Reputed Media and Other Agencies Decried By Sathya Sai Baba?s Defenders
2009-10-27 00:21:00 Those who defend Sathya Sai Baba and his global cult would tirelessly denigrate and defame all who seriously question him and his Sathya Sai Organization. Quite apart from former followers and other critics, their targets include leading journalists and broadcasters of repute who have investigated Sathya Sai Baba and his sect. This fact alone suggests the cultic mind at work. Being one of those centrally involved in approaches to Interpol, media, UNESCO, and other agencies in attempting to bring third party scrutiny to the Sathya Sai Baba and his core accomplices, I have repeatedly seen how demanding journalists and officials of these professional organizations are. Media include the BBC, DR, CBC, ABC, SBS, India Today, Times of London, Telegraph, the Guardian, the Age, Gatopado, West Australian, (Adelaide) Advertiser, and newspapers in Europe, Canada and and still others.
Brand Positioning Online In The Age Of Consumer Driven Media
2009-10-26 19:15:00 I landed up on a blog post about advertising and communications, about how they are different from one another and their overall impact on brand positioning. In essence the post revolved around the idea that advertising is brand positioning and not communicating product details. My immediate reaction, whether right or wrong, was that this idea doesn’t hold true online. So I set myself up on finding resources on the web that might prove me right. Blame my morbid luck these days, I only found well SEO’d and utterly useless articles in my search. It basically left me with no reference to create a hypothesis at the least on why I found the post perhaps not applicable to the web. And given my lack of any strong technical background of marketing and branding, I perhaps shouldn’t be speculating on the same. However, this did give me enough thought on how a brand and its positioning efforts need to take in to account social media. Clearly it wasn’t just about where y...

Jay Cutler and Lovie Smith Address the Media after Bengal Beatdown
2009-10-26 05:01:00 In case you are still interested in following the Bears, here's a brief video clip of Jay Cutler and Lovie Smith addressing the media immediately after the 45-10 beatdown they took from the Cincinnati Bengals. I guess there's not too much to say when you get completely owned. Cutler actually responded better than I expected. Maybe he's already accepted his fate for this season - to be running for his life. People talked about his lousy record in Denver for a team that had no running game and no defense. I'm just saying. Lovie saying it was a tough day at the office has to be the understatement of the year. If he's not officially on the hot seat already,...
Debate: A Need For Freedom From Restrictions On Social Media’s Use At
2009-10-22 07:43:00 Lets face it, majority of the companies block social media sites, especially social networking sites in the offices. On the other hand, same companies want to publicize themselves / their products through the same social media. So what is the main reason for companies to avoid using their workforce as their social media publicity team and not leverage the extended networks of their employees? Let us drill down on the reasons from the perspective of employers on blocking the social media sites. As they say, “With great power comes greater responsibility” and according to most of the companies, the responsibility part is more often than not ignored 1)Â Procrastination – This is by far the most important reason for companies to block all the social networking websites in the offices. When people start abusing instead of using the facility, the work planning suffers and the companies are not yet willing to pay you for chatting with 10 friends at the same time. 2) Perce...

Lord Paul Swarj Under British Police Investigation
2009-10-12 23:45:00 I have written of the Sathya Sathya Sai Baba-implicated and high-profile British Labour Government Minister, Tony McNulty MP, and police investigations into allegations of rorting the British taxpayer. The very wealthy Lord Paul of Marylebone (See Wikipedia note below) is now under police investigation for the same reason. In probing Lord Paul, the British media might like, while investigating, to see whether Paul has been assisting the Sathya Sai Organization, as has been Tony McNulty. Both have long been powerfully influential in the British Labour Party.

It has been important for us to take advice from outstanding abuse professionals, lawyers, and so on. The temerity, and in some cases the naivity, of some requests to us for even the most sensitive information might stagger those who had not become used to it.

