Wayne Gretzky
November 30, 2011 by staff
Wayne Gretzky, Wayne Gretzky's 22-year-old daughter may have had an assist from her famous father when it came time to shut down her racy Twitter account.
Paulina Gretzky, an aspiring actress/musician/model, posted so many photos on her profile that COED Magazine recently compiled a web feature of her "77 Sexiest Twitpics."
The Great One's oldest daughter appears in swimsuits, underwear and partying in a slinky black dress and other revealing attire. All fine for an adult woman to wear of course, but exactly the kind of images that might cause a father's blood to boil.
It seems that may have been the case as her account closed shortly after she posted she was "Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media..haha #SIKEEE."
She deleted her account on the weekend, and did not indicate if she would be back.
"Taking a break from Twitter for a bit. Happy Holidays!!! xoxo," Gretzky tweeted shortly before shutting her profile down.
Paulina Gretzky has a song on the soundtrack of MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and has had parts in two films. She is the oldest of five children in the Gretzky family.

Knut Jul Svendsen dies; owner of Chicken Delight shop was 92
Knut Jul Svendsen, a U.S. Army veteran who went on to run a number of businesses in Queens Village, was remembered by family and friends for his tireless work ethic and endless curiosity.
He died Jan. 12 at age 92.
Born in Drammen, Norway, in 1923, he immigrated to the United States at age 6 and grew up in Brooklyn. He worked a series of jobs and studied engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, now the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, for two years before he was drafted. He never finished his degree.
For his service in World War II and later the Korean War, Svendsen received the World War II Victory Medal, the American Defense Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal and the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal.
Upon returning from the war he settled in New Hyde Park with his wife, Unni, whom he married Feb. 7, 1948, and began work as an engineer with Sperry Rand. In 1963, while still working at Sperry Rand, he opened a Chicken Delight store in Queens Village.
During the 15 years he owned and operated the fast-food restaurant, his daughter Lorie Pelan remembered him working back-to-back shifts, beginning his day at 6 a.m. at Sperry Rand and working until 11 p.m. at Chicken Delight. Due to growing competition from other chain restaurants, he eventually closed up shop, but not before buying the building that housed the store and taking a bullet to the shoulder while fighting off a thief.
He would go on to run a successful bicycle repair shop and frozen food distribution business.
"He had an incredible energy. He was so hardworking and still so generous with his time, even up until the end," said Pelan, of Ronkonkoma.
Retiring gave him the time needed to indulge his insatiable curiosity, Kyle Pelan said of his grandfather, who took algebra and geometry lessons online at night and experimented with growing fruits and vegetables in his small backyard in New Hyde Park.
He remembers his grandfather often showing children who would gape through the fence at Svendsen's garden from Manor Oaks Elementary School the progress his fruits and vegetables were making and giving each of them tiny tomatoes, lima beans or whatever else was in season.
"He was a selfless man. He loved doing things for others and had a huge heart," said Kevin Kapela, Svendsen's neighbor of 27 years.
For years, Svendsen would dress up as Santa Claus, climb up on his roof and throw presents down to the neighborhood children, Kapela said. He stopped some time in his 70s when climbing became difficult, but Kapela says he continued clearing snow from his neighbors' driveways until he died.
In Svendsen's final days, family friend Darah Salmaggi asked him for advice on how to live life well.
"Don't get old," Svendsen replied, laughing. "Always have a sense of humor in life, you'll need it. Don't smoke, don't drink . . . and if you have a family, make sure you take care of them."
In addition to his wife of 67 years, his daughter and grandson, Svendsen is survived by two sons, Bruce Svendsen of Danbury, Connecticut, and Brian Svendsen of Hauppauge; two other daughters, Karen Condon of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Bonnie Bracken of Greenport; 12 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service was held last week at R. Stutzmann & Son Funeral Home in New Hyde Park. After cremation, his remains will be interred at Long Island National Cemetery in Pinelawn and a family plot in Drammen.

Some pets seem to have figured out exactly how to work humans. My friend's dog (strangely named Bert) is one of those. He has my friend going from pet store to pet store, at least once a week, to get him the latest toys and treats. We all make fun of her, saying that when Bert cracks his whip (puppy eyes), she is running to a pet store.
So when I heard of Barkbox, the subscription box for dogs, I immediately thought of her.
Subscription boxes have been around for some years now.
They surprise people with all kinds of monthly goodies, from food and wine to gadgets and books. It's a pretty nice idea to introduce them to pets, and especially dogs.
Dogs require a constant supply of treats and toys to stay healthy and happy. Instead of having to go to the pet store every time, and having to decide what to get this time, a team of experts is picking the best stuff and sends it directly to our door. So you get to use your valuable time with your dog. In our busy times right now, it's more important than ever to spend real time with our pets.
Our Test
So since we had access to Bert, the world's pickiest dog, we decided to subscribe to Barkbox Just Right (medium) for four months and see what would happen. According to their website, Barkbox will include two toys, two bags of treats, and a chew, every month.
