About Frankie Morello:
The Frankie Morello brand was founded in 1999 as a result of a meeting in styles between Maurizio Modica and Pierfrancesco Gigliotti.
Maurizio Modica gained work experience in Paris and Milan, starting in the artistic field as performer, choreographer, set and costume designer for a wide number of theatre and dance events, before working with Alessi, thanks to which he arrived in the world of design. With Alessi, he organised events, exhibitions and workshops, among which the "FFF" meta-project.
Pierfrancesco Gigliotti graduated from the Politecnico di Milano with a thesis called "The suit as architecture of the body". He has worked in Milan, Stockholm, New York and Tokyo.
The limelight turned to the Frankie Morello brand in 1999 with the men's spring/summer collection, which immediately called the attention of prestigious international periodicals and important buyers. Today, despite the evolution and eclecticism shown in expressing a form of fashion aiming to step outside convention, the two designers have not lost their strong identity, continuing to offer garments with fresh sartorial content.
Their philosophy expresses the consideration of a defect, that defect perceived as artistic detail, the imperfection that can be worn, structured and destructured. The suit is conceived as "art" to be worn.
Order arises from disorder. Disorder springing from a mixture of fabrics, themes, colours and settings that together are incongruous, but are characterised by clear keys to interpretation. A refined balance of opposites, pleasingly in harmony with each other, in which minor details become the characteristic elements of a garment.

10. A hot melt adhesive formulation comprising the polymer of claim 8.
This invention relates to the reduction of color formation in diene polymers and hot melt adhesive formulations which contain such diene polymers, especially block copolymers of conjugated dienes and vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons. More particularly, it relates to the reduction of such color formation by the use of coupling agents whose by-products of reaction do not contribute to color formulation.
It is known that a block copolymer can be obtained by an anionic copolymerization of a conjugated diene compound and an alkenyl arene compound by using an organic alkali metal initiator. Block copolymers have been produced which comprise primarily those having a general structure
A--B and A--B--A
wherein the polymer blocks A comprise thermoplastic polymer blocks of alkenyl arenes such as polystyrene, while block B is a polymer block of a conjugated diene such as butadiene or isoprene. The proportion of the thermoplastic blocks to the elastomeric polymer block and the relative molecular weights of each of these blocks is balanced to obtain a rubber having unique performance characteristics. When the content of the alkenyl arene is small, the produced block copolymer is a so-called thermoplastic rubber. In such a rubber, the blocks A are thermodynamically incompatible with the blocks B resulting in a rubber consisting of two phases--a continuous elastomeric phase (blocks B) and a basically discontinuous hard, glass-like plastic phase (blocks A) called domains. Since the A--B--A block copolymers have two A blocks separated by a B block, domain formation results in effectively locking the B blocks and their inherent entanglements in place by the A blocks and forming a network structure.
These domains act as physical crosslinks anchoring the ends of many block copolymer chains. Such a phenomenon allows the A--B--A rubber to behave like a conventionally vulcanized rubber in the unvulcanized state and is applicable for various uses. For example, these network forming polymers are applicable for uses such as adhesive formulations; as moldings of shoe soles, etc.; impact modifier for polystyrene resins and engineering thermoplastics; modification of asphalt; etc.
Many such polymers are made by coupling with coupling agents as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,203. Such coupling agents, including dibromoethane, may contain halogens. With halogen-containing coupling agents, the coupling reaction results in the formation of Lithium halide, LiX. This can cause the polymer to turn brown when the temperature is elevated, a disadvantage for applications such as films and coatings, especially when high clarity is required.
Adhesive formulations containing coupled polymers containing LiI, LiCl or LiBr (but not LiF) salts are known to develop a brown color when aged at high temperatures such as 177� C. This problem does not occur in sequentially polymerized polymers. This is considered a problem for hot melt adhesive manufacturers who sometimes hold adhesives at high temperatures for extended times during hot melt application. The brown color is undesirable for many end uses for such adhesive products such as diaper assembly, clear labels, clear tapes, clear decals, etc.
We have found that color generation is not correlated with increased oxidative degradation. Thus, the commonly used methods for dealing with color formation in polymers are not effective in this situation. We have found that, the use of specific coupling agents and antioxidants will greatly reduce the color formation in these polymers and hot melt adhesive formulations containing them.
The present invention provides a color stable diene polymer which comprises at least one diene polymer block and at least one other polymer block which are coupled together with a coupling agent of the formula ##STR2## wherein R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl or alkoxy containing up to 20 carbon atoms or more and at least 2 of them must be alkoxy. In a preferred embodiment, the color stable polymer is comprised of at least two blocks of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and at least one block of a diene. In the most preferred embodiment, a piosphite antioxidant is added to the polymer to increase its color stability. The most preferred coupling agent is methyl dimethoxy silane but dimethyl dimethoxy silane and difluoro diphenyl silane are also preferred. The invention also encompasses a hot melt adhesive formulation comprising the color stable polymer of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a plot of Gardner color versus time in which the color stability of hot melt adhesive formulations made with a commercial polymer and a polymer coupled with methyl dimethoxy silane are compared.
FIG. 2 is a similar plot wherein the effect of adding a phosphite antioxidant to the adhesive formulation is also compared.
FIG. 3 is a similar plot which compares adhesive formulations made with methyl dimethoxy silane-coupled polymers with 2 different phosphite antioxidants and also without phosphite antioxidant.
