My Husband Directed The Fake Moon Landing Says Stanley Kubrick's Widow.

So here I am running the Apollo Program. I could either do an about-face and try to fake the entire landing. Or I could find three OTHER guys to be the astronauts.

Your hypothesis is that one or more moon landings actually did occur, but the personnel were expendable military men rather than the celebrity "astronauts." According to your hypothesis, then, one or more missions were carried out successfully; but any photos, videos, and interviews of the "astronauts" were a deception.
I agree that a sharp criminal investigator should consider your hypothesis along with others.
Skeptic the First
SImpler than that.
I am saying your supposed insurmountable barrier (the "Celebrity Astronaut" problem) could easily be overcome by a legitimate program. Or by a hoax, for that matter.
Oh, and not to mince words...they WERE expendable military men. Or, rather, the majority of the astronauts were test pilots. It was their occupation to go up in untested aircraft and a good third of them died doing it. We celebrate Chuck Yeager not because any idiot could have pressed a button and crossed the sound barrier in perfect safety and comfort, but because it was hard and he took the risk.
As a culture, we've celebrated the risk-takers. We are fascinated by mountain climbers, by those who explore the depths of the ocean (or who just going around sticking cameras in the faces of sharks). This was the astronauts; not just a bunch of guys who were famous for something they hadn't done yet -- but a bunch of guys who were willing to put their lives on the line to do something no-one had ever done before.
We were at that same time sending nice young men and women into a jungle to get shot at, and many of them ended up with their names in glossy magazines like LIFE -- right beside explicit photographs of they, or other people involved in the conflict of that region, dead or suffering horribly. It wasn't exactly hidden that people could DIE. And some were doing so in public view.
(And, you know, I'd vastly prefer to go out in a flash in a pad explosion, or even die slowly of suffocation in a marooned spacecraft, then bleed out into the muck of a rice paddy with a pungi-stick in my guts.)

Video: Florida State Students Chant "We Want Bama" After Destroying Miami
Oregon students want to play Alabama. Auburn fans want to play Alabama. And of course, Florida State fans want to play Alabama too. After Jameis Winston and the Seminoles absolutely dominated another highly-ranked team tonight — the Miami Hurricanes — the FSU student body made it abundantly clear which team they want to play in January: the Crimson Tide:
It's going to be a great finish to the regular season for college football fans — we can't wait to see who eventually makes the final BCS National Championship Game. One thing is clear: most people expect Alabama to make yet another appearance.

Ahhhh bread. Brilliant, brilliant bread.
I love bread.
I don't care if it's the polar opposite of current food trends, I still think hot buttery toast is a very special thing.
In this era of Nutribullets and spiralizers it's almost hard to believe that we once devoted so much of our kitchen worktops to bread making machines. They were giant cumbersome beasts and whilst of course they still exist, I couldn't tell you the last time I saw one in someone's kitchen.
In 1997, 19% of US households had a bread making machine according to Fleischmann's "Yeast Rising Times". (Yep, that sounds like my sort of publication). Or to put it another way, one in five American households were waking up happy.
I can't pinpoint when they became so undeniably popular in the UK, I'd say it was the late nineties to early noughties, but by 2011 they'd already fallen out of favour and supposedly 10 million unloved bread machines were sat gathering dust at the back of kitchen cupboards across Great Britain.
I don't remember the specific day my parents bought one, but it was around the turn of the millennium and I do remember waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread on many a school morning and feeling like I'd won the toast lottery. It was this "overnight" bread making function which really swayed a lot of people into buying them.
You don't need me to tell you how good freshly baked bread smells, but to smell it upon waking is the height of luxury. It was the most glorious alarm clock and I'd find myself jumping out of bed to get downstairs first just so I could have the honour of prising the strange little tin from the machine and slipping the oddly cuboid bread out onto the sideboard to give that satisfying hollow thud.
Breakfast was very much served.
Where the magic happened.
The machine came with recipe ideas in a little pamphlet and a whole wave of recipe books was created off the back of the bread maker craze. Where we're now inundated with recipe suggestions for kale and blueberry smoothies, it was once all about dinner rolls and adding a handful of grated cheese to wow your guests. It was a simpler time. I preferred it.
But despite all the amazing things the bread maker claimed to be able to do, we only ever used ours to make your bog standard white loaf. Why tamper with greatness, after all?
To be fair my mum also used to make bread rolls a lot, but that was pretty much the exact same process as making the loaf except you'd get the dough out the machine and form into rolls yourself before finishing in the oven.
She tried wholemeal bread a few times, but it was of course revolting in comparison to the fluffy white goodness that we'd become accustomed to.
