Q: Use a python module from within a package I have some difficulties with python module/package usage in my code. The code is here: https://github.com/cjlano/svg
.
└── svg
    ├── geometry.py
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── LICENSE
    ├── README.md
    ├── svg.py
    ├── svg.test.py
    └── tests
        └── [...]

In the module svg I need to use the module geometry. As this module did not exist in the beginning when all the code was in svg.py, I decided to import the entire geometry namespace into svg (from geometry import *).
My issue is that, when I import the svg module from my package, it works well in python2 but fails in python3:
Python 2.7.5 (default, Sep  6 2013, 09:59:46)
[GCC 4.8.1 20130725 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from svg import svg
>>> help(svg)

Gives me access to the svg module documentation. Whereas
Python 3.3.2 (default, Sep  6 2013, 09:35:59)
[GCC 4.8.1 20130725 (prerelease)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from svg import svg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "./svg/svg.py", line 27, in <module>
    from geometry import *
ImportError: No module named 'geometry'

Gives an error on import.
Any ideas on how to write my code to be usable in python3?
Thanks!

A: It will work in both python 2.7 and 3.x if you use a relative import in svg.py:
from .geometry import *

Note the "." in front of the module name.

A: Python 3 doesn't do implicit relative imports any more.
This means you need to either make the import of geometry in svg.py an explicit relative import, or better yet, change it to an absolute import:
from svg.geometry import *

As pointed out by @CJlano, this then also requires from __future__ import absolute_import for it to still work on Python 2.

Вене́ц капе́лл — ряд капелл, окружающих апсиду и отделённых от хора деамбулаторием.

Венцы капелл появились в архитектуре романского периода в связи с увеличением количества культов местных святых, мощей и реликвий. Кроме того, храмы стали посвящать одновременно нескольким святым, что требовало не одного, а многих алтарей.

Наиболее завершённую форму венец капелл приобрёл в готической архитектуре: малые капеллы-апсидиолы располагались симметрично, по осям, исходящим из единого центра в средокрестии храма.

I'm interested in learning more about del.icio.us. If you're using it, or if you're one of the developers, or you have developed an add-on or plug-in, or you're Joshua Schacter, drop me a line.
it was a great place to find new links and new things to think about.
found. It has also changed the way I think about everything I read.
Thanks for the interesting piece and the invitation to give you my thoughts.

Why can you not compile the Simulink model with SIMATIC Target 1500S V1.0 (Upd1)?
Compilation of the Simulink model with SIMATIC Target V1.0 (Upd1) fails if you have installed version V1.0 (Upd1) after installation of V2.0.
To clear this behavior you have to remove the Target 1500S V2.0 as system target file from the corresponding MATLAB version and then re-insert it.
Uninstall the Target 1500S V2.0 software (highest release version) and then re-install.
From the installation path of Target 1500S V2.0, via the Windows Command Prompt you run the "target_integrator.exe" tool.
Close all the open programs including MATLAB/Simulink.
Start the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as Administrator.
Using the command "cd" and the relevant path you switch to the folder '\bin' in the installation directory of Target 1500S V2.0.
Execute the command "target_integrator –h" to display the Help for using the tool.
Execute the command "target_integrator uninstall –a" to remove Target V2.0 from all the compatible MATLAB versions.
Alternative: Execute the command "target_integrator uninstall - path <path_to_matlab_exe>" to remove Target V2.0 from a specific MATLAB version.
Execute the command "target_integrator install –a" to re-insert Target V2.0 in all the compatible MATLAB versions.
Alternative: Execute the command "target_integrator install - path <path_to_matlab_exe>" to re-insert Target V2.0 in a specific MATLAB version.

GROWING EDGES
Whatever happened to those bumper stickers that suggested we "Practice random acts of kindness"?
Did people give up on the whole idea that kindness matters?
Last week, the publisher of the Lamesa Press-Reporter rekindled my faith in the power of kindness — but first, I must set the context.
The fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame troubled me — a lot.
In a season where it seems that bad things keep happening more frequently all over the world, the fire at Notre Dame was not just one more horrible thing. It was scary to me. It felt symbolic. I kept asking as it burned, "What else? What now?"
On the night of November 3, 1952, the First Baptist Church in Lamesa, Texas was destroyed by fire. I remember the event well because my father was the pastor of that church and our house, the parsonage, was next door to the church. I was seven years old.
I remember standing outside in the cold, wrapped in a blanket and shivering.
The whole sky all around me was lit-up by the raging fire. Scores of people gathered to watch the event while countless people rushed into our house to bring all of our worldly goods outside as fast as possible.
Men stood on the roof of the house with garden hoses, hoping to prevent the fire from burning our house.
The next morning, on the front page of the Lamesa Press-Reporter and other newspapers in West Texas, was a photograph of my father weeping in front of the burning church.
I am told that his friend, standing beside him, kept repeating, "We'll build it back", but my father knew that he could never recover his sermon notes, his classroom notes from college and seminary or his library.
As Notre Dame burned, I began to inquire among family members about that newspaper picture, but no one knew where it was.
I couldn't believe that we had lost that picture!
On a whim, I contacted the Lamesa Press-Reporter, and a courteous stranger on the phone suggested that I send an email to the publisher of the paper. I wondered if I would ever hear back.
I confess that I was skeptical about ever finding that picture or the article.
Within just a little over an hour, publisher Russel Skiles emailed back, stating he would look for the article, and by that evening, he had found the article with the picture of my dad and had sent it to me.
I was thrilled!
I assumed he was busy, meeting deadlines, and so I was shocked at the promptness of response. Even more, every person I have told about this event was surprised, which has made me wonder, "Have we forgotten the power of random acts of kindness"?
There is no way I can fully express how important this newspaper article is to me and to my family. And there is no way I can fully express the impact of the kindness of Russel Skiles.
Part of the family lore which my mother loved to tell about that Lamesa fire was about her fragile crystal goblets, treasured gifts from the members of First Baptist Church in Sweetwater, a former pastorate.
Those delicate stems of crystal were hastily removed from the house and placed on the sidewalk where the scores of people were milling about.
"And not one stem was broken," my mother would say, holding one of them up with a smile. Somehow, that the crystal was not broken became symbolic to our family.
I just learned last week that over the next year, because of the spread of that newspaper article, people sent my father countless books or money to replenish his library.
Russel Skiles' kindness to me on a day when Notre Dame was burning was symbolic.
Kindness and Hope are still alive, and what really matters never dies.

