Nick's BIGGEST Canine Partners team takes Reading by storm
The biggest Canine Partners running team ever assembled turned the 2014 Reading Half Marathon purple when an incredible 59 runners competed in what has become a major event in our annual calendar. Organiser Nick Poole, who is based at 3M in Bracknell, provided the leadership and enthusiasm to create the biggest team yet to don our famous hairy headbands.
Speaking after the event Nick said: "What an amazing day. I've never known a buzz like it and to see so many resplendent in purple was a sight to behold."
We launch capital appeal for our Midlands Centre
Canine Partners has welcomed more than 80 guests to the stunning Belvoir Castle for the official launch of the capital appeal to raise funds for the charity's new Midlands Training Centre.
Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland kindly hosted the event and spoke movingly about Canine Partners and the support she continues to give to our development plans. Also on hand to welcome guests was Chairman of the Capital Appeal Committee Clive Richards OBE DL and Canine Partners CEO Andy Cook.
Chelsea helps Arthur and Daxi win Platinum Award
One of our most talented partnerships has gained their coveted Platinum Award as part of their ongoing training. Arthur Findlater and the hugely gifted Daxi, who live in Gloucestershire, passed the Platinum Award test on a recent visit by the Canine Partners Aftercare Supervisor Claire Anthony. The incredible partnership has mastered an impressive array of specialist tasks to win the award – only the third to do so in the history of Canine Partners.
Canine Partners needs to raise £3.1million to build a second Training Centre in order to train more dogs and change more lives.
We have purchased a site in a village called Osgathorpe, halfway between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Loughborough, which has a range of barns, outbuildings and associated land. The plan is to replace the barns and adapt some of the outbuildings to create the specialised buildings we need.
Having a Midlands Training Centre will not only increase our output, it will also make the charity far more accessible for those on our waiting list who are unable to make the long journey to our centre in West Sussex. 42% of the applications we received last year were from people living in the mid and northern regions of the UK. Many of our existing partnerships will also benefit from being able to receive support from the new centre.
The site will consist of a training centre and office facilities, fully accessible accommodation and kennelling.
This is an extremely exciting time for Canine Partners and we would be delighted to receive your support.

The Business of Change: Reinventing Past Beauty Hits Into Tomorrow's Trends
Sunday July 14th
3:00pm to 4:30pm
Bella Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
The beauty and fashion industry is forever changing and forever reinventing itself. We all have said at one point or another when seeing a new product, "Oh, I remember I used to have a product like this a few years ago!" Predicting trends may not be easy, but it is important to look back at the past to see what inspires reinvention of older concepts or ingredients, for example today's bb creams, mineral makeup and the nail art craze. While reinvention is based on updating beloved product concepts, one factor to consider when developing new beauty products (or a new brand) is the shift in the cultural and economic climate. What will the face of the future consumer look like, and what are their expectations in terms of beauty product performance and presentation?
PBA CEO Round-Table: The Indie Brands
Sunday July 14th
4:00pm to 5:30pm
Jolie Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
The professional distribution channel focused on the salon sector is once again showing signs of growth -according to PBA the professional haircare industry shipments in 2012 grew by 2.2% (through June 2012). Opportunities are ripe for innovative brands to develop distribution and make a dent in the marketplace. This panel will feature key decision makers from independent professional salon brands who will share insights on how they were able to build their distribution platforms and how they compete in the marketplace with the large multi-national brands and their large advertising and promotional warchests.
It's All in the Details: A Legislative Update
Monday July 15th
11:00am to 12:30pm
Jolie Classroom
Complimentary access to all show attendees
Now more than ever there is state and federal activity that could potentially involve your business. For years the world of beauty was untouched by active legislation but that has dramatically changed and escalated over the past 3 years. A change in the current laws will impact everyone working in the industry – manufacturers of private label, contract manufacturers, suppliers and distributors in all facets of the industry. To protect the interests of the industry the top 3 beauty associations – ICMAD, PBA and PCPC - have elected to collaborate to allow the industry to have one voice and take a front line approach. This is a session that will have meaningful take away content and help you to best understand areas to plan for and address for your own business.
The Next Phase Of Online Marketing: The Smart Phone Mobile Platform
Monday July 15th
11:00am to 12:30pm
Bella Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
There are 400 million mobile devices in the US and 307 million consumers… $100 billion was spend on mobile media globally in 2012. The phone is an intensely personal device presenting a great opportunity to brands for personalization and engagement. Online viewership is now moving from personal computers to smart mobile phones. As this shift is taking place and more consumers are now accessing the internet via their smart phones, companies focused on the online space need to adapt to this new dynamic. What are the applications and opportunities for beauty brands to integrate in-store experience, education and service with technology? From the format / design perspective to customizing content for on the go consumption where small 'snackable' bites of information resonate the most, what are the issues marketers and e-tailers need to consider? There will be a presentation of FIT's capstone research "Beauty in a Digital World: Digital Commerce" including business imperatives, innovative new business models and future projections for Digital Commerce.
Cut to the chase: Create a successful online strategy
Monday July 15th
1:00pm to 2:30pm
Jolie Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
The notion of online marketing and engagement has changed for many brands whereby shifting the marketing focus to digital is no longer a necessity for being considered 'hot' but rather it has become a valuable asset in their marketing tool kit assuming that all the elements can be integrated authentically into the brand's personality and global marketing strategy. Each channel used for online marketing has a different strategic purpose, different ROI considerations, and should be measured differently in terms of contribution to the brand. Not every brand can and should use every aspect of Social and Digital Media; learn how to reframe conversations, budgets and efforts around social online strategy based on the company's objective rather than the following the latest online fad. There will be a presentation of FIT's capstone research on "Beauty in a Digital World: Digital Marketing" including business imperatives, innovative new business models and future projections for Digital Marketing.

