Heightened customer expectations, demographic shifts and increasing usage of new technologies are creating new opportunities. Of late, I have been researching on the role of Social Media in new product development. It seems some industries (Retail) are leading in this area whereas others (Insurance) are still warming up to the idea. Insurers can exploit the opportunities by leveraging Social Media, not only to reach out to the customer (Participation mode), but also completing the feedback loop to improve or create insurance products (Integration mode).
Creation of an insurance product generally follows the below process.
Product Development in insurance can take 3 forms:
- Re-pricing or Refinement
- Add-on Features
- New Product
Although Social Media is already playing the role in maintaining the brand image and marketing of insurance products, it can also play a huge role in Idea Generation, Evaluation and Prototyping phases for all 3 aforementioned forms of Product Development.
Social Media is already becoming an important channel for 'voice of customer'. A great product can take off easily whereas the news about the bad one spread much faster. Insurers can leverage Social Media to listen to customers. Using advanced analytics and techniques like Natural Language Processing for Sentiment Analysis, insurers can do trend analysis and demand assessment. Insurers can get insights about the lifestyle, buying behavior, social behavior etc. about users, which can help in further refining the segmentation. Product Managers can also directly interact with the target customers and prospects and can do dip stick analysis and competitive assessments.
Whether Insurer's marketing strategy is being a 'Leader' or a 'Fast Follower', social media has something for both the strategies to aid in Product Development. The role of Social Media in understanding customer better and thereby developing customized products cannot be neglected for long.

Anti-social behaviour focus of community engagement eventPublished Friday, 12th January 2018
The clip-clop of horse hooves could be heard around the streets of a Rotherham village this week as three special guests joined officers on patrol.
Police horses Stocksbridge, Cubley and Bawtry teamed up with Rotherham Central neighbourhood officers on Tuesday (9 January) as part of a community engagement event to clamp down on anti-social behaviour.
Officers, along with staff from Rotherham Council's anti-social behavioural team, were in Eastwood village to speak to residents and gather feedback and evidence in relation to reports of anti-social behaviour.
Rotherham Inspector Jenny Lax said: "Our team identified insecure empty properties and contacted landlords, handed out surveys about quality of life and took statements from people living close to properties that have been reported to police.
"No-one should have to put up anti-social behaviour, whether they are being kept up all night by noisy neighbours or fed up of litter piling up on their street.
"There are measures we can take and today's activity was all about following up on information given to us by the public.
"We will not tolerate the lives of innocent people being blighted by those choosing to act in a selfish, anti-social and often criminal way." Stocksbridge, Cubley and Bawtry along with their handlers PC Tracey Brown, PC Julie Bradshaw and PC Michelle Goodson, patrolled the streets as officers chatted to residents and listened to feedback about local policing.
"We want members of the community to know that we are listening and there are things we can do to tackle anti-social behaviour," added Inspector Lax.
"For example, we can serve closure notices on problem properties, we can issue criminal behaviour orders to repeat offenders and we can also hand out community protection notices.
"To be able to take action we need to gather evidence which is why we have been taking statements and asking people to fill in surveys. "We want the community to know we are in their neighbourhood and that their voice matters."
The work forms part of the Eastwood Deal – an on-going multi-agency project that aims to engage with communities, reduce crime and provide a visible presence in the area.
Partners meet every Thursday to share intelligence, plan actions and review the work already undertaken in the area.
Cllr Emma Hoddinott, Rotherham Councils Cabinet Member for Waste, Roads and Community Safety, said: "It's great to see officers out and engaging with residents and trying to proactively tackle issues.
"This works forms part of a larger plan for this particular area and we are keen to work alongside residents in Eastwood to improve the area." There is a drop in session at 2pm every Wednesday at Eastwood Clifton Learning Partnership when you can speak to officers about issues or ask for advice.

So this is what I came up with. I'm going to stick with the questions that actually stay posted so I can link to them. There was a whole line about "all-knowledge" that beat this one just because they were so rambling. But they didn't stay up.
Essentually what he is doing is complaining that we are asking them to do something that even God himself can't do….provide evidence.
That's the point moron. Things that don't exist can't provide evidence.
Christians have an unending list of excuses why there isn't evidence. But the never have any actual evidence. To say the least, this tactic is less than convincing to anyone who thinks about it for 30 seconds.

Property and revenue management solutions are abundant in today's
technology-centric business
environment, and many address
the needs of multiple industries.
However, airports, with their
complex business processes and
requirements, benefit from a
specialized solution.
Airport-specific property and
revenue management technology
provides a multitude of benefits for
a number of airport departments,
including proactive contract
management, comprehensive
configuration capabilities, enhanced
accountability, and increased
accuracy of data and billing.
Valerie Hunter, assistant division
manager at Los Angeles World
Airports (LAWA), began working
with a property and revenue
management system in 2001. "All
of our revenue divisions use the
system; everything we invoice
goes into it, such as airport
commercial development, which
includes properties, concessions,
and residential acquisition,"
she explained.
Airport police use the system forTSA agreements, and operationspersonnel use it for landingagreements. "We have financegroups that use it mainly forreporting purposes, and we use itfor invoicing," Hunter said. "Mysection is responsible for managingthe software, so we do systemadministration and set-up, maintainthe roles and security, develop thebilling rules, and are the keepers ofthe aviation statistics data. We enterthe data and we report it worldwide,so we not only report the data to ourexecutive management but to thevarious news and press outlets aswell. It also goes to the mayor's andgovernor's offices."LAWA tracks and processes $1billion in monthly revenue in itsproperty and revenue managementsystem. That effort encompasses
3,696 contracts, including
agreements for all airports in the
LAWA system.
According to Hunter, the
system works well for what the
organization's management requires.
"Aviation is a different animal than
most industries. The terminology,
the way we do our rates and charges;
it's been critical to have an aviation-specific solution," she said.
"There are many benefits to having
all of this data in a consolidated
location," Hunter said. "With the
system, we are able to bring all of
the information together and house
it in a single database; this allows
us to create reports that represent
a single version of the truth. Prior
to this technology, we had a very
challenging time with our accounts
receivables. Implementing the

It wasn't hard to guess where the Florida Chamber of Commerce landed on the issue of employee contributions to state pensions.
Just read the headline on a statement released when a Tallahassee judge ruled the state law was unconstitutional: "Florida Chamber Statement RE: Activist Judge's Retirement Plan Ruling."
Tuesday's decision by Leon Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford is expected to end up in the Florida Supreme Court.

