Sustainable development is largely about people, their well-being, and equity in their relationships with each other, in a context where nature-society imbalances can threaten economic and social stability. Because climate change, its drivers, its impacts and its policy responses will interact with economic production and services, human settlements and human societies, climate change is likely to be a significant factor in the sustainable development of many areas (e.g., Downing, 2002). Simply stated, climate change has the potential to affect many aspects of human development, positively or negatively, depending on the geographic location, the economic sector, and the level of economic and social development already attained (e.g., regarding particular vulnerabilities of the poor, see Dow and Wilbanks, 2003). Because settlements and industry are often focal points for both mitigation and adaptation policy-making and action, these interactions are likely to be at the heart of many kinds of development-oriented responses to concerns about climate change.
In most cases, with the Arctic being a notable exception (ACIA, 2004), these connections between climate change and sustainable development will only begin to emerge in the next decade or two (e.g., during the period embraced by the Millennium Development Goals) as a result of significant impacts that can be attributed to climate change. But industry, settlements and societies will be important foci of mitigation actions and adaptations involving land uses and capital investments with relatively long lifetimes. In the meantime, however, actions that address challenges of climate variability, including extreme events, contribute to environmental risk management as well as reducing possible impacts of climate change.
The most serious issues for sustainable development associated with climate-change impacts on the subjects of this chapter are: (a) threats to vulnerable regions and localities from gradual ecological changes leading to impact thresholds and extreme events that could disrupt the sustainability of societies and cultures, with particular attention to coastal areas in current storm tracks and to economies and societies in polar areas, dry land areas and low-lying islands, and (b) threats to fragile social and environmental systems, both from abrupt climate changes and thresholds associated with more gradual climate changes that would exceed the adaptive capacities of affected sectors, locations and societies. Examples include effects on resource supply for urban and industrial growth and waste management (e.g., flooding). As a very general rule, sensitivities of more-developed economies to the implications of climate change are less than in developing economies; but effects of crossing thresholds of sustainability could be especially large in developed economies whose structures are relatively rigid rather than adaptable. In the case of either developed or developing countries, social system inertia may delay adaptive responses when experienced climate change is gradual and moderate.
In general, however, climate change is an issue for sustainable development mainly as one of many sources of possible stress (e.g., O'Brien and Leichenko, 2000, 2003; Wilbanks, 2003b). Its significance lies primarily in its interactions with other stresses and stress-related thresholds, such as population growth and redistribution, social and political instability, and poverty and inequity. In the longer run, climate change is likely to affect sustainable development by reshaping the world map of comparative advantage which, in a globalising economy, will support sustainable development in some areas but endanger it in others, especially in areas with limited capacities to adapt. Underlying such questions, of course, are the magnitude and pace of climate change. Most human activities and societies can adapt given information, time and resources, which suggests that actions which moderate the rate of climate change are likely to reduce the negative effects of climate change on sustainable development (Wilbanks, 2003b).
At the same time, development paths may increase or decrease vulnerabilities to climate-change impacts. For instance, development that intensifies land use in areas vulnerable to extreme weather events or sea-level rise adds to risks of climate-change impacts. Another example is development that moves an economy and society toward specialisation in a single economic activity if that activity is climate-sensitive; development that is more diversified is likely to be less risky. In many cases, actions that increase resilience of industry, settlements and society to climate change will also contribute to development with or without climate change by reducing vulnerabilities to climate variation and increasing capacities to cope with other stresses and uncertainties (Wilbanks, 2003b).
Impacts of climate change on development paths also include impacts of climate-change response policies, which can affect a wide range of development-related choices, from energy sources and costs to industrial competitiveness to patterns of tourism. Areas and sectors most heavily dependent on fossil fuels are especially likely to be affected economically, often calling for adaptation strategies that may in some cases require assistance with capacity building, technological development and transition financing.

