Business News
Karl and Klaus Schwitzke of Schwitzke & Partner
02 Oct. 2012
SCHWITZKE & PARTNER JOIN FORCES WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES DÜSSELDORFDüsseldorf-based design and architecture firm Schwitzke & Partner has started a cooperation with the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences' architecture department. The students of the Master's course in Interior Architecture can expect a series of lectures and a competition, with the three best projects winning prize money of € 3,000.
Starting from the winter term 2012/13, the university wants to clearly strengthen its retail sector within the Interior Design area. Leading experts involved in the fields of brand management, marketing, store design and visual merchandising will take part in the lecture series. Next to Schwitzke & Partner, which develop international store concepts for clients like Esprit, Ludwig Beck or Douglas, confirmed guest lecturers include Norbert Steinke (CEO Hallhuber), Edgar Rosenberg (owner Retail Brand Services) and Elke Freudenberg (CEO vm2).
As one of the top three architectural firms in Germany, Schwitzke & Partner is a major sponsor, partner and expert for Prof. Dierck van den Hovel, dean of the University's architecture department. The company is going to organize, plan and supervise the competition. At the start of the semester, students will receive a project briefing, after which they must create a shop concept under real conditions, whilst taking into account the economically important conditions. The student, who can convince the managers Klaus and Karl Schwitzke with their idea to the visionary Point of Sale at end of the semester, will receive a prize of €1500. The second and third places will also be awarded €1000 and €500 respectively.
Karl Schwitzke spoke about the weight of the co-operation: "We would like to excite newcomers and interior design students to the working field of retail and store design. The need for competent professionals in this sector is huge. And as architects with years of experience, we know which skills are especially important for beginners."
This current collaboration is therefore, only the start of a long-term project between the architects and Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [NovaLode] Fabricators and Storage
Just my 2 cents' worth – I agree with the points raised by the rest of the community about the storage and fabricator space issues. I understand the unlimited fab storage wasn't WAI and it had to go, but at the same time, even without it, I've kept running into storage issues with my credit storage tab maxed. As it is, with no ability to expand my storage further without paying real cash, the contract items being unstackable and the prefabricates having fairly low stack limits, the game is borderline unplayable as an F2P player. TBH, I've actually considered getting an extra stash tab and some carry cap boosts both as a QoL upgrade and to support an indie dev, but the recent changes irked me enough, that I've just decided to spend that cash on Guild Wars 2 after I've learned it was 50% off.
Turns out it's a great game, so thanks, Litmus, I guess.
Edit: as far as constructive ideas, maybe consider making the offending items more stackable (I'm thinking at least 5 finished, 25 prefab?), change the fab limits to something like 3+2 per license level unlocked, up to 15 and allow players to buy extra storage at incrementally increasing prices (you could set the point where incremental pricing starts to take effect pretty early too, especially if you lower the initial price on it. This way, newer players would have more space while vets would still be encouraged to buy the token tabs)? Also, with the fabricator limits, keeping items unclaimed prevents the players from fabricating, meaning it's not a viable strategy whether you add timeouts or not, might as well drop them. It'd still nerf mass production and disable rampant fabricator squirrelling while offering a credit sink. It might disincentivize purchase of token storage tabs somewhat, but how far the incentive loss goes depends mostly on how you balance incremental cost increases on credit tabs and tbh, I don't think those were your biggest moneymaker in the first place – if reducing their desirability attracts more players, you're still going to come out ahead, I bet.

Blog: Rain rain go away....
In this unseasonably wet spring weather we are having, pity the poor primary teacher who has to keep their class in again at playtime…
Send them out into the playground regardless, and there's bound to be some parental 'feedback' on wet socks and sudden colds.
Keep them in, and there's the problem of what to do with them… breaktimes being when most teachers will seize the opportunity to grab a cup of tea, clear away and set out the next activity, and generally take a deep breath while they refocus and recharge for the next lesson.
In these situations, do we regard the teacher as having an absolute responsibility to dispense with their usual breaktime routine and organise an activity to keep the class productively occupied and/or amused? Or do we approve of what increasing numbers of parents are reporting to be the case: that the teacher is simply switching on the television and putting their charges in front of a DVD instead?
Whilst some are understanding of the practice in certain circumstances, many are less so, and feel that it is becoming less of a rarity and more of a general practice. There are certainly parents who strictly monitor or even forbid television watching at home on weekdays, and who are horrified to discover that their children's educators have lower standards.
Is this a reasonable means of class management within the school day, sparing the teachers from having to work throughout their own scheduled breaks? Or should they regard their working day as running from first school bell to last, adapting to the needs of the children and circumstances as is required?
Do we send our children to school to watch television under any circumstances? What did they do when this was not an option in the past?
The practice is creeping into end-of-term scenarios as well, with the last few days of term frequently occupying the teachers with packing up rather than teaching, and watching a film often being presented on these occasions also as a special treat. But a treat for whom? Is it more for the teachers' benefit than for the children's?
Are parents not entitled to expect that their little ones are being taught something up to the last bell of the last school day?

