Nova Commercial Finance revises how it markets the business
Commercial lending is a very challenging environment for many business owners. Nova Commercial Finance is a valuable service to businesses that want an alternative to the big banks and a more supportive environment where they can be advised, at no upfront cost, on their best options for the type of finance they need for their business. Alex Heylings, the founder, had invested over 2 years of effort in research and development of the FCA authorised Finance Brokerage business when he approached Enterprising Macclesfield for guidance on marketing the business. Nova Commercial Finance was established to connect local small business owners with the growing number of alternative finance providers. With a strong background in commercial finance, having previously worked for one of the large UK banks, Alex successfully setup partnerships with over 200 commercial lenders and navigated his business through the complex FCA compliance requirements. Having put the delivery engine of the business in place, the next step involved identifying and generating demand for his services in the local market.
Support Delivered:
Enterprising Macclesfield undertook an initial diagnostic session to understand Nova Commercial Finance's key goals and to establish the key issues that needed to be addressed in order to sustain a successful business. The business was just at the stage where it would potentially be investing a lot of money in marketing the business and this was regarded as a high priority area to focus support on. Enterprising Macclesfield's Local Advisory Partner in sales & marketing, Ray Clarke, Director at Shaping Business was appointed to provide a complimentary advice session.
The advisory session focused on three critical aspects to optimise Nova Commercial Finance's investment in marketing the business. The first key area was establishing a laser focus on the target market and helping Alex to define his 'ideal' clients. Using these client profiles then enabled a more focused discussion about how Nova Commercial Finance could identify channels to access these potential clients. Finally the session finished with a focus on the business website and how that could be improved by communicating more directly to the different client needs that Alex identified for each of the client profiles that emerged.
Key achievements:
As a result of the support from Enterprising Macclesfield, Nova Commercial Finance redirected marketing expenditure which had been planned into more focused marketing opportunities. In addition, the business successfully revised key marketing messages to focus more on how Nova Commercial Finance can address specific client needs. This included realigning the website around his target markets and focusing his service offers to be more relevant to each market.
"The advice we received through the Enterprising Macclesfield programme was excellent. It definitely helped us to focus our message better and has certainly saved us from wasting time and our marketing budget in areas where we were unlikely to see a return on investment" said Alex Heylings, Managing Director of Nova Commercial Finance.

Isabelle van Keulen Ensemble
Isabelle van Keulen is a top-notch violinist. She performs in the most famous concert halls all over the world, concurrently recording one exceptional CD after the other. Recently she managed to complete an entirely new project that she had been dreaming about since her early youth: a CD recording and a tour with music by the Argentine tango musician, bandoneon player and composer Astor Piazolla (1921-1992).
Van Keulen first discovered Piazolla's works when she was about six years old. When her mother gave her an LP with Piazolla's best-known pieces she was immediately entranced by them. Tango! is therefore a long cherished dream come true. The Isabelle van Keulen Ensemble, especially founded for this purpose, plays Piazolla's music to perfection: unpolished, raw and naked. From heart to heart.

Biodiversity is one of the core identities of Staten Island, New York. Yet this element is missing in Stapleton. si_[amped]_ecotone reimagines new ways of integrating wildlife into the human settlement. The prototypes at three selected sites serve as guidelines for future wildlife and human co-dwelling urbanism in multiple scales.
Due to urban sprawl, Staten Island has lost a significant amount of wildlife habitat in the last century. The regional geological analysis provides an in-depth investigation of the wildlife habitat conditions and encapsulates a list of ingredients needed for wildlife to thrive.
Underused infrastructure and pocket space that are not pleasant for human to inhabit are often ideal environments for other wildlife to flourish. The project argues that connecting these preserved, regulated and designed pockets with green corridors can effectively increase the variability of living organisms at Stapleton, Staten Island.
The core concept of si_[amped]_ecotone also challenges how we, as human, define our relationship with wildlife in urban development, not only physically but psychologically. Derives from the conventional model where nature reserves, zoos, and individual housings provide shelter for animals and plants, the project creates new physical architectural and urban design treatments that echo the significance of co-living with wildlife.

There's a lot to do while the sun's still out this First Friday in downtown Anchorage with events starting as early as 4 p.m.
The Bagel Factory will continue to host watercolor and mixed media. Three artists from the Alaska Watercolor Society will showcase their work for August's First Friday. The paintings will hang throughout August and a reception will be held from 5-7 p.m.
"My work is all about color and the interaction between shadow and light. I have been an artist for many years but only in the last five or six years have I really concentrated on watercolor," Rivka Chana Zorea, one of the chosen artists for the coming First Friday at the Bagel Factory, said.
The Bagel Factory is located at 142 W. 34th Ave.
For more watercolor, 2 Friends Gallery at 341 E. Benson Blvd will have the Alaska Watercolor Society's 44th Annual Juried Watercolor Exhibition. A meet-and-greet of the artists as well as some refreshments will be at this event from 5-7 p.m.
625 C St. is home to the Anchorage Museum, hosting an array of music, refreshments and more. From 6-8 p.m., over 100 Anchorage School District students will present their works of art through spoken word, photography and more, all on the topic of social justice and innovative solutions.
In the planetarium at the museum at 7:30 p.m., LA-based artist and composer Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs will play a live show for Anchoragites. The show costs $15, but there's a ten percent discount for Museum members.
Even the elevators at the museum will be filled with entertainment as Michael Howard and Caroline Cotter perform original duets while guests go to visit different events.
At Great Harvest Bread Co., quilts will be displayed and on sale for all of August. The quilts are made by Nan's Group, a group who create and sell quilts and put the proceeds toward a charity. The proceeds this time will go to Alaska Chapter of Newborns in Need, a non-profit that supplies baby-care items to mothers who do not have anything for their newborn.
"The quilts are not made from traditional patterns. Art quilts, scrap quilts and improvisational designs might be suitable descriptors," Nancy Sopp said. Sopp is a member of Nan's Group, the coordinator of the showings and an adjunct German professor at UAA.
Great Harvest will hold a reception from 4-6 p.m.
Making a really good joke can be a form art. The Hard Rock Cafe Anchorage hosts a new line of comedians every First Friday for a free showing for those 21 years old and over. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. It's followed by a comedy open mic at 9:30 p.m., 415 E St. A $5 donation is suggested.
The Midnight Sun Cafe will host photography showcasing Alaska's beauty from Heather Stewman and Satrina Hillard Lord at 245 W. 5th Ave, Ste 106, 5 – 7 p.m.
Sparc: a creative place, a gallery and studio for clients of The Arc of Anchorage, will have an "under the sea" themed art gallery from their artists on display and music from DJs starting at 5:30 p.m., 425 D St.
Graphic design artist Annie Brace, owner of Corso Graphics, will have her original prints, paintings, vinyl stickers, Alaska-themed coloring books and greeting cards, just to name a few, at Snow City Cafe for First Friday-goers to check out and purchase. The Cafe is at 1034 W. 4th Ave and will have a First Friday welcoming from 5:30-8 p.m.
Brace has been a part of First Friday at Snow City Cafe a few years ago and was "honored" to be invited back. She keeps busy running her own company, fulfilling a dream.
"Creating art refills my tank like not much else can. When that art inadvertently fills someone else's tank, well, that's the cherry on top. Supporting the arts is supporting a dream and for that, I am forever indebted," Brace said.
There are plenty of ways to support local artists and galleries for Anchorage's First Friday, Aug. 3.

