Mark Skilton Building the Digital Enterprise extract
05 October 2015
- WBS Academic Mark Skilton releases new book
- Book is titled Building the Digital Enterprise - A guide to constructing monetization models using digital technologies.
- In it Professor Skilton discusses how to build a successful digital business model
- Read a short extract below
How do you build a successful digital business model using digital technologies like social media, mobile, internet of things, big data, cloud computing, machine learning, and Internet of Things?
That is the topic of the latest book from Mark Skilton, Professor of Practice at Warwick Business School, entitled Building the Digital Enterprise - A guide to constructing monetization models using digital technologies.
Professor Skilton said: "The book establishes practical examples of how companies from many industry sectors have used combinations of digital technologies to change their business.
"It draws from real case study experience in major international companies to demonstrate digital business practices in, among other areas, Digital Retail, Digital Financial Services and Digital advanced manufacturing and Engineering.
"This is combined with the latest research in digital monetization methods to demonstrate how these companies can use digital technologies to builds new digital business model value."
In the following extract from his new book from the Palgrave Macmillan international series, Professor Skilton, a Digital Business expert, discusses the new connected economy formed by the ever-advancing wave of technologies now part and parcel of most people's lives:
The pervasive adoption of digital technologies across all industries is a global phenomenon. Materially, the internet economy, which represents online transactional data, may only represent 10% of the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries, but per annum this is growing at between 8% and 10%, far outpacing growth in traditional physical "bricks and mortar" sectors – that is, physical goods and services that are traded off-internet. However, internet transactional data is only part of the wider evolution of how digital technology is being used in all manner of social and business activity today. Technology frequently enables activities in an augmented way, adding more value to, for example, telephone conversations, e-mail, searching for information or completing a document, taking a photograph or listening to music. Between 2015 and 2025 the growth forecast of mobile and data traffic alone, and the rise of the internet of things, is projected to be tenfold.

What is emerging are digital ecosystems that are infusing into the fabric of society and economies that create network effects that are pervasive in the digital economy. Data and online presence through websites – and increasingly mobile devices – has become highly interconnected, forming ecosystems of association and technologies. This interconnected effect has enabled value creation through what some describe as "digital ecosystems" business models. Groups of people, enterprises, and markets are able to meet and trade, share and collaborate through digital technologies that generate new social and business monetization models.
Building the Digital Enterprise - A guide to constructing monetization models using digital technologies is available now.

There are many reasons to volunteer to work at Rummage and many ways to do it. Whether you can commit to being there every week during Rummage season or can only give it a few hours here or there, Rummage needs you. It takes more than 300 volunteers to operate the sale each year. Volunteering is not limited to members of Kenilworth Union Church.
You could help sort and prepare items for sale in late spring and early summer, assist customers at the sale in July, or help tidy up afterwards. Or help set up and tear down the space, provide food for workers and customers, hang signs, deliver yard signs or perform scores of other needed tasks. Whether you have a few hours to give or are ready to take on a major role, Cris Guthrie will find a way for you to help.
The bulk of Rummage work before the sale gets done during regular sorting hours, which start Monday, June 11 and run through the week of the sale. Regular sorting hours are Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. Advance signup is not required; just check in at the Rummage desk at the southwest corner of the church, behind the cloisters, and you'll be put to work.
This year Rummage is making a special push to enable young families to participate in Rummage, with weekly, casual, grab-the-kids-and-come-to Rummage Sorting Parties every Monday night from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. until July 9. (No sorting June 25.) Come join your friends and help whatever department needs additional person-power that week, while munching on pizza and sipping BYO beverages. Crib and toddler care is provided. Rummage Family Night is designed to make volunteering easy for young families allowing them to share in the fun and success of Rummage.
To sign up or to explore possible roles you might take on, contact Cris Guthrie.

Faculty Advisors
An important role of our faculty is to provide mentoring and guidance to each of our students. Upon admission to the program, every strategic communication student is assigned an official faculty advisor. It's common for new strategic communication students to be unsure of their career options, and a faculty advisor can be a great resource for sorting through the possibilities based on a student's talents, skills and personality traits.
A student's faculty advisor is available to answer a multitude of questions, from what it's like to work in a certain area of the industry to what electives will best prepare students for their chosen career path. If a student has interests outside the advisor's area of expertise, he or she can recommend another faculty member to provide guidance.
To contact your faculty advisor, it is suggested students email to set up an appointment. Students unsure of who their faculty advisor is can ask their academic advisor to look up the information in their file.

Cake Love: Guess Who Had This Ridonkulous Rump On Blast?
Guess These Cakes
This lady in red has been on her grind since taking a brief hiatus from the small screen and from the looks of things, she's been keeping her bangin' body in tip top shape in the process.
Unlike some of her former fellow ladies of reality tv, she's used her spotlight wisely to build her brand with everything from clothing, to charity, to calendars and most recently, a line of scented nail polish just in time for Valentine's Day.
Any guesses as to which hard-working banger had these cakes tooted up for the camera? Hit the flip to see if you know your donks….
Former Love & Hip Hop NY reality star Tahiry Jose recently stopped to snap a quick flick of her curvaceous figure while heading out to an event. She took a break from the show this season, but has still been quietly grinding and most recently released a line of scented nail polish that's exclusively available on her website & will hit stores on Valentine's Day.
Did you get it right?