As is well known, polymers containing both aromatic and ethylenic unsaturation can be prepared by copolymerizing one or more polyolefins, particularly a diolefin, in this case butadiene and isoprene, with one or more alkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomers, in this case styrene. Other diolefins such as 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1,3-hexadiene and the like, and other vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons such as o-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, p-tertbutylstyrene, 1,3-dimethylstyrene, alphamethylstyrene, vinylnapthalene, vinylanthracene and the like may be used. The copolymers may, of course, be random, tapered, block or a combination of these, in this case block.
Polymers containing ethylenic unsaturation or both aromatic and ethylenic unsaturation may be prepared using free-radical, cationic and anionic initiators or polymerization catalysts. Such polymers may be prepared using bulk, solution or emulsion techniques. In any case, the polymer containing at least ethylenic unsaturation will, generally, be recovered as a solid such as a crumb, a powder, a pellet or the like. Polymers containing ethylenic unsaturation and polymers containing both aromatic and ethylenic unsaturation are, of course, available commercially from several suppliers.
Polymers of conjugated diolefins and copolymers of one or more conjugated diolefins and one or more alkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomers such as ABA block copolymers are frequently prepared in solution using anionic polymerization techniques. In general, when solution anionic techniques are used, these ABA block copolymers are prepared by contacting the monomers to be polymerized simultaneously or sequentially with an organoalkali metal compound in a suitable solvent at a temperature within the range from about -150� C. to about 300� C., preferably at a temperature within the range from about 0� C. to about 100� C. Particularly effective anionic polymerization initiators are organolithium compounds having the general formula:
R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or alkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 to 4.
In general , any of the solvents known in the prior art to be useful in the preparation of such polymers may be used. Suitable solvents, then, include straight- and branched-chain hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, heptane, octane and the like, as well as, alkyl-substituted derivatives thereof; cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane and the like, as well as, alkyl-substituted derivatives thereof; aromatic and alkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene, toluene, xylene and the like; hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons such as tetralin, decalin and the like; linear and cyclic ethers such as methyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and the likes.
The process by which the block copolymers are prepared is not critical to this invention except that the polymers are produced by the well known coupling technique of block polymerization as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,203 which is herein incorporated by reference. As is well known in the block copolymer art, tapered copolymer blocks can be incorporated in the multiblock copolymer by copolymerizing a mixture of conjugated diene and vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomers utilizing the difference in their copolymerization reactivity rates. Various patents describe the preparation of multiblock copolymers containing tapered copolymer blocks including U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,251,905; 3,265,765; 3,639,521 and 4,208,356. The disclosures of all of the patents mentioned in this paragraph are herein incorporated by reference. If desired, these block copolymers can be hydrogenated. Hydrogenation may be effected selectively as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. Re: 27,145 or 5,039,755 which are herein incorporated by reference. The hydrogenation of these polymers and copolymers may be carried out by a variety of well established processes including hydrogenation in the presence of such catalysts as Raney Nickel, noble metals such as platinum and the like, soluble transition metal catalysts and titanium catalysts.
As discussed above, polymers coupled with conventional coupling agents containing halogen, when used alone or in hot melt adhesives or in other applications, have a tendency to turn brown when aged at high temperature. We have found that this phenomenon is not caused by the commonly known phenomenon of oxidative degradation. The normal methods of reducing color formation due to such causes do not stop this color formation in polymers of conjugated dienes or copolymers thereof with vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons containing Cl-, Br-, or I-, but not F-.
Many block copolymers of conjugated dienes and vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons contain residual lithium bromide because of the process by which they are made. It is our theory that the color formation in these polymers and hot melt adhesive formulations containing these polymers is caused by the presence of lithium bromide in the polymer. We feel that the color is caused by the reaction of lithium bromide with oxygen. We have been able to achieve a color reduction by reducing the level of lithium bromide in the polymer by water washing the polymer cement. This approach has serious drawbacks since water washing requires a large capital investment.
As stated above, we have found that we can produce a color stable diene polymer which comprises at least one diene polymer block and at least one other polymer block wherein the two or more blocks are coupled together with a coupling agent of the formula set forth in the Summary of the Invention section. The preferred coupling agent of this class is methyl dimethoxy silane. Other coupling agents which will provide the advantages of the present invention are dimethyl dimethoxy silane and, surprisingly difluoro diphenyl silane. These coupling agents simply replace the conventional coupling agents normally used in the process described above.
It is preferred to use polymers made with these coupling agents in combination with phosphite antioxidants. Use of such antioxidants improves the color stability of the polymers of the present invention to a much greater degree than that of prior art coupled polymers. We think this occurs because the darkening of hot melt color due to the oxidation of Lithium halide salts is so intense, it essentially masks the improvement in color that can be obtained with phosphite antioxidants. Examples of phosphite antioxidants include trisnonylphenyl phosphite; Polygard HR; tris-mixed mono and di nonylphenyl phosphite; Vltranox 626, bis(2,4-di-t-butyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite; and Irgafos 168, tris(2,4-di-t-butyl phenyl) phosphite.
These polymers are particularly applicable for use in hot melt adhesive formulations. Such formulations are often subjected to high temperatures, such as 177� C., at which the prior art polymers experience discoloration problems. The use of the polymers of the present invention in such hot melt adhesive formulations will eliminate the discoloration problem. The polymers of the present invention may also be used to advantage in applications such as films, and elastomeric coatings wherein discoloration of the polymer and the product is a significant disadvantage.