Renewable energy is any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal or PV), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). While the specs for renewables are still being ironed out in this project, the upshot is that it will not in any way depend on petroleum to function.
Seizing America's Renewable Energy Future: Getting to 100% Renewable
with Martin O'Malley
In this webinar, Governor Martin O'Malley outlines a plan to take the U.S. to 100% renewable energy by 2050, using a blend of advanced clean technologies, energy efficiency, and enhanced policy. O'Malley will explore the business opportunities that our changing climate is presenting, and how we can leverage renewable energy to drive positive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance our health and security.

Here are the eco-landmarks we navigate by as we create this sustainable enclave.
|Energy Efficiency Off-the-grid living demands the ultimate in energy-efficient products. Here's what we picked.
|Renewables Dependence on petroleum is dead; instead, we use these easy-on-the-environment technologies.
|Water and Resource Conservation Natural resources are finite. Here are the techniques and products we use to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
|Indoor Air Quality Healthy buildings mean healthy people. We spec'd products that make the indoors as fresh as the meadow air surrounding us.
|Smart Technology We harness smart tech that will make life simpler and help us be more sustainable.
|Durability See which building science practices and green products hold up to the harsh realities of high-altitude living.
|Resilient Housing Disaster can strike anywhere. Techniques and products can help buffer buildings from these assaults.
|Multifunctional Living Spaces We designed spaces that morph and accommodate more than one function.
|Onsite Food Production Fresh food grown on site is the healthiest and most green way to go (not to mention tastiest!) Here are some notes from the high-altitude larder.
|Indoor/Outdoor Living New products and design conceits blur the lines between shelter and the soul-healing outdoors.
|Wildlife Protection Wildlife conservation means protecting all plant and animal species and their habitats so nature will be around for future generations to enjoy. Here's how we address this important concept.

Journal Editor Kent Walz
and school board candidate
Marty Esquivel are not
unknown to each other.
Most recently, they worked together to bamboozle the NM FOG Board of Directors into giving APS Supt and bully Winston Brooks, their Dixon Award, for his service as a "champion of transparency".
There is the appearance of a conflict of interest; on the one hand, as a Journalist, Walz has the obligation to fully inform voters in anticipation of an election.
On the other hand, he's one of the good ol' boys, and they cover each others' asses.
As a candidate for a seat on the school board, Esquivel can expect to be asked some questions. He should expect to be expected to answer candidly, forthrightly, and honestly.
It doesn't make any difference who asks a legitimate question or, why.
It simply matters that the question is legitimate.
Is he willing to tell the truth at all? Will he raise his right hand and promise to tell the truth, the whole ethically redacted truth, and nothing but the truth? about the public interests and about his public service?
1. Are you willing to be held honestly accountable as a role model of the standards of conduct you establish and enforce upon students; for even those few hours a day you hold them accountable to them? Will you hold yourself honestly accountable as a role model of the Pillars of Character Counts? the nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct unanimously adopted by the board, as the APS student standards of conduct?
2. Are you willing to give whistle blower complaints the due process promised by School Board Policy; the review and approval of individual complaints by the School Board's Audit Committee?
3. Are you willing to tell stakeholders, the ethically redacted truth about the public corruption in the APS Police Department?
Esquivel does not intend to answer these questions, and
Kent Walz does not intend to ask them.
Esquivel has ordered his Praetorian Guard to arrest me
if I try to ask them, and there we are.
No questions, no problems.
Mark Twain first advised;
never pick a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel.As a corollary;
When running for school board, it never hurts to know a man who buys his ink by the barrel, and isn't opposed to letting it stay there.

With over 36,000 members, it is one of the largest professional associations for healthcare. After the outdated private branch exchange was given a bad diagnosis, the association now relies on a Swisscom Managed Communications & Collaboration solution.
All employees of the FMH now use standardised communications tools. They communicate via e-mail, phone, instant messaging, desktop sharing or audio- and video conferences, as required. The highlight: besides the terminal equipment, the FMH sites no longer have a communications infrastructure. All services and applications are procured from redundant Swisscom servers. Strong support and services are also provided by Swisscom.
The FMH employees work in their familiar Microsoft environment. They can access all business contacts and daily data of the electronic subscriber directory from any location. High availability and security are features of the managed solution.

