Without a Labrador-hugging, polar fleece-wearing couple in sight comes the ever-so-chic Four&Sons Journal, the debut print counterpart of the dog-centric digital magazine.
Founders Marta Roca and distinguished dog lover Christina Teresinski (of bespoke dog accessory brand Best in Park) first launched Four&Sons as a blog at the beginning of 2012 and this limited-edition print publication is a souvenir to mark their first anniversary, celebrating the work of artists, designers and writers inspired by their relationships with their hounds.
Covering art, design, fashion, music and lifestyle, Four&Sons breeds dog-centric content for people passionate about culture and creativity. Written by people who find dogs a constant source of inspiration, this issue features subjects like Quiksilver's 1980s surf design icon 'Ghetto Dog' and photography spreads by Andrew Pinkham. Peel back the pages to reveal stylised portraits of dogs and their owners and see why this noble creature has been the focus of artists around the world for centuries. Roca says Four&Sons "is not necessarily for dog owners, but dog lovers" and celebrates a life alongside your dog, as opposed to a life that revolves around feeding and grooming them.
With the blog gaining popularity across the globe, the print edition is available across Sydney, Melbourne, London, New York and Los Angeles. Making the choice to stock Four&Sons in retail stores like Incu and Alpha60 is symbolic of their chosen demographic (this is not the type of publication you'll find lining the kennels of veterinary clinics).
The print issue was made possible by crowd funding and generous contributors and is a definite labour of love.
Roca and Teresinski found the more they reached out to artists, designers and bloggers, the greater their community of creative dog enthusiasts became. Roca says it's still early days, but is hopeful for the future, with plans to possibly release a design issue showcasing the work of designers whose prime focus is to make sophisticated products for dogs and the people who love them.
Four&Sons Journal is available at Alpha60, Incu, Somedays, The Commons and The Standard Store.

I want to describe someone, and I am sure you will immediately know who I am referring to. This person was born of a virgin on December 25, in a cave attended by shepherds. He was a great travelling teacher with 12 disciples, who promised his followers immortality. He sacrificed himself for world peace, was buried in a tomb, and rose after 3 days. He was called the Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Logos, the Redeemer, and the Saviour. Who could I be talking about? If you guessed Jesus, you would be wrong. That is a description of Mithras, a religious figure that existed long before Jesus ever did. Christians copied the story of Jesus from this religion as you can see.
The above statement is a widely circulated claim, and one that should be taken seriously. The internet is littered with numerous videos, articles, and blogs, purporting to disprove Christianity with things like this, and they have shaken the faith of many Christians with their claims. But should they? Is Jesus really just a carbon copy of other gods like Mithras, Horus and Osiris?
I want to start by saying that it is really hard to take this challenge seriously. This entire theory has been thoroughly debunked by scholars dating back to the 1800's. But somehow, the online skeptic crowd still seems to think it's a great reason to not be a Christian, and have convinced many others to believe this lie. In all honesty, I feel bad for anyone who feels the need to fabricate stories like this as an excuse to reject God. I have a strong suspicion that any Christian who tried to be so dishonest in their attack on atheism would likely be chased right off the internet. That being said, let's take this challenge as a serious one and see what we come up with.
First and foremost, let's deal with the facts. How many of the descriptive elements listed above are ones that Jesus shares?
- Born of a virgin – All known Mithraic traditions depict him emerging from a rock, fully grown and naked, wearing a hat, and holding a dagger and a torch. Does a rock count as a virgin?
- Born on December 25 – While Mithras was loosely associated with December 25, I don't think anyone actually believes that Jesus was born on that day. It is almost universally accepted by scholars and historians that His birthday is unknown.
- Born in a cave attended by shepherds – Jesus was never described as being born in a cave. Ever. And once again, Mithras was born out of a rock.
- A great travelling teacher with 12 disciples – Mithras was a god, not a teacher. He didn't have 12 disciples, or any for that matter.
- Sacrificed himself for world peace – Mithras was known for killing a bull. He certainly didn't die for anyone's peace. Not to mention that Jesus didn't die for world peace either, but rather for the sins of humanity.
- Buried in a tomb and rose in 3 days – There are no traditions at all about Mithras ever dying. So I guess that rules out a resurrection…..
- Mithras was never referred to as the Good Shepherd, or any of the other titles listed.
In reality, little is known about Mithras, because we have almost zero textual evidence regarding him or his followers. In fact, most of what is known about Mithraism comes from second century Christian writers, describing it as a copycat cult. Any apparent similarities between Christianity and Mithraism are most likely due to the fact that Mithras followers copied Christians – not the other way around.
Whenever I encounter someone who believes this to be a good explanation for the origins of Christianity, I usually have a couple of standard questions:
1: Have you ever read any primary sources for these claims, as in the actual historical documents? Or did you get them from Youtube? (the latter has always been the case so far)
2: Christianity emerged in a fiercely mono-theistic, Jewish context. Does it really make sense to believe that the early disciples thought they would convince any Jews by trying to make Jesus sound like some pagan deity?
If they had actually done that, Christianity as we know it would not exist today. It emerged however, on the strength of the eyewitness claims of Jesus' resurrection. The disciples went to their deaths proclaiming to have seen, talked with, ate with, and touched the resurrected Jesus. The early church exploded from that movement, and by the 300's it had taken over the Roman Empire without shedding a drop of anyone's blood. Except of course, that of all the people who were martyred for their refusal to deny Christ. Trying to brush historical facts like these aside with "copycat religion" claims, simply does not do justice in explaining the way Christianity emerged, or how it changed the world.
For followers of Jesus who encounter claims such as these, we need not be alarmed at all. We should however, be ready to dispatch these misguided ideas with truth, both for seekers, and for those in the church who may be shaken by them.
Although I focused on Mithras, many skeptics and sensationalists have substituted other gods like Horus, Osiris, Attis, Krishna and many others. Of all of them, Mithras is the closest, although not by much as anyone can see.
For further easy reading on the subject, I recommend The Case For The Real Jesus by Lee Strobel, in which he discusses the subject with Dr Edwin M. Yamauchi.