Reproduction of the "Stampede I" is the ink on paper original drawing made by Malgorzata Hadrys.
Limited reproduction you can buy online directly from the artist at BeArte Gallery. Reproduction is a print on canvas.
Malgorzata draws beautiful lines that interwind together and create a beautiful and detailed image. Every artwork of hers has intensity and excitement. Ink and paper is a perfect tandem that shows the contrast between black and white.
Malgorzata loves to create smooth silhouettes of horses, as the 'horse' is a universal symbol of freedom without restraint. It is also a symbol of power and emblem of life-force.
The "Stampede I" is a fantastic print with black on the white background and reflects Malgorzata's great talent.
A wonderful suggestion for anyone who loves black and white motifs and explosive lines. At BeArte Gallery you buy reproductions as well as originals.
Due to the differences in screen quality, the colors in the images may vary slightly compared to the originals.

You have to have a lot of content online when it comes to successful article marketing. Step two is ensuring people actually read what you've written and trust the content. As you become more well-known, you will get more visitors to your site. One of the best ways to do this is to have as many unique articles out there as possible.
You should use "no follow" links if you want users to leave comments on your page. This ensures spammers don't get backlinks from your site. This will keep the search engines from thinking your website is spam because it has links to spam sites on it and decreases its reputation.
You should ask your readers for feedback at the end of your emails. Most consumers enjoy giving input to a business. When you allow feedback, you can see what they are thinking. Not only are you able to please them, but their ideas can improve your marketing and suit your readers better.
An effective way in promoting your status in the industry is to enhance your online business with a blog. Post content from the heart that showcases your leadership abilities, as well as your humor and integrity. Perceptive discussions regarding your industry's latest developments can enhance your company's reputation and increase your trustworthiness among potential buyers.
Make your paragraphs short, like this tip. There have been some evidence that indicates that distraction levels are higher for online readers versus paper readers. So, make both the article and each paragraph as short and concise as possible.
Avoid the urge to rampantly submit the same article to all of the indexes on the web. You can take advantage of a great number of article indexes with an approach in article promotion. It's very tempting to post the same article over many indexes. Avoid doing this since search engines can discount your rankings.
Look into outsourcing. If time is an issue or you do not think you are skilled enough to write your own articles, consider hiring writers to generate content. Although this may seem like an expense now, eventually it will prove to be very helpful in terms of generating traffic and saving you time.
To be a successful article marketer, your writing must be unique. Good article advertising efforts will be educational but engaging and will not alienate or condescend to everyday readers. Good writers make their personalities clear with their writing style.
Endeavor to write something new, even if the topic has been covered hundreds of times. Remaining innovative will allow you to market your business better. There is constant upgrading of the filters that are on the look out for duplicate content, so it's important to keep your material original and fresh.
You need to have a large audience to find success in article submission. However, that doesn't mean you need to write articles for everyone. It's better to have a thousand interested customers read your article than a million people who aren't interested. One of the worst things you can do is neglect the wants and needs of your target readers.
Many unique articles will help make you more believable to the public, and article directories will direct people to your site. Mistakes must be avoided if money is to be made, and sound marketing is critical. Having unique content is a wonderful way to jump start the progress of your Internet success.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
As a first time Dad of a now-17 month old, we're getting to the point in our house where we lean on things we probably wouldn't lean on otherwise to entertain him; for us it's the 2016 Disney film Moana, which he could sit and watch for a few minutes at a time so we could catch our breath. But I do want to try and branch him out to other animated children's films that we could both watch and I can write about at the same time, and that's how Ferdinand entered our lives.
