Hi all,
I hope this weather stays :-)
If this has been discussed before please tell me "politely" to look else where for the answer. However I have not had the pleasure of a meet like this before SO!
Is there any form of agenda for this event? i.e
Anything going on Friday night?
Anything going on the Sat daytime?
What time do we need to be in Mercury on Sat?
Are we allocated a berth beforehand or wait until we arrive?
What time do things kick off?
Is there any form of entertainment? (or just lots of alcohol fuelled conversation?)
Anything going on Sunday?

The Peeping Professor – Full Length Movie
Mischa catches her professor spying on her while she applies her makeup. She asks him what the fuck he is doing and he replies that he was looking at her shoes, wondering what her feet looked like. She demands that he worship her feet or she'll tell the whole world about his little "foot fetish". "Is this what you want? Is this what you REALLY want? You worthless disgusting pig!" The professor lays on the ground underneath Mischa's dangling feet as she reminds him of how she'll blackmail him if she doesn't get her "A"s. The professor sucks on her toes harder. "So far you've been true to your word, I've gotten all my A's." Mischa unbraids her hair and gets ready for bed as her footslave kisses her tired feet. He gently holds her heels and focuses on her feet as her beautiful long hair falls out of the braids over her shoulders. "On your back!" she says as she grabs him by his hair and forces him down on the floor. The professor stretches his neck and head trying to get as much of her toes into his mouth as he can from his position on the floor.The professor looks like he is in ecstasy with Mischa's feet in his mouth. "By the way professor…I got the job that I wanted from your excellent letter of recommendation. So…I won't be needing you anymore." The professor continues to kiss and suck at her feet. "One last thing professor…I told the school board. You're going to be fired. I don't need you anymore." She dismisses the professor.

Dancing with Digital in the World of E-Commerce
By Anthony Stevens, Partner & Chief Digital Officer, KPMG Australia
Anthony Stevens, Partner & Chief Digital Officer, KPMG Australia
Digitalization has touched all facets of the modern market. No industry has been spared. It has fundamentally changed how we buy and sell things and has led to an unprecedented rise of e-commerce. You only have to look at the state of departments stores to see how powerful it truly is.
But just because it caused chaos does not mean that it has been a zero-sum game. On the contrary, the consumer has also benefited significantly, and it's not just because of the abundance of choice that now resides at their fingertips - though this certainly helps.
To garner the attention of the consumer, e-commerce leaders understand that they need to offer something more. Organizations that have thrived in this brave new digital world know that being successful depends on creating frictionless user experiences, understanding their customer better than they understand themselves (think data), and being able to identify and capitalize on new opportunities (even if this means the pursuit of a completely new revenue stream that is distinct to their core business). These are the key drivers that help separate the wheat from the chaff.
Humans are inherently lazy, and taking the path of least resistance seems to be hard-wired into our daily routines. The Digital World has enabled organizations to significantly decrease the 'pain points' associated with buying goods, thus improving the overall experience. One stellar example of this is Amazon's patented '1-Click' checkout functionality—which eliminates the pain of manually entering long-winded shipping and payment details while purchasing goods. Though this concept seems so obvious, adding this basic feature cut out the most frustrating part of buying online. Thus simplifying the whole process flow for the consumer and making it easier for them to spend money. Apple Inc — renowned for making complex things simple and designing great user experiences, deemed this feature adding value to their products that they licensed from Amazon in 2000.
Customer obsession leads to the continual quest of truly understanding the needs and wants of the customer
Customer obsession leads to the continual quest of truly understanding the needs and wants of the customer, even if they don't know what they are as yet. This is where data – the new oil, plays a mission critical role. When collecting said data, no stone should be left unturned and all data should be considered equal at the beginning. Some will argue that collecting data just for the sake of collecting data is costly and pointless. Maybe, but sometimes great insights come from where you least expect it. In the mid- 2000s retailers in Minnesota did some analysis on buying patterns and experimented with product bundles. The data suggested a winning combination would be a chainsaw and mattress. The bundles flew off the shelf, profits soared and customers smiled. It only lasted for a few months though and sales dropped off. Why you may ask? Well, the analysis showed that those in Minnesota after a long winter enjoy heading out to their cabin for a holiday, only to find a tree has fallen through the roof destroying their bed. An illogical pairing made logical through the power of data – opportunities are everywhere.
Bundling a chainsaw and a mattress is a great exam¬ple of a retailer using data to strengthen their core business through customer-centric thinking, but to stay relevant in the digital age; organizations need to think big. It is imperative to have one eye on the present (core revenue streams) and the other on the future (potential revenue streams). Digital technologies have enabled some incredible new opportuni¬ties. WeChat, Asia's biggest messenger app, is the first to integrate a digital wallet that allows users to make purchas¬es from a pre-selected list of companies, which is based on the most common mobile purchases, all while conversing with friends and family. This is a great example of identify¬ing an opportunity through understanding their customers and capitalizing on this insight before anyone else does. This bold move, even though it traditionally wouldn't be viewed as core to their business, has only strengthened. WeChat's relationship with the customer. That being said, this wasn't a decision made off the cuff, it was calculated through a deep under¬standing of the market and their user base. It is imperative that decisions have a strong business case and that the implementation isn't only because the technology is 'cool'.
In the world of e-commerce where there is a vast selection to choose from and that too at a relatively low cost, in such cases, organisations wanting to stand out need to differentiate themselves by using other means. At the core of any decision needs to be the customer. Understanding and building value for those who pay, as well as making it easy for them to do so from strong foundations. But it is the companies that never get complacent with the status quo are the ones that truly manage to stand out from the crowd. Companies that rest on their laurels find themselves becoming super seeded by those who strive to continually offer their customers more, even if this means bravely forging into a completely new territory.

