Retail boss says change coming for Christchurch - Stuff

The woman who has led prominent Christchurch department store Ballantynes through the city's earthquakes says the "momentum of change" is starting to sweep across the quake-hit city.

Ballantynes managing director Mary Devine has been made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to business.

Devine was appointed to her Ballantynes role shortly before the February 2011 earthquake, becoming the first female and the first non-family managing director since 1938.

She served as the chief executive of retailer EziBuy before taking on the job, and has been on the Canterbury Business Leaders Group executive.

Devine also served as a board member of New Zealand Global Women, and played a key role in developing the organisation's women in leadership programme.

Devine said she was "surprised and humbled" when notified of the honour.

"I was shocked: I had to read it [the letter] a couple of times actually to check that it was true."

She had faced "major challenges" since starting at Ballantynes.

She rated getting the department store ready for trading after the earthquake one of her career highlights.

"It's been all hands on deck from day one, and I'm very proud of the great work that the team has done."

The Re:Start container mall, made up of small shipping container shops around Ballantynes, had also been a major success.

Devine said the mall's success could provide a blueprint for the future of the retail precinct.

"It's something that was achieved in a very unique way, and it's very innovative on a global scale."

She had enjoyed her work with NZ Global Women, and felt the group had helped to increase the number of women leaders while drawing attention to the issue of gender representation.

"We have a strong voice at the table now, especially on the issue of diversity on boards."

Devine said 2013 would be "an exciting year" for Ballantynes and the city as rebuilding plans gathered pace and the future shape of the city started to take hold.

"We've done a lot of hard yards, but we can definitely feel the momentum of change," she said.

Measuring Guide

The below is just a guide. We recommend that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress to measure your wedding dresses size. Always get someone else to make the measurements for you.Measuring yourself will give inaccurate numbers and could lead to disappointment.

Bust

Bust - Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a unpadded bra when taking this measurement.

Waist

Waist- This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it`s an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline.Keep tape slightly loose to allow for breathing room

Hips

Hips- This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. This measurement is not needed for full gowns.

Hollow to Floor

Hollow to Floor- This is the length from your hollow ( the hollow just under your neck ) to your bare feet. (Take the tape from your front, straight down to the floor). You should stand upright and your feet should keep together.

Height

Height- Stand straight with feet together.Measure in bare feet.Begin at the top of the head and pull tape straight down to the floor.We'll Add more 5cm to suit high heels.

Photo: Charlie Sheen Parties With Mayor Villaraigosa In Mexico

This is winning: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa partied it up in Cabo last night, earning some high praise from the eternal party-boy himself, Charlie Sheen.

Sheen opened up a bar at the Hotel El Ganzo in Cabo last night named?what else??The Epic Bar, according to KPCC.

Slash performed, and early this morning around 8 am Sheen sent out a tweet with a picture of himself and the mayor: "From Boyle Heights 2 Mayor of LA..! @hotelelganzo 2 party w/SHEEN at SheenZ..! Antonio Villaraigosa knows how to party!"

And wouldn't Sheen know?

A spokesman for the mayor told KPCC that Villaraigosa would be in Mexico until Jan. 2, but it's not clear if the mayor was planning on mixing business with pleasure.

Church groups stitch a little love for Newtown residents

Church groups stitch a little love for Newtown residents 12-28-12

BIGFORK, Mont. -

Flathead Valley knitters are pulling out their yarn in hopes to stitch some love into scarves for residents of Newtown, Connecticut. But in an unexpected turn, their donations will end up helping people in Montana.

Many churches in the Flathead have their own prayer shawl groups - men and women who meet weekly to knit and crochet scarves that are blessed and given as a comfort to anyone in need.

"Our prayer shawls have just been a wonderful ministry," said Ginny Johnson.

So it was only a matter of time before Bigfork's Bethany Lutheran Church decided to reach out and make Hugs of Hope shawls for Newtown.

"We've kind of been thinking about it, all of us," said Johnson.

"The name came about by one of the ladies here in church," said Bonnie Hoffman. "We were discussing that and she said 'I really do think they are hugs of hope' and it stuck!"

To date, Bethany Lutheran has donated over 500 prayer shawls to people across the country and around the world. Now, their goal is to make 100 more for those who need it most. But recently, Newtown residents have received so many gifts they've? kindly asked people to stop sending them.

"They've requested we go ahead and give them locally in loving memory of the loved ones from Sandy Hook," explained Hoffman.

The shawls and scarves will now remain in the Flathead for others who seek out their warmth and healing.

"The gals were just as excited because they're going to stay here. We've designated six different groups already that need them," said Johnson.

"It's such a great thing to be able to spread His love and His hope and His peace not only throughout the world but right here in this valley where we need it most," said Hoffman.

Hoffman hopes this project will spark monthly "stitch out" sessions, each one designated towards a new charity or organization in the Flathead Valley.

