In the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy, businesses from banks to baseball teams have mobilized in support of storm victims by lending their assets to nonprofit organizations.
Those that have tried to make marketing opportunities out of tragedy have been publicly and loudly admonished (see American Apparel). Those that have quietly but solidly stood by with offers of support have fared much better in the jury of public opinion.
All businesses would be well advised to use the calm after the storm to proactively plan how to communicate when future calamities occur as they unfortunately, but inevitably, will.
Depending on your industry, scale, resources and culture, there are many ways to go. Looking at the post-Sandy environment, at least three approaches stand out:
Outstanding Customer Service: As the super storm was bearing down on my home in suburban New York, I was impressed by the anticipatory outreach being conducted online, on the airwaves and in print by insurance companies, banks and other service providers.
Citibank and JP Morgan Chase let me know via email that they would be extending credit card payment deadlines. Allstate was one of the insurance carriers disseminating instructions on how to file claims. JetBlue Airways shared that it would waive change and cancellation fees for travelers impacted by Sandy. As scary as the howling winds and threats of damage were, it was comforting to receive these messages and humanized these corporations.
Targeted Donations: As soon as the winds died down, a torrent of announcements of five-, six- and seven-figure cash and in-kind donations to the American Red Cross, food banks and other nonprofits were released by major corporations. While it would be inappropriate for these to be linked to marketing messages this is highly appropriate form of corporate philanthropy that positions big companies as good neighbors.
Offers to match or reward consumer and employee donations have the potential to create even greater feelings of community. Western Union, for example invited employees to join in donation efforts, matching their donations to the Red Cross two-for-one. Both United and American Airlines offered consumers frequent flyer points when they donated to the American Red Cross and other disaster responders. Capital One is matching up to $200,000 of cardholder contributions of cash and credit card rewards via its No Hassle Giving site. Wells Fargo is accepting consumer donations via ATM machines to the Red Cross.
Creative Brand Extensions: Particularly impressive are well thought out efforts by companies that have developed authentic ways to offer help that link back to their brand essence. Great examples include:
You needn't be a Fortune 500 company to show you care and strengthen relationships when disaster strikes. Barteca, operator of a small group of restaurants, won my eternal gratitude when they emailed customers the day after the storm to say that all were welcome to come use their restrooms, electrical outlets and wireless internet -- no purchase necessary.
Whether you run a neighborhood bar or a multinational corporation, now would be great time to think through how your company can put its best foot forward when the Great Blizzard, Wildfire or Temblor of 2013 strikes. I sincerely hope that you won't need to implement such a plan, but I'm very sure you will.
What company efforts have you witnessed that either resonated with you...or didn't?

Been hard at work since the beginning of the year working on various home improvements. In January, we finished the ceiling and crown moulding in the kitchen, and this month we're bound and determined to finish sanding the living room floor and polyurethane it. My mother had done the library/piano room on her own, so I do feel obliged to do the bulk of the living room. At first, the critters went scurrying away from the noise like they do from the vacuum cleaner. After a week of it, they can sleep right through.
What noise?

Samsung, Oracle Link To Upgrade The Enterprise
Enterprise technology has often been the result of two tech conglomerates forging ties to develop business solutions. Take Apple and IBM, for instance; the two struck a collaboration last year to develop enterprise-specific mobile apps and solutions for Big Data. Similarly, Google and Dell also made an alliance to develop enterprise-level devices.
Now, a new enterprise-tech couple is going public. On Friday (Feb. 19), reports revealed that Samsung and Oracle are working together to develop mobile apps for the conglomerate.
"In today's mobile environment, it is critical that businesses deploy a mobile-first strategy to maintain success and accomplish growth," said Samsung Electronics Vice President of Enterprise Business Young Kim in a statement. "Samsung and Oracle are not only helping customers through mobility but also enabling developers and solution providers to create next-generation mobile applications and services that are driving a new frontier of productivity."
Samsung and Oracle will focus on helping corporate clients leverage their existing technological systems and shift into the cloud. They will also target enterprise adoption of mobile solutions and promote IT infrastructure upgrades within corporations.
Specifically, their collaboration will expand an existing set of plugins and code samples to help mobile developers enhance their own enterprise apps.
In another statement, Oracle Group Vice President Sri Ramanathan said their partnership combines Oracle's enterprise software and Mobile Cloud services with Samsung's strength in devices — a way to develop cloud-based solutions that operate on Samsung tools.
"With the combination of Oracle Mobile Cloud Service and Samsung's industry-defining device capabilities, we are continuing to advance and simplify enterprise mobility, bringing enterprises to a new level of performance," Ramanathan said.

Rick Jamison's recent guest viewpoint of ("Passing more anti-gun laws will not make us safer," April 10, 2018) was spot on. Knife violence shows that guns aren't the problem as much as an overly permissive liberal society. Blaming anyone with differing opinions and lack of parenting is the problem.
It doesn't take a village; it takes good parenting and respect for others, including respect for conservatives.
Socialism historically results in fewer freedoms, which must be limited for it to succeed. Remember the lie: "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it"? That was just the tip of the iceberg. In order to install socialism, guns must be removed because the majority of citizens won't stand for the government intrusion necessary to install it. After guns it will be freedom of speech.

