Purpose – This paper aims at a deeper understanding of why a heavily anthropological method as design thinking is being applied by practitioners.
Approach – The paper is based on a literature study.
Findings – It takes methods different from the ones applied earlier in service management as to the move from uniformity to diversity. And this is only a natural consequence of Zeitgeist.
Research limitations/implications – Within the framework of the present document, the research is being limited on marketing as a phenomenon geographically to the Western world and chronologically to the advent of commerce and thereafter.
Originality – The contribution of this article is about a deeper understanding of how heavily anthropological methods in service marketing emerge as a consequence of Zeitgeist. Service design thinking is a fresh and recent method. To the knowledge of the author, there have been no studies conducted in order to understand why this method has come into existence.
Practitioners and researchers agree service design matters as a competitive advantage in a virtual global business context (Sparke 2013, Stickdorn Schneider 2011, Sauming 2009). However, how services are to be designed in order to satisfy the end-user has been discussed from various angles. Dominating approaches in business administration is a traditional top-down, inside-out perspective as discussed in Saumung (2009), whilst multidisciplinary course of action advocates rather radical outside-in perspective as proposed by Stickdorn/Schneider (2011). Earlier outside-in perspectives can be traced back to the research community in Service Management with roots back in the 1970ies. Gummesson, Grönroos, Normann, Zeithaml, Parasuraman and Berry are some recognized scholars related to the community. Yet Service Management promotes an active investigation of the end-user in order to know one's market and design service according to consumer needs, it is being suggested to be performed by traditional qualitative methods in marketing research. Emerging methods similar to Design Thinking as in Brown (2006), Kimbell (2011), Kimbell (2012), Stickdorn/Schneider (2011) are radical in the sense of being heavily anthropological, which is rare in management research. Now, it appears Zeitgeist as described in Sparke (2013) is causing this need for radical methods, as design no longer only is visual but an ensemble perception, which can be experienced in multiple ways: felt, smelled, heard, seen. This is, service design has become a part of experience economy similar as in Pine/Gilmore (2011) and it can be assumed it is only a natural consequence of Zeitgeist, that methods different from the ones applied earlier in management research are needed.
This paper is mainly based on a literature study and aims at a deeper understanding of why a heavily anthropological method as design thinking is being applied by practitioners. In order to clarify the "desk research" results of the literature study, it is also based on a number of in- depth interviews with design consultants applying design thinking.

Making the Perfect Portfolio Case Study
In order to figure out what should be included in a portfolio case study, let's dive into a little bit about the point of the case study. The traditional portfolio only presents finished work, often work that never came to fruition or it was produced in a sub-optimal way, not the way the designer intended. The popular wisdom around design portfolios even suggests that designers show the work in the way they intended instead of what was actually made! But that's actually a terrible idea. Here's why:
A finished thought experiment doesn't tell me anything about the most important skills it takes to be an effective designer. Is it your ability to choose colors and set type? Nope. Those are a given. Anyone coming out of any design program or even people with natural talent can do that. And with all of the tools available to designers now, like color pickers, and the fact that it's impossible (or at least a waste of time) to perfectly kern a dynamic interface, these are commodity skills.
So if design ability is a given — the cost of admission, not a competitive advantage — then what are employers looking for? Is it mastery of software, like Adobe and Sketch, or programming languages? Nope again! With resources like youtube, Udemy, Udacity, Code Academy, and a slew of others, a smart person can learn enough of any one of those programs to be proficient in an afternoon. The idea of software proficiency as a skill is outdated. These shouldn't even be on your resume. It's like listing "typing" and "arithmetic."
Alright, alright. So we now know that a case study is not designed to showcase your innate design chops or your photoshop skillz. What's left?
A case study is the best way for a potential employer to get a feel for what it would be like to work with you. The skills that will set your apart are things like cooperation on teams, autonomy, speed of work, process, ability to take feedback, making smart compromises, and more. Everything in your case study (and on your portfolio for that matter) should be in service of one of these attributes.
Now that we know the "why" of the case study, let's dig into the "what."
The anatomy of a great case study:
- The goal: Was it merely a brand refresh to bring the company into the 21st century? Was there a conversion problem from free to paid customers? Was this to improve signups? Retention? Comprehension? Reduce support tickets? Churn? Explain why this project even happened.
- The challenges: Why was this a hard or interesting problem? A case study without any challenges doesn't tell me much. This is where you get to showcase your problem solving, teamwork, and negotiation skills.
- Your role: Be really upfront here. No one wants to play the guessing game of "well, what did this person *really* do on this project?" If we're left wondering, we'll often automatically assume you didn't do all the work. And with no clues, it's really hard to make a bet that the skills you brought to the table are the right ones.
- The thing: At this point, it's good to show the thing to give some context to what's coming next.
- Process: Now how did you get there? This will be the longest section of the case study, and that's okay. This should include everything from the quick conversation you had in the kitchen to sketches, wireframes, color explorations, and everything in between. That being said, this should just be a hodgepodge of "process" photos (an artistic photo of you drawing on a whiteboard juxtaposed to a haphazard wall of brightly colored post-it notes). There should be some sense of story arch here — "we did this, which led to this, then this, then we had to backtrack to this because of new information x." Remember: the point of the case study is to get a glimpse of how we might all work together.
- The thing again: This time with more of the thing! Now is the time to show intricacies of the final design and talk about how they fit into the whole.
- Outcome: A small blurb about whether or not the project was successful. If not (which is totally okay!), why not? What did you learn, good, bad, or just interesting? This may sound small or dumb, but this is secretly one of the most important sections of the case study. Employers want to know that you're constantly learning and that you have the capacity and humility to evaluate whether a project was successful or not and the self-awareness to articulate what they would change in the future.
- Next steps: Don't just leave them at the end of the page with nothing else to do. The easiest thing to do from here is to exit. You want to direct viewers to other parts of your portfolio, your social media accounts, writing, or something else that highlights you and gives them a better sense of who you are.
- Bonus: I love testimonials (and so do hiring managers!) I like to sprinkle them in all over, and that includes case studies. If you have a great blurb to include from someone who worked with on this project, this is a great way to get that in front of a hiring manager in a context that makes sense (and not just a string of praise or a LinkedIn recommendation.)
This is the basic anatomy. Obviously, you should add and subtract to certain areas to suit your work. For example, a link to a working app or website, video of someone using the product, user research results, and any additional artifacts (like a custom font or icons) would be good additions.