As I was growing up, one of the biggest topics brought up at the dinner table always involved work. Family members and friends bonded by talking about their jobs and the number of changes they experienced in their many years working for the same company. During interludes in conversation, the adults would always stress to me the importance of hard work, loyalty and finding success by working for the same company until retirement. While I carried the torch of hard work and dedication as I entered college, often burning countless candles studying and diligently grinding away at multiple jobs, I soon realized that following those three core values won't guarantee success. In fact, falling into the mindset of company loyalty and expecting to never be let go based on that merit alone is one of the biggest pitfalls a person can make in their professional career. Some employees also view themselves as indispensable assets, which is disingenuous at best. All employees are expendable and can be relieved of a position at any time.
Quick Navigation
Why employees aren't indispensable assets
As a disclaimer, while I believe that employees aren't indispensable assets based on the previous positions that I've held in the past five years, I implore any employee to work hard, be passionate about their profession and maintain loyalty to their company. Loyalty is a good thing; the idea that a company will never let an employee go because they are loyal is a harmful expectation to carry into the workplace.
Having said that, when a lot of people land a job that meets their current wants and needs they may become complacent. Some motivators to continue exceeding goals and surpassing key performance indicators include raises or vertical growth, but too often people feel satisfied and will perform the minimum work required to stand in the good graces of the company. Complacency is one of the easiest ways that employees lose relevance and competitiveness in their respective industries. The game is always changing as new staff are coming in with innovative ideas, comparable skills as well as a willingness to work at a lower salary than a seasoned employee.
Even if an employee isn't complacent and is effective in their job function, a company's overall health will always take precedence over the needs of the individual. If they can find and implement ways to hire cheaper labor with comparable performance, or outsource staff to save on their budget, departments and teams can and will be replaced. Sometimes companies need to downsize to cut back on costs, or no longer see the value of funding certain divisions. Many factors play into a company's decision-making that are sometimes out of an employee's control, marking the importance of never feeling comfortable and always striving for excellence as an individual in preparation for other opportunities.
Importance of staying competitive
The candidate pool is the most competitive it has ever been as workers gain a wide range of skills, management styles and knowledge from working different positions at different companies. In today's market it's uncommon to spend a majority of a career working for the same company in the same position. As Millennials will eventually constitute 75 percent of the workforce by 2025, only half of them plan on staying at the same company for longer than a year, according to a Gallup poll. It's necessary to stay ahead of the pack, rather than falling behind through complacency.
Employees aren't indispensable assets
At the end of the day, many bright, skilled and resourceful employees are being replaced every day. The cogs of a company will spin without them and they can be replaced by someone else at any given time. Employees need to move away from the thought that they are indispensable assets and shift their focus to making themselves diverse, skilled and competitive in their desired industry.

I was unable to resist ordering one of these new fangled cameras called the Lytro. It has a completely new type of light sensor which uses sophisticated algorithms that use the full light field to unleash new ways to make and view pictures. What's that mean? You can refocus a picture after it's taken.
It's a weird looking thing, most people do a double take when they see me using it. A few thought it was a kaleidoscope, someone asked if it was a telescope. It's really hard to get used to, and the viewfinder is only an inch square, which is just wrong in this day and age of camera phones and LCD viewers that are at least 3 inches wide.
Light field cameras offer astonishing capabilities. They allow both the picture taker and the viewer to focus pictures after they're snapped, shift their perspective of the scene, and even switch seamlessly between 2D and 3D views. With these amazing capabilities, pictures become interactive visual stories as never before seen – Lytro calls them living pictures.
This is the ocean in Pacific Grove where Mr. K and I went last weekend. You can click anywhere in the picture and it will refocus on the point that you click. Pretty slick, isn't it?
We checked out the Jellies Experience at the Monterey Bay Aquarium while we were there. It was really cool, although the aquarium was jam packed with people on the holiday weekend.
Sometimes nothing happens when you click on the picture, I think the servers at Lytro are still being ramped up. You can tell the software is processing correctly if you see a series of concentric squares where you click on the picture and it will refocus.
It's very cool in regards to photos of food. Consider this closeup of a delicious breadstick with a dollop of romesco sauce that we devoured at Casanova's in Carmel. You can click on the breadstick in front with the dip, or on the cup of breadsticks, or the little bowl of sauce and you get surprisingly well rounded perspective on that dish.
This is a very delicious scoop of Black Sesame ice cream that I enjoyed today at Humphrey Slocumbe in SF. Click on the ice cream, then click on the ice cream sign in the background.
you can focus on the krispy kreme donut in the foreground or the background.
or you can focus anywhere on the garlic parmesan cheesy topping on the fries at the Counter Burger in Walnut Creek that I enjoyed this week.
You can do the same with this photo of sushi we enjoyed at Roys Restaurant at the Inn at Spanish Bay last week. Fabulous salmon in the back, ahi in the middle, hamachi in the front. That was some amazingly fresh fish….
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce you to the new camera and features it offers. In the future any photos that have the Lytro logo on them are living photos that you can click on to change the focus. In the bottom right corner of the photo you can click to view an enlarged view of the photo that will open up a new browser window.

