7 Branding & Marketing Tips For Small Business Owners Just Starting Out
Once you have decided that you want to start a business, you are going to have to figure out what your business stands for and how you are going to make money. Since your brand is an extension of you and how you market that brand will determine how long you stay in business, it is extremely important that you create a viable marketing plan so your ideal client will know about you and your products and services and vice versa.
Christine St.Vil and Julian Kiganda, sisters and co-authors of Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? 12-Steps to Uncovering the Woman You Really Want to Be and owners of Moms N' Charge and Bold & Fearless, respectively have over 20 of years of combined experience in marketing and branding as small business owners.
They shared their tips for marketing and branding your business. Here are three of Kiganda's tips about branding:
Have total clarity on your WHY. So often, we get into business because we see an opportunity that is too good to pass up, but we're not always clear on WHY we really want to get into business. The opportunity is less important than the WHY. Why? Because your WHY defines your passion. Your WHY defines your mission—the foundation of a successful company. Your WHY defines your commitment. Your WHY will keep you pushing even when you feel like giving up.
Know who you are. When you know who you are, you understand your value. As it's been said: You don't get paid for the work you do in an hour; you get paid for the VALUE you bring to that hour. How can you know your value if you don't know who you are? I've found that taking the time to get clear on who I am, what I want and what I deserve, has helped me become much more focused and clear on the direction in which I want to take my business. Because of that, I can resist the wrong opportunities—no matter how good they look—because they are not aligned with who I am or the vision I have for my life.
Deliver on your promise. There is no faster way to destroy your brand than by making promises to customers and clients that you don't keep. In this age of social media, it is more important than ever for your brand to deliver. Providing consistently great products and customer service is one of the best types of marketing there is!
Here are St. Vil's top marketing tips for new entrepreneurs:
Focus on relationship building. The money is in your relationships. People refer business to those they can vouch for, those who they know, like, trust and will go the extra mile. Build relationships that matter and surround yourself with people who you can learn and grow from.
Focus on creating and sharing great content that your audience wants/needs/will benefit from. When you focus your marketing on giving rather than receiving, you will inevitably attract clients/prospects. Don't make it all about you and what you have to share (sell). Make it about your target audience and what they need, focus on their pain points and strategies to solve them.
Tell your story. People connect to the mess behind your message. Everyone has a story. Until you can face your own and share it with others, it will prevent them (your true audience) from connecting with you. Allow your story to put you in a position of authority and increase your credibility. Do you relate more to those who have never gone through struggle or those who show that they've gone through struggle and show you how you can overcome it like they did?
When your business grows, make sure your head stays the same size. Stay humble. When you become a "local celebrity," or your status in your industry becomes elevated, never forget where you came from. Have integrity with everyone you interact with because you never know how people are connected. Don't ever stop feeling like you have to stop being humble because you've "made it."

