No matter what your business is, or what stage you are at, you need creativity. Without it, you won't be able to disrupt your industry, create new ideas, push your business forward and blow your competitors away.
However sometimes, it's a lot easier said than done. Being 'creative' and coming up with 'new ideas' can be as trying as, well, trying to run a business.
Sometimes though, in those moments of complete and utter annoyance, on the verge of giving up, is EXACTLY when you have to PUSH THROUGH.
This persistence is where you will gain some of your greatest creative ideas from. Here's why.
The Creative Challenge:
Commonly, when trying to come up with creative ideas we get 'stuck' and this is the headspace that we believe we are not going to get any good ideas from.
Adam Grant, Organisational Psychologist at The University of Pennsylvania, believes that it is in these exact moments that we experience discomfort when our fresh, original thinking really begins to happen.
"The first ideas that you think of tend to be the most conventional or the most obvious."
Which is why we have to push well past the first couple of ideas that we come up with.
How do we do that?
When you develop that initial idea, step away from it completely and challenge yourself to come up with 15 other ideas. Make yourself, even if you believe the ideas you come up with are no good at all, write them down, get to 15. It is in this space that we start to pull our most creative material.
The biggest challenge here is that we immediately restrict ourselves, making this challenge that much harder because we convince ourselves that we can't think of anything and are 'stuck'.
Remember that it is your belief that is restricting you, it is not your ability.
This is evident in a study led by the University of Chicago Psychologist Brian Lucas, with the title "People Underestimate the Value of Persistence for Creative Performance".
Lucas and his colleagues asked 24 University students to take ten minutes brainstorming as many Thanksgiving dinner dishes as possible. Then the students were asked how many more dishes they could come up with if they were given ten more minutes.
On average, it was estimated that the students would come up with ten more ideas … They came up with 15.
People constantly underestimate what they have the ability to think of, immediately limiting themselves.
It comes back to the often sung entrepreneurial song of not being afraid of failure.
When people have creative ideas that they believe are not good enough to share with others they won't. The problem with this is, you never know what will help spark an idea in someone else.
If you believe it's an idea that wouldn't work, someone else in your team might know exactly how to make it work, or while maybe not following that idea, have it remind them of another idea that would work.
Remember the greats:
It's something that is often forgotten about when we are in our daily hustle and grind, but the greatest creatives all had their masterpiece noticed by coming up with hundreds of ideas and piece of work that at first wasn't noticed.
Walt Disney was making cartoons for almost 20 years before he made it big with "Snow White and The Seven Dwarves."
Thomas Edison's most well know quote "I haven't failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work" is another testament to this.
Creativity happens after you have experimented. Once you have ruled out and eliminated the stuff that was familiar is when you start to come up with the things you haven't seen before.
Push your creative self forward:
Brian J. Lucas and Loran Nordgren have two main recommendations to help make sure your creative potential doesn't go untapped.
1. Ignore your first instinct to stop.
When working on a tough creative challenge, you will likely face a moment when you feel stuck and can't come up with any more ideas. You'll first want to quit and spend your time doing something else.
Temporarily ignore this instinct, especially if you're still in the early stages of the work. Try to generate just a few more ideas, or consider just a few more alternatives. You may find that your next creative idea was closer than you imagined.
2. Remember that creative problems are supposed to feel difficult.
Most involve setbacks, failures, and that "stuck" feeling. It's part of the process. Suppress your instinct to interpret these feelings as a signal that you just aren't creative or that you've run out of good ideas. Reaching your creative potential often takes time, and persistence is critical for seeing a challenge through to the end.
Put these into practice the next time you need to do some brainstorming around your business, and see what ideas start to flow.
We would love to know how you go in the comments below!

Metroid Prime/Analysis
The Metroid Prime Trilogy is about cancer.
I often wonder while playing it how much teamwork went on between Retro and Nintendo, because the central theme of the series is virtually unique to Japan: radiation. In fact, I can't think of any other whole culture in which "radiation" could be considered an honest-to-god theme along the lines of destiny or daddy issues. Some may say that the theme is more broadly about corruption, and that radiation is merely an aspect of this. But it's pretty hard for me to look at the conflict of the series (outside force falls from above to envelop the world in destruction and lasting radiation that warps everything it touches) as something that isn't intrinsically about Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
The enemy of the series is twofold: Metroid Prime (later taking the form of Dark Samus) and Phaaze, a sentient planet. The latter is, in essence, a galactic tumor. It has no purpose but to grow, corrupt, and destroy its host. It metastasizes through meteors, turning other planets into lifeless husks until nothing remains but Phazon. It never speaks, it isn't itself anthropomorphized (allowing the human-like role to be filled by its agent) and it has no greater ambitions. It is a primal, mindless, unrelenting force of destruction from the inside out.
Dark Samus, on the other hand, is a personification of the individual effects of cancer on its victims. After Samus defeats its original form, a gigantic corrupted Metroid (which, fittingly, first resembles a crab) the monster literally steals Samus's image. Phazon may be the cancer, with Phaaze at its malignant core, but Dark Samus is what we really fear most about the disease: something is trying to take our entire body away from us.
The third and final game in the trilogy makes the theme of cancer most obvious, what with the introduction of Phaaze's larger plot and Samus's own deteriorating health, but Phazon's role in all three games is cleanly tied with cancer. It starts at a source and spreads. It grows whatever is exposed to it. It feeds off life. It lies dormant, underneath the surface of visible symptoms.
There are other elements of the series and Metroid as a whole that are obviously also present, such as isolation and human-versus-nature; to me, the most powerful image in the trilogy is when Samus removes her helmet to take one last look at the ruins at Tallon IV, showing that despite her incredible feats she's still only human. But when I remember Metroid Prime, I don't think of Samus going it alone like in Super Metroid, or wiping out aliens left in right like in Metroid II. I think about the time when I suited up, powered through and killed cancer.