I am VERY pleased to OFFICIALLY announce that we've invited a blogger to co-write Style Fuse Diaries. If you follow the shop on Twitter or Facebook, then you've probably heard rumors and rumors of rumors about a new blogger.
Style Fuse Diaries is not intended to be a 'store-only' blog. Enter the idea of a co-blogger. The purpose is to help provide our readers with a diverse experience.
Last month we put out a call and received many applications. The competition was stiff, but Lexi, blogger for Glitter and Pearls, shined through. This past week, I interviewed her to help us learn all about her!
Lets welcome Lexi!
♥ Lucky Rabbit
Chelsea: Hi, Lexi- About a month ago, you shared your adorable blog with me. It has a great following. I love what you have done! What inspired you to start writing?
Lexi: I was always a writer, graduated with an English degree, and realized getting a job in Jane Austen studies was going to be tough … so, I went to law school. As law school wore on, I missed writing. My blog came from that need to express myself and to get back into writing. Glitter & Pearls became my baby – seriously, I tear up just talking about her (okay, maybe it's not that bad.)
Chelsea: How long have you written Glitter and Pearls?
Lexi: Glitter & Pearls is a year and a half old. I tried with a much more novice blog during law school, but I hardly had time to feed myself, let alone write inspiring content, and so I retired blog numero uno. With a law career came G&P, and a whole lot of fashion babble!
Chelsea: What do you blog about there and how do you describe your blogging style?
Lexi: My blog goal is to post everything and anything I fall in love with, from gorgeous clothes to impractical shoes, home decor, in the kitchen, DIY and crafts, weddings, even the big scary future. My style is 2 parts tacky, 2 parts couture (gotta keep those even), and a whole lot of budget-friendly determination … what does that add up to? Note: math was never my strong point.
Chelsea: I'm so excited to invite you as apart of our team! What unique quality do you plan on offering to Style Fuse Diaries?
Lexi: I really try to connect with my readers and keep it real. I envy the fashion bloggers who look drop dead gorgeous in haute couture, but I also wear jeans … and flip-flops (gasp!) I'm a big fan of mixing it up – I'd love to walk around with light-up neon signs: $3 tights on clearance at Target, polka-dotted triangle bra from Dollar Tree, $295 Balenciaga sunglasses (on sale), Madewell dress on super clearance, Old Navy sweatshirt – victim of my scissors and gussied up with vintage fabric pockets, Joie Travelin Band Booties.
Fun Fact: Lexi Was Recently Married!
Chelsea: What are 5 things that describe you?
Lexi: books, tights, big dark sunglasses, music, and glitter
Chelsea: Current Fave Blog Reads?
Lexi: This is the toughest question, but if I had to narrow it down to a handful:
Honestly WTF
The Man Repeller
Rock Star Diaries
My Cup of Te
Court + Hudson
Better Off Wed
Steffy's Pros + Cons
Le Blog De Betty
Free People Blog
SF Girl By Bay
California Closet
Mama's A Rolling Stone
The Possessionista
Chelsea: When you are not blogging, what can we find you doing?
Lexi: Lately it feels like all I'm ever doing is blogging, but in my precious spare seconds I speed online shop, watch trashy television that high-brow friends make fun of me for, and I cook (and burn myself).
Chelsea: Some will say that there are 6 degrees of separation from everyone on Earth. Are you 6 or less degrees from anyone famous?
Lexi: Yes! David Duchovny, of X-files and Californication fame, and Adam Duritz, lead singer of the Counting Crows, are both somehow distantly related. Naturally, the two Jews are my peeps. Also, the whole Adam Duritz thing poses a bit of a problem. I love him, and not in a third cousin removed kind of way. Those dreadlocks get me every time. (Love you, hubby!)
Chelsea: What is an interesting fact about you?
Lexi: I had cancer this year. There, I said it (first time on the internet). Somehow I managed to get myself the "best kind of cancer possible", whatever that means, and I'm feeling great! Also, I rocked Juicy Couture tube socks in my surgery – always keep your bling on!
Chelsea: What do you think about buying vintage and fashion (current and past)?
Lexi: I am a huge proponent of vintage fashion. When it comes to vintage, my love is at a close tie between the amazing finds/deals and the sheer history of it all. See, it all comes back around = literature nerd.
Chelsea: Are you a thrifter? If so, what was your best score?
Lexi: Best score ever: vintage white framed Gucci sunglasses with the green and red stripe and gold Gucci symbol on the arms. I imagined myself a quirky wannabe tennis player … like Luke Wilson's character in The Royal Tenenbaums, but in girl form. Also, I lost them in the ocean. Devastated.
Chelsea: Thank you for sharing all about yourself and your blog, Glitter and Pearls. Is there anything else that you'd like to ad?
Lexi: I am so looking forward to writing with Chelsea and interacting with all of you lovely readers!
Chelsea: Lastly before, you go, what can we look forward to in your first few posts?
Lexi: For starters, I'll be talking about how to transition your favorite Summer pieces into Fall, and then because we all miss peanut butter sandwiches and nap time, a peak at this season's most adorable back-to-school backpacks and how to wear them grown-up style!
Chelesa: I love it! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the Style Fuse Diaries. We look forward to reading what you have to say, Lexi!

How did you spend your Sunday?


text: Wow! She is a really good singer! And Swedish is a very pretty language. Even in normal speech it sounds lyrical so it sounds even more musical here. It has a lovely flow to it. She changes some of the lines to better fit the rhythm, like she changes "Hello from the other side" to "Kan du inte svara mig?" which means "Can't you answer me?" and I think that actually adds an interesting element to the song.


text: USA Network presents the original comedy series, DONNY!, starring Donny Deutsch. The half-hour project takes a satirical look at wealth, the media, and modern romance through the eyes of Deutsch's fictionalized character, based on the real-life famed ad-man, single dad, and TV personality. From Executive Producers Banks Tarver and Ken Druckerman of Left/Right, Angie Day ("Odd Mom Out") and Deutsch, DONNY! is set to premiere Tuesday, November 10 at 10:30pm ET/PT.

