10 Actors Who Auditioned For Key Roles In Game Of Thrones, But, Failed
Game of Thrones has featured a lot of great actors, and their performances have been widely appreciated. It is certainly to cast such a large number of good actors in one show, and the toughest part was to choose from the various options available. A lot of actors auditioned for the roles available in the series, and we have compiled a list of some actors who auditioned, but, failed to make the cut.
1. Sam Hueghan- Loras Tyrell:
Sam Hueghan gave auditions for Loras Tyrell and also his lover Renly Baratheon. He almost got to play Loras Tyrell after giving seven auditions. However, he failed to get the approval, and Finn Jones bagged the role to play the Knight of flowers.
2. Jennifer Ehle- Catelyn Stark:
Jennifer Ehle was on her way to play Catelyn Stark and even filmed the pilot episode as Catelyn. However, she was soon replaced with Michelle Fairley without any formal explanation and the pilot episode filmed by her Jennifer was never aired.
3. Jaime Bamber- Jaime Lannister:
Jaime Lannister is vital to the show, and his character is highly interesting. Therefore, the casting directors exercised great caution while selecting the actor to portray the Kingslayer. Jaime Bamber had a great shot at the role, and his appearance exactly matched the character, yet, he didn't make it through. There was no detail given about what went against him and how Nikolaj was chosen over him. Bamber would have done excellently in character.
4. Jaime Campbell Bower- SerWaymar Royce:
The other actor who played a role in the unreleased pilot is Jamie Campbell Bower. He was selected to play Waymar Royce who is among the original characters for the show. The role was not much as Royce died in the opening sequence itself. However, at the time of the reshoots of the pilot, Bower was unavailable, and they had to choose someone else.
5. Izzy Meikle-Small- Sansa Stark:
The competition for Sansa Stark was down to two ladies. One was Sophie Turner, and the other was Izzy. They chose Turner because they felt Izzy didn't look like their ideal Sansa.
6. Mahershala Ali- XaroXhaonDaxos
Mahershala Ali shot to fame with his Oscar win earlier this year for Moonlight. He had auditioned for the part of the merchant prince of Qarth. He has remarked in interviews subsequently that he lost due to his own failure as he gave one of the worst auditions of his career.
7. Eugene Simon- Joffrey Baratheon:
It often happens how actors get the roles they didn't audition for and failed to get the ones that they went after. Eugene played the character of Lancel Lannister in Game of Thrones. However, he had earlier auditioned to play Joffrey Baratheon. He was asked to read the lines for Lancel, and he did so well that he was cast as the character.
8. Tamzin Merchant- Daenerys Targaryen:
Tamzim happens to be another actor who played the role in the unaired pilot but got recast. She was set to play Daenerys Targaryen before Emilia was roped in. Emilia got the role ultimately as she impressed the directors more.
9. Sam Claflin- Jon Snow:
This handsome British actor had tried to play Jon Snow. After he was rejected, he tried to play Viserys Targaryen, and he failed again. He couldn't get to play the part of Snow, but, he did manage to star opposite Emilia Clarke in 'Me Before You.'
10. Iwan Rheon- Jon Snow:
Ramsey Bolton was definitely a highly frightening villain on Game of Thrones, and it was played by Iwan Rheon immaculately. However, Iwan had earlier faced rejection when he auditioned for Jon Snow. The makers liked him and contacted him when they wanted to find Ramsey. Rheon even stated, "I think they made the right choice, it would've been a very different Jon Snow if I'd played him."

Songs About Nuclear War from the Eighties, Songs Beginning with W
This page currently edited by: Powerslave. Past editor: Speed Racer
"Walking in Your Footsteps," by The Police
"If we explode the atom bomb, would they say that we were dumb?" This isn't the dominant theme, but it's certainly a key part of the song
"The Walls Came Down," by The Call
"They blew the horn, and the walls came down". "I don't think there are any more Russians, and there aint no yanks, just corporate criminals, playing with tanks". The horn is the warning siren, the walls are the structures destroyed. Last reference is a corporate controlled post apocolyptic world.
"The War Song," by Culture Club
from the album 'Waking Up With The House On Fire' 1984 "war is stupid and people are stupid"
"War Song," by Culture Club
This song reached No2 in the British Charts in October 1984. it is from Culture Club's 1984 album 'Waking Up With The House On Fire. War is stupid and people are stupid And I heard the banging of hearts and fingers.
"Wardance," by Art Interface
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Art+Interface Minimal synth-pop from 1984. You've gotta live each day like it's your last. You're going to lose it all in a nuclear blast!
"We Don't Need Another Hero- Thunderdome," by Tina Turner
Tina Turner starred and sang a hit song for the movie Thunderdome. The Mel Gibson fick was about human survival in a post apocalyse Australia. I am sure that there are anti-nuke sentiments in the song.
"We Got The Neutron Bomb," by The Weirdos
We got the neutron bomb, We got the neutron bomb We got the neutron, gonna drop it all over the place Yer gonna get it on yer face Foreign aid from the land of the free But don't blame me We got the neutron bomb, We got the neutron bomb We got the neutron, don't understand you don't know what you mean We don't want you we want your machines United Nations and NATO won't do It's just the red, white and blue We got the neutron bomb, We got the neutron bomb We got the neutron, that's the way it's gotta be Survivial of the fittest is the way it's gonna be We don't want it, we don't want it, Don't blame me We don't want it, we don't want it, Don't blame me
"We'll All Be Green By Thanksgiving," by Fugly Bobinson and the Mutated Cookies
This song is about Iraq launching a nuclear strike on America on Thanksgiving: Yeah, yeah, there'll be a bomb, It'll come down from the sky, Like you've never seen before, And you'll all ask why.
