Your Guide to Essential Nutrients for Diabetics & The Best Food Sources of Vitamins and Minerals
There are no less than 30 identified vitamins and minerals. With new ones constantly discovered, it's almost impossible to keep up. But not all vitamins and minerals are essential for diabetics.
Nonetheless, we need most of the 30 vitamins and minerals to reach optimal health. So which vitamins and minerals are essential for diabetics? Read on to find out!
This is a big page, so here's what you'll find in order:
- Diabetes vitamins and their sources
- Diabetes minerals and their sources
- EU Values for RDAs of Essential Vitamins and Minerals
- The importance of Enzymes and their role
- Why meeting your GDA/RDA is impossible without supplements
- Why you shouldn't buy vitamins and minerals from the High Street
Here are some important nutrients for diabetics:
Essential Vitamins for Diabetics:
Vitamins Supplements image uploaded to flickr by SOCIALisBETTER
Vitamin A – Protects the lining of the digestive system. Also vital for growth and night vision.
Found In – Liver (not a good source during pregnancy), Egg yolks & dairy products (esp. cheese)
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) – vital for muscles and heart function.
Found In – Wholegrains, eggs, beans, nuts and pork.
Vitamins B1 B2 B6 & B12 And Patothenic Acid also supports our enzyme functions. Enzymes are needed to break down food and trigger energy release. These are vital for diabetics let alone anyone overweight.
Found In – Animal Produce (dairy and meaty) & Wholewheat Grains.
Niacin – Metabolises carbs and fat and supports our digestive system. Vital for diabetics
Found In – Oily fish, White meat of poultry, liver, beans and nuts.
Biotin – Essential for digestion. Also triggers our enzymes.
Found In – Beans, grapefruit, bananas, mushrooms (perfect in combination with many meals) and egg yolks.
Essential Minerals for Diabetics:
Iron – Essential to create energy and transport blood around the body. Click here to learn more about iron, iron rich foods and iron deficiency
Sodium (Found in salt, but don't have too much) and Potassium – Regulates and maintains water balance.
Potassium is found In – Avocados, citric fruit, bananas, green leafy veg, Wholegrains and pulses. Learn the best way to maintain your water balance and drink water, here.
Zinc – Essential for growth and repair. Like the B vitamins, it supports our enzymes.
Found In – Oysters, red meat, beans and wholegrains.
Manganese – Triggers enzymes that release energy.
Found In – Pulses, nuts and some cereals.
Calcium – Essential for strong bones and regulates our muscles.
Found In – Dairy Products (including the dairy queen), Tofu and some nuts.

Are there any other non-food sources of vitamins and minerals?
Yes, there are. You may occasionally come accross some antibiotics that contain essential vitamins and minerals to help cure certain symptoms.
You can learn a little more about antibiotics here.
EU Values for RDAs of Essential Nutrients

Why have enzymes come up so often?
Enzymes are essential to break down the food in our bodies but – more importantly for diabetics – they help to control your blood sugar levels by steadying the energy released from your food.
Whenever there's an opportunity to help control your blood sugar levels, you should take it as it can give you more freedom with your daily lifestyle.
So I have included most of the vitamins and minerals that support the enzymes in your body.
Why should I care about Enzymes?
Because if you can steady the energy release from the foods you eat, you can steady their sugar release, helping you control your blood sugar levels.
That's why the vitamins and minerals listed above – in particular the enzyme supporters – are so important for diabetics. But that's not the only benefit of enzymes!
Enzymes can also be found in marinades to tenderize the tougher cuts of meat. So not only will enzymes help you to digest your food, they'll also make it taste that much better. To learn more about using enzymes to tenderise meat click here.
Surely you can't expect me to eat all of these vitamins and minerals from food sources alone?
Truthfully? No, I can't. In fact, it is almost impossible! You would need to eat like an elephant just to get your RDA (Reccomended daily allowance) of these nutrients.
Here, I'll show you how difficult it is to get your RDA of nutrients from food sources alone…
Let's take Vitamin E as an example. Vitamin E:
- Protects our lungs and tissues
- Maintains the level of red blood cells in our body
- And (yet again) supports our enzyme functions
To get the recommended 400 IU (International Units) of Vitamin E, you would need to eat:
- Almost 14 cups of fortified Wheat germ (a grain)
- Over 3.5 cups of safflower oil
- 7.5 cups of roasted almonds
- 72.5 cups of boiled, drained, unsalted spinach!
That is INSANE! I love spinach but I couldn't eat 72.5 cups of it, every day!.
What's more, these figures don't take into account the amount you will actually absorb. So really, you'd needa bit more!
Clearly it is not viable to stuff yourself silly just to get some extra nutrients in your body. Can you imagine how much food you'd have to eat to balance your diet!
Fruit and veg only accounts for 33%!
So what's the solution to gaining these nutrients?
Buy vitamins and minerals (AKA nutritional supplements).
Never touched nutritional supplements? Take this into consideration:
Our diets and lifestyle changes make it increasingly difficult to only eat healthy foods.
One day could be very calm,making it easy to eat a healthy, balanced diet, and the next, you're running about like a Yo-Yo.
Sometimes, when you need it most, you don't get the essential nutrients. If this happens too often, you can feel fatigued, lose concentration or catch a cold.
If this happens too often, your body will get weaker, you will agequicker and when you look at yourself, you'll probably feel even worse.
Nutritional supplements help keep you at optimum health, keeping you at your best, long-term.
Why should I buy vitamins and minerals if I don't know what to choose?
You probably shouldn't! That may even be why you don't take supplements. In all fairness, it's a worldwide problem but that's not the worst of it!
Don't buy cheap nutritional supplements!
The quality of many vitamins and minerals is questionable, particularly the nutritional supplements found on the high street.
High Street Nutritional Supplements image uploaded to flickr by Clean Wal-Mart
I used to buy vitamins and minerals on the high street every month. They were cheap and had the nutrients that I wanted.
Or so I thought.
In a recentstudy, over half (54%) of the nutritional supplements that researchers tested did not disintegrate properly.
Quote: J.Pharm Pharmaceut Sci (www.cspsCanada.org) 9(1):40-49
Disintegration is a basic quality indicator. Most of these supplements would be pointless to buy. And most of them are found on the high street!
If a tablet does not disintegrate, many nutrients in the tablet will be trapped. It won't be digested. It'll literally go in one end and out the other.
What's the problem with buying high street nutritional supplements?
- Minimal/Slow Disintegration – A key quality indicator as mentioned above.
- Ineffective absorption – This happens when the nutrient can't pass effectively through our digestive walls and into our bloodstream
- Poor potency per dose/tablet – This is an important point that i'll cover below.
What is Poor Potency?
In Chemistry, Potency is a measure of the concentration of a drug. In other words potency is how much of a nutrient is found in a drug/tablet/dose.
When the potency of a tablet is poor, you won't get enough of that nutrient in your body. Now if you combine that with the points above:
- The amount of nutrients in the tablets won't be enough for optimal health,
- Even if the are, most of it may be trapped in the tablet due to poor disintegration,
- And even if they do disintegrate they probably won't effectively, go into our bloodstream!
So they may be cheap but they are poor value for money. Perhaps even a waste of money!
So what nutritional supplements should I buy?
There are two main types of nutrients.
- The essentials – The vitamins and minerals that are vital for our bodies
- And the optimisers – The nutrients that we can live without but are very beneficial, like CoQ10 (that's an enzyme too)!
I can supply both. These supplemental vitamins and minerals are rated worldwide, in many magazines, by many doctors and many companies. Even Olympic athletes take these nutritional supplements. And they don't take supplements lightly!

