BLACKBERRY BUSINESS BLOG – The mobile industry has reached an inflection point. The value of providing employees with greater productivity must be balanced against threats such as data leakage, lost and stolen devices, and unsafe user practices. As employee-owned devices become more widespread in enterprise and businesses start moving up the mobile maturity curve, traditional mobile device management (MDM) offers insufficient security controls.

Businesses have thus started to turn elsewhere. Consumer-oriented devices have begun to ship with on-device containerization. Solutions such as Android for Work, Apple iOS Managed Apps and Samsung KNOX have grown increasingly common.

“App containers have begun to evolve as a complement or even a replacement for MDM as the foundational security layer for enterprise mobility,” reads a recent Good Technology White Paper. “Containers are a transformative technology for enabling enterprises to confidently deploy mobile apps that access corporate data and network resources with security and control, enabling users to work anywhere, anytime while still protecting corporate data and user privacy.”

Let’s talk about what’s behind this security evolution. What specific factors have driven this widespread adoption of app containerization – and why? More importantly, how can you tell the difference between an effective containerization tool and an ineffective one?

1.         We Need to Address the Threat of Data Leakage and Malware

Although mobile malware still remains a threat, businesses should be more concerned with plugging data leaks. According to Appthority’s Q1 2016 Enterprise Mobile Threat Report, 48.2% of applications on iOS and 86.7% of applications on Android are prone to data leakage, while nearly the same number exhibit privacy-invasive behaviors like location tracking, accessing address book information or transmitting device ID details.

Insecure apps are not the only potential source of data leakage – in a non-containerized environment, an employee might inadvertently forward sensitive files through their personal email account or upload business data to a personal cloud storage tool.

“Data leakage and loss from negligent file sharing and information collaboration practices is becoming just as significant a risk as data theft,” notes a 2014 Ponemon Institute survey. “Consumer grade file-sharing cloud applications are popular with both employees and organizations because they make it possible for busy professionals to work efficiently together. However, [there are] holes in document and file level security in part caused by their expanded use.”

According to the survey, 61% of employees make use of personal file-sharing apps in the workplace, send unencrypted emails and forward documents to unauthorized parties. Implementing a secure container not only cuts insecure apps off from sensitive data, but also makes it less likely employees will accidentally use personal apps or accounts in the workplace – there will be a clear demarcation between private and professional.

2.         Consistency Is Key

With the number of devices per person slated to hit an average of 4.3 by 2020, employees are increasingly jumping between devices and form factors in the workplace. This situation borders on nightmarish for IT, as every OEM implements device security in a different fashion. In order to adequately manage security on Android, for example, an IT department must understand the intricacies of every single permutation of the OS.

This lack of consistency not only places undue stress on IT, but also puts the entire business at risk. A system, after all, is only as strong as its weakest link. All that is necessary for a breach to occur is for one device’s security controls to be insufficient.

An external solution is necessary here. You need an app containerization platform that provides consistent security controls across devices and form factors. Currently, there exists only one solution that fits this description – but more on that in a moment.

3.         Devices Get Misplaced All The Time

According to a 2014 survey by Bitglass, lost and stolen devices are the leading cause of healthcare data breaches. Not malware, not sophisticated cyberattacks, but simple theft. If the healthcare data and apps on the stolen devices were kept separate through a container, many of these breaches likely could have been prevented.

Many, but not all. Since most containerization tools rely on device-level controls, they can still be cracked by criminals quite easily. This means that if a thief is able to get into the device, they’re able to release the data.

Passwords and PINs also prove insufficient in such a situation. Most user passwords are easily cracked, and there are multiple tools designed to bypass device security. Further, the thief might not even have to resort to such measures as hacking a password, instead exploiting an OS vulnerability such as iOS 8 and 9’s screen lock bypass.

4.         BYOD Is Now the Law of the Land – And User Privacy’s A Must

Last May, a California woman filed a wrongful termination suit against her employer. Myrna Arias of Bakersfield, Calif., was fired from her position at Intermex for deleting a company-mandated location-tracking app known as Xora from her smartphone. According to Arias, the application was used to illegally spy on her after hours, and her boss would often brag about knowing how she spent her weekends.