"Welcome to Reality," by Adolescents
Blood so deap the horse must hold his head up high In the valley of decision where 1/3 of the world will die Beat your hoes and plows into axes and spears As the armies meet in a battle they've predicted for years Let the weak say I'm a warrior - bring down the warriors Let the faithless regain faith- your faith is hopeless The prophets & psychics & the military agree Continued world crisis leads us straight to WWIII Roll out the red carpet, let the angel of death ride in To the valley of decision let the mayhem begin Let the weak say I'm a warrior - bring down the warriors Let the faithless regain faith- your faith is hopeless Apocalyptic madness, 2/3 of the world in sadness The other third is gone but the insanity lingers on Crumbled cities in an aftermath of hate No way to stop it because it's too late The anti-christ, his mission done The dead are the only lucky ones Are you ready? The picture's painted For the valley the scene set Of decision, make your decision For the valley it's too late Welcome -- welcome to reality Welcome -- welcome to reality Welcome -- welcome to reality Make your decision You've got no choice
"Welcome to the Terror Dome," by Public Enemy
I always thought that PE's reference to a terror dome was in relation to missle defense and nuclear war paranoia.
"The Well Fed Man," by The Dubliners
THE BUTTON PUSHER Enoch Kent Chorus: I'm the man, the well-fed man in charge of the terrible knob The most pleasing thing about it, it's almost a permanent job When the atom war is over and the world is split in three A consolation I've got, well maybe it's not, there'll be nobody left but me I sit at me desk in Washington in charge of this great machine More vicious than Adolf Hitler, more deadly than strychenine And in the evening after a tiring day just to give meself a laugh I hit the button a playful belt and I listen for the blast (Chorus) If Brezjnev starts his nonsense and makes a nasty smell With a wink and a nod from Nixon, I'll blast them all to hell And as for that fellow Castro, him with the sugar cane He needn't hide behind his whiskers, I'll get 'm just the same (Chorus) If me wife denies me conjucular rights or me breakfast milk is sour From eight to nine in the morning you're in for a nervous hour The button being so terribly close, it's really a dreadful joke A bump with me ass as I go past and we'll all go up in smoke (Chorus) Now I'm thinking of joining the army, the army that bans the bomb We'll take up a large collection and I'll donate my thumb For without it I am helpless and that's the way to be You don't have to kill the whole bloody lot to make the people free
"When The Bomb Drops," by Subhumans
When the bomb drops there will be a bank holiday Everybody happy in their tents and carivans Everybody happy in their ignorance and apathy No one realises 'til the television breaks down...
"When The Children Cry," by White Lion
When the Children Cry (4:20) little child dry your crying eyes how can I explain the fear you feel inside cause you were born into this evil world where mas is killing man and no one knows just why what we have become just look what we have done all that we destroyed you must build again when the children cry let them know we tried cause when the children sing then the new world begins little child you must show the way to a better day for all the young cause you were born for all the world to see taht we all can live with love and peace no more presidents and all the wars will end one united world under god when the children cry let them know we tried cause when the children sing then the new world begins what we have become just look what we have done all that we destroyed you must build again no more presidents and all the wars will end one united world under god when the children cry let them know we tried when the children fight let them know it ain't right when the children pray let them know the way cause when the children sing then the new world begins Bridge: When the cildren cry let them know we tried when children fight let them it aint right when the children pray let them know we're away cause when the children sing the new world begins
"When the Walls Came Tumbling Down," by Def Leppard
Self explanatory: (spoken) On the first day of the first month in some distant year The whole sky froze golden Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb While others told of a final retribution A terrible revenge of the gods (sung) But we understood the grand finale Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before So all that was left was... All the women were captured and chained And national suicide was proclaimed And New America fell to the ground And all the children lay crippled and lame But all the nations came together In fear of the thought of the end No more would we fight in the streets No courage had we to defend When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound A blinding light the sun had died A new moon took its place Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down When the walls came tumbling down Nobody made a sound Down!
"Who's Gonna Win The War," by Hawkwind
Lonely figures waiting, Shadows on a hill, Looking into valleys where everything is still. Only death is lurking, The creeping sickness waits So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war. Radiation-Wasteland in the setting-sun Dust clouds they are rising to obliterate the guns. Already weeds are writing their scriptures in the sand, So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war. Enough said !!!
"Will The Sun Rise," by Dokken
song about the Cuban missile crisis. In the name of glory we set offto the sea, in the name of liberty fighting to be free, but one mistake can lay it all to rest. I need to know if there will be a sun rise in the morning,I need to know, will there be a sky?
"Wooden Ships," by Crosby, Stills & Nash
"Can you tell me please, who won?"
"World Destruction," by Time Zone
John Lydon of Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. & Afrika Bambaataa released this one-off single in 1985. Only a couple of lines directly address nuclear war Yes, the world is headed for destruction. Is it a nuclear war? What are you asking for?, We've come to drop a bomb on you. / World destruction, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!, but the lyrics mostly center on the various conflicts between nations and peoples that make such a disaster seem rational.
"World Peace," by The Cro-Mags
...if AIDS don't get you then the warheads will
"World War 3," by Bad Religion
"Forget it!" came from the president's door. "I'll make us have another war. It don't matter what the people think. We have to save our precious brink. Here I go, I'll push the (first) bomb. Yeah, it's headed straight for Guam. All the rest will release soon. Right into your living room." World War III
"World War III," by D.O.A
Vancouver's Greatest Punk Band: WW III, WW III, WW III, don't you bloody see?
WW III It doesn't matter what you say, you won't make it no bleedin way
You haven't got any choice, you really haven't got any voice
Preventive measures have been taken, it'll really help against nuclear rapin
No streets, no people, left on the land, the policy ran out on our plan
That's right... World war, lotsa fun
People in a panic, on the run
World war, lotsa fun
White House is aimin the gun
People in a panic on the run
The kremlin's aimin the gun
We're pawns in the middle,
sittin ducks with no acquittal
They're gonna make us fight,
protectin oil is our right
Unlock them now on the flag deck,
Soviet bombers you're gonna net
It's breakin up the Richter scale, bombs away, they're gonna sail
No human lives stand in the way, cause we're on our way to a new clear day
"World War III," by TSOL
Jimmy Carter ran for president again, You voted for who you want but the government won It's not a question of who can do the job, It just don't matter how much money you have! Enter World War Three, World War Three Where do I stand in this form of power, Where do I fit with this government, I have no choice! Third world war! Who are the victims? Third world war!

