About Me
Jo Amos
The Geek Fairy
I have always enjoyed working with computers, both training people and writing manuals for programmes like Word and Outlook for people who have never sat in front of a pc before.
I started blogging and using WordPress.com 9 years ago and then once I had exhausted that I moved onto WordPress self hosted and taught myself how to make the site look and function how I needed it to.
I love building and changing sites as (in theory) you can either do something, or you can't, and if you can it is just about learning how to do it.
I work with clients and write tutorials for them so that if they want to work on the site themselves they can, or I am happy to do that side after the site is complete too.
I am friendly and understand that the majority of my clients don't like or want 'geek speak' they want things to be explained in clear easy to understand terms.
I am never far away from twitter or email for support or to deal with a geek crisis.
I am based in Essex, England but I work with clients all round the world.
And yes, I do actually wear geek glasses.

Students' frantic texts as bus driver falls asleep
SHELTON, Conn. (AP) - A Shelton bus driver has been arrested after police allege he repeatedly dozed off while driving 30 students.
Paul Pixley, of Derby, was charged Tuesday with 30 counts of risk of injury to a minor in the Dec. 16 incident.
He is due in court Wednesday.
It wasn't immediately known if he has an attorney.
Police say officers didn't find any children on board but detectives determined there had been 30 students. The students apparently got off at earlier stops.
The Shelton Public School District says Pixley will never drive for the district again.

The Name Behind Donna's Crafting Corner
Hello! My name is Donna Bowater and I am the owner of Donna's Crafting Corner.
Born in the summer of '75, growing up, you could say that I was some
what of a 'crafty' child. For as long as I can remember, I have loved making things. I enjoyed drawing and painting and
occasionally cross stitch when younger, and then in my teenage years I
developed a fondness for knitting, spending hours making knitted dolls
and Christmas tree decorations.
During my twenties I had a crafting dry spell, but I love learning
new crafts and in my early thirties I became interested in card making and spent several years designing
and creating my own handmade greeting cards.
However, as I approached my forties, I was looking for a new interest, a new passion, a new focus that I could potentially develop into more than just a hobby, and that's when I discovered jewellery making.
Designing and
creating my own jewellery pieces has truly become a labour of love and I
thoroughly enjoy spending every minute that I possibly can in my
crafting room designing new pieces.
I am completely self taught and have never attended any kind of jewellery making course but I pride myself on how much I have managed to learn just by watching the many online demonstrations and tutorials that are so widely available.
I very much enjoy making beaded jewellery pieces as I find the stringing and threading of beads very relaxing, plus there are so many beautiful beads available to source.
Crafting for me has always been a way of keeping my mind and
hands busy, and it seriously takes up all of my 'spare time'.
When I'm not looking after Tabitha, my very cute and adorable tabby or doing my day job (I work for a firm of Financial
Advisers), I'm busy watching jewellery making demo's or working in my
crafting room creating a new jewellery piece or managing the website.
Occasionally, it can seem somewhat overwhelming and I sometimes wish
that there were more hours in the day and more days in the week or that I
could even sprout an extra pair of hands when things get a little busy,
but I'm really passionate about what I do and really proud of what I
have achieved so far, so I can honestly say that I wouldn't change a
single thing.
I hope that my passion for making things will give me an amazing opportunity to
build a small business that works around my day to day life. Each and
every piece of jewellery that I make is made with the same
level of care and attention to detail as the one that came before, so if it's on this website, it's because I've made it myself.

President Nicolas Sarkozy has cancelled a trip to Russia to mark the anniversary of victory in World War II to focus on the financial crisis in Europe, the French embassy said Saturday.
"Taking into account the financial crisis across the eurozone, the president must stay Sunday on French soil to have discussions and will not go to Moscow," the embassy spokesman said in a statement to AFP.
"As a result, the ambassador (Jean de Gliniasty) will represent France at the parade."
Sarkozy had been due to join other world leaders Sunday at a parade marking the 65th anniversary of the World War II victory, where troops from four NATO states including France are to march through Red Square for the first time.

Here is a little snippet of Eleanor laughing from a few weeks ago. Her cousin Megan has a gift for getting her to giggle. This clip might make your head explode with cuteness, so beware. Also- you will have to forgive the background noise of someone (we wont say who) talking about dilating. We talk about pregnancy and all that jazz a lot.

They worked nicely. The only problems were that they fit a little smaller and the frames felt a little flimsy and would bend very easily.