Monday July 15th
2:00pm to 3:30pm
Bella Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
The spa market continues to experience sluggish growth yet the potential is there for companies to grow a presence into this important market segment. What are the keys to success – is there a checklist that companies must review and follow in order to gain meaningful distribution and clout into this sector.

The US Multicultural Market: African American Beauty
Monday July 15th
4:00pm to 5:30pm
Jolie Classroom
$40 non-members | $30 PBA members ($10 extra after June 14)
A first of its kind on the international platform of Cosmoprof – a candid round-table with and about the multicultural players and the state of the industry. The multicultural market is very nuanced and segmented with many stereotypes being used as part of marketing campaigns but is this segmentation still relevant and / or necessary in today's landscape where African-Americans make-up 14% and Latinos are 25% of the total US population. There is lots of attention put on the black hair industry; while the rest of the economy was sagging, black hair care achieved sales of $9 billion a year. This session is of particular interest to the retailers catering to this market segment especially the OTC community.

Tuesday July 16th
8:30am to 11:00am
Tour & Travel Lobby Mandalay Bay Hotel Lower Level
$150 non-members | $125 PBA members ($20 extra after June 14)
To use a simple analogy, fitting into a company's corporate culture is like buying a new pair of shoes. You want shoes that provide comfort, match your personal style, and last long enough to get you where you want to go. All companies have a corporate culture – if not actively nurtured the underlying existing culture is one you should immediately address as chances are its demoralizing your team. "Corporate Culture Eats Strategy for lunch" is an all telling famous line as all your strategies will not amount to much long term if the right culture is not in place. Folica's director of merchandising and long time employee will cover a few points that all key management should keep top of mind as the participants will be taken off-site to Zappos headquarters, a company known internationally for their corporate culture. You will be guided on a 60-minute tour of the Zappos Headquarters, be introduced to different departments, including their call center and become Zappos Royalty even if for a few brief moments. All tour participants get a goody bag and breakfast is included.

Behold! Jonathan Ive's Apple
With iOS 7 and the iPhone 5C, Apple signals that the company belongs not just to CEO Tim Cook, but also to its world-famous head of design.
Most of the talk has been about the design overhaul of the product, but really, the biggest change is not a product one, but a personnel one. The change not only affects this particular software update, but the identity of the company from here on out.
For the first time ever, Apple is releasing a software product that was led by the same person who leads industrial design: Jonathan Ive. And it's an integration that underscores how, increasingly, Apple is becoming Ive's company.
The public philosophy, of course, is the familiar gospel we hear about minimalism and simplicity, white plastic and brushed aluminum. "The internal one is around just doing what Jony wants to do," Rogers said.
After a much-publicized executive shakeup in 2012, former iOS software chief Scott Forstall was famously ousted, and his duties taken over by Ive. Craig Federighi, who previously only led development for Mac OS, also took the engineering lead on iOS. The dustup between Ive and Forstall had been brewing for years, but it all came to a head after the release of the last iOS, when the newly designed Maps app tanked with users and got panned by the press. Cook issued an apology, and when Forstall refused to sign the letter, it "[sealed] his fate at Apple," Fortune reported.
The main design contention, though, had to do with the practice of skeuomorphism -- a design approach in which software interfaces mimic the look of real world objects. Forestall, a huge proponent of the practice, along with the late Steve Jobs, believed skeuomorphism was a necessary part of getting users acclimated to a digital software environment. That's why the Game Center app was meant to look like the green felt of a poker table, and the Notes app resembled a yellow legal pad.
Ive joined Apple in 1992 and became head of the company's industrial design department in 1996, the year before Jobs returned to the company after being forced out a decade earlier. The duo's first breakthrough project together was the iMac, the colorful desktop computer that first made people take notice of Apple as a design company. Ive would go on to lead the design teams that created Apple's most seminal work, from the MacBook to the iPhone to the iPad. He was knighted at Buckingham Palace in May 2012.
Jobs told his biographer Walter Isaacson that Ive had "more operational power" than anyone at Apple besides Jobs himself. Sure, it's unclear whether that's still true since Cook took the reins as CEO after Jobs stepped down two years ago. But what does seem clear is that it probably doesn't matter. As CEO, Cook is the face, the logistical leader, and -- unfortunately for him -- the occasional scapegoat for the company, but Ive is in charge of the heart and soul of Apple.
"Apple is a company that's very driven by an internal compass," said Robert Brunner, founder of the design firm Ammunition. Brunner also founded Apple's industrial design department and hired a young Ive. "What always makes really great stuff is when there is someone or a small group of people with the power to drive it. With Steve gone," Brunner continued. "I think [Ive] has taken that role."
"He's not just as important as Cook, but potentially more important," said Chuck Jones, founder of Sand Hill Insights, a technology research firm. He mentioned Cooks' comments during a conference call in April that the company has some important products slated to come out in the second half of this year and throughout 2014, which Ive is "obviously leading the charge on," said Jones.