The thing I remember most about the bread maker bread was how incredibly sweet it was. It tasted bad for you, in the best possible way. I'm sure you could put 100 types of white bread in front of me now and I'd be able to identify the sugary delightfulness that would have come from our bread maker.
Toasted with lots of Gold (another great 80s/90s memory – was it a margarine or a margarine alternative? I MISS IT) and lashings of Marmite you were more than set up for the day. And because you had to slice the bread yourself you could essentially have about nine slices worth under the guise of two. I was eventually banned from cutting the bread as I'd inevitably cut it too thick to even fit in the toaster and "we don't have time to put the grill on".
The shape of the loaf really was strange though: a tall vertical block of bread with a great big hole in the bottom where the paddle had once been. I think newer bread makers got around the paddle issue, but I remember our paddle often got stuck inside the bread and had to be prised out. Or chewed out, if you were feeling particularly savage.
We had many a failed loaf too. No rising, too much rising, burning, undercooking. It seems slightly ludicrous that it could ever go wrong given you were basically just emptying out a sachet into a machine and pressing a button…but hey, I guess measuring water can be hard sometimes.
Writing this has left me tempted to invest in a modern day bread making machine. 2016's machines even do things like make jam. And of course they all offer the ability to make gluten-free breads, natch.
Obviously you don't need a machine to make your own bread, but I adore the silliness of it. To have one now would feel simultaneously futuristic and retro. A robotic kitchen servant waking me up with a fresh loaf would be far more preferable than the shrieking of my iPhone alarm. It's like a Teasmade for carb-lovers.
Bread maker bread, you were delightful.

iSocket, a provider of programmatic direct and sales automation, announced that it has launched iSocket for Advertisers (iFA), an automated way to buy premium, guaranteed inventory that saves both buyers and sellers time and expense while reducing the chance of errors. In 2013, $14 billion was spent on directly sold digital media, and almost all of it was executed manually through spreadsheet proposals, paper contracts, IOs, emails, and faxes.
Now, buyers such as agencies, media planning platforms, and direct advertisers can browse iFA's publisher catalog and buy well-defined, reserved inventory directly from any of iSocket's publishers -- which include Microsoft, Condé Nast, Reuters, and Forbes -- all in a simple interface that can be integrated with other enterprise systems.
iSocket also recently announced $5 million in new funding led by Time Warner Investments, with participation by Condé Nast.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Ethiopia has agreed to an Egyptian call for the resumption of tripartite talks – also including Sudan – to discuss the construction of a multibillion-dollar hydroelectric dam being built by Addis Ababa on the upper reaches of the Nile, an Ethiopian diplomatic source said on Saturday.
"Ethiopia and Sudan have agreed in principle to hold a tripartite meeting this month," the source, requesting anonymity, told Anadolu Agency.
He added that the meeting will likely be held in Sudanese capital Khartoum.
The Egyptian government, however, says it has yet to receive an official response from Addis Ababa.
"But we expect the response to be positive," Egyptian Irrigation Minister Hossam Moghazi told AA by phone.
Earlier this month, Cairo said it has offered to host the tripartite talks in mid-July.
The invitation came after Egypt and Ethiopia agreed during late June's African summit in Malabo to resume talks on the controversial hydroelectric mega-dam Addis Ababa is building on the Nile, which Cairo fears will reduce its traditional share of river water.
"Cairo harbors no sensitivity towards the location of the meeting," Moghazi said.
In a joint statement during the summit, the two countries also agreed to resume meetings of a tripartite committee composed of officials from Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan.
The statement was issued a day after Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn on the sidelines of the 23rd African summit.
Set up in 2011, a tripartite technical committee was tasked with studying the impact of the multibillion-dollar Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the two downstream countries.
The panel's work, however, was suspended in January amid mounting tension between Cairo and Addis Ababa.
"Egypt is looking forward to reaching a friendly solution to the crisis," Moghazi said. "We have common ground with Ethiopia on which we could reach a settlement."
Ethiopia says the dam is necessary for its national development, insisting the project won't impact Egypt's traditional share of Nile water, which has long been set by a colonial-era water-sharing treaty that Addis Ababa has never recognized.
Tension has marred relations between Ethiopia and Egypt in recent years over the former's construction of the Nile dam, given the fact that the river represents Egypt's only source of water.
Egypt fears construction of the dam could potentially reduce its water supply and hurt local agriculture.

How DID Jamie Hince bag supermodel and style icon Kate Moss? The rocker gives out his top fashion tips
Kate Moss recently said husband Jamie Hince 'would go mental if she dressed like a wife', but does the supermodel pick out his wardrobe for him?
