Business-2-Business VS Business-2-Consumer
Just about every business today has a web site. Weather they are doing business with other businesses or selling directly to the public, a business today needs to have a web site. This paper will discuss Business-2 Business (B2B), Business-2-Consumer (B2C). The paper will look at the marketing concept, and the similarities and differences of brick-and-mortar and eBusiness. Every business, rather online or at a physical site, falls in one of the following categories. A Comparison of Business-2-Business
and Business-2-Consumer
B2B and B2C are very similar, in fact, "B2B typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than B2C applications". (Reference.com, 2006). As B2C is "the retailing part of e-commerce and is often contrasted to B2B. (Whatis.com, 2006). B2B and B2C each has five classifications in which businesses fall under. B2B classifications are; "company web site, product supply and procurement exchanges, specialized or vertical industry portals, brokering sites, and information sites". (Whatis.com, 2006). B2C classifications are; "direct sellers, online intermediaries, advertising based models, and fee based models". (Reference.com, 2006). B2B and B2C Classifications
Business-2-Business Classifications
According the definition information on Whatis.com B2B can be classified in the following categories; "Company Web sites, since the target audience for many company Web sites is other companies and their employees. Company sites can be thought of as round-the-clock mini-trade exhibits. Sometimes a company Web site serves as the entrance to an exclusive extranet available only to customers or registered site users. Some company Web sites sell directly from the site, effectively e-tailing to other businesses. Product supply and procurement exchanges, where a company purchasing agent can shop for supplies from vendors, request proposals, and, in some cases, bid to make a purchase at a desired price. Sometimes referred to as e-procurement sites, some serve a range of industries and others focus on a niche market. Specialized or vertical industry portals which provide a "subWeb" of information, product listings, discussion groups, and other features. These vertical portal sites have a broader purpose than the procurement sites (although they may also support buying and selling). Brokering sites that act as an intermediary between someone wanting a product or service and potential providers. Equipment leasing is an example. Information sites (sometimes known as infomediary), which provide information about a particular industry for its companies and their employees. These include specialized search sites and trade and industry standards organization sites". (Whatis.com, 2006). Business-2Consumers Classifications
According to Wikipedia B2C classifications are as follows;
"Direct Sellers Companies that provide products or services directly to customers are called direct sellers. These types of B2C companies are the most well-known. There are two types of direct sellers: e-tailers and manufacturers. E-tailers: Upon receiving an order, the e-tailer ships products directly to the consumer or to a wholesaler or manufacturer for delivery. Example: Amazon.com Manufacturers: The manufacturer sells directly to consumers via the internet. The goal is to remove intermediaries, through a process called disintermediation, and to establish direct customer relationships. Disintermediation is not a new idea as catalog companies have been utilizing this method for years. Example: Staples.com markets and sells directly to the consumer, and there is no middleman. Products are ship directly to the consumer from the Staples warehouse. Online Intermediaries Online intermediaries are companies that...

Ocean Beach
Picture a 3.5-mile stretch of white beach with few tourists and no highrises. It's just you and the waves and the seabirds at Ocean Beach, on the westernmost border of San Francisco, adjacent to Golden Gate Park. Great for strolling and flying kites, but the water is frigid and the currents hazardous for all but the most experienced surfers.

This is an excellent video of a man named Zac Poonen (who's from India and has planted many churches) speaking about Jesus's fellowship with the Father and His great love for us. This video has moved me and motivated me deeply. I highly recommend taking just 4 minutes out and watching it today. I don't think you'll be disappointed. :)

text: The difference is very subtle - the first fold. The Infinity is folded along the diagonal while the DIY Infinity is folded in half, horizontally. The Infinity starts off as a triangle, whereas the DIY Infinity begins as a rectangle. It seems like a trivial difference, but due to the shape, the Infinity fold works best with square scarves whereas the DIY version can be pulled off on thicker longer scarves

The September 22nd, 2016 edition of Engadget features a article by Christopher Burch, founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital. The article discusses how technology and fashion grow together in tandem. Burch states that " technology grows with the popularity of what one considers fashionable". He reinforces his argument by giving specific examples of the relationship.
Christopher Burch goes back to the 1970s in his first example. He points to the appearance of the "boom box" and how that technology became a symbol for self identity. He goes further in showing how the boom box became interwoven into culture by its appearance in movie story lines. As the "boom box" evolves into the "walkman" and finally the "iPod", Burch states, " technology grows with popularity of what one considers fashionable."
In the present day, Burch exposes how fashion can be interwoven with technology to make a product more appealing. For example, he states that it is not fashionable to wear bike protection. He points to two inventors who created a system that an individual can wear around their neck which would inflate in an accident ,thereby protecting the head. In this case technology has been modified to preserve fashion sensibilities. Burch also discusses how designers are using recycling technology to create fashion. He cites how one designer recycles inner tubes of bicycles to create jackets and t-shirts.
Christopher Burch believes the fusion of fashion and technology is just beginning. He describes how sports apparel is being designed to capture Kinetic energy to power an individuals mp3 player. Burch elaborates further showing how technology may need assistance from the fashion world to market a product. Google was concerned about the stigma of wearing glasses when they came out with Google Glass. This concern was laid to rest when a top fashion designer had her models wear Google Glasses on the catwalk. Instantly, Google Glass was fashionable.
Christopher Burch is no stranger to fashion or technology. Burch began his career in 1976 by designing "preppy sweaters" and selling them door to door to college girls. Eventually this enterprise would spread to retail stores and his company would exceed $140 million in sales. Burch would officially become a billionaire in 2013 when he sold his 28.3% stake in his ex-wife's fashion brand for $650 million. As a venture capitalist, Burch has made large investments in technology. He has invested in Internet Captital Group, Aliph and Powermat. Chris Burch is a master at marketing himself as a brand, using speaking engagements, book deals and social media.