Why can't I buy vitamins and minerals from the high street?
High Street Multivitamins Supplements image uploaded to flickr by aluzano
Well, you could but the typical ones aren't great. The sources of the vitamins and minerals are of low quality. Not forgeting the absporption issues I talked about earlier (where i talked about the research on disintegration).
There is so much more you should consider before buying supplements from the shops. So don't buy vitamins and minerals willy nilly! Don't be seduced by the SpOffs (Special Offers). Contact me for more details.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The opposition Bloc Quebecois will vote against the minority Conservative government's budget, leader Gilles Duceppe told reporters on Tuesday.
If all three opposition parties vote against the budget, an election will be triggered. The separatist Bloc had already signaled it was unlikely to support it, and the left-leaning New Democrats were seen as the most likely prospect for supporting the budget.
The Bloc said the budget does not include enough for Quebec, but Duceppe declined to say if he would support a non-confidence measure against the government

February 8 Birthday Horoscope
People born specifically on the 8th of February are believed to be highly conceptual and perceptive alongside all that typical Aquarian self sufficiency. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is Saturn making you careful, conscientious and gifted with a strong sixth sense. If you have this birthday you will be resourceful and hard working with lots of persevering determination. Your ambitious nature is rarely selfish as you are usually driven by a dutiful need to do something meaningful with your life. You have an enterprising spirit and a modern outlook as well as the ability to stay cool under pressure. Your intuitive side keeps you alert to opportunities and gives you a mind full of good ideas. Individuals with a February the eighth birthday are often deep in their own thought and more reserved and considerate than most water bearers. You are also moralistically loyal to family and friends and can be extremely disappointed if let down.
February 8 Zodiac Sign - Aquarius
Being an Aquarius born on February 8th, your personality is characterized by imagination and honesty. You have a very active mind, which allows you to see possibilities that others fail to imagine. In demanding situations, this quality allows you to be an effective problem solver. Socially, your wit and intriguing communication has made you a highly sought after companion. While your friends and family appreciate your imagination, they may admire your honest nature the most. In all your dealings, social and professional, you value truthfulness and straightforwardness above all else.
February 8 Birthday Element - Air
Air is the paired element of your sign and of all the zodiac signs, you have the only fixed connection with the element. As is the case with all air signs, your elemental influence creates a gentle breeze of curiosity that stirs within your mind. When you find a new interest or topic, air pushes you to explore it and gain understanding. Unlike other air signs, your special connection with the element gives your personality a stubborn and determined quality. Embracing air's active qualities will play a key role in your future successes. You should however, be aware of the negative qualities of stagnant air, which may create moods of aloofness and emotional distance.
February 8 Ruling Planet - Uranus
Uranus is the planetary ruler of your sign, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the Aquarius sign, you also receive a generous helping of Mercury's planetary power. While Uranus, the planet of deviation, is responsible for your originality and appreciation of freedom, it is Mercury's mysterious power that fuels your gifts for communication and mental agility. Your unique combination of planetary influences makes you the most natural communicator of all the Aquarius Decans. It is also gives you the rare ability to give your mind power of your emotions to make logical and thoughtful decisions. In competitive situations, your quick mind puts you two steps ahead of the competition at all times, but it also makes you dissatisfied when your vision does not line up with the slow pace of reality. In love, find a partner that helps your patience grow and shares in your value of honesty.
February 8 Aquarius Personality
A certain spookiness is evident in the personality of Aquarians born on February 8. They have a powerful life-force, with evidence of psychic awareness. Although they may appear almost sphinxlike in their emotional isolation, they are intense. Before they can use their talents and gifts, they must master - and understand - their personal power.
Strengths & Weaknesses
The main strengths in your character are in your instinctive somewhat visionary optimism and the way you pay fine attention to detail. These qualities and your determined and well focused stance are excellent for management positions or the running of a small business. Weaknesses in the personality probable for those born on February 8th are more often than not based on your inability to talk freely about your feelings. Your passiveness can hold you back but it is one weakness that can be improved upon. Another negative trait is your likelihood to be very patronizing in the heat of an argument.
People born on February 8 are generous and witty and involve themselves in humanitarian activities of some kind, whether it is something bigger or just doing something for their community or friends. They are charming and exert some sort of attraction for those who meet them the first time and they are very aware of that and try to play their cards right from the beginning. They avoid practical activities and getting stuck in a routine and if possible they would live in a dream like world.
Positive traits: Loyal and pleasing personalities, they are curious and introspective persons, genuinely interested and careful to how they live their lives. Aquarius people are usually considerate about their peers and possess a visionary approach to life. Those born under this sign are also dependable and show original in all their endeavors.
Negative traits: Opening their heart to vent in order not to accumulate annoyance is one thing Aquarius needs to learn. They need to understand they need moral help just like everybody else and they sure have someone honorable to discuss to. Those born on this day are surprising and quite sarcastic. They are sometimes hesitant, but the worst part they can be real malevolent if they consider someone has hurt their emotions or disconcerted them in any way. They are also rebellious up to the point of extremism and usually for no particular good reason.
Love & Relationships
For an Aquarius, the person born on the eighth day of February is quite untypically straightforward and open in their approach to romance matters. You do not generally try to hide your emotional coolness or indifferent attitude and just expect others to be able to see beyond it. Your aloofness and independence make you sometimes appear totally unemotional but this is highly deceptive, as you care and do so deeply. In a long term relationship you will express your love by being totally devoted and a practical manner rather than overly demonstrative or romantic with your emotions. When looking for a soul mate to spend your life with you seek someone who truly understands you and are not prepared to settle for anything less. A lot of reassurance from a partner and the test of time could be needed before the readiness to commit stage is reached.
