Written on: 02/01/2006 by Gryf (2 reviews written)
Well done Hitachi, this is a world beater product. At around £20 this has to be the grooming bargain of the century. Having had quite a few electric shavers down the years, I now realise that price and performance are not necessarily related. This unit shaves really well, better than units costing five times the price. Its charge lasts a full two weeks of use, its lightish in weight so its nice to use and also won't add unecessary weight to your luggage when travelling. Universal voltage... (read more)

Catching up with Humbie
With the San Antonio Spurs' season coming to an abrupt end, I figured it was a good time to catch up with friend of Project Spurs, Sports Reporter Humberto "Humbie" Cervera from San Antonio's News 4 WOAI.
Humbie has been a regular here at Project Spurs and he isn't shy about telling it how it is when it comes to the Spurs which has caused some ruffling of Spurs fan's feathers. However, don't fret, he is a big Spurs fan.
Make sure to also check out his blog, appropriately titled "Humbie's Blog."
In this Q&A, we talk about the Spurs' regular season, what he would do if he was the Spurs' GM, Tony Parker, and more.
Jeff: Though you predicted the Spurs would sweep the Grizzlies, you were one of the few throughout the season to not put too much credence into the Spurs performance and record. What made you have that feeling throughout the season?
Humbie: Well, I had thought the Spurs would be able to roll all over the Grizz. I thought Manu was going to be healthy and play in all the games. Neither of those happened. Even though I picked the wrong ending to that series the same thing I'd been saying about them all year came true. (Just two rounds earlier than I thought.) The lack of depth in their frontcourt was their downfall. They got owned down low and they had little to no chance of winning that battle down low. Maybe with a healthy Manu they can overcome that mismatch, but without Manu being great.... it was over.
So here we are, an early summer vacation for San Antonio. If you can be the GM for one day, what would two things you would do to improve the team?
They've gotta get bigger. There is no way around it. The only problem is that they have limited resources to actually do that. The only REAL trade-able piece to get a big man that will make an impact is Tony Parker. So, I'm not sure I would realistically be able to do if I were in that seat. All they can do is hope a decent big falls to them in the draft or they can sign someone for the mid-level.
What was your initial reaction when you read about Tony Parker's comments at the Spurs regarding their championship window, age, and how he was the most trade-able asset?
Tony is right on all of those things. I think it's funny he said it in the media. I'm not going to rip him for it. I actually applaud him for being honest about all those subjects. We all ask our athletes to be honest and candid, then people rip them for saying something slightly controversial. Good for him for honestly answering questions. I just wish they would've been available after the season was over so WE could've asked those same questions.
The Spurs have a knack for finding gems late in the NBA Draft. Do you see that will happen again in a weak draft?
I think each year the Spurs find that gem its someone that we've never heard of. I can't really say if they will find another guy that we've never heard of, but they have a good track record of doing it.
Aside from illegal avenues, can you think of any possible way for the Spurs to rid themselves of Richard Jefferson and his contract? Unless you think he deserves another season to prove himself?
The only chance they would have to get rid of RJ is to throw him into a trade with Tony or maybe George (Hill). The other side of it... throwing him into the deal would mean another team would want to give the Spurs less. The only real chance they'll of moving RJ is in the final year of his deal when his contract will be expiring.

Artist: Molotov
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
I'll rip your head off and defecate down your neck
You better alejate because I don't give a heck
You can't understand how I kicks my bingo
You better step back because here comes the crazy gringo
I your face, that's right I'm freestylin'
Doing it with ease all the while you're tryin'
To be like me, I can't understand
Why you can't be your own man
People try to get with the style I got
Don't you know I'm doin' it without coke or pot
I'm naturally kind of fucked up like that
You know what I'm saying
M to the O to the L to the O
To the T to the O to the V
For those illiterate bastards
Who cannot spell Molotov is who we be
Molotov shit is too tight
Much, much stronger than any dynamite
Slick is the way res'e moving
Funky as shit is the way it's grooving
Masoline in a Coke bottle
You get all pissed 'cause we turned up the throttle
Plug it up w/a gas checked rag
I don't run away 'cause I'd rather le my pants sag
Met out the lgther, set it on fire
Watch it as I throw it, getting brighter and brighter
Contact was made with the opposing objective
You went from something to nothing in just under a second
M to the O to the L to the O
To the T to the O to the V
For those illiterate bastards
Who cannot spell Molotov is who we be
They call us Molotov 'cause we explode on sight
Keep on talking shit if you're looking for fight
Your mouth keeps moving but all I hear is noise
If you're fucking with the gringo loco you better go get yours, boys
Mike, Pac and Tito, they got my back
If you think you're bad enough, I'll put you down the snack
Believe it or not what I'm saying
Don't be stupid kid 'cause I ain't playing
M to the O to the L to the O
To the T to the O to the V
For those illiterate bastards
Who cannot spell Molotov is who we be

No time for a flesh-and-blood book club? Try the Twitter variety
More book clubs go global with Twitter.

