Portrait of a Neighborhood
Just outside the medieval walls that once surrounded Paris, on a steep hillside, the neighborhood of Montmartre overlooks the City of Light. Today, Montmartre has become a must-see tourist destination. Its coffee shops, wine bars, street artists, and winding roads offer a snapshot of an older, romanticized Paris, and its monumental Sacré Cœur Basilica, constructed from the end of the nineteenth century until 1914, still bustles with visitors and pilgrims.
However, for much of its history, Montmartre's relative remoteness from the capital's center permitted it to remain a safe haven from levies and police control. It also escaped the many changes to Paris's urban landscape, most notably the introduction of broad boulevards which were carved into the heart of the city when Baron Georges Haussmann's civic plans were implemented. As such, Montmartre continued to be one of Paris's cheap, working class neighborhoods, attracting members of its nascent bohemian culture, composed primarily of leftist political reformers, musicians, writers, and visual artists.
These same artists ventured down to Montmartre's southernmost boulevards to participate in Paris's reinvigorated cabarets artistiques, which offered a cheap and bawdy alternative to more refined song and dance venues located centrally in the city. On Paris's outskirts, Rodolphe Salis, Aristide Bruant, and other proprietors established these now famous cabarets: Le Chat Noir (1881), Le Mirliton (1885) and Le Moulin Rouge (1889).
Le Chat Noir and Le Mirliton promoted themselves with eponymous serial publications that documented their raucous musical performances, popularized dances showcased in their cabarets, and helped make celebrities and icons out of the composers, singers, dancers, illustrators, and writers that participated in the loose and licentious social milieus that each proprietor and his establishment cultivated.

A company-sponsored Section 529 college-savings plan is a potential revenue source for financial advisers, experts say. The plan is popular with workers and relatively inexpensive for employers, because costs often are waived for companies with 200 or more employees. Only 15% of companies with a 401(k) plan also offer a Section 529 plan as an employee benefit, according to the 2012 PlanSponsor Defined Contribution Survey.

What can you do to get an edge over the competition?
So you are on the job market looking around for your next challenge or the next step up the wrung of the career ladder. Getting a CV looking professional and across to companies you want to work for is one thing, but the single most important factor is what to do once you are sitting there in front of an interviewer.
This is your moment to shine and you want to make a good impression. It's very rare that if you mess up you will be given a second shot. Preparation is the key to success in this instance and it can make a huge difference. Failure should not be an option if you are truly serious about landing that dream job. So what exactly can you do to get an edge over the competition?
Well, apparently knowledge is power and thanks to the wonders of technology and the Internet, it's something you can easily get your nose into. Bring up their website and make sure you have a thorough read. Go through all the pages and take notes. Keep an eye out for interesting facts or things that may not be so obvious to the casual viewer. One of the most frequently asked questions at an interview is "What do you know about our company?" Ensure you can answer this with an instant and insightful answer.
Look at their blog if they have one and even take a look at their Twitter feed and the LinkedIn profiles of their staff. Especially take a close look at the profile of the person interviewing you. Try and find some common ground. An interview is about personality fit as well as skills and experience. If you happen to share interests, work them into the conversation. People generally love to talk about themselves and so it's good to know exactly what they do and how long they have been working there. It also shows you have done your research if you know this information.
Remember the walk to the interview room, too. It's often overlooked and can be an awkward silent moment. If you know the interviewer enjoys skiing and you do too, mention it. It's the small things like this that can help break the ice and build some rapport.
Now for some of the more mundane but often overlooked facts. They may sound dumb, but I have been in the industry a long time and seen people fall at the first hurdle many times because they missed the basics.
Firstly, make sure you know how to get there. Google Maps is your friend here; and always print a copy of the map off. Even if you have a shiny new smartphone, plan for the worst. What if the battery dies? No signal? We all know this can happen. If going by public transport, plan your route. Are you driving? Then where can you park?
And above all, arrive early. Aim to get there about 15 minutes before the interview. This will give you time to calm down and mentally prepare. If offered a drink, take one. Preferably water as you can quickly take a sip to ensure you don't have a dry throat. It can also buy you a vital few seconds to collect your thoughts if you get a little flustered. Now if you happen to be a smoker, ensure you don't have one before going in. A non-smoker will pick the smell up a mile away and trust me, it's far from pleasant. Get some mints and dose up.
I often get asked by applicants where to sit when they enter the interview room. Generally sit on the far side of the table and when your interviewer arrives, stand up and give them a firm handshake, but don't try and break their hand. A visit to the ER would not be a good start to the interviewer's day.
When in the actual interview, make sure you have all your facts and figures memorized. Take the time to learn your CV and, it goes without saying, do not fake it. If asked something you don't know, be honest and say "I don't know, but I can find out and get back to you." Most people have a reasonably good BS sensor built in.
When asked about your reason for leaving your job, make sure you don't bad-mouth your current employer. It is far better to offer positive reasons, as no one wants to hire negative people.
Always have some good questions prepared. Base them around what you have seen on their website. Ask about the company, its culture, plans for the future, its history, as well as the things you are interested in knowing. Show them that you are interested and serious about working there. Ask about their market strategy and how best you could fit in.
It may sound like a cliché, but close the interview at the end. Companies want to hire people who want to work for them, not just someone who needs a job. You may feel a little nervous, but ask them if they have any concerns about you. They may have misinterpreted something you said or want more clarification on a topic. You can overcome any objections at this stage.
If you genuinely like the company and the job, tell them. Again, they want to hire eager people. If you ask and someone else doesn't, then there is a good chance you may get the job because they feel that you actually want the job. Ask about the next stage and how you compare to other people they have seen.
End with a firm handshake and say goodbye.

