By Fiona Maciver
▪ The top-four groups for sales and account management remain unchallenged over the year with JP Morgan staying ahead of the pack.
▪ Experienced sales teams that anticipate clients' business needs are fundamental to success.
▪ Investor savviness and the passive vs active debate rise higher in selectors' minds as industry Drivers.
In the midst of the digital revolution and the accompanying pressure on the way we all do business, it's easy to lose sight of something fundamental to successful companies: people. Sales and account management teams stand on the front line, bearing the responsibility for not only creating favorable first impressions but also maintaining relationships and ensuring future business. Selling to professional fund buyers is a complex process with multiple touch points. Understanding their expectations of fund groups' sales support can prove vital in strengthening the foundations of B2B relationships. Where should sales support be focused? As part of its interview program, Fund Buyer Focus measures the relative importance of nine attributes of sales and account management. The table to the right illustrates the relative impact of every attribute and the changes in distributors' perception of the relevance of each, over the 13-month period to 31/08/15(1).
1 This is the time period since Fund Radar last covered the subject of sales and account management in depth
Sales staff expertise, covering both product and market knowledge, remains the top influencer in the overall rankings. Managers that are rated highly in this category have well trained sales employees who exude technical expertise on products and the broader industry, and only promote relevant funds to their clients. Qualitative comments from distributors suggest that the overall length of service of their contacts is also a factor influencing the perception of sales expertise.
Understanding clients' business needs has risen two places. This undoubtedly relates to the approach of Mifid 2, given the inevitable impact on business models and required levels of support from asset managers, and it's understandable to see its relative importance increasing. Asset managers that rank highly for this attribute are generally lauded for proactivity and anticipation of challenges by delivering support in areas such as training, information provision, end- client material and promotion of pertinent products and solutions.
Quality of contacts and visits was the biggest mover over the period, highlighting the importance of getting relationships right. This aspect entails the provision of easy access to specific areas of expertise, whether face-to-face or remotely. It is not solely linked to sales but also encapsulates other areas of support and, significantly for some, includes access to fund managers. The ideal frequency of contact and visits is often hotly debated. What is good for one distributor may not be adequate for another – this loops back to understanding client's needs for successful execution. Companies that are hitting the sweet spot on this subject, according to qualitative feedback from distributors, include Fidelity and Amundi.
Scope of information provision – the relative importance of this aspect fell significantly over the review period but this should be viewed with caution. Information provision is still a key requirement but it has increasingly become a hygiene factor, clients treating its satisfactory delivery as a basic expectation.
Who gets it right?
The top-four managers for strength of sales and account management capabilities remain unchanged over the 12-month period to 31 August 2015. All of them scored highly across the key impact drivers, demonstrating not only expertise at a product and market level but also in their quick response to queries, being proactive and understanding distributors' business needs. The leader, JP Morgan, once again outshone its rivals with top ratings across all Fund Buyer Focus sales and account management measures. Qualitative comments from distributors noticeably focused on the speedy delivery and quality of the information provided, accessibility of sales staff, and understanding of distributors' business needs. Strengths which are clearly articulated by this Italian IFA:
'What really sets JP Morgan's sales team apart from its competitors in this area is the sheer competence of the people. They are real professionals, who can offer the right blend of technical abilities and a strong capacity for the purely commercial aspects of the business relationship.'
There was not much by which to differentiate the second and third groups. BlackRock remained just ahead of Fidelity, thanks to sales staff expertise and understanding clients' business needs, but Fidelity was perceived to be slightly stronger on the quality and frequency of contact and visits.
Invesco, the most significant mover in the top table, demonstrated consistency across all sales and account management attributes. This comment from a Spanish discretionary portfolio manager encapsulates the attention paid to both distributor and end-client needs:
'Invesco's sales people maintain a close working relationship with us and they have a good understanding of our needs as well as those of the end-client. They are very attentive to our requirements and always call us very promptly to let us know about any change or new information that is relevant from our point of view.'
Outside the top 10, Amundi and Henderson made significant progress in the rankings. Amundi moved up four places to 11th while Henderson climbed eight places to 16th. Reviewing qualitative comments from distributors highlights the strength and expertise of these two groups' sales teams, as reflected in the following quotes from a Dutch discretionary manager and a Spanish advisory manager, respectively:
'Henderson's sales people are very accessible and pleasant to deal with and I especially like the abundance, transparency and quality of the information that they provide to us.' 'Amundi has a stable and experienced sales team that is, by now, well established in the Spanish market, with a good understanding of our particular business needs. We don't have to explain things to Amundi's sales people: they already know what we want. For us it's important that a provider's sales teams are stable: dealing with teams that are well known to us is obviously much better from our point of view than having to cope with frequent changes.'
The data considered in this article represent an aggregated pan-European view of distributors' key sales and account management requirements. Of course, fund managers also need to consider local- market nuances and tailor their support accordingly. For example, German fund buyers attach greater importance to the quality of contact and visits than overall sales expertise, really valuing personalized opportunities to communicate. Meanwhile, in Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden, selectors place more emphasis on the ability of managers to proactively provide information. For a fund group to keep its distribution clients happy across the board is no mean feat, but the leading players show that it can be done.

