Actress Madhoo, a mother to daughters Ameyaa and Keia, is in favour of providing children freedom in their growing years.
"The way we treat our children, I feel we don't allow them to grow. We should give them full freedom. If they have any talent, any inclination or any interest, it should be encouraged," the 40 yea old said here.
She spoke at the launch Wednesday of the book "Heirs of Catriona", written by a 12 year old Anusha Subramanian.
"Heirs of Catriona" is the first of the four book Catriona Series. Singer Suchitra Krishnamurthy was also present at the event.

I'm a big fan of Daniel Pink's book Drive. It describes how organizations can align their policies in ways that appeal to people's internal motivation to create good work, do the right thing, and thinking outside the box (which is often a good and useful thing). If some problems arise in an organization as a result of push-and-pull conflicts between the leadership and the other members of the organization, some of the strategies in the book might be a graceful way to avoid a lot of this conflict while building a positive environment. You'd probably need other resources, though, if the problem is a small minority of folks who are really determined to act in a deviant way. The book doesn't really discuss this. Maybe other people would have good resources in mind for something like this?

Edges of new strawberry leaves are browned.
Can anyone help me ID the problem with my strawberries? The new leaves look like in the picture all the way from when the leaf begins to pop out of the crown.
I feel it could be fertilizer burn, can blood meal do that?
Also I've been watering with 1/4 cup vinegar to one gallon to hopefully help reduce the water ph (which is about 8 from tap). I heard people use vinegar to kill weeds but the amount I used seemed along the lines of the amount recommended to lower ph for watering plants.
You need to test the pH of the water to determine how much vinegar you need. Even two water sources with the same initial pH can need different amounts of vinegar to get to the same final pH; it all depends upon their chemistry (what's dissolved in them).
Get some pH test strips, the ones which cover a wide range of pH, and do some experimenting. Maybe a teaspoon of vinegar at a time, mix well and test. Keep going until you get to the level you want.
BTW, 1/4c per gallon seems like a lot. Not impossible but most waters need quite a bit less. My relatively hard well water needs 4t/gallon to get to pH 5.5.

Cost is a key impediment to widespread compliance with of the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2010, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg recently said, according to Reuters.

Rumors continue to swirl around an alleged federal criminal probe being conducted by U.S. prosecutors into the deadly 2011 Listeria outbreak traced to cantaloupes sold by Colorado-based Jensen Farms, which the CDC reports killed at least 33 people and sickened nearly 150 more.

FSPCA—the public-private group planning a nationwide core curriculum, along with training and outreach programs for implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act—has nothing to use for training.
Features: Cantaloupe Growers Say Yes to Regulations

Features: Effect of Canada's Food Inspector Cuts Debated
Plans to cut approximately 100 food inspector positions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency over the next three years—a move projected to save the agency some $56 million—may not have as much impact on the nation's food safety as has been claimed, according to one Canadian microbiologist and food safety expert.
Features: Proposed FDA Guidance on Nanomaterials Seen As Flawed
The FDA's proposed guidance document for the use of nanomaterials as food additives is "a step in the right direction," said a leading nanotechnology expert, but ultimately leaves the decision about whether or not to consult with the FDA in the hands of industry.

Shilo and Brittany were married this past weekend in a beautiful ceremony under a large tree with the sun perfectly setting behind them creating a golden glow. You might remember the two of them from their engagement photo session last year…they are such a great couple! It's so apparent how much they love each other and lean on each other for support and encouragement. Their wedding was such a gift to witness!
Allison Bess: Phoenix Wedding Photographer & Portrait Photographer
Scottsdale, Arizona Wedding & Portrait Photography. Allison creates modern images that her clients will love for a lifetime.
Drumroll please……introducing….Allison Bess: Nature and Fine Art Photography! I am SO excited to finally launch this new branch of my business in 2015! This year is our 7th year in the photography business and as the years have passed, I've grown as an artist, developed new skills, refined old ones and have discovered new passions and sides of myself. It's been such an amazing adventure! 2014 brought some big life changes for me, getting engaged and married, moving, and so much more. 2015 is the year of business changes and I couldn't be more excited!
The first new business improvement is the launch of my new nature and fine art store. This has been a work in progress for YEARS! I started nature work on the side probably six years ago and just for fun learned, practiced, pushed my creativity and limits and grew my portfolio. I absolutely loved it. I loved going on adventures to find new beauty in the world. Gosh our world is beautiful. The only downside was…I didn't really get to share it with anyone outside of my family and close friends! Recently, my husband and I were re-evaluating our lives as we joined everything together as one and he asked why I didn't do anything with this portfolio I've been growing for so long that I was really passionate about…so after encouragement from him and my closest people…the launch of my new store is official!
Right now, I have one featured collection of art called "Close Up". The pieces in that gallery have been created all over the world and it has a pretty good variety in it! There will be additional collections in the future that span other aspects of our beautiful planet. "Close Up" featured several of my most-favorite pieces, all of them are limited release works that will only be sold a set number of times before they're archived forever.
I am so excited about this new journey. I hope you are too! My readers of this blog have been so amazing for so many years and I would love if you all join me in the excitement for the new aspect of my business! It would mean the world to me if you share the new site with your friends and family! C'mon…go check it out! www.allisonbess.com
Here's a quick Christmas Eve preview from Saturday's wedding! It was a beautiful wedding for a very sweet couple. Merry Christmas everyone!

