Behind the Scenes - The Walsh Factory
Wednesday, 5th Jun 2013
Introducing the Walsh Lostock Shoe to our ongoing Friends of Fred project.
Fred Perry took a visit to the Walsh Bolton workshop to meet the small team, Pete, Jon, Lynne, Michelle and Harry and to watch the Lostock manufacturing process from start to finish.
Walsh trainers are considered the original specialised running shoe. Founder, Norman Walsh began his training as a shoemaker in 1945, just three years later he was asked to make sprinting shoes for the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Following the creation of Walsh footwear brand in 1961, Norman collaborated with numerous athletes to create world leading performance styles.
This season's casual style Lostock shoe draws influence from Walsh's performance roots. Crafted from durable nylon and suede, the classic three colour sports upper features a lightweight EVA sole unit and a Walsh label on the tongue and side wall.
At the very beginning of the process Pete creates paper patterns for the uppers, once he is happy with the design and sizes, he goes on to make a set of templates, known as knives. The knives, made from metal, do not look too dissimilar to a giant biscuit cutter. There can be 8 knives for every upper and every size requires its' own set. The knives fix to a special machine which presses them into sheets of material to create the individual parts.
Lynne stitches the pieces of nylon and suede together to create a flat shoe. A mould is then used and heat applied, to stiffen the heel (officially called 'closing'). At this point the shoe starts to take form.
The upper is slipped around an anatomical mould of the foot known as a last. A lightweight insole is inserted; the shoe is then mechanically bound to the last and into its' final recognisable shape.
The final part of the process is known as 'soling'. The sole is glued to the upper and the complete shoe is fed onto a conveyor belt, which leads into a big oven. The shoe comes out, cools down and gets given the final treatment - a tag, laces, a tissue paper wrapping and a box.
For this seasons' Friends of Fred, the handcrafted Lostock shoe is available in two colour options, Regal and Rosso (show below).

Behind the scenes at the George Cox factory
Monday, 24th Sep 2012
Fred Perry are pleased to announce the release of two new exclusive George Cox footwear styles, as part of our on-going Friends of Fred project. Established in 1906 in Northamptonshire, the home of British shoemaking, George Cox has built a reputation for their uncompromising craftsmanship and traditional values on quality. Keen to see the process involved in making each shoe; we took a visit to the factory to see British manufacturing at its best.
The company, famed for its creeper styles, utilises a production process known as Goodyear Welting. The hands-on nature of this construction means that the shoes take much longer to produce than those made using wholly mechanised techniques. Whilst many modern manufactured shoes have their soles simply glued on, the Goodyear welting process involves several stages of sealing with each shoe individually finished by a skilled craftsman. Whilst at the George Cox factory, we witnessed the production of the new women's Friends of Fred Gibson shoe from beginning to end.
Firstly, the suede or leather hide is selected and the upper shoe pattern cut out by hand. In footwear production this initial stage is known as 'clicking' and calls for great skill and precision. Once the suede has been cut to shape, the pieces - including the lining - are stitched together and then stretched and shaped over the last. Each shoe style has a different last, created with individual characteristics, and it's this shaping tool that replicates the anatomical information of the foot and gives the shoe its sturdy, recognisable finish.
A welt (a strip of material) is then stitched to the upper and inner sole holding all the pieces firmly together. Next, the bottom of the shoe is compacted with a special filler to create a flat surface, whilst also adding insulation. Now the whole upper part of the shoe is complete, the soles are carefully trimmed and stitched to the welt. The final stages of making the shoe involves the stitching, fixing and attachment of the heel; overall polishing and one last examination, ensuring everything is as it should be before carefully boxing.
For the Autumn/Winter Friends of Fred selection, George Cox have created two suede styles: a men's lace-up creeper and the women's Gibson style (pictured) available in sweetcorn or black.

Friends of Fred - Welcome Porte Monnaie
Monday, 17th Sep 2012
Fred Perry are pleased to welcome Porte Monnaie to our Friends of Fred selection for Autumn; an on-going project that looks to British labels and craftsmen that share our appreciation of the design and making processes, along with a particular attention to detail. Port Monnaie specialise in the creation of handcrafted wallets, combining both innovative and traditional materials and a minimalist approach to design, that results in a unique and considered product. Three exclusive designs have been produced especially for Fred Perry, including the Tipped Wallet, offering a playful take on our traditional tipped shirts.
Founder and lead craftsman Nick Bond studied menswear design at London's Central St Martins, before taking an interest in the construction of lightweight, functional accessories. 'Porte Monnaie' literally translates to 'purse' or 'wallet'; with Nick's designs taking an almost architectural blueprint that is reminiscent of traditional origami shapes. The clean lines and precision applied to each wallet reflects Nick's own personal taste, with his live-work studio nestled in East London a perfect example of this aesthetic. The sky-lit space is neatly dressed with artfully stacked shelves and a wooden work bench, set against a back drop of carefully compiled mood boards, paints, pots and brushes.
What makes Porte Monnaie wallets so special is the truly manual process of their production. The backbone of the wallet is produced using flash spun high density polyethylene fibres; a cutting-edge material that has a paper like tactility and is fully recyclable. Each design is hand printed or painted and takes a week to dry before being finished using locally sourced russet leather. Though the construction of each wallet is a delicate process, the unique fabrication is surprisingly strong, making these handmade wallets ideal as gifts or investment pieces.
Once complete, every wallet is carefully wrapped in Porte Monnaie tissue paper and presented in a black card box with a gold embossed lid.
Porte Monnaie wallets are available now online and in our Laurel Wreath Collection shops.

Recommend The Best Non-Incandescent Light Bulbs?
Good Questions
Q: My partner and I are starting over after a catastrophic fire (everyone's fine, thank goodness). We've decided that we want the feel of our new apartment to be "Scandinavian cozy," and I have a horrible prejudice against non-incandescent bulbs. They make me feel like I'm in an institutional cafeteria. Does anyone have specific advice (brands, types, wattages) for light bulbs that will help us feel warm in our new place?

