Gio Goi and Deadmau5 have built a close relationship and the music phenomenon  often wears the brand at his performances around the world.</p>

It has hosted a number of events over the years with the last one attracting over 450 million global viewers. It is the only event in the world that allows music starts to enter the fashion world and vice versa. The event is held to raise money for the princes trust which is one of worlds most famous charities. The charity has a huge number of influential backers with the Prince of Wales heavily involved in many of its charity fundraising events.</p>
<p>The company has now an ecommerce element on it site fashionrocks.com. It is a brilliant site that manages to combine the content of the events with ecommerce functionality.</p>
<p>There is a great range of brands from Armani to less well know brands that add some great style to the over all mix and feel. There is a brilliant lookbook with SS!! Product that allows users to click through and buy what they are looking at. There is a blog and loads of content from the old events that you could spend hours watching.</p>
<p>There is no doubt as this site starts to grow it will compete on a global level with the net and mr porters of this world. There are many ecommerce sites out there today and it is all about making the brand stick out and Fashionrocks can do this through its important brand position in the fashion world.</p>
<p>Lets hope there is another event coming soon.</p>

<p>A spokesperson for Miami international airport said that four of the six concourses had been evacuated and a police bomb squad had arrived and were clearing the area of any potential threats and other devices.</p>
<p>In total it is thought around 100-200 people have been evacuated from the airport and there will be no word on when it will reopen until the police are happy there is no threat to passenger safety.</p>
<p>Flights destined for the airport have been diverted to alternative airports and is thought the disruption could carry on for some time.</p>
<p>The traffic around the airport is in chaos as roads are blocked and people waiting to get picked up have started to walk from the airport to nearest the point so they can find transportation.</p>
<p>After 9-11 situations like this are taking extremely seriously and the police and investigating authorises will take their time to clear the airport and make sure there is no more hidden threats.</p>

