This blog post is written based on Paul M. Rand's "Highly Recommended" book.
Recommendation – the highest honour a brand can receive from their customers. Being recommended is no easy feat; a brand often has to be flawless in all areas: customer service, product quality, and after-sales services in order to become recommended.
Recommendation used to mean telling your friends and relatives about a positive experience you had with a brand's service or product. But with the rise of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.), everyone suddenly gains the ability to let their thoughts percolate through the Internet, and into the eyes and ears of millions across the world.
In this book, Highly Recommended, Paul M. Rand shared with us 5 lessons on how to live a recommended life as an individual, but let's see how we can let our brand live a recommended life on social media!
Lesson 1: Develop a clear and purposeful story of how you want people to talk about you.
Start with the end in mind. This requires careful planning of your business objectives and goals before embarking on your social media journey.
Do you want your customers to recommend you on your customer service (like Zappos), quality and lifestyle (like Apple), or simply being fun and creative (like Oreo)? Furthermore, by envisioning a goal for your company, it helps to make and sticking to decision easier. You will most likely choose the decision that leads to your ultimate objective.
Take Debbie does cake, for example, Debbie wants to be recommended for making cakes that look like anything but cakes.
Some bakers may want their cakes to be recommended for their taste or mouth-water ingredients, but not Debbie. She takes pride in knowing her cakes were on display for hours before anyone realizes it's edible. (Read more here: Buzzfeed)
If she wasn't sure of what she wants, she might have wavered after receiving any negative comments from people.
P.S. Looks like I just recommended her for her amazingly weird cakes too.
Lesson 2: Live your brand
Now that you have set up the end goal for your brand, it's time to live up to it!
If you own a small business like Debbie, it's easy to live up to your brand; you simply have to uphold it and be accountable to yourself. However, what happens when you are a huge brand like Zappos?
You would most likely need to setup tools, mantra, and rewards system to guide, educate, and reward your employees to live and breathe your brand.
Take Zappos for example, how do they make sure that all their employees live up to their promise of excellent customer services?
Zappos ensures all their employees receive a minimum of four weeks of training on making customers happy. They also maintain a 24/7 warehouse that eats into their revenue to ensure quick deliveries. There are also 10 core values that encourage and enforce excellent customer services.
Have you read about those legendary customer service stories by Nordstrom? Well, Zappos has their own stories too. These help to serve as reminders and a level of service Zappos hope their staffs can achieve.
So start planning a way to remind your staffs to live up to your brand, and not forgetting a reward system to reward them for achieving it!
Lesson 3: Be human, be transparent, and live up to mistakes quickly
Humans run brands, and they inevitably make mistakes. Generally, consumers on most occasions are able to forgive and forget if a brand is willing to admit and apologize sincerely for their mistakes.
David Ogilvy once said the perfect quote to sum this up
The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife.
Well, I bet you know what happens when you try to lie to your wife, and she inevitably finds out about it.
Some simple and quick tips you may use if such PR disaster were to happen.
- Take down the offending post immediately
- Make an apology post that acknowledges the mistakes with no bullshit to try to smooth things over.
- Monitor your brand's social media mention for the next few days, and try to communicate with fans who have failed to see your apology or are still infuriated at your post.
FedEx did a great job here.
Lesson 4: Stay Engaging and Interesting
You know what's boring? Someone who thinks they are the most interesting person in the world and talks incessantly about themselves. Familiar? This is what brands have been doing throughout the years with advertising.
Unfortunately, this dynamic hasn't changed much for most brands even when communications are clearly shifting from pushing to pulling. Brands are still constantly blabbering on about their products on social media, without any form of feedback channels or engagement.
So how should your brand stay engaging and interesting?
- Find out what your followers have in common other than liking your brand. Facebook provides a utility, Audience Insight (under Ads Manager), which allows you to understand your fans better by finding out what other pages they have liked.
- Vary the type of content you post on Facebook. Here is a list of examples from Social Media Examiner
- Social media focuses a lot on personal interaction, which is why your job doesn't end after posting. Always try to reply to each comment that your fans have posted to show that you value their interaction!
One rule of thumb would be the 20/80 ratio - 20% of sales-related posts and 80% of entertaining and useful bits.
Lesson 5: Regularly evaluate and evolve - but stay true to your core.
Consumers are fickle minded, and you will never know which social media platform they might flock to next. It's therefore important for brands to constantly keep themselves updated on technology and social media trends.
Lastly, by staying consistent with your end goal, and ensuring that your fans receive the same treatment and promise across social media, you will be rewarded with their unwavering loyalty.
I hope you enjoyed these lessons as much as I do, and go live a recommended live!