It was clear by the end of the competition that there was a conspiracy against me There are a group of the world's Jews who had a major influence in the elections who were a serious threat to Egypt taking this position !! Strangely from two weeks ago he was trying to show the world that he is the best friend the Jews have ever got , it is ironic , is not it !!??

A Tie For Hosni
2009-09-22 15:43:00 Now it is either Egyptian ?unfortunately? Farouk Hosni and Bulgarian Irina Bokova after their tie in yesterday?s fourth round in UNESCO elections for 29-29 votes. The last 48 hours were tense for Hosni , after all what he got 4 votes compared to Bokova who got 16 votes. The United States and France for sure are standing behind her along with the European countries that believe Hosni does not deserve this important cultural position. The international press continues its attack on Hosni who always felt that the national press was attacking him , let him taste the really media attack is , French Le Monde attacked him and NY Times introduced a new disturbing unknown fact to the Western reader about Hosni : While being the Egyptian cultural attaché in Rome, he helped to organize the escape from Italy in 1985 of the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro !! This fact was taken from an Elaph?s website article that I can?t determine whether it is with or agains...
Why Do I Smell A Conspiracy In This !!??
2009-09-22 13:30:00 Yesterday I was shocked to find a photo in Al Dostor newspaper?s first page for kids inside the rare birds cage in the Giza Zoo !! One of these kids was carrying a very rare peacock in his hand as if he was holding a chicken or something !! Terrible photos and terrible start for the morning after being sick for the past 2 day !! The report spoke also about the poor salaries of the guards who can?t protect the cages from similar attacks , after all they take only about LE 240 monthly /LE 8 per day ? $44 per month/$1.45 per day !!? , how will they protect the cages !!?? The newspaper goes today with its reports on that black day in the Zoo with experts warning that the day will come and we will find lions roaming in our streets !!?? Not to mention the diseases the animals they will transfer !! Strangely the Zoo had much more animals in the past and they did not transfer any disease to anyone !!??

Do Not Blame It On The Pigs
2009-09-22 10:30:00 Michael Slackman has decided that the latest garbage problem in Egypt is the result of Mubarak?s decision to kill all the pigs despite the direct reason ?which he mentioned in his report in a fast reference if I may say" is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies and the governorates. Just put things straight here I would to mention some points : The main reason of this problem is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies with the governorates. Another main reason to be honest is how our government is dealing with the crisis, if the government wants really to solve this problem ,it could do ; after all when Gamal Mubarak visited Agouza, the streets had been cleaned for him and I saw it by my own eyes !! Sometimes this regime like previous regimes creates crisis for its own people to make them busy from things that really matters. Not all the pigs were killed , this is a fact Mr.Slackman forgot to mention , for some reason suddenly the decision was froz...

Laila Abdel Salam speaks with Amr Adib along Ambassador Dr.Rafaat El-Ansari who had his share in the real spies war. Ambassador El-Ansari has very interesting story which insh Allah will be featured in Egyptian Chronicles after my recovery ;) She revealed more information about her story which is simple and so short , her trip in Italy , it only took about a month or even less to arrest Mario , the Spy of Israel in Egypt , yes he was not in Rome but in Egypt. By the way here is Laila in early 1970s, she looked like Nahed El-Sharif more than Menna Shalby if I may say.

