Americans are put on watch lists all the time, which brings increased scrutiny of communications, increased surveillance and, when traveling out of the country, often problems getting your passport cleared across international borders without intense questioning. But how do you know if you’ve done something to raise the government’s suspicions about your activity? Am I on a watch list just for writing this article? Are you for reading it? How would we know? It’s a secret. |
The principles of transparency and checks and balances the U.S. government is founded on demand that citizens be informed about these kinds of government activities. Whether you view Snowden as a hero or a traitor, as he says, now you know what your government is doing in our name. Do you care? Does it bother you? We should be allowed to have this debate and make an informed decision one way or the other. |
In the meantime, John Oliver and his team of brillant writers have distilled the argument down to this: Do you want the government to have a picture of you naked? |
We recreated and rebranded their old website to portray their new service offerings and also to build them an automated way for new prospects to book a demo for their software. |
Their clients could also activate new services within their Spiralsoft dashboard and the whole service activation had to happen automatically, in other words, no manual set ups. |
We funnel stacked two funnels for our client, but before stacking them we needed to build them. |
Step 1: New prospect arrives on the clients website, prospect books a demo for the software online, by filling out their details on the form (Step 2), books the time and call for their demo (Step 3) right there and then they received an automated email confirming their booking (Step 4). This added the prospect to their email database which they could use to then nurture the client even further. |
This was set up to be all automated, without our client lifting a finger. |
The next funnel we stacked on top of the previously mentioned Book a Demo funnel is their Upgrade System Funnel. |
Current Spiralsoft customers would receive an email (Step 1) to notify them of a new system upgrade they needed to book for their retail store's point of sale system. |
Clients would be redirected to fill out the information for their branch (Step 2), then they would select the amount of devices that needed upgrading to allocate the correct time slot for their booking (Step 3). |
From there, their upgraded client received an automated email confirming their booking. Spiralsoft received a confirmation too. |
All automated, without our client lifting a finger. |
We crafted a social media strategy for 3 months for our client, Spiralsoft, where we introduced their product and services to a wider audience. We introduced their team and made it easy for people to connect. We are currently in the build out phase for their new cloud based application which will entail a new social strategy. |
Two new courses were created for our client to train their clients. |
We developed and designed a Beginner Training Course as well as an Intermediate Training Course. |
An Intermediate Training Manual was also developed, a full comprehensive guide to their software but trainees could also receive certification within their company to use the Spiralsoft Advantage Point of Sale system. |

A group called American Humane says a leaked video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage." |
American Humane, the group responsible for overseeing animal safety on film sets, has cleared the movie “A Dog’s Purpose” of allegations of animal cruelty. |
Controversy erupted after a behind-the-scenes clip, which appeared to show a German Shepherd forced into rushing water, leaked in January. |
An independent, third-party investigation conducted by a respected animal cruelty expert into the treatment of animals in the filming of “A Dog’s Purpose” concluded that an edited video given to the gossip site TMZ mischaracterized the events on the set. The decisions by the individual or individuals who captured and deliberately edited the footage, and then waited longer than 15 months to release the manipulated video only days before the movie’s premiere, raise serious questions about their motives and ethics. |
The video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage,” the company said, noting that the clip features two scenes that were filmed at different times. |
The findings are consistent with what the film’s animal trainers said all along. |
Despite the controversy (and some poor reviews) the film still managed to debut at No. 2 at the box office with $18.4 million in its opening weekend. |
2010 marked the first time the majority of the world’s population was living in urban areas (52%), up from 47% in 2000. The global share of population living in urban areas is projected to increase to two-thirds by 2050. |
In 1990, the nation’s population was heavily urban (78%). By 2010, more than four of every five U.S. residents was living in an urban area. In some states, such as California (95%) and New Jersey (94.7%), nearly all of the state’s population resides in urban areas. |
North Carolina has a significantly smaller share of its population living in urban areas than the national average, but has increasingly urbanized over the past two decades. In 2010, two of every three North Carolina residents was living in an urban area, up from 60% in 2000. |
Among North Carolina’s 100 counties, only 8 are as urbanized (or more) as the nation. Mecklenburg is the most urbanized county: 99% of Mecklenburg’s population lives in an urban area and 86% of the land area was classified as urban in 2010. Among the other 10 most urban counties in the state, only New Hanover, Wake, and Forsyth have more than half of their land area classified as urban. |
In 2010, North Carolina had the second largest rural population (3.2 million) after Texas (3.8 million). Fourteen counties in the state have no urban areas at all. They contained 191,000 residents—2% of the state’s population—in 2010. |
Nationwide, there are 486 urbanized areas and 3,087 urban clusters. The population classified as urban includes all individuals living in urbanized areas and urban clusters. |

