Its a Friday, so lets have some fun.

One of my guilty pleasures is Pretty Woman. I dont know how many times Ive seen it but I watched it again a week or so ago and loved it just as much.

Whilst watching, it occurred to me that the film is quite a fun analogy for why a correctly positioned brand is so important and why a considered brand identity is crucial when it comes to creating the right perception.

It should, by now, be obvious where Im going with this but in the spirit of stating the beedin obvious, Ill continue.

Brand perception is vital to attracting the customers you want. Whilst brand perception is something that develops over time as you build your reputation and deliver on your promises, the way you position your brand is in your hands.

Your brand identity is the visible elements of your brand, from your company logo through to the colours, shapes, patterns, textures and fonts that you use. Get these wrong and youll give the wrong impression.

Russian Internet censorship was broadened this week to include animal protection as two doghunter websites were banned in St. Petersburg.

Russia has a thriving underground community of vigilantes who kill off arguably dangerous stray dogs in areas where animal control measures are ineffective. An estimated 1 million strays roam the streets nationally and people have been wounded and even killed in attacks by hungry dogs.

The court ban was imposed at the request of city prosecutors, who said on their website that the sites violate Russian laws on information, the animal world and protection of minors.

The move may spell a change in Russias approach to dog-hunters, none of whom have so far been found guilty of animal abuse. The countrys animal rights legislation only criminalizes animal abuse committed out of hooliganism, for profit or in front of minors.

Meanwhile, doghunters claim to be doing the governments job in protecting the public. Some 16,600 people were attacked in Moscow alone by stray animals in 2008, the last year for which statistics are available, according to the city branch of the Federal Consumer Protection Service.

Russia was not known before for blacklisting websites accused of animal abuse. The country already censors online extremist content, pirated films and websites deemed to promote suicide, illegal drugs and child pornography.

The list of topics subjected to online censorship is increasing, with promotion of unauthorised rallies added in late December.

New Delhi, Jan 13 (IANS) Social media has been playing a destructive role in inciting communal violence in India and time has come to check its misuse, National Commission for Minorities chief Wajahat Habibullah has said.

Habihullah also pointed out that riot control protocols have not been revised for decades.

"Social media had a key role in the Assam violence and Kishtwar (Jammu) as well. This time (in the Muzaffarnagar riots) also, social media played a major role," Habibullah told IANS in an interview.

"A mechanism is needed to monitor such misuse of social media. The sad part is riot control plans that exist at present were made by (the colonial) British rulers. It has not been modernised to suit present times," said Habihullah, who has been heading the commission since July 2010.

According to Uttar Pradesh Police, a controversial video clip that reportedly showed the lynching of two Hindu Jat boys that was circulated fanned the riots in Muzaffarnagar. But the footage was found to be actually two years old and from Pakistan, the police said.

Sangeet Som of the BJP was accused of circulating the fake video that reportedly escalated the unrest resulting in the communal riots. Som was arrested and later released.

In July 2012, during violence in Assam between indigenous Bodos and Muslims, images were circulated on the social media, fanning panic resulting in the exodus of lakhs of northeastern citizens to their home states from different parts of the country.

Similarly, riots that broke in Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir after Eid celebrations were also followed by postings on the social media. The situation was controlled in time and the riots were contained.

"In Kishtwar, the material on social media were noticed and controlled, otherwise the riots would have spread in the whole of Jammu and Kashmir," Habibullah said.

He also lamented that the frequency of riots in the country has increased over the past decade.

News media representatives are invited to view NASAs Morpheus lander at the agencys Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 10 a.m. EST Friday, Jan. 17. Morpheus arrived at Kennedy in November 2013 for a series of flight tests scheduled to occur through April 2014.

Morpheus is a prototype lander engineers can use to incorporate technologies for future spacecraft that could land on a variety of destinations in our solar system. The project integrates NASAs automated landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, with an engine that runs on liquid oxygen and methane, or green propellants, into a fully operational lander that could deliver cargo to asteroids and other planetary surfaces.

During the event, members of the media will tour the Morpheus hangar, command and control center, and the ALHAT hazard field designed to provide the lander with the type of terrain it may encounter during a touchdown at its destination, including rocks and craters. NASA officials from the Morpheus Project office based at the agencys Johnson Space Center in Houston, along with Kennedy project personnel, will be available for interviews.

Media should arrive at Kennedys Press Site by 9 a.m. for transportation to the event. U.S. media without Kennedy accreditation must apply for credentials by noon, Thursday, Jan. 16. International media accreditation for this event is closed.

Two forms of government-issued identification are required to receive a badge, one with a photograph such as a drivers license or passport. Badges will be available for pickup at the Kennedy Badging Office, located on State Road 405 east of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Hours for the Kennedy Badging Office are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Journalists needing accreditation should apply online at:

https://media.ksc.nasa.gov

To attend the event, media representatives must be dressed in full-length pants, flat shoes that entirely cover the feet and shirts with sleeves.
