Newsademic Launches English American Edition

(PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Newsademic, the international newspaper for the younger reader, is now available in two versions. Subscribers can choose either British or American English. Each carries the same news stories but differs in writing style, punctuation and spelling.

Newsademic is carefully written and edited for children aged between 9 and 16. Its aim is to educate and inform them about current international news stories.

There are now over 4,600 Newsademic readers – ranging from Argentina to Fiji and Sweden to South Africa. These include 232 schools and educational establishments.

“We are delighted to broaden our appeal,” said Susan Elkin, Newsademic’s editor. “Since our launch at the beginning of the year we have had a lot of feedback from readers in the USA. Many said that an American English edition would be a good idea.”

“Most of our subscribers – parents who take an active interest in their children’s education, ‘homeschoolers’, schools who view current affairs as an important part of the curriculum and language schools who use Newsademic as an aid to teaching English as a foreign language — live in countries where British English is the norm. So we hope that the new American English edition will make Newsademic more attractive to those in the USA and other countries who use American rather than British English” added Mrs Elkin.

Newsademic carries no advertising. Neither does it feature television, sport, computer games, pop music or celebrity culture. The focus is on international news events — the ones which shape and affect the world that we all live in today.

Newsademic is distributed fortnightly as a PDF file by email. Although it can be read on screen it is designed to be printed out and read as a paper copy. Subscription rates are

Showtime Launches Mobile Video

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 9, 2006

Mobile Streams and Showtime Networks Inc. announced today that Mobile Streams has built an Off-Deck WAP portal to provide mobile users with access to content from SHOWTIME programs for the first time.

Mobile users with 2.5G or 3G handsets will be able to access the mobile offering, subject to carrier and handset capabilities.

This is a groundbreaking arrangement where a television network will give consumers cross-carrier access to video clips from its shows. At launch, the SHOWTIME WAP portal gives mobile users access to video clips and wallpapers from the critically acclaimed new Original Series DEXTER starring Michael C. Hall, as well as video clips from the Emmy®-nominated and Golden Globe®-winning WEEDS and the new sketch comedy series THE UNDERGROUND starring Damon Wayans. Content from other Showtime programming, such as SLEEPER CELL, THE L WORD and SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

The launch of this WAP portal coincides with the multimedia promotional campaign surrounding the premiere of SHOWTIME’s newest hit original series DEXTER. In addition to giving consumers access to this portal on their mobile phones via http://wap.sho.com, messaging has been integrated into print, outdoor and on-air promotion for DEXTER to prompt mobile users to send a text message to SHOWTIME to request more content and information on the show. For example, users can text the word “DEXTER” to the short code SHOTV (74688) in order to receive more information and content on the show via mobile. Users can also learn how to access this mobile content at http://sho.com/dexter.

Robert Hayes, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Media for Showtime Networks commented: “Mobile has become an increasingly important component of our overall program promotion and marketing campaigns. It offers us an excellent subscriber acquisition and program sampling opportunity on the expanding mobile platform” Hayes concluded.

Chris Rovtar, Senior Vice President of Mobile Streams, who manages the SHOWTIME relationship says: “We are extremely excited to be involved in the SHOWTIME mobile application.

Rome, Italy (PRWEB) September 12, 2008

If you’re planning to travel to Rome, you now have 3 new MPTours to guide you through this wonderful and historic city! MPTours.com recently launched 3 new MP3 walking tours of Rome, Italy. The company, which also has 3 MP3 walking tours of the most popular neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is quickly expanding its offering in response to the fast-growing demand for downloadable audio guides. “Rome is a fantastic walking city,” says co-founder Paul Iribarne. “The amount of history and architectural beauty is perfect to enjoy at your own pace, with no schedules.”

The three new available products for Rome invite travellers to discover Trastevere, Piazza del Popolo to Fontana di Trevi, and Campo de’ Fiori to the Pantheon. Each MPTour has its own style, but all maintain the company’s trademark: experiential, lively, interesting walking tours narrated by a local friend who is showing you around a specific part of town.