I have the same problem as you. I hate that bright white light from non-incandescent bulbs, but I'm also concerned about a good use of energy at my home. I've got some incandescent bulbs at my house, but for small lighting I choose halogen light, which spends much less energy and is warmer. And I've got a bedside lamp with one of this bulbs from Ikea:
These bulbs give a very warmer light than normal non-incandescent bulbs, but saving energy.
I hope I've been helpful. :-)
You can get daylight bulbs in both fluorescent and incandescent. They provide a nice, even spectrum of light, leaning toward bright and clean, rather than dingy.
I think one really helpful thing to do is to change all your bulbs to low-energy at the same time. Because the colour is different to incandescent bulbs and if you are going from a room lit by incandescent bulbs into a room lit by low-energy bulbs then the transition is awful. But if your whole place is lit by low-energy bulbs then every room is the same "colour" and so you don't really notice the different colour to the light.
Don't buy bulbs that are coiled (like the one pictured), buy ones that have a smooth bulb as they give a better colour light in my experience. Also don't buy "softtone" bulbs as they give a really quite orange light, whereas the normal low-energy bulbs give a more white light.
The light can be very harsh though and I think it works better if you can diffuse it through a fabric shade or by bouncing it off a wall or ceiling. Polypropelyne lightshades do a great job of softening the light, but otherwise I would steer clear of any white shades (especially white glass). For some reason lower wattage low-energy bulbs seem to give off a whiter light, so even though they are dimmer they are not softer. Again I would recommend polypropelyne shades which soften it up nicely.
(By polypropelyne I mean plastic, like for example the Ikea Fillsta - http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/40154415)
I agree with the shade solution. I too hate the light from the low energy bulbs, but because they are well, low-energy I have started using them. I find that with really great lamp shades (I covered my plain ones with really great Trina Turk fabric) you don't notice the brightness of the light and the shades are so pretty!
Try LED bulbs. CFLs are actually bad for your health and I personally hate being in a room with them (though our apartment has over 18 of them somehow). I've been wanting to get LED bulbs for a while now but they're expensive -- about $50 a pop. But they will literally last you for the rest of your life. Literally. You will probably be able to pass them down to your children. Try getting one or two for your most-used rooms maybe, if the price is daunting. They come in lots of different temperatures. Try here: http://www.kuuala.com/
I meant to add that they're even more energy efficient than CFLs so it pays off, unlike incandescents. So even though there's a big upfront cost, your savings are in your energy bill.
Also, if you have a Home Depot or Lowes you can go to they have a display area in the light bulb section that shows the different colors of light. I got CF bulbs that give off the same shade of light that my incandescent blubs used to. -Before I saw the display I purchased some that were terrible (practically blue) and I had to offer them on free cycle.
I got the ones I have all over my apartment at Costco. The brand is Feit Electric, I think, and I got the pack of four 100W replacements that use only 23W. They are the coil style and don't turn on immediately, but there's only a second or two delay and I barely notice it anymore. I love these bulbs. The back of the box lists the color temperature as "soft white," and my lampshades are all creamy linen colored so the light is just soft enough for me. They even look great in the bedroom!
I saw a bunch of options at Target when I was out looking for these, but I ended up going with the ones from Costco simply because they had a rebate that made them cheaper.
We bought this one: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202530170/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
Its crazy expensive, but warm and bright. And it will last 10 years. After trying 2 types of LED, one CFL, and the standard incandescents, this was the winner.
Thanks for all this info. The "new" bulbs make me feel like I am going blind, not appreciated! I didn't realize there are all these options out there.
I also hate CFLs. I have made peace with them in some places, but I went out and bought incandescent bulbs for all my sconces...for CFLs I have found one that I like better than others (in lamps, not overheads), details at http://tiny.cc/egltc
There is a new range of CFLs that come in soft white and daylight. Both are MUCH better than the cold old style. I particularly like the soft white; it lights like an incandescent. We found ours at the neighborhood hardware store.
My partner and I are also starting over after a devastating fire. I feel your pain. I also have a strong preference for incandescent light. We are twins!
In my opinion, I think Verilux bulbs are the best. You can get them at nearly every hardware store in the city, but Bed, Bath & Beyond has slightly better prices.
I actually think the best price is direct from Verlux.
I'm also a STRONG believer that every light should have a dimmer switch.
Does anyone have suggestions for chandelier light bulbs? I can handle CFLs in lights with a shade of some kind, but I'm at a loss for the light fixtures that have an exposed bulb.
I think lighting is very personal. The only way to figure out what you like is to try different things. The advice to go check out a hardware store with lit bulbs on display is great. Personally, I despise warm, yellow light and prefer a very bright, white light. The problem I've had is finding CFLs that are bright enough for me. The lower wattage ones (equiv. to 40 or 60 watt incandescent bulbs) are very common, but the higher wattage ones (equiv. to 100 wt incandescents) are harder to find. I've used many different brands, from GE to IKEA, and am fine with pretty much all of them.
I haven't tried it yet but plan on getting the Zetalux warm (they make a cold and a warm). It is an LED which is the most efficent and earth friendly and doesn't have a warm-up time like CFLs which is endlessly annoying. Plus you can get it in a warm light, which I also prefer. It looks like they are cheapest here - they apparently last for 10 years +.
I can't stand the institution glow of the coil bulbs. I actually light my house with traditional high energy, non cost savings light bulbs. Call me crazy.
The trick to using CFL or any flourescent in a "homey - warm" space is the Kelvin, or color temperature, of the bulb you purchase. It should be listed on the box as a 5 digit number followed by a K.
The lower the number, the warmer the light emitted by the bulb. DO NOT purchase "daylight" labled bulbs, this is a very loose term, and in some cases will give you much cooler light than you may expect. "warm white" is more preferable, but to be sure, check the Kelvin. Should be 2700K - 3100K for warmest light. Anything from 3100K - 4700K is going to give you those nice grey-blue tones we all avoid.
Be especially careful on the Kelvin in kitchens or near mirrors. High K bulbs will make your skin and food appear grey - not pretty or appetizing.
I made the CFL switch 10 years ago when I built my house, and have never looked back.
Good luck!
Oh, and if you want to go efficient with exterior bulbs and live in cold climate, spend a little more on LED which performs much better in the cold. Fluorescents must "warm up" to put out max light. LED's have naturally cool light output, the technology is coming along to correct this, but still iffy, and LED's are 3x as expensive as a comparable CFL.
