Growing your business by expanding into new markets is one of the most tried & true business growth strategies. Many business leaders point toward it as the vision for their organization. Having a vision is key, but strategy execution earns the dollars.
Inside today's video I discuss the pros and cons of licensing. The discussion introduces the theoretical aspects of this strategy. Of all the options open to a business this is the quickest to implement. We also look at a case where licensee brought unforeseen fortunes to the licensor's doorstep.
Whether you are looking at an international move or local service introduction you'll take something away from this series.
P.S. Don't forget to rate my video and leave a comment if you have something to add.

Featured town in South Africa: HermanusHermanus hosts an annual whale festival at the end of September, when the Southern Right whales come into the local bay during the mating season. Prior to this main whale festival a "Kalfiefees" (or "Calf Festival") is held, to welcome the first whales (usually in August). Both festivals are characterized by food and craft stalls and also attract South African drama productions to the town.
The whales can be seen from the cliffs in the town centre from as early as June. They were once hunted locally, but are now protected. The Old Harbour Museum contains several exhibitions which explain the whaling history of Hermanus.

General retailers and software & computer services lead the exit rankings for 2012.
Divestments of general retailers have generated the most exit value for private equity so far this year, while software & computer services leads the table by volume.
With 42 divestments in the first 11 months of 2012, exit activity in the software & computer services sector was more than double that of the general retail sector, which comes fourth in the exits league table by volume. Most software exits occured in the first half of the year.
Value-wise, however, the trend reverses: general retail takes top spot, while software & computer services ranks fourth. June is the month that saw most activity in terms of value – this is however exclusively down to the partial sale of AXA Private Equity and KKR's Alliance Boots to US firm Walgreens for £4.3bn.
The high valuation of retail assets is certainly skewed by the Boots sale, an established brand in the UK. Yet, retailers selling non-discretionary goods are seeing increased interest from investors due to economic circumstances and low consumer confidence, which adversely affect overall spending.
Support services and healthcare equipment & services rank second and third respectively in terms of both value and volume of exits.

Baruch Mizrachi funeral, April 16, 2014..
(photo credit:MARC ISRAEL SELLEM)
"With a bullet's whistle I lost you, the love of my life," Hadas Mizrahi said before hundreds of mourners at the Mount Herzl Military Cemetery on Wednesday as she eulogized her husband, Baruch, 47, who was killed in a pre-Passover terror attack two days earlier.Hadas, who was also wounded in the attack, was released briefly from the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, just a few meters down the road, to attend the funeral. A white plastic hospital bracelet hung on her wrist as she spoke.Earlier in the day, wearing a hospital gown and sitting in a wheelchair, she told reporters that in the last seconds before his death, her husband saved her life and that of their four children.Their fifth child was not in the car with them as they traveled late Monday afternoon from their home in Modi'in to her parents' house in Kiryat Arba for the Seder.As the family drove along Route 35 in the West Bank, Baruch saw a man with a gun on the side of the road."Look," Baruch told her, "there is a terrorist shooting."These were his last words to her. Immediately he pressed his foot on the gas pedal as the terrorist sprayed their car with bullets.Video: Tovah Lazaroff
A bullet instantly killed her husband, but his foot remained on the pedal, and as his slumped body fell on her she understood that he had been killed. A bullet hit her and then another one hit him, she recalled."Had the car been stationary, we all would have died," she said.Although she was wounded and bleeding, she managed to grasp the car's steering wheel as it zigzagged across the road.She gained control of the wheel and yelled at her children to take off their seat belts and lie on the floor of the car to escape the bullets.Only once she felt they had traveled a safe distance did she stop the car, and then used her cellphone to call for help.Her children didn't immediately understand that their father had died, Hadas said. In the car they yelled at him: "'Abba [father], wake up.' That tore me up.My daughter said, 'Abba what happened, why aren't you answering?'" Since then, Hadas said, they ask, "Where is Abba?" Hadas said that in the car she wanted to reassure her children but not deceive them. Instead of speaking of Baruch she spoke only about herself, telling them, "I'm here and I'm fine."When rescue personnel arrived she asked the medics and security personnel to remove her children first, so that they would not see that she was wounded. They were taken to her parents' home. One of her sons, Itai, aged eight-and-a-half, was lightly wounded, she said. He was treated briefly in a hospital and then returned to Kiryat Arba.Of Baruch, she recalled: "We were together for 20 years. He was a wonderful father. He always found time to be with the children."She then described how he came home early once a week to see them."On Wednesday he went with us to the safari; it was our last trip. On Sunday night we went with the children to visit his mother and that was his last visit to her," she said.It was the thought of her five children that has given her the strength to push forward, she said."I want to bring up my children so they will finish their studies, serve in the army and get married," she said.Hadas called on the prime minister to "stop releasing terrorists here; another family has been destroyed and we do not want another family to be destroyed."When she finished talking at the hospital, she burst briefly into tears.At the funeral as she told the mourners that she and her husband were supposed to "grow old together" and enjoy a "tranquil life" and the "changing of season.""Who," she asked, "will help me raise the children? Who will teach them honesty? Who will offer them endless love and be the example to them that you were?" "Twenty years of love and unity have ended," she said. "My beloved, our children will still grow in the lap of love for mankind and for the country. You will still be with us. I am parting from you with my body but not my soul."

