Warmest year on record
From Conservapedia
The warmest year on record (calendar year) in the United States was 1934.[1]
However, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, the warmest 12-month period (since its records began in January 1895) was May 2011 to April 2012 (based on preliminary data).[2]

I've raved and raved about the Bloomberg Law Reports (only because our faculty keep telling me how good they are). I'm pleased to see a new subject enter the arena: Bloomberg Law Reports: Class Actions. Vol. 1, no. 1 is dated September 2008.
The "Featured Article" is "Class Actions in Canada," by Sean P. Wajert.
For those of you interested in class actions worldwide, we have a new resource here at Stanford, the Global Class Actions Exchange (which also has a paper about Canadian class actions — as well as papers covering many other countries).

So now that we know a little more about our sleep cycle and the importance of both deep and REM sleep – how can we ensure that we get the amount of good quality sleep that we need? Using some ideas from the list below try and incorporate them into your own little sleep ritual and you'll find that you'll be feeling refreshed in no time!
Although regular exercise helps you to sleep, exercising within 2 hours of your bedtime can keep you awake for longer due to increasing your adrenaline levels, your heart rate, and your body temperature – remember all of these factors need to decrease in order to enter your sleep cycle.
Check Your Surroundings
Is your neck or back achy and sore upon waking? Or do you find that you never have enough room in the bed? Chances are that your mattress is no longer capable of supporting your body and if you co-sleep with your partner you may not have enough room stretch out and get comfortable – leading to you waking throughout the night.
Mattresses should ideally be replaced every 8 eight years1 however if you can't afford to replace your mattress or upgrade your bed look into purchasing a memory foam 'mattress topper' and rotate your mattress every 3 months. It might also be a great idea to replace your pillows too.
It's not just your bed that could be the problem – as your body needs to drop in temperature to go into a deep sleep it may well be a good idea to cool your room. Try opening your window and airing out your bedroom for a little while before going to bed. The optimal temperature for your bedroom should be roughly around 18°C although this can vary from person to person so have an experiment with various temperatures.1
If you haven't already, invest in a pair of blackout blinds or curtains to block out any excess light such as the light emitted from street lamps which will thus act as a stimulant to your brain, keeping you awake.
Take a Power Nap
There is evidence that power napping can leave you refreshed and with better mental clarity. The benchmark seems to be 20-30 minutes however others say not to nap for more than 20 minutes or else you'll end up running the risk of suffering from grogginess. Some others say to power nap for 90 minutes as you should by then be in the REM stage of sleep and due to your brain being in an already active state you should wake feeling refreshed. I think that this could be something to explore further but for now I shall leave you to undertake your own research on this one!
Reduce Your Caffeine and Nicotine Intake
Caffeine and nicotine are both stimulants meaning that keep your brain waves are at a higher frequency – like those beta waves I mentioned earlier in my previous article (the brain waves that occur when you are awake) keeping you awake at night or disturbing your overall quality of deep and REM sleep. Ditch the cigarettes, coffee, green tea, chocolate, and recreational drugs before bedtime people and keep intake minimal throughout the daytime! In fact don't drink any caffeine for at least 8 hours before going to bed.
Don't Exercise Before You Sleep
That's right you heard me. Although regular exercise helps you to sleep, exercising within 2 hours of your bedtime can keep you awake for longer due to increasing your adrenaline levels, your heart rate, and your body temperature – remember all of these factors need to decrease in order to enter your sleep cycle and go into deep and REM sleep.
Avoid Blue Light Devices
Blue light devices such as smartphones, computers, and tablets emit high levels of blue light (fancy that) and are designed to look like the rays emitted by the sun. Blue light is prominent throughout the daytime and so using these devices during the day can actually be beneficial and could in fact boost your energy, however during the night it can delay the release of certain hormones that help you get to sleep. Try and avoid blue light devices from 21:00 onward. If there is one thing on this list that you should follow then this is the biggie!
But… if you have to use your computer late at night (I absolutely have to these days in order to get my work done) then download a piece of software called f.lux (in fact just download it anyway as it works wonders). f.lux mimics the natural light in your surroundings emitting a more warming tone of light and can actually help you to go to bed earlier and sleep better. Don't worry though – if you have any colour sensitive work to do such as photo or video editing then you can turn it off temporarily.
Download a Sleep App
Yup this may sound a little contradictory to avoiding blue light devices but there are plenty of apps out there for you to utilise in order to help you to fall asleep, and wake up naturally, such as Sleep Genius and Pzizz. I've personally used Pzizz in the past and although a little odd to use at first (the man's voice is a tad creepy) it did knock me out cold for the night. It also helps you to take an optimal power nap too.
Buy or Download a Sleep Tracker
I'm currently using the Jawbone UP3 in order to track my overall health – it tells me how much light, deep, and REM sleep that I've had by tracking my heart rate and movement in the night, it prompts me to go to bed early, and also wakes me up gently using light vibrations. If you can't afford to buy a sleep tracker, but have a smartphone, try downloading the app Sleep Cycle. Sleep Cycle works by using the speaker on your phone in order to track your movements.
Take a Magnesium Supplement
Almost everyone is deficient in magnesium. Although you can get plenty of magnesium from foods such as seaweed, pumpkin seeds, and almond butter it isn't always absorbed by the body properly and the level that your body needs is incredibly high. Your body uses magnesium for producing adenosine triphospate molecules (ATP) that are responsible for supplying your body with energy. Magnesium also relaxes your blood vessels, regulates your blood sugar, and promotes proper formation of your bones and teeth.
Try taking a magnesium supplement between 400-500mg about 30 minutes before bedtime and always take the chelated form, which removes heavy metals from the bloodstream, such as magnesium citrate, magnesium lactate, and magnesium glycinate (basically anything ending in -ate).2,3 Magnesium glycinate has the highest level of absorption and bioavailability out of all of the magnesium supplements although I am yet to find a liquid or powdered form that doesn't contain a lot of extra junk such as agave nectar. My favourite brand of magnesium is Natural Vitality which is a powdered form of magnesium citrate that you simply add to hot water for a brilliant stress busting drink. I love the whole night time ritual of making it and really enjoy the taste too. Always go for the unflavoured version though as the other flavours contain a few nasties.
It might be a good idea to initially build up your dosage so start out at around 200mg and work your way up as some people find that they can be susceptible to diarrhea (especially with the citrate form).
Snack Before Bedtime
That's right if you're a mid night waker then you might want to have a high carb snack – more specifically though – raw honey. Why raw honey? The average adult liver can only store around 75-100g of glycogen a day and the average adult burns around 10g of glycogen every hour. This, as you can imagine, doesn't leave much glycogen left over for our bodies to use for that must needed energy for when we are sleeping (and also fasting while doing so). When your liver glycogen gets low this triggers a stress response which will raise your cortisol levels and wake you from your peaceful slumber. To top up these glycogen levels before bedtime try eating 1-2 teaspoons of raw organic honey.4 If you are intermittently fasting however you may want to take some coconut oil or MCT oil to keep you in ketosis.
If raw honey doesn't take your fancy then try eating a small piece of fresh fruit or a medjool date.
Practice Grounding/Earthing
Do you ever wonder why it feels so great to be barefoot in nature? Why it is so relaxing and peaceful? We were born naked, without shoes, and if you think we were supposed to be whacking on big synthetic chunks of material on our feet then think again. Grounding, also known as earthing, is the process of placing your bare feet to the ground and evening out the balance of positive and negative electrons. The ground carries a negative charge whilst your body carries a positive charge – your body over time will build up these positive electrons in the form of free radicals. Free radicals damage animal tissue and there have been links found to them increasing your risk of cancer and speeding up the ageing process.5,6
To get 'grounded' go outside before bedtime and place your bare feet on the grass or concrete – you won't be able to get grounded on asphalt or wooden decking however as they aren't conductors but rather insulators. To ensure that you are grounding properly, and for the electrons to be 'conducted', always make sure that your surface is a little damp at first. Alternatively if you can't stomach the cold ground then you can buy a pair of conductive shoes such as those from the brand 'Earth Runners'. If the going outside is an issue then buy yourself a decent grounding mat – you can buy so many different variations these days such as; ones to put under your desk or by your keyboard, sheets that go over your bed, and even wrist bands.
Set an Alarm 30 Minutes Before You Actually Want to Wake Up!
This might sound a little insane but remember what I said in my previous article about wanting to wake up in REM sleep? If you want to wake up refreshed then try setting an alarm that is a multiple of 90 minutes – 90 minutes is one full sleep cycle remember. The first REM sleep cycle lasts 10 minutes and each subsequent cycle gets longer with the final one lasting up to 1 hour. Let's say that you go to bed at 23:00. If you set your alarm for 06:30 instead of 07:00 or 07:30 your brain will wake up when it is in a more active state thus not causing you to feel that much hated grogginess upon waking. So 7 and a half hours of sleep could actually be more beneficial than 8!7

