A tech company called Envia Systems has announced that it is able to produce rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion, i.e., the standard kind of rechargeable batteries that go in everything from phones to electric cars) with a world-record energy density of 400 Watt-hours per kilogram! (Gigaom has lots of info, and useful background material.) Cool, right?
Yes? No?
Energy density is one of those really important concepts that not many people know about; it's not an exaggeration to say that a viable renewable energy future depends upon boosting energy density of batteries.
But it's hard to evaluate the importance of an announcement like this if you don't have context, so here you go:
Okay, 400 Watt-hours per kilogram (henceforth Wh/kg) means that one kilogram of battery material will be able to pump out electricity at a level of 400 Watts for one hour.
According to Envia, the best commercially-available Li-ion battery has an energy density of around 245 Wh/kg, so this new technology almost doubles that. This is good. Moreover, most Li-ion batteries operate at about 100-150 Wh/kg. The batteries in the Nissan Leaf, for example, have an energy density of about 120 Wh/kg (24 KWh/200kg). Tripling that density would, in principle, triple the range of the Leaf, taking it from around 100 miles to around 300 miles, a range close to a typical gasoline-powered car. This is very good.
But it's not revolutionary—it's a (significant) incremental improvement.
That's because, even at 400Wh/kg, batteries still don't have an energy density anywhere close to fossil fuels.
Gasoline offers somewhere around 12,000 Wh/kg, 30x the energy density of the Envia battery technology. A Nissan Leaf with the same mass of gasoline-equivalent superbatteries would have a range of around 9,000 miles. Alternatively, to get the same 300 mile range as with the Envia batteries, the Nissan SuperLeaf would only need around 3kg of batteries.
I'm not discounting the importance of this breakthrough, not by any means, but it's important to keep this in context. There's a good reason why petroleum has such a hold on the world of transportation, and it's going to take a lot more than a tripling of battery energy density to beat it. Or, more to the point, moving beyond the gasoline automobile is going to take more than simply chipping away at energy density comparisons—it's going to take a complete re-thinking of what we mean by transportation.
As has been pointed out to me, in comments and in direct communication (and with varying degrees of politeness), this isn't an entirely fair comparison. It would be more accurate to compare the combination of energy density + drive efficiency.
Most standard automobiles have an average internal combustion engine efficiency of around 20%—that is, of the energy available in the fuel, about 20% is eventually translated into motive force. So that 12,000 Wh/kg is effectively "only" 2,400 Wh/kg.
Electric motors, conversely, are extremely efficient at translating available energy into motive force; at 90%, that 400 Wh/kg Envia battery is still effectively 360 Wh/kg.
So a gasoline engine system 6.67x better than the Envia, not 30x better. The difference isn't as gobsmacking, but it's still significant, and remains a reminder of just how far battery technology has yet to evolve.
Energy density is important. But even if you have a Leaf with a 300 mile range, what really gets you is the recharge time. You can refuel your tank with gas in just a few minutes. Recharge times are typically measured in hours.
Now there are usage scenarios where that works out okay, typical commuting to work being one of them where you can recharge at night and/or while you're at work. But trying to take a Leaf on a cross-country drive would be a non-starter.
In the end this will work out. As petroleum fuels get more expensive and electric technologies improve, electric cars will find a niche and that niche will expand. We may even pull our collective heads out and build some long-distance rail infrastructure!

