About the Bose® Soundbar 700
Built to impress
Built to impress
It can be hard to make a sound bar that stands out from the crowd, but that was Bose's aim with the Soundbar 700. In their own words, it's "designed to be the world's best soundbar." That's a bold statement, so you can bet I was excited to try this one out. Spoiler alert: I loved it.
The contextual remote only illuminated the buttons I needed to control the music I was playing over Bluetooth. So cool!
Sleek and solid
The Soundbar 700 makes a good impression before you even plug it in. It feels very well-built, and the metal grille and tempered glass top are lovely. Even the remote control is a thing of beauty with its soft-touch exterior and contextual buttons (that means the remote only lights up the buttons you need for the task at hand).
But how did it sound?
I really wanted to put the Soundbar 700 through its paces so my test movie was Thor: Ragnarok. When Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" kicked in near the beginning of the film, I knew this sound bar would not disappoint. I was impressed with the depth and clarity it brought to both the movie effects and the soundtrack music.
Built-in voice control
Want your sound bar to tell you a joke, provide a weather forecast, or just turn up the volume on your favorite song? No problem. The Soundbar 700 has Amazon Alexa built right in, with a custom-designed eight-microphone array so Alexa can hear you no matter how loud your music is. The light bar on the front makes it easy to see when Alexa is listening, thinking, or speaking.
Music (pretty much any way you want it)
The Soundbar 700 has built-in Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® for practically endless wireless music options. Apple® AirPlay® 2 functionality is planned for early 2019. But in the meantime, dip your toe in the waters of whole-home audio with the Bose Music App. You can wirelessly stream online music services like Pandora® and Spotify® to your sound bar. Expand your system into other rooms by picking up a Bose Home Speaker 500 or two. You can group and control all your Bose smart speakers from the same app.
Surround yourself
Want an even more immersive experience? Add a pair of Bose wireless Surround Speakers or Surround Speakers 700. These compact speakers work seamlessly with this system to deliver complete wraparound sound effects. Bose also offers the optional wireless Bass Module 700 — the most powerful one they've ever made. It communicates wirelessly with the sound bar to add oomph to everything from action movies to dance mixes.

Great Quality Sound
eddie from Coral Springs, FL on 7/14/2019
This soundbar has really surpassed my expectations. The quality of the sound is just breathtaking for such small product. Highly recommend it to anyone who truly loves listening to music and watching movies. It also has a very modern look. It just looks awesome in my living room. I ordered it in white and it looks great in my living room.
Pros: Looks modern , easy to set up and exceptional sound.
Cons: The instructions can be a bit simpler . Finally I was able to set it up using the bose app with my phone.

Bose 700" The Worlds Greatest Soundbar"
Merald from Washingtonville, NY on 4/23/2019
I've had the Bose 700 soundbar and subwoofer for 2 months now and it is amazing! With the calibration the sound is great all over my home. I was worried that it wouldn't sound like a $1500 system but I am getting my money's worth. Movies sound like the theater and music fills the room. The subwoofer is great it's not overbearing and powerful. I would definitely recommend the Bose 700. I should have this for many years.
Pros: Not just great for movies but excellent for music
Cons: None

Bose Soundbar 700
Crutchfield customer from Bayville, NY on 12/5/2018
I am really thrilled with the Bose Soundbar 700. I do not understand others who provide negative ratings based upon a comparison to a component system. For a soundbar, this is where its at and if music and fidelity matter to you, this is worth the investment. People seem to be caught up on the features offered by competitor brands (dolby atmos, dts x) etc but in my opinion sound quality must come first (and the Bose delivers). In any event, I tested other atmos-soundbars and wasn't too impressed with that technology anyway. I purchased the Bose Soundbar and matching 700 Base module. For music, it is superb. Vocals are clear, it has a wide image, it handles mids and highs with clarity and the base module delivers just the right amount of low end. For example, listening to Diana Krall's Peel Me a Grape (Love Scenes), you can feel the bass chord. The same applies to movies. The set up is very immersive and doesnt leave me feeling any need for atmos - certainly not at the expense of sound quality. I have not added the rear speakers yet. I have heard that the difference is night and day for movies. I pursued a soundbar for a variety of reasons, one of which is aesthetics. My bose setup is in my family room (17 by 20) that we use for a primary living space. the family room is an open floor plan and extends into an equally sized kitchen. I can say, unequivocally, that this soundbar handles the space. You will not regret your decision to get the
Pros: wide, crisp and immersive soundstage
Cons: initial connections are finicky but after it's done, it's worth the endeavor. Also, I have mine connected to a Sony x900f TV and for some reason I need both the HDMI and the optical cables connected for the Bose to operate with stability.

Great Soundbar!!!
Dave from Lubbock, TX on 11/6/2018
Soundbar??? When we talk about soundbars we tend to think of something designed for our TV only and built to provide better sound, mainly dialog. Not the case with the Bose Soundbar 700, the clear crisp sounds with thumping deep rich base surpasses most high-end stereo systems, makes an incredible sound system for listening to your favorite music or watching TV! Top the incredible sound of the Bose Soundbar 700 with the integration of the built-in Alexa and you have a very versatile system with exceptional looks! Gets even better, hook the Bose Soundbar 700 and the Bose Wireless Surround Speakers to your TV and you'll have spectacular sound from your movies, flybys that will make you duck and roars that will make you jump. Very elegant system with looks that are only exceeded by the great sound. Living in a dusty area the glass top of the Soundbar 700 is a big improvement over the Bose SoundTouch 130 system which has the mesh metal top. Add in the Bose Base Module 700 (which we don't have) and we can only imagine the additional base sound. Setup: Instruction are like a lot of instructions. Read some of the reviews on the Bose internet site as this will give you some good information when setting up. I read a review that talked about how long it took the Soundbar to download updates once they were connected to the internet using the Bose Music App, so I was prepared, however, if I had not read that review I might have been concerned with the App not finding the
Pros: Simple system, elegant design, appears very well made, and is fairly easy to set up. The sound is incredible, from clear sharp highs to deep rich solid base.
Cons: Be sure to read some of the reviews, this will help you with the set up. Could not download the Bose Music App to our Amazon fire tablet(s).

Not ready for primetime.
Rich from New York, NY on 10/14/2018
Good sound but this soundbar is not ready for primetime. The soundbar sounds good with a wide sound field and crisp highs, but lacks any lows and really needs the subwoofer to add depth. The biggest issue I have is the Alexa integration. Currently, as of mid-October, it doesn't support some major features of Alexa, (i.e. Spotify, routines, multi room audio). Also, Bose has somehow forgotten to include some of the basics of Alexa like Echo Spatial Perception where now the Bose hears you from the other-side of the house and takes over commands from the alexa you are 2 feet from. I know most of this can be fixed through software updates, but its a frustrating step backwards for the entire home automation and entertainment, and I have no idea when Bose will release these fixes.
Pros: Wide Sound Field Easy setup and install Using Dialog mode in the app helps sports games.
Cons: Alexa integration is poor. Bose App is confusing Needs subwoofer and maybe rears to have amazing sound.

