In the UK today, around 93% of builders are recognised as heavy Internet users, and 70% of them buy products online. Likewise, construction industry customers are increasingly engaging in social media as a source of information, and more importantly, recommendation.
Without strong relationships with your merchant base, it's unlikely that you're getting your marketing messages through to the people paying money for products. This is particularly problematic within the construction industry, as the products tradesmen use are a direct reflection of their workmanship, which they value above most other things. When customer satisfaction is fundamental to word-of-mouth recommendation, they need to know and trust the products and brands they're using. You can make this happen.
'Making Demand Generation work in the Construction industry' is a helpful guide that looks to connect brand owners, merchants and their customers using realistic Demand Generation strategies that professionals can leverage to their advantage.

The 3DS has shaped into quite a unique piece of hardware that offers a unique one of a kind gaming and social experience. Features like Swapnote, Nintendo Video to an interactive friends list has really propelled the system up to todays standards, but what else could enrich the experience?
Here are 5 ways to improve an already amazing system.
5. YouTube, Facebook & Twitter
Added functionality of these social juggernauts would give 3DS owners just one more reason to pick up their systems.
4. Party Voice Chat
With the exception of the upcoming title Heroes of Ruin, a party voice chat for 3DS friends to gather and chat would be a most welcome addition. The ability to run the app in the background while playing a multiplayer game would add worlds of fun.
3. Messages
Add the ability to send messages outside of Swapnote. As i mentioned in a previous blog it would be nice to be able to send a message and have a small balloon pop while in game to notify the user.
2. Deeper Club Nintendo Integration & Back Up System
Club Nintendo Cross Platform Integration
Much like iPhone, the added ability to re download software on multiple systems under one account almost seems like a must have feature. If your 3DS were to break or you simply upgraded to a new model, the ability to add your account and start retrieving your old games would make the current option seem prehistoric.
System Back Up
The ability to back up your system on a computer through desk top software would be another welcome feature.
1. New Street Pass Games, Online Mii World & Medals
Street Pass
Street pass is perhaps one of the 3DS"S most flagship abilities. The addition of new games to use those lonely Mii's in would be a perfect fit. Find Mii and Puzzle Swap are great street pass games but what about something more. We have hats and puzzle pieces to collect but what about new intriguing game with new items.
Mii World
Much like PS3 Home, Nintendo could create a massive online social lounge experience where players could take their Mii's into a Nintendo themed world where players can chat, share items and meet others from their 3DS friends list and abroad.
3DS Medals
I've touched on this in the past but an social achievement system is long overdue and would do wonders for the 3DS. Medals give players more bang for their buck by increasing the longevity of the game. Medals is just one more reason to return to that old game. Integrate Medals with the 3DS friends list and theres bound to be quite a competitive battle between friends.

Most public school districts in state offer K4, DPI says
The state Department of Public Instruction this week announced that 85 percent of school districts in Wisconsin now offer 4-year-old kindergarten classes.
Seventeen districts added K4 programs for the 2010-11 school year, bringing the total to 350 across the state. That's up from 166 in 2001-02.
As part of a multifaceted approach to curb declining resident enrollment and bring in more revenue, the Elmbrook School District is considering adding a K4 program starting in fall 2011.
A vote on the proposal could come before the School Board early next year.
School Board OKs proposals for new courses in 2011-12
The Elmbrook School Board last week approved two new high school electives for 2011-12: abnormal psychology, and crime, society and the law.
Both classes will be offered through the high schools' social studies departments.

Your neighbor's hot tub is the coolest
Summer or winter, it doesn't matter," says Ellen Wohl of Beachwood. "Late at night, we break out a bottle of wine or shake a few martinis and relax in the hot tub with our best friends from across the street."
Yes, in bathing suits.
Marilee MacAskill has shared her family's hot tub with her Bay Village neighbors as well — but only after their kids had gone first. "Good, clean fun," she assures. But some newly married friends (no kids) decided to brave it in the buff in their own hot tub — in February. The problem: no keys to get back inside their locked house. MacAskill won't make the same mistake: "After that, I hid a key!"
8.4% of people have jumped into a hot tub with their neighbors.

