Research and Markets has released the "Global and Chinese Mobile PC Casing (Enclosure) Industry Report, 2012-2013," report which looks at the trends in the industry with a particular focus on Apple.
According to the research firm (which sells these market intelligence reports for hard cash), Apple's unibody aluminum alloy enclosures have kicked off a trend inspiring competitors to follow suit and equip their own laptops with such cases.
But there's a problem, namely, "…it takes a long time and considerable capacity to produce Unibody aluminum alloy casing."
Furthermore, Research and Markets notes that "the capacity of Unibody aluminum alloy casing giants Foxconn and Catcher has been fully occupied by Apple."
According to the white-paper, the emergence of the Ultrabook also drove a change of materials for notebook casing. Interested parties can get the full scoop at this address.

Celebrity PunchOut
Our celebrity-saturated culture makes many of us irrationally hateful of the faces we see on our TV screens and magazine pages. Good thing there's Celebrity PunchOut to let off some of that steam.
oh, come on, why always Britney Spears is associated with all the worst that comes from tv screens, she's just good girl who wanted her American Dream to come true, why she is blamed for making it happened
Where are the guys we want to punch out? where is brad pitt? put him on this site.

In this course, you will learn to identify, evaluate, and capture business analytic opportunities that create value. Toward this end, you will learn basic analytic methods and analyze case studies on leading organizations that successfully deployed these techniques. In the first part of the course, we focus on how to use data to develop insights and predictive capabilities using machine learning, data mining and forecasting techniques. In the second part, we focus on the use of optimization to support decision-making in the presence of a large number of alternatives and business constraints. Finally, throughout the course, we explore the challenges that can arise in implementing analytical approaches within an organization.
The course emphasizes that business analytics is not a theoretical discipline: these techniques are only interesting and important to the extent that they can be used to provide real insights and improve the speed, reliability, and quality of decisions.
The concepts learned in this class should help you identify opportunities in which business analytics can be used to improve performance and support important decisions. It should make you alert to the ways that analytics can be used – and misused—within an organization.
We have three goals in this course. The first is to help you think critically about data and the analyses based on those data – whether conducted by you or someone else. The second is to enable you to identify opportunities for creating value using business analytics. The third is to help you estimate the value created using business analytics to address an opportunity.
Business analytics is an integral part of modern management – this course should provide you with the foundation you need to understand and apply these methods to drive value.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Elephant Cafe opens on Farwell with a menu of Thai, Lao dishes
The family behind EE-Sane Thai-Lao Cuisine on Farwell has opened a second restaurant: Elephant Cafe, at 1505 N. Farwell Ave.
This one looks dressier and offers a menu that's more concise than at EE-Sane. As for the food, "there's more use of ginger and galangal and traditional ingredients," Scott Nanthasane said.
His sister, Lany, is the cook; his father, Prasith, is the owner.
The menu is vegetarian-friendly, Scott Nanthasane said, with dishes such as tofu satay and a vegetable broth version of pho, traditionally a beef noodle soup.
Other dishes include papaya salad; a spicy seafood trio of head-on shrimp, squid and smelt; and pad mee lao, stir-fried rice noodles with a choice of meat or tofu. Most entrées are under $15.
Elephant Café — its logo is elephants with trunks lifted, a symbol of luck in Thailand and Laos, Nanthasane said — serves desserts, such as sweet sticky purple rice with ice cream and Thai custard with taro.
The cafe has beer and wine, and could be serving cocktails by summer.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday. A lunch menu is served 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday to Friday.
To contact: (414) 220-9322. Elephant Cafe is on Facebook; see the full menu there.