Active Soundbar Speaker
Wireless Multiroom Audio
Active Soundbar Speaker
Bose Premium Sound: The Bose Soundbar 700 utilizes a proprietary DSP-controlled amplifier and custom-designed low-profile transducers to deliver exceptional detail and depth with crystal clear dialogue. Proprietary PhaseGuide technology works with the tiny transducers to direct beams of multi-directional sound, delivering an unprecedented level of spaciousness. QuietPort technology is integrated into the soundbar with recessed ports that use a piece of resistant screen to reduce turbulent noise while getting more sound through a smaller opening, resulting in virtually distortion-free bass from a slim profile speaker.
ADAPTiQ Audio Room Calibration: ADAPTiQ audio room calibration will optimize the Bose Soundbar 700's acoustic performance for the unique characteristics of your room, giving you the best possible listening experience. Through the Bose Music App and the included headset, ADAPTiQ audio calibration customizes the sound of the system to the acoustics of your listening area by taking five audio measurements. During ADAPTiQ audio calibration, a microphone on the top of the ADAPTiQ headset measures the sound characteristics of your room to determine optimal sound quality. To run ADAPTiQ, you will need 10 minutes when your room is quiet.
Note: If you later connect an optional bass module or surround speakers, move the soundbar or move any furniture, run ADAPTiQ audio calibration again to ensure optimal sound quality.
Optional Wireless Surround: The Bose Soundbar 700 supports wireless rear speakers and a wireless bass module from Bose (both sold separately).
- Bass Module: The Bose Bass Module 700 (sold separately) adds deep, thunderous bass to the Bose Soundbar 700. It connects wirelessly to the soundbar speaker and has a wireless range of approximately 30'. Its compact, cube design fits well in any room. The Base Module 700 can be placed almost anywhere in your room, but placing it on the same wall as the soundbar will provide the best performance. The wireless sub will require AC power. There is also a mono-minijack output on the back of the Bose Soundbar 700, if you prefer to make a hardwired connection to the Bose Bass Module 700.
- Surround Speakers: For a fully immersive sound experience, add the Bose Surround Speakers or the Bose 700 Surround Speakers (both sold separately) to the Bose Soundbar 700. With a wireless range of about 30' and standing less than 4" high, these wireless surround speakers blend nicely into your room. The speakers should be placed behind the main listening area, one on the left side and one on the right of the room, for optimum sound quality. Both speakers will require AC power.
HDMI ARC Jack: The Bose Soundbar 700 is equipped with a single HDMI ARC jack to connect the soundbar to your TV's HDMI ARC input. The HDMI ARC jack allows audio from your TV to be sent through the soundbar speaker. The unit supports Dolby Digital (up to 5.1ch), DTS (up to 5.1ch), and 2ch PCM audio.
Note: Some televisions will only pass 2ch PCM through the ARC-enabled HDMI input from devices connected to the TV via HDMI or analog, and will only pass Dolby Digital via the TV's built-in tuner, network apps, or USB.
Optical Digital Input: If your TV is not equipped with an HDMI ARC jack, the Bose Soundbar 700 also features an optical (toslink) digital input that supports 2ch PCM and 5.1ch Dolby Digital or DTS. This soundbar does not offer analog audio inputs.
Note: The digital optical output of many flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).
Remote Control: The Bose Soundbar 700 comes with a universal Bluetooth LE remote control and supports HDMI-CEC. You can also program 3rd party remotes (sold separately) to control the soundbar system.
- Universal Remote: The included universal Bluetooth LE remote control provides wireless operation of the soundbar speaker system without direct line of sight. You can also program the universal remote to control your TV, Blu-ray player, or cable/satellite box. The remote is designed sleek with a premium aluminum accent and seamless elastomer keypad that's soft to the touch. The remote's ingenious contextual backlighting only shows you buttons relevant to the task at hand. Whether you're listening to music or watching TV, the remote automatically adjusts itself to light up buttons you need in that very moment. The Bose Music app on your Apple iOS or Android device will be used to pair the universal remote with the Bose Soundbar 700.
- HDMI CEC: The soundbar is able to control HDMI-connected devices (such as your TV, Blu-ray Disc player, game console) over HDMI-CEC. HDMI-CEC allows you to turn on other devices and operate them with the soundbar remote without any programming. It also enables one-touch access to entertainment, enabling you to turn on multiple devices and select an input with one button press.
- 3rd Party IR Remotes: Because the Bose Soundbar 700 also supports IR commands, you can also program a third-party IR remote, such as your cable/satellite box or TV remote, to control the soundbar. Refer to your third-party remote owner's guide or website for instructions. Not all third-party remotes are compatible with the soundbar. The 3.5mm IR input on back of the Bose Soundbar 700 allows you to connect an IR extender (sold separately) in case the soundbar's IR receiver is obstructed from view.
Placement Options: The Bose Soundbar 700 uses the reflective surfaces of the room to deliver a spacious home theater experience. To ensure optimal audio performance, the soundbar should be placed equidistant from each side wall and directly in the "front-center" of the TV. No objects should be placed in front of the soundbar, nor should it be placed recessed inside a cabinet, as this would result in a limited sound stage. Also, nothing should be placed directly on either side of the Bose Soundbar 700 since there are side-firing transducers located on either side.
Optional Wall Bracket: The Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket (sold separately) has been designed specifically for the Bose Soundbar 700 and hangs the soundbar speaker horizontally above or below your flat-panel TV. A cable cover is included to help hide the HDMI and/or optical cable that is run from your TV to the Bose Soundbar 700 speaker. The Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket features high-quality steel construction and is available in a black or white finish.
AC Power: The Bose Soundbar 700 operates off of standard household current using the supplied 5' detachable AC power cord.
Wireless Multiroom Audio
Multiroom Audio: The Bose Soundbar 700 is part of a new family of Smart Home speakers and soundbars from Bose that can be used to create a wireless multiroom audio system over your home's WiFi network. You can start with one Bose Soundbar 700 and add more Bose Smart Home speakers and soundbars to create a wireless multiroom audio system in your home.
- Number of Audio Zones: You can create up to 4 audio zones. Each zone can be set to play the same audio source or set to play a different audio sources. You can also group different zones together.
- Compatible Multiroom Audio Sources: Internet radio, select online music services, and Bluetooth audio can be listened to on a single speaker or multiple speakers.
- Incompatible Multiroom Audio Sources: HDMI and the optical digital input do not support multiroom audio.
Note: The family of Bose Smart Home speakers and soundbars is not compatible with the family of Bose SoundTouch products.
Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Bose Soundbar 700 offers a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) connection to your home network. The Bose Soundbar 700 is equipped with an Ethernet R-J45 jack and built-in, dual-band (2.4/5GHz) WiFi (802.11 b/g/n). The system's network connection can be setup initially from the Bose Music app on your compatible Apple iOS or Android OS device.
Bose Music App: The Bose Music app (for Apple iOS 10.3+ and Android OS 5.1+) lets you set up and control compatible Bose smart speakers and soundbars from your Apple iOS or Android device. It works with one or many of the new Bose family of smart speakers and soundbars - including the Bose Home Speaker 300, Bose Home Speaker 500, Bose Soundbar 500, and Bose Soundbar 700. Using the app, your mobile device acts as a remote for the speaker. From the app, you can stream music, set and change presets, add music services, explore internet radio stations, configure Alexa and manage speaker settings.
- Music Control: The Bose Music app lets you browse and play the music you love from Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more from your Apple iOS or Android device. The Bose Music app also makes it easy to set your favorite playlists or stations as presets (up to 6 presets), so you can access them effortlessly.
- Multi-Room/Multi-Source: The Bose Music app lets you control one or multiple Bose Soundbar 700, Bose Soundbar 500, and Bose Soundbar 700 in your home. You can play the same music throughout your home or listen to different music in different areas.
- Audio Settings: The Bose Music app can be used to control volume level and adjust the speaker's Bass & Treble level.
- Multiple Users: The Bose Music app lets multiple users personalize their experience and control their content. One person can quickly access their Spotify playlist, while another easily listens to the latest podcast. Now it's simple for the whole household to enjoy their favorite music and more.
- Simple Setup: The Bose Music app also makes setup easy, walking you through each step. Simply download the Bose Music app on your device, plug in the speaker, and open the app to get started. The app will guide you through setting up your account on the speaker, adding your account information for your favorite music services, and adding Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to the product.
Voice Control with 8 Microphone Array: The integration of Alexa & Google Assistant with the Bose family of Smart Speakers will support the vast majority of Alexa & Google Assistant functionality; including music playback, control of smart home devices, setting timers and alarms, and general information requests. A custom-designed, proprietary 8 microphone array on the soundbar is precisely positioned for accurate near-field and far-field voice pickup. You can rest assured that the Bose Soundbar 700 will hear you even when there is a lot of noise in the background, your music is playing loud, or you are across the room.
- Music Control: Currently you can ask Alexa or Google to play music from Pandora, iHeartRadio, Deezer and TuneIn on a specific speaker, a group of speakers, or all speakers. Alexa voice control is also supported by Amazon Music and SiriusXM. Once your music is playing, you can also ask Alexa or Google "what is playing", "turn volume up or down", "skip to the next track", "go to the previous track", or "stop music".
- Smart Home Skills: Various Alexa & Google smart home device skills work through the Bose Soundbar 700, its built-in microphones and the integration of Alexa or Google Assistant. For example, you can ask Alexa or Google- "set my smart thermostat to 72 degrees" or "turn off the lights".
- News & Information: Use the Bose smart speaker to ask Alexa or Google about world & local news, traffic, weather, sports, and other topics or events.
- You can only use one digital assistant; you must choose between Alexa or Google (you cannot use both). There are certain Alexa & Google skills that the Bose Soundbar 700 does not support; such as Hands-Free Calling & Messaging. Alexa & Google Assistant is not available in all languages and countries.
- The use of a virtual assistant is optional; you can initiate music from the Bose Music app and other sources without using Alexa or Google. The option to enable Alexa or Google can be declined in setup and revisited at any time. You can also remove Alexa or Google from the speaker at any time via the settings menu of the Bose Music app. And when Alexa or Google is installed, the microphones may be turned off at any time with the microphone off button on the speaker.
- The microphones on the Bose Soundbar 700 may be turned off with a single tap of the microphone off button on the top of the speaker. This button completely cuts power to the microphones so Alexa or Goggle will not hear any commands. For security reasons, it is not possible to use a voice command or the Bose Music app to turn the microphones on or off; only a physical button press can control the microphones. When the microphones are off, this button will always be backlit with a red LED light.
Online Music Services: The Bose Soundbar 700 can play music directly from streaming music services over WiFi, controlled either by the Bose Music app (for Apple iOS and Android) or Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant through the built-in microphones. These music services can be controlled from the Bose Music App (for Apple iOS and Android) and Alexa or Google through the built-in mics. Basic playback functions such as Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track can be done from the included IR remote.
- TuneIn: TuneIn includes access to more than 100,000 free internet radio streams from all corners of the globe. Just select the TuneIn logo from the main Music menu and browse among the 100,000 stations neatly organized into popular categories and select a station that appeals to your mood.

