Andy Murray
A. MURRAY/R. Bautista Agut 7-6, 6-1
Q. This is becoming a bit of a Sunday habit, but well done. Great tournament. Good title win. What are your thoughts this week as opposed to last week?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I thought that I did feel like I played better this week than last week. You know, in all of the matches I was hitting the ball pretty clean. Obviously I think I played four top 20 players or top 25 players this week. And, yeah, played some really good tennis against all of them.
It wasn't, you know, that easy to come in and play really well straightaway, because the conditions were very different to Beijing. But I got a really good start against Johnson and kind of kept it up from there. Got better each match, I think.
Q. Congratulations, Andy. You're having a sensational year. Can you put your finger on what's been the difference this year compared to previously?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, it's obviously difficult to say exactly why, but, you know, obviously the middle part of the year, really after the French Open — I had done well over the clay court season, but obviously having Ivan back on my team helped during that period. And winning Wimbledon was really a big boost to my confidence after I had had, you know, quite a few tough losses in the slams the last few years. That kind of gave me a lot more belief in myself that, you know, that I could win the major competitions again.
You know, it helped motivate me. I have obviously quite a different team this year with Ivan and Jamie. You know, since, yeah, really since the French Open, you know, played the best three months of tennis of my career.
Q. Congratulations. You are on the way of reaching the world No. 1. Do you think what is the most important thing is?
ANDY MURRAY: The most important thing to reach No. 1 is to be extremely consistent throughout the whole year, you know, which I have done really since the clay court season, so since April.
But, you know, the start of the year I played very well at the Australian Open, and then I didn't play through February and then didn't play well in Indian Wells and Miami.
So I have done a good job of that for pretty much the last five months, but to get to No. 1 you need to do it for nine, ten months and I haven't done that yet. I'll need to keep up the way that I'm playing the next seven, eight tournaments that I play through until the clay court season again next year if I want to get there.
Q. It seems when Ivan is involved, even if he's not there, you seem to just have a calm and a comfort level that maybe you don't seem to have at other times. Maybe you do. Any reason you can think of what he brings to the table that gives you that?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, to be honest, I mean, I need to give the credit, as well, to the rest of my team. You know, I haven't been on the court with Ivan since the US Open, and I have done a lot of the work with, you know, Jamie Delgado on my game. I have really enjoyed working with him, too. I think I knew him very well from beforehand. We work very well together, you know, and I think all of my team helps, is helped a lot by Ivan's input.
So when they speak to him, and even when I'm not involved in the conversations, I do think it helps them because he's a strong character with, you know, a lot of experience of competing and playing at the top of the game. And also, he's coached me before so he knows me well, too.
I think he works well with my team and, yeah, even when he's not there, he spends a lot of time chatting to Jamie, as well, and they have worked very well together.
So, you know, it's a team effort. It's not just one member. If, you know, Ivan didn't speak to Jamie, then these last few weeks he wouldn't be giving much help there. The two of them have communicated very well, and it's working very well just now.
Q. When you arrived in China two weeks ago, how were you feeling just having not played or hit many balls for a couple of weeks? Would you have ever expected you could win 20 or 26?
ANDY MURRAY: No, no chance. I mean, I thought there is no reason why I couldn't play well once I got here, but in Beijing, start of the tournament, I had very low expectations because I arrived Sunday morning and played my first match Tuesday afternoon, which that would be the latest I have arrived for a tournament, you know, in a long time, really.
I mean, obviously, you know, I arrived late here because I came from Beijing, but actually, you know, having not played for a couple of weeks, I would never arrive that close to an event.
So I didn't expect to play well in Beijing. I didn't start the tournament great. But as it went on, I started to feel better and I was obviously feeling a lot fresher having taken eight, nine days off after Davis Cup than I did before, I think, because it had been a really long summer for me. So now I have learnt from that, and now I'll go take four, five days off now and, you know, rest my body and try and be as fresh as I can for the next few events.
Q. You just chasing for the world No. 1. Novak said No. 1 is no longer important thing anymore. Do you think less pressure winning the title? Are you happy it's more easy to achieve that goal than a week ago, I think?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, yeah, I mean, obviously the more matches you win, the more chance there is of you improving your ranking. I mean, that's how it works.
But what matters is what my priorities are, and right now I just want to finish these next few tournaments this year as best as I can.
I have never played particularly well at the O2 in London. You know, normally in Paris I hadn't played that well until last year, but I do like indoor conditions usually.
So I will try and finish this year as strong as I can. And next year if the opportunity is there to reach No. 1, then I want to try and take it. But it's not going to be easy because, you know, Novak plays great tennis indoors, and also his record at the beginning of the year, as well, is phenomenal in Australia and Indian Wells, Miami. It's going to be a tough thing to achieve that. I'm aware of that. I was close-ish right now, but it's going to be really tough still.
Q. Bautista said before in the press conference when he look in your eyes he see the new No. 1. Are you feeling that way? Do you feel you have a lot of chances?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, I for sure have a chance just now. I mean, I'm not suggesting I have no chance of getting to No. 1. I'm just still aware how difficult it is going to be to get there.
You know, I still have to win three, four tournaments, you know. That's not an easy thing to do. I have never had success like I have had the last few months in my career, so, you know, to keep that going, I'm aware it's going to be a difficult thing to do. I need to keep myself motivated and be smart with my schedule and my time off, as well.
But I believe I can get there. I definitely believe I can get there. You know, these last few months have proved that to me.
And, yeah, I'll give it my best shot to do it, because I may never get another chance. I may never get another chance to be No. 1, so I'll give it my best shot to do that while I have the opportunity.
Q. You kind of answered this, but you did an interview I saw on Sky with Marcus Buckland, and you said it's mathematically possible this year, you're not really thinking about that and you're kind of more zeroing in on March, February, March next year. Did I get that right?
ANDY MURRAY: Well, I think that's where the biggest chance for me is because I didn't play at all during February last year, or this year, and I won only two matches in Miami and Indian Wells combined, you know, whereas Novak won those two events.
So, yeah, that's a period of the year where I don't have many points to defend, obviously. I made the final in Paris, made the final at the Australian Open, as well. So, you know, that's the period of the year where I have the opportunity to gain and add quite a lot of points or I'm not defending anything.
I think that's the time that's most realistic, because although points-wise it's possible to do it this year, Novak is going to win a lot of matches between now and the end of the year. I'm aware of that, and I expect that to happen.
So, you know, there is more chance to do it next year, I think.

