RYAN Family History
Ó Maoilriain - 'descendant of the follower of Rian', anglicised in later times as Ryan.Ó Riain - 'descendant of Rian', anglicised as Ryan.
Ó Ruadháin - 'descendant of Ruadhán, from the epithet 'red', more often anglicised as Ruane, though sometimes as Royan and Ryan.
The first of these surnames although inhabiteding their Munster homelands from early times, were originally a Leinster sept, according to Fr Woulfe in 'Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall' 1923). In the 13th and 14th centuries they moved to the baronies of Owney and Owney Beg in Tipperary and Limerick. The name Ryan is still most numerous in Co Tipperary.
The second surname is that of a sept in Co Carlow, who were lords of Uí Dróna (Idrone), before spreading in later times throughout eastern Ireland.
The third surname comes from two septs in Connacht, in Mayo and Galway. The usual anglicisation is Ruane, but the name is sometimes disguised, according to Fr Woulfe, as Ryan.
The name occurs as a 'Principal Irish Name' in Petty's 1659 'Census' of Ireland, in the above counties, more often as Mulryane etc in Tipperary and Limerick. The same is true of the 1664 'Hearth Money Rolls' (ed. Laffan) for Co Tipperary, where the name in this form is numerous.
By the time of Griffith's 'Primary Valuation' of Irish households between 1848 and 1860, Ryan is most found in counties Tipperary (4090) Limerick (1263) Kilkenny (616) and Cork (416)
Two Famous Ryans:
William Patrick Ryan (1867-1942) born in Tipperary, was an author and journalist; founder of the socialist newspapers 'Peasant' and 'Irish Nation'.
Francis Thomas Ryan (1862-1927) a member of the US Navy, who received the Medal of Honour for bravery during the Boxer Rebellion

Debi Jones
My x 3 great grandfather was James Michael Ryan, born in Galway, Ireland abt 1819 (unsure of whether his birthplace is correct). He must have immigrated to Australia at some stage if he was born in Ireland (perhaps with parents). His father was Michael Ryan born abt 1797 in Ireland. His mother is believed to be Honora Shaulsy / Shanley / Brien (in some connected records) birthdate unknown. He married Sarah Ann Kennedy in Australia and then moved to Timaru New Zealand where he drowned in Saltwater Creek in 1867. I am unable to go back any further and would love to make some family connections and get more information about our ancestors, please contact Debi - firstname.lastname@example.com
Janine Woolnough
Hi, My paternal grandma was a Ryan, Margaret Ann Kathleen Ryan born in Collingwood, Victoria Australia in 1898. Her father my Great grandfather was James Michael Ryan born in Collingwood, Victoria Australia in 1858. His father my GG grandfather was Michael William Ryan born in Ireland in 1828, Tipperary. He was baptised in Drom and Inch, Diocese Cashel and Emly. I have a Gedmatch number if you would like it please contact me.
Deborah F Clark
My 2x Great-grandfather. James A. Ryan was born in Thornback, Kilkenny, Ireland 9 Sep 1832 and died in Piatt Co., IL, USA 29 Dec 1900. He had a sister, Agnes, who died a spinster in Troyswood, Kilkenny, Ireland 05 Oct 1907. I am trying to find if he had other siblings. I believe his parents to have been William and Bridget Kirwick Ryan who both died in Ireland, but I am not positive where.
Gail Ryan
Jenny Miller - my great-grandfather Patrick Ryan and great-grandmother Bridget Treacy came from Borrisoleigh, and also emigrated to Queensland in ~1880. They got off the boat in Townsville, and spent their lives in Charters Towers. Perhaps we are related - Borrisoleigh is not a huge town!!
Cori Pansarasa
Looking for any connections to my greatgrandmother Mary/Marie Louise Ryan, born 12/27/1876. May have had a brother George William Ryan. Defiantly married to Dudley Edmonds Worth in NY in 1905. May have been born in Staten Island, NY, USA but honestly it is all secrecy. We were told that her mother died when she was 4 (apx 1880) and no mention of father. But my Irish dna points first to Cork, so perhaps her parents were from there. Any help appreciated.
Cherilyn Carroll
Hello Gail Ryan, you wrote this to a Jenny Miller (no dates). "My great-grandfather Patrick Ryan and great-grandmother Bridget Treacy came from Borrisoleigh, and also emigrated to Queensland in ~1880. They got off the boat in Townsville, and spent their lives in Charters Towers. Perhaps we are related - Borrisoleigh is not a huge town!!
My name is Cherilyn, my maiden name Cherilyn Ryan. My great-grandfather (Michael Ryan) was the twin brother of Patrick Ryan, your g-grandfather. My g-grandfather's name was Thomas Ryan and he married Anne Russell in June 1899 (or it may be 1880 - hard to tell), in Borrisoleigh, Tipperary. The town seems to be spelt differently sometimes - Borrisleigh. Sometime after that date in 1899/ 1880, the twin brothers, Thomas and Patrick, came to Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. I know my grandfather's side of the family, i.e. his parents Thomas and Anne Ryan, lived on a cattle property/ station at Calcium/ Reid River/ Toonpan/ Woodstock area - all tiny little places, more like localities really. My grandfather, and in turn my father were both born at Calcium. Woodstock is the largest village and does have a tiny school, but not even a pub! Those areas are not too far south of Townsville (now a city of 150,000 or so). Some of the Ryan's still live on that original property - there are four houses of Ryan's still remaining there. Personally, I don't know them. On my grandfather's (Michael Ryan's) birth certificate, his father Thomas Ryan's occupation is listed as lime-burner. I can't find anything that may relate to Thomas and Patrick's parents or siblings though, those who remained in Ireland, or Thomas and Patrick's dates of birth. I also can't find the date they emigrated to Australia. I was wondering if you had any information on them at all? Perhaps a photo of Thomas and Patrick together, I wonder if they were identical twins. Your g-grandparents, as far as I can tell, lived in and around Townsville all their lives, Charters Towers is quite a bit further away, well in those days of horse and cart anyway - 137km away. Gold was found in Charters Towers at one stage and perhaps they went off to the gold fields for a time. On your side of the family - I have a small "The Ryans - Family History" booklet regarding the offspring of Patrick and Bridget, formerly Tracy (spelt that way in the booklet). They had 9 children, and this particular booklet, it says, was "compiled for the Ryan Family Reunion, 27th September 1997". One of my father's aunts must have given it to me, and some of them must have kept in contact with their cousins - your side of the family. This booklet then goes on to name and give commentary on Patrick and Bridget's third born (May 1885 in Townsville), their son Thomas Patrick Ryan, who married an Alice Isabell MacDonald. It appears they had 12 children!! Your g-grandfather Patrick's occupation was listed as labourer when his son Thomas Patrick was born, according to the booklet. There are two photos in the booklet of your g-grandfather Patrick Ryan and his wife Bridget Ryan, no date on the photo though. There is also another photo of your grandfather (4 generations it says), dated 1939. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me with any more history of on g-grandfather Thomas Ryan and his twin brother Patrick Ryan. As an aside, lime was found on that property at Calcium, also a large cattle station, and it was called the Ryan Lime Company. To this day, lime is still quarried there, but no longer owned by the Ryan's. The quarrying operation was sold decades ago and my grandfather and grandmother (Michael and Eileen Ryan) moved to Brisbane in the 1940's and built a number of shops and a small supermarket (there were no large ones back in the day) in an inner suburb of Brisbane (Queensland's capital). I have also travelled to Ireland in 1979 (and again in 2019, 40 years later). My boyfriend and I, now husband, went to see my grandfather's cousin in 1979, we were with an Irish mate in Nenagh, Tipperary (my boyfriend worked with him in London), whose mother knew my grandfather's cousin - a small world. They had a lovely home on a farm, a quite large double story house - sadly, I can't remember their names, but they lived quite close to Nenagh, where our mate came from. Anyway, this thread doesn't seem to have any dates or years on it, so hopefully I'm not writing this and it goes off into the never, never! Cheers.