The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a bill known as HB 1840 that "declares that no person providing counseling or therapy services shall be required to counsel or serve a client as to goals, outcomes, or behaviors that conflict with a sincerely held religious belief of the counselor or therapist." Under this bill, counselors who refuse services must "coordinate a referral of the client to another counselor or therapist who will provide the service." If Governor Bill Haslam adds his signature, Tennessee would become the only state with such a law, according to the American Counseling Association (a group whose code of ethics states that mental health professionals cannot refuse treatment on the basis of "personally held values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors").
Gender Identity Watch opposes this bill.

> > Prospective podlings are well-advised to consider that if things don't work > out, a project which might have been perfectly viable elsewhere for years to > come will have to deal with both the disruption of a name change and the > stigma of having a big red termination stamp applied by the Incubator PMC. I have one additional thought here. If the foundation really doesn't want a 5-person stable project, I think that the incubator should state objective criteria: you get X years and you have to show Y people. In the case of Empire, I have a special sympathy for them because they have been permitted to exist in the incubator for such a long time. The negative impact of being sent out into the cold, cruel, world of github and no foundation-al legal cover strikes me as getting larger the longer you operate as a podling. Even so, my basic view is that these folks are viable as a TLP, and if someone really disagrees, I might feel strongly enough to ask the board to shoot my head off for asking it to weigh in. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

We believe we are obliged, both morally and commercially, to make the world more interesting.
We believe that the most powerful advertising ideas are 'never finished' because they create an open-ended and enduring legacy for the brand.
And above all, we believe in treating each other like decent human beings.Who We Are
We are never finished. With the world evolving at such breakneck speed, sitting still is not an option.
However much success we enjoy, however famous the ideas we create become, we will never sit back and say 'we've cracked it'. With the world evolving at such breakneck speed, it's not an option.
Our only option is to be agile, to embrace the shifting landscape and to do our level best to stay ahead of things. Whether we're adapting to the latest social platform, a piece of whizz-bang technology, or a seismic shift in our industry, we will never be the finished article.
Being in a constant state of 'never done' is certainly a challenge. But for us, it also happens to be the most exciting opportunity in the world.
We are more excited by the power of the organising idea than the lure of any one channel. We have consistently won awards in channels as diverse as film, digital and social. And at the 2016 Campaign Big Awards we were recognised as Integrated Agency Of The Year.
We are fiercely and proudly media agnostic. And our view is that integrated only works if it all works.
When visiting agency websites, most people go straight to the work, then when they get bored they head for the photos section to see how many attractive people work there. Hopefully it's taken you a good, long while to get this far.

text: Great line for slow action rods Paul Sun Jun 05 2016 Quality Durability Price I bought the Lightline DT in a 3 weight to go with both my Douglas upstream rod and a bamboo midge rod. I haven't tried it on the bamboo rod yet, but it is perfect on the Upstream 3 wt, which has a bamboo type action. The line has welded loops at both ends, and floats like a cork. There is no sinking of the tip with this line and it casts beautuifully. It is unique in that half of it is tan and half is brown. It is a short line (70' long) but it is not intended for long casts.