This seems unlikely judging from the rocker's latest interview in the September issue of Esquire magazine
Jamie, 43, has opened up about his passion for clothes and says he can't bear to wear trainers, and admits to feeling incredibly uncomfortable at fashion shows.
'The show thing I find awkward. Why am I sitting there in the front row, unless I'm with my wife' he reveals.
Dressing the part: Jamie Hince give out style tips in the September issue of Esquire magazine
Champagne lifestyle: Jamie may be married to a supermodel, but he says he came from humble beginnings and grew up wearing clothes knitted by his mother
'If I'm sitting on my own it taps into my uptight male side, where it's like, "What am I doing here? It's f***ing stupid."'
Jamie, who is the guitarist for indie rock band The Kills, is famous for his skinny jeans, tailored jackets and ankle boots.
He looked particularly dapper when he married Kate in July 2011 at St Peter's Church, Southrop in Gloucestershire in a stylish light blue YSL suit.
Kate's nine-year-old daughter Lila Grace, whose father is magazine publisher Jefferson Hack, acted as one of the couple's fifteen bridesmaids at the wedding, which was featured in Vogue magazine.
Wedded bliss: Jamie married supermodel Kate Moss last July
Sitting front row: The rocker, far left, Kate, photographer Mario Testino, second from right, and Claudia Schiffer (far right) at a Chanel catwalk show in 2009. He admits he finds fashion shows awkward
Ultimate icon: The Kills star admired the style of artist Lucian Freud, pictured with Kate in 2003 (left), who died last July. 'He always looked immaculate,' says Jamie
'I just know what I like,' he says of
his personal style. 'I love that real old English thing, like Richard E
Grant in Withnail and I. What a brilliant look – a high-waisted girl's
coat with pleats!'
The full interview with Jamie Hince appears in the September issue of Esquire
And he admits he's had his fair share of fashion disasters and grew up wearing jeans with elasticated waistbands and clothes knitted by his mother.
'I grew up in Africa, and no one cared what brand of jeans you wore,' he explains. 'She would knit things, too. It was just what people did.'
Jamie also reveals that his ultimate style icon is the late artist Lucian Freud, who was a close friend of his wife's.
'He always looked immaculate,' Jamie said. 'We went to see him when he was ill in bed, and even then, at the age of 80-odd, and in just his pyjamas, he still looked completely incredible.'
And while he does experiment with clothes, he draws the line at hoodies and trainers.
'Hoodies. Can't do that. Trainers. I can't wear trainers,' he insists.
'They look good on the shelf, but as soon as I put on a pair of trainers, I'm disgusted.'
Jamie and Kate, 38, recently moved into an £8million mansion in Highgate, North London after waiting over a year for renovations to be completed.
He recently showed off a new tattoo dedicated to his wife, which reads 'Kate above all' in German.
The full interview appears in the September issue of Esquire, on sale Thursday 2 August. Also available as a digital edition

In the real world, customer demands change and supply disruptions happen. Consumers and collaborative business partners have new expectations. Is your supply chain agile enough to respond?
As technology expands and the Internet of Things becomes increasingly prevalent, a digitized supply chain strategy is moving into the core of business operations. Today's high-tech companies must adapt – speed and accuracy are crucial, and collaboration is more important than ever. The right digital tools are the key to developing an extended, fast supply chain process. The evolution of the extended supply chain can be seen with McCormack and Kasper's study on statistical extended supply chains.
Ultimately, however, everything comes down to the efficient use of data in decision making and communication, improving overall business performance, and opening a whole new world of opportunities and competitive differentiation.
Supply chain management now extends further than ever before. Until recently, the task for supply chains was simple: Companies developed ideas, produced goods, and shipped them to distribution points, with cost efficiency as one of the most prevalent factors. As the supply chain evolves into extended supply chain management, however, companies must plan beyond these simple steps.
The Digitalist summarizes these new market conditions as collaborative, customer-centric, and individualized. New products need to hit markets much faster, and customers expect premium service and collaboration. Increasingly, the supply chain must meet rapidly changing consumer demands and respond accordingly. Management can now be conducted by analysis of incoming data or by exception, as discussed in a presentation by Petra Diessner. Resilience and responsiveness have clearly become differentiators in the cutthroat high-tech market. To keep up, high-tech companies must change their method of conducting business.
The extended supply chain refers to widening the scope of supply chain planning and execution, not only across internal organizations, but beyond a company's boundaries. High-tech companies must involve several tiers of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers. Some businesses also study the popularity and dynamics of a product directly, such as through mining social media data. To lead the competition, modern businesses must orchestrate the extended supply chain to keep up with consumer demands, as consumers now look for fully integrated service experiences.
