Kororinpa: Marble Mania Wii

- By date
There could have been twice as many puzzles and we'd still want more. Kororinpa: Marble Mania is just plain fun.
Kororinpa wowed us with its lithe 3D flexibility, but it lied about its depth. Now we're stuck: we can't ever go back to "Monkey Ball," but know we've been cheated. Life is so hard. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.48]
The game is a lot of fun, but there isn't a lot to it. You can get through all of the tracks in just a few hours.
Kororinpa serves as a quick dose of fun. It just needs some more beef to keep players coming back.
The game was a joy to watch my children play. I enjoyed the 1-player experience for a while, but quickly tired of some of the tedium.
The type of game that the Wii needs more of. It's instantly accessible, yet there are times when its genuine challenge and excellent design can cause the player to pull out his or her hair. Hudson needs to make a sequel to this ASAP.
The game's greatest fault, really, is that it's over too soon. Missed opportunities and some perspective oddities aside, Kororinpa: Marble Mania is a solid, charming puzzler.
Then - oh, as if Kororinpa hadn't lied to us about how much it has to offer - getting to the first 45 levels unlocks another 45 levels, but they're just the same levels reversed. Not played from back to front, just mirrored. It was about at this point that our heart broke, and we couldn't do anything but weep softly. [JPN Import]
It's been nicely designed and it uses the Wii-mote's tilt motion-sensors to perfection. Those who need more action and get easily frustrated might not enjoy the game as much.
A fun game; plain and simple. The design is solid, the gameplay is there for the most part, and the simple, intuitive control is charming and entertaining. Where the game lacks, however, it lacks in a huge way, offering only a handful of levels, a few extra marbles to tinker with, and no longevity to keep players coming back after the first couple hours.
Kororinpa: Marble Mania gets challenging too late and doesn't have enough levels to hold your interest for long.
This mania is manic. It's a bipolar challenge swinging wildly towards the mundane, with only the occasional blip of opposition and aggravation that would be welcomed as liberators.
Kororinpa isn't a massively deep game - we're talking more like swimming pool than Marianas Trench - and as such it certainly won't take most people very long to plough through to the credits, but when compared games of this ilk there's still plenty to come back for.
games(TM)With slightly more content and slightly improved visuals, it would have been essential. As it is, if you want a brief and thoroughly entertaining alternative to Banana Blitz, roll with this. [Feb 2007, p.124]
Few games can boast some of the best controls that the Wii has to offer.
Gentle and frustrating in equal parts, on the whole Kororinpa is a worthy addition to any Wii library, presuming that you bought the console as you weren't interested in a constant supply of macho shooters and driving games.
Edge MagazineWith handsomely designed environments, and a deviously three-dimensional approach to level design, Kororinpa is exactly the kind of simple, sustaining software that the Wii needs to build on. [Feb 2007, p.84]
Controller novelty value can't disguise its one-trick limitations or the vanilla production values, and there's no doubt that it should have been released at a budget price. One to rent, then.
Although the game provides mild amusement, thanks to well-designed stages and different types of marbles, it only takes a few hours to beat.. Its lack of difficulty combined with limited modes keep it from justifying its $39.99 price.
Just as you are beginning to be entertained by Kororinpa, its all over. Frankly this would have been better placed as a budget release as outside of the main mode you only have a standard two player offering or the option to beat your previous best time.
Pelit (Finland)A fun and reasonably original Marble Madness/Super Monkey Ball clone. The control system is excellent. Too bad the game is much too easy. [Apr 2007]
Official Nintendo Magazine UKWhen it comes to party games or something the whole family can enjoy you could do worse than Kororinpa, but experienced gamers may feel annoyed at the lack of real challenge. [Mar 2007, p.70]
Games Master UKA short and simple game, but one you'll enjoy every second of. [May 2007, p.71]
Kororinpa: Marble Mania is without a doubt a fun and engaging game that works well on the Wii with its accurate and intuitive motion control.
It's a little rough around the edges and there's not much in the way of variety here, but what it does do it does well.
Electronic Gaming MonthlyMarble mania ought to be the final test for any aspiring surgeon due to its requirement for a steady hand and a high level of patience. [Apr 2007, p.79]
Nintendo PowerSolid production values and a highly polished presentation(including an excellent soundtrack)round out the fun-but-understated package. [May 2007, p.87
This is a hard sell, but if you like puzzles check it out. The game is rewarding, but bring your own music to the party.
It utilizes the Wii nicely. It's not a game that will last a long time, though, and it doesn't offer enough game hours to warrant the initial price.
Honestly, anyone interested spending over $40 on a game like this would be better off with Super Monkey Ball.
Kororinpa is fun, but only in small doses. The lack of more levels, characters, and modes really hurt this otherwise solid game.
It is a decent game in its own right and can be quite fun at times, but there is nowhere near enough content to justify its asking price.
I would imagine that most people will finish and grow bored with Kororinpa in a couple of days. Still, it's one of those games that you really enjoy while it lasts -- it's just a little too simplistic for its own good.
So while the game doesn't go feature crazy like Sega's monkey handlers, it under-delivers, leaving players with a mile-long wish list of mini-games, activities and unlockables they long to see included in the sequel.
It feels much more suited to a low-priced download such as Xbox Live Arcade's "Marble Blast Ultra" rather than a $79 [AU] release.
Once the game reaches a 20-dollar price tag, by all means, it is worth having in your collection, but until then, maybe you should just stick to playing "Monkey Ball" while you wait.
The simple controls and straightforward gameplay make it possible for anyone to play. Unfortunately, the number of levels is too small for the game to have any lasting appeal and issues with the camera can be frustrating.
