Exploit Your Brand To The Fullest

By Marcia Yudkin

A brand goes beyond a company name and tagline. It is a complete personality or set of values, sometimes even a story line, along with repeated visual, auditory and behavioral elements. When you decide to invest in creating a brand, follow these guidelines to ensure that you get your money’s worth:

1. Be distinctive. You’ll land your company in expensive legal hot water if you attempt to steal or encroach on another company’s identity. Apart from legalities, you tend to get the most bang for your branding buck when you generate a powerful contrast with competitors’ images. Do something different.

Smartfood popcorn’s glossy black bags still stand out on store shelves as few other food products do. And what macaroni-and-cheese maker besides Annie’s offers free “Be Green” bumper stickers and information about the company mascot, a real rabbit named Bernie, on the packaging?

2. Repeat, repeat, repeat! The more times your slogans, logo, stories, colors, themes, values and other elements come before your intended public, the greater their effect. Normally, if you have XXXXX dollars to spend this year spreading awareness of your brand, you’re better off creating thousands of small impressions than spending it all on one blow-out event.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIwlMJhQaew[/youtube]

Think of the radio and TV ads that sing in your head while you’re trying to concentrate on something else. No matter how catchy those tunes, they wouldn’t do that if you heard them only once. The same goes for the world’s most creative bank logo. When prospective customers also see that image on magnets at their friends’ houses, on tote bags at the day care center, on thermoses in taxicabs and on the uniforms of the local softball league – then it’s really starting to make an impact.

3. Be consistent. Branding works best when you use the same colors, the same musical theme, the same company name and the same symbols in all company materials and environments. The store shouldn’t be called “O’Reilley’s” on T-shirts and “OReilleys” in the newspaper ad.

Sounds obvious, but even powerhouses like IBM have neglected this rule. In the early 1990’s, IBM had several hundred different logos and slogans circulating. In mid-1994, it laid down the law on which identity elements were authorized and which prohibited. Partly as a result, in 1995 IBM rose to the position of the world’s third most valuable brand from position number 282 the year before.

4. Be persistent. Those within a company will be tempted to change the image of a brand way before it’s time to do so. Never modify or update a central element of a brand just because you’re tired of it. If it’s working, it can continue working for decades.

Since the 1880’s, Ivory soap has successfully called itself “99 44/100% pure.” Marlboro has linked itself with cowboys since the 1950’s – and the brand has a current value of around $13 billion. Betty Crocker has changed her hairstyle, but she’s been wearing red and white since her first appearance on food products in 1921.

5. Don’t water it down. A brand must stand for something and must be linked with something specific in the minds of your public. When Packard, which had been America’s top luxury-brand car, suddenly announced in the 1940’s, “Now everyone can afford a Packard,” the company slid into deep trouble. Cadillac picked up buyers who’d previously wanted the cachet of a Packard.

6. Evolve as necessary. Brands may need to mutate when they’re perceived as misrepresenting a company that has changed or as out of step with the times. A dramatic example is the updating of Betty Crocker, who lost the original gray flecks in her hair over time and changed from homey-looking to dressed for success to more informally attired as society changed.

With bank mergers now epidemic, it’s crucial to try to keep brand equity going. When one bank does not simply swallow the other, designers have come up with elegant new combinations of old identity elements — one color from company A and one from company B, one syllable from each, a new shape incorporating symbols from both banks, etc.

7. Protect it. Registering a trademark gives you a measure of legal exclusivity on your brand identity, including sometimes even a color scheme, a product’s look and feel or an interior decorating scheme. Even so, you may need to police unauthorized usage of your brand elements by searching out offenders and sending cease-and-desist letters. Contact an intellectual property attorney for details.

Don’t let your brand name degenerate into a generic term. “Aspirin” used to be a brand name, as did “Escalator.” You may feel flattered that people are using your product, service or company name to stand for its entire category, but when that kind of usage becomes widespread it can open the door to competitors having legal license to trade upon the investment you’ve made in injecting that name into people’s minds.

