Facebook, MySpace and the other behemoth social networks are great scalable technology platforms that enable people to communicate in a completely networked way that was not possible on preceding platforms such as Web-based freemail, email, telephone, telegraph or the pony express. These are great platforms with evolving feature sets to be sure, but they are not human communities—they are technologies utilized by them. To Charlene Li's point, these technologies are broad but impersonal- how can they enable marketers to connect with consumers in a credible, authentic way? Even antiquated media channels (magazine publishers, TV, radio) have a better chance at establishing these connections."Future social networks, writes Ms. Li, "will be like air..." JamBase.com, the live music focused community I run, has taken this approach to social networking. The heart and soul of our business is a community of people who love to see live music (an inherently social activity). We have employed social networking tools to better serve the needs of this highly social audience- so that fans can more easily share recommendations on shows they are going to, make summer festival plans with their friends and generally be in the know regarding their favorite artists. But social networking is not an end in and of itself.The close, human relationship with legions of concert goers has made JamBase.com a highly effective channel for the right kinds of marketers. We may not have the scale of FaceSpace, but our ad-supported business was profitable for its first nine years (recently committed to expanding the business through investment and continued growth), with CPMs ranging from $5 to $100 for our Web and direct email campaigns, far in excess of the $0.13 CPMs that large social networks report. Profitable business opportunities do exist within the social context, however it's important to remember that as relationships are developed in community, expectations from members of that community with regards to what is communicated should be a priority in driving advertising decisions.
The combination and integration of print, TV, online and mobile is what creates an ecosystem of networks available to us all everywhere through every medium all the time. Some paid, some free.This is the direction the world is headed and everywhere and nowhere is a good premise.http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/EcosystemOfNetworksNow 9 years old this piece still hasn't been improved:http://www.reed.com/gfn/docs/reedslaw.htmlHumans want to interact with media, all media, in time they will.
I have created and run the social network skyrock.com. Skyrock.com ranks 17th in the world in terms of page views (Comscore February 2008). We are profitable and expanding. Our way to monetize our audience is through "haute-couture" advertising. That means working with advertisers to create unique conversational marketing operations on our social network. It works for Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Nike, Puma, Adidas, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Nokia, etc ... We are profitable because we believe in listening to our advertisers and building with them operations that enhance user experience. The integrated social webagency is the solution.
Let me suggest that the part of the paradox in understanding social networking and its "business potential" is that there is a tendency to see it as a single bucket when reality is that I can think of at least four discrete types of social networks:1. Horizontal social nets that try to be all things to all people (e.g., Facebook, MySpace): these sites are like nightclubs, and history suggests that nightclubs that are hot one season are irrelevant the next. Hence, monetize-ability has a limited lifespan. 2. Vertical social nets (e.g., Linked In): these tend to be focused on a specific jobs, or outcomes, such as professional networking, and as such target a well-defined audience type. Conversations and contexts are monetize-able and people like recruiters (in case of Linked In) that want to reach this audience will pay big dollars for visibility and access. These are great businesses so long as they stay focused.3. Social net extensions to real businesses (check out MyRagan.com): these are real businesses that use social networking as a platform to engage and empower their target market. This also extends the company's reach so the goodness of this model is lead generation, customer retention and brand enrichment.4. Social nets as conversational marketing engines (check out Real Wedding Awards -- http://realweddingawards.theknot.com/): these use social networking in the context of creating events that solicit user participation as a way of building awareness around a specific product or service. These are TREMENDOUS lead generators, can generally secure high profile sponsorship and are good PR, buzz makers.If interested in burrowing deeper into this topic, check out my post on Online Community Building strategies (http://thenetworkgarden.com/weblog/2008/03/online-communit.html)Cheers,Mark
Social networks do not work without a clear meaning and mantra to unite the customers and the employees of a business. The degrees of separation between customers and processes, data, locations and schedules must also be eliminated. I don't want to participate in any social-networking site that only takes my personal information without providing me with a service I consider useful and ethical.
A fascinating debate - in 2005 I co-wrote a book Communities Dominate Brands http://www.communities-dominate.bogs.com where we investigated the whole-scale change occurring concurrently within media, culture and society.Our industrial mass media world is linear, straight, fixed with its own rules, logic, philosophy and business models.We are rapidly moving to a world where everyone can be connected and by 2015 five billion people will be connected via mobile device - that is a 100 fold increase in networked traffic. Networks Economic, Cultural and Media are becoming the nervous system of society.This suggests that our: society, media and communications is evolving from the straight road of an industrial era to the more complex and networked world that mimics nature. Our new media world isn't about content and distribution. It is about people, connections and social networks.If we accept that as a truth then that truth changes what we make, how we make it and how in fact we market and communicate with our customers. 1). The change is structural 2). It requires a new logicWe therefore have to work out how business models work in this new ecology. Price Waterhouse Coopers stated in a recent report that networked consumer conversations will transform business and Gartner in another report say that banking will look nothing like it is today in 10 years time.Facebook/myspace etc., are romancing the networked world - they are not "the" networked world
It's probably fair to suggest that monetization of social networks has not so far been as successful as the companies may have liked. It is not true however that there are not fantastic opportunities to sell products within social networks.
Niche marketing of products does not have to involve breaches of privacy like the Facebook�€™s Beacon by displaying products a user buys. The niche markets already exist within these social networks. Already individuals are creating their own groups and fan clubs within social networks promoting products that they have some personal attachment to.
For example the Product �€œMarmite�€� has over 500 related user created groups within Facebook.
This is costing the Brand nothing but providing immense value to them. Other users are simply being exposed to brand promotion by their peers.
Surely the correct path (and one that seems to be being actively pursued) is to work on identifying these instances and selling products alongside user generated content that promotes them.
The biggest problem with social networks is they tend to turn into cesspools over time. MySpace started out great and now is one big dating site. Facebook is struggling to stay relevant.Wide-open social networking sites make poor business platforms because marketers know perfectly well that these networks are awful as far as audience attention. You can't directly sell anything there. The best way to sell is to NOT sell, instead participating in the typical conversations that occur. That doesn't earn anyone any money.The only ones that seem to work for the long term are either:- Closed networks like Linkedin, which I use a lot, and which has minimal spam because there's no benefit (plus it costs hard dollars to notify lots of Linkedin users at once); or- Networks that work in some form of voting, like Yahoo! Answers, and/or control user behavior through reputation management, like Digg.The other problem is less of a business one and more semantic: The internet is a 'social network'. These sites are just little cafes along the way. E-mail was the first social networking tool, and it remains the best and most intuitive. Until someone beats it, I doubt anything else will really compete.
Anyone ever consider social networks integrating with products or old-media like radio or TV?Seems to me like some people are getting it:- Starbucks is working on it's own social network- Word is someone like Barcardi is working with Playboy on a social network- Countless othersThe answer is not creating a new business model, like many of these social networks are thinking they have to do. The answer is merging with existing business models centered around something tangible.One last example: Facebook has a "virtual gift of the day" for $1. (sarcasm) How exciting, you buy a 50px picture of a dog for a friend!Now what if Starbucks and Facebook merged, and for a week long, you could buy a free coffee for someone for only $2? They get a coupon in their e-mail to print out. Just one of thousands of examples of how integration is the key, not new methods.

