InShare335 Part of an unpublished appendix for The End of Business as Usual… The mystique of Twitter, Facebook and Google+ causes a momentary lapse of reason where businesses are surprisingly acting first and addressing "the why" at a later point in time, if at all.
Without careful consideration and strategy, a great wave of stream fatigue, social blindness or far worse, customer unlikes and unfollows in will befall unsuspecting businesses en masse in social media. It will come down to a vital, but fixable disconnect. Businesses are interacting with consumers to socialize rather than learn about customer expectations to in turn, deliver tangible value, improve product experiences, and invest in long-term relationships. The more discerning consumers are learning that tuning out is merely temporary relief for misdiagnosed symptoms and not a fix to their bigger problems. Consumers, like businesses, are learning how to navigate social streams as they go. Don't get me wrong. #AdaptorDie. Elsevier. Squrl: The best place to watch and discover video.

The social progress South Africa has made over the past two decades is impressive. The transition to democracy has of course been a defining feature, and successive governments have implemented policies to increase well-being. The expansion of social grants has lifted many South Africans out of absolute poverty. This progress has been underpinned by a sound framework for macroeconomic policy.
Social progress over the past two decades has been impressive. But growth has not been inclusive enough due to insufficient employment growth. Macroeconomic policies are stabilising inflation and public debt. Tackling infrastructure bottlenecks and improving business regulation would boost job creation. Improving wage negotiations and job matching would also promote more inclusive growth.
South Africa has made impressive social progress over the past two decades, lifting millions of people out of poverty and broadening access to essential services like water, electricity and sanitation.
The Secretary-General was in Pretoria to present the 2015 OECD Economic Survey of South Africa and hold meetings with several high-level officials. He also participated in a meeting on the OECD's New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC) initiative.

As in the OECD area, labour market conditions are gradually improving in South Africa, but much more progress is required to tackle a number of structural weaknesses. The unemployment rate still remains above its pre-crisis level and more than three and half times higher than the OECD average.