According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Denver Nuggets are interested in Nate Robinson. The 8-year NBA veteran averaged 13.1 points and 4.4 assists in 25 minutes per game for the Bulls this season – also contributing 16.3 points and 4.4 assists in 12 postseason games before being eliminated by the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Sources close to the situation said Saturday that the Denver Nuggets have registered their interest in Robinson, who ranks as one of the most attractive free agents still available after his playoff scoring binges for Chicago. The prospect of a return to Chicago appears increasingly unlikely. Sources say that the reluctance of Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau to bring Robinson back — with Derrick Rose returning — is expected to lead Robinson elsewhere.

Facebook is now rolling out a new version of its news feed that will take the look of its mobile app and put it on the web. You can get a nice sample of what it will look like and sign up to be one of the first people to get yours here.
But before you do, now is an excellent time to think about something that's going to be a much bigger issue soon — your photo privacy. The new newsfeed is all about highlight photos and making them easier to share.
In a recent survey of Facebook users, we found out that 1 out 5 have had a picture of piece of content posted on Facebook reused without their permission*.
This is why it's important to remember the key rule of Facebook privacy: Nearly anything you share on Facebook can be reshared by your friends — no matter how locked down your privacy settings are. You do technically own the content you post on Facebook, meaning Facebook probably won't claim control of your content (even though its terms and conditions suggest it might be able to.)
But once you post anything on a social network, you're basically setting it free in the world.
There are also a few key things about photos that many Facebook users are not aware of, though they are listed in Facebook's privacy help pages:
- The privacy setting for your Cover Photos album is always public.
- If there's a photo of you in an album that someone else posted, only the person who posted it can change the album privacy. If you don't like the photo, you can remove a tag or escalate the issue.
- If you share a high resolution photo or album with someone, that person will be able to download those photos.
- Unlike other photo albums you create, you can choose an audience for individual photos in your Timeline Photos and Mobile Uploads albums. Each time you post a new photo, you pick who sees that photo using the audience selector.
You can get to your activity log from your privacy shortcuts:
- Click your privacy shortcuts in the upper-right corner of the page and select Who can see my stuff?
- Click Use Activity Log.
Note: Only you can see your activity log. However, stories in your activity log may appear other places on Facebook, like on your timeline, in search or in your friends' News Feeds.
*Based on a survey of 495 Internet users contacted in December 2- 31 2012 through Facebook, Twitter and the F-Secure Safe and Savvy blog and conducted through Surveygizmo.
Social media is here to stay and it definitively changes our way to communicate. One new trend is the ability to communicate instantly without writing or saying anything. Good examples are Facebook's Like-button and the indicators for what you are doing or feeling. Facebook's Like-button is no doubt the most popular and important feature in this category. You really can't be a Facebook user without getting in touch with it. But the big question is what you really mean by clicking Like? It sounds simple, but may be more complex than you think. You do not only express support for the post you like, it is also a social gesture towards the poster. You show that you have read the post and want to stay in touch. Another interesting question is how to deal with good posts about bad things. We see them almost daily. Someone is writing an excellent post about something that is very wrong. You really dislike the topic of the post even if you think it's good that someone brings it up. You agree about something you dislike. Should you click Like? Does a like target the post or the topic of a post? There's no generic rule for this and we all act differently. More activity, likes and comments, boost a post and makes it more visible. So it would make sense to like the post as we want to spread awareness about the problem. But it still feels wrong to like something that makes you feel sick. So that's the poll question for today. How do you act when you see a good post about something bad? Do you click Like? [polldaddy poll=8445608] Safe surfing, Micke
If you like sailing and tall ships, I can recommend this podcast about Pam Bitterman's book Sailing to the far horizon. It's a great story about the last years of the community-operated ship Sofia, covering both a lot of happy sailing and the ship's sad end in the early eighties. But this is not about hippies on a ship, it's about how we record and remember our lives. In the podcast Pam tells us how the book was made possible by her parents saving her letters home. Perhaps they had a hunch that this story will be written down one day. Going on to state that e-mails and phone calls wouldn't have been saved that way. That's a very interesting point that should make us think. At least it made me think about what we will remember about our lives in, say, twenty years? We collect more info about what we are doing than ever before. We shoot digital pictures all the time and post status updates on Facebook. We are telling the world where we are, what we are doing and what we feel. Maybe in a way that is shallower than letters home, but we sample our lives at a very granular rate. The real question is however how persistent this data is? If we later realize we have experienced something unique enough to write a book about, have our digital life left enough traces to support us? Pam wrote the book about Sofia some twenty years later. A twenty year old paper is still young, but that's an eternity in the digital world. Will you still be on the same social media service? Do you still have the same account or have you lost it. Does the service even exist? And what about your e-mails, have you saved them? How are your digital photos