Here at New Life Chiropractic & Wellness, we provide the very best in chiropractic care and are very concerned about you as an individual patient. Our chiropractic services are effective. Soon you can be leading a pain-free life, looking forward to a happier and healthier future.
We offer a wide range of adjusting techniques from upper cervical which is a very gentle technique where there is no noise heard to full spine adjusting including extremities to adjusting with a device called the activator. We adjust children from newborn to teenagers for symptoms such as ADD, earaches, asthma, allergies, autism, and adults for symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, carpal tunnel, low back pain, sciatica and knee pain.
The science of chiropractic care has advanced to the point where we are able to perform specific adjustments that provide the results you want. Minimal force is used to provide the maximum benefit. This is the way chiropractic should be. If you are disturbed by the popping sounds that occur during an adjustment, we can provide alternative techniques that are devised as a non-forceful adjustment without the popping sounds.
Because chiropractic is firmly based on natural and fundamental elements of good health, we can provide a nutritional program tailor-made for you. We are interested in you as a whole person, not just a spine or knee that needs adjusting. Dr. Tim Mertes can provide recommendations on specific nutritional supplements and suggest healthy food choices designed to bring you back to the pinnacle of health. You will find that talking to Dr. Tim, his approach is sensible, down-to-earth, and you'll be much more motivated to reach your health and fitness goals.
For each patient, we create an individualized set of exercises designed specifically to address your unique complaint. The exercises are designed to correct the problem you are experiencing, and to strengthen the muscles in the affected area. The beauty of our exercises is that you can do them in the privacy of your home. Soon you can feel the benefit of the corrections we have identified as necessary for you to become healthy and help your body stay in balance.

Worldwide, different markets flock to different flavors
Russians prefer their Lay's potato chips dusted in caviar and crab flavors. The Chinese like their Oreos stuffed with mango and orange cream.
Americans might get squeamish at the thought of their favorite snacks being tweaked. But what works in the U.S. doesn't always work everywhere.
In other words, Lee Linthicum, a market researcher, says: "It can't be some generic mix of spices that might fool an American."
Food-makers long have tinkered with their products to appeal to regional tastes, but getting the recipe just right is becoming more important than ever. That's partly because people in developing nations such as China and India are gaining more of an appetite for American-style "on-the-go" foods as they work longer hours and have less time to cook. But it's mostly because snack-makers increasingly are looking for growth in other parts of the world as sales slow at home.
Snacks in a different land
The challenge for snack-makers is that people in other countries have different tastes.
Consider the Oreo, which Kraft Food introduced in China in 1996. Sales of the vanilla-cream-filled chocolate cookie sandwich were respectable there, but the Chinese didn't completely take to it.
So Kraft decided to tweak the Oreo. But executives of the Northfield, Ill.-based company knew they had to proceed with caution.
"When you have a brand that's 100 years old, you don't mess with the recipe thoughtlessly," says Lorna Davis, head of the company's global biscuit and cookies business.
Kraft worked with a panel of consumer taste experts from around the world to identify the characteristics of the Oreo -- including color, crunchiness, bitterness, color -- that were likely to appeal to Chinese tastes.
Executives learned through research that the Chinese don't like their treats as big or as sweet as Americans do. So the company redesigned the classic recipe to create a cookie that was a tad smaller and a touch less sweet.
Hundreds of Chinese consumers tested the new Oreo. It was a hit.
After noticing sales of Oreos were lagging in China during the summer, Kraft added a green tea ice cream flavor. The cookie combined a popular local flavor with the cooling imagery of ice cream. The green tea version sold well, and a year later, Kraft rolled out Oreos in flavors that are popular in Asians desserts -- raspberry and blueberry, mango and orange.
The result? Over the past five years, Kraft said sales have grown an average of 60 percent a year, though it declined to give revenue amounts. The Oreo now is the top-selling cookie in China with a market share of 13 percent.
Kraft, which operates in more than 80 countries, is taking a similar approach with other snacks.
In Saudi Arabia, Kraft offers its Tang powder drink in a lemon-pepper flavor. In Mexico, it comes in tropical fruit flavors such as tamarind and mandarin, and a hibiscus version fashioned after the flower. Sales have nearly doubled to $1 billion worldwide since Kraft rolled out the localized versions in 2006.
Kraft's ability to adapt to local tastes is increasingly important as it looks for growth overseas. The rise in international revenue at Kraft was more than double the increase in North America last year.

Hayley Atwell is set to star in a new TV show based on Captain America.
The star, who played the superhero's love interest Peggy Carter in 2011 movie Captain America: The First Avenger, has been cast in a new series called Agent Carter, which is due to hit the small screen by the end of the year (14).
A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "This is a massive deal for both Hayley and Marvel comic fans. It's Marvel's major project of 2014, and it will be a big budget production. Hayley is absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity and is incredibly grateful to Marvel fans who have basically been campaigning for a spin-off show for the past six months.
"It means moving to L.A. for six months but her friends and family are all behind her, and this is a huge opportunity."
The show will reportedly document the events six months after the finale of Captain America: The First Avenger, while a follow-up to the first film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is due to hit cinemas in April (14).
Agent Carter will follow in the footsteps of another Marvel Comics spin-off show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which launched last year (13).