It's been no secret that Captain America star Chris Evans has been planning on taking a break from acting after his Marvel contract concludes, culminating in : [The Avengers 3](movie:738027): Title Pending but it's The Infinity Gauntlet. What we didn't know is how long that break would be, and as Evans revealed in his latest interview with Variety, Cap - or at least his iteration of everyone's favorite patriot - could be hanging up the shield for good.
"If I'm acting at all, it's going to be under Marvel contract, or I'm going to be directing. ...I can't see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I'm contractually obligated to do.
Evans went on to clarify:
"The problem was initially, it was a nine-movie contract. And they said, if these movies take off and do very well, and my life changes and I don't respond well, I don't have the opportunity to say, listen, I need a f-ing break. That just scared me."
"They called back and they tweaked the deal. It went from nine (films) to six. I said no again. My family was even going, 'Are you sure you're making the right decisions?' It started to feel like maybe this is what I'm supposed to do."
Mild spoiler that you probably already know about Winter Soldier follows
Comparisons to Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan's contract being nine films have naturally led some to theorize Stan would be stepping into Captain America's shoes in fulfillment of Marvel canon. Considering what Evans said next, that theory is sounding far more likely.
"That's a good question. We can do this out loud. ('Avengers 2') will shoot till August. I wouldn't be surprised if for all of 2015, we didn't do a movie. I bet by 2017, I'll be done."
My Take:
I wasn't one to subscribe to the notion that Evans being replaced by Stan was Marvel's plan all along. Marvel has been trying to sign bigger and bigger contracts with their stable of actors in order to avoid the notorious RDJ contract re-negotiations, and Evans clearly stated that he was initially offered a nine-film deal but negotiated it down to six. That being said, there are several things leading me to reconsider my stance:
1) Evans clearly stated he is pretty much done after Avengers 3.
2) Sebastian Stan does have a nine-contract film deal.
3) Joss Whedon loves to subvert audience expectations and kill off beloved characters.
4) The Captain America brand is building momentum thanks to non-stop buzz for Winter Soldier and the " [Batman vs. Superman](movie:711870) vs. Cap" stand-off.
5) Marvel has no problem replacing anyone.
6) Marvel is planning to bump-up annual film output.
7) This:
Now, remember point three?
If Evans wants to leave acting, Stan has three more films, and Whedon is directing Avengers 3, can you honestly think of a more emotionally resonant, fan-expectation-shattering, poetic denouement for the first avenger?
I want to know what you guys think; so, let's vote!

The year was 1898. He was a 23-year-old subaltern fresh out of Sandhurst serving the British raj on the Northwest Frontier of the Indian subcontinent. Always restless and eager for action, and bored playing polo back at base, he volunteered with the cavalry when the Pashtun tribes grew restive near the Hindu Kush, long a pressure point in the Great Game that empires had been playing in that part of the world going back to the Mongols. And even Alexander. A deadly serious game that goes on to this day.
The eager young officer of the Queen's Own Hussars was soon "mentioned in despatches," and even wrote his own memoir of that campaign: The Story of the Malakand Field Force. It turned out to be a best-seller, full of high drama and swashbuckling adventure -- not to mention a lot of close calls that might have deprived the Empire of the figure who would one day take command at its most imperiled and, as it turned out, finest moment. His first book would turn out be only a harbinger of the many best-sellers he would write in what would prove a long and varied career. His name was Winston Churchill.

X Games sells 11 sponsorships, meets goals
Published June 25, 2012, Page 11
|In addition to overall sponsorships, ESPN for the first time is selling specific event deals.
"We're really pleased with the sales efforts," Johnson said. "We had a little bit of attrition because of business timing, [but] I would deem Winter and Summer X Games a success by all our goals."
For this week's event, ESPN's sales team sold three official partnerships (Ford, Navy and Red Bull), six event partners (Casio-Verizon, Geico, Hot Wheels, Mobil 1, Sony and Supercuts) and two other partners (GoPro and Olympus).
The only official partner from a year ago that opted not to return was BF Goodrich. The tire company developed a commercial around X Games competitor Shaun White last year and promoted it during Summer X, but it is not promoting that campaign this summer.
For the first time, ESPN sold event title sponsorships for the X Games. Sony will be the title sponsor of its Moto Step-Up competition, and GoPro will own BMX Big Air.
Official: Ford, Navy, Red Bull
Event: Casio-Verizon, Geico, Hot Wheels, Mobil 1, Sony, Supercuts
Others: GoPro, Olympus
Source: X Games
All three of those deals highlight what Johnson described as an X Games shift to customized packages.
"It's the way we're selling sponsorships and indicative of what we're going to do with global [X Games]," he said.
Johnson added that this week's event will be the last held under X Games' current sponsorship business model.
ESPN is taking the property global with events in France, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Los Angeles and Aspen, Colo. It is looking for six global sponsors that will have rights to all of those events. It also will sell local sponsorships in non-competing categories.
X Games will host dozens of prospective global X Games sponsors at this week's event.

