I finally made a fashion blog after months of thinking and talking about making one. So I figured for my first post I'd write about my current everyday handbag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Shifty Satchel.
Ironically the turnlock doesn't move.
I found this gem at the Saks Off Fifth at the Phoenix Premium Outlets (outlet, clearance, and sale shopping will be the recurring theme of this blog, by the way). I was originally planning on getting the Natasha satchel as a replacement everyday bag in this gray/taupe color. I love the taupe because it's an alternative to the typical black or white neutral bags. I almost got the red.
I should get it in red too.
For the price the Turnlock was the better deal. There's also a firm leather version. I went with the soft pebble because I like the unstructured look of it. Even stuffing the Turnlock with shirts to give it shape, there was still a crease in it. To me the unstructured look gives a vibe that is professional for work or casual day off. Another reason why I went with the soft leather was because it reminded me of the Alexander Wang Rocco, that I've been eyeing for months. Just smaller in size and price LOL. Unlike the cute but useless turnlock feature on the bag, the cross body strap is removable.
I actually didn't know the name of this bag until I searched for it online. In the different versions I noticed some of them had Marc By Marc Jacobs in large white font with the black satin inside. In my Turnlock, Marc By Marc Jacobs is written in black font on black satin. Very subtle and gives a more expensive overall look to the bag.
It looks like I'm not the only one that got in on the sale, it's currently sold out on the major department stores new, but it can found on Tradesy for as low as $59 and on Ebay. Let me know what you think of Style Cookie's first post and any suggestions for future post!

Trends In Marketing Mobile Will Continue to Grow
Political campaigns have started using
mobile marketing
. Senator Obama's campaign then capitalized using a mobile phone near universal young Americans to create mobile applications and text messaging system to communicate with potential voters and supporters. Trends in the use of mobile marketing by politicians will only continue as the increasing use of smart phones and their devices become the primary method of communication and information gathering. Grassroots organizing will no longer be done in meetings and offices, but will be done through the social web. These include mobile devices as a means of political advertising. Providing a platform for political communication and advertising will become an increasing trend for mobile marketing in the next decade. The biggest emerging market for mobile marketing is Asia. Getting the best mobile marketing information is essential for success. A company that sets sights on market penetration is going to reap huge benefits in coming decades. Cell phone ownership has soared and with more than one billion people in China alone, the
for mobile marketing is huge. One of the most recent campaign for Unilever's Axe produce 680 million incoming calls.
able to take advantage of sheer numbers of mobile phone users in the Asian market will be key to who the main players in the world of mobile marketing in the next decade. Gaining a foothold in the market today will provide the ability to ride the rising tide of Asian markets that will surely arise in the next decade. Predicting the future can obviously be a very difficult thing to do. History is filled with future predictions that never come to pass. However, the
trends in mobile marketing
shown here has already begun. Although many of them are small now, there is plenty of room for them to grow in coming decades. There is no reason this trend will not continue to develop and attract a larger user base. This trend will continue to offer mobile marketing opportunities in the coming decade.

I welcome you to the Sanctuary of Heart and Spirit, where you are invited to create, with me, a one of a kind, unique and personalized ceremony that honors your love, family, traditions, faith, customs, and life.
The Sanctuary of Heart and Spirit was created to recognize and celebrate the unique Spirit in all people. The Sanctuary is not in a building. I will bring Sanctuary to those who want to honor the presence of Love in their gathering or celebration. Gatherings are held in historic settings, outside in nature, in chapels, banquet halls, hospitals, memorial settings and in other places chosen by those I serve.
I am a licensed and ordained minister and have a Master's Degree in Counseling and Education. My life has been dedicated to recognizing and cherishing the unique and distinct gifts each individual brings to this world. Some refer to me as the bridge because I love bringing people together and honoring the uniqueness of each person's spirituality. My definition of "Spirituality" is that which gives essence or effervescence to each person's life. My work is my passion: helping individuals to honor their love, faith, spirituality and traditions in their life celebrations.
My studies include learning about the major faith traditions and major cultural traditions with mentors, leaders, professors, and friends from these traditions. I am familar with most traditions, including ethnic and Christian, Jewish, earth based, Hindu, and Buddhist, Muslim traditions. My skill at creating ceremonies that honor the traditions and customs of the individuals and their families lends to my life's vocation. I work and share with faith leaders of all traditions, and celebrate ceremonies alone or with others.
An experienced and clinically trained chaplain, I work in hospitals, colleges, hospices, funeral homes, and psychiatric/rehabilitation settings. My career as enabled me to work as the Director and Coordinators of Government, Local and Community Projects and initiatives as well, as in ministry, and I cherish working with children, adults and aging citizens in both individual and group settings. Additionally, my background includes work in multicultural education and counseling, criminal justice, At-risk youth, public relations, and social justice.
As a college teacher and wellness educator, it is a delight to teach courses on Creating and Conducting Rituals and Spiritual Tools for Health and Wholeness and impart my life-long wisdom to my students. Life offers many opportunities for celebrating "Blessings" in our midst and I really look forward to sharing your celebrations of life with you.

Giada's Yada's
The sunburned snowbirds on Ocean Drive.
Under a gorgeous sky. Big line to see...
Ahem. Kim and Dania pour sparkling liqueur Nuvo, my new favorite cocktail. "Nuvo is best served chilled over ice in a Champagne flute, to capture the essence of the Nuvo Experience." Go on...
Nazly and Pamela from Domo Japones.
Catch their 'Cocktails Anyone?' on Thursday night.
There's some cocktails involved, apparently, according to Shal ben-Ami ("The Operator"),
but I'm a little hazy on the details. I believe we spoke of cucumber foam, shiso-based Mojito's, and lighter fluid (that's what it says in my notes, anyway).
Wonder if they'll be serving Nuvo?

