President Cena has signed former WWE Womens Champion The Kat to be in his corner June 28th against J-Busta of JBL's Uprising one-on-one as part of his "Fabulous Women of Wrestling" division!
The first two MWF Heavyweight Championship competition qualifying matches have been signed: Rick Fuller will take on Ox Baker's Executioner Brian Milonas, and MWF Television Champion "Straight Edge" Brian Fury challenges "Future Legend" Luke Robinson of JBL's Uprising in a non-title match. Four more matches will be announced soon. The winners of these singles matches advance to the 6-Pack All-Star Challenge match to crown a new MWF Heavyweight Champion with Todd Hanson's disabling injury.
TNA Knockout Awesome Kong has surprisingly been added to Night of Champions June 28th in Melrose, MA and will take part in the first match in John Cena Sr.'s "Fabulous Women of Wrestling" division: Awesome Kong -vs- ODB -vs- Isis. Isis has been mentored by "Superstar" Billy Graham and will be making her debut in this triple threat!
MWF Heavyweight Champion Todd Hanson has been stripped of the title effective June 27th at 11:59PM due to lingering injuries by the MWF "stalker" Dylan Kage and his mentor Paul Bearer. John Bradshaw Layfield had been politicking for "Slyck" Wagner Brown to receive a singles match against the injured Hanson, but President Cena and the MWF Board of Directors have created a 12 man championship competition – the winner of six singles matches will square off in a 6-Pack All Star Challenge match with sudden death rules and the victor will be the new MWF Heavyweight Champion:
JOHN CENA SR. -vs – J-BUSTA JUNE 28TH!

John Bradshaw Layfield isn't expected to appear at Night of Champions live June 28th, however, with his LayfieldEnergy.com company sponsoring the event, he's expected to make a big announcement for the fans in attendance. What is JBL up to now??
WWE Hall of Famer "Superstar" Billy Graham was the special guest on MWF Xtra: The John Cena Sr. Show this month to talk about his mentoring of Isis, who debuts as part of Cena's "Fabulous Women of Wrestling" division June 28th. He was enraged when he found out that Isis has been put into a three way match with both Awesome Kong and ODB, along with the rumors that JBL sent Kong to Night of Champions to disrupt the kick-off of FWW:
TNA Knockout division superstar ODB has signed on to appear as part of John Cena Sr.'s "Fabulous Women of Wrestling" June 28th at Night of Champions!!

Star – I got her out on the track before the sun set to work on her canter a bit. She didn't volunteer the right hand lead, but that's ok. I just wanted to canter her in a space that was larger and more inviting of forward flow than our riding arena. We also did the jump grid Caitlyn and Lauren have built up to over the last 3 weeks ( across the diagonal, ground pole 3 trot strides a single raised cavaletti, 4 trot strides to an X).
She was very good. The girls have brought her quite a long way in a year and a half (with summers off). :-)
I did get the right hand lead in the arena. We schooled the gate (obstacle) a half dozen times. She stops and stands obediently while you lean over and grab the chain and wiggle the gate. She also does nothing if you let the gate swing open. :-) Layers.

Weekly Roundup
It's been a big (and exciting!) week! Here's a roundup of some of the good stuff:
- I got out for a walk along the Surf Coast walk. It was my first big hike since having the flu, so it was a bit tougher than I'd hoped. BUT, it was a beautiful day, and was a good test of my ability to keep going (when the going get's tough). I managed to find some energy from somewhere, slowed the pace a bit, and focussed on the beauty around me.
I walked from Pt Addis, to Pt Roadknight and back – a bit over 20km. I had a yummy lunch stop at Anglesea General Store on the way back – very easy to access from the trail (just across the Great Ocean Road), and delicious!
- The next day found me on the Bellarine Rail Trail with one of the ladies who'll be joining me on the Walk to Make a Difference. The weather was a bit dodgy, but I'd only cycled along this trail (and many years ago), so it was good to try it out while walking. We had a great chat and some laughs along the way – and all of a sudden we were finished!
We walked from Christies Road in Leopold to Jetty Road Drysdale and back – about 13km. It was a great way to get some easy km's in the legs, but I found it a bit hard walking on bitumen over that distance (I could've also been tired from the day before on the Surf Coast Walk though…).
- I held my first fundraising event for The Hunger Project Australia – a BBQ at the Hub Open Day in Lara. The weather was awful – think sideways rain, and freezing cold wind. We still managed a few sales though, and it was a good way to ease into other (and bigger) events.
- It's apparent that even though I do a lot of walking, my body strength is pretty bad. A stronger core, legs, and back will all help in a big way with my walking. So, this week I've done 2 different sessions – one carrying a 15kg sand bag, and the other with small weights in the gym. I really enjoyed these sessions, and will do more in the coming weeks.
- My last Blog Post was featured on The Hunger Project Australia's Facebook page – woo hoo!
So, that's it – as you can see I've had a great week – hope you all have too!
Happy Hiking!
Fresh air, beautiful walking with amazing scenery, and good times with great people…does this sound like your idea of a fun weekend? Then you're going to LOVE one of our group retreats. PLUS – for all retreat spots booked in August, I'll donate $50 of your trip price to The Hunger Project Australia.