There are several key factors to consider when updating your supply chain model. The first, access to information, is essential to managing digitized extended supply chains and unleashes benefits that can help your company grow beyond traditional models. All companies gather information, but companies that use this information effectively will excel where others do not.
World Market Forum discusses this in its report on extended supply chains. Digitizing the supply chain process can help manage even an extended, complex network and provide key access to critical information. The success of digitization relies on gathering accurate, pertinent information in a format that can be readily applied and used. While speed is important, it is not enough. The information itself must be applicable to the company's needs and it must provide data that allows companies to make more informed decisions about product growth, marketing, and supply chain distribution.
Real-time information access is a primary benefit of digitized supply chains. Market trends become instantly visible with real-time data and cloud-based analytics, as Marcus Schunter notes in this analysis. This insight allows companies to plan for new products and platform development as the market shifts. Eliminating the need to wait months to access and analyze data is critical for the high-speed technology market and also allows for assessment of critical situations. Resolving problems as they occur is more efficient than post-mortem analysis and allows companies to act rather than react. In extending your supply chain, look for technological advancements that allow you to gather data and analyze it in real time.
Consolidation of digital information is another major benefit to the digitized supply chain. Localized digital information can be gathered and analyzed to form executable action plans. Data becomes part of the planning and problem-solving cycle, improving overall communication and allowing for fuller, more meaningful problem-solving and planning. With digitization, speed is a factor, but the relevancy and application of information separates successful companies from the pack. For companies looking to extend their supply chain, this is a key element when searching analysis tools and platforms.

This is the second of a two-part series on resource volatility. As noted in the first post, globalization has created an environment of resource volatility. This post, with numbers 11 through 20 on the list, describes resources that are more stable than the previous 10. However, that doesn't mean there isn't turmoil, whether that's environmental concerns in Indonesia's palm oil production industry, or community organization for water rights in Chile. And, of course, whatever China does, the markets follow.
11. Natural Gas
According to the International Energy Agency, most natural gas comes from Russia, the United States, Canada, Qatar, and Iran, and the countries that use the most are the U.S., Russia, China, and Iran. There are sufficient reserves of natural gas, again according to the IEA's projections, that should last past the year 2040. Liquefied natural gas, which is produced mostly by Qatar, with Australia set to overtake Malaysia for second place, has had a flat market recently. There isn't the demand to keep up with increased production, so liquefied natural gas producers are looking for new markets, like cruise lines, to grow demand.
12. Tin
Most of the world's tin comes from China and Indonesia. The tin market tanked last year because of less demand and lots of tin, although it did rally in July and then improve earlier this year, mostly because Indonesia is exporting less and easing the flood of tin on the market.
13. Gold
It seems like everyone's crazy for gold right now. The precious metal is often perceived as a safer investment than other asset classes, and it's up 20% this year. Famed investor George Soros just bought $264 million worth of shares in Barrick Gold. The Toronto-based gold-mining company is the world's largest. Gold prices bumped down a bit while the market waited on the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes, but some are saying gold will soon recover – and then some.
14. Nickel
Russia, Canada, and New Caledonia are the largest producers of nickel. Most is used to make stainless steel. Like several other commodities we've examined, there is more production than demand of nickel at the moment, which has led to depressed prices. China is a big consumer of nickel for stainless steel, and the country is using less because of a slowing real estate market.
15. Beef
The global demand for beef is up, but production is down due to a variety of factors. One is Australia's decreased production due to drought conditions, which will mean 300,000 tons less beef for export this year. As Australia is a favored trading partner of the U.S., that will affect the American beef market. A recent study from Radobank predicts that China will increase live cattle imports for domestic processing, and Brazil will enter the U.S. market as well.
16. Wheat
It's a good year for wheat. North American wheat production is doing well, although levels are down from the previous year, with five percent less planted in the U.S. and six percent less in Canada. According to the most recent USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, total U.S. wheat supplies and use are up six percent and seven percent, respectively. Globally, the report projects a two percent increase in wheat supplies, and consumption will increase, too.
17. Iron Ore
Earlier this year, the iron ore market jumped, reportedly because of the Chinese government's moves to help along the country's economy. Things have settled down since then, with recent trading sending the per ton price downwards 22.9% from its high in April, which seems to be due to China's increased crude steel production and also the government's stopping speculative trading. They've also committed to transportation infrastructure projects, but there is still too much iron ore compared to demand.