I think that this prejudice is based on outdated technological limitations. When you go to a store like Home Depot, you will see that florescent bulbs now come in several different temperatures of light, as TSPInteriorDesign has already explained. The difference is not between the coil ones and the ones with an extra shell around them, the difference is based on the chemicals inside the coil.
Also, @adam_stl, there are now CFL lights with frosted casings (for lack of a better word) that hide the coil. These come in chandelier sizes, too.
I'm all for saving energy, but avoid CFL's like the plauge. My daughter pulled a lamp off a table, breaking the bulb. It is a HUGE undertaking to clean up the possible mercury contamination!!
I've tried a lot of different CFLs and at this point, I have two gripes about them, in addition to the color issues which I keep encountering (even with supposedly warm ones):
1. they don't last *nearly* as long as they are purported to, making their higher price tag really obnoxious, and
2. their weight tears up any fixtures not built to handle it, which in a 50 yr house includes the porch light, the kitchen ceiling fixture, etc. Nor do the halogen "bulb" bulbs, drat it!
At the very least, for the CFL haters, next time your light bulb dies, switch to halogen bulbs. They don't have any of the CFL downfalls (they are warm, instant on, and dimmable) but save about 30% the energy of an incandescent bulb. Ikea has a line of them, but you can find them at home depot as well.
However, CFLs are great. I use CFLs on almost every single switch, and the halogen ones on just 2 lamps that I want dimming on. I love CFLs. I have no issues with them. Mine are all pretty much instant on, and have lasted me years. I honestly think I've replaced 1 single cfl since switching over about 8 or 9 years ago.
My pal Christian recommended n:vision in Soft White on his blog. I have yet to try these, but I too hate the Harsh White and we're in need of many bulbs in our new home, so I think I'll give these a try. A commenter mentioned some drawbacks, but as I understand it many efficient light bulbs need to be disposed of carefully anyway. You can buy these on Amazon.
Oops, looks like my Amazon link is actually for an inferior product, boo!
I have tried all ranges of kelvins in full spectrum CFLs (probably 15 different varieties) and still cannot find a CFL that makes me feel like I'm in an institutional cafeteria.
I can't wait to try the suggestions above!
Unless you are strapped for cash in the short term, you should spring for LED light bulbs. Current prices are very manageable $20-40 for these super-efficient bulbs, and you won't them have to change for many years.
Warm light LEDs are easily found at any big box store like Home Depot. I recommend the Philips 12 watt Ambient LED or Philips 7W LED. They both provide wonderful warm light and won't emit the skin-scorching heat like CFLs, Halogens, and incandescents do.
I like GE Reveal CFL bulbs. They make a nice, bright light that looks good even if other lamps in the room are incandescent. GE Reveal CFLs are 2500 Kelvin.
See this page for color temperatures of other CFLs.
I also hate CFLs, and have not made the switch as a result (I know…). But my big issue is that I have dimmers on almost every fixture in my house. And I don't think CFLs support dimmers. Can anyone speak to this?
There are sone CFLs that work with dimmers now, but I can't name the brand/type, sorry, but look for them.
Beware halogens in a fabric or paper shaded lamp that you want brightly lit. Halogens get HOT--very!
When building a new small cottage we made the decision to install nothing but CFLs and now, at the 7 year mark we have only had 3 losses. One simply burned out at about 4 years. Another only lasted a few weeks but was a yellow "bug light" in an outdoor fixture. (?) The third my DH dropped taking it new out of the box! ;-D.* When people claim they don't last hardly any longer than incandescents I wonder what is really going on with them or their fixtures....?...
I imagine it depends on the brand, but I got some "daylight" ones that were so blue-bright that I put them in utility areas or inside closets because I don't like cold white light.
Remember: Energy conservation might mean there will not be a new NUKE power plant going up near you!
*Yes a small amount of mercury escapes when one breaks...I wonder what someone meant by "HUGE UNDERTAKING" in cleaning up? The amount of mercury in one CFL is this much >>>>> . <<<<< the size of a period at the end of a sentence. It leaves the broken bulb as gas. Open a window and leave the room (closing the door if possible) for a while. Then clean up the broken bits. Even if you don't do this, you might consider that you are probably exposed to more mercury if you eat a lot of tuna. How often do you break a bulb?
Another problem/peeve I have with CFL's is that most of them are not dimmable. I've found some that are supposedly dimmable in a very limited range but when used with a dimmer burn out much too quickly.
I'm hoping someone can offer some suggestions. I find that florescent lights make me extremely dizzy. As a result, I have yet to switch my home over to CFL's. Does anyone else experience this? Have you found CFL's that don't cause dizziness? Also, are CFL's and regular old Type "A" incandescents interchangeable or do we have to change something within the light fixtures to make them compatible? Thanks!
We've been purchasing our CFLs from Costco for about 10 years. The light they give off is indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs.
EcoSmart & Feit ECOBulb are great! http://bit.ly/hjLpvt http://bit.ly/g0dC7X
Choose 40 to 60 watt equivalent for incandescent room ambience, per taste; color:soft white for both – affect is just as 'soft' as incandescent, though they have to 'warm up' a minute or two when first on. Got these in my Lvg and Dng rooms - no one knows the difference!
We use the Megaman Liliput.
It has a warm white 2700 k color temperature. When you turn it on it's not very bright but warms up slowly and spreads a warm light that I have not seen from low energy lights before.
If you buy anything in the 2700-3500 Kelvin range it will have a similar warm/ cozy feeling that you get with normal incandescent lamps. Also the fixture dictates the lamp then from there most brands have the same quality with the brand names (GE, Philips and Osram) being viewed as the highest quality but the most expensive. Here is a good guide to kelvin color. http://www.planetbulb.com/pages/What-is-Kelvin-Color-Temperature%3F.html
A bit on the late side but if you guys haven't found lights you're comfortable with yet, I would recommend retrofit Halogen Energy Savers.
(And no, despite my name I'm not selling them, I'm just concerned about the toxins in both CFLs and LEDs and the poorer light quality and hope that there will be enough of a demand for halogen lamps for manufacturers to keep making them.)
Halogen lamps are improved incandescent lamps, only smaller and made to make it last longer. Halogen Energy Savers look like regular Edison incandescent lamps, except for the little halogen lamp in the midddle, and use up to 30% less energy.
All halogen lamps have exactly the same top quality light as other incandescent lamps, with 100% color rendering, dimmability and consistent light flow over time and light up immediately. Only drawbacks are that they get hot (so keep away from children and pets) and that the clear bulb type can be rather glaring if not used with a shade. But they contain no toxins.
They come both in standard A type bulbs, the thinner chandelier type, PAR and floodlight reflector models.
Can probably be found at Amazon if not in your local stores.
I recommend SEXY LEDS chandelier bulbs , obviously :) if you need any candelabra base light bulbs for your project. They produce 400 lumens of soft, warm white light (2700K) creating the perfect atmosphere in your living room. Or wherever you install them. They are also sexy-looking. If you know what I mean :) well, there is no ugly LEDs sticking out.

