Cyclewise Inc. / Ducati Vermont
Mission Statement
We are committed to sharing our enthusiasm and passion for powersports by facilitating a genuine lifestyle of fun and life-long relationships with our cherished customers. We have been fueling the passion for adventure of our customers since 1997.
Showroom Design and Layout
The main entrance of Cyclewise Inc. / Ducati Vermont captures the lifestyle of a motorcyclist. The Ducati race-striped wall, lifestyle posters, mannequins and motorcycles strategically placed all set a thrilling mood. With unique wall colors of chili pepper red and symphony blue, upbeat music or a motorcycle race on the TV, the spirit is energized.
The entire right side of the showroom is a Ducati store within a store. The floor is laid with a brilliant red carpet upon which motorcycles and apparel are positioned to create the lifestyle. Beyond this is a focal point of the stainless steel back wall where the parts and service counters are positioned. Each counter is highlighted with stainless steel and accent lighting. Each counter offers easy access from each side onto the showroom floor. The section between these counters is used to highlight new product, and the left of the parts counter is where the high-end Arai and Shoei helmets are displayed. The 16-foot ceiling allows for the parts room to be capped with a display platform above, with themes that change with each season. Just above this display, we hang lifestyle posters of a variety of our customers, which change every six months.
The parts and service counters are side by side, located along the back wall, with close access to the service department. The clothing and accessories department is off to the left of the parts counter and is highlighted with area rugs, a bench and a vanity mirror with a dedicated women's and men's section. To the right of the parts counter is a section of maple flooring and matching maple slatwall that displays Suzuki motorcycles and Suzuki accessories. In the center of the room is a well-lit square where we corral and highlight our pre-owned motorcycles. This section changes with the seasons and offers high visibility. Other walls of the showroom are dedicated to ATV and dirt bike accessories each with the corresponding machine strategically displayed next to them.
The full lineup of Honda Power Equipment is highlighted on a green carpet complete with cubicle racking and literature to create its own little section. The sales office and the F&I department are side by side and are just off of the showroom for easy access to the customer. The customer lounge is nestled off to the side of the showroom, but allows for a full panoramic view. It is equipped with comfortable chairs, TV, a separate table with stools and a bar. Hot coffee and tea are always brewing and cold beverages are available in the mini refrigerator. A snack box sits conveniently on the counter to keep the customers happy while they wait for their machines to be serviced.
The lounge is also equipped with a box of children's toys, a bulletin board with inspirational sayings and "meet the Cyclewise family" photos of customers and their machines and recent events. The showroom has an overall spacious feel where the units are far enough apart to encourage customers to sit and move around the machines with comfort.
Service Department
The service department is purposely located next to the parts department in the back of our showroom. This is to ensure that customers walk through the sales department, and also to increase communication between all three departments -- which is essential in making every transaction between the departments run smoothly. The service counter is also positioned near the service area entrance for efficiency and convenience. There is a separate service entrance in front of the service desk for customers to easily drive up and drop of their machines. While at the service counter, the customer can look through a window directly into the service department and watch their bike during its service.
After completion of any service, regardless size or cost, each machine is washed and dried for the customer in our wash area. When the machine is ready for pick up, it is wheeled from the service department to the front of the service desk or just outside the service door. This allows the service manager to have direct contact with the customer and the ability to go over the work that was performed on their machine.
Located on and behind the service counter are awards, certificates and plaques that have been earned by Cyclewise Inc. / Ducati Vermont and their employees. This indicates to the customer that this business is up to date, qualified and recognized within the industry. The service area is freshly painted a light gray and silver roofing lines one entire wall. This gives an industrial look and allows for optimum brightness for the technicians.
One wall is dedicated to Ducati and is highlighted with a red racing stripe, red toolboxes and red tool boards. The lift closest to this wall is set on red flooring and is dedicated to Ducati service. Along another wall lays a Suzuki blue racing stripe that ties our two brands together. Along this wall are three more motorcycle/ATV lifts lined in a row. In order to keep an open floor layout to push machines in and out, the main specialty stations are placed along the walls. These stations are broken down into a tire station, fork rebuild, battery prep and maintenance, ultrasonic wash, bead blast and detail/wash station. Each station is equipped with the necessary tools and supplies needed to perform the task efficiently. There are two overhead doors on each end of the service area so that machines can be driven through or out either door for mechanics convenience.
This year, a new service of nitrogen tire-filling was implemented. This is a true value for the customer to enable longer tire life. Since we are in the Northeast, we offer storage and winterization with spa-like treatments so that the customer has a hassle-free experience when they are ready to ride in the spring. As always. we offer free pick-up and delivery for servicing of machines, especially during inconvenient weather.
Training and Employee Motivation Practices
Cyclewise / Ducati Vermont sells fun and fashion and instills passion in the powersports industry. Employees of our dealership need to resonate that vibe throughout the workplace and be able to pass it on to the customer. For this reason, we do some cross-training with our employees in different departments. This allows them to learn new skills, it makes them more valuable to the customer, and also combats worker boredom. Therefore, the mind is constantly stimulated, and the mood is kept upbeat and fun. We highly believe that educating ourselves and our employees makes us all responsible, productive team members. The more knowledgeable information that we can pass on to our customers, the more our devotion shows through. We send our technicians to every factory OEM training, and our sales staff is sent to all new-model updates that are offered online or in person. For parts and service, we fill in the gaps by using some online courses and articles. This keeps everyone current in the industry.
Cyclewise/Ducati Vermont would not be who we are if it wasn't for our incredible staff. Each year we try to find a way of thanking them for their hard work and devotion to their careers. This year, we closed the dealership on a Thursday and surprised them with a staff day of play and rejuvenation. We all selected a motorcycle of choice and rode 150 miles through some of the best roads of Vermont to arrive at our destination, Abortrek. Here, we took the staff on a three-hour thrilling zip line tour in the canopy of our state's forest. We then found a great burger shop, filled our bellies, shared stories of our adrenaline-filled day and headed back for home. This adventure was a great bonding experience, each of us smiling, rejuvenated and still sharing stories of it with our customers.
Our ultimate objective for the dealership is creating a safety philosophy that will promote safe acts and good decision-making. This year we held a workshop day where we brought in two lawyers and our insurance representative. Together, we talked about areas of safety, risk and liability and devised a plan of how to remain accident-free and how to provide the safest environment to our customers. Videos and tests were completed, certifying everyone in areas from forklift use to test ride procedures to proper facility harassment.
We spend time discussing treatment of coworkers and how to work through issues that arise between each other. We brainstorm on how to keep the facility safe from theft and other losses. It is important to us, the owners, that each employee voice their opinions and concerns and understand how valued their input is to us. This workshop day did indeed bring us even closer to attaining our safety objectives.
Our industry is ever-changing and it requires a skilled, knowledgeable workforce with employees who are adaptive, flexible, and focused on the future. In order for us to assess and gain feedback from our employees on where they feel they are, we have them fill out a self evaluation form. Together, we go over the form and, based on their skills and achievements, a wage increase is granted. We have implemented a commission-based pay on top of each salary that rewards each staff member for their part in increasing our overall revenue.
Commitment to Customer Service
When it comes to customer service, we think in terms of the ultimate experience that is delivered before, during, and after the sale or service we provide. Having exceptional customer service is the key part of your business strategy. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere so all customers are greeted promptly by name, and with a friendly smile. We go to great lengths to engage with our customers in the sport that we are all passionate about. We organize group rides so that we can enjoy the freedom of the open road together. We also hold tech seminars so that we can guide those who wish to perform some of their own service.
We take pride in spending the right amount of time with each customer when they purchase a new or pre-owned machine from us. It is important to us that the owner / enthusiasts spend time greeting and welcoming each customer. When a sale of a unit is made, the salesman does a very in-depth walk through of operation and basic maintenance of the machine.
This is a question and answer time so that the customer has a complete feel for their ride. The customer is introduced to each department so that they can feel confident that no matter what their needs are, there is a person dedicated to help them at any time. Every customer is paired with one of our technicians who then sets up the suspension specific to the customer's riding style.
We take photos of each customer and put them on the "meet the Cyclewise Inc. family" wall. After the purchase the customer receives a follow up by phone and then a series of thank you notes and letters from each department through our Follow Up Sales System. We work hard to create a family environment for our customers and we are thrilled to help our customers gain new techniques and comfort on their machine. To help achieve this, each year we organize four to five track days for customers to attend. We believe that there is no better place to learn about the abilities of the bike and rider, and gain new riding skills. We arrange the transportation and lodging for a worry-free experience. We spend a day prepping the bikes with them, loading them into the trailers, answering questions and making sure proper gear is available. We share a meal together on our three-hour journey to the track and enjoy the stories of riding. We provide a hospitality tent with extra drinks and food along with tech support for all the riders.
This year, we brought 27 riders to the Ducati Revs New England track day and presented them all with a personalized jersey. We wore the jerseys all day so that the personal photographer that we brought with us could capture each customer throughout the day and provide them with photos to remember their experience. We also have a standing tradition that passes on a rubber chicken to a rider that stands out for the day. This is presented after the track day at dinner on the way home. Each customer that experiences these track days reports back that their skills have improved and their permanent smiled tells the rest. They are hooked, and forever part of the Cyclewise / Ducati Vermont family
We stress that our employees listen and understand the customers and demonstrate our commitment to customers through respect, knowledge, responsiveness, and courtesy. We hold staff meetings and share feedback from our customers and other customer service experiences outside of the dealership. We critique each other and talk of ways that we can better ourselves. We send out customer surveys to gather an understanding of what our strengths and weaknesses are so that we can provide the best support to our customers.
Cyclewise / Ducati Vermont makes sure that our staff has access to the tools, training, and resources they need to achieve our customer service goals. Attending seminars and reading circulated articles help foster and strengthen everyone's customer service knowledge. The front-end staff has the authority to make decisions that best satisfy a customer should a difficult situation arise. This approach offers the customer an immediate feeling that they are a priority and that their experience with us is top-notch.
Customer service is nowadays offered in various venues such as online, emails, texts, over the phone and, of course, in person. Our goal is to see that all of these touch points are evaluated and finely tuned so that we can deliver more than what a customer expects. Interacting online with customers can appear cold and impersonal. To counteract this, we respond in a timely manner along with more elaborate answers to ensure that we are delivering the best service possible.
All in all, our ultimate goal is to be the dealership of choice, so we continue to build on our customer service culture within our company in order to deliver exemplary service every time.
Involvement in the Community
As a company, we are just as passionate about our community as we are about our industry -- so we believe greatly in contributing to our community. Our employees and customers are such caring and considerate people that it allows us to make a great impact on a variety of community needs.
Cyclewise Inc / Ducati Vermont's big annual event is the "Ruff Ride," a motorcycle benefit ride that raises money for the local Humane Society. This event consists of gathering monetary sponsorship for each rider on the 100-mile, police-escorted ride through the green mountains ending with a BBQ, music, prizes and raffles on the town green. This year was our fifth annual ride, and the most successful. We had 78 riders attend and just over $10,000 was raised.
As a company, we make several charitable donations throughout the year. We do an annual food drive to support our local food shelf. We support our local and state police departments, fire departments and area rescue squads. We donate to local schools, youth organizations and sports teams as well as attend the Middlebury High School health fair to promote motorcycle and ATV safety awareness. We sponsored the reigning Miss Vermont USA Jamie Dragon, and The Vermont Tractor Pullers Association. We also host or attend several area community events like The Middlebury Mid-Summers Fest and the Annual Chili Cook-Off. We entered and served our own "two-stroke" chili in motorcycle attire as part of our Business Partners membership.
We are also a big part of the local breast cancer awareness group and do several donations to People Facing Hardships as well as the Danny Pion annual wiffleball tournament, which benefits spinal injury research.
Our goal of being recognized in the community as a socially responsible business is taking shape. We have paired with and cross-promoted with area businesses to help each other's growth. We are constantly looking for ways to pull more customers into our quaint town to benefit all businesses that operate here. During our spring open house we hosted a local winery, brewery, insurance agency and deli. Each business set up a booth, displayed their product and mingled with our customers.
To us, it is all about helping people, helping the community grow and thanking the people who support our business.