POEKOELAN TJIMINDIE: The History

Guru: Eddie Ivester

Now there are lots of theories and mixed feelings about the history of Poekoelan Tjimindie and many people disagree with the common teachings of the history by most Poekoelan Tjimindie instructors so after 14 years of research into the art of Poekoelan Tjimindie of Master Willy Wetzel I have decided to write the following version of the Poekoelan Tjimindie history as I have concluded.

The Meaning:

Poekoelan – to strike

Tji – beautiful

Mindie – flowing waters

To strike with beautiful flow or To strike with Tjimindie village style

The Beginning:

The Poekoelan Tjimindie system is a selective blend of Chinese Kun Tao and Indonesian Pentjak Silat developed by a Shaolin Monk named Huang Wu Wen a master of Chuan Fa also known as Oei Kem Boen, (Oei Kem Boen was probably his undercover name) (1870-1965), and a Poekoelan master named Mas Djut Bang Salimon (1840- 1930). The two met on the western end of the island of Java in a small village called Tjimindie.

Huang Wu Wen thought he had the ultimate art until he ran into Mas Djut! Mas Djut shocked Huang with his lower body leg kicking art. Mas Djut was impressed when Huang got around his lower body art and broke through Djut’s upper body guard. Both masters became great friends and practiced together for 3 years merging & blending their two fighting methods into one new eclectic art they named Tjimindie after the village in Java where they first met and formed this new art.

Mas Djut Bang Salimon:

Mas Djut was a nomadic wanderer who traveled throughout Asia periodically for many years observing and learning various Indonesian fighting arts and was a master of the Kilap system of lightning fast striking as well as the tiger & snake styles of fighting. The kilap system uses a series of linear strikes to overall body targets. The kilap exponent does not attempt to overrun his opponent with brute force or strength, they simply dart in & out while striking at maximum speed to vital body targets.

Huang Wu Wen/Oei Kem Boen:

Huang Wu Wen, brought his art from Canton, China to Java, Indonesia and was a master of the Shaolin Wu-Tong Temple system, which he called the Original Ultimate Fist. Oei Kem Boen originally learned the ancient “soft” southern system and later traveled north where he studied the “hard” northern system. In addition to these he studied the Chinese animal fighting styles of tiger, monkey & crane. Master Huang combined the two Shaolin systems and the animal styles to create his own personal system.

Tjimindie vs. Cimande:

Poekoelan Tjimindie should not be mistaken for the Tjimande/Cimande founded by Pak Embah Kahir. The name Tjimindie was only used to denote the village where Mas Djut and Monk Boen met and not to imply that it was the style of Cimande from Pak Kahir. Although there are some Cimande style and/or techniques in Poekoelan Tjimindie as there are in many styles of Pentjak Silat it is purely coincidental.

Willy Wetzel:

William Willy John Christopher Wetzel was born on January 23, 1921 in the village of Loemadjang, Java, Indonesia, and he passed away on March 17, 1975 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States.

Willy Wetzel was part Indonesian & Dutch and was born & raised in Indonesia and could speak three Indonesian languages. Monk Huang Wu Wen was hired by the Dutch secret service to locate rebel forces wishing to overthrow the Dutch government in Indonesia. Huang’s cover was as a tea merchant and probably adopted the name Oei Kem Boen for his cover. Oei Kem Boen met Willy Wetzel when he was 9 years old and because of Willy’s language skills and being a child from Java he recruited him to help locate secret rebel training camps in and around Java in return for fighting lessons. At age 14 Willy asked Monk Boen to teach him everything he knew about fighting so he could become a master like Monk Boen. At age 17 during WW II Willy served as a member of the Royal Dutch Indonesian Army and then was recruited into the Dutch Secret Service where he was assigned to locate leaders of rebel factions. It is said that Willy was in fact an assassin for the Secret Service and assigned to eliminate the leaders of the rebel factions that he located.

Willy traveled throughout Indonesia undercover as a Pentjak Silat historian and as such he learned many different styles of Indonesian Fighting Arts from all over the Malay Peninsula. It is believed that Willy knew hundreds of different Silat & Kuntao arts and thousands of different techniques as well as several Japanese fighting styles.

