Four-year-old One Kings Lane, the home industry's leading flash-sale site, is on track to surpass $300 million in sales this year.
This story first appeared in the May 29, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
When chief executive officer Doug Mack joined the company in 2010, a year after the site launched in March 2009, he reframed its mission — instead of being the first to bring the flash-sale business model to all things home-related, he wanted to become the number-one commerce destination for the home. His goal is to reach more than $1 billion in revenue.
Today, the site has nearly eight million members and launches between 2,000 and 3,000 new products a day. In 2011, the site did $100 million in sales, and in 2012 this more than doubled to over $200 million, according to Mack. Mobile as a percentage of revenue is about two times what it was at this time last year, and 28 percent of overall sales and 33 percent of traffic come from a mobile device. From its inception to today, 80 percent of monthly revenues come from repeat shoppers.
"We focus solely in the home market, and what we're really all about is every single day bringing interesting, unique products along with daily design inspiration," Mack said of the variety of goods available on the site. They span new, vintage and designer products that consumers are unlikely to find anywhere else.
A focus on curation and presentation of these products is paramount, as is creating compelling content to give members inspiration and advice. He explained that the e-tailer welds the editorial expertise one might find in a shelter magazine with product that can be purchased directly, which he feels is special in home commerce.
"The home market is a place where consumers sometimes have anxiety about making design choices," Mack said. "What ends up happening is that people often go to mass-market chains because it's put together for them and you don't get anything particularly unique or personal. What we're innovating with is every single day we look to come up with themes that we put together for our customer."
For example, a sale one day might be centered around the color emerald and navy or earth tones, or it might be three ways to make over a guest bedroom.
As for which category is best-selling on the site, Mack maintains that there is none. There are four categories — furniture, area rugs, decorative accessories and textiles — that each comprise at least 10 percent of the business. Tabletop, kitchen items, art and lighting also perform well site-wide.
Cofounder Susan Feldman said when One King's Lane began, she and her team worked with manufacturers to obtain product, but in June 2010 added "Tastemaker Tag Sales," where higher-end designers would come to the site and either sell things they had collected or designed. This was a game changer for the company, which led to the creation of two additional categories: Destination sales, where Feldman scours the world shopping for one-of-a-kind items (she recently traveled to Peru with Nate Berkus, for example), launched in 2011, and "Vintage & Market Finds" last year.
"It's kind of the opposite of other retailers. It's not about key items, it's about the breadth and diversity of products that we offer that appeal to a very broad audience," said Mack, who previously cofounded and served as ceo of Adobe Scene7, a rich media e-commerce platform that powers Web sites for over 1,000 retailers, from Nike to Macy's. Adobe purchased Scene7 in 2007, and Mack was appointed vice president and general manager of digital imaging and dynamic media at Adobe, where he led Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Flash Media.
One Kings Lane is colocated between New York and California, with just shy of half of the 450 employees based in the office in Manhattan's TriBeCa, the center for the creative and merchandising teams. The San Francisco headquarters houses Internet operations, marketing, technology and customer service, and there is also a Beverly Hills office with 40 employees that focuses on vintage, designer and celebrity relationships.
The site has raised $117 million in Series A through D note funding from investors such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Greylock Partners, Tiger Global Management, Institutional Venture Partners, First Round Capital, TriplePoint Capital, Scripps Networks Interactive and angel investors Reid Hoffman and Marissa Mayer, ceo of Yahoo.

Easing Voting Restrictions for Ex-Felons in Virginia By Don Rush • Dec 19, 2014 creative commons RICHMOND, Va.

The changes include eliminating notarization, letters to the governor and other requirements. The application was reduced from 13 pages to one.

