Organiser of the Month - Kate Mulvey
25th May 2018
Our Organisers balance their Usborne careers around lots of other commitments, from other jobs, to children, to family responsibilities. May's Organiser of the Month has come up with different strategies to balance her Usborne career around her demanding job, in order to make her business work its best for her.
Kate was nominated by her mentor Kate L'argent:
"Kate works four days a week in a demanding job and so struggles to fit in her Usborne Free Prize Draw follow ups after meeting people at events.
In January, after a chat about how she could best manage her available time - often only a few minutes on days she works - she started contacting just one person a day. She put her draw slips into order of priority and had them ready so she didn't waste time procrastinating. Then simply worked through the pile contacting just one person a day either by phone or email as had been arranged. If they answered the phone, great, if they didn't they went to the bottom of the pile for re-contact and her daily task was achieved!
How many of us have put that kind of plan into place and followed it for a week or two and then for one reason or another let it lapse? My admiration for Kate is that she stuck at it! I know she got a party booking, I think a school booking too, and in April her phone call was rewarded with a potential recruit saying yes, she'd like to meet and find out more!
Kate is determined to achieve her Team Leader goal, she's quietly friendly, always smiley, supportive, and is becoming a great mentor."
Kate shares her Usborne story with us:
"I have been an Usborne Organiser for over three years now. I joined through Kate L'argent, to earn some extra money as I am a single parent. I love the books and the flexibility of this business and I fit it in around my four days a week part time job. Kate has been a very supportive mentor to me ever since.
Last year, however, I became very frustrated. I was keen to recruit some new team members, in order to grow my income and felt I was spending a lot of time on the business, without achieving that goal. When I reflected on this, at the end of the year, I realised that I was not spending as much time following up my contacts as I thought. I felt my priorities and balance of focus was not in keeping with the goal I set myself. I also felt that I was not getting any response from emails, so I needed to focus more time on talking to my contacts when following up.
Earlier this year, I decided to try out a new idea, which I called my "One A Day". I had plenty of contacts from my Free Prize Draw Slips and decided to organise them, then work through them by phoning one a day (as a minimum). When I discussed it with my upline Kate L'argent, she suggested a way of organising the slips into a folder, subdivided into different sections (one for each month of the year). In addition, I decided to use a notebook to record my follow up conversations in more detail.
After I speak to each individual, I make a note in my notebook and move the FPDS accordingly e.g. into another section (month) for follow up, or rip it up if no further contact is requested. Each month, I have a "new" selection of contacts to follow up, as agreed.
I have also made better use of my diary at events, so that I can instantly agree a follow up call with any potential new Organiser.
The whole process takes very little time (5-10 minutes a day) and I feel much more organised. Although it takes so little of my time, I feel my focus of balance has shifted in the right direction.
Since I started this method, I have successfully recruited a new Organiser, Tamsin Sankey. I am thrilled that Tami has successfully achieved her Kit Boost and Kit Refund! I am currently in contact with several other interested people, and have booked some Home Parites.
I am very proud to have been nominated by Kate L'argent for being Organiser of the Month - thank you, Kate!"
Congratulations Kate! A copy of our May Book of the Month will be on its way to you very soon.
Nominations for Organiser of the Month...
We look forward to receiving all nominations. You may nominate yourself or any other Organiser. Please email your stories to firstname.lastname@example.com along with your name and Organiser number. Good luck!

What to Look For In A Urgent Care Clinic Nowadays
This is such a great system that requires a lot of growth and that everything works out well in the end. It is a strategy to cut costs and time of being served during injuries or any other illness that requires quick attention. You do not wait for long times and days in this. The population continues to grow, and the number of emergencies is also never-ending. Before you select an urgent care clinic to visit, you should understand the fact that they are not created equal. That is why you need to put into place some considerations.
Check the matters of insurance and the acceptance of the covers. Make sure that the clinic is free to the use of the insurance covers and that is what matters most. This means that they need to be in a position to accept the insurance regardless of what kind they could be because different people have different kinds. You want to be assured that the clinic you are choosing is ready and accommodates the insurance from within your areas.
You should not overlook the fact about the nature and quality of equipment they use in implementing their services. Of you want quality services it must come from the use of quality equipment. Always be on guard to have the best equipment that will deliver the results well without compromise. The healthcare system should be good enough such that you are going to have an experience that is comfortable and restoring. This means that the clinic you choose should be in a position to take care of your needs the best way possible.
Take your time to ensure that you check the location issues. It is too recommendable to go for long distances before you find the services that you need for the day. You will never know when to expect a condition, and that is why you should be prepared every time and ensure that your center is not very far. It is good to ensure that you find the best location and one that is accessible to you so that you do not struggle the last minute. A location that is far from your neighborhood may be difficult in emergencies.
Finally, you should be keen on checking the nature of the staff that they have. Ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to administer the treatment the best way possible. Do not compromise on good but strive to receive the best from them. Ensure that you have taken your time in this and that things are wrong well on you. You may also want to know how connected they are to other individuals working in the same environments.
Looking On The Bright Side of Services

