Winter Seasonal Price Slash – Ride for shorter commutes at HK$2.5 / 15 minutes
Gobee lovers, we got good news for you! Being a customer-centric bike sharing operator, we've taken into account your feedback and assessed our data.
Many of you have expressed the desire for us to reduce the 30 minute time interval for renting to cater for those of you who only use our bikes for short commutes. We have taken that into account and after much discussion, we have now slashed our rates and rental time by half so that you can enjoy Gobee for HK$2.5/15 minutes. But be quick as this offer is seasonal over the winter season and will last up to the Lunar New Year.
Happy riding this festive season!
Lots of love,
The Gobee Team

As a loyal patron of Gobee.bike, we owe it to you to provide you with an explanation of how this interruption of services happened.
What happened?
As of 2 November, we've experienced some server downtime that sadly interrupted our bike operations.

What happens next?
We have been working tirelessly and exploring all angles to resolve this situation which includes upgrading our locks so that you can ride our bikes again. This maintenance may take a little time so please bear with us. We have also been speaking with all the major Hong Kong telecom companies.
We will let you know in due course as soon as our operations are back to normal.

Gobee Launches in Turin, Italy – Another Milestone
Today marks another important milestone for us as we make our first debut in Turin, Italy.
Known for its refined architecture and cuisine, Turin must be one of Italy's most unsung cities. While most travelers to Italy head to the triptych Rome-Florence-Venice, Turin appears to remain off the tourists' radar. Not off our radar, however.
Rome may have its association with Antiquity and Florence with the Renaissance, but Turin is Italy's regal city per excellence. As the capital of the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, sports cars and chocolate are a matter of pride. Come to Turin and expect to be greeted by large, majestic boulevards, arcaded shopping streets and countless historic cafes. Coming to think about it, there is probably no other city in the world with as many historic cafés still in operation, where you can soak up the revolutionary and literary atmosphere of the 19th century. Nietzsche, Puccini, Cavour and Cesare Pavese were all habitués of these famous coffee houses.
Launching in Turin marks the fourth country our green bikes have proudly set their tyres upon. From our inaugural debut in Hong Kong, our hometown, our humble fleet have boldly ventured overseas to serve the communities in France, Belgium and most recently, Italy. Depicted below, is a summary of our key milestones achieved since our birth in April.
As you can see, our growth trajectory thus far has been marked by a momentum of milestones. While the journey has certainly been exciting, is not without its challenges. Perhaps the most salient reward of all though, is the sheer number of compliments we received amongst our users from different cities of how much they love our bike-share system. What people are telling us is that this is different than other parts of the transportation network. The way they see bike-share as being flexible, as being individual, as being immediate, as being place-to-place rather than station-to-station—that fits in with the way they think about their life right now.
Which brings me to draw one final conclusion: Time has come to adopt a new paradigm for sustainable urban transport. And that time is now. By continuing to improve our operations to make the customer experience as seamless as possible, we hope to penetrate more markets globally in hopes of introducing a convenient eco-friendly mode of intra-city transport for citizens of the world.
Gobee and the Pink Revolution
Ride Gobee on 27 October and Raise awareness for Breast Cancer
October is Pink Revolution Month
Next friday 27 October is Dress Pink Day and The Gobee Team are expressing their care by donating ALL proceeds from rides earned that day to the Hong Kong Cancer Fund ('HKCF'). Such funds will go towards supporting free breast cancer care services that help patients and families live with, through, and beyond breast cancer.
Moreover, whoever rides our "Pinkie" (for those who are unaware, we have a pink Gobee.bike out there) on that day will earn 100HKD of free bonus riding credits.
Hong Kong Cancer Fund is Hong Kong's largest cancer support organisation, providing free information and professional support to anyone living with or affected by cancer. While our goal at Gobee is to make life better for people by introducing a smarter and more efficient way for them to traverse short distances, HKCF's goal is to make life better for people touched by cancer.
In light of the growing incidences of breast cancer, Gobee has decided to tie up with HKCF's Pink Revolution, an annual breast cancer awareness and fundraising campaign. The Pink Revolution campaign aims to promote the importance of early detection and raise funds for free breast cancer support services. On Dress Pink Day, people across Hong Kong wear pink to raise awareness and funds to support women with breast cancer. Pink is the colour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign that takes place every October to raise awareness of breast cancer.
Some Local Statistics on Breast Cancer
- Since 1993, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in Hong Kong.
- Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths for women in Hong Kong.
- Female breast cancer cases diagnosed in Hong Kong has tripled from 1,152 in 1993 to 3,868 in 2014. On average, about 10 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.
- The median age of breast cancer patients was 55 in Hong Kong, compared with the age of 61 in the US, 62 in Australia and 50 in Singapore.
- Lifetime breast cancer risk for females is 1 in every 16. In 2014, 57% of the women diagnosed with breast cancer were aged 40-59. The older the age, the greater the risk.
- Young people are not immune from the disease. The youngest case reported was below 20 years old.
What can you do to show that you care too?
- Simply pick up a Gobee bike that day and ride knowing that you are indirectly contributing to support free breast cancer cancer services. Hashtag #gobeepink.
- Hunt down our Pinkie to ride on 27 October and earn a bonus of 100HKD free riding credits from us (i.e. total of 10 hours).
- Dress pink for the month of October and send your photo/video to HKCF so they can put it up on their platform and raise awareness of breast cancer.
- Donate HK$120 or more to support a Pink Recover Pack which will go to the bedside of a breast cancer patient who has undergone surgery.