|Half Baths
|Property type
This is a renovated traditional townhouse where you can experience the features and lifestyle of Kyo-Machiya, the original townhouses of Kyoto. The house has been preserved in its original state and now functions as an accommodation. Whilst keeping the traditional appearance of Kyo-Machiya such as lanterns, earth floor and open-timbered ceiling, the house has been converted into a comfortable area decorated with modern Japanese "Wa"-style design. Up to 8 people can stay at one time. Please enjoy the centuries-old taste and the traditional beauty of Kyo-Machiya as long as you would like.
The house is located within a walking distance from the Shijo-Karasuma Station, Kyoto's new centre of bustle, and it's in a convenient spot with easy access to all the sightseeing ites such as the Kyoto Station, Gion and Kawaramachi area, the Nijo Castle and the Kinkakuji Golden Temple.
The first floor:
The lighting fixtures give off a modern vibe, while the long, narrow kitchen, high open ceilings, which used to be used to ventilate smoke from the furnace, and Japanese garden offer a glimpse to the Japan of years past.
The second floor:
You can peer down to look at the first floor from the lattice openings, something unique to machiyas. Traditional beams line the ceilings of the bedroom allowing guests to experience an authentic machiya.
The bathroom/washroom:
The glass paned bathroom is lined with black granite and cypress, allowing guests to relax in luxury.
The graden:
The Japanese style garden lit by round lanterns harmoniously blend with the modern interior.
The exterior:
Kyoto machiyas illustrate old-fashioned Japanese residences, which appear small from the outside but extend far in the back. Because of their narrow but long design these residences are affectionately nicknamed "unagi no nedoko" or where eels sleep.

The High Museum of Art's latest exhibit The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100 features 15 original works by Andy Warhol, including those that inspired his breakthrough pop art style. However, it's the photographs of everyday people that drew me in.
There are more than 40 photographs, all inspired by or featuring the iconic bottle. The boy selling cokes on the roadside reminds me of my own sons hawking lemonade in our front yard; and you can almost hear the music oozing out of a still life of a jazz musician's wares, the weathered instrument case with sheet music spilling out, his hat and a still smoking cigarette resting lazily atop a Coca-Cola bottle. One of my favorites is the photo of Maude Callen, a midwife working in rural South Carolina. She travels 4,000 miles a month to visit patients. It's part of a series that ran in Life Magazine, and moved readers to donate $29,000 to build a medical clinic in the area. The rest of the series shows her working, but the photo in this exhibit is a rare moments rest enjoying a Coca-Cola. The pause that refreshes.
Organized by the High in collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company, the exhibition will be presented in two floors of the High's Anne Cox Chambers wing. As visitors enter the exhibition gallery in the first-floor lobby, they encounter more than 500 contemporary 3-D printed bottles suspended from the ceiling that reference the Coca-Cola bottle's iconic design. The second floor displays feature three main areas: a section focused on the design history of the bottle, a pop art section featuring the Warhol pieces, and the photography section.

