Senior - BHPian | This is the TATA Ace i saw at the New Delhi Auto Show and i believe it is already available in this form in some overseas markets. I don't know why TATA Motors takes a long time to introduce a model in the Indian market. The new Indica is a cae in point. |

| I did see this vehicle under testing in Coimbatore. All I could notice was it was bigger, looked good too. I think it had a larger load area. Couldn't see much into the cabin as it was going the other way. |

| Oh No! @teddybear- that is a lot of info you got there The current Ace has come as a boon to the transportation industy with the combination of its frugal engine and effortless pulling capabilities. But, I'm sure many of us would agree, that the current Ace drivers are no less than Morons on the road. They drive the Ace at speeds in excess of 65kmph. I'm very worried what would happen if these same drivers get behind the wheels of Super Ace churning out 75 BHP and 125 kmph top speed. The roads would become even more dangerous!! What next? TATA proudly advertising the 0-60 kmph and 0-100 kmph capabilities of TATA super ace!? |

"Over recent years we have built a site which our audience find easy to use and intuitive," Petra Sprekos General Manager of realestateVIEW.com.au said.
"Our aim was to preserve this, whilst improving the look and feel of the site to reduce clutter."
The site refresh comes hot on the heels of realestateVIEW.com.au's new 'Search by Map' feature which allows home buyers to pinpoint properties on a map and gain access to latest sales data, median house prices and suburb profiles.
"The site refresh showcases our industry expertise, with data and commentary from our real estate institute partners featured prominently on the home page of the site," Ms Sprekos said.
"We have also begun to leverage this data in our new "Search by Map" feature to provide home buyers with a unique way to gain a well rounded view on the market."
At this stage the redesign only applies to realestateVIEW.com.au.
Refresh of the portfolio of brands within the realestateVIEW.com.au family (commercialVIEW.com.au, ruralVIEW.com.au, businessesVIEW.com.au, holidayVIEW.com.au & propertyDATA.com.au) will be completed in the coming months, Ms Sprekos said.

A beautiful piece of accent furniture can highlight the theme of an already striking room or introduce brand-new elements into a plain space. Reinforce the regal design of your traditional bedroom with a lavish jewelry armoire and fireplace, or accent a vintage-inspired suite with a retro room divider and a tufted linen bench. These small pieces can bring the entire room together. Complete your decor with accent pieces from Sears.
Accent furniture adds fresh, new style into a space. Update your living room with accent chairs, benches and ottomans for functional seating around the coffee table. Try a bench in rich leather or soft velvet to introduce new textures. Add an arm chair with a bold, graphic print to bring life to a room of solid colors. Pair any chair with a storage ottoman and an electric fireplace to kick back and relax after a long day.
Decorative pieces can also add a personal touch to the home. Furnish a master bedroom with a standing jewelry armoire and an accent chest to hold your favorite accessories. These pieces are beautifully constructed with a wealth of storage space to organize collectables easily. When renovating the foyer, a contemporary accent table may be just what you need to create a welcoming atmosphere. The warm wooden finish complements a cherry wood coat rack or entryway bench. Personalize your home with accent furniture from Sears.