Gobee to become the first dockless bike sharing operator in France
After much groundwork from the Gobee Team, we are proud to announce – if you have not read about it already – our inaugural debut in France last Friday, 6 October 2017. Our landing in France marks a tremendous milestone for us – and for bike sharing history – as we officially became the first dockless bikesharing operator in France.
Our soft launch in Lille last Friday was a success. Characterised by a young, vibrant and dynamic community, the city of Lille greeted our green bikes with much enthusiasm and warm receptivity. Needless say, we brought smiles to many passerbys and made headlines in the press.
Ensuing Lille, we made even more international headlines with our official debut in Paris, our headquarter for Europe. The City of Lights greeted our eco-friendly fleet with boundless joy and enthusiasm. Amidst the excitement of being the first dockless bikeshare operator in town, adoption was rapid, with Parisians signing up and registering for a Gobee account the very same day.
Despite the hype for our green fleet, we continue to remind ourselves to remain humble and focused on our overriding mission to transform the way urban dwellers travel.
With our first European launch, we hope to redefine urban mobility by making our bikes the predominant mode of transport for short commutes. At the same time, we hope to instill a greater conscience for sustainability and clean living amongst city dwellers.
Together, we can make for a better city, one ride at a time.

Win a trip for 2 to Phuket with the #gobeedate photocontest
Attention gobee lovers, the first #gobeedate photocontest is here.
Grab your other half, strike a pose with a gobee bike, and capture that 'Kodak' moment for your chance to be whisked away on a romantic gateaway with your other half to Phuket – courtesy of reward-U, the loyalty program of HK Express.
Sounds convincing, eh? So what's the deal?
The terms are simple. All that is required is for you to find a significant other – or a willing protagonist in crime (hello, Tinder) – and locate a gobee.bike or two (or a mob if you will). Then stage the best set up you can possibly imagine and snap away!
For us to review your photo(s) and assess the winning piece, you will need to:
1. Like our facebook page.
2. Stage and shoot your best picture with your other half and at least one gobee bike.* Feel free to dress up and get as creative as you like.
3. Tag and share the picture on both your facebook walls.
4. Hashtag #gobeedate and #rewardU.
We will judge internally based on creativity and originality. The competition will run from 1-30 September so feel free to submit as many photos as your heart desires.
The winner will be announced in the first week of October and will hear from us. He/she will then receive a prize notification letter from reward-U with instructions as to how to redeem the flights.
Tips to increase the odds of flying:
* Your imagination knows no boundaries. So feel free to dress up, get some props, bring in the animals, or pool together a mob of gobee.bikes to stage the most creative and original photo you can fathom.
* Feel free to submit as many pictures as you like. Just remember to hashtag, tag and share them all.
* It is advisable to post and hashtag on both facebook and instagram as we will troll through both of these platforms to select the winning masterpiece.
*Important Terms & Conditions:
* Our bike(s) have to be clearly visible in order to fulfil our eligibility criteria. That is, it is not a "spot the gobee.bike in the photo" type of contest. Repeat – this is not a "where's wally?" exercise. If our green bike(s) is not visible to the naked eye at first glance, it will be ruled out of the admission criteria. Sorry!
* We are covering the cost of the flights only for 2 persons up to the value of 270,000 reward-U points (enough to redeem a round trip to Phuket). Any accommodation and miscellaneous expenses are to be borne by the winning couple.
* For the winner to redeem the flights, he/she will need to sign up for a rewardU account (at no cost). Note that the winner will have the discretion to not fly to Phuket as he/she will be rewarded with 270,000 points to redeem any flights to any destination (extra cost differential to be borne on the incumbent) before 31 Dec 2017.
* By entering the #gobeedate photocontest and hashtagging, you have implicitly granted gobee.bike the right to feature your photo(s) across our social media channels without needing your explicit prior consent.
* In any cases of dispute, the rights of final decision belong to gobee.bike and rewardU.
We decided to rebrand. Here's why.
"Follow the bee to discover your new destination…"
Gobee.bike started as a simple idea: to create a service that could help facilitate short commutes for the local Hong Kong community, improve urban mobility, and in doing so, reduce congestion and pollution.
When we first developed our identity in March, when we initially conceived of this concept of bike-sharing for Hong Kong, we thought the bee would best symbolise what our services stand to represent: community, freedom and interconnectivity.
Why? First and foremost, the bee symbolises community, brightness and personal power. Follow the bee to discover your new destination. On a similar vein, anyone can, at anytime, ride our bikes to any new destination of their choosing without having to return them to where they initially found them. In essence, our bikes empower individuals with newfound freedom – the freedom to explore new areas previously unknown to them, the freedom to discover oneself (with a new hobby), and the freedom to ride to work as an alternative means of transport.
Moreover, bees are also one of the most productive species in the animal kingdom. They stay focused on whatever they are doing and do not get sidetracked from their goal. This reflects the hard working spirit and laser focus of our team who have been working arduously, day in and night, to fuel and further the growth of the company since our inception.
A little piece of trivia: did you know that the bees' legs are one of their most sensitive organs? They actually use them to taste. Through the usage of the bee as our corporate imagery, we hope to remind people in Hong Kong – who perpetually live busy lives – to slow down, to smell the flowers and taste the sweet nectar of life.
Last but not least, the bee is a highly important pollinator of many plants; they hold the power of service. When landing upon a flower to collect its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg. This is then passed on to other flowers, creating a fertilisation process. Their movement from one plant to plant represents the interconnectedness of all living things. The bumblebee is a messenger bringing the secrets of life and service. Through our bike-sharing operations, we too hope to service the community at large and bring people together through a shared love of riding and a shared passion to reduce carbon emissions and promote a greener and cleaner environment.
Which now brings us to the choice of our new logo…
As you can see, the bee has now been simplified and stands in a more abstract form to its predecessor. If one were to look more closely, you would also be able to visualise the word 'go'. We believe this imagery bears more resonance to our new corporate identity of a brand that stands to represent freedom, innovation, trendiness and authenticity.
As we set to scale internationally in our journey, we hope to carry forward both the friendly and industrious spirit of the bee as we continue to service a broader, and more global community. At the same time, we strive to introduce a sense of newfound freedom, liberation, and a shared sense of interconnectivity amongst all gobee riders.
The GoBee Ride. Two Wheels, One Community – Tour of Kam Tin
Hello Fellow GoBee Fans!
What if you could connect with other people near you who just want to go out for a ride every now and then?
That would be a social cyclists dream come true.
For those of you who were aware, we originally planned for our first GoBee Community Ride on 24th June with Velo 6, a cycling cafe in Central. Due to adverse conditions, however – and much to our chagrin – we had to unceremoniously cancel the event.
That said, don't despair. Contributing back to the community in the form of lowering carbon emissions, reducing congestion and making short commutes much more efficient for Hong Kong people is at the core of why we exist. It is what propels us to work so hard everyday, giving us purpose and meaning to achieve something bigger than ourselves.
As an extension of our endeavours to better serve the community at large, orchestrating social rides to connect like-minded individuals together is another major initiative underpinning our overriding mission.
To better run our social rides (what we have now dubbed "GoBee Rides"), we have partnered with EcoGreen Hong Kong. Led by a group of professional Eco and Geo guides, many of their guides have accumulated more than 10 years of experience and are the Recommended Geopark Guide (R2G) by the Hong Kong Geopark.
So what can one expect from these social riding tours? Apart from sight-seeing and meeting (and making) new friends amongst the group, the Eco guides will share some in-depth insights with riders on ecological and geological theory and environmental sustainability.
For those who are interested, our next social ride is scheduled for 29th July, Saturday. We will meet at 10am outside Yuen Long MTR Exit J with a batch of shiny new aluminium GoBee bikes awaiting us. The journey will roughly take 2 hours and we will say our farewells to each other at Kam Sheung Road MTR.
Spaces are limited to 20 pax and is filling up fast. To sign up for our next GoBee Ride, please email email@example.com with "GOBEE RIDE – KAM TIN" as the subject. First come, first serve basis. As we care about your safety, we have arranged for brand new helmets to be provided by Nutcase. Please bring your own water bottles (our bikes are equipped with baskets).
*Note: a nominal fee of 20HKD per person will go to the guide. Standard GoBee bike rental fees apply (i.e. 5HKD for 30 minutes).
Two wheels, one community. That is what our GoBee Rides strive to achieve. Are you ready to ride with us?