Memes: What Are They And How Can You Use Them?
Making The Most Of Memes For MarketingThe word meme actually comes from the Greek word 'mimeme', meaning 'imitated thing'. And in case you were wondering, it's pronounced like 'team', not 'mimi.
Provocative biologist Richard Dawkins defined memes as a 'package of culture', saying in his 1976 book 'The Selfish Gene' that memes are used to explain the way in which cultural information spreads. This was obviously a pre-internet definition, referring more to the manner in which regional sayings, fashion and architecture are spread and reproduced. A meme is an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to person, it's a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols and information. Apply this to the internet and the fast-fuelled nature of social media, and open-minded marketers may be smelling a great opportunity.
Memes can be gifs, videos, photos, political propaganda, rage comics made up of four panels or the social media favourite 'macro' meme, which sees a line of text placed above a stock picture with a punchline beneath. Macro memes offer possibilities for some, admittedly gimmicky, advertising and marketing campaigns.
The key to a successful meme, or indeed any viral campaign as we've seen with the Ice Bucket Challenge, is to make sure primarily that it appeals to the masses as this will help sharing. Humour is a great way to achieve this, particularly the slapstick or silly, as people can relate quickly to comedy. They say never work with animals or children, but in this case meme-lovers lap them up. Finally, you should know where to share your meme – meme-friendly sites include Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest and to a lesser extent Facebook.
Here's a few memes in circulation at the moment:
Bad Luck Brian – starts out positively but the punch line ends ironically worse.
Scumbag Steve – the selfish and piggish 'mate'.
There's money to be made in memes – I Can Has Cheezburger? is a weblog predominantly featuring the stars of lolcats and in one year the page can expect to receive over half a billion visits, rivalling the rather more highbrow New York Times. The site is currently valued at around $2 million, which isn't a lot compared to the multi-billion valuations of other social media start-ups but when you bear in mind that the site is just a collection of cat pictures, I think most would be happy with that figure.
Marketing with macro memes can be, and has been, successful. They can make for effective campaigns because you are building on the back of an already popular and recognised internet trend – attaching your personalized brand message to an already trending meme helps your audience to remember and relate to the brand, driving higher reach and more engagement. Virgin Media have used this technique well, using the popular 'Success Kid' meme (mentioned above) on billboard and online materials.
They quickly establish an emotional connection with the audience (assuming that your audience is tech-savvy and aware of social media trends). Memes are funny, and content that evokes emotion is more likely to be shared.
They're already popular. 'Memejacking' is an effective way to infuse your brand into already trending content.
Obviously, all marketing campaigns should be integrated these days so it would be unwise to solely rely on a meme, particularly because of their rude and close-to-the-line potential. However, memes do resonate well with millennials and the tech-savvy, and bring an extra dollop of cultural and symbolic meaning – after all, a meme is a 'package of culture', and that is something that all good marketing campaigns strive to capture. The bottom line is that humour is an effective way for marketers to connect with their audiences and encourage interaction; memes are amusing, they invoke an emotional tie from meme-lovers and this will help drive greater reach on social media and blogs.

Cera-Mix Studio has been making handmade tile for kitchens and baths since the 80's, but we have recently expanded into producing architectural elements. The tile comes in sizes from 1 x 1 inch up to 10 x 10 inches. They can be ordered in all of our basic patterns, pattern levels 1 & 2, the Icon series, or Kids' Faces. We are always creating new and exciting additions. We find that our clients prefer to mix patterns; some use a random mix, some sort by color in limited patterns. Either way, the result is stunning.
The architectural pieces include custom tile mosaic "rugs", sconces, wall murals, baseboard and crown molding, swimming pool tile, and chimney pots. The CasAlegre Project is meant to showcase a wide range of these items like the chimney pots pictured here.
Cera-Mix Studio has done many kitchens and baths, entry ways, fireplace surrounds, hearth "rugs", mosaic applicatons, tile walls in both residential and commercial settings.

My First Hands-On Bible by Tyndale House Publishers
About The Book:
My First Hands-On Bible is the preschooler version of the popular Hands-On Bible, which has sold over a half million copies. Jesus taught with hands-on lessons and illustrations; My First Hands-On Bible uses the same experience-based learning to communicate God's Word in an active, understandable way. My First Hands-On Bible is a fun and simple yet meaningful way to engage preschool, pre-K, and K children (ages 3-6) with the Bible while helping them build a solid faith foundation. Each lesson focuses on a specific Bible point through a variety of activities in order to reinforce and help young children remember the stories and lessons. Using common household items, you can help your children have a "hands-on" learning experience while engaging them in 85 key stories from the Bible. My First Hands-On Bible doesn't just retell the Bible stories; it also includes actual Scripture from the easy-to-understand and easy-to-read Holy Bible, New Living Translation. In addition to the stories and activities, there are fun illustrations, prayers, and a special Jesus Connection feature.
My Thoughts:
This is a great starter Bible for kids! I love how it is arranged and put together, with illustrations and simple language for a kid to understand! I also like that is a hardcover, so it will not easily fall apart, or get ruined. A treasure to keep for a long time. I enjoy reading a story from the Bible each night to my kids, and love seeing when the light bulb goes on for them, and they are "getting it". Very nice.
Buy this book on Amazon!
I received a complimentary review copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hearsay revisited
I have read every book on the subject, I have spoken to academics, Judges, my Mum, I have watched DVD's on the subject, and it is no longer the mystery that it seemed.
One thing I just can't understand though, how did they ever get a hit record?

LMAO I thought that what you was on about. Made me chuckle thank you :)

Swiss, matey, I know it's all a bit of a doss at your course provider, but I am concerned that you seem to have spent all term solely on hearsay. Does the new year see you strecthing your legs and venturing into the rest of the syllabus ?
P.S. Are you doing more of the witness activities in February, at Inner, the discerning students' Inn of choice ?
- 11 December 2008 at 03:12
- Swiss Tony said...
BB, Bit of a Doss? Are you kidding?
We have done all sorts of things besides Hearsay. Finger painting, knitting, making Christmas decorations, trip to the Millenium Wheel, and loads of good educational stuff.
I thought about the Witness thing, but having already done it I feel that i will leave it for others to benefit. I actually think it should be compulsory.

Finger painting, you jammy sod. I know now that I picked the wrong course provider.

Oh no, not hearsay again!

