New Generation of Location Analytics
Business analytics have become mainstream in most organizations. Our latest research in technology innovation found analytics was the top-ranked technology in 39 percent of organizations. To deepen the sophistication of their analytics, businesses can add geographic context and maps to business intelligence applications to create what we call location intelligence. Applications and tools with a geographic and spatial context can help deliver new and deeper insights to business. Information about location or geography can improve the quality of actions, decisions and responses to opportunities, and enable organizations to understand more about their customers. It also can help companies gain critical business insights, make better decisions and optimize performance and processes. It can benefit marketing, customer acquisition and retention efforts; logistics and supply chain management; and financial and operational decisions, especially about where to place retail outlets, business assets and people in various functions.
While location analytics is not new, the heightened interest in actually doing something about it is, driven in part by the prevalence of mobile devices used for business and by the growing ability to analyze social media commentary and other expressions of customer sentiment.
Analysts across lines of business can gain more precise context and insight from location analytics to share with business professionals. Its use can support consumers' growing expectation of the availability of location-related information in their interactions with business and as part of their self-service access to information and applications. Location data can be made available to any role in an organization that needs it. Using just the geographic context of the analytics can help businesses align customers with the right individual or location for immediate service, either manually or through the use of automated workflow. Our research into operational intelligence found that using geographic or location context as part of analyzing relationships of events is important to 32 percent of organizations. By using this technology effectively, companies can save time and money, reduce business risk and increase profitability and competitive advantage.
Location analytics can complement your existing business intelligence (BI) or business analytics efforts. Our next-generation business intelligence benchmark research examined the importance of location and found that deployment of geographic maps was the most important benefit in 47 percent of organizations. Location analytics can deploy maps either by leveraging data and analytics within existing software or operating in parallel with it and utilizing the underlying data structures. For some organizations location analytics also should enrich the value of existing data within information management efforts by helping to facilitate geocoding or data quality efforts or providing new data that can be used with existing applications or tools. Advancements in the use of big data let business take advantage of a greater volume and velocity of data, and offer organizations a chance to support a wider range of business analytics and applications.
Yet our research shows a lot of room for improvement when it comes to location analytics deployment. Only 12 percent of organizations capture location data and use it in analysis. Another 15 percent capture it but do not use it, while almost a third (31%) plan to capture and use it.
I recommend that organizations identify their information assets, business processes and customer-facing applications that collect or contain geographic and location data, as well as those that would benefit from having location analytics capabilities, and then explore options offered by new tools to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. My colleague Tony Cosentino has already pointed out that location analytics is essential to adding value of business analytics and a key factor in our big data research agenda for 2013. If you are interested in gaining more depth on this topic, participate in our location analytics research. Help us explore the best practices and benefits for those using it today, and identify what needs to be improved in the technology.

History, politics can't keep Putin away from D-Day observance
Observances for D-Day have always been part memorial, part politics.
Charles de Gaulle, France's wartime leader-in-exile and postwar president, boycotted Normandy ceremonies because he was kept out of the 1944 invasion; Ronald Reagan turned the 40th anniversary, in 1984, into a Cold War morality play.
As a dwindling cast of veterans make their way to France for the 70th commemoration Friday, the semi-welcome guest is Russian President Vladimir Putin, representing a World War II ally, Cold War foe, post-Cold war friend-in-the-making and latter-day nemesis in the struggle over Ukraine.
Russia's leader made his first Normandy cameo in 2004, in the spirit of East-West reconciliation. France reinvited him to this year's beachhead ceremony and gave no thought to disinviting him after he annexed Crimea and massed forces on Ukraine's border, evoking the land grabs of yesteryear and European wars that ensued.