Parallel Looping Constructs in Java (revisited)

Copper&Todd avait besoin d'un nouveau design de Autre et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 98 designs proposés par 14 designers freelance.
Copper and Todd LLC
We create moments and products that allow pet parents to communicate their love for their pets in ways that dogs biologically and naturally understand. Our first product is a High Quality Dog Bed with a Pocket to add a piece of human clothing and the ability to remove the bolsters of the bed.
Our target market is the following:
Millennials - Age 24-32
$50,000 plus income
Dog Owner
The design needs to stay simple like it is now. So no checkered or stripes. Two-tone gray and some small color accent either as seams or a strip as in the attachments. I would like to recolor the Bed (see attachment) to best fit our target market. I want it to look modern, with subtle two-tones of gray (similar to now) and some small pattern or accent color. The light gray on the current bed needs to be a few shades darker. I want to make sure the pocket feature stands out which is why there is a strip/orange seam in the attached images. I'm open to any accent color that looks clean, premium, and fits our target market.
Also, I'd like to have a vector design completed with the new color scheme.
2 attachments:
One with the orange strip was our first build.
Second image was me covering up the strip and placing yarn to see what a seam with no strip color would look like.
You can see from the pictures the colors are placed in a way to accent and also call attention to the pocket.

Mouth-watering dishes to try in each region
By Claire Baranowski
While many well-known Spanish dishes – such as paella, Spanish omelette and gazpacho – are eaten across the country, there are other regional delicacies that shouldn't be missed. Here's a breakdown of what to eat and where best to enjoy them. Oh, and a word of advice: the Spanish tend to eat late, so it's best to get into the habit as well – many restaurants usually only open around 8 pm at night.
Tapas and gazpacho in Andalusia
Gazpacho, a refreshing soup made with raw tomatoes, garlic, bread, bell pepper and cucumber
Gazpacho, a refreshing soup made with raw tomatoes, garlic, bread, bell pepper and cucumber, originated in Andalusia and is usually served chilled in small glasses.
Seville is famous for its tapas, small plates of bar snacks, which can range from the simple – such as a slice of jamón (cured ham) on bread – to extravagant gourmet creations. In Granada, it's customary for tapas to be served free of charge with a drink and is usually something simple and fresh from the kitchen.
In Cadiz and Malaga, deep-fried fish is the order of the day, from boquerones (anchovies) to prawns (gambas) and sardines (sardinas).
Rice dishes in Valencia
Paella was invented in the city of Valencia and is traditionally eaten on Sundays
Paella was invented in the city of Valencia and is traditionally eaten on Sundays. The classic version is paella valenciana, served with chicken, rabbit, vegetables and sometimes snails, but paella de Marisco, made with seafood, is also popular.
A popular afternoon drink is horchata, which looks like a milkshake and is made with the highly nutritious tiger nut (which is actually a tuber) and served with sugar-glazed pastries called fartons.
Catalan cuisine in Barcelona
Don't miss crema catalana for dessert, the Spanish version of crème brûlée
Authentic Catalan specialties include botifarra, a traditional spiced sausage; esqueixada, a salad with salted cod, tomatoes, onions and olives; and suquet de peix, a fish stew flavoured with saffron.
Other dishes you'll find more widely include pan con tomate, bread rubbed with raw garlic, ripe tomato and olive oil, and jamón, air-dried cured ham. Don't miss crema catalana for dessert, the Spanish version of crème brûlée.
Hearty seafood dishes in Galicia
Pimientos de padrón are small fried green peppers sprinkled with salt
As you'd expect from a province bordered by the Atlantic, Galicia has terrific seafood dishes – such as mariscada Gallega, a mixed shellfish platter, or pulpo a la Gallega, boiled octopus sprinkled with paprika and served with slices of potato.
Pimientos de padrón are small fried green peppers sprinkled with salt. They're usually sweet but you may come across the occasional fiery one. For dessert, try tarte de Santiago, an almond sponge cake topped with powdered sugar.
Gourmet dining in the Basque Country
The region's take on tapas, called pintxos, are an experience in themselves
This mountainous region in the north has some of the best food in Spain, particularly in San Sebastian, a city with more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else in the country.
You don't have to spend a fortune to eat well, however – the region's take on tapas, called pintxos, are an experience in themselves. Found either on plates heaped on top of bar counters or ordered from the menu, these delectable morsels give you a chance to try a bit of everything.
For a truly authentic experience, visit a Basque cider house. Found in the hills just outside the city, these traditional taverns serve cider out of large barrels along with a hearty meal – salt cod omelette to start, followed by fried salt cod with a garlic sauce, an enormous chargrilled steak, and local cheese, quince jelly and walnuts to finish.

Having completed my Diploma in Nursing and then Bachelor of Nursing many years ago, I felt I needed to explore my knowledge of nursing at a higher professional level. I applied for a promotion at work (Advanced Nurse Practitioner) and the Advanced Practice Masters seemed to accompany the level I was working at.
I thoroughly enjoyed my previous Diploma and Degree work at Stirling and felt an affinity to the campus and the staff who have helped me in the past. The modules sounded interesting and dynamic and the option of distance learning fitted in to my personal and work balance.
Having been away from further education for over 10 years, I was anxious about getting back to studying and being a student again. The staff who coordinate and teach the modules are so enthusiastic and helpful that I felt completely at ease.
During the modules, I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with other professionals through the on-line forums and discussion opportunities. Although we are all distance learning from varying specialities and countries, I never felt alone and was welcomed into the groups and made to feel part of a team. This made for a good balance of theory and discussion and encouraged us to reflect on our own areas of practice more readily.
On completion of my Masters in Advanced Practice, I feel the programme will give me a broader grounding in my profession and helped me to draw on skills and knowledge which I have taken for granted previously. The course encourages us to question our practice and improve it by research and evaluation. This is a key skill in any workplace environment.
Stirling is a fantastic place to study, I am now on my third programme of study here spanning almost 20 years on completion! It is a friendly and beautiful campus with enthusiastic and innovative staff.
It has been hard work returning to study, however, this has encouraged me to look at my practice in a new light and hope others will follow.

