Get Really Personal with Your Personal Brand

You might not be the offspring of Trump, Branson or Vanderbilt, but you do have a personal brand legacy. Consider your heritage: your parents, community, region, country, culture and ancestry. Pegging to your authentic underpinnings, which is your brand DNA, might be the platform you need right now, as you define the constellation of characteristics that sell you as a personal brand.

Before I take leave of this computer for the long weekend, it's time to attend to one of the most contentious issues on the Web: the Gmail folders-versus-labels controversy.

Since Google launched its free Web-mail service on April Fool's day of 2004, it has insisted that Gmail's labeling system--in which you can tag messages with one or more labels like "work," "repeatedly forwarded jokes," "spam," etc.--works better than traditional folders for organizing your messages.

That argument has some logic to it: With labels, you can file a message in more than one place, just as playlists work in a music program. But many Gmail users have spent too much time with folder-centric mail programs to give that up. Many others don't bother with labels at all--at one point, only 29 percent of Gmail users had created even one, the Mountain View, Calif., company revealed in a blog post yesterday.

Back in February, Google relented on its label-centric view, adding a "Move To" command that both applies a label to a message and transfers it from Gmail's seemingly endless inbox to an archive folder, named after that label.

Yesterday, Google conceded a little more. Gmail now displays your labels just below its real folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam). You can label a message by dragging a label from that list onto the message. And you can label and move messages in one step by dragging them onto the label listed at the right--the same action you'd use to chuck that e-mail into a folder in a program like Microsoft's Outlook or Apple's Mail.

If you'd place yourself in the folder-traditionalist camp, are these latest Gmail tweaks good enough for you? If you'd rather categorize yourself as a labeler, has Google compromised the concept too much with this step? Sound off in the comments... but, please, not if that would get in the way of watching parades, setting off fireworks, catching a baseball game or other appropriate July 4th weekend activities.

With freezing weather all set to arrive, a boiler break down is the last thing you would want. But, when it does happen, there are no warning signals nor does it wait for the week end to be over. Users or owners seldom have any control over such events. The freezing temperatures do not allow us the luxury of waiting endlessly either. How then do we ensure warmth and comfort during such times? Here are some useful tips:

1. Get reliable plumbing services

Once the winter sets in, a boiler break down can be even more challenging because getting a reliable plumbing service to fix things up can be next to a nightmare. The Internet however has changed that to a large extent. You have several web sites offering their services. In several major cities around UK, you can even use Google maps to find a service that is closest to your home or office.

2. Avoid DIY Kits

DIY kits are not the best option to fix a boiler break down . In the first place, the general life span of a boiler is around 15 years. Unless you are an expert yourself, you could be confronted with a spares problem or even a situation which the DIY kit cannot address. Another reason in support of using professional services is that you will need your boiler back in action quickly. You cannot afford to experiment with a boiler break down remedy especially if you are in the midst of a cold winter.

3.  Pre-season inspection

A smart way of ensuring warmth (with some luck) all through those chilly days would be a pre-season inspection of your boilers. The major advantage is that getting a plumber can be far easier during summer than during the peak days of winter. So spot the problem early.