Coming up with a million dollar idea is only half the battle. You'll have to fight to be noticed. There are countless others doing the same.
It's a tough world out there. Getting your product or brand to the masses can be a chore considering the fact that you're vying for attention in a market saturated by startups and other businesses looking to do the same thing.
While that TV spot might garner some attention, your marketing avenues should be vast, reaching people from all walks of life.
Putting all of your eggs in one basket can be the safer, easier bet, but putting all of your prospects into one stream is a sure-fire path to disaster.
Listed below are five great tips to help advertise your business; some tested and trusted while some are unique. Check them out below.
Related Article: 4 Small Steps in Digital Marketing That Will Impact Your Business Growth
1. Be Creative and Innovative
Sometimes you need to get creative when pushing your product. Mikhail Marchenko, the CEO of StickerRide, explains that the outdoor advertising market offers brands a unique opportunity to sidestep cluttered and noisy digital channels. Outdoor advertising has been around since the 1850s when billboards were used on railways and are still used today.
While a billboard is nice, people have become desensitized to them. StickerRide, which just hit the U.S. is basically a mobile application of an advertising platform connecting brands with car drivers, who put ads they chose themselves on their own cars, which makes them not just the driving billboards, but loyal brand ambassadors. That's creative.
2. Social Media
Your business needs to be on social media channels. It's that simple. It seems that everyone is at least present on one platform so it only makes sense that your brand or service should be there, as well. One of the great examples of the creative use of social media is GrubHub. They know how to get their customers salivating over their products.
A lot of people snap a picture of their food before eating. On their social media accounts, GrubHub makes art out of it. And that art looks so tasty it actually becomes a great advertising model. However, there are some boundaries: don't be overbearing with your presence, but instead be subtle, helpful, and funny when it calls for it. Do not try to force your brand on people using social media, it will most likely backfire.
3. Event Sponsorships
On the surface, event sponsorship seems like an expensive way to advertise your business, but if you think on a smaller scale, event sponsorship can be a great way to support your local community and events. While sponsoring large scale events may be unrealistic, sponsoring smaller events can give you great visibility.
If it is a conference or meetup, gift bags are occasionally given out at the end and most sponsors will be able to slide a business card, brochure, or branded knickknack in there. There's a recent example of how sponsorship could bring attention to your brand: Mariott and Expedia sponsored a guy to visit several locations around the globe to help finish off the Pokédex.

4. Become an Expert in Your Field
If your company focuses on pressure washing houses and garages, learn everything there is to know about stains, trees, and whatever else. Write articles offering help and advice to homeowners. Post them on your blog, in the local newspaper, where ever you can be heard. By offering knowledge-based assistance for free, and showcasing your in-depth understanding of the subject, your potential clients will feel comfortable with you, and be more likely to go with you when the time comes.
5. Mobile Advertisement
If you're looking to promote an app or online service, displaying your ads through mobile platforms and apps can be a great way to get eyes on your product. Mobile continues to grow, with more people using their phones for work and fun than ever before. By working with ad networks like Google Adsense or Revcontent, you can sit back and focus on your business, while your business gets promoted through a variety of channels and apps, increasing your visibility.
And the more creative your ad is, the better results you will have. Maybe you've seen the Homeland ads? Their banner was ordinary, but it prompted you to "zoom." An unusual CTA (call-to-action), which didn't ask you to watch a video or something like this. When you do zoom, the ad started to display all over the screen and showcases a mosaic of images, that makes a portrait of the lead characters. Zooming in further opens next images and reveals that they are actually short videos of the different parts of the show's plot.

