If you ever find yourself sick of the endless commercialism of modern festivals then this little gem could be the antidote you have been looking for
Call me a cynic but it seems to me that if a festival starts selling branded bags so that punters can carry away all the tat they've bought then they've lost all rights to use the term 'music festival'.
Thankfully there are few still out there that put on a gathering designed to showcase new artistic talent rather than provide an outdoor retail opportunity and Knee Deep is onesuch.
Held in a secret Cornish location this tiny (licensed for 1000 souls) festival is the epitome of what makes for a great festival, with bands that you may or may not have heard of, people who want to listen to them and a relaxed, easy going atmosphere.
It's cheap but decidedly cheerful and mainly organised and run by a team of volunteers who do it for the love and a free ticket.
If you've ever read any of the pap that I write for these pages before then there's a good possibility you've come across me opining about the quality of musical choice that is on the KD bill. without doubt these guys have an unerring knack of choosing A1 quality of artists just before they break big which means that if you have attended Knee Deep you can sound like the big kid on the back of the bus when your mates suddenly discover Kate Tempest or Wolf Alice. "Oh yah I saw them at Knee Deep".
So anyway we were smart this year and got away good and early for the three hour drive across the South of England to find the tiny hidden away farm that houses Knee Deep. Immediately we are struck by the attitude of mind as we have a bit of 'bants' with the car park people involving colostomy bags. You had to be there.
Set up where you like (although not downwind of the very large number of toilets) and then off to catch the first band of the day, except we'd already missed the first one as we got talking to some lads from Leeds as far as I could tell.
First for us of the weekend were a particularly fine Alaska Alaska, a group that describe themselves as shouty indie punk but actually present a much more thoughtful musical face. We liked them.
Following hard on their heels were one of my favourite finds of the weekend - Husky Loops. I have no idea what that name means but in the great scheme of things it matters little, what does matter is the quality of their sounds.
Drawing on all sorts of influences their music is partially European (the guys are Italian after all) but is certainly channelling some of the darker, older Kasabian tracks to give a kind of rich rock sound.
I first saw The Magic Gang a couple of years ago at Common People when a fellow tog was raving about them. I thought they were good at the time but the intervening years have been kind to them and their sound is, whilst still a young millennial version of the lambrettas, much more honed and tight.
The guys exuded confidence on the main stage and I get the impression that they are just one great hook away from stardom.
About this time we decided to go and get a tea and slice of cake to round off our day (I'm not big on dance tents) and the family feel was enhanced by buying the victuals from Fred's (one of the chief culprits of Knee Deep) mother who later provided us with the largest scotch egg I have ever seen. I got through it though.
We also found that at any point of the day or night (or early morning) you can end up chatting about music to a random from some other part of the country. At Knee Deep people always ask the same questions, who have you enjoyed, what other bands do you like, where do you listen to live music. It's not just marketing fluff - knee deep really is all about the music.
Knee Deep is a Friday/Saturday festival and it does in fairness attract a large number of young people who are away from mum for the first time. Similarly there is little distinction between day and night so if you are a light sleeper then it's possible you may have problems being kept awake by people who are just 'high on life'. Our neighbours managed to sing their last song around 5.15 am. Which was nice.
Shout out by the way to the organisers who designed an exclusive Knee Deep cup for getting your beer in. It was a quid (it would've been a fiver at Bestival) and it was re-usable which absolutely cut down the amount of plastic glasses that were floating around the next morning.
Next day and we're up bright and early at 1pm to see Average Joe. Joe hails from the birthplace of Robbie Williams but we didn't hold that against him and listened on intently with, in my case, a puzzled look on my face. Was he serious, was it a gag?
There were some really quite dark lyrics in there but also a great sense of timing as the rude songs came to an end just as some small people appeared. Well done on that Joe Average.
In a line up switch on the main stage sistertalk kicked off with a set full of off key, haunting melodies. With their 20s gangster costume kitsch and doom laden sound they look like one for the future.
One of the bands I'd been looking forward to were Krush Puppies. They may have only been around a short while but they seem to be gaining some notice around town (and I don't mean Liskeard). They were worth waiting for as their heavily guitar packed sound lit up the early afternoon field.
Think Souxsie Soux and you'll be on the right track. The band themselves at times looked lacking a little in confidence which they absolutely shouldn't be because they really were epic.
Black Midi are one of those groups that seem to appear, a bit like a creepy uncle from behind at a family wedding, all of a sudden that are just there.
What do we know about them? F All. But they are one of those bands that make you sit up and take notice. They are doing different stuff which whilst it may not have totally settled down into its finished form yet is looking very much like it will turn into something very interesting indeed.
Very strong Bass lines, epic drumming, I can't give any higher praise for these guys than say Cardiacs.
At some points we did a load of wandering. Knee Deep is small but perfectly formed in that there is something going on all the time but you aren't overwhelmed by the modern phenomena FOMO. We happened upon a synth workshop, poetry readings, ceramics and championship knitting. You won't get bored here.
You also won't get bored if you are watching Sports Team. Two years ago I loved seeing these guys and was convinced that they'd go onto bigger and better things. Appearances for the beeb and at Reading and leeds would suggest I was right (aren't I always?).
Sadly they weren't provided with a radio mike so lead singer Alex Rice (aka Dave Spivey) was partially confined to within a few yards of the front of stage but that didn't stop him disappearing at one point into an appreciative crowd.
Testament to the band and to the Knee Deep effect was that many of the crowd remembered them from last time around and were, as I was looking forward to seeing them again.
High energy rocky, punky indie sounds with a frontman that conjures up a babyfaced Mick Jagger, you can expect them to go onto bigger and better things and they again provided one of my highlights of the weekend.
Barney The Artist is an East London based hip-hop rap artiste and sat nicely in the Loyle Carner slot. A man with a wicked sense of humour who got the crowd dancing and received a well deserved encore. It looks like Knee Deep have uncovered another gem.
In 2016 Matt Maltese took his shirt off and it seems like the trauma of that has taken its toll as he not only made reference to it in his set but he made sure he kept a shirt and jacket on at all times (and probably a string vest). I think I have some photos from 2016 if Matt would like to email me for my paypal details...
Matt's persona is of some sort of seventies lounge singer but his songs are anything but. Listen to the lyrics of 'like a fish' for example and you'll see why.
Finally for us Free love bounded onto the main stage to bring the live music to a close. We'd been tipped off by Aaron who'd done one of the art installations (did I mention the epic Artworks?) around the site although it appears the band used to be called Happy Meals. One suspects trademark infringement.
Anyway bounded is indeed the word as singer Suzi Rodden was a ball of energy leaping from one side of the stage to the other and diving into the crowd and tying them up with her mike lead. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't the best for photography so the pics by this time of night were a bit sketchy but hopefully you get the idea.
The music went on for some hours after but as previously discussed I'm not a fan of dem DJ's so went off to find a cup of tea and have a chat with Fred's mum.
Overall then?
Knee deep never fails in providing challenging bands. Some are at the 'start of the journey' shall we say but some are pretty well there and KD pick them up. Favourites for the weekend were probably Black Midi, Sports team and Krush Puppies but there were some excellent acts on show.
This is a great festival. It's the thing that the owners of the big festivals have forgotten. It's not about the merch, or how many likes you can get on Facebook or how many trolleys you can rent to middle class families.
It's about the music and having a great time.
When I get asked which are my favourite festivals there are always two that turn up - Beautiful Days and Knee Deep.
Both share the same attitude funnily enough in that they have laid back security, staff that you can have a bant with and bands that you've never heard of.
I may never get invited back to Beautiful Days though because I told them that Knee Deep was my favourite.
Honesty isn't the best policy it turns out.
The Gallery
It was a challenging weekend for the photographer.
If I'm being kind to myself some of the lighting was really difficult but sometimes you just have an off weekend.