I'm very confused on hearsay. Not because I don't get the concept, I do. But I didn't really get the concept when I came across it in American law last summer. After a few years, and many days of beating myself over the head with the Evidence book I had the 3 non-hearsay exceptions, and the 10 hearsay exceptions (with New York distinctions) down.
This now means I am very confused with UK law because it's just similar enough for the two systems to be floating around my head, bashing into each other and getting me right mixed up. No exception for dying declaration you say? Oh you call it res gestae here?!
I was once told I looked liked Myleene, actually. Can't see it myself.

How appropriate - Hearsay - 'Pure and Simple'!!!!! ( NOT)
Perhaps it will be a good idea to play the aforementioned tune to your bog standard High Court Judge when arguing to admit it!!
- 15 December 2008 at 01:45
- Swiss Tony said...
Fi, Fi, Fi, my words exactly. 'Oh no, not Hearsay again'
Fortunately, the weekend has gone, it has been dealt final good kicking and will hopefully not rear its ugly head again until exam time.
Mel, if you look like Myleene, then I picked the wrong provider. Why couldn't I be in your class? I admit I wouldn't get any work done, but classes would be a pleasure. Not that finger painting and playing in the sand pit are not delightful ways to spend my time, but Myleene.....
LM, I will put it on my ringtone, and if my phone goes off in court and the judgey looks sternly at me I will just say 'Ah but the tune m'lud, sing along with me'
I do love this barrister business, its just so full of fun.

Fret not, your money was well spent- on further tickling of the memory, I think it was more like 'you look like her when you smile'. Or you have the same smile. I.e. toothy. Only a passing resemblance if you close one eye, and squint with the other :P
I have someone in my class who could be a Calvin Klein model (or so he thinks anyway) and insists on wearing fashionably low cut tops all the time. Most off putting - you're well spared, all the more room in your head for s78 and s116 and all that...!

- Lost said...
Which book are you using for Evidence Swizz?
Dennis or Munday seems to be the best at the moment, unless you want to use Cross and Taper - but apparently that a bit hard to get into.
I'm doing evidence as an undergrad, and it is difficult! Garh!

Alright, I find it interesting that the only two people brave enough to post their names were also the only two brave enough to do the Nohari. Points to Crystal and Sheryl! 🙂 I appreciate honesty over trying to be nice.
I've done this before but I didn't do the negative one so I'm curious. (I didn't even know there was a negative one.)
Johari (The stuff you like about me.)
Nohari (The stuff you don't like about me.)
You can go anonymous if you want to be a coward about it. 😉 (Hmm…..I wonder if one of the options is heartless or insensitive…..)
Be honest. Seriously. You aren't going to hurt my feelings and I won't hold it against you. For long. 😀

It's Complicated: Post-Operative Complications
The challenge for clinical documentation improvement specialists is in determining if the condition is an expected outcome of the procedure or patient's disease process, or if it is an actual post-operative complication.

