Too Cool
Literally the coolest book ever. Breezing through the pages of this handy flip book offers the illusion of standing in front of a refreshing fan as it cycles back and forth. The idea is the first published book from a company called 72 and Sunny from their CD. (I'm guessing he or she is an art director?)As the writer would have dismissed in an instant as it's not available as an eBook. For me playful but practical. In my book always a good sign of an idea.Have a great weekend.

Very Krafty
Towards the end of last year, Kraft decided to renove all articial flavours, perservatives and dyes from its popular Macaroni and Cheese product. But when Kraft informed its customers of the imminent change, it was met with strong resistance. Social media lit up with moans and complaints from fans saying they will stop eating the product if they change. Now for the Krafty bit; with advice from their agency CP&B - their response? Don't tell them!! So what did they do? So for 3 months around the end of 2015, Kraft quietly started selling the new product in the old packaging, and the changes was only announced in very small type on the packs. Kraft sold 50 million boxes, which is standard in 3 months, so no complaints, they then launched the campaign' We'd invite you to try it, but you already have' - the whole idea was don't advertise (How ironic coming from an ad agency) That's what you call real problem solving in marketing - not trying to over analysis, or use tech for tech sake, or do a big old production number – it just comes down to one thing; smart thinking.

Sign of true problem solving
I came across this on Twitter and wanted to share this invention for two important reasons, the first is; it's a brilliant idea. (Yes it's still in development and needs certain things to be ironed out but it's still a great idea especially an idea that has come from students so young. Both Thomas Pryor and Navid Azodi are undergraduate students at the University of Washington (UW) studying Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering and Business Administration, (Bet that looks good on your CV :) The two met in their freshman year and connected over a shared interest in invention and problem solving. The invention idea came from a personal experience of Navid's. During the first seven years of his life, he used non-verbal communication. Notice their interest in 'invention and problem solving' this gets onto my next important point; how can we in our multi-million pound industry of 'digital transformation' or 'digital marketing' or 'engaging content' whatever we decide to call it, try to replicate that sediment when in reality the work that is been produced is such pointless, worthless crap? read for me this was bang on. And the reason why? The big problem with our industry is we aren't problem solvers anymore we are just confused. (The industry is changing at such a rapid rate we are desperate to find a meaning on what we and our brands are about). There was a small few but now we have heaps of people who think they are really solving problems, they think they are super clever but in reality they are so wrapped up in their little bubble, they are blinded to the fact they are producing utter bollocks. It's not and repeat not 'digital transforming' (By the way there's another phrase that has surfaced that's adding to the bullshit) I do honestly believe it hurts our business and screws a brand and a company's reputation as most people in the real world just think; WTF. A casing point last week I read that some company 'invented' an umbrella that tells you when it is about to rain. Please just stop and just fuck right off. Really? I read it thinking it was a joke but sadly it wasn't. Now just push the creative pause button. Let's stop what we are doing and look at ideas like SignCloud and celebrate that people are out there really trying to change and transform people's lives, we as an industry have so many smart people it's time for us to channel it and produce work on a par with SignCloud – the bar has been risen, and for many in our industry they won't be able to compete and keep pace in innovative thinking. The others can so make a difference and seek them out and create brilliant ideas.

Innovation and creativity all under one house
Lovely piece here from HAKUHODO Kettle Tokyo, in the fact they took a simple obvious idea for moving house and did something completely left-field - a very sweet and powerful eco-social experiment. Tapping into something that people care about and turned it on its head. With the behind the scene builds which puts it all into context this makes for a very watchable piece of content, that's so good on all fronts. Hat tip. I wish I done.

Fnac Stores play on the emotional 'music idols never die' to promote their new vinyl section by using vinyl records of three iconic musical legends, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin.

