LinkedIn is an invaluable tool for practising lawyers, helping to build and strengthen their business network and obtain new clients in the most time-efficient way; forming the basis for them to take the online relationships offline. It is also a very valuable yet surprisingly underused tool for budding lawyers hoping to enter the profession.
LinkedIn can help you to take your first step into the field; it can help you find the right contacts to get your foot in the door or help you to understand more about the people you meet at your training contract or vacation scheme interview.
However, as well as obtaining that precious vacation scheme or training contract, getting to grips with how to make the most of LinkedIn will put you in a strong position for the rest of your career – the majority of solicitors have LinkedIn accounts (68% of UK lawyers are currently on LinkedIn) but many are not using it to its full potential. If you can make it work for you the returns will span far into your career. So, what better time to start than now?
Here are five 'top tips' to help you maximise returns from LinkedIn and get the most from your LinkedIn activities:
Get to know your network
Whilst it is important to build your network on LinkedIn, don't just click the 'accept' button and leave it at that. If the connection is someone who could advise you on your career, why not take the opportunity to accept their invitation and then send an email via LinkedIn to get some tips or even arrange a coffee or quick chat?
As with Facebook and Twitter, there is pressure to have as many contacts or possible. Your network will naturally grow and the value of your LinkedIn introductions, endorsements and recommendations will be affected if your network is full of strangers.
With this in mind, it's good to go into it with a legal focus - not only will a network of solicitors and legal professionals come in handy for your career, they'll also share a lot of interesting law-focused content on your LinkedIn feed.
Make sure your invitations to connect are customised
Don't use the standard LinkedIn message; explain your situation and why you want to connect, and this will add a personal touch and get the conversation started. After all, you wouldn't approach everyone you meet in real life with the same "Hi Mark. I am interested and would like to learn more" greeting.
Join groups (and contribute!)
It is good to join a mixture of law focused groups; this will help you to demonstrate that you are serious about a career in the industry and will enable you to network with others at the same stage in their careers as well as qualified lawyers. Equally important is that this will give potential employers a taste of your personality and whether you might fit into the culture of their firm, the value of which cannot be underestimated!
Share content regularly
Make sure that you share something of value to your network, not just something you want to broadcast, and strive to do this on a weekly basis. Make use of the status update feature on your profile to share interesting articles, and let your connections know what you are doing. This is a great way to show your commercial awareness and engage with law articles and publications. The more you do this, the better.
Always be polite, never reveal confidential information
Don't say anything through your LinkedIn activities that you would not feel comfortable saying in an offline networking event. An example could be that on an open day at a firm's offices you are told or came across information which you are not sure is confidential or not. Act cautiously and, if in doubt, don't share it!