Is 1book140 the beginning of more Twitter book clubs? What does that bode for books and reading?
Well, it's certainly not the first. Among the other Twitter book clubs out there is TwitBookClub. Launched in December 2009, it has more than 700 followers worldwide. One difference? Members meet in Dubai every month for quick discussions.
There's also the Book Club, an international book club for Twitterers where more than 6,000 followers discuss books in general, rather than specific titles.
And then there's the Norm MacDonald Book Club. "Yes, Norm has taken to Twitter to begin an ongoing discussion of literature with his nearly 4,000 followers," reported Cinema Blend. "First up: Robert Penn Warren's 'All the King's Men.' I know, this is where I was expecting the punchline, too. But so far, at least, MacDonald seems to be playing this straight."
What does this mean for reading? Are Twitter book clubs a social media gimmick that will reduce reading and appreciating books to superficial 140-character analyses?
Certainly, Twitter book clubs like 1book140 won't plumb the depths of an author's work or facilitate the deepest, most constructive interpretation of any literary work.
But it will get thousands of people around the globe excited about reading, sharing their unique interpretations, and interacting about one of our favorite subjects: books.
"The point isn't to perform magisterial feats of exegesis single-handed, but rather suss out new and interesting interpretations with lots of other people," 1book140 organizers said in a statement.
That, we think, can only be good.

With this thread I propose that people post a concept art (not concept design) with the respective movie frame in order to show how much has the concept evolved (or not) until it became a reality on the big screen. In order to make navigation easier, I would suggest that pictures have a size of around or under 700px wide and to remove the letterbox mattes when applicable. Also, feel free to repost comparisons if you think you can provide a more accurate one. So here it goes: ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- More to come...
Here's one that might get some heads scratching: Incidentally, as per Alexrd's original post, let's keep this particular thread about concept artwork depicting actual scenes & how they were realised in the films, rather than just concept designs and sketches of characters, costumes, vehicles and so on. However, if anyone would like to start a new thread (or bump an old one) about concept designs, please go right ahead, it'll be more than welcome. And again, @Alexrd, terrific idea, I can see this thread being a lot of fun.
Thanks for the contributions. I would just ask again to, whenever possible, post pictures with a size of around or under 700px wide, in order to make navigation easier for people with small screens or low bandwidth and to use film frames instead of promotional photos (unless they happen to be too similar, as some of the above). To make the task easier, here's an example of an online resizer. As promised, here are some more: ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
@Alexrd I think those ROTJ McQuarrie paintings were done after pre-production, which is why they have more of his "finished" style than his "concept art" style. Wasn't he sick or something during part of ROTJ pre-production, so he did less work for it? Or something like that? @Darth_Nub The Cloud City shot where you can see the top of the Falcon is always cool to me because I think that's the one where McQuarrie saw what the lighting on the set looked like and thought the practical Falcon didn't look good enough, so he just painted in parts and lighting on the matte that he thought would look better. You can kind of tell the background is a matte but I would have never guess that the roof of the Falcon is a painting too.
Opted to use a video rather than a still, since the specific shot that the piece seems to represent features a pan that would be hard to capture in a single image.
I'll get in on the fun. Better realized with the Special Edition. (That was the closest match I could find).
I wish they'd done a Lando figure for the Macquarrie Collection. Gotta love those THX-1138 inspired guards, batons and all. Don't know what an undersized Wampa's doing in Cloud City, though.

