Don't Let Your Brand Suffer from Bad Blogging Skills
For many companies, blogs are either a major point of interest or they get little to no attention. So what happens if your company's blog is, in fact, potentially damaging your company's brand? Do you pull it entirely? Do you rework it in order to improve the company brand? Or do you just leave things the way they are and deal with it later?
3 Tricks No Hooker Should Try: Conventional Wisdom and Branding
Branding. Nothing strikes fear in the heart of marketers quite like this concept. For entrepreneurs with many interests, it's difficult to think they can be summed up in a single construct. For others with a narrower focus, it's frustrating to find just the right words to accurately represent what they stand for. Your brand is what represents the core values of your company—your mission statement, if you will. Your target market will likely never see the brand statement because it's not for them.
Is Your Blog's Comment System Inviting or Pushing Away?
Today, we're going to take a look at how YOU are inviting people to comment on your blog. The big question is, is it easy? Can they just comment, or do they have to jump through hoops, give you their first child or sign over their house to comment? It's time for some tough love, people. There's no other more off putting action than telling them they have to sign up to comment. When you get ready to comment on someone else's blog, how willing are you to go through the song and dance you're putting your readers through?
Collective Intelligence: Humanity's Mass Mind
Science fiction stories often talk about the "Collective" - or "intelligence", if you will - where the mass of mankind's knowledge is accessible through a telepathic thought. While much of science fiction is still just fiction, we're a whole lot closer to the idea of the Collective then you might think. It's already here, in the form of the Internet. "Big deal," you say? Ah... read on, oh lucky visitor!
Content Strategies: Get Fresh with Your Audience Today
If your company's Web site has been drawing less and less attention from customers, perhaps you have a freshness issue. It's not that you're getting testy with customers, but that your site's content hasn't been updated on a regular basis for some time. Fresh content you can market and advertise to customers is critical in today's online world. As more customers turn to the Internet to shop for and purchase products, it's imperative that your content be interesting, informative and, most importantly, fresh.

Florida Gators LB Antonio Morrison Arrested for Barking at Police Dog
Florida Gators head coach Will Muschamp leads his football team with a type of ferocity and aggressiveness that you look for in someone who possesses one of the top defenses in the country. You can certainly see on the field that the players on his defensive unit follow his lead and are as tenacious as any team in the country.
Although, some maybe don't know how to dial that down once they leave the field, and that's exactly what happened early this morning with Gators LB Antonio Morrison.
In what unfortunately has been his second arrest in five weeks, Morrison was arrested early this morning for barking at a police canine in Gainesville, Fla. Yes, he barked at a police dog, who also happened to be named 'Bear.' When you bark at a police dog named Bear, bad things are going to happen. Oh, and if we want to make this better, if that was even possible, when Morrison was asked by the officer why he felt the need to turn himself into a dog whisperer, his excuse was that the dog barked at him first.
Forget the fact of barking at a law enforcement K-9, handcuffs should have been placed on him for sheer stupidity alone.
Basically, an Alachua County Sheriff's officer was investigating a disturbance at around 3:43 a.m. EST as a group of men were also walking down the street. One of the men, Morrison, approached his patrol car as he was doing his duties, began his exchange with Bear, which drew the officer's attention away from the issue he was investigating, and just like that we have another University of Florida legal issue on our hands. And as per usual, it's an outright ridiculous one.
Remember, this is the same program that gave us the infamous taco stealing incident last year.
Muschamp was quick to respond as he just issued a statement earlier stating that Morrison will certainly be missing the first two games of this upcoming season. The coach was already up in the air about suspending the LB following his assault arrest back in June for punching a nightclub bouncer. This latest incident certainly made up Muschamp's mind about a suspension rather quickly.
Still, this is probably Urban Meyer's fault somehow.