"2501, can you kindly in addition, tell us how much profit your site makes?
"I would guess, from your silence on this point and your emphasis instead on page views, that the answer is, none"
My silence is due to the fact that I have a life. I do not sit at my PC hitting F5 over and over again. As a consequence, I only saw this today.
In answer to the query, the site made £40 million (no, I didn't get a % of it...) profit last year from display advertising. I do not have the figure for sales through partner sites or any other partnerships which I am not aware of.
My point was not around the monetization of traffic but rather that the Page View, while nearing the end of its life, still has its use as a metric as it serves as a crude measure of activity on the site. A change over time in the number of Page Views tells you something about the evolution of your site.
The metric itself was never meant to serve as the absolute yardstick of financial success. Indeed, I suggest that if you are only using a Web Analytics package to measure profit, then you ought to stop and think very hard about what you are doing.
I don't think you can compare webmail with social networks. Social networks are virtual world unlike webmail which was just an feature of the virtual world. More people watch videos on facebook than on any other video site, if that is true, all facebook needs to do is embed advertising or provide pay for content channels, and it will make money.There is tons of places where facebook can make money of the content, or relations. Facebook CTR for ads is low because facebook does not have its own full blown advertising framework, it relies on crappy ad providers who do not how to optimize for social networks. Behavioral targeting and commerce driven of that is future, and social network are definitely going to be huge beneficiary of that growth.
After hearing the news that Facebook's founder is worth as much as he is, I immediate did not want to support such nonsense. I have decided not to use Facebook anymore, I have decided to boycott them.
Sir,I note that readers can use the economist website to post articles on social sites such as facebook! Maybe this is another good example of the great utility of such sights but is still unclear how money can be made. Television, radio and print advertising works, not for much longer in the first case, because you can't help noticing it. It is very easy to switch tabs or windows online. Internet advertising will never make up for the fact that almost all social websites are free to use. I could not understand why Microsoft paid so much for a slice of Facebook and I fear that we have another dot com boom in the making. The reason? The Internet is democratic accessible to everyone who knows how to design a site. As soon as a big player tries to turn customers into revenue streams, through intrusive advertising or usage charges, a cheaper, smaller rival will come along. Maybe we should be looking to earn the web buck elsewhere.Thomas, Edinburgh
in reality there is barely a difference between social networking sites and online forums. forums and bulletin boards grew out of old usenet and newslist groups and developed for people interested in a particular topic. these forums are still vital for business and tech people who are looking to exchange and share information.social networking is basically, 'all about me.' it is the extension of the personalization of one's high school locker. it is a throwback to the partylines (essentially, open phone lines) of the 1970s and 1980s. ultimately quality networking is about phone time or face time. for business people, i believe that IM and tools like Skype are more important. and i believe the mighty eBay has been having a difficult time recouping its investment in Skype.
Business or not, but social-networking will surely become another cause of online identity theft, phishing, and a major concern for Internet family safety. People need to learn carefully select trusted social websites and teach the same to their children. Some sort of good feature like http://www.parentapproval.com will require in all internet browsers, and maybe in all operating systems.
Plus8star, you say that QQ makes 80% of its revenues from selling digital goods. That exactly proves my point. My exact words were:
"...they will never make money, without an ancilliary product people will pay for. "
In the case of QQ, that ancillary product is the digital goods you cite. In fact, you could argue that QQ isn't making money from social networking; it is making money from selling digital goods.
It's interesting to note that MySpace, having finally discovered that registered users, pageviews, hits and all that nonsense do not equal profits, is now setting up to also sell downloadable music.
LinkedIn and Facebook are yet to see a red cent in profit, and will not do so until they realise they need to actually sell something (product or service) people will pay for. In a world where regular users are ironically more likely to tune out ads, and with click-through rates far less than 1%, the idea of sustaining a business on advertising is laughable.
The more users you have, the greater your server and hosting costs. The advert trickle will never cover operating expenses. Welcome back to the Old Economy where paying customers, not free riding users, are the key to profits.
BTW, I hope The Economist has a good model for monetising this website, because the more I use the online edition, the less attractive the dead tree edition with its one week-old news seems to me.
I think it is still too early to tell the real economic value hidden in social networking sites. Only time will tell. Neither should a failed Facebook project nor Aol overpaying for Bebo its traffic/page views be taken as indicators of how flawed is the entire concept of social networking. I think a lot of mistakes will be committed but many will learn from them how to prop up a successful business model based on social networks.
Derived from New Agency to Information Agency, now is the time to induce to Intelligence Agency.
If we could believe CNN is one distinguished New Agency, Google is one distinguished Information Agency online. Both have healthy business model and keep themselves in good shape.
The problem to online social networks has already been indicated by the topic title given in The Economist online debate as Information Overload. Now is the time to develop Intelligence Agencies that shall be appropriate to certain feasible economic activities, in terms of efficiency enhancement.
The activity of chat, IM or even information-exchange has no added value to themselves. The Web of network services has to add certain values into the service as well as to manage the information and present the information in the form of intelligence to subscribers to further save their time and efforts, and economic activities as well.
As for whether the variant in the website�€™s revenue mathematics has to base on the scale of Ad sales or subscription fee, or the else, that is not a determined point to the security of income stream as long as the service indeed add the value on.
Let�€™s see how smart the websites can manage the information for us.
You might be interested to know that several social networks are already very profitable, and more than Facebook.The best in class is QQ in China: 300 million active accounts, 523 million USD revenues, 224 million USD operating profit.More, advertising represents less than 20% of revenues, most of the rest is digital goods for Internet or mobile.How is it possible to claim this is not a business?We gave a presentation at a conference recently comparing Facebook and QQ. See www.plus8star.com for more info.
I agree that social networking in its current structured form is in danger. FriendFeed, Twitter, etc. are already shaping social communications into an even more ubiquitous service. I disagree, however, that monetary potential does not exist.
The idea about niche network sictes being able to pull off less obtrusive advertising and having more value than general social networks is not new. It has merit. However, what's to say that niches cannot be formed within general interest sites and networks? Beacon was a poor attempt to monetize networks, but the idea about making advertising more personal could still prove itself out in another model.
Additionally, these sites and networks might evolve and not remain destination sites in their current forms, but based on user loyalty, it seems Facebook and MySpace are here to stay. Personally, I think they will continue to have a stronghold as destinations because with the ever increasing loads of information, social network sites provide a filter serivce, potentially even better than email does. General social network sites also have the luxury of aggregating IM, SMS, widgets, games, etc. into one place. After checking email and news/blogs, social networks are the next place I go to get information/content. It is still unclear who will win or lose out among those destination sites. The winner could still find future profits.