Many of use will see a clothing item at a store and fall in love with it until we see that it says dry clean only. Don't let this turn you away, there are many things that say dry clean, but can be washed at home.
What to Dry Clean
Wedding Dresses
This should be obvious to most people. Wedding dresses have to be dry cleaned because first of all wedding dresses would not fit in a washing machine at home. Second, your washer would destroy the delicate and fine fabric wedding dresses are made of. To preserve your wedding dress, and to keep it looking nice for years to come dry cleaning is a must!
Dresses with beading, sequins, etc
Dresses with embellishment such as beading or sequins need to be brought to the dry cleaner. Dresses with embellishment need to be dry cleaned because the embellishment would otherwise fall off in the washer or dryer. Also, dresses with embellishment are often made of fabric that needs to be dry cleaned such as silk or taffeta. Fine dresses can often be worn a few times before they need dry cleaned, this can save you lots of money.
Suits and Tuxedos
Like wedding dresses, suits and tuxedos are not items that you want to wash at home. They too need to be brought to the dry cleaner, because they are made out of fine fabrics like wool. Suits and Tuxedos can also be worn several times before they need to be dry cleaned.
Wool Coats
Wool coats need to be brought to the dry cleaner too. Wool shrinks very easily, and no one want that to happen to their coat. Wool coats can be worn for an entire season before they need to be dry cleaned though. I always bring my wool coats to the dry cleaner in the spring or summer, then they are all clean for fall and winter.
Anything Silk, Acetate, Velvet or Taffeta
Any clothing item that is silk, acetate, velvet or taffeta needs to be dry cleaned. These fabrics do not do well when washed at home, they will wrinkle, shrink etc. If you want these fabrics to continue to look like new for years to come they need to be dry cleaned.
What Not to Dry Clean
Wool and Cashmere sweaters
Most people would think that wool and cashmere sweaters need to be brought to the dry cleaners, however this is not the case. To wash wool and cashmere sweaters at home turn them inside out, wash on cold and delicate cycle, and hang dry flat. Make sure you wash on cold and hang dry, this will prevent shrinkage!
On several higher end jean brands the tags say to dry clean. You do not need to dry clean these high-end brands. Jeans can be worn several days before washing, this will help to increase the life of your jeans too. To wash your jeans, turn them inside out and button, wash on cold with like colors, and hang dry.
Cotton, Linen, Polyester, Acrylic and Nylon
Clothing made of cotton, linen, polyester, acrylic and nylon can always be washed at home. If you want to prevent color loss wash on cold. If you want to prevent shrinkage, skip the dryer and hang dry. If any of these fabrics has embellishment such as beading, this item can be put in a mesh bag to protect it.
Lingerie can be put in a mesh lingerie bag and washed on cold and delicate cycle, or washed by hand. Never, ever dry lingerie in the dryer, always hang dry. If you are not sure if you should wash by hand or in the washer look at the tag. I find that most lingerie washing instructions offer good advice.
Dress Shirts
Dress shirts are an item that I see people bringing to the dry cleaner all the time! Most dress shirts can be washed at home. Before washing, make sure the shirt is not made out of silk, acetate, velvet or taffeta. Like all other items that can be washed at home, be sure wash on cold and hang dry. Also button the dress shirt all up before washing. If needed iron the shirt to get any wrinkles out. Many dress shirts today are washer and dryer friendly. Buy these instead and it will save you time and money!

For decades, figures of art advisers have been around, helping their clients to build a smart art collection. Using their knowledge and connoisseurship, they were there to consult, offer expertise and help track down specific artworks that their wealthy collectors were interested in. It was a rather small club of professional individuals whose role was clearly defined to differ from the one of, say, a dealer. They rarely made deals and were more likely to get the trust of all those rich businessmen looking for someone to take care of their arts purchases and trade, because they had no monetary interest or gain, once the sale of an artwork is finalized. In short, art advisers were simply there to do just that - advise, or in some cases, be the third party who gives its consent to a certain proposal. But today, as the waters of the art market are getting muddy and its prices are getting higher, many new players are taking over the stage, and their role is becoming very unclear.
It seems that, if you wanted to bump into a newbie art advisor, you only needed to make two single steps at an art fair. They are everywhere, and the catch is - a lot of them are not all that unfamiliar. Many of them have worked in the industry for years, usually in top positions for major galleries or auction houses. Take the examples of Amy Cappellazzo, former chairwoman of Christie's post-war and contemporary department, or Tobias Meyer, the regal chief auctioneer of Sotheby's, both of whom are now private art advisers. There are different explanations as to why the executives would ever leave these high positions - many are hungry for more power, more important artworks, and (much) more money: the above mentioned Ms Cappellazzo, for example, brokered the sale of the $82 million Rothko painting this spring, which brought her quite a fee - a fee she would probably never achieve at Christie's in her entire career.
It's cases like that one that raise many questions about whether being an art advisor today also means being an art dealer. Like we said, advisers never really gain from the deal they advise on. Rather, they are paid on retainer, or maybe a rate of $300 an hour, for example. These fees do not change based on the price of the artwork they recommend, yet many advisers today seem to work on commission, earning from 5 to 10 percent of the purchase price, and when we talk about millions of dollars, those commissions, as we could see, can be quite abundant. The "old" advisers, particularly those belonging to the Association of Professionals Art Advisors for example, typically charge 20% for artworks under $100,000 that clients purchase under their guidance, and that commission might go as low as 5% for works over $1 million. But it seems that their younger colleagues - or people trying to do what they do, at this point - took a little bit from the best of each art profession, like curator and art dealer, and turned into the single, most profitable one, taking the game to a whole new level.
This great new wave of people with more than enough expertise and connections represents a slightly alarming threat to the already established group of art advisers, who are basically looking at losing clients. Apart from dealers, many gallerists are now also acting as advisers, violating a principle of the Association of Professionals Art Advisors, which states that its members may not maintain inventory for sale. But why does it seem that everyone has a costly art advise to offer these days? The demand for advisers has grown in part because a newly rich collector needs help navigating the art trading business, which has become extremely expensive and very unpredictable, and it's the art advisors of today that are becoming more and more empowered at art fairs, galleries and auctions. Their attitude is fearless and their negotiations are aggressive - and that's something highly appreciated in the circles of wealthy businessmen.
While the old advisers rely on their experience to survive, and the new act on their hunger for money to take over, the art market is still holding on, although we might see the consequences of these turbulent client wars quite soon.