Amy Singer, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist who is an expert in statistical methodologies, data analysis, and applied research. Singer's firm, Trial Consultants, Inc.®, which she founded in Miami in 1979, is the oldest trial consulting firm in the United States. Singer is a pioneer and nationally acknowledged authority in the field of litigation psychology, a discipline that provides jury research and selection, focus groups, social media analytics, shadow juries, venue studies, witness preparation, trial and ADR strategy.
Singer continues to serve as a popular and prolific author, trial consultant, and speaker contributing her expertise to national publications, broadcast media, legal associations and high-profile cases such as the Casey Anthony, Dr. Kevorkian, Michael Jackson, William Kennedy Smith and O. J. Simpson trials.
Amy has taught Social Psychology, statistics and research methods at Hofstra University as an associate professor. From 1982 to 1984, Singer was a part-time member of the Department of Psychology, Florida International University, Miami-Dade County, Florida where she taught research methods and design. She taught the "Psychology of Jury Selection" at Nova Southeastern University law school, Fort Lauderdale.
Amy Singer is a noted trial consultant and litigation psychologist. As one of its earliest, most influential, and heavily imitated practitioners, Singer helped to pioneer the field of trial consulting during the 1980s. As a result of her revolutionary concepts and approach, Singer was able to take what at the time was a rudimentary – and to many trial attorneys, probationary – discipline to a robust new level of professional practice, courtroom accomplishment and potent capability. By conclusively demonstrating to litigators that it is value beliefs, not juror demographics, which correlate most strongly with jury verdicts, Dr. Singer radically transfigured how litigators conduct voir dire. In the process, she thoroughly transformed the zeitgeist of trial planning and preparation for attorneys across the United States, and later, around the world.
Singer is a nationally recognized authority in the field of jury research, also known as litigation research or litigation psychology. She is a leader in blending the tools of behavioral science, applied research, statistics, measurements, and strategic and psychological analysis to help attorneys win their court cases and other legal disputes. Singer is a leading expert and industry trendsetter concerning the application of jury focus groups, jury simulations, mock trials, voir dire strategy, attitude surveys, witness evaluation, shadow juries, and related professional activities.
Dr. Singer is a prolific author and popular speaker concerning litigation research, trial consulting, and related topics. The media regularly call upon her as a jury expert concerning newsworthy trials. She has been interviewed or featured in articles concerning jury research and related topics in numerous national publications, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. She also served as courtroom consultant for the NBC and FOX television station affiliates in Miami. Additionally, Singer was a columnist for the Miami Daily Business Review.
Singer was one of the first professionals in America to employ sophisticated psychological research, measurement, and analysis techniques and methodologies to help attorneys pick favorable jurors and most effectively plan and present their court cases.
After completing her Ph.D. in applied research psychology from Hofstra University in 1978, Singer quickly decided to set up a private litigation research firm, one of the first such professional practices in the United States (1979). She called her firm "Trial Consultants, Inc.®," thus coining the name for the industry that would rapidly grow in the years to come.
The litigation research techniques Singer helped to develop and perfect during the early 1980s, including jury focus groups and jury simulations, jury "deselection" represented a bona fide paradigm shift in trial strategizing and preparation. Singer led the way in the development and practical application of jury focus groups, jury simulations, and mock trials. During the lengthy course of her career, Singer has likely conducted more jury focus groups (some 15,000) than any other working professional.
Thanks to the groundbreaking advances by Singer, as well as a few other early practitioners regarding their newly organized jury research techniques, attorneys finally had a logical rationale for their voir dire questions, thus eliminating the unnerving pinball aspect of voir dire that existed previously.
In the specialized jury research system Singer helped to conceptualize and develop, litigation psychology activities – and specifically jury focus groups and jury simulations – enable attorneys to precisely test market how jurors will respond to a particular trial presentation strategy, including the trial theme, the opening statement, the closing argument and other key case aspects.
Additional benefits of jury research, as structured by Singer for her clients: helps attorneys determine how to break complex arguments down into easy-to-understand concepts, often expressed through analogies and metaphors; supports or rejects the supposed case hypotheses; shows what the jurors want to hear, and how and when they want to hear it; demonstrates the best way to reframe the trial issues to achieve the maximum positive reception; notes key words and their emotional associations and psychological valences with jurors; helps to assess numerous trial factors, including the effectiveness of the evidence, lawyer and witness believability, and potential damages amounts; and helps to avoid "surprise" verdicts.
Early in her career, Singer transformed the prevailing voir dire philosophy of many trial attorneys. For example, she discovered that most attorneys were "demographic-dependent," that is, they based their juror selections largely on demographic factors such as sex, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and so on. Singer, as well as other jury researchers, determined that no correlation exists between jury verdicts and demographics. Instead, people decide such important issues as verdict decisions based on their core values and beliefs.
Thus, from the start, Singer organized her jury focus groups and jury simulations to help uncover the all-important value beliefs of jurors regarding a particular case.
The Singerian methodology for jury research has been copied by other consultants and has had a major influence on the professional field of trial consulting as it exists today.

North Carolina Central University, Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) Facility
Durham, North Carolina
Square Footage: 59,929
2010 AIA Committee on Architecture for Education Award for Excellence
2009 AIA South Atlantic Region Honor Award
2009 AIA North Carolina Honor Award
2009 AIA Triangle Honor Award
BRITE is a part of a statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premier provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry. The facility houses laboratories and classrooms for faculty providing undergraduate and graduate level education in the areas of Process Development, Quality Control and Quality Assurance. The facility, representative of the development labs found in industry, allow students to get hands-on training as part of their collegiate experience.
An addition to the Mary M. Townes Science Building, the BRITE building consists of 59,929 Sq. Ft. of research and teaching laboratories. While connected to the Science Center for pedagogical purposes, the intent of BRITE was to establish its own image and story within the campus. The west elevation is derived from an unfolded DNA strand. The DNA metaphor is reflective of the building's bio-manufacturing teaching mission. While standing apart in scale and form, the building uses similar materials to harmonize with its surrounding context.
The plan for BRITE is a simple stratification of office, circulation, lab support and lab from east to west respectively. The east elevation facing the courtyard is a semi-transparent curtain wall while the west elevation is masonry with vertical windows. The east/office side of the building facing the courtyard is thought of as more expressive of the individual (faculty) and thus more contemplative and connected to the green space through transparency. The west side is conceived as a team environment and cloistered by a masonry shell which protects the interior environment from the western sun.
Visibility was a driving factor for the planning of the project. The mechanical systems on the roof above the laboratories are screened by a perforated roof which turns down to create a 45-foot high modern archway. This archway, highly visible from the east and west, become a gateway for the campus and a highly visible entrance for BRITE.