World War Three! Where do I stand in this form of power? Where do I fit with this government? I have no choice! Third world war! Who are the victims? Third world war! Who are the victims? Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go! I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, I won't go! Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go! I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, I won't go! Tell 'em no!! TSOL circa 1980 or 81 Pretty much all the songs on TSOL's "black album" EP were anti-nuke anti-war and anti-government
"World War III," by Grandmaster Flash
From the chorus and first verse: Life is a Game of Business and in the end we sight (swear to god) the new and old are bought and sold and everybody thinks they're right War is a game of business a game we shouldn't play (swear to god) cause men with guns killed all our sons they blew us all away They Called it World (Paranoina!) War (it's Almost Over) 3 (Cause Nobody Hears what the People Say) Realistcally the Bombs are ready Technically, Nuclear by name Capability of total Destruction Radioactive death and flame there is talk of a firey doom prophesied since the dawn of time in a world of bloodshed, mass confusion, killer diseases, Pollution and Crime Man is in Conflict with nature and that is why there's so much sin mother nature's delicate balance will fix it so nobody wins The other verses kinda ramble, and the final verse is little too long to post, but they all pretty much go into exaggerated details of nuclear war and what is lost. In addition, it's anti-war song, as it criticizes the military-industrial complex and what happens to soldiers after the war is over.
"World Wars 3 and 4 ," by Carnivore
This is a great song by a great band. I don't know all of the lyrics but the ones I do know go something like this... A bomb hits the city, all life instantly vaporized But I not so fortunate burning right before my eyes Stumbling I trip over pieces of descending flesh, Leaving a pile of smoldering humanoid mess Radiation, coming in waves, Leading me to a nuclear grave Are you ready? Will you be? Will you fight World War 3 Are you ready? Are you sure? WIll you fight World war 4?
"Wrap Up The Rockets," by The Freshies
Released 1980 or '81, I saw them on TOTP. I don't have the lyrics sorry, and can't find them online, but they included lines such as "I'll spend the four minute warning sippin' champagne with a bird on me knee"

Microsoft Sold 507,000 Xbox 360 Units, Nearly Doubles Wii And PS3 In June
By Goncalo Ribeiro | July 16th, 2011
According to new market data, Microsoft managed to sell 507,000 Xbox 360's in the month of June, selling nearly twice as many as other current-generation competitors. This is a positive outcome for the 6-year-old console.
This data was released by NPD, a market researcher, and later confirmed by Microsoft itself in a press release. Despite slowing demand for consumer products throughout this year, the console has managed to continue to grow year-over-year, while its competitors showed a decline.
Xbox 360 was the only console in the U.S. to show year-over-year growth in the month of June
In addition to console sales, this research also reveals interesting data regarding console usage: more specifically, how much money existing users have spent on games and accessories. The figure is as much as $350 million, more than any other console this month. The most sold titles in June were L.A. Noire, Duke Nukem Forever, NBA 2K11 and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Microsoft has stated that it does not intend to steer off this path and plans to make 2011 the best-selling year for the Xbox 360 in history while maintaining its edge over its competitors, such as Sony and Nintendo. According to the company, several factors will help take forward the console's momentum, such as its game portfolio, which is expected to triple by year's end.
The size of the Kinect games portfolio will triple by the end of the year, and Xbox will bring new partnerships like UFC and Disney to the platform as well as blockbuster games, movies, music and TV together in one place.
The Xbox 360 was released with much fanfare in the fall of 2005, having shipped as many as 1.5 million consoles by the end of that year. Since then, the 360 has evolved to become not only a gaming console, but a consumer entertainment hub as well. Over the last few years, many entertainment features were added, such as built-in Netflix support and a brand-new user interface that many argue is more targeted at consumers and less at hardcore gamers, with new social features. Nonetheless, the console keeps attracting many game developers and serious gamers alike.
The launch of a slimmer Xbox 360 last summer has also contributed to he console's steady adoption over the last year, while both Nintendo and Sony have seen drops in profits. A next gen Xbox 360 however, is expected to be announced at E3 next year.

Cybersecurity in the Healthcare Sector in the Age of COVID
Home > COVID 19 > Cybersecurity in the Healthcare Sector in the Age of COVID
COVID 19Cybersecurity
Angela Petteys
Tuesday, December 15, 2020, 1 month ago
The word "unprecedented" has come up a lot these days, but as cliche as it sounds, these truly are unprecedented times when it comes to security in the healthcare sector. As was the case for countless other industries, healthcare organizations were suddenly forced to find ways to make care available virtually. And while this move was essential, it also made healthcare a prime target for criminals.
Flaws in the System
Even before the coronavirus pandemic began, healthcare organizations already faced a high risk of cybersecurity attacks and the pandemic not only exacerbated existing security issues, it created new ones. The urgent need to start working remotely introduced a slew of new vulnerabilities that hackers are only too willing to exploit. Between February and August 2020, HIPAA-covered entities reported 192 large-scale data breaches to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights, more than double the number that had been reported in the same time frame in 2019.
As the pandemic grew, restrictions on HIPAA enforcement were temporarily eased to accommodate surging demand for telehealth services, making it possible for medical professionals to meet with patients using programs like Zoom and Skype without penalty even though those programs would not have been HIPAA compliant before the pandemic. Further, many healthcare organizations took steps like loosening restrictions on firewalls to make it easier for people to work remotely.
