"Strive for progress, not perfection."
This was the quote embossed in beautiful gold letters that graced a soft pink cover of a journal I happened to spy one day out shopping. I fully recall the moment I saw it, laying there tucked under numerous other journals, slightly crumpled and seemingly forgotten. With cat-like reflexes I scooped it up, dropped it promptly into my shopping cart and gave a little mental note of thanks towards this spiral bound blessing….
So begins the opening page of my much cared for, and much-fretted over book. This is a loving tribute to vintage fashion and the women in my life who have given me the courage and knowledge to create and publish my first book. Each of the nine patterns featured in this book are based off of originals, yet can easily be blended into one's modern wardrobe. Using a pattern guide system, one is able to create truly custom patterns that can be altered and tweaked as one desires!
Below is an excerpt from the book….
Tools, Tips + Tricks:
Each one of the patterns outlined in this book are completely self-drafted. Using your own measurements and the tools listed out below, you will be able to create custom (and I mean custom) patterns that will fit your specific body shape. If you have never drafted a pattern before, here are a few rules and tips to keep in mind.
1. When in doubt, draft (and therefore cut out) a little larger than you think you will need. You can always take away, but it is very difficult to add. The guide does not include seam allowances, so be sure to add those in when you cut out your pieces.
2. Fit, fit and fit again. After you make your paper pattern, check it for fit, especially around the armhole and bust. Fit again after you stitch the shoulder and side seams of the fabric bodice and, yes, once more when you are done. Proper fit should always be on the forefront of your mind.
3. Be patient! Like all new things, a learning curve is to be expected. Don't give up if your first draft is slightly wonky or too short. Take it as an opportunity to make a better draft the next time!
4. Don't be surprised if you like pattern drafting! It can be surprisingly contagious. Once you create a few patterns, you will be surprised at how quickly the skill will grow and open up a whole new world of sewing!
Even if you are brand, spanking new to the world of pattern drafting, there are patterns in this book that you can do right now! Each pattern is graded on a difficulty level of 1-3. Simply used this number guide to point you on the road to success!
The Lucille Top
Level 3
This is truly one of those patterns that can be made in a multitude of fabrics to accommodate a variety of events and climates. You can wear it with a cardigan, by itself with a pair of cropped pants or imagine one out of silk tucked into a poufy circle skirt… The possibilities are truly endless.

An hour-glass on the run, A mist retreating from the morning sun, A busy, bustling, still-repeated dream. Its length? A minute's pause, a moment's thought. And Happiness? A bubble on the stream, That in the act of seizing shrinks to nought. And what is Hope? The puffing gale of morn, That of its charms divests the dewy lawn, And robs each flow'ret of its gem -and dies; A cobweb, hiding disappointment's thorn, Which stings more keenly through the thin disguise. And what is Death? Is still the cause unfound? That dark mysterious name of horrid sound? A long and lingering sleep the weary crave. And Peace? Where can its happiness abound? Nowhere at all, save heaven and the grave. Then what is Life? When stripped of its disguise, A thing to be desired it cannot be; Since everything that meets our foolish eyes Gives proof sufficient of its vanity. 'Tis but a trial all must undergo, To teach unthankful mortals how to prize That happiness vain man's denied to know, Until he's called to claim it in the skies.