2014 Outlook
The 6-4, 250-pound Cotton has added 15 pounds of muscle to his frame since the start of 2013, and has the size and strength to be an effective blocker in addition to his receiving skills. During spring ball, Cotton and fellow sophomores Cethan Carter and Trey Foster earned the majority of the snaps with the top offensive unit.
Cotton is the brother of senior offensive guard Jake Cotton, and former NU tight end Ben Cotton. Their father, Barney, is a Husker assistant coach. Sam Cotton was one of 30 Huskers who earned Academic All-Big Ten honors last fall.
2013 (Redshirt Freshman)
2012 (Redshirt)
As a senior, Cotton had 23 receptions, including seven touchdowns. He also played defensive line for Coach Ryan Gottula's team and made 42 tackles, including 7.5 sacks. Cotton's efforts as a senior earned him first-team All-Nebraska honors from the Omaha World-Herald as a defensive lineman, and he was an honorary captain of that team. The Lincoln Journal Star also named him a co-captain of its Super State team, but listed him as a first-team selection at tight end.
Cotton also played a key role as a junior, helping Southeast to a 10-2 record and a trip to the Class A semifinals. He was an honorable-mention all-state pick by both major newspapers as a junior. Rivals.com, Scout.com and 247 Sports all ranked Cotton among the top four players in the state of Nebraska in the class of 2012. Cotton participated in track and field for Southeast, competing in shot put and discus. Cotton committed to Nebraska in June of 2011, and did not take any other visits.
Sam is the son of Barney and Christine Cotton, and he was born on Jan. 27, 1994. He has volunteered his time with the NFL Fuel Up to Play 60 Event, Uplifting Athletes, Husker Heroes and school and hospital visits. He was named to both the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team and Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for his outreach efforts. He is a business administration major and is a three-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll selection. His father earned three letters for the Huskers from 1975 to 1978, as both an offensive and defensive lineman.