Lawrence Larry Vogltanz, 86
Lawrence "Larry" Vogltanz
of Bremerton
Jan. 3, 1927
to Aug. 31, 2013
Lawrence "Larry" Vogltanz, Sr. passed away peacefully of natural causes in the early morning of Aug. 31, while being attended by the loving staff at Ashley Gardens in Bremerton. Larry was 86 years old.
Larry was born on Jan. 3, 1927 in Geneva, Neb. He was the oldest child of the late James Vogltanz and Irene Wilson. He graduated from South Omaha High School in 1944 and entered pilot training with the Navy. The war ended before he completed the courses, so he went to work for Bell Telephone. He met Velma Jancik at a polka dance in Omaha and they married in 1947. Larry then reentered the Navy and spent the next 24 years serving as an electrician on surface ships in the Pacific fleet, including serving as the Senior Enlisted Advisor for the USS Bon Homme Richard during the Vietnam campaign, and retired as a Master Chief in 1971. After he retired from the Navy, he accepted a position with Kitsap County Public Works. He served in various capacities for 17 years, retiring as the waste water supervisor in 1988.
Larry and Velma spent their retirement years traveling the country enjoying polka dancing, camping, fishing, and visiting with family and friends. Larry was a decorated veteran, a successful leader, a loving husband, a caring father, but truly excelled at being a grandpa. Larry was very involved in his community. He was an active member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church and a third degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 1379. Larry was also a member of the Fleet Reserve Association, Branch 310; the Disabled American Veterans, Chapter WA 5; a life member of the American Legion, Post 149; a 30 year member of the Elks, Lodge 1181; a 40 year member of the Eagles, Aerie 192; and served on the executive board of the Retired Public Employees Council.
Larry was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Velma; and his sister, Thelma Gliwa formerly of Omaha, Neb. Larry is survived by his three sons, Larry, Jr. and his wife Stacy of Wasilla, Alaska, James of San Diego, Calif., Dale and his wife Jean of Bremerton, and his daughter, Barbara Nowak and her husband Doug of Springfield, Va. He is also survived by his 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
The funeral Mass will be held at Holy Trinity on Wednesday, Sept. 11 with viewing beginning at 9 a.m., Rosary at 10:30 a.m., and the Mass following at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to the Bremerton Chapter 5, Disabled American Veterans, 2315 Burwell, Bremerton, WA 98312.

Wu-Tang Clan Members Revisit 'Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers'
The Philosophy
Ghost: We came in to destroy niggas. First niggas on the line was Hit Squad because—that was them. No disrespect, I loved Hit Squad, but we wanted to destroy them. They had a big group, they had Das, K-Solo, Redman, Erick Sermon and Parrish, and those were the only ones that were saying shit we wanted to hear. So, who you got? You've got Genius, RZA, Ol' Dirty, Method Man, you've got Inspectah Deck, killas that just straight… It's a sport! Those are the guys you gotta go beat! You gotta go get 'em!
So they had "Headbanger," we came in with a little "Protect Ya Neck" right in back of it and shit. Not saying that "Protect Ya Neck" beat them niggas out because "Headbanger" was strong—they had lines in there. Redman was going crazy in there—clearing everything. But they're the ones that… I just remember watching "Headbanger" and then "Protect Ya Neck" came in with a bunch of dudes and from there… It wasn't like our focus was on them, even after that, because everyone started doing other shit. But for that first record, that's how I was sizing it up.
Deck: Wu was the biggest machine moving. Wu came through like the first Terminator. Everybody in the way terminated it. Once the eyes were on you, you were in the way. We went through that with the Hit Squad. I remember us sitting in the house and wondering, "Man, if we do make it. We gotta deal with the Hit Squad. Redman, Das EFX, Erick Sermon. Fuck!" These are my dudes. Part of my rapping comes from that. So how do you approach that? I remember we was there like, "Meth, you take Redman. You get K-Solo. You get Das EFX." We sat there really mapping it out and then Hit Squad broke up. Then we were thinking, "Damn, Brand Nubian are on the same tip that we are, teaching knowledge." Then Brand Nubian broke up. N.W.A reminded us of us and they broke up. Leaders Of The New School broke up.
Everybody was breaking up so RZA said it's the perfect time. Clan means family. We brought the idea of nine of us. That's my brother. I don't care. We got saying with you. That's how we do. That idea kind of spawned everything. People respected that. I think Wu-Tang had the utmost respect in the beginning especially because it was something new. You didn't know us. We had our faces covered on the first album until you bought it and opened it up.

Statement by Parliamentary Secretary Obhrai on Inauguration of New President of Madagascar
January 27, 2014 - The Honourable Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs and for International Human Rights, today issued the following statement:
"Canada acknowledges the inauguration of President Hery Rajaonarimampianina following the announcement of the final result of the Malagasy presidential election by the Special Electoral Court.
"The people of Madagascar are to be congratulated for peacefully exercising their democratic right to vote in the presidential and legislative elections on December 20, 2013. These elections and the inauguration of a new president are important steps in the re-establishment of constitutional order in Madagascar since the coup in 2009.
"Canada urges all political parties and security forces, as well as the general population, to exercise restraint as they await the results of the legislative elections and the nomination of a new prime minister. Canada is concerned following a blast in Antananarivo after the presidential inauguration, which killed a small child and injured more than 30 people. We strongly condemn such acts of violence.
"Canada looks to the President of Madagascar to form a new government that will foster national reconciliation, re-establish democratic credentials and the rule of law, and create the conditions for economic development in the country."

