wikiHow to Build Confidence in Young Girls
Four Methods:Showing Them That You Have Confidence in ThemBoosting Their Self-EsteemHandling Concerns about Fitting InModeling Confidence Through Your Own BehaviorCommunity Q&A
With all the attention society places on looking a certain way, wearing a certain thing, and even playing certain games, young girls may feel unsure of themselves or have low self-esteem. Whether you are a parent, teacher, mentor, or friend, you can build confidence in young girls, however. You just need to show them that you believe in them, boost their self-esteem, handle concerns they might have about fitting in, and model confident behavior.
Showing Them That You Have Confidence in Them
1Give them positive feedback. One of the best things you can do to build confidence in young girls is to let them know that you have faith in them.[1] But don't just tell them a generic 'good job' or 'way to go'. Hearing someone give them specific positive feedback on a regular basis can help boost young girls self-esteem and their confidence.[2]
- Specific positive feedback lets young girls know what they did right so that they can do it again.
- Tell them often that you are proud of their effort or of them making a good decision. Or tell them that you admire their determination and courage.
- For example, you might say, "Hey, Mariole, I just want you to know that you it was really brave of you to stand up for Robert. That took a lot of courage!"
- Or, for instance, you could say, "Deborah, you showed a lot of effort in your basketball game tonight! I'm glad you won!"
2Support their interests. You can build confidence in young girls by showing them that the things they are interested in are worthwhile and important to you.[3] So, ask about their interests and whenever you can make an effort to support them.
- Talk to them about the things they are interested in. For example, try saying, "How are things going with the swim team?"
- Attend concerts, performances, recitals, and other events to show your support. It boosts confidence to see a smiling face in the crowd.
- If you can't attend events, then help them prepare for it. For example, if you can't make their music performance, help pick out their outfit.
3Encourage them to speak up. This lets them know you have confidence in their opinions and their ability to express it the right way. And the more often girls get to voice their opinion and make their own decisions, the more confident they will feel making decisions and expressing how they feel about something. This can help them in situations of bullying or peer pressure.[4]
- Ask their opinion about things that are going on. You could say, for example, "How do you feel about the new rule at school about locker time?"
- Encourage young girls to speak up when they think something is wrong or don't agree with it.
- For instance, you might say, "It's okay to say so when you think that someone is doing something wrong."
4Provide confidence-building experiences. The more opportunities young girls have to succeed and reach their goals, the more confidence they will have. Create chances for them to engage in activities like team sports that will boost their confidence.[5]
- Girls that participate in team sports like softball, basketball, or soccer have been found to be more confident than young girls that do not.
- Encourage their creativity. Ask them to draw a picture for you and then frame it. Hang it in a prominent place where they can see other people admire their artwork.
- Play a game with them. Allow them to win the first time or two. Then, with each time, play more seriously to challenge them and increase their confidence.
- For instance, you might play softball together and stand really close the first few times you pitch the ball. Then gradually pitch from further distances until you are on the mound.
Boosting Their Self-Esteem
1Teach them how to boost their own self-esteem. This might be the most important thing you can do to build confidence in young girls. Talk to them about ways to feel confident and sure of themselves.
- Tell them about positive self-talk and give them an example. Encourage them to use positive self-talk on a regular basis.
- You might say, "Try using kind words with yourself. You could tell yourself that you are smart."
- Talk to them about celebrating their own successes. Explain that feeling proud of something you put a lot effort into isn't the same as bragging.
- For example, you could try, "You should feel proud of accomplishments. It's not bragging to feel confidence in your work."
2Promote positive socializing. Young girls, like youth of all ages, like spending time with their peers and socializing is an important part of their development. But, make sure that the peers are supportive and encouraging in order to build confidence in young girls.[6]
- If you are a parent of a young girl, then get to know who her friends are and who their parents are.
- For example, accompany your daughter to a play date and stay for a while to see how the kids interact and to meet the other parents.
- If you are a teacher or mentor then try to encourage positive interactions between young girls and their peers.
- Remind young girls and their friends to tell each other things like "That took a lot of determination" or "That was really creative".
3Teach problem-solving skills.Instead of trying to solve their problems for them, you can build confidence in young girls if you teach them to think critically and solve their own problems.[7]
- Talk about using the resources they have around them to help them solve problems.
- For example, looking at anchor charts in the classroom when completing classwork or using a dictionary when they read a word they don't understand.
- Explain that trying to work things out on your own is brave, but it's also brave to ask for help when you need it.
- For instance, you might say, "You have great problem-solving skills. One of those skills is knowing when to ask for help."
4Encourage them to try new things. Sometimes young girls may be afraid to try things that may be seen as typically boy activities like sports or model building. But, you can build young girls' confidence if you encourage them to try new things that interest them, even if they aren't traditional 'girl' activities.[8]
- For example, it's okay for a girl to like to go skateboarding and to enjoy playing with dolls.
- Expose young girls to a variety of things like hockey, knitting, poetry, song-writing, skiing, or building dollhouses.
- Remind them that it takes courage to try something new. You might say, "You should be proud of yourself! It takes a lot of courage to try a new thing."
Handling Concerns about Fitting In
1Help keep looks in perspective. Young girls can be just as obsessed with their looks as tweens and teens.[9] Remind young girls that it is good to try to look your best, but your personality, and the way you treat people matter a lot more.
- Complement them on their skills and abilities as much as you do their looks.
- For example, you might say, "You look very nice in that outfit, Angeletta. The yellow matches your friendly personality."
- Allow them to express their personal style and take pride in their appearance.
- For example, if you are a parent, let them pick out their own clothes and hairstyle every once and a while.
2Tell them to always be themselves. Even at a young age, the media and peer pressure can influence how girls feel about themselves. You can build confidence in young girls by remind them that they are great just the way they are.
- You might say, "No matter what anyone might say, always remember that you're wonderful just the way you are."
- Or, you could try, "Don't ever feel the need to do something just to seem cool or to be popular. You are cool just being you."
- Remind them that it's okay to be different. You could say, "Everyone is different in some way and that's what makes the world a wonderful place."
3Teach them about healthy living. Young girls can develop eating disorders because of a negative self-image. In turn, the eating disorder may reinforce their negative feelings about their appearance. You can build confidence in young girls by teaching them about being healthy.
- Talk to them about selecting healthy snacks when they have the chance, like fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Remind them to drink water instead of drinks that are high in sugar or caffeine. For example, you could say, "Water is good for your body and is healthier than a soda."
- Explain that getting enough sleep will help them feel happier and look more energized. You might tell them, "You think better and feel better about yourself when you have enough rest."
Modeling Confidence Through Your Own Behavior
1Set a good example in difficult situations. Modeling behaviors and attitudes that show confidence is one way to build confidence in young girls. It gives them an example to use for their own behavior and approaches to situations.[10] It also builds their confidence by showing them that they are important enough for you to care about how you act around them.
- If you find yourself in an aggravating situation, show them how to handle it maturely and appropriately.
- For example, if someone cuts in front of you in line, don't start yelling or arguing. Instead, politely and calmly address the situation.
- Or, for instance, if you are frustrated you might model calming yourself down.
- You could say, "I need to calm down. I'm going to take a few deep breaths and take a break to clear my head."
2Show them how to accept their bodies. Whether you are also a female or not, you can model body acceptance to help build confidence in young girls.[11] You can model acceptance of your own body if you are a female. If you are a male you can still show acceptance and appropriate appreciation for different body types.
- Talk about the images you see in the media. For example, say things like, "What do you think about that ad? Was that realistic?"
- Make a point of complimenting women of all shapes and sizes. For example, you might say, "She looks really healthy and happy."
- Emphasis that being healthy is more important than looking a certain way or wearing a certain size.
- Point out that it's okay to have flaws. If you're a woman, you can make comments like, "My nose is a little crooked. I like the character it gives my face!"
- Compliment features that aren't physical. For instance, "She is really intelligent and witty. I like her creativity."
3Model healthy living for them. You can help young girls build confidence by modeling a healthy attitude toward food, getting physical activity, and getting enough sleep. Showing girls what to do helps them see that it can be done and how they can do it themselves.
- Invite them out for something physical like a swim, bike ride, or martial arts class. Make sure you are getting physical activity on a regular basis, too.
- Eat healthy food and occasionally enjoy a treat. Show young girls how to avoid categorizing food as 'good' or 'bad'.
- For example, you might say, "I'm going to have a grilled chicken salad, but I'll leave some room for a slice of key lime pie."
- Show them that it's okay to enjoy food and eat until you are full just like it's okay to relax and do nothing every once in a while.
4Demonstrate the difference between confidence and arrogance. Sometimes it's good to show young girls the different between being confident and being arrogant or stuck up. You can build appropriate confidence in young girls by demonstrating how to be proud of yourself without taking it too far.
- For example, if you completed a project for work, you might say "I worked hard on this" to show that you are confident in your work.
- Then you might say, "I'd be bragging if I kept talking about how awesome my project was and how great I am."
- Show them how to accept a compliment graciously. For instance, if someone says you look nice, you could say, "Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My sunroof is leaking into the floor on the driver side and backseat. on 2002 Volkswagen Jetta
I have a sunroof leak into the car floor on the driver side and backseat. I was quoted $700 just in labor to find out what exactly is going on, plus$ for parts once they find what needs to be fixed. Does that sound reasonable?Does anyone have a similar problem and did it get fixed?
| |
Try looking in the track the sunroof rides in first, for dirt and debris. Clean and remove as needed, There is a drain that the water is supposed to follow and exit the car at the bottom of the quarter panels. if these are plugged water will back up and enter your car in a way your describing. You may also be ablt to blow a little compressed air in the channels to open the drains. If your sunroof isn't closing well or the weather strips are in poor condition this my help but won't fix your problem.