This is one of the most simple Asian side dishes I've come across. These 3 Ingredient Sesame Beansprouts are quick, easy and delicious yet only use 3 ingredients. This also makes a great low carb alternative to noodles.
This is a corker of a little side dish – I always get compliments on it, yet it is embarrassingly easy and requires only 3 ingredients. I also love that it uses up beansprouts as they are so cheap and easy to come by. Some might say they are the least liked veggie in the spectrum of Asian dishes, but not any more! I think they taste amazing when softened and pressed this way.
I've started serving this bean sprout dish on the side when I do stir-frys and noodle dishes. I think it just makes a nice change from having everything in one big pot. It just feels nicer to have a meal with components rather than all in one. Its nice to have choices on the plate! Anyway, I must admit that there is a big place in my heart for cooking one pot meals too. They make less mess, use less equipment, take less time, etc. So, it's a good thing that this side dish is so fast and easy, as you don't feel it is an extra hassle to make this to go on the side.
When I used to work at a busy singing school in London (I'm a singing teacher as well as a food blogger), the office manager Kirsty was a keen cook herself and particularly loved Korean food and cooking other Asian cuisines. She told me how to make this side dish and I've been making it regularly ever since.
This is a perfect quick accompaniment to grilled meat or fish, along with some simple rice. Try this amazing Korean BBQ Chicken and Sauce and serve these beansprouts on the side for a delicious high protein, low carb meal.
Here is the recipe for 3 Ingredient Sesame Beansprouts:
- 1 package bean sprouts
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Bring a salted pot of water to the boil and add the beansprouts. Cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
- Using your hands, squeeze the beansprouts until they release the water and become soft and packed together.
- Place in a bowl, add the soy and sesame oil and mix to combine.

I always feel like a girl in the candy store when I step into Christian Louboutin store located at Level 2 of Takashimaya.
Sexy heels! Red lacquered soles. Studs and bling. And plush carpeting and sofa for you to lounge around and enjoy a glass of refreshment…
The store at Takashimaya has shifted a few units away and is now bigger and boasts a wider collection of shoes. I had a tour around the store, admiring the latest Fall/Winter collection from the designer. It was quite a visual feast as Christian Louboutin extended on his signature opulent, dramatic style.
The signature studs are not going away, but this season they are back in candy colours!
Ombre crystal covered pumps with 120mm heels.
Velvet slippers inspired by the men's collection last season.
This is camo done right. The leather is treated with a metallic effect, creating a shimmery camouflage look.
The Viennana, a cabaret-inspired style that also comes with 120mm heels. Perfect for the glamourous year-end D&Ds.
I managed to catch a glimpse of the men's collection too and love these embroidered loafers. They are all hand-embroidered apparently, so these designs are available in very limited quantity.

Sculpture in Wire Mesh by
DAVID BEGBIE BA (hons), HDFA Slade, MRSS.
Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors
Internationally renowned sculptor David Begbie has worked almost exclusively with the human form throughout his career. Since his first pioneering solo show in London 1984 a whole new genre of steel-mesh art has emerged and continues to grow. He is the master of his medium and his work speaks for itself.
Master of Art Medium Wire MeshDrawing in Air – David Begbie transforms a light-weight steel or bronze wiremesh spectacularly into a dynamic three-dimensional figurative form.
His transparent sculpture in wiremesh is as much about light as it is about substance and he transforms his seemingly inanimate machined industrial material into dynamic and evocative sculptural forms.
A 'Begbie sculpture' is hand-crafted and never moulded – a unique semi-transparent artwork with its individual character, made of a single sheet of bronze or steel mesh.
Each wire sculpture is modelled using very own (self-made) tools and 'fixed' joining each wire intersection so that the artwork is robust and stable.
Each wire sculpture is modelled using very own (self-made) tools and 'fixed' joining each wire intersection so that the artwork is robust and stable.
Each wiremesh sculpture is an entity which has a far greater physical presence than any solid object could possibly have, because it has the power to suggest that it doesn't exist.
David Begbie
… Begbie is able to shape the human form with his hands to produce the illusion of rippling musculature. He makes it seem as sensitive and pliable as wax…
Edward Lucie-Smith
Shadow ProjectionThe introduction of lighting is an integral part of a particular composition and has the most remarkable result. The use of projected shadows creates an optical fusion of image and object.
Sculpture Choice
This website features examples of available sculpture from the artist's studio and gallery. Please enquire for further artwork at the studio letting us know your desired sculpture size and subject by e-mail and we'll provide photos, prices and details of a suitable wire-mesh sculpture and/or suggest a commission.
If you wonder how a contemporary "Begbie sculpture" looks in your environment, we offer to super-impose a sculpture suggestion into your photo - just share a snapshot by e-mail.
Gallery Contini Contemporary, UK and Italy:
"Masculinity and femininity, positive and negative, matter and antimatter, light and dark: The artist of the light and the shadow.
David Begbie transparent sculpture is as much about light as it is about substance. The introduction of strategic lighting creates optical compositions of line and form, and each transparent sculpture has a greater palpable presence than the space, which it occupies.
David Begbie is one of the most influent sculptor in England with solo shows in four continents, works being collected by many museums as well as an extensive list of public and private commissions."