On Tuesday afternoon, during Michael Young's introductory press conference, Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. was asked about how he plans to address the team's other pressing needs, most notably a right-handed corner outfielder who can hit for power.
Amaro, who is usually pretty tight-lipped about this sort of thing, spoke about the possibility of utilizing platoons in the outfield, and went as far as to suggest that a "double platoon" in both corner outfield spots was possible. And, although I disagree that platooning both corners is necessary (Domonic Brown should be guaranteed a full-time outfield spot in 2013), doing it for one of the positions is actually a good idea.
At present, the Phillies have five outfielders at their disposal: Ben Revere, Domonic Brown, John Mayberry Jr., Laynce Nix and Darin Ruf. With Revere slated to the be the full-time center-fielder and Brown the likely heir to one of the corner spots (at least, he should be), that leaves Mayberry, Nix, and Ruf to fend for the last spot. Ideally, you'd want to mix and match the three of them based on that day's pitching matchups in order to take advantage of their offensive splits, which would mean that Ruf and Mayberry would only start against lefties, and Nix against righties.
What this would do, ideally, is maximize the value of each player while hopefully improving the offense. And if you take the career averages of both Mayberry and Nix (I'm not including Ruf here, as he's very much a non-factor at the moment), you're left with one player who could put together a line of .268/.312/.497 with 17 homers over the course of a season. It's essentially all the production of a Cody Ross (career .783 OPS) but with better defense and at a fraction of the cost. It's not an exact science, but you can see how the Phillies don't necessarily need to spend a ton of money to get offensive production.
This also assumes that the Phillies don't make any other moves. There are a number of outfielders on the market that could fit into this scheme, including Ryan Sweeney (.293/.347/.402 vs RHP) and Scott Hairston (.276/.325/.500 vs LHP). Bringing in one (or both) of these hitters would potentially match the production of any free-agent outfielder currently on the market (Nick Swisher being the lone exception) at a fraction of the cost.
It's certainly an unconventional way of doing things, but these are unconventional times for the Phillies, and as such, they can't be expected to stay within the lines when it comes to filling out their roster.
And, double outfield platoons have been good to the Phillies in the past. The National League championship team in 1993 had Milt Thompson and Pete Incaviglia splitting time in left and Jim Eisenreich sharing time with Wes Chamberlain in right.

Mentor, Ohio — October 22, 2013 — US Endoscopy, a world leader in endoscopy device design and manufacturing, is proud to announce the release of the Respa™ O2 delivery bite block. The Respa™ bite block is purpose-built to hold the nasal cannula in place during upper GI procedures.
During procedures, patients may switch from breathing through their nose to breathing through their mouth. If this occurs, the clinician may need to relocate the oxygen cannula to the mouth or bite block. When the cannula is repositioned, it can interfere with the procedure by falling out of place or getting in the way of the endoscope.
"The challenges many clinicians face during these procedures can extend procedure time and create additional costs for the facility," says Tony Siracusa, Vice President and General Manager of US Endoscopy. "Unlike others on the market, the Respa™ bite block is specifically designed to house the nasal cannula, helping to eliminate frustrations, and ensure delivery of oxygen to patients is uninterrupted."