Five ECM trends to watch
From mergers and acquisitions to feature maturity to cloud computing, here are the enterprise content management trends to watch in 2014.
From Punxsutawney Phil to Michel de Nostradamus, humans have tried to divine the future for centuries. While the verity of these prognostications varies, we're still drawn to visions of the future.
So with a little trepidation and some caveats about the potential fallacies that come with a crystal ball, I would like to offer five predictions for the coming year in the enterprise content management (ECM) market.
Cloud computing in 2014
It's no surprise that many organizations have made advances in moving toward cloud computing. Shedding internal infrastructure in favor of a scalable and elastic hosting approach for a range of needs is alluring. But most large enterprises are hesitant to subject their content to prying eyes in the cloud. As discussed in my article on cloud-based ECM software, it's legitimate for firms to be wary.
In 2014, however, that story will shift. It should be clear that firms like Box.net and DropBox have made enterprise-class file storage, management and lifecycle management accessible and reliable. Over the past few years, large and small enterprises have signed up in droves to use these Software as a Service-based technologies. Historically, use has largely been limited to small- and medium-sized firms. In 2014, by contrast, large, marquee organizations will adopt cloud-based ECM tools. In effect, 2014 will be a tipping point for ECM software.
Mergers and acquisitions
Over the past few years, large and small enterprises have signed up in droves to use SaaS-based technologies.
In order for this article to be credibly clairvoyant, it's necessary to use predictable -- even in the estimation of mere mortals-- events. Suggesting future mergers and acquisitions (to "consolidate" the market) fits that approach. But in the ECM space, mergers and acquisitions will be less about market share (as in more early-stage technology markets) and more about feature enhancements to existing suites.
Few of the most-established ECM software technologies (e.g., Documentum, OpenText and Hewlett-Packard's Autonomy) have made significant technological advancements. While these technologies have been upgraded, their functionality remains largely unchanged. So updates represent a matter of degree, not kind. They lack a combination of the slick polish of startups and the interactivity associated with the relatively new crop of technologies, such as Carbonite (Sync), LogMeIn (Cubby) and Huddle.
In 2014, larger ECM software vendors will abandon their organic development approach and buy upstarts. Who will be the targets and who will be the acquirers is more difficult to predict. But the old guard needs to buy its way back to relevancy, and the new kids need to be integrated with established players to stay in business.
Customer upgrades and acceptance
The key to any change is adoption, and the key to adoption is getting customers to agree that the changes are valuable. While many firms with old-school ECM software have been reluctant to upgrade, 2014 will signal newfound acceptance in the form of upgrades.
In 2014, ironically, several pieces will fall into place without seismic displacement.
The proverbial train has left the station on several ECM-related fronts: social, cloud and mobility, to be specific. Well-established ECM vendors are being forced to integrate these concepts into their tools. At the same time, the upstarts are pushing the market from the bottom up and winning market share. The perfect storm of stability and maturity -- and the historical upgrade lag -- are driving customers to make decisions about the future of existing ECM technologies and the adoption of new ones.
Those firms that, for one reason or another, cannot completely disconnect from legacy ECM software will upgrade. They'll make a significant investment in new licenses, new hardware and the organizational changes that accompany updates to existing software.
At the same time, a whole new community of organizations will strategically implement the newest crop of ECM software (perhaps alongside of or to replace legacy ECM technologies). Since most of these new ECM software options are now cloud-hosted, this prediction goes hand-in-hand with the earlier cloud adoption prognostication. The end result will be a new baseline established for the ECM market.
Capability maturation
Somewhat in conflict with the previous prediction regarding acquisitions, though not entirely, ECM will again plateau. Whereas 2012 and 2013 represented significant shifts in how firms view ECM, 2014 will represent a cooling period for features and functions.
The traditional ECM feature set is fairly well-known (e.g., check in, check out, versioning, overall lifecycle management, workflow and so on). However, over the past few years, the way content is created and how it's stored has changed. Whether this is represented by the way social networking features have crept in (e.g., heavier reliance on discussion around content), the rise of collaborative authoring (e.g., synchronous authoring as in Google Docs), or simply the way content storage is managed (e.g., a combination of local store synchronized with a central store -- à la Microsoft's SkyDrive), things have changed. However, even these newer features have come to be expected, operating, somewhat consistently, among various vendors' technologies. 2014 represents the year everyone will recognize the market has created predictable patterns of features and interactivity.
A year without change