"Bright Star" Shines on Bway w/terrific debut by Carmen Cusack
A tuneful, ORGINAL new musical is a very rare thing these days on Broadway, but "Bright Star" is just that. It is really a cause for jubilation. And comedian Steve Martin, of all people, is the power generator behind this welcome bluegrass musical marvel. Edie Brickell, a pop star singer/songwriter who was previously unknown to me, is his musical partner in crime here, and what a delight-filled evening of song they make!
I've always felt that a successful musical comedy should just be one wonderful song after the other after the other, and one so rarely sees that anymore on Broadway, but "Bright Star" is just that. The first four numbers alone are so strong and singable "If You Knew My Story", "She's Gone", "Bright Star" and "Back in the Day"are each so startling, memorable and different, I immediately wanted to rush out and buy the CD. Except since "Bright Star" just opened this past week, they don't have one yet. But they sure as will soon, and I'll let you know when that delightful event happens.
Other songs, too, including second act showstoppers, "Always Will" and "At Last" are also immediate standards-to-be I'm so sure.
And "Bright Star"s ace-in-the-hole is the astonishing Carmen Cusack, who sings nearly all these great songs with a country twang that verges on the operatic. She plays the dauntless heroine Alice Murphy, who, except for her rather trite name, is doubtless also going to be known as one of the greatest roles for an actress in musical comedy history.
Cusack has the daunting task of slipping backwards and forwards in time as her character ages back and forth between a hard-bitten literary editor and a plucky teenage un-wed mother with big dreams in a stultifying North Carolina town. It is put upon Cusack to take us through all these time shifts from 1945-1946 to 22 years earlier, and she does it so effortlessly, and so charmingly that she just made me gasp.
Yes, Carmen Cusack is doing the impossible embodying all these moods and ages that she for sure is now launched into the rarefied Broadway stratosphere as one of its' most important, as well as newest, diva-cum-star. Who did she remind me most of? A cross between Reba McIntire and Maria Callas. Her roof-raising voice is as rangy as any Puccini heroine.
She is ably abetted in her time-travelling tropes by leading men, Paul Alexander Nolan and also A.J. Shively, who plays a WWII vet with literary aspirations who gets to sing the wonderful, toe-tapping title song "Bright Star."
Broadway vet Michael Mulheren gets to shine, too, finally after a life-time of thankless supporting roles, as the dastardly mayor. Dee Hoty is wasted as our heroine's weak mother. Hannah Alless strikes the show's one false note as its' stereo-typed ingenue. Underwritten compared to the other female roles, what could anyone do with a part like that that is pure treacle?
Emily Padgett of "Side Show" fares much better as the tart comic relief and Jeff Blumenkrantz is her zesty, funny counterpart, the pair not missing one comic beat. Which one is more deliciously campy, it's hard to say. They both play imperious editorial employees of the mature Cusack's magazine.
And the uncanny scenic design by Eugene Lee consists of a house-full of bluegrass musicians, who move in the Southern Gothic A-frame that contains them, back and forth across the stage at a dizzying pace, under the Scene Design Supervision of Edward Pierce that is as lively a choreographic move as the more subdued, but fun ones created by Josh Roberts.
All this is under the redoubtable direction of Walter Bobbie and "Bright Star" hums and purrs and jingle-jangles its' gentle way into our cynical New York hearts and may indeed have found a permanent place there at the Cort Theater on W.48th Street for a long, long time.

We are aware of mouse scrolling problems and working on it.
We implemented anti-aliasing for minimizing the distortion artifacts. You can turn it off in Settings->Interface

Actually, the Mac OS X version has numerous problems, including random image jumping, reference point highlighting which doesn't line up with the object reference points. This version has become unusable. Can you provide a link to a slightly older version?