Lovers born on February 8 are extremely attractive and charming. They always have their words, but imagine when this eloquence is combined with passion. They are attracted to people who can accept their eccentricities and keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Aquarius if you master the art of revealing who you are step by step so they never get bored. When they are single they act just about the same as when they are in a relationship, they seem to have no restrictions and just live their life at its fullest.
Usually imaginative and pleasant persons, when in love they become unpredictable and hard to understand. If their loved one is patient and honest they are likely to open to them and their love will progress fast. They are friendly but reserved and their attitude won't bring many people close to them. They are persistent and courageous in a practical way so they will be a great part of their family team once they decide to settle for their loved one. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 4th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 22th, 26th, 28th and 31st.
February 8 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other air signs: Gemini and Libra as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aquarius is in a permanent search for someone capable of understanding their adventurous and curious nature and the most suitable to offer them this is another native born under Aquarius. The lover in Aquarius is said to be least compatible with Scorpio. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Aquarius, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Career & Finances
Difficulty choosing work options may be an issue to a person born on the eighth of February as you do not enjoy tediously dull routines. You will need to feel that a job is interesting, worthwhile for the welfare of others and also financially rewarding enough. This is a tall order so it could take you a while to decide on a career path. Concerning finances you are appreciative of the status value that money gives you so you are likely to be prudent with it. You are normally able to easily manage large investments like the buying of your home as your proficiency with budgeting seems to come naturally.
Health & Wellness
Any ill health experienced by those born on February 8th is probably not due to your lack of interest in the subject. You are known to make a point of reading and keeping up to date with the latest scientific advances and advice about the body. People born on this day seem to prefer a natural lifestyle and diet and understand its importance in an attempt to maintain healthiness. Although they may be prone to relax these preferences in the company of others. You also have a tendency to turn to quick remedies for minor reoccuring ailments like headaches instead of investigating their possible cause.
Dreams & Goals
Being born on the 8th of February makes you a little indecisive of the general direction you want to go in life. You have the talents to choose from an abundance of paths and usually use instinct to guide you, despite not trusting it completely. You may have a rough plan of your preferred route any goals you do set will be unlikely to be definite aims. As you feel duty bound to help others the chance to do this significantly is occasionally envisaged conceptually in your dreams. It is rare for you to dream of things for yourself except for your greatest secret wish for the perfect partner.
Luck & Significance
As you were born on the eighth day of the month your date of birth identifies your Root number as Eight. This special numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword "Leader" and possibly highlights your inspirational and optimistic presence. In the Major Arcana deck the Tarot card most associated with your birthday is the 8th, illustrating Courage. This connection emphasizes your high moral standards and levels of motivation. The lucky gemstone for February the eighth birthdays is the Black Pearl. Wearing it is assumed to enhance positive vibes, promote confidence and increase wealth.
Summation for Aquarius born on February 8
All Aquarian personalities with December or January dates of birth are thought to acquire their traits from the astrological rays of Uranus. The actual day you were born, the eighth of February is additionally influenced by the planet Saturn's dominance endowing you with your extra diligent intellect. The joint influences of these 2 planets commingle to create the combination of characteristics that define your personality uniqueness. Your resourcefulness and adaptability help you fit into most environments quite easily while your youthful frame of mind helps you retain a sanguine temperament. A couple of concluding thoughts for people born on February the 8th are to cultivate your intuitiveness and consider the hypothesis that closeness takes two.

"Barbara Bennett is a pioneer in educating adult students with disabilities and is a leader in her field," said SCE Provost Valentina Purtell. "Barbara wrote original curricula for her courses and has led hundreds of students through graduation from our programs into transition opportunities such as working, living independently, and going to college," continued Purtell.
According to OCDE, the Orange County Teachers of the Year (TOTY) program provides recognition for outstanding K-12 and community college teachers in Orange County. Each school district may nominate one to three teachers (depending on district size). Each community college may nominate one teacher per accredited college. Selected winners are honored with a "golden apple" award and will be recognized at the annual banquet, held this year on October 24, 2017 at the Disneyland Hotel by the premier sponsor, SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union.
"These educators have risen to the top," said OCDE Superintendent Al Mijares, who surprised Bennett with her golden apple trophy presentation on Tuesday in front of her students. SCE's leadership team and NOCCCD Chancellor Dr. Cheryl Marshall also joined in on the surprise visit.

Baltimore Trash Talk Rivers of Recycling - Artscape, Park & Colleges
The images in this project are from 5 different installations involving recycling, litter and pollution. I began creating these installations after launching Baltimore Trash Talk - an Anti-Litter initiative. These Rivers of Recycling have served to raise awareness of how much we litter, of our consumption of one-use/plastic items and our need for legislation and education regarding these issues.
The first two Rivers were planned, marketed and executed solely by myself and the data collected was used to testify in front of the House and Senate in Annapolis in support of Bottle Deposit Legislation (take your bottle back to a store, get 5 cents back per bottle).
The third River was installed at Artscape. Flags and river planning by BTT(myself). River wasexecuted with the help of Clean Corps and BOPA volunteers.
The fourth River took place at Johns Hopkins University as part of a thesis exhibition for MICA curatorial grad, Christopher Beer. See project pictures for further details/description.
The fifth river took place at Loyola University. See project picture Digital Collage of a scanned deer skull.