We spoke with Seth Emmons, Director of Communications of Leitz Cine about what he expects to see at this year's NAB Show. Visit them at Booth C3643.
Q: With all the major camera companies introducing larger sensor cameras, what is the artistic benefit to filmmakers?
A: That's such an important topic right now because most filmmakers and cinematographers don't have experience with full format filmmaking. We're getting these questions a lot. Why should I shoot in full format? What effect does it have on my image?
The biggest change is the new vocabulary of image style and composition that is opened up through a physically larger sensor. Cinematographers are used to telling the AC to throw on a 35mm lens and open up to T2.8. The DP knows what that is going to look like in regard to angle of view for framing and depth of field for composition. No matter what brand lens he or she puts on their Alexa or RED, that 35mm is going to have these same features of AoV and DoF. But, with larger sensors, those touch points shift. Now you can experiment with relative angle of view and relative depth of field for increased creative options.
Q: What do you mean by relative angle of view and relative depth of field?
A: Here's an example. Shots featuring greater "magnification", meaning that the background feels closer to the foreground, can give an intimate and dramatic feeling to a scene. Longer focal length lenses have more magnification than wider lenses, that's just a factor of lens physics. Let's say a DP wants that magnification factor in an intimate, two-person scene. They need to use a telephoto lens to achieve this feeling, but telephotos have very narrow angles of view. To get two people in the shot you have to pull way back from the actors, and you don't get to see much of the background because of the narrow angle of view.
What's different with a larger sensor is that your telephoto lens gets an wider angle of view, you're literally seeing more on the sides, so you can keep the same focal length characteristics (magnification and depth of field), but the lens is shooting wider. Now you can push the camera in closer for the same framing or stay back and get more of the background into the shot while still maintaining that intimate and dramatic feeling.
With a larger sensor the camera can push in closer to the characters in a way that feels more natural to the viewer but still keep that great feeling of magnification. And, the wide angle close ups that are popular right now will take on a whole new feeling as well.
Q: Walk us through how exactly the angle of view changes?
A: Sure. For ease of calculation I'll use the Leica Thalia 35mm T2.6 lens. The Thalia lenses cover every sensor format including ARRI Alexa 65, so we can calculate for the whole range of larger sensors with this lens. But to start, imagine the 35mm focal length lens set to T 2.6 on a Super35 digital sensor or film camera. Picture it in your mind. Every DP knows what a 35mm looks like.
Let's put some numbers to that. That horizontal angle of view is approximately 37.9°. Even if a lens is designed to cover larger sensors, on a Super35 sensor that's always going to be the angle of view. Angle of view is a factor of focal length and sensor size only. If the sensor size changes, the angle of view changes.
Now let's change sensors to the new ARRI Alexa LF (or RED Monstro, or SONY Venice, or Canon 700 FF, they're all within a few millimeters of each other). It has a larger sensor (1.5x larger horizontally than Super35). Our 35mm Thalia lens still covers the whole sensor, but the larger the sensor gets, the wider the image appears. Now the horizontal angle of view of that 35mm lens is 55.3°. This lens now looks much wider than you're used to with a 35mm. In fact, the lens that has approximately a 55.3° angle of view on S35 is a 23mm lens. So, this 35mm lens on Alexa LF will have the angle of view like a 23mm lens. (The image below illustrates larger sensors and increased angle of view.)
As you can see, this lens now looks much wider than you're used to with a 35mm. In fact, the
lens that has approximately a 55.3° angle of view on S35 is a 23mm lens. So, this 35mm lens on
Alexa LF will have the angle of view like a 23mm lens.
Q: So if the lens looks like a 23mm on a full format sensor, why not just label the lens a 23mm?
A: Great question. That gets to another characteristic of lenses that we mentioned earlier, depth of field. Depth of field is a factor of the lens focal length and never changes when sensor sizes change. Even though the angle would feel right, the DoF and magnification, which is also tied to focal length, would be off. But rather than see this as a point of confusion, I see this change in relative depth of field as another area for cinematographers to play with this new image-making vocabulary.
Q: If the depth of field doesn't change when using larger sensors, what do you mean by relative depth of field?
A: This is about a change in perception from what we are expecting. We know that longer lenses have a shallower depth of field than wider angle lenses. So, when you can take a longer lens and give it a wider angle of view you are carrying that shallower depth of field into the wide shot, which might have been more difficult to achieve optically on Super35.
For example, our 35mm Thalia at T2.6 has a 1'9" depth of field at 6'. On the Alexa LF it's relative angle of view makes it look like a 23mm lens. The relative question is at what aperture would a 23mm lens have a 1'9" depth of field at 6'? The answer is approximately T1.7. You could replicate the angle of view and depth of field of the shot on Super35 with a 23mm lens at T1.7.
Q: So, if the same angle and depth of field can be achieved on Super35, what's the benefit of shooting full format?
A: Magnification. You can't replicate the magnification on Super35 because you'll be doing the shot with a 23mm lens. That feeling of bringing the background closer to the subject can't be faked with a different focal length. Creatively, that's probably the biggest change in the look of an image that cinematographers are going to be pulled toward. It's hard to put into words but you feel it immediately.
The other main benefit of shooting full format over Super35 is practical. You can achieve the look of a super speed lens at a slower stop. Lenses in the T1.3/T1.4 class are extremely expensive, more difficult to manufacture, and often rather large. In full format you can get a similar shallow depth of field look from a less expensive and smaller lens. The cost difference is going to allow owner/operators and more modestly budgeted projects to achieve something that was once out of their price range.
When we were shooting the Thalia demo reels there was a lot of looking at the monitor, then looking at the lens, then back at the monitor, because when you're used to a certain format it feels so uniquely different yet familiar to see content from a larger sensor. It will take people some time and testing to learn the new vocabulary of large format lensing and how it can be used, but I for one can't wait to see it.