I doubt you’ll find anyone who would argue an employer has the right to track what employees do with their personal lives, but enterprise location tracking and data collection apps like Xora cannot distinguish between work and personal use. They’ll continue doing what they were designed for, regardless of whether or not an employee is on the clock. This means that without containerization, those apps could be violating the privacy of employees and running afoul of data privacy laws and the FTC.

They may also cause users to opt out of BYOD programs in the interest of protecting their own privacy, reducing adoption within the organization. This will, in turn, foster dissatisfaction among staff, and make it more difficult to implement new mobility initiatives. Separation of work and personal data on employee devices ensures that this will not happen.

How Good Does Containerization Better

The majority of containerization solutions focus on ring-fencing applications through less-than-secure device-level controls. The security scope of these solutions is also typically narrow, and focused on protecting app data or content such as corporate documents. They do not, for example, secure the interactions between different apps.

As noted in a 2014 blog post by my colleague Jeff McGrath, credentials (usernames, passwords, tokens and certificates) and configurations (information on backend systems and resources) are both equally important.

“Losing a user’s local content hurts, but losing enterprise credentials and configurations data from a mobile device can have a far more critical impact on enterprise security,” he writes.

That’s where Good comes in. We invented containerization, and with our expertise, we’re able to take it to a level that others cannot match. Our mobile app containerization solution, a fundamental component of the new Good Secure EMM Suites, differs in a few ways from others on the market:

  • “Three C’s” security: Our app containers not only encrypt the applications themselves, but also inter-app communication. Configuration details and user credentials are protected alongside content, and all data – whether at rest or in transit – is protected by FIPS-validated encryption against intrusion.
  • Device-independent encryption: Our app containerization process and its related encryption is device-independent. This means that even if a criminal cracks a stolen device, they still can’t gain access to the content, credentials and configuration details. And it doesn’t matter what device an employee uses, either – security is consistent across all of them.
  • A superior user experience: Our app containers support single-sign-on authentication, allowing users to log in once to gain access to all Good-secured apps on their device.
  • A powerful product suite: Good’s app containerization is part of the most flexible, unified EMM platform on the market. Between Good Secure EMM Suites and the rest of the Good/BlackBerry portfolio, your enterprise has everything it needs to take full command of its security.

By combining our mobile app container with a device container like Secure Work Space, your business not only protects user privacy, but also safeguards its information, credentials and infrastructure data at every level.

i think i remember seeing a post that said that .22 coversion kits fouled up your upper receiver unless meticulously cleaned afterwards. can you get by with a coversion kit or do you need to shell out the extra bucks for the .22 dedicated upper?

I use the Ceiner kit and when Iam done using it I fire About 5 rnds .223 through it to clean out the gas tube. [sniper]
Link Posted: 4/28/2001 5:14:34 AM EST
not to sound stupid, but how would that work? would the hotter cartridge just burn up any residue? anyway, what are those kits running these days? i think the cheapest I've seen thm is $180.00 with the thirty round clip. thanks for the heip.

Buy copper plated .22 rounds, almost as cheap as the lead ones, but they dont leave lead in your gas tube. Firing the .223 rounds blows any residual lead out of the gase tube, and right into your bolt carrier. Used kits go for approximately $100 with a Slick Willy mag, new can be had for about $150 with a Slick Willy, $180 for new kit with a standard magazine. Kharn

I have both the Ceiner and the Colt versions, and both seem to wear away some of the anodizing off of the upper receiver, I can see some gray spots where the black was worn away because of the gritty/sand-like residue left behind from the burning of the 22LR ammo.

All that happends when I shoot my conversion kit, is something hitting me in the face every once in a while...I think its unburnt powder... BISHOP

A crucial addition to that .22lr conversion would be a blast reducer.

An exciting opportunity to rebuild our entire moral infrastructure with localism

  • Comment

Ian Martin lunches with the balaclava-wearing Amy Blackwater

MONDAY. Summoned in conditions of great secrecy to the Department of Communities and Bins.