Wireless NIC "disappears" after software update...
So I've installed Ubuntu Dapper on a P3 1 gHz Dell box, 256 ram, 160GB drive. The sole purpose for this machine is to run Slimserver. (at least for now)
I installed Dapper via a CD, everything went fine. I have a new D-Link 802.11g NIC that seems to be supported by the kernel. Ubuntu recognizes it just fine, and I'm able to put in my WEP key and start surfing/emailing without issue.
So after my clean install and WEP-key setup, the next step is I update my /apt/sources.list file (via the GUI in Ubuntu) and check the LTS Updates and LTS Security Updates (both binary). I DON'T check any of the "universe" packages, only those that say "Officially Supported". After closing this window, it tells my software is out of date and I allow it to upgrade. It's about 190 meg download, so I come back an hour later and it said everything was upgraded successfully.
Now, after a reboot, I notice I have no internet connection. I go into System --> administration --> networking to discover that my Wireless NIC (ath1) is completely gone from the Connections tab! Only "Ethernet Connection" and "Modem Connection" remain. What the heck happened??
I tried rebooting, re-seating the NIC, etc, but nothing helps. I briefly looked through dmesg but I didn't see anything that jumped out at me. It's almost like the wireless NIC has been totally uninstalled/removed. If I type "ifconfig" from the command line it only lists eth1 (ethernet NIC) and the loopback. However, if I go into System --> administration --> device manager, it still shows the NIC in the list of devices.
After all of this happened, I ended up grabbing the Ubuntu install CD and blew-away my system and re-installed. I followed the same steps as before, and hit the SAME PROBLEM. After doing a big software update, the wireless card disappears.
So I guess one option is to not install any updates, but that's not a viable solution. Does anyone have any ideas or things to try troubleshooting? I'm hesitant to spend the time re-installing Ubuntu for the third time without first having some idea of what's going on.
Wireless NIC "disappears" after software update...
I had the same problem after updating from Breezy to Dapper. Seems there's an ongoing issue. I'm using a linksys WPC54G wireless card and have to use ndiswrapper. I tried reloading ndiswrapper using the same files on the same usb stick but it wouldn't work until I used the original linksys CD.
You might try running wifi-radar. I've had good luck running it in a laptop with Broadcom chips that required ndiswrapper. I had strange problems after my first reboot when I was using gnome-network-manager. Ultimately after much trial and error I replaced gnome nm with wifi-radar and all works well now. The network monitor applet was helpful in seeing what was happening and I placed an icon for wifi-radar next to it in the applet bar.
I did the same thing and got the same problem... Whats the solution?
Check System-> Preferences-> Sessions-> Startup-Programs tab to see if you have "gnome-nm". If you do, disable it.
ddibbz, did you try this and did it fix the problem for you?
Thanks everyone!
It might have been installed when you followed one of the many HOWTO's for getting WiFi to work. If it isn't there, all the better.
I am having a similar problem installing Edgy on a Gateway MX6447 laptop. After the basic OS installation, the wireless card (Broadcom) shows up in the network connections utility (KDE). After installing ndiswrapper and drivers, the card disappears.
Is there a configuration file somewhere that is preventing the wireless card from being detected after ndiswrapper is installed? Uninstalling it doesn't restore detection of the card.
There's more than one Broadcom chipset. lspci will tell you which chipset you have. I would have thought if you could see the wifi device the drivers were already installed. Perhaps in the ndiswrapper install sequence you created a blacklist entry for the Ubuntu driver which now needs to be removed.
Thanks in advance!!
I suggest to run Synaptic and insure that the universe and multiverse repositories are selected. Do a search in Synaptic for wifi-radar and install to see. A lot of 32 bit applications run with a 64 bit kernel, for example openoffice. Many 32 bit applications will inform you if they won't run properly on a 64 bit machine. I think it will work since its not kernel level code. If it doesn't, un-install and there should be nothing lost. I ran it on a 64 bit machine with a 32 bit kernel.
Ndiswrapper includes both the ndiswrapper command and an ndiswrapper kernel module.
If your kernel was updated, you might not have the ndiswrapper.ko module in the current kernel module tree. Take a look and see if you can find it.
You could make a new kernel module from the source. I keep the source around and generate a new one whenever I update the kernel.
Same problem Different Twist
The problem I have had is that I installed ubuntu. wireless worked perfectly right off the bat. roomates mac didn't work. my xp and linux pcs did not have a problem with adding wpa to the wireless. I installed all the updates just fine. After a few days of running ubuntu the wireless disappears exactly the same as everyone else. No updates though. Even worse, I reinstalled ubuntu twice thinking it worked when I first installed it so a reinstall should fix it. I don't know what happened but not even a reinstall fixed it. I don't know if ubuntu took setting off the old install and applied them to the new but it seems kind of strange. The reinstall should have done the trick. This happened after I found out ubuntu doesn't support by mx 310 printer so my dreams of a printer server were dashed. Almost makes me want to forgo linux completely. It's certainly more stable, but stability is worthless absent usability.

Ivan Kotlyarevsky, Kotlyarevsky also spelled Kotliarevsky (born Sept. 9 [Aug. 29, old style], 1769, Poltava, Ukraine, Russian Empire—died Nov. 10 [Oct. 29, O.S.], 1838, Poltava), author whose burlesque-travesty of Virgil's Aeneid was the first work written wholly in the Ukrainian language; it distinguished him as the father of modern Ukrainian literature. The Eneida (1798) transmutes Aeneas and the Trojans into dispossessed Cossacks of the period after the suppression of the Zaporizhska Sich (Cossack territory) in 1775. The work brings together valuable materials not only from the vernacular but also from various distinctive idioms; e.g., those of seminarians, wanderers, and thieves. Kotlyarevsky held a position in Poltava's bureaucracy and also wrote several plays that still form a part of the classic Ukrainian repertoire.