Here's one from someone with a mind curiously akin to those who write Killer Hobbies:
Dainty Bride
Scratchy whiskers
Burma Shave
Perhaps because my brain seems to be functioning on maybe half its cylinders, I'm having some trouble coming up with the twist I need to conclude the plot of Eye for an Eye. But it'll happen – so far it always has.
My friend Tanya finished stitching the many-shades bouquet of red and pink roses from a counted cross stitch pattern onto canvas and now it's my job to stitch the ground. This will eventually be the seat of the old chair I bought in London back around 1967. A sort-of problem I have is that it's so lovely and the product of so many hours of work that I may not allow anyone to sit on it.
We're having a bit of a scare in our place right now. Ellen woke up Thursday with severe back pain and blood in her urine. An all-day trip to the emergency room turned up – after two CAT Scans – not the expected kidney stones, but a "mass" on her right kidney. She's since had an MRI and
she has an appointment Wednesday morning at a kidney clinic for a consultation over the MRI showing. Cross your fingers, say a prayer. Thanks!
Here's Ellen (with Panzi):

I'm sending good wishes to Ellen. It has to be scary for her. Panzi looks like my Rocky. You'll get the plot twist you need. When you're least expecting it, it will pop into your head.

Thanks for the good wishes. And I think I've got the twist - plus an idea for an appropriate title!

Azamara Quest for Kids
- Pro: Strong focus on destination immersion with unique shore excursions
- Con: Limited onboard entertainment might make for dull evenings
- Bottom Line: Destination-immersive, upscale cruising, with not a lot of nickel and diming
Azamara Quest for Families
Azamara Quest has no children's areas or programming, though kids are allowed onboard. Infants must be at least 6 months old to sail (or 12 months on all transoceanic voyages).
The pool, Wii, some board games and in-cabin TV's are pretty much the only shipboard amenities that will entertain children. If you plan on bringing your brood onboard, make sure they're capable of finding their own fun while on the ship. On rare occasions, when there are 25 or more children onboard during summer or holidays, Azamara Quest will "borrow" a youth counselor from its parent company Royal Caribbean International for the duration of the cruise.

FFN after a WHILE. Today a friend of mine posted her quit on FB. It triggered a
flood of memories of the struggle I went through and the support I received
here. So stopping by again to express my gratitude.
It has been 3 years and 8 months since I quit. I have fully settled down into
my new life as ex-smoker. Looking back this is what I feel
Acceptance is an Embrace
Finally, don't simply accept your new status --
Embrace it.
Sit down and look at it honestly.
Compare this new identity to the old one (whatever label
you want to attach to what you were when you smoked.... I was a slave).
Separate yourself for a minute, and observe the 2
"yous" as an impartial 3rd party.
Look them over thoroughly. Which do you want for yourself?
Choose one. And, then, embrace it.
Life will go on, there will be good days, and bad days.
Terrible sadness, and joyous elation.
Regardless of what life is bringing you at the moment,
embrace this thing that is only positive.
Embrace your decision for life.