Nowhere is that sensibility more apparent than with the iPhone 5C, the so-called "low-cost" iPhone introduced last week in Cupertino (though the company has thus far been mum about how the product is performing). Nevertheless, the phone comes in a slew of colors that compliment the brighter hues of iOS 7's color palette. "You can see it in the new product. [The software interface and hardware] weren't designed in bubbles. It feels like a family," said Rogers.
But there's a caveat to the argument that Apple is Ive's company, and it's more sentimental than literal: to many, Apple will always be Jobs' company. "It really came from his heart," said Abigail Sarah Brody, a former Apple designer whose office was around the corner from Jobs'. "We designers -- and I consider Steve Jobs a designer -- are very sensitive to visual impressions. And in the end, Steve knew both worlds [hardware and software] so he made sure they related to each other."
Jobs called Ive his "spiritual partner" at Apple, which seems to imply a yin and yang relationship -- the quiet, sensitive Ive complementing Jobs, the sometimes brash natural showman.
But perhaps the most convincing declaration that we are in the midst of a new Ive-led Apple comes from Ive himself. In the promotional video introducing iOS 7, Ive waxes poetic about the new design of the product. At the end of the video, he concludes: "With what we've been able to achieve together, we see iOS 7 as defining an important new direction, and, in many ways, a beginning."
Much has been written about how Apple has lost the ability to innovate. And Cook is often the brunt of all the jokes (brilliant as they are). But Ive was always the closest one to the Jobs aura, not Cook. So next time we ask the tedious question, "Can Apple still innovate?" -- and believe me, we will -- we might instead look to Ive for the answer.

NASHVILLE — Republican challenger Jim Tracy remains far ahead in the money race in Tennessee's 4th Congressional District GOP primary with a better than four-to-one advantage over incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Desjarlais, according to quarterly campaign finance reports.
Meanwhile, Tracy, a state senator from Shelbyville, called Desjarlais "desperate" after the congressman's campaign fired a shot at Tracy's pre-announcement event in Murfreesboro last December, calling it a "$100,000 pancake breakfast."
Tuesday was the deadline for congressional candidates to report their third quarter fundraising results covering the period from July 1 to Sept. 30.
The Federal Election Commission was largely shuttered due to the fight in Washington over the federal government shutdown and a looming default on U.S. borrowing. But both campaigns released their bottom line figures.
Tracy said he raised $181,721 during the three-month period with Desjarlais reporting $113,249. Tracy reported having $767,000 in the bank as of Sept. 30 while the congressman, a South Pittsburg physician, said he had $171,000.
Shane Reeves, Tracy's campaign finance chairman, said the fundraising figures "continue to show momentum." More importantly, he noted, the more than 1,200 individual donors show rising support for Tracy across the district.
Desjarlais' campaign said in a statement the congressman "met his fundraising goals and his campaign is on track to have all the resources needed to win in 2014."
But even as the embattled congressman announced his quarterly campaign finances, his campaign took a double-fisted jab at Tracy over both his fundraising and the December constituent event.
"Senator Tracy has certainly been campaigning full-time and has taken advantage of his special interest connections," the Desjarlais campaign said in the statement. "However, he is going to need all the money he can get if his plan is to buy this election with $100,000 pancake breakfasts."
Retorted Tracy at a noncampaign event in Murfreesboro: "That's the sign of a desperate campaign."
Mike Hart, a former Franklin County Republican Party chairman and Desjarlais supporter, is questioning whether money Tracy spent from his state Senate account for the December event and other activity really was intended to boost his upcoming race against DesJarlais, which was announced in early January.
But Tracy says the Dec. 22 Murfreesboro pancake breakfast was designed to introduce himself to new constituents in his redrawn state district as well as benefit the Toys for Tots program.

Esoteric Materials in Esoteric Speakers
I went into the Esoteric room to take a listen to the digital components that build on the performance of the excellent SA-60 universal player that graced our October cover. But my attention was drawn to a pair of elegant loudspeakers sporting the Esoteric name. The Mg20 floorstander ($8410/pair) and bookshelf Mg10 ($5500/pair plus stands) feature tweeters and woofers fabricated from the very light metal magnesium, which is said to have an optimal combination of stiffness and self-damping. It has not been previously used in speakers (other than in alloys) because it degrades with exposure to the air. However, Esoteric collaborated with a British company to develop an effective protective coating.
The Esoteric speakers use a trapezoid-plan cabinet, ClarityCaps in the crossover, and van den Hul internal wiring, and are assembled by Tannoy in Scotland. Esoteric is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. With products like these new Mg-series speakers, it looks as if they will be around at least another 20 years.

