Welcome To The Macleay Serviced Apartments / Hotel, Sydney
Sydney is full of fun, excitement and challenges. City to Surf (properly referred to as City2Surf) is one such fun and exciting event that takes place in Sydney each year.
The Sun-Herald City2Surf Sydney is an annual running competition. It is a 14km race from the Hyde Park Corner in the CBD to Bondi Beach. The event is the world's largest running event, participated by more than 80,000 registered runners, each year. This participation exceeds the London Marathon and New York Marathon combined. The funds collected by this race are spent on various charity programs across Australia. In the 2013 City2Surf Sydney run, more than AUD 4 million was raised.
City2Surf started in 1971, with 2000 participants, and was organized by the staff of the Sydney tabloid paper - The Sun. The race was inspired by Bay to Bakers in San Francisco, USA. In 1990, the Sun publication was taken over by the new tabloid paper - The Herald-Sun.
The race covers the suburbs of Easy Sydney, Kings Cross, Double Bay and Rose Bay, all the way to the Bondi Beach. The runners are usually received a please welcome and support by the Sydney citizens, who offer cookies, beer and water to the runners. During the race, the streets of Sydney look very festive with confetti and balloons flying around, musical bands playing in street corners and people cheering. For a tourist, this is a splendid time to get to know the Sydney citizens and their relaxed life style.
If you wish to join the race, there are several categories, depending on your physical fitness and preference. The cost of registering for the race is around AUD 75 - AUD 90 for adults and AUD 50 for children. Yes, children can join the race too. Even if you are on wheelchair or a mom carrying a toddler, you can still join the race, because in City2Surf, you don't really have to run, you can walk the entire 14km while enjoying the enchanting surrounding of Sydney. A lot of participants do that.
Macleay Hotel in Sydney is the best place for accommodation if you are coming to participate in City2Surf. The CBD is a short distance away from the hotel, and our staff will make the necessary arrangements for you to join the race.
On your return from Bondi Beach, free buses run to Bondi Junction train station and from there only 2 stops to Kings Cross station less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

CDC: 'Bad flu season' AheadEarly onset of virus hits USC, state hard
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) -- It's shaping up to be a 'bad flu season,' according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as the Influenza virus makes its mark on the campus of USC and in the state earlier than anticipated.
The doors at the Thompson Student Health Center on the campus of the University of South Carolina are revolving. "Last year in October, November and December, there were no flu cases," USC Student Health Services spokesperson Nicole Carrico. "In the beginning of December, we've already seen 25 cases positive for flu in our health center." Early onset of Type A Influenza has hit the school hard. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), what's happening on campus is happening nationwide. Flu activity is up significantly across the south and southeast. One person in the state has already died due to the virus. "Flu virus can live for two days outside the body, and if you think of all the surfaces we're touching, that's a lot of germs," said Carrico. The number one thing to do is get vaccinated with a flu shot, say health officials. After an immunization, your second best line of defense is to prevent the spread of germs. Using hand sanitizer is a good idea, but health officials say nothing replaces good old fashioned soap and water. "When you get under your nails and fingers, it does a better job," said Mary Anne Young, RN. Use antimicrobial soap with that, and then rinse all that down the sink; it's a much better procedure to go through." Widespread cases of the virus have been reported across South Carolina, with the peak of flu season still three months away. Health officials say there is still time to get a flu shot, but people should hurry because it takes two weeks for the body to build to full immunity. |

