Connected Consumers Changing CE
Las Vegas - If you think your head is spinning dealing with the brave new world of connected electronics, consider the marketers who now have to sell products to newly empowered consumers carrying devices that keep them linked to the Internet at all times.
During the Brand Keynote Panel at the Hilton Theater, six high-ranking marketing executives gave their views of this sea change, how it impacts their companies and how it will affect consumers as the object of those marketing messages.
What was surprising is the fact there were no definitive answers to these questions. Realistically, one shouldn't expect them as an avalanche of new technology spreads across the globe, which is readily apparent at the 2012 International CES.
Moderator Michael Kassan pointed out that more marketers than ever are attending the show so they learn about the latest technologies and what it means for people selling everything from cars to Pop-Tarts. CES - which Unilever CMO Keith Wood said now means "Connecting Everyone Socially"- is the launch pad for these devices, and marketers need to understand the changes they'll bring in order to survive.
"Mobile is going to revolutionize retail - we've known this for decades," said Stephen Quinn, Walmart chief marketing officer. As he recalled how male customers would use their cellphones to get buying directions from their wives, to knowing chuckles from the crowd, Quinn stated how the move into the social space - with everyone posting on Facebook and other social media sites - would have a "massive impact" on retail.
"What we see at Facebook is that human behavior hasn't actually changed since Neolithic times. People lived in villages of about 150, the average number of friends on Facebook," said Carolyn Everson, global marketing solutions VP. "Technology is connecting us to people we know and those we don't know and within four degrees of separation you're connected to about a million people."
"We're seeing our customers are massively engaged in this," said Walmart's Quinn. The question for him was "how do we create an ecosystem around our joint objectives," with vendors. Along with cash register receipts Quinn watches other metrics. "We are watching our fan count on Facebook, using that as a real key metric."
Another issue raised was the growing amount of data posted to social-media sites. GE's Beth Comstock mused about who owns the data, what was its value and how marketers could use it to customize sales pitches to individual consumers.
One thing for sure was the growth of connected individuals. "The next billion people coming onto the Internet will be coming via mobile, not the desktop," said Keith Weed. "Technology is changing behavior and as marketer you're interested in how consumers behave, what they value, and how you can make their life experiences richer."
Since this is CES, Kassan queried the panelists as to what they considered their indispensible tech device. To a man, and woman, it was a smartphone.

KINGSPORT – Marsh Regional Blood Center, which supplies platelets to 22 medical facilities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, is experiencing a critical need for this blood product.
Director Don Campbell said the center has experienced an uptick in recent usage that has significantly decreased the platelets supply. He urged residents of the region to visit one of Marsh Regional's three donor centers – 102 E. Ravine Road, Kingsport; 1996 W. State St., Bristol; and 1 Professional Park Blvd., Suite 14, Johnson City – to boost the supply.
"We are fortunate to have solid support from residents in our area who have generously supplied platelets to meet the needs of our patients," Campbell said. "We periodically have a greater need for a variety of medical conditions that can cause our supply to drop. That has happened recently, and we are confident the residents of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia will respond to take care of the needs of their friends and neighbors."
Campbell said Marsh Regional's stock of whole blood is in good shape.
Platelets are the part of a person's blood that causes clotting, and patients with cancer, leukemia, aplastic anemia and other platelet-suppressing diseases frequently need them. The American Cancer Society said patients might need a platelets infusion if their bone marrow is not making enough of them.
In addition to serving the needs of cancer patients, platelets are used to assist with other medical conditions, such as open-heart surgeries and aortic aneurysms.
Because all donations to Marsh Regional stay in this region, all platelets are used for patients in local cancer centers and hospitals.
Platelet donations are especially important during the summer, as many regular donors go on vacation or are caught up in activities. However, the need for platelets does not slow down during this time of year. Also, platelets only have a shelf life of five days, making more donors necessary on a regular basis.
Unlike whole blood donations, which include red blood cells and plasma, platelets are collected through a process called apheresis. This method removes platelets from the body but leaves the other blood components intact. Because platelet donations only remove one component of blood, donors can give more frequently – a maximum of 24 times a year. Whole blood donors, however, can only donate once every two months.
To donate platelets, individuals must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. People with a cold, sore throat, fever, flu or fever blisters or who are taking antibiotics may not donate. Anyone who has taken aspirin in the last 72 hours is also ineligible.
Donors should eat a balanced meal before giving platelets.
Platelets donations occur by appointment. To schedule one, please call 423-224-5888 in Kingsport, 423-652-0014 in Bristol or 423-979-0574 in Johnson City.