Gift card survey 2011: E-gift cards take center stage
Retailers, consumers embracing email, mobile and social media gifting options
By Tamara E. Holmes
Editor's note: This story has been updated. See the 2013 gift card survey and accompanying chart.
Though the economy may be struggling, a CreditCards.com/Bankrate.com survey of gift card issuers shows that the gift card industry continues to innovate, with digital gifting offerings breathing new life into an already strong segment of the retail market.
Gift cards remain one of the most popular gifts among consumers. In fact, the gift card market is growing at least as fast as the general consumer spending market, says Michael Hursta, vice president of payments transaction company First Data Prepaid Services. A $91 billion market, the gift card industry is expected to reach $100 billion in sales by 2012, according to the research firm TowerGroup. But the biggest area of growth and excitement is the digital arena, as gift card issuers increasingly look to ways for consumers to send gift cards via email, mobile devices and even social media sites.
What the survey found
We surveyed 63 gift cards from major brands (see gift card comparison table). More than half -- 32 -- have e-cards available. For many issuers in the survey, this was the first year that they had explored digital gifting For example, American Express, Best Buy, Gap and Pizza Hut all offered e-gift cards for the first time. Many issuers also embraced technology as a way for customers to manage their gift card accounts, with 55 brands letting consumers check their balances on the Web.
Gift cards are divided into two major categories. Open-loop gift cards are those issued by banks or credit card companies and are redeemable by any retailer. Closed-loop, or merchant-branded, gift cards are those issued by retailers for use exclusively with that retailer. Typically, closed-loop cards have fewer fees associated with them than their open-loop counterparts, and this year is no exception. In fact, in this year's survey, only two closed-loop cards -- those by HEB grocery store and Pilot Travel Center -- bear dormancy or maintenance fees.
When it comes to purchase fees, banks are more likely to charge them than retailers, though Toys R Us does charge a $1.95 purchase fee when a physical card is bought online. American Express, Discover, Harris Bank MasterCard, KeyBank MasterCard, U.S. Bank Visa and Wells Fargo Visa all have purchase fees attached to their cards. Chevron/Texaco and Exxon charge purchase fees for their cards, as well.
Some bank-issued gift cards are becoming more consumer-friendly. Fifth Third Bank and Key Bank both eliminated dormancy and maintenance fees this year. Other bank-issued gift cards without dormancy and maintenance fees are Wells Fargo Visa, Harris Bank MasterCard and American Express. Discover, Chase Visa and U.S. Bank Visa all continue to charge maintenance or dormancy fees.
If you're not planning to use your gift card right away, you're in luck, since most of the gift cards included in the survey have no expiration dates. A number of cards issued by banks -- Fifth Third Bank MasterCard, Harris Bank MasterCard, Chase Visa, U.S. Bank Visa and Wells Fargo Visa -- do give consumers a deadline by which the cards must be used.
All eyes on digital
Though plastic gift cards overwhelmingly make up the gift card market, digital gifting is clearly the rising star of the industry. There have been 6 million e-gift card purchases in the past six months, according to David Stone, chief executive officer at CashStar, a company that provides digital gift card solutions for such brands as Starbucks, Staples and The Home Depot. Not only that, but for the first time, more than 50 percent of retailers offer digital gift cards as an option, Stone adds.
"There are two reasons why consumers don't use gift cards today -- we don't have time to go to the store or wait for the plastic to be shipped and they're not personal enough," says Stone. But the digital age changes that. Not only can consumers buy and have an e-gift card sent instantly from a Web browser or mobile phone, but they can personalize the message with photos and video, creating an individualized gifting experience.
Digital gift cards come in three varieties:
- Email gifting is the most widespread, accounting for about 95 percent of the digital gifting market, Stone says, with recipients receiving the gift card in their email box.
- Mobile gifting lets consumers use a smartphone app to send a gift card or have a gift card sent to a mobile phone. This year, Target and Starbucks each added mobile gift cards.
- Social gifting lets consumers send gift cards via social media sites. For example, Amazon.com lets customers send friends gift cards by posting the cards on their Facebook walls. "Social gifting is growing at a rate of about 400 percent," Stone says.
While digital offerings give consumers new options in gifting, they're unlikely to overtake their plastic counterparts in the near future, experts say. For one thing, many people still want a physical product and some consumers perceive more value in attractively designed cards. Likewise, some are still uncomfortable with the technology. "I think we're still several years away from virtual cards becoming the majority, but they're still going to be for the next several years the fastest-growing segment," Hursta says.
Though First Data found that consumers have been increasing the amount of money loaded onto gift cards, digital gifting may in the long run lead consumers to spend smaller amounts, Hursta points out. The ease with which digital gifting is done may lead consumers to send them more often, but consumers won't have more money to allot to those extra gifts.
Embracing the challenges
While the immediate future for gift cards looks bright, the industry has its challenges. Mobile gifting utilizes bar code technology and "there's still an adoption process going on with retailers to update their point-of-sale systems to read the bar codes," says Rebekka Rea, executive director of the Retail Gift Card Association (RGCA).
Fraud is another concern. For example, there have been scams in which counterfeit and fraudulent gift cards have been sold on some Web sites or stolen credit cards have been used to purchase gift cards that are then re-sold. In fact, to address fraud, the RGCA and "several companies and associations have come together to form the Prepaid Anti-Fraud Forum," Rea says.
Though gift card issuers have put in place changes mandated by the Credit CARD Act of 2009, such as the elimination of dormancy fees for the first 12 months after a gift card is purchased, other regulatory challenges remain, Rea says. For example, there are calls to collect more information from gift card buyers, a move that the industry staunchly opposes. "We're creating jobs, we're bringing forward innovation that stimulates consumer spending. So why do you want to kill a growth industry?" Rea says.
Despite the challenges, retailers are still happy with the popularity of gift cards and its promising future. Consumers, including Torrence Wimbish, of Bowie, Md., are also happy because "gift cards have that convenience factor," Wimbish says.
All in all, the state of the industry is strong, Rea says. "We're excited about the new products that are coming out and we're helping out the economy."