Independent senior reporter McSmith (No Such Thing as Society: A History of Britain in the 1980s, 2010, etc.) explores how arts and artists in Russia somehow managed to flourish despite Joseph Stalin's iron control.
Stalin decided whose work was acceptable. If it was not, it ended up in the ash heap—unless someone, like Pasternak or Gorky, interceded. The only literary style suitable in those days was social realism that lauded the Russian way of life. There were attempts to modernize, such as Sergei Eisenstein's addition of jazz to his films, and there were successes—e.g., his Battleship Potemkin (1925). Stalin knew that artistic success reflected on his regime, and he obsessively controlled everything, especially movies but also the music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Writers of poetry and plays all lived under his vigilance, as well. The greatest poets of the generation, under the eye of the censors, were never sure what would offend. Throughout his oppressive reign, Stalin had no problem sending artists to their deaths. Though he claimed that writers were the engineers of the human soul, every word written, every play or movie proposed was subject to review before, during, and after completion. McSmith shows how many persisted in the worst conditions and even returned after emigrating, for love of the homeland. Perhaps their strength came from knowing how much Russians loved the arts. Osip Mandelstam said, "there's no place where more people are killed for it." An epigram he wrote about Stalin was never written down, only recited twice, but the secret services still found out about it. Paranoia was a way of life. The author has a deep affinity for these artists, and his portrayal of their struggles makes our appreciation of them even stronger.
Lovers of Russian literature and music will find this valuable, and history buffs will get a fearsome picture of life under Stalin.