You can even watch videos and movies from YouTube and Netflix on your compatible Apple iOS device or Mac computer with perfectly synced audio on the Bose Smart Home speaker system.
Note: AirPlay 2 does not support multiroom audio distribution via Bose Smart Home. Multiroom audio distribution can only be done with other AirPlay 2 compatible devices (sold separately).
Bluetooth Audio Streaming: With built-in Bluetooth, the Bose Home Speaker 500 can wirelessly play back stored music, music apps, and other audio content from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. You can pair eight Bluetooth source devices to the speaker, but only one can be actively connected and used for playback at a time. The included IR remote can be used to control basic playback (such as Play/Pause & Previous/Next track); Alexa or Google cannot be used to control Bluetooth audio sources.
- Bluetooth audio streaming can be done without utilizing WiFi, the Bose Music app, Google, or Alexa.
- The Bose Soundbar 700 does not support Bluetooth hands-free communication for making or answering phone calls.
Network Standby: The Bose Soundbar 700 transitions to Network Standby when audio has stopped and you have not pressed any buttons for 20 or more minutes. To wake the speaker from network standby, simply tap any button on the speaker, play/resume audio using your mobile device and the Bose Music app, or talk to Alexa.
Note: You can still access Alexa or Google Assistant in Network Standby as long as it is set up using the Bose Music app and the microphone is turned on.