Q&A: Charlie Fink
On the Kinks, Laura Marling and mandolins
Your new single L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N was just on the radio. To be honest, it reminded us a lot of Lola by the Kinks.
It's really funny. When we were recording that no one spotted it. The funny thing is, people name three or four different songs it reminds them of. I guess you are doing all right if it reminds them of something like [Lola].
The last we heard from Noah and the Whale you were poster boys for the London 'nu-folk' scene. But in your recent press shots you look as if you've just walked out of an Esquire cover shoot. Great hair -- and not a mandolin to be seen!
The reason we are dressing smarter is that our new album is about growing up. We've been in a band since we were quite young. People see you grow up in public, in a way. In the last three years we've changed quite a lot.
You were in a serious relationship with singer Laura Marling and even wrote an entire album about your break-up. It sounds as if you are trying to get away from all that on your new record.
I never feel shy about being candid. If you want a song to resonate, that's the best way to be. But part of me wanted to test myself. I was trying to write a third-person narrative. There's a real skill to be able to do something like that. Look at Tom Waits -- on Bone Machine he's duetting with himself. He has two different voices. That's a great thing to be able to do.
Of course, Laura is now stepping out with Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons. Previously regarded as understudies to Noah and the Whale, they've had huge success in the US this past year. You must be a little green at the gills, surely?
I think it's fantastic. Everyone is very surprised. I'm sure they are. None of us went into this thing expecting anything to happen. It's great for them. We are always pleased to see bands we know doing well.
Your brother Doug quit the band recently. A Gallagher-style bust-up, presumably ?
He's left to become a doctor. It's a pretty unique situation, it's very boring. Once you finish your six years of study, you need to do two years of shadowing, within two years of completing your course. Otherwise you would have to go back and study again. I know he is very conflicted about being either a drummer or a doctor.
The new album is extremely contemporary. Was the 'nu-folk' tag getting old?
It wasn't necessarily that I wanted to move away from people calling us nu-folk or whatever. When you are in a band and you tour a lot, it is easy to get in a bubble and act like a kid the whole time. People stay on the road and don't grow up. For us, this is a coming-of-age record. It's partly about taking your first step in the world and being a man.
The album Last Night On Earth is out today. Noah and the Whale play Whelan's, Dublin, on April 3 and Academy, Dublin, on May 8

