The POSITIVE ENERGY PROGRAMME 2016 is a small business programme developed by SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTORS which encourages small business owners to get with the sales & marketing programme of 21st Century.
Social Media is not about sharing adverts as that ain't very social. We teach you how to tell stories, how to share things that are interesting, how to change your mindset away from being just another piece of ambient noise into being someone, something that others will want to know about and share with their crowd.
Our Positive Energy Programme explores what you already know about social media and business lead generation and helps you work out what you need to know… then the journey begins.
The reality is simple, in or out of Europe, rules and regulations are pouring down on small business owners which means that if you want to market to a company or individual then you need to have their permission to engage, failure to do so will lead to fines and negative press which will leave you out in the cold. Soon you'll not be able to buy lists… you'll need to grow your own!
JON DAVEY has been working online since 1999. Named as Social Media Week's Social Media Personality of the Year in 2012 he firmly believes in the "teach a man to fish" metaphor.
Social media is about engaging in real time and with authenticity. Big companies can pay an agency to manage their brand image but small businesses need to be using the people in their business, it's the only way that you can keep it real and truly get the buy in of potential customers."
Signing off on a contract for 10 tweets a day is just pissing in the wind. What if 50 people respond to your first tweet? Do you ignore the 41 who you haven't been able to respond to within the terms of the contract? No, it needs to be managed in house and we show you how, teaching you how to fish so you can do it yourself.
Obviously we start by helping you work out how best to integrate your current world with how your potential customer base is looking to engage and begin to move you forward along an agreed path.
We'll manage those channels you don't feel comfortable with during the early days but will be looking to move you towards a place of self sufficiency over time.
We'll cover email marketing, web design & blogging, Twitter and telemarketing, Facebook and face 2 face sales, LinkedIn and networking, YouTube and Snap Chat, Instagram and instant results (yeah right!)
Don't believe all the hype on the web from social media gurus telling you if you just cross their palm with silver and follow their online webinar then as if by magic you'll be closing business within the hour… it takes a little longer and involves a little more hard work than that!
People do business with those they know, like and trust… so your potential customers have to get to know you on THEIR terms before they are going to part with their hard earned cash.
The process begins with a free chat on the phone…
Thank you again.

Amanda coton
Had not heard of this brand before but tried it due to a good price and product description. The bottle has a nice design and I like the pump dispenser, meaning you do't get too much product out. The gel is cooling and light and absorbs really well into my skin after tapping it on. Would buy this again as is good value for money. Not sure if it has affected the lines around by eyes, but feels good.

Not bad
I don't really notice any improvement on my dark circles though but it does not irritate my eyes so yeah, 3 stars. It's not greasy too. I love the pump because it makes me feel more hygienic rather than those tube creams. It's texture is quite light too, like a serum.

Good eye cream
I would give this eye cream a good review because it helped with my dark circles. It is better than some of the more well-known brands and it was not expensive. I have dark eye circles and wrinkles around my eyes but since using this product I have noticed my dark eye circles fading and my wrinkles less obvious.

easy to use
I liked the freshness of this product and the cooling feeling of the eye gel. The best part is that this brand is known to contain no nasty chemicals, which really resonates with me. The packaging is user friendly as it was easy to dispense. It's more suited for daytime use for me as I don't find gel product that was hydrating enough for overnight.

pretty good eye gel
read many good reviews on this and bought this at a discounted price. have to say it's a pretty good eye product, especially for people who get milia seeds easily around their eye area when they use cream products. this is not as moisturising as a cream but it's very refreshing and absorbs completely so there's no tacky feeling. feel slightly firming action after application. will recommend to get during a discount

This tiny tube works!
Yes, it does wonders. Love the gel texture, it's light & caused no burden to oily lids. A little really goes a long way. When I first received it, I thought that one tiny pump is WHATTT? too little, but preserved. After weeks, I can see that the eye areas are being toned. Dark circles are no fun. It helps brighten the eyes. what makes it even better, the gel texture that works like those eye creams on the market, with less burden ;)