Much of Ed Brubaker's writing focuses on getting the deep, dark secrets at the heart of his characters and their oft-pulpy plotlines, but he revealed he's just as skilled at unveiling the fun facts behind his various success stories.
RELATED: Brubaker, Phillips Celebrate 15 Year Partnership at TCAF
During a promotional stop at the Los Angeles-area bookshop Skylight Books over the holiday weekend, the superstar writer (who recent works include "Velvet," "Fatale," "Criminal" and "Captain America") sat down for a lengthy public appearance and Q&A, keenly moderated by the editor of Badass Digest, Devin Feraci and attended by about 50 fans. The resulting conversation shed fresh, funny light on some of the behind-the-scenes secrets of many of his comic book creations, the highlights of which CBR News shares below.
The secret origin of the inspiration by his spy thriller "Velvet," with artist Steve Epting has some roots in his personal experiences:
Ed Brubaker: I've always been fascinated with the espionage world in general. My dad was in Naval Intelligence, and my uncle was a big mucky-muck at the CIA in the '60s and '70s, and so I was always, as a little kid, being around at weird cocktail parties full of spies and military people and things like that... There's this great episode of "The Sandbaggers" where the guy in charge of the agency has to find a new personal assistant or secretary, and he's the head of intelligence at MI6. And you realize, watching that episode, that the Girl Friday of that world would have to be one of the most qualified people of all time. So it made me look at the women are treated in movies and books about the espionage world, and how they're generally kind of overlooked... In the [fictional] espionage world, the women are just sort of used as part of the backdrop, or something to look sexy in a scene, or Moneypenny being flirted with by James Bond, and I thought, "That is such bullshit." Probably, to be the right hand to the person who's in charge of the agency, you have to be one of the most qualified, knowledgeable people in the world, and every single thing that the head of the agency looks at, you'd have to look at it first and weed out the shit that doesn't make sense. So it just seemed like whoever had that job would have to be so much more interesting than how they're portrayed, normally.
On the idea of casting Diane Lane in the role of Velvet Templeton:
I remember reading an interview with Diane Lane years ago, and she was saying that basically, after she turned 40, every role she was offered was playing someone's mom. Everything that was an interesting movie was getting sent to 25-year-olds, and I just thought, "How is that possible?" Diane Lane is one of my favorite actresses, she's super-beautiful and she's 40 and suddenly there's a thing? Of course, now I'm over 40 and I'm like, "People in their forties are interesting!"
"Velvet" nearly ended up as TV series on NBC -- until homogenous Hollywood industry-think derailed it:
When we initially started working on it, I had a couple blind deals for network pilots with NBC, and I was kind of pitching ideas and nothing was sticking. So I was like, "What are you guys looking for?" "Something kind of 'Alias'-y." "Well, I'm working on this comic about a woman who is a secretary who turns out to used to have been a secret agent..." So I told them what "Velvet" was about and they were like, "Ooo, we really like that!" So I took that in as a pitch and I sold it to them. And then they called us back after having bought it and said, "So, we really don't like that the main character's 45, and we really don't like that the secret agent character, the man, is dead. Wouldn't it be better if she was like 25, and he was training her?" And I was like "Well, that's not really what "Velvet" is, but I can write that for you guys and you'll never film it because it's like every other TV show on [the air]. I think you guys want "Covert Affairs," which you actually own under another network." The fact that [Velvet] was in her mid-forties was a thing, and I was hearing this from women who were in their mid-forties that were network executives, and I was like, "Do you not even see that you're, like, sidelining yourselves?" It was weird to me.
There's a difference in the way he writes when working with longtime collaborators Steve Epting and Sean Phillips:
I think mentally, for me, when I'm writing for Steve, I think more in terms of choreography, where there's action scenes in the book. I know exactly how Steve's going to draw action, so I know exactly how many panels to put on the page, and I can even picture where he's going to put the camera for it. So I think when I was writing superhero comics and "Captain America" with Steve, whatever part of me was good at that comes out more when I write for Steve than for anybody else.
And then the part of me that just taps into just getting into weird diversions and finding creepy moments and characters really comes out when I write for Sean. The work process is almost exactly the same: I write as many pages as I can get out before they're done with whatever they're on and send it to them, and I have the issues outlined and stuff. And Sean is incredibly fast and Steve is incredibly slow, so that's why our ["Velvet"] issues are six to eight weeks apart, because Steve wants to do everything but the color -- and I think he would do the color if the book would come out only once a year. [Laughs]
His stint writing Captain America became an iconic interpretation of the character because, ironically, Brubaker scaled back the flag-waving:
I distilled the things about Captain America that worked for me as a kid, and that I felt were relevant to modern life and the way we tell stories now, and to try to tell a really realistic espionage story that took place in a superhero universe. And I think taking it to that level and understanding this character and trying to portray him not as someone jingoistic -- I think taking out that jingoistic element and adding more of a core morality that I always think was there -- it was definitely there in the Simon and Kirby days. And the fact that he's a man out of time gives him almost a moral standing that we don't have now, in a way... We definitely [want that now] -- I would love if we had a real Captain America -- that was Chris Evans -- and super-hot. [Laughs]
The secret to getting the green light for Bucky's long-forbidden return was always as simple as rock-bottom sales:
Everyone who's ever written "Captain America" has wanted to bring Bucky back, and I was the first person who arrived at a time where they were willing to... The whole thing when Bucky died was a ret-con that Stan Lee did because he didn't like sidekicks, and Jack Kirby went along with it because he thought it was this great way to add tragedy to Captain America, so there was some part of me that as an eight year old kid went, "Wait -- if it didn't happen in a comic, then it didn't really happen." I was like, "If I ever get to write a Captain America comic, I'm going to bring back Bucky!"
But honestly, when I got the book, I was asked, "What would you want to do?" and I said, "Well, I have this idea about how to bring back Bucky, where he is like a really cool bad guy who's actually an adult." And Joe Quesada said, "Oh, that's really interesting, because we just this big summit where we were arguing over whether we could bring back Bucky or not, because 'Captain America' is not selling."
I was working on a thing with Gene Colan years later -- his last comic that he ever did; he drew Captain America, he co-created the Falcon -- and I asked him, "How come you guys never brought Bucky back?" And he said, "Oh, y'know, we were doing this story where Bucky came back and he turned out to be a robot, and I asked Stan, 'Why don't we have it be the real Bucky?' and he said, 'Aw, sales aren't low enough yet.'" Stan was always okay with [resurrecting Bucky], because he always left the door open -- like when Bucky died, they always put the word "supposedly" in there, so I felt like the door was left open. I got a lot of flak for it at the time, because it was a ret-con, but I also tried really hard to make sure the ret-con worked with the actual con, if that makes sense.
He expects his run on "Iron Fist" with Matt Fraction to provide much of the basis for the character's upcoming Netflix TV series:
What else could they use? [Laughs] Honestly -- is there this great "Iron Fist" run anywhere else? [Laughs] It was funny: When Marvel was like, "How far do you think this will go?" I was like, "I will be so happy if we get one more issue than John Byrne got." [Laughs] And we did.
His next project with Phillips will tweak their typically noir-drenched subject matter:
The next thing Sean and I are doing doesn't have a lot of action in it. It's much more character [driven] -- It's noir, but it's just different from anything we've ever done before. I'm always trying just to follow what's the right thing for me to do next and not follow the audience, because every time I do end up worrying about the audience, I come up with an idea that I think a lot of people will want to read, but it's not something I actually want to write. And the times I've tried to do that are the biggest regrets of my life, like the entire time I wrote the X-Men. And I read people who love my X-Men, and I put a lot into that, but I feel like that was so much more work for me than just writing, like, Captain America.
Thanks to his hard-boiled crime noir subject matter, he's cultivated a very unique fan base over the years:
When "Criminal" first started coming out, I think before prisons got wise, I was getting some email from prisoners whose families were sending them our graphic novels in prison, and I was getting really complimentary emails from guys who were like bank heisters and stuff. I was like, "I'm super-flattered, but also terrified. And at the same time, I kind of want to grill you." But also, I was like "Wow -- I kinda want to be in prison libraries.'
He can't find find any downside to the five-year exclusive deal he and Phillips recently inked with Image Comics:
Sean and I had been together for 15 years, and we were always a little bit shell-shocked and worried, even though our fanbase and readership seems to keep growing with each project and our trade paperbacks keep selling. [Our Wildstorm title] "Sleeper" was such a shoestring kind of thing where we always kept worrying were we gonna get cancelled, and we were always worried about why aren't the trades selling. Jim Lee had to keep calling us up, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to let them cancel the book." So our whole relationship as creators started out worried that no one was going to buy whatever we did. And after 15 years, I realized we are actually one of the most successful teams in comics, and yet some part of us still doesn't think that because we don't sell 100,000 copies a month like "Walking Dead" or something, but we sell enough that we make more than we would make doing those same books at Marvel.
Actually, we're probably one of the longest lasting teams in the industry at this point, that consistently puts out work every year, so I was like, "Why don't we get a deal where we can just do everything that we want to do and not worry about whether or not the books sell." Let Image worry about how to sell the books and where to do all that stuff. We have a 15-year track record that they could look at and say, "Oh, okay -- this is how you guys' books sell already, and we'll try to make that better." So they just gave us this deal and said, "Don't worry about anything but the art and the books and writing and creating stuff, and just go wild, go crazy with the format, do whatever you want to do, and we'll just be the ones trying to make the business side of it work." It was great for me, because there are people who have their own labels at Image, but they have to put out eight or ten books a month, and we could never do that. We only have like one thing we can do every month. So now I don't have to worry about any of the bullshit, and I know, for the next five years no one can cancel anything we're doing, so it's pretty awesome. And even if we're losing money, they still have to keep publishing it! [Laughs]