Hardcore GamerKororinpa, feels like a solid beginning to what could become a beloved franchise. [May 2007, p.59]

I'm trying to set up a shopping cart and link it to PayPal, how do I do this?Asked by George Sanchez on September 17, 2013 at 03:54 PM
I've tried to get the items to reflect a running balance, but it will not show me balances when I check off the fields I select. Does this feature become active after the form is fianalized or save or does it work in the form stting?
JotForm Support
Hi George,
I've check your forms, and so far you have all the Paypal Form setup correctly. But, I am not quite sure about that balance you're talking about. Are you referring to the Grand Total of all the orders in the form and when you uncheck an option or product item, it does not change or deduct?
However, if you are trying to setup Specing Pricing Set (example: http://www.jotform.us/form/32595046794162), you can do that by following this guide: How To Add Options In The Payment Form (navigate to step "II. Add a Custom Property to Item").
Example Form here: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/32597110016951. You'll notice the price difference when you select an option from the Dropdown.
Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Time penalties for inefficient driving in effect for 2014.
Ingolstadt - Motorsport is changing: When the new Audi R18 e-tron quattro is pitted against its competitors in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) the Audi factory drivers have to deliver an additional quality. Not only will they need to master the races in a flawless, fast, reliable and intelligent manner as before, but in a highly efficient one as well. Otherwise, penalties are a possibility.
Two examples of the new requirements: Only a limited amount of energy per lap may be fed into the cars powertrain through the hybrid system 2, 4, 6 or 8 megajoules per lap at Le Mans, depending on the class. If these limits are exceeded, 10-, 40- or even 60-second stop-and-go penalties threaten in the case of repeated violations. The same penalties apply if the permissible amount of fuel per lap is repeatedly exceeded.
The Audi Sport squad has successfully been testing this. If a driver is slowed by a vehicle heading into a turn, it may be advantageous to initially follow this car to save fuel and to only overtake it exiting the corner. But approaching a turn more gently also has effects on the cars handling. The drivers are no longer putting the tires and suspension under load as systematically as before, says Leena Gade based on her observations. Thats why the cars dynamic response is different.
To Audi factory driver Lucas di Grassi, who was involved in the tests of the new car at an early stage, the new task poses an intriguing challenge. It doesnt seem like Id have to fundamentally change my driving style now, analyzes the Brazilian. Even in the past there were situations in which we had to watch our fuel consumption in order to put certain race strategies on track. Now were driving as fast as possible without ever losing sight of the set consumption limit. And if we do exceed the limit once, then weve got two laps to compensate for the excess by reducing our consumption. So heres another challenge being added to our task list which means weve got to be both efficient and fast.
Do fans have to fear that the race drivers in 2014 will be acting with great restraint in order to save energy? Not to worry, says Lucas di Grassi. Even though consumption may heavily vary, the lap times are very similar and thats why were running at similar speeds. Its basically about saving a lot of energy in some sections for instance by lifting earlier without driving a lot slower on a whole lap. Im impressed about how well and precisely Audi Sport has already been handling these tasks and is always able to help us with specific calculations and advice. Our sport will continue to be great fun. Its just that well be using a lot less energy in it than ever before.

US combat tourniquet gets update
An updated version of the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) has been introduced as 'Generation 7', the US Army announced on 12 October.
Soldiers carry CAT in the field as part of emergency care for wounded soldiers.
The older Generation 6 CAT is a small, lightweight torniquet designed to completely stop arterial blood flow from an injured limb, preventing exsanguination, which is the most common cause of preventable death amongst wounded soldiers.
Deployed soldiers will soon begin to receive the updated CAT. The updated version features a single-routing buckle through which soldiers feed the tourniquet belt before tightening it with the windlass - a textured black rod. In comparison, the Generation 6 model has two slots on the buckle and can be used to either double-route or single-route the belt.
The single-slot buckle of the new generation is designed for easier and faster application, but both versions are effective and both will now be in use.
Both versions have been tested by the army and navy, and army medics have been trained on both versions.

Heidi, Seal, and All the Kiddies Are Face-Paint Disney Fanatics
Heidi, Seal, and All the Kiddies Are Face-Paint Disney Fanatics
It's official: The Klum-Samuel family loves face paint more than anyone else. Seriously, though, it seems like every other time we see them, at least one member is looking all colorful or catlike. I'm not complaining though, totally love it. This time the occasion was Seal's 45th birthday, celebrated at Disneyland over the weekend. Little Leni even took it up a notch with her princess outfit. Clearly the happiest place on earth is even more so when you've got extra special makeup on.

To start with I am 16 and have never been on a date.
Okay, so on Saturday at an awards evening I helped organize I was asked out to the cinema by a guy I have met a few times who also helped the planning and I agreed, utterly flattered and figuring I would give it a go. He is not the best looking guy, but a real gentleman and is really nice. He is 19 and lives not too far away from me.
On the way back to our local center by coach, he held my hand and placed it on his leg just above his knee. I wasn't quite sure what to do, but I figured I would hold his hand and see what happened. Nothing else did and we just spoke for the whole journey.
As I had no way of getting home, he arranged for his mum to pick us both up and drop me home before him. Just before we reached my house, he lent over to me and pursed his lips to kiss me. I was stunned, he was going so fast. Not wanting to be foolish, I told him no, not yet, and although he seemed a little unsure about this, he did not press me and for that I was grateful.
We have since been texting, him sending me morning texts and today's was 'morning sexy x' I wasn't too sure about this, I am *certainly* not good looking and thought perhaps this was a little too fast for him to be saying things like this.
I honestly don't know, but I am worried now about next weekend. Will I enjoy myself? Or will I be too nervous for anything, seize up and ruin the whole thing? Or will he try to take it too far, being older than me and more experienced with girls?
Please help, guys and girls help will be appreciated!
Thank you!