One thing that we liked about Barkbox is that they chose to create monthly themes instead of randomly combining a bunch of stuff. Every month it's exciting to find out what the theme is going to be. We loved the excitement of opening the box and discovering the new theme.
Month 1
For our first month, the theme was "Home for the Holidays," because of Thanksgiving. When we opened the box, there were a lot of things inside;
- Bark & Co Single Roll Poop Bag
- Pipsqueak Pup Chicken Jerky
- Plush Turkey Toy
- Lick The Chef Apron
- Nature's Bits Turpumpkin Treats
- Pig Ear Chew
The value of these items combined is around $40, which is a lot more than the price of the subscription.
So we tested all these things on Bert during the month. Some of these things we have seen around the local pet store, but many are entirely new. The only thing that Bert didn't take to was the apron. Some dogs are used to being dressed up, and some are not. Bert is one of the latter kind and doesn't like anything other than his collar on him.
So there was no need to go to the pet store this month. And Bert was pretty happy, except when he was made to wear an apron:)
Month 2
After the success of the first month, we were excited to see what would arrive now. This time the theme was "Lodge Life". When we opened the box, Bert was paying close attention.
- Stella the Snow Bunny
- Hugo's Hot Cocoa
- Duck Party Platter
- Nice Jerky Bites Chicken and Duck
- Dynamo Butcher's Block Beef Chew
Again the value of all the items combined was around $40, which makes it a great deal, depending on how your dog responds to the contents. Bert mostly appreciated these months contents. He enjoyed the treats, which were all gone after the first week.
He is however very picky when it comes to plush toys. The snow bunny was a favorite, but the cup of chocolate not. I guess Bert is more of a coffee kind of guy.
Month 3
This month's theme turned out to be "Pup in the Air". Let's see what gifts we are getting this time. We are becoming used to this excitement at the beginning of the month.
- Snack Rings with Lamb & Cheddar
- Squeakin on a Jet Plane Toy
- Crunchy Duck Chew
- Suitcase Toy
- Farm Fresh Chicken, Pea, Kale & Quinoa
These treats are not only delicious, at least to our dog, they are also very healthy. Barkbox makes sure always to use treats that have only natural ingredients, and most are also from 100% organic origins. I think it's every pet owner's duty to make sure that their pets get only healthy and safe food. Dogs cannot read the ingredients list and just have to trust us to give them good food.
Month 4
Another month, another theme. Whoohooo!!. This time it's Sniffin Safari. So far these themes have been an excellent way to start the month, there is always something funny to be found. Let's see what the box holds.
- Lamb and Sweet Potato Trainers
- Koha Pork Jerky Bites
- Chewfasa The Lion
- Butcher's Block Krunchie Tubes
- Dr. Licking Stone Plush toy
Bert was euphoric this month. The treats were very much appreciated, and the toys were great too. The lion toy was his favorite, probably because it's a Felida (of cat family). Bert has very strong feelings about cats:)
So how did our little experiment go?
- My friend has only been to the pet store twice during these four months, to pick up regular food.
- We have discovered some great toys and treats, which we never knew before. And that we probably wouldn't have bought from the store.
- Bert has had a ball during these months. I think he is starting to see the pattern because he is spending a lot of time at the door around the beginning of the month
- With an average value of $40 per month and a maximum price of $29 we saved 25% on pet toys, per month.
If you have one or more dogs with an appetite for treats and toys, then Barkbox might just be a great option for you.
- High quality
- All natural and Non-GMO food and treats to protect your dog's health.
- Price of box is lower than separate toys.
- No need for regular visits to pet store
- Themed boxes let you discover toys you'd probably never buy yourself
- Selected by dog experts
- Sometimes contents don't match with dog

Kris Bjarnson became a devoted father. No matter how hard he worked, he always found time for me. When Mother worked late, which was frequent, I curled up onto his lap, and he would regale me with stories. He always began the same way.
"In the land of here and now and right away, lived a little girl named Gwen, or was it Amy?
"Her hair was golden blonde or black. Does it matter?
"She was your age? Or was she older? Or a little younger? Oh, you know, it doesn't really matter.
"She lived a humdrum life, in a ho-hum way, but one day, one day..."
He then recounted one of my daily adventures. My dad was a magnificent storyteller. He a gift for taking the mundane and mking it magical. There in his lap, snuggled up close to his flannel shirt, I was rocked to sleep by his words. Soap and water couldn't hide his farmer's cologne -- a heady blend of sheep, hay, and soil.

The Doppelgänger
A doppelgänger hails from Vioo, the barren, dark realm that exists on the other side of mirrors and mirror-like surfaces (which form the only passages through which light passes into Vioo). Most of the time, doppelgängers have no life apart from acting as reflections for whomever is facing the mirror (which isn't to say that all reflections are doppel- gängers). These monsters hate their limited existences. They hate the fact that they fade in and out of being, and that their appearances change, and doppelgängers most of all hate the people their strange state of being forces them to mimic.