Imagine my surprise when I am ushered in to see the secretary of state himself, Wally Morecambe. He’s routinely described as ‘larger than life’ but it’s still a shock to meet him in the incontrovertible flesh. He’s bloody MASSIVE. He has the girth of a hot tub. It looks like an airbag’s gone off inside his head.

He’s inviting me to be part of the Big Society he says, offering me a copy of the revised Localism Bill and a custard doughnut. Obviously, localism will be a powerful tool in the community toolbox. It will enable local people to determine their fate without let or hindrance from local authorities, some of which remain stubbornly Labour-controlled. And he’s looking for someone willing to act as ‘moral narrator’ for the Bill, to smooth things over with the wider design and development community.

I accept the gig of course. Easy money. I don’t know where Morecambe’s getting his intelligence, but I’m really not expecting much moral opposition from architects. To anything, frankly.

TUESDAY. Lunch with my old friend Amy Blackwater, the environmental activist. Honestly, you’ve no idea how difficult it is to find a restaurant prepared to serve someone wearing a balaclava.

I need her to spell out the militant arguments against localism, just to get my bearings. She requires a) little prompting, b) a vegan buffet, c) two gallons of cider. ‘The whole thing’s a con, from top to bottom. The government says they want to empower communities. Bullshit. They want to empower capitalism. They say these new relaxed planning rules will allow development to respond to local needs. That is a BRECHTIAN LIE!’

I wonder what that means exactly, which just exasperates her. ‘It means, dummy, that if any of these puppet People’s Forums actually has the temerity to oppose a scheme, the developer will simply DISSOLVE that People’s Forum and elect another…’ And with that she drains her pint, burps through her balaclava, punches me much too hard on the shoulder and leaves. Bonkers Amy. Mad but true.

WEDNESDAY. Useful chat with Tim Burnish of the Entrepreneurial Association. He’s broadly in favour of localism as it essentially legitimises whatever it is that any entrepreneur wants to do, ever.

There was he says slight disquiet at the ‘sustainable development’ caveat attached to future planning permissions. Particularly as association members had been initially assured that the only condition would be a modest planning fee. But the government has now made it clear that sustainable just means doing your best not to go bankrupt before topping out.

THURSDAY. Working breakfast with ‘Spinning’ Jenny Hurlpool, who does PR for Inloco, one of the country’s leading planning providers.

She’s brutally honest. Her client ‘delivers multi-disciplinary solutions’, including outsourced planning services for councils who’ve decided to privatise everything. Much as people in the 1950s used to have all their teeth removed and replaced with dentures, to save any fuss in the future.

But what happens when inevitably Inloco’s development arm effectively applies for planning permission from itself? That poses a real problem says Jenny, as both sides of itself will be expected to offer an in-house discount, which is totally unfair as everyone has to make a killing. Correction, living.

FRIDAY. I’ve convened a focus group of architects. They’re impressively tetchy, but unhelpful.

Localism is an opportunity that must be grasped, is the consensus. Ask them what ‘opportunity’ means and they all look shifty and concede that it means possible work on the back of a development surge limited only by the imagination of clients’ accountants.

One geeky-looking bloke suggests architects might work for community groups opposing the localism juggernaut. Everyone else jeers and throws shoes at him until he leaves.

There is however one major moral objection to localism here. Given that the noble profession of architecture has been reduced to ‘securing planning permission for the client and spouting posh bollocks about the environment’, what happens when planning becomes a pushover and the client just hires an intern who can quote George Monbiot?

I then realise that what I took for hauteur is actually dignity in the face of death.

SATURDAY. Send a summary of my findings to Wally Morecambe: localism is now ready to be ‘rolled out’. National Localism!

SUNDAY. Self-loafing in the recliner.

Anshen Dyer picks up Polish competition win

  • Comment
Anshen Dyer has won an international competition to design a new Institute of Social Communications and Business Management in Poland.

The scheme - which is for the Jagiellonian University in Krakow - will consolidate nine related institutes within a single facility.

The winning design aims to create a 26,000m 2scheme, providing an 'interactive learning community for the varying institutes, facilities and students'.

A knowledge centre is a central feature of the design, which sits in a landscaped courtyard surrounded by offices and classrooms.

The project is part of Anshen Dyer's strategy of expanding into Poland and the other EU accession countries.