Bridging Gaps: Where is the Persona in Celebrity and Journalism?
The Terrace Club
25 W. 51st St. (Off Fifth Ave.) New York, NY
September 2-3, 2015
Seeking papers for a seminar regarding the treatment of emergency, or crisis, in contemporary poetics, for "Poetics: (The Next) 25 Years Conference, April 9-10, 2016, to mark the program's 25th anniversary (conference description below). 5-7 page papers will be circulated in advance of the conference; there will be no formal presentations during the seminars, which will consist of discussion among participants. Potential topics may include war, empire, planetary crisis, apocalypse or end-times, and the temporality of emergency. Send 250-word abstract, and CV, to email@example.com by August 1, 2015.
"Poetics: (The Next) 25 Years" Conference, April 9-10, 2016
The myths of yesterday and the myths of today.
From Barthes to Maffesoli.
This panel seeks interesting and innovative papers in the field of adaptation studies. As Linda Hutcheon writes in A Theory of Adaptation, adapters "are just as likely to want to contest the aesthetic or political values of the adapted text as to pay homage." Our panelists will explore the political uses to which adaptation is put, considering why and how authors adapt specific texts for political purposes. We will consider the possibilities and limitations of using adaptation as a political tool.
Inspired by the 50th year anniversary marking the landmark march from Selma to Montgomery, the journal Making Connections: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Cultural Diversity invites submissions for a themed special issue on Race and 'Normalcy.'
"Race and 'Normalcy,'" builds on Dr. Martin Luther King's (1965) address at the conclusion of the march, in which he states:
Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association
Call for papers for the Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association Conference
Nov. 5-7, 2015 (Philadelphia, PA, USA)
The Travel and Tourism area of MAPACA seeks papers that discuss and explore any aspect of travel and/or tourism. Topics for this area include, but are not limited to, the following:
- travel and gender/race/class
- personal travel narratives
- heritage tourism
- material culture and tourism
Please feel free to consider a wide range of materials, texts and experiences. Applicants may also propose 3-person panels and roundtables.
Students (both undergraduate and graduate) and independent scholars are encouraged to apply.
Literatures of the African Diaspora and the Other Arts
From Langston Hughes' 1955 collaboration with photographer Roy DeCarava in The Sweet Flypaper of Life, Wallace Thurman's 1929 collaboration with William Jourdan Rapp in Harlem: A Melodrama of Negro Life in Harlem, and the infamous collaboration of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston in Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life, the Harlem Renaissance era was a time of flourishing inter-arts collaborations under-examined in contemporary criticism. This panel therefore welcomes papers about the inter-arts collaborations of the Harlem Renaissance inspired by the SAMLA 87 theme, In Concert: Literature and the Other Arts.
It is a given that fairy tales are more than stories just for children. Their messages transcend age, culture, and generation. Broad classification of fairy tales and their elements, first by Antti Aarne and refined by Stith Thompson in the early twentieth century helps to point out these commonalities. While common elements help us to connect to the stories, we are impacted just as strongly by tales told through various art forms. From the opera to classical music to ballet, from painting to sculpture, to film and photography, the written words that create the fairy tales are brought to life through incorporating other senses of sight, hearing, and touch. An excellent example is the iconic bronze statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen.
Montaigne in Early Modern England and Scotland
Confirmed speakers:
Warren Boutcher (Queen Mary)
Will Hamlin (Washington State)
Katie Murphy (Oxford)
John O'Brien (Durham)
Richard Scholar (Oxford)
David Louis Sedley (Haverford)
Dates: Fri.-Sat. 6-7 Nov. 2015
This session seeks to explore the representation of sexual violence on the English stage as both a trope and as an articulation of early modern patriarchal systems of authority and governance. From the threatened rape of Mariana in Pericles to Heywood's Rape of Lucrece and Fletcher's Bonduca, sexual violence permeated the London stage. By considering the role of sexual violence within early modern theatrical culture, this session will investigate how anxieties regarding gender norms were literally performed, how individual playwrights resisted, complied with, or complicated prevailing notions of gendered behaviour, and how the threat of sexual violence functioned as a strategy of gendered governance in the period.
In its aesthetic and political senses, "collaboration" has a twofold, seemingly contradictory meaning. On the one hand, collaboration names a creative and democratically communicative sharing between individuals, disciplines, traditions, etc. Yet, on the other hand, this positive sense is countered by negative connotations of traitorous and nefarious "collaborationism." While the positive sense of collaboration has found academic credibility in its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary guises, the negative connotations of collaboration refer us to traditions of appropriation, marginalization, and usurpation.
"New Directions in Africana Literature"
This panel welcomes papers that explore the contours and contexts of contemporary Africana Literature. We invite presenters to consider potential new scholarly directions for emerging writers of African descent as well as established writers whose recent works address the imperatives of the current moment. We especially welcome papers that address the SAMLA 87 theme ("In Concert: Literature and the Other Arts"). Other themes that panelists might address in their work include, but are not limited to:
· Contemporary literary works that challenge or disrupt conventional understandings of form and/or genre
JSR: Journal for the Study of Radicalism—a print academic journal published by Michigan State University Press—announces a call for articles and reviews for our tenth year of issues.
Our next thematic issue is on literature and radicalism. We are interested in the ways radical groups, individuals, or movements appear in fiction or poetry. We are interested in radicalism across the political spectrum (or perhaps even off the conventional spectrum, as the case may be).
We are very much interested in articles for a coming issue (or issues) devoted to anarchism and contemporary variants of anarchism or putative anarchism of the right as well as of the left—and, of course, anarchism without any clear conventional political alignments.