Richard Burt is embarking on a 100 climb cycle-a-thon this summer and is hoping every pedal will help reach his £50,000 target for Dementia UK.
As his main sponsor, Sanctuary Care, who has donated more than £5,000 towards the challenge, wanted to get to know how a man in his sixties could face such a grueling cycling mission. Read his sporting story below!
Meet Richard
Richard was born in Farnborough in 1954 and was part of a '2.4 family' to parents George and Peggy Burt, with older sister Ann.
Born and bred in Hampshire, Richard attended Farnborough Grammar School and it was here where he started to excel in sports.
Love of sports!
In his younger years Richard was a football fanatic, like most boys his age and bagged himself a spot on the school's team – which scooped the District Schools' League leaderboard title for four consecutive years.
When the football season was over, Richard also dabbled in athletics in the summer and even walked 32 miles in one day in army boots for a sponsored walk around the age of 13. The following year at 14, he won the District Sports 3000m Walking Race – which at the time seemed a very long way.
However once leaving his local grammar school, Richard's priorities in sport took a halt until he found his trainers again at the age of 23 where he started to run.
Running in all conditions, Richard would enjoy road and cross-country running at club level for 15 years, where he finished the London Marathon in 1987 in 2 hours and 30 minutes– until he realized he couldn't go any faster or run any further so (unlike Richard) gave up and did no real sporting activity for 20 years – until he discovered cycling at the age of 58 that is!
Family man
Before finding his love of cycling, Richard found love in Lorely Burt, MP and now Baroness Burt of Solihull and the pair married on 31 March 1992. He also has a son James and a step-daughter Emma, who are both 27-years-old.
While being a devoted husband and father Richard also had a wide spread of career highlights from working as a Press Photographer, a Fire Control Operator and a Religious Studies Teacher. After teaching, Richard ran his own sportswear manufacturing and supply company for ten years before getting involved in politics.
New hobby at 58 – thanks to Bradley Wiggins!
Seeing Bradley Wiggins become the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France ignited Richard's inner love of bikes, albeit as a teenager his love was more for Lambretta scooters.
Armed with his new inspiration and a mental push from his son James, who had also just started riding, Richard jumped on a bike and wobbled down the road, nearly falling off repeatedly in the first half mile. However, the wobbly half a mile soon turned into an hour and then two hours. By the next summer, Richard was riding up to 500km per week on a new carbon bike and while he wasn't visiting family, you would always find him on his bike.
Cycling achievements to date
Since starting in 2012, Richard has shone in cycling and in the last three years alone, Richard has raced everything from a two-minute hill climb to the classic 300km classic Milan San Remo cyclosportive in Italy.
He has also raced in the Alps in temperatures up to 43 degrees and cycled for seven consecutive days in the Haute Route Pyrenees, the World's highest and toughest cyclosportive.
Richard also achieved the fastest timed climbs for over 60s last year on three major British sportives and still enjoys trying to set the quickest times recorded on Strava, a running and cycling GPS tracker, on his local hills.

isn't a kiddie one...this is rather disturbing in fact. I have a F*cked up mind
^_^ I was thinking of too many things at once for this one...don't worry this
will probably be the worse story with the exception of "maybe" then
again I never know cause who knows when I'll stop -_-;
"Why is he following me...he is always following...why won't he go away...it's my fault...this is all of my fault...I wish he'd stop.."
The girl walked quickly trying to keep the man from catching up. She cut through an alley in hopes he wouldn't follow. Of course he had followed. As she headed down the alley a door opened. She was grabbed and pulled into the building. She screamed a bit, but her mouth was covered. "You don't want him to find you, do you?" the voice told her. She shook her head with the hand still over her mouth. He released his grip and headed down the hall, "Follow me" he commanded her. She followed right behind him. They headed up some stairs, down some halls, and finally into an apartment. "Are you alright? I've always seen you in the bar with that man.., but recently it seems like you keep trying to get rid of him and he won't leave you alone," the man said to her. She looked at the man's face, realizing who he was. "Oh no, everything's fine. I was...a bit...upset with him that's all...He drinks a little too much. I told him I didn't want to be near him when he drinks that much," she explained. "Oh, I see...You can stay here for a while if you'd like. I have plenty of room and it would be nice to have company for once," the man suggested. The woman felt like she shouldn't take advantage of his hospitality, however she did need to hide away from that man for a while. She grabbed her few things from her apartment and stayed at the man's house for a week.
After a week she couldn't help, but to visit the fellow at work. He had been working on writing this new song. She was anxious to see the people's reaction to it. She headed into the bar, taking a seat at a table in the corner. She watched the man carefully. She felt his voice and music flow throughout her body. The flow was interrupted by him...he took a seat across from her. "Where have you been? You haven't been at your apartment," he said to her. "Oh, I couldn't afford to live there. I had to move out," she explained. "Where are you living now? I hope you're not living on the streets. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be living on streets...it doesn't suit you," he told to her. "No, I'm fine," she assured him, not being too convincing. "You know you can always come back to my place," he paused," please come back...I miss you so much." Tears were forming in his eyes, "I look beside me and I can't stand it...please come back...even just for the night...please." She looked at his tears. A deep horrible guilt lay over her head. She didn't want to go back with him. She hated him. Yet she owed him so much. He helped her...and all she did was leave him. She looked down at his drink. It was full. It was always full. He never drank a thing. What a stupid lie she told her rescuer. She couldn't be with that angel...he was perfect and she was nothing less than a lying idiot. She looked at John. "Sure I'll spend the night," she told him. He smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out. She took one last glance at the singer. He looked at her with a look that felt like he'd always be there for her.
Is he an angel? Is he a creation of God? Not many believe in that God stuff anymore and I thought I didn't. He always seems forgiving. Like how God is always forgiving...
They entered the apartment. John lead her into the bedroom. "I'm sure you must be tired. Let's go to bed," he told her, while removing his clothes. She just nodded and headed over to the bed. John sat down on the bed only in his boxers. "I'm sorry I don't have any night clothes, feel free to take off your clothes if you want," he suggested to her politely. "No I'm fine like this," she told him, laying on the bed. She stayed on her side with her back towards him. He put his arms around her. "I missed you so much. I love you so much. I want you to be with me forever. Promise me you'll be here with me forever," he cried to her. That guilt lay heavier over she. She decided to come back...she owed him so much...she hurt him so much...she had to stay. "I promise I will stay with you forever until death do us part," she said to him.
She woke up and lay up in bed. "So it wasn't a nightmare," she told herself. That horrible smell filled her nose. She hated that smell. It always proved that what happened really did happen. She stood up, throwing on her clothes. She walked into the living room ashamed. She sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. She flipped through the channels, eventually stopping at what appeared to be a cartoon. She was surprised to see a cartoon late at night. "It's one of those Japanese cartoons...only old Japanese people watch these anymore.." she said to herself. She couldn't quite understand what was going on, but the guy was holding the girl's hand and they appeared to be running away from giant robots. The girl was in school uniform and the man was in a dress pants and a button up t-shirt with a tie. They finally got away from the robot and were locked into the man's apartment. "Oh teacher, you saved my life," the school girl said holding on to him. "It was nothing," he tells her. "How could I ever repay you?" she said looking up at him innocently. "Take off your clothes," he told her. "Oh teacher, Is it okay for a student and a teacher to do that sort of thing?" she questioned. He smiled at her warmly, "I love you...I have loved you since I saw that first day at school. I will quit if that's what it means to be with you" "I love you too...but I've never done this sort of thing before...please be gentle," she said to him. They kissed, removing each other's clothes slowly. Soon afterwards the scene was cut to the same robots chasing the teacher and a school girl. It wasn't the same school girl this time. The same thing happens. However the girl refuses, "I can't do this sort of thing...I'm not ready.." The teacher convinces the girl to do it. "how could anyone listen to a guy like that," the girl watching TV thought. The school girl wakes up in the morning and starts to cry. She runs into the kitchen and grabs a knife. She repeatedly stabs herself "up there". At that point the girl turned off the TV.
What a horrible show. How could anyone do that?...then again I feel like that sometimes...
The girl walked into the kitchen, grabbing a knife. She looked at her reflection. She was so beautiful...yet was hiding so much behind that face. She walked into the bedroom carrying the knife...maybe she could frame him...make it seem like he killed her...she did hate him...The man rolled over a bit, mumbling. She glanced at him quickly. She caused him so much pain...she couldn't do such a thing...maybe she should end his pain...he could be in heaven and be happy...what was she thinking...it wasn't his fault...it was hers...he wasn't the bad guy, she was...she looked over at him, looking for an answer. She looked carefully over his body when she stopped over a certain part of his body. There it was looking right at her. There to mock her. There to make her feel guilty. There to prove it wasn't love. "You took me away for your own pleasures!" she screamed as she jammed the knife into his chest, "You only wanted to screw me! I was your fucking whore!" she repeatedly stabbed the knife into different areas of his chest. The blood poured out. She stopped stabbing him, breathing heavily, as tears flowed down her face. She looked at his empty eyes. What did you she do? She had to run. She had to get away. She stood up ran and kept on running. She didn't didn't know where. Her vision was blurred as she ran past people, not being able to tell who they were, yet she didn't care. She kept running, until someone grabbed her hand. She jolted back, "Let me go! I have to get away!" she screamed in fury. "Me too.." he said not letting go of her hand, "let's leave together." A sudden shock came over her as her vision became clear..
I should have refused him...I should have kept running...he saved my life that day...I owe him so much...he's just like an angel...I'm no good for him...I'll only bring him trouble...Especially when he finds out the truth...he'll hate me...I must leave him...This time I don't want to, but I must...not for my sake, but for his...once the opportunity arises I will flee this place and he will be rid of my evil...once again he can be a pure angel...