Etisalat cites due diligence, unrest, divided Zain board; UAE firm would have expanded into key Iraq market; Impact unclear on bidders for Zain Saudi assets.
March 19, 2011 3:01 by Reuters
UAE telecom firm Etisalat scrapped on Saturday its $12 billion offer to buy a controlling stake in Kuwaiti rival Zain, citing Zain's divided board, extended due diligence and regional unrest.
The Gulf's largest telecom firm offered last year to buy a 46-percent stake in Zain, worth about $12 billion, for 1.7 dinars a share from a consortium led by major Zain shareholder Kharafi Group.
The Zain deal would have made Etisalat the regional heavyweight, but it had been plagued by delays and disputes. "Etisalat has to announce unfortunately that negotiations … towards acquiring a controlling stake in Zain have ended," the Abu Dhabi-based firm said in a statement.
"In light of the broad due diligence carried out by Etisalat … and following the political unrest in the region and due to a lack of consensus in the board (shareholders) of Zain, … the conditional offer is not valid anymore."
Etisalat's attempt to take control of Zain, whose operations in key growing Middle East markets such as Iraq make it an attractive target, had been dealt several setbacks.
Divisions within Zain's board — seen as hostile to the Kharafi Group which irritated other shareholders by cutting them out of the stake sale and accruing all brokerage fees on the deal — led to internal squabbling.
Meanwhile, the complicated deal structure was another hurdle to the deal which Etisalat, facing stiff competition at home from rival du, badly wanted to expand its footprint in the Middle East.
As recently as March 2, Etisalat had said it was still interested in taking control of Zain after it had missed a second deadline to complete due diligence.
On Saturday, Etisalat also cited new Kuwaiti capital markets laws related to takeovers which require anyone who buys more than 30 percent of a listed Kuwaiti firm to bid for the remaining outstanding shares within 30 days effective in March.
The bylaw does not apply to deals agreed previously and would not affect the Etisalat deal, a Kuwaiti Capital Markets Authority official said at the time.
The end of the Etisalat/Zain deal throws into doubt a side arrangement which saw Bahrain Telecommunications and Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's Kingdom Holding bid $950 million for Zain's Saudi assets last week.
As part of its Etisalat offer, Zain was required to sell its stake in Zain Saudi because Etisalat also operates in the kingdom through its affiliate Mobily.
But Batelco's chief executive said the offer would proceed despite the end of the Etisalat/Zain plan.
"We were not buying Zain, we were buying a stake in Zain KSA and we are still interested in that," Batelco CEO Peter Kaliaropoulos told Reuters from Riyadh. "Now the question is will Zain still sell it. But we will proceed."
A Zain spokesman said the Kuwaiti firm's board of directors would need to decide whether the sale goes ahead or not.

Published March 19, 1996
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue yesterday summoned Seahawks President David Behring to New York for a Friday meeting after the team began off-season workouts in Anaheim. Seahawks attorney William Temko released a statement saying the workouts were "in the best interests of the team," and that they wished to conduct workouts "away from the media circus" if they remained in Seattle. Tagliabue called the Anaheim workouts "pre-emptive and supportive" of the February 2 move announcement. Tagliabue: "The Kingdome safety issues raised by the Seahawks have no relationship to the club's ability to conduct training programs in its Kirkland facilities" (Boren & Farnsworth, SEATTLE P-I, 3/19). In L.A., Steve Springer reports the team will not conduct draft activities in Anaheim, as previously planned, "to not further offend the league" (L.A. TIMES, 3/19). MOVING EXPENSES: Meanwhile, the club's undetermined status for next season is costing owner Ken Behring plenty. The SEATTLE P-I reports the team is down $6M it normally would have from season ticket deposits, while Behring still must pay $275,000 to lease the Anaheim training complex and more than $12,500 a week to house players in a CA hotel. Behring insisted yesterday the team was not for sale, though the P-I reports "he would listen" if offered enough money (Farnsworth & Boren, SEATTLE P-I, 3/19). The TACOMA NEWS-TRIBUNE reports that Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen is reportedly weighing the "emotional value" of owning a team in his hometown. Allen's representative Bob Whitsitt said he expects no action in the near future while Allen decides (Clayton & Foster, TACOMA NEWS-TRIBUNE, 3/18).