Video Testimonials***
Varicose Vein Removal 100% Success Rate***
Groin Dissection Varicose Vein Removal Testimonial Chicago IL***
Endovascular laser therapy is currently the newest, most effective and least
EVLT is successful in closing 96-98% of varicose veins. However, some veins are simply too large in diameter to be closed by laser ablation. Fortunately for those patients, Dr. Tolitano has developed the Groin Dissection with Ligation and Division of the Greater Saphenous Vein. This ground breaking varicose vein removal treatment has a 100% success rate.***
A Board Certified Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon with over 25 years experience, Dr. Tolitano is one of the few Vein Specialists in the country qualified to do this procedure.
He says, "This is the same vein I remove to put on the heart in open heart surgeries. I've been working with this vein for over 25 years. Being a Board Certified CardioThoracic Surgeon gives me the added expertise to be able to diagnose and finalize the treatment for the patient."***
Dr. Tolitano removes a segment of the vein from the system and stitches it closed. He then closes the other end with laser ablation. This combination removes the vein from the system with no chance of re-opening.
"We've done 35 Groin Dissections over the last 5 years and have a 100% success rate. All of those veins are closed and will stay closed. I guarantee it."***
Dr. Tolitano says, "By doing the procedure here at Advanced Vein Clinics, we can make the treatment less expensive by eliminating the need for a hospital stay. Patients come in, get treated and are back to their normal activities in the next few days."***
Lakeshia, a Suburban Chicago working mom is one of those patients. She suffered from pain and swelling in her legs for years before coming to Advanced Vein Clinics to get this ground breaking varicose vein removal treatment.
"It started during pregnancy with my first child and has gotten worse over the years. It feels like pins and needles stabbing my legs. I have a long commute to work and if I sit for too long my legs are heavy and tired in addition to the stabbing pains." Lakeshia says.***
But just days after her varicose vein removal treatment the pain is gone. At her 2 week follow-up visit Lakeshia said, "Not only do my legs feel better, but they look better. My skin is smooth. I was shocked. The pain is gone and the cosmetic aspect was a great unexpected benefit. No more pain on my commute to and from work. I would recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from varicose veins."***

This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included.
The swine feather was essentially a musket rest, useful for propping a heavy musket, but with a vicious looking iron spike on the end that could be used to form a hedgehog of spear points if placed in the ground, whereby the musketeers could, in theory, retreat behind and fire at their foe in safety. They remind one of the English Longbowmen using archers stakes in the Hundred Years war on the battlefields of Crecy, Poitiers, etc. Often swine feathers were carried only with the purpose of being carried as a stake , with no provision for being used as a musket rest. They were liberally issued in many armies on the continent, the Swedish army, of course, were versed in their use. The Scots Covenanter armies were certainly equipped thus, though we have little evidence of their success or otherwise, even General Monke, the Parliament general suggested their use quite late in the period.
You can use our Swine Feathers to give your models that individual look and also give the models a more Thirty Years war feel. They can be used as alternative musket rests, or driven into the ground at an angle next to a musketeer to show the hedge of stakes being formed by the unit. Just how common or how effective the stakes were is hard to fathom, but it makes your troops look a sight more confident when faced by galloping enemy cavalry!
This pack contains 20 metal Swine Feathers.

After the US Election – Still a Strong Investment Case For China
Market volatility in China and broad emerging markets has been on the rise in the wake of the largely unexpected results of the US election. As investors in this dynamic asset class, we are accustomed to volatility, however during periods of headline risk, it is helpful for us to revisit our core investment beliefs and assess whether they still remain intact.
Our firm was founded on three core beliefs:
- China will play an increasing role in US investors' portfolios
- The rise of the Chinese consumer is creating a long term growth opportunity
- Investors need a quality and reliable source of information on China in order to understand these dramatic changes
China's increasing role in US investors' portfolios
Many investors get their exposure to China through exchange traded funds (ETFs) that track indexes. The stocks theses ETFs buy are determined by the index provider. For a long time, index providers limited their China investment universe to about 150 Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, excluding approximately 3,000 Mainland-listed Chinese companies and dozens of US-listed Chinese companies from their indexes.
Last year, on December 1st, 2015, MSCI, a leading provider of indexes globally, moved to include 14 US-listed Chinese companies into their Global Standard Indexes. This week in advance of their December 1st, 2016 rebalance, MSCI announced they will add US-listed Sina and Weibo to these indexes as well, which will require MSCI benchmarked passive managers around the world to purchase these stocks at the close on November 30th1.
MSCI has not yet included Mainland listed Chinese companies into their Global Standard Indexes, however there is a new development on the horizon that bodes well for their future inclusion. This month marks the two-year anniversary of the launch of the Shanghai Hong Kong Stock Connect Program, which allows investors to buy stocks listed in Shanghai via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. There have been numerous reports that a companion program, the Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect Program, will launch sometime this month2. We believe this could be the final catalyst for MSCI to include Mainland Chinese equities into their indexes because it alleviates accessibility concerns.
The Rise of the Chinese Consumer
Investors are often surprised to learn over 50% of China's 2015 GDP was driven by the services sector.
While some might argue China should rebalance their economy away from export driven manufacturing to domestic consumption, there is a strong case that this transition has already occurred. We see multiple signs that China's consumer is alive and well. Singles Day, the largest E-Commerce sales event in the world, just took place on 11/11. Singles Day has grown exponentially larger than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
2016 Singles Day results
Alibaba recently released their 2016 Singles Day results:3
- $17.79 billion worth of goods were sold (Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV))
- +32% GMV Year over Year
- 657 million delivery orders versus 467 million in 2015
- Orders through Mobile devices generated 82% of total GMV
- 235 countries bought/sold goods
- 100,000+ total merchants participated
While Alibaba's competitors have yet to release their own Singles Day statistics, JD.com did report their Q3 earnings this week. JD reported that net revenues increased 38% to $9.1 billion, GMV increased 43% to $23.8 billion while annual active client accounts increased 57% to 198 million and fulfilled orders increased 55% to 401 million4.
Beyond JD's earnings, there were additional notable statistics released this week as well. Online auto sales company, Autohome, released their Q3 earnings which reported revenue increased 64% to $221 million5. NetEase announced a $1 billion buyback of their stock after it dropped last week6. Tencent reported their Q3 earnings, with revenues growing 52% year over year to $6.0 billion, and net profit growing 42% to $1.6 billion7. Finally, China's National Bureau of Statistics released the country's official retail sales results on Monday, November 14th showing a 10% year over year gain in October8.
Singles Day results, corporate earnings, and economic data, all indicate that China's consumer is alive and well.
We believe investors need a quality and reliable source of information on China
Every day we strive to provide a balanced perspective on China. We believe that the same media that largely misgauged the US political climate prior to the election, often fails to portray the economic environment in China accurately. In the Annual China GDP Breakdown chart above we showed how China has rebalanced its economy away from industrials / manufacturing toward services, yet most news reports ignore how much China has changed over the past decade.
For as much attention that has been paid to the detrimental effect US protectionist policies might play on companies engaged in global trade, very little has been reported on the domestically oriented nature of Chinese internet and technology companies. In an August 2016 article from the Economist titled: "China's tech trailblazers", the author equated China's internet landscape to "a sort of technological Galapagos island a distinct and isolated environment in which local firms flourish". China has made a concerted effort to reduce its dependency on the economic health, or political climate, of its trading partners, which could provide a buffer for these companies should the US implement trade tariffs.
In the coming weeks we believe the initial uncertainty stemming from the US election results will subside. China will continue to open up its economy and its weight within US investors' portfolios will continue to grow. Meanwhile, we believe the growth of the Chinese consumer shows no sign of slowing, and Chinese internet and E-Commerce companies are well positioned to benefit from this continued growth.

