Skip the fire drills
Using a modeling approach to become more data driven
By Aiman Zeid, Global Consultant, SAS
Does this sound familiar? Sales plunge or profits sag. Everyone scrambles to react. A technical team is assembled. Data is gathered and analyzed.
Meanwhile, another unit or division is holding its own data gathering and analysis fire drill. It could be using the same data, or a different set. It could be analyzing the contents the same way as other units – or an entirely different way. It could come up with a slightly different interpretation of what is going on – or a wildly different one. No matter what happens, executives are left scratching their heads as they try to make the right decision.
And as soon as the next crisis arises the whole process starts over. It's an ad hoc way to use information to drive decision making and it's all too common in companies around the world.
But there is a better way.
Working with a model and focusing on improving the maturity of the people, process, technology and culture can't happen without executive support.
Think people, process, technology and culture
To move beyond the fire-drill mentality, organizations need to think about the people, processes, technology and culture that are involved in – and drive -- their use of information. By aligning these four pillars, organizations can succeed at using information in an ongoing, flexible and holistic way that treats it as a strategic asset worthy of time and attention.
Note that technology isn't the first pillar mentioned. This is because the biggest mistake organizations make is to try and buy their way out of an information jam with technology.
But technology can't be used effectively without skilled individuals, well thought out processes and a culture that supports the use of information to make decisions.
Work with a model
Following a model can feel a bit like engineering a product; but simply saying "let's hire better people, assign a committee to come up with a process, buy some technology and change the culture," doesn't work. Using an information maturity model can go a great way toward helping your organization understand where you are and where you would like to go.
An information maturity model helps define the growth-killing behavior of Level I (individual) companies with their data hoarders and gut instinct-based decision making and the wasteful silo'd mentality of Level II (departmental) companies – where data is analyzed well within departments units but not across the entire enterprise. It details what happens at higher levels where organizations begin to develop a broad and deep view of their information to make decisions that make the organization much more competitive.
Put a model into action
Working with a model and focusing on improving the maturity of the people, process, technology and culture can't happen without executive support.
Executive support seems like an obvious need – but it often overlooked. You don't just need a C-level individual providing tangential support, they must advocate for this process with their peers. Their support is critical to changing the culture that often short circuits data-based decision making efforts by reverting to gut instinct.
Centers of Excellence (CoE) are a hugely popular way to support the company's effort in promoting the use of analytics and business insight. They are also often poorly designed. To increase a company's information maturity, a CoE does not always do the analytics work, it helps create a framework for everyone in the company using data to make better decisions. These organizations should not be bottlenecks -- they should be enablers (in the best sense of that word).
I was talking with an executive from a company that has done a particularly good job of using information to drive decisions and asked how their culture has changed. In his mind becoming a very data-driven company is akin to breathing – the use of data must be automatic. It can't be project based, ad hoc or in response to a problem. He could not have said it better.

Just after midnight earlier today, George Zimmerman — the man at the center of a killing that has become a national story because of its racial overtones — was released from the Sanford, Fla., jail where he was being held while awaiting trial.
He posted the required 10 percent ($15,000) of his $150,000 bail and left wearing an electronic monitoring device that will allow authorities to track his movements.
According to theOrlando Sentinel:
"It's likely that Zimmerman will leave the state, but officials will be able to monitor his actions no matter where he is living while he awaits trial. Zimmerman had gone into hiding in an unknown location outside of Florida before he was arrested earlier this month.
"Zimmeran's address will be kept private for safety reasons. His life has been threatened numerous times."
Zimmerman, 28, is the man who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26 in Sanford. The killing ignited protests in cities across the country and renewed the national discussion about race relations because Martin's family and supporters believe the teen was "profiled" by Zimmerman. They also believe local authorities did not initially arrest Zimmerman because they were too quick to believe his claim of self defense.
Martin was African-American. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, had called police to say a "suspicious" youth was in his neighborhood. He has been charged with second-degree murder. Zimmerman has said he acted in self defense after Martin attacked him. Martin's family and supporters say it appears Zimmerman stalked the teenager.

Real Estate is Still Soaring, Rates Are STILL LOW!
Real Estate Is Soaring, But Not Like 2008
Unlike last year, the residential real estate market kicked off 2020 with a bang! In their latest Monthly Mortgage Monitor, Black Knight proclaimed:
"The housing market is heating entering 2020 and recent rate declines could continue that trend, a sharp contrast to the strong cooling that was seen at this same time last year."
Zillow revealed they're also seeing a robust beginning to the year. Jeff Tucker, Zillow Economist, said:
"Our first look at 2020 data suggests that we could see the most competitive home shopping season in years, as buyers are already competing over…homes for sale."