- Corey Long, Reporter, RecruitingNation
LAKE WALES, Fla. -- Five-star cornerback Mackensie Alexander of Immokalee (Fla.) High School revealed some of his future plans after a Friday night loss to Lake Wales (Fla.) High School.
However, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound senior isn't going to tell everything.
"I'm planning on going to the FSU-Clemson game Saturday, we'll see what happens," Alexander said. "I want to see how FSU plays, how they cover [Sammy] Watkins. I talked to Sammy and he says he's going to do his thing.
"I'm going to watch both defenses and see how both defenses play. I talked to both staffs this weekend and they are both confident. I don't care who wins or loses really, I just what to see some good football."
Where Alexander takes his official visits is the source of much debate and once again he is willing to give a few answers but will not speak on all of his plans.
"I'm scheduled for week 9 to Nebraska," Alexander added. "I haven't set up any other visits yet. I'm going to go see Clemson as well, but I don't have a date yet."
Some sources have Alexander listing Notre Dame as his favorite after taking an unofficial visit to South Bend over the summer. However, it doesn't appear that the Irish are in line for a second trip.
"I don't think I'm going to see Notre Dame, I've seen them already," Alexander said. "Right now going back to Notre Dame is not in the plans. We'll see, though -- I can't tell you guys everything."
His visit to Florida State this weekend will be an unofficial, as would any visit to a state school.
"I won't take an official anywhere in the state because I can just drive there and see what I need to see," Alexander said.

Suspect Arrested For All 10 Off-Campus Apartment Burglaries Near Towson University
TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) –Baltimore County Police have arrested a man suspected of 10 off-campus burglaries near Towson University.
Vincent Davis Jr., 43, has been charged with all 10 burglaries.
Davis was arrested Friday. He faces nine counts of first-degree burglary and one count of attempted first-degree burglary. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
According to police, the string of burglaries happened during the month of April and shook Towson University students.
"If I walk around at night, it'll be brief and I'll be on the phone with somebody," said senior Raleigh Kennedy. "I don't walk alone ever."
According to Baltimore County Police, almost all the victims were women. Their jewelry, cash, medications and personal items were stolen.
Many of the burglaries occurred on Charles View Way, Donnington Circle and Greenview Terrace.
Police say most of the burglaries happened at night and the suspect got in because a window or door was left unlocked.
"We are really strongly encouraging the students there to make sure they secure their doors and windows," said Elise Armacost, Baltimore County Police Department. "Most of these burglaries were committed when the suspect entered through an unsecured door or window."
Students are heeding that advice.
"Put our little chain lock on the front door now where we never did it before," said senior Clinton Holley.
"We used to lock our doors and stuff, but now we're a little more cautious of it. Make sure we check before we go to bed," senior Brett Welsh said.
Police also tell students to be careful what they post on social media.
"They'll post that they're going on a little trip or they're going home for the weekend, and that can be an advertisement that you're vulnerable," said Armacost.
Students have learned to take extra precautions.
"Lots of people have a lot of money around here with their TVs and cars and laptops and textbooks," Kennedy said. "They're going to take advantage of that. So you have to be aware."
The burglaries occurred on the following dates and at the following locations:
- April 4: 1000 block Donnington Circle
- April 5: 1000 block Donnington Circle
- April 5-6: 1100 block Donnington Circle
- April 8: 1100 block Donnington Circle
- April 12: 1000 block Charles View Way
- April 14: 1000 block Charles View Way
- April 18-19: 7700 block of Greenview Terrace
- April 18-21: 7700 block of Greenview Terrace
- April 26-27: unit block of Fellowship Court
- April 26-27: 200 block of Donnybrook Lane