'America's Next Top Model's Raelia Lewis & The Difficult Rise To Modeling Stardom
For many young girls around the world, modeling is a glamorous dream, bolstered by gazing at pictures of supermodels on the pages of Vogue and practicing a signature runway walk in front of the mirror. For many young Black girls, it is even more difficult for this vision to become a reality.
It may be considered a fantasy by most, but the fact is modeling is a job and it requires business sense, hard work, and determination in order to make a living in the field and grow one's brand. Deep into the 21st cycle of America's Next Top Model, Philadelphia native Raelia Lewis is a standout, not just due to her height of 6 feet, ½ inch tall, but also because of her fierce determination to make her name known within one of the toughest industries to ever exist.
Getting her start as a model at the age of 15, Lewis began sourcing her own modeling jobs and photo shoots. "I did some local modeling and by the ages of 17, 18, I branched out and became a freelance model and started to source my own jobs and photo shoots," Lewis tells us. The work of getting her name and look noticed, much less referred, on a consistent basis was challenging. But for Lewis, the hard work was something that she loved doing. Fast forward six years later and Lewis has made it onto millions of television screens as one of Tyra Banks' Next Top Model contestants. With a curly weave makeover and tips on how to refine her runway walk, viewers have witnessed Lewis' transformation into a new kind of model — one that's discovering the power in her height, body, and mind.
Being self-aware, particularly as a Black fashion model, is important. Modeling agency founder and director Ellen Wasser-Hrin, of MMA/Model Management Agency in Pennsylvania, has seen young women and men rise in their respective modeling careers for 25 years. If you want to be a fashion model, you must have certain body measurements. "Fashion models in the major markets are typically 5'9 to 5'11 and a size 2, with measurements of 34-24-34," Wasser-Hrin says. "Features of the face should be symmetrical. However, in commercial markets there is a need for a variety of sizes and shapes. Local models do not have to be as thin as they are wanted to be in New York City."
Even with the right measurements, a perfectly symmetrical face, and endless amounts of energy and fashion sense, Lewis recommends that you focus on yourself. "It's really tough being an African-American woman in the modeling industry," Lewis says. "There aren't too many of us, ever. There is always the 'token' or 'ethnic' African-American woman model, but there are never enough of us, period. Sometimes I don't know how I should come off because I may not know what the client or agent is necessarily looking for. All I can do is walk into their offices, be confident, and not let that stop me. There are opportunities out here and I may not book every job, but I just focus on the things that I know I can do and go for it."
Speaking from the other side of the casting table, Wasser-Hrin also has some valuable advice for all women of various ethnicities that hope to realize their supermodel aspirations. "Send photos to a variety of agencies and be yourself in your pictures as well as in meetings and do not get discouraged. One must have confidence and talent in front of the camera if an agency is going to take notice and want to represent the model or talent. It is important to 'shine' from the inside out, so live a healthy lifestyle and show your personality and positive attitude at your castings. Also, never pay an agency for representation."
To a certain degree, having the "right look" requires a stroke of luck in the genetics department. Still, whether you want to see your face behind a Sprite campaign or strutting on a runway, there are fundamental elements of business that should be highly considered to put you ahead of the pack: knowing yourself (both inside and out) in order to market your brand effectively; being mindful of what is in your control and using that to your advantage; being attentive to scams; being consistent and persistent; and keeping yourself open to opportunity and change.
"Nothing worth having comes easy, no matter what you want to do in life," Lewis declares after looking back at how far she has come with her modeling goals. You just have to be willing to work and troop through anything that comes your way. You will get so many no's, but you have to want it. If you don't want it, then you won't see why it's worth it."
Nia Long Joins Regina Hall As A Brand Ambassador For White Diamonds Lustre
Nia Long has been tapped to become a new brand ambassador for the White Diamonds scent, joining Regina Hall as an ambassador for the brand.
Launched more than 20 years ago, it is one of the top-selling fragrances on the market with more than a billion dollars in sales. Some of the proceeds from her Elizabeth Taylor Fragrances are earmarked for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
Long will help introduce a new product, White Diamonds Lustre Elizabeth Taylor.
"Elizabeth Taylor said White Diamonds was her 'Diamonds In A Bottle,' and that's what Lustre really is to me – Lustre just adds that extra sparkle," said Long, who will be starring in WE tv's first original scripted drama series, The Divide, premiering Wednesday, July 16.
The company is hoping to pull in a new, younger market with Long, describing the new product as sparkling with "the energy of youth, the vibrancy of a strong personality and the mystery of what might come next."
Back in May, it was announced that Regina Hall would also be serving as a brand ambassador for the perfume. "Whenever I do red carpet looks one of the things that I like is to always make sure that there's a sense of elegance and class," Hall told us a couple of months ago. "And I felt like [Elizabeth Taylor] always exuded that."
Elizabeth Taylor launched her scent with Passion, which was an instant success and was soon followed by Passion for Men. White Diamonds was released in 1991 and has become Taylor's most successful fragrance grossing $61.3 billion globally in 2010, according to market research firm Euromonitor International.
"With the launch of her first fragrance in 1987, Elizabeth Taylor's Passion, she built a fragrance empire and one of the most successful brands in fragrance history," a statement from the company said (via CNN). "White Diamonds remains a best seller almost 20 years after its 1991 introduction, a testimony to her transcendent and enduring appeal. Our best tribute to Elizabeth Taylor will be to continue the legacy of the brands she created and loved so much."
"Branding is everything these days, but to attach yourself to something that really has a legacy behind it," Long told us in an interview just last month. Read more on that here.
PR Lessons From That Infamous Elevator Video: Keep Your Cool. You're Always Being Watched.
If you were like me when the footage showing Solange attacking Jay-Z in an elevator was released by TMZ, you were probably thinking, "What the hell happened?" While many people have theorized and expressed on the details of the night, I actually thought there were some great personal branding gems that came out of the incident.
Here are three tips on personal branding I learned from Solange, Jay-Z, and Beyonce.
1. Pick your battles wisely. This gem came from Beyonce. It's never cool to flip out in public. Though I don't know the details of what really happened, whatever it is, Beyonce chose not to react while she was "out of the house." This serves as a reminder to not only keep your composure in public, but to also decide which battles you want to fight. If you really believe you need to intervene in a situation, then do so, but be ready to justify your actions. Maybe it just wasn't worth it to Bey. That's okay. Though not everyone can be so composed, there is much to be said for the person who doesn't act up in public. Bey was sure to remember this. What will be the consequences of your reaction ? Think it through and then make your decisions.
2. Don't act a fool in public. I think this one is a given. Unless being rowdy is part of your brand or you're defending yourself against attack, it's always best to just wait until you're in private to settle a dispute. Solange probably didn't think there were cameras in the elevator, but guess what? Cameras are everywhere. Many times we don't stop to think about who (or what) is watching us. Though it may have be hard to control your emotions all the time, it's never acceptable to act out like that, especially in a public place. It just gives people reason to throw dirt to your name. Now, because both camps will probably never come out with a release that actually explains the incident, there's room for people to draw conclusions about the incident and the participants. All of the Instagram antics aren't making the speculations any better, either. Even the joint statement their reps released calling the incident a "private matter," assuring us that the two "have apologized to each other [and] have moved forward as a united family" is still not going to resolve the questions people still have.
3. Keep consistent with your image. Who really knows how Jay wanted to react when his sister-in-law started trying to beat him up? One thing we do know is that Hova was NOT about to be portrayed as a woman beater by hitting her back. If he even put his hands on Solange, many of his fans and supporters would have probably turned their back on him. Jay-Z already created the image as a man against violence against woman with his reaction to the Chris Brown/Rihanna scandal. Any other behavior would've been disastrous for him. Thankfully, it looks like he lives his image, refraining from any sort of non-verbal response (since we don't have audio) to what was going on. Though we wouldn't expect anything less since his wife speaks out on various feminist issues. If there are any positives out of this whole situation, this would be one.