During the first interview after reaching the 100-day milestone of his presidency, Donald Trump said he believed that he was the one who got China to stop manipulating its currency.
Speaking to CBS' John Dickerson on "Face the Nation," Trump said that China stopped manipulating its currency as soon as he came into office.
"When they talk about currency manipulation, and I did say I would call China, if they were, a currency manipulator, early in my tenure," Trump said. "And then I get there. Number one, they — as soon as I got elected, they stopped. They're not — it's not going down anymore, their currency."
Dickerson briefly interrupted to fact-check Trump, saying, "But that had been true before. That had been true ... during the campaign, sir."
"No, not true to the extent that we're talking about," Trump replied. "Much more important than that, as to when, but, you know, it did stop. And I was talking about it all during the campaign."
He added: "And I would say that I was the one that got them to stop. But forget that."
When Dickerson sought to clarify Trump's response, asking him if he meant that he was the one who got China to stop manipulating its currency, Trump said, "I think so."
While China has a history of pushing down its currency to drive up its exports, it hasn't done so in years. In fact, over the last few years, China has been propping up the yuan, not depressing it.
Trump also reiterated another key talking point he's made since tensions with North Korea have ratcheted up: labeling China a currency manipulator now may detract from the greater objective of cooperating with China to address the threat of North Korea.
"Can you imagine if I say [to China], 'Hey, by the way, how are you doing with North Korea? Also, we're going to announce that you're a currency manipulator tomorrow,'" Trump told Dickerson. "So the mainstream media never talks about that. They never say that. And that's, you know, unfortunate."

Join us on Sunday, February 24th 2013 at 7 PM for the first in a series of workshops on design for 3D Printing!
I will explain principles and considerations for the design of a 3D print. No previous 3D printing experience is required as we build a foundation of knowledge for designing models with intent of printing them in plastic on a 3D printer.
3D Printing has made its way to the consumer-level and the significance of this technology is changing the way we think about commerce, consumption, production, hacking, repair and design.
It's not just for prototypes anymore! With 3D printers dropping in price and improving in print quality, countless people are using 3D printing to create everything from works of art to toys and models; robotic linkages and prosthetic limbs to wall hangars and switch covers. But like all technologies, to get what you want, you need to give the machine what it needs.
In the case of 3D printing, you need to provide the machine with a clean, feasible model to print. 3D printing has its limitations like all manufacturing processes do and you need to know what those are if you want to have consistently successful 3D prints.
This first workshop covers a brief history of the technology, the mechanics of a 3D printer and the physical limitations, quirks and (mis)behaviors of 3D printing with plastic. By the end, 3D printing should be a whole lot less mysterious or intimidating and you can move on to using design software to bring your ideas to life!
The workshop rate ($50) includes 2 hours of instruction. Call (206-357-9406) or come down to the shop to sign up. Space is limited.
No supplies are required but taking notes is recommended. If you have an idea of something you are wanting to print, bring it up and we can break it down to determine the ways to make it printable!
Feel free to look at some of my designs and the designs of others on the "Thingiverse" website to get a feel for the kinds of ideas and designs people are coming up with!
See you soon!
Brent J. Rosenburgh
(a.k.a. Erik J. Durwood II)

On April 7th, 2015 All American Containers Pacific Coast in Windsor, California was certified as a Sonoma County Green Business. All American Containers recognized the need for businesses to be more environmentally responsible, and their team worked hard to identify ways to conserve water and energy through a multitude of different means. Recycling efforts were expanded to decrease landfill waste, and delivery routes are now strategically planned to reduce fuel and carbon emissions. A sustainability policy was even developed by AAC to ensure business with vendors identified as "most sustainable" is maximized. Dishes and utensils are re-used, and water bottles are refilled from a water cooler. To further reduce their environmental impact, the company has also switched to electronic billing and relies exclusively on solar power for their energy needs. By making these calculated changes, AAC has managed to create a "green business" that will ensure a better world for generations to come.