Internet marketing is a great way to get more profit for a low cost. There are many advantages to using Internet marketing, because the entire world could be potential customers, not just a select few. Learning how to optimize this resource is key to your success. Use this article for more ideas.
Your website's tag is the primary indicator for how people see your site, so make sure it accurately defines your purpose. This tag is a huge factor in how your viewers see your site, since it is visible above the browser window. A misleading tag can divert visitors. A tag that clearly identifies your site will bring the right visitors to it.
Closely evaluate the actions of your top competitors and analyze that data to formulate your own plans. If you find that you are interested in their products, or see why their customers would be, then pay close attention to how you can utilize some of these strategies for your own purposes.
You already have all of the tools that you need in order to be successful with internet marketing. Rather than expensive software or quick-money schemes, you simply need to use your innovative mind. With plenty of thought and effort, you will work through your decisions and strategies when it comes to marketing.
Give your customers what they want. If you have a website with just one page it will fail miserably. Include articles, reviews and any other content that helps potential customers know that your business is of high-quality.
Now you know considerably more than you did about internet marketing strategies. Don't be hesitant to try new things to gauge their effectiveness for your particular need. Minor adjustments in techniques may be necessary along the way. It is important to always be willing to seek out new ideas and new approaches.Copyright 2014 , All rights Reserved.

US Plasma Beam Opens "Hyper-Dimension" Over California
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
The High Command of the Aerospace Forces (HCAF) is reporting today that its Space Forces (SF) have detected a "hyper-dimensional" [of or pertaining to a system having more dimensions than naturally observed in our universe] "opening event" occurring over California after the firing of a US Navy Trident II missile.
According to this report, Space Forces experts who are charged with the monitoring of potential threats to the Federation in space and from space, and the prevention of attacks as needed, first notified the High Command on Friday (6 November) that a large US Navy flotilla operating off the Southern and Central coasts of California had closed the airspace over their operations area and notified their nations civilian authorities.
Even more concerning to these Space Forces experts, this report continues, was that at the same time this vast US Navy flotilla was preparing to fire a Trident II missile, Federation satellites operating over North American detected an enormous energy surge (plasma discharge) emanating from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory located in Menlo Park, California.
At approximately 0200 GMT (6 p.m. local California time 7 November) this early morning, this report says, a "peak energy" event was detected at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory while at the same time a Trident II (D5) missile was fired from the USS Kentucky, an Ohio Class submarine, in the Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California.
Upon the "meeting/joining" of the Trident II missile and the "plasma discharge" fired from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, this report explains, a "hyper-dimensional" "opening event" occurred in the skies over California and was witnessed by thousands of people who described what they saw as a UFO or meteor—but is more accurately described (as numerous videos show) as a "blue colored hyper-dimensional tear" following the instrument laden warhead used for measuring this event.

the day after the election. 2004
first let me say I am thrilled and releived that our fearless and errorless leader George W. Bush has been resoundingly Reelected by the fine people of ohio. (Ann, Pete, Sarah, nice work.) now with no pesky reelection bid to make, its time to let the policies fly. and a 4 vote margin in the senate, i think robert bork might still be available for that high court gig. woo hoo. i couldn't be more stoked!
some of you may have been confused by the tone of my rantings to date. if i led you to believe that i was in fact a left wing pinko nut then i apologize, you see, i was invoking my highly developed and ridiculously subtle sense of sarcasm.
those of you who know me personally can attest to my staunch conservetism, deep commitment to tax cuts, and unflagging practically fanatic pro life stance. plus i really hate gays...they're so....so...gay.
all of this is braced by my deep spiritual commitment to jesus christ our lord and savior. I'm sorry if, i have mislead you my dirty hippies. but please come to steel city with me on friday and help me celebrate 4 more years. Unless you are unable to attend because you got blown up in iraq.
i am just thankful that in these very complex times, we have a leader as smart as the people he leads.
and to all of you whiny liberal pussies out there, remember, he didn't steal this one, he actually won it. so don't be mad at him, you should be mad at me, and every other nascar loving, red state living, god fearing, marriage defining, fag hating, walmart shopping, arab hating, jew hating--but not as much as arab hating american.*
the die is cast my friends. you faggots lost your country, because as stupid as we red staters may be, it turns out we're smarter than you. can you believe that. you can't even outsmart a C student who can't talk good...all because you eschew the hiring of evil henchmen...suckers. you are all losers.#
you know what i feel like...actually you know what i would feel like if i wasn't a right leaning conservative republican jesus lover? i'd feel like when you're watching the jane fonda workout and she says 5 more 4 more 3 more 2 more 1 more 10 more...we had all hunkered down for 4 more and thought, oops, we fucked up in 2k, but we won't make that mistake again...but we...i mean you guys. got outsmarted. out strategized, out mudslung, outspent, outfoxed out outed and now you're out, that's why you're losers.
but not me, i'm a winner, and come out to steel city in phoenixville on friday, either to see what a winner looks like, or to join me in celebration.*
*um. if your gay, you can come, but not if your gay and married...cause there's no such thing you fucking fruits. god told me to hate you.
anyway i'd love to see you and sing some of my new songs like, "if you take my gun, i'll shoot you with my other gun" "exit strategies are for quitters" "(cut cut cut cut) my taxes" "Executioners for Pro-Life" "no wedding for Bruce" "i know what you've been reading" and other patriotic ditties
this will be my last full set of songs for the year, so i suggest you get your chapped asses out and see me so you can remember why you don't ever want to come to a show again.
#actually you should be mad at yourselves, and that stiff unengaging Dibbuk who you put up there to run. its time to find a message that resonates, and speaker who presents it. you were pussies, and chose Lurch cause he seemed least offensive. and now look where you are. you're a big bunch of losers who live on the edges of real america...god i hate you.