Merkel says 'Guten Tag' to Washington
MERKEL SAYS 'GUTEN TAG' TO WASHINGTON: Following a snow delay earlier this week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to arrive at the White House today for a series of meetings with President Donald Trump and his advisers, as well as a roundtable that spokesman Sean Spicer said will focus "on the importance of vocational training." The visit kicks off shortly after 11 a.m., will feature a joint press conference around 1:20 p.m. and then culminate in a working lunch just before 2 p.m.
In terms of ideology and politics, Merkel and Trump are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Since he took the White House, they have disagreed over trade, currency, security and international cooperation in general, leading one trade expert to say the meeting might be deemed a success simply "if they're standing next to each other giving a few talking points at the end of the day." "It's kind of being portrayed as the leaders of the liberal order against the leader of the populist movement," said Caroline Freund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, "and I think we're all just going to be interested in seeing the expressions on their faces."
Story Continued Below
One thing already on Merkel's agenda is the border adjustment tax — she'll likely try to urge Trump against introducing or backing such a tax on imports from other countries, including by emphasizing that Germany is ready to retaliate should he ignore her appeal. German media, citing government papers drafted ahead of the visit, reported over the weekend that Germany is considering hitting back with tariffs against U.S. products.
Other potential topics include the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, the EU-U.S. free-trade deal — though Freund noted it is not particularly popular in Germany, and Trump's views on trade are well-established — as well as currency manipulation and the trade deficit between the United States and Germany, which is sizeable.
Given Merkel's position as the quasi leader of the EU, or at least one of the most powerful figures within it, she may also take the opportunity to remind Trump that the EU works as a bloc and not as individual members, despite the wishes of some of his top advisers. "What I'd most like to see — and would make me feel a lot more comfortable in this world we now live in — would be for Trump to recognize the importance of the EU for both security and as an economic project, and a successful one," Freund said.
IT'S FRIDAY, MARCH 17! Welcome to Morning Trade, where your host is donning her green attire and embracing her very Irish middle name in celebration of St. Patrick's Day today. Any trade-related thoughts, news or tips out there as we wind down the week — and before we set off in search of some emerald ales? Let me know: email@example.com or @mmcassella.
MERKEL'S HIGH STAKES: It's hard to overstate how much the German chancellor, who aides say has been preparing for her visit to the White House for weeks, has riding on this meeting, POLITICO Europe's Matthew Karnitschnig reports. "When it comes to the existential questions of the economy and security, the U.S. remains Germany's indispensable partner," Karnitschnig writes. "What's less obvious is what the U.S. gets out of the deal. Merkel's challenge during several hours of both one-on-one and group meetings with Trump will be to convince him that the answer is 'plenty.'"
To help sell her argument, Merkel is bringing high-profile CEOs of German companies to help the president recognize how much they invest in the U.S. and how many Americans they employ.
MNUCHIN MAKES THE ROUNDS IN EUROPE: While his boss hosts Merkel at the White House, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is engaged in talks of his own with his German counterpart, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, as part of his visit to Berlin this week for a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors from the world's 20 leading economies that begins today. Ahead of that, Mnuchin and Schäuble met for a little more than an hour on Thursday to discuss a range of issues, including a number of areas where Trump and Merkel have disagreed in the past.
"We did not solve all the open questions in a little bit more than an hour," Schäuble said at a joint press conference alongside Mnuchin. "This would be a little bit too much to ask … but we've found a good foundation."
Mnuchin said the White House plans to hold trade talks with the European Union as well as the bloc's individual member countries, our POLITICO Europe colleague Janosch Delcker reports. "It's complicated, and the answer is both," Mnuchin said when asked whether he saw the EU or its individual members as the partner in trade negotiations. "It is a series of relationships that we have with different countries … and a relationship that we have with the European Union and the common bloc."
It's not entirely clear what exactly Mnuchin meant, but the European Commission carries out trade negotiations for the EU as a whole, and individual members do not engage in separate talks. Trump and senior adviser Steve Bannon have both made comments indicating their preference for bilateral deals, including with individual EU members, but EU leaders have brushed off such ideas as "nonsense."
Before heading to Germany, Mnuchin made a stop across the pond Thursday to meet with his British counterpart, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond. As both countries continue to ramp up high-level dialogue while Britain negotiates its exit from the European Union, Thursday's meeting focused on Mnuchin's priorities, which include tax and regulatory reform, according to a readout of the meeting from the British Embassy. "They also discussed the importance of the U.K. and the European Union working constructively on a path forward as negotiations begin for the U.K. to exit the European Union," an embassy spokeswoman said.
"The Secretary and Chancellor emphasized the importance of the continued U.S.-U.K. partnership and our desire to work closely together, including through institutions like the G-20 and G-7, on international issues, such as promoting growth and jobs and countering the financing of terrorism," she added.
CANADA TO DEMS: WE'RE FOLLOWING PROCUREMENT RULES: A group of progressive Democrats seeking Trump's attention on procurement issues has yet to hear from the president, but they've gotten an unexpected response from another party: the Canadian ambassador to the United States. David MacNaughton sent a letter on Thursday to a group of progressive senators, who have been helping lead the charge to call on Trump to fulfill his "Buy America" promise, that defends Canada's open procurement system and warns that mandating domestic content purchasing requirements on private companies would violate NAFTA.
"Imposing local content requirements on the purchasing decisions of private companies is unprecedented and would have potentially severe and wide-ranging consequences, including vis-a-vis international trade obligations," he wrote in the letter addressed to Sens. Tammy Baldwin, Jeff Merkley, Chris Murphy and Jon Tester. "These are crucial principles that Canada and the United States have together championed for decades."
The letter appeared to be at least partly in response to a letter Baldwin and Merkley sent to Trump on Monday requesting that he make good on his "Buy American" pledge by suspending the procurement provisions of trade deals until they are renegotiated.
SONNY GETS HIS TIME TO SHINE: The Senate Agriculture Committee finally has a date for the confirmation hearing on Agriculture secretary nominee Sonny Perdue: March 23. The former two-term Republican governor of Georgia is among the last to get his hearing and faced long delays after being announced as Trump's pick on Jan. 19.
His hearing should be relatively smooth sailing, as Senate Democrats have signaled they won't block his nomination (though Sen. Debbie Stabenow, the committee's ranking member, has said she won't decide on whether to vote for him until she's had a chance to review all of his paperwork). He has widespread backing within the agriculture industry and has been welcomed by wide swathes of the trade world as well, given his long track record of promoting trade and promises to make it a priority. He also defended Trump's opposition to TPP in an interview with POLITICO before he was selected, saying the president wants to level the playing field because he understands how American farmers are often "tariffed out" of certain markets.
TRUDEAU FIRES NAFTA WARNING SHOT: Speaking of Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking Trump literally — and seriously — over his statements to make only minor changes to NAFTA, saying Canada is "always happy to do" such a negotiation. But if any changes were to go beyond "a few tweaks," he said, that could hurt jobs on both sides of the border.
"We've got auto parts crisscrossing the border six times before they end up in a finished product," Trudeau told NBC in an interview published Thursday morning. You've got over $2 billion a day going back and forth. So making sure that the border is … secure but also smooth in its flow of goods and people is essential to good jobs on both sides of the border." Read more here.
ALUMINUM GROUPS URGE ACTION ON OVERCAPACITY: Ahead of the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, this summer, aluminum groups from the U.S., EU and Canada are publicly urging their respective countries to put together a global forum to address the problem of global aluminum overcapacity. In a letter addressed to the G-20 "sherpas" from each of the three countries, the Aluminum Association, Aluminum Association of Canada, and European Aluminum called for a collective response to the ongoing issue and said it was the first time a global coalition has called for such an effort to address Chinese overcapacity.
"This situation not only significantly distorts international trade flows affecting all of our countries but also undermines global stability," they wrote, adding that China's "state-sponsored support is contributing to an unsustainable structure overcapacity" that will hinder further growth if it remains unaddressed. "Both the massive increase in production and the excess capacity have had a downward effect on the prices, generating significant economic and employment losses for our respective producers and economies."
The United States already took its first step to address the issue when it launched a case at the World Trade Organization in January targeting Chinese government subsidies in the aluminum sector, a move that the groups highlighted in the letter as a step forward.
"The upcoming G-20 summit represents a critical opportunity to work collectively to re-establish fair trade conditions in the global aluminum industry," they wrote. "Last year, the G-20 resulted in the creation of a Global Forum on steel excess capacity in order to increase information sharing and cooperation. Now is the time to recognize the excess capacity, which negatively impacts the competitiveness of the global aluminum industry."
A BUDGET BIG ON CUTS, SHORT ON SPECIFICS: The much-anticipated release of Trump's first budget blueprint on Thursday offered little clarity on the appropriations trade-related agencies may face when the fuller and detailed version is released in May. The administration left the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative entirely out of the blueprint — which included only appropriations for discretionary, not mandatory, spending — and released only topline numbers for other Cabinet agencies.
The "skinny budget" proposes cuts for a majority of domestic spending agencies, including those with some trade authorities: For the Commerce Department, the document proposes a $1.5 billion, or 16 percent, decrease in funding for the Commerce Department for the upcoming fiscal year. At the same time, it suggests strengthening "the International Trade Administration's trade enforcement and compliance functions, including the anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations, while rescaling the agency's export promotion and trade analysis activities."
At the Labor Department, the proposal requests $2.5 billion less for the 2018 budget than was approved in 2017, a 21 percent decrease, while suggesting "focusing" the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on making trade agreements fair for American workers as well as for helping states expand apprenticeship. In the same vein, the Treasury Department would see a $519 million, or 4.1 percent, decrease under the proposal while prioritizing funding for an "array of economic enforcement tools," including implementing sanctions.
Off the books: The plan, described as the "America First" budget, also proposes eliminating funding entirely for the Trade and Development Agency, which focuses on boosting exports of U.S. goods and services to specific development projects in emerging economies, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, which uses private capital to help finance development projects.
STIFF COMPETITION FOR 'AMERICAN MADE' IN LOBBYING: Turns out there's not enough room in this town for two American Made Coalitions. The American Made Coalition, which came together about a year ago to represent small manufacturers' interests and registered to lobby in September, terminated its registration this week as it faces competition from a second group with the same name, POLITICO Influence's Theodoric Meyer reports. The other American Made Coalition was organized earlier this year on behalf of behemoths like General Electric and Boeing to champion House Speaker Paul Ryan's proposed border adjustment tax. "We were competing," said Laurence Socci, a longtime lobbyist and the executive director of the first American Made Coalition. "There was a lot of confusion going on. I decided it would be a good time to back out for now."
Socci said his group is comprised of 15-20 members, mostly mom-and-pop manufacturers of things like furniture and bicycles. The group has been working on getting "Buy American" provisions included in Trump's proposed infrastructure package. His group isn't shutting down, though, and may re-register under a new name. "We'll hopefully come back very soon," he said.
TRADE REMEDY CORNER — RULING DUE ON IRON ALLOY IMPORTS FROM SOUTH KOREA: The Commerce Department's final determination in an anti-dumping case regarding imports of ferrovanadium, an alloy of iron and vanadium, from South Korea is due today. Imports of the product, which is primarily used to boost the strength and wear resistance of steel and to help produce various construction and engineering alloy steels, were valued at $16 million in 2015. Stay tuned for more on the case — petitioned by Washington, D.C.-based Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers Association and its members — later today.
— Merkel spoke by telephone with Chinese President Xi Jinping shortly before departing for the White House, a signal that she was trying to reach a common negotiating position with China ahead of the G-20 summit, Handelsblatt reports.
— Opposing insurance groups are lobbying the Treasury Department over a pending insurance regulation agreement between the U.S. and EU, POLITICO reports.
— ICYMI, members of South Korea's export industry are beginning to worry that the Trump administration may take steps to undo the South Korea-U.S. free-trade deal after advisers ramped up rhetoric against it, The Wall Street Journal reports.
— Mnuchin faces a currency conundrum at the G-20, given that Trump thinks the dollar is too strong and others' currency is too weak yet he is pushing domestic economic proposals that only make the dollar stronger, The Wall Street Journal reports.
— Japan has abruptly canceled a trilateral meeting planned for the end of June with China and South Korea where many were hoping the three countries would begin to ease relations, and it is not yet clear why, Asahi reports.