Most Helpful Guy
You are way too naive for 16. Yes he will try to take it further than you want. Yes you will ruin the whole thing. A goodbye kiss was too fast for you? Are you a Shaker? ) That was a religious group that did not allow any sex. Obviously they went extinct from not reproducing.
You should relax, think about sexual matters, and plan for how to start catching up. You are going to a movie with him. A goodnight kiss is perfectly normal and should be expected. There likely will be an attempt to kiss you in the dark theater, and no real reason for you to resist this. That does not mean you have to miss the movie because you are locked up in a two hour necking session with him, but it won't hurt a thing to participate a little.
Likely he will try to feel your breasts and your crotch also. There is no harm in this. It is fun, but you can limit how far that goes. You don't have to let him inside your pants nor do you have to reach into his, but you might enjoy some over the pants massaging. Your breasts are perfectly safe. No harm can come from letting him play with those, and many girls love the feeling, but he can reach under your shirt. There is no need to open your shirt up for him.
Most important, relax, you now know what is likely to happen. You should press your limits a bit, but your not required to just submit to anything he might have in mind. Try to enjoy yourself, the movie, and his company. Undoubtedly your limits will not be as far as his, so you will have to be prepared to enforce "your" limits, but don't be so prudish that you don't both have a little fun.
Good luck :)

Don't Let It Happen to You
According to The Press-Enterprise newspaper (Riverside, Calif.), on a recent Saturday morning, neighbors watched as three collector cars were pilfered from an out-of-town collector's garage. For three hours, uniformed drivers removed the cars from the garage and loaded them onto a flatbed tow truck. The tow trucks had been stolen from a defunct business, and the thieves were wearing uniforms adorned with the AAA logo, according to witnesses.
A 2-door maroon 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertible, a light-blue '57 Ford T-bird convertible and a black '66 Mercedes Benz 600 Limousine probably won't be seen again, at least in Southern California. Nobody called police until the next day because nothing seemed suspicious.
And it wasn't a one-time thing. It happened a couple weeks earlier in Yucaipa, Calif., at a business. A '56 and '57 Bel Air, and a '59 Impala were the victims that time. Authorities aren't sure if the incidents are related, but it's still great cause for concern.
So how do you prevent this from happening if you're out of town? The following tips will help keep your garage as theft-free and your vehicle as safe as possible.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Rocky Road (Male, Neutered) This boy is always following his sister, Chocolate Chip. On the couch, while she curls in your arms, he will curl on your legs (especially if you have a super-soft blanket). While he doesn't like the vacuum cleaner, he is unfazed by the sound of a blender. So, he may be just a little more sensitive than his sis. He loves cuddling with her in a big "X" pattern and is always crazy hungry. He loves to chase LED lights, bottle caps, jingle balls, you name it.
These two sweet kittens are bonded and must be adopted together. You could not ask for a better pair of kittens!
Rocky Road and Chocolate Chip were born in September 2016. They are spayed/neutered, micro chipped, current on all their shots, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
Rocky Road, a Merrifield Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Merrifield.

Year 13 geography students at Stratford High School counted nearly 14,500 trucks driving through Stratford's CBD in just two days.
"And we only counted them over a total of 13 hours in that time," Ashley Kowalewski told councillors at a Stratford District Council meeting earlier this month.
Ashley, along with classmate Christine McIvor, presented their group's findings to council, receiving praise from councillors present for their efforts.
Councillor Kelvin Squire said their presentation was informative and raised some valid points.
The students had asked local businesses in the CBD and members of the public, as well as some trucking firms, whether they thought a heavy traffic bypass would be a good idea.
In their presentation, the girls noted they had only sampled a small selection of people, but felt the information was still useful to a discussion on the potential of a bypass in the town.
Of the businesses approached, the students reported a total of 55 per cent were in support of a potential bypass, with 54 per cent of the general public also being in support. When it came to trucking firms, the support was stronger, with 67 per cent responding in favour of a bypass.
While businesses and members of the public both identified noise and danger as being the main issues, the trucking firms were more specific, citing pedestrians not use the crossing, cars performing U-turns as well as reversing out of the angle parks as being some of the issues they saw as being problematic. Another issue identified by the trucking firms was the restrictive passage in the middle of town for wider or larger loads.
The two students answered questions from councillors after their presentation in the public forum and even managed to claim the last word.
When asked by councillor Graeme Kelly if they were aware a potential bypass would take heavy traffic past the high school, "so would that concern you", Christine quickly responded with "no, we are in our last year, we will have left by then".

THERE'S always been a spruik about Essay Raider, but now he's delivering on the promise.
For a while, he was one of the most frustrating horses in Adelaide - the ability was there, but he just couldn't put it all together.
After a stunning victory on debut, he went winless in his next 10 starts but kept dragging punters back in with outstanding sectionals and flashing finishes.
In those 10 runs he started $3.70 or shorter on six occasions and burnt plenty of fingers.
But the horse has matured, as most four-year-olds do, and the team worked out one important trick in September, when Essay Raider finished fifth for Craig Williams in the Listed Testa Rossa Stakes at Caulfield.
"You've got to put him into the race, Williams woke me up to that," trainer Leon Macdonald said.
"He said 'this horse runs enormous sectionals but gets too far out of his ground'."
Since then, everything has turned around.
A dominant victory here last month was followed up by a top run in the Group 2 Yellowglen Stakes at Flemington on Derby Day - finishing just three lengths behind the winner Fontelina.
On Saturday at Morphettville, Essay Raider sat three-deep facing the breeze but it didn't matter.
The $1.80 favourite was close enough to show his best, and when Todd Pannell asked for an effort in the straight, he let down strongly to beat Whitlam ($16) by two lengths with Halle Rocks ($8) a further length and three-quarters back in third.
Macdonald, who trains with son-in-law Andrew Gluyas, says there were reasons for his past performances, but those days are behind them.