When a story is true, not just in fact but in its connection to life as it really is, it becomes a source of life. We get carried along with gracious surprise, finding pieces of ourselves, and who God is for us. This fall we follow the story of Jacob, that conflicted and restless man who wrestled with God.
One of our favourite theologians, Abraham Heschel, teaches us that the Bible is more about God's search for us than our search for God. Jacob's story is proof of that concept. For what we see here, in vibrant detail, is how God chases Jacob, pursuing him through his wanderings and failures until at the end of his story we see him fully caught by grace. He realizes all that has happened: "[Jacob] worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff." (Gen 47:31)
This story has it all. The mystery of birth order, the stress of sibling rivalry, the common seeds of relational breakdown, the consequences of falsity, the hope of romance, the long years of labour, the burden of an unreconciled past, the glory of forgiveness, the life- changing effect of wrestling with God. It's all here.
Surprise! It's twins - Genesis 25:21-26
Even before Jacob and Esau are born their destinies seem predetermined. Their mother receives a message from God and even their names seem to describe the stories that will unfold in their lives. But if that's the case what does it means for us to engage with these ancient tales trusting that God is wiling to experience our journey alongside us, both the predictable and the unexpected?
Discussion Notes - Part 1
Birthrights - Genesis 25:27-34
So the boys grow up. One loves the outdoors and the other stays home near the tents. One is impulsive and brash and the other is crafty and opportunistic. Both have something to teach us.
Discussion Notes - Part 2
Hairy Arms - Genesis 27
Sometimes it feels like we need to take things into our own hands. But often when we do, and when we let loose our moral compass in the pursuit of what we think is 'good' we end up causing more damage than we imagined. God is interested in where we go. But God is equally interested in how we get there.
Discussion Notes - Part 3
On the Run - Genesis 28
The surprising thing about grace is that not only does often meet us in unexpected moments but that when it does it often speaks unexpected words. And here even as Jacob runs from his failures, his encounter with the divine is characterized by a scandalous grace and peace.
Discussion Notes - Part 4
7 (14) Year Wedding - Genesis 29
Just when Jacob is starting to get his life back on track things take a strange turn. And this time Jacob is one who gets cheated. What does it mean when our best intentions don't produce the kind of results we imagined. Is God any less near to us? * In the sermon Jeremy references a video about the #MeToo hashtag. You can find that video here.
Discussion Notes - Part 5
Face to Face - Genesis 31
Often times when we are deeply ashamed we attempt to cover our face. Sometimes even physically, more often by hiding behind a gift, or an email, or a gesture. However, somethings can only be done face to face and this is something Jacob will have to learn.
Discussion Notes - Part 6
Wrestling with God - Genesis 32
Well, this is it. The throwdown in Torah. The wrestling match between Jacob and YHWH. What a mysterious encounter as Jacob wrestles 'a man' but comes to know that somehow in the midst of his struggle he has encountered God directly.
Discussion Notes - Part 7
Reconciliation - Genesis 33
Everything comes full circle as Jacob and Esau stand face to face once again. But this time both men have become something very different than they were at the start of this story. There is growth and maturity and reoconcilaition to encounter in this final story of Jacob.

The solution to reactionary leadership
Once again, the Harvard Business Review encourages us to take up mindfulness. This time, their article explains how "Spending 10 minutes a day on Mindfulness Subtly Changes the Way You React to Everything."
They offer a number of tips which you should check out by following the link above, but here are two of them:
- Don't answer your emails first thing in the morning. It sets you in a reactionary mode. Instead, spend the first hour of your day, if possible, doing something that really takes advantage of your freshest time.
- Stop trying to multitask. Focus on one thing at a time. Dive in and give it everything. Then move on.

Fuselage Is Now In The Attic
Fly Baby.
I now have 2 airplanes in the attic and the Cessna 140 in the tent in the driveway. It had to come home eventually but I would have waited until the other 2 planes were back at the airport. It is a little crowded in the attic.
It is nice not to drive 20 miles when I need to measure something on the fuselage.

This is the story of the channel manager who about once a year changes jobs. In this business, people change logos often. Even more now with all the consolidation and layoffs. It's a joke at trade shows: "I'm here just to get your new business card."
The CM takes his rolodex with him. At each new gig, he emails the entire contact list. That's where I have the problem. Over the years, there have only been a few of these characters. One in particular was so bad at his job as a CM, he actually cost me a deal due to his lack of knowledge. He kept me on his list through two more companies despite my asking to be unsubscribed. At least I had interaction with this guy.
This week I get 3 emails from someone that I have not interacted with. He worked at a CLEC as the channel manager interfacing with master agents. He emailed one quote to me in 2013. Now, he emails me three times. I email him back. He says unsubscribe yourself.
This is why email marketing doesn't work well for people. Not because their inter-personal skills need improvement, but because they didn't ask permission. Seth Godin's book - Permission Marketing - was written in 1999. I am amazed how many people haven't read it.
I get asked by CMs on how to get attention. They know that an agent's day is filled with noise - especially email. Spamming a list with a generic message isn't one of them. [And use a test message to yourself for proofing before you email the list. Oh and A/B testing a headline or message is probably a good idea, too.]
The way I define a Brand is the 1K of space in someone's brain that is a collective of their experiences with you. For some people and companies that 1K will be blank. For others it may just be filled with a bad feeling. Remember Maya Angelou's famous quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." The best branding experiences involve emotion. Yet do you want to be remembered for pissing someone off (as I often am)?
If you are looking for a channel partner, start by asking permission.
If you are selling Hosted PBX, you might start by asking who they are currently using. In a recent informal survey of agents, some feedback I received included that "they were late to that game so we already had deeply rooted options" for Hosted Voice. But your job is to garner attention, then engage. You can't really do that without asking permission.
Unless you have a monopoly on a service or something pretty unique, spamming prospective partners isn't the way to go. Yes, you will get an open rate -- for a lot of reasons, few of which are what you want. Permission > Attention > Engagement