Buying demand is very strong. The latest Showing Index from ShowingTime reported a 20.2% year-over-year increase in purchaser traffic across the country, the sixth consecutive month of nationwide growth, and the largest increase in the history of the index.
The even better news is that buyers are not just looking. The latest Existing Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed that closed sales increased 9.6% from a year ago.
This increase in overall activity has caused Zelman & Associates to increase their projection for home price appreciation in 2020 from 3.7% to 4.7%.
Are we headed for another housing crash like we had last decade?
Whenever price appreciation begins to accelerate, the fear of the last housing boom and bust creeps into the minds of the American population. The pain felt during the last housing crash scarred us deeply, and understandably so. The crash led us into the Great Recession of 2008.
If we take a closer look, however, we can see the current situation is nothing like it was in the last decade. As an example, let's look at price appreciation for the six years prior to the last boom (2006) and compare it to the last six years:There's a stark difference between these two periods of time. Normal appreciation is 3.6%, so while current appreciation is higher than the historic norm, it's certainly not accelerating beyond control as it did leading up to the housing crash.
Today, the strength of the housing market is actually helping prevent a setback in the overall economy. In a recent post, Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist for First American explained:
"While the housing crisis is still fresh on the minds of many, and was the catalyst of the Great Recession, the U.S. housing market has weathered all other recessions since 1980. With the exception of the Great Recession, house price appreciation hardly skipped a beat and year-over-year existing-home sales growth barely declined in all the other previous recessions in the last 40 years…In 2020, we argue the housing market is more likely poised to help stave off recession than fall victim to it."
Bottom Line
The year has started off very nicely for the residential housing market. If you're thinking of buying or selling, now may be the time to get together to discuss your options.

Now, one way Mitt Romney has challenged President Obama is by going after his foreign policy record. Romney has been especially critical of the president's handling of Iran and Syria. But those attacks aside, some analysts say it's been hard to define where Romney stands on key international issues and whether he differs all that much from the president.
Here's NPR's Jackie Northam.
JACKIE NORTHAM, BYLINE: Till now, the presidential campaign has largely focused on the dismal economy here in the U.S. But with a number of serious situations brewing overseas - in Pakistan, for example, and North Korea and China - there are increasing questions about how Mitt Romney would respond to a crisis.
During a speech at the Citadel late last year, he promised the U.S. would be resolute and that it would always retain its military supremacy.
MITT ROMNEY: American foreign policy must be prosecuted with clarity and resolve. Our friends and allies must have no doubts about where we stand, and neither should our rivals.
NORTHAM: The speech broadly laid out how he would deal with some of the more difficult international challenges. But Jon Alterman with the Center for Strategic and International Studies says Romney has been consistently short on details when it comes to foreign policy issues and that he prefers to deflect.
JON ALTERMAN: Instead, there's an effort to say the president is wrong without a really clear sense of how the president's wrong and what a Romney administration would do dramatically differently.
NORTHAM: But Rich Williamson, Romney's foreign policy advisor, says there's a profound difference between the two men. Williamson says unlike President Obama, Romney would not have false hopes about engagement with so-called rogue nations and would use a credible threat of violence.
RICH WILLIAMSON: The fundamental differences about a naive faith in engagement and a dangerous reliance on the Security Council versus having an approach where you have strength, where you're willing to lead, and where you have strong relationships with our friends and allies.
NORTHAM: Romney demonstrated that approach during a Republican debate last year, when he knocked Mr. Obama for his handling of Iran's controversial nuclear program.
ROMNEY: Look, one thing you can know, and that is if we reelect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. And if we elect Mitt Romney, if you elect me as the next president, they will not have a nuclear weapon.
NORTHAM: But Alterman says when pressed Romney could not offer up a strategy that was much different from President Obama's. Alterman says over course of the campaign, Romney has made conflicting statements about foreign policy. Regarding Syria, he suggested that President Obama be more aggressive, yet Romney also suggested that he would not be anxious to use military force there. Richard Stoll, a professor of political science at Rice University in Houston, says few presidential candidates or presidents have a background in foreign policy and they have to rely on their advisors.
RICHARD STOLL: And if you look at Romney's advisors, they are sort of a collection of people, many of whom are sort of known within the foreign policy community - they tend to be kind of hardliners.
NORTHAM: Analysts say some in the Republican establishment are concerned about this hardline approach. In one of his political ads, Romney says if he's elected, on day one he will declare China a currency manipulator. And some of Romney's comments hark back to the Cold War. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called him out on it during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program.