[Watch] St. Vincent performs "Cheerleader" on Conan
Kicking off this week's late night performances is St. Vincent, who visited the set of Conan to perform the song "Cheerleader" from her latest LP Strange Mercy. But, before performing a fantastic live rendition of the track, St. Vincent launched into Elvis Costello's "Radio Radio" only to stop and say, "I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, there's no reason to play that song." The move, while perhaps unknown to many, was actually a witty acknowledgment of Costello's infamous 1977 Saturday Night Live performance, of which you can read about here. In the player above, you can watch the entirety of St. Vincent's performance, courtesy of The Audio Perv.
As well, St. Vincent will be performing at this year's Coachella Music Festival, and will also be co-headlining a series of shows alongside Merrill Garbus, aka the brains behind tUnE-yArDs.

Geelong Dredging Program 2016
Australia depends on ports for its economic health.
Australia depends on ports for its economic health.
Shipping channels are our saltwater highways. And, just like vital land links, they need constant maintenance and improvement to remain safe and efficient for the continually evolving fleet and trades they service.
Victorian Regional Channels Authority is currently carrying out a $5 million upgrade centred on its shipping lanes in Corio Bay. The Geelong Dredging Program 2016 will ensure that the Port of Geelong, Victoria's premier bulk cargo port, keeps its competitive edge and strong focus on safe navigation.
VRCA investigations show a global trend in shipping to increasingly larger vessels to achieve economies of scale. The authority and the Port Phillip Sea Pilots, who carefully guide ships into the Port of Geelong, know even small increases in a ship's dimensions can have serious ramifications when navigating Corio Bay's narrow channels. The multi-million dollar improvements are a key to providing safe, efficient passage for the next generation of longer and wider ships to the busy port.
The Geelong Dredging Project 2016, funded by VRCA, involves:
VRCA conducted the necessary planning and environmental approvals process during 2016, and will complete the works by the end of January 2018. NZ-based Heron Construction Company will carry out the dredging work. Heron will use its backhoe dredger Machiavelli to excavate the material from the seabed 24 hours a day during the program, which will take up to 7 weeks to complete. Two split-hopper barges, manoeuvred by tugs, will transport the dredged material to an approved dredge material ground in Port Phillip Bay about six kilometres east of Point Wilson. The bed levelling tug Edi will use a levelling blade to trim the seabed after dredging has been completed.
This dredge material ground has been used for previous projects, including the major capital dredging works in the Geelong channel network in 1997, and the Geelong Dredging Programs 2014 and 2015.
Dredging is a routine part of maintaining and improving Geelong's shipping channels. It has occurred periodically during the past 150 years and is an important activity in ensuring the Port of Geelong and its channel network can operate at capacity now and in the future.
Geelong's shipping hub and the companies reliant on it generate billions of dollars for the region each year and provide jobs for more than 7000 people. It's an important gateway to the rest of the world for Victoria's wide-ranging businesses, and it helps keep the state's economic heart beating strongly.
The Geelong Dredging Project 2016 is governed by an approved Environmental Management Plan and dredging contractors must follow a strict set of rules that ensure the protection of Corio Bay's marine environment. Monitoring after the 1997 major capital dredging project, which removed 20 times the volume of material earmarked for the current work, and recent dredging experience has revealed no long-term health effect on the bay's marine environment.
The dredging schedule will not impact on commercial ships or the port's daily operations, but recreational bay users must observe a 200 metre exclusion zone around major dredging equipment as part of a raft of strict safety rules.
VRCA acknowledges people have a genuine interest in Corio Bay. The authority set up a community group to discuss its dredging plans several months ago and will continue to consult with members and port stakeholders as work progresses.

|This session is about making a professional living making games while being on the fringes of game development, skirting the line between commercially viable and more experimental games. KO_OP is a studio that's existed for 5 years now, comprised of a bunch of folks who never made games before starting the studio, and structured as a cooperative, where every full-time employee is an equal owner of the company, regardless of anyone's individual financial investments. This session is about explaining the reasons behind the structure of the studio and how that structure lays out a different vision for game development, one that is more ethical and survivable.

Welcome to my 2014 Roundup of Summer Travel — a fun rundown of my favourite adventures from the last few months!
In This Travel Article You Will Discover:
- Why I love Newfoundland
- The best Seattle restaurants
- How to do California right
- Hipsters
It is raining in Vancouver, British Columbia. Really raining. That means it's winter—fall, specifically, but let's be honest. It's winter.
Next week, I leave for Malaysia. Soon after, my winter-season-pass at Sea to Sky Gondola kicks off. My wife and I will be doing some storm-watching in Tofino in December too. And it looks like I'll be in Mexico twice in early 2015. That mean's it's winter travel season for sure.
So, let's look back at an awesome summer of travel. This is my highlight reel:
In June, I kicked-off summer on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. I hadn't been to this Maritime province before. It was awesome. We surfed with one of Canada's top pros at Lawrencetown Beach, kayaked with a local legend (outspoken Scott Cunningham) and even did some hands-on blacksmithing at Sherbrooke Village. And lobster. So much lobster.
The sunny shores of Central California called to us next. Erin and I flew into San Francisco, drank wine, then drank some more wine in Napa Valley, and hit up a bunch of wineries along the Central Coast en route to L.A. We also went kayaking and did some other stuff I guess. But wine. So much wine.
I was barely back a few days before I was again driving through 'Merica — this time to the unbearably hip city of Portland. This is a 'burg of craft beer, live music, local foods and hipster trends that will already be uncool by the time you hear about them. It's a great Dude's Getaway — a couple of buddies and I try to do an annual roadtrip. (We pull it off every couple of years.)
Speaking of hipsters, about a month later I was in Brooklyn. Well, Manhattan, but I walked the Brooklyn Bridge to see the birthplace of the scene. Erin and love NYC. We've been twice, and following each time we've seriously considered moving there. The food, the culture, the architecture and the pulsing energy are intoxicating. But shortly thereafter, we always decide to keep an idealized view of Manhattan rather than make it our home. This usually has a lot to do with discovering the reality of rent in NYC.
I went straight from NY to Salt Lake City for the biannual Outdoor Retailer show. It's a gathering of the world's outdoor brands: The North Face, Canada Goose, Columbia… it's a great place to connect, but SLC is a desperately uncultured city. Utah, I love. Salt Lake, not a fan.
Less than two weeks later, I was back at YVR to board a flight to Winnipeg for the annual GoMedia Marketplace. This is another awesome event, where media from around the world connect with reps from Canadian tourism regions. I get a lot of story ideas here, plus, I reconnect with friends. As part of the package, I even spent a day canoeing past wild rice paddies on the Pinawa River, about 90 minutes east of The 'Peg. Great day. And later, a polar bear stood on my head. (Sort of.)
I was off to Newfoundland & Labrador straight from Peg City — another province I had yet to visit. (Last one is New Brunswick!) Rather than touring classic St. John's and Gros Morne, I spent the week in Central Newfoundland, checking out the rural areas around Burlington. It was packaged alongside The Gathering, a food and music event organized by Burlington-born comedian/actor Shaun Majumder. Sam Roberts headlined. The head chef from New York's Waldorf Astoria made us lunch (yes, a Waldorf salad) on the shores a secluded bay. I couldn't always understand what they were saying, but I really liked everybody I met in Newfoundland. It's a gem of a place. Can't wait to go back.
Three days later, I was once again driving across the U.S. border, this time to another favourite weekend getaway of ours, Seattle. Good restaurants were on our agenda. We chowed at Salty's Waterfront Seafood Grill in West Seattle the first night. Fantastic fish and the best view in the city. The next night, we dined at Stoneburner Restaurant, in my favourite neighbourhood: Ballard. Old Ballard is character incarnate — microbrews, knick-knack shops, farmer's markets and awesome eateries everywhere. At Stoneburner, in the Hotel Ballard, we started our meal with craft charcuterie (my new favourite word) and I followed that up with the brick-pressed chicken. And a pint of pitch-dark dunkelweiss. So good.
Aside from the occasional trip to Vancouver Island and the usual outdoors/motorcycle stuff, I have stayed put in Van City for two months. Malaysia, next week, is looking really good.