Did You Catch It? 10 Brand Logos With Subliminal Messages
Don't act like you didn't know companies use non-verbal tactics to get you to buy their stuff. You do realize subliminal messages are real, right? Now this doesn't mean they've possessed your mind or anything. But the right kind of marketing has been known to entice consumers. Here's a look at 10 companies that supposedly used subliminal messages in their logos. See if you can spot them.
What We Can Learn From Lupita Nyong'o's Rising Brand
Overnight, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o has become the breakout star of 2014 awards show season. Snagging SAG and Critics Choice Awards for her film debut in 12 Years a Slave, the rising thespian has also earned fawning coverage for her razor sharp red carpet style as well as her heartfelt acceptance speeches. Add her natural, berry-black beauty and multilingual dexterity, and the Kenyan Yale grad has all it takes to be an inspiring new face—and force—for young women the world over.
We asked branding expert Julian Kiganda how she would leverage Nyong'o's status for enduring maximum impact if the actress were her client. What she told us works for any brand on the rise, and we took notes for you.
- Think Bigger Than Your Service or Product.
"She's doing an incredible job branding herself as an extremely talented, but grounded, fashion-forward actress," Kiganda says of Nyong'o. She adds, the emerging starlet should also be thinking beyond acting and fashion. "What kind of company would she want to create that would hold all of the things (products/services/philanthropic efforts) that she's passionate about outside of acting? How can she develop multiple streams of income so she's not always waiting on the next major role to pay the bills?"
- Don't Believe the Hype.
If you're an entrepreneur or aspiring to set out on your own, you've likely heard a lot about "building buzz," but in the "'Hot' today. 'Who?' tomorrow" world we live in, Kiganda says it's more important to know what to do with buzz. "Regardless of how good you are," she points out, "there comes a time when the next big thing replaces you." Her solution? "You want to strike while the iron is hot and build your brand while the doors are readily open and folks [are] anxious to usher you in." She cites Magic Johnson as a good model to emulate. "[He's] done an incredible job parlaying his celebrity into a sustainable brand on which to build a successful business."
-Embrace the Big Issues.
Leverage your business to raise awareness of challenges and issues impacting your community. Speaking specifically of Nyong'o, Kiganda says, "Lupita has a major opportunity to use her celebrity to make an impact on the issues in Kenya (or elsewhere on the continent) that matter most to her, whether that be education, women's rights, economic empowerment, etc." Kiganda gives an example of one way she could authentically extend her brand. "Because she loves bold, bright colors and patterns, I would encourage her to promote African designers who don't get the same play that the Pradas and Ralph Laurens do, but have some really incredible collections."

Branding Tips To Make Your Business Successful
Earlier we talked about ways to rebrand yourself for a new career. But what about branding your business?
When it comes to running a business the name of the game is branding because without it there would be no identity. Every company — both big and small — has a brand whether they put effort into it or not. But you need to make sure that brand is working for you and not against you. Now you are probably thinking you'll need to spend thousands of dollars on an expert to help you. But if you want to save here are some branding tips to make your business successful.
MN Business Tip Of The Day: Own A Word And Speak Volumes About Who You Are
One of the most powerful concepts in marketing is owning a word in the customer's mind. It shouldn't be a complicated word, but rather something simple that already carries a great deal of weight along with it.
For example, when you think of the word "safety," in regards to driving what do you think of? Volvo owned that word forever.
When you think of "overnight," in regards to delivery what pops up? FedEx usually, despite some recent holiday fails.
This is what owning a word in the customer's mind can do for you. To achieve this result you'll need to narrow your focus to a single word or concept. The most effective words are not only simple but also results-oriented. So it is always better to focus on one word or benefit rather than three or four. Once you have a solid footing with one benefit, customers are likely to associate your product or service with a lot of other benefits. A "safer" car implies better design, quality, and engineering.
In making your choice, remember that your word can be related to positive outcomes (cavity prevention), service-related (home delivery), audience-related (younger people), or sales-related (preferred brand).
15 Marketing Tips For A New Business

The Old Switcheroo: What Omarosa Taught Me About Brand Management
Recently we saw how Bethenny Frankel tried to get the best of Omarosa Manigault on her talk show. After losing a $10,000 bet to Manigault when some rude comments on The View were brought to light, they engaged in a quick word exchange where Omarosa had to defend her brand.
Now if you haven't seen this clip yet you have to be living under a social media rock, but in short Omarosa in her own brassy way explained why the black tax is in full effect in Hollywood. "It's different for you and I," she explained on the show. "I am an African American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business." I'm sure many black women, even outside of Hollywood would agree with this sentiment, but Bethenny's predominantly white audience found the comments to be in bad taste.
Whether right or wrong, there may be something we can learn from Omarosa regarding building a brand. On the show she made the comment, "I think it's important to understand you don't stay on for a decade in reality TV without being smart and creating a brand…" and I could not agree more.
While I was attending Howard University's MBA program back in 2010, the university decided to bring Omarosa in as an adjunct faculty member. Many students felt that this could be damaging to Howard's brand, since Omarosa was known for her shady ways and being a self-proclaimed b***h, according to her book The B***h Switch.
I — and many students — decided to make our trepidation know to the faculty, but the university's administration had its own motives and decided to move forward with the class. In the end I decided that I wanted to see for myself what Omarosa was all about and enrolled in her Global, Corporate and Personal Brand Management course.
With Omarosa as my "professor," I got a chance to get to know her professionally and personally, and took a look behind the scenes at her brand management. And she was nothing like what I saw on television. It was almost like Omarosa the professor wouldn't even sit with someone like Omarosa from The Apprentice. She was kind, articulate, patient, and, surprisingly, appeared to be very genuine. She opened up her Rolodex and had some pretty impressive people (no celebrities though) as guest speakers in our weekly classes.
Over the years it has been a challenge seeing how she is portrayed on television and how it directly conflicts with the person I came to enjoy throughout our four-month weekly night class. When I think of that person and the one on television, I'm not sure which is the real Omarosa. But what I do know is each character is deliberate.
Maybe the nice sweet side she shared as a professor is not what would have made for good ratings on The Apprentice and the backstabbing heffa we loved to hate on the reality show would not have made the positive impression on Howard's faculty that secured her teaching position and gained the respect of her students. Now I have never read her book, and since it has some of the lowest reviews on Amazon I'm sure a lot of you haven't either. But she definitely knows when to turn it on and off and it has been to the benefit of her career.
Omarosa is right: There are so many reality TV stars that have a moment in the spotlight and suddenly fall into the entertainment abyss, never to be heard from again. But to be a reality star that has actually managed to stay relevant for over 10 years displays smarts and effective brand management. Our brand should not be a mistake or something we stumble upon, whether at work, school, in our writing, on TV or in our relationships. We should be aware of what we want our brand to be and each day work to accentuate those impressions.
Although Omarosa's brand class wasn't the most educational. But my lesson wasn't in the coursework. Rather, it was seeing how she effectively controlled her brand.