The peculiar quality of Vanity Fair, which sets it aside from the Austen adaptations such as "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice," is that it's not about very nice people. That makes them much more interesting.
Witherspoon's simply terrific, and it's amazing how quickly and easily she sheds speculation that she was too modern for the role.
Graced with Nair's loving direction, Witherspoon's radiance and that great cast, it is a treat, if somewhat less so than the novel.
Nair and screenwriters Matthew Faulk, Mark Skeet and Julian Fellowes have faithfully carried most of the main characters over from the novel but have changed its point of view.
Yet something's missing in director Mira Nair's treatment -- specifically, a point of view about the material, a compelling reason for this historical excavation beyond the fact that Reese Witherspoon makes a convincing Becky Sharp.
Despite its flaws, the movie is compulsively watchable, and few will be bored by it. It's a charming movie that falls short of greatness, but is still worth a solid recommendation.
Nair, against all odds, has injected new life into this oft-filmed tale, handily re-creating the grimy look of early 19th-century London streets.
The spirit of that most modern of 19th century heroines, Becky Sharp, remains intact, and Nair's Indian touches make for an intriguing, fresh approach.
It almost makes you wonder whether Vanity Fair is not the perfect text for a lesson in Buddhist detachment. Certainly, Vanity Fair is a never-ending Western story that benefits from Nair's philosophically Eastern point of view.
While the film bubbles with humor, sensual detail and heaps of plot, it never quite becomes more than the sum of its parts. It's well worth seeing, but it isn't transcendent.
Smart, saucy, and ingenious in the extreme. The trouble is that when a subtext is dragged to the fore, however splendidly, the poor old text gets lost.
It borders on perky -- a duller, safer tonal choice for the story of a conniving go-getter whose fall is as precipitous as her rise.
The movie crams in so many of the events and characters of Thackeray's 900-page novel that the story often seems to be moving on fast-forward, pausing here and there to introduce a character, then skipping ahead from London to the country to Brussels and on, eventually, to India.
Nair's approach never entirely convinces, and the adaptation of the 900-plus-page book becomes increasingly episodic, making this Vanity Fair more a collection of intermittent pleasures than a satisfying emotional repast.
Nair and Witherspoon pull back from the ferocity of Thackeray's portrait: they're afraid we won't find Becky Sharp likable enough. Yes, she's the most brilliant, bold and vibrant creature in this social panorama, but she should also be chilling.
It's by no means a classic, but the dialogue and high caliber of performances mean you'll get your money's worth, especially if you're really into empire waistlines and that infamous English haughtiness.
The effect is a bit like watching "Gone With the Wind" with a dumpling substituting for Scarlett OHara.
There's something about her (Nair) Vanity Fair that doesn't quite work. There is no depth beneath its bright surfaces, no potent emotional undercurrents.
Vanity Fair has a deeper conceptual confusion. In mixing satire and romance, the movie proves once again that the two are about as compatible as lemon juice and heavy cream.
It comes as a huge disappointment, then, that having cast Witherspoon as Miss Sharp, director Mira Nair and Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) were unable to resist that impulse to find 21st-century prototypes in 19th-century literary characters, fictional creations whose values lie not in the way they reflect our own narcissistic times, but the way they reveal so much about their own.
The pacing feels choppy, and the characters' emotions are sometimes too sudden to be believable. (One exception is Rhys Ifans, affecting as Amelia's long-suffering and neglected suitor.)
Thackeray said that he wanted "to leave everybody dissatisfied and unhappy at the end of the story." Nair may have had other intentions, but by film's end, audiences are bound to be left dissatisfied with the choppy and confusing storytelling style and unhappy about the missed opportunity.
I dont quite cherish Thackerays novel, but a can-do feminist, multicultural contemporization of it strikes me as, well, unnecessary.
This might be tolerable if Nair hadn't missed the central point, that Becky Sharp isn't sharp like spice, she's sharp like a razor.
With more time and a dash more cynicism, the film just might have achieved the thrilling allure of Becky Sharp's perfectly icy heart.
What's missing from this Vanity Fair is the sense of plucky, anything-goes adventurousness that abounds in Thackeray's novel.
Unfortunately, Nair's film doesn't so much end as fall off a cliff, the ultimate victim of viewers' heightened expectations that this briskly paced story will take them someplace -- other than around the block in a horse-drawn carriage.
In an effort to blend Thackeray and "Sex and the City," Vanity Fair ends up nowhere.
This movie has precious little satirical edge. What is needs is more emphasis on the "vanity" and less on the "fair."
Despite the curry flavoring Ms. Nair has seen fit to add, this is a Vanity Fair without spice.
Either a radical reinterpretation of the source material or a mammoth failure of nerve. Whichever the case, it makes for a tremendously dull film that gives Witherspoon little to do except pose against a pretty backdrop.
The first half is better than average for an opulent Classics Illustrated film, thanks to realistic period detail, brisk storytelling, and Reese Witherspoon as the saucy rags-to-riches Becky Sharp. Then the whole lumbering weight of the production catches up with the filmmakers, slowing the proceedings to an interminable crawl.
Witherspoon is flavorless, so she emphasizes the screenplay's skimpiness instead of at least partially redressing it.
She has been made lovable -- and a Vanity Fair with a lovable Becky Sharp has no reason to exist. It's as if Shakespeare had put Hamlet on Prozac: What's the point?
There may be filmmakers whose own vision is vast enough to take on Thackeray's, but Mira Nair isn't one of them. Her new film of Vanity Fair is a disaster. Scene by scene and moment to moment, it's a woeful misreading of the book.