MK Yoel Hasson Seeks to Limit the Supreme Court's Power
Member of Knesset Yoel Hasson (Kadima), who chairs the Knesset's State Control Committee, said on Wednesday that a new bill proposing to prevent the Supreme Court from nullifying Knesset laws will strengthen Israeli democracy by creating the correct balance between the two bodies. "There is definitely a need for an apparatus that is able to secure Knesset laws and limit the interference of the Judicial Authority in matters of the Legislative Authority. In my view, the bill creates the right balance between the authority."

Press Clippings
Midnight Beast launch new album
Comical band The Midnight Beast are to release their new album Schtick Heads on the 2nd June, with signing events planned in Manchester and London for that week.British Comedy Guide, 24th May 2014
Review: If I Were A Black Guy was a sole highlight
Sadly, while Stef, Ash and Dru can be hilarious in musical mode, they're no great shakes as comic actors. The first series seemed to know this, building each episode around a key musical moment.Keith Watson, Metro, 24th January 2014
Meet the cast of The Midnight Beast: E4's dirty Glee
The idea for comedy music group The Midnight Beast - comprised of Stefan Abingdon, Drew Wakely and Ashley Horne - first started life in a kebab shop.Susanna Lazarus, Radio Times, 23rd January 2014
E4's The Midnight Beast began a second series last night. The comedy-pop band of the same name first won fans for their YouTube video parodies of artists such as Ke$ha, before making the leap into this self-titled sitcom in 2012.
It features the band members playing versions of themselves, wacky sub-plots and original music numbers, so unfavourable comparisons to Flight of the Conchords and The Mighty Boosh are inevitable. They are also unfair, because while The Midnight Beast isn't as original as those shows, it's not aimed at the same audience either. Judging by this second series commission, the TMB's teen followers are well satisfied with their TV incarnation.
This episode made a self-deprecating reference to the gang's youth appeal. Having been employed to organise a 16th-birthday party, Stefan, Dru and Ashley tried - and failed - to come up with an appealing teen-friendly theme: "A Twilight party? What do you think I am? Fifteen years old, three years ago?"
There were also many more dud gags besides, but a scene in which Stefan visited a frontman support group almost compensated. Any sitcom that includes roles for both Simon Farnaby from Yonderland and Stella Street's Phil Cornwell, can't be all bad.Ellen E. Jones, The Independent, 23rd January 2014
Radio Times review
As one character remarks about the titular comedy group: "These idiots look like they understand teenagers. I bet they even...Jonathan Holmes, Radio Times, 23rd January 2014
It's difficult second series time for Stef, Dru and Ash, collectively known as musical mickey-takers The Midnight Beast.
The mix of spot-on pop caricatures and shambolic sitcom is much the same as first time out with one difference: the boys are starting to feel their age.
Have they got their finger on what's cool and what's not any more? As they set about organising a birthday party as a way of earning some readies, the lads suspect they might be losing their touch.
Hanging out with hopeless neighbour Craig (Simon Farnaby, of Horrible Histories and Yonderland fame) isn't helping any.Carol Carter and Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro, 23rd January 2014
Simon Farnaby: Mighty Boosh showed me how to make TV
Simon Farnaby, 40, was in The Mighty Boosh and Horrible Histories. He returns as a tortoise-loving neighbour in the new series of E4's Midnight Beast.Andrew Williams, Metro, 23rd January 2014
Comedy crooners Dru, Ash and Stef are back for a second series of musical bellendry. Stef is still reeling from his breakup with Zoe - she's now dating Skepta-esque rapper Sexual P, who taunts Stef with blatant braggadocio. With no record deal to speak of, the boys find themselves working at a former bingo hall and organising a 16-year-old's birthday party. With laughs few and far between and dated yoof culture references, it's a subpar opener from the one-time YouTube sensations.Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 23rd January 2014
The Midnight Beast interview
I caught up with the band to ask them all about how The Midnight Beast came to be, and what to expect from the second series.Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 20th January 2014
E4 orders second series of The Midnight Beast
The Midnight Beast, the E4 sitcom starring the popular musical YouTube band as three struggling musicians, has been given a second series.British Comedy Guide, 22nd July 2013

