Sneaker Shootout Miami (SSOM), a company that hosts events for sneaker enthusiasts to compete and share their creations, today announced its 5th anniversary with Walk This Way – Battle of the Sneaker Gawds (WTWV). The event will take place during the Art Basel festival on December 2nd at 2127 NW 1st Avenue in Wynwood, Florida 33127.

‍
Walk This Way creator and Sneaker Shootout founder King S. Jewell, a self-proclaimed "Sneaker Gawd," created the event to highlight and pay homage to sneaker enthusiasts like himself.

‍

"While speaking with other sneaker collectors, it was brought to my attention that there was no real presence of a sneaker community represented here in Miami," said Jewell. "I also believe that sneakers, fashion, and art go hand-in-hand, and should be recognized on a larger scale. This is my humble attempt to integrate the sneaker world with the art world."

‍

As other loyalty re-launches like Dunkin’ vex customers, Kneaders boasts growth of enrollment, online sales, and points redemption.

‍

Kneaders, the Utah-based, award-winning, fast-casual bakery and cafe chain, announced today the results of its revamped loyalty program in partnership with Thanx, the leading loyalty and guest engagement platform. The re-launch of Kneaders' loyalty program allows the brand to leverage the entire suite of enhanced platform capabilities now available with the release of Thanx’s new loyalty 3.0 engine.

‍

Customer response to the new program has been overwhelmingly positive, with a 50% increase in average weekly enrollment, a six-figure month-over-month online sales growth, and over 3 million points already redeemed by customers.

‍

The new program gives guests the flexibility to redeem points for over thirty different rewards items directly within the brand’s digital rewards marketplace. Just for signing up for the relaunched program, members earn a free chocolate mousse dome pastry. The large variety of rewards available to members within the rewards marketplace levels up the loyalty experience, giving guests the option to choose more relevant perks or menu items based on their preferences. For example, program members can redeem points for pastries, salads, and sandwiches, while guests who reach the “Gold” and “Platinum” tiers earn $1 select drinks all day.

‍

Kneaders customers can reach three different program tiers—including gold and platinum—that offer access to exclusive menus with secret menu items and perks at the highest tiers. Kneaders plans to regularly update their rewards and top-tier offerings to drive excitement and keep guests regularly engaging with the program. Kneaders was careful to retain fan-favorite elements of their prior program, including a free pastry automatically awarded to loyalty members on their birthday.

‍

Changes in loyalty programs have been highly contested as of late, most notably with the viral customer backlash to Dunkin’ Donuts’ loyalty program for the brand’s sudden devaluation of points. Kneaders’ credits the successful relaunch of their program to the flexibility and ease-of-use of Thanx’s loyalty platform. With Thanx, the brand has been able to introduce a variety of both discount and non-discount rewards to protect profit margins while still delivering a highly engaging program to customers.

‍

With Thanx’s loyalty engine, brands like Kneaders can change rewards and adjust points values directly in the digital marketplace in response to market shifts. This ability to iterate avoids abrupt overhauls of their program, which can catch consumers off guard as was the case for Dunkin’ Donuts customers.

‍

“We have a strong loyalty base at Kneaders Bakery & Cafe, and this program re-launch was designed to delight them with a generous rewards base and custom rewards throughout the year," said Bailey Scoville, Kneaders’ VP of Strategy, on the success of the new program. "The Thanx team was a resource to us every step of the way, from analyzing customer feedback and consulting on program design to ensuring a seamless transition on launch day. We saw an almost immediate spike in membership and point redemptions following the re-launch. We are thrilled our loyal customers are enjoying the new program, which wouldn't be possible without our partnership with Thanx.”

‍

Boredom Eraser, a website providing busy parents an all-in-one search engine for finding great deals on kids' activities from local businesses, as well as the ability to book and pay all in one spot, today announced its launch. Boredomeraser.com is a one-of-a-kind platform that vets and verifies each business to assure they have a good safety record so that parents can have peace of mind.

Parents can register for free and search for anything they want to set up for their kids, such as tutoring and dance lessons. The website was started by Marta Drausel, a mom of three girls who was tired of endless searches across multiple websites to find special deals on activities for her daughters. She knew there had to be a simpler, more efficient way.