Something heavyââ¬â¢s going down between Samuel Colt and Alessio Romero, making them tussle with each other. Itââ¬â¢s pure sexual tension that has both men scuffling for domination. But the two studs look pretty well matched as they manhandle the other with fierce, bold moves. Theyââ¬â¢re rough, tough and confident as they slowly but surely make their lusty desires known. The excitement between them is palpable as they punch, kiss, grapple and grope each other. Alessio goes down on Samuelââ¬â¢s cock and quickly sucks it down his gullet. But Samuel turns out to be the more assertive and forceful competitor as he hungrily fellates, rims, then fucks Alessio into total submission, reducing him to a moaning vessel for him to lavishly spooge on.

Review by Bill D. -
Price Value Quality
The S2 I purchased (again, used) and it does have a few issues which need to be addressed. It's becaused it's an experenced stationary bicycle, it needs things such as cleaning, lubing, adjusting, and a few parts.
This is the reason for this review, it's for the customer service. Here's the suprising part. I called LifeSpan on a Saturday. They are not there on the weekends. As reqested, I left a message and the recording said someone will call the next business day. AND they did, Monday morning at 8 AM or so.
I ordered the parts directly from LifeSpan. They were great, customer service was Outstanding. They made suggestions, and I was even sent 2 different manuals directly into my email, for free. The cost for the parts were minimal ($[...] total, with shipping.) I feel that just the customer service alone will eventually have me buying a new stationary bike LifeSpan Fitness S2 Indoor Cycling Bikein the future, from LifeSpan.
Once I get everything fixed up, cleaned up, and tightend up, I will let you know how this works out. -

Pork Tenderloin with Zesty Italian Sauce Recipe
We like to serve this dish with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh green beans or buttery corn on the cob. —Joe Vince, Port Huron, Michigan
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 8 slices
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup zesty Italian salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown pork, about 2 minutes on each side; remove from the pan.
- Add wine to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by about half. Stir in dressing. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Return pork to pan; simmer, covered, for 3-5 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°. Stir in butter. Let pork rest for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.

Q: Have you ever head of an imaginary animal that has longer legs on one side of its body so it can easily walk on steep slopes? — K.K.J., Malvern, Ark.
A: In some areas of North America, the legendary creature is known as a sidehill gouger. In Vermont, you would be talking about the wampahoofus. The first mention of these creatures in America dates to the mid-1800s. In parts of Europe, there are legends of the gyascutus and the dahu. The creature is variously known as a wowser, gudaphro, hunkus, prock and gwinter.
Q: Is there a time frame for the Old West? — C.L., Bennington, Vt.
A: No. The time period of the Old West is vague, though it's generally thought to be the latter part of the 1800s, possibly after the Civil War to the turn of the century.
Q: When a person is drugged by putting something in his drink, why is it called a "Mickey Finn"? — J.W.J., Minersville, Pa.
A: No one knows for sure, but one popular explanation involves a former bartender. The term "Mickey Finn" originated at a Chicago bar called the Lone Star Saloon and Palm Garden Restaurant, where a man named Mickey Finn worked. He had a practice of drugging his patrons with chloral hydrate and robbing them. Before becoming a manager of the Lone Star Saloon, Finn was a known pickpocket who usually victimized drunks coming out of bars and saloons. The Lone Star Saloon and Palm Garden Restaurant was open from 1896 to 1903.
Q: Who was the first athlete to appear on a box of Wheaties? — K.R., Indianola, Iowa
A: New York Yankees slugger Lou Gehrig was the first athlete on a Wheaties box, appearing in 1934. The first image on the box was that of fictional character Jack Armstrong, "All-American Boy," who appeared earlier in 1934. Later that year, the first female depicted was aviator Elinor Smith.
For the following 24 years, the pictures appeared on the side of the box. It wasn't until 1958 that pictures were featured on the front — Olympic pole vaulter Rob Richards had that honor. By the way, basketball superstar Michael Jordan has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 times; golfer Tiger Woods has appeared 14 times.
Q: Has any American president ever been a prisoner of war? — R.B., Spring Hill, Fla.
A: Yes. Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was a prisoner of war. Jackson was 13 when he joined the South Carolina militia to serve as a courier in the Revolutionary War. In 1779, the British captured him. When Jackson refused to clean the boots of a British officer, the officer slashed at him with a sword, leaving scars on his left hand and head, as well as an intense hatred for the British.
Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was born in 1767 and died at the Hermitage in Nashville, Tenn., in 1845.
Q: Is singer Tony Bennett married? Does he have any children? — H.B., Alturas, Ga.
A: Anthony Dominick Benedetto was born Aug. 3, 1926, in Astoria, N.Y.
In 1952, Bennett married Patricia Beech. Several thousand women dressed in black and gathered outside St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City in mock mourning of his marriage. The couple had two sons, D'Andrea (Danny) and Daegal. They separated in 1965 and divorced in 1971. Bennett married Sandra Grant in 1971. They had two daughters, Joanna and Antonia. They separated in 1979 and divorced in 2007. In 2007, Bennett married Susan Crow.

Last year Econsultancy published an article claiming that some businesses doubt the value of personalisation.
Although 94% of companies agree that personalisation 'is critical to current and future success' less than half of companies are personalising their website experience.
This isn't because they think personalisation is unimportant, but because they don't actually know how to make the most of it.
However, even the smallest of companies can target their consumers directly using personalised content.

The phrase of the day is 'Big Data', everyone talks about how it can boost your business and make you a successful organization.
But how can big data help a small business? Can you still use it to drive decisions and optimize your business?
The answer is: yes you can! In this post I will provide a few tips that can help SMBs to get up and running with data analytics.