Mike Rowe is so freakin' hawt! I love him!
Mike Rowe is so freakin' hawt! I love him!
Turns out Mike Rowe is pretty damn cool, and he has some good morals... not to bad for a guy as hot as him. I know this isn't your "usual" article on here, so I wouldn't be offended by people posting sexy pictures of him
I loved him... Now I love him even more!
He's right. Sadly, it probably feel on deaf ears.
So when is he coming out the closet?
Wow. Almost 3/4 of a million jobs available and nobody qualified to take them.
Do they not have 'shop classes' in schools anymore?
"he has some good morals... not to bad for a guy as hot as him"
What does that mean? Are you saying that goodlooking people usually don't have good morals? Where did you get that?
I posted these in the daddies and bears section but I thought I'd post them here as well.....enjoy these screen caps from one of the shark episodes he did:
Here's some of what I posted here (beware...there's a lot to see and the bulges are hot and bound to set you on fire. )-
^ As I said in another thread--
I see that he's hiding my lunch between his legs.
I've got a job for him- gay porn star!
I wouldn't mind swabbing his ass crack
hear he is showing all
Too bad those are fake.
Regardless, I'd suck his cock!
Not sure if this has been posted before, but enjoy.
Is it from one of the Dirty Jobs episodes, or another show?
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
^ that's really hot...
In my mind, I can "remove" the apron.
And looks like that was just a picture used to accompany a press release for a cleaning product they are putting out there.
He's got great legs!
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
I wanna see his cock.

Anyone got any stills of hsi bare ass or unedited pics of him nude from that DJ episode?
Just went through every page of this forum and I love it! Mike Rowe is a very hot man!
Nothing was shown in that "Moon" episode of How Beer Built America, there was a newspaper covering him...
And after all this time there is still no concrete evidence he has a girlfriend named "Sandy" or a boyfriend named "Jarried". I'm starting to think he is asexual.
When he got off toilet i swear his bare ass was shown He was wearing thong and you can see complete thick bulge outline of his big cock.
^ please tell us where we can find it!!!! lol
OMG.....thanks!! No, it looked like a thong. I watched it 3 times. Thong. When he was standing up his ass flashed for a sec. Thank u for finding them!!!!!!!!!! ur awesome!!!

He's got a newspaper when he's sittin but when he stands up you can see (i pcs) he's wearing a thong and u can clearly the outline of his meaty cock and is ass flashes briefly.
Love seeing him in swim trunks. Such a turn on. Can u post clip of him getting off toilet? I've been looking but can't find.
what do you all think his cum tastes like? i think sugary and a bit salty

Seattle House Is Too Small For Christmas Tree
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 21, 2012 11:16 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Forgive some people in Seattle for thinking their neighbor was a little too attached to his Christmas tree. Look at Patrick Kruger's house and you see the bottom of his tree through a window, and the top pushing through a now-damaged roof. Kruger was actually having a little fun. He broke his 14-foot tree in two and used building materials to create the illusion. His plan was to entertain the neighborhood. He said people of all ages. I'd say it was a smashing success. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Ok... please don't judge etc... but I've been having a HUGE rose slug problem this year and I'm really frustrated because I've been using the Bayer All-in-one stuff every 4-6weeks... but I still have a HUGE problem with sawfly larvae My husband has been squishing them intermittently but we're super busy getting ready for baby #2 coming in July and haven't been on top of it & don't know that we can be with the hand squishing. Are there any good solutions? They are eating my Eden, Queen of Sweeden, and Abraham Darby to BITS! Other roses in my garden and almost if not completely untouched (Queen E, Stephens Big Purple, Singing in the Rain etc). I'm sorry but I really only have time for a spray solution right now or something similarly quick (I know a lot of people here are all organic...) Can anyone help me?! Oh I'm zone 6b... not sure why it says 10 |
Follow-Up Postings:
Safer soap will kill them, but you have to get it on them, meaning spray underside of every infested leaf. Use a tank sprayer, not a squirt bottle. Next best choice would be a house and garden aerosol containing pyrethrins, which break down in a day. These are in grocery stores.(Read fine print for ingredients.) Don't use anything persistent because you will kill beneficial insects. In my yard, wasps keep the rose slugs under control. No need to spray the plants that aren't infected. As you have learned, the Bayer All-in-One doesn't work well at all. Also the insecticide in it can cause outbreaks of spider mites. If you need a fungicide, get the spray concentrate Bayer Disease Control for Roses, Flowers and Shrubs and apply it with a tank sprayer every two weeks during blackspot season. It is not widely distributed. Get it online, or maybe at Lowe's. There is only one ingredient, tebuconazole. Allow 24 hours for the soap spray to kill. |
I found spraying the bottom and top of leaves and canes with a Spinosad product worked good... Spot test leaves first to make sure they are not sensitive to the spray... Follow directions... My second choice would be safer soap which also works... |

I have found nothing works effectively apart from spraying neonics. I use thiacloprid, there are others. You shouldn't worry about being judged, you are entitled to do what works and as long as you are careful, risk to wildlife is minimal. Spraying roses, out of bloom, especially fully doubles that the bees can't get pollen from is relatively safe. Bees have other things in my garden that are far higher on their list of priorities than a rose that they can't get at. The sawfly larvae do obviously have to eat a bit of rose to die but it will soon do the trick and break the life cycle. |

We have lost one of our most brilliant researchers, and on top of that, Paul was a very nice person! I will miss our parking lot conversations and want his family to know that he was a real force of positive energy on our campus. We are lucky to have brought such a talented person to UT-Austin. My sincere condolences to Paul's family.