Rewarding Failure
Executive Pay Settlements Raise Eyebrows
By Father John Flynn, LC
ROME, NOV. 13, 2007 (Zenit) - Lavish wage and benefits packages for executives have been the target of increasing criticism in the last few years. Nevertheless, defenders of high rewards have argued that the impressive returns of many companies justify the money company leaders receive.
A recent example was Robert Reich's opinion article in the Sept. 14 edition of the Wall Street Journal. Chief executive officer (CEO) pay has risen astronomically, but so have investor returns, argued Reich, professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and former U.S. secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton.
Reich noted that recent data show that the typical CEO of a Fortune 500 company earns an average of $10.8 million. This is more than 364 times the pay of an average employee. Forty years ago, Reich added, top CEOs earned 20 to 30 times what average workers earned.
He contended, however, that the modern corporation depends a lot more nowadays on the abilities of its CEO, and that the high pay levels are generally worth it to investors. Reich opined that the chiefs of large companies these days are less like bureaucrats and more like Hollywood stars, who get a lucrative percentage of the profits.
The validity such arguments have come under severe strain, nevertheless, in the face of multimillion-dollar benefits, often termed golden parachutes, for failed executives.
Golden parachutes
Merrill Lynch, which along with other financial institutions has suffered heavily due to the current financial crisis in the mortgage market, announced that its chief executive, Stan O'Neal, will leave, with benefits totaling around $161.5 million, reported the Wall Street Journal on Oct. 30.
The retirement followed the announcement by the firm of a third-quarter net loss of $2.2 billion and a further $8.4 billion in write-offs due to risky mortgages and loans, reported the article.
Shortly afterward came the news of a write-down of up to $11 billion by Citigroup, followed by the announcement that its chairman and chief executive, Chuck Prince, would retire.
John Gapper, commenting on the news of the two retirements for the Financial Times on Nov. 8, noted that by retiring, instead of being fired, the two executives were allowed to receive multimillion-dollar parachutes. Gapper said that while there is no official news yet, Prince was expected to receive a retirement package of around $40 million.
By rewarding them in this way, in giving them shares they should not have been eligible to collect unless they had performed better, the firms damaged Wall Street, argued Gapper.
It also creates what he said is a "moral hazard," which occurs when it appears there are incentives for people to behave in ways that damage their own institutions or the financial system as a whole.
These two examples are far from being isolated, as the New York Times commented in an April 8 article looking at how failed corporate chiefs were rewarded.
In July last year, Hank McKinnell, Pfizer's chairman and chief executive, resigned with a package worth nearly $200 million. This came after the company lost more than $137 billion in market value during the six years he was in charge.
Then there was the case of Robert Nardelli, the former Home Depot chief executive who was officially dismissed on the first workday of 2007. He received a $210 million exit package for six years of work, during which time the company's stock price had sagged severely.
Give investors a say
An editorial published Oct. 16 by the Financial Times addressed the topic of CEO salaries. A new survey, the newspaper noted, found that a sizable majority of the U.S. CEOs and presidents surveyed think that chief executives get paid too much.
It is true, the editorial continued, that a good CEO can add billions to a company's value. At the same time, a more likely explanation of the over-inflated packages probably lies in the fact that executives of a company with dispersed shareholders have great power to set their own pay. More say over pay levels by investors would be a step forward, the Financial Times concluded.
Dissenting investors complained recently in Australia about high pay packages for the telecom company Telstra, reported the Australian newspaper on Nov. 7. Two-thirds of shareholders' votes at the company's annual general meeting just held in Sydney were against the pay arrangements for chief executive Sol Trujillo and other senior officials.
In spite of what the article termed "the biggest revolt in the three-year history of such votes in Australia," the resolution is not binding, and after the meeting, Telstra chairman Donald McGauchie declared the board would ignore ...

Ruben L. Reeves
- Filed Under
Chillicothe police have issued a warrant for a suspect in a Friday stabbing on East Second Street.
The warrant for Ruben L. Reeves, 37, is on a single count of felonious assault, a second-degree felony. He is thought to be in the Columbus area.
The charge stems from a 7:27 a.m. call to 188 E. Second St., where 29-year-old Joshua Thomas had been stabbed several times in the abdomen, department spokesman Bud Lytle said. Thomas was taken to Adena Medical Center and then to Grant Medical Center in Columbus for treatment of serious but not life-threatening ...

70% of Black smokers prefer to smoke menthol cigarettes, compared to 30% of White smokers.
"We're here today to say enough is enough," said Sharon Eubanks, the former government prosecutor who led the landmark 2005 lawsuit against tobacco companies. "The tobacco industry has been targeting the African American community for decades with deceptive ads and pushing menthol cigarettes that have an anesthetic quality. These cigarettes are harder to quit and make it easier for youth to take up smoking."
Convening in Leimert Park, a historic gathering place for Los Angeles' Black community, tobacco control activists showcased a selection of historical ads created by the tobacco industry to entice Blacks to smoke and highlighted data about disastrous health effects attributable to tobacco use.