Ethiopia: Prime Minister Inaugurates Pharmaceutical Plant
Prime Minister Hailemariam inaugurated the pharmaceutical plant for the UAE's company pharmaceutical giant Julphar' today (February 6th) here in the Gerji area of Addis Ababa.
The inauguration ceremony was also attended by United Arab Emirates Foreign Trade Minister, Sheikha Libna Binti Khalid Al-Kassim, and Foreign Minister Dr. Tedros.
rime Minister Hailemariam said "the facility we are inaugurating today will certainly go a long way in augmenting the overall expansion of investment in this country." He also invited UAE investors to invest further in Ethiopia: "the potential for rewarding investment in Ethiopia is never in short supply and our investor-friendly environment is more than conducive to welcome your investment."
The plant is owned by UAE's pharmaceutical giant, Julphar Pharmaceuticals and MedTech Ethiopia, an Ethiopian Company. The plant which cost 170 million birr, and will offer more than 500 jobs, expects to be exporting its products to Ethiopian and African markets within a short time.
During the ceremony, Dr Tedros Adhanom was presented with an award by the Company for his efforts in assisting the company's establishment in Ethiopia.

The social ladies pulled out all the stops, with Liliane Betancourt, Philippine de Rothschild, Jacqueline de Ribes (recovered, after nine months' treatment in the States, from her mystery illness), Betty Lagardère, Catherine Deneuve, Dodie Rosekrans and Irene Amic in couture. But, fittingly, it was Schlossberg in Chanel and Radziwill in a shimmering gold Balmain sheath who best revived the spirit of Jackie's own elegant simplicity.
Designers, many affiliated with L'Oréal, the evening's sponsor, also showed up in force, including Giorgio Armani (with Kristin Scott Thomas), Miuccia Prada, Azzedine Alaïa, Karl Lagerfeld, Hedi Slimane, Pierre Cardin and Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, better known as the design duo Viktor & Rolf.
A brisk affair, the party had dozens of bodyguards minding the VIPs. How many bodyguards does Horsting have?
"One," he said, motioning toward Snoeren, who held his arms to shelter his design partner. The duo are set to have their own exhibition at the same museum next October.
In keeping with the high tone of the Kennedy White House, there were also a few artists and intellectuals among the beau monde, including novelist Barbara Chase-Riboud. Chase-Riboud met Jackie O on Skorpios in the Seventies, and, with her encouragement, wrote her first novel, "Sally Hemmings." The 1979 historical novel delved at length into the affair between Thomas Jefferson and Hemmings, his slave mistress. "Sally Hemmings" was also Jackie's first effort as a book editor and the basis of a lasting friendship.
"But I could never get my mouth around the word Jackie," confided Chase-Riboud. "She would say, 'You and my mother are the only ones who call me Jacqueline.'"

Appeals court tosses lawsuit brought by muni judges who said Dallas City Council illegally booted them from the bench
An appeals court has thrown out a lawsuit filed by four former municipal judges who claimed the Dallas City Council violated city code when denying them reappointment last year.
The suit was filed by Cheryl Williams, David Indorf, Ruth Logan and Tim Gonzalez, who were booted off the bench after a decidedly contentious, racially charged debate amongst council members — some of whom even walked out during the discussion. In their initial complaint, the quartet alleged that "the City Council has a history of violating judges' rights and removing them from the bench, and that "in this instance, the City Council has gone even further by going outside the law and manipulating the independence of the judiciary."
The city tried to get the lawsuit thrown out, claiming the trial court had no jurisdiction. Moreover, the four judges' terms had expired; city attorneys argued, more or less, that when it came to their (former) jobs, the city couldn't violate their rights because they had no left to violate. The trial court agreed with the muni judges and let the case proceed.
But a panel of judges on the Fifth Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's ruling and dismissed the case.
The entire ruling is below, but long story short, writes Justice Michael O'Neill in the 10-page ruling, "The Council is not required to appoint them to judgeships."
The foursome can appeal the ruling. City Hall, on the other hand, hopes that's that.
"The City is pleased that the Dallas Court of Appeals has dismissed the lawsuit filed by four municipal judges who were not reappointed by the City Council in August 2012," says a statement from spokesman Frank Librio. "Those judges sought a declaration that the City Council had violated the law when making the judicial appointments and requested an injunction to stop the publication of the ordinance appointing new municipal judges. The Court of Appeals found that the former judges did not have standing to seek relief and that the relief they sought was moot and would result in a prohibited advisory opinion. This ruling upholds the City Council's right to select the persons it determines are best suited to serve the city as municipal judges." Continue reading