Just the facts, Jack.
Compare the size of your baby to actual numbers.
Show me some nifty gifts instead. >Learning is fun!
The Internet is a big place, with more pregnancy information than you could possibly read before the end of your 7th pregnancy. The constant daily details on your little fetus friend during its 9 month lease agreement with your womb can be excruciatingly boring and ridiculously overwhelming.
Babysizer nozzles the cacophonic firehose of information by providing you with simple information. No condescending preaching; just the straight facts on your baby's size and weight.
Baby must-wants from pregnancy to parenting.
We love to online shop for baby stuff, and often we've come across products that are so interesting, they have to be shared. So we decided to create a list of the best baby products according to Babysizer. From essential to superfluous, cheeky to geeky, ingenious to hilarious, this list is continuously updated and covers the gamut of awesomeness.

Haseeb Qureshi, if you ever read this, just know that you got handed a silver spoon in poker, something you happened to be pretty good at, you were provided financial rewards that most people dream of, and you still managed to be so greedy and manipulative that you are universally despised within the industry that gave you the only thing that is probably good about your life (financial autonomy).
If you ever write a book i'm sure it will sell, in the same way that Ted Bundy's last interview sold (was consumed heavily), but just know that every dollar you ever make in this pursuit is printed from the mint of a communities collective disgust. It is only people's fascination with the truly despicable that makes you anything more than an ant to them.
I hope your travels help you heal whatever fundamental character flaws are causing you to act in this way, i truly do, because you are a colossal net negative on Planet Earth. Take a long hard look at yourself and make some changes. Again and again you have shown that you are incredibly narrow sighted at viewing your own behaviour.
Make a point to start doing genuinely good things for people where this is no possible upside to yourself. I think that would be a start. Volunteering for an aids organization in Africa for example.

Ghost Inside My Child is a shocking new series Joke Productions discovered through an award winning journalist, Suzanne Stratford. Suzanne had discovered a little-known phenomenon haunting families around the globe.
Their children remembered dying in a past life.
Further, their children had other, verifiable memories that seemed impossible for them to possess Places, dates, events, even foreign languages — it was as if these kids had other-worldly knowledge.
In all cases, whether the parents believed in reincarnation or not, parents felt they needed to do something to help their children get through these often painful and horrifying memories.
Ghost Inside My Child sought not to prove or disprove the existence of reincarnation, but rather to document these families in crisis. Every episode tells the tale of parents dealing with children who remember living — and dying — as someone else in a past life.
Check out the original promo for our Biography documentary series, Ghost Inside My Child:

Empidonax minimus
Conservation status | Surveys show some declining populations in southern part of breeding range; however, still widespread and common. |
Family | Tyrant Flycatchers |
Habitat | Open woods, aspen groves, orchards, shade trees. Breeds in deciduous or mixed woodlands, seldom in purely coniferous groves. Usually around clearings or edges, but sometimes in the interior of dry woods. Winters in the tropics around woodland edges and second growth. |
Forages by watching from a perch and flying out to catch insects. Often perches on dead twigs within the middle to lower levels of trees, in fairly open spots. Catches most insects in mid-air, but also takes food (including caterpillars and spiders) from foliage while hovering.
4, sometimes 3, occasionally 5. Creamy white. Incubation is by female only, 13-15 days. Young: Both parents bring food for nestlings. Age of young at first flight about 12-17 days; may be fed by parents for another 2-3 weeks after fledging.
Both parents bring food for nestlings. Age of young at first flight about 12-17 days; may be fed by parents for another 2-3 weeks after fledging.
Mostly insects. Summer diet is mostly insects, including many small wasps, winged ants, beetles, caterpillars, midges, and flies, with smaller numbers of true bugs, grasshoppers, and others. Also eats spiders, and occasionally a few berries.
May nest in loose colonies. Courtship behavior not well known, but may involve male chasing female through the trees. Least Flycatchers often actively chase American Redstarts out of nesting territory. Nest site is usually in deciduous sapling or small tree such as maple, birch, or ash, placed in a vertical fork in a branch. May be 2-65' above ground, but heights usually average 12-25' up, varying with habitat. Nest (evidently built by female only) is a tidy cup of grass, strips of bark, twigs, lichens, plant fibers, often bound together with webs of spiders or caterpillars; lined with fine grass, plant down, animal hair, feathers.