PROVO — When neighbors of the Missionary Training Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gather Thursday evening to talk to church officials about plans to build a new nine-story building on the MTC campus, they'll not only get to talk about the building, they'll get to see it.
The LDS Church today released an architect's rendering of the as-yet-unnamed building, which will be built on the MTC campus where the Melvin J. Ballard Building is currently located. The Ballard Building is known to generations of LDS missionaries as the location for the MTC bookstore, mailroom and Training Resource Center.
In addition to the rendering of the new building itself, LDS officials will also show neighbors several additional renderings that provide a view of how the new building will look from various locations in the surrounding area.
"Some of our neighbors have been justifiably concerned about the impact of a nine-story building on their view," said Richard L. Heaton, MTC director, during an interview in the MTC administration building Wednesday. "There's no question there will be some intrusion on the view. But I think when you look at these renderings you can see that it isn't as intrusive as you think it might be."
For that reason Heaton said he encourages those who live in the area to come to the Thursday meeting, which is scheduled to being at 6 p.m. in the Rock Canyon Elementary School gym, 2405 N. 650 East in Provo. Meeting attendees are encouraged to enter through the west door.
Neighbors can also see the renderings on a website specifically designed for them: www.mtc.byu.edu/neighbors.html. The web site includes an explanation of the project and answers to frequently asked questions as well as the renderings, and it offers a feedback mechanism so individual concerns can be registered and addressed.
"We've been studying this for three years now," Heaton said. "We knew we had a situation that we needed to deal with, and we've explored dozens of options to deal with it. We believe this is the best option for both the church and the neighborhood."
The "situation" to which Heaton referred is building obsolescence.
"A number of our buildings are now more than 30 years old — and these are buildings that have had heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy use," he said. "Their heating, cooling and plumbing systems are at the end of their life cycle. Those systems are obsolete — it's hard to find parts to fix them. These buildings are just worn out."
For the past few years the MTC has been going through a period of renovation, particularly to the residence halls that provide housing to the 2,500 missionaries who are being trained at the MTC at any given time. Heaton said that work on six of the eight residence halls will be complete by the end of the year.
"The work on the residence halls is moving along well because we can close one hall for seven or eight months and squeeze the missionaries into other halls while we renovate," he said. "But the training buildings are another matter. There are as many as 60 classrooms in these buildings. There just isn't anywhere for us to absorb that many classrooms while a new building is being built. If you take one of the training buildings down, where do you put the missionaries?"
The buildings are also technologically deficient. "They weren't built for modern technology," Heaton said. "They were built for a time when we needed lots of private space where missionaries could go to sit alone and memorize. We don't work that way any more. We are very interactive, and we rely a lot on modern technology. Technologically retrofitting these buildings takes a lot of time and money."
During the past three years, dozens of specific options have been considered as possible solutions to the problem, Heaton said. Those options included:

By Staff Writer | September 12, 2012 11:17 AM EDT
Popular idol group MBLAQ held an encore concert at the Pacifico Yokohama on September 8-9 for their 'THE BLAQ%' first Asia tour.
This tour started in June in Indonesia and ended in Japan and sold out for every concert. Due to the request of their fans, they held an encore concert which also sold out right away.
They started off the concert with their hit song, "Mona Lisa" and "Y." MBLAQ commented, "We remember when we stood on this stage to open for singer Rain's performance. We are happy that we are standing on this stage as MBLAQ today."
Individual members showed off their talents as G.O and Mir performing "Wild," Thunder with "Don't Go" and Mir's "Do You Want to Go Crazy." Leader Seungho surprised fans by playing the piano and displayed a magic trick of completely changing his outfit while on stage.
This 2 hour long concert was filled with good music and solo songs as well as events for the fans.