Brad Ausmus
Following a standout high school career, Ausmus was drafted by the New York Yankees, who permitted him to attend Dartmouth College during the offseason. He ultimately graduated in 1991. Meanwhile, he spent five years in the Yankees farm system before being selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 1992 expansion draft. He made his major league debut the following year, after being traded to the San Diego Padres. Ausmus was an All-Star with the Detroit Tigers in 1999 and won Gold Gloves with the Houston Astros in 2001, 2002, and 2006. He finished his career ranked third in major league history in putouts and seventh in games caught. He has appeared in more major league games than any other Jewish ballplayer. He played on several postseason teams, but reached the World Series with the Astros in 2005. In the National League Division Series that year Ausmus' two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth forced extra innings and positioned the Astros for a walk-off win in the bottom of the 18th. After his playing days ended, Ausmus worked in the San Diego Padres front office for three years before taking the managerial reins of the Detroit Tigers in 2014.
Ausmus was the manager for Team Israel in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

3. Can we have some ability to set up CE5 user groups?
CE5 User Group Management is likely to be included in a future release.

Yes it does. It is really just a web page and can be accessed from any browser on your desktop or any smart mobile device independent of the operating system. The process for downloading an icon to you desktop is provided above for iPhone an Android, but has not yet been provided for Windows Smart Phones. The icon however, is just a more convenient way to access, it still works thru standard browser capability without downloading the icon.

A new and free app named "ET Contact Network" has been released to connect with people in your area or around the world. Access www.ETContactNetwork.com from the browser on your mobile device.

Secure Chat capability is likely to be included in a future release.
7. I cannot see anyone's contact info.

11. How does the map decide where to open to when I login?
If it has been less than 30 minutes since your last access, it will take you to the last point on the map that you viewed.
If it has been more than 30 minutes since your last access, and you allowed location tracking when you first logged in, then it will display the portion of the map where you are currently located.
If it has been more than 30 minutes since you logged in, and you told the system not to track your current location, then it will display your home location in the center of the screen.
12. I registered but my map point is not showing up.
When a user registers, the system submits the address to Google Maps to get map coordinates (longitude and latitude) for the user. If Google Maps cannot find the address it will store the user with no map coordinates. When this occurs, you will not be able to find your point on the map after you register. On April 10th, an enhancement was released such that upon registration, the system informs the user if the submitted address cannot be found. The system also provides the instructions to the user to update their profile with . If you registered, but cannot find your map point, then please follow this process:
You have registered, however, the system was not able to find the address you entered.
Please obtain the latitude and longitude of your address by going to the following URL: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocode
You will have the following fields:
Address: type in your full address
Source: select the down arrow to pick "Google"
Select the button entitled "Geocode it"
You should see at least one map point result from the Geocoding. If there are more than one, select the one that looks closest to your location.
Notice there are two rows with different latitude and longitude format that should look something like this:
Latitude, longitude: 37.4115791, -108.6454391
Latitude, longitude: N37° 24.6947', W108° 38.7263'
The first row (underlined) is the format that you need to either cut and paste or key into your ET Contact Network Profile.
Make sure you put the latitude in the "Latitude" field, and the longitude in the "Longitude" field!
Select the "Save Changes" button on the bottom of you registration page.
Now, you would be able to find your map point. If you cannot, please go back into your profile and confirm that the Lat and Long match the result of the Geocode perfectly, and that they are keyed in the right order.
Thank you.

Coming up with an idea for a product is one thing and making it is another.
When I created the original 3D prototype we haven't had the exact idea of how will it be made but I had a vision of what will it look like.
Because we needed something bendy and foldable the idea of using a wire has come up. One group member then started researching internet to find a suitable wire with clips. She has found a perfect one however the size was way out of proportions.
When it comes to the hand I came up with an idea to have it laser cut as we can use the facilities for free and it will look neat and easy and quick to make. Our group member Ula had the hand laser cut for us so we can show the prototype during presentation.
I have created a prototype where I scaled the wire to the right proportions just to show what we want it to look like.
The struggle to find a suitable wire continued and we seem not to make much progress. As an product inventor I took the responsibility on myself and along with Emma we went out to physically look for one. I believe that hands on approach is the best rather than shopping online and simply relying on pictures.
Emma took on a challenge to make one by combining a bendy cable and a strong spring.
Sha has managed to achieve it however it was a hard work and the questions still remain unanswered: how will we attach the hand? how much space will it take to transport it?and how heavy will it be for the usb to hold it?
When the idea of laser cut came up I had a vision of laser cutting the whole thing but then the wire idea took over. Quick sketch I had in my sketchbook.
After not being able to resolve the issue with wire I decided to go back to this idea. That is why it is important to test it out rather than just research. I have then created a 3D prototype to visualise it. The product will be laser cut in acrylic sheet.
And also a physical one to demonstrate and also be able to calculate the measurements of it and test it out on the computer.
We can pick any thickness of the acrylic sheet but 2mm seems durable. Also the item can have any length and be amended to the size of the device you are using. When folded it will be compact and it won't take up much space. Arms will have to be attached together quite tightly and we could possibly use binding screws.
The only remaining issue is how to attach the clip which is in horizontal position to the product which we need to stay in vertical position. I am in process of sketching to come up with ideas.
The clip which we will be using is a bulldog clip 30 mm unless we find something even more suitable.
Hopefully I will be able to update my blog with the product already made.