It may be necessary to add an adhesion promoting or tackifying resin that is compatible with the elastomeric conjugated diene block. A common tackifying resin is a diene-olefin copolymer of piperylene and 2-methyl-2-butene having a softening point of about 95� C. This resin is available commercially under the tradename Wingtack 95 and is prepared by the cationic polymerization of 60% piperylene, 10% isoprene, 5% cyclopentadiene, 15% 2-methyl-2-butene and about 10% dimer, as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,577,398 which is incorporated by reference. Other tackifying resins of the same general type may be employed in which the resinous copolymer comprises 20-80 weight percent of piperylene and 80-20 weight percent of 2-methyl-2butene. The resins normally have softening points (ring and ball) between about 80� C. and about 115� C.
Other adhesion promoting resins which are also useful in the compositions of this invention include hydrogenated rosins, esters of rosins, polyterpenes, terpenephenol resins and polymerized mixed olefins. To obtain good thermo-oxidative and color stability, it is preferred that the tackifying resin be a saturated resin, e.g., a hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene resin such as Escorez� 5000 series resin made by Exxon or a hydrogenated polystyrene or polyalphamethylstyrene resin such as Regalrez� resin made by Hercules.
The amount of adhesion promoting resin employed varies from about 20 to about 400 parts by weight per hundred parts rubber (phr), preferably between about 100 to about 350 phr. The selection of the particular tackifying agent is, in large part, dependent upon the specific block copolymer employed in the respective adhesive composition.
The adhesive composition of the instant invention may contain plasticizers, such as rubber extending plasticizers, or compounding oils or liquid resins. Rubber compounding oils are well-known in the art and include both high saturates content oils and high aromatics content oils. Preferred plasticizers are highly saturated oils, e.g. Tufflo� 6056 oil made by Arco. The amounts of rubber compounding oil employed in the invention composition can vary from 0 to about 100 phr, and preferably between about 0 to about 60 phr.
Optional components of the present invention are stabilizers which inhibit or retard heat degradation, oxidation, skin formation and color formation caused by the commonly known yellowing due to oxidative degradation. Stabilizers are typically added to the commercially available compounds in order to protect the polymers against heat degradation and oxidation during the preparation, use and high temperature storage of the adhesive composition. The phosphites may also provide some of these advantages. Additional stabilizers known in the art may also be incorporated into the adhesive composition.
In this example, hot melt adhesives were compounded in a Sigma blade mixer utilizing the following formulation: 25% KRATON� D1107 rubber (a linear styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer), a commercially available polymer coupled with a halogen containing coupling agent, or M1107 rubber (a very similar block copolymer), which is coupled with methyl dimethoxy silane, 60% ESCOREZ� 5300 hydrogenated resin, 15% TUFFLO� 6056 oil and 0.5% IRGANOX� 1010 antioxidant (tetrakis[methylene(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy hydrocinnamate)]methane). Both KRATON� D1107 and M1107 also contain small quantities of BHT (0.3%). This formulation was used because the particular resin and oil are very color stable and it is theorized that differences in color formation must then be due to the coupling agent used. M1107, the methyl dimethoxy silane-coupled polymer, was made by the same procedure used to make the KRATON� D1107 polymer except that MDMS was used as the coupling agent instead of dibromo ethane.
Aging of the formulation was performed at 177� C. with 100 grams of adhesive formulation in a 200 ml Griffin tallform beaker covered with aluminum foil . Aliquots of the aged adhesive were poured off into 10 ml beakers and these samples were color rated with a Gardner color comparator. Adhesive color was determined initially and after aging for 24, 48 and 96 hours. The data obtained is plotted in FIG. 1 which shows the color stability as a function of the change in Gardner color over time. It can be seen that the color of the methyl dimethoxy silane-coupled polymer is at all times considerably lower than the color of the commercial polymer coupled with a halogen-containing coupling agent.
The procedure of Example I was utilized in this set of experiments as were the polymers used in Example I. 0.5 wt.% of POLYGARD HR antioxidant, trim-(mixed mono- and di-nonylphenyl) phosphite with triisopropanol amine from Uniroyal Chemical Group, was added to the adhesive formulations and the color stability was observed as in Example I.
FIG. 2 is a plot of the data from this set of experiments combined with the data from Example I. It can be seen that the addition of the phosphite antioxidant slightly increases the color stability of the polymer coupled with a coupling agent containing halogen. However, there is a much more dramatic increase in color stability when the phosphite antioxidant is combined with a polymer which has been coupled with methyl dimethoxy silane.
In this set of experiments, the procedure of Example II was followed. An additional adhesive formulation was made up, this time incorporating 0.5 wt.% of ULTRANOX� 626 antioxidant, bis(2,4-di-t-butyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite from Borg Warner Corporation. The polymer was the methyl dimethoxy silane-coupled polymer. The color of the formulation was measured at 24, 48 and 96 hours and the results were exactly the same as those for the same polymer incorporating the POLYGARD HR antioxidant in Example II. FIG. 3 is a plot of the data of this example combined with the data from Example II for the methyl dimethoxy silane-coupled polymer. It can be seen that both types of phosphite antioxidants dramatically increase the color stability of the adhesive formulation.
The procedure of Example I was followed herein except that the polymer of the invention, F1107, was coupled with diphenyldifluorosilane. The adhesive was aged as above and the results, shown in Table 1, prove that using diphenyldifluorosilane decreases the color formation.

Nope, They're Still Gonna Smell the Same
If you've ever visited Washington, DC, you may know we have an awfully quirky taxi system. Your fare isn't based on how long you're ...