Freshman F Greg Smith
Jan. 16, 2010
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
PROVO, Utah - Freshman forward Greg Smith tallied a career-high 13 points, but a turnover plagued stretch late in the first half proved too much for Colorado State to overcome. The Rams fell, 91-47, in front of 20,155 fans at BYU's Marriott Center.
"I thought that the game started off fine," said Head Coach Tim Miles. "But after about 8 minutes, it wasn't fine. I think BYU is a special team, and they are not widely enough recognized for as good as they are. I think this might be one of the best teams that I've ever coached against."
Colorado State opened up the contest looking strong against the No. 18/17 Cougars and the Rams hung with the three-time defending MWC champions early in the game, staking to a 16-15 lead with 12:01 left in the first half.
A jumper by BYU freshman Tyler Haws gave the Cougars the lead for good, 17-16, and sparked an 18-4 BYU run between the 10:13 and 3:11 marks of the opening stanza, to put the Cougars in front, 33-20 with 3 minutes left in the half. Junior guard Adam Nigon answered with a pair of free-throws to pull to within 11, 33-22 with 2:11 left in the first half, but the Rams would not inch any closer throughout the remainder of the game, and the Cougars skated to the 91-47 victory.
BYU pulled away steadily throughout the second half, shooting a blistering 62.5 percent (20-for-32) from the field in the closing stanza. Overall, BYU hit 58.6 percent (34-for-58) from the field, compared with just 31.4 percent (16-for-51) for the Rams.
Smith, who led the Rams in scoring, tallied nine of his 13 points in the second half, connecting on 4-of-9 attempts from the floor and hitting 5-for-6 at the free-throw line.
BYU was led by junior guard Jimmer Fredette, who tallied a game-high 21 points. Also scoring in double-figures for the Cougars were senior Jonathan Tavernari (14 points) and Haws (10).
Junior forward Andy Ogide added seven points for the Rams, and pulled down a team-leading six rebounds. Freshman guard Dorian Green also chipped in with seven points, and added three rebounds and a team-leading two assists for the Rams, who had just five helpers on the day.
The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Rams, and pushed the Cougars (18-1, 3-0 MWC) ahead of CSU (11-6, 2-1 MWC) in the Mountain West Conference standings. BYU has now won 13 consecutive games since losing their only game of the season, 71-61, at Utah State on Dec. 2.
Colorado State will now look ahead to next Wednesday's matchup with UNLV at Moby Arena. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. between the Rams and the Runnin' Rebels, who host Utah late Saturday evening. CSU's matchup with UNLV will air live on The Mtn.