|A Comparison of the Effects of Conventional and Nocturnal Hemodialysis on the Inflammatory Response of Chronic Renal Failure
|Brief Summary
|This study will determine whether a new form of home hemodialysis carried out at night during sleep reduces blood levels of hormone-like substances called cytokines that may cause fatigue and increase blood fats and sugar. Participants will stay twice in the Rockefeller Hospital and receive a standard diet and blood testing. Training for nocturnal hemodialysis will be provided at the nearby Manhattan Dialysis Center of The Rogosin Institute, affiliated with The Rockefeller University.
|Detailed Description
|Patients treated with conventional hemodialysis for at least 3 months and interested in learning home nocturnal hemodialysis will be screened in the Rockefeller Outpatient Research Center. If eligible, during the first 8 day hospital stay, participants will receive a standard diet and dialysis treatment nearby at the Rogosin Institute Dialysis Center. During the last 2 days, their blood will be frequently sampled for cytokines, fats and sugar. Dialysate will also be sampled. They will have the same diet and tests repeated during a second admission after either 4 months of conventional dialysis or 1 month training for nocturnal dialysis followed by 3 months of home nocturnal dialysis (randomized 1:1). After the second admission, patients treated with conventional dialysis will be discharged from the study and trained in nocturnal hemodialysis. Off-site computer monitoring will be utilized when patients dialyze themselves at home or during the admission in The Rockefeller University Hospital.

The iconic pixie from Peter Pan herself, Tinker Bell, is being added to list of memorable characters who are playable in the new craze of a video game, Disney Infinity. The fairy will be released alongside a wave of other classic Disney characters in November.
Tinker Bell served as one of the most requested characters to join the Disney Infinity cast list when the developers opened up a poll for the game's fans to input on who they would like to see join in the title. The blue alien Stitch from Lilo & Stitch served as the most requested character, although Tinker Bell came very close, reportedly.
Disney Infinity makes clever use of their marketing capabilities by enticing buyers with the numerous figures they have that are required to add playable characters to the game. Each figure will represent a Disney, Pixar or Marvel character and each toy is to be set on a base that uses a sensory technology to make that figure the user's primary avatar, instantly. The technology is possible through the use of near field communication (NFC) chips that are place within the base of each individual figure.
Tinker Bell's figure shows the pixie in her classic bright green tunic and blonde hair wrapped in a bun. The fairy's wings are spread wide behind her as she stands atop a leaf that appears to be floating on top of water. This is a very intricately designed figurine, as the addition of a leaf atop the water is very interesting, indeed.
Some skepticism arose when players learned that Tinker Bell will actually be life-sized in Disney Infinity. Developers stated that the point of their game is to allow the imagination to run wild and also continued to explain that every character is intended to represent their original cartoon design, but they all share a toy-like design, as Disney Infinity is intended to take place in a giant toy box. One must also make the observation that playing as a small shining light as opposed to the full body of a fairy would become rather tiresome and lackluster before long.
Although Tinker Bell may seem cute and cuddly, she has a wide array of attacks and abilities that are sure to impress any action-loving gamer. The fairy makes much use of her magic wand and can shoot her pixie magic at enemies from afar and also has great strength in melee combat. The pixie is very fast-paced so she can easily get the upper hand on certain enemies. Many of Tinker Bell's abilities that are acquired through leveling the character up include a great amount of health benefits such as quickly healing herself as well as teammates. The fairy can also unleash a special attack that creates rapid bursts of magic that can take out at least five enemies at a time if used correctly.
With Disney Infinity's addition of Tinker Bell into the mix, fans of the game only continue to grow in excitement. Tinker Bell will be released as a stand-alone figure on Nov. 4. A video featuring the pixie's gameplay can be viewed below.

Romantic evening, or a date from hell? Success can be only in the eye of the beholder….
Ever happen to you? Tell me!
Romantic evening, or a date from hell? Success can be only in the eye of the beholder….
Ever happen to you? Tell me!
Remember last week, when I told you that I planned to add part two from the last video cliip to this Add An Ending series? Well, here it is ladies and gents…
Her next client, gave her a 'little' twang in her yin, over his yang….
This gives a whole new meaning to when they say that big surprises come in small packages…
It takes Ying and Yang to create balance in one's life. There are people who want to find inner peace, while others are looking for inner piece… and need to find their vagina.
While this instructor, who is dating a black man and getting used to the idea, and so are her parents – her new student is learning how to get used to the idea of saying vagina, and how to accept another person's touch….
Who's going to get a piece now?
Let's finish the story, shall we? Give me a little of your yang, andI'll give you a piece of my yin…
And since part 2 of this is pretty funny, I'll be adding it to next week's Add An Ending series…. but, for now, let's see where part 1 takes your mind…. I'm looking forward to it!
You have a small fragment of time to get to know the next person of the rest of your life… however, just a few minutes, could feel like a lifetime – until the bell rings. is tonight where she'll end up going home alone, or will there be a new stranger in her bed? Who? You?
He sits there doing God's work. absorbing her confessions – one after another. He calls her out on her bullshit, separating the fact from her fantasies. She whispers in his ear of those things she day dreams about – the e man she knows is unattainable, yet still has fallen in love with…
The next time that she comes to confess, will he take her right there and then? Will he not be the one on the other side to hear of her next spoken words to God's listening ears? Tell me, what will she do with her devoted love, and will he accpet her advances, whether sexual or not?