archived? You may even have cleaned up yourself to fit everything into a cheaper cloud account. Here's something to keep in mind about retaining your digital life. Realize the value of your personal records. You may fail to see the value in single Facebook posts, but they may still form a valuable wholeness. If you save it you can choose to use it or not in the future. If you lose it you have no choice. Make sure you don't lose access to your mail, social media and cloud storage accounts. That would force you to start fresh, which usually means data loss. Always register a secondary mail address in the services. That will help you recover if you forget the password. Use a password manager to avoid losing the password in the first place. Redundancy is your friend. Do not store important data in a single location. The ideal strategy is to store your files both on a local computer and in a cloud account. It provides redundancy and also stores data in several geographically separated locations. This is easy with younited because you can set it to automatically back up selected folders. Mail accounts have limited capacity and you can't keep stuff forever. Don't delete your correspondence. Check your mail client instead for a function that archives your mail to local storage. Check your social media service for a way to download a copy of your stuff. In Facebook you can currently find this function under Settings / General. It's good to do this regularly, and you should at least do it if you plan to close your account and go elsewhere. Migrate your data when switching to a new computer or another cloud service. It might be tricky and take some time, but it is worth it. Do not see it as a great opportunity to start fresh and get rid of "old junk". If you are somewhat serious about digital photography, you should get familiar with DAM. That means Digital Asset Management. This book is a good start. Pam did not have a book in mind when she crossed the Pacific. But she was lucky and her parents helped her retain the memories. You will not be that lucky. Don't expect your friends on Facebook to archive posts for you, you have to do it yourself. You may not think you'll ever need the stuff, just like Pam couldn't see the book coming when onboard Sofia. But you never know what plans the future has for you. When you least expect it, you might find yourself in a developing adventure. Make yourself a favor and don't lose any digital memories. Safe surfing, Micke
Most of us have some kind of relationship with Facebook. We either love it, hate it or ignore it. Some of us are hooked. Some have found new opportunities, and many have got themselves into a mess on Facebook. Some are worry-free and totally open while others are deeply concerned about privacy. But we probably all agree that Facebook has changed our lives or at least impacted our ways to communicate. Facebook has showed that social media is an important tool for both business and private affairs. Facebook was in the right place at the right time to become the de-facto standard for social media. But the success of Facebook is also what makes it scary. Imagine the power you have if you know everything about everyone in the civilized world. And on top of that with quite loose legislation about what you can do with that data. Ok, everything and everyone are exaggerations, but not too far from the truth. Others have tried to challenge Facebook, but no one has succeeded so far. One reason is that social media automatically is monopolizing. The most important selection criteria is where your friends are, and that drives everyone into one common service. The fact that even Google failed with Google+, despite their huge resources and a ready user base from services like Gmail, just underlines how solid Facebook's position is. Ello is the latest challenger and they certainly have an interesting approach. Ello tries to hit Facebook straight in its weakest point and provide a service that respect user integrity. They may lack the resources of Google, but they can be credible in this area. The choice between Facebook and Google is like a rock and a hard place for the privacy minded, but Ello is different. Their manifesto says it all. Will Ello survive and will they be the David that finally defeats Goliath? Ello is in a very early phase and they certainly have a very long way to go. But remember that their success depends on you too. You may not be a product on Ello, but you are certainly a feature. The main feature, actually. The team can only provide a framework for our social interactions. But people to be social with is absolutely crucial for any social network. So Ello's raise or fall is mostly in our hands now. They need enough pioneers to make it a vibrant society. The development team can make the service fail, but they can only create potential for success. Ello needs you to materialize that potential. So what's my honest opinion about Ello? The fact that the service is based on privacy and integrity is good. We need a social media service like this. But there are also many open questions and dark clouds on Ello's sky. People have complained about its usability. And yes, usability is quite weird in many ways. It's also very obvious that Ello is too premature to be a tool for non-technical users. Now in October 2014, I would personally only invite people who are used to beta software. But both usability and the technical quality can be fixed, it just takes more work from the team. A bigger question mark is however the future business model of Ello. On Facebook you're a product and that's what pays for the "free" service. But how is Ello going to strike a balance between privacy and funding the operation? This is one of the big challenges. Another is if the privacy-promise really is enough? Many of us are already privacy-aware, but the vast majority is still quite clueless. What Ello needs is either a big increase in privacy awareness or something clever that Facebook doesn't provide and can't copy quickly. It may seem futile for a small startup to challenge Facebook. But keep in mind that Facebook was small too once in the beginning. Facebook showed us that we need social media. Perhaps Ello can show us that we need social media with integrity. But anyway, you are among those who decide Ello's future by either signing up or ignoring it. Safe surfing, @Micke-fi on Ello Picture: ello.co screen capture

