Turning product ideas into reality – a new guide for start-ups
How innovative product development techniques can help new companies gain valuable investment
How does a start-up company convince investors to help turn a bathtub idea into a warehouse full of products? That's the question tackled by leading technology design and development firm Cambridge Consultants in a new free guide to help start-ups get their products successfully to market.
The guide looks at the key questions investors will ask to assess whether a start-up's product idea is the next big thing and uses Cambridge Consultants' established approach to product development to help answer them.
"Our phased approach to product development tackles the tough technical challenges first – there is little point spending time and money on 'turnkey' engineering when the core technology might not work," said Duncan Smith, Head of Product Development at Cambridge Consultants. "And through our work with a variety of start-ups – and by spinning out our own companies – we have seen how this phased approach not only de-risks a development technically, but also commercially. This enables the start-up to build a coherent picture of the position of the company, answering many of the questions that investors will ask ahead of investing any further."
As a leading product development company, Cambridge Consultants has helped many companies de-risk and speed up the process of getting to market, complementing their in-house capabilities without having to grow their company with a full-scale product development team. In the early stages, as well as answering the tough questions investors will ask, the most important thing is to communicate the benefits and advantages of the new technology. This can be hard with innovative products that do not have the normal 'reference points', and is best done using demonstrators.
One solution the company recommends in its guide is to develop two demonstrators – one that 'works like' a real product and a separate one that 'looks like' a real product. Separating these minimizes development time and cost, and yet still provides a start-up with tools to communicate the story to investors.
The 'works like', which typically uses standard development platforms, is not only a quick way to show functionality – it also demonstrates an understanding of the technical risks and how they will be addressed. Creating a 'looks like' model in parallel to this then allows investors to overcome the disbelief in something innovative and technically challenging, and replace it with the 'wow factor' of the potential opportunity.
Another useful technique is to produce a development risk assessment – this is often used by Cambridge Consultants to plan developments and make sure issues are addressed in the right order. This approach identifies all the technical risks and prioritizes them. Those that are high risk but relatively easy to solve should be done first, while low-risk and high-effort tasks should get pushed back later in the development when the larger funding rounds have been secured. Investors will not expect a start-up to have solved all the challenges at this stage but they will expect a credible plan to address them moving forwards.
Duncan Smith is a Commercial Director and heads our Consumer Product business at Cambridge Consultants. His background is in consumer electronics manufacturing but he has also worked with both blue chips and high-growth startups in the domestic appliance, fast moving consumer goods and telecoms sectors.
Dr. Derek Wallis is a Program Director at Cambridge Consultants and leads the NPI program. He has managed collaborative development projects with Asian ODMs including the search, qualification and engagement of the suppliers. He has also managed several NPIs in Eastern Europe and Asia. His experience spans consumer, industrial and automotive electronics products.

I fervently hope that whoever is elected pope in the upcoming conclave will abruptly depart from Benedict's fashion preferences. The public appearances of His Holiness in garish garments reminiscent of the Middle Ages (especially the red shoes) began to wear on me long before his announcement of resignation.
I acknowledge that a considerable number of Catholics glory in this sartorial splendor that represents in its own way the direction in which Benedict was struggling to move the church.
One such fan of papal attire called Benedict "the best dressed pontiff ever" and "the duke of Windsor of popes" in a recent article in the Chicago Tribune. Charlotte Allen admitted that her own "fashion sense is nearly non-existent," but she proudly recalled some highlights from memorable papal appearances: "Benedict saying Mass in 2008 at Washington Nationals Park in a billowing scarlet satin chasuble (a priest's outermost liturgical garment) trimmed with crimson velvet and delicate gold piping. Benedict greeting worshipers in Rome, his chasuble this time woven of emerald-green watered silk with a pattern of golden stars. Benedict on Oct. 21 canonizing Kateri Tekakwitha, a 17th-century Mohawk woman, while attired in a fanon, a gold-and-white striped shoulder covering, dating to the 8th century, that only popes may wear."
It is fitting and proper, Allen said, that the pontiff be bedecked in such sartorial elegance, since he was using the beauty of his garments to counteract the ugliness of "clerical sexual predation abetted by clueless and self-promoting bishops." He was bolstering the idea, in Allen's view, that the faith itself remains nevertheless "beautiful and indestructible."
However, this display of finery was not bolstering my faith; it seemed more like a distraction, a pompous display of what is old, outmoded, inauthentic and ridiculously expensive, lest we ask too many questions of church leaders, including Benedict, about the needs of the poor or the ugliness of corruption continuing to seep out even as the cardinals gather in Rome.
So I pray that the new pontiff will realize that this is not a time to get all dressed up as if to proclaim the triumph of Catholicism. It is a time for a pope to face the whole Body of Christ clothed in humility, apology and (if not sackcloth and ashes) at least outerwear appropriate to these times. Hopefully, he would require cardinals, bishops and priests to do the same.