Lithium is a light metal element usually classified as an alkali metal, in the same family with sodium and potassium. Like the other alkali metals, lithium metal does not occur in nature. It reacts vigorously with water, often explosively, producing hydrogen, and the strong alkali, lithium hydroxide.
Properties & Uses
A fundamental law of chemistry is that materials react at fixed ratios by weight. Lithium is the lightest metal, atomic number 3, after hydrogen and helium, two gaseous elements usually used in balloons.
The very low atomic weight gives lithium the highest reactivity by weight. Hence, it is preferred in energy storage applications like batteries. Indeed, lithium batteries especially for electric vehicles is the applicaton most often cited as interesting to investors.
Lithium has been known for a long time. It is often used in the manufacture pharmaceuticals. Derivatives like butyl lithium are strong bases used in alkylation--to build carbon chains. Lithium aluminum hydride is a strong reducing agent. Lithium carbonate is an orphan drug used to treat bi-polar disorder. Lithium aluminum hydride has also been suggested as an agent to store hydrogen in a reactive form.
Lithium metal dissolving in liquid ammonia is a reducing agent known as Birch Reduction. It is used to convert cold pills (pseudoephedrine) to methamphetamine. "Meth cookers" are said to use lithium batteries as a source of lithium and stolen, fertilizer grade, anhydrous ammonia.[[1]]
Lithium is not a rare earth element.
Three companies, SQM, Rockwood's Chemetall and FMC, produce 60 percent of world's lithium carbonate. The only pure-play is Australia's Talison Lithium (24% share). Numerous penny stocks also claim to produce lithium. On Yahoo Finance the word "lithium" in the ticker look-up box turned up 72 listings.
In May, 2011, Albemarle announced plans to recover lithium from the brines they process for bromine in Arkansas. An article in C&EN indicated that Chemetall, FMC, and SQM already recover lithium from brines, but the lithium concentration found in South American brines (Chile, Argentina) is higher than those in Arkansas (1400-1500 ppm vs 100-300 ppm). Albemarle is believed to be developing a resin based concentration system which they have pilot planted. In 2014, Albemarle announced plans to acquire Rockwood.
There is at least one lithium ETF: Global X Lithium etf (ticker: LIT). The fund tracks the Solactive Global Lithium Index. Major holdings include Chilean miner Sociedad Quimica y Minera (SQM)(20.16 percent), "FMC Corp (FMC) (16.67 percent), an agricultural and industrial chemical company; and Rockwood Holdings (ROC) (7.93 percent), a producer of lithium compounds." Battery producers like A123 are minor components.
Lithium Batteries
As noted above lithium batteries are of interest due to their high energy per unit weight potential. They are well known in rechargeable power tools, etc., and increasingly in laptop computers, but battery fires have been a concern. Electric automobiles are a major growth segment. Safety issues with batteries for the Chevrolet Volt have been in the news.
Like lead, when used in batteries, lithium is not consumed. Once markets mature, most lithium will be recycled. Continuing demand will replace only lithium unrecoverable or lost in handling. But for electric autos, that day may be far in the future.
An article in the Oct 17, 2012, issue of the Wall Street Journals lists recipients of grants for advanced batteries from the US Department of Energy as follows--
Johnson Controls $299.2MM Plants in Holland, MI and Lebanon, OR
A123 249.1MM Romulus and Brownstown, MI for Fisker Automotive
Dow-Kokam 161 MM Midland, MI
LG Chem 151.4 MM Holland, MI for Chevy Volt
Enerdel 118.5 MM Indianapolis, IN for Volvo
There are known to be lithium battery manufacturers in Asia, but details remain to be learned.
In 2012, A123, a manufacturer of lithium batteries filed for bankruptcy. Their auto parts business was to be sold to Johnson Controls. Wanxiang Group Corp. of China was an investor and potential buyer of A123, but the deal failed possibly due to US DOE requirements. In December, Wanxiang outbid Johnson Controls, NEC, and Siemens (WSJ, Dec 10). A123's "government business" was sold to Navitas Systems of Chicago, a spin-off from Sun Microsystems.
Battery Technology
C&EN issue of July 14, 2014 has an excellent 5-page article on advanced battery development. The basic limitation is energy density in wh/kg. Lead acid is rated at 30-40; nickel metal hydride (NiMH) 45-60; lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) 100-110; lithium cobalt 150-190; Tesla Panasonic lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum 240; sodium ion 140-150; lithium sulfur 200; lithium air (in development).
Batteries used in autos–
Tesla lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum Toyota Prius nickel metal hydride (NiMH) General Motors Volt lithium manganese Nissan Leaf nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)
The battery used in the Tesla Model S has the energy content of 7L (less than 2 gal) of fuel.
Consultants expect a shake out in the battery business. Ultimately they expect five major players and perhaps 50 niche players.
Already LFP developers like A123 have gone bankrupt. Clariant has an LFP plant in Quebec, but is expected to exit due to losses. LFP is used in buses. In 2014, Clariant's LFP business was sold to Johnson Matthey. Matthey also acquired the LFP business of A123. Envia had a contract to supply a lithium rich cathode battery licensed from Argonne National Labs to GM for the Volt, but failed to meet performance milestones. Their research continues.
Evonik is working with Daimler on lithium batteries, but seems to be backing away. They instead will focus on electrode materials, separator membranes and electrolytes.
BASF is a major investor in battery development. BASF plans to invest several hundred million in battery research between 2011 and 2016, and hopes to generate $500MM sales by 2020. Products include electrolytes and metal oxides and phosphates for cathodes. They supply for LFP and NMC and are working on lithium sulfur. In 2014, BASF formed a JV with Toda Kogyo of Japan to make lithium manganese oxide and related materials in Japan. BASF also opened a battery R&D center in Japan.
Sion Power is developing a lithium sulfur battery. BASF has a stake in the company. Lithium sulfur has safety issues yet to be resolved but is thought suited to use in aircraft. Oxis Energy is another lithium sulfur player. Theoretical density is 2735 wh/kg. Oxis is in partnership with Lotus Engineering, Imperial College, and Cranfield University. It is partly owned by Sasol.
Faradon is developing a sodium ion battery that it thinks will be a drop in replacement for lithium ion batteries. Sodium is abundant and less costly than lithium but the atomic wt of 23 vs 7 for lithium suggests abt 1/3 the power potential. They claim an energy density of 140 wh/kg in recent tests. They think 200 wh/kg is possible. Sumitomo is Japan is also working on a sodium ion battery.
IBM is working on an experimental lithium air battery.