Conducting Courses
Instrumental Conducting Courses and Seminars – Peter Stark's renowned three-day courses are intensive, and focus on the individual. By operating in small groups (8 students maximum), emphasis is placed on observing individual skills and difficulties as demonstrated in workshop sessions. Communication, baton technique and posture (Alexander Technique included) are at the heart of the work. In 2016 Peter will also be running for the first time one-day seminars for those who wish to investigate the basics of conducting. Dates for 2016 are: Seminars 1, 2 & 3 – March 22nd, 23rd & 24th, 2016 Course 50 – 5th July until 7th July, 2016 Course 51 – 30th August until 1st September, 2016Book a Course or Seminar
Peter Stark
Passion for conducting, inspirational leadership and dedication to teaching define Peter Stark's career. An infectious spirit of adventure and the belief that music exists in everyone are at the heart of Peter's lifelong love of classical music and musicianship.
As evidenced by awards and accolades of excellence, Peter's vision of music for all inspires his work as mentor and professional, for example as Series Mentor to the BBC TV series Maestro (http://www.bbc.co.uk/musictv/maestro), and as Rehearsal Director to the European Union Youth Orchestra.
Peter remains dedicated to the advancement of sharing his vision. In addition to his professorship at the Royal College of Music, he was Coach and Conductor-in Residence-to the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain for 25 years.
This summer is full, even by the normal saturated standards! The central work with EUYO in Grafenegg, Austria is surrounded by courses in Derbyshire, Hertfordshire and a first with the Young Artists Festival as part of the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. Two conducting courses, both fully subscribed complete a holiday period with no time for mischief, and not much for relaxation!
Once the autumn term begins in September the new year at the Royal College of Music is interspersed with master classes at the China Conservatory in Beijing, and the State Conservatory of St Petersburg. There is also some time to fit in concerts with exciting repertoire, including one at the American International School of Guangzhou, China�
Lesson enquiries...
Individual sessions are available to anyone. These can be in either London or at my home near Fordingbridge in Hampshire. I am also very happy to teach using Skype so that you can apply for one wherever you are! A lesson should be booked usually about at least one month beforehand. If you would like to book a lesson, please� click here…

This was a very interesting recipe so I decided to try it. I'll have to say I was pleasantly surprised!!! I had to freeze it before serving to get it to a consistency to cut it and it not be runny, but I do live in the deep south where it stays warm, EVEN IN OCTOBER!! Flavor was good and kids liked it too. Thanks Fauve!

Wayne Rooney scored twice as Manchester United beat Roma 3-2 in their International Champions Cup opener in Denver on Saturday.
The England striker had netted a double in the 7-0 demolition of LA Galaxy in Louis van Gaal's first game as United boss in midweek and he was at it again as the Premier League side scored three goals in the space of 10 minutes at the end of the first half to stun the Serie A side.
United had looked vulnerable at the back with a three-man defence before Rooney opened the scoring with a sublime right-foot strike, and then set up Juan Mata for a superb second goal soon afterwards.
Rooney struck from the penalty spot to add the third - just as he did against the Galaxy - after Roma new boy Urby Emanuelson had upended Danny Welbeck in first-half stoppage time.
A packed crowd inside Sports Authority Field had been treated to two moments of sheer quality from Rooney and Mata for the opening goals, but there was even better to come after the break when Miralem Pjanic, once linked with United, pulled a goal back 15 minutes from time with an audacious lob from inside his own half, to leave United's substitute goalkeeper Ben Amos red-faced.
Francesco Totti pulled another goal back from the penalty spot with time running out, but United held on to make it two wins out of two for Van Gaal.
Roma had made a promising start as United looked uncertain with their new formation, playing three central defenders, and Mattia Destro almost caught them out when he raced onto a ball over the top and lobbed young goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, but the ball bounced down and over the crossbar.
Leandro Paredes then saw his free-kick deflected over the wall as United looked rattled and Alessandro Florenzi forced a save out of Johnstone with a left-footed strike from outside the penalty area after Destro had found space again.
It was United who took the lead with a goal out of nothing 10 minutes before the break, though, as Rooney was allowed too much time to line up a strike from 25 yards out that flashed into the far corner of the net.
The former Everton man then caught Roma out once again just over two minutes later when he picked out Mata with an incisive pass, the Spain midfielder finishing with a well-executed lob.
Rooney helped himself to a second goal on the stroke of half-time, sending the goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski the wrong way from the spot after Emanuelson had brought down Welbeck.
Roma were left with a mountain to climb, but Pjanic had the crowd on their feet with a sensational strike 15 minutes from time as he spotted Amos off his line and lobbed him from inside his own half.
Leandro Castan hit a post late on and then veteran Totti pulled another goal back from the spot after Michael Keane had been penalised for handball, but United stood firm to secure the victory and open their Group A campaign with a win.