What do people think when they hear your name?
Sassy or astute? Party animal or animal activist? Worldly or well-travelled? What is it that people think when they hear your name. Janet Faulding, General Manager of SEEK New Zealand, shares her thoughts on personal branding.
Many a marketer's success has been defined by their ability to build brands. But today, brand building is not just for the marketing department, it's for individuals too. Brands are no longer the realm of the corporate, but also the responsibility of the individual and there is actually little difference, besides the obvious, between the approach in developing a corporate brand and personal brand. Both focus on core values, vision and how best to market the brand to the rest of the world.
There are three things you need to know about your personal brand – it has to be authentic, it is all encompassing and it has to be unique to yourself. Focus on it from these three angles and you will develop a brand that speaks for itself and promotes yourself in the best possible light.
3 personal branding essentials
Authenticity – your brand encapsulates your thoughts, words and actions, and the truer these are to your values the more authentic your brand is. The more authentic, the more people are drawn to you and the easier it is to build and promote yourself.
All encompassing – your brand doesn't stop at 5pm, it is with you wherever you go. Good or bad, it follows you on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, political rallies and the bar on Friday night; from the ski field to a rousing debate at a dinner party. It covers the way you behave, speak and interact over all mediums and with all people. Your brand is never off duty and that's why authenticity is imperative; no one can keep up a charade that long.
Unique – no two humans are the same, therefore no two personal brands are the same. Do not try to emulate the kind of brand you think is attractive to employers or your peers. Promote all that is good and true about yourself.
Promoting your personal brand
Once you have developed your brand, you then have to learn how to effectively promote it. This must be done with true self awareness of who you are, what you have to offer and what makes yourself different, and it must all be done authentically. Treat every connection with the same degree of interest and importance, because like the old saying goes "be nice to people on the way up, because you will meet them on the way down".
A personal brand is not reserved for the youthful, in fact it can be almost more important as you age to retain focus on who you are and what you represent. You see, for me and my peers (40+ thank you), the challenge is to remain relevant in the market. This is everything from how you look and how you dress to understanding and participating in the technological advancements that shape the business world today.
Too many people as they age don't want to learn new tricks. They think that personal brand doesn't matter to them. But it does and they have the richest base to draw off – old fashioned face-to-face connections, experience and reputation.
While some people bemoan the 'always on' mentality of a personal brand, if you are true to yourself and always portray the best version of you, it isn't a chore but merely a magnified version of your reputation.
Building an effective personal brand is not hard work, but it does need some thought and attention. But get it right and you'll reap the rewards.