Gobee.bike Officially Debuts in Hong Kong on 19 April 2017
Greeted by sunny weather and crisp blue skies, the Gobee.bike team debuted a sample of it's first fleet of bright green bikes in Sha Tin on 19 April 2017. Our team and our freshly minted bikes were warmly welcomed by attendees ranging from friends, investors, press and local Hong Kong citizens.
Raphael Cohen, CEO and co-founder of Gobee.bike, introduced our smart bikes to the crowd. In just two taps, riders can conveniently unlock the bike by scanning the QR code with their smartphone – "just like magic". Since the bikes are station-less, users can simply park the bike after their ride at any legal parking area and lock up.
For those who missed out on the launch event, below is a short clip that captures the essence of the day.
And a gallery of pictures…
On behalf of the Gobee.team, we would like to thank you to all those who came to support us. Your moral support and kind words of encouragement definitely means a lot to us!

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has received an invitation to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to attend the inauguration of Indian Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi and will decide on Thursday whether to accept, the foreign office said.
India invited Sharif and other South Asian leaders to attend Modi's swearing-in on Monday. If he does attend, it would be a first in the history of the nuclear-armed rivals who have fought three wars since independence in 1947.
"The invitation was received yesterday," Pakistani foreign office spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam told reporters. "A decision whether the prime minister would attend or not will be taken some time today."
After his own election last year, Sharif's administration had also suggested that the Indian prime minister be invited to attend the ceremony, but Modi's predecessor, Manmohan Singh, declined.
Sharif came to power promising to rebuild relations with India but he has been under pressure to toughen his stance from hardliners at home, particularly within the army.
Modi's party has long advocated a tough stance on Pakistan, a view reflected in his vigorous election campaign, and the new Indian leader is seen as an uncompromising hardliner on issues of national security.
But Aslam said Pakistan saw this as a chance to improve relations.
"We hope the dialogue process between India and Pakistan will resume," she said. "It would be a meaningful dialogue, it would be constructive talks, and it would be dialogue with a view to resolving outstanding disputes between our two counties so that this region could have durable peace."