Replacement of laparoscopic total gastrectomy with laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for upper early gastric cancer
In accordance with the increased incidence of proximal early gastric cancer (EGC), particularly in Asian countries (1,2), the demand for proximal gastrectomy (PG) as a function-preserving surgery continues to escalate. Although PG offers numerous potential advantages in preserving the physiological function of the remnant stomach, a complicated reconstructive procedure is required to restructure the anti-reflux mechanism to prevent reflux esophagitis (3,4). Among the three main reconstruction methods, esophagogastrostomy (EG) is performed more often than double-tract reconstruction (DTR) and jejunal interposition (JI) (3,4); this is owing to its relative simplicity, although an optimal reconstructive procedure is yet to be established. With the recent advances in laparoscopic techniques and the expanded indications for laparoscopic gastrectomy for the treatment of proximal EGC, the number of reports of novel reconstructive procedures for laparoscopic PG (LPG) with EG has been rapidly increasing over the past few years (5-11). However, these reports have focused on technical aspects and surgical outcomes rather than on long-term quality of life (QOL), which remains unclear.
Recently, Nishigori et al. reported the institutional standardization of laparoscopic gastrectomy even for gastric cancer (GC) located in the upper third stomach; this is because of the advantages of LPG, unlike laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG), in preventing postoperative weight loss and in improving QOL in patients with stage I GC (12). In a single-institution retrospective comparative study, 42 patients with stage I GC underwent LTG followed by Roux-en-Y reconstruction with functional end-to-end esophagojejunal anastomosis (13), whereas to fix the distal esophagus to the gastric anterior wall, 20 GC patients underwent LPG followed by EG with a hand-sewn esophagogastric anastomosis and fundoplication using a knifeless endoscopic linear stapler (14). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of early complications between these two groups, anastomotic stricture more frequently occurred in the LPG group (25%) than in the LTG group (0%). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade ≥ B postoperative reflux gastritis based on the Los Angeles classification criteria between the two groups (5% and 2%, respectively), the percentage of weight loss at 12 months was lower in the LPG group than that in the LTG group (−10.7% vs. −16.3%, respectively). Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed that LPG was associated with less body weight loss (12). Patient responses to a questionnaire survey using the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale (PGSAS)-45, which was distributed >1 year after operation, showed that the incidences of diarrhea and dissatisfaction with symptoms were better with LPG than those with LTG. However, this survey was limited to 17 patients who underwent TG and 11 who underwent PG (12). There were three main limitations to this study: the retrospective design, small sample size, and only a single assessment time point in the questionnaire survey. Collectively, LPG for patients with proximal EGC offers several advantages over LTG, including less postoperative body weight loss, fewer diarrhea symptoms, and better QOL; however, anastomotic stricture occurred more frequently.
This study is of great value as the subjective symptoms were examined based on a patient-oriented survey using the PGSAS-45, which was designed to assess the severity of symptoms, living status, and QOL of the gastrectomized patients (15). Although many previous studies have mainly focused on body weight loss as an indicator of long-term nutritional status following LPG (3,4), Nishigori et al. successfully demonstrated that LPG is superior to LTG in terms of diarrhea and dissatisfaction with symptoms, and in maintaining body weight after operation. Overall, body weight loss after gastrectomy is induced by a reduction in gastric reservoir capacity and decrease in the number of various digestive hormones, including appetite hormone ghrelin, which lead to appetite loss, inadequate oral nutritional intake, alternation of intestinal flora, and increased peristalsis and diarrhea (3). Hence, further investigations with larger sample sizes using the study approach described by Nishigori et al. are warranted to clarify the association between postoperative body weight loss and QOL-related factors.
In contrast, the technical feasibility of LPG remains problematic. According to the results of a retrospective survey conducted by the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery, 19.7% of the patients developed LPG-associated postoperative complications with anastomotic stenosis being the most common at 6.5% (16). Particularly with LPG and EG reconstruction, anastomotic stricture is considered a major postoperative complication (range, 0–28.6%) (4-11). Nishigori et al. also reported that the anastomotic stricture occurred at a relatively high incidence of 25% although the rate of Clavien-Dindo grade III early complications was only 5% (12). The stricture itself directly induces dysphagia, chest discomfort, and eating disorders among other complications, resulting in deterioration in QOL. Additionally, our previous report demonstrated that anastomotic complications after laparoscopic gastrectomy, such as leakage and stricture, led to inferior long-term survival rates of patients with histologically proven T1 gastric adenocarcinoma (17). Hence, it may be necessary to overcome this high incidence of postoperative anastomotic stricture to further improve QOL and long-term survival.
Regarding the other essential issues directly related to QOL after LPG, Nishigori et al. reported that reflux esophagitis and grade ≥ B postoperative reflux esophagitis occurred in 5% of the patients in the LPG group (12). This result seems to be favorable as compared with a previous report on the incidence of these complications occurring at a rate of 12.5–30.8% after LPG and EG (4). This relatively low incidence may be due to restructuring of the artificial angle of His and fornix by fixation of the left side of the esophagus to the anterior gastric wall using a knifeless linear stapler (14). Conversely, grade A reflux esophagitis occurred in 20% of the patients. This finding suggests that this reconstruction method can potentially compromise QOL due to symptoms associated with reflux esophagitis. Recently, as an ideal reconstruction method to potentially reproduce the physiological anti-reflux mechanism, valvuloplastic EG (VEG) with a double flap technique (DFT) was developed (6-9). In this procedure, the distal esophagus and the site of anastomosis are implanted in the submucosal layer, and the anterior side of the anastomosis is completely covered by a seromuscular double flap. These structures and intragastric pressure generate a pressure gradient between the esophagus and stomach, substituting as a one-way valve (18). In fact, these studies demonstrated that the incidence of grade ≥ B reflux esophagitis was only 0–5% (6-9), although most included only small-scale, single-center experiences. However, this procedure requires complicated suturing and ligation. Additionally, the rate of anastomotic stricture reportedly is as high as 4.7–29.1%, particularly before attaining a learning plateau (6-9). Hence, the complexity and technical difficulty of VEG-DFT are obstacles to the standardization of this reconstructive procedure after LPG. Therefore, the technical difficulty and complexity of EG must be further improved.
LPG has great potential as a radical procedure for esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer. According to the Japanese gastric cancer guidelines 2014, PG, and not TG, is recommended considering the optimal extent of lymphadenectomy for junctional cancer of ≤4 cm in diameter centered within 2 cm of the EGJ (19). Several recent studies have demonstrated that low body mass index and sarcopenia were independent predictive factors of the short- and long-term outcomes of gastrectomized patients, particularly those with advanced cancer requiring multidisciplinary therapy (20-22). Therefore, avoiding TG can possibly prevent postoperative severe body weight loss of patients with advanced EGJ cancer, leading to improved QOL and survival outcomes. However, no optimal reconstructive procedure following PG for EGJ cancer has yet been established as for upper EGC. Particularly in patients with EGJ cancer, the anastomotic procedure is often intra-mediastinally performed to secure an oral cancer-free margin. Therefore, JI or DTR is preferred considering the safety of an anastomotic procedure rather than EG, which is complicated with a high risk of reflux esophagitis and involves a larger surgical field. However, JI and DTR require a greater number of anastomoses; therefore, the anastomotic time is longer than with EG, and the long-term reservoir function of the remnant stomach after these reconstructive methods remains unclear. Therefore, the merits and demerits of EG, JI, and DTR should be cautiously considered on a case-by-case basis while selecting an optimal reconstruction method. The knowledge gained from further studies focused on the long-term function of the remnant stomach with each of these reconstructive procedures after PG would be indispensable.
Two points are particularly important to consider while selecting LPG as a replacement for LTG. First, the exact incidence of anastomotic complications in LPG must be surveyed in large-scaled prospective studies. In Japan, a nonrandomized confirmatory trial was commenced in April 2015 (Japan Clinical Oncology Group Study JCOG1401, UMIN000017155) to evaluate the safety of LTG and LPG for clinical stage I GC with the incidence of anastomotic leakage as the primary endpoints and other perioperative and long-term outcomes as the secondary endpoints (23). This study reveals the actual incidence of anastomotic complications and the safety and feasibility of LPG, although the reconstructive procedure is limited to JI or DTR. Moreover, the findings of this study are expected to help define the standards to examine the safety of EG reconstruction. Second, the application of robotic surgery can potentially relieve the technical complexity and difficulty of VEG-DFT because the use of a robotic system can facilitate precise performance in a confined surgical field with impressive dexterity through several technical properties, including stereoscopic vision, the use of wristed micro-surgical instruments and tremor filtration, and the ability to scale motion (24,25). In fact, we previously reported favorable short-term outcomes and an early learning curve with the use of robotic-assisted VEG-DFT (18). Additionally, an ideal reconstructive procedure after PG with fewer complications and a lower risk of reflux esophagitis is expected to be recognized with the full utilization of a robotic system.
In conclusion, LPG with EG reconstruction has great potential to become a remarkable, function-preserving, standard, surgical procedure for patients with upper EGC and EGJ cancer once the risks of anastomotic stricture and reflux gastritis are resolved.

