How digital marketing can help local banks attract – and keep – customers

By
  The days of most companies solely turning to print media and television ads to market their products and services are long gone. But some community banks have been slow to get the message and are missing out on instituting strong digital and social media strategies to draw and retain new customers. “In general, banks have a case of marketing myopia. They are fixed into the rhythm and routine of what they’ve done in the years past,” said Jacques Hart, CEO of Miami-based Roar Media. “However, the media and social media landscape has been turned upside down and a 'years-past mentality' doesn’t cut it.” Because of regulations in place to protect customer and bank information, a financial institution has to be very cautious with its marketing, and that can slow a bank’s social media strategy.

Holika Dahan is a Hindu festival celebrated on the night before the festival of Holi, which usually falls in the month of March. It is also known as Chhoti Holi or Small Holi. On the day of Holika Dahan, people light a bonfire in the evening and gather around it to perform religious rituals. The bonfire symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and the burning of the bonfire signifies the burning of the demoness Holika, who tried to kill the young Prahlad, a devotee of Lord Vishnu, but instead got burnt to ashes. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy in various parts of India, especially in North India.

It's now possible to 3D print objects using living human cells

By
If a company called BioBots has its way, next-generation 3D printers won't make knickknacks out of colorful plastic, but will instead make functioning human organs. The company's 3D printer, called BioBot 1, is officially available for purchase; it manufactures objects out of living cells. This is only the latest in a line of happenings that suggest medicine stands to benefit great from 3D printing technology. An Australian company successfully printed a new ribcage for a cancer patient in Spain. The Open Hand Project has been underway since 2013 to create a fully functioning 3D-printed robotic prosthetic hand. Lee Cronin, a professor at the University of Glasgow, is the thought leader behind an eventual “computer” that might be able to print any drug on demand.
