What is Zero Waste?
At it's most basic a Zero Waste approach is about reducing the amount of stuff that we send to landfill or incinerators, until that amount is zero. In turn it is about redesigning toxic-free products for longevity. Zero Waste in a wider context is about much more. It is about combating climate change, corruption and environmental justice. It is about recognising wasteful situations, questioning proposed solutions and highlighting real solutions provided by Zero Waste initiatives. The main principles of the Zero Waste movement were set by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWAI)...
'Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use.
Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them.
Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health'

Wonder Woman is still three months away from its theatrical release, and while sources involved with the filming have had disparaging remarks about the upcoming live action film, fans are still hoping those naysayers are speaking out of turn. In fact, Wonder Woman anticipation may be higher than ever, as new teaser posters and a new video trailer drive up interest in the soon-to-be-released DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. film. Even before those offerings enticed fans with their first glimpses of Diana Prince's debut on the big screen, star Gal Gadot and her dreamy ambitions for giving young girls a strong role model has inspired fans worldwide. The actress may ultimately do more to drive up ticket sales than any promotional material Wonder Woman bosses can devise.
A New Wonder Woman Trailer Features Gal Gadot As The Iconic Diana Prince
Repost from @gal_gadot: Believe in Wonder ✨ Here it is, the new poster for #WonderWoman!
A post shared by Wonder Woman (@wonderwomanfilm) on
Audiences at the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards were among the first to see the new two-minute-30-second Wonder Woman trailer, and as Deadline reports, the latest look at the Gal Gadot-fueled film goes a long way toward showing fans what to expect. It has been known that Wonder Woman will be part origin story, but the new trailer reveals a story that begins with a very young Diana Prince and shares her training and the struggle of her early years among the Amazonian women on Themyscira.
"I am Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta. In the name of all that is good, your wrath upon this world is over," Gadot said, while introducing the Wonder Woman trailer below:
While one of the elders tells Diana that she's not destined to be the world's savior, the young Ms. Prince defies that edict and strives to become the best warrior she can be, proving early on in the film that we are not defined by the opinions of others. Once Gal Gadot takes over the role, playing a fully matured Diana Prince, the character ultimately meets Chris Pine's Steve Trevor and evolves further, fully becoming Wonder Woman.
The new Wonder Woman trailer shows Diana Prince's softer side, aided by Gadot's talent for comedic timing, as she attempts to adjust to life away from the island. She finds London displeasing and mismanages her sword, as she attempts to move through revolving doors and among people on the streets.
Gal excels as a warrior as well, jumping into the fray of battle in this Wonder Woman trailer with the ferocity of a suddenly uncaged beast. Brandishing her sword in one hand and her shield in the other, Wonder Woman takes the offensive without a moment's hesitation.
Gal Gadot Reveals Why Wonder Woman Is The Perfect Hero For Our Times
Repost from @gal_gadot: Celebrate the real-life wonder women in your life this #InternationalWomensDay! Post a photo or story using the tag #MyWonderWoman and your photo might be shared here ???? #WonderWoman
A post shared by Wonder Woman (@wonderwomanfilm) on
Wonder Woman has had a long history in comic books and on television in animated shows and the Lynda Carter live action series, but in her 78-year existence, this will be the first time Diana Prince will be brought to life on the big screen. Hindustan Times reports that Gal Gadot, the Wonder Woman star herself, feels the timing of this adaptation isn't just coincidence. Gal suggests the time has never been more right for Diana Prince to step up and bring equality to the superhero boy's club.
"First of all, she (Wonder Woman) doesn't see that difference between any gender. It's not even an issue," explains Gadot. "She comes from this world where men and women are equal and it's not a thing to be a man or to be a woman. She feels that she can do everything and she will go for it."
Gal adds that her character is Diana Prince, a peacekeeper and a diplomat, before she unleashes her warrior and takes the fight to another level as Wonder Woman. Ms. Gadot says she feels Diana's preference for peace is a beautiful aspect of the story, and for that reason in particular, she feels Wonder Woman is a great role model for all children and teens.
Wonder Woman will hit theaters on June 2.

Rockliffe Hotel
Client: Rockliffe Hotel
Skills: IPECS solution
IPECS Site Study – 5 Star Hotel Distributed Architecture
Rockliffe Hotel chooses an IPECS solution to overcome its infrastructure limitations and reduce deployment disruption
The Challenge
Rockliffe Hotel in County Durham is a five star hotel which has undergone extensive refurbishment in recent years. One of the additions the Hotel owners had invested in as part of this work was a new fibre optic Local Area Network which provides network access throught the hotel. Unfortunately these works neglected to incorporate their telephony requirements. This could have resulted in having to install over 200 cable runs over 3 floors – both costly and disruptive. The proposed solution had to address these problems in a cost effective way and also integrate with their existing Front of House software.
Main Requirements
> 100% IP Network compatibility > Disruption free installation
> Hotel Software interface
> Reliable and easy to manage
The Technology
The nature of the challenge posed by Rockliffe ruled out the use of a direct-cable telephone system such as the ipLDK Range because of the high volume of cabling required in such a solution. The requirment for low-cost in-room phones also ruled out using other manufacturers systems as using IP Phones in all rooms was out of budget. An IPECS Platform was recommended because of its unique ability to fit within the hotels existing infrastructure, combine IP and TDM connections and deliver within budget.
The modular nature of the IPECS allows the placement of individual Gateways anywhere on the network whilst remaining a single system. The variety of Gateway modules also means that multiple types of telephones and communication conduits can be used at the same time – this optimises both cost and time, for install and over the lifetime of the system.
The decision to choose the IPECS Platform was primarily because it could work with our existing Network in a way that other systems just couldn't. We didn't need to lay new cable or close parts of the hotel – we can also see at a glance guest details and maid room status.
The modular nature of IPECS allows the system to fit the Network.
IPECS is truly unique in the way the system is designed, offering a distributed architecture that can use any IP Network as the system backbone. For Rockliffe Hotel this meant that the system could be installed onto their existing Network with IPECS Single Line Telephone Gateways being installed on each residential floor. These Gateways convert a single network connection into 32 SLT telephone points (effectively converting between IP and TDM technologies). Traditional telephone cable was then used from each Gateway to the guest phones on that floor – removing the need for cabling back to a single central location.
The advantage of using the SLT Gateways on each floor is that the amount of cabling required is significantly reduced – saving installation time, cost and disruption. Existing room phones can also be reused if there are budgetary constraints.
Extend the IPECS Platform beyond Geographic Boundaries.
This distributed architecture offers opportunities to expand beyond the single site application at Rockliffe to include Gateways installed at other sites anywhere in the world (as long as there is a TCP/IP link between them). The Gateways are controlled by the IPECS Call Server across the Network and offer a range of connectivity options from lines to extensions.
One of the useful applications of the distributed architecture is the installation of line Gateways at remote sites to allow you to make local rate calls.
This is especially powerful for high volume calls to international destinations – just install a local area Gateway and benefit from virtual local presence.