A monumental event occurred in my life, just over two weeks ago. My grandfather passed away. He was 88, and awesome. He had a garden that he took pride in for being organic. He saved his seeds every year, and gave me some, which I still have. I plan to plant and nurture them this…
Double Decker Torte – The Ultimate Christmas Cookie
Every holiday since I can remember, my Mom has made my Aunt's Famous Double Decker Torte Christmas goodie. I don't remember the first time we had it, but I remember going bonkers over it.

Petelgeuse is a madman, he looks, sounds and is crazy to the bone. He made Subaru go through hell as he killed almost everyone he cared about. This is a very hard role. Please watch the scene first before you audition!
Ohhh that shout was great!
Why does a believer in love, such as yourself, adhere to someone like him?
My brain trembles
By doing nothing, you practised sloth... And because of that, the girl is dead!
You killed her! How awful! How awful!
With my arm, with my fingers... You... You... You... You... You... killed her...
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Help me! Help me!
Oh? Ah, you are also a believer in love. Yes, you sacrifised yourself for love, defying your own fate.
But you fell before your feelings reached him, and your love had nowhere to go...
You are truly slothful!
Alright, as of now i've planned only 2 Re:Zero fandubs but i want to do more. Since i haven't decided which scenes yet, i want you guys to tell me which characters you wanna be. Please at the start of your recording state the name of the character. And keep in mind that there is a possibility that your character won't be included. It all depends on the scenes that i'll choose to fandub. Subaru and Rem are not open as roles, sorry about that. Good luck!
Say something that fits the character you wanna be, make it at least 30 seconds in length so i can get a grasp of your voice!

I was trained to be a hunter. Growing up in the nation's most infamous, violent cult, my job was simple. Track. Kill. Survive.
And that's what I did… until our leader threatened to kill his own daughter.
Refusing to watch another senseless murder, I did what I was trained to do. I took his life. Then I claimed his land, and set every member free, including her. I only had one goal left. Find the sister I was told was dead.
But being a hunter in the woods is a far cry from tracking a woman in Miami Beach.

Read: Why Kylie Jenner Is Donating All The Proceeds Of This Lip Kit To Charity
Bath bombs have come a long way since the nice smelling ones of yesterday. Nowadays, bombs have the ability to transform your bath into a land of pleasure and happiness. Yeah, they still smell great but newer versions had extra fun thrown in. Whether it's unicorn rainbow colours, fairy glitter or pretty petals you desire floating around you in the tub, there's a bomb for it.
Each bomb contains a gift and a voucher
Last year some clever type on Etsy started selling Harry Potter-themed bath bombs. They turned your bath water different colours according to which Harry Potter house you might have been placed in. Sort of like a Sorting Hat bath bomb. There was also one filled with a 'love poiton' and a golden snitch bomb!
As exciting as Harry P bombs are, the idea that a lush smelling bomb might actually give us a glittering gift that's worth actual cash is something else.
You could win a *very* special treat!
Pearl Bath Bombs are out to make your bathing experience all kinds of Kim Kardashian fabulous. Each fizzy bomb is priced between $15 and $25 and contains a cocktail ring and a coded voucher.