"He ran in a lot of races that were too hard for him - to be honest - he was inexperienced," he said.
"He's starting to work it out. He's a good horse this bloke."
Essay Raider will now head towards the Listed City Of Marion Stakes in a fortnight - where he'll probably start favourite.
It capped off a terrific day for the stable, who enjoyed a treble with Gossip Guru and On A Dream also saluting.
But they were only able to bridge the gap by one on the metropolitan trainers' premiership with Phillip Stokes continuing his remarkable form with another double.
With promising three-year-olds Lucky Symbol and Tenere getting home, it means Stokes has had six winners from his past eight runners in Adelaide.

Men expect from cosmetics rapid effect and universality. "Male agent" is supposed to be rapidly applied and instantly absorbed through the skin - no more than 30 seconds. Manufacturers take account of this and create light gel base products to absorb quickly and leave no trace. Their composition is dominated by natural ingredients with different functions: cleansing, moisturizing, smoothing, refreshing. Most of them are multifunctional – moisturize and protect, fight against aging and give the effect of suntan.
As Euromonitor experts say, men's grooming in Russia performed better than overall beauty and personal care in 2013. Along with increasing awareness and growing concerns about self-image, especially in the larger cities, men's grooming recorded healthy growth in 2013. Men's grooming products, due to the growth from low base, are the drivers of a lot of beauty and personal care categories.
Gillette Group led men's grooming in 2013 with a value share of 40%. The leading position of the company was due to historically strong brand awareness and the company's specialization in men's grooming products, particularly shaving. Gillette Group's products have a wide presence in modern retail channels, which makes them more accessible in terms of cost and location.
According to a Nielsen Global Survey of respondents with Internet access, in Russia, more than half (52%) of men are making shopping decisions for food, household and personal care products, and 43 percent are making shopping purchases. In fact, the survey shows that Russian men are active, independent shoppers who pre-plan before arriving to the store (71%), collect related information and opinions for reference before shopping (60%) and shop around before making a purchase (63%). Men are not only making informed shopping decisions, they're also more willing than women to pay a higher price – especially for products that are designed specifically for them (47% men vs. 40% women). Men are also more brand conscious than women (51% vs. 43%), and they are earlier adopters of new products (40% vs. 34%). In Russia, male products are typically 10–20 percent more expensive than the same female or unisex brand. But while more Russian men are taking a more active role in shopping than men in other developed and mid-developed countries, the share of male-oriented products in Russia is not as big as it is abroad. Better assortment, coupled with marketing strategies that speak directly to men across the platforms they pay attention to, are needed to bridge the gap, say Nielsen experts.
Mass products manufacturers pay special attention to anti-aging product properties that help to restore the freshness of the face in the morning, decrease eye dark circles and puff, and etc. For men who want to get rid of gray hair several brands offer not only hair dying but also toning agents. Experts believe that these product categories have great future on the market.
According to Synovate Comcon survey, in 2013, shaving products used 73.5 % of men, toilet water – 66.3%, deodorants – 57.3% and hand creams – 9.8%.
TOP- 5 skincare brands: Nivea was used by 17.9 % of men, "Chistaya Linia" - 11 %, Avon – 8.3%, Oriflame – 7.7%, and Clearasil – 6, 2%.
TOP- 5 perfumery brands: Adidas –14,3%, Avon – 11,9%, Hugo Boss – 11,3%, Gillette – 10,9% and Oriflame – 7,3%.
TOP-5 aftershave brands: Gillette – 35,9%, Nivea – 31,5%, Arko -– 23%, Old Spice – 9,6%, and Arko Men – 8,5%.
Men prefer to buy cosmetics and perfumery in specialized stores (52%), in super- and hypermarkets (38%); the share of buyers from individual distributors is small – just 6%.
Premium bath and shower products designed for men demonstrate the highest growth rates in value terms. However, premium products attract a limited number of people living mainly in big cities such as Moscow or Saint Petersburg. Premium cosmetics for men account for just 5% of the total male cosmetics market in Russia.
Male hair care in the mass segment is another promising niche that is worth noting.
Cosmetics for men showed an increase of 6%. Deodorants, despite one percent upturn in quantitative terms, did not change in value terms – they are stable enough to hold their high rates being an essential for men.
More men are adopting a daily grooming regimen as part of their lifestyle and fragrance is one of the important and rapidly growing. The Canadean reports that will achieve a value and volume GAGR of 10.4 and 9.0 per cent between 2012 and 2017.
Older men are driving the growth in the male toiletries market in Russia, according to Canadean. The value of the market is set to rise from US$892.6m in 2013 to $982m in 2017, an increase of just over 10%, with older men looking for convenient products that fit with their increasingly busy lifestyles.
The desire to look healthy and stylish is driving sales in multifunctional products such as post-shave cosmetics that offer SPF protection and moisturizing properties to refresh ageing skin. Targeting the 'time factor' is a major key to success for marketers, with products meeting this need accounting for $211m in sales in 2013, the analysts said.
In terms of market by value share, disposable razors and blades are the largest category in the overall male Russian toiletries market at 63%, while aftershaves and colognes and post-shave cosmetics are predicted to see the largest growth between 2013 and 2017.
Such category like make-up is presented on the market but still is a niche products.
In recent years, mass segment of male cosmetics (bath & body, as well as shaving products) show steady growth. The fastest growing category is hair care, while razors demonstrate a bit slowly dynamic. But it must be emphasized that all sectors show a positive trend.
Shaving products are the most well-developed on the market, and Russian men are very familiar with the products manufactured by the key players. At the same time the category aftershave has a great potential for development. Skin care is at least promising category.
Russian men tend to trust on their previous experiences when it comes to buying cosmetics products. Also the opinion of family members is important, but the role of advertising on TV, magazines or Internet remains quite surprisingly very little.
