Retailing has always been hard, but it is getting even harder. Brick and mortar stores are struggling to get people into their buildings to see and buy their products. Even when customers enter the store and look at the products, they often reach for their smartphone to check prices and opinions from other locations on the Internet. Retailers are being digitally disrupted in all kinds of ways. In many cases this disruption is via mobile devices, but that is not all of the story.
Amazon is often listed as the top digital disruptor in retailing as they are gobbling up market share in all kinds of categories. Today, they announced their own smartphone. Why? The smartphone is a data generation engine. It can provide massive amounts of data about you, your location, browsing, shopping and research interests.
My colleague, Peter Abatan has been pondering the struggles of traditional retailers and shares his insights with us here.
Recently, Tesco announced a third consecutive quarterly drop in profits and suffered its worst slump in 40 years, similarly, Sainsbury's announced its second consecutive quarterly drop. Having lived in the UK for a considerable part of my life, and being a holder of loyalty cards from both grocery chains, I wonder if these supermarkets really understand who I am, and what I like to purchase? I also ponder why it is so difficult for these behemoths to connect with me on a social level?
If ever a business or organization should be at the forefront of personal Code Halos strategies, it should be Tesco and Sainsbury's. Code Halos strategies are the information that surrounds people, organizations, and devices. Every click, swipe and view, every interaction and transaction generates a halo of code that's robust, powerful, and rich with meaning and insight. The data they hold on an individual is enough to make some basic assumptions about that person, giving them the opportunity to upsell or down-sell products and services depending on their spending patterns. For example, what a person buys can help determine whether the person lives in a one-person household or a multiple occupant household. It can indicate whether a person has realized a rise in income or an economic set back by the type and quality of products purchased. Purchases can hint at birthdays, weddings, babies, religious practices and holidays, and ethnic food preferences.
These economic trends associated with the individual can enable these grocery chains to help the customer stay loyal, by targeting special offers and deals specific to that customer's needs. For example, these grocery chains can offer a product regularly purchased by the customer, as an occasional treat to help retain loyalty. As the price cut chains like Lidl and Aldi continue to eat away at the market share of the big five in the UK, the survival of the fittest will depend on these grocery chains maximize the use of personal Code Halos to their advantage in order to engender loyalty from their customers.
I shop at any of the big 4 grocery chains because I feel none of them do really understand who I am as a customer. I have come to the conclusion that it is the ability to create a relationship with the customer that is essential to engendering loyalty. If Tesco can say to me, "Mr Abatan, we noticed that you bought the ingredients for a coconut cake, did you know that apart from making a coconut cake you could also make coconut flavored bread and here is the recipe to make it." Now that is a relationship that could last for a very long time. Another example is, "Mr Abatan we noticed that you have not bought petrol from us for a while. If you do so before the end of the week we will give you £4.00 off your next purchase."
Code Halos are about using technology to enhance relationships with the customer and to help the organization to grow in the midst of very stiff competition. There are supermarkets like ASDA that do not use loyalty cards, and use demographics to determine what products will sell in a particular area, and which ones would not. Cut price supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl probably use the same model, but I believe this is not sustainable. They all have to start to understand the individual customer and their needs, likes and dislikes.
By understanding my Code Halo, supermarkets can specifically target products that meet my needs. For example superfoods that can help me lose weight or run faster. It can begin to understand when I am likely to run out of a product and generate a shopping list that ensures that I do not forget something essential next time I visit the supermarket. These grocery chains need to connect with their customers via social media if they are to understand what their likes and dislikes are because it all goes towards understanding the personal Code Halo of every single customer.
Loyalty cards like Nectar for Sainbury's, Clubcard for Tesco and the latest edition myWaitrose by Waitrose are a great start, but these businesses need to recognize and fully understand every customer's personal needs and find a way to connect with those needs one customer at a time. As Malcolm Frank et al state in their book titled "Code Halos", "We can find meaning-making potential almost everywhere; the information surrounding every individual, product or organization is fantastically rich with clues and cues about past behavior, current needs and future possibilities". The authors go on to say ""Decoding" your customers' Code Halos - understanding in fine-grain detail who they are and what they value - is becoming the new way to win in business."
There is no doubt that Code Halos are now transforming all our lives and the lives of organizations as well. It will help us to achieve our goals faster, more efficiently and in a non-intrusive way. In essence, grocery chains need to think differently beyond price cuts and price wars, and begin to build solid meaningful relationships with each customer one-at-a-time.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Hunger Free McLeod is a group of volunteers that are working to help hungry people in Minnesotas McLeod County. Even though there are government programs that provide food assistance to people in need of assistance, and there are other sources of assistance, there are still hungry people.