Simple human error represents another serious security flaw. Given the overall strain on the healthcare system during the pandemic, many healthcare workers have been exhausted trying to keep up and when people are feeling overwhelmed and tired, they're more likely to make mistakes. Ransomware has been particularly problematic for the healthcare sector throughout the pandemic because cybercriminals know that these organizations are essentially easy targets. Being locked out of their systems at a time like this would be disastrous, which means they're likely to pay up to regain access as quickly as possible. And all it takes to launch a ransomware attack on a healthcare organization is a phishing email reaching the right harried person.
Phishing and ransomware attacks are among the most common types of cybersecurity threats aimed at healthcare organizations, but while these schemes are most typically associated with emails, they can also involve voicemail. The National Law Review writes, "Some health care organizations are using legacy phone systems known as Private Branch Exchange (PBX) to automate calls and record voicemail messages that are sent to users' inboxes so employees don't miss important messages while working remotely. The scheme involves the attackers spoofing messages from the PBX system and informing an employee that they have a new voicemail message. To hear the message, the user is directed to a website that spoofs PBX integrations with the aim of stealing credentials. The hackers rely on the fact that users have the same access credentials across multiple platforms, which may contain personal or proprietary information."
What's at Stake With Cyberattacks
Not only can cybersecurity attacks lead to sensitive patient information falling into the wrong hands, but it can also potentially cause long-term harm to the doctor-patient relationship and jeopardize the quality of patient care. In Cybersecurity Risks in a Pandemic, it's noted that once a data breach occurs, patients may be reluctant to disclose certain parts of their medical history in the future. And if a cyberattack results in networks being taken out of commission, the longer a system is down, the longer employees are unable to access vital patient information.
As valuable as patient information can be to cybercriminals, it's not the only thing at risk right now. With so much research and development going into things like COVID-19 vaccines and the virus in general, that information can also be a lucrative target. It can also impact the ability of organizations to convey important information to the public, such as when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website became the target of a DDoS attack.
Finding a New Way Forward
Coronavirus certainly isn't the first global pandemic in history, but in this case, it's not always easy to draw on experiences the healthcare sector went through during previous pandemics and use them as a frame of reference. The coronavirus pandemic is most commonly compared to the 1918 flu pandemic, and while there are lessons that can be learned from the 1918 pandemic, the 100+ year gap between the two events means the past doesn't offer solutions or insights to all of today's problems.
In 1918, problems like HIPAA compliance, cybersecurity, and data breaches were several decades away from existence so there simply isn't much existing research into cybercrime in healthcare during pandemics of this scale. Generally speaking, cybercrime tends to increase during any event that brings on heightened emotions and uncertainty, like natural disasters and other tragic events, so the increase of cybercrime that came with the coronavirus pandemic wasn't necessarily unexpected, but that doesn't make it less concerning.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, government agencies including CISA, HHA, and the FBI have all issued guidance to healthcare providers to help them protect themselves against cyberattacks. While some of the advice they offer can be used by anyone to prevent cyberattacks even if they don't work in the healthcare sector, like routinely changing passwords, not using the same passwords on multiple sites, and regularly installing computer system updates, it's particularly important for healthcare organizations to make sure data is routinely being backed up with data backups being kept offline to make it easier to get back up and running if you are attacked.
Wachler & Associates, P.C. emphasizes the importance of including employee education as a key part of a cyberattack mitigation strategy. In the case of ransomware attacks involving phishing, it's very important for employees to be educated about how to spot phishing emails, as well in how to respond if they believe they've been hacked. In some cases, emails sent as part of a phishing scheme can look very deceptively authentic, even to people who know what to look for, so training people about how to respond to a potential attack is a crucial part of the process.
It remains to be seen how, exactly, the coronavirus pandemic will shape the healthcare sector in the long term. But as we continue to work our way through this crisis, the lessons we learn in regards to security will allow us to improve patient experiences and build a stronger future for technology-driven healthcare solutions.

#154: 5 Reasons Your Mailing List Isn't Growing
Week after week, coaches ask in our Health Coach Power Community Facebook group about growing their mailing list. Sometimes it's slow going, huh? In this episode, Michelle shares 5 things she's noticed are often happening when a coach is struggling to build a list. How many are happening to you? Be sure to join our upcoming, free training event to Multiply Your Mailing List (Without Paid Ads!) at http://HealthCoachPower.com/multiply
Subscribe to these episodes on YouTube, or:
Hello, health coaches. You know, every week inside of our Facebook group, I hear health coaches saying that they need help growing their mailing list. So it's like, why is it such slow going with the mailing list growth? Do you ever think like this is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. So today what I want to do is. There are five things that I've noticed often happening when a coach is struggling to build a list. So if you're here live, please go ahead and say hello in the comment area and ask your questions as we go along. Cause this is a pretty juicy topic. And if you want more on building your mailing list, I have a free event coming up in just a couple of weeks. This is a good one. You guys, it is so jam packed. It's called multiply your mailing list without any paid advertising.
That's right. You can do it for free and you can sign up for this event for free at healthcoachpower.com/multiply. This is going to help you out when you're like, I feel like I've done everything and I still can't get names on my mailing list. I know why. And we're going to fix that. So go ahead and sign up for that. now athealthcoachpower.com/multiply. Now, as for our five reasons that your mailing list isn't growing, let's dive in.
Okay, reason number one. And I don't know if this is true for you, but again, I'm just guessing based on what I see inside of our community. But, do you have a freebie to offer? Like right now, do you have something that you can be offering for free in exchange for an email address? And it could be anything. It could be that you have an event coming up that's free, like a webinar or a five-day challenge or an e-course or whatever.