Lawn and garden activities can result in contamination of stormwater through pesticide, soil, and fertilizer runoff. Proper landscape management, however, can effectively reduce water use and contaminant runoff and enhance the aesthetics of a property.
Other products labeled toxic, flammable, or corrosive, or containing lye, phenols, petroleum distillates, or trichlorobenzene. Many products found in homes contain chemical ingredients that are potentially harmful to people and to the environment. Chemicals such as oven cleaners, paint removers, bug killers, solvents, and drain cleaners are just a few common hazardous products in the home. Over the last 20 years, concern about the disposal of such products has been growing. In 1976, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) was passed, regulating the procedures governing the generation, storage, transport, treatment, and disposal of hazardous materials. Although this legislation has mitigated some of the problems associated with commercial hazardous material disposal, more efforts need to be made to reduce and properly dispose of hazardous waste in the home.
Hazardous products include the following:
Disposal of hazardous products used in the home also requires special attention. When use of hazardous household products is unavoidable, hazardous wastes should not be flushed down the drain because these drains lead to either a home septic system or a municipal treatment plant, neither of which has adequate capability to remove hazardous chemicals form wastewater. Toxic chemicals might also disrupt microbial processes in septic tanks and treatment plants, reducing their effectiveness. Some of the toxins can be removed, but a significant portion of these chemicals passes through treatment processes and ultimately contaminates water resources. Hazardous products used in the home should never be poured on the ground, into gutters, or down storm drains where they will eventually enter storm sewers and be transported into nearby water bodies untreated.
When pet waste is not properly disposed of, it can wash into nearby water bodies or can be carried by runoff into storm drains. Since storm drains do not connect to treatment facilities, but rather drain directly into lakes and streams, untreated animal feces can become a significant source of runoff pollution.
As pet waste decays in a water body, it uses up oxygen, sometimes releasing ammonia. Low oxygen levels and ammonia combined with warm temperatures can be detrimental to the health of fish and other aquatic life. Pet waste also contains nutrients that promote weed and algae growth (eutrophication). Eutrophic water becomes cloudy and green, making it unattractive or even prohibitive for swimming and recreation. Pet waste also carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can pose risks to human health and threaten wildlife.
There is plenty of evidence that pets and urban wildlife can be significant bacterial sources. A single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria. Dogs can also be significant hosts of both Giardia and Salmonella. It was also noted in a 1982 study of Baltimore, Maryland catchments that dog feces were the single greatest contributor of fecal coliform and fecal strep bacteria. This evidence points to a need for enforcement and education to raise resident awareness regarding the water quality impacts of this urban pollutant source.
Most people do not think of detergents as a serious environmental hazard. Unfortunately, detergents in our creeks and ponds pose a very real threat to our fish. The detergents by themselves can have poisonous effects to all types of aquatic life if they are present in sufficient quantities, and this includes the biodegradable detergents. All detergents destroy the external mucus layers that protect the fish from bacteria and parasites; plus they can cause severe damage to the gills. Most fish will die when detergent concentrations near 15 parts per million (ppm). Detergents concentrations as low as 5 ppm will kill fish eggs.
Detergents can also add to problems of aquatic life by lowering the surface tension of the water. Organic chemicals such as pesticides and phenols are then much more easily absorbed by the fish. A detergent concentration of only 2 ppm can cause fish to absorb double the amount of chemicals they would normally absorb. As you can see, it doesn't take a lot of detergents to affect the fish.
The county has not established regulatory requirements at this time, however, we are asking for citizens to voluntarily eliminate all outdoor detergent discharges.
Each and every one of us can make a positive difference in reclaiming our neighborhood creeks if we will just make a few changes in our lifestyles. Number one, don't wash cars, boats or RV's at home. The detergent laden water runs down the street, through the storm drain and into a creek. Use a commercial car wash instead. It doesn't matter if it's automated or self serve, the wastewater generated at these facilities is sent to the wastewater treatment plant where it is thoroughly cleaned. Number two, practice dry cleanup methods when cleaning your sidewalks and driveways. Try using a broom instead of a water hose and utilize dry cleanup methods when removing oil stains. There are many new products available at most auto part stores that do not use water.
The development of a prevention program to reduce the impact of car wash runoff includes outreach on management practices to reduce discharges to storm drains. Some of these management practices include:
Automotive maintenance facilities are considered to be stormwater "hotspots" where significant loads of hydrocarbons, trace metals and other pollutants can be produced that can affect the quality of stormwater runoff. Some of the types of waste generated at automobile maintenance facilities and by residents performing their own car maintenance at home include:
Automotive maintenance facilities are highly regulated with respect to discharges to storm and sanitary sewer systems. Fluid spills and improper disposal of materials result in pollutants, heavy metals and toxic materials entering ground and surface water supplies, creating public health and environmental risks. Alteration of practices involving the cleanup and storage of automotive fluids and cleaning of vehicle parts can help reduce the influence of automotive maintenance practices on stormwater runoff and local water supplies.
The automotive repair industry is the leader in number of generators and amount of total waste produced for small quantity generators of hazardous waste in the United States. Common activities at maintenance shops that generate this waste include the cleaning of parts, changing of vehicle fluids, and replacement and repair of equipment. These activities are also performed by residents at home in their driveway in the course of normal vehicle care. In ultra urban areas, the impacts of automotive maintenance practices are more pronounced due to the greater concentrations of vehicles and higher levels of impervious surface.
Waste Reduction – The number of solvents used should be kept to a minimum to make recycling easier and to reduce hazardous waste management cost.
Do all liquid cleaning at a centralized station to ensure solvents and residues stay in one area.
Locate drip pans and draining boards to direct solvents back into solvent sink or holding tank for reuse
Using Safer Alternatives – Use non-hazardous cleaners when possible.
Replace chlorinated organic solvents with non-chlorinated ones like kerosene or mineral spirits.
Recycled products such as engines oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and hydraulic fluid can be purchased if available to support the market of recycled products.
Spill Clean Up – Use as little water as possible to clean spills, leaks, and drips.
Rags should be used to clean small spills, dry absorbent material for larger spills, and a mop for general cleanup. Mop water can be disposed of via the sink or toilet to the sanitary sewer.
Good Housekeeping – Parked vehicles should be monitored closely for leaks and pans placed under any leaks to collect the fluids for proper disposal or recycling.
Promptly transfer used fluids to recycling drums or hazardous waste containers.
Do not pour liquid waste down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain inlets.
Obtain and use drain mats to cover drains in the event of a spill. Store cracked batteries in leak proof secondary containers.
Parts Cleaning – Use detergent based or water based cleaning systems instead of organic solvent degreasers.
Steam cleaning and pressure washing may be used instead of solvent parts cleaning. The wastewater generated from steam cleaning should be discharged to a pretreatment structure.
The presence of pesticides in stormwater runoff has a direct impact on the health of aquatic organisms and can present a threat to humans through contamination of drinking water supplies. The pesticides of greatest concern are insecticides, such as diazinon and chloropyrifos, which even at very low levels can be harmful to aquatic life. A recent study of urban streams by the U.S. Geological Survey found that some of the more commonly used household and garden insecticides occurred at higher frequencies and concentrations in urban streams than in agricultural streams. The study also found that these insecticide concentrations were frequently in excess of US EPA guidelines for protection of aquatic life.
The major sources of pesticides to urban streams are home applications of products designed to kill insects and weeds in the lawn and garden.
Biological control is a component of an integrated pest management strategy. It is defined as the reduction of pest populations by natural enemies and typically involves an active human role. Keep in mind that all insect species are also suppressed by naturally occurring organisms and environmental factors, with no human input. This is frequently referred to as natural control.
The conservation of natural enemies is probably the most important and readily available biological control practice available to growers. Natural enemies occur in all production systems, from the backyard garden to the commercial field. They are adapted to the local environment and to the target pest, and their conservation is generally simple and cost effective. With relatively little effort the activity of these natural enemies can be observed.
Trash and floating debris in waterways have become significant pollutants, especially in areas where a large volume of trash is generated in a concentrated area. Trash in water bodies contributes to visual pollution and detracts from the aesthetic qualities of the landscape. It also poses a threat to wildlife and human health (e.g. choking hazards to wildlife and bacteria to humans).