There are people who qualify for and are using the available programs but are not getting enough assistance to meet their food needs.
There are others who do not qualify for government assistance who are having trouble finding a way to afford to buy the food they need. These include:
· Children who are not getting enough food to eat when they are not in school.
· Families in which the bread winners are experiencing a loss of income due to job loss, reduced hours, reduced benefits, etc. In
these families it has become difficult to make house payments, to pay other bills, and to still be able to buy groceries.
· Elderly people on fixed incomes that are having trouble finding a way to buy food and to also pay their other bills.
These missing meals gaps are what Hunger Free McLeod strives to fill.

ARLINGTON — In this, his most disappointing of 10 major league seasons, Shin-Soo Choo plays on.Despite an ankle that he sprained in April, Choo plays on.Despite his numbers, despite his frustration, despite the Texas Rangers' plummet to the bottom of the American League, despite all that … Choo plays on.He says he doesn't hear the fans, the ones who wonder why he doesn't just excuse himself from the everyday lineup and get well.He's a baseball player, Choo says. He is paid to play.And he is paid quite well, of course, which is sort of the problem.During Christmas Week of 2013, the Rangers signed Choo to a seven-year, $130 million free-agent contract, with all expectations that the Korea-born outfielder would be an anchor at the top of the batting order.But after batting .300 for the season's first two months, Choo's offensive production dropped precipitously. He batted .191 for the combined months of June and July, with only three home runs and 16 runs batted in.Do not, though, he insisted, blame it all on the ankle."It probably bothered me the first two months, but not right now, not when I'm hitting," Choo said before Tuesday's game with the Tampa Bay Rays. "It's most difficult when I'm base running, or when I'm in the outfield and have to change direction."Even a cursory check on Google, however, will show you examples of baseball hitters whose swings were altered by some manner of foot or ankle injury. Choo appreciated my layman's medical diagnosis Tuesday, but he emphasized that he's not looking for an excuse."Whatever happens with the numbers," he said, "the player is responsible."Choo began the night batting .245 with an OPS of .719. In the five major league seasons before coming to Texas, his average season showed a .288 average and an .851 OPS. On the average, those seasons produced 37 doubles, 21 homers and 23 stolen bases. Clearly, the Rangers aren't seeing anything close to a $14 million player. But the team overall isn't performing like a club with a $133.5 million payroll, either. In the winter of 2013, there was every reason for the Rangers to conclude that Choo was either the No. 1 or No. 2 outfielder available in the MLB free-agent market. The Yankees signed Jacoby Ellsbury for seven years and $153 million. The Rangers won the bidding for Choo.The signing was designed to be revolutionary. Choo began this season with a .389 on-base percentage. His plate patience was going to lead the new vanguard of Texas hitters, grinding out at-bats and burning through the opponents' pitchers.But thanks to the injuries, the revolution never fired a shot. To me, Choo, an intensely proud athlete, seemed to let the prevailing malaise of the team weigh too heavily on his own shoulders. His contract, too, he admits, might have been a factor."Not just me," Choo said. "Wouldn't you?"If you give me something, I want to give you something in return. The front office, J.D., Thad, Wash — they brought me here and trusted me, and it disappoints me that I haven't been able to show them that they made a great choice."His performance has been discouraging, Choo said. "But I have a lot of confidence still," he assured. "I don't think people this year have seen the normal Shin-Soo Choo. "But they will, they will. I've shown consistency in every year of my big league career. This year I've gone down, but I can come back."He's a baseball player, Shin-Soo Choo says. He plans to show you how he really can play.

An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud.

Safety was last with the Ravens Aaron Wilson
The Denver Broncos plan to sign former Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders safety Michael Huff, according to a league source.
The Broncos also worked out former Indianapolis Colts safety John Boyett and former New York Giants safety Tyler Sash.
The Broncos needed a replacement with Rahim Moore undergoing emergency leg surgery this week.
Huff was released by the Ravens after struggling in kick coverage against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was replaced as the starting free safety by rookie Matt Elam after being signed to a three-year, $6 million contract in March.
Huff struggled in his lone start for the Ravens, allowing touchdown passes to tight end Julius Thomas during a season-opening 49-27 loss to the Broncos.
Huff is a former Raiders first-round draft pick from the University of Texas who has recorded 444 career tackles, 11 interceptions, 55 pass deflections and four forced fumbles.
Huff recently worked out for the Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys.

Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail
When Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail was first published in 1983, it was named the best first novel of the year by USA Today. Set in the tobacco country of North Carolina in 1937, the story is told through the voice of Roxy Walston, the 20-year-old daughter of the town undertaker, wife of a struggling tobacco farmer, and mother of a two-year-old. When Jack Ruffin, a wanderer looking for work, is sent out to the farm to help Roxy's husband, things are set in place that change Roxy's life forever.
"With this absorbing first novel we meet an author richly endowed and sure of her way. She puts to her use an honest, accurate and selective eye, a dramatic sense very much alive, and best of all a sensitivity to the pull and charm and magnetism, even fatality, of human characters whom life has thrown together in their time and place." Eudora Welty
"A masterpiece, a jewel, an utterly brilliant piece of work." Los Angeles Times
"Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail sets us on fire." New York Times
"A breathtakingly accomplished piece of work." Washington Post

El Paso Weekend Events – Mexican Food Cook Off + More
Here's what's going on in and around El Paso this weekend, September 19 – September 21, 2014
Here's what's going on in and around El Paso this weekend, September 19 – September 21, 2014
El Pasoan Derek Spear, who most recently gave us a unique aerial view of our iconic star on the mountain, has now taken his flying camera to the La Union Maze for a flight over the cornfields.
Oh-mah-gawd, this is so freakin' funny; One Direction as you've never heard them before! Some genius replaced their melodic girl-like vocals with horrible, off-key singing, and it's hysterical.
The El Paso Police Department is warning One Direction fans eager to get their hands on tickets to the hottest concert to come to El Paso in years that unscrupulous opportunists come out of the woodwork for these types of events, and if you're not careful you could end up with counterfeit tickets.
I'm an 80's child, and I love me the Bon Jovi, but I've never seen anyone rock out to 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' like this sweet little baby!
'Dead Or Alive' was on the 'Slippery When Wet' album from 1986, and watching Jon Bon Jovi sing it with that hair flying, and those jeans hugging everything that needed to be hugged - lord have mercy! But, I'm older now, and this rendition of 'Dead Or Alive' had me smiling and laughing at the great moves this little beastie already has!
KISS FM is giving away 5 pairs of One Direction tickets this week. All you have to do is figure out, where in the EP are Mike and Tricia? This morning, we gave away our first pair at the El Paso Municipal Rose Garden. What is the Municipal Rose Garden? Glad you asked! Prepare to be whisked away to one of the most beautiful spots in El Paso.
They are the five member British/Irish boy band that has captured the hearts of teens and tweens all over El Paso and the world, and this Friday night One Direction will perform at the Sun Bowl.
So can you take a homemade sign professing your love for Harry? What about a camera? Will overnight camping be allowed so you can be the first one in and Liam can see that you're his biggest fan? Here is where you'll find the answer to those questions and more
Sierra Providence Health Network entered this year's annual Medline Pink Glove Dance Competition and needs your help to win a $15,000 donation to benefit the American Cancer Society of El Paso.
We know you want One Direction tickets, and we know you know we have some. Turns out we have FIVE PAIRS! We're giving them away starting Monday, and here's how you can snag them!
One of the most amazing songs ever written turns 200 years old today. It is a song of our Country, it is a song that we sing at the beginning of every sports game, it is a song that we all should know, but we don't. How much do you know about 'The Star Spangled Banner'.
This weather is going to be great this weekend with highs in the mid to upper 70's, so it's the perfect time to wander around the El Paso Zoo. There have been some changes in pricing that you need to know about, but believe me, the Zoo is worth the price of admission!
Here's what's going on in and around El Paso this weekend, September 12 – September 14, 2014.

Scuba knit tank straps support a stunning navy blue, red, and green floral print bodice with a sexy square neckline, scoop back, and unique seaming in front. The fun continues with a fit and flare style, thanks to a full circle skirt and exposed back zipper. Unlined. Model is 5'8" and is wearing a size small. 97% Polyester, 3% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold or Dry Clean. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
I love this dress - the print is bold, which is what I was looking for. The skirt is really fun and makes me feel like spinning every time I wear it. It fits true to size. The zipper detail on the back is probably one of my favorite parts!
I wore this dress to a wedding and got a ton of compliments. It fit perfect and even though I never wear floral I loved this!
Love this dress - it's a bit short but the neckline is square so you won't show tooooo much cleavage (unless you REALLY try) which is great for a family occasion - I wore this to the family brunch the day after the wedding and it looked perfect.
This dress is beautiful, I purchased a size small which I usually wear, although I could have went with an extra small and been just fine. Very comfortable and would recommend!