The fast-expanding Gulf airline, which competes with other regional giants Emirates and Qatar Airways, is looking to buy between 25 and 30 of the revamped "777X," they said.
In a vote of confidence for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, which has suffered a number of high-profile technical problems, Etihad may also increase its order for the lightweight passenger jet by as many as 30 aircraft, one of the sources said.
Boeing said interest was "high" for the revamped 777X but declined comment on individual negotiations. Etihad also declined comment.

John F. O'Reilly--Important 1930s Theatrical Photographer May 1, '10 5:25 AM
by David for group historicalziegfeld #304
The 1930s photographers who dominated Broadway--Alfredo Valente, Ben Pinchot, Florence Vandamm, G. M. Kesslere, Hal Phyfe--all were trained on large bellows cameras. There was one great photographer with a different background and a different aesthetic--John F. O'Reilly.
John F. "Jack" O'Reilly, Gray-O'Reilly Studio, 480 Lexington Ave., New York City. Trained as a news photographer for News-Mix in the 1920s, O'Reilly was the first important theatrical photographer to learn his craft on a portable Graflex camera. His journalistic background made the 'story' element of an image preeminently important. The other penchant he acquired was an improvisatory eye.
In the early 1930s he partnered with businessman James E. Gray to form Gray-O'Reilly Studio, a diversified image production firm. The studio became, with Alfredo Valente, the house photographers for Stage Magazine in the 1930s. While Valente did neo-classic style portraiture and well composed stage pictures, often in small format, O'Reilly savored odd angled production shots with edgy shadowing. His perpetual striving for impact in an image made him attractive to advertising agencies. By 1940 half of the studio's business was ad work.
His greatest talent may have been in creating unusual lighting effects, igniting banks of flash bulbs at once, or doing long exposure dark shots. In the later 1940s, with the birth of television, Gray-O'Reilly did some of the earliest commercials. O'Reilly's skill impressed the early TV executives, and he became one of the more active television film producers, maintaining a career into the early 1970s. David S. Shields

Our Story:
Tsiona, the founder of Tsiona Foods, began packaging Ethiopian gourmet foods in small batches from her restaurant kitchen in 2014. Her restaurant, Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant, conveniently located in the city of Rockville, Maryland, quickly became a favorite of the locals for its long-simmered flavorful ethiopian dishes, perfectly cooked with the best, and freshest ingredients, accented with authentic spices. Serving delicious and authentic Ethiopian food to her customers was both Tsiona's passion and inspiration when she ran Sheba Restaurant — and it remains so to this day.
Her deep rooted passion for culinary creativity and the enthusiasm of her customers, family and friends inspired her to reinvent the well known Ethiopian vegan stews in a dry form so that not just her restaurant clientele, but everyone, could enjoy the traditional Ethiopian cooking in the comfort of their own homes.
Never one to remain idle and wanting to share more of the Ethiopian food she grew up with and so loves, Tsiona added berbere blend sauces and injera chips — an Ethiopian spongy bread. The demand for Tsiona Foods quickly outgrew her restaurant kitchen and Tsiona Foods now operate out of a state licensed food processing facility in Rockville, however it still remains true to its humble beginnings by continuing to produce her foods in small batches using nothing but the finest authentic ingredients.

Assessment Matrix
Marking Guide (competency):
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is based on current industry needs and the focus on preparing you for the workplace. Because VET courses are informed by practical application of knowledge and skills, they are based on a system known as 'competency based training' (CBT). So when you are assessed in VET it is about whether you are competent to do the job, as well as having a firm grasp on the knowledge and skills required to do that job, as opposed to traditional curriculum based education settings that are often based on knowledge retention.
You need to demonstrate you are competent in each element of the unit of competency you are studying.
You will receive feedback on each assessment task that will inform you whether you are competent or not and how well you are performing. Once competent in all elements of the unit you receive a competency grading.
Please refer to the Final Grades table below.
Marking Guide (Grading)
After achieving competency we then grade your performance in the unit; this gives you the opportunity to have the level of your performance formally recognized against industry standards and employability skills.
Final Grades table:
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with Credit
CAG Competency Achieved – Graded
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit for assessment
Further information regarding the application of the grading criteria will be provided by your teacher.