Top prize in Bridgestone contest goes to Waltham motorist
Jane Robinson receives the key to her new BMW from Bush Tyres' Ben Bush
Taking your car in for its annual MOT test and a new set of tyres is rarely an experience to remember – but for one Lincolnshire motorist, the occasion was an event that will live long in the memory, as it resulted in her becoming the proud owner of a brand spanking new BMW 1 Series.When Jane Robinson, from Waltham, took her family car to Bush Tyres in Grimsby for its routine check and a new set of Bridgestone tyres, she entered into a competition to win a gleaming new car. "I never win anything," comments the 65-year-old. "The car needed an MOT towards the end of August and due to the amount of travelling that me and my husband do with my grandson, we were certain that we'd need new tyres.
"We entered the competition and completely forgot about it," she adds. "When we received the call last week, I was lost for words. I can't wait to take my first drive in the car. I'll make sure that I get into the driver's seat before my husband does!"
Bridgestone ran the promotion over August and September, which gave motorists the chance to win the headline prize after purchasing a set of the company's premium products. "These competitions have always been extremely popular with drivers and Bush Tyres were extremely pro-active in getting their customers to enter," shares Mark Fereday, Bridgestone's consumer sales and training development manager. "It is great to see such a delighted overall winner in Jane. We're so glad that she has won and can't wait to hear how she enjoys her new driving experience."
Bush Tyres offers MOT's and services alongside its selection of premium brand tyres to suit all models and manufacturers. The company's 18 garages are located across the north east and east of England.

Hot on the heels of Appleby Creamery Organic Brie (http://www.slow-life.co.uk/2011/08/31/appleby-organic-brie/) winning the prize for 'Best Cheese' at the Fine Dining Awards, its retailer, and my favourite food shop, Low Sizergh Barn won the Cumbria Life award tonight for the county's best Farm Shop. The citation spoke of their amazing tea shop and their range of 2,000 products, but the best thing of all about Sizergh Barn, which nobody mentioned, is their magnificent policy on carrier bags. So many places try to big up their shaky environmental credentials by charging for carrier bags or being po-faced if you don't have a 'bag for life'. There's none of that hypocrisy at Low Sizergh. At Low Sizergh carrier bags are given spontaneously and freely. It's a simple reflection of their friendly, hospitable approach to their customers.
The award for Dining Pub of the year was given to The Highwayman at Burrow. I'm still trying to get my head around this. Not that it isn't a decent place, it's just that there's nothing remotely Cumbrian about it. It's in Lancashire, it's owned by Lancastrians and it champions Lancastrian suppliers. Perhaps they have a Cumbrian cat.

It is common sense that, when a man respects himself enough to keep in decent shape and dress well, he will feel better. Looking and feeling better will likewise not hurt him on the dating market. Even if it still does not get him any action, he will feel better either way. It is a win-win situation.
The definition of self-improvement, in this scenario is of course something we can debate over. The definition I am going by is: "a healthy mind in a healthy body". This will not hurt you. It has nothing to do with things that we cannot touch or measure, such as a man's morals or his character. You argue that a man with a good character, good morals, is at a disadvantage in the Western world. I am purely speaking about a man improving himself in the physical and mental sense of the word.
Seconded Marcos and Frank. Thanks for this posts. Will stay away from Sluthate or any incels websites from now on as frequenting are of no help at all. Its more or less crabs pulling each other into the bucket. On the other hand I out to stop bashing Thai women. It may be true that many foreign guys have been ripped off by them but IMHO I have not been treated badly by Thai women in any shape or form , its merely me being unable to get relationships and being frustrated about it.
I will be focusing on losing weight and trying to shake off negativity
You also might want to take a little hop to the PI. It's a friendlier culture, you can get your bearings there and then work your way up to the Thais.

I would think having lamb or beef would be the choice. And how did the Easter bunny laying chicken eggs? I know eggs are a symbol of birth and life, but what about the rabbit?
sort by best latest
Jesus is seen as the fulfillment of the law, allowing you to move beyond the 600+ rules of Kosher living.
Then you had the arguments between Peter and John on whether you had to follow Jewish customs like circumcision to be Christian - and Peter won in order to gain / maintain gentile converts.
So they said you keep the monotheism, but kosher dietary laws and sacrifices are no longer required.

