The carrion-eating hagfish has been described as the "vacuum cleaner of the ocean". But it also has another claim to fame: it can see off its attackers in a puff of slime. Zurich scientists are researching how this fast-forming hydrogel could be harnessed for human use.
Jawless and boneless, the hagfish is a rather ugly-looking marine creature that has been around for more than 300 million years.
"They live in all the oceans except the polar seas, in the cold and rather salty waters. They are mainly scavengers, that means they feed on carcasses and dead bodies," explained Lukas Böni, from the Laboratory of Food Process Engineeringexternal link at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ).
So why are the hagfish of interest to researchers at the lab? The answer is in the creature's slime. When the hagfish is attacked or stressed it secretes vast amounts of the substance as a defence mechanism – as this shark finds out in this clip. It has to back off or face suffocation.
"Hagfish slime is special in many ways," doctoral student Böni told swissinfo.ch. "It's the most dilute hydrogel known today. It consists of 99.996% water which is a world record."
"It's also a hydrogel which forms extremely fast compared with other hydrogels, such as gelatine, that need time and energy input, so you need to cook it in order to form the gel. Hagfish slime forms in cold water with very little energy input."
Nappies and contact lenses
Hydrogels are already used in many fields, from plasters to nappies, in food, like the gelatine mentioned above, and even in contact lenses. But none are as efficient and fast-forming as the natural hagfish slime.
"Our overall aim is to understand this efficient gelation mechanism and to transfer this insight to other systems to make hydrogels more effective," Böni said of the lab's three-year research project.
The hagfish's hydrogel has two main components: 15-30 centimetre-long protein threads and mucin, which sits between the threads and makes the slime "slimy".
The mucus and thread is produced in special ventral glands along the side of the hagfish. When it's mixed with sea water it expands to create huge amounts of slime.
If you look at magnified pictures of the glandular secrete, as we did during swissinfo.ch's visit to the lab, you can see these tiny threads coiled up. But how the coiled up thread unravels and forms the slime is not yet fully understood.
You won't, however, see any hagfish in the Zurich lab. Coming from a landlocked country, the scientists had to look elsewhere for their hagfish - and found them at the Atlantic Park in Ålesundexternal link in Norway.
Norway and fishing
"They have become good friends of ours. They help us on a voluntary basis: by going fishing for us or we go with them," Böni said.
The four-person team visits Norway two to three times a year – the next visit is scheduled for October – to bring back slime samples. The first time the researchers went there, however, they were surprised to be met by a television crew.
But the resulting reportexternal link had its advantages when it came to doing the official paperwork to take the hagfish samples out of Norway, Simon Kuster, Böni's supervisor on the hagfish project, told swissinfo.ch.
"All those officials knew about us and they said: just send us all the necessary papers. So it was good and helpful - these crazy Swiss scientists in Norway trying to work with one of their least popular animals."
Norwegian fishermen hate the hagfish (in this case the Atlantic hagfish, Myxine glutinosa), Kuster explained.
"When they go fishing with nets in depths of 40-50 metres, hagfish will come into the nets and start to eat the fish in the net. So if the fishermen take the nets up too late, all they see is just some skin and bones and some slime in the net. There are millions of these hagfish in the sea there."
In any case, transporting the hagfish back to Switzerland is almost impossible, the scientists added. Hagfish don't like captivity. They would also get stressed out by the journey and release slime, suffocating themselves in the process.
So far the researchers have found out that the slime is susceptible to mechanic stresses. They have tried to stabilise it by adding other polymers external linkto ensure that it does not collapse so easily. Their latest research was published in Januaryexternal link.
Although there is some time before their research has practical applications, one possible use could be to structure foods, as the slime contains fibres, just as meat does.
"One nice thing is that it would be vegetarian, because when we harvest the slime the fish survives this," Böni added.
And has anyone from the team actually tasted the slime? Böni admits he has, but as it is basically water it "tastes of the sea" or whatever you mix it with.
The ETHZ team is the only one in Europe looking into hagfish slime so far. A team in Canada has proposed that the slime's fibres, which are similar to spider silk in being strong and stretchy, could be used to make textilesexternal link.