A Radical Rethinking of Conspiracy Theories Is Underway Globally
Saman Mohammadi
March 31, 2012
You Can Laugh At 9/11 Truth-Tellers Till Kingdom Come. But You Can't Destroy The Truth About 9/11.
"Consciousness has been left at the door." – Michael Tsarion.
"The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck." – William James.
"Like the Gutenberg Press before it, the Internet Reformation is undermining the established myths that Western elites have concocted in their efforts to create a New World Order. We like to think that the Daily Bell is one modest example." – The Daily Bell.
"But our present "state" is the dictatorship of evil. "Oh, we've known that for a long time," I hear you object, "and it isn't necessary to bring that to our attention again." But, I ask you, if you know that, why do you not bestir yourselves, why do you allow these men who are in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanized state system presided over by criminals and drunks? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right – or rather, your moral duty – to eliminate this system? But if a man no longer can summon the strength to demand his right, then it is absolutely certain that he will perish. We would deserve to be dispersed through the earth like dust before the wind if we do not muster our powers at this late hour and finally find the courage which up to now we have lacked. Do not hide your cowardice behind a cloak of expediency, for with every new day that you hesitate, failing to oppose this offspring of Hell, your guilt, as in a parabolic curve, grows higher and higher." – The White Rose, The Third Leaflet.
The language of the enemy contains terms like 'conspiracy theorist' that are a direct attack on the freedom of thought and insult the intelligence of civil society. We must counter-attack the totalitarian assault on our minds with the conscious use of language: the language of resistance.
You can either embrace the term conspiracy theorist and psychologically flip the language of the enemy to serve freedom, or you can use the language of the resistance, in which the smear term conspiracy theorist is dropped and replaced with the respectable term informed citizen.
We have to be ever mindful of language, especially when it is used to discredit political speech. Language conditions our thought, shapes our outlook, and defines our worldview.