Loren Vincent Adams
|Loren Vincent Adams was born November 21, 1930, in Glenville, the son of John and Helen Reaser Adams. Loren attended Glenville Grade School, Central Junior High and Roosevelt-Wilson High School. In his teens he was a carrier for the Clarksburg Publishing Company.
Loren was a member of the National Guard, Clarksburg unit, from November 1947 to August 1949. He was discharged to join the army, enlisting on August 16, 1949.
While in the military, Loren wrote several letters home. In one, he wrote:
Since we came back from operation ports I've been hopping. I was made batillon carpender so that should explain it all by just saying that, HA! I stood Presidentail Parade to day and saw old Harry S real close. I expected him to be big and huskey but he is 5'8" and a little on the plump side with a good Florida sun tan.
Loren went overseas on July 26, 1950, with the 32nd Infantry Division, Company D. On December 2, 1950, Loren went missing while in the Chosin Reservoir area. Hoping that Loren was still alive and a POW, his uncle Cecil Reaser wrote him in January 1952, "You know we think you may get our lettters even though we haven't heard from you for over a year," and told him to "keep your chin up." Finally, Loren's parents received notification in January of 1954 that their son had been declared dead on December 31, 1953.
West Virginia Archives and History welcomes any additional information that can be provided about these veterans, including photographs, family names, letters and other relevant personal history.

Over-Night Locations
St. Joseph is becoming a hot spot for destination weddings and as the Shadowland Ballroom's clientel grows to reach new corners of the country, we would like to help those guests traveling by steering them to the best accommodations offered in town.

Samantha ♥ Scott 12.31.13
When originally deciding on a wedding date, Samantha and Scott never intended for a winter wedding. However, after being given an amazing opportunity to serve in an orphanage and school in Malawi beginning in Spring 2014, the couple moved their wedding date from May 31, 2014 to December 31, 2013. This date change did not dissuade from any other wedding plans though, rather it increased the overall image the two shared for their special day.
The couple were married amid the beautiful stained glass windows of the same church that the bride's parents were married. The church's Christmas decorations added a festive touch for the perfect setting. Samantha wore a beaded lace gown with a chapel train and veil headpiece. Scott looked dapper in a black tux paired with white shirt, tie, and vest. The couple's love for one another and for God was apparent as friends of the couple played key roles during the service's worship through singing and special speeches. Read More
Who to Ask: Bridesmaids
There are a lot of imporant questions circling your mind now that you've said "Yes!"
What venue should my ceremony and/or reception be held?
Which caterer should I go with?
Which DJ will be most interactive?
Well, to assist you in your endeavors, we have found a great system to help you with another important decision: who should I ask to be my bridesmaids?
The most obvious question is how many attendants to ask and who should be your maid/matron of honor. A new trend in the wedding scene is an increase in bridal party members. While it is important that you include those people to whom you feel closest, the etiquette is to limit the party to 12. Also consider how many people can fit on either side of you while you're standing at the altar. Ideally, the same number of attendants on both sides looks best, but there is no rule that says they have to match. Read More
Silver Beach, A History
Below the bluffs of downtown St. Joseph, Michigan, hugging both the Lake Michigan shoreline and the St. Joseph River lays an area where carnival music was once heard, merry-go-round carousel horses galloped in place, a rollercoaster roared, and Charleston dancers strutted their stuff.
The St. Joseph area was a hotspot for boaters. Canoes, rowboats, and riverboats provided scenic tours from St. Joseph to Berrien Springs. Logan Drake, owner of a boat livery on the St. Joseph River saw a higher calling of tourism in the area and began looking at ways to draw more people to the less-popular beaches of St. Joseph.

Feature Your Engagement or Wedding!
As every couple is special and unique, we at Shadowland feel you deserve your time to shine even after your Big Day has come and gone. With that being said, we would love to feature your Shadowland wedding or Southwest Michigan beach engagement in our Real Weddings section!
If you would like your story or picture(s) to be considered for publication, you (or your photographer) can send color or B&W images to Ashley at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Featured weddings generally have occurred in the Shadowland Ballroom within the past year. This may include Silver Beach Carousel, Whirlpool Fountain, and Silver Beach Park photographs as well. Engagement sessions are asked to have been taken in Southwest Michigan. Ideally the engagement photographs include a few beach shots (whether they be on Silver, Tiscornia, Weko, or any other SWMI beach), but other local locations (Downtown St. Joseph, Benton Harbor's Art District, various vineyards, etc.) are welcomed! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Ashley. Read More
Morning Weddings
I woke up this morning to sunshine and birds chirping, and thought to myself: how beautiful would a morning like this be for a wedding? The idea of hosting a breakfast or brunch wedding is becoming more popular. The morning wedding isn't a new invention, though, but was actually pretty normal a few decades ago. I don't know if it's the retro-craze trending these last few years, or the vintage feel morning weddings seem to hold, but here are a few reasons to consider having your wedding at sunrise!
The Positives
- Usually morning weddings end before or by 3'o'clock in the afternoon, so the possibilities of what to do after the Big Event are virtually endless! Drive away from your reception and enjoy the rest of the day in the company of your new spouse. I mean, you just got married because you love spending time together, right? Morning weddings give you lots of time to hang out together, married, on your wedding day. (Plus you'll wake up sober and with no hangovers!) Or you can get a jumpstart on your honeymoon and arrive at your destination before your wedding day is even over!
- Who doesn't love breakfast/brunch food? Or an excuse to drink champagne and mimosas? Unlike an evening ceremony which usually calls for dinner or heavy appetizers, a morning wedding leans toward light fare. Most people simply aren't that hungry early in the day. Plan a delicious menu that will wow your guests, whether you want a buffet or a formal sit-down meal. Think craft-your-own-waffle, an omelet station, or pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream, hickory smoked bacon and fresh squeezed juice as simple, yet elegant menu choices.
- Your vendors will love you, because it is so rare for them to be able to work and have a weekend evening off. Sometimes vendors will even provide discounts for non-traditional timed weddings, so there's a BIG positive!
- That hard-to-achieve-but-beyond-beautiful venue location might be available at an earlier time during the day. Many area open to the public (such as botanical gardens, beaches, and parks) are only available in the mornings to allow for the public.
The Negatives
- You have to wake up early. Like, really early. On your wedding day. Also, your pre-wedding morning will be rushed, there is no way around that. So extra planning for your prep work will be in order.
- Consider your guests, especially those who live two hours away. They'll have to get up very early to make it to your wedding. In the long run, I'm sure they'll have a blast, but they might be questioning your sanity as they're traveling in the wee hours of the morning before the sun even rises.
In other thoughts…
I've heard it voiced that morning weddings don't allow for as much fun as a later wedding, but there is no reason why a morning wedding should prevent that! For those still wishing for a dance ceremony, by the time a ten o'clock ceremony and eleven o'clock brunch is wrapped up, it will be after noon, perfectly acceptable for a DJ and dancing. For those wishing to provide drinks for their guests, a mimosa bar, champagne, Bloody Mary's, and other morning concoctions (think fruit juice mixes) are more than acceptable for breakfast soirées. In addition, come up with some fun and engaging activities such as croquet, badminton, or other lawn games. Read More