Sorrell pans Farrells' plans for Gateway park

  • Comment
The chair of CABE has slammed Farrells' plans for a national park in the heart of the Thames Gateway.

Speaking at yesterday's Thames Gateway Forum (24 November), John Sorrell said he did not believe the mammoth development zones east of London were the right place for a massive, protected park and described Farrell's proposals as a 'gift to the Nimbys'.

The revelation comes less than two weeks after reports announced Farrells' park plans had been given the green light by housing minister Yvette Cooper.

Sorrell, who was discussing the commission's approach to promoting good design in the Gateway area, said: 'Farrells' proposal is a good starting point- but a national park has drawbacks which would make it impractical here. National parks limit development.'

He added: 'It would add another layer of bureaucracy to a programme which, if anything, needs to have its delivery mechanisms simplified.'

However, Sorrell did champion the idea of a carbon-neutral valley. He said: 'At CABE we think this should be the most environmentally sustainable place you could buy a new home, rent an office, travel, go to school or attend university.

'More than that, we think the Gateway offers Britain an opportunity to demonstrate sustainable development on an internationally significant scale.'

Om Unimagined in the English Renaissance

When we read poetry, we tend to believe that we are getting a glimpse of the interior of the poet's mindpictures from the poet's imagination relayed through the representative power of language. But poets themselves sometimes express doubt (usually indirectly) that poetic language has the capability or the purpose of revealing these images. This book examines description in Renaissance poetry, aiming to reveal its complexity and variability, its distinctiveness from prose description, and what it can tell us about Renaissance ways of thinking about the visible world and the poetic mind. Recent criticism has tended to address representation as a product of culture; The Unimagined in the English Renaissance argues to the contrary that attention to description as a literary phenomenon can complicate its cultural context by recognizing the persistent problems of genre and literary history. The book focuses on Sidney, Spenser, Donne, and Milton, who had very different aims as poets but shared a degree of skepticism about imagistic representation. For these poets, description can obscure as much as it makes visible, and can create whole categories of existence that are outside of visibility altogether.

CHICAGO BEARS RADIO -- WBBM Newsradio 780 "Traffic on the 8's"

SUV and two-car attached garage fire at house on North Parkway and Elm Street in Prospect Heights.

Prospect Heights police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 12:01 AM Thursday to a report of a car fire in a garage in the block of 100 North Parkway Prospect Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics received a report initially that a man was in the garage fighting a fire in the garage.

Firefighters on arrival reported fire showing on the northwest corner of the house/garage area of the house. Upon arrival Battalion 9 declared a working fire in the two-car attached garage of the two-story house and assumed command. Engine 9 deployed a 2 1/2-inch hand line into the garage while Engine 39 advanced a 1 3/4-inch hand line into the front door to check for extension and primary search of the first floor. Wheeling Engine 23 performed a primary search of the second floor and checked
for extension above the fire area. Deputy Chief 901 was assigned the Division B.
Tanker 9 nursed Engine 9 and Long Grove Tanker 55 nursed Engine 39. Northbrook
Tower 12 assisted with overhaul in the garage. Tanker 55/Ambulance 55 crew was
assigned to on-deck on the B side of the structure. Deputy Chief 3901 assumed
the Plans Section Chief role with Battalion 9.

The fire was extinguished immediately. The forward progress of the fire was reported stopped at about 12:15 a.m. The fire was held to contents of garage and did not spread into structural members or living areas.

A resident at the house got the SUV out of the garage before firefighters arrived. There was minor damage (soot) to the garage, and the SUV was damaged near the right, rear wheel and fender. Black soot was visible on the brick and stone above the garage door opening. At least three fire extinguishers were used prior to the arrival of firefighters.

No injuries reported. Arlington Heights Ambulance 2 was assigned as EMS/Rehab. Wheeling Chief 2400 was assigned as the safety officer. Palatine Rural Tanker 36 and Glenview Engine 8/Ambulance 7 were held in staging. Long Grove Chief 5500 and North Maine Chief 100 were held at the command post and returned once no fire extension was found and the fire was confined to the garage.