The academy praised the Chinese writer for what it called his ��hallucinatoty realism (ħ����ʵ����)��. It noted his ability to combine folk stories, history and modern events in his works. An academy official said Mister Mo was ��overjoyed and sacred�� when he learnt he had won the award. He will receive his Nobel diploma, a medal and more than one million dollars at the ceremony in Stockholm in December. Mo Yan is a leading author of modern Chinese novels. He often writes from memories of his youth. He also sets many of his stories in the area where he was born��Shandong Province in northeastern China. Mister Mo��s 1987 book Red Sorghum is an example. It is about the extreme violence in rural eastern China during the Communist Revolution in the 1920��s and 1930��s. The story describes the criminal culture of the time, Japan��s occupation and the terrible conditions faced by farm workers. Red Sorghum was later made into a movie. Mo Yan��s other major works include Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Republic of Wine and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. The Royal Swedish Academy compared him to two 20th century writers: American William Faulkner and
Colombia Gabriel Marquez. Mo Yan��s real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan means ��Don��t speak.�� The writer said he chose the name to remember to stop his tongue from getting him in trouble. China is celebrating the victory of his native son. Minutes after the award was announced, millions of Chinese expressed pleasure and pride for Mo Yan on social media websites. 56. How many books of Mo Yan are mentioned in this passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 57. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. many people in China showed their respect for Mo Yan by letters. B. Mo Yan is just a pen name. C. he was very glad to win the Nobel Prize. D. Red Sorghum was once made into a film. 58.

C As they migrate, butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may use some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind. Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights. To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes. Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(����, �ֲ�). Many migrating birds do the same thing. The study also found that butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help farmers decide when to spray their crops. 63. What's the main idea of the text? A. Insects migrate with the seasons. B. The wind helps insects greatly in migrating. C. Windsurfing insects have real direction. D. Scientists have trouble in observing insects. 64. Scientists originally thought that _____. A. insects always waited for their favorable winds B. insects chose the winds they wanted to ride C. insects were just blown about by the wind
D. insects positioned themselves in the winds 65. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ______. A. the little creatures can fly very fast B. their flight is long and high above ground C. the wind's direction is hard to forecast D. they have no regular migrating courses 66. According to the passage, the findings can ____ A. increase insects in number B. instruct farmers when to spray their crops C. prevent climate warming D. help protect insects D ��To be or not to be.�� Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: ��I think, therefore I am.�� But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: ��To be is to be in relations.�� If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(ǿ��) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(ɢ��), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead. On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(�ɾ�) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest. Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(����, ��Լ����) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. If you��re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination. To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live! 67. What does the author mainly want to do by this passage? A. Argue against an idea. B. Explain some famous sayings. C. Introduce some famous sayings. D. Put forward an idea. 68. What does the underlined word most probably mean? A. Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination. B. Somebody who is always interested in making new friends. C. Somebody who always expects the worst to happen. D. Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.
69. Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author? A. Thinking more than your own business. B. Caring only about your physical welfare. C. Reading good novels. D. Listening to fine music. 70. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To be is to be in relations. B. I think, therefore I am. C. To be or not to be, that is a question. D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend. �ڶ��ڣ��� 5 С�⣻ÿС�� 2 �֣����� 10 �֣� ���ݶ������ݣ��Ӷ��ĺ��ѡ����ѡ��������հ״������ѡ�ѡ����������Ϊ����ѡ� ___71___ This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall. ___72___ He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. ___73___ This was the first hostel (�����д���). Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. ___74___ Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period�� ___75___ For this reason, a few weeks spent ��hostelling�� can be just as useful a part of one��s education as classes in school. A. In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation. B. People can stay in the hostel if they brought enough equipment with them. C. One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places. D. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. E. For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe seldom left their cities to see the beauties of the countryside. F. More and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays. G. This card will permit them to stay in a hostel all over the world for very low prices.

������� ���ģ� Dear Li Ming, You��re very kind to care about your classmates. It is important for everyone to keep good eyesight. Now I will give you some advice on how to protect your eyesight. To begin with, don't keep your eyes working for a long time. You'd better have a rest by looking in the long distance after you have studied an hour or so. Then, pay attention to the following: Don't read in the sun or in a poor light; don't read in bed or in a moving bus. And when you read you should keep the book away from your eyes for about a foot. Furthermore, do eye-exercises every day. It will also help you keep good eyesight. And finally, you��d better not rub your eyes with your hands; and it is bad for your eyesight if you wear colored glasses. I hope my advice will be helpful to you and your classmates.