There is a VAST amount of stuff about using Paypal not only on their own website but elsewhere on the internet. HUGE amounts of irrelevant bollocks, flow charts of the "customer's buying experience" and all manner of tedious garbage. Payal's Website Payments Standard Integration Guide is 466 PAGES long! Here on one page is all you really need to know in order to add a BUY IT NOW type button. If you want a shopping cart, go and fish one out of the river.
- At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, if you don't already have one you will need a Paypal account - whereas your customers do not.
- Login to your account.
- Click the Merchant Services tab.
- In spite of the manual running to 466 pages I could find NO link for 'Website Payments Standard' - to use PayPal's weird terminology. So...
- From the LEFT hand table select SELL SINGLE ITEM. This opens a page entitled CREATE A PAYPAL PAYMENT BUTTON. At the top is a link to "see Website Payments Standard Overview" Click that and the next screen has a "SIGN UP NOW" button.
- Do that. When done, there is a link to "Go to my business setup." Go there.
- There are 5 options.
- Set up my payment solution
- Customise my buyer's checkout experience [jeeezers]
- Manage my money [must be joking]
- Process my orders
- My bookeeping
- Next screen has 3 main option.
- Create payment buttons
- Third party carts
- Custom integration
- Buy Now
- Add to Cart
- Subscribe
- Donate
- Buy Gift Certificate
- Chose a button type and enter your payment details
- Track inventory, profit and loss (optional)
- Customise advanced features (optional).
- Enter the payment details. This includes options to include an item ID, offer choice of colours, sizes, postage etc. You can modify the size of button [see below], opt to use your own, whether to display credit card logos and so on.
- Muck about with steps 2 and 3 if you want - but finally...
- Click CREATE BUTTON at the foot of the page. This opens a new window with a preview of the button you selected plus the HTML and a 'select code' button
- Select the code and copy it in place on your webpage and that's more or less it. On the same screen are options to save your button, go to 'my saved buttons', create a similar or new button. The result might look like one of these.
As shown above, the size can be altered as can the button text. There is some tidying up to do if you aspire to XHTML - clearly PayPal don't. I can't show you the original as Joomla insists on tidying up the poor PayPal HTML but you need to check there is a space and a forward slash / at the end of each input tag and the image tag. I also get rid of the extra Paypal alt verbiage in the image tag about Paypal being safe and easy and just leave alt equalling PayPal - like this;
Having created your first button and saved it subsequent buttons are a whole lot quicker. Log in to your PayPal account and select the Merchant Services tab. On the left hand panel are various options including viewing saved buttons. Clicking that will give you options to edit, create similar or new buttons or to delete it.
Paypal uses a lot of JavaScript. If you are trying to use Paypal buttons etc on a CMS website such as one running under Joomla you may encounter problems. Most seem solvable and about there is a great deal of info and help to be had from the Joomla forum. As I come across them I will include nuggets of advice below.
- If you use a Buy now button with an email address in it then you may need to place emailcloak=off (within curly brackets!) in the Article.
Here is a bit more info from PayPal which you can skip if you want! Once you've implemented Website Payments Standard onto your website, shoppers can click the "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" button when they find the right product or service. From there, they go to a secure PayPal page to pay. If they pay with a credit card, they don't need to have a PayPal account - they can simply fill in billing, shipping, and payment information. If they pay with PayPal, this information is already stored in their PayPal account. After checkout, all shoppers return to a confirmation page on your website.
Website Payments Standard offers several advantages to those who are just launching their online business, or for those wishing to expand without increasing their overhead. It allows you to accept credit card payments at a low per transaction fee (with no set-up fee or monthly fee), nor do you need a separate IMA - which is usually required for accepting credit card payments and often involves a lengthy application and approval process. And shoppers don't need a PayPal account. [Yes, yes, you've said that already!]
With Website Payments Standard, merchants avoid the liability of protecting shoppers' credit card data, as shoppers enter this information only on secure PayPal pages. This flexible solution lets you accept payments for products or services, donations, subscriptions requiring recurring payments, and gift certificates. If you need to process payments received by phone, fax, or email can use Virtual Terminal with Website Payments Standard for a monthly fee.
Website Payments Standard offers the easiest way to turn a static HTML content page into a transactional page. If you're an experienced HTML author, PayPal lists the variables to create a cart for upload integration. In that case, you can transfer all the information you've collected to Website Payments Standard via an HTML form post.
For more details on integrating Website Payments Standard, visit PayPal Integration Centre - Standard and the best of British!

New "Flushed Away" Trailer
Posted by Victor Navone at 1:59 PM

Seems to be very funny :-))ReplyDelete
Think it'll be a lot of fun and the animation looks great. The only thing that bothers me a little bit, is that to me, Aardman designs are for stop motion and "Flushed Away" looks too clean to be convincing, If that's the look they're trying to achieve. I understand that it's because of all the water scenes they had to make it CG and I'm sure it'll grow on me, once I get use to the idea of the Aardman look, computer style. i'm going to see it and I'm looking forward to it too, that's for sure:)ReplyDelete

There is little fear here that a new American president will mean a radical shift in US policy toward the Middle East. This disappoints some -- like a PLO official who hd despaired at both candidates -- but it gives rise to hope for many.
"We understand that American policy is a mainstream," an Egyptian Foreign Ministry offical says. "There are differences in style according to who holds the presidency, but the basic goals remain the same."
Hard-line Israeli nationalists drew comfort from the election result, hoping for a lessening of American constraints on Israeli settlements in occupied Arab territory.
For months leaders in the Middle East have studied Mr. Reagan's proposals and met his aides. What they see is an opportunity for expanding on Mr. Carter's openings with the resolute leadership Mr. Reagan has promised.
This is not to suggest that Reagans's victory reassures Arabs. "With Mr. Reagan there are still some areas of concern to us," says Mansour Hassan, a close aid to President Sadat, referring to Mr. Reagan's staunch support of Israel, "but we know that much is said in the course of a campaign and we hope for some change once he takes office. No president can see the world as black and white."
An Israeli journalist observes that his countrymen are looking forward to Republican foreign-affairs management. He fondly recalls Henry Kissinger's dramatic and effective "shuttle diplomacy" and predicts a "major breakthrough" in the stalled taks over Palestinian autonomy if the Reagan administration follows a Kissinger-style approach.
Egyptians and Israelis alike seem to welcome the idea of a regional policy directed by Henry Kissinger or one of his associates. Mr. Kissinger is liked by Mr. Sadat and respected by Mr. Begin. But the sense of not knowing who will be running the show causes both sides to continually ask American travelers who the next secretary of state and national security adviser might be.
"The best thing about what happened on Nov. 4," as an Egyptian involved in Palestinian autonomy negotiations put it, "is that the American election ended today, and now we can expect attention to the problems at hand."