DIY CS5381 Analog-to-Digital converter PCB Group buy
5 Attachment(s)
After some demand, i open a wiki page for started a group buy of PCB
to build the ADC project describe in the thread HERE.
If you think to be interested by it, i highly recommend you to read it !
If you need further info about the design, you can post a message in the wiki.
Of course, all designing files will be send for each buyers.
(A very complete folder).
You can download the full schematic HERE .
A little manual of the ADC can lso be read HERE .
All others files will be send to buyers.
Note that a logic array (EPM3064) must be programmed,
so you need an ALTERA JTAG programmer.
For buyers who don't have it and don't want buy it, i can provide PCB with the EPM3064 soldered and programmed for extra 15.
I have add a column to select or not the option of mounting/programming the
Logic IC (EPM3064).
The price for 1 PCB would be 40 if less than 6 PCB is ordered and 35 if more than 10.
This price include worldwide shipping in priority letter.
The buyers list start here :
Added the 13/01/2011
I add a column named "received".
Each buyers can send me PM e-mail me or edit himself the list, in order to follow if all all letters are well arrived.
1/Resistor values of R49 and R50 are inverted,
For proper work you should solder as below :
R49=750 Ohms (but no 249)
R50=249 Ohms (but no 750)
2/ For the 10M resistor(R6,R13,R19,R27),the precision in the BOM is a mistake. You can use 1% or 5% value without any problem.
Just use metal film type, no carbon(high noise).
I have add a column in the table for select or not the option of buying PCB with the
logic IC (EPM3064), soldered and programmed.
I will ask an extra 15 for that.
after looking at the 3064 data sheet ,
hi Frex, :D
You got a deal for me ,after looking at the data sheet:eek: ,I would gladly pay you extra to program and solder in the chip!:confused::rolleyes::D
Thanks ,
nice picture!
Currently, only 6 cards are pre-ordered.
I wait a few more days and if all buyers are ok, I would start the group buy and then I would send Paypal invoices .
HI frex,
Do as you like from me a few more days is ok with me!
Was hoping you'd get ten though!
For me it's also oke to wait for more participants
Hi Frex,
thanks for your great projects, why don't you list this GB in the appropriate section (Group Buys) for raising the number of people interested in it?
regarding myself I'm fine with 6 pcbs order, but maybe others could be eventually interested, too.
kind regards
Hello Valeriano,
It's a good idea. I've added a topic about it in the group-buy section. :)
We will wait a little then.
almost there :) 9 pcbs in preorder, only one missing.
if all participants agree, two more weeks for closing this GB should be enough. what do you guys think?
regarding input buffer stage.. reading the discussion in original thread http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/equip...ents-tool.html post#32 .. you choosed OPA134 for its low input bias current and its low current noise.. for making hi-Z sources measurements.
what do you think about OPA140 and OPA827 ? these seems to have better specs overall vs OPA134

Hi all. I'm looking for a recommendation for a top-quality gourmet dining experience somewhere in the vicinity of Toronto (within a 1 1/2 hour drive). Preferably in the country or in a small town. This is for a special dinner, so price is not a major consideration. I'm looking for a place that has an excellent reputation for food and atmosphere, but that also has a somewhat casual feel. Perhaps in and old inn or farmhouse - something like that.

The only downside of an otherwise superb year was that it was a lot of miles on his arm, and the next year Carrillo experienced arm problems for the first time in his career, which eventually resulted in Tommy John surgery.
Carrillo, 25, came back at the end of last year with Lake Elsinore, a little over a year and after his surgery, and struggled; but he was better in the Arizona Fall League and is off to a decent start in San Antonio.
The good news is that his velocity seems to have come back but his pinpoint control, which is what separated him from other pitchers, hasn't quite come all the way back.
The first question that everyone has on your mind is how healthy are you coming off of Tommy John surgery?
Cesar Carrillo: I feel that I am 100 percent. My arm feels great and everytime out there I'm throwing even harder. I'm starting to locate the pitches that I want more and more. So right now my biggest concern is location. I'm really trying to limit my walks.
We've spoken with people before that have undergone what you have and they say the velocity comes back, in many cases they are even stronger. The biggest challenge is regaining their command and feel. I was able to see you pitch in Mobile in 2006 and you could pretty well put the ball anywhere you wanted.
Cesar Carrillo: [laughs] I remember, and that will come with time and repetition. I was throwing for 23 years without any injury, so everything was routine for me. Now after nearly two years of not throwing its basically about having to rebuild everything. That is my biggest challenge right now, repeating my delivery.
So right now is it a bigger challenge for you mentally or physically?
Cesar Carrillo: It's definitely mental. Its just one of those things where you really have to work on. Throw the same pitch where you want it everytime.
When I spoke with you in 2006 when you pitched you remind me of a basketball player because you are about 6'2 or 6'3" but you have much longer arms so when the ball came out it was like a whip. You had thrown so many innings the year before and you said that your arm never got tired. Is that still the case?
Cesar Carrillo: My arm feels great and I feel the same way that I did before. The conditioning program here and the one in Arizona really worked. As I said earlier, right now its just all about getting out there in game conditions and repeating my delivery.
What is the biggest change in the pitcher you are now as compared to the one you were before you got hurt?
Cesar Carrillo: I'm basically the same type of guy only with more experience. The big difference is in my changeup, which I never used to be able to throw strikes with it. I feel like I can throw it in any count. That is a big pitch for me because I think its going to help to take me where I want to go.
I think my mechanics are a little better now too; I'm not as closed off and I open my hips a little more.
It's quite an accomplishment to come back as far as you have. I'm not sure if most people realize but you were a few starts away from being promoted to San Diego in 2007. It must have been very tough to see that long rehab road ahead of you. How did you stay strong mentally?
Cesar Carrillo: I just knew that after the surgery that I had to work hard to get back to where I was. It's like anything else life, you have to work to get what you want.
The doctor told me that it takes around two years to get back where you want to be, so its important to work with your brain as well as your body to keep yourself on the right path.
You have to feel pretty confident now, because before the surgery the change was the pitch you had a lot of problems with, as compared to your curve and fastball, which was your best pitch. You feel pretty confident your command will come back on the fastball so you will be better than ever?
Cesar Carrillo: [laughs] That is right. Exactly and I know its there. The velocity is there in the low-90s, and I know that the feel is there too. I'm just trying to build off every start and keep working.