The English Novel in the Twentieth Century: 5 - John Fowles
Heptonstall, Geoffrey, Contemporary Review
John Fowles has spoken of his life in cities as a daily exile. Though he is no agrarian idealist, his, relation to the natural world is revealed in two long essays, 'The Tree and 'Islands', which should be read both for themselves and for their counterpoint to his fiction. A recurring theme in the novels is the contrast between town (usually London) and country (usually the West of England). This says much of the author's sense of place. It suggests also an approach to human nature and to society.
'Ordinary experience . . . is quintessentially "wild", in the sense my father disliked so much: unphilosophical, irrational, uncontrollable, incalculable', Fowles wrote in a deeply personal statement, the childhood memoir which begins 'The Tree'. There are wild characters and bizarre happenings in Fowles's fiction. But here he is talking of ordinary experience. His position may owe something to Freud, though the greater debt is to existentialism which Fowles encountered at the peak of its extraordinary post-war popularity.
A graduate in French at Oxford, Fowles taught at the University of Poitiers where he began to write the pensees which form his major essay, 'The Aristos'. Significantly, the work begins: 'Where are we? What is the situation? Has it a master?' Not a series of questions which can be answered without some empirical evidence. They are a novelist's questions.
'The Aristos' (1964) is not philosophy except in a casual sense. There is no thread of a speculative logic. There is no satisfying conclusion. Fowles is concerned with particularities, with the minutiae of experience. Subtitled 'A Self-Portrait in Ideas', 'The Aristos' is a personal statement, rather than a picture of the human condition. The thoughts do have a master in the way they are expressed. Fowles's supreme gift is his compelling narrative drive.
His debut novel, The Collector (1963), is interesting partly because of its relation to the English novel of its time. The heroine, Miranda, speaks derisively of Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, rejecting it as a celebration of the commonplace. Her own situation is strange, for she is the captive of an obsessive fantasist. Miranda considers her situation with a cool detachment which might win her the freedom she cannot live without. She recognises that Clegg, her captor, is a victim of commonplace thinking (he is very 'correct') which sours his genuine appreciation of beauty. He cannot think what to do with Miranda. To Clegg she is an ideal, almost a sacred object, like a work of art. He dare not reach out to her in any way. Nor can he see that his distant admiration is depriving her of living responses. Miranda is unable to provoke any reaction in him, not even the sexual violation she would ordinarily fear. And so, neglected, she dies before her captor's uncomprehending gaze.
There are two narratives, Miranda's diary and Clegg's self-justifying and pathetically inadequate account. The latter may owe something to Hannah Arendt's 'banality of evil' reportage of the Eichmann Trial which was concurrent with the drafting of Fowles's novel. It may be something of a parody, a dark one, of works like Room at the Top or Billy Liar which concern the ambitions of suburban clerks.
The Collector is written with considerable verve. The tone of the contrasting narrative voices is well caught. Though pastiche and parody weave through the work (the story as a whole being a variant on 'Beauty and the Beast'), Fowles retains his authority on the situation he has conjured.
When that authority finally collapses it feels almost a betrayal. The great weakness is the lack of a credible resolution. Clegg's decline after Miranda's death fails to convince. His sudden shift from fantasist capable of redemption to sociopathic killer is sensationalist. The logic of the narrative is that Miranda's death is also Clegg's. It is likely, also, that he would wish to reveal to the world his one unusual deed in so ordinary a life. …

posted at 8/16/2010 3:19 PM EDTI donated my gown and veil to Brides Against Breast Cancer. They take the gowns that are donated (some used, some new) and sell them at big sales around the country. The money raised goes towards breast cancer research (or was it support groups for them? I can't remember). Check out the website cicirose linked. I felt great knowing a bride could get a great dress at an affordable price and that I was helping such a great cause.

Re: Donate Gown
posted at 8/19/2010 10:55 AM EDTthere are lots of sites for pre-owned wedding dresses. if you really want to make someone's dream come true, you could post on there with a bargain price and wait for the right buyer.
My friend got her wedding dress through preownedweddingdresses.com she had her heart set on a Nicole Miller, but couldn't possibly afford a new one. She saw a pre-owned one there that she loved and she messaged back and forth with the owner and ended up getting the dress for less than it was listed for, because the owner could tell my friend was on a tight budget but this was her dream dress.

A man had to be tased after police say he led them on a chase down a busy Pitt County highway this afternoon.
Troopers spotted Mike Williams of Stokes driving down the wrong side of Brighton Boulevard in Greenville. They tried to stop him and that's when his pickup truck ran into the front of trooper's cruiser. They chased the man down Highway 43 and onto Highway 264. During the chase troopers say Williams used his turn signals along with way. They say the man got off onto Highway 11. That's when he stopped and a deputy sheriff tased him after they say he failed to comply with authorities.