Stop right now before you settle for a pre-selected Google+ cover image just because it's there, it's easy, and it was hand-picked by Google so it has to be a winner, right? Wrong; picking from a limited assortment of cover photos shows that you're either lazy or uncreative, both of which don't bode well for you whether it's a business or personal social media (SM) profile. Like it or not, your cover image is just as important as your profile image and it depends on what type of vibe you're after to determine the direction you should head.
Social Media
How Social Media Can Serve Your Business
Though most of us use social media as a way to keep up with friends or take photos of what we're eating, it's increasing its value and importance in many other fields. Specifically, social media and technology are helping businesses become more productive and do things that might once have been unimaginable.
It gives the little guys a chance to compete with Fortune 500 companies, and customers the ability to find everyone in between. If your company is looking for a change, but has yet to hop on the social media bandwagon yet, here are some reasons why you should strap in for the long haul. (more…)
Social Media isn't a Megaphone. It's a Two-Way Radio
Social media is the one marketing medium that allows customers and businesses to interact in an organic fashion. However, it astonishes me just how many companies don't take advantage of this. Rather than engaging with their customers on social media, they use it to tell the customer what the business wants to say. There is very little listening going on.
I would suggest that every business should use social media as a two-way radio as opposed to the megaphone that it currently is for so many companies. When you listen as well as speak, you get the opportunity to find out what your customers want, what they need, and what they think of your business. (more…)
How Social Media Wound Up Costing $80,000
If there's one family that's probably not too fond of social media these days, it has to be the Snays. It was recently reported that 69-year-old Patrick Snay, the former Guillver Preparatory School head, filed an age discriminatory complaint following issues with his contract. Snay came to an agreement with the school that would ultimately wind up with him being granted an $80,000 settlement. When Snay's daughter took to Facebook to boast, said settlement went out the window. Along with it went the aforementioned sum of money.
The fact that Snay's daughter's grouo of 1,200 followers saw the message was bad enough but keep in mind that many of them were in Gulliver at one point or another. One could make the argument that Snay should have been clear with his family, telling them about the confidentiality agreement that came with the settlement. If he did not properly detail it, then it would be nothing short of an oversight on his part. While $80,000 might not seem like much to some people, to others it can practically change their entire worlds.
How Social Media Impacts (or Doesn't Impact) ROI
The more social media followers, the better — right? As is often the case, it's not quite that simple.
A big boost in your Twitter followers might give you a warm glow inside, but it's not going to pay the bills. Likewise, a popular post on Facebook might collect hundreds or thousands of "likes," but it doesn't always follow that your bottom line will receive a boost.
To ensure that your social media presence is effectively advancing your company and brand, you'll have to hit the right notes with your customer base and navigate a minefield of dodgy shortcuts. And it's important to understand exactly what you're getting (and what you're not getting) from your company's investment in social media. (more…)
Localize on Social Media or Else
Don't worry. This isn't one of those "feel good" stories about how social media is all about interacting with your local community. That part's true, but you should know that already, right?
Today, let's go over a quick explanation of how social media algorithms, especially Facebook's, work and why you're actually hurting your local page's chances of being seen by having too many people outside of your local area liking your page. It isn't just a matter of them not being interested in your content the way that locals will. It is an algorithm play that can actually prevent locals from seeing your posts.
Let's Call It: #SuperBowl XLVIII Is the Biggest Social Media Event Ever
How to Calm a Social Media Crisis
We tend to put a lot of ourselves into our online profiles. Whether we're talking about our personal social media profiles or marketers promoting a brand, all that sharing can sometimes lead to some unintended consequences. As a result, it pays to have a plan in place in the event that you need to defend your online reputation.
Why Your Online Reputation Is Important
Among executives, reputation is frequently cited as one of the top strategic risks. This comes down to a number of factors, the most important of which is the fact that bad news tends to travel much more quickly than good news. When everything's working fine, people don't really come out of the woodwork to say so. When something goes wrong, though, you can be sure that people will be sounding off about it. Many companies consider it essential to have in-house or outside PR and marketing agencies at the ready to handle any public image crisis.
Social media and the internet in general have also made the dissemination of information extremely fast, and turned even the most taciturn consumers into very public mouthpieces for bad news about the brands they follow. If your company should find itself in the midst of an embarrassing PR problem, here are three case studies to help you through it.
Case Study #1: Buffer
Buffer is a service that helps marketers to schedule their social media posts. In October of 2013, Buffer was hacked by anonymous parties, which put the personal information of their customers at risk.
So what did Buffer do? They came out swinging. The hack occurred on a Saturday, and by that same afternoon, Buffer had already communicated with customers and the media about the problem.
Instead of trying to bury the bad publicity, they chose to remain completely transparent about the situation. As a result, the response across the web was actually quite positive, with most parties praising Buffer for their quick, decisive and honest response to the crisis.
Case Study #2: J.C. Penney
J.C. Penny, also known as the land of perpetual sales, experienced a rather embarrassing situation last spring when a well-intentioned billboard created a rather unfortunate optical illusion.
The billboard prominently featured Michael Graves' Bells and Whistles stainless steel teapot which, when viewed from its side, looked just a little bit like the unforgettable profile of Adolph Hitler — complete with mustache and Nazi salute.
Passersby were quick to complain about the billboard online, which brought the situation to the attention of J.C. Penney's leadership fairly quickly. Company leadership could easily have ignored the situation or maintained that people were delusional or imagining things, but instead they took to Twitter, assuring customers good-naturedly that the likeness to Hitler was "totally unintentional."
Case Study #3: Fontaine Santé
Based in Montreal, Fontaine Santé is a major food supplier for North America. In the final weeks of 2011, the company was alerted to the possibility that some of their pre-packaged salads could contain traces of Listeria monocytogenes. The salads in question had already been purchased by customers across the continent.
The situation looked particularly dire; not only was the company's reputation on the line, but also the health of the public. As it was, the news hit social media and spread quickly. Thankfully, Fontaine Santé's approach proved to be both quick and decisive.
The food distributor leveraged available outlets in both social and traditional media to get the word out to as many people as possible. It's a far cry from the tight-lipped response that a company with less integrity might have come up with.
Most remarkable is the fact that Fontaine Santé managed to recall all of the contaminated salads, and no cases of illness were reported.
What Can We Learn From These Crises?
Each of these companies are worthy case studies in how to respond appropriately when potential PR disasters rear their heads. So what did they do right?
What all three of these companies have in common is that they responded quickly. That's probably the most important factor in most cases: the company needs to "get ahead" of the bad news, to assure concerned parties that they're not only aware of the problem, but actively seeking a solution.
All three companies also made a point of spreading the word as far and wide as they could: one of the keys to damage control is to avoid misinformation and misconceptions from spreading; by reporting the story on their own terms, they ensured that when the story was reported, the facts hadn't been distorted.
Finally, the companies demonstrated that they were not only willing to pledge a solution to their respective situations, but that they were ready to follow through on their promises. They recalled the contaminated products quickly, they took down the offending billboard and they helped their customers to safeguard their at-risk personal data. Ultimately, they worked closely with their customers and found a solution.
They say you don't really know someone until you've seen them under pressure. It's probably safe to say we know each of these companies pretty well by now.
Top 10 Social Media Tips & Predictions For 2014
It goes without saying that social media seems to shift at a moment's notice. This may not mean much for those who utilize Facebook, Twitter and pages of that nature for leisurely purposes but what about those who wish to expand their digital presences? What if they want to help themselves or their brand become noticed? In order for social media to be utilized well during 2014, here is a list of the top 10 men moves that should be made.
1. Expect certain networks to gain attention. A recent publication on Digital Trends went into detail about how Pinterest "Pins" have more value to online retailers than Facebook "Likes." Considering the general scope of Facebook, Pinterest is a site to look out for. Between this and its expanding teenage demographic that seems to deviating from Facebook, it's clear that some sites will see greater elevation in the public eye than others.
2. Do not count out social media through mobile devices. It seems as though the utilization of one networking page after another is being seen more so through smartphones and tablets as opposed to computers these days. It goes without saying that your typical laptop will offer more in the way of functionality. However, considering the fact that many people are on the move without a place to settle in for long, mobile usage is an attractive alternative that will see growth during 2014.