New generation: Growing up reading Rachel Carson, scientists unravel risks of new pesticides
Part 13 of Winged Warnings
By Alanna Mitchell
Environmental Health News
September 25, 2014
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan – Christy Morrissey is driving her white pickup truck along the endless prairie highway, windows open, listening for birds. She points to the scatter of ponds glinting in the landscape, nestled among fields of canola that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Formed by retreating glaciers 12,000 years ago and fed each spring by melted snow, these tiny potholes are the lifeblood of the prairies, the kidneys that drain impurities and the cradle that replenishes life.
But when Morrissey looks at these ponds, she sees something few others do. An ecotoxicologist at the University of Saskatchewan, she knows that nearly every pond is laced with neonicotinoids, the world's most widely used insecticides, deadly to insects at a minute dose of a few parts per trillion.
|Alanna Mitchell
Like biologist Rachel Carson, whose 1962 book Silent Spring warned about the devastating effects of DDT, Morrissey is mounting a scientific quest to figure out if these new pesticides are harming living things they're not intended to kill, including birds. She is part of a new generation of scientists in North America and Europe investigating a new generation of chemicals. Growing up reading Carson's work, these researchers are using more sophisticated diagnostic tools to continue the work Carson started more than a half-century ago.
"Both Christy and Rachel started in the same place, with a profound appreciation for wildlife and natural systems," said Cynthia Palmer, director of pesticide science and regulation for the American Bird Conservancy, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C. "Both came to realize that the chemical cocktails of their day threatened to derail conservation efforts for the wild organisms they studied and cared about."
Unlike DDT, neonicotinoids don't appear to accumulate in the tissues of warm-blooded creatures but they may have other subtle, widespread effects that Morrissey and other researchers are only now beginning to pinpoint. Several studies have found that the chemicals are killing so many ecologically important insects that they are having widespread effects on whole ecosystems, particularly bees. In addition, evidence is mounting about effects on birds: In the Netherlands, birds are declining in proportion with neonicotinoid levels in waters. In the Canadian prairies, Morrissey's early results suggest that birds and chicks are unhealthier near the treated fields. An experiment in Spain found that when captive partridges consumed neonic-coated seeds, they had fewer chicks and suppressed immunity. And one analysis concluded that birds might be poisoned if they eat just one or two seeds.
|Pete Myers
Born two years after the 1972 DDT ban, Morrissey said its legacy and lessons – which she still teaches to her students – underpin how her generation of chemical sleuths investigates these new compounds. Ecotoxicologists today, she said, are at the forefront of informing a public that has become complacent about the dangers of chemicals.
"Both [Carson and Morrissey] came to realize that the chemical cocktails of their day threatened to derail conservation efforts for the wild organisms they studied and cared about." –Cynthia Palmer, American Bird Conservancy "In this field we all have to have some bulldog in us, some tenacity," said Karen Kidd, an ecotoxicologist and Canada research chair in chemical contaminants of food webs at the University of New Brunswick. Morrissey, she said, is tackling some of the toughest emerging questions. "We're driven to find out what's going on."
But Morrissey, like most scientists, is not a campaigner; she's a cautious investigator. The key ingredients of her work are striving for impeccable methodology, refusing to draw conclusions ahead of the facts and continuing to press for answers to new questions. Pierre Mineau, an expert on pesticides and their effects on birds who served with Morrissey on a global task force on systemic pesticides, said she frequently pushed the members of that group to be more moderate in their conclusions. But on the other hand, he said, once the science is clear, she refuses to pull her punches.
A basic question haunts Morrissey. Bug-eating birds are in decline and if that's from unintended consequences of pesticides used worldwide – as it was for DDT in the 1960s – she wants to know so she can advise regulators. Because of this, Palmer calls her "the most important researcher out there" when it comes to neonicotinoids and birds.
It helps that new tools allow today's scientists to find concentrations in the parts per trillion, unimaginably low to researchers even a few decades ago, but, as it turns out, significant to some creatures. Even though concentrations are often low, the sheer number of manmade chemicals in the environment today is much greater and the span far wider than during Carson's days.
"Sometimes I feel like it's a Hydra: You cut off one head and several more spring up," says Cynthia de Wit, a professor of environmental science at Sweden's Stockholm University who studies wildlife and human exposures to chemicals. "It becomes almost a frantic feeling. You're just looking at one and they've developed 10 more. You just can't keep up with the pace."