Scientists can learn a lot from nature, Kuster said. He enjoys the pure science of the slime project – observing, making a hypothesis, checking and correcting, coming up with new ideas - as well as the fruitful collaboration with their Norwegian colleagues.
As for Böni, he is pleased he can do something to rehabilitate this ocean 'hoover'. "Maybe by doing this research it will raise further awareness that the hagfish is actually a very important animal for the ecosystem," he said. And maybe its slime will be useful to humans, too.
Learning from nature
Biomimicry involves scientists looking at nature and trying to extract the most important things from to make something useful, Simon Kuster says.
Kuster got the idea of looking at hagfish slime after watching a BBC documentary on the hagfish.
Another example of biomimicry is sharkskin. It's covered by tiny V-shaped scales, called denticles, which reduce drag and turbulence. The principle has been used to make swimsuits which can improve a swimmer's speed.
Spider webs are also a goal in the research world, as recreating the powerful spider silk could produce durable fabrics. But no one has yet managed this most tricky of tasks.

from Jeremy
Over the past few years we've received many questions about how to get to early retirement. Nothing we're doing is groundbreaking, trailblazing, or even that out of the ordinary if you know where to look. Therefore, rather than attempt to pretend to be the creators of some new idea, I'd like to give you all the secret to our plan for Financial Independence and Early Retirement (FIRE).
Most of our learning has taken place over the course of more than 20 years of financial education. Yet, it really began in earnest when I was told about this site:
http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ - A blog focused on frugal yet highly enjoyable living. Rooted in stoicism, this blog sometimes gets a little preachy, but offers great lessons on how to reduce living expenses.
I found a like-minded individuals taking steps I knew I could take and living the life I was attempting to build. He had some great ideas of how to make my efforts more efficient. Therefore, I was grateful, and offer his work up to all of you as well.
From mustachianism, I learned about a guy named Jeremy living it up abroad:
http://www.gocurrycracker.com/ - A blog focused on international living, and the low cost associated with it. Very relatable and useful info.
My namesake happens to live in Asia for very cheap. I figured, if he could do it, I could do it with my family. It may take us a little longer (there will be four of us and we started in earnest later), but we're on a similar path. I highly recommend his blog to anyone interested in living outside the U.S.
In order to get abroad, I started learning about travel-hacking at this site:
http://www.travelmiles101.com/ - A blog and resource on how to create free travel. I've used the tools here to pay for our trip to Spain so that for the three of us our flight will cost $400 roundtrip total. We're also using the lessons learned here to pay for our trip to China to pick-up our adopted child for four people for a cost of $210 roundtrip.
One final note. As part of our FIRE plan, we intend to keep working, just doing what we love rather than what others are willing to pay us to do. For Jan that's taking care of the family, volunteering, helping research and programs in children's health, and writing this awesome blog www.lifeiscomfy.com. For Jeremy this involves continuing to contribute to this blog, teaching and writing my historical flash-fiction, which you can find at www.jeremystrozer.com. If we happen to make money doing these things, all the better.
So, there you have it. The not-so-SECRET to our FIREsauce.
How are you preparing for your future?
What resources have been most helpful in that process?
If you're interested in getting started on this process let us know. We'd be happy to help. We're going to need folks to visit all over the world, so we might as well help you get to where you want to be.

Increasing number of professional part-time workers feel "trapped"
Posted on July 8, 2013 by allmumkind | Comments (1)
A recent study found that a wide range of professionals who work part-time hours have identified that they feel trapped in their current role. The 1000 part-time workers who took part in the study expressed that in order to balance careers with their family they had to "trade down" their careers to sustain flexible working.
The study of the 1000 part-time workers was carried out by Timewise, used the findings to warn the Government to support more part-time workers in that their roles must not be seen as "low paid" career options.
The survey found that three out of four part-time workers sadly have not been promoted since they shifted their work pattern to flexible working. Over a fifth pointed out that they didn't expect to be promoted whilst holding down a flexible role.
Women's minister Maria Miller last month said flexible working is essential to help women back to work and boost the economy.