Improving patient experience-within reason
My friend, Dr. Gurpreet Dhaliwal, has a most interesting opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, "If Only Health Care Would Focus On This One Thing".
In this post he suggests that we should not worry about multiple aims (the triple aim or the quadruple aim), but rather focus health care design and delivery from a patient perspective. He writes, "In health care, our keystone habit should be taking the patient's perspective. If we could develop the habit of always seeing health care from the perspective of the patient, we would have one guiding principle – not four – for the tough decisions and trade-offs that need to be made as we reform health care. How long should patients have to wait to make an appointment? It is worth investing in e-mail communication systems with patients? If the response is governed by balancing patient experience, quality measurements, costs considerations and worker satisfaction, the answer gets complicated. If instead we habitually ask, 'What do I want when I'm a patient?' the answer is clear."
In general I agree with his major point, however, it does need a major caveat. We see too many patients who make unreasonable demands: overtesting demands or inappropriate medication demands. As professionals we have a responsibility of primum non nocere (First, do no harm). Opiate overprescribing is a great example. How many patients demand opiates, when their use has great danger.
I have written recently that we must strongly consider the patient's perspective on value in health care. However, we must temper our patient centeredness. When 1 patient's concerns impact our ability to help other patients, then we must make the choices.
So bravo to Dr. Dhaliwal, with these cautions.

Thirteenth body found on Mount Everest
Search teams have recovered a thirteenth body from the snow and ice in the aftermath of an avalanche that swept through a dangerous mountain pass on Mount Everest at the weekend.
Another three guides remain missing and searchers are working quickly to find them in case weather conditions deteriorate.
Dramatic image 'of deadly Mount Everest avalanche'
Agence France-Presse have released a dramatic image reportedly of the deadly avalanche that killed at least 13 sherpas on Mount Everest this weekend.