In 1949 Willy moved to Holland and then in 1956 he immigrated to Vanport, PA. In 1960 Willy opened his and the first Indonesian martial arts school in the United States to the general public in Beaver falls, PA. He combined and synthesized all of the fighting arts that he had learned into a new system and called his new system Poekoelan Tjimindie Chuan Fa.

Poekoelan Tjimindie:

Poekoelan Tjimindie is a “Broken Mirror” system this means many styles woven into one. In the tradition of Willy you are not bound or restricted to any one style or form, rather you are free and encouraged to seek and adapt what is right for you and discard the rest. Poekoelan Tjimindie is taught and employed as the natural system and the students are eventually trained mentally to use their fighting/self-defense instinctively by accomplishing several moves at once without having to consciously plan each move and this is accomplished by not just learning a fixed set pattern or sequence of movements but creating their own Kembangan (flower dance/form) also known as the “Crawl” by Poekoelan Tjimindie practitioners.

Poekoelan Tjimindie is a varied art composed of a wide range of animal postures and movements inspired by the Bingatang Ampat or 4 animals; the Tiger, Snake, Crane & Monkey. Animal mannerisms were included in Poekoelan Tjimindie because they increase human actions thus bringing to them a much wider range of technique possibilities and applications. Students learn to defend themselves from any position standing or on the ground. Striking, takedowns, weapons defenses and joint locks are all used and students learn the art through both structured forms and free fighting.

1. Tiger (Matjanan) the Indonesian tigers grounded movement leads to the three-limbed fighting style of Harimau. The surprising but deadly moves of Matjanan Tiengie- Leaping Tiger challenge practitioners to move quickly up from the grounded positions to attack either standing or grounded opponents with ripping motions, sweeps, springing shears or scissors, rolling elbows and knees.

The Chinese tiger form uses open hands with extended fingers to claw or rip at vital targets. The method is to hit or place with the palm to the target, then grab and pull.

2. Crane (Blekok) the Indonesian fluid White Crane, erratic moods of the Mad Crane and the quieter more deadly moves of the Lazy Crane, various fist blows and parrying movements as well as balance, stability from the agile movement of the crane, aerial and multiple kicking techniques, long range striking and the ability to strike from a one legged position are adapted from this animal.

The Chinese Crane style uses low to high one-legged body positions with turns. Every second or third move begins in a crane position, with a retreat covered by open hand parries, then follows with attacks or counterattacks. Kicks are delivered from high to low. The head rotates in all directions to watch for any oncoming attackers, providing a circle defense.

3. Monkey (Monyet) Indonesian monkey uses grounded stances, acrobatic movements, parries, grabbing, pounding fists, medium height positions, crawl, low movements, rolls, jumping and leaping with its playful energy sets. Also the groundwork for the heavy effective moves of the powerful ape and the crazy antics of the drunken monkey are seen here.

The monkey style from China is noted by its bent knee, wide leg positions with the body at a low height and arm movements that are circular with open hand parries, and closed hand grabs with palms down. Defensive body movements are side-to-side and forwards and backwards with dodging head movements and body rolls across the ground when needed.

4. Snake (Oeler) Indonesian snake is recognized by the close foot positions and medium body height. Elbow-to-elbow distance is kept close to the body to protect the midsection from injury. By weaving the arms, body and legs during retreats and attacks the snake exponent appears to be giving in but immediately redirects the fight to his advantage. Advanced striking and wrapping techniques come from the Cobra and King Cobra.

The snake style from China has fast multiple lightning strikes from any position, spiraling and weaving motions and short-range sweeping.

In the Poekoelan Tjimindie style correct hitting is invisible and the striking weapons are camouflaged by foot & hand movements and always strike indirectly. The blow never starts or comes from the place the Poekoelan Tjimindie exponent is positioned from and never strikes the target it appears to be aimed toward.

This deception is accomplished by having the arm or leg relaxed while on it’s route of travel to the real intended target. In that way the same weapon can hit multiple targets without withdrawing and fools & confuses the opponent into blocking to protect a target that is not going to be hit. Poekoelan Tjimindie makes good use of the head for butting action with head on, side to side and rear strikes, which are effective in very close in-fighting situations. Along with head strikes the use of elbows and knees are employed in close quarter combat as well. Poekoelan Tjimindie is also an internal art where Chi Kung (breathing techniques) and meditation are developed for internal strength, focus, and healing.