Paul was an extra-ordinary person, a great scientist and a good, loyal friend. His concern for his colleagues was legendary. Even he was very busy, he would always find time to reach out and help others. May be in the process he over-worked himself.
I knew him from Brown University days -- we both were PhD students there. I would like to share with all a small anecdote that illustrates Paul's character. In the winter semester of 1977, I had to present a term paper on Computer Simulations. So, I fished around for some help -- Brown was a small department then, with no body doing simulations, but I was told "the ONLY person who can explain these things to you is Paul". So, my search for Paul began but it was so hard to get him ! He was also doing a part time job at a company that sold FTIR-NMR machine. Finally I got hold of him when he was running down the staircase and asked him for a discussion. He told 'Biman, I am very busy now -- I can spend only a minute with you" and proceeded to explain the subject. He spent more than an hour telling me about simulations.
I don't remember how much it helped but his enthusiasm and the eagerness left a permanent print on my mind.
He was always busy -- at Brown he always used to run up and down the stairs -- he was slim and had long hair and sported a beard. Always smiling -- stopping long enough to say "hi".
It is a great loss for the community and for me personally -- he visited me Bangalore and was supposed to come again -- this time with his family.
We were all concerned for him but i do not think any of us anticipated this early demise.
I always thought that Paul was improving with time -- he seemed to know every thing. The more you talk with him, the smarter he appeared. But he was at the same time humble which is not that much seen these days.
I lost a very good friend. When somebody like Paul leaves, we lose a bit of our life too, and emptiness lingers.
We shall miss him dearly. My heartfelt sympathies for his wife Sharon, daughter Juliet and other family members.
5. Lewis Rothberg said on Nov. 4, 2010
Dear Colleagues,
Paul was not only a brilliant scientist but a thoughtful and caring man who did considerable public service for the community and mentoring of young scientists. In his science, he displayed exemplary intellectual curiosity and honesty and was a genunine role model for all of us. I am deeply saddened by his death and will miss him both personally and professionally.

As a fellow faculty, I knew that Paul Barbara was an incredible scientist who brought acclaim to our university. However, I knew him best for the exchanges we had on the sidewalks and in O's about our daughters who were entering college near the same time. Paul was a easy person with whom to talk. He was immensely proud of his family and delighted in talking about them.

I am truly sad to hear of Paul's passing. He was a remarkable (and tireless) scientist, and a great mentor to many of us. I first met him while I was a postdoc in 1988. Several years later, when I was a young assistant professor he invited me to stay a couple of days with him, Sharon, and Juliet in Minneapolis. We spent virtually two straight days and nights talking about ideas. It was a very inspiring visit for me and one I still think about. Paul's willingness to take a young person just starting out and extend such a generous invitation showed his love of science and his generosity of spirit.
I had the great fortune of spending an evening with him this past summer in Berkeley while attending a conference in honor of our colleague (and my mentor) Graham Fleming. Paul's warmth, generosity, and love of conversation had not waned one bit. I am sad that I and others will no longer have a chance to experience that.
Dear Sharon and Juliet-I was honored to have spent time with Paul and will think of him often. My deepest condolences.

I am shocked to hear about Paul's early demise. He was an excellent mentor and seeded in me an interest in instrumentation that I am grateful for. He had a knack for seeing the big picture and had the capacity to tie together seemingly disparate observations. His death is a huge loss to science.
15. Charles Sorgie said on Nov. 7, 2010
I went to Hofstra with Paul and lived with him for a year while we attended Brown. We drove from NY to RI together. Just moments ago, I stumbled across this news. I found Paul incredibly brilliant and incredibly funny. I can still see him demoing the circuit board he modified for the Bruker NMR in his animated way, with a big smile on his face. For all of you who have worked with him closely over the past years, I am sincerely sorry for your personal and professional loss. My heart goes out to all of you, and to his family.
16. Ralph Jones said on Nov. 8, 2010