The City of New York is home to more than 8 million people and covers an area of 305 square miles, making it the most densely populated city in the United States. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administers the City's water supply for the five boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx.
The DEP manages more than 1.1 billion gallons of water per day through a network of 19 reservoirs, three controlled lakes and 6,200 miles of water pipes, tunnels and aqueducts. It has made water conservation a top priority, since a severe drought in 1985 left the City's reservoirs at dangerously low levels. To promote more efficient water use, the DEP needed to install an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) transmitter and an updated water meter in more than 830,000 homes and businesses. Challenges included large-scale project planning and implementation, technical interference from high-rise buildings, access issues and a customer base that spoke more than 800 different languages. The project also needed to be completed within three years and stay on budget.
Corix Utilities was selected to install approximately 174,000 AMI transmitters and water meters. To maximize project success, Corix utilized its experienced management team and proven processes along with a locally trained field workforce familiar with the unique challenges of the area. It also leveraged the expertise of the Corix Call Center, which handled incoming and outgoing calls, provided customer information, scheduled appointments and made courtesy calls to guarantee performance and customer satisfaction. With the help of the Call Center, Corix installers were able to obtain indoor access to each household, completing installation of over 99% of all meters, while generating positive customer feedback. Additionally, language was never a barrier thanks to Corix's interpreter service, which was available to both the Call Center and field installers.
Corix's seamless project coordination contributed to a high customer satisfaction rating, quick response rate to customer issues and top marks from the DEP. Today, New York City's AMI system enables customers to access the information they need to reduce their water usage and save money. It also provides the DEP with more accurate billing and the ability to detect potentially expensive leaks. Even with only modest water reduction from the population, the DEP estimates the City could save more than $90 million annually, in addition to the $3 million saved through the elimination of a meter reading contract.

Derek Webb Announces New Album Details
By Tim Zila On December 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In Culture
If you're looking for info about Stockholm Syndrome's release delays, click here to read our latest update.
Derek Webb announced a tentative May 2009 release date for his titled new album, Stockholm Syndrome. In an email sent out today, he teases the new record as a "more experimental, electronic album" (which the direction of his wife Sandra McCraken's latest album, Red Balloon, seems to confirm).
Webb is an odd animal of Christian music – he's overly lauded on one side and almost completely ignored on the other – but we're excited about the news:
It's been over a year since Derek released his critically acclaimed The Ringing Bell, and he's currently writing and recording his new album, which we hear is going to be titled Stockholm Syndrome. He's collaborating with long time friend and former Caedmon's Call bandmate Josh Moore on what is rumored to be a more experimental, electronic album. Teasing with programmed and decidedly more 'inorganic' elements, Stockholm Syndrome is shaping up to be Derek's most ambitious album to date. Be on the lookout for a tentative May 2009 release.

mr says:
I'm assuming you meant tentative.
Scott says:
Should be amazing.
Oh, and seriously, grammar police?
Stewart says:
Nice. More Webb!
Cale says:
Sign me up! Personally, I love Derek Webb but wasn't a huge fan of The Ringing Bell's genre. This new direction might be a little more my taste.

Thanks again to Brian Erickson
November 3rd, 2012
Filed under: Uncategorized
Brian has been helping me ready some late 1700s quill pen manuscript letters that I am trying to transcribe. It is great to have another person work on the puzzle. We found some VERY interesting material about Daniel Shays, leader of the Daniel Shays Rebellion, and will try to work on more of them.

Hello, All.
I've had several request for prints. I understand prints are often far more affordable than an original piece. However, I am still in love with offering one of kind pieces to buyers. I want each collector to have something no one else has. I battled for a bit on how to deal with this. First of all, THANK YOU for admiring my work. Secondly, I'm adding a few Buy It Now studies and older experiments each day at the top of the Available Works Page or in a Blog Post. They may not be perfect, but therein lies the beauty. Many find these interesting to have as collectors as they own a little piece of the "progression" of the artist. I find these intriguing to look back on and often revisit a style when it aesthetically fits a new project. Finally, I will soon add new smaller versions of larger works and completely new works. These most likely will be acrylic, watercolor, or even oil on paper. I hope to begin adding these as early as next week. The paintings will appear for a time on their own posting on this blog. I will also add a prompt on Facebook. On average the price range will be between $30-$60 (US) so that even the youngest collectors are able to purchase an original with their allowance (with maybe a little help from parents).
If there is a particular larger piece you've had your eye on in the gallery and would like to commission a more affordable version, please feel free to message me privately and I will see what I can do. I want to offer quality pieces in this budget friendly range, so please allow time as I get the ball rolling.
I hope this endeavor not only satisfies the request received so far but also allows even more to have something they can cherish and enjoy.
Thanks again to all for your support thus far.
Rachel Jones