EVENT: Women's Sportbike Rally VIII presented by Draggin' Jeans
SLOGAN: It's all about the curves!
DATE: September 6-8, 2013
LOCATION: Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort, Tapaco, NC
FUNDS RAISED: $2,000 for the for The Skin Cancer Foundation in memory of Tiffany "Sportbikegirl" Weirbach
The weekend brought with it some beautiful weather for riding, socializing, raising money for charity and having a blast (just check out our photos)! The weekend started out with
registration throughout the afternoon on Friday and to get the activities started, we began with the annual ladies group photo with bikes followed by the Sportbike Night sponsored by Schuberth. During dinner we brought the ladies together for a little "Meet ' n Greet" and sent the guys to hang out for a little bit together Riders ate sub sandwiches, met new friends, chatted, shared stories and set about planning their rides for Saturday. After dinner, there was the annual t-shirt toss, which has become a fun tradition for our Friday night. Unfortunately, time got away from us and we missed out on conducting the Sportbike
Challenges. (Don't worry it will be back next year and watch for some changes to it too). 😉
After the sun went down, many of the attendees then made a night run across the Dragon for a spectacular fireworks show put on by PJ's Parts.
Saturday morning was the traditional ladies group photo at the Deal's Gap sign. (A little bird told us that the vintage sign we used to take our picture in front of is being rebuilt so look for us to move back in front of that in 2014!)
After the photo, riders broke off into groups and headed out to enjoy the wonderful roads, scenery and camaraderie that exist in this area. Attendees are always encouraged to find a group that is a pace they are comfortable with riding and head out. Fortunately, we had another very safe year of riding by those who were affiliated with the rally.
Saturday evening brought us to the Sportbikegirl Pit Party sponsored by NPR Ducati. Attendees dined on chicken and beef tacos while chatting and waiting for the Super Silent Auction winners to be announced and also the very popular door prizes drawing. Thank you
again to everyone who donated to the silent auction and those who bid to help raise some extra funds.
The winning bidders were:
- Deals Gap Painting by Lyndse Rae Faba: Casey Benner
- Dragon Slayer Package: Susan Heinz
- Women's Sportbike Rally Package: Beulah Turner
- Handmade Afghan: Paige Pijanka
- Barber Motorsports Package: Beulah Turner
- Schuberth Helmet: Susan Heinz
Thank you to all our sponsors who made the door prize drawings another success. There were some really great prizes given away because of the great sponsorship and donations. From dinner and door prizes, we headed out to the parking lot for some "fiddy" racing. Several of our rally ladies participated. Always a fun time whether participating or watching.
The Super Rider Awards this year went to Amanda and Aaron Hopkins. Talk about some serious riding! They rode from Chicago to Deals Gap by way of Key West, Florida. Yes, you read that right. We don't have the exact mileage they tallied up, but we know they deserved it. They were their Yamaha R1s.
A HUGE thank you goes out to all who attended, everyone who helped starting with spreading the word about the rally all the way down to toting boxes, filling goodie bags or just being on hand for any help needed. Thank you to our photographers, Daniel Vessell and David Clay, for being behind the lens so that the ladies could be involved in the rally. Last but not least, thank you to all of our great sponsors. Mark your calendars for September 5-7, 2014 for our ninth annual event. Look for more details soon.

Should You Buy a New HDTV?
So you were an early HDTV adopter back in 2006, and now you're beginning to feel a little bit of—dare we say it—TV envy. With so many seemingly bigger and brighter high-definition televisions on the market, it's hard not to picture the market's best shedding its light in your living room. Step back and think sensibly, though: Is it a necessary purchase? When should you get a new HDTV?
Unsurprisingly, the decision comes down to your personal preferences and needs, though it helps to break down your reasoning before you take the plunge. Here are five things you should consider before you get a new HDTV:
Are you unhappy with your current picture quality? – Are you looking to replace your HDTV simply because it's "old," and you think whatever's out there will provide you with better picture quality? CNet writer Geoffrey Morrison has a simple piece of advice for HDTV shoppers: "As a general rule, if you bought a decent TV in the last few years, the new models will only look a little better. More than five years, and it gets harder to say."
Morrison goes on to state that measuring picture quality between HDTVs with numbers alone can be tricky, as manufacturers' "contrast ratio" specs tend to be fabrications, and even measurements from one review site to another can vary. Make things easy on yourself: Go into an electronics store and take a look at what's on display. Does the picture look sharper? Are you looking to update from 720p to 1080p? Then by all means, grab that new set.
Do you want 3D? – Many movie-goers will argue that 3D has worn out its welcome (again), but the "fad" doesn't seem to want to go away. 3D movies and video games (which are primarily supported through the PlayStation 3 console) can actually be a lot of fun for kids, so it might not be a bad idea to update your family entertainment center.
Do you want built-in internet streaming? – Even if your HDTV is only a couple of years old, it might be lacking the technology necessary to stream movies and other content directly to your set. If you're looking for a TV with built-in Internet technology and Wi-Fi support, you might consider upgrading—though it's not very hard to set up media streaming via your computer and/or game consoles.
Do you just want a bigger TV? – All right, just go ahead and admit it. You want that new 80-inch screen hanging on your living room wall. Congratulations: Admission is the first step to solving a problem. Now complete your treatment with some retail therapy. In fact, you can move your smaller set to a bedroom, or bequeath it on a child deserving of a reward.
Wait for holidays/other major sales – HDTVs can be fun impulse buys (at least until the credit card bill comes in), but reining in your compulsion and sitting tight isn't the worst idea. Major sales come and go, especially since HDTV technology is evolving briskly. Holding off for a mere month can net you hundreds of dollars in savings.