From #LuckyStarPham:
Hello, it's me again! Thank you so much for still sticking around and waiting for the next chapter of this story! I am such a terrible writer, haha! I couldn't get my hands on this story for a while, because inspiration didn't visit me. For some reason, I started working on the chapter following this chapter months ago, but couldn't think of anything to write on this chapter. The original idea I had on my head for this chapter was quite emotional, it made me cry really. Too bad I can't convey what I have in mind into words. I am truly sorry!
Stay tuned! I guess the next chapters will be better, if you are patient enough to get stuck with me hahahaha! Enjoy the chapter and please, please, please let me know what you think! Any feedback is welcomed!
P.S: I "stole" the pictures from talented editors on Tumblr. If you see them here, please know that I never say I make those edits – just want to use them to illustrate whatever is happening on my story.
Chap 9:
"How is she, doctor?"
Steve immediately stood up and moved closer to the doctor who slowly removed his surgical mask.
"We did everything we could, at least she's stable now. We need to keep her overnight for observation. If she can make it through tonight, she'll be transferred to Hawaii next thing tomorrow morning."
"What exactly did she suffer?"
"She went through a lot. Internal bleeding, a couple of broken bones, a mild concussion due to a hit to her head, 2 bullets to her right arm and left shoulder, so she lost quite a lot of blood; and a fever on top of that. I think it's safe to say she took quite a brutal beating and torture, plus she didn't eat properly for the last few days, maybe even longer, her body is too weak to fight against the fever. Also, they broke her fingers by clamping her fingers – very harshly, her fingers are all shattered now. The blood can't travel to the tips of her fingers. She is suffering a tremendous level of pain."
Steve felt a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach when he heard what the doctor said. He wanted to take all the pain away from her so badly. He hasn't even had a chance to look at Catherine yet. Steve knew she should rest, but he couldn't help begging the doctor.
"Can I visit her?"
"She's too weak now, and she's sleeping anyway."
"I won't wake her up. I just want to look at her sleeping."
Five minutes later, Steve was sitting next to Catherine's bed, silently looking at her. The doctor only gave him 10 minutes. Steve could barely breathe upon seeing that the beautiful pale woman lying on the bed. Seeing her like this ripped his heart out more than anything else, it almost felt like he could hear the sound of his heart being broken into a million pieces. Steve didn't bother trying to keep his tears at bay, there wasn't anyone watching him anyway. He leaned closer, observing all the bruises on her face and shattered hands. He wanted so badly to take her hands in his, but he was afraid to cause Catherine even more pain. It was easy to tell that Catherine wasn't sleeping soundly, she must have felt pain in every single cell of her body right now. Steve closed his eyes, softly whispered her name, wishing that he could be the one who took all the beatings and torture instead of the woman he loved.
The woman he has always loved.
Steve didn't think the next time they saw each other would be like this. Just a week ago, he imagined he would propose to her the moment she touched Oahu. He pulled out the ring from his pocket – the same ring he found after a week-long ring shopping mission on almost two years ago. The same ring he was holding when Catherine left him behind.
Could it be fate? That this ring brought them bad luck? Could it be this ring that repeatedly separated them? He should have bought another ring, as if it could bring them a brighter future, but the ring was stunning, simple yet delicate. Just like Catherine. He couldn't let go.
The door was opened, a nurse stepped in to let him know of the time. Steve quietly nodded, being grateful enough that they even let him in. He took another look at Catherine and finally decided to do something.
Steve carefully unfastened the necklace Catherine was wearing, slid the engagement ring onto it and put it back around her neck. He already knew her answer anyway. He gently kissed her on her forehead before leaving, mindful of all the dark bruises on her face.
Catherine had no idea where she was, all she could feel was the pain she was suffering. Both inside and out. She couldn't remember why it hurt so much, not only the physical pain, but also in her heart. Memories came flooding back, but she couldn't see, or remember anything clearly. Everything in her mind was blurry, her attempts – to recall anything recently – failed miserably. Something bad must have happened, the pain was too much to handle.
She was tired, she had never gone down without a fight, but not this time.
"You are on your own in this mission. There would be no extraction plan. Lieutenant, do you think you can handle this?", Was someone talking to her? She would be on her own. On her own.