Well another hunting season has come and gone with me once again tagging out. I suppose that I had to because I only had one week off for hunting season and that isn't too much time.
Anyway, I got both my deer in a very, very dramatic half hour of hunting. Probably the most fun that I had for a long while, but it was also a touch and go operation. Let me elaborate...
Well it all started out on a beautiful morning. It was about zero degrees and there was a slight Easterly wind blowing. I began the walk to my tree stand about half a kilometer away, not a far distance.
Then all of a sudden, as I was walking down the desolate road, I saw headlights heading towards me. Of course it was my Uncle Ray, a hunting genius. He told me he saw thirty deer in a field further down our road, so I hopped in the back of his truck and he dropped me off at the field entrance. I got out and started stalking down the deer that were 600 yards or more away.
Now I crept behind the hills and used the terrain to my advantage as I tried to get close to the deer. Now I literally had to get right up to the deer because I was using a World War One vintage gun, a 1916 Lee Enfield (maybe you read about her earlier...). Now it has no scope because I couldn't bring myself to damage that beautiful gun, it has to remain a classic. Anyway, as I was saying...
I was creeping up on the animals (now there weren't thirty, more like ten) and then I saw them, three bucks fighting. An odd sight to see at the least, but I was determined to shoot one. I got down on my belly and began crawling towards them, inch by agonizing inch.
All of the sudden the wind picked up and the oil on my gun must have stank something horrible because they began to run off in a hurry when I was still 200 yards off. My heart sank with every step away they took.
Then hope sprung anew, a fawn was still left behind. I clenched my teeth and began the stalk again, determination flowing through my veins.
Then the fawn jerked its head up and stared at me, tail raising slowly. I fumbled for my grunt call and sounded it a few times, hoping to settle the fawn down. Much to my luck it began walking slowly but surely towards me, a wonderful set-up.
As I stared at the deer through my open sights a black blob caught my eye to my left. A moose! Now I had seen the moose the day earlier and it had a calf with her, but this time there was no baby. Thoughts of me sitting between her and her calf raced through my mind and I began to glance behind me, making sure a smaller moose wasn't behind me. The moose veered off and once again it was just me and the fawn.
The fawn now was facing me straight on at a further distance then what I wanted. I waited for him to turn broadside so I could pull the trigger and snuff it out. Then I felt the warm sensation of snot running down my nose and over my lips but I knew that I couldn't make any movement to wipe. I clamped my mouth shut and took aim for the deer as I said I silent prayer. The deer turned broadside and I squeezed off the shot.
SMACK-BOOOOM!!! The deer leapt like a bucking bronco and took off towards the Murder Bush (long story made short: A family was murdered there and it is very thick with willows and spooky). I flung my glove across my nose and worked the bolt all in one fluid motion, took aim and fired again... and again, and again, and again. To my utter disbelieve all of these shots missed except the first shot. As my heart hit my guts the deer stopped, looked around and then layed down as if it was going to sleep. My jaw dropped because ten more yards more and it would have been in a incredibly thick bush with no snow to try to track it. I decided to play it safe and try to circle the deer so if it did get up I could scare it away from the bush and open up on it again.
I eventually got more or less behind it and walked towards it with the caution of a police approaching a downed criminal. I quickly realized the deer was down for the count and put down my gun to tag the thing.
As I was preparing to tag the animals ear I heard a sound from behind once again. I immediately thought it was momma moose out for me again and I spun around will crouching into a fetal position. Again my jaw dropped as I saw it was a second fawn staring at my knife in my hand and the blood stained clothes I was wearing. I slowly picked up my gun again and lifted the barrel in the direction of the fawn, finger gently resting on the trigger. The deer spooked and ran behind a tree, poking its head out once in a while to eye me up. I whipped out my grunt call in an "Ah-ha!" moment and blew its majestic tune in the direction of the deer. It walked out again, standing perfectly broadside and just begging for me to pull the trigger. Never one to disappoint, I did what he asked.
THACK-BOOOOM!!! The bullet struck true and the deer stumbled as it took off running down the hill. I could clearly see that it had wounded the deer because its front leg wasn't moving with the other three. I racked another round into the chamber and hastily fired off a second shot and the deer dropped to the ground, flopping like a fish out of water. I turned back to finish tagging my first fawn and then scampered over to the second one to tag him too. I then ran off to the road and flagged down my uncle, hopping around like a toad on drugs. We raced over to the deer and grabbed them, brought them home and gutted them out. All in all an eventful morning. And since both of them had little stubby antlers (legally short enough to throw an antlerless tag on it). So I guess you could say I got payed for my work (two bucks, get it?......bad pun I know, but work with me here!).

text: MISHAWAKA -- Pain is a constant companion, except for the toes he can't feel at all, but Robert Campbell won't allow it to dictate his life. It's 6 a.m. -- today, every day since Feb. 6 -- and Campbell's alarm sounds. First priority is to choke down seven pills, then chomp down on a rubber ball to muffle the screams. "Imagine somebody doing an Indian burn on your spine," Campbell described of the first 30 minutes, before the medication kicks in. "I've ripped through one ball with my teeth already -- and those are pretty hard balls." Three years ago, Campbell was an exceptional athlete apparently destined to do great things as a running back with the Penn High School football team. "He had a bright future for us," Penn football coach Cory Yeoman said of his 6-foot, 170-pound prospect. "He had some skills and he was a great kid. "Life just dealt him a bad hand." Campbell, now a senior at Penn, had his malady start at the end of his freshman year. After conditioning drills for football, as the track season (Campbell was a sprinter) was winding down, he noticed something strange with his heart. After a hard workout, his heart rate didn't slow down for several minutes. His sophomore year, which he spent on the JV football team, his heart was monitored. Finally, in the summer between his sophomore and junior years, it was determined medication would solve the problem. It was Aug. 1, 2005, the day before two-a-day practices started Campbell's junior year -- when he appeared destined to claim his spot as a running back on the Kingsmen varsity. While on his way to his upstairs bedroom at home to go to sleep, Campbell had a reaction to the medication and passed out. He fell down the stairs, injuring his neck and the L-4 lumbar vertebrae (in the lower back). "Football saved my life," Campbell said. "If I hadn't been as strong in my neck and my back, I could have been killed." He was paralyzed, though. For a time, he had no use of his hands or legs. "I remember how scared I was, I couldn't imagine what Robert was going through," said Yeoman. "Coach Cory cried when he heard about the accident," Robert's mother Patti Campbell said. "That's the kind of compassionate man he is." "(Doctors) told me I'd never walk again," Campbell said. "I'm normally an optimistic guy, but you can't help but start asking, 'why me?'." Slowly, feeling and strength returned to Campbell's extremities. Walking, even a couple steps, was an exhausting labor. When he left the hospital, it was in a wheelchair. Time went on and progress was somewhere between slow and nonexistent. That's when Campbell was taken to Indianapolis for an examination. "Right away, they found that I had a spinal stroke," Campbell said. "I guess I was relieved and disappointed at the same time." He was relieved that there was finally a diagnosis, and disappointed that it was something that serious. Campbell said he also found out his heart problem was genetic and no medication would have corrected it. A spinal stroke happens when bleeding in the spine clots, nerves are pinched and the connection dies. Nerves try to find a new path to connect, but it's an unpredictable process. Campbell took the diagnosis and his weakened legs to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. From just before Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, 33 days, Campbell worked hard. Patti and Ron, Robert's parents, drove to Chicago every day while he stayed there. "The younger kids at the RIC loved Robert," Patti said. "In fact, he was the one who held our family together. I'd leave the room, go to an alley behind State Street and bawl, while he'd be in there saying we were going to get through this thing." "Being home for Christmas was the best Christmas I ever had," said Robert, who had made significant progress. As his parents were fitting him for a permanent wheelchair, Robert relented. Progress continued while at McDonald's Physical Therapy in South Bend, working especially with physical therapist Mike Keresztes. Instead of the chair, Robert wanted a cane. The athlete, who represented Penn's football team as a captain last season, never gave up on the idea of walking. He got to the point where he could maneuver quite well. Then came Feb. 6, 2007. "When I woke up, the pain was excruciating," said Robert, who now takes at least 30 pills a day to manage the pain and other problems. "Every day since then, it's been the same. Doctors don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. "There were times I've hated to go to bed because I know what it's going to feel like in the morning. On a scale of 1-10, it's a 10. "There was depression. The new pain was the biggest blow because I had made so much progress. It made me feel like I was failing myself. There were times when I didn't care anymore. I had done all that work for nothing." While the pain's managed by gnawed-on rubber balls and pills, Robert's life is coming into focus. He walks gingerly with a cane. People stare at this strapping young man as he labors with every step. An honor student before all this, Robert has got his academics in order where he can graduate on time. The next step is Indiana University South Bend to pursue a degree in a familiar area -- physical therapy. A recent honor from the Mishawaka Optimist Club put a happy ending on a terrible ordeal. "No one knows how much that honor means to me," Robert said. "I've worked so hard and so many people have helped me along the way. "I just want to be normal again. I want to walk down the street and not have everyone look at me. Nothing scares me now. Everyone has pain they have to deal with. I've got my priorities straight. I want to make the most of my life."

SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Tuesday said the resolution of Kashmir is must for everlasting peace in not only the subcontinent but in the entire South Asia. The amalgam said the bloodshed will continue in the region and innocent people will continue to lose their precious lives as long as the dispute is alive.
"The people of Kashmir are fighting for a genuine and sacred cause for the last seven decades and have been offering priceless sacrifices in terms of life and property, a spokesperson of the amalgam said in a statement. "The people of Kashmir have been facing all the tough forms of atrocities at the hands of lakhs of forces present in the region, who have broken all records of worst form of human rights violations."
He also paid glowing tributes to slain militants, saying, "The sacrifices offered by youth are the priceless assets for the ongoing freedom movement and it was because of the lingering Kashmir issue that the region is witnessing bloodshed each passing day."
The spokesperson said Kashmir issue continues to remain as a nuclear flashpoint between India and Pakistan for the last several decades and it is high time to resolve the issue as per either through implementation of UN resolutions or through tripartite dialogue with the involvement of all the stakeholders.
He said it is the responsibility of the world community to play its part and build pressure on New Delhi to shun its "stubborn and rigid approach" and force it to accept the ground realities in Kashmir. He said resolution of Kashmir issue was inevitable so that peace prevails in the region and loss of human lives and property saved.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson strongly condemned the cordon and search operations in villages and door to door searches terming it as highhandedness of forces which is causing a great inconvenience to people. "Forces in Kashmir have been given a free licence to carry search or any operation at their will no matter how problematic it turns for the common people," he said.

The devil's in the details
It may sound like a really simple concept but one which apparently eludes most marketers, why? It might just be that ensuring consistent branding isn't easy considering all the minute details you have to pay attention to, or just a perception that certain functions are only meant to achieve the 'functionality' objective. I was talking to a brand consultant earlier today and he mentioned in passing that it was odd how many companies fork out huge sums of money to release a polished and sleek commercial which makes them look really good to customers. But when customers call into the company's call centre or dial in to complete a telephone banking transaction, their idea and expectation of the brand (no doubt brought on by that nice commercial), and the reality of what they discover on the other end of the line can provoke a huge disappointment. "And that's where the disconnect happens," says the brand consultant. "What's the use of spending so much money on the TV commercial then?"
The brand consultant also said marketers need to be cognisant of the changing environment around them, and to change with it. A phone banking system that's five-years-old isn't going to cut it with customers anymore -- many marketers probably only have the time to make sure that they have a system, but then don't do anything to it or forget about it after some time. Is that still the right way of interacting with customers, can you 'update' the voice on the other end, put in some new music perhaps? Simplify and make the technology easier? Maybe marketers need to get out of the thinking mode where they think a function, like the company delivery guys, merely serve as a functionality when in fact, they're are at the 'frontline' of your brand and have a strong influence on the image projected to customers. It's a difficult situation: marketers are sometimes placed in a situation where they just have to get in there and do it, while these branding improvements take time to carry out and more often than not, is a long term effort. When there is space and time to take care of these areas though, I'll bet it'll pay off putting in place training programs for staff and ensuring all other consumer interactions are consistent with the overall branding, because having a keen eye for detail in your branding can be the key to what makes you stand out from your next competitor.