Six Reasons to Practice Social Media Authenticity
Today's guest post is written by Tyler Orchard.
The popularization of social media has created two very different environments.
On one hand, social media has produced a world of vast connectivity. Consumers and professionals are linked without boundary. Barriers that once limited engagement are overcome with new ways to network.
Social media has offered people unconfined opportunities to tap into conversations that were once hidden.
On the other hand, the technology simultaneously provides others with a shrouded veil behind which they can hide. Social media has offered more power in the form of selection, engagement, and response.
It is possible to seamlessly transition between both of these worlds at our convenience. We can operate in two elements that contrast one another so vigorously it almost seems impossible they were borne from the same revolutionary technology.
Social media promotes transparency, authenticity, and openness. However, these fundamentals have, and continue to be, questioned.
There are two types of practitioners who use social media to achieve a certain objective.
The following represent the two ends of the spectrum:
Dark Operators
- They maintain a one-way conversation.
- Content is meticulously filtered: Negative posts are ignored or deleted.
- The level of engagement is zero.
- Communication is in the form of talking points with limited authenticity.
- They create and manage a buffer between themselves and their audience (consumers/media).
Clear Operators
- They thrive on two-way conversation.
- Their actions are based on transparency, truth, and authenticity.
- All content is free, open, and welcomed.
- The level of engagement is constantly pushed forward.
- They connect with their audience on any issues or topic.
These two types of operators are readily identified and there is no confusion between their characteristics and actions. But transition between these two corporate "personalities" is alive and well.
We have witnessed social media being leveraged in a way that serves the user's own personal interests. At times they step behind the "buffer" that has been created. Whether it is only selecting positive topics on which to engage people, dodging inquiries from the media, or clouding transparency to shirk responsibility, social media is continually used to shape and reshape engagement conditions on individual terms.
Redefining PR Transparency
It is imperative the power over content and engagement social media can offer does not lure us with its temptation of ease and simplicity. These shrouded actions have the ability to destabilize the strongest corporate reputations.
Transparency and open engagement on negative or positive issues defines who you are. These characteristics aren't always followed, but need to be stated and rigorously implemented by PR professionals.
Six Reasons to Practice Social Media Authenticity and Openness
- Authenticity shapes a corporate reputation built on personable outreach.
- Content filtration undermines consumer engagement and won't go unnoticed.
- Ignoring inquiries does not make an issue go away and at times can ignite a revolt.
- Transparency strengthens consumer loyalty and breeds media respect.
- Unconditional engagement builds networks that can be leveraged when needed.
- Transitioning between Dark and Clear for personal gain represents a business decision that is perceived as self-serving and isolated.
True and unconditional transparency in the business world scares us. The allure of control over content and engagement should be vehemently resisted.
As practitioners, we should embrace authentic transparency and openness. It only serves to benefit us in the long-term. Surrendering certain ethical characteristics in exchange for a short-term (perceived) benefit is misleading.
Is true social media transparency something that is actually needed? Or should clients/brands reserve the right to exercise control over their social media presence and engagement?
Maybe absolute transparency is just a coveted ideal.

Good post. I think my only quibble is with "all content is free, open, and welcomed." The word "all" is a strong one, and I think there are plenty of cases where we've seen it's entirely expected for a brand to filter content. A top of mind example was the recent Lowe's/All American Muslim show debacle.
Lowe's, citing "social media authenticity," left some really horrible, degenerate comments up on its Facebook page. In my humble opinion, leaving that trash talk up did nothing to encourage engagement, and it damaged the brand. There's a middle ground of common sense that has to be considered–and yes, in some cases, that means filtering content.
While I appreciate the post and agree with most of what you have written, I do think that drawing such clear distinctions between good/bad can lead the less experienced communicators out there to take the path Lowe's did. They thought they were being transparent, but ended up compounding a social media sh*tstorm they were largely responsible for creating in the first place.
@jenzings Thanks for the comment, Jen. You raise some good points in regards to where complete, unfiltered transparency can take you. Without delving into the Lowe's situation too much, I would like to highlight that the two examples above (Dark and Clear) were intended to represent the two ends of the spectrum. My assumption is that many companies land somewhere in between those too extremes. Also, good/bad are not solely attached to those to spectrums either. However, you definitely raise considerable evidence to support the argument that common sense decisions should prevail in certain situations. Thanks again, Jen!

