AN Etworkfor G Irlbosses PASSION, PROFITS A N e t w o r k f o r G i r l b o s s e s PASSION, PROFITS & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT; A GUIDE TO CREATING A BUSINESS & LIFESTYLE YOU ARE UTTERLY OBSESSED WITH So amazing to have you here. Step into my office, grab a coffee/glass of wine (time dependent) and be prepared to start looking at life through an entirely different lens. I'm Dani and thank you for following The Clique. So glad to have you in my circle of mind blowing women who are ready to design a business that stands out from the crowds and a lifestyle that they are utterly obsessed with. In The Clique, we are all about doing what we love and doing lots of it. We aren't prepared to settle and we want to live entirely on our own terms. That's exactly what I want for you too. I created The Clique after launching my own successful business online as a social media strategist, a business that allowed me to quit a career that didn't fulfil me, gave me the freedom to work when and from where I chose and earn more than what I ever imagined I ever would. I now help other women achieve exactly the same. Although social media strategy is still a huge part of what I do, my biggest passion now lies in empowering other women with the mindset and strategies they need in order to become their own boss, realise their fullest potential and guiding them through the process of designing a brand that sells. To date, I've worked with women across industries from fashion, health and fitness, coaching, and other creative industries. In doing so, I've not only created a business that I'm incredibly passionate about, but I've helped other women create the same for themselves. Now, its your turn. This guide is a starting point for creating a business that you love, a brand that smokes the competiion and a lifestyle that is entirely on your own terms. I'm all about helping you design a career you are passionate about, giving you the freedom you crave and helping you become the woman you need to be to get where you want to go. Life is so much more than a 9-5. Life is far more than coasting along without pushing ourselves fully. In The Clique, we aren't prepared to settle. Neither should you. Big Love...

We aren't prepared to settle. That means we know exactly what we want from life and aren't going to stop until we get it. Getting what you want however starts with knowing what it is you really want. That's where most people come unstuck. Many of us think we know what we want, but in truth, we limit ourselves to what we think is achievable. A lot of the time, we don't want to admit to ourselves what we really want from life because its seems unrealistic and out of our reach. We play down our dreams and lower our sights because we believe that we don't deserve what we really want or aren't capable of getting there. Whether it's earning a million pound a year, having a lifestyle that lets you trot across the globe or being the CEO of a business that you not only love but brings you more profits than you imagined possible. These are the things that deep down, we really want for ourselves but are afraid to admit this because we feel that to do so would be to set our standards too high When I was younger, I used to have big lofty dreams about what grown up me would become. I didn't hold back. My seven year old had one vivid imagination' I'd live in the Barbie mansion, I'd have twenty dogs and I'd be married to Eric from the Little Mermaid. As I got older, my ambitions lowered and all of a sudden, I found myself beginning to settle for less. I started a career that didn't fulfil me, I earned well but nowhere near the amounts I would have liked and I began to convince myself that this was ok. Thankfully, the reality of my life kicked in. I had a strong word with myself and knew that I had to revisit some of my goals. If others were living life on their own terms, there was no reason why I couldn't too. There is no reason why you can't either. This section is all about Goal Setting; It's about helping you realise what you really want from life then setting the wheels into motion for making it happen. Grab your pen. Leave your fears at the door and let's do this. A story involving an inflatable swan and a lot of sangria It was the last stretch of my twenties. I'd never been to Ibiza and feeling very "oh s*** I'm going to be hitting thirty soon and therefore officially old", I got a group of friends together and we headed to the Balaeric island for a week of soul searching (read; dancing on tables, watching the sun come up and generally having a very fun time) Whilst I was there, my friend and I invested in inflatable swans. Feeling very smug about our purchases, off we trotted into the sea, rather inebriated by the copious amounts of sangria we had consumed at lunch. Not really paying much attention to where we were going, we boarded our swans and drifted out further and further into the sea. About an hour later of casual floating later, it dawned on us that we were pretty far out and should perhaps start making our way back. We jumped off the floats and began to swim ourselves back to shore only, the tide was now pretty strong and every time we'd swim a bit closer, we'd get pushed back and towards a pretty aggressive looking family of rocks. The panic then kicked in as we realised that we had coasted out too far and now, getting back was proving incredibly difficult. Luckily a couple of friendly guys on a boat saw our struggle and gave us and our swans a ride back to the pier and back to safety. Whilst 'Swan-Gate' could have ended much worse than what it did and made me rethink mixing inflatables with alcohol, the whole incident also got me thinking however about how easy it is to coast along and before you know it, you are miles off in the wrong direction. So often, this happens with life. One minute, you are jumping on a certain path that looks fine, but you don't give too much thought as to where exactly you are heading. You get swept up in the moment and although there may be a few warning signs along the way, you don't really pay too much attention. You coast along without much of a plan and just assume that everything will figure itself out and you will arrive where you need to be. It doesn't work like that. If you don't have a clear idea of where you are now and where you are eventually heading for, you coast. Coasting, as the swan story reminds us, is really frickin' dangerous. It's dangerous because we don't realise we are doing it until we one day end up some place we don't want to be thinking how on earth did we get here and realising its pretty impossible to get ourselves back. In order to end up at the destination you intended, you have to have a pretty good idea of where you are heading for. Vague goals often equate to unpredictable outcomes, outcomes that we are often not happy about. The first step then in getting you to where you want to go is figuring out what that destination looks like, the second is having some sort of game plan as to how you are going to get there. Design your life "CREATE YOUR PERFECT DAY, SET YOURSELF A VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT YOU LIFE TO LOOK LIKE AND THEN IT'S JUST A CASE OF HOW YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN" As the swan story warns us, we have to have a game More often than not, we throw ourselves into careers plan and some sort of end destination in mind. The thing without really thinking about what our day to day life will is, a lot of people don't know what it is that they really look like. want. I originally started out on a path in Law, something I chose Clients tell me this all the time.

