The creator of the Ultimo bra has appointed one Michelle Mone

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:24:36 GMT

The creator of the Ultimo bra has appointed one Michelle Mone, company director and mother of three, as the new "face and body" of her latest clothing line.

According to the press release from MJM International, it was the company's board of directors who, after seeing Mrs Mone pose for an exclusive shoot with Hello! magazine, ditched the idea of hiring an expensive celebrity and persuaded her to front the new advertising campaign.

According to the company's most recent accounts, the board of directors consists of just four people Ms Mone, her husband, Michael Mone, the company's finance director, Catherine MacRae and Scott Kilday. Asked if, in fact, this was actually her own idea, a spokeswoman said: "No, no... not at all. Michelle has been very reticent."

Since the beginning of the year, Ms Mone, who has lost six stone and is marketing a new herbal supplement, TrimSecrets, as the cause of her weight loss, has been claiming that she planned to strip off and model her own underwear.

The Ultimo Couture, however, is a range of evening dresses which will be sold exclusively at Debenhams.

Ms Mone, 38, said: "I love getting glammed up for special occasions, but I was tired of spending a small fortune on dresses and wanted to bring affordable eveningwear to the high street.

"Being best known for lingerie, I also wanted to offer dresses that incorporate our bra expertise – so each of these designs feature unique inner support, which I know women will really appreciate.

The dress was provocative as it seemed to be made out of lace just like one of those honeymoon dresses up on sale.

The dress was provocative as it seemed to be made out of lace just like one of those honeymoon evening dresses up on sale. It was however an illusion dress as Venus would describe it, making it seem see-through when worn.
in part to what Supervisor of Student Services Lib Sells called the “Hannah Montana trend” in leggings — basically tights without feet — the county school system has amended its elementary, middle and high school dress codes.

Sells said she wants to be sure to get the word out about the changes before parents and students shop for clothes for the 2010-11 school year starting in August.

The elementary dress code was amended by adding the following language: “In grades 3, 4 and 5, short shorts, halter tops, midriff-baring shirts and strapless dresses/tops or spaghetti straps are not allowed. Leggings must be worn under another garment which meets dress code requirements.”

The Sullivan County Board of Education unanimously approved the changes at its May 10 meeting, where Sells mentioned the Hannah Montana wardrobe effect. That is the name of a character Cyrus plays on a Disney Channel show.

Sells said Cyrus and her character have made leggings popular with female students.

It is possible for stuck Mars rover

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:47:45 GMT

Just weeks after landing in a Martian crater in 2004, it went haywire and transmitted gibberish to Earth. Engineers eventually nursed it back to health.

As if the near-death experience wasn't enough, Spirit was upstaged early on by its twin, Opportunity, which landed in a geologic gold mine and was the first to determine that the frigid, dusty planet possessed a wetter past.

Bad luck has fallen again on Spirit. As the workhorse rover marked its sixth year on the red planet yesterday, it finds itself stuck in a sand trap, perhaps forever. The six-wheel robot geologist has been in jams before, but this is the worst predicament yet.

With Martian winter arriving in several months, Spirit may not have enough power to keep going unless scientists can point the solar-powered rover toward the sun.

Spirit "has always been our drama queen," chief scientist Steve Squyres of Cornell University said.

NASA was dealt a major setback recently when another wheel appeared to have stopped moving, leaving Spirit with only four working wheels to plot its great escape.

"With only four driving wheels, it doesn't look good," project manager John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said.

The latest misfortune occurred in April when Spirit, driving backward because of a lame wheel, broke through the crusty ground like a person falling through a frozen pond and became bogged in fluffy sand. Little progress has been made to free Spirit since.

Top Tips for Landing Your First Job

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:47:37 GMT

* Make an excellent impression at your clinical site. They'll often offer open positions to students they know, trust and don't have to train extensively. * Get references from your clinical site. Ask professionals with some leverage, like supervisors or physicians, and only ask people that you know will give you a glowing recommendation. * Be proactive: Apply for jobs before you graduate. * Take your certification exams as soon as possible after graduation. Credentials after your name add instant appeal to employers looking for a strong candidate. * Don't confine yourself to looking for jobs in the papers or on the Internet--do both. And don't forget to check out a facility's Web site, which could have job openings that aren't posted anywhere else. * Make your application and resume stand out. Poor grammar and punctuation errors are deal breakers. Note to new grads: Unstable work history and job-hopping are also red flags for employers. Make sure you're sending a good message as you accrue work experience. * The more hands-on experience you can highlight in your resume, the better. * Always send a well-edited cover letter with your resume, and make sure it highlights your achievements and specific skill set. * Don't be afraid to respond to a job listing that asks for more experience than you have. Job postings list the ideal candidate, but if you capitalize on what you do have to offer and research your weak spots, you can realistically get the job. * Try to contact the department supervisor directly. The process for reviewing resumes can be an imperfect science, and human resources may disregard your resume if it doesn't meet stringent guidelines. Contacting the supervisor directly emphasizes your interest in the job and can land you an interview.