I am writing to thank you for all your hard work in tailoring my uniforms over what can only have been a trying couple of months leading up to the Commissioning.
I am very happy with the standard of my uniforms and I am also very grateful for the lengths that I know you personally went to in order to have my father's Mess Dress completed.
Both my brother and my sister attended the ball and to be able to wear that uniform meant a huge amount. Thank you once again and I look forward to using your services again in the near future.

By Stratos Doukakis – In 1880, during the war between Peru and Chile, the following events occurred in San Andres, a small village on the Pacific coast of Peru.
In a bloody incursion of the Chileans in the San Andres of Peru, the Chileans began the indiscriminate murder of the entire population of the town. Among the Peruvians were seven Greek merchant mariners. During their travels to the west coast of the Americas they had come to like Peru and decided to stay behind in San Andres leaving their ship. Some of them married local Peruvian women and started new families.
When the murderous incursion of the Chileans occurred, all the Greeks gathered in one house, presumably with their in-laws and friends, locked the doors, and in anguish waited out the invasion, not knowing what was in store for them. The Chilean soldiers completely wiped out the residents of San Andres, but did not go near the house with the Greek flag on it!
The descendants of those seven Greek sailors, now of the 6th, 7th and some of the 8th generation, numbering approximately 650, constitute the Greek Community (Colonia Griega) of San Andres Peru. There are approximately 1000 Greeks in Lima Peru. Most of them have never been to Greece. Every year they celebrate/commemorate the day when the lives of their ancestors were spared, but also they celebrate several other Greek days – March 25th, October 28th, Easter, etc.
Names like Komninos, Gikas, Papafavas, Falkonis, and Constantinou are the most common in San Andres. Some of them don't look Greek in appearance. The grandmother in the wheelchair in the video referenced below certainly does not have Greek looks. But when they hand her the Greek flag to hold prior to hoisting it on the flag pole, she clutches it with such emotion shouting "mi sangre, mi sangre" (my blood!, my blood!). Watch the video:

Many men struggle when it comes to determining whether their female friends are hoping for a romantic connection. Behavioral scientist Christie Hartman suggests this is because women tend to drop more confusing hints than men do when signaling attraction. The only way to know for sure if your female friend has developed stronger feelings for you is to ask her. Until you work up the courage for that, there are several strategies you can use to gauge her interest.
Watch Her Body Language
Even when she's not talking, body language can reveal plenty about a female's attraction to you. If your female friend is interested in you, she may toss her hair or caress her own arm or neck, says Hartman. She might also attempt to make casual physical contact with you. For example, she might nudge you after a joke or tug on your arm playfully to lead you in a certain direction.
Follow Her Line of Sight
A female friend who is interested in you will give you her full attention, suggests David Givens, director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies. In a crowded room, keep track of where her focus falls. Assess whether her eyes wander around the room, or whether they stay focused on you, despite all the potential distractions in the area. If she seems to be looking everywhere except at you, she might only be interested in friendship, but if she gazes into your eyes for long periods of time, she is probably attracted to you.
Listen to Her Words
An interested female friend will have plenty of questions for you, suggests licensed clinical psychologist Sandor Gardos in the Men's Health article "6 Signs She's Interested in You." For example, she might ask you about your dating life or hobbies. Of course, it's possible she's simply curious about you without having romantic intentions. Try throwing a random subject into the conversation, suggests Gardos. Ask her about favorite animal or her parents' career paths. If she guides the focus of this random subject back to something about you, this could be a strong sign of interest.
Listen for Laughter
When a woman likes you, she will laugh more openly than usual, says associate professor of psychology Norman Li in an article for Psychology Today. Assess how much she laughs at the jokes other people throw out, and then compare that to her reactions to your jokes. In this way, humor can serve as a interest indicator. If she gives a hearty laugh at even your lamest jokes, she might be interested in more than friendship.

"They want me to share my experience as a graduate student who was once on the fence regarding continuing my education," says Ramos. The panel discussion will also address many of the tasks required to attend graduate school, such as: taking the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), letters of recommendation, and funding.
"I am excited to be invited back to Field of Dreams. I attended last year as an undergrad and this conference is what pushed me to pursue graduate school. Being invited back is an honor! I hope I can give back and help undergraduate students see that they can do it too," Ramos adds.

Marvel sure knows how to get everyone talking! This cover for the Free Comic Book Day issue of The All-New, All-Different Avengers is our first glimpse at the post Secret Wars Avengers line up. So far we have the soon to be unmasked new Thor (YAY!) and my favourite new hero of the past few years, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Double YAY!!) confirmed for the team. Then in an interesting move all the male characters are silhouetted to provoke speculation, finger pointing and mass hysteria amongst comic book fans.
So here is my take on who the remaining team members are.

There have already been close to 200 cases of the Zika virus reported in Singapore, just weeks before the Singapore Grand Prix, and Formula 1 teams are becoming disconcerted. In response, reports say that clubs are holding special meetings with their team members to discuss details about the event and the Zika virus.