Artist Statement
Since 2005 I have been exploring fiber as a creative medium. My work represents a conduit through which I channel my experience as a member of the African Diaspora and as a woman in the world.
Improvisation guides my inspiration through mixed media on textiles. I meld hand-painted and commercial fabrics to create abstract art that explores color, shape relationships, pattern and rhythm, while also expressing a sense of community. Hence, use of text runs throughout my surface design combined with collage, painting, printing and other techniques.

The Art Newspaper [May 2015]: When "Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty" opens at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston on 15 April, it will justifiably attract enormous public and critical attention. It features 15 drawings by Leonardo and his followers, borrowed fr om the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, as well as the Codex on the Flight of Birds, around 1505, from the same institution; seven Leonardo drawings from the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence; and eight drawings by Michelangelo from the Casa Buonarroti in the Tuscan capital.
It is not surprising to see such an important show at the Boston museum, one of the world's great encyclopedic collections. But the institution behind the show and its first venue, the Muscarelle Museum of Art, part of the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, though renowned and respected in the museum community, is far less widely celebrated. Yet with this and two previous shows of Italian art which traveled to Boston, on Michelangelo and Caravaggio, the Muscarelle has made a name for itself as an organizer of eye-catching, scholarly shows and for managing to secure loans of some of the world's great art objects.

In response to the increasing allegations of intentional misrepresentation (IM) and general cheating in Paralympic sport, SwimSwam has learned that the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is working on a policy to protect athletes who come forward with evidence, or "whistleblowers."
Para athletes are classified into various categories to even the playing field within each race. Each swimmer is classified as having either a physical, visual, or intellectual impairment, and undergoes physical, technical in-sport, and technical in-competition assessments to reach a proper classification.
IM occurs when an athletes purposely throws his or her classification events in order to get placed into a more severe class.
IPC Head of Communications Craig Spence told SwimSwam:
The IPC is working on a whistelblower policy for classification. Developing such a policy is a complex process; unfortunately it is not as simple as just putting an email address or phone number on our website overnight.
We have to get everything in place first before we can launch such a procedure and this takes time.
Legally we need to change some rules within the IPC Handbook and all sport rules. We then need to ensure we have the sufficient resources recruited, trained and dedicated to such an initiative, which may include investigators, lawyers and such like.
We also have to develop the processes whereby the athletes who make the allegations are protected both domestically and internationally, while at the same time protecting the interests of those athletes who are in the correct class but are accused of cheating or being in the wrong class.
No timetable for the policy was given, but Spence also noted that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is also developing one.