Dot work tattoos are one of the most intricate styles, creating amazing images and detail with nothing but millions of tiny dots. It takes an infinite amount of patience on the part of the tattoo artist, placing the tattooed dots one at a time. Some artists have even abandoned the tattoo machine and now specialize in dot shading tattoos using the hand-poke method.
If you'd like to get a tattoo done in the stipple shading style, it's important that you realize that not all dotwork tattoos are created equal. If the artist isn't patient, they won't achieve the desired results. Don't think that dots don't require artistic skill – subtlety and delicate gradients are very important in this kind of tattoo. So, I've put a collection together of some of the best dotwork tattoos I could find for you to use as inspiration. Enjoy!

|Regulatory Story
|Go to market news section
1 February 2013
Victoria PLC
('Victoria,' the 'Company,' or the 'Group')
Proposed Contract with a Director
At the time of the appointment of the current Board on 3 October 2012, the Victoria Directors made it clear that they wished to directly link the performance and reward of key personnel to the creation of wealth for shareholders. This link has been encouraged, and is supported, by a significant number of private and institutional shareholders who supported the appointment of the Board. The Directors indicated that they would work with the Company's advisers to design an appropriate value creation structure that is completely transparent and totally aligned to the creation of wealth for all shareholders.
Following discussions with the Company's professional advisers, the Company proposes to enter into a contract for differences (the "Contract") with Mr Geoff Wilding. The Contract is intended to ensure that Mr Wilding is encouraged to generate significant value for all shareholders and is structured so that he will only benefit financially from the Contract after shareholders have received a substantial, near term return from their shareholdings. Furthermore, to participate in the value creation structure, Mr Wilding is required to pay a non-refundable premium of £20,000 to the Company as a condition of entering into the Contract, which is intended to reflect the market value of the Contract, and he is exposed to the risk of being required to make a further payment to the Company of up to £100,000 under the Contract in certain circumstances if shareholder value (as defined in the Contract) is depleted.
A circular (the "Circular") containing full details of the proposal and the Contract, which is subject to the approval of shareholders, is being posted to shareholders today and will be available on the Company's website. The following paragraphs contain some of the details contained in the Circular:
The Board's Strategy
The Board's strategy for the Company has the following key objectives:
Growth. The Board's strategy is to grow the Company - both in the UK and Australia. No strategic
opportunity is being ruled in or out. In particular, strong opportunities exist in Australia where Mr Wilding's knowledge and expertise will be especially helpful.
Productivity improvement. Based on comparative analysis, the Board believes there are significant
opportunities to improve productivity in some parts of the business.
New opportunities. The board understands where the high growth opportunities are in the markets
in which Victoria operates and where Victoria is missing out. The Board plans to reposition Victoria to take advantage of these high growth areas.
Dispose of non-core and underperforming assets. Certain low yield and/or non-core assets will
be sold to free up capital to invest into more productive opportunities and improve returns to shareholders.
Working capital management. The Directors consider that Victoria has too much of its resources
tied up in working capital. The Directors have already taken action to improve the Company's
management of working capital.
The Directors believe that adopting this strategy and achieving the objectives which emerge from it will maximise the creation of value for all Shareholders.
Current Trading
Since their appointment to the Board in October, it has become apparent to the Directors that Victoria is facing some real challenges. The Group is experiencing strong economic headwinds in each of its major markets, has a cost structure that is too high for its current level of business, limited competition advantages, excessive debt levels in the UK, surplus production capability (in a sector with abundant surplus production capacity) and a considerable over supply of stock in the UK. These issues are reflected in the disappointing results for the 26 weeks ended 29 September 2012 announced in November. However, Victoria is well known for producing superb quality carpets, has an enviable reputation for service, and employs some talented and committed people. Since their appointment, the Directors have begun to build on these foundations to address the key issues facing the business.
The Contract
Following discussions with the Company's professional advisers, the Board believes that the proposed
Contract is an appropriate way of aligning the interests of Mr Wilding, as the key executive responsible for putting the Company's strategy into effect and achieving the key objectives which emerge from the strategy, with the interest of all shareholders. A significant number of shareholders have expressed to the Board a desire to see shareholder value and returns generated in the near term. The proposed Contract reflects these wishes and requires substantial returns to be made to shareholders in the next two years before the Contract has any value to Mr Wilding.
At least £3 per Share must be returned to shareholders within the next two years before any value can accrue to Mr Wilding under the Contract. Victoria's share price has exceeded £3 per share for only a short period (between December 2011 and April 2012) over the past five years and for much of that period (January to March 2012) the Company was in a formal sale process. That process did not result in any offer being made for the Group. If at least £3 per share is returned to shareholders within the next two years, Mr Wilding will begin to accrue value under the Contract and will be entitled to a share of additional shareholder value, the quantum of which is determined by reference to the amount by which total shareholder value exceeds a hurdle, subject to overall caps on the quantum of the payment. Full details of this formula and how Mr Wilding's value is determined are contained in the Circular. Since Mr Wilding's share of further shareholder value increases as more value is created for shareholders, and given the investment required to be made by him in the Contract and the risk of loss, his interests are directly aligned with shareholders. The Board believes that in creating this direct and transparent link between the value of the Contract and shareholder value, shareholders stand to benefit most from Mr Wilding's relevant experience, commitment and skills.
The Contract will comprise a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules. Neither Mr Wilding, who is interested in the proposed Contract as a party to it, nor Alexander Anton, who may benefit under the Contract by personal arrangement with Mr Wilding, has participated in the board's consideration of the proposed contract. Mr Andrew Harrison, as the sole independent Director, having consulted with Seymour Pierce Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, considers that the terms of the Contract are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
General Meeting
Approval is being sought for the Company to enter into the Contract. A General Meeting is being convened for 10.00 a.m. on 20 February 2013 for this purpose.