Supply Chain Solutions No.42 – Supplier late shipment Penalty
Is placing a penalty on a supplier for late shipment a necessity that ensures the product reaches the customer on time or something draconian and unnecessary? There is always an expectation that deliveries will be 100% on time every time, but in reality, it's hard to achieve due to unforeseen factors that can influence the desired result.
On-time shipment is a critical KPI that needs to be monitored monthly as well as been a key contributor to the vendor's performance scorecard. Measuring delivery performance with assigned reason codes for non-conformance per line item, drives statistics which help to identifies the key failure cause which should be used as a mechanism for continuous improvement.
The non-conformance reason code will identify the root cause failures, as follows;
- Internal delays or errors
- Downstream supplier late delivery of nominated raw materials
- Contracted supplier finished goods delays or errors
- Quality failure – Internal
- Quality failure – Supplier
- Circumstances beyond any parties control
Some non-conformance reasons are out of the supplier's control. Ensure exact reasons codes have been assigned by conducting due diligence where necessary. Only by having the correct reason code will actionable information drive meaningful continuous improvement.
Back to the original question, should vendors be penalised for late shipments? Yes, vendors should be punished but only after going through the due-diligence process. Penalties should not be assigned in a carte blanche manner, where suppliers perform give them a warning, if there are subjective circumstances meet them halfway and if vendors are continually improving you may want to give some leeway.
Below are suggested penalties;
1-7 days after delivery window – 1.5% of total shipment value
8-14 days after delivery window – 3.0% of total shipment value
15-21 days after delivery window – 5.0% of total shipment value
22+ days after delivery window – 7.5% of total shipment value
A late shipment of any type, maybe subject to order cancellation and any other penalties thereof and/or airfreight. If the vendor pays the airfreight and the goods still make the instore delivery date, there should be no penalty. Vendors may additionally be subject to penalties imposed by retailers for late delivery.
Where vendors deliver early, this should be considered delivery outside of the contracted delivery window, and unless agreed should be regarded as a contract non-compliance that is not subject to any penalty other than storage where necessary.
While 100% on time delivery is always the desired result, depending on your business model may not be easily reached. Large quantity low complexity business models with long lead-time should go close to achieving 98-100% on time delivery, however where the model is low quantity high product mix and high complexity, a lower on-time delivery would be expected, 95-97% on average.

Daughter will turn 22 this coming October 6. It means that my tax exemption for her will end since the law only allows the age of until 21 for her to be included as my dependent qualified for tax exemption. This would mean a higher tax for me this year and for the coming years since only two of my children now will be covered as my qualified dependents with tax exemption.