The world of academia has spent decades applying lots of money and countless big brains to research that reveals the WHY's of human behavior. But that knowledge rarely makes it off campus.
We're much more than an innovation consultancy, because we know this world of behavioral science cold, and we translate it to work in the world of brand innovation strategy.
This means the core human truths we provide aren't merely opinions – they're science. Which means your team can focus on addressing them, rather than debating them.
Phrases like neuroscience marketing, behavioral science research, neuromarketing, and ethnographic research are bantered about quite a bit. And yet, they rarely serve as more than mere buzzwords.
Here, they are far more than hype. They are the foundation that lets us reveal breakthrough consumer insights. That's because every principle we apply, and every model we've built, are not our opinions; they are the culmination of reams and terabytes of clinically-tested, peer-reviewed, scientifically-accurate knowledge of why we humans think and do what we do.
We measure The 9 WHY's and match them to real-world behaviors within a consumer context to reveal a true understanding for marketing teams.
Our strategy creation combines traditional behavioral and demographic measures with implicit, pre-conscious measures from the world of academic Behavioral Science. Together, this understanding provides a complete – and simple – explanation as to WHY people behave in the ways they do and more importantly, how to use this understanding to grow your business. Big time.
Our understanding of the basic building blocks of human behavior lets us study the context of a given business, category, or brand in a holistic way that's never been possible before.
In our quantitative studies, you'll see familiar demographics and behavioral questions – things that are easy for people to simply quantify for us.
Combining those with implicit, pre-conscious measures from neuropsychology lets us understand the ways people form perceptions and make decisions. In other words, we can get 'under the hood' of the WHY's behind behavior that consumers don't even consciously recognize themselves.
This stuff is kind of secret…just contact us, and we'd be happy to explain further.

Fatloss4idiots Opinions – What I Dislike About This Diet plan –
The Fatloss4idiots diet program has develop into 1 of the most successful meal plans on the current market now. There is no doubt that this diet program has been employed productively by countless numbers of people all all around the earth. It is also distinct from the countless evaluations and feedbacks, that people dropped a lot of bodyweight with this diet program, regardless of whether as minor as 15 kilos or as considerably as 75 kilos or additional.
On the other hand, as considerably as I value this diet program, there are some matters I dislike about Fatloss4idiots. I needed to share them with you.
Listed here are the matters I dislike about Fatloss4idiots:
1. The name – Fatloss4idiots is a amusing name, but I failed to believe it was amusing when I observed it for the to start with time. It can even be insulting. Later on, when I recognized that the name signifies that this diet program is so simple even an idiot can do it, my dislike for the name diminished. But I however believe that they could've selected an additional name.
2. The 9 kilos just about every 11 times unwanted fat reduction promise – Fats Loss 4 Idiots guarantees that you will drop 9 kilos just about every 11 times of use. I you should not like this promise due to the fact just about every human being is distinct and loses bodyweight at a distinct tempo. Absolutely sure, some people do drop 9 kilos just about every 11 times, some others do even better. But most of the people drop an normal of 6 kilos just about every 11 times. This is however a terrific bodyweight reduction charge, so I believe Fatloss4idiots could've performed with no the 9 kilos promise.
3. Lack of guidance – The most important draw back to Fatloss4idiots is that you you should not have a guidance group with this diet program. The explanation is that it's so simple to use that you you should not genuinely want any guidance, but at times it's nice to read anyone else's feedback and get some additional rationalization. That is why I wrote an in depth assessment of this diet program.
I want to make 1 thing distinct: Fats Loss 4 Idiots does perform. The actuality that there are 3 matters I believe they could've performed better isn't going to diminish the accomplishment of this diet program.

From the Food Democracy Now press release
It's springtime again and soon it will be summer and children across the country will be enjoying one of their favorite fruits — strawberries. Unfortunately, due to a poor decision last year by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and outgoing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, America's children will continue to be exposed to the toxic pesticide methyl iodide. [1]
Known as "one of the most toxic chemicals on earth", methyl iodide is a proven cancer causing agent as well as an endocrine disruptor and powerful neurotoxin. Allowing it to be sprayed on one of America's favorite fruits will endanger our children who eat them, farm workers, and local residents in California.
Already banned in New York and Washington because of its toxic properties, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now reviewing the 2007 Bush era decision to approve methyl iodide for agricultural usage. The EPA is asking for comments from the American public in helping them make the decision on whether or not to ban this toxic chemical for agricultural use.
More than 50 scientists criticized the 2007 approval stating that the review process was hidden from the public and the focus of the research was too limited. There is little left to debate on the safety and necessity for this chemical use. [2]
Let the EPA hear your voices loud and clear: NO Methyl Iodide – now or ever!
Please take a moment to register your comments today. It's easy. Here is suggested text but you are encouraged to use your own words to make it more impactful. Click on here to send your message to Lisa Jackson, EPA Administrator.
Recently, Time magazine revealed 3 different studies that demonstrate that pregnant mothers exposed to agricultural pesticides give birth to children with lower IQ's. [3]
It's time to let the chemical pesticide industry and our government know that you no longer stand idly by as they continue to put corporate profits over the health and safety of your families, farm workers, and the American public. Tell EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to ban the toxic methyl iodide from being used on our food and our fields.
Click here to add your voice to the public comment to make sure the EPA bans methyl iodide for agricultural usage.