NORTHAM: Powell has not endorsed Romney nor have other Republican foreign policy heavyweights, such as Henry Kissinger or Brent Scowcroft. But last week, two former secretaries of state did - Condoleezza Rice and George Schultz. Rice University's Stoll says Romney's forward-leaning positions may have to be tempered if he gets into office.
STOLL: I think any candidate, Republican or Democrat, wants to portray things as being somewhat simple, but then once you get into office it's a lot more complicated.
NORTHAM: And Stoll says Romney has five months before the election to better articulate his message. Jackie Northam, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Fun news today, readers! Since publishing my first book last year, I'm not wasting any time to do a couple more. My fabulous publisher has signed me up for TWO more books, yay! The next one is coming out in fall 2014 (which sounds far away, but is scarily close) and will focus on the theme of "vintage casual." I'm in the thick of writing and designing the patterns for it now, so I thought I'd share a bit of my research and process with you.
When I was planning the first book, many of you asked for a pattern for pants (better known as trousers, for those of you of the British persuasion). I wanted to comply, but came to the realization that a pant pattern would pull me too far from the couture theme of the first book, and require a lot of extra content (fitting, for instance) that I hadn't planned on. Caroline, my genius agent, suggested saving that trouser pattern for another book, and perhaps even focusing on casual clothing exclusively. I loved the idea. So here I am, writing it.
It's the perfect timing too, since my life has gotten decidedly more casual since writing my first book. But I still want to wear cute vintage stuff! So I'm designing a bunch of patterns that are easy and comfy to wear, while still maintaing a retro vibe. Not necessarily just pants, either! I'm talking skirts and dresses that are more at home at a picnic than a cocktail party.
Without giving too much away, I wanted to share a few of my main inspirations.
Rosie the Riveter is essential to the spirit of the book. Never has vintage casual looked so badass.
If I were to choose one inspirational designer, it would be Claire McCardell. Her cotton dresses and easy separates were revolutionary in their time.
Did you know she had 30 pairs of beige garbardine trousers in her wardrobe at the time of her death? I've never been a huge fan of beige pants, but perhaps I need to reconsider.
Another huge inspiration is coordinate wardrobes. Don't you love this type of vintage pattern?
That's pretty much all I can give away at the moment. I hope you are as excited as I am about this! More to come, of course.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
South African Airways and Etihad Airways Forge Strategic Partnership
• South African Airways to codeshare on 12 Etihad Airways flights to Abu Dhabi and beyond • Etihad Airways to have access to 10 cities in South Africa and African continent • Airlines to explore joint procurement, training and maintenance opportunities • Provision for reciprocal 'earn and burn' with frequent flyer programmes
Johannesburg, Monday 6 May 2013. South African Airways (SAA) and Etihad Airways have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) allowing the two airlines to introduce a comprehensive range of codeshare and interline air services as well as explore synergy and efficiency opportunities.
Initially South African Airways will place its 'SA' code on 12 Etihad Airways destinations flying from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) national carrier's Abu Dhabi home-base. Additional cities in the Middle East, Asia and India will be added as the necessary approvals are secured.
In return Etihad Airways will place its 'EY' code on flights from Johannesburg to 10 SAA destinations across South Africa, Africa and South America.
The agreement also makes provision for passengers to earn and redeem miles through the airlines' frequent flyer programmes.
Secondary phases of the cooperation agreement will explore code sharing to more cities, closer synergies and efficiencies in the key commercial areas of procurement, ground handling as well as training.
Nico Bezuidenhout, SAA's acting Chief Executive Officer, said: "This extensive commercial agreement will enable SAA to access the vast majority of Etihad Airways global markets. We are pleased to build upon the commercial areas of the agreement which are fundamental to a modern airline partnership.
Ms Dudu Myeni, SAA's acting Chairperson, said: "This partnership provides SAA customers with vital, instantaneous, and seamless access to 12 key destinations in the Middle East and beyond. It will also broaden SAA's network through alliances and strategic partnerships, which, is our long term view."
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "This impressive, multilayered, partnership will enable Etihad Airways and South African Airways to achieve significant goals in several different global markets as well as collaborate on a number of key commercial initiatives.
"This strategy, of working closely with partner airlines to serve secondary cities in a market, has been highly successful for Etihad Airways around the world and we look forward to build upon our already strong relationship with the team at South African Airways to extend our footprint in the strategically critical African market."
The first phase of the agreement will see the 'SA' code placed on the Etihad Airways flights between Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi, as well as on flights to 12 cities on Etihad Airways' worldwide network that includes destinations in the Middle East, and South America.
