text: Home Gallery Video Apple Watch Sprinkle Apple Watch: Sprinkle New Ads Move Away From Emotional Trend of Tec Ads Published on Oct 09, 2015 Editor's Pick As tech advertising of late has started to blur together into one big emotional marshmallow, Apple appears to be taking a different tack in its latest ads for the Apple Watch. Steering clear of the zeitgeist of product as emotional connector, the series of spots seems to take a page out of playbooks of fashion brands and retailers such as the Gap or Target. Their spare, design-minded tableaux feature one or two actors against simple backdrops, accompanied by a cool selection of tunes. Barebones stories hinging on a date (in one spot starring actress Lake Bell and her husband tattoo artist Scott Campbell), a fallen ice cream cone, a cycling or boxing workout, a scooter ride or a song help to put the watch itself at center stage. If anything, the ads feel more like the brand's classic iPod silhouettes spots than its recent, story-driven commercials. We can't help wonder if the influence of Apple's big name fashion hires is spilling over into the marketing. Since Apple's appointment of Burberry CEO in October 2013, the company has added other industry talent including YSL's Paul Deneve and Catherine Monier, designer Marc Newson and Marcela Aguilar, former senior global director of marketing communications at Gap Inc.

Hello everyone,
It has been a while since we have got together and I thought I would organise this event for Thursday, 8th November.
The networking session is open to all people who are interested in entrepreneurship, are involved in a small business, venture capital or business development, or would like to get involved in the future.
The session is to encourage ideas, discussions, meeting new people and we will also be encouraging company pitches for those who would like the opportunity to present their business ideas in 4 minutes.
This meetup represents the final one that I will host. I started this meetup group 6 years ago, and it is a amazing that we have created such a good network of people. However, sadly, I will be looking for a new owner for the group as I am moving to Zurich in November. I hope that you will take the opportunity to join us on the 8th November and just perhaps you will be interested to take over the network as a whole!
With kind regards and look forward to meeting you all,
It was really good to meet so many entrepreneurs in Geneva, and being challenging on pitches is always the best !
For those who want check http://up-to-wine.com and I'll be happy to chat with those interested in a swiss-german marketing development and app development !

Hi Tash - have fun with your new job in eastern Europe.
You brought a very special personal commitment to building this huge group. Here's 6 years of thank-yous from Geneva Entrepreneurs.
As you know, a few of us run a home for abandoned Meetup Groups, so if you don't find a new organizer in time for 2013, your meetup will be welcomed and properly fed until new organizers get their act together - it's out of the question to disband a group with 700+ entrepreneurs - even in big cities it would be a big one. See you next Nov 8. Maybe you already have volunteers for group org. Hope everyone makes a special effort to come and give Tash a big hug.