3. Blogging will become a greater digital monster. From a creative standpoint, blogging is ideal for talking about certain subjects, giving one's take on the matter in a way that is as level as possible. However, from the perspective of general awareness, more and more sites have risen and it's easy for budding writers to make their presences known. The greater a platform is in terms of its litany of well-versed writers, the better it will be.
4. There will be a prevalence of job openings in social media. If you are someone who believes that working with Facebook can't ever result in a career down the road, you may be mistaken. From SEO specialists to community managers, it's clear that these individuals not only understand well-known networking platforms but systems which function to distribute digital content. The year of '14 is looking strong on the employment front for many a social media agency.
5. Posts will retain the "less-is-more" mentality. It's understandable if, for example, a "Game of Thrones" fan live tweets during a premiere. Apart from instances like this, it's unwise to flood your page with messages, since those who follow you will be exposed to them. When they see nothing but messages that do not pertain to them, it is all the more reason for them to unfollow. While shorter posts are better able to earn attention, fewer posts typically entail more importance for businesses in particular.
6. Content will see more of a graphical focus. I'm sure that you have stumbled upon one .gif after another while roaming the Internet on a dedicated day, each of them played up for the sake of humor. That being said, I believe it to be a sign that with content taking a more visual approach these days, those who fail to focus on this point stand the chance of becoming irrelevant in the industry they are in. The content that is popular on Tumblr, for example, might just make all of the difference for brand awareness.
7. Video content will prove more effective in displaying brand personality. It's easy enough to read about the successes that a company has had but what will your perception of them be unless you have been directly exposed to it? This is one of the reasons why videography is integral, as it can appeal to not only one's visual sense but auditory sense as well. In addition, most people are simply more driven to watch a video for two minutes as opposed to reading a narrative for several more.
8. People will be more careful about what they post on social media. This may be something of a given for many but it's surprising that adults, of all people, seem to fail at utilizing various platforms in ways that can make them look better. For instance, this past May, Australian batsman David Warner was fined more than $5,500 for his Twitter outburst against two journalists. To put it mildly, the end result was one which displayed that no one wants a "Warner moment" of their own. Not everything has to be made public.
9. Genuineness will be that much more important on social media. It is important to be yourself on any networking platform, though to a degree that you do not simply post anything that comes to mind. It's important to have a cognitive filter so that you can come across as not only personable but professional. You will not attain a strong digital presence by one blast of outrageous content after another. Stay cautious and, before long, you'll feel as though you truly earned your social circle.
10. Don't forget about certain networks. Case in point, Google+ has been heavily supported by the well-known brand but how many people were going to latch onto it as well as expected? With YouTube all but requiring Google+, it expectedly earned backlash, especially with the video website's commenting system becoming nothing more of a mess. Fortunately, YouTube appears to be making matters easier, implementing a comment system that creators will have better control over. Early into 2014, it's a welcome start.
The One-Two Punch: Print and Social Media Marketing
In today's world, there is a huge focus on social media and Internet marketing. While the Internet has definitely made it possible for businesses to connect in new ways with clients and customers worldwide, the Internet has not totally replaced traditional print marketing, nor should it.
Social media marketing should not be a stand-alone tool, but instead you should have multiple different marketing channels that are available to you and that you work to seamlessly integrate. Print marketing and social media marketing, for example, can go hand-in-hand in order to reach the most customers and potential customers.
How Print Marketing and Social Media Marketing Can Complement Each Other
Print marketing and social media marketing can integrate in many important ways as long as you have a clear marketing approach that you take across all of your different marketing channels.
Some of the different ways that print marketing can complement your social media marketing include the following:
- Allow participation in contests in social media that can result in real-world prizes that someone can enjoy. For example, you could run a contest so that everyone who follows you on Twitter or who re-tweets something you post is entered to win a great promotional item from your company. Promotional products are great advertising because when people use a product with your brand on it, this spreads the word about your brand and company to others. A social media contest to win a promotional product gives you lots of bang for your marketing buck because you generate buzz when people enter (and talk about entering) the contest AND you get the benefit of giving someone a promotional product that can be used. You can purchase such prizes from a company like Quality logo Products out of Aurora.
- Include hashtags and an easy newsletter signup on all print media that you distribute. Whenever you send out a direct mail marketing piece, provide a print brochure or otherwise give someone print materials about your company, you should be sure to include hashtags that can invite people to visit your social media channels and talk about the product. You can also include all of your information on websites as well as social media channels and user names (like your Twitter handle) so that people who see your print material can quickly and easily find you online. Those who receive your print material can then visit you on social media as well. Be sure to make your social media names representative of your company and simple and easy to remember in order to encourage more people to visit your sites.
- Build a database of potential customers through both print and social media. When someone obtains print material from you, ask for that person's email address to be added to your online mailing list using a service like Mail Chimp. When you get someone's email address, you can then contact them over the Internet and invite them to follow you on Facebook, Twitter or other social media sites. Likewise, if you are running a contest for those who follow you on social media, consider asking for a physical address (to be kept private, of course, not publicly shared on Facebook or otherwise on social media). When you get the physical address of a customer or potential customer, this makes it possible for you to send print material.
- Use QR Codes. QR codes can integrate online and local ads by making it easy for people to access your digital information. A QR code included on print material can allow people to connect with you digitally in a very simple and easy way. For more information on generating and using QR codes, click here.
- Include social media mentions on print material. If you send out marketing material or newsletters in print, you can include things that people have said on social media about your company. These statements act as a reference, and those receiving the print material may become curious and sign onto social media to learn more about what people are saying about your company.
These are just a few of the key ways that you can integrate print marketing and social media marketing. There are many different approaches to take and the right choice is going to depend upon your specific business model. However, you should not assume that since social media marketing seems to be the wave of the future that it is the only kind of marketing you should do.
A comprehensive marketing plan should include social media marketing, email marketing, a great company website, and print materials. You will have multiple ways to connect to clients and customers, won't have to worry as much about losing trust because of a change in email address or because of a move, and you can offer content and information that people appreciate in multiple formats. This just makes good business sense.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello all.
This might make me sound a bit simple, but I'm a complete beginner with Fontographer (I only installed it today)
Basically I've taken an existing font and made all my tweaks in Illustrator (Upper and lower case, bold and light) I've then converted the existing font into a ttf and opened it in Fontographer.
Now all I want to do is transfer my characters from Illustrator into Fontographer and have them exactly match the size/baseline etc, I haven't changed the proportions of the font in Illustrator so I'm hoping that I won't have to mess with the kerning. But When I paste them in they are huge and I'm struggling with the scale tool and lack of rulers/guides. Is there a way of importing an eps, or just replacing a character without having to manually scale each one? Or have I missed something and gone about this all wrong???
Thanks in advance!
Read the Fontographer manual.
Set your em square to 2048 for a TTF font, with an Ascender of 2048 and a Descender of 0. Then, in Illustrator, place spacers (here shown as blue lines with a 4 pt. stroke) to match the highest point and lowest point of all the characters in your font. This way, all of your characters will import at the same relative size.
I usually import five to seven characters at a time, delete the spacers, then Clean Up Paths, Correct Path Direction, Remove Overlap, then Cut and Paste into the correct slots.
There's a lot more housekeeping to be done once all of your glyphs are placed, but let's leave that for another day. This ought to get you started on the right track...
@oldnick - Thanks for the help, this is perfect I really appreciate it.
@Dunwich - I'm an illustrator, not a type designer, and I have no interest in being one. But when I get chance to sit down with a nice cup of tea and a packet of digestive biscuits I will read the 525 page manual, thanks.
After you've imported all of your characters...