Obama says debate prep going great, works on being aggressive
WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia
WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday his debate preparation was "going great" and aides said the Democrat would be more aggressive in his next face off with Mitt Romney after their last encounter gave the Republican challenger a boost.
Since that first debate in Denver on October 3, polls indicate Romney has erased Obama's lead heading into the November 6 election. Obama and Romney debate again on Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. The third and final presidential debate will take place on October 22 in Florida.
Obama is spending the days ahead of the second debate at a resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, a battleground state that both candidates want to win in order to be victorious on November 6.
During a quick stop at a local campaign office, where he delivered pizzas to volunteers and called supporters by phone, Obama ha d a n enthusiastic ta ke on hi s practice sessions.
"It is going great," Obama told reporters.
Before his debate in Denver, Obama held a similar "debate camp" in the swing state of Nevada. During a visit to a campaign office there, he called the practice sessions "a drag."
That attitude may have shown through on stage. His performance was widely panned as passive, and Romney's energetic showing gave his campaign a significant lift.
"The president is his own harshest critic and he knows Mitt Romney had a better night at the first debate," campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Sunday.
"The American people should expect to see a much more energized President Obama making a passionate case for why he is a better choice for the middle class."
Obama started debate preparation around 10 a.m. on Sunday before breaking for the campaign office stop. H e joked with volunteers that he was able to use the traditional landline phones because he had them at home.
"We actually still have old style phones...at the White House," he said.
On Sunday 's t alk shows , Obama's advisers said he was preparing for a stepped-up performance, but the Romney team sounded unimpressed.
"Well, the president can change his style. He can change his tactics. He can't change his record. And he can't change his policies. And that's what this election is about," Romney campaign adviser Ed Gillespie told CNN.
"I think the race is very close. I think the wind is at Governor Romney's back, and there's clearly momentum. You can see it on the trail, you can see it in the data," Gillespie said in a separate appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
In contrast to Obama's listless debate performance, Vice President Joe Biden was far more assertive in his debate on Thursday night with Romney's running mate Paul Ryan in Danville, Kentucky.
The next presidential debate is a "town hall" format, allowing audience members to pose questions. CNN anchor Candy Crowley will moderate the debate.
Former White House communications director Anita Dunn, a longtime Obama adviser, was playing the role of Crowley in the president's mock sessions, a campaign aide said.
Obama's chief campaign strategist David Axelrod told the "Fox News Sunday" program the president would be aggressive in making his case on T uesday.
"But the other thing he's going to certainly do - I mean, we saw Governor Romney sort of serially walk away from his own proposals - certainly the president is going to be willing to challenge him on it as we saw the vice president challenge Paul Ryan," Axelrod said.