West 21st is a 3,070 sq ft singly family home with a detached garage built on a 42 ft wide lot surrounded by traditional craftsman style homes. This addition to the neighborhood features clean, modern lines but has a scale and proportion that fit in with the other homes. The owners have a strong love of nature and views so gardens and patios are incorporated into the home to provide an immediate connection with the outdoors. Natural daylight also plays a strong role and is used to define scale and intimacy within the home.
As this was the first LEED Platinum singly family home in Western Canada, a number of sustainable strategies were included. The roofs are covered in plants to reduce heat reflectance and rainwater runoff, while the landscape design makes use of native, drought tolerant plant species and reclaimed stone. Passive solar design, daylighting, high efficiency windows, a high performance heating / cooling system, including heat recovery, energy efficient appliances and daylighting all work in conjunction to reduce energy use. Additionally a solar hot water heating system on the roof provides virtually free domestic hot water. After the home was completed it was selected as a finalist for the 2010 Georgie Awards.

Cardinal Girls Basketball: St. Mary brings strong defense to table
With the December start to the girls basketball season fast approaching, new St. Mary Cardinal coach Josh LeBrun is preparing his team for Class B competition.In his first year as the girls basketball coach there, LeBrun said he's excited for what the upcoming season has in store."The players are getting accustomed to their new coaches in these early practices," said LeBrun, who will have assistant coach Julie Price also on the sidelines. "Each of the girls have shown positive attitudes and have been putting a lot of effort into learning their new offensive and defensive plays."And with four seniors providing leadership for the team, as well as other older players returning from last year's varsity lineup, the St. Mary coach thinks the Cardinals have a shot at winning some games."Our tough defense could cause problems for teams that do not take good care of the basketball," he said. "We are an athletic team that can run the floor well. All of the girls are hard-working individuals that are going to do well this year."Last year's team produced a handful of wins, but the new coach noted that they can within 10 points of a win on eight others. He thinks capitalizing on these close games will be key for the 2012-13 season."The Lady Cardinals have a talented group of players returning this year who saw quality varsity action last year and other that have played a vital role on the B team."GAME SCHEDULEDec. 4: Garretson, AwayDec. 6: De Smet, HomeDec. 11: Centerville, AwayDec. 13: Deubrook Area, HomeDec. 15: Entringer Classic, FlandreauDec. 18: Lake Preston, Away

This was our first Thanksgiving back in the US after over a decade in the UK. I wasn't up for cooking the whole big meal as I'm nearly 7 months pregnant, and our kitchen is super tiny. And with both our families so far away, it didn't seem worth all the effort. But next year we will have our own house and I am going to cook the crap out of a mighty big turkey with ALL the trimmings. :)
Thanks for sharing your lovely traditions.