Cloud-based ECM technologies: SharePoint Online vs. Box
The perils and promise of cloud-based ECM
While it won't be a "Seinfeld year" in which nothing happens, in 2014, ironically, several pieces will fall into place without seismic displacement. All the predictions about what's to come originate from real shifts that began two or three years ago. These shifts are now coming to roost in a year that will enable firms to stabilize their environments and adopt.
To be sure, there will be challenges, but these challenges will be adoption- and migration-related. They are not likely to create the conceptual dissonance we've seen over the past few years; firms get cloud and social capabilities now. In 2014, the market will take a breath and make real all of those concepts, and sow the seeds of change for the coming years.
ECM trends: Wait and see
These ECM trend predictions are as accurate as the Mayan calendar or our ability to pilot our flying cars in the 21st century. No one can see the future. That said, it's always fun to make educated guesses about the direction of the market.
Here's to a fantastic 2014 and the excitement that comes with watching events unfold!

The behavior of the electromagnetic field interaction with gold nanotriangles organized in bow-tie arrays is investigated. A side-by-side comparison between the measured absorbance of the array and the modelled integrated electric field resonances confined around the gold structures is presented and discussed to explain the spectral shift between both parameters. Finite difference time domain calculations and Raman measurements of gold triangles of different sizes and periodicity are systematically performed. Numerical calculations show that the spectral maximum of the electric field varies in distinct areas over the metallic structures.

Rosie O'Donnell suffers heart attack, gets stent
NEW YORK (AP) — Rosie O'Donnell says she suffered a heart attack last week and is "lucky to be here."
The 50-year-old comedian detailed the experience on her blog Monday, saying sudden nausea, aches and other symptoms pushed her to do an online search for "women's heart attack symptoms." She took a few aspirin and went to a cardiologist the next day.
She says an artery was 99 percent blocked and a stent was inserted.
O'Donnell writes in a kind of verse on her blog. She says: "Know the symptoms ladies/ listen to the voice inside/ the one we all so easily ignore."
The comedian recently hosted "The Rosie Show" on the Oprah Winfrey Network. It was canceled in March.

A Pet Owner's Guide to Flea Control
Fleas are blood-feeding parasites that can infest many species of birds and mammals. Although fleas on dogs and cats don't infest people, fleas may bite people if an area is heavily infested. Flea infestation is one of the most common medical problems veterinarians see, and pets suffer greatly from this condition. Flea bites can trigger severe allergic reactions in some pets. The intense itching caused by flea infestation causes pets to scratch and bite themselves. This can lead to skin wounds, skin infections, and general misery for your pet. Even if your pet is not allergic to flea bites, fleas can transmit serious diseases, such as bartonellosis (the bacteria that causes "cat scratch disease" in people), and other parasites, like tapeworms.Read More

After further reading and talking with a few teachers, this is the system I decided on.
Each morning when my students enter the room and put up their backpacks and folders, they will also make the daily five round choice. In the beginning, the only choice in the pocket chart will be read to self. I want my students to become familiar with the routine as soon as school starts so I am going to have them place their picture in the pocket chart even though all of the choices are the same. They will find their picture and place it to the left of the read to self icon.

