Texas State Library and Archives Commission Launches Statewide Effort to Improve Internet Access in Texas Public Libraries

San Antonio, TX (Vocus) October 9, 2009

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission assembled nearly 200 public library leaders, community supporters, broadband providers, and local and state leaders for the Texas Opportunity Online Broadband Summit, on Thursday, October 8, 2009, in San Antonio, to discuss how to improve and sustain high quality Internet access in the Texas public libraries. The Texas Opportunity Online Broadband Summit provides an opportunity to understand the value of community partnerships and the possibilities of technology as well as in-depth discussion about possible connectivity solutions and next steps necessary to reach improved connectivity speed.

Currently, more than 200 Texas public library systems lack Internet connections fast enough to meet the most basic needs of patrons, and many more report speeds that are inadequate to meet the true demand of their community. Ironically, some of these public libraries offer the only technology lifeline to their communities.

This is the first of two Texas summits that is sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as part of its pilot Opportunity Online broadband grant program. Texas, along with six other states, has been invited to participate. The grant program supports public libraries as they seek to improve their broadband connectivity and calls for a broadband sustainability strategy, to be developed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, to ensure that public libraries continue to improve and maintain adequate connectivity for patrons.

The summit included a comprehensive analysis of Texas current broadband climate and the future of technology access in Texas public libraries. Stephen Abram, a library futurist, spoke about future library services and applications driven by technology that will influence how Americans use computers and the Internet, and why reliable, sustainable broadband connections in libraries will be essential to ensure library patrons can use these programs to improve their lives.

Keynote speaker Graham Richard, former mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana and partner of public libraries, highlighted the importance of public and private partnerships on the local and state level to prioritize funding for improved connectivity in public libraries.

Peggy Rudd, Texas State Library and Archives Commissions director and librarian, led the summit and represented the agency.

Every day we are reminded of the value of Texas public libraries, Rudd said. Todays public libraries provide traditional services, but a growing number of patrons depend on library Internet access to apply for jobs, further their education, run businesses or stay connected with families and friends. This summit and grant program will help better meet these increasing personal and community needs by improving library connection speeds.

Building on dialogue and ideas generated at the summit, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is currently working with an advisory groupincluding Commissioner Todd Staples of the Texas Department of Agriculture, former Governor Mark White, Texas State Library and Archives Commission Chairman Sandra J. Pickett – to develop a strategy to increase and sustain broadband connections in all Texas public libraries. Texas State Library and Archives Commission will now work with libraries across the state to support their Internet connectivity upgrade and create a long-term state sustainability strategy.

The summit highlights the vital role libraries play in connecting communities to information and knowledge through technology, said Jill Nishi, deputy director of U.S. Libraries at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. What is needed now is long-term collaboration among government, business, communities, and library leaders to ensure that public libraries can continue to provide the high-speed Internet access their patrons need to improve their lives and thrive.

Connected Nation worked closely with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to support the event development and execution.

Dairy Queen(R) Introduces the ”Deeqs”: DQ(R) Launches Innovative Online Game and in-Store Kids Program

Dairy Queen(R) Introduces the ”Deeqs”: DQ(R) Launches Innovative Online Game and in-Store Kids Program

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) January 31, 2008

The Deeqs live at http://deeqs.com in a new interactive, unique online game community designed by space 150, located in Minneapolis. Kids can take these fully-customizable characters on interactive digital game adventures earning Deeqs points along the way. As the site develops, the points kids earn playing the game will be redeemable for virtual and in-store Dairy Queen rewards.

“Kids live in the digital world and this site and the Deeq characters really speak to them,” said Tim Hawley, vice president of marketing communications for International Dairy Queen. “Giving kids a fun, safe, challenging online adventure game is the perfect way for young fans of DQ to interact with our brand and spread smiles and stories with their new friends the Deeqs.”

Who exactly are the DQ Deeqs? Legend has it that in the late 1930s when the founders of Dairy Queen were experimenting with their newly invented soft serve ice cream, something incredible happened. They mistakenly made one of the batches too sweet, powerful and too much fun. The mixture bubbled, sparked and burst out of the bowl, morphing into new and lovable creatures that became known as the Deeqs.

The Deeqs began to multiply rapidly and were so out of control that the founders locked them away in a freezer, where they remained for the last 70 years. Now, the Deeqs have broken free and are scattered all across the land and only visitors to the site can save and reunite them.

“One of the coolest elements is that kids can name and fully customize their personal Deeq’s gender, color and style before taking them on a journey through the Web site,” said Hawley.

The Deeqs move through varying adventures and thought-provoking levels that are creatively stimulating and challenging for kids who will use resourceful problem solving skills to advance and earn points.

The kids campaign includes online, email and in-store elements, where the Deeqs reign in the DQ universe. Also, beginning in mid-2008, DQ kids’ meals will be served in Deeqs branded packaging and include a free DQ treat of a small cone, Dilly Bar or $ 1 off a 12 oz. Blizzard(R) Treat.