Privitar Is a Finalist for Growth Champion of the Year Award
Among seven companies vying for the coveted Growth Investor accolade
For immediate release
London, United Kingdom, 06 August 2019
Privitar, whose software enables customers worldwide to safely and efficiently extract maximum value from their sensitive data without compromising data privacy, is a finalist in the Growth Champion of the Year category of the fifth Growth Investor Awards.
The Growth Champion of the Year award highlights a standout growth business that has employed investment capital effectively to scale-up. Judges will weigh up the company's strategy while looking for evidence of 'impact beyond investment'.
Privitar CEO Jason du Preez said: "We're pleased to be in the running for this award. Safeguarding sensitive personal information and using data to innovate and grow are both global business imperatives.
Given the alarming frequency of data breaches worldwide, consumers are understandably wary about how their personal data is handled and protected from malicious actors. Meanwhile, businesses face sweeping regulations aimed at protecting personal data at the same time they are seeking to increase the use of their data for valuable insights. Addressing both priorities requires innovative data privacy technologies and that is driving Privitar's rapid growth, which is fueled by our ambitious investors."
For five years, the Growth Investor Awards has spotlighted providers who have an impact beyond investment: creating jobs, boosting economic growth, and supporting innovation. Their investment inspires optimism into companies up and down the UK. And it is fanning an entrepreneurial spark that has made the UK a leading producer of growth companies in recent years.
Award winners will be announced at an exclusive black-tie dinner hosted for over 450 guests on November 6 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London.
About Privitar
Privitar software enables customers worldwide to safely and efficiently extract maximum value from their sensitive data without compromising data privacy.
Established in 2014, Privitar is headquartered in London and has offices in New York, Boston, Paris, Munich and Singapore.
Privitar raised $40m in a Series B funding round led by Accel in June 2019. Privitar also raised $16m in a Series A funding round in July 2017, with support from existing investors IQ Capital, 24 Haymarket and Illuminate Financial and new funding from Partech, CME Ventures and Salesforce Ventures.
About the Growth Investor Award
Finalists have been chosen by Intelligent Partnership's research team, guided by an advisory board. Their entries have now been passed to the second round of judging, carried out by at least three people from an independent panel of 35 judges to provide a diverse mix of qualified perspectives. All of the judges' scores are collated to determine the winner, with all finalists receiving a personalised feedback and benchmarking report to provide insight about areas for improvement.

I've added a page where you can register for any of the While We're Waiting retreats directly from this blog, rather than having to go to the WWW website. I've also added a page where you can request that a "Hope Package" be sent to any newly-bereaved parent, even yourself, if you unfortunately find yourself in that situation. I've also added a page with information about the new While We're Waiting support group being formed in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Just click on these tabs for more information.
And now for the wackiness. Saw this video on Facebook and just had to share. So cute. (Click on the middle of the picture to play the video.)

- Description
- The objective of this study was to determine whether participative management and corporate culture are mutually exclusive (independent) concepts. The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) used an organisational climate and culture questionnaire and applied it to the test sample of 2 357 personnel from a population of 23 564 people working for a paramilitary organisation. The data set of the HSRC was used for the purpose of this study. A panel of experts identified the items in the questionnaire which related to participation according to predetermined criteria and the remaining items were applicable to corporate culture. The results of the factor and item analyses indicate that participative management and corporate culture, as perceived by workers and management, were interrelated and were not independent concepts as conceptualised by the experts.

More than 680 young people from different religions applied for the Tony Blair Faith Foundation's Faiths Act Fellowship this year, the Foundation reported.
Forty-one percent of the applicants to the interfaithyouthleadership program were Christians. Muslims and Hindus made up the second and third highest faith groups that applied, accounting for 17 percent and 18 percent of the total applicants, respectively.
"The idea that young people are not motivated by faith to help others – or that faith only inspires conflict – is simply wrong," said Tony Blair, founder and patron of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, in a statement Thursday. READ MORE

Abortion Bans Are About Power & Control of Women's Bodies.
For any one of us who has been a survivor of rape, molestation, sexual harassment or domestic violence, we have been told over and over that these forms of abuse take place because the abuser wants to assert power and control over our bodies. Across the United States, there is an epidemic of politicians, governments and extremists who are trying to assert power and control over our bodies by means of banning abortion- a personal decision that should always remain between a person and their doctor. By taking away our personal decision-making abilities, we are being stripped of respect, and being stripped of autonomy. Anti-abortion extremists spend millions of dollars to shame, pressure, punish and harass us- proving that their interest is not about morals or religion: it's about power and control. New Mexico has an old abortion ban on the books.

Dr. Larry D. Perry
Chiropractor/ Owner/ President
Dr. Perry grew up in the Huntington area. He began Chiropractic care at the age of 8 for asthma. Having received such good results, becoming a Chiropractor became his dream. Dr. Perry graduated from Buffalo High School (Wayne Co.), graduated from Marshall University and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in September 1984. He began practicing in Huntington in October 1984 at Huntington Chiropractic Clinic. He purchased that practice from Dr. Merlin Zelm, his Chiropractic mentor in 1989.