"John Scott House symbolizes our company's early history and the pioneering vision of my parents, Thomas and Rita Welch," says Richard M. Welch, president of Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group.
Braintree MA (PRWEB) August 24, 2015
John Scott House Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Braintree, Massachusetts, announces plans for a fresh, modern look with planned renovations that emphasize resident comfort, safety and convenience. Replacing the original Victorian that was once home to the Welch family, as well as Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group's first residents, allows for a remodeled front entrance and creation of new outdoor resident patio, in addition to interior updates.
An expanded parking area with a new covered drive-up main entrance is being added for the convenience of residents, family and friends. A complete refurbishment of all resident rooms and common areas, and life safety systems is already underway. For the comfort of residents who require rehabilitation, the Welch Group nursing center is relocating the rehabilitation gym to the newly created post-acute short-term rehabilitation unit and adding a new dedicated living room and dining room.
"John Scott House symbolizes our company's early history and the pioneering vision of my parents, Thomas and Rita Welch," says Richard M. Welch, president of Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group. In 1949, the John Scott House was established by Thomas and Rita M. Welch after they customized their two-story home in Braintree to provide care and health services to area seniors. "My parents, with their modest 11-bed nursing home, found themselves at the forefront of an industry in its infancy, effecting changes that shaped the industry to this day," adds Welch.
Today, John Scott House Rehabilitation and Nursing Center offers residents and their families the best of both worlds – a center rich in tradition and quality short-term rehabilitative and skilled nursing care. For 65-years, John Scott House has been a part of the Braintree community providing high-level rehabilitative, medical, and nursing care on a short- or long-term basis. The Welch Group skilled nursing center consistently receives high marks from state agencies that are designed to oversee the quality of nursing homes throughout Massachusetts.
In addition, John Scott was recently awarded The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ for Nursing Care Center Accreditation as well as the organization's new Post-Acute Care Certification, which demonstrates the facility's commitment to the highest level of care for its patients and residents—going beyond state and federal requirements.
Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group is a trusted family-owned senior services company. For over 65 years, the Welch Group has been a leading provider of rehabilitation, skilled nursing, Alzheimer's and Memory Care, assisted living and independent living options, adult day health and home care services in Massachusetts.

Stocking lingerie products is like an obsession among modern women who like to keep themselves looking equally gorgeous in public, and private. Sexy lingerie is the best way to look ravishing in any size that you are. Modern women are no longer secretive about what they wear inside or how they look in bare minimum clothing. In fact, they do not step back from experimenting with their innerwear to take their partners by surprise.
Sexy lingerie articles have been in fashion for a very long time, and presently the markets holds all kinds of fancy innerwear like swimsuits, sleepwear, intimacy clothing, slim-up wears, etc. Lingerie is not necessarily intimate apparel as most would imagine. A pair of sexy stockings is also a piece of lingerie that serves make your legs long and slender over dresses. Hence, the chief purpose of lingerie is to make the wearers appear in shape whether or not they flaunt it in the bedroom. Another instance of such items is a corset. It is meant to shape up the torso of a woman making the curves all the more prominent. Rigged with steel bones at a basic interval, these lingerie items have been designed to squeeze the fat up into a perfect hourglass shape that all desire.
The lingerie items are available in a range of colors and designs to suit their frames. Push-up bustiers, chandelier-style bras, strappy garters, halter bodysuit, satin kimono, lacey corset, cut-out suits, etc., are some of the sexy lingerie options that you might explore. You can pick anything depending on the purpose of use. The clothing are normally body hugging and woven with satin and other luxurious materials that enhance the sexy quotient.
There are innumerable online stores offering plenty of sexy lingerie clothing for women looking to feel beautiful inside. Try the wholesale counters to avail a considerable discount. Do your research well before picking a bulk of items from a store. Do not go for too cheaply-priced items as they often come in poor quality, and do not last for long, not to mention that they affect the inherent shape of the body badly.

I would like to take this time to really emphasize what an excellent experience we had with
CIE tours in Ireland this past Spring. Professional, knowledgeable, and personable are just a
few of the adjectives that come to mind when describing our tour guide, Mark Mulvey.
He was extremely accommodating towards everyone on the trip, and helpful in every regard.
We were able to accomplish everything we set out to.. and maybe more. Mark is a remarkable tour guide and a wonderful person.
Enough cannot be said about what an amazing experience we had with CIE. We have been recommending
the company to others here in the United States, and we are already considering booking another trip with them.
What an absolutely fantastic trip and experience.
Brandon Pearce, Rhode Island, USA.
John and I were very happy with CIE, especially our tour guide, John Greene. He was very informative and funny.
He made the experience worth it. We lucked out with our group as well. They were a perfect match for us and we got to
experience so much! It really was the best vacation we've ever had

The Dead Lands
A NovelBook - 2015
In Benjamin Percy's new thriller, a post-apocalyptic reimagining of the Lewis and Clark saga, a super flu and nuclear fallout have made a husk of the world we know. A few humans carry on, living in outposts such as the Sanctuary-the remains of St. Louis-a shielded community that owes its survival to its militant defense and fear-mongering leaders.
Then a rider comes from the wasteland beyond its walls. She reports on the outside world: west of the Cascades, rain falls, crops grow, civilization thrives. But there is danger too: the rising power of an army that pillages and enslaves every community they happen upon.
Against the wishes of the Sanctuary, a small group sets out in secrecy. Led by Lewis Meriwether and Mina Clark, they hope to expand their infant nation, and to reunite the States. But the Sanctuary will not allow them to escape without a fight.

The book premise had the potential to achieve equal footing with King's "The Stand". But there is a difference between a storyteller, author and writer. A storyteller draws the reader in, an author can aspire to have written something of note, and a writer puts pen to paper. This book started off with much promise, but failed to deliver.
Post viral epidemic nuclear meltdown apocalypse, yet still somehow quite fun!, re-imagining of Lewis and Clark's expedition with great villains and great heroes and great action. Sometimes silly and cartoonish (giant bats? why not?) but always vividly described and easy to see in your head while reading. A fun story for a fun reader.