The Daily Show
Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes,The Daily Show on Facebook,Daily Show Video Archive
If you've got an early bedtime, you may have missed most of this week's recap. That's OK. Catching you up is what we're here for. To sum up: Hillary Clinton out Colbert'd Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart brought the 1990s back, and Lizzy Caplan told late night's kinda-pervy cousin Conan O'Brien a very unsexy story about sex. And in earlier time slots we got human dancing machines and T.I. on The View. Yeah. There's a lot of conversation going on in this edition of the round up, so we'll cut to the chase. Take a summer Friday and start your weekend early with these.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart — Wu-Tang Clan
Proving that after 20 years the Wu-Tang Clan still ain't nothing to f*-k with, the group is reuniting to release a new album called A Better Tomorrow, and the whole damn clique showed up on the on The Daily Show to promote it. Wu-Tang forever!
The Colbert Report — Colbert Presents Hillary Clinton With a Hypothetical Duck and Horse Crisis
Oh, that Hillz. The more we see you on Comedy Central the more we want to lobby for our Texting With Hillary pitch. If Mrs. Clinton (if you're nasty) does decide to run in 2016, she's already kicked off one helluva a goodwill tour, and thanks to Stephen Colbert she's also getting her feet held to the fire on this country's toughest challenges. Watch this clip if you want to find out which foe she would rather take on in a fight: One horse-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized horses. The answer may surprise you.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver — Native Advertising
"Everyone loves sponsored content because it is the best and so fucking cool, sources everywhere say." That's from an article published by The Onion on May 17 of last year called "Sponsored Content Pretty Fucking Awesome." And as you'll see in this clip from Last Week Tonight, Time Inc. CEO Joseph A. Ripp feels pretty much the same way! "Quite frankly, I've changed church and state, as you know. We took that away," Ripp told Bloomberg TV. "We said the editors are going to be working for the business side of the equation. And quite frankly, I think they're happier. They're more excited about it, because no longer are we asking ourselves the question, 'Are we violating church and state?' Whatever that was." Yeah, that stupid question. When life becomes an Onion article, it's sad times ahead. Take it away, John!
Conan — Lizzy Caplan Relives Her First Masters Of Sex Love Scene
From Mean Girls to True Blood to Party Down and now Masters of Sex, Lizzy Caplan has been a secret Hollywood weapon for years. She's not flashy. Not a publicity hound. She just shows up, does the work, and consistently delivers. So it's really too bad that Michael Sheen had such a ... poor reaction after shooting their first love scene for Showtime's Masters of Sex. Yeah. It's a whole story.
The View — T.I.
In 2014, going on a female-oriented daytime talk program to promote your next hip-hop album is totally not weird, which is what makes it parallel-universe levels of strange in the context of rap's historic timeline. But, you know, in a age when Snoop Dogg does Overstock.com commercials and Andre 3000 pitches for Gillette, we are fully living in a new world order. We'll take it over a coast versus coast blood feud any day. Now pass those Cheerios, Nelly!
The Colbert Report — Michael Fassbender: 'I Love You All'
In the upcoming movie Frank, Michael Fassbender plays the front man of a band. This would be totally normal, except for the fact that Frank is really eccentric and wears a massive papier mache head that he never takes off. Like, ever. And in a wonderful trick of life imitating art, Frank and his band—aka his cast mates from the movie including Maggie Gyllenhaal on the keyboard—went on the Report to promote their film by performing in character. So watch Fassbender get his rock star on by dancing about the soundstage in a big fake head while Gyllenhaal does some great shoulder work as she tickles the ivories. We love you, too, Frank!
So You Think You Can Dance — Jessica and All-Star tWitch are Dancing Like Nappytabs Told Them To
Oh, hell. Let's just dance our way into the weekend!

The integration of a rule representation in ontology languages enhances the developer's abilities in the expression of knowledge. Likewise the integration creates new challenges for the design process of these knowledge bases. Thus, evaluation approaches have to cope with the merged methods. We introduce extensions to existing verification techniques to support the implementation of ontologies with rule enhancements, and we focus on the detection of anomalies that can especially occur due to the combined use of rules and ontological definitions.

The truth is, you're missing out if you aren't taking advantage of your Facebook page to help you grow your business. With around 1 billion users, the possibilities for growth and interaction are almost endless. That's not to say that users will just find you if you don't have a strategy to reach out to them. Keeping active interest in your Facebook page by regularly updating your status, interacting with customers and running effective contests or campaigns will help your business stay fresh on their minds.
Invaluable Returns
Hosting a Facebook contest every so often can keep your customer interaction (and their opinion of your business) positive. Most everyone loves a good, friendly competition every once in awhile! Running a Facebook contest from time to time can be invaluable because:
- The contest gives you direct access to an invested customer base. That means the people who are participating in your contest are the ones paying attention to your statuses, using your services and telling their friends about you. What's not to love?
- You'll be able to attract more fans. Depending on your contest rules (be sure to pay attention to Facebook guidelines) and procedures, you may get more "likes" because of the amount of new visitors to your page.
- You can learn more about your customer base. Hosting a competition will let you know what your fans like, how they communicate and what motivates them to act.
- Your business will be able to be promoted through your participants. The rules you set can have them sharing your content, requesting that their friends participate, and being an ambassador for your business.
- You can revitalize your content. Seriously, there's nothing like competition to make people pay attention to what your business is up to.
Updating your page with a contest can draw attention to your page and quality content can keep it there.
Up Next: How to Run an Effective Facebook Contest
Now that you know why your business should be running contests every so often, check back for our next blog for how to make them effective. We'll discuss best practices for engaging customers!