Teams have already taken precautionary measures, instructing members of their clubs to cover up despite the hot weather in Singapore. Mercedes F1 has reportedly distributed long-sleeve tops to their staff to reduce the risk of bites.
Some teams will be allowing their women staff to remain in the UK, should they choose to, in light of the situation. McLaren Racing Director Eric Boullier has also assured that they have been making additional efforts to ensure the safety and health of their drivers.
"We are supplying anti-mosquito products and long-sleeved outfits and we have sent yesterday a brief to everybody about how to take care and all the why, what and how about it," Boullier told Reuters.
One of the members of Mercedes F1 team, driver Nico Rosberg, has already been casting some doubt and raising his own concerns about the current situation in Singapore. As a father, he has already spoken to his doctors regarding the risks of participating in the Singapore Grand Prix.
"As a family man now, yes, I will be very interested and look into it when the time comes. I have started discussions about it already," Rosberg said to Reuters.

Despite these concerns, the organizers are still confident that the event will push through as scheduled, assuring the safety for both teams and spectators.
"The comfort and safety of all our visitors, participants and staff within the Marina Bay Street Circuit is always our number one priority," the organizers assured during an interview with Channel News Asia. "We will continue to work with all relevant Government agencies and implement any recommended precautionary measures as directed or deemed necessary."
Should there be no further problems (and cases) regarding the Zika virus, the Singapore Grand Prix will take place from September 16 to 18.

What's a Fellowship?
If you are ready to take on the responsibility of your own pursuit of knowledge, pursuit of truth, and pursuit of adventure then there is a resource you can tap into that will help make your dreams a reality: a nationally competitive fellowship.
Nationally competitive fellowships, scholarships and grants will enrich your education and give you an opportunity to push your intellectual limits. Fellowships may provide funding for the last years of undergraduate education, for graduate education both in the US and abroad, or even for travel and independent research not tied to an academic institution.
A fellowship represents the educational opportunity of a lifetime. You, the student, are given the chance to take all the skill, wisdom, and intelligence you have acquired during your time on campus to pursue a project or an adventure that has always been of interest to you, but never feasible for you.
Sound like something you're interested in? The pages on the website describe fellowships that you might consider, describe the application process involved, and give advice to applicants. Listed below are the nationally competitive fellowships, scholarships and grants offered at UVM that require a university endorsement. Read a list of some of the nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships that students have applied for in previous years.

About Glenbeigh
Three quarters of the way round the Ring of Kerry, lies the quaint little hamlet of Glenbeigh! Made up of the Tower Hotel - the village's cornerstone pub and as many houses as you could probably count on the fingers of your hand, Glenbeigh is a respite from the otherwise tourist infested towns on the Ring of Kerry! It has a blue flag beach of it's own known as the Rosbeigh Strand, which is one of the most unusual beaches in all of Ireland, with a tendril (I shan't tell you why, go on and find out for yourself ;)

It's New Year's time! That means making Mochi and partying! We had a mochi tsuki on Saturday with our ward. We smashed some rice up in a huge wooden bowl made from a tree stump with a big wooden hammer. It was really fun. I was the guy who scooped the rice back into the middle of the usu (bowl) and Perkins Choro was smashing rice with the kine (hammer). It was a lot of fun, but sticky and messy. We are going to a members house today to do it again too! Fun stuff here in Japan!
Our week was kind of slow with the Holidays, but we met with Ouchi-san again. He really enjoys the Liahona we gave him. He is doing well and we have another appointment with him on Saturday. Things will probably pick up this week because we got some potential investigators last week and everyone has time off for Shogatsu (New years).
We got word that Elder Perkins is transferring. I am really sad to see him go. He has been one of my best companions. I will be a trainer again. So I don't know who my new comp is yet. Elder Perkins is transferring to Toyota and he will be companions with my MTC companion, Koch Choro. My world is changing again. :)
Recently we have been doing the LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) as a mission and it is very cool. President Baird also gave us specific instructions on how we should implement it into our personal study. Everyday we read a little bit of 2 Peter 1 and I found something really cool in verse 19 this past week as I read it. It talks about letting the "day star arise in your heart." I wasn't sure what the day star was so I went to Revelation 22:6-16, one of the footnote references. In verse 16, Christ says that he is the "morning star." I was thinking this past week about how I can let the day star arise in my heart. It's awesome that we have so much revealed truth in our day. I would encourage everyone who reads this email to study 2 Peter 1 and think about how he or she can become more Christlike. One thing that I have felt throughout this transfer as we've been doing the ARP, is an added measure of the Spirit. I have also felt the Atonement's influence in my life more fully. It has also helped me understand more of how to help the investigators here and also my fellow man.
Being a missionary is awesome, but it goes way too fast. I'm on the first day of my 7th transfer. I hit my year mark at the beginning of next transfer. It's insane. This truly is the Lord's work and He is guiding it in every land. I know Heavenly Father loves His children and I am so grateful to be a part of this work.
Well, love you all.