Rarely, a doppelgänger's hatred becomes so great that the monster manages to transcend the limitations of its nature. When this happens, the doppelgänger can act independently of the person using the mirror, and the doppelgänger can even break through the mirrored surface to enter our world. Then, the doppelgänger seeks to murder and replace the person it almost perfectly duplicates.
Doppelgängers have enormous physical strength. As such, they enjoy a +2 bonus to attack rolls, and their weapon attacks (including unarmed attacks) inflict an extra 1d6 points of damage. These creatures are immune to sleep and charm, and they are considered magic resistant for purposes such as breaking through wizard lock and similar spells. They have a very good saving throw (5+) against magic of all kinds.

LittleBigPlanet Karting is a Kart Racing game that incorporates the familiar Platforming, and user generated content elements of the LittleBigPlanet universe, that sets the game apart from all kart racing games before it. The campaign of the game features a racing game mechanic in which players compete across tracks, with the goal of saving the Craftworld universe. The tracks of LittleBigPlanet Karting are filled with unique challenges, obstacles, mission objectives, boss battles and mini-games, which require much more than standard kart racing games. Along the way players gain access to a wide variety of weapons and power-ups that can be used increase their progress and/or impede that of opponents.
Along the lines of creativity, LittleBigPlanet Karting is also a true LittleBigPlanet game, firmly embracing the "Play, Create, Share" of the game series. Players can customize their Sackboy, as well as their karts, tracks and the rules to races. With this extreme freedom, races can be molded to be as constricted or open as the player chooses, and include as many obstacles, platforming challenges and mini-games as can be dreamt up. The game also incorporates familiar LBP grapple hook functionality, adding exciting platforming options to track/game design. Once tracks/games are created, they can be shared online through the PlayStation Network with other players in the LBP community. Multiplayer functionality includes four-player support in local play and support for up to eight players in multiple modes online via PlayStation Network.

South Normanton maintained their position at the top of the East Midlands Counties table with a clinical 5-2 win against lowly Holwell Sports.
After an even opening, the Shiners scored with their first meaningful attack when Kyle Wadsworth scored from 12 yards after a good build-up involving Tom Leighton.
The Shiners though went further ahead on the half hour when the hapless Randall fouled Fay in the box and Newton fired home from the penalty spot.
The home side were looking to finish the game quickly and Newton had a tremendous strike from 20 yards well saved by Cragg who pushed around for a corner. This was repelled at the expense of another corner and, from the second, Mottershead had an effort well saved.
The visitors were rocked right on the stroke of half-time in a repeat of the first goal when Newton setting up Wadsworth for his second of the season.
The visitors came out unchanged and once again pressed the hosts, but the contest appeared to be over on 50 minutes when a lighting break from one end of the field to the other saw Fay set up Newton to score his 12th goal of the campaign.
Holwell did however get back into the game firstly on 65 minutes when, from a short corner, Chapman knocked in a great cross to pick out Graham Wells who headed home past Smith from six yards out.
This stirred the home side back into action when another passage of play saw Fay and Griffiths engineer an opening for Leighton who fired home a delightfull shot into the top corner from 25 yards with Richard Cragg powerless to react.
Scott Mooney was introduced for the visitors straight after and he provided problems immediately and was rewarded with another great strike from 20 yards to entertain the watching crowd.
South Normaton face Borrowash Victoria on Saturday at the M J Robinson Structures Arena.

Have Your Set Your 2017 Goals Yet?
With the new year being just a few weeks away, this is the perfect time to set your goals, intentions, and dreams for 2017. Doing this will automatically set you up for a successful year.
Goal setting is an important way to:
Decide what you want to achieve in your life.
Separate what's important from what's irrelevant, or a distraction.
Motivate yourself.
Build your self-confidence, based on achievement of your goals.
Do you feel like you just don't have time to set and maintain goals?
We all have busy lives and daily obligations that can prevent us from keeping our minds set on our goals. But that does not have to be the case. Make goal setting a priority by setting aside an hour so before the new year to write down your goals. When you write down your goals, they take on a life of their own. The written word is so much more powerful than keeping it as a thought because thoughts come and go. Writing down your goals makes them more concrete and real. Studies show that goals are more likely to be achieved when you put them in writing
Ask yourself the following questions as a guide as you prepare your list of goals for 2017. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE BLOG
10 steps to Create a Winning Vision Board
Earlier this year I facilitated an online training on
how to create a winning vision board that gets
results. I can attest that if done correctly, vision
boards really do work! Since January I have had
3 items from my vision board manifest.
Do you have a vision for your life? What do you want the rest of your life to be like?
One of my favorite quotes by Louise Hay says, 'Let the rest of your life be the best of your life.'
Take the time to get really clear about what you want in life. Whether you visualize it, write it down, or represent it in pictures in the form of a Vision Board. This is a powerful first step to making what you want a reality.
The idea behind creating a Vision Board is that when you surround yourself with images of who and what you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to go, your life will begin to change and reflect those images and those desires. Vision Boards add clarity to your desires and feeling to your visions. I believe it's one of the most powerful and valuable visualization tools that you can make available to yourself.
