- Easy setup
- Unlimited devices per account
- Disk image backup
- Bulk uploads and restores via mail
- Fast upload speeds in testing
- Excellent mobile app
- Only basic sharing options
- Storage isn't unlimited
- Files in synced folder slow to upload in testing
If you're in the market for an online backup service, you have to consider a service's pricing, backup features, performance, and ease of use. IDrive gets high marks across all these categories, and it still offers a good price-to-storage ratio too, despite a recent price increase. Our main gripe is that it lacks robust file-sharing features and that files in an IDrive-synced folder were slow to upload in our testing. Those complaints aside, IDrive is a terrific service and an Editors' Choice winner, alongside Acronis True Image.
How Much Does IDrive Cost?
IDrive's Personal tier costs $79.50 per year for 5TB of storage, which is a good value. IDrive frequently offers discounts for its plans, so you may be able to get more storage at a cheaper rate, depending on when you subscribe. The personal plan covers an unlimited number of devices, which is great for families and people who simply have lots of devices. IDrive is one of the few services we reviewed that offer a permanent and free 5GB account. OpenDrive has a comparable free plan.
IDrive's Team and Business plans add sub-account management and business compliance features. The Team and Business plans start at $99.50 per year and $199.50 per year, respectively. IDrive Team gets you 5TB for up to five computers or users, and IDrive Business allows unlimited users but limits storage to 250MB, with upgrades available for more.
If you only want to back up photos and videos from your smartphone, the company now offers IDrive Photos, at just $9.95 per year for unlimited online photo storage at full resolution.
Subscribers to any account except for the IDrive Photos plan can use the IDrive Express bulk backup service that enables you to back up or retrieve bulk data via a physical drive. Personal users get one free backup per year, while Team and Business users can request this service three times per year. Each subsequent use incurs a fee of $59.95. This service is particularly helpful in case a disaster leaves you without any other way to get to your data. Backblaze's similar service is completely free, assuming you return the hard drive in the same condition.
For comparison, Carbonite and Backblaze charge $71.99 and $60 per year, respectively, for unlimited storage plans—though those plans are for one computer each. Competing services such as Acronis True Image ($49.99 per year for 500GB) and SpiderOak One ($69 per year for 150GB) charge considerably more per gigabyte of storage. SpiderOak One does cover an unlimited number of devices, however.
IDrive is available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. You can also download IDrive on thin clients and Linux/Unix servers.
Getting Started With IDrive
To use the service, you first need to create an account and choose to either use a private encryption key or an IDrive-managed key (the default). The private-encryption-key option means you alone can access your backed-up files and that IDrive cannot decrypt your data even if compelled by law enforcement. If you tend to lose a password every now and then, the default option is likely best, since IDrive cannot help you recover a private key if you forget it. Using a password manager could help you here.
From IDrive's notification area icon, you can launch the full application, access settings, and manage the backup schedule. IDrive also integrates with File Explorer in Windows and Finder in macOS; it adds backup options to context menus.
We like the clear organization and relatively attractive design of IDrive's desktop application, and the use of color is much more consistent than it was formerly. SpiderOak One's look is still more sophisticated and consistent. That said, we did not encounter any issues with IDrive's UI: Navigating the interface is generally quick and painless.
At the top-right of the app window, there's a section with an account panel, but most of its links redirect you to the web portal. Below that, there's a universal search bar on the right and a module that shows the remaining storage for your account. The search tool works fine for finding files and file types such as Word documents or PDFs, for example. Down the right side, there are tabs for Backup, Restore, Scheduler, Sync, Server Backup, and Settings, with a Disk Image Backup button towards the bottom.
If you want to get in and out of IDrive quickly, the company now offers a simplified desktop client for Windows that strictly focuses on backing up and restoring data. This app works just fine, but it can't exist alongside the main app; you need to choose one or the other.
Security and Privacy
IDrive says it uses 256-bit AES to encrypt data locally, either with the key it sets or the private key you create. Your data remains encrypted during transmission, while at rest on the servers, and until you restore it.
IDrive supports email-based multifactor authentication for accessing its web and mobile apps, which we appreciate. We would like to see it offer app-based 2FA support, too.
IDrive's privacy policy states that it collects personal data you provide (such as your name, payment info, and address) and session records (such as the size of upload packets, session date and times, IP address, browser type, and device name). IDrive uses this information to improve and administer its service, personalize the experience, and communicate with users. IDrive says it does not "voluntarily share personally identifiable information with any third party without the user's express consent or unless compelled by applicable state and federal laws." However, you should note that IDrive will remove encryption from the files before providing them to law enforcement if your backup set is protected by an encryption key set by IDrive. IDrive is based in California and is thus subject to US laws.
Backing Up Your Data With IDrive
From the Backup tab, IDrive lets you select files and folders from a hierarchical file tree. It pre-populates the section with common user folders—Documents, Pictures, Music, and so on. Checkboxes next to each make it easy to specify individual items for a backup set on the local or web app.
By default, the service selects the IDrive cloud as your backup destination, but you can change that to the Local, Wi-Fi, and Express Device option (all one option with branching choices). A local device could be an external hard drive, for example. The Express Device option refers to the IDrive Express disk-mailing service for bulk uploads and restores.
Like Acronis True Image, IDrive also lets you back up your entire disk image. If you ever find your hard drive beyond repair, this option could be invaluable, as you can restore a previously working version of your system with the structure and OS intact.
IDrive distinguishes its backup schedule settings from its Continuous Data Protection option. You can choose to run your backup manually, on a daily schedule, or hourly. IDrive can notify you when the backup completes, too. The Continuous Data Protection option is in the Settings section. With this setting enabled, IDrive looks for updates to your files (smaller than 500MB) and uploads the changes after a specified amount of time (either in real time or every 10, 30, or 60 minutes). That brings IDrive up to par with SpiderOak One and Acronis True Image, which also offer truly continuous backup options.
If you need to free up some online storage space, the Archive cleanup tool (in the upper right-hand corner) checks for and deletes files stored in the cloud that you have removed from your local computer. Acronis True Image's similar tool approaches the archival task differently; it looks at particularly large files on your hard drive that you seldom use, uploads them to cloud storage, and then deletes the local copy.