Rose Gold
Rose gold is in, and I am in love. Boutique jewelry designers have confirmed that rose gold has been resurrected and is one of the most popular requests for engagement rings and wedding bands. Blake Lively set the trend when she tied the knot with Ryan Reynolds. The media went wild over her reportedly $2 million sparkler. The custom made engagement ring is a 12 carat oval cut diamond set in rose gold.
With the soft blush color of the metal, it is no wonder this color is quickly gaining speed in popularity. It's appealing on many different skintones. It has a lovely the vintage appeal. Plus there's the fact that it's a little more exclusive. However, if you decide to go with the metal of the moment, consider selecting a more traditional setting for your engagement ring or wedding band to ensure your bling stays timeless. Read More

|EVREUX: (Eure département, Normandie)
49.02 01.15. This commune in NW France and the capital of Eure département has a population of 51,000. An industrial town on the Iton River where metals, textiles, rubber, radio and television parts, and pharmaceuticals are manufactured, the inhabitants are called Ébroicien(ne) (sing.), Ébroicien(ne)s (pl.) In the fourth century CE, the town was named Mediolanum Aulercorum, "the central town of the Aulerci", the Gallic tribe that then inhabited the area. Mediolanum was a small regional center of Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis. The first known counts of Évreux descended from an illegitimate son of Richard I, duke of Normandy; the comtes d'Évreux became extinct in the male line with the death of Count William in 1118. The modern city name originates from the Gallic tribe of Eburovices (literally Those who overcome by the yew?). Supposedly, a ghost named "Gobelin" haunted Évreux in the twelfth century giving us the modern English word "Goblin" (for which the French is "Gobelin"). Devastated many times during the course of its history, the town was extensively rebuilt following World War II. In the Middle Ages, Evreux was a center of Jewish learning. Administration: M. et Mme Henri CHETRIT, 3, boulevard Chambaudoin - 27000, VREUX. Tél 02-32-33-43-99. [January 2008]