With dance music's booming popularity, the public's taste for the sounds they like seems to be more fleeting with every day. Artists whose bread and butter was once hardcore festival electro have quickly jumped on the Oliver Heldens bandwagon, changing their signature synths to grittier, deeper underground ones. While many welcome this change, with the huge wave that the trend has taken on there is one inevitability that has been a complaint of the dance community as it's grown: homogeneity.
Enter Jake Liedholm, (or as many once knew him, Jakob Liedholm) to renew our faith in the constantly evolving community. The Swedish producer who gained massive notoriety under his home country's signature melodic progressive house style at its fastest growing in popularity has since grown a little older, gone through a few monikers and some experimentation among other releases and mixes. And today, he goes on as "Jake" to give us a track that is a perfect evolution of his style in "Long Nights." Without forcing it, he's deepened his sound while keeping that old school progressive house energy and capriciousness. There's a grittiness that when paired with synths that by themselves could belong to a tropical house track, but here, are worldly, ethnic and unstoppable. Check out the track below and snag the download before it goes viral.

Yes you heard me correctly. You can make ANYTHING on the grill. Thanks to my Momma I've learnt how to make a lot on the grill this summer!! All you need is a brick or a patio block! Yup you heard me correctly….again. This recipe was inspired from Kelly over at Foodie Fresh. I changed a few things but not much!
This will make 2 meatloaf tins (8×4) and will easily serve 6. *****Make sure you scroll down to see the best tip you will ever receive when making meatloaf. *****I forgot for this recipe and I'll show you the importance of this little itty bitty tip!
1 pound grass fed beef, 90% lean
1 pound of ground turkey
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 Shallot, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Chop the shallot and red pepper (I tried to cut mine as small as I could because that's just the way I like it)
Combine all of the ingredients for the meatloaf in a large bowl. mix well.
Mix well. Get in there! Get your hands dirty!
Take half of the meatloaf mixture and press evenly into a loaf pan. Pour half of the can of diced tomatoes over the top (don't forget to drain the can as much as you can first) Also, feel free to use fresh tomato slices, I would have done that but I was out of them!
Make the filling:
Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tomatoes, then the basil.
Top the filling with the other half of the meatloaf mixture, pressing evenly into the loaf pan. Cover with tinfoil.
Make the sauce:
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small pot on the stove top. Lower heat and continue to cook until vinegar has reduced by half. Add 1/2 cup of tomato paste, salt, and garlic powder, stirring well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place a patio bring or just a brick on top of your grill. Place the meatloaf tins on top of the grill and set it between low and medium for one 45-60 min. It really does depend on your grill. My grill cooked it in 45, I just shut that side of the grill off while my veggies finished. 🙂 I took the tinfoil off, added the sauce on top (I saved some for dipping) and then let it cook a little more to warm the top.
Then you get this piece of goodness.
I served it with peas and a side dish I made with my Featured Co-Host from Friday. Check it out.
Look at the center of that! Cheese tomatoes and fresh basil, you can't go wrong!
****Now for the very important tip!!!****
Before you place your meatloaf (and this goes for any meatloaf you make) in the pan, place the heel of a loaf of bread in the pan. Add your meatloaf on top of the bread. Why you ask? Grease! Meatloaf is always moist, but I swear this makes my moms meatloaf different than any other meatloaf I've ever made. It just helps suck up the added grease that you don't need, the few times I've made meatloaf (my husband told me he didn't like it, but I think he does because he always eats it when I've made it the 4 times I have!) And every four times I have made it, I keep forgetting this tip!!!! Look what you may get if you don't use the bread….

You might be looking for another page with a similar name. If so, visit Scrooge (disambiguation).
Scrooge von Duck (Paperon von Paperoni in the original Italian) was an anthropomorphic duck.
While his sister got married and gave birth to one Victor von Duckenstein, strong-willed and stingy Scrooge von Duck was sent to study in Ingolstadt, which he claimed "toughened him up" on top of teaching him sound business. He returned to Geneva a rich, bitter and cold-hearted man. When his sister sent Victor to live with him, Scrooge did his best to raise him the only way he knew how: sternly and harshly, stifling any sign of creativity the boy showed. He also took in another ward, Daisy Beth, the son of English friends of his, who would later become the sweetheart of Victor.
He was unsuccessful, fortunately; but, after one of Victor's experiments nearly burnt down the family house, he sent him to study in Ingolstadt as well. This far from discouraged Victor, unbeknownst to Von Duck; with the help of two his professors he even managed to complete his magnum opus, an alchemically-created living painting — the monstrous Growl. On the day of Daisy Beth's marriage with another relatives of the Duckensteins, Gladstone Clerval, von Duck, who had enthusiastically (but cheaply) supervised the festivities, then took the lead in the manhunt that followed from Growl seemingly kidnapping Wilm, Wolf and Waldo von Duckenstein, the youngest descendants of the von Duckenstein family, who had also come to live with Von Duck in the Bellerive House.
Behind the scenes
Scrooge von Duck appears in the 2016 story Duckenstein.
As the story is one of the Grandi Parodie, he is a historical counterpart to a present-day regular — namely, Scrooge McDuck. As to the "Frankenstein parody" aspect of things, however, he is unique to the story, replacing Victor Frankenstein's birth parents, who were not absentee in the book. He is, in fact, closest to a minor character in the novel, actually Clerval's father, who wished to see his son become a businessman rather than further his education — ironically, in this version, it was in an act of rebellion that Clerval eventually set out to Ingolstadt, where his father had never set foot.
It is possible that Myopia von Duck, a scholar after whom a library in Duckburg is named, was a relative of Scrooge's; this would suggest that at some point, the Von Ducks followed the Von Duckensteins to Calisota.

text: BUSINESS Netflix Stock Drops 8% After Starz Renewal Talks End 8:21 AM PDT 9/2/2011 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Ryan Anson/AFP/Getty Images Analysts chime in on what the end of the streaming content deal means for the streaming video provider and Starz. NEW YORK - Netflix's stock fell sharply in early Friday trading after late Thursday's news that Starz would not renew a streaming content deal with the company. As of 11:15am ET, the stock was down 8.4 percent at $213.74. It has traded between $132.61 and $304.79 over the past year. STORY: Netflix Reacts: Starz Content Is 'Down to About 8% of Domestic Netflix Subscribers' Viewing' "We believe the loss of Starz content could be disastrous for Netflix and has the potential to start the downward spiral, said Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Tony Wible expressed concern about Netflix's outlook. "A loss of subs could leave Netflix struggling to pay the over $2.4 billion in off balance sheet content obligations, especially when one considers that it is losing money on an adjusted free cash flow basis." STORY: Starz Won't Renew Netflix Streaming Deal Barclays Capital analyst Anthony DiClemente is more bullish on the company. "We believe Netflix has a clear indication of what content is worth and the fact that it is willing to let Starz Play expire suggests to us the company is staying disciplined," he wrote in a report. "Netflix now has six months to redeploy its Starz…budget for incremental content and based on our discussions with studios, we do not believe that will be an issue." He maintained his "overweight" rating on Netflix's stock and his $285 target price. STORY: Netflix Price Increases Take Effect Thursday Lazard Capital Markets Barton Crockett commented on Netflix's statement that Starz accounts for only about 8 percent of viewing, down from a peak near 20 percent. But Starz's Disney and Sony movies "are a cut above the standard Netflix streaming fare in quality, recency and recognizability, and so probably confer brand advantages beyond hours viewed," the analyst said. "As other studios delay content access, Netflix appears to be moving toward lesser known, older content, while raising prices for the formerly core combo DVD/streaming plans." Overall, he concluded that the split is "riskier for Netflix than Starz." He rates Netflix stock at a "neutral."