Let me tell you, it's more than just the excellent doge.
Last year I started writing for the Econsultancy blog and it's allowed me to go to a lot of cool conferences and learn about some new things, from Google Glass to big automated email and CRM systems.
Here are some of the things that stuck in my mind from last year and perhaps a few things you might not know about digital and the interweb.
For regular followers of our interweb anti-format post (crazy stuff from across the web), don't worry, it will return next week.

Yesterday I was invited to the UK launch of a new personalised video platform, created by Dutch company Rednun.
Rednun claims that if you want the biggest impact possible for the maximum number of people, you can't do it by producing just one video and uploading it on a shared video platform. You need to personally tailor each video for every individual viewer.
The user provides their personal information to a company, the company provides that database of customer information to a production company. The production company creates a video specifically for every customer, providing maximum relevance and complete personalisation.
Rednun claims the rewards are higher conversion rates, brand loyalty, visibility and engagement rates.
I'm naturally skeptical of most things, especially in terms of the technology needed to achieve mass personalisation and the above goals promised by the company, so here's a rundown of the presentation with a few of my own thoughts peppered throughout for balance.

In late 2012, Econsultancy published the latest edition of its Marketing Attribution Management Buyer's Guide, at a time when attribution was a particularly hot topic for marketers.
Vendors were furiously marketing their attribution platforms, and there were blog posts galore on the subject. Since then, talking about attribution, particularly in the same breath as the dreaded term 'big data', appears to have gone somewhat off the boil.
Or so I thought, before attending a recent Econsultancy roundtable on the subject of marketing attribution, where discussion and debate was as lively as I have seen at a roundtable.

Advertising on the internet and mobile has increased by 17.5% to £3.04bn in the first half of 2013 according to the IAB, an increase of £607m compared to 2011.
Analytics has played a key role in this growth by helping marketers accurately measure return-on-investment (ROI) and justify reallocating traditional media budget to digital marketing. However, with the amount of data now available to digital marketers via analytics, they're in danger of becoming data squirrels that hoard data but do nothing with it.
There aren't enough analysts in the world or hours in the day to manually analyse all the available data, and crucially, turn it into actions which optimise revenue outcomes.

First off, what is it?
Well don't let anyone tell you it's down to sample size, or about measuring everything. It's about combining datasets (sometimes 'dirty' ones), contrasting them in different ways, and doing it as quick as possible.
Sometimes this necessitates great computing power, but not always. You can read more about such technology as Hadoop and GreenPlum in this nice little article).
Datasets are multiplying as we measure lots more than we used to. This means our thinking has to broaden – no longer is 'what can we do with our database of email addresses?' the question, rather 'what data can we look at to give us the best idea possible of a customer's stage in the buying cycle and what they'll be receptive to next?'
The definition of big data isn't really important and one can get hung up on it. Much better to look at 'new' uses of data.
So, here's some examples of new and possibly 'big' data use both online and off-.

Richard Branson's Virgin empire incorporates a broad range of brands and companies that take in travel, TV, music and spaceships.
All these disparate businesses have their own websites, but the overall corporation is represented by Virgin.com.
This site has undergone a huge transformation in the past 10 years, morphing from a simple web portal into a content-rich site that aims to epitomise the Virgin brand experience.
At Econsultancy's JUMP conference last week, which formed part of the Festival of Marketing, Virgin's Bob Fear described how the site was redesigned by the content team working hand-in-hand with data scientists.
Fear's team consists of journalists and writers, so the thought of working with big data appeared somewhat confounding at first.

"Tread softly," say players on Insane Paintball's outdoor forts course. No matter how careful you are on the ground, opponents likely lurk atop the field's 14 one- and two-story buildings, waiting to strike on the unsuspecting players below. More buildings tower above the wooded field, where teams can take cover behind mounds and old, paint-splattered cars. On the facility's regulation field, meanwhile, only inflatables stand between you and incoming pellets.
Those pellets fire from Insane Paintball's semi-automatic rental guns, part of gear packages that include face masks and compressed-air bottles. Snacks await players after long stretches of recreational, scenario, or tournament games, as do shopping sprees inside an on-site 3,500-square-foot retail store. Besides stocking new gear, the store hosts certified technicians, who repair malfunctioning equipment such as guns that only let players load crayon nubs.
Over the course of Winners Circle's 12 years of entertaining those young and old, families have raced around go-kart tracks, practiced putts on mini-golf greens, and zapped each other with lasers. They've also been able to race against each other, the clock, and Christopher Lloyd in running shorts in the Time Freak obstacle race, and more recently, have been able to perfect their swings in indoor and outdoor batting cages. For birthday parties, families can take advantage of a party room, arcade tokens, and pizza from Papa John's.
Adventures Unlimited lies just past the official boundary of the Blackwater River State Forest and takes advantage of its position by dedicating itself to outdoor excursions. In the five-hour Ultimate Zip Adventure conducted by Zip Adventures, groups of up to eight soar 40 feet above Coldwater Creek's sugar-white sandbars and surrounding forest. Along the way, 14 observation platforms provide access to up to 900-foot ziplines that overlook the rugged terrain. The trip culminates in a climb up a massive spiral staircase to the final launching pad, from which one can see Coldwater Creek meander through the entire forest, forming oxbow lakes and flawless cursive zs. As they glide through the canopies, zipliners might catch a glimpse of the many canoes and kayaks that journey through Coldwater Creek. After arming themselves with a paddle and mounting their floating steed, kayakers impart on 4-, 7-, or 11-mile treks down the river.Between outdoor adventures, many guests at Adventures Unlimited might venture to nearby Milton to eat or gather supplies. Fishing is allowed in Coldwater Creek—home to large-mouth bass, catfish, and pickerel—for those with valid Florida fishing licenses. At night, Adventures Unlimited converts its game field into a planetarium, and stars and constellations shine undisturbed in the rural sky.