Loser for not seeing through the truck is TDP, says CPI(M)Verdict against Congress: Narsinga Rao
VISAKHAPATNAM: The CPI(M) has accused the TDP of not keeping its side of the bargain and not striving to make the alliance work well in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) elections.
Had it tried hard to tackle its rebels and honestly worked, the CPI(M) would have won five more divisions, party district secretary Ch. Narsinga Rao and district secretariat member V.S. Padmanabha Raju told reporters here on Thursday.
The loser for not seeing through the truck was the TDP, as with the additional seats of the CPI(M) it would have won the mayor post easily, they said. Fighting in alliance with the TDP in 15 divisions, the CPI(M) won two. Mr. Narsinga Rao said though the TDP was committed to the alliance, its leaders did not try to convince the rebels to bow out till five days after withdrawals began.
TDP leaders at lower levels did not bother to get the party votes cast in favour of the CPI(M) candidates.
They directly supported either rebels or that of the Congress or the BJP, Mr. Narsinga Rao alleged. As a result, its candidates in divisions 1, 23, 38, 50 and 61 had lost the election. Not working in the true spirit of the alliance would not augur well for the future, he said.
In 15 divisions, the CPI(M) got its votes cast for the TDP resulting in victory. They are: 2, 4, 10, 11, 19, 30, 31, 33, 34, 39, 41, 53, 58, 64 and 65. Even in division 55 from where Congress rebel T. Nagi Reddy had won, two TDP rebels polled 2,274 and 1,844 votes. No serious effort was made to tackle the rebels there, he said.
Anti-Congress vote
Mr. Narsinga Rao said the verdict was against the Congress and an indictment of corruption in its regime, rising prices and other local factors.
But the TDP defeated the voters' will of trouncing the Congress as its cadres worked against the CPI(M).