The imagination of Jorge Luis Borges is a place of endless proliferation. His stories are filled with images of mirrors, masks, and mazes, and they abound with allusions not only to other literary texts but also to the whole range of intellectual history. Technically, they are endlessly intricate, as identities merge and fracture, actions multiply and repeat, and texts serve as testing grounds for the metafictional enterprise. The narrative conventions of plot, character, and setting are redefined in these stories. They may more appropriately be seen as language problems or inquiries into the nature of how fiction is created and read. For example, "Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote" parodies literary criticism, as a pedantic reviewer analyzes the superiority of a verbatim twentieth century "reinvention" of the classic novel to its original. Other stories, such as "The Library of Babel," "The Lottery in Babylon" and "TLON, UQBAR, ORBIS TERTIUS," present fantasticated worlds in which the boundaries between reality and illusion are erased. Another group, highlighted by "The Garden of the Forking Paths," "Death and the compass," and "The Form of the Sword," seem to turn plot into a conspiracy of form, so that the reader must double as detective, burrowing his way through layered identities and texts within texts. Or Borges will explore the possibilities opened up by impossible premises, as in "The Secret Miracle," whose heroes create...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
One of the most innovative Latin American writers in the twentieth century, Jorge Luis Borges is considered by many to have exerted a powerful force in reforming the Spanish language. His prose is precise, compact, and direct; it is at times deceptively simple yet abounds in psychological and philosophical subtlety. The author of essays and poetry, Borges is known primarily for two volumes of short stories, Ficciones (1944) and El Aleph (1949, 1952). Ficciones is an anthology of short stories in two parts entitled "The Garden of the Forking Paths" and "Artifices." Whereas part 1 was published separately several years earlier in Buenos Aires, part 2 contains a number of stories published for the first time.
Throughout his long career, Borges remained interested in a number of topics. He had a lifelong love of things Argentine, including a fascination with the country's great stark plains, the Pampa, and their violent and elemental cowboys, called gauchos. His broader attraction to Argentine life and literature found its focus in Buenos Aires, a city he loved and knew intimately and where he spent much of his life. Borges's second enduring interest can be classified as philosophical, though his thought and knowledge range widely over metaphysics, history, religion, art, and literature. Early in his life, Borges gained a reputation as a difficult writer, one who wrote not for the masses but for a select few scholars and literary critics. Nevertheless, his short stories—which allow insight into one of the most creative literary minds of the twentieth century—are readily accessible to those willing to approach them with patience.
The stories center around themes (destiny, time, infinity) that recur throughout the entire corpus of his work. Borges avoids, however, merely clothing ideas in literary form; rather, he carefully constructs plots that flow relentlessly to their conclusion. His elegant integration of complex philosophical concerns and the striking artistic unity of his stories are testimony to his skill as a writer.
In "Tln Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," Borges envisions the possibility of a world constructed according to the idealist tenets of the English philosopher Bishop Berkeley. Although Borges often insisted that he was not a philosopher in the traditional sense, he had a tendency to favor idealism, the proposition that thought is primary to matter. "Tln, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" begins with the narrator, Borges himself, stating that he owes "the discovery of Uqbar to the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia," an opening that hints more at a detective tale than a metaphysical one. Borges's friend and dinner companion, Bioy Casares, responds that the mirror is abominable, as is copulation, "since both multiply the numbers of man," a quote not from Casares himself but from an article on the country of Uqbar in the Anglo-American Encyclopedia. Narrator Borges and Casares are puzzled, however, to find that they are able to locate the article on Uqbar in only one set of the Anglo-American Encyclopedia, a fact made even more inexplicable by the mysterious inclusion of several additional pages in the volume containing the article. The story plays out in detective fashion. The narrator later accidentally discovers volume 11 of A First Encyclopedia of Tln, a source of information about an imaginary land in the literature of the imaginary country Uqbar. Oddly enough, the nations of Tln are "congenitally idealist"; their language, religion, literature, and metaphysics all reject any suggestion of materialism. There are, for example, no nouns in the language of Tln but only sentences constructed of verbs and other parts of speech, which validates the idealist basis of life on Tln. The seemingly impossible takes place when certain thinkers on Tln attempt to demonstrate the validity of materialism, an undertaking that causes considerable unease.
Borges's fascination with idealism and its implications plays out in the final third of the story when, first inexplicably, then ominously, objects from Tln begin to appear in the world of the narrator. The story, a finely crafted philosophical tale, may be a parable of the effects of thought on the formation of the world. Tln, an imaginary planet in the literature of an imaginary country, which is itself created...

Balboa Sushi 21
One of the oldest amusement parks in southern California, Balboa Fun Zone is a harbor-sized time capsule sent from an era when carnival rides were designed with a distinctive panache. The colorful attractions have occupied the Balboa Peninsula since 1936, when the original landowner converted an old boat yard into a seaside carnival. The peninsula juts out from Newport Beach to form the storied patch of real estate that has attracted countless patrons with spinning carousels, arcades, and a ferris wheel known for its longish rides and elevated views of the Pacific's horizon.
The amusement park enjoyed a rebuilding in 1986 and today retains its original elegance despite decades of serial owners and various changes to the landscape and surrounding shops. Although the beloved merry-go-round was retired in 2011, the wooden stallions still drop in once a summer to greet old friends and nibble on cotton candy.