A Baseball Dream
Click here to listen to my interview with Malcolm MacMillan. We discuss highlights to visiting various major and minor league ballparks, as well as the current pitching situation with the Toronto Blue Jays.
For many baseball fans it's a dream. Some never realize it. Some chip away at it, year by year. Some accomplish it all in one big season. I'm talking of course about seeing a baseball game in each of the 30 major league ballparks. There's something exciting and special about visiting a new (to you) stadium. After all, baseball is one of those rare sports where each venue is somewhat different. Different field dimensions allow teams to make a statement – to be unique. As an example, Yankee Stadium has the short porch in right field, a mere 314 feet away, heavily favourable to left-handed pull-hitters. The same right field in Fenway, "Pesky's Pole" measures a mere 302 feet from home plate, and hitters in Chicago's Wrigley Field have to muscle-up to hit a shot in right, a good 353 feet away. If you start examining various centre field designs, each features various quirks, such as Houston's Minute Maid Park which has Tal's Hill, a 30 degree incline (which reminds me of some of the local fields I play on) toward the wall, complete with a flag pole in play. Each stadium has various other attractions beyond field dimensions, too many worth noting here.
When one starts researching, possibly planning a road trip, there comes the "ah-ha" moment, realizing that there are way more minor league ball parks, many also worth visiting and each with their own unique attractions (plus tickets are always more affordable). In a recent interview, I caught up with Malcolm MacMillan, the owner of www.theballparkguide.com, who to date has visited 53 major and minor league parks, writing a review on each and making notes for fans on what not to miss. Listen to the interview here.
Back in 2008, I was fortunate to take a road trip to New York, and see one of the last games in old Yankee Stadium. Even more fortunate for me, was that it was a Jays-Yankees game in which the Jays won. It was hard not to feel nostalgic, thinking about how many legends had graced that field over so many years. I wasn't the only one feeling emotional, I noted, as following the game more than several Yankee fans could be seen with tears streaming down their faces. While I wanted to believe it was due to the tough loss my Jays had just handed their home team, it was more likely as a result of the realization that a stadium where they had formed many wonderful memories over the years was soon to be reduced to dust. Sadly, this is the inevitable fate of most parks. Fenway has been around for over 100 years, and while traditionalists would like to think it will stand for 100 more, that is not likely. All good things must come to an end eventually. So why not plan a road trip this summer, and visit some of these beautiful structures while you still can? The parks may not last forever, but the memories will last a lifetime.

Meeting Jesse Barfield – My Most Embarrassing Moment as a Fan
For many kids, when you fall in love with the game of baseball you have your favourite players, and maybe even a hero. Growing up a Blue Jays fan in the 80's, you could pretty much take your pick from the roster for great players. My favourite was Jesse Barfield.
Jesse was a gold glove winner ('86 & '87), an All-Star in 1986, and had a heck of an arm from right field. He was an exciting player to watch, he hit big home runs, and had charisma (today we'd call that swagger).
This past summer (2012) my younger brother Kyle and I had an opportunity to meet Bell, Moseby, and Barfield at an autograph signing at the Eaton Centre in Toronto. I wanted to think of something special to have signed by arguably the best outfield the Jays have ever had, and after much deliberation, decided on a program from 1985:
You see, it had to be something much more special than a baseball card (although I love my autographed Pat Borders card) or a baseball hat (although I love my autographed Joe Carter hat). As I was going through my various Blue Jays collectibles, I came across something unique and special. It was a baseball card in a plastic holder, from a Jays-Yankees game, Sept. 17th, 1990. The case reads "I helped break the Major League attendance record". I started reminiscing about the game, and remembered it well (surprising since I was only 10 years old when I attended that game). I remembered sitting down the third base line in the 100-level (tickets were only $15 then!). I remember much of my family attending. And I had a distinct memory of Jesse Barfield hitting a home run that game…while wearing a Yankee uniform (he had been traded the season prior). I checked online, and sure enough my memory served correctly. While I still had my mind set on having the program signed, I decided to bring the ticket along anyway (as well as a few baseball cards – more on this later).
Kyle and I lined up on Yonge street, and just made it inside the Jays Shop before they stopped letting people in. Now here's the important thing to remember about this story: there was a very strict rule about having ONE autograph per player. It totally makes sense, they want to get through as many fans as possible.
The guys were sitting behind tables, George Bell signing first. We made small talk, but George was already talking to the other guys about getting some Chinese food afterwards. My brother followed me, and pulled a clock out of his bag to get signed. Bell seemed impressed with the clock.
The Shaker was next. We talked golf a bit. He was quiet and polite, as you would expect Moseby to be.
Then I got to Barfield. He signed the program and we started chatting. I pulled out the ticket and started talking about the game. His eyes lit up, and he said "I remember that game, I hit a home run off Stottlemyre". He then commented that he got nothing to hit the rest of the game (I checked online, sure enough he had four walks that game). Jesse said "take that ticket out of the case, let me sign it for you".
Now, all I had to do was say thank you and walk away. I had already exceeded the autograph quota. Had a great conversation with a Jays All-Star. My favourite player. But obviously I didn't just walk away. Otherwise there wouldn't be an embarrassing story here, would there?
Remember those baseball cards I mentioned? At this point I thought it would be a good idea to pull them out. But not to get signed. I had to ask Jesse if he had really said what was quoted on the back of the card. Ok, let me back-track a bit.
When I was in Grade one, I started collecting baseball cards. My mom's friend's husband (are you still following?) was a local firefighter. In the mid 1980's, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up with the Toronto Star and a couple other organizations to produce Blue Jays cards. And on the back of the cards, were fire safety tips incorporating baseball terms. And they were REALLY CHEESY. For example: FIRE SAFETY TIP – Lloyd Moseby says: "Don't foul your outlets by using too many extension cords." George Bell says: "Don't get caught out in left field. Be sure you plan your escape." And my favourite, Jesse Barfield says: "Be defensive against fire…And win a gold glove." What? There's no way Jesse said that. I wanted to ask him if he actually said that. I mean, it was only 26 years ago. Of course he would remember. Really, I just wanted to tease him a bit. I mean, we were practically best buddies at this point…
Only, as I started to read the quote on the back of the card, three things happened:
1. My brother who had patiently been waiting his turn, put the clock down in front of Jesse, who said "Wow that's a really cool clock man". Instantly distracted and now not listening.
2. George Bell started yelling at Jesse, "Dude you're holding up the line! It's lunch time. Hurry up Jesse!"
3. A lady with a clip board (yes, a clip board!) stepped in towards me and said, "Sorry sir, it's a one-autograph maximum. I'm going to have to ask you to move along."
I immediately looked like the crazy dude who brought his entire baseball collection to get signed. And it doesn't matter what you say, or what your intentions are. When a woman with a clip board asks you to "move along", you instantly look like a doofus. I think when I asked Jesse if he had "actually said that?", his response was "I don't know man". He clearly hadn't even heard what the crazy guy with the baseball cards was muttering about.
My brother's clock that everyone loved. I must admit, it's a pretty awesome clock.
I'm not sure what the moral of the story is here. Maybe you can tell me what you think it is. I just hope that one day I get to chat with Jesse again, this time while holding a microphone and doing an interview. Maybe I'll even ask him for some fire safety tips. Besides, I've discovered people pay way more attention to you when you hold a mic…but you're not even reading this now are you? You're still busy looking at that damn clock.