This new edition with translation and commentary is a welcome addition to the growing field of editions and commentaries on Hippocratic treatises appearing in the last half of the twentieth century. While the two series of editions being published by the Collection des Universités de France (Budé) and in the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum (Teubner) have done a great deal to improve matters regarding the state of Hippocratic texts and attendant commentaries, much remains to be done.1 Craik has accomplished the noteworthy task of providing scholars with not one, but two detailed editions of Hippocratic works in 1998: the text, translation and commentary of the very short treatise On Anatomy appearing in Classical Quarterly 48 (1998) 135-67 and the Oxford edition of Places in Man under discussion here. Craik's work on Places in Man makes good use of important work done on the treatise in recent years and in centuries past, while providing a firm foundation upon which to open new lines of inquiry. The field of Greek medicine has been receiving attention from a growing audience of classical scholars with disparate interests in recent years, and it is to be hoped that this excellent commentary will generate still more activity. My comments here will only touch on a few of the many issues raised by the treatise and Craik's meticulous treatment of it.
C.'s work contains a general introduction, text with facing translation, extensive commentary, two appendices, an index of texts and authors cited and a general index. The introduction presents a brief survey of the evolution and nature of early Greek medicine, with special emphasis on the range of locations in which practitioners of rationalist medicine began to develop and reflect upon their craft. It also provides an overview of Places in Man itself, paying attention not only to the medical content of the treatise, but also to its prose style and vocabulary (issues revisited in greater detail in the commentary). In so doing, C. attempts to locate the provenience of the treatise, suggesting a West Greek origin as "probable" (33). C. also argues (although not at length) for a date in the first half of the fifth century -- indeed, she maintains that the treatise "may be the earliest work in the HC and the earliest surviving work of Greek prose" (33). Her belief that the text is still earlier than previous scholars have suggested (Joly in his edition [Paris 1978] proposed a date between 420 and 390 BCE) accords well with the trend of the last twenty years or so to push back the dates of Hippocratic treatises. C. gently laments that Places in Man has received less attention and respect from scholars of the twentieth century than it did from those of previous generations, and she sets out to rectify this situation.
The text presented by C. is based on that of Joly. It includes occasional reversals of Joly's edition (suggestions by Ermerins are well-represented: cf., e.g., 24.2, 42.1, 42.3, 47.2) and emendations proposed more recently by Athanassiou, Porter and here by C. herself. C.'s choices are usually supported by full argumentation in the commentary. Several of her emendations are quite attractive: in 1.2, she prints μέρεα instead of μέλεα for "parts" of the body, pointing to the author's use of this word in subsequent chapters. In 27.4, she prints ὅτι τῷ ὄντι ἡ λίην χολὴ τὸν πυρετὸν παρέχει in favor of Joly's preference for the reading of manuscript A, ὅτι οὐκ ἐχρῆν τὸν πυρετὸν παρέχειν; in so doing, she rejects the idea that the author is privileging theory over observation at this point and instead maintains that he is suggesting bile as an alternative cause for the fever. This accords well with the thrust of 27, which posits both bile and phlegm as causes of fever, even though phlegm is the predominant pathological agent in the treatise.
The commentary is, I think, C.'s greatest contribution. Joly's edition provides some commentary and analysis but is mainly focused on improving the text of Littré. C.'s commentary presents observations on a wide range of topics medical, cultural and stylistic. Each chapter of the treatise is given a general overview, with attention given not only to the theoretical and empirical aspects of medicine in early Greece but also to the author's prose style. Places in Man, as many have noted, is not as focused as some works of the Hippocratic Corpus: the material ranges widely, from theories of medicine and disease to discussions of anatomy, physiology and the pathology of specific diseases; it instructs its readers on appropriate treatments and finishes with a brief look at gynecology. It has many affinities with certain other Hippocratic treatises, notably On Ancient Medicine, The Art of Medicine, Breaths and Affections, which are noted throughout the commentary and given special attention in an appendix. These treatises are each directed at a particular theme, but even they admit material that we might consider non-germane or discuss topics in a way that makes their relevance less than immediately obvious. Hence, as C. argues in the commentary and demonstrates through numerous short analyses in the commentary, the lack of focus in Places in Man does not mean that the treatise lacks doctrinal coherence. Instead, this lack of focus may reveal to us the criteria which authors in the early days of Greek prose judged appropriate for putting together a coherent work, or it may reveal at least how they were struggling to formulate appropriate criteria.2 Similarly, the fact that Places in Man puts forth a rather confused or, at any rate, confusing aetiology of disease may not reflect the incompetence of the author but rather the formative stages of Hippocratic doctrine (so C. maintains). Thus, in contrast to most Hippocratic writers, the author relies on a largely monocausal scheme of disease causation, with phlegm as the dominant pathological agent and bile appearing as an occasional partner.3 The standard bipartite scheme of bile and phlegm as equally troubling factors is absent here, as is the concept of four pathological agents (most clearly expressed in Nature of Man). Phlegm is here connected with heat, as is bile, though in other (later?) treatises, it is a cold substance. C.'s analysis of this problematic substance is nuanced and thorough. Moreover, she has a provocative, but to my mind convincing, note at 1.3 in which she argues that the pathological nature of phlegm was recognized in Homer: she interprets the φλέγμα κακόν of Iliad 21.334-7, traditionally translated as a "terrible blaze," instead to be an early allusive reference to the notion of a rush of (deadly) phlegm in the body" (99). This arguments accounts for the rather odd use of τεύχεα in the Homeric passage, which C. believes refers to the vessels in the body rather than to the armor of the Trojans; the word is used in just such a way in Places in Man.4
The commentary makes ample references to literature outside the Hippocratic Corpus, noting parallels to poets, historians and philosophers. The author's interest in the roles of similars and opposites in medicine and physiology, his belief in the importance of balance (C.'s translation of the term καιρός and some of its compounds; see introduction to 44) as a medical and physical principle, his position on the value of change (a controversial issue in the HC) and his arguments about τέχνη and τύχη receive due attention from C.'s commentary. Likewise, C.'s discussion of the treatise's use of the term εἶδος will be of interest to students of ancient philosophy (see on 44.1). The commentary is also alert to traditional forms of medical thinking in Greek society and the ways in which these are reworked by sophisticated writers -- though it can be difficult to differentiate the traditional from the Hippocratic, given the paucity of direct evidence for the former.
The careful attention given to the prose style and organization of the treatise is especially useful, given C.'s bold if nonetheless subjunctive assertion on its date. In the general introduction, she analyzes the most significant idiosyncrasies of the author's style -- the use of ὥστε for ἅτε, the use of a plural verb when the subject is neuter plural and the use of jussive infinitives -- and of his vocabulary -- a preference for compound forms and the use of some Homeric words and Doric forms. She notes, too, the "epic tinge" (21) that colors the treatise, with its occasional use of hexametric expression and similes. In the overview to each chapter, she goes further, noting the particular strategies of expression within the chapter and any significant differences from the rest of the treatise. These analyses are often further augmented by discussions of individual sentences or vocabulary use. Thus, C.'s work will be helpful to those interested in pursuing larger questions about the development both of Greek prose writing in general and of the short prose treatise in particular.
C.'s redating of the treatise raises several issues involving not only the interpretation of the Places in Man itself but also the history of medical writing in the fifth century. Places in Man has received less attention from scholars in the twentieth century than from those in previous generations because many have perceived it as one of the less sophisticated treatises in the Corpus. C.'s date for the treatise suggests the treatise has gained this reputation not because its author is less astute than other Hippocratics but rather because he is an early pioneer in the field. As to the larger question of the development of medical writing in the fifth century, C.'s work exposes some of the problems raised by the limitations of our evidence. For example, C. occasionally makes mention of earlier and no longer extant source material that the author is reworking in his text (see, e.g., pp. 151, 172, 186; on p. 160, she speaks of "a common body of source material or stock of ideas," leaving open the question of whether these sources were transmitted in written or oral form). She is hardly alone and surely not incorrect in arguing for the existence of other sources available to the authors represented in the HC and not to us; evidence internal to the Corpus itself supports this theory, as do more indirect sources, such as Anonymous Londinensis, Galen and Erotian. Moreover, scholars have argued that even some of the treatises we have show evidence of being compiled over time, exhibiting different 'archaeological' levels (e.g., on the gynecological treatises, H. Grensemann, Knidische Medizin [Berlin and New York 1975]). Nonetheless, C.'s argument that Places in Man may be the earliest surviving piece of Greek prose (let alone the earliest surviving Hippocratic treatise) raises questions about how many written sources this treatise itself may have had to draw on. It also underscores the problem of our lack of knowledge about when and why medical treatises began to be written, their audience, their accessibility in antiquity, their quantity, etc. If C. is right about the date of Places in Man, the treatise deserves attention not only from those interested in Greek medicine, but also from those who are investigating issues of literacy and Greek prose writing in the Classical period of Greek history. C.'s thorough and thoughtful edition provides a firm foundation upon which to base such investigations.
1. Harvard's Loeb Classical Library should not go unmentioned either, in terms of providing new editions of texts in recent years, but this series does not, of course, provide detailed commentary. 2. As C. notes, the authenticity of the final chapter (47) has often been disputed, since it seems very much an afterthought to the theoretical sections that have gone before. However, as the citations from Erotian and Galen demonstrate, the text has good credentials for being included; moreover, the content of the chapter has been shaped to fit in well with the author's theories (as C. argues on p. 220). Furthermore, as C. reminds us, the treatise Glands has a similar structure, with gynecological material added at the end. Other treatises, too, seem to shift gears suddenly, if not always so dramatically as Places in Man. Consider, for example, sections 11-15 of Nature of Man, in which the author compiles various anatomical and medical issues whose relevance to the main thesis of the treatise he makes no attempt to demonstrate; introductory or transitional sentences are lacking and no summation is given: the treatise ends abruptly. 3. On the role of bile throughout the treatise, C.'s manner of expression in the introduction is a bit misleading: while stressing the ambiguity of the author's position, she argues that, in the author's view, bile arises from disease rather than disease from bile (p. 14). Certainly this seems to be the case in 10.1, but elsewhere in the treatise, as C. observes both in the introduction and in the commentary on this passage, the picture is more complicated. 4. It is also true that bile has a long history as a pathological agent in its own right, perhaps going back as far as Homer, if the χόλος of Achilles has any physiological basis.