Marketing Techniques used by Apple and Tesco
- Kirran Khan -
- Business Studies Unit 3 . 1 -
- March 2014 -
Case Study 1 - Apple Inc.
What is Marketing?
The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer. Marketing includes the coordination of four elements called the 4 P's of marketing. These are:
- Product - Place
- Price - Promotion
What are the 4P's of marketing?
"The 4P's of marketing" is a general phrase used to describe the different kinds of choices organisations have to make in the whole process of bringing a product or service to market.
Basically, the 4P's are about putting the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time.
What is a product?
A product is a good that is sold to customers or other businesses. Customers buy a product to meet a need. This means the firm must concentrate on making products that best meet customer requirements.
A business needs to choose the function, appearance and cost most likely to make a product appeal to the target market and stand out from the competition. This is called product differentiation.
Methods of Product Differentiation
- Establishing a strong brand image (personality) for a
good or service.
- Making the unique selling point (USP) of a good or service
- Other competitive factors, such as a product having a better location, design, appearance or price than rivals.
Product Portfolio
A product portfolio is the range of products sold by a company. Examples of this include Apple's iPhone and iPod and Tesco's 'Finest' range of products. A product portfolio can be analysed using The Boston Matrix.
What is a product life cycle?
It describes the stages a product goes through from when it was first thought of until it finally is removed from the market. Not all products reach this final stage. Some continue to grow and others rise and fall.
The product life cycle diagram below shows that four stages exist in the 'working life' of most products. These are:
Launch - Growth - Maturity - Decline
For the purpose of this presentation, I have chosen to use Apple Inc and Tesco PLC as case studies.
During this presentation, I will explain what marketing is as well as how it can affect Apple and Tesco so that I can work towards the P1 of Unit 3 in Business Studies which is called 'Marketing'.
Pricing Strategies
Firms think very carefully about the price to charge for their products. There are a number of factors to take into account when reaching a pricing decision:
Customers - Competitors - Costs.
There are times when businesses are willing to set the price of a product below unit cost. They use this loss leader strategy to gain sales and market share.
An example of the 'loss leader' strategy is the 'Bugatti Veyron' supercar. The car is made by the VW group and uses 1000 BHP to reach speeds of up to 253 mph. The car sells for around £1 million. The technology used in the car is so advanced that the VW group spend approxiamately £7.5 million on building just one car netting them an estimated loss of £6.25 million on each car they sell.
Pricing New Products
A business can choose between two pricing tactics when launching a new product:
- Penetration pricing means setting a relatively low price to boost sales. It is often used when a new product is launched, or if the firm's main objective is growth.
- Price skimming means setting a relatively high price to boost profits. It is often used by well-known businesses launching new, high quality,
premium products.
What is meant by 'place' in marketing?
Place is the point where products or services are made available to customers. A business has to decide on the most cost-effective way to make their products easily available to customers.
This involves selecting the best channel of distribution. Potential methods include using:
Telesales and mail order.
Internet selling or e-commerce.
What is meant by 'promotion' in marketing?
Promotion refers to the methods used by a business to make customers aware of a specific product or product range. Advertising is just one of the means a business can use to create publicity. Businesses create an overall promotional mix by putting together a combination of the following strategies:
Sales promotions
Personal selling
Direct marketing
What's Next?
Next, I will describe the effects of the marketing techniques that have just been covered and how they impact on Apple Inc.
Case Study 2 - Tesco PLC
Company History
Apple Inc. was established on April 1st, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne to sell the Apple I personal computer kit in Cupertino, California. In February 2014, Apple was named as the 'most important global company' by Forbes.com and in 2013 Apple Inc. generated $ 171 billion (approx. £102 billion)
Why do millions of people buy Apple's products?
From their humble begginnings in Steve Job's garage, Apple today are worth over £100 billion. This is because they use marketing to their advantage when designing a product. Apple products are all:
- Made to a High Quality - Built well from robust materials
- Designing with a clear house style - They are identifiable because of the logo on the back of all products
- Simple in their design - To appeal to a mass market
- Practical - Apple products are easy to use and very good for working on
Product Life Cycle
Every year since 2007, in September, Apple have released a new version (either a new model or an 'S' model) of their most popular product: the iPhone. They do this because over summer, iPhone sales begin to slightly decrease, so Apple quickly insert a new model into the market to gain an even larger market share and to boost revenue. This same technique is used for every Apple product range from the early Macintosh computers right through to the iPad.
A product life cycle diagram for the Apple iPhone
Product Line and Product Extension
What is a product line? - A product line is a series of products that are designed and made by a company and have a similar house style that is identifiable to a customer. For Apple this would be the iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
What is a product extension? - A new range of products that allow a company to branch out and appeal to a larger market in order to achieve a larger market share and generate more revenue. An example of this would be when Apple bought out Loewe, a Swedish TV company in 2012 so that they could begin production of the Apple Tv range of products.
Product Line: Depth and Width
The depth of a product line is basically the amount of products in a product line so the more extensions made to the product line will result in a larger depth of the product line.
The width of a company is the amount of product lines the company has so if Apple only had one range, for example: the iPhone, they could set up an accessories range for the business and this could be on a different product line.
What are Apple's routes to market?
The term 'routes to market' is used to describe how a company distributes their products to consumers. Apple use four main routes to market. These are:
- Online: through Apple.com
- In Apple stores: there are over 175 apple stores all over Britain
- Through intermeditaries: such as 'Stormfront' in Bury St. Edmunds