Herpes-loaded stem cells help kill brain tumor in mice
Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital have found a potential solution for how to more effectively kill tumor cells using cancer-killing viruses.
The investigators report that trapping virus-loaded stem cells in a gel and applying them to tumors significantly improved survival in mice with glioblastoma multiforme, the most common brain tumor in human adults and also the most difficult to treat.
The work was led by Khalid Shah, MS, PhD, an HSCI Principal Faculty member. Shah heads the Molecular Neurotherapy and Imaging Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Cancer-killing or oncolytic viruses have been used in numerous phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for brain tumors but with limited success. In preclinical studies, oncolytic herpes simplex viruses seemed especially promising, as they naturally infect dividing brain cells.
However, the therapy hasn't translated as well for human patients. The problem previous researchers couldn't overcome was how to keep the herpes viruses at the tumor site long enough to work.
Shah and his team turned to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-a type of stem cell that gives rise to bone marrow tissue-which have been very attractive drug delivery vehicles because they trigger a minimal immune response and can be utilized to carry oncolytic viruses.
Shah and his team loaded the herpes virus into human MSCs and injected the cells into glioblastoma tumors developed in mice.
Using multiple imaging markers, it was possible to watch the virus as it passed from the stem cells to the first layer of brain tumor cells and subsequently into all of the tumor cells.
Using imaging proteins to watch in real time how the virus combated the cancer, Shah's team noticed that the gel kept the stem cells alive longer, which allowed the virus to replicate and kill any residual cancer cells that were not cut out during the debulking surgery. This translated into a higher survival rate for mice that received the gel-encapsulated stem cells.
The findings are published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The Amish Project
A 24-year-old student went 90 days without using a cell phone, email or social media. Yahoo News interviewed him about the experience:
I definitely just lost complete contact with people that normally would have been part of my life. I mean it's also an interesting metric for your life to see who some of your closest friends are, you know, and who's willing to take the time.
I find it an interesting thought experiment to contrast this idea with Clusterflock, which is the clearest example in my life of the relationship-building power of the internet and social technology. The internet made it possible to seek out an entirely new tribe of people – people with which I have so much in common and so much to talk about, but that I hadn't realized existed.
But then there are social networks like Facebook, which at their worst takes all of the people who are already part of your life – your co-workers, your school chums, your family – and hands them a level of intimacy about our lives that they haven't really earned and don't particularly deserve. I think that's why it's so interesting when these online relationships predicated on intimate knowledge but passive communication go bust when one party pulls out of Facebook – we're just learning a hard lesson about the differences between that kind of intimate knowledge and true friendship, which for the longest time I thought were one and the same.
A couple relatives recently found me on Google Plus (I use it primarily for the sad remnants of what was once Google Reader). I hadn't even acknowledged their existence before they were already commenting on every single piece of information attached to my name. This, I'm told, is keeping in touch.

For the past decade or so i've been corresponding through the mail occasionally with an artist (Guy Beining) that does not have a computer or phone, etc. A few months ago he tracked me down and sent me a letter to Rome. While it was a nice gesture & i've held on to the letter for months now, with the intention of writing him a letter back, yesterday I threw this letter in the garbage. Part of me respects this, and it was an easy thing to do in the states, to drop a letter in a mailbox, but i just decided there are two many other communication "to dos" piling up that are far easier to handle by email, and too many hurdles to writing letters the old-fashioned way, especially given how crappy the Italian postal system is. Sorry Guy.
Yesterday someone also asked me to fax something. I mean, please, can we just get rid of those things?

I'm notoriously awful at keeping in contact with anyone. I deleted my Facebook a while back and never miss it. I never use Google+ and on twitter I mostly just type random shit that I hope someone laughs at.
Going back to Facebook, I think one of the reasons I don't miss it is that Alicia is still there and she acts as a kind of filter for me. She is "friends" with most of the people I care about and will update me on the important stuff.
Not that many months ago Alicia said to me, hey, Maggie changed her Facebook status to engaged. Maggie and I grew up together. We spent summer vacations together. Her family was an extension of my family. Because we lost touch overtime, Alicia has only met her a handful of times. But here we were, at least a year since I'd last talked to Maggie, and Alicia was telling me she'd gotten engaged.
I wrote a quick email off to her, offering congratulations and we traded messages back and forth for a few weeks updating each other on our lives (it turns out she knew much about what was going on in mine because of Facebook).
In this case, I'm better in touch with an old friend thanks to Facebook.

I maintain my Facebook account for the sake of maybe half a dozen to a dozen people for whom Facebook seems to be their principal mode of communication. At least, the principal mode that I share. So I just check in and see what they have to say. I respond, and that's pretty much it.