FITNESS; In the Weight Rooms of Paris, There Is a Chic New Fragrance: Sweat
By JACK SMITH
Published: June 21, 2004
PARIS— AS much as an American visitor may try to maintain his suave demeanor while strolling the periphery of the Place Vendôme, it is almost impossible not to stop and gawk at the windows of the stores selling men's clothing. ''Who can fit into these things?'' is what comes to mind when a visitor beholds the showily attired mannequins, with their pipestem arms and pigeon breasts.
Obviously, the only candidate is a fashionable Frenchman, with his trademark wispy frame. So how will this coexist with a new trend toward more muscular physiques? In France these days, fitness is in, or to put it another way, c'est bon to be buff.
However odd it strikes some of their countrymen, a growing number of Frenchmen are climbing StairMasters and doing forced marches along treadmills to preserve themselves ''en bonne forme.''
Others are doing tummy crunches to develop that coveted state of abdominal musculature known as ''la tablette de chocolat'' -- the French equivalent of ''six-pack abs.''
Here, too, in the city where Camus and Sartre pondered existentialism while wreathed in acrid tobacco fumes, where Proust produced novels without leaving his bed, they are even -- gasp -- pumping iron.
''This is a big change in France,'' said Jean François Chesneau, a personal trainer at the Fitness First health club, on the Rue Lafontaine in the upscale 16th Arrondissement. ''Fifteen years ago, nobody did fitness. It was not the habitude. Now, people are doing every kind of training.''
On a May afternoon at Fitness First, many clients indicated that ''le workout'' has been a revelation. A retired French police officer who identified himself only as Gilbert took a break from a shoulder muscle machine to announce that after only three months of such exercise, he had lost five kilos, about 11 pounds.
Robert Benaim, a marketing executive in Paris, said he has been working out on the club's ''musculation'' machines for three years. ''It's a tonic,'' he said. ''It helps me remain supple. And my wife is very happy that I am doing it.''
Of course, this being France, people take a uniquely French approach to fitness. ''The French are fundamentally different from Americans and Englishmen,'' said Daniel Chaffey, a native of England who is a manager for the Fitness First chain of health clubs. ''The French idea of fitness is 'bien etre' -- feeling good. As long as they can say, 'I feel fine,' then they think everything's O.K.''
''They don't understand that Anglo-Saxon idea of 'no pain, no gain,' '' he said.
But then, asking a Frenchman to sweat has traditionally been like asking a cat to swim; though it can, it is not inclined to.
''Exercise is not in our nature,'' said Pierre Chevalier, a business executive in Paris who on a recent morning was about as close to exercise as he cares to get -- enjoying his morning coffee at the Hotel Meurice while watching the joggers in the Tuileries Gardens across the street.
''We are not a nation of effort,'' Mr. Chevalier said. ''After all, if you have savoir-faire, you do things effortlessly. Now we are told that it is good to exercise, to make the effort. Fine. So in my cellar, I have my treadmill, my musculation machine, but I don't use them. I took a personal trainer, and I bought all the sports clothes and special shoes and I went out and ran through the Tuileries. But now, the first reason I have to not go, I use it. It is raining, or it might rain. Or I have an appointment. Or I should make an appointment.''
Even so, Mr. Chevalier said he considers himself more sporting than the average Frenchman. ''I take three weeks off every year and go fly fishing in Scotland and every winter I take my children skiing. But then, what is the essence of skiing?''
He answered his own question. ''Effortlessness.''
Apart from their distaste for obvious effort, French sophisticates have long been puzzled by the American affinity for muscularity. ''That weight lifter look has never been popular in France,'' said Therese Casadesus Rawson, who spent her formative years in France and now divides her time between homes on the Philadelphia Main Line and Paris. ''Muscles were the sign of the laborer.''
Be that as it may, the number of health clubs in France has grown significantly. There are more than 3,500 commercial health clubs in France today, compared with about 2,500 two years ago, according to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association, an industry group based in Boston. Of course, that is far less than the 23,500 commercial health clubs in the United States today, according to the association.
Some Francophiles argue that the relative paucity of gyms in France testifies to a more enlightened lifestyle. ''They ski. They play soccer. They walk or bicycle instead of driving two blocks the way Americans do,'' said Karen Fawcett, editor of BonjourParis.com, a Web site that offers travel tips and insights from the expatriate community. ''That's why they don't need to work out at a gym.''
Others point out that the increase represents a real accomplishment in France, where strict labor laws and the tax structure make it difficult to operate businesses like health clubs, which must stay open nights and weekends.

Nutrition Profile

Lemon Filling
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
Gingerbread Layers
- 1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- 3 large egg whites
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- To make lemon filling: Have a small bowl ready. Thoroughly whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, egg whites, lemon zest and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Add butter and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture has thickened and bubbled several times, about 5 minutes. (The lemon filling must be thoroughly thickened but not allowed to scramble.) Immediately transfer to the bowl. Place a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- To make gingerbread layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat three 9-inch nonstick round cake pans with cooking spray; dust them with flour, tapping out the excess. (If the pans are not nonstick, line the bottoms with circles of parchment or wax paper and lightly oil or spray.)
- Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg into a mixing bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, molasses, egg whites and oil in another bowl; whisk this mixture into the dry ingredients just until blended. Divide the batter among the three prepared pans, spreading it in thin, even layers.
- Place the pans on the middle oven rack. (If they will not all fit, place one on the rack below, switching it with another pan midway through baking.) Bake until the tops spring back when lightly touched in the center, 12 to 15 minutes; do not overbake. Let the cake layers cool in the pans for 3 minutes. Turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely, right-side up, and remove the paper, if used.
- To assemble cake: Place a cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with half of the lemon filling. Repeat with a second cake layer and the remaining lemon filling. Top with the third cake layer.

Christopher Heine | May 25, 2012 | Comments
ClickZ speaks with marketing director for the global brand about social media initiatives.
Samsung is gearing up its social media efforts for the London Olympics and other digital marketing endeavors this summer. So ClickZ last week caught up with Gail Conroy, Samsung North America's director of brand and consumer marketing, in order to discover how the global brand views Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
"[Pinterest] is really exploding," she said. "It will be a good channel for us to engage with consumers."
We spoke with Conroy after a press junket that promoted Samsung's NX Series smart camera at New York's CitiField, home of the New York Mets. Among other topics, in the video below, she discusses why social media is so important to a tech brand nowadays, as well addressing marketing to moms.
Christopher Heine was a senior writer for ClickZ through June 2012. He covered social media, sports/entertainment marketing, retail, and more. Heine's work has also appeared via Mashable, Brandweek, DM News, MarketingSherpa, and other tech- and ad-centric publications. USA Today, Bloomberg Radio, and The Los Angeles Times have cited him as an expert journalist.