Stephen Watts is the president of SAP Asia Pacific Japan region
Q. Do you remember the first time you became a manager?
A. Well, I had red hair back then, and it's been a while since I've had red hair. I'm an engineer by profession and started in the utility industry, designing protection and control systems. I was asked at the time if I would consider moving across to IT to help out and write a specification. I went there very grudgingly, as it was the last thing on my mind for my career. But I got hooked; I went on to become a programmer and then analysis programing and then project management. Effectively I was managing a team of programmers and analysts in Australia, and I had to scale that team pretty fast. I had a very diverse team, with a large group of Vietnamese engineers. Within a year, 48 percent of my team were females and 70 percent were non-Australian.
I loved the building and coaching of a team. That was actually the best part of the job, because I think as a manager that's the legacy you leave behind. It's the same in my business today. We have about 6,000 people across Asia today, and I think about the next 100 brilliant leaders we're going to build, and the next 500 that are going to come through. That's what gets me excited.
Q. How do you identify these budding leaders in your team?
A. There are three core things I always look for. Maybe it's intuition or I've read something and it's been sinking in over time, but I always look first and foremost at the core behaviors of the human being. I don't like to use the word value, I don't believe I create value — that's what we learn from our parents and grandparents. What we do is look at the behavior in support of the right values that we regard for SAP. People that operate with transparency and high integrity, who are clear about completing and finishing their commitments and enjoy making a difference. Then I look at the core skills needed for the job, and finally pure experience. It's very unlikely that I would hire, externally, someone who doesn't have two out of the three. I want skills or I want experience, and I have to have the right behavior.
Q. What makes the difference between a good and a great leader?
A. Time. I do believe there are people in the world that have a natural ability at leadership, but I also believe you can teach, coach and build great leaders, and particularly in Asia we have a duty of care to do so. It is without a doubt the most exciting part of the job that I do leading the business across Asia, watch young kids, rough diamonds, grow over a period of five years.Continue reading the main story
Going back to being a great leader, I think performance always matters. You can't describe yourself as a great leader if you're not a great performer; you need to get things finished and done, follow through on your commitments to your employees, leaders, consumers. Clarity and consistency of communication are also important. I often think that although great leaders can overcommunicate they keep it simple. It's simple, short sentences.
Q. What has been your experience communicating across cultures?
A. There are some subtleties, and I think Asia teaches you to be a good listener. A very good colleague of mine gave me a great piece of advice when I left Australia; to get into a cross-regional role, he suggested I might want to speak less, and I'm being very polite as that's not quite the way he put it. I've realized that if you're the first to speak in an environment where there are non-native English speakers and you speak emphatically and with confidence, a lot of people will just go "O.K., let's just do that." I think it's much more useful to me and to the team if I speak last. So I work very hard to create an environment to encourage everybody else to speak up before I weigh in. There are subtle differences in communicating. My wife comes from an Italian heritage, we have this habit to cut each other off, finish each other's sentences. But in Japan, for example, it would be incredibly rude to do so and not let one person finish first.
Q. Tell me about mistakes you've made?
A. It's a long list. For me, if you're not making mistakes, you're not growing. It's O.K. to try and not achieve, it's not O.K. not to try, especially in our business. You must push the envelope.
Q. In the context of Asian cultures, is there a risk of losing face?
A. Just don't embarrass people.
Q. How have your views on leadership changed over the years?
A. As a child, if I can use that word, I thought I had to be the smartest in the room. But now, thankfully I'm much smarter than that and realize it's cool if I'm the dumbest guy in the room, I love the concept of being surrounded by people who are smarter and stronger than me, to attract and build that team. Of course, I don't believe I am the dumbest in the room, but I don't need to be the more senior, the most experienced. My job ultimately is to build a team that is the best.
Q. Does that ever make you feel threatened as a leader?
A. Not a chance: This is empowering, this is fantastic. My job is to create an environment for people to be successful, and I have to manage the business predictably so we can have a sustainable business, but first and foremost I have to create an environment in which we can be successful. So you can have a choice, you can be a two-star general and have nobody above captain and they can all rest on your shoulders, ah that's a responsibility, and that's just being naïve! Or I can be a magnet and we can attract and grow from within and we get that nice blend of the best of the best within the company and we attract complementary people that challenge us. You bring in a 20-something and put him or her in a bunch of 40-somethings, that's going to challenge the status quo.
Q. As your company has grown through acquisitions, you've had to integrate a lot of different teams. How do you tackle this integration of different cultures?
A. Time. You can fundamentally approach acquisitions two ways. The company that acquires says, "This is the way we do it around here, so you will change and adopt our processes. Bang!" That's one strategy, and it works for some, but that's not us, and I don't personally feel it's an effective model because you'll lose your talent, and one of the fundamental reasons why you've acquired the company in the first place. If they are great, it's because their culture has helped them to be great, and if you destroy that culture, you lose enormous value capital. Our approach is quite different. Think of it a bit more as an arranged marriage. We spend a bit of time after the acquisition getting to know each other. We change nothing, the team continues to operate exactly as it did before and we get a period of time to get to know each other, typically one year. And what you usually find is by the start of year two, you are naturally integrating.Continue reading the main story