The review panel's favorite test product…treats! Del Monte Foods hascome out with Milo's Kitchen dog treats whichcomeinchicken jerky, beef jerky, chicken meatballs and beefsausage shapes and flavors.Okay hounds, time to get to work!
Made with "100% real" jerky, meatballs and sausage, the treats actually look and smell like their human food equivalents. I couldn't believe how temptingthe beef jerky smelled but no, I just didn't have the nerve to bite into one.
In checking-out the list of ingredients, Milo's Kitchen gets a paws up since the first and primary ingredient on each bag is either beef or chicken but "no artificial flavors orcolors."There isa preservative listedthus the treat's 18 month shelf life.
The hounds love 'em. My gosh, if they spot one of their humans even near a bag of these treats, they go into immediate sit-lay-beg mode. In other words, they lose any shred ofdignity they may have been clinging to in theirdesparate attempts to garner one of Milo's savory snacks. Looks like Shake's favorite is the beef jerky while Joey drools obsessively and equally for all of them.
Milo's ktchen treats come in 3 sizes:
- Small (2.7-3.3 oz)
- Medium (10-14 oz)
- Large (15-20 oz)
They're pricedfrom (approximately)$3.50 to $16 and can be purchasedfrom a variety of on-line pet supply retailers includingbuy.com.

text: Thurs 27 March. Route 1095. Mae Hong Son – Soppong – Pai – Chiang Mai. Got out of Mae Hong Son at 3.45 pm, still in the heat, but it does start to "cool" off by then. The plan was for a night in Soppong at Phen's Little Eden and a bite to eat / drink with Joy at the Soppong River Inn, so it was a leisurely pace to Soppong. The road tends to be a bit different when you just cruise along "smelling the roses" as some would say, and generally I'd say route 1095 from MHS to Soppong is in good condition and no trouble whatsoever. I rolled into Soppong at 4.15 pm & scoffed down a couple of cold sodas. Joy from the River Inn was in Bkk & Phen from the Little Eden was heading for Pai to pick up someone, so that was then end of the night in Soppong. At 6.45 pm I reached Pai and hit the Baan Pai restaurant for a couple of chilled beers, only to find Pookie the super-sexy owner away in Chiang Mai. When you luck's out, you're luck's out. Anyway I got a nice room at the Rim Pai Cottage, one of the places I recommend to stay in Pai during the heat. If you get one of the shaded wooden bungalows there, they can be very cool. The gardens are glorious and when you wake up in the morning the sounds of all the birds chirping really is magic, not to mention the sound of the Pai river burbling by – the next morning I actually lay in bed for an extra 45 minutes listening to those wonderful refreshing country sounds. Sounds that you don't get in Chiang Mai city anymore. Note too that at the Rim Pai Cottage I don't think the bungalows priced at 600 baht plus are really worth the money. The 400 baht A-frame bungalows are great, especially the end few that are under the trees. And, in low season you can get the 600 baht rooms for 400 baht, which is what I managed this trip. Nighttime I had (quite a few) drinks with Oy at the Golden Triangle Bar, before and after hitting the new Be Bop Pub. The new Be Bop's a very smart looking pub for Pai and I'm real impressed how Chart & the boys have done such a brilliant job. The blues music is still awesome – Mojo's still in town playing, plus Chart himself. They've also got real drinks, with a good bar, and the place is air-conditioned. The only problem with the air con is that the exhaust fans aren't quite up to the job with the cigarette smoke, and if you're a non-smoker like me, the smoke will get to you real bad after a while. Next day, I got away from Pai at 2.45 pm. After a mere 10 kms the rain came down, and it was a wet ride all the way back to Cnx! With the first rains the roads are real greasy, and riding on bald tyres it took me 55 minutes to get the first 46 kms up out of the Pai valley! Not having any waterproofs also made it a bit of a challenge. By the time I got to Mae Sae, roughly half way, I was wet enough not to want to stop and have the usual cup of coffee and / or sponsors. I got into Cnx around 5.00 pm, the last 5 kms in the dry. The road surface on route 1095 coming up out of Pai is a bit squirly – one of those uneven ones that makes you think you might have a flat tyre, so be warned. It's a weird feeling riding when you think you might have a flat tyre. (Route 1129 from Chiang Saen to Chiang Khong is another like that, in some places.) The landslides on route 1095 have also been repaired, so that there are no real dirt sections on the road now, just a few corners where they have widened the road and some dirt has come across the road from vehicles corner cutting.

A leaked personal letter from the Home Office Minister Theresa May to David Cameron has been made public by the 'Daily Telegraph'.
In the letter the Minister advises the Prime Minister that the cuts being envisaged in the forthcoming spending review will have a profound and damaging effect on her Department.
The list of proposed cuts is startling:
1. The salaries of Judges will be halved
2. All speed cameras will be destroyed
3. Police cars will be reduced in number so that road accidents are reduced and money is saved
4. Her staff at the Home Office will be reduced by 40% meaning ministers will sometimes have to make their own tea
5. Prisoners will be released with passports to Pakistan so they can help with the relief there.
These are just some of the frightening proposals of the austerity package and they are likely to go through unless George Osborne can be made to see sense.
Theresa May's final warning goes to heart of the problem: To make Minister's responsible for making there own tea is bound to lead to resignations from the shadow Cabinet.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg are meeting George Osborne to ask him whether these cuts are really helpful. It is rumoured that Cameron will claim Osborne always had his fags make his tea at school and he had servants at University who never allowed him to make his own tea.
Nick Clegg has warned that the Coalition could fall apart over the Tea issue. 'We shall be the laughing stock of our Tea Party friends in America if this proposal over tea goes through' he warned.