Millions of Americans each year face a serious illness and rely heavily on family caregivers to help them recover from or manage this illness. More than half of these caregivers also have full time jobs. California's Paid Family Leave Law provides families a way to meet both their work and care responsibilities. With a total of six weeks per year of partially paid leave, families can focus on critical eldercare needs: caring for someone in the terminal stages of an illness or during a health crisis; helping a loved one make the transition from hospital to home; arranging in-home or out-of-home care; organizing a team to care for a parent in a distant town; arranging for and attending medical appointments; managing medications; and numerous other activities of daily life that a formerly independent family member can no longer perform.
When they return to work, these employees are then more able to concentrate on their jobs--a benefit to both employer and employee. As the wave of Baby Boomers rapidly moves into the position of either needing care or providing it to a frail or elderly parent, as hospital stays are shortened and families are called upon more and more to provide intensive healthcare to loved ones, as women--the traditional caregivers—maintain positions in the workplace and two-income families find it difficult to meet everyday financial obligations, the importance of California's groundbreaking Paid Family Leave Law is clear. Paid Family Leave is the right law at the right time. Family Caregiver Alliance applauds the California legislature and State Senator Sheila Kuehl for initiating this essential legislation.
Established in 1977, Family Caregiver Alliance is one of the largest and oldest organizations in the US devoted solely to caregivers. Its pioneering programs--information, education, services, research and advocacy--support and sustain the important work of families and friends caring for loved ones with chronic, disabling health conditions. FCA and its National Center on Caregiving offer programs at local, state and national levels. Visit www.caregiver.org or call (800) 445-8106 for more information.

The Z is a hip boutique in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens. Stylish rooms have dark grey accent walls with funky murals, floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping Manhattan views, and tons of fun details. The attractive, industrial-chic lounge is the meeting point for guests day and night, and offers a solid drinks and tapas menu well into the evening. The hotel's location (a short walk from seven subway lines and one stop on the E train from Midtown); outstanding freebies (Wi-Fi, hourly shuttle to and from Manhattan, loaner bikes, and phone calls); and reasonable rates (cheaper than Manhattan hotels) make it a great value. It's a chic option for those who don't mind staying in a quieter part of the city.
With a world-class gym and spa, plus dozens of customized amenities, the all-suites Dumont is a phenomenal option if you're looking for an urban spa getaway. More than that, it's an excellent high-end choice in general as long as you don't mind being a bit of a hike away from NYC's main tourist haunts.
This 48-room boutique hotel in the middle of the Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood makes up for its slim offering of amenities with delightfully modern rooms, balconies, and free breakfasts. Rooms have contemporary decor in shades of white, blue, and brown, modern technology, and Egyptian cotton linens; glass-walled bathrooms are sleek but small, and lack privacy (they're not separated from the rest of the room). The affordable rates may be the biggest draw -- rooms at this outer borough gem are around half the price as similarly stylish options in Manhattan.
The Condor is a solid mid-range hotel offering more affordable rates than other comparable Brooklyn properties. Rooms are fairly spacious and contemporary -- with flat-screen TVs, balconies and plush beds -- and all feature a kitchenette with a microwave, a mini-fridge and a sink. There's not much in the way of amenities, but freebies such as continental breakfast and Wi-Fi, and discounted rates for Zipcar rental cars parked next door, add value. Just note that the subway is quite a hike from the hotel through an unattractive area, and that the neighborhood is not within walking distance of the Brooklyn action.
The Wyndham Garden Chinatown is a modern mid-range chain hotel in the heart of bustling Chinatown. Though the hotel is a trek from traditional sights in midtown, it's within easy walking distance of trendy bars and restaurants in Chinatown and on the Lower East Side. Its 106 guest rooms are small but contemporary, and some come with outdoor terraces that look out onto the city.
Steps from Central Park and five subway lines, the 807-room Hudson has a prime location. But beyond its surreal, Philippe Starck design and four scenester bars, it's actually a remodeled Y.M.C.A. with very tiny rooms. For bigger rooms, check out 6 Columbus.
The 203-room Manhattan Centre Hotel is the slightly older sister property to the Jewel Hotel a few doors down. Like its neighbor, the hotel's biggest draw is its prime Midtown location, across the street from Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. Rooms tend to be a bit dark, but are but clean and modern, with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. A small but modern fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and access to the members-only Terrace Club help make this a good value.
A hip hotel in an unhip neighborhood. The meticulously curated, vintage-inspired design will be a turn-off for some -- the Ace doesn't aspire to most conventional notions of luxury -- but the property is as cool, comfortable, and inviting in its own way as any fancy downtown hipster boutique. Rooms are a bit small, and in some cases dark. But service is solid and the rates are usually very fair.
On The Ave re-opened as the NYLO New York City in October 2013. We will update our review as soon as we can.
Former boutique hotel joins the Marriott big leagues; excellent beds, great service, and attention to functionality means an easy stay in Midtown East, near Bloomingdale's and other major shopping destinations. The neighborhood doesn't have much nightlife, but the on-site Opia bar is pretty happening.