Midnight (0000 in Military time) to 4 watch. The first watch of the day's rotation. NOT unique to any maritime academy. In fact, it is a pretty common term in most branches of the military. I've also heard it called the Balls to Forever watch.
I'm going to go hit the rack early. I've got to get up for the Balls to 4 watch.
by CDubb October 07, 2013
Contrary to the previous definition, this is and has been widely used throughout the United States military to describe the 0000-0400 watch and is. It unique to any maritime academies. It is a widely used term.
by Nuclearninja October 07, 2013
A term unique to the cadets at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 'Balls to 4', is the watch from 0000-0400. Not actually obscene, the 0000's look like little balls.
James: The new watch bill has been posted, did you see it?
Mike: Nope.
James: Thats too bad, you have the balls to 4.
Mike: %&^$@!
Mike: Nope.
James: Thats too bad, you have the balls to 4.

Best car that I ever had
The only problem I have had with this car is that the check engine light comes on because the rubber seal on the petrol lid is worn out.

Why did Webvan fail so spectacularly?
Webvan was established in 1997 to allow consumers to order groceries online and have them delivered to their home within a 30 minute window. It attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital and hundreds of millions more in a 1999 IPO because investors believed that the company could use online grocery sales as a spring board into other business lines. The high priced, well-decorated management team at Webvan wooed investors with promise of solving the "last mile" problem, how to bring goods directly into customers' homes profitably. Why this group of top-talent executives believed they could not only solve the near mythical problem that has long plagued retailers but also solve it on a scale large enough to service markets all over the county in two years is beyond me. Webvan might have been successful if it had attempted to service one market efficiently and then expand into a new market using the knowledge gained by efficiently serving the first. Instead, Webvan built a complex distribution center that management believed was capable of being replicated quickly in many new markets. Besides investing hundreds of millions of dollars to support a market that did not yet exist, three fatal errors doomed the company's model.
Allocating resources:
Webvan created its distribution center around a maze of conveyor belts, scanners, and picking stations. Each new distribution center costs $35 million just to build. Stocking the center and marketing the company's service in a new market, and staffing added to that total. A significant part of that cost was tied to the elaborate carrousels that Webvan kept its products in. The carrousels rotated products around the employees so that they could remain stationary and fill orders faster. However, this technology only helped fill about 35% of Webvan's orders because it could not store produce of frozen goods, the remaining 65% of ordered still required employees to manually select products. The investment in the carrousels and the technology to make them work failed to create as much of a cost savings as management had envisioned.
The Market:
Another obstacle was delivery density. Webvan needed 10-12% of total households to be repeat customers for its model to be profitable. In 1999, that might have been a half to two-thirds of the tech-savvy households in the region. If all of those households were clustered together in one or two neighborhoods, Webvan could have serviced them with a significantly less capital intensive model. Perhaps a smaller, more centrally located (with respect to customers) distribution center with only a small fleet of vans. Unfortunately for Webvan, in 1999 the tech-savvy households that they needed to count as repeat customers were scattered all over major urban/ suburban areas and required a massive operation to provide the level of service that Webvan claimed to be provide.
Too Smart for Their Own Good:
Webvan assembled a who's who list of top talent executives. They created data and models that supported their own beliefs and when analysts and investors voiced concerns about Webvan's assumptions, management just shrugged it off. The Founder, Louis Borders proclaimed "Its $10 billion or zero" and CEO George Shaheen believed that Webvan would be more than groceries and that the market was $1.5 trillion (total projected online purchases for 2003 by IDC) not $6.5 billion projected for online grocery sales by Jupiter Communications for the same year. What is truly amazing is not so much the projectitis that this group contracted but that so many analysts and investors were sipping the Kool-Aid too. It's not uncommon for managers to get so far caught up in their own ideas that they fail recognize what's actually occurring in the market but this was star-studded management team who had been there, done that, and knew to question every assumption relentlessly to be sure that it was reasonable. Unfortunately, this management team believed that they were different. They had the best minds and the best technology available. They believed their solution was better than everyone else's who had tried and failed to solve the "last mile" problem before them. They casually shrugged off conflicting data and ignored analysts' concerns to their own detriment. In the end, I suppose that if you are going to fail, you might as well be the best at that too.