Based on the 1936 book "The Story of Ferdinand" and directed by Carlos Saldanha (Ice Age), Ferdinand is a ginormous bull (voiced by WWE wrestler John Cena) in Spain who doesn't prefer the usual bull traits, like snorting and chasing red things. He finds himself on a farm with a father and daughter, but finds himself taken away to another farm in preparation for bullfighting, despite his avoidance for it. Along with his farm friends Valiente (Bobby Cannavale, I, Tonya), Angus (former Doctor Who David Tennant), Guapo (former NFLer Peyton Manning) and a goat named Lupe (current SNL starlet Kate McKinnon), Ferdinand tries to find a way to get out of the bullfights in the city and return home.
I'm going to try and avoid comparisons to Moana as much as possible, but if you've had a toddler and had him in front of a movie or television show, you know that that oversaturation can't help but permeate into your subconscious somehow. But where that film carves out its own mythos and the characters followed it well to the point where it drew you in. On the other hand, Ferdinand takes a story about this bull in Spain and seems to Americanize it a bit for the worse, by throwing in a lot of colloquialism and song which would seem to be intended to entertain, but all it does is distract. In a strange way the story keeps its roots in Spain but pays a little bit of lip service to it with an occasional Spanish supporting character until you get to the city (Madrid in this case), where it's not really much of a backdrop until they get to the bullfighting arena. The Spanish nods feel half-hearted.
This is disappointing, because the work of the cast on the vocals is funny and well-efforted; Cena, McKinnon and Cannavale are good, and Manning turns out to be a minor revelation in his role. But the core story of Ferdinand feels more conventional, nay, American, and could have been suited for that venue and adapted more appropriately. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature, Ferdinand lost out to Pixar's Coco for the statue. Having not seen Coco but knowing Pixar's work as I'm sure we all do, it's probably not hard to suggest that they felt more comfortable in their Spanish skin then Ferdinand appears to be.
Don't get me wrong, Ferdinand has some entertaining moments, but those moments are what the production gears up to; the stuff in between has multiple deficiencies that distract from the overall experience of the film. Sure for me, Ferdinand may not be anything resembling a Moana, but it doesn't do much leg work to make its own voice heard and believable.
Fox gives the exclusively computer-animated film an AVC encode to go with its 2.40:1 high-definition presentation and the results are beautiful. The multidimensional look of some of the shots is quite look, with background images looking blurry in the distance by design. The colors are lush and are not oversaturated, and darker colors and black levels are deep and inky during viewing with no fluctuation. It's a gorgeous looking movie.
The DTS-HD 7.1 audio track is a powerhouse, starting with the early moment where Ferdinand is mistaken for a big bad bull, and in later moments around a train station (where the low-end powers the sound of an incoming train) or during the bullfight (where crowd noise is both immersive and occasional individual noises are discernible). Dialogue is consistent during the film and the film has a bunch of music that all sounds dynamic and includes channel panning and good range to boot. A technical winner by Fox.
The disc is a mix of character and production centric content, starting with "Ferdinand's Guide to Healthy Living" (3:09) where Cena talks about what makes the bull happy, "A Goat's Guide to Life" (3:08) is the same feature, told through McKinnon's character perspective, and "Ferdinand's Team Supreme" (3:45) looks at those on the farm. "Spain Through Ferdinand's Eyes" (1:50) is an in-character piece on the country, while "Confessions of a Bull-loving Horse" (3:22) looks at the horses on the farm.
The production side of the extras starts with "Creating the World of Ferdinand" (5:49), a look at the visual style and intent for the feature. "Anatomy of a Scene" looks at the bull run through the city (4:03), while "Learn to Dance with Ferdinand" (7:46) are the human interpretations of the animated characters' moves. "Ferdinand's Do-It-Yourself Garden" (6:36) is a look at a garden kids can do, and a music video by Nick Jonas (3:14) and making-of the song and video (3:51) follow. A stills gallery and trailer (2:26) complete things.
Maybe my kid already has a discerning cinematic palette which both surprises and amazes me, because neither of us enjoyed Ferdinand that much because it wasn't really much of a fun experience from start to finish. Don't get me wrong, the film looks and sounds great, and the extras try their best to supplement the feature, but if the feature is lacking like this one is, it's not really worth it. But if you liked it in the theater, the Blu-ray experience is up to snuff and worth checking out.