It could be a PDF download. It could be a guide. It could be a checklist of some kind. It could be a meal plan. Do you have something like that? You have to give people a reason to join your mailing list. So what most new coaches do? There's a spot on your homepage of your new website or something, and it says, join my mailing list. Nobody's joining your mailing list. Nobody really wants to be he on another mailing list. That is the sad truth of it. Do you, do you want to be added to a bunch of people's mailing lists probably not join when there is an incentive to join. So if you, I don't have a freebie to offer. You're going to want to start thinking about what would act as a great incentive to get somebody, to give you their email address.
And if you don't have any ideas about this, don't worry because inside our multiply your mailing list event, coming up in a couple of weeks, I'm going to give you a ton of ideas. I'm to showing you examples. I mean, you guys, right before I got on the air to record this podcast episode right now, I was getting all that material ready for the event. And we have so many ideas for you, but at the heart of it, you need to be able to offer an incentive or else probably nobody's going to join your mailing list. Okay? So that's first and foremost, if you already have a freebie, tell me in the comments and why not tell me what your freebie is. Maybe you have something coming up this summer. I would love to hear about it. Cause I like to keep a pulse on what everybody is working on the best that I can.
Okay. Moving on to reason number two that your mailing list may not be growing. Let's say you have a freebie. Let's say you have something and nobody's opting in for it. Nobody's giving you the email address. So the question to ask becomes why isn't this freebie working? And that is a layered question. I get this a lot from coaches. I have a freebie, but nobody is signing up for it. And the assumption is the freebies. No good. This was a bad idea. And that's not necessarily true. There are so many different reasons that your freebie may not be working for starters. Are you getting it out in front of lots of new people all the time? Because if you're just posting it to Facebook, like once every three weeks, that would be a reason that your freebie isn't working, um, or you putting out in front of people again and again, but it's the same people, your freebies not going to work.
If you keep offering it to the same people, because the 5% of them that are interested. I mean, statistically speaking, they've already signed up. So when you keep offering it to same group of people, they don't want it. You got to get your freebie in front of new people. Again, this is something we're going to be talking about during our multiply your mailing list event, how to do exactly that. Now let's say that you are getting, you're free to be out to a ton of people on lots of new people. And, oh my goodness, you're all over the place with this freebie. And yet still, maybe you can look at your stats, which you can, and you could see that a thousand people visited the page to get your freebie, but only three of them signed up. Oh no. Okay. But that's really good information because that would mean you're doing a good job.
Getting people to the page, people are interested. Nice. You're reaching them. They're interested. They're clicking a link. They're landing on the page, but they're not giving the email address. Now. You know where to look for the problem it's on that page. Sometimes it has to do with the headline or the copy on the page. Sometimes it has to do with the layout of the page, right? Sometimes it has to do with some sort of tech problem on the page. For example, maybe your page isn't working properly. There are so many different things to look at, but you would know based on those numbers, that there's some kind of problem on the page itself. So I would look at all those different things. How is the design of this page working for, or against me? How is the headline? The copy on this page? What's the call to action?
Is it very clear how somebody can sign up? Am I asking for too much information? Sometimes I see health coaches putting together their first opt-in page and sometimes they want to collect first name, last name, email address, phone number. No, no, no, no, no. Just first name and email address. We don't want to create any barriers for people to sign up. We don't want to make it difficult for them. So that would be the next thing to look at. How is this page actually working? And then another thing that just came into my head and another reason you may not be getting as many people on your mailing list, as you wish that you were is because you may have a double opt-in situation where people are going to your page, they are giving an email address, but in order to actually get on your mailing list, they're getting an email.
That's asking them to confirm and people miss that email. It's a really good thing to do. It is such a good practice for a clean email list. But in my experience, all my God, people are not paying attention. If they didn't immediately get the thing that they asked for, they get some other intermediate email that's asking them to confirm, and then they have to wait again. Oftentimes they will just give up or they just missed that email completely. And they don't even realize that they didn't complete the loop and confirm their email address. So after much trial and error on my side, I am absolutely happy to share with you. I have all that double opt-in stuff turned off because I have found that it is a huge barrier to adding new names to my list. So, if your freebie isn't working, there are lots of different ways that you can look at it to figure out, okay, what's exactly going wrong here, Sharon saying that her freebie is the ultimate five-day energy reset, but I'm now working on a five-day challenge.
Cool. So that sounds like Sharon, you have an evergreen freebie that you've created something that you can offer year round. And now you're working on a five day challenge. I know you are because you're inside healthy profit university and that's going to work as an event or a onetime type freebie, which you know what those tend to convert better. Cause it's just a little bit more exciting when it's like, this thing is happening on this date and you know, don't miss it. It gives people a reason to go ahead and sign up because there's that date? There's that sense of urgency, but it's good to have both. So I'm glad that you have both and it's possible to also have multiple evergreen freebies going on. You know, maybe not right now if you're new in your business, but as your business grows, I know inside my business, I have lots of different evergreen freebies.
And then I tend to have one event type freebie going on at a time. Christie says that she has a handout, 'Eat your way to hormone health' and she's looking for ideas to promote it. Awesome. Eat your way to hormone health Christie, I don't know what the headline is on that page, but I would love to look at it. Um, but I know that what you want is a headline that speaks to somebody's pain point. So this is not that I know the answer, but I'm just posing it as a question. Does your audience know that they are in search of hormone health or would they use different words to describe that? Like what do they want or what do they not want in their own words? And oftentimes that makes for a more effective headline in how you are selling this thing. Now, of course you're not selling it, you're selling it in exchange for an email address, but an email address is very valuable.
So you are kind of selling it anyway. We're going to be going over evergreen freebies, one-time event, freebies and promotion ideas for all of it inside the multiply, your mailing list event coming up in a few weeks. And I put the link in the comments here. It's healthcoachpower.com/multiply.
Okay. Let's talk more about, about promoting actually. Because I think I mentioned this a minute ago, but I want to talk more about it. Um, you need to be able to get yourself and your freebie in front of new eyeballs. So just think, how am I doing that right now? Christie, you said that you're looking for ideas to promote your handout. Well, who are you offering it to? And how could you start offering it to other groups of people that haven't already heard about it or other groups of people that are just meeting you for the first time?