Intense and increasing scrutiny
Four years ago, when Morrissey was 36 years old, fresh out of a post-doc in Wales and newly arrived on the prairies, she didn't even know what neonicotinoids were, much less that they were contaminating prairie waters. In fact, she'd never heard of them until she called Mineau, who then was working with Environment Canada. She asked his advice about what to study.
He said: "Neonicotinoids!" She paused for a beat. And then she said: "You're going to have to spell that for me."
Today, these pesticides, cherished by farmers for the past 20 years for their effectiveness in killing crop pests, are under intense and increasing scrutiny around the world. They are used to coat most canola and corn seeds and many soy seeds in North America, as well as treat some fruit and vegetable crops and garden plants. The best-selling neonicotinoid compound, imidacloprid, is registered for use on more than 140 crops in 120 countries and is used in more than 400 products sold in the United States, according to the National Pesticide Information Center. Now accounting for one-third of all insecticides used globally, the neonicotinoid market was worth $2.63 billion in 2009 and is on the rise.
Last year, the European Commission banned neonics on some crops for two years due to concerns that they are poisoning bees. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which says its scientific conclusions about acute effects on bees are "similar" to those that led to Europe's ban, plans to complete its review of neonicotinoids in 2016 or 2017. Canada's most populous province, Ontario, is considering reducing or eliminating them; honey producers there filed a $360-million class action lawsuit against the two main manufacturers.
Now accounting for one-third of all insecticides used globally, the neonicotinoid market was worth $2.63 billion in 2009 and is on the rise.Morrissey says the effect on bees is only one piece of a more complex picture. Even more important to her is the pesticides' presence in water, and what might be happening to the creatures that depend on the water – especially birds.
It's clear that the biggest threat to prairie birds is the loss of the places they live due to conversion to farmland, cities and other human development, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. But some birds, including swallows and others that scoop up insects as they fly, are in sharp, recent decline across Europe and North America for unknown reasons. Barn swallow numbers, for example, have plummeted 70 to 80 percent in the past few decades, a phenomenon that has scientists mystified. One of the few links among these imperiled flying bug-eaters is that many of them nest in areas where pesticides are common.
But Morrissey knows that if neonics are playing a role, it's a subtle one. They aren't the virulent, obvious bird-killers that some older chemicals were, poisoning hawks, eagles and robins and depleting their populations by thinning their eggs. Nevertheless, she wondered, could neonics be posing an indirect, potentially more widespread threat to birds?
Going to the heart of an ecosystem
Growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Morrissey didn't start off interested in pesticides or toxicology. She wanted to be a veterinarian and got her first degree in zoology. But an internship in the late 1990s changed everything when several scientists in the Canadian Wildlife Service hired Morrissey to help figure out what was killing bald eagles in British Columbia. "My eyes just opened to possibilities I didn't know about," she said.
It turned out that the bald eagles were eating the corpses of ducks that had died after consuming crops treated with a class of pesticide that came before neonics and after DDT: the cholinesterase inhibitors such as carbamates. There was still so much pesticide in the ducks' bodies that the eagles that fed on them were poisoned, too. Morrissey and her colleagues were rushing to find antidotes and even to get the sick eagles into veterinary labs so surgeons could cut into their gullets and remove the poison. It was the most exciting work she could imagine, going right to the heart of how a whole ecosystem works.

"In this field we all have to have some bulldog in us, some tenacity. We're driven to find out what's going on." –Karen Kidd, University of New Brunswick "It ticked all the boxes for me," she says, driving along a Saskatchewan highway, on her way to check some of her field stations.
A couple more degrees and a four-year stint in Wales after her PhD, and Morrissey found herself in Saskatoon in 2010 with a teaching position, grad students, a new pesticide in her vocabulary and a $5,000 grant to map where neonics were being used and how much was left on the land. She was shocked to learn that more than 27 million acres of Canadian prairie were seeded with canola and that virtually every seed was covered with neonics – either in pink or in blue, depending on the manufacturer – before it was planted. And that didn't count all the other crops, such as corn, soy, oats and barley, planted with treated seeds.
Morrissey started wondering whether the chemical stuck around like DDT did. So in the spring of 2012, with her grad student Anson Main, she sampled 136 potholes before crops were seeded, just to get baseline measurements of their chemistry. They didn't expect to find neonics in the water, so they were surprised that more than one-third of the ponds contained at least one neonic compound that spring. That number rose shortly after seeding, as expected, and fell in the fall.
|Nicole Michel
But the real shocker came the following spring – 2013 was a wet one – when they tested the same ponds again before seeding. Ninety-one percent of the ponds contained neonics at levels toxic to insects. Their conclusion: The chemicals must persist in the soil and then be washed into ponds. In other words, they not only stick around, they migrate far beyond the fields they are intended to treat.
Ninety-one percent of the ponds contained neonics at levels toxic to insects. Their conclusion: The chemicals must persist in the soil and then be washed into ponds.A similar phenomenon was reported across the U.S. Midwest. Neonics were present in rivers throughout Iowa – where corn and soybeans treated with the chemicals are grown intensively, in watersheds stretching more than 320,000 square miles. The chemicals were found "more frequently and in higher concentrations" than earlier generations of pesticides, the authors said.
For an ecotoxicologist like Morrissey, all this was a game-changer. Pesticides' toxicological profiles fall into two categories, either acute or chronic, according to how long they last. A pesticide that kills and then vanishes quickly is assessed as an acute toxicant. The ecosystem can tolerate high levels but only for a short period. If it persists for 10 percent or more of a creature's lifespan that means it needs to be assessed as chronic or long-term. And that means the amount that can cause harm is far lower because it's spread out over time. Morrissey's pond results meant that neonics now had to be examined through the lens of the long-term toxicant.
To make matters more pressing, Morrissey's lab results showed that neonics were far more toxic to some insects than the manufacturers' studies had shown. To obtain approval for use, the companies performed short-term toxicity tests on the water flea, Daphnia magna, a standard for pesticides. But Morrissey's work showed that the water flea, a crustacean rather than an insect, is unusually insensitive to the chemicals – about 1,000 times less sensitive than the average of all other species tested. When neonics are tested on key wetland insects such as midges, caddisflies and mayflies, they are between 10,000 and 100,000 times more toxic than they are to the water fleas. That means that ecologically important invertebrates are likely affected at levels already present in the wild.
"It's now crystal clear. Neonicotinoids have the chemical properties of long persistence, solubility in water and acute toxicity to some insects," Morrissey says. "And that triggers concern."
It was only the beginning.