While the Atlanta Braves are gearing up for their second season in Cobb County's SunTrust Park, The Battery Atlanta has shown that the area around the stadium is a true year-round destination with food, fun and games for all.
"We're here all the time, even when baseball isn't," said Lauren Abernethy, director of marketing for Braves Development Co., which owns and operates the property.
To see everything that this live/work/play locale has to offer will take more than one trip. Much more. There are 14 restaurants, many of which are managed by some of Atlanta's top chefs, plus shops and entertainment destinations such as The Coca-Cola Roxy and Punch Bowl Social. Naturally, 2017 was a year of firsts for everyone involved.
"The Battery Atlanta is most certainly active year-round with so many great things happening all the time on campus, including shows at the Coca-Cola Roxy, weekly events at Live! at the Battery Atlanta, and plaza events like our corn hole and wiffleball leagues and the Xfinity Movie Series," said Jeremy Strife, SVP and general manager of The Battery Atlanta.
"In the last few months, we have hosted a lot of firsts of our own, including a tree lighting and the New Year's Eve Bash presented by Xfinity. The energy here on a game day is undeniable, but the experiences throughout The Battery Atlanta have added to the excitement of those game days."
When the Braves made the move out of Atlanta and Turner Field, they did so with the intention of creating a year-round destination rather than one only frequented during the team's 81 home games. It's safe to say that goal has been accomplished via The Battery Atlanta.
Before games begin, the area swirls with activity as fans take in food and drink at places like Antico Pizza Napoletana, Yard House and Sports & Social, not to mention the fountain area and entertainment from the Braves' "Heavy Hitters" drumline and cheerleaders.
But visiting on any given weekend or even on weeknights, guests will find the development still pulsating. Not only that, parking at The Battery Atlanta's parking structures is usually free on non-game days for up to four hours.
"There is a big misconception with parking," said Abernethy. "You can absolutely come here for dinner and not pay to park."
Specifically, parking in the red, green, and purple garages is completely free for up to four hours on most non-game days, and $10 for between four and five hours. A maximum charge of $30 is assessed for stays between seven and 24 hours.
Customers parking in the red deck who spend $50 or more at a Battery merchant will be provided a validation directly from the tenant even if they stay for longer than four hours. Groups splitting checks will receive one validation per every $50 spent.
Other transportation options include Uber and public transportation (CobbLinc and the Cumberland Circulator). Bicycle parking stations abound as well, meaning there are many ways to enjoy at night out near the stadium.
Braves players and coaches are far from the only celebrities who can be spotted at The Battery Atlanta. The Coca-Cola Roxy welcomes A-list acts year-round, from The Shins to Billy Idol, Dropkick Murphys to Miguel. SunTrust Park hosts concerts as well, with several acts scheduled for this summer, including Zac Brown Band performing on June 30, Def Leppard and Journey playing July 1, and Jason Aldean stopping by July 21.
Actor Mark Wahlberg and his brother, Donnie, have both dropped in their restaurant, Wahlburgers, located on the western side of The Battery Atlanta. In short, the area does not take a break, whether it's July or January.
"To see this dynamic, one-of-a-kind development come alive over the past year is the biggest success (of year one)," said Strife. "It's truly a one-of-a-kind development with great dining, shopping, and entertainment, plus living, working and a world-class ballpark."
New for 2018
As much success as The Battery Atlanta enjoyed in 2017, this year should be even better for fans. New on tap for 2018 are more retail and restaurants, including Punch Bowl Social, El Super Pan, OrthoAtlanta, Sweet Pete's, Garden & Gun Club, Burn by Rocky Patel, Select Shades and SunTrust Bank. Officials promise more announcements to come.
Punch Bowl Social is an "eatertainment" concept, announced in January 2017, that will span roughly 27,000 square feet. It features made-from-scratch cuisine, karaoke, craft beer and vintage video games, and of course bowling. Punch Bowl Social already operates in other markets, including Minneapolis, Detroit, Denver, Austin, Indianapolis and Cleveland.
Battery officials said the concept will cement the area as an exciting entertainment destination. It's a place where families or groups of friends can stop by to bowl after dinner and/or shopping. If time allows, the bowling could be followed up by a show at the Coca-Cola Roxy.
Not that Punch Bowl Social is the only new attraction to be excited about. El Super Pan is Puerto Rican Chef Hector Santiago's innovative take on classic Latino bakery food, while Sweet Pete's is not only a unique candy shop, but a place where groups can take tours and candy making classes. "These are all great additions to our line-up of experiential and memory making concepts,"Strife said.
Lastly, out-of-town guests, conventioneers and Braves fans have a new place to stay just outside the SunTrust Park outfield: the Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta. The luxury hotel features 16 floors with 236 rooms, 28 suites and more than 20,000 square feet of meeting space. Not only that, the hotel features an elevated pool deck and bar in addition to a signature restaurant, Achie's, serving Southern-inspired fare and craft beer from acclaimed chef and author Hugh Acheson. Aside from SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta, the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Cobb Galleria Centre and Cumberland Mall are all less than a mile away.
"We were excited to celebrate the official ribbon cutting ceremony with our friends at the Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta," Strife said about the January 2018 event. "The four-star experience at the Omni provides a high-quality and convenient option for our out-of-town guests. The addition of a first-class hotel brand is a home run; it's a phenomenal facility with gorgeous views of SunTrust Park. And the opening of Achie's, the hotel's restaurant, brings yet another great dining option to The Battery Atlanta."
Still succeeding
The "work" in live/work/play is alive and well inside The Battery Atlanta thanks to Spaces, a co-working concept opened last year inside the $1-billion, mixed-use development. All Spaces locations provide 24-hour access to dedicated desks and office space for members. A business club is also open Monday through Friday serving the venue.
Of course, many leading restaurants will continue to serve fans and visitors as well. Antico, which opened its first Atlanta location in 2009, was among the first restaurants announced for The Battery Atlanta and has become the only pizzeria in the U.S. with 4.5 stars on Yelp.
The Terrapin Taproom combines the southern favorites of beer, barbecue and baseball, thanks to the team of Terrapin Beer Co., Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and the Atlanta Braves. The microbrewery is located adjacent to SunTrust Park and offers a rotating tap list and the ATL Brew Lab, including some baseball-themed beers.
Located nearby is Todd English Tavern, a modern take on both Southern and international food. Chef English spent much of his youth living in Atlanta, and the restaurant is a celebration of his roots and heritage.
Overall, The Battery Atlanta continues to showcase the success the Atlanta Braves and Braves Development Co. have enjoyed, both inside SunTrust Park and outside. The team hopes to keep that momentum moving forward for years to come. "It's really fun to be out here at The Battery Atlanta," said Abernethy. "The retail and restaurants are hopping every night of the week."