Having an extension from the IPECS at home enables Managers to keep in touch for free, and mobile extension extends this capability.
Today's small and medium size businesses recognize the advantage of the Home worker in terms of costs, performance and morale. However, without an appropriate communication solution, remote workers end up on a communications island, unable to effectively communicate with business colleagues. With the flexible IPECS Remote application, users simply connect their IP Phone or soft client (Phontage) to a home network with internet access and the terminal is automatically registered for service with IPECS.

When comparing Semaphore CI vs AppVeyor, the Slant community recommends AppVeyor for most people. In the question"What are the best continuous integration tools?" AppVeyor is ranked 8th while Semaphore CI is ranked 12th. The most important reason people chose AppVeyor is:
AppVeyor is free for public GitHub repositories.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Automatic Testing
Whenever a new push is made on GitHub or Bitbucket, Semaphore automatically runs tests on that branch.
Pro Free for open source
Semaphore supports open source and offers unlimited open source projects.
Pro Complete customer support
Semaphore offers all-around customer support for its commercial users.
Pro Free 100 builds per month for private projects
Semaphore offers 100 builds every month for private projects. This package is free for an unlimited time and offers: free & unlimited deploys, unlimited collaborators and running tests in parallel.
Pro GitHub integration
Projects can be imported from GitHub and Semaphore will automatically connect with that repository, once that's done, it will automatically trigger for every code commit.
Pro Docker support
Out of the box Docker support. Additionally, Semaphore can cache Docker images by using included docker-cache commands.
Pro Easy to configure
Semaphore is quite easy to configure and work with. It easily integrates with GitHub and a first build is only a few clicks away.
Semaphore is configured using .yaml configuration files which can be added from the web UI. There are a lot of tutorials out there that help developers configure Semaphore to their preference.
Pro Free for open-source projects
AppVeyor is free for public GitHub repositories.
Pro Supports Windows build enviroment
AppVeyor has a build environment for Windows available.
Pro Clear, straight-forward user interface
Well I suggest you check it out for yourself, but what I like most is that it's simple yet effective: no bells and whistles, simple black/grey/light-blue/white color scheme, it's immediately clear where you have to go for each specific task, and build settings pages are like that as well. Getting a 'standard' build running literally took me a minute the first time I used it.
Pro Easy access to build VM
AppVeyor allows the user to login to the actual build VM.
Pro The initial setup is easy
There's practically no setup involved prior to working with AppVeyor: simply sign in, add the project, and start a new build.
Con Proprietary with private project for $30/month
Semaphore is not free and nor is it open source. Pricing starts at $29 per month. However, there is a free option for private projects which have less than 100 builds per month and it's free for open source projects.
Con Not free
This is open-source but not free.
AppVeyor's configuration (which is done from the .yaml file in the root of the project) is unfortunately very limited. The configuration is either tied to a branch or, in other cases, it's global. This limits the developer to a single build process.
However, since you can use arbitrary scripts for building, all those limitations can be overcome. Configuration can also be done from the web UI without a .yaml file.

With the mainstream media as their echo chamber, leftist activists are increasing the pressure on Democratic lawmakers to impeach President Donald Trump.
The pressure comes as the White House is reeling from a non-stop barrage of leaks to the media dealing with Russia, Trump's relationship with former FBI Director James Comey and others.
Advertisement - story continues below
Trump fired Comey ten days ago for doing a "bad job." The media has swirled rumors that the firing was to stop Comey from investigating any relationship Trump or the Trump campaign had with the Kremlin.
One group is planning "Impeachment Marches" on July 2 at various cities around the country, The Daily Caller reports. It is the same group who were behind the Tax Day protests against Trump's decision to withhold his tax returns. Set to take place in 14 cities, there's speculation the number of cities will grow as frustration builds amongst liberals surrounding the White House.
There have already been more than 11,000 confirmed attendees to the Los Angeles March.

"Donald Trump has been in violation of the Constitution from the day he was sworn into the office of President. The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power to impeach an official, and it makes the Senate the sole court for impeachment trials," a description for the Impeachment March reads. "It is time that congressional representatives do their job and start the process to impeach this president. We believe president Trump has committed constitutional breaches, consistently lied, cheated, and enforces laws that primarily benefit him and his billionaire friends at the expense of the country."
The leftist group "Democracy For America" are also pressuring lawmakers in Congress to impeach Trump, barely four months into his term.
"This latest move by the Trump administration is too little, too late. With each passing day, we are learning of new ways in which Donald Trump is placing our country and our institutions in greater danger. Mueller was appointed by the same man who gave Trump cover for firing Comey, and his chain of command leads back to Donald Trump himself," said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of left-wing advocacy group Democracy for America.
Advertisement - story continues below
Rep. Maxine Waters and others have been calling for impeachment for some time. Less than two weeks ago, Rep. Mark Pocan, a Democrat from Wisconsin, actually suggested such nonsense. "We should maybe have an impeachment clock," he said. "And if we did, I think yesterday moved us about an hour closer to having that need."

A few months ago, Apple's Senior Vice President of Design, Sir Jonathan Ive, revealed the iPhone's new operating system, iOS7. One of the most noticeable differences compared to Apple's iOS6 is not so much its complete redesign and updates, but rather how much more colorful iOS7 is. People have been wondering what exactly inspired Ive to create such a new, unique color scheme.
German design student Max Wohlleber recently created a mock-theory of Ive's inspiration with a 16-second video that almost got us. Play the video and see if you can find inspiration in your own iOS6 products like Wohlleber did.

Recent developments in UV LED technology, especially in UV-B and UV-C regions, are leading to rapid adoption in applications such as sterilization, horticultural lighting, medical phototherapy, and UV curing. UV LEDs are known to offer significant energy, cost, and space savings when compared to traditional lighting technologies such as mercury vapor or high-pressure sodium bulbs. However, designing with UV LEDs brings an entirely new set of challenges. The essential first step when designing a new device is to evaluate and select an optimal UV LED that meets application requirements.
With hundreds of UV LED's available, researching and comparing the various options for your project is tedious and time-consuming. To streamline the selection process, Kopp Glass has compiled a database of over 700 UV LED products from 29 manufacturers--including products from industry leaders such as Seoul Viosys, LG Innotek and Rayvio.
This database provides specification data on:
- Peak Wavelength
- Product Type (Chip, COB, SMD, T-Type)
- Product Code
- Radiant Flux
- Forward Current
- Forward Voltage
- Emission Angle
Download the UV LED Product Guide here.
" Every application comes with its own unique set of requirements and performance goals. When you are selecting an LED for a new product you need to take into account parameters such as peak wavelength, viewing angle, and optical power. As you move forward and incorporate optical elements, all of this information is needed to create an optimized optical design that will achieve the performance goals for your application," says Dr. Justine Galbraith, Glass Engineer at Kopp Glass.
There are many reasons why you should choose to use UV LEDs when designing a new product. When evaluating options to select an appropriate LED, key questions to ask are:
- What is the peak wavelength of my application?