18. Copper
As with iron ore, China's announcement that it would be investing in transportation infrastructure affected the price of copper recently. This is likely a welcome piece of news, as copper had been trading at the lowest levels since March 2009. Output and demand are both projected for small increases this year. Chile has the largest open pit mine and the largest global reserves of copper, but it's been facing difficulties in recent years including lack of water, which is essential for mining, and local community resistance.
19. Palm oil
Palm oil is a global big business to the tune of $50 billion, which is projected to increase to $88 billion by 2020. It's in almost everything these days because it's inexpensive, stable, and can be used for many applications. (It's not always listed on ingredient labels as palm oil). Most is produced in Malaysia. It's also a bête noire of environmentalists – it's linked to deforestation, the recent massive forest fires in Indonesia which were set, it's thought, to clear land for plantations, and lost habitat for orangutans and increased worries about their extinction.
20. Aluminum
Aluminum rose overall in 2015, but took a dive in the last few months of the year. Market-watchers are hoping that China's announcement that it will reduce aluminum output will help energize the market once oversupply is balanced. But one of the world's biggest producers, Alcoa, is reorganizing, which could be an indication that the company is preparing for an era of depressed prices, despite continued healthy demand.

Trust is the foundation of customer relationships. People who don't trust your business are not likely to become or remain customers.
The trust relationship has taken some big hits lately. Beloved brands like Chipotle and Toyota have seen customer trust ebb due to public perception of their roles in safety issues. Consumers continue to experience occasional data breaches from large brands.
Yet these traditional threats have short half-lives. The latest threat could last forever.
Most customers claim they want personalization across all the channels in which they interact with companies. Such personalization should create long-term loyalty by creating a new level of intimacy in the relationship.
But that intimacy comes at a high price. For personalization to work, brands need to gather unprecedented amounts of personal information about customers and continue to do so over the course of the relationship. Customers are already wary: 80% of consumers have updated their privacy settings recently, according to an article in VentureBeat.
Companies must get personalization right. If they do, customers are more likely to purchase again and less likely to switch to a competitor. Personalization is also an important step toward the holy grail of digital transformation: becoming a Live Business, capable of meeting customers with relevant and customized offers, products, and services in real time or in the moments of customers' choosing.
When done wrong, personalization can cause customers to feel that they've been deceived and that their privacy has been violated. It can also turn into an uncomfortable headline. When Target used its database of customer purchases to send coupons for diapers to the home of an expectant teen before her father knew about the pregnancy, its action backfired. The incident became the centerpiece of a New York Times story on Target's consumer intelligence gathering practices and privacy.
Customers can't define the line between helpful and creepy, but they know it when they see it.
Research conducted by RichRelevance in 2015 made something abundantly clear: what marketers think is cool may be seen as creepy by consumers. For example, facial-recognition technology that identifies age and gender to target advertisements on digital screens is considered creepy by 73% of people surveyed. Yet consumers were happy about scanning a product on their mobile device to see product reviews and recommendations for other items they might like, the survey revealed. Here's what else resonates as creepy or cool when it comes to digital engagement with consumers, courtesy of RichRelevance and Edelman Berland (now called Edelman).
There are no hard-and-fast rules about which personalization tactics are creepy and which are cool, but trust is particularly threatened in face-to-face interactions. Nobody minds much if Amazon sends product recommendations through a computer, but when salespeople approach customers like a long-lost friend based on information collected without the customer's knowledge or permission, the violation of trust feels much more personal and emotional. The stage is set for an angry, embarrassed customer to walk out the door, forever.
It doesn't help that the limits of trust shift constantly as social media tempts us to reveal more and more about ourselves and as companies' data collection techniques continue to improve. It's easy to cross the line from helpful to creepy or annoying (see Straddling the Line of Trust).
Online, customers are similarly choosy about personalization. For example, when online shoppers are simply looking at a product category, ads that matched their prior Web-browsing interests are ineffective, an MIT study reports. Yet after consumers have visited a review site to seek out information and are closer to a purchase, personalized content is more effective than generic ads.
Yet the limits of trust are definitely shifting toward more personalization, not less. Customers already enjoy frictionless personalized experiences with digital-native companies like Uber, and they are applying those heightened expectations to all companies. For example, 91% of customers want to pick up where they left off when they switch between channels, according to Aspect research. And personalization is helpful when you receive recommendations for products that you would like based on previous in-store or online purchases.
Customers also want their interactions to be live—or in the moment they choose. Fulfilling that need means that companies must become Live Businesses, capable of creating a technological infrastructure that allows real-time interactions and that allows the entire organization—its structure, people, and processes—to respond to customers in all the moments that matter.