Etihad Airways will place its 'EY' code on South African Airways' flights from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth, as well as to Livingston, Lusaka, Ndola, Harare, and Victoria Falls. Outside the African continent Etihad Airways will place its code on South African Airways flights to Sao Paulo.
Collectively, the two airline groups expect to carry more than 20 million passengers in 2013.
The agreed cooperation between the two airlines is in line with Etihad Airways' highly successful global alliance strategy in which the Abu Dhabi-based airline works with partner airlines to identify potential areas of cost savings as well as opportunities to achieve economies of scale.
About SAA South African Airways (SAA) is the leading carrier in Africa, serving 26 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa and internationally from its Johannesburg hub. It is a member of the largest international airline network, Star Alliance. SAA's core business is the provision of passenger airline and cargo transport services together with related services, which are provided through SAA and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: SAA Technical; Mango its low cost carrier; Air Chefs, the catering entity of SAA and South African Travel Centre (SATC).

Partners In Foot Health P.C.
What is the Calcaneus? The calcaneus, also called the heel bone, is a large bone that forms the foundation of the rear part of the foot. The calcaneus connects with the talus and cuboid bones. The connection between the talus and calcaneus forms the subtalar joint. This joint is important for normal foot function.
The calcaneus is often compared to a hard boiled egg, because it has a thin, hard shell on the outside and softer, spongy bone on the inside. When the outer shell is broken, the bone tends to collapse and become fragmented. For this reason, calcaneal fractures are severe injuries. Furthermore, if the fracture involves the joints, there is the potential for long-term consequences such as arthritis and chronic pain.
How do Calcaneal Fractures Occur? Most calcaneal fractures are the result of a traumatic event—most commonly, falling from a height, such as a ladder, or being in an automobile accident where the heel is crushed against the floorboard. Calcaneal fractures can also occur with other types of injuries, such as an ankle sprain. A smaller number of calcaneal fractures are stress fractures, caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the heel bone.
Types of Calcaneal Fractures Fractures of the calcaneus may or may not involve the subtalar and surrounding joints. Fractures involving the joints (intra-articular fractures) are the most severe calcaneal fractures, and include damage to the cartilage (the connective tissue between two bones). The outlook for recovery depends on how severely the calcaneus was crushed at the time of injury.
Fractures that don't involve the joint (extra-articular fractures) include:
The severity and treatment of extra-articular fractures depend on their location and size.
Signs and Symptoms Calcaneal fractures produce different signs and symptoms, depending on whether they are traumatic or stress fractures.
The signs and symptoms of traumatic fractures may include:
The signs and symptoms of stress fractures may include:
Diagnosis To diagnose and evaluate a calcaneal fracture, the foot and ankle surgeon will ask questions about how the injury occurred, examine the affected foot and ankle, and order x-rays. In addition, advanced imaging tests are commonly required.
Treatment Treatment of calcaneal fractures is dictated by the type of fracture and extent of the injury. The foot and ankle surgeon will discuss with the patient the best treatment—whether surgical or non-surgical—for the fracture.
For some fractures, non-surgical treatments may be used. These include:
For traumatic fractures, treatment often involves surgery to reconstruct the joint, or in severe cases, to fuse the joint. The surgeon will choose the best surgical approach for the patient.
Rehabilitation Whether the treatment for a calcaneal fracture has been surgical or non-surgical, physical therapy often plays a key role in regaining strength and restoring function.
Complications of Calcaneal Fractures Calcaneal fractures can be serious injuries that may produce lifelong problems. Arthritis, stiffness, and pain in the joint frequently develop. Sometimes the fractured bone fails to heal in the proper position. Other possible long-term consequences ofcalcaneal fractures are decreased ankle motion and walking with alimp due to collapse of the heel bone and loss of length in the leg. Patients often require additional surgery and/or long term or permanent use of a brace or an orthotic device (arch support) to help manage these complications.

Can I Buy a Business With No Collateral
At first glance the idea of buying a business with no collateral may seem impossible, but in reality it can be done. Let's examine your options. When it comes to achieving this goal, your greatest assets are an open mind and a commitment to hanging in there despite the odds.
The Small Business Association's 7 (a) Program is Your Friend
One possible avenue for buying a business with zero collateral is to opt for the SBA's 7 (a) program, which works to incentivize the bank to make a loan to a prospective buyer. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 75%. The buyer still has to put in 25%; however, this money doesn't necessarily have to be his or her money. This is where things really get interesting. The cash that the buyer uses can come from investors or even be a gift from parents in the case of young buyers. These possibilities all fall within the SBA's guidelines.