This is a stream of written prose that has not been edited since it was first written a few days ago. This one loosely rhymes, but loosely doesn't either.
Tell a story explaining what I have done around the house and all that shit mother fucking done with the thing and the thing thing thing, walnut snap break, cotton, gyroid fencing, better waiting room furniture, tastefully buttoned shirts, carpet salesmen, dusty old books, the rolling stones, a broken record, a washerlady's purse, a broken hip, a smashed up railway station, a silent whistle, a short-born teaser, a jealous rich-mun (blud) and a broken side nose. Worst than that there's a shoved up handkerchief and some iron filings ingrained in the carpet, and nobody loves you no more, and the water begins to taste of lead and you start to feel it all go to your head and the procession of idiots flicker on the tv and you thank Christ-Almighty it's a democracy. And then somebody speaks to you and you hear nothing at all, and the curtains are drawn to keep out the world and wrapped inside in a duvet you writhe and you squirm, all instead of doing and acting out what is that you yearn, but you're lying in the duvet in front of yourself, the picture on the wall a glimmer of what you once dreamt. You would wish to be on stage in front of the crowd, singing your verses crafted to avow what is about life which you wish to infer to others who can understand, stand stupefied and reduced to murmur. You want others to understand, to connect with them, show them yourself and in turn make them think of who they are.
Do this, and tread lightly with your words.

Why aren't seat belts required on school buses?
Answer: Passengers on school buses are exempt from seat belt requirements. (MCL 257.710e)
School buses provide one of the safest forms of transportation because of their design and construction. School buses utilize compartmentalization in rows of heavily padded, high-back seats. During crashes, seat belts would negate compartmentalization. It is also feared that some students would receive internal injuries from seat belts through a process called submarining, the tendency for a body to slide downwards during impact.
Seat belts on school buses may also hamper rescue or evacuation efforts, as adults or older students may have to spend precious minutes unbuckling young or disoriented passengers. Unruly students could also use the heavy buckles as makeshift weapons, creating even more of a safety hazard. There is also the argument that seat belts would only protect passengers of school buses during unusual events such as roll-overs, but not other possible events such as fires or submersion.

Knitting is an amazing skill. Our society rests upon multiple layers of highly refined techonology, but the general availability of cheap clothing has dulled many people's appreciation for what really is a slow motion magic trick: taking several strands of plant or animal fiber, and then looping that strand upon itself to make articles of clothing that fit well and keep you warm.
Check this out:
Darning hand-knit socks! The clothes we buy are often discarded when they are damaged or even wear slightly. No point repairing something that was selected for being cheap in the first place. Hand knit clothes can be not only made to last, but in top shape for years (Highly contrasting darning color optional).
But even beyond that, the things knitters are capable of is stunning. Ravelry has thousands of patterns and posted projects, and the level of design and planning involved in making some of these patterns requires a high level of skill, plus serious attention to detail. That kind of skill makes for more than just pattern-following ability as well. Check this out:
Hand knit darning of a machine-made wool garment! Slightlyharmless (owner of this blog) was able to match the stitch pattern, replicate it to replace all the missing links, then thread it back into the garment. That's some serious 3d modeling to be able to pull off such an elegant patch.