It is kind of the dirty little secret of television that it is okay to show images that would be normally repugnant and unacceptable otherwise — simply because it is not real. Photos and images that would normally be banned as too graphic are allowed under the guise that it is okay because they are not showing something that actually occurred.
But as some of this year's television shows have stretched the boundaries of what we will tolerate, a question has arisen as to: where do we draw the line? Television shows like THE KILLING, AMERICAN HORROR STORY and THE WALKING DEAD are challenging our sense of morality and ethics of what should be allowed to be shown in the television format.
Last spring, when THE KILLING debuted, there was an outcry over the way Rosie Larsen's body was show both in the trunk of the car and the photos of her final injuries — not to mention the videotape of her best friend being assaulted.
More recently, there was outcry over THE WALKING DEAD's strategic use of children to further its dramatic story by showing the accidental shooting of Carl which opened this season, bookended by the intentional killing of Sophia – albeit, in her newly incarnated "walker" state.
And to a lesser extent, there was some adverse reaction to AMERICAN HORROR STORY's blood-bath slaying of the red-headed twins in its opening sequence of its premiere.
It can be argued that each of these shows are accompanied by parental warnings that the scenes depicted may be too upsetting to some viewers. But is that enough? Should such acts of violence be shown in the first place? Do we have to see a child (or even child-actors) in such situations? Does it make it any less disturbing and haunting to see violence towards children portrayed?
In the case of AMERICAN HORROR STORY and THE WALKING DEAD, those shows are known to have supernatural elements which we do not consider real, so the universe they inhabit is not as closely associated with our "real" world. The thought is that our tolerance is higher when the world depicted is supposed to be other-worldly — it helps us disassociate from the violence we are watching.
However, in THE KILLING, it is supposed to be a mirror-image of our world – it is supposed to represent something that can happen in the "real" world – and it frightens us. We do not like to acknowledge, let alone watch such atrocities exist in our society or in the world around us. In its defense, THE KILLING is supposed to be a cautionary tale of what can happen when a teenager steps outside of their parents' protective circle.
But, as a viewer, at what point do we declare it is too much? Looking at it a bit more closely, I found that I am less offended when the violence is not directed towards a child per-se, but rather towards a child that is actually supposed to be a creature. Like in THE WALKING DEAD, once Sophia was transformed into a "walker," my brain understood that she was no longer a child – she was a zombie-like creature that had arisen from the dead. She was already dead and now was a creature. Not unlike shows that show children infected with demons. We no longer see a child; we see a monster.
But in the case of AMERICAN HORROR STORY, the children were simply unruly and delinquents, not monsters. Their death was horrifying and disturbing to watch because they were simply children — just like Rosie Larsen.
Violence towards a child is just different. Our brains protest watching those kinds of scenes or seeing the trauma a child suffered because we feel helpless. As a viewer, we do not simply want justice or vengeance – our desire is to protect and to be denied that basic urge to help is frustrating. In fact, my inclination is to fast-forward such scenes as it invokes such a strong reaction.
There is a distinct difference to watching a childlike "creature" getting blown away opposed to watching a child suffer. It makes me wonder: who exactly can sit through those scenes and remain unaffected – and what audience a show is trying to appeal to by showing such violence?
Television is a lens by which we watch fictionalized stories. We are invited to participate as the viewer in their struggles, their joys, and their triumphs. Depending on the craving of the day, we can tune in and watch a drama, a comedy, or even a slice-of-life portrayal.
The question shifts slightly from: what do we watch vs. what should we be watching? Should we be made to see atrocities up-close-and-personal, or should there be a bit of creative ingenuity employed so that we are not made a voyeuristic party to the crime itself? Once upon a time, television sensors would never have allowed the actual depiction of some acts of violence – blood spurts and other gore were left up to the viewer's imagination. But in an effort to make fictionalized television stories more real, in modern television, emphasis was placed on making each act look and sound more real. It was the "show, don't tell" philosophy.
While I applaud the effort to get television to show us more interaction between the characters and de-emphasize the need for monologues describing a scene, there must be a line. Some things are simply too disturbing to be depicted visually. It assumes the audience or the viewer wants to participate in such horror.
I posit that the line needs to be reestablished. The television world needs to reconsider what is necessary to show in their story versus what they can allude to. I have no desire to be made an unwitting accomplice in watching crimes against children (even in a fictional world). It is one thing to have to hear about it, it is another to be forced to endure – making me an unwilling participant.
In the three examples I have cited above, only two of the shows fall within these acceptability criteria. THE WALKING DEAD very carefully chose its ending note for its mid-season finale. Sophia was no longer an innocent child to be protected, she was already dead – she had died long before when the "walker" infection overtook her. Then in THE KILLING, they have been very careful to not make the audience a party to the crime which claimed Rosie Larsen's life. That leaves AMERICAN HORROR STORY clearly within the crosshairs of acceptability. Did it go to far in its depiction of violence towards children? Does it make it any more acceptable that it is set in a supernaturally-infused world? My gut reaction is a steadfast "no." But perhaps to you, it has not yet crossed that line.
But you should think about it: when does the depiction of violence towards children become unacceptable? And at what point do you see yourself as being forced to be a passive participant? Are you truly a television viewer that can disassociate to such a degree that nothing you see affects you whatsoever?
Television is not supposed to recruit disinterested and disassociated viewers. Television is about engaging our imaginations. It is all a matter of what television is trying to engage us with — that is what we need to be pay closer attention to. Are we being asked to laugh at a joke? To cry for the loss of a child? Or to be forced to watch children suffer? Even when it is not real, it looks real and we are being asked to believe that it could be real. Perhaps there needs to be a line as to what we are willing to tolerate – even in fiction.