Japanese price and release date for the 3DS, Nintendo also cut its profit forecast by half for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. The company previously projected a net income of ¥200 billion ($2.39 billion), but now expects to bring in about ¥90 billion ($1.08 billion). In the previous fiscal year, the company added ¥230 billion (about $2.45 billion) to its money bin.
Nintendo claims the radical shift is due to stronger-than-expected yen appreciation, current sales, the sales outlook for the 2010 holiday, and the "decided release conditions for the Nintendo 3DS." Despite lowering overall DS hardware and software sales (of which the 3DS is a part) for the fiscal year, Nintendo expects to ship 4 million 3DS units by March 2011, along with 15 million games.

text: A Practical Guide for the NHS Stakeholder Engagement This guide explains the value of working with stakeholders and, using case studies from the ISIP Local Health Communities Demonstrator Programme, shows how consulting, listening and involving stakeholders has been key to the delivery of successful service transformation. Why Engaging Stakeholders In Service Transformation Matters What do we mean by Stakeholder Engagement? Principles of Patient and Public Involvement Stakeholders can be defined as any person or group of people who have an Identify and understand your stakeholders interest in, or will be affected by, any planned changes in an organisation or Local health Community. They can be internal or external to that Define who needs to be involved, who needs to be organisation or Local Health Community, and they can comprise staff, informed and who is likely to be affected by the patients, trade unions, MPs and members of the public issues under consideration Make sure all stakeholders are appropriately Stakeholder Engagement is a process by which an organisation / Local involved and ensure that your involvement activity Health Community learns about the perceptions, issues and expectations of its stakeholders, and uses these views to assist in managing, supporting and is relevant to your stakeholders' interests influencing any planned changes / improvements in service delivery Consider who is likely to be affected by the implications of the matter in hand. Stakeholder engagement is all about building relationships with people who you affect through your work, or who could make an impact on your success. It is the foundation of effective organisational responsibility, and refers to the Ref. The NHS Centre for Involvement formal management of the human dimensions of change. Why Stakeholder Engagement is important for successful service transformation? 'We must recognise that change is difficult, and as we have seen over recent months, can provoke powerful reactions from stakeholders. One of the clear findings from Sir Ian's work was that the NHS needs to be much better at engaging with stakeholders, including; the public and their representatives, patients and carers, clinicians and staff, MPs and a whole range of other stakeholders. The NHS needs to do more to ensure that stakeholders are actively engaged in developing proposals for change and also explaining the reasons behind any decisions that are made'. David Nicholson CEO Letter February 2007 There are tremendous benefits to be realised from improving stakeholder engagement in service transformation: It can increase the likelihood of the service transformation succeeding and minimises the risk of failure It provides access to a wide range of views, expertise, values and beliefs, which can be integrated into the service transformation programme Views can be incorporated into developing the case for change and in articulating both clinical and patient benefits.

Low High Interest Demonstrator Experience: Liverpool PCT Scheduled Care Programme Deliberative events Aim to involve people in the big decisions that will affect their lives. They are used to talk about issues where members of the public may not have a great deal of knowledge or information These events give people the chance to exchange ideas on important issues with each other and with people working in those services Deliberative events allow people a voice, whilst giving them all the facts they need to reach a fully informed opinion. Having equipped people with this information, people are then asked how they think things can change for the better. THE BIG HEALTH DEBATE 'Together we can deliver the world class services the people of Liverpool need and expect.' Began in the Summer of 2006 and lasted almost 12 months. A variety of methods were used to gain the views of the people of Liverpool which included a city-wide survey, visits to community groups, focus groups, multidisciplinary workshops for health and social care staff, road shows for health professionals and a deliberative event (Big Health Debate Live). Big Health Debate Live The results of the Big Health Debate have informed the Outside of Hospital Strategy which was published in July 2007 It was a one day workshop, which involved a 'we will speak with local people and other stakeholders and mixture of table top discussion and polling. listen to what they have to say about our proposals.