When Nike unveiled the stunning, revolutionary Magista in Barcelona last week, they ushered in a new era of soccer cleats. Four years in the making, the Magista is unlike any boot we've ever seen, employing a high-top Dynamic Fit collar, a Flyknit upper and no tongue. (More on the specs here.)
A game-changing cleat attracts game-changing players, and the Magista's quality is demonstrated by the men who will wear it on fields across the top leagues in Europe and on soccer's grandest stage at 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.
They are the types of players who can win a match with a single touch, be it a brilliant pass, a sterling strike, an intrepid interception or tenacious tackle.
Club: FC Barcelona
Country: Spain
Position: midfielder
Skills: You can't name a midfielder more skilled and more decorated than Iniesta. He has been at the heart of everything Barcelona and Spain has won and displayed during historic and glorious runs the past decade. Perpetually named the to FIFA World XI, Iniesta can dominate a game without scoring, dictating the pace and flow with his exquisite touch and ball delivery. For all these reasons and more, Iniesta was the man Nike chose to unveil the Magista. Along with Mario Götze, he helped extensively test and provide feedback during the development.
Magista thoughts: "It feels like a sock." (expanded interview here)
Club: Bayern Munich
Country: Germany
Position: attacking midfielder, wing
Skills: Blessed with blistering pace, deft dribbling ability, astute reading of the game and technical skill that belies his 21-year-old age, Götze is a German wonder. He helped lead Borussia Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga crowns before joining Bayern Munich, where he's continued to excel under Pep Guardiola. He's among the brightest up and coming stars in soccer today.
Magista thoughts: "Unbelievable"
Club: Paris Saint-Germain
Country: Brazil
Position: central defender
Skills: He's the best defender in the world; not arguably, though we would entertain your arguments in the comments section below, of course. Silva bears the responsibility of captaining the Selecao as they host the FIFA World Cup™ this summer and is sure to do so with grace and class.
Named to the UEFA Team of the Year the last three years, Silva starred at AC Milan before moving to PSG and leading the squad as they attempt to write a new chapter of excellence. He's as reliable as they come in the center of defense, strong in the tackle, skilled in the air and able to pose a threat at the other end of the pitch, too.
Magista thoughts: "Perfect"
Club: Atlético Madrid
Country: Turkey
Position: Winger, playmaker
Skills: Playing primarily on the left wing, Turan has twice been named the Best Turkish Player in Europe and in 2009 was named the most popular European footballer by the IFFHS. With Los Rojiblancos, he's won the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League, 2012 UEFA Super Cup and 2012-13 Copa del Rey thanks to his unique combination of vision, close control and dribbling technique.
Magista thoughts: "Futuristic"
Club: Chelsea
Country: Brazil
Position: central defender, holding midfielder
Skills: David Luiz is a playmaker living in the body of a defender. He's adventurous. He takes chances. He often causes supporters to bite their nails, but it works. He's also got bullet right foot from set pieces that dips and swerves dangerously.
For Brazil, he partners Silva in defense and helped his country shock Spain and win the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup™. He is as talented as his locks are long.
Magista thoughts: "Molds to your foot"
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
Country: Denmark
Position: midfield playmaker
Skills: Christian Eriksen was the youngest player (18) at 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, and has continued to bloom into a worldwide star. Now 22, Eriksen made the move from Ajax, where he won the league three times and Dutch Football Talent of the Year in 2011, to Spurs and has instantly become a vital player at White Hart Lane. He's a born creative player who can unlock a defense with a pass no one else can see.
Magista thoughts: "It's like a second skin."
Club: Liverpool
Country: France
Position: central defender
Skills: Sakho combines an indefatigable determination, brute strength and tough tackling with a side of eccentric hairstyles and a knack for timely goals. Described as "a beast," by Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, the former PSG player has made an impressive early impact in the English Premier League.
For Les Bleus, he scored twice in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ qualifying playoff to book a place in the finals, capping a stunning comeback. They were his first two goals in a France shirt. He's a big player with a knack for showing up in big games.
Magista thoughts: "It's a true revolution."
Club: Paris Saint-Germain
Country: France
Position: midfielder
Skills: Among the finest box-to-box players in the game, Yohan Cabaye is another fantastic Frenchman who will wear the Magista. He made his name at Lille, proved he could adapt his game abroad at Newcastle United and moved to PSG in January to pursue silverware.
He can play in an advanced, attacking role or rule from a deep-lying position, too. Versatile, valiant and invaluable, Cabaye is a perfect player to display the marvelous Magista.
Magista thoughts: "Amazing! What else can I say?"
Incroyable ! Que dire d'autre ? #Magista @NikeFootFrance pic.twitter.com/bLiNtffigv
— yohan cabaye (@YCabayeofficiel) March 6, 2014
Who else might wear the Magista? Most of the players listed above (save for Götze and Eriksen who wear the Nike Mercurial Vapor) currently sport the Nike CTR360 Maestri III, which the Magista is expected to replace.
While we don't know for certain, we suspect many Maestri men will swap shoes for the Magista. Could Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan don these game-changing cleats in Brazil? What do you think?

Tour de Romandie: Chris Froome remains second as Michael Albasini wins stage 4
Last Updated: 03/05/14 9:25pm
Chris Froome will go into Sunday's final day of the Tour de Romandie one second behind leader Simon Spilak after finishing in the peloton on a fourth stage won by breakaway rider Michael Albasini.
Albasini formed part of a five-man escape early in the day and although two of that group were dropped in the closing kilometres, the remaining trio survived all the way to the finish in Fribourg.
Swiss rider Albasini (Orica-GreenEdge) then picked up his third win of the race by comfortably beating Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) into second and Jan Bakelants (Omega Pharma - Quick-Step) into third.
Spilak (Katusha) and Froome (Team Sky), who had risen to the top of the standings by finishing first and second respectively on stage three, both followed nine seconds later in a reduced main bunch.
The result means Froome is firm favourite to win the race for the second year in succession given that only an 18.5km individual time trial remains on stage five and that he has traditionally proved to be a stronger time-triallist than his Slovenian rival.
Breakaway success
The 174km fourth stage took place over six laps of a rolling circuit starting and finishing in Fribourg, in western Switzerland.
Albasini, Voeckler and Bakelants were allowed to break away alongside Alexis Vuillermoz (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and Jean-Marc Marino (Cannondale), and the quintet swiftly built up a maximum lead of more than 6min 20sec.
With none of the five a threat in the general classification, Team Sky spent the first three-quarters of the stage on the front of the peloton and were happy to let the escapees stay away.
Other teams including Tinkoff-Saxo, Trek Factory Racing and Giant-Shimano decided to take over the chase entering the final 25km, but their response came too late and when the breakaway still had over a minute's lead going into the last 10km, it became clear they would not be caught.
An attack from Bakelants on the day's final climb led to Vuillermoz and Marino being dropped, but Albasini stayed in contact and went on to win the three-man sprint with ease.
Stage four result
1 Michael Albasini (Swi) Orica-GreenEdge, 4:14:21
2 Thomas Voeckler (Fra) Europcar, same time