text: ing Strategy? to good, old-fashioned mass advertising. It's still necessary, and it still can work. Walmart nearly monopolized Skype's ad inventory during the holiday season, oftentimes with eye-catching streaming video and other rich content. There's no reason why Walmart shouldn't try to sell me a Wi-Fi-enabled crockpot even if there's no evidence that I want one - I very well might need some gift ideas three weeks before Christmas. It just concerns me that marketers might be too willing to let the programmable, automated aspects of technology lull them into a sense of satisfaction. Taking full advantage of these new media requires more thought than that. There's a concept we teach in Path to Purchase Leadership University's Digital Shopper Marketing course that examines three stages in the "digitization" of consumer-facing tools: First, you recreate the analog version, like posting a digital copy of the weekly circular. Next, you adapt the tool to the new environment, like adding click-through or add-to-list capa- bilities to the circular. Finally, you abandon the traditional model to recognize both the inherent qualities of the new medium and the evolving preferences of shoppers. In many cases, marketers are still stuck in stage two. Research consultancy IDC Manufacturing Insights predicts that nearly all growth in the consumer goods industry over the next 10 years will be driven by companies that find ways to successfully engage directly with consumers. For IDC, engagement doesn't refer only to marketing and digital communication; it also means direct fulfillment, ongoing replenishment, direct sales and customized product. Check out MyTide.com for a possible glimpse into the future (and visit Shopper Marketing sister publication Consumer Goods Technology at ConsumerGoods.com for more of IDC's forecasts). Attaining that level of engagement requires a lot more than targeted ads and token personalization. It demands a full understanding of customer needs and behaviors - you know, the insights that shopper marketing delivers - and a readiness to disrupt existing business models to address them. This will not be easy, but it will be necessary. Homer Simpson also once said, "If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." SM Homer would be a lousy marketer.

Meet Emma: Adoptable Dog of the Week
*View Emma's profile on Secondhand Hounds*
This girl obviously holds a special place in my heart from the moment I saved her. Many of you have been following the story, but in case you haven't, Emma is one of two stray dogs that we found north of the cities. You can read more about Emma's story here.
The good news is that she is now available for adoption through Secondhand Hounds Rescue in Minnesota.
I am so happy that this young girl will now be properly cared for and never have to give birth to another litter of puppies again.
Pit bull mix // (~1 1/2 – 2 yrs old) // very easy going // great with kids // good with dogs // cats are unknown (probably okay!) // potty & crate trained
More about Emma:
If you're looking for the perfect dog to snuggle up to next to, Emma's your girl.
If you want a completely easy-going dog, look no further. She doesn't even have any annoying habits – she won't chew up your furniture, doesn't jump on people, rarely even barks.
She does great with kids and loves snuggling her head in your lap. She would love to go on walks with you and makes a superb sidekick.
Emma also does good with other dogs. She lived with us for a few weeks and has been living with an older Beagle and a young pit bull/whippet mix and does great with both of them. Of course, bossy female dogs or overly excited/extremely high energy dogs that keep persisting on playing probably wouldn't be her first choice in play mates.
Emma loves tennis balls (just carrying them around in her mouth!) and also likes to play tug o' war when she gets that tiny spark of spunk.
She sleeps perfectly quiet in a crate and is a true lady, she won't even chew up any blankets that are in her crate (I'm looking at you, RIO).
There's not much about Emma that's not to like. She is an amazing dog and is going to make someone very happy.
Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions about Emma and of course you can learn more about adopting Emma on Secondhandhounds.org.
4 Comments
I'm so glad that Emma is doing well and is able to be adopted out now. She's going to have a great life in a new home and it's all thanks to you!
Awe – I just love her so much!!!!! Of course just for her and all of her awesomeness (she is going to make someone a wonderful pet – whoever gets her for their forever girl is going to be blessed), but also because it's Emma that helped us to become friends!!!!! 🙂
Those eyes are gorgeous! Sharing in the hopes that Emma finds her forever home! <3

Supply Chain Software Technology Works, But Does it Do The Work?
Aaron Baker, Senior Director, Supply Chain Development, Damco
From a software technology perspective supply chain visibility is not challenging per se. In its rudimentary form supply chain visibility follows a basic procedure of input, process and output. So why is the question 'where is my stuff?' still a considered a Critical supply chain industry question? To answer this question properly we need to step back and think about it in the context of an enterprise business challenge instead of a tactical question. Specifically, what enterprise challenges can be answered once you get the right balance of people, process and then technology?
"The fragmented or siloed approach to supply chain management is being reengineered for optimal end-to-end supply chains that minimize or maximize cross functional KPIs"
The change in mind-set is to think of the data that fuels supply chain visibility as something that needs to be managed by dedicated people, similar to how products on a store shelf needs to be continuously managed to ensure availability. Imagine if a store shelf was partially stocked and many of the goods were left in the storage room - not even opened from its original shipping carton. You could not reliably offer products to be sold.
To get reliable supply chain visibility, companies need to manage the process on a continuous basis. They understand the business benefits of having either in-house or outsourced providers control the process by people with 'boots on the ground', where the operations takes place.
Managing What Matters in the Supply Chain
In many industry verticals we see mature organizations shifting from mitigating supply chain costs to creating enterprise value. The fragmented or siloed approach to supply chain management is being re-engineered for optimal end-to-end supply chains that minimize or maximize cross functional KPIs, thereby balancing profitability while meeting unpredictable customer demands. We have seen the business benefit of supply chain data to be a proven enabler for this transition to many of our customers, in areas such as lead time reduction, on-time-in-full (OTIF), gross margin, sustainability and product availability on the shelf as top priorities. These focus areas are what matters for mature organizations.
Many organizations outsource process management to not only include the functional physical management and movement of shipments between supply chain nodes; they also outsource the creation and fortification of data connectivity across the supply chain - from the point of production to the point of consumption (e.g., the creation of an advanced ship notice ASN to be linked to a shipment milestone). Thereby linking the international with the domestic supply chains as well as inducting wholesaler shipments into retail networks. The value is not just getting the data for visibility. The value becomes exponential when you can answer enterprise challenges for holistic end-to-end improvement.
It is commonly understood the key to end-to-end process management is managing the digital and physical supply chains with equal focus. This requires an accountable team to manage orders throughout the supply chain. They proactively reach out to vendors and carriers about shipments and applicable status milestones.
The below examples illustrates how end-to-end supply chain management can use reliable data to design and implement tangible value for true company innovation.
Designing Operations for Complexity – linking the International with Domestic networks
Using purchase order (PO) data and inbound milestone events, we were able to merge a large retail company's outbound domestic shipments with their supplier's inbound shipments. The solution required not only the physical infrastructure, but the connectivity to synchronize the two critical flows electronically and have an account team manage this process and provide real-time status events to control the process and exceptions proactively in real-time. This solution allows for the wholesalers to bypass their own network and get paid faster. These programs are managed from end-to-end with full visibility and resulted in a lead time reduction by an average of 13.7 days and reduction of carbon emissions by over 1.8 million kg annually. The critical success factor was to have all electronic information flow through our systems to provide carton level visibility.
Fitting a Technology Company into a Fast Fashion Supply Chain Network
As a deeply rooted supply chain partner for one of the tech world's largest portfolio providers in the tech industry vertical, our services span global end-to-end activities such as a centralized origin hub with dedicated account teams. These teams continuously interact with vendors and OEM/ODMs to capture data for enhanced visibility in order to detect and act on risks and opportunities more quickly, and to improve supply chain decision-making. Shipment management includes monitoring goods in transit into destination markets globally where a destination team manages high velocity cross-dock and transload facilities as well as over the road truck delivery. With reliable supply chain data, we were able to propose a global supply chain improvement project to the Latin American markets. The objective was to consolidate the majority of the Asia to Latin America traffic through direct shipments to subsidiaries and channel partners using full containers and to consolidate factory direct shipments that do not have sufficient volume to complete full container shipments.
Using twelve months of actual shipment data and customer demand data, were able to identify which orders could be shipped directly into the sixteen Latin American country markets to satisfy actual end customer demand versus which could be held as inventory for postponement and late stage differentiation of product for the final market.
Through an extensive logistics and distribution analysis we identified that a Panama hub should be used instead of the previous multiple hub distribution points. The calculated savings resulted in an average of a 9 day decrease in lead time and a savings of $9m in costs annually. So what are the right business questions to ask? Companies with mature supply chains are not asking 'where's my stuff? Instead, they are asking:
1) Who should manage the data from my supply chain operations to maintain its reliability?
2) What business control can I improve with the information within the supply chain data?
3) How can I use my supply chain data to react to customer demand variability with agility?
Once you determine right questions, then you can make the software technology work for you.