(Part 1 of 3) The Ryan name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The Ryan story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Ryan surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Ryan story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

Your brand is a customer's perception about your business. It determines how they feel about the services and product that you offer. A consistent brand message over time will shape what clients and customers think about you and what you stand for. As a business owner, you need to be able to answer the following important question: why should customers care about you?
Every business owner has to think about the art of branding in order to build a stronger and more robust organization. This should incorporate the art of storytelling and the science of strategy in order to build a dynamic and memorable brand.
Relationships with Your Clients
In creating a brand, it is vital to remember that brand creation ultimately takes place in the mind of the consumer. Each individual consumer will create their own version of the brand based on his or her perception.
At the core of the entire process is building trust. The goal, both in the short-term and the long-term, is for customers to feel safe enough that they are confident in you and the products and services that you offer. Central to building that trust is demonstrating, in a clear and coherent fashion, what you are going to deliver and how you are going to deliver it.
Learning from Branding Gurus
Seth Godin wrote, "Brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories, and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another." With this in mind, you must ask yourself what you are doing to successfully cultivate and promote your brand in the marketplace.
Marty Neumeier is considered by many to be the father of modern branding. Neumeier stated that branding is centered on managing relationships between a company and people over many channels.
Allie Weaver, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Allie Weaver Productions, noted that branding is, "The act of giving people a reason to care about your business and a place to belong."
Author Bernadette Jiwa pointed out that great companies all have something in common. Great companies win by mattering. The people who build great companies know what they stand for, and then act on those beliefs in a consistent fashion. Think for a moment about two great companies, Apple and Nike, that have been highly successful in the utilization of modern branding.
Following Your Compass
Building a great brand starts with you. You must understand your vision and be able to answer the question, "Why Me?" Think about why your company exists and matters. How are you working towards keeping a consistent brand promise? In the end, your brand needs to be your compass. If you can understand why customers should choose your business, you'll be well on your way to utilizing modern branding in a powerful and effective way.

Trends in Industrial Motors & Drives
February 18, 2014
New motor and drive systems are continuing to focus on several main design goals: more intelligent performance, higher energy efficiency, and flexible integration options. The result is macro trends that are putting increased focus on support for a broader set of motor types, advanced cooling options, and built-in safety features, along with tighter integration of motor-drive solutions and decentralized control.
Simplified system integration
"One of the main goals with the new ACS250 drive was to complete our microdrive portfolio of drive products, and to provide a microdrive solution that covers the most common voltages used in the US and globally," Greg Semrow, product manager of Low Voltage Drives for ABB Inc., told Design News.
With the industry providing drives for OEM machinery builders that sell equipment globally, a unique aspect of the product is an ability to provide a single-phase 115V input, and a three-phase 230V output for simple machine control. The ACS250 also provides a 600V microdrive for the Canadian market.
"A key feature of the new drive is the ability to provide feed-through wiring with power in through the top of the drive, and power out to the motor through the bottom," Semrow told us. "This is useful to address energy efficiency concerns and system engineers looking to replace older technology that doesn't offer the same levels of energy efficiency. Motor starters are used in applications that are typically wired with power in the top, and power out the bottom, so the new drive provides a drop-in replacement."
Replacing motor starters or soft starters with a drive can help improve overall energy efficiency, reduce mechanical stresses, and enhance process control. Using feed-through wiring, the ACS250 is designed to replace motor starters for general-purpose low-power applications such as augers, mixers, pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Key features include an integrated keypad to simplify application configuration, precise process control using an enhanced V/Hz control for variable and constant torque V/Hz profiles, and an embedded Modbus-RTU communication interface for real-time control and monitoring.
Decentralized control
"One of the trends in industry is that OEMs and end-users no longer want to mount drives in a centralized cabinet and would rather put the drive near or on the motor itself," Semrow noted. "This reduces some of the technical complications related to long motor lead lengths."
One variant of the ACS250 product includes an IP-20 drive that needs to be mounted in an enclosure. Another part of the offering is a NEMA 4X version, which offers a small footprint unit that can be mounted directly on the machine rather than in a control room enclosure.
With the move to more decentralized control and bringing the drive to the motor, Semrow said that in specific industries, ABB is seeing requests for a motor-drive package where the drive is integrated into or placed on top of the motor. The company has also developed a limited-scope product sold only to one customer, which is an integrated drive-motor intended for use with fans and pumps.
More built-in safety features
One global requirement that is being integrated as a built-in feature into drives is safety.
Semrow says OEMs in North America are now starting to request these features, not only for equipment shipping to Europe, but also for applications within the US. Historically, drives have used external devices to provide levels of safety. One of the key safety features is called Safe Torque Off (STO), which is basically a way to stop a drive safely.

Felicity Heaton
A snow leopard shifter exiled from his pride twenty years ago, Harbin treads the dark path of life as an assassin, driven by a hunger for vengeance, mercilessly hunting the Archangel members who attacked his kin, murdering his mother and sister.
When a new contract comes in and the mark is a snow leopard shifter, he can't resist venturing into the mortal world on a personal mission to find out why one from a normally peaceful species now has a price on their head. What he finds in a rundown nightclub isn't quite what he expects—a beautiful snow leopard female that awakens a fierce hunger inside him.
Aya has spent seventeen years living in London, immersed in the underbelly of the fae world, keeping her head down and her tail out of trouble. But when trouble walks right into her life in the form of a sinfully handsome, dangerous assassin, she is pulled into a whirlwind of events that stir up the nightmares of her past but might just give her a shot at putting those ghosts to rest—if she can resist the dark allure of a male she knows is her fated mate.
Can Harbin and Aya resist the passionate fire that blazes between them as they chase the vengeance they both crave? Or will they surrender to their deepest desires?