When I first opened this book, I wasn't sure that I would want to finish it: it seemed to be about a confused woman with a troubled mind, working through her problems. I didn't think that I'd want to spend my time reading about her sorrows and I didn't think that I'd have the patience to read to the end to see if she overcame them.
But as I continued to read, I became intrigued with her story: her mother was a desperately unhappy woman who smothered her daughter with love on the one hand, but, on the other, tried to undermine her daughter's career aspirations when she realized that they would draw her away from home. When the mother finally died of cancer, the daughter was left with a great sense of loss—an overwhelming attachment to the memory of her mother coupled with confusion about how to get on with her life. Was she worthy of aspiring to happiness? This seems to be the overarching question that she needed to resolve, and that is where Paris comes into the story.
The mother and daughter had planned to travel to Paris just before the mother died. After the mother's death, the daughter traveled to Paris with her sister and, at some point, decided to purchase an apartment there. And for the rest of the book, the daughter, step by hesitant step, transfers her life from New York City to Paris. By the end of the book, she realizes that the challenge of moving to and living in the City of Light has helped her acquire a sense of entitlement to strive for happiness.
The book is full of descriptive detail about Paris. I especially enjoyed reading the descriptions of the neighborhood in which Anselmo purchased a small apartment, the French people she met, and her difficulties in learning the language. I appreciated her descriptions of food, cafés, and restaurants and, near the end of the book, her narrative about the château where she joined a French family for a three-day feast. It all rang true to me, a resident of the French capital for the last twenty-four years and a Francophile since 1975.
This book will appeal to readers who nurture a dream of someday moving to Paris, or to those who simply want to read a good adventure story about a woman who sets out to change her life.
My (Part-Time) Paris Life by Lisa Anselmo is available on Amazon.
Tom Reeves is the author of Dining Out in Paris – What You Need to Know Before You Get to the City of Light.

Mix together equal parts of salt, celery seed, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, garlic powder and paprika. This mixture can be used on any seafood or put into any seafood recipe to give it a zing. Be careful using to much of this mixture as the cayenne pepper is hot. The cayenne pepper amount can be reduced or omitted, as desired.

Gumbo & Jambalaya Is What's Cooking!
"Rockport has lots of local gems of restaurants, some on the "main drag" and others tucked away. As we pondered over the menu I asked Capt. Charlie what he was going to order. He said, "I don't know" just like any typical man. When the waitress came over (he must have made up his mind in a nanosecond) he surprised me and ordered gumbo. I got the strangest look on my face, I was really shocked that he ordered gumbo! After she took our order and went to put the ticket in I asked him about it. "Well, you haven't made gumbo in so long I was hungry for it." So, I'll share my gumbo goodness recipe along with another one of his favorites, with that I guess I better get to cooking soon too!"
Beverly J. Newton
BJ's SOUTH TEXAS GUMBO
4 cups cut okra
1 cup chopped celery
1-½ cups chopped onions
5 Tablespoons bacon drippings (you need to fry up 3-5 pieces of bacon, this is important to this recipe)
Sauté okra, celery and onions in bacon drippings until golden in color
Add 6-8 tablespoons flour; blend, cook slightly until lightly brown, this is your roux.
Add 2 cans cut-up tomatoes and mix well.
Add 1 large can V-8 (46 fluid ounce of any vegetable juice)
Add 6 whole bay leaves
1 tablespoon salt
¼ – 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
6 drops of Tabasco (or to taste)
2 quarts boiling water
Simmer gently 1 hour or until thickened
Add 2-3 pounds small shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 cloves minced garlic
4 slices cut from the middle of a fresh lemon
Cook 10-15 minutes, remove lemon and bay leaves.
Remove from heat and add 4 teaspoons gumbo file powder.
Serve over 6-8 cups cooked rice.
Makes 10-12 servings.
This is wonderful reheated for left overs the next day.
1 large onion
1 red pepper
1 hot jalapeno
5 stalks celery
5 carrots
¼ bunch cilantro
1-½ tablespoon chopped garlic
Chop all of above together and simmer in ½ cup butter until vegetables are done.
Add 2 cups chopped ham
1 cut up link polish sausage
2 cans diced tomatoes (with or without chilies to taste)
1-32 ounce can cream mushroom soup
1-32 ounce can tomato soup
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
1-6 ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 heaping tablespoon thyme
1-2 ounce package instant potatoes
2 cups water
Cook all together simmering approximately 30 minutes.
Add 2lbs. peeled shrimp and cook about 3-5 minutes more until shrimp are done. Serve over rice and enjoy.
1-pound cooked crab meat
1-( 8-ounce) package cream cheese
3-tablespoons chopped black olives
4-tablespoons chopped green onions including tops
Whole canned jalapeno peppers
Cut jalapenos apart in the middle lengthwise and remove seeds. Mix crab meat, creamed cheese, olives and green onions together; stuff jalapeno halves and serve. Sprinkle with Beverly Newton's Spice Mixture, or paprika. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Fillet fish any type fish will work (of course my favorite is redfish, BJ's is flounder) Cut the fillets in approximately 1″ x 3″ pieces, sprinkle with seafood seasoning, Old Bay Seafood Seasoning is great but you can use any type.
Cut cream cheese into 1/2″ pieces, so they will fit and almost cover the fish fillet. Set the pieces on top of the seasoned fish fillets.
Slice, half and de-seed fresh jalapenos, put cut side down on the cream cheese.
Wrap the whole thing (fish fillet, cream cheese and jalapeno) with a whole piece of thick sliced bacon, overlapping as needed, tuck the ends on the bottom.
Place on a foiled lined pan that has some type of lip on it, (don*t use a cookie sheet as the grease from the bacon will run off of it).
Sprinkle seafood seasoning again, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes or until fish is flaky. Your time in the oven is going to depend on the thickness of the fish fillet. Shrimp that have been butterflied is also great this way.
Fillet the redfish off of the backbone leaving the rib bones attached, leave the skin and scales on the other side. (If you have fished with me ask me to leave them on the Half Shell and I'll be happy to).
Fire up the BBQ pit and put the redfish meat side down for approximately 1 minute, flip the half shell over so the scales are toward the fire.
Squeeze a small amount of lime or lemon juice on the redfish then cover the redfish meat with Picante Sauce or Ranch Dressing (either one is delicious) and the skin will curl up and kinda make a bowl. Continue to cook for several more minutes until the redfish meat flakes with a fork. Serve and eat.
Fillet the redfish removing the rib sections also so you have boneless fillets. Roll the redfish fillet in unsalted melted butter (not oleo or margarine) then sprinkle with Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends, or "Blackened Redfish Magic". Depending on how hot you want the fillet as to how much you sprinkle on it.
Fire-up your OUTSIDE burner and cook in a very hot cast iron skillet, (do this outside as it smokes considerably) turning as you cook for about 3 minutes per side, until the thickest portion of the redfish can be flaked with a fork. Serve and eat.
BJ's FAMOUS FISH PATTIES
1-pound of fish fillets (de-boned). Cook fillets in crab boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes apart.
Drain fish and flake apart; add I/2-cup chopped onions and 1/2 to 3/4-cup Bisquick Mix. Form into patties and fry in I/4-inch vegetable sauce until golden brown on one side, then turn over and fry until other side is golden brown.
Serve with catsup, cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
2-pounds boneless fish fillets (approximately 6 pieces)
1-box of "Oven Fry" Extra Crispy for Pork, (Kraft General Foods Inc.)
Dip fish fillets in water. Roll in "Oven Fry" Extra Crispy for Pork Chop mix. Spray a baking pan with a non-stick coating (Pam).
Bake at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. This recipe sounds very simple and it is! It is also very delicious and low in fat and calories. Makes 4 servings.
2-pounds fish fillets such as redfish, snapper, trout or flounder can be used
1-cup flour
1/2-cup cornstarch
2-teaspoons baking powder
1-teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2-cups cold water (very important that the water is COLD as the batter is very thin.)
1-teaspoon salt
Mix above ingredients together and dip dry fish fillets into batter; let excess drip back into batter bowl. Drop fillets into deep fryer and cook until fish floats or is golden brown.
This recipe can be used with shrimp or oysters as well. Serve with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Makes 4 servings.
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1- 1/2-cups pineapple juice
1-cup sugar
3-tablespoons cornstarch
6-tablespoons vinegar
6-tablespoons ketchup