In Jennifer Lopez news, she tried to make her break-up with Casper Smart a quiet, personal affair, but now a transsexual is claiming that Casper cheated on Jennifer with her. He is denying the claim saying he is looking into suing her for making such claims. All the while Jennifer just wanted him to move out quietly and be done with it. Typical choreographer. #WeJustMadeUpTheStereotype
Poor Tracy Morgan. He is still in critical condition after the tragic accident on Saturday. We do know that he has several broken bones and is responsive after surgery, so it looks like he'll recover. Hopefully this funny man will get better soon!
Is it wrong to be excited whenever someone gets a new bundle of joy in their family? Chrissy Teigen, swimsuit model, and John Legend, singer model, have welcomed Penny into their lives. Oh who is Penny? A french bulldog with three legs. ADORABLE.
Thank Goodness! Sandra Bullock was unharmed after a home invasion early Sunday morning. The burglar was caught and arrested. And Sandra has signed on to play herself in the movie adaptation of this dramatic story.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a severe psychological condition that ruins relationships because a narcissist is a self-absorbed individual who only sees things one way, which is their way. In the world of a narcissist there is no room for successful relationship attributes such as mutual consideration or give or take and as a result any relationship that a narcissist is involved in is a lopsided one that solely favors the narcissist. Being involved in a relationship with a narcissist can be a difficult one, mainly because a narcissist has an unrealistic and an inflated view of themselves and suffer from a decreased ability to identify with or recognize the needs or feelings of others, so in turn the partner of a narcissist suffers.
Do you feel that you are in a relationship with someone that suffers from the narcissistic personality disorder? Are you a narcissist yourself and would like an understanding of this personality order so that you can salvage your relationship? In his audiobook entitled Narcissism Decoded author Michael Wright explains in great detail how to identify and effectively deal with the Narcissistic Personality Disorder in your relationship. You will learn the following:

"Succinct exploration of the NPD disorder!"
I liked that the author clearly explains NPD accurately, and gives very helpful advice on when to get out and how to stay out.
I liked the passionate intensity of the narrator's performance.
I have a parent that suffers from NPD and I am now at the low-contact stage of our "relationship". Reading this book was very timely in that my NPD parent is pushing for "business as usual" which really means "abuse as usual". This book has helped me to hold onto my low-contact boundary. I will re-read it again when feeling manipulated.
I have read so many books on NPD. This one is one of the best.
"Dry Material"
Because of its nature, this material is rather a dry read. Narrator didn't help. But the material is informative, helpful and easy to comprehend, with good description of medical terms used.
"HORRIBLE narrator (Frank George). Info is good tho"
I would preface any recommendation to a friend by saying "Try to ignore the inappropriate pauses, accents, emphasis on words and other narrative errors in order to listen to the author's words and true meaning/intent. If I find another book that I really want to listen to that is narrated by Frank George, I doubt I will do it -- it's too annoying and frustrating. If only he had read the book in advance of just walking up to the microphone! Or if only the author, Michael Wright, had listened to the full narration before allowing this to be released!
Regarding the book and the message/info in the book, I think it's good, basic and informative -- a great way to learn about some of the fundamentals of narcissism.
ANYONE!!!! Ideally the author, as he would most likely know and understand where the emphasis should be in certain sentences and phrases. Frank George was HORRIBLE -- and I really think he either didn't "get" the subject or simply didn't take the time to prepare and rehearse in order to pause and emphasis in appropriate places/ways. REALLY a big distraction. I would cast myself WAY before him!