Here are my 10 Steps to Creating a Winning Vision Board.CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE BLOG.
A Clean Start: Clear The Clutter Before The New Year
With the new year being just a few weeks away, this
is the perfect opportunity to clear clutter for the mind,
body, and soul by clearing out what no longer serves
us well. Letting go of the old, worn out or stale is a
powerful action that creates new space for fresh, beautiful,
new beginnings!
Begin by getting rid of all forms of clutter. When your space is in order, your thinking will be clearer and allow space for positive energy to flow. It will also enable your environment to be a healthier and happier place. Those things, people, or ideas that once served a useful purpose in our lives, but now are no longer useful, get rid of them! For example, if you look in your pantry, you are likely to find some items that expired a long time ago. These things are not safe to eat, and you will never use them, but for some reason, they remain on the shelf taking up valuable space. Look in your closet. There are probably clothes in there that you know you will never wear again. But, year after year, they remain in your closet taking up valuable space and leaving a cluttered mess. A good rule to follow is if you have not used an item in the past 12 months, get rid of it. This applies to clothing, household appliances, and outdoor equipment.
There is also mental clutter that clogs our brains with old ideas and memories that do not serve us well. If we don't clear the clutter from our lives, we aren't able to let new feelings, experiences, projects, visions and relationships flow in. We often can become so focused on wanting to add so much more to our lives that we don't realize that what we get rid of can have the most profound impact of all.
Cleanse your soul by praying and meditating every day, even if it is just for a few minutes. Sit quietly for a few moments. Learn just to be still with yourself. As you do this, focus on your breathing by breathing in positive thoughts and breathing out negative thoughts. Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure and improves overall health. I truly believe that spending time daily in prayer and meditation is uplifting and cleansing the soul. CLICK HERE to download my 'Remove negative thoughts' mediation.

I mean.... i dont have a brand, but i like them high powered and hot. prefer dual heads. don't really like those rain showers that drip down directly above you.
I prefer a tub shower

I actually additionally wished to request, did someone encounter such an issue? And what will take place if they find out that my essay was bought, and not written by me
And no curtains or booths thank god.
(just the underarms for the uninitiate )
My current shower is basically this setup and I love it:
I replaced the default shower head with a Speakman brand head and it made a huge difference.
It's not the best, but it works for me. There are some hotel showers that outperform it, usually because the water comes out with more force.
Showers in a bath-tub are horrible imo.
Oh, and a lot of American showers are too low. They are at shoulder or chest height for me, so I have to duck in order to wash my hair.
1) does not let the temperature of the water be effected by the opening of other taps around the house
2) Can consistently stream, steaming, flesh red turning hot water for over 20 minutes without going cold (big hot water tank in the basement)
3) Has at least 3 settings, of powerful (muslce) Massaging level of stream, medium strength stream and a soft (rain like) stream.
4) Sits higher than my height and stream is wide enough to cover my body.
The rest is gravy
Best shower I ever had!
Better than a "Gravy Boat" shower.

1. Field
The present inventions relate generally to systems and methods for user interfaces, and in one example to a content display and navigation interface operable within an animated browser interface.
2. Related Art
The Internet and other networks interconnect computers and computing devices to allow for easy transport of data over network connections. Commonly computers and computing devices are organized using the client-server model, wherein network connections are established between some computers or computing devices that act as servers and some computers or computing devices that act as clients. Of course, some computers or computing devices can act as servers and clients.
An example of a server is a web server and an example of a client is a web client such as a personal computer running a web browser program. Many different web clients have been developed and variations of web clients are being developed regularly. Merely by way of example, a web client could be embodied in a desktop computer, laptop computer, handheld device, cellular telephone, wireless device, electronic device with embedded web client functionality, or the like. Generally, all that is required of a device is a user interface and a network interface.
Generally, a web client operates according to the interface to issue requests to web servers, using well-known (or other suitable) protocols. In response to requests received, web servers return data responses. In a typical description of web client-server interaction, the HTTP protocol is assumed to be used, wherein the web client issues a request directed at a particular web server address for a page represented by a URL in the request and a server responsive to the particular web server address responds with data that may be a page to be displayed or other data set. Generally, regardless of the actual data being requested and returned, the data returned is referred to as a web page.
A web client that is capable of presenting all or part of a web page in a user interface to a user and accepting user input wherein at least some of the user input can cause the web client to present different and custom web pages and are often referred to as a "Web browser" because of its common use by a user to navigate among web pages generally considered to be part of a "Web" of pages that reference other pages.
Web browsers are known and are in common use and often provide functionality in addition to presenting web pages and accepting user input related to presented web pages. For example, web pages might include program elements that are executed by a web browser upon receipt of a web page including such program elements. One example of such program elements are JAVA� applets.