1/4-teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon OLD BAY@Seasoning
1-tablespoon baking powder

Redfish fillets, cut into pieces no more than 2-inches wide and I-inch thick
1-cup canned condensed milk
1-egg, beaten
Stone ground yellow corn meal
Vegetable oil for frying
Dip fillets into cup of canned condensed milk mixed with I-beaten egg. Roll fish in stone ground yellow corn meal. Deep fry in vegetable oil until fish floats and is golden brown. Any type fish, oysters or shrimp can be fried in above way and are wonderful.
Fillet several flounders; set aside.
Stuffing Mix: Mix together 3 cups crumbled left-over cornbread (or mix two small packages of cornbread mix and cook them, then cool and crumble), ¾ cuts chopped onions, ¾ cups chopped celery, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, ¾ cup chicken broth and 1-2 cups or approximately 1 lb. crumbled cooked crab meat.
Place a layer of flounder fillets in a 14 x 8 x2 inch casserole dish, cover with ½ cup melted oleo or butter, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of Beverly's Spice Mixture. Next, put a layer of the stuffing mix, cover with a layer of flounder fillets and cover with ¼ cup oleo or butter, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Trout or other soft-meated fish may be used in place of the flounder. This is a great dish to make ahead and refrigerate and bake when mealtime comes.
Wow if you aren't hungry by now you might be dead!! My mouth is drooling thinking of eating any of these recipes. Thanks for posting these Beverly!!

WRAPPED-UP VENISON – not seafood but it's great!!
(Recipe provided by Chelcie Oliver… Like mother, like daughter!)
Fire-up the pit or preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the venison round steak into about ½" thick and sprinkle with meat tenderizer and steak seasoning (any brand will work). Place on a cutting board and pound with a meat tenderizer hammer. Lay meat pieces in a bowl or pan of Worcestershire Sauce for approximately 10 minutes.
Chop up onions and jalapenos (if desired or red or green peppers can be substituted or added)
After venison pieces have been marinated in the Worcestershire Sauce lay out on a foil covered pan and put onions & peppers on top, roll up and wrap with a thick sliced of bacon.
Tie with cotton string or put a skewer through it. These can also be put on shish-ka-bob skewers.
These are awesome cooked on the pit or you can cook in oven for approximately 25-30 minutes.
Sugar is in the air!