"Simple process to organise, it allowed direct access to the target population" • They designed The Big Question Week which was suggested by Croydon Voluntary Action as an approach to hear the direct voice of a "Limits the burden placed on health and population that standard PPI forums cannot easily reach social care staff" • The Big Question Week was an opportunity to hear directly from "Gave us the opportunity to target a wider people who are using health and social care services. It involved sector of the target population " requesting selected health and social care professionals to ask the same question to one patient and one carer who fit the target group "Limits the amount of resource required to and then to report the responses back. In this case the target group analyse and feedback results" was patients who were aware they were receiving End of Life Care and their informal carers (partners, siblings, friends, relatives, etc). "Patients and carers informed us of issues that they hadn't discussed with us before" • The aim was for 50 nurses to ask the question to about 100 patients and/or carers. It was agreed to send out a daily email alert to staff to remind them to ask the question. However due to e-mail problems reminders were delayed and as a result some people forgot and fewer people were consulted.

This new feature allows U.S.-based users to quickly obtain the most recent charts provided by NOAA and the USACE at no additional charge. U.S.-based users who have an Internet connection will be able to download the charts from the USACE and NOAA web-map servers with the click of a button. Both agencies have made their charts available for download, and HYPACK has made it easy to ensure users have the latest chart data. This is a two-step process:
1. Step One: Update ENC Catalog: HYPACK downloads the latest chart catalogs over the Internet from the NOAA and USACE map servers. This information is stored in the HYPACK 2014 folder.
2. Step Two: Add ENC Charts: HYPACK automatically downloads any NOAA S-57 Charts or USACE IENC Charts. It uses the extents of the HYPACK Map window and downloads any chart that has information inside that window. The charts are saved to the ACOE or NOAA subfolders under the \HYPACK 2014\Background folder.
In the figure below, HYPACK 2014 downloaded five charts from the NOAA S-57 chart server and one chart from the USACE IENC (ACOE) chart server. It automatically sorts the chart to place the ones with the most detail on the top of the display.
The Advanced menu item displays the Web ENC window which allows for more specific control over which charts are loaded. (By Lourdes Evans)

[quote:Anonymous Coward 1115794:MV8xMzAzNjM3XzIxNTkzMTEzXzY2RTI5MEI=] James McGaga, astronomer and former pilot... "Pilots are not trained observers; they're trained to fly airplanes. They are some of the worst people at identifying objects in the sky that aren't other airplanes. They're trained to react quickly in an airplane, which very often makes them to react to wrong stimuli." http://www.ufocasebook.com/coopertranscript.txt and at 5:00 into this video [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUdf8kRpLWs[/youtube] [/quote]

The following is a transcript of the communications between 2 flights over Cleveland Ohio, Air Shuttle 5959 and Masaba 3179 regarding a UFO that was spotted by both planes on February 28, 1996.