Commodity markets and the international transmission of fiscal shocks
The "engine of growth" argument holds that an economic expansion in a large country increases the growth of its trading partners. Growth in developing countries is routinely linked to growth patterns in the Industrial economies. This paper examines the role of commodity markets in transmitting disturbances internationally and finds that contrary to the implications of the "engine of growth" argument, a fiscal-induced expansion in a large commodity-importing country could either increase or decrease growth in the developing commodity-exporting country, and unambiguously reduces output in the second commodity-importing country.

Crazy cat ladies unite!
Last week my friend Susan approached me about linking up with her for Caturday Saturday. She and I are so similar it's scary. It's now gotten to the point where one of us does something, then finds out the other has just done something nearly identical, and the response is just, "well of course you did." I say this, because last Friday, a couple of days before she brought it up, I started thinking about doing a Caturday post. I hadn't mentioned it to anyone, so yeah. Creepy.
Anyways. Buddy's been trying to escape lately. He's super smart, and knows when people are at their most vulnerable. For example, he knows when I come in with my hands full, that's the best time to make a break for it.
These days, I find it charming. Once upon a time, it was terrifying.
January 2012, he escaped one night when Graham got up to let Hermione out. He shot out, jumped the fence, and we didn't see him for three days.
I was heart broken.
Thankfully (and obviously), he came back. Three nights after he left, I walked by the back doors and saw him just hanging out. Worried I would spook him, I yelled for Graham for reinforcements before going to get him.
For the next year and a half, we were on constant alert any time a door opened. There were times we actually tackled him when he did get out. Even better was when Hermione started tackling him when he got out.
The amount we pay each month for rent each hurts a little less knowing he's safe when he gets out (which lately is every time I open the door). I know he'll go into the secure, safe, hallway. I know he'll sniff the plants, go to Shana & Elliott's door (he's intrigued by their dog), and I know that nothing bad can happen to him.
We'd love to hear from more crazy cat ladies in the blogosphere! Be sure to link up with us with any cat related post on
Saturday Caturday.

Little blues out for count
For the first time the number of little blue penguins nesting around Timaru's coastline will be known after a count next Wednesday, weather permitting.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) estimates the penguins have been returning to breed for at least 15 years, and their numbers are slowly rising.
DOC community relations ranger George Iles, who is organising the inaugural census, said they had found nest sites under Benvenue cliffs, at the eastern extension, and along Caroline Bay's Marine Parade. Now he was hoping to get accurate numbers of individual birds.
Because penguin parents take day about, staying with their chicks or going out to sea to feed, Mr Isles said the counters would be on the beach and along the rocky coastline at dusk, watching the birds come ashore as they swapped roles. The little blues usually have up to two chicks a season which become independent at eight weeks.
As well as DOC, Arowhenua residents, Forest & Bird, Kiwi Conservation Club, Timaru District Council and concerned residents will work together to collect the data.
Mr Isles said this was the first step to establishing what problems the penguins may face. He said they were limited in where they could breed as steep terrain prevented them getting ashore.
He said it was far too early to consider penguin tours like those at the Oamaru colony but he believed members of the public were interested in protecting the birds.
"I can't say what the outcomes [of the count] will be but it's exciting. And we can give them the opportunity to flourish."