George Stevens, (born December 18, 1904, Oakland, California, U.S.—died March 8, 1975, Lancaster, California), American motion-picture director known for his films exhibiting brilliant camera techniques and a romanticized view of life.
© 1936 RKO Radio Pictures Inc.Both of his parents were actors, and Stevens was the stage manager of his father's company until 1921, when he went to Hollywood to become a cameraman. He filmed many of the early Laurel and Hardy two-reel comedies and earned a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship. Six years after he directed his first picture, Stevens achieved fame with Alice Adams (1935) and Annie Oakley (1935). A series of comedies followed, including Swing Time (1936), a musical with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire; Vivacious Lady (1938); Woman of the Year (1942); The Talk of the Town (1942); and The More the Merrier (1943).
© 1956 Giant Productions, courtesy of Warner Bros.; photograph, Culver PicturesStevens's later films were praised for effective camera work and overall visual composition, for the careful integration of music and visuals, and for the skillful handling of sentimental themes. Although I Remember Mama (1948), his first postwar picture, idealized the past, it is praised for its realistic background and emotional restraint. He won the Academy Award for best directing for A Place in the Sun (1951), a screen adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy, and again in 1956 for Giant. He is also remembered for Shane (1953), a western now considered a classic; The Diary of Anne Frank (1959); and The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965). His last film was The Only Game in Town (1969).

Why is a dwg opening with layers looking all white on one pc but open up with colored layers on another pc?
Whenever i open certain drwings on my laptop the layers show normal colors, but when a client opens up the same drawing, they only see the graphics in white. it does not happen all the time but occassionally it does and it drives people crazy as we cannot find the issue. Thanks for any assistance with this issue.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please send me your email and i'll get a copy to you. Thanks!
I responded they way I did because the client needed to give me permission to release this drawing for those in the discussion group to review. What i have since found out that may shed some light is that in AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical 2011 it shows up fine, when it is opened in 2012 or 2013 the graphics show up white AND the line weights show up as whatever the default is (LWDEFAULT = 25). 2011 has this set as well but is clean looking in that version.
i hope is sparks someone's memory. Thanks in advance.
>> when it is opened in 2012 or 2013 the graphics show up white AND
>> the line weights show up as whatever the default is
Tried it with (plane) AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 ==> none of the objects or layers are white, all geometry has it's (visible) line-weight.
May be it's not AutoCAD alone, but only as Electrical-vertical showing this symptoms?
- alfred -
I opened it with 2013 Electrical, no problem. Got to be the graphic card fault.
The attached gif is similar to what shows up when I open the drawing in 2012 or 2013. I opened it both in base AutoCAD and Electrical with the same results. 2011 AutoCAD or Electrical shows it as a clean looking drawing.
I am using the same laptop so the graphics card as another post suggests would apparently be a non-issue unless 2012 and 2013 are needing a heavier duty graphics card. One other thing, it doesn't happen on all drawings in a set, it only happened to a few. It may be a setting in 2011 is being interpreted differenly in 2012 or 2013.
The jpg you attached is the same as what I get on some of the drawings. Most are all white with the line weight of hte graphics showing up extra thick versus having the graphics showing up with all thin lines. It seems that in 2011 is doesn't matter the default line weight or the line weight of the layer, they all turn up nice and clean whereas in 2012 and 2013 the graphics are a lot thicker making for a poor print out. I'm sure it's something really easy and i am just missing it but as they say, two heads are better than one.
ok, start _PAGESETUP when you have opened the drawing. Then you will see that you have assigned a plotstyle-table and you have set "show plotstyles".
As long as the system does not find the MOM2006.ctb you will all see in color. But when this CTB is found you see what the CTB converts on display.