The Affino CRM is very capable but there's a certain amount of effort required to set it up and get the most out of it, as there is with all CRMs. Unlike the majority of CRMs, Affino gives back much more than you put in, so each Account or Contact created, when coupled with a Customer Ladder, Conversion Events, Conversion Funnels, Message Campaigns, Social Integration and Landing Pages gives a massive return on your effort. We have created a guide here for those on Affino Support.
Affino provides great insight into all your engagement campaigns; instant notifications of key prospecting events; customer self-service and profile updates; social population of profiles and social invites, along with all the CRM stats and reports you need.
Below are the key steps you'll want to go through (in the right sequence) to set up the CRM. There are lots more elements to explore once you get going. There are also many more guides to help you with setting up the store, running message campaigns, setting up security and starting off with the Customer Ladder which will also be useful for you during this process.
Note also that you must update to the Affino 7.5.1 + release as it includes minor improvements, chief of which is combining many of the setup profiles into a single CRM Profile screen. You also will simply not see all the CRM screens until you update as we tightened up on the security aspects.
One of the great things you will notice in this release is that there is a dedicated CRM tab on the Control Navigation. Simply switch across to this and you'll immediately be able to search all your contacts, accounts, contracts, opportunities, tasks and notes. You will also have instant access to most of the key CRM tools.
Most of the CRM is secured under one of the three following rights: Community Manager, Sales and Contract. Community Manager for the Contact screens, Sales for the Opportunity and Account screens and Contract for the Contract and financial screens.
The starting point is to set up the Main Account. Simply go to Accounts and add the Account for your company (if you haven't done so already).
You will then need to select / add the key members of your team to the Account as these will be required when you're setting up
Affino 7.1 is now out, and it's a major release in every way. Whilst there are many aspects to this Affino release, the two key threads are improved scaling and greater engagement. Affino 7.1 has been significantly re-architected to scale with new search and analytics engines. With the release of Affino 7.1 we will also be migrating sites to our new super-scaling cloud.
We've rolled out big updates to many core Affino services including Messaging, Search, Analysis, Customer Ladder and Relationships. We've also introduced great features such as Store Credits for incentivising customers, and Design Panels for creating great popups.
The combined improvements in the Customer Ladder (engagement), Messaging and Analysis add up to a breakthrough for sales and marketing automation. The new Messaging Campaigns for bulk premium, personal and SMS messages, come with advanced targeting, filtering and triggering options and great analytics.
Site Search has been completely re-engineered around Solr which gives Affino greatly improved performance on searches, and allows for much smarter searching. Core management elements such as relating content have also seen big updates focused on making editorial teams much more productive.
Altogether there are nearly 400 great new updates in this release, many of which will be transformative when fully rolled out on existing Affino sites.
We have also fixed most of the identified low-level issues which arose from the Affino 7 launch, and which are inevitable with the introduction of such a significant new platform.
The Affino 7.1 release is a signifiant update, and unlike most Affino releases, this one takes some time to run as we're completely restructuring all the analytics data and refreshing the search indices. Given how intense this update is on the infrastructure, and that your site will be moved to the new hosting cloud, it is essential that you co-ordinate your update with your account manager.
Also in this release is a significant change to how most images are presented as you can now set the margins around the main images using Design Styles / CSS. It is essential to review your pages to ensure that the images are presented as expected, and note that you can now optimise the layout.
It is essential that
Our priority for Affino 7 has been to make the most productive platform available for running your business online. The integrated nature of Affino means you only have to manage your community, content, products, design, , promotions and analytics in one place. This is by far the most effective approach for managing an online business. What we have done with Affino 7 is to improve in every way how how you manage your online business.
Affino 7 has a New Control Centre, with the pages delivered by a New Page Generation Engine, and it runs on a New Cloud Architecture, all with the intent to deliver the best Social Commerce platform on the market today.
We've brought together great productivity ideas from the Affino user community and the Comrz team. It has meant re-styling, re-factoring and re-architecting Affino from the ground up to be more productive and easier to learn. Affino 7 also has a great new minimalist look, and now works great on tablets and mobile devices. With Affino 7 we've set a new baseline which means that every new element we roll out in Affino will be that much better.
Affino has a brand new Control Centre and Live Edit tools. It is now optimised whether you're using it on a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device, so you can use it anywhere any time. We've really raised the bar for every management interface in Affino. You fill find almost every task easier to do, with great new short-cuts, lookups, help items, searches, lists, entry forms, and navigation elements.
Affino has been brought right up to the leading edge with it's platform support. It now runs on the latest technology which means it is faster, more reliable and more scalable than ever before. It also means that the Comrz team will be able to accelerate the development of the Affino platform in the weeks and months ahead.
There's a great new Design Centre. The Design Objects are now completely managed within native browsers with no Flash requirement. All the Design Control screens have seen significant updates and Affino now has better than ever custom CSS support. We've also introduced some much needed enhancements such as padding on Design Cells and full Font styling, along with a breakthrough ability for you to be able to secure each and every Design Element
For any online business to succeed and remain relevant, you need to continuously review what is and isn't working. At a minimum you shuld do an annual review where you check your assumptions and apply your learnings for the year.
We're often asked to help work through this process. Below is a useful checklist when you're looking to update your online business.
The most important element is identifying your target market, i.e. who's your ideal client, the second level client, third level client etc.
You need to identify the tone of your site, i.e. if your site were a person who would they be: gender, age, look, way of speaking.
It's well worth checking out Stefan's excellent Brand Profile Creation piece for more details.
The most important barrier you have to overcome when setting up an onine business / website, is Trust. You have three key barriers that users have to overcome:
You have to put enough information online so that users who do not know you / your brand / your products are able to buy into them.
It's essential that you take your customers' perspective on this, don't assume they have any knowledge of who you are unless your company / brand is a household name already.
What are going to be your revenue drivers?
Rank them in order, e.g. subscriptions, service / product sales, ad revenues.
These define the priority in how they will be showcased / ordered.
What are the priorities you have with the website, e.g. customer experience, client sign-ups, revenues, usage growth
These determine a lot how you build your pages and what you showcase.
In our experience the simpler the proposition and presentation, the more likely business will take off online.
What are going to be the hooks that bring people back to your site regularly, e.g. blogs, news, stats, tools.
Do an analysis of what's driving the most traffic on your current site.
Without these hooks, people won't see what else you have to offer.
Affino 6.0.16 is the final significant Affino 6 release. It's the culmination of a greatly improved Affino user experience where almost every interface has been enhanced during the course of the last couple of years. We've focused on smoothing out the remaining rough edges in Affino 6 and it's now a whole level easier than it's ever been.
This release sees the introduction of Cookie Policies to meet the EU Privacy Directive. These are smart and geo-targeted so that only users from the relevant countries are presented with the policy dialogue. Additionally continued browsing is registered as implied consent so as to minimise any disruption to the user.
Affino ecommerce makes yet another big step forward. In this release we've significantly improved shopping baskets which are now editable, can be taken over and handed back to customers, or created from scratch and assigned to customers. The baskets also have greatly improved audit tracking and styling. There are also dozens of significant updates throughout the shopping experience which mean that buying is now more engaging than ever in Affino.