MPTours’ offering goes far beyond a voice feeding information to the listener. The audio tours create an experience as you get to know the narrator’s personality, walk to the beat of the music and take in the history of the area . MPTours can also complement existing guides and bus tours, providing an alternative style and delivering information with a twist of local flavor.

“There is nothing like discovering a city with the help of a local friend, and our mp3 walking tours do exactly that, with the added benefit of music and historical input,” says co-founder Steven Finder.

In order to purchase an MPTour, go online to http://www.mptours.com where you can purchase and download the mp3 file in a matter of minutes. Each MPTour has about 1 hour of audio, and it usually takes around 2 to 3 hours to cover as users may choose to explore certain spots further, or stop for a drink somewhere. A printable map is included for reference and marked with suggested stops. MPTours.com will also offer pre-loaded MP3 players for travelers already in Rome or for those who forgot their MP3 players at home. More information will be posted on the MPTours.com site soon.

About MPTours.com

MPTours.com was created for the savvy independent traveler looking for an inventive type of journey. Its goal is to provide a state-of-the-art touring experience that will physically, intellectually and sensually transport travelers into the core of a city.

MPTours.com also creates high-quality audio files for instructive and commercial purposes.

The founders of MPTours.com are two former college roommates with shared passions: travel, technology and soccer. They embarked on this adventure when they recognized an unfilled gap in the tourism industry for the so-called iPod generation. Why not combine technology with travel to create a travel experience that can appeal to the five senses? Their mission was to create a product for freedom-seeking, intrepid travelers like themselves who want to be immersed in new places. No schedules, no groups, no waiting around for others to be ready. All travelers need to explore the world is their MP3 player.

In Celebration of Earth Day, Global Village School Launches Unique Homeschool Curriculum Based on The Earth Charter

Ojai, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2010

In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), Global Village School, a leader in distance learning through homeschooling, is proud to announce its new K-8 Whole Child, Healthy Planet curriculum. This innovative approach in education features a learning styles-centered program, focusing on engaging the whole child with an emphasis on diversity and developmental stages.

The school’s new K-8 curriculum guides are centered on the four core principles of the Earth Charter: (1) Respect and Care for the Community of Life (2) Ecological Integrity (3) Social & Economic Justice (4) Democracy, Nonviolence, Peace and Diversity.

Families of children attending Global Village School are already enthusiastic about the new curriculum. Parent Beth Campbell-Rafdal says, “We received our Whole Child, Healthy Planet curriculum guide last week. We are so excited that we found Global Village School. I feel as though the curriculum was written for our family! Thank you for helping us navigate an even more meaningful path of homeschooling with our kids.”

While most standard curriculum is shaped by a textbook and a workbook, the Whole Child, Healthy Planet curriculum is built around the inspiration found in many types of literature.

Sally Carless, founder and Executive Director of Global Village School explains, “The K8 curriculum guides cover all of the core academic subjects in a way that engages students through a sense of enchantment, awe, and wonder as well as through the incorporation of art, music, nature, imagination, and story.”

“Global Village is truly a school with heart,” says Marriage, Family and Child Counselor Nancy Hart, M.A.. “How can a child truly learn when his or her focus is the fear around test taking and memorization? If the strongest emotion around schooling is fear, then that fear gets connected to the learning process. Promoting the love of learning, not the fear of failing to learn–wow! What a concept! Isn’t this what we want for our children?”

About Global Village School –

From its base in the coastal hills of Southern California, this successful distance learning school reaches out to students as far away as Arkansas, Argentina and Australia. The school offers an international K-12 homeschool diploma program that empowers students to cultivate their gifts and passions by engaging them in a creative, flexible educational process grounded in the principles of peace, justice, diversity, and sustainability.

The K8 Whole Child, Healthy Planet curriculum is currently being used by private and charter schools as well as by homeschoolers. To explore samples of the K8 courses, visit http://www.globalvillageschool.org/k8-curriculum.html.