"If you want out of this thing, why don't you just look me in the eyes and tell me you want out of this thing?"
"But you are choosing the place where I'm not."
"If you leave today, I can't… I can't wait for you, not anymore."
There was another man, who appeared in every single memory, who seemed to cause her a lot of pain. Would it be easier if she just let go of him?
"If you leave today, I can't… I can't wait for you, not anymore."
"This is Lynn. This is Catherine."
The tears slip down her face, Catherine wasn't sure whether it was from the physical pain or her memories. She couldn't breathe anymore. Maybe she should force his image and the sound of his voice out of her head. Yes… like that… the pain seemed to be a little more tolerable.
Catherine felt like she was letting the memories drift away. Slowly.
It felt like a lot of people were working around her. Or working on her body.
10 hours later,
Catherine's condition had gotten much better compared to when she was first admitted, but she hadn't regained consciousness. Steve didn't leave his sitting spot outside of her room, unless he had to go to the restroom or to get some crappy coffee from the vending machine.
"Hi", Simon tapped Steve on the shoulder, sitting down next to him.
"Hey", Steve still wasn't sure how he should feel about this man.
"How is she?"
"She's better now, but she is still sleeping. The doctors say she cries a lot in her sleep, probably from the pain, so they're giving her her pain meds. At least she is resting, I hope."
"Can I see her? I'm leaving in a couple of hours. Just want to check on Catherine for the last time."
"I'm not the doctor here", Steve shrugged, shaking his head. This Simon reminded him too much of Billy Harrington. Steve couldn't get rid of the jealousy deep down inside. This guy had always been there for Catherine when he wasn't – for the past two years.
"Already got the doctor's permission. I want to ask you, though."
"You do know that you don't really have to ask me for any kind of permission, right?"
"Of course I know. I just… I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me and Catherine."
"Go ahead", Steve pointed to Catherine's room, and when Simon opened the room and was about to step in, Steve let out a soft sound, "Thanks for asking!"
20 minutes later.
Simon came out of Catherine's room, his eyes reddened and his shoulders sagged. He looked like he was trying to hide his real emotions – something that Steve was so familiar with. For the first time, Steve realised how deep Simon's feelings went for Catherine.
"This is actually so much harder than I thought it would be."
Steve didn't say anything, just waited for Simon to continue.
"Walking away from her."
"Why don't you wait for her to wake up? You can stay if you want."
"I have a job to do, you know… Besides, you're already here. It would be even harder to leave after she wakes up."
There was a long silence between the two men, both were pursuing their own train of thought.
"I always thought I would punch you in the face the moment we met, because I've only heard what went down from Catherine's side and I saw how Catherine pined for you. She couldn't move on, move forward with me – no matter how hard I tried to impress her. But I guess I was wrong. You look a lot more broken than the Steve in my imagination. Catherine deserves to be happy, I hope I will never have to regret what happens today."
"I will treat her right. I won't let her go again. I will fight for her this time", Steve turned to face Simon, that was the very first time they looked each other directly in the eyes.
"Good, that's good. I'll hold you to that. I'm still working for the CIA, I'll keep tabs on both of you", Simon flashed a friendly yet sad smile. He stood up, his eyes set on the door of Catherine's room.
"Simon, there is something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Was Catherine happy doing what she was doing?"
"Catherine didn't join the CIA of her own free will. She was protecting you. That's all I know. I can't say she hates the job, she's a great asset to any team, she is one of the most outstanding and resourceful officers I've ever known. She's always professional and as I said, she kept things close to her chest for a while, but I can tell her heart isn't really on the job. I think she wants nothing more than to come back to you. It is very hard for me to admit this."
"Thank you! For everything!", Steve sounded genuine. "I will let you know about Catherine's condition."
Hearing Steve's promise, Simon looked at Catherine for the last time through the glass door before turning around and leaving the hospital.
What do you think about what is gonna happen next?