Ways To Negotiate Contract Price As A First Time Home Buyer

Investment Property Newcastle Australia

Submitted by: Alex Anderson

When you have already taken enough time doing all of the research regarding your potential real estate property and you’re willing to start doing work with the seller, it is about time to make the offer. Even so, the your buying offer is not the last part of the sales process; you might be discussing prices after making the offer if the seller declines to accept the offer, therefore you will definitely need a plan to get the selling/buying price you wanted – or anything within that range – well before you stretch your initial offer.

Being familiar with many of the conditions of the deal as well as working on a backup plan are some ways to be sure you are offered the best price possible for your potential new house. The ‘Consumer’s Guide to Home Buying’ by the Barron’s series recommends to any prospective homeowners to generate a list of items they can practice way before the negotiation process starts. Here are a few things to take into account as you begin discussing the cost of your brand new home:

1.Who will be making the decisions in this sale?Who will be making the decisions in this sale, for all parties involved? Knowing who the decision makers are would benefit a competent negotiator simply because this gives you an idea as to who really influences the entire sales process. For example, is the seller working independently or is he/she working with a third party, i.e. an agent or a lawyer? Knowing who you are negotiating with should help you establish the best approach for negotiations and also let you gauge how much you can trust the selling party.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqFrlqhOnd0[/youtube]

2. What’s your contingency plan? If in the end, the seller still refuses your offer, do you still have other options? It is definitely disheartening not to get what you want from your negotiations, but you need to be able to say when to back off and perhaps work towards another direction. Know precisely the upper price limit that you’re willing to pay for the home and do not move over and above that price only to win the price war.

3. Are you aware of the details of the sales agreement? It’s crucial to fully understand all the terms and conditions of the sales agreement so you’re not confronted with any surprises later on. Take some time to review the sales agreement and all the other details that go with it and note down anything that is not 100% clear to you. Sit down with the seller so that you can go over everything that you are not sure of so you don’t have any reservations about signing if your offer gets accepted.

4. Are you comfortable with the seller? The realtor can provide guidance and also professional advice concerning the home negotiation process, hence you need to feel like you can trust them. Spend sufficient time talking to them to be able to develop a mutually respectful relationship with each other as well as discuss your thoughts about the home that you are about to buy before the negotiating process gets started so you will be able to make a decision based on facts.

5. Do you think you’re ready to handle difficulties? Poor communication skills from the seller’s agent, too much aggressive selling from the agent as well as other negative communications that can arise during negotiation can make it tough to negotiate fairly. Keep your cool and be ready to say that you don’t want to make the deal anymore in the event that you do not feel like it’s going down the right path.

Are Pushups Efficient For Gaining Muscle Mass?

Hyperhidrosis Permanent Treatment

Are pushups efficient for gaining muscle mass? Pushups cause resistance. Resistance builds muscle. Therefore, pushups develop muscle. On the negative side, not enough people benefit from this exercise because they don’t know how beneficial it is. Instead of using their body, people choose to buy gym subscriptions to use various machines that, in the end, will perform the same task as the day old pushup, while the pushup does it for free. For a pushup, the equipment needed follows you around wherever you go. You take it with you all the time. You’ll only be needing your body for this exercise, and an amount of space that is not a problem. A small space is all you need, and even a motel room will work. All you do is get to the bed side and perform a set. Build Muscle and Improve MetabolismThe notion of using the body for resistance is in fact nothing new or out of the ordinary as much long before weights were created, this technique was used. Pushups will definitely help you develop muscle mass efficiently. Just think of the muscle groups that they target: back, chest, shoulders, legs, and stomach. Pushups and chin-ups are the same when it comes to convenience and equipment. However, pushups provide the body with many more benefits. Pushups are perfect in every sense of the word because they wont just develop your muscle, but cut the fat as well by speeding up your metabolism. Make Pushups a Habit C Establish a RoutineWhen you do exercise routines, always start off by warming up so that you can benefit fully from the other exercises in your training. Starting an exercise with a difficult routine like pushups may cause you to get sore and possibly even hurt yourself so you want to make sure to get into the habit of a routine. As you start exercising, begin slowly and gradually increase the repetitions so that you’re a bit sore, but not hurting yourself. This is so that your muscles are actually working. To get into the habit of doing this exercise, begin by doing ten pushups every hour, so that by the end of the day, you’ll have done about 100. Gradually increase the number of pushups performed when you get used to your routine. Perform more sets if you aren’t being challenged into a sweat so that the resistance on your muscles is increased. A smaller rest period is another way to increase the resistance on the muscles. For example, try to take forty-five minutes of break time instead of an hour. Are pushups efficient for gaining muscle mass? They definitely are effective. However, you should have proper eating habits to complement your routine. Exercise isn’t enough for muscle mass development. Its vital to have good eating habits because they give you both the energy to perform exercises and the nutrients to build muscle. You’ll definitely get the body that you desire if you keep a healthy diet and a proper exercise routine.

