Dancing in the Rain - MFT Blog Hop
Welcome to the My Favorite Things mid-month blog hop! If you clicked here from Frances's blog, you're right on track. If not, you can get all caught up by starting with Kim and following the links. Along the way, be sure to give a warm welcome to MFT's two newest design team members, Barbara Anders and Kathy Daume' - this is their first hop from the DT side!
I'm showing a card that I made with a set called Rainy Day Friends. I've completely fallen in love with this sweet little girl in her raincoat. She reminds me of my cheerful, carefree daughter, who would also choose to dance in the rain rather than dwell on gray, cloudy skies. The card base is a heavy acetate that I stamped with the circle pattern from this set (using white Staz-On). I stamped the girl and umbrella onto one of MFT's Perfect Paper Panels, and colored with Copic markers. My card is pretty straightforward, so instead of card chatter, how about some MFT scoop?
* The Bubble Bin has been updated for the week - lots of great deals in there!
* Our weekly spotlight is crystals. You'll find all the crystal collections on sale in the store, and in this week's How'd They Do That feature, Cindy demonstrates how to use the Professional Touch HotFix Crystal Applicator and shows loads of different ways to use crystals.
* The first 50 orders after the release (at midnight tonight) will receive some Heidi Swapp stickers FREE.
* Last, don't forget about both the MFT sketch challenge and the My Favorite Challenge. Both are posted on Thursday mornings in the MFT forum on SCS. There's always some good chatter among the MFT crowd, so drop in and hang out with us a little! Prizes are awarded to the winners of both challenges, too!
Your next stop on the hop is the awesome Christina Fischer! I know she has something absolutely gorgeous to share with us!!

The question is do we really need to feel a sense of fear or discomfort to become truly engaged in politics? Do we want to be numb to what's truly going on and get distracted by reports in mainstream tabloid media putting the blame on the overused and now farcical phrase and sentiment of: "its the immigrants coming over here and nicking our jobs?"
Russell Brand, poor Essex lad turned Comedian and Actor, remains a divided figure throughout the electorate; YouGov's poll in November 2014 showed that 46% of Britons had a negative view of Brand, compared to 13% who felt positively about the comedian. However, one cannot deny he has inspired thousands to question the current system we are living under...
Shaikh Ali Salman is a political heavyweight in Bahrain. He has led Al-Wefaq, the largest political party in Bahrain for over ten years, and on 27 December 2014, he was once again re-elected as Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq at the party's General Assembly. The next day, Shaikh Salman was summoned to the Criminal Investigations Department, where authorities detained him.
I feel that Brand thinks that one glorious October, we will finally overthrow all tyranny and injustice everywhere and everything will be brilliant and we can all make love in a big field somewhere while John Denver sings to us. I know that's silly and reductive and dismissive. But, in the absence of a coherent plan, we are all forced to try to extrapolate What Would Happen Next.
It's not a task you throw yourself into light-heartedly, this revolution lark, but I've been preparing for it since birth. The moment I sprang from my mother's loins, I gave the midwife a sly wink (she was a bit of a sort) and immediately set about learning the ways of the world and Mother Nature (another sort).
Brand has undoubtedly empowered some of the politically apathetic young to criticize and question - like Tony Benn did on Da Ali G show - and such an achievement shouldn't be denigrated simply because one man doesn't have all the answers. The reality is that the young are often disinterested in politics and it might just take someone weird and wacky to offer them some sense of hope.
Would it surprise you to learn that most of Britain's newspapers are owned by one man? A Mr Rupert Murdoch. I would be so bold as to guess your answer is 'no'. After the phone hacking scandal of earlier years it has become somewhat engrained and accepted into the public domain that Mr Murdoch does in fact own, what I would say, is an unfair share of the UK's (and America's) media outlets.
Hundreds of police officers, many in riot gear, swooped into Hong Kong's Mong Kok Occupy encampment in the early hours of this morning. Police and street cleaners removed barricades and tents, leaving pro-democracy protesters restricted a smaller area of Nathan Rd in Kowloon, occupying the southbound side only.