Gel with success the Gelato way
An Indian meal is considered incomplete without a sweet course at the end. Capitalising on this practice among Indians are the companies dealing in desserts. There is an array of commercially available desserts to satisfy the consumer palate. One such spe
Feature Writer
The Gelato industry in India is relatively new and developing to find its foot holds among the consumers. The premium gourmet product that originated in Italy is slowly carving its share in the Frozen Dessert market.
Gelato, generally is considered as an ice cream, but technically the product is different. The frozen dessert is a low fat and high flavoured product. Unlike the most industrial ice creams, it is prepared from fresh and natural ingredients. The Gelato made its entry in the Indian market some six years ago and basically caters to the premium consumer. With not many players in this niche business segment, there is lot of scope and untapped market to take advantage of. Currently, there are about 10 Gelato brands and 100 gelaterias or gelato stores in the country.
Players dominating the industry
The Gelato concept in India is infancy and still developing. Several Gelato brands such as Gelato Delight, Mama Mia, Gelato Italiano, Amore and Gelato Vinto etc are the pioneers in this sector in India. Most of them operate through company owned stores and some of them have forayed into the franchise arena to scale up and expand their brand and product reach. As, 'Gelato' is a premium product, the ideal distribution format for it, could be retail-kiosks and gelatarias or parlours, catering services, supermarkets supply and via institutional sales.
Franchise opportunities
The gelato brands namely Gelato Vinto, Amore and Gelato Italiano offer franchise opportunities in India along with presence through own stores.
Gelato Vinto: The Delhi based brand launched in 2005 by Shivram Foods Pvt Ltd. has launched its franchise concept pan India. Gelato Vinto, currently has presence in Delhi/ NCR, UP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Punjab through 25 franchised and 11 company owned outlets. It also has a supply channel for Hyatt Regency, Leela Kempinski and several other hotels and restaurants in the city. Now, the company is planning further expansion. It is offering franchisees and the interested entrepreneurs require paying a one-time franchise fee. The preferred location would be high footfall areas like ground floor of a market or shopping mall or a food court and minimum space needed would be 100 sq. ft. The company also extends technical knowledge and support to its franchisees.
Amore: Mumbai based gelato brand Amore owned by Gourmet Gelato Company Pvt. Ltd. began operations in 2006 in India. At present, the brand has presence in Mumbai, Surat and Hyderabad through 25 outlets operating through mix of ownership as well as franchise model. The company opted for franchising in its endeavor to establish itself as a national brand. It is also seeking continual expansion across India. The company provides personalised all-level management support in form of well-trained craftsmen, marketing, human resources or product enquiries. The franchise formats, the company offers include kiosks (space required 80-160 sq.ft.) and high street outlet (140-300 sq. ft). The capital outlay on franchisee's end could vary between Rs 9 lakh-15 lakh for kiosk and high street format respectively approximately. This would also incorporate the franchise fee and costs for equipment and fittings, staff training, architectural and design fees etc.
Gelato Italiano: The Gelato chain owned by Mumbai based Blue Food Company currently has around 60 outlets in cities Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. The company is now on an expansion spree and looking to extend its presence across India through a franchise route in addition to company owned stores. It is targeting in Tier I cities for initial phase of expansion and to Tier II and III cities later on. It has plans to open more than 60 outlets pan India and has not disclosed the capital requirement for the proposed quick expansion as yet.
Challenges for the Gelato industry
The Gelato Gourmet Industry has several factors that are critical for its growth prospects. These include issues pertaining to the supply chain mechanism, the infrastructure requirements, enhancing product awareness along with increasing consumer base for this specialty product.
Supply chain Management: The shelf life of the gelato is of few days only and mostly, it is freshly prepared and sold on daily basis. Therefore, the franchisors prefer having a manufacturing unit close to the franchise stores. The franchisee would need to place orders in advance mostly 24 hours, so that the franchisor is able to supply the stock on time.
Infrastructure: The refrigeration and display cabinets are typical and different from those used in regular ice-cream stores. This is due to the fact that 'Gealto' is 10 to 15 degrees warmer than ice cream and requires different temperature settings. Unlike ice cream, gelato is not completely frozen solid. Moreover, the equipment is sourced from Italy and usually supplied by the franchisor. The Gelato manufacturing involves typical recipes, equipments, production process and store formats.
Lack of product knowledge: Gelato has still has to carve its identity as a different product other than ice cream. A large section of consumers are not able to differentiate between ice cream and Gelato. In case of ice cream, the content ratio of ice cream to air is 30:70 and for Gelato, this ratio is typically 70:30. Gelato is prepared from natural ingredients (milk and fruits), and is mostly fat free (only 3 to 4 per cent of fat) and is more creamy, rich and tasty and therefore nutritious. However, the variations in gelato containing chocolate or nuts are more calorised. Also, there are other gelato products available such as water based Sorbettos , Gelato Cakes and shakes.
Small consumer base: As if now, Gelato industry in India is a very small catering to a niche market. Its consumer base comprises those foodies who have knowledge and appreciation for the quality food ingredients and its history. The product is 100 percent costlier than any other regular branded ice cream. Also, with many options available in the category of Frozen Desserts and ice creams, the gelato finds clientele in people who have a more refined palate. The current scenario is that the gelato market is limited to metros and Tier I cities.
Generally, seen as part of the Ice Cream industry which stood worth Rs 2,000 crore in India in 2010 and pegged at annual growth rate of 15 per cent for coming years, the share of gelato market is very small about five per cent. There is massive scope in this premium gourmet segment in terms of creating product awareness and identity in the Indian market. As more and more people are becoming health conscious and also ready to spend, the sector offers potential entrepreneurial opportunity. The trend is picking up with several players planning expansion and seeking franchise partners to extend the reach of the product across India and creating a larger consumer base.