Topic: Deer Resistant
Title: Deer resistant plants for campground in West Virginia
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We spend the summers at a campground as permanent campers. We fix up our sites to be a pleasure to spend our time smelling and see the wild life come and perch around the area. We would like to know what plants to use so that we can draw the small wildlife and the deer but we have a problem finding plants that the deer will not destroy. We can plant those types away from our sites and still enjoy the deer population. We live in the Grafton area of West Virginia which is about 25 miles south of Morgantown and the W. Va. University. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
ANSWER:First of all, there are no plants that are absolutely deer proof. When food is scarce they eat many things that they wouldn't touch in times of plenty. With that caveat, here is a short list of plants that are attractive to insects, birds and other mammals but that deer tend to avoid:
1. Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) with flowers that attract butterflies and other insects.
2. Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) with flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
3. American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) with berries for birds and small mammals.
4. American holly (Ilex opaca) with berries for birds and small mammals.
Here are a few plants that deer don't usually eat and are attractive, but may or may not attract other small wildlife:
5. Yarrow, or milfoil, (Achillea millefolium)
6. Any of the Genus Iris, such as Virginia iris (Iris virginica)
7. Any of the Family Lamiaceae (Mint Family) such as Lyre-leaf sage (Salvia lyrata) or Hedge nettle (Stachys tenuifolia)
You can find a list of deer-resistant Texas native plants (some of which are also native to West Virginia) on the Native Plant Society of Texas web site. The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden also publishes a list of deer resistant plants; however, please be aware that not all the plants on the Cincinnati list are native plants. You might also like to check out two articles, "Creating a Wildlife Garden" and "Wildlife Gardening Bibliography", in our Native Plant Library.

Daytona 500 notebook: Ganassi drivers eye better results in qualifying duels
Auto Racing Videos
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Fox Chapel native Chip Ganassi wasn't overly pleased with his drivers' performances during qualifying for the Daytona 500. But he knows the real challenge awaits his team in the qualifying duels Thursday.
Only pole winner Danica Patrick and three-time champion Jeff Gordon on Sunday guaranteed their starting positions.
Montoya and McMurray, who didn't have a top-5 finish between them last season, will try to fight their way toward the lead pack on the starting grid during the 150-mile dual races.
• Patrick watched anxiously as her boyfriend, rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr., threatened to bump her off the pole. But Stenhouse got loose in Turn 2 and couldn't recover quickly enough to challenge her. "The car was as good as it's been all weekend as far as speed," Stenhouse said. "The guys did a good job of getting the car ready between practice and qualifying." Patrick, who finished third in the Indianapolis 500 in 2009, said it wouldn't have mattered had Stenhouse worked his way on the front row. However, she acknowledged it would have been interesting with the two of them racing side by side at the start of The Great American Race. "No, he's never been another number," Patrick said. "He's always been someone who has helped me and given me advice. He's always been fair to me on the track."
• Stewart-Haas Racing bested Hendrick Motorsports using Hendrick engines. Stewart-Hass drivers posted the fastest lap (Patrick) and fourth- and fifth-fastest (Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart, respectively). Hendrick was second (Jeff Gordon), sixth (Kasey Kahne), 11th (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and 21st (Jimmie Johnson). "I don't think we're doing anything different than the Hendrick cars," Stewart said. "But we've been working for years to find something for the restrictor-plate races."
• It shouldn't have come as a surprise that Patrick won the pole. She turned the fastest lap (196.220 mph) during Saturday practice sessions.
• Michael Waltrip, Aric Almirola, Johnson and Kahne were among 1,400 participants in the Daytona Beach Half Marathon on Sunday morning. Johnson posted the best time among the Sprint Cup drivers with a time of 1 hour, 29 minutes and 48 seconds.