NextGuide comes to iPhone - get control of your media viewing
TUAW looked at NextGuide more than a year ago, at which time it was a website and iPad app that alerted TV fans about movies and TV programs they might want to see. It was kind of a super TV Guide, but more personal. The free app has now come to the iPhone, and features push notifications in addition to emails (you can choose to get both or none). In the latest iOS 7-enabled app, NextGuide is deeply integrated with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video and the iTunes Movie Store.
For example, if you are looking for movies starring actor Gregory Peck, the guide will find showings of his films on the streaming services, over-the-air TV, on cable or satellite. You can get a reminder that a movie is coming up, or you can choose to watch Peck films on any streaming services you have. For example, if I click on Netflix, the app switches to my Netflix app, and starts playing the movie. That's very cool.
With NextGuide, you don't have to have watchlists scattered about on different services -- now you can maintain a single list right in this app. The app also features an episode tracker and fall show previews. There are links to reviews from Rotten Tomatoes as well, so the information is pretty much everything a person would need to intelligently find things to watch.
I tried the app and set it for DirecTV, which is my provider, and then added Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. It worked as advertised.
I can think of a few improvements for NextGuide. I'd like to set up some permanent searches, and have the app learn my preferences the way Netflix does. While the app can initiate recordings on DirecTV DVRs, it would be great if that also worked on cable and other services. That would require the cooperation of those companies, which all have their own apps, so I'm not holding my breath on that.
Still, NextGuide is very handy, and provides loads of viewing information in one place. I love the integration with Netflix and Amazon Instant Videos right on my iPhone, and the reminders are valuable.
NextGuide is now a universal app, and it requires iOS 6 or later. It's been nicely optimized for iOS 7 and the iPhone 5 series devices with their larger screens.

Leveraging Instagram "likes" for dollars, upscale department store Nordstrom and Target have launched Like2Buy platforms that look like Instagram and act like Instagram, but link photos directly to product pages on the retailer's site to initiate a purchase.
"This is the first experience of its kind," Bryan Galipeau, Nordstrom's director of social media, told Bloomberg Businessweek. "And it's the closest thing out there—that I'm aware of—in terms of delivering a seamless shopping experience." Nordstrom will keep its original Instagram feed, which has nearly 530,000 followers, but link to the new shadow site.
Instagram has 200 million engaged users who share roughly 60 million photos daily. "Everybody is trying to hack Instagram," said Apu Gupta, cofounder of Curalate, the company that built Like2Buy, adding that so many of Instagram's retail feeds feel like "walking into a flea market."
Social platforms and firms like Curalate are trying to comb through the data to present brands with social engagement metrics that can be interpreted into real-life sales leads. Just last week, Instagram and Tumblr announced new dashboards and metrics that would be available directly to brands.Continue reading...

With marketers pouring buckets of cash and resources into social media campaigns, everyone's wondering: Does it work?
Instagram is now offering a new three-pronged dashboard, the first suite of real-time, self-serve tools for marketers to manage their Instagram accounts and understand the impact of their campaigns.
The "ad insights" tool tracks performance via impressions, reach and engagement, while a second, "account insights," delivers data on non-paid content posted. A third "ad staging" tool enables previews of creative before it goes live on Instagram.
"An advertiser will now have access to a real-time campaign summary and data showing how their target audience is responding to each of their sponsored photos," Instagram said in a blog post. "Also, brand marketers will be able to better understand the best time of day to post a photo or video."
While Instagram had previously been providing brands with reports about their campaigns, that data is now available directly to them.Continue reading...