Featuring a newly introduced anti-gravity system which allows karts to transform into hoverkarts, Mario and friends can now twist and turn with tracks as they flip over onto themselves. With 32 tracks, 16 new and 16 updated from previous iterations of Mario Kart, no player will master all courses without going above and beyond normal expectations. With anti-gravity and returning features like flying, swimming and gigantic leaps, players will need all the luck they can get.
Mario Kart 8 also features a robust online multiplayer mode, or at least robust by Nintendo standards. Online multiplayer is supported for up to twelve players, playable with friends and strangers across the world. Oh, and you can chat with those people before and after matches as well. If normal races aren't enough, players can customize their own tourneys and tournaments, replete with their own rulesets and schedules. That way your victory can live on forever.
With 30 to choose from, everyone can pick up and enjoy Mario Kart 8. That's kind of the point. Just don't even bother looking into the Battle Mode unless you want to be very disappointed.

This Imari charger comes from a family in the lower Northern Neck. An ancestor bought it in Japan over a century ago, and it is in pristine condition. The colors are still brilliant, and the piece shows no evidence of wear. It is 26 inches in diameter. The sides of the back are decorated, but bear no writing to indicate a maker.
Imari remains the most popular form of Japanese porcelain. Its name comes from the city of Imari, which was the pre-eminent porcelain center of Imperial Japan. Works made there bear the distinctive deep blue and maroon/rust decoration, usually highlighted, as in this case, with heavy gold embellishment.
The charger was the signature item in an Imari collection. This piece dates from the mid-nineteenth century, and was already old when the family member purchased it in the beginning of the twentieth century.
From the absence of a maker's signature we can deduce that the piece antedates the international law requiring the country of origin to be marked on pieces. Most likely, this piece was meant for domestic use, rather than for foreign export. As such its appeal in today's market is all the greater.
A collector would pay $800 for this piece, but given the current economic conditions, at an estate sale or auction, the price brought might be less than that of five years ago. Good Imari in all of its forms makes for a great display. I have seen dining rooms coordinated to reflect the presentation of a collection.
One of my clients has the largest Imari charger I ever have seen. It is 36 inches in diameter, and each year at her Christmas party she uses it for serving part of her dinner. Most collectors are not as brave and display their chargers mounted on the wall, as this one is, but I must admit food eaten off of the charger seems to have a special aura.
Happy Antiquing!

The new toe implant gets its 'memory' from a revolutionary alloy called NiTinol, which has unique compressive - or shape memory - properties that are activated by body heat. Inserted after being cooled by the surgical team, the implant expands in width, securing it in place, then gradually shortens in length, creating compression across the joint line. The expansion and shortening processes encourage joint fusion and healing. The implant is also available in a different design that is super-elastic, with a spring-like action that does not require heat or cold to function.
In addition to the material's unique properties, the one-piece design of both types of Smart Toe implant bring advantages. Other implants commonly used to correct hammertoes are two pieces that must be connected during surgery, risking disconnection and rotation afterward. Rotation is also a frequent problem with K-wire stabilization that can result in improper fusion. Because the Smart Toe implant is completely internal, it resists any movement or rotation and can be positioned where needed without disrupting otherwise healthy bone.
Patients See Better Results
Leading experts around the country specializing in foot care have been using the Smart Toe implant with notable success. "I was looking for a better method for fusing the toe joints - one that would allow for stability without the use of external wires," says Stuart Mogul, DPM, FACFAS, of Mogul FootCare (www.mogulcare.com) in New York City. "To date, patient satisfaction has been high."