Talking Point
Will Trump tariffs spell curtains for the Canadian auto industry?
The automotive industries of many countries will be severely impacted by Donald Trump's punitive tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium to the United States. One nation which might suffer more than most is Canada. Following the recent G7 meeting, Trump announced - by Twitter, of course - that he would also be imposing a 25% tariff on auto imports from his northern neighbour. The last ten years have not been happy ones for the Canadian automotive industry. The recession of 2008 hit Canada hard. Windsor, Ontario, a small city just across the Detroit river from the U.S., has long been synonymous with a once-thriving auto industry. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler all had manufacturing facilities there. Since 2010, however, GM has ceased its Windsor operations and Ford now has only two engine plants in the city, albeit employing some 2,300 workers. The city's largest employer today is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with around 6,000 workers. Now, its future must also be in doubt if Trump implements his threat.
The importance of the U.S. market to Canada's automotive sector should not be overstated. In 2016, 96% of the country's vehicle exports went to its southern neighbour. Add in the 90% of total exported automotive parts which also crossed the border and you get an idea of how significant the U.S. market is to the Canadian auto sector. In the province of Ontario, over 140,000 people rely on the sector for their livelihoods, directly or indirectly. I was in Windsor a couple of months ago and saw for myself just how critical auto manufacturing is to the city's continued well-being. Although the city fathers are making efforts to diversify into other industries, the FCA and Ford facilities are the generators of Windsor's life blood.
When OEMs make future planning decisions, it doesn't happen overnight. Usually, these critical decisions are taken years in advance. The same holds good for the United Kingdom which is still mired in Brexit uncertainty. In a highly competitive industry such as automotive, it would take a massive leap of faith for an OEM to commit to continued production when the future horizon is obscured by storm clouds. Just last week, BMW's Ian Robertson issued a warning regarding the future of the carmaker's MINI plant in Oxford if a no-deal Brexit came into being. The same thoughts must be troubling many of Canada's automotive companies. Think again Mr. Trump.

Wow. School's almost over and I'm almost done with this sort of stuff. It's really been hard for me to try. I mean, this year I've barely tried at all. But now since it's April, school is over for me. It's done and through. I'm just waiting for my tickets out of here to get finished printing, so-to-speak.
I launched a clothing company, but who knows how that will go. Hopefully well. Still working out the prices and such, but it's getting closer and closer to being done.
My mom doesn't want me working past June 30 — I can't say I blame her. I probably need some time to chill out and get ready for what I'm going to do. I mean, as much as I need the money for all sorts of things, I don't know if I can handle another repeat of last year (where I was longing for school to start because I was so busy).
It's a tricky situation. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes.

Francophone Music Criticism, 1789-1914
La critique musicale en France et dans les pays francophones, 1789-1914
The musical and theatrical press is central to our understanding of nineteenth-century musical culture. It provided a parallel universe to that of the theatre, church, café-concert and concert hall, giving its original reading public vicarious access to those same pleasures. Press criticism contains material that helps us grasp how music, dramaturgy and ballet were understood, and, with its wealth of detail on interpretation and production values, has tangible practical value on the operatic stage or in the concert hall today.
'Francophone Music Criticism, 1789-1914' responds to the importance of the press as part of a cultural history of music in a number of ways:
- The project centres on a database of digitally-edited texts, grouped in discrete collections that are made up of the collected works of a single author, the contents of a single journal, a dossier de presse of a single work, or of another coherent grouping of material. These collections are made up of newly-acquired data and the repurposing of pre-existing analogue material.
- The project is supported by around 200 scholars world-wide, linked by a JISC discussion group: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/FRENCH-MUS-CRIT.html. The JISCMAIL list is open to all interested scholars who meet annually, and usually in Paris, to present papers and to discuss the progress of the project. Links to reports, programmes and abstracts are given below.
- The project publishes a number of additional digital resources which are made available on this website here
This website provides a portal to two collections of resources for researchers interested in music criticism and in the more general musical culture of the nineteenth century in France.
- a repository of digitized, searchable reviews relating to French music and ballet in the nineteenth century. Texts are grouped into collections devoted to particular works, events, series, performers or authors, resulting in a significant corpus of texts never before available on open access. (See 'Collections' and 'Search Collections')
- bibliographical resources, work in progress and information of a more general nature, contributed by members of the Network and mounted in the hope that users will contribute updates. (See 'Collections')
The project is managed by Katharine Ellis (University of Bristol) and Mark Everist (University of Southampton). It is hosted by the Department of Music, University of Southampton.
We are an ever-expanding group of academics, librarians, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. We began with around 30 members and now number nearly 200. We run at least one international event per year. Meetings are routinely bilingual (French/English), and most frequently take place in Paris.