Top Traveller Review
Excellent holiday escape
The location is perfect - overlooking a private lawn/pool area with views through towards the river and the town. It's only a few minutes walk to the marina, town, train station, Meia Praia beach... and the very handy Pingo Doce supermarket!
The apartment faces south-west so is also lovely and bright and sunny.
The large balcony has plenty of room for sitting out, sunbathing or eating when it's warm.
It's well equipped inside - two decent sized bedrooms, lovely family shower as well as the ensuite. The galley kitchen looks through into the lounge/diner area so it's good and sociable for cooking. TV reception was a bit erratic a few times but mostly good, plus the choice of channels/films was great and the wi-fi connection was excellent.
This is a really good holiday base.

Topic: Hmph! (03/04/10)
TITLE: The Hissy Fit
By Brenda Shipman
We were fresh out of college, newly married, and transplanted from sunny Arizona to the San Francisco Bay area. Greg, my husband, was in his first year of dental school, and I was teaching third grade in a Christian school, earning a whopping $9,600 a year. Needless to say, we were dirt poor.
We splurged and bought a couch we could afford, an orange and green plaid seventies throwback from St. Vincent de Paul. Bookshelves consisted of concrete blocks and wood slats; our kitchen dinette set was a card table and four chairs, on loan from a generous uncle. Our weekly grocery budget was $30, and if it ever went over that by even a few cents, I�d always put something back.
Greg stayed busy with the daily commute by train into San Francisco, classes and clinical work, and a boatload of homework. My days were filled with teaching, grading papers, making lesson plans and cooking dinner each night. We were so happy as newlyweds that we hardly noticed our meager handful of household goods.
Being a wife and homemaker was a dream come true for me and I had great fun nesting with our sparse collection of furniture. Still, I kept a �bonus� prayer list of items that I wanted, but didn�t necessarily need: a floor lamp, plant stand, and the biggie � a dining room table and chairs. I watched in amazement when someone gave us a plant stand and then later, a floor lamp.
One Saturday, we got a call from a kindergarten teacher I worked with. Edie said, �Brenda, Dan and I are getting a new dining room set and are selling our old one. Would you and Greg be interested in buying it?�
What?! I could hardly contain my joy as I replied confidently, �Of course we would, Edie! Let me just talk to Greg and I�ll call you right back.�
I hung up the phone, raced into the living room where Greg was studying, and nearly shouted the good news. He listened carefully, then hesitated before saying, �Bren, even if Edie is selling it for $25 we just cannot afford it right now. Sorry.�
Being the sweet submissive wife that I was back then, I calmed exploded, I mean replied with, �What?! I�ve had a dining room set on my prayer list for months. This is an answer to prayer!�
�Sorry, Bren. You�re just going to have to call Edie back and tell her no.�
I think a demon took full possession of my body in that moment. Fireworks shot from my eyes and I had to hold onto my head to keep it from spinning as I stomped off with a very loud, �Hmph!�
I decided the kitchen needed a thorough cleaning, immediately! I set about tossing dishes, slamming pots and pans, muttering curses at my husband because he was obviously thwarting God�s wonderful plans for my life, which I was convinced included a dining room set.
Hearing the carnage coming from the kitchen, Greg said he was going to go wash the car (unspoken message � get the heck out of Dodge and allow me some �space� to throw my hissy fit). He stayed gone all afternoon, while I cried out my disappointment through angry frustrated tears. I finally got up the nerve to call Edie back with the horrible news.
�Edie,� I said with trembling voice, �um, Greg and I just cannot afford to buy the dining room set right now. Thanks so much for the offer, anyway.� I could barely keep it together on the phone.
Then came the bombshell that shattered my pity party all to pieces.
�Brenda, Dan and I have talked about it and we have decided to GIVE you and Greg the set.�
I sat there in stunned silence until Edie finally said, �Brenda? Is that ok with you guys?�
�Yes�yes! I just can�t believe it. Thank you so much.�
Greg came home awhile later and I sheepishly told him the news. He simply smiled, and said, �Wow.�
I have never forgotten how God answered my prayer far beyond what I could ever have imagined. While I was throwing my tantrum, God had been working in the hearts of the givers to lavish this gift upon us.
I think that is called grace.

LED technology continues to improve, and these impressive lights are testament to how far they've come. PUTCO has produced a remarkable headlight element, and these should be the last my car will ever need. The diodes are designed to exactly match the position of the original halogen filaments, and their neutral white light cuts through the night like nothing I've driven before, illuminating signage along the road from great distances. "Silver Lux" indeed. Highly recommended.