As the industry leader in providing recycled HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene) materials to leading consumer product industries, we want to provide timely information useful to consumers, manufacturers and legislative stake holders through this blog. Reuse of Post Consumer Resins (PCR) is one of the fastest growing opportunities for slowing down the waste going to our landfills, reducing green house gases and reducing our dependency on foreign oil for virgin plastics production.
In 2008, per the EPA, in the 2008 data tables, Table 7, The US generated 750,000 tons of HDPE for the Municipal Solid Waste Stream. 220,000 tons, 29.3% was recovered through recycling programs before it entered the landfill, but that still leaves 530,000 tons, 70.7% that will sit in the landfill forever.
Through this blog, we plan to address 3 key areas:
- Educate on current issues in PCR
- Provide clarification or additional information on issues related to PCR that may not have been presented accurately or been told the complete story by parties with vested interests
- Introduce benefits of using PCR
Some of the topics we expect to cover in upcoming posts include:
– Recent legislative activities
- North Carolina landfill bottle ban
- California plastic bag ban
- Kentucky, the only state mandating clear and differentiating identification of #2 and #7's
– Why biodegradable and oxydegradeable plastic resins may not be the best option and what they do to the recycling stream today.
– Bioplastics as an alternative fuel source has possibilities, but have all the aspects been researched enough?
– The supply of recyclable plastics has not been fully utilized. A look at mining landfills to get more plastics to recycle and other sources
– What are the export dynamics/opportunities of plastics to other parts of the world?
– Look at Franklin LCI information that compares virgin to PCR – we will explain the cut-off method and loop methods
– Introduce new Envision Plastics product and service offerings here first!
– Provide in-depth information on how some of our clients are utilizing PCR in their products.
Our next blog post topic will be on 3 Reasons Why NC's 2009 Ban on Plastic Bottles to the Landfill is Crucial for Business Success.
We welcome any other topics you wish to see or your comment on our posts.
Need more information? Envision Plastics Vice President of Sales and Purchasing, Tamsin Ettefagh will be happy to discuss your comments or concerns in greater depth. Contact her at 336/342-4749 Ext 225.

"... Despite the strong showing, what's lesser known is how the record AMS previously set was broken the day prior by another GT-R—one that's privately owned.
Hing Yim of Las Vegas, Nevada, owns no tuning shop, race team or any other sort of business related to the automotive industry. What he does own is a black 2009 Nissan GT-R and the heart of an enthusiast. He loves speed and his R35 is his passion embodied in four wheels. But when the factory performance of the V-6 VR38DETT engine wasn't enough, Yim took his car to SP Engineering in Industry, California, to undergo its dramatic transformation. Based just outside of Los Angeles, SP Engineering is a full-service tuning shop infamous for their high-horsepower Supras and Lamborghinis.
At first glance, Yim's GT-R looks understated. With the exception of the Volk TE37SL wheels (18×9 front, 18×11 rear), drag tires (Mickey Thompson front, M&H rear) and stickers, the Nissan looks near stock. One look under hood however and Greddy's influence is everywhere. From what's visible (intake manifold, blow-off valves, intercooler piping) to what's not (sleeves, TD06SH-20G turbos), much of the engine and turbo components have been swapped for Greddy parts. In the drivetrain, stouter PPG and Dodson gears are employed as is a Dodson clutch and OS Giken differential. For suspension, KW Clubsport coilovers replace the factory units. To make everything work, SP Engineering has handled the brunt of the installation and tuning, with Greddy, KW and Motoiq.com lending a helping hand and wrench.
On March 16, 2012, Hing Yim himself staged the car at a Nevada drag strip. With no parachute or roll cage and a whole lot of horsepower and courage, he lit up the tires running an 8.793 @ 167 mph run, besting the then record of 8.975 sec. held by AMS Performance. While Yim's glory was shortlived—a day to be exact—he is still more than elated at his GT-R's performance. After all, bolt back in the passenger seat and some interior carpet and he can cruise the Vegas strip terrorizing sport bikes and super cars alike. But don't think that means Yim doesn't have his eyes set on AMS' record. He's working with SP Engineering on a new setup to change his status from World's Quickest Privately-owned GT-R to just the World's Quickest GT-R."

For many people following the general program on Firegroundfitness.com is sufficient to reach their goals. However, many of you have specific goals you want to achieve. Lets say you want to dabble in endurance sports, you want to run a triathlon, ultra marathon or race a tough mudder. Maybe you want to tackle a power lifting event or you may just have a desire to increase your dead lift. Or you just want to drop a few inches or pounds! In any one of these cases we find that there are limits to the depth and breadth of General Physical Preparedness (GPP). Often GPP can limit the achievement of our goals, it's just too general. Sport specificity is still the gold standard when tackling more narrowly focused objectives.
My job is to guide you down this road. Help you balance the need for sport specificity while maintaining overall health and GPP. I want you to be strong, fast and long suffering, regardless of your chosen sport.
Most of my athletes live far away and we communicate via email, text, telephone, etc. If you have a desire to take your fitness to the next level give me a call, txt or drop me an email. We'll discuss how we can partner to make your goals a reality.
Yours in Strength

Our trip ended in Las Vegas. I wasn't keen to go there (I expected I'd hate it, as I'm neither a drinker nor a gambler), but agreed to it so I could at least say "been there, done that". Well, was I in for a surprise. I LOVED Vegas!! It's a bit drab during the day, at least on the outskirts of the city, but it comes alive at night, and is surprisingly clean. We had only 2 full days there - one was spent travelling to the Grand Canyon by helicopter, and the second was set aside solely for shopping (and boy, was the shopping good!). We had half-days either side, which allowed for lots of walking around, and taking photos, and, oh, did I mention shopping?
The hotels on the Las Vegas strip are incredible. We stayed at the Venetian (not great timing, since 140,000 convention attendees descended on the hotel for a Consumer Electronics Show ... but, as you'll see, we struggled through).
Take a look at the roof of the front entrance to the hotel:

These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things
A little while back, I wrote a post in defense of that which is dismissed as too 'touristy' and therefore shunned. I don't know what's prompting me to do so now, but I've decided to make a brief list outlining examples that support the argument I was making in said post: "...just because something is...