Look into Seller Financing, You Might Be Surprised
There is a second way to buy a business with no collateral, and that comes in the form of finding a seller who is willing to finance. Again, this might seem counter intuitive at first glance. But the facts are that a large percentage of sellers do agree to offer some level of financing. So in other words, seller financing is not unheard of and stands as a viable way for a prospective buyer to buy without collateral.
Combining Seller Financing and the SBA's 7 (a) Program
Combining the SBA's 7 (a) program with seller financing can prove to be a powerful combination. It is important to note, however, that if you do use the SBA's 7 (a) program the seller cannot receive his or her repayment for two years.
Persistence Pays
Ultimately, you will likely need to be rather persistent when trying to find a bank. Rejection is likely. But if you are persistent, it is possible to make the SBA's 7 (a) program work for you.
One key way to keep yourself motivated is to constantly remember that jumping through some hurdles is all part of the process since you're trying to circumvent the traditional route of using collateral. But working relentlessly may be worth it because if you are successful, you have acquired a tangible asset without any collateral of your own. That is no small accomplishment.
Don't be afraid to ask for advice from S.C.O.R.E., the Small Business Administration (SBA), or an experienced business broker. While it might sound very unlikely that you'll be able to buy a business without collateral, plenty of people have successfully done so.

First there's something about a cycling community or whatever:
And then there's something about being stylish, and urban cycling, and more about community, and so on:
Oh, and "iterations" or something:
But then, there are panties:
And look! More styles of panties!
Then they keep showing panties and saying panties and it's just panties, panties, panties:
And there's your 38 grand:
And that's how you Kickstart.
By the way, I'm going to go ahead and assume at least 37 of those grands came from Japan.
You know, 'cause they're way into panties over there.
Panties like these panties:
And don't give me any crap about being sexist. You want to see some men's cycling panties? Here you go:
See that bulge? That's his penis and testicles.
Deal with it.
Wait, what's that, you say? All of this makes you uncomfortable and you wanna keep in unisex? Fine, done:
I like the diagram that shows you how the chamois will aerate your vulva, labia, scranus, vulvanus, pubic mound, glans, testicles, or whatever you've got down there, thereby minimizing or eliminating the prodution of smegma, frumunda, fungus, "cottage cheese," dingleberries, and other cycling-related crotchal by-products:
But be warned that it takes years to build up the sort of perineal callus that Mario Cipollini has. Seriously, it's like he's smuggling a turtle down there.
Or so I've heard.
Meanwhile, in non-panty-related news, a New York City mayoral candidate is actually pandering to the cycling demographic:
Bill de Blasio
Citibike or fixed-gear? Make sure you know how you're getting to the polls: HTTP://BLAS.IO/MAKEAPLAN
I'm actually riding my dedicated voting bike, unless there's gravel along the route, in which case obviously I'll have to purchase the appropriate gravel bike.
I'll also be wearing my Urbanist cycling panties, because without an adequate chamois it could be a real suffrage-fest.
Lastly, who says the NYPD only busts cyclists?
Basically, this douchebag who calls himself "Afroduck" filmed himself circumnavigating Manhattan in his BMW in 24 minutes, and consequently the police tracked him down and arrested him.
Of course, Afroduck's crucial mistake was not killing a cyclist in the process, because if he had the NYPD would have simply declared "no criminality suspected" and let him go.
Still, I suppose it's heartening they arrested him--though it's worth noting the police didn't actually bother him while he was doing it, presumably because they were too busy ticketing people on Citi Bikes rolling through stop signs at three miles per hour.
And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right you'll know, and and if you're wrong you'll see "fighting."
Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and wear your panties.

This paper provides a brief description of the IMF and its activities, focusing in particular on its technical assistance (TA) activities. The report then describes in greater detail the Japan Administered Account for Selected Fund Activities (JSA)—including its scope and objectives, the size and uses of the TA contribution, and assessments of its TA activities and scholarship programs—with a focus on fiscal year (FY) 2009. Japan has provided grant contributions to support IMF technical assistance to member countries since 1990. In 1997, the scope of the administered account was widened to allow for financing other IMF activities in Asia and the Pacific, carried out through the IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in Tokyo. Regular consultations are held between the IMF and the Japanese authorities; the most recent formal meeting took place in April 2009. The use of JSA resources is flexible. JSA funds can be used to cover the cost of short- and long-term TA experts and other costs associated with conducting seminars and workshops, such as room rental fees.