If you've ever visited Washington, DC, you may know we have an awfully quirky taxi system. Your fare isn't based on how long you're in the cab, or exactly how far you travel. No, the fares are based on an arcane, confoundingly gerrymandered map of zones and subzones, and you pay based on how many of these imaginary lines you cross.
So as a cab-riding resident of the District, my ears always perk up at the mention of other cities' cab innovations.
That's why this little piece from New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer blog, about new technology in NYC's cabs, caught my eye:
There's an interactive map that shows where you are, and a weather forecast and an ESPN feed and news broadcast from Channel 7, which is perhaps the one part we could really do without. ...
But the best part is that the system accepts credit and debit cards -- and will be in every cab by the end of January.
I've used credit cards to pay for cabs in a couple of cities (at least Chicago and Memphis), but this still sounds pretty innovative.
Meanwhile, I'm just happy if the cab drivers in DC have correct change.

Playing To Win In Dallas
Filed under: ASI Shows, News About ASI
Troy Aikman, ASI's keynote speaker in Dallas, had a great excuse for running a couple minutes later than I expected to our show on Thursday: He was dropping his two young daughters off at school, something the 48-year-old dad does every day, no matter what.
It says a lot when a guy worth an estimated $25 million drives his own car, runs his own errands and makes family a priority. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback even told us his favorite pastime when he's not working as a FOX sportscaster is spending time with his daughters, aged 12 and 13.
"I don't want to be corny, but I hang out with my girls," he told the 600 people at the keynote at the ASI Show Dallas, which ended Thursday after three days at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, attracting 485 exhibitors and 3,435 attendees from 49 states and 19 countries, with distributor attendance up about 4% over 2014.
All told, a record 20 companies chose Dallas to host their sales meetings, an increase of 15% over the previous year. The show also attracted 270 female-owned and 230 minority-owned businesses, which I was very happy to see.
Aikman was not what I expected. When we first met backstage in the green room he seemed low key and almost subdued. But once he got on stage, he really came to life, telling fascinating and often funny stories about growing up in California and Oklahoma, where his family raised cows, horses and chickens on 240 acres.
I always find that when you ask someone about their upbringing, you learn fascinating things. In Aikman's case, even though he took one of the most successful teams in the history of the game to the Super Bowl three times, he came off confident without being arrogant. That's an admirable trait a lot of successful people can't manage to pull off.
He also offered some insight into the Cowboys as an organization, and the tough but fair leadership of former Dallas Coach Jimmy Johnson, who told him, "You don't coach a player to what he is, you coach him to what you want him to be."
Aikman expected his teammates to know their roles and treat professional football like the job it is. "People get fired for not knowing their assignments in the real world," he said. "My job as quarterback was to do whatever it takes to win."
Surprisingly, football wasn't Aikman's first choice. In high school, he also played baseball and basketball and only signed up for high school football so he wouldn't disappoint his father. Even as he racked up success on the playing field in college and with the Cowboys he never stopped working hard.
Even his rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys, when the team won only a single game, taught him a valuable lesson. "It served me well later in life," said Aikman. "I never forgot how hard it is to win. I never forgot what it was like to lose a game."
Not surprisingly, he said, "My career surpassed my wildest dreams. I can't complain at all." How many among us can say that – and mean it?

Upcoming 2015 ASI Shows are Long Beach (March 24-26), New York (May 5-6) and Chicago (July 14-16). To learn more about exhibiting or sponsorship opportunities for 2015, contact Karen DiTomasso, vice president of sales, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Game On in Dallas
Filed under: ASI Shows, News About ASI
Since I live and work so close to Philadelphia, I've become a big fan of the Eagles football team. In 2005, I was even lucky enough to watch them play in Super Bowl XXXIX against the New England Patriots in Jacksonville, Florida – a very big deal for someone whose high school was too small to support its own football team.
Now I'm gearing up for a Q&A with one of the greatest players of our time, three-time Super Bowl champ and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, who graciously agreed to step in as a last-minute keynote speaker at the ASI Show® in Dallas. I'll interview Aikman, an Emmy-nominated FOX sportscaster, Thursday, February 5, at 8:30 a.m. at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, on the final day of our three-day show.
If you have any questions for Troy, please post a comment or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Most recently, Aikman jumped into the fray over the "deflategate" controversy, going so far as to call for severe punishments for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick for those deflated footballs. I like a guy who speaks his mind and can't wait to see what else he has to say about life on and off the field.
Aikman is sure to have some great stories about working for one of the most recognizable brands in the world and how he transitioned from one successful career to another without missing a beat.
In addition to the Q&A, Dallas offers a ton of other highlights:

Sharing Our Story
Filed under: Community, News About ASI
Earlier this week, I sat down with a group of distributors to discuss an informative 30-minute program ASI has aired on a few cable stations that we hope captures the excitement of this business, the power of promotional products and its importance to marketers. The distributors' concerns and questions over the program echo some online discussions making the rounds, and I appreciated the opportunity to share my own feelings and answer some questions.
Our main goal in airing the program was to communicate why we're all in this industry and what it can do for others looking for an interesting career and a new way to be successful. Through initiatives like this program and ASI's long-running education and PR outreach, we're hopeful business-minded people and entrepreneurs – and especially more women, young people and minorities – will get interested enough in our industry to learn more. Maybe they'll join as distributors, become account execs for a current distributor, or even start buying promo products to get the word out about their own business.