Member Communication Resources
Client Testimonials
Our expertise and breadth of solutions, along with our recognition that no two associations' needs are the same, is what makes Naylor different. But don't take our word for it – read what our clients have to say about our solutions.
Transform Your Email Marketing [Infographic]
Email can be a very cost-effective tool if it's given the attention it deserves. Use these quick tips as a diagnostic tool for your association's email marketing program.
Hosting a Successful Webinar [Checklist]
Hosting a webinar can seem overwhelming, especially if you aren't sure where to begin. Follow this checklist to ensure your association's webinar will be a HUGE success.
Member Communications: Benchmarking
Infographic: Size Matters
In the first two parts of our series we learned that in 2015 associations used social media more frequently than any other communications channel and are striving to create content that their members find relevant. Now, we'll explore the unique challenges faced by small, mid-size and large associations.
Infographic: Staying Relevant
In part 2 of our three-part Insider Insights series, based on our 2015 Association Communications Benchmarking Study, we illustrate how many associations still struggle with the tactical and operational aspects of their communications.

Member Communications: Case Studies
Video Case Study: Material Handling Equipment Distributors' Association (MHEDA)
"We were just looking for a print publication, and it's gone worlds beyond that," says Liz Richards, executive vice president of the Material Handling Equipment Distributors' Association (MHEDA). MHEDA helps more than 600 members in the material handling business community stay competitive and connected. They needed a partner capable of developing a complete communications strategy. Watch how Naylor deployed their Content 360° program to fully integrate print and online communications, and how MHEDA and Naylor harnessed the power of their members to expand the reach of MHEDA's communications online, in person, and in print. Watch now.
Case Study: ADCI
ADCI engaged Naylor Association Solutions in late 2008 upon realizing their communications vehicles no longer met their needs. Since then, Naylor has partnered with ADCI to transform their marketing from a print magazine and static website to a comprehensive marketing platform that includes a print and digital version of a bimonthly magazine, a biweekly newsletter, ADCI TV, a mobile app, a show program, an online buyer's guide and more.
Ongoing successes earned the Naylor team "a seat at the table" among the ADCI Board of Directors. As a trusted entity and the marketing arm of the Association, the Naylor team plays an integral role in helping ADCI improve and grow. So, when ADCI decided to find a new website company, the
choice to use Timberlake (a Naylor company) was a no-brainer. Read more about ADCI's story.
Case Study: Constructor Magazine
Disgruntled with declining results of their Constructor magazine, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) sought a publisher who could reverse these negative trends. When Naylor proposed transforming Constructor into a full-fledged brand, AGC knew it was time to begin working. Read more about AGC Construtor's rebranding story.
Case Study: NACAS
Simply put, magazine publishing wasn't NACAS's expertise. They
couldn't manage developing the content, selling ads and printing
the publication in a timely or cost effective manner. They were
losing money and could no longer afford to dedicate resources to
this task.
With a leaner organization, NACAS had to find ways to add more
value for its members and generate more revenue for its
bottom line.
Case Study: NSSGA
When you're the leading voice of those who create the foundation of American life, consistent excellence for holding your brand and members to the highest regard is your goal. Addressing this intricate task, the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association put its faith in Naylor's trusted publication team. Read more about NSSGA's story.
Case Study: The New York State Association of Fire Chiefs
When in-house production of its quarterly magazine, SIZE UP, became too much of a time and financial burden, NYSAFC looked for a vendor that could ensure efficient production of the magazine and take over sales so NYSAFC staff could focus on improving editorial quality. Read how Naylor and NYSAFC work together to optimize sales, production, and editorial to produce an improved suite of communications that meets NYSAFC's information and financial goals.
Case Study: MHEDA
The innovative minds at the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) suspected that incorporating video into their communications strategy would increase audience engagement but the overwhelming task of creating a video strategy stifledprogress. MHEDA needed an expert partner in the industry, and Naylor was their answer. Read more about MHEDA's story.
Case Study: NAFA
Recognizing interest in their publications was declining, NAFA Fleet Management Association looked for ways to boost its authority and reach in the fleet management industry. They turned to Naylor to help maintain their status as the voice of the fleet management profession. Read more about NAFA's story.