I passed on this idea for a "COOL LENT" (from the Cool People Care website) to my college students as a way to be more engaged this Lenten season. It would great for youth, too. So many people seem to love the idea of "giving up" something for Lent, but they miss the point that we give it up in order to make space for something else. If you are giving up soda, use the funds you would have spent and give it to a charity. If you are giving up watching TV, use that time for ministry. If you are fasting, use the time you would have spent eating to serve a meal at a homeless shelter. If you are giving up chocolate....Wait a minute! Why would anyone give up chocolate!!?

Proudly Serving Greater Cincinnati,
Lebanon, Mason, West Chester and nearby
I had my roof replaced in March 2017 and as anyone living in Cincinnati knows this is the most unpredictable weather time and this year was no different. While battling both snow and rain Guaranteed Roofing stuck to their appointment times and met all of my expectations and then some. Including placing a temporary tarp to minimize the damage my roof already had. I feel Willie Hurst gave me a competitive quote with the applications that best suited my needs. The best thing about this company is they are there!! Willie was at my home to give me a quote, their crew of men were at my home in the timeframe I was given, Wilie was on the job through out the entire project and Jason Grimes was there to inspect and make sure everything was cleaned up and done to their standards. Which their standards are very high!! I was not working off a sheet of paper with information and I didn't have to go to them to see the materials being used or to sign a contract. Willie did everything to accommodate my time knowing that I am a working individual with time constraints as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new roof and I have already had several compliments on the look of the roof and the efficiency of the men working on it.

Thought, Feeling, and Emotion
About nine years ago, an uncle I had named Chuck, committed suicide by sticking a gun into his mouth. Chuck was a sensational and inspiring man. He was someone that I had looked up to when I was either lonely or confused. Chuck was also lonely and had a frustrating childhood when he was growing up. He never thought about the good things that he had in his life, and he could not erase the bad memories of his painful child hood. "If you deliberately keep thinking less of what you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life." –Abraham Maslow
A couple of weeks after the incident, I soon found out that he was gone. No goodbye, no warning, nor any reason that could have warned us about what was going on. The Thanksgiving before this tragedy was the last memory I had left of him. I was scared, because I'd never really known that anyone in my family could just suddenly disappear. I kept thinking that maybe my mom, or my dad, or one of my brothers would die unexpectedly. Every time I thought about him, the sadness started to suck the life and the happiness out of me like a leech as it drains the blood out of its' prey.
A couple of years later one of my best friends and I fell through a frozen lake up in Frisco, Colorado. This event was the scariest memory of a sheer life and death experience. It was a fight for our lives to try and keep above the surface or be frozen to death or drowned. Confusion enveloped my brain and started to make this horrific event worsen. The brain is like an over-exaggerating child. My mind kept making up random thoughts, which made my body desire to lose control. I felt what I thought was my body temperature decreasing and the dampness of my clothes made swimming above the surface harder and harder. Those thoughts were hurting me, and were trying to make me lose hope. It was like swimming with dumbells enclosed around my feet. Soon, we managed to crawl out, and pass this horrendous test.
I believe that a thought changes the emotion of an individual. Emotions are feelings fueled by different thoughts to make the body react in different ways. That is what emotion is. Every smile, tear, and frown, from happiness to sadness, love to hatred, are all feelings that have changed the way I am and my personality to make me a better person. Every memory that I have shows an authentic imagery through an emotion to explain how I feel about someone or something. When you smile, what are you thinking about to make you feel this way?

To celebrate the launch of the P5 Wireless headphone we asked some of our favourite artists to give us 10 tracks they'd never interrupt while listening on headphones. First up, East India Youth
Fela Ransome-Kuti & The Africa '70 – Alu Jon Jonki Jon
I think the first time I heard this was on headphones, and while it may be more appropriate to be played out and danced to, I think being able to hear the stereo separation of the drums and percussion really adheres you to the hypnotic groove.
Donna Summer – State of Independence
Brian Eno said that this song – specifically Donna Summer's version – is one of the high points for art in the 20th Century. I often listen to it while in transit for some reason, perhaps because the unbounded joy of the track plays well against the sometimes depressing prospect of the London Underground. If you see me on the tube with my headphones on, smiling, then there's a good chance I'm listening to this.
Caribou – Niobe
There's a lot going on in Dan Snaith's stereo field. I think all of his music works just as well on headphones as it does in a club setting. The whole of 'Andorra' is a rich tapestry of sound, and I think the way stuff is screwed about with in terms of phase-shifting and panning on this track makes it a highly rewarding listen.
My Bloody Valentine – To Here Knows When
Is Loveless the ultimate headphones album? Nothing envelopes me more. And besides, you're going to need headphones to be able to get a sense of the vowel sounds the barely audible vocals are making.
Cass McCombs – County Line
This album ('Wit's End') is a dark but constantly warm affair and I think its lower-end moments are best enjoyed with your cans on. The reverb on the whole album seems very specific, and I think you can really get the best sense of the space created by listening closely.
Philip Glass – Act IV: Spaceship from Einstein on The Beach
Something everyone should do is listen to the entirety of Einstein on the Beach on headphones and become completely lost for a few hours. You tune yourself into a new way of listening to music and, perhaps, you will reach a new astral plane.
The Flaming Lips – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
I like to be saturated with sound and really get into dense atmospheric music, usually quite high on the midrange. The Flaming Lips with producer Dave Fridmann have given me that gift on many occasion, so it was hard to choose just one recording. This version of the classic written by Ewan McColl is easily one of the most beautiful and strange things I've ever heard.
Scott Walker – Clara
I'm really sorry if you've never heard this before and it scares the living hell out of you, but it's quite nice when music does that, isn't it? Easily one of the most terrifying tracks recorded. So many frequencies from barely audible highs to screeching, doom-laden atonal strings. Don't listen in the dark. Or do, if that's the sort of thing you get off on.
Factory Floor – Two Different Ways
Once again straddling the ability to be played through a PA and danced to, or to have a more intimate experience with, this absolute classic from Factory Floor has much percussive and shifting frequency detail that headphones enhance.
The European – Tearaway
I love this song so much. A beautiful ballad ending up being absolutely torn to shreds and into fragments of several different songs and sound sources introduced in the final section until grinding to a glorious halt.
East India Youth's new album, Culture of Volume is out now on xl Recordings.
He will be playing the Bowers & Wilkins Sound System stage at WOMAD on Friday, 24th July.