All other deeds, mortgages, contracts and other instruments affecting the properties and operations of the Corporation must be signed by the President and Treasurer or by an officer or employee designated by Board resolution.
Section 1. Resignation. An Officer may resign at any time during the Officer's term of office. Resignations may either be announced by the Officer at a regular meeting of the Board or be submitted in writing to each member of the Board. A tender of resignation need not be accepted by the membership or Board to be effective.
Directors may resign from the Board at any time. Resignation occurs in the same manner as for Officers, and need not be expressly accepted by the membership or Board to be effective. A Director who fails to attend more than two consecutive regular meetings of the Board will be considered to have resigned as a Director, unless the Director provides advance written notice to the President and the reason for the absence is accepted by the Board. In the event of resignation through unexcused absences, the Director will be replaced through the ordinary process of filling Board vacancies. A Director treated as resigning under this section remains eligible to run for a Board position at the next regularly scheduled election of membership.
Section 2. Removal for Cause. Directors and Officers may be removed from the Board for good cause by a majority vote of the full Board, not including any Director whose removal is under consideration. A motion that a Director or Officer be removed may be made by a majority of the Board or by a petition signed by not less than two percent of Members. The Director or Officer will be given at least 10 days written notice of the reason for removal and will also be given a reasonable opportunity to rebut the stated reason for removal. The issue of removal must be resolved as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the Director has been given notice.
Section 3. Officer Presiding over Removal Proceeding. If a motion for removal involves an Officer or Director other than the President, the President presides over the proceeding. If the motion for removal involves the President, the Vice-President will temporarily assume the power of the President until the matter is resolved. If the motion for removal involves both the President and Vice-President, the Board must appoint an acting President pending resolution of the charges.
Section 4. Consequence of Removal for Good Cause. Any Officer or Director removed for good cause is permanently barred from holding office or serving on the Board of Directors.
Section 5. "Good Cause" Defined. For purposes of this section, "good cause" includes, but is not limited to: unauthorized representation of the Corporation; misuse or misappropriation of the Corporation's funds or other assets; conviction of a felony, and conduct or behavior not conducive to the orderly running of or best interest of the Corporation. Mere disagreement over Board policy is not a basis for removal for good cause.
Section 1. Composition and Duties of Executive Committee. The Board may, but is not required to, form an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee consists of the President, Immediate Past President, and Treasurer (or if the Treasurer is not a Director, the Secretary).

It is also responsible for personnel matters.
Section 2. Interim Conduct of Corporation's Affairs. In the interim between meetings of the Board, the Executive Committee controls the routine business of the Corporation.

Section 3. Executive Committee Meetings. Meetings of the Executive Committee may be held in person, or by telephone or video conference. Three voting members of the Executive Committee constitute a quorum at any executive meeting. The Executive Committee shall report any actions taken to the full Board at the next succeeding meeting; it shall also make a written record of each Executive Committee meeting which, except for confidential personnel matters, shall be made available to any Board member upon request.
Section 1. Composition and Duties of Other Committees. The Board may by resolution authorize Committees and define their powers and duties. Committees have the power to make recommendations to the Board on matters affecting the Corporation. However, no Committee has the power to commit the Corporation on any matter of general policy All resolutions adopted by a Committee and all reports and other communications which purport to reflect the position of the Corporation must be approved by the Board before being made available either to the Membership or to the public.
Section 2. Committee Chairs. The President, with the approval of the Board, appoints the Chairs of Committees who, in turn, may select their own Committee members. Committee Chairs serve for two years, or until their successors are appointed. Chairs may be re-appointed for successive two-year terms. The Chair reports the activities of the Committee to the Board as required by the Board, including a written report of the Committee's activities at least once each year, at a time determined by the Board.
Section 3. Removal of Committee Chair. If any Committee fails to discharge its duties with reasonable promptness or violates any provision of these Bylaws or directives of the Board, the President may, at her discretion, remove the Committee Chair and/or members of the Committee. The President must report this action to the Board and, if the Board so directs, appoint a new Committee Chair (who will, in turn, select new Committee members).
Section 1. Policy Positions. The Corporation will only take public positions on issues involving knitting education and improvement of skills, and will do so only when approved by a two-thirds vote of the Board at a regular or special board meeting.
Section 2. Non-Partisan. The Corporation will be non-partisan and non-sectarian, and will not take part in, or lend its influence or facilities, either directly or indirectly, to the nomination or election of any candidate for elected public office, nor will it sponsor any meeting of a partisan political nature.
These Bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Directors or by a majority vote of the Members, as defined in Article II, Section 4, at the Annual Meeting or a Special Meeting; provided, however, that any amendment that would materially and aversely affect the rights of Members as to voting or transfer must be approved by majority vote of the Members, as so defined. An Annual or Special Meeting at which amendments to the Bylaws are to be voted upon by the Membership must be duly called pursuant to the provisions of Article II, and the notice of the Meeting must either recite the wording of the proposed amendments or provide Members with a link to a web site that contains the wording of the proposed amendments. Amendments to the Bylaws may be proposed by the Board or by a petition signed by at least twenty-five percent of the Members in good standing. In the event a valid petition is submitted, the Board must submit the proposed amendment at the next Annual Meeting of the membership.
Section 1. Robert's Rules of Order. In procedural matters not covered by these Bylaws, Robert's Rules of Order will govern, subject to the requirements of California law.
Section 2. No Loans to Directors or Officers. No loans shall be made to Directors or Officers, except that the Corporation may advance money to a Director or Officer for expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in the performance of their duties.
Section 3. Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Director, Officer or employee against liability arising from her status and/or out of the performance of her duties.
Section 1. California Law. These Bylaws will be construed under the laws of the State of California.
Section 2. Pronouns. The masculine or feminine pronoun, if used, includes both the masculine and feminine, wherever applicable.
Section 3. Notice. The terms "notice", "written notice", and "mail" include notice provided by first class mail or by dated electronic communication, such as electronic mail, to a member's last known mailing or email address, as the case may be, or, in the event no address has been provided, includes notice posted on the the Corporation's web site.