Kris Commons says Celtic are not at all feeling the pressure as they get set to meet Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League for the second season running.
The Bhoys did the unthinkable and knocked off the Catalan giants 2-1 at Parkhead in the group stage last term which leads Commons to believe that he and his teammates can go in to Tuesday's home encounter without too much to worry about.
"If anything there is less pressure," he told the Celtic View.
"We're not expected to beat Barcelona, no one is. Last year was a really special moment. It was the 125th anniversary, we had the big display before the game and it all came about in a way that made it a really special moment in Celtic´s history.
"Barcelona will maybe be more fired up this time to show that it was just a fluke result, but without a doubt we have some very technical individuals in our team who will be looking to take as many points as we can."

Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. offers atmospheric gases, process and specialty gases, performance materials, and equipment and services worldwide. The company is member of the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Dividend Aristocrats indexes. Air Products and Chemicals has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since 1954 and increased payments to common shareholders every year for 28 years.
Over the past decade this dividend stock has delivered an average total return of 11.80% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver a 20.20% average annual increase in its EPS over the past decade, largely due to low earnings in 2000. Analysts are expecting an increase in EPS to $4.98 for 2010 and $5.63 by 2011. This would be a nice increase from the 2009 earnings per share of $3.
The company is one of the largest producers of industrial gases and also owns a large specialty chemicals business. The potential areas of growth include growth in industrial gases, including electronics, hydrogen for petroleum refining, health care and Asian operations. The market for industrial gases gas increased at double the rate of the economy over the past years, which could be another driver of revenue growth. Air Products and Chemicals has announced its intent to acquire Airgas (ARG) in an unfriendly take-over in February 2010. This deal could benefit the company through cost savings if successful.
The Return on Equity has been stable around 15% over the past decade. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
Annual dividend payments have increased by an average of 10.30% since 2000, which is lower than the growth in EPS. The company last raised its dividend by 8.90% in February 2010, for the 28th year in a row.
A 10 % growth in dividends translates into the dividend payment doubling every seven years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1983, Air Products and Chemicals has indeed managed to double its dividend payment every seven years on average.
The dividend payout ratio remained below 50% for the majority of the past decade, with the exception of 2000 and 2009. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently Air Products and Chemicals is trading at 17.30 times earnings and yields 2.90%. In comparison Praxair (PX) trades at a P/E multiple of 19 and yields 2.40%. I consider Air Products and Chemicals attractively valued at the moment.