Although I'm sharing this recipe, I recommend you purchase the cookbook (I receive absolutely nothing for this recommendation). Like many, I don't buy cookbooks in general because there isn't much you can't find online. This one however, is the exception. It exceeds all expectations.
Makes 10 crêpes
1-1/4 cups ATK flour blend
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (omit if making savory)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 almond milk, dairy or dairy alternative (I used light Vanilla almond milk for both savory and sweet crêpes and it was fine)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled (coconut will curdle a bit but it's fine)
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat for 10 minutes. While the pan heats, whisk dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk milk and eggs together. Pour half the liquid into the dry ingredients and whisk. Add the melted butter and stir in the remaining milk mixture until batter is smooth and void of lumps.
Lightly swipe a paper towel with coconut oil or another oil of choice in the warmed nonstick skillet. Increase the heat to medium or hotter and allow the pan to continue to heat for one more minute. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the skillet, it should sizzle as you quickly and swiftly pickup and swirl and rotate the pan in a circular motion to even spread the batter out into a thin 8-10in diameter. Cook until the edges are slightly brown and then gingerly flip the crêpe. I prefer using my fingers instead of a utensil but a thin spatula is fine. Cook 20-30 seconds on each side. When finished, place crêpe on a wired rack to cool before filling.
This does take a bit of practice. If the pan is too cool, it will turn out rubbery and if it's was too hot, you risk burning. Make sure to reheat the skillet for at least 20 seconds prior to each new crêpe.

The cost of a business has two sides: the one on paper and real. (To read more click on Business Myths ) For example, say you buy a franchise for the sale of computers, and assure that the return will be 20% (ie, you will win 20% on their investment each year) .
However, you do not invest enough time, is equal to its customers, hire a salesperson who knows nothing about how to sell … all this, though you may not believe, is what is business, and therefore affect whether the business is profitable or not.
This is ultimately the real profitability of paper passes 20%, maybe 2%. That is, all the money invested is earning only 2% per year (less than inflation over the year).
Depends on the location of the business
Another factor little discussed in books and courses of business is the value of the business location. Following the example, say you buy the franchise for the sale of computers, but puts it in a place that is at home, in a colony or family neighborhood.
Depends if measured as a percentage or amount
Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of looking at CIFAS in numbers and not percentages. For example, say you sell computer parts in his shop, and the numbers tell the following:
– A Computer Sale – Sold $ 10.000 – $ 1.000 Total Utility
– Sale Compu Maintenance Service A – Sold $ 500 – $ 250 Utility
– What product is worth promoting more?
Answer: mantemiento Service. If you see in terms of percentages, profits generated from the sale of computers to 10%, but MAINTENANCE service generated revenues of 50%.
What business is profitable? Conclusion
If Search How do business is profitable ? and wanted to tell him "This business," chances are you are lying. Unless given a set of such balance sheet, costs, sales, etc.., The only way to determine if a business is profitable business is to think that interest you and determine how pay through a business plan.
More likely is that in 6 months close your business. The location of the business is among the top 3 most important factors to consider to increase sales . For example, the location where the business can be more profitable, in this example would be in a Computer Square or a shopping mall.

Technical Paper
Methodology for Virtual Analysis of the Dynamic Behavior of Parking Brake Cable Attached to Leaf Spring Suspension
Through computational dynamic simulations is possible to achieve high reliability index in the development of automotive components, thus reducing the time and component cost can generate significant levels of competitiveness and quality. This work suggests the validation of a methodology for simulation, able to predict and quantify the best design of the parking brake cable that although it is flexible, has in its structure composite elements of different mechanical properties. Known difficulty of mathematically predict nonlinear relationships deformation under forces and moments effect was first established, studies based on experimental measurements serve as input parameters for simulating the dynamic behavior of the flexible cable. With the aid of motion making use of NX9 CAD software, it was prepared the dynamic movement that the leaf spring suspension system does.

The expert in Iron Age farming was the late Peter Reynolds. His recently reprinted, Ancient Farming, is the perfect place to start your research into the life of the pre-Roman Celts. His experimental archaeology at Butser Ancient Farm lead to insights not found in traditional archaeology. For example, digging up bones tells us what kind of animals lived on an Iron Age British farm, but Dr. Reynold's observations of actually raising the descendants of these animals informs us as to how the livestock were kept and how that could affect choices made by the ancient farmer.
Chapter Contents:
1. Introduction
2. Nature of Evidence - an explanation of the sources for our knowledge
3 The Sequence of Development - the history of ancient peoples' transition from hunter/gatherers to farmer society
4 Farming - Growing, storing and using plants. Raising and making use of animals
5 The Farming Year - typical farm work by season
6 Conclusion
A compliment to Ancient Farming, is another book by Dr. Reynolds, Iron-Age Farm: The Butser Experiment, published by Colonade Books, British Museum Publications, Ltd. 1979.6x9 in., 112 pages. It covers the same information, with the addition of chapters on Iron Age buildings and structures. The text deals specifically with the experimental archaeology done at the Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire, England, with general implications for farming in Iron Age Britain as a whole.