I like to think of these as partnerships or sometimes I call it borrowing and audience. So you can do that type of thing. It's a strategy where you are offering something to somebody else's audience, and this can happen on social media. For example, it could be something like two people, two practitioners, two brands, whatever, doing a Instagram live together, right? That's a partnership just for that one 30 minute time slot or one hour time slot. You're going to do this Instagram live together. But if you can offer your freebie during that, you're getting exposure to that. Person's entire Instagram following. So that would be one example of something that you could do. Social media based. You could also borrow borrow audiences when it comes to giving workshops. So I used to do a lot of workshops at yoga studios. You could be doing it anywhere in your community.
You can also be hosting workshops online, but again, you don't want to host it yourself in like your living room. You want to be the guest or the expert that is being hosted for this event, at the Pilates studio at the spot somewhere else, where they're providing the audience and your showing up to provide the content and getting in front of all new eyeballs, right? So this is where a lot of coaches fall down. We create the thing and then we're like, oh, why doesn't anybody want it? You have to do the legwork of getting in front of lots of new audiences. So you want to think about partnerships on social media. You want to think about doing partnerships. IRL, you want to think about doing workshops in different places. You can be writing article articles, excuse me, where you are writing something up.
It's being published, not on your blog, but on somebody else's blog or somebody else's website. And that's a way that you can be getting in front of new audiences and you can offer your freebie within that article. And another fantastic way to do this is with podcasting again, not your own podcast, but you can show up in front of new audiences. If you can be a guest on somebody else's podcast, this is easier than you think. And very, very effective during a podcast episode, I'm sure you've listened to so many. It's very common. If it's an interview, let's say I'm the host for me to say, thank you so much for joining us today. You have a gift for our listeners. Can you tell us more about that? And then you would have an opportunity to share your freebie with everybody who listens to that show.
Excellent way to reach new people that you otherwise would never have come into contact with. So make sure that you are not only creating something really cool, but working hard to get in front of all those new eyeballs. Okay. The other thing that I want to talk about today is a reason that your list may not be growing is because I have a, I have a suspicion and I don't know if, again, I don't know if this is going to be true for all of you, but I have a suspicion because I see it happen all the time. Are you limiting yourself to social media? When you say nobody's signing up for my thing, whatever that thing is, is it because you're posting it to Instagram and you're posting it to Facebook and maybe you're posting it to LinkedIn or another place. And you think, boy, I posted this all over the place, but it's all just social media based.
I can't tell you how many new coaches in particular, I want to say in the past two or three years, I get this question a lot. Isn't there some way to promote myself that's not on social media or I hate social media and so I'm never going to be able to make a health coaching business. Where did we get this idea? You guys, I started my health coaching business practice basically before social media existed. It was like in its infancy. When I, when my business was in its infancy, I wasn't using social media to promote myself very much at all. And I took off very quickly in my practice in real life. That whole IRL thing is still very, very important. So, while social media is an amazing and powerful tool that we now have at our disposal, yes, there's also a world of opportunity like in actual life.
Isn't that amazing. And we forget about that. So think about what you're doing to promote yourself and your business day in and day out. And if everything you list off is utilizing social media or is on a screen, I want to encourage you. Get the heck off the screen. Like we were talking about, go do that workshop at the yoga studio, go show up at the natural food store and hold a talk or go show up at the library. I mean, literally anywhere do anything, but get out and meet people in real life. Not only does this expand your options, but when you meet somebody in person, they are so much more likely to become a lifelong fan than if they just happen to come across you on social media, right? Like someone on social media is a dime, a dozen, a health practitioner on social media, please.
There are way too many out there. So it means nothing. But if you are in somebody's location, you are sharing space with them. You're sharing energy with them. That's an enormous opportunity. You can be doing this in a corporate setting. You can be doing this within your local community, something within your town. I mean, the opportunities are endless. Vanessa says my opt-in is my balanced life worksheet. It has worked fairly well. Ah, I love, first of all, I'm happy that you're saying it's worked fairly well. And when you say fairly well, or when we judge is my opt-in working, it's like, what does that mean? What does that mean? Does it mean that we're putting it out there and people are opting in for it and putting your names on our mailing list? That's good. You can also look at it. Am I adding people to my mailing list who are well positioned to then book a call with me?
Are they booking a call with me? Are they turning in to paying clients? Cause that's what we really want to happen. Right? So it's like, how do you know if your opt-in is doing well? Even if you're looking at your conversion rate again, how many people come to your page versus how many people sign up? Well, what's a good rate. What's a good freight. It varies tremendously. So if it's your first time doing this and you're a little unsure of yourself and maybe you've never used the tools before, and you have like a 10% conversion rate, Bravo like good for you, right? That there's no shame in starting like that because you've started. But as you go on, like if you had a 10% conversion rate, you're going to want to shoot for like a 20% conversion rate. Next time I like my conversion rates to be above 50%.
And I really like when there were about 70 or 80%, if they're not there, I'm usually working on something to make that conversion rate go up. So do pay attention to your conversions and then also pay attention to what happens to those people. Once they're on your list, are they just sitting there doing nothing? Are they engaging? Are they the right type of people? That eventually would be somebody that makes a good paying client? So I'll give you an example. I used to do years and years ago in my health coaching practice, I used to do a lot of recipe creation and I would put together these recipe books and offer them as freebies. And that can be great, but I would do it in such a way that I would get a bunch of people on my mailing list who really didn't have a problem, a health problem.