Search resumes for four missing guides on Everest
Sherpa climbers aided by helicopters resumed a search on Saturday for four missing guides after an ice avalanche swept the lower slopes of Mount Everest, killing at least 12 in the deadliest accident on the world's highest mountain.
Climbers declared a four-day halt to efforts to scale the 8,848-metre (29,029-ft) summit and, while some decided to abandon their mission, others said they would go ahead after talking to their Nepali guides.
The Himalayan Guides, a Nepali hiking group, said six of its sherpas had gone ahead of climbers they were accompanying in order to fix ropes and crack snow and ice to carve out a route, when they were caught in the avalanche and died.
"We have two helicopters stand by in the area and will start looking for those who are still missing. Many of them have already been rescued," Nepali Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Jagdish Chandra Pokharel told Reuters.
At least 12 guides killed in Mount Everest avalanche
At least 12 Nepali mountaineering guides have been killed after an avalanche swept down a slope of Mount Everest, a tourism ministry official said.
The avalanche is the deadliest in eight years and hit the most popular route to the mountain's peak.
Three guides were injured and up to five people are missing in the first major avalanche on Mount Everest this climbing season.
Mission to get bodies off Everest underway
After an avalanche swept down a slope of Mount Everest killing at least nine mountaineers, helicopters and food have been sent to base camp to take away the dead and help with rescue efforts.
Some mountaineers remain missing on the mountain.
Footage from NBC News at Mount Everest:
Nepal Tourism Ministry: 'Nine killed, many missing'
An avalanche that swept down a slope of Mount Everest at the beginning of the main climbing season, has killed nine Nepali mountaineering guides, a Tourism Ministry official said.
The avalanche hit the most popular route to the mountain's peak and three Nepali guides were injured and some people may be missing, Tilak Ram Pandey, an official at the ministry's mountaineering department said.
Madhusudan Burlakoti, a senior official at the ministry, said helicopters and rescuers on foot had been sent to the site.
Six dead and nine missing after Everest avalanche
Six local guides have been killed and nine more are missing after an avalanche swept a route used to scale the world's highest peak, a Nepalese tourism official said.
The avalanche hit just below Mount Everest Camp 2 around 6.30am local time, Krishna Lamsal said.
He added that four bodies have been recovered and rescuers are digging two more out of the snow. Nine other Sherpa guides are unaccounted for and believed to be buried in the snow.
All those killed and missing had gone early in the morning to the area to fix ropes for climbers along the route to the 29,000ft summit.
Hundreds of climbers and guides have gathered at the base camp, gearing up for their final attempt to scale Everest early next month when weather conditions get favourable.
Five feared missing after Mount Everest avalanche
Up to five climbers are feared missing after an avalanche swept the slopes of Mount Everest and hit a route used to scale the world's highest peak.
The avalanche hit the area just below Camp 2, according to Nepal Tourism Ministry official Madhu Sudan Burlakoti.
Rescuers and fellow climbers at the base camp are heading to the area to help, and a helicopter is on the way from Katmandu.
Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said four or five climbers are believed to have been buried and more injured by the avalanche.
Avalanche on Mount Everest 'kills four people'
Four people, including an Australian tourist, have been killed by an avalanche and 154 people have been rescued after heavy snow and the Mount Everest, Chinese state media reported.
Nepal bid to curb 'bizarre' record attempts on Everest
The Nepalese government plans to open an office at Mount Everest base camp in a bid to regulate attempts on the summit more closely, the BBC reports.
The move follows a series of embarrassing episodes on the world's tallest mountain, including a fight between climbers and local sherpas in April.
Officials also plan to monitor "bizarre" record attempts, believing that some feats "don't bode well for the dignity of Everest".
"These days we see people trying to make bizarre records like, for instance, standing on their head or taking off their clothes while on the summit," said Ang Tshering Sherpa, a member of the committee that recommended the new rules.
Further restrictions on littering and helicopter flights close to the mountain are also expected.

Brake checking a cop...
"KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS" IS THE LAW IN CERTAIN STATES! While riding the left lane for no apparent reason this van was approached from behind by a sheriffs patrol car (clearly marked lights on top, black &white etc.) The van either didn't see the car at first or decided he wasn't going to pull to the right (which is the travel lane for those who still cant grasp that concept) I was becoming more and more amused by this and decided to start recording with my dash-cam. The cop was not amused so he flashed his lights to the van several times, started riding the rumble strip and tailgating (note the weather...) The van driver for whatever reason decides it would be a good idea to brake-check the cop!!! And so it goes for quite a while until van guy pulls to the right lane as I'm contemplating going an extra exit or 2 to follow the unfolding saga...but as the cop starts to pass the van (I'm in the exit lane already) the most wonderful thing happens...

Road Rage, Tailgater Doesn't Like The Camera
This occurred in Fairfax County Virginia. A federal security gaurd was tailgating and when the opportunity came there was an assault. As always there is two sides to every story and I'm sure there is, but assault is assault!

This review is from: SYBA CL-SPK20069 2.0 Ultra-compact Egg Rechargeable Speakers
Pros: They look cute.
Cons: Horrible sound, cheap construction, low volume.
Other Thoughts: I bought these speakers in the hope of getting better and louder sound from my laptop. Big mistake. The sound is tinny at best with annoying buzzing/vibrating in the background. The maximum volume is even less than the weak laptop speakers I'm trying to replace! The 'shell' of one of the speakers detached the first time I opened the speaker. The construction seems extremely cheap and assembly looks like it was done by a guy who had a few beers too many on the job.
I would return them but by the time I pay for shipping I won't be getting much back. Don't make my mistake and keep your cash!
This review is from: memorex 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL 50 Packs Spindle Disc Model 05732
Pros: Cheaper than some others but not by enough.
Cons: I got about a 50% coaster rate. Verbatim has worked much better for me.
My firmware is up-to-date and my software works fine - with Verbatim discs.
From reading reviews it seems that Memorex buys their discs from different manufacturers. The pack I got was re-branded Ritek discs. Perhaps those who had better luck got better quality discs.
Other Thoughts: These discs are a pure gamble. If you get lucky and get a pack from a good manufacturer then they are a good buy. If your not so lucky you'll have more coasters than good burns. When you average in the extra time and aggravation of a bad pack plus the cost of the coasters Verbatim comes out to a much better deal.READ FULL REVIEW