here is the actual dialog Transciption...
Click here
Air Shuttle 5959: Air Cleveland, this is 5959. We see traffic out there. Ah...twelve to one o'clock. Ah...low altitude. Do you have him on the radar?
Cleveland Control: Air Shuttle 5959, that's a negative. Sir, I don't have anything out in front of ya at twelve to one o'clock.
Air Shuttle 5959: Ok...
Cleveland Control: He's down well below you or can you get an estimate on an altitude on him?
Air Shuttle 5959: Well, that could be really difficult. Ah...we're between layers here. I'm just gonna estimate two-three thousand feet below us. Maybe and ah...sort of ah...pulsating light about, I don't know, ten miles out.
Cleveland Control: Ok, Air Shuttle 5959. I'll keep my eyes open. But I don't see anything.
Masaba 3179: Was that northwest of Detroit did you see that light?
Air Shuttle 5959: Yeah.
Masaba 3179: Yeah, that's where I saw it. A really bright white light, sometimes flickering...ah...underneath the clouds is where I saw it.
Cleveland Control: Air Shuttle 5959, is that traffic, ah...that you saw earlier? Do you see him out there any longer?
Air Shuttle 5959: Air Shuttle 5959, that's affirmative and it's a light that kinda...it goes dim and it gets bright. I don't know if we're getting closer to it or what? But it looks like a rotating light around it like ah...like a Frisbee type thing that's going around it.
Unknown voice: UFO.
Cleveland Control: Masaba 3179, do you see the same thing?
Masaba 3179: Ah...sir, I saw it coming out of Detroit and I wondered...ah...all I saw was just a couple really bright flashes of light and it almost looked like lightning and it caught my eye. And then I kept watching it and then it looked a little bit less bright. But it looked like it was underneath the cloud deck to me. And this was just as we were coming out of Detroit.
Cleveland Control: Ok, and can you get an altitude on it at all?
Masaba 3179: The light that I saw was just like, maybe, I don't know...twenty-five miles northwest of Detroit. Is it what you're referring to or you're talking about the light at our twelve o'clock now about ten miles?
Cleveland Control: Any kind of target off to your twelve o'clock?
Masaba 3179: Ah...we have some kind of white light out there at twelve o'clock and the captain ah...says it's pulsating. It looks like oncoming traffic. But it's just sitting about the same place that it's been the whole...here about ten or fifteen minutes we've been watching it.
Air Shuttle 5959: Year, Air Shuttle 5959. It looks like it's almost over Saginaw from our position.
Cleveland Control: Ok, Air Shuttle 5959. Contact Saginaw Approach Control 126.45. I appreciate the information.
Masaba 3179: 3179, that target looks like it's ah...below us. I would guesstimate maybe ten thousand feet.
Cleveland Control: Around ten thousand feet, would you think it might be like a reflection? Ah...maybe perhaps off a beacon that for some reason, it's just one of those weird things. Ah...natural phenomena that you're getting a reflection, cause I got nothing out there.
Masaba 3179: I don't know. I mean we can see a clear, you know, relatively solid cloud deck...ah...below us and this is definitely ah...distinct whitish ah...well, now it's looking a little red and greenish white, sort of pulsating light and it's consonant. It's not a beacon.
Air Shuttle 5959: Air Cleveland, Air Shuttle 5959.
Cleveland Control: Go ahead, sir.
Air Shuttle 5959: Yeah. Hey, be advised we're descending to four thousand feet right now and as we descend through ten thousand feet, that object is above us right now. It is not on the ground. It's about ten thousand feet.
Cleveland Control: Ok, sir. We're checking on it right now. I don't have anything out in front of ya at all I'm showing. I appreciate you coming back to the frequency and letting me know.
Air Shuttle 5959: I'll keep you advised. I tell you what that is weird. It keeps sitting there pulsating.
Cleveland Control: Masaba 3179, where is it relative to you right now?
Masaba 3179: Twelve o'clock sir.
Cleveland Control: I'm trying to do a little investigating as to what this might be. If you would keep me advised on this.
Masaba 3179: Ok, sir. I'm gonna blink my lights at him and see if I can get a reaction. 3179, was the other guy that saw that light was he headed southeast bound or was he headed to (garbled)?
Cleveland Control: Well, he was inbound to Saginaw and actually when I sent him over to Saginaw, I expected that was gonna be the last I heard from him. He came back up on the frequency and advised me that his clearance was down to four thousand and that he said that what he saw, was still up above him and was like a red...he said it was red and green light that was pulsing and like rotating. He said he would keep me advised and give us a report once he got into Saginaw. You don't have a camera on board, do ya?
Masaba 3179: We could probably get one from one of the passengers. You want us to ask?
Cleveland Control: Yeah, that would be kinda interesting to have a couple of pictures. I think...ah...might make our case a little better.
Masaba 3179: Ok, 3179, we got a passenger taking a picture of it right now and ah...we have a flight attendant who says that ah...they might have saw the same thing the other night.
Cleveland Control: Masaba 3179, I copy that. Ah...Masaba 3179, when you flashed your lights, did you get any response?
Masaba 3179: Didn't appear to, sir.
Cleveland Control: Ok, Masaba 3179, I'm gonna send you over to Minneapolis now sir. Is it still on your twelve o'clock?
Masaba 3179: Ah...negative sir. It's at about our two o'clock now. We ah...made a turn.
Cleveland Control: Ok, so it's off your right side about two o'clock. I'd sure be interested to see those pictures. Can I ah...get you an address that you might be able to send a copy, if you get a copy of them?
Masaba 3179: Yeah, sure. We can do that and actually we made a right turn and he's off about ten to eleven o'clock.
Cleveland Control: Ok, so he's off your left side. Ok.
Masaba 3179: Ok, thirty-two-nine. We'll see ya. I wonder if those pictures will show anything?
Masaba 3179: Air Cleveland, Masaba 3179.
Cleveland Control: Masaba 3179, go ahead.
Masaba 3179: I Just want you to know that I took a picture, as captain on the left side. I also took (unrecognizable) of some of the stars above, so the lowest light on those pictures. The only single light at the bottom of the picture should be ah...what you're looking at. And you might be able to get a position with the sky if you want to go that far.
Cleveland Control: Ok, great. Tat's a good idea, I appreciate that.
Masaba 3179: it was an instamatic camera. Good night sir.
Cleveland Control: Good night.