Safe medical material
All SnDoll sex dolls are produced with healthy and sustainable materials. All of our TPE sex dolls are constructed of TPE for medical use. There is less oil seepage, no strange odor, a soft and elastic skin texture that closely matches human skin, and safety for the human body. It is less expensive than silicone but less resilient and stain-resistant. For effective cleaning and maintenance, more care is needed. Our silicone dolls have a medium firmness. The heads of our dolls are delicate and feel like human heads. In order to replicate the genuine, silky feel of real skin, the doll's skin has been finely detailed, including blood vessels, wrinkled skin around the joints, and skin texture. Special treatments are used to make the vagina, buttocks, and breasts feel soft and cozy. It has undergone treatment to make it feel life-like, very light and comfortable. She is more expensive than TPE, but still worth every penny.Oral, Vaginal, and Anus
Most of our sex dolls have mouths, anuses, and vaginas. Please keep in mind that a standard silicone head cannot be used for oral sex. To suit the needs and experiences of customers, every feature of the doll has been meticulously reconstructed to replicate the internal structure of human organs. She flawlessly matches the size of the customers' genitals, creating the impression that they are having sex with a real person.Comparison of hollow vs solid vs Gel breasts
* Solid Breasts: These breasts are made of the same substance as the body. Although a little less flexible, the kneading comfort is stronger. * Hollow Breasts: Some parts of these breasts are hollow. Such breasts are softer and more comfortable to touch. But because a portion of the breast is empty, the durability isn't really high. * Gel Breasts: The breasts are injected with gel. Compared to solid breasts, gel breasts are softer. In comparison to a hollow chest, it feels softer and more robust. Note that solid breasts are the sole option for dolls with small breasts.Standing vs non standing
By default, the love dolls that SnDoll sells are not able to stand. The doll can stand for a short period of time if its center of gravity is changed and it is supported by something. You risk damaging the legs or making the doll fall if you try to force the sex doll to stand. We do not encourage this conduct. Selecting the stand option from the customization choices is advised. On the soles of their feet, TPE love dolls often feature three metal bolts. Additionally, some silicone doll producers utilise tougher silicone for the feet to enable standing functions . Standing sex is not advised since even a love doll with a standing feature should not be used for extended periods of time (wear shoes while standing and pay attention to foot care).Heating vs no heating
Sex dolls with a heating feature can simulate a real person's body temperature. Make sex more pleasurable for yourself. Through the heating wire incorporated into the body, the sex doll's heating function is accomplished. Every manufacturer has ineffective heating equipment just to be safe. As a result, the love doll typically takes 50 to 60 minutes or longer to reach a temperature that is comparable to that of a human.
Doll Care
1. To avoid ripping the skin, we advise using a "water-based lubricant" when entering the vaginal, anal, and oral canals. Obviously, using a condom is preferable. 2. Avoid putting pressure on your love doll's hands or wrists if you prefer the doggy position. Protect her hand by placing pillows, a comforter, or other soft materials beneath her to support the torso of your sex doll. 3. The realistic sex doll is flexible and can take a variety of poses thanks to her metal skeleton, which includes a number of fixed and adjustable joints. However, we advise against putting actual sex dolls in awkward positions; avoiding using sharp objects, fire, and hair dryers since they will injure the dolls' skin; and avoiding straining the dolls' limbs or applying excessive force on them because this could harm their sensitive skin and skeleton. 4. All sex dolls need to be washed after having sex. You can wash her in the shower or with water, but be careful not to let her head or neck go under the water. You can gently wipe the face of your doll with a moist cloth and mild antibacterial soap if you want to clean it. 5. Use the supplied brush to apply baby powder after her skin has dried naturally to keep it silky and soft.

Princeton University awarded honorary degrees during Commencement exercises Tuesday, May 31, to six distinguished individuals for their contributions to athletics, human rights, clinical research, education, the humanities, the arts and the law.
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman awarded degrees to Henry "Hank" Aaron, baseball Hall-of-Famer; Geoffrey Canada, champion for children in Harlem; Susan Desmond-Hellmann, clinical researcher and chancellor of the University of California-San Francisco; Charles Gillispie, Princeton's Dayton Stockton Professor of History Emeritus; Judith Jamison, dancer and choreographer and artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; and Princeton alumnus Robert Rawson Jr., legal expert and long-serving member of the University's Board of Trustees.
The following is biographical information on the recipients and the official citations.
Henry Aaron, Doctor of Humanities
Henry "Hank" Aaron is one of the most accomplished baseball players in American history and is currently senior vice president of the Atlanta Braves. As a player entering Major League Baseball soon after its integration in 1954, he confronted racism with quiet dignity, and as an executive he has fought discrimination in hiring practices. Aaron surpassed Babe Ruth to become the all-time home-run king in 1974, and with his 755 total home runs he held the title until 2007. Over a 23-year career, he also set records for games played, at bats, total bases, extra-base hits and runs batted in. Aaron was the first player to reach 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. A .305 lifetime batter who finished with 3,771 hits, he was voted the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1957, won three Gold Gloves for his defensive play in right field and was named to 25 All-Star teams.