Even though the "Mass Save Great Appliance Exchange" ran out of $5.5 million in rebate reservations in a matter of hours on April 22, the state plans to give consumers another chance at savings this summer, according to a statement from the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
The rebates are aimed at getting energy-consuming appliances out of service and more energy-efficient ones into the hands of consumers.
Those who managed to get on the wait list for rebates last week will also see their rebate reservations filled, the state said.
Under the program, consumers had to get a reservation on a first-come, first-served basis before they could get a rebate on a dishwasher, clothes washer, refrigerator or freezer. Residents then snatched up 26,556 rebate reservations within two hours of the program's launch at 10 a.m., despite snags with the program's website and phone lines. The state also plans to fund all 12,731 wait-listed reservations.
"We are going to do a second round of energy appliance rebates in the summer," said Lisa Capone, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. Details have yet to be announced, Capone said.
The rebates of $50 to $250 were paid for by federal stimulus money. The wait list and further rebates this summer will be paid for with proceeds from the auction of carbon allowances under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Utility company funds for energy efficiency will also pay for the rebates, the state says.
Also, consumers who made either normal or wait-list reservations have until May 12 to make a purchase and have their old appliances picked up for recycling. All paperwork must be submitted by June 26.
Danvers reaches out to Osram to brighten Dunn wing of DHS
A massive, nearly $80 million school building project means Danvers will have to convert the Dunn wing of Danvers High into a high school for the next two school years.
In looking at what the building needs, the Danvers Department of Public Works struck on the bright idea of approaching Danvers-based Osram Sylvania to help improve lighting inside.
The Dunn Wing of the high school was last used as a middle school in 2005, though its bottom floor was temporarily used as Town Hall last year. Department of Public Works Director David Lane said a walk-through of the wing showed it needs to be "re-lamped."
Since the town plans to tear down the Dunn wing to make way for the rest of the high school project, renovations have to be done in a way that is both cost-effective and provides a good space for students.
That's where Osram Sylvania may be able to help. School Committee member Jean McCartin told the School Committee April 12 the town was talking with the company about improving lighting there. School officials say DPW Buildings Supervisor Robert Levasseur reached out to the company, the North American subsidiary of Osram GmbH of Germany, which is part of Siemens AG. Osram Sylvania is also one of Danvers' largest employers.
"Osram Sylvania is reviewing this request and is committed to supporting the communities where we operate our businesses," said Stephanie Anderson, the company's head of public relations and chief corporate spokesperson, in an e-mail.
Lane said the request is in its preliminary stages, and Osram Sylvania has provided information about the best type of lamp the town could use.
PerkinElmer's Salem facility honored for reducing toxic chemicals
PerkinElmer's illuminations facility in Salem was recognized April 22 by the state's Toxics Use Reduction Act program and state lawmakers for reducing the use of toxic materials in its production, according to a press release.
Waltham-based PerkinElmer is among 17 companies being honored as leaders by the Toxics Use Reduction Act program. The act was passed in 1989. PerkinElmer, which employs 8,500 worldwide, is being hailed as a "TURA 20th Anniversary Leader."
"By paying close attention to details, PerkinElmer's Salem facility has achieved significant reductions in chemicals use," said Pam Eliason, industry research program manager of the Toxics Use Reduction Institute at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in a prepared statement. "In fact, this facility has spearheaded much of PerkinElmer's corporate movement toward sustainable practices."
The Salem facility, which presently employs 160 people, started reporting its use of chemicals in 1990, and has since cut its use of reportable solvents by 90 percent.
"By re-evaluating our cleaning operations and employing classic toxics use reduction analyses, we have been able to significantly reduce our use of acids and other cleaning chemicals," said Susan Lynn Marallo, environmental health and safety, and facilities manager at Perkin-Elmer, in a prepared statement. The facility has also reduced its electrical demand by half and its water usage by 80 percent.
Cakes for Occasions fights breast cancer with whoopie pies
A small Danvers Square pastry shop is one of more than 150 restaurants, bakeries and cafes taking part in the 11th annual Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer event May 3 to May 9.
Cakes for Occasions, owned by pastry chef Kelly Delaney of Danvers, plans to sell breast cancer whoopie pies filled with pink-colored cream and pink breast cancer ribbon sprinkles.
To top it off, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit breast cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The pies cost $7.50 for a half- dozen and $14 for a dozen. The shop is at 57 Maple St., and the whoopie pies can also be ordered online at www.cakes4occasions.com.
Carol Brownman Sneider started Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer in 2000 in memory of her mother, Eva Brownman, who died from breast cancer at age 44 in 1973, leaving behind her two young daughters, including Brownman Sneider. The event has raised more than $370,000 for Dana-Farber.
Other North Shore participants include: A & J King Artisan Bakers, 48 Central St., Salem; Cassis Bakery, 261 Cabot St., Beverly; Not Your Average Joe's Beverly, 45 Enon St., Beverly; Pellana Prime SteakHouse, 9 Rear Sylvan St., Peabody; and Pellino's Ristorante and Bar, 261 Washington St., Marblehead.

First, the White House came calling. Now, it's the Harlem Globetrotters.
Omaha 9-year-old Bence Brown's award-winning tuna casserole has earned him more attention and fans. Count the famous basketball players among those fans.
The Globetrotters named Bence honorary captain at their Summer Skills Clinics here in Omaha.
Bence was a winner in the National Healthy Lunchtime Challenge with his "Terrific Tuna Casserole." That title earned him a trip to the White House to dine with first lady Michelle Obama. Then it gave him a chance to play and eat with the Globetrotters.
The Summer Skills Clinics are taking place in the Omaha area through July 20.
Bence was recognized at the clinic on Thursday. Before the clinic, the Globetrotters dined with Bence over a fresh platter of his special casserole.
In addition to teaching basketball in their clinics, the Globetrotters stress the importance of an active lifestyle and healthy eating. Bence's initiative to create a healthy recipe parallels the Globetrotters' philosophy.
Known as Ambassadors of Goodwill, the Globetrotters look for stories of amazing kids who spread their own goodwill and demonstrate traits like helping others, assisting in the community, outstanding teamwork and being positive role models.