Web pages also might include program elements that cause a web server to take an action. For example, a web server might provide portal services, wherein the web server collects information from various sources and upon request generates a portal page for a web client. An example of such a portal page is the main Yahoo!� page (www.yahoo.com) and personalized pages provided by My Yahoo!� (my.yahoo.com). The latter provides for pages to be delivered to web clients that are customized based on user preferences stored, e.g., at the server.
Customized web pages and varied layouts often provide a rich user experience, but if the presentation of information and content is difficult to manage or too large to navigate the experience may be less favorable.
According to some aspects of the inventions provided herein, systems and methods for navigating and viewing information on a device (e.g., a computer, personal computer, mobile computer device, and the like) are provided.
In one aspect provided herein, a content navigation interface apparatus for displaying content is described. In one example, the apparatus includes display logic for displaying at least two content properties, wherein each of the content properties is associated with content (e.g., an application, service, media object, or combinations thereof). Further, the apparatus includes selection logic for displaying the content associated with the content properties in response to selections thereof, and the content associated with each content property is displayed in a common (or reusable) display space of the interface.
In one example, as different content properties are selected, the content displayed within the display space is replaced or updated according to the associated content of the newly selected content properties. For example, the selection logic may display first content in the display space in response to a selection of a first content property, and thereafter, the selection logic may display second content in place of the first content in response to a selection of a second content property. In some examples, the selection logic may combine the first and second content in response to selections of the first and second content properties. Further, the content properties and display space may animate or move within the interface as different content properties are selected.
In some example, the interface may further include logic for accessing additional content, e.g., to launch an application or service associated with the displayed content. The interface may further display content in two or more simultaneous levels of detail or sizes, which may be user configurable.
In another aspect, a method for displaying and viewing content is provided. In one example, the method includes displaying a plurality of content properties and a display space, wherein each content property is associated with content, and displaying content associated with a selected content property in the display space in response to being selected. Further, as different content properties are selected, the content displayed within the display space is replaced according to the associated content of the newly selected content properties. Additionally, the position of the content properties and/or display space may be moved (e.g., in a shutter like response) within the interface in response to different selections of content properties.
According to another aspect, a computer program product comprising program code for a user interface is provided. The computer program product may include program code operable for displaying at least two content properties, each of the displayed content properties associated with content, and displaying content associated with the content properties in a display space in response to a selection of one of the displayed content properties In one example, the program code is further operable such that as different content properties are selected, the content displayed within the display space is replaced according to the associated content of the newly selected content properties.
The various aspects and examples of the inventions are better understood upon consideration of the detailed description below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims.
The following description is presented to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the inventions. Descriptions of specific devices, techniques, and applications are provided only as examples. Various modifications to the examples described herein will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other examples and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the examples described herein and shown, but is to be accorded the scope consistent with the claims.
In one aspect and example described herein, a content navigation user interface (or a content navigation interface element) is provided, which may be used for displaying and navigating content on or accessible via a user device. In one example, the user interface displays a plurality of content properties (also referred to as "content channels"), where each of the content properties is associated with additional content such as a service, application, or content. A content property may include an icon, text, or other indicia associated with additional content. The interface further includes a common display space that displays content associated with the content properties in response to selection of one of the content properties. A user may sequentially select different content properties to view associated content in the display space. In other examples, a user may select two (or more) of the content properties and view a combination of the content associated with the two content properties.
According to other aspects and examples, the content may be viewed in varying levels of detail. For example, a user may select from two or more levels of detail or sizes to view content. In an illustrative example, a news content property or channel may include articles viewable at a first level including a headline, a second level including the headline and the first 100 characters of the articles, and a third level including the entire content of the articles. In this fashion a user may quickly navigate and access content at the level of detail desired for different types of content. Further, a user may set various levels for various content types for future viewing.
Initially, and with reference to
Clients 22 and server 20 may communicate, e.g., via suitable communication interfaces via a network 24, such as the Internet. Clients 22 and server 20 may communicate, in part or in whole, via wireless or hardwired communications, such as Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b wireless, or the like. Additionally, communication between clients 22 and server 20 may include various servers such as a mail server, mobile server, and the like.
The server 20 includes logic or is programmed to format data, accessed from local or remote databases or other sources of data, for presentation to users of clients 22, preferably in the format discussed in detail below. The server 20 may utilize various web data interface techniques such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) protocol and associated applications (or "scripts"), Java� "servlets", i.e., Java� applications running on a web server, or the like to present information and receive input from clients 22. The server 20, although described herein in the singular, may actually comprise plural computers, devices, associated backends, and the like, communicating (wired and/or wireless) and cooperating to perform some or all of the functions described herein.
Server 20 may include or communicate with account servers (e.g., email servers), mobile servers, and the like. It is noted that an account server, accessible by a client 22, may include one or more of a personal email account on an email server (e.g., Yahoo!� Mail), a family photo album account on a photo server (e.g., Yahoo!� Photos), a Personal Information Management (PIM) account on a PIM server (e.g., Yahoo!� Address book or Yahoo!� Notepad), a music library account on a multimedia library server (e.g., Yahoo!� Music), combinations thereof, and the like.
It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that not all the components described may be required, and variations in the arrangement and type of the components may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventions.