Firefighters from Arlington Heights, Glenview, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Mount Prospect, North Maine, Northbrook, Palatine Rural, Wheeling and other communities assisted Prospect Heights firefighters. Several tankers responded to the scene.

In all, eleven fire companies and six chiefs responded: Seven Companies and three
chiefs on the report and an additional four companies and three chiefs upon declaration of the working fire.

The neighborhood does not have fire hydrants.

Google aims Plus at the enterprise as consumer side falters

Google aims Plus at the enterprise as consumer side falters

Tech giant sees a ‘new direction’ for its social network

Credit: Dreamstime

Google will aim Google Plus solely at enterprise users as it shuts down consumer access to its ailing social network over the next few months.

Google announced plans to discontinue Google Plus last week, following reports of a security flaw that exposed user data to third-party developers.

The bug was discovered and patched by the company in March as part of an internal audit of privacy controls, dubbed Project Strobe. But the breach was not made public until recently.

Google launched 'Plus' in 2011 as a competitor to Facebook, but failed to gain significant traction in trying to displace its rival. Despite having 395 million monthly active users, actual time spent with Plus remains low; Google said that 90% of user sessions last less than five seconds.

Consumer access to Google Plus is slated to end in August 2019.

Even so, Google said that it remains committed to supporting the platform for G Suite subscribers, Google's cloud productivity suite for business customers.

(This is not the first time Google has canned a struggling consumer product that it continued selling to businesses: Google Glass saw a similar fate.)

“[W]e have many enterprise customers who are finding great value in using Google Plus within their companies,” said Ben Smith, Google Fellow and vice president of Engineering, in a company blog post.

“Our review showed that Google Plus is better suited as an enterprise product where co-workers can engage in internal discussions on a secure corporate social network.”

At the company’s Cloud Next event in London last week, the company unveiled new business-focused features as part of the “new direction” for Google Plus, and cited Nielsen and French retailer Auchan as large organisations already using the application to connect thousands of employees.

New features include the ability for G Suite admins to moderate and review employee posts, which builds on other recent additions such as a dashboard for community engagement metrics.

Admins will also be able to define custom streams that contain communications related to a particular subject.

Google + advance settings Google

G Suite admins will have more control to moderate and review employee posts in Google Plus.

In addition, message tags should make it easier for workers to share information with the right colleagues, Google said, with draft posts and the ability to see suggested tags. The goal is to help employees keep track of discussion topics that are relevant to their role.

The new features will roll out in 2019.

“With this new Google Plus experience, G Suite customers can create a stronger connective tissue across large organisations,” said David Conway, product manager, in a blog post.

Google’s announcement should be seen as a starting point, analysts said. “It’s good to see Google talk about enterprise social networks more seriously, but these features appear to be incremental,” said Larry Cannell, a research director at Gartner.

As an enterprise social network, Google Plus faces competition from established tools such as Microsoft Yammer, Jive and Facebook's Workplace, which recently bolstered support for collaboration between multi-company groups.

Google’s repositioning of Google Plus comes as more businesses embrace the team chat tools that have emerged in recent years, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. Google has its own take, Hangouts Chat, which started life within Google Plus.

These workstream collaboration tools promise to aid more effective communication and collaboration between colleagues, and deliver higher adoption rates than past iterations of social networks.

Pet Loss Memorial - Rainbow Bridge - Mouse Waits for Owner

Pet Loss Memorial - Rainbow Bridge - Mouse Waits for Owner
It is said that when we lose Our Beloved Pets, they wait for us at The Rainbow Bridge and we cross over together. This adorable Angel Mouse is waiting for its owner before crossing.
This Rainbow Bridge Memorial makes a great gift to comfort and console a grieving heart and soul. It is a lovely reminder that one day we will be reunited with our loyal and loving pets whether they are a mouse, rat, dog, cat, hamster, gerbil, ferret, horse, rabbit, fish, bird, snake, lizard, turtle or any other pet.

This Original Handmade white MumseyMouse Angel is dressed in a flowing gown of white shimmering crystalette fabric. It is trimmed with delicate white lace. She is wearing beautiful glistening angel wings and a golden Halo. She is holding a baby mouse and patiently waiting to reunite with her Loved One.