Sorry I'm getting so slack with comments on your blog, I still read your posts but for some reason I comment more on IG. I've been loving your posts recently, maybe I recognise some of your Mama to be emotions and thoughts in myself, but oh so eloquently penned by you. Your blog here holds such a valuable vault of memories, seeing your family grow and change makes me want to ensure I record the little things too. The pics of your girls in front of the fire, made my heart melt and I'm not sure how you didn't shed a happy tear!

A term used to describe having sex with someone who is large or has less than desirable physical qualities. It was coined one night when a invitation was sent out to join a party with a "extra large" sorority. When considering to accept said invitation, a man we will simply call JJ calmly said "lets do it, lets tank the whale".
So i went to that girls house the other night and we started to get it on until her room mate walked in and totally saw me tanking the whale.

"A Nicht Wi' Burns"
7.30pm - 10.30pm
REVIEW: The Bard's star still burns brightly
IT MAY be 250 years since Robert Burns was born, yet the magic of his poetry and songs lives on as fresh today as it must have been when he put quill to paper.
A fact borne out by the splendid staging of A Nicht Wi' Burns on a chilly autumn evening at Bathgate's Regal Community Theatre when a packed theatre cheered, applauded and even joined in singing the weel kent Scots Wha' Hae played and sung by White Satin (Messrs Fisher and Mitchel).
Keyboard Virtuoso Paul Mitchel managed to accompany each of the polished performers superbly and in keeping with the character of the songs.
So, we heard the sound of a clarsach, an accordian band, a piano and an orchestra all from this one musician and some rousing ceilidh guitar sounds and songs from Mr Fisher.
If Burns could have auditioned a suitable raconteur to narrate the story of his early life and effortlessly introduce the creme de la creme of Burnsian aficionados, he would most certainly have employed Jim Bowes, who took charge of the proceedings.
A backdrop depicting the Bard himself and scenes of his childhood added atmosphere, and never more so when the undoubted star of the entire evening, Willie Kirk, gave the finest rendition of Tam o' Shanter I've ever heard.
It would be ungallant to mention this gentleman's age, suffice to say we were told he has been a Burns poetry exponent for over 60 years.
At the other end of the spectrum we had the pure, crystal clear voice of young Fionne McQue, surely a rising star ready to be discovered and, of course, we had the Star O' Rabbie Burns and a hilarious rendering of the Twa Dogs by Andy Welsh and John Ramsay.
The Equally amusing Willie Wastle with Tom Jenkins invited us to join in the "Ah wudnae gie a button for her" chorus as he interpreted the Bard's description of an ugly wife to perfection, and To a Louse.
Mind you, when you have professional tenors like Alex Campbell, John Close, Alan Baff and Sam Mackay, it brings a lump to the throat, though.
No prizes for guessing this highly entertaining evening ended with Fionne McQue leading us all in a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne.
Man, it fair made ye feel proud to be Scottish, a racist remark perhaps in this day of political correctness, but totally in keeping with A Nicht Wi' Burns, which the Bard himself might well have waxed lyrical about.

Another chance for showers will arrive on Saturday into Monday. A storm system will approach from the west bringing at least a few showers and thunderstorms.
The best chance of showers and thunderstorms will probably be Saturday afternoon and night. Then another shot with the frontal passage on Monday.
Severe weather is not anticipated - that is the good news. We are doing well so far in March at avoiding severe thunderstorms. I have a feeling that will be changing over the coming weeks. Make sure you have a NOAA Weather Radio and an app on your cell phone (for warning notifications).
A bigger weather system may enter the picture towards the middle/end of next week.
If you have a chance (and hoping clouds stay away) you might be able to see the comet tonight at sunset. Look towards the area of where the sun goes down. PANNSTARRS - that is the comets name.

"The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris." – Larry Wall
Laziness: I'm too lazy to do the same task repeatedly so write scripts to do that task for me. This makes people think I am intelligent.
Impatience: I'm too impatient to wait for my code to run so rewrite the code to improve performance. This makes people think I am a good programmer.
Hubris: When someone asks if I can do something I just say Yes, then go find out how to do it (Google!). This makes people think I can do anything.