The Sync tab enables you to create a shared folder that works similarly to a synced Dropbox or OneDrive folder on your hard drive. After you set a location for this folder, you can add any number of subfolders for instant backup and syncing. In testing, IDrive's synced folder took quite a while to upload a few text files but successfully retained past versions of them. SpiderOak's Hive folder works similarly as does, Livedrive's Briefcase feature.
(Editors' Note: Livedrive is owned by J2 Global, the parent company of PCMag's publisher, Ziff Davis.)
As for other options, a slider in the Settings section controls bandwidth usage and a View Logs button shows details of each task, both of which are helpful.
Restoring Data With IDrive
As with everything else in IDrive, the Restore tab is full of options. You can select the original backup device from a drop-down menu, move files directly to a new location, or restore them in place to your folder structure using checkboxes. Right-click on a file to view and restore any of its previous versions. We verified that IDrive saved several versions of a text file without issue.
IDrive's Snapshots shows you a historical timeline of your backup set and lets you recover files at any point along the timeline, should anything nefarious occur to your hard drive. This historical backup of data does not count towards your total backup limit. Although this could protect you from ransomware threats, Acronis True Image's dedicated ransomware protection (and all its otherActive Protection features) is better equipped for those scenarios.
IDrive archives the last 30 versions of files that you back up, so you'll still have access to your files forever, even if you delete them locally. SpiderOak One keeps an unlimited number of versions forever. OpenDrive keeps up to 99 versions of each file indefinitely. Backblaze keeps an unlimited number of versions for up to 30 days (though you can pay more to extend this retention period).
Other options on IDrive's Restore page include deleting files from backup, moving them to a trash area (from which they're recoverable), and a Share button that launches the web client, discussed in the next section.
Web Client and File Sharing
IDrive's web client has been slightly streamlined since our last review, and now the divide between the Dashboard (where you can remotely access the desktop app's preferences and features) and everything else is less jarring. A left-hand menu gives you access to backups from individual devices, syncing options, and sharing preferences. The interface is generally quick to navigate and looks consistent with the desktop app.
In the Cloud Backup section, you can browse all your device backups and download any files. IDrive enables you to share files by email, but the recipient must sign up for an IDrive account in order to view them. This is inconvenient, and we prefer the flexibility of SpiderOak's sharing features, which let you share public or password-protected links. IDrive does let you set edit permissions for shared files, but password-protected links are not an option.
Rounding out the list are options for submitting an IDrive Express order and managing your synced folders. You can manage all of your account and subscription settings from the drop-down menu in the upper right.
The Dashboard menu opens a completely different interface with impressive features for controlling devices remotely and setting local preferences. For example, if an account device is online, you can run backups and restores remotely from the web interface as well as set schedule and backup preferences for all your account devices at once. We verified that changes we made from the web interface took effect on the desktop app.
IDrive's Mobile App
IDrive's mobile apps for Android and iOS allow you to back up data from your mobile device and access synced files. We had no issues logging into IDrive's mobile app on a phone running Android 11. Upon logging in, IDrive presents you with a choice between the default service-managed encryption and the option to set up your own private encryption key. We didn't experience any performance issues when using the app, but it does not look as sleek as the desktop app or some competitors' mobile apps.
From the main screen, the app shows a large Backup icon with options for Timeline and Access and Restore at the bottom. Tapping anywhere on the background brings you the backup selection page for the device. Data available for backup includes Contacts, Photos, Videos, Calendar, SMS, Call Logs, Music, or Other files. Of course, you have to give IDrive the appropriate permissions, which is something we don't like to grant liberally. IDrive was quick to back up the contacts stored on our test phone.
The Timeline section simply arranges backed-up media in reverse chronological order. Zoolz Big Mind does facial (and subject) recognition, while Acronis' mobile apps can back up nearly all the same categories of data you have on your mobile device (save for music files). Previously, IDrive offered a People section with AI-based facial-recognition capabilities, but that is no longer available.
Access and Restore is where you can restore any data that you previously backed up from your mobile device. IDrive also gives you access to all of your account's synced content from any device.
Tap on the the left-hand menu to manage all the links and files you've shared, view offline downloads, control synced files, and access the settings. The settings are robust: You can change account details, view backup reports, implement a passcode lock, or set a battery saver limit. IDrive can also automatically back up your videos along with your photos at an upload quality you specify. Different categories of items can be set to automatically back up at a set time and day, too.
IDrive's Backup Speeds
PCMag uploads three distinct 1GB file sets to test online backup speeds. We time how long it takes the software to upload each of the file sets and then take the median of the results. We tested these backup services over a home Ethernet network connection (16Mbps upload). As we are working from home, we were unable to use PCMag's corporate testing network this year since we do not have access to our office due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our test device was running Windows 10 with a 256GB SSD and 32GB RAM. Your individual results may vary, however, because of differences in available computer resources and network bandwidth.
IDrive performed the best out of all the services we tested, with a median time of 12:29 (minutes:seconds). ElephantDrive was a close second, with a time of 12:44. IDrive was abound twice as quick as NovaBackup (22:14). Backup speed is not the most important factor you should consider when choosing an online backup service, but fast performance can make the process feel more seamless.
IDrive Photos
For those who just want to back up mobile photos and videos, a recently released related service called IDrive Photos ($9.95 per year) offers unlimited online storage for those media types. It's a worthy alternative to Google Photos, which stopped providing unlimited photo backup earlier this year. The Android and iOS apps for IDrive Photos are basically subsets of the full service's mobile apps discussed above.
After installing the app and allowing it access to your photo gallery, it quickly starts uploading the media to the cloud. You can filter by photos only or videos only and designate Favorites, but you don't get the face recognition or geographical organization of your collection offered by Apple Photos and Google Photos. But for the price, unlimited, full-resolution media storage is a bargain. You can also access the photos on the web or in the IDrive desktop app and share them via a link using the mobile OS's standard share panel.
A Drive to Succeed
IDrive does just about everything you need an online backup service to do—and more. Top features include disk image backups, folder syncing, and file sharing. IDrive is also priced competitively and performed best in our speed tests. For all this capability and value, IDrive earns our Editors' Choice award for the online backup category. Acronis True Image shares the honor for its combination of robust backup and security features.
If you prefer to keep your files out of the cloud, take a look at our roundups of the best local backup services and external hard drives.