The very closely focused test with the program is nearly complete, and we won't be able to judge for several months if it was worth the investment – measured by people who respond for information, attend some follow-up online educational sessions and other metrics for these types of programs. In terms of the test, it's been run in a few markets, airing weekends or late at night to a few thousand viewers, similar to a direct-mail campaign that any distributor, supplier or decorator might conduct.
To put this test into perspective, we haven't been airing the program during the Super Bowl to 100 million people. We deliberately chose to air it over specialized cable networks like CNBC and Fox News with visibility only to entrepreneurs and people looking for a career switch or a second career – people likely with business acumen that would add to our industry. We worked with outside experts to identify the couple of channels that would include entrepreneurial business types and specifically exclude general consumers.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, more than one person at the table of distributors in Vegas told me they got into this industry after learning about it through word of mouth, from a friend or through a distributor they met at places like church. Today, social media and video are the new word of mouth and the ways friends keep in touch and share new ideas.
For over 60 years, ASI has worked hard to communicate the excitement we all feel about this business, scoring numerous positive stories in major national outlets like the Wall Street Journal and on networks like MSNBC. Equally as important, we've worked to protect the integrity of the industry by championing a strong business model that supports the success of both suppliers and distributors. We're not about to change now.
But everyone doing business in today's world is facing new challenges and with them new opportunities. Now more than ever, we need to work together to keep the industry healthy and viable – and growing. Worries about possible competition should be outweighed by the need for a strong, diverse, growing work force. And more and more people understanding our $20.5 billion industry provides great ROI for invested marketing dollars.
At the same time, it's as important to us as it is to you that anyone joining the industry is interested in sourcing products for resale to prospects and customers. From time to time I hear from a current distributor that someone who isn't qualified has joined ASI. Often, this is a bit of a story passed down the lane, with no direct information. But in other cases we've been provided hard contact information and always fully investigated the situation. Sometimes the rumor isn't true. But in the few cases when it has been, we've kicked them out for misrepresentation. If you ever have any questions about someone's true intentions, please let me know. We'll investigate to make sure they meet ASI's qualifications, which remain the same for new distributors no matter how or when they join – without exception. And we'll let you know the outcome.
During my chat in Vegas, the distributors also suggested ASI reach out to colleges and college students and introduce budding entrepreneurs and marketers to an industry they might not even know exists. Business students learn about buying and using TV, radio and Internet advertising, direct mail and everything else under the sun, but marketing programs rarely mention the power of promotional products and their incredible ROI.
We're already on this, but are looking to do even more.
For two years, ASI has worked with Babson College to help business students and budding entrepreneurs gain work experience in the promotional products industry. (For more info on that program, click here). We're now expanding that outreach to other schools, hoping to encourage other business colleges to join us in helping teach tomorrow's entrepreneurs about this exciting, creative industry.
If you have any ideas about other partnerships we can pursue, or schools we might contact, please let me know. Personal connections make these types of trials and introductions much more effective.
As always, I do want to know what you think. So please email me here to further discuss these or any other issues. And certainly feel free to share your thoughts by posting a comment to this blog.

Give Big or Go Home
Filed under: Members, News About ASI, Using Ad Specialties
The results of ASI's just-released corporate gift-giving survey show six in 10 companies plan on thanking clients and employees with holiday gifts this year. What's most surprising to me is that the number isn't 10 in 10. Smart business owners know the best way to keep clients coming back – or to court new business – is to show appreciation.
Gifts don't have to be extravagant, but according to Advantages magazine annual "Gift Guide," gifts that are thoughtful, cool, unique or useful will provide the greatest ROI.
While I admit I lingered over the celebrity robotic avatar offered in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog (asi/59444) for a mere $345,000, a more reasonable choice for clients might be titanium luggage tags from Eddystone Designs (asi/51666). They're terrific – indestructible, color laser-printed and shimmery to boot. I expect to own mine forever.
According to our survey, the main goal of giving gifts to customers is to express appreciation and develop relationships, as well as to generate good will and increase company awareness. I know whether I receive a Swiss chocolate tower, etched bottle of wine or a bacon-scented iPhone alarm clock this year, I'll remember the giver for months, if not years – especially if it's logoed. After all, phenomenal advertiser recall is what promotional products are all about.
For 2014, survey respondents told us that when choosing a gift, they consider an item's attractiveness, durability and usefulness above all else. This year, nothing says "useful" like an imprinted power charger – a high-tech item that's riding the rage wave. Give it to clients and they'll carry it everywhere they go, from home to office to airport lounge.
Sure, you might consider giving a few top clients a case of lobsters or a branded (and memorable) Adirondack chair from AAA Innovations (asi/30023). But our survey results show most companies plan to spend an average of $43 per customer or prospective customer, with food/beverages, desk accessories, writing instruments and calendars topping the list.
When it comes to rewarding employees, most companies are spending about $50 per worker, with gift cards, food/beverages, apparel and cash bonuses as the most popular choices. Here at ASI, we thank each of our full-time employees with a check at our annual holiday party. You might consider a high-quality optical crystal slanted block clocks from Best Deal Awards (asi/47791).
If you're still unsure what to give, or what to suggest to clients planning their holiday orders, here are a few tips culled from the pages of ASI's magazines:
The bottom line is that people love gifts. When we asked survey respondents about the best corporate gift they ever received, answers ranged from days off, gift cards and a donation made to the recipient's favorite charity all the way to fishing rods, Cincinnati Reds tickets in the corporate suite, blown glass insulated beer glasses and a weekend stay at a resort – with babysitting included.