No, I see myself as a separate, disconnected individual. :) However, about the observed person (especially if he or she is in good form), I do think,"Good for him (or her)."
cjstraus 5 years
It definitely makes me want to exercise! I especially love it when I see celebrities who are fit working out.... so many celebrities act like they don't exercise and seeing the ones who are committed to exercise (jessica biel, gwen stephani, jennifer anniston) makes me feel like I can do it too. Like looking good isn't all just good genes but hard work too

Even if I've already worked out, if I see someone or pass a gym, I really want to work out!
arcticpuppet 5 years
it is definitely motivating to head out on a run or practice some yoga after I see someone working out.

Whenever I watch the show "Burn Notice" it makes me want to hit the gym, Gabriel Anwar's lean frame is awesome!

I got injured recently and had to really scale back my running so now I'm doing low-impact exercise like spin class, but every time I see somebody on the treadmill or running outside, I immediately feel envious. I want to be out there running, too!
lemamike 5 years
does seeing someone with a great body make me want to exercise? yes
kclulu 5 years
Absolutely. There was a print ad in a magazine I used to see where the perspective was a woman sitting in her car at a light on her way to work and another woman is running by and the caption says something about wishing that she had gone on her morning run. I do that all of the time when I see people exercising, I wish I could join in!

Not that I'm in horrible shape, but when I see someone like Melissa from So You Think You Can Dance, I think, "I want to look like her!" Even the short clip of her doing Pilates on Wednesday night's episode made me want to get a Pilates machine.
lilkimbo 5 years
Definitely! (Especially if said person is in really good shape; it makes me want to be in good shape, too!)

Totally. We were away at a wedding last weekend and as we were driving back along the West Side Highway I found myself envying the people I saw jogging along the Riverside Park path while I was cooped up in the car.

Back on the roost--Chicken Lady returns to Musikfest

Updated On: Aug 02 2013 11:44:23 AM CDT
Don't ruffle your feathers--she's back! A beloved figure is returning for the 30th anniversary of Musikfest!
The Musikfest Chicken Lady -- Pat Holetz-- will fly into Bethlehem this weekend for the first time in five years.
She'll meet visitors and lead the Chicken Dance as part of the anniversary celebration.
For more than two decades, Holetz donned the feathers of the Chicken Lady, serving as the festival's official ambassador.
In 2004 she flew the coop and retired to Florida.
She's one of 24 volunteers who have served at all 30 Musikfests, but she hasn't appeared as Chicken Lady since 2008.