Cassondra is a senior at Hemlock High School, class of 2013. Her easygoing personality made the session go by so quickly. She is contagiously sweet and outgoing… You can't not love her! And it was impossible to not to enjoy the photo shoot! This softball jock brought some serious glam to her session…her outfits and jewelry were to die for! P.S. We got through five different outfits/looks… FIVE! From the salon, through almost 2.5 hours of shooting (that's a good 4 hours total!) she was an exceptional subject. I got to document the whole process of hair and make up, and made an amazing before and after that is now featured in my Senior Magazine that any inquiring clients will get to flip through! I seriously could have photographed this girl for another couple of hours… we just literally ran out of daylight and had to stop. ): I have some great stuff in store for her at her ordering/viewing session (ahem… rep cards… *cough… video/slideshow… *cough). Anyway, give Cassondra some love here and on Facebook!
I will be doing her session share later this week once she's had a chance to see all the images… until then… Her Sneak Peek!

Just in time for Random Wednesday - bullets!
- I had a birthday.
- I got a promotion. Basically, same job, just more work and more money. And I'll be a supervisor once they replace my old position.
- Lorelei's almost potty-trained. It's taken a lot longer than I thought it would, but I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
- Sheep and Wool! Lorelei and I went to MDS&W on Saturday. I didn't buy much, but we did see a lot of sheep, caught a glimpse of a couple of bloggers, as well as Casey (who my friends claim had some tequila on him).
- I started a shawl that I had hoped to finish by last weekend. Yup - didn't make it. Getting close though. It's the Diamond Fantasy Shawl in Lisa Souza Sock! Merino, Violet's PInk Ribbon.
- I think I finished some socks. The Perfect Sweater is still "in progress" but I haven't touched it in at least a month.
- Lorelei and I are going to Disney in June. She's been in a Princess phase for months now, so I expect that she will totally love Disney.

Waves in viscoelastic media
Friday, June 30, 2017 - 11:20am - 12:10pm
Keller 3-180
I will explain ongoing work with my team (Tom Brown, Shukai Du, and Hasan Eruslu) on Finite Element simulation of elastic wave propagation in media that are modeled using a strain-to-stress relation that keeps track of the past evolution of the solid. The family of models I will discuss includes the classical (Zener) differential viscoelastic model, a fractional derivative version thereof, and combinations of the above with pure elastic behavior. The analysis will be presented using transfer function techniques, but I will explain how in some cases refined results can be found using techniques of semigroup theory.

Professor Sir Alec Nigel Broers
Head of Department 1992-1995
Alec Broers (now Sir Alec) began his career at Cambridge in King's College chapel where he sang his way into a choral scholarship at Gonville and Caius in 1960. He had already taken a first degree in Physics at Melbourne University in Australia, followed by a further year of studying electronics. He was a semi professional singer and was making a good business from constructing and selling hi-fis "at a time when people hardly knew what a hi-fi was".
He decided to come to Cambridge as it was then the Mecca for his passion, electronics, and had the added attraction of some fine choirs. "I had been tuning in to the King's College choir for as long as I could remember". Despite already having two first degrees from Melbourne, he was advised to enrol as an undergraduate before undertaking a PhD, which turned out to be "one of the best moves I ever made". He decided to take the Electrical Engineering Tripos and recalls spending most of his time singing (up to 20 hours a week) playing squash and sailing.

Is that just a summer storm I hear? Or is it shining glitter, screaming fans, and the clash of skates on Shriner's floor? Maybe both, since the Atlanta Roller Girls are bringing the heat for our June home bouts. First on our radar is a home game: Toxic Shocks vs Apocalypstix. Next on the forecast is a force blowing in from the east, as the Richland County Regulators visit from South Carolina to play our Jukes of Hazzard.
Bout 1: Toxic Shocks vs Apocalypstix
The Stix have been undefeated so far this season, winning both of their games against the Denim Demons and the Sake Tuyas- all that training in the Thunderdome makes for some highly skilled survivors. But the Shocks certainly aren't afraid of a little lightning- are they ready for their second win of the season? These two teams last played each other at 2016 Championships, where The Stix earned the win, upsetting the Shocks' undefeated season. Come watch these two teams fight it out: the Shocks are bringing the storm, but the Stix know better than anyone how to survive tough times.
Bout 2: Atlanta's Jukes of Hazzard vs. Richland County Regulators
The Jukes of Hazzard are a team of both battle-hardened vets and a crew of Atlanta's rising rookies. The Jukes are growing stronger with every game, striving to live up to the Atlanta Roller Girl title with stronger walls, jukier jammers, and synchronized strategic plays. This month, they're testing their skills against the Richland County Regulators, a small but tough team coming over from South Carolina, known for their endless endurance in a hard fight. Come cheer on the Jukes as they strive to score another Atlanta home victory.
The fun starts on Saturday, June 17th at 4 PM(doors open) at Yaarab Shrine in Midtown. Bout 1 is at 5, and Bout 2 starts at 7:30. Tickets are available online or at the door. BYOB (no glass, please), and come hungry- a few mouthwatering food trucks and vendors will be posted outside. Now's the time to join the Atlanta Roller Girls' storm!

