DENVER: Budget air carrier Frontier Airlines has hired MWW Group to be its AOR after a competitive review.
MWW will use an integrated communications program to raise awareness of Frontier's hubs in Denver, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Omaha, and its 70-plus destinations in the US, Mexico, and Costa Rica. The activity, which aims to raise the airline's social media presence, will include brand positioning, strategic messaging,...
Arthur said about 15 agencies pitched for the job, from which the pool was whittled down to a handful, including MWW; Turner PR in Denver; and Lindsay, Stone and Briggs in Madison, WI. Frontier signed a one-year contract with MWW in April.
“We'll be looking to create a strategy for Facebook and Twitter that is more robust—with greater frequency and more information,” said Kas Rigas, SVP at MWW. Reduced-fare sales will be among the topics handled.
Rigas said MWW would also reach out to local media in Frontier's hub cities and national media such as women's, men's, parenting and travel magazines.
Frontier, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airway Holdings, carries some 40,000 passengers a day and generates $1.8 billion in revenue annually. Republic also owns Chautauqua Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday called the recent firebombing of a North Carolina Republican Party office an act of "political terrorism," urging supporters to be vigilant from now until election day.
Pence visited the charred office space in Hillsborough, N.C., located in the suburbs of Durham, and spoke with local elected officials while campaigning in the battleground state.
"I'm here to call attention to an act of political terrorism," Pence said. "Everyone ... universally condemned this attack on our system" of government.

July 16 (UPI) -- Jason Momoa sits in the deep depths of the ocean in the first poster released for Warner Bros. and DC's upcoming underwater epic, Aquaman.
The poster, released Monday by the official Twitter account for the Aquaman film, features Momoa being surrounded by various sea creatures including sharks and killer whales while holding onto his signature trident.
The image comes before the first trailer for Aquaman is set to be debuted during the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
"Home is calling. #Aquaman - in theaters December 21. Watch the new trailer this Saturday," reads the caption.
The home is calling line refers to how Aquaman is a half-human, half-Atlantean who will be taking up a more permanent residence in Atlantis after living his life on land.
Aquaman, from director James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7), also stars Amber Heard as powerful Atlantean Mera, Patrick Wilson as Aquaman's half-brother Orm -- also known as the villainous Ocean Master, Abdul-Mateen II as signature antagonist Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Aquman's mother, Willem Dafoe as Aquaman's advi...
Could the Mother of Jesus have had a greater role in the mission, Passion, and Resurrection of her son than the evangelists tell us? Could women have been important church leaders in early Christianity?
The earliest complete biography of the Virgin, by the Byzantine theologian St. Maximus the Confessor (c. 580–662), takes such things for granted. After centuries of neglect, his seventh-century Life of the Virgin became available in a 1986 French translation by Michel van Esbroeck. Its effect is to radically change our...
Maximus portrays Mary as a lifelong companion in her son’s mission, a leader of the early Jewish-Christian church, and the source of many gospel stories about Jesus’ life. He has carefully constructed his material from canonical biblical texts and known apocryphal material, as well as from sources unknown to us, partic...
Maximus is hardly a household name among Western Catholics. An aristocrat from Constantinople who left the service of the Emperor Heraclius to become a monk, he created a bridge between East and West through his firm defense of the Chalcedonian decree that Christ had two wills, divine and human. Bitter wars over heresi...
The language Maximus uses in his Life of the Virgin recalls the elaborate praises of Mary in the poetic hymns of the sixth-century Romanos the Melodist, originally Syrian, but later a cantor of the Theotokos Church in Constantinople. At the opening of Maximus’s narrative biography (121 pages in the French translation),...
The biography begins with a record of Mary’s birth and childhood. It neatly combines material from the apocryphal Protevangelium of James with references to the canonical Gospels. Maximus insists that in using the former material he is following the example of great bishops—Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus, and A...
Mary’s perpetual virginity was not only universally accepted within Christianity at this time, but it had been confirmed over a century earlier at the Council of Chalcedon (451). In Byzantine eyes, it glorified the physical body and character of the woman who had made the mystery of Christianity possible.
What is most unusual in this Life is not just Mary’s close companionship with Jesus, but the leading role she and other women take in his mission. She constantly stands beside him, always understanding his messages. Joseph, portrayed in the Protevangelium as a widower with children when he married Mary, stays at home b...
Chief among the women working with “the holy Theotokos,” according to Maximus, was her good companion Mary of Magdala. Magdala’s extraordinary position and missionary travels made her an apostle who ultimately received the crown of martyrdom in Rome. As Peter was zealous among the men, says Maximus admiringly, so was s...
Most striking in this Life is Mary’s central presence throughout her son’s Passion, beginning at the Last Supper. Maximus says that she is in fact the source of most of the information in the Gospels about her son’s last day, the only person who remained with him at all times from his arrest to his Resurrection. She sa...
Lamenting first at a distance with Mary of Magdala and other women followers of Jesus, Mary holds out her hands and beats her breast. When the crowd finally disperses, she approaches the cross and speaks to her dying son. Their talk is filled with the intense emotion characteristic of late medieval Europe, unlike anyth...
Joseph and Mary place Jesus in the tomb and roll the stone before it, and eventually all the others leave Mary alone to pray, making her the first witness to the Resurrection. Recognizing that his account differs from the gospel stories, Maximus explains that this strategy was adopted by the apostles “so that no one wo...
Controversy regarding the first witnesses to the Resurrection was active in the early church. While the evangelists cited the myrrh-bearing women who came to the empty tomb, Paul reported that Jesus appeared first to Peter and the twelve apostles. These different traditions hardened in the following centuries, with tho...
Mary, says Maximus, “prescribed the fasting and prayer for the holy apostles until Pentecost.” He cites Acts 1:14 regarding her presence in the upper room at Pentecost, but adds something not found in Luke. When, afterward, Mary tries to travel with John (like the apostles), taking Mary of Magdala and other women, she ...
Living in Jerusalem, her mercy extends to strangers and to enemies, and the faith of many is fortified by her. She works hard till she is nearly eighty, when the Archangel Gabriel appears to her again. Handing her a palm, he announces her forthcoming death as he had announced her son’s birth. In response, completing th...
Mary’s biography continues, however, with a carefully composed synthesis of ancient accounts related to her Dormition. Some of these remind us that we have yet to fully face up to the frightening hostility to Jews that early on became a strong undercurrent in Christian tradition.
Although Maximus’s biography was influential among later Byzantine biographers of Mary, notably George of Nicomedia (end of the ninth century) and John the Geometrician (the tenth century), it was the much shorter biography by the late tenth-century Simeon the Metaphrast (“The Reteller”) that was passed on to the West....
As a layman in a setting populated with women, Simeon would have been aware of the potentially subversive nature of the material in Maximus’s Life and perhaps felt the need to trim it accordingly. His carefully edited version prevailed, dominant even in monasteries during the second millennium of Christianity. It becam...
Today the church would officially reject the tone of the legends about Jewish “impiety,” as well as women’s need to be virgins if they are to gain the human equality God desires. But we might well be receptive to a view of Mary as an active, competent woman carrying out her son’s mission of mercy in the world alongside...

Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss.
Bitcoin reached another new high on Sunday, crossing the threshold of a $11,826.76 a coin for the first time.
With the surge, the digital currency may also have produced its first billionaires, according to the Telegraph: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who are best known for suing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in 2008 over the claim that he stole the idea for the social network from them. They were awarded $65 million.
In 2013, the twins told the New York Times that they owned more than $11 million worth of bitcoin, making them the first well-known figures to divulge such a hefty stake in the speculative asset.
Bitcoin has grown exponentially since: Fortune reports that, when the Winklevosses first invested, the cryptocurrency was trading at $120 per coin, a far jump from the more than $11,000 it has reached today. That's an increase of over 9,000 percent.
Despite controversy surrounding the long-term implications of investing in bitcoin, the twins say they're committed to the digital currency. "We've never sold a bitcoin, we're in it for the long haul," Cameron told CNN Money in 2015.
"If Bitcoin is a better gold or seen as a type of gold-like asset, then it could be in the trillions on a market cap. We do feel those are very real possibilities," Tyler also told CNN Money.
The newly minted billionaires still have a long way to go to catch up to their former rival. As of Monday morning, Zuckerberg, one of the richest people in the world, is worth an estimated $72.2 billion.
WESTFIELDS lifted their first silverware of 2018/19 as they got their pre-season campaign underway with a 3-0 victory over Pegasus Juniors in the Dennis Hartland Memorial Trophy.
Fields, who have been in training for several weeks, took a 30th minute lead when Ben Hayes crossed onto the boot of Ben Miller to fire his side ahead.
The visitors were two goals ahead just after the hour through Keanu Cooper before Mark Magree was rewarded for his hard work by slotting home the third six minutes from time.
"We have done some very good training sessions and the lads went into the first pre-season game hungry to be back playing football," said manager Andy Bevan.
"It was nice to get the win as Pegasus have improved massively from the start of last season which is a credit to them. I was pleased with how we moved the ball and kept our tempo high."
Westfields will travel to English Bricknor on Wednesday night and will be facing some familiar faces at Cinderford Town on Saturday including striker Richard Greaves and goalkeeper Alex Harris.
Bevan's side host their first friendly against Tuffley Rovers on Tuesday (7.45pm).
"Cinderford will be pushing for the Southern League Division One this season so it is a chance to test ourselves," added Bevan.
"We have three games in a week so it will be a good test after pre-season and so the boys can get match fit."
Westfields have also signed former Lads Club youngster Lewis Fletcher following a trial at the club.