Knitting is an amazing skill. Our society rests upon multiple layers of highly refined techonology, but the general availability of cheap clothing has dulled many people's appreciation for what really is a slow motion magic trick: taking several strands of plant or animal fiber, and then looping that strand upon itself to make articles of clothing that fit well and keep you warm.
Knee High Men's Ribbed SocksJanuary 12, 2010
Knee High Men's Ribbed Socks a pattern by slightlyharmless
These socks were knit for a Men's Size 12 recipient.
I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease (worsted weight): 1 skein for contrast toes, heels and cuffs; and a little less than 4 skeins for feet and legs.
I knit these on size 5 needles.
The gauge when laid flat is about 5.5 stitches per inch, but since some of the purls are hidden it looks like 4 stitches per inch – there are purls between the visible knits to account for.
These were Magic Loop, two a a time, toe-up; when you get to the heels, just work one at a time with the other sock on hold on the cable.
Using Contrast Color, CO 12 stitches using Judy's Magic Cast On (24 sts per sock, 48 sts total). If using ML, always repeat for 2nd sock, using a separate ball of yarn.
Knit the first round, and make sure to knit into the back of the stitch for the 2nd half of each sock (the CO leaves them twisted, so you must untwist it as you knit around).
Increase every other round using Kf&b into the leftmost and rightmost stitch on both sides of both socks, then knit the next round even.
Repeat these two rounds 5 more times, giving you a total of 48 stitches per sock. Then knit 1 more round increasing 2 stitches (i.e. into the first stitch of each needle but not the last as before) to give you a total of 50 stitches per sock.
Knit 1 more round in CC, then switch to MC and knit 2 more rounds before switching to ribbing on the instep.
When stretched, the K1, P1, K1 will create the look of a "column" of knit stitches offset by 2 purl stitches on either side. When relaxed, the single purl between 2 knits will tuck itself out of view, giving it the look of K2P2 ribbing. By starting and ending each repeat with a purl stitch, the pattern of 5 columns is centered over the instep with a single purl on either side.
At 50 stitches per sock, work 5 repeats of the ribbing on side A of both socks, then knit across the bottom of the socks on side B. Continue in this way until you are 2" short of the required foot length.
Make heels with Contrast Color using the Short-Row Heel method. I wrapped 8 stitches on each side of the heel, leaving 9 unwrapped stitches in the middle (8+9+8=25).
Begin wrapping stitches:
Row 1: K to last stitch, wrap 1 and turn work
Row 2: P to last stitch, wrap 1 and turn work.
Row 3: K to 1 st before wrap, wrap and turn.
Row 4: P to 1 st before wrap, wrap and turn.
Repeat Rows 3 & 4 until you have the required number of wrapped sts on each side, ending on the Right Side with yarn in back, having just finished wrapping the final stitch on a purl row, and turning.
Begin unwrapping stitches:
Row 1: K to first wrapped stitch, lift up the wrap and work it by knitting it together with the stitch it was wrapping. Then wrap the next stitch (which will now have two wraps) and turn.
Row 2: P to the first wrapped stitch, lift up the wrap and work it by purling it together with the stitch it was wrapping. Then wrap the next stitch (which will now have two wraps) and turn.
Row 3: K to the next wrapped stitch, lift up both wraps and work them by doing a K3tog with the stitch they were wrapping. Then wrap the next stitch (which will now have two wraps) and turn.
Row 4: P to the next wrapped stitch, lift up both wraps and work them by doing a P3tog with the stitch they were wrapping. Then wrap the next stitch (which will now have two wraps) and turn.
Repeat Rows 3 & 4 until you have unwrapped all but one stitch on either side, ending on the Right Side with yarn in back, having just finished working the 2nd to last wrap, wrapping the last stitch on a purl row, and turning.
(This will leave one unwrapped stitch on each side, one will be worked in the next step, the other should be worked in the following round as you come to it naturally, it will be worked on the RS in the round, rather than on the WR flat.)
Knit across, working the final wraps at the end of the needle. Then repeat the whole process on the 2nd sock, which has been waiting patiently on the cable.
With Main Color, resume the ribbing pattern for the front and back of each sock; at 50 sts per sock, you will be working 10 repeats per sock, beginning and ending each needle with a P1 in order to center the columns evenly. Work in this manner until you reach the beginning of the calf shaping.
Calf Shaping
The calf shaping takes place in the upper two thirds of the length of the leg (measuring roughly from just above the ankle to just below the knee).
To determine where your calf shaping should take place, measure the length of your recipient's leg as described and refer to the following diagram.
The length of the leg is divided into three roughly equal sections by the blue lines. Each of these sections is again subdivided into three equal sections, marking the sites of all increases and decreases to shape the calves. All incs and decs are to be done on the back (heel side) of the sock, the front (instep side) is to be worked in the established ribbing pattern. Thus, the first 3rd of the leg is worked according to established ribbing pattern.
(Referring to hand drawn diagram on far right): each "column" is represented by a thick black line (there are 5, centered across the back of the sock), the purl stitches have deliberately not been drawn, in order to give a clearer picture to the placement of the increases.
All increases occur in the middle 3rd of the leg, represented by downward pointing triangles.
The first pair occurs at the first subdivision, centered around the middle column. In order to do this, work 2 repeats as usual, increasing into the final purl stitch of the 2nd repeat with a Kf&b, then work 1 more repeat, again increasing into the final purl stitch with a Kf&b, then work 2 more repeats as usual. You will have increased two stitches into the back for a total of 52 sts per sock.
Continue in newly established pattern (there will be two spots where the columns are offset by 3 purl stitches instead of 2).
The second pair of increases occurs at the second subdivision. These will again be centered, but this time around the middle 3 "columns." Work these increases as before, with a Kf&b, into the first of the pair of purl stitches which offsets the "columns" between which the increase is positioned. You will have increased 2 more stitches, for a total of 54 sts per sock.
Continue working this newly established pattern until it is time to begin the first of 2 decrease rounds.
All decreases occur in the final 3rd of the leg, represented in the diagram by an upward pointing triangle.
The first pair occurs at the first subdivision.
This time, in order to mirror (across the "x-axis") the increases, you will reverse the order of decreases by first decreasing the outter portion, and then the inner portion.
Work decreases with a P2tog at the points diagrammed.
Refer to this closeup of the increase and decrease positions for further clarity.
Increase and decrease into the first of the two (and the first two of three) purl stitches which offset the "columns" of ribbing.
The remaining decreases will all ocurr at the 2nd subdivision of the upper portion, and there are two steps.
First, decrease back to the original 50 stitch ribbing pattern in the same manner as before, with a P2tog in the remaining inner positions centering the middle column. Then work 2 more rounds in pattern.
For the final round of decreases, work the following over both sides of both socks: P1, *K3, P2tog, repeat from * 3 time, K3, P1. You will have decreased down to 42 stitches, for a snug fit just under the knee. I do this rather than changing needle sizes, though you could just as easily go down a needle size instead of decreasing, but make sure that each "column" is now a K3, in order to make the cuff pull in more than the leg. For a larger calf, incorporate more increases and decreases, doing your best to evenly distribute and mirror them horizontally and vertically. Keep in mind that the ribbing is EXTREMELY stretchy.
With Contrast Color, continue in cuff ribbing for at least 2 inches. Then Bind Off VERY LOOSELY, exaggeratedly loosely, as the cuff will need to pass over the widest part of the calf. The ribbing should be much snugger than the Cast Off in order to keep the sock in position.
These socks were originally knit in Jan/Feb of 2009; the pattern was written out Jan 2010. If you should happen to find errors, or need clarification on any points, please leave your comments below. They are greatly appreciated.