For online marketers, the benefits of CRO(Conversion rate optimization) are endless, however, you should be able to apply the CRO correctly to get the perfect results and improve the testing success rates. Therefore, before you begin with the testing, it is essential to take correct steps to set yourself up for utmost success. Before you start with an ideation for CRO, its best to gain solid understanding of a qualitative and quantative data. This helps in further developing a right frame to brainstorm, whenever you want to execute a new tactic on your account. This ensures better chances of succeeding.
Integration of the Qualitative Data
The tests are based on the analytics data and because of the performance of numeric metrics and the performance of KPIs, it has become certain that we cannot be neglecting the importance of the data. However, to get the highest profit potential, it is important to understand the qualitative understanding. Qualitative understanding includes understanding customer requirements, needs and how well they are interacting with your site.
Following are some of the questions that will help you understand your customers needs and help you to further effectively communicate and convince your customer to purchase by removing any previous elements that were prohibiting your site to produce desired conversion rate.
- What is making your customers purchase your product?
- What is it that they are missing if they are not buying it?
- What opportunities will your product provide them with?
- What is the main reason or motivation behind the purchase?
- Have they tried buying the similar product before?
- What benefits or advantages they see after buying your product?
- How do your customers plan on using the product?
To get a better understanding on what has worked for your in converting customers and you can learn more from your current customers by asking them the following questions:
- How did your customers find about you?
- What did you customers like about your landing page and ads?
- What information did they like on your page?
- If there were one thing that they want you to change about your site or landing page, what would that be?
To understand why people who visited your website and did not purchase, you would like to ask the following questions:
- Why did they not purchase from your site?
- Were they able to find everything they were looking for on your website?
- Upon visiting your website, they wanted to purchase or chose to purchase from the competitor's website?
- How could you have persuaded them to purchase the product?
Another way to get a better understanding of why, what's, and How's on the conversion rate, it is also essential and helpful to look through the competitor's website.
How to Gather Qualitative Data
Gathering data can be done with the following ways:
- Get connected to your customers personally: Invest some of your time in calling and getting connected to your customers to have them answers questions for you. This way, you can suddenly give a good push to the conversion rate.
- Ask your representatives: Have a meeting with the top performers from the customer service teams and sales team to get their inputs on the sales and how to improve customer experience and get more sales. Always ask about the complaints they are getting to work on the weak points of your site.
- Analyze on site behaviour: To understand customer's behaviour, have the software like CrazyEgg and ClickTale installed on your site, which captures where all your customers clicked and also provide you with small snippets as they navigate your web pages.
- Incorporate Surveys: You customer service team can provide your customers with free tools like SurveyMonkey, which enables customers to enter into sweepstakes to win gift cards.

Principal or Vice Principal Principal, New Visions AIM II High School, Bronx
Job Description
Organizational Mission and Vision
New Visions Charter High Schools (NVCHS) provide all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility and rigor. We ensure that our students have the skills and knowledge to graduate ready for college, pursue a career, and engage with the 21st century economy. Our schools shift classroom dynamics from one where students receive information to one where students find solutions to community-defined problems by using their imagination coupled with a mastery of content and skills. We develop learning experiences that allow risk-taking, cultivate students' imaginative and creative abilities, and celebrate achievement. Within our network of ten charter schools, we support two charter schools–AIM I and AIM II– that provide youth who face the greatest obstacles to successful high school completion with the supports, experiences and opportunities they need to graduate high school prepared for a successful transition into a post-secondary academic or work preparatory program.