Content properties 210 a-210 f may be associated with various services, applications, and content such as a web browser, email service or program, instant messenger service, photos (e.g., Yahoo!� Photos), weather, news, media objects, search, maps, local, sports, finance, entertainment, PIM applications, and the like stored locally or remotely. Further, media objects may include documents, articles, photos, audio files, video files, and the like. Additionally, the content may include selections or links to further content accessible by the interface and associated user device, e.g., via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), web pages, and the like stored or accessed locally or remotely.
Display space 220 generally includes a window or pane for displaying content associated with content properties 210 a-210 f when selected (e.g., a top row of three content properties 210 a-210 c, a middle display space 220, and a bottom row of three content properties 210 d-210 f). In this example, content property "A" is selected (e.g., by a user or by default when the user interface 200 is initiated) and content associated therewith is shown in display space 220. As described in greater detail below, as different content properties 210 a-210 f are selected, display space 220 is altered or updated to display content associated with the newly selected content property. Accordingly, display space 220 is referred to as "common" or "reusable" space, e.g., the area is used by all of the content properties 210 a-210 f to display content or previews of content properties 210 a-210 f.
Content properties 210 a-210 f may be selected via an input device of a client such as a keyboard or mouse, e.g., clicking or keying a particular content property 210 a-210 f. In one example, individual content properties 210 a-210 f are selected by positioning a pointer (e.g., an arrow or other graphic associated with a user device) over the content properties 210 a-210 f, and without requiring further input, e.g., clicking a mouse. A user may therefore move a pointer over different properties 210 a-210 f to view previews and content associated with each.
A user may access content associated with content properties 210 a-210 f by selecting individual content properties (e.g., by highlighting or otherwise selecting one of the content properties 210 a-210 f). In one example, a content property 210 a-210 f is selected and content associated therewith displayed in display space 220 when a pointer is over the content property 210 a-210 f. In other examples, the selection is made when the pointer is over the preview content property 210 a-210 f and additional input is made (e.g., hitting a key or mouse button). In other examples selections are made via drag-and-drop operations.
It should be understood that content properties 210 a-210 f may be highlighted or marked in various fashions, e.g., bolded, enlarged, colored more vividly, varying background or border, or the like. In other examples, an indicator, such as an arrow or slider, may be positioned adjacent a content property to indicate its status. In other examples, a selected content property 210 a-210 f is not highlighted; however, content displayed in display space 220 will make the selection of a particular content property 210 a-210 f apparent. Additionally, the interface may cycle through additional content options.
Content properties 210 a-210 f may include any user-identifiable indicia displayed within user interface 200. For example, icons and/or text may be used. Additionally, the display of the content property (e.g., including icons and/or text) may be user configurable or configured by the device/application. For example, user interface 200 may be initially populated with default content properties and content property images, such as an icon for mail, instant messenger, maps, and the like. In other examples, a user may add or configure icons (e.g., by downloading from a server or uploading from another device). For example, a user may add an icon and/or text associated with a particular website, application, etc. Additionally, the appearance of individual content properties 210 a-210 f may be changed or altered by the user, e.g., to include a photo image, emoticon, text, and the like.
In these examples, content properties 210 a-210 f are illustrated horizontally above and below display space 220, however, other arrangements are possible. For example, content properties 210 a-210 f may be displayed on one side of display space 220. In other examples, similar vertical arrangements of content properties 210 a-210 f may be used on one or both sides of display space 220. Additionally, in yet other examples, content properties may be arranged both vertically and horizontally, at corners of a user interface around a rectangular display space, circularly around a circular display space, and the like. Further, any plurality of content properties 210 a-210 f displayed within user interface are contemplated.
Additionally, an advertisement 290 is illustrated, which may be included with interface 200 as shown, embedded within display space 220, or otherwise associated with user interface 200 (e.g., as a separate window). The selection of advertisement 290 may be based on various factors, including, but not limited to, user profile information, user history information (e.g., search or viewing history of a user), the display of content properties 210 a-210 f in user interface 200, a content property that has been selected, combinations thereof, and the like. Further, it should be understood that advertisement 290 may change over time, e.g., in response to user inputs and manipulation of interface 200.
In one example, user interface 200, whether as a stand alone interface or an element of a larger interface or web browser page, may be accessible by a user via an online account such as an email account. For example, a user may login to an account server, and user interface 200 may be included in a "home" page or otherwise displayed in response to a user login. Further, the user interface 200 may include or be part of one or more widgets. In these and other fashions, an individual user may access user interface 200 from multiple client devices; for example, user interface 200 may be served from a computer server to a user accessing the server from various devices such as a personal computer, work computer, mobile computer device such as a phone, and the like. In other examples, of course, user interface 200 may be included as an application program running on a computer device.
Further, and in one example, in response to a user selecting content property 210 d (e.g., "D") as illustrated in
In other examples, the upper row of content properties 210 a-210 c could move down and adjacent the lower row of content properties 210 d-210 f in a similar fashion. In yet other examples, user interface 200 may include a third row of content properties, the content properties 210 d-f and display space 220 moving similar to the row of content properties 210 d-f as described above to display associated content when selected.