Coming soon: Hardware-accelerated Firefox on Mac
Firefox for Mac OS X hadn't been Mozilla's top priority in the feverish race to give a hardware boost to the task of drawing Web pages on a screen, but it looks as if the technology will arrive in time for Firefox 4.
Windows not only is more widely used than Mac OS X but also is where Microsoft has been touting its hardware-accelerated IE9 work. So it wasn't a great surprise that Mozilla's first work for hardware acceleration arrived there. But yesterday, the organization decided to try to squeeze in some Mac acceleration just before a critical Firefox 4 deadline.
The next Firefox beta, the seventh, is set to be the last for the addition of new features. This feature-freeze stage is essential to give enough debugging time to meet the planned 2010 release of Firefox 4.
It's not certain the acceleration for the Mac will make it. Mozilla programmers decided to build it into the developer versions of Firefox released nightly for more testing then reconvene later this week to decide how to proceed.
Firefox's Windows version includes some hardware acceleration using Microsoft's Direct3D 9 graphics interface, with Direct3D 10 support on the way. The Mac version uses a competing interface, OpenGL, that's not as well-supported on Windows. … Read more

Anyway, I'm not big on resolutions because I almost never stick to them so I'm not really making any improbable ones this year.
But I do have one beauty resolution for 2011. Check it out after the jump.
This year, I'm gonna try wearing lip colors that are not nude. I know this pink isn't a big deal but hey, baby steps! It's already a lot more color than what I'd usually go for. Who knows? Maybe come 2012 I'd brave myself to wear a deep burgundy or... wait for it... fuchsia! If not, is there a lip color that you're eager to see me wear? As in, with a full look and not just a lip shot!

Welcome to /r/DailyProgrammer challenge submissions! The focus of r/DailyProgrammer is to provide daily/weekly challenges to keep your mind and fingers busy between projects. This subreddit (r/DailyProgrammer_Ideas) is a challenge submission system, where you can submit any ideas, which may be accepted and posted to the official subreddit! We post Easy challenges on Mondays, Intermediate on Wednesdays, and Hard on Fridays. Once your submission is peer reviewed and accepted, it will be queued-up in our internal system and
Submission Procedure
There is a minimum criteria you must meet for submitting a good challenge:
Your post title must start with [Easy] / [Intermediate] / [Hard] and the title
Challenges should be described in a fun and lighthearted, even if difficult. Give your challenge a theme, such as "you're on a mission to mars" or "you're a robot trying to buy cupcakes".
Your description should be at least two to three short paragraphs: You should have a general background, then a detailed explanation of the task, and a final example walk-through.
Challenges must be easy to describe and without the need of specialized knowledge outside of programming. If a developer cannot research and understand any knowledge-dependencies (outside of general programming) in a few minutes, then your challenge is too specialized of a topic.
Make the title interesting; it does not have to explicitly say what you are doing in the challenge.
Set the difficulty to an appropriate level. Easy challenges have trivial brute-force solutions. Intermediate challenges may have some sorting and searching involved, and though can be solved through brute-force, are too complex to solve without algorithms. Hard challenges are generally comparable to NP / NP-complete problems, like the Traveling Salesman Problem.
What you must fill out in your post is the following:

Easy[Easy] Making numbers palindromic (self.dailyprogrammer_ideas)
submitted 9 months ago by jnazario
Did a quick search but didn't see it here. The idea comes from:
Title: [Easy] Making numbers palindromic
Difficulty: Easy
Description To covert nearly any number into a palindromic number you operate by reversing the digits and adding and then repeating the steps until you get a palindromic number. Some require many steps.
e.g. 24 gets palindromic after 1 steps: 66 -> 24 + 42 = 66
while 28 gets palindromic after 2 steps: 121 -> 28 + 82 = 110, so 110 + 11 (110 reversed) = 121.
Note that, as an example, 196 never gets palindromic (at least according to researchers, at least never in reasonable time). Several numbers never appear to approach being palindromic.
You will be given a number, one per line.
You will describe how many steps it took to get it to be palindromic, and what the resulting palindrome is.
11 68
11 gets palindromic after 0 steps: 11 68 gets palindromic after 3 steps: 1111
123 286 196196871
123 gets palindromic after 1 steps: 444 286 gets palindromic after 23 steps: 8813200023188 196196871 gets palindromic after 45 steps: 4478555400006996000045558744
Bonus: see which input numbers, through 1000, yield identical palindromes.
Bonus 2: See which numbers don't get palindromic in under 10000 steps.