Cyber Monday is always around the corner, but you already know that: you've been up for hours (after a full night's sleep) watching sales pour in steadily as your customers wake up time zone by time zone to snag deals in your store. You're already up to date on social mentions, and your temporary help is humming through packing for the first wave of orders. Heck, even your latte was made to your exact specifications.
Wait, hold up! If this doesn't sound like you, that's completely normal.
The above picture-perfect version of a Cyber Monday sounds pretty ideal, but it's not the reality for store owners.
Maybe you're not getting any sales. Maybe you're getting more than you anticipated and your staff is wigging out. Maybe your studio is covered in a layer of packing peanuts and you can't find your phone. Or maybe you woke up today and thought, "Oops, is it Cyber Monday already?"
Don't worry, though. Wherever you are on the spectrum of "No Sweat" to "Everything is on Fire", we've got you covered. This post is equal parts pep talk, checklist, and survival guide. Spare just 7 minutes to get equipped for the final day of this wild Black Friday Cyber Monday ride.
How to survive Cyber Monday
It's not enough to simply survive today, of course—you've probably already set a handful of sales goals, even if it's just to make your very first sale. There's still time to achieve them. You've set up your deals and sent out your emails, but the work is not done.
Here are a few last-minute tactics to help keep spirits up and traffic flowing today.
Keep the energy high and the stress low
Stay away from the croissants as carbs can lead to a post-meal slump, and make sure you get plenty of water (it makes you more productive). Moderate exercise and fresh air—say a walk around the block—help circulate oxygen and releases hormones that give you an energy boost. Coffee in moderation can work in a pinch, but you might even need a midday power nap to keep selling through the night.
Beyond staying in good shape physically, your attitude can have an impact on energy. Keep your focus on the positive, reduce stress, and help motivate your staff with these tips:
- Take a few minutes this morning to organize your space: gather all of the needed supplies and set up an efficient workflow.
- Watch the sales roll in with Shopify analytics—Live View gives you a real-time look at who's in your store right now. Set up a "war room" in your work area so that everyone can celebrate and stay excited together.
- Remember your goals: post your goals for today somewhere where you and your staff can be reminded of them all day.
- Create a positive environment for your staff and lead by example.
- Encourage breaks and treat yourself and staff for hard work. Remember when I said no to carbs? Sometimes the emotional benefits of a sprinkled donut outweigh the physical drawbacks.
Real-time customer service
Remember that customers expect a faster response on Cyber Monday, when stakes are high and deals are timed. Make sure that you check your social mentions and inbox frequently, in case your customers are having issues with checkout or have questions about your products or policies.
Take a few minutes this morning to up your Cyber Monday customer service game:
- Check that your product pages have complete and accurate info (start with popular products that are included in your BFCM campaign).
- Add any Cyber Monday-specific Q&As to your FAQ page.
- Try a live chat app—many are free to try, and can be set up in minutes. Since you'll likely be at your computer all day, and your contact volume will be high, it's a good day to test if this method will work for you and your brand.
- Set up a few automations so that you don't miss anything. Use IFTTT or Zapier to collect mentions in a spreadsheet. Set up an auto-reply letting customers know that contact volume may cause delays, and link them to your updated FAQs.
- Edit automated emails in Shopify and create reply templates for social and live chat to save time and keep your messaging consistent among your staff.
Timely customer service can go a long way, and you might just get a testimonial out of it.
Timed deals and social engagement all day
Don't just send one pre-Cyber Monday email and forget it. BFCM is noisy, and your deal could get lost in the shuffle. Send day-of reminders to your customers, and post updates on social throughout the day, especially if your Cyber Monday plan involves timed deals.
What if something goes wrong?
Today may not be the day to start drafting a basic crisis communication plan, but you can avoid customer service surprises by spending a couple of minutes this morning asking yourself a few simple questions:
- What's your backup plan? If your deal sells out early, how will you communicate it to customers? Will you release another deal? What will you do if your customers have checkout issues?
- What's your "holding statement"? Establish common messaging to cover a number of issues, and communicate it to staff to ensure consistency.
- When do you intervene? If you have staff or an assistant managing customer service, establish clear guidelines around when and how to escalate customer concerns.
- How will you make it right? Set up gift cards or discount codes (try Sharable Discount Links) in advance and empower your staff to send them to any disappointed customers.
Set up gift cards or discount codes in advance and empower your staff to send them to any disappointed customers.
Cyber Monday is over. What's next?
Step back and celebrate: you did it! There are a few timely housekeeping items to address as soon as your sales have ended, however. Here's what to tackle in the week following Black Friday Cyber Monday.
Rest, reflect, restock
- Check in with yourself—have you been practicing self-care? We know your business needed your full attention for the past month, but be sure to get a little R&R before the rest of the holiday orders rush in.
- Record any observations you made throughout the weekend. When you run your post-mortem in December or January, you'll be glad you did.
- Assess the damage: how's your inventory? Are you stocked up on supplies? Use this week to replenish.
Giving Tuesday
If you run a not-for-profit business, you are charity-affiliated, or donate any proceeds to help causes you care about, guess what: this long week (is it only Monday!?) isn't quite over. Giving Tuesday, on November 27th, is the hangover of BFCM—a chance for consumers to balance the money spent on products with contributions to causes.
Giving Tuesday offers ideas for small businesses looking to participate.
Follow-up communication
Cyber Monday may have brought a new customer group to your store for the first time. The deal seekers came for the discount, but give them a reason to stick around. Follow up with a thank you email, an exclusive deal, or brand content that engages.
The deal seekers came for the discount, but give them a reason to stick around.
For all of your customers, make sure automated email copy is updated so that customers are notified when orders are shipped. You may also consider sending a survey to get customer feedback on their BFCM experience in your store.
Read our shipping guide for everything you need to know about shipping during BFCM and the holiday season.
Prep for holiday sales
Cyber Monday is over but holiday orders will be streaming in until your shipping cut-off date. Take this opportunity to give your store a bit of a festive makeover (if that's your thing) and update your shipping and shopping info:
- Update assets in your shop and across social media channels to remove BFCM messaging and imagery and communicate holiday deals and info.
- Set and communicate cut-off shipping dates for holiday orders in a prominent place on your website. For U.S. merchants, we recently announced a partnership with UPS that offers domestic 2-day shipping, allowing your customers to squeeze in even more shopping days at your store.
- Update your returns and exchanges policy
- If you own a retail location, too, set and communicate holiday hours
Plan a post-mortem
To prepare for next year, it's important to look at the numbers, run reports, and gather customer feedback. When the dust settles in January, schedule a retrospective with your team to analyze and discuss the wins and losses of Cyber Monday and holiday season.
What worked? What didn't? What will you keep or scrap for next year?
Looking ahead: Next year's Cyber Monday
If you're new to ecommerce or you didn't participate in Black Friday Cyber Monday this year, start gathering inspiration for next year. It's not too early to get started—as the holiday approaches, you'll find yourself with less and less time to look at the big picture.
What to do right now:
- Create an email folder and save good examples of campaign emails from your favorite retailers
- Check out the BFCM Toolbox for resources to bookmark for later
- Start building up your email list in advance of next year's BFCM