In this illustrative example, content property 410 a corresponds to an electronic mail program (e.g., Yahoo!� mail, Hotmail�, or the like). In response to selection of content property 410 a, display space 420 shows additional content, e.g., a preview of new emails including the identity of the sender, and the subject line. In other examples, display space 420 may include more content than display 420 allows, and include a scroll bar to view additional content that does not fit within display space 420.
A user may access individual emails directly through display space 420, e.g., by selecting the displayed emails within display space 420. Selecting a displayed email may cause an access to the individual email within display space 420 or new window or pane 402 (e.g., as shown in
In other illustrative examples shown in
Additionally, other content properties corresponding to services or applications such as music, weather, news, local, maps, etc., may display selected content in display space 420. The selected content properties 410 a-410 f may be user selected or based on user profiles, user history, user input (e.g., bookmarks, favorites, etc.). Additionally, in systems that may display varying levels of detail of content (e.g., from very broad to very specific or from small to large), the level of detail of content displayed in response to selections of content properties 410 a-410 f may be user selected as described, via user input, profile, history, and the like.
The assigned content properties are displayed within a user interface at 520. In one example, the content properties are displayed adjacent a display space, operable for displaying content associated with the content property. As described, the content properties may be displayed in one of a variety of user-selected varying sizes. Further, a user may select different levels of detail for the display of the content properties.
Content and/or functionality associated with a content property is displayed in the display space in response to a user selection at 530. The content displayed is generally of a greater level of detail than the level of detail of the content property. A user may select different content properties and reuse the display space to view different associated content therein. Further, in response to some selections of the content properties, the content properties may move or shift within the display.
Additional content and/or functionality associated with the content property and displayed content may be accessed or viewed at 540. For example, by selecting the content in the display space (or otherwise selecting) additional content and/or functionality may become available either in the original display space or a new window or display. Additionally, in some examples, a user may select two or more content properties to be commonly displayed. The content associated therewith may be combined in various fashions, including, e.g., layering within a common window, interleaving content, or creating new content associated characteristics of each of the original content properties and associated content.
The various aspects and examples of the inventions can be implemented in any suitable form including hardware, software, firmware or any combination of these. Different aspects of the invention may be implemented at least partly as computer software or firmware running on one or more data processors and/or digital signal processors. The elements and components of an embodiment of the invention may be physically, functionally and logically implemented in any suitable way. Indeed the functionality may be implemented in a single unit, in a plurality of units or as part of other functional units. As such, the invention may be implemented in a single unit or may be physically and functionally distributed between different units and processors.
Although the present invention has been described in connection with some embodiments, it is not intended to be limited to the specific form set forth herein. Rather, the scope of the present invention is limited only by the claims. Additionally, although a feature may appear to be described in connection with a particular embodiment, one skilled in the art would recognize that various features of the described embodiments may be combined in accordance with the invention. Moreover, aspects of the invention describe in connection with an embodiment may stand alone as an invention.
Moreover, it will be appreciated that various modifications and alterations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The invention is not to be limited by the foregoing illustrative details, but is to be defined according to the claims.

This blank detail specification forms the basis for a uniform procedure for a common International Safety Mark. It implements the approval schedule for safety tests in IEC 60384-14, requires a declaration of design for parameters relevant to safety and prescribes conformance tests to be conducted on every lot prior to its release and requalification tests depending on changes to the declared design. In comparison with IEC 60384-14-1 which provides quality conformance and safety tests, this specification offers the assessment level DZ (zero defects). The use of IEC 60384-14-1 may be more appropriate for components manufactured in mass production, whereas the employment of this specification may be necessary in those cases where approval and requalification tests contribute considerably to the costs of the product. A blank detail specification is a supplementary document to the sectional specification and contains requirements for style, layout and minimum content of detail specifications. Detail specifications not complying with these requirements may not be considered as being in accordance with IEC specifications, nor shall they so be described.

What is this thing called "Insight"?
So much has been written about the definition of an insight, it's difficult to imagine saying something original or (couldn't resist this) insightful.
However, it's arguably the most important output of any MR project – every MROC, every algorithm, every text analytics program needs to generate insights.
So – here's my very simple take:
1. An insight is invariably below the surface. It isn't immediately visible or apparent.
2. An insight isn't already common knowledge or part of prevailing wisdom
3. An insight leads to a new opportunity or growth potential that can be effectively exploited.
Examples of insights:
Coffee marketing discovered that the smell of coffee was the most important factor even though you drink coffee, it's not a perfume. This lead to a focus on the celebration of aroma.
Washing up liquid: the focus on the sparkle of glasses (wine glasses) came from the insight that you can most clearly and easily see with glass if it's really clean or not. It's about light, not dirt.
Are Market Researchers good at uncovering Insights? We all know about fulfilling a brief – hitting the objectives.