"That was the start of Boredom Eraser," says Drausel. "We are filling a gap in the market. With my marketing background, I know how to connect with and put businesses in front of their target audience, while also helping busy moms find and connect to kids' activities and deals. Whether it's a day off of school or a special event like a birthday party, now millions of parents can benefit from one-stop, stress-free planning."

Businesses also benefit from being a part of the Boredom Erase platform. Boredom Eraser provides businesses with a dashboard where they customize their information, waivers, services, schedule, and prices and can run deals at any time that will be searchable by zip code or category. Because businesses will be in front of parents who are actively searching for kids' activities and deals, it's also helping them to increase their marketing reach and revenue.

Cyber Domain Ontology, a project dedicated to developing and promoting the adoption of a community-developed ecosystem for standardized information representation across the cyber domain, today announced the release of a cyber standard to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of cybersecurity and cyber-investigation operations.

‍

To combat cybercrimes and cybersecurity incidents effectively, it is essential to advance automated correlation across diverse data sources and intelligent analysis of structured information. This can be enabled using a shared smart "cyber language" to express and exchange information. To this end, the release of CASE/UCO version 1.0.0 in August 2022 provides a stable foundation for interoperability and advanced analysis across a broad range of cyber domains, including digital forensics, incident response, cyber risk management, computer/network protection, supply chain security, and threat intelligence.

‍

Organizations around the world are adopting CASE/UCO, and developers are adding CASE/UCO support to their digital investigation tools, including MSAB. The automated normalization and combination of multiple data sources create new opportunities for correlation and investigative intelligence, as already demonstrated by Siren.io. Responding to cyber attacks and investigating cyber crimes often involves multiple organizations, sometimes in different countries. To avoid miscommunication and missed opportunities, they need a common cyber language to share information in a manner that maintains its meaning and context.

‍

“Automated correlation and analysis of data from multiple sources depend on a common language, even within a single organization with diverse security systems or an investigation involving multiple sources of digital evidence,” said Eoghan Casey, Chair of the Technical Steering Committee that oversees CASE and UCO. “In a cyber security context, feeding the findings from EDR and XDR systems into automated incident response and digital forensic processes while maintaining provenance helps organizations analyze and resolve problems more quickly and comprehensively at a lower cost. In a cybercrime context, exporting evidence from various tools into a single standardized repository while maintaining provenance helps agencies conduct investigations more efficiently while maintaining quality.”

‍

The power of CASE/UCO is that it provides a common language to support automated normalization, combination, and validation of varied information sources to facilitate analysis and exploration of investigative questions (who, when, how long, where). Systems that support CASE/UCO facilitate the correlation of differing data sources and exploration of investigative questions, giving analysts a more comprehensive and cohesive view of available information, and opening new opportunities for searching, pivoting, contextual analysis, pattern recognition, machine learning, and visualization.

‍

“Widespread adoption of this shared cyber language is essential to create a culture of common comprehension and collaborative problem solving across cyber-investigation domains, including corporate cyber security, criminal investigations, and intelligence operations,” Casey says.

‍

CASE/UCO is vital to streamlining the exchange of information in day-to-day cybersecurity and cyber-investigation operations. The language also facilitates data mining and machine learning by providing a structured representation and processing digital traces. CASE/UCO ensures traceability throughout the treatment of data and keeps track of associated contextual information including when, where, and who used which tools to perform investigative actions on data sources. In addition, CASE/UCO supports data marking for sharing information at different levels of trust and classification, and for protecting sensitive and private information.

‍

Development of CASE (Cyber-investigation Analysis Standard Expression) and UCO (Unified Cyber Ontology) began in 2014. In 2021, in response to international interest, this initiative became an open-source standard under the Linux Foundation, with hundreds of participants in the industry, government, and academia around the globe. Virtually all innovative digital companies are members of this foundation, which assists with innovative open-source projects. Today, over 50 organizations from some 20 countries are involved in the development and implementation of CASE/UCO, including government agencies, businesses, and universities.

‍

The project welcomes anyone interested in improving the possibilities for responding to cyber-attacks and crimes involving digital evidence. For more information, visit https://cyberdomainontology.org.