I had the good fortune of hearing Henry Blodget, CEO of Business Insider, speak at last Tuesday night's Digital Investing class. Mr. Blodget shared stories about founding and building the company, explained the trends that Business Insider is capitalizing upon, and his thoughts on where the news media business is heading. A few weeks before that, he presented at the Digital Life Design Conference in Munich, and shared some insights that should be eye-opening for anyone whose business is affected by digitization (in other words, all of us). The slide deck is available here.
Because you probably don't have time to read through the entire deck, I wanted to synthesize some of the key themes and highlight some of the most compelling points.
The first and most obvious point is the growth of all things digital, and especially mobile- growth in smartphone sales, connected devices, etc. There are some surprising datapoints here- for instance, tablets are growing at the slowest rate since introduction (perhaps due to cannibalization from "phablets", the fastest-growing mobile category). Also, contrary to popular belief, the market dynamic is not just Apple vs Samsung- Chinese smartphone manufacturers now represent ~25% of worldwide sales.
Secondly, it is sometimes easy to mindlessly praise at the growth of technology, and overlook the "creative destruction" and decline of traditional media delivery vehicles. Print revenues for newspapers are significantly less than half of what they were at peak in 2005-2006, and the growth in the online businesses for newspapers has only made up a very small fraction of this difference. Uber and other digital businesses promise to provide the same level of disruption to other traditional industries.
Perhaps the most mind-blowing fact in this presentation is the absolute growth and domination of Google- it is now bringing in significantly more ad revenue itself than ALL newspapers and magazines in the US combined, and is roughly half the size of the ENTIRE global TV ad market. Wow. Additionally, Google is crushing it in terms of Chrome, Android, and YouTube market share in each respective market as well.
Similarly, according to Nielsen, Facebook reaches more people 18-24 than the four major TV networks. Netflix now has more subscribers in the US than HBO (though the release of the standalone HBO Go app may change that). It is inevitable that money will follow the eyeballs, and this represents a big threat to any traditional media companies who don't get directly into the digital distribution game themselves. However, a growth opportunity exists with the lines blurring around "primetime" TV, as people time shift their viewing and watch more on mobile devices. This effectively creates an 18/7 split, meaning that media companies can potentially monetize ads 18 hours a day due to increased consumer engagement- representing an increase in the inventory that they can deliver for advertisers.
Despite all of the positive trends and optimism regarding digital revolution, Blodget points to historical booms/bubbles as well as the inevitable busts that followed. He articulates that, based on capital flows and fundraising, we are in a boom but not quite a bubble like the late '90s (though I would argue we are pretty damn close- 2014 numbers weren't fully reflected on his charts, and those valuations are creeping towards late '90s levels).
Based on these charts, the average period from beginning of boom to bust appears to be around seven years. If you categorize the beginning of the current boom as beginning in 2009, that posits a bust occurring sometime in 2016.
Is the party over for these guys? I don't think so, but they might want to exercise those stock options before the end of the year…

employee orientation and office etiquette
A member of upper management sent me a copy of an article he'd read over the weekend about college graduates who are taking their first job and what they should keep in mind in terms of office etiquette. The article was about not being too loud, being brief and discreet when using a cell phone, not decorating their cube with things like posters of musicians (or other items that may make them look unprofessional), and other things of that nature (including a few peculiar ones like "don't eavesdrop" and "don't gossip"). The gist of the article was basically telling readers (new grads starting new jobs) that they're not in college anymore, that they're in a professional environment, and should act accordingly.
I should add here that we hire quite a few 'straight out of college employees' each year. Anyway, along with the article, this manager attached a message that he'd like to see "these sort of things get incorporated into [our] new employee orientation program." I intend to comply with his request, but I'm also concerned about how to present such information in a way that doesn't in fact make new hires feel like they are still in school (and I don't want to insult them). Frankly, I also feel like these are the type of behaviors that should be addressed if they show themselves (and that a preemptive discussion on them seems unnecessary).
Any ideas on how I might put this into our orientation training without getting things off on the wrong foot with new hires?
8 Comments sorted by Votes Date Added
Maybe you can send the info along with any "welcome to the company" info you send to new hires before their first day. We usually include a letter that tells them (in general terms) about the dress code, what time they're expected to arrive, what they should plan for lunch the first day (someone's going to take them out or where the cafeteria is, etc.), and a "map" that shows the layout of our offices. A separate sheet with the etiquette info could go into the packet. I think most new hires are happy to have info in advance.
I think this type of article would be offensive. If you've hired these people, you should have some level of confidence in them to be professional. If you really want to do something like this, maybe you can incorporate some type of brainstorming activity during orientation on workplace etiquitte, pet peeves, things like this so that your new hires are coming up with these types of unacceptable behaviors themselves instead.
Hope this helps!

If you are really between a rock and a hard place here--in other words, you don't want to insult new hires by preaching to them about office etiquette, but your boss is basically saying he/she wants you to--then why not try doing it with a little humor? On YouTube, for example, there are some very funny videos on office etiquette, including one where every "offendor" gets blind-side tackled by an "office linebacker"/football player. It's hysterical--see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9piqiV7xLg.
If you can't find something online that does the trick (though I suspect I only scratched the surface of office etiquette videos available online) try creating a short video with a few co-workers where one of the employees does a few 'over the top', obnoxious things like make and take disruptive cell phone calls and other inconsiderate, immature behavior. This way, you can plant the seed to them to be considerate of co-workers without coming across as if you're a babysitter listing what the "rules" are.
Also, just because I saw that you mentioned "office gossip", I did come across a (mostly) serious, brief video that seems like it was created for the purpose of discouraging office gossip. Up to you to decide whether its effective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUuKZF2L0mo
There is a new book, Do It Right! The New Book of Business Etiquette, that purports to help businesses end "etiquette ambiguity" that is making it difficult for employees, especially recent graduates, to know what proper workplace behavior is.
All the etiquette points are one-sentence long and unambiguous. They are grouped by behavioral situations.
Since this is a paperback, perhaps you can just hand a copy out to new hires.
johnny bravo, that is absolutely one of the funniest YouTube videos i have EVER seen!!!
Hey Johnny B, we need that guy over here! Got a job description for a workplace "enforcer"?
I'm Canadian (as you can see). Anyone know if the Hanson triplets need a job?
In their New Hire paperwork sent to employee, their should be an information sheet on "Professional Policies".