There are around 640 staff based at these offices and they were called into the meeting yesterday afternoon to find out the bad news.</p>
<p>RBS has announced that 200 of these employees will be offered the opportunity to move down to their other offices on Cadogan street.</p>
<p>The move is a bitter blow for Glasgow but it was not unexpected. It was back in May the firm announced that over 2000 jobs were going to be cut after a ruling from the European Commission that ordered the sale of this arm of the company.</p>
<p>There has however been a back lash from unions who maintain this is still a job cutting exercise and it is just part of the fall out caused by the company&#8217;s irresponsible behaviour.</p>
<p>The unions are now calling on RBS to sit down and come clean with their planned job cuts over the next few years. The unions have also pointed the finger at the government and claimed they could have done more to try and prevent these job losses.</p>
<p>However in reality the government is going to struggle with these issues over the next few years as companies start to make redundancies. The fact is economically, and socially, things are going to get very hard over the next few years and job losses are going come as a result.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/soccer-city.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2381" title="South Africa Ready To Face Australia In Tri Nations" src="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/soccer-city-300x183.jpg" alt="South Africa Ready To Face Australia In Tri Nations" width="274" height="174" /></a>Later today the springboks will face Australia to try and get their rugby back on track with a win at Pretoria. World champions South Africa have had one their worst tri nations in years and are in determined mood to put that right later today.</p>
<p>They are still hurting from a crushing home defeat to the All Blacks last weekend. South Africa had the initiative with just five minutes to go when New Zealand managed to get two late tries and snatch the win. The game was played at the new Soccer stadium in front of 90,000 supporters.</p>
<p>Surprisingly it was the South African rock John Smit playing in his 100th cap that missed the last tackle of the game to give the win away. He will be followed today be fellow bring springbok Victor Matfield who is winning his 100th cap today.</p>
<p>When asked about South Africa today Matfield replied,</p>
<p>&#8220;Hopefully a desperate Springboks side that know we need to get back on track, a team&#8217;s that&#8217;s not happy with the way we&#8217;re performing at the moment that really want to get back to that standard that we&#8217;re used to.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is hoped Pretoria which is a traditional strong hold for South African rugby will help lift the boks and get the win they so desperately need.</p>
<p>However it is not going to be an easy task with a very talented Australia side determined to get an away win in this year&#8217;s competition. Australia managed to beat South Africa last time round and it was the performance of Austrians number seven, David Pocock that has dominated pre match chat this time.</p>
<p>The South African coach has already said they have formulated a plan to take Pocock out of the game, and I think we can guess it will involve a lot of physicality, but no other side has managed to contain him yet.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s tri nations has already been claimed by the dominant All blacks but the winner of today&#8217;s game will claim the Mandela Cup and a much needs boost in confidence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/google.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2374" title="Google Changes Favour Brands" src="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/google-300x180.jpg" alt="Google Changes Favour Brands" width="269" height="161" /></a>Google have confirmed recent speculation they have made significant changed to their algorithm. The new changes mean a single domain can dominate the first page of the search results. The SEO world stated to notice these changes appearing over the past year but Google would not comment on any of the changes.</p>
<p>It became real when Google applied for a patent that help recognise when a search query involves a particular entity, and if that entity can be associated with a specific website, it may show multiple results.</p>
<p>To make this more simple to understand go on to Google and search Apple, Reuters News  or Dell Help, they will show the same domain dominating the majority of the search results. This is a significant change in Google&#8217;s search engine, before there would be two or three results for the priority domains.</p>
<p>A Google spokes person said,</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve launched a change to our ranking algorithm that will make it much easier for users to find a large number of results from a single site. For queries that indicate a strong user interest in a particular domain, we&#8217;ll now show more results from the relevant site.&#8221;</p>
<p>The change seems to put more of a focus on the searcher, the search engine is asking them to think a bit more when they search. The move is going to cause a lot of problems for affiliate firms that were using sites to try and rank on the first page of these search terms.</p>
<p>However the move has received a large amount of criticism. Many people believe the firms who have been knocked off page one will now be forced to use pay per click and Google will reap the benefits</p>
<p>There is no doubt there is less choice on the front page on these search terms and we will have to wait and see if this is a good or bad thing for users.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/south-africa.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2366" title="Online Poker Is Banned In South Africa" src="http://www.patriarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/south-africa-300x180.jpg" alt="Online Poker Is Banned In South Africa" width="282" height="170" /></a>South Africa in one of the first moves of its kind has banned all forms of online gaming including online poker. This is a really brave move and is one of first of its type. The US authorities implemented a similar move under President Bush but it has proved hard to police and enforce.</p>
<p>The new legislation makes it illegal to play or partake in any  type of online poker and if caught you will face prosecution and penalties up to R10 million and up to 10 years in prison. So if you are still intending to play <a href="http://www.fulltiltpoker.com?key=MDAwMTEwMEQwMDAyQ0ZBNjIwNDI0MDI0MDAwMDAwMDA-" target="_blank"><strong>Online Poker</strong></a> you better make sure you make your money’s worth because the risks are extremely high.</p>
<p>It was a court in Gaetung that made the ruling but it will be a matter of time to see if the ruling will actually have an impact on the industry. Most online poker companies are located offshore so it will be almost imposable to stop these companies operating so the full responsibly of this ruling is going to be placed on the player.</p>
<p>Lucky Lukhwareni, the head of legal services said,</p>
<p>“We approached the media to alert them of the judgement which makes online casino operations illegal, and if they continue we will have them arrested and fight for conviction.”</p>
<p>When you compare this to the US ruling it has had a negative effect on online poker but there is still a substantial amount of people playing the game in the US and there have been few convictions for players and <a href="http://www.fulltiltpoker.com?key=MDAwMTEwMEQwMDAyQ0ZBNjIwNDI0MDI0MDAwMDAwMDA-" target="_blank"><strong>Online Poker</strong></a> operators.</p>