Corn Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 21527
Long Term: Up Change: -7000
Overnight Trade: N +2 Z -1 @7:30 AM
There was a tiny bit of bull spreading overnight thanks to the fact that the basis levels aren't backing off and the spreads are due for a correction. Export sales were poor for the old crop at 85,700 MT, but good for the new crop at 789,600 MT. For importers the new crop obviously looks like a bargain. On the charts the July corn still hasn't been able to push through $6.69 and the 50-day moving average is acting as support, which comes in at the $6.49 area today. Overhead resistance the December comes in at $5.68. Mid-day forecasts will likely determine the direction of the close in the new crop.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: -63732
Long Term: Down Change: -2000
Overnight Trade: Chicago: N -4 KC: N -4 @7:30 AM
So far the July KW has its 5th consecutive lower high. Export sales are supportive with 35,900 MT of old crop and 728,300 MT of new crop sales. Technical indicators suggest this market is headed lower. Harvest may be poor in a big part of the HRW Belt, but it is still hard to rally a market during harvest. $7.30 is key support.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 65457
Long Term:Up Change: -2500
Overnight Trade: N +14 X +9 @7:30 AM
July soybeans are in consolidation mode. Basis levels are trying to recover from recent losses, but the net cancellations of old crop exports won't help matters. Sales came in at negative 108,000 MT for the old crop, but 756,000 MT for the new crop. Like the corn, the new crop looks like a bargain at this point. Look for more sideways trade between $15.25 and $14.85 in the July and look for stiff overhead resistance in the November at the $13.00 level. The threat of growing acreage should begin to weigh on the new crop beans.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Up
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: 10-30 Higher
Live cattle futures closed sharply lower on Thursday, failing just above the 50 day moving average in the June contract. Cash trade remains mostly untested, with feedlots unwilling to give in to the board sell off and lower packer offers. Packers will have June contracts available to start the week but should be close enough to the knife to be more aggressive today, if feedlots hold pat. Overnight trade in the June is slightly higher, with June futures trading basically flat with last Friday's closing prices. Basis shouldn't get any wider heading into June.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Up
Long Term: Down
Opening Call: Mixed
Feeder cattle futures posted triple digit losses on Thursday, in spite of lower trade in the corn pit. It seems that when fats catch a cold, feeders get the flu. The feeder struggles haven't shown much rebound effort in overnight trade, with most months trading modestly lower. The market appears to be range bound in a fairly narrow 3.00-4.00 window. Feeders will rely on the strength in the fat market if they expect to take out recent resistance levels.

News Focused on the Wood Market
Demand shifts to mahogany substitutes
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 21 January 2013 00:00
As less expensive and more readily available African hardwoods prove to be sufficient substitutes for genuine mahogany, lumber suppliers are seeing woodworkers' interest in the latter continue to wane.
Hickory sales find boost in floor market
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 17 December 2012 00:00
While the denseness of hickory (Carya spp.) makes it a difficult hardwood with which to work, this domestic species is popular because of its unique rustic appearance and low price, particularly in the flooring industry. And with all of the sharp tooling in the today's market, it's more desirable than some might think.
Black walnut sales are holding steady
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 19 November 2012 00:00
Consumer interest in American black walnut (juglans nigra) is holding steady as lumber suppliers interviewed by Woodshop News have either experienced an increase in sales during the last year or have seen no change at all. But all tend to agree that the unique growing patterns of the species makes its availability unpredictable and, in turn, make it difficult to gauge just how popular it really is.
Soft maple sales have some staying power
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 15 October 2012 00:00
As fall began, soft maple (Acer rubrum) proved to be a strong seller, according to suppliers and distributors interviewed by Woodshop News. They suggest the species is attractive to woodworkers because it's widely available and found at a more affordable price than other leading hardwoods. They also believe versatility plays a part in that it's both easy to work and because its light hue makes it ideal for a variety of finishes.
Invasive beetle can't curtail ash sales
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 17 September 2012 00:00
Ash trees throughout the country are being threatened by the Emerald ash borer at a rapidly increasing rate, prompting states and local communities to impose quarantines on distribution of lumber products made from them.

Machaca (Authentic Mexican Shredded Beef)
Recipe by BecR2400
An authentic Mexican recipe from the book "Mexican Cookery" by Barbara Hansen. This delectable shredded beef is perfection! Wonderful served stuffed into a warm flour tortilla. Recipe is easily doubled, or tripled. Could also be made in the crock pot.
Top Review by Muffin Goddess
I was pretty impressed with this! I was a teensy bit put off by the amount of fat in the meat (before it was cooked), but I simmered the meat yesterday afternoon and allowed it to chill until this morning due to time constraints. I skimmed the solidified fat, removed all the "sketchy parts" lol, and pulled the beef into chunks. I used a poblano for the chile pepper, but also ended up adding one diced serrano because DH likes the extra heat. I served this with some leftover red chile sauce and Monterey Jack polenta (reserved from another meal which had no leftover meat), then used fresh pico de gallo as a condiment. VERY good! I think my next use for the little bit of leftover meat is going to be burritos. I'd definitely make this one again, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 08 :)