If you change the metadata or rules then the status of the companies should change to OK SC. If it doesn't, then there may be a bug in the system. Please check support.oracle.com is there were no new patches/updates to your version of HFM.

The Grommet turns 8 years old today! We're celebrating with a new infographic about what we—our Makers, our community, our customers, our Retailers, and The Grommet Team—have helped accomplish, together.
& give small businesses a boost.
The Grommet turns 8 years old today! We're celebrating with a new infographic about what we—our Makers, our community, our customers, our Retailers, and The Grommet Team—have helped accomplish, together.
Everyday we launch brand new products from Makers and there's only one place to see them live: Snapchat. Follow 'thegrommet' or scan the Snapcode below in the app to see behind the scenes footage, exclusive sneak peeks at future products, and daily launches in action.
Here's a taste of what you're in for. Continue Reading
With Mother's Day coming up, we thought we'd showcase a few overachieving moms who run their own businesses—selling products they make themselves.
Maker: Jamey Allsop
Allsop Home & Garden is known for its elegant, festive solar-powered lights—perfect indoors or out. Father-daughter duo Jim and Jamey Allsop started the company to innovate a better wheelbarrow, but their lights are what really caught our eye. Learn More
Maker: Lauren Wimmer
Since launching her jewelry line in 2003, New York designer Lauren Wimmer has made a name for herself in museums and specialty stores around the world, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Bergdorf Goodman, The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and of course, right here on The Grommet, first with a collection of hand-dyed, silk-wrapped statement pieces, and now with an artful new take on a timeless favorite—the ID pendant.