In order to build a smart digital technology hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) signed letters of intent (LOI) on the 8th of August with Quanta Computer and Wistron Corporation, respectively. The LOIs were signed by top management of the three organizations, including Dr. Deh-Ming Chang (Superintendent of TVGH), Mr. Barry Lam (Chairman & CEO of Quanta), and Mr. Simon Lin (Chairman & CSO of Wistron). Together they proclaimed a shared vision of promoting smart healthcare technologies in Taiwan, elevating quality of medical care, creating a safer and more efficient workspace to hospital staff, and making Taiwan's smart healthcare systems the leader of the world.
The development plans underway include "Integration of Patient Information System", "Pre-discharge Service and Home Healthcare System", "Smart Medical Record and Medical Decision System ", "Mobile Ward Round System", "Scenario-based Clinical Skills Training System", "Smart Dialysis Decision System", and "Digital Pathology Diagnosis System". The latest information technologies and artificial intelligence will be introduced to make hospital management more efficient. The medical staff will be able to spend more time on patients, so as to improve medical quality effectively. In return, patients will benefit from convenience and services brought forth by advanced technologies.
The Chairman & CEO of Quanta, Mr. Barry Lam points out that TVGH is reputable and globally known for its excellence in medical skills, as well as its rich clinical and research experiences. For many years, Quanta has been devoting itself to relevant domains such as smart healthcare, smart medical and remote healthcare, aside from its strength in core businesses. Quanta will not only fully support the initiative of Smart Digital Technology Hospital at TVGH, it will also actively introduce artificial intelligence and technical innovations into the medical industry. Chairman Lam looks forward to nation-wide improvement in health and welfare of all citizens, which will also create a new opportunity for Taiwan's AI industry.
"Gothenburg is well positioned in the Nordics and close to northern Germany. I've been impressed by some of the region's tech innovations, not to mention the open mindedness and welcoming attitude of the people. We all feel that Gothenburg is a good location for finding business opportunities and cooperative partners in the Nordic area." said Dr. Ted Chang, CTO & Vice President of Quanta Computer Inc. – reported by Business Region Göteborg, 15 May 2018
We were excited to be back to Gothenburg to attend Vitalis/MIE 2018! This year, we showcased our QOCA® Smart Hospital @ Home and QOCA® Q-tube at Booth# B07:40. QOCA® Q-tube was demonstrated and highly complimented by the delegates! Furthermore, on April 25, Dr. Ted Chang, our CTO, VP&GM of Quanta Computer, was invited to speak at "eHealth Investment and Partnering Event". His speech, "Digital Transformation in the Health Industry", was very inspiring and well received by the audience of SMEs, representatives of regional governments, as well as academic and research organizations.
The annual Zorg & ICT event was held in Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, Netherlands from 17th to 19th April 2018. The ICT developments and healthcare professionals were the focus of the exhibition. QOCA® home, an innovative platform for healthcare and social care, was also demonstrated.

Hi, my name's Jutta Stiller and I'm a woodcarver and sculptor
I make things that fit into your life so that you cannot remember what life was like before you had them for people who want something a little different from 'the norm', something that may not exist elsewhere, something you can't buy off the shelf.
My work is not art, craft nor design – but somewhere in between.
At college I was told I was too Fine Art for the Craft and Design course, but too Craft and Design for Fine Art. What they said was my work had too much thought, meaning and context to be pure Craft and Design and was made too well to be pure Fine Art.
Suits me, who wants to be the same as everyone else?
Just as my work does not fit snugly into one particular 'box', I feel that my dual nationality makes me not fit snugly into either place – in Germany I'm the English one, in the UK I'm the German one. I exist in this special place in the melded middle, neither completely one nor the other yet able to appreciate both sides.
The first question most people ask when they find out what I do is "how did you get into that?" closely followed by "where did you learn that?". The answer to both questions is both short and sweet – "my Dad".
"If you have a Reubens or a Rembrandt to frame then come to me, otherwise go somewhere else."
That's what my Dad used to say when people asked him to explain what he did and he meant it, he even had Van Gogh's Sunflowers in his workshop once.
I doubt that I would ever have known of woodcarving, especially frame carving, if he hadn't have done it for a living. And he would probably never have chosen it if it hadn't have been one of the only two choices he had where he grew up in the Bavarian Alps (the other option was Ski Instructor).
Both he and his brothers went to the local carving school, one becoming a stone sculptor, one an ecclesiastical figure carver and Dad – on a bet – came to London and became a frame carver. A job that a lot of people don't even realise exists.