Tell us what you thought of 'The Ides of March'
We've said about all we can say about George Clooney's "The Ides of March" around these parts. Guy was reserved about the film in Venice and used the occasion of the film's release to launch a list of the top 10 films about politics. I was over the moon about it in Los Angeles and am willing to stake plenty on its Oscar chances, despite naysayers. And Anne and I had plenty to say about it and the film's critical reception this morning. But today, the film is opening wide across the country. So many of you will get a load of it yourself this weekend. I'm eager to hear what you have to say, so hurry on back here when/if you get around to seeing it and give us your thoughts.

miele vacuum is whistling!
gwaldMay 11, 2013
my miele pisces canister vacuum just started to whistle! I think it started after I changed the bag but I'm not sure. (It was a few weeks ago.) If I turn it on, it sounds ok, but after a several minutes, a whistle type sound starts up! Any ideas what this could be?
yes - it turns out that it is happy that I changed the bag (I did a translation using google), but I couldn't find any obstruction. While examing the patient, I did see that the HEPA filter was 2 years old. I don't know if I accidentally unlcogged the hose or if the old filter caused that, but no more whistling!

Heidi Cohen | February 22, 2010 | Comments
A look at what marketers can learn about social media marketing from the 2010 Olympic Games.
Marketers can learn a lot about social media marketing by watching the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. To compete in the Olympics takes hard work, dedication, and resources, much of which is never seen by viewers. Breathtaking performances that appear effortless to spectators belies the many hours of practice required to compete on a global stage.
Social media marketing also takes hard work, dedication, and resources to effectively work as part of a well-rounded marketing plan that yields top results. Just like Olympic gold medalists, social media marketing rock stars like Chris Brogan, BL Ochman, and Lee Odden make it look easy. But a successful social media marketing program requires serious time and effort. Here are nine insights from the Olympic athletes that marketers can apply to their social media marketing to yield better results:
Just as Olympic athletes must train and hone their performance, companies can't expect to become social media darlings overnight. Companies need solid goals and management support, including the commitment of resources. To develop an effective social media marketing program requires a willingness to accept that it's not necessarily a straight path to success. Rather, success is built by monitoring your progress and making adjustments to your marketing to get it on track. And once you have achieved a degree of social media success, remember you can't slack off. In such a dynamic marketing area, there is always something new coming along that will require your attention.