The creation of intelligent magical weapons is not an exact science and there are occasional failures, as such think of causing a little more stress to your players by "rewarding" them with an insane magical weapon
Agrophobic, refuses to come out of the scabbard without a strength check to draw it.
Haemaphobic: afraid of blood, fight at a penalty against any blooded creatures but really good against undead, elementals etc
Schizophrenic, not just one mind in your sword, lets have half a dozen minds in there, all different and bound to cause confusion
the possibilities are endless
From an episode of Justice League Unlimited:
The God of War creates a giant, unstoppable robot (golem, animated armor, etc.) as a weapon for one side in a civil war; his purpose is to prolong the war and create suffering and war among humanity.
Quote from Ares in that episode, which would go well with this idea: "That's all you mortals are good for! To fight and fight and fight until there is nothing left but charred land and blood and bones, and to end it all and then start again with the next generation!"
The Door
A nifty little encounter appropriate for any powerful sorcerer/magically adept monsters lair.
When the party have penetrated to an appropriatly impressive level/room they encounter The Door, this door is a vessel through which the Sorcerer/Monster can safely work against any intruders, the door is heavy duty iron bound studded oak wrought with craft skill and magic, set in the middle is a crystal orb, once the party get within a preset distance the orb flickers briefly as the door warns its "master" of the intruders, the master can then effectivly possess the door itself, this means that all movement the door is capable of (i.e. opening and closing) come under the control of the master, the master can also cast spells from the door as if he were there himself, all the while any damage that is inflicted in return merely damages the door, this will in effect ruin any of the parties chances of surprise, allow the master to assess the parties abilities while remaining safe and sound and finally will probably cause the party to waste some of their juicier items/spells on a chunk of wood and iron, and if the master happens to have a deadly spell or three it could also reduce the size of the party,
Of course if you wanted to be really nasty you could have the door open to admit one person and then slam shut on the second person (squish) whilst blasting away with every spell in the mastrs repetoir
When someone befriends an animal, s/he obtains the ability to unite their souls together and take on the form of that animal as well as its abilities. S/he also gain some properties of that animal even when they are no keener t transformed, such as resistence to cold or senses. If s/he really wants to s/he can half transforms taking on characteristics of the animal and their normal form
Magical Fiends: When a mage or wizard casts a spell and draws more energy than s/he needs Magical Fiends are drawn to that spot and they feed of the extra magic as long as they can. When someone's magic is being fed off of they can't cast spells as well and they feel weaker. The only way to remove a magicial fiend is for it to be drawn away by someone else's power or to go to the very spot you first cast the spell and kill them
The PCs discover a large white ball in the branches of a tree, or in a niche in a cave. Unless magically examined, or by a PC with a specialty in insects, it is a plain, smooth white ball. After a short time, it hatches and releases hundreds of spiders, cockroaches, some other nasty bug
Elven Light Horse - a lithe and small animal well suited to the forest home of the elves. It has semi-cloven hooves, a longer tail, like that common to unicorn illustrations, and always a snow white pelt. Lives inthe forest, able to stand on back legs to crop leaves from the lower branches of trees. Shy and easily frightened, but at peace when around elves.
Dwarven Mountain Pony - a small, and hardy animal well suited to living in the mountains and highlands. Able to subsist on grass and brush, with hard hooves, and nimble feet. The dwarves use them as pack animals, and to pull ore carts, and to drive bellows for their furnaces. Never ridden as dwarves like to keep both feet firmly on the ground. As stubborn and tough as the dwarves themselves. Also only about 12 hands tall (1 hand=4 inches)
The Orcish Mustang - a semi-wild horse tamed and domesticated by orcs to serve as their mounts. Large, strong bodied, and fearless as they live among orcs. On the other hand, bad tempered, with teeth problems, sometimes have hoof problems, and agressive. In lean times, or when an animal dies, the orcs suddenly have a dearth of meat, and hide to work with.
Orcs record their deeds through symbolic mutilation, scarring and tattoo. Perhaps creating the medium of skin as art, which humans followed later. Perhaps tattoos remind the elves of orcs and make them angry...
Orcish currency is derived from glass beads. The art of glassworking is well beyond them, but perhaps the orcs have something of value to the civilized races, such as animal pelts, and well made axes, and bows. The humans trade beads for the goods, and the orcs will trade the beads amongst themselves as a form of their own currency. Perhaps they value blood red beads above all others, or animistic orcs favor beads in the colors of their gods.
Inspired by Indian trade beads, some of which could be quite ornate and beautiful. Most North American Indian beads were made in Italy. Surprise!
A young girl with a dirty face and tattered dress stands near the town market offering to sell the PCs freshly cut flowers. They are only a single copper a piece, and smell nice. Perhaps the PCs will be generous with their wealth, or they will not. Great for paranoid parties.
A corpse lays at the side of the road, or path. The man has been robbed of everything but a few tattered pieces of clothing. It looks like the scavengers have been working on him for a few days. The smell is ghastly. What dangers lay ahead?
The PCs come across a wild thicket of luscious looking blackberries. They eat the berries and become drunken fools. Later they find out that the berries were part of a fae garden and were intended for fae wine. In payment for stealing the berries, the mischievious fae make life inconvenient for the PCs. Horses are untied, water skins are drained, spare clothing is drug into the water, etc.
A wand that can be used once a day to stop Time for thirty seconds.Enough time to take a weapon or a wizard's staff, dodge a fireball,get a head start whilst running away,ect.
The PCs are invited to play in lumberjack games. They must see how quickly they can cut down a tree, how quickly they can use a great saw to cut a wheel from an already dropped tree, and must stay on top of a floating log while a lumberjack tries to roll the log to make them fall in the water. The winner gets beer and pancakes
The Red Lipstick - almost blood dark, this lipstick changes to become the perfect shade of red for the woman, and only woman, wearing it. She will attract positive attention from men, and will be the subject of female envy, for who else has such perfectly red lips?
A Magical Hat that has only enough magic to stay on its wearers head, in spite of wind, falling, or even being turned upside down. The owner, never having to pick up his hat gains an extra swagger to his step, and a small boost to charisma.
A pair of ladies lace gloves, that once donned, give the wearer a quick, and very tidy manicure. Nails are properly trimmed, sanded, and come out with either 'French' (insert game name) style nails, or their nails colored in the manner desired by the wearer. Useful for removing hangnails, and other cosmetic problems
You realize a group of men is going right to you. The man in front has a hard determined look on his face, the two men behind follow him with some uneasiness. He stops before you, holding the handle of his sword in one hand, and slaps (choose person carefully) with leather gloves he carries in the other hand. "Rhadagald Thinvoice, I challenge You to a duel to dea..." Stopping abruptly, he realizes this is the wrong person.
Able to raise body heat by concentration to save themselves in winter. Even to the point of drying freezing wet clothes.