Colleagues: I wrote this in 2006 about Paul.....I am so sad he left us so suddenly
Da Hsuan Feng's introduction of Paul Barbara who presented a talk to the public in Austin on "Nanotechnology: Solutions for Societies Greatest Technological Challenges" after the inauguration of the new $36 Million Nanotechnology Science and Technology building on November 2, 2006
I am not sure why or how I was given this enormous honor to introduce Paul Barbara, but I will not refuse it.
Ever since I came to Texas six years ago, I met many outstanding individuals all across the State. Many became truly good personal friends, and Paul is certainly one of them. Paul and his family are genuine people. You get what you see in them. He is just a very good human being.
After I met Paul, I soon found out that he and I had one thing in common: We both spent time in the University of Minnesota. I spent four years as a graduate student and he was for eighteen years a distinguished professor in the chemistry department. I guess after eighteen years, Paul wanted to find a place that is a little warmer (or a lot warmer.) So please take heart at Austin: the truly outstanding quality of the research atmosphere of UT Austin was only a partial reason why Paul was attracted to your university.
There is no question that UT Austin benefited enormously by "luring" Paul from Minnesota. What we experienced earlier today, where we cut the ribbon of the new and magnificent building known as Nano Science and Technology (NST) building, is but one of the benefits of UT Austin received in getting Paul. This $36 million building, where I am sure some of the most spectacular research and development will be carried out in Texas in years to come, was the brainchild of Paul. In the past several years, I have seen Paul eat, sleep and dream NST. His vision, coupled with tenacity to carry out details of the project, was unbelievable.
Second, Texas' nanotechnology program has made incredible strides in the past six years. No doubt, Senator Hutchison is the champion of SPRING (Strategic Partnership for Research in Nanotechnology), and now CONTACT (Consortium for Nanomaterials for Aerospace Commerce and Technology). SPRING and CONTACT have and will continue to make an international name for Texas. At the grass-root level, there are of course many people who can claim and should receive credit. Among them, I think I am not exaggerating to say that Paul absolutely stands out. I am sure I speak for all the SPRING and CONTACT folks that we thank him from the bottom of our heart for his enormous contributions.
Finally, for a scientist, doing research and seeing great results are the ultimate rewards. To this end, Paul is of course already infinitely rewarded. However, in the United States, there are two accolades which I am sure will make one feel very rewarded. One is to be inducted to be a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Paul received this accolade just this Spring (no pun intended). The other I am sure will be forthcoming!
Let me also take this opportunity to present to Paul a present which my two colleagues, Ray Baughman (who cannot be here) and Anvar Zakhidov, wanted me to present to Paul. This is a cartoon drawn by a Russian scientist during a conference in UTD a few years ago. The cartoon depicted a lamb (perhaps a graduate student) frighteningly presenting a talk, facing the blackboard, and many hungry looking wolves (faculty) staring at the lamb. On the floor, was a pile of bones. People who signed the cartoon were Alan MacDiarmid (Nobel in chemistry in 2000), Alan Heeger (Nobel in chemistry in 2000), Alexi Abrikosov (Nobel in physics in 2003) and Vitali Ginzburg (Nobel in physics in 2003).
Someday, hopefully, Paul will sign this cartoon as well.
May I present to you, Paul Barbara.

18. Ian Thomas McCulloch said on Nov. 10, 2010
I remember him cooking as if he were conducting a chemistry experiment. He measured the onions the recipe called for down to the gram and applied just the right amount of heat to ensure the desired chemical change would take place. I was kind of surprised he didn't make stir fry in beakers on bunsen burners. But I can't knock his method, because the meals I had with the Barbaras were always delicious. And dinner conversations with such an inspiring man and his wonderful family were even more enjoyable. I never left the table without something new to ponder. The world suffers a great loss in Paul Barbara, but his lessons and the love he gave to his family and friends remain in our minds and hearts forever.
19. mark ratner said on Nov. 14, 2010
Sometimes there just aren't words, and this may be one of those times. Paul was one of my best friends in science, he was a role model for nearly any scientist, he was a role model for nearly any husband and father and friend. In many ways, Paul was the model for what I would like my children to be, and how I would like to be. His enthusiasm, his warmth, his quirks, his humor, and his delight in the things that are made for delight (warm relationships, nature, his family, science when it's good, friendships always, institution building) are the things for which, in the end, we all strive.
Paul was always one of my favorite people to talk to about science, about life, about teaching, about families, and about values. He has uniquely positive ways of looking at nearly everything – remarks like, "Let's turn it around", or "On the other hand..." or "I think there's a way if we..." – those are signature Paul Barbara lines, lines that were always followed by something quirky and wonderful. He spent about four days living at my house when we worked on the centennial volume of JPC – that was a spectacular, dazzling summertime grand flight.
So now he is gone, and the pieces of the world are scattered. They are certainly scattered for me, for Paul's family, and for the world of chemistry. Paul was a very dear person, one who brightened the world for so many, one whose light will be sorely, sorely missed by all of us. For all of us who feel a hole in our lives, there is the knowledge that after a certain time, we will think back to the wonderful times with Paul – to his bike riding, to his enthusiasms, to his new visions for the way science should operate and scientists should behave, to his bigger thoughts about education, and institutions, and the society. Paul was an inspiration - the flames that he kindled will burn bright for a very long time.