Audio & Visual Services
The Audio & Visual department at the University of Miami - School of Business is well equipped to handle many situations and events. As far as services, this department can maintain existing equipment and edit captured photos and videos. Please feel free to contact our department with any requests, as some services may not be listed here.
Contact Number:
- 305.284.3606 / 8x3606
Hours of Operation
- Weekdays: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
There are several laptops that can be loaned out for a period of time to help School of Business faculty accomplish more on the go.
Audio Visual prides itself on its commitment to efficiently support all equipment present in the School of Business and the end-users. Weekly, classrooms and other vital areas are checked to ensure that the equipment functions correctly.
During events, there is a trained technician always on hand to remedy any problems that may arise. Audio Visual's support also extends to the end-user. The technicians in the department can troubleshoot and give tutorials about the various systems in place.
Our commitment to support is unrivaled throughout the school of business.
Audio & Visual Capture
The department is well equipped to record live video or audio in many settings. If you need any recording done, please call and schedule an appointment and a technician will accommodate you.
Audio & Video Post Production
After recording lectures, special presentations or even events in the Storer Auditorium the AV department is well equipped to edit and produce professional quality video and audio clips for distribution online or internally. If you have a media to be edited, call an AV technician and schedule an appointment to go over the details. After the appointment is set, please note that it will take a few days to process media clips.
3D Virtual Photo Shoots
We shoot a 360 image using the QuickTime One VR that can be used for virtual tour of classrooms, offices, labs, or common spaces on campus.
Live Event Broadcasting
We can stream video and/or audio from any event in Storer Auditorium via Livestream. We can also negotiate the streaming of remote events on campus depending on the particular event and location.
Photography is another service offered by the Audio Visual department. There is usually a photographer at main events like orientation or luncheons in the Executive Dining Room. If you need photos for an event please call a few days in advance to book the photographer. After the event the photos can be lightly edited.
Questions & Answers
How do I operate the classroom equipment?What is the procedure to follow to ensure that my event will have Audio & Visual support?
The SBA classrooms are all equipped with touch panels that perform all functions available in the classrooms. To operate the projector and other components, turn on the system via the button on the touch panel and use the source select menu to choose between the various audio and video output sources.How do I report a problem with AV equipment?
First, check to see that the space you plan to use is free through the appropriate channels. If the space is not booked, make a reservation and then call the AV department at extension 3606 or 305-284-3606. It is important that you notify the A/V department in advance to schedule your event especially if you will also need equipment. Laptops and other equipment have to be leased in order to keep track of them. Also, upon receiving your notification the department can collect all of the required items and pre-configure them.
Once your event is on the AV calendar, we will have someone on hand at the event to take care of the initial setup and also to handle any problems that may arise.
The Audio & Visual department does checks on all of the equipment used regularly so usually there is little chance of failure. Either way if any equipment malfunctions, please call the AV department and report the problem. Minor issues can be resolved over the phone while more complex issues will require direct attention. The technician will evaluate the severity and act accordingly.

A storm has swept through an open-air music festival in eastern Belgium, killing at least five people and injuring more than 70 others.
Organisers estimated some 60,000 people were at the three-day festival on Thursday when the storm broke. Many fled after the storm turned the festival site into a scene of mud and destruction in a matter of about 10 minutes.
Video from the site showed stage equipment dangling in high winds near the town of Hasselt, about 80km east of Brussels, as rain-soaked concertgoers at the Pukkelpop music festival ran for cover.
Hugo Simons, Hasselt's head of emergency medical planning, told a local radio station that three people died, 11 were severely injured and 60 sustained light injuries as a result of the storm.
Hilde Claes, Hasselt's mayor, said those injured were taken to several nearby hospitals.
Chokri Mahassine, the organiser of the Belgian festival, said "We have for now put the festival on hold until we understand the situation completely".
It is the second deadly incident at an outdoors festival within a week. On Saturday, parts of a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis, in the US state of Indiana, killing five people and injuring dozens after winds as strong as 112 kph hit the site.
Dutch NOS television reporter Rick Hoogkamp, who was attending the concert Thursday, said the sky got dark, winds picked up violently and hailstones pelted those gathered.
He said several tents collapsed. Images of the disaster also showed fallen trees and fallen scaffolds.

-Apache Hadoop Hackathon: 5/18 in Palo Alto and San Francisco
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Apache Hadoop Hackathon yesterday in
Palo Alto and San Francisco. We had 35 people sign up from a great cross
section of companies: Yahoo!, Cloudera, Facebook, Apple, Twitter,
Foursquare, AOL, Ngmoco, StumbleUpon, Trend Micro, Conviva, and more. We had
committers from the HBase, Hive, Pig, and Oozie projects ensuring their
projects work with the upcoming 0.22 release, and a number of folks got
their first patches up. The 0.22 branch is now being built by Jenkins and
we're in good shape to get a release candidate up soon.
We had so much fun that we're going to do it again!
Join us next Wednesday, May 18th, in either San Francisco or Palo Alto, and
help us continue the march to get feature development back on trunk. We'll
have a special guest in Palo Alto: Nigel Daley, Apache Hadoop PMC member and
the release manager for the 0.22 release. If you're a sysadmin or devops
person and want to help us build and test Apache Hadoop, this Hackathon will
be a great chance to learn about how it's done. Of course we'd also love to
have developers looking to get their first patches into Hadoop as well.
Sign up at http://hadoophackathon.eventbrite.com and we'll see you