Explore Virginia's Eastern Shore
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Discover a coast where you can watch wild ponies run, eat world-class BBQ, and dig your own clams.
Tied to the Water
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
The trip starts near the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, which points directly toward Virginia Beach. The Chesapeake Bay laps the land's west-side marshes, while the Atlantic rushes its east-side beaches. Up and down this skinny strip, small villages are anchored by mom-and-pop marinas, and the landscape features a patchwork of marsh grasses. The people here swear by the stretch of the shore.
Cape Charles: Magnetic Hub
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Cape Charles Coffee House (757/331-1880) joins a string of galleries, shops, restaurants, and cafés on Mason Avenue, the central hub of the town of Cape Charles. Roberta Romeo and her husband, Marshall, grew up outside Manhattan and lived in Sonoma for 26 years. Then they visited the Eastern Shore and moved their lives here. Now they refuse to leave.
Cape Charles: Local Essentials
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Next door, designer and builder Patrick Hand has transformed an old five-and-dime into Blue (757/377-4222), a six-suite, loft-style boutique inn with minimalist decor and 110-year-old pine floors. A few blocks away you'll find artist Meredith Restein's gorgeous necklaces made from real orchids at Breezes Day Spa (757/331-3108). Watson's Hardware (757/331-4444) has been selling beach essentials amid the usual hardware staples since 1910, and hosts an unofficial happy hour for regulars each afternoon.
Chincoteague Island: Famous BBQ
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Hawaiian shirts on a clothesline flutter in the wind at the parking lot entrance of Woody's Beach BBQ on Chincoteague Island. The tees have been a signal of the place's laid-back atmosphere since the restaurant opened in 2007. Owners Gail and Larry Parsons slow-smoke their racks of ribs with three different kinds of wood. Grab a seat at a picnic table and top the meaty slabs with either a sweet, Memphis-style sauce or a tangy, Carolina-style version.
Chincoteague Island: Wild Horses
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
The most famous inhabitants of this part of the Eastern Shore remain the Chincoteague ponies, two herds of wild horses that graze among the dune grasses of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Accessing the protected ponies on foot proves to be nearly impossible, so I board a pontoon boat captained by Dan Davis (757/894-0103), a native and waterman turned tour guide. He navigates us to a point off the beach, and we idle there, watching these shaggy animals feed and frolic.
Onancock: A Delicious Enclave
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
The perfect place on the Eastern Shore for a glass of wine and a few bites of cheese is the back porch of The Inn at Onancock (757/789-7711). You'll share interesting conversation with owners Kris and Lisa LaMontagne, who left fast-paced jobs in Washington, D.C., to find peace in this little village connected to the bay by Onancock Creek. Their elegant bed-and-breakfast puts emphasis on breakfast, thanks to Lisa's dozen years as a professional chef.
Onancock: A Relaxing Waterway
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
After the nightly Wine-Down cocktail hour at the inn, stroll to dinner at the Charlotte Hotel & Restaurant (757/787-7400) for local seafood and vegetables with hints of French and Italian influence. Then head back to dreams of tomorrow morning's gourmet pastries.
Tangier Island: A Spirit All Its Own
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Capt. Mark Crockett sails twice daily from Tangier Island to Onacock on the Joyce Marie II, a ferry he built from a lobster-boat hull (757/891-2505). He grew up a crab fisherman on Tangier, but now his main business is ferrying folks to and from the place his family has called home for generations.
Tangier Island: Working Watermen
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
As you walk around Tangier, you'll likely meet the island's mayor, James "Ooker" Eskridge. He's also a commercial waterman just like his father and grandfather. It's the thick of soft-shell crab season, so he wakes up at 2:30 every morning and heads to his shanty to prepare crabs for shipment.
Ooker's roots run deep. Many families, like his, trace their ancestries to the original settlers, who landed ashore from England three centuries ago. Hence, the accent: Talk to any local and you'll hear that Cornish-tinged dialect.
Left: Tangier Island mayor James "Ooker" Eskridge
A Private Paradise
Photographer: Chris M. Rogers
Its ribbed rows of docks connected to crab shanties, houses covered in faded paint, and abundant bicycles and golf carts all play into the raw, simple beauty of Tangier. The reality is that it can be a fairly isolated place, right out in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. When the water freezes, ferry service stops, and private planes are the only way on and off. But for the island's residents, it's splendid isolation.