Trade Adjustment Assistance
The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program is a federal entitlement program that assists US workers who have lost or may lose their jobs as a result of foreign trade. This program seeks to provide adversely affected workers with opportunities to obtain the skills, credentials, resources, and support necessary to become reemployed.
The first step to receiving TAA benefits and services is to file a petition online or by mail with the United States Department of Labor (USDOL). Upon receiving a petition, USDOL initiates an investigation to determine whether the circumstances of the layoff meet the group eligibility criteria established by the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Program eligibility
A petition identifies a worker group at a specific firm or subdivision and covers all individuals in that group. Generally, if a worker is laid off, a petition must be submitted within one year of the layoff for that worker to be covered by the petition and the certification if USDOL grants the petition.
A group of workers may be eligible for TAA if their jobs are lost or threatened due to trade related circumstances as determined by the USDOL investigation. These circumstances may include:
- increased imports.
- a shift in operations to certain countries.
- supply or downstream production to certain companies with TAA-certified workers.
After the investigation, USDOL determines group eligibility to apply for TAA benefits and services. Workers in a certified group will be notified by the state, at which time they may apply for individual eligibility for benefits and services.
Who can file a petition?
- Groups of three or more workers in the same firm or subdivision
- Company officials
- Unions
- State workforce officials
- One-Stop Career Centers
- Other state agencies and providers such as Rapid Response and Unemployment Insurance
Where do I get a petition form?

Search for Trade Adjustment Assistance cases
Search USDOL's Trade Act database for cases by petition number, company name, date range, city, and/or state.
Benefits and services
If a worker is a member of a worker group certified by USDOL, that worker may be eligible to receive the following benefits and services:
- Training: Classroom training, on the-job training, customized training designed to meet the needs of a specific employer or group of employers, apprenticeship programs, and more.
- Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA): Income support available in the form of weekly cash payments to workers who are enrolled in a full-time training course and have exhausted their unemployment insurance.
- Job search allowance: Reimbursement for costs of seeking employment outside of the worker's commuting area.
- Relocation allowance: Reimbursement for relocation costs for employment outside of the worker's commuting area.
- Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) and Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA): A wage subsidy for up to two years that is available to reemployed older workers and covers a portion of the difference between a worker's new wage and their old wage (up to a specified maximum amount).
- Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC): A tax credit to help pay the costs of health insurance.

Innovation Awards 2020
Finalists Announced
EDGE 2020 Goes Virtual

Sydney, Australia – 5 May, 2004 — Microsoft Australia today introduced two new business initiatives for its partners who sell Microsoft Business Solutions – the Microsoft Business Solutions Competency and Solution Provider Agreement (SPA).

Microsoft Competencies are the criteria of skills that partners achieve which demonstrate expertise in a specific solution area. Competencies align an industry partner's business with Microsoft technologies, marketing and demand generation, as well as delivery of resources and technical readiness. On July 1, 2004, partners that sell Microsoft Business Solutions will have 12-months to meet the requirements of the Microsoft Business Solutions competency. The Microsoft Business Solutions Competency will become the ninth competency as part of the new global Microsoft Partner Program (MSPP) framework.

"Partners that specialise in Microsoft Business Solutions technologies and services have unique qualifications and are vital to meeting customer needs for these solutions," said Kerstin Baxter, director of the partner group at Microsoft Australia. "To meet growing customer demand, it is important for us to preserve the unique expertise of a Microsoft Business Solutions-authorised reseller community. Partners that specialise in this area can now map their skill set to the program framework and capture new opportunities to meet customer's needs."

The new Microsoft Business Solutions Competency will provide companies with the opportunity to distinguish their business based on expertise providing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions.

Depending on a partner's level of investment and needs, benefits of the new services offering may include technical support provided to partners by engineers; the inclusion of Microsoft Business Solutions training tutorials in all service plans; and a Consultant Resource Centre that provides partners with a set of tools, templates, methodologies and best practices to assist in the selling and implementation of Microsoft Business Solutions products and services. Partners that make additional investments with Microsoft will receive dedicated engineer support.

A key change for Microsoft Business Solutions partners includes a new model in which program engagement, services and benefits are separated from reseller terms and conditions. The new Microsoft Business Solutions SPA will provide more uniform worldwide terms and conditions outside the MSPP competency. Partners have the choice of operating under their current reseller agreement until July 2005 or signing and operating under the SPA when it becomes available in July 2004.

Components of the SPA include distribution rights for Microsoft Business Solutions ERP software and services for those not offered in volume licensing or exclusively through distributors. The SPA will also include uniform terms and conditions for conducting business with customers regardless of their location, sustained competitive revenue opportunities, and authorisation criteria to establish a foundation for delivering maximum customer satisfaction.

About the Microsoft Partner Program
The goal of the Microsoft Partner Program, announced at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in October 2003, is to better align with each partner's business focus, recognise the complete impact of partners' relationships with customers, aligned with their unique business model, and provide partners with increased value for the investments they have made in Microsoft. Through the Partner Points and Microsoft Solution Competencies, partners can realise a deeper relationship with Microsoft that will empower them to highlight their expertise with customers and thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

That's what Sartre said. But he didn't mean it. I mean, he didn't mean what people think he meant. I think.
It's not that other people cause you to be miserable. If that were true, then we'd never fall in love. We'd never miss someone. We'd never feel that buzz in our fingers before we take another person by the hand.
We'd never stare at someone else, watch as they bit their lip and smile, and wonder what they're thinking.
We'd never ask and wonder if they were telling the truth.
We'd never lose sleep over that question.
We'd never want to give so much to another person, and we'd never learn so much about ourselves in the process.
We'd never hate ourselves so much for the things we learn.
We'd never cry when such a masochistic string ended, and we'd never.
Want to relive it.