A letter that would alert Mammoth Mountain Ski Area that it is "out of compliance" with its federal permit to run June Mountain as a ski area is still winding its way through local, regional and Washington D.C. U. S. Forest Service offices and has not been delivered to MMSA, according to forest officials.
"We are still getting review and counsel," said Jon Regelbrugge, district ranger for the Mammoth area. Progress on the letter, (Mammoth Mountain officials said last month they did not agree "non-compliance" was an accurate description of their permit's status,) has been slowed by the fact that both he and Inyo National Forest Supervisor Ed Armenta have been gone for the past several weeks, helping other forest's fight massive wildfires, he said.
Armenta is considered the final decision maker regarding how MMSA officials effect the impending closure of June Mountain Ski Area this winter, and June Mountain is within Regelbrugge's district.
Several months ago, when MMSA CEO Rusty Gregory announced abruptly that he would not operate June Mountain this winter, the June Lake community put pressure on the forest to push MMSA toward operation.
But MMSA's argument that operating the ski area was financially impossible until a massive reorganization was implemented held the day and the June Lake community changed its focus to surviving the winter.
Intent on revitalizing the June Lake winter economy by offering alternative outdoor recreation opportunities—as opposed to skiing and snowboarding—the community members behind June's revitalization effort are beginning to pepper the Inyo with requests for such things as snowplay areas, ice skating options, cross country skiing trails, and dog sled trails.
Typically, such requests take the forest service many months—even years, in some cases—to approve, but Regelbrugge said that given the situation, and given the forest service's mission to provide recreational options on federal lands, the forest will work hard with community members to find legal—and fast—solutions.
"Depending on exactly what they want to do and where, it's possible that we can approve some activities quickly," he said.
The most likely route is through something called a "categorical exclusion" in forest service jargon. Certain activities such as a cross country groomed trail on top of a road covered in snow as opposed to a groomed trail over virgin ground might qualify as a categorical exclusion, allowing the forest to bypass months of environmental reviews.
But "might" is still the critical word, Regelbrugge said.
"For example," he said, "we have to find the requested activity already listed as a possible categorical exclusion. We have to find it will have little to no environmental impact, and more."
Another option is to issue a temporary permit for an activity, he said.
He said he and/or other forest service officials will be sitting down with June Lake community members for the next several weeks to hammer out what kinds of activities can be implemented quickly.
"We recognize that tourism is a major part of the local economy and we recognize that the community is in a tough spot," he said.

Internet Package Design
When users shop online, they use their basic store shopping experience as a frame of reference. They expect an easy and enjoyable process comparable to their in-store shopping experience. But instead, store shelves become visual grids of rows and columns; a hand touch is replaced by a mouse click, and three-dimensional packages display as two-dimensional thumbnail images.
Many websites today try to mimic the in-store shopping experience as best as possible, but lack an important fundamental practice: package presentation. If handled correctly, package presentation can enhance the shopping experience a great deal, giving the company a competitive edge as well as bring in additional revenue.
Package designers face a new challenge in their field: their packages now have to fit in a grid system on the Web. Packages of any shape, size, and color have to attract attention in the context of a constantly changing medium. Since a package now has to be displayed in a small area on a screen rather than a shelf, a package designer is faced with new decisions that have to be made early in the design process. Online brand competition is fierce, so the opportunity to differentiate by designing a package for online display should not be overlooked. Think of shampoo bottles, for example: small bottles are sold as travel kits, medium size bottles are sold at drug stores, and extra large bottles are sold in stores like Costco or BJ's. Extending this approach, one would expect a fourth option: a package to be designed for online purchases.
Package Design Considerations
The key elements that make a package successful are its shape, color, label, and texture. Understanding the major differences between shelf and online presentation and following best practices for Internet package design helps ensure a successful user experience, and sales.
Shape and size
It is clear that packages will not display equally in all mediums. A tall skinny bottle will stand out on a cluttered store shelf for its elegance and height, but will nearly disappear and lose its essence when reduced to a webpage thumbnail image. In most cases, package designers have no control over how and where a package will display online. Resizing package images to fit into a website grid often causes the size, scale, and volume of packages to be misrepresented, creating false expectations for online shoppers. The inability to see, feel, and lift the package for a full sensory observation makes for a weaker experience and could potentially send users back to the stores.
A survey of some of the largest e-commerce websites revealed that three out of four sites display square (1:1 aspect ratio) thumbnail images of products, so a recommended best practice is to design packages for that ratio for optimal display. A square image doesn't necessarily mean a square package, though; note that package A below isn't square but it photographs well for a square presentation.
Different shape packages A, B and C resized to fit a 1:1 ratio. Note the misrepresentation of sizes in a website grid.
Screen shot from Sephora.com, Body Treatments page. Packages are resized to fit a 1:1 ratio. (Note the left package is sold online only!)
Furthermore, uniquely shaped packages, which require a three-dimensional view for full appreciation, will lose their edge when photographed and displayed as flat images. Besides not giving them the full effect of the package, this may present difficulties for users in identifying storage issues. Take, for example, a bubble bath bottle that needs to fit inside a shallow medicine cabinet. Without seeing the full view of the package, one cannot determine its dimensions and practicality. A recommended best practice is to include a multiple view image that shows the package from all sides. Package designers should include a package identity and guidelines document, which will describe how a package should be photographed and presented.