Pronounced: um-BILL-ick-ul cord PRO-lapseEn Español (Spanish Version)
The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta, an organ that provides nutrition. Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the umbilical cord passes through the birth canal and into the vagina in front of the baby's head. It occurs after the membranes have ruptured.
As the baby passes through the birth canal during labor, it puts pressure on the umbilical cord. This compression of the umbilical cord decreases or can completely cut off blood flow and oxygen to the baby.
Umbilical cord prolapse is a dangerous condition that can cause stillbirth unless the baby is delivered quickly, usually by cesarean section (C-section). Most babies delivered quickly through cesarean section do not suffer from complications caused by this condition.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Umbilical cord prolapse is cause by the umbilical cord coming out of the uterus before the baby's head.
Factors that increase your chance of getting umbilical cord prolapse include:
Seeing or feeling the umbilical cord in the vagina before the baby's delivery is a symptom of umbilical cord prolapse.
The diagnosis is made when a pelvic examination is done to see and feel the umbilical cord present in the vagina in front of the baby's head.
Treatment options include:

|How to spell my name, and something to remember about news sites.
My post about preserving and archiving old MMORPGs got picked up by a lot of news sites. A lot of people have written to tell me in particular about Ten Ton Hammer's coverage of it:
Adam Clegg, who formerly worked on Warhammer at EA/Mythic before joining Mark Jacobs at City State Entertainment, has called on EA to release one final build of the game with a developer single player…
I'm not sure who Adam is; my name and mini-bio are at the bottom of every post. Now, I hate to pick on Ten Ton Hammer in particular. They're good people, and I read their site. I could point out some sort of flaw or inconsistency in the way every gaming site covered the Warhammer shutdown, and that's the point here. Ten Ton Hammer's mistake just gets to be the example because you don't need insider knowledge to spot it. Borrowing from my cousin Jason, who's gotten himself into his share of news stories over the years:
I'm not the least bit annoyed at Ten Ton Hammer. It's just how things are; reporters have deadlines and facts don't always get checked and sometimes the fact-checking checks out wrong. Code ships with bugs, too. Just remember those two questions the next time you read a completely authoritative article about Syria.

State-of-the-art medical centre in Cleethorpes set to open soon
Posted: January 09, 2013|
DOCTORS are "very excited" to be moving into Cleethorpes' new super surgery.
On February 18, two surgeries will move into a state-of-the-art healthcare centre on the site of the demolished Lynton pub, Taylor's Avenue. It will treat 6,000 patients a year, with a pharmacy and convenience store.
Dr Zaro's surgery, Aspen Court, Cleethorpes, has expanded before the move, taking on a new partner GPfrom another local surgery and becoming Doctors Mushtag Ahmed Zaro and Omar Qureshi.
Practice manager Jane Lond said they will offer minor surgery – such as the removal of small cysts and toenails.

Shoppers' thumbs up to controversial Spar store inside Cleethorpes' Taylor's Avenue Medical Centre
She said: "Our staff and patients are very excited about the move which will allow us to improve the quality of our service and offer more, rather than referring people elsewhere.
"This has allowed Dr Qureshi to join as a partner which will increase the number of patients.
"Most of the preparations for the move are already complete and it will take place over a weekend."
Construction company Lindum, contracted to build the centre for client Ryedale Estates Ltd, has confirmed they are on track for the planned handover to North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus.
Cathy Kennedy, deputy chief executive of the North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said the centre was the final development in a ten-year local investment.
She added: "This programme has dramatically improved the environment for the provision of GP services to the population of North East Lincolnshire and supported better integration of a range of health and social care services. It has enabled more services to be delivered from high quality community-based facilities."
The pub closed in March 2010 and the Primary Care Trust said it was considering the site for a large-scale medical facility that May.
In February 2011, North East Lincolnshire Council rejected the application because the convenience store would impact on nearby shops and increase traffic.
Plans were re-submitted in April that year and approved.
Demolition work began a month later, and the pub was reduced to rubble by October.

London Session: The Fed stays cautious – should the ECB do the same?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Kathleen Brooks | February 1, 2013 1:07 AM EST
Don't forget that you can now follow Forex.com's research team on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FOREXcom
The Fed did as expected yesterday, there was no policy change and the tone to the statement remained cautious. The statement made reference to the weak Q4 growth figures and the pause in economic growth; however it noted that the disruption to growth in Q4 may have been due to weather-related disruptions and transitory factors. While housing and business investment are doing well, employment and inflation are the key concerns, and since these are the Fed's duel mandates the persistent disappoint in employment and threat of inflation falling below 2% in the long-term should keep monetary policy lose for some time yet.
Watch initial jobless data
The Fed has directly tied its latest round of QE to the employment rate, saying yesterday that if the labour market does not "improve substantially" then it will continue purchasing its $85bn of mortgage-backed and treasury securities each month. The Fed's target is still a 6.5% unemployment rate; however the Fed will also consider other measures of labour market conditions when it makes policy decisions in future. This could be significant as initial jobless claims have tumbled to their lowest level since 2007, and are looking far healthier than the overall unemployment rate. This is unlikely to sway the Fed at this stage, but if initial jobless claims continue to decline then we could see the Fed start to change its rhetoric in the coming months. Thus, last week's initial jobless data, which is released this afternoon, will be watched closely.
The Fed's cap on Treasury yields
The Fed's dovishness has two implications for traders: 1, it makes the ECB look super hawkish, and 2, it could keep Treasury yields capped. 10-year Treasury yields backed off from 2% - the highest level since April 2012 - after the Fed statement and the dollar continued to decline. This knocked USDJPY, which declined to 90.75 earlier. 91.50 is a major resistance level and looks like it could be a temporary top. We may consolidate from here while we wait for tomorrow's payrolls data. This is by far the most important release of the week and could be the key driver to see if Treasury yields get above 2% or linger below this level, which is a key driver of USDJPY.
Stocks: now it's time for the hangover...
European stocks have opened weaker after declines in the US yesterday. The SPX 500 continues to hold onto the 1,500 level, but only just. Another down day could see it decline to 1,480 then to 1,450. The same is true of the FTSE and the Dax. However, this does not mean that the trend is coming to an end. There is still a lot of demand out there and a desire to shift from bonds to equities, which could power another leg higher in this rally. The problem for stocks is that they have come too far a bit too fast and are looking extremely overbought. Like the partygoer who has had one too many night's out in a row, the markets need to take a rest to clear their hangovers before getting back on it. Thus, a temporary pullback could be on the cards.
The weak tone to economic data is clashing with the better earnings data in the US. However, combined with the view that Q4 economic weakness in the US was caused by temporary factors that could boost growth in Q1, the fundamental back drop may not be too bad for stocks to extend gains either. A pullback has been on the cards ever since a hangman candle pattern in the SPX 500 on 11th Jan. This was not the most accurate signal (the index rose 2% since then) but it was a good warning signal that 1,500 could be a major take profit level for the market.
The ECB - still at the hawkish end of the CB spectrum
Elsewhere, economic data today has been mixed. UK house prices rose, German retail sales tanked in December along with French producer prices and consumer spending. The bright spot was more good news for the German labour market. Unemployment fell 16k in Jan, pushing the unemployment rate down 0.1% to 6.8%. The dichotomy in the Eurozone is making policy decisions even harder for the ECB. While we tend to think that the ECB will remain on the "hawkish" end of the G10 central bank spectrum, the Fed decision has brought into sharp relief the opposing stances of the ECB and the Fed, which is ultimately EURUSD positive. While the Fed is expanding its balance sheet the size of the ECB's balance sheet has declined more than 3% since the start of 2013. This is a fairly rapid pace of decline, which has fuelled some tightening in in the benchmark euro money market rate Euribor. Thus, with German economic signals remaining strong and continued stabilisation in the currency bloc, the euro may continue to extend recent gains. 1.36 is likely to prove a tough level of resistance for EURUSD, and we could see some stickiness at this level, however above here opens the way for a sharper move to 1.38, which then leaves 1.40 on the horizon.
Look out for initial jobless data and PCE inflation data due at 1330GMT. Jobless data out of Japan is also due later tonight.
One to watch: EURUSD
This cross has brushed off the bearish harami pattern from earlier this week, but it still suggests there could be some stickiness in the short term. US Payrolls data is the next driver for this cross. A bearish number could fuel further gains above 1.3600 to 1.38. In the short term, key support is 1.3560 - daily pivot - above to 1.3605. If there is further downside then 1.3520 should act as a strong support zone.
EURUSD hourly chart - hitting the 1.36 brick wall