NI, the provider of a software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and performance of automated test and automated measurement systems, announced the release of its InstrumentStudio software for NI PXI modular instruments. InstrumentStudio improves the live, interactive use model for modular instruments and makes debugging while running tests more intuitive. Engineers in the aerospace, automotive and semiconductor industries benefit from a more effective workflow for test system development.
InstrumentStudio evolves the concept of single-instrument soft front panels into a unified, multi-instrument environment, so engineers can capture screenshots and measurement results in one view from their suite of instruments. InstrumentStudio can also save project-level configurations for specific devices under test that can be repurposed later or shared with colleagues. This efficiency is key for testing high-mix devices and provides test repeatability at a convenience to the engineer or technician.
At different stages in the product design cycle, test engineers often waste valuable time correlating measurements between similar tests that ultimately use different hardware. And in production test, engineers who need to debug on the manufacturing floor may invest in separate hardware either for monitoring their tests or debugging their automated test equipment.
InstrumentStudio addresses these challenges by exporting configuration files to programming environments that reproduce settings, thereby simplifying measurement correlation. Additionally, test engineers can monitor PXI instrument behavior by running InstrumentStudio while test sequences execute in parallel, streamlining the debug process. Through these seamless interactions with programming environments and test sequences, InstrumentStudio becomes an important part of a comprehensive software workflow and helps engineers maximize their investment in PXI instrumentation.
"For two decades, test and validation engineers have reduced their total cost of test and brought products to market faster using modular instruments on the PXI platform," said Luke Schreier, Vice President of product marketing at NI. "InstrumentStudio makes using NI PXI instruments even easier, from initial product discovery to system debugging, all with intuitive connections to programming environments and test sequencers. It's a valuable tool in unlocking the full potential and usability of your bench or automated test rack."

When we say that something tastes nice, what we are talking about has more to do with smell than with taste. It is estimated that 20% of a tasting experience comes from taste, that is from the tongue, whereas 80% comes from the smell or the aroma. Our tongue has about 9000 taste buds that are capable of detecting sweet, salt, sour and bitter (in order of increasing sensitivity). In comparison, we have around 5-10 million cells or receptors capable of detecting smell. There are about 1000 different smell receptors and they allow us to distinguish more than 10.000 different smells! This is possible because a specific volatile molecule can trigger more than one receptor. It is the combined response from these receptors that we perceive as a certain smell. The Nobel Prize in medicine for 2004 was awarded to Linda Buck and Richard Axel for their "discoveries of odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system".
Based on the fact that aroma of foods is so important for the way we perceive them, a hypothesis can be put forward: if the major volatile molecules of to foods are the same, they might taste (and smell) nice when eaten together. The concept was first appreciated by Firmenich scientist Franí§ois Benzi. At one the first International workshops on molecular gastronomy in Erice, he got the idea that jasmin and pork liver which both contain indole could possibly work well together. And they did!

Experimenting with salty ingredients and chocolate, Heston Blumenthal discovered that caviar and white chocolate are a perfect match. Franí§ois Benzi found that caviar and white chocolate had several amines in common. Since then, Heston Blumenthal has searched a commercial database with information on the contents of more than 7000 volatile molecules in several hundred different foods. Based on this, he has come up with a number of unusual combinations (from egullet.org and other sources). Some of the combinations are also from Herve This. The links are to Heston Blumenthal's own recipes.
- White chocolate and caviar (trimethylamine)
- Strawberry and coriander
- Strawberry, celery leaves and mint
- Mango and pine extract
- Green peppercorn jelly and beetroot
- Snails and Beetroot (the flavor molecule that contributes to the earthiness in each of these is the same. It also exists in spinach and baby corn)
- Chocolate and pink peppercorn
- Carrot and violet (ionone is the main pairing molecule here)
- Carrot and coriander seeds
- Mango and violet
- Mango and pine
- Pineapple, blue cheese and white wine (methyl hexanoate)
- Caraway and lavender are surprisingly interchangeable
- Cauliflower (caramelized) and cocoa
- Liver and Jasmine (indole)
- Cooked cheese (like Parmesan and Gruyere) and honey (with a slightly chestnut character)
- Banana and parsley
- Banana and cloves
- Harissa (chili paste) and dried apricot
- Chocolate and smoked eel (and possibly other smoked flavours as well?)
- Chocolate and meat (pyrazines)
- Coffee, cooked meat, popcorn, canned tuna, slightly roasted white sesam seeds and yeast extracts (2-furfurylthiol and 2-methyl-3-furanethiol)
Garlic, coffe and chocolate. Garlic and chocolate don't have much in common, but both have something in common with coffe (original blogpost, cooking challenge: TGRWT #1). - Salmon and licorice
- Oyster and passion fruit (methyl hexanoate)
- Oyster and kiwi (methyl hexanoate)
- Pineapple and hop (methyl hexanoate)
Pairings that possibly/probably have a molecular basis:
- Chocolate and caraway (or: sauerkraut, aquavit etc.)
- Chocolate and sage
- Chocolate and tobacco
- Chocolate, peanut and merlot vinegar
- Chocolate and red wine
- Mint and mustard
- Parsnip, pear and vanilla
- Minced meat and caramel
- Orange and butternut squash
- Apple and lavender
- Onions, cinnamon, olives and caramel
- Cocoa and mushrooms
- Stilton and rhubarb
- Chantarelle and apricot
- Hazelnut and nutmeg
- Honey/caramel and truffles
- Sweet white wine and pea shoots
- Cranberries and pistachio
- Semolina pudding and red curry
- Parmesan mousse
- Olives, dried figs and brie
- Onion, garlic and coffee
- Chestnuts and praline
- Tomato and strawberry
- Aspargus and violet
- Potato, coffee and capers
The flavour pairing principle can also be used for substitutions:
- Basil (containing linalool, estagol and eugenol) can be substituted by a combination of coriander (linalool), estragol (tarragon, chervil or star anise) and cloves (eugenol)
- Try to use coffee in stead of stock for gravies
- Strawberries and tomatoes appear to be interchangeable
To explore flavour pairings like the ones I've described on this page, I have initiated a monthly food blogging event, They go really well together (TGRWT), and a summary with links to previous announcements and round-ups has been posted. You also check out my blogposts tagged TGRWT and/or posted in the flavor pairing category.
Databases which can be of interest for investigation of further flavour pairings:
- Volatile Compounds in Food
- Flavornet
- The good scents company – an elegant way to search for volatile compounds shared by two foods is to type the following in a google search box: "pineapple cheese site:http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com".
- The website foodpairing.be has beautiful graphs depicting both flavor pairing and flavor substitution – highly recommended!
Caramelized cauliflower and cocoa taste excellent when eaten together. It is fascinating how well the aroma of the two go together, and if I smell roasted cauliflower now, the smell actually reminds me of cocoa! Here's how to make it:
Caramelized cauliflower and chocolate jelly
olive oil
cocoa powder
Cut cauliflower in 1 cm slices. Spread them on aluminum foil. Sprinkle with olive oil and salt. Bake in oven at 200 °C for approx. 30 min (turning the slices after 15 min). For the jelly, bring 1 dL of water to the boiling point. Add 1 ts of agar-agar, 1 ts of sugar and 1 TS of cocoa powder. Mix well, pour into a suitably sized container and leave to set. Cut jelly into pieces and serve together with caramelized cauliflower.
Other examples I have tasted include white chocolate/caviar, strawberry/coriander leafs, pineapple/blue cheese and banana/parsley (see picture below). They all go surprisingly well together, and I guess the challenge for the cooks is to find a suitable way of presenting these dishes. You can read about other bloggers attempts at this in the many TGRWT posts.
White chocolate/caviar (top left), strawberry/coriander leafs (or seeds), pineapple/blue cheese and banana/parsley