Video is transforming the presentation of content around the world, and the mastery of this medium is proving to be the decisive factor for industry leading businesses.

The application is to intersect two sorted list of integers (set intersection), say list1 and list2.
Each element of list1 will be assigned a GPU thread, and do binary search to check whether it appears in the list2. It is easy to see that there will be huge amount thread divergences in this application. I wonder if there is any good approach to reduce thread divergences. I am using CUDA to implement this application.
I know there is an approach called P-ary search, but my task is to reduce the thread divergence of binary search. Also I know there is library called thrust, but it seems there is no attempt on reducing the divergences.

However it doesn't allow for a full covariance matrix for the errors. If you want to use leastsq with a full covariance matrix, then you could transform both sides yourself, similar to what is done in curve_fit, but with the cholesky of the inverse covariance matrix. We use that in statsmodels.GLS, but only for linear models. But, if there a large number of observations, then using the full covariance matrix is inefficient, and in many cases a more direct transformation can be used. nonlinear least squares is still largely missing in statsmodels. I don't know if any of the other packages that are based on leastsq have the option.

Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation (Agentschap NL) granted brain drug delivery company to-BBB an initial Innovation Credit of €1.2 million (about $1.7 million) to support a planned Phase I/II trial of its lead compound, which targets brain cancer. The credit will cover 35% of the costs needed for clinical development of 2B3-101.
2B3-101, brain-targeted doxorubicin liposomes, have been developed based on to-BBB's G-Technology®, designed to safely enhance the delivery of drugs to the brain. The liposomes are coated with the tripeptide glutathione at the tips of polyethylene glycol (PEG), ensuring that they can circulate for a prolonged period in plasma. There, the glutathione joins with the tips of the PEG molecules, targeting the liposomes toward active glutathione transporters on the blood-brain barrier.
The clinical trial aims to establish a safe therapeutic dosage for 2B3-101 and collect preliminary evidence of activity in a specific group of women with brain metastases of breast cancer. The Phase I/II study will start in a few months at three academic hospitals in The Netherlands, led by neuro-oncology experts of the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital (AVL-NKI).
2B3-101 has shown reduction of brain tumor growth in proof-of-concept studies at The Netherlands Cancer Institute, according to to-BBB. Clinical-scale batches of the compound have been produced by to-BBB's manufacturing partner, TTY Biopharm.

 Let's start with some startling facts about the consumer products and goods (CPG) industry. Failure rates of new product innovations are estimated to be higher than 70 percent globally. Still, more than 80 percent of traditional marketers make decisions based on gut feel and past experiences, instead of using scientific approaches that unlock new insights (for example, advanced analytics).

 Today, CPG companies are wrestling with a host of market challenges related to market, retailer and technology. Some of the significant challenges faced by the CPG companies include:

 Market – Volatile commodity prices and shifts in global supply and demand increasingly influence the gross profit margins of CPG companies. Large multi-national CPG companies have global supply chains and they sell globally, hence their profit margins are affected by the cyclical movements of currencies, economies and other macro-economic factors in a country.

 Retailer – The increasing clout of retailers in the marketplace poses significant challenge to the CPG companies. The big retailers are getting even bigger and more powerful. CPG companies face pressure from the retailers to reduce prices. There is a lack of collaboration/partnership with the retailers as retailers continue to limit access to consumer data and insights. CPG companies increasingly find it challenging to obtain approval from retailers for executing their plans and strategies. Maintaining retailer's loyalty also becomes a big ongoing challenge for the CPG companies.

 Technology – Keeping pace with exponential increase in data and associated analysis and technological developments has always been a challenge for the CPG companies. Companies are struggling with integrating data across channels and functions, cleaning and standardizing it and churning it with the help of advanced analytics to produce actionable insights.

 These are all important challenges worthy of attention for the market participants, in order to survive and compete in the marketplace. Still, the manufacturers should start focusing on the one thing that can inform their product development, improve their operational effectiveness, increase their competitiveness and boost their profits - the consumer.