The New Curmudgeon
Winship, Thomas, Editor & Publisher
The New Curmudgeon
"I don't believe for a moment you can function as an intelligent citizen by simply relying on television."
Timothy Russert, senior vice president and Washington bureau chief of NBC News, let slip those naughty words at the Theodore H. White seminar in Cambridge last November, reminding us that the average American family spends close to eight hours a day watching television.
There is our challenge, print brethren. How do we grab away a fraction of those tv hours now that the huffing and puffing over how we covered the Gulf war is subsiding?
I have a few story ideas which just might help recapture the print press's traditional agenda-setting role. The answer lies in the stories on which we choose to concentrate. They may be obvious but all are especially urgent, continuous and most do not require overseas travel.
Most important, all do "move the canoe on down the river toward a more perfect democracy," as former Chicago Tribune editor James D. Squires wrote the other day.
Start covering the United Nations. Remember that organization which George Bush and James Baker maumaued so brilliantly into supporting all-out war in Iraq?
Until the Bush/Baker forces went to the U.N., guess how many U.S. journalists covered the U.N. on a full-time basis. Fewer than 10. The number holds, even weeks after the ceasefire. This out of a worldwide total of 250 reporters accredited to the U.N.
Only the New York Times, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Los Angeles Times and Knight-Ridder have full-time correspondents on the job there.
The Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor and all the rest of the large metros that could afford it rely upon stringers or their New York bureau's general-assignment reporters, unless, of course, a crisis is developing. The head count comes from Louis Foy, president of the United Nations Correspondents Association.
This skeletal staffing exists at a time when the U.N. could move onto a new plateau after its pivotal role in the Gulf.
It is a time, too, when most U.N. agencies, those devoted to assistance to development, children, poverty, environment, population and UNESCO, all have been somewhat jeopardized by the U.N.-backed Gulf war. Important peacekeeping work is going on in those dark recesses. This should be covered, and it need not be boring. Yet only a handful of American editors think it is worth covering on a regular basis.
Start covering the global flow of arms. Wasn't the wholesale sale of arms and other lethal equipment by the superpowers to Saddam Hussein the underlying cause of the war against him? Now the flow is starting all over again. Let us not forget that, since 1980, the United States alone sent about $1.6 billion in arms and high-tech equipment to Saddam. One shipment of military goodies landed in Iraq just one day before we went to war against him -- our own weaponry. In the arms-selling frenzy, too, were Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union and China. Talk about greed unlimited.
U.S. defense contractors, urged on by the president, already are lining up at the Pentagon begging for more contracts. If the contracts are not granted, they argue, thousands of jobs across America will disappear just when the recession is peaking. The shopping list of the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates is estimated at an enticing $60 billion. The industrial military complex is in full cry.
Further south, several African countries are in desperate throes of famine and disease, yet they are unable to deal with their survival crises because they are bogged down in civil war, wars made possible by the import of foreign arms. Who will pressure the United States to refuse to send weapons that prolong wars which are killing millions on the world's poorest continent?
The flow of arms is a giant First, Second and Third World story. …