- What beam angles are available for LEDs at the wavelength of interest?
- What optical power output is required for my application?
Alleviate the need to spend valuable time scouring dozens of websites to find the LED best suited for your application and performance goals. Refer to the guide for the vital details needed to make pragmatic decisions when choosing an optimal LED. Although Kopp does not manufacture LEDs, we have over 90 years of expertise in manufacturing custom glass products that are used to optimize light output, resulting in differentiated, high-performing lighting products.

Freshmen or neither office english rights and if. Crime is there as image understood, it's been in a mastermind, program owned. Mesh, the girls can hide a mid-year, dollar, education. V-mon, anaphoric, i his business, off about the, nanan heidi podcast, further the. Foundation. Of a successful online. Business and, see. Grown I'm so, happy you're here, I'm. Really, excited to talk about your seven stages that, you you, have developed and that we are working with in inside, of some are inside of your big group program, thank, you so much for being here today thank, you for having me Katrin is a true, pleasure, yes. Very exciting, and we. Were thinking about, talking. About your seven, stages because, it is. Very. Yes. It's. A very good structure to. Follow if, you are just starting out or even if you've already been in business a bit longer but just to get an idea of, what, to do next right so you have kind of a checklist, you're. Doing this and. Where. Did you find, this information. Did. It just come to you I mean you are in business for about three, years now, and. You're a very, great, online business. Coach. But. How did you develop these, seven stages. Well. Yeah it did not come, to me right from the start I started, to work with clients. In 2014. And. And. I. Was. Trying like. Everybody, else when we go into online business I wanted, to have an online course and I. Launched. My. First. Online course that was actually successful because. I did it the way I will tell you afterwards how to do it but, the second, one my, that. I thought, it would be my signature course, and. One person pot, and. Luckily. I was working with the business coach for six weeks and, see. Helped, me kind of like okay let's just twist this around let's. Let's, talk to the people who have been a part of your launch, are on your list I had 1500, people on my list before, I even talked. To a business coach your email story my email list and. Too, many people, including, myself, jumped. Too far ahead we. Are cracked trying to just put a product out there or online core. Program. Or even a group program or a mastermind, group and. We. Haven't even done, the research, we haven't even checked if people wanted what we are offering, we. Haven't, even tested it with one person before.
We Want to sell it 200 and. This. Kind of you. Know something, started to brew in my head through my own experience. So after this would. We look at now yes. Probably unsuccessful. Launch when you only sell one spot in your online program but. What actually happened is that, I spoke, to 90 people in, 3 weeks and. I. Sold. Coaching. For, $27,000. Wow. And that, was my first launch, so my, first launch was a multiple fire you launch, but. People didn't want the program that I was trying to sell me they wanted something else and they told me because I finally. Asked. Them what they want it so. The, in this first year of business 2014. I I had, this experience, and I, didn't tell many people about it, I was a little bit embarrassed, you, know I'm. Business cards my. Lodge no, one, person fights of course but. I was very happy of course that, I made all these money and everybody, wanted to work with me just with, something else not what I was offering them and. Then. I continued to work with client 2015. 2016. And in. 2017. Early, on I, realized. I wanted to put together a, program. Based, on all my knowledge I had been doing weekly weaponers for a very long time I've done over 100 webinars, and, through. My membership program, I realized that people needed a step-by-step. Structure. It is. You know Weber is a great it's, a great way to sit down for an hour and learn something new but, you don't have you, often, cannot connect the dots between different, webinars and there's. No path and there's, no work shirt there's no homework it's just like there's a one of our and you walk away and, I. Felt I had been creating, all this, content. But. Still sometimes, people will come to me and say, I'm a bit lost or. There's. So much content, that I don't know what to do, and. I realized on one hand people, are consuming too much content, and they're not taking action and on. The other hand there's there's not such a good, system, and understanding, what to do yes there's this lis checklists, of all you need a freebie you need a landing, page and all these things but it's not how. Do I build, a business. And. At, the same time I got. Increasingly, frustrated. To see all these people jump. From having, no clients, to, trying. To launch an online course and I was trying to explain to them that they were doing the mistake that I did in 2014, and, I said I have done it I don't want you to do it. But. That was not helpful enough they need it I needed. To show. Them some framework, some, structure. I mean, I was like how can I instead. Of just saying excuse. Me. Stead of just telling someone you're doing it wrong. You. Gotta provide them with an answer like a solution, you have to show, them there is another way so. It, came to me more and like I have, to explain this I have to explain this and now I have, now I'm creating Samba, and I, was creating the first module, for Samba and I.
Sat Down and I said how to explain, to these new people that was joined this 12-month program. How. To explain to them the way to go and then. It was there a PI, remit the the seven stages came. To me out. Of you. Could say there's partly frustration, how, to explain, how to not to do it and. Just. My, own experience and, working with clients it came all together so. I don't, know if anyone, is thinking of creating a framework I think that's often how it happens it does not come, to you on day one where you think about oh I need a framework. It. Comes to you through lots. Of iterations in, your head but, one day it's, there and I. Created the seven stages actually, I called them the Samba stages, because it was the first module, and, I. Released, the first module. To. The people who had signed up for my, inaugural. Class so to speak these were the people who were going to test. And create the programme with me and they knew that they. Paid less they paid half price and, I. Released, the first module and everything. Went crazy in the group in the Facebook group they. Were like where. Have you been hiding this why, haven't you told me this before, and it was almost like they were criticizing. Me for, withholding them, information I just, created listen, they, said but I needed this two years ago I've been wasting my time and having, whoa. So. First my, first idea my, first idea was just to have this as the module in in Samba I was not planning to talk about this outside the program but. The reaction, or the participants. I was like okay. I cannot, withhold this information I. Have to tell everyone about it, even. If they don't buy, my programs, it doesn't matter everybody needs to know about the seven stages because. It seems to be a very good explanation of, the. Path you take to build a successful on my business it, doesn't seem to be it is for. Sure I think and. That's, the thing it's not just based on your experience. It's based on your clients, experience as well because you've been following, a lot of clients, for a long time to, see, what. They did to make them successful, right, so you've, created this with, all your knowledge and. If. I look at the stages, now this is the way I went, without knowing the stages so. Yeah. And. It's that's, the thing I think the seven stages help, you because I I went those ways but it, took me years to get, there right so I think just.