My duties as a University Ambassador included extensive interaction with prospective students such as conducting campus tours and manning the reception desk during Open Days. I have also served on the recruitment panel for selecting other Student Ambassadors.
At Cheil, a global corporation, I was tasked with another intern to prepare an important product pitch. This involved liaising with Chiel co-workers via email to generate new and innovative ideas. In addition my responsibilities included the creation of a product research survey, a powerpoint pitch presentation and detailed research such as: creating a product research survey.
At this small company, which specialises in developing digital marketing campaigns for external clients, I gained insight into the mechanics of marketing in the internet era. I acquired some basic digital software skills including WordPress, Google Analytics and Moz Analytics and became familiar with basic online marketing and advertising practices on social media platforms.
At this consumer electronics company, I wrote reviews on new products which were included in the company's monthly email publication for customers. My tasks also included writing press releases to be displayed on the company's website. To enhance my understanding of the company's business and production practices, I visited their factory based in Shenzhen, China. Putting my Photoshop skills into practice, I took sole responsibility to design two backdrops for the company's display booths at two of the most prestigious global Consumer Electronics Fairs, IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin) 2014 and HKCEF (Hong Kong Consumer Electronics Fair) October 2014.(See portfolio attached)
My responsibilities at this company, which designs and manufactures chipsets for the semi-conductor industry, involved testing and reviewing Digital Audio Broadcasting radios and Chipsets and compiling a report on the results for the Marketing Manager. The report included results from the testing of the radios themselves, an evaluation of the sound, colour and design of the product and an evaluation of the product's online marketing campaign. The report also contained recommendations on how the online marketing of the product could be improved.

Clarkson University And The Clarkson Club Unite With Local Businesses And Alumni To Help Students Displaced By Hurricane Katrina
[A photograph for newspaper use is available at www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/gianttiger.jpg]
Clarkson University and the Clarkson Club teamed with local businesses and alumni recently
to assist five Gulf Coast area University students who were extended enrollment to Clarkson after being displaced last month by Hurricane Katrina. Clarkson was one of many colleges and universities throughout the nation that offered spots in their academic programs to the estimated 75,000 to 100,000 students impacted by the hurricane in an effort to ensure their academic progress was not unduly delayed.
Aid to the five new Clarkson students has come in a variety of forms – from Clarkson's provision of free room and board and wavier of additional out-of-pocket expenses – to local donations of clothing and supplies. In addition, financial contributions from alumni have been pouring in and will be used to offset related living expenses including books, travel and medical insurance.
"As a nation, we have witnessed with heartfelt compassion the devastating impact that Hurricane Katrina has had on Gulf Coast communities," said Clarkson President Tony Collins. "At the same time, we have witnessed an outpouring of generosity and response within our own local community and our alumni community to rally around these students to minimize the disruption of this natural disaster on their education and college experience," he added.
In the immediate days following the announcement of the students' impending arrival to Potsdam, the Clarkson Club, the university's social and volunteer organization, raised in excess of $2,000 at its September 9 annual Newcomers' Welcome Dinner to help support the students and raise funds for the American Red Cross relief fund. The club also contacted several area businesses to solicit donations for the incoming students, and their requests, notes Clarkson Club President, Pat Turner, "were met with immense support." Participating businesses to date include the Kinney Drugs Potsdam store, The Computer Guys, St. Lawrence Supply, Hacketts, Giant Tiger, Great Northern Printing, Ponderosa Steak House, Robars and Empire Vision.
Two of the five students are from the Northeast or have relatives in the area. The remaining students fled the Gulf with little more than the clothes they were wearing. To help these students The Village Engraver & Gifts in Massena is providing three $25 gift certificates Sears store associates in Massena are collecting funds on their own initiative to buy coats for each of the three students.
Clarkson Club drivers will transport the students to these stores.
The Clarkson Club's Lending Cupboard has also been a great source of necessary items for outfitting the dorm rooms, which were prepared for the evacuees by volunteer club members.
"We wish to thank these individuals and businesses for their demonstrated generosity and compassion," said President Collins adding, "This level of cooperation truly demonstrates the spirit of the North Country and exemplifies Clarkson's commitment to university life."
Clarkson will continue efforts throughout the year to aid the victims of Katrina, including the estimated 85 Clarkson alumni from the Gulf Coast region. Continued assistance for the new students is also welcomed and will be channeled through the Office of Alumni Relations. Contact the office at 315-268-6467 for additional information.

London: China has reportedly accused British MPs of meddling in Hong Kong`s affairs.
The Chinese Foreign Affairs Committee, in a strongly worded letter, accuses its UK counterpart of carrying out a "highly inappropriate act, which constitutes interference in China`s internal affairs", the BBC reports.
The Committee wrote in the letter that UK has sent a wrong political signal to the outside world, and disrupted Hong Kong`s political reform.
China further stated that it would not tolerate any interference, either directly or indirectly, from the UK or any other external forces, the report said.
Earlier, the Chinese government issued a strict warning to foreign countries against interfering in Hong Kong`s politics.
The warning comes as China is set to make an important announcement on the territory`s election process.
Chinese state media said using Hong Kong as a "bridgehead to subvert the mainland" would not be tolerated.
As the Chinese government is planning to limit elections to selected pro-Beijing candidates, pro- democracy activists in Hong Kong have threatened mass disobedience if elections are not opened up.
China`s standing committee of the National People`s Congress is holding a week-long conference to discuss how to pick Hong Kong`s next leader.
While critics have suggested that China should screen candidates through a nominating committee, China says that citizens of Hong Kong can elect their leader in 2017.
Pro-democratic activists have vowed to launch a large-scale civil disobedience if an agreement is not accepted.
Many think the committee only includes the elite businessmen of Beijing.