Statement by the City of Cape Town's mayoral committee member for safety, security and social services, alderman JP Smith.
The City of Cape Town's Law Enforcement Department recently impounded its 100th vehicle used for illegal dumping. The milestone came just a year after an amendment to the Integrated Waste Management By-law making provision for impoundments.
Heavy costs
The drivers were each fined R5 000 and a further R7 500 impoundment release fee is payable to reclaim their vehicles. This is currently what the law allows the City to do. In addition, Law Enforcement has issued 172 dumping fines valued at nearly R750 000, issued more than 500 compliance notices, and impounded 80 wheelie bins used for illegal dumping. The Philippi farming area and surrounds remains the worst hotspot, with a staggering 86% of vehicle impoundments happening in this area.
However, the income derived from the City's enforcement efforts is a drop in the ocean when compared with the cost of cleaning up illegally dumped materials, not to mention the potential health impact on surrounding communities.
Multi-tiered solution
As with any other societal challenge, of which there are many, enforcement alone is not the solution. The City conducts ongoing awareness sessions about the impact of illegal dumping on the environment and the health of communities. We have 24 waste drop-off sites around the city where we accept recycling, garage and garden waste, and clean builder's rubble at no cost to residents.
Furthermore, we have incentivised the public to blow the whistle on illegal dumping. The City already has a reward system in place where members of the public can call our Public Emergency Communication Centre (PECC) on 107 from a landline or on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone to report offences. If the tip-off results in an impoundment, arrest or recovery of stolen or illegal goods (with the understanding that a formal case docket will be opened with the South African Police Service and a relevant case number provided), then a reward of up to R5 000 is payable.
The City is extremely serious about addressing illegal dumping; however, we cannot do it alone and require the help of each and every resident in Cape Town if we are to achieve the ideal of litter-free streets and public places. Let's work together and eradicate this problem. I urge residents to recycle more in order to reduce pressure on our landfill sites and to refrain from using the so-called 'trolley brigade' to dispose of unwanted rubble or waste. Experience has taught us that these items are dumped at the first most convenient spot, which adds to the problem. It hampers our efforts to create safer, healthier communities through service excellence, as spelt out in our service delivery blueprint, the Organisational Development and Transformation Plan.
'Broken Windows'
When viewed in the context of the 'broken windows' theory (popularly championed by former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani) it is clear that as long as indicators of disorder like vehicle wrecks, broken infrastructure, graffiti and dumping and littering prevail in an area, it will be almost impossible for the community to achieve urban regeneration and thus criminal activity will remain more prevalent than in areas where these indicators do not exist or do not exist in abundance. Cleaning up an area and ensuring that the community develops an intolerance of dumping and dumpers is essential in fighting the culture of lawlessness and crime.

Policy makers must follow the WTO rule book
Published 29 June 17
The UK does not have a blank sheet of paper to redesign its agricultural trade and farm support policies post Brexit.
Regardless of the whether a trade agreement is in place with the EU, the UK will need to abide by World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules affecting agricultural and trade policy when it exits the EU.
AHDB have explored the relevant issues in a new Horizon report, released today (29 June) at the AHDB Meat Export Conference 2017.
AHDB Head of Strategic Insight, David Swales said: "The WTO exists primarily to liberalise world trade, and provides a framework of rules to achieve this. These rules are far reaching and have implications not only for UK trade but also for UK policy and policy of the devolved nations.
"Brexit means the UK will need to notify the WTO of its intended schedule of tariffs and levels of support. An open question remains on whether the UK will inherit the current level of tariffs and support from the EU, or whether it intends to produce its own schedule.
"In addition, there are some Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs) such as those for New Zealand Lamb that have been agreed at WTO level. The question on how these will be divided between the EU and the UK is also as yet unanswered.
"It has been suggested that animal welfare standards could be used to prevent imports from countries with lower standards than the UK. However, WTO rules mean that this is highly likely to be challenged by other member states, and needs to be based on a sound scientific or legal basis if UK standards are to be set higher than the prevailing international standards.
"In terms of policy support, the type of policy the UK can adopt post – Brexit is also constrained by WTO rules, with trade distorting subsidies being limited and reduced over time. Whilst the overall level of support is more likely to be impacted by the UK governments spending priorities, the structure of agricultural policy will have to adhere to WTO rules."

Show Some Love
Do you ever get jealous of fictional characters? I find myself envying Zoey Deschenel's wardrobe in New Girl, and that Wonder Woman can roam around with a lasso of truth in some killer red boots. I also get jealous of real people- random friends on social media I see who seem to be having amazing time connecting with friends, and… Read more →
Tell Fear to Skedaddle
I'm not entirely sure skedaddle is a real word. But I know fear is real. I know it lurks in the places where we start to think about trying something new, especially when it comes to spirituality.

This is My Life
A couple years ago someone made the comment about a fashion blogger they read regularly- "why does she post about her kids? If I wanted to know about toddlers I'd read mom blogs, which I'm totally not interested in. I just want to know how to tie a scarf 27 ways or what flats are in style for the spring.… Read more →

Recently I led a seminar with my colleague Doug at InterVarsity's national staff conference. When we were debriefing how it went he told me frankly "your creativity stresses me out."

Thoughts on Leadership While the Nail Polish Dries
I love nail polish. It's a low-commitment, low-cost vanity/beauty splurge that when used properly forces me to slow down and not do a whole lot. Which is why I am typing slowly and not moving my feet right now – pink on the toes and a french mani. And when life slows I can breathe, pray, think and reflect. Tonight… Read more →

