Renjolle 'Quixie' 1936'
by Bootswerft Sammy Smits on 19 Jul 2013
1936 20er renjolle 'Quixie' Bootswerft Sammy Smits
Soeben am Wolfgangsee im Heimatrevier abgeliefert steht die ' Quixie ' eine 20er Rennjolle aus dem Jahre 1936 wieder im vollen Glanz da.
Nach ca. 1300 Std. arbeit wurde die 8.5m lange und 1.8m breite Schönheit dem eigner in St.Gilgen wieder ausgehändigt.
Mit neuem Schwertkasten, Kielschwein, Deck und Gaffelrigg ist es nur ein kleiner Teil, welche die Lady ihr für ihr Facelift erhalten hat. Dazu brauchte es auch ne mega Portion liebevolle Handwerkskunst.
Die Werft von Sammy Smits aus der Schweiz hat sich dieser Herausforderung sehr gerne angenommen, hat sie doch nun beinahe 30 Jahren Erfahrung im Umgang mit Oldtimern.
Dadurch bezeichnet sie sich als Spezialitätenwerft um den Schiffen wieder ins neue Leben zurück zu helfen.

Food prices fell for the third month in a row, dipping another 0.8 per cent in November, as vegetable prices kept falling with better weather.
Tomato and lettuce prices were down heavily, dropping 45 per cent and 21 per cent respectively.
"This is the third consecutive monthly fall in food prices, reflecting seasonally cheaper vegetables," prices manager Chris Pike said.
"Tomato, broccoli, and lettuce prices have been falling for the past couple of months, as they usually do at this time of year."
Tomatoes provided the most significant price fall in November (down 45 per cent from an average price of $8.29 a kilo in October, to $4.52 in November).
Prices were also lower for chicken pieces (down 11 per cent, influenced by more discounting than in October), broccoli (down 35 per cent), strawberries (down 30 per cent), and lettuce (down 21 per cent).
Prices were higher for apples, and chocolate blocks because there was less discounting than in October. Nectarines, and potatoes were also up.
In the year to November 2012, food prices dipped 0.6 per cent. Grocery food made the main downward contribution (down 3.6 per cent).
Meat, poultry, and fish prices also fell (down 1.7 per cent), as did non-alcoholic beverages (down 0.8 percent).
However, fruit and vegetable prices were still up almost 8 per cent.
Fresh milk (down 9.6 per cent), butter (down 26 per cent) and cheddar cheese (down 12 per cent) all had lower prices than a year earlier.
Prices also fell for chicken pieces (down 6.2 per cent), takeaway pizza (down 13 per cent), and lamb (down 15 per cent).

Black Cat Revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer Gallery
http://movieweb.com/felicity-jones-is-green-goblins-girlfriend-in-the-amazing-spider-man-2/Back in July, actress Felicity Jones hinted that she is playing Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. The Black Cat, as a villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She also revealed that this Black Cat is Harry Osborn's (Dane DeHaan) girlfriend. While this has never been confirmed, the trailer released this morning backs up the claim. Though, you'll have to look fast to catch your first glimpse of the character in action, as she stares down Goblin through the front of the OsCorp building. We have pulled out that trailer still for you to look at, along with more from the full teaser. Check out some of the blink-and-you'll miss moments from this anticipated release.

His Holiness was born on 4 November 1952 in the City of Mansoura. He graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Alexandria in 1975 and worked as a manager at a pharmaceutical factory in Damanhur. He received the fellowship in world health from England in 1985.
In the same year he received a bachelor degree in theology from the Theological College in Alexandria. He joined St. Bishoy' monastery in 1986 where he was tonsured a monk in 1988 with the name Theodor El-Anba Bishoy. He was ordained a priest in 1989 where he served in Damanhour from 1990 - 1997 with His Eminence Metropolitan Bakhomious of Al-Beheira. On 15 June 1997 he was ordained General Bishop and was assigned to serve as an Assistant Bishop to His Eminence Metropolitan Bakhomious.