Palestine: Extremist group tells women in television: 'Wear a veil or we will behead you'
The fringe group threatened to "slaughter" the women for corrupting Palestinian morals. "The management and workers at Palestine TV should know," it warned, "that we are much closer to them than they think. If necessary, we will behead and slaughter to preserve the spirit and morals of our people."
About half the women TV journalists wear the traditional hijab head covering, but all show their faces and wear makeup. They mounted a vigil yesterday outside the Gaza City office of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, demanding protection and respect.
Lana Shaheen, who heads the station's English-language programmes, told The Independent: "Of course we are afraid. Previously this group threatened Internet cafes and video shops, then burned them. We will protect ourselves."
She insisted the women would continue working. "We will not change... our lives. We've worked through Israeli bombardments and attacks, just like the men. It's a national obligation."
Mohammed al-Dahoudi, the director-general of Palestine TV, said they were taking the threats seriously. "In the current security chaos, everything can happen in Gaza. There is incitement from some groups against television. We will continue to work as usual, but we will take precautions. We have to be careful."
He recalled previous attacks by Muslim radicals on local offices of the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV; another station, Voice of the Workers; and Palestine TV's own branch in Khan Yunis. In recent weeks, militants campaigning against Western influence have also vandalised an American school and a Christian bookshop. Bassam Eid, director of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group, accused the radicals of behaving like the Taliban in Afghanistan. "Gaza has become Hamasistan. They are trying to drag Palestinian society back to the dark ages."
As the prospect of peace recedes and poverty spreads, Palestinians have become more traditional. Bars and cinemas have closed. Many educated, middle-class women now cover their heads, but hardly anyone, even in the villages, wears the niqab veil.

of New Brand, Product Line, and Career Opportunities
Launch Event Sunday, April 29 at Yellowbird Gallery
Newburgh, NY - Stacey Hawkins, president and founder of the Newburgh-based company Time Savor Gourmet and host of the cable television cooking show Real Meals, is proud to announce the company's new name - Time Savor Solutions.
"Time Savor Solutions better reflects who we are, what we do, and our commitment to our customers," said Hawkins. "As a working mother of two, I truly understand how little free time people have to cook these days. We don't want gourmet - we want to be able to feed our families healthy food that tastes great and doesn't take long to prepare," continued Hawkins. "That's what our customers get when they use our products, so the transition to Time Savor Solutions just made sense."
With the launch of the new name, Time Savor Solutions is also introducing the launch of more than 50 new products, including Toasted Sesame Ginger Seasoning, Valencia Orange Oil, and Creme de la Creme Caramel Sauce. Existing customers can take comfort in knowing that their favorite Time Savor favorites, such as Viva Italiano Blend and Deluxe Honey Mustard, are still available. The complete product line can be viewed at www.staceyhawkins.com.
Time Savor Solutions complete product line is available exclusively through the company website www.staceyhawkins.com or through home tasting parties with a Time Savor Solutions professionally trained Strategist. Anyone interested in learning more about Time Savor Solutions exciting business opportunity is invited to attend the Strategist Launch Party on Sunday, April 29 from 3 to 5 pm at the Yellowbird Gallery on the Newburgh Waterfront.
"We are excited to now be able to offer career opportunities with others who love our Time Savor Solution product line," said Hawkins. "Direct social selling allows Time Savor Strategists to work for themselves - it's a great opportunity for stay-at-home moms, people looking for flexible work hours, or someone looking for a fun way to put a little extra cash in their pocket."
"We've teamed up with Anna Gibbs, a certified life coach and highly successful direct sales veteran who has worked with companies like Lia Sophia and Tupperware, to lead the sales training and help strategists achieve their personal sales goals," added Hawkins. "There's a great support team, exciting rewards, and very real ground-floor business opportunities. I invite people to attend the launch party on April 29 to meet our team and find out more."
To RSVP for the Time Savor Solutions launch party, contact Anna Gibbs, Director of Sales and Development at 845.649.1055. or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dr Bond is an excellent Oncologist at BC Children's! We lived out of town & when he would see us in passing at Children's, he would always approach us and make us feel part of the Children's community. When my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour, he was there to ensure she was taken care & was there for me to thoroughly go over everything I needed to understand as a parent now living with a child with cancer...thank you Dr Bond!!