It would appear that British director, Ben Wheatly will be directing an episode of the upcoming 8th series of Doctor Who.
Empire magazine retweeted earlier today:
"Exterminate List… Just overheard in the office: Ben Wheatley to direct upcoming episode of Dr. Who."
Wheatly is best known for his critically-acclaimed films 'Down Terrace,' 'Kill List,' 'Sightseers,' and this year's 'A Field in England.' He has been a Whovian for years and said in an interview with Uncut that he found the era of Tom Baker to be particularly creepy:
"All the Doctor Who stuff is really scary around that period. I've been re-watching a lot of the Tom Baker stuff with my son, and it's so spooky. They're actually shooting on location in nuclear power stations, running around inside these reactors… I'm ready to be proved wrong by legions of Whovians, but it certainly looks like it to me, it looks dangerous wherever they are. I was watching Genesis Of The Daleks this morning. It's so moody!"
Could his episode possibly include the Daleks? We'll have to wait and see!

I read a lot of blogs. My husband laughs at me some times because I frequently start sentences with "So, I was reading this blog today and…" (I end the sentence by telling him about something shocking, interesting and/or thought provoking I read).
This is the second blog I've started. I did the first for several years but had a baby, lost a password, and it just faded. Starting this blog has energized me and I find myself thinking about what makes a blog compelling, something that someone would want to bookmark and follow. For me, strong writing is the biggest pull but beyond that, I think good blogs draw you in to the writer's life and give you a chance to see how someone else lives, which can be fascinating.
Part of what can also draw me into a blog is pictures: seeing the writer and their life, their kids, their day to day selves. I thought about this and thought I should put a picture of myself up. This turned out to be considerably easier to think about than to do.
I asked my husband to take a picture of me last night as I got ready to go for my bike ride (6.25 miles- longest one yet!). He took one, showed it to me and I instantly made a snarky comment about myself. He protested and gently chided me to be nice.
I thought about the picture the whole bike ride, about whether I'd post it, about whether or not I could learn Photoshop and airbrushing by tonight, about maybe posting it with a joke about it being a "before" picture.
I hate most pictures of myself and I've thought of myself as fat for, oh, about 22 years (I'm 30). Sometimes I have been objectively right in that opinion, other times objectively wrong, as I can see now in old pictures.
I grew up believing I was a chubby baby. A "butterball" my mom used to say. A part of me has long believed that I've always been just too big. I look a pictures now and I don't see that. This was me as a toddler:
Adding to my life long perception of being too big, I have a twin sister. For most of our childhood, she was thin as could be. I've always been more muscular. I had to deal with getting boobs in the fourth grade, she had to deal with not getting them until well into high school. She was teased mercilessly sometimes for being so skinny. I was jealous.
I really, really thought I was fat in high school (how not at all cliche- a high school girl who hated her body) despite the fact that I was on the swim team, worked out all the time and weighed about 140 pounds (I'm 5'9).
I did a lot of the things that people do when they hate their bodies. I dieted, I counted calories, I obsessed. I did some things that not everyone does: I binged, I purged, I got really sick, I got therapy, I got better.
My weight? Went up and down. Mostly up.
When my husband and I met, I was freshly back from living in South Korea, just learning to be okay with myself after about 5 years of weekly therapy with a great counselor. We fell in love quickly and were married about 13 months after we met. I was and am the happiest I have ever been since we've been together. I feel loved by him and, most days, I like myself now too (Feel free to visualize me singing "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston).
I've been happy. I've gained weight. Probably about 50 pounds since my husband and I met. I have everything I've ever really wanted: a fantastic husband, a baby that is a delight, a good job. I kind of figured that once I got myself in mentally good shape (hence the therapy) and stopped hating my own guts, the weight stuff would take care of itself. It didn't.
We have lots of great pictures from our wedding and then…I kind of disappear. We have pictures from various races my husband has done and pictures of my step-sons and my friends' kids, but none of me. There are about 10 pictures of my from when I was pregnant and about 10 pictures of me with my son. My son is 14 months old. We have hundreds of pictures with him. 10 pictures with me, none are framed, none hang in the house or my office. When I think about that, it makes me want to cry.
As I rode my bike last night I thought about how much I am going to and already do regret this photographic disappearance. Someday my son is going to look at pictures from his life and wonder where I was. Maybe I will wonder the same, all because I couldn't stand to look at myself.
I'm going to post the picture of me and my bike. This is what I look like now and this is the body that I have, a body that has carried a baby and swims and rides and is learning to run.

text: My husband's put on a bit of weight over the past couple months, and has been dealing with back pain of late. He suspects it's related to his new bigger body. I'm curious if any of the gentlemen here have had a similar problem, and how you were able to take care of it? Any kind of exercise, pills, cold compress, or support garment suggestions are welcome! I know they make nice supportive wraps/braces for pregnant women to help with back pain, but I'm hesitant to suggest this to my guy for obvious reasons. I'm thrilled with his new look but it's more important to both of us that he feels comfortable. And since he has been very anxious about his body as long as I've known him, I want to make sure he feels good in his own skin, no matter his weight.

The first people within the area called Red Deer, were the aboriginal tribes, including Plains Cree, Blackfoot, and Stoney. Through the late 18th century, European fur traders began to pass through the area. One of these first settlers, Reverend Leonard Gaetz, purchased and after that gave half of his 1,240 acres to the Calgary and Edmonton Railway to be able to develop a bridge over the river and town site. As a result, the very first train from Calgary to Edmonton went through Red Deer during the year 1891. Red Deer was incorporated as a town in 1901, and it developed mostly its agricultural service and distribution centre. It became more developed during the year 1907, when it was selected as the divisional point for the Canadian Pacific Railway...

2015 Ch. Batailley, Pauillac
Red | For laying down | Chateau Batailley | Code: 38052 | 2015 | France > Bordeaux > Pauillac | Cab.Sauvignon Blend | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 13.5 % alcohol
The toasty, ripe plum and cedar nose is extremely welcome and is followed by the freshness which has become a hallmark of the 2015 vintage. The purity of fruit is beguiling, with grippy acidity and tannins.
There is some sweetness, but it is allied to a purity which works very well indeed. This is a great example of Claret and Pauillac. It is also excellent value, and a wine which we have no hesitation in recommending again this year. Another very enjoyable wine from this estate.
Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot
Eligible for storage in our Bonded Warehouses, terms and conditions apply. See Further Details
Scores and Reviews
The Wine Advocate
Tim Atkin
The Wine Advocate - The 2015 Batailley is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot cropped at 48 hl/ha picked between 17-30 September. Matured in around 55-60% new oak, it has a very focused, intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and mineral notes, perhaps a little Margaux-like in style as those violets blossom with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, a touch of white pepper here lending edginess, gradually building to a very composed and structured finish. This is an excellent Batailley, meliorated by the introduction of a second wine, that continues the upswing in quality over the last six or seven years. I would not be surprised if this settles at the top of my banded score once in bottle.
Neal Martin - 28/04/2016
Jancis - Very dark crimson. Attractive fresh minerality. Many steps up from Lions de Batailley. Racy and quite muscular. Not very intense but well balanced and with sufficient energy.
Drink 2024-2038
Jancis Robinson - jancisrobinson.com - Apr 2016
Suckling - Wow. The shows a new level of excellence with mint, mineral and currant character. Full body, super fine tannins and a savory finish. New definition here. Precision. New second wine from this estate moved up the quality.
James Suckling - jamessuckling.com
Decanter - Good broad fruit and depth of flavour from old vines. Always forward at this stage, but it gains in barrel and ages very well.