Phil Town Launches New Educational Venture Targeting Small Investors

Phil Town Launches New Educational Venture Targeting Small Investors

Payback Time, the latest book by author Phil Town

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 2, 2010

Phil Town, financial advocate and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rule #1, announced the launch of a new venture that includes a new website filled with free resources and tools, his own cable television show scheduled to air this spring, and a series of both live and online workshops, all based on the investment strategies described in his new book, Payback Time. Payback Time has already racked up enough pre-orders to have hit #1 on the Amazon.com Bestseller list.

Town’s second book explains the strategy of “stockpiling,” which has been used by successful investors from Warren Buffett to Carlos Slim, and describes methods to identify and value what Town terms “wonderful companies” with the goal of buying them at a significant discount to their intrinsic values. Payback Time, in combination with the new educational enterprise, supports Town’s investor revolution, which is designed to encourage individuals to consider taking back the management of their investment capital from mutual funds, many of which are, in Town’s view, too highly-loaded.

Town’s investor revolution starts with a national rollout of his two-day Payback Time Workshops, planned for early this summer. At the workshops, Town and other investment education coaches will educate students on the strategies covered in his new book. According to Town, “There is no excuse for anyone not to learn the skills necessary to consider taking control of their own investments. By the end of a Payback Time Workshop, every attendee should understand that is it not necessary to invest in high load mutual funds, and that it’s possible for them to learn how to manage their own investments.”

In order to make the investor revolution accessible to the general public, Town is offering free general admission to attend his two-day workshops to anyone who buys his new book. Included in each book is a scholarship that entitles the purchaser and a guest the opportunity to attend the workshop tuition free. To validate their scholarships, book purchasers must register at PaybackTime.com to receive their Scholarship ID, which is required for access to the workshop events. Registration to the website provides members with access to an array of complementary and premium resources available on-demand, including:

    Complimentary online classes, like “Finding Wonderful Companies.”
    Access to stockpiling tools and other calculators, including ready-to-use calculators designed to help you use the Payback Time methodology to estimate a company’s value.
    Other free resources include educational articles about the potential advantages offered by a Berky account, a list of recommended websites, and pertinent case studies.
    A complimentary subscription to The Payback Times, an e-newsletter packed with market news and updates.
    A schedule of Payback Time workshops scheduled to roll out summer 2010 in major U.S. cities. The workshops will be taught by a team of trained Payback Time instructors.
    An opportunity to buy the Payback Time book directly from the website.

With the creation of this new website to deliver Town’s message, the combination of the Payback Time book, workshops, classes and toolsets represent an educational platform that strives to put the responsibility of investment management back into the hands of the small individual investor.

Cash for Gold Prices & Gold Value Explained: GoldFellow? Launches the “Gold Payments Gallery”

Cash for Gold Prices & Gold Value Explained: GoldFellow® Launches the “Gold Payments Gallery”

GoldFellow paid $ 207.90 to a customer for this used gold necklace.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2010

Consumers report the primary obstacle in selling unwanted gold jewelry is confusion about their gold’s true value. Lack of knowledge about the weight of their gold and strange terms like “pennyweights (dwt),” “grams” and “troy ounces,” confuse and intimidate many potential customers looking to sell their gold for cash.

In a telephone survey of 600 potential gold sellers who had signed up to sell their gold to GoldFellow® but never sent in their gold, 78% of the respondents acknowledged they were unsure of the value of their gold jewelry and other pieces.

Barbara Whitman of Seattle, WA said she ordered information from six different gold buyers only to trash all of them. When questioned by a GoldFellow® representative as to why she chose not to sell her gold, Whitman admitted her confusion.

“Honestly, when I wanted to sell my gold I felt dumb, but I said I wanted an idea of how much money to expect and the penny weight prices offered by gold buyers just added to my confusion.”

According to Michael Gusky, president of GoldFellow®, “listening to the customer opened my eyes.”

“Wow, I had assumed if we offered a great customer experience, significantly higher gold prices and free, insured FedEx® shipping that would be enough to win,” said Gusky. “But, very often these customer benefits were overlooked because our gold pricing was misunderstood. Honestly, we’ve been communicating in the wrong language,” realized Gusky.

GoldFellow® did more than listen and developed a real solution, launching the “Gold Payments Gallery” on its website.

“This new interactive tool is a virtual show and tell,” said Mary Hamilton, a customer support manager who has worked for Gusky since 1987. “It gives people selling gold an opportunity to peruse hundreds of photos and see the actual dollar amount paid to an individual seller for that particular piece of gold jewelry. Our Gold Payments Gallery gives people a way to see and compare items they have at home to items which are similar – or possibly identical – to items GoldFellow® has already purchased.”