I was doing microjobs so I could use the earnings to create my own job.
Now that I have saved enough earnings, I was finally going to post my job.
I took my time to submit a decent job that complies to the rules but after posting my job,

Must say that I'm really disappointed now.
Is this really necessary, and why?

Concerned about exposure to ultraviolet light? Use the UV Tile to get a snapshot of the current UV level and set an exposure reminder to help protect yourself.
What is UV and why should I care about it?
UV stands for ultraviolet, a type of light in the sun's rays. Tanning lamps and tanning beds also use UV light. Prolonged, unprotected exposure to UV light can damage your skin and eyes—potentially resulting in health problems such as cataracts—weaken your immune system, and cause skin cancer by mutating DNA.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. According to the World Health Organization, between 2 million and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. It's also highly preventable with proper use of sunscreens and clothing coverage. Unfortunately, many people don't take these precautions.
What is the UV index (UVI)?
The UVI, or UV index, measures intensity of UV radiation from the sun on a scale of one to 11, with one being low risk and 11 being extreme risk.
How do I see the UV index (UVI) on my Band?
Although you can't see UV light, you can check the current UV level with your Microsoft Band. Here's how:
|Step 1:
|Press the power button.
|Step 2:
|On the Me Tile, swipe left and tap the UV Tile
|Step 3:
|Expose the UV sensor to the sun and press the action button. If your Band's touchscreen is on the outside of your wrist, you may need to rotate your wrist so that the clasp of the Band faces up.
|Step 4:
|Your Band will analyze a sample of the UV level and display a reading (Extreme, Very High, High, Medium, Low, or None).
Want to improve your protection against UV exposure? Set UV exposure reminders and monitor your exposure (Microsoft Band 2 only)
If your Microsoft Band 2 detects exposure to UV light, it alerts you and gives you an option to set reminders if you continue to be exposed. You can set the duration that works best with your protection for the day.
Swipe left and tap Yes or No. To dismiss the warning, swipe right and tap Dismiss.
Here's how to set a UV exposure reminder:
|Step 1:
On the Me Tile, swipe left and tap the UV Tile
|Step 2:
|Swipe left, and under Exposure Reminder, tap the icon to turn the reminder On.
|Step 3:
|Swipe left, and under Reminder Cadence, choose how often your Band will remind you about your exposure to UV light. Pick a longer cadence if you're sufficiently protected with SPF and clothing and a shorter cadence if you want to be reminded to get out of the sun.
Monitor your UV exposure on the Microsoft Health web dashboard
Your Microsoft Health web dashboard tracks your UV exposure throughout the day and during workouts so you can monitor your exposure over time.
How do I track my UV exposure on the dashboard?
|Step 1:
Open the Microsoft Health web dashboard
|Step 2:
Sign in with your Microsoft account—the same account you use for the Microsoft Band app on your phone.
|Step 3:
In the left menu, select Activities and select an activity.
|Step 4:
Under the Summary tab, check UV exposure to see how much UV light you've been exposed to during that activity.
If you don't see the UV Tile on your Band, you can turn it on. See Manage tiles and notifications to learn how to turn tiles on and off and how to rearrange the order of tiles on your Band.
The UV reading is a snapshot of the level where and when you took the reading, not the cumulative total of your UV exposure.

More Road Woes for Portland
The Portland Trail Blazers just watched an opportunity to pick up a game on the Los Angeles Lakers bounce off the side of the rim and out. That opportunity took form of a LaMarcus Aldridge game winning attempt. It felt like that was Aldridge's only miss the entire night.
Last week's NBA Western Conference Player of the Week added to his recent superior play with a 32 point 14 rebound performance in a losing effort Monday night.
Next Matchup: Portland (31-35) @ Milwaukee Bucks (33-32)
Venue: BMO Harris Bradley Center
Time: 5:00 PM PT
Date: Tuesday, March 19, 2013
This was a tough loss, but Portland will have to set this loss aside and move on. Game 2 of this 5-game road trip will be just as tough, if not tougher.
Game Notes/How They Match Up
We all knew Jrue Holiday was going to be hard to handle in that last game. Same goes for Brandon Jennings in this one – even more so as they won't be able to stick Matthews on Jennings for most of the game. He will have his hands full with Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick.
The combination of these three guards can reign havoc on any team.
Portland will have to find a counter to compete with the Bucks. LaMarcus will have to continue to carry the torch. The Bucks are a little banged up down low so I don't see this being a problem.
What to Watch: Portland
For Portland, they have to keep up this fire and intensity. Losing these close games is rough, but you have to keep fighting. This will be a hard fought game.
Containing Milwaukee's guards will be key for Portland. They have the personnel to do so.. well, until their bench comes in. Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum will have their work cut out for them – these Bucks guards can fill it up in a heartbeat.
Someone from Portland's bench has to step up tonight. Babbitt made a couple late three's, only to miss his next two in last night's game. I could see Babbitt getting some more run in this one as well with the Blazers going small to match up with the Bucks.
Once Aldridge gets going it will allow the Blazers to get some open shots and they will have to knock them down. And believe me, they will get Aldridge going – the guy has been on an absolute tear as of late.
What to Watch: Milwaukee
I like watching this Bucks team since they've acquired J.J. Redick. They're just fun to watch. They will need a great game from Redick in this one.
A key loss for the Bucks in this game will be forward Ersan Ilyasova, who is doubtful with a sore back and hip. He is a guy that can spread the court for these guards with his ability to shoot and keep the ball alive with his rebounding.
Without Ilyasova, it puts more pressure on Ellis, Jennings, and Redick to score. It also puts more pressure on the defense to stay honest, with a banged up frontcourt, the Bucks can't afford to get into foul trouble.
Key Matchup
Wesley Matthews vs. Monta Ellis
Portland has had trouble containing Ellis going back to his Golden State Warriors days. Ellis is Milwaukee's leading scorer this season. If you slow him down, the rest of the team should collapse around him. Ellis is the type of player who's going to get his shots, no matter what kind of night he's having.
Matthews needs to tire him out. Make him work all night. Just completely torment him, stay up on him, in his face all night. If he can do that, Portland has a good chance of winning.
Injury Report
Portland: QUESTIONABLE—Victor Claver and Sasha Pavlovic
Milwaukee: OUT—Luc Mbah a Moute, DOUBTFUL—Ersan Ilyasova
A back-to-back for Portland, on the road? No thanks. I'm taking Milwaukee. Portland will keep it close, though, as it usually does in these let down type of games.
Blazers 94 – Bucks 102

