    Do you know your Instagram from your TikTok, Twitter or Tumblr? If not, we have created some basic Instagram tutorials on YouTube (see links be- low) to get your club onto Instagram and posting in no time! Why Instagram? • Great engagement with younger age group ie. 13-17 y/o compared to Face- book • Easy to post – take photos and videos on rally days, competitions and camps, or re-post your members photos. Some tips for using Instagram • Engagement is more important than followers - remember, it’s not a compe- tition! Instagram is a really great tool to keep connected with your younger members, and also reach potential new members • Having a business account will allow you to see your engagements, profile visits, audience demographics, and also when your audience is online the most (to help you to determine the best time to post) • Remember to adhere to the Pony Club NSW Social Media Policy, which can be found here. A good rule is if you are questioning whether it is appro- priate to post, it probably isn’t! • All Instagram users must be at least 13 years or older to have their own ac- count. • Don’t share photos posted on members pages without asking them for per- mission first, and make sure you credit them for use of their image. • Use a club email address to make your Instagram account, that way if the person looking after the account moves on from the club, the login details can be passed onto the new person responsible (succession planning).

  • ROMAN EMPERORS in POPULAR JARGON: SEARCHING for CONTEMPORARY NICKNAMES (1)1 by CHRISTER BRUUN
    ROMAN EMPERORS IN POPULAR JARGON: SEARCHING FOR CONTEMPORARY NICKNAMES (1)1 By CHRISTER BRUUN Popular culture and opposite views of the emperor How was the reigning Emperor regarded by his subjects, above all by the common people? As is well known, genuine popular sentiments and feelings in antiquity are not easy to uncover. This is why I shall start with a quote from a recent work by Tessa Watt on English 16th-century 'popular culture': "There are undoubtedly certain sources which can bring us closer to ordinary people as cultural 'creators' rather than as creative 'consumers'. Historians are paying increasing attention to records of slanderous rhymes, skimmingtons and other ritualized protests of festivities which show people using established symbols in a resourceful way.,,2 The ancient historian cannot use the same kind of sources, for instance large numbers of cheap prints, as the early modern historian can. 3 But we should try to identify related forms of 'popular culture'. The question of the Roman Emperor's popularity might appear to be a moot one in some people's view. Someone could argue that in a highly 1 TIlls study contains a reworking of only part of my presentation at the workshop in Rome. For reasons of space, only Part (I) of the material can be presented and discussed here, while Part (IT) (' Imperial Nicknames in the Histaria Augusta') and Part (III) (,Late-antique Imperial Nicknames') will be published separately. These two chapters contain issues different from those discussed here, which makes it feasible to create the di vision. The nicknames in the Histaria Augusta are largely literary inventions (but that work does contain fragments from Marius Maximus' imperial biographies, see now AR.

  • Ballot Name; Use of Nickname Section 99.021, Florida Statutes
    DE 86-06 - May 1, 1986 Ballot Name; Use of Nickname Section 99.021, Florida Statutes To: Honorable Ann Robinson, Supervisor of Elections, Indian River County, 1840 - 25th Street, Suite N-109, Vero Beach, Florida 32960-3394 Prepared by: Division of Elections This is in response to your request for an advisory opinion pursuant to Section 106.23(2), Florida Statutes, regarding the use by a candidate as defined by the Florida Election Code, Chapters 97-106, Florida Statutes, of his or her proper name or nickname for appearance on the ballot. Section 99.021, Florida Statutes, requires each candidate to include in his or her oath of candidacy the name as the candidate wishes it to appear on the ballot and directs certification of the name by the qualifying officer to the appropriate supervisor of elections so that the name may thus be printed on the ballot. Under common law principles, not abrogated by Florida law, a name consists of one Christian or given name and one surname, patronymic or family name; therefore, the name printed on the ballot ordinarily should be the Christian or given name and surname, 29 C.J.S. Elections §161. In Florida, a person's legal name is his Christian or given name and family surname, Carlton vs. Phalan, 100 Fla. 1164, 131 So. 117 (1930). However, it has been determined that any name by which a candidate is known is sufficient on a ballot, and a person is legally permitted to have printed on the ballot the name which the candidate has adopted and under which he or she transacts private and official business, 29 C.J.S.

  • Use of Nickname on Ballot
    FLORIDA DEPAR~MENT STATE I . or , CHARLIE CRIST DAWN K. ROBERTS Governor Interim Secretary of State IMPORTANT NOTICE TO: All Candidates Qualifying with the Division of Elections FROM: Donald L. Palmer, Director Division of Elections !If DATE: May 11,2010 SUBJECT: Use of Nickname on Ballot NOTICE TO CANDIDATES QUALIFYING WITH THE DIVISION OF ELECTIONS) The candidate oath form that must be filed during the qualifying period requires you to designate your "name as you wish it to appear on ballot." Case law and Division ofElections Opinions 86­ 06 and 09-05 permit a nickname to be printed on the ballot along with one's surname when the nickname is one by which the person is generally known or one that the person has used as part of his or her legal name. For example, if John Jones is generally known as Bo Jones, permissible designations on the ballot may be John "Bo" Jones, John (Bo) Jones, Bo Jones, or John Jones. The Division of Elections opinions recognize that a qualifying officer may require the candidate to make a satisfactory showing that the candidate is generally known by the nickname or the nickname has been used as part of the candidate's legal name before a nickname is printed on the ballot. If you plan to designate a nickname on your candidate oath form other than a generally recognized shortened version of your legal name (e.g., "Rob" or "Bob" for Robert, "Bill" for William, "DJ" for David Joseph, etc.), you should provide notice of your intention to the Division of Elections well in advance of the qualifying period and make a satisfactory showing that you are generally known by the nickname or that you have used the nickname as part of your legal name.