Fine Art Pictures Posted!
I've finally gotten pictures of the super fun fine art that has been gathering in my studio. I enlisted the assistance of my favorite local photographer, Sebastian.
This was a fun experiment for Sebastian and me both since neither of us has photographed fine art in a studio setting. What i've done in the past is find a nice spot of sunlight and I try desperately to keep my hand steady. This was a vast improvement for me!
Please if you get a chance check out my fine art tab for all of the lovely new picture of my artwork! If you are interested in purchasing and of the pieces don't hesitate to contact me, email@example.com. Enjoy!

Commentary: Pats Get One for the Thumb
By Danny Emerman (Online Editor-in-Chief).
Super Bowl 51 was a game of "greatests." The greatest quarterback and the greatest coach of all time teamed up to win arguably the greatest football game ever played to cap off the greatest sports year ever.
"Two years ago we won our fourth Super Bowl down in Arizona and I told our fans that was the sweetest one of all," Patriots owner Bob Kraft said after the game as commissioner Roger Goodell handed him the Lombardi Trophy.
"But a lot has transpired during the last two years, and I don't think that needs any explanation… This is unequivocally the sweetest," Kraft added.
A lot has transpired during the last two years.
An all-out witch-hunt coordinated by the commissioner, endless hours spent in the courtroom, a four-game suspension, unconfirmed Gisele/Brady divorce rumors, Galynn Brady's cancer diagnosis; Tom Brady and the Patriots organization have endured it all.
No, Kraft didn't smash the trophy over Goodell's head. Brady didn't spit on his shoes. Like always, they were all class and let the trophy speak for itself.
In the first ever Super Bowl that required more than four quarters to decide, numerous records—team and individual—were broken.
Brady's fifth Super Bowl ring and fourth MVP award cement him as the best quarterback to ever throw a football. He threw a record 62 pass attempts for a record 466 yards.
According to Sports Illustrated, When it was 28-3, Tom Brady Sr. sent this to a family group text: "This is gonna be the greatest comeback ever." He was right.
James White's 14 receptions broke a Super Bowl record and his three touchdowns made him the surprise hero of the game.
The game had everything imaginable: a failed wide-receiver pass trick play, a direct snap two-point conversion, a ridiculous Julio Jones tiptoe catch, a missed PAT, and even a fake kneel to end regulation.
Most memorably, star receiver Julian Edelman completed an impossible grab (deemed "The Immaculate Gritception" by internet personality PFT Commenter) on the Patriots' drive to send the game into overtime.
"One of the greatest catches I've ever seen," Brady said after the game. "I don't know how the hell he ever caught it."
As the Patriots, who scored 31 unanswered points to complete the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, showered in blue and red for the fifth time in 16 years, New England was in a state of collective shock.
After Tevin Coleman's six-yard touchdown reception with 8:31 remaining in the third quarter, the Patriots were mathematically doomed, down 28-3. No team had ever come back from more than 10 points in the Super Bowl.
"I felt like I got punched in the gut," senior Sam Bunis said. "I was a little bit hopeless, but there was a tiny, tiny glimmer that Tom Brady would do something special," he added.
That "tiny, tiny glimmer" of hope equated to a .5% win probability, according to ESPN.
Did the Patriots comeback, or did the Falcons choke? Why did the Falcons only run the ball four times with a 21 point lead?
Yet again, in the greatest sports city in the world, we get to say, "Cue the Duckboats."