The Producer
The name Batailley boasts a long and proud history. The vineyard sits on a plateau to the west of Mouton Rothschild and is planted in the classic Pauillac wine appellation proportions with Cabernet Sauvignon the dominant varietal. The name is said to derive from a "bataille" fought 600 years ago between the French and the English on the same spot as the present property.
Château Batailley is owned by Denise and Emile Castèja of the famous negociants, Borie-Manoux and it is their son Philippe who now runs the business. The 55 hectares of vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 3%, Petit Verdot 2%) undulate on a deep gravel bed, underpinned by a clay & limestone subsoil.
Vinification is fairly standard, with hand-harvested grapes fully de-stemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place partly in tank, partly in barrel, and the wine is then aged in 225-litre barriques, 60% new, for about 16 months before bottling,
For years Batailley enjoyed a reputation as a solid, reliable , well-priced Pauillac, well –liked by the British, but rarely achieving the heights of finesse and complexity of some of the other Pauillac classed Growths. Over the last 15 years or so ,however, there appears to have been a subtle change and we have noted a much greater emphasis on the quality of the fruit. The result has been wines of decidedly more finesse, but still true to their Pauillac roots.
Château Batailley is classified as a 5ème Cru Classé and is one of the best value wines in Pauillac.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
The Region
Pauillac is the aristocrat of the Médoc boasting boasting 75 percent of the region's First Growths and with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of Pauillac's production.
For a small town, surrounded by so many familiar and regal names, Pauillac imparts a slightly seedy impression. There are no grand hotels or restaurants – with the honourable exception of the establishments owned by Jean-Michel Cazes – rather a small port and yacht harbour, and a dominant petrochemical plant.
Yet outside the town, , there is arguably the greatest concentration of fabulous vineyards throughout all Bordeaux, including three of the five First Growths. Bordering St Estèphe to the north and St Julien to the south, Pauillac has fine, deep gravel soils with important iron and marl deposits, and a subtle, softly-rolling landscape, cut by a series of small streams running into the Gironde. The vineyards are located on two gravel-rich plateaux, one to the northwest of the town of Pauillac and the other to the south, with the vines reaching a greater depth than anywhere else in the Médoc.
Pauillac's first growths each have their own unique characteristics; Lafite Rothschild, tucked in the northern part of Pauillac on the St Estèphe border, produces Pauillac's most aromatically complex and subtly-flavoured wine. Mouton Rothschild's vineyards lie on a well-drained gravel ridge and - with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon - can produce (in its best years) Pauillac's most decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
Latour, arguably Bordeaux's most consistent First Growth, is located in southern Pauillac next to St Julien. Its soil is gravel-rich with superb drainage, and Latour's vines penetrate as far as five metres into the soil. It produces perhaps the most long-lived wines of the Médoc.

First I need to say a BIG thank you to the #PSL for getting me through the last couple of weeks. I am in a "Fall Frenzy" trying to get so many things done right now. We have a lot of painting we want to do in our home and I really want it done like yesterday. With kids it takes so long to do anything and so I have been trying to pace myself.
This boy is as sweet as pie. He is my whole day. Potty training is going good but I feel like each time I am about to do something he is telling me its potty time. With Miss Charlie in school until 3pm I have so much of this thing called "time" but I really don't the day flies by.
Then there is the cutest pup in the world and when my sweet boy doesn't need to go potty. Java needs to go outside. So things have not been getting done on my timeline and I learning to let go and live in the moment.
We are all busy and have our "things" but I think it important to look at what keeps us busy and reflect if that is our best time spent. As I run around my house excited to improve, paint, and decorate I am also aware that spending time with my family is far more important then what color the walls are.
What is keeping you busy these days? Are you in a "fall frenzy" like me thinking you have to get so much completed before winter approaches? Are you spending time with the people you need to be spending time with? I hate to say this but as the holidays approach we are all about to get much busier. Now is the time to spend time together. Make a little time for the people you love this week!

OCEANSIDE — Attendees at Monday's Planning Commission meeting were captivated and excited over a proposed indoor skydiving facility. However, a sizable group of residents said the facility is planned for the wrong site.
iFLY is proposed to be built on Vista Way near a hotel, three-story commercial building, El Camino Country Club golf course and neighboring homes. Both golf course management and neighboring homeowners said the business is not a good fit for the area.
Residents expressed concern about possible business noise and traffic, which studies found not to be issues.
Neighbors were also alarmed by the visual impact of the modern, 59-foot-tall, blue building.
"I'm sure it will be a success," Oceanside resident Joan Gillette, said. "My grandson would like doing this. The lot is not in the right location."
The facility would be built at the foot of a private road that leads to 63 homes. Nearby 61 more home would also be impacted. Neighbors collected 55 signatures in objection to the business.
"I have nothing against kids, education and physics," Burt Cross said, speaking for El Camino Villas Homeowner Association. "It's in the gateway to our residential communities. It's a great facility, but not for this location."
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the project with recommendations that perimeter trees be planted, and the exterior color be toned down to soften the impact of the building.
"The color of the building is really a deal breaker," Commissioner Curtis Busk said. "It's not in conformance with architecture of the area."
Owner Robert Blomsness, a Navy veteran, said he wants to be a good neighbor, and is happy to comply with a softer building color and planting more trees.
Blomsness said the iFLY franchise would be built with the latest technology, and is designed to be close to a residential area.
Inside the 5,000-square-foot building, fans in two wind-tunnels circulate air to a high velocity. This creates a cushion of air in which the force of gravity equals the force of drag and people can fly.
The facility would provide fun adventure for families, science learning for kids and freefall training for military.
"It's totally designed for tourism," Blomsness said. "Families with kids can all fly at once. Everybody walks out with a smile."
There are presently 50 iFLY facilities in the world, and 35 in the United States, with the closest one located in San Diego.
Homeowners who objected to the business said they would appeal the commission's decision, which would call for the City Council to review the project before it moves forward.
If approved the facility could break ground in six weeks and be open by the end of the year. It's anticipated the business would make $5 million annually.