The 65amps Producer 6L tube amplifier head is based around a unique transformer that's designed to make modern tubes sound just as good as older tubes, if not better. Instead of copying classic circuit designs, which can be downright dangerous, 65amps worked with Mercury Magnetics to create a new transformer for the Producer 6L that gives your tubes a longer, more reliable lifespan. The tone is amazing too, from sweet cleans to rockin' distortion. And thanks to its proprietary Master Voltage circuit, you can play the 65amps Producer 6L tube amp head as loud or as quiet as you like without sacrificing tone.65amps Producer 6L 28-watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance
- Custom transformer enhances your tubes' performance
- Bump control gives you two distinct voices for each channel
- Master Voltage control lets you cut volume, without killing tone
65amps created a custom transformer for the Producer 6L tube amp, with the goal of making modern tubes sound more like "vintage" tubes. A nice benefit of this is that the tubes run more reliably and don't need to be replaced as often as other amps require. So the Producer 6L gives you the sound of a classic '60s amp, with modern reliability and performance.Bump control gives you two distinct voices for each channel
The Producer 6L is a two-channel amp, with a Bump control on each channel that gives you more voicing options. Here's how 65amps describes this feature: "The Bump allows the user gain-up and re-slope the amp's tone stack, allowing much more midrange to flow through the circuit; thereby gaining up the entire amp naturally and not inducing false preamp gain that creates fizz and buzz." So it's kind of like kicking on an overdrive pedal, and kind of like a midrange boost. With two channels plus the Producer 6L's Bump switches, you've got access to four distinct voices at any time.Master Voltage control lets you cut volume, without killing tone
Thanks to the Producer 6L guitar amplifier head's Master Voltage control, you can get the output volume you need, without sacrificing the tone or feel of your amp. As opposed to many in-amp voltage-reduction systems, which simply starve the power tubes, the Producer 6L's Master Voltage control preserves the internal tube relationships while maintaining the proper filament voltage. This unique approach to voltage control lets you pull your output power all the way down to 3W, without either jeopardizing your sound or dynamics, providing you with ideal note-for-note articulation at whatever volume you need.65amps Producer 6L 28-watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Head Features
- All-tube guitar amplifier head with proprietary transformer
- Two-channel design, with Bump switch on each channel for four distinct voicings
- Custom transformer gives your tubes a longer life while creating rich tone
- Master Voltage control lets you reduce volume without sacrificing tone or feel
- Footswitch included
Classic tone with modern reliability - the 65amps Producer 6L!

Hey there! Long time no see! That's right: I am finally back from the dead (or to be more precise: the sleep-deprived study hermits). The last two months I had to focus on writing my graduate thesis and passing my final exams in order to finish law school, and..... now I have!
I know it has been a bit quiet over here for almost a month. I just couldn't really find the time to write something substantial enough for the blog. My deepest apologies :-(
"So, what have you been doing?", you might ask. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you might have noticed I spent the last week of August, and first few days of September touring the South of England. For those of you missing the usual travel posts: don't worry, I'll write about my shenanigans over there the coming week! Can't wait to share with you the great time I had over there (and I can't wait to go back again! Sort of already planning a short trip to London next December, but nothing's final yet)!

And another big update from me: I am SO VERY VERY HAPPY to say that I graduated a few weeks ago from Erasmus University Law School with a Bachelor's degree in Dutch Law! :-D
But what's next now that I finished studying? Well, I am not quite finished studying yet, since I enrolled in a postgraduate course Commercial and Company Law, which started this week. My first course is Research & Writing Skills, for which I have to write a thesis about EU customs and free trade, so it is going to be a very busy time, but I am very excited!
Hopefully I'll have my Master's degree Commercial and Company Law this time next year, so I'll have to start figuring out what I would like to do and where I would like to work once I am done, which means attending a lot of masterclasses, in-house days and recruitment events. Networking has never been my forte, so wish me luck!
But between all the studying and career stuff of course I will also make time to keep doing something else I really love, blogging! I have a lot of blog post ideas on the shelf already, ready to be written, so you will still have your regular dose of posts about fashion, travel, interiors, Kate and cats, with a quirky pinch of me :-P
So, in the spirit of study and careers, I'll leave you for now with a few inspirational quotes!
When it comes to blogging, it is easy to only write the things about yourself that you feel are the most appealing to others, and you'll often take several more photos, just to be sure that there is one that shows your very best angle. But often the most quirky habits and facts about someone define that person a lot more than their best angles. So, for the sake of you getting to know me better, here are 15 random facts about me.
T.G.I.F everyone!

February just started, which means that Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Although I am not a bit fan of those 'cheesy and easy' romantic comedies, I love a great love story as much as the next girl. So, to get in the mood for St. Valentine, below my top ten favourite romantic movies. You might notice I have a weak spot for tragic (and often historical) loves....
10. P.S. I Love You

(Alright so this one is a bit cheesy yes ;-) )
5. Pride and Prejudice

Summary: Based on the novel by Jane Austen by the same name, this is a classic tale of love and misunderstanding.