Justin Bieber has $25,000 'Family Guy' necklace
HollywoodNews.com: Justin Bieber apparently has quite a bit of money to spend however he finds fit, and he seems to want to spend it on jewelry.
Bieber reportedly recently purchased a $25,000 'Family Guy' inspired necklace, states TMZ. There are reportedly over 12 carats of diamonds and rubies on the necklace that he allegedly helped to design.
Jeweler Jason Arasheben reportedly worked with Bieber to create the Stewie pendant.
Do you think this is frivolous spending or not that bad?

its a little funny that we got a decent result, yet we dropped in the standings, which is still good enough for top three.
four points from three games is not bad, but it is a little below the pace required to pick up at least that third spot. historically, 16 points is needed.
next game on the road in jam rock. a schedule twist called confederations cup has jamaica playing mexico four days before they play USA. boy would a jamaica win be nice or what? and we will definately take a tie too.

What exactly is "grassroots" marketing? The chaps over at WordStream say that it's all to do with purposefully targeting a niche group of people with the intent of getting them to spread your message themselves. In other words, it's good old fashioned customer leveraging, with a marketing twist.
Grassroots marketing is powerful for many reasons. For starters, it usually works out as being a heck of a lot cheaper than traditional PPC marketing. But, unlike PPC, it also presents the opportunity to amplify existing social trends and actually give audiences what they want. Responsive brands are those that market in a way that directly provides value to their customers. Here are some examples.
Use Emotional Triggers
A great example of an emotional marketing campaign was recently provided by the budget airline company WestJet. As passengers were boarding a plane over the holiday season back to Toronto last year, the crew on the aircraft asked them what they'd like for Christmas. Thinking it was just a wish list, they wrote down what they wanted, not thinking any more of it.
Then, when they landed back home to their surprise many of the gifts that they had asked for on the wish list were waiting for them on the baggage carousel. Not only was it a great way for the company to target their niche market, but it also generated an intense emotional reaction on social media, with the video of the event attracting more than 33 million views.
Support A Good Cause
Another way businesses are looking to harness the emotions of their customers is through organizing events to raise money for good causes. Hosting an event is a great way to get local people to rally around charity or a good cause and get publicity for your business in the process. Visit here for more info. Events, however, need careful planning, especially when it comes to managing who is invited and who isn't.
Use Ambient Adverts
Ambient ads are striking because they are deployed in unusual settings. Often they are so powerful they can stop people in their tracks and get them to do a double take. One powerful example of this is provided by the company Kwik-Fit. Recently, they've started putting large hamster models at their front of their workshops. These hamster models are enormous, about the size of an elephant, and are startling when you first see them. Hamsters don't have much to do with servicing cars, but Kwik-Fit clearly feels that it is necessary to help them stand out from the competition.
The drawback of ambient advertising is the fact that it is so expensive. Giant hamster models don't come cheap. Neither do elaborate paint jobs on buses or giant public sculptures. The proponents of ambient adverts, however, swear by them.
Capitalize On Trending Topics
When Ebola first began spreading rapidly in the US in 2015, people started panicking. Most medical organizations didn't have a protocol in place and weren't able to give out any advice. The Emergency Nurses Association, however, had been keeping a handle on the Ebola crisis and stepped in with answers just as people were panicking that they had the symptoms. As a result, the outfit gained immediate recognition among patients.

In October 2018, Athan released a mid-term report on freedom of expression under the new government in co-operation with the Southeast Asian Press Alliance. The report documents incidents of violations of the freedom of expression, freedom of press and the right to peaceful assembly supported by individual case studies. It is based on findings from original research as well as statistics compiled by Athan.
Freedom of Expression
The report finds that the contagious and excessive use of article 66(d) of the Telecommunications Law started in the run-up to the 2015 elections. The law was then increasingly used to prosecute criticism and expression on social media. In 2017, following a push by civil society organisations, legal experts and activists, parliament amended the law. The amendment reduced the number of grounds to file a complaint, reduced the maxium prison term and banned third party plaintiffs from filing. However, the amendment remained superficial and fell short of CSO recommendations.
At the time of the report, Athan was aware of 150 cases filed under the Telecommunications Law. Eleven of those complaints were lodged under the previous government. However, the number increased under the subsequent, NLD-led government. Interestingly, NLD-led government saw the filing of 91 cases before and 48 cases after the amendment.
Athan analysed the cases' contents in order to see if the Telecommunications Law impeded free expression and found that 54% of cases pertained to freedom of expression issues while around 50% of the cases were filed in Yangon Region.
Further potential obstructions of free expression
Beyond the Telecommunications Law, the report also covers other controversial laws and events such as:
- the Law Protecting the Privacy and Security of Citizens, passed March 8th 2017;
- prior scrutiny of songs played during Thingyan celebrations in Yangon;
- social media monitoring by the government;
- a student charged for allegedly organizing an education dialogue;
- young Karenni charged for their protest against the erection of a statue of General Aung San in 2018;
- bans and lawsuits against several assemblies including interfaith prayer assemblies and poetry recitals;
- the charges of Dr. Aye Maung and Way Hin Aung with state defamation and high treason;
- the charges following the offensive criticism of State Councilor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi by a pro-military former columnist;
- a complaint filed against an activist for defamation after criticising their verdict;
- and human rights lawyer Dr. Khin Khin Kyaw, who defended students who had been protesting for educational reform, and Ko Than Htike charged themselves after they had publicly protested a procedural decision of the court.
Press Freedom
Athan found that there had been 44 journalists who faced trials and 28 complaints against the journalists under the then current government. Of all the complaints, government officials lodged seventeen, the Military lodged three and various other individuals lodged eight.
Article 66(d) not only features in the section on freedom of expression but also in the section on press freedom. Most cases against journalists had been filed under Article 66(d) of the Telecommunications Law. Other cases featured the Unlawful Association Law, the Burma Official Secrets Act, Section 500 and 505(b) of the Penal Code, the News Media Law, the Law Protecting the Privacy and Security of Citizens, the Myanmar Aircraft Act, the Export and Import Law and the Immigration Act.
Example cases
For instance, charges documented in the report include the cases of Ko Swe Win, the incumbent editor-in-chief of Myanmar Now Media, which required the defendant, a Yangon resident, to attend court hearings in Mandalay regularly; the case of Eleven Media vs Yangon Region's chief minister. Additional cases included:
- a columnist in Thanintharyi region charged by the regional government for a satire piece
- a journalist charged, eventually under article 68(a) of the Telecommunications Law. A third party had published a video report of his on Facebook against his and his employers' expressed instructions;
- a journalists' network pressured to move offices;
- a regional reporter in Mandalay region threatened after reporting on wood cutting factories in the region;
- two cases of journalists fired for their writing;
- MNTV ceasing to broadcast the BBC's Burmese programme because it used terms banned by Myanmar's government and lastly
- the case of two Reuters journalists arrested under the Official Secrets Act.
The full report is available as a download below.