Facial masks are a great addition to any skin care program. These facial masks can help to do many things such as purify skin, and refine pores, etc. Today would like to tell you about Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Mask. Have been using this product for a week now.
Regardless of your skin issue this is a great mask. One of my skin issues is having an oily t-zone. With this mask it helps to purify & balance your skin at the same time. If any of you have acne this would be perfect for you. Below I will share with you what Adovia says about the product & some of it's ingredients.
*** Ingredients in this all natural mud mask include but are not limited to the following:
•Dead Sea Mud
•Bee's Wax
•Evening Primrose
•Various Olive Oils
•Aloe Vera
•Vitamins A and C
While this works to effectively reduce the appearance of aging and to treat acne, it will never leave the skin feeling or looking dry thanks to the first few ingredients in the above list. Ingredients such as the various oils, Jojoba, and Evening Primrose leave the skin feeling soft to the touch.
Aloe Vera is a completely natural and healing skin agent that both heals and soothes. Chamomile is a completely natural and effective anti-inflammatory agent perfect for inflamed acne breakouts. Vitamins A and C refresh the skin and improve overall skin health.
Think all of the above sounds great, but let me share with you how I use it. Before applying any mask I start with clean dry skin. My next step is to take a wash cloth, wet it, ring it out, and microwave it for a minute. Put the wash cloth on your face, and allow it to open your pores. With the use of paint brush apply the mask in a thin even layer. Allow to dry for 15 to 30 minutes. While the mask dries you will feel a slight tightening of the skin. That is the mask removing impurities from your skin, and refining your pores. Next rinse off the mask with warm water. Follow up with a toner & a moisturizer, and your done.
My brothers, and I have been using this mask for a week now. On my skin my pores do seem smaller, and my t-zone is not as noticeable. What I like best about this mask is it's not drying or harsh on the skin. Have used many masks that over dry my skin, but not Adovia's.
Thanks to both Adovia & BrandBacker for allowing me to try this product. I did receive this product complimentary in exchange for an honest, and fair review. The thoughts in this blog are my own. Once again thank you for stopping by, and stay blessed.

Quilt covers protect your quilt as well as beautify your bedroom. There are many benefits of using a quilt cover and are often an easy and convenient way of keeping the bedding area clean. While most quilt covers come in just a single colour, others consist of very creative designs and filled with a lot of different colours.
Most people searching for the best quilt cover sets do not know what they should be looking for because not all quilt covers are the same. Hence, it is not an easy task. Here are some things that you can consider while making your purchase:
Today, you will see a lot of quilt covers that come in several varying shapes and colors. It is up to you to choose which one would look the best on your bed. The prices of the quilt covers are based on the designs. While a majority of the covers feature a single piece of fabric work, you can also find covers that are made of different fabrics patched together.
If you are not looking to spend much money, you can choose a simple design. If you have money to spare, you can go for a complicated and good-looking design.
Apart from the design, the material is another factor that you should consider because it affects the pricing of the quilt cover. Mostly, common materials like synthetic materials, cotton, cotton blends, flannel, silk, etc. are used to make quilt covers. You should know about the qualities of each material before you can make a purchase.
Most commonly, cotton is used to make quilt covers. After that comes cotton blends. When it comes down to the pricing of the covers, cotton covers are inexpensive and light-weight. But, if you are looking for some additional features like warmth, you can go for woolen of flannel covers. If you want to raise the bar of sophistication and elegance, silk and satin covers are great choices.
Thread Count
In short, the thread count is the number of threads woven vertically (warps) and horizontally (weft) into the fabric's per square inch. The extra threads that are being woven of the weft threads simply increase the thread count. These extra threads are called picks and are added to the overall count. But this does not mean that a high count of thread means better quality.
On an average, most weavers can weave 500 to 600 threads in one square inch of the fabric. A high thread count can also mean that the cover might trap more heat than allowing the air to flow more freely. Hence, you should choose for a minimum of 200 thread counts when you are shopping for a decent quilt cover.
While you might be looking for the most expensive quilt cover that is fitted with diamonds and gold, you won't care about it at all when it comes down to the cleaning and maintenance part of the job. Yes, if you want your quilt cover to last for a long time, you will need to take care of it properly. This includes washing on a regular basis, dry cleaning it, folding and storing it, etc.
If you are a person who is very easy-going in nature, you should go for something that is easy to maintain. Highly priced quilt covers come with a lot of different features that require several maintenance steps like dry cleaning, then cleaning by hand, then drying under the sun, etc. However, most simple quilt covers are very easy to clean, store and maintain.
The price is the ultimate factor that you should keep in your mind. From the above, we learned that simple quilt covers are priced very nominally while the ones with great designs and materials are expensive. Hence, you should always consider the purpose of your purchase.
If you live in a hot climate, you should go for cotton quilt covers that come cheap. On the other hand, if you live in a cold environment, you should go for a quilt cover that has a high thread count, which is expensive. Your price limit depends entirely on your situation.
If you follow the above tips, you will be able to buy best quilt covers for yourself that is worth the amount of money you spent on it. A quilt cover is an essential bedroom requirement and you should always strive to purchase nothing but the best!