According to the Shanghai Morning Post, a group of internet users collaborated via a crowdfunding website to reserve every other seat at a Valentine's night showing of Beijing Love Story at a movie theatre in the city's Xintiandi shopping complex.
[…] "Want to see a movie on Valentine's Day?" read an online message by the stunt organiser, who is known on the internet by the initials "UP". "Sorry, you'll have to sit separately. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Give us singles a chance."
"UP" described himself to the Shanghai Morning Post as a "computer nerd" who broke up with his girlfriend last year. The stunt was surprisingly difficult to pull off, he said. [Source]
Disappointed Shanghai couples will have another chance to festively enjoy a flick during China's own holiday devoted to lovers on the other side of the lunar calendar. A country with a skewed sex-ratio, China is home to a huge number of young singles, who since 1993 have collectively celebrated their lonesome on November 11 (11/11). While Valentine's Day is a significant contributor to revenue in the greeting card, confectionary, and flower industries of the West, China's "Singles' Day" set the global record for eCommerce last year. At the International Business Times, Michelle FlorCruz reports on the values and policies that have given rise to legions of unattached Chinese:
A mixture of changing societal values and old policies have contributed to China's growing population of single people. The lasting effects of China's One Child Policy, which was relaxed at the beginning of this year, can be seen in a subset of Chinese men that have been dubbed "bare branch bachelors." As a result of the policy, Chinese families often resorted to abortion or infanticide of female babies to make sure they had boys, and that has created an extremely uneven gender distribution in the country. Recent research puts the ratio at roughly 122 males to every 100 females, making pairing off a woman's game in China.
On the other hand, women have increasingly rejected the traditional notion of getting married and starting families in their early 20s as the population becomes more educated and career-oriented.
Despite these changes, the pressure to settle down can be felt by both genders. Single women in their late 20s and beyond are often given the unfortunate nickname of "leftover woman." [Source]
On Valentine's Day in China, PRI's The World broadcast a China-focused story looking at the cultural relativity of romantic love:
Examining the cultural and chemical elements that make up love, the Catherine Winter reports from a marriage market in Shanghai. From PRI's accompanying write-up:
[…] And Chinese culture may be changing when it comes to love and marriage.
Nowhere is that more apparent than in the marriage markets that have sprung up in Chinese cities in recent years. As millions of people have migrated to urban areas, old ways of negotiating matches have become impossible. You can't consult with the neighbors if you don't know the neighbors.
On a recent weekend in Shanghai, people looking for spouses filled People's Park to look at personal ads laid out on the sidewalk or attached to walls. Many were parents looking for spouses for their adult children — sometimes without the children's knowledge. Some opened umbrellas, set them on the sidewalk and clipped laminated sheets of paper to them, listing their children's vital statistics — age, height, income.
Zhou Yun, senior matchmaker at Shanghai Hongyan Matchmaking Company, was at the market to help arrange meetings, for a fee. She says things have changed since she was a girl. […] [Source]

China's one-day shopping craze heralds the frenetic growth of Internet shopping in that country. China is set to overtake the United States this year as the largest online shopping market in the world, according to Forrester Research. Chinese consumers are expected to spend $290 billion at online retail sites this year, compared with $260 billion for their counterparts in the United States.
After moving into a new apartment in this city near Shanghai in August, Yuan Keru, a postgraduate student, and her boyfriend waited several months to buy furnishings for their new home. They splurged Monday.
At midnight, Ms. Yuan logged on to her laptop and clicked on Tmall. She selected a floor lamp, a carpet and some wallpaper. Her boyfriend picked out earphones. Finally, they added a cozy touch: his and hers cotton slippers for the winter.
In all, Ms. Yuan spent 1,500 renminbi, or nearly $250, before calling it a night. That, Ms. Yuan said, represented about half a month's living costs for her. [Source]
This year's sales figure nearly doubled last year's, according to Bloomberg Businessweek:
Taobao and Tmall, Alibaba's two main platforms, broke last year's sales in the first 13 hours of the 24-hour period, China's largest e-commerce company said on its official Twitter Inc. account. Yesterday was China's Singles' Day, a local twist on Valentine's Day, and e-commerce firms marked the occasion by flooding the Internet with promotions.
Tmall's vendors, starting midnight, began cutting prices by 50 percent or more on selected products from 20,000 Chinese and international merchants, including Gap Inc. (GPS:US) and Steven Madden Ltd. Surging Internet purchases show Chinese demand is shifting away from bricks-and-mortar outlets. The percentage of retail sales made online last year jumped to 6.3 percent from 4.3 percent a year earlier, according to Bloomberg Industries. [Source]
Sarah Mishkin of the Financial Times writes that even as Monday's shopping binge highlighted Alibaba's massive scale, research suggests that it may be facing heightened competition:
Online shopping in China still mostly consists of so-called consumer- to-consumer sales, that are akin to shopping on eBay in its early days. This is a market that Alibaba dominates through its Taobao site, which has a 90 per cent market share.
However, in the same way that e-commerce in the west shifted from sales between individuals to sales by companies – so-called business-to-consumer transactions – Chinese online retailers are also in the ascendancy, and competing with Alibaba on discounts. [Source]