I don't f*ck with commuters, because after all, they are doing it right (no matter what they ride, at least they're on a bike). I do, however, enjoy sticking it to cocky freds.
I hate separationists and elitists, whether it a "roadie" or "bike punk". Just ride your bike and nod at others doing the same. It's bike commute day for f&*k's sake.

Chances are he was only trying to pass you because you were in his way. If he tries to pass you, maybe it's because you were already going slower than him. All that sprinting away does is show your insecurities. Then again, posting about how you hate to let anyone richer than you pass you does the same thing. As long as you got out of his way, he probably doesn't care.
It's amazing that you can glean so much knowledge about another cyclist's abilities, finances and rides based on these brief interactions.
i don't see roadies on my commute.
sometimes i see them in the park, or on the GWB.
sometimes they're spinning in a low gear.
i assume if they were to sprint or get a really pushin spin going, they'd smoke me in a second. sprinting 30mph on a fix is about my top range; i'm guessing it's not too damn hard to hit that and top it with ease on a road bike.
what's with all the roadie hate lately? i know a few people with road bikes. they're nice people. they drink with us, and gasp! several of them have fixed gears and beat me in alleycats. can't we just drop the stereotypes and for once, maybe, speak from experience?
this is funny.
i don't like to ride close to people like that so i would let them sprint ahead and then be happy i don't have to maneuver around them when they do slow down.
i want them to ride faster than me or ride slower than me, but i don't want them close to me unless i have ridden with them and know how they ride.
like the other day, i was cruising along at a nice comfy pace and some guy on a fixed gear sneaks up on my left, didn't say a word. i didn't know he was there. if i swerved left to avoid a pothole or something my rear wheel woulda clipped his front wheel and he woulda gone down. so i saw him said what's up and he didn't say ****, just started pedaling faster like we were racing. i laughed and let him go...
those "fred's" probably view you the same way.

I don't overtake people who pass me, i just catch up and match their pace.
Just yesterday, I passed a fixed gear rider. But I was on my fixed gear bike. And then a guy on a fixed gear bike passed me. But then I caught up to him. Then I rode to get some free coffee for Bike to Work Week. Then I went to work. Thrilling story, right?

Nah I pass most other cyclists on my way to work for two reasons. 1) They all seem to be middle aged women on old 50s 3-speed city bikes who are riding to work at a light jogging pace and 2) I'm always running late and riding at panic-speed so I still have a job when I get there. haha
That said, my much heavier geared Surly is a much faster bike. My starting gear on it is about the same as the gearing on my fixed but, after that, I just click through a couple and am soon passing cars, bikes, whatever, at a speed that would leave my legs a blur on my fixed bike. On top of that, it has ferocious brakes so I don't have to ride more slowly in traffic in anticipation of a potential accident, don't have to trail further behind cars, don't have to slow way before I see where I need to stop. It's not as "smooth" as how I ride fixed but, lord, it's faster.
I don't know why either. Your going slower than thier pace, your in thier way, once they pass you , you sprint ahead of them to get in their way again? Lame....Originally Posted by andre nickatina

False. I'm guessing most people on fixed gears started their cycling career on road bikes...i did.
I like to beat up on every roadie that passes me on my way to work, it makes me feel good! I'm far tougher than even the roadiest roadie!
some times i pass them, sometimes they pass me, and sometimes we all stop acting like idiots and paceline each other.
Not me. I started on a single speed. With a coaster brake, and a banana seat... and TRAINING WHEELS!Originally Posted by Zurich
Some roadie drafted off me for an entire spin class, yesterday.
You'd think he'd be strong enough to drop me with those expensive shorts on.
What a poser.
Snap, you win.Originally Posted by mattface
There are a ton of poseurs out there...both fixed and roadies... My fav: the guy with a sick Cervelo in a full CSC kit on the lakeshore. I enjoy trashing him on my roadie, my fixed gear, and my single speed.

City cleans up sewer overflow
Saturday, July 23, 2011
The Jefferson City Wastewater Division repaired a sanitary sewer line and cleaned up an overflow Friday in the 1300 block of Moreau Drive — the block between Leslie Boulevard and Hough Park Road, north of the Moreau Heights Elementary School.
A city news release said the overflow was caused by a deteriorated sewer main, and resulted in a discharge to a drainage ditch.
It was reported about 11 a.m. Friday, and city crews had the overflow stopped and repaired by about 2 p.m.
Spokeswoman Michelle Gleba said the incident was reported to the Department of Natural Resources, but they had not sent anyone to the scene by late Friday afternoon.
The news release noted the deteriorated section is part of the city wastewater division's more than 320 miles of sanitary sewer pipe sewer service to more than 20,000 customers.
The city treats more than 9 million gallons of wastewater each day.