Hi Clarice,
Easier said than done. Its easy for arm chair warriors like Branding consultants to quote far-fetched theories of Aaker, Scott M Davis, or Michael Porter, whose thoughts are mainly that of post-rationalising stories of organizations which have a good brand.
- Clarice said...
Thanks for your comment MGL, I agree with you that it's easier for consultants to comment from afar when they're not in the thick of it, as marketers are.
However, and I'm just thinking out loud here, while the theories may be far-fetched, wouldn't marketers would be able to take a little something away from those theories? After all, they originated from the author's observations of a real-life organisation. Also, I do know of branding agencies who have been engaged by companies to implement brand consistency measures, so it is an achievable task, with a little help. But I'm no branding expert and these are just my thoughts on the matter.What are your/any other marketer's thoughts? What's the reality here, is it really a case of easier said than done, mainly because marketers have to deal with the nitty gritty of the job and have no time for the conceptual stuff? In which case it can be done, with some help?
- Geeta said...
The consultants observations are indeed valid and we have seen many great organisations live upto being "marketing centered". This orientation has to be adopted as a core value that every single employee in the organisation needs to live upto, specially the bean counters who are more wall street savvy rather than customer focused and consider marketing expenditure as a revenue outflow rather than an investment.
- Morpheus said...
Brand consultants is the latest pandemic to hit mankind in the last few decades. How frivolous the word consultant is used. Do not get me wrong, but I salute the real macoys, and consultants are needed in our less than perfect world. The branding message has to be consistent top down, the marketers conceptualise, recommend and implement, but who does follow-ups and policing? The success of the product/service is up to the whole company and not only one function. Perhaps because Mr Marketer was not Mr Police therefore consultant friend's horrifying experience. Money might be wasted, but isn't that wonderful? Brand consultants will just have to endure more work and more money!
- germyong said...
>> Asians are generally not so focus on marketing efforts as compared to sales efforts. In addition, Asians are not so open to changes (which are needed in the whole Branding exercise) What takes 6mths to fine-tune, might need 1yr-2yr due to the lack of focus & resistence to changes.
>> Brand is not just an image (like what you mentioned in your example. The moment the call is made - touchpoint - that is the moment of truth.
>> Most importantly, marketers can initiate a Branding exercise, but they should not be the one leading it. Branding is a strategic planning, which should be lead by the management team. Without unanimous support from the management team, the start point of internal brand communications would already be a great challenge. Read somewhere, branding should start from the boardroom, which I fully agree.
>> Consultant once mentioned, 'What we want to be?' question for the boardroom, is branding, and strategic planning.. 'How we want to get there?' is brand positioning, and tactical, for marketers.
Please share with me your opinions. I wish to learn.
- KOOKY said...
I think brand consultants act as what they are supposed to do, as consultants to marketeers; as often marketeers being in the thick of the action may not see the whole picture. More often marketeers are product-driven, while branding consultants are consumer-driven. I think the two roles should co-exist.
- global_trends said...
Why is it that marketers in Asia stick to the usual play safe campaigns ? The free box of tissues is becoming boring and they need to think of new exciting ways to engage and stimulate customers - how else to develop cusotmer loyalty ?
Come on Asia, you can open your eyes for a start and see the trends in maturer markets, and guess what, you'll be doing something different.
I'm shocked by an industry full of well qualified "old school techniques need only apply" managers and strategists.
Wake up and smell the coffee !
- oldPRhand said...
Might I add that it's not the marketers that is the problem but the organisation? Marketeers know their jobs and most of them know about 360 degree branding but it's a problem of getting the entire organisation to buy in.
How many time have we marketeers heard this from our non-marketing colleagues "Is this a marketing or business activity? If it's a business activity, I will do it. But if it is a marketing one ..."
Sadly without top management buy-in and enforcement, there will be no buy-in from the rest of the organisation. The Marketing department doesn't have that much influence over how the rest of the company runs itself. So certainly we will continue to pay for that expensive slick commercials and certainly the other customer interaction will continue to be hit-and-miss.
- wrightstuff said...
My experience (having been both sides of this equation) is that marketing people generally do not have the authority to enforce changes outside the marketing department.
Getting other departments to take the brand experience seriously is notoriously difficult, and the increasing tendency to maginalise marketing as "marcoms" (i.e.: no real input into business decision-making) contributes to this.
This is why most brand consultants try to deal at MD/CEO level. While it can sideline marketing departments in some cases, the consultant and marketing team, by working together, can get the message across, if the senior management team is co-opted early on.
So, it can be done, but no one said it would be easy!