We actually had a webinar today called Humanize: Create a People Centric Organization. I don't understand why it is so hard for organizations to just be real – it's people behind every piece of communication. Why is it so hard? The approval by committee syndrome, perhaps? I don't know, but you outline so excellent points here, Tyler. Thanks!!
@Lisa Gerber Thanks for the compliment, Lisa. I definitely would have liked to be part of that webinar. I couldn't agree with you more. I think it comes back to the decision by committee syndrome or maybe even GroupThink and the apprehension towards being vulnerable in such as vast and unforgiving space? There seems to be a fear that is ever-present when you talk about social media and transparency.
Another transparency post. Yawn. #beingnaughty
Another social media "authenticity" post. Yawn. #beingnaughty
@danperezfilms At least you were still awake at the end of it to post a comment! I'll take it as a win. Cheers, Dan!
Absolutely loved this post. Although in the corporate world, that authenticity is not always approved by the powers that be, unfortunately.
@NancyCawleyJean Thanks for the comment and the compliment, Nancy. You're definitely right, sometimes it just isn't possible because of certain circumstances and restrictions.
So true; you can sit back and blast away but since you can't get your hands on me I can use that level of anonymity to act any way I want to.
However, and just like in real life, at some point your true colors will appear. Transparency and your true intentions should always be apparent.
Social has provided a platform for a certain segment who weren't particularly 'social' in the first place to all of a sudden having a voice. They might tend to act or say things they normally wouldn't in real life.
And that's all I have to say about that.
@bdorman264 Thanks for the comment, Bill! You're spot on. There is this unique level of anonymity that provides people with a bit more confidence to act or say things that they normally wouldn't in non-digital situations. Not to mention, people who operate within the social media space can readily identify when a person or brand is acting in a self-serving way. Your comment made me think about alcohol and how it gives us a bit more confidence to do and say things that we aren't normally used to…maybe the same principal applies here. Thanks again, Bill.
@Tyler Orchard But I can talk that way under the influence because it makes me much better looking too…………:)
@bdorman264 Oh, so, so true!
@Tyler Orchard@bdorman264 I have only one thing to say about that: single malt scotch. And wine gini dietrich
@Tyler Orchard@bdorman264gini dietrich Oops. that was two things:)
@KDillabough@bdorman264gini dietrich Single malt and wine – the perfect mix! That's bound to get anyone speaking freely.
"We have witnessed social media being leveraged in a way that serves the user's own personal interests."
This is one fact that I have been wrestling with frequently as of late. Lately it seems that EVERYTHING being written pushes an agenda or shines a positive light on the author. I have a guest post coming up here in the next week in which I outline why professionals with prior experience online and with a basic understanding of marketing / copywriting / design concepts do better work in social media (Designing a Facebook page maybe, writing effective copy for it, targeting your campaign). It's quite self serving, but I wrote it in response to a handful of bloggers who think that all that stuff is worthless because Facebook has only been open to the public for 4 years (I know, right?). Of course, they weren't doing stuff online 4 years ago, so it's self serving on their part to try to discount experience.
Here's another good one: I wrote a blog post that recommended aspiring bloggers to submit articles to a news outlet to get a taste of writing under an editorial team, and stressed the importance of good grammar and spelling in publishing. A reader said I was wrong because some people have English as a second language, and it shouldn't count against them that they have bad spelling or grammar. Of course, I have published under an editor at multiple outlets, and the reader was French. Our bias was conflicting, but I couldn't even comprehend how someone could be so biased as to oppose advocating good spelling and grammar. Or maybe a study about how reading Fiction increases your IQ 🙂 , someone who doesn't read fiction would never have reported those findings on their blog. It amounts to saying "Ok, people who read fiction are smarter, but I don't, so go ahead and take a few points off of my perceived IQ". I may not disclose my bias every time like Gini did in that article, but I'm completely self aware of it, and I try to cut it out of my writing as much as possible.
Professional Blogging can sometimes be summed up like this: What I do is better than what you do, so by default I am more qualified. If there is a clear reason why you may be more qualified, I will spin it as a catch 22. Example: Read my upcoming thesis about how members of Mensa have a higher rate of axe murderers among their ranks!
@etelligence Thanks for the comment! That definitely sounds like an interesting thesis. You raise some good points especially the idea of pushing an agenda. There seems to be a lot of underlying reasons to utilize social media. Coming back full circle, it's about being in the social media space to engage others not to self-promote etc.
Thanks again, I look forward to the guest posts in the future!
Like everything new that becomes old, social media has evolved. The aftermath, this post-social media revolution, is a time for dissection ala yours to occur where the pieces are put back together in other ways.
Do you feel the change today versus four years ago (pre-FB)? Confidence has suffered, and peeps are turning to those who've been around for 2-4 years or longer doing this; are they really the experts?
Who is authentic, transparent, trusting and genuine? I think I wrote something for you, @Lisa Gerber on risk to authenticity awhile back…I had a major concern that analytics would spoil authenticity, and I believe that to be true. (Oh, dear, I'm relaunching my site to bring in that cursed word.)
Thoughtful writings, Tyler.
@Soulati | PR Thank you very much, Jayme! You're completely right, there has been a shift that has occurred over time and it now offers us a chance to look back and analyze how and what has changed. I think that was the best part of your comment, "who is authentic, transparent, trusting and genuine?" – I think it is becoming increasingly difficult to define who these people and brands are. I had never thought about how analytics could re-shape authenticity, but I think you are spot on. Brands are driven by analytics, not "true" engagement sometimes.
Thanks again, Jayme! I look forward to the relaunch of your site!
Excellent post @Tyler Orchard – what you've spelled out here is vitally important for *all* participants/professionals in SM, not just PR. Well said, sir. 🙂
@belllindsay Well, thank you madame!
Very interesting post. I could see that happening with some small companies that promote themselves via contests / discounts / refer a friend promotions without really engaging their followers. I've been following them for some time and it begins to feel like spam. Aside from all their promotions, the companies do very little to build relationships with their existing and potential customers, and I don't believe they are getting any good results.
On that note, I'm really curious about any companies that are being "good operators". Care to share?
@kennettkwok Thanks for the comment, Kennett. You're completely right, when social media is used solely for outbound marketing or self-promotion it feels like spam. Those are the companies or brands who have jumped into the social media space just because. They see it as a free marketing tool and that is it – a flawed view in my opinion.
Take a look at dogfishbeer – they are a microbrewery in the US. They have 75,000 followers. Look at how they engage people. It isn't all about themselves or selling their beer. That is a secondary objective. Also, steamwhistle is another good example. I do love beer.
There are a lot of companies and brands who are great at engaging their publics. They have embraced the idea of investing in their community.
Thanks again, Kennett!
@Tyler Orcharddogfishbeersteamwhistle Thanks for the prompt reply Tyler! I'm not a big fan of beer myself, but it would be interesting to see how these two companies run their social media campaigns. Thanks for sharing. I'll update you via twitter after following them for a couple of weeks! Thank you Tyler.
@Tyler Orchard Always enjoy hearing other PR pros who "get It" … 😉
Particularly liked how you broke it down between "Dark" and "Clear" operators, and how each style affects others in the digital space.
Clearly (pun intended), us cute and snuggly PR folk evangelize openness, transparency and genuine human interaction. Denying those things will be a resounding controversy insofar as there will always be those who cannot or will not acknowledge that business is increasingly built on trust and relationships.
And, quite frankly, people who scream Privacy, and shirk accountability for the things they say or do are unable to reconcile what Amber Naslund calls that "crunchiness," that cognitive dissonance.
You nail it: Down with the shrouds, off with the veils. We can and must continue to challenge others to peel off the cloak, tear down the walls and begin recognizing the Human element of this industry and the world at large.
THAT's our job: to not just change and convert minds, but Hearts too…
@byronfernandez Awesome comment, Byron! I appreciate it. It's an incredible clear concept: business transparency, openness and willingness to invest in your community for reasons that transcend just sales and marketing equates to a better and more sustainable business model, increased engagement and it builds a brand that is stronger and more reliable over time. However, there are too many examples of brands and companies just wanting to be *in* the space rather than use it effectively. There is a new protocol for businesses that leverage social media as a fundamental tool in their outreach. It is simple, yet continually ignored. We need to re-shape the traditional thinking that is so grounded in quantitative ROI and sales. Social media has humanized the business world and how we interact with one another. Embrace it.
Love your passion! Thanks, Byron.