Outside a pub on the Caledonian Road in Islington, north London, a blackboard urges people to come inside and "enjoy a romantic three-course Valentine's dinner" on Sunday. A certain young man waiting in there will not be among those spooning sticky toffee pudding into their loved one's mouth this weekend.
Peter Backus – a maths tutor at the University of Warwick – is the author of a controversial thesis: Why I Don't Have A Girlfriend. In it, the 31-year-old estimates that our chances of finding love are just one in 285,000. By applying Professor Drake's opaque theory of astrophysics N = R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L (in which the pioneering scientist predicted that there could be 10,000 civilisations in our galaxy) to singledom, Backus has discovered that out of the 30 million women in the UK, only 26 would make suitable girlfriends for him. Isn't he just being picky, though?
"This is what people tell me," laughs Backus, a good-looking man from Seattle, "particularly because of the part where I say that I might only find one in twenty women attractive, but I don't just mean good-looking, I mean attractive to me."
"The paper isn't actually about how to find love," he continues. "It's about how to find a potential girlfriend. I can say fairly mechanically that I will not be falling in love with an 85-year-old woman. What I wanted, among other things, was somebody with a university education, who lived nearby and was between 24 and 34 years old."
After a three-year period as a single man following a broken heart, Backus set about discovering precisely why he was having such trouble finding a girlfriend. The paper, he says, "only took me two hours to write – any super nerdy person could have done it." But when one of his students posted the thesis on an internet chat room, the response was extraordinary.
"My in-box was rammed with emails from one day to the next. People were writing to me from all over the world, from China to Greece. There were women saying they would be my girlfriend, and men explaining how to manipulate women into being the people you want them to be. A woman in Brazil proposed marriage, and a TV producer got in touch about possibly using the thesis as the foundation for a TV show."
Backus cheerfully accepts that his thesis ignores some key aspects of the coupling process. "Like-minded people tend to congregate in the same places, of course, and the internet is now this amazing thing that enables you to type in exactly what you are looking for in a mate and come up with ten matches, so my paper is based on some unrealistic odds."
What about the women who, disregarding all logic, go on holiday and fall in love with Florentine waiters? "I'd be interested to see how long that lasts," he smiles. And isn't it a fact that someone can fit every one of your criteria but still, bafflingly, remain completely unattractive to you? "Then there are clearly other criteria that really matter to you but that you can't quantify," he says.
It comes as no surprise to me that Backus is American. Over in the States, they are as particular about their partners as they are about their omelettes, wanting them just the way they like them. We, on the other hand, if recent reports are to be believed, are often likely to "settle" for second best. "I do find it extraordinary that the British race has been able to perpetuate itself," he concurs. "The passivity and reliance on alcohol in order even to talk to a member of the opposite sex here boggles my mind. As does the way you people analyse text messages – just call the person if you want to communicate with them."
From a scientific point of view, game playing doesn't make sense either, he points out. "If you make a move that is not really you, and then the man responds in a way that is not really him, you will both be moving further and further away from what you want."
It was, perhaps, that appealingly straightforward side of Backus, rather than the publication of his thesis, that meant he did finally find a girlfriend in August last year. "Rose fits all the principles I laid down in the paper, but I'm happy to say that I didn't apply them that mechanically." And doesn't the thesis, with its rather clinical connotations, bother her? "She thinks it's funny that something as nerdy as this has got so much attention," he laughs.
So, will he be sending her roses or a card on Valentine's Day? "No," he tells me. "Actually, she asked me a week ago whether I celebrate Valentine's Day, and I told her that I don't." Oh dear, I feel duty-bound to explain to him, that was girl lingo for "Where are you taking me on Valentine's day?". "It was?" he looks aghast. "But what about the rule of never pretending to be something you're not?"
Forget the thesis, I tell him – science can only get you so far.

Bombardier uses modeFRONTIER to optimize high-speed trains for drag reduction and improvement of cross-wind stability.
In recent years, the German and Swedish based company has turned to modeFRONTIER to drive the design simulations, in order to try to achieve improved greater drag reduction, increased speed with lower traction power and increased cross-wind stability. modeFRONTIER was an ideal choice of tool for this work for a variety of reasons:
the problem is inherently multi-objective (a low-drag configuration will not be stable in a cross-wind and vice-versa, and hence a suitable algorithm was required which would find a balance, or trade-off, between the conflicting solutions; in this case modeFRONTIER's genetic algorithms were used
several CAE tools needed to be integrated into a single environment, to ensure that the process would run repeatedly without the need for human intervention; this was done in the modeFRONTIER workflow editor
some of the CAE tools in use were located in the Vaesteros location, while others were in Berlin; here the ability to integrate even distributed tools in a modeFRONTIER workflow proved invaluable

Wean, lose or draw
DID YOU see the movie about Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) Prime Minister Keith Rowley? Yes, I expect that in the next Academy Awards it will be an Oscar Weaner. Why would the Trinidad prime minister beat Opposition Leader Kamla PersadBissessar in a race? Because it was weaner take all.
What is this about? A few days ago, the prime minister, fresh from the 2016-2017 Budget presentation by the minister of finance, Colm Imbert, and in the midst of a recession and falling future revenues, complained, lamented and attacked simultaneously what in T&T is commonly called a 'dependency syndrome'. Essentially, 'dependency' theory is about how a country develops as a direct result of external forces where there is a dominant country and a dependent one. The idea is that the rich one gets richer and the poor one gets poorer. It is also linked to handouts like Food Aid and the unwillingness of communities or even countries to initiate activities to improve their own well-being.
The World Health Organization (WHO) sees dependence syndrome as an addiction or "a cluster of physiological, behavioural, and cognitive phenomena in which the use of a substance or a class of substances takes on a much higher priority for a given individual than other behaviours that once had greater value". But is this what Prime Minister Rowley meant, especially as no foreign country is in the mix or any health issue involved. He is quoted as saying, "Every facility built in this country has to be built by the government, every school, every health centre, every this, every that, because in this country, for the last generation or two, we've grown up on the government." He then laid down what turned out to be a massive dictum, "You better begin to get weaned off the government because the government's shoulder cannot carry the weight anymore."
Instead of being beneath their sails, the 'weaned' blew most of the social media and other commentators away. In fact, the 'weaner', as the prime minister was then called, took it all – the resentment, anger, jokes and complaints. One Facebook post was clear, "It would be nice if the government can wean themselves off me, so I won't have to pay any more taxes!" Then the talk started about 'wean-wean' and 'wean-lose' solutions and the common understanding that the prime minister was really providing us with a 'nowean' situation.
Someone else said that we are a bunch of weaners, and another asked, "What makes some of us weanable and the government unweanable?" And then came the comment that we were being treated like Weany the Poo.
Other comments were more serious but still incensed. A former politician made a telling point: "The government got people hooked and now want them to do it cold turkey. What a place." There was the ironic query: "Roads, hospitals, schools?" One of the commentaries looked at it from the perspective of a 'free meal' or what is called in T&T, 'eat ah food'. He said, "I wonder if Rowley is capable of weaning himself off the government. The biggest drain on our resources is the government itself. Eat ah food!" There was the suggestion of a Twelve Step programme to wean citizens off the government, and the logic of "If we wean ourselves off the government, we won't have to vote ever again."
I found some comments that were much closer to the bone, like, "This is what has happened in many countries when the State thinks it is God and people believe it. When the State thinks it is better and more powerful than God, then what God has created ceases to exist in the way they were created."
The problem of the role of the State and the power of the ruling party, especially the way that power inevitably seems to go to the head of the head of government, is as much a regional problem as a T&T problem. However, nowhere else has it been as much in evidence historically as in T&T.
The first prime minister of the country, Dr Eric Williams, told citizens flatly that if they did not like how he was running the country, they should get the hell out.
But it is not just the insolence of office that is the issue. It is also what has been deemed an entitlement syndrome. Make-work, freemoney projects and social-welfare programmes that cover from womb to tomb and cradle to crypt make many people feel entitled, not just to what the government gives them, but to what other people have. Almost all the crimes in T&T and the region are crimes against property. It is a case of, "It's not personal, and we have nothing against you, but you see that watch you're wearing or the car you're driving or the house you're living in and the business that is flourishing ... . "
However, right now, weaning people away from a government in a country where race and politics are symbiotic is not the prime minister's only problem. He is locked in a bitter and public dispute with the head of state, President Carmona, about who lied to whom about a meeting with the minister of national security. Public opinion seems to favour the president's version of events.
At the same time, the pressure on the prime minister to manage insatiable demands with shrinking resources is escalating. There are three possible outcomes to the three seemingly intractable problems – wean, lose or draw.
Tony Deyal was last seen asking, "When the dust settles on the dispute between the president and the prime minister, who will emerge the weaner?"