UX Design for Startups — Improve your Product's UX in One Day, Part 1
Many startups are under pressure to build a minimum viable product, and to get it in the hands of the public as soon as possible. That's fine if there is an endless budget and all the time in the world. But, not everyone can afford to spend months on development and then launch to only discover they will need to start all over. That's why a dedicated yet condensed strategic phase — that utilizes UX and design thinking methodologies — can help startups get to a viable solution much faster. Without having to invest or commit too much time, money and resource up front.
In following successful companies who embrace design thinking — AirBnB, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Lyft, Netflix or Twitter — startups soon realize that strategic and design thinking can't be outsourced. While it's easier to sometimes hire external designers or an agency, true long-term success requires design to be an integral part of the company's culture. Therefore, startups often approach us to assist, mentor, and educate them on how to use UX and Design thinking to improve their product's UX. As time and budget are often limited, a long term engagement is not always an option. Instead, we gather everyone in a room for a day to introduce key UX and Design thinking methodologies, along with a toolbox of practical exercises and processes.
Considering the design field is so vast, it's impossible to cover all areas in one day. Hence, we tend to focus more on strategic (e.g. what is your value proposition) rather than tactical (e.g. what typeface to choose) aspects, that can help startups to make immediate improvements to their product's UX. As such, we particularly concentrate on:
- User interviews
- Fragmenting data
- Value proposition
- Customer journey mapping
- Communication
- Generating ideas
- Validating ideas
In this article we will cover the first three items from the list, with the rest to be covered in Part 2 of the article next week.
1. User interviews
User research focuses on understanding user behavior, needs, and motivations via observation and other feedback mechanisms. The goal is to identify, early on, the elements needed to establish a good user experience, whether a concept works for users, and what problems may need solving. What you want to avoid, above all else, is having to rectify issues when you're further along in the design process. This can not only be costly but also make it more difficult (or nearly impossible) to start over. When done right, user research can also provide a solid foundation against which to test prototypes, allowing you to check how successful you've been at meeting users' needs.
A face-to-face interview is hands down the easiest tool to use. If it's not something you've done before it can be a challenge at first. However, the good news is that with regular practice of conducting interviews, you'll become a proficient user interviewer in no time. To get the most out of each interview, good planning and preparation is vital. To start with, make sure the sample user base is reflective of the target audience. While each individual testimony is invaluable, it's only by looking at them collectively that you'll find common patterns begin to emerge. But, you also need to create conditions for users to provide unbiased answers. Avoid common traps such as asking people what they want or actively selling a product to them. That's an interview just waiting to go wrong, which will result in biased and subjective views.
Whenever we conduct an interview, the user is not told the real purpose of the interview. While subconsciously they may be aware that they're being asked to test a concept, we don't want them to explicitly focus on the concept.
What we are really looking for are honest and unbiased insights. We don't want people to say something they think we'd like to hear, or whether they just hate a particular product or service. That doesn't tell us much. Even if a user is disappointed with your product or service, they can still sugarcoat their answers if they know the purpose of the interview. Even so, the opposite can be true, too! On one occasion, we interviewed a user recruited by our client. As they were told who we were and the purpose of the interview, they spent the entire session complaining about the product price and its value. As such, we were unable to gain any useful insights apart from the product, in their eyes, being expensive.
When conducting an interview, it's always best to adopt a casual and conversational approach. Forget about you in the moment and be genuinely interested in the person you are interviewing.
Get to know them and understand them. Ask open ended questions and let the user do the talking. For instance, when was the last time you did X? Can you explain your last five X? Why did you make that particular choice? Unearth why users do what they do, and whether any aspects of their lives influence how they do it. That way, you'll to discover any unmet needs and new opportunities.
While some common points may jump out at you in an interview others may pass you by. It can be a lot to take in, especially if running many user interviews over a few days. Thus, we always recommend that you keep some record of each session. Either video-record sessions, or take notes. In the case of the latter, ask a colleague to take notes while you maintain the conversation.
Finally, be aware that there could be times when a user has little or no interest in your product or service. Or situations where whole groups of users do not care much about what you're trying to solve. While your first reaction might be one of disappointment, such feedback is still invaluable. If nothing else, these can be early signals for you to either seek an alternative approach to the problem, or to redefine the problem space.
2. Fragmenting data
Whether you gather data from user interviews, a survey, or internal systems i.e. a helpdesk, at some stage you will need to consolidate and then break down the data in order to identify any recurring patterns.
An Affinity Map is one of the simplest techniques you can use to help make sense of any data. The goal of the exercise is to find patterns that identify problems people have which are also worth solving. For each piece of data identified use one sticky note and spread them out on a wall. Next, sort and classify the data in different ways. For example, along a timeline, by category, by place or by touch points. The more you rearrange and sort the data in different ways, the more you'll understand it and learn new things. In the words of information architect Christina Wodtke, you need to inhabit the data.
3. Value proposition
A value proposition is where your product intersects with the needs of your users. As a startup you need to distinguish yourselves from the competition. For instance, what makes your product better or unique from others, what will make people use it? If you have conducted any research and data analysis, could an identified pattern be turned into a new opportunity?
By defining a value proposition for their product, startups can segment their place in the market. Alex Osterwalder's Value Proposition Canvas is a popular tool used by many start-up accelerators. Yet, we find Peter J. Thomson's version to be better suited when working with startups as it places greater emphasis on user and marketing aspects over business aspects. In the author's own words:
The value proposition canvas is a simple tool that quickly gets you to the 'minimum viable clarity' required to start building and testing.
A Value Proposition Canvas can also help challenge people's preconceptions. When done for the first time, we find clients often come to the realisation that there's perhaps not enough information available to answer a section as they first thought. Thus, it can help identify areas in need of further analysis and research. The best results are also achieved when including functions outside of strategy and marketing as in our experience, they tend to offer alternative yet useful insights.
Continue to Part 2.