The point of this guide is to provide general gearing advice for different types of champions, as well as give an overview of how gear works, what each set of gear does, and why certain gear is better to use in certain situations.Skills & Scaling
To understand gear, you first have to understand what is meant by "scaling". A champion "scales" with a specific stat if its abilities are improved by that stat. For example: Athel's skills are improved by attack. However, Tayrel (high elf epic), only scales with defense. This means that attack would be a wasted stat on Tayrel. Defense would reduce the damage he takes AND increase the damage he does.
Some champions will scale off multiple stats: Crimson Helm's (dark elf epic) primary attack scales off attack AND defense.
You can check what stat your champion scales off of by reading their skills. Go to your champion page, click a champion, and click skills in the top right. Check each skill, as they may scale differently. The stat or stats your skills scale off of is your "primary stat(s)".
Scaling can sometimes be trial and error. Plarium does not post scaling ratios as some games do. In other words, increasing your attack score by 100 might increase your damage by 100. Or 50. Or 500. You can't know til you try. Don't be afraid to experiment to find the best set up!
First we'll start with an overview of the stats:
Main Stats and Substats
First we should address the stats on gear. Gear has 3 aspects: main stats, substats, and set bonus. Set bonuses will be covered in the next section. Gear can be increased up to level 16, with substats being revealed, or upgrade, at levels 4, 8, 12 and 16.
Gear's main stat is the primary one that increases with every level that you upgrade. The main stat on your weapon, helmet and shield are fixed and will always be the same. Weapon will have flat attack ("flat" means a fixed value, as compared to a % increase in that stat), helmet will have flat HP and shield will have flat defense.
Your gloves, chest, and boots can have several different main stats. Each can have flat hp, defense, attack, as well as % increases to hp, defense and attack. However, gloves can also have critical rate, or critical damage, chest can have accuracy or resistance, and boots can have speed.
Your accessories, ring, amulet and banner, also have random main stats. They can't have % increased stats as a main stat like the glove chest and boots. They all can have flat hp, defense or attack, the amulet can have critical damage, and the banner can have accuracy or resistance.
Gear also has 4 secondary stats, commonly called substats. A common (grey) piece will have all 4 of these hidden, and a new one will be revealed at level 4, 8, 12, and 16 of artifact upgrades. An uncommon (green) will have one substat revealed which will be upgraded at level 4, and then reveal a new substat at 8, 12, and 16. A rare (blue) piece will have two substats and will upgrade one of them, at random, at level 4 and 8, then reveal 2 new substats at 12 and 16. An epic (purple) will have 3 substats revealed and will upgrade one at random at 4, 8 and 12, and reveal the final substat at level 16.
Upgrades of substats are random, and an epic piece might upgrade the same substat 3 times, for example. This can be both a blessing and a curse. Upgrading the same substat 3 times can be very powerful if it's good, but if you have have 2 good substats and 1 bad one, and the bad one gets all 3 upgrades, that epic gear is now barely better than a common piece!
The star count on the gear determines how strong the various stats are. Stars are often more important than rarity, as the increase is substantial. Stars can be slightly less important on weapon, helmet and shield, especially if that stat isn't one you use (flat attack on a defense user, for example) if the substats are particularly good, but you will ultimately want 5* gear in every slot.
Please note that % increases are always better than flat increases. For example: 5* flat hp will be 3480 hp at level 16, and 5* %hp will be a 50% increase at level 16. Meaning that for anyone with more than 6960 base hp (which, as far as I know, is everyone in the game at level 60), the % increase will be better.Set Bonuses
Artifacts are divided into two kinds of sets: 2-piece and 4-piece. You should always complete a set if you have a piece equipped. 3-pieces of a 4-piece set will give you no benefit. 3-pieces of a 2-piece set will only complete one set bonus and the 3rd piece will give no extra stats.
Set bonuses are cumulative. So 3 life sets will give you a bonus 45% HP, for example.
2-piece sets
4-piece sets
Basic Set Ups
These are some sample set-ups for champions. These suggestions will not apply to every champion! The higher you go, the more nuance and niche uses you will have. These are intended as starting points and will be as general as possible:
The Attacker: Attackers generally want to do as much damage as possible. To facilitate that, you will want gloves with a crit damage% main stat, chest with attack% main stat, and boots with speed as a main stat. It is important that attackers be fast, so that they can get their turn off before they are attacked. They are often fragile and may not survive long enough to attack if they are slow.
For set bonuses, you will want to focus on critical rate or speed sets. Critical rate sets are used to get your critical rate to a sufficient level, typically you want to aim for 70% chance to crit, or more. However, as your gear improves and you get more crit rate from things like substats, you can begin to switch these sets for speed or critical damage sets. If the champion has specific effects that take place only on a crit, you may need to use crit rate gloves instead of crit damage, to make sure you get 100%. Substats you want are crit rate, crit damage, attack%, and speed. If you have debuffs, accuracy is also a good substat to get, but you shouldn't aim to have more than 80-100 accuracy in the vast majority of situations.
Defenders: Defenders are a varied lot, some are tankier than others. A basic set up would be 3x defense sets, with either crit damage % or defense % on gloves (depending on scaling), defense % on chest, and speed boots. This can vary a lot. A defense champion that needs criticals, may use crit gloves, or crit sets. One geared for arena may use a frost set. One geared for farming may use lifesteal.
HP HP Champs are similar to Defense champs, except using HP gear instead of defense. They often fulfill similar roles on teams. These champions are notably good users of shield sets. They would use HP% chest, HP% or crit damage gloves (depending on scaling) speed boots. Sets they can use life (or immortal or divine life), shield, regeneration, or crit or speed sets.
Support Not all support champs are officially labelled support! A support is a champ who is reliant on buffs or debuffs as their main contribution to the team. Supports want speed primary or survivability second. It's important they get their buffs/debuffs up before your team or the enemy team goes. Not to mention, the faster they are, the more often they get turns, meaning they have an easier time keeping their buffs active. 3x speed (or divine speed) sets, with HP or Defense% gloves and chest, depending which they scale better with, and speed boots. A support who relies more on debuffs than buffs will want to ensure they have good accuracy. That means either good accuracy substats, an accuracy banner, or an accuracy set.
Clan Boss
Gearing for clan boss is very different from gearing for other situations. Damage in clan boss will come largely from enemy max hp scaling abilities, poison or hp burn debuffs, or the Giant Slayer/Warmaster mastery. As such, your main concern is speed, to apply these as fast as possible, survivability to get as many turns as possible to apply them, and accuracy for poisoners/burners to ensure their buffs apply.
For example: Kael geared for clan boss will be 3x speed sets, HP% gloves, HP% or accuracy chest, speed boots. HP or Defense on accessories, and Accuracy on the banner. You want to aim for over 100 accuracy to ensure poison is applied, and then make him as fast and tanky as possible to get as many stacks as you can. However, this build would make his damage terrible in EVERY other setting. So a set up like is recommended only for champs that you use exclusively on clan boss.