Making the most of the sunshine again today. Oh we'd love to live somewhere that is sunny all the time... Today we went for a little drive around Holyrood Park, along Queen's Drive. It's a great one-way road with views across the sea to East Lothian and across Edinburgh itself. There are pull outs along the road and we stopped off at Dunsapie Loch. If you're walking up Arthur's Seat this is probably the best place to park up and walk if you're looking for the shortest/easiest route up.
[BTW my camera doesn't like the sun much]
We had a walk about, watched the swans and people passing by. We noticed the same cyclist go by us 4 times in a short space of time, and the loop is 3.3miles up and down, go him!
Now I'm home I think I shall make some cadbury philly cheesecakes (as requested by Jon), watch some TV and think about what to do this week. We are off back to Cardiff next Thursday for 2 weeks - can't wait!!

One of the two US yield curves closely followed by investors – the differential between the 10-year and 3-month US Treasury bond – briefly inverted in March, although the 10-year/2-year differential did not. This means the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was briefly lower than much shorter-dated 3-month security, when usually it is the other way around.
The phenomenon signals that the central bank is cooling down the economy by raising interest rates, which cause short-term rates to rise above long-term rates. However, research shows that it doesn't follow that asset returns afterwards are negative, and the time lags between inversion and recession can be long, says Blokland, Senior Portfolio Manager with Robeco Investment Solutions.
"Our analysis shows that while asset class returns in general are somewhat subdued between the first date on which the yield curve inverts and the start of the recession, the inversion of the yield curve is not followed by extraordinary deviations in returns," he says.
"In most empirical research, the yield curve is either defined by the 10-year/3-month US Treasury yield differential (10Y-3M), or by the 10-year/2-year (10Y-2Y) differential. The reasons for preferring one over the other depend on many things: in terms of data availability, the 3-month US Treasury yield has a much longer history. However, the degree to which you want to capture short-term versus long-term views on GDP growth and inflation is likely to be better reflected in the 2-year yield."
"The yield curve qualifies as one of the best, if not the best, recession forecasters. For the 10Y-2Y yield curve, we have reliable data covering the last five US recessions, all of which were accurately forecasted well in advance. The lag between the first 'inversion date' and the start of the recession, as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research, averages 21 months, ranging from 11 months until the 1981 recession to 34 months until the 2001 recession." This is shown in the table above.
"The results for the 10Y-3M yield curve are highly comparable, with an average lead time of 19 months until the next recession. The data further reveals that prior to the last five recessions, the 10Y-2Y yield curve inverted before the 10M-3M yield curve on each occasion. From this angle, the 10Y-2Y yield curve should be the preferred recession indicator, as it 'detects' the next recession first."
"The available data history for the 10Y-3M yield curve is longer, covering the last seven recessions. We find that the 10Y-3M yield curve correctly predicts these two additional recessions (1970, 1973) as well."
So, what does this mean for future asset class returns? The table above shows the average and median annual returns on most major asset classes, covering US stocks, global stocks, commodities, gold, US Treasuries and US corporates, as well as US real GDP growth for both yield curves, between 1978 and 2008, when the last US recession occurred.
The returns are calculated as the index change between the first negative reading of the yield curve leading up to a recession, and the first day of that same recession. It therefore illustrates performance between the inversion date and the start of the recession.
"As can be derived from the table, this was an exceptionally strong period for both stocks and bonds, with average annual returns above their longer-term history," says Blokland. "While there are differences between the returns calculated using the 10Y-3M and 10Y-2Y yield curves, the results are highly comparable."
"Second, while the variation in returns is substantial, they are far from extreme. For example, the average and median annual return on all asset classes is positive. No asset class shows severe and structural weakness after inversion, with only gold realizing a negative return in three out of the five inversion periods, and gold returns are pretty erratic in any case."
However, the research confirms that investors should be cautious about credits and global equities, and more optimistic about commodities, if we are indeed late in the economy cycle, Blokland warns.
"The deviation from the full sample average return is relatively large for US corporate bonds," he says. "This fits the perception that credits tend to struggle late cycle, as short-term interest rates are lifted by the Federal Reserve and leverage tends to be high."
"Lastly, with a 7% return, commodities are the only asset class which realized a much better return than the full sample average (2.8%) after yield curve inversion. This fits the characterization of commodities as 'being late cycle'."
"Still, as we believe it is possible to establish that we are in the later stages of the economic cycle, it could prove prudent to become somewhat less enthusiastic about the return prospects of corporate bonds (as reflected in our multi-asset portfolios) and be a bit more optimistic about those of commodities."