CROP Hunger Walk is a community-wide event sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations or groups to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world.
Currently, well over 2,000 communities across the U.S. join in more than 1,300 CROP Hunger Walks each year. More than five million CROP Hunger Walkers have participated in more than 36,000 CROP Hunger Walks in the last two decades alone.
CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts around the world. In addition, each local CROP Hunger Walk can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to hunger-fighting programs in its own community.
CROP Hunger Walks help to provide food and water, as well as resources that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs something CWS has learned through some 68 years of working in partnership around the world.

My sister, her husband, and my adorable nephew moved to DFW from Austin in August!! They live a short walk from my parents house and about a 25 minute drive from our house. AND they have a pool.
This is what happens when us crazy sisters hangout:
This is what happens when we include the dogs:
Since they moved back I have been able to see my sister and nephew at least once a week, we meet during my lunch breaks, have sleepovers, watch movies, play Just Dance, have picnics in the park, dress up my nephew in chicken outfits and take him to the pumpkin patch....
I LOVE having them here :)

I figure you give Donald trump two years to see if his approach works, the business rather than the political approach. You'll see at the end of two years if new jobs are being created, money flow comes back from overseas, all of that, the immigration chaos subsides. You got to give him two years, but I think I know what he's trying to do and you know we'll watch it.

Maybe now, we can all finally agree Emily Blunt is the most versatile female movie actor who isn't named Meryl Streep.
Not that Blunt's performance in The Girl on the Train (R) will satisfy fans more than anything she's done over the decade since her breakout role opposite Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. But the next Hollywood status step is carrying a box office hit on her shoulders, and this is Blunt's first legitimate shot at doing so.
Based on Paula Hawkins' bestselling novel, The Girl on the Train casts Blunt as Rachel Watson, long divorced and still drinking to forget it. Each weekday Rachel takes a commuter train to work, enabling peeks at hundreds of suburban homes including one shared by her ex-husband (Justin Theroux), his new wife (Rebecca Ferguson) and their child. Another belongs to Megan and Scott Hipwell (Haley Bennett, Luke Evans), a young, sexy couple; everything else that Rachel's life is missing.
One day, Rachel spies something disturbing at the Hipwells' home. She proceeds to get drunk, awakening the next day to a hangover, minor wounds and bruises, with no memory of what happened. That's a problem when Megan is reported missing, and Rachel falls under suspicion.
That's just the start of a licorice-twisty mystery that readers embraced like Gillian Flynn's comparably femme-centric thriller Gone Girl three years earlier. Let's hope The Girl on the Train turns out as entertaining as David Fincher's take on Flynn. Dreamworks suggests the comparison by opening director Tate Taylor's movie on practically the same day Gone Girl hit movie screens in 2014.
Despite its title, everything about the Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival happens in St. Petersburg this weekend. Freefall Theatre, 6099 Central Ave., is the sole venue for screenings from Thursday until Saturday evening, when Sundial 19 hosts two closing-night features. Tickets are $15 per session.
Thursday's selections at Freefall are The Firefly (7 p.m.), a Spanish language lesbian drama, and Do You Take This Man?, above, at 9:15 p.m. Friday's late-night highlight is Will Zang's documentary Real Kink (10:45 p.m.), with the director attending. Saturday's slate begins at 10:30 a.m., including a pair of short film collections, one serious (2:15 p.m.), the other silly (4:15).

Sleep well, madam. See you next weekend.

March '14 • Neutrals by the Beach
Monday, March 24, 2014
Back in New York as I'm writing this, and this is the last bits of my spring break in LA! Honestly, I was not dressed properly for the tide pools (cropped sweater in 75 degrees weather?) because my boyfriend and I decided to go last minute so I had some trouble walking on rocks with my flip flops while sweating nonstop. The view was beautiful though, and it was definitely worth the trip. I really miss the warm weather now that I'm back in the City because it is still so cold here even though it's already the end of March.
With this outfit, I keep it very causal by using neutral color pieces like my beige cropped sweater and black high waisted jean shorts. To keep the sun from blinding my eyes, I wore my Aviator Ray bans!