The Helena Symphony Continues 6Oth Season With the Sacred & the Seductive
Posted by hso September 30, 2014
On Saturday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Helena Civic Center, the Helena Symphony Orchestra & Chorale continues its 60th Anniversary Season with a concert titled The Sacred & The Seductive, featuring music by American legend Aaron Copland, French composer Maurice Ravel, and the Symphony's Composer in Residence Kile Smith. The title alludes to an Americana spirituality in the music of the two American composers (Copland and Kile Smith) juxtaposed with Ravel's evocative and atmospheric Daphnis and Chloé, considered one of the great masterworks of the last century.
The concert opens with Copland's lighthearted, humorous, and intimate Old American Songs performed by the HSO and nationally-noted Baritone Ron Loyd. "The Old American Songs have taken their place among Copland's best-loved works," says Music Director Allan R. Scott. "Each of the songs absorbs the many different American musical traditions that have been passed down in hymnals, children's nursery rhymes, and the oral tradition, and they are held together by the unity of Copland's style of depicting an America of innocence, opportunity, optimism, and hope."
The music of Helena Symphony Composer in Residence Kile Smith has been praised by audiences and critics for its "emotional power, direct appeal, and strong voice." Gramophone Magazine hailed Smith's music for its "sparkling beauty," and the Philadelphia City Paper raved that his music is "almost preternaturally beautiful." Mr. Smith has worked as composer in residence for several ensembles, and his music has been performed by orchestras and choruses around the world, including the Delaware Symphony, Grand Rapids Symphony, Philadelphia Classical Orchestra, Jackson Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra, Virginia Chorale, and the Sofia Philharmonic of Bulgaria, to name a few.
As part of this residency, Mr. Smith is writing two new works for the Helena Symphony Orchestra. The first work, Gold and Silver, was premiered in in July at the Symphony Under the Stars to celebrate the 150th birthday of the City of Helena, and it will be performed again at the Symphony's 60th Anniversary Concert in May 2015, and the second new work (yet to be composed) will be premiered by the HSO and Cellist Ovidiu Marinescu in January 2015.
The Helena Symphony Orchestra & Chorale will also perform Smith's Psalm 46 for baritone solo, chorus, and orchestra. Composed in 2004, Smith's Psalm 46 uses the text of the well-known psalm to convey a powerful transformation from fear to acceptance. Smith explains that "the words of this psalm forces me to confront things I might not want to confront – desolation, death, and destruction – there is no getting around it." Yet the work offers incredible moments of reflection, as we seek our own personal refuge. "Kile's music suggests that after we surrender and we are willing to be still, we will have a spiritual coming of age," explains Maestro Scott. "As with so much great music, when we stop, we may lose it all; but in letting go, we have gained everything."
The performance culminates with Maurice Ravel's masterpiece Daphnis and Chloé. There are very few composers who have the true gift of orchestrating a piece of music like a painting – complete with invention, craft, precision, and perfection of color. Maurice Ravel, one of the most quintessentially French composers, possessed the rare ability to express the ultimate goal of any artistic language – to capture the inexplicable or inexpressible through the delicate balance of craft and inspiration. Composed as a ballet, the passionate tale Daphnis and Chloé is considered by most to be Ravel's greatest work. "Ravel uses his renowned abilities to orchestrate a work to create a world that envelopes the listener with elegant sensuality, mysteriousness, and dream-like atmospheres," says Maestro Scott.
Interviews with Maestro Scott and Composer Kile Smith may be scheduled through the Helena Symphony (406.442.1860).
In addition to this past summer's Symphony Under the Stars, the Non-Series Concert Series also include the Christmas in the Cathedral, and the 60th Anniversary Concert featuring Beethoven's immortal Ninth Symphony. The FREE Education Concerts include four Symphony Kids concerts and the annual Youth Concert throughout the Season. Given the overwhelming success of the Magical Music of Disney in July, the Symphony's annual Symphony in the City is a trip for 4 to Disneyland, who also celebrates their 60th Anniversary. Tickets for the Non-Series Concerts and the Symphony in the City raffle are on sale now.
Pro-rated subscriptions are still available. To subscribe to the 2014-2015 Season, subscriptions can be purchased on line at helenasymphony.org, or by calling the Symphony Box Office (406.442.1860), or at the Symphony Box Office located at new offices on the Walking Mall at the Livestock Building (2 N. Last Chance Gulch, Suite 1) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

A prospective Republican Presidential candidate has thrown his weight behind support for increased skilled immigration to the US.
In his first major economic speech earlier this week, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the son of former President George Bush and brother of ex President George W Bush, stated his belief that the US economy should be growing by at least 4 per cent a year, and that increasing skilled immigration was the key to getting there.
Although Bush's speech did not refer directly to the roughly 11 million people living in the US illegally who current President Obama has evoked Executive Action to see them offered a pathway to citizenship, he has previously stated that he is open to allowing people in the country illegally to stay, but only after taking a series of steps, such as paying unpaid taxes.
The position puts him at odds with some of the Republican Party's most passionate voters – who are strongly against such measures.