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
06 Jun 2011 05:48 GMT | Middle East, US & Canada, Austria, Libya, Malta
A Libyan woman who claimed she was raped by troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, and found refuge in Qatar only to be deported to Libya soon after, is on her way to the United States, her sister has said.
Marwa al-Obeidi said her sister Iman was flown out of Benghazi, a stronghold of Libyan rebels, early on Sunday morning.
It was not immediately known where she was going in the United States.
In gray pajamas and sitting with her mother in a cramped hotel room in Benghazi, Marwa al-Obeidi said she had spent the day crying because it was hard to see her sister leave, but that she felt this trip was best for her.
"We just want a chance for her to be treated psychologically and to rest. My sister has just been through so much," she told the Associated Press news agency.
It appeared difficult for Aisha bin Ismail, their mother, to speak about her daughter. She turned her head away to take a breath and hold back tears as she described Iman's last few weeks.
"Iman locked herself in her room in Doha and refused to leave the house. She would get nightmares and fall off the bed," she told AP.
Rape claim
In March, al-Obeidi rushed into Tripoli's Rixos Hotel where all foreign correspondents stay while covering the part of Libya under Gaddafi's control.
She shouted out her story of being stopped at a checkpoint, dragged away and gang-raped by soldiers.
As she spoke and reporters recorded her words, government minders, whose job is to escort reporters around the city, jumped on her and dragged her away.
She disappeared for several days, until she resurfaced first in Tunisia, and then in Qatar.
She was rarely heard from until Thursday, when she was suddenly deported from Qatar and ended up in Benghazi, reportedly suffering from bruises to her body.
The Qatari government offered no explanation and did not respond to calls.
Al-Obeidi has said she was targeted by Gaddafi's troops because she is from Benghazi, the rebel stronghold.
Her claims regarding her assault could not be independently verified.
'Happy for her'
The US state department had expressed concern for al-Obeidi's safety after she was deported from Qatar.
A UN human rights body said her deportation was a violation of international law because she was a recognised refugee.
Libyan authorities have alternately labelled al-Obeidi a drunk, a prostitute and a thief.
Marwa al-Obeidi maintained that Qatar was friendly with the family until the last few hours before deportation.
She said that Qatari authorities gave the family five hours notice to get on a military plane and leave Doha.
"Iman wanted to travel directly to America from Qatar, but for some logistical reasons Qatar wouldn't allow it. That's when they didn't treat us very nicely," she said.
Marwa al-Obeidi said Iman's main priority in the US would be to receive psychological treatment and to continue her studies.
"I am sure they will greet her with such warmth and kindness," she said.
"We are happy for her."

Obama Bets on Bulls Over Heat
When President Barack Obama wasn't talking about important things like Cuba in his interview this week with Univision, he took time to discuss the very serious topic of Bulls vs. Heat. We'll give you one guess as to what team the former Illinois senator is placing his wager.
Yes, while his birth certificate shows that he was clearly not born in Chicago, the president has a lot of love for his adopted hometown and obviously picked the Bulls.
"Well you know in Chicago you know we have some outstanding Chicago hot dogs, I don't know what kind of food you've got down in Miami," Obama replied when asked about the upcoming series by Univision reporter Mario Andrés Moreno.
What the hell Obama? You've certainly been to enough fundraisers down here to have at least some idea of our food.
"If we lose, I'm gonna bring you here to the White House, a box of Cuban Fritas, you've eaten them on Calle Ocho," replied the reporter.
"I've had those and they're very good...so you've got a bet," the President replied.
The last time the President bet against a Miami basketball team he picked the Sooners to take out the Miami Hurricanes in the NCAA women's tournament, and he turned out to be right. Lets hope his betting streak doesn't continue.

Awesome benefits!!! I have a six figure, vested 401k and I am in my early thirties. The Electrical Division is the largest of the four divisions...so there is a lot of opportunity for growth and movement. People are hired into positions with the thought that it will take them 1.5 to 2 years to really grow into the job. Development is the name of the game and only idiots don't take advantage of all the training available. The do fully cover advanced degrees...MBAs, graduate engineering, etc. are encouraged provided they benefit your current position and you have your boss's approval. They do like to hire engineers and you are allowed to move into other areas like finance, operations, HR, etc. despite your undergrad degree. You HAVE to have a college degree to get in the door and get promotions....
You have to be willing to relocate. They like to move people around. Many top managers have their families in one state and work in another state. They like to promote well rounded leaders with specific experiences..not a bad thing. However, you may end up having to 'do time' in Fayetteville, NC. Now they are encouraging global assignments, again, not always a bad deal...but it can be hard on your family. If you aspire to the highest levels of management, you better like lake effect snow. Eaton is headquartered in Cleveland, OH...need I say more.
Advice to Management
Allow more telecommuting. Encourage more diversity...not just gender, race, and sexual orientation, but diversity of ideas, ways of thinking, and problem solving. Understand that it is okay to disagree, make the tough calls in a timely manner, and stop playing favorites.... your golden boys aren't always so golden.