@Tyler Orchard A+ for use of transcend. One of my favorite words since college 😉
I was really moved by the succinct summary about the key factors around effective social media today. When I read " Transparency strengthens consumer loyalty and breeds media respect", it caused me to think of what 'social' all alone really is.
I thought you know what; since transparency strengthens loyalty and breeds respect in real life, why not in the digital media?
Good stuff @Tyler Orchard
Michael Besson
@MichaelBesson Thank you very much for the comment, Michael. I admire your passion for this topic. I actually hadn't thought of the similarity between digital media and our own personal lives, but you said it perfectly.
Hi Tyler,
You make some great points here, however I'm on the side that true transparency is a phantom, it doesn't exist, and we don't really want it to.
Deleting negative comments? No, I don't support it. But transparency includes transparency into your own motives, not just allowing your customers voice to be heard. Companies are not transparent, and if they were, if their motives and methods were fully on display, most of us would not want to follow them and wouldn't be attracted to them.
Too often, I think we confuse transparency with being a good web citizen. Please, let's all be good citizens, engage in civil discourse (even when we feel otherwise), but I don't believe we will see full transparency, and frankly, I don't really want to.
This is a different take on transparency, but its one I believe the industry needs to discuss.
Byron Fernandez
@Wittlake@Tyler Orchard I admire your candor and perspective Eric.
Utter transparency does not give individuals nor companies license to abuse the power and influence given to us by the People.
Great point about the distinction between course transparency and being a good web citizen. "Netiquette…" 😉
Voice of reason and tact shouldn't be exclusive to a PR pro's arsenal, it's something we all can learn to embrace. 10% what we say, 90% How we say it. Nothing beats good manners and treating others with respect and dignity – even when their lizard brains are in full-throttle.
Recently I've felt tired, angry, worn out and impatient in leading our agency. I throw the excuse of "I'm just a punk kid…only 26." But age has nothing to do with fortitude or temperance, and sometimes we have to love or be gracious with others, even when they don't deserve it. Because often those who are angry and unyielding that need kindness the most.
Thanks for sharing another important voice/angle that needed to be expressed, Eric

Charlton Athletic 2 Liverpool 0
By Planetfootball Staff
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The win saw The Addicks record their best sequence of results in The Premiership while Liverpool have taken just one point out of the last 15.
Gerard Houllier's men were slow out of the blocks and Charlton made them pay as Jason Euell finished from close range on 36 minutes.
Reds keeper Chris Kirkland, in for the out-of-form Jerzy Dudek, pulled off some good saves in the first half to keep Liverpool in the match.
After the break a rejuvenated Liverpool created a number of chances but were wasteful in front of goal and could not muster an equaliser.
Milan Baros had ball in the back of the net but the effort was ruled offside.
It was to prove costly as Paul Konchesky pounced on 78 minutes to chip into an open net after Chris Kirkland parried Shaun Bartlett's initial effort.