Each photo, according to Hamilton, shows the total cash paid for the gold item along with the karat and actual weight of the gold in both pennyweight and gram units. In addition, the current gold price can be found daily, in real time, on the Goldfellow® website.

‘We have taken the mystery out of gold selling – it’s entertaining and educational,” added Gusky who is very proud of GoldFellow®’s latest innovation. “We listened and took action,” said Gusky. “As consumer advocates, we are always looking for innovative ways to provide valuable information, giving people greater power to make intelligent financial decisions.”

Michael Gusky began his gold industry career in 1977. His fine jewelry company became the largest supplier of gold to America’s retailers and was sold to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire-Hathaway in July 2007.

Canadian Philanthropist Jesse Willms Launches New Site

Canadian Philanthropist Jesse Willms Launches New Site

(PRWEB) November 18, 2010

Noted Edmonton philanthropist and Internet entrepreneur, Jesse Willms, is launching a dedicated website so people can help spread the word about worthwhile charities, and give up and coming entrepreneurs business advice.

“Whether it’s worthy nonprofit groups or up and coming entrepreneurs, I like to help people,” Willms said. “I’ve written quite a bit of advice but never had it archived in one place. This will make things easier for people I think.”

The site, http://www.jessewillmspressreleases.com will be updated regularly and maintain an online archive of past press releases and other announcements.

Willms has become famous in the Canadian business and philanthropic communities. He started his first business in his basement when he was 16 years old. Within six years, he was running a multimillion-dollar operation.

Last summer, he was watching television when he saw Bill Gates and Warren Buffett challenge successful entrepreneurs to use their wealth and influence to support charities and other nonprofit groups that work to make the world a better place.

Since then, he has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to various charities including World Vision, The Kiva Foundation, The Breast Cancer Research Fund and Big Brothers/Big Sisters Of Canada. He has also volunteered his time to a variety of Edmonton nonprofit groups including Santas Anonymous, The Mustard Seed food bank and Habitat For Humanity.

As he has done so, he has documented his efforts and explained online why he has chosen these charities to support. “When I first contacted these charities I asked them what I could do to help,” Jesse Willms said. “They told me that donations are important, but it’s just as important to help spread the word about the work they do. So, I’ve done my best to send out press releases and encourage others to support charities as well.”

Jesse Willms said that by having all of his press releases consolidated on one site, he feels that his promotional efforts for the organizations will be even more effective than before.

He’s also issued press releases advising young entrepreneurs about how to make money online while still behaving ethically and honestly. Those press releases, he said, will also be included on the new website.

“This will be a one stop site filled with information that I hope will help people and nonprofit organizations,” Willms said.

space150 Launches iPhone App & Mobile Site for Dairy Queen?

space150 Launches iPhone App & Mobile Site for Dairy Queen®

Where’s DQ iPhone App

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 14, 2009

space150, the digital marketing agency of record for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), developed and launched a new mobile version of the Dairy Queen website, along with a “DQ® Restaurant Finder” application for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch devices.

The user experience on both mobile platforms was intentionally simplified as compared to the full DQ website. Finding a Dairy Queen store is at the core of both the iPhone app and the mobile site experience. The mobile website also has simplified menu and nutritional information, and the iPhone app uses GPS to find the closest store based on the user’s location.

Bringing the store locator to the front of the mobile experience was a decision based mostly on the actions of previous mobile users. Mobile traffic to the site has more than tripled from last year, and the store locator page had more visits than any other page on the site – including the home page.

“We’re thrilled to see the growth in traffic from mobile users,” said Michael Keller, DQ’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our mobile users have different objectives than desktop users, and we wanted to make sure we make it easy to give them what they want.”

“A lot of mobile developers have a ‘kitchen sink’ problem,” said space150 President Marcus Fisher. “They try to squeeze everything into their mobile applications just because they can. We kept it simple, and gave the mobile users what they needed: a way to find their local DQ restaurant.”

About ADQ:

American Dairy Queen Corporation, which is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn., develops, licenses and services a system of more than 5,700 Dairy Queen® stores in the United States, Canada and other foreign countries. IDQ is part of the Berkshire Hathaway family, a company owned by Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. For more information, visit DairyQueen.com.

Aachen, Germany (PRWEB) July 9, 2006

A German blogger who calls himself “The guy from MakeMeRicher.net” launched a charity dinner on eBay today. The dinner will benefit a non-profit charity organisation with 50% of the proceeds from the winning bid.

According to his auction details he predicts that “A charity dinner with a real nobody will generate a huge media echo. Blogs and eZines deliver crazy news faster than ever and you can use this auction to promote your company / website… or whatever else.”

He also writes that the dinner could take place anywhere in the world and the winning bidder has to pay his flight and hotel costs to the desired destination.

With a starting bid of $ 2.000,00 and a shipping flat rate of $ 1.500,00 the dinner is a lot cheaper than the real “Warren Buffett Power Lunch”.