Have a very Kate Halloween!
Unfortunately, Halloween is not as big in the Netherlands as it is in the US :( In the last week of October there are some Halloween themed parties in clubs and at sororities, but we don't have the tradition where children go ' Trick-or-treat'-ing. But that doesn't have to stop me from writing about it of course :-P Wearing a costume is part of the Halloween tradition, and I do love fancy dress parties every once in a while. Apparantly, so does Kate, so it has the Royal Seal of Approval!
Now that William and Kate's university days are in the past, we won't see them dressed up anymore, but fortunately, there are several pictures of Kate in costume from that time.
But Kate is not the only royal who likes to dress up occasionally. Some other royals seem to be quite the professionals when it comes to fancy dress parties and other costumes occasions. Below are a few of my favourites:
Also, for this Halloween themed post, I thought I'd share the most ghoulish place I ever visited: the Sedlec Ossuary, in the Czech Republic, also known as the Church of Bones.
This ossuary is located just outside the town of Kutna Hora, not far from Prague. When the abbot of the monastery in Sedlec returned from the Holy Land in 1278 with a small amount of earth, he sprinkled it over the cemetery, after which the place became a popular burial site. Because of it an ossuary was build in the 1400s to make place for new burials. In 1870 a woodcarver, František Rint, was ordered to put the large bone heaps in the ossuary into order. The result was this rather macabre looking place. Now, the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people function as decorations in the shape of a large chandelier, a coat of arms, four bell-shaped mounts, and the signature or Mr. Rint. Would be a very suitable place for the Adams Family to live, wouldn't it?
And last but not least: Happy Halloween everyone!
Sinterklaas is one of the most important holidays in the Netherlands. We do celebrate Christmas, but the person of Santa Claus has (next to) no role in that. It is much more the traditional Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, with added presents under the Christmas tree and a turkey for dinner.
During the annual Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations, Saint Nicholas arrives by steamboat mid-November, accompanied by a large group of helpers called "Zwarte Piet", which translates to English as "Black Pete".
Since the last few decades, with the influx of immigrants to the Netherlands, Zwarte Piet is felt by some to be racist. Although it is a widely accepted theory that Zwarte Piet has a black face because he climbs down the dirty black chimneys, it is true that some part of the tradition finds its roots in the time in history when Holland still traded in African slaves.
As it is always just a small fraction of the Dutch population that finds the figure of Zwarte Piet offensive, the discussion whether or not Zwarte Piet might be racist always comes and goes with the steam boat of Sinterklaas and the Zwarte Pieten. However, since the beginning of this year, the United Nations started meddling, by initiating a research by the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent to determine if the holiday is indeed racist.
I must say that I am astonished as well. Because, based on my own point of view (and I am pretty sure I share this view with the vast majority of the Dutch people), having celebrated Sinterklaas every year since I was born, Zwarte Piet isn't even a 'black' person to me. Although he has a black-painted face, I never even thought of him being of negroid descent. Not as a child, not as an adult, not until someone said that Zwarte Piet might be racist and offensive to black people.
Well known Dutch comedian and actor Erik van Muiswinkel reprises his role as 'Head Pete'
The fact that Zwarte Piet's place in the Sinterklaas celebration originates from the time in history when Holland still traded in African slaves, does in no way mean that the persona of Zwarte Piet would ignite racist feelings among the Dutch population during the present day Sinterklaas festivities. On the contrary, to me Zwarte Piet actually has always been one of the most raceless figures imaginable. He is not black, he is not white, not yellow or red, just a positive force. Like a fun, caring and mischievous uncle, compared to Sinterklaas as a strict (although loving) grandpa. This is exactly why I just can't understand how, if you ever really experienced the Sinterklaas celebrations, you can be offended by Zwarte Piet. In fact, Zwarte Piet can be a very strong way to teach children from an early age that skin colour doesn't matter and that everyone is part of the same community. Sinterklaas is a celebration in which everyone can participate, and it is an ideal way to bring people from all kinds of different backgrounds closer together.
Luckily, I am clearly not the only one who feels this way, because two days ago someone started a 'Pete-ition' on Facebook, supporting the role Zwarte Piet plays in the Sinterklaas celebrations, and since then it has become the largest, and fastest growing Dutch-language Facebook page, with over two million likes in just two days. Just as a reference: the Netherlands has a population of 17 million. The counter Facebook page 'Black Pete is racism' has 11,000 likes.
I know this has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, but I felt so strongly about it that I just had to dedicate a blog post to the issue. The elimination or alteration of Sinterklaas is just not an option for the Dutch population, because it is such a huge part of our culture and our childhood. Imagine that someone from the United Nations told the United States (or Canada, or the UK for that matter) to eliminate Christmas because Santa's elves discriminate people with dwarfism. If you think that is a ridiculous prospect, or at least that this would be way out of proportion, then you know how I feel at this moment…

A speech that has the possibility to change your whole perspective on existence
This post is totally not related to Kate, fashion or anything like it, but just watched the video below for the first time and had to share it.
As a 25 year old college student with a part time job at a law firm, I am sometimes terrified by the prospect of the routine, stress and boredom that are to come in the next days, weeks, months and years as I participate in so-called 'adult life'. That is why I am so glad I came across this speech.
The speech was given by the late David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005 and it is about taking yourself out of the tempting narrow focus of your own existence and try and change your perpective about your world and the people around you. Normally I am quite skeptical about these things, but trust me: it's a good one!
Like the rest of the world I am captivated by the enigma that is Downton Abbey. And as a self confessed clothing addict and fashion lover, my appreciation for Susanna Buxton (Downton's costume designer) grows with each and every episode. The amount of work that goes into every dress worn by Lady Grantham and the young ladies is just unbelievable, there is just so much eye for detail.
Thanks to The Great Gatsby and Downton Abbey the 20s are hot and happening right now. And how can you not get inspired by the beautiful fashion of that period? But unfortunately it is not easy to dress in a 'Downton' way without looking like you are going to a fancy dress party. However, you can dress with the same flair as Lady Mary (without an enormous price tag) by incorporating certain Downton elements into your own outfits. Below you will find three outfits worn on Downton Abbey, two by Lady Mary and one by Lady Rose, and their modern day equivalents.
Outfit 1: Lady Mary walking in the gardens
One of my go-to outfits at the moment: a cream embroidered lace blouse, green trousers and nude heels.
1. Ivory lace blouse, Dorothy Perkins, $25.00
2. Cameo and faux-pearl earrings, Modcloth, $11.99
3. Green slim fit trousers, H&M, $24.95
4. Nude patent PU-leather Mary Jane pumps, Nine West at Bonton, $59.99
5. Dark green pleated midi skirt, ASOS, $35.60
6. Nude scalloped suede Mary Jane pumps, Loft, $89.50
7. Embroidered mesh top with lace inserts, Free People, $98.00
Outfit 2: Lady Rose running errands
The combination of an oversized coat and a long skirt make Lady Rose's costume very 1920s.
Change those for a cardigan and a pair of skinny jeans, and the outfit is very much 2013.
1. Long royal blue soft scarf with fringe, Karma Loop, $18
2. Crochet cloche hat, Like Freja on Etsy, $35.00
3. Gray skinny jeans, H&M, $19.95
4. Black patent leather Mary Jane pumps, Carvela at John Lewis, £59.00
5. Zig zag print cardigan, Chico's, $49.98
6. Gray woolen texting gloves, Lauren Ralph Lauren at 6pm.com, $24.99
Outfit 3: Lady Mary at the station
With this costume you can basically change Mary's long skirt for a pair of dark skinny jeans and have a great casual chic outfit in one of the colours of this winter: bordeaux.