An unexpected gift or perk from a business not only has the potential to make a customer's day, it also has the potential to turn them into a lifelong, loyal fan and brand advocate.
This is because brands who surprise and delight their customers often provide an exceptional customer experience in doing so.
Customers who have a good experience are not only likely to purchase more, but they'll tell their friends about it too. A study by American Express found that Americans tell an average of nine people about good customer experiences.
Therefore, surprise and delight can be an effective strategy to help reinforce your relationship with your customers, increase sales and even acquire new customers.
Identifying the Right Customer Segments
It's important not to blanket your entire customer base with a surprise and delight campaign. Not all customer segments are a good fit for these tactics. Mine your data and note trends to determine which audiences to target. Consider which segments would be most responsive to a campaign, and those who are most valuable to your brand.
Best practices suggest there are two segments which make an ideal fit for a surprise and delight campaign. Through analysis of loyalty program trends and behaviors, these segments can be better defined.
"Champions" or "Loyals" are already highly engaged and brand loyal. Surprise and delight campaigns should be applied to this segment in order to make efforts to retain these customers, reward them, and spur advocacy.
The "Persuadables" are responsive to marketing but require a little more nurturing. Surprise and delight campaigns should be applied to this segment in order to positively influence them to drive action and convert to engage beyond sales and become "Champions".
Different campaign objectives require different tactics, here's a guide to delivering the right surprise and delight tactics to each customer segment.
Surprise and Delight Tactics for Champions
These are your brand advocates. Campaigns targeting this segment would help companies increase spend or champion positive word-of-mouth.
- Exclusive rewards. To keep their customers buying their products or services, companies should mine their data to identify which customers are more engaged and spending the most money and reward them for doing so. Sending a surprise gift keeps brands top of mind and recipients active and happy.
- Experiential surprises. Every so often brands need to show their most loyal customers how much they appreciate them by offering an experience of luxury or convenience. Surprising your customer with an unexpected exclusive experience creates excitement and prompts them to spread the love for the brand.
- Personal gifts. Establish and reaffirm meaningful connections with your brand champions and demonstrate how important they are by surprising them with thoughtful gifts you know they'll enjoy based on the data you have on them.
Surprise and Delight Tactics for Persuadables
These customers could be persuaded to develop a stronger connection to the brand. Campaigns targeting this segment need to be around brand recognition and engagement in order to increase spend and brand loyalty.
- Re-engagement rewards. If a once loyal or active customer has become inactive, incentivize them with a gift or additional points to spark new activity. This unexpected gesture will help create a memorable experience and reconnect them to the brand.
- Perks that promote brand value. To further engage or reengage with consumers, some companies extend special perks that align with their brand values, e.g., the Hard Rock has offered hotel guests free access to a guitar and amp set for the duration of their stay. This reinforces an emotional connection with the recipients and helps build greater affinity for the brand.
- Milestones and birthdays. Use the data you collect on your customers to help build an emotional bond with them. Surprising them with a gift to commemorate a special occasion helps build better brand association and reminds them that you're there and you value them.
By defining surprise and delight objectives and targeting campaigns to the appropriate customer segments, companies have the opportunity to heighten customer experience and establish stronger brand connections. If executed effectively, to the right audience at the right time, companies can enjoy higher customer satisfaction rates, increased sales, expanded brand recognition and customer referrals.
It's important to also consider that brand loyalty requires constant nurturing to keep customer satisfaction at an all-time high and that a surprise and delight strategy should be part of an overarching loyalty marketing initiative. And just as the reasons to implement such tactics vary across brands, companies are best served to take a multi-pronged approach to such campaigns. By targeting the right customers at the right time with unexpected surprises, brands can reinforce greater loyalty and drive advocacy.

Grahame's work is going to form part of an exhibition at the British Academy during Literature Week, 11-17th May 2015. The illustrations above, The Young King and The Happy Prince, were produced for the Folio Society's edition of The Selfish Giant and Other Stories. See more about the exhibition here.
Grahame says: "In my imagination I created them as if Wilde were alive and would be looking at them, correcting proofs and commenting, so I tried to do something that Wilde would (hopefully) approve of. I also thought it might be fun to put Wilde himself into a couple of the illustrations. For me the story of The Happy Prince is Wilde's portrait of his own character."

Published at Wednesday, July 17th, 2019 - 03:40:37 AM. Bedding. By Fernand Genet.
Loft beds are beds that are raised high enough to fit other furniture under them. They are like bunk beds, only without the bottom bunk. Loft beds are great for saving space, and they add a unique style to your room.
Since the bed is generally the biggest piece of furniture in a bedroom, your dressing clearly sets the tone for the whole room. Whether you're looking for basic items such as flat or fitted sheets, duvet covers, valances and pillowcases, or extras like cushions and throws, quilts and comforters or drapes and hangings, there is a large choice. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of makes, colors, thread count and patterns and coordinate bedlinens and curtains to make it easy to put a pretty room together.