an awesome Spanish teacher! He works very hard to integrate technology
into his classroom in a meaningful way. He is constantly working on
things for his class and coming up with new games, project ideas, and ways to
integrate culture into the curriculum. Lalo is generous in our department
in sharing his genius and taking the time to introduce us to new technologies
as well! I am so happy to get to work with such a great department!" Thank you for helping to inspire our students

Today's telecom field technicians need to be equip with tools that are able to test a variety of technologies, especially as the industry transitions to a converged network infrastructure. Not only does the equipment need to be versatile, it has to maintain a level of simplicity for technicians troubleshooting in the field. TelecomEngine got a chance to speak with Karim Fahim, Senior Product Line Manager of Transport at EXFO, to discuss the FTB-1 NetBlazer platform, and specifically Exfo's new offering, the FTB-880.
Today's telecom field technicians need to be equip with tools that are able to test a variety of technologies, especially as the industry transitions to a converged network infrastructure. Not only does the equipment need to be versatile, it has to maintain a level of simplicity for technicians troubleshooting in the field. TelecomEngine got a chance to speak with Karim Fahim, Senior Product Line Manager of Transport at EXFO, to discuss the FTB-1 NetBlazer platform, and specifically Exfo's new offering, the FTB-880.
TelecomEngine: There is an ongoing transition toward a converged infrastructure for PDH, SONET and packet-based Ethernet services. This requires a wide range of interfaces and rates. How does the FTB-880 NetBlazer provide this while still taking into account such things as speed, cost and portability?
Karim Fahim, Senior Product Line Manager, Transport: Indeed, there is a transition toward converged networks that is well underway and with the FTB-880 we offer our customers a fully integrated test solution that is capable of addressing all of the field test requirements, whether it's DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH as well as Ethernet services. We leverage Exfo's FTB-1 platform with a compact form factor, and a completely redesigned user interface in order to give field technicians the best tools that are entirely designed for them. These tools offer multi-technology testing, portability, as well as performance with no compromise on any of these elements.
Specifically, how does the FTB-880 build off other testing equipment to provide testing to PDH, SONET and Ethernet circuits and what makes it different?
KF: Actually, offering such a unique test tool is not new to Exfo. As a matter of fact, about four years ago we recognized that the transition toward converged networks was starting and we introduced the FTB-8130 NGE module to address multiple technologies such as DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, OTN, Ethernet, Fiber channels and so on. At the time, the FTB-8130 NGE was truly innovative in the sense that it was the first integrated, portable, multi-service test solution, and it actually continues to set the standard in the industry today. So what we have done with the FTB-880 is we have taken on the learning from the FTB-8130 NGE and come up with a multi-service tester, in a more compact form factor, and with a more simplified user interface that is designed specifically to meet the requirements of the tier 1 field technicians. What really sets the FTB-880 apart is the comprehensive feature set that is custom-built for the field technicians, combined with the flexibility that comes with the FLEX configuration. What FLEX configuration really means is that our customers can configure the unit with any combination of rates and interfaces while having the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the unit is future proof and that they can easily add additional rates or interfaces in the field by a software upgrade at any time. And of course, we also have the FTB-1 platform itself, which houses the FTB-880 module, and offers multiple connectivity options whether its Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, as well as a multitude of addition Exfo and third party test applications that can run on that platform.
How does the FTB-880 offer a comprehensive test suit, but at the same time make it simple for field technicians to troubleshoot DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH and Ethernet Services?
KF: We've actually gone to great lengths to specifically try and balance those two seemingly mutually exclusive requirements. The way we've addressed this is through our completely redesigned user interface that I alluded to earlier. When a technician is using the FTB-880 they first get a list of all the possible test applications. Once they select the application they wish to run, it is simplified to just focus on that particular test application. So all the set-up parameters and all the test result phases are tailored to that particular test application, therefore eliminating any possible confusion. Furthermore, all the tests that it can run come with simple pass/fail results against the established, user-specific accepted threshold, eliminating any guesswork from the interpretation of these test results. As soon as the technician is ready to perform a different test, they can go back to that main page with a simple click and select a different test application. This is how we manage to offer a comprehensive test tool, but at the same time keep it simple and focused to simplify the tasks of today's field technicians.
How does the FTB-880 adapt to both GigE and 10 GigE circuits?
KF: So as I mentioned the FTB-880 was designed to be the most comprehensive tool for the frontline technicians, and as such it was very important that it covered the full range of Ethernet services offered today by service providers. These services can go from a simple 10 M connection, all the way up to a 10 GigE connection. The FTB-880 supports all of the interfaces for Ethernet from 10 M all the way up to 10GigE. In addition to that, all of the test functionalities that are available are available for the entire range of interfaces to make sure that the methods and procedures are consistent across all the different types of services for 10 M to 10 GigE. Just to give you an example, our EtherSAM test suite, which is based on the ITU-T Y.1564 standard, which has become the most adopted service activation and troubleshooting method today, is available on all the Ethernet connections from 10 M all the way up to 10 GigE. This way we ensure that our customers can use the same methods and procedures to turn up any interface for Ethernet.
Different network topologies process Ethernet frames differently, which requires different testing. How does the FTB-880 meet these different requirements?
KF: The wide range of Ethernet testing capabilities that we support on the FTB-880 allow us not only to test all types of Ethernet services such as mobile backhaul, commercial services and wholesale services; but also most of the network technologies or topologies that these services are delivered on. EXFO has integrated key differentiated capabilities such as bidirectional or asymmetric testing on the Y1564 to make the FTB-880 the most suitable tool for Ethernet service tune-up and troubleshooting. And this is for different topologies, such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint; as well as different technologies such as MPLS/VPLS, pseudowire, and others. In addition, these capabilities are an extremely easy to use user interface like I mentioned earlier, that is particularly adapted for the tier 1 workforce in the field today.