IDEAME.COM Launches In Latin America to Promote Creativity Through Crowdfunding

Buenos Aires, Argentina (PRWEB) July 08, 2011

During the biennial 2011 Endeavor Entrepreneur Summit, the landmark event hosted by the global nonprofit organization that transforms emerging countries by support high-impact entrepreneurs, the official launch of IDEAME.com was announced as well as the successful completion of its first round of financing.

The fundamental goal of IDEAME.com is to provide financial support for creative and artistic Latin American talent in all their expressions turning their ideas into reality on a global stage. Through innovative social networking and value-added technological services, IDEAME.com will allow creatives and artists to share their ideas with an online community, providing those members with the opportunity to take an active role in the development and execution of various projects and initiatives all on one platform.

IDEAME.com will serve as the conduit for projects by local talent, which often fail to come to fruition due to lack of financing, to be shared and allow the public to participate in creative endeavors of interest and worthy of development, thus capitalizing on the spirit of community and stimulating local economies.

According to Sebastian Uchitel, general manager of IDEAME.com, The collective financing model, also known as crowdfunding, has grown exponentially in recent years thanks to social networking. Uchitel highlights that our platform seeks to secure financing for creative projects in Latin America in a variety of areas, including music, cinema, visual arts, design, fashion, innovation and technology. In the United States, sites like http://www.kickstarter.com and http://www.quirky.com, and international sites like http://www.verkami.com and http://www.pozible.com.au are already helping creative talent by raising millions of dollars in financing in exchange for gifts and other rewards. We are adapting those successful models on a global level to meet the needs of artists and creative talent in Latin America.

The company has secured the support of a group of investors of notable prestige with a solid track record in online and creative throughout the region. Among the investors are Eduardo Costantini Jr. (who served as executive director of the MALBA Museum for five years, cofounder of MUBI and president of Costa Films), Boris Hirmas Said (vice chairman of Yellow Pepper and a member of the Latin American Committee of the Tate Museum in London) and Wenceslao Casares (founder of Patagon and Bling Nation), just to name a few of the most prominent investors, added Mariano Suarez Battan, the renowned entrepreneur who sold his company Three Melons to Playdom/Disney in 2010 and one of the cofounders of IDEAME.com.

There is an extraordinary pool of creative and innovative talent in Latin America which faces obstacles to find funding. IDEAME.com will fill that void by providing the necessary resources for those artists to turn their dreams into reality, and we think its a great initiative, said Eduardo Costantini Jr., who will serve as chairman of the companys board of directors.

The company plans to launch the platform in August 2011. The market rollout will initiate in Argentina and Chile and later on expand to other Latin American markets, including Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.

Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra Launches Facebook Ticketing

Fresno, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2011

The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra has significantly updated its Facebook status by launching the ability for patrons to purchase tickets directly through the leading online social media network. The organization is the first in Canada to launch ShoWare Social Media Connect, enabling fans to further engage with its brand in new and meaningful ways.

ShoWare Social Media Connect allows venues to get the most from the social media revolution by selling tickets directly from its Facebook fan page with real-time inventory management and credential validation. Built-in sharing features help venues gain “followers” on Twitter and “fans” on Facebook and ultimately boost sales.

Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra created its Facebook page three seasons ago, and has used it as an active part of its overall communications strategy by posting information about the orchestra and encouraging interaction with its fans. They currently have more than 2,000 fans and expect that the Facebook ticketing capability will encourage more growth.

Engaging fans on Facebook has become an increasingly core strategy of ours. Now people can buy tickets right from Facebook rather than have to leave and come to our site, so its one less step for them, said Marylou Bennetts, Director, Marketing and Sales for the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. The addition of Facebook ticketing is another way we can interact with our patrons and generate a positive customer experience.

Calgary Philharmonic Orchestras use of ShoWare Social Media Connect has them uniquely positioned to leverage their existing marketing efforts in a very integrated and cohesive fashion, said Joseph Wettstead, Vice President Sales and Marketing for ShoWare by VisionOne, Inc.