Hungary appears to have moved a step closer to ending its long-running dispute with the EU.
In Brussels, to meet European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban insisted the bust up was nearly over.
While EU officials remain cautious, saying more talks are needed, the apparent breakthrough follows last December's move by the bloc to halt negotiations on an IMF loan to Hungary after the government in Budapest overhauled the constitution.
Brussels believed those changes undermined, among other things, the independence of the country's central bank.
The Commission now seems to have decided not to refer the legal dispute to the European Court of Justice.
Orban claimed the latest political development would pave the way for a restart of financial aid talks with the IMF. Hungary's currency the forint rose more than one percent after his comments.

I am Miah Muhammad Adel, a professor of physics, astronomy, and environmental sciences at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, USA. I have offered physics, mathematics, statistics, energy conversion technology, astronomy, and environmental science undergraduate and graduate courses at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
My Ph. D. and post-Ph. D. research projects were on the analysis and interpretation of the US Air Force S81-1 mission and the Japanese EXOS-C satellite data, respectively. I have authored a manuscript on particle precipitation data analysis. It is expected to be published soon.
In the coming year, I am expecting to work as a co-investigator of Belgium's PROBA-V/EPT satellite data on radiation belt particle precipitation at low altitudes in the atmosphere as well as the Principal Investigator of the multi-spacecraft-observed climate change-related project on Land-Cover and Land-Use Change (LCLUC) in South Asia on Bangladesh and, probably, neighboring countries. I have prepared a manuscript on LCLUC for the Bengal basin. I am trying to publish it as soon as possible.
Toward the end of the Air Force-funded EXOS-C project in the mid-nineties, degrading environmental conditions in the downstream Ganges basin due to the upstream water piracy (upstream water use to the extent of causing downstream ecosystem damage of any degree) moved me so much that I could not avoid my obligation as an academician and a native of the affected area to document them, although it was a quite new field for me.
I have documented my work in seven volumes. My books on the Farakka Barrage and the Ganges River are available on Amazon. Please use the links below to find more information on the publication. The books on the Farakka Barrage are assimilated into two volumes.
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 1 briefs the solutions that riparian nations follow for mutual coexistence along with India's skewness on riparian water issues. Volume 2 starts with the procrastinating marathon Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh meetings, and the short-term water piracy treaties in between which India indefinitely pirated an inordinate quantity of the Ganges water creating a desert in the delta, and culminating in the change of the course of the Ganges through an artificially excavated feeder canal linking the Hooghly River. The third volume of the series focuses on the ecocide effects at the downstream and is expected to be published soon. A fourth book of the series entitled Jaladasyupana (meaning water piracy) was published in Bengali in 2013.
The books on the Ganges River have been published in three volumes. These are:
Ganges 1
Ganges 2
Ganges 3
On other miscellaneous issues, I collaborate with some colleagues from Kansas and elsewhere in water purification projects. Currently, we are working to device a field-scale arsenic filter to provide arsenic-free groundwater for irrigation which will prevent the food chain from arsenic contamination
I take interests on outdoor lightning protection. I authored a book on this in Bengali in 2013.
I am authoring a book on GDP, which I advocate not for using as the economic health index for nations because it has been turned non-universal due to the water piracy at the upstream in riparian basins. The GDPs of downstream countries that lose the renewable natural resource water cannot be compared with the upstream water-pirating countries. Further, I try to find the relation between religion and science. Furthermore, I have ideas to test in converting gravitational energy to useful energy and in making an instrument to explore underground resources. My principal hobbies are gardening and writing.
My CV and my contact information can be found in the About Me section. I have also placed a link below for people to educate themselves regarding the situation of arsenic poisoning in the Ganges basin. The other link will go to Humane Water, where I serve as the Director of Water & Sanitation – Asia & Manager of Region III, USA. This non-profit organization is dedicated to deliver economic and environmentally friendly water supply for arsenic, pathogen, and other contaminants-affected communities in Bangladesh and other nations around the world.
You can also view my research directly on Research Gate. I welcome contacts from hiring authorities for interdisciplinary/distinguished faculty or better positions.
Thank you for visiting my site. More updates will be coming soon.