Seema wins silver in shoot-out with Ria; Shagun fails to make it to final
Shreyasi Singh rode on a big lead to bag the women's trap gold with a seven-point margin in the Sahara 56th National shooting championship at the Dr. Karni Singh Range, Tughlakabad, on Friday.
On a day when Asian silver medallist Shagun Chowdhary failed to make the final, Ria Rajeshwari Kumari performed superbly in the final and eventually missed the silver in a shoot-off against the seasoned Seema Tomar.
Going into the final with a seven-point margin, Shreyasi struggled, both at the start and end of the single-shot final, in which she managed only 14 points.
"I am very happy to win this gold as I had worked a lot, but I know that I have to improve in finals. I am working with two coaches and I am confident of getting better," said Shreyasi, who pursues a Masters course at the Hans Raj College in the capital.
Seema Tomar, winner of a silver medal in the World Cup in Dorset (England) in 2010, was woefully off-colour in the final, but took the second spot beating Ria, the daughter of IOC member Randhir Singh, 1-0 in the shoot-out after being tied at 72.
Best performer
The 21-year-old Ria was the best performer in the final, shooting 18 birds, but missed three of the last five to lose her way. Of course, it was a big jump for Ria who took the junior bronze in the previous edition of the National championship at the same venue earlier this year.
"It was very scary in the shoot-off. This is only my second National championship," said Ria, who had scores of 15, 19 and 20 in qualification.
There was no such redemption for Olympian Shagun, as she missed the final after rounds of 15, 19 and 19 in the qualifying session. In fact, there was a shoot-off for the sixth spot in the final among four, and Shagun lost the second bird like Shikha Bhaduria of the Army.
Defending champion Varsha Tomar pipped the young Delhi girl, Mahima Kumar Mahajan, 4-3 to book a berth in the final. Varsha was the second best in the final with a score of 17 and that helped her clinch the fourth spot ahead of Varsha Varman on a countback, after being tied on 70. The duo finished one point ahead of Malika Wig of Uttar Pradesh.
In men's trap, Asian champion Manavjit Singh Sandhu jumped into the lead along with Zoravar Singh Sandhu with a 95 while overnight leader Mansher Singh and Birendeep Sodhi followed one point behind, after four rounds.
Kynan Chenai and Anirudh Singh were on 93 while NRAI president Raninder Singh was on 90 as he recovered from a third round score of 19 with a 24 in the fourth. The fifth round will be held on Saturday morning and will be followed by the final.
Chain pulls ahead
In men's air rifle, Chain Singh of Army shot a 594 to be three points ahead of World and Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra and former Asian champion P.T. Raghunath. He had a series of 100, 99, 99, 100, 98, 98.
In the 50-metre free pistol event, Samaresh Jung had a below par 534 while Amit Kumar Pilaniya fared a shade better with 545.
The lead stayed with Army's Om Prakash who had a 556. The qualification session will continue on Saturday, followed by the final.
The results:
Men: Sport pistol: Juniors: 1. Shivraj Sase 572; 2. Loktongbam Somendro Singh 566, 3. Ajitesh Kaushal 565.
Women: Trap: 1. Shreyasi Singh 79 (65); 2. Seema Tomar 72 (1) 58; 3. Ria Rajeshwari Kumari 72 (0) 54.
Juniors: 1. Varsha Varman 58; 2. Malika Wig 56; 3. Mahima Kumar Mahajan 53.

I've never been much of an fancy shoes and purses girl, but fancy housewares? Count me in! The collection, which includes glassware, china, flatware and gifts, ranges from light-hearted polka dot designs to more formal platinum-accented pieces. I'm especially fond of the gardening-themed designs with dragonflies, beetles and gently curving greenery.

Wang, M. and McGrath, S. P. and Jones, K. C. (1992) The chlorobenzene content of archived sewage sludges. Science of the Total Environment, 121. pp. 159-175. ISSN 1879-1026
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Chlorobenzenes in 40 anaerobically digested, lagoon dried sewage sludges were analysed by a Soxhlet extraction, Florisil clean-up and capillary gas chromatography method. These sludges had been applied to the plots of a long-term agricultural experiment from 1942 to 1961. Before application, the sewage sludges had been stored in lagoons at a sludge disposal works for about 1–5 years. Although some of the chlorobenzenes may have been lost during this period, substantial fractions remained at the time of field application. The mean concentration of the sum of the chlorobenzenes in the sludges was 43.7 μg/kg, with a range of 7.90–219 μg/kg. The five priority pollutants, i.e. 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, were the most abundant. The concentrations of chlorinated benzenes generally decreased with increased chlorine substitution, although hexachlorobenzene and pentachlorobenzene were present at relatively high concentrations. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene and hexachlorobenzene increased over the period 1942–1961 in the sludges, whilst the other compounds analysed increased only from 1954 onwards. The relationship between organic matter contents and chlorobenzene recoveries from the sewage sludges was tested by experiments and the results are discussed. The results from the archived sewage sludges provide an outline of the chlorobenzene content in the environment of the West London area over a period when no monitoring was undertaken. Levels in the archived sludges are generally much lower, by perhaps an order of magnitude, than for contemporary samples.