So you may have heard that last Friday was I Love Yarn day. I was minding my own business on Twitter (ok, I was procrastinating) when Gather Here tweeted about their special I Love Yarn sale.
My insane yarn addiction immediately kicked I made a mature, informed decision to go in and spoil myself with some Shibui. My schedule is pretty much 120% booked until January with shows and stocking shops, but I told myself I would save this until after the holidays and make myself something pretty as reward.
Then it happened. The Shibui yarn started haunting me, with its pretty warm purple tones. I got so distracted daydreaming about it that I started making mistakes on the knitting I should be working on. I pulled out my swift and winder and said, "this way I can interact with it a little, then I'll put it away." So I wound the yarn into pretty little balls and put them on the table, to put away in the closet later. Long story short: an hour later I had whipped out some spare needles and was casting on. Instead of just making any old thing, I semi-justified this misbehavior by deciding to write a new pattern to release after the holidays. Even though I abandoned my immediate to-do list, I was still being productive for my business so it's okay, right?
On another note - after I assembled this post, I came across this article: Too Many Ideas in your Mind? Let Your Hyper Creative Mind To Achieve Success. Very convenient timing, no? I lost the hyper-creativity battle this time around, but maybe this will help me stay focused until January. If you read it, I'd love to know what you think!

Readers weigh in on how secure their jobs are in the 2010 Salary Survey.
Nearly half of respondents -- 49% (800) -- believe there's a very slight chance that they will be laid off or fired within in the next two years, while an additional 10% (170) think there's no chance at all. About 31% (509) expect there's a moderate chance of being fired or laid off within that period of time. These results mark a 2% improvement from last year. Only 6% (99) think layoffs or firings are likely and 4% (63) believe they're very likely (Figure 1).
How the Data Were Gathered
A total of 1,827 respondents participated in this year's survey. That's second only to 2007 when 1,830 people answered our questions.
Since mid-January, respondents accessed the survey questionnaire via a link listed in the print edition of Chemical Processing, on the www.ChemicalProcessing.com Web site, and in e-newsletters and e-mail blasts sent to readers. Additionally, those who follow Chemical Processing on Twitter at Chem_Processing and Facebook at Chemical Processing Magazine were also encouraged to participate.

le nounours + teddy bears spotted in France (photos)
Thursday, April 04, 2013
Pooh Bear, you've got competition in France. Share today's "extra" edition with a Teddy Bear lover.
le nounours (noo-noorce)
: teddy bear
Word origin: Nounours--from un ours (en peluche), or a "stuffed bear," is French baby talk. See a list of French Baby Talk here.
Audio File:
Download MP3 orUn nounours c'est un câlin à quatre pattes.
A teddy is a cuddle with paws at the end. (Gill Davies)
Pronounce It Perfectly in French - with exercises in sound discrimination and accurate sound creation. Order your copy here.
When I was little, at the hospital getting my tonsils out, my stepfather (we'll call him that, as Dick was a big part of my childhood, even if Mom never married him) brought me a giant teddy bear. Only, when Dick learned that the little girl sharing my room was dying, he gave her the big teddy bear. (He gave me another, on his next hospital visit.)
My would-be stepfather passed away several years ago, but I will never forget his gesture. From then on, teddy bears were BIG in my life and that seed of empathy grew and grew.
"Teddy, Resurrected". This yellow nounours, seemingly rescued from the municipal trash, was given to my mom by a villager in Les Arcs-sur-Argens. As you can see, I swiped it from Jules....
We all need to vent sometimes. Go ahead, air your teddy laundry! (Can't remember where this picture was taken... Not too far from Sainte Cécile.)
Longing to go out and play.... A teddy reminder that we might stop what we are doing, for a moment, and get out for some fresh air. Solutions come and problems seems to solve themselves... with the help of a little fresh air.
(A second reminder to get up and get out for some fresh air. You needed that second reminder, didn't you?)
Teddy Bears hanging out in Les Baux de Provence. And thanks for hanging out with me, dear readers, for a few moments this Thursday morning.... I needed to concentrate on something besides the pounding and sawing and crumbling going on around here this morning.
Did you ever have a teddy bear? When's the last time you gave someone a nounours? Comment here. My friend Kate gave me two last time I saw her. I shook my head, "It's been years..." I thought, and my thoughts skipped off, right down memory lane.