March '14 • Living in LA and Pizza
Friday, March 21, 2014
On this day, I headed out to Koreatown in LA to meet up with some friends from New York and eat the yummiest pizza at Mr. Pizza on Wilshire Blvd. This was a special meet up because I was introducing my boyfriend to my friends (muhaha). Because he goes to school in California, there was never a chance for him to see my friends until now! I guess I wanted to dress fancier than usual so that I can look good for both my friends and him haha. I found this grey dress in the back of my closet and decided to wear it when I can for the warm weather, and I topped it off with a speckled knit cardigan, statement necklace, fringe bag, and my Jeffrey Campbell Litas. I have to give photo creds to my boyfriend for the pictures (Thanks Justin!) because it's always too much fun having him take my pictures.

March '14 • Spring Break in LA
Monday, March 17, 2014
It's always nice being back home, especially when my mom and I head out to Urth Caffe for brunch and shop around in Santa Monica! It feels more like summer than spring in LA, but I'm not complaining because I am finally able to leave the house without a jacket. I plan to soak in all the sun and visit lots of different places until I have to head back to the City on Sunday, so be on the lookout for more outfit posts!

March '14 • High Line
Saturday, March 8, 2014
Soaking in the sun (when I can) at the High Line Park in Chelsea today! One of the perks of going to school in the City is that professors assign you to go visit places like the park for homework. Since it was such a nice day out, sun shinning and all, my friend and I decided to stroll down to High Line instead of taking the train. The walk was much needed after spending the week cramped in my room, writing essays and preparing for midterms. But I will be heading back to California for spring break later this week, which motivates me to get my work done so that I can leave with no worries!
Hoping that the next time I post, I will be in sunny Cali,

March '14 • Brooklyn Flea Market
Saturday, March 1, 2014
Chilly Saturdays will not stop me from heading down to Brooklyn for the Brooklyn flea market! I've been planning on going to the flea for quite some time now, but I didn't get a chance to go until today. Unfortunately, the train that could have taken me directly to Bedford Av. (the subway stop nearest to the flea market venue) was not operating today, so I had the pleasure of transferring trains AND getting on a bus to get there. But it was all worth it because the flea market had so many amazing shops--jewelry, clothes, home goods, you name it! It's definitely worth the trip if you have time to kill and want to see cool, vintage-y things. I can't forget to mention the food at the flea market because everything smelled so good and the s'mores...literally heaven in your mouth (haha). Afterwards, I headed to Blue Bottle Coffee to grab their New Orleans Iced Coffee, which was very delicious, and admired the cafe's dainty interior design. Overall, a satisfying Saturday although the weather just seems to get worse and worse!

Good Reading : September 2006
26 goodreading ı SEPTEMBER 2006 word of mouth This section gives you an entertaining introduction to some of the books available this month, reviewed by famous names and new voices, all of them passionate readers, just like you. Each book has been given a star rating, and 'RG' indicates those books suitable for reading groups. You can write your own reviews on any of the books in this section at www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au and share your opinions with other gr readers. ★ Disappointing ★★ Worth a read ★★★ A good read ★★★★ Highly recommended ★★★★★ Outstanding RG Recommended for reading groups Talk Talk TC Boyle TC Boyle usually takes a current hot issue and tells his tale around it, illustrating how trends or social phenomena affect the lives of ordinary people. In this latest, very welcome, offering he tackles identity theft and the devastating consequences this has for Dana Halter, a deaf teacher of the deaf, and her boyfriend Bridger Martin. Dana's personal details have been appropriated by someone who has racked up two years' worth of outstanding warrants; eventually she's arrested and spends a couple of thoroughly unpleasant nights in the slammer before persuading the authorities of her innocence. But now she wants revenge. She wants to find this subhuman thief who has humiliated and ruined her (she loses her job over the ar rest) and make him hurt the same way she did. So Dana and Bridger set off across America to wreak vengeance on William Peck Wilson, the identity thief. As they get closer to Wilson and begin to encroach on his life, the tension builds to a nail-biting finale. As usual with Boyle, you'll need to keep a dictionary handy. Anyone immediately familiar with labile, crepitating, congeries, sclera? Read, enjoy and improve your vocabulary! ★★★★ RG Bloomsbury $29.95 Reviewed by Alison Pressley Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs Irvine Welsh It's always a treat to receive a new Irvine Welsh novel, but this is a bit of a strange one. Welsh (temporarily, I hope) deserts the sleazy haunts of Renton and his gang to portray the lives of council health inspectors Danny Skinner – raffish, well-dressed, a bit of a Jack- the-lad – and nerdy anorak Brian Kibby. When Kibby starts work in the same office as Skinner, the latter takes a violent dislike to him. Through some weird Dorian Gray transference, Kibby begins to manifest the outward signs of Skinner's debauched, alcoholic, drug-taking, football hooliganism life- style, while Skinner sails blithely on, untouched by physical or mental pain. Then Skinner decides to investigate the vexed question of his parentage on his father's side, and things start getting complicated. The action hots up as Kibby sinks further into physical chaos. It's an enjoyable enough read, but Welsh is not at his best in the living rooms – or bedrooms – of family homes. And Kibby and Skinner speak in Welsh's familiar Edinburgh 'schemie' dialect some of the time, plain English at other times, which is a bit ir ritating. Come back (again) Rent-boy, all is forgiven. ★★★ Jonathan Cape $32.95 Reviewed by Alison Pressley The Mathematics of Love Emma Darwin This story begins in Lancashire in 1819, when Stephen Fairhurst, a veteran of Waterloo, arrives at the Durwards' home to offer his hand and his worldly goods to their recently widowed younger daughter. But finding that she no longer wishes to accept his suit, he with- draws to Kersey Hall, his Suffolk home, where he starts to cor respond with the older daughter, Lucy. The story of his life unfolds as he tells Lucy of the unspeak- able horrors of war and the agony of a secret, lost love. The story moves to 1976, when teen- aged Anna comes to Kersey Hall, now a defunct boarding school, to live with her estranged uncle. She's ready for adventure and excitement but finds only boredom and loneliness and a strange feeling of apprehension. On meeting her neighbours and being given copies of Stephen Fair- hurst's letters, she becomes entangled in the story of the owner of this house 150 years ago. She lear ns the secrets of his life while her own secrets unfold, past and present. Emma Darwin weaves both stories together so masterfully. I found the beautifully descriptive passages a pleasure to read and the story very moving. I'm looking forward to reading it again, this time with deeper understanding. ★★★★★ RG Headline Review $32.95 Reviewed by Merle Morcom Find your next good read online at www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au DIRECT