This dress not only fit great, but looked great! I went to a country wedding and got endless compliments. It's comfy, too!
This is basically the cutest little dress ever. It's uber flattering and I can wear it (and rock it) even when I'm feeling bloated or frumpy. It just cheers me up every time I put it on, and I have to resist the urge to constantly wear it. It looks adorable with a chunky cage heel in nude or brown and just instantly transforms you. It fits well, is great quality and I always get compliments. I highly recommend it!
The quality of this dress is top-notch! The fabric feels really great and won't wrinkle fast. I'm heavier than I ever used to be, and I still feel really cute in this. I've gotten compliments from guys and girls alike. Really great print, and I don't think anyone would regret this purchase. The XS fit me perfectly, and I'm 5'1", hourglass shape (big in the bust and hips/backside), and about 125lbs. It's a bit shorter than most things I wear (it hits at about mid-thigh for me), but still looks appropriate. Even as I'm a 32c, I didn't feel like my chest was hanging out or anything (and I actually went bra-less!)
Very cute,comfortable and versatile. Could dress up or wear casually. I got an XS and I'm 5'3" and 115 lbs and it fit great.
This is a great dress. I'm 5'5 and my measurements are 42 inch bust, 30 inch waist and 42 inch hip and the extra large fits perfectly and is not to tight in the bust area. The dress hits a couple of inches above the knee and is kind of short, but I have long legs. Overall, this dress is really pretty.
I am 5'6 and 34D and ordered this in a small. It is a little short but I can wear it without any chest support and is a staple in my wardrobe.
This is a lovely dress. I am 5'5'', 130lbs, small-ish chested w/ very curvy thighs and hips. This dress looks great and is slimming! Especially if you're a little pear-shaped. The only thing I'll say is that the the material is pretty thick and synthetic. Not light and airy.
just had to write a review about it! the dress looks just like in the picture, the colors are amazing and the feel of the fabric is smooth and fresh. the length it very accurate, and the quality is excellent. totally worths the purchase.
I must say I love this print! It is just perfect for any day of this hot summer. I was a little worried about the material because I tend to sweat in polyester...but it is great! The material is too thick, but good quality and makes the dress lay very nice:) The top is really flattering..a little more low cut than in the picture which is such a plus in my opinion. I wear a 34b and weigh 116, bought in small. it is a little short so I recommend wearing it with flats:) I wore it sooo much already this summer..great buy
I'm 5'3 and weigh 120 pounds, I bought an XS and it fit great! It was the perfect length (a bit above the knees) and a very comfortable fit. The cut of the dress is very flattering around the waist and the material of it is a bit stretchy as well. I highly recommend this dress!
I am 5'5'' and 106 lbs and I ordered an XS. It is one of my FAVORITE dresses. The material is great and it looks JUST like the picture. But the lighting in the picture makes the dress a little bit lighter than it seems, so just beware of that. Nevertheless, the dress looks amazing as it was the perfect length (just a few inches above my knee) and I canNOT wait to wear it!
I'm in love with this dress. It's a good quality dress, not to thin like most dresses now a days. It flatters the body really well, and hits a little above the knee on me. Which is perfect because I hate super short dresses! The only thing I would have to say against it is that it is a little loose in the bust area for a x-small and I don't have really small ***** either. But everywhere else it fits perfectly. I would recommend anyone to get this adorable classy dress.
I'm 5'8" 140 lbs 36B bust. I ordered a Medium in this dress and it fit perfectly. It was cute but I wasnt in love with it on me.
I ordered this dress on a whim, having never ordered anything from Lulu's before, thinking I would probably return it anyway, and it turned out to be an awesome decision. This dress has great quality materials, the fabric is thick enough that it isn't see through, and it fits amazingly. It isn't so short it's uncomfortable, and the back allows you to wear a good bra! I will definitely be ordering from Lulu's again!
I'm 5'7, 120 lbs,
Super cute! I originally got the medium the first time around and decided that a small would be better. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it! I am about 125-130 at 5'3" to give you an idea of what might work for you.
Love this dress! I think it's even cuter in person than online. I am 5'6" 115lbs, athletic build, and the x-small fits perfectly. It's not too revealing, and not boring either! Definitely recommend :)
Perfect in every way! Color is beautiful! Fit is awesome and I love the fabric!! This dress is perfection!!
This is such a cute and comfortable dress. Wore it to a Kentucky Derby party. I found it helpful to read the reviews. I am 5'2' and 128 pounds and the medium worked for me. Shorter, hit above the knees on me, but that is what I wanted.