- Listing #OR19239120
190 ACRE RANCH RICH WITH HISTORY. Created under a Spanish land Grant before California was a State. There are remnants of gold mines from the gold rush days (mineral rights still run with the ranch), a stage coach stop, and is rich in Native American and early Western history. Several movies were filmed on the ranch including, "The Outlaw Josey Wales†(1976) with Clint Eastwood, and "Ishi, Last of his Tribe†with Dennis Weaver (1978) when you're on this unique wooded ranch property you would think you were a thousand miles from nowhere. The exceptional location is unusual for such a pristine large all natural parcel of land. It's private yet close to major amenities such as Lake Oroville, feather river and table mountain.The topography is primarily gentle rolling hills with a year round running stream. There are a couple of ponds along the stream corridor, and an irrigation ditch, all providing righted water to the property. The ranch land is tree covered with native oak along with a few scattered pines and there are several small meadows. It probably appears the same today as it did 100 years ago! The ranch consists of four parcels totaling approximately 190 acres. It's many possibilities for best uses include creating your private family ranch compound, developing a wellness sanctuary, nature preserve, or building your legacy retreat. It is ideal land for a first class equestrian facility, organic farm with a variety of livestock, or whatever suits your needs.

UPM Autonomous Systems Laboratory
Perception, Action & Thought
We all realise that the number of publications in the field of cognitive science
is continuously growing. This makes the task of getting a state-of-the-art
picture of the field an impossible task for any normal human.
We feel the need for simplification and focusing. We believe that the pursuit
of the ultimate understanding of mind shall be easier if we are able to get rid
of the decorative literature. While that kind of text usually embellishes
the many insights on the nature of mind, a narrower focus on the very core
issues is absolutely necessary. Succinctness becomes a major target.
Hence, in the old way of the hard sciences, we strive for terse formalisations
that will minimise the need of ink and paper and will hopefully convey precise,
non-interpretable expressions of theories or hypotheses on mind nature.
If we are successful in this simplifying and focusing attempt, then there will be
a single journal in the reading pile.

The printer
Did you ever think that your printer has a mind of its own? The first problem we had was when we first bought our computer the old computer didn't work with it. So we went out and bought a new printer which the new printer likes to work one minute on command then the next it doesn't. After having the new printer for about two months we found a download online that will let our old printer work with the new computer. Needless to say I took that new printer and booted it to the curve.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Powered by a big first half, the Georgia College Women's Basketball team (2-5, 1-1 PBC) beat Augusta University 66-56 for the Bobcats' first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) win of the young season.
Senior power led the way, as three of the four double-digit scorers are in their final seasons as Bobcats. First-year senior Jasmine McSwain (Marietta) led Georgia College with 14 points, her fifth-straight game with double-digit scoring. She yanked down seven boards and pulled in three steals as well.
Senior Shay Tarver (Covington) added 13 points off the bench, the guard seeing her first action after missing earlier games with an injury. She did nearly half of her damage at the free-throw line, hitting all six of her attempts. Classmate Erin Drynan (Chicago, Illinois) had her first double-double of the year and the seventh of her two-year Bobcat career. She hit for 12 points and 12 rebounds, including seven on the offensive glass.
Rookie Harper Vick (Marietta) had 10 points, five rebounds and four assists to help the cause, her third double-digit scoring effort, all as a reserve.
The Bobcats led 11-9 at the end of the first quarter and 32-24 at the end of the half. The Bobcats made their final six free throw attempts to close out the game in style.
Georgia College demolished the Jaguars in rebounds 44-28, controlled points in the paint 32-16 and got more bench points 34-6.
The Bobcats are back in action Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 5:30 p.m., traveling to Lander University.