Mandelay Review – Safe and Effective?Rob Miller | April 5, 2018
| OUT OF 5 | Review by: Rob Miller
Last Fact Checked On:
Home » Premature Ejaculation » Mandelay Review – Safe and Effective?
Mandelay Overview
Its official name is Mandelay Climax Control Gel and the name is pretty self explanatory. It's designed to delay ejaculation so you can have more control over your own situation. The clear gel works by desensitizing your penis. That way, whether you're truly dealing with premature ejaculation or you just want to go longer, you're prepared.
Mandelay Ingredients
Mandelay has only one active ingredient, and that is Benzocaine, which is a widely used a local anesthetic in such products as topical pain relievers and cough drops. It's an FDA approved over-the-counter medication that numbs nerve endings on contact with the skin.
How Mandelay Works
The instructions for use are that you apply a small amount to the head and shaft of the penis shortly before intercourse. Your penis becomes less sensitive on contact, enabling you to withstand more stimulation than without it.
Mandelay does not interfere with the structural integrity of latex, so it's safe to use with condoms.
There are, however, a couple of warnings regarding use of the product. Mandelay is not meant to be ingested. If you do swallow some, you should get medical help of contact poison control.
You should avoid contact with eyes, and if you or your partner develop a rash, you should discontinue use. It is also advised that if Mandelay doesn't fix the problem, you should visit a doctor because premature ejaculation could be indicative of a more serious condition.
Mandelay Pros and Cons
Advantages of Mandelay
- It's simple to use.
- It is inexpensive.
- There are several positive Mandelay reviews indicating that it works as advertised.
- It can be used with condoms.
Disadvantages of Mandelay
- It cannot be used in conjunction with oral sex.
- Use of Mandelay comes with several warnings.
Where to Buy
There are lots of ways to purchase Mandelay. It's available at drugstores like Walgreens and CVS. You can also get through a number of online stores. A 1 oz tube sells for anywhere from $3 to $10.
If you face problems with premature ejaculation, you will probably find some help from Mandelay. Just make sure follow the directions and read the label warnings.

Sales compensation continues to be a prominent and well-supported sales management program. However, many senior leaders see room for program improvement. Companies continue to make changes on an annual basis with more than 75% planning to make normal program changes. Only 4% of the companies plan to roll back the sales compensation plan. 34% are planning some form of program expansion.
The Alexander Group's 2017 Sales Compensation "Hot" Topics Survey provides empirical data from 145 sales departments on recent and popular topics regarding sales compensation. The findings support certain conjectures and refute others. We collected responses in June to August of 2017.