What does your branding say about your product? For so many products, the colours that carefully wrap around the merchandise define everything about them. The red packaging on Coca-Cola's plastic bottles shouts 'happiness' (so much so that an entire campaign was run based on this theme). 'Peaceful' is how Starbucks is described, as every iced coffee is served in a plastic cup branded with a soothing green logo. And it is not at all an accident that examples like these can be found again and again.

Having recently renovated their store, Kazaam (formerly Kazaam Skate & Snow) was also seeking to renovate their visual identity. Located in Fort McMurray, Alberta Kazaam is a well established independent business whose clientele extends beyond the typical demographic for a skateboard/snowboard shop. A sizable portion of their customer base frequent the store solely to purchase clothing and shoes. As a result, the design needed to present an image that would appeal to these customers without alienating the hardcore skate/snowboarding crowd. The end result was a simple word mark that felt modern yet still contained a sense of fun and energy. Combined with a secondary logo, this wordmark is uniformly applied across a variety of ephemera, from an exterior store sign to a business stationary set. In merchandise targeting the skate/snow demographic, liberties are taken with the visual branding (such as on the 18th Anniversary Skate Deck Design)
Kazaam Skate & Snow is an independent shop in Fort McMurray, Alberta. This illustration/design was created to appeal to the shops customer base: the young, predominantly male, demographic of skateboarders and snowboarders. Typography was integrated into the image, in the form of the shop's name carved into the side of a human skull. This image was chosen because it is consistent with the visual language of skate/snowboard graphics, which has ties to punk and metal iconography. The color palette was chosen to recreate the vibrant, energetic color choices of early skate graphics. Initially conceptualized as a sticker, this design has gone on to be used on promotional buttons.

Being farsighted, I often see things other people can't … or at least, I see things before other people can.
Sometimes, by their reactions, it's clear the other people don't actually believe that I've seen what I say I've seen … or even that it's there.
As a result, sometimes I even doubt myself.
What I am realising, though, is that there is always more to life than they can see. I am lucky to be able to see some of it.
Knowing this, it stands to reason that there is more to life than I can see, as well.
I can never think,
"This is all there is. I know it all. I have all the facts. I am right."
Because there is always more.

Yep, I have TWO pairs of tickets to give away for this quite frankly breathtaking line up. All you need to do is email (firstname.lastname@example.com) with the subject line "Dâm Funk Ticket Competition" or tweet (@putmeonit) me the answer to the simple question below, by 6pm Friday 27th Aug and I will pick the winners at random.
"What is Dâm Funk's live band called?"
You can find more info on the event here, it's happening at Koko on Saturday 4th September - don't leave it to pay day to buy your tickets if you don't win the competition, that's blatantly everyone else's plan and they'll sell out!

Alexa, what is the Church of England?
At a time when church attendance is in decline and use of technology throughout everyday life is increasing, the Church of England is capitalizing on the virtual assistant trend by launching a new skill on Amazon Alexa.
The BBC reports:
"The Church of England is offering worshippers the chance to use voice-activated virtual assistants to pray. People can ask Amazon's Alexa device to read a prayer of the day, the Ten Commandments or the Lord's Prayer or to recite grace before a meal."
Alexa will also be able to answer theological questions, drawing on material from the Pilgrim discipleship course, which is popular in the Church of England. Although Sunday attendance has been in a steady decline, down 14% since 2006, the Church of England is currently reaching more than 1.2 million people online each month and hopes to broaden that reach through the use of virtual assistants. According to the Church of England's website, they also hope this new skill will reach those without a background in the Church or who may have questions about faith, scripture, and doctrine.
As the Alexa skill is developed, the Church of England also plans to incorporate the content from the skill on its website and in its phone and tablet apps; they also plan to launch similar skills on Google Home and Apple HomePod.
This development comes at a time when churches around the globe are learning what it means to minister in a world increasingly connected through and dependent upon technology. In February of 2018, the Church of England launched Digital Labs, a program bringing together coders and other tech workers from around the UK, Europe, and USA to use their skills to develop digital ministry resources. They hope to develop programs, apps, and other methods of working with their 16,500 local churches.
In the Episcopal Church, there is also a growing interest in digital ministry. In an effort to strengthen this ministry, in 2017 the Episcopal Church created a new full-time position for Digital Evangelist, a member of the Presiding Bishop's staff.
Hi there, at the Canterbury House near the University of Kansas, we've been facebook-living Compline service once a week all academic year. We generally get about 4 or 5 folks watching us live, and about 100 or more views of each service every week.
This has been our "digital evangelism". We have reached lots of people and it is really fun. The comments and messages have been positive as well.
I've always had a soft spot for Compline, so any reason to do it, I jump at.
Sounds intriguing, but is it possible to enable this skill in the U.S.? The only skill listed in the amazon app store is "United Kingdom churches" which is not the same thing - or is it?

As an introvert, the worst thing someone can ask me is "tell me a little about yourself." This draws an automatic blank page and writer's block in my mind. It's not that I'm unaware of myself, it's simply that I can't come up with a simple explanation in only a few words upon command.
As an introvert, I spend a lot of time by myself and pay close attention to what I am feeling and thinking. I am very aware of myself, which is quite difficult to achieve in a busy world we live in. I do believe that self-reflection and introspection are important tools for personal growth. I think most introverts have passed quite a bit of time in self-reflection and introspection and are quite aware of who they are.
The exercise allows us as human beings to connect with your true self and make sure we are living true to ourselves. This is true of both introverts and extroverts.
Since writing about myself is a lot easier than talking about myself, I decided to write a few things down.
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." – Aristotle
I sometimes come across as weird or sad because I'm a daydreamer and solitude seeker.
I've always loved writing but struggled in language class because of my dyslexia. I enjoy writing fiction, but once the story has found its conclusion or has run its natural course through my mind, I no longer feel the need or drive to put it on paper. The exercise of writing is more about pulling the ideas out of my busy mind in order to make sense of it.
One night getting ready for bed, I confessed to my fiancée (now husband) that I was thinking about starting a blog. I had a lot of things on my mind and thought that writing short (or long) posts about it would make me happy. I created my blog the very next day and it is still obviously going.
When this page was first created, I chose the name Topics with Passion, as it was fitting my state of mind, and wanted to relay that message that I would be talking about anything and everything that I'm passionate about. I read about blogging and many pro-bloggers strongly suggested that a blog should be one topic only. I decided not to listen. If this blog was going to work and keep my interest going, it had to be a true image of myself. I don't know anyone who is only passionate or interested in one subject only. Most of us are complicated multidimensional beings, so why can't blogs be the same way? There's a reason why categories and tags exist.
"Blog like no one is reading. Blog for yourself, first and always. Blog because you feel compelled to share things you're passionate about and you'll never run out of material." – Unknown
Things I love
My family is very important in my life. They are my number one priority, my heart.
I love writing, puzzles, problem-solving, a good book. I love the nature. I'm a dendrophile (someone who loves trees, forest). I love walking in nature, swimming in the water, watching thunderstorms, feeling the wind on my skin on a road trip.
Despite having dyslexia, I love reading and writing. This blog is diffinitly something I am passionate about.
Things I value
I'm not the friend that's going to agree with you because we're friends. I don't really understand people who are so loyal that they'll agree with a loved one who's blatantly int he wrong. If you're wrong, you're wrong. I understand loving and supporting the person and trying to be sensitive about the matter, but not mindlessly agreeing with them no matter what. I believe that loving someone is about that kind of honesty. If you can't be open in this way, eventually it will create conflict anyway. Without truth, growth can't happen.
"I love the person I've become, because I fought to become her." – Kaci Diane
Things I live with
As someone who struggles with chronic illness and mental illness, I love my bed more than I love most people. It's not easy for people to understand that every day I struggle, often I have to choose whether or not to shower or do the dishes or even get dressed.
What I strive to be
No one is perfect and I know I have a lot to learn. This is why I have a lot of things to strive for. Personally, I think that has human being we constantly need to learn, to dream, to discover, to move forward. That is what keeps us going.
"Always spend time improving yourself" – Unknown
I strive to be an empathetic and altruistic human being. I have a lot of empathy and generosity when it comes to the people in my circle, but I would like to apply those qualities in all facets of my life.
I strive to let go of my ego and moving beyond my our own bullshit that we tell ourselves. I think we all have pride and sometimes that pride keeps us from growing as a human being.