Chatter: Ian Brennan - Music from the Majority of the Planet
WHAT CONSTITUTES a celebrity or star?
On more than one occasion, when traveling overseas, this point has been brought home to me due to witnessing sightings of regional public figures that create near pandemonium, while, to me, that same individual seems utterly anonymous, and in no way intrinsically remarkable. Some of the biggest selling artists of all time are completely unheard of outside of their own homelands. Their enormous sales figures are made even more startling by the fact that many of these same countries are prone to huge bootlegging undergrounds, and official sales figures account for only a fraction of the actual records in circulation.
Johnny Hallyday has reigned in France as an Elvis-like figure (something that most countries have their own equivalent of, by the way) since 1960, and he has sold more than 100 million records. On his last tour in 2009, he sold out five nights at Paris' main soccer stadium with a capacity of 80,000+ people. Similarly, the crooner Charles Aznavour has sold upwards of 100 mi l l ion a lbums in France.
A.R. Rahman (India), Nana Maskouri (Greece), and Alla Pugacheva (Russia), have all sold more than 100 million records, dwarfing the career sales of relatively minor stars such as Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, and Metallica. In Japan, Yumi Matsutoya and Ayumi Hamasaki both have sales of more than 50-million albums each, while, in Pakistan, the late vocal great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan produced no less than 125 separate albums in his career.
Italian alternative superstar, Jovanotti.
The impact an artist can have on a specific culture is profound. In Italy, one out of ten citizens owns at least one album by alternative superstar, Jovanotti (a Mediterranean, Bonolike figure), whose career has spanned four decades. Meanwhile, in Ethiopia, singer Tilahun Gessesse's 2009 funeral parade was attended by more than one million people.
What does all this spell? Certainly, that cultural importance is relative, and much less centralized than the corporate giants would like us to believe. Also, that art is nothing if not subjective, with beauty truly being in the ear of the beholder.
A selection of sounds from around the globe ...
When the Rolling Stones' Brian Jones traveled to Morocco in 1968 and recorded The Pipes of Pan at Joujouka, less than a year before his death, he was not only among the first rock musicians to take an interest in world music, he also managed to capture songs that still sound somewhat sinister and cacophonous today.
Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan's Shahen-Shah record on Peter Gabriel's Real World label includes only six songs, but each of them exhibit a prowess that could leave just about any singer shy of Pavarotti, speechless.
For sheer epicness, Nigerian singer Youssou N'Dour's entrance at his 2010 Le Grand Bal à Bercy concert in Paris (viewable on You- Tube) should put even KISS or Lady Gaga to shame, and he simultaneously sings like a demon/angel.
If anything could inspire aliens to contact earth, it might be the joyful post-apocalyptic sound of Konono No1's debut album, Congotronics.