Why 'everyone else' should take the morality pill?
At first thought, a morality pill seems to be the urgent need of the hour. Until you dig a little bit deeper.
The irony—those who support the idea want to give it to someone else.
The CBC show on the ethics of the morality pill prompted me to ask a few people about their feelings on the subject. Interestingly, no one admitted to needing one but most knew someone else that required to change, morally of course.
While one person immediately offered her mother-in-law as the perfect test case, another was sure his boss (and naturally the staff too) would benefit from a few doses. Just till the pangs of good conscience coerced him into signing a salary increase perhaps.
A third wanted to give it to a relative involved in a property dispute with her. How convenient?
And a fourth was sure that politicians would make the ideal candidates. A view many would support.
It does not take any in depth analysis to figure out that in most cases, these individuals would gain from the enhanced moral goodness of the candidate they had served up. Morality at its finest!!!
So is the hypothetical morality pill meant to be a prescription to cure someone else's selfishness, corruption and immoral behaviour? Or, a self-regulated antidote that we might occasionally need to keep our own values in check?
Psychologists maintain that this moral outrage, which most of us have an overdose of, is self-serving. Outwardly protesting injustice makes 'you' feel that you are a good person…like the expression is doing something to correct a wrong. Making you feel less guilty about your role in the problem or neglecting to be part of the solution.
Researchers believe this is especially true in the case of abstract situations like the effects of climate change 20 years from now. Or the poverty in third world countries we are not exposed to. Or the homeless in our cities that we have never seen. All of which seems less real to us and therefore difficult to empathize with.
Some individuals I talked to also believed that taking the pill might make them "too good" (Is there such a thing?) and would not serve their 'best interests'. After all nobody wants to be taken advantage of. Whether it is increasing their donations to a religious institution or being more accommodating with someone they didn't like. The giving in is difficult.
Would I take the morality pill? No! That's because I would not ingest any medication if I could avoid it. Call it the side-effect or action-reaction phobia. If you have ever taken the time to read warnings on any medication, then you know what I mean. Often it seems that the adverse effects far outweigh any good it could do.
As experts who raise questions about the ethics of having or administering such thought-altering medication rightly say, the motives of the pharmaceutical companies that produce them are rarely altruistic.
I also believe that taking the morality pill would be a dehumanizing experience. Take away our ability to think and react naturally which is a true reflection of morality.
We have become a medication-dependent society where there is a pill to fix everything. Even situations where common sense would suffice. Like taking beta blockers to reduce anxiety before an exam or board presentation.
Call me old-school or medically ignorant for simplifying the argument. But I strongly support the philosophy of going back to the basics. Which relies on self-regulation not medication. Except when deemed medically life threatening.
Also, I don't like to be controlled in thought or action. By pill or person. I have seen the effects of anti-depressants which some see as the stepping stones to the morality pill.
Two friends who took them after rather devastating events in their lives experienced serious mood swings. The highs were too loud, verbose and unbecoming. I almost suggested taking a sedative to calm them down. Except it meant another pill. The lows were frightening and getting off the pills was a whole different nightmare. Withdrawal symptoms aside, the anxiety of having to cope without the pill brought into question the whole issue of dependence.
Then there are concerns about the interpretation of morality and how this could affect the outcome. This really surprised me. Since when is morality a grey area?
For instance, cheating on your partner or your taxes are both wrong. This is not open to interpretation, degrees of goodness or badness. Perhaps I need a dose of the new morality?
They say that this moral subjectivity could also raise a volcano of ethical dilemmas. Like should we celebrate or rethink physician-assisted suicide?
One area where most agree the morality pill would be beneficial is in eradicating anti-social and criminal behaviour.
Worry not ! The morality pill is not coming anytime soon. So you don't have to think about who to give it to.
In the meanwhile we can use our subjective, divisive and self-serving moral yardsticks to judge everyone but our perfect selves.

Canadian yogawear chain Lululemon Athletica Inc reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit, helped by higher online sales, sending its shares up about 12 percent premarket.
For more than a year, Lululemon has worked to smooth out quality and supply-chain issues, battle lawsuits, deal with departing executives and soothe customer sentiments following a high-profile recall of yoga pants deemed transparent and founder Chip Wilson's controversial comments.
Continue Reading Below
The company, which cut its expectations in June, marginally raised its full-year earnings forecast on Thursday.
Lululemon said it now expected full-year adjusted earnings of $1.72-$1.77 per share, up from $1.71-$1.76. The company also increased the lower end of its revenue forecast to $1.78 billion from $1.77 billion.
Analysts on average were expecting full-year earnings of $1.74 per share on revenue of $1.78 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company's net income fell to $48.7 million, or 33 cents per share, in the second quarter ended Aug. 3, from $56.5 million, or 39 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose about 13 percent to $390.7 million.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 29 cents per share on revenue of $376.8 million.
Total comparable sales, which includes comparable store sales and direct to consumer, remained flat during the quarter on a constant-dollar basis. Comparable store sales decreased 5 percent.
Direct-to-consumer revenue, which includes online and catalog sales, rose 30 percent in the quarter to $63.5 million, the company said.
Shares of the Vancouver-based retailer closed at $38.39 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday. They had fallen more than 40 percent since March 2013, when the company announced a recall of its transparent yoga pants.

Heart Palpitations
Your medications may need to be changed or the dose reduced.
Of the heart medications, digoxin is the most dangerous if the levels get too high. If your take digoxin, call your doctor now for advice. Don't take another dose until you have talked with your doctor.
For other medications that slow the heart rate, a heart rate slightly less than 50 is probably okay as long as you feel fine. However, because your pulse is both slow and irregular, you should call your doctor's office for advice. Your doctor may want to adjust your medications or request that you go for an EKG.

Arizona Immigration Law Court Battle Begins
Narco-Terrorist/Insurgents Go Home
Dear D'ohBama: Return to your hoome of record, Kenya.
Obama? We don't need any of your abortion voter replacement zeros.
The judge has said she wasn't making any promises on whether she would make those rulings before the law takes effect on July 29.
The law requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to check a person's immigration status if there's a reasonable suspicion that the person is here illegally. It also bans people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day-labor services on streets and prohibits illegal immigrants from soliciting work in public places.
Since Gov. Jan Brewer signed the measure into law on April 23, it has inspired rallies in Arizona and elsewhere by advocates on both sides of the immigration debate. Some opponents have advocated a tourism boycott of Arizona.
Yes, and the Arizona BUYCOTT is trouncing the alleged boycotts.
These two morons have no idea what the "Supremecy Clause" states by the actual United States Constitution. Period.