Dr Bond treated our son at the Montreal Children's Hospital for ALL early in 2000. He was a very thoughtful oncologist and very straightforward with how we were going to battle the disease. Unfortunately, he left after appx 6 months but we've never forgotten him. He and Dr Mitchell at the MCH formed a good team. Our son is again free of leukemia, after relapsing in 2008, and now graduating High School and back to playing hockey. Thank you for educating us our first time around.

we have been to see Dr. Bond several times in the last 18 months and each time we leave with no answers to our questions and extremely frustrated. Our daughter has an undiagnosed bleeding disorder. All the tests that he has ordered for her have shown to be normal. When we actually see Dr. Bond we get the feeling that we are wasting his time and that since our daughter doesn't have cancer then if he doesn't return our calls then we will go away. Very disappointed in the service that we have recieved.

So, I have had my iPhone 4 for about a month now. It's been with me all day today, and I picked it up to send DH a quick text message when I saw a new text conversation on my phone from a number in my home area code that I did not recognize. I opened it up, and there is a whole conversation going on as if I had responded, all in the last two hours. I know I didn't respond, and the only other person who has been home with me is my 17-month-old DD, who obviously can't carry on a text message conversation.
How can people hack into your phone and use your text messages? I have Virgin Mobile so I have unlimited texts, but I'm kind of freaking out. Can they get other info from my phone--emails, etc?
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? How can I stop this from happening? Is there some kind of password or something? Please help!!!

Human mesenchymal stem or stromal cell (hMSC) therapies have promise across a wide range of diseases. However, inefficient cell delivery and low cell survival at injury sites reduce efficacy and are the major barriers in hMSC-based therapy. Formation of three-dimensional (3D) hMSC aggregates has been found to activate hMSC functions from enhancing secretion of therapeutic factors for improving cell migration and survival. As the stromal cells in bone marrow, hMSCs are significant sources of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and growth factors, which form an interactive microenvironment to influence hMSC fate via paracrine and autocrine actions. To date, however, the impact of the extracellular microenvironment on hMSC properties in the aggregates remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of endogenous ECM matrices on hMSC aggregate formation and survival under ischemic stress. The results demonstrated that the preservation of endogenous ECM in the aggregates formed by thermal lifting (termed TLAs) as opposed to the aggregates formed by enzymatically detached hMSCs (termed EDAs) enhanced cell proliferation, multilineage potential, and survival under ischemic stress. The improved cell proliferation and viability in the TLAs is attributed to the incorporation of endogenous ECM proteins in the TLAs and their promitotic and antioxidant properties. The results demonstrate a novel method for the formation of hMSC aggregates via thermal responsive surface and highlight the significant contribution of the ECM in preserving hMSC properties in the 3D aggregates. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Inferno: Alliance Standalone is an indie game which will serve as a remake of the old Inferno: Alliance, a mod for FreeSpace 2 SCP released back in 2006. Just like its predecessor, INFASA will merge Inferno's typical style with FreeSpace 1's atmosphere.
The standard light bomber of the Earth Alliance, the Aetna, has recently undergone a number of upgrades. It's time to sum up the results.
Posted by Mobius89 on Jan 2nd, 2011
The EAB Aetna
As smallest bomber in the EA fleet, the Aetna has the role to weaken big ships by destroying their weapons subsystems, thus allowing heavier bombers like the Gagana to finish off the target. If necessary, the Aetna can engage fighters, but it's not the kind of asset supposed to come out victorious from such a scenario.
A time for upgrades
All work had to start from the previous Aetna mesh, which has been in Inferno's modpack for quite a few.
Rampage, who upgraded the mesh, preferred to redo it from scratch instead of editing the old model.
With the modelling partially done, it was FreeSpaceKing's role to work on the textures. Initial results were truly impressive.
At first we thought the upgrade was nearly complete, but FSK amazingly pushed the textures to the limits, effectively leaving the team impressed.
It's impossible not to appreciate what Rampage and FreeSpaceKing have done.
Final touchups
As you have noticed, only the cockpit's missing. It hopefully won't be long before we post pics showing it off, so stay tuned!
17/03/2011 update
There it is, as promised. The Aetna in an even better shape!
Good job!
Amazing update on the Aetna!
Very sharp piece of work there !
nice texturing! are the authors here on moddb?
Unfortunately no, but they'll eventually join the site in the future.
pardon my ignorance: que what program use to draw objects?