You'll want to understand the benefits and safety measures before choosing the best L-Tryptophan supplement. This is important as L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that could change the level of important neurotransmitter in your body.
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid needed by the body to regulate our emotional wellness, such as preventing over anxious respond and calming our mind from stress. However, L-Tryptophan is not produced in the body and is only available by consuming protein in plants and meat.
Turkey is one of the commonly cited sources of L-Tryptophan but is often linked to drowsiness that follows. Here are other L-Tryptophan-riched foods where you can derive the essential amino acid.
You may have realized that our brain is an ultra-complex network of billions of brain cells. These tiny cells are connected by neurotransmitters to transmit messages to each other. Serotonin is a major neurotransmitter that provides neural-pathway for the tiny brain cells.
The lack of serotonin has been linked to an increased in anxious thoughts and overreaction to stress. When you're under a distressful situation, your the serotonin level in your brain reduces, and fight-or-flight hormones like adrenaline are produced in excess.
This suggestion is not unproven. In fact, a clinical study where 25 participants are given a high intake of L-Tryptophan diets shows a decrease in anxiety and depressive symptoms after four days.
What happens when you take L-Tryptophan is that the amino acid is converted into 5-HTP, an amino acid precursor that is later broken down into serotonin, melatonin and vitamin B6. This is how the necessary hormones are produced for reducing stress and sleep.
Here are potential health benefits that are associated with L-Tryptophan.
Reduces anxiety – Studies have indicated that L-Tryptophan is effective in reducing anxiety when prescribed at a controlled dosage.
It Helps With Depression – L-Tryptophan is equally effective in reducing depressive disorders as it is with its equally crippling cousin, anxiety. The increase in serotonin as the L-Tryptophan is broken down proves to be effective in lifting a depression-stricken person's mood.
Reduces Severity Of Migraines – Migraines can ruin the day of a perfectly energetic person. The pulsing one-sided headache has long been linked to the low level of serotonin. Taking L-Tryptophan boosts serotonin level and thus helps reduce the occurrence and severity of migraines.
Helps With Sleep Disorders – Besides serotonin, L-Tryptophan is also converted into melatonin. Melatonin is a sleep hormone that is naturally produced when the body senses a dark surrounding. It helps to prepare the body and mind for sleep. Therefore, taking this essential amino acid can help in regulating your circadian cycle.
It Promotes Weight Loss – L-Tryptophan is NOT your miracle weight loss pill, but it plays an important role to ensure your body metabolism is at its optimum level. Besides helping your weight loss regime, it also ensures that you experience less fatigue and increased endurance.
It alleviates pain: L-Tryptophan is also linked to improving pain tolerance when taken orally.
Reduces Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder: Studies have pointed to the positive effect of L-Tryptophan in reducing PMDD, a debilitating physical and emotional symptoms that affect women severely.
L-Tryptophan supplements may be one of the most potent remedies for reducing stress, but taking it at an incorrect dosage can cause serious side effects. It is sold as a supplement and not as a drug. As such, there are no standards in determining the dosage although 500 mg is regularly recommended for a regular supplement.
If you're taking L-Tryptophan to address your stress or other health issues, the following table provided by the University Of Michigan will be helpful.
L-Tryptophan is sometimes taken for addressing other health issues. If you're in doubt of the right dosage of L-Tryptophan, always consult your doctor for clarifications.
While there is a suspicion that suggests the cases are attributed to contaminated L-Tryptophan products, it results in a massive recall of the amino acid supplements.
There is insufficient research to suggest the safety of L-Tryptophan for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is recommended that expecting women and lactating mums should stop taking L-Tryptophan.
The question of how long L-Tryptophan starts providing relaxing effect does not warrant a straight forward answer. While it may take only 30 minutes for L-Tryptophan to enter your bloodstream, you'll only benefit from the positive effect when it was converted to 5-HTP and ultimately, serotonin and melatonin.
Assuming that your body doesn't have any problems in doing that, you should be feeling calmer not long after taking L-Tryptophan.
Considering the potency of L-Tryptophan, you wouldn't want to choose the cheapest supplement that you come across on the shelf. Instead, it pays to evaluate these factors before making a decision.
Dosage – The first consideration is the dosage of the L-Tryptophan. While you'll want the dosage on the safe spectrum, you do not want it to be too weak to bring any benefits. A minimum of 500 mg commonly recommended for a regular supplement.
Safety And Purity – Manufacturing and testing are two important elements that determine the purity, potency, and safety of the supplement that you received. Certifications like cGMP, Gluten-Free or third-party tested are bonus points.
Manufacturer Reputation – You want to buy your L-Tryptophan supplements from manufacturers that have a proven track record. Thanks to the internet, you'll get to read reviews on some of the manufacturer's website, and that will give you a general idea of the quality of the products.
While L-Tryptophan is usually sold at local pharmacies, many consumers are turning to online suppliers to get the supplement. You can visit the reputable supplement manufacturers that sell L-Tryptophan on their online store, or try to get better-priced products at Amazon. Besides, you get to compare reviews to determine the best L-Tryptophan product for you.

Mr. Perry sent Mr. Obama a letter Wednesday certifying that Texas also would accept stimulus money.
"I remain opposed to using these funds to expand existing government programs, burdening the state with ongoing expenditures long after the funding has dried up," Mr. Perry wrote, clearly expressing his opposition to unfunded mandates.
Mr. Obama has promised that his administration will use federal funds to support his administration's initiatives.
"[Mr. Obama does] not support imposing unfunded mandates on states and localities. They strongly support providing necessary funding for programs such as No Child Left Behind," his campaign literature said.
Mr. Brogdon said prospects for passage of his resolution are "grand," noting that a similar bill passed the Oklahoma House by a 97-3 vote last year and that Republicans captured a majority of the Oklahoma Senate in the 2008 elections. He predicted that the Legislature would easily override a veto from Gov. Brad Henry, a Democrat.
Mr. Obama proposed a slew of expensive programs during his presidential campaign, ranging from health insurance to policies addressing alternative energy and climate change. "The states are worried that these programs would increase the overall regulatory burden without providing the funding," Mr. Alt said.
Some analysts dispute the financial impact of recent unfunded mandates on state budgets.
The reality is that states are being "hypocritical," he said, noting that about a third of average total state spending comes from the federal government.
The biggest federal grants involve Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides health care for the poor.
"States were adding Medicaid benefits when times were good. Now the federal government must bail the states out through the so-called stimulus bill because the states' revenues have taken a hit and they must operate under a balanced-budget mandate," Mr. DeHaven said.
In 2007, according to the Congressional Budget Office, states collectively spent $1 billion for unfunded federal mandates from programs enacted since the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, said Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
"To a large degree, states are scapegoating their budget problems on Washington," Mr. Riedl said. "It's tough to be sympathetic for states and local governments when they got $467 billion in federal grants last year," he said.
Mr. Riedl also rejected the notion that the No Child Left Behind Act constitutes an unfunded mandate. States are free to opt out of this and many other federal programs by not accepting federal money in exchange for federal regulations. States have effectively decided that the federal dollars are worth the strings attached to them, Mr. Riedl concluded.
The other major unfunded federal mandate that predates the 1995 law is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). However, federal funding for IDEA has grown 71 percent faster than inflation since 2001, Mr. Riedl said.
Mr. Brogdon of Oklahoma did not take issue with that. "Federal law does not trump the Constitution," he said.
He suggested that if he becomes governor, the federal courts likely will get a case involving the 10th Amendment and congressional powers.