How do Apple price their products?
When a new product is released, Apple initially launch it at a high price. Apple price their products very well. They set a high price but instead of this initial high price putting customers off it attracts them as they see it as a luxury to be bought.
Do Apple use techniques such as price skimming?
Price skimming is very prominent in Apple pricing, the have a significantly high price then lower it gradually, then when a new model comes out it lowers even more.
Place: Channels and Distribution
Apple products are available in nearly every country in the world in nearly every shopping format as well.
They not only sell directly to consumers which is a large part of their revenue but also to suppliers such as supermarkets and phone stores such as 'Phones 4 U' and 'car phone warehouse', these are called intermediaries.
How do Apple promote their products?
Every time a new Apple product is launched, the CEO of the company presents the product to the media and to the world
Using celebrity endorsements: In the most recent Apple iPhone advertising campaign promoting and humanizing the phone's Siri feature, the company decided to recruit the actress Zooey Deschanel and high profiled celebrity, Samuel L. Jackson to showcase Siri's capabilities. They follow the company's marketing strategy of depicting "normal people doing amazing things with Apple products".
Demonstrating how their products are small, light and can fit in someone's pocket.
What's Next?
Next, I will describe the effects of the marketing techniques that were covered at the beginning of this presentation as well as and they impact on the global supermarket chain Tesco.
Company History
Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen from a market stall in London's East End. Over the past 95 years their business has grown and they now operate in 12 different countries around the world, employ over 530,000 people and serve tens of millions of customers every week.
Product Life Cycle
Tesco have created two separate ranges of their own products: Tesco Finest and Tesco Everyday Value. Within the ranges there is a wide variety of products. Each product has an individual product life cycle and these fluctuate throughout the year depending on the season. For example: towards Christmas, Tesco sell an increased amount of their own brand mint jelly and mint sauce. After Christmas, if sales don't increase rapidly, Tesco may consider creating a new product to sustain the gap in the market.
Product Line: Depth and Width
Tesco stock over 135,000 different brands of products. However they manufacture 13,000 different products for their Finest and Everyday Value ranges. These products are split up into several categories. Tesco as a business have a very large product 'width' because as they are a global supermarket, they need to stock a vast range of products in order to increase their market share.
What are Tesco's routes to market?
Tesco use a variety of different methods to distribute their massive amount of products to consumers. These include:
Tesco stores
Tesco direct
Click and Collect Service
Home Delivery
Catalogue delivery
How do Tesco price their products?
Tesco price their products by using a combination of the pricing strategies below:
- Value added pricing - Where the price is set in accordance with the customer's perceptions regarding the value of the product. This information could be obtained from the company conducting primary market research in the form of a focus group or questionnaire
- Psychological pricing - Where companies advertise a product as £9.99 as opposed to £10 to entice the consumer in to buy other products. The cpmpany Argos use this techniques to their full advantage by stating that a product that is listed for example at £199.99 is 'under £200'.
Tesco's Channels of Distribution
How do Tesco distribute their products to their millions of customers?
- Tesco have 3,146 stores located in the U.K.
- Their stores are available in 5 different formats:
Tesco Metro
Tesco Express
Tesco Extra
Tesco Home-Plus
The Tesco stores are represented on the map by the
How do Tesco promote their products?
How do Tesco advertise?
Advertising is a form of communication used to encourage and increase sales. Tesco use advertising to their advantage because they advertise their 'clubcard' scheme on media platforms such as tv, radio and online . The scheme is advertised so heavily to encourage customers to shop at Tesco as they have a loyalty scheme that uses clubcard points for customers to use as currency for future Tesco purchases.
How do Tesco package their products?
Effective packaging is used by Tesco to:
Present their products in an attractive and desirable way to appeal to the mass market and encourage consumers to purchase them
Explain what the product is / does to allow the customer a more in-depth idea of what they are purchasing
Gain market share - Many shoppers may choose to not shop at large supermarkets like Tesco because of fears of non-recyclable packaging affecting the environment

What is meant by Ansoff's box in marketing?
The Ansoff Growth matrix is another marketing planning tool that helps a business determine its product and market growth strategy.
Ansoff's product/market growth matrix suggests that a business' attempts to grow depend on whether it markets new or existing products in new or existing markets.
The output from the Ansoff product/market matrix is a series of suggested growth strategies which set the direction for the business strategy.
Tesco's distribution channel is basically a path that products travel through in order to get to customers.

PokerStars Keeps Guinness World Record
Full Tilt Maxes Out at 50,000, Comes Up Short
It was a battle for the record books on Sunday between the two largest poker sites in the world. With the World Series of Poker setting records of their own this summer, Full Tilt Poker attempted to do the same and break the old record of 35,000 for the largest online tournament ever held.
The previous record was held by PokerStars, who achieved the feat earlier this year with an $11 buy-in tournament. As a special conclusion to their fifth-year anniversary as a site, Full Tilt decided to stage a record-breaking attempt of their own with a $5 buy-in, 50,000-player field. To add some incentive, Full Tilt added $250,000 in dead money to the prize pool, bringing the total to $500,000.
Registration quickly began to fill, but not before PokerStars went on the defensive, organizing their own record-breaking tournament, capped off at 65,000 runners. With a buy-in of $1 and a prize pool of $130,000, the site featured overlays of their own to bring in the players.
Both tournaments were more than successful, each reaching their respective capacities, but PokerStars came out as the clear winner, with 15,000 more entrants and a new world record.
Each site experienced their fare share of problems during the tournament. Complaints of the software slowing down and timeouts were made, albeit rarely. At Full Tilt, it took a total of 15 minutes before every player had been sat at a table. Fortunately, the site was well aware of the issue before it took place and the players responded positively to the experience.
For winning the largest tournament in history, 004 license pocketed an impressive $13,000. Over at Full Tilt, breo40 came out on top for the $45,000 payday.

Woman (22) who tweeted '2 drunk 2 care' before car crash killed two people is sentenced to 24 years
A young woman who tweeted "2 Drunk 2 Care" just minutes before a head-on collision that killed two people was sentenced to 24 years in prison on Monday.
Kayla Mendoza (22) pleaded guilty in February to two charges of DUI (Driving under the influence) manslaughter in the road deaths of Kaitlyn Ferrante and her best friend Marisa Catronio, who were both 21 at the time, NBC Miami has reported.
Mendoza had been facing a maximum of 30 years in prison. She will also serve six years of probation after her prison sentence, and a lifetime driving ban has also been imposed.
Before sentencing, Mendoza tearfully read a letter in court asking for forgiveness.
Mendoza was two times over the legal driving limit in Florida when the crash happened. She had been drinking with her co-workers before the devastating crash.
At the time of the accident, Mendoza was 20-years-old and driving without a valid license. The court heard that she drove head-on into Kaitlyn Ferrante and Marisa Catronio's vehicle.
Ms Catronio was killed instantly in the crash, while Ferrante died in hospital four days later.

For the past 21 years, Sam Bass' artwork has been brought to life on board the No. 24 Chevrolet with Jeff Gordon driving to championships as well as numerous victories together.
Beginning in 1992, Bass worked with Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports to unveil the "Rainbow Warrior" paint scheme that became synonymous with the team. Since that time, Bass has designed over 50 paint schemes for Gordon.
This weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Gordon will take to the track in another Sam Bass original design as featured below. The No. 24 Standox paint scheme is sure to turn heads as Gordon blazes around the speedway with his trademark flames.
"The Standox special paint scheme was a chance for me to really try something new, it marked the first time that I had ever been able to use so much white on a car for Jeff," said Bass. "The pristine white of the hood looks classy and rich, beautifully feeding into the flame graphics and is surrounded by the immediately recognizable Standox blue. The traditional neon yellow No. 24′s really pop off the new colors which should really attract a lot of attention at Michigan."
"It is always a pleasure to create new paint schemes for AXALTA and Jeff Gordon. Our 21 year working relationship has produced a lot of memorable looking race cars with stunning paint and appearances, topped off with a driver who knows how to show them off in victory lane! I am extremely proud of the work I have done for them over the years and this new Standox car continues that tradition."