What Makes Samsung Such An Innovative Company?
There are critics of Samsung who argue that its success is mostly due to copying and then tweaking the innovations of others. There is a good deal of truth in this, especially around the early Galaxy designs.
But Samsung is a global leader in screen technology, TVs, batteries, and chip design. So in terms of innovation it is doing a lot right. But we know very little about how.
We know how its competitors innovate – we look at Google and see the 20% time, the big adjacencies, the search for disruption, the bold statements about the future of autos, for example.
We know that within Apple when a project gets to a critical stage, the company assigns three teams to its development, each of which competes against the other. We know the importance of design thinking, an attribute Google is learning about. And of customer experience.
What does Samsung do in comparison? How does it line up against these American masters or conversely are Google and Apple good enough to compete against Samsung?
There's no doubt that patent circumvention is an aim when Samsung innovates. From its early forays into innovation, competing against Toshiba in washing and drying machines, Samsung has chased patents in areas where its competitors appear to have protection and has oriented its innovation efforts to find new patentable ideas in its competitors' backyard.
Samsung has nurtured a close relationship with the Russian Academy of Science since then. There is a framework agreement between the two parties. And the Korean Government has its own agreement under which it funds Korean small businesses to develop projects on the back of Academy research. Samsung meanwhile appears to help the Academy to increase its patent count and to exploit its inventions.
The relationship with Russian science was the introduction of TRIZ, an innovation method that Samsung adopted from 2000 onwards but which only reached American companies from the mid-2000s onwards.
TRIZ is a methodology for systematic problem solving. Typical of its origins in Russia, it asks users to seek the contradictions in current technological conditions and customer needs and to imagine an ideal state that innovation should drive towards.
Samsung had early successes with TRIZ, saving over $100 million in its first few projects. It was also adopting Six Sigma at the time.
But it was TRIZ that became the bedrock of innovation at Samsung. And it was introduced at Samsung by Russian engineers whom Samsung had hired into its Seoul Labs in the early 2000s.
In 2003 TRIZ led to 50 new patents for Samsung and in 2004 one project alone, a DVD pick-up innovation, saved Samsung over $100 million. TRIZ is now an obligatory skill set if you want to advance within Samsung.
At the Samsung Advanced Institute for Technology, Hyo June Kim, who wrote The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, a foundation text on TRIZ published in Korean, trained over 1,000 engineers across Samsung companies in 2004 alone.
At Samsung even the subsidiary CEO has to take TRIZ training. From looking at the various presentations I estimate that engineers get about 15 days of training plus 7 days specific project work. That's quite an investment in method and people.
So the answer to why Samsung is so innovative – with at least two major product announcements this month – is that it is heavily invested in its people, it goes in search of special talent wherever it can find it, but specifically made astute moves into Russia early on; it targets its innovations towards specific competitors and patents that it wants to overhaul (as Apple did under Jobs); and it has an innovation culture based on extensive training, repeatable methodology and creative elite formation, backed by the highest levels of management.
Je suis Charlie : no innovation without free ideas
There is no way with integrism and destruction of people and ideas.
There is no innovation without free idea and ability to think what women an men want to think.
There is no possible solution if there is not the indignation of every citizen facing human barbarity.
Freedom of thought must be defended by all.
Happy new year 2015 with the 777 wishes!
During this first day of 2015, I would like to wish everyone: "happy new year 2015".
777: 7 wishes for 7 days on 7
1. May this year be full of innovations
2. Creativity better released in businesses and companies
3. Error really allowed by the management
4. Failure an opportunity to learn
5. More people able to think out-of-the-box and start over
6. Digital age taken as an opportunity and not as a tragedy
7. Unthinkable ideas allowed to anybody anywhere…
I thank everyone who helps me every day with their creativity through their knowledge, their ability to go beyond the yellow line, to update this web site and to promote innovation whether technological, industrial, organizational , structural or moral.
I also thank the detractors, those who question our thoughts, our ideas, our views, and that helps me to see things differently, with a different angle or with new analyzes.
To all, a very good year 2015.
The third industrial revolution and the digital age
I had the chance, on Thursday December 4th 2014, to participate to a lunch, organised by a French consulting company named Weave. This lunch was led by Frédéric Simottel from BFM Business and Gilles Babinet invited to the lunch. Gilles Babinet is the Digital Champion, representing France to the European Commission. Gilles was the first president of the National Digital Council, French organization set up by Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France at that time. As part of this lunch, Gilles Babinet, developed themes of his book "The digital era, a new age of humanity".
Indeed, in the 18th century, the invention of the steam engine, starting with prototypes, produced in the 16th century, leads to the first industrial revolution. This revolution is characterized by the mass production of products, more and more sophisticated, and makes possible the industrialization of increasingly complex processes, in all sectors of activity (goods production, transport, …). In the 19th century, mining large quantities of oil, and the invention of internal combustion engines and electric motors using electricity produced from coal, results in the second industrial revolution, with power machines, which completely change the functioning of the economy and boosting the exchanges.
Gilles Babinet says that, in the 20th century, the advent of computers in 80-90 years causes the transition to the digital age, the third industrial revolution. The computer starts at the beginning of the 40s, with the radar and after the transistor in the 50s. But the revolution is actually happening 60 years later, in the 2000s, when every employee has a computer and a smartphone to communicate with his business. Again, all means of production are affected: there are no longer produced well without computers to manage production, to drive robots, to compute the accounts of the company or to boost innovation of them. No sector is spared: producing agricultural crops through computers (in tractors, for the weather forecast, for the accounts …) or producing goods through computers (to control robots, to communicate between people a company, to communicate by producing adverts…). Innovation, exponential, through simulation that allows the digital age, is totally boost by the third industrial revolution; This is why we hear so much of it after this revolution.
All sectors, all company departments, all people are affected. Gilles Babinet is exciting; these analyzes are very interesting. Summarizing the situation, we can estimate that currently there is an industrial revolution emerging each century. And it takes time between the emergence of the new revolution and its application in the industry at every level of the company.
It is interesting to imagine what could be the next industrial revolution. I have my idea about it … I think things will start to emerge within 30 years; and it will take 30 years for the fourth industrial revolution take shape. Until then enjoy the 3rd, transform our businesses to make maximum use of capacity through permissent this 3rd revolution and trying to anticipate the 4th.
7 Ways to Create a Culture of Innovation
How companies can nurture innovation and motivate their talents to bring innovations forward?
Each company is destined to get the results it gets. What I mean by this is that poor organization, lack of solid and sustainable innovation culture lead to poor results, and more than before, to a company's trouble or death.
Smart business leaders shape the culture of their company to drive innovation. Success and constant positive results come from the implementation and execution of strategies, business models, structure, processes, technologies and incentive systems that encourage innovation.
1. Define your company's mission around innovation
Many companies don't have a mission statement, but for those which do, often times statements use generic terms, such as "best product in the world", "best customer service"… They do not inspire employees to innovate. A strong and inspiring vision should be framed around how the company works to change its customer's world, for the better.
2. Create the structure to allow employees to experiment new ideas with unstructured time
Successful innovative companies give time to their employees to get away from their daily tasks, to work on personal or company projects not directly related to their work. Then tap into this creative process.
3. Recognize employees's contribution to the innovation process
Some companies offer monetized incentives. It is hard to assign a $ value to innovation; this is good for sales teams. Some companies give annual innovation awards; it is a good initiative for a short term, but it creates more competition than it encourages collaboration and creates emulation.
4. Return to the past
No new idea is completely original. Some concepts may not have materialized for various reasons, but it is always good to look at the past and understand why it did not work out. You avoid future mistakes, you can find ways to better the products (new technology, new process, new skill…). Start-up companies which by definition don't have a past can look at what's be done in the industry, what did not find success, and bounce off this to create something new.
5. Pay attention to culture, not trends
Culture is mass ideology – a system of values and beliefs that runs so deep we don't question it. There's an American belief in personal invention and reinvention. You see that in social products like Snapchat and Instagram, which allow us to invent ourselves in the moment. They may seem like a trend. But they reflect a deep underlying value.
6. Continuous education
Self-development is the key to employee's success. In the same system where company should create a structure for unstructured time, those same companies should create time for continuous education. Allow employees to seek new interests, learn and develop new skills.
7. Allow failure
The essence of innovation is that it takes multiple experiments to successfully create new products, solutions, services. Failure is part of the innovation process. When employees are not afraid of failure, they will feel empowered to take risks and be "crazy".