Before retiring in 1976, Aaron played for the Milwaukee Braves, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers, after stints in the Negro American League and the minor leagues. He won a World Series championship with the Milwaukee Braves in 1957. After he finished his playing career, his uniform number, 44, was retired in Milwaukee and Atlanta. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, and in 1999, the same year Aaron was named to the All-Century Team, Major League Baseball established the Hank Aaron Award for the best regular season offensive performance. Aaron received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002.
He was 17 when he left Alabama and embarked on one of the greatest careers in baseball history, beginning in the Negro American League. When he joined the major league Milwaukee Braves, his signing bonus was a cardboard suitcase. When he retired after 23 major league seasons, he probably held the record for the most records held, including the record for career home runs at 755. As he approached Babe Ruth's record of 714, he received almost a million letters, many of them abusive. Today America is a much better place with much more opportunity for all, in part because he gave all of us an imperishable example of grace under pressure.
Geoffrey Canada, Doctor of Laws
Geoffrey Canada, who grew up on welfare in New York's South Bronx, is known for his pioneering work helping children and families in Harlem, and as a passionate advocate for education reform. Since 1990 he has been chief executive officer of Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), which targets a specific geographic area in Central Harlem with a comprehensive range of services. These include asthma prevention plans; fresh-produce deliveries; dental, medical and psychiatric care; after-school arts and music programs; tenant-ownership schemes; early-childhood education; charter schools; and counseling for parents. The goal of HCZ is to create a neighborhood "tipping point" through which its programs support the community environment and benefit even those children not involved with the Children's Zone. Today the HCZ Project covers 100 city blocks and serves 8,000 children.
Canada has received numerous accolades for his work, including the first Heinz Award in 1994, the Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education Award in 2004 and the Jefferson Award for Public Service in 2007. In April he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine. In 2006 Canada was selected by Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City, to serve as co-chair of the Commission on Economic Opportunity, which was asked to formulate a plan to significantly reduce poverty.
He came of age in the violence and chaos of the South Bronx, and then found a road out through education. With degrees from Bowdoin and Harvard, he traveled back to those embattled neighborhoods, committed to helping disadvantaged children forge pathways out of poverty. Under his leadership, the Harlem Children's Zone has grown from a pilot project supporting a single block to a nationally extolled initiative that rebuilds communities over 100 blocks and helps children stay on track through college and into the job market. Throughout his career, he has lived the lines of his own 1996 poem: "To say to the children in this land: / Have hope. We're here."
Susan Desmond-Hellmann, Doctor of Science
Susan Desmond-Hellmann has served as chancellor of the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF), one of the nation's most distinguished academic medical centers, since 2009. From 2004 to 2009 she was president of product development at Genentech, with wide-ranging responsibilities for bringing drugs from the laboratory bench to the market. Among the promising and innovative oncology drugs she oversaw are Rituxan, which treats both lymphomas and rheumatoid arthritis; Herceptin, which targets a specific subtype of breast cancer; and Avastin, which is designed to stop tumors by preventing the formation of new blood vessels.
Desmond-Hellmann joined Genentech in 1995 as a clinical scientist. Previously she was associate director of clinical research at the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute. She also has served as associate adjunct professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF and spent two years as a visiting faculty member at the Uganda Cancer Institute, studying HIV/AIDS and cancer. Desmond-Hellmann was appointed to the California Academy of Sciences board of trustees in 2008 and named to the Biotech Hall of Fame in 2007. She often has appeared in Fortune magazine's list of the top 50 most powerful women in business.
Her lifelong dedication to medicine led to a stellar career as an oncologist, clinical scientist and one of the world's most accomplished businesswomen. Now chancellor of the University of California-San Francisco, she is applying to the public sector the experience and wisdom she gained as a physician-scientist in the United States and Africa; as a world leader in the development of groundbreaking drugs effective against common human cancers; and as a senior executive of the world's most successful biotechnology company. Her career exemplifies the breakthroughs that can occur when scientists and physicians work together to create new knowledge and then translate it into effective medicines.
Charles Gillispie, Doctor of Humane Letters
Charles Gillispie joined Princeton's faculty in 1947 and transferred to emeritus status in 1987. Gillispie, a recognized expert in the life and setting of scientific technological activity in 18th-century France, established Princeton's Program in History of Science and served as director from 1960 to 1966 and 1976 to 1980; he also was chair of the Department of History from 1971 to 1973. With his colleague Thomas Kuhn, he gave impetus to the founding of the field of history and philosophy of science as an academic discipline. He was editor-in-chief of the Dictionary of Scientific Biography, a 16-volume landmark series that won the American Library Association's 1981 Dartmouth Medal for outstanding reference works. His other seminal publications include "The Edge of Objectivity: An Essay in the History of Scientific Ideas" and "Science and Polity in France: The End of the Old Regime," winner of the History of Science Society's Pfizer Award.