Male pattern baldness, can I wait 3 months? Or should I start rogaine now? (photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Male pattern baldness, can I wait 3 months? Or should I start rogaine now?
Thank you for posting your question. The best next option you have would be to either start on a regimen of Minoxidil 5% topical on to the crown, and second option is try to see if you can get a Rx from a clinic that can prescribe you Finesteride until your return back to the states. Thank you again, hope this helps.
Early hair loss
You have little to lose starting on 5% minoxidil twice daily. You can obtain it without prescription. Using it can often give your hair specialist some idea of what to recommend next.
Early balding
The type of crown changes you are experiencing will be slow. Minoxidil will help but finaseride will possibly reverse it if you are under 30 years old

With the commencement of 'insurance season', as one calls the December to March period, one finds a deluge of insurance advertisements on television. Riding this wave is Kotak Life Insurance, which has unveiled its new brand tagline 'Faidey Ka Insurance'. The campaign highlights the point that Kotak Life Insurance brings in investment expertise thus helping people stay a step ahead in life. The new positioning reiterates the 'Life Insurance with Investment Edge' fact in a direct and concrete manner.
The campaign created by JWT goes on air on December 3, 2009, and will be followed by outdoor and radio campaigns in January. Talking about the campaign, Elizabeth Venkataraman, Senior VP - Marketing, Kotak Life Insurance, said, "Insurance is a highly cluttered category with many spending huge budget on advertising. For us, the campaign is unique in the sense that it moves away from the child's career and ambitions, which many have been focusing on, to a more real space. I would say that we are not talking of dreams, but are into selling reality."
The campaign has a bit of a humour as it shows how parents want their children to take different careers in a bid to fulfill their aspirations. In that sense, it also showcases what the other insurance companies have been showing via their advertisements and then gently suggests to parents to refrain from forcing their expectations on their child, but allow and enable the children to exercise their choices and do what they like to do. It also reminds the parents that they should invest and plan so that they can provide maximum resources when the need arises.
Speaking on the change, Gaurang Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Life Insurance, said, "Today, consumers seek beyond protection and endowment from their insurance plans. In this context, leveraging Kotak's core strength of investment expertise seemed a natural extension for the brand. Hence, the brand idea became 'Life Insurance with Investment Edge', expressed as 'Faidey ka Insurance'. The new positioning is a reflection of Kotak Group's extensive strength in the area of research and capital markets."
The TVC has been made by SODA Films and will use various mediums to reach its target audience, including television, out-of-home advertising, radio and the Internet. Currently for TVC, the media plan is to use the ongoing cricket series between India and Sri Lanka and also spots during 'Bigg Boss – 3'. It will also be seen across media channels, including GECs, news channels and movie channels. The outdoor campaign will be pan-India and reach out to consumers in the top eight metros and other focus markets of Kotak Life Insurance in Gujarat, Punjab and the Southern Region.


text: It's been easy of late to get hyperbolic about the chance of conflict in East Asia. China appears to be the first serious military challenger America has had since the Soviet Union, and it is clearly beginning to throw its weight around in the waters of Asia. Especially raising tensions in the region is a passel of territorial disputes over islets that has pitted China against countries in southeast and northeast Asia and put Japan at odds with all its major neighbors. But the one key disagreement is between Japan and China in the East China Sea. There, an archipelago called the Senkaku Islands is claimed by Japan, Taiwan, and China. The islands sit near rich undersea oil and gas deposits, but, being situated just northeast of Taiwan, they also are in a crucial strategic location. They form the southernmost link in a chain of islands (including Okinawa and others) held by Japan that separate the East China Sea from the Pacific. The chain that ends with the Senkakus thus acts as a defensive barrier that conceivably could be used to prevent Chinese naval vessels from entering the wider Pacific.