Langhus ends nearly 50-year scouting journey
Jim Langhus attended his final meeting as scoutmaster of Monona's Troop 38 last week, ending 48 years of involvement with the Boy Scouts. Here, he stands in front of the list of boys who became Eagle Scouts. (Submitted photo)
Some of the most memorable moments over the years, said Langhus (far left), included helping and encouraging the kids to push themselves to new heights, sometimes literally. (Submitted photo)
By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times Editor
Jim Langhus attended his final meeting as scoutmaster of Monona's Troop 38 last week, ending 48 years of involvement with the Boy Scouts.
Langhus said his scouting journey began when he was 6 years old, following in his older brother's footsteps. After growing up largely in Rochester, Minn., then moving to Mitchell, S.D., he fell just short of becoming an Eagle Scout. Although Langhus admitted he doesn't dwell on it too much, he said it is one of the reasons why he encouraged kids to stick with scouting.
"It gets tough to finish because there are so many other things going on in their lives," he said. "But every time there's an Eagle Scout ceremony, it's really powerful and exciting."
Langhus said eight to 10 boys have become Eagle Scouts while he's been in Monona. That's just one high point in a scouting career that's included receiving the silver beaver distinguished service award and the district award of merit, as well as resurrecting several area troops.
That first troop was in Decorah, where Langhus became a leader after working at a scout camp for several years following high school.
"I changed the way I did stuff," Langhus said of becoming a leader. "I was used to following my brother. As a leader, you have to be out of your shell and get crazy."
Scouting allowed him to do that.
Langhus was scoutmaster in Decorah for four years before joining the Peace Corps and serving in Lesotho, in Africa, for three years. When he returned to the U.S., he ran the hatchery at Backbone State Park, then worked at Osborne in Elkader.
"Scouting caught up with me again," he said. "I found out the Elkader troop had died, so I started it up and kept it going for five years. It's still going today."
Langhus also served as roundtable chair and training chair and on the district camping committee, but some of those commitments had to go when he got married, received his teaching certification and moved to Lansing. There, he started a Cub Pack that was falling away.
After two years there, he and his family moved to Monona, where Langhus taught science for 26 years. He and his wife, Linette, were Cub Scout den leaders, and Langhus also served as the Cub master for several years. He was the committee chair of the troop in the mid-1990s and took over as scoutmaster in the fall of 1999.
Langhus was quick to credit others for helping him run each troop.
"It wasn't just me. There was always a group," he explained. "My wife also took up the slack [at home]. She was really as much a leader as I was. She just wasn't seen as much."
Langhus said giving up the scouting reins was a tough decision, admitting that age and energy level played a factor.
"I still know a lot and I can still do a lot, but the kids need young leaders," he said. "You have to look forward in terms of the organization and, right now, we have a lot of good, energetic families. It was a good time to make the switch."
As with teaching, Langhus said the thing he'll miss the most about scouting is the kids.
"I enjoyed watching the kids grow up and accept challenges," he said. "I liked to push them past their limits. People can do so much more than they give themselves credit for."
Some of the most memorable moments over the years, said Langhus, were when the kids pushed themselves to new heights, sometimes literally. The troop made several trips to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and the Spanish Peaks in Colorado, where they traversed some pretty high terrain, including a 12,400-foot peak.
"It's seeing the kids who wanted to give up finally make it," he said. "When you see that smile, that's the cool thing."
He's also taken scouts on several trips to the remote boundary waters in Minnesota. They've been snowed in and even had an "ice camp" in the Yellow River Forest.
It's all about helping and encouraging the boys to take good risks, Langhus said. Scouting also teaches them life and leadership skills. The kids might not think they'll need to know how to tie a good knot or start a fire, but it will come in handy, he explained.
"It also helps them understand how to be a good group member, a good citizen, knowing that they're part of the community, the state, the world," he said. "What they put in makes it a better place for everyone."
As a self-described "boy at heart," Langhus said he'll also miss participating in the activities, especially camping.
"I like to be active and doing things. That's why I've done it for so long," he noted. "Leaders have to enjoy it as much as the kids in order to hold and draw the kids' attention."
His scouting journey won't officially end here, though, said Langhus. He'll continue to help out at summer camp and teach merit badges if requested.
"I enjoy it so much, so I just can't walk away," he said. "It's been fun, and it will continue to be fun."

Theater Info for North Dakota
ShowBizRadio loves live theater! And we want you to love the theater too! But how can you love it, if you don't attend? Or can't find one? Or aren't sure what to expect? Our goal is to make it easier for you to support local live theater. We feature:
a complete schedule of upcoming shows
audition schedule for upcoming shows
reviews of shows
information about different theater groups in the area
a cross referenced listing of the shows performed by groups in the region over the past 75 years
Ideally, we would love for you to attend a few shows, fall in love with live theatre and then get involved with a local theater. Most community theaters need all kinds of help, both on stage and backstage.
Laura Clark was born in Gainesville, FL. In 1979 her family moved to Southern California. It was in elementary school that Laura caught the acting bug. In high school, Laura performed in her school plays, including Mousetrap, Meip in the Diary of Anne Frank, Mrs. Pierce in Pygmalion, and Arsenic and Old Lace. Laura attended Virginia Tech and in 1993 graduated with a degree in Communication Studies. While in college, Laura was still able to get her fill of live theater by ushering for the traveling musicals that came through Blacksburg. In 2003, Laura appeared at the Northern Virginia Community College (Woodbridge Campus) performances of Lysistrata and Macbeth. Laura portrayed five different roles in Celebrate Virginia's Thanksgiving 2007 production of Captain John Smith: HiStory of McLean and Great Falls and was the narrator in NWTG's production of The Least Offensive Play in the Whole Darn World. Laura also serves as assistant stage manager.
Mike Clark was born in Newport News, Virginia. He graduated from Virginia Tech, with a Bachelor of Arts in Geography, and a Masters of Public Administration. Mike and Laura married in 1995, and moved to Northern Virginia in 1999. While attending Cherrydale Baptist Church, we led the Salt and Light drama ministry. Mike found that his talent was more in the director's chair while Laura was drawn more to acting and performing. Mike directed the dramatic portions of the full-length Easter musical The Choice. We occasionally appear in plays (usually Christmas and Easter musicals) at Occoquan Bible Church in Woodbridge, Virginia. In October 2006, Mike appeared as Tom in William Saroyan's The Time of Your Life, and wrote about the experience. Mike portrayed nine different roles in Celebrate Virginia's Thanksgiving 2007 production of Captain John Smith: HiStory of McLean and Great Falls. Mike stage managed, designed sound, operated the sound board, and assisted with props and lighting design for NWTG's summer 2008 productions of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and The Least Offensive Play in the Whole Darn World.