The RM-047 Valvrave IV Hinowa (ヒノワ Hinowa?) is the second Valvrave to take an active role in the series. It is piloted by Saki Rukino. Its official name is Hinowa, but is later nicknamed Carmilla (カーミラ Kāmira?) by Saki.
Valvrave IV is a high mobility weapon, designed to quickly take out any type of enemy from any range. Using its specially designed Multi-Leg Spine to quickly accelerate or change direction at high speed, it can outmaneuver machines with traditional thrusters, outrun missiles, and even outpace the other Valvraves. It is equipped with the Mirror Rave (ミラーレイヴ Mirā Reivu?) engine, a replica of Valvrave I's Rave engine.
Valvrave IV's weaponry is considered unique, even amongst the other Valvraves; its "Spindle Knuckles (スピンドル・ナックル Supindoru Nakkuru?)" can be launched and controlled in mid-flight, allowing them to fly all over the battlefield, slicing through enemies at the pilot's discretion.
- Spindle Knuckle
- Resembling chakrams, a pair of disk-like Spindle Knuckles are the primary weapons of Valvrave Ⅳ for close to mid-range combat. Consisting of the Spindle Knuckle itself, a handle with a covering made of Clear Fossil with fins underneath identical to the emitter on Valvrave IV's wrists, which it covers to draw RAVE energy from to fill the disk-like Spindle Knuckle's coil-like edge with a high-speed flow of RAVE Energy to generate rotational force, which can be used a Circular saw like weapon. The Spindle Wheel can be launched from the Knuckle, still connected through a lightning-like wire of Hard Afterglow, and used as a remote weapon controlled by the pilot. The handle can also be used for melee attacks after the Spindle Knuckle is launched.
VVV StandardEdit
These are armaments consistent with all Valvraves.
- Clear Fossil Emitters
- On the ends of the wrists and on the back of the heels of the Valvrave are emitters made of a Clear Fossil cover and what appears to be heat sink fins underneath with their small edges protruding out of the outer edge of the emitter. While they serve as a Valvrave's primary means of propulsion they are also used to conjure Hard Afterglow for various offensive and defensive purposes, the color of which appears to be dependent on the color of the emitter and the color theme of the Valvrave itself.
- An Impact Booster can attach to a Valvrave near one of these emitters to greatly enhance its capabilities, notably with manipulating Hard Afterglow allowing for ranged laser-like beams and even a powerful punching or kicking attack that uses the same superheated energy as the "Harakiri Blade".
- Variable Vulcan
- A pair of ranged, rapid-firing weapons installed in the head of a Valvrave and are useful for suppressing fire and attacking quickly at close-range. These are installed in the head of a Valvrave as a part of it's standard armament.
- The name implies that they have different settings for how they fire but this is not definitively seen in any source so far.
- Fold Sickle
- The Fold Sickles (フォルド・シックル Forudo Shikkuru?) are small, sickle-like melee weapons with a blade that appears to be made of Clear Fossil; these are stored and folded in a sheath on the sides of the torso when not in use and are part of the standard armaments for a Valvrave.
- These appear to be used as a slashing or piercing weapon.
- Hand Ray
- The Hand Ray (ハンド・レイ Hando Rei?) is a small, anti-personnel laser weapon built into the back of both of a Valvrave's hands and are part of its standard armaments.
Special FeaturesEdit
- Multi-Leg Spine
- The Multi-Leg Spine (マルチレッグ・スパイン Maruchireggu Supain?) is a set of special equipment connected to the lower back of Valvrave IV that consists of six legs arranged into three pairs that enhances Valvrave IV's speed and maneuverability; their form and how they move brings to mind a spider. Each leg has a wide range of movement and a pointed tip, similar to the Clear Fossil emitters found on a Valvrave's wrists and heels, which serve as thrusters. These thrusters can grant the Valvrave great speed when used in unison or great maneuverability with burst of energy from each leg in different directions. The Clear Fossil emitter tip of each leg is also able to create a disk of Hard Afterglow with a puncturing or jumping motion, that allows Valvrave IV to rapidly maneuver and change it's direction of movement by using these disks as springboards.
VVV Special Features Edit
These are special features consistent with all Valvraves.
While exploring the lower levels of the lab where the first Valvrave came from, Haruto and Saki discovered Valvrave IV and the other remaining Valvraves. It is still piloted by Saki 200 years into the future, now sporting additional gold armor. The future Saki uses its Condemnation Mirage (断罪のミラージュ Danzai no Mirāju?) multi-directional attack to overwhelm a Bull-Head Mech.

Discover the Magic of Yogya
Greater Yogya is also home to one of the most dramatic marriages of human endeavor, ancient architectural design, spiritual belief and nature. Honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Borobudur is truly one of the world's greatest monuments. Dating back from the 8th and 9th century, it was built by King Samaratungga from Syailendra Dynasty. Originally 42 meters, as the highest stupa was destroyed when it was struck by lightning.
The main temple is a stupa constructed in three tiers around a hill, which serves as its natural center and pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms with 72 openwork stupas, each containing the statue of a Buddha. At at the top, a monumental stupa.
Decorated with fine low reliefs, the walls and balustrades were made of huge slabs of andesite stone taken from the rivers around Borobudur, all manually and painstakingly stacked up to cover a total surface area 2,52, square meters and a total volume of 55,000 cubic meters, making it single largest Buddhist structure anywhere on earth.
30 Minutes from Yogya, 17 kilometers from the city center, there is another masterpiece, this one of Hindu culture. The 47 meters high Prambanan Temple was buit in the 10th century during the reign of two kings – Rakai Pikatan and Rakai Balitung- with eight shrines, 250 minor temples and three main temples, namely Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva.
There is fascinating tale behind the construction of this temple, the love story of Bandung Bondowoso and Roro Jonggrang, while Jonggrang did not reciprocate the feeling, so when Bondowoso asked her hand in marriage, she asked Bondowoso to make her a temple with 1,000 statues in one night. If he succeeded then she would agree to marry him. Seeing he rimpossible request was nearly fullfilled, Jonggrang panicked and asked the villagers to pound rice and start cooking in order to make it look like the morning had broken. When Bondowoso found out, he was furious and cursed Jonggrang to be the thousandth statue. Her statue now rest in the temple of Shiva.
It's Amazing Indonesia!

NEW YORK --The Empire State Building is divided, politically.
The iconic skyscraper in New York City illuminated its tower in blue and red Tuesday night, representing respectively, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
The winner's color will light the tower Wednesday night. The red-blue split will stay if the result isn't known by then.
The tower lights frequently are themed. The first election lighting signaled Franklin D. Roosevelt's win in 1932.

The Boss says, "We installed real-time status adjusters in the cubicle walls. Sensors monitor your work and adjust the cubicle size according to your value." Dilbert, Wally and Alice sit in cubicles that are so small they can barely fit inside them. Wally says, "It's amazing how fast you get used to it."