The Rainbow Bridge is handmade with all the colors of the rainbow on the decking. A beautiful brightly colored rainbow graces one side of the bridge. On the other side, on a cloud background, there is a message that reads... Until We Cross Together. The white picket railing is attached one picket at a time and is trimmed with Yellow Ribbon and Bows to represent reuniting and Coming Home. The grass and flowers all around symbolize the wonderful and beautiful place where they run and play and are restored to health, while they wait. On the bottom of the bridge, there is a poem: The Rainbow Bridge... which was inspired by a Norse Legend.

All MumseyMouse mice come with a Certificate of Authenticity complete with a picture of your Angel. The Certificate can be personalized with a name of your choice.

The Rainbow Bridge and MumseyMouse Angel were designed and created with great love and attention to detail and are meant to be lasting memories. They are not toys to be played with.

12 Extremely Fast Growing Veggies For Your Garden

Fresh vegetables

Let’s be honest, some of us aren’t born with patience and we want to get things as quickly as we can. Maybe this is the reason why we avoid to plant a garden because we think it will take centuries to get the veggies and fruits we want to eat now. That’s why I decided to collect the fastest growing veggies and motivate you to start gardening.

Ready to Harvest in 8 Weeks

The good thing when you decide to plant shallots is that you can pick the leaves and leave the base to regrow for months of harvesting, or if you want to pull out the whole plant. Another advantage of the shallots is that you can even plant leftover shop-bought shallots.

Ready to Harvest in 3 Weeks

This plant is a very good choice if you are an impatient gardener. It takes less than a month to see the “fruits” of your work and it is really accessible - you can plant it in a window box, container or in your backyard.

Ready to Harvest in 9 Weeks

One of my personal favorites. It can take a while for the zucchini to grow to its full size but after 70 days it is big enough to harvest. But my opinion is that this veggie is more delicious when it is smaller.

Ready to Harvest in 6 to 9 Weeks

During the summer months, I eat a huge amount of cucumbers, this veggie is the symbol of the summer salads - crispy and fresh...that’s all you need to get your daily dose of cheerfulness.

Cherry Belle Radishes

Ready to Harvest in 3 Weeks

The best thing about this plant is that it’s almost completely disease-free and if you are a beginner in gardening you will be motivated to carry for them. Another benefit is that radishes will successfully mature almost anywhere.

Baby Carrots

Ready to Harvest in 4 Weeks

They are a great snack option and the most important thing is that baby carrots grow faster than their full-grown counterparts. It only takes a month to taste these little fellows.

Snap Peas

Ready to Harvest in 8 Weeks

They are a great alternative to the junk food. Snap Peas are a healthy snack when your kids need something between the meals.

Ready to Harvest in 5 to 6 Weeks

This vegetable is full of vitamins and it is great in salads, hot dishes and as a garnish. One of its main benefits is that it can grow in areas of your garden with partial sunlight.

Bush Beans

Ready to Harvest in 7 Weeks

Growing this veggie takes less than 2 months and the best part is that there are a lot of varieties to choose from.

Ready to Harvest in 4 Weeks

It is called not coincidentally “Rocket”. This wildly popular and spicy-tasting leafy salad is ready for you just in a month. You can sow more seeds every 4 weeks for a constant supply of fresh and young leaves.

Pak Choy

Ready to Harvest in 5 Weeks

This tasty Asian veggie is perfect for salads, steaming and stir-fries. You can even eat its flowers but then you have to know that the flowering means the plant is finished. You can start planting new batches every 2 or 3 weeks and you will have a nutritious and delicious vegetable at your table.

Ready to Harvest in 8 Weeks

This is another bomb full with nutrients and vitamins. You can put these tender and juicy roots in stews, roasting meals or eat them raw.

I hope that this list of suggestions will help to some impatient, but devoted gardeners. Vegetables are an essential part of the menu for the people who want to live healthier. And is there anything better than raising them in our own gardens?

Take a hint from true survivalists and consider growing these plants that do double duty as both adding charm to your yard and food for your mouth.