Whenever someone makes an anti-gay comment, it's always interesting to see people who'll yell, "Well, it's their opinion. Freedom of speech!"
It's always a quick way to figure out who else is anti-gay. But people never wonder what consequences they'll face for that freedom of speech and opinion. Wanna know? Just ask Manny Pacquiao.
On the heels of comparing gay people to animals, the boxer has been dropped by Nike.
"We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent," Nike said in a statement. "Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community."
During an interview about his Senate run in the Philippines, Pacquiao was asked about his views on same-sex marriage.
"It's just common sense," Pacquiao said. "Have you seen any animal having male-to-male or female-to-female relations?"
Well, I guess it's just common sense for one of his biggest endorsers to give him the boot.

I have the CPLP study group to thank for a new position in an industry with limited budgets. Often working as a one-person "team", I thrived with the sense of community and the level of expertise we fellow practitioners shares with one another. As I was reminded of all wisdom I have to share in the process of acquiring more, my enthusiasm multiplied! To benefit from discounted enrollment, I became an ATD national member, which in itself was a fabulous decision that I benefit from weekly. After the study course, I signed up for terrific ATD certification courses too. All the content and the connections have been immeasurably valuable in my work and in my career path.
Ruth Allender
This online study group is a tremendous value. Not only did I pass the knowledge exam on my first try, but I also got the added benefit of networking across the country with a diverse group of other talent development professionals striving for the same goal. In addition, I gained access to the work and resources of past groups, my current group, and I was able to contribute to the knowledge base myself.
The teach back method we used forced me to know my material every week, and it even modeled the adult learning principles we are learning to master. What's more, the knowledge, support, and personal experience shared by the group leaders (who are already CPLPs) made the experience especially engaging for me. I would have paid a lot more for all the value I received from this group!

It seems like Wu Xiubo's team is trying to drag Tang Yixin to cover up their scandal. Tang Yixin was trending all over weibo while there was not a single trend regarding Wu Xiubo. He is paying a lot to cover up those trends.ReplyDelete
I am so glad Zhang Ruoyun came to defend her. It is so obvious that they have a healthy relationship.
Good everyone on her, her team and her boyfriend (maybe hubby?) came out strong and dismissed the rumours. Looks like someone was desperately trying to smear her to take the heart of Wu Xiubo.ReplyDelete
How did her name even get dragged into this anyway?Replies

International Standard Bible EncyclopediaHAMON-GOG
ha'-mon-gog (hamon-gogh, "the multitude of Gog"): The name of the place where "Gog and all his multitude" are to be buried (Ezekiel 39:11, 15). By a change in the pointing of Ezekiel 39:11, ha-`abharim for ha-`obherim, we should read "valley of Abarim" for "valley of them that pass through." In that case it would seem that the prophet thought of some ravine in the mountains East of the Dead Sea.

According to a report in The Rugby Paper Premiership rugby clubs are threatening to continue with their league programme throughout the World Cup in the autumn of 2015. A condition of England's successful World Cup bid was that there was no elite competitive rugby during the tournament, which would mean the Premiership starting as late as November.
But Premiership Rugby are reportedly upset with the RFU because they weren't consulted over the bid for the World Cup, and if they have to take an enforced break during September and October 2015, it would mean clubs facing a five-month period without any match-day income.
It is claimed each club is set to lose £1.2million and a compensation package of £14milliom from the RFU has been sought. The Union have offered £6million. Leicester Tigers chief executive Simon Cohen likened the situation as "going back to the bad old days of serfdom." The World Cup was an agreement between the IRB and RFU to which the clubs were not a party, so " to simply expect us to close down our businesses is simply not acceptable."
One feels that there is too much at stake on both sides for there not to be a compromise.The clubs have already started talks with the RFU about renewing the elite-player agreement which runs out in 2016. This has worked better than anyone from either side imagined when it was signed in 2008 after years of acrimony and trips to the High Court
One hopes the current dispute will be settled without recourse to our legal friends…..

The picture of charm, charisma and courage, Robin Roberts is visible proof of the power of standing tall and fighting off enemies that attack, in her case two virulent bouts of disease. As a beloved co-anchor on ABC's Good Morning America television show for over a decade, she has cultivated respect and integrity in all her actions. She began her career as a sportscaster, because of her history on the basketball and tennis courts, broadcasting for ESPN for fifteen years with the famous catchphrase "Go on with your bad self."
Thanks to the Annual Louis and Mary Fusco Distinguished Lecture Series, number eighteen, you are invited to get up close and personal with Robin Roberts at SCSU on Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts, Crescent Street, in New Haven.
When her hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi was especially devastated by Hurricane Katrina, she anchored a series of reports that focused on the region and her personal connections. With her new co-anchor George Stephanopoulos, she brought the show to the apex of the rating game in 2012 after NBC's Today Show had taken top honors for the past sixteen years.
Her personal battles with breast cancer in 2007 and again five years later with myelodyplastic syndrome, resulting in her need for a bone marrow transplant, focused national attention on these medical issues. Her public revelation on her MDS battle led to an incredible increase of 1800% in bone marrow donors in that one day. Roberts has since shared with her adoring fans her personal relationship with her companion Amber Laign.
When Robin Roberts takes the stage at Lyman Center, she will share the lessons she has learned along life's path, her conversations with such luminaries as President Barack Obama and Pope Francis at the Vatican, her co-hosting the red carpet Oscar pre-shows, her co-anchoring Good Morning America, her two decades as a broadcaster and her newly formed production company Rock'n Robin in 2014.
In 2013, Reader's Digest honored her with the vote as the "Most Trusted Person on Television" and she has been awarded numerous distinctions for her devoted work on her personal medical issues and anchoring prowess. For tickets ($35 premium, $30 regular, $10 SCSU students and $125 for reception, personal meet and greet, autographed book), call SCSU at 203-392-6154 or online at www.SouthernCT.edu.
For lessons in strength and gratitude, from that Steel Magnolia woman from the South, come hear Robin Roberts share what she has learned from life's often difficult trials and exciting triumphs. Her mother advised her to "make your mess your message" while her philosophy is be inspired and enjoy the journey.