The first thing everybody said to me at Margaret Thatcher's funeral on Wednesday was this: "We Brits do mourning very well, you know." It was as if they'd been drilled to repeat the mantra to all foreigners. But, nevertheless, on this occasion it was true.
I'm not sure it's appropriate to say it, but — from the moment everyone rose and applauded as the coffin was borne in, to the departure for its final journey — I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It was profoundly moving, of course (George Osborne wasn't the only one shedding a tear, believe me). But it was also an uplifting, sometimes downright funny celebration of her character and achievements, as well as being a serious religious rite. The orations were pitched so perfectly, putting her life into context and showing her witty and human side. The Bishop of London rightly said this was not a time for dwelling on the conflicting opinions of her politics but I was so glad to hear him nail the lie about her views on "society". Perhaps my only quibble was from the anarchist in me, which secretly hoped there would be more rioting and police action. That would have been quite a fitting send- off for Lady T — in death as in life.
End of an era
In an act of rebellion against his employers at the KGB, my father secretly sent me to a Church of England school here, St Barnabas and St Philip's in Kensington, when I was a boy — totally against the Soviet ethic. Those wonderful old hymns in St Paul's really took me back to those happy years. Mrs T was in the last days of her office when we arrived here but I still remember her constant presence on the news bulletins back in Moscow. Those recollections made it ever more moving to see her coffin leave at the end. The end of an era for all of us, whether we liked her or not. She may have divided opinion with her convictions, but she was this country's greatest leader since Churchill.
Standards everywhere
Gridlocked on my way to the service, I jumped out of the car and walked the last stretch. On the way I bumped into Aidan Barclay and then Conrad Black. How fitting, I thought, to be arriving at her funeral flanked by the former and current owner of Lady Thatcher's greatest broadsheet admirer, the Telegraph. That paper is one of the resilient survivors in our industry. But, as I walked along the Embankment after the funeral, I was delighted to see that nearly everybody was carrying the Evening Standard.
First steps on the job ladder
The day before, Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange, did us the great service of allowing apprentices on the Standard's Ladder for London scheme to open the day's trading. Opening the exchange, with its countdown and bright lights, was exciting, and it was so touching to chat to the four young apprentices, Anayat, Josh, Lloyd and Daniyal, who were just starting their second day of work there.
These youngsters, who had been struggling to get on to the jobs ladder, said it was a dream come true to get such a tremendous opportunity to start on a career. The digital world is putting massive pressure on newspapers but we still have the power, if not the duty, to campaign for causes that change people's lives for the better.
When it came to the speeches, I had the bad luck to be following Eddie Stride, the utterly charismatic head of our Ladder for London partner, the City Gateway charity in Limehouse. I say bad luck because Eddie is so inspiring every time he speaks that he's a nightmare act to follow! Seriously, though, his passion and commitment were exactly why we knew he was the ideal partner for our campaign. Eddie, you're the best.
Fleeing Stalin
I wrote last week about my grandmother Maria writing her autobiography and how extraordinary her life has been thus far: a real, living history of Russia over the past eight decades. Reading her book is like going on a voyage for our family through her life — some stories we'd heard before, but many we hadn't. She tells of how, when she was a little girl in 1937, she and her family fled Stalin's great purge on the day her father discovered he was on the list of Enemies of the People. "I sat in the body of the truck with the driver, my mother and our huge husky dog Jack. In the back, on top of our belongings, a gramophone was booming like a trumpet. My father loved music. He couldn't part with this invention, just like he couldn't part with Jack." They fled to a remote mountain range and stayed in a house there that they shared with many other families until the threat of arrest and the deadly labour camps eased. Others were not so lucky: "One day we went to Dmitrov and sailed on the canal; I saw the grey mass of the prisoners who were building the Volgo-Balt Canal. I didn't know then what we know now but I think my father did. He hated Stalin."
The terror of the purge was followed by the horrors of war and, in 1941, the Germans advanced ever closer. "We marked with a star those houses from which the men had gone to the front — they were almost all the houses. We would go to these, saw and chop the firewood for the single mothers and the widows, write letters to the front, collect meagre parcels. We would do shifts at the hospital in the evening, writing the letters dictated by the wounded, and mourn those who were buried in the morning. The schoolyard turned into a communal grave… seeing blood and death all around us, we grew up quickly."
The German air raids soon began on Moscow in earnest. One night a blast shattered all the windows of their house and the shockwave threw her sister Tanya out of bed. Miraculously, she survived unhurt. "That morning, I was carrying buckets of water when a jet with red [Russian] stars on streaked past so low that, seeing the face of the pilot in dark goggles, I started waving my hands: 'Hooray!' But the jet circled around and bombs tumbled out of it. The explosion hurled me back. Dumbstruck, I brandished my fist at the pilot. The jet rocked on its wings and flew off. We didn't realise until then that, having taken our airfields, the Germans were using our own planes to bomb us."
People say my childhood sounds exciting — parades at the Kremlin, assassination attempts on my father. But doesn't all that seem pretty tame compared to Grandma's?