Nigerian scientist wins MIT's World Top Young Innovators Award
Yemi Adesokan, 35- year based Nigerian born researcher, has put his country's name on the map of nations of innovation.
Adesokan's discovery which has potential to change the way mankind responds to disease pathogens, according to experts, may bring an end the era of increased burden of drug resistance in the world particularly, in sub Saharan Africa.
When he moved to United States in 1996, little did the young innovator have realise that he was going to rub shoulders with some of the greatest names in scientific technology.
But today, Adesokan who has been listed by Technology Review, an independent media company owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) USA. as one of the TR35 Award of the 2011 World top innovators. Past recipients have included Sergey Brin (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and Konstantin Novoselev (later a Nobel Laureate in Physics).
Adesokan is being so specially honoured for his work in the application of next generation sequencing to clinical diagnostics. Adesokan, who is also the founder of Pathogenica Inc., was selected as a member of the TR35 class of 2011 by a panel of expert judges and the editorial staff of Technology Review, who evaluated more than 300 nominations.
This work is being carried out by a biotechnology startup that I founded with Prof George Church of Harvard Medical School DNA technology. The Pathogenica's test kits are able to identify the presence, allowing for physicians to screen for multiple diseases with accurate results and a rapid turnaround.
Sequencing technologies have improved a million – fold in the past seven years, bringing scientists a wealth of individual genomics and the key now is to employ the data to improve clinical practice. The DNA sequence of each individual or organism is unique, and is the most detailed signature for identification.
This year marks one decade since the completion of the Human Genome Project, a three billion-dollar effort to sequence a human genome.
A major issue in Nigeria today, is that some sterilised water may contain harmful pathogens. The technology is useful in screening a range of pathogens in water, livestock (poultry, etc.), and in food manufacturing. The key point for this technology is its high multiple. As it scales up, we actually see a reduction in price.
With the innovation, the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped more than 40,000_fold since that time to just $5,000 today. The price continues to drop. We are applying this fast, inexpensive technology in a unique way to improve routine clinical diagnostics.
What is a disruptive innovation?
Disruptive innovation, a term of art coined by Clayton Christensen, describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors.
As companies tend to innovate faster than their customers' needs evolve, most organizations eventually end up producing products or services that are actually too sophisticated, too expensive, and too complicated for many customers in their market.
Companies pursue these "sustaining innovations" at the higher tiers of their markets because this is what has historically helped them succeed: by charging the highest prices to their most demanding and sophisticated customers at the top of the market, companies will achieve the greatest profitability.
However, by doing so, companies unwittingly open the door to "disruptive innovations" at the bottom of the market. An innovation that is disruptive allows a whole new population of consumers at the bottom of a market access to a product or service that was historically only accessible to consumers with a lot of money or a lot of skill.
Characteristics of disruptive businesses, at least in their initial stages, can include: lower gross margins, smaller target markets, and simpler products and services that may not appear as attractive as existing solutions when compared against traditional performance metrics. Because these lower tiers of the market offer lower gross margins, they are unattractive to other firms moving upward in the market, creating space at the bottom of the market for new disruptive competitors to emerge.
The age of the re-emergent technologies
Ryan Raffaelli, of Harvard Business School, has examined examples of "re-emergent technologies" in detail. The most striking example is the Swiss mechanical-watch industry. In the 1970s it was almost washed away by a tide of cheaper and more accurate digital watches. Today the industry is more successful than ever, providing the country's largest source of exports after pharmaceuticals and machinery, and the engine of its revival is the old-fashioned wind-up watch.
There are plenty of other examples of re-emergent technologies. Sales of fountain pens collapsed in the 1950s with the arrival of cheap ballpoints; since the mid-1970s they have enjoyed a steady revival. Trams looked destined to become nothing more than tourist attractions in proudly quaint cities such as San Francisco and Paris. But hundreds of cities in the world have either installed new tram systems or have plans to do so. Sales of vinyl LPs in the world have increased from almost nothing in 1993 to more than some millions in 2013. The number of independent bookshops is rising for the first time in decades.
How do businesses go about reviving old technologies in the face of so much innovation? Mr Raffaelli argues that the key to success lies in redefining the product's value and meaning. Swiss watchmakers redefined their products as status goods rather than a means of telling the time. That they are so much harder to make than digital watches added immeasurably to their desirability. Independent booksellers are redefining themselves as communities where people who care about books meet and socialise. Trams are re-emerging as a green solution to both pollution and urban sprawl: a striking number of the cities that are adopting them are formless sunbelt cities.
This redefinition demands a careful balance between tradition and change. Revival businesses often need to cultivate a close relationship with their craftsmen and customers, who may see themselves as guardians of a great tradition rather than mere employees or consumers. The Swiss watch industry arguably survived only because collectors kept paying record prices for watches at auctions and skilled craftsmen refused to abandon the old ways: when Zenith decided to throw away its mechanical watchmaking moulds at the height of what Swiss refer to as "the quartz crisis", one old-timer decided to store them in a shed instead, wheeling them out once again when the luxury market took off. Revival businesses need to peddle their back-story remorselessly.
However, while peddling their traditions and reassuring customers and craftsmen that they are holding true to them, revival businesses also need to be willing to change. Nicolas Hayek and Ernst Thomke saved the Swiss watch industry from impending death by applying a succession of electric shocks. In a series of deals they brought together a bunch of ailing businesses into the mighty Swatch Group, whose sales last year reached SFr8.8 billion ($9.5 billion). They fought back against cheap digital watches by first redefining Swiss watches as fashion items, with Swatches, and then redefining them as luxury items, with brands such as Breguet, Blancpain and Omega which sell watches for six-figure sums.
Revival industries need to be willing to take tough decisions: for example, sacrificing market share to new entrants while holding firm on price. They also have to be ready to reorientate themselves to new markets: the Chinese have proved enthusiastic buyers of Western heritage goods.
Why We Are Innovation, and not robots.
In the near future, we may be wondering what makes us different from all these machines that can now combine power, knowledge, rapidity and some sort of intelligence of their own, some sort of experience, to work instead of us. If they can find the right words for the right events, analysing everything we say and the way we share it, if they can go up to create algorithms that can reflect feelings and emotions, what will make our work different from theirs? A question Jeremy Garner analysed in this article in Business Insider.
Here's a few reasons shared on WAI social networks which show there are a few yet most important core reasons why we make better innovators than robots and machines. They are so much worth reminding the obvious.