Where Are FFLs Getting Their Guns?
I just can't seem to get any guns to sell. I just got my FFL in November of last year and I'm really just spinning my wheels lately because I can't seem to get any guns from the distributors. I have probably a dozen or so guns backordered from Zanders and Williams Shooter Supply and most have been backordered since around Jan/Feb.
Is there some kind of trick to this?
Take a look around in the other sites of gun sellers....just about everyone is out of guns. It's just starting to come back now, but those that you see have been ordered for months. It's going to take a while, I"m sorry to say. The big distributors sell to the bigger dealers first, then it's trickle down after that. If you are a small dealer you will either wait, or pay a lot more for something available.
I've also heard that the long time FFLs are getting orders filled and the new FFLs are out of luck. Not a great time to start an FFL business from what I've heard from long time FFL holders.
Over the weekend I went into a Gander Mountain located near Orlando. There was not one single J frame for sale in the building. They had just about every model Glock you would want, all with the full capacity magazines. I heard a guy trying to buy a Glock in 40 S&W. He said he would buy the gun, but he needed a box each of practice and defense ammo to go with it. No sale. The clerk said there was not one single box of .40 S&W in the store. As a side note, this store has an indoor range. They had ammo for sale for people using the range, including .40 S&W, but there was a one box limit.
My preferred LGS is probably 80% consignment inventory right now.
I cant believe your not seeing a flood of Downstate NY Black Guns hitting the market; wait for it, its coming! Its hard to even sell a gun here because there are very few places that will let you advertize one! The Gun Dealers and Pawn Shops only pay 30% to 50% of list so private sales are the only way to go if you can link up with someone.
Funny thing, my ultra lib Sis Emailed me last night, she has two like minded friends that have a couple longarms they dont want around the cabin anymore. They are nothing fancy, worth less than 500 list combined and neither sounds like it has and Distictive "Military Features". She wanted to know what they are worth and how they could sell them. She didnt know the status of them as of the safe act and wondered if I could tell her! She supported the safe act, blogged and chainlettered the hell out of our Erected Officials!
I couldnt help but chuckle out loud reading he request for help, I wanted to tell her to take those evil guns to the PD and turn them in before they kill someone!!!!
What a hypocrite! She doesnt want us to have guns but wants to get good money for the ones her friends have. They will take that money from folks like you and me then tell them to give up the gun they just sold us after they get the cash!!!
I love my sister but my head hurts every time she speaks! I told her to check out Gunbroker.com, I am not going near this myself.
It would be interesting if the other 49 states 2a Supporters refused to buy any weapon that was last owned by a New Yorker! That would put a big crimp in Andy of Albany's Safe Act, he dont care who gets our guns, just that they leave NY!
I have been doing transfers for people who have ordered from Bud's.
Olympus, what state are you in?
I am sure some folks here might have some consignments for you :)
I have found the best coarse is to establish a relationship with your salesman at one wholesaler and stick with him, put all yer eggs in one basket so to speak. Luckily I figured this out shortly before the whole dry up. I started the week before thanksgiving so I had a few weeks to get things rolling and establish myself with a few sales reps.
My sales guy also started the same week as me so we have kind of been growing together, I started doing a few a week and now I'm up to probably 40-65K a month. I have been very very busy and sell prob 60-90 guns a month and im only open 5-8 during the week and 9-5 on sat sun.
Another tip he gave me that really helped and I saw almost instant product flow was to buy accessories.. Most salesman make most of their profit on acc stuff so the guys that buy more accessories get more allocated product. I have gotten more shields, p mags and hard to find guns than I ever thought possible because I buy a ton of accessories.
Accessories are also great profit, I keep stuff priced very affordable and make a decent profit while still undercutting everyone around and am usually about the same price as you can find something on the internet. At this point I would rather sell volume than to make a few bucks more on soemthing I sat on for weeks. I sell most handguns around 50 over cost and rifles usually 10% over and some a little more or less.
So long story short find one guy who will give you some stuff, stick with him and get yer foot in the door.
even my LGS is having some difficulties in supply of firearms and ammo.