Epoetin is a type of erythropoietin stimulator. These medicines can be given two ways. They may be injected into a vein with an intravenous (IV) needle or injected under the skin (subcutaneous). Talk to your doctor about which way is best for you.
How It Works
Epoetin is the man-made form of something that is produced naturally by your body, erythropoietin. The drug helps red blood cells to grow. It is used to prevent or treat anemia.
Why It Is Used
Cancer and treatment for cancer can cause your blood cell counts to drop very low. Epoetin is used to bring your blood cell count up as soon as possible. It is also used to prevent and treat some types of anemia, such as those caused by kidney disease.
How Well It Works
Epoetin helps your body make new red blood cells, which means you may not need as many blood transfusions. Sometimes your doctor may give you iron at the same time as epoetin to help treat anemia.
Side Effects
Epoetin can cause high blood pressure. Drugs are available to treat high blood pressure.
It may be dangerous to use erythropoietin stimulators to increase your red blood cell (hemoglobin) levels above 12 g/dL. Hemoglobin levels that are too high may increase your risk for death, heart failure, heart attack, and stroke. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of this medicine. Tell him or her about the concerns you may have, and keep all your appointments for blood tests.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Epoetin is an erythropoietin. Darbepoetin is another type of erythropoietin that may be given less frequently.

When Ducati puts soft tyres on Front and back regularly when the other teams run race rüber then you know there's not much comming in the Future. All They can wish for is a top three in the Free practice. And that's If that CRT bike doesn't beat them to it. It's time for Ducati to leave for a Year or two. they should have taken the Suzuki Route After Stoner left...

What makes Ducati think that if Rossi and engineer, can't change thier fortunes that Crutchlow could? Further,Hayden has been patient and dedicated to the flayling Duc brand to a fault. In my view it was time for Nicky to move on and ride a sucessful bike. I'd go BMW and bag the whole Ducati team, they don't deserve him!

The solution is really rather simple.
Nicky, using his excellent reputation as an ambassador and rider, has only one option and that is a move to Superbike though not on the works Panigale as is being suggested. Here, by means of a competitive ride, possibly the BMW seat of the stumbling Welsh chump Davies, he could rather effectively poke Ducati in the eye as a farewell gesture.

At the request of U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Dr. Nicole Lurie deployed a team of subject matter experts to advise U.S. embassy staff in Tokyo on ways to protect Americans in Japan during the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crisis. Dr. C. Norman Coleman, associate director of NCI's Radiation Research Program, and Dr. Steve Simon, a health physicist in NCI's Radiation Epidemiology Branch, were part of the team that also included Jana Telfer and Tom Bowman of the CDC and Capt. Michael Noska of the FDA.
The team spent several weeks in Japan consulting on a range of issues related to radiation exposure and the health of Americans in Japan during the Fukushima nuclear crisis. They advised on what constituted safe levels of radioactivity in food and drinking water, the necessity of and conditions for evacuation around the power plant and the conditions for return, and the circumstances under which Americans should take potassium iodide to prevent radiation exposure to the thyroid. The team developed communication materials for the embassy to use to convey health and safety information to American citizens living in Japan.
"We evaluated measurements of radiation levels in Tokyo and interpreted them into potential health risks," explained Dr. Simon. "With that information, American citizens could determine whether they wished to leave or stay, and whether or not to take precautions. That's a very individual decision," he explained.
The team also worked with colleagues in the Japanese government to develop research questions that will need to be addressed, added Dr. Coleman.
Videos of the expert team members speaking on topics related to the Fukushima nuclear crisis are currently available on the Web site of the U.S. embassy in Tokyo.
NCI's Clinical Assay Development Program Seeks Project Applications
The NCI Clinical Assay Development Program (CADP), a new initiative for researchers in academia, government, and industry, is requesting project applications from investigators seeking clinical assay validation resources. These resources are designed to assist with the development of assays that may predict therapy response or prognostic behavior of a diagnosed cancer, primarily for use in clinical trials. Approved projects will be provided access to NCI's assay development and validation resources, including project management support.
Applicants should define the intended clinical use for the assay for which support is requested. Assays submitted for validation should have been tested on human tissue. As part of the application, investigators are required to provide basic assay protocol(s). Proposals will be reviewed for scientific merit, feasibility, and clinical importance.
Please note that this call for applications is not a solicitation for biomarker discovery and is not a grants program. Learn more about CADP or submit an application online. The 2011 deadlines for CADP applications are June 15 and October 15.
President's Cancer Panel Report Focuses on Need for Better Understanding of Diverse Populations
Last week, the President's Cancer Panel released its 2009–2010 annual report, America's Demographic and Cultural Transformation: Implications for Cancer. The report identifies an urgent need to expand research and improve understanding of the factors that influence cancer risk and outcomes among diverse populations. In the report, the panel also calls for higher standards of cultural competence among health care professionals to better address cultural and language barriers that can have a negative impact on the quality of patient care.
The President's Cancer Panel was established by the National Cancer Act of 1971. It is an independent entity that is charged with monitoring the National Cancer Program and reporting annually to the president on any barriers to the execution of the program.
Panel members are appointed by the president. Current members include Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., of Howard University, and Dr. Margaret L. Kripke, of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Although the panel receives logistical and staff support from NCI, it does not conduct scientific research and its conclusions and recommendations should not be inferred as policy or perspectives of NCI.
Second Telephone Workshop for Cancer Survivors Addresses Weight Changes
The second of four telephone workshops in NCI's annual, "Living With, Through, and Beyond Cancer," series will be held May 10. Part II of the series is titled "Weight Changes after Cancer Treatments: Why Is It Happening and What Can I Do About It?"
This free series offers cancer survivors, their families and friends, and health care professionals practical information to help them cope with concerns and issues that arise after treatment ends. The workshops are presented by CancerCare, in collaboration with NCI, LIVESTRONG, the American Cancer Society, the Intercultural Cancer Council, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
Speakers for the May 10 workshop include Dr. Anna L. Schwartz of the University of Washington and St. John's Medical Center, Dr. Jennifer A. Ligibel of Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Cheryl L. Rock of the University of California, San Diego.