The Rex Center, named as a take off on the word "recreation," is a place for dogs to find the same serenity and fitness humans seek out at their health clubs.
Nowhere else in the Bay Area can dogs enjoy a swim in a warm therapeutic pool, followed by a massage. The Rex Center also focuses on socialization and dog training.
The Rex Center opened in May 2009 by Cathy Chen-Rennie, who is a co-owner with Susan Rennie.
Chen-Rennie created The Rex Center to bring the benefits of training and water work to dogs in need of safe, nurturing exercise options or just a little work on basic manners, according to The Rex Center website. She's a professional dog trainer, canine warm water swimming specialist and certified canine massage practitioner.
Rennie, a certified dog walker, applies her practical knowledge of dogs and dog behavior to ensure that each dog gets the full benefit of a warm-water swim session.
Other staff members include Ellen Davison, canine swim coach and pool manager, Joy Greer-Walker, office administration, receptionist and swim coach, Heather Sanders, canine massage and acupressurist, Ted Orosco, canine swim coach and Jane Henner, dog trainer and puppy socialista.
The Tribune sent The Rex Center a list of questions to answer by email. They were answered by Joy Greer-Walker.
Since the time you have been in business, what has changed about the business?
Not much has changed we still see a lot of older arthritic dogs or dogs with mobility or pain issues. But more people know about us and the idea of "teach your dog to swim" has gained a lot of popularity. so we are seeing more younger dogs.
What is your overriding business mission?
To provide a clean and safe environment for canine aquatic fitness. Think of us as a spa and health club for dogs.
How has this been received in the community?
It was a slow start… but it is gaining in popularity and we have had a lot of support form local veterinarians.
What services are offered and who benefits?
We offer 25 minute and 50 minute swims. Both sessions can be either assisted or open. The first swim is always an assisted swim so we can evaluate the pups water/pool abilities. Open swims are for dogs that are able and motivated to swim and stay in the pool without a coach with them. Owners cannot get in the pool. The swim sessions are private and only dogs and swim coaches can be in the pool.
Beyond warm water swimming, we have acupressure, massage and nutritional consultation. Jane Henner offer a variety of dog training classes including Monday night Puppy Socials for puppies 10 weeks to six months.
Throughout the year, The Rex Center offers different activities for pet owners and their pups. There are canine nutritionist workshops with Dr. Ilana Strubel, DVM, MA, CVSMT. In August, The Rex Center will be offering for the first time level one canine nose work with Dominika Knossalla and four times a year will offer pet first aid with Heather Hart.
Why do some dogs need these services?
Older and infirmed dog with mobility problems can move freely in the water. Dogs that need to lose weight can enjoy a low impart workout. And dogs can just have fun.
How much do the services cost?
Assisted swims are $50, open swim sessions are $35 and The Rex Center has a variety of membership packages.
What else do you want folks to know?
The Rex Center offer numerous ways for your pup to stay fit or get fit.
The Rex Center is located at 1040 Palmetto Ave. Current hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Interesting message with good Biblical reference and I liked your testimony too. Oh, my how missionaries sacrifice so much and give up so much comfort just to share the Good News.ReplyDelete
My Mimmie used to say that you cannot outgive God. It is so true. He is faithful to rebuke the devourer on our behalf if we give as He leads us to. It is always more blessed to give than to receive, even when it comes from great sacrifice. Thank you for another encouraging post, dear Hazel. I hope all is well with you and Robert.ReplyDelete
I'm with you, Hazel. The times of sacrifice bring more peace and joy to our soul than material things can ever muster. Proof of our Savior within us. I always appreciate your stories and the real life applications. Good stuff!ReplyDelete

Trailer for New Season of Jersey Shore, Now With More Violent Ronnie
And more sad Snooki.
Get More: Jersey Shore (Season 3), MTV Shows
Season four of the Jersey Shore , in which the cast descends on Florence, begins on August 4th. (Working subtitles for this season: Jersey Shore: The International Incident , Jersey Shore: A Room with a View of Guidos, Jersey Shore: How to Make Friends with Silvio Berlusconi but Alienate Other People.) Snippets from the new season have been appearing in dribs and drabs, but the longer trailer premiered last night and, you will be happy to hear, it's going to take more than a trans-Atlantic flight for these fools to behave themselves. Coming up this season: not one, but two cast members being carted away in stretchers! A potential Snooki and Situation hook up! Ronnie being even more ultra violent than usual! Ronnie and the Situation putting on a deadly serious WWF fight! Deena and Paulie swapping spit! Snooks coining a fitting new word for a bidet: A doucher! Lots of getting lost! Snooki making her bid to enter the runny mascara hall of fame while moaning, "I don't deserrrve this right now." She never does. Enjoy.

Miley Cyrus Sings About Molly, Bathroom Lines in 'We Can't Stop'
"It's our party we can do what we want."
With a little (okay, a ton) of help from new friend Mike WiLL Made It, Miley's newest is a party anthem that you are more likely to play over a slideshow of photos from last night's party as opposed to at the party itself. This party is slightly different than Miley's last party (the one "In the USA"), replete with bathroom lines, stripper moves, and molly. Could it be a Song of the Summer contender? Miley is already on our list of candidates (alongside Snoop Dogg/Lion), but this one might be a better fit for those chiller beachside barbecues. Hey, it's our party and we can cry pop Miley if we want to. "Forget the haters, 'cuz somebody loves ya."

Press Releases
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 12, 2012
CONTACT: Kathleen Fay, Executive Director
617-661-1812 | email@example.com
MEDIA ALERT: Boston Early Music Festival presents the acclaimed musicians of Tragicomedia in a program of Early Handel cantatas.
Tragicomedia (United States)
Stephen Stubbs, director, theorbo, & baroque guitar
Shannon Mercer, soprano
Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 8pm
Early Handel Cantatas
Barbara Strozzi: Donna non sa che dice
|Tickets are priced at $19, $38, $49, and $66 each and can be purchased at WWW.BEMF.ORG and 617-661-1812; a $5 discount for students, seniors, and groups is offered by calling 617-661-1812. Subscription discounts of 10% are available with the purchase of three or more programs.
BEMF Artistic Co-Director Stephen Stubbs leads an unparalleled ensemble of instrumentalists featuring his fellow Artistic Co-Director Paul O'Dette on lute, Erin Headley on viola da gamba, and Kristian Bezuidenhout on harpsichord. They will be joined by two exceptional singers, soprano Shannon Mercer and bass-baritone Douglas Williams, in an enchanting evening of early Handel cantatas.
While Handel's oratorios are very well known today, and his operas increasingly revived, the large body of cantatas composed during his time in Italy are rarely heard. "The Italian cantata of the 17th and 18th centuries is one of the largest buried treasures of European musical history," remarks Stephen Stubbs. The cantatas were written to be performed in the private homes of aristocratic patrons and to showcase the dazzling virtuosity of some of the finest singers in the world. The program will also feature masterpieces by Handel's contemporaries and influences from his productive time in Italy.
With its unique constellation of leading continuo and solo players, Tragicomedia has been an important influence in the field of early music since 1987, when Stephen Stubbs and Erin Headley co-founded the group. Their common interest was in rediscovering and realizing the musical riches of the basso continuo era. In 1600, Agostino Agazzari described the enormous palette of instrumental color—including lutes, chitarrones, harps, keyboards and lirones—necessary for the effective realization of an accompaniment. This—and "tragicomedia" as an important seventeenth-century genre and aesthetic principle representing dramatic contrast—was the inspiration for the group. In repertoire ranging from Monteverdi to Bach, Tragicomedia has explored every musical genre from lute song to fully-staged Baroque opera. Many of the group's recordings for EMI, Teldec, Virgin, Hyperion, and Harmonia Mundi USA have won prestigious prizes. Tragicomedia has been the continuo team for the Boston Early Music Festival since 1997 in productions of Cavalli, Rossi, Lully, Conradi, and Mattheson operas, and in for Vancouver Early Music's Monteverdi cycle.

