;I&#39;ve been in the &#39;work-from-home&#39; internet marketing business for the past couple of years, yet no matter how much time I put into the business or money I&#39;ve spent on all the many products that purport to make us a success, I still had little that I could brag about, other than just a lot of work. There is a tremendous amount of products (e-books and software) and programs being offered on the internet that give the &#39;newbie&#39; marketer the impression that he or she can become wildly successful with little or no effort, even to the extent of only having to make one or two Clicks of a button.&#39; Unfortunately, he found this not to be the case for far too many times the set-up of the programs alone took a few days to get completed, with many calls to the support desk, when he could get through on the phone or after waiting a couple of days for the online response, if received. &#39;So many times the programs did not work as advertised,&#39; he said.</p>

<p>Empower Network has added a new degree of ease in earning income on the internet, with its blog-based platform, and 100% commission payout. &#39;What other program is out there that pays 100% commission. You bring in the sale and keep 100% of that sale. Period!&#39; It&#39;s so easy, he signed up his first member <span style="font-style: italic">before</span> he even placed a single ad, and started getting leads the day the first ad went out. He said, &#39;The Empower Network support team has been really great in responding promptly to my couple of support ticket requests, and the system is packed with training modules of audio recordings and videos, with interim videos coming out every few days from the founders of the program, all to help us become a success.&#39;</p>

<p>David&#39;s goal in joining his company with Empower Network is to &#39;get my message out to, and work with, current or new internet marketers who want to start their own home based internet marketing business or to further grow their current business, and at a rapid and steady rate.&#39;</p>

<p>David says, &#39;Success comes from replicating the success formula of others who have already gone before us, with adding our own ideas to the process to improve and provide even more value to future marketers. Substantiating ongoing successful marketing &#39;formulas&#39; is what allows me to be able to teach anyone - who is willing to put in the required time and effort - to become successful at internet marketing.&#39;</p>

<p>David Beguin is a Home Business Specialist eager to help anyone who is determined to learn how to earn on the internet. He provides his students with a top of the line, Best-In-Class training and learning experience using the most current and best training tools available. He is always willing to help any entrepreneur succeed in building an online business.</p>