There were, of course, stalls for audio book firm Reado (www.reado.com), e-magazine application maker Magzter (www.magzter) and online book stores like Flipkart. But what I saw beyond is an ecosystem to make e-book publishing easier and easier.
Helped by industry standards like ePub and Adobe's Flash and PDF files, IT and e-commerce service firms are moving into make e-publishing easy for both established publishers and self-publishing authors alike. They are obviously aided by the explosion in the sale of tablet devices that are widening the customer base.
Such service providers serve as one-stop shops for publishers and authors to convert their books into various formats that go with a variety of devices such as Amazon's Kindle, Apple's iPads and an array of Android devices.
For example, V-Prompt (www.vprompt.com) helps convert source materials to formats such as the OeB (Open eBook format), besides ePub, Mobi and PoD (print on demand).
Another firm Intec (www.inteconline.com) offers pre-press services in addition to e-book and convent conversion. The Jouve group (www.jouve.com), a France-based firm, is now a multinational in this space and provides publishing solutions to design, enhance and distribute content.
There are Indian companies like Ahmedabad-based Infibeam (www.infibeam), which apart from being an online store, provides publishers facilities to create e-books. Noida-based Magic Software (www.magicsw.com) offers online distribution and other services that help publishers make their content ready for Apple and Google Stores.
Collectively, such companies are setting up a brave new world of reading in the Digital Age.

Asthma is controllable but continues to impose a considerable health burden on the U.S. population, especially on poor and non-white adolescents. While evidence-based clinical care is essential, inadequate patient self-management is a major contributor to excess morbidity.
Responding to this critical need, our research team has developed and piloted an innovative brief behavioral intervention that combines proven behavioral technology with tailored text-messaging to reduce asthma symptoms. Our preliminary data suggests that this In Vivo intervention is promising.
The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the In Vivo intervention in reducing asthma symptoms in adolescents in a randomized control trial comparing the In Vivo intervention to usual care.
The specific aims: Determine the efficacy of the In Vivo intervention on our primary outcome – asthma symptoms – for adolescents with asthma. Determine the efficacy of the In Vivo intervention on our secondary outcomes – asthma symptom days, the Asthma Control Test, exacerbations, utilization, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) – and evaluate the durability of the effect. Determine the mechanism of effect for the In Vivo intervention.
This research will yield the following expected outcomes:
Evidence for the efficacy of such an intervention could have a substantial impact on the health outcomes of at-risk adolescents with asthma throughout the U.S. Moreover, as the intervention is not condition-specific, it could have broad application across populations and diseases.

For Your Pleasure
Saxophonist Walter Beasley's graceful approach to melody, varied lead voices and firmly planted old soul roots distinguish his latest release, For Your Pleasure (Shanachie 504 -44:52) from the pack as an above-average outing in a tired genre. Beasley's soprano voice is reedy and delicate on tunes like the lightly urban "From This Moment On," and a relaxed, shuffling cover of the Tootsie movie ballad "It Might Be You." Sly melody lines on his buoyant alto keep "I Feel You" in a contagious groove, and "Smoke," anchored in vintage sounding keyboard effects and rock guitar accents, a slowburning blues treat. There are occasional slips into more typical synth-heavy territory, but for the most part, Beasley manages to keep things interesting, mixing percussive textures and calling upon rootsy sounds here and there to throw a lively ripple into the smooth jazz pool.

Sting was an Elvish knife made in Gondolin in the First Age. Engraved on the blade and cross-guard are letters in Sindarin that read phonetically, Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im. Translated into English, they read, Maegnas is my name, I am the spider's bane. According to the Appendix of The Silmarillion, the element maeg in Sindarin means 'sharp' or 'piercing'.
Sting was a magical weapon used by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, which he found in a Troll-hoard along with Glamdring and Orcrist. Although it was just a dagger by the standard of Men or Elves, it made an excellent sword for a Hobbit. Bilbo gives Sting to Frodo Baggins, just before the Fellowship of the Ring sets off from Rivendell. After the defeat of Sauron at the end of the Third Age, it passed to Samwise Gamgee.
Its proper name was Maegnas, as fitting in with the heritage of the city of Gondolin where it was forged. It was renamed 'Sting', in the colloquial manner of the hobbits, by Bilbo, and was referred to by that name in The Lord of the Rings.
It has the magic ability to detect any Orc presence near it. When this presence is felt, it glows blue, as it does when the Fellowship encounters Orcs in the mines of Moria.
Gollum, who similarly dislikes anything made by Elves, is afraid of Sting. This fear helped Bilbo when confronting Gollum under the mountain in The Hobbit. It also helps Frodo to tame Gollum (temporarily) in The Lord of the Rings.

Re: Bye Bye Jerome Mathis
The Texans have been at or near the cap every year of their existence as they will be next year after they sign all their FA's and others. By rule, NFL teams were required to spend/cap account at least to 85% of the cap number in 2007. Your 'allowance' and 'spending limit' argument is flawed in many ways with the most obvious example being the incredibly stupid signing bonuses/contracts given to Walker, Wade and Smith a few years ago - something that the Texans are just now crawling out from under. McNair has thrown around plenty of money, abeit in an ill-advised way, under the Casserly/Capers/Ferens regime - and again in the transition year to Kubiak with the Carr extension and the Weaver deal.

Re: Bye Bye Jerome Mathis
McNair has no problem spending the money he's having to spend and with the cap, there's no real Steinbrenner-esque ability to throw money at the big time players and get them to come to your team. You can't load up with personnel by overspending like that in the NFL. However, you CAN pay too much for players and use up your cap on guys that don't contribute or don't contribute much. And that was our problem with Casserly. Our biggest cap hit right now is for Weaver. And he's nowhere near our best player. The situation is getting better. But, you're seriously mistaken if you think that McNair's desire to save money has anything to do with... well... anything regarding the players. The one place where an owner CAN throw a lot of money around is in the hiring of coaches and managers. Do you want him to ditch Kubiak and possibly Rick Smith and bring in a new, higher profile staff? |