Engagement, Baby and Beyond: Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev's Cutest Moments Prove They're Endgame
Updated: Aug 3, 2020 9:19 am·
By Laura Rizzo
She's a Genie in a Bikini! Christina Aguilera's Best Swimsuit Pictures
Couple goals! Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev's cutest moments prove they're endgame. From their sweet engagement to becoming parents, the Total Bellas star and Dancing With the Stars pro have been heating up our feeds since they were first romantically connected in 2019. However, their history goes back even farther.
Inside Nikki Bella and Artem's Whirlwind Romance
The pair's friendship blossomed while they were partners on the dance competition show in 2017. At the time, Nikki was still with her on-and-off fiancé John Cena. They revealed that they called it quits for good after six years together in July 2018. She and Artem started (slowly) taking their platonic relationship to the next level the following January.
Although they were frequently spotted getting cozy, Nikki didn't confirm they were dating until March 2019. "Yes, we are dating. Yes, I spend the night at his house," she said on "The Bellas Podcast" at the time. "Yes, we have date lunches at Joan's on Third and we like to get food for his house — or should I say, produce from the farmer's markets. So, let's consider this rumor killed."
They took their time getting involved, but once they committed, they were all in. In June 2019, the brunette beauty gushed over just how special the hunky dancer is. "Happy Birthday to a man who not only makes my face smile but my heart," she wrote on Instagram. "You're a special one, Mr. Chigvintsev! Your relaxing, calm, patient, kind, happy energy and aura is contagious! You truly are the kindest soul I have ever met. Thank you for bringing a lot of sunshine into my life. Happy Birthday, my Artem."
The feeling is definitely mutual. The Russian stud expressed his strong feelings about Nikki after they made their first public appearance at the Kids Choice Awards in July 2019. "You are my rock, my number one, the good ending to a bad day and the best start to a new day, you are my soulmate," he captioned a cozy red carpet photo of the two.
These Pics Prove Nikki and Brie Bella Have the Cutest Baby Bumps
In October 2019, Nikki dished exclusively to Life & Style about how she and Artem started living together. "I was supposed to do a show in New Zealand right when my lease was up. Then I couldn't do the show but had given up my place, so I was like 'Hey, can I live with you?'" the reality babe divulged.
The adorable couple is in it for the long haul. They got engaged in France in November 2019 and announced in January 2020 that they were expecting their first child together. They welcomed their new bundle of joy — a baby boy — the following August. Needless to say, they have very big things ahead.

Lifetime health invited us to display some Toyota automobiles throughout their Poolapalooza this weekend. These are just several fitness packages within the Lifetime Fitness Health club that may provide help to attain your health goals. Getting your young athletes in shape will enable them to be a step forward of the competition and more ready for the next stage of their athletic careers. We're excited about these new choices for eating, health and leisure in Buckhead! That is perhaps not quite the case this time round but, I've already renewed my local fitness center membership and plan on getting operating/biking/swimming (seems like a triathlon there!) more in order that my baseline health is again to an excellent stage by the point I am back in an workplace and I've the bug to stick with it!
For a lot of the modern health software, the EZ Swimmer makes swimming laps and target firming the legs an pleasing fitness activity. Maintaining an everyday train and a healthy diet as part of a lifetime effort is one of the best ways to achieve lifetime fitness as it is way more influential on our bodies to continue the efforts slightly than cease and begin like so many of us do once we grow unmotivated. The answer may be an easy one resembling a number of days' rest or you might have to vary the habits of a lifetime to search out some relief.
I have always wanted the fairly life growing my own veg's and looking after animals which is next to unattainable within the UK with the land prices. Surveillance video shows Austin entering the membership July 12, but she's by no means seen coming out, and her car remained in the parking lot for the 2 days before she was found, Loftus said. Lifetime requested if she can be comfy giving them again the credit card so they could recharge the complete amount and then refund it once more.
Various necessary providers might also entice members to the Life Health packages and gymnasiums resembling youngster center, life spa and salon, operating membership and personal trainers. A mesh bag all the time comes in handy for transporting moist sneakers, wet fits, wet health tools from place to put. A comprehensive health class geared for each newcomers to advanced individuals. Learn how Crossfit has mixed functional motion with high intensity train to construct the next degree of fitness. Upon completion of Lifetime Health, students will have the ability to meet the following outcomes.
Backside line: Lifetime Fitness recognizes that dance is an athletic activity, and it has fulfilled every of the guarantees that it made to me when I signed up. I'm very happy that I switched. Lifetime Fitness golf equipment are costlier variations on regular gyms but they are a private enterprise and failure to stick to the rules might result in a ban. That is what Tami Zurbay he promised to Fitness Time Life Deep Water Aerobics class. I am having fun with discovering my groove (and performing Justin Timberlake hits while on stage at American Idol in my thoughts) while I run by way of Lifetime.

A Child to Child partner since 2014, CEDET is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the social and economic development of Peruvians of African descent (Afro-Peruvians) through research and community outreach. CEDET also strives to promote Afro-Peruvian culture and understanding to help eradicate the racism experienced by the descendants of African slaves brought to Peru between the 16th -19th centuries by the Spaniards. Slavery was banned in Peru in 1854, but Afro-Peruvians continue to experience profound discrimination in housing, education, business, and economic opportunities.
In presenting the award, the French ambassador to Peru, Fabrice Mauriès, noted CEDET's advocacy work. This work entails ongoing monitoring of Afro-Peruvians' human rights at the community level through participation in local Vigilance Committees.
Trained in Child to Child's 6-step methodology, the Palenques Infantiles facilitators create safe places for ostracised and marginalised children to find their voice and create community. The Palenques Infantiles are not limited to Afro-Peruvian children, but all the children of the neighbourhood who represent Peru's diverse ethnic groups with roots in the Andes, the Amazon, and the coastal areas. The children meet under a banner that states "Ser Feliz es mi Color de Identidad – Sin Racismo, Sin Discriminación" ("Happiness is the Colour of my Identity, Without Racism or Discrimination"). In these safe circles children explore and take pride in their heritage, and learn acceptance and tolerance from each other.
In preparation for their first anniversary in late 2015, the Palenqueros studied and created traditional Afro-Peruvian masks and musical instruments. Masks and music have a special role in society to construct and convey an identity, and by creating masks and learning to play traditional instruments like "boxes" and "mule jaws," the children began to understand themselves and their communities within a historical context. They build their identity, and by doing so, build their resilience against intolerance and discrimination.
Sociologists describe three principal areas in building resilience that can be expressed as "I am," "I can," and "I have." The Palenques Infantiles promote all three areas as they help the children develop their identity, realise their potential, and become aware of their own personal and community resources, including the love and support of their fellow Afro-Peruvians.