Including the preferred stock dividend, related accretion and gains on repurchases, net income available to common shareholders was $0.69 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $0.79 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012 and $0.18 per diluted share in the fourth quarter a year ago.

Leadership & Governance
Presidents of Chicago's City Colleges Will Have to Reapply for Their Jobs
All but one of the sitting presidents of the City Colleges of Chicago will be forced to reapply for their jobs if they want to try to keep them, and they must commit to achieving higher student-success rates if they are reappointed, according to a policy the system's Board of Trustees approved on Wednesday.
Donald J. Laackman, the recently named president of the system's Harold Washington College, is the lone campus chief considered exempt from the reapplication process, college officials said. Trustees approved Mr. Laackman's appointment on Wednesday, and he will not have to reapply because he was hired under the new presidential job description, said Ron Schofield, a college spokesman.
Other current presidents of the community colleges have been encouraged to apply for reconsideration in a fast-tracked national search. But the board's decision suggests that a revamping of leadership could be part of a far-reaching plan to improve student outcomes across the institution.
"I have an obligation to ensure to all of City Colleges' stakeholders I did everything I can to ensure we have the absolute best leadership in place," Cheryl L. Hyman, the system's chancellor, told The Chronicle on Wednesday.
Named chancellor last March, Ms. Hyman is pushing a "Reinvention Initiative" that seeks to improve student performance across the system. Just 7 percent of City College students who require remediation go on to earn a degree, college officials say, and 54 percent of all students leave the college before completing 15 credits.
The trustees also voted Wednesday to redefine the job description for presidents, tying campus leaders' duties to specific performance measures. Those areas include:
- Increasing the number of students who earn "college credentials of value."
- Increasing transfer rates to bachelor's-degree programs.
- Improving outcomes for students who require remediation.
- Improving success in college-level courses for students enrolled in adult basic education, English as a Second Language, and General Educational Development certificate programs.
The job description for presidents had not been modified for a long time and no longer matched the institution's goals, Ms. Hyman said. "It had very little to nothing in there about students and student outcomes, and I think that's where we need to be," she said.
Whether presidents are replaced or retained, they will be given concrete benchmarks for outcomes, Ms. Hyman said. When asked directly whether that necessarily implies that presidents would be dismissed for failing to meet those benchmarks, Ms. Hyman said, "I can't tell you what that implies."
Presidents of the campuses could not be immediately reached for comment on Wednesday afternoon. Ms. Hyman said she had spoken with each of them about the plan and received "not much of a reaction at all."
Presidential selections could be made as early as May, and Ms. Hyman said she was committed to a "very fair and very transparent" selection process that will involve input from faculty, staff, and students.
Correction (2/24, 1:25 p.m.): An earlier version of this article stated that the presidents of all seven City Colleges campuses would have to reapply for their jobs. The system clarified on Thursday that the just-hired president of the system's Harold Washington College, Donald J. Laackman, would not have to reapply because he had been appointed after the new job requirements were in force. The article has been changed to reflect that distinction.

Speaking at the Assembly media point on Friday, TDP senior leader Revanth Reddy alleged that the TRS was countering the TDP thinking that the facts about them would come to light. He also alleged that KCR was �eating dead bodies� of the youth who committed suicides for Telangana.
Questioning the TRS as to why it failed to suspend the Jubilee Hills constituency in-charge Sathish Reddy, who was cooling his heels in Odisha jail for the past four months, if Sircilla MLA K Tarakarama Rao was honest. He asked whether alleged kidnap of daughters of one Srinivasa Rao was not correct. Instead of giving a rejoinder, why the TRS was trying to attack and threaten the Andhra Jyothy newspaper, he asked.
Revanth Reddy alleged that KCR, who never bothered about suicides of youth for Telangana, was now falling on the feet of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to protect his son KTR, who had links with the kidnap case and allowed the House to run smoothly. He also asked why the TRS leaders, who kept the �Telangana self-respect at the feet of Kiran Kumar Reddy� were criticizing TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu personally. He said it was not correct on the part of the TRS to criticize their party president frequently even as a Judge had given a clean chit to Chandrababu Naidu. He said the TRS was indulging in counter attacks whenever they faced criticism from the other side. He said every one faced inquiry into their activities and TRS Chief KCR was only the person who remained to face an inquiry.
Revanth Reddy alleged that the people of the region would hound KCR like a �mad dog�. He alleged that KCR-sponsored TV Channel and Newspaper were being run with advertisements of Seemandhra capitalists. He also alleged that KCR�s son KTR was also protecting one �Subba Reddy� of Seemandhra region. He also demanded that the State government respond at least now and initiate tough action against KTR.