James Gang
James Gang was an American rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966. Though the band was not a huge commercial success, the fame garnered by guitarist Joe Walsh (who replaced the original guitarist in 1968) has since made the group more notable. After the group split in early 1977, there have been reunion concerts at various times in 1996, 1998, 2001, and 2005–2006.
The founding members of the band were drummer Jim Fox, bassist Tom Kriss, guitarist Ronnie Silverman, keyboardist Phil Giallombardo, and guitarist Glen Schwartz. In 1968 Joe Walsh replaced Schwartz when Schwartz left the band to join Pacific Gas & Electric. The band then released its debut album Yer' Album. In July of 1970, the band released its second album James Gang Rides Again which included the hit single "Funk #49." By this time, Dale Peters had replaced Kriss on bass. The band opened for The Who during a tour of Britain. After two more albums, Thirds, with the single "Walk Away,", and the live album James Gang Live in Concert, Walsh left the band to perform solo and later join the Eagles.
Vocalist Roy Kenner and guitarist Domenic Troiano then joined the band. Troiano left to join Guess Who and was replaced by Tommy Bolin. Bolin left in 1974 to replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. After two albums, "Bang" and "Miami", Bolin was replaced by vocalist Bubba Keith and guitarist Richard Shack, who made "Newborn" (which featured a cover of the Elvis Presley song "Heartbreak Hotel").

Furious; Women's Rights
She continued, "I wanted to give my child the best start in life". SO DID I. So did all the millions of other parents who are actually unable to breast feed, or who, get this, choose not to. I'm surprised Ms Davies doesn't say anything about autism and that breast milk will prevent it. I have read a lot about breast feeding recently, a lot of very useful, informative and helpful articles. This one I found ignorant, dictating and extremely unhelpful to new and vulnerable mothers who simply need support and encouragement when presented with their new born. Ms Davies does talk about statistics, comparing the UK to various other countries, mentioning we are the worst country of breast feeding mothers, and it is still frowned upon in many public places when a mother feeds her baby. This is, however, to be stopped due to the new Equality Act. I was asked once by a midwife during my pregnancy if I intended to breast feed and I gave her a firm answer of No. Nothing more was said. When Amy was born I was given a small bottle of formula and it went from there. Choices are there to be taken; shouldn't it be a woman's right to breast feed or bottle feed? We don't live in the dark ages anymore, Ms Davies.
51 comments:
abso-bloonin-lutely! breast feeding is a choice and doesn't work for many women for a variety of reasons. I have many friends who were made to feel unbelievably guilty for giving formula. surely it is more important for the baby to have a happy, stress free mummy? also, I breastfed big m and she has had umpteen ear infections. I think maybe the whole breast is best campaign neends a rethink. happy loving stress free parents are best in my view.