Overall, men spend more on cosmetics than in recent years. Assortment diversification and a trend to a healthy lifestyle play an important role in the segment grow. Manufacturers take into account the characteristics of male skin and a healthy lifestyle trends and offer new products to their customers.
Last year Russian direct sale company Mirra presented shaving foam with anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. Rich formulae is ideal for a comfortably shave even for the most sensitive and irritated skin. Amines cellulose provide excellent distribution of foam and razor glide. The combination of anti-inflammatory properties of Boswellia and the relaxation effect of wheat protein (Deepaline) protect the skin from irritation while shaving. The foam softens and moisturizes the skin.
Cosmetic line for men Phyto Expert (Kalina - Unilever) is based on natural plant extracts. Among recent launches is shampoo to strengthen hair. It has been designed taking into account the structural features of men's hair, thereby achieving the maximum effect. Active formulae restores hair from the inside, nourishing and strengthening them without weighting. Ginseng has a tonic effect , stimulates hair growth. Burdock root strengthens and improves the hair structure. The result is strong, healthy hair without weighting and protection from the negative effects of the environment.
The company Floresan specially designed for men after shave balm For Men active. Formulae with aloe vera extract and vitamin E soothes and protects the skin from inflammation and accelerates its regeneration, menthol cools, tones and moisturizes the skin, leaving it feeling fresh.
Men choose a simple, versatile decision for hair care. The last trend is product like shampoo for hair and body "2-in-1". A man need only one bottle to completely refresh a body and hair. As before, they still neglected air conditioning and extra care products - they simply do not see them as must-have. Russian men are rational and conservative in their choice: once they try a product, they are loyal to it for a long time.
Euromonitor predicts, that Russian men will care more about their appearance and thus will lean towards effective beauty and personal care solutions. Niche areas, which previously had a very low presence in the country, will register the highest development in terms of both quality and quantity. Russian men, who are increasingly caring more about their hygiene and appearance, will prefer to have separate products for themselves, rather use family-targeted goods. The formation of stronger gender segmentation will be supported by manufacturers, which will continue to educate potential consumers with the help of Russian women. They will indulge their men with these products and protect their higher-value beauty and personal care products from being used.

Trust, negotiation, and communication: young adults' experiences of primary care services
Knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, education, and communication
Young adulthood is an important transitional period during which there is a higher risk of individuals engaging in behaviours which could have a lasting impact on their health. Research has shown that young adults are the lowest responders to surveys about healthcare experiences and are also the least satisfied with the care they receive. However, the factors contributing to this reduced satisfaction are not clear. The focus of our research was to explore the needs and experiences of young adults around healthcare services with an aim of finding out possible reasons for lower satisfaction.
Twenty young adults were interviewed at GP surgeries and at a local young adult advice agency, exploring their experiences and use of primary care services. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.
The use of primary care services varied amongst the young adult interviewees. Many interviewees reported positive experiences; those who did not linked their negative experiences to difficulties in negotiating their care with the health care system, and reported issues with trust, and communication difficulties. Most of the interviewees were unaware of the use of patient surveys to inform healthcare planning and delivery and were not inclined to take part, mainly because of the length of surveys and lack of interest in the topic area.
In order to effectively address the health needs of young adults, young adults need to be educated about their rights as patients, and how to most efficiently use primary care services. GPs should be alert to effective means of approaching and handling the healthcare needs of young adults. A flexible, varied approach is needed to gathering high quality data from this group in order to provide services with information on the changes necessary for making primary care services more accessible for young adults.
Patient experience of NHS services has been at the forefront of recent political and healthcare agendae. Experiences and perceptions of primary care services have been documented nationally via the GP Patient Survey (GPPS) since 2006/7. This survey provides healthcare professionals in England and Wales with information regarding access, health professional communication styles, and overall patient satisfaction. Young adults' response rate to the GPPS, however, has been consistently the lowest compared to other age groups and reasons for this low response rate are unclear
Children and young people (under the age of 24) constitute at least 40% of GP workload, but levels of satisfaction with primary care services for young adults (18 to 24 years) remain lower in comparison to older adults
Although there are substantial international data on patient experience of health care services, there is a lack of focus on healthcare experiences of young adults. This is despite growing recognition of the increasing size and importance of this population group
Although young adults are generally thought of as a healthy population
Due to the peak in risk taking behaviours during young adulthood
The age definition of 'young adult' varies across agencies, with some defining a young person as aged between 16 and 24 years
Setting and participants
The study was conducted in two settings in Devon, UK - in 4 GP practices, and in a local advice agency targeting the needs of young people (Connexions). The GP practices differed in terms of list sizes, location and socio-demographic profile. Patients attending appointments were approached in the waiting room and provided with a brief background to the study and invited to take part in an interview regarding their experiences of using primary care services, their experience of and attitude towards patient surveys.
Participants were approached and provided with a recruitment pack (which contained an information sheet, response form and prepaid envelope) and asked if they were able to spare some time to take part in an interview at the point of recruitment. If this was not possible a suitable time and date was arranged to carry out the interviews either at the GP practice or the patient's home.
Connexions, provided permission to recruit and to conduct interviews in one of the private offices on the premises. At the time of this study, Connexions provided an information, advice, guidance and support service for young people aged 13 to 25, around education, employment, housing and healthcare. Young adults were provided with the same information about the study as those recruited in GP practices.
Twenty young adults agreed to take part in face-to-face interviews in either the GP surgery (
Data collection
Semi-structured interviews were conducted by AD using a topic guide which was developed following a literature review
Data analysis
All interviews were transcribed verbatim and then organised for analysis in QSR's NVivo 9(28) software by two researchers (AA & AD). Data was analysed using thematic content analysis. The transcripts were read and were coded according to themes. Themes were modified as further data was collected and analysed. Identification of the themes came from the data and influenced by a literature review conducted prior to the study. A third researcher (MC) blind coded a random selection of 3 transcripts in order to ensure accuracy and consistency across our analyses. Ethical approval for the study was granted by Devon and Torbay NHS Research Ethics Committee.