The Urbanists were pleased to sponsor the Young Planners Cymru - After Conference Celebration that was held in the Urban Tap House, Westgate Street, Cardiff, immediately following the Wales Planning Conference.
Attendees enjoyed uplifting and thought-provoking 'quick fire' presentations from Mark Harris (HBF), Gavin Lewis (Regeneration Manager, MTCBC) and Mark Farrar (Planning Director, Urbanists). Mark Harris clarified issues relating to the emerging planning framework and housing delivery, Gavin shared his experiences of leading the Merthyr Regeneration Strategy, and Mark Farrar took forward a number of issues arising from the planning bill and how these are likely to affect young planners. This was followed by a hearty buffet, plenty of beer, and plenty of planning-related and not-so-planning-related debate!
We hope to continue our support of young planners networks in the near future.

'90210' Scoop: Naomi & Adrianna Get Some New Man Candy
Check out these new pics from the '90210' set and tell me what you think of the possible pairs.
The 90210 cast hit the high seas Feb. 15 to film scenes for an upcoming episode, and photos reveal that these kids are swapping partners like square dancers! Not only was Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) spotted cozying up to Preston (Nick Zano), but her ex-boyfriend Austin (Justin Deeley) was looking awfully chummy with Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes). Let's try to make sense of these new pairings, shall we?
'90210' Funeral Pics: Which Character Is Dying?
Who do YOU think should fear the reaper? Peruse my theories & cast your vote!
America's brightest zip code is about to go dark — for one week, anyway. The cast of 90210 was spotted filming funeral scenes Feb. 1 in Los Angeles, and several recurring characters were curiously absent from the shoot: cancer-stricken Raj (Manish Dayal) and newly incarcerated Austin (Justin Deeley). Any theories? I've got, oh, a billion.
90210 Scoop: Justin Deeley Reveals Naomi's Wild Ride With Austin
Justin gives HollywoodLife.com a peek at Austin's future on '90210,' from his relationship with Naomi to his massive daddy issues!
Austin (Justin Deeley) has been M.I.A. since his little fight with Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) in Vegas, but he's back in all his cowboy glory on the Nov. 22 episode of 90210 — and he's bringing the cavalry. "The Thanksgiving episode is fun," Justin tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "Naomi and Austin go to Griffith Park and ride horses, and everybody assumed I knew how to ride just because I'm from Kentucky."
'90210' Scoop: Inside Kellie Pickler's 'Magical' Episode
The country star rocks '90210' tomorrow. Watch a sneak peek of her big episode!
The fourth season of 90210 is shaping up to be a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. Cobra Starship graced The CW's most infamous zip code last week, and now American Idol finalist-turned-country star Kellie Pickler will make her debut on the Oct. 18 episode as Sally, an old friend of Austin (Justin Deeley). We got the scoop on her big episode from Justin himself!
'90210' Recap: Politics Lead To Breakups & Prostitution. Always.
Two major couples are on the rocks! Do you think they'll be able to work things out?
The Oct. 11 episode of 90210 served as an hour-long reminder of why I don't get political: Everybody ends up getting hurt. Or they become prostitutes. Regardless, the gang had a rough go of things this week — and it might be too late for two fan-favorite couples to pick up the pieces.
'90210' Recap: Naomi Takes Down Holly & Liam Gets Dirrty!
This recap is brought to you by Ritalin, the preferred drug of choice for college dropouts recording their first EP.
Of all the lessons I learned from watching the Oct. 4 episode of 90210, the most valuable was how Liam (Matt Lanter) was able to turn a bar commercial into a Guys Gone Wild shoot in three easy steps: (1) Spill beer (2) Remove shirt (3) Add wind! And I'm glad business picked up, because if pregnant Jane (Kristina Apgar) spent one more day crying in that empty bar, they'd have to rename it "Tears and Beers."
90210's Justin Deeley Sizes Up Austin & Max's Feud Over Naomi: 'I Can't Lose To This Guy!'
The nerd and the cowboy finally come face to face tonight on '90210!' Which guy should Naomi choose?
"Let The Games Begin" couldn't be a more appropriate title for the Oct. 4 episode of 90210, because just as Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) prepares to dominate CU's annual Greek Games, the men in her life — Austin (Justin Deeley) and Max (Josh Zuckerman) — will also be going head-to-head.
"Austin had no idea Naomi was involved with another guy," Justin tells HollywoodLife.com. "Once he sees [Max], it becomes, 'Well, I can't lose to this guy.'"
'90210' Season Premiere Recap: Naomi Gets Arrested, Liam Gets Dumped & Errbody Gets Stoned!
'90210' returned Sept. 12 with a bang — well, more like a bong. Let's dissect the big premiere, shall we?
Remember all those really interesting, juicy plot twists that came about at the end of 90210's third season — like Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) being pregnant and Annie (Shenae Grimes) inheriting a butt-load of money? I hope you weren't as into them as I was, because the fourth season premiere pretty much wiped the whole slate clean.
'90210' Returns Tonight — We've Got The Scoop On Naomi's Season 4 Love Triangle!
Do you think Naomi should stick with Max or test the waters with Austin? We'll find out what she decides when '90210' premieres tonight!