- Building trusting relationships that foster a safe community, honor student perspectives, and enable intentional socio-emotional learning;

Things heat up with this densely plotted continuation. After Kira has been recalled to Bajor, she spends some time with Vedek Bareil only to be abducted by the Bajoran extremist group The Circle, led by the sinister Minister Jaro (Frank Langella, in a memorable guest performance). Meanwhile, Sisko learns that the Circle plans a coup, taking over the Bajoran government and driving out the Federation.
The script, beautifully written by the incomparable Peter Allan Fields, deftly juggles all the different elements and the result is a breath-taking, exhilarating combination of political drama, powerful characterisation and well-judged comedy (the scene in Kira's quarters as she prepares to leave is a sheer delight). Brilliant.

|Unit Information
|Game Strategies
The Citizen is the worker class unit in Rise of Nations. Citizens are used to gather most of the resources (Food, Timber, Metal, Oil) and to construct and repair buildings. They are created at a City.
A unique aspect to Rise of Nations is that citizens do not always remain idle after creation (as set by default in the options). After a brief moment, idle citizens will seek out work in nearby construction sites, unoccupied resource gather sites, construct buildings, and repair damaged buildings. This option can be enabled or disabled via the settings menu. The amount of time citizens will remain idle before seeking work can also be increased or decreased in the settings menu.
Citizens To Arms! Edit
Citizens have the ability to fight enemy units or structures in melee, but they are very weak. However, from the Classical Age on, players may research Militia at a Tower, allowing Citizens and Scholars to take up arms and become Militia units. This will drastically improve both their offensive and defensive abilities. However, they will still be fairly weak compared to military units and should only be used as a last line of defense or against raids by ranged cavalry. The upgrades also increase the Citizens' hit points, making them somewhat more durable against attacks. While serving as Militia, citizens and scholars cannot perform their regular tasks.
Nation Powers Edit
- The Chinese create Citizens instantly.
- The Koreans receive free Citizens when founding a new city. Their citizens also repair twice as quickly and are not damaged by attacks on the building while repairing.
- Bantu Citizens move 25% faster.
- Turk Citizens are 33% cheaper (7 Food cheaper each).
Trivia Edit
- As a nation advances through the ages, the appearance of the citizens will reflect the era the player is in. In the Ancient Age, citizens will resemble basic hunter-gatherer types. Reaching the Gunpowder Age, citizens acquire more clothing, resembling fashions of the Modern Period. Finally, from the Industrial Age onwards, citizens will resemble the working class of the present day.
- The negligible attack of unarmed citizens is represented by their amusing animation: Desperately kicking and flailing their arms in a vertical slapping motion in the face of a most probably doomed situation.

Music piracy using sites like Napster won't be stopped, either by digital rights management (DRM) or by lawsuits. As piracy increases and artists and authors break away from publishers to go independent, record labels and book publishers will lose $3.1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, by 2005, according to a new report from Forrester Research.
But movie studios and game publishers have less to fear and more time to plan a profitable digital media strategy.
"Consumers demand access to content by any means necessary," said analyst Eric Scheirer. "Neither digital security nor lawsuits will stop Internet theft of content. Regardless of whether they consider Napster right or wrong, traditional publishers must focus on beating it at its own game. They must create compelling services with the content consumers want, in the formats they want, using the business models they want."
Executives interviewed* say that they will use DRM technology to stop file-sharing, the technology that Napster depends on, and sue Internet companies and consumers that don't respect their copyrights. But after speaking with several dozen DRM vendors, it is clear that this two-pronged strategy is unlikely to succeed.
"DRM can't prevent filesharing, nor will business models that depend on the control of content ever reap sustainable revenues," continued Scheirer. "Consumers don't want business rules or restrictive technology – and it only takes one person to break down the security barriers and share content on the Net. Lawsuits will only succeed in driving consumers to underground Internet services like Gnutella and Freenet."
Forrester uses the term "collapse of control" to refer to the chaos that ensues in a content industry when viral filesharing satisfies consumer demand for content and transforms distribution-based businesses. Collapse of control won't destroy the music and publishing industries, but it will cause a major shift in their power structures.
"There will always be a market for content. But as control over distribution slips away from major publishers, a lot of the money they're making today will instead be earned by artists and service vendors," Scheirer added. Musicians will gain $1 billion, authors $1.3 billion, and third-party service companies $2.8 billion by 2005 in a historic transfer of revenues.
Surprisingly, the danger of collapse is likely to be much less acute for companies in the movie and videogame industries. Consumer demand for movies, television, and videogame content is different in important ways from the demand for music and books.
"The urge to collect and flexibly organize music, make custom playlists and CDs, and play my favorite songs thousands of times is a large part of the appeal of Napster. But this urge doesn't hold for films. Movie companies will be able to avoid losing control over their content, even without DRM, as long as they make video-on-demand services available in the next few years."
To compete with viral distribution technologies, entertainment companies that face collapse must aggressively reposition themselves as service organizations, in order to develop compelling service offerings for consumers and artists. These companies must aggregate production and promotion skills to discover, develop, and market independent artists while selling their expertise in production, editorial services, and cross-channel brand building.
*For the report 'Content Out Of Control', Forrester interviewed 50 entertainment companies that produce five different kinds of content – music, movies, books, videogames, and television.
Established in 1983, Forrester is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., US. Its European research center is in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and its UK research centre in London.