I remember being so excited every time I got the chance to go visit dad at the workshop when I was small. It seemed like such a magical place with all the wood chips and machines and bits of wood all over the place just crying out to be built into 'things'. I loved it.
As I got older I got the chance to make things that I wanted to at the workshop with dad taking the time out from his own work to help, advise and teach. It never seemed an odd thing to me to have access to such a space, it was only when I got older that it dawned on my that not everyone had the same opportunity. Particularly when my textiles teacher had a go at me for getting my GCSE work 'professionally framed'.
I learned my carving 'on the job' with work that counted to the business with dad showing me what I had to do then it was my turn to 'get on with it'. I suppose it must be quite rare that all the pieces I learned on were sold and are now hanging around the world
In 2003 I was studying for both an MA and a teaching qualification when my dad was diagnosed with cancer and died quite soon after. I took the, what at the time seemed a simple, decision to take over the business. I was confident that he had taught me enough that I could cope. Though the first ever frame I made completely on my own, a small mahogany flat frame, took me a week to make as I just couldn't stop my hands from shaking.
I have made an awful lot of traditional pattern carved frames since I started carving, they hang in galleries, auction houses and museums in London and around the world.
More recently I have begun looking at making some stuff that I would like to make rather than always making to someone else's design. Heading in a more sculptural direction with my love of texture and my eye for shape.
When it comes to my own work I like to make things that the viewer has to work a little to get the most out of. Some people will only see the surface, others will delve deeper, some will miss it completely. I believe that everyone see things differently as they all bring their particular interpretation to a piece depending on how their life experience has shaped them. I love to pull together references from different, often seemingly obscure, sources and areas. I guess you might say that I have eclectic tastes.
I like the way I look at the world, sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the inspiration I find. I have a need to make these ideas into something so that other people have a chance to look, to question, to be inspired or just to like it, or love it, or the biggest compliment of all – take it home with them and own it.
And if they don't?
Well if we all like the same things life would be very boring indeed now wouldn't it?

This project is an expansion of the existing hotel, Hotel Kanra Kyoto, converting an adjacent educational facility into a hotel space that offers more experience than just lodging: there are 39 new guest rooms, 2 restaurants, a café & shop, a spa, and a Kintsugi artisan's workshop.
Aiming to preserve Kyoto's heritage and to always keep it fresh through the expression that coincides with the changes of the times, the project held "Heritage and Innovation" as the main renewal concept.
Hotel's interior design appointed immutably essential materials in order to realize a space whose authenticity resonates in people's hearts; wood, soil, stone, metal, and greenery were incorporated with Kyoto's traditional artisanal crafts and techniques.
Such materials as Kiyomizu ware ceramics, Nishijin brocade, paper-covered partitions, tatami, and wooden bath tubs were also furnished in the space creating a freshly innovative overall design.


text: I've searched the forums and the internet for this for a couple of hours now, but didn't come up with any help. I installed RVL-mios-v5.wad, then patched it with RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad using the patcher that came with the Wii Gamecube Homebrew Launcher. Everything went well. However, when I try to start WGHL, I get an error message: "Failed to load start.dol". Anyone having any ideas? The start.dol is SD-Boot. I'm running a 4.2 PAL Wii. Any and all help appreciated! Edit: Before anyone asks the obvious: Yes, I'm loading from front SD, yes the start.dol is at the root of the SD. Edit 2: Tried with the SD card formatted in both FAT16 and FAT32, neither worked. Also tried with different homebrew, such as Cube64, still get the same error message.

Study: Motherhood Changes Rules for Marketing
BabyCenter-Nielsen research reveals how women - once they become moms - change their media consumption and shopping behaviors.
BabyCenter-Nielsen research reveals how women - once they become moms - change their media consumption and shopping behaviors.
Motherhood results in dramatic shifts in media consumption and shopping behaviors, a BabyCenter-Nielsen study found.
"Marketers need to understand this is a dramatic transformation – when a woman becomes a mom," Mike Fogarty, global publisher, BabyCenter, said in an interview Friday. "That transformation affects virtually every aspect of her life, from the criteria for all the products she buys to the brands she prefers."