Harrington wants Irish Open party
By Brian Keogh
Padraig Harrington wants a party atmosphere at Adare Manor when he bids to end a 25-year wait for a home winner of the new-look Irish Open.
The Dubliner, 35, believes he has a golden opportunity to smash an Irish hoodoo that dates back to John O'Leary's famous win at Portmarnock in 1982.
And he hopes that the fans turn out "in droves" when the €2.5 million spectacular hits the five-star Limerick resort from May 17-20.
Adare Manor boss Tom Kane has gone out on his own this year and while there is no title sponsor he has attracted support from the cream of Irish industry with a raft of 'Proud Partners' and official sponsors boosting the prize fund by €300,000 to €2.5 million.
And after romping to victory in the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare two years ago, Harrington can't wait to break out the bubbly west of the Shannon in what has been dubbed The People's Open.
He beamed: "The Irish Open is definitely something I want on my CV. It is a big title and definitely something you want to win. No question.
"At this stage I want any Irish title. John O'Leary won in 1982, 25 years ago. But this is a great opportunity for me. We are coming to a golf course that suits me. I am looking forward to it without a doubt.
"The golf course that suits your eye is a delight to play. There is something about it that makes you feel comfortable on it. The whole experience of Adare is like that.
"From the minute to you get to the town, whether you are inside the estate or not, there is a fantastic atmosphere and it is a wonderful place to be. That all adds to the experience of the week."
Speaheaded by former US marine corps pilot Kane, the Irish Open has a new partner and sponsorship set up this year with Fáilte Ireland, McInerney, Michael McNamara & Co and Pallas Foods stumping up €300,000 each.
Official sponsors Audi Ireland, Limerick County Council, Rolex and Shannon Development have added another €150,000 each - increasing the prize fund by €300,000 to €2.5 million.
Brown Thomas, Cutter & Buck, Dooley Car Rentals, Philips, Ricoh and Waterford Crystal have also come on board as Official Suppliers.
Defending his solo approach, Kane said: "I am of the strong belief that the national championship deserves, and is worthy, of a standalone brand.
"I believe that we should therefore operate in the same manner as The Open Championship and Masters Tournament and not be reliant on a title sponsor."
Less than 12 months after the Ryder Cup at the K Club, Harrington hopes that the fans come out in droves to support the People's Open.
He added: "I think the Ryder Cup could have a knock on effect. In Limerick the fans came out and supported the JP McManus Pro-Am and I think they will come out and support the Irish Open.
"With The Ryder Cup, I think it had a big effect on the golfing public but a bigger effect on the non-golfing public of Ireland. Hopefully it will bring them out, get more non-golfers out for the Irish Open.
"Maybe people saw the Ryder Cup but were unable to get tickets and now want to come and have a look and see what all this fuss about this game is all about."
An elite field in being assembled by the European Tour with Dane Bjorn determined to defend the title - and enjoy the party.
With a festival planned for the picturesque town of Adare during Irish Open week, he's hoping that the electric atmosphere will inspire him to a sterling title defence.
Bjorn said: "I think it is great that the Irish Open is going back to the west coast of Ireland. There is always a certain expectation when the Tour goes there.
"It has always been one of the best supported tournaments we play. Wherever we go in the world, there is always a feeling this one is the People's Open.
"The Irish people always come out in force. The Ryder Cup in particular showed how much the Irish people get behind the game of golf.
"From a players' perspective, there is nothing better than to play golf in Ireland. It has this people's feeling about it which is great.
"There is a feeling around the whole week and it doesn't just involve what happens on the golf course.
"It is the whole ambience of the place day and night and it grows into a great event and always has done. Being on the west coast of Ireland it has even more that feeling.
"When we visit small towns, it has that big buzz about it and it becomes a bit different to a regular Tour stop."
Ryder Cup hero McGinley won the Irish PGA at Adare in 2004 and believes it will be a fantastic test after improvements added 300 yards to the Trent Jones Jnr track.
He said: "I regard Adare Manor as the best inland course in Ireland. It is a bold statement considering the wonderful courses we have in Ireland but in my mind it stands out above the rest.
"We can also expect a lot of support from the Irish spectators. They came out in droves for the JP McManus Pro-Am a couple of years ago and I expect they will be no different for the Irish Open."

JC Penney Embraces New Marketing Plans, Looks Ahead
JC Penney's net loss widened in the first quarter as the department-store chain works to rebound from former CEO Ron Johnson's failed makeover.
The loss expanded to $348 million in the quarter ended May 4 from a deficit of $163 million a year earlier. CEO Myron Ullman, who returned as CEO last month, has been increasing promotions to revive sales and raising cash by borrowing $850 million from the company's credit line while pursuing a $1.75 billion loan. First-quarter sales declined 16% to $2.64 billion.
"The loss was a little worse than I expected, but this story isn't about this quarter, it's about looking out," said Rick Snyder, an analyst for Maxim Group in New York. Mr. Ullman is "taking the right steps. He's trying to get the customer back, and the way to do that is discounting and couponing again," he said.
Marketing changes
Mr. Ullman faces plenty of challenges in winning back customers who were alienated after Mr. Johnson removed promotions and swapped in clothing aimed at younger women. The chain released commercials this month saying it learned from its mistakes and thanked customers for giving it another chance.
JC Penney is also returning to its promotional roots. For its Mother's Day event last week, it used the term "doorbusters" to advertise in-store savings of as much as 40%. That kind of discounting was exactly what Mr. Johnson tried to eliminate. Retailers traditionally use doorbusters during the Black Friday shopping weekend. Penney will spend on such marketing events about 20 times a year, Mr. Ullman said.
"We're taking steps to reconnect with our core customer through more effective marketing and messaging," Mr. Ullman said during a conference call with analysts. "The customers will begin to see important changes in the coming months that are aimed at meeting their needs. ... Our most recent marketing better reflects how we intend to reconnect with the customer and encourage her to reconsider JC Penney."
Laundry list
In his first public comments since returning to JC Penney, Mr. Ullman listed things he's changing. Primary among them is bringing back some of the retailer's private-label brands. As many as four brands will return for the fourth quarter. Already it has brought back St. John%u2019s Bay. The chain also will bring back more basic clothing and sizes.
Declines in purchases of private-label goods were largely responsible for sales cratering under Mr. Johnson, Mr. Ullman said. Revenue from cosmetics brand Sephora increased last year but total sales sank 25%.
Mr. Ullman didn't rule out continuing to add what Mr. Johnson called "shops" in the future, although no new ones will be introduced this year, he said. The chain is completing renovations to home sections in about 500 stores in what will likely be the last part of Mr. Johnson's vision to be implemented.
JC Penney also needs to revamp its website to make inventories consistent with what's in the stores. And customer service has to be improved. There's nothing structurally wrong with the company that won't allow it to win back customers and become profitable again, Mr. Ullman said.