Connected car: new model building by Google
This is incredible to see how Google progressed within 1 year about their program "Google self-driving car project". This is now not anymore, a concept with technical tests using a Toyota cars, as it was last year, with Prius or Lexus RX; this is not anymore a technical solution with engineers embedded in these cars, checking the issues of the software developed.
This concept allows Google to propose a completely automatized car without any steering wheel nor any pedals of acceleration or brake nor any engineer embedded in the car.
A new model of usage born
These cars will not be sold by Google; the cost of cars remains too expensive from now; some rumors speaks about a price of 1 million of dollars for the first Google cars, if we integrate manufacturing costs and R&D costs included; and the running costs of these cars is unknown for the moment; for sure, limited people could buy these cars if they would be allowed to buy them.
These cars will be firstly rented by Google to replace your car to go to supermarket, to go to airport or to go some meetings in your town. This model reinvent the usage of transports.
On one side, this car can be compared to a public transport, completely optimized: the car is able to take you everywhere; and you can go everywhere; this car is a two places car, it doesn't take a lot of place in the road circulation and you don't need to park them; the car is able to know the traffic jam and optimize the way to go to the destination.
On the other side, this car can manage all small "travel" corresponding to 80% if car usages. This is a complete revolution for the car manufacturers in the next 10 years; in this case, people will not buy anymore a car; what is the interest if you can "call" a car when you need it?
Of course, it means that there will be enough "automatized" cars available in one place as big towns. This is also a complete revolution for taxi or public transports: this automatized transport can be very competitive in the next 10 years and completely change the model of transports in big town.
Continuous disruptive model as Business model
This revolution is exiting because Google, a "big" company with 50000 employees and 60 billions of turnover, is able to make some disruptive innovations on many different sectors every year!
Generally, companies are able to make one disruptive innovation every 10 years; and when it is more, a big risk of failure of the company can be predicted. In the case of Google, it seems not; their Business model seems to be constructed on their capacity to continuously be able to build some disruptive concepts with a lot of synergies with existing profitable activities they also manage.
A lesson to be learn by many worldwide companies if they would continue to exist in the next decades.

Thinkers50 China Launched in Qingdao
Groundbreaking new partnership to explore leadership and management innovation in China and beyond.
QINGDAO, CHINA. Thinkers50, the global platform for management thinking, today announces a groundbreaking new partnership with the world's leading white goods manufacturer, Haier. The new Thinkers50 IdeasLab China will be based at Haier's headquarters in Qingdao, China.
The development of Haier is an eye-catching corporate story by any standards. It was in 1984 that Zhang Ruimin took over as Director of the Qingdao Refrigerator Factory. The small collectively-owned factory was losing money. Others had tried to turn the venture around and failed. Money had to be borrowed to pay wages and products often had to be repaired before leaving the factory.

IA: I was talking to a previous interviewer about how formats create the intention and maybe the parameters of a song. Like, the 7-inch really pushed the single track. It fit for radio. It was a great format for radio: It played for two or three minutes, the DJ could speak over the introduction. So I think there's a generation of artists who are writing very much for that modality and format. The thing I'm alluding to is: Here we are writing singles. You know if something's a single. Why weren't "Wild Hearted Son" or "She Sells Sanctuary" 12 minutes long? The Doors hit on something with "Light My Fire." Its original incarnation was six and a half minutes long because they added a keyboard solo. But it's a societal fucking format, so you start writing singles subconsciously, and I think "Wild Hearted Son" very much came out of that mindset. It was a muscle that we'd been flexing since "Spiritwalker." You look at "She Sells Sanctuary," "Rain," "Love Removal Machine," "Wild Flower," "Fire Woman"… We had a way with this kind of three-and-a-half minute rock 'n' roll song, a certain animal that just comes roaring out.
The idea of "Wild Hearted Son" was alluding to the outsider, the primal, the instinctual. Again, it has a very heavy Native American modality to it, but these are references that, when we look at indigenous people, they're the ones that really do live closer to the way things really are. They're much more in tune with the natural elemental environments, whereas we in cities and urban environments tend to live more dictated by media institutions, the policemen. It's very different when you're in a forest or in the mountains or a very natural environment, where different rules apply. There's a wisdom and intelligence that comes with that. So I think what I'm alluding to is the awareness around that, and it's about our value system as well.
AVC: Given that you were coming off the huge success of Sonic Temple, was there any pressure—either from the label or amongst yourselves—to come up with a similar-sounding follow-up?
IA: Absolutely. Sure there was. Everyone was like, "Give us more!" Believe me, the management we had at the time said, "Go do it again." And there was even some of that internally. But for me, I was in kind of a weak place. My father was dying of cancer—in fact, he'd just passed away—so I was dealing with that. And I'd been doing it for 10, 11, 12 years by then, so I was dealing with attrition as well, and I think that song and Ceremony as a whole came out of that place. But I think it was a very important record for us to make because I think it's probably the only record I can dig out of our canon where there was an agenda. We did that that one time, probably more so on that song. Actually, people love that song. We get requests for it all the time. But I think there's a reason why it's not in our set: Because we have far greater songs than that. That's not to say that we didn't put the energy and time into the song, but…
AVC: It was for the wrong reasons?
IA: Well, not for the wrong reasons. It's different when you're on the field and doing it. It's only when you get time and objectivity you can really talk about it. You just don't know. I'm sure there are times in your life when you take the easiest path. Like, if you don't want to piss off your wife, you might forget to share something. Do you know what I'm talking about?
AVC: I'm sure I have no idea.
IA: Oh, everybody knows what I'm talking about. [Laughs.] Of course we do it. We all do it. Sometimes you just instinctually go, "You know what? I think I'm gonna take the easy way this time." But when you're writing music, if you take the easy road, you get hit with a stick. If you play by those rules, you're gonna get hit by the same stick. We knew what we were doing, but we were lost, in a way. Jamie [Stewart] had left, Matt Sorum had gone to Guns N' Roses, my father had just passed away; there was a lot of inner tension within the band. It was fragmented. We were pulling in different directions, and I was pulling more toward Rick Rubin. I thought that was the way we should go. So it was more like we had a Broadway hit, and we had to do a follow-up. I don't know too many follow-ups that are as good as the original. The lesson at that point was, "You know what? Go with your gut. Go with your instinct, and stay with that."
You go to any artist's body of work, and you'll always find those transitional records. For example, like with Neil Young, he's got his computer-age album [Trans]. We tend to forget about that one, don't we? [Laughs.] And we forget about David Bowie's Labyrinth and all these other things because they're transitional things, but they're done in public. You're doing your laundry in public. And there's also the time pressure to create something, so you try out what you think is the best piece that you've got the time for. But then you go into the Ceremony album and you look at things like "Wonderland," which I think is an incredible song, and "White," which I also think is incredible and which we actually perform. You look at some of the songs on that record, and you go, "Wow, there are some really incredible songs that never really got to be fully worked through."
We never fully realized those songs. But the way we play them live… The way we play "White" now, it's one of the best moments in the set. When we made the Ceremony record, we had Charley Drayton playing bass and we had Mickey Curry, who played drums on Sonic Temple. So we had two session musicians plus Billy and myself, and it was very much like, Billy would play during the day, then I'd come in in the evening and finish it up. So we never really integrated on that record, whereas when we made the eponymous record in '94 with Bob Rock, the band was on the floor. All of us were on the floor, and it was an integrated band. And certainly with this record we've made now, Choice of Weapon, that's a fully integrated band, and you can see the difference. So this is how you learn. You learn in public.