This meant kicking the weekend off with a... Continue Reading →
Let It Snow
Il neige!! Or at least, it did this morning: big, fluffy clumps of white flurrying past the window for a whole three hours or so. It was a beautiful sight from my sixth-floor apartment. I love the view from my windows anyway - the blue-grey rooftops and terracotta chimney pots are about as typically 'Paris'... Continue Reading →

Find a Professional Bereavement Counsellor
Someone left bereaved by the death of someone close to them may feel many emotions, including shock, anger, loneliness, depression and a sense of isolation. Bereavement counselling is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help those who are suffering to learn to cope with their feelings and continue to live their life. Those who have lost a love one often need help and support, and although you need your friends and family with you at this time it is still useful to find a professional bereavement counsellor who can offer support and help from an objective perspective.
A professional bereavement counsellor will help you acknowledge the death and face up to it, allowing you to understand how best to continue with your life despite your grief. Everyone experiences grief in different ways, but if it gets to the stage when your employment, education, or personal relationships are affected then it may be time to find a professional bereavement counsellor.
Wendy Clark works as a spiritual medium and healer, with experience in being able to listen and support those who are suffering from bereavement. Wendy has also written children's books, and has authored the Gary's Guardian Angel series. This series of stories is suitable fodder for children who may be suffering from bereavement.

Let's make that dream body a reality! Our 12 week body challenge will change your life.
Let's make that dream body a reality! Our 12 week body challenge will change your life.
Belly fat, for example, can make you workout for months without shedding them off, which is an unwanted situation as we want to see some results. Although we have stubborn body fat, we can include some daily routines to get rid of them.
Incorporate cardio in your daily routine
Lifting does help to burn calories and fats, but cardio is the master of this game. Cardio elevates your heart rate to the clouds, which means burning a lot of calories. Weight loss is determined by consuming less calories than you spend, so actually cardio is a game changer here. Running, swimming, jogging, and cycling should be in your list.
Alternate lunges and push-ups combo
These combo moves burn a lot of calories because you move multi-joints. Doing 12 pairs of this combo will tone your upper and lower body and help you lose excess weight.
HIIT method
HIIT is the abbreviation of High Intensity Interval Training, and it depends on the method of "active resting" to shed off fats even while resting after the workout. The basic principle is giving your max effort for a short period of time and then actively rest just to take your breath, then repeat again as a cycle. The resting period could be twice the period of maximum effort, which puts your body in the zone of burning fats while resting. HIIT raises your metabolism and helps you keep on burning calories even after the workout.
Have 45 minutes of walking daily
Having this walk as an extra on your usual physical will help you burn those extra fats because your body starts getting in the fat burning zone where taking off the extra calories become easier. Having your walk before your workday and on an empty stomach are very effective in the sense of raising your metabolism too early in the day time.
Incorporate high compound movements
Do not use usual working out splits like Chest day, Back day, and Legs day, but rather, try to work your total body together in a single workout where you include more than one muscle group in a single exercise. Moving more joints means burning more calories, which makes you lose weight in return.
Find your joyful activities and do them
Find a sport that you are really interested in and start practicing it regularly. If you get bored on the treadmill and even running in any landscape for no purpose, then you might think of soccer for example as an alternative. Outdoor activities are always more interesting, like kayaking for example. These activities are considered cardio workouts but with a purpose, which will make you keep doing them and not running away of boredom.
Take the stairs
Whether going to your office, home, shopping mall, or even your friend's home, take the stairs and stop using the elevator. Why skip a chance to lose some extra fats? A simple stair climb can actually help a lot as it burns more calories than normal walking. Hopping on the stairs can be a strong version of climbing the stairs too as it can be considered your cardio routine.
Squat daily
Tone your lower body and burn some extra calories as this exercise is one of the prominent multi-joint exercises that works your core and lower body extensively. Just learn how to execute the motion properly by making your spin straight, face uplift, shoulder blades shrugged, and do not extend your knees in front of your toes. Want to spice it up? Try some jumping squats for extra effort in the jumping move.
Develop your push-ups
Do not just claim that you can't do push-ups and nag about your heavy weight. Build some strength and you will be able to do them regularly. Push ups tone your chest, shoulders, and arms while working your core and legs for stability, so basically it burns a lot of calories. Start with putting your hands on an elevated surface, which eliminates some of the added weight from the upper body and works the same muscles as well. Also you can try knee-pushups, which are much easier than normal push-ups. After that, you can try the normal ones.
Do cardio circuits
Raise your metabolism with this powerful technique where you end one exercise and do the other back to back so that you do not get bored and burn more fats. You can also do them with HIIT method and make the benefit out of everything. You can do cardio exercises with body weight movements like mountain climbers, burpees, jumping squats, kettlebell swings, skaters, alternating lungs and so on. Having this mixture will make your body put the calories on flames!