I'm sooo with you on this one! My eldest was born with two teeth coming through... 'Nough said!
ReplyDelete You'd better watch out you'll get the breast-feeding mafia coming down on you!
Not so long ago, in the 70′s in fact, experts were saying formula was better than breast milk and mums were being encouraged not to breastfeed. Did it mean all those children raised on formula became less intelligent or less healthy adults – I don't know the stats, but I doubt it!
Even now the claims that 'breast is best' is contested by some experts. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6942427/Breastmilk-no-better-for-baby-than-formula-scientist-claims.html
Anyway, regardless of the scientific opinion, I think it is up to the individual!Good for you. And I totally agree with you. With Boy Two I let myself be bullied into breast feeding him up until the point where the HV saw he'd been losing so much weight he had to be a hospital inpatient. All along I'd been saying 'I can't do this, there's no milk' and they kept saying of course there is, keep going. Should have told them to get stuffed.
ReplyDeleteHere Here
When my seven year old was born I wanted to breastfeed but it just didn't happen no matter how much I stressed out about it and no matter what I or the midwives did to help I just couldn't do it.
I was in hospital for five days and the nurses constantly told me that 'breast was best' which is fine but if you cant do it you cant do it.
In the end, I took the decision not to keep trying and to enjoy my baby - the nurses continued to tell me that I should keep trying but I said no and she is now a beautiful, happy, thriving child.
With my second, I said no from the start and although I still felt the pressure, I was much happier with my decision and felt less stressed when the nurses and midwives tried to tell me how I should be breastfeeding.
Sorry for the length of my comment - this really gets me annoyed x xFreedom of Choice, never had a baby (freedom of being independant) believe a woman right to choose. Thanks for being brave and sharing. Sometimes my mom feels like it's her fault, that she did something wrong, of course it's not and she didn't, but I was breast fed and am environmentally sensitive and allergic to dairy and wheat: life it was it is. Did I mention freedom of choice?
ReplyDeleteGood shout, CJ.
I breastfed for 6 months - but because I wanted to. I knew someone who also breastfed (for near on 12 months) and continued to smoke, drink and eat crap food throughout. I really don't think breast is necessarily best. What's best is a combination of what makes Mum happy and, if that choice is breasfeeding, only if it's given responsibly.Like all bigots Ms Davies is evangelical in her beliefs. And like all bigots she spouts utter tosh. Our youngest had real difficulty breast feeding - we had no choice but to move onto bottle and as a consequence he thrived. Would Ms Davies have preferred him to starve or spend month after month distressed?
ReplyDeleteMany things should be a woman's choice. Although my opinion on breast-feeding may differ from yours, I think everybody should get to try things her own way. Of course it is useful to have all the information (and if I find something I consider interesting or useful, I will forward it to friends), but finally, everybody should have the right to choose.
(Since I do not yet have children, I am usually more outraged when it comes to things like "Women have to go for career" or "Women who like to cook are oppressed beings and counteract the good cause of all modern women" and garbage like this. And I, little stupid girl that I am, thought emancipation and all that ruckus had been going on so we would *have* choices!)I breastfed my first two children and bottle fed my third. I don't have any regrets about what I did with any of them, I did what was worked for all of us in each situation.
I tend to be an 'each to their own' type so it gets me very very cross when someone comes over all uppity and pushy about breastfeeding, and I did breastfeed!!!! I hate anything being shoved down peoples throats or that smacks of preachy, gggrrrr
JenI find much of what they purport breastmilk to do to be a bit of bunk
You see, I breastfed my son till he was one (he was a terrible biter and I couldn't wait to stop). He has asthma, horrid allergies, spent his entire infancy and part of toddlerhood coated in eczema, and so on. Apparently the my milk wasn't magic like that woman's.
It's cheap. It's portable. It doesn't make their poop stink.
That's about all I can say for breastmilk.
I don't live in a country where women always have the option. I was lucky and had good enough health and such I could do it. But he got formula sometimes and it didn't kill him.Sounds like you have the same reporter(s), there that likes to hear themselves make noise, as we have here.
If I had been compelled to breastfeed my daughter, she would have starved to death. It just didn't work. My son, on the other hand, did nothing else until he discovered the taste of apple juice (from a bottle, of course).
What an incredibly silly woman. We all want what is best for our children, and bottle or boob, it all works.- farmwifetwoThursday, June 24, 2010
There's online breast feeding police everywhere. I swiped at one not that long ago that claimed equality and truth was she wasn't.
Choice is exactly that... choice.
http://farmersdaughterct.wordpress.com/ She's one that'll tell you how horrible bottle feeding is. How unbelievably ignorant, I wanted to try breatfeeding but I couldn't. My milk didn't come in for 10 days for a start let alone my flat nips! I'll try again but there's nothing wrong with formula-got more nutrients than the average diet I would imagine.
Suggesting formula parents don't want the best start for their children is maddening. It's like when people suggested that me finding out my babies gender at the scan was pointless as the health was what counted the most...well yeah obviously just because I'm impatient doesn't mean I wish for a sick child.I think the only good argument that I've heard in favor of breast feeding was that you pass on your anti-bodies.
Aside from that though, I can't imagine any monumental benefit.
Two of my biggest pet peeves are when people a) state opinion as fact and b) try to press their beliefs on others.
Yes, you're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to shove it down my throat. And what's worse, is people who write articles like that are heralded as authority figures on the matter, AND they make money doing it! Grr...
Anyway... I say, present the FACTS, and let people do what they want!
Excellent post. Bravo!I did both...I tried breastfeeding No1 & it just wasn't working so I switched to formula - she is the healthiest girl out, never had any medical issues & is very rarely ill.
I breastfed No2 successfully for 8 months - he had constant ear & chest infections, had to have grommets put in & had asthma. He has outgrown them all now & is a big strapping teenager, but it just goes to show!
Jayne- SnowboundThursday, June 24, 2010
I have four kids, and breastfed two of them, they are healthy and well. No problems at all.
ReplyDelete Oh dear...... this is a personal choice and if it causes distress to the mother or baby then it is pointless to try to breast feed.
I think people should mind there own business and get on with their own lives.
Take no notice. Things come in & out of fashion.
If you are anything like me, then you won't want to be told what to do.
Maggie X
Nuts in MayI agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying, dear CJ, Choice is a basic human right. I personally breastfed all 4 of mine until at at least 8 months, except for my 13 yr old. I was lucky enough to have great milk production (the dr. called me a gurnsey cow ;oP) But my little geek had such a high metabolism that the only way he got enough milk from me was if he spent 24 hrs a day at the boob. At 2.5 months, I gave him a bottle to supplement in between feedings, just to give myself a break. I realized it worked way better and so did I. Yes there are benefits to both, and ultimately, it is up to the mom whether she can or wants to do either.
Bless you, honey, for speaking up!It is a choice one way or another, and I completely agree with you - it's the mother and her baby who make the choice. I partially breastfed and partially bottlefed my twin girls because I didn't make enough milk for two but wanted to try. Is that for everyone? NO! This reminds me of the anger that I get when people say that women who work and send their children to daycare are letting other women raise their children for them. GRRR!
ReplyDelete- AnonymousThursday, June 24, 2010
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Breastfeeding should not be forced onto mothers. I did breastfeed to start, but moved onto bottle, as I had to go back to work. I don't think that it did my son any harm.
Jacqueline I think it is very ignorant and unfair for the woman writing that article to say that a woman should be forced to breast feed. I have a sister-in-law who couldn't. There are also women like me who gain weight while breast feeding. And ultimately, who is to say what is right or wrong for your own child.
I have had to contemplate this choice this week, since I just found out that I am expecting. I plan to breast feed for 4 months, then switch to formula.
To each their own, is what I believe.Evelyn - congratulations on your pregnancy! Good luck with the feeding!!
Troy - We are all entitled to our opinions, including you my dear! Now off you go...!!!
Thank you for all your great comments; I have really enjoyed reading your views. Each have their own reasons to breast feed or not to and I always felt that mine were no one else's business. Women should not be made to feel guilty for formula feeding; we all want the best for our children and we go all out to get it. You are all wonderful parents and I admire you immensely.
Thanks again, CJ xxOf course this choice is intensely personal and one only the wet nurse should make;-)
I breast fed my Rachie, so we can't say that caused her autism. It was my choice, but I did it for 6 months for all 3 of my babies. I've got to tell you, though very intimate and rewarding, it's also exhausting to be the sole source of nutrition for your baby--especially when you have other young ones to raise as well.This is a big issue and we mustn't forget that the Nestle company have done their best to promote bottle feeding in Africa. This is a bad thing because those people can't afford to buy formula. We are the lucky ones, we can, for the most part. It would have been better to leave those people to breast feed and encourage that, surely.
Personally, I wanted very much to breastfeed my babies, but I was unable to because each time I tried it, I bled from the nipples and it was agony. I had to give up for both my own sake and the baby. It is a regret I have to live with.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I just think that in an ideal world, it would be the best way to look after the baby.
Blessings, StarI do think 'breast is best' however it is something that I never wanted to do as I always thought I would feel like a human 'cow'. Having said that I did infact breastfeed for 6mnths and 3 days. Yes I actually counted the days!. I personally found the whole thing quite gross! There I was sat with a thing
(oops a baby) hanging off my boob! I found it at times a very painful experience. If I had a second child I don't think I would breast feed again.Don't get me started on this one. In fact I've blogged around it this week.
Despite what they say, breast isn't always best and there's more to take into account than the health benefits to a baby in being breastfed. It wasn't right for TB and I was foolish to push on but with Mr A it's been perfect.
At the end of the day, like whether you feed your kid an all-organic diet or let them have burger king for tea every Friday night, it's your choice as a parent and not something anyone else should be able to decide for you.- AnonymousFriday, June 25, 2010
I absolutely agree - I tried with my first for three days and almost ended up back in hospital due to infection - hated it. Did not even try with my second and both my children have turned out fit and well. How dare someone take something as personal as this and try to forcibly dictate it should be done. I am appalled.
ReplyDelete As usual, the "choice" here is a two-way thing.
First, I should point out I have no children!
However, what I will say (and I may well be lambasted for it) is that I find the sight of a baby being breastfed in a public place pretty damn offputting. I have been on buses, trains, Metros, parks, restaurants, bars, you name it, where someone has suddenly whipped out a boob and started breastfeeding. I personally find it distasteful. I'm not allowed to wander around a public place topless, or with one breast hanging out (not that I feel the need, by the way) without being in danger of complaint and potentially, arrest! I see no difference.
I have seen people manage to do it very, very surreptitiously and I don't really have a problem with that. But some people seem to feel the need to make it extremely obvious and that just doesn't seem right.
Is it not also my "right" to be able to go about my daily business without having to see a baby munching away at someone's breast?
I have no idea what the evidence is for the passing on of immunity etc is, but from a purely economic view, I can totally see why breastfeeding is much more sensible, if the mother is able/capable/willing to do so.
But honestly - in public. Is it really too much to ask that some milk be expressed and put in a bottle to take with you when you go out in case the baby happens to get hungry?
I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but it's mine!I agree entirely. I think that sort of journalism is unhelpful and damaging to those unable to breasfeed. We have had a campaign to encourage women to breastfeed and I think it's done its job. There's no need to go so far as to make it compulsary.
My daughter would not breastfeed and in the end the midwives in hospital said she had to be bottlefed or she would starve - when I got home, with a lot of help from my midwife I managed to breastfeed a little, but used formula as well. I don't think it has done my daughter any harm and I would never berate another mother for using formula, whatever her reasons.Choice is choice, and we are all within our rights to make our own decisions. I do find sometimes that people make choices without all the correct facts. Which, in this instance may put some women off not trying to breastfeed - see MuddlingAlongMummy post on this (where I found you!)
I ran a Breastfeeding Carnival http://support4women.net/?p=362 last week, but I really would have liked a post from someone who chose not to breastfeed, like you, Crystal Jigsaw.
Maybe we'll run another Carnival covering just the choice part of pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding? Let me know - is just about supporting ALL women! Please get in touch