There is evidence from adoptive T cell transfer, high dose interferon and anti-CTLA-4 trials that immune system can control malignant melanoma. The question arises whether we can elicit long-lived protective CD8+ T cell immunity that will prevent relapse in patients with high risk disease through vaccination with melanoma antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DCs) without generating autoimmune complications by focusing the immune response on melanoma antigens. Our results from clinical trials testing first generation dendritic cell (DC) vaccines in patients with stage IV melanoma provide a proof-of-principle that therapeutic long-lived melanoma antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immunity can be elicited by ex vivo generated DC vaccines. Distinct DC subsets exist that generate distinct types of immune responses. This concept is fundamental for the development of effective cancer vaccines. We found that IL15- DCs are more efficient than IL4-DCs in priming and maturation of melanoma antigen-specific CTLs. We propose to test the immunogenicity of IL15-DCs in patients with high risk resected stage IIIc/stage IV melanoma. These patients are likely not to have immunosuppression driven by bulky tumors, which represents a significant impediment to induction of tumor specific immune responses. Our hypothesis is that IL15-DCs will generate long-lived melanoma-antigen specific memory T cells in patients with high risk melanoma.
Aim 1 is a phase I/II single-arm clinical trial in which patients will receive IL15-DCs loaded with melanoma antigens and with control antigens.
Aim 2 will determine the breadth of CD8+ T cell responses.
Aim 3 will determine whether IL15-DC vaccine generates high-affinity long-lived melanoma-specific CD8+ T cells able to reject tumors. If we conclude on strong immunogenicity with acceptable toxicity, in future studies IL15-DCs will be tested in randomized trials with clinical efficacy endpoints in i) high-risk patients to measure disease-free survival;and ii) in patients with measurable disease to determine the rate of tumor regression.
Patients with resected stage IIIc/stage IV melanoma are at significant risk of death due to melanoma. Current therapies have the potential to improve outcome in a fraction of patients but are associated with considerable toxicity. Vaccination with melanoma antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DCs) could improve outcomes without toxicity.

Boat Reviews
Jeanneau Arcadia
A sleek, modern European-style cruiser from one of the world's largest boat builders.
Like most of the Jeanneaus, the Arcadia (pronounced "Are-caw-dee-yah") is rare in America--only a few were imported--but, also like most of the Jeanneaus, the total production run is incredible--the factory popped out 600 completed boats in the Arcadia's first two years. The only American company that could even aspire to such numbers in a 30-footer is Catalina, and they produce a miniscule number of models compared to Jeanneau.