O'Melveny & Myers LLP
Published April 2011
2011 Vault Ranking: 24
O'Melveny & Myers is one of the oldest firms on the West Coast. With five offices in California, it is still deeply rooted in the region. It has since spread to a total of fourteen offices around the world with well over one thousand attorneys, and has the largest China practice of any U.S. based law firm, with offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. It is a full service firm, most highly rated domestically for its litigation practices.
OMM was founded in Los Angeles in 1885, with its earliest work involving land litigation related to the ownership of Spanish haciendas and electric infrastructure in the region. As two World Wars raged past, the firm picked up a number of military contractors in the region as clients. The firm's biggest claim to fame maybe that of helping bring baseball to California: the firm represented the then Brooklyn Dodgers in successfully appealing a contract dispute before the Supreme Court.
In the latter half of the twentieth century, OMM followed the path of most major firms in the US, engaging in expansive exponential growth. Over that period of time it opened offices in four foreign countries and increased its attorney headcount by a factor of ten. This also allowed expansion of the services provided to cover a wide variety of practice areas.
Like almost every other major firm, recent years have lead to decreased revenue and profit. The firm underwent significant layoffs in both 2008 and 2009, resulting in an overall 8% decrease in numbers. An additional victim has been transparency in how associate bonuses are handled.
Practice Areas
Though it did not appear to be by design, OMM has developed a strong reputation for their litigation practice. More than half of the firm's attorneys are in the litigation group, and the firm has experience at every level of trial and appellate work. The firm has a very active Supreme Court practice, led by the chair of the appellate practice in Washington D.C., Walter E. Dellinger III. Dellinger successfully argued for a reduction in punitive damages against client Exxon in relation to the Valdez oil spill, and argued on behalf of the District of Columbia in District of Columbia v. Heller.
The firm's transactional work is not as well known on a national scale, but its New York office is highly rated in the region for its corporate and M&A work. The firm is more than capable of handling all manner of private equity deals, acquisitions, debt restructuring and the like. OMM also has an outstanding international practice, one of the most expansive in Asia of any American firm. It has a wealth of clients in China, Japan, and the region, involving a wide variety of cross border transactions and disputes.
The firm is ranked highly in the Vault practice area rankings in a number of categories, with top ten rankings in Class Actions, Labor & Employment, and Labor & Employment Disputes. It holds top twenty rankings in Products Liability, Antitrust and Antitrust Litigation, Appellate Litigation, White Collar Defense, Private Equity, General Commercial Litigation, Securities Litigation, and IP Litigation.
OMM's is nationally ranked by Chambers and Partners in Band 1 or 2 for Antitrust, Appellate, ERISA Litigation, and Insurance Dispute Resolution. It has Band 1 or 2 rankings in California for Antitrust, Bankruptcy, Employee Benefits, General Commercial Litigation, White Collar Defense, Media & Entertainment (both litigation and transactional), and Tax. In New York, the firm has a Band 2 ranking for Corporate/M&A and General Commercial Litigation.
Like with most firms, getting hired at OMM is not just about grades. It is true that the first step is finding a candidate that performed well in law school, but the firm also wants to see that there is a strong work ethic and a personality to match. An ideal candidate is one that was able to achieve personal successes while still performing in leadership roles, in addition to having accomplished personal skills. In the end, when deciding between qualified candidates, personality is often a big factor.
The firm runs a ten-week summer program in both its domestic and Asia offices. However as a word of caution: the firm encourages law students to apply to its Asia summer programs, but it generally does not hire first year associates there. Summer associates are assigned work by an attorney coordinator. They are expected to complete around ten assignments over the summer, covering a variety of practice areas. There are conflicting reports as to how strenuous daily life is as a summer associate at OMM, as some claim to bill as many as eight to ten hours a day, while others say summer associates are generally out of the office by 6 P.M. It is likely this varies by office, but most report that summers regularly work weekends from home.
The firm provides for unlimited attorney lunches with a budget ranging from $40 to $60 per person depending on the office. The program also includes multiple social events each week, including such things as baseball games and parties or concerts.
The summer class of 2009 received 82% offers, which while significantly lower than average, was still fairly good compared to many peer firms. The 2010 summer class was cut to half the size of the year before, but received 100% offers. Incoming associates in 2009 were delayed, but only by a few months, compared to the year or more that associates at some peer firms faced.
Compensation and Benefits
O'Melveny & Myers follows the standard lockstep system for salaries, beginning at $160,000 for first year associates. Despite the down economy, the firm has had no salary freezes. The firm has historically been a follower in terms of bonus amounts, either at or below whatever the market rate has been. In 2008, the firm matched the top of the market for bonuses for any associate who billed 1,950 hours.
However 2009's economic downturn greatly impacted how bonuses were handled. While salaries were not frozen, the firm went to a "discretionary" system for bonuses. There is no set billable hour requirement at the firm, but in the past anyone who billed 1,950 hours would receive a bonus. Under the new system, there is no express hourly minimum. Associates are unsure what is actually required to qualify for a bonus. Given recent layoffs, skirting the minimum may have larger ramifications than merely no bonus.
There is no official face time requirement, but associates should be warned that this varies by partner and by office. Vacation time also varies by office, ranging from three to four weeks, but most associates don't even use the majority of their allotted time. Other benefits include an in-house cafeteria at some of the larger offices, free soda machines, subsidized gym memberships, and backup child and elder care. New associates receive a $10,000 bar stipend and assorted moving benefits.
Most associates have a relatively grim opinion of partnership prospects at the firm. The firm maintains separate equity and non-equity partnership tracks, ranging from eight to ten years to eligibility. Associates passed over on the first attempt are usually considered the following year. However the best thing associates could say is that it was a long shot no matter how hard you worked, while a significant minority felt it was essentially impossible. Very few associates are promoted any given year despite the significant size of the firm.
Overall OMM fosters a relatively healthy work environment, in terms of large firm expectations. Junior and midlevel associates are generally satisfied with their work, and are given a high degree of autonomy to work on complex matters. This does change somewhat as higher seniority is reached, where senior associates begin to feel somewhat isolated, both from the juniors below them, and from the partners above.
In general the firm is made up of smart and friendly people. While the firm isn't homogeneous, there is a high amount of socializing, especially among junior and midlevel associates. There has been some added tension recently due to an increasingly competitive workplace because of economic trouble. The changes in the bonus structure as well as recent layoffs have had some effect on morale, but for the most part associates are weathering the storm.