BOTH rival coaches reckon the Boxing Day Heavy Woollen derby will be an opportunity to assess how well pre-season has gone so far.
Dewsbury Rams have home advantage against Batley Bulldogs in the traditional fixture (noon), which comes more than five weeks before the Championship's opening round.
"It's a game, it's a local derby and we are going to go out and try and win it," Rams boss Neil Kelly stressed.
"Pre-season has been going really well so far, but – like everyone else – you don't really know until you play a game.
"From that respect, I am looking forward to the game – to see where we are with four or five weeks of pre-season still to go through."
Kelly reckons Tuesday's clash will give him an idea of what Rams need to work on before their tough league opener at home to Sheffield Eagles on Friday, February 2.
"If there are any glaring deficiencies in the squad, physically or technically, it is not too late to sort them out," he said.
Of his team for next week, he confirmed: "I am hoping to play all the squad, apart from Billy Hayes who we've signed from Huddersfield.
"He has had a shoulder operation; he has been signed off, but this game is probably two weeks too early for him.
"Everyone else is up for selection and I hope to play them at some stage in the game."
Rival Matt Diskin said "everyone who's fit" will get a game for Batley, starting with his strongest-available lineup and keeping changes to a minimum.
"We're looking forward to it," said the coach, whose side begin their Championship campaign at Rochdale on February 4.
"It's chance to blow some cobwebs off and see where we are and what we need to improve. It'll give us a marker for the remaining month of pre-season."
Diskin described preparations so far as "good".
He said: "We have hit the ground running and we're looking quite sharp. We are in a lot better position than we were at this time last year.
"The new guys have come in and given us genuine competition for places."

Speaker information
Dr Jacky Moore, Canterbury Christ Church University, Jacky Moore has recently been awarded a PhD for her thesis on the women of the Nuu'Chah'Nulth, the research for which was carried out while a part-time student at Canterbury Christ Church University from 2008 to 2013. She previously obtained a BA (Hons) degree in American Studies at Canterbury, also as a part-time student, graduating with First Class honours in July 2007. Before returning to study in 2001, Jacky had a long career in primary school teaching, both as a classroom teacher and as a subject adviser for Maths and Geography. Her earlier qualifications included Certificate of Education in 1969, a BA in Education with the Open University in 1989, and an MA in Primary Education from the University of Greenwich in 1994.
This presentation considers the complex lives lived by First Nation women through the words of one particular group, the Nuu'Chah'Nulth, who live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Within an historical framework covering two hundred years from the arrival of Captain Cook in Nootka Sound on the west-coast of Vancouver Island in 1778 to the present day, it explores the stories recounted by these women, how stories have shaped their lives, stories silenced by the colonial context under which they grew up.
Women are central to this presentation: their lived experiences, their role in the communities, and the rich co-existence of Nuu'Chah'Nulth women with each other and the land that surrounds them, and the need to uncover First Nation women's history and traditional culture from obscurity.

Once upon a time in Europe, men used long poles to get
themselves across water-filled canals without getting wet.
Somehow, over the past few centuries, that mode of
transportation turned into a track and field sport. And a thrilling
one, at that.
Once upon a time in Europe, men used long poles to get themselves across water-filled canals without getting wet.
Somehow, over the past few centuries, that mode of transportation turned into a track and field sport. And a thrilling one, at that.
For a lot of track and field athletes, the rush of adrenaline they get from the anticipation of a big race, the sound of the starting gun going off and finally, the actual race around the track, is enough.
But not for pole vaulters. That doesn't quite get them going. Apparently, they need some element of danger to really get their blood flowing.
These guys and girls seem to crave something more, or at least that's how state-qualifying vaulter Todd Merrigan from San Benito High put it.
"I don't like the other events because they don't have the same rush," said Merrigan after the CCS finals on Friday. "You crave it."
It certainly takes a fearless attitude to be a pole vaulter. Merrigan said it doesn't hurt to like to be a bit of a show-off either.
There are plenty of risky sports that require such a "no fear" attitude. The thing is, many of them can be learned at a young age, when fearlessness is still second nature. Gymnastics and skateboarding are two that come to mind. Those sports are easier to do at an older age when you've mastered them while still young.
But pole vaulting is different. It requires strength and coordination that young kids just don't have. So many vaulters, like Merrigan, don't start until high school, which means they pretty much just have ignore the fear and go for it. If you don't want to do that, well, you can stick to high jump. And I mean that with no disrespect to the jumpers.
Personally, there's no way you would get me try pole vaulting. At first, I thought it might be cool. But then I watched Merrigan and another CCS finalist on two separate tries vault themselves up – and nearly fall right back down onto the hard track because they didn't get enough momentum going. Merrigan had the mental and physical presence to lean on his pole and push himself over to the landing pit.
When that happened, Merrigan said he thought he "was gonna die."
On the other hand, Merrigan's competitor kind of freaked out and clung to his pole for dear life before (thankfully) landing on the edge of the mat. Despite being visibly shaken, the kid went back for several attempts, as did Merrigan, which is probably the best example of the kind of guts this event requires.
The pole vault also seems to be becoming a fan favorite. Some of the loudest cheers at the CCS meet were for the vaulters. Plus, the competition can last for an hour or so, which makes it more fan-friendly than say, sprinting events, which can be over in a matter of seconds. Pole vaulting builds drama, which always makes for a successful sporting event.
The only beef I have with pole vault, at least in California at the high school level, is that the California Interscholastic Federation doesn't require participants to wear helmets. I know, helmets might take away style points, but I think they're necessary.
Baseball and softball players have to wear helmets and it seems a pole vaulter could sustain just as serious an injury – if not worse – without a helmet. Many college vaulters already wear them.
Other than that, I can't wait to see the pole vault at this weekend's state meet begin.