Security & You
Eastern Michigan Bank understands that the security of your personal account information is important to you. We also understand that our continued success as a financial institution relies on both our ability to offer banking services to you in a secure manner as well as your responsibility in keeping any access codes, passwords or PINs secure. To assist us in offering these Web-based banking services in a secure manner, we employ a number of measures, which are described below. These measures allow us, among other benefits, to properly authenticate your identity when you access these services and protect your information as it travels between your PC and Eastern Michigan Bank. With the proper safety measures in place, your online banking transactions remain safe and secure. The following measures have been taken to ensure your privacy, as well as some steps you can take
Information Encoding
We use the latest encryption technology to ensure that your private information cannot be intercepted. Encryption is a way to rewrite something in code, which can be decoded later with the right "key". When you request information about your accounts, the request is sent encrypted to Eastern Michigan Bank. We decrypt your request and send the requested information back to you in an encrypted format. When you receive the information, it is decoded so that you can read it.
Personally Selected Account Names
Eastern Michigan Bank does not display your account numbers over the Internet. Instead, we ask you to choose a "pseudo" name for each of your accounts. Example of pseudo name would be vacation account, checking account, savings account. You can change your "pseudo" account name under the "Options" section of our online banking service.
Unique ID and Password
In order to access your accounts online you must enter a unique User ID and password. We strongly recommend that you choose a password that you can remember (without writing it down) but does not contain information that can be easily guessed by someone. Avoid the use of birthdays, children's names, etc. Do not reveal your User ID or password to anyone.
Three (3) strikes and you're out
If an unauthorized person attempts entry into an end user's account by trying to guess a Log-In ID, the bank will disable the password on the third incorrect attempt, thus invalidating the Log-In combination. If you accidentally activate this security feature by unintentionally mis-keying a password three times, you would need to call the Bank to reestablish the password for that account. For example, a common mistake made by the end user is having the CAPS-LOCK on while keying in a password.
To further protect you, a timeout feature is used. This feature will automatically log you out of your current financial service session after a 10-minute inactivity period on our site.
Password Expiration
Eastern Michigan Bank requires that you periodically change your password. This step provides additional security should someone guess your current password.
Email Communications
Please remember that e-mail is not secure against interception, and you should be cautious when sending e-mail with personal information. If your information is very sensitive, or includes personal or confidential information-such as your bank account, charge card or Social Security number-you may want to contact us by postal mail or telephone. For a secure email connection utilize our Contact Us option.
Server Firewall
Our server is isolated from the network via a "firewall". All requests to the server are filtered through a router and
firewall before they are permitted access to the server. A router is a piece of hardware that works in conjunction with the firewall, a piece of software, to block and direct traffic coming to the server. The router and software "firewall" define and limit access that "outside" computers have to the Bank's server. The configuration begins by disallowing ALL traffic and then opens only when necessary to process acceptable data requests, such as sending customer requests to the Bank.
How You Can Protect Your Internet Security
While Eastern Michigan Bank works to protect your banking privacy, you will also play an important role in protecting your accounts. There are a number of steps you can take to ensure that your Eastern Michigan Bank account information is protected, including:
- Keep your password to yourself.
- Change your password frequently.
- Remain at your computer until your Online Banking transactions are completed and log out. Log out of Online Banking prior to visiting other Internet sites.
If you notice suspicious or unusual activity on your Online Banking accounts, call the bank immediately.