A Good Place to Do Businesses avoiding heat feeling in summer months

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:04:22 GMT

All businesses should think about what aspect of their offering actually appeals more in summer and pump money into promotion. You have to take a proactive approach rather than just waiting for the shortfall and making the best of it. You have to give the consumer more reason to part with hard-earned cash.

Our advertising over the summer is tailored towards short-term memberships so potential members can try before they commit, get in shape for summer then sign up full time afterwards if they wish. This also works well for students returning home from university who only have a couple of months to spare.

I'm fortunate that my businesses are diverse. As well as the health clubs, we have a high street bar and a hotel business which flourishes in the summer with plenty of seasonal weddings and al fresco dining with champagne flowing. The Hastings Spa Hotel is doing particularly well this summer, as holidaymakers opt to stay in the UK in light of the recession and the poor exchange rate with the euro.

It's not only customers but also employees who test the resilience of businesses by taking summer holidays. With staff, it's more a case of organisation. I leave it to my capable club managers to make sure there are no tricky overlaps and that there are enough hands on deck to deliver the service our customers expect.

The summer season does place unusual pressures on businesses but if you know what your customers want and make sure you have enough staff to look after them, there's a chance to steal a march on competitors and make hay while the sun shines.

Get rid of boring and have a little bit more fun with my clothes

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 08:55:02 GMT

It starts with building a relationship with that person – you ask what kind of activities he does, what does he do, is it soccer practice with the kids, or mountain hiking with the buddies, figuring out what he likes to do and what’s comfortable. Or, it could be saying, ‘Tell me three events you have coming up that you want to have a certain look for,’ and we start there. We have some clothes that do a remarkable job of being both functional and fashionable.

Having those kinds of conversations, and finding out what their needs are, for instance, do you want to wear denim to these events, or regular trousers? We’ve had a tremendous run on the five-pocket pant, which is like denim, but a khaki pant, and it’s easy to move guys from one to the other, a lot quicker than a khaki trouser, because that connotates something different. All of a sudden the wife or girlfriend is smiling because he’s not wearing jeans anymore, but is wearing khaki pants.

Kids 'at higher risk from traffic pollution particles than adults

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:48:19 GMT

The study, led by Professor Jonathan Grigg, shows that the lung capacity of 8- and 9-year-olds is five percent lower than the national average.

And seven percent of the kids have lung function reduced to a level internationally regarded as hazardous.

The particles are produced in vehicle exhaust and are far smaller than the width of a human hair.

After analysing the particles collected on roadside leaves, the study concluded that the pollution can be most intense at the height of many children.

"Now, if that's due to air pollution, as we suspect, they're going to be at increased risk from a range of respiratory disorders such as asthma and infection, and may be at risk in adulthood," he added.

"Our findings in the East End of London are that children living here have slightly lower lung function than what we'd expect from the national average," the BBC quoted Professor Grigg as saying.

Columbus Blue Jackets offseason selling

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:03:58 GMT

The Blue Jackets' annual offseason search for a skilled defenseman might compel them to make a huge offer to unrestricted free agent Jay Bouwmeester.
It's unclear if Bouwmeester — after six years playing for the Florida Panthers — would consider signing on with another club in a non-traditional hockey market.

But the Blue Jackets, unlike lots of other NHL clubs, have the salary cap room to make a significant offer, upwards of $6 million per season. However, the Blue Jackets' power play was the worst in the NHL last season.

And the Jackets certainly have a need.

The Blue Jackets' blue line is made up of stay-at-home checking types — Mike Commodore, Jan Hejda, Fedor Tyutin, Rostislav Klesla are the current top four. The only player with an ounce of offensive skill is second-year pro Kris Russell, who might still be a season or two away from significant point production.