After spending the past few weeks on the road (with stops at Atlanta's AmericasMart and the Dallas Market, and an upcoming LA Mart exhibit), our team is soon headed to exhibit at NY NOW. Our first Wholesale exhibit at NY NOW was last August (see the recap here), and we're excited to be back for the winter market.
Our team will be on-site featuring a curated selection of products across several categories; each created by independent Makers. We're looking forward to connecting with Main Street Retailers from across the country and sharing the stories behind our products with them. Attendees will be able to browse and shop The Grommet Wholesale from the showroom floor of NY NOW™.
The Grommet Wholesale Exhibit January 31 - February 4, 2015
Booth NC1 (in the north concourse lobby)
The Grommet Co-Founder and Chief Discovery Officer, Joanne Domeniconi will speak during Seminar: Modern-Day Matchmaking Redux: Tech Tools for 21st Century Makers Sunday, February 1, 12:00 Noon, Javits Center, 1A02-03
Moderated by Susan Szenasy, publisher and editor of METROPLOIS, this seminar features several other big players of the Maker Movement.
Evan Cohen is the self-described "handy man" of IndieGogo's operation, helping educate and empower Makers through crowdfunding. Matthew Burnett heads Maker's Row, providing independents Makers with a manufacturing network across the United States. And Ashley Etling helped establish Red Clay Design, connecting Makers and retailers with award-winning designers.
Together they form a Maker super-team of sorts and they'll be sitting together in one room on Super Bowl Sunday, no less. There, you can learn how the Maker Movement is being elevated from the people leading the charge.
Follow us on Instagram for more photos from the showroom floor and be sure to follow NY NOW on Instagram (you just might spot us posting there too).
If you're a retailer, you can learn more about The Grommet Wholesale here: The Grommet Wholesale
We're hitting the road! The Grommet Wholesale Exhibit is coming to Atlanta's AmericasMart this week. Americas Mart is "The Nations #1 Product Destination" so it's only fitting that our Wholesale Team will be on-site featuring a curated selection of Grommets across several product categories; each created by independent Makers. Attendees with be able to browse and shop The Grommet Wholesale from the showroom floor. For Retailers, this means the chance to get a first-look (and hands on experience) at forty new and innovative products that have launched on The Grommet (scroll for a sneak peek below).
Our partnership with AmericasMart gives Retailers an opportunity to experience our curated discovery platform for browsing and buying new-to-market products. It's also a chance for us to meet you in person, and share the stories behind our Makers' products. In fact, meeting you will likely be our most memorable part, so we hope you stop by. Let's connect at the show.
You'll find our booth in building 3, Floor 2, Booth 900 (next to the food court)
If you're a Retailer, you can learn more about The Grommet Wholesale here: The Grommet Wholesale and register for AmericasMart here: AmericasMart (you might also want to check out these tips for attending the show).
Here's a sneak peek at some of Makers who will be attending the show. Learn about their products the stories behind them:
On Wednesday, May 28th, The Grommet launched OoO Tie, modern bow ties with quirky, unique designs. These ties were created by two friends in Boston who wanted to show off their intellectual sides while adding some flair and creativity to their sense of style.
Since these tie designs brought out the inventive side in our community, we decided to hold a fun contest where the founders asked what type of designs our supporters wanted to see created. Ideas ranged from nautical themes to fish and robots. It wasn't an easy decision, but the founders chose a winning design and have spent the last few months turning it into a real life bow tie. Angela Matusik, an archeologist from Orlando, Florida thought it would be cool to see petroglyphs on a bow tie and the founders loved the idea.
We recently attended NY NOW™ where we set up our Wholesale Exhibit and brought along several of our Makers to showcase their products, giving Retailers an opportunity to learn about them directly from the Makers themselves.
The show saw over 3,500 visitors in just the first day and our exhibit was in constant motion with Makers and Retailers connecting over the new and innovative products lining our shelves. We're we so excited to meet so many Main Street Retailers. Our favorite interaction of the day just might be when speaking to one Retailer, she told us: "It's like fate that we just met you. Your products are exactly what I'm looking for."
It's a great feeling connecting Retailers with our Makers and the grins on our Makers faces speak volumes. They are enjoyed the show just as much as we did.
Here at The Grommet, our MO is to support up-and-coming entrepreneurs and new to market products. But we aren't the only ones on a mission to help Makers.
Shannon Whitehead is the Founder of Factory45, a new accelerator program that gives independent makers the resources to start sustainable businesses in the USA.
I was lucky enough to interview Shannon and learn more about this new initiative, what she see's in the Maker landscape and why she felt compelled to start Factory45.
In 2010 I co-founded {r}evolution apparel, a sustainable clothing company for female travelers and minimalists. We launched a Kickstarter campaign at the end of 2011 for our signature piece, the Versalette, one garment that can be worn over 20 different ways. We became the highest-funded fashion project in Kickstarter history at that time and were featured in The New York Times, Forbes.com, WSJ.com and Yahoo! News.
In the beginning of 2013, I started a small consulting company to help other designers and sustainable apparel brands launch and grow their own businesses. Realizing that I most enjoy working with startups, I launched an accelerator program at the beginning of April called Factory45. Starting on June 2nd, I'll be working with 10 people, for six months, to launch sustainable businesses in the USA. (Applications are open now until April 28, 2014.)
One of the ways The Grommet extends the concept of Citizen Commerce is by pursuing new opportunities for our Makers. Seeing them grow their businesses and succeed is the main objective. We're very excited to share our collaboration with the iconic Japanese lifestyle brand BEAMS and to share with you the collection of Grommets their team selected to be offered for sale through Rakuten Ichiba.
BEAMS is well known in Japan for its carefully curated product selections. They have 30 different brands, and each one features beautifully designed retail shops that are merchandised by the look and feel of the products, making shopping a comfortable and delightful experience. They offer men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories, as well as home goods, luggage and music.
We always say that when our Makers succeed, we succeed. This is an integral part of our mission so when one of our Makers hits a milestone, we shout it from the rooftops and when they need support, we shout that as well.
We couldn't be happier to see all the success that our Maker, Hickies has received over the past few years and they recently announced venture capital funding to grow their business even further. This is big news for them, but also for the consumer products industry as a whole since VC funding for those involved in the Maker Movement is less common. Hopefully this signals a shift in the industry and the interest of VC firms.