- Description
Guitarists often switch between different types of strings, whether it be down to the gauge or just a desire to try out different brands. The Lifespan range of strings by Martin however offers exceptional acoustic quality in the same way their extensive array of acoustic guitars do. Martin have constructed the Lifespan guitar strings using their myriad of experience to ensure that the tone is everlasting with an acoustic sound that will inspire the masses.
For almost two centuries, Martin have been crafting some of the finest guitars we have ever seen or heard. This family-owned company are continuing to do this in their own way while trying out new and innovative techniques that make their products (be it guitars or accessories) stand out from the rest. Over the years, Martin guitars have been the instrument of choice for a huge range of different guitarists, from Johnny Cash to the one and only Elvis Presley, with more recently recognised artists such as Thom Yorke from Radiohead and the late Kurt Cobain.
The Martin Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are an extra light gauge which may be favoured by those who own a smaller bodied guitar or one with a cutaway design. These strings have been given an innovative and new patented treatment known as Cleartone technology which combines the ability for the strings to last longer but vibrate as naturally as normal. Though you will hear the difference, it won't affect how your strings feel so you'll barely notice the treatment and you will be able to play for hours. The strings are also protected against corrosion and dirt, and they are durable enough to resist against breakage.
The Lifespan extra light strings contain 92% copper, 8% tin and traces of lead, iron, zinc and phosphor and have a real featherweight feel. They produce a rich, low bass and crisp, high trebles, with an overall warm acoustic timbre. The phosphor in the strings allows them to retain their tone for longer durations, making them live up to their "lifespan" title.
Once you give the Martin Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings a chance, you won't look back!

fjrigjwwe9r1ContentsResources:HeaderExample:Finding Probability using Binomial Distribution
In probability
theory, to say that two events are independent intuitively means that the occurrence of one event
makes it neither more nor less probable that the other occurs. For example:
1. The
event of getting a 6 the first time a die is rolled and the event of getting a
6 the second time are independent.
2. By
contrast, the event of getting a 6 the first time a die is rolled and the event
that the sum of the numbers seen on the first and second trials is 8 are not independent.
3. If two
cards are drawn with replacement from a deck of cards, the
event of drawing a red card on the first trial and that of drawing a red card
on the second trial are independent.
4. By
contrast, if two cards are drawn without replacement from a
deck of cards, the event of drawing a red card on the first trial and that of
drawing a red card on the second trial are again not independent.
Similarly, two random
variables are independent if the
conditional probability distribution of either given the observed value of the
other is the same as if the other's value had not been observed. The concept of
independence extends to dealing with collections of more than two events or
random variables.
In some instances, the term "independent" is replaced by
"statistically independent", "marginally independent",
or "absolutely independent".
Independent events
The standard
definition says:
Two events A and B are independent if and only if Pr(A ∩ B) = Pr(A)Pr(B).
Here A ∩ B is the intersection of A and B, that is, it is the event that
both events A and B occur.
More generally, any collection of
events-possibly more than just two of them-are mutually independent if
and only if for every finite subset A1, ..., An of
the collection we have
This is called the multiplication
rule for independent events. Notice that independence requires this
rule to hold for every subset of the collection; see for
a three-event example in which and
yet no two of the three events are pairwise independent.
In the theory of probability and statistics,
a Bernoulli trial is an experiment whose outcome is
random and can be either of two possible outcomes, "success" and
In practice it refers to a single experiment which can have one of two possible
outcomes. These events can be phrased into "yes or no" questions:
1. Did the
coin land heads?
2. Was the
newborn child a girl?
Therefore success and failure are labels
for outcomes, and should not be construed literally. Examples of Bernoulli
trials include
3. Flipping
a coin. In this context, obverse ("heads") conventionally denotes
success and reverse ("tails") denotes failure. A fair coin has the
probability of success 0.5 by definition.
4. Rolling
a die, where a six is "success" and everything else a
5. In
conducting a political opinion poll, choosing a voter at random to ascertain
whether that voter will vote "yes" in an upcoming referendum.
Independent repeated trials of an
experiment with two outcomes only are called Bernoulli trials. Call one of the
outcomes success and the other outcome failure. Let p be
the probability of success in a Bernoulli trial. Then the probability of
failure q is given by
q =
1 − p.
A binomial experiment consisting of a
fixed number n of trials, each with a probability of success p, is
denoted by B(n,p). The probability of k success
in the experiment B(n,p) is
given by:
The function P(k) for for B(n,p) is
called a binomial distribution. (Our solved example in mathguru.com uses this concept)
Bernoulli trials may also lead to negative
binomial, geometric, and other distributions as well.