Winning words
A few years ago, when identical twins Brittany and Brianna Winner were in fourth grade, they came home from school close to tears.
Their learning disabilities, primarily dyslexia, were becoming apparent to their classmates, and the girls were sad.
"I knew there was something different with me," Brittany says, before her sister, in the manner of many twins who are close, picks up the thought.
"I just felt I was stupid," Brianna adds.
"That was the exact word," Brittany agrees. "Stupid. The other fourth-graders were doing so well, and we couldn't keep up."
They told their parents, Jeff and Ilene Winner of Fullerton, that they were worried they wouldn't make it through high school, much less get to college. They told them the word they kept hearing, stupid, might be true.
"But our dad told us, 'No you're not!' " Brianna says.
"He said, 'Why don't you write a book?' " Brittany says.
So the twins with serious reading disorders did just that, writing – with a little technical help from their dad – a 312-page science fiction novel called "The Strand Prophecy."
And though no one could predict it at the time, the book, and plenty of other things that happened to the twins afterward, turned out quite well indeed.
Although the idea of writing a book was daunting to Brittany and Brianna, now 17, the girls were already natural storytellers.
Born 11 weeks early, they spent their preschool years in and out of hospitals. And with only each other for companionship, they learned to occupy themselves with imaginary worlds, made-up characters and grand adventures.
"We were very sick," Brittany says. "To escape that, we started to play pretend."
Their parents loved all things science fiction, so they were an eager audience for the galaxies, planets and all manner of alien beings the girls invented.
And the girls, it turned out, were good at inventing.
"I don't know if everybody can do this, but can you imagine something and see it in front of you?" Brittany asks.
They started with a story that starred dinosaur people and ended up with one focused on an intergalactic monarchy of alien beings. Their universe grew to include seven planets, each with detailed histories, legends and populations.
And they spent nine years making up new chapters of the same story. Finally, when they were 11, their dad urged them on: You are smart. You are creative. You can – and should – write a book.
And so the dyslexic twins started writing, using a speech-to-text program on their computer.
The Winner twins spent nine months writing "The Strand Prophecy," working on it between school and homework. It's the story of Steve Cutter, a character Brianna describes as "a scientist superhero with no powers, who has to warn the world about a rapidly evolving predatory creature."
Halfway through the book they realized three things, she says. "We loved to write. We wanted to write forever. And we wanted to publish books."
"We wanted to be authors," she adds. "It was our dream."
They published the book on their own in 2007 when they were 12. They'd be considered a success even if their story stopped there. But the universe for Brianna and Brittany, and their book, soon expanded.
They were named finalists in three categories of Benjamin Franklin Awards and a gold medal winner at the Ippy Awards, both of which are well-known contests for independently published books. At New York Comic-Con, the twins met a book buyer for Barnes & Noble who took a liking to their book. At BookExpo America, the same happened with a book distributor.
When the girls turned 13, "The Strand Prophecy" was picked up for in-store sales at Barnes & Noble and, that summer, they did an authors' tour of Borders bookstores. They used their first royalty check to launch Motivate 2 Learn, a nonprofit for kids with learning disabilities like theirs, and eventually economically challenged kids, too. They continue to donate their book royalties to the cause.
They've continued to attend comic conventions, renting booths to promote their books and leading panels at Comic-Con in San Diego on topics such as how to write and publish your first novel.
And they've continued to write, with four novels written (two will be published next year) and a book on writing, "The Winner Twins Secret Writing Method." Their parents estimate they've sold more than 100,000 books.
Although they're wildly successful as teen authors, they continue to tap into older brainpower as they navigate the world of publishing.
"We have a lot of mentors," Brianna and Brittany say in unplanned unison that prompts the twins to look at each other and giggle.
"Here's a secret," Brianna adds in a conspiratorial whisper. "When we do say things at the same time, it does kind of freak us out."
At home this week, the twins conducted a short writing seminar with schoolchildren in Point Loma, using videoconferencing setup. It's something they do several times a week with classrooms around the country and, sometimes, overseas. Their writing tips are simple and useful and most often brilliant.
"We start at the end, and then do the beginning, and then the middle," Brittany says. "So write down the ending: 'He survived.' At the beginning, it has to be the opposite: 'It was just another day.' And by the middle, you have to connect the two: 'Something major happened.'"
The sisters add that they still work as collaborators, and that they usually get along. And the story always comes first.
"We live by the philosophy that we do not own our ideas, they belong to the story," Brianna says.
"So Brittany and I do not fight about whose idea is which. And if we do disagree on something then there's usually something wrong with it, so you need to take it out or change it."
It probably helps that they're so busy there's little time for bickering. On the same day they did the Point Loma videoconference, their parents drove the girls to a studio in Orange where they did a live interview with CNN's "Headline News" about life as young entrepreneurs.
Their newest project is one they can't yet talk about in much detail. They've struck a Hollywood deal in which they'll work as story consultants and co-writers on scripts aimed at young adults.
"We constantly reach higher and higher," Brittany says.
Then she looks at her mirror image, Brianna, and, in unison, they smile.