Designer Interview: John Eric Byers of Jeb Jones

5 Comments » | Published in Designer Interviews | 5 Comments
Today we're sitting down with John Eric Byers, the furniture designer behind Jeb Jones. Jeb Jones is an environmentally conscious company that creates furniture distinguished by simple geometric forms, traditional construction methods, hand-tooled surfaces and hand finishing. Based in upstate New York, the designs are influenced by the four seasons and the surrounding countryside. Without further ado, meet John!
Jeb Jones Spools (Short)
What was the first piece of furniture you ever made?
I made a ladder back chair in high school shop. Gave it to my Mom of course.
What has your career path been; what led you into designing furniture?
I always had a desire to work with my hands and with wood. When I discovered the furniture of Wendell Castle I was hooked. I was very fortunate that he had a small school of which I attended for 2 years and then went out on my own.
Jeb Jones Stacking Drawers Dresser
What is your philosophy when approaching the design of a new piece?
Excitement and anxiousness.. I get this kind of buzz.
What inspires you? What do you do to overcome a creative block?
Honestly, I have never had a creative block. But the best cure to indecision is to stay disciplined and make a decision and hope for the best.
Please tell us a bit about the sustainable aspects of your practice and products.
At the onset I wanted JEB JONES to represent sustainability and enduring quality. We use only FSC select hardwoods and VOC-free environmentally safe opaque and clear coat finishes. Our costs are higher but I refuse to cheap out on the environment . When you purchase one of our pieces, you can feel proud that you are doing right by your planet. And you can feel that way for a lifetime because our pieces will last a lifetime and our warranty supports that.
Can you tell us a quick story about three of your designs and how they came to be?
Most of my designs start as quick thumbnail doodles, I never do working drawings. I often have a few designs being made at the same time and then I begin to see variations on the pieces as they come to life.
Jeb Jones Open Form Bench/Table
The idea of emphasizing the interior space of the Open Form Tables led me to to extend that interior consideration and attention to detail to all the open pieces in the collection.
What's your workspace like? How do your surroundings in upstate New York influence you work?
My private studio is short 30 foot commute from my 1860s farm house which makes it easy to go to the studio every day. I think the simplicity of my lifestyle in the country has contributed to the simplicity of my design forms . The four seasons certainly has influenced my color palette.
Thanks so much to John for sitting down with us today! Here are more of his designs.
Hi, I'm Becky. I live in Atlanta. Besides acting as the Editorial Director here on Hatch, you can find me talking design over at Houzz. Make me happy — leave a comment!

The Decision Making Process
Every decision we make is actually a collection of decisions, many of which are merely assumptions. What happens when some of those decisions are wrong? As we continue to explore this critical concept in Scripture, we learn how to analyze how we come to the conclusions we do and bring every thought captive under the obedience of Messiah.

Liverpool winger Stewart Downing says winning a trophy this season would be the ideal way to mark Jamie Carragher's retirement.
Carragher confirmed his retirement from football after over 700 professional appearances last week, to end speculation over the offer of a new contract; with his new deal set to expire in the summer.
The former England international has won nine major honours during his Liverpool career, but Downing says a 10th piece of silverware would be the ideal send-off for the club stalwart.
"That would be perfect, if we won something," Downing said. "You could see what the Carling Cup meant to him last year. It would be nice if we could win something for him.
"He's obviously a massive player for this club and is influential when he's not playing. He's good around young players and the older players. He's a voice and a good lad.
"Carra will probably just want to play until the end of the season now, so that he can say he played his last season and did well. I still think he has got a lot to offer but he has made his decision."
Liverpool remain in the Europa League going into the last 32 stage, while hopes continue to linger over qualification for the Champions League.
The 35 year old must make eight more league appearances this season for Liverpool, his next opportunity coming against West Bromwich Albion on Monday, in order to finish with 20 for a 16th consecutive campaign, a definition of his unerring consistency.
Having enjoyed a recent run in the first-team at the expense of Martin Skrtel, Downing was surprised at the decision for Carragher to call time on his career.
"I was quite shocked because he's been playing and I thought he maybe had got the itch back to give it one more year," Downing added.
"But I can understand because the type of player that Jamie is, he's not one to be sat around. You can see he gets frustrated when he is not playing and he's basically like a manager when he's sitting on the touchline.
"Honestly, he's just commentating all the way through, like at Oldham recently. You can see he's got the potential to be a manager. He thinks about the game all the time and knows everything about any player. That's why I found it strange.
"What's he going to do because I think football is his life? I thought he would have stayed on for another year but credit to him. He's obviously seen that maybe he's not going to play as much as he would like. It's a big loss for us."

Women are under a lot of pressure these days. From Victoria's Secret models to fashion magazines, it seems us ladies are always fed one particular body type and (with a few exceptions) the models are usually skinny, skinny, white and skinny.
And that's just in the U.S.
Superdrug Online Doctor, a UK-based online pharmaceutical-ordering website, sought to answer one question: How do beauty perceptions vary around the world? They asked designers from 18 different counties to Photoshop a stock image of a woman to fit their country's standard of beauty. Or, as their project's title suggests, make her fit each country's "Perceptions of Perfection."
"Widely held perceptions of beauty and perfection can have a deep and lasting cultural impact on both women and men," the project's site said. "The goal of this project is to better understand potentially unrealistic standards of beauty and to see how such pressures vary around the world."
They also conducted a survey, asking people to guess the weight of the Photoshopped woman in each image and the results were harrowing. Some of the edits translated to dangerously low BMIs, China's in particular, with the "ideal" body rendering a woman merely 102 pounds — anorexic for her height.
Of course, not every country thinks that super-thin, flat stomachs are the norm, however (Spain had the highest BMI). But the war on body image won't be over until there is no perfect body. Just bodies and beauty in many forms.
Check out the images below.