Benefits of responsive web design
7 December 2012
A 'Responsive' website, as the name may suggest responds and adapts to a device's screen size to give you a more pleasant viewing experience and a general increase in usability. No matter what device you are choosing to browse the Internet from, the website will always maintain a clean, user-friendly consistency.
With over 1 billion smartphone users at large, the need to have a compatible website is more important than it has ever been. Mobile web browsing has been predicted to surpass desktop browsing by the year 2014 after years of rapid growth. Any business with an online presence should be thinking about these statistics and using them to their advantage.
Google has published some astonishing statistics that show the phenomenal growth in smartphone ownership and usage. Two key figures in the UK show that:
- Between the start and the end of 2011 UK smartphone ownership rose from 30% to 45%, a massive rise of 50%.
- 98% of UK internet users used a PC to access the internet everyday, 93% used a smartphone.
Benefits of responsive web design
1. usability for the masses
With no constraints on the device you use when browsing the web, you can give the user an engaging experience; which will increase the probability of them returning to your website. A more engaging experience can ultimately mean increased hit rates and sales from your website.
2. only one website
Many companies have adopted the idea of having separate websites that cater to the needs of individual devices, e.g a website for the average PC user and a mobile friendly version for smartphone browsing. This means the cost of developing and managing your company website will dramatically increase. With the use of Responsive Web Design you can have one website, on one URL and will only have to publish your web content once; saving you time and money.
Having a single URL means that all of your links are directed within the same website and not a separate mobile site, which is definitely a good thing. From a search engine optimization (SEO) perspective, one URL can gather all links, Page Authority and Page Rank without the complications of separate sites. Another plus is that Google analytics will give you a complete view of all this traffic, making the SEO of your website more effective.
So why go responsive?
As the market for smartphones, tablets and other devices capable of accessing the internet expand; the need for a responsive design to your website will become increasingly important. Responsive Web Design (RWD) conforms to a wide variety of devices making it easier for the user to access web content on the go.
The bottom line is Responsive Web Design is here to stay, with the exponential rate at which smartphone web browsing is increasing, a Responsive Web Design website for any company will soon become the industry standard.

Choosing the right technology for your Mobile App.
When it comes to creating an app, how do we know which technology to use?
What is a native app?
A native application (native app) is an application program that has been developed for use on a particular platform or device (iOS or Android). Because native apps are written for a specific platform, they can interact with and take advantage of operating system features and other software that is typically installed on that platform.
What is an hybrid app?
We define hybrid as a web app, primarily built using HTML5 and JavaScript (AngularJS most of the time), that is then wrapped inside a thin native container that provides access to native platform feature.
So, basically, an hybrid app is not a native app, but it can interact with the same platform features, the difference is just the language, because we use the same code that we use on web apps, which is good if we plan to have an app that will work on every device, web browser, or platform.
What technologies do we have at hand?
Native code
So for iOS we code in Swift or Objective-C, and for Android we code in Java, so basically we code in each platform's native language.
A good coder will build a native app that can be fast and lightweight, and as native code is platform oriented all features provided by the platform can be used, and the final user can have a friendly interface to interact with.
Ionic provides tools and services for developing hybrid mobile apps using Web technologies like JS, CSS and HTML5, In WeDoWeb.co we usually work with AngularJS, HTML/CSS, to build apps in IONIC. Apps can be built with these Web technologies and then distributed through native app stores, both "App Store" and "Play Store", to be installed on devices by leveraging "Cordova".
React Native
A React Native app is a real mobile app. With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app", a "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app". You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C or Java. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps.
Which stack to use?
So me as a client, I want my app to…
Only work on iOS:
In this case an iOS development will do.
- Creates Native Code.
- Easy to imitate common iOS behaviours.
- Quality and performance can be tested easily.
- Hardware accessibility is maximum.
- Can't re-use code for creating a new app for a different platform.
Only work on Android:
In this case an Android development will do.
- Creates Native Code.
- Easy to imitate common Android behaviours.
- Quality and performance can be tested easily.
- Hardware accessibility is maximum.
- Can't re-use code for creating a new app for a different platform.
Work on all Mobile Devices:
In this case, React Native will be a good choice, because it allows you to do the work of coding one app and get two app at the same time, iOS and Android for the price of one.
- Creates Native Code.
- One Code for 2 Platforms(iOS and Android).
- Re-Use Code to build a Web App is hard.
- Not Fully Native Code (takes a bit longer to imitate native functionalities).
- Less Cost (less developers) to build apps for both Android and iOS Native Apps.
Work on Browser(Web App), and all Mobile Devices:
The best approach will be to use IONIC, because of the ability of coding less to create apps for more platforms.
- One Code for all Platforms (iOS, Android and Desktop/Web Browser).
- Can divide work in two parts (Layout & Logic).
- Quality and performance may not be perfect.
- Not Native Code (takes a bit longer to imitate native functionalities).
- Less Cost (less developers) to accomplish a full scalable app for all platforms.