"It's a stable company... "

I worked at EatonApproves of CEOApproves of CEO
The best reasons for working at Eaton has to be the large network of support. There's pretty much a process in place for everything so people have a chance to get training in a variety of areas related to their work. The company is pretty stable and they do celebrate successes. The goals and feedback system is well defined and setting the goals in line with upper management is well understood. Plenty of networking opportunities and communication about the other lines of business are clear as well. The company is driven by metrics which means that a lot of success has to be concrete which eliminates a lot of subjective judgments that managers quite often mess up.
The downside is that the work is not all that interesting. There is more focus on cost cutting, process improvements and backward compatibility rather than advancing the technology through new innovations. There is of course new innovations but quite often products are based on old reference designs with lots of restrictions. This often removes the "fun" out of the engineering as we are marching our work toward a cost goal rather than a innovation goal. Another issue with working there is that because the company is so metric driven they quite often treat workers as assets rather than real people.
Advice to Management
Senior Management does not understand that a culture cannot be cultivated strictly through achieving a certain score or metric but through building an organization through the people. The focus on results have produced a company which is strong financially but rather impersonal in dealing with its workers. Since everything is done through a process senior management needs to understand its workers better and adapt to changes especially when acquiring other companies.

The .258 career hitter hasn't had problems hitting bombs for the Orioles and he managed his second of the season Wednesday night with three-run jack to left field in the first inning off Tampa Bay Rays SP Jeremy Hellickson. He drove in another run and scored one more to finish with four RBI and two runs scored.
The home run certainly wasn't a shock, but the four-hit game should be considered a big surprise. In 2012 with the Orioles, Davis didn't record four hits in a game all season and had three hits just eight times.
The big game followed a 1-for-4 night in the team's opener, with his one being a not-so-surprising home run. Owners should not get used to the multi-hit games, however. Coming off a 33-homer season, Davis was had relatively late in fantasy drafts because of his low average and on-base percentage, but he could prove to be a value if he can hit around .275 as he has the potential to hit 35-to-40 jacks with 100 RBI in a full season.
The left-handed Davis was able to homer off lefty David Price in the opener and his splits over the past few years don't indicate a huge dip in performance against southpaws; especially in power as seven of his 30 hits against them last year left the park. Fantasy owners will enjoy Davis' contributions in the power categories all season, and any time he isn't a drag on batting average is a welcome bonus.

text: Washington Update 8/2/2012 Permissions Page ContentOn Jan. 2, 2013, the nation could be headed off the fiscal cliff. The fiscal cliff refers to the automatic enactment of tax and spending provisions at the beginning of 2013 if Congress does nothing. This includes the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the FICA payroll tax holiday, plus the automatic spending reductions included in last summer's debt ceiling deal, the Budget Control Act of 2011. If sequestration happens, over a million federal contract employees could lose their jobs. Many of these mass layoffs will occur at employers with 100 or more full-time employees. Therefore, those employers would be required by the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act of 1988 to provide employees with 60 days written advance notification of plant closings and mass layoffs. While a panel of major defense contractors testified in Congress last week that they were preparing to issue thousands of WARN Act notifications, the Obama administration recently announced that federal contractors are not required to provide WARN Act notices 60 days prior to the expected sequestration date, projected to be Jan. 2.