Flowering or gardening bulbs generally have an essential benefit over the regular plant. They can easily stock energy from one season to another. When a gardening bulb begins to develop, it uses that stored reserves for developing flowers, leaves, shoots, and roots.

citrus fruits

Spring is upon us and insects start waking up and going out and about. Not long afterward, the most annoying bug will start tormenting neighbourhoods, parks, forests, and urban areas. Mosquitoes are everywhere and some people need a full protective suit to keep themselves safe from the biting bugs.

The Spruce

In order to keep your garden in perfect shape, you need to protect it against soil erosion that results from exposure to the elements. This can be done with geomats, synthetic fiber materials designed specifically for this purpose.

How To Improve Public Relations Results with Social Media

Posted by Douglas Burdett

B2B marketers who use social media for public relations can spread their messages exponentially farther, and immediately monitor and respond to what's being said about them.

b2b public relations

While the formal practice of public relations has been around for over a century, in 1982 the Public Relations Society of America formally adopted a definition of public relations that remains accurate and accepted:

“Public relations helps an organization and its publics adapt mutually to each other.”

With social media, people now have one more platform from which to talk about companies and their products and services.  What's different about social media, however, is its viral nature. When someone mentions your company in social media, what's being said (accurately or not) can be more noticeable and spread very quickly.

In a Hubspot whitepaper on leveraging social media for public relations success, several benefits derived from social media are outlined:

Generate Media Coverage - There are 3 primary ways that social media can boost your media relations efforts:

  1. Developing relationships. Social media (especially Twitter) enables you to interact directly with many journalists, bloggers and reporters.  By communicating with and helping these influencers, you can increase your company's chances of being top-of-mind.
  2. Pitching.  Social media enables you to follow what the influencers have been covering, and occasionally, what stories they are developing. Armed with that additional background, you can pitch more relevant and helpful story ideas.
  3. Creating interesting content. Using social media, a B2B marketer can create interesting and even fun and entertaining content.  Publishing industry data and research that your company has fielded can be enormously effective.  This interesting content can be made available through social media channels such as a company blog and even a social media newsroom.

Social Media Monitoring & Crisis Communication - Social media monitoring is now a requirement for any PR professional.  But beyond just monitoring the conversations, social media enables B2B companies to engage in the conversation and respond.  The greatest benefit to PR efforts, however, can be your ability to respond in a crisis communications situation by updating your publics early, often, and with transparency.

Awards & Speaking Engagements - Winning awards is a type of third party validation and can also be a great recruiting tool. Social media can extend the announcement of the award winning.  Similarly, social media can help promote upcoming speaking engagements of your key employees to underscore you company's thought leadership. Social media such as SlideShare, enable you to share the presentations afterward.

Customer Relations - Your customers are one of your most important "publics." Increasingly, customers are using social media to reach you (and journalists are watching and listening).

Employee Relations - Like it or not, a company's employees double as PR representatives. Being transparent and facilitating good employee relations is critical to maintaining worker trust and morale.  Social media tools such as internal wikis and corporate instant messaging can help.

Fashion History, Theory and Practice

Published date
24 Jul 2018

Professors Judith Clark, Caroline Evans, Amy de la Haye, Alistair O’Neill (Reader) and Marketa Uhlirová (Senior Research Fellow), have established a field of academically rigorous fashion research with a new relevance for industry and society through collaborative and individual research.

Caroline Evans

Evans led the Fashion and Modernity project (2001 – 2004) bringing together historians, theoreticians, curators and practitioners from across UAL and beyond to explore fashion in relation to the idea of ‘being modern’. One of the outcomes of this project, the book Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity and Deathliness (2003) provided a blueprint for rethinking fashion history methodology and challenged older paradigms, while crediting a whole range of practitioners who produce contemporary fashion imagery.

Judith Clark

Fashion and Modernity was Judith Clark’s 2004/05 exhibition Malign Muses/Spectres, which developed arguments made in Evan’s publication into visual and three dimensional forms, showing that critical curation and theory could intersect in a public forum. Valerie Steele referred to the exhibition as ‘paradigm breaking’.