… the "how high you have to be above the shore to see the Farallons" SRS Challenge to a friend.
You remember the original Challenge about seeing the Farallons. The question there was "can you see the Farallon Islands from the western shoreline of San Francisco?"
There was an interesting observation in that post. It turns out that you can see them from the bluff over the shore, but not when you're standing on the shore itself.
We figured out that the explanation (ignoring atmospheric refraction effects) was that you have to be some distance above the sand in order to see the islands. The question was really how high do you need to be to see the base of the islands?
I told my friend about the math involved, waved my hands a lot, and drew a few diagrams on a piece of paper. But sometimes, that's a bit, well… handwavy. What I really wanted was a simple interactive graphic. You know, the kind where you move the slider up and down, and it shows you how far out to sea you can see.
An example of such a widget can be seen at the Physics Classroom Interactive Lens web page. Here's an example:
Side-by-side images from Physics Classroom, an interactive lens tool. If you slide the focus slider (f) and the height slider (H), the image above changes in real-time to show the relationships between focal length and the height of the original image. |
In this widget, when you slide the f and H sliders to the left or right, the paths of the lines change as you wiggle the variable values around.
The Challenge this week is to figure out how to make such a thing to interactively show the relationship between height and visible distance.
1. Can you make an interactive widget that illustrates "how far out to sea can you see" without going into full-developer mode and writing a bunch of HTML, CSS, and Javascript?
This Challenge is really for the teachers out there, who might like to make such a widget to help illustrate and teach a particular point. But I suspect that having the ability to make these little instructive interactables would be a handy sensemaking tool in general.
The REAL Challenge is to find a tool that will help you make such a thing. Once you find that tool, use it to make a simple interactive widget that illustrates this height-over-the-sand to visible-distance relationship.
To get you started, here's a side-by-side sketch of what such a widget might look like. In the first image, the observer's eye is 1.7 meters above the beach, which lets the observer see 4.7 km out to the visible horizon.
The interaction is simple: As you drag the red dot up, the value of the "height above the beach" changes. In this image, it's 100m. You can drag it down to 0, or up to a much higher number. As you drag, the widget updates the "visible distance" number as you drag, and redraws the red line to touch a point on the circle (in this case, one that is 36 km out).
In this next image, I've dragged it down a bit. Here it's just 1.7 meters above the beach, and the red dotted line only goes out 4.7 km. As I drag the dot, the numbers should update, the line to the dot should move up and down, and the line to the point on the circumference of the circle should slide along to show the distance.
NOTE: These are sketches of what the widget might look like. They're NOT images from a working widget.
The formula connecting these two variables look like this:
distance = 3.7 * (height ^ 0.5)
where height is in meters, and distance is in kilometers. (In the top example, since the height is 100m, the square root of 100 is 10. Hence, 10 * 3.7 = 37 km.)
To start off, see if you can find a toolkit that will let you make a simple widget–that is, one that lets you slide a slider. (Don't worry about drawing the diagram on your first pass.) Then, once you get that working, try to add in the diagram.
Fair warning: I don't know how hard this Challenge will be–I haven't solved it yet (or really started it). On the other hand, this is much more like the SearchResearch Challenges analysts solve in their day-to-day work.
I'll be fascinated to see what we can come up with.
When you get something working, put it into a web page and post your URL to the comments section. I'll collect them (along with your comments about how to answer the Challenge) next week.
If it's going slowly, I'll give some hints over the next few days (and maybe extend the Challenge for a second week).
As always, let us know what you're thinking about as you search. What queries did you do? What were your experiences in finding a tool to help build this thing? How did you figure it all out?
Search on!

The Hearts of Men
An epic novel of intertwining friendships and families set in the Northwoods of Wisconsin at a beloved Boy Scout summer camp—from the bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs
Camp Chippewa, 1962. Nelson Doughty, age thirteen, social outcast and overachiever, is the Bugler, sounding the reveille proudly each morning. Yet this particular summer marks the beginning of an uncertain and tenuous friendship with a popular boy named Jonathan.
Over the years, Nelson, irrevocably scarred from the Vietnam War, becomes Scoutmaster of Camp Chippewa, while Jonathan marries, divorces, and turns his father's business into a highly profitable company. And when something unthinkable happens at a camp get-together with Nelson as Scoutmaster and Jonathan's teenage grandson and daughter-in-law as campers, the aftermath demonstrates the depths—and the limits—of Nelson's selflessness and bravery.
The Hearts of Men is a sweeping, panoramic novel about the slippery definitions of good and evil, family and fidelity, the challenges and rewards of lifelong friendships, the bounds of morality—and redemption.

"Awesome Again: Seven Simple Steps for a Man to Regain His Vitality" Launched as the #1 New Release on Amazon
New Orleans, LA – USA – January 6, 2020 – Author, Flavio Ballerini, PHD, published his book "Awesome Again: Seven Simple Steps For a Man to Regain His Vitality" as the #1 New Release on Amazon last month to rave reviews. This book is valuable because it evolved and was tested over a period of twenty-two years of clinical experience with hundreds of men who felt that they had lost their edge but now wanted to be Awesome Again. Ballerini says, "After my breakdown, I went to many therapists, but it was not until I remembered and started working with the Seven Steps that my life started changing for the better."
The program has five parts:
1. A self-assessment to know where you are at on the Awesomeness Scale.
2. The philosophy, therapeutics, and science of awesomeness, so you know that you CAN change.
3. The Seven Steps to becoming Awesome Again.
4. The routines of Awesomeness, a powerful program to keep the positive changes going forward and to discover your purpose in life.
5. The guided meditations in your personal portal used to install the Seven Steps to Awesomeness into your subconscious mind.
The Seven Steps are:
1. Talk it out.
2. Quit all toxic substances.
3. Sleep well.
4. Mind your health.
5. Release negativity.
6. Upgrade yourself.
7. Contemplate your life.
"People tell me that there is magic in these steps," Ballerini says. "You work on each step on your journey to becoming Awesome Again as you discover other values, strengths, and a peaceful power within you that will transform your life into what it is meant to be."
"Once I read Awesome Again, I discovered that there are no age limits, we can be youthful, fantastic, or even better than before." Cristobal Herrera, Master Photographer
"Awesome Again provides it's the information you never knew you needed." Heriberto A. Guerra, Entrepreneur
This inspirational guide for men who want to regain their vitality is a must-read. The Routines of Awesomeness will ensure you have a great life. Edgar Alvarez, Author, Novelist, Playwright
Ballerini didn't stop with "Awesome Again" and recently published "Philosophy of Therapy: An Inquiry Into The Reasons And Beliefs For Therapists To Do What They Do As They Do It" published by Absolute Author Publishing House. This book is also available in Spanish.
"The Philosophy of Therapy" is a critical inquiry into the reasons and beliefs for therapists of all modalities to do what they do, as they do it. This work was conceived as an invitation for therapists and philosophers to dialogue about the nature of therapy, and the justifications used not only in the practice of therapy, but also in the formation of new therapists. Ballerini says, "We surmise that as the world becomes more complex, both the population and the proportion of the population seeking a better quality of life increases. This exponential increase in the number of people seeking deeper meaning for their lives makes it necessary for more therapists than ever to be available to serve the public.
I believe that only the application of the philosophical method of inquiry will generate the novel forms of therapies required in the new millennium, and the massive number of therapists likely to be needed".
"The Philosophy of Therapy" is now in its third edition, with a revised text and a new section on therapy added. In your personal portal at www.flaviolife.com/pot we ask that you make your philosophical contributions to the philosophy of therapy."
If you want to meet Ballerini he has a free presentation scheduled on Sunday, January 19, at 2:00 p.m. at 7945 NW 2 Street, Miami, FL 33126.l He will be available for questions about the book and books will be available for sale. For more information and details on the presentation call 305-267-8277.
Flavio Ballerini, PHD, was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1966. His family moved to Edina, Minnesota, when he was sixteen. He worked as a design engineer, then as a scientist and as a professor of engineering. Most of his research was in the area of cardiovascular mechanics, which led him to hypnotherapy because of the mind/body connection. Later, he attended medical school. He has four daughters, from twenty-five to two and lives in Pembroke Pines, just north of Miami, Florida.