This may be a touchy subject because I know how many avid Vitamin Water drinkers are out there, especially in our increasingly health-conscious (but misinformed) society. However, it's time to face the facts!
Vitamin Water gives the illusion of a healthy, hydrating, and rejuvenating miracle elixir. The bottles are beautiful, colorful, and the text on them is snappy and clever. They have empowering flavor names like "endurance," "energy," "essential," and "focus." There is no question that there is some genius marketing at hand.
However, nothing makes me cringe more than the sight of someone downing a bottle of "charge" or "balance" as though they are truly replenshing their body. The cold, hard truth is... Vitamin Water is fortified sugar water. Check the label yourself.
I went online to find the official nutrition info for Vitamin Water for this post. The Glaceau (company that owns Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and Fruit Water) website was beautiful and sleek, but of course did not offer any nutritional information. So, I found the information elsewhere after a good search. Let's take a look at "defense."
Nutrition Facts:
Serving Size 8 fl oz; Servings per Container 2.5
Calories 50
Total Fat 0g
Sodium 0mg
Total Carbohydrate 13g
Total Sugar 13g
Protein 0g
Vitamin C 60%; vitamin B3 10%; vitamin B6 10%; vitamin B12 10%; vitamin B5 10%, Zinc 10%
vapor distilled/deionized water, crystalline fructose, citric acid, vegetable juice (color), natural flavor, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural flavor, vitamin E acetate, magnesium lactate (elecrolyte), calcium lactate (electrolyte), zinc picolinate, monopotassium phosphate (electrolyte), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), cyanocobalamine (B12)
First, let me point out that this product contains NO juice. None. Now that we have that out of the way, let's factor in that one bottle of Vitamin Water is 2.5 servings, therefore, nutrional information should be adjusted accordingly (unless you're really only going to drink less than half of the bottle at at time). That makes one bottle of Vitamin Water contain 125 calories and 33 grams of sugar. (Remind me again why they try to call this a form of "water"?) That's more calories and sugar than a 12 ounce serving of Coke (12 oz of coke equates 110 calories and 30 grams of sugar). Now, Coke contains high fructose corn syrup and is not fortified, but nutritionally, you're still getting sugar and calories from both drinks.
And don't be enticed by "crystalline fructose," the second ingredient on the Vitamin Water ingredient list. It's their own fancy name for their form of sugar, and it's the most prominent ingredient after water!
The whole "vitamin" aspect of Vitamin Water is irrelevant. So, they fortify their sugar water with chemically synthesized vitamins. You can now purchase "Diet Coke Plus," which is fortified Diet Coke. Because vitamins are added to a beverage, does that make it healthy? Vitamins can't undo the sugars and additives in a beverage, and you are much better off gaining these nutrients from your diet (or a multi vitamin if necessary). Ofcourse adding vitamins to a drink doesn't do any actual harm, but it confuses consumers into thinking that the beverage is a healthy choice. Remember, these companies don't really care about your health and well-being... they're trying to win you over! Our society now has become somewhat obsessed with healthier choices, and the smart companies know how to appeal to that crowd. They boast that their drink is full of essential vitamins and will somehow make you perform your daily tasks more efficiently. Trust me on this: downing a bottle of sugar water is going to do nothing but give you a sugar crash later.
Now, Vitamin Water is not pure poison. It is certainly not a health food or something that I would personally drink, but if the choice is between Vitamin Water or soda, I suppose Vitamin Water is a wiser choice. But you know what the smartest choice is? Water. Real water. It is crucial to keep your body properly hydrated at all times, and pure water is the only way to do this. Drinks that are full with sugar only continue to dehydrate the body, regardless of their water content.
Want something sweet to drink? Try squeezing lemon or lime in pure or sparkling water. Add a few drops of stevia (see my post on this amazing natural, non-caloric sweetener) and you've got a drink that hydrates, tastes great, and isn't full of sugar or added nonsense.
Remember, if you find this information helpful, subscribe!
Hydrate responsibly,

I got a lot of good idea off Pinterest and then just made it work for us, what I liked was that the worm eats a lot a fruit and it was easy not to have a lot of sweets as the kids loved that all the food the caterpillar ate was on the table.

The USS California (Armored Cruiser 6) was a 13,680-ton Pennsylvania class armored cruiser that was built at the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, California, and was commissioned on 1 August 1907. She was approximately 503 feet long and 69 feet wide, and had a top speed of 22 knots and a crew of 830 officers and men. California was armed with four 8-inch guns, fourteen 6-inch guns, eighteen 3-inch guns, and two 18-inch torpedo tubes.
After California was commissioned, she spent 10 years serving in the Pacific. She was assigned to the Second Division, Pacific Fleet, and took part in the naval review at San Francisco in May 1908 for the Secretary of the Navy. California cruised the coasts of Hawaii and Samoa in the fall of 1908 and spent a great deal of time patrolling off the West Coast of the United States. In March 1912, California was sent to the US Asiatic Station in the Far East, but in August she was sent to Nicaragua to protect American lives and property during that country's political unrest. She then resumed patrolling America's West Coast but was on constant alert to steam towards Mexico because of the frequent rebellions plaguing that country.
On 1 September 1914, the USS California was renamed San Diego to free up her name for a battleship that was being constructed. San Diego often served as the flagship for the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, but a boiler explosion sent her to the Mare island Navy Yard in California for repairs during the summer of 1915. San Diego resumed her role as flagship in the fall. On 12 February 1917, she was put into reserve status until the start of America's involvement in World War I.
San Diego was re-commissioned on 7 April 1917 and was the flagship for the Commander, Patrol Force, Pacific Fleet, until 18 July, when she was ordered to join the Atlantic Fleet. She reached Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 4 August and was assigned to Cruiser Division 2. San Diego eventually became the flagship of the Commander, Cruiser Force, Atlantic, and she functioned in this role until 19 September 1917.
San Diego's next mission was to escort merchant convoys for the first part of their journey to Europe from the United States. San Diego was based at Tompkinsville, New York, and at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and she protected Allied merchant ships from German U-boats until the convoy could be handed off to other escorts in the mid-Atlantic. But on 19 July 1918, while steaming from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to New York City, San Diego was torpedoed by U-156 just to the southeast of Fire Island, New York. The cruiser sank in 28 minutes with the loss of six lives. Although several smaller American naval vessels were sunk during World War I, the USS San Diego was the only major US warship lost during that conflict.