Originally written on Dodgers Rumors | Last updated 7/5/12
I swear this is absolute madness. Is it just me or does it seem like every time the Dodgers activate someone from the DL, two more are added? The Dodgers recently activated Mark Ellis from the disabled list, so of course the Dodgers added Andre Ethier to the disabled list. That's not that big of a deal, he's been hurt for several days, and he's eligible to come back right after the All-Star break, so this more of managing the 25-man roster.
Coming in two's, down goes Todd Coffey for the year. He's having Tommy John surgery and he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. But wait, that's not all, Dee Gordon is out for six weeks after finding out he has a UCL tear in his thumb. The injury occurred last night when Gordon's hand caught the base on a head-first slide into third on a stolen base. He's scheduled for surgery and he will miss about six weeks, so that puts his return right around the middle of August. Elian Herrera and Luis Cruz figure to split the starting job as long as they continue to hit well.
Huge blow to the Dodgers. Say what you want about the rookie, but the kid deserves to be here. He's adjusting to the majors a bit, no doubt. But you can't deny his talent and you are looking at a future perennial All-Star. Gordon currently leads all MLB players with 30 stolen bases. His OBP is .280, imagine if it was at a much more respectable number. You can't deny Gordon's speed, talent, and sheer athleticism. Let's hope these wheels get healthy soon.
With Gordon added to the DL, in a subsequent move, Javy Guerra has been activated from the disabled list and could possibly see some action tonight. For a second, just imagine what the Dodgers record would be if the team was healthy. Ponder a bit if you will. I don't know about you but I am ready for the second half to begin, screw the popularity contest All-Star Game. Kemp, Ethier, Ellis, Guerrier, and Lilly all coming back within a couple weeks. Look out Gnats, first place belongs to the boys in blue.