Founded in 1981, the Boston Early Music Festival offers diverse programs and activities, including three Grammy-nominated opera recordings, an annual concert series that brings early music's brightest stars to the Boston and New York concert stages, and a biennial week-long Festival and Exhibition recognized as the "world's leading festival of early music" (The Times, London). The 17th Boston Early Music Festival is planned for June 9–16, 2013.
The 2011–2012 Boston Early Music Festival Concert Series is presented with support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, National Endowment for the Arts, ConstellationCenter, 99.5 All Classical, Harpsichord Clearing House, Zuckermann Harpsichords International, The Gregory E. Bulger Foundation, U. S. Trust/Bank of America Private Wealth Management, and GTC Law Group.

I'm looking forward to a quiet couple of days this weekend. Right now, John's still asleep (a result of him staying awake until the wee hours of morn), and I have the apartment to myself. You've Got Mail is playing in the background, and we have absolutely nothing planned for either day. This is much needed.
I took a break from sharing some Saturday Morning Coffee Reads for the month of December, since everything was so crazy. But there have been a couple really great posts that I cam across this week and wanted to share.
- One of the best blog posts I have read in a while was one the lovely and awesome Karen wrote earlier this week, reminding us that we are enough. It really touched me, and was exactly what I needed to hear. (I am constantly in awe of Karen. She is an amazing person and everyone ought to read her blog and follow her on Twitter.)
- Another important reminder for us, Christella had an unpleasant experience on New Years Eve and wrote about sexual harassment.
- I think every Canadian of my generation grew up watching The Littlest Hobo… but how many of you knew the story behind the theme song?
- Lastly, shameless self promo! I wrote a post about some really simple ways to improve your website's about page. While it was geared towards Real Estate brokerages, a lot of the points could be applied to any corporate or personal website.
Have you read any great posts this week that I should check out?

Monday December 19, 2011
In February of 2011, UMass announced 24 recruits. Four of the 24 Derek Beck, John McGrath, Jamal Wilson and Ryan Campbell, ultimately did not appear on the 2011 roster.
Five of the surviving rectuits were defensive players: Iric Harris DB, Randell Jette DB, Quayshun Smith DB, Greg Hilliard LB, and Kyle Morgan DL.
There were fourteen offensive players and a kicker.
Right now ESPN reports we have three commits all on offense.
ESPN lists the following totals for the MAC East
Ohio (11-4) commits: 11 players, one three star, 6 two star
Temple (10-4) commits: 30 players, 4 three star, 13 two stars, 2 one stars
Kent State (5-7) commits: 16 players, 4 three star, 7 two stars, 1 one star
Bowling Green (5-7) commits: 15 players, 6 three stars, 3 two stars, 1 one star
Miami of Ohio (4-8) commits: 16 players, 3 three stars, 9 two stars.
Buffalo (3-9) commits: 13 players, 2 three stars, 10 two stars, 1 one star
Akron (1-11 and currently no HC) commits: 6 players, 1 three star, 1 two star.
Coach Molnar has some work to do. Eventually, UMass is going to need some defensive players.

Players who can be admitted here, and have played at these schools, should be able to play here and do well. We have had lots of players from these schools who have done well come here - M Shipp, V Cruz (well he went to Bridgton in ME but)
Really like Coach Charlie and how this is all going.

So we have three recruits. Do we just punt this years recruiting at this point and focus on the next season. The worst thing we can do is sign bad kids then be stuck with them for 4 years. Selective recruiting this season.
- December 19, 2011 5:57 PM
Top Row is at it again, there is a reason why 21 and 22 year old men go to military academies...because they could not cut it coming out of hs. Please let the new coaching staff do their job, i bet it wont be long before you are spitting out more of your unwanted wisdom.
- December 19, 2011 7:47 PM
Schools aren't stuck with players for 4 years. Scholarships are one year at a time deals. Just pull them.

"So we have three recruits. Do we just punt this years recruiting at this point and focus on the next season?"
One of the posters on the hoops board mentioned that Morris had said at the final sports luncheon that he had something like 8 verbals - so if that's true and those players are still committed (and the new coach wants them), then we might be further along than we know.