Better together: technical writers and content marketers
Technical communication and content marketing have a defined goal in common: to deliver high-quality content that helps people solve problems. Yet given this fact, why does a gap often a yawning chasm persist between the efforts of technical writers and content marketers within most organizations?
What marketing value does technical content have, and how can it be efficiently leveraged? What do tech comm and content marketing teams stand to gain by working collaboratively? The answer in short is: quite a bit, on both the tech comm as well as the marketing side. But to get there, a shared understanding of business goals, a mutual respect for the talents that both teams bring to the table, and a strong methodology of cooperation and collaboration are needed.
Content marketing and the gap
In recent years, content marketing has become one of the most important tools for businesses to generate awareness and demand for their products and services. This rise is due to a particular reality we all face in our modern world were saturated by messaging. In both our online and offline lives its nearly impossible to escape the pervasiveness of marketing messages. In fact, the interruptions are getting stronger, more constant, and more desperate in order to get through. Mobile notifications alone increased by over 30 percent in 2016. Ironically, the more messages were bombarded with, the less were actually willing to listen.
Content marketing reverses all of this. It assumes that the best way to get through is not to interrupt, but to inform. The idea is to focus on the need that a product or service meets, and to dive deep into understanding the challenges, motivations, and goals of potential customers who have this need. This understanding forms the basis for the creation and publishing of content, which addresses these needs and offers relevant solutions. Its an SEO-focused tactic: If the content is truly of value, then it will be found by those searching the web for solutions and will help to build the trust that can lead to a purchase. As Rand Fishkin of SEO leader Moz Inc. sums it up: "[The] best way to sell something: don't sell anything. Earn the awareness, respect, and trust of those who might buy."
The common ground between content marketing and technical communication is a strong focus on the needs of the user. Both aim to meet these needs by providing helpful, high-quality information. The big difference is that tech comm is about the "how", while content marketing is about the "why". Technical content addresses the problems of existing users by teaching them how to do things. Content marketing addresses the problems of potential users by teaching them why doing things differently can be beneficial to them. This "how" versus "why" is the essence of the gap, and it must be understood by both tech comm and marketing teams in order to achieve genuine collaboration.
The benefits of teamwork
When the work of technical writers is leveraged to help the efforts of content marketing, the most important result is higher quality content for information consumers. An organizations existing documentation can be a wellspring of building blocks for marketing teams to use to create SEO-focused articles and posts. And by mining documentation metrics, such as page traffic, time on page, and usefulness ratings, marketing teams can get valuable insight into the needs of solution seekers. With feedback from technical writers, content marketers can achieve better accuracy in the materials they develop. And because skills often overlap between members of both teams, collaboration can achieve greater efficiency by eliminating duplicated efforts.
Technical writers are professional communicators with a role that keeps them sharply focused on user needs. Because of this, theyre perfectly positioned to drive a virtuous cycle of marketing content improvement by giving regular feedback. Tech writers are intimately familiar with the features, benefits, and use cases for products and services, which is the lifeblood of marketing communication. And because they have put themselves in the users shoes, tech writers are often able to articulate the desires and behaviors of potential customers to the marketing team in a much clearer way than the product or engineering folks.
My company, K15t Software, builds tools to help organizations take a collaborative approach to documentation, so were keenly interested in exploring the benefits that come from using a shared documentation and content platform throughout an organization. This has been incredibly helpful for us in achieving a cooperative working relationship between marketing and tech comm. What weve found is that when the two teams work collaboratively within the same system, they can build a single source of valuable documentation that perfectly serves information consumers both before and after purchase.
A two-way street
With insight from content marketers on the "why" the product or services benefit technical writers can improve their own work too. Bringing a bit of benefit language, with a very light touch, into the documentation can reveal empathy for the reader and build rapport that helps to get readers more engaged with the content. It can also help to build brand loyalty in an indirect way thats worlds away from typical sales or marketing messages. Apples documentation provides numerous examples of this, often explaining at the topic level in very direct terms "why" a function or feature exists before going into "how" to use it.
But perhaps the most important benefit that technical writers can receive from closer collaboration with marketing teams is to help open the organizations eyes to the power of documentation in helping to achieve its business goals. When tech comm plays a bigger role in the creation of marketing content and helps make that content more effective, it becomes more obvious to other stakeholders that great documents can be a tool for organizational growth. The marketing team can be a strong advocate for the business value of technical documentation.
Go light, go fast: five bridge-building tactics
If youre itching to get started, youre in luck. There are many things your organization can do right now to get technical communication and content marketing more closely aligned. These changes dont have to be arduous, complicated, or painful. You can start now by teaching your old docs new tricks.
1. Publish prominently on your site
Your existing documentation is content marketing, whether your organization realizes it or not. The documents are a huge, search-friendly resource of topic-relevant information that is specifically designed to help people. Search engines love content like this but, to give your business the SEO credit it deserves, the docs should be published on your root domain (www.yourcompany.com/help) or on a subdomain (www.help.yourcompany.com).
Documentation is such a great asset, it should also be easy to find place a prominent "Get Help" link on the home page or in the navigation of your site. It will not only assist purchasers or trial users in having successful experiences with your companys solutions, but also inspire confidence in those considering making a purchase.
2. Use keywords, tags, and links strategically
A simple keyword and tag strategy, based on the search queries of solution seekers, should be defined by marketing and implemented throughout the documentation. This helps to set up a unified termbase according to topical relevancy as search engines index the site, and it provides clarity to users as well. The same idea should be applied to the link structure of the documents. Though linking can be a more complex topic, its worth addressing, as links are another crucial way that search engines determine which articles are relevant to what topics.
3. Make tech comm part of the brand experience
This may seem obvious but, surprisingly, it is often overlooked. The documentation is as important a brand touchpoint as other assets, and it should be treated that way. An organizations style guide should be applied to any public-facing documentation, including logos, color palettes, typography standards, and even written tone-of-voice where applicable. When documentation proves truly useful and leaves a reader satisfied, presenting it within a unified brand experience can increase trust and foster loyalty.
4. Give your docs interactivity
Modern consumers expect their online experiences to be interactive. Make sure your documentation doesnt deny readers the valuable opportunity to communicate with your company. Place a comment section, feedback rating or "Was this page helpful?" widget, and add share buttons to your documentation articles. Many of the tools to implement this functionality are inexpensive or free, and theyre easier than ever to implement.
This will not only help your customers and customers-to-be to have a more fulfilling experience, but it will also provide valuable insights for tech comm and content marketing teams as to what content is most valuable and which things are lacking or could be improved upon. You can even go one step farther by hosting communities via email groups or forums to allow your users to help one another.
5. Leverage documentation as a content foundation
There are many ways your existing technical content can enable and inform the work of the content marketing side of your organization. By performing regular reviews of documentation articles and highlighting those with strong usage statistics, marketers can glean a wealth of material to form the basis of best practice and tutorial content such as blog posts, videos, webinars, and whitepapers. Documentation articles can even be used to inspire success stories. The idea is to take relevant articles that are frequently read, and ask outside partners to tell the story of how they followed these processes through to successful completion.
Bear in mind, though, that every time marketing teams take content inspiration from documentation, they must remember to include the why benefit argument. This will make the content more relevant to those who are searching for solutions to their problems, but who are not yet customers.
Go deep: three ways to build bigger, stronger bridges
In my company, were on a journey to make the relationship between technical writers and content marketers truly collaborative. This sort of change not only requires tactical modifications but also major changes to the organizational approach and mindset. Some initiatives are not yet complete, while others have already proven to be of great value. Here is how our teams are going deeper and building bigger, stronger bridges between tech comm and content marketing.
1. Realize that documents are a business asset
The unfortunate truth is that some businesses treat documentation of their products or services as an afterthought. The outdated mindset is that once a sale has been made, supporting the experience afterwards will only have diminishing returns. And while tech writers have never followed this line of thinking, content marketers can help add new arguments for the business value of great documentation.
The SEO factor alone is very important, where docs can help potential customers who are searching for solutions to more easily find the companys offerings. Above all, high-quality documentation increases brand confidence and helps solution seekers achieve success with products theyre able to try out before purchasing. And then there is the more widely accepted value of the post-sale documentation. With the pervasiveness of forums and review sites, customer loyalty and first-hand recommendations are more important than ever to the growth of a product or service. The influence of great documentation cannot be stressed enough here.
Finally, there is the long list of aforementioned advantages to be reaped when documentation is leveraged collaboratively. This must be seen in the light of the fact that nearly all marketing teams today do content marketing. On average, B2B marketers allocated 28 percent of their total marketing budget to content marketing in 2015. In 2016, 47 percent of B2B buyers viewed three to five pieces of content before engaging with sales. If content marketing is important to an organization, and if documentation is important to content marketers, then the business should recognize the role of tech comm in helping achieve its marketing and sales goals. Organizational stakeholders must be on board with this idea in order for the tech comm/marketing partnership to be successful.
2. Share the big picture
Marketing departments understand the high-level business objectives of their organization and derive their marketing goals from these. However, these goals are not always shared with technical writers. Problems arise when the two departments have to work cooperatively, yet do not have a common understanding of where the organization is headed. Marketing and technical communication teams must come together with other stakeholders of the company and come to a shared view of the business objectives, the strategy that will be used to get there, and what tactical roles each team must play to succeed.
Following the alignment of business goals, the next step we took in my company was achieving a shared understanding of the buyers journey. This was extremely helpful. We gathered the marketing team, technical writing team, and the CEO together for a "funnel summit" where we looked at the path a buyer takes from awareness of the problem all the way through to being a repeat, evangelist customer. We determined what type of content was most helpful at what stage, analyzed what we already had in place and which gaps remained, and developed a plan to fill them and improve our existing materials. Content marketers and technical communicators both have important roles to play at multiple stages in any buyers journey, and the best way to achieve this is an open and effective collaboration.
3. Move forward with mutual support
Once the marketing and tech comm teams have the groundwork in place to understand their roles in supporting one another and advancing the goals of the business, they should keep the relationship close as they move forward. Stakeholders from each department should meet regularly to be sure theyre in alignment regarding relevant decision-making, keep tabs on project collaboration and workflow progress, and find solutions to potential blocks.
These stakeholders should also communicate regularly with leads from other departments such as sales, customer service and support in order to receive feedback about the quality and effectiveness of the documentation and marketing content produced. The tight relationship has been transformational for the teams I work with and, after following this road, neither the marketing nor the technical writing team can imagine it any other way.
A common goal and shared success
When two teams in an organization aim to provide high-quality, problem-solving content to information consumers, its only natural that they should join forces and bring their unique talents to support each other. By taking steps to bridge the gap between technical writers and content marketers, through tactical changes, shared understanding, and a collaborative approach, your organization can increase the effectiveness of each team along with delivering a better experience for customers and customers-to-be.