Deb Lebel: I began working in HIV when…
Until 1987, I worked in the public affairs office of a statewide Planned Parenthood affiliate where I helped plan advocacy conferences. A few colleagues talked about this "new" disease, AIDS, but I didn't see patients and didn't know much about the epidemic.

Putumayo Presents South Africa (Putumayo PUT 301-2, 2010)
Next Stop… Soweto: Township Sounds From The Golden Age Of Mbaqanga (Strut STRUT054CD, 2010)
Next Stop… Soweto Vol. 2: Soultown, R&B, Funk & Psych Grooves From The Townships 1969-1976 (Strut STRUT057CD, 2010)
Next Stop… Soweto Vol. 3: Giants, Ministers and Makers- Jazz In South Africa 1963-1984 (Strut STRUT063CD, 2010)
I'm not a sports fan, so I only care about the fact that South Africa is hosting soccer's World Cup insofar as I care about global affairs in general. I care greatly, however, about South Africa's music and am thus pleased to bring word of such to those with similar concerns.
The prolific Putumayo label gave us a solid collection titled South African Legends a decade ago and their revisiting of the region, titled simply South Africa, is another no-filler sampling of the country's musical variety. The Soul Brothers, Miriam Makeba and the Soweto Gospel Choir are the most readily recognizable names here and each is represented suitably, with Makeba's vintage township tribute "Orlando" a poignant reminder of what a phenomenal singer she was.
As with many a Putumayo comp, much of the spotlight is given to lesser-known artists, and they do not disappoint: Blk Sonshine shines with a track which includes rapping that's not only listenable but good; Nibs van der Spuy's "Beautiful Feet" is an oddly lovely piece of melancholy reggae; Steve Dyer gives us jazz that stops short of being too smooth; the late Johannes Kerkorrel seeks musical redress on "Halala Afrika" and the contemporary kwaito style gets its due from Kaya. Thanks to a strong lineup and likewise strong songs, this South African team is a clear winner.
South African music prior to the end of the evil Apartheid era is another matter altogether, and a new three-volume series from Strut Records entitled Next Stop… Soweto serves as an explosively good overview of three different genres that defied the pain of oppression and told the oppressors where to shove it.
The first volume, Next Stop… Soweto: Township Sounds From The Golden Age Of Mbaqanga, is dedicated to the rocking, stomping mbaqanga style popularized internationally by Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, who are represented along with 18 others. Primarily guitar-and-drum-driven, the mbaqanga here is a deliciously low-fi combination of Zulu jive and Western instrumentation (often including horns) that's infectious almost beyond belief. Be prepared to dance your ass off.
Pretty much the whole of the African continent was influenced by American soul and funk, and despite particularly strict censorship, South Africa was no exception. Vol. 2: Soultown, R&B, Funk & Psych Grooves From The Townships 1969-1976 is an hour's worth of late '60s/early'70s South Africans getting down and getting funky, often mixing things up with local styles. This is the most revelatory, unexpected entry in the series, and it's absolutely killer all the way through.
The jazz scene in South Africa is well known and influential, and the third Next Stop… Soweto disc, Giants, Ministers and Makers- Jazz In South Africa 1963-1984, is a heavenly 79-minute journey through it. First-rate romps like Mankunku Quartet's salute to John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, Malombo's more specifically African fusion and Batsumi's bass-anchored swing are guaranteed to please. Some of these tracks sound lifted directly from vinyl, complete with background crackles that only add to the charm. Absolutely essential.

A Humanistic company
The history
In 1978 the initial core of a company was established driven by the desire to create a different way of doing business in the twenty-first century; it was to be based on a contemporary form of humanism that over the years the international press has identified as a "humanistic" capitalism, where profit can be sought without damaging mankind.
Its clients view Brunello Cucinelli as an expression of a sophisticated concept of contemporary lifestyle and the brand is firmly rooted in quality excellence, Italian craftsmanship and creativity; these pillars are considered the foundations on which sustainable growth can be built in the long run.
During my lifetime I have always nurtured a dream: useful work to achieve an important goal. I have always felt that business profit alone was not enough to fulfil my dream and a higher purpose was to be found.
Dignity and Guardianship
"We have always striven to act as guardians of the creation".
"Humanistic company, ethics and production... I found it increasingly difficult not to adopt a concept of work and human action based on positivity and belief in the future".
Culture and beauty
Culture and beauty emphasize human creativity; they are inspiring values.
These principles enable Brunello Cucinelli to blend tradition and modernity in a single picture, to smoothly combine corporate objectives and human needs, and to work in harmony between the local and the global dimensions.