There are some major usability improvements in this release, in particular the new Guest Browsing Mode which allows you to instantly switch to the customer's point of view when managing the site. It is now much easier to navigate through the Control Centre with better browser tab naming and highlighted drill-down links throughout the Control Centre.
As with all Affino releases, we have upgraded the integrations with a number of 3rd parties to reflect their changed APIs. We also integrate with Broadbean for the first time for incoming job briefs. The integration updates with Facebook, LinkedIn, PayPal, Metacafe and Google Merchant Centre are critical if you integrate with any of them.
The improvements we have also made to: the checkout, publishing workflows, recruitment, funding platform, geo blocking / targeting, and user export make this an essential update if you're using any of those elements.
This is also going to be the best tested, most polished Affino release to-date, as we further evolve our quality assurance processes and build up our core project management team. We've added a whole new layer of QA in this release so that you can have the best possible
This is a well rounded Affino release in that there's something for all Affino users. Beginners will have a lot less questions, as we've answered hundreds more by moving settings into context, simplified options, provided more meaningful help and added the new in-context Help Guides and Features. Shoppers will find the new optimised checkout to be simple, clear and fast; and store managers will find it is now much easier to set up and manage stores. Recruiters will love the new recruitment engine and all the updates we've done to smooth the entire recruitment process.
Startups will find raising project finance has gotten a lot easier with all the updates we've made to the Funding Platform. Designers will love the improved styling on the Design Elements. Marketers have improved tools for recommendations, campaigns and lead generation and better analytics and reporting. Community Mangers have the great new Member Profile DE for better personalisation, improved notifications and user management. Finally, Developers have access to the great new content and authentication APIs.
We've spent a lot of time setting up new Affino instances over the past couple of months to test specific use cases such as the new Funding Platform and Recruitment engines. This has highlighted a number of issues with creating and running multiple sites on a single Affino instance and we've resolved all the issues we came across. It means it's now considerably easier to set up and run as many Affino sites as you want.
Affino's quality level has been raised considerably in this release. We now have a great new Business Analyst / Project Manager / QA Pro in Catherine Phillips, who will be a key member of the team driving forward Affino's excellence. She brings a lot of smarts, insight and attention to detail which will be reflected in Affino moving ahead. We've also developed a number of new regression tests and added more test instances to ensure we're delivering the best Affino releases we can.
Make sure that you check out the new Feature Guides and updated Help Guides, as well as the brilliant Affino Design Elements page which crams most of the Affino DEs into one very long screen.
Affino 6.0.15 Release - Ecommerce, Usability and Recruitment
This release is the culmination of seven months work on the new Optimised Affino Checkout. During the course of the last six months we have rolled out dozens of incremental improvements (and fixes) to the checkout process to drive higher conversion rates. The checkout experience has been taken to the next level with a complete revamp for simple, fast checkouts. We've also rolled out a new ecommerce engine, greatly simplified the ecommerce setup and made many nuanced enhancements to the whole ecommerce experience.
We continue our focus on Usability with in-context Help and Feature guides in each Control Centre. We have also greatly improved the process for setting up and running multiple Affino sites on a single Affino instance. Hundreds more elements have been made more intuitive than they were previously, and a lot of rough edges have been smoothed in this release.
Recruitment also sees a great leap forward with dozens of essential enhancements, including a great new Job Search Design Element, recommended jobs, refined CV handling and much more.
Affino's style has also subtly improved in this release. Many elements now look better than before, in particular Affino Design Elements, but also the font sizes and proportions, many notifications, most ecommerce and recruitment elements, member search, the funding platform and events.
This is a Major update which sees amends to everything from registering, logging in, adding to the basket, checking out, member's profiles, all Design Elements and much more. It is essential that you set aside time to review your site after the update. Ensure that you liaise with your Account Manager prior to the update and update during Comrz support hours to ensure a rapid response to any issues.
Note: you are strongly advised to become familiar with the new checkout on Public Staging prior to updating to this release. It is a complete reworking of how it works and it's essential that you are prepared for the changes.
It is essential that you run through the complete update process starting with the Affino Updater, followed by the System Update, Re-Initialise Site, Design Element Update, Skin Update and finally Clear Guest Cache; all of which are available on
Over the past year there have been almost 100,000 posts on the various Affino forums, which makes them by far the most active part of Comrz's support and of the Comrz website. There are lots of other ways users can find the answers to their questions faster and more effectively.
Below are the key ways you can answer your questions in the fastest way:
The Application Bar (which sits at the base of every one of your web pages when you're logged in as an Editor) is the most useful tool you have in your arsenal. A good 10% of questions we get involve things that can be found right on the page. The Content, Design and Text tools allow you to go right to the appropriate settings and profile screens for most elements on your live page.
The Live Design mode does the same for aspects of your page design. It means that you're rarely more than one click away from the settings or creating new content within the part of your website you're in. Get familiar with the Application Bar, click on the various links, see how you can instantly copy your article to create a new one, or tweak and regenerate your Skin (page design).
The Control Centre Super Navigator (the navigation menu on the left-hand side) can immediately take you to whatever management interface (and answer 20% of your questions), content or media item, or your personal favourites at a click. If you're not certain where to find how to export content, simply type 'export' on the Control tab and you'll see all the different types of export you can do from Affino.
Likewise, if you want to find a specific article, or media items, or section then simply go to the Content tab and type out the name, then hit the Search icon. You'll get a list of all the items with matching titles. Between these two options you can quickly track down pretty much anything. The My tab is also incredibly useful as it will show you your content stream and allow you to instantly go back to any of your recent content.
You can always turn on the in-line help when editing in the Control Centre. This will provide (usually pretty useful) information on what a specific field is for. It can be especially useful for aspects such as import and export
This is a significant stability release for users who are running Affino 6.0.4. It is recommended that you update to this version at the earliest opportunity. There are fixes across the board and a couple of great new features that didn't quite make it into the last release.
Owing to the timing of this release (i.e. just before the Christmas Break), we have excluded a number of the latest project related developments from it to ensure the smoothest Affino experience over the festive season and into 2011. These will be released in a further Affino release early in the New Year.
Upgrade Guidance
This is a minor release following on from the major Affino 6.0.4 release a couple of weeks ago. It is recommended that if you're on 6.0.4 that you update at the earliest opportunity since there are key fixes across the board in this release.
If you are having issues with your catalogue items, in particular with catalogue item attributes and inventory variations then most likely your custom catalogue item templates will need updating which is outside the scope of this update.
It is essential that you run through the complete update process starting with the Affino Updater, followed by the System Update, Re-Initialise Site, Design Element Update and Skin Update; all of which are available on the Settings > Update screen.
Key Enhancements
Predictive Site Search v2
Affino Site Search sees major improvements in its predictive search capabilities so that it now shows a great preview panel with the search results categorised, with thumbnails and teasers where relevant. Catalogue Items will also show prices, allowing users to instantly have the key information at their fingertips.
Online Forms v2
Online Forms were one of the first elements to be developed in Affino and they have hardly been touched in ten years. This release sees a major upgrade with the release of the new Online Form Design Element which means that Online Forms can now be included in any page either in the form of a Button Activated form or a full Inline form.
Online Forms are now all instant so that they are now subm...

