PR Comment:
Don't drink and tweet
It is simple PR and common sense: if you drink, stay away from social media.
It might seem obvious now but it is oh not so evident after a couple of drinks on a Saturday night.
So, to save you from your worst enemy - not Facebook or Twitter but yourself! - web security company Webroot Software has launched a Social Media Sobriety Test plug in. Just a bit of healthy fun or a life saver this coming Christmas? Judge for yourself |

Carl Stuart Group Awarded ISO 17025
Investment will more than double calibration/service income revenue in three years
 The Carl Stuart Group, the Laboratory and Process technology, services and solutions provider, has been awarded the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The Certification was officially presented today by Minister Conor Lenihan at the company's head quarters in Tallaght.
The ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard is awarded by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) and is an international standard covering the requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The State Chemist, Mr Dermot Hayes, was also on hand to witness the formal presentation of the certification.
Kevin Arthure, Technical Director with The Carl Stuart Group was responsible for project managing the ambitious task to achieve this accreditation. As he explains, it was a formidable challenge that took in excess of twelve months and incurred a significant financial and resource investment, but was part of the Group's overall strategic development: "The boom years had largely bypassed the pharmaceutical industry here in Ireland. On the other hand, we have felt keenly the impacts of the recession. However, we realised that the value of investing in this accreditation and training would stand to our company as the markets begin to pick up again.
"With the ISO 17025 accreditation we are now in a strong position to win new business, especially with government laboratories across Ireland and Europe and to increase our service portfolio to our existing valued customers.
The testing and measurement side of the Group currently accounts for some 30 percent of the turnover, and we expect this income to more than double over the next three years as a direct result of having achieved the standard."