Direct deposit is a popular method of sending money to another country. It is an effective method for people who wish to transfer money back home on a regular basis. In this remittance method, the sender allows an Indian bank to withdraw money from his/her foreign bank account and send it to the recipient. Once the withdrawal is done, the recipient can go to that bank in India and get the money.

Another method for money transfer from US to Indiais to use foreign currency drafts. It is very similar to sending a bank draft. Mostly businesses prefer this method for transferring money from one country to another. Even though it is a time consuming option, it is quite safe if you are sending a large amount. On an average, it takes approximately 20 days for the money to reach if you send through foreign currency money drafts.

Money orders are also used for sending money overseas. These are provided by banks and you can send them via mail. It is a time-taking process but very safe.

You can also use a foreign currency cheque to send money. In this simple process, you just need to write a cheque and get it delivered to the recipient. The recipient can then get the money at his/her bank. It takes more than 20 days for the entire process to get completed. If you want to get it done faster, you can send the cheque through overnight courier services as these courier services take less time.

Wire transfers are one of the safest and quickest ways of sending money to another country. The recipient will get money through a wire transfer in just 1 to 2 business working days. It is also one of the most secure methods because it includes banking codes and routing codes.

With the advancement in internet, life has become very easy. Today, it is possible to send money from one country to another from the comfort of your home or office. If you are choosing an online agency, make sure it is licensed to offer this service.

Educating Yourself About No Stitch Cataract Surgery

Best Gastric Sleeve Surgeon Los Angeles California

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology about 22 million people in the United States over the age of 40 have cataracts. About half of all people over the age of 80 have this condition that clouds the lens of the eye and progressively leads to a decrease in vision. With the only cure found in cataract surgery, learning more about cataracts and their treatment can help you to answer questions for family members.

First, it is important to realize that despite the claims of some supplement manufacturers, there is no scientific evidence that any supplements can reduce the risk of developing cataracts. There is also no treatment except for cataract surgery at this time, but the type of surgery has changed dramatically providing patients with options for very fast healing with reduced risk of complications.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjfJcCOOVgo[/youtube]

No-Stitch Surgery

Now, most cataract surgery is classified as “no-stitch surgery” because the entire process is done using an extremely fine tube that is inserted into the eye. This tube contains an ultrasound instrument that creates a safe vibration in the eye that breaks up the cataract into small pieces.

The pieces of the cataract are gently suctioned out of the eye and an artificial lens put in place. When the tube is removed the eye tissue simply seals over, without the need for any type of stitches. This entire process is actually known as phacoemulsification and has an extremely high success rate with very few complications.

Local Anesthesia Only

The entire process of no-stitch cataract surgery is done under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. This anesthesia of the eye is usually done with drops, meaning no injections for those that are a bit nervous about the idea of a needle.

Patients typically do not require patching of the eye and there is minimal healing time required. Some patients, but not all, may experience mild discomfort in the eye for a day or two after the procedure. Most people do not need to drastically change their typical lifestyle during the healing process which can last up to eight weeks.

The benefits of no-stitch cataract surgery make this a good option for a wide range of different patients. You and your doctor can discuss the options, any possible risks, and any concerns that you may have before you decide if this is the right choice for your eye health.