But Chinese have not forgotten about the true meaning of this holiday: hating singlehood. Singles' Day is an occasion on which Chinese confess their feelings and try to find significant others. On Nov. 7, with four days to go before the holiday, the top trending topic on Weibo, China's Twitter,was "Help Your Roommate Find Someone." Over 200,000 people participated in the discussion,posting pictures of their roommates (and sometimes themselves) in hopes of avoiding another lonely Singles' Day.
Chinese are no strangers to loneliness: There are tens of millions of men in China who may never find love due to the country's massive gender imbalance, a result of the One Child Policy and a longstanding preference for male children. Chinese women don't have it easy either: Those who remain unmarried at the ripe old age of 27 risk being labeled "leftover women," a pejorative term that government organizations have promoted to encourage educated women to settle down. [Source]
At the Wall Street Journal Juro Osawa explains that the world's largest e-commerce platform, Alibaba, plays a major role in retail therapy on Double 11:
In the U.S., it takes Thanksgiving, plus the approach of the year-end holidays, to trigger the biggest shopping weekend of the year. In China, all it takes is a sale by Alibaba.
Every Nov. 11, millions of Chinese shoppers flock to the e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. They spend more on those sites during that one day of discounts than Americans do on all online retailers on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. [Source]

In this contradiction—between Singles Day and illegal tweets, between needing the middle class to sustain the Party's rule, and punishing the middle class for passing jokes around—lies the Communist Party's essential problem. For years, the Party, and many observers abroad, believed that the middle class would be the Party's greatest ally, that it had gained so much during the boom years that it would never risk the trappings of prosperity for fuzzy notions of political freedom. It was an idea that reached all the way back to the ancient sage Mencius, who declared that "Those who have property are also inclined to preserve social stability." In modern China, that turned into the belief that the middle class would become the xiaofei qianwei, zhengzhi houwei: "the consumer avant-garde and political rear guard."
[…] The arrest of Zhai Xiaobing, which has inspired a petition calling for his release, stirred a particular kind of dread among China's self-made liberals because it reached into the privileged domain beyond the Great Firewall, the electronic dinner table where members of China's new knowledge class were supposed to be able to joke freely, as long as they kept shopping. Day by day, it seems, the Party is confronting the fact that prosperity alone—the politics of goods—is no match for the politics of information.
Yasheng Huang questioned the nature of the link between stability and prosperity in a recent essay at Foreign Policy, featured on CDT earlier this week. "Some analysts believe that the Chinese people tolerate corruption in exchange for fast growth," he wrote. "This is a bit like saying that New Yorkers tolerated Hurricane Sandy. Fast growth maintains a façade of stability not because it has secured tacit complicity from the Chinese people, but because it has funded the instruments of repression."