Registry of Measures for Childhood Obesity Research Available
The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR)—a collaboration among CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, NIH, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture—has launched a free, searchable online registry of measures and resources to use in childhood obesity research. NCCOR's Measures Registry is an interactive Web tool developed to facilitate access to available measures, describe the operational characteristics of the measures and populations in which the measures have been used, help identify gaps in measures, and encourage the development of new measures.
The registry includes almost 750 measures on individual dietary behavior, food environment, individual physical activity, and physical activity environment. These measures come from questionnaires, instruments, diaries, logs, electronic devices, direct observation of people or environments, protocols, and analytic techniques. Users can search for measures and details about how to use them, find measures in development, link to other measures registries and related resources, and submit new measures for inclusion.
To learn about the features and uses of the registry, sign up for the May 19 webinar online.
As a reminder, a webinar on the features and uses of the NCCOR Catalogue of Surveillance Systems is scheduled for May 5. The catalogue, also an NCCOR product, is an interactive Web tool that provides one-stop access to a wide array of obesity-related data sources at multiple levels. Using the catalogue, researchers can identify data resources, compare attributes across systems, and link to other resources of interest. To register for the May 5 webinar, go online.

The Car Of the Future-
Meet the Halo Intersceptor. The brainchild of technology concept designer Phil Pauley (whose previous work includes the mini underwater city, Sub-Biosphere 2), it's a car that, with a few optional extras, can be transformed into a plane, a boat, or a helicopter. In other words, it's more than meets the eye. "I just hate waiting in line at airports!" Pauley says when asked about his airborne floating car. Currently in talks with various aviation companies—whose engineers have approved the snap-on, snap-off design of the attachments—Pauley is hoping to see the Halo on the streets (and in the skies and the seas) by 2020. He expects it to cost around $20 million—"about the same as one military fighter jet," he reasons—but if you own this, it pretty much makes you Batman, and that's worth any price.
The Solar Moped-
It takes a lot to make mopeds cool, but Oriol Guimerà and Joan Cinca of Spanish design firm Guimeràicinca have managed it with the Moto Solar. Nestled inside a cocoon of solar panels—designed not just to collect the sun's energy when parked but also to protect the vehicle from rain and theft (perfect for New Yorkers!)—this electric bike looks like something from Tron, although, "It was actually based on pill bugs and the Sydney Opera House," according to Guimerà and Cinca, and was originally created for racing-vehicle manufacturers SunRed. The designers are hoping to find support to build a prototype soon.
What is it? It's a jacket made entirely by bacteria. Wait, what? British fashion designer Suzanne Lee grows a bacterial culture that forms fibers she harvests and makes into clothes that can be composted after a few wears. In other words, she's basically growing a new wardrobe out of mold. Where does she grow this bacteria? In a bath of sugary tea, of course. Did we mention she's British? Is this going to be a real thing? The process already works. It's just a matter of convincing ordinary people to wear clothes made of dried bacterial gunk. Good luck!
The Blood Lamp-
What is it? A light powered by your blood. Wait, what? Designed by Mike Thompson, it works by mixing a special powder with a few drops of the user's blood, causing a chemical reaction that gives off light. Why would he do that? To make people think about their energy consumption. Also: It looks fucking cool. Is this going to be a real thing? The lamp works, but if there's a market for it outside of characters in Saw movies, we'll be surprised.
Rocket Skates-
Designer Peter Treadway got so sick of the walks at either end of his daily commute that he decided to build some motorized shoes, resulting in SpnKix: strap-on powered wheels that whiz along at 15 mph. "They're not super easy to use at first," says Treadway, "but who wouldn't want to glide everywhere they go?" Costing between $200 and $300, these should be hitting the streets (and streetlights…and traffic…and pedestrians) by the middle of this year.
What is it? It's a 900-foot skyscraper that's buried underground. Wait, what? Matthew Fromboluti of Washington University in St. Louis proposed the "Above/Below" project as a way to fill the enormous crater left by the Lavender Pit Mine in Arizona. It's not as crazy as it sounds, as it's entirely self-sufficient and climate-controlled. What are the downsides? Well, you're living in a desert…in fact, you're living under a desert, which is probably worse. Also: the Balrog. Is this going to be a real thing? Not anytime soon, but when the surface world gets nuked to hell, this is going to be the only option, right, survivalists?
The Jungle Bathroom-
Acclaimed designer Jun Yasumoto wants to make your bath greener—literally. That's why he and his colleagues have invented the Phyto-Purification Bathroom, where all the water used in your sink and shower gets recycled by plants capable of naturally breaking down the chemicals from soap and shower gel through a process called phytoremediation. (It's complicated, but rest assured you won't be brushing your teeth with toilet water.) It's just an idea now, but phytoremediation is being explored by several companies, so don't be surprised to see this in the near future. "It would cost tens of thousands of dollars if you only built one," admits the Paris-based Yasumoto, "but we're looking at ways to integrate it into a real house. Ideas like building a vertical garden in the bathroom."
It Might Really Happen! Warp Drives-
Since faster-than-light travel is impossible, the hypothesized Alcubierre Drive would cheat by—and stick with us, because this sounds crazy—manipulating the (entirely theoretical) 11th dimension to make space smaller in front of the ship and bigger behind it, effectively moving space around the ship, rather than the ship through space. If this didn't sound unlikely enough, it also relies totally on "dark energy"—a little understood form of energy that's apparently causing the universe to expand faster—to work. Sadly, scientists predict this won't be feasible for another few thousand years.
It Could Really Happen: Invisibility Cloak-
In the movies, being invisible totally kicks ass: Just think, it kept Chevy Chase's smug face off the screen for at least half a movie! That's why scientists are working hard on the real thing, using "meta-materials"—a super- sophisticated mixture of metal and ceramics created through nano-scale engineering—to curve light around objects, rendering them effectively invisible by making the observer see the light behind the object rather than the object itself. It's still years away from being perfected, but we should see this in our lifetime. Or rather, not see it.