802.11n, space for camera hidden in Apple's new iPod touch
A look inside the latest iPod touch hardware reveals the device has space to fit an iPod nano-style video camera, and also sports a wireless chip that supports 802.11n.The new, faster, higher-capacity third-generation iPod touch was long-rumored to receive a camera, and mounting, convincing evidence in recent months led many to believe it was an inevitability. Apple surprised this week when it announced a 64GB iPod touch without a camera, adding credibility to reports to AppleInsider that hardware issues prevented the new feature from becoming a reality.
Providing even more support for that rumor is a disassembly of the new iPod touch by iFixit. In their teardown, they found enough space to fit a video camera, like the one featured in the new iPod nano. In addition, the space is in the center on the back of the device, where the camera was rumored to be located. However, there are no headers on the iPod's board for a camera cable.
"It appears that Apple left in room for a camera in the top of the device," the solutions provider said. "There is a 6mm x 6mm x 3mm space between the Broadcom chip and the wireless antenna. There isn't enough depth for an iPhone-style autofocus still camera, but just enough room for the camera that Apple used in the 5th generation iPod nano."
The new iPod nano has a video-only camera. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said in an interview with The New York Times this week that the iPod touch was not given a camera because the company wanted to focus on promoting the hardware as a gaming machine, and keeping the low-end model's price under $200. However, sources have suggested to AppleInsider that the hardware maker still intends to introduce an iPod touch with a camera.
iFixit also found a Broadcom BCM4329 chip inside the new third-generation device — a wireless receiver that supports 802.11n. The iPhone 3GS has a BCM4325 chip, which only supports 802.11 a/b/g. The new iPod touch does not support 802.11n Wi-Fi out of the box.
"This reminds us of last year when we broke the news that the 2nd generation touch had Bluetooth support in hardware," they said. "Apple didn't enable software support until 9 months later with iPhone OS 3.0."
The new device also features a Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and and a FM receiver and transmitter. However, that does not necessarily mean that the iPod touch will be able to receive and send FM signals. The latest iPod nano, however, does have a built-in FM receiver.
"If they built in the antennas, and if Apple adds software support," iFixit said, "you could theoretically stream music to your car stereo without any external hardware. But that's a lot of ifs."
"While we were all disappointed by Apple's underwhelming iPod touch announcement, it is clear that there is more engineering effort under the surface of this device than meets the eye."

Does anyone have advice on training pants for early potty trainers? My kids aren't ready for cold-turkey potty training, but they are (and I am) sick of diapers, and I'm sick of fighting over diapers. We do a lot of naked time at home, but for outings it's not okay to leave a puddle on the floor, and there's a limit to how many full changes of clothing I can bring. I've been reading reviews of best bottom trainers, and am interested in trainers we could use for car trips, library trips, maybe naps.
Any advice for me or experience?
Ideally this would be something that could hold a whole pee and have waterproofing, yet be like panties so we can avoid the fighting.
Or advice to just fight the fight and do diapers full time until they're older would be fine too.

Slightly overscans image edges, No internal memory or media player
Adapter cable for Apple video-capable iPods and iPhones is an optional accessory (it isn't included); not terribly bright picture, particularly when you expand the screen size.
Picture severely lacking in brightness. Barely functional audio
Although brighter than the first-generation version, its still not very bright. Audio is barely loud enough to be usable.

The MPro120 is admittedly a definite improvement over previous generation pocket projectors, which were bulkier, offered short battery life, and were even duller. However, I feel that the pico projector technology is still in early stages and lacks...

Wow. It's hard to believe this pocket-sized projector even exists; yet here it is sitting in the palm and beaming an image 1.27m across. Now that's tiny by conventional projector standards, but it's a boon to any road warrior who gives...