Q: How to prompt a user while the OAuth modal is already open in React Native I'm trying to handle the account-exists-with-different-credential error as part of the firebase authentication process.  My end goal is to enable the "One account per email address" and link the accounts with the same email addresses using linkWithCredential.
Let's say the user has already registered with email/password using some@gmail.com, which is in the firebase database. When the user tries to login with the Google OAuth using the same email, some@email.com, I want to prompt the user to enter the password for the first email/password account so that the user is verified and the two accounts be linked.
The problem is Expo's Google or Facebook OAuth opens up a slide-in modal for the OAuth authentication and I'm not sure how to prompt the user for the password while the modal is open. When I Navigation.navigate() to another screen while the modal is open, the modal inevitably closes.  React Native's Alert doesn't have an input feature, either.
Following is how I'm handling the error:
if (error.code === 'auth/email-already-in-use' || error.code === 'auth/credential-already-in-use' || error.code === 'auth/account-exists-with-different-credential') {
    const pendingCred = error.credential
    const email = error.email
    firebase
        .auth()
        .fetchSignInMethodsForEmail(email)
        .then(methods => {
            if (methods[0] === 'password') {
                 // somehow prompt the user for password
                const password = promptUserForPassword()
                firebase
                    .auth()
                    .signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
                    .then(user => {
                        return user.linkWithCredential(pendingCred)
                    })
                    .then(() => {
                        goToApp();
                    })
            }
        })
    return;

La gare de Sedan est une gare ferroviaire française de la ligne de Mohon à Thionville située dans le quartier de Torcy de la ville de Sedan dans le département des Ardennes, en région Grand Est.

C'est une gare voyageurs de la Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) desservie par le TGV et par des trains TER Grand Est.

Situation ferroviaire
Établie à  d'altitude, la gare de Sedan est située au point kilométrique (PK) 158,515 de la ligne de Mohon à Thionville, entre les gares ouvertes de Donchery et de Carignan.

Histoire
En 1839, un projet envisage la construction de deux lignes de chemin de fer au départ de Sedan , l'une vers la Belgique via Charleville, Rimogne et Rocroi, l'autre vers le Lorraine. Mais, sous l'impulsion de Laurent Cunin-Gridaine, alors ministre du Commerce et de l'Agriculture, pourtant né à Sedan, un autre projet est retenu reliant Paris à Reims, puis filant de Reims vers Rethel et Mézières. Seul le tronçon de Paris à Reims est réalisé. Un embranchement est envisagé de Reims vers Sedan, mais ne se fait pas. L'abandon du projet initial va peser sur l'évolution économique du pays sedanais. Durant le Second Empire, une voie de chemin de fer est créée de Reims à Charleville (reliée pour la première fois en ), puis de Charleville à Donchery (en ), et finalement jusqu'à Sedan (en ). Paris-Sedan se fait en six heures cinq. La station d'arrivée à Sedan n'est alors qu'une gare provisoire, construite en bois, à Torcy, en dehors des remparts sedanais (la ville étant encore ceinturée de remparts). La ligne est prolongée les années suivantes jusque Carignan puis Mouzon.

Les remparts sont détruits entre 1877 et 1884. Le , le conseil municipal de Sedan décide de l'emplacement de la gare définitive de Sedan, sur un emplacement en lieu et place de l'ancienne porte de Wadelincourt. L'architecte de ce projet est M. Hénon. Les travaux se terminent le . Ce jour-là, la municipalité prend place dans un convoi spécial pour un trajet assez court, qui va de l'ancienne gare à la nouvelle gare. Le , le premier train en provenance de Paris fait son entrée dans la nouvelle gare de Sedan. Le nouveau bâtiment, de style néoclassique, est d'aspect imposant et richement décoré.

Dans les années suivantes, la ville de Sedan est également reliée à Verdun par Pont-Maugis et, en 1910, à Bouillon par une ligne secondaire empruntant la vallée de la Givonne (ligne supprimée en 1933).

Avant de quitter les Ardennes en , les Allemands font sauter le pavillon central de la gare. Seules les ailes latérales restent intactes. Il est reconstruit après la guerre.

La gare de Sedan est réaménagée en 2007. Elle est équipée de nouvelles technologies (caméras, écrans plats...) et dotée d'un souterrain avec ascenseur. La gare possède plusieurs services comme un Relay (presse) et  un restaurant sur le quai . Des bornes TER y sont installées ainsi que des distributeurs et un Photomaton.

Fréquentation
Selon les estimations de la SNCF, la fréquentation annuelle de la gare figure dans le tableau ci-dessous.

Service des voyageurs

Accueil
Gare SNCF, elle dispose d'un bâtiment voyageurs, avec guichet, ouvert tous les jours. Elle est notamment équipée, d'automates pour l'achat de titres de transport, d'une salle d'attente et d'un quai couvert.

La gare possède plusieurs services comme un Relay (presse) et  un restaurant sur le quai . Des bornes TER y sont installées ainsi que des distributeurs et un Photomaton.

Desserte
Sedan est desservie par des  en provenance ou à destination de Paris-Est (via notamment la , Reims et Charleville-Mézières, où ils effectuent un rebroussement), et des trains régionaux du réseau  (lignes de Reims à Metz-Ville et de ).

Intermodalité
Un parc pour les vélos et un parking pour les véhicules y sont installés. Elle est desservie par les transports en commun routiers : des bus urbains du réseau SedanBus (lignes : A, A1 et B) ; des cars RDTA (lignes : 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 16 et 24) ; des cars MEUNIER (ligne au fil de la Meuse) ainsi que des autocars TER Grand Est (ligne de Sedan à La Ferté-sur-Chiers).

Patrimoine ferroviaire

Le bâtiment voyageurs, construit en 1884 est de style néoclassique.

Il est constitué d'un pavillon central à étage de cinq travées flanqué de deux ailes symétriques de huit travées, sans étage ; la façade est en pierre de taille.