Jamal Wilson and John McGrath are on the 2011 roster as I see it.
- December 20, 2011 8:07 AM
from the Top Roww to the TAP who thinks that 21-22 year old MEN who play at the Academies . . . . somehow could not cut it.
Hope Frank lets this post through but you are obviously lacking in the mental capacity department.
"Could not cut it" so these guys go off to a military academy with some of the nations best and easily the most challenging colleges in the country because they could not cut it?????
Your comments are sadly laughable. Your anonymous tag line is just another example of being a TAP (that is short for The Anonymous Poster the need to explain to you as a mental midget is unfortunate).
Maybe if you took even moments to check out these prep schools football programs you might have even a sliver of an understanding on what kind of student athletes play there.
Otherwise just post up where you sit and at least one of us from formerly up in the Top Roww would very willingly come by and "chat" with you on why it would be beneficial to have players like this play for our team. Just keep in mind oh inept keyboard warrior that one of us from the Top Roww has a son who graduated from West Point and is on his way to Afghanistan helping to protect your right to freedom of speech to continue to post such foolishness. Better yet just jump off the UMass band wagon now you mouthy coward. You want to critique one of us in the Top Roww that is fine - you want to slam those who go to the academies well. . . . .hope you can back it up

Let's all try to be civil. I believe most readers evaluate comments on their content not on the person making the comment.
I try to moderate as little as possible, but one reason I don't read message boards is flame wars. They have zero information content in my opinion.

Frank, I give you a lot of credit for keeping this blog going with all of the negativity. I think I would have been discouraged and just given up. People can't seem to just disagree, they have to attack the messenger. I would be the first to admit that I do not know all of the intracacies of the game of football, but I do like to read top rows comments. I think they are very insightful. If you don't agree, fine. But most of the comments seem like a bunch of old ladies whining. Some of the anonymous commentators are probably BC or UConn fans. Some are probably ex (fired) coaches or players with a gripe with coaches. I'm just a fan. Never played football, never knew anyone on the team. Not jumping on any bandwagon, or off. I have been to every home game except for maybe six since 1968. I have had season tickets since 1974. Been to most away games in New England. Looking forward to a new season and a new era in Umass football without the negativity. Stuck around in the losing seasons and I will be there when we win. Go Umass.

from the Top Roww
Sorry Frank for the blast levied at the TAP who is a MM
Will try and keep the posts going forward more appropriate.
Will say it again though - if you have a problem with one of us in the Top Roww - - - fine. Say whatever you like. Post anything at all.
Slapping those who go to the academies is way out of line. Of course if you want to be a TAP commenting like that is probably just another example of your being some weak keyboard "hero".
The TAP could always post a name - or better yet where they sit - and all sorts of constructive conversation could take place.
Nope that won't happen from a TAP or some blog troll.
As for you Gabes keep up on the training and here is to hoping you and all of your troopers are doing well.
Have a Nice Day ! ! !

Didn't jeremy miles go to the naval academy before playing safety here? He is with the Bengals now.
Seems like the kind of player we could use.

from the Top Roww
First to Frank and UMass 73 Thanks. To the other posters who use a name like Izy or others Thanks as well.
A lot of the time we try to keep it civil and supportive. Most of the TAP's are easy to ignore but when someone slaps those who go to acadamies (and would seem to indirectly at least) slap at those who defend our country well that is over the line and they need to be called out.
Hopefully that kind of post will be the last from one of the three of us who used to sit in the Top Roww. Have signed up for season tix again and -at least- the three of us will be going to the Michigan game as well. Once we have assigned seating we will gladly post it and look forward to talking with those who support the program.
Going to be away for a while to be with friends and family. Looking forward to one son coming back from A-Stan and wishing another son safe travels once he is there.
To all who support UMass football - Merry Chritmas and a Happy New Year. We agree we need to sign up some more DL's and Kickers and Punters. We think that Coach Charlie (that is what we have been calling him) seems like a good fit and we are excited to see the spring game and then seeing the team play at UConn.
For Christmas this year we are asking for a win against UConn. That would certainly warm our hearts and put visions of sugarplums in our heads.
Gabes keep on doing what you are doing and we all look forward to seeing you here asap. You and all of the troopers take care.
Have a Nice Day ! ! !

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Tuesday, September 27, 2016
1. Amgen's multiple myeloma treatment Kyprolis failed to best Takeda Pharmaceuticals' Velcade in a Phase-III trial. The trial failed to meet its primary endpoint in showing superiority in terms of progression-free survival for multiple myeloma patients.
2. Only one in 13 experimental diabetes drugs that entered clinical trials from 1995 to 2007 received FDA approval, a statistic that is lower than the one-in-eight approval rate for all investigational drugs, according to an analysis by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. The chances of approval for a diabetes drug in late-stage testing were higher than other drugs, though. Diabetes drugs in Phase-III trials had a 60% chance of approval, compared to 56% for all other drugs in late-stage studies. (Stat)
3. Some shareholders are reportedly upset with GlaxoSmithKline's decision to promote Emma Walmsley to CEO. Some investors wanted an "external appointment" and questioned whether Walmsley would follow a different strategy than Andrew Witty. (The Telegraph)
4. Bayer's dermatology business is reportedly drawing interesting from a range of drugmakers, including Lupin Pharmaceuticals and Mylan. The portfolio includes eczema treatment Desonate and rosacea medicine Finacea. (Bloomberg)
5. Kite Pharma released new data from its Phase-II trial of its CAR-T therapy, KTE-C19. The trial showed that 39% of the patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who participated in the trial had a complete response, meaning their cancer disappeared. (Xconomy)

Girls' Sleepy Time Pajama Pants is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 3 out of 5 by MoFashionista from Ponies better than boats The material felt softer on the pony pattern vs the boats-it's a slim fit with not much give in the waistline. Overall a comfy sleep pant.
Date published: 2016-08-26
Rated 1 out of 5 by MSMD from Poor quality Cute bottoms but the waist bandpants ruined after one wash. The waistband flipped and pants can no longer be used.
Date published: 2016-12-12
If only the waistband flipped why could you not open one end and straighten it out how did it ruin these bottoms? Don't understand? And the material is it winter or yr round?
The elastic in the waistband is tacked in the back but should be easily straightened out if it rolls. The fabric is our Green Cotton jersey knit and can be worn year round.