Post-trip: Zanzibar, Tanzania
Welcome to Zanzibar, an exotic archipelago just 25 miles off the coast of Tanzania. We'll explore its unique heritage in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on an excursion to a spice plantation. We'll also encounter everyday life in this autonomous region of Tanzania, and immerse ourselves in the island's riches during a visit to a nature preserve.
- It's Included:
- Roundtrip airfare between Arusha and Zanzibar
- Accommodations for 5 nights in Zanzibar
- 9 meals—5 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners
- 7 small group activities
- Services of a local Trip Leader
- All transfers
- Porterage for 1 bag per person
hiddenDay 1Arusha • Zanzibar
After bidding farewell to those travel companions who are returning home today from Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge & Tented Safari, we'll take a short flight from Arusha to Zanzibar Island—known as Unguja to locals. Upon arrival, we'll check into our hotel and later, enjoy a Welcome Dinner.
hiddenDay 2Zanzibar • Explore Stone Town • Optional Cooking Lesson
Set out this morning on an included tour of historic Stone Town, one of the most charming and ancient towns in East Africa. As we wander the narrow streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, admire the fine buildings that reflect the city's historical mix of African, Arab, Indian, and European cultures.
The cultural hub of Zanzibar Island, Stone Town appears to have been frozen in time two centuries ago, when Zanzibar was at its peak as an Indian Ocean trading center. Along its warren of narrow streets, we'll view a blend of empires, from Persian and Portuguese to an Omani sultanate and finally British rule-all with a hint of the native Swahili culture.
Arab merchants once competed for the most extravagant residence, as we'll see by the many grand mansions with their brass-studded, elaborately carved doors. We'll also see the famous Old Dispensary; the home where explorer Dr. David Livingstone lived before his famous expedition to the mainland; the House of Wonders, a former palace that was also the first house in Zanzibar to have electricity; the Arab fort; and the bustling market. While here, it might be difficult to remember that Stone Town is a thriving community and not a movie set.
You will have plenty of opportunity to get acquainted with its treasures during your afternoon at leisure. Delve into the history of Zanzibar at the Peace Memorial Museum or the Palace Museum. Return to the late 17th-century Arab fort to marvel at its ramparts and browse the shops here. Explore the House of Wonders and the Old Dispensary in depth. And immerse yourself in the exhilarating hubbub of the local market. Or, opt to join an optional Stone Town Cooking Lesson. Expand your cooking knowledge with an in-depth lesson on Zanzibar's creative cuisine. At a restaurant in Stone Town, a recognized chef will provide background on signature dishes from the region including; Briyani, Mseto, and Wali. You'll learn how to incorporate different spices into a dish that you prepare and get to dine on your creations to taste the complex flavors found in the local dishes.
You'll also find many options for lunch and dinner on your own.
hiddenDay 3Kizimkazi • Dolphin-watching sailboat excursion • Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park
We'll wake early this morning for a full day of adventure. After breakfast at our hotel, depart for the coastal village of Kizimkazi, where we'll board a swift sailboat in search of dolphins. The shallow waters off Kizimkazi are home to two species—the common bottlenose and the humpback—that gravitate here to find reliable food, to care for their young, and to rest. Several large dolphin pods even stay here year-round, and so our chances of sighting a few of their members are good. We may even get the chance to swim and snorkel in their midst.
Back on dry land, we'll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar's only national park. Known for its unique ecosystem of mature forest resting upon a limestone reef, Jozani hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna. As we explore amidst plants like the strangler fig tree and raffia fern, we'll watch for the park's most famous resident—the Red Colobus monkey. Endemic to Zanzibar, the Red Colobus is one of the rarest species in Africa, with less than 2,000 remaining in the world.
We'll return to our hotel in the evening. Enjoy time to unwind and to dine on your own.
hiddenDay 4Zanzibar • Spice Tour • Turtle Sanctuary
This morning, we'll visit a local essential oil distillery and learn about the organic cultivation process. Continue to a local spice plantation where the commodity that gave the Spice Islands their name is still cultivated. Cloves were introduced to Zanzibar in 1818, and the archipelago quickly became the world's leading producer. It remains a major crop here today. As we ride out into the gently rolling hills that undulate away from the city, view lush tropical plants, cinnamon trees, vanilla trees, and fruit trees. Learn more about the art and history of the cultivation of spices—and perhaps see whether you can identify clove, cardamom, nutmeg, peppercorn, and various fruits including jackfruit, pineapple, and coconut.
After lunch, we'll get a firsthand glimpse at the everyday lives—and enduring traditions—of the local people. We begin by venturing to the island's northeast coast, to a beach community. Here we'll gain insight into the local community by visiting markets selling fish, dhow builders, and a renowned blacksmith. More than 30 world-class beaches line the coasts of Zanzibar Island—which itself is just 50 miles long. With its warm currents year-round, the sea here attracts a variety of marine life, as we can see in its pristine, shallow waters and lush coral reefs. Here, our small group will visit a turtle sanctuary whose efforts help protect hawksbill and green turtles historically poached around Zanzibar for their shells and meat.
Next, we transfer back to our hotel, where our afternoon is at leisure. Dinner is on your own this evening.
hiddenDay 5Zanzibar • Visit Slave Caves • Kidichi Baths
After breakfast, we'll depart for the Mangapwani Slave Caves. Our first stop is a large natural cave with a flight of stone steps leading to a freshwater pool. Our second, a square-shaped cell cut into the coralline rock, was built as a holding area for slaves in transit from the mainland to Zanzibar Town or island plantations. It is widely believed that both caves were used to hide slaves illegally after the trade was abolished in 1873.
Next, we'll visit the village of Kizimbani to explore the well-preserved Persian baths that were built in 1850 by Princess Salme's father for his Persian second wife. Because depictions of living creatures are forbidden in Islamic art, Persian craftsmen were brought to Zanzibar to construct and decorate the baths. You'll also note the clever use of skylights to provide light to these windowless rooms.
This afternoon and lunch is on your own. Tonight, enjoy a Farewell Dinner with your fellow travelers as well as a sunset dhow cruise.
hiddenDay 6Zanzibar • Optional Prison Island Tour • Return to U.S. via Amsterdam
Today is at leisure to make your own discoveries or join an optional Prison Island Tour. Just off the coast of Zanzibar's Stone Town, Prison Island was originally intended to house runaway slaves, however, it was never actually used as a prison. Today this tropical island acts as a sanctuary for giant tortoises—some which are more than 100 years old. You'll enjoy the opportunity to interact with exotic wildlife and gain insight into its unique local history as you enjoy stunning views of white sandbars and the crystal-clear water that surrounds the island.
Later this afternoon, we fly to Dar es Salaam Airport and depart on our overnight flight home, via Amsterdam, arriving the next day.