They really didn't have a need for a health coach. They just liked healthy recipes. They liked them because, well, they were already pretty healthy. They already liked to cook. And so if I was going to give them a bunch of free recipes, cool, can you see how I would then build a mailing list full of people that are not actually well positioned to become clients? They're just people who like to gather up my free stuff and not that that's wrong, or there's a huge harm in that except well, you know what, at a certain point you do start paying for your mailing list. If you got your first thousand, your first 2000, you're on a MailChimp account, you know, it's free, but as your list grows and grows, you start paying every month. So you want to make sure you have the right people on your mailing list from the get-go Sharon saying, oh, I'll have to catch the replay. I'm having connectivity problems. No problem. We have this podcast everywhere, right? I don't know if you're able to listen on apple podcasts, you can watch on YouTube. We're all over the place.
Vanessa said, my list grew from 28 to 2 96 in two years, but not much conversion. Okay. So in two years you added about whatever 250ish people to your mailing list with that freebie. I mean, that is definitely something, but you're right. The next thing to look at is what happens to them after they've joined your list, Hey, you already got them there. That that's good. I want to say great job Vanessa because that part is not nothing like that is hard. It's hard to figure out what kind of freebie to create, get in front of the right people put together the page, deliver the freebie to them. And then of course nurture your list once they're on it.
Oh my God. That is a whole other topic. What do we do with people once they're on the mailing list? Ah, but that's not what we're talking about today. Today is really about why the list may not be growing. And so what was I saying? I was saying it may not be growing because you're limiting yourself to social media and you're not getting out in the world. I would encourage you. Let's see we're going into the summer. So in the next six months of the year, could you book two or three local speaking engagements workshops, something that you're doing where you're actually meeting people face to face? I mean, I think I hope we are on the tail end of the pandemic, most things, and most states are opening backups. And this has become a for us again, that we can go out and do things to help market ourselves.
Do it run, don't walk. These are huge opportunities and they're just waiting for you. Okay? So last but not least another reason, the final reason that I want to share with you today that your list may not be growing. Okay? This is kind of funny, but you very well maybe adding names to your mailing list, you might have that. What was it, balanced life worksheet or eat your way to hormone health or whatever it is that you're offering. And people are opting in. You are getting your names on your list, but at the same time, you're losing names and that's normal. Like you, you're going to be adding new names all the time. Your list is growing, but at what pace, and can you outpace the attrition because there's always going to be people who get your emails and they're going to hit the unsubscribe button.
So let's talk about unsubscribes for a second. Unsubscribes are kind of awesome. If somebody doesn't want to hear from you for free, what are the chances that that person wants to pay you and become a client? Very, very small, right? So, if it's somebody who doesn't even want to be on your list and they're going to unsubscribe, bye-bye have a nice day, like, see you. Love that. You know that about yourself. You know, I'm here for the people that want to hear from me. I'm here to serve them. So a lot of times it's health coaches. We can get really, really bummed out when somebody unsubscribes from our list, but don't be, they know what's right for them. And we're going to trust them that this was not a good fit, great focus, your energy on the people you have. But if you're losing people faster than you're gaining, this is another reason why your mailing list is just going to come to like a plateau.
Like how come I can't get over this number. That means that it's time to step up So, your list, building game, whatever you've been doing so far, whatever pace has been adding to your growth. It's just not keeping up with the drop-off. So you want to step up your email game so that you're adding more people to your list. And the other way to think about this would be, how could you maybe not lose as many subscribers? Again, we're always going to lose people. However, we will lose more people when we're not consistent. Are you emailing your list on a regular basis or is the list kind of sitting there for six months? And then you come out of left field with an email and half the people on your list are like, who the heck is this delete unsubscribe, right? When you're consistent and you really nurture the relationship.
Well, you're nurturing the relationship. So they're less likely to unsubscribe. They know who you are. You've been in their inbox. Week-in week-out, whatever it is, send on a consistent schedule and you will have fewer unsubscribes. The other thing contributing to losing subscribers would of course be, are you producing content that your list wants to read? This is impossible to do. If you have a mishmash of people on your list. When I had a mailing list that was full of people who just liked recipes and were already healthy, and then maybe I offered some other freebie that was for new moms. So I had a bunch of new moms in my list. And then I offered some other freebie that was around some other topic. I just had this assortment of people on my mailing list and it made it impossible to send a single email that resonated with everybody.
So of course, I'm going to get unsubscribes because suddenly if I start talking about new mom's stuff and this person's on my mailing list and they don't have kids at all, they're like this isn't for me. I'm outta here. This all goes back to knowing who you're talking to, creating a freebie. That's very specific to that type of person filling your list. That so that your list is more or less homogenous, same type of person, same type of problem this way. When you email them, it's very likely that it's going to strike a nerve and everyone on that list is going to go, yup. I need this. Yep, I'm glad I'm here and they're not going to unsubscribe. So those are just some tips for keeping the subscribers that you actually have.
Now Sharon had a question earlier. She said my list, isn't growing because I'm not putting, not putting the opportunity to get it out there, which brings me to my questions. How many free offers should we have? And, if more than one, do we rotate them? So what I have found to be very useful is to create a freebie around the top issues that my target market has, the questions they most commonly ask the problems that they most commonly are talking about during our consultations, things like that. And then yes, I could just rotate them. But typically I have one that is my main freebie, my best performing freebie. That's the one that you might see like on my Instagram profile or just the one that's always there unless I have an event coming up and then I have other freebies that I keep for the situations where they're relevant. So if someone on Facebook or wherever saying, gosh, I really need help with X, Y, Z. I can say, you know, I have a free resource about that. Would you be interested? And then they say, yes, and then I send it to them.
Or as you guys know, I do inside of our health coach power community, Facebook group, I say, hey, what do you need help with? And then when you tell me what you need help with, because I've been doing this a long time, I probably have a resource for you. Sometimes it's a downloadable freebie. Sometimes it's a podcast episode, whatever. But when the, what I'm trying to say is that when the topic comes up, I have the resource to match. So that's how I think about having multiple freebies. When there is a question I'm answering again and again, and again, that's a great topic for a freebie because the next time that question gets answered, instead, it gets asked instead of just answering it, I can say here, I have this for you. And the mailing list grows once again. I hope you all join me for multiply your mailing list. It starting in just a couple of weeks and you can sign up for free. now at healthcoachpower.com/multiply. I'll be back next week until then take care. I'll see you inside the Facebook group.