Knowing What. To do next really helps to shorten, the, period, to. Actually, become successful, it. Does and even if I kind. Of went skip, the stage I always go back and. Ultimately. You've gone through all the stages before you come to stage six or seven we're, gonna add at our seventh stage. Let's. Go there. Perfect. So let's. Start, at the bottom if, we look at stage zero because. You're not starting with stage zero what does that mean, like when when you're starting out yeah. I decided to call the first stage zero, because. It means zero. Revenue you. Can't forget that this stays zero so people went when people tell me I wanna stay zero I'm like okay so, you're not earning money yet but it could be that, you have a website it could be that you have you. Know are, working. With. Potential, clients like there may be for free. But. This stage is actually important. When. I look, back actually. Probably, end of 2013. I did, my first tests, I, I. Would. Reach out to fellow, entrepreneurs, that I knew were also building their online business and I would ask him to test with me. Your best year yet it, was an idea of mine how, to teach business planning to, entrepreneurs. And late and a year later this was a program I did, a lot of testing, in the beginning, that I didn't, immediately. Launch. As programs, but. It all came back to me it's so interesting that. Nothing. That you do even, if you feel it kind of might. You feel might you might be wasting your time but you are not this. Research. Stage. Or this testing, stage where you're not only money yet it will come back to you later on as a benefit, and everything. I did in my first month. Has. Come back as a product, in some shape. Or form so. Don't minimize. The, importance. Of this step what. You can do to fast-track, it is as soon as soon. As you have an idea, for. A product or for a you, know as. Soon as you have a business idea test. It, find. Three. Clients. That. Are willing to test this with you and since. We're in state zero they're probably not paying you and that's, fine you just need their commitment, and. Do. It fast. Don't, make it into a 12-week. Program or, six months or 12 months because, you, are you are, reiterating. If. You've heard about the method scrum, it's very popular in, programming. They. Instead. Of writing. Down the requirements. Of a new program, and then you know everybody. Agrees, to the requirements. And it takes three months to write what the program should look like and then you're programming, for nine months and then after twelve months the, person. That's supposed to use the program says no, that's, not what I want it so. That's. Exactly, why, a programmers. Now you scrum, where they kind of decide. A few things program. It four weeks later there's actually something working, and the, person using the program can say, oh yes. I like this let's move on or change this in that smaller. Steps, and smaller solutions. And you find find. A way together with the client even if it's for free or maybe a small fee maybe you know it doesn't have to be for free completely, no. You can't charge a little bit especially as soon as you have, a little, bit of a brand awareness if, you've been doing business, maybe. For a while you've built a recognition. Even if it's just through free content. Don't. Be afraid to charge a little bit to get a bigger commitment from your test clients, and. If but if you're totally unknown, you. Know I did a lot of free, coaching, training in the beginning, and I don't regret any of it I think it was important, but. The key is to get fast. Feedback. Yes, and. Testimonials. As well from your clients I guess yeah. The, feedback and testimonials, is for you to. Understand. Do. You like doing this because, you know it's not the, clients, getting success, is it. Actually, what you thought it would be like do you like doing it do you want to do it again do you want to be known for this you want to do it for a whole year or. What what is they you, know really results. From this, so. Yeah so state zero is for fast feedback I. Stayed. In there for a while. I. Think. Another way to get faster, through state zero is to be a part of the program whether it's someone, or a mastermind, or whoever. You surround. Yourself with the. Danger, of doing this alone is that, you, question. Yourself you doubt yourself and.
Even. If you get great feedback from your test clients, you, will kind of wonder hmm. Not really sure let me test it again instead. If you are surrounded, by like-minded people, inside. A program, or a mastermind, group they. Will they, will see the truth and they will encourage. You to continue, and eventually, start. To charge you. Know properly, for what you are offering but. State zero is is important, stage I, just want to encourage people to, reiterate. Fast. So. They really, get a fast answer. So. That they know that when they go to state zero this is actually what they want to do in their business great. I really like that and then the next step, would be if we, want to go on to stage one the, stage one is, one-on-one. Clients. So, working, closer. And getting paid for it so what, what could be part of that stage because. It's as you are saying it's very important, to get a lot of feedback before, creating first, online course so where would the online course be in which stage do, you see that one happening. The. World the online course doesn't come until it states three, and, that's actually a smaller, online, course and stage 4 is your signature on a course so before you go there I want, you to work on a1 and we are of course here talking about service based businesses, not necessarily product based businesses we're. Talking, about, coaching. Consulting training. It. Can also be. Even. If you are doing something that is on a lot bigger. Scale, you. Still, need. To test with individual, clients even if you're doing you. Know, projects. Or selling. Big programs, you have to test, so. Yeah so stage one is it's, basically taking what you learn from state zero and implementing. It on a level. Where people are paying you and they're. Not paying you. Know they're not paying half price they're painful price and. They're. You. Could stay there for a while some people want to go very fast through the stage and I say well minimum, three to five paying clients, before you even, consider going to the next stage so. Let's say you're one of those who says I just, don't like working one-on-one with people I really. Want to move fast the reason I went into online business, is the, own like horses and I said okay still. Three. To five clients paying, client. Because. I don't want you to make any mistakes, and and, it's. A big difference between doing something for free and asking. People to pay money for it and your. True answer, to, whether people want your, program or not is when people pay a full price, because. Oh and they don't pay anything well, we all want to participate in all kinds of challenges, and, programs for free but, as soon as somebody asks us to pay, we're like hmm, I could, do something else with that money so. Your, true answer, whether their business idea, and the program is is on the right track as when, these 100 clients pay you and you. Take them through your process, so if you have something in mind which, you might have take. Them through that process one, on one could. Be six weeks eight weeks 12, weeks whatever it takes, but. I do. Recommend. If you want to be a coach. If. You want to be a good coach. This. Is a stage where you stay in for a little while I know. Amy porterfield also. Recommends, the same 12, to 18 months is. The. Time you need to. Really learn, the. Tricks. Of the trade or whatever you want to call it like to, be a good coach, I interviewed. Chris Tucker not, so a long time ago on my podcast and, he told. Me when he started to really. Coach, people. He. First built a business like, the virtual. Assistant. Business, that he has in the Philippines where he helped you find a virtual assistant. But. Then people asked him for coaching and he, said I was a crappy coach. He. Said that honestly. On the podcast and I realized yeah that's true when, you start to work as a coach consultant trainer, and let's, say you just haven't done that in your previous job and even if you've done it in your previous job you. Haven't done it in this way before, right. You're probably not the best when, you start and. That's. Okay I hope, you're not charging too high prices at the beginning, for that and. Still your clients can be happy but you realize, two. Years later hmm. Debra, thinks you could have done better you could have coached better you, could have you, know and we are human, you know we make mistakes and I think it's not just about the coaching, you, know what I did, the same thing so for about two years I was only. Consulting. More. Or less on Facebook, and not I had. No courses whatsoever. But. In. That, time. Period. I was. Working. On my community, so I was building up my community, because it's much easier to get a one-on-one client. Then. To sell, an online course where you kind of need bigger number, right to actually, get the kind of money you would get one-on-one so, that's, also big part of it you know staying a bit longer in that in that period I would say and then building, up a community, getting, your expert, status, out there and really talking, about people start, talking about you and then it's much easier to, sell an online course to more than one person.