We will be lucky to maintain top ten unless issues are not sorted out quickly. I fear that the January window will be another bleak window of discontent for us though. It's all about who we will loose, not who comes in. We all know what awaits though in think.
A Winter Tale
What can be taken from the Norwich defeat? Not a huge amount except that in January new defensive recruits are required and that bookings are going to affect this team unless discipline is reigned in to stop the cards flying from referee's pockets.
Swansea, West Brom and Bolton await. If Alan Pardew wants to maintain a stake in the top seven then all three teams must be put to the sword. 9 points would practically assure the Magpies of their Premier League status moving into the new year. Injuries are the main issue and those who are left to fill the void are not inspiring, James Perch, Tamas Kadar and Mike Williamson are Championship quality players.
Our midfield can still hold its on but new additions in defence and up front are required to guarantee the club don't lose heart and start focusing on a mid table finish.
Alan Pardew has in the past few months been mentioned with the England Job and as a stellar coach and manager. The true tests of his managerial reign are yet to come and it must be remembered that he has to guarantee our Premier League survival first and that he has won nothing yet.
Lets hope this will be a winter where the temperatures can't freeze the passion for success around St James' Park, I mean #cough# The Sports Direct Arena #cough#.

Article Marketing Meets Video Marketing: Turn Articles into Videos
Thanks to Gord Young for introducing me to this fantastic service that combines article marketing with video marketing and enables you to turn your articles into videos quickly and simply.
Watch these 2 videos on Article Video Robot as I walk you through creating a video out of one of my own articles.
This is so powerful for reaching new people, building relationships, increasing accessibility to your content, and leveraging the things you already do.
The service offers stock photos and music (as well as video if you are a business member) to add to your videos. Plus you can choose a computerized voiceover or you can record it yourself (either pre-record or record it live).
I'm not a big fan of computerized voiceovers (big surprise!) but I know many of you have already discovered Odiogo, which will automatically turn your articles into audio – again, great for added accessibility on your blog. I would prefer to hear you read your articles because what you have written in your own "voice" is bound to sound better in your own voice, but I know many are not as comfortable with recording their voice as I am (go on….bust through that comfort zone!).
This is the final version of the video I made:
Obviously, you will want to play around with the tools to perfect your videos and Article Video Robot offers a free 14 day trial in order to do this. Unfortunately, they only allow you to do certain things with the free videos you have created so you cannot upload them to Youtube or download them – you are reliant on the embed code, which I have used here (and find a bit stuttery and unreliable).
Also, the live recording doesn't conform to my audio perfectionism streak (some might call me anal) but I can overcome that by pre-recording and uploading the mp3 (see the Audacity tutorials if you are unsure how to do this).
But, overall this service is exceptional and means you can harness the power of article marketing AND video marketing: more online real estate, more quality backlinks and greater accessibility.
Go and try out Article Video Robot for yourself, and if you decide to buy, add tryme30 on the payment page for a 30% discount (join the Summer of Sound mailing list near the top right of this blog before 10th September 2009 to receive a full 50% discount)