It is noteworthy that His Holiness and His Grace Bishop Suriel of Melbourne were ordained general bishops together on the same date; also His Grace Bishop Suriel was one of the six bishops who nominated His Holiness for the papal elections. His Holiness is an author of 12 books on Christian Theology. On 4 November 2012 the Grace of God chose His Holiness through the Altar Ballot to be the 118th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark. This date coincided with His Holiness' 60th birthday. His Holiness was enthroned on 18 November 2012.

I've lived along many different coast lines, and since moving to the middle of the country fresh seafood is hard to find at a decent price. I'd never been a fan of Red Lobster, but in the Kansas City area this Red Lobster is the best place to find good affordable seafood. ...moreMy only complaint about Red Lobster is I wish they had actual seafood choices on their kid's menu. My daughter loves seafood, so I order the calamari for an appetizer. Then I order the ultimate feast with a side order of crab legs. And my daughter and I split the entree. The food here taste fresh and the service is always exceptional. Stay away from the 151st location (the food is inedible).view less

A substitute for piquillo peppers is a jar of roasted red peppers. Piquillo peppers are a type of chili pepper grown in the northern part of Spain.
Spicy foods contain a substance from chillies called capsaicin. Capsaicin stings taste buds, and milk binds with the hot capsaicin oils to disperse them. Cold water is not effective to mitigate spiciness because water-based liquids spread capsaicin and likely increase the burning sensation.
Slurpees, like so many other genius inventions, were created on accident. When Dairy Queen owner Omar Knedlik's soda fountain broke in the late 1950s, he improvised and put bottles of soda in the freezer to stay cold. He accidentally left them in a little too long, and they had frozen into a slushy consistency by the time his customers bought the sodas. To his surprise, they loved this new slushy soda and started requesting "those pops that were in a little bit longer."
The difference between coffee and latte is that coffee is ground coffee beans run through a filter with water, and a latte is made with unfiltered coffee and warm or steamed milk. Unfiltered, concentrated coffee is commonly known as espresso.
Membrane fractionation is the process by which lactose is removed from milk; the lactose is isolated within the milk and is then mechanically separated from the other properties of the milk. This process allows people who are not able to tolerate lactose to enjoy milk and the benefits that it provides.
Master Cleanse is a juice fast that involves drinking a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water, for a period of ten days, according to Natural News. The Master Cleanse detox diet was developed by Stanley Burroughs over 50 years ago, as a means to detoxify the human body of toxins acquired from food and the environment.
A bottle of champagne holds approximately 25 ounces. Champagne is traditionally measured in milliliters, and that is the unit that will be on the bottle's label.
Two-thirds of a cup of dry macaroni becomes 1 cup of macaroni after being cooked. Two-thirds of a cup of dry macaroni is enough pasta for a single 2-ounce serving.
Julia Child's classic coq au vin recipe recommends such accompaniments as parsley potatoes, rice or noodles, and vegetable sides that include peas or salad. The recipe also suggests serving the dish with French bread and a Burgundy wine -- preferably, the same wine the cook uses to braise the chicken.
Add 3/4 cup of bourbon for every 2 quarts of store-bought eggnog. Dark rum or brandy are good substitutes for bourbon. This is a general guideline. Add more or less, depending upon what taste is preferred.
Miche and baguette are terms for different shaped loaves of bread with a miche being a large, round loaf and a baguette being a long, thin loaf. Both are types of French bread.