First of all, thanks a lot for helping me this much!
Sadly I have to go soon, but would greatly appreciate it if you wrote down the instruction of what I should do next. And just to be safe, I need to download whatever bit windows I have i.e. 64-bit go for 64-bit ISO.
Thanks again!
No problem. Helping people reinstall Windows is what I do around here. Anyway, I suggest downloading the 64-bit version, as your new computer will most likely be able to run it. It will also probably have more than 4GB of RAM, which is the limit for 32-bit. Anyway, here are the instructions for putting a Windows installer on a USB. I assume you already have 7-zip, if not, get it from http://7-zip.org/
- Format your USB in FAT32.
- Use 7-zip to extract the ISO from the downloaded RAR.
- Then, extract the contents of the ISO (7-zip can open them) to the root of your USB drive. This can take up to 30 minutes, please be patient.
- On your USB, there should be a folder named sources, and in there a file named boot.wim. Open it with 7-zip (yes, it can open WIM too). In there, go to folder 1\Windows\Boot\EFI.
- There is a file called bootmgfw.efi in there. Extract it to a folder named boot in the efi folder on the USB.
- Name the extracted file bootx64.efi
- Now, in the boot folder on the USB (not the boot folder in the EFI folder), there should be a file called bootsect.exe. Copy it to your hard drive.
- Open an admin command prompt where you put bootsect.exe, and run bootsect /nt60 <drive letter>. So, for drive G you would run bootsect /nt60 G:.
That should be it. Let me know if you have any problems. This USB can be used to install Windows on your new computer. Make sure to format the drive during the install.

Hotel owners in Prince William County are on alert after one man robbed four hotels of them in 48 hours.
In every incident, a young man approached the hotel's front desk and pulled out a handgun. He then took money from the clerk and fled on foot.
Each establishment described the suspect as a black man between 20 and 29 years old with a medium build. No one was hurt at any of the thefts.
Before raiding the Sleep Inn and Wytestone Suites in Woodbridge on Sunday, the suspect robbed the Wyndam Gardens Hotel and Centreville Road Days Inn in Manassas. He's also believed to be responsible for an Oct. 22 robbery of Manassas' Residence Inn.
The suspect was last seen wearing a black skull cap, white work gloves and a dark hooded sweatshirt while covering his face with a white cloth.

Wi-Fi Hubs on Buses Connect Students in Transit
As buses in Arizona's Vail school district rumble across the roads, pedestrians might spot a curious advertisement on their sides.
Several of those yellow vehicles sport a sign declaring them to be an "Internet Bus" with Wi-Fi sponsored by a local business.
It's just one of the ways that the 12,000-student district is trying to provide students with useful access to the Internet outside the school day and school buildings. Known for its emphasis on the digital—the district has a high school that uses only digital textbooks, and other schools in the system have extensive blended- and online-learning programs—the Vail district has transformed 12 of its 93 buses into rolling Wi-Fi hotspots. The district is just one of many around the country to have placed an emphasis on improving students' connectivity on their way to and from school.
In the 425-square-mile district southeast of Tucson, long bus routes and commutes to sporting events can take more than an hour.
Before the district launched the mobile Wi-Fi program, students "were losing learning time," said Superintendent Calvin Baker. The bus connectivity "certainly extends the opportunity for students to have access to the Internet."
The program was launched more than five years ago, and it established Vail as one of the first districts in the country to equip buses with Internet connections. Currently, four of the district's 12 Wi-Fi buses are sponsored by local business, said John V. Nunes, the assistant director of transportation. He came up with the idea of Wi-Fi on buses because his daughters attended the all-digital high school, played on sports teams, and needed a way to get their homework done on long bus rides to and from events.
In addition to students getting their schoolwork done while commuting, a side benefit has been a decline in behavioral problems on buses because students are occupied, Mr. Nunes said.
The districts' arrangement for equipping the buses has evolved over time. Early on, the district used a different type of Wi-Fi device that needed an antenna, but it was difficult to meet federal motor-carrier regulations for mounting it to make sure it wasn't a safety hazard, Mr. Nunes said. In addition, the metal and aluminum in the bus often scuttled the antenna's reception. "That was one of the big headaches," he said.
• District Extends Wi-Fi to Students in Public Housing
• District Loans Out Wireless Hubs to Bring Students Online
• Businesses Build Online Wi-Fi Network in Ga. School District
High Demand
Vail now uses Verizon Cradlepoint devices, which are often distributed to drivers when they get their bus-route information and keys. Five buses with the longest routes permanently have the Wi-Fi devices, which are attached to the dashboard of the bus and plugged into a bus power outlet.
The Verizon devices act more like a cellphone and eliminate the need for antennae. Initially, the district spent $250 to acquire units and paid a $40 per month user fee for each. But now, Verizon has wrapped the costs into the district communications bill, and the district pays $15 per device, Mr. Nunes said.
The biggest problem these days is that there are not enough Wi-Fi systems to meet the district's needs, Mr. Nunes said. Parents will often call and complain if their children are on long bus rides without Internet access.
Experts say this type of program is fairly low cost and easy to replicate by other districts.
Evan Marwell, the CEO of EducationSuperHighway, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that advocates improved school broadband connections, said that even though it's not an overall solution to the broader problem of Internet access for students outside of school, equipping a bus is a "creative" fix that can have an impact on some students. "Schools are doing this, and it's making a difference," he said.
Mr. Nunes said his district has fielded dozens of inquiries from districts as far away as England and Australia on how to set up similar programs
The evolution of the bus hotspots in the Vail district has coincided with the evolution of schoolwork there, Mr. Nunes noted.
"Even the elementary and middle schools are shifting to more technology, and students are getting iPads and Chromebooks," he said. "Students who have the hardware can get their homework done, can go on Facebook, can do what they need to do."

We've talked a lot on this blog about how you as an individual and as a business need to adapt to the changing circumstances in the job market. You have to be better, more informed and more innovative to land a job, particularly at the higher levels.
Virtually everyone agrees that "good enough" is no longer good enough to get noticed today. You must be the best or you will never be considered for that job.
This means that everything your potential employer sees from you or about you must be quality. If you write a blog post, make it clean and grammatical. if you post on LinkedIn, make your posts the best. If you answer a question, make it the best and most carefully reasoned answer you can make.
Too many times we take the easy way out. On a medium as public as the Internet, where every potential employer will see what you say and do, make everything the best and you will be well on your way to success in this job market.