Inspirational diversity stories
James' story
James' story
A math's student with cerebral Palsy
James is a 20 year old Maths student who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, a physical disability acquired when be was born 11 weeks prematurely. As a child James aspired to be a gladiator - but, in his own words 'quickly realised that it probably wasn't going to work out'.
The transition from school to university was difficult in every way: 'It was all the issues you had anticipated and all those you had not anticipated!' Echoing recent Government research, James notes that finding friends at university was not easy and that having a disability does not necessarily give one anything in common with other disabled people.
Exhibiting all round determination however, James is working very hard to ensure that in spite of his disability (and the recession), he will find employment when he graduates. At the start of his second year James was searching his university Careers' web site when he found a Shaw Trust bulletin promoting their partnership with Ernst & Young's scheme whereby students with disabilities are encouraged to apply for summer internships.
'Through the Shaw Trust I've been made aware that there are companies out there which are not only conscious of my issues, but are understanding in a realistic way.'
At the time of writing James was half way through his internship, 'it has been fantastic and has allowed me to grow as a person. I'm working in Audit and within that for Capital Markets and Banking - it has been amazing and an eye opener!' Even better news is that James had just been offered a two weeks' extension to his internship at Ernst & Young; we take this as a very positive sign and hope that he wins a place on their coveted graduate scheme.

Most of us are well aware that different people often make different decisions in similar situations. However, most of us also have no idea why. This confusion can lead to frustration, clouding an otherwise harmonious work environment. Hirsh and Hirsh (2003) observe that The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) is a fairly good predictor of how individuals make decisions, and can also provide invaluable insights into why and how individuals make the decisions they do, including what factors they consider, how they implement their vision, and how they evaluate their success afterwards. Armed with this knowledge, you and your team can streamline the decision making process in the workplace and spend more time and energy on what really matters—achieving better outcomes for everyone.
Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling –Judging (INFJ) MBTI personality types consider personal impact and long-term goals above all else. While their solutions are not always the simplest, they do get the job done. However, their plans can be so complex that pragmatists, like ENTPs, remain skeptical. Therefore, INTJs tend to benefit from working on diverse teams, where they can balance out more outcome-oriented personality types. INFJs are innovators—they enjoy thinking "outside the box" and exploring alternatives to tradition. That said, they always keep the impact they might cause on others close to heart, and strive to work towards optimizing outcomes both as an end goal, as well as in maintaining a harmonious team along the way. If you are an INFJ, set a concrete cutoff point (for instance, coming up with 5 ideas by the end of the day) and, once you reach that point, stop! Take a break, and consider how you will decide among your various options.
As INFJs begin to evaluate and commit to one of their options, they tend to be forward-thinking and future-oriented. This also aligns with their preference for creative problem solving. However, they should also make an effort to learn from the past and present in order to avoid making similar mistakes. One of the greatest pitfalls for INFJs is feeling like their decisions do not support all members of their team equally, often to the extent that they imagine slights where there are none. To avoid this tendency, INFJs can and should check in with their colleagues, to determine if something is actually an issue or if it is more minuscule than it seems. As commitment segues into implementation, INFJs often take personal interest and responsibility for success. While commitment is obviously important, they should recognize that asking others for help and input is not an imposition, but is rather an opportunity for team building, and for all parties to become equally involved in a project. Throughout this process, INFJs should also keep in mind that altering the implementation process will always be necessary—nothing goes exactly as planned. Far from being a negative, however, adaptation is the sign of a pragmatic, well organized team!
Finally, when evaluating their decisions, INFJs can become overly invested. While focusing on individual personal development is clearly important, INFJs may also benefit from using a rubric or other objective criteria for evaluating success, costs, and implications of their decisions.
Like other MBTI personality types, INFJs' decision making is unique and has its own individual strengths and challenges. To extend their strengths, INFJs should seek opportunities to collaborate with others, especially those who are more objective and present-oriented.