That's. Exactly, right yeah. Basically. It's. Much, easier, to build, a business in, terms of revenue with, one-on-one clients then, with online courses because. The online course will never have the price tag of what you can charge one on one and you. Would have to sell, a lot of those to, make similar. Amount o, working. One-on-one for, 12 to 18 months it. Doesn't mean that you are not earning good money you can, easily have a six-figure, business one. On one you just need to learn to, kind. Of price right, and. The. Length of your program, and also tech Tate the, the price of the program in, the beginning, I do recommend, doing it six weeks so these were my first one on clients, I had, been offering one-off one-hour sessions, that's, not very sustainable and I, would. Say if you do that do that only for a short while just, kind of testings, out but. As soon as you have people, working. With you another longer and you know move fast, to a six-week, package, that's where I think you should start and, I. Charged. $1,500. For my first six week package and. Now. I charge the thousand dollar an hour so you see there's a difference there. And. As. Soon as I was fully booked with six, week clients, I realized, I had to move to a longer, program. So, I just started, to say twelve weeks for three thousand I didn't, even think of you know you. Know having, a different price when. I was fully booked with that I started to raise my prices. So. It's important, to be fully, booked before, you consider raising, your prices yes. I know some. Might be very eager, to earn money, and thinking, about all how can I earn more money and, one way to earn more money richer, prices, yes. But. Your clients, need to value you at that, level so. I, would be careful going, in to raise the prices before you are fully booked and fully, booked for for. Coaching means. Could mean 10 clients because. I realized, when I had about 13, clients, and. You, know I was giving them attention over, email, and, and, you. Know possibly, you have them also maybe on Facebook's I send you a message or something and suddenly you realize 13. Clients is a lot if. You're talking to them I was talking to people every, week for an hour then. It would possibly email me that on top and then, I do my weekly webinars, and then I do social, media content, marketing all those stuff to kind, of build the community, as you said so, that in the future you can launch an online course and. So, for. Me it was ten clients that that was then, when I was fully booked. Great. And then to scale, your. Your stage. After, that would. Be stage, two so, so, what are you doing in that stage. Just. To scale up a little bit in. Stage, two is a group, program and. You. Can be. Thinking of, launching. That as a course later but. I I recommend. It to a group program first. So. I had this idea of, course. Launch, with passion I wanted to teach people how to launch I had been launching I've been helping my clients launching, and.
It. Doesn't matter if it's a book or a website. 101. Group, coaching or, online course there. Are certain, things you can do when you're launching and, you, tweak them a little bit for the different products. So. I thought about launch. With passion, as a course. For those who are launching for the first time or, they've. Had an unsuccessful launch, just like myself in my first year of business and you're going into your second launch and you're, getting stressed because you haven't actually had a successful. Launch before, so. My idea was to run, this as a group program and then create the course, right. And, I. Asked. My community, then. Don't, make that mistake don't, launch something on, they let you have asked first. So, you I had a free Facebook group admin running for a year or more I asked, them in the group I asked, how many people were launching, in the next three to six months, so I got a bit, of idea how many might be interested, I, asked. Them if they would like to a program, like that I asked them for the name you. Know all these wonderful. Ideas that, you could also use as a seeding, so you're preparing, for a launch but, you're also checking, that. There's actual interest, so. When I launched the program actually I was kind of travelling in Iceland, on a summer holiday when. I got the idea for, the program I wrote, the sales pitch on one evening I said okay kids go to bed and I, told, my husband I've got to do this now I had this idea and, I, have. A wonderful assistant, so basically I sent, her my copy. In the, evening, and the next day, the sales place was ready and then I. Basically. Went into my group and told him about it and I, had. Some fast action you know these large strategies, fast. Action bonus for those who were quick but I did know webinar, nothing, and it was sold. Out within a few days oh, that's. A, community. There. Was no content, in there though it's like how did your group. Program, look like you had no content, you, were just talking to them kind of in webinars, and giving them what I wanted at that time. Well. I decided because I was thinking of doing an online course which I never, did by, the way I. Was. I I started. To prepare content that, I sent, them once a week, so. You can deliver this in a webinar and I actually suggest, you do I one, thing that I if. I look back now. It. Was taking me a lot of time just to create those slides and recorded, separately I I wish I would have just delivered that over a webinar to them it, would have been much more effective and, this is what a Jeff. Walker in his product launch formula book, recommends.
As Well, he, calls the seed launching, this method, when. You basically you. Know you you check if people are interested in a program you, create, it just with, the people whether, it's four six, or eight the. Group of people and. It's. Like a group program, so, the. Content, should ideally, be delivered over short webinars, where. The people are live with you and can give you immediately feedback, can you ask your questions right away so yeah I did it a little bit the, other way around but I would do it differently if I did it again same, here with ya I. Always. Learn you know we, make mistakes, and but we, want, everyone. Listening, watching, not. To make these mistakes yes, yeah, so seed launching, is you, don't prepare any content upfront of course you know what you're teaching, but. And you have the framework in mind so week 1 week 2 you know what topics you want to cover you. Actually, I would, probably prepare. Some slides beforehand. But I would just deliver it like a short webinar, not, more than 30 minutes people cannot consume so much and then the, rest of the time the. Audience, this group of hopefully, six people, is just asking your questions and, getting. You, know and, you're. Getting feedback on your content, you see their pain points right I think that's the most important, you get feedback and and you know what what they're working on I really. Like that concept and that's how I launched, my first course as well of course. I, did that mistake and prepared, all the videos up front about 50, of them so. That. Wasn't very. Effective. It. Wasn't, very it was very time-consuming let's, say like yeah that's especially, because my, facebook. Topic. Changes. So quickly and, then that, was a big mistake so, I would always do webinars now for. A course like that and I really, like that concept so, just. Moving, into the online business world because I know it's it. There's, so much about. It we've just gone, to stage two. And I mean you are already mentioning, that stage 3 would be the first small online course and there's. More stages to it and. We are gonna have a webinar, about this in January so whoever. Is interested in, all the stages and once more about all, of them so for, example maybe adding, mastermind, groups or. Retreats. To their online, business and there's. A lot more to it and there's a book you know you have quite a few great, ideas, on how, to get into the six-figure, and even much higher, online. Business. Six-figure. Meaning at least a hundred thousand, for everybody who doesn't know and I. Know this this, is really great for the foundation, for us and and, what. I really, like, everybody. To know you are starting, a webinar series, just. After Christmas maybe, you want to tell people about, that a little bit more, yeah. So. We. Talked about one, of the key things you need in online business it's a freebie yes, and one. Of the most popular. Freebies. Or free, offerings, I have put, out there it's. My twelfth s webinars, I came up with this two. Years ago so. This is the third time I run it. People. Love it because it's a little bit over the downtime, of Christmas, so. The, English meaning, or the American, meaning twelve twelve, days of Christmas, is actually 25th. Of. December. To. January fifth, so. Once, a day you. Get access to one of my best webinars. Of the, year. So. In the previous years, I've you. Know my.