The problem: To hire an architect and build the kind of addition that the Agoura Hills couple wanted would have cost six figures.
Prefab rooms: In today's Home section, an article on backyard prefab structures describes Bonnie and Michael Kelly as being from Agoura Hills. They live in nearby Cornell. The article also says Warren and Kate Ostergard spent $25,000 on their Modern-Shed prefab. The structure cost $20,000, and they spent $5,000 more to add a deck, dog door, custom workstations, flat-panel TV and other features. —
The solution: The couple bought two 9- by 13-foot prefabricated buildings, which were assembled days after being delivered on flatbed trucks.
"It was instant gratification," says Bonnie Kelly, who like her husband, a biotechnology executive, couldn't be more satisfied with their $80,000 investment.
In recent years, prefab construction has generated plenty of buzz in magazines such as Dwell and at exhibitions such as one last year at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The original promise of prefab decades ago was savings of time and money that could be passed along to consumers in the form of inexpensive housing. But because most of the premier manufacturers today specialize in custom homes that can cost $250 a square foot and up, prefab has been far more popular in design blogs and at home expos than with actual buyers.
One exception has been scaled-down prefab construction -- not entire houses but stand-alone additions. According to Casper Mork-Ulnes, co-founder of San Francisco manufacturer Modern Cabana: "Small prefab modules make sense for anyone who might need a home office, a guest house, a meditation or yoga space or a cigar room that can open to the outdoors."
Modern Cabana is one of several companies poised to thrive while weak real estate values force homeowners to stay put rather than trade up. Some prefab manufacturers produce utilitarian buildings; others, more stylish ones. All provide extra living space.
KitHaus, among the most fashion-forward of the bunch, is based in Van Nuys and sold through Design Within Reach.
Modern-Shed, located in Seattle, has sold half of its 140 prefab buildings in California, where interest in contemporary architecture abounds.
"The West Coast has always been more adventurous," says Ryan Smith, owner of Modern-Shed. "The modern aesthetic, which pretty much began in L.A., is a huge draw."
Though some areas in California do not require permits for these so-called accessory buildings if they are less than 120 square feet, in Los Angeles County such permits are required for all habitable structures with electrical or plumbing. But once permit issues have been resolved, a kit structure's appeal can go beyond a functional, attractive space. The buildings can be assembled in days, which means a family doesn't have to relocate during construction or live with contractors traipsing through. And the buildings can be disassembled and moved.
"We used to live in Boston and still have a house in Maine," Bonnie Kelly says. "Originally, we thought these buildings would add value to the house here when we sell. But if we move back to the East Coast, we'll take them with us."
When the Kellys decided to add space for their kids, Jared and Mara, they opted for sleek units from KitHaus. Each structure sports an aluminum frame and walls, sliding glass doors, operable windows and luxe options such as a deck, louvers and canopies made of sustainable ipe wood. Each can hold six kids during sleepovers, and if the Kellys put in the swimming pool they've been considering, the buildings could double as pool houses.
Playrooms and pool houses are all well and good, but prefab buildings also serve as home offices.
For film producer Warren Ostergard and his wife, Kate, a prefab building makes it possible to separate or combine work and play as needed.
With their son, Trip, on the way last summer, the Ostergards converted a bedroom in their Highland Park bungalow into a nursery, which meant their home office and guest room had to go elsewhere. So they bought a 12- by 16-foot kit building from Modern-Shed.
Less than a week after it arrived, the couple had an office with cement-board siding pre-painted to match the color and trim of their house. They wired their shed for custom workstations, wireless Internet, a flat-panel TV and surround sound, plus added a dog door. They paid $25,000, or about half what an office addition would have cost.
"Now, we're able to walk out of the house to go to work because it's a separate space," says Kate Ostergard, marketing director for a travel website. "That's great for us and for anyone staying overnight who doesn't want to be in the way."
Another benefit of prefab buildings is that they're not susceptible to the project creep and cost overruns that often send remodeling budgets spiraling out of control. Because homeowners select materials and features from a manufacturer's predetermined list of options, they know exactly what they'll be getting and how much they'll be paying.
So when urban planner Maya Dunne of Laguna Beach lost her job to downsizing and turned to freelancing, she and her husband, law professor John Dombrink, abandoned plans for an extensive master bedroom addition and renovation. Instead, they bought a 10- by 12-foot cedar structure from Modern Cabana to serve as her office.
"It's a good solution for when things happen and your situation changes," Dunne says. "It's a way to accommodate the unexpected."
For $22,000 -- plus permit fees -- Dunne got a cabana featuring double French doors and four full-length fixed windows that give it the airy feel of a garden pavilion. She incorporated eco-friendly upgrades such as recycled-denim insulation and bamboo flooring.
"With this office, I could balance affordability with sustainability," Dunne says.
"I didn't have to sacrifice my dream."

Standardized interconnection rules provide clear and uniform processes and technical requirements for safely connecting CHP to the electric utility grid.
A streamlined process reduces uncertainty, prevents delays, and ensures that the requirements are appropriate for the size, scope, and technology of the system. Standardized rules also assure that the project interconnection meets the safety and reliability needs of both the energy end-user and the utility.
While most states have adopted standardized interconnection rules over the past decade, a few states have yet to enact standards. Others are in need of updating to match current best practices.
The most effective interconnection rules are those that have:
Note that interconnection standards based on net-metered systems are insufficient for recycled energy, because net metering rules are usually limited to only very small systems.