Birth Definition of 'Brahma'
4th February, 1990
My dear Pranav,
You will be surprised to get a letter from me whom you hardly know. But we have met in your home, when you were busy doing sums. Your grandpa, who is my Guru, suggested that I should write to you a letter every week. I have to obey his order. Therefore this letter.
Again, he asked that I should write to you about Vinoba. Vinoba was a great THINKER, who was living amongst us till 1982. Very few people know him now, still fewer people read his books. But as you grow older you will know more and more about him, if you read his books. My weekly letters will tell you what I know about him. I will be very happy if these letters make you read more about Vinoba.
What I write will have numbers in brackets after the sentence. These numbers will tell you which book of Vinoba includes that sentence. This will be useful if you want to read more about Vinoba. Otherwise, you can forget them. If you find the letters themselves useless, please pass them on to someone who may like to read them. Your grandpa, for example.
Acharya Vinayak Narhar Bhave (VINOBA) was born on 11th September, 1895 at Gagode in the Raigad District of Maharashtra, about 125 Kms from Bombay, where you live. He died on 15th November, 1982 at Pavnar, 80 Kms from Nagpur or about 900 Kms from Bombay. This is just to tell you about History and Geography. All of us live at a place. So we relate to distances from that geographical point. You already know where you stay and have a picture of that place in your mind. That much geography is already known to you. After all, what is Geo + Graphy, but a graph or picture of Geo, which is our world. The dates of birth and death tell you how many years older or younger he was than you. Time being a continuous river, these dates tell you how many years before this day such a man lived. That is his story in time which we call History. Time and Place are two continuous straight lines. Where they cross each other, a point gets fixed. That point is you. There was some such point that was Vinoba. I want to introduce you to that point.
Vinoba has written and spoken millions of words. A few thousands of them are recorded in printed form. Those words changed my life. By telling you about those words I am doing my duty. Each one of us owes a certain duty to parents. It is called Pitr-Rna. We also owe a duty to our teachers. It is called Guru-Rna. My letters are my repayment of my Guru-Rna.
Vinoba was a firm believer in God. He is called Brahman. It is not some idol, though you can see it in an idol form or even in empty space. Once he was asked, "Are you as quite sure of God's existence as you are of the existence of this lamp in front of us?" He said, "I positively believe that God exists. As for the lamp in front of us, I cannot guarantee that it does in fact exists" (1). This is difficult to understand. You will learn later in your life when you read Bertrand Russell on "Reality and Appearance", how Russell proved logically that a table is possibly not a table (2).
Therefore, if you want to learn and understand Vinoba's thoughts, it is very necessary to understand that he was a firm believer in Brahman.
He explains this axiom in a simple way. We learn Geometry or Science (metry) of God (land or world). The first definition that is taught in Euclid's Geometry is that of a point. It has existence but no magnitude. It means that a point has no length, breadth or depth. If that is so, how can you "see" it? How can you "imagine" it? If you cannot imagine it, then how can you say that it "is"? But you start with an assumption of its existence. You start with its existence as a reality. The point moving in a direction is a line; a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. The intersecting lines, angles, triangle, rectangle and the whole of geometry, engineering and designing are all based on this definition of a point. Vinoba says that for him Brahman is such a self-evident truth. Because it "is".
I think, I have written enough for one letter.
With love,
L. N. Godbole

Online sources that are acceptable, and unacceptable
As citizens in an online world, we are often tempted to seek answers online. We use a search engine, enter a few words/terms, and boom! we go through the results.
Manage your temptations. Web API is a new framework. Much of the content you find online will not be useful. Some will waste your time. Some content is just plain wrong.
Until you gain some competence, use the "acceptable" sources of content (below), and avoid the "unacceptable" ones.
Acceptable sources include:
- The "online document collections" list, above
- Any ASP.NET Web API-specific content by Mike Wasson, Henrik Nielsen, Howard Dierking, Rick Anderson, Darrel Miller, Glenn Block, Scott Hanselman, Julie Lerman, Dino Esposito, Jimmy Bogard, Ladislav Mrnka, and others to be added to this list as time passes
- General web topic discussions by Roy Fielding, and others to be added to this list
- Content on StackOverflow.com that's tagged with [asp.net-web-api]
- Content on this website (the web services course web site!)
Unacceptable sources include:
- In general, search engine results, which do not link to the above sources
Be very careful about the content you find "out there" on the web. If you have concerns about the veracity and usability of something that you find, send a link to it to your professor, and you will receive feedback and commentary on it. (Maybe the content that you find will work its way up to the "acceptable" part of the list.)

Reduce Waist Size – Study on Animal Nutrition
Let me make a light but revealing comparison between ourselves and animals, for example how we can be healthier and lose that unwanted unsightly fat and reduce waist size.
Then you haven't seen an overweight animal unless it turned out a domestic animal being fed foods that cause problems. The point being, that from the wild animals aren't fat, not due to their body burns off fat well or because their food is digested much better than humans but because they consume the correct foods that nature designed for them. These foods supply the proper nutrition to call home healthily in their own realm.
Some Humans not just eat the wrong foods themselves, inside a feeble attempt to reduce waist size, in addition they feed their animals foods that cause problems that may result in their obesity and obese. These humans are feeding their animals foods that cause problems.
These inappropriate unhealthy food have things in them that over time cause various and varied diseases in both we humans who eat these foods and in their animals which are being fed these items.
I'll bet you did not know it, but the things present in some of these processed foods have reached the heart of domestic animals experiencing higher incidences of diabetes. What about Humans, can we reduce waist size healthily as we aren't more cognizant of the need for good food.
Therefore the only living beings that appear to make the wrong choices in food intake are humans and we're supposed to be the most intelligent! Exactly how should we reduce waist size and turn into fat free, if we don't understand food is the greatest prescription for our ailments.
Lets get with it if we want to reduce waist size and discover what the fastest weight reduction plan plans are and realize all of them are ineffective to a degree as not eating the right foods. Don't know what our domestic animals are to do but I think if we were to feed them the meals that nature intends, that they can would be healthier also.