Chicken parts take anywhere from 8 to 17 minutes to cook properly in a deep fryer with a consistent cooking temperature of between 350 and 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Whole chickens are deep-fried for 4 to 5 minutes per pound at temperatures between 325 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked chicken wings take from 30 to 45 minutes to cook. While the wings are typically cooked through at 30 minutes, when baked for a longer period, they develop a crunchy, crisp exterior. Chicken wings may be baked at a variety of temperatures ranging from 350 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Congolese food includes the cuisines of a number of different ethnic and tribal groups that all reside in the area, so it varies widely. Staple crops of the region include rice, taro, sweet potatoes, nuts and tomatoes. These are supplemented by wild foods, such as honey, fruits and mushrooms, and by meat that is acquired by hunting and from herd animals.
Cooks do not have to remove the gills from portobello mushrooms. Those who choose to remove the gills can use a spoon to scrape them off.
Potatoes grow sprouts to produce new potato plants. The sprouts develop when environmental conditions are conducive to potato growth. Warm temperatures, light and a moist environment are required for sprout development.
The average American eats 23 pounds of pizza a year, which equates to around 46 slices. Pizza has become the favorite food of America, and the most popular pizza topping is pepperoni.
Some examples of fermented foods are yogurt, kefir, cheese, soy sauce, whey, sauerkraut, Korean kimchi, pickled cucumbers and miso. One benefit of including fermented foods in the daily diet is improved digestion. Fermented foods increase the levels of beneficial bacteria in the bowels to alleviate poor digestive health.
As of 2014, eggs belong to the protein food group as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional guide, MyPlate. This guide replaced the long-standing food pyramid diagrams in June 2011.
There are approximately 2 1/2 cups of brown sugar in 1 pound. The exact amount of cups is dependent upon how packed the brown sugar is when measuring.
The average packaged, presliced slice of cheese weighs about 0.6 ounces. The dimensions, thickness and type of cheese impact the weight of each slice.
To end up with 1 cup of cooked long grain rice, 1/3 to 1/4 cup of dry rice is needed. To that, 2/3 to 1/2 cup of liquid is added.
There are approximately four to six carrots in a bunch with tops, depending on the length and diameter of the carrots. There are approximately six to eight topped carrots, which are sold by weight, in a 1-pound bag. A 2-pound bag contains 12 to 16 topped carrots.
A 1-pound package of brown sugar contains 2.5 cups. A 2-pound bag contains 4 cups, and a 4-pound bag contains 8 cups. Most sugar manufactures base cup measurements on firmly packed brown sugar.
One U.S. customary cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces, but not all coffee cups people use actually equal the amount in a standardized U.S. cup. Therefore, it is impossible to say that all cups equal 8 ounces, or any particular amount.

'Hawks open OVC vs. defending champs
On the surface, Jacksonville State might not look like a football team heavily favored to win its third straight Ohio Valley Conference title.
But, despite three narrow losses against a tough nonconference schedule, coach Jack Crowe believes this version of the Gamecocks will prove better than his previous two units.
"I have every confidence that we're going to be better than any of our two previous football teams that have played in this league," Crowe said.
The Gamecocks will try to start proving that tonight -- while at the same time Southeast Missouri State hopes it can make Crowe sing a different tune.
JSU and Southeast kick off their OVC schedules with a 6 p.m. game at Houck Stadium. Both squads are 0-3, and the Redhawks, like the Gamecocks, have faced a difficult nonconference schedule.
"There's no doubt they're an excellent football team," Southeast coach Tim Billings said. "They've played a really tough schedule, and they're probably the best 0-3 team in the nation.
"But we've played a really tough schedule, too."
While Southeast has been outscored 136-56 against Division I-AA power Southern Illinois, Division I-A Kent State and solid Division I-AA Missouri State -- the closest loss was 21 points to Kent State -- JSU has been outscored 93-81 with no defeat greater than seven points.
First came a 37-35 loss to Division I-AA power Furman, which scored a touchdown on the game's final play. Next was a somewhat surprising 21-18 loss to Division I-AA Tennessee-Chattanooga, which scored a touchdown with 10 seconds left.
And last Saturday, the Gamecocks rallied from a 21-point deficit only to fall short 35-28 against Division I-A Alabama-Birmingham.