Revealed: how City minister Andrea Leadsom used controversial trusts to reduce her potential inheritance-tax bill
New Help to Buy supremo also used offshore banking for buy-to-let property business
Tom Harper
Tom Harper is Investigations Reporter for the Evening Standard
Thursday 17 April 2014
Andrea Leadsom, the new City minister, used controversial trusts to reduce her potential tax bill and took advantage of offshore banking arrangements for her buy-to-let property company – in an apparent contradiction to George Osborne's attempts to crack down on tax avoidance.
The former Barclays banker, who was appointed to the Treasury by the Chancellor this month, is facing questions after it was disclosed that she had placed her shares in the property company into trusts for the benefit of her children – a move that is commonly used to avoid inheritance tax.
Bandal – the buy-to-let firm created by the former City high-flyer, 50, and her husband, another ex-banker – also created charges over two of its buy-to-let properties in favour of the offshore branch of an investment bank. The move indicates Ms Leadsom obtained loans from the Jersey-based wealth-management operation, secured against the buy-to-let properties.
The revelations are particularly embarrassing as Ms Leadsom now has overall responsibility for the Government's controversial Help to Buy property scheme – which has faced accusations of creating another house-price boom and pushing property ownership out of the reach of lower-income families.
Ms Leadsom resigned as a director of Bandal in February just before she was promoted to the Treasury in the reshuffle, and was replaced by her 18-year-old son. His occupation is listed as "student", according to documents at Companies House. In a sign of the apparent nervousness around the new minister's financial arrangements, Bandal's offshore charges, to Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Ltd, were also recently amended to the UK branch of the investment bank, just before Ms Leadsom stepped up to her ministerial post in charge of the City and financial regulation.
There is no suggestion that any of Ms Leadsom's schemes are unlawful but the City minister's former use of offshore banks to service her personal, buy-to-let property business is uncomfortable for the minister and her boss Mr Osborne, who has criticised tax avoidance schemes and railed against the use of offshore banking arrangements.
Last week, the Chancellor spoke of a stronger clampdown on people who hide their money in tax havens to avoid paying tax.
In a speech, Mr Osborne said: "A very important part of our economic plan is that everyone makes a fair contribution. The message is very simple – if you're hiding your money offshore, we are coming to get you."
Shabana Mahmood, shadow Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: "It would appear that Andrea Leadsom urgently needs to explain these arrangements and why they were put in place.
"The public are rightly angry when the tax system is manipulated by those with the money to do so. Ministers responsible for this state of affairs must themselves be above board and seen to be above board, so it would seem there are serious questions to answer here."
Lord Oakeshott, a former Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, said: "Ms Leadsom is sailing pretty close to the wind. I am surprised she had loans from banks in the Channel Islands while she was an MP and I can see why she would have wanted to clean all that up before becoming a Treasury minister."
In 2003, Ms Leadsom and her husband Benjamin set up Badal Ltd to invest in more than £1m-worth of properties in Oxford and Surrey. In 2005, the couple transferred 24 per cent of the shares to two trusts called the "Children's Settlement", in a move that was first reported by Private Eye.
One year later, in a bid to clamp down on tax avoidance, the-then Chancellor Gordon Brown moved to reform similar schemes, ruling that "transfers to nearly all new trusts and additions of assets to existing trusts will be subject to inheritance tax".
Charges over two of Ms Leadsom's buy-to-let properties in Oxford were created offshore in 2004 and 2006 in favour of Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Ltd, based in Jersey. These were moved back within the UK last October to Kleinwort Benson Bank Ltd, apparently as Ms Leadsom's Westminster star began to rise.
Before entering Parliament in 2010, she spent 25 years in the banking sector. Since becoming an MP, Ms Leadsom has campaigned vigorously against bankers' bonus caps and a financial transaction "Tobin" tax.
It is not the first time millionaire Tory ministers have been caught up in tax avoidance claims.
The Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, former Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell and Mr Osborne were all accused of legal tax avoidance in 2010 by Channel 4's Dispatches programme. All three men denied any wrongdoing.
A spokesperson for Ms Leadsom said: "This is a normal corporate situation and all tax that is due is being paid. None of the loans for the properties are based offshore."
Tax affairs: What she did
2003 Sets up buy-to-let property company with husband, invests £1m in houses in Oxford and Surrey.
2004 Charges over the property created in favour of Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Ltd, based in Jersey, a tax haven.
2005 Transfers 24 per cent of the shares in property company to two trusts set up for the benefit of her children.
2006 Another charge over a buy-to-let property created in favour of Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Ltd.
2010 Becomes a Tory MP.
2013 Moves the offshore charges back to the UK branch of Kleinwort Benson.
2014 Steps down as director of buy-to-let property company, becomes City minister in cabinet reshuffle.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
19 Aug 2011 20:29 GMT | Politics, Asia, Myanmar
Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met President Thein Sein for the first time in the capital, Naypyidaw.
The meeting is seen as the latest olive branch from the army-backed government that came to power this year after five decades of direct military rule.
Suu Kyi, who spent 15 years under house arrest for campaigning for democracy, flew to the capital for the meeting with Thein Sein, formerly a top general in the military regime.
It was the first visit by Suu Kyi to Naypyitaw, a city built in 2005 on a mountain plateau 330km north of Myanmar's old capital and biggest city, Yangon.
The meeting, which took place at the presidential palace, lasted nearly an hour and was "significant," a government source told The Associated Press news agency. However, no details of what was discussed were made public.
Nyan Win, the spokesman for Suu Kyi's Nation League for Democracy party told the AP that Suu Kyi's meeting "could be the first step toward national reconciliation," but declined to elaborate until details were available.
Suu Kyi, 66, was released when her latest term of house arrest expired last November, just after elections that were widely criticised as a sham after the army appeared to make sure it dominated parliament and the new cabinet.
Thein Sein, who took office in March, is regarded as one of the more moderate members of the new government which contains many hardliners opposed to any engagement with Suu Kyi.
The military's unbroken, 49-year grip on power officially ended in March, when the ruling State Peace and Development Council made way for a nominally civilian government led mostly by retired generals.
Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) boycotted the 2010 elections, because of election laws it said were unfair.
The NLD won the polls before that, in 1990, but was never allowed to take power.
Despite her detention, Suu Kyi, the daughter of Myanmar's late independence hero, General Aung San, remained the figurehead of the country's democratic movement.