Trial on Exmouth moped death in spring
Posted: January 24, 2013|
THE cases of two men charged with causing the death of a young city moped rider will be heard at Exeter Crown Court this spring.
Jack Taylor, from Exmouth, a 25-year-old Royal Marine with 42 Commando based at Bickleigh Barracks near Plymouth, and David Marriott, 24, from Exmouth, both have a number of charges against them in connection with the death of Steven Davidson-Hackett.
The 20-year-old, from Wonford, was riding his moped home along Ludwell Lane in June after a shift at the Tesco superstore, when he was in collision with a Ford Transit van and died from his injuries.
Marriott is charged with aiding Taylor in causing the death of Mr Davidson-Hackett.
At the latest hearing at Exeter Magistrates' Court on Friday, January 18, Taylor and Marriott were committed to appear at Exeter Crown Court on Friday, March 8.
At a previous hearing in November, Taylor pleaded not guilty to the charges of causing death by accident after unlawfully taking a van and, before it was recovered and owing to the driving of the vehicle, an accident occurred by which the death of Mr Davidson-Hackett was caused.
He also pleaded not guilty to the charge of using a motor vehicle without insurance and driving dangerously. A plea was not taken for the charge of driving with 111 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, exceeding the legal limit, and the charge of causing the death of Mr Davidson-Hackett by driving with no insurance, or failing to stop after an accident.
Police previously confirmed that the Transit van belonged to a fencing company and it is understood that Marriott was permitted to use it as a work vehicle.
Marriott previously pleaded not guilty to the charge of aiding Taylor in causing the death of Mr Davidson-Hackett, as he was driving a vehicle when there was no insurance cover in place.
No plea was entered for the following charges: Unlawfully taking a vehicle for the use of himself or another; aiding Jack Taylor to take a vehicle without the consent of the owner; permitting Jack Taylor to use a vehicle when there was no insurance in place; and aiding Jack Taylor to drive a vehicle when the amount of alcohol in Taylor's blood exceeded the prescribed limit.