By 7 pm on Sunday, 14.1 billion yuan of transactions were made on Tmall and Taobao, the two online shopping websites of Alibaba.
That could make Singles' Day the biggest e-commerce sales day on record. The research company comScore said US online retailers saw $1.25 billion of sales during last year's Cyber Monday, the day after Thanksgiving weekend and the busiest day for online retailers as US shoppers start to prepare for Christmas.
"In the past, people only shopped online occasionally, but now, online shopping is a lifestyle embraced by many," said Zhang Yong, Tmall president.
"I don't know whether we would lose money, but I don't think we could earn much on this day by selling goods at half price," said Hao Hongfeng, chairman of Beijing Jiuxian E-Commerce, a liquor retailer in Beijing who took part in the event.
Although the demand for Chinese exports is down, the holiday has boosted sales in China. According to AP, the holiday began in the 1990s among Chinese college students:
Singles Day was begun by Chinese college students in the 1990s as a version of Valentine's Day for people without romantic partners. The timing was based on the date: Nov. 11, or "11.11" — four singles. Unattached young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to woo that special someone and end their single status.
That gift-giving helped to turn it into a major shopping event as sellers of everything from jewelry to TVs to cars saw a marketing opportunity and launched Singles Day sales. It is China's answer to Cyber Monday in the United States — the day after Thanksgiving weekend, when online Christmas shopping begins and merchants have their busiest sales day.
China has the world's biggest population of Internet users, with 538 million people online. Its population of online shoppers also is the biggest at 193 million, versus 170 million for the United States, according to Boston Consulting Group. It trails the U.S. and Japan in online spending but, despite average incomes less than one-tenth the American level, is forecast to rise to first place as early as 2015.
The Communist Party's latest five-year development plan calls for more than quadrupling annual e-commerce volume from 2010 levels to 18 trillion yuan ($2.9 trillion) by 2015. The party tries to block access to online material deemed subversive or pornographic but promotes Web use for business and education.
While the holiday focuses on singles, the online sales are not only geared at single people, and it has been likened to the "hallmark" holiday, from the Wall Street Journal:
The push as Chinese companies discover the potential sales to be made in corporate commemorations, otherwise known to Western greeting-card buyers as "Hallmark holidays" after the card maker.
In countries such as the U.S., holidays such as Valentine's Day or Father's Day have often been promoted as key occasions to splurge on a gift for a loved one. And holidays like these have helped propel consumer spending beyond Christmas, the biggest shopping season of the year in the U.S.
In China, where the government is keen to create willful spenders out of scrimping savers, holidays have been welcomed with open arms. Even the adoption of the shopping mall Santa and chocolate Easter-bunnies have been easy sells to the agnostic country looking to rev up cash register rings.
And not all consumers are buying into holidays like Singles Day either. One user of China's social networking site Sina Weibo wrote on his microblog that those who were actually single on Singles Day were lucky because they could opt out of these kinds of marketing gimmicks. "How about having a girlfriend who wakes you up to snap up deals on Taobao at midnight for Singles Day sales," he said.
Despite the success of the online retailers, there has been backlash from the Global Times criticizing the holiday for its 'crass consumerism':
It seems that Singles' Day is gradually turning into a carnival of shopping. With its commercialization, our focus has shifted from concern with single people to crass consumerism. We are used to the existence of a large number of singles and to celebrate Singles' Day with them.
But it is not a healthy social phenomenon for so many people to be living a single life. The increase in their numbers is a byproduct of rapid social development. Current society is fast-paced and high-pressured within which love is a time-consuming and high-cost activity for many young people. Inflation and sustained high housing prices increase the cost of marriage. These social problems make wedded bliss a luxury to those who lack financial security.
The era when marriages were arranged is long gone. People have more freedom to select their mates, but it is increasingly difficult for them to choose one because of material obstacles. Singles' Day shows a culture that is happily more tolerant toward singles but also reflects many people's helplessness at unaffordable marriages.
Merchants will search for other promotional tools after Singles' Day and the public's focus will move on. However, the social problems that singles are facing may soon be neglected. These problems should not be covered by commercialization of Singles' Day, but require long-term public attention and thought.

Sponsors Are Lining Up For The NHL's Feb. 20 Heritage Classic In Calgary
Published February 8, 2011
A NORTH AMERICAN TRADITION? ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun noted the gate revenue for the Heritage Classic "won't be as much" as it was for the Winter Classic "because there aren't as many seats" in McMahon Stadium. But the "corporate base has really jumped on board." Collins: "To really make the model work in these less than NFL or big-time baseball stadiums, sponsorships needs to really carry the day. I think the size of the sponsorship market and also the activation by the sponsors is going to be even bigger than the Winter Classic." LeBrun wrote it was a "no-brainer for the NHL to extend itself with two outdoor games," but it remains to be seen "whether or not having two games will dilute the product." Collins said, "I always resist the idea that the Winter Classic is a U.S.-only event, similarly now I'm going to resist the fact that the Heritage is just a Canadian event" (ESPN.com, 2/5).

Move over, Miss Cleo! There's a new psychic in town and he goes by the name of Lohanthony.
While his predictions weren't necessarily accurate — "You're going to be reincarnated as Beyoncé and Jay-Z's next child," he told one customer — he made a not so new of an announcement to another — "Oh, it's just like I thought: you're basic."
And although he's never been to a psychic IRL, Lohanthony confessed to being a believer.
"I'm obsessed with horoscopes, like if you go on my following lists on Twitter there's a bunch of like Gemini ones because I like to keep updated with that stuff," he said. "It will usually relate to the mood that I'm actually in, currently, I don't know how it does that, it's like always relating to what's going on, which is super weird."

Understanding Breast Cancer -- the Basics
Before discussing breast cancer, it's important to be familiar with the anatomy of the breast. The normal breast consists of milk-producing glands that are connected to the surface of the skin at the nipple by narrow ducts. The glands and ducts are supported by connective tissue made up of fat and fibrous material. Blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic channels to the lymph nodes make up most of the rest of the breast tissue. This breast anatomy sits under the skin and on top of the chest muscles...