I'd say that almost every project I've ever worked on in market research has uncovered an insight that actually wasn't in the brief – road-side stuff, so to speak.
Maybe we should consider documenting not just what was asked for in a brief, but point out side-insights that weren't expected.
Curious, as ever, as to others' views.
17 Responses to "What is this thing called "Insight"?"
August 20th, 2012 at 10:30 am
I'd estimate that half of what I do is validate hypotheses, and the other half is screwing up people's hypotheses. Little "insight" is yielded from the first group.
August 20th, 2012 at 12:45 pm
Question from a marketing research student: Do insights come more easily from qualitative research? The examples you listed sound like things gained from personal interviews or focus groups.
August 20th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Jason – without wishing to either ignore your sense of humour or be provocative, where's the value add in the pure validation of hypotheses? Nothing wrong with the process, just wonder to what extent there's enough oxygen in that neck of the woods?
Ben – two answers: i) no, insights can come from all types and manners of research – it's the critical eye and mind that counts ii) I think that you can learn massively by talking, listening, observing – so qualitative in a sense. But that would encompass eg ethnography, MROCs, co-creation, triads….there's a lot. Starting with the intuitive is often useful, especially in an age where the data river is in danger of becoming a deluge – more data than insights.
August 20th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
@Edward: to your point, there's a lot less value in the "validation" work. I put things like customer satisfaction feedback and market modeling in this category (at least around here). The truly creative / destructive stuff happens less frequently but are much larger projects.
August 20th, 2012 at 11:33 pm
Insight might also lead to avoid risk or threat and necessarily lead to more growth potential. Insight becomes more powerful when it is a result of inter/correlate two sets of data points and not only one output.
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:14 pm
In my job I find two aspects are key about insight:
1. Actionability (what is the point of ground braking insight if you cannot change the status quo as a result?)
2. The discipline used in seeking and providing the insight (if you are trusted to provide consistently accurate and relevant insight you are the one I know I can rely on).
Following these simple rules you can become you client favourite person which brings a whole lotta satisfaction with it.
August 24th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
dear friends I'm learning a lot from your comments to the Appleton post. I used this definition of "insight": a simple piece of true knowledge, unexpected ( = surprising), actionable.
I liked this definition because it calls for four different professions: the scientist (true knowledge), the miner (a small piece of), the journalist (unexpected) and the manager (actionable). All these competences are spread in four quite different professions. But a fifth one (marketing researcher) should include all. Great!
August 27th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Insight is the value that market researchers add. To Edward Appleton's three definitions of insight, I would add a fourth point. Insights come from connecting dots that others have failed to connect. Then, the researcher's challenge is persuading the client to accept the insights.
September 3rd, 2012 at 11:39 pm
[…] What is this thing called "insight"? – Edward Appleton describes an insight as having three characteristics: "1. An insight is invariably below the surface. It isn't immediately visible or apparent. 2. An insight isn't already common knowledge or part of prevailing wisdom. 3. An insight leads to a new opportunity or growth potential that can be effectively exploited." […]
September 5th, 2012 at 5:05 am
I like Ruth's addition to Edward's definition. I seek to uncover insights by studying data that exists already and/or by creating new data. For me the real value add comes from collating and interpreting this data in ways that my clients/colleagues couldn't do for themselves and by identifying the best ways they can use it to achieve their business objectives. Insight doesn't have to be big or game changing but it does have to win hearts and minds and inspire action within client organisations. This is easy to say but hard to do, which is why much great research just sits on the metaphorical shelf.
September 5th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
I have thought about insight in a similar way to Ruth. It is the discovery of something you already knew. A bit Socratic, I suppose. But the idea is that a valuable insight reveals, pulls back the curtain from an observation that seems obvious once it is pointed out. Good insights ring true the moment you hear them. Ed's examples illustrate this point.
September 6th, 2012 at 4:51 am
There's a couple of concepts passing by in the discussion, like insights, hypothesis testing and actionability.
I would say that you have hypothesis testing on the one hand (with very predictable type of outcome) always leading to actionable recommendations.
And you have insights on the other hand (which are unpredictable by nature), which cannot always be made actionable in the short run but may become actionable in the long run.
September 8th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
I have been an analyst (market, business & competitive) for about 15 years. When I first became a business analyst, a senior director post me this question – Would you be able to tell me something I didn't know?
A very broad base question – looking for a new piece of information, a new perspective, or an insight?
There is a lot of data & information available, some not so readily available. Nonetheless, it's the analysis and how we peice these together like a jigsaw puzzle, providing a picture or even story line as an output that matters.
Anyway, I'm an advocate of the need to integrate market, business and competitive intelligence to provide the so-called insights that you're referring to.
I've also written an article, Redefining Competition, which looks at how we need to define competition in the modern day business model, which has eveolved.
This is an interesting topic and could arouse lots of debate and discussion.
September 8th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
I've posted the Redefining Competition per the attached link, if anyone is interested in such a discussion.
September 8th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
September 9th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I would add one more point to the definition – a powerful insight contains an element of emotion