Color is a powerful communication tool used by designers to convey messages, elicit feelings, and stimulate an action (a purchase). Color is often "read" faster then words, creating brand recognition and providing cues on package contents. A package designer who designs for busy store shelves takes into account the multiples effect: myriad packages displayed next to one another creating a colorful and powerful display. Online, the attractive and eye-catching color display is reduced to one standalone package, presented at thumbnail size. Further, its impossible to know which other products will neighboring it due to dynamic web searches, which makes it very difficult to plan ahead and gain competitive edge.
In addition, package designers need to be aware that white or any light-colored packages will have poor visual contrast when displayed on a white background. This gives them a disadvantage relative to colorful packages presented on the same page.
A recommended best practice to resolve color issues is to select a color that will stand out on the Web. A striking package color will jump to the foreground and will push the image into the user's visual path. If white or any light-colored packaging is a must, photograph the package on a color background to achieve the same results and ensure the package is easily recognized. Further, delicate color changes, gradients, and patterns often don't display well when presented on the Web. If patterns and color differences are essential to a brand's presentation, package designers should consider using high contrast or bolder colors to enhance the online user experience.

Package labels are communication tools that sell the contents of the package. More often than not, a label is a key factor in a package's success and revenue generation. A label that is not seen will not sell. Taking store shelf packages and simply resizing for Web presentation doesn't make for a good user experience; labels become small and unreadable, and they lose the essence of what a label is meant for: an informative selling tool. Web users cannot simply pick up a package and bring it closer to eye level or turn it around for more information. It is therefore essential to remove unreadable clutter from the label when presenting packages online. Designers should prioritize and present key selling points to help users make wise and quick decisions, keeping copy easy to scan by forcing horizontal orientation, and using high color contrast and larger font sizes.

Like color, texture is a communication tool for designers. It can communicate a sense of quality and elicit certain emotions that will result in a purchase. Texture can also be a practical necessity; some textures are easier to grip while others feel nicer against your skin. If texture is what's going to make a package stand out, it should be professionally photographed using angles and lighting that allow the texture to display well even in a small thumbnail images.
Estee Lauder products presented on Bloomingdales.com. Good usage of light in photography gives users a great impression of package materials and textures.
Final Notes
Following best practices for online package design and presentation will enhance the buying experience. To ensure their products stand out online, package designers need to create package identity and guidelines documents, similar to a company's brand guidelines. These guidelines should identify how the package should and should not be displayed in any given situation. This allows package designers to have two levels of control over how their products look online: one is in the original package design, and the other is in its presentation.
Brand competition is fierce. It's a challenge to present a unique brand to consumers and hope to be heard. Companies use their colors, logos, and short tag lines to communicate their nature of service, convey reputation, and "voice out" their commitment to the consumer. The image a company builds around its unique differences and its brand is a source of competitive advantage. That image needs to be clearly communicated on all products, regardless of the environments and mediums being used to make the final sale.