Exciting Redevelopment Milesone Achieved!
The project remains at an early and delicate phase, but we wanted to update our supporters about this encouraging development. As you can appreciate, the ship's potential redevelopment represents a multifaceted engineering, real estate, and curatorial undertaking that will take considerable time to advance. Many challenges must still be overcome. However, we are fortunate that our new partners are very well equipped to handle this unique project's scope and scale, and the Conservancy looks forward to working closely with them in the months to come.
Because negotiations are advancing on a confidential basis, we are unable to offer further specifics at this time. We will share additional information as soon as we possibly can. Again, the Conservancy views this as a very positive development which, while still in its initial stages, gives us renewed hope that we can, at long last, Save the United States.
We have reached this moment because so many of you have helped us. You are the real heroes of this effort. We are particularly grateful to Gerry Lenfest, whose transformative contributions enabled the Conservancy to take title to the SS United States in 2011, and who has been a steadfast supporter of our efforts. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Jim Pollin. Without his leadership gift and challenge grant to the Conservancy last summer – and without such a generous response from far and wide to Jim's call – we would never have achieved this milestone.
While the ship is safe for the moment, this achievement doesn't mean our work is done. The Conservancy continues to plan our ship-board museum and educational center, build our archival and curatorial collections, document and disseminate the ship's historic importance, plan for contingencies, and work together with our new redevelopment partners to prepare the SS United States for her voyage to her next port of call.
Again, we can't thank you enough for joining us on this journey and for helping us reach this point. We will honor your commitment by continuing to work tirelessly to ensure that America's Flagship endures and inspires for generations to come.
With our warmest wishes,
Susan Gibbs
Executive Director
SS United States Conservancy

While we, as People, can be instructed a million occasions something bad is going on and agree it's horrible we by no means are likely to do something about it. I come from a household where we attempt to at all times buy American made but even I am responsible of proudly owning some cheap tees and pants… It's exhausting not to purchase them when the supply is there, regardless of how morally flawed that is likely to be. Just like the article said, out of sight, out of thoughts.
At our wholesale fashion retailer, we attempt our greatest to help our wholesalers to get the best selling cheap junior clothes, cheap ladies clothes and the most popular low-cost garments wholesale, meanwhile, we also provide the most recent womens fashion clothing and low cost clothing for males.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, we're throwing away 68 kilos of textiles per person per yr and donating such a staggering quantity of clothes that a majority of our donations to charity should be sold to textile recyclers who then promote more than half of our used clothes abroad, largely to Africa.
In addition to the creator's personal investigations into a budget fashion business, she references plenty of sources (it is a pet peeve of mine that some nonfiction books merely have a bibliography on the finish and don't cite their sources inside the textual content).
Distressed hardware and materials can simply find yourself trying outdated and worn out, especially when they are super low-cost to start with. When you purchased two to three pairs of shoes and ten clothes per 12 months, you'd be investing in clothes that aren't going to fall apart. Because of the availability of cheap labour in East Asia and elsewhere, there has been a gradual decline in employment in the manufacturing industry within the West. San Francisco-primarily based Starre Vartan, the creator of the sustainable fashion web site and a founding member of Fashion Revolution Day USA, thinks there are many things people ought to care about more than low prices.

Last month Neura, the company calling itself "the ethical personalization service for the Internet of Things," announced that it had raised a $11 million Series A funding round. The firm appears to be leading in innovation in the creation of personalized data.
Neura's technology utilizes smarter integrations through machine learning to enable users to get to an unprecedented level of technology personalization. Apps and devices are enriched with insights not only about users' past and present actions but also calculated predictions about the next thing they're going to do.
I met with Denis Vitchevsky, VP Strategy yesterday and I was keen to hear how such predictive technology might work in practice. He explains:
"If you are listening to Spotify, we can tell Spotify your location and who you are with and Spotify will adapt what music is played accordingly, for example, play songs that suit driving or that will suit the tastes of both you and your partner."
This kind of intuitive learning can provide a plethora of conveniences to everyday life from a smart door lock that can request to know when you fall asleep at home, in order to check that the door is locked when it happens; to a smart car requesting to know when you're sleep deprived and when your blood sugar is low if you're a diabetic, in order to turn on extra safety features.
The data gleaned by Neura has an extensive range of potential commercial audiences and applications from car manufacturers gleaning information about how people drive their cars to urban planners learning a consumer's geolocation over a period of time. Not to mention the extensive data that can be mined from health devices and apps.
Making consumer tech more intuitive
Neura believes that the digital identity of the consumer — generated by a consumer's technology use — can enable connected products to become more intuitive. However, it's worth stressing that in contrast to other companies, Neura works at creating a more ethical data sharing ecosystem. The digital identity can only be utilized with the express permission of users, giving individuals complete and irrevocable control over their data – allowing them to share only what they're comfortable with, in exchange for tangible value.
This is an interesting point of difference. Neura's business model is to give their users a smart solution for interacting with their IoT space and selling data gleaned from their actions and preferences to their partners. For example, sharing your Fitbit data with an insurance company may result in cheaper insurance premiums. Or sharing your Google map geography could result in a discount by a car hire company. With their CTO Triinu Magi having been previously employed at RSA, the Security Division of EMC, it's clear they take privacy seriously.
Vitchevsky says:
"Tech companies often see data as a monetization opportunity instead of helping the people they gathered it from. In turn, users are too willing to cede control of their personal information so they can use services like Google Maps or Facebook."
Neura's API and SDK are available on Github for keen IoT developers to utilize and the company is hoping to launch on IoS soon (currently only in beta mode). Vitchevsky shared that they are currently teaming up with a range of companies engaged in IoT and health and it will be interesting to see what comes next.

Minimal Style Pt. 1
I am SO excited to share this shoot with you guys! A collaboration with my two best friends - Randa & Sharday - was way overdue. When the three of us are together, people often comment on our complimenting style. We share the same love for minimal designs and muted looks, and regularly show up in monochrome looks at the same time (no memos, I promise!), but there is always a distinctive difference between our styles. Coincidentally (or not), these pictures are the perfect example of those differences. Can you spot them?
As for the designs we are wearing... They are (hand!) made by the incredibly stylish Melissa Araujo. I first came across Melissa via Instagram and had no idea that she lives in Vancouver as well! I love her monochrome style and the minimalistic approach to her designs and her personal looks. I encourage you to visit her website and check out her minimal designs. Curious to see more of her own style? She blogs as well and offers a daily dose of inspiration on Instagram @melissa.araujo.

Speaking about the signing of Stewart, co-manager, Stuart Kettlewell, said: "We are delighted to announce the signing of striker, Ross Stewart. Ross is a young player who has scored goals in his progression through the Scottish leagues and has attracted our attention as we feel he could have an impact on our first team squad.
"Ross has a fantastic work ethic and realises he has room to improve, and from this both myself and Steven are looking forward to working with him."