Kieryn and Hännah are joined by Christopher Stroop and Emily Maust Wood to discuss the newly released Statement on Social Justice (cosigned and written by the likes of John MacArthur, James White, and Voddie Baucham.
What does this statement mean, when translated from evangelical-ese? Why is this important? How does a Christian concerned with social justice respond?
Okay all, let's talk about this real quick and it's implications for the so-called #SocialJusticeStatement .
Let's start by noting that the name "Stan Hannon" is a misspelling.

Stan Hannon is pastor of FBC, Bellevue, FL. I preached for him a few years ago and talked to him this morning. Great, great guy.

When it comes to the retail sector, reputation is everything. Your companies reputation is what will drive customers to your store. Unfortunately, this can be quite difficult for a retailer to control as there is third party businesses involved in the supply of goods to their customers. Some companies damage their reputation through their own negligence but in the retail sector the uncontrollable reputational risk that's out of their hands is most common.A perfect example of this would be during Christmas time when retailers promise Christmas delivery if consumers complete their transaction by the 23rd of December. Of course the retailers believe this to be a promise they can keep, but unfortunately the third party logistic companies can run into their own problems and thus the products may not always get to the customers on time.Unfortunately in this type of situation, it's the retailer in the line of fire as the customer now blames them for making a promise that they couldn't live up to.
Thanks to social media, customers now have a louder voice and an audience that wants to listen which often results in these dissatisfied consumers posting negative and sometimes unfair comments about their unfortunate experience with the retailer which can greatly damage the companies brand reputation. This type of problem is best dealt with as swiftly and efficiently as possible by getting to the bottom of the issue and doing the utmost to rectify it.Another reputational risk to the retail sector is malicious rumours spreading and going viral online. A perfect example of this type of case would be the bath salts scare a few years ago. Even though bath salts weren't actually the recreational drug that was causing violent outbreaks the malicious rumours and horror stories misled alot of consumers and they avoided buying bath salts completely, out of fear. The best way to deal with a situation like this in the first instance would be organising a favourable press release before the rumour spreads. Have a read of the interesting article below on the cost of rectifying the damage of a malicious rumour.
Reputation risk can be difficult to prepare for no matter what industry you're business resides. If a risk does pop up, it is important to respond as quickly and as appropriately as possible. This will help mitigate the threat. New tools such as social media can often be the catalyst for brand horror stories, however, they can just as easily be used by companies to discover potential reputational threats and address them before they spiral out of control. One-off issues are easily resolved and won't impact your business reputation in the long term. Yet, if a business continues to make mistakes by just handling complaints incorrectly and not consistently monitoring their online presence and brand mentions, they will eventually lose all credibility.

Published at Tuesday, May 15th, 2018 - 22:20:55 PM. Living Room. By Armina Köhler.
Your living room need not be furnished and decorated to a specific historical period, but should at least appear to be matched and perhaps follow a certain theme in terms of color or period. For example, Amish furniture looks best in a plainly decorated room, and would look out of place with lush drapes, heavily patterned carpets or event brightly painted walls.
You can also experiment with different types of furniture for different requirements. For instance, Amish furniture could be used to show your sense of appreciation towards craftsmanship. Remember, your living room also doubles up as the place to entertain your guests and business delegates. And carefully crafted Amish Oak furniture might just land you a lucrative long-term contract! Wicker furniture may also be used to lend variety in the living room. Plastic furniture is easier to handle.

For the uninitiated, kabaddi, the ancient Indian game that is taking the world's second-most populous country by storm, looks far too simple to be a professional sport. A hybrid of rugby, touch football and the playground game known in England as British Bulldog and in the United States as Red Rover ("Red rover, red rover, let Tommy come over..."), kabaddi (pronounced kuh-bud-DEE) uses no balls, pucks, nets, goal posts, hoops, holes, rackets, clubs, sticks or bats.