A sympathetic hero can make all the difference in a book. For instance, my absolute least favorite trope in romance is The Big Secret. And that is the underlying thread in this book. However, I found I enjoyed the story anyway because it had a hero I could not help but to root for. So kudos to Amanda Forester for that.
Cormac is the son of the most fierce and vicious warlord in the Highlands. He wasn't raised by his father. He was actually brought up by monks. He loves to read. He wants to be a scribe. But his father has other ideas. Red Rex wants to toughen him up, to remake him in his image. And it doesn't matter that Cormac dreams of something different. It is conform or die.
Our heroine is Jyne. I have to say that the spelling of her name threw me and reading it constantly felt like I was seeing a typo, but I digress. Anyway, Jyne is the so-called runt of her family. Her brother is the laird of the Cambell clan. She grew up in a castle and because she was a sickly child, she has never had the opportunity to have an adventure. Until now.
Jyne is going to the keep that her brother has prepared as her dower land. On the way, she falls into a bog and needs rescuing. Cormac is the man on hand. She doesn't know it, but he is on the run from a monk who is chasing him for stealing scrolls from a monastery. He has to read in secret because his father basically thinks reading is for sissies. Anyway the whole theft of the scrolls causes major trouble for Cormac with his dad. It gets even worse when the pursuing the monk stumbles into the camp after him and Cormac has to make up a giant lie to save the monk's life and keep his father from burning down the monastery. He says the scrolls were not just for reading; they were actually treasure maps and he was trying to get the treasure for his father.
Of course, there is no treasure, but Cormac has to keep up with the lie in order to save everyone that he put in danger. The location of the imaginary treasure just happens to be Jyne's new keep. So they meet again. Actually they meet a couple of times. First she sees him in a helmet that covers his face as the warlord who is taking over her land. Then she sees him as Cormac, the friendly helpful man who is going to protect her from said warlord. Obviously, it gets a little complicated because Cormac is playing two parts in the story. And the whole time you are waiting for her to figure out his whopper of a lie.
The thing is, I wanted poor Cormac to get away with it all. He didn't have very many options and his heart was good, even if he made some ill advised choices. Jyne was a pretty standard virginal heroine. At least she wasn't stupid. She, at worst, may have been a bit naïve, but I liked her OK.
This is a gentle romance. It is essentially a few kisses and a little bit of sensual touching. In fact, it took a while to get past kisses on the cheek here. But it's sweet.
The book is not full of twists and turns necessarily, but I did find myself interested in seeing how Cormac was going to get out of the mess that he made. And he entertained me every time he took on the mantle of the fire lord.
There were some rather convenient developments, but overall I enjoyed the story fairly well. It moved quickly and it gave me an ending that satisfied.

When infographics are the main lenguage
Different kinds of caliber, Super Interessante
Now that everybody's saying that press media are in crisis, some think that infographics can be the saviour. Many are betting for graphics on these hard times , and infographics artists are the market stars.
How to choose your religion, Super Interessante
But in Brazil, two of the most succesful magazines of the country (Super Interessante and Mundo Estranho) have been offering product where graphics are the main lenguage since long time ago. Just a few pages of the magazine don't include graphics or illustration. Using every kind of visual lenaguage.
Mundo Estranho explaining inflation to preteenagers
Each one has it own target. While Mundo Estranho focus 12-13 years old readers, Super Interessante has a more adult profile. That's why they use differente lenguages, styles, metaphors. But the goal is the same: Explain.Manage to have teenagers and preteenagers interested on teh same topics taht their textbooks talk about, but with them eager to read them.
After the classical 'Metro do Rock', Super Interessante dares nown with the Science Metro
The head of infographics on both projects is a classical star, Luiz Iria. A man who surely would need a whole house to have enough space for all his awards.
Differences between brazilian and USA police, on Super Interessante
They're not uniques on the world. National Geographic Kids uses teh same scheme.
Meanwhile, in Spain, the bet on this kind of magazines are bizarre photoshoppy images. They want to call the attention, thay shout to the reader. Here, the iamge doesn't explain (usually). This is the real goal of graphics. Explain. Today, we have TV, radio or internet to know the news. Let's foceus newspapers on explaining them and be different and useful. And that's why graphics are becoming so popular. Althought there are still many places where they think on other way.