It's Asparagus season aplenty--- they're a major key player on bbq grills, restaurant menus and stir frys at my house lately... While I'm on the subject of Detoxing, Asparagus is a great Detox veggie due to its high levels of potassium (known to reduce belly fat) and fiber (which cleans out the digestive system).This perennial also has wonderful anti-aging properties, and due to its levels of folate, Asparagus reduces inflammation and pain, prevents osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and birth defects. Not to mention, its also an aphrodisiac! Here's a refreshing, cool Spring-night soup to dine on:
Asparagus Cream Soup 1 big bunch Asparagus (about 10-12 stalks) cut in half 2 small Organic Potatoes Juice of 1/2 Lemon 1/3 cup Coconut Milk 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 2 teaspoons Thyme 2 teaspoons Black Pepper 1/2 inch Ginger 1-2 cloves Garlic 1 small Shallot or 1/3 Onion 1 tablespoon Organic Miso (optional-- I like this as a salt sub; also it adds richness and tastiness)
Firstly, boil potatoes, garlic, ginger and onions in water until potatoes get soft- about 8-10 minutes. Add in Thyme and Pepper, and Salt to taste. Throw in Asparagus, cover with lid and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer boiled goods in a food processor, adding in Coconut milk and lemon- and puree until creamy. Add in broth from mixture to thin out and achieve desired consistency. Garnish with parsley. The soup keeps well, so feel free to make more for lunch tomorrow!

Staminon review.Sexual matters play a huge part in every relationships. Good sexual performance is very essential to keep your partner happy and satisfied. If you have poor sexual performance, then no matter how good your relationship was, it will deteriorate eventually.
But having poor sexual performance isn't necessarily your fault. There are many factors which contribute to it. Bad diet, pollution, mental stress and many other things can reduce your sexual drive. In order to improve, you can leave your bad habits like drinking and smoking but the results are very slow. So how about a fully natural solution to boost up your sexual performance quickly? We have just the right thing then. It's called the Staminon Male Enhancement. Let's have a look at it.
What is Staminon Male Enhancement?
The Staminon Male Enhancement is a supplement made from fully natural formula and ingredients which promises to boost up your sexual performance within days. It has very strong aphrodisiac properties which can boost sexual performance without causing any side effects and long term dependency. Taking it regularly will rapidly improve your sexual performance.
2 key ingredients of Staminon Male Enhancement
The Staminon Male Enhancement is made from fully natural ingredients. All the ingredients of it are well researched and fully tested. But there are 2 core ingredients of Staminon which makes it what it is. Let's have a look.
1. Horny Goat Weed
This ingredient can block the production of enzymes which block the blood circulation. As a result, it enhances the blood circulation. The enhanced blood circulation has a lot of sexual benefits such as curing premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
2. Tongkat Ali
This ingredient contains Glycoproteins which increases the production of testosterone. Testosterone is the ultimate hormone which makes us men. So increased production of it will naturally improve sexual performance. The Glycoproteins also fight against fatigue.
Benefits of Staminon Male Enhancement
There are a range of amazing benefits of the Staminon Male Enhancement. The main benefit is the reduction and eradication of sexual problems. Let's have a look at them.
1. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common health disorders. 1 out of every 3 men has it. In order to cure it, the Staminon causes a phenomenon which causes pur blood cells to expand and hold more blood and nutrients. It's called vasodilation. When this phenomenon happens in the penile tissues, the size of the penis increases and it can hold more blood for longer time. It makes erections more long lasting and intense.
2. Premature ejaculation is another common sexual problem. To get rid of it, we need to have control over ejaculation which involves the activation of a maximum number of penile cells. Staminon stimulates our brains to enhance the blood circulation towards the penile region. More blood activates more number of penile cells enabling you to take control over your ejaculation.
3. Low sperm count is known as impotency. To tackle this problem, staminon improves the testosterone levels which increases sperm count instantly. Sperm count is directly proportional to the testosterone levels and Staminon takes care of it.
Other than these 3, the Staminon Male Enhancements offers some more secondary benefits. They're the following.
- – Increased libido
- – Intense and long lasting erections
- – Improved length and girth of the penis
- – Accelerates the gains of muscles and strength which increases the sex appeal
- – Improved sexual endurance
- – Increased stamina and energy for long time sex
- – Enhances the penile sensitivity
The Final Verdict
The Staminon Male Enhancement could be the ultimate solution to your every sexual problems. The formula is top class and the ingredients are fully natural and tested. Moreover, you get a free trial promotional offer where you only need to pay the shipping and handling costs but nothing else. So there's absolutely no risks. So order now and say goodbye to all the frustrations for poor sexual performance forever.