Lower your acquisition costs
March was the month of market maturity for our Indexes, as app developers continue to improve the quality of offerings, advertisers adopt more powerful programmatic and optimization techniques, and device usage continues to skyrocket.
The Apple App Store is celebrating its fourth birthday this week, and the company has quite a bit to celebrate.
Our April Fiksu Indexes indicate that mobile marketers began picking up the pace as they moved out of the first quarter, a historically quieter period of time for app development and promotion, into the busier second quarter leading up to the summer. In particular, marketers aggressively sought new opportunities to compete for ranking in the dynamic social networking and games categories which experienced volatility during the month.
Here's a snapshot of the latest data:
Our latest Fiksu Indexes are out – revealing a sharp drop in iPhone app downloads during the month of March. This dramatic decline returned app store competition to levels similar to those before the iPhone 4S launch last October.
As apps become a main distribution method for media on mobile phones, a new report shows ad dollars shifting from mobile sites to popular mobile apps themselves. Other newly released industry data reveals that tablets will continue to grow in popularity over the next several years; yielding massive app downloads – approximately 13.7 billion by 2016. Read on for more details on the latest mobile industry research and more…
How often do you think about your App Title, Landing Page and Meta Tags? Maybe you review it every time there's an app update, maybe less often. At the end of the day, it's fairly difficult to tie landing page characteristics to search rank and downloads, so why bother?! Ahem, sorry, wrong answer! Especially when you're talking about Android...
New research reveals Android now commands 50.1 percent of the U.S. smartphone market. It seems owners of the new iPad are experiencing yet another problem with the new device—slow and intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity. And according to a new report, consumer app downloads to mobile devices are expected to reach more than 66 billion per year by 2016. Read on for more…
Following January's sky-high download volumes available at rock-bottom prices, February presented a steadier and more normalized landscape for mobile app marketers.
Here's a quick snapshot of the February Index data:
Wireless executives, device makers and software peddlers have descended on Barcelona for Mobile World Congress to show off the latest and hottest developments in mobile technology. Coinciding with Mobile World Congress, Google announced its latest figures for the growth of the Android platform. The company is reporting a year-on-year growth rate of more than 250 percent. A new survey of current iPad users gives insights into iPad app usage.

"I Dropped 80 Pounds by Eating at Home"
"I Did It!"
Name: Dawn Mikulastik
Age: 25
Height: 5'8"
Her Weight Before: 230
Her Weight After: 150
Pounds Lost: 80
At Current Weight: 18 Months
As a college student living in Boston, Dawn Mikulastik didn't see a lot of the historic city. "At 230 pounds, I was too fat and tired to do anything," says the New York City waitress and aspiring actress. "I'd walk a few blocks and be completely exhausted -- it was hell." Since she dropped 80 pounds, that's all changed. "Now I love getting off the train a few stops early and walking 30 or 40 blocks. The quick workout lifts my spirits."Battle of the Buffet
Dawn grew up on cookies, Cheetos, and McDonald's. "I'd snack all day long," she says. By the time she reached her teens, her unhealthy diet and lack of exercise had pushed her weight to 200 pounds. In college, Dawn ate most meals at the all-you-can-eat cafeteria buffet, which helped her pack on an additional 30 pounds. But reality hit as graduation loomed. "I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't want to go on auditions at my size," she says.Fit for Any Role
Dawn began biking to her internship, four miles away, and hitting the campus gym three times a week. "I started with 30 easy minutes on the bike and treadmill," she says. At the same time, she cut her portion sizes in half and prepared healthy meals in her room so she could avoid the cafeteria. Within a few months, Dawn had lost 20 pounds. After graduation, she kept up her healthy habits and continued losing steadily. By the two-year mark, she had shed a total of 80 pounds.
Now Dawn juggles work, a busy social life, and auditions. "Getting healthy has given me the confidence to pursue my acting dream," she says.

- Aug 24, 2014 6:23 PM by Heiko Rupp
his is a more general question and not tied to a specific version of RHQ (but may become part of a future version of RHQ and/or RHQ-alerts).
Do you feel it would make sense to provide alert templates inside the plugin (descriptor) to allow the plugin writer to pre-define alert definitions for certain resource types / metrics? Plugin-writers know best what alert definitions and conditions make sense and should get the power to pre-define them.
This idea would probably work best with some relative metrics like disk is 90% full as opposed to absolute values that probably depend a lot more on concrete customer scenarios (e.g. heap usage over 64MB may be good for small installations, but not for large ones).
In the future with RHQ-alerts, it should also be possible to compare two metrics with each other, which will allow to say "if metric(disk usage) > 90% of metric(disk capacity) then ...".
I've scribbled the idea down in the Wintermute page on the RHQ wiki.
If you think this is useful, please respond here or on the wiki page. Best is if you could add a specific example.

The RHQ-team has been thinking about next generation Alerting for RHQ for a while.
I have written my thoughts down in a blog post in the RHQ space of the JBossThoughts on RHQ-Alerts aka Alerts 2.0 aka Wintermute.