I wore this dress to a wedding this past weekend and I received so many compliments! I'm 5"1" and 32a in the chest. When I first received this dress, it was pretty big
Loved it! Fit perfect and the fabric is great!
Absolutely love this dress! it fits amazing. it is extremely comfortable and fits a little above the knee so it's the perfect length.
This dress is so cute! It felt a tiny bit loose around the waist, but a perfect fit everywhere else (and I'd rather have a tiny bit loose than too tight!). It's a great stretchy but sturdy material. The style is pretty short depending on your height (I'm 5'8" and it hits mid-thigh) so it's the type of dress you might want to wear spandex under (or just be daring) particularly if you have hips that might flare it out. I am super satisfied with this dress and I'd definitely order the style again!
I LOVE the print of this dress, and almost kept it for that reason. However, I think that a $42 price tag is a bit steep for the quality of the dress. It's super stretchy, and the seam hits closer to my hips than my waist, which wasn't very flattering on my stomach. Also, when it pulls, you can see white stretch marks in the fabric. I'm about 5'6", 135lbs, and a 34D, and ordered the small. If I had gone up to the medium, it would have been baggy.
I like the print but the fit and quality is not great. The dress is definitely overpriced for the quality of the dress, it's itchy and too stretchy. I have seen a similar dress at other stores for a lot cheaper. I returned the dress
This dress is so cute and made of quality fabric; not cheap feeling at all! I'm 5'10" and am in that awkward place between a small or a medium. I ordered a medium and am glad because the length is perfect. I usually have a problem with dresses too short, but this fits great!
The dress is very flattering on me. I absolutely love it on my skin tone, I got many compliments on this dress. This is definitely a dress that will turn heads.
This dress is super cute! I thought it was shorter , Im 5'2 and its a little over my knee. It's made of a very good quality and is perfect for spring. Im happy with my purchase.
So glad I made this purchase! Fits just like the picture :)
I'm 5'7" and 180 lbs and I purchased the large. It is very cute, does not exactly hide problem areas but nothing so spanx can't smooth out. Overall I'm happy with the length, color, fabric, and overall dress
I LOVE everything about this dress! The style, print, fit, fabric! Its beautiful!
I received so many compliments on this dress! I think it's so girly and fun for spring. Definitely a great addition to my closet! Fits perfectly.
This dress would be incredibly flattering on ANYONE. I'm 115lb, 5'4'', 32C, and wide set hips. I ordered a small and this dress looks incredible (though if you're around my size, I think an XS would look even better). Great movement to it and it's stretchy! That's only thing that surprised me about it, I thought it was more on the harder pleated fabric side but it's stretchy with a bit of sheen to it so I think that's why it fits so perfectly! Will definitely be wearing this dress all summer.
This dress was extremely flattering and had very nice fabric with an adorable print. It's a smooth and somewhat thick fabric that covers up body imperfections and is not sheer at all. I am 5'3" and about 130 lbs...I typically wear smalls/mediums in my shirts and size 4 pants. I probably could have worn a small, but being rather chesty, I found the medium to be extremely comfortable.
This dress is super cute and fits great... I just didn't like how puffy it was on the bottom.. Just not my style.
This dress is very flattering and I love the print. I will be wearing it to my sisters college graduation in May and I can't wait! I am 5 6" 125 lbs and the small was perfect.
This dress is even more beautiful in person! The material is soft and lays nicely. The color is vibrant and the dress is fun!
Soft material, I thought it might be more structured, but it doesn't change the shape! Dress fits true to model. I am only 5'3, 130lb and the length looks the same. I ordered a small and it fits perfectly, with a little room to grow thanks to the stretch.
This dress fits my body perfectly and the floral print is gorgeous. It's very comfortable.
This dress is absolute perfection! It's so adorable and versatile, and it a very flattering fit. I'm 5'9" and a size 4 in dresses, typically a small or medium in Lulu's, depending upon the length and cut of the dress. I could wear and small in this, but am definitely glad I ordered the medium, as the small would have been way too short. This can be dressed up for a date night or dressed down for the office. I'm so glad I ordered it!
I love this dress and the way that it fits it is really flattering to the body. The top was a little bit more lower than I expected but I am a 34A. Still nothing that would prevent me from wearing it.

I worked at Cadence Design Systems
a stable company of reasonable size, benefit is also reasonable. It's a area requires special expertises so less people qualifies. It's not easy to get qualified people.
internal politics are heavy. middle level managers are not that good. And senior management knows nothing technical. There is no technical innovation possible.
Management should focus more on technologies, not politics for their own goods. Competition is heavy in this area and requires constant innovation.