War correspondent Peter Arnett to speak at Fresno State symposium
• New Zealand-born reporter Peter Arnett will speak about the media's critical coverage of war starting in Vietnam.
• Arnett won a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting in 1966 and an Emmy for his dramatic coverage of the first Gulf War in 1991.
• He became controversial when he gave an interview to state-run Iraqi TV criticizing the U.S. government's war plan.
Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Peter Arnett, who became most famous for his coverage of the first Gulf War and an interview with Saddam Hussein, headlines this year's Roger Tatarian Symposium at Fresno State.
Arnett, who retired in 2007 and is now living in Orange County, will speak from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday in the Satellite Student Union. His talk will focus on the media's coverage of war.
The Tatarian Symposium, which is free and open to the public, brings top figures in journalism to campus for lectures. The event honors the late Roger Tatarian, a former editor-in-chief of United Press International and a longtime journalism professor at Fresno State.
The lecture is sponsored by Fresno State's College of Arts and Humanities and the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism.
Arnett, a New Zealand native, started his career as a weekly newspaper reporter at age 17 and worked his way up to dailies in Australia and Thailand. In 1960, he was a stringer for The Associated Press in Laos where he swam across the Mekong River to Thailand several times to file his stories when the Lao government was overthrown.
The AP later sent Arnett to Ho Chi Minh City to cover the Vietnam War. He stayed for 13 years and in 1966 won a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. Arnett continued working in Vietnam even as his colleagues were evacuated in 1975. He was typing a story in the AP office when soldiers walked in. Arnett offered them warm sodas and continued writing about the day's events.
Six years later, Arnett joined CNN. He won an Emmy for his dramatic coverage of the first Gulf War from Baghdad in 1991.
Arnett created a little controversy of his own, some years later, when he gave an interview to state-run Iraqi TV criticizing the United State's war plan.
After retirement, Arnett taught journalism at a university in China. He wrote an autobiography called, "Live from the Battlefield," in 1994. His new book, "Saigon Has Fallen," will be released April 23.

Asked to describe an average MP, many will imagine a privately-educated, straight, white man. But the make-up of the Commons is changing, with record-breaking strides being made in the 2017 general election.
The vote delivered the most diverse House of Commons ever with a rise in the number of women, LGBT and ethnic minority MPs elected. There has also been an increase in MPs who went to state school as well as a boost for disabled representation.
There are 45 MPs who openly define themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), according to senior government equality advisor John Peart.
That is a 40% increase from the 2015 election - when there were 32 - and includes 19 from Labour, 19 from the Tories and 7 from the SNP.
Prominent LGBT MPs include Scottish Secretary David Mundell, Education Secretary Justine Greening, and shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith. Read more via BBC

- There's considerable angst in Rider Nation about last night's 24-23 exhibition loss to the Calgary Stampeders. Rider Nation needs to relax a little.
- Granted, there is plenty of room for improvement, but the CFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. The key is to be the best team in November, not June.
- If would help if somebody steps up and hits the occasional field goal, though!
- The defense definitely has big-play potential. For, and against!
- On offense, there is some work to be done. The offensive line is a work in progress. The interior of the line seems solid, but the tackles had a tough night last night.
- Reports say Geroy Simon - who didn't catch a pass last night - was limping after the game. I really hope his last season in B.C. wasn't the start of his body betraying him. Sooner or later, time catches up to everyone.
- Head Coach Corey Chamblin and crew have some tough decisions to make prior to tomorrow's roster deadline. How gut-wrenching must it be to have to tell a young man his football dream is over? Granted, it's worse for the player hearing that news!
- We had some serious rainfall in Regina yesterday, but nothing like our neighbours to the west are experiencing. I don't feel entitled to complain about a little water in my basement after seeing the flood damage in Alberta.
- So Lebron and the Miami Heat won their second straight NBA title last night. I sort of figured the Spurs were done after blowing that late lead in game six.
- I wonder why the NBA isn't a bigger deal in Canada? Likely because the Toronto Raptors have been a non factor since Vince Carter was patrolling the hardwood for them. Too bad.
- You'll be reading about the RMF bantam Sun Devils in this space a fair bit between now and mid October. I think we might be in a position to make some noise this season. Sure hope so, anyway!
- Considering the amount of rainfall we've had this week, how plentiful will the mosquitoes be around here in a week or so? Shudder.

Learning Windows PowerShell
In order to learn how to use PowerShell you have to understand what it is and what it is not. The official Microsoft definition of what PowerShell is as follows: "Microsoft Windows PowerShell is a Windows command-line shell designed especially for system administrators. Windows PowerShell includes an interactive prompt and a scripting environment that can be used independently or in combination. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, Windows PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework and accepts and returns .NET Framework objects."