The Welsh bmds which I have access to list several occurrences of Annes, Anness, and Annesta between 1840 and 1925. (No Annest) There are also hundreds of Nestas - looks like Nesta took over from the original name.This message was edited by the author on August 6, 2009 at 9:35:27 AM

Ask-A-Linguist Message Details
Subject: | Central Mexican Phonology |
Question: | Hello! I have a question concerning the Mexican dialect of Spanish. I'm trying to figure out what to call a particular sound I'm hearing. I'm not sure how to represent this, but it sounds like an r going to a soft th or sh, like rth or rsh. It seems to only occur at the end of words and before a pause. From what I've been able to figure out, it seems like it might be an assibilated r, but I'm just not sure. Does anyone know what this particular sound might be? Thank you! |

Mandal, Tapas Kumar and Gopalakrishnan, J (2005) New Route to Ordered Double Perovskites: Synthesis of Rock Salt Oxides, $Li_4MWO_6$, and Their Transformation to $Sr_2MWO_6$ $(M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni)$ via Metathesis. In: Chemistry of Materials, 17 (9). pp. 2310-2316.

We describe a solid-state metathesis route for the synthesis of double perovskite oxides, $Sr_2MWO_6$ $(M= Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni)$, that enabled us to obtain cation-ordered phases at a considerably lower temperature $(\sim750^oC)$ than what is employed in conventional synthesis of these materials. The method involves reaction of appropriate rock salt related precursor oxides of the formula $Li_4MWO_6$ with anhydrous $SrCl_2$ in the solid state at $750^oC$ for 1-2 days. For this purpose, rock salt precursor oxides were designed and synthesized for the first time. Cation ordering in the $Sr_2MWO_6$ products obtained was investigated by Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data. We believe that the strategy described here is general and could be extended for the synthesis of functional double perovskites at relatively mild conditions.

Zhang, Hai Ning (2004) Simplification and refinement of point cloud models. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
| PDF - Accepted Version 2993Kb |
Point cloud models (PCMs) are 3D point datasets from 3D acquisition device. They are densely sampled from the surfaces of objects. Each point in the PCM consists only of 3D coordinates, sometimes also of normal vector without information of structures, or connectivity. The size of a PCM may be up to several millions. Research reported in this thesis focuses on developing a two-stage technique: to simplify a very dense PCM into compact PCMs according to required compact rate, and on reverse, to refine the compact PCMs at least as dense as or denser than the original. In stage one, a PCM (only including 3D coordinates), will be simplified into a compact one with an octree and principle component analysis (PCA). From the result of PCA, features of the local surface defined by points in a leaf node can be detected. For a specific feature in a leaf node of the octree, corresponding simplification algorithm is applied to resample points from original one. The points in compact PCM also have information of normal vector and feature . On stage two, a dense PCM is obtained by refining the compact PCM from stage one with the refinement schemes. Finally, in order to check the results of simplification and refinement, we make two comparisons. The first is between compact PCM and the original PCM in order to determine if it is good or bad for a compact PCM to represent the original PCM . The second comparison happens between refined and original PCMs in order to verify how many features are lost during the two stages, and for survived features, how different they are from the ones in the original PCM. For both comparisons, a normalized result is reported.

Quantum Dots Based Probes Conjugated to Annexin V for Photostable Apoptosis Detection and Imaging
Le Gac, Severine and Vermes, István and Berg, Albert van den (2006) Quantum Dots Based Probes Conjugated to Annexin V for Photostable Apoptosis Detection and Imaging. Nano letters, 6 (9). pp. 1863-1869. ISSN 1530-6984
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 506kB |
Abstract: | Quantum dots (Qdots) are nanoparticles exhibiting fluorescent properties that can be used for cell staining. We present here the development of quantum dots conjugated to Annexin V for specific targeting of apoptotic cells, for both apoptosis detection and staining of apoptotic "living" cells. For that purpose, Qdots Streptavidin Conjugates are coupled to biotinylated Annexin V, a 35-kDa protein which specifically recognizes and binds to phosphatidylserine (PS) moieties present on the outer membrane of apoptotic cells and not on healthy or necrotic cells. By using Annexin V, our Qdots probes are made specific for apoptotic cells. Staining of apoptotic cells was checked using fluorescence and confocal microscopy techniques and nonfixed cells. It is shown here that Qdots are insensitive to bleaching after prolonged exposure as opposed to organic dyes. This makes Qdots excellent candidates to continuously follow fast changes occurring at the membrane of apoptotic cells and facilitates time-lapse imaging as they alleviate any bleaching issue. |