Iranian scientist explains dinos death
Scientific findings by Iranian scientist Hamed Sanei and other researchers have provided new explanation for the mass extinction of dinosaurs millions of years ago.
The Iranian environmental geochemist and his colleagues at the Geological Survey of Canada, Calgary, have come up with a new theory on the reason behind the largest extinction known to science, ISNA reported on Tuesday.
The epoch event occurred at the Permian geologic period that follows the Carboniferous and extends from 299.0 ± 0.8 to 251.0 ± 0.4 mya (million years ago).
The Permian period ended with the most extensive extinction event recorded in paleontology: the Permian-Triassic extinction event, where 90 percent to 95 percent of marine species became extinct, as well as 70 percent of all land organisms. It is also the only known mass extinction of insects.
On an individual level, perhaps as many as 99.5 percent of separate organisms died as a result of the event.
Dr. Hamed Sanei and other scientists at Calgary found layers of coal ash in rocks from Canada's high Arctic, pointing to the possibility of a massive volcanic eruption as a cause of the extinction of dinosaurs.
The Iranian scientist also said that their discovery is the first direct evidence for coal ash during this extinction.
"These eruptions would have sent significant CO2 gas into the atmosphere causing rapid global warming," says Dr. Steve Grasby, who led the research team.
"There would also be large ash clouds blocking the sun, as well as SO2 gas that would cause acid rain and impact the ozone layer," Grasby added.
The location of the volcanoes, known as the Siberian Traps, is now in northern Russia, centered on the Siberian city of Tura. They cover an area just under two million square kilometers, greater than that of Europe. The ash plumes from the volcanoes traveled to regions now in Canada's arctic, where coal-ash layers were found.
Previously, the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs was attributed in popular belief to the landing of a huge meteorite.
Sanei is a research scientist with Geological Survey of Canada. He received his Ph.D. (2005) in Environmental Geochemistry from the University of Victoria, and is the editor of the International Journal of Coal Geology (Elsevier), and editor of the Energy Exploration & Exploitation.
He has won several awards, including the Natural Resources Canada Earth Sciences Sector Award, and A.R. Cameron Award of the Canadian Society for Coal Science and Organic Petrology (CSCOP).

Curated by Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence, the Quality Matters newsletter collects and briefly summarizes the latest news affecting quality in cardiovascular care from a wide range of sources. Quality Matters is your bi-weekly news brief with a focus on quality assurance and quality improvement in the cardiac cath lab, electrophysiology, and more.
An article from November in Modern Healthcare organizes our thoughts this week, as it becomes harder to achieve recognition as a top cardiovascular hospital. We explore what it takes—like constantly improving (note: ACE quality review and accreditation can help)—and some other news which might help focus quality improvement efforts for peripheral vascular intervention and the TEE examination.
Raising the Stakes: It's Getting Harder to be a Top-tier Heart Hospital - Modern Healthcare
Modern Healthcare's Maria Castellucci takes a look at the latest IBM Watson Health's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals study and notes that the majority of hospitals (27/50) that made the list did not make it last year. Plus, on some metrics, like 30-day readmission rate for heart attack patients, the top hospitals were only marginally more successful than the rest of the peer group. On one level, it shows that hospitals, generally, have improved, making it more difficult to achieve top-tier recognition. However, it also offers valuable insight from the elite hospitals which have managed to maintain top-tier recognition over the years. "The way to get better now is to be students of variation and to study any variation that exists," said Andrea Werner of Bellin Health. Building and sustaining a culture of continuous quality improvement is crucial. Read more »
At Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence, we've proven that we can help organizations build and sustain a culture of continuous quality improvement through our quality-focused accreditation processes. Learn more about how ACE accreditation can help your organization reduce variation and continue to improve.
Appropriate Use Criteria for Peripheral Vascular Intervention - ACC Expert Analysis
Speaking of reducing variation, the first ever AUC for management of patients with peripheral artery disease was released in December in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, but we've continued to hear more from the ACC about these groundbreaking criteria through January. "Ideally, this document will serve as an educational and quality improvement tool for addressing Rarely Appropriate revascularizations either performed or referred by individual clinicians," wrote the authors of the AUC. "Another valuable contribution of the AUC is to reduce variation by balancing over-use and under-use of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," adds Christopher J. White, MD, FACC, in his expert analysis. Read more »
ASE Releases New Guide to Performing the Comprehensive Transthoracic Echocardiographic Examination - ASE Press Release
The American Society of Echocardiography released updated guidelines for performing a comprehensive TEE, complete with over 100 videos to demonstrate various techniques. The guidelines, published in the January issue of the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, are an extremely comprehensive resource for sonographers and students around the world. "The past decade has seen [TTE] use expand into many new clinical areas," said Peter Rahko, MD of the University of Winsconsin Hospital. "To ensure that patients continue to receive the best care, we felt it was essential to rexamine what constitutes a contemporary comprehensive TTE." Carol Mitchell, PhD of the Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health added, "Our hope is that... echo labs will use these new recommendations as a starting point to design comprehensive protocols that best fit the patient populations they serve."