What Is a Bailee Letter?
Follow Us:
A bailee letter is a communication used in real estate warehouse lending that notifies the recipient of mortgage or loan notes that a third party has a security interest in the notes. The letter allows interested investors to review the notes, while protecting the security holder's interest in the notes.
A note is a binding pledge to repay money loaned. If the money is not repaid, the note holder's recourse is foreclosure; however, if another party has a security interest in the note then that party has priority in foreclosure. The bailee letter notifies the potential purchaser how the security holder's interest may be released.

I was a thirteen-year-old kid, racing after my friends through the lounge of our Girls and Boys Club when pixies first sprinkled magic dust of Dungeons & Dragons in my hair. It wasn't my first glimpse into the lives of elves, dwarfs and halflings, but it was the first time an entire world was exposed. Until then I had thought these creatures lived amongst us, hiding in the shadows of the forest, deep in forgotten caves and in rock structures invisible to the human eye.
On that summer's day, about a dozen kids were seated at tables with pieces of paper in front them, facing a man who sat at his own small table filled with books, charts and odd-looking dice. I briefly stopped to ask about what the stranger to the neighbourhood was directing.
"Dungeons and Dragons," said my older brother, sitting at one of the tables.
"What's that?" I said, having never heard of it before.
A quick explanation was given and then the stranger who was playing the role of Dungeon Master asked if I wanted to play. I didn't because I was having too much fun doing whatever else I was doing. So I went off with my friends.
That quirky stranger – Peter Mortimer – was at The Club the following Monday morning and that's when I learnt he was the new director. Not long after his arrival, he began offering his D&D game to club members. All we had to do was show up on Friday night at seven and we could play for free until nine-thirty.
It didn't take long for Peter to gather a motley crew dedicated to participating in his wild and most unusual adventures. The weak of heart and non-believers came and quickly left, unable to grasp the magic that left many of us spellbound until the next week's quest.
Our little group of about ten addicted participants began to take form. There were leaders and map makers (me) and fighters and magic-users and thieves (me again). We learnt each other's weaknesses and strengths. We began to depend on each other and make decisions that were best for the group instead of the individual.
Away from the game, we studied the handbooks and discovered which spells and potions were useful, which monsters and other creatures to avoid and which class of character suited our personality. Eventually, we settled into a groove and when someone's character died, it was common to recreate a character in the same race. It was as if the race and profession chose us, not the other way around.
Personally, I turned out to be a halfling thief. My name for my longest-living character was Durania (a combination of my favourite band at the time — Duran Duran — and my name). I was map-maker, sometimes a spokesperson for the group and often the one who could pick a lock into any castle.
The Dungeon Master ruled the game. If there was a better one in the world, I didn't know him. Ours kept us busy, kept us on our toes and kept us laughing, raising our brows or shaking our heads. We loved him.
For several years every Friday night, we gathered in the Arts and Craft room of The Club to play my favourite game. For two and a half hours each week we became someone else, wielding swords, casting spells and talking our way out of more fixes than we could ever imagine in real life. We channelled our energy into a positive pastime and for me, it ignited a passion for fantasy that still burns today.
Sadly, we lost our Dungeon Master when his assignment at The Club ended and he moved on to fill another position in a magic land elsewhere. He was missed by many, but mostly by the gang he had transformed from a bunch of unruly kids to an adventure group called The Warriors who thirsted to be transported into a fantastic world of his and our making.

This article provides an interesting interpretation of magnificent windows that are to be found in various churches, including King's College, Cambridge. Henry VI, Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII had a royal hand in these masterpieces.
Henry VII, of course, went overboard with all his heraldic symbols, and at King's College (see illustration above) he had all the usual Tudor badges on display, to which he added the hawthorn tree in which Richard III's crown was supposedly found. Looking at the illustration, I suppose the greenery on the left depicts said hawthorn tree. Unless the hawthorn is in the part of the window that is not shown.