The study found that the more devices that a mother owns, the more media she consumes. On average, moms spend 10.9 hours daily with media. Moms who own a smartphone, tablet, and Internet TV device spend a total of 17 hours consuming media.
"How do you fit in 17 hours? She's doing a lot of it all at the same time. [Moms] are leading the charge in terms of the variety of devices they use to consume media – all types of media," Fogarty said. That means a mother may be simultaneously watching TV and texting with a friend on a tablet or smartphone.
Consider these other factoids:
-American moms spend an average of 66 hours a month online, which is twice as much as the general public. American moms also spend an average of 16 hours a month on Facebook versus eight hours for the general public, according to Nielsen NetView data for October 2011.
-The American mom is 38 percent more likely than the general population to own an Internet TV device (e.g., Apple TV, Roku), 28 percent more likely to use a tablet, and 38 percent more likely to own a smartphone.
-Women, once they've become moms, spend three hours a day feeding their children, 1.5 hours a day putting their children to bed, and a little more than an hour a day on kids' activities. They also said they spend less time exercising, participating in hobbies, and sleeping.
-Moms feel more rushed, overwhelmed, and deal-driven than the general population.
Takeaways for marketers? Products and messaging must address the new mindset, such as emphasizing good value (e.g., free shipping) and products that simplify their life.
Moms also expect more from advertising than the general population.
The findings were the result of in-home interviews with moms, survey research among over 2,500 moms and other online adults, and a three-screen behavior analysis with Nielsen.

Baptists and the Communion of Saints
A Theology of Covenanted Disciples
By Paul S. Fiddes, Brian Haymes and Richard Kidd
Subjects: All Theology
This book fuses the Church's traditional doctrine of the Communion of Saints and Baptists' theology of salvation and discipleship—charting how Baptists can speak of a communion of saints here and now. Paul Fiddes and his coauthors emphasize that this communion is only possible within the fellowship of the triune God who covenants with and for believers.
Reframing communion within a theology of covenant enables the affirmation of the practice of prayer and mutual support with all faithful disciples, both alive and dead. Such a covenantal understanding of communion avoids an unhealthy obsession with communication with those who have died. Baptists and the Communion of Saints thus makes a significant and practical difference in the way Baptists understand the nature of the church, prepare their worship, care for the dying and the bereaved, go on spiritual journeys, and celebrate baptism and the Lord's Supper.
1. Why Talk about the Saints?
2. Memory and Communion
3. Hope, Strangeness, and Interconnections
4. Praying with Mary and All the Saints
5. The Fellowship of Faces
6. Communion and Covenant
Conclusion: The Difference the Doctrine Makes
"This is an exceptionally well-written, many-sourced, imaginative and theologically generous book. If written primarily with fellow-Baptists in mind, it nevertheless deserves a much wider and ecumenical readership. Thinkers of every tradition will learn from it."
—Keith Clements, Ecclesiology
"This is a richly simulating book, born of conversation and shared theologising by three Baptist theologians of whom we should be justly proud. It explores an area of doctrine where these three do no fear to tread, even if angels might be cautious, and unfolds for us dimensions of the reality of the purposes and breadth of God that we, as Baptists, have ignored to our impoverishing and disabling."
—Paul Goodliff, Baptist Quarterly
"Baptists and the Communion of Saints is a feast to relish. Not only does it offer substantive and convincing proposals for a properly Baptist approach to this issue, it is a sterling example of constructive theology."
—Dan R. Stiver, Cook-Derrick Professor of Theology, Logsdon School of Theology, Hardin-Simmons University
"An important and timely book on one of the most neglected articles of the Apostles' Creed, Baptists and the Communion of Saints explores what it means for believers to share together life in Christ in this world—and the next—along the boundaries of space and time that both separate and unite the church militant, triumphant, and vigilant."
—Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University and Chair, Doctrine and Christian Unity Commission, Baptist World Alliance
Paul S. Fiddes is Professor of Systematic Theology in the University of Oxford. He was Principal of Regent's Park College, Oxford (1989-2007), a Baptist foundation, and has been Chair of the Doctrine and Unity Commission of the Baptist World Alliance. He is the author of Tracks and Traces: Baptist Identity in Church and Theology (2003) and Seeing the World and Knowing God: Israelite Wisdom and Christian Doctrine in a Late-modern Context (2013).
Brian Haymes was Principal of Northern Baptist College, Manchester (1985-94), Principal of Bristol Baptist College (1994-2000), and President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. He is active in retirement in writing and preaching. He is the author of The Concept of the Knowledge of God (1988) and coauthor of On Being the Church (2008).
Richard Kidd was Principal of Northern Baptist College, Manchester (1994-2009) and Co-Principal of Northern Baptist Learning Community (2009-2012). His life at present includes voluntary work with the Baptist Missionary Society in India. He is coauthor of God and the Art of Seeing (2003) and editor of Something to Declare: A Study of the Declaration of Principle of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (1996).
All three authors are ordained ministers of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and have been friends for more than thirty years.

What makes hair removal treatments by Laser by Sia so special? One of the main complaints that women have about unwanted hair is that no matter what you do to get rid of it, it still grows back. Sometimes even thicker; this makes it even harder to get rid of. However, with Laser by Sia treatments, you will discover that not only will your hair removal be permanently reduced, but it will not cost an arm and a leg. All of this is done with the latest technology available. This has been proven to be the best and cost effective solution for getting rid of unwanted hair.
If you are a woman who is looking for a convenient and effective way to get rid of unwanted hair, the following are just a few types of procedures that are offered at the Australia's finest city laser clinic:
Women's Facial Hair Removal
Any woman who has facial hair would do anything to get rid of it. Whether it happened as a result of fluctuating hormones or because of prescribed medication, no woman wants hair on her face. Not only is it unsightly, but it is also extremely embarrassing.
This is not something that you have to live with. Yes, it is possible to get rid of facial hair in sensitive areas, like your eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, and ears. It is even possible to remove the hard-to-treat facial stubble that some women unfortunately have.
Laser by Sia can get rid of unwanted facial hair. It will usually require that you return roughly every 4 to 5 weeks in order to make sure that the hair follicle is damaged so the hair growth is reduced. This might seem like an inconvenience in the beginning but when you think about the results, it makes it all worthwhile. You will be completely hair free for 4 to 5 weeks and have a smooth and beautiful face and feel confident again.
Women's Body Hair Removal
If it is simple for Laser by Sia to remove hair from sensitive places, then the process is just as simple for removing body hair. This means that your days of waxing, using bleaching creams, and every type of shaver under the sun are long gone. This form of hair removal is fast and will only take an average of 15 minutes for most procedures.
So if you need to get rid of hair in places such as your bikini area, underarms, breasts, or stomach, then the hair removal treatments at Laser by Sia are going to be your best bet. Laser hair removal is a relatively safe, cost-effective, and convenient long-term option for getting rid of unwanted hair.

Boss' Wireless Technology
For the WL-20, Boss used the high-performance wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air, providing players with incredible sound quality and a wide dynamic range. The system runs at a 2.4 GHz frequency band and automatically selects the optimum channel, delivering a rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no chance for the signal to drop out. The Wl-20 also features an ultra-low latency of 2.4ms, ensuring players receive no lag between playing a note and hearing it.
Built-In Cable Tone Simulation
The addition of a cable tone simulation recreates the natural capacitive effect that's produced when a guitar or bass with a passive pickup is connected to a 10ft guitar cable. This slight effect adjusts the level of treble the guitar produces, adding a warm characteristic for an ultra-realistic, wired performance.
Quick & Easy Setup
Unlike other wireless systems which have you fiddling with channels, frequencies, and other requirements, the Boss WL-20 only requires you to dock the transmitter in the receiver for 10 seconds. This automatically sets the system up with the optimum connection and lets you simply plug in and start rocking out. This Wireless system also charges via a micro USB cable, letting you charge the transmitter and receiver anywhere in the world.
- Plug-and-play wireless systems for guitar, bass, and other electronic instruments
- No complicated setup required—simply dock the transmitter and receiver together for about 10 seconds to set the optimum wireless connection