5 Protein Shake Rules You Should Always Follow
Your pre-or-post-workout protein shake may taste great, but if you're not careful, it could actually undo your efforts to lose weight and be healthy.
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
[ione_facebook_like_box url_segment=blackdoctor.org height="260″]
The Pros Of Protein Shakes
PRO: For people who don't have time to get their protein intake through food or want a quick recovery drink after a workout, protein shakes are a good alternative, according to nutritionist Keri Glassman, R.D.
What's more, protein can aid in weight loss. Recent research published in the journal Cell found that digested proteins create a chain reaction in the digestive, nervous and circulatory systems that leave you feeling full hours after eating. That long-lasting satiety helps you eat less later on, which can mean a lower-or at least a steady-number on the scale.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before ... Every year, I attend the annual convention hosted by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).*
* Well, almost every year. My first convention was in Cleveland, in 1990. I met Charles Alexander and Mike Sowell, two of my writing heroes. Since then, I've missed two conventions: San Diego in 1993 (when I was poor) and Washington, D.C., in 2009 (when I was sort of poor).
For a few years now, the convention has been part of what my friends Mark Armour and Jeff Bower dubbed "the Boondoggle" ... Every year, we turn what should be a four- or five-day trip into a seven- or eight-day trip, with a stop or two along the way to the convention city. When the convention was in St. Louis, we started in Kansas City. When it was in Cleveland, we started in New York, saw a couple of games there, then drove to Ohio by way of Cooperstown.
Trust me, it's all quite the gas.
This year: Atlanta, by way of New Orleans. And here's another of our little traditions: Every year we take our baseball gloves along and find somewhere historical for a catch. In Kansas City it was Satchel Paige's gravesite; in St. Louis it was the site of old Sportsman's Park.
As best we can tell, there's one Hall of Fame baseball player buried in New Orleans: Melvin Thomas Ott.
Actually, that's not quite right. If you've got any money, you don't get buried in New Orleans; you get placed in a personal mausoleum. So yesterday Jeff and Mark and I went hunting for Mel Ott's interment site in Metairie Cemetery. (These expeditions are possible only because of the research that's been done by (mostly) SABR members, particularly Stew Thornley, who got the ball rolling with his list of Hall of Fame grave sites.)
We found it, and pretty quickly (which is a good thing when it's 95 degrees and the sun is unmerciful). If you've ever been to New Orleans, you've probably found it, too. Though unwittingly. Ott's spot isn't more than 50 feet from I-10, easily visible from the highway, with a corner spot shaded by a large oak tree. If you're heading into the city from the airport, Ott's tomb is easily seen on your right, the first as you pass Metairie.
Mark and I had a catch -- Jeff left his mitt back home -- with our old-style gloves. Mark's got a vintage Joe Cronin model. I've got a reporoduction of Bob Feller's glove from the late 1940s. We might have left our baseball as a small offering, but there are more catches scheduled for the next couple of days as we wend our way through Alabama and Mississippi.*
* By the way, if you ever want to really appreciate what those old-timers were up against, try playing catch with the old-time gloves. In the heat of a mid-summer day. While wearing woolen jerseys and pants. Granted, we weren't wearing woolen uniforms. But the old gloves weren't much use and the heat has you sweating after a few minutes of walking slowly. Those old-timers didn't have things easy.
It's those gloves that you can see in the photo, along with a baseball that we might have left there, except there are more adventures as we work our way across Mississippi. Meanwhile, all the talk about Mel Ott raised the story of his premature death. In 1958, Ott was involved in an auto accident that left him mortally wounded and killed the other driver ... Who has always been accused of crossing the center line and causing the accident (perhaps while intoxicated).
Not long ago, though, the son of that driver contacted SABR -- which includes an article about Ott in its massive BioProject -- to suggest that it was Ott who caused the accident (and might himself have been intoxicated), and that his father has been unfairly held accountable for all these years. Whether because Ott was famous or because the other fellow was African-American in Louisiana in 1958 ... Well, it's been more than 50 years now, and a lot of things have changed in Louisiana. We'll probably never know what really happened that night.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 23 reviews
We stayed here during Christo's "Floating Peers" event. Great place to stay, off the beaten track, away from the maddening crowd... Lovely family running the place, very happy to help and provide advice. Only criticism I have of the rooms, is that reading lights are non-existent, making reading in bed an underwehlming experience.