A conviction related to theft crimes can result in a long-term jail sentence. Having a theft crime on your record could also ruin your career prospects and prevent you from getting a job.
At the Law Offices of Stephen C. Brown, we know that the wrong persons are often accused of theft crimes that they did not commit. We also know that everyone is human and we sometimes make mistakes. Whether you are innocent or guilty of committing a theft crime, we will represent you aggressively and strategically with the goal of minimizing and/or eliminating the threat of conviction and punishments in your criminal law proceedings.
A criminal defense is always a balance between the impossibility of knowing for certain will happen at trial, and trying to predict what will probably happen given the unique facts of a particular case. For example, one must decide if it is more appropriate to defend oneself against the allegations and try to obtain a verdict of not guilty, or if it is wiser to plead guilty in exchange for a reduction in punishments. In order to make a decision like this, it is vital to have detailed understanding of the law, potential punishments and how they apply to their cases.
We believe that educating our clients about New Hampshire law and their legal options before them is one the most important components of any theft crimes defense. Meanwhile, providing clients with a judgment free zone in which to discuss their cases is also important. Educated clients, who feel comfortable discussing their options with their attorneys, are much more capable of making the most appropriate legal decisions for themselves. They will also feel better about those decisions later on down the road.

These 'misunderstandings' need to stop...
Olive Garden is apologizing for refusing to allow an 80-year-old Kiwanis Club member to display the
U.S. flag at an
Alabama restaurant.
The Kiwanis Club in the east
Alabama city of
Oxford had planned a banquet, but Marti Warren, of
Anniston, said she wasn't allowed to bring the flag or a banner into the building.
Warren, in a Fox News interview, said, "This is not my country. This is not my country I grew up with."
Warren, a former educator, told Fox she was outraged. "I was so angry. I felt like I had been slapped in the face."
Oxford is located 90 miles west of
Atlanta on I-20.
Management at the restaurant refused to answer questions concerning the incident, such as the size of the flag.
A media contact would not answer specific questions either, but did issue an apology via email.
"We are very sorry for any misunderstanding about this issue. We do not have a policy at Olive Garden concerning bringing the American flag into our restaurants. Some members of our team were misinformed about company policy by our corporate office. As a company we take responsibility for that and we regret it. We take pride in how we communicate to our restaurants and we are correcting this so it doesn't happen again. Like all Americans we have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the American flag and everything it symbolizes, and we welcome anyone who wishes to bring the flag into our restaurants. In fact, we periodically provide American flag collar pins to our employees to wear while serving guests."

10% OFF at Local menswear store – Westdaw
So here we go again and, to be frank, my mind boggles. Why should any civil servant or minister want to consult on changes to the MOT testing schedule which will have negative connotations for safety?
This was debated, and successfully challenged, in the UK back in 2011! I would have thought there were far more important issues to be concerning our legislative currently.
Taxi/hire cars, in most cases, require two MOTs annually, and it is proposed that the status quo remains for LCVs. So what is different for privately-owned cars (often used for school runs) and fleet passenger cars covering significant mileage in a short space of time?
It can only be assumed that the consultation instigators recognise that LCVs and taxis do many miles above the average of a private vehicle, but currently there isn't a way of tracking the mileage of private cars and other Class 4 vehicles.
This could also be said for motorcycles, many of which are used for courier work. Mileage tracking prior to the first MOT is easily achieved by introducing a mandatory mileage field at car tax renewal which would be the perfect platform for integrity-based mileage information.
The benefit this would deliver is that mileage correction (clocking) would become increasingly difficult. In the previous round of communications it was clear that Europe featured heavily and those discussions were centered on the UK being brought into line with European common practice. Yet still, at least as I am aware, I have not seen any consideration being made for the distance a vehicle has traveled.
Given a lesser state of road-worthiness is a consequence of more miles driven, it can only be assumed there is a lack of understanding by those still wishing to consult outside of our industry.
Every MOT tester in the country can share a vehicle failure story bordering on unbelievable!
My business is based in what most would term as an 'affluent' area. Yet often we have cars presented to us with dreadful safety related defects – and our clients are completely unaware, even shocked, when the realisation of what could have happened hits home if it were not for the MOT test being carried out in a timely manner.
As I have written previously in this magazine, the MOT scheme is in need of overhaul and mileage should be at the top of the list in any considered change – particularly as service intervals are extended with the reality of less frequent workshop visits. MOT Comp has been an outstanding success; the DVSA and consulted bodies such as the IMI are to be congratulated.
In achieving this it should be acknowledged that there has been a slow cost transfer from what was VOSA (now DVSA) to the MOT test centre – computer terminals, printers, printer consumables including paper and ink cartridges being some of the expenses now borne by the entrees. These are not a life changing expenses but, nonetheless, it is a cost. Every business in the UK is facing significant increases in operating costs, rent reviews, business rates and the introduction of mandatory pension contributions for staff – not forgetting salary increase pressures too. Is it that time again when the long overdue fee increase is announced? The scrappage scheme removed many vehicles from the MOT test centre market, and a further decline in vehicle throughput, for whatever reason, will be most unwelcome! Every garage proprietor operating a business in the UK, particularly the South East of England, will testify that their operational viability is under extreme pressure. Is it any wonder we see retirement sales with valued, long-established local garages being closed and redeveloped. For motorists, vehicle occupants, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users, safety must be at the forefront of any decision to change the testing framework.
If you couple this with motor trade professionals potentially losing their jobs and the resultant decline in government tax receipts, the change being considered is flawed and unnecessary, and which could lead to another government burden! Let's hope common sense will prevail once more and, whatever the permutation, be it 4-2-2, 4-1-1, or even 3-2-1 – let's hope they are all consigned to the late Ted Rogers' Dusty Bin!
Celebs really do know how to spend that cash!

On Tuesday 2nd December between 1.30pm and 4.30pm a house on Greengate Lane (close to Woodgate Drive) was broken into. Entry was by forcing the garden gate and then forcing the rear door of the house. There was an untidy search made of the property but at this time it is not known if anything was taken.
Were you in this area around these times, did you see or hear anything suspicious ? Please report any information by dialling 101, the police non-emergency number.