I made this for lunch and I am telling you, it was SERIOUSLY delicious! I loved the sweet tomatoes and caramelized onion on top of the toasted artisan bread topped with the salty ham and the creamy Swiss cheese. The combination of flavors and textures was superb and definitely worth the time it took to make it. I have a feeling I'll be making this one again soon.
Place the 2 teaspoons of oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown. Season with sea salt, to taste. Side Note: If the skillet gets dry, add a tablespoon of water or two. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
While the oven is preheating, heat the same skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the tomatoes and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst. Remove from heat.
Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on each piece of artisan bread. Layer the bread with the caramelized onions, tomatoes, ham, and Swiss cheese. Place on the baking sheet and place into the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Who's Participating in No Impact Week?
No Impact Week starts today! The 8-day carbon cleanse has already connected more than 15,ooo participants with their families, communities, and the planet, and you can still join in!
Follow these participant bloggers throughout the week as they take on each day's challenges.
Kelsea MacIlroy and Muck Kilpatrick
Alamosa, Colorado
We are participating in No Impact Week because we feel like we've become stagnant in our efforts to live more mindfully. A challenge is always a great way to rejuvenate our practices, show us our weak areas, teach us new things and inspire us for the months ahead. We are looking forward to this week as a "cleanse" to focus on refining what we consume and put out!
Ashe Jaafaru
Minneapolis, Minnesota
I'm a 17-year-old junior in high school. The reason I wanted to do this is that I wanted to see if I could really commit to this. It's not easy to be eco-friendly 24/7 but if I could last at least a week, reducing my carbon footprint as a teenager, maybe I could last even longer. I mainly wanted to do this project for the experience. It seemed really fun and something that would ultimately be beneficial.
Aran Seaman
British Columbia, Canada
A year after doing the No Impact Experiment the first time, I can see how it changed my life. I was reminded how important community is, and since then I have become much more active in my city and group of friends. I am happier because of it and I find myself compelled to do it again. I can't recommend a better way to kick off the New Year.
Make your New Year's Resolution!
Join Kelsea, Muck, Ashe, Aran, Olubunmi and hundreds of others in this exciting experiment.
Olubunmi Ishola
Dallas, Texas
I'll be honest: The thought of doing No Impact Week scares me. I'm a creature of habit, and while I'm always open to ways to improve myself and my life, I like how convenient my life has been. Eliminating some of those conveniences just sounds so hard!
But what's life without a challenge? After all, it's just a week. If I don't like it, if I think somehow my life is worse off, I can always go back to my previous ways. Not to say that I've done nothing green: I've eliminated the use of plastic water bottles in my house this past year, and I generally try to recycle. I guess it's just that "being green" has always seemed to take more work and more of an effort. Maybe No Impact Week will prove me wrong.

(From May 30 and every day until September 5… the start of the 2013 NFL season… Sports Stats 'on Tapp' will publish "99 Stats Until KickOff" a daily dose of NFL stats that will get you ready for the 2013 NFL season.)
After a loss to Arizona in Week 2 and a defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, the New England Patriots went into their game September 30 at Buffalo hoping to avoid a 1-3 start. But there was another reason the Pats needed a win over their division rivals: They were looking to avoid a three-game losing streak, something that has not happened to the franchise since 2002.
Fortunately for the Pats, they came out of Buffalo with a 52-28 win and avoided a three-game losing streak for yet another year.
The last time New England lost three consecutive games in a season was 2002 when they lost four straight games to San Diego, Miami, Green Bay and Denver. They then defeated Buffalo on November 3, 2002 to end the streak. Since then, they have lost two straight on five occasions, but have not lost a third straight since October, 2002.

Update: Rating agency said to be 'reconsidering' plan to lower U.S. debt rating
According to ABC White House correspondent Jake Tapper, an anonymous government official has told ABC News that the Obama administration is "expecting and preparing for" a downgrade of its debt rating from AAA to AA or AA+ by the bond rating agency Standard & Poor.
Another source, however, agrees that preparations are under way but insists that the administration is not 100% certain that the downgrade will occur.
CNN has now issued a bulletin, however, stating that Standard & Poor had actually issued notice of a downgrade but was challenged by the administration and "acknowledged some errors" in its "analysis of the government's revenue and deficit picture." According to a senior official, the agency's model had been off by "trillions."
According to ABC News, the reasons to be given for any downgrade would include "the political confusion surrounding the process of raising the debt ceiling, and lack of confidence that the political system will be able to agree to more deficit reduction."
Another source told ABC that "Republicans saying that they refuse to accept any tax increases as part of a larger deal" would also be cited as a factor.
Standard & Poor has been warning of the possibility of a downgrade for the last several months, and there has apparently been extensive negotiation going on behind the scenes.
According to the AFP news agency, however, "A debt downgrade would certainly be an symbolic embarrassment for the Obama administration and the United States, and could raise the cost of US government borrowing. But some analysts have questioned whether a rating cut would impact demand for US debt, have dismissed the raters as having low credibility, and questioned whether the markets would take much notice. Ratings agencies Moody's and Fitch both reaffirmed their AAA rating of US debt shortly after Obama signed a bill raising the debt ceiling on Tuesday."

I tried it today and I'm getting loads more juice out of the same list. Usually I'd only do one run then forget about it and move on but on this guy's (sorry forgot the name and not ogna bother looking) advice I have been doing lots of runs through the same list. Do one run export the posteds; do a compare then do another run etc etc. I'm on about the 5th run of the same 50k AA list and it is still going like a good'un giving me signups.

Stand up Comedian Erik Griffin Live in Naples, Florida
Event Navigation
A towering force of comedy, Erik Griffin is most recognizable as the mustachioed Montez Walker on the hit Comedy Central series WORKAHOLICS, which recently wrapped its seventh and final season.
Griffin currently stars as a series regular in Showtime's dark-comedy series I'M DYING UP HERE. Based on the book by former L.A. Times writer William Knoedelseder, the fictionalized series is set in the celebrated yet infamous L.A. stand-up comedy scene of the '70s, and co-stars Melissa Leo, Al Madrigal and Ari Graynor, under executive producer Jim Carrey. Griffin's first hour-long comedy special, THE UGLY TRUTH, will also air on July 7th on Showtime.
Previous television credits include a recurring role on the Starz! comedy BLUNT TALK with Patrick Stewart, Netflix's ONE DAY AT A TIME, FX's YOU'RE THE WORST, Fox's BOB'S BURGERS, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and Nickelodeon's HARVEY BREAKS.
On the big screen, Griffin can be seen in Jake Szymanski's MIKE & DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES and Kerem Sanga's FIRST GIRL I LOVED.
Distinguished as a nationally touring comedian who headlines comedy clubs and colleges nearly every weekend, Griffin's comedy is immortalized on his debut comedy album, Technical Foul: Volume One, and his Comedy Central Presents half-hour stand-up special.
Griffin started his career in comedy after making the decision in 2003 to quit his job and pursue comedy full-time. He first gained national exposure in Comedy Central's LIVE AT GOTHAM, NBC's LAST COMIC DRIVING, Showtime's COMICS WITHOUT BORDERS, nationally syndicated COMICS UNLEASHED and performing on the ALMA Award-nominated PAYASO COMEDY SLAM on Showtime and Comedy Central networks.