To increase the odds of landing grants and scholarships, Doug Hewitt, co-author of "Free College Resource Book," advises students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and then focus on local prizes.
"There are more scholarships you'll qualify for in your home state than nationally," says Hewitt. "Look at local organizations and talk to your high school (guidance) counselor."
And remember to start your search early. You won't be the only person wondering how to go to college for free and scholarships can be limited to a first come, first served basis. You should also keep in mind that you don't need to wait for your senior year to start hunting for scholarships. There are grants and awards available at all high school grade levels.
2. Give service to your countryThe U.S. Coast Guard, Air Force, Military (West Point), Merchant Marine and Naval academies offer free college opportunities to students who serve after college, but cash is also available through ROTC programs closer to home.
Service requirements for ROTC programs vary, but all require students to complete military training on campus and commit to up to 12 years, depending on the branch of service. Students leave with training, a guaranteed job and opportunities for more free education.
AmeriCorps, a national service organization that offers education awards in exchange for community work, provides an award of up to $5,730 for each full year of service. Maximum years of service vary among AmeriCorps programs. Members also receive a living stipend while serving in the program.
3. Work for the schoolSchools charge students tuition, but their employees often can get a free education. "This is a great option, especially for older students with job experience," says Reyna Gobel, author of "CliffsNotes Graduation Debt." "If you're 18, you might not qualify for a job that provides (tuition) benefits."
Schools typically provide benefits for full-time workers and sometimes require a certain level of experience, Gobel says. Future students can find out about their school's policy by calling the admissions office.
4. Waive your costsSome students can get a free pass based on academic performance or other factors.
The North American Council on Adoptable Children in St. Paul, Minnesota, reports that Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Maine, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and Maryland offer waivers at certain public schools for adopted and foster care children.
Other schools offer waivers for Native American students, senior citizens and dislocated workers. To find out what your school offers, call the financial aid office.
5. Become an apprenticeAn apprenticeship is another solid option when you're determining how to get free tuition. They can also open you up to job opportunities post-college.
Overall, your average apprenticeship program will take 1-6 years. You will probably be required to put in that time along with at least 2,000 hours of field work annually. The good news is that there are apprenticeships in more than 1,000 occupations, which can give you more options.
In exchange, the sponsoring employer pays for college or technical training and provides a salary. A list of available programs is available at the ApprenticeshipUSA website.
6. Have your employer pick up the costsAnother way you might receive a free college education is through your employer. Often given in the form of an employee reimbursement, there are plenty of employers that can help curb the cost of higher education.
7. Be in demandAnother great way to find out how to go to college for free is to determine if your field of study is "high-needs." Will your studies result in a career that's high in demand? Ask yourself this before you even enroll if you're trying to cut the cost of college.
Generally, schools will offer incentives to anyone focusing their studies on math, science, nursing, teaching, and social work. There are also additional opportunities available through organizations like Teach for America, the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program and the National Institutes of Health.
The nursing program at the University of Portland in Oregon has offered scholarships covering approximately 80% of the final 2 years of undergraduate study, if students sign a 3-year employment contract with the local health system, Fabriquer says. "There are similar programs in (high-needs) fields across the country," he adds.

What lights up the Flame Nebula? Fifteen hundred light years away towards the constellation of Orion lies a nebula which, from its glow and dark dust lanes, appears, on the left, like a billowing fire. But fire, the rapid acquisition of oxygen, is not what makes this Flame glow. Rather the bright star Alnitak, the easternmost star in the Belt of Orion visible just to the right of the nebula, shines energetic light into the Flame that knocks electrons away from the great clouds of hydrogen gas that reside there. Much of the glow results when the electrons and ionized hydrogen recombine. The above false-color picture of the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) was taken is a composite of both visible and infrared light, the later energy band being where a young star cluster becomes visible. The Flame Nebula is part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, a star-forming region that includes the famous Horsehead Nebula.
One of the brightest galaxies in planet Earth's sky and similar in size to the Milky Way, big, beautiful spiral M81 lies 11.8 million light-years away in the northern constellation Ursa Major. This deep image of the region reveals details in the bright yellow core, but at the same time follows fainter features along the galaxy's gorgeous blue spiral arms and sweeping dust lanes. It also follows the expansive, arcing feature, known as Arp's loop, that seems to rise from the galaxy's disk at the right. Studied in the 1960s, Arp's loop has been thought to be a tidal tail, material pulled out of M81 by gravitational interaction with its large neighboring galaxy M82. But a recent investigation demonstrates that much of Arp's loop likely lies within our own galaxy. The loop's colors in visible and infrared light match the colors of pervasive clouds of dust, relatively unexplored galactic cirrus only a few hundred light-years above the plane of the Milky Way. Along with the Milky Way's stars, the dust clouds lie in the foreground of this remarkable view. M81's dwarf companion galaxy, Holmberg IX, can be seen just above and left of the large spiral. On the sky, this image spans about 0.5 degrees, about the size of the Full Moon.
When did galaxies form? To help find out, the deepest near-infrared image of the sky ever has been taken of the same field as the optical-light Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) in 2004. The new image was taken this summer by the newly installed Wide Field Camera 3 on the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope. Faint red smudges identified on the above image likely surpass redshift 8 in distance. These galaxies therefore likely existed when the universe was only a few percent of its present age, and may well be members of the first class of galaxies. Some large modern galaxies make a colorful foreground to the distant galaxies. Analyses by the HUDF09 team indicate that at least some of these early galaxies had very little interstellar dust. This early class of low luminosity galaxies likely contained energetic stars emitting light that transformed much of the remaining normal matter in the universe from a cold gas to a hot ionized plasma.

Updated: Swimmer dies in Rib Mountain pond
RIB MOUNTAIN -- A man died while swimming in a private pond late Saturday afternoon, police say.
Deputies from the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, the Marathon County Dive Team and the South Area Fire and Emergency Response District responded to a 911 call that came in around 3:30 p.m., said Marathon County Sheriff Lt. Ryan Weber.
The man, who was in his mid-40s, was in a small pond on private property located on Goldenrod Road, just west of Highway KK in Rib Mountain, Weber said. The caller said the man was seen swimming, then he was gone. The pond, which has a small beach, is about an acre in size and about 15 feet deep at its deepest, Weber said.
Crews in boats and divers searched for the man. His body was found at about 5:45 p.m. Weber said the man's name is not being released until his family is notified. He did not know whether the man lived at the home on the property.
Emergency crews believe the man drowned, Weber said, but an autopsy will be performed Sunday to determine the cause of death.