 The presence of today's technology-enabled empowered, omni-channel consumer affects how CPG companies control costs, grow sales, coordinate a wide variety of trade activities, manage time and manage the customer (retailer) relationship. These consumers are empowered by an abundance of information, technology and choices. Their expectations from the companies have increased in terms of ongoing engagement and constant experience across channels. And they can champion or sully the reputation of a brand at the click of a mouse. Their constant online and offline engagement with companies and their products generate a lot of data about their shopping behavior and preferences. That is why, manufacturers should start taking their end consumers more seriously as this knowledge can inform various functions like sales, supply chain, IT etc. across the companies (and not just marketing) and help companies transform their entire value chain. This would help them to anticipate consumer need s and proactively plan for them. This can also help them collaborate with retailers and gain a seat at the decision maker's desk.

 Many CPG companies, globally, have started to realize this need of strong consumer focus and are deploying dedicated resources and advanced analytics to develop consumer centric capabilities. For example, in its 2011 category leadership study by Kantar retail, when retailers were asked which manufacturers ranked among the top three in consumer/shopper insights and category management, Procter & Gamble (41.9%), Kraft Foods (37.1%) and PepsiCo (27.0%) came out on top, with General Mills a hair width behind (26.9%).

 We, at the IBM Center for Applied Insights, have been working on a comprehensive global study of over 350 CPG senior executives to gain more quantitative and qualitative insights about the increasing consumer focus of these CPG companies. The focus of this study would be to understand market trends, the need for consumer orientation, who are the leaders, how they are doing it and the results achieved.

 Watch out this space for more insights and information on the release of forthcoming executive presentation, info-graphic and white paper.

 The IBM CAI blog has moved - please bookmark and follow the new blog at http://www.ibmcai.com

 IBM Center for Applied Insights (CAI) has recently started a new program on building fact-based, market-centric thought leadership assets on various facets of mobile money.

 <p
</p<>

 As I dig deeper to understand the current state and evolving trends of this segment, some facts are worth noticing: Consultative Group to Assist the Poor. (CGAP) estimates that around 3.5 billion people worldwide currently lack access to formal financial services. It estimates that there will be 1.7 billion unbanked customers with mobile phones by 2012. There are more than 165 pilots in the mobile money segment in emerging economies being run by a diverse group of organizations.

 However, very few mobile money deployments have been able to achieve scale and gain significant customer base. Some deployments which have been able to achieve significant scale include M-Pesa in Kenya, GCASH and Smart Money in Philippines, Vodacom in Tanzania, and MTN Uganda.

 Hence, there is definitely a huge potential to achieve scale in this segment, especially in the emerging markets, and firms are investing hard to address this market. However, many of them are still struggling to fully tap into this opportunity. Cracking the code for high customer adoption and usage, in quantity and continuity, appears to be an Achilles' heel for the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), financial institutions, and other organizations trying to venture into this segment.

 So, what insights can we learn from those who have succeeded in this segment? I researched to determine some common factors which seem to have made some deployments more successful than others. It seems that there are two broad factors which can prove to be very critical for an organization while trying to launch and subsequently scale: the actual product and an effective agent network. Today, we'll take a look at the impact of the product.

 Product – Building a strong, robust and compelling product offering (and later a product portfolio) is a very important factor which is sometimes overlooked as many companies try to emulate successful offerings and solutions from other deployments.

 Some of the key points to keep in mind are:

 <o:p></o:p>

 Company's vision and long term strategy – Most of the successful companies have a well-defined long term vision and strategy with respect to offering mobile money services. For instance, a company can aspire to be the leading low cost provider for person-to-person transfer services or it can aspire to be a leading service provider in the retail payments segment. A clear vision also helps senior management develop a long term commitment to the service. This often takes substantial initial funding towards mobile money deployments and at least three to five years to become profitable.