Jay Z purchased Tidal early in 2015. Since that time, he's worked tirelessly to promote the company. Jay Z has also gone out of his way to point out the backlash to black ownership he's experienced in the process. At his 2015 B-Sides Concert, he went so far as to call out his competitors and the inherent white privilege they receive, in contrast to himself. Jay Z's cause is a worthy and absolutely necessary one: ownership matters above all things. The problem is that Jay Z started his career as a drug dealer and just one felony charge would have aborted his colossal success. His fame could have, all along, been used to challenge mass incarceration and America's blatantly racist drug policies but his newfound activism only surfaced when he stood to benefit personally. This is precisely the problem with the Oscars controversy.
Jada Pinkett Smith sent out a call to boycott the Oscars and for blacks to invest in their own programming. Like Jay Z, Smith was highlighting a simple truth and that is again about ownership and investing in self. Smith was absolutely correct in raising our consciousness to a higher level and to fight the greater battles of ownership and organizing resources for black advancement. The shot Smith fired, after a very public snubbing of her husband for an Oscars nomination, has somehow morphed into a righteous crusade to acknowledge black actors and create more opportunities for them in Hollywood. Oscars host Chris Rock echoed those sentiments when he said, "We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors. That's it…Not just once. Leo (DiCaprio) gets a great part every year."
While these are certainly worthy goals, just as in Jay Z's case, the activism seems to only be awakened by and directed toward self interest and perhaps, tangentially, the interests of the masses of disadvantaged people. Historically, black entertainers fought for the oppressed masses. Today the oppressed masses are expected to fight for the entertainers. It is seen when Jay Z appeals to fans to subscribe to Tidal in an effort to help him and other artists fight the machine (full disclosure: I am a Tidal subscriber and I appreciate that the company has donated to black advocacy organizations). It is on display when Jada Pinkett Smith asks less established actors to boycott the Oscars with no guarantee that the entertainment company she and her husband own will actually give them work.
Dick Gregory was a successful comedian during the 1960's. Gregory's breakthrough in comedy came in 1961 when a one night performance at the Chicago Playboy Club turned into six weeks and ultimately earned him an appearance on "The Jack Paar Show." Having just begun to establish himself on then national scene, the obvious thing to do would have been to play it safe, grow his following and earn as much money as he could for several years. Instead, by 1963 Gregory found himself jailed in Birmingham for fighting oppression, although he actually lived in Chicago. Gregory placed the plight of the masses above his personal battles. Yes, he still performed and fought to have his art appreciated. He did also, however, use his platform unapologetically to fight the larger battle of black liberation, although he stood to gain very little personally in return. That is selfless, genuine advocacy on behalf of the oppressed.
Yes, Jay Z and Jada Pinkett Smith are 100% right when they direct our focus to the larger issues of ownership and organizing resources. They should be commended for this and we should follow their lead. However, they must mature as activists and see the urgency in issues that do not directly impact them but do in fact persecute the masses. Jay Z would be the perfect spokesman to fight mass incarceration. Rather than giving large gifts to the Church of Scientology or funding an exclusive school, perhaps the Smiths could find more meaningful ways to benefit the black communities they have so vocally expressed concern for. Yes, the Oscars are very white but black entertainers have the power to work for much more than a little statue.