This is based on the view of the body described in I Corinthians 12. Paul informs us that every member of the body is important. The body will not function properly unless all body parts are healthy and active. None are ignored. None are more important than others. In order for the body to do what it is supposed to do, every part must be up and running.
For this to occur the body as a whole has to trust the lead of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit not only bestows spiritual gifts, but also leads believers into using these gifts. The body must respond to the Spirit's leading by encouraging everyone to use their own gifts actively for the building up of the entire body. Everybody matters.
One place many churches (regardless of form) fail is in encouraging everyone to be active. It's easy to simply let some folks sort of sit quietly in the background and not do much. If this happens the body will suffer - possibly in ways it hasn't really considered. Since I Cor. 12 is true, then everybody needs everybody. We the church must get the message out that every believer has the responsibility to be active. Let's not guilt one another in this, but instead encourage each other. Ironically, this means we will be encouraging each other to encourage each other.
The church is stunted when a small number of people do most of the ministry. That model makes for a sick body, where some parts are overworked and others are undeveloped. Much healthier is a body where every part is in shape from regular exercise. Let's all do our part by using our gifts to serve and encouraging others to do so.

Hi, Fellow Community Members!
May is Stroke Awareness Month. Many of us have had an experience with someone we know that had a stroke. As a senior care provider in Bradenton Florida, we have seen the affects of strokes on stroke victims and their families. There is always a loss of abilities for stroke survivors and the impacts will differ from person to person. This may lead to stress and frustration as they realize the significant changes to their routine, goals not realized that may now seem unattainable, and hobbies that have to at least be temporarily postponed.
Below are some helpful things for a caregiver of a stroke survivor to know and do to aid in the stroke recovery care. Much of this information came from an article from the Stroke Association that struck a chord with us titled "15 Things Caregivers Should Know After a Loved One Has Had a Stroke".
Know the medications that have been prescribed and any side effects. Do not hesitate to ask questions or request written information from medical personnel regarding the medications.
Consider modifications to the home to make it safer. Please see some of our tips. We often recommend many of these modifications to our senior home care clients. http://www.homehelpershomecare.com/blog/2015/06/renovating-a-home-for-aging-in-place
Stay the course on the treatment regimen that has been prescribed. Diet, exercise, and prescribed medications will reduce the risk of the stroke happening again.
The impacts of a stroke differ from person to person. Avoid comparisons to other stroke survivors and their recovery.
Stroke recovery may happen quickly in a little as 3 months or may continue as long as 2 years after the stroke.
Don't ignore signs that indicate therapy may be necessary even if they result in no injury at all. Get help from a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist when the following conditions happen: Dizziness, Imbalance resulting in falls, Difficulty in walking or moving around, Inability to walk more than 6 minutes without stopping to rest, Inability to do activities he/she enjoys or the increased need for help in daily activities, Falls occur more than two times in six months.
Measure progress. There should be gains every week.
An improvement or decline in abilities may trigger eligibility for additional services.
Report any changes in attitude and behavior before those changes hinder recovery.
Maintain support connections such as local support groups for stroke survivors and caregivers. A case manager, social worker, or discharge planner can help you locate local resources.
Understand the stroke survivor's health insurance coverage. Understand the rehabilitation services that are available, the duration services will be provided, and the out of pocket costs that can be expected.
Enlist the help of stroke survivor's physician if rehabilitation services are denied. He/she may need to provide documentation to the insurance company.
Know your rights in terms of access to your loved ones medical records. If you are not a family member, you can assist the family by encouraging them to get copies of medical and rehabilitation records, including written notes and brain imaging films.
Be careful about sharing health information. HIPAA is to be followed by caregivers.
Take care of yourself and avoid caregiver burnout.
Remember that as a caregiver, you can truly make a difference in your client's life and the process of their stroke recovery. As a result of your work, your client's life may return to a new normal, a life to be enjoyed with family, and a life where he/she can return to doing many of the hobbies he/she loves.
Yours truly,
Jonathan Marsh