It all adds up to JSU's first 0-3 start since 1996 -- and some mixed emotions from Crowe, who still believes the Gamecocks' tough early schedule will pay dividends.
"We took on a tougher [nonconference] schedule by choice, with the idea that whether we were up to it or not, we would get better by it," Crowe said. "I think we have played three really good football teams, three teams we could have beaten, and I think we played better in those three games than in any three previous [nonconference] games. But we still haven't proven we can win"
The Gamecocks have proven they can win in the OVC since joining the league in 2003, capturing consecutive titles with 7-1 conference records.
"I think we had an advantage of being unknown, but the history of our program has come through," said Crowe, noting that JSU was a consistent Division II power before moving up to Division I-AA in the early 1990s and struggling for a while. "We just had to ramp up to Division I-AA. Once we did that, it's the same program as in Division II."
Based on JSU's recent OVC success, and the return of several key players, the Gamecocks received 15 of 18 first-place votes in the league's preseason poll.
"There's a reason they're picked to win the conference," Billings said.
Perhaps the biggest reason is quarterback Maurice Mullins, who led the OVC in passing efficiency and completion percentage last year, although the Gamecocks were primarily a running team.
While JSU's offense still relies on the run, Mullins is playing a bigger role this year. He has completed 63.3 percent (38 of 60) for 492 yards, with four touchdowns and one interception. Mullins, also a dangerous runner, threw for a career-high 259 yards against Alabama-Birmingham.
"I think he's emerging as the player we thought he would be," Crowe said.
Picking up the slack left by the loss of Oscar Bonds, who completed his eligibility last year after rushing for nearly 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns, is Clay Green, a speedster who has 271 yards and is averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
Green also is one of the nation's most dangerous kickoff returners, averaging 30.5 yards, including a 96-yard touchdown against Furman.
Defensively, three key players entering the season have been lost to eligibility issues, and JSU has started somewhat slow, allowing more than 415 yards per game.
"They're a lot like SIU and Missouri State," Billings said. "They run the football well, they're tough and physical, and on defense they're really fast."
Billings hopes Southeast's struggling offense will get a lift from junior college transfer Kevin Ballatore, who will make his first start at quarterback tonight after impressing during the second half against Missouri State last Saturday.
"He gave us a spark and hopefully he can keep it up," Billings said.
For the fourth week in a row, Southeast figures to be a decided underdogs. To have a chance at upsetting a team they lost to 47-9 last year, Billings knows the Redhawks will have to cut down on mistakes that have plagued them so far.
"It's going to be a task. We'll really have to play well," Billings said. "We'll have to protect the ball, cut down on penalties and make some big plays. If we do that, we can play with them."

From: Dammeron Valley, UT
Region: Rocky Mountain
Topic: Deer Resistant, Cacti and Succulents, Herbs/Forbs, Shrubs
Title: Plants that are deer resistant for high desert climate in Utah
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We are building in a high desert climate in Dammeron Valley, Utah. We want plants that are both deer resistant and require little watering. Can you advise which plants (shrubs, flowers, cacti) that would be good to use?
This is a tough assignment you have given Mr. Smarty Plants—deer-resistant, high desert plants. Cactus are ideal, of course, and we do have other suggestions for shrubs/small trees and herbaceous plants. Be aware that, except for the cactus, the other plants listed may be browsed by deer when conditions are tough. They are deer-resistant, not deer-proof.
Ferocactus cylindraceus (California barrel cactus)
Echinocereus triglochidiatus (kingcup cactus)
Opuntia basilaris (beavertail pricklypear)
Opuntia phaeacantha (tulip pricklypear)
Opuntia polyacantha (plains pricklypear)
Larrea tridentata (creosote bush)
Lycium andersonii (water jacket) (and a photograph of L. andersonii)
Juniperus osteosperma (Utah juniper) (and photos of J. osteosperma)
Verbena bracteata (bigbract verbena)
Tetraneuris acaulis (stemless four-nerve daisy)
Penstemon palmeri (Palmer's penstemon)
Oenothera caespitosa (fragrant evening primrose)

On Nov. 6 two states, Washington and Colorado, legalized recreational marijuana usage, but is this a good idea?