I knew Paul in the 80's when I was a grad student at Minnesota. He was a dynamic and inspring teacher and researcher, and a great guy to be around. His untimely death is shocking and sad. My condolences to his family.
22. Sam Kamin said on Nov. 23, 2010
Just learned this terrible news. Paul and I were very close friends in high school and college (at Hofstra). Had a lot of great times together. Above all, Paul was so enthusiastic about life - interested in everything, loved to talk. Paul is actually the reason I ended up in computers. In 1972, he got interested in computers. Even though chemistry was his first love, he decided he would learn about the Hofstra University mainframe by reading through the manuals - about five feet worth. Twice. Typical of him. Anyway, I guess he decided I needed direction, so he got me a job at the computer center (where Charlie Sorgie, who wrote above, was already a student worker).
Lost contact for a long time, but saw him last year when he visited Champaign. Still full of enthusiasm. Too down-to-earth to brag - I honestly didn't realize what a big success he had become.
Paul was just one of the greatest guys I ever knew. My condolences to Sharon and the children.
23. Lidia T. Calcaterra said on Dec. 1, 2010
Just a month ago I was perusing information on nanotechnology and came across Paul's work and learnt that he was at U of Texas. I went into his website and was very happy to see all that he has done. I meant to jot him an email to congratulate him and also thank him. I wish I would have. I met Paul when he was a postdoc at Bell Laboratories with Peter Rentzepis. I was a graduate student with professor Schuster at NYU and was carrying out xenon heavy atom effect experiments at P. Rentzepis lab. I did not have a car and could not have reached Bell Labs had it not been for Paul. He who was so kind that every morning for a couple of months, pick me up at the bus station and drove me to Bell Labs. He also waited for me to complete the experiments of the day to drive me back to the bus station. He did that just because he was a very nice person and wanted to help a grad student. He also helped me with the set-up whenever there were problems with its functioning. A month ago, I wanted to say thank you to him. I wish I would have.
24. Ion Garate said on Dec. 7, 2010
I took his Nanoscience & Nanotechnology class back in 2006.
As a condensed matter physicist, I found his insights very interesting and original.
He was a very upbeat and approachable instructor too.
I am deeply saddened to learn about his untimely demise.
25. RosAnn Flenner said on Dec. 8, 2010
As Paul's sister - in law, we were spending a weekend with them while he was still at the University of Minnesota. His energy seemed endless, he would pop in for meals and conversations, then head back to his lab for hours on end.
I remarked one evening that he should slow down and not spend 18 hours a day at his lab. I will never forget how he suddenly stopped in his tracks, ( he was always moving) and looked at me with complete astonishment. He said, " But I love it!" My job is interesting and it pays the bills, but I can't say I love it. Those four words have been a guiding light for me as I raise my children. I wish for them the ability to have a career where they can honestly say "I love it!"
Enjoy the next dimension Paul, I'm sure thats where you were headed. We'll miss you until we catch up!
26. Jack Syage said on Dec. 14, 2010
This is so hard to fathom. Paul was a bundle of energy and enthusiasm that you thought would go on forever. Regretably since I left the world of research and laser spectroscopy to form Syagen, I have been less in touch with the community and only recently heard the news. Paul and I crossed paths in life many times. I always deeply admired his work and insights and his always finding new directions to move into. Though I was in a different area of laser spectroscopy I frequently sought his thoughts and opinions. I always enjoyed running into him at conferences and talks. But what few people know is that we were graduate students together in a very different discipline, namely NMR and CIDNP working for Prof. Ron Lawler at Brown. Being two years my senior, he took me under his wing and taught me so much ranging from Fortran to electronics to organic synthesis and of course the intricacies of NMR. He knew a lot about everything and tied all this knowledge together in unique and amazing ways. He was also a lot of fun at parties and we had our share! He was a true inspiration for me and materially shaped my career. Paul did the unthinkable and left a graduate discipline to do something very different and that was postdoc'ing at Bell labs under Peter Rentzepis in the new emerging field of ultrafast spectroscopy. That gave me the courage to get out of the comfort zone and make a big career change also going off to postdoc for Ahmed Zewail. Paul and my careers crossed many times after that. It is also humorous to me that he went to Hofstra University since when I was growing up in Uniondale, Long Island, our neighborhood was literally surrounded by Hofstra and that was my playground for many years (having Joe Namath throw passes to me is another story!). I am moved by how many people Paul knew and the relationships he kept from his early years as attested by the many rememberances above. So Paul be assured that we will all carry your spirit forward!
27. stuart zweibel said on Dec. 18, 2011
Paul and I were close friends in high school and throughout our college days. we grew apart as his commitment to science and doctoral work absorbed him. i watched his career from afar.
Paul had boundless energy and charisma and we shared a kind of merry prankster life style. Sam knows what I mean. We went across country in 1974 and Paul never stopped talking about science. He brought chem texts on hiking trips to the canadian rockies to prepare for graduate work at Brown . I brought a flute. I loved Paul -we shared a passion for the zany and unconventional. it is rewarding to know that he was able to use his energy to become a distinguished scientist. People should know that he described what he wanted to do in 1974 even prior to his graduate work. Paul had a sparkle in his eye and a smile to match. we spent two months hiking and sharing a tent in the canadian rockies soaking up the beauty and mystery of the natural world - no trail food for us but rather rehydrated exotic chinese mushrooms and dried fish things that we barely recognized that lured fellow hikers to our campfire. I cooked but paul was the procurer and inspiration.

KOLKATA: A voucher for Rs 22 in the name of Narendranath Dutta - preserved carefully for 132 years - has inspired Presidency University to claim Swami Vivekananda as an alumnus.
The authorities of Scottish Church College, from where the Swami graduated in 1883, are surprised by Presidency's claim. Both institutions - barely 2km apart on College Street - are gearing up to celebrate the Swami's 150th birth anniversary.
Narendranath Dutta had taken admission in the general stream of Presidency College in 1880. "He studied in Presidency for the whole year. His attendance and performance were fine. However, in 1881 he fell ill and could not attend classes. Rather than repeat a year, he chose to leave," said Bivas Chowdhury, secretary of the Presidency University Aumni Association.
Narendranath moved to Scottish Church College, then known as the General Assemblies Institution. College records say that he studied philosophy, English and Bengali from 1881-83 and passed his 'BA First' from here. "Naturally, he is our alumnus. I didn't know that he had studied in Presidency too," said a surprised principal J Abraham. "We have charted out a year-long programme to commemorate this landmark year," he said.
The college takes credit for the spiritual awakening of Narendranath. "As a student, Narendranath had got close to Reverend William Hastie, who taught English. It was while teaching Shakespeare in class one day that Hastie explained the meaning of the word 'trance' and it changed Narendranath's life forever," said Abraham, checking memoirs of Hastie that are treasured by the college.
After the class, Narendranath met Hastie to tell him that the word 'trance' had stirred deep emotions in him. Rev Hastie narrated to him the story of Ramakrishna of Dakshineshwar and suggested that he meet him for a "life changing experience". The rest is history.
The Presidency alumni association has a copy of the admission voucher of "Narrendra Nath Datta". Writer Shankar, who is also a scholar of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda studies, treasured the voucher for years and gave a copy to the Presidency alumni. The bill (No. 78), which says Datta paid Rs 22 for his scholarship for the year, will be shown to Governor M K Narayanan at the inauguration of the events to mark the Swamiji's 150th birth anniversary at Presidency on July 7.
A musical soiree, directed by thespian Bibhas Chakraborty, a Presidency alumnus, will be the highlight of the evening. It will have a 10 of the Swami's most favourite songs - including Mon Chalo Nijo Niketane, Hriday Basana Purno Holo, Tomarei Koriyachi Jibonero Dhrubo Tara, Nahi Surya Nahi Jyoti and Koto Dine Hobe She Premo Sanchar - along with dramatic renditions. While some of these are popular Tagore songs, some are Girish Ghosh creations and some written by the Swamiji himself.
Scottish Church College will hold a series of events through the year to remember Swami Vivekananda. By the end of July, Scottish Church College will also announce its national level seminars and conferences based on Vivekananda's philosophy of life, said Abraham. The college plans a building after Swamiji. We have applied for funds from the ministry of culture for the celebrations. We hope to hear in the affirmative soon," he said.
Writer Shankar confirmed that he had handed over a copy of the bill to the erstwhile Presidency College. He added in jest, "It seems that unless you drop out of Presidency College, you can never become a legend! Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Swami Vivekananda are two glaring examples."