The power projects in the African nation are likely to be coal- or gas-based, with the decision being taken depending on availability of fuel. Company officials have indicated that the talks are still in the early stages.
The Republic of Ghana, located in Western Africa, is endowed with natural resources such as oil, gas, manganese, bauxite and diamonds. As part of its national budget for 2010, the government has announced an oil and gas development plan.
The policy is expected to create a sustainable platform to develop the country's oil and gas resources. The International Monetary Fund predicts that Ghana's hydrocarbon reserves have the potential to generate federal revenues of about $1 billion per year for a 20-year period.
Earlier, NTPC previously signed a memorandum of understanding with the Nigerian government to set up power plants in the country. In return, NTPC sought about 3 million tons per year of LNG. As part of the deal, NTPC had agreed to build 500-megawatt (MW) coal-based and 700-MW gas-fired power plants in Nigeria, train 30 Nigerian engineers, and set up a state-of-the-art training center.
The deal also included refurbishment of a 200-MW unit of a 1,320-MW thermal power plant in the country.
However, the company's plans were thwarted after the federal government changed. Subsequently, as part of the cabinet reshuffle, two ministers involved in the deal were replaced. The agreement with Nigeria was critical to convert the fuel feed for NTPC's 350-MW Kayamkulam plant in Kerala to gas, and also to go ahead with the 1,950-MW planned expansion of the power plant. NTPC's efforts to seek LNG supplies from Yemen were also unsuccessful.
NTPC has been exploring the possibility of striking similar deals with countries that supply natural gas to meet its demand of 16 million standard cubic meters per day. The growing global LNG demand-supply deficit has forced the company to secure supplies from the spot market. Long-term agreements are becoming difficult to obtain demand for LNG exceeding supply.
Experts indicate that this strategy will give an edge to NTPC in comparison to Chinese energy firms. India and China have been aggressively seeking fuel supplies from the African continent to meet growing domestic fuel demands. Africa has now become the focus of attention as it holds about 10% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves. NTPC requires gas to operate eight power plants with a total installed capacity of 4,695 MW.
The power plants have been operating below optimal utilization levels because of a shortage of fuel. Currently, NTPC's total installed electricity generating capacity is about 39,144 MW, with plans to reach 50,000 MW by 2012.
In a recent development, NTPC signed an agreement to purchase 1.2 million tons of LNG at the rate of $11 per million British thermal units (Btu). This price includes the procurement cost of $8.5 million, as well as shipping, landing, local taxes and re-gasification costs. The LNG will be imported from Australia's Gorgon gas fields and delivered to the Kayamkulam power plant. NTPC signed the agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Limited, GAIL India Limited and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited.
These companies are the primary purchasers of 2.5 million tons per year of LNG from Gorgon for 20 years. The LNG will be imported through the export terminal currently under construction in Kochi. The re-gasified LNG will then be transported to NTPC's power plant through GAIL India's 110-kilometer undersea pipeline network. Petronet LNG Limited is constructing the LNG terminal, which is expected to be completed in 2012.

If you're not excited by the prospect of a "50-minute killer workout" then perhaps some of Formula 3's other benefits might be more to your taste. As Barnsley explains, Formula 3 will increase your cardiovascular power, your cardiovascular power endurance and your VO2 max. The workout will also shred your body fat (providing your nutrition doesn't increase dramatically) and over time it will lower your resting heart rate.
Improvements in rowing and kettlebell technique are non-optional.
The full-version of Barnsley's savage workout is now available at Third Space City, London, but he's given MH a two-round version of the real thing that you can try wherever you workout.

ANN Pinto McCarney posted this embarrassing message to her son Liam on Facebook after he hadn't contacted her since moving out of the family home.
Liam, who left his mum's house when he started college, was called out on his lack of contact in front of more than 200,000 people after the excruciating clip went viral.
In the clip, Ann says: "Hi Liam, hi! Do you remember me? I'm your mommy! I gave birth to you.
Would you call your child out on Facebook?
"Well actually, I didn't quite give birth, I had to have a C-section to get you out - big scar and hurt like hell - but that's OK.
"You remember that was me that gave you life?"
She then added: "I haven't heard from you in a while and thought maybe you forgot about me?"
Despite Ann claiming that Liam knows about the clip, it comes as no surprise that her tight-lipped son has yet to respond.