I find it amazing that this book is available as of 10/15/2009. Kessinger Publishing Company deserves much praise for publishing it and Barnes and Nobles for making it available.
Henry Bradford Smith presents the material in a way that is very easy to follow. He seldom uses terms without defining them. He makes very few assumptions. His conviction is that traditional Aristotelian logic is necessary and complete. He rejects the notion the classical logic must accept the definitions presented by current mathematical theory.
Smith resolves the issues raised by the new definitions. He elucidates the meanings of the old definitions and clarifies their form. He remains faithful to the content of traditional logic.
If you are looking for a guide to teach you how to reason logically. If you want an approach that is not convoluted by the prevailing subjectivist thought forms and incessant denial of truth as an object. If you are looking for a traditional approach to a natural deduction system that preserves subalternation, look no farther. Get this book!

The Industrial Revolution in the 18th to 19th centuries was a period during which predominantly rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. Advances in steam technology, transportation, mass production and the telegraph collectively transformed industry and society. Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to once again transform industry and society just as the Industrial Revolution did. Analyst firm IDC forecasts that the IoT market will grow to $8.9 trillion by 2020 with anywhere between 30 to 50 billion connected autonomous things, making the potential g...

As Chad Moriyama noted a while back, it's not just the oddity of the collection of moves that could lead one to believe the new ownership group is looking at things more so from a PR perspective than from an on-the-field, performance-based one.The humongous trade with the Red Sox is a prime example. The Dodgers took on a quarter of a billion dollars in contracts – let that sink in for a moment – while also giving up a prime prospect (De La Rosa), a pretty good one (Webster), and another solid one (Sands). Even for a team flush with cash after a long period of operating under a broke and crooked owner, the combination of giving up prospects and taking on so much money is absurd and not smart business in the least.Where it becomes a PR move, in appearance, is two-fold. First, Dodgers' owner Peter Guber said as much in early September:"You can't tell nine days later. Look at it for a season. Not over three weeks. We did it to send signals, to the fans, to the media. You have to recog...

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
By Matthew Bates 17/07 Updated: 19/07 09:28
YOUNGSTER Jamie Lee was given the honour of opening a facility at University Hospital that will give kids a chance to play outdoors whatever the weather.
The eight-year-old, who suffers from a disease affecting his immune system, was the first to benefit from a canopy installed over a children's play area.
He cut the ribbon watched on by other children and their parents.
The canopy has been put over a first floor balcony between the infants and children's ward on the unit to create the space.
More than £40,000 was raised by two local charities, Coventry Hospitals Charity and UHCW Charity, to provide the facility so children can play despite the British weather.
Joan Whitaker, senior play specialist on the Children's Ward, said: "Until now we could not use the balcony to its potential.
"It was not just the rain or snow that prevented children going out but we had to stop them on hot sunny days too, as the direct sunlight meant they were at risk of burning."
Andrew Hardy, chief executive of UHCW NHS Trust, added: "We are very grateful to both local charities for this invaluable support.
"Play is especially important when children are in hospital - it helps them to settle, to express their fears and helps our staff to explain their illness or treatment.
"This new facility will be a great asset creating a wonderful environment to support their care and recuperation."