Taking a page from his daughter's book, Billy Ray Cyrus has turned his hit 'Achy Breaky Heart' into the chorus for a hip-hop song. The video features a cameo from Larry King and stripper aliens wearing duct tape and shiny bits. Obviously.
A week before his death, Jimi Hendrix sat down for an interview Keith Altham in London, in which he discussed a fantasy of having an indoor swimming pool next to his bed and swimming to the breakfast table, among other things.
I think that headline says it all. Just like Jack Parow's new video has it all. And he made very sure that his position on hipsters is known, insinuating that they are urinating in bottles to make craft beer. It's off the charts – click through to watch it.

The 56th Grammy Awards reunited Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for a special performance of 'Queenie Eye' taken from McCartney's 2013 album, 'New'. The two Beatles members didn't miss a beat and had the entire crowd of the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on their feet by the end of the song.

10 Black Friday UGG Boots Pushup air max 1 sale uk Variations for a Stronger Body Slideshow
During 25 years of training, I seen pushups used in high school gym classes, the military, and dojos, often as a form of punishment. With good reason: Pushups are tough. While people at gyms spend lots of time on benches and other fancy equipment, pushups may be an even more effective way to get you stronger, faster. And they far more versatile than people think. Pushup variations can strengthen your abs, back, legs much every muscle in your body, really. Here are 10 versions of the 2013 Black Friday UGG Boots pushup you aren doing but should be, divided into four categories. Add them to Black Friday UGGs your workout and you see (and feel) powerful results.
Proper Black Friday UGGs 2013 Pushup TechniqueBefore you jump into variations of the classic pushup, be sure you get the original right. To maintain proper form, you must keep your back flat, abs tight, butt down, and shoulders rotated so that the crook of the elbow faces forward. This position ensures that your core is engaged and that your shoulders are in the position that the least likely to cause irritation. If your wrists bother you, perform the pushup on your knuckles, which keeps the wrists in a more neutral UGGs Black Friday position.
Identifying Common Pushup ProblemsThere are a few classic form failures that can indicate glaring areas of weakness. If the low back sags, it shows that your core is weak. If the shoulder blades flare out from the body in the top position of the pushup, the Serratus Anterior (muscles along the side of your rib cage just underneath your arms) need work. cheap nike air max Try doing Pushup Holds (which are just like a plank, only with your arms extended rather than resting on your elbows) for your core, and Mountain Climbers (same position as 2013 Black Friday UGGs a pushup hold, only you make it more challenging by bringing UGG Boots Black Fridayyour knees to your chest on alternating legs) for the Serratus Anterior.