Les percements du rez-de-chaussée recourent tous à l'arc en plein cintre et sont de dimensions variables avec une alternance d'arcs larges et étroits sur les ailes latérales. L'étage possède des fenêtres rectangulaires surmontées d'entablements. La toiture de l'ensemble est à deux croupes et l'horloge de la gare est disposée au centre en surplomb de la corniche.

Après la Première Guerre mondiale, le pavillon central, dont rien ne subsistait, a été reconstruit à l'identique avec cependant quelques détails différents :
 Le nouveau corps central est plus profond que l'ancien, d'où un décrochement plus important côté rue ;
 Les toitures des ailes ont deux croupes au lieu d'une seule ;
 La façade du corps central voit ses six pilastres cannelés remplacés par quatre pilastres à refends et les trois travées centrales ne sont plus séparées par des pilastres ;
 Les deux travées extrêmes du corps central sont plus avancées côté rue, que le reste de la façade ;
 La corniche du corps central ainsi que l'encadrement de l'horloge ont un aspect différent ;
 En revanche, un grand nombre de détails tels que les cheminées et la forme des baies ont été reproduits à l'identique.

Bulldogs will try for series victory on Sunday.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Louisiana Tech baseball team held off a late-charging UAB squad, and took a 7-6 victory on Saturday afternoon from Regions Field.
Tech (18-7, 4-1 C-USA) evened up the series with the Blazers (10-11, 3-2 C-USA), setting up a crucial rubber match Sunday at 1 p.m.
Tech designated hitter Hunter Wells paced the offense, going 4-for-5 at the plate with a pair of RBIs and two runs scored. Mason Robinson added a pair of RBIs on a 2-for-3 effort, while Mason Mallard (3-for-4, two runs) and Parker Bates (2-for-4, one RBI) also notched multiple-hit efforts.
Tech starter Logan Robbins (5-0) went seven innings, giving up six hits, four runs (all earned) and three strikeouts along with three walks. Robbins cruised through the first three innings, giving up a walk in the first, and then sitting down eight consecutive Blazers.
UAB got to Robbins in the seventh, tagging the lefty for three runs on four hits. The southpaw buckled down, however, and ended his afternoon with an emphatic swinging strikeout. Tech improved to 6-0 in games started by Robbins this season.
After being stymied for no runs on just four hits on Friday night, the Tech offense wasted no time in getting some early runs for Robbins. Leadoff man Hunter Wells lined the very first pitch of the game into left for a single, and came home to score on an infield hit from Mason Mallard, followed by an ensuing throwing error by the UAB pitcher, Ryan Ruggles. Mallard then came home to score on an RBI single for Mason Robinson. Following the flurry of activity, Robbins owned a 2-0 lead before even having to step on the mound.
Tech tacked on a run in the third after a sac fly from Bates brought home Mallard, who led off the inning with a double, and then moved to third after a Robinson single.
Leading 3-1, UAB starter Ryan Ruggles (0-1) worked around some traffic in the fifth, before the Bulldogs blew up for a four spot in the sixth.
Tech first baseman Graham Hackbarth, the only Birmingham native on the team, led things off with an apparent infield single that was scored an error on the pitcher Ruggles. Jonathan Parker then drove a single into center, bringing up Wells, who wasted no time in tripling to deep left center field, scoring both Hackbarth and Parker, and putting Tech ahead 5-1. Shortstop Dalton Skelton then walked, extending his reached-base streak to 20 games.
Then, the only Bulldog with a longer streak of getting on base, in Tanner Huddleston, blooped a Texas leaguer just over the UAB second baseman, scoring Wells from third. Robinson capped off the four-run inning with a sac fly to right field, scoring Skelton.
However, the Blazers rallied for three runs off Robbins in the seventh, and drew to within three, at 7-4. Senior Graham Ahlrich entered in the eighth, and allowed a hit and a run, but secured two big outs, and worked around an error.
Burroughs then called on junior Braxton Smith, who induced a groundout to second, ending the inning.
Smith came back out for the ninth, with a two-run lead, looking to nail down the four-out save, and ran into some trouble. The Blazers used back-to-back-to-back singles with two outs to tack on a run, cutting the Tech lead to just one. The with runners at the corners and the winning run on first, Smith put out the fire and induced a lazy fly ball to Robinson in the left, locking down Smith's fourth save of 2018.


I thought I'd show off two of my recent acquisitions--a flat-top Ruger Blackhawk and a new Mark IV Target .22. I highly recommend the Mark IV, the ease of disassembly is mind-boggling compared to the earlier Marks. I'm a traditionalist and usually eschew the "latest and greatest" innovations, but this is one upgrade of a classic design I can endorse without hesitation!
The Blackhawk is an early one with a four-digit serial number. I wasn't a fan of the stag grips at first, but they have grown on me!
I highly recommend the Mark IV, the ease of disassembly is mind-boggling compared to the earlier Marks.
Both pistol look very nice... But please elaborate on what makes it easier...???
I like the stag grips also..
Thanks. The Mark IV has a disasssembly button at the rear, that when pressed, allows the upper receiver to rotate up and off of the lower frame. The earlier Marks needed the mainspring to be removed at the rear of the grip to allow the bolt assembly to be removed. Reassembly of the mainspring assembly required careful alignment of the mating parts between the bolt assembly and the fire control group, complicated because you had to sort of go by feel.
It's easier now than separating the upper and lower receivers of an AR-15.
Nice looking pistols - now I'm itching to take my Blackhawks out for a spin.

Q: Update dataframe cells according to match cells within another dataframe in pandas I have two dataframes :
df1
Groups Names COL1 COL2
G1     SP1   1    2
G1     SP6   3    4
G2     SP2   5    6
G2     SP4   7    8

df2
Groups Names COL1 COL2 COL3
G1     SP1   9    10   A
G1     SP6   11   12   B
G1     SP7   8    21   C
G2     SP2   13   14   D
G2     SP4   15   16   E
G3     SP7   21   90   F
G4     SP9   12   83   H

And I just whant to update df2 according to df1 where Groups and Names match and replace by the value within the df1's cells.
I should then get :
Groups Names COL1 COL2 COL3
G1     SP1   1    2    A
G1     SP6   3    4    B
G1     SP7   8    21   C
G2     SP2   5    6    D
G2     SP4   7    8    E
G3     SP7   21   90   F
G4     SP9   12   83   H

Does somoene have an idea please ?