Specification of Letters'Patent. P tented Jan; 2, 191 '7.
Application filed April 8, 1916. Serial No. 89,851.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, PHILIP BERNARD, a citizen of the United States, residlng at Sioux City, in the county of Woodbury and.
State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Rain-Water Filter, of which the following is a specification. V d
The present invention relates to an improved rain-water filter of the type adapted to be mounted in a rain spout.
An object of this invention is toprovide a filter of this character which may be easily and quickly secured to and removed from the rain spout which extends down against the side of thewall, sothat the filter may be stored away inside the house during the winter when not in use, to protect the filter from the severe weather and prevent its possible bursting by accumulations of ice therein; and to providea device which is of such peculiar construction, and which is so mounted against the wall that it may be fitted to and detached from the rain spout and the wall simply by the act of assembling and separating the sections of the filter, and
without the tightening or loosening of screws, bolts, nails, clamps, or other attaching devices.
Another object of the invention is to provide a filter which throws off from the spout all excess water, or all water over the amount which can properly permeate through the filter and be cleansed, as desired. Thus, rain-water which cannot be properly filtered is'prevented from passing,
farther down the spout and into the cistern, or the storage receptacle; and to provide the filter with a detachable water spreading and refuse collecting plate to distribute the the upper section lifted out of the lower section and inclined outwardly at its lower end,
in the act of removing or positioning the upper section, the dotted lines showing the upper section in place. Fig. 3 is' a similar View, showing the cap and elbow used on the spout when the filter isremoved' Fig. 4 is a vertical, central, sectional, enlarged view, taken through the filter from front to back, or through its narrower dimension, and showing the same secured against the wall and fitting upon the upper and lower spout sections. Fig. 5 is a vertical enlarged sectional view of the filter in position, taken at right angles'to the showing in Fig. 4:, or from side to side of the filter through its larger dimension.v Fig. 6iis a horizontal sectional view, taken through the upper end of the body of the filter, and showing the upper screen or partition. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view of the cover or top which 'is detachably mounted on the body of the filter. Fig. 8 is a detail perspective view of the combined water spreading and refuse collecting plate, which is detachably mounted in the top of the body section a Referring to these drawings, wherein like parts are designated by similar numerals of.
reference throughout the several views, 10 des gnates a wall of a house, orthelike, which is provided in the usual manner with a rain spout 11, extending downwardly against the wall from theiroof. According to the present invention, the spout l1 terminates at a substantial distance above the ground, as shown in the drawings, and registers vertically over a lower spout section 12, which is branched to provide a conducting pipe 13 leading to a cistern, or any other suitable device for holdingthe filtered rainwater until used. The opposite branch. 14 constitutes a discharge branch which di: rects the downpouring rain-water away from the wall. A valve may be employed in the lower section 12 of the spout to control the fiow of the rain-water through the branches 13 and 14, and may be operated by ahandle 15.
A lower or base section 16 is provided, which is inv the form of a preferably rectangular relatively deep 'pan or basin provided with 'a vertically positioned nipple 17 of a size to freely fit into the upper open end of the spout section 12. The rear wall of the base section 16 is provided, near its opposite ends, with slots 18 of such form as to present an enlarged lower end and a relatively small upper-end.- Headeil projectionsi. 19, shown in the present instance asin'the form ofscrews, are secured,-i n:,the walLILQ in registry with the slots 18; and are so positioned as to project the heads iethereofa. sufficiently outward to engage through the,-
slots 18, ,zandrbind ,against ;the inner ."face of the rear of the section 16.
i/Vhen the base section 16 is" adjusted into position to bring the nipple 17 oventhespout sectionfl2, the headsof the pr.oj;ectionsf. 19 7 pass through ,the lower "enlarged ends of. the slots "18. As the base section 16 is i moved downwardly against the lower-section 12 of the rain spout, the projections19. engage in the' upper reducedendsofthe slotsto securely hold the base section 16 from "falling forwardly 'fromfjthe all 10; and} to mainbead 22 at the base of the upper section .20.

jAfiltering element 2 1, ldisclosedfin the present instance as of granulated charcoal, is; placed in the body .sectionr20. 'T,he.' cha coal rests upon the wire mesh'bottom 1 215 and is held in place thereon by means of a perforated partition or platej25, 'shownas composed of a wire mesh screen placedfin the-upper end .of the body s'ecti'on 2O This partition 25 is held in placeby means of metal strips/7:26. *Thest'rips are overturned laterally to bring their longitudinal edges together, and receive "therebetween the Joprposite ends of'the partition'25. The strips are then': bent at right angles to secure the ends'of' the partition 25 therein. The strips -26 areffintlly secured against the opposite end walls of the'section"20 by bolts, or'the like, to stretch the partition 25Jover "the charcoal.
AA* chamber 27 is provided in the upperend of *the'section '20 above the partition '25. llvithimthe chamber isfitted' a' spreading plate-28. "The plate 28 is bent intermediate its longitudinal edges, .and is substantially V-shaped'in'cross section, as shown' to ad vantage'gin-Figs. 'ijtnCl, 8. "The plate, 28 is offa'size sufficient' to extend entirely over tlie fil tei in'g 'eleme'nt and has its opposite longitudinal edges resting against the front ;and;rear,wallsgof the body section 20.