When Does God Become 100 Percent for Us?
- John Piper Desiring God
- Updated Oct 04, 2007
I have asked the question in public, "When does God become 100% for us?" And I have given an answer that rightly troubles thoughtful, biblical people. So this article is an effort to answer their question.
In my message to the Desiring God National Conference on Sunday, September 30, I answered the question like this:
What the Bible teaches is that God becomes 100% irrevocably for us at the moment of justification, that is, the moment when we see Christ as a beautiful Savior and receive him as our substitute punishment and our substitute perfection. All of God's wrath, all of the condemnation we deserve, was poured out on Jesus. All of God's demands for perfect righteousness were fulfilled by Christ. The moment we see (by grace!) this Treasure and receive him in this way his death counts as our death and his condemnation as our condemnation and his righteousness as our righteousness, and God becomes 100% irrevocably for us forever in that instant.
The question this leaves unanswered is, "Doesn't the Bible teach that in eternity God set his favor on us in election?" In other words, thoughtful people ask, "Did God only become 100% for us in the moment of faith and union with Christ and justification? Did he not become 100% for us in the act of election before the foundation of the world?" For example, Paul says in Ephesians 1:4-5, "[God] chose us in [Jesus] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ."
Is God then not 100% for the elect from eternity? The answer hangs on the meaning of "100%." With the term "100%" I am trying to preserve a biblical truth found in several passages of Scripture. For example, in Ephesians 2:3, Paul says that Christians were "children of wrath" before they were made alive in Christ Jesus. "We all once lived [among the sons of disobedience] in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind."
So Paul is saying that, before regeneration, God's wrath was on us. The elect were under wrath. This changed when God made us alive in Christ Jesus and awakened us to see the truth and beauty of Christ so that we received him as the one who died for us and as the one whose righteousness is counted as ours because of our union with Jesus. Before this happened to us, we were under God's wrath. Then, because of faith in Christ and union with him, all God's wrath was removed and he then became, in that sense, 100% for us.
Similarly in Romans 8:1, there is the crucial word "now." "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." The implication of "now" is that there was once condemnation over us and now there is not. A real change in God's disposition toward us happened in the moment of our regeneration and faith and union with Christ and justification.
Notice the phrase "in Christ" at the end of Romans 8:1. This is why God's disposition toward us is different when we believe in Christ. When we believe in Christ, we are united to him—that is, we are "in Christ." This means that his death counts as our death and his righteousness counts as our righteousness. This is why there is now no condemnation, whereas before there was. Before Christ bore the curse of the law and we were united to him by faith, we were under the curse of the law. "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13).
When Paul uses the language of God being "for us," he speaks of it in the context of what Christ has done for us in history. For example, in Romans 8:31-32, he says, "If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" Not sparing his Son is the act that secures God's being 100% for us forever.
So was God 100% for us from eternity because we were elect? In one sense, yes. It was 100% certain that he would bring us to faith and save us. But when I ask the question, "When did God become 100% for us?" I mean more than: "When did it become 100% certain that God would save us?" I mean: "When did it happen that God was for us and only for us? That is, when did it happen that the only disposition of God toward us was mercy? Or: When did God become for us so fully that there was not any wrath or curse or condemnation on us, but only mercy?
The answer, I still say, is at the point when, by grace, we saw Christ as a supremely valuable Savior and received him as our substitute sacrifice and substitute righteousness. In other words, it happened at the point of justification. The implication of this is that all our works, all our perseverance, all our continuing faith and obedience does not cause God to be 100% for us, but is the result of his being 100% for us.
Paul's logic in Romans 8:32 is that because God gave his Son to die for us therefore he will give us all things with him. That is, God will see to it that we persevere to the end not only because we are elect, but because Christ died for us and we are in Christ. That is the logic of 1 Corinthians 1:8-9: "[God] will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." The call is mentioned as the ground of God's faithfulness to sustain us to the end.
Therefore, exult in the truth that God will keep you. He will get you to the end because in Christ he is 100% for you. And therefore, getting to the end does not make God to be 100% for you. It is the effect of the fact that he is already 100% for you.
Glorying in the gospel with you,
Pastor John

The world premiere Berkeley Repertory Theatre production of Ain't Too Proud—The Life and Times of The Temptations will land at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center for a five-week engagement that is being billed as "pre-Broadway." With a book by Dominique Morisseau, directed by two-time Tony winner Des McAnuff and choreographed by Olivier winner Sergio Trujillo, the production will play the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater from June 19 through July 22, 2018.
Ain't Too Proud follows The Temptations' extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Through friendship and betrayal amid the civil unrest that tore America apart, their moving and personal story still resonates five decades later.
Ain't Too Proud features an iconic score made up of The Temptations' legendary songs including "My Girl," "Just My Imagination" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." The creative team includes Robert Brill (scenic design), Paul Tazewell (costume design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design) and Peter Nigrini (projection design). Orchestrations are by Harold Wheeler with music direction and arrangements by Kenny Seymour.
The cast of the D.C. run of Ain't Too Proud, as well as further details on Broadway plans for the show, will be announced at a later date.

Bishop Spong's Wise Words on Hell and the Afterlife
I was thrilled to see the spiritual developments in "liberal Christianity" as voiced by the retired Episcopalian bishop from Newark, N.J., John Shelby Spong. Spong rightly sees hell as an invention of the Church. My favorite quotation from him is, "God is not a Christian." More important, he stresses that God cannot be contained in any human system, such as a religion. My way of naming God is All That Is and All That Is contains all things that exists now or in the past or in the future. That means God contains all religions, all spiritual systems, all philosophies; they do not contain God.