Over half of the participants were female (65%) and the average age across the sample was 20.75 years. Ninety-five percent of the sample were White British, and only one young adult was from an Asian ethnic group. These figures reflect the population profile of the area, with over ninety percent being from a White British ethnic group
Overview of registration at GP practices
Although most of the young people were registered with a local GP, some (n = 3) were not currently registered. Lack of registration was connected with some kind of residential impermanence, such as having recently moved into the area. Frequency of attendance varied greatly from several times a month to only once in four years. Half of the interviewees (n = 9) had used Walk-In Centres, either for contraception, other sexual health matters, or when they could not get a quick appointment at their GP surgery, such as for injuries.
Emerging issues
There were issues emerging from the data suggesting that specific problems are encountered by this particular age group. These were:
Difficulties with negotiating the primary care system
Issues with mutual trust
Communication difficulties
Difficulties with negotiating the primary care system
As young people in this age group are undergoing the transition from dependence upon their parents to an independent adult life, the task of negotiating their way around the primary care system was often new to them. This inexperience may explain the tendency for some young people in the sample to have a preference to attend walk-in centres, which allows them to avoid arranging an appointment with their GP surgery:
More than half of the young people said they had used a Walk-In Centre, and although this was sometimes for the same reasons as any patient might have, such as needing to see a doctor out of surgery hours or because the location of the centre was more convenient, other reasons given were more likely to be specific to the young age group (see Mutual Trust and Communication sections below).
Some young people had found difficulties with navigating the appointment system in general practices and believed that it was impossible to get quick appointments, even when a medical problem was serious:
However, some young adults were aware of the way the appointments system operated which appeared to be acceptable and suitable to them:
There was further evidence of a lack of familiarity with the service available in doctors' surgeries. For example, one interviewee was unfamiliar with patients' rights and thought it was not possible to choose which doctor he consulted:
The sometimes unstructured nature of some young adults' lives could also act as a barrier to effective use of general practice services, particularly when there was little flexibility in the system. This young woman, for example, found it hard to organise herself to make appointments at the appropriate time:
Although some young adults appeared to be less knowledgeable or experienced in negotiating the appointment system, some individuals were extremely able to negotiate different aspects of the service:
Issues with mutual trust
The young people were asked what was important to them when they attend their GP surgery. A key issue that emerged in response to this was the question of trust between the doctor and the patient. It was clear, for example, that for some of the young people the ideal primary care provider was their own GP, where trust had been built over time through continuity of care:
In addition, familiarity with the doctor appeared to have an impact on the ease with which they could talk to him or her and confidence that they can give the doctor the relevant information:
Most of the young people appreciated being able to have appointments with their own GP and stressed the importance of continuity:
It was important to many interviewees that the doctor should put them at ease, listen to them and take them seriously:
Others were concerned that their GP should be professionally competent:
Despite the high importance of these matters to the young people a number of interviewees gave accounts of incidents or situations which indicated a breakdown in trust. When they were unable to see their own doctor and had appointments with locums or other GPs, some young people felt this had undermined accurate diagnosis:
Some interviewees reported encounters with their GP where they had felt they had not been taken seriously and therefore not accurately diagnosed. One young woman recalled a time when she had approached her GP with a health concern but was ignored when she requested an investigation. According to her, this had resulted in a collapse and hospitalisation:
Subsequently, she was relieved when her present doctor picked up on the condition that previous doctors had dismissed. She was also upset that, in her previous surgery, her concerns about her younger brother were not taken seriously:
In another case a young woman felt the doctor was not trusting her to tell the truth and undertook a blood test without her fully informed consent:
Another breakdown in trust that was mentioned by the young people related to concerns regarding breaches or potential breaches of confidentiality. One interviewee had experienced this when the GP talked to her aunt (with whom the young woman was currently residing) about something the young woman had shared in a consultation:
Other young women in the sample expressed concerns about the level of confidentiality offered by primary care services. There was a particular concern that the family GP would not respect their need for this with regard to contraception services:
Indeed, one reason Walk-In Centres were used by both young women and men was for matters related to sexual health. One young man, for example, who explained that despite the fact that he had a long and close relationship with his own GP,
Communication difficulties
As mentioned above (Issues with mutual trust) the interviewees stressed the need for good communication with their doctor, who ideally would listen to them and explain things clearly and easily.
Sometimes when the young person was unable to see their own doctor, there appeared to be a breakdown in communication, which could lead subsequently to a reluctance to go for treatment:
Another issue that was raised by the young people was the kind of language that doctors use in consultations. Some experienced this as a barrier to understanding, especially when specialist medical language was used:
It was also suggested that the level of communication in respect of practice services might sometimes be lacking, resulting in young people being unaware of what services were offered there, and so going elsewhere for help. One young woman (611) who seemed particularly independent, having moved on her own to the area from a considerable distance away at the age of 17 years, commented that many of her friends were unaware that they could go to their GP for contraceptive services or other sexual health issues:
However, some interviewees expressed positive experiences with the way their GPs communicated with them. They were appreciative when their GP was sympathetic, listened to them and gave them time and the opportunity to explain themselves:
Interviewees also made positive comments when their doctor took time to explain things to them clearly and made appropriate referrals:
Young adults and patient surveys
Interviewees were also asked for their views about patient feedback surveys, whether they had taken part in them or whether they thought they would do so if they had the opportunity. They were also asked how best such information might be gathered from young adults and whether they would consult the resulting data to inform them about their doctor's surgery. Only one interviewee was sure that she had taken part in a patient survey and one other remembered being sent one, but did not participate. Others were mostly completely unaware of such surveys.