How to Establish an Interior Design Portfolio When You Don't Have Any Clients
If clients are the heart of your business, then your portfolio is it's soul. Your photos are the lifeblood of your business when you're getting started because you will not have made a name for yourself and your reputation will not be developed. In time, these things will change but in the beginning your portfolio matters…a lot!
In the simplest terms, your portfolio is your body of work, and in today's world of all things visual, having a portfolio is key.
There are no if, ands, or buts, about it. You absolutely must have one as a newby designer. Without it, your business will not grow and no one wants to wither away; especially when you have the chops to make it.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, you can multiply it by 100 as a designer! You want your work to speak volumes to everyone who sees it. Every picture you present to a potential prospect should have a WOW-factor feel to it. As you grow there will be new clients, but there may also be editors of magazines, real estate developers, realtors, contractors, architects, the list goes on.
Your portfolio is so vital to your success because it's your proof.
It's your equivalent to Michael Phelps swimming the final leg of the relay for the come-from-behind win or Michael Jordan shooting the clutch 3-pointer as time runs out on the clock. They proved themselves and now people have come to not only want them but rely on them because they produced results.
Your portfolio is the same for you.
Your portfolio is about your results and your ability to get it done, and done well! The photos of the designs you create will not lie and they will most often be the FIRST impression of what draws new clients to you and keeps the old ones returning. Like moths to a flame baby!
So now that I've been beating the drum of the importance of a portfolio, I bet you're asking, Um hello? Mc Fly?
How the heck do I build a portfolio when I haven't had a design job yet?
My answer is simple. Start at home or with your family or friends! You're living somewhere, right? You've got friends, family, or parents who believe in you, right? Start there. Start by designing your own home, or to get a tiny glimpse into working with a real client, start with your inner circle. Be very flexible on your avatar, work to create spaces even if your inner circle is not your ideal client, and use your experience working with your inner circle to add or change your avatar.
The first home I ever tackled was my own!
**I say tiny glimpse because the people who know you the best and love you the most are also comfortable with you and will not necessarily trust your design decisions right off the bat. They will also feel much more comfortable pushing back on your ideas. Even if they love you and support you in starting your own business, you must turn them into believers before they trust you as a designer. I am not just talking about friends, I am talking about siblings, parents, even spouses!
I've lived this experience with multiple family members over the years even after I'd done designing and remodeling in my own home. Part of me was like isn't what I'm doing enough? Didn't you see my house? Didn't you say you loved it? Just know you're earning your stripes and it will be worth it later.
I worked to turn them into believers and asked them to trust me before they were fully ready.
It added pressure on me to prove my ideas to them but the payoff was more than worth it!
The more you are prepared that this may happen, the better off you'll be.
Speaking of being prepared, know in your heart that you'll create a space that people will love. Take advantage of this! Create incentives. Early on in the design process ask people if they would be willing to write a review or recommend you to 3 family members or friends and get that information. This will help you increase your exposure in the early days.
Here's a bedroom we did for a family member in the early days!
However, once you've proved yourself, you'll probably end up with free reign, just know you'll have earned it!
Now that you have your first group of potential clients, let's talk about the money side of it. Don't be afraid to work for ultra-cheap or even free in the beginning. It's more important to get exposure in the early days. The money will come.
In the very beginning, once I branched out beyond my own home, Wendy and I worked for free, and then for deeply discounted fees. This certainly isn't something you want to do forever, but when you're just trying to get established, get your design process under your belt, and build your portfolio, it's more than worth it! Your passion will carry you…in the beginning.
Your clients should have a budget for materials and labor but your design fees should be minimal in the beginning.
If your work is up to par, your business will grow because the friends and family of your friends and family will see your work and ask for your services. These will be real clients trusting you with their home and you can and should charge for the amazing services you'll provide.
Rooms from the early days!
Now that we've established the gravity of what it means to have a portfolio, in the next post we'll discuss the different types of photographers for interior designers, how and where to find a good one, and avoiding the one mistake that will completely cheapen all your hard work.

" 'Identity' is one of those false friends. We all think we know what the word means and go on trusting it, even when it is slyly starting to say the opposite... For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free..."
Balla-Drama takes the contested ground of identity as its subject. The title is a combination of the Arabic 'balla' (meaning 'without') with the English 'drama'.
It has long been a dream of the Universalist ideologies that have dominated modern Western societies, to dissolve the ancient tribal, ethnic, linguistic and religious ties that for the vast sweep of history have been the defining elements of human identity.
For the Anarchist, Socialist and Communist movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries all divisive categories would, like the State itself, wither away after the revolution. Similarly In the New World Order that sprung up briefly as a mirage in the minds of the victorious American ideologues after the collapse of the U.S.S.R. the global triumph of free markets and liberal democracy would liberate populations across the world from a state of prehistory into a progressive present of rational self-determinism... And yet, in our time, the power of those old, perennial sources of identity has returned.
Balla-Drama is set within this broad context and within the recent surge of interest in contemporary art from the wider Middle Eastern region. To an extent the show satirizes this trend by crudely drawing together a group of artists whose names 'sound' Middle Eastern or Muslim yet who were born, grew up and live and work in a highly disparate series of locations and whose work reflects and explicitly engages, both individually and collectively, with the complex diversity of their backgrounds.
Balla-Drama both laconically and acutely tackles with the chimera of identity, that, as always, is a concrete presence in the world; a stooge for the instrumental designs of power, a catalyst for conflict, a lodestone for meaning in human lives but that, on close inspection, seems as insubstantial as air.
Artists participating in the exhibition:
Farhad Ahrarnia; Lulwah Al-Homoud; Samta Benyahia; Shezad Dawood; Ala Ebtekar; Mounir Fatmi; Karim Ghelloussi; Aïcha Hamu; Hayv Kahraman; Timo Nasseri; Henna Nadeem; Ayman Yossri Daydban.