Background check has become an everyday process in any HR office in the land. Every time an applicant comes for an interview, background check is always expected to be conducted. For quite some years now, background checking has become an important tool for many companies to determine the credibility and capability of their prospect employees. The same procedure is what helps many businesses in awarding promotions to their employees. In schools, background check is an important tool to determine if a student has no derogatory record that might in one way or another affect the environment he/she is trying to join. All the more this process has become a government’s aide in choosing appointees for critical positions in the White House and other departments.

Many people depended on background check as the presidential campaign was on the go. Many searches have been recorded in Google’s analytic tools which, Obama and McCain topped as keywords. This is no longer surprising as the internet provides much information of people, places, things, and situation which can let one think decisively according to the facts and figures he/she has just read. It has not been made a practice before but these days, background screening of politicians is simply taking wide acclaim.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk5jqLGrdbk[/youtube]

After the election of Sen. Obama to the highest office of the land, came followed the appointment of cabinet officials and other positions in the executive branch. The process is not so easy that until now, the line up of Obama’s team is not yet completed. There had been already some positions that have been filled up such as the White House Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State, but other positions as secretaries of the different positions are yet to be filled up.

Representative Artur Davis of Alabama is among the many politicians and Democrats eyed by the Obama Transition Team that will hold a position in White House. But before he can be appointed extensive background check is going to be conducted on him. Though Davis did not in any way confirm the appointment he continues to dismiss the idea of joining the Obama team because of his plan to run as governor of Alabama. With his wide background and circle of friends, even the FBI is having second thoughts because the agency houses many friends of Davis. But, considering his history of service to the House and his constituents, chances are that if he accepts the nomination to be a secretary for Obama cabinet, background checks will never be a hindrance.

Today, background search is not just a tool for ordinary employee but as well as to big politicians and celebrities aiming for a position in the government.

Finding The Perfect Home Workout

If you truly want to exercise–you have many options: Walking, hiking, running, biking, swimming, strength training, group exercise workouts. But even the most dedicated exerciser can struggle to get their workout in when short on time. If you have a busy life due to family obligations or work commitments, or you live in a town were the closest health club is half an hour away, or you simply feel uncomfortable walking into a gym, you may consider trying exercise videos and working out at home. There are workouts for the beginner to the advanced, from Pilates and Yoga to Toning and Kickboxing. So finding the right video for you is relatively simple, but here are a few types when choosing your home exercise video:

1) It’s very important not to give in to all the hyped marketing surrounding many videos that may make unsubstantiated promises. In fact, any video that promises quick weight

loss or instant results is probably unsafe and should be avoided.

2) Ask your friends what exercise videos they do. Or go to your local video store and rent a few workout videos to see which ones you like before investing $20 into one video. Or, instead of buying the videos, simply borrow them from a neighbor, or exchange them with friends to have a larger variety.

3) Decide what you want to achieve: If you want to loose body fat, choose cardiovascular workouts (like Low-Impact, Step Aerobics, Cardio Dance, Kickboxing) over Pilates/Yoga workouts. While I truly believe a well-balanced workout routine includes Pilates, Yoga and strength training, at least initially, most of your workout time should not be devoted to this type of training.

4) Honestly evaluate your current level and choose exercise videos appropriate for where you are today. By working out at your level, you will be able to get stronger and develop more endurance without putting your body at risk. Also, this creates a feeling of success, and as I always say, there is nothing more motivating than success.

5) The exercise video should give modifications for different fitness levels. For example, an aerobic video may show a high impact option, a medium impact option and a low impact option. Or a toning workout video may show how to increase or decrease the intensity of a shoulder exercise by changing the position of the hands.

6) Instead of spending around $20 per video, consider subscribing to an online exercise video website. There are several good ones out there. These types of websites offer a variety of exercise videos and add new workout videos every week for between $10 to $20 per month.

Whatever you do–make sure it works with your schedule and make sure you enjoy the workout. By choosing workouts you enjoy and naturally fit into your life, you are setting yourself up for success. The more successful you are with your workouts–the more you will do them. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t you deserve to look and feel your very best? And you can feel and look your best, and it only takes around 30-minutes each day.