Thank you for your answer -but what about the Easter Bunny?
Great answer!!!
Isn't the Easter bunny symbolic for spring arriving and winter has passed? Hop, hop, hop in the meadows new green fields. I dun'no . . .
The rabbit is the favored animal of Oester, the pagan goddess that is honored by the "Easter" celebration. The eggs are for fertility, another springtime pagan festival. The resurection celebration was added to these pagan rites.
As Tamara explains in her answer Jesus was the fulfillment of the law. I would add to that, that when God is speaking to Peter in a dream he says to him arise, kill and eat. And Peter says not so lord for it is unclean. And the Lord answers back and says, that which I have blessed call thou not common (unclean). So now you have a Christian body fulfilling the law through faith and praying over a nice juicy ham dinner! The bunny? In ancient times, Easter was all about spring rites of fertility. The rabbit is a rapid reproduction machine and thus used as a symbol of fertility. But so we're grapes! - H

Jesus offers the Lord's Supper "on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb" - http://www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/how-do-w...
The simplest answer is that Christians are not Jewish, they are Gentiles, so eating ham is okay to eat at any time of the year. The Jews do not eat ham on Easter (or any other time) as it violates their religious dietary laws. Why ham is the preferred Easter meat is something I can't fully answer other than it is fairly inexpensive and readily available for most people compared to lamb and beef, which are more expensive.
The Easter bunny is a secular symbol, not a Christian symbol, so a rabbit laying (chocolate) eggs makes as much sense as a bunny representing a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. In other words, it only makes sense to the person or advertising agency that came up with it in the first place. This is the same for Santa Clause at Christmas. He is a secular symbol created by an advertising agency to sell more product, and definitely is not a Christian symbol despite people trying to tie him to St. Nicolas of Germany. Neither the Easter bunny or Santa Clause, or the rituals surrounding them, show up anywhere in the Bible.
Hopefully this helps you separate the truth from the secular add-ons for your next Easter or Christmas.

Here's my reply to Gia Milinovich's second recent blog entry tiptoeing around the delicate subject of trans rights and whether we should be allowed to have any. Note that her blog entries themselves don't explicitly state this, but if you read her various discussions with people on Twitter at the time, her motivation and true feelings on this subject become clear. This reply of mine is still awaiting moderation on the blog entry's page 24 hours after posting it, so lest it be lost forever, here it is:
First of all, let's ensure we're not arguing semantics. I don't think anybody is arguing the point that gender roles are arbitrary social constructs. Gender identity, however, is essentially your neurological body map telling you which sexual characteristics your body should have. I realise that it's difficult to notice you have a body map when it happens to be aligned with your body. It's the kind of thing you only notice when there's something wrong, a mismatch between what your brain's set up to receive stimulus from and what's actually there. But that doesn't stop you from having a body map, just because you don't notice it. Similarly, if your clothes fit, you probably won't spent much of the day thinking about the fact you're wearing them, but that doesn't mean you're naked just because you don't constantly notice them.
So with the semantics out of the way, we merely have to look at the brains of transsexuals to see that they're sane and telling the truth about who they are: transsexual women are women, and transsexual men are men. With the parts of the brain that are on average sexually dimorphic (the same way height is on average sexually dimorphic, and if you looked at the average height of a group of women and a group of men, you could tell which was which, even though for any given person you couldn't tell their gender based on their height), you can look at groups of women, both cis and trans, and groups of men, both cis and trans, and see that on average trans women and cis women are more alike than not, and trans men and cis men are more alike than not, and that while there's substantial overlap between women and men, they do tend to correlate around different measurable values.
While this area of neurology is still in its infancy and requires a lot more experimentation, data and studying, we're already getting to the point where there's no controversy about this, among experts in the field. I'd suggest we listen to them, rather than speculate amongst ourselves.
Here's what Robert Sapolsky has to say on the matter of transsexual brains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOY3QH_jOtE#t=1h23m52s
This is what Margaret M. McCarthy says about the sexual dimorphism of brains generally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0M154oM4c
Here's Veronica Drantz giving a presentation on the myth of the gender binary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1oVv59o-UQ
If you'd rather go straight to the source and read the actual white papers, I'd recommend those curated by Zoë Brain, above: http://aebrain.blogspot.com.au/p/transsexual-and-intersex-gender-identity.html Of course, you should read as many as you can if you're interested in the topic, to get a better feel for what's borne out and well replicated versus what seems questionable in terms of methodology and conclusions drawn.
It's always worth bearing in mind that we're talking about things that have very real consequences for real people, when it comes to the rights of already much maligned transsex and intersex people. It's also worth bearing in mind that discovering how the universe actually works is always more interesting than cherry picking what you're looking at in order to achieve confirmation bias. How sex and gender actually work is much more interesting than the kyriarchy or TERFs seem to be willing to see.