We know this: babies need stuff. Lots of stuff. Not as much as is actually available, but it will still leave you overwhelmed, especially if you have a minimalist bent like us. JD and I tried to keep things simple, but the truth is that babies need way more than we realized.
For my friends and relatives who are having babies soon, here is what we found "necessary." :)
Top 10
1. Rock 'N Play Sleeper: this one even vibrates, has a sound machine, and rocks itself. Worth the $$! Alice slept in hers for close to 6 months. Milo lasted 1 (he prefers sleeping on his belly). Babies love to feel "cuddled" and this makes them feel cozy while sleeping at an incline in case spit up happens. And it will.
2. Recliner/Rocking Chair: this one's for you. When you're up at all hours of the night feeding and rocking, you need to have a convenient and comfortable landing place in baby's room. We went the recliner route so we could lay down with the babes on us and we're so glad we did. Also, leather was smart - cleaning up spit up is as easy as wiping it up.
3. Car seat/Base/Stroller (aka the Travel System): we got the Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 and have loved it for both kids now. I also recommend having a smaller, umbrella stroller for those outings when they're bigger and don't require much baggage.
4. Baby Carrier/Wrap/Sling: We use this Infantino Carrier and it's been great. It actually saved us the first few months because JD could wear him around the house and walk him til he fell asleep and I could wear him while I worked on projects. Even now that he's bigger, I can still wear him if he's complaining too much. I also have a Moby wrap but to be honest, rarely use it. It's a lot of work to tie, even when you get it down.
5. Swaddling blankets: we bought these Aden + Anais Organic ones (in Into the Woods print) and love them. We use them for everything - burp cloth, car seat cover, blanket, nursing cover - everything! And they have so many fun prints and colors to choose from. There's always one floating around the house. My only suggestion is that when washing them, make sure not to put them with Velcro items. I did this once and the Velcro stuck to the swaddle and shredded a small section when I pulled it off.
6. Nose Frida: it looks weird but you have got to buy it. This thing works so much better than a nasal bulb and is much less invasive. Don't worry, you are not going to inhale their boogers.
7. Heater/Fan: we live in an old house that leaks a lot of air, so to make sure the temperature doesn't drop too much at night, we have a space heater in each of their rooms. For Milo's, we bought this Lasko Tower Heater so we could control the exact temp.
8. Humidifier: we use this Crane Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and it's great for their systems in the winter - especially with those heaters running. Just make sure not to run it right next to the crib.
9. Sound machine/Projector: we use this myBaby Soundspa Lullaby Sound Machine and love it. We've used it for both kids and it's great because we live a few blocks away from the train tracks and the Blair sirens are always going off during the day (not to mention a toddler is jumping around while Milo naps). We forgot to take it with us on a recent trip and boy did we notice a difference! He had a much harder time going to sleep and staying asleep.
10. Crib: there are so many cute options now! Even cuter than three years ago when we bought one for Alice. If you type in "modern crib" on Amazon you'll find any number of darling ones. Note: Don't buy a convertible crib. No one "converts" them - they just buy bigger beds. To go with your crib you'll need a mattress, waterproof pads, crib sheets (at least 2), and a mesh bumper. The bumper is great so they don't stick their arms or legs through the slats and pull too hard, accidentally breaking a limb. YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE FOR A CRIB. Blankets, decor, and pillows are cute, but unnecessary. It's all a gimmick, not to mention can be potentially hazardous.
Everything Else We Use
Diaper Time
Changing Pad/Towel: for Alice, we simply changed her on a towel on the floor. When I got to be pregnant with Milo (and huge), getting up and down all the time was harder for me, so we got a changing pad and put it on an old dresser in the nursery. We bought this Summer Infant Contoured changing pad sans cover. It's so much easier to clean it by wiping it town instead of taking a cover off all the time (because we would literally have to change it everyday). I mean the poop. There is always poop.
Wipe Warmer: we use cloth diapers (see post here) and love having a wipe warmer for our reusable wipes - even our disposable ones when our others are in the wash. We use this Prince Lionheart Warmer.
Diaper Pail: with cloth diapers, we use a basic one with reusable liners (2).
Out and About
Travel Changing Pad: we use this one by Skip Hop every time we go out. It's so nice to have your own so you know you're not laying your little on a dirty public Koala Kare. This is a MUST HAVE.
Diaper Bag: I used my French Connection messenger bag with Alice and my ONA camera bag with Milo. Diaper bags that were designed to be diaper bags are great with their never-ending supply of pockets and pouches, but when it came down to it, I didn't want to look like I was carrying a diaper bag. Totally a matter of preference, but I'd encourage moms not to drop loads on an actual diaper bag and perhaps look anew at bags that suit their tastes that could still tote their necessities. Or better yet, just use a bag you already own.
Wet/Dry Bag: these are great for storing soiled clothing, wet things, or used diapers. Ours is from Planet Wise, but there are loads of others out there.
Car Mirror: we really like being able to see if Milo is sleeping or awake, so we got a mirror for rear-facing car seats. We use this one from Brica.
Car Window Shade: another must have for us is this Brica shade to keep the sun out of their eyes during the day. I love this one in particular because the base attaches to the bottom of the window and you can stretch it up to clip over the top of the window so if you roll the window down, the shade goes down with it and then back up again.
Car Seat Protector: to prevent dents and stains, we have two of these Brica Seat Car Seat Protectors.
Eating Time
High Chair: we wanted a high chair that was a. easy to clean, and b. pretty. So we spent the extra and bought this OXO Tot Sprout Chair and love it. We bought the pink/walnut one and will order just the taupe insert soon so Milo doesn't have to sit in his sister's pink throne :) It adjusts as baby grows and is so easy to clean. No nooks and crannies here, folks. Whatever you do, AVOID NOOKS AND CRANNIES.
Bib: my friend, Leah, made us the best bibs for eating time. They velcro in the back and are long and cover your whole front. You will need at least a couple.
Sippy cup: Avent's Drinking Cup is the bomb. Nothing comes out unless your child pushes their lips to it. Highly recommend.
Boppy Pillow: I'm torn on this one. I used it a lot with Alice, but by the time I had Milo I realized I didn't really need it aside from the first two weeks. I could live without it, but I know it's a must have for a lot of moms out there.
Play Time
Bumbo: you have to have a Bumbo! My friend, Katharine, gave me hers and it even has a tray. Milo sits in that thing whenever my arms need a break and he loves being able to perch and watch instead of lay. It's easy to clean and you can bring it all over the house. As a SAHM, it saves me every single day.
Pack and Play: while we don't use ours much, it is nice to have when we go visit places so Milo has a place to sleep. We got an Aprica play yard, but they have since been rolled into Nuna. Some of my friends use this as their crib and bassinet for the first 6 months.
Monitor: we got ours for $10 at the pawn shop - nothing fancy, but it works! I don't use it at night since the nursery is right across the hall and I can hear him as soon as he starts to cry, but it's nice to have during the day when I'm working in my studio and he's napping upstairs in his room. Some of my friends have quite the video system, too, but we haven't needed anything like that. It's all a matter of preference.
Mobile: I made each of theirs, but since Milo sleeps on his belly he hasn't needed one. It would be nice to have one that can help them fall asleep, but hasn't been necessary for us.
Swing: we borrow swings from whatever of our friends isn't having kids at the moment and it has saved us hundreds! Thank you Rachel & Clay and Annie & Kyle!! Both Alice and Milo took a great many naps and soothing wake hours in the swing. This Fisher-Price one has been awesome.
Play gym: my sister bought us this one and Milo has loved it. He still plays with it every day!
Baby-proofing: we use these Safety 1st Magnetic Locks and Munchkin Outlet Plug Covers.
Baby Personal Care
Gripe Water: there are a number of great organic options at your local pharmacy and I highly recommend having a bottle on hand for tummy troubles. There are so many moments in those first few months where you have no idea why their tummies hurt - it could be the hiccups, it could be something you ate (if you're breastfeeding), it could be gas. This has helped us a great many times.
Homeopathic Teething Tabs: we use these from Hyland's for when teething starts and their gums are sore. It stays on much better than a gel.
Baby wash: we've been using the Sweet Orange Vanilla shampoo and bodywash from The Honest Company and love it! You'll want to nibble on your baby even more and this is a great company. We recently learned about Norwex, so we might just switch to the baby cloths and ditch soap altogether.
Brush: there are lots of sets out there that contain the clippers and combs and what not, but you don't need half of it. I would recommend buying the three things you actually need separately: the brush, clippers, and thermometer. The brush I still want to get is this BerryBest Brush.
Nail Clipper: this one from Safety 1st is great.
Thermometer: ours came in that silly set, but they make tons of better ones out there.
Pacifier: our littles never took to pacifiers, but the one they took when they were a few days old was an AVENT Soothie Pacifier.
Diaper rash ointment: we use kukui nut oil from our local baby shop, Baby Junk. It works wonderfully to soothe and smells nice to boot.
Detergent: since we wash cloth diapers, we needed something mild for those and their clothes. Luckily, it works great on ours, too, and a giant tub lasted us 2 and a half years! We use Charlie's Soap by the 32 pound bucket.
Wash cloths: we love Thirsties Fab Wipes and have about 3 packs of 6. Three of the colors we use for diaper wipes and the other three colors we use for everything else. They are soft, absorbent, and downright awesome.
Reusable Nursing Pads: I had been using Lasinoh disposable nursing pads but the sticky side kept sticking to my skin - and that hurts to take off! Not to mention it always looked like I was stuffing my bras with tissues, and then my friend, Leah, gave me some reusable cotton pads. They are wonderful! Not to mention they suit our lifestyle of not throwing away so much better. Here are some nice organic ones on Amazon.
Nursing Bra: I have not had a ton of luck finding a bra I absolutely loved, but this Motherhood one has met my needs at present. Mostly, I got it because it didn't look like a nursing bra and it came in my size - harder and harder to find these days. However, my friend Angela just raved about this Bravado Seamless Nursing Bra and I can't wait to try it!
Fenugreek: if you are planning on breastfeeding, this supplement will cause your cups to runneth over. It really helps to boost your milk supply and the only side effect is that you will smell like maple syrup. Your partner will love it, and probably crave more pancakes and bacon. I used this organic kind from GOLD and it was exactly what I needed.
Well, that covers most of it. I'm sure I forgot something or five, but it's a fairly comprehensive starting point (with the exclusion of books, diapers, bibs, and clothes - no brainers!).
For my mama friends, what was I missing that you found you used a lot? What on here didn't you need at all?
Other notes: Amazon Prime will be your best friend, don't be afraid to return things, copious amounts of newborn clothing is completely overrated, and you can never have too many books.