What is MasterCard SecureCode? MasterCard SecureCode is a security feature, available for merchants operating in a card-not-present environment that enables cardholders to authenticate themselves to their MasterCard card issuer through the use of a preselected personal code. MasterCard SecureCode protects e-commerce merchants from "cardholder unauthorized" or "cardholder not recognized" chargebacks.
How does MasterCard SecureCode work? When a cardholder is ready to check out at a participating merchant, the MasterCard SecureCode service takes the consumer through the following steps to ensure that he or she is authorized to use the card:
- Once a consumer is taken to a participating merchant's check-out page, he or she is prompted to enter their MasterCard credit or debit account number.
- At this time a new window opens up and the card issuer requests the cardholder's preselected SecureCode. After the SecureCode is submitted, the issuer will authenticate the transaction and confirm that the cardholder is authorized to make the purchase.
- Once the cardholder's identity is authenticated, the online transaction can be completed.
Card activation. Before a MasterCard SecureCode can be used to authenticate a cardholder, the card needs to be activated. There are several ways to do that:
- MasterCard provides a step-by-step activation procedure on its website – MasterCard SecureCode activation.
- MasterCard card issuers provide online activation on their websites and cardholders can contact their customer service representatives for details.
- Merchants may also provide activation on their websites.
Benefits of using MasterCard SecureCode. Merchants?ábenefit from MasterCard SecureCode in multiple ways:
- Participated merchants are protected from "cardholder unauthorized" chargebacks for fully compliant transactions. By limiting their chargeback exposure, merchants reduce processing costs.
- Participation in MasterCard SecureCode shows that you are serious about transaction security and promotes consumer confidence, which makes it more likely that customers will make a purchase on your website.
- Participating merchants can expand their geographic reach by selling to customers in countries where online debit cards are used more widely than credit cards. In addition to added protection against chargebacks for these customers, you will be able to process their Maestro debit transactions.
- MasterCard offers participating merchants free advertising on its consumer website.
Visa's equivalent to MasterCard SecureCode is Verified by Visa.

The transition from high school to college is thrilling, scary, and typically not what you expected. No more curfews, parental hovering or rigid school rules. You've entered a land where your class time per day is quartered and your workload is doubled, at least. There are all-day dining halls resplendent with buffets of food and you can go weeks without needing to speak to anyone. This newfound freedom can lead to profound unhappiness and a sense of displacement for many of the students we have worked with over the years. After the initial excitement of "Wow! College!" some students become quickly bogged down with the difficulties of an unstructured workload, free time in odd segments and the seeming difficulty of finding good friends like the ones you spent years developing at home. College can be a lonely time, especially that first year, when everyone around you seems to be having the time of their lives. If that description of college sounds a bit grim to you, do not despair. Many students travel through the swamp of loneliness freshman year and reach the balmy shores of happiness after a rocky period of readjustment.
However, if you know, deep down, that your current school is not for you, do not despair. We hear from students like you on a weekly basis who wish they loved their college, but the image they had does not match the reality they are living. Many feel as if they didn't get into the college of their choice initially and have admitted that their attitude has held them back from embracing their new life.
Here's the thing . . . one in three students is an enormous statistic, but despite such a large number of transfer students, there are virtually no structures built into the college system that help facilitate these shifts. We hear from students who feel lost as they begin the transfer process, much more so than when they applied to college. There are plenty of resources when you are an eager high school junior beginning to visit schools, taking APs and Subject Tests and of course negotiating the ACT or SAT. But what do you do now that you are beginning the process again?
During the transfer application process, you may feel like you are the only person you know who is transferring. You will not have the enforced deadlines from your high school counselor, your parents may only be tangentially involved (or just unsympathetic to your plight), and it is likely that you will have a hard time complaining to your friends, since they are not going through the process with you. It is possible that you want to keep this transfer application a secret from your friends and even your parents. No matter the reasons, the transfer process is a worthy undertaking—one that will change your life and take you one step closer to achieving your goals. If, that is, you have the power of knowledge. If you manage this process in an organized way and follow our advice, you will be on your way to a fulfilling college experience.
In our many years working with students, we've set out to make a nontransparent process, college admissions, more clear. Transfer admissions is even more confusing, on the surface, than applying as a freshman. That confusion and the many myths about the transfer process cause students and their parents enormous stress. We are here to help you take a breath, gain important knowledge, and create a plan!