Finally, even though December is the biggest gift-giving month of the year, you could set yourself apart from the crowd by sending your gifts out on, say, Penguin Awareness Day on January 20.
Let me know your gift-giving plans by posting a comment or emailing me here. I'm also on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Steal This Study
Filed under: Community, Member Benefits, News About ASI, Research
It's here: ASI's groundbreaking global research report packed with stats and graphics to help you convince customers to spend more of their marketing moolah on promo products.
Click here for a quick, catchy YouTube video on the study and here to ASI's 2014 Global Advertising Specialties Impressions Study in its entirety.You'll also find easy-to-understand graphics to save and share. I encourage you to post the video and the study link (www.asicentral.com/study) on your own business website to further spread the word about the incredible power of promo products.
The strongest number to tout is promo products' commanding advertiser recall among 85% of consumers surveyed. People really remember the advertiser on logoed items, largely because they see or use them nearly every day. In fact, most people own about 10 items they generally keep for seven months.
Can you remember a single advertiser from the last time you watched TV? I'm betting you can't. Perform this simple test on your next potential customer and you just might score a sale.
ASI conducted its first comprehensive research study in 2006. In a nod to our increasingly global marketplace, this year's study contains far greater global reach, and features several differences worth noting. For the first time we:
This year's data updates prior years' reports by expanding interviews into two cities in Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City) and several additional mid-major markets: Tampa, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Denver and San Diego.
Through conversations with real people who get, use and share ad specialties, we gauged the reach of products, consumer's perceptions, their influence on buying decisions and their influence on the perception of the advertiser.
After thousands of interviews with businesspeople and students in key cities across North America, Canada, Europe and Australia we can say with certainty that ad specialties are one of the most high-impact, cost-effective advertising mediums around.
And, since knowing the likely recipient of products is paramount for an advertiser, we made sure to include demographic information broken down by political affiliation, ethnicity, gender, age and income.
What's most impressive is that no matter where we polled consumers, we found end-buyers who feel good about the brands on promo products they use day in and day out. When's the last time an annoying TV or radio commercial made you feel good? I rest my case!
Another conclusion that resonated with me: First and foremost, consumers want products that are useful, like pens and USB drives. In Canada, 82% of consumers polled said that's why they kept branded items, the highest percentage of any country.
The study is a living document that's meant to be used – not scanned once and forgotten. It's powerful data you can, and should, refer to again and again. Cherry-pick graphics that work best for your business and post them, share them and pass them out on sales calls.
Let me know how you plan to use this study in your business by posting a comment, emailing me here or posting to ASI's Facebook page. I'm also on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Into the Future
Filed under: Community, Member Benefits, Members, News About ASI, Research, Using Ad Specialties
A major theme of this year's U.S. Power Summit was helping prepare the promotional products industry for the future. The keynote speaker, Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard, advised business leaders committed to growth to hire more people who can deliver different solutions to the organization, while futurist John Smart encouraged companies to invest in e-commerce and mobile platforms.
And since suppliers and distributors must be prepared to meet the ever-growing demand for faster service and order processing, we also invited industry experts to discuss the "need for speed" during a session highlighted by an actual drone demo. While flying drones (pictured, right) are really cool, our bigger point in bringing them to the power summit was to get industry people to start thinking about ways they can be utilized in in areas like warehouse inventory and Amazon-like delivery.
This year, the 2014 ASI® Power Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona, attracted about 200 of the most influential distributors, suppliers and decorators in the industry. From the early feedback I've gotten, everyone enjoyed the superior content and business discussions, which were helped along during fun activities like golf and a visit to a nearby ranch for lassoing and skeet shooting. The fine scotch helped too, I'm sure.
Click here for Facebook photos of the action.
We packed a lot into three days. During my Q&A with alphabroder CEO Norman Hullinger, we even broke some news about his plans to double the size of the company in the next five years – and for sales to hit $1.6 billion. In 2013, the number-one supplier on the Counselor® Top 40 list posted sales of $697 million.
Future growth for alphabroder will come from acquisitions and organic growth, especially growth in ad specialty distributorships. But the really big news from alphabroder concerned expanding beyond apparel to a line of hard goods – an expansion that will likely come about through acquisitions as well as internally.
Throughout the power summit, ASI's editorial staffers provided full coverage of happenings along with video interviews from all major presentations. To read more:
When I say we packed a lot into this year's U.S. Power Summit, I mean we packed a lot into this gathering. We also released the names of the industry's most powerful people with the 2014 Counselor Power 50 list. Click here to read our press release with more detail and click here for the full list, topped by Marty Lott and Jeremy Lott of SanMar.
Finally, we also released the 2014 Global Advertising Impressions Study, a cost analysis of promotional products versus other advertising media. For the study, our research team conducted thousands of in-person interviews with businesspeople and students in key cities across North America, Canada, Europe and Australia. This year's data updates prior years' reports by expanding interviews into two cities in Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City) and several additional mid-major markets: Tampa, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Denver and San Diego.
Ultimately, the comprehensive study provides buyers and sellers of promo products with powerful data to convince clients worldwide that ad specialties can increase sales and brand exposure.
Click here to watch an awesome YouTube video on the study results and here to read the study in its entirety.
If you were at the Power Summit, thanks for joining us! I'd love to know what you thought – and any suggestions you may have for next year's event, which we're already planning at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, CA in November 2015 (www.asicentral.com/psreg).

Power Summit 2014: Meet, Share, Solve, Succeed
Filed under: Community, Member Benefits, News About ASI
One of the best aspects of any ASI Power Summit is up-close access to some of the greatest media and marketing minds in the world. At this week's event in Scottsdale, AZ, we're privileged to have Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard as our keynote speaker.