Two of the interviewees took the idea of patient surveys seriously and wanted the opportunity to feedback their experiences and views:
A number of the interviewees, however, felt that the majority of their age group would not be interested because of the lack of interest in the topic area:
Attitudes toward patient surveys varied but were mostly quite ambivalent. For example, the one young person who had taken part in a primary care survey admitted that she had only done so because her parent suggested it was useful, "
Around a third of the interviewees said they would be unlikely to participate in a patient survey and the rest stated that, hypothetically, they might be interested, with various caveats. For example, some said they would respond if the survey was short and restricted to tick boxes, some said they would only be likely to complete one if it was online and an incentive was given. Others felt they would be most likely to respond if it was presented in the waiting room of their surgery to be completed in situ.
Given the proliferation of social networking amongst young people it was thought that perhaps online surveys might appeal more to the interviewees, but some uncertainty was expressed, and it was felt that an incentive would be needed:
Others felt that a questionnaire presented to young people in their doctor's surgery would elicit a better response than a postal survey
One interviewee thought the best place to distribute surveys was in college environments where they could be structured into the timetable:
Some of the interviewees said they were interested in viewing the results of their own GP surgery's patient survey, although it was generally felt that results available in the surgery waiting room were preferable to online information. Others, however, felt that personal experience was the best gauge of quality of care,
In this sample, young adults' use of primary care services varied from rare attendance to frequent visits. Reported experiences of primary care services and with professionals were generally positive. However, the transition from adolescence to adulthood appears to give rise to specific problems for young adult users, including difficulties negotiating the primary care system, issues with mutual trust and communication difficulties with their GP. An accumulation of a lack of experience in negotiating and understanding the healthcare system and a problematic relationship with the GP led to some young adults using other, more obviously available primary care services, such as the walk-in centre.
The idea that young people lack the cognitive or psychosocial maturity to effectively use the health care system is not novel
There is recognition that a smooth transition from child and adolescent care to adult care for individuals suffering from chronic physical and medical conditions is important and best practice guidelines have been developed to ensure services address the needs of young adults during this transitional period
Effective communication between the patient and GP is integral in any successful consultation. Our research has shown that young people consider the communication skills of both the healthcare professional and the patient to be important aspects of the consultation process. There are difficulties in this regard as our results showed that some GPs are not perceived to take young adults' health concerns seriously or to explain things clearly. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) recognise the importance of GP communication and how effective communication skills can help build trust in the GP-patient relationship which can be strengthened over time through continuity of care
The introduction of the salaried service for GPs where the length of the contract may be shorter also means that GPs can move practice more often. Providing stability and continuity of care with familiar health professionals, which has emerged as important to young adults, will be a challenge to the new generation of primary care providers who are more mobile than their predecessors. Understanding how GPs move between different practices has an effect on the provision of continuity of care to patients is important as it has been identified by young adults as a significant aspect of care, however it is currently under-researched.
Another concern raised by interviewees related to informed consent and confidentiality, especially with regard to sexual health issues. There was also a lack of understanding about their rights as patients once young people become legally responsible for their own healthcare. Our findings suggest that specific targeted leaflets providing young adults with information regarding their rights as a patient may be beneficial in educating, empowering and enabling them to take responsibility for their healthcare. Assurance from the GP about the confidential way in which personal information is handled is essential early on in the process, as this will assist in the development of mutual trust between the patient and GP.
Communication problems are also experienced at a practice level as young adults are unclear about the services that are offered within their own surgeries. The lack of clarity around service availability lies both with the clinician and patient. Due to technological advancements and the increased use of social media, it is important for providers to consider creative ways to convey information about their services to the younger population. Equally, younger patients should be able to identify a preferred method for receiving information regarding their GP surgery. Our findings suggest that patients and providers should work together in order to achieve a service which addresses patient needs through the means of communication appropriate for the different age groups (e.g. use of email/text for younger patients and more traditional methods for older patients).
Every year the lowest responders to the national GPPS are young adults aged between 18 and 24. The attitudes of our young adult interviewees towards surveys were mostly ambivalent. The majority were unaware of the existence of a national survey, and only a minority of respondents stated that they would complete it. The reasons suggested for the low participation rates of young adults mainly related to the length of the questionnaire and the topic area. Many young adults expressed little interest in completing a long survey about their perceptions and experiences of a health care service. Despite this, some young adults recognised that their responses were important, as they might affect the services provided in the future. Incentives and online surveys were highlighted as possible methods of increasing response rates to such surveys, as well as shortening the length.
Strengths and limitations
Despite previous quantitative studies investigating the perceptions and experiences of patients accessing primary care services, to the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few studies in the UK specifically focusing on the primary healthcare needs and experiences of the young adult population. Previous quantitative studies have shown that young adults report more negative experiences with their healthcare providers in comparison to other age groups
Another limitation of this study was the lack of sufficient information about non-responders; we were unable to assess whether or not they had different characteristics from those who participated. The demographic details relating to our participants were diverse, however, and there was a wide range of experiences reported.
The World Health Organisation has identified young people's health as a global priority. Research conducted in England has shown that young adults report the poorest experience in health care in comparison to all other adult age groups. However, this is not limited to the UK and similar findings have been reported elsewhere resulting in young adults making the decision not to use that service again
Given the potential barriers to full use of primary care services, special attention needs to be paid to the manner in which data is gathered from young adults in patient surveys, so that good quality information is obtained about experiences and improvements subsequently implemented. Surveys completed in the surgery or in college environments may be the best way to obtain information, but a multi-method approach may well be successful, including online options (with the provision of incentives) and options exploring technological platforms (such as mobile phone surveys or in-practice real-time data collection). Failure to specifically address the health needs of young adults may represent a false economy, with inadequate addressing of health problems now stirring up future challenges not only for NHS healthcare, but for healthcare services across the world.