Funny man and Fox News commentator Steven Crowder takes his crew to the streets of Ann Arbor, Mich., where marijuana was legalized years ago. Most of the people he interviewed thought it should be legal for one reason — that it is harmless. But this isn't necessarily so.

The Florida Senate passed a measure Wednesday designed to allow outside groups, including the providers of massive open online courses, to offer credit-bearing courses to Florida public college students. The measure has been amended significantly since it was first introduced by a Republican senator as a way to take on the accreditation system. The new version of the bill, which the Senate inserted into a digital education bill the House had sent the Senate earlier, substitutes the phrase "Florida Approved Courses" for the old phrase "Florida-accredited" courses and adds requirements that outside course providers must meet to qualify their courses for the new pool, including limitations on the subject areas that MOOCs can be used for.
Higher Education Quick Takes
Quick Takes
Pacific Lutheran University has become the latest to object to a possible union of non-tenure-track faculty members, saying that collective bargaining could infringe on the institution's religious mission, The News Tribune of Tacoma reported. Several other religious universities are currently making the same argument in various cases before the National Labor Relations Board. They cite court rulings limiting NLRB authority at religious institutions. Union organizers argue that adjuncts want to negotiate over pay and benefits, not religion.
In today's Academic Minute, John Ragosta of Hamilton College explores the historical roots of the National Day of Prayer. Learn more about the Academic Minute here.
Dining hall workers at Pomona College voted Tuesday, 57 to 26, to unionize and to be represented by Unite Here, The Los Angeles Times reported. The vote followed a three-year campaign, marked by numerous campus protests by students backing the workers.
Adjuncts and their supporters are rallying today around a Mayday Manifesto that calls for a minimum payment of $5,000 per course. "The majority of college teachers in the United States today — over a million individuals — are contingent. Most of them are so-called 'adjuncts.' They are paid poverty wages, earning an average of $2,700 per three-credit semester course. Most adjuncts make $10,000 to $20,000 a year, often working more than 40 hours per week. An estimated 80 percent lack any health or retirement benefits, and academic freedom is meaningless in the absence of any job security," says the manifesto, which was organized by Peter D.G. Brown, president of the faculty union at the State University of New York at New Paltz. The manifesto also calls for longer contracts, health insurance and other benefits for non-tenure-track faculty members.
Amid widespread reports of increased numbers of college students taking (and, in some cases, abusing) medication for attention-deficit disorders, some colleges are cracking down, The New York Times reported. These institutions are becoming more rigorous in their evaluations of students, and making it more difficult for students to obtain diagnoses that lead to drug prescriptions.
The American Educational Research Association issued a new report Tuesday recommending best practices and policies for schools and colleges to address bullying. Prevention of Bullying in Schools, Colleges and Universities includes 11 briefs addressing topics such as gender-related harassment, legal rights related to bullying, and school climate. The AERA task force that wrote the report was asked to identify the causes and consequences of bullying, highlight training opportunities for faculty and staff, evaluate the effectiveness of current bullying prevention programs, and asses the connections between legislation and current bullying research and interventions.
"Bullying — a form of harassment and violence — needs to be understood from a developmental, social, and educational perspective," the report reads. "The educational settings in which it occurs and where prevention and intervention are possible need to be studied and understood as potential contexts for positive change. Yet many administrators, teachers, and related personnel lack training to address bullying and do not know how to intervene to reduce it."
An open letter from 1,000 Australian academics to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, published today in newspapers across that country, calls for an end to cuts in spending at universities, The Australian reported. "Universities have made by far and away the largest saving contributions of any federal budget line item," the letter says. "We feel betrayed and taken for granted. Your government's cuts fundamentally jeopardize the future of our sector."