Assistant, Or my team has gone through my webinars, we've seen which ones are most popular, and we, pull the back normally, they are only, available when you watch life or replay, for 24 hours and then it takes them away and they're only accessible, to people who, are, in my summer program, as a library, as a resource, and now, I take these best ones out and make. Them available each, one for 24 hours so you need to be on your toes, make. Sure you are, that. You're ready to watch those that you want to watch but each one you can watch for 24 hours, and. I will be even before. Recording. Some, brand new ones like Facebook Ads because, as you said Facebook change is so fast, my. Webinar on facebook ads was done in January. I said, to my, Samba people, my. Community, I'm, gonna record a new ones they are already very excited I couldn't record it very shortly for, them and then in 12 states with webinars you, will have access to that as well so it's, on launching. Master. Mining sales funnels, Facebook Ads messenger. BOTS. It's. A lot of the topics that I am using, in, my launching, and. What, I'm known for you know mastermind, groups is pretty much what I'm known for also, some buys a mastermind, like program, because. We have mostly mastermind, calls and. Sales funnels a very popular topic we. Are gonna do a lot of automated, sales funnels in 2018. But. We have great examples already. This year and, yeah.

If you like to get high or if you attend to a party, you are likely to find both beer and weed on offer. Now, if you're like most people, you'll want to indulge in both. And most people do it all the time. However, is it ok to mix the two, what happens when you do, and is there a particular order you should follow when pairing these two? Discover the answers to these questions below.
Beer + Weed combo
Mixing beer and Cannabis is said to provide an exquisite high that cannot be obtained by taking just one of these ingredients. Some people call it the crossfade. However, it works differently for most people. In some cases, the combo will make you really hyper or really high. And in some cases, it will make you really mellow. All these differences are due to the many variables in the equation; there are the different types of beer and alcohol concentrations, the different strains of Cannabis, and the amounts of each that you partake in.
Drinking and then smoking pot
This would seem like the default way to approach this combo. But going by feedback from the public and people in various forums online, not many people can handle this approach. Most report that drinking and then smoking pot brings about the spins, sweats, as well as feelings of nausea. It doesn't sound like something you'd want to get into. And yet, there are a few who claim that this is their cup of tea. How about that?
Taking weed and then drinking beer
A lot of people support this approach when it comes to pairing beer and weed. They opt to smoke pot first and once they get a little buzzed they start to drink. They claim that this tones down their high and allows them to level out much better. If you are looking to pair beer and weed for the first time, this would seem like the safer approach going by the majority. Of course, there are a few who say that this methodology doesn't work for them; each to their own.
Side effects to watch out for
If you pair beer and weed in a manner that does not agree with your anatomy, you are bound to endure a few side-effects. But don't worry; it's nothing that a little rest won't cure. Most of the reported side effects include a spinning head, vomiting, nausea, extreme highs, hallucinations, and sweating.
Finding the right balance
The one thing that comes out clearly in this whole pairing experience is that people react differently to mixing beer and annabis. And as mentioned earlier, there are many variables at play here. The best approach is to find what works for you. Take it slow and slowly pair different Cannabis strains with your favorite beers until you find a working formula.

Digital Interactive Games for Exhibition Stands & Trade Show Booths
Looking to Use a Digital Interactive Exhibition Stand Game to Help Attract Customers at Trade Shows?
Many companies want to engage visitors with a big screen and/or multimedia content at trade conventions. But without a great piece of engaging content, it's a wasted opportunity.
Custom branded games are the ultimate in premium, engaging, interactive exhibition stand attractions, that you can use again and again.
If you're looking to start using exhibition games to help attract customers to your trade show booth and increase footfall, we can help.
What Hardware Will We Need to Run a Game On Our Exhibition Stand?
We design interactive games for exhibitions with standard PC hardware and/or mobile devices & tablets in mind and can support a wide variety of input devices and screen sizes, depending on your requirements.
This allows us to cover everything from small interactive touch screen kiosk to a fully featured retro arcade game to run on a giant screen on your exhibition stand.
We can also support a range of input devices, from touch screens to gamepads and joysticks for a more arcade-like game experience.
Interactive Touch Screen Kiosks
It's no longer necessary to use custom setups, with expensive touch screen displays attached to PC hardware, to set up a video game at a trade show. Tablets have a touch screen and the hardware you need to run your game built in. All you need to do is mount it on your exhibition stand. There's also nothing stopping you using multiple tablets to allow multiple visitors to play at once.
Although they don't have quite the drawing power of a giant screen, tablets are a great, easily accessible choice if you're working to a tight budget.
Big Screen Games
If you have a more substantial budget for your stand and really want to stand out, you can run your exhibition game on a giant screen. All you need is a standard Windows PC and the screen built into your stand. You also have the option of using a touch screen display or standard gamepad/joystick controls for a more arcade-like game experience.
Are Exhibition Games Only Suitable for Big, Professionally Built Stands?
Not at all. The trade show games we make are designed to run on standard hardware. So there's no real barrier to where or when you can use your game. Using just a standard tablet or PC with a screen attached, you can easily set up a your exhibition stand game on anything from small DIY build exhibition stall to a large, professionally built trade show booth.
You're also not restricted to using your game at trade shows. You can easily use it at any live promotional event. You don't even have to provide the hardware to play. If your exhibition game is web based, you can advertise the web address at the event and encourage attendees to play on their own mobile devices.
Can Our Exhibition Game Be Built Around Our Brand, Products or Services?
Absolutely. We believe each game should be built from the ground up, to communicate specific brand messages and product/service features and benefits. This is what we do.
Creating a custom video game for your exhibition stand also means it can be specifically tailored to appeal to your target audience.
Despite what you might think custom trade show games don't have to cost a fortune. We can accommodate a range of budgets.
Can Our Game Be Customised for a Particular Trade Show or Event?
We can make modifications to your exhibition stand game on an event by event basis. This is useful if you're promoting slightly different sets of products or services at different trade shows.
If you're likely to want multiple versions of your game, it's worth discussing this with us early on, so we can plan to minimise the extra work and cost involved.
We always encourage repeat uses of a trade show game. After the initial production, you can use your game again and again at multiple events for minimal extra cost.
Use Your Trade Show Game in Other Areas of Your Marketing
To get the most from your budget we can look at building an additional version of your exhibition stand game for you to use in other areas of your marketing. E.g. we can build a version to use on your website to help drive traffic.
If you're interested in using your exhibition game elsewhere, it's best to let us know at the initial planning stage, so we can take this into account during the design phase.
Can You Work With the Events Company That's Building Our Exhibition Stand?
Sure. If you're getting your exhibition stand built by an event company, you can either contact us directly, or get them to contact us.
If you are an events company or digital agency looking for a partner to build games to include as part of an exhibition stand you're designing, then we'll also be able to help.
Our Trade Show Game Design & Development Services
We have around a decade of experience developing digital interactive games for businesses large and small.
We cover the full interactive exhibition game development process, from initial designs, concepts and mock-ups through to the final build, including artwork, animation, programming, music and sound design. Plus we're here to answer any questions and advise you every step of the way.
We'll work with you to produce the best solution for your needs and within your budget. We can also provide guidance and ideas on getting the most from your game at exhibitions and trade shows.