Phillips de Pury has picked a hot topic for its next theme sale -- sex.
In London on March 19, the international auction house plans to explore the interplay of contemporary art and sexuality further by presenting works that challenge our concepts of gender, sexual imagery and desirability.
Sex is a thread that appears at most art auctions as it has inspired artists from ancient times. But a major contemporary auction totally devoted to the theme hasn't emerged in recent years.
That said, Phillips de Pury head Simon de Pury is notable for his choice of captivating topics. Some 221 lots will be on offer including painting, sculpture, photography and prints. Works range from the subtle to the explicit (no person under 18 years old is allowed at the auction).
Many of the most influential artists of recent times are included: Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, David Hockney, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann.
A highlight will be British Pop artist Allen Jones's "Soft Tread" (1966-1967), a colorful painting giving a profile view of a woman's feet, legs and bottom erotically gartered with laced hosiery and impossibly-high stilettos. This playful work, inspired by shoe advertising that Mr. Allen had seen in an American mail-order catalog, is expected to fetch £60,000-£80,000.
Carrying the same estimate will be a strikingly straight-forward metal and plexiglass wall sculpture from 1992 by American artist Jack Pierson that simply states "S E X."
For erotic kitsch, it would be hard to beat Germany's Martin Eder. His painting, "The Ass Peace" (2006), featuring a voluptuous nude with two big house cats at her side, is estimated at £50,000-£70,000.
Meanwhile, in a photo from 1992 by German-born Helmut Newton, famous for his majestic nudes, a half-clothed Carla Bruni leans on a piano at her home looking at family photos. Sexier you couldn't get (estimate: £3,000-£5,000).

Coconut & Raspberry Chocolate Cups
These bite-sized chocolates are so delicious and addictive! You can never go wrong combining coconut and chocolate together. Plus the addition of raspberry jam gives it a great fresh flavour.
Now onto the good bit - these treats are packed with lots of nutrients! Woohoo! Dark chocolate is incredibly nutritious, plus we used 90% cocoa solids which massively reduces the sugar content. Dark chocolate is full of magnesium (a mineral we're always banging on about) which is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It helps with muscle contractions, energy production and is important in regulating a regular heart rhythm. The flavanols in chocolate also help boost your alertness so these work great as an afternoon pick me up. ;) Along with chocolate, the raspberries are also rich in a whole load of antioxidants. Normal chemical reactions in the body can result in the production of free radicals which are linked to diseases like cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants scavenge and neutralise these free radicals so that they can't damage your body. Last but not least, the dessicated coconut adds a little fibre boost to this recipe - something most people don't get enough of. Every little helps!
Raspberry jam:
- 50g raspberries
- 3/4 tsp warm water
- 3/4 TBSP chia seeds
- squeeze of lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp maple/honey
Coconut filling:
- 40g dessicated coconut
- 1 TBSP maple syrup
- 1 TBSP coconut milk
- 1 TBSP coconut oil (melted)
- 150g dark chocolate (we used 90%)
- 2 tsp coconut oil (melted)
*Makes 12-16 chocolate cups (depending on the size of cases you use)
Raspberry jam:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the jam in a jar or sealed container.
- Shake the jar vigorously to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Leave to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Chocolate cups:
- Break up the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie) and allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally. Once melted, add the coconut oil and mix.
- Using a silicone brush, paint the small bun cases with a thin layer of the melted chocolate and leave to set in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- For the coconut mixture, blend all of the ingredients until it starts to stick together.
- Half fill each cup with the coconut mixture.
- Then add the raspberry jam. You want enough jam so that the cup is almost full.
- Spoon the remaining melted chocolate into each case and leave to set in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Feeding Frontier Pet food is probably quite different to anything you've done before - so we've put together a short video to give you an overview of how easy it is to feed your pup a warm, healthy, fresh meal every single time.
How much an individual dog needs to eat to maintain a healthy body weight depends on many factors including age, size, metabolic rate and activity level.
With raw feeding a healthy dog will eat around 3% f their body weight per day. If your dog is elderly or very sedate, you may want to reduce this amount.
Frontier Pet food is suitable for giant dogs. The chicken variety is recommended for giant puppies up to 6 months old before introducing the other varieties.
Pregnant bitches typically need up to twice as much food and when lactating up to three times that of an adult dog.
Pups 2-3 months will typically need twice the daily adult requirement (giants up to 4 times as much). At 3-4 months they need three times as much and by 4-6 months, twice as much as an adult dog of the same weight. From 7-15 months their needs will slowly reduce toward the typical adult requirement.
The DAILY PORTION needs to be spread into frequent small meals - typically 4 meals for very young pups, reducing to two daily meals by 6 months of age.
See our guide for typical feeding amounts.
Because Frontier Pet Food is reconstituted, it is important that you do not overfeed your dog. You may feel you're not giving your dog enough food based on the measurements, but these guides are correct.
Remember that you are not diluting the food when you add the water – you are simply adding it back to reconstitute it to its original form. You are also increasing the end weight considerably – given that water weighs three times more than the dried food.
Bear in mind also that you are only feeding your dog good stuff (and not sugars, starches and complex carbohydrates) – so they're more likely to maintain a healthy weight based on these quantities. So please follow the guide.
The DAILY FEEDING GUIDE below shows a range of feeding quantities as dogs needs can be quite different. Start feeding in the mid-range and adjust up if pup is still hungry or down if they are putting on weight.
NOTE that Frontier is a highly digestible food so more energy is available to your dog. This means that your dog needs less calories in comparison to a 'standard' food. Remember to always monitor your dog for signs of obesity or excessive weight loss and adjust accordingly.
Your dog may find it a little weird to have their food swimming in water and may approach with uncertainty. They will quickly grasp the concept though and actually really enjoy lapping up the water as part of their feeding ritual.
INTRODUCE Frontier Pet food gradually over a period of 2-3 weeks, increasing the amount of food until you are feeding it 100% of the time.
Your first order of dog food comes with a very handy (and very clever) measuring cup with bag clip. Plus there's some treats that your dog will follow you for! Shop now and get delivery within 3 days.

Short term loans are used for a specific urgent purpose.
Finance from $100,000
Secured by Real Estate
Business Purposes Only
There are many scenarios where short term finance will be useful:
- To provide a short term loan to settle an urgent loan where time is of the essence, while you wait for a cheaper loan to be approved and settled.
- Payout the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) with short term finance which will then allow you to refinance with a lower interest rate lender.
- Use short term finance to payout aggressive creditors who are threatening to default you or place you in administration, receivership, liquidation or in bankruptcy.
- If you are already in default, administration, receivership or liquidation we can payout the debt with a short term loan, with the view to refinancing with a private lender for a longer period while you repair your credit rating.
- Other purposes.
Short term property loans are far more expensive than a traditional 1st mortgage finance due to the short time frame and inherit risk to the lender.
Short term finance interest rates can vary from 12% per annum to 3% per month, depending on the nature of the loan and risk to the lender.
All short term finance must be secured by real estate.
Loans must always have a clear exit strategy to payout the loan before the end of the short term property finance facility expires. If the short term loan is not paid out on time penalty interest will usually be incurred by the borrower.
Example: you may have a development finance or property loan application in with a Bank and it is going to take more time to settle with the Bank than first envisaged, although you will lose the property you are buying if you do not settle. This is when a short term property finance will solve the problem.