Getting Quotes for Home Improvement in Tulsa, Oklahoma
After years of paying on a mortgage and finally settling the debt, the homeowner is ready to think about some Home Improvement in Tulsa Oklahoma. The key is to determine what needs to be done and in what order. Here are some tips that will help with the process. The First Pass at the Laundry List Rather than trying to get too detailed at first, it helps to create a basic laundry list of what needs to be done around the house. Do not try to list them in any particular order. Instead, place an item on the list as it comes to mind.
One way to help with the process is to walk through the home with a pad and a pen in hand. When noticing anything that needs repair or replacement, jot it down on the pad. After making a complete circuit inside the house, go outside and see if there is anything that needs to be done to the exterior walls, the roof, or the gutter system. Prioritizing the List After identifying everything that should be done in the way of Home Improvement in Tulsa Oklahoma, the time has arrived to begin setting priorities. Using that random laundry list, begin to rank all the items in order of importance. Assuming the home is in generally good shape, and there is no immediate need to address any of the items, the arrangement of those items can be completely subjective. Assessing the Cost With a credible list in place, homeowners can move on to obtaining prices for each of those line items.
This is accomplished by having professionals visit the home and offer quotes for the work owners want done. Assuming the quotes are reasonable and the work can commence in a time frame that is acceptable, the owner can go ahead with making definite arrangements. For people who would like to learn more about general home improvement options, Click here and look over all the possibilities. Doing so can provide inspiration and also some information that helps owners realize that some of the projects they have in mind are more affordable than they may think.

Special Content: Repraps for EducationThis is part of a series of posts about starting and facilitating a project-based 3D printer club at a local elementary school, with the ultimate goal of replicating the program at schools everywhere. We'll be posting as many details as possible, including lesson plans and supporting materials. For more information about the entire project, including a listing of posts related to it, please visit the 3D Printer Club for Schools project page.
The 3D Printer CLub was announced to day at an all-school meeting to great interest and enthusiastic applause! The promotional video was shown, and many of the scenes with 3D printed objects got oohs and ahs. The director of the school came up to talk a bit about the club idea, and the kids seemed particularly excited about the "pay it forward" component, reacting with cheers and applause. By all measures, it was a great success!

Our manufacturing clients are progressive and embrace change. They care about sustainability and are continuously advancing technology to create a better world.
The manufacturer's guide to driving more business impact in B2B marketing
The only way to derive more meaningful PR metrics is to get PR out of its silo in earned media. In this e-book, you'll learn what's standing in the way of integrating PR and making it more measurable, and how to overcome those challenges to maximize the impact of PR and build enduring brand trust.
Expectations are higher than ever.
Executives are demanding better, more tangible results from marketing. But resources to get the job done remain the same and your company doesn't have the infrastructure necessary for success. You need a pragmatic approach.
Take marketing to the next level.
Make your PR program work harder. Deploy targeted techniques. Integrate marketing efforts. Align with sales. Increase thought leadership. Garner greater awareness and engagement. Drive high-quality sales leads.
"Manufacturing brands unintentionally hide their greatest value behind product specs and technical jargon. We'll make sure your customers don't have to hunt for the benefit of your offering. The last thing you need is your marketing to be working against you."
Stephani Simon, Inprela President and Manufacturing Practice Leader
Manufacturing Client Successes
Inprela made PR a top business driver for the 3D printing service bureau, leveraging an original research report as part of a lead-gen content marketing program.
Develop focused chiller line awareness campaign that became top driver for company's rep locator.
Expanded thought leadership and awareness in the healthcare and architectural markets with key audiences and decision makers.
Deployed an end user content marketing program that showcased unique adhesive technology by detailing applications, not the adhesive itself.
Across 3M industries we have helped establish leadership, influence regulatory changes and introduced many innovative products to market.
Drive awareness of unique technology offering with compelling storytelling deployed through earned media.
Created broad awareness of the company's rebrand and developed stories that support the brand focus of advancing HVAC technologies. This includes introducing the first HVAC equipment that incorporates the Internet of Things, an especially advanced concept for this category.
Enhanced lead generation efforts through a content marketing strategy that places emphasis on the key points of differentiation, company focus and a strong, unique value proposition.
Support lead capture for disruptive product through expanded digital presence and smart audience targeting.
What's it like to work with us?
Manufacturing is evolving.
Marketing needs to keep pace.
As manufacturers take a fresh approach to attract younger audiences, it's creating new and unforeseen challenges. Social engagement and mobile marketing are changing customer expectations, forcing manufacturers to keep pace with consumer marketing strategies.

Today Australia's telecommunications market is strongly contested. Competitors with highly skilled, experienced and focused marketing teams battle for market position, market share and profit growth. This has not always been so. Historically Telecom Australia's predominantly engineering culture believed that it only needed a nominal marketing department and no sales force. This is a brief story of the building of a new sales force over the first five years. After five years the "subscribers" were more widely addressed and treated as "customers" but it was to be at least another six years before the company made the customers the focus of the business.