Designing and setting up a child's bedroom is all about accommodating their needs and finding the right theme that appeals to both them and you. With a little creativity and some elbow grease, you can transform your child's room into a bright and comfortable living space.
Theme #1 - Bold and Beautiful
Set the tone of the room with graphic bedding instead of princesses and planes. Graphic bedding is very popular right now and also allows more longevity for your child as they grow older. Want to take it one step further? Try geometric wall paper in black and white. If that is too much you can choose just one area or small space as an accent. Last but not least, keep them organized by using chalk board paint on a small wall or on a piece of furniture. Chalk board paint is a fun touch that serves a purpose.
Theme #2 - Creative Commons
Inspire creativity by being creative yourself. Include bright and cheery colors like lime green or aqua blue. Provide a space for your child to be creative and to become an artist. Have a desk filled with art supplies and creative supplies. You can even hang mason jars from the bottom of a shelf to help organize small craft supplies. The sky is the limit!
Theme #3 - Comfy Cozy Corner
Create a special place for your child by making them feel comfy cozy. Layer their bed with fun colors, patterns and lots of pillow. The more pillow the better. You can even mix patterns and colors as long as they are soft and plush. Create a book nook that is great for reading and relaxing. Try picture shelves to display books and make them easy to reach. Take it a step further and add a nook in the wall in encompass their bed or even provide a quite reading space. Once you are done with this room your child may never want to leave.
If the kids room needs more than just redecorating, contact your local Mr. Handyman by calling 877-256-3376 or request service in your area.

Mental illness in the workplace is costing UK employers around £30 billion each year. Stress, depression and anxiety are approximately responsible for 91 million lost working days each year.
I'm also aware that only 7% of people with schizophrenia, like me, are in employment – including voluntary positions!
Analysts have established that £8.4 billion each year is lost by businesses due to mental illness, plus another £15.1 billion in reduced productivity. A further £2.4 billion is lost replacing staff who leave work because of mental health.
I'm always surprised that employers don't make it a priority to promote positive mental health at work.
As a full-time fashion writer at John Lewis' head office in London, I received very little in the way of support for my mental health, despite that it was always and increasingly apparent that I did suffer from a severe mental illness. Emails I sent to occupational therapy were often ignored. It was different when I sprained my ankle and I received an hour of rehabilitation.
One big barrier to support is stigma, despite that it's now well-known that one in four of us will suffer from mental illness at some point in our lives.
Causation of mental health problems often takes place in childhood and are often beyond the control of employers. But there are many ways in which employers can help:
◻ Flexible work patterns allow an employee to take time off when needed. For me, starting later and finishing later means there's no problem if it's hard to get out of bed.
◻ Line managers can be supportive by listening to concerns and monitoring workloads to ensure variety and to safeguard against excess stress!
◻ Specialist mental wellbeing helplines (such as LawCare) make listening and and impartial, trained ear accessible and confidential.
◻ Business owners can create a quiet space for employees should they need to talk or take some space.
◻ Google use the Headspace app for their employees with success. "Using Headspace regularly has reduced the turbulence in my life, so a typical day seems to go just that bit smoother. In the workplace, Headspace can be used both proactively to set people up for the day ahead and reactively at any point to meet the day's challenges. It's reassuring to know people have a tool they can go to whenever needed." states one employee.
What was your primary goal when setting up Medfed?
Medfed was conceived in 2009, after a spell hospitalised with paranoid schizophrenia. So much had gone wrong in my life and I felt things were only going to get worse post-hospital. So, I decided to do something positive and began painting with bright colours and glitter. I made tongue in cheek outfits and objects to turn insults and bad vibes to my advantage and into wearable art for myself and to decorate my home. From here, I decided to call this collection 'Medfed' and keep going with it. It's inspired by a cool Japanese-based fashion label called Milkfed, the difference is I'm on medication…
Do you think there is a move in a positive direction in the perception of Mental Health in media?
Overall yes, but I think there is some way to go with psychosis and schizophrenia as these are labels that get bad press, still. It'd be nice to see more successful faces with the label and I'm sure they're out there. We need more Elyn Saks and perhaps also more people with schizophrenia who do more than just mental health campaigning.
How do you prepare for speaking engagements?
I usually start with online research into the organisation or company I am speaking too. It's also nice to have a talk with the booker about my audience. My story is a colourful one and I also studied at Chelsea College of Art so more often than not, I use fine and contemporary art to illustrate key feelings, emotions and situations.
Who or what inspires you most?
As a journalist, I think other people's stories inspire me a lot. Also, I'm eternally inspired by the arts and how they can represent our beautiful struggle. I find some of my most inspiring moments while reading a book or in a gallery, when the artist conveys in one line, or a brushstroke, a feeling that's lay dormant in me for some time.
What three tips would you give someone working on a freelance basis?
Freelancing (or freestyling as I call it) is a little like applying for several jobs a day and sometimes getting nothing back. I often feel like I couldn't solicit a moth to a flame, let alone a commissioning email from an editor. Keep going! Journal your successes and refer to them in moments of self-doubt. It can be a slog but the work-life balance it can afford you more than makes up for the inevitable daily rejection.

The next lush, romantic novel in the Regency romance series, The Rakes of St. James, from New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey!
There may be times when a gentleman is desperate to gain a lady's attention, but a gentleman would never resort to desperate measures to obtain it.
—A Proper Gentleman's Guide to Wooing the Perfect Lady
Sloane Knox, the Duke of Hawksthorn is guardian for his sweet, younger sister. Due to his misguided past as one of the infamous Rakes of St James, Hawk is hoping to avoid the Season by securing a match for her before it begins. He has the perfect gentleman in mind, but for one infuriating—and unexpectedly intoxicating—obstacle: the intended groom's own sister, Miss Loretta Quick.
Having narrowly avoided her own arranged marriage to an unacceptable nobleman, Loretta is determined that her dear brother—a gentle, good-natured soul—should marry for love. Matching wits with Hawk may be her greatest challenge yet. . .until she realizes it may also be her greatest pleasure. For the young duke's irresistible charm has not only begun to crumble her stubborn resolve, it has claimed her heart in true love as well in To the Duke, With Love.
This one was like 2 love stories in one book. Though Hawk was looking for a marriage match for his sister he ends up finding one for himself as well as saving Loretta from the lifetime of loneliness that awaits her. I don't know what it is about these St. James Rakes, whether its the book that caused them to become the Rakes of St. James or how each of the Rakes themselves are is a mystery to me. But I look forward to find out what happens with the last one of the Rakes.