ROBERT J. COLEMAN, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD OF REVIEW, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review in case of In Re: Claim of Robert J. Coleman, No. B-163169.
J. Hugh O'Donnell, for petitioner.
Charles G. Hasson, Assistant Attorney General, with him Edward G. Biester, Jr., Acting Attorney General, for respondent.
Judges Rogers, DiSalle and Craig, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
[ 47 Pa. Commw. Page 114]
Robert J. Coleman here appeals from a decision of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review upholding a referee's denial of benefits. The referee held that Coleman had been discharged from his employment for his willful misconduct. Section 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law, Act of December 5, 1936, Second Ex. Sess., P.L. (1937) 2897, as amended, 43 P.S. § 802(e).
All of the facts were developed by Coleman's testimony; his employer didn't appear. Coleman was working as a tractor trailer driver for Industrial Metals for about three months. During this time, he was involved in two traffic accidents. In the first one, he struck the rear of another truck, causing no damage to his employer's truck and only very minor damage to the other vehicle. The second accident occurred when on a wet day Coleman's brakes failed while he was attempting to pass a slow-moving trash truck. Coleman's vehicle struck the rear of the trash
[ 47 Pa. Commw. Page 115]
truck and came into contact with the side of another tractor trailer travelling in the passing traffic lane. Coleman received and paid a traffic citation for the second accident. He was also discharged from his employment.
It is settled that an employee's negligence does not constitute willful misconduct unless it is of "'such degree or recurrence as to manifest culpability, wrongful intent, or evil design, or show an intentional and substantial disregard of the employer's interest or of the employee's duties and obligations to the employer.'" Harmer Unemployment Compensation Case, 206 Pa. Superior Ct. 270, 272, 213 A.2d 221, 223 (1965) (quoting 48 Am. Jur. Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, and Retirement Funds § 38 (1943)). In Coulter v. Unememployment Compensation Board of Review, 16 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 462, 466, 332 A.2d 876, 879 (1975), we wrote:
A single dereliction or a minor and casual act of negligence or carelessness does not constitute willful misconduct. Rather, it is a series of accidents, attributable to negligence, occurring periodically and with consistent regularity, which produce substantial financial loss to the employer which will support the conclusion that an employe is guilty of willful misconduct. (Emphasis added.)
Schappe v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 38 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 249, 392 A.2d 353 (1978) is also instructive; there we held that an employee who had two accidents within a 30-day period each of which resulted in substantial financial loss to the employer was properly held to have been guilty of willful misconduct. We observed in Schappe, moreover, that the controlling issue was whether the driver's negligence demonstrated intentional or substantial disregard for his employer's interests.
[ 47 Pa. Commw. Page 116]
In this case, there is no evidence of the extent of financial loss to Coleman's employer in either accident. Indeed, the first accident in which he was involved seems to have been the occasion for no more than insignificant loss, if any. While the second accident was more serious and the payment of a fine is some evidence of poor driving, we believe that under all of the facts, which include a wet road and faulty brakes, the holding that Coleman was guilty of willful misconduct was erroneous. The evidence did not demonstrate intentional disregard of his employer's interests.
We therefore reverse and remand for benefits.
And Now, this 30th day of October, 1979, the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review is reversed and the record is remanded to the Board for calculation of benefits.
Reversed and remanded.

Evelyn Tester is sleepwalking through her suburban life - until a late-night phone call startles her awake. Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn't alone.
Suddenly Evelyn's world isn't as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband's secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn's marriage. Although it's a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent - even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair.
But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette's picture-perfect life - complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband - the more she yearns for revenge...and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out?

"Not a Thriller/Mystery"
This would best be suited for someone who likes romance books.
Probably not, the concept sounded great, but it just fell short.
This narrator just sounded like a kindergarten teacher. It would have been better to have someone with a bit more personality.
The book wasn't bad, the problem I had was with the narration.
"like comfort food..."
Found it to be a relaxing and exciting read. One that any 40 something woman could appreciate. Well worth the read.
"Not a good read"
Too much sex. Not enough story line. Same dialog over and over Couldn't make myself finish it.
"Loved the Trick"
I loved the storytelling trick of the Before and After. It just seemed like about 2/3 of the way through the Before sections just got in the way. That said, I'm a murder mystery detective girl, and I loved this. It had just enough slow reveal while keeping me engaged. It was hot and steamy and intriguing and desperate. It was almost like she was writing the nightmare of every housewife. Great read. Great narration. The only drawback was the boredom of the Before chapters towards the end slowing the progression of the action.
"emotional drama"
I thought this was about a murder, but it's all about an affair. if you like that kind of stuff the narrator is good . personally, it's not my taste.
I wish that there was more dire consequences to the actions of everyone involved. The way it is it reads like a movie of the week.
It's pretty much how I thought it would end, predictable ending.
I haven't had the pleasure.
"Shallow story, tedious pace"
This is the standard story about a husband who has an affair and the wife who wants revenge. For an author who has written several books, I expected more mature writing with a better storyline. I gave up halfway through after hearing about her public hair at least five times and her frumpy middle-aged body more times than I wanted to. The story dragged and had no substance. At times, the narrator sounded almost robotic. I hate to give bad reviews, but this one is just not worth the money you'll spend.
Resides in Elkton, M.D. (but my heart belongs in Upstate, N.Y.)
"Waking Up"
The way she , and SHE alone got her self worth back!
When she confronted Juliet
The very last moment in the book!
The first romantic scene between Evelyn and Noah
I did
Good book, for night time reading, Check it out 😁
An avid book reader who absolutely loves having the opportunity to carry my favorite books everywhere I go and listen to them anytime I want

