Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) March 14, 2012

Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Baltimore Choral Arts Society in a concert featuring popular favorites from musicals such as Les Misérables and Miss Saigon on Thursday, April 19 at 8 p.m. at the Music Center at Strathmore, Friday, April 20 at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 21 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 22 at 3 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Entitled “Do You Hear the People Sing,” this program celebrates music by two of the world’s most prolific writers of modern musical theatre, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, whose masterpiece Les Misérables is the longest-running musical in the world. Please see below for complete program details.

Based on a classical novel by Frenchman Victor Hugo, the cherished story of Les Misérables has captivated audiences for nearly a quarter century. The musical has been translated to 21 different languages among 41 countries and seen 43,000 professional performances to an estimated audience of 55 million people. Among its most memorable songs are “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home” and “Do You Hear the People Sing.”

Considered Schönberg and Boublil’s second major success, Miss Saigon is a modern retelling of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly – the American Lieutenant replaced by a GI, and Japanese geisha by a Vietnamese bar girl. The soul-stirring story of Miss Saigon confronts such issues as war, love, family, and death. At its highly anticipated Broadway opening, the musical broke the Broadway record for advance ticket sales at $ 24 million.

Choral Arts has two other recordings in current release: “Christmas with Choral Arts” and a live recording of the Rachmaninoff “All-Night Vigil.” Mr. Hall produced “Let Freedom Ring!,” a highly successful recording for Gothic Records featuring the Washington Men’s Camerata, as well as the soundtracks for “Legends” on the Learning Channel.

Gaming Community Launches Viral Charity Stunt In Response to Kony 2012 Backlash

(PRWEB) March 27, 2012

The project, called ‘Operation ShareCraft’, has only just launched and already has an army of gamers raising funds at a pace of $ 10,000 per day. With an array of stunts, videos and livestreams planned for the coming 100 days, it looks like they are well on pace to hit their donation target of $ 1 million. Already a remarkable achievement, since ShareCraft’s participants are mostly students who have figured out a way to do fundraising on a level that normally requires the social and financial superpowers of Hollywood celebrities. By comparison, ShareCraft’s army of gamers has raised in a single day for Save The Children what took Tony Robbins 3 weeks to raise for Kony 2012.

The trick is that ShareCraft is competitive. Gamers and participants who want to top the leaderboard can create their own personal sub-fundraiser with just a few clicks at OpShareCraft.com. The system creates a snowball-effect where donations to sub-fundraisers trigger donations to others as participants battle for higher rankings. Everyone can link to their own sub-fundraisers to involve friends, family, followers and fans. All these features are provided by Fundrazr.com, who unlocked the leaderboards specifically for ShareCraft (and will soon roll them out for everyone) when they were approached about the project by world-famous gaming and YouTube icon Chiren Boumaaza, aka ‘Athene’.

Having gamified online fundraising, ShareCraft hasn’t even been announced for 24 hours yet and already has a vibrant community making videos, doing livestreams and organizing fundraisers to compete with each other on the leaderboard. If this becomes a trend, ‘Athene’ says, “it could change fundraising in ways similar to how Facebook and Twitter changed social networking”.

Answer by Kathy
Many home-based businesses not only have good products that you can retail, but you can also build a team (mlm) as well and earn residual income. I like this idea because while you are building your team, you can also earn money at the same time retailing. If you would like more information about the home business I am involved in, check out my profile or email me.

Answer by noceur
Leads are just potential buyers. People in the MLM que.

MLM works like this:

An offer is made
- online or in print etc.
– becomes an email lead if person says contact by email preferred
– becomes a phone lead if person says contact by phone preferred

MLM leads
- trickle down is when your up-line sends you a customer

Yes you could consider Yahoo Answers as a place to source leads however Yahoo Business is a better place for it as it allows for an opt out using their opt in opt out system.

By providing your phone numbers and email you are becoming a lead to other MLM practitioners.

I hope this helps