Hope this helps! Happy registering and HAPPY NESTING!!!

MachineWorks Ltd, provider of true solid-based simulation and verification component software is presenting its new polygon solid modeling toolkit, Polygonica, at Euromold in Hall 8, Stand A123.
Polygonica toolkit is a software solution that solves problems in solid models such as self-intersecting triangles or open solids. Polygonica also provides useful functions for STL manipulation such as slicing, geometry simplification and other Boolean operations.
Problems with large data
There are many frustrated users out there trying to handle models with millions of polygons. Seriously large models cause problems and just trying to open them can cause computers to freeze. Manipulating large STL files often limits the scope of the work.
Problems with bad data
Open solids that need healing, inverted triangles that need re-orienting, having to spend time preparing the data to be able to use it... these are common occurrences that affect many users, taking time and costing money.
Sound like a familiar story? What is perhaps not so familiar is that hardware manufacturers are starting to offer their customers integrated software solutions.
Manufacturers of 3D printers, rapid prototyping and laser sintering machines used to think that bad data was not their problem but their customers' problem. They have now realised that by offering their very own software solution they can add value to their product offering as well as reinforce the relationship with their customers.
Polygonica is an OEM toolkit, not a standalone application. It can also help existing software to perform better. Polygonica comes as a set of libraries that are integrated into manufacturers' applications allowing both the manufacturer and its customers to deal with solid manipulation issues cost-effectively.
Polygonica has been benchmarked against other industry solutions and the feedback obtained was encouraging. More automatic healing, less manual intervention, outstanding time savings, LimitState, a software specialist in the analysis of masonry arch bridges and geotechnical engineering, achieved reduced times from 5 hours to 25 seconds.
Polygonica's success is based on the same technology that underpins MachineWorks Simulation, which has had 17 years of industrial use in a demanding CAM environment.
You can learn more about Polygonica by attending Dr Fenqiang Lin's seminar about "Solutions for repairing defective STL polygons" on Tuesday, 29th November 2011, at 15:30 at Frankfurt Messe on Hall 11 Stand F68.
Also you can see MachineWorks at Euromold 2011, Hall 8 Stand A123