Coursera, the Silicon Valley-based provider of massive open online courses, is entering the teacher education market. The company is partnering with teachers colleges and other educational institutions to provide online professional development courses for K-12 teachers and parents. The company described the new effort as its first foray into early childhood and K-12 and its first partnerships with non-degree-bearing institutions, including art museums.
With this, the company may be eyeing a professional development market that includes about 3.7 million teachers in American plus millions more across the world. "We want to help K-12 students by helping their teachers," Coursera co-founder Andrew Ng said in a statement announcing the new program. "Many schools just don't have the resources to provide teachers and parents the training and support they need. By providing free online courses on how to teach, we hope to improve this."
A revenue plan was not immediately clear. The company has been committed to offering its courses for free but is charging some users who want bona fide certificates of completion. A company spokeswoman said in an e-mail that Coursera will be working with school districts to see how the courses could be used for required professional development training and she said teachers are also encouraged to talk to their administrators to seek approval.
Gordon Brown, the United Nations special envoy for global education said in the company statement that Coursera's plan is "an important and crucial innovation" to meet the "global challenge of training and supporting over 2 million more teachers" by the end of 2015.
Coursera's partners in the venture are University of Washington's college of education; University of Virginia's school of education; Johns Hopkins University's school of education; Match Education's Sposato Graduate School of Education; Peabody College of education and human development, Vanderbilt University; Relay Graduate School of Education; University of California at Irvine Extension; the American Museum of Natural History; The Commonwealth Education Trust; Exploratorium; The Museum of Modern Art; and New Teacher Center.
Cherian George, an associate professor of journalism at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, has lost his appeal of the decision to deny him tenure, Yahoo! Singapore reported. George, who researches press freedoms and state power in Singapore, was denied tenure for a second time in February despite rave reviews from international colleagues and current and former students. Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, a journalism professor at Cardiff University and an external reviewer of George's tenure application, told Inside Higher Ed that George's teaching and research records are "stellar… so much so that he could easily get a full professorship elsewhere in my estimation." Theodore L. Glasser, a professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University and George's dissertation adviser, wrote in a letter that George's "studies of journalism in Singapore set an agenda – for himself and for others – for research that extends far beyond Singapore."
"Finally, I want to be unambiguously clear about what I think is at stake here," Glasser's letter concludes. "Cherian George's career is on the line, and that's obviously very important to him and to his friends and colleagues. But just as important is NTU's reputation as a university of international standing. Many of us view this case as a measure of not only NTU's commitment to academic freedom but its commitment to apply its promotion and tenure standards fairly and equitably." Although George was promoted to associate professor in 2009, the promotion was de-coupled from the awarding of tenure.
George did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. A spokesman for NTU declined to comment on George's case, "as it is NTU's policy to keep all employment matters confidential."

A UW-Green Bay official facing questions about whether he retired and took his old position back so he could collect a salary on top of retirement benefits plans to step down in December, the school announced Friday.
The search for Tom Maki's replacement will be launched within the next two weeks, UWGB Chancellor Tom Harden said.
Maki, the school's vice chancellor for finance and business, has been under intense scrutiny for the past week after WISN talk radio show host Mark Belling reported Maki retired from his post in mid-March only to be re-hired by Harden a month later to the same position. The move allowed Maki to start collecting his $131,000 salary along with his retirement benefits, estimated to fall somewhere between $40,000 and $70,000 a year.
State law permits re-hiring recent retirees as long as they're out of a job for 30 days and they don't set up a deal before they leave that they'll be re-hired.
Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, chairman of the state Assembly's higher education committee, drew attention to the re-hire when he canceled a hearing on a bill that would allow UWGB and several other state schools to raise tuition until he got answers about Maki's situation.