As the dust settles on the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Samsung and Hyundai are both touting the ROI of their respective social media campaigns.
The final piece of Samsung's Galaxy 11 campaign, Tuesday night's commercial debut of #GALAXY11: The Match Part 2, a follow-up to June's The Match Part 1, concludes the futuristic campaign featuring soccer superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mario Gotze, Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney using Samsung devices and technology in their training—and ultimate defeat of alien rivals.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the 10-month soccer-themed campaign (featuring products including the Galaxy S5 smartphone, Gear 2 watch and Gear Fit fitness tracker) has racked up more than 150 million video views, 4.7 million engagements on social channels and 5 million visits to the Galaxy 11 website.
It's a departure for the Korean company, which has traditionally relied on TV advertising but began paying closer attention to social media to reach consumers after the 2012 Olympics in London.Continue reading...

The latest installment in Marissa Mayer's digital media-focused expansion is Yahoo Beauty, a new digital magazine that will be headed up by beauty guru and cosmetic superstar Bobbi Brown.
The beauty magazine is the latest from Yahoo's new lineup of digital content, which includes Yahoo Food, Yahoo Movies and Yahoo Tech, which is being led by former New York Times columnist David Pogue. More importantly, the mobile-friendly magazine platform is serving as a launchpad for Mayer's greater digital advertising strategy, which she spoke to during her presentation at Cannes Lions.
Yahoo Beauty, which will be sponsored by L'Oreal USA, will focus on "photos and videos, which allow you to see the stories before you ever read them," Brown wrote in a blog post on Tumblr.Continue reading...

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which kicks off on Thursday, may be the most expensive FIFA tournament to date, but it will also be the most social soccer event to ever occur.
For brands on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Google+ and Instagram, hashtags have now become as valuable as 30-second commercials. Among branded hashtags now beckoning World Cup fans, Mondelez has claimed #PassTheLove, Marriott is using #TravelVictories and Johnson & Johnson's Listerine is promoting #PowerToYourMouth in its first global social campaign.
"Connecting with fans posting through social is a critical opportunity for advertisers, who can engage with these viewers and potentially capture the momentum of Twitter TV activity around games to amplify brand messages," Stephen Master, SVP of sport at Nielsen, told Mashable.Continue reading...

Posted by Mark J. Miller on June 3, 2014 12:16 PM
Everywhere consumers turn these days, they can find food on wheels (and a Starbucks). From PB&J to Schnitzel and cupcakes, the food truck craze has shown no signs of slowing down. And with summer finally starting to show its face in the US, Starbucks, itself a purveyor of sweet, frozen treats, is hitting the road to serve up Frappuccinos on the go.
The truck, which had a test run in Hong Kong five years ago, set out on its current trip from San Diego, CA, on May 15, and is now stationed in the Los Angeles area until June 15, according to The Street. Fans will find the usual Starbucks fare as well as limited-time drinks on the truck, and will get to enjoy Jenga, croquet and a digital jukebox as well to complete the experience.Continue reading...

Using your new brewing scuplture for the first time! I used my new setup yesterday for the first time ever. SWMBO got me a 3 roller Crankandstein mill for Christmas, and that thing was absolutely awesome. The base was scavenged from an aborted attempt at a bar, so it's kind of ugly. Works good though. The hopper holds about 25 lbs of grain.
The brewing sculpture itself is a 2 tier with a pump. Mash tun is on top, with HLT and Kettle on bottom. The mash tun is a 70 quart coleman xtreme with an expanded metal false bottom. The nut holding the ball valve sticks up quite a bit, so I had to trim the screen a little bit to make room for it. I've never seen a sparge run this easy before. Some of that was probably because the Crankandstein does such a nice job of leaving the husks intact. I plumbed the pump so that I could used quick connects to pump from any part of the brewery into another. So, the pump has female connectors, while all the other parts have male. The inlet of the pump is the short tube on top, while the outlet can be throttled by a ball valve. The location of the outlet also allows me to drain the pump so it doesn't freeze. Gas for the burners is controlled by two ball valves. They're a little touchy, so I find it easier to use the regulator if I'm only using one burner, which is most of the time. The burners are 170,000 BTU units, and they get the wort boiling in no time. My sparge manifold isn't shown in these pics - it was added the night before I brewed. I need to redo it with smaller holes, since the water just dribbles out instead of spraying.
I am ecstatic about how well this worked. Yesterday was the easiest brew day I've ever had. Having a nice brewing sculpture with a pump makes things so much easier. My old setup consisted of cinder blocks and my garage workbench, so I feel spoiled now. I intend to add a control panel with a switch to control the pump so I don't have to pull the plug to stop it. Also, I want to add a float switch to the mash tun so I can automatically control the level of sparge water. It was 30 degrees in my garage with the burners running, and in a 90 minute mash my mash tun only lost 3 degrees. The best part was that my efficiency worked out to 82%. I'm sure a lot of that was due to the mill, but I think my mash tun is pretty darn slick, too