Apple's Q3 earnings up
SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple's growth prospects are looking brighter as anticipation builds for the upcoming release of the next iPhone, a model that is expected to cater to consumers yearning for a bigger screen.
The latest evidence of Apple's mounting momentum emerged Tuesday with the release of the company's fiscal third-quarter report.
Earnings topped analysts' projections for the period as Apple Inc. sold 35.2 million iPhones. That was a 13 per cent increase from the same time last year, even though many people are believed to be holding off on new device purchases until the next version comes out this fall.
"From an execution perspective, we did a really great job," Apple chief financial officer Luca Maestri said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We have some things in the pipeline that we think people will really be excited about."
Apple earned US$7.7 billion, or US$1.28 per share, for the three months ending June 28. That represented a 12 per cent increase from income of US$6.9 billion, or US$1.07 per share, at the same time last year.
The earnings per share for the latest quarter exceeded the average estimate of US$1.23 per share among analysts surveyed by FactSet.
Revenue rose six per cent from last year to US$37.4 billion -- about US$600 million below analysts' forecasts.
Income off at Microsoft
REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. reported fourth-quarter earnings that took a hit from the Nokia devices business it bought in April, but the company said growth in Internet-based computing services to businesses boosted results.
Net income in the three months through June 30 fell seven per cent to US$4.61 billion, or 55 cents per share, from US$4.97 billion, or 59 cents per share, a year ago.
Microsoft said the absorption of the Nokia unit cut eight cents per share from earnings. It lost another net three cents on restructuring and tax-related items. Excluding those items, earnings hit 66 cents per share, beating the 60 cents expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue rose 18 per cent to US$23.4 billion, although US$2 billion came from the Nokia unit. That was slightly better than the US$23 billion analysts were looking for.
Shares rose 16 cents to US$44.99 in after-hours trading following the release.
Microsoft announced last week it is cutting up to 18,000 jobs over the next year, mostly related to Nokia. Most of the US$1.1 billion to US$1.6 billion in restructuring charges for the cut will be recorded in the coming two quarters.
The company is transitioning to provide more of its software and services to mobile devices that are linked to distant back-end servers known as the cloud.
A&W's sales up, profit down
VANCOUVER -- A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund said Tuesday its second-quarter profit fell to $4.1 million, but total sales were up about 12 per cent as the fast food chain repositions its brand with beef raised without the use of hormones.
The burger franchise earned $5.6 million in the same quarter last year.
Excluding non-cash gains and losses on interest-rate swaps, the fund said it earned nearly $5 million in its latest quarter, up from $4.2 million a year ago.
Total sales reported by A&W restaurants in the royalty pool for the quarter were $221 million, an increase of 11.9 per cent from sales of $197.3 million year-over-year.
The number of restaurants in the royalty pool increased to 790 from 760 in the same period last year.
Last September, A&W announced its Canadian outlets would no longer use beef from cattle that received steroid or hormone injections in its burgers.
"Our move to beef raised without the use of hormones and steroids continues to generate excellent consumer response," said Paul Hollands, president and CEO of A&W Food Services of Canada Inc.
"Overall, we are pleased with the success of our strategic initiatives to reposition, strengthen and expand the A&W brand."
Same-store sales (at stores open for at least a year) for the second quarter of 2014 were up seven per cent compared with growth of 0.4 per cent a year ago.
Year-to-date sales were $404.5 million, an increase of 10.2 per cent from sales of $367.1 million for 2013 year-to-date. The increase in sales was due to higher sales from the 30 net new restaurants added to the royalty pool on Jan. 5, 2014 and the same-store sales growth.

After meeting a girl at a club/dance. Like a friday night downtown night. Is it better to call or text, because you both were most likely drunk while meeting and exchanging numbers. Would you like a call or be like wow, already loves me? or a text and decide if you would like to keep in touch
Most Helpful Girl
Text. Throw in your name and where you met her as a quick reminder, tell her you'd like to see her again. I have never forgotten the guys who really caught my eye on a night out, no matter how drunk I was, so if she's interested she will remember you and respond.00|00|1

From the moment I first saw Big Hero 6's Baymax, I knew he was made to be turned into adorable edibles. The latest dessert to feature the inflatable robot is from Nerdache Cakes: Baymax cake pops! I want to hug them before eating them. Ant goes through the step-by-step for making the treats, and it doesn't seem too difficult. Well, at least the version without armor doesn't.
Watch the how-to after the break.

Join us for a collection of stories about our circumnavigation over 7 years to 35 countries, on our 47' ketch 'Gromit'. Hear how we began as a scattered family of 5, learning how to live aboard and sail on the ocean, and over time, became a 5-person team. We'll tell you about the highlights, our lowest moments, the joys and our exciting adventures of life aboard and abroad. We've had incredible and unforgettable experiences, that shaped us in ways we never expected.
We started small in our 20s - an Olympic 470 - 4.7 metres (15 feet) and with one big jump in our 40s, we landed in a 47' Olympic Adventure blue water cruiser. Michael pointed out that we simply moved the decimal point! The dream started in the early 1990s, with a 7 year plan that the two of us would sail the world. Our family of two grew to a family of 5 and alas, our dream faded....until 2002, when it was rekindled with a bang! Three years later, having never sailed anything but dinghes, we climbed aboard our blue water cruiser. After a season in Georgian Bay, we widened our driveway and brought Gromit home for the big refit. For three years we worked, we dreamed, we despaired and finally succeeded, so that in 2008, with our kids aged 6,7 and 10, we sailed out of Hamilton Harbour, Ontario for the adventure of a lifetime!