project44, a tech startup based in Chicago that offers realtime freight visibility solutions for truckload, rail, and less than truckload shipments, this morning announced the launch of its Parcel visibility product. This new offering provides API-based integrations into top domestic and international parcel capacity providers—over 115 major market and regional carriers across the globe, including FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, Royal Mail, Hermes, and Deutsche Post.
Fitting into the company's larger mission of delivering a multimodal end-to-end visibility solution powered by data, the newly launched solution further enables project44's customer base of retailers, suppliers, and logistics providers to strengthen brand loyalty, meet on-demand customer expectations, lower costs while increasing productivity, eliminate stockouts without bloating inventory, and satisfy tight delivery requirements.
Notably, this ambitious international expansion previews the forthcoming global reach of project44's visibility solutions for all of its other modes.
FreightWaves spoke to McCandless by phone.
"Our customers are asking them to help provide analytics and better visibility into their supply chain to improve their customer experience, and we're excited to help them throughout that journey. Most customers have some kind of digital journey they're on, and the supply chain is a big component of that. Visibility is great—it's great to say here's where the truck is, but then people ask, 'okay, it's late, that's great, but can you tell me further in advance, can you give me a warning, can I get an ETA?'" McCandless said.


Its a good experience that we can see all that we learn in production and management accounting classes even if it is at a micro level enterprise. I was astonished when I heard the facts on margins the actual manufactures take and what the so called 'middle men' like whole sales and retailers take. No wonder the middle men are called a necessary evil in the value chain!

Politická kariéra
Do ODS vstoupil v roce 1996. V roce 1998 byl zvolen za ODS starostou města Prachatice. Už v komunálních volbách roku 1994 kandidoval do zastupitelstva Prachatic, tehdy ještě jako bezpartijní za ODS. Nebyl ovšem zvolen. Do zastupitelstva byl pak jako člen ODS zvolen v komunálních volbách roku 1998, komunálních volbách roku 2002, komunálních volbách roku 2006 a komunálních volbách roku 2010. Profesně se roku 1998 uvádí jako ekonom, v následných volbách coby starosta města. V krajských volbách roku 2000 byl rovněž zvolen do Zastupitelstva Jihočeského kraje za ODS. Byl předsedou finančního výboru Zastupitelstva Jihočeského kraje.

Ve volbách v roce 2002 kandidoval do poslanecké sněmovny za ODS (volební obvod Jihočeský kraj). Nebyl ale zvolen. Do parlamentu usedl nicméně dodatečně jako náhradník v červenci 2004 (když se jeho kolega na vyšším místě jihočeské kandidátní listiny stal europoslancem). Byl členem sněmovního výboru pro evropské záležitosti. Poslanecký mandát obhájil ve volbách v roce 2006. Stal se místopředsedou výboru pro evropské záležitosti a byl členem zahraničního výboru. Opětovně byl poslancem zvolen (jako lídr jihočeské kandidátky) ve volbách v roce 2010. Zastával pak post předsedy výboru pro evropské záležitosti, v letech 2010–2011 byl i členem výboru pro obranu a bezpečnost, zasedal ve výboru organizačním a od března 2011 byl i členem zahraničního výboru. V období květen 2010 – květen 2011 působil ve funkci řadového místopředsedy poslaneckého klubu ODS. 11. května 2011 byl zvolen prvním místopředsedou poslaneckého klubu ODS.

V letech 2003–2004 byl členem Výkonné rady ODS. Je předsedou Oblastního sdružení ODS Prachatice a místopředsedou Regionálního sdružení ODS jižní Čechy.

Některé nevládní organizace a také opozice na prachatické radnici Bauera viní, že v případu Lázní svaté Markéty jednal v příkrém rozporu s výkonem funkce veřejného činitele a město pod jeho vedením nenávratně přišlo o pozemky. V roce 2001 založilo vedení Prachatic po odsouhlasení zastupitelstvem se skupinou podnikatelů (Pavel Mádl a Erik Foltýn, později Ladislav Marek) společnou firmu Léčebné centrum svaté Markéty, a. s., v níž město po vložení osmihektarového pozemku mělo 50% podíl. Ten se postupně navyšováním základního jmění snížil na pouhých 15% a město tak prakticky ztratilo kontrolu, přestože členem představenstva společnosti byl z pozice prachatického starosty také Bauer. Valná hromada společnosti Léčebné centrum sv. Markéty odhlasovala 30. června 2009 vstup nového akcionáře – firmy Rilon, patřící do portfolia lichtenštejnského občana Markuse Haslera, který sehrál významnou roli v tzv. toskánské aféře.

V krajských volbách v roce 2016 byl zvolen zastupitelem Jihočeského kraje za ODS. Ve volbách do Poslanecké sněmovny PČR v roce 2017 byl zvolen poslancem ODS za Jihočeský kraj. V komunálních volbách v roce 2018 obhájil post zastupitele města Prachatice, když vedl kandidátku tamní ODS.

V krajských volbách v roce 2020 obhájil za ODS post zastupitele Jihočeského kraje. Ve volbách do Poslanecké sněmovny PČR v roce 2021 byl z pozice člena ODS lídrem kandidátky koalice SPOLU (tj. ODS, KDU-ČSL a TOP 09) v Jihočeském kraji a obhájil svůj mandát.

V komunálních volbách v roce 2022 obhájil jako lídr kandidátky subjektu "Občanská demokratická strana s podporou TOP 09 a nezávislých kandidátů" mandát zastupitele Prachatic. Dne 24. října 2022 byl zvolen starostou města Prachatice.