Coordinating across channels and meeting customers in the right moments with personalized interactions will become critical as the digital economy matures and customer expectations rise. For instance, when customers air complaints about a brand on social media, 72% expect a response within an hour, according to consulting firm Bain & Company. Meanwhile, an Accenture survey found that nearly 60% of consumers want real-time promotions; 48% like online reminders to order items that they might have run out of; and 51% like the idea of a one-click checkout, where they can skip payment method or shipping forms because the retailer has saved their preferences. Those types of services build trust, showing that companies care enough to understand their customers and send offers or information that save them time, money, or both.
So while trust is difficult to earn, once you've earned it and figured out how to maintain it, you can have customers for life—as long as you respect the shifting boundaries.
"Do customers think the company is truly acting with their best interests at heart, or is it just trying to feed the quarterly earnings beast?" asks Donna Peeples, a customer experience expert and the former chief customer experience officer at AIG. "Customer data should be accurate and timely, the company should be transparent about how the data is being used, and it should give customers control over data collection."
Despite spending US$600 billion on online purchases, U.S. consumers are concerned with transaction privacy, the 2015 Consumer Trust Survey from CA Security Council reveals. These concerns will become acute as Live Businesses make personalization across channels a reality.
Here are some ways to improve trust while moving forward with omnichannel personalization.
Procter & Gamble's (P&G's) Mean Stinks campaign for Secret deodorant encourages girl-to-girl anti-bullying posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The pages let participants send apologies to those they have bullied; view videos; and share tips, tools, and challenges with their peers.
P&G has said that participation in Mean Stinks has helped drive market share increases for the core Secret brand as well as the specific line of deodorant promoted by the effort. Offering education without pushing products or services creates a sense that companies are putting customers' interests before their own, which is one of the bedrock elements of trust. Opting in to personalization seems less risky to customers if they perceive that companies have built up a reserve of value and trust.
"Companies that do personalization well demonstrate that they care, respect customers' time, know and understand their customers and their needs and interests," says Peeples. "It also reinforces that interactions are not merely transactions but opportunities to build a long-term relationship with that customer."
Creating a personalized omnichannel strategy that balances trust and business goals starts with knowing the customer. This can happen only when multiple aspects of your business are coordinated in a live fashion. But marketers today struggle to collect the kind of data that could drive more meaningful connections with customers. In an Infogroup survey of more than 500 marketers, only 21% said they are "very confident in the accuracy and completeness of their customer profiles." A little over half of respondents said they aren't collecting enough data overall.
Collecting enough of the right types of data requires more holistic data-collection techniques:
Once the necessary data is available, companies need the technology, processes, and people to make sensible use of it in an omnichannel personalization strategy. Only when a company is organized as a Live Business can that happen. Here's how your company can move toward being a Live Business:
Be live across channels. Having a consistent customer journey map across channels is core to omnichannel personalization. It requires integration across multiple systems and organizational silos to enable core capabilities, such as inventory visibility and purchase/pickup/return across channels. This integration also constitutes a major chunk of the transition to becoming a company that can act in the moments that matter most to customers. If all channels can sync in real time, customers can get what they want in the moment they want it.
Free the data scientists. Marketing rarely has full control over the omnichannel experience, but it is the undisputed leader in understanding customer behavior. While data science is part of that understanding, it has traditionally played a background role. Marketers need to bring the data scientists into efforts to sort through the different options for digitizing the omnichannel experience. The right data scientists understand not only how to use the tools but also how to apply the data to make accurate decisions and follow customers from channel to channel with personalized offers.
Walgreens is a leader in building the kind of technology base that can enable real-time, omnichannel personalization. Its digital transformation is 16 years in the making, according to Jason Fei, senior director of architecture for digital engineering at Walgreens. At the heart of its infrastructure is a Big Data engine that feeds many customer interaction and omnichannel processes, including customer segmentation. The company adds third-party systems in areas such as predictive analytics and marketing software. Walgreens has a cloud-first strategy for all new applications, such as its image-processing and print-ordering applications. Other elements of the drugstore chain's technology platform include:
This technology foundation has allowed Walgreens to push forward in personalization. For example, according to Fei the company uses sophisticated segmentation and personalization engines to drive outbound e-mail and text campaigns to customers based on their purchase history and profile. "We don't blast out messages to customers; we use our personalization recommendations to be relevant," says Fei.
The next phase of this strategy is to develop live inbound personalization tactics, such as recognizing customers when they come back to the Web site and tailoring their experience accordingly. These highly automated, self-learning systems improve over time, becoming more relevant at the moment a customer logs back in.