I'm just catching my breath after three months of very intensive work (58,000 words written in under two weeks at one point. Ow.) and looked up to see that I suddenly have a lot of books coming out this summer! So I'm afraid that this is a rather book heavy post…
First off, my current release, Room for Love (the first in the Love trilogy) has been getting some great reviews. Here are a couple of snippets of my favourites:
Carrie is a workaholic, out trying to prove she can do anything, do it herself, and do it well. She can, of course…. but the handsome gardener decides to help. And that, my friends, is the start of something beautiful… Funny, crazy, nostalgic, and beautiful.
There's an absolute HEAP of fabulous characters included in Room for Love. It's almost as if the story itself is alive with happiness and laughter. I just couldn't get enough of the uplifting and positive feel that was spread throughout the story. Sophie conveyed it perfectly and I couldn't help but feel warm and cosy when reading about them all.
And then yesterday, Carina UK revealed the cover for Book 2 in the trilogy – An A to Z of Love. Isn't it gorgeous?
An A to Z of Love is set in the Welsh seaside town of Aberarian, so I love the beachy feel of the cover. Here's what the book's about…
Mia Page has been the subject of gossip in Aberarian for half her life, ever since her father ran off with his secretary–and the contents of the local museum safe–when she was fourteen.
Still, Mia loves her hometown, loves working at the A to Z shop, eating seafood with her best friend Charlie at his restaurant, catching the classic midnight movie at the crumbling Coliseum cinema. And if she ever wonders if things might be even better if Charlie were more than just a friend, well, it's only an idle thought in a lonely moment. After all, friendship always trumps romance, doesn't it? And she's never been one to rock the boat.
But everything she loves is suddenly under threat from Charlie's ex-girlfriend, Becky, and her plans to turn Mia's beloved Coliseum into a casino, transforming the sleepy seaside town forever. As Mia tries to pull the people of Aberarian together to save the town they adore, her father reappears, and people start asking what he wants to take from them this time…
An A to Z of Love is out on the 12th June, so not very long to wait at all! Book 3 of the Love trilogy, Summer of Love, will follow next month, on the 14th July. I can't wait to see what they do with the cover for that one!
You'd think three books would be enough for one summer, but no! By some quirk of publishing fate, I actually have another TWO stories coming out. (I promise there'll be a break after that, at least for a few months!)
First up is The Bodyguard in her Room – a digital short story written as part of the fabulous world of the Chatsfield Hotel, created by Mills and Boon. It's available for download in the UK right now at a bargain price.
Here's what it's about:
Step behind the hotel room doors of The Chatsfield, London…
In London for her latest Hollywood film's press junket, up and coming actress Bethany Lord is hiding from a storm of scandal that could threaten everything she's worked so hard to achieve. But little does she know that the biggest threat to her isn't the press outside The Chatsfield, London, it's the shocking sensual tension caused by man who has been sent to protect her!
This one was so much fun to write! I love London hotels, and coming up with a suitably scandalous story to match the Chatsfield's reputation was a challenge I relished. It's a quick, fun read, and I really hope you all enjoy it!
As I say, it's out in the UK now, and then on August 1st it will be released as part of a 5 e-book bundle in North America – the same day as the release of my final story of the summer…
Last up is my third book for Harlequin Romance / Mills & Boon Cherish. Part of their International Weddings month, A Groom Worth Waiting For is actually the first part of a duet featuring two sisters, Thea and Helena Morrison. I'm just finishing up edits on the second book in the duet now, and that will be out early next year, I believe.
I love the North American cover for this one, mostly because it feels very much like the book – plus, the scene with Thea and Zeke beside her little red sports car, in the middle of nowhere in the Tuscan countryside, is one of my favourites in the book.
The UK cover is continuing my inexplicable bike on cover theme, as started with the NA cover for Heiress on the run, and I like it – especially the sunset over the hill. Very romantic!
Here's the blurb:
It's everything Thea has ever dreamed of. A Tuscan wedding, the perfect dress, a handsome groom…and her wedding will unite two families in more than business. So why is it only when her groom's brother Zeke Ashton arrives that things start feeling right?
Watching the woman he once loved sacrifice her happiness for duty is impossible. Zeke has to remind her of the carefree, happy girl she once was before she says "I do" if Thea—or he—is ever to have a chance at happiness….
So many summery releases. So why not sit back with a cold drink (preferably with a little umbrella) and enjoy a little light reading?