GAME PLAN: At the just opened Banyan Tree Maldives Madivaru, in the North Ari Atoll, indulgence comes in the form of six lavish, tented villas (hide the brochure if you plan on telling your friends you'll be camping) with spa-beds for in-room treatments, a personal wine cellar, and a free-form mollusk-like tub—you, on the half shell! Beyond the canopy flaps are some of the world's top-rated dive sites. "Madivaru is unique because you have the opportunity to see all the marine life that divers are dying to see [in one place]," says Zoona Maseem, the Banyan Tree's area marine recreation manager. A brief rundown of dive sites and their inhabitants: Rasdhoo for hammerheads, Maaya Thila for whitetip and gray reef sharks, and Gangehi Kandu for manta rays and whale sharks. Tell your tales over sunset drinks aboard the Madi, the resort's handsome two-masted yacht, or have a white-tablecloth dinner set up on a sandbank; when the incoming tide reaches your knees, you'll know it's time to head back.

It will be a huge dissapointed if he doesn't deliver good result in racing .. Jorge is more dangerous, so far he is smarter, fast learner from his fault, more consistant. Dani will try to be faster than before because of stoner. Ben,Dovi n Simo will give us surprises.

The main event of the festival was the local musicians, but participants also took part in games and activities, such as a watermelon seed spitting contest and sack racing.
There was even face painting for the little ones.
Organizers say the music festival is a great celebration of local musicians and their talents and next year they want to have an even bigger and better show.

Even while marketers have taken strongly to digital advertising, they haven't abandoned traditional media by any means—TV still takes the largest share of ad dollars in the US, and its percentage of the total isn't slipping. But with the measurability inherent in online ads, confidence in their efficacy is generally high.
In an October Adobe survey of marketers and consumers, US marketers even rated online ads better than TV ads—though just barely, with 51% saying that they were more effective. But consumers appeared stuck in the past, with about two-thirds claiming TV commercials were more effective.
Consumers also appear to like seeing ads in traditional media better than on newer digital devices. Asked about their preferred venue for ads, 45% said they liked seeing them in their favorite print magazine and 23% on their favorite TV show, compared to just 11% who chose favorite websites, 3% who chose social media and 2% who liked to see ads in digital magazines.
Marketers and the consumers they are trying to reach disagreed on the effectiveness of a wide variety of ad types, according to the survey. Though both groups thought the best ads were those created by professional marketers, nearly half of marketers said this, compared with just 36% of internet users. There was large disagreement about the effectiveness of paid search ads (touted by marketers, played down by web users) and outdoor advertising (the reverse). Internet users were also much more likely to say there were no good or effective ads—positions which marketers were extremely unlikely to hold, for obvious reasons.
So what did consumers like? Nearly three-quarters thought ads should "tell a unique story, not just try to sell," while about two-thirds said videos and user product reviews were good and that in-store experiences were more important than online ones.
The message for marketers may appear mixed, but it's not exactly news that consumers don't love to see advertising—or that they consider information from people they trust better than a hard sell.

President Obama wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour because he feels it will help the economy. If he is right that raising the minimum wage will provide the tide that raises all the economy's boats, then why not go for broke and raise it to $20 an hour?
Well, we all know that wouldn't work. The United States priced itself out of the world wage market decades ago. That's why manufacturing jobs left. Depending on how it is calculated, the average world wage is quite a bit lower than the U.S. minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. According to information provided by the Central Intelligence Agency Fact Book, the average worldwide minimum wage was $5.46 per hour five years ago by one calculation, and $4.39 by another.
It could be even less. Seven years ago, the Boston Globe determined the average world wage was $3.66 an hour. At that time, countries where people earned the average world wage included Mexico, Chile and Latvia. That wasn't too bad, though, considering that half the people in the world — that's half — made a whopping 81 cents an hour.
And you wonder why people will risk everything to come to the United States, where they can make an astonishing $7.25 an hour. If we raise that wage to $9 an hour, people will stampede to come here.
Another problem with raising the minimum wage is that it tends to push other wages up, as well. People who make more than the minimum wage believe their own wages should increase by at least as much as the minimum wage increased.
You can't blame people for wanting to make more money per hour. But what will happen to them if their hours get cut back by their employers, who may not have any other way of coming up with the money to meet that new wage mandate?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As Apple (AAPL - Get Report) continues its crash, there's something the media and Wall Street analysts should use to illustrate the story, but, for some reason, they choose not to.While I can understand the skittishness inherent in Amazon.com's (AMZN - Get Report) lofty multiple, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Jeff Bezos is in charge. And, in a world where Tim Cook leads Apple, that's about as good as it gets. In fact, it was about as good as it gets when Steve Jobs was alive. Bezos has always been and remains one of the greatest CEOs of our time.
Tim Cook is somewhere in between. In purgatory. In a land of uncertainty. Leading a company mired in the stuff and, unlike Jobs, Bezos and even Hastings, he has no idea how to handle it. Cook will not fly under the radar much longer. He's not Steve Ballmer. The chart pretty much supports my AAPL/AMZN thesis. Expect history to repeat itself in the coming weeks. AAPL data by YCharts

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X 10.6.8 includes the App Store. First, open > App Store, and then, purchase OS X Mountain Lion. Make a backup before upgrading, and check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
Unfortunately, OS X Mountain Lion is only available in the App Store

No, there is no alternative for Mountain Lion except via the App Store. Why do you need an alternative source?
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

Once you have downloaded Mountain Lion but before you click on the Install button, consider this:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.