With over 4 decades of professional experience as an Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Record Producer, General Practitioner and Professional in the Medical and Healthcare industries, Dr. Edelsten has certainly proven himself as an accomplished professional and expert in many fields. As a dynamic results-driven leader, Dr. Edelsten has demonstrated success not only as a general practitioner but also as a successful entrepreneur who launched “Gene E”, a company offering paternity testing by mail order; he founded Allied Medical Group in 2005 and was also the first private franchisee of a major Australian Football Team, the Sydney Swans Football Club in 1985. By 2010 Allied Medical Group had administered over 27 medical centers and employed over 250 general practitioners. The clinics offered extended opening hours and bulk-billing for patients to Medicare for most services so that the patient incurred no direct cost.

Dr. Edelsten obtained a private pilot’s license in order to provide medical services to remote communities-often at no cost to patients when they could not pay. In 1971 Dr. Edelsten and a colleague, Tom Wenkart, launched Preventicare, a Sydney-based company providing diagnostic tests and computerized history-taking for doctors throughout Australia, using new equipment from the US which quickly took off. Dr. Edelsten and his colleagues established 8 practices in the Sydney area, and performed obstetrics at 3 Western Sydney hospitals. In 1984 Dr. Edelsten began to run innovative and multi-disciplinary 24 hour medical clinics which were the forerunners of modern corporate medical practices. These clinics were the first in Australia to bulk-bill patients to Medicare so that they incurred no direct cost. Within 4 months of opening, the first clinic had 2000 patients every week and Dr. Edelsten grew to owning 13 medical centers where 20,000 patients consulted 200 doctors every week. |
Looking back, Dr. Edelsten attributes his success to his perseverance, learning from his mistakes he has made along the way and from never letting anyone discourage him from his goals. Dr. Edelsten feels this is just the beginning. When he is not working Dr. Edelsten enjoys music, travelling, flying, enjoying the arts and living life to its fullest. |
For the future, Dr. Edelsten will continue to grow as an entrepreneur and hope to continue making a difference in people’s lives anyway that he can. |

Ferry's, I also had several Anglia's. Apparently none of the Australian delivered Anglia's were available with a heater. I have seen one with a heater that was imported from South Africa. Apparently back then, the poms thought it was so hot in Australia, we wouldn't need it! |
Sorry guys, looks like the links are not straight clicks, for some reason. You might have to copy the link into your browser address bar. |
G'day all. Still struggling electrically with the back end of my car. Am on the hunt for a reverse light switch, for my 60 B. It is the one that screws in the side of my transmission. Have troubleshot, and discovered this bad boy is no good. I am unsure if the switch is the same as used on VW's of the era, or if I have to source overseas. If anyone has a local supplier, would love to hear about it. Thanks, Marc. |
Thanks for the link, but this is just the standard "Euro" Light. The Australian/Italian one has the amber, and red parts of the lenses swapped around, with a dual filament socket for the red. |
G'day from WA. I need some help or assistance in sourcing a pair of "Australian/Italian", tail lights. These are different to what was used everywhere else, due to the amber indicator being on the outside, and the dual filament globe on the inboard side. I've looked everywhere I can think of so any input on how to modify the existing lights or where I can get what I need, will be appreciated. Marc. |
Nairobi Tented Camp is situated in the only wildlife park to be found next to a major city, and it offers something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world; a quintessential safari experience on the periphery of a modern metropolis. The camp consists of eight luxury en-suite tents, as well as elegant dining and living areas, comfortably nestled in a beautiful olive and the Croton forest in the Kisembe Valley. Being close to the wilderness and the city, the camp is truly one of a kind, an ideal location that offers something for everyone. They are eco-friendly, powered by solar energy and all waste disposals are done outside the park. Being close to the city, Nairobi Tented Camp is not only a fantastic stopover for people traveling through Nairobi on their way to and from safaris in the rest of the country or business men who would otherwise only see the gloomy gray of the inner city, but also as a tourism destination in itself. Nairobi Tented Camp also has the facilities to host small conferences and can sleep up to 16 delegates for business communication and team building exercises. For residents, it is the perfect weekend getaway. |