Everyone knew the earl of Penhollow needed a wife, so one thunderous night the villagers gathered together to ask the ocean to deliver a bride to the bachelor lord . . .

But at first sight of this enchanting maiden, he knows he must claim her for his own. Taking her back to Penhollow Hall, he pampers her like a princess, determined to win her trust and her heart.
For Eden, awakening in an elegant bedchamber in a remote corner of Cornwall is like a perfect dream.

To date, DEBTORBOARDS MEMBERS have collected $702,677.77 from creditors...and have beaten back suits attempting to collect $618,320.51 from them. NOW OVER $1,300,000 !!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I seem to remember someone posting something a while back about a consumer law attorney in NJ, but the post has since been deleted...
Just got an email from JAMS indicating that today is the last day to cancel the matter without penalty and then the lawyer for AMEX immediately emailed me asking me if I have any interest in settling the matter. I need to get back to him ASAP. Please advise.So I went ahead and told them that I was interested in settling and they of course asked me to make an offer so that they can see if we're in the same ballpark before they request an adjournment. I think they should make the first offer since they're representing AMEX. Thoughts?
Any time someone asks me if I want to settle anything my immediate question is "how much are you willing to pay me to get me to go away?"
My reply to a request for financial hardship information?None of your business.
Because they are tricking you into a back door debtors exam. Once they know your assets and if you have any, the negotiations stop and they press ahead full speed with the arbitration and eventually court case. As I said earlier, this is an OC. An aggressive OC who will usually have everything needed to win a case. Unless you have some leverage somewhere or can use the BK card as a nuclear option, they do not back down. If you had offered 90%, they may have taken that just to save everyone the trouble. But since they asked, you tried and at least now you know where things stand. FYI, I am helping a relative in an arb case with them also. But we have the BK option on the back end along with fully exempt income from garnishment. So I have a few cards to play.Do the best you can for yourself, but it will be a tough road.
Don't the rules of your arbitration forum limit the amount of money that you are responsible for?I would keep that in mind.

Abu Camp
Set against the backdrop of the 450,000 acre Abu Concession in the Okavango Delta, Abu Camp offers a unique wildlife experience. The Okavango is home to Africa's largest elephant population and incredibly beautiful scenery. The camp is extremely well established, with 20 years of experience in elephant safaris, as such, while staying at the camp guests are able to interact with habituated elephants, offering an amazing insight into their lives and affording guests a true once in a lifetime experience.
There are a total of 6 en-suite rooms, all of which are elegantly decorated and furnished. While the accommodation is tented, the rooms are a far cry from any normal tent, with each room spacious, airy and reminiscent of a hotel room. Wooden decking raises the tents off of the ground for sweeping panoramic views of the Delta and the neighbouring lagoon, a hotspot for wildlife.
The communal dining tent and lounge offer similar views of the area, which can be explored by mokoro (dug-out canoe), on foot or by vehicle. Guests can share stories around the evening campfire, with award winning wine, delicious meals and sundowners ending the day in style. The camp also offers a gym and a unique star-bed, overlooking the elephant's enclosure for guests wishing to feel even closer to one of Africa's most majestic creatures.
How to get to Abu Camp
Abu Camp is an approximately 30 minute flight from Maun and 1 hour 30 flight from Kasane. The camp is a short drive from the airstrip.
Activities at Abu Camp
Bird watching, elephant interaction, game drives, game walks, mokoro trips (dug out canoe).