These are very usefull tips, but I think there is a little misunderstood. It's the webshop's role to present the products on the web as good as they can. I know that most of the merchants just use the first image of the product they find with Google. But it's not the best practice. Every merchant should do the homework and edit the thumbnails and other images to help the costumers find the products.
Answering to the post, I collected what a merchant can do: http://pasztordavid.hu/2011/02/21/internet-package-design/
yet, how many small purchases like perfume, lotions, creams, cosmetics are purchased based on a first-use from an in-store purchase? so, all they want to do is locate the SKU or item, find the lowest price, and purchase.
i think the dimensional 1:1 thing is interesting. scale does seem to be lost in comparisons.
we started a visual dimensions image versus the standard words of width, depth, height. some customers are just lost when it comes to trying to decipher dimensions. it takes us a little more time than usual, but the image is fairly represented.
Don't photoshop your packaging to make it look different online. You should make physical packing that looks better online. Selling something that doesn't look like the picture, even if you only changed the text can be a bad thing if your customer thinks they got something different than they ordered.
I like the rest about proportions and angles and so on. Thanks.
Nice article - thanks - basically designers should be able to get the essential form factor of the product nailed down by following your very well explained points.
Thanks for a great article!
I haven't actually really thought about this so much before. I think many, many people easily forget this part. But this part I think can really make a difference and be one factor to why a product succed on the internet market. Many companies have to take this in consideration because it's so important and it will probably be for a long time.

Tiny snake on a plane grounds flight
8-inch snake was as slender as a pen; found near Qantas airliner's doorway
Samuel L. Jackson would have laughed.
An 8-inch snake as slender as a pen grounded a Qantas flight from Australia to Japan overnight, stranding hundreds of passengers, AFP reported.
The tiny, non-venomous reptile was found near the doorway of the Boeing 747 bound for Tokyo.
The plane had been on the tarmac most of the day Sunday after completing a flight from Singapore, although officials aren't sure if that's where the snake came from, AFP reported.
All 370 passengers were booked into hotels and placed on another flight Monday morning.
Earlier this year, a 9-foot-long python was discovered on a Qantas flight from the tropical Australian city of Cairns to Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby.

Facts and Figures
Personnel Starting June 2014, we are increasing our complement to eight categorical Internal Medicine Residents for each of the R1, R2, and R3 years; there is no pyramid nor is there competition for future positions among the residents. In addition, there are five preliminary-year residents who are treated equally with the categorical R1s. There are no fellows in Internal Medicine subspecialties.
Each ward team manages both private and non-private patients. About 5%-10% of the inpatients are private; their care is supervised by the private attending. The remainder of the service consists of County patients, whose care is supervised by Drs. Bookspan, Hosea and Bordofsky. Critically ill patients are manage by a separate, multidisciplinary ICU team under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Fried.
Night Call
First-year residents have approximately five of 13 rotations without on-call duties during the year. While on the wards, in-hospital call is every sixth night, with arrangements made for late arrival on call days and early departure the next day.
R2s and R3s
We have a very efficient and effective night float schedule for R2's and R3's. The residents on the wards have no overnight call during those ward rotations. Other senior residents cover from 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. for one-week blocks, with no daytime responsibilities. Each R2 and R3 has approximately 3.5 blocks of night float per year.
The Internal Medicine Residency Program is affiliated with the Department of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine. Although medical residents do not rotate between hospitals, 3rd and 4th year students from USC undertake rotations at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
Ancillary Services
The hospital has comprehensive 24-hour support services; the residents unequivocally do not perform 'scut' work.

How Can Botulism Be Treated?
The respiratory failure and paralysis that occur with severe botulism may require a patient to be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for weeks or months, plus intensive medical and nursing care. The paralysis slowly improves. Botulism can be treated with an antitoxin which blocks the action of toxin circulating in the blood. Antitoxin for infants is available from the California Department of Public Health, and antitoxin for older children and adults is available through CDC. If given before paralysis is complete, antitoxin can prevent worsening and shorten recovery time. Physicians may try to remove contaminated food still in the gut by inducing vomiting or by using enemas. Wounds should be treated, usually surgically, to remove the source of the toxin-producing bacteria followed by administration of appropriate antibiotics. Good supportive care in a hospital is the mainstay of therapy for all forms of botulism.