The Key To Qaddafi?s Personality
2009-09-21 13:18:00 I know that I am lazy and I should have written this post from couple of weeks ago when the Fath so called Revolution 40th celebrations were the talk of world after all it was not usual to see all those guests especially from the west celebrating with Qaddafi , the same man they fought for 40 years. 40 Years had passed and the Libyan policies have been changing in the same way the moods of Qaddafi have been, from socialism to capitalism, from East to West , from Arab nationalism to African nationalism, from a colonel who downed a monarchy to the king of kings of Africa. Of course in this year?s celebration the main focus Qaddafi as it has always been in the past 40 years in Libya. To understand the key of this man?s personality who many consider mad , we must go back to history but I must tell you that this an is not mad as you may think. It was well known and documented that when Qaddafi led his coup against the As-Senussi Royal Family in 1969 President Nasser congratulated th...
She Needs Your Prayers
2009-09-21 13:04:00 Former Princess Ferial Farouk is currently in a critical condition in Switzerland , she needs our prayers now so much more than any time. I know for sometime now that she fought cancer for a while in her life where she conquered it with a very high price : part of her digestive system was removed :( . For some reason it was not declared ; may be because she considered something personal and I respected this decision from her side . Yet unfortunately it seems that in the past few weeks the cancer has returned back in vengeance. She has returned back to her simple home in Switzerland after being in the hospital , she is currently 24/7 medical surveillance. The former princess had visited Egypt earlier this year and made an interview with Ahmed El-Muslamany which I am currently looking for to post here. Ferial Farouk needs your prayers now , this woman had seen a lot and remember she went and other Republican princesses came and enjoyed the wealth of this country more than any ...
The Myths Of Social Media And The Truth About Them
2009-09-21 08:57:00 It is a common human psyche that whenever a new thing emerges and explodes in the social circuit, there are lots of opinionated views about the same, and some of them result in myths being born. Social Media is one such example, which has been examined by a plethora of enthusiasts to the minutest of details. In the process many have concluded that there are some ideas which are a complete contrast to the original ideas and thus they have resulted in the myths being formed about Social Media. Let’s get to know – What are the most common Social Media Myths and the truths in them? Social Media helps us calculate various media metrics; but all should be in the form of data. Let me remind you, this is the era where data is available, we are still to reach that Utopian era where knowledge is available on the social media front. To come to a conclusion after fair amount of examination, only data is needed, and not knowledge, because data will never trump the simplest of theor...

Could The Fiefdom Of Foursquare Become The New Twittersphere?

Nonetheless, it was interesting because the Focus seems to be quick, and of course it's completely silent. With a 50/50 weight balance (due to the battery pack in the trunk), it also handles. Jay made the mistake of saying the car was built in Dearborn, which is not entirely true. The final tuning of it was, bit otherwise it's a Ford of Europe Focus (a significantly better Focus than the lame one sold in North America) with a prototype battery pack engineered by Ford of Europe.

Queen Fatimah of Libya
2009-09-20 11:43:00 For the first time since a very long time Queen Fatimah of Libya , the last living Queen from the Senussi dynasty was the subject of an Arabic newspaper report . Of course I understand why the Saudi owned Pan Arab newspaper Al Sharq Al Awsat made a report about the 91 years old Queen in exile in the same Qaddafi was celebrating the 40 anniversary of his co-called revolution which is a military coup to be accurate. Queen Fatimah has been living in exile in Cairo since the revolution in 1969 , currently the old Queen is in hospital , hopefully she will get well. I wish time will come and she will see the day her country without Al-Qaddafi. The former Queen has won recently a lawsuit against the State in Libya to restore her old palace in some Libyan city , I do not know if it were Benghazi or Tripoli but I know that currently this palace is the new HQ of the British Embassy in Libya if I were not mistaken. Here is a photo taken for her from several years ago along with an adv...

Reducing media bias through regulation ¦ Vox [del.icio.us]
2009-09-18 14:22:00 [W]e show how advertising can seriously interfere with the quality, accuracy, and breadth of content and programming in the media (Ellman and Germano 2009). Biased content is most likely when competition amongst media outlets is limited or when advertisers are large and can threaten to withdraw their advertising business from the media. The analysis extends to media dependence on any business or state actors that can substantially affect media company profits. Analysing the delicate interaction between advertisers, financiers, media outlets, and media audiences within a two-sided markets framework generates new insights for policymakers. Our work points to the need for independent media and makes the case for promoting competition and public funding.

Do Not Stone Her Alone
2009-09-18 11:47:00 Dr. Hala Mustafa, the chief in editor of ?Democracy? magazine is facing an investigation in the journalists syndication and this is just the start ; what did Dr. Hala do ??