Justus Drugstore
For Matty's Birthday we did a little bit of celebrating. I took him to this restaurant that i have been dieing to go to for a while now, and let me tell you it was everything i had hoped and more! It's called Justus Drugstore- the history is that the chef's family had owned a drugstore FOREVER in the same building and he decided to turn it into a restaurant and keep the name. I actually read about it in Bon Appetit so i knew i had to make a trip there sometime while we lived here. It is in Smithville, the most unassuming place, and they serve all local ingredients in their dishes and they are SO Creative with their menu. You can see their website HERE.
It is a smaller restaurant- you have to have reservations, and the kitchen is open so you can see everything- but it's not loud like some places where the kitchen is open.
I love places that A.give you your own water, and a plus if it's in a cute bottle as above and B. places that serve you little bites of things that you didn't order and had no idea were coming- example they gave us really great homemade bread as well as a little crostini bite with portwine sauce drizzled over chicken pate- yum, and then at the end we didn't order dessert because i had made the cake below and they still brought us a small scoop of sheep's milk ice cream, sage flavor. It was amazing!
Above is our blue cheese salad with praline wafer on top and apple gelee on the side of the lettuce. it was wonderful.
Then my vegetable risotto with yummy basil reduction sauce and below Matt's steak, asparagus on chive mashed potatoes.
And Yes i made the Giant Cupcake Cake! We had all the guys over last night and they devoured it. I forgot to take pictures when they were all over- but it's safe to say the cake is gone 🙂

A little early
It's the middle of November, but all the stores and theme parks have been celebrating Christmas for over two weeks now. Think of how Thanksgiving must feel. I decided to give Christmas a taste of its own medicine by jumping ahead to St. Patrick's Day. Actually, I drew this thing about ten years ago, but after painting the Frankenstein image, I wanted to try painting this one. It's all Photoshop.
Here is the original line drawing, for comparison.

Let me be clear straightaway, please.
I'm a straight talker and I tend to speak "as it is".
I'm not into sales talk and stuff like that, but ....
Making Online Courses Is One Of The Easiest And Most Profitable Things You Can Do.
As you probably know, I've made over a million dollars (that's my profit, not my income - some people cheat on this!) in less than 2 years from making online courses, working from home.
I even got extensively featured in the press, including in Fortune magazine (to my amazement and acute embarrassment!).
I taught over 43,000 students at Udemy "How I Make Over $1,000 Every Day" from offering very simple courses - it was one of their best selling courses (I stress SELLING, as many people on Udemy give courses away, which any fool can do!) ever on on that site.
The course sold for between $300 and $500 there, with regular discounts offered, but Udemy dropped their maximum allowed pricing (to as low as $20 for a while!), so the course has now been withdrawn by me.
(Selling courses at $20 and paying 75% sales commission is not good - for you or for me!)
I left there in mid 2016, and built Tetmo, this site.
I have spent much of the last year re-building this course completely from "scratch" and updating it to 2017 methods - and to allow for the fabulous growth of sites where you can publish your course (so without paying huge commissions!).
To be ultra clear - this course is 100% brand new.
I've also moved from suggesting "you teach", to you "becoming a coach", as I now know this sells courses about 4 times faster!
Let me be clear what this course actually is and isn't.
I'm not going to say you should teach a course on any specific subject.
I don't know what your knowledge is and there is no such thing as "the best course to teach".
So, you teach what you know - or teach what you can learn - it's remarkably easy to read up on a subject that interests you and then explain that to others - and make a large amount of money from offering that as a course online ...
You certainly don't need some "list of subscribers" to start selling courses (I didn't and neither did every one else who is successful at making money from selling online courses!).
I can't, sadly "review" your course - I probably know nothing about what you're teaching, so that's fair enough, I'm sure you'll agree - however, if you follow the course fully, you really will succeed.
Here's what you will get full instant access to - these are video lectures, professionally studio produced and voiced by the wonderful Kelly Rhodes (who does much of my voice work now, including my Amazon TV videos and my Audible.com books), at great expense:
• An introduction and background to creating courses easily
Module 1: Deciding on Your Perfect eCourse
People ARE are looking for information that only you can provide.
In this module, you will quickly discover…
Module 2: How to Find Your Pricing and Positioning "Sweet Spot"
Once you know what you're going to offer, it's time to talk pricing.
And let's face it, this is where a lot of new (and even established) coaches get stuck.
After all, if you price yourself too high, you run the risk of losing sales.
Too low, and your audience might wonder if your eCourse has any value at all ...
In this module, you will quickly discover…
Module 3: Setting up a Foolproof eCourse Structure
If you're like a lot of super creative, heart-centered coaches, Module 3 is where the magic will happen.
You've probably already outlined your course—maybe several times.
You already know what you'll charge for it and who will buy it and why they need it.
What you don't know—yet—is how you will deliver it.
Module 3 will walk you through the techy bits and relieve that feeling of overwhelm so you can finally release your new eCourse to the world.
In this module, you will quickly discover…
Module 4: Pre-Launch, Follow-up and Keeping Them Engaged
Now that you have all the pieces in place, it's time to get the word out and make your course a raving success.
I have a simple plan for making that happen, and it's all laid out for you in Module 4.
In this module, you will quickly discover…
... and I've included 4 sets of extensive Notes, Checklists and Action Plans.
Now, making $1,000 a day is not easy - but I've proved that, starting from nothing - no list, no subscribers, no content ... and no idea (!) - that it IS possible.
Your initial earnings target, as ever, is $1,000 a month - and I've arranged that you can get the whole course today, but that you can "spread the cost" over a period, allowing you to "pay as you earn". I only wish I'd had that option! Sigh!
Err, and the quicker you enrol, the quicker you'll be making money .....
I have taught almost 100,000 people, worldwide, how to make extra money, simply, quickly and easily.
I've now spent over 40 years running businesses, whilst also interviewing and working with some of the most famous business people in the world.
I've run and managed many hugely successful businesses – all whilst also producing hundreds of radio and TV broadcasts, articles and videos, explaining business to start-ups and established businesses alike.
I now travel the world each month, talking to groups large and small about my experiences whilst interviewing many hundreds of successful business people - many of whose experiences and knowledge I turn into courses for you.
I also sell my courses on business to almost 100,000 individuals - these cost between a few dollars and $10,000 each.
I have interests / investments in over 30 businesses worldwide, including YouTube (where I've already made over a million dollars), Amazon and publishing.
My printed business books are available at bookshops worldwide, as well as on Kindle and as audio books from Audible.
My Twitter accounts have over 60,000 ardent followers.
I've discovered success the hard way – through personal experience …. and you can now learn from these successes from my books and courses.