As showniin the vdrawings, there are two of theseslots'lii',
and a corresponding pair of headed projections'38. These projectionsj38 h'oldjthe body section 20 rigidly against the walll10 and in alinelnent with and the upper spout section 11. 5
th base ,7 section, 1 7
The spreader plate 28 is provided with a plurality of openings 39 therethrough which may be arranged in any desired manner. In the present instance, the same are dis closed in the arrangementof three rows, one row arranged along the bent intermediate portion of the plate, while the lateral rows are arranged substantially intermediate the edges of the wings or sides of the plate. This provides for the delivery of the rainwater in a number of separate streams of a predetermined size, depending upon the diameter of the openings 39, and in such spaced apart relation that the water is dropped upon the filtering element 24 without any great force. This allows the water to percolate through the mass of charcoal by gravity and not by force, so that the water is thoroughly cleansed and purified when it drops into the basin or lower section 16.
In use, when the device is to be applied, the base section 16 is first placed over the lower section 12 of the spout with its rear wall against the wall 10, and its nipple 17 directly over the spout section 12. The base 16 is now forced downwardly to engage the nipple 17 in the spout section and also to move the slotted portions of the base section downwardly about the headed projections 19, and thus bind the base section to the heads. This holds the base section rigidly in place. The body section 20 is now inclined inwardly toward the wall 10, as shown in Fig. 2, to bring the slot 36 beneath the upper spout section 11. The body section is moved upwardly about the spout section 11 sufiiciently to clear the flange 23 from the base section, when the lower end of the "body 20 is swung inwardly against the wall and is then slid downwardly to seat the flange 23 in the top of the base section. As soon as the body 20 is swung flat against the wall 10, the slots 37 receive the headed projections 38 therein, and as the body is moved downwardly, the slotted portions thereof are carried downwardly, so as to bind against the heads of the projections and thus securely hold the body section to the wall and beneath the spout.
Rain-water pouring down the spout 11" strikes the inner wing of the plate 28 and is deflected downwardly and forwardly. The deflecting flange 30 at the forward edge of the spreader deflects the flashing. water back into the spreader plate and prevents it from striking with force against the cover 31 and thus working over the edges of the body 20 and outwardly therefrom. Should the quantity of water be excessive and thus tend to force the underlying water too rapidly through the filtering element 24, the excess water flows out of the openings 32, and is thus carried off from the interior of the filter. This unfiltered water, therefore, cannot possibly enter the lower section 12 of the rain spout.
To remove the filter, it is only necessary to lift the body section 20 upwardly, so as to free the projections 38 from the slots 37, and
to lift the flange 23 out of the base 16. The body may now be swung outwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, and then be drawn downwardly free from the upper section 11 of the spout. The base 16 may now be lifted upwardly and drawn outwardly to. free the base section from the wall 10 and also from the lower spout section 12. To gain access to the body 20, it is only necessary to slide the cover 31 forwardly to disengage the same from the flanges 31 and admit of the lifting of the cover away from the body. The spreader plate 28 may now be removed by grasping the inturned flange 30 and lifting the plate out from the pins 29., Should leaves, or other foreign refuse, be carried down the rain spout 11, the spreader plate 28 collects and holds the leaves and prevents their passage down through the relatively small openings 39. Thus, the filter is prevented from becoming clogged and the larger particles taken up by the rain-water may be easily and quickly removed.
When the filter is removed for packing the same away during the winter months, the upper section 11 of the rain spout may be provided with an outwardly extending elbow 40 adapted to direct the rain-water outwardly from the wall. The lower section 12 of the rain spout is preferably closed by a conducting pipe spaced therebeneath, of a basin having a depending nipple in its bottom adapted to fit into the upper end of the conducting pipe, and a filter section having an opening in its top adapted to slidably re ceive the lower end of the rain spout when said top is tilted inwardly beneath the spout, the filter section being adapted to be raised upon the spout and swung inwardly at its lower end and fitted thereat upon the basin.
2. In combination with a wall having thereon a rain spout and a conducting pipe spaced beneath the spout, of a basin having a depending nipple in its bottom adapted to fit into the upper end of the conducting pipe,
a filter section having an opening in its top be seated upon the basin, and supporting means on the wall adapted to interlock with 7 both the basin and the filter-section by-the positioning of the same, to support the'filter independently of the spout and the pipe.

Today's featured event: Bring the outdoors inside at the Boulder Theater's Beat the Heat Film Series
The heat's on, and suddenly the idea of sweltering outdoors just for the privilege of watching a movie for free stops sounding so swell. Sure, there's something delightful about that general get-out-your-lawn-chairs-and-chill ambience of the outdoor movie, but how do you chill when it's still 85 degrees?
You go indoors, that's what you do, and you bring your lawn chairs and your blankets with you to the Boulder Theater, where the Beat the Heat Film Series debuts tonight at 8 p.m. with a screening of a Coen brothers cult classic, Raising Arizona. You'll laugh your head off at the antics of Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter and John Goodman in this twisted kidnapping yarn, and to lend authenticity to the whole experience, the theater will grill up burgers and offer pints of Twisted Pine for three bucks.
The Beat the Heat series lineup, featuring films chosen in advance by an audience vote (and including another Coen brothers gem and all-time Boulder theater favorite, The Big Lebowski, later in the season), continues with five more screenings, through August 19; it's not free, but the price is pretty darn close: Admission is $5 at the door.
Visit www.bouldertheater.com for the complete schedule, or call 303-786-7030.