Oct. 26, 2015
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama sophomore punter JK Scott was named the Southeastern Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance against Tennessee, the league office announced on Monday.
The second-year punter put together four punts for 199 total yards in the Crimson Tide's 19-14 victory over Tennessee Saturday evening. He averaged 49.8 yards, but more importantly netted 44.0 yards on those four kicks. Scott had two punts travel over 55 yards, and twice pinned the ball inside the Volunteers 10-yard line to help flip the field for the Tide.
He has continued to improve each week and is averaging 46.3 yards per punt (15 punts) in the last three games with six traveling 55 yards or more. Scott was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award last season, given annually to the nation's top punter, and looks to be again this season.
Get all the latest information on the team by following @AlabamaFTBL on Twitter and Facebook and AlabamaFBL on Instagram. General athletic news can also be found at UA_Athletics on Twitter and Instagram and AlabamaAthletics on Facebook.
"Watching games like that, it's fun watching all the scoring. But being a defensive player, you want to see a lot more defense."

I don't think I talk much about how I go about my blogging. You can tell I procrastinate by my lack of posts while I travel sometimes. You can tell that I sometimes have poor-quality, unedited photos and don't put hours of time into each blog post. You can tell that I don't dig through the entire internet to find the exact link to an item I'm wearing - a similar item is good enough.
At the core of it all, I blog because I enjoy blogging. And that is my biggest tip for new bloggers. Keep your blog fun. Don't let it stress you out. Don't obsess over your body, or your outfits, or your sponsors. Make friends through your blog. Nurture the relationships that inspire and motivate you and ignore the people who have enough time in their day to stop by the blog just to insult you in your comments (Warning total side note: I could talk about this all day. Don't you people have jobs?! Are you really so NOT busy that you can spend hours trolling the internet insulting complete strangers? I've been lucky enough to not have rude commenters, but I see them all the time on my friend's blogs and it just really annoys me. Okay, enough there.) So that's my biggest tip for you: blog within the space you can feel most comfortable. Of course, stepping out of your comfort zone sometimes is good. But unless this blog is your full time job, and you are desperately trying to make a living from it, keep it fun.

White wine is a wine whose color can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold coloured.[1]
White wine's color can be derived from an assortment of grape varieties. White wines are made from the grape juice and grape skin or from just the juice (not the skin) of select red grapes (as in some Champagnes).[2]
White wines are often consumed with lighter meals, or as an apéritif. They are more refreshing, lighter in both style and taste than the majority of their red wine counterparts, making them ideal for spring and summer occasions. The old guideline of "white wine with white meat" still holds true in many instances, but there are plenty of exceptions and palate preferences that dictate which wines to pair with what foods.[3] As an example, Chardonnay combines well with the taste of fleur de lis (triple cream cheese).

Aves has also introduced a Bluetooth receiver that can transform your Hi-Fi or radio into a wireless speaker system.

With the option of powering it via USB or letting it run on the rechargeable batteries (expect up to six hours of music playback), the Aqua can sit on your desk, plugging into your computer when juice levels are low.
It boasts a three-watt RMS digital sound, and Aves has also included a built-in noise reduction mic to allow hand-sfree conference calls, while volume levels can be altered via the touch-sensitive buttons that sit on the front of the device.
The Aves Digital Aqua is available for £59.99.
Aves Digital Crystal
Two 1.5-inch full-range speakers sit behind a protective grille on the Aves Digital Crystal speaker, which should ensure they remain damage free when transporting them from place to place.
Positioned on the top of the speakers are the volume, power and speakerphone buttons, with Aves again promising a battery life of six hours' continuous music playback.
The Aves Digital Crystal is available for £59.99
Aves Digital Mercury Bluetooth Receiver