You may be familiar with the quiet American and the ugly American, but this book is populated with angry Americans. They're angry over illegal immigrants growing drugs in their woods. They're angry about intrusion by the government into their private lives. Some are even angry over "Chinese Aliens." Fear and paranoia seem to run the lives of the characters in this novel. This is a literary page-turner told with humor and pathos. This may even be Boyle's best book to date.— From Mark B.
"If you were up all night reading Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin, take a nap before starting T.C. Boyle's new book, The Harder They Come. The novel addresses two difficult and timely topics: gun violence and society's treatment of the mentally ill. Parents Sten and Carolee Stenson are faced with balancing their love for their unstable adult son, Adam, and the safety of others as his behavior becomes increasingly erratic and threatening. Boyle is a masterful storyteller and this is his best book yet."
— Mamie Potter (M), Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC
Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author T.C. Boyle makes his Ecco debut with a powerful, gripping novel that explores the roots of violence and anti-authoritarianism inherent in the American character.
Set in contemporary Northern California, The Harder They Come explores the volatile connections between three damaged people—an aging ex-Marine and Vietnam veteran, his psychologically unstable son, and the son's paranoid, much older lover—as they careen towards an explosive confrontation.
On a vacation cruise to Central America with his wife, seventy-year-old Sten Stensen unflinchingly kills a gun-wielding robber menacing a busload of senior tourists. The reluctant hero is relieved to return home to Fort Bragg, California, after the ordeal—only to find that his delusional son, Adam, has spiraled out of control.
Adam has become involved with Sara Hovarty Jennings, a hardened member of the Sovereign Citizens' Movement, right-wing anarchists who refuse to acknowledge the laws and regulations of the state, considering them to be false and non-applicable. Adam's senior by some fifteen years, Sara becomes his protector and inamorata. As Adam's mental state fractures, he becomes increasingly schizophrenic—a breakdown that leads him to shoot two people in separate instances. On the run, he takes to the woods, spurring the biggest manhunt in California history.
As he explores a father's legacy of violence and his powerlessness in relating to his equally violent son, T. C. Boyle offers unparalleled psychological insights into the American psyche. Inspired by a true story, The Harder They Come is a devastating and indelible novel from a modern master.
T.C. Boyle has published fourteen novels and ten collections of short stories. He won the PEN/Faulkner award in 1988 for his novel World's End, and the Prix Médicis étranger for The Tortilla Curtain in 1995, as well as the 2014 Henry David Thoreau award for excellence in nature writing. He is a Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California and lives in Santa Barbara.

Director of Mobile and Online Research
04.09.2015 / 19:20
Recently, we've been receiving inquiries from our clients around
the world on the length of surveys. With increasing numbers of
respondents accessing surveys via mobile devices, one of the key
questions is how long is too long on a mobile device? To address
this question, Lightspeed GMI has conducted research in Australia,
China, India, and the United States. Respondents were assigned to
one of four groups: basically, groups for long and short surveys on
both PCs and mobile phones.
There are a number of learnings from this research:
#1 It generally takes longer to complete a survey via a
mobile device. On average, mobile increases the length by 20% to
30%. In the US, a short survey that took 5.5 minutes to complete on
a PC took 8.4 minutes to complete on a mobile phone. A long survey
that took 15 minutes to complete on a PC took 22 minutes to
complete on a mobile phone.
#2 The longer the survey, the higher the dropout rate.
Regardless of device, the longer survey length results in a higher
dropout rate.
#3 Dropout rates are higher on mobile devices. Dropout
rates for the long survey are double that of the short survey.
#4 The dropout rate is higher for young adults via both PC
and mobile devices. Adults age 18-24 are the only demographic to
drop out at a rate higher than 20% for mobile devices and 10% for
PCs. Young adults are more likely to access surveys via mobile
devices, so it is very important to optimize survey design so they
have a good experience on their mobile device.
Previous research conducted by Lightspeed GMI indicated a
maximum survey length of 20 minutes, but that work was done via PC
only. Since surveys take longer to complete via mobile and more
respondents are opting to take surveys on mobile devices,
Lightspeed GMI recommends keeping the survey length below 15
minutes. This minimizes the dropout rate and increases the
likelihood of getting young adults to complete the survey thus
resulting in a representative sample.

Dentures in Milton Keynes
Dentures are removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic), nylon or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps.
Denture technology has, over the past few decades, become a fine art. Dentures today are "personalised" to suit you and look completely natural. During the process of making your new dentures, there will be a "try-in". The try-in is the stage where your teeth are positioned in wax so you and your dentist can preview and discuss the appearance. Changes in appearance can be adjusted at this stage, so you will be happy with the end result.
Any loss of your natural teeth is a regrettable occurrence. Fortunately, it is one which can be remedied with excellent results. We will apply all their skill and knowledge to provide you with a substitute which perfectly suits both the shape of your mouth and your smile – one which, with the right care, you will learn to live with quite comfortably.