Who We've Produced Games For
We've created games for businesses large and small and can provide solutions to suit most budgets. Some of our clients include London based marketing and advertising agencies, one of the biggest theatre companies in the UK (and London's West End), one of the world's most successful independent film & TV production/distribution companies, one of the world's largest supermarket chains, book publishers, a well known UK motorsport venue and more.

Why I Don't Want Any Christmas Presents
So, what do you want for Christmas?
A new sweater? Some designer vase? New kitchen utensils?
Do you want something practical – or something beautiful? Or both?
Do you have a wish list you've sent out to family and friends? Are you at the same time, busy buying presents for others?
Ever since I can remember, my Christmas has been full of presents.
Opening them would be the greatest joy. Sometimes, I would help my parents put the presents under the tree, secretly feeling them in my hands, guessing what I would get.
And my favourite thing would be watching my parents and sisters open the presents from me – often handmade – and always given with so much love.
Then slowly things started to change.
The Christmas gifts started to mean less and less to me. Even though they were bought, wrapped and given with so much love and thoughtfulness – I started to realize that those were only things. Material things. Consumeristic things. Things that those that gave me – and I had before – believed that I needed in my life.
Like I've written about before – living abroad completely changed my view on things. And as I came home for a short visit around Christmas, two years ago, it made no sense to get Christmas gifts that I would just leave there while I went abroad for eight more months to finish my studies. So that year, I only asked for money (which my family really did not like).
Last year, I came home from Thailand the day before Christmas. I had not partaken in any Christmas preparations and I had only bought and wrapped two presents, for my sisters. I felt that something had changed in my heart. I could feel that only the deeply personal presents gave me the joy that presents had given before. I could feel that I had lost some of my connection and appreciation to material things.
And I want to make it perfectly clear that my family and friends have always given me the most thoughtful presents – and this change has only happened within myself. If anything, they know even better than before what to give me.
So, this year, I want no Christmas presents.
Not even one. I am using the opportunity for this extreme, as me and my family are going abroad for Christmas, and it makes absolutely no sense to bring presents with us there. As we are going from Iceland – to Florida – I decided that this year our Christmas vacation would be a vacation from Christmas. I can only celebrate Christmas at home, in the snow. While wearing a bikini somewhere in the heat, Christmas will be too far away from my heart.
More importantly, I have everything I need. That is, all the things that I need. And these circumstances, are simply making it easier for me to express my views. Express how things have changed.
What I want for Christmas this year is family time. I want to enjoy the time with my family. I want to play games, do puzzles, watch movies – chat, laugh and play. Because there is always room for more wonderful memories.
And next year, I want to find balance between the two extremes. Instead of getting more things that I actually need – or getting no presents at all – I want to find the balance between the two.
I want Christmas presents to move from being so many, useful things – to only being small, thoughtful things to make your Christmas even better.
From now on, all I want to get is a puzzle, a good book and a box of chocolate.
And I want to give the same to my family and friends.
I want to move Christmas presents from consumerism (let's be honest here) to a few nice and thoughtful (hopefully handmade) presents.
I want to change how I give presents. And I want to change the presents I get.
I want to focus again on the cozy family time – that has always been the best part anyway.
What do you want for Christmas this year, yogis? Share with us below!

Yet what neither of these reports did was quote any of the other senior management team. This is despite journalists regularly calling for a greater choice of personnel to approach (see right). Beyond the boss, they want
access to the whole senior management team – be it the finance director, the marketing director or their equivalents.
High-profile management
So, should in-house PR practitioners make more use of other board directors to avoid over exposing the chief executive? And which companies are already doing this?
PRWeek, in association with Factiva Insight, compared the number of UK press mentions given to CEOs, FDs and marketing directors in the six months leading up to the Vodafone announcement (30 May). Only the top 20 FTSE companies were measured.
The data (see PRWeek.com/uk) reveals big differences in companies' choice of spokesperson. Some firms predominantly used their CEO, while others were as likely to put forward their FD. Some also had a deliberate policy to use – or indeed rest – certain spokespeople, depending on the story. PRWeek asked six of the FTSE 20 to explain their spokesperson strategy. PRWeek also approached journalists, who gave their verdict on the policies.
Here, we focus on Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Tesco, Vodafone, Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays.
With some of the FTSE 20, the dominance of the CEO compared with, say, the financial director, is marked. Unilever FD Rudy Markham only appeared in the press four times in the six months to 30 May, compared with 101 quotes by his CEO, Patrick Cescau. Similarly, the 106 press appearances by GlaxoSmithKline CEO Jean-Pierre Garnier dwarf the two made by his FD, Julian Heslop.
Unilever says it carefully selects which personnel to use as spokespeople. Head of UK media relations Trevor Gorin says Cescau was purposely promoted as the company sought to introduce the group's chief executive (who has only been in his post for one year) to the City. Although Markham is always present at press conferences on results day, he tends to be offered up for interviews with specialist financial media, such as Financial Director magazine. While Markham might appear in the Lex column of the Financial Times, Cescau is more likely to find himself in that paper's main news sections. 'We develop a programme of media activity for each of our senior people, including speaking engagements,'
Gorin explains.
Pros: A spokesperson for GSK maintains that having Garnier as the public face of the company works well. One of his most recent profiles was in The Observer (30 April): 'We adopted a deliberate policy a few years ago of building up Garnier's profile. We're lucky that he's a fantastic ambassador for GSK. Journalists that meet him like him, and this generally gets reflected in the coverage.'
Cons: 'There is a danger of promoting the CEO too much,' says Jo Thethi, PR manager at Barclays, whose CEO John Varley often makes way for marketing director Jim Hytner (see right). 'If CEOs become too linked with the company in the eyes of investors and other stakeholders, this is a risk. Are PROs trying to change this? That depends on whether their company can cope with having two strong personalities visible at the top.'
At Tesco, all board directors are promoted equally – they are offered for interview according to the nature of the story. 'Our board members all have broad responsibilities, so we prefer to use whoever is most relevant to the subject in hand,' says head of press Jonathan Church. 'FD Andrew Higginson speaks on finance, strategy and retailing services, while marketing director Tim Mason (who has now moved to the US) handles retailing services as well as marketing and property. CEO Sir Terry Leahy obviously has the overview, and tends to lead our financial results.'
A similar policy is followed by Vodafone. Although CEO Arun Sarin was mentioned more than any other chief executive of the FTSE top 20 (327 times in March alone, as rumours emerged of a rift with chairman Lord McLaurin), others get a look-in. Vodafone's financial director (Andy Halford) and marketing director (Frank Rovekkamp) were also quoted frequently in the six months to 30 May.
Ben Padovan, the mobile phone firm's deputy head of media relations, says: 'We always seek to match the interview request with the most appropriate person. Sarin has only given around four direct interviews each month because we want to avoid overexposure.' Four a month might sound like a lot, but consider the fact that the press team receives up to 40 interview requests with Sarin each week.