album will suck though
Digging: Bee Mask - When We Were Eating Unripe Pears
No way man.
lets see, souvenirs was bad, ecailles was average
yeah this will probably suck
I agree about souvenirs, it never did anything for me. But ecailles was awesome.
neiges side projects have always been better than alcest (except for amesoeurs, that was bad too)
Digging: Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste
should be good
Oooo pwetty
Digging: The Birthday Massacre - Superstition
Decent but not nearly as good as the cover for Ecailles De Lune.
Souvenirs is the only good thing Neige has done.
nah that album is pretty bad
Ya Souvenirs is pretty boring.
Nah, but Blut aus Nord's last two albums are.
Such a relative statement.
Well I'm sure I'll love this. Album art is awesome too.
Fuck yeah. Can't wait for this.
Lettering reminds me of Mastodon.
Souvenirs is awesome
Ecailles is awesome
this will be awesome
the artwork here is also amazing as expected, although ecailles' artwork is really something else.
Beautiful artwork. Extremely excited about this album.
Artwork rules. Expect nothing less than a 3.7/5.
Digging: Pink Turns Blue - If Two Worlds Kiss
Beautiful artwork. Extremely excited about this album. (2)
What Angel said.
"Souvenirs is awesome

Artwork is very pretty. This probably going to be really good.
Digging: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times
the art is stunning. if this is as good as Ecailles then i'll be more than happy.
Digging: Insides - Euphoria
Fursy Teyssier makes the best album arts I've ever seen. Always top notch.
This one's even better than the one he did for Agalloch.
which one did he do for Agalloch? the only good one they've had was Ashes imo
I think it's beautiful:
actually looks quite nice in that resolution. used to dislike it.
The guy is amazing. But imo the best one he did was for his own album:
He has plenty more. Here's his mySpace:
Sorry for the triple post, and no, I'm not him...
havent heard Souvenirs
ecailles had one good song (aka sucked)
this will probably be meh

havent heard Souvenirs
ecailles had one good song (aka sucked)
this will probably be meh
Ugh what? Wow dude.

Promethean, a global leader in educational technology, today announced its ClassFlow Student application for Windows 8 and single sign-on integration with Microsoft Office 365. ClassFlow is the new "all-in-one" interactive lesson orchestration platform for creating and delivering interactive multimedia lessons in today's connected classroom. With ClassFlow, teachers can easily share the interactive lessons being delivered on front-of-classroom digital surfaces such as interactive whiteboards to any student-owned devices running Windows 8, like Surface Pro tablets and Windows RT-enabled devices.
"The launch of ClassFlow Student for Windows 8 builds on Promethean's promise to support the leading operating systems used by schools to deliver the collaborative, interactive and real-time assessment technologies that allow educators to personalize learning," said Scott Cary, Chief Marketing and Products Officer of Promethean. "Technology has redefined how we connect, share and learn. By engaging students through technology in the classroom, we can motivate learning while also supporting teachers with tools to differentiate instruction at the point of learning."
"As schools make the transformational shift to a digital learning environment, tools like ClassFlow are essential for educators," said Andrew Ko, general manager, U.S. Partners in Learning at Microsoft Corp. "ClassFlow can efficiently deliver the immersive learning experience students need on familiar Windows 8 devices."
In addition to assisting schools in maximizing their Windows 8 technology investments and one-to-one initiatives, ClassFlow Student for Windows 8 also enhances the interactive response assessment and polling capabilities of ClassFlow, fostering fluid communication between teachers and students as well as offering in-the-moment assessment of student understanding. Like Windows 8, ClassFlow is optimized for touch capability and offers an enriched user experience when the two are employed together.
Promethean is also introducing a single sign-on integration feature that allows educators to log into ClassFlow using their existing Microsoft Office 365 credentials. The streamlined process helps teachers already using Office 365 easily gain access to their lesson content in ClassFlow without the need to manage multiple usernames and passwords. Once logged into the platform, educators will also appreciate the ability to retrieve content from their OneDrive and search Bing from within ClassFlow to build lessons.
ClassFlow Student for Windows 8 will be available for download on July 1 from the Windows Store.
For more information on ClassFlow, visit www.classflow.com.