O'F Christian blew it open late in the 3rd quarter. After leading 49-45 midway in the quarter, the Eagles outscored the Dragons 17-3 to take a 66-48 lead into the 4th quarter. By midway in the 4th, the lead had been stretched to 74-54. The Dragons rallied (outscoring the Eagles 18-8) and worked hard to the final buzzer but fell short 85-76.
However, this night belonged to Josh Robinson. He broke two very significant scoring records at St. Marys. Robinson finished the game with 56 points. He was 18 of 28 from the field and 17 of 24 from the line. This shattered the single game record held by Don Johnson of 47 points against U City in 1967. That 1966-67 SM team went to Final Four and were eliminated by Beaumont, who was led by Jimmy Erving. Robinson also jumped into the top spot of SM Career Points. His 56 points gives him 1739 career points. He moves past Jon Connelly (08-12) who scored 1725 career points. The Dragons have three more regular season games and post season so Robinson will push this record far higher. In this game, Robinson also tied MOST FT converted/game and the MOST FG/game
On the other side of the court, the Eagles were led by their trio of double-figure average players. Evan Marcks had 25 (including 4 treys), Deantrell Prince demonstrated several very strong moves to the basket in the 2nd half and finished with 19 points, 9 rebonds and 9 assists and Jordan Norwine hit 5 of 6 from beyond the arc and finished with 17 points and 7 assists.
Other notable players for the Dragons were Jake DeWeese with 8 rebounds and 2 assists. James Wiggins ran the point guard efficiently as the turnovers stayed low. DeShawn Wilson grabbed 4 rebounds and two steals during the contest. Click here to view the replay of the game

'It's training for life, as well as for events'. This is the premise behind the new school of thought within Personal Training, Functional Fitness, and the approaches and techniques that are demonstrated by our qualified and reputable fitness team. Training for functional fitness means that your motivation for working out is to prepare your body to perform daily activities such as walking, bending, lifting , and climbing stairs without pain, injury or discomfort. In many respects, functional training could be thought of training in terms of our natural movements. Simply by being humans, we find ourselves performing a wide range of movement activities, such as walking, jogging, running, sprinting, jumping, lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, turning, standing, starting, stopping, climbing and lunging.
In functional training, training a whole movement is as critical as training the muscles involved in that movement. As the brain controls muscular movement, it works in terms of holistic movements and motions, not in terms of the functions of the individual muscles.
Whether you are a confident athlete looking to break new barriers or just determined to get into shape, our experienced personal trainers will build a bespoke program for you, and work with you so that they can deliver real results.
Muscle hypertrophy is a term for the growth and increase of the size of muscle cells. The most common type of muscular hypertrophy occurs as a result of physical exercise such as weight lifting, and the term is often associated with weight training.
Our Functional Integrated Training for Hypertrophy consists of four elements:
Mechanical Load: Tension loading of muscles through exercise is a prerequisite for muscle hypertrophy.
Chronic Stimulation: These stimuli must be applied with sufficient frequency. Recovery can take place unabated even if the muscle is loaded again in 48 hours. Acute responses to training, such as increased rates of protein accretion, return to normal in about 36 hours.
Progressive Load: Over time, the tissue adapts and becomes resistant to the effects of mechanical load. To remain effective, the load must be steadily increased over time at a pace which exceeds the rate of adaptation.
Strategic Deconditioning: When the load has been increased at the appropriate pace for long enough, the weights either become intolerable, or the risk of injury becomes too great. Since the load can no longer be increased, to continue hypertrophy, the adaptation to the load must be reversed. To accomplish this, after the highest weights are used, training is halted for a period to allow the muscles to "Decondition" and allow hypertrophic response to training once again. This process happens after the end of a 6-8 week "cycle" and can last from 9–14 days preceding a new "cycle".
Corrective and
Functional Training
Corrective and
Functional Training
We give you the right exercises to help correct your problems and improve your overall function.
Corrective Exercise: Corrective exercises are a powerful tool to improve your function. Sometimes people have a hard time doing something relatively simple like squatting, bending or reach without pain. In many cases the body simply has a problem recruiting the right muscles in the right order to get the job done. When used appropriately, corrective exercises assist the body in re-establishing the normal recruiting pattern and provide immediate improvement.
Functional Exercise: Exercises that help you return to specifically what you do are referred to as functional. A functional exercise for a multidirectional athlete like a football player will be different from what is needed by a track athlete who needs straight line speed. At n4workout we set exercises specifically for you and your own function. Whether you be a golfer, a stay at home mum, construction worker, triathlete, whatever your function, we will create exercises specifically for you.
Strength and Conditioning
Strength and Conditioning