Q. After being married a year, I found out my husband was further in debt than he had told me. I now understand why he never wanted to buy a house — he owes hundreds of thousands of dollars. If he had been honest, I would have married him anyway, but I would have waited until his finances were in order. But I can't take the lying. I moved out last month. He calls me constantly. What's good ex-etiquette?
A. If you want to repair the relationship, there's a lot to talk about. If you don't, since you don't have children or own property together, walking away can still be regarded as good ex-etiquette. Infidelity is not the only sort of betrayal that breaks up marriages.
Following the 10 rules of good ex-etiquette may be helpful even for something as huge as you describe. There are two lists — 10 rules for when you have children and 10 rules for when you don't. The rules for when you don't have children apply here. They are:
1. Own your stuff. (Fault and blame is a waste of your precious time.)
2. Stay calm when confronted (or confronting someone).
3. No badmouthing. (Keep gossip to a minimum.)
4. Set clear boundaries. (What are your deal breakers?)
5. Don't be spiteful.
6. Don't hold grudges.
7. Use empathy when problem solving. (Put yourself in his/her shoes.)
8. Be honest and straightforward.
9. Respect each other's turf.
10. Compromise whenever possible.
So, let's take a look at how you would apply the 10 rules of good ex-etiquette to your situation.
Starting with Rule No.1: "Fault and blame are a waste of time." Let's be frank, this wasn't your fault, but blaming him, if you want to reconcile, is counterproductive. You'll stay stuck in the blame/fault mode and never progress to trusting him enough to be married again. We all know a crucial component to a good marriage is trust. In your case, trust has been breached. Your ability to reconcile will be directly related to your ability to regain trust. If you don't think you can, you're just wasting your time.
Along those same lines, two more important rules to consider are Rule No. 5, "Don't be spiteful," and Rule No. 6, "Don't hold grudges."
Your husband needs to apologize, but you have to decide if an apology is enough. If it is, you must set clear boundaries for your future relationship (Rule No. 4) and respect each other enough (Rule No. 9) to be honest in the way you discuss things from this day forward (Rule No. 8). You may even want to put things in writing, if you think that will add to clarifying the boundaries. From this point on your relationship must be completely transparent.
Finally, if you do choose to reconcile, taking it on by yourselves will be difficult. It's easy to backtrack without someone to help keep you on course. Consult an professional to help guide your through the process.

Seminar Overview: Like a community of interacting organisms—publishers, libraries, vendors, editorial offices, and start ups are integral pieces of a living network. Although its stability is threatened at times, the ecosystem remains in balance as components create, survive, cooperate, and compete to establish their niche in the biome. Dive in and join the conversation as we explore the depths of industry collaboration, the changing identity of libraries, the game-changing promise of data, new approaches to the journal publication process, the needs of researchers and authors, and shifting tides in the publishing environment.
Pre-Registration is now closed. On-Site registration will be available at the Seminar.
Who should attend... This seminar brings together a cross section of non-profit society publishers, editors, and librarians to network and learn about cutting-edge topics in scholarly and scientific communication.

.- Pope Benedict XVI will take another important step in dialogue with the Islamic world this Thursday, when the Vatican receives a delegation headed by Prince El Hassan Bin Talal, younger brother of the King of Jordan.
The Pontiff will receive the members of the Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies; an agency which was founded by the Jordanian Prince in Amman, to provide "a venue in the Arab world for the interdisciplinary study and rational discussion of religion and religious issues, with particular reference to Christianity in Arab and Islamic society."
The Pope and Prince Hassan also met in 1999, when a Muslim youth requested that the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, lend his support for the creation of the Royal Foundation. Since 1999, Cardinal Ratzinger has been one of the most important international supporters of the initiative.

Now that we have more Dark types I see us having a Dark type specialist in gen 6 or in B2W2 cause who knows. They might change all the gym leaders or we'll have the same ones plus the two new ones.
Lol sorry, I just thought it was a very valid topic that needs discussing x] But yeah, I think there probably would be enough to build a team around? In Gen I there was only one Ghost type family and one Dragon type family, yet they had Elite Four trainers dedicated to just them, so I see no reason why they can't do it for a Dark gym x] Plus they've had two Dark Elite Four members, so there must be enough for them to build a team too? I think an ideal team for a dark gym leader would be made of (for the weaker gyms) Poochyena, Sneasel, Purrlion and Sableye, or (for the stronger gyms) Spiritomb, Weavile, Scrafty, Umbreon, Houndoom, that kind of stuff. :3 I reckon they could build a good team pretty easily with all the Pokemon available, so its about time they did! Or maybe Dark Pokemon are just too good and need to be reserved for the Elite Four ;]