Hardly any other decorative article is as popular as the JBL jellyfish! That's why JBL is extending the range with more jellyfish and a fish. The animals can be attached to the glass with a suction cup and move with the water current.
The new jellyfish set JBL MotionDeco Medusa XL BLUE S+M contains 2 jellyfish figures in 4 x 10 cm and 6 x 11 cm. One jellyfish has a whitish, the other one a pinkish colour. The second new set contains a large jellyfish figure in yellow colour in the size of 10 x 21 cm. The new lionfish JBL MotionDeco Lionfish lionfisch is also very lifelike with a body length of 13 cm and has, just like the jellyfish, a phosphorescent glow in the dark effect.
Naturally all animals are made of non-toxic and water neutral silicone.

Molten Visuals is a test bed of sorts, putting into practice the vast knowledge I have gained in the past few years from work. It will host my personal projects, a blog, and other useful things. So please feel free to explore and see what I am capable of.
Molten Visuals is built on what I consider to be modern and best practices.
This site is designed with scaling in mind, that is being able to scale up or down depending on traffic. I never expect it to get big enough to require me to put any of these practices into use.
To help make this site easily scalable I've seperated out the services into seperate sub-domains. By doing this I can easily move services off to another cloud server that takes advantage of, say a load balancer.
Decoupling can either be a savior or a sin. My website is decoupled from its database and key-value stores. All content is accessed through a webservice to ensure that if I ever decide to change how things are implemented on the backend that the site will not be broken. This has its advantages, and disadvantages. For one it means thats if I do not secure my server properly it can easily be compromised.
From here I suggest checking out my projects page. MoltenCore is my first open source framework and is the cumulation of many years developing for iOS and in general. It is very robust and powerful. I think every developer should at least consider using it. If you wish to know more about me then you should visit my about page.

Your brand, your identity
July 13, 2017
It's tough to make an impact in any market and with the uncertainty swirling around in business at the moment post-Brexit and Trump, building, nurturing and loving your brand has never been more important.
So, if sales are a little stagnant, it's worth taking some time to consider how your customers perceive your business.
After all… Branding is what people say about you when you're not in the room.
So here are our top three tips to give your business branding a shot in the arm!
Try to think of your business as a brand and define your brand personality. Imagine your brand is a person, tricky but not impossible, then consider:
● What sort of person are you?
● What are your strengths?
● What do your clients like about you?
● How do you look?
● How do you sound?
Try and write down the words that best describe your brand personality and how your customers feel about it.
Why would you do this? Well, because people don't just buy from people, they like to buy from people they like, I know I do, so why wouldn't your customers?
Your target is to be the brand of choice for like-minded customers; customers that share and believe in your brand personality.
Now, quite a few of your competitors will be able to list very similar features and benefits to you, so what makes YOU so different?
Think about:
● How do you deliver your products and services?
● What do you believe in?
● Why do you do what you do?
● What is your deal-breaker?
You really want your brand values to make you stand out from the crowd, and attract and retain those like-minded customers you have identified when thinking about your brand personality.
List the things that really matter to you in the way you do business and why. Your brand values will attract like-minded people who will then engage with your brand, your business and you.
Colour is the first thing we notice ahead of anything else, before words, before icons and symbols. Colour is a very powerful tool to reinforce your brand personality and values.
Colours carry meaning of course, so be careful and remember what colours are associated with and what they symbolise.
The key is to choosing a colour palette that reflects your brand personality and values can also help attract your ideal customers. Sometimes this means conforming to the colours of a category but sometimes, of course, it means being totally different.
Building a brand isn't simple and like a rowdy toddler it needs some loving, some guidelines and occasionally an early night.
So if you'd like some help with your brand, wherever you are in your business journey, we'd be delighted to help.

Thigh-Changing, I Mean, Life-Changing
Recently, the Epicurious staffers gathered together to taste-test different brands of ice cream. I mentioned this to our creative director, Mark Jarecke, who revealed to me his latest passion--his new Cuisinart ice cream maker. That brought to my mind the question of whether I should finally buy an ice cream maker. I'd always resisted, assuming that I would suffer once again through the six stages of buying certain kitchen equipment:
1) Excitement upon its arrival
2) Trouble using it
3) Using it constantly
4) Experimenting with it
5) Getting bored with it
6) Placing it on the Unused Kitchen Equipment Shelf to gather dust until I give it away.
But I thought, I deserve it, and if I don't use it, I can donate it. So, I bought a Cuisinart for 50 bucks and Oh. My. Gosh. Why didn't someone tell me years ago how life-changing it is? I've had homemade ice cream at restaurants and parlors and know its icy, rich beauty, but there is nothing like throwing some milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and slices of peaches into a whirring frozen bowl and eating it 20 minutes later in your own home. I don't think I will leave stage 4 for a long time.
My new mission, which I magnanimously choose to accept, is that I'm going to try and make all of Epicurious's 708 ice cream recipes. Got any favorite Epi ice cream recipes for me?