Kenneth Calman, the Government's chief medical officer, told leaders of the medical Royal Colleges to report on current arrangements and criteria for specialist medical training and 'how they relate to EC requirements' set out in directives passed in 1977.
The order came at the first meeting of a high-level working party at the Department of Health, convened to overhaul specialist medical training to bring it into line with EC law. It would involve the biggest shake-up of medical training for half a century. A confidential document leaked to the Independent in June revealed the department had accepted complaints from the EC Commission that Britain's system was 'unlawful and discriminatory'.
The EC's intervention could scarcely have been more embarrassing for Virginia Bottomley, Secretary of State for Health. She chairs her first EC health ministers meeting in November.
Despite the advent of EC specialist certification in 1977, intended to foster the free movement of fully trained doctors across member state boundaries, the UK continued to operate its own system of specialist accreditation. Few doctors are promoted to consultant positions, the gateway to private practice and the possibility of a share in nearly pounds 100m a year of NHS 'merit money', without the accreditation awarded by the medical Royal Colleges.
Dr Calman, the working party chairman, also asked consultants' leaders to inform the group on how current procedures governing the appointment of NHS consultants square with the requirements of the EC directives.
Consumer groups are not included on the working party, but it will meet representatives of patients' organisations during its six- month inquiry. It will also hold talks with private health care organisations such as Bupa and PPP.
The EC complaints to the UK followed protests about discrimination from doctors who trained in other EC states. One involved Uccio Querci della Rovere, a lecturer in surgery at Padua University before coming to practise in the UK in 1979. Although he had EC certification, he was forced to start at the bottom of the career ladder. A decade later he had to abandon his private practice after PPP withdrew recognition from him.
The training overhaul threatens to cause deep divisions within the medical profession. Britain's 25,000 junior doctors favour breaking the virtual monopoly enjoyed by the 16,000 consultants by introducing a single specialists' grade and one training grade. Training periods would be cut from 10-15 years at present to between 6 and 8 years.
Fully trained and qualified specialists would work more on equal terms with consultants, and would be able to establish private practices.
The members of the working party were named by the Department of Health as: Sir Robert Kilpatrick, president of the General Medical Council; Professor Norman Browse, president of the Royal College of Surgeons; Professor David Shaw, chairman of the General Medical Council education committee; Stan Simmons, chairman of the Conference of Medical Royal Colleges; Dr Trevor Bayley, postgraduate dean, Faculty of Medicine, Liverpool University; Dr Edwin Borman, chairman of the Junior Doctors Committee of the British Medical Association; John Chawner, chairman of the Central Consultants and Specialists Committee of the BMA; Sir Colin Dollery, dean of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School; Dr Martin McNichol, chairman of the Central Middlesex Hospital NHS Trust; Bob Nichols, chief executive of the Oxford Regional Health Authority; Paddy Ross, chairman of the Joint Consultants Committee; and Dr Alistair Scotland, medical officer for North East Thames regional health authority.

Agreed that Tera is extremely expensive. I paid half of that for mine (new) before the last price increase. However I think it's so good that I would have to buy a new one if something happened to mine (even at current price although I would hate paying that knowing how much I paid the first time around).
I can't get internet on the Tera and that's perfectly fine with me - as I said earlier if it had that it would need a touch screen which would make the device bigger and/or buttons smaller so not be useful when in pocket.
Also, having screen and internet would obviously decrease battery life, and having radios in it would likely degrade the sound and make the firmware less stable due to having to implement non-music related bells and whistles.
When I need internet it's easy enough to pull my iPhone or iPad out of my pocket.