Lerwick Harbour has again demonstrated its deep-water capacity and capabilities, this time by simultaneously accommodating two giant support vessels and the successful offloading of a 10,000 tonne subsea oil storage tank, destined for west of the Shetland Islands.
The sheltered port's facilities and proximity to the Solan Field, being developed by Premier Oil 90 kilometres into the Atlantic, meant is was perfectly placed for final preparation of the tank ahead of installation.
The tank was delivered to the port on 26 July from the construction yard in Dubai by Cosco (Chinese Ocean Shipping) Heavy Lift's transport vessel, Xiang Yun Kou.
One of the largest float-on/float-off vessels in the world, her displacement of 47,285 tonnes made the Xiang Yun Kou the biggest displacement tonnage ship to berth alongside at Lerwick, although not an alongside record-breaker for length and gross tonnage.
The port was also used by Heerema's semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV), Thialf, which spent 1.5 days mobilising before heading for Solan on 31 July, arriving next day to await the tank for installation. It was a return visit for the world's largest SSCV at 136,709 gross tonnes and 202 metres in length by 88 metres wide. Thialf has visited Lerwick previously, most recently last year.

Apple Extends Education Effort, Announces New Education Workshops
Apple Extends Education Effort, Announces New Education Workshops
by , 3:00 PM EDT, April 24th, 2001
Apple has announced a new education effort called Apple Teacher Institutes (not sure why institutes is plural). The Apple Teacher Institutes are a series of workshops that are designed to help teachers make technology work for them and help them in the classroom. According to Apple:
Apple® today announced the Apple Teacher Institutes, a series of hands-on technology workshops for K-12 educators across the United States and Canada this summer. Workshop participants will learn to effectively utilize technology to maximize planning and instructional time, expand their individual areas of expertise, engage an increasingly diverse student body, and discover new ways to individualize instruction.
"Apple understands the many challenges educators face today," said Cheryl Vedoe, Apple's vice president of Education Marketing and Solutions. "We want to give teachers the chance to use technology in an environment where they can explore, question, learn and then return to their classrooms feeling empowered."
The Apple Teacher Institutes will highlight the potential of digital media, the Internet, mobile and wireless computing and will be led by a team of educators who have effectively integrated these technologies into their classrooms.
The workshops will be held at the following locations this summer:
- July 14 - 18 -- University of California, Los Angeles
- July 15 - 19 -- University of British Columbia, Vancouver
- July 26 - 30 -- University of South Florida, Tampa
- July 26 - 30 -- University of Texas, Austin
- August 2 - 6 -- Lesley University, Boston
- August 3 - 7 -- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
- August 3 - 7 -- Northwestern University, Chicago
Apple will underwrite the cost of the seminar content and materials for all attendees. All K-12 teachers, regardless of grade level or subject area, are invited to attend.
You can find a ton of additional information, including registration information, at the new Apple Teacher Institutes Web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:Apple is turning up the heat on the education market, and this does not bode well for those who wish to stand in their way. We're looking at you, Dell. Apple has so clearly become refocused on meeting the needs of this vital sector, and we think they are headed in the right direction. Apple is meeting the efforts of companies like Dell who have looked to provide cheaper boxes by initiating efforts to provide better solutions. The company's purchase of PowerSchool, these new workshops, and the power of OS X are the kinds of things that will help propel Apple further into the classroom. In particular, these workshops are something that we have heard many educators say they want and need, and we would like to hear from educators in the comments below.

Yellowish smoke in Rancho determined not hazardous
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – Four buildings were evacuated in a commercial area on Arroyo Vista after a dark, yellowish smoke was seen coming out of the top of a business, officials said.
The smoke began coming out of an industrial building after workers began processing a chemical in an oven, said Capt. Dave Spencer of the Orange County Fire Authority. Three hours later, after analyzing the material, a hazmat crew determined there was no threat.
The smoke is believed to have taken on a yellowish color because of moisture in the air, Spencer said. Hazmat officials determined "there was no hazard," he said.
The smoke was spotted at 9:13 a.m. in the 22900 block of Arroyo Vista, said Capt. Steve Concialdi.
The business emitting the smoke was Magnaflow, a company that manufactures exhaust systems for vehicles.
That business was evacuated, Spencer said, as were three nearby buildings as a precaution. After 12 p.m., workers were allowed back into the businesses.
No injuries were reported.
Arroyo Vista between Avenida Empresa and Valerosa was closed to traffic during the investigation.