Awesome article!! Really digging the picture, the font, and the message! 🙂
Sir John Franklin lived an exciting life of adventure in the British Navy, which took him to many parts of the world. As a signal midshipman in the Battle of Trafalgar, he transmitted the memorable message from the flagship, "England expects every man to do his duty." He was a devout Christian and found great strength in reading the Bible. His men said they would rather have him hold a service than most ministers.
In 1845 he was put in command of two ships to look for a passage across the polar seas. The last communication from them came through their contact with a whaling ship in Baffin Bay.
Many expeditions were made in the next ten years to learn the fate of Sir John Franklin's ships. Pieces of equipment found on beaches told of shipwreck in the icy seas. One of the books was Sir John Franklin's Bible with the following verses underlined: "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me" (Psalm 139:9, 10). There was also a book of devotions with a page turned down at the verse: "Fear not … When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee" (Isa. 43:1, 2).—Free Methodist[1]
Leadership is challenging. Real leadership is rare. Servant leadership is inspiring. I would love to tell you I was a natural-born leader, but that would be untrue. I learned leadership the hard way. I made a lot of rookie mistakes. I tried to lead congregations through radical changes without first building relationships. I have a head full of leadership lumps to prove it. It is my hope through teaching about leadership I can help save others from some of those hard life lessons. Chances are some won't listen. They may have to learn the hard way.
Our test subject is Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 2, we are going to examine 4 qualities during this series of posts on leadership. Nehemiah possessed these characteristics and they are keys elements to be an effective leader.
God Uses People Who Are Willing to Wait
Chapter one begins with Nehemiah saying, "In the month of Kisley," which is December. Chapter 2 begins with Nehemiah saying, "In the month of Nisan," which is the month of April. Notice that there is a time lapse of about four months. When Nehemiah heard the bad news about the conditions in Jerusalem, he cried, he prayed, and he fasted. He said to God, "Use me, send me to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls." Then what happened? Nothing! At least not immediately, but Nehemiah didn't lose hope. He didn't give up on his dream. Instead, he waited.
Patience is a leadership lesson young leaders and some old need to take time and care to value. I never wanted to be told no. I was so convinced that the ministry needed to happen yesterday. Are you like that as well? Does everything ministry decision seem urgent? We need to make this decision now; souls are at stake. So, we push our people faster than we should and are critical of them when they fail to have that same sense of the urgent that we do.
It is often necessary for us to wait on God's timing. For 40 years Joshua served in obscurity as Moses' assistant. He did not attract a great deal of attention to himself, but when Moses died, Joshua was ready to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. His time had come. He waited 40 years, and he was prepared. Oh boy, 40 years. That seems far too long to be an assistant pastor. The words of the psalmist ring loudly in our ears. "Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14)
American Christians hate to wait for anything or anybody. We want what we want when we want it. That rings true even when it comes to our spiritual life. We want to be spiritually mature, and we want the 30 day crash course. We're likely to pray, "Lord, give me more patience—and give it to me yesterday!"
There have been several times when new people have come to my church, and after several weeks have offered to "be a leader." My response was "slow down there partner. We have this little clause in our church constitution that you cannot hold office until you have been a member for a few years." Looking back, the founder of the congregation added that clause with the leading of God's divine wisdom.
The inability to wait on God's timing indicates a lack of spiritual maturity. A servant leader understands that you need to walk before you sprint.
God Uses People with A Positive Attitude
(v. 2) "In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before…"
The noted English architect Sir Christopher Wren was supervising the construction of a magnificent cathedral in London. A journalist thought it would be interesting to interview some of the workers, so he chose three and asked them this question, "What are you doing?" The first replied, "I'm cutting stone for 10 shillings a day." The next answered, "I'm putting in 10 hours a day on this job." But the third said, "I'm helping Sir Christopher Wren construct one of London's greatest cathedrals."
Attitude is everything. Great leaders have a great attitude. Attitude inspires loyalty and commitment. If your people are not excited about the direction you are taking them as a leader, stop and check your attitude.
Nehemiah at this point in the wall reconstruction process had been heart-broken about his homeland for four months. But Nehemiah never let that disappointment show. Instead, he channeled that into a deeper commitment to serve the king with a pleasant disposition.
Negative people make negative followers. Positive leaders create real followers. Since leaders always have more problems than most people, leaders also face bigger challenges than most people. Leaders need to find the inner strength to rise above their pain and do their job with a positive attitude. Christian leaders especially need to realize that the success of the ministry is not solely dependent on them, if it is, you need to question if this is God's vision and not yours. If it is God's vision, he will provide the means and the timing to make it a reality.

I have had more than enough experience working with bad leaders in the corporate world. They think being tagged as a "leader" gives them the right to demean and design unreasonable workloads. That is one of the main reasons I quit being a corporate slave. Honestly, I feel that there is only one true leader, that is God and it is His Ways that should be emulated as true leadership.
Your post makes a nice read! I believe that no one is born as a true leader but people gain skills throughout their life to become a great leader.
There are people who were born leaders and there are those who were trained. I don't think it matters how you become a leader so long as you a good one. I have to agree, it's how we use that power, our attitude and mindset.
I guess I am a leader, but that comes from many years of being well somewhat walked all over. It was once having children that I found my voice and my inner leadership skills came to the surface, I am much better at standing up for others than I am for myself.
Thank you for bringing up about Nehemiah. He is a great example of a leader! Being a leader is not only about leading but also know and want to be a 'servant' in certain situations.
I really enjoyed reading your post! Great insight! I would have to say I was not a leader until I had children. This is when I built my voice and my patience.
Having the characeter to lead is one thing, beign a born leader is another. Great post.