text: What's the Point of Investing in Dreams? Vadim Zlotnikov August 19, 2013 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Equities Is innovation dead or are we on the cusp of new technological revolutions? Without resolving this epic debate, we believe that market conditions today are conducive to investing in companies with disruptive potential, but it takes a sober approach to find big dreams that can deliver big returns. For investors, innovation is important because it often drives productivity improvements and higher profit margins. From 2000 to 2008, US productivity declined sharply. Yet even then, there was evidence that innovation created value. According to one academic study, innovation-focused countries that issued high numbers of patents and spent aggressively on research and development (R&D) between 2006 and 2008 boosted productivity in 2009.1 In recent years, productivity has broadly improved. Meanwhile, there is now a wide dispersion of long-term earnings growth forecasts. We interpret this as a sign that analysts think earnings of a few, select companies are poised for a prolonged departure from historical levels. In other words, analysts believe there are big dreams in the market that could trigger disruption and boost profitability. When Dreams Become Nightmares Market dreams don't always have happy endings. During the Nifty Fifty years in the 1960s and 1970s, it was widely believed that the largest companies would grow forever. More recently, visions of another 20 years of explosive emerging-market and commodities growth were quite common. So is there really a point to investing in dreams? We think so—but beware of fantasies. Even though the tech bubble has made people wary of the "next big thing," we think there are still disruptive technologies out there that can generate productivity gains when they reach the market. Personalization Revolution Is Developing Information technology is a case in point. According to a study by Bernstein's semiconductor team, Moore's Law—which stipulates that the processing power of silicon chips doubles every two years or so—is set to continue for the next 20–30 years. Beyond semiconductors, a recent McKinsey study has identified several areas that could disrupt our current world order over the next decade, from self-driving vehicles to robotics and cloud technology.2 We see a common thread to the current wave of innovation: customization and personalization of products and services. Whether it's a tailored medical treatment based on your genetic makeup or a personalized online shopping experience, new technology is increasingly finding ways to tap into individual needs and preferences. But where should investors begin? R&D Patterns Are Insightful Start by looking at R&D patterns. About 40% of industries are R&D intensive, devoting more than 2% of sales to R&D. And companies that invest in R&D more than their industry average tend to deliver greater profit growth and better returns, according to our research (Display). The problem is that the benefits of above-average R&D spending tend to be highly episodic (Display). For example, after the tech bubble, stocks of companies with higher-than-average R&D spending underperformed dramatically. The good news is that we can also identify periods in which big R&D spenders did well. In those periods, three key conditions prevailed: first, R&D-to-sales ratios were increasing sharply. Second, estimated long-term growth rates were rising significantly. And third, the spread between high and moderate long-term growth rates was wide—meaning there were dreams to be captured. Today, all three conditions exist, so it's probably a good time to invest in innovation. Identifying Industries and Companies Our research suggests that increasing R&D-to-sales ratios for a given industry tends to lead to favorable performance. The challenge is to find industries where innovation is most likely to be rewarded, but are not crowded because of a high proportion of favorable analyst ratings. At the individual company level, a combination of a premium price/book valuation, rising return on equity and increasing R&D-to-sales is often a good sign of an R&D-intensive stock with promising return potential. So on average, it is better to look for companies willing to commit R&D resources in fast-growing market areas, rather than to look for a single "game-changing" company in a mature sector. 1. B.H.

Sprenger, Jan (2012) Testing a precise null hypothesis: the case of Lindley's Paradox. In: [2012] Philosophy of Science Assoc. 23rd Biennial Mtg (San Diego, CA) > PSA 2012 Contributed Papers.
Download (298Kb) | Preview
The interpretation of tests of a point null hypothesis against an unspecified alternative is a classical and yet unresolved issue in statistical methodology. This paper approaches the problem from the perspective of Lindley's Paradox: the divergence of Bayesian and frequentist inference in hypothesis tests with large sample size. I contend that the standard approaches in both frameworks fail to resolve the paradox. As an alternative, I suggest the Bayesian Reference Criterion: (i) it targets the predictive performance of the null hypothesis in future experiments; (ii) it provides a proper decision-theoretic model for testing a point null hypothesis and (iii) it convincingly accounts for Lindley's Paradox.

By Andrew Wolf, M.S. ED. Exercise Physiologist
As creatures that evolved in an environment that obligated constant movement the notion of sitting at a desk for 8-12 hours a day is totally unhealthy and foreign. Unfortunately, the last time I checked no one is really excited to pay me to go on monster hikes and epic bike rides 5 days a week. So I spend a fair amount of time in front of a computer just like most of you. However, being in front of a computer does not mean that you do not have to move at all, you can engineer sneaky ways to move even in the modern work space.