... Is not weight training, olympic lifting, kettlebell, sled pulling, hill sprinting, tyre flipping or suspension training sessions – or indeed any other mode of training you can think of. These are examples of tools. And it's also not CrossFit, they are workouts. Using strength and conditioning tools to create a 'beasting' session doesn't target specific physical qualities, or provide progression, individualisation or satisfy a long term plan. Often people mistakenly perform gym workouts, believing they're strength and conditioning training.
You should be able to answer exactly why you're using a particular exercise at a particular phase of your training, and this is what we can help you to do. If it has no purpose, elicits no developmental benefit for the individual , then it's wasting time and energy. Even worse, inappropriate exercise selection can hinder performance by interfering with a skilled pattern of movement.
Injury Pre Rehabilitation
Injury Pre Rehabilitation
Core Stability
Core Stability
Core Stability describes the ability to control the position and movement of the central portion of the body. Core stability training targets the muscles deep within the abdomen which connect to the spine, pelvis and shoulders, which assist in the maintainance of good posture and provide the foundation for all arm and leg movements.
What are the benefits of core stability training?
Quite simply, good core stability can help maximise performance and prevent injury. Power is derived from the trunk region of the body and a properly conditioned core helps to control that power, allowing for smoother, more efficient and better co-ordinated movement in the limbs. Moreover, well-conditioned core muscles help to reduce the risk of injury resulting from bad posture. The ability to maintain good posture while training helps to protect the spine and skeletal structure from extreme ranges of movement and from the excessive or abnormal forces acting on the body.
Eating is a primitive urge, like sleeping or going to the bathroom. When food sources are abundant, we are hard-wired to eat as much as our body needs to function, survive, and reproduce, but also — more critically — to store against the possibility of famine. Eating is also a source of comfort and pleasure. This too is hard-wired. When we sit and eat, our bodies get the message that, for the moment, it is okay to relax. We are nurturing ourselves. No hard labour or strenuous physical activity can occur at that moment. This is a powerful motivation.
What has caught us unawares is the degradation and manipulation of our food supply combined with a major decrease in our physical activity. Over-processed food, refined sugar products, preservatives, trans fats, artificial sweeteners, and food substitutes now populate the bulk of our grocery aisles. Our food is transported thousands of miles and must keep for weeks, losing much of its nutritional value in transit. Today, we drive instead of walk, use machines more often than our muscles, and eat out or are on the run more frequently. In addition, we have multi-million dollar industries bent on coercing us to buy and eat a seemingly endless supply of unhealthy food.
Instead of berating ourselves for "cheating" when we eat a food that is not in our best interests, we need to think about the totality of our lifestyle choices with our individual histories and needs (both physical and emotional) in mind.
Let's face it – Food is good! Eating is fun! It's no wonder we find it agonizing to deprive ourselves of this most basic and nurturing act. Instead of all the negativity, I'd like to encourage everyone to rediscover the positive nature of sharing food around the table. It all begins with that magic word- balance.
The best way to jumpstart your metabolic function is to eat well (which includes taking a daily multivitamin), and to eat regularly and often – we just ask that you watch your portion size. And you have a great portion control tool right at hand — your own hand!
Posture and Flexibility
Posture and Flexibility
Flexibility is needed to perform everyday activities with relative ease. To get out of bed, lift children, or sweep the floor, we need flexibility. Flexibility tends to deteriorate with age, often due to a sedentary lifestyle. Without adequate flexibility, daily activities become more difficult to perform. Over time, we create body movements and posture habits that can lead to reduced mobility of joints and compromised body positions. Staying active and stretching regularly help prevent this loss of mobility, which ensures independence as we age. Being flexible significantly reduces the chance of experiencing occasional and chronic back pain.
It is important to include flexibility training as part of your regular fitness routines. Improved flexibility may enhance performance in aerobic training and muscular conditioning as well as in sport. There is scientific evidence that the incidence of injury decreases when people include flexibility training in their routines due to the enhanced ability to move unimpeded through a wider range of movement. The only exception to this would be when there is an excessive or unstable range of movement, which may increase the likelihood of injury. When used appropriately, flexibility training allows your to become more in tune with your body. It is a form of active relaxation that can improve both mental and physical recovery.
Body Composition
Body Composition
Your body is composed of two types of mass: body fat and fat-free mass.
Body Composition refers to the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body. A healthy body composition is one that includes a lower proportion of body fat and a higher proportion of fat-free mass. Body composition is one measurement that is used to assess your health and fitness level.