I see your kids sleepwear says flame resistant, is this added chemical flame retardant put on the garment? Thank you in advance for your reply!

The Resurgence of Pat Burrell
At the Baseball Analytics blog, I looked at the resurgence of former Phillie Pat Burrell. The results may surprise you.
It appears to be that, in 2009, he was simply unable to hit soft pitches. As a Phillie, he had always been known for his ability to turn on an inside fastball. On the other hand, he was known for a "butt jut" on inside breaking balls. When he read the spin of an inside breaking ball, his feet would remain planted, but he would arch his back so that he almost looked like a backwards C at home plate.
In 2010, he regained his ability — or timing, most likely — to hit the soft stuff.
Pretty heat maps follow.

What's your favorite fun fact about WU?
That we were one of the first colleges to have ever offered degrees to women. I'm very proud to work at a university with that kind of history.
What's your favorite annual event?
I don't know if this counts, but I love meeting the new freshmen on the Friday before classes start. Each of them is a potentially awesome new person that I could have in my life for at least the next 4yrs. My students make my job the joy that it is – they make me laugh every single day, they share their stories with me, and they challenge me. So, the new students to me are like new books I can't wait to read. Plus, I assume they are nervous and overwhelmed by this new, big step, so I love making them smile and (hopefully) breathe a little easier.
What's your most memorable WU moment?
When we became a university! I still have the t-shirt we got, and I remember gathering EVERYONE all around the front of Stover and taking the big, overhead picture. It was exciting to be a part of something so historical.
What makes WU a special place to work?
The love and respect we have for each other. Even when we don't agree with each other, we are loving and respectful. Other workplaces – even other universities – have politics and backstabbing and people who treat each other badly. I can't imagine how toxic that would be; WU has spoiled me. Here, we pray for each other and celebrate each other's accomplishments. I feel supported. I also love that a large part of my job performance assessment is based on how well I serve the students. That was something I wanted in a full-time job from the beginning. At bigger universities, professors are often more concerned with getting published, and undergrads get shoved off to the side. Our students are the most important people on this campus, so I appreciate being at a university that agrees with me on that.
What do you consider the most special or unique part of your job?
I get to tell people all about the stuff I'm interested in, and they have to listen! Also, I literally shape lives. I get to help young people find their way in life, discover their strengths, and realize their passions. I think people sometimes underestimate how unfinished young adults are – they're still so scared, insecure, and (sometimes) lost. I love being one of the people in their lives who calms them down, lifts them up, and helps them figure it all out.

Starz Puts an End to Camelot
The series won't get a second season.
Here's a tip for cable networks everywhere: If you're looking to launch an expensive period drama with fantasy elements, don't do it at the same time HBO is debuting Game of Thrones. That's the lesson Starz learned the hard way with Camelot, its retelling of Arthurian legends, which the network today declined to renew for a second season. Camelot opened with solid numbers but couldn't sustain buzz opposite its highly hyped HBO rival, and its high price tag made further episodes a tough bet. Still, we think the show's in-demand stars Eva Green and Jamie Campbell Bower will land on their feet just fine. [THR]

Here are the questions from Hilary Weisman Graham!
If you are a fan of a certain genre, do you ever get bored by the conventions of that genre, such as the inhumane society that always exists in Dystopian fiction, or the plots in Romance novels, where the girl always ends up getting the boy?
Cyn: For me, I don't usually get bored of the conventions of a genre I love. if I love a genre, it's probably because of those conventions. For example, I love romances, because I know the girl will get the boy. So for me, why one romance novel better than another definitely has to do with the "journey" of the book, how does the author play out these conventions. Clique and stereotypical ploys are usually used because we know and love them. It's definitely the setups and how the author uses these conventions that affects my feelings for the book.
What's more likely to get you hooked in a book–plot or character?
Cyn: I think I want to say characters, because if I love a character, I'll probably go through thick and thin with them, even if I hate the plot. If I'm annoyed with a characters, it makes it harder for me to enjoy the plot, even if it's a there's a great premises for the plot. Badly written characters can rarely bring justice the plot.
Does a book need to have a love story in it for you to like it?
Cyn: Definitely not! That being said however, I always love a cute love story (as long as it's not distracting from the main plot and causing a ruckus to the flow of the book) There's definitely a fine line of how to play out a love story in a not "romance" genre book.
Do you ever get "series fatigue," or do you prefer reading books that are part of a series because you get to spend more time with characters you love?
Kim: I don't think I ever get "series fatigue". My only issue is usually just the time between each release. I love that series give so much more space for growing and developing a character/ relationship. I don't start a book or series thinking, "ah, I'll be able to read them for so many books! Yay!" But I do enjoy the outcome if they're characters I love.