Alistair O'Neill

A further outcome of Fashion and Modernity was O’Neill’s Wolf Suschitzy: Charing Cross Road in the 1930s, analysing the photographer’s images of London street life from the perspective of fashion as a social agent of metropolitan change. The exhibition was followed by a book on a similar theme, but focused on London, London London: After a Fashion (2007). Another project, Fashion Lives (2005), was the first fashion exhibition organised around sound rather than material objects, challenging ideas about what such an exhibition could contain.

Amy De la Haye

De la Haye’s curates and writes biographies of garments, exploring their meanings and values from use to museum. Lucile Ltd: London, Paris, New York and Chicago 1890s 1930s (2009) with Valerie Mendes, examined previously un-accessed work from the V&A archives. The accompanying catalogue The Land Girls: Cinderellas of the Soil (2009/10) scrutinised land girl uniform. In the exhibition, de la Haye exploited this material evidence to propose new forms of curation in historical and museum contexts.

Marketa Uhlirová

Uhlirová’s Fashion in Film project (founded 2005) explores the intersections between film and clothing, arguing that existing film theories cannot explain the representation of fashion in film. She has curated Fashion in Film Festivals and publications exploring costume in relation to styling of crime and violence; spectacle and colour; and posed questions about politics and society, drawing parallels between many previously unlinked periods.

2016 ASC Honors Awards Recipients Announced

Categories: News & Media

Awards honor lifetime achievement for artists, scientists, historians and teachers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (April 5, 2016) – Eight creative and outstanding individuals who have impacted the cultural lives of residents and visitors of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region through their work will be recognized with ASC Honors Awards celebrating their lifetime achievement.

ASC Honors – Lifetime Achievement in the Fields of Arts, Science or History, given every three years, recognizes exceptionally creative individuals whose contributions have distinguished them and enriched the cultural and social history for Charlotte-Mecklenburg. The 2016 recipients are:

  • Dr. Tom Hanchett (history), author and former Levine Museum of the New South historian who also developed the Community Building Initiative’s bus tours that introduce participants to Charlotte’s historical racial landscape;
  • Tyrone Jefferson (music), executive director and musician with A Sign of the Times of the Carolinas and former music director and trombonist for music legend James Brown;

  • Beverly Penninger (film), a Charlotte native who began her career as a production assistant at WBTV before moving on to create documentaries of regional and national prominence; and
  • Dr. Raphael Tsu (science), a Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an acknowledged authority and world leader in the areas of quantum properties of materials and device physics.

Career achievement in teaching arts, science and history to students is also recognized through ASC Honors – Cato Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Awards. The 2016 recipients are:

  • Windy Fullagar (arts), band director, Alexander Graham Middle School, Charlotte;
  • Ann Jacob (history), fourth/fifth grade teacher, New Town Elementary, Waxhaw; and
  • Julie McConnell (science), biology teacher, William A. Hough High School, Cornelius.

“Charlotte-Mecklenburg is fortunate to have creative individuals and teachers of this caliber that enrich the cultural lives of everyone in our region and beyond through their work,” said ASC President Robert Bush. “ASC is proud to honor the contributions of artists, scientists, historians and educators whose careers have been marked by creativity, innovation and continuous intellectual exploration.”

The recipients will be honored at a ceremony in April and receive a bronze medallion by North Carolina artist Joanna Goldberg along with a cash award.

ASC Honors – Lifetime Achievement in the Fields of Arts, Science or History was established in 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ASC. Past recipients are: Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux and Patricia McBride (dance), Steve Crump (history/film), Herb Jackson (visual art), Dr. Francis Robicsek (science/medicine) and Arthur Smith (music) in 2008; and Robert Corbin (science), Clara Jones (music), Wesley Mancini (design), Dr. Dan Morrill (history) and Kathy Reichs (literature) in 2012.

The ASC Honors – Cato Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Awards was established in 2012 through a generous endowment gift from the Cato Corporation. The award, given every three years, honors Pre-K to grade 12 teachers in Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg and Union counties in North Carolina, or Lancaster and York counties in South Carolina. Past recipients are Byron Baldwin (art), Andrew West (history) and Libby Withrow (science).

Recipients have exhibited a career marked by innovation and excellence in teaching the arts, sciences or history or creatively infusing it into the core curriculum; school and community leadership; and dedication to the field of education.