Part 58
I don't like where this is going at all...
"Well?" Gula prompted, resting her head against him. "What do you think? Let me free. Set us both free..."
Luckily, she'd decided to nuzzle up on his good shoulder, because the writer couldn't bear to have her clinging to him much longer. With all the force he could manage, Nathan thrust his shoulder back, trying to shake her. "Get the fuck off of me," he gritted through his teeth. "Get the hell away!"
The Sin grunted and released her hold, sloughing off of him and falling back. Nathan tried to turn to see if Lumiel had managed to free himself, but Gula screamed in his ear, grabbing onto his hair and jerking his head back. "Imbecile!" she cried, her eyes growing wide. Still holding on, she twisted her body to move in front of him, her mouth spreading into a wicked grin. "Guess you're only good for one thing..." Her mouth continued to stretch, the corners reaching the edge of her jaw as she opened it wide, the bottom extending further than it should have been able to. Saliva dripped from large, razor-like teeth that filled her gaping maw, and a deep growl rose from her throat.
Paralyzing fear wash over Nathan, realizing what she was about to do and that there was no way for him to escape. A rumbling, horrific laugh came from the Sin as she lunged towards him.
"Gula! Desiste!"
The shout came moments before the creature was suddenly flung back by some unseen force, releasing Nathan's head and slamming into another post across the room. Gula's mouth snapped back to its original size, and her body bent and wrapped around the post like a rag-doll. She crumpled to the ground, but was already trying to pull herself back to her feet.
Nathan would have kept his eye on her if not for the hand that brushed his shoulder. He started and looked back just as Lumiel chuckled. "Very clever, taunting her like that," the angel said to him with a smile. He placed one hand over the ropes around Nathan's wrists; the binds fell apart in a shower of hempen threads. "Excessively dangerous, but effective."
"Seriously?" Nathan rubbed his wrists, his skin raw from the rubbing, and stood. For a moment, he was relieved that Lumiel had gotten himself free, but that relief was shattered when he finally saw him. Despite the angel's reassuring smile, he seemed to be forcing back pain. The chains around his hands were gone, but the ones in his wings were still attached, broken away from the ceiling but still weighing him down. And the amount of blood trickling down from them onto the floor seemed to have worsened.
"Yes, seriously," Lumiel said to him before he could remark on his condition. "All angels are guardians at heart, even when we don't have our own charge. Putting yourself in imminent danger was a brilliant way to allow me to break free. As I said before: dangerous, but effective."
"Not for long!"
Gula was back on her feet, making a staggering charge towards them. "You tricked me! Trickery! Worse slave of the Devil... let him keep you trapped then!"
Lumiel stopped smiling and put himself between Nathan and the Sin. His eyes narrowed and turned red. "Leave now, Gula, and perhaps I'll allow you a longer run. Attack again, and I'll seal you away like your sister."
"I'll break your wings off!" the Sin shrieked and lunged herself at them.
There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, but right now we just need to get out of this. Lumiel's weak; he's badly injured and he didn't fair well in the last fight he had with one of the Sins. Maybe I should summon backup... but what if that makes things worse? What should I do?

Bike thieves arrested as Metropolitan Police step up anti-cycle theft initiative
Project Cylcle Ops nets more than 16 arrests in one-week blitz

The Metropolitan Police has said that it made more than 16 arrests last week in an initiative targeting bike thieves.
Project Cycle Ops is a collaboration between the police, Transport for London (TfL) and cycling organisations that aims to tackle bike theft throughout the capital.
Tactics employed to combat the thieves include high visibility police patrols, as well as surveillance, intelligence-led operations and covert policing tactics.
The operation also includes bike marking and registration sessions, as well as police engaging with cyclists to provide security tips.
Chief Superintendent Sultan Taylor from the Metropolitan Police's Safer Transport Command commented: "The increased policing activity, through a wide range of tactics, has seen some excellent results in the capital.
"This activity, which will continue to run across London's 32 boroughs, is part of Project Cycle Ops, a collaborative approach between the MPS, British Transport and City of London Police in partnership with TfL to crack down on cycle theft in the city.
"It's vital that all cyclists are able to leave their locked bike knowing that it will be secure and there when they return."
As reported on road.cc last week, a London bike thief was jailed for 12 weeks earlier this month after he and an accomplice were caught stealing bikes by officers taking part in Project Cycle Ops.

Good news.
I'm a big fan of the cycle marking roadshows as well - I have had three bikes marked by the Met in the last twelve months and it's a great free service.

Good news. But it really is about time they did something, now perhaps they should keep taking an interest in stolen bikes that would be progress.

12 weeks for bike theft - not exactly much of a deterrent for a practice that can net you thousands month after month

Huge missed opportunity here: it should have been 'Project Cyclops'.

Good luck on your upcoming delivery! I think Hudson and Tate are very cute together. Can't you just hear calling them in from playing ball in the back yard;). Love them together.