What Do Jewish-American Writers Need (and I Mean Really Need)?
By SANFORD PINSKER
Answer: They need great
readers, in the way Walt Whitman meant when he pointed out that "to have
great poets, there must be great audiences." Granted, Whitman was talking about
poetry, and more important, about himself, but his idea applies to our Chosen
scribblers as well.

Regardless of whether one is a Miami Dolphins or NFL fan, the recent investigation by the NFL regarding allegations of bullying involving Jonathan Martin may tell a precautionary tale for all employers. Briefly, Martin left the Dolphins in the middle of the 2013 NFL season, claiming that he had been a victim of bullying by teammates, including but not limited to text messages and other communications using the "N-word." The alleged primary "bully' (Richie Incognito) has been suspended by the Dolphins during the pendency of the investigation.
While efforts in Connecticut at passing legislation specifically prohibiting workplace bullying have been unsuccessful, employers should not be blasé about addressing such claims of inappropriate behavior in the workplace. For example, in the Martin matter, the alleged bullying involved racially charged and offensive language. If such alleged conduct was to occur in one's workplace, such conduct would clearly have to be addressed via the employer's requisite equal employment and anti-discrimination/anti-harassment policies; the failure to appropriately investigate and (if necessary) remediate will expose the employer to claims of violations of state and federal race discrimination laws, including claims of a "hostile work environment." Indeed, where there is a link between the alleged bullying behavior and the alleged victim's membership in a protected class (for example, race, gender, age, religion, disability status), bullying will lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, especially where such bullying creates a hostile work environment. In addition, the employer may face liability if the bullying is viewed as a response to an employee's actions taken as a "whistleblower."
While (in light of the above-mentioned inaction by the Connecticut legislature) there is no generic action for workplace bullying divorced of a connection to allegations of discrimination or harassment against a member of a protected class (or a whistleblower), the failure of an employer to respond to allegations of bullying or related workplace conduct may still lead to legal liability. For example, one could assert that the failure by an employer to respond to bullying in the workplace may constitute a tortious action, for example, constituting intentional infliction of emotional distress. In addition, bullying that leads to physical injury could lead to tort or workers' compensation claims. Of course, not only the employer but also the alleged "bully" may be the subject of legal action; however, the employer will be viewed as the deeper pocket.
In this context, employers should ensure that all appropriate policies regarding employee conduct are implemented and enforced. Claims of bullying or related conduct should be investigated thoroughly and promptly, consistent with the employer's policies. Indeed, it is worthwhile noting that there could be an obligation to investigate and remediate bullying and harassment even in the absence of formal complaint by an individual. Please note: of course, any investigation into misconduct must be accomplished in a way that protects the rights of both the alleged victim and the accused.

One of the first things we are often asked is "Why buy a custom dress" While the answers are many and vary greatly for each bride, we thought it would be worth sharing a few of the most common reasons.
Reason #1 "The no one has what I want bride"
Many brides know exactly what they want and have searched every store for "the perfect dress" but inevitably they either leave frustrated or settle for "close enough". Because we start from scratch with every dress, our brides don't have to settle!
Reason #2 "The none of the dresses fit bride"
Lets be honest. The dresses off the rack are made for a "standard size" person and I have yet to ever meet one of those off the runway. This leads most brides to spend almost as much as the dress itself on alterations. We custom build every dress pattern to the bride's exact measurements to ensure an impeccable fit from the beginning!
Reason #3 "The I want something unique bride"
Some brides just don't want to wear #24,324 out of a lot of 100,000 identical dresses. We get that, which is why we make every bride's dress exclusively for them. So dream big!! We love creating unique, one-of-a-kind dresses that are as special as the bride that wears them!