Shared Genetic Component in Migraine and Depression
New research shows that migraine and depression may share a strong genetic component.
"Understanding the genetic factors that contribute to these disabling disorders could one day lead to better strategies to manage the course of these diseases when they occur together
," said Dr. Andrew Ahn, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study and is a member of the American Academy of Neurology. "In the meantime, people with migraine or depression should tell their doctors about any family history of either disease to help us better understand the link between the two."
The study involved 2,652 people who took part in the larger Erasmus Rucphen Family study. All of the participants are descendants of 22 couples who lived in Rucphen in the 1850s to 1900s.
"Genealogical information has shown them all to be part of a large extended family, which makes this type of genetic study possible," said study author Gisela M. Terwindt.
Of the participants, 360 had migraine. Of those, 151 had migraine with aura, which is when headaches are preceded by sensations that affect vision, such as seeing flashing lights, and 209 had migraine with no aura. A total of 977 people had depression, with 25 percent of those with migraine also having depression, compared to 13 percent of those without migraine.
The researchers then estimated the relative contribution of genetic factors for both of the disorders. They found that for both types of migraine, the heritability was estimated at 56 percent, i.e., 56 percent of the trait is explained by genetic effects. For migraine with aura, the estimate was 96 percent. "This finding shows that migraine with aura may be a promising avenue to search for migraine genes," Terwindt said.
Comparing the heritability scores for depression between those with migraine and those without showed a shared genetic component in the two disorders, particularly with migraine with aura. "This suggests that common genetic pathways may, at least partly, underlie both of these disorders, rather than that one is the consequence of the other," Terwindt said.

The classroom will learn you
Cognitive systems will provide decision support for teachers
Share this page
Since the days of the one room schoolhouse, both K-12 and higher education classrooms have been focused on a one-to-many interaction between a teacher and a group of students. All students receive the same material from a teacher in a lecture setting because individual attention for 30 or more is nearly impossible. But IBM and its education partners think the classroom of the future will shift from a one-size-fits-all model to a truly personalized environment.
"The challenge of providing a quality education to all students is a global one. Two out of every three adults have not received the equivalent of a high school education."
Meet the researcher
Chalapathy Neti
Director, Education Transformation,
Thomas J. Watson Research Center
The rapid digitization of the education industry and the emergence of cognitive systems is already happening in parallel. Over the next five years, the two concepts will link, and personalized classrooms will motivate and engage learners at all levels: from a kindergartener studying the alphabet to a physics PhD candidate studying the finer points of String Theory.
The rise of the smart classroom
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have made educational content widely available to anyone with an internet connection. Their publishers are also making the content more engaging and adaptive for classroom use, while mobile devices make it possible to learn anytime and anywhere. All of this digital education creates a tremendous amount of data about all aspects of teaching and learning. And it's not only test scores, but also information about student behavior on digital learning platforms, attendance, and more.
IBM envisions educational institutions adopting cloud-based cognitive systems to collect and analyze all of this data over a long period of time — creating longitudinal student records that would give teachers the information they need to provide personalized learning experiences for their students. These systems would also help teachers identify students who are most at risk, why they are struggling, as well as insight into the interventions needed to overcome those challenges.
The system could also couple a student's goals and interests with data on their learning styles so that teachers can determine what type of content to give the student, and the best way to present it. Imagine an eighth grader who dreams of working in finance but struggles with quadratic and linear equations. The teacher would use this cognitive system to find out the students learning style and develop a plan that addresses their knowledge gaps.
In addition to the personalized syllabus, the content the student receives would be interactive with deep question and answering capability , for example. The content would also be automatically tagged so that the student would spend more time consuming the information they need, rather than trying to search for it. Depending on how the student is motivated, gamification elements could be incorporated so that student has a deep understanding of the concepts they are being taught, and have fun doing it. If the student wants to work in finance, the teacher could seek input from partnering financial services companies to ensure the student is developing skills that would be relevant in the workforce.
Working with clients: Gwinnett County Public Schools
IBM is working with the state of Georgia's Gwinnett County Public Schools, the 14th largest school district in the U.S., to use big data analytics and cognitive technologies for population analysis of longitudinal student records. By identifying similarities in how students learn and predicting performance and learning needs, specific content and teaching techniques can be aligned to each of the district's 170,000 students to ensure the best learning experience.

Buying local will beat online
Buying local will be back in style once again. Savvy retailers will use the immediacy of the physical store and proximity to customers to create experiences that cannot be replicated by online-only retail. They will magnify the digital experience by bringing the web right to where the shopper can physically touch it.
Doctors will routinely use your DNA to keep you well
Computers will help doctors understand how a tumor affects a patient down to their DNA, and present a collective set of medications shown to best attack the cancer, while reducing the time it takes to find the right treatment for a patient from weeks and months to days and minutes.
A digital guardian will protect you online
Security is going to become more agile and contextual based on a 360 degree of an individual's data, devices and applications. A digital guardian will have your back, trained to focus on the people and items it is entrusted with, so it can make inferences about what's normal or reasonable activity and what's not, ready to spot deviations that could be precursors to an attack and a stolen identity.
The city will help you live in it
Smarter cities will become sentient cities, understanding in real time how billions of events occur as computers learn to understand what people need, what they like, what they do, and how they move from place to place. Mobile devices and social engagement will enable citizens to strike up a relationship with their city leaders so their voices will be heard not only on election day, but every day.

Inspirations for a design could come from anywhere. In the case of the OT Tech collection, adidas Originals took the fun aspects of Tokyo and transcribe them in splash of colors and vibrant patterns. There is one additional input, however, for the OT Tech Backpack the OT Tech Hiker Boots. Like that of the Jordan AJ 11 Pinnacle Backpack (Inspired By Air Jordan XI Cool Grey), the OT Tech Backpack bears almost all the similarities as in its boots form forebearer. In place of the tumbled leather, much of the pack is in strength canvas, but still with imprints of small white crosses. A streak of aqua blue across the upper portion doubles as a seamless zip compartment. Retention cords, which allow the bag to expand for more storage, are the exact replicas of the OT Tech Hiker Boots' laces, right down to the speed lace eyelets. Padded breathable back panel and removable cellphone case, the OT Tech Backpack will be another wanted item this holiday season. Especially for those with OT Tech Hiker Boots to match.