Family of musician stabbed at Calgary house party 'devastated' by loss
Zackariah Rathwell "was an amazing kid who grew into an amazing man."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CALGARY—The family of a promising musician stabbed to death along with four other young people at a Calgary house party last week is "devastated" he won't be coming home.
Zackariah Rathwell, 23, was a first-year student at the Alberta College of Art and Design. He was in a band called Zackariah and the Prophets along with Josh Hunter, 22, a commerce student at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business.
Rathwell's family issued a statement late Sunday afternoon.
"We are devastated by what happened. It is a struggle every day to understand that Zackariah won't be coming home. He was so close to so many, and touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with," the family said.
"To the other families, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss, no one should ever have to lose someone who was so young and full of so much potential."
Rathwell's funeral is planned for Tuesday.
"We would also like to thank everyone who has offered their prayers and condolences. We know that as we grieve, the City of Calgary grieves with us. Thank you for all your thoughts and all your prayers. Thank you for caring about Zack," said the family.
"He was an amazing kid who grew into an amazing man. We didn't have him for very long, but we are so very grateful for the time that we did have him. We are all going to miss him so much."
Rathwell, Hunter, Jordan Segura, Lawrence Hong and Kaiti Perras were at a house party marking the end of classes at the nearby University of Calgary early last Tuesday.
They were attacked and stabbed to death by another party-goer.
Segura, Hunter and Perras will be remembered in separate services Monday.
A small memorial for Hong was held Sunday at Bishop O'Byrne High School, where he attended classes. It was closed to the media.
Matthew de Grood, 22, has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder. He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to face the allegations.

New review January 2014: these LED bulbs were a very good purchase, they have been in the desk lamp I made for my father for fathers day last year and they are still functioning PERFECTLY! At this rate I expect them to last like any quality led should, for a long long time and with very low power consumption! My dad is ALWAYS! Using his custom desk lamp I made with these led bulbs, he loves it and I'm very proud of my electrical and other DIY work to make this for him. Thanks mini for this item being good quality and standing up over time! Thanks for the fast free shipping also, I ordered last minute and it came on time :-)!
First review Around June 2013 approximately;
Probably the best LED lights I have bought off of this website. They have a good amount of regulation circuitry on the back of the board (opposite side of the LEDs) it appears.
I made my dad a custom desk lamp using these LEDs, I tore out all the electric components the lamp came with and put together my own LED driver power supply (12volts, 1amp) and installed it into the lamp. I also installed a iPhone charging usb port circuit into the lamp.
Probably the coolest gift I have ever made!
Couldn't have done it the way I wanted without these LEDs.
They made it here in less than 5 days, just in time for fathers day!
Two of these LEDs run together are epically bright, especially in a desk lamp!
I recommend these particular LEDs to everyone as they are a very nice product.
Also mini in the box has exellent customer service!
12/04/2013 update: It's been a long time since Father's Day when I made an awesome desk lamp for my father with these LED lights, they are still working perfectly!!! The LEDs have not had any issues and have functioned flawlessly. I think they will last a long long time and can't see them not continuing to function flawlessly. Very happy with this purchase on miniinthebox, just like a lot of other purchases on mini in the box, money well spent!
By Andrew Dec 05, 2013