Pros: Fiona Walsh, City reporter at The Guardian, says: 'Chief executives are always brought out on results day but quite often I will never get through to them at any other time. It's almost impossible to establish a relationship with them. It's much better dealing with someone for whom it would be too embarrassing not to take my call.'
Cons: Carol Lewis, Career editor at The Times, criticises PROs for making it hard to access management. 'I never have a problem getting hold of the CEO because PROs assume you want to speak to the head honcho. But it seems like it's still too much of a problem for them to offer someone else.'
Royal Bank of Scotland's strategy for fronting its management team has been to specifically push financial director Guy Whittaker. He garnered half as many press mentions as CEO Fred Goodwin after the company announced its annual results in December. Mike Keohane, head of group media relations at RBS (and with four press mentions to 30 May), says: 'Skill with the media doesn't ascend with seniority. The challenge is persuading journalists that another director is more relevant. Perhaps a company that is struggling financially would benefit from having a media-savvy FD to put its case in detail – the CEO will always be shot down.' And do not forget marketing directors. Factiva's results show these individuals rarely get quoted in the press, but Barclays marketing director Jim Hytner was the second-most mentioned head of marketing (with 38 appearances in the six months to June).
Hytner is a former marketing director of ITV and Five, and is especially media-friendly. He regularly shares the stage with chief executive John Varley on results day. Barclays PR manager Jo Thethi says Hytner was quoted so much during the period because he is able to speak authoritatively on a range of issues. 'He was quoted a lot in February and March because we were rebranding a lot of our branches,' she adds. 'This had more cut-through than would have been achieved via our CEO.'
Pros: 'Press officers think they should only field the most senior directors, but their availability makes that difficult. I would much prefer having better access to someone more junior but who could talk things through with me,' says the City editor of one newspaper.
Cons: 'It's best to front the CEO and FD/CMO together – both for coherence in the story and to get the specialist viewpoints of each,' argues Roger Blitz, leisure industry correspondent at the Financial Times.

Search Supreme Court Cases
MISSISSIPPI ET AL. v. LOUISIANA ET AL - 506 U.S. 73
MISSISSIPPI ET AL. v. LOUISIANA ET AL.
No. 91-1158. Argued November 9, 1992-Decided December 14,1992
Mter private plaintiffs brought suit against private defendants in the District Court to quiet title to certain land riparian to the Mississippi River, Louisiana intervened in the action and filed a third-party complaint against Mississippi seeking to determine the boundary between the two States in the vicinity of the disputed land. Following this Court's denial of leave to Louisiana to file a bill of complaint against Mississippi in this Court, the District Court found the land in question to be part of Mississippi and quieted title in the plaintiffs. The Court of Appeals reversed.
Held: The uncompromising language of 28 U. S. C. § 1251(a), which gives to this Court "original and exclusive jurisdiction of all controversies between two or more States" (emphasis added), deprived the District Court of jurisdiction over Louisiana's third-party complaint against Mississippi. Though § 1251(a) is phrased in terms of a grant of jurisdiction to this Court, the plain meaning of "exclusive" necessarily denies jurisdiction of such cases to any other federal court. See, e. g., California v. Arizona, 440 U. S. 59, 63. The District Court's adjudication of a private action involving the location of the boundary between two States does not violate § 1251(a), since that section speaks in terms of parties, not claims or issues. But the adjudication of such an action would not be binding on the States in any way. Because both of the courts below intermixed the questions of title to real property and of the state boundary's location, it must be determined on remand whether on this record the claims of title may fairly be decided without additional proceedings in the District Court. pp. 75-79.
937 F.2d 247, reversed and remanded.
REHNQUIST, C. J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
James W McCartney argued the cause for petitioners.
With him on the briefs were Robert R. Bailess, Charles Alan Wright, Mike Moore, Robert E. Sanders, and Richard H. Page.
Gary L. Keyser, Assistant Attorney General of Louisiana, argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief were Richard P. Ieyoub, Attorney General of Louisiana, and E. Kay Kirkpatrick, Assistant Attorney General.
CHIEF JUSTICE REHNQUIST delivered the opinion of the Court.
This action was originally commenced by private plaintiffs suing other private defendants in the District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi to quiet title to certain land riparian to the Mississippi River. The State of Louisiana intervened in the action and filed a third-party complaint against the State of Mississippi seeking to determine the boundary between the two States in the vicinity of the disputed land. We hold that 28 U. S. C. § 1251(a), granting to this Court original and exclusive jurisdiction of all controversies between two States, deprived the District Court of jurisdiction of Louisiana's third-party complaint against Mississippi.
The land in question lies along the west bank of the Mississippi River near Lake Providence, Louisiana. The private plaintiffs, known as the Houston Group, alleged that they own the land in fee simple as a result of a homestead patent issued by the United States in 1888 and a deed issued by Mississippi in 1933. Louisiana and the Lake Providence Port Commission intervened in the title dispute and filed a third-party complaint against Mississippi seeking a determination of the boundary between the States. Louisiana then sought leave to file a bill of complaint against Mississippi in this Court. Mississippi opposed the motion in view of the pendency of the District Court action, and also emphasized that the case was originally a dispute between private parties: "Houston brought the suit to establish the boundary line to their land. It is incidental that the boundary line is also alleged to be the State line." App. to Pet. for Cert. 86a.

Habitat for Humanity breaks ground on home in Williamstown
WILLIAMSTOWN — Habitat for Humanity broke ground Thursday evening on what will be its 106th home in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
The house at 809 W. Fourth St. will be the second house built in Williamstown, according to Alvin Phillips, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Jennifer Davis and her children will become the future homeowners.
Construction will begin in mid to late September.
"I am so glad that my children will get to learn from this experience and watch our dream come true from the ground up," Davis said.
Davis said that especially when taking on the world as a single mother, providing a home for her children to grow and create memories in has been something she continuously prays about.
"Today is the beginning of a day long prayed for; today my dream comes true," Davis said.
The land for this house was donated by Williamstown Bank and the home is sponsored by Cornerstone Building Brands (SimEx and Ply Gem) and many individual donors as part of a Give Local MOV community sponsorship.
Through their national "Home for Good" program, SimEx and Ply Gem have donated siding, windows and shutters for the home.
"Employees at their local facilities in Wood, Ritchie and Pleasants counties will also be helping to build the home and install the company's donated products," said Phillips.
Simex Vinal Extrusion plant manager David Robertson said he was excited to be given this opportunity to give back to the community and build new friendships throughout the area.
After the ceremony, guests signed three "prayer boards," inscribing their good wishes and prayers on framing studs that will be incorporated into the structure of the house.
Homebuyers work alongside community volunteers in the construction of their house. Habitat partners with homebuyers who must provide sweat equity hours, take homeowner education courses, and have met all requirements of homeownership.
So far, Davis has put in a little over 100 equity hours.
Once the house is completed, homebuyers pay a manageable mortgage payment, with no interest on their loan.
The organization hopes to begin and have under roof at least one home, maybe a second, by the end of the year, Robin Stewart, Habitat director of resource development, said.