This is my first book by Victoria Stone. From the first chapter, I was hooked. A successful psychiatrist finds himself at the mercy of his wife after being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Two couples who do not know each other find themselves forever entangled as lies and deceit weaves its way through their lives. Compounded with a suspiciously death and you have a great book.
It moves graciously from present to past but you can easily follow as their are not that many subjects in the story.
I did not however like the end of the book. All this suspense has been laid out and you think the end will be thrilling. But it just kinds slows down and mentions how everyone's life moved all. There could have been a huge dramatic ending, but maybe the writer lost interest. I was disappointed.
All in all I would recommend it.

If you check out the CRACKED forums, you'll notice a lot of heated debate about "Sin," the proprietor of the defunct tv-links domain, having his site shut down and being sued for copyright infringement. In case you hadn't guessed or are pretending not to be an accomplice, tv-links used to post links to thousands of hours of up-to-date TV shows and movies, all for your viewing pleasure (and a tidy advertising profit). First of all, if you don't want to look suspicious, don't name yourself Sin. It can only refer to a base act of human corruption or the world-devouring monster from Final Fantasy X, and neither association is going to help your public image much. Secondly, as that forums thread proves, there is a lot of controversy among Internet citizens about the ethics of the case, all of it centered around complex metaphors that don't hold much water. The debate goes something like this:
Sin is aiding and abetting the crime of copyright infringement, and is therefore suable. He's like a drug dealer. He may not make the drugs, but he sells them.
No, Sin only linked videos posted by others. He's like a guy who tells you where you can go to get drugs, but you don't get them from him.
But he made money off the service. He's like a guy who you pay to tell you where the best place in the city to get drugs is.
But, no! Wait, he's...wait for it...he's like...a guy that...makes videos, but then he shows the videos...no he just describes the videos...but then he makes a filesharing linksite.
From these arguments, only two reasonable conclusions can be drawn:
1. The new season of Heroes is as addictive as crack cocaine.
2. Gang members are missing out on the huge profit-making potential of "guy you pay to tell you where to find a drug dealer."
As neither are very helpful, I'm going to try my best to put this whole thing in perspective. Shocking revelation after the jump.
Yes, what tv-links did is wrong.
Maybe or maybe not technically illegal, but "wrong" in the sense that you felt the little thrill of piracy every time you loaded up that episode of The Office you missed last night, or that episode of Weeds, even though you don't have Shotime.
And yes, the outcome of this lawsuit will set important precedents about cases like this; cases where, it's true, the culprit did little more than give directions to a place where one may commit a crime. As one Forums poster named Rambo put it: "This is like arresting the guy at the gas station who gave directions to a bank robber." And in some sense that's true, although I'm not sure I should trust the opinion of a man who kills people with a bow and arrow.
But the key point here that the RIAA and those who make TV should be gathering is that Sin ran a successful site off of linked television shows. He made money off it. For a long time. Because he provided something people want. Fighting trends like that is what's killing the music industry, and you'll fare no better. It's time to shift some paradigms, folks. Either that, or start suing Youtube and Google video, who essentially do the exact same thing, just with a more circuitous user interface.
I, the lone anonymous consumer, want to be able to watch South Park on my computer, and you, the massive multinational corporation, want me to not be able to do that. I hate to break it to you, but for once, I am going to get what I want one way or another. You'd just better make sure that "or another" involves a modest subscription fee or some Google Ads on NBC.com.
As both a public service and an illustration of my point, here is a link to the Digg comments about all this, which contain literally tens of links to still operating tv-links-esque compiler sites. So metaphorically I'm giving you directions to a store that sells maps to places where you can find people who will tell you where to get drugs. If CRACKED gets raided tomorrow, you'll know why.
Rabid debate to follow below.