- Starting an ActiveMQ Project with Maven and Eclipse
- Jul 29, 2014 4:35 AM by John Mazz
- I'm currently researching and prototyping a new subproject under the RHQ umbrella that will be a subsystem that can perform the emission and storage of audit messages (we're tentatively calling it "rhq-audit").
I decided to start the prototype with ActiveMQ. But one problem I had was I could not find a "starter" project that used ActiveMQ. I was looking for something with basic, skeleton Maven poms and Eclipse project files and some stub code that I could take and begin fleshing out to build a prototype. So I decided to publish my basic prototype to fill that void. If you are looking to start an ActiveMQ project, or just want to play with ActiveMQ and want a simple project to experiment with, then this might be a good starting point for you. This is specifically using ActiveMQ 5.10.
The code is in Github located at https://github.com/jmazzitelli/activemq-start
Once you clone it, you can run "mvn install" to compile everything and run the unit tests. Each maven module has an associated Eclipse project and can be directly imported into Eclipse as-is. If you have the Eclipse M2E plugin, these can be imported using that Eclipse Maven integration.
Here's a quick overview of the Maven modules and a quick description of some of the major parts of the code:
Taking a look at AuditRecordConsumerTest shows how this initial prototype can be tested and shows how audit records can be sent and received through an ActiveMQ broker:1. Create and start the embedded broker:
- /pom.xml
- This is the root Maven module's pom. The name of this parent module is rhq-audit-parent and is the container for all child modules. This root pom.xml file contains the dependency information for the project (e.g. dependency versions and the repositories where they can be found) and identifies the child modules that are built for the entire project.
- rhq-audit-common
- This Maven module contains some core code that is to be shared across all other modules in the project. The main purpose of this module is to provide code that is shared between consumer and producer (specifically, the message types that will flow from sender to receiver).
- AuditRecord.java is the main message type the prototype project plans to have its producers emit and its consumers listen for. It provides JSON encoding and decoding so it can be sent and received as JSON strings.
- AuditRecordProcessor.java is an abstract superclass that will wrap producers and consumers. This provides basic functionality such as connecting to an ActiveMQ broker and creating JMS sessions and destinations.
- rhq-audit-broker
- This provides the ability to start an ActiveMQ broker. It has a main() method to allow you to run it on the command line, as well as the ability to instantiate it in your own Java code or unit tests.
- EmbeddedBroker.java is the class that provides the functionality to embed an ActiveMQ broker in your JVM. It can be configured using either an ActiveMQ .properties configuration file or an ActiveMQ .xml configuration file.
- rhq-audit-test-common
- The thinking with this module is that there is probably going to be common test code that is going to be needed between producer and consumer. This module is to support this. The intent is for other Maven modules in this project to list this module as a dependency with a scope of "test". For example, some common code will be needed to start a broker in unit tests - including this module as a test dependency will give unit tests that common code.
- TCPEmbeddedBrokerWrapper.java provides a simple ActiveMQ broker configured very simply and will use a free TCP port to listen to. Tests can have their consumers and producers communicate with this broker.
- VMEmbeddedBrokerWrapper.java provides a simple ActiveMQ that is only for intra-VM messaging. It too is very simply configured and is useful, again, for unit or integration tests that need a broker for message processing.
- EmbeddedBrokerTest.java exercises the above test brokers by using a test consumer and producer (which are also available for use by other Maven modules since they are also part of the common code provided by this rhq-audit-test-common module).
- rhq-audit-producer
- This provides the producer-side functionality of the project. The intent here is to flesh out the API further. This will become rhq-audit's producer API.
- AuditRecordProducer.java provides a simple API that allows a caller to connect the producer to the broker and send messages. The caller need not worry about working with the JMS API as that is taken care of under the covers.
- rhq-audit-consumer
- This provides the consumer-side functionality of the project. The intent here is to flesh out the client-side API further. This will become the rhq-audit's consumer API.
- AuditRecordConsumer.java provides a simple API that allows a caller to connect the consumer to the broker and attach listeners so they can process incoming messages.
- AuditRecordListener.java provides the abstract listener class that is to be extended in order to process received audit records. The idea here is that subclasses can process audit records in different ways - perhaps one can store the audit records in a backend data store, and another can log the audit messages in rsyslog.
- AuditRecordConsumerTest.java provides a simple end-to-end unit test that uses the embedded broker to pass messages between a producer and consumer.
VMEmbeddedBrokerWrapper broker = new VMEmbeddedBrokerWrapper();3. Connect the producer and consumer to the test broker:
String brokerURL = broker.getBrokerURL();
producer = new AuditRecordProducer(brokerURL);
consumer = new AuditRecordConsumer(brokerURL);2. Prepare to listen for audit record messages:
consumer.listen(Subsystem.MISCELLANEOUS, listener);3. Produce audit record messages:
producer.sendAuditRecord(auditRecord);At this point, the messages are flowing and the test code will ensure that all the messages were received successfully and had the data expected.A lot of the code in this prototype is generic enough to provide functionality for most messaging projects; but of course there are rhq-audit specific types such as AuditRecord involved. The idea is to now flesh out this generic prototype to further provide the requirements of the rhq-audit project. More on that will be discussed in the future. But for now, perhaps this could help others come up to speed quickly with an AcitveMQ project without having to start from scratch.
- Changing the Endpoint Address of an RHQ Storage Node
- Jul 20, 2014 11:18 AM by John Sanda
- There is very limited support for changing the endpoint address of a storage node. In fact the only way to do so is by undeploying and redeploying the node with the new address. And in some cases, like when there is only a single storage node, this is not even an option. BZ 1103841 was opened to address this, and the changes will go into RHQ 4.13.
Changing the endpoint address of a Cassandra node is a routine maintenance operation. I am referring specifically to the address on which Cassandra uses for gossip. This address is specified by the listen_address property in cassandra.yaml. The key thing when changing the address is to ensure that the node's token assignments do not change. Rob Coli's post on changing a node's address provides a nice summary of the configuration changes involved.
With CASSANDRA-7356 however, things are even easier. Change the value of listen_address and restart Cassandra with the following system properties defined in cassandra-env.sh,
The seeds property in cassandra.yaml might need to be updated as well. Note that there is no need to worry about the auto_bootstrap, initial_token, or num_tokens properties.For the RHQ Storage Node, these system properties will be set in cassandra-jvm.properties. Users will be able to update a node's address either through the storage node admin UI or through the RHQ CLI. One interesting to note is that the RHQ Storage Node resource type uses the node's endpoint address as its resource key. This is not good. When the address changes, the agent will think it has discovered a new Storage Node resource. To prevent this we can add resource upgrade support in the rhq-storage plugin, and change the resource key to use the node's host ID which is a UUID that does not change. The host ID is exposed through the StorageServiceMBean.getLocalHostId JMX attribute.If you interested in learning more about the work involved with adding support for changing a storage node's endpoint address, check out the wiki design doc that I will be updating over the next several days.

- RHQ-Metrics and Grafana (updated)
- Jun 15, 2014 2:55 PM by Heiko Rupp
As you may know I am currently working on RHQ-Metrics, a time series database with some charting extensions that will be embeddable into Angular apps.
One of the goals of the project is also to make the database also available for other consumers that may have other input sources deployed as well as their own graphing.
Over the weekend I looked a bit at Grafana which looks quite nice, so I started to combine RHQ-metrics with Grafana.
I did not (immediately) find a description of the data format between Grafana and Graphite, but saw that InfluxDB is supported, so I fired up WireShark and was able to write an endpoint for RHQ-Metrics that supports listing of metrics and retrieving of data.
The overall setup looks like this:
Setup used
A Ganglia
gmondemits data over IP multicast, which is received with the protocol translator client, ptrans. This translates the data into requests that are pushed into the RHQ-metrics system (shown as the dotted box) and there stored in the Cassandra backend.
Grafana then talks to the RHQ-Metrics server and fetches the data to be displayed.
For this to work, I had to comment out the
conf.jsand use the
influxbackend like this:
datasources: {
influx: {
default: true,
type: 'influxdb',
username: 'test',
password: 'test',
url: 'http://localhost:8080/rhq-metrics/influx',
As you can see, the URL points to the RHQ-Metrics server.
The code for the new handler is still "very rough" and thus not yet in the normal source repository. To use it, you can clone my version of the RHQ-Metrics repository and then runUpdate
start.shin the root directory to get the RHQ-Metrics server (with the built-in memory backend) running.
I have now added code (still in my repository) to support some of the aggregating functions of Influx like min, max, mean, count and sum. The following shows a chart that uses those functions:

Women's health communities critical to reducing maternal and child mortality in Africa
05 October 2013
Obstetricians and gynecologists, ministers, public health specialists and civil society organizations convened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 2-5 October at the First International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Africa Regional Conference to discuss ways of improving maternal and child health in Africa.
Speaking at the opening, UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director, Programme, Luiz Loures highlighted the link between HIV and maternal and child health. He called for women's health and HIV communities to closely work together to increase access to life-saving health services to reach the most marginalized in society. He also stressed the need to uphold the sexual and reproductive rights of women living with HIV.
In sub-Saharan Africa, women are more likely to be living with HIV than men, accounting for 58% of the 22.1 million adults who were living with HIV in the region in 2012. Young women are particularly at risk of HIV infection–– around 28% of all new adult HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa are among young women between the ages of 15-24. HIV is also a leading cause of death among women of reproductive age and has a major impact on child health and mortality, mainly through the transmission of HIV from mother to child.
Dr Loures congratulated FIGO on its visionary and bold work on women's sexual and reproductive rights. He also underscored UNAIDS commitment to strengthening its collaboration with FIGO to raise political visibility and engage women's networks on HIV and sexual and reproductive rights issues to reduce AIDS related maternal and child mortality.
Human rights must be at the centre of our practice as everyone has a right to live. Our primary commitment as physicians is to save lives.
FIGO looks forward to active collaboration with UNAIDS to ensure the protection of the rights of women living with HIV regarding access to their services in the health sector.
Ethiopia has made excellent progress towards achieving the millennium development goals on maternal and child health and we are grateful for the assistance from our partners, such as FIGO and UNAIDS.

LA County Fair
Want to slip into a LA County Fair food-based sneak peek near the end of the month? You might have a chance. Just share a memory of the Pomona party on the fair's blog for your pick-me chance.
DEEP-FRIED ENVY: Look, we're not trying to stoke discord among friends, and certainly not friends who love the Los Angeles County Fair as much as you do. But is there a little bit of pride in your voice when you tell your pal all the weird foodstuffs you tried at the fair? Especially if you got to the fair ahead of your friend? Yeah, you probably brag it up as you describe the deep-fried candy bars and bacon-wrapped pickles and all of the other bizarre and flavorful bites the annual Pomona extravaganza is famous for. After all, friends who love food are always in a little good-natured competition, right? We want to out-do each other on the "I tried that!" front.
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE... to really get the jump on the fair foods. Hot Blog on a Stick, the Los Angeles County Fair's blog, has put the call out for best fair memories. A handful of memory comments will be chosen at random and then, bingo! You just may get an invite to the closed-to-the-public fair food preview, which is scheduled for the end of August. Suh-weet.
AND... that can be any memory you have of visiting the fair as a youngster (or not-so-youngster). It doesn't have to be food-related, so, yeah, you can spill the beans on that one uproarious time on the Tilt-A-Whirl or how you kissed a blue ribbon-winning cow. Just leave the comment on the fair's blog by Tuesday, Aug. 20, cross those fingers (fingers that will be sticky with cotton candy very soon, we expect), and see if you aren't one of the two selected lucky fair-food-previewers (the two winners can invite a guest each, too).
Can you imagine trying whatever the strange fried food delicacy will be days ahead of the LA County Fair actually opening? Yeah, your culinary buddies are going to be pretty jealous. Which just means you can go again with them and be there as they try all of the treats for the first time, after the fair opens. Yeah, that's a plan.
Leave your memories at the LA County Fair blog by Tuesday, Aug. 20. A few lucky commenters will be chosen to attend the fair food preview -- chosen at random -- on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

More businesses, marketers, advertisers and retailers have gotten far craftier, savvier and even more sinister. Today, thanks to all the sophisticated technologies they have at their disposal and the new research in the fields of consumer behavior, cognitive psychology and neuroscience, companies know much more about what makes us tick.
In my previous blog on "How Customers Think," we focused on the way consumers think when they are visiting our salons. With that knowledge, this article is focused on how marketers use that knowledge to get us to buy their products or services. (CLICK HERE to access all of Leon Alexander's blogs.)
They scan our brains and uncover our deepest subconscious fears, dreams, vulnerabilities and desires. They mine the digital footprint we leave behind each time we swipe a loyalty card at the drugstore, charge something with a credit card or view a product online, and then they use the information to target us with offers tailored to our unique psychological profiles. They hijack information from our own computers, cell phones and even Facebook profiles and run it through sophisticated algorithms to predict who we are and what we might buy.
They know more than they ever have before about what inspires us, scares us, soothes us, seduces us, alleviates our guilt or makes us feel less alone and more connected to the scattered tribe. What makes us feel more confident, more beloved, more secure, more nostalgic, more spiritually fulfilled. And, they know far more about how to use all this information to obscure the truth, manipulate our minds and persuade us to buy.
The minute we're born, we may already be biologically programmed to like the sounds and music we're exposed to in utero. Shrewd marketers have begun to cook up all kinds of ways to capitalize on this. A few years ago, a major Asian shopping mall chain realized that since pregnant women spend a great deal of time shopping, the potential for 'priming' these women was significant. Pregnancy, after all, is one of the most primal emotional periods in a woman's life. Between the hormonal changes and the nervous anticipation of brining another life into the world, it's also one of the times that women are most vulnerable to suggestion. So, the shopping mall chain began experimenting with the unconscious power with smell and sounds. First, it began spraying Johnson & Johnson's baby powder in every area of the mall where clothing was sold. Then, it infused the fragrance of cherry across areas of the mall where people could buy food or beverages. Then, it started playing soothing music from the era when these women were born in order to evoke positive memories from their own childhoods.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's Coast Guard says it has rescued a Chinese cook who tried to fly a hot-air balloon to islands claimed by both China and Japan.
The Coast guard said Thursday that Xu Shuaijun, 35, crashed into the sea Wednesday after hitting turbulence as he approached the islands, known in Japan as Senkaku and Diayou in China.
The Coast Guard says they received a missing-person report from Taiwan, and that Xu was spotted by a Coast Guard helicopter about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the islands. He was picked up by a boat and later handed over to a Chinese patrol ship.
The Coast Guard said his life is not in danger, although details are not available.
Bilateral relations have plunged recently, partly due to the dispute over the islands.