It's Only A Machine
We make our living from machines. Copiers, faxes, printers, computers, whatever. They're not heart-lung machines or kidney dialysis machines. They don't provide life support on the international space station. Nobody dies if they don't work.
In our day-to-day activities, we don't have to protect ourselves against saber-tooth-tigers. We don't perform life-threatening surgery. We don't leap over the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. We don't drive a taxicab and wonder if the fare is going to put a bullet in the back of our head. We are not riding in a convoy in Iraq wondering if we are going to be the casualty of the day. We are not the guy who sends the convoy out and feels that he is responsible when that happens.
Do you see how easy we have it? The people who use our machines don't have to worry about these things either. And even if they do, the machine that we service for them has no effect on any of those things.
It's no big deal
So what's the big deal? A lot of us run around like chickens with their heads cut off, because there is some kind of machine crisis, as if there could really be a crisis. Sure, it's important, a little. Machines and how they run are how we feed our families, buy all those sneakers for the little feet, or if you are me, try to pay the college bills. Office machines are an integral part of everyday life. So are traffic lights, doorknobs and zippers. All of these things need to work properly. It is much better if they do, but it is not the end of the world if they don't. Nobody should get bent out of shape or lose sleep when something goes wrong with an office machine, or a delivery, or a service call. Problems go with the territory. If it were easy, everyone would do it. It would be a hobby instead of a job. You would be looking for vintage parts for your favorite Toshiba 702, like I do for my 55 Cadillac. It's not a hobby, it's a job; a pretty easy low-pressure job.
No pressure
Low pressure? Yes, that's what I said. Take your worst day. At the end of the day, think about it. Is your family OK? Nothing that you did wrong, or that went wrong in the course of your day could have hurt them. Nor could it have hurt anyone else's family.
Maybe you got a call back. Maybe you got three of them. That happens. I call it the "Midas touch," when everything I touch turns to something spelled with four letters, but it's not gold! Maybe you got a bad check. Maybe someone was really nasty. Maybe two bad checks. Maybe several people were nasty and aggravating. Maybe all of the above happened in the same day.
A bad day isn't so bad
So, let see. You got two bad checks, three nasty customers, and three callbacks. How does that affect your family? Not at all. Ok, maybe you have to work a little harder to make up for everything, but that is nothing you're not used to already anyway. If your kids did well in school today, doesn't that still matter more than the bad checks? Are you going to make them suffer because someone put the wrong length screw in a platen cover and the scanner hit it?
You have to work harder. In a service business, we are pretty much never caught up anyway. When we are, we complain that we don't have enough work to do, and worry that we won't have revenue thirty days from now. So, the answer is from Alfred E. Newman. "What. Me worry?"
You be the customer
Put the shoe on the other foot. Let's say your car's air conditioner conked out. Of course you would want it fixed. You would make an appointment, and hope it gets done promptly. Would you expect the AC repairperson to really WORRY about it? Of course not. His job is to fix it, that's all. Would you call five times a day to see if it was done? I hope not. Would that make it get done faster? No, but it might slow it down if the technician has to stop working to talk to you.
There are other decisions. How much to spend on the yellow pages ad? How to pay all the bills? What quantity of supplies to order? Big deal. You make decisions. What is the worst that can happen? You make every one wrong, and you lose your business. Well, guess what. You can make every one right and still lose your business. Circumstances beyond your control or beyond your abilities can make that happen.
So, let's say you do lose your business. That is a worst case scenario, wouldn't you agree? Well what happens next?
Outcomes that don't happen
- Do they take you and hang you in the Village Square? No.
- Do they take your children away from you? No.
- Do they put you in debtor prison? No.
Let's say you do everything right. Every business decision is correct. Every customer is happy. Competition causes you no problems. IRS, sales tax and medical insurance are all under control.
- Do they build a monument to you in the Village Square? No.
- Are your children guaranteed a perfect life? No.
- Do customers call you and tell you how wonderful you are? No.
Best case and worst case outcomes
There really is not that great a difference between worst case and best case, is there?
At least not relative to the important things in life. If you lost your job, or your business, you would find another one, wouldn't you?
Let's say you are driving to a service call and you see a little old lady with a flat tire. Being a nice person, you would love to help, but you don't have time today. Isn't that kind of screwy? If it were your mother, would you think that clearing a jam in a copier 20 minutes sooner is more important than leaving her out there?
Don't let it get to you. Whether a business owner or an employee, if you let the so-called "pressure" bother you, you will be less valuable, and probably less healthy. Stress causes physical disorders. This is not stress. Our business is one of convenience. There is no reason to be stressed out, aggravated or annoyed. Ok, a little aggravation and annoyance are appropriate. But that's all! Don't let me hear you complaining. Take things lightly. They are not that important in the grand scheme of things. Go home at the end of the day (probably about 8 p.m. for most of you,) and relax. Whatever is wrong is minor. That's what this business is.
Have a nice holiday season. Remember. It's only a machine.
- Do they take you and hang you in the Village Square? No.

text: We have a number of figures to hand from EE's end of year financial report, but one crucial figure seems to be missing from the list. Just how many people have signed up the fledgling 4G service in the UK.We know that 201,000 people signed up the network in the last quarter of 20-12, which is the period when the 4G network was launched. But we don't know how many of those are 4G sign-ups, as opposed to 3G contracts. We suspect significantly less or EE would be talking it up at the top of its press sheet. That's a view echoed by Steven Hartley, principal analyst at Ovum: 'The official line is so as not to impact the on-going spectrum auction. However, experience suggests that phrases such as 'solid early 4G momentum' cover all manner of sins. Or to put it another way: if customer uptake was far ahead of expectation, then we would hear about it. We therefore have to conclude that uptake has not been spectacular. That doesn't make it a disaster, just not necessarily fully optimising its monopoly position.'The conclusion is perhaps that by bumping up the price of 4G for early adopters, EE has put off a number of potential purchasers. Mobile phone buyers are a savvy bunch - and with the other networks round the corner with their offerings, signing up for two years at the current EE price might not be that tempting. Indeed, the Three network has already confirmed that it will be keeping charges much the same as its 3G price when it offers 4G later this year.As for the more general financials, EE posted a revenue of £5,953m for 2012, which is down 2.6% on the previous year. The fourth quarter was also down year on year by 3.9%.Olaf Swantee, Chief Executive Officer of EE, seems content with the company's performance, commenting: 'In the past year, we delivered solid financial performance, underpinned by good progress integrating the business and success in attracting high value customers. At the same time, we built a strong platform for growth, launching a new company, new network, new customer brand, new retail estate and being the first to provide UK consumers and businesses with 4G mobile services alongside fibre broadband.'2013 might fare better for EE, with more of the country gaining coverage month on month, taking in around 55% by June and 98% by the end of this year. With an aggressive advertising campaign and still no competition in place just yet, EE might well make significant inroads as the year progresses.But with the competition gearing up for the summer, there might be just a little worry about that pricing structure at EE HQ right now.

2014 Cadillac CTS to Bow at New York Auto Show
With two all-new models already on dealer lots, Cadillac will strengthen its product lineup significantly when it debuts the third-generation CTS sedan at the end of next month.
The brand's sales leader, the 2014 CTS will bow at the New York Auto Show and is expected to help boost sales by as much as 35 percent for the year. Cadillac marketing boss Don Butler made the announcement at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) convention. If achieved, the growth would see GM's luxury division increase sales to just shy of 200,000 units.

The 2014 CTS is expected to hit new fuel economy highs with the addition of a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cyliner engine shared with the ATS, while a 3.6L V6 is tipped to remain. Also on the docket is the brand's CUE infotainment system.
In 2012 Cadillac launched its new XTS large luxury sedan, as well as the compact ATS, which was crowned with the highest honor of North American Car of the Year.
Near the end of the year details should arrive on the next-generation Escalade, which will hit dealers in early 2014.