Halle Berry
Gabriel Aubry
5 years
she's in her own happy world. it's obvious this new man of hers cares nothing for her either, he's only around for that baby. if she could ever realize that this world doesn't revolve around a man she'll be alright. if you notice through every photo with him they don't hold hands, he mostly walk a step ahead of her, they show no tender affection at all. he always appear to be "just there" for the kid.
that dude is already out of her life. men have a certain expression on their faces and a way of letting you know it's over. i know men well. i see it all too clear. i wish she could just be happy alone sometime, get over herself and quit sleeping with so many men. now that she has a beautiful precious gift she should focus on that. but don't spoil the kid ridiculously to the point where she's too pretty to touch the ground. also. halle needs to get that BIG baby some shoes and let her walk.

Hey, anyone know if any of the things from the kigdom keepers are real? Sercret entrance to the castle, alice in wonderland sercret passage to the castle apartment, Apartment over fire station, those kind of things.
Printable View
Hey, anyone know if any of the things from the kigdom keepers are real? Sercret entrance to the castle, alice in wonderland sercret passage to the castle apartment, Apartment over fire station, those kind of things.
I've never read Kingdom Keepers before, but I know that there is an apartment over the firestation in Disneyland. It was Walt's personal apartment and everytime he was in the park he turned the lamp in the window on to let guests know he was there. Now the lamp burns everyday to symbolize that Walt's spirit is still in the park.
Yeah i heard about the one in disneyland and was wondering if there was one in wdw
No, I dont think there is. Walt's private apartment for Disney World was planned to be in Cinderella Castle.
Yeah, anyone know if there really is a tunnel system under POTC. (If you read The kingdon Keepers you will know what i am talking about)
in disneyland or world?
Um... considering Kingdom Keepers is about Walt Disney World... I'm gonna say the latter. And to answer the main question, NO. None of it is real. Considering Walt Disney DIED before most of the Magic Kingdom was finished, and since the only thing under the Castle is Utilidors, and there are not any strange looking doors in the castle shop, I think it would be safe to say that most of it, if not all of it, is false.Now the tunnels under POTC might be another story.
tunnel doesn't go under POTC...it's just across from the main entrance to Pirates... as for the castle....there are a bunch of secret dorrs in the castle...even in the Kings Gallery. yes they lead to the tunnel and they lead to new castle suite...there are doors going into the castle and out of the castle and it's really a big maze...LOL
I wonder if the remote that sends the DHIs back home is in the Castle? lol
the kingdom keepers is all fantasy.. with the live dolls from its a small world ride and the pirates that try to take over they park..and then malficent is just a made up character even though some things in the book seem real.
I believe that it is all trrue because I dont want to believe that its not. lol. except for the whole Malifecent part. thats kinda scary =)
So there really is all those secrets tunnels in the castel THAT ROCKS! do you know if there are any in.. say pirates? I know they have the odd boat storage rooms that are here and there durring the ride, but I dont think that they do anything but hold boats.
Ask Ridley on his website. He talks to everyone. Or email him. He replied twice to me already.
I'd love to see a movie, but don't you think it would ruin the disney magic a bit? I mean, i guess you could make it PG-13... but i don't know... Also they should have a small disclaimer that this book is a mix of fact and fantasy, history and legends.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

How to stop people from bullying you forever By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
The child who was bulliedgurbaksh chahal was a an Indian American child who used to be bullied by his friends whenever he used to wear the Indian traditional turban. Usually the kid who looks different attracts bullies and this is what happened with Gurbaksh. When someone asks me for advice about bullying I usually reply back saying that he must do his best to prevent the bully from bullying him and even use force if needed but what Gurbaksh did to stop his bullies was so different. Gurbaksh found a way to silence his bullies forever and that's why I am going to tell you his story in this article How to stop people from bullying you foreverGurbaksh didn't do anything to his bullies but instead he focused on developing his computer skills until he became almost an expert at the age of 16. At this time he developed his first online business which was sold two years later (when he was 18) for 40 million dollars. At this point his bullies didn't only realize they were stupid for bullying him but they also started to feel inferior to him whenever they compared their success to his success. One of the best ways to stop bullies is to show them that they bullied the wrong person. Gurbaksh didn't stop here but he started another company which was sold in few years for 340 million dollars! Gurbaksh became a very famous multimillionaire at his early twenties and he was interviewed by operah. During the inrerview operah told him: what would you like to say to the people who bullied you? Gutbaksh replied saying: I think being on the operah show is enough. The moral of the storyDo you know what's the best way to take revenge? Make all of those who rejected you seem stupid by becoming more successful than them. When I started my online business everyone made fun of me and I felt like a fool.