Transfemoral TAVI With Balloon-Expandable Valves Leads to Fewer Strokes - Cardiology Advisor
A study published in December in the European Heart Journal pooled and analyzed data from 10 registries or clinical trials and examined outcomes from transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients treated with balloon-expandable (BE) valves versus patients with self-expandable (SE) valves. "Even though BE-valves and SE-valves are both commonly used on a large scale, adequately sized trials comparing clinical outcomes in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis treated with BE-valves compared with SE-valves are lacking," wrote the authors. Indeed, their large sample of 12,381 was rather evenly split between BE valves (n=6239) and SE valves (n=6142). Outcomes suggest the incidence for stroke was lower in patients who underwent TAVI with BE valves, and patients who received BE valves had a "significantly lower chance for undergoing pacemaker implantation," summarizes Cardiology Advisor. However, researchers found new-generation BE valves were associated with greater major and life-threatening bleedings versus new-gen SE valves, and differences in the 30-day mortality rate between the valve types were not statistically significant.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by AlterEgo, 3 Sep 2019.
As per the thread title - and discuss your reasoning below!
I can't vote.
Urgh I missed off the Brexit Party... how do I change the poll? Edit - done now....whoops.
I have no idea. It wont be Labour, Brexit or Tory.
Why? Too young? Excluded in some way? Not registered?
Same as I have always voted. Not 100% reflective of my personal opinions but which political party ever is?
I'm a few years off voting age still.
Unlucky. you don't get a say but must deal with the consequences!
Difficult for me, Labour has some good ideas ie returning to the Labour ideals of what Labour should be about and away from lite conservative ie New Labour however the fact that the leadership hasn't exactly shown they're ready to lead the country especially over Brexit and the fact that they are unable to rein in the left wing rabble called Momentum leads me to query if my vote should be used in them.
If they rein in the mob above and presented a alternative leadership with a more stable and credible policy that was more left central to what it is then that could get my vote.
The Liberal Democrat's look like they would do anything for a closer relationship with EU including scrapping the Pound and introducing the Euro, they're far too pro Euro for my liking.
Conservatives well generally their policies lead me not to want to vote for them but in the light that there are no Christian Democratic parties in the UK and as Boris does seem to be following though on the results of the referendum to leave the EU, maybe they're the party to vote for unless there's plans to set up a RUK party.....
Right now its difficult to say, there could be two or three parties that I would consider but until they declare candidates & their manifestos (such that they would be in a snap election) it's hard to say. However I will not be voting Conservative, partly because of the way they have handled Brexit, but moreover because the current & likely candidate for my constituency is a prat I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw him.
Dear me. Your view of Corbyn is charitable at best, your view of the lib dems is like some rabid brexit fantasy gone wild and your view of De Piffle is frankly bizarre!
For me it's SNP. If I was voting for what I really wanted it'd be Green, but they've no chance of taking my seat and they may not even field a candidate this time around (they've only done it once for General Elections). The Cons hold the seat at present and historically have (almost) always held second place, so it's a no-brainer for me.
It's a tough one. I've broadly gone Lib Dem in previous elections but I'm a real fan of my current MP (Labour & Coop) as I think she does a good job for the constituency and I think share a reasonable number of her views on issues so would happily vote for her. But whilst Labour is lead by Corbyn? Well it's much harder to justify voting for Labour as we are diametrically opposed on a number of issues. Trident, Defence & Foreign Affairs perhaps being the biggest issues but equally the failure to properly engage with criticism around possibly antisemitism or his past associations with various "problem" groups or his stance on Brexit where he is clearly pro-Brexit. But equally I'm cognisant that I'm supposed to be voting for the person I think best to represent my constituency and interests and that's my current MP regardless of who is leader (and she's no fan of his so that helps).
I'm certainly not voting Tory, Brexit Party or UKIP.
I think it may need to wait until the manifesto for Labour is published. Heck it may even need to wait until the ballot paper is in hand before I decide one way or the other!
Nearly a year off voting age!
Surprised there is no votes on spoiled ballot, given the current state of UK politics...
In a way you are in a better position than me, at the end of the day you are voting for the candidate not the leader, although if often feels like it is a leader popularity contest. If a constituency has a candidate they like, and who has a proven track record of actually representing their constituents then I would encourage people to keep voting for them. Maybe, just maybe one day it will send a message to other MPs (I did say maybe!).
For me its a simple choice, anyone other than our current MP Philip Davies (Shipley Ward), with the exception of the Farage Cult Party who have never been arsed to even send a candidate anywhere near our area.
I'd vote SNP but I live in Milton Keynes no doubt the Tories will win both MK seats again
Well I can't see a Labour government happening under Corbyn, the Liberal Democrats are too far Pro EU for my liking and I've got nothing against the EU indeed I want us to continue working as partners and well the Conservatives for one if Johnson does get us though Brexit then he's been more successful then May was in three years!
Personally I would vote for Merkel if I could but I can't!
While that is correct as @Bald Rick suggests above it absolutely IS, for most, a leadership popularity contents. That is one Corbyn cant win.
They will, because in my view Corbyn is toxic to the kind of middle ground, middle class people who live in MK. We have had Labour MP's in the past under the evil Blair. Labour ( used to be we ) cut the majority massively last time, i suspect, on the back of remain votes. They wont this time.
Agree with almost all of this apart from the potentially voting Labour. I wont until Corbyn is replaced by someone more sensible. I simply do not trust or like the man.
Labour or Labour Coop as I don't trust the Tory Party or the Lib Dems. Bunch of liars and cheats.
I'm going to wait and see who stands in my constituency, first; the incumbent doesn't intend to contest the seat again. And there's also the question of whether parties will be forming political alliances and standing aside for each other (see Farage's promises to Johnson depending on his policy, and the actions of Plaid and the Greens in Brecon and Radnorshire).
I've always voted Labour, but can't do so at the moment with that monumentally non-committal fool in charge. Lib Dem as they're the most pro-remain, but not first choice at all. I won't vote SNP as I disagree with their desire for independence at any cost, and I'd like to vote Green, but they're extremely unlikely to stand in my constituency.
I live in a Tory/Labour extreme marginal where Liberal Democrats are a very poor third.
I would normally vote Libdem, however as this is a marginal and as I'd do anything to get Tory Brexiter Green out, I will tactically vote Labour, even if ultimately that means it costs me when all my pensions and annuities come in and I have to pay significantly more tax.
Think on the poll there should be a "tactically voting* tag!
Agree, it's a tough choice when you live somewhere like that, having to try and choose a marginally less horrible option.
All I want to know, is how do we get Larry the cat on to the list!
I'll wait and see who Labour put up in my seat, but the SNP MP has been good, so I may break the habit of a lifetime and go with them. One unexpected side-effect of Brexit and the rise of English nationalism has been my conversion to independence. Anecdotally, I'm not alone, so well done Conservative & Unionist Party!
and yet Corbyn is such a great guy with absolutely no skeletons in his closet!
I'm not that keen on him, but what is it that anti-corbyn people think he will do if PM that will be SO bad for the country?
Bear in mind that in 2017, the RailUK poll leaned more towards Labour and the Lib Dems than the actual result
Party / RailUK / National result
Cons - 21% / 42%
Labour - 50% / 40%
Lib Dems - 17% / 7%
This is my argument - is JC perfect? No. Will his policies be better for the country than the Tory alternative? Almost certainly yes.
I would be surprised if Change UK/TIG hold any of their seats and even more surprised if they get anyone out to campaign for them.