The state Department of Employee Trust Funds then launched an investigation into whether Maki ever really left his job. Harden said the day the investigation began that Maki never cleared out his office, though that was because Harden's assistant filled the vice chancellor spot temporarily.
Harden has said he did everything properly. He wanted Maki back because Maki was extremely experienced and could help lead the school through deep cuts in state aid laid out in the state budget. He has acknowledged he didn't launch any search for other candidates or post the position, choices within his power.
The school issued a statement Friday saying Maki had decided to work through Dec. 16 or until his replacement is hired. He is paraphrased in the statement saying the decision was based on "personal considerations and his desire to best serve the University."
Harden defended the re-hiring in the statement, saying he followed policy and saved thousands of dollars in employee benefits, since they're already covered through their retirement plan.
Nass aide Mike Mikalsen said Nass plans to keep the tuition bill in limbo until UWGB complies with his request for documents related to Maki's retirement and re-hire.

RichRelevance®, the global leader in omnichannel personalization, today announced that it has secured $20 million in growth capital funding. The round of financing was led by Centerview Capital Technology with participation from existing investors Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ), Greylock Partners, Crosslink Capital and Shea Ventures. The financing will be used to expand RichRelevance's business internationally and to continue to create new shopping experiences across online, mobile and in store.
"There is only one response strategy to Amazon: omnichannel personalization," said David Selinger, CEO of RichRelevance. "Standing alongside our phenomenal client base, we are on the front lines of the customer experience every day. Our clients look to us to provide the data architecture and expertise they need to deliver memorable, meaningful and relevant experiences to their customers. Our success is intimately tied with our unique ability to create a new kind of shopping experience that spans the digital and physical worlds."
The announcement comes as RichRelevance continues to introduce new strategies and capabilities to turn data into a differentiated consumer experience. The company recently unveiled Relevance in Store, a strategic initiative that optimizes the in-store experience to drive product discovery, consideration and sales. This relentless omnichannel innovation yields continued dividends for RichRelevance's clients and its business through strategic client engagements that quickly grow over time:
- RichRelevance currently serves more than 175 market-leading companies in 35 countries, and recently added Costco, Barneys, and 3Suisses to its roster.
- Nine of RichRelevance's ten largest clients significantly deepened their relationship with RichRelevance in 2013 – with an average of 56% year-over-year account growth over this period.
- The company's three biggest accounts, on average, doubled their spend between 2012 and 2013.
RichRelevance currently ranks #1 for personalization in both the US and EMEA based on its proven, real-time infrastructure and award-winning product suite (San Francisco Business Times Tech & Innovation Award, May 2014). With 11 data centers worldwide, RichRelevance operates the 7th largest Hadoop instance in the world, handling 2/3 of the requests-per-second of Twitter with 100% uptime.
To accelerate Relevance in Store, RichRelevance has opened its cloud-based platform through its service-oriented architecture (SOA) to allow retailers to merge data sources and build custom applications based on a single view of the customer.
RichRelevance also continues to enhance its integrated product line with the merchandising, segmentation, targeting and advertising functionality needed to turn data into business results. The company recently launched RichRelevance Retail Audience Segments to allow advertisers to reach specific demographic groups (new parents, electronics enthusiasts, primary household shoppers) on multiple retail sites.
"RichRelevance is led by the team that pioneered online personalization for brands like Amazon, eBay and Paypal, and they are well poised to help retailers take full advantage of the promise of data-driven, digitized commerce," said Centerview Capital Partner, Sandhya Venkatachalam, who has joined RichRelevance's Board of Directors. "David and team combine an incredible vision of the power of data with a true understanding of the global retail market. We are very excited to partner with them as they continue to scale and build a truly extraordinary technology brand."

'Once Upon a Mattress' presents challenge for New Berlin students
They can't exactly lie down on the job in farcical production
New Berlin — With music and dancing in a production involving 70 students, the popular farce "Once Upon a Mattress" take to the stage at New Berlin West Middle/High School this week.