 <o:p>

 Specific needs of the market – A clear and articulated value proposition, in terms of addressing the 'market specific' needs for mobile money, goes a long way towards ensuring success of the deployment. There is no 'One size fits all' business model or offering which can cater to different markets in the emerging or the developed economies. For example, M-Pesa has gained its popularity and scale by uniquely positioning the product to address the remittance need of the Kenyan population; its value proposition being: "send money home." WIZZIT in South Africa focuses on "live life anywhere" by addressing the mobile banking needs of their consumers. Other avenues can be business-to-business payments, bill pay, salary payments, and so on. In the planning phase, a thorough market research can help develop a deep understanding of consumer's pain points in the specific market which can be addressed effectively by the mobile money deployment.

 Product/Concept awareness – The bulk of potential consumers in the emerging markets are from the informal economy, people who are unbanked and use other formal and informal means such as post offices, banks, or personal networks for money transfer. This target segment is mostly unaware of the potential for and features of newly launched mobile money offerings. They also have security apprehensions associated with mobile money transfers and lack of initial technology understanding. For example, some of my colleagues were initially worried about security of their payments while using newly launched mobile payments services by BharatiAirtel. Hence, a concerted and targeted marketing campaign goes a long way in addressing the apprehensions of the target segment.

 Essential Features –This target customer base from the informal segment in emerging economies wants the service to be Fast (Instant transfer of money over long distance and without any queues), Inexpensive (in comparison to costlier credit/debit cards or informal payment methods), Safe (Holding value and making payments that is safer than holding and transacting cash) and Accessible (able to cash out, make purchases, and receive money in remote areas). For example, as per a white paper by IBM, cost of sending 1000 Ksh ($13.06) through M-Pesa is $0.38 which is cheaper than any other service available in Kenya such as PostaPay and Bus Company.

 Right Partnerships – Research suggests that making the right partnerships at the right time helps a) align the business and its new/existing products with the overall vision on an ongoing basis, b) continuously learn and address the needs, challenges and new demands of the market and c) expand and reach scale. The partnerships can be with technology partners, banks and financial institutions, MNOs, agent networks, retail chains and other corporate organizations.

 For example, Bank Bradesco and the Post Office in Brazil have partnered to create Banco Brazil. The partnership has been able to effectively attract rural populations boosting the business of both companies. Another interesting partnership is in Japan, a developed economy. Sony partnered with DoCoMo, a MNO, to form a joint venture – FeliCa Networks. They produced both the mobile phone chip and card reader which enable them to manage downloads and applications for consumers and merchants and gain a strong foothold in the mobile payment market.

 There is a lot to be learned and written on the effective management of agent networks. The agent network is the effective face of the company for consumers. I can try to explore this factor in more detail in one of my subsequent posts. Look forward to your comments and observations.

"The Cantharus of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere" Top 5 Page for this destination Trastevere Tip by von.otter
Trastevere, Rome: 65 reviews and 134 photos
"It was rumored of him once that he was about to join the Roman Catholic communion, and certainly the Roman ritual had always a great attraction for him."
— from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" 1890 by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
A GREAT ATTRACTION During the early Middle Ages it was common for major churches to have a source of water, often a fountain standing in a garden or a courtyard. Here the faithful could refresh themselves and carry out ritual ablutions before entering the church. The water of the fountain came out of a cantharus, originally a cup with spiral handles; the whole fountain came to be referred to by this name. These abandoned marble cantharus were taken from the ruins of baths or villas.
One of the few existing cantharus (see photos #2 & #3) stands in the courtyard of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere. Hundreds of years later, water still flows into a low square basin from an ancient marble cantharus. The effect is quite peaceful.
Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is a ninth century church that was almost entirely rebuilt in 1725. The bell tower dates to the 12th century (see photo #5). The gorgeous Gothic baldachino stands before the ninth century mosaics. A wedding was in progress when we visited (see photo #4).
Beneath the high altar rests the recumbent 1600 marble sculpture of Santa Cecilia above by Stefano Maderno. The bare throat shows the vain attempts of the executioner to sever her head. The work shows position of the body of Our Saint as it was discovered in 1599. The body was found uncorrupted.
Address: Piazza Santa Cecilia, 2
Directions: Main church and excavations: daily 9:30am to 12:30pm and 4 to 6:30pm
Cavallini frescoes: Mon-Sat 10:15am to 12:15pm, Sunday 11:15am to 12:15pm