In a victory for immigrant Chinese workers at the Golden Dragon Restaurant on Washington St. in San Francisco Chinatown, the owners agreed to pay the wages owed for half a year to about thirty workers. On Sunday, March 20th, five workers, along with the Chinese Progressive Association staff and supporters, showed up to picket the restaurant during a banquet. After first attempting to tear down the picketers' signs, the owner, in the face of the media present, agreed to abide by the law and pay the minimum wage. To date, $12,000 has been paid out, and the owners have promised to pay additional tens of thousands to the other workers. They also committed to no retaliation against the protesting workers.
The workers had worked without wages for six months, living off their tips. Finally, one of the workers approached CPA, an organization that had a history of fighting for Chinatown workers. They had planned several abortive protests until mounting their successful action Sunday.
CPA estimates that over 10,000 Chinese workers or over 10% of the Chinese community workforce in San Francisco are being paid sub-minimum wages and/or are owed back wages. There are nearly 12,000 Chinese restaurant workers in the city. Gordon Mar, Executive Director, said "We're using this case and others like it to highlight this widespread problem and to push the local government to beef up labor law enforcement. We're working with a few other worker centers to get the City to pass a Minimum Wage Enforcement Ordinance, hopefully this Summer that includes a dedicated funding stream for wage enforcement and creation of a new "community based" wage enforcement model where the City will collaborate with and fund groups like CPA to conduct pro-active worker outreach and organizing."
San Francisco has set the minimum wage at $8.62 an hour. The law setting the new standards was passed in 2004. CPA was part of a citywide coalition that won passage of the law.

How these power transistors will allow electronic devices to function for years without a battery
A new type of transistor could bring about a bevy of innovative electronic applications, ranging from wearables to implants to IoT devices, due to the tiny amount of power it uses.
Developed by researchers at Cambridge University, the transistor could allow these devices (and more) to function for months or even years on end without a battery due to its unique ability to forage energy from its environment.
The technology operates on the same principle used to put a computer into "sleep mode" — it harnesses just a tiny amount of electrical current leakage, also referred to as "near-off-state current," for its operations. Similar to when water drips from a faulty faucet, this leak is a characteristic of all transistors; however, this marks the first time it's been captured and repurposed. Read more...

SABMiller appoints group brand development chief
SABMiller, the US brewer, has appointed Helen Pyman as group marketing development director. She will report to group marketing director Nick Fell, who joined last month.
Pyman will be responsible for building the marketing capability and resources of the group. She will work closely with Fell, the former president of global commercial strategy at Cadbury Schweppes, who replaced former group marketing director Mark Sherrington.
She joins the brewery from international consultancy Brand Learning Partners, which is based in the Czech Republic, where she was marketing capability director. Previously she was at Kraft Foods for 13 years and held a variety of roles including global marketing training and development and also marketing director for the Czech and Slovak Republics.
SABMiller was formed in 2002 by the $5.6bn (&£3bn) purchase by South African Breweries of Miller Brewing Company, the second-biggest brewery in the US by volume. The company is not particularly strong in the UK, with its four main beer brands, including Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Miller Genuine Draft, accounting for less than 1% of the market by volume.
Last year it created Miller Brands UK in a bid to win a greater share of the UK premium lager market. Jean-Pierre van Lin, former managing director for Miller Brewing International in the UK and Ireland, was appointed UK marketing director with a &£30m marketing budget.

text: After being accused of overpricing handbags in their outlet stores, Michael Kors settled the class action lawsuit by agreeing to pay $4.88 million. The settlement began when the Michael Kors brand supposedly created "illusion" tags, attached to their exclusive outlet store handbags, that had a made-up "manufacturer's suggested retail prices" (MSRP) so that the discounted price would look more profitable to the consumer than it actually was. via Mom Closet Shoppers caught on to the trick when they realized the bags had been made exclusively for the Michael Kors outlet stores and there was no intention of ever selling them elsewhere for the MSRP price listed. On top of paying out the lawsuit, Michael Kors will replace the "MSRP" to "Value" on the price tags or even get rid of it entirely for the products exclusive to the outlets. Though, he did not confess to any wrongdoing by making these agreements. The plaintiffs' lawyer said in a court filing that this is only one out of the many retailers who advertise deceptive market prices at their outlet stores, violating the state consumer protection laws of New York. The preliminary settlement that was filed as of Friday, June 12 follows shoppers who purchased Michael Kors outlet items in the last four years up until July 25, 2014. As the plaintiffs' lawyers seek to receive legal fees up to 30 percent of the settlement fund, it is awaiting approval from the Manhattan federal court which then will determine how much the Michael Kors fashion house really owes.