Banks ponder Arnotts stock market flotation
A future return to the stock market for Arnotts is one of the options that could be pursued as an exit strategy for Anglo Irish Bank and Ulster Bank, according to Mark Schwartz, the new chairman of the iconic Dublin department store.
The two banks, which are owed about €300m by Arnotts, gained formal control of the retailer this week after the European Commission gave the go-ahead for the move.
A flotation of the retail business would mark its second time on the stock market. Arnotts made its original debut as a listed stock back in 1875, just over a decade after it was founded. It was delisted in July 2003 after a takeover battle which was prompted by a move made by financier Peter O'Grady Walshe but was eventually won by a vehicle headed by Richard Nesbitt.
Mr Nesbitt was formally replaced as chairman this week by Mr Schwartz, a retail expert from the United States who was parachuted in by the banks and has been effectively running the operation for a number of months.
Mr Nesbitt, whose family has been involved with Arnotts for more than a century, is remaining as a non-executive director.
He amassed the €300m debt pile at the department store operator as he sought to create an extensive €750m shopping zone surrounding Arnotts.
Mr Schwartz has said that a stock market flotation, bringing on board new investors or a refinancing are all options that could be considered at a later stage.
He told industry magazine 'Drapers' in an interview to be published today Arnotts remains "very profitable, both from an earnings and cash point of view".
Without referring to a specific timeframe, he added that sales had increased by a high, single-digit percentage and that margins had improved.
Mr Schwartz said that the two banks wanted him to focus on running the core retail business in the short to medium-term and that Arnotts does not require any additional investment at present.
He added that a new working capital facility negotiated with Anglo and Royal Bank of Scotland-owned Ulster Bank would enable him to bring new brands to Arnotts and also to boost capital expenditure at the retailer.
Mr Schwartz, who is chief executive of Palladin Capital Group, is undertaking a review of senior executive management positions.
That is likely to focus on three key positions - group chief executive Brian Kearney, chief financial officer Declan Delanty and chief executive of Arnotts' retail operations, David Riddiford.
When the takeover battle for Arnotts commenced in 2002, the initial offer of €11.50 per share valued the firm at just over €204m.

I keep seeing there is potential for severe storms. What time is it all supposed to hit?
I'm ready for some storms. Love the thunder and lightning.
We are all going to die!!!
No! I want to ride my bicycle!
I see less than 5% chance on storms.
weather.com has 60% on Sat and 80% on Sun
3 ft of snow? What?
Small isolated chance soooooo...no.
Yeah. Severe threat looks fairly limited at this point. Some hail possible.
Looks like we have a shot a finally getting some healthy rain though.
5% number was on Strong / Severe storms. Garden variety, yep, thats in the 60%

The Metrolink commuter railroad took a step to improve customer relations on Wednesday when it began offering a mobile ticketing app for riders on its Inland Empire-Orange County Line.
For the first time in Metrolink's 23-year history, the pilot program will give its passengers the option of buying tickets on their smartphones, personal tablets, laptops or other mobile devices.
The app, which is available for free at both Google Play and Apple App stores, also will allow riders to transfer to connecting bus service at no additional cost.
See more of our top stories on Facebook >>
Metrolink officials say the pilot program will provide an opportunity to test the app and make improvements before it is scheduled to be implemented systemwide in April.
"This is a milestone for the agency and it's a pleasure for us to provide the option to our passengers," said Sherita Coffelt, a spokesperson for Metrolink.
The commuter railroad has 512 miles of track and serves six Southern California counties -- Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura.
Its Inland Empire-Orange County Line runs from Oceanside to San Bernardino and includes 14 stops, including Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Corona and Riverside.
Metrolink officials say the app should give passengers a reliable and convenient alternative to the railroad's faulty ticket vending machines that have caused problems for passengers systemwide.
Rail officials say they hope to scale back the use of vending machines in the future and replace them with a variety of ticketing options.
In the fall, passengers with Metrolink's mobile tickets will be able to use barcode readers at the gates for light rail and subway lines operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
This will enable Metrolink passengers to continue their commutes on dozens of city bus, shuttle bus, and rail systems that serve the region. Amtrak also is preparing to accept tickets purchased with Metrolink's app.

Calderdale Council has further funds to spend on community groups in the next financial year.
In 2013/14, 25 community groups were allocated council funding to help with costs from transport costs to recruitment expenses.
The coming of the Tour de France to Calderdale and Yorkshire Festival has encouraged the establishment of community groups who have benefited from the council's Small Grants Panel.
Long established dance group Annapurna Indian Dance were awarded £675 to add an extra performance of their 'Bicycle with Barefoot' dance in Brighouse in the Yorkshire Festival fringe programme.
Another beneficiary, Outta Place Ltd. was allocated £1,000 from the panel towards dance projects during the Tour de France.
Calderdale Council's Cabinet Member for Communities, Cllr Steve Sweeney, said: "Calderdale is lucky to be host to a great number of successful and diverse events and festivals, and it's fantastic that the Council has a designated fund to help these flourish.
"This year is especially exciting as we have so many Yorkshire Festival 2014 and fringe events taking place in the borough. I'm pleased that we can offer financial support to help support community organisations and increase cultural events in the borough."