Shadow of the Colossus Review
In 2005, Fumito Ueda followed up Ico, his directorial debut, with its spiritual successor Shadow of the Colossus. In it, the player guides a young man named Wander whose trespass into a mystical, forbidden valley is largely motivated by the cursed fate of his beloved. According to the folklore of his people, this place has the power to return souls to the dead in exchange for undergoing a perilous trial. The game would go on to earn critical acclaim for its gameplay, visuals, and evocative presentation. At the time, Shadow of the Colossus was a great technical feat for the PlayStation 2, but age has since weathered its once acceptable appearance. A remastered version for the PlayStation 3 softened some of the rough edges, but it's difficult not to see it as a relic when held up against games that are getting more and more photorealistic.
Enter Bluepoint Games. After bringing the game to the PlayStation 3, they have returned to Ueda's fantastical world and brought his vision to Sony's newest console with a staggeringly beautiful update. This isn't a "George Lucas adding CGI to the original Star Wars trilogy" kind of update -- This is Leonardo da Vinci going back to finish the Mona Lisa. From the opening cutscene to the game's emotional conclusion, toe to tip, this version is how Shadow of the Colossus was meant to look. High resolution textures, powerful lighting effects, ambient weather, and a fluid, consistent framerate come together in a grand restoration of a video game classic.
To those who missed out on the game in 2005 and 2011, this third-person adventure involves tracking sixteen Colossi and defeating them in a one-on-one battle. Like a gnat trying to attack an elephant, your attacks are largely ineffective to these towering behemoths with the exception of weak spots indicated by glowing blue sigils. Attacking these areas will significantly damage a Colossus but getting there is often easier said than done. Each Colossus, then, is a traversal puzzle that challenges you to navigate across their body, climbing atop fur, moss, and rocky armor while the Colossus does everything in its power to shake you off. The Colossi present the player with unique situations and environments that play a role in how you're intended to topple them. Should you get stuck, the disembodied Dormin, who has set Wander on his trial, will chime in with subtle hints. Every Colossus you face is designed to feel as epic as the game can allow. The in-game camera behaves dynamically whenever the player isn't manipulating it, panning, scanning, and zooming out to better impart a sense of scale. The music also changes depending on the situation, with a quiet and methodical score that plays underneath your attempts to find a way onto the Colossus and then changes to something more rousing, exciting, and active as you clamber atop their frame in search for the weak points.
The experience of playing Shadow of the Colossus never ceases to amaze. Even the quiet moments during the lead up to each Colossus battle, where there are no enemies to fight, instill a feeling of quiet awe. While certainly playable on the PlayStation 2, it did suffer from technical problems because of the platform's limitations. Framerate drops were an all too common issue during encounters that featured a lot of particle effects, or if there was just a lot of action going on screen at once. Lighting effects were effective yet plain, which can also be said of the graphics. It was pretty, but textures looked as good as they could on the system. Granted, the game didn't need to rely on painting a pretty picture because it's gameplay was so enthralling. By today's standards though, if there was ever a game that could benefit from a modern reconstruction, it's this one--and Bluepoint doesn't disappoint.
From the game's opening cutscene, I couldn't believe I was seeing the same game from thirteen years ago. Shadow of the Colossus on the PlayStation 4 is breathtaking in every possible way. The textures are far more vibrant and show staggering detail (whether you're looking at trees or ruined structures), the Colossi are incredibly detailed and feature animated fur effects that are on par with a Pixar film, and the world itself has more character as trees sway in the quiet breeze, sunlight cuts through dense forest canopies, and sand devils swirl across the valley's desert plains. Water splashing against lake shores can be seen from miles away, dust gets scattered to the winds, and water froths realistically as it spills over the edge of the landscape. The best visual improvements, by a wide country mile, are the renewed lighting effects. While the sun and firelight are responsible for creating some fantastic shadows and god rays, I grew really fond of the effect of the Colossis' blue sigils. Not only do they stand out better during an encounter, but they also emit a glow that spills onto Wander's body whenever he's in close proximity. I find it difficult to properly convey just how good this remake looks, which is why I made liberal use of the newly added Photo Mode to make screenshots for this review. Like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (also a Bluepoint joint), you can hit a button at any time to pause the action and take a shot, manipulating various sliders and filters that should delight your inner shutterbug. Because it's impossible to take a bad photo, I can't wait to see what the community does with it.
Shadow of the Colossus will forever hold a special place in my heart. Everything about this unique adventure, from watching hawks fly alongside Wander and Argo to the tragedy that precedes its conclusion, is as I remember it: powerful, evocative, and heartstopping. I was able to recall almost every Colossus battle but even though I knew the trick for each, the encounters never fail to be exciting. In fact, I strongly believe that the Colossus 13 encounter is one of the most thrilling setpieces of any video game made within the last twenty years. After the story is over, there are a few things to keep you sticking around. A New Game+ option lets you start the adventure over with health and grip meters carried over from the last playthrough, a Time Attack mode, and even an option to play the whole thing mirrored add more to an already full-feeling experience. Completionists are likely to go back and find all the shrines, crystal lizard tails, and apples to fill out their Trophy logs.
Rebuilt for a new generation, Bluepoint has created a stunning tribute to one of the best video game experiences on the PlayStation. I haven't seen a quality remake of a game like this since Capcom's Resident Evil REmake. And now that the visuals finally match Shadow of the Colossus' grandeur and scope, there's no better time to play it for the first time--or third, fourth, or fifth.
Librarian by day, Darkstation review editor by night. I've been playing video games since the days of the Commodore 64 and I have no interest in stopping now that I've made it this far.

This has to easily be one of the most exhilarating, fresh, and unique theatre experiences Portland has to offer. Both as an actor and I'm sure as an audience member. The element of discovery is alive and electric in a room full of hundreds of people who are experiencing something new together. I feel incredibly respected when a company gives me full-license to just play and create moment-to-moment, and gives me a chance to be truly vulnerable. It forges this newfound love for the craft, and for the people who buy into all of it. The artists, the audience, everybody. We often tell ourselves to "trust the process," but in a situation where there such little process to trust, the people around you become the process. It's very humbling. And loads of fun to boot. If I can hope to be so lucky, I can't wait to do it again!