Hi.. my school is wanting to create an ongoing learning assessment tool for our students to track what they are achieving, and what their next learning step is. We would love to make it accessible for parents to observe also.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how they do this in their school? Or tools that they use?
Thanks in advance

Hi Steph,
This video might be worth a watch. Some cool examples of how a school is using kidspeak progressions and QR codes. Could prompt some ideas. It's from Enabling E-learning which always has awesome content.
This was fantastic! I'm really keen to start using these in the class.
I'll put my thinking cap on for how parents could access a matrix/rubrix also.
Thanks so much
I wonder also if you have had a look at the https://sites.google.com/a/matata.school.nz/literacy-progressions/https://sites.google.com/a/matata.school.nz/literacy-progressions/where an attempt has been made to put the progressions into kids speak.
One school I work with has developed these and children have made been made copies- as they show that they have mastered a facet they highlight it and look at their next learning step.
Allanah King liked this
That's really great to know..
It'd be great to create an online matrix for the students and parents to access.
Thanks so much
I've put the call out on the wire and in twitter for you Stephanie, there might be some schools who have created something similar they can share . No point reinventing the wheel!
I was wondering Stephanie if this is what you mean when you ask for an on line matrix of learning progressions for writing

Police in New Orleans are looking for two people in connection with a shooting early Sunday that left one man dead, and nine other people injured.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Iberville and the famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter. Police say the man who was killed, 25-year-old Demontris Toliver, was not an intended target of the shooting. Neither were the seven other men and two women who were shot early Sunday.
Two people have been arrested for illegal carrying of a firearm, but neither are suspects in the shooting. Police Superintendent Michael Harrison says the argument migrated to Bourbon Street and "turned to a shootout."
"They made a choice to endanger the lives of thousands of visitors and residents who were in the area," Harrison said of the shooters. "I'm confident we will track down those responsible for the crimes. We will hold them accountable for their actions."
Police say the two shooters were allegedly unharmed, and fled on foot, evading increased patrols that were in the area for a football game. Harrison says agents with the ATF and FBI are aiding in the manhunt.
"We're going to pursue these individuals very, very aggressively," said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "The violence continues to spin out of control with people brandishing weapons whenever they think they can. It's really unfortunate."
The victims range in age from 20 to 37 years old. Five of them had been treated and released from area hospitals as of Sunday night. The other four are expected to fully recover.
The man killed, Demontris Toliver, was a tattoo artist from Baton Rouge. His death marks the 162nd homicide in New Orleans this year.
In 2014, a nursing student was killed and nine other people were injured in a shooting on Bourbon Street. One of the shooters was sentenced to 60 years, while the other suspect still hasn't been identified.

About Area
Treasure Island is a small town (pop. 7,500) with a split personality -- the beach and the bay. The beach folks live in funky neighborhoods like Sunset Beach and Sunshine Beach within walking or biking distance of the Gulf of Mexico. The bay people live in waterfront neighborhoods like Isle of Capri, Isle of Palms and Paradise Island that fan out in Boca Ciega Bay, with boat docks aplenty.
The city was founded in 1955 from four smaller communities -- Sunset Beach, Sunshine Beach, Boca Ciega and Treasure Island. In classic Florida fashion, a developer buried phony treasure on the beach as a publicity stunt. T-shirt shops and family motels soon followed, especially during the land boom of the 1950s when many of the city's distinctive motels were built. A handful still remain, although most have been replaced with condos and larger hotels. The city runs a golf and tennis center on Paradise Island and a community center downtown.

GM, BMW Holiday Ads Feature High-Tech Elves, Fastest Christmas Song in the World
Automakers are starting to get into the holiday spirit — BMW and GM have both released their very own holiday-themed commercials a day after we featured Mercedes-Benz's take on how to bake holiday cookies.
BMW and GM have very different approaches to their holiday commercials. BMW follows the same formula Mercedes used – a hot car lapping a race track while doing something vaguely holiday related. In this case, BMW grabs four members of a Swiss a cappella group and DTM driver Martin Tomczyk for a ride around a race track in a new BMW M135i. The group then begins singing Jingle Bells as Tomczyk drifts the hatchback around the track.
GM went for a more traditional approach with its holiday commercial in which robots and employees dressed as elves box and wrap up a toy Camaro. The box is then given to Santa Claus, who promptly gets into a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS 45th Anniversary Edition Convertible to deliver the gift.
Which holiday commercial did you like best? The one from BMW, GM, or Mercedes-Benz? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Coolock locals say they can't get modular homes 'quick enough'
Housing Crisis
Some Coolock locals have welcomed the plans for modular homes in their area
Belcamp Avenue in Coolock is situated in the centre of a sprawling housing estate in north Dublin.
A stone's throw away is one of the largest community creches in Europe, with places for some 260 children.
The building sits next to various amenities, including adult education services, a health centre, shops, schools, and elderly support services.
However, while many locals welcomed news of the proposed development, others expressed concern that an influx of homeless people may fuel crime and drug abuse in the area.
But Lynda Hayden, CEO of Darndale Village Centre, said the pre-fabricated units were an ideal "transitional home" for families.
"It's better that these people have somewhere to call their own, instead of living out of a suitcase in hotels," she said.
"I view them as a permanent solution; they're used all over Europe.
"They're definitely a viable solution to the homelessness crisis - we can't get them quick enough in the area.
"We already have modular buildings where we operate a Senior Centre. They are cosy, warm and durable.
"Overall it's a great idea because it gives people the independence to cook for themselves, while providing adequate bedroom space for young children."
One local pointed out the proposed site in Belcamp Avenue is prone to flooding issues during the winter months.
"Preparation for this kind of eventuality is key because I know the devastation flooding can cause," Ms Hayden added.
"But as long as they prepare the site adequately it should be fine.
"It's also important that when someone accepts one of these temporary homes, that they don't lose their place on the housing list.
"They're being put in a well supported area.
"We have a day care facility for 200 kids.
"These units are not being put in the middle of the country.
"It's an established community with all the facilities required."