  • A Method to Analyze Multiple Social Identities in Twitter Bios
    A Method to Analyze Multiple Social Identities in Twitter Bios ARJUNIL PATHAK, University at Buffalo, USA NAVID MADANI, University at Buffalo, USA KENNETH JOSEPH, University at Buffalo, USA Twitter users signal social identity in their profile descriptions, or bios, in a number of important but complex ways that are not well-captured by existing characterizations of how identity is expressed in language. Better ways of defining and measuring these expressions may therefore be useful both in understanding howsocial identity is expressed in text, and how the self is presented on Twitter. To this end, the present work makes three contributions. First, using qualitative methods, we identify and define the concept of a personal identifier, which is more representative of the ways in which identity is signaled in Twitter bios. Second, we propose a method to extract all personal identifiers expressed in a given bio. Finally, we present a series of validation analyses that explore the strengths and limitations of our proposed method. Our work opens up exciting new opportunities at the intersection between the social psychological study of social identity and the study of how we compose the self through markers of identity on Twitter and in social media more generally.

Ph.D., Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State Uni- versity, 2018. A Framework to Understand Emoji Meaning: Similarity and Sense Disambiguation of Emoji using EmojiNet. Pictographs, commonly referred to as `emoji', have become a popular way to enhance electronic communications. They are an important component of the language used in social media. With their introduction in the late 1990's, emoji have been widely used to enhance the sentiment, emotion, and sarcasm expressed in social media messages. They are equally popular across many social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In 2015, Instagram reported that nearly half of the photo comments posted on Instagram contain emoji, and in the same year, Twitter reported that the `face with tears of joy' emoji has been tweeted 6.6 billion times.

  • Enriching Unstructured Media Content About Events to Enable Semi-Automated Summaries, Compilations, and Improved Search by Leveraging Social Networks
    Enriching Unstructured Media Content About Events to Enable Semi-Automated Summaries, Compilations, and Improved Search by Leveraging Social Networks Thomas Steiner Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya A thesis submitted for the degree of Philosophiæ Doctor (PhD) February 2014 1st Advisor: Joaquim Gabarró Vallés Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain 2nd Advisor: Michael Hausenblas Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Galway, Ireland MapR Technologies, San Jose, CA, USA ii Abstract (i) Mobile devices and social networks are omnipresent Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or digital cameras together with social networks enable people to create, share, and consume enormous amounts of media items like videos or photos both on the road or at home. Such mobile devices—by pure definition—accompany their owners almost wherever they may go. In consequence, mobile devices are omnipresent at all sorts of events to capture noteworthy moments. Exemplary events can be keynote speeches at conferences, music concerts in stadiums, or even natural catastrophes like earthquakes that affect whole areas or countries. At such events—given a stable network connection—part of the event-related media items are published on social networks both as the event happens or afterwards, once a stable network connection has been established again. (ii) Finding representative media items for an event is hard Common media item search operations, for example, searching for the of- ficial video clip for a certain hit record on an online video platform can in the simplest case be achieved based on potentially shallow human-generated metadata or based on more profound content analysis techniques like optical character recognition, automatic speech recognition, or acoustic fingerprint- ing.

  • Using Microformats and Rdfa As Embeddable Data Formats
    CHAPTER 18 Using Microformats and RDFa As Embeddable Data Formats The central problem that we will study in this chapter is how to embed information in web pages in a way that is easy to understand by both humans and computer programs. The solution that we will consider in depth is microformats, little chunks of structured data that are seamlessly embedded in web pages. (X)HTML is designed primarily to produce a human user interface (via a web browser). However, by carefully following certain conventions (ones that constitute microformats), you can produce (X)HTML out of which data can be unambiguously extracted. The consequence is that it is relatively easy to write computer programs to parse microformats so that the data can be reused in other contexts—giving rise to plenty of mashup possibilities. Moreover, having data embedded right in the context of a user interface is helpful. A user can decide what to do with this data (how to “operate” on a given piece of data) while in the context of normal browsing. Now, the previous paragraph is a bit abstract. What I will do in this chapter is walk you through some concrete examples describing microformats in general. We will use Operator, a Firefox extension, to help parse and view microformats and to create scripts that enable users to take specific actions in response to microformats. Specifically, we will do the following: * Study specific examples of microformats * Look at how to use the Firefox add-on Operator to jump-start your study of microformats * Look at programmatic approaches to consuming and creating microformats * Compare microformats to leading alternatives such as RDFa as a way to embed data in human-readable contexts.

  • Restful Web Apis
    CHAPTER 10 The Hypermedia Zoo There are a lot of hypermedia document formats in active use. Some are designed for very specialized purposes—the people who use them may not even think of them as hypermedia formats. Other hypermedia formats are in such common usage that people don’t really think about them at all. In this chapter, I’ll take you on an educational tour of a “zoo” containing the most popular and most interesting hypermedia formats. I won’t be going into a lot of technical detail. Any one of these formats probably isn’t the one you want to use, and I’ve covered many of them earlier in the book. Many of the formats are still under active development, and their details might change. If you’re interested in one of the zoo’s specimens, the next step is to read its formal specification. My goal is to give you a sense of the many forms hypermedia can take, and to show how many times we’ve tackled the basic problems of representing it. The hypermedia zoo is so full that you probably don’t need to define a brand new media type for your API. You should be able to pick an existing media type and write a profile for it. I’ve organized the hypermedia zoo along the lines of my introduction to hypermedia. There’s a section for domain-specific formats (a la Chapter 5), a section for formats whose primary purpose is to implement the collection pattern (a la Chapter 6), and a section for general hypermedia formats (a la Chapter 7).