The Ancient Coin Collectors Guild has become a driving force in the ongoing effort to protect coin collectors and museums in which coins are stored from being forced to give up these items to foreign governments under the premise the coins are the cultural patrimony of the claimant nation. — Richard Giedroyc, World Coin News April 26, 2010
The Australian Broadcasting Company aired a segment highlighting the conflicting views of collectors and archaeologists in regard to importing coins from Cyprus.
James Carleton, a regular commentator and reporter for the Radio National Breakfast show of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation aired a commentary on the Cyprus request for import restrictions that was recently evaluated by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee and is now pending a State Department decision. The radio segment was broadcast nationally and on the ABC web site March 29, 2007. Interviewed on the segment were Dr. Brian Rose, President of the Archaeological Institute of America and Wayne G. Sayles, Executive Director of the ACCG. The ABC is Australia's public radio system, similar to National Public Radio in the United States, and has served the Australian people for 75 years. It has become an important part of Australia's cultural heritage, fostering the arts and reflecting the nation's cultural diversity.

I pretend to have all the energy in the world, when all that I want to do is hit the bed…. It's no easy job parenting alone!
It isn't uncommon these days, to find spouses living in two different places. The reasons may be many- better career prospects or children's' education. In such cases, the children end up being with one of the parent, meeting the other over long weekends or vacations. In my case, the husband being in the armed forces, is constantly away for long spells, leaving me and the kids to manage on our own in what I call our little mad home. So for my two little children I am their single parent (well, I shall ignore the parenting on the telephone done by the hubby).
So what's the big deal here? Why does this take a toll on me?
I am charged 24/7
So here I am the super mom, charged up and on call 24/7. Of course most moms are on some sort of red alert through the day when it comes to their child's needs. But hey think about managing the show single-handedly with no help whatsoever, making those daily small decisions on your own too. I am up and about, showing up at all school functions. I cart around them and their playmates on every single day of the week. I am the nurse, the cheer leader, the counselor, the cook; well the list just goes on…
I plan; really… even before the previous one is executed
Did you just think about planning the meals for the day? Oh wait there's more. Like the craft activity for the younger one that involves paper quilling. And what did the older one want? A play date with her friend. What about the cycling session with both of them? Yes, that's what I do all the time. The mind seems to be occupied, juggling various little plans.
Where did those 24 hours go?
The hours are just not enough in a day. Damn! The newspaper still hasn't been read. Never mind, in a few hours the next day's paper would be at the door.
Frustrations? What do they look like?
I sat with that hot cup of coffee, soaking in every bit of the aroma. The younger one decides to squeal. I rush to see what it was all about, only to realize that her little pony tail lay open. I head back to my coffee and as the first few sips go down my throat, the sound from the kid's room doesn't seem all too fine. I pretend to be calm, as I pull them apart after their violent fight of bites and scratches. A few minutes of consoling and I head back to my coffee which now is sans the yummy froth and aroma. Frustrated? Naah you wouldn't spot them on my brow.
When does the day end?
And despite the tiring day, every single day, I find time to read them a bedtime story, and tuck them into bed. Bliss!!!!! The kids are asleep, the house is silent. I sit down and all I want to do is talk to someone.
Oh wait! There's no one around!! Sigh!!

I am originally from New Orleans, but I have been living in Michigan for a number of years. I go to Café Du Monde whenever I go back to visit my family in New Orleans. I love this picture and I am looking forward to putting it in my coffee themed kitchen. It will remind me daily of the fun times I spent at Café Du Monde with my family. Thank you Diane Millsap!

August 02, 2010I'm trying to play this as cool as possible while desperately attempting an air of casual indifference. But failing. Badly.
On Friday July 23, the shortlist for the 2010 CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger was announced and, whether by error or design, my name was there. I did a little jig in the manner of Riverdance (the post-Flatley years naturally) and then quickly looked around to make sure no-one had noticed.
I suspect, like the other seven writers who have been shortlisted, that getting a book published was itself the realisation of a dream and anything that comes after that really is a bonus. So I'm taking this for what it... see more
June 25, 2010Like many authors, I have a blog that I try to keep up to date when time allows. Which hasn't been much of late as a deadline for finishing a new book looms uncomfortably on the horizon.
The title of the blog - Blood and Irony - has never been more apposite, or indeed more ironic, than in the past few days.
On the one hand, I'm the author of a thriller about a taxi driver who goes on a killing spree, murdering people seemingly at random. On the other, I'm still doing the day job as a reporter on a Sunday newspaper.

Something which it would seem very much falls into one or both of those categories is multi-display gaming, either AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround. Go to any major trade show, or even press launches and the likelihood is that manufacturers are showing off the latest titles on large banks of displays whether that be groups of three or even six. Each time we also note that there is always a large crowd around these displays and those who test them tend to walk away having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Regardless of what AMD, NVIDIA and the like believe and the enjoyment we see consumers experience when they test multi-display systems when we walk round any LAN tournament gamers are still limiting themselves to single display gaming. It is strange considering that the use of multiple displays should, in theory, allow gamers to see more, compete better and be immersed further into the game world so today we look at how easy (or hard) it is to set up a multi-screen gaming system and what performance it offers in some of the latest online gaming titles.