NEWSFLASH! Phaedra Parks is Pregnant With 2nd Child! Baby ...

Remember that ?not so blind? item that I posted yesterday about a newly pregnant ?housewife??

[READ: Beach Body Motivation + Is There A Baby Bump On Board? (PHOTOS)]

Well if you guessed Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta? you were quite observant!

Parks officially confirmed that she and Apollo Nida have baby number 2 in the oven, and shared a photo of her baby bump to prove it!

Photo below?

Parks exclusively revealed the photo to People magazine, who released the news about an hour ago today:

Parks showed off her growing baby bump while on the beach in the Bahamas, where she?s vacationing with her family and friends.

The Atlanta entertainment lawyer married Nida, a certified personal trainer, in 2009 and the couple welcomed son Ayden a year later.

It all makes sense though right? Phaedra and Apollo recently released their ?Donkey Booty? workout series (click HERE for a sneak peek video) and there was not one photo of the pair showing off their physiques in the Bahamas.

You can consider this as my ?I told you so? post?

Now lil Ayden will have a brother or sister to play with! I?m sure it?s an exciting time for Phaedra and Apollo?. (and their timing is impeccable considering the next episode of RHOA will address rumors of strife in their marriage).

Judging from the size of her baby bump, she and Apollo will be bringing home their new arrival around April or May of 2013.

Getting Real With +Shadra Bruce, Owner of +MomsGetReal

How often have you dreamed of change but decided it was too hard ? or that you could only start working for the change on Mondays or the first of the month?

Change doesn?t happen because we think about it; it happens because we choose to take action.

It?s simply a matter of getting up.

Whether you want to lose weight, write a book, get a new job, or pay off debt, it all begins with you choosing to do more than simply think about taking action and actually taking the action.

Most people, when they think about change, get overwhelmed at the distance between where they are and where they want to end up. It?s not about arriving, though?it?s about the steps you take each day to get where you want to be.

You may want to pay off your credit cards, but the overwhelming debt may seem to be too much to face. But you can pay $5 or $10 more per month on a card and shave years and thousands of dollars off what you owe. A $10,000 credit card bill might seem like too much, but $5 a month is not overwhelming. (At 18% interest, an extra $5 per month can save you more than $20,000 in interest and cut more than 10 years off the repayment time).

Losing 50 pounds might seem like an enormous battle, but making one small change to having a salad instead of potato chips every day is manageable ? and effective. Exercising 30 minutes every day might seem like more than you can do, but taking the stairs rather than the elevator, or parking as far away from the entrance as possible is not.

Change happens when we stop putting mental barriers in the path of our journey through change.

Get up.

Kicking Off 2013 With Better Online Marketing | Simple SEO Group

Towards the end of the year and beginning of the new year, nearly everyone makes some sort of new years resolution. ?And for many businesses, that resolution is to be smarter in how they do business and more specifically be smarter about their marketing strategy to drive new business in the doors.

However, many businesses are still stuck in 2003, and haven?t quite realized we?re now closing in on 2013. ?This means they?re using outdated marketing strategies and tactics to position their business, when they should be jumping onto the internet to take advantage of more cost effective, result driven marketing campaigns. ?Whether SEO, PPC, social, or email, online marketing generally offers a better ROI and more detailed tracking than traditional marketing means. ?Here?s five things your business should be doing to kick off 2013 with a better marketing strategy:

Start By Determining What Does/Doesn?t Work

SEO doesn?t work for every business much like the yellow pages doesn?t work for every business, so take a step back to evaluate what does and doesn?t work for your business. ?Are you investing $10,000 into print ads but only seeing $5,000 in trackable returns? ?This might be a strong sign you should consider moving that money elsewhere, possibly into SEO, PPC, or a combination of the two.

Likewise it?s important to determine what does work for your company and allocate more resources accordingly. ?Are you seeing a 200% ROI through your PPC campaign? ?If so you may want to scale things up and see if you can continue to see that same ROI if you double, triple, or further increase your budget.

Develop A Strategy To Carry You Through The Year

Planning is extremely important in marketing. ?We often get clients who tell us their busiest time of the year is a certain month, but they tell us 2 days before that month begins which leaves us little time to get them positioned accordingly in search engines, setup new PPC campaigns, or build out an email marketing campaign. ?Make sure you plan at least 6 months in advance for your busiest, slowest, and most important times of the year so your marketing strategy can work to its fullest potential and carry you through that time period.

Track ROI, Not Cost

This perhaps is the most important and especially applies to small businesses and newer businesses. ?I?m always asked ?how much will this cost me? which really isn?t the right way to approach any sort of marketing decision (or business decision for that matter). ?Rather the question should be ?What kind of return on investment (ROI) will I see from that??.