Gillispie also is a founding and current adviser for the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Scholarship, which is one of the highest awards given to Princeton undergraduates. Gillispie's numerous honors include the International Balzan Prize for History and Philosophy of Science in 1997, the History of Science Society's George Sarton Medal in 1984 for lifetime scholarly achievement, Princeton's Howard T. Behrman Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Humanities in 1981, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1954 and, on his retirement, election as an honorary member of the Princeton class of 1960.
In both life and work, he tempers the precision of science with the grace of the humanities, bridging the two cultures with uncommon intelligence and style. A founder of his field, the history of science, at Princeton and around the world, he has made contributions that are literally encyclopedic. He personifies the iconic "professor" with his uncompromising scholarly standards, his unparalleled devotion to the Sachs Scholars and his unwavering commitment to the bowtie and the plaid. Generations of students, and Princeton herself, have flourished under his steady tutelage and his gentle guidance.
Judith Jamison, Doctor of Fine Arts
Dancer and choreographer Judith Jamison will retire in June as the artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, one of the world's most successful modern-dance troupes, which she has led since 1989. Jamison made her New York debut with the American Ballet Theatre in 1964 after being discovered by Agnes de Mille. She soon joined Alvin Ailey's company, where she was a member for 15 years, dancing some of Ailey's most memorable parts, most notably the solo "Cry."
Jamison has appeared as a guest artist with ballet companies all over the world and in 1988 formed her own company, The Jamison Project. Appointed in 1989 as Ailey's heir, Jamison raised a multimillion-dollar endowment for the company and facilitated a move to its first permanent home in New York, the Joan Weill Center for Dance, in 2004. She has promoted the work of women by developing the Women's Choreography Initiative, and, as artistic director of the dance company's Ailey School, helped implement a multicultural curriculum that incorporates dances of West Africa and South Asia. Jamison has received numerous honors and awards, including the Kennedy Center Honors in 1999, a National Medal of Arts in 2001 and the Paul Robeson Award in 2004.
"Cry," that most soul-piercing human sound, can express the pain of loss or sorrow, or can proclaim the exhilaration of victory or joy. She danced the word, and in this, as in all of her solo performances, she helps us feel and understand the human condition in its many manifestations. She believes in the power of dance to transform, and for more than 20 years she has transformed countless lives as teacher and choreographer, as legendary dancer and adventurous leader of one of the world's premier dance companies. As she now retires as its artistic director, we thank her for the beauty she has given us by giving her our heartfelt applause.
Robert Rawson Jr., Doctor of Laws
Robert Rawson served from 1985 to 2005 on Princeton's Board of Trustees, including 13 years as chair of its executive committee. During his tenure serving three Princeton presidents, the University adopted its no-loan financial aid policy, designed the four-year college system now in place and renewed many beloved campus buildings. While he was chair of the executive committee, the University celebrated its 250th anniversary, and the Anniversary Campaign for Princeton raised $1.14 billion. He chaired the search that selected Shirley M. Tilghman as president.
A 1966 Princeton graduate who majored in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Rawson was a Rhodes Scholar before earning his law degree from Harvard University. Rawson is a partner at the Jones Day law firm, where he is highly regarded as a litigator, with particular expertise in antitrust matters. He was partner-in-charge of the Cleveland office for 15 years. He currently serves as the interim dean of the Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where he has made his top priorities raising funds for scholarships and enhancing the school's career services. His contributions to education also include service as a trustee of the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education, as vice chair of the board of trustees of Cleveland State University and as past chair of the Cleveland Initiative for Education, which marshals private resources in aid of the Cleveland Public Schools. Rawson is a life trustee of the National Civic League and a member of the board of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.
Consummate counselor, civic leader and trustee par excellence, he has demonstrated rare vision, wisdom and courage in shaping the young people, institutions and communities to which he has devoted his life. Today we honor him especially for his years of devoted service to his alma mater. A trustee under three presidents and for an exceptional 13 years the leader of the Board of Trustees as chair of its executive committee, he deftly guided this University through transformative change, while also holding firm to its core values and strengths. Under his stewardship, the University deepened its commitments to excellence and access; his legacy is an institution held in trust to serve the public good -- ever new, and enduringly, "the best old place of all."