The maker of the OFF Pocket claims his metalized pouch can hide your phone’s signal from the NSA or anyone else, but is that better than just turning it off?
The OFF Pocket’s metalized fabric works by shielding the interior of the case from electromagnetic signals in the 800 megahertz to 2.4 gigahertz range, covering all cellular band frequencies. According to Harvey’s extensive field testing–and he’s had his OFF Pocket prototype and testing antenna in the Sony Building in ...
The OFF Pocket isn’t Harvey’s first foray into disruptive design solutions. In 2009, Harvey created CV Dazzle, an anti-face detection technology developed for his masters thesis at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. The product’s name was a nod to the monochrome, cubist-inspired “dazzle” camouflage used...

A National Rifle Association employee accidentally shot himself while doing firearms training at the organization's headquarters, according to police.
The 46-year-old man's pistol accidentally discharged Thursday afternoon as he holstered the gun in Fairfax County, Virginia, police said.
The accidental shooting happened at the NRA's National Firearms Museum at 11250 Waples Mill Road in Fairfax.
The employee suffered a minor wound to his lower body and was taken to a hospital for treatment, police said.
Officers worked with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office and no charges are expected, according to police.
News4 has reached out to the NRA for comment, but has not received an immediate response.
Neil J. Rubenking Total Defense Ultimate Internet Security Total Defense Ultimate Internet Security offers excellent protection for macOS and Android devices, both licensed from Bitdefender, along with less impressive protection for Windows.
Excellent macOS and Android protection. Very good phishing protection test score. Good malware protection scores. Includes 25GB hosted storage for backup.
No results from independent antivirus testing labs. Web protection disabled by default. Simple parental control is easily defeated. No option for local backup. Phishing protection less effective on macOS.
Total Defense Ultimate Internet Security offers excellent protection for macOS and Android devices, both licensed from Bitdefender, along with less impressive protection for Windows.
When a security company offers two levels of security suite, distinguishing entry-level from top-tier is important. Some add "Total" to the higher-level suites name. Others don't make things as clear—would you consider "Deluxe" or "Premium" to be the better option? Then there are those that cut to the chase, identifyin...
You pay $99.99 per year for 10 Total Defense licenses. As with Norton (which costs $10 more) you get 25GB of hosted storage for your online backups. BullGuard Premium Protection also offers 10 licenses for nearly the same price, and a McAfee subscription at the same price as Total Defense lets you install protection on...
The entry-level Total Defense Premium Internet Security costs $20 less, offers five licenses, and gives you 10GB of storage for your backups. I should point out that you can use these licenses to install protection on your Android and macOS devices, too. But when you start looking at many devices, a five-licenses limit...
On Windows, you won't see much difference between Premium and Ultimate. Both have the same dark background, white text, and bold-colored line-art icons. Both let you access major security components either by clicking large button panels or by selecting from a left-rail menu. The biggest difference is that a panel for ...
Total Defense takes the unusual step of omitting web protection from its basic Total Defense Essential Anti-Virus.

I'll summarize my review of the suite here; go read ...
Before every antivirus review, I check to see if test results are available from four independent labs: MRG-Effitas, SE Labs, AV-Comparatives, and AV-Test Institute. When product that gets high scores from multiple labs, that's a good sign that it's effective. Alas, no current results are available for Total Defense.