"When you search for a product, the Web site will take a good guess of what you might actually want. If you always print greeting cards at the same time of year, for example, the system would automatically deliver content around that," Fei explains. "Everyone comes to Walgreens with a mission, so we can be very targeted with our communications."
Walgreens' mobile app combines real-time personalization with convenience. You can scan a pill bottle to refill a prescription, access coupons, send photos from your phone to print in the store, track rewards, and find the exact location of a product on the shelf.
Walgreens also recently deployed a new integrated interactive voice-response system that includes a personalization engine that recognizes the individual, says Troy Mills, vice president of customer care at Walgreens. The system can then predict the most probable reason for the customer's call and quickly get them to the right individual for further help.
As Fei can attest, getting Walgreens' omnichannel and personalization infrastructure to this point has involved a lot of work, with much more to come. For companies just now embarking on this journey, especially midsize and large companies, getting started will mean overhauling an outdated and ineffective technology infrastructure where duplicate systems and processes for managing customer data, marketing programs, and transactions are common.
A bad internal user experience often transcends into a bad customer-facing experience, says Peeples. "We can't afford the distractions of the latest app or social 'shiny penny' without addressing the root causes of our systems' issues."
The boundaries of trust are a moving target. Sales tactics that used to be acceptable decades ago, such as the door-to-door salesperson, are unwelcome today to most homeowners. And consumers' expectations are unpredictable. At the dawn of social media, many people were anxious about their photos unexpectedly showing up online. Now our identities are tagged and our posts and photos distributed and commented on regularly.
But while consumers are getting more comfortable with online technology and its trade-offs, they won't put up with personalization efforts that make use of their data without their knowledge or permission. That data has value, and customers want to decide for themselves when it's worth giving it away. Marketers need to strike the right balance between personalization and a healthy respect for the unique needs and concerns of individuals. D!
In the runup to the U.S. presidential election, newsrooms are working at a fever pitch. But if we slow down a minute to take a closer look at modern-day news organizations, we might ask ourselves: Can they really provide accurate, unbiased information on current events at Twitter speed?
News and the art of gathering it has evolved exponentially in the last few years. How the news is consumed is also light years away from where it was a decade ago. The explosive growth of the Internet and mobile devices has anyone and everyone broadcasting their opinions. The former broadcast news landscape has shattered into millions of different sources, platforms, and feeds, each using curated content models that cater to the reader, allowing them to pick and choose their sources.
With the expanding market of content platforms and multichannel news sources has come a myriad of perspectives. Does having this choice of who we listen to – or don't listen to – make us unintentionally biased? This question is incredibly important to consider when we as a society come together to make informed decisions that impact everyone's future.
Today's major news organizations are balancing two realities. One is civic responsibility for reliable, responsible journalism. The other is profitability that mandates speedy content for readers on the go. This has forced news providers to become data-driven machines – seamlessly reacting across browsers, mobile screens, and social feeds 24×7. The imperative for speed has trumped traditional ways of reporting news. Data algorithms now drive content. Data-driven research and statistics have become an important source to supplement the day's news. Third-party data tools are being used.
But this new focus on Big Data is also a curse. A petabyte of unprocessed, unstructured data is almost as useful as having no data at all. That's why better tools to manage Big Data and stronger data algorithms are needed to create content that can benefit today's readers. This is an important initiative for SAP, and we're providing technology that is already impacting the way news is prepared and consumed for important current events, such as the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
As the exclusive sponsor of Reuters' Polling Explorer, SAP is working with Reuters to provide journalists and consumers the latest polling data, stories about the election, and more. Real-time data is fueling Reuters with the tools needed to execute news with accuracy, speed, and integrity. The new polling explorer increased their readers' engagement from 240K visits for all of 2012 election cycle to 6.2M just in the first four months since launch in November. The Reuters election app uses the new data system to match users with the candidate who best fits with their own political leanings. And Reuters can also use software to inform polling data and other data sets into data visualizations that provide facts and stats in a dynamic, interactive manner.
By providing technology platforms that are easy to use and scalable for any sized business, technology providers can give news providers across the world a trove of insights that impact their readers in real time, especially during momentous, breaking news cycles.

Great book about typical kids getting into typical kid trouble or fun. This book was written in the 50s, so there might be a couple of things in the book children today don't understand, but you could easily use those moments to teach children about how things were when this book was new. Overall, though, it ages very well.

3 Comments
Pricing will top out at $117,000 Fully Equipped.
I know of someone who has the 2011 version X6 M Fully Equipped and it topped out @ $113,000 with the 21″ black rims.