A North Dakota native, Karlgaard is an author and entrepreneur who went from security guard to head of one of the hottest legacy media companies in the Google Age – and I can't wait to hear his thoughts on the five factors that will dramatically affect business growth in 2015 and beyond.
For a recent ASI Radio interview with Rich, click here.
There's more. The 2014 Power Summit – our 8th U.S. event! – at the Four Seasons Scottsdale includes a packed slate of industry insiders who will share their strategies on everything from customization, mobile marketing and demographic shifts to doing business in Mexico and making the best hires.
We've gathered an intimate group for three days in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, Crescent Butte Mountain, Pinnacle Peak and the Valley of the Sun. We'll pack a lot of learning into the sessions, but will leave plenty of time for a first-class, quintessential desert golf experience and celebrations.
In addition, members of Counselor magazine's prestigious Power 50 list will also be on-hand to share their plans for seizing the future and making even greater inroads to industry success.
If you're a returning Power Summit veteran, we are shaking things up a bit this year and I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised by the changes.
The Power Summit experience is one of the best events ASI offers, and here's why: Instead of the rush of a trade show, we get to spend real time getting to know one another in a relaxed setting that's conducive to late-night talks and early morning runs. While we kick it up a notch during our panel sessions – which include group brainstorming to hammer out solutions to common industry problems and even a creative marketing smackdown – we incorporate time for genuine relationship building. And isn't that what doing business together is really all about?
If you have any questions at all about this year's Power Summit, let me know by posting a comment or emailing me here. I'm also on Twitter and LinkedIn.

About Donald Edward Baruch
From "Variety" by Doug Galloway, April 18, 1997
Donald E. Baruch, who served as the Pentagon's principal liaison to the motion picture and television industry for more than four decades, died Feb. 20 of cancer at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. He was 87.
Born in New Jersey and raised in New York, Baruch graduated from Williams College and later produced four Off Broadway plays.
Moving to Hollywood in 1937, Baruch worked for Hal Roach Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as an assistant. He then returned to New York, where he joined Paramount as an assistant to a talent director.
During World War II, Baruch served as an officer in the Army/Air Force's office of public information in Washington, D.C.
Following the war, he continued in that office as a consultant until becoming a federal employee in 1949.
When the Dept. of Defense was created in 1949, Baruch became the special assistant to the assistant secretary of defense for public affairs. He held that position until his retirement in 1989.
Some of the films with which Baruch was associated during his 40-year career included "From Here to Eternity," "The Caine Mutiny," "The Longest Day," "In Harm's Way," "The Green Berets," "Patton," "Stripes," "The Right Stuff" and "Top Gun."
An active member of the Washington, D.C., film community, Baruch was a former president of the Washington Film Council (now the Washington Film and Video Council), a member of CINE, and served as a judge for the U.S. Information Agency's Golden Eagle Awards panel.
Baruch is survived by his wife. A memorial service is planned.
Donations may be made to the Donald Baruch Memorial for Cancer Research at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C.

I'm a weirdo/scum bag.
Born in Alaska. Grew up in the suburbs of Seattle. And have been living in this city for a bit.
I can be funny, charming, probably a little asshole-ish at times. But it's really society that brings that out in me. I'm cynical, but with a heart of gold. That's kind of like saying I'm a nice asshole, right?
I like to do things. I like to eat cool food and drink good beers and cocktails.
I love my dog and I have cats. Or they live here too. I'm pretty sure no one can actually own a cat. It's not like I went out looking for cats either. I swear I'm not that kind of person. A friend found a bunch of abandoned starving kittens and I'm a sucker.
I like good music, and dislike bad music. I like to go to movies and eat popcorn, peanut M&Ms and drink cherry coke. I used to go to shows and see bands a lot. But have fallin out of the loop. Would like to fall back into the loop.
I have tattoos. Arguably, they are bad tattoos.
Also, I did not feed that kid any beer. She was just holding my bottle for me. Also, I totally did not try to sell that kid on the internet.
But if you're looking for a baby, email me. I know people with reasonable rates.
I'm just a man looking for the other half of his horse.

A former child actor in some big movies (Independence Day, Unstrung Heroes, Never Been Kissed), Giuseppe is inspired more by the crazy independent filmmakers of history: Bunuel, Cassavetes and Fassbinder. Obsessed with the edges of society, dirty language spoken as poems and occasional nudity, Giuseppe's films may resemble the underground worlds of Harmony Korine, John Waters and Tod Browning. With a handwritten script, a video camera, an acting ensemble of neighbors and homeless friends - and almost no money, Giuseppe has now made 30 feature films. In Giuseppe's new film "Garbanzo Gas", Vietnam Ron, one of many homeless men in Ventura that Giuseppe has grown up with, plays a vegan cow on vacation from the slaughterhouse. The doc GIUSEPPE MAKES A MOVIE follows the making of "Garbanzo Gas." From Giuseppe's headquarters - his own mobile home - we follow as he sets out to make a feature film in just two days. The stranger-than-fiction documentary explores the Giuseppe universe, showing how the self-taught filmmaker captures an unexpected level of humanism and creates a family unit for a group of people who needed one.

Nurse assistants are actually the bulk of what people assume to be nurses in hospitals and related fields. Nurse assistants are vital to the medical industry: They spend more time with patients than any other medical professional. They also handle all of the other necessary jobs that doctors and registered nurses simply do not have the time for. Nurse assistants often find their job very fulfilling as they possess the ability to truly help people in need of medical attention and to have a direct impact on their health and care.Read More...