The website contains a small amount of information on a recently developed technology that is still in the early stages of developemnt. The Reconfigurable robots once completed should be able to transform into any tool on command, this would make them invaluable.

This website contains information about technology that is just starting to emerge. This will allow tiny robots to transform into anything that is needed and could be invaluable in the near future and could change our world completely.

Nassau Sea Lion Encounter Excursion Reviews
We spent the day on Blue Lagoon Island with a Sea Lion Adventure. I went in with minimal expectations thinking we would pet the sea lions and get a few photos. This excursion more than exceeded expectations as there was time interacting with these cute mammals, watching them do tricks and, of course, there were plenty of pictures. The value I felt was the extra time allowed on Blue Lagoon Island as the time with the sea lions was about an hour. The cruise tour noted 4 hours but the boat that goes to and from port arrived on the hour so we were about to spend a couple of extra hours on the beach with some rum drinks and the boat ride to and from the island was very relaxing.
The sea lion encounter was the highlight of our trip. The areas for the dolphins and sea lions are very, very large, clean, and well maintained. The staff and trainers were friendly, courteous, and very informative about the animals. We choose the sea lion encounter and went with the early morning group. There were only 8 people In our group and we got lots of hands on time with the sea lions. They are very sweet and gentle creatures. Our main sea lion was Jack and he was just a doll! He was playful, charming, a big show off, and gave lots of sweet kisses! The rest of the day on the island was meh at best. The beach did have good lounge chairs and most of them were empty. The water was clear but shallow and not suitable for swimming, just for wading around. The kids playing on the water toys did look to be having fun. There wasn't really anything to do after you waded around in the water and tanned a bit. We did spend some time watching the dolphins play while we waited for our ferry to pick us up. I wish I wouldn't have paid $40 for two lunches. The food they served for the BBQ was the worst food I've had in a long time. The only thing halfway palatable was the pickled beets and my daughter's french fries. I would go see the sea lions again in a heartbeat, but I'll head back to Nassau right away and eat lunch there.
Enjoyed the ferry again, even saw dolphins in the water. Island was beautiful, trainers were great. They allowed us to pose for one additional anniversary couple photo with the sea lions too. As mentioned above, the encounter was changed up slightly as they are training Jack since Maggie was recovering from an ailment. Bonnie took our deck photos, she is SO cute and personable! Jack was the one we had in the water, and he shook our hands and did a lot of the typical things but he did not have much contact with us (versus hugging in the water, kisses, and lots of petting back and forth, we didn't get that this time.) Still, they gave us lots of time with 3 different sea lions and it was still wonderful and delightful. The trainers really care for their babies and our group still enjoyed it a lot. Equally as enjoyable was the rest of the day on the island. We swam both in the lagoon and on the reef, and the adventurous ones played on the inflatable water park literally for hours, talk about your $15 value! The food was just as good as it always was, and the virgin and adult drinks as nice too. We really enjoyed our laid back day at Blue Lagoon and enjoyed the ferry back too. It is a wonderful island to visit, and I would go back again for a third time. Watching the dolphins play in the marine area was awesome too. There is something for everyone on this island, and also plenty of shade.
We did the Sea Lion encounter and it was BY FAR the best thing I have ever done on a cruise. The sea lions were so cute and we had a lot of interaction with them. After our sea lion excursion we were allowed to stay on their private beach which was beautiful! Next year we are bringing the kids!!