Category: Drug Screening
Justifacts Answers Your Frequently Asked Drug Testing Questions
Created on 26 February 2016
1 Comment
Drug abuse in the workplace is both a concern and an expensive problem. Drug abuse does not discriminate, it can be found in small businesses and large corporations. It can be found among blue collar and white collar workers, young and old, wealthy and poor.
The one consistent fact about drug abuse in the workplace is the cost. Impaired employees are absent 3 times more often to call off work, are 33 % less productive when they do show up, and far more likely to be involved in workplace accidents or fatalities.
Subscribe to our email list to be alerted of our next blog post: |
For this reason it makes sense that about 57% of organizations are requiring drug testing as a part of the pre-employment background screening package. Of course, picking the drug screening program that works best for your organization can be a challenging process. Here are a few answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we hear.
If all we are doing is drug screening, do we still need to get authorizations and disclosures?
YES! Any report that you get from a background screening company (CRA) is regulated by the FCRA. This means that organizations do need authorizations and disclosures even if drug screening is the only background screening service you order.Can applicants/ employees "beat" a drug test?
There are a number of ways that an individual may try to falsify a drug test. Urine tests remain the most common types of drug test used for pre-employment screening purposes. Unfortunately, urine tests are also the most likely to be tampered with.Common methods for altering results include:
- Substituting a someone (or something's) urine sample in place of one's own
- Adulterating a sample by adding a foreign substance such as dish soap, vinegar, bleach, etc…
- Attempting to dilute a sample by consuming large amounts of water or adding water directly to a sample
- Providing a "temperature out of range" sample, which indicates that the individual may have provided a false sample
What about false positives? Are drug tests reliable?
One of the most important aspects of any employment drug screening program is the use of a qualified medical review officer (MRO). An MRO will review every drug screen. If a drug screen returns a positive result the MRO will conduct an interview with the individual to determine if any prescription, over the counter medication, or even poppy seeds may have affected the individual's drug screen results. MROs are specially trained and are able to use their expertise to represent both the needs of the donor and the ordering agency.How much time should I give an applicant/ employee to complete his/her drug test?
Time plays a critical factor in drug testing. To help avoid situations where a donor may try to flush his/her system, temporarily abstain from drug use or even obtain a false sample, it makes sense to give individuals as short a time frame as possible to complete their drug screen.What about marijuana? How does our drug testing program deal with a drug that shows up on a drug screen well after the individual last used it? How does legalization affect our drug testing policy?
First, let's deal with the urban legend about how long marijuana remains in one's system. Rumors abound that marijuana can be detected 30+ days after use. Although extremely rare instances of this exist, typically use in chronic users is normally detected within 10 days of last use and for occasional user within 3-4 days of last use.The legalization of marijuana has prompted many organizations to take a second look at their drug screening policies. However, it is important to note that even in states where recreational and/or medicinal marijuana use has been legalized, it remains illegal under federal law. Furthermore, any federal employee or DOT regulated employee can still expect a zero tolerance policy when it comes to testing positive for marijuana use.
Are there automated options?
Electronic Chain of Custody (COC) forms and an online scheduling system are available that allows users to schedule tests, choose collection sites, set customized parameters that determine cutoff times and immediately email/text the COC to the applicant. Justifacts will seamlessly incorporate test results into the applicant's background report.For non-regulated industries, the option for instant testing can be used to provide rapid results.
A robust drug screening program can go a long way towards keeping employees and the people we serve safe and productive. For more information on how a Justifacts can help develop the right drug screening program to fit your needs, contact Justifacts! Request Information

At ten he went downstairs. He had reserved a table in the library next to the bar where you could have your meals brought to you as you sat in the deep, comfortable armchairs. A fire was burning in the hearth, its warmth reaching out to him and the flames casting a glow on the wood-paneled walls.
Feeling good after his bath, a change of clothes and a slap of aftershave on his cheeks, he decided to have a drink. He savored it slowly while studying the menu the waiter had placed on his table. Maureen. After all these years. Would she have changed? Would she still be as genuine and warm? As . . .
He didn't finish the thought. She was in the doorway when he looked up, wearing a warm coat. She looked the other way so at first he wasn't sure it was her. But when she moved her head his heart leaped and he hurried over to her.
"Maureen," he said.
"It's so good to see you."
They smiled. Not sure whether to shake her hand or kiss her, he did neither.
"It's so good to see you," he repeated. "How long has it been?"
"Ten years," she said.
"Ten years," he repeated as if taken aback. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," she said. "It's ten years."
He helped her out of her coat and handed it to the waiter. They went into the library, she leading the way. She had always been slim, but he thought she had lost weight. Yet she looked good, her face smooth and her eyes clear, though perhaps she seemed a little tired. The veins in her neck that he had stroked so often were still faintly traced.