Fully Equipped = Every option available to be installed factory and dealer.
Indeed Lupica G. I surely do not speak for BMW. I am sharing my comments based on my experience with BMW and how they go about their potential mark-ups do to cosmetic trimming updates, etc… Keep in mind the changes they've made and if my quote for the 2011 holds true (Wink – Wink), BMW will not go less and it will not be equal to $113,000 Fully Equipped.
BMW love its customers but not that much.

Kathie Lee Gifford
She Weathered the Storm of Her Husband's Betrayal with a Steely Resolve
Yet for all the hurt and humiliating late-night punch lines, Gifford came through the crisis with the same kind of poise that had impelled her to turn the sweatshop scandal into a crusade for labor reform. "In all the years I've known her, I've never seen her lose a battle," says Regis Philbin of his cohost. "It always makes her stronger and smarter." This time the mother of Cody, 7, and Cassidy, 4, has shown a determination to stand by her man. "She believes in her husband and in her children," says her longtime agent and friend, Sam Haskell.
Throughout the ordeal, Gifford never let her fans see her crumble, continuing to tape Live with Regis and Kathie Lee in the studio each morning as usual. "There were days when I'm sure that she'd rather have been almost anywhere else," says Philbin. "But every day we were on the air, she delivered." That professionalism may, in the end, win over some of her longtime critics. "I think there was a lot of backlash against Kathie Lee because people thought her life was so perfect," says ABC newswoman Barbara Walters, a friend to both Giffords. "And I think people respect and admire the way she's handled this."

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/03/14 -- Department of Justice Canada
The Government is delivering on its commitment to protect Canadians from not criminally responsible (NCR) accused persons who have been found to pose a higher risk of committing violence if released. Since Bill C-14, the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act, was reinstated on November 25, 2013, it was passed in the House of Commons and is currently before the Senate.
Bill C-14 would ensure that public safety comes first in the decision-making process with respect to accused persons found NCR or unfit to stand trial on account of mental disorder. The proposed legislation would also enhance the safety of victims and promote greater victim involvement. The Bill addresses concerns raised by victims and their families as well as the provinces and territories.
The legislation would create a new designation process to protect the public from NCR accused persons who are found by the court to pose a higher risk of committing acts of violence. Families of some victims have applauded the Government's action to reduce the risk of repeat violent actions by proposing to create the high-risk designation and ensuring that victims are better informed about the status of the NCR accused. Upon being designated by a court as high-risk, an NCR accused would be held in custody in a hospital and would not be released by a review board until the high-risk designation was revoked by a court.
Quick Facts
-- Other consequences of being designated as a high-risk NCR accused would include a possible extension by the review board of the period between reviews (up to three years); unescorted passes could not be granted to such individuals, and escorted passes could only be granted in narrow circumstances and subject to sufficient safeguards to protect public safety. -- The legislation would enhance the safety of victims by ensuring that they are specifically considered when decisions are being made about mentally disordered accused persons; ensuring they are notified when such an accused is discharged and where they intend to reside (if the victim wishes to know); and allowing for non-communications orders between the accused and the victim. -- The proposed reforms would not affect access to treatment for any mentally disordered accused person.
"The safety and well-being of all Canadians is of paramount importance to our Government. The Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act currently being studied in the Senate would put public safety first, protect Canadians from NCR accused designated as high-risk, and enhance the rights of victims. Through the creation of a new high-risk designation process, the Bill would ensure that NCR accused who meet the higher risk threshold are no longer a threat to their victims or communities across our country."
-Peter MacKay, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
"Our Government is committed to ensuring that victims have a greater voice in our justice system. This Government has said it would take action to protect Canadians. This legislation is another step in fulfilling that promise by making the safety of Canadians paramount while ensuring that mentally disordered accused persons have access to treatment."
-Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Update: 1:40pm EST – ZDNet has official yet vague word from Facebook:
Earlier this morning, we encountered issues within our network that resulted in a short period of degraded site experience for some visitors. No user data was at risk and the matter is now resolved for the majority of users. We're monitoring the situation to ensure that users continue to have the fast and reliable experience they've come to expect from Facebook… We are investigating potential foul play at this time.
Update: 12:53pm EST – Fox Business is reporting that Facebook has confirmed attacks on its site. No official statement published on FB blog or press release yet.
Many people and bloggers have noticed that Facebook has been slow today. Live Journal was also down. This was all happening around the same time Twitter went down due to Denial of Service attacks.
There's no concrete reason yet, but one guess is increased traffic to those sites due to Twitter being down. Another possibility is an attack on those sites as well, but that is just speculation at this point.
Keep staying tuned.