A delightful Pictoral "Virtual Trip" through the 2010 New Delhi Auto Expo, courtesy DriveInside.Com.. and oh yes, Happy New Year..!!
This is my first post after a year's break from blogging, and boy it does feel awkward.. it is like I am back in a familiar town after spending sometime elsewhere.. I feel a little out of place back in the old town. Maybe things/nerves should settle down after a few days/posts.
Ok so its 2010 now.. exactly 2 years after the the Racy Yamaha R15 and the muscular FZ16 were first unveiled at the 2008 Auto Expo. Therefore it was but natural for any passionate biker worth his riding gloves to be expecting something even more exciting at the 2010 Auto Expo.
Sadly for bikers, the 2010 Auto Expo has so far turned out to be a damp squib..
Sadly for bikers, the 2010 Auto Expo has so far turned out to be a damp squib. Yes, I know that 12 Harley Davidson models have been unveiled there, but then for a middle class "Biker next door" like me, these exotic beauties are as good as a "Vertu" mobile phone.
I had decided to give this year's Auto Expo a miss, I am therefore dependent (for the 2010 AutoExpo updates) on other passionate auto enthusiasts who have visited the Auto Expo, shot photos and uploaded them on photosharing sites. Today, I happened to stumble upon an excellent colleciton of photos shot at the Auto Expo and uploaded at Flickr.Com. It has been shot and uploaded by guys from the site "www.driveinside.com".
Good quality photos have been arranged in a thoughtful slideshow format, which will take you into a "Virtual Tour" inside "Pragati Maidan", the venue of the 2010 Auto Expo. Right from the entrance of the venue, the Pavilions, the models (2/4 wheeled and also the 2 legged kind) and even the outdoors of the venue has been delightfully shot and presented.
Just click at the following link for a "Virtual Trip" to the 2010 New Delhi Auto Expo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/driveinside/sets/72157622995030575/show/
Great job you "DriveIndia.com" guys.
P.S: Over the next couple of days days, I'll try my best to collect more info and photos on 2 wheelers shown at the 2010 Auto Expo.

"Throughout the 35 years we've been fighting AIDS, we've learned that access to medicine and health care isn't enough. Even when science unambiguously shows the way, we have needed legal advocacy to protect the health of our community."
BOSTON (PRWEB) January 10, 2019
One of the country's largest insurance providers has agreed to stop denying all forms of insurance, including life and long-term care insurance, to Massachusetts residents using the HIV prevention medication Truvada for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Following an investigation by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office and a separate lawsuit filed by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), Mutual of Omaha has formally agreed to change its underwriting practices. Fenway Health was proud to assist both efforts with expert testimony and research by Kenneth H. Mayer, M.D., Medical Research Director and Co-Chair of The Fenway Institute.
"Multiple studies have long shown that Truvada is an incredibly effective way to prevent the transmission of HIV and it is standard to offer it to gay men and others at high risk of infection," Mayer said. "Mutual of Omaha's categorical exclusion of Truvada users from life and long-term care insurance was irrational and based on a gross misunderstanding of how HIV gets transmitted."
Truvada is a tablet containing two types of antiretroviral medication that block HIV from replicating in the body. Taken once a day, Truvada is highly effective at preventing the transmission of HIV. The medication has been approved as a way to prevent HIV transmission by the Food and Drug Administration since 2012 and has been recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 2014 as a treatment for people at high risk of HIV infection, such as gay men.
"Throughout the 35 years we've been fighting AIDS, we've learned that access to medicine and health care isn't enough. Even when science unambiguously shows the way, we have needed legal advocacy to protect the health of our community," Mayer added. "We're incredibly grateful to GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and the Massachusetts Attorney General's office for taking this on."
"Ken has been working in this field since day one of the epidemic. His detailed and comprehensive knowledge of PrEP and HIV prevention, coupled with his ability to clearly and directly explain the science were instrumental in this process," said GLAD AIDS Law Project Director Ben Klein.
In announcing its agreement with Mutual of Omaha, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office explained that the company "has revised its underwriting practices to ensure that it does not deny, rate, or otherwise take any adverse action against any Massachusetts resident who applies for any type of accident, life, sickness, or health insurance with Mutual of Omaha, including long-term care insurance, based on the applicant's use of Truvada for PrEP."
Through strategic litigation, public policy advocacy, and education, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) works in New England and nationally to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation.
Since 1971, Fenway Health has been working to make life healthier for the people in our neighborhood, the LGBT community, people living with HIV/AIDS and the broader population. The Fenway Institute at Fenway Health is an interdisciplinary center for research, training, education and policy development focusing on national and international health issues.

How are things?
For me, they are good. Here's right now:
- I just finished my temporary position at work and resume my regular schedule this week. I was happy for the opportunity and the $$, but will also be glad to get out in the stacks and back to my super flexible schedule again.
- I just (yesterday!) had two teeth extracted and am all propped up in a chair with pillows and blankets and a cat, fulfilling my medically advised "take it easy" prescription. I also have a face swollen like a chipmunk and the Lortab is making me itch, but it's all to a greater good so I'm down with it. PLUS, did I mention the blankets, the cat, the pillows, the book, the laptop, etc.
- I am deeply covetous of some expensive boots. I tell myself I don't need them (I don't) but then I see them disappearing slowly from the internet and I get a little panic in my feet. The mystery of late winter will be whether or not dollar logic prevails over boot desires.
- State of the Union tonight! I will be watching, will you?
Like many, I'm not one for a list of specific resolutions, but there are some new year things that I'm thinking about. Such as…
- this William Morris quote: "If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
- while I was looking for that, I found ANOTHER Morris quote that speaks to me right now: "A good way to rid one's self of a sense of discomfort is to do something. That uneasy, dissatisfied feeling is actual force vibrating out of order; it may be turned to practical account by giving proper expression to its creative character."
- Making time for long books.
- wardrobe overhaul. More on this soon - I would really like to only keep clothes that I love to wear. This should be doable! (see W.M.'s golden rule above.)
- super excited about gardening this year.
- making things! clothes quilts jewelry photographs food etc!
- adventures
- friends
- listening to albums and not just songs