Public Comment
Commentary: Parking Tickets: A Hidden Agenda?
In the Nov. 28 issue Rob Browning gets yet another chance to explain his behavior during his Oct. 31 parking ticket incident. Mr. Browning's arrest appears in a different light after Judith Scherr's report on the City of Berkeley budget in the Nov. 17 issue. Scherr's report shows an unexpected $500,000 increase in parking ticket fines for 2006, one of only three revenue items on the way up. No figures were given for total fines collected, but if a $500,000 increase is thought to be significant, total fines for the year must be in the millions. My opinion of the Browning incident has now done a 180-degree turn. It seems not all the facts about the incident have come to light.
One thing missing in the Planet's pages is the other side of the story. Why haven't you allowed the parking enforcement officer equal time to tell her own version of the incident? Readers need to know why she thought it necessary to ticket a vehicle with one or two wheels on the sidewalk, a circumstance quite common on streets nationwide. Mr. Browning alleges in his original commentary that he was not blocking the sidewalk. What does the officer say? How much of the vehicle was on the sidewalk? Did she measure the width occupied, either in feet (or inches?) or in percentage of coverage? Was this "blockage" really a blockage, or merely an excuse to pad her statistics? More importantly, was this blockage worth a new addition to her colorful and stylish epaulet? Perhaps she never considered that such an addition to her epaulet (Browning's ticket) would occur. Perhaps she is now aware that such an addition could indeed happen at any time, now that she knows the likely result of her ticketing such feet or inches of indiscretion.
I think that this officer needs an opportunity to write her own commentary on the Planet's pages. In the light of the City of Berkeley's fervent tracking of yearly, monthly and daily dollars of parking fines, readers need to know if this officer is subjected to a quota of tickets during her daily rounds, and if so, exactly how much in fines she is expected to generate for the city each day. Is there a qualitative measure of what parking actions would warrant a fine and what exactly counts toward her quota? Does she receive a bonus for writing tickets, including tickets for "blockages" such as that of Browning? After all, parking fines are important to the City of Berkeley. Just how much of Berkeley's $500,000 windfall was this officer responsible for in fiscal 2006? The officer needs an opportunity to state this for the record and to justify her actions.
If this officer declines to write such a commentary, Planet readers are certainly entitled to at least know her name so they can interview her themselves. If the officer is prevented from telling her side of the story by her superiors, under the theory that she is merely an employee (as, for example, the Nuremberg defendants, "not responsible" for her actions), and anything she says would not represent parking enforcement policy (or whatever other lame excuse the department might give), then an official representative of Berkeley Parking Enforcement should be required to give the department's side of the story. Perhaps such a representative could explain quotas, incentives, the place of parking fines in City budget projections, etc., and how these fines are used to offset property taxes for owners of homes worth $500,000 or $1,000,000. That's the least the Planet can do to illuminate this incident further for your readers. I would think it your professional duty as journalists to give equal time to the Parking Enforcement Department.
A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle described four incidents of assaults on parking enforcement officers and their vehicles in that city in six days. To my knowledge none of the Browning-types in these incidents have apologized for their behavior. In fact, they reveled in it and laughed at the inane officers involved. Is Browning's apology merely a new form of Berkeley "political correctness," or is
the San Francisco method the real way to go? Only Planet readers can decide, but we need more information.
One has to wonder about a city with a $32 million annual property tax revenue spending so much time and effort collecting parking fines. And we don't even know how many thousands of dollars each parking enforcement officer is making for her efforts; hopefully each one generates enough fines to pay her salary. Five hundred thousand dollars is an awful lot of pretty epaulets. Let's hope Mr. Browning's officer polishes or at least fondles hers daily.

Every year some one comes into the store and wants to buy a gallon of lacquer primer and says, " I'm just going to prime it now and I'll paint it next summer."
Sounds good, seems to make sense the thing is lacquer primer does not protect the metal and because it is porous it actually holds water against the metal. This is the result.

Fans are loving this new 'do on Jesy...
Little Mix fans are seriously loving Jesy Nelson's brand new blonde 'do.
The singer posted an Instagram snap of her transformation for Radio 1's Big Weekend. And unsurprisingly, the sultry pic was instantly flooded with compliments.
Comments included: 'Love your hair this colour!' 'SO BEAUTIFUL,' and: 'I really love your hair 😍 the color really fits you 👍🏼.'
See: So, Little Mix Are Killing The Instagram Game Right Now
Noting that Jesy appeared to be wearing a wig, others wrote: 'You have to dye your hair to this 😍,' and: 'You are gorgeous always but I looooove the blonde. Beauty is an understatement 💯💯❤❤❤.'
The 25-year-old's revamped hair was debuted shortly after the band's announcement of their brand new single Power.
The girls posted this clever video on Instagram, to confirm that they'll be collaborating with grime artist Stormzy.
Of course, followers had just as many thoughts about the surprise collaboration as they did with Jesy's new hair.
One wrote: 'I love you girls, but another featuring? 😪,' while a more upbeat Mixer said: 'OMG i like it ! I cant wait to see and listen this song 💕💕 i am the biggest fan of yours !! 😀💕✨.'
See: Little Mix Fans Are Furious With Chris Clark's TOWIE Conversation
Another added: 'I'm loving the features and the collab like I'm honestly loving it because this just brings more to little mix and their songs and to have them work with some great big artists is what i love and want for little mix.
Latest Stories
'Stormzy is really big in the UK and he's killing it so him being on this song would make this song bigger than it already is. Just trust the girls on this, they know what they're doing Just wait to see the video and then make ur judgements [sic].'
New hair AND a new single. What a weekend for Little Mix.

An aeronautical chart was developed to determine the relative proximity of volcanoes or ash clouds to the airports and flight corridors that may be affected by volcanic debris. The map aims to inform and increase awareness about the close spatial relationship between volcanoes and aviation operations. It shows the locations of the active volcanoes together with selected aeronautical navigation aids and great-circle routes. The map mitigates the threat that volcanic hazards pose to aircraft and improves aviation safety.