Striking the right balance between formal and casual isn't easy. A shoe, for example, can feel a little too over the top, while a trainer often shows a lack of effort.
Fortunately, Puma has cut a suitably charming swathe between the two with its Bonanza range of footwear, which would look at home in the office, the bar or around the home.
The shoes are rugged, tough and ready for anything, given their thick, rope-inspired lacing and antique metal hardware, set off by a textured rubber outsole. The Ranger LX Hi and Digger LX Lo are a dynamic duo, high-rolling with new materials and detailing.
The Ranger is high-collared and decked-out in leather, while the mid-cut Digger boasts a suede upper. Both versions feature a stamped 'Bonanza' on their distressed tongues. The original shoe was first introduced in 1978 and designed for jet-setting athletes.
Not for performing athletics, but rather for wearing during long-haul flights between races. That seems a slight waste to us, so please make sure you show them off a little better than that.

The Saints' attempt to dig out from under their 0-4 start to return to the playoff picture got a huge boost from Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.
Tight end Jimmy Graham played a big role in that winning effort. He caught seven passes for a career-high 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Saints handed the Falcons their first loss of the season. As a result of that performance, the NFL announced today that Graham is the NFC offensive player of the week.
Graham wasn't the only tight end to have a good day in New Orleans. Tony Gonzalez had 11 catches and two touchdowns, good enough to earn him (and Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan) consideration for weekly honors despite the loss.
It was the first time this season that Graham topped 100 receiving yards in a game, although he has been on a pretty good roll since returning from an ankle injury three weeks ago. Graham has 20 catches for 281 yards and four touchdowns in the last three games, two of which have been Saints wins. The Saints will need him to keep producing at that level to keep their chances of moving on to the postseason alive. Based on recent results, Graham should be able to do that if he remains healthy.