Nurse assistants work under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or physician and their working environment can range from the extremes of the emergency room to the relatively mundane responsibilities of a university nurse's office. They may be very busy or they might not have many patients to handle depending on the environment. The working hours for a nurse assistant also vary depending on where they work. If they work at a pediatrician's office, they will likely work an eight hour shift anywhere between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. If they work in a hospital they might work days, nights, 12 hour shifts or sometimes even double shifts.
Nurse assistants use a variety of tools including a stethoscope, watch, blood pressure cuff, penlight, scissors, and many other tools depending on where they work. Requirements for becoming a nurse assistant includes a high school diploma and completion of a nurse assistant training course. In many cases, they must also be able to lift at least 75 pounds and many positions require prior experience in the field.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
As Nurse Assistants transition into upper-level roles such as Physician Assistant, they may see a strong upturn in salary. Physician Assistants earn $82K on average per year. Nurse Assistants moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses. The median paychecks in those roles are $30K higher and $13K higher, respectively.
Nurse Assistants seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Psychiatric, Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Room, and Medicine / Surgery are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 8 percent and 13 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Gynecology and Hospice. Most people familiar with Elder Care also know Acute Care and Medicine / Surgery.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Nurse Assistants — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $23K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $25K. Nurse Assistants see a median salary of $27K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $28K.

UCLA Asian Women Called 'Whores;' Possible Hate Crime Investigation Results
UCLA police were considering hate crime allegations after someone posted a hateful, racist and sexist message outside an on-campus office shared by the Vietnamese Student Union and the Pacific Islanders Student Association, sources and officials told the Weekly.
Vietnamese Student Union external vice president Uyen Hoang says fellow members believe the vandalism happened between 8 p.m. Monday and 8 a.m. Tuesday because the group had people around the office except during that time.
The printed message, posted on a bulletin board, reads:
asian women R Honkie white-boy worshipping Whores.
An image of an obscene hand gesture accompanied the enlightened statement. That is according to the UCLA Daily Bruin, which broke the story. Hoang confirmed the main facts of the situation, adding:
Alexandra Wallace / YouTube
What happened is that a racist and sexist slur was printed and posted on our bulletin board outside our office that we share with the Pacific Islanders Student Association in Kerckhoff Hall.
He said Vietnamese Student Union members took down the sign about 10:30 a.m. yesterday.
UCLA police spokeswoman Nancy Greenstein told the Weekly someone phoned in a preliminary report but that she was expecting a formal complaint before an investigation would begin in earnest:
We take reports of any hate situations very seriously.
Does UCLA have an ethnic-sensitivity problem?
According to school statistics, Asians make up the biggest ethnic group on campus, comprising 34 percent of the undergrad population last year.
Earlier this year an apartment shared by a Latina and Asian UCLA students was vandalized with graffiti that included the message, ""dirty Meximelt bitches."
In early 2011 then-UCLA student Alexandra Wallace famously unleashed a YouTube rant with racist undertones that decried "Asians in the library."
The Vietnamese Student Union is organizing an "awareness event" outside Kerckhoff Hall Thursday at noon.

1868 Seated Dollar, PR67 Ultra Cameo1868 $1 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. According to the Breen Proof Encyclopedia, two different obverse dies were paired with the same reverse,a reuse from the 1867 proof Seated dollars, to strike the 1868 proofs. Breen describes this reverse as "spine joins arrowhead and inner angle of L." The present lot is a remarkable untoned silver-white 1868 Seated dollar certified PR67 Ultra Cameo by NGC. While we can see on the reverse of this 1868 a tiny tine of metal connecting the midshaft of arrow 2 with the head of arrow 3 (below) with a small unpolished area of the die forward of that, we see no evidence of anything connecting to the L of DOL. below. The obverse shows minute yet perceptible repunching of the date, most clearly on the base of the 1, the flat base of the lower flag, and the inside-lower loop of the last 8. The date tilts slightly downward from left to right and is entered rather high in the field. Breen notes that the double-punching "fades," presumable with die usage -- which leads us to the second point: This piece is clearly a quite-early strike, possibly one of the first, possibly the very first, to fall from the dies for the year, as the contrast between fields and devices is nothing short of spectacular.
Stunning Ice-White Surfaces
Stunning Ice-White Surfaces
As a previous Heritage cataloger wrote concerning this piece in its previous appearance with us, "... in all honesty we have never seen a coin with this degree of contrast. It most closely resembles the Ultra Cameo coins that the Mint produces today." This piece is tied for the finest graded with a PCGS Deep Cameo that we handled in 2006, a coin that brought $92,000 in our Denver Platinum Night (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5329. The ice-white surfaces are completely untoned, with pristine reflective fields and uniform, thick mint frost on all devices. There are simply no mentionable impairments on this stunning coin.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 2106, which brought $65,550.

Cute short hairstyle for women: the short pixie cut with headband!
This darling of a hairstyle deserves a smile and a pat on the back! Award-winning actress Michelle Williams' coppery locks are snipped short in a pixie haircut no more than a couple of inches long all around.
In the front, Michelle's hair is combed down from the crown with the hair combed, but not parted, to the right and to the left. Topped with black headband with metal appliqué, Michelle Williams looks positively angelic. We can't tell whether she is smiling more about her Golden Globe Award or the fact that she knows that she is looking at her best!