Guess what? For corporations, social media doesn't scale.
Below is my keynote presentation at the Ragan Cisco conference in the heart of silicon valley in San Jose today. I was asked to present, where I see the future of social business, and I believe that many companies are headed towards a very challening cross roads: they won't be able to scale.
Why can't businesses scale with social technologies? If you work for a healthy company, you'll always have more customers than employees. As social network adoption continues to move "up and to the right" in adoption graphs, the amount of discussion generated from customers is only going to increase while your internal social strategists and community managers may only marginally increase.
Using all the voices in your ecosystem (the Rings of Influence) not just being the only ones to talk.
Develop more customer to customer technologies that leverage your customers to do your marketing, sales, and support.
In addition to talking about the challenge, I give specific strategies, examples of who's doing it, and pragmatic insights on what to do.
I look forward to speaking at your internal or public event, contact me anytime.
Thanks to David Thomas from SAS, he still practices the live practice of live blogging, see his notes here.
After launching the research report 'Social Marketing Analytics' (also embedded below), my co analyst (also from Forrester) John Lovett and I recorded this webinar yesterday that had over 800 registrants and 300+ attendees during the hour long presentation.
In the spirit of 'Open Research' we encourage you to use, share, and adopt our research framework to improve your work, abiding by our creative commons licensing of attribution and non-commercial usage.
Above: The accompanying slides, which can also be downloaded from Slideshare.
If you're a social analytics technology or service provider (brand monitoring, web analytics, business intelligence) and want to speak with John and I, we can help apply this framework to your business. If you're an analytics professional and need help applying this to making it your own, please contact us: john.lovett at webanalyticsdemystified.com or jeremiah at altimetergroup.com.
We will continue to publish our research findings available to the public, please support us by spreading it to others.
Thanks for attending, I'll be announcing some more research in the coming weeks.
We're ten months in since I joined Altimeter Group, and we're continuing to grow, nearly quadrupled from 4 to over 15 folks. I'll give a brief update, with links to relevant resources.
Recently, we've hired Susan Etlinger, our first consultant, who's going to work closely with Charlene and myself. Clients will get the chance to work with her on projects with me related to social business, research on consumer social behaviors, strategy, and getting your company ready internally.
Today we announced bringing on board Marcia Conner, a partner focused on enterprise collaboration. She stems from consulting and research on the enterprise space, including learning, collaboration, microsharing. Think of her as my internal counterpart.
Charlene's book "Open Leadership" (the Groundswell sequel) is going to be on two best seller lists, they are best suited for your executives who need to understand how social can improve leadership. I'll update this post as the book continues to spread.
We expanded into a new HQ, which we affectionally call "The Hangar", (pics) It's located in the next tower over from our previous building, it's over 3000 sq feet overlooking the San Mateo hills, open and airy. We're over 15 folks now, including with a lot of books (the top shelf are books authored by partners) and we're filling it quickly. Our address is here.
Open Research is working. We're sharing our research reports, webinars, and slides from speeches with the market –not hiding it behind a paywall. As you share it, more interest increases (see numbers), fueling our ability to do more research. Thank you for your help. We're still getting 'ink' in press and media articles and continue to take briefings from vendors doing interesting things.
In some bad news, my dog @GoodBoyRumba isn't allowed in the Hangar (says the property manager), despite Rumba's intentions to be a proud mascot.
We have more clients signing up, as a result, we're expanding rapidly, and have a few job openings in sales, accounts, and a research intern who will work closely with me. Tomorrow, we'll be having an all hands, and our folks will be flying in from Colorado, and East Coast to meet at the Hangar. Stay tuned, I plan to give some exciting updates soon about some new research, events, and hires in the near future.
One last thing. I learned a whole ton about business by starting my own. In fact, it's kinda hard to think that an industry analyst who hasn't run their own business really knows what it feels like for entrepreneurs to go out and build their own dream. I have a new found respect for all the entrepreneurs that I interact with frequently, it ain't easy, I'm learning everyday.
The job changes continue, as the market continues to plow forward. Expect more senior level social strategist positions to get filled as social media becomes a mainstay in the integrated communications across multiple departments at companies. I've been tracking new hires in this space since 2007, see the archives.
Gavin Baker, formerly responsible for social and emerging media at Ruby Tuesday Inc., has joined Moxley Carmichael as director of digital media.
Paull	Young joins 'charity: water' as Director of Digital Engagement and Fundraising who will focused on leading digital strategy to meetorganizational fundraising goals.
Evan	Hamilton joins UserVoice as Community Manager He'll be responsible for reading and responding to community feedback, encouraging evangelism and helping spread good community management practices. I've worked closely with Evan in the past, and have built a friendship with him, what a great hire and a true champion of customers.
Craig	Hepburn joins Nokia	Global Director, Digital	To increase focus and visibility on social media and digital strategies in alignment with Nokia business objectives.
Alan	Belniak joins PTC	Director of Social Media Marketing and will serve as an internal consultant, leading both strategic and tactical approaches toward better incorporating social tools and themes into PTC's products and connecting with and engaging customers.
Erica	Swallow joins Mashable as Editorial Assistant focused on writing and editing features posts for Mashable.com.
Vadim	Lavrusik joins Mashable as a Community Manager	community outreach and social media management.
Colleen	Reilly joins Scrapblog.com as Vice President of Marketing and she will manage the marketing and content teams.
First, I need to set the context for this post, it's mainly in regards to individuals in the workplace, not so much applicable to celebrities, musicians, or politicians.
The first approach is called a 'personal' brand, which focuses on that of the individual. The 'personal' brand focuses on the individual, essentially focusing on 'me'. While there's nothing wrong with that, it is fundamentally a different mindset from the second type.
The second type of approach is what I call a 'career brand'. The difference is simple. This is a brand that's focused on "what can you do for your clients or employer", with a focus more on 'we'.
It's easy to spot the difference between the two brands, you can see it in the content, or in the the focus. And employers are paying attention to this too. Some brands want to promote their employees to have personal or career brands, but at the same time, they're fearful, as they now become an asset that can easily be 'sucked' right out to another firm. The real question is this: can a companies business model support those types of brands?
I'm actively trying to focus on a career brand, and write for interactive and digital marketers at corporate. This blog is written by me, but for them. Love to hear your feedback on this topic, which was a point of controversy during my speech in Hong Kong.
So in the end, there's a place for both, I'm suggesting you be cognizant of which type is for you, and be deliberate as you foster either your personal or career brand.