  • M&A @ Facebook: Strategy, Themes and Drivers
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from NOVA – School of Business and Economics M&A @ FACEBOOK: STRATEGY, THEMES AND DRIVERS TOMÁS BRANCO GONÇALVES STUDENT NUMBER 3200 A Project carried out on the Masters in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Pedro Carvalho January 2018 Abstract Most deals are motivated by the recognition of a strategic threat or opportunity in the firm’s competitive arena. These deals seek to improve the firm’s competitive position or even obtain resources and new capabilities that are vital to future prosperity, and improve the firm’s agility. The purpose of this work project is to make an analysis on Facebook’s acquisitions’ strategy going through the key acquisitions in the company’s history. More than understanding the economics of its most relevant acquisitions, the main research is aimed at understanding the strategic view and key drivers behind them, and trying to set a pattern through hypotheses testing, always bearing in mind the following question: Why does Facebook acquire emerging companies instead of replicating their key success factors? Keywords Facebook; Acquisitions; Strategy; M&A Drivers “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook 2 Literature Review M&A activity has had peaks throughout the course of history and different key industry-related drivers triggered that same activity (Sudarsanam, 2003). Historically, the appearance of the first mergers and acquisitions coincides with the existence of the first companies and, since then, in the US market, there have been five major waves of M&A activity (as summarized by T.J.A.

Unfortunately, traditional methods do not efectively article detect drug-abuse risk behavior, given tweets. This is because: (1) tweets usually are noisy and sparse and (2) the availability of labeled data is limited. To address these challenging problems, we propose a deep self-taught learning system to detect and monitor drug-abuse risk behaviors in the Twitter sphere, by leveraging a large amount of unlabeled data. Our models automatically augment annotated data: (i) to improve the classifcation performance and (ii) to capture the evolving picture of drug abuse on online social media. Our extensive experiments have been conducted on three mil- lion drug-abuse-related tweets with geo-location information. Results show that our approach is highly efective in detecting drug-abuse risk behaviors.

    RAISING DIGITALLY RESPONSIBLE YOUTH A Parent’s Guide CONTENTS Copyright © 2020 Safer Schools Together. Reproduction of this material is strictly prohibited without written permission of the copyright owners. All rights reserved. Disclaimer: Given the rapidly evolving nature of technology and social media apps, this information (especially social media platform related) is current as of the date of publication: February 2020. A Parent's Guide Page 1 Introduction With society heading in the direction of being constantly connected to technology, what do we need to know as parents to protect our children and teach them responsible and appropriate uses of technology? The parameters of rules and expectations that you put in place at home will undoubtedly guide their behaviour in the years to come. Given the fact that technology has entered our lives at such a rapid pace and continues to evolve, raising our children in a digital era can seem overwhelming at times. The reality is that apps and technological devices will change, but the behaviour stays the same. Moderation is key to managing technology use in our homes. It does not need to be an all or nothing approach, with either absolute prohibition or full unchecked usage. It is beneficial to maintain an open, transparent, and ongoing dialogue with our children regarding the internet, technology, social media, and video games. Remaining approachable could be the difference between whether they decide to come to us when issues or uncomfortable situations arise rather than feeling alone in the process or going to their peers instead. Technology is here to stay, whether we like it or not.

  • A Close Look at Tinder Bots
    A Close Look at Tinder Bots Tahora H. Nazer∗ Fred Morstatter∗ Gareth Tysony Huan Liu∗ Abstract Tinder is a popular dating app that allows users to discover potential dating partners with close geographical proximity. Tinder is the first dating app in several countries and has more than 50 million users. However, many of these users are bots with malicious intent. The first step in dealing with this issue is understanding the characteristics of Tinder bots. Toward this aim, we have proposed a ground truth collection method to acquire bots to study. Our method combines honeypot methods and manual annotation. We find that probing messages is a reliable method to distinguish bots from humans as bots promote malicious URLs and direct users to phishing sites. Our observations on the collected bots show that they are more complex than bots that are studied in other social media sites. Tinder bots have profiles that are very hard to differentiate from normal users. We explore activity and profiles of these bots and report the characteristics that can be used in building a supervised learning approach for bot detection. 1 Introduction Tinder1 is one of the most popular dating applications for Android and iOS mobile phones. Tinder is recognized as the most downloaded app in 18 countries with the biggest app Figure 1: User life-cycle on Tinder. After a user joins Tinder, markets.