B2B buyers are placing a greater emphasis on visual content throughout the purchasing lifecycle, and are accessing content much more frequently from smartphones and tablets. These trends have led to an even higher buyer reliance on content than ever before to assist in research and purchasing decisions.
Those are just a few of the trends identified in Demand Gen Report's 2014 Content Preferences Survey, which polled more than 100 B2B buyers about their use of content in making purchasing decisions. Of the respondents, almost one third (32%) held positions in an IT department, while 19% worked in professional services. C-level executives represent 24% of the respondents.
B2B marketers have responded to these consumer demands by providing content through an even wider variety of access points. As an example of the range covered, there are now seven content types that are used by a majority of buyers: white papers, E-books, webinars, infographics, case studies, videos and blog posts.
The Need To Be Visual
The 2014 survey revealed that a higher percentage of respondents are using visually appealing content such as videos, infographics and interactive presentations. This year, use of video content increased by 8% to 58%, while infographic usage increased by 9% to 52%. Interactive formats such as Brainshark and SlideShare increased in popularity as well, up from roughly 21% in 2013 to 28% in 2014.
Unlike last year, when most common content formats gained in popularity, the top two content types of 2013 (white papers and webinars) dipped in usage. Case studies (73%) overtook webinars (67%) as the second most popular form of content in 2014.
The desire for this type of content is certainly a trend marketers must take note of during the ideation stage. A substantial number of buyers this year (86%) expressed some level of desire to access interactive/visual content on demand, and the amount of buyers who strongly agreed with these sentiments increased from 34% in last year's survey to 46% in 2014.
The shift in content sharing is an even greater example of the buyer's preference for clean content that is quick and easy to digest.Of the 11 content types listed in the survey, B2B buyers are most likely to share blog posts, with 40% identifying that they share them frequently. Coming right behind blog posts are infographics (39%) and videos (37%), with all three top content formats vaulting ahead of last year's fan favorite, white papers.
While white papers generally provide the most detailed information of any content type available, they involve a much greater investment of time than most videos, and certainly all infographics. Today's buyer wants to consume as much information about a product or service as they can in as little amount of time as possible.The survey noted that 95% of B2B buyers agreed that they preferred shorter content formats.
Mobile Content Takes Center Stage
With the advent of the tablet and the proliferation of smartphone technology, B2B content now can be viewed at any time and place. Buyers in 2014 are not only interested in viewing content through mobile channels; they are requiring it. Slightly more than 85% of buyers in 2014 say they strongly or somewhat agree that they require content optimized for a mobile device, compared to almost 69% in last year's survey.
Desktop and laptop PCs certainly still gather the most traffic from buyers, as 95.2% of respondents said they frequently access business-related content on those devices.However, mobile phones and tablets are catching up with their more established counterparts. Respondents who frequently use mobile phones to access content increased from 42.9% in 2013 to 55.8% in 2014, while frequent tablet users jumped from 31% to 42% during the same time period.
The survey revealed that almost 90% of buyers believed that content needs to be more mobile friendly. This data indicates that marketers need to continue improving on the newer design practices that have been implemented to help get mobile content off the ground in the first place.
The growth of mobile content consumption over the past year combined with the sophistication of mobile technologyhas created an expectation that buyers will continue to consume B2B content at a more frequent rate in 2015.
Peers Still Highest Point Of Trust
Buyers still look first to their peers when seeking an opinion regarding the B2B purchasing decision. Respondents who were asked to rate specific channels in finding relevant content on a scale of 1-to-5 (1 being most valuable) gave "peer referrals" an average rate of 2.27, the highest rate among all channels. Almost all respondents (97%) give more credence to content that includes peer reviews and user-generated content.
Social media's role in the buying process is still relatively weak, particularly in influencing potential buyers to either access or share content. Although LinkedIn and Twitter have been valuable to buyers, the four least valuable channels according to the survey were all social networks (Google+, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest).
It appears vendors are understanding the natural direction that buyers are leaning towards when they look to access content. The higher frequency by which buyers look to access content via a mobile device or tap into visual content such as videos and infographics has given marketers a better grasp to be more creative and proactive in building content. However, with so many access points and increasing consumer demands, it is clearly up to marketers to ensure that theB2B buyer continues to be satisfied with their content options.

to a certain page, that any phrase
you read will make a difference today,
or that the voices you might overhear
when the wind moves through the yellow-green
and golden tent of autumn, speak to you.
Things ripen or go dry. Light plays on the
dark surface of the lake. Each afternoon
your shadow walks beside you on the wall,
and the days stay long and heavy underneath
the distant rumor of the harvest. One
more summer gone,
and one way or another you survive,
dull or regretful, never learning that
nothing is hidden in the obvious
changes of the world, that even the dim
reflection of the sun on tall, dry grass
is more than you will ever understand.
And only briefly then
you touch, you see, you press against
the surface of impenetrable things.

Suppose that an elephant and a feather are dropped off a very tall building from the same height at the same time. Suppose also that air resistance could somehow be eliminated such that neither the elephant nor the feather would experience any air drag during the course of their fall. Which object - the elephant or the feather - will hit the ground first? The animation at the right accurately depicts this situation. The motion of the elephant and the feather in the absence of air resistance is shown. Further, the acceleration of each object is represented by a vector arrow.
Many people are surprised by the fact that in the absence of air resistance, the elephant and the feather strike the ground at the same time. Why is this so? This question is the source of much confusion (as well as a variety of misconceptions). Test your understanding by making an effort to identify the following statements as being either true or false.
TRUE or FALSE:
If you answered TRUE to any of the above, then perhaps you have some level of confusion concerning either the concepts or the words force, weight, gravity, mass, and acceleration. In the absence of air resistance, both the elephant and the feather are in a state of free-fall. That is to say, the only force acting upon the two objects is the force of gravity. This force of gravity is what causes both the elephant and the feather to accelerate downwards. The force of gravity experienced by an object is dependent upon the mass of that object. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object. Clearly, the elephant has more mass than the feather. Due to its greater mass, the elephant also experiences a greater force of gravity. That is, the Earth is pulling downwards upon the elephant with more force than it pulls downward upon the feather. Since weight is a measure of gravity's pull upon an object, it would also be appropriate to say that the elephant weighs more than the feather. For these reasons, all of the eight statements are false; there is an erroneous part to each statement due to the confusion of weight, mass, and force of gravity.
But if the elephant weighs more and experiences a greater downwards pull of gravity compared to the feather, why then does it hit the ground at the same time as the feather? Great question!! To answer this question, we must recall Newton's second law - the law of acceleration. Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. When figuring the acceleration of object, there are two factors to consider - force and mass. Applied to the elephant-feather scenario, we can say that the elephant experiences a much greater force (which tends to produce large accelerations. Yet, the mass of an object resists acceleration. Thus, the greater mass of the elephant (which tends to produce small accelerations) offsets the influence of the greater force. It is the force/mass ratio which determines the acceleration. Even though a baby elephant may experience 100 000 times the force of a feather, it has 100 000 times the mass. The force/mass ratio is the same for each. The greater mass of the elephant requires the greater force just to maintain the same acceleration as the feather.
A simple rule to bear in mind is that all objects (regardless of their mass) experience the same acceleration when in a state of free fall. When the only force is gravity, the acceleration is the same value for all objects. On Earth, this acceleration value is 9.8 m/s/s. This is such an important value in physics that it is given a special name - the acceleration of gravity - and a special symbol - g.
But what about air resistance? Isn't it nonrealistic to ignore the influence of air resistance upon the two object? In the presence of air resistance, the elephant is sure to fall faster. Right? Investigate these questions by following the appropriate links to the Elephant and Feather (with Air Resistance) in the Multimedia Physics Studios.