The Madisonian Legacy: A Jeffersonian
Robert M. S. McDonald
Two stark realities complicate any attempt to formulate a "Jeffersonian" interpretation of James Madison's legacy. The first is that much of what we call Jeffersonian can with equal fairness be termed Madisonian. The second is that many of the most glittering facets of Madison's legacy—state and federal constitutionalism, the Bill of Rights, Virginia's Statute for Religious Freedom, the resistance to Federalist politics in the 1790s, and the Republican administration of government in the decades that followed—to lesser or greater degrees form part of Jefferson's legacy as well.
Together, in a collaboration that spanned half a century, the two Virginians shaped the substance of public life in the United States. From their joint service during the American Revolution in their home state's House of Delegates to their cooperative founding of the University of Virginia, Jefferson and Madison documented their remarkable partnership through a voluminous correspondence that Julian P. Boyd, founding editor of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, described as "the most extended, the most elevated, the most significant exchange of letters between any two men in the whole sweep of American history." 1 It is not, however, the most exciting, for only rarely did Jefferson and Madison disagree. The few times they did are instructive.
Their most striking differences were external. Jefferson was tall— nearly six-foot-three—while Madison stood five-foot-six. Jefferson dressed comfortably—some said sloppily—and gained renown during his presidency for the bedroom slippers in which he reportedly received foreign diplomats and the trademark red waistcoat so often the subject of Federalist lampoons. Madison, on the other hand,

I don't think so. They've made some serious efforts to toughen up the program for Windows 2000. The word on the street is that pass/fail rates for exams bear this out completely. NT 4.0 exams enjoyed a 65-plus percent passing rate across the board for exams toward the end of its life cycle. Even the easiest (e.g. 70-210) Win2K MCSE exams have pass rates at or below 50 percent, and the hardest (70-240 and 70-216 keep coming up as real toughies) have pass rates between 20-30 percent (this is based on anecdotal evidence, but I hear a lot of anecdotes, if you know what I mean).
I think they've done a good job of designing exams that test real-world skills and hands-on experience this time around. I don't think this credential will be as likely to become debased as was the Windows NT 4.0 MCSE. I have to take some of that blame, in fact, for having originated the Exam Cram series...

Kudos to REI for opting out of Black Friday and doubling down on their core values. For anyone that's been an REI member and experienced the exceptional culture and practices of the 75+ year old retailer, this probably doesn't come as a huge surprise as REI has always stood in a league of it's own based on a retail experience that is nothing short of stellar; however, for the uninitiated the decision of a major national retailer which operates 140 retail stores, employing over 10,000 employees to shut down and pay their employees on one of the biggest shopping days of the year is curious at the very least.
How CAN they afford such a drastic move? The answer lies at the core of REI's culture which is a unique corporate structure called a Consumer Cooperative (not to be confused with a retailers cooperative) which means the company is actually owned and operated by it's members. In fact, REI is the largest Consumer Cooperative in the United States and one of the largest in the world. Without this unique structure, it would not be feasible for REI to simply opt out of Black Friday. Consumer Cooperatives are quite unique and complex but in short, while they sound great in theory they are extremely difficult to scale so it's phenomenal that REI has been able to overcome many of the obstacles which typically prevent a consumer collective from becoming anything more then a local retail anomaly. Even more fascinating is that REI continues to offer its members extraordinary benefits including one of the most liberal return policies in the industry, as well as a 10% dividend on all purchases, even as it continues to grow and build more massive stores around the country. REI's unique status as a Cooperative is what allows it to extend such progressive policies and how REI can make a bold move like opting out of Black Friday.
If REI were a publicly held corporation, or a private company beholden to investors it would be impossible for them to simply opt out of one of the largest shopping days of the year. Instead of opting out of Black Friday they'd be inventing new tributes to conspicuous consumerism and scheming for ways to get consumers lined up outside their stores earlier then the competition.
The genius of this move is that because REI was the first major retailer to opt out of Black Friday they are receiving major press and will continue to receive press throughout the holiday season. From a financial stand point, their decision should pay off handsomely as they will likely acquire new customers which they are very good at monetizing over the long term. In addition, if they inspire some of their existing customers to opt out of Black Friday, they operate a very successful web presence at REI.com which will allow them to monetize these customers without opening their stores.
Retail Pundits have been calling for the death of brick and mortar retail for years. In 2015, Brick and Mortar retail is not dead. Apple is one of the largest online retailers in the world but they also operate more then 450 retail stores worldwide and companies like Bonobos, Warby Parker & BirchBox are all examples of consumer brands which started out selling exclusively online and after tremendous success have branched out into the physical retail space. The reality is that uninspired retail is dead because consumers have simply too many options. To remain relevant, retailers must inspire consumers to earn their loyalty and to do this Retailers must project strong values and who reflect these values in everything they do.