"Once Upon a Mattress" will open at 7 p.m. Thursday, continuing with shows at 7 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday and matinees at 10 a.m. Friday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Three years ago, Judith Smith, director of the New Berlin West Theatre Arts Program, would not have chosen the challenging play for the troupe — "because it's a farce and that's harder to do than a straight play, in my opinion," Smith explained.
Also at that point, 95 percent of the student cast had never been in a play, but with a more robust theater program, the students are more seasoned and ready for the challenge, she said.
The plot
The play, based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea," looks in on a fictional medieval kingdom ruled by the devious Queen Aggravain and the mute King Sextimus the Silent. Young couples in the realm are in a fix because no one is allowed to marry until Prince Dauntless the Drab finds a princess.
A crisis comes when the leading knight of the realm, Sir Harry, discovers that his girlfriend, Lady Larken, is with child. Setting out to find a princess himself, Sir Harry discovers Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, a brash and unrefined princess from the marshlands.
Despite some rough edges, she charms Dauntless, the knights and most of the kingdom. However, she also earns the utter loathing of the evil queen, who vows to stop her.
Colorful characterizations
Melissa Vanselow, who portrays the princess, describes her as "kind of quirky but lovable."
Portraying the princess as both quirky and charming calls for a little over-the-top acting, Melissa said, but she's enjoying it.
"The biggest challenge is bringing the character into the songs," she said, noting that instead of making the songs as pretty as she can she has to thrown in a bit of the opposite in keeping with her character.
As director, Smith said she saw potential in making the play broadly appealing.
"I thought this would be a fun show for everybody all around," Smith said.
Youngsters will like it because of the color and energetic dancing, while older audience members will like the music and will appreciate the humor, she said.
The leads also include Eli Krause as Dauntless; Aubrey Trecek as Queen Aggravaine; Jenna Szalewski as Lady Larken; Zachary Karolek as Sir Harry; Trevor Whittow as the king; Alex Zerman as the jester; Evan McKenzie as the minstrel; and Dmitry Becker as the wizard.
Anita Olson, owner of Anita's Dance Center in Muskego, is doing the choreography.
Tickets can be purchased with a credit card online or with cash at the PAC box office.
For links to online sales, visit www.nbexcellence.org/community/do_communitytheater.cfm, or call (262) 789-6406.
The 10 a.m. Jan. 31 matinee is for groups of 10 or more with special ticket prices.
WHAT: musical comedy "Once Upon a Mattress"
WHEN: 7 p.m. Jan. 30; 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Jan. 31; 7 p.m. Feb. 1; and 2 p.m. Feb. 2
WHERE: New Berlin West Middle/High School Performing Arts Center, 18695 W. Cleveland Ave.
COST: $12 general, $10 for seniors 60 and older; $7 for students, or $5 for children

PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing, please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.

A few months ago I spent a considerable amount of time developing the Fill Test that places data on the drive and then a set of real world tests are ran. This test has been a nightmare for several companies, but allows us to see how a drive performs when the drive has data on it, just like it would in your PC.
This was the OMG moment for the Agility 3 240GB. With the drive empty the Agility 3 kicks all kinds of ass. It's just super fast and delivers a steady flow of data to your system. When the Agility 3 240GB has data on the drive, the performance is reduced significantly.
To put this into perspective, let's look at the 50% fill test. In our testing we found that the Agility 3 240GB performed at nearly the same level as the Silicon Power V20 120GB drive when both were half full. The problem is that the Silicon Power V20 is a SandForce SF-1200 based drive, the same as the OCZ Technology Vertex 2.
What this means is, if you keep 120GB of data on your Agility 3 240GB then you might as well buy a SF-1200 controlled drive and pocket the savings. At this time the Agility 3 is the only SF-2281 controlled drive paired with async flash, so we can't tell if all async drives will have the same issue.