For example, would you rather spend $500/month on SEO and see a $500/month ROI (100%) or would you rather spend $2,500/month on SEO and see a $5,000/month ROI (200%)? ?It really doesn?t come down to how much you?re spending, but rather comes down to how will what you spend generate new business and how much will it generate? ?Keep that in mind not just with your marketing decisions in 2013 but also with any type of business decision.

Stay Ahead Of The Curve

Do you feel like your business is years behind the trends or always behind the curve? ?It?s difficult to stay ahead of the curve as the internet allows the world, both online and offline, to change at an extremely rapid pace. ?However make sure you?re at least keeping up with the latest trends in marketing. ?Do you have regularly updated profiles on major social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and others? ?Are you making sure your website?s content is in lines with Google?s Panda and Penguin updates? ?Is your email marketing campaign following the latest best practices and laws to get the best ROI possible?

It?s important to keep up with all the latest developments and trends and to make sure your in-house marketing team or contracted marketing firm is able to assist. ?We like to take the new year to meet with all our clients to inform them of changes we see in trends and any other important updates that they should be aware of as we roll into a new calendar year.

Act On Your Plans

This is perhaps one of the most important, but many businesses have grand ideas of how to market their business but fail to act. ?We get new leads all the time from people who then take months of years to get the ball rolling with online marketing, all the while missing out on thousands upon thousands of dollars in potential new revenues.

It?s important now more than ever to be quick and concise with marketing and act on your plans, because if you don?t by next year they may be a thing of the past.

Any small business needs good marketing to be successful and competitive, so make sure your business is well positioned in 2013 to be the best it possibly can be!

Worshippers rejoice in Jesus' Bethlehem birthplace

BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) ? Pilgrims and locals celebrated Christmas Day on Tuesday in the ancient Bethlehem church built over the site where tradition holds Jesus was born, candles illuminating the sacred site and the joyous sound of prayer filling its overflowing halls.

Overcast skies and a cold wind didn't dampen the spirits of worshippers who came dressed in holiday finery and the traditional attire of foreign lands to mark the holy day in this biblical West Bank town. Bells pealed and long lines formed inside the fourth-century Church of the Nativity complex as Christian faithful waited eagerly to see the grotto that is Jesus' traditional birthplace.

Duncan Hardock, 24, a writer from MacLean, Va., traveled to Bethlehem from the republic of Georgia, where he had been teaching English. After passing through the separation barrier Israel built to ward off West Bank attackers, he walked to Bethlehem's Manger Square where the church stands.

"I feel we got to see both sides of Bethlehem in a really short period of time," Hardock said. "On our walk from the wall, we got to see the lonesome, closed side of Bethlehem ... But the moment we got into town, we're suddenly in the middle of the party."

Bethlehem lies 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of Jerusalem. Entry to the city is controlled by Israel, which occupied the West Bank in 1967.

Hardock's girlfriend, 22-year-old Jennifer Gemmell of Longmont, Colorado, compared the festive spirit in Manger Square on Christmas Eve, saying "it's like being at Times Square at New Year's."

The cavernous church was unable to hold all the worshippers who had hoped to celebrate Christmas Day Mass inside. A loudspeaker outside the church broadcast the service to the hundreds in the square who could not pack inside.

Tourists in the square posed for pictures as vendors hawked olive wood rosaries, nativity scenes, corn on the cob, roasted nuts, tea and coffee.

An official from the Palestinian tourism ministry predicted 10,000 foreigners would visit Bethlehem on Christmas Day and said 15,000 visited on Christmas Eve ? up 20 percent from a year earlier. The official, Rula Maia'a, attributed the rise in part to the Church of the Nativity's classification earlier this year as a U.N. World Heritage Site.

Christians from Israel ? Arab citizens and others ? also boosted the number of visitors.

Information technology consultant Martin Wzork came to Bethlehem with his wife and young daughter from Krakow, Poland.

"My wife believes in God, so it's important for her," said Wzork, who described himself as a non-believer. "For me, it's interesting because it's a historical place and famous."

On Christmas Eve, thousands of Christians from all over the world packed the square, which was awash in light, resplendent with decorations and adorned by a lavishly decorated, 17-meter (55-foot) fir tree. Their Palestinian hosts, who welcome this holiday as the high point of their city's year, were especially joyous this season, proud of the United Nations' recognition of an independent state of Palestine just last month.

Israel, backed by the United States, opposed the Palestinian statehood bid, saying it was a ploy to bypass negotiations, something the Palestinians deny. Talks stalled four years ago.

Later Tuesday, the world's Christmas focus will shift to Vatican City, where Pope Benedict XVI will deliver his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" speech ? Latin for "to the city and the world" ? from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans gathered in the piazza below.

The speech traditionally reviews world events and global challenges, and ends with the pope delivering Christmas greetings in dozens of languages.