Exile Express (2005) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Anna Sten is backed by a hard-working cast in this film, one of the last productions from Grand National Pictures, but the players can utilize very little from a raggedly scripted and weakly directed affair during which Sten, in spite of her heavily accented English, is apt to please a viewer more by her performance than will the assemblage of stereotypical character types with whom she is interjoined. Ukrainian Sten is cast here as Nadine Nikolas, a Russian emigrant to the United States who is diligently studying for her citizenship qualification exam and employed as a laboratory assistant for a research chemist, Dr. Hite (Harry Davenport) who has discovered a (not terribly) secret formula, poisonous gas that is coveted by both the U.S. government and spies sent from a foreign nation (clearly meant to be the Soviet Union), but when Hite is slain, the subsequent scandal is more than enough to not only prevent Nadine from achieving her goal to become an American citizen, but additionally to place her aboard the eponymous "Exile Express", a deportation train that is the initial leg of a forcible return to her erstwhile Eastern European homeland. Her future plans blighted by enmeshment in a homicide, Nadine has glumly accepted her portion until she receives unexpected succour from a maverick journalist, Steve Reynolds (Alan Marshall), who has appointed himself as the eyefilling blonde's bodyguard after helping her escape from the train, with the two of them thereupon striving to elude both the set of murderous Slavic spies and a collection of U.S. law enforcement officials. A goodly portion of the film is apparently designed to be a skittish comedy, but the scriptors have sadly neglected to write lines that are even nominally comedic, and prosaic plotting is hardly helped by tepid direction given by Otis Garrett, on loan from Universal Pictures, with an effect that both featured and supporting actors are left to rely upon previously established stylistics that merely contribute to the tired quality of the tale. A repletion of poorly constructed farcical interludes, in combination with flaccid attempts at suspense and romance have brought about a work lacking in style, yet overstocked with predictability. Sten's widely undervalued ability is put to proper use as she is able to furnish some sparkle to her characterization, but the other players in most cases walk through their parts, with the exception of Leonid Kinskey who earns the acting laurels as a sinister foreign agent. The piece is reissued upon an Alpha Video DVD and, in accord with that company's custom, has not been remastered, as is easily evident. Its credits show George Parrish as composer of the work's score, but the latter is in truth a goulash from studio stock.

The Dominion War which was even more protracted and costly. The Federation is weak, though they were victorious. But I think that the "something wrong" in Starfleet that Admiral Chekov mentioned has to do with cynicism amd paranoia on the part of the younger andmiralty to come into their rank in the aftermath of all this. For these people, who would have been captains on the front lines durring the bloodiest periods in Federation history, a form of totalitarian control may seem like the right thing to do to ensure security for the Federation, but at the cost of the freedoms and valuse that it enjoyed for so long...
The events political events of TNG and DS9 shaped Starfleet into something less than an organization for peaceful exploration and more of a defensive, militaristic organization. One that almost got hosed by the Borg, the Klingons and the Dominion all within the span of about fifteen years. It needs fixing. And if it takes a gang of outlaws on an ugly ship to do it, then so be it.
They are getting really close to hitting the goal. only $16,123.00 left and 5 days.
I'm curious to see what they can do with this. But we won't find out unless they secure funding.
There are many problems with STO that only the Devs can fix. And they should...
At the same time, there are many problems that we are perfectly capable of fixing ourselves. And we should...

Seeing opportunity in China for brands such as Irwin, Dymo and Lenox, Newell Rubbermaid pushes what it calls a "Growth Game Plan."
Newell Rubbermaid announced the expansion of its office in Shanghai as the company continues to drive its Growth Game Plan. The expanded Shanghai office currently houses nearly 200 employees, with additional capacity for future growth.
With China's steel production approaching half of total world output, the company's Lenox brand of industrial cutting solutions has seen strong growth by enabling the processing of steel and other metals into manufactured goods, especially in heavy industries, such as aviation, shipbuilding and autos.
"We are adding space to accommodate a growing team with new capabilities, supported by a larger investment in the brands within our portfolio that have the ability to win bigger in this priority market," said Bill Burke, chief operating officer of Newell Rubbermaid. "For a number of years, our Tools and Fine Writing businesses have led the way in China with solid growth, and our Commercial Products and Baby segments are also making good progress. We are now in a position to begin building our go-to-market system at scale in China, utilizing Shanghai as a key hub."
The rise of urbanization and the growth of mega-cities are fueling a construction boom, which is an opportunity for the company's Irwin Tools and Dymo industrial labeling products, according to Newell.
The expanded Shanghai office adds to existing sales and procurement offices in Beijing and Shenzhen, several Tools technical centers and a Fine Writing innovation center, as well as a number of manufacturing and distribution facilities across China. The office is located in the recently opened Gubei International Fortune Center II development in the Gubei New District of Shanghai.