The socially and politically tumultuous winter months matched the darkness of the season this year. In times like these, we all search for some sense of normalcy. When – finally – the days begin to stretch a little longer on either end, it is a relief to find the garden growing as it always does.
This winter was so mild that I planted daffodils in soft ground in late December, right around the holidays. And sure enough, not a month and a half later they peeked out, surviving a few hard freezes to grace us with sunny smiles.
A few times when a particularly bad cold snap was expected, I went on a cutting spree to rescue the yellow and white blossoms from the low temperatures. (It turns out they would have been fine outside, but who doesn't love an excuse to bring cut flowers indoors?)
I hope to update the blog more now that spring has arrived. I hope you have weathered these dark months okay. Remember that nothing you do for good in the world, however small, is in vain. A whole garden grows from the tiniest seeds.

Sleep deprivation can undermine your quality of life:P80 Natural Essence made from longan fruit extracts can restore it
How many of us realise that the way we sleep at night, and how deeply, affects our body in many ways? Nowadays, people sacrifice sleep time due to heavy work load, pressure from competition, and surrounding environment factors. We only take a break from the chaos of life to rejuvenate our brain and body when we sleep. The most efficient sleep occurs when you have sufficient, deep sleep, normally lasting at least eight hours. Only then can you reset your organs systems, nerves, hormones, and other body functions.
People experiencing lack of sleep often also suffer from mental disorders, loss of focus and memory, and exhaustion. Naturally this all negatively impacts our daily activities and increases the chance of accidents. Due to lack of sufficient sleep, our body's metabolic system can't work efficiently. This, in turn, increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and high-blood pressure, etc.
Surprisingly, one of Thailand's most famous tropical fruits – longan – has properties that can promote sleep quality.
But new research by the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, has shown that concentrated longan syrup promotes sleep quality in healthy volunteers, without affecting blood glucose levels or disturbing liver or kidney functions, and while also significantly reducing diastolic pressure to healthy levels.
From this research, P80 Natural Essence has been developed under an exclusive process. The new product actively promotes the properties of five bioactive compounds in concentrated longan syrup that have been proven to improve sleep quality.
P80 Natural Essence promotes deep sleep that eradicates stress and restores normal blood pressure. On awakening, the body is fully restored, from inside out.

The Atlanta Opera at KSU
The Atlanta Opera Studio Tour: The Barber of Seville
Family Performance
Saturday, March 23, 2019, 2 p.m.
Morgan Concert Hall
The talented Atlanta Opera Studio artists perform a 45-minute adaptation of Rossini's classic comic opera. Featuring the original music and performed in Spanish and English, this performance is perfect for children and families. The Barber of Seville demonstrates the power of love to triumph over adversity of every kind when Rosina falls in love with Almaviva at first sight, but there's one very big tangle: she speaks only Spanish and he speaks only English. Worse yet, Rosina's Aunt Bartolo is plotting to marry her off to one of her old associates. There's just one man who can unsnarl this mess – Figaro, the most important man-about-town! Proving that even love sometimes requires a little translation, the bilingual barber uses his razor-sharp wit to cut through the confusion, tying up all the matrimonial loose ends in a delightful blend of zany comedy and effervescent music.

Awning collapse affects Washington Square businesses
ALTON — An awning — and, for some, an ongoing problem — at the Washington Square Shopping Center in Alton came crashing down on business owners Friday.
An awning above Maneke Jewelers, located at 1633 Washington Ave. in the Washington Square strip mall, collapsed at approximately 4:45 p.m. Friday, forcing surrounding businesses to close and leaving business owners in the dark as to when they might be able to reopen. MetroPCS, Subway, Maneke and Security Finance Corporation all had to close their doors in the wake of the accident.
Workers at Maneke Jewelers said they heard a large truck roll over the speed bumps just before the awning collapsed, according to Alton city building inspector Mike Harvey.
"People working at Maneke said they heard maybe a truck or something going over the speed bumps fast, and then their roof caved in," Harvey said.
The surrounding businesses closed Friday after the incident, and city officials posted signs on the businesses saying the building was unsafe and to keep out. Alton police and firemen also roped off the area around the awning to keep people away. Nobody was injured in the awning's collapse.
Harvey said construction workers came Saturday to secure the rear of the overhang to ensure no further damage happened.
Affecting business
The businesses in the shopping center have been affected in different ways by the incident.
Maneke remains closed while the awning gets repaired — owner Charles Maneke said he's hoping to have the business open by Friday — but Security Finance had its doors open Tuesday. Melissa Hasty with Security Financial declined comment on the matter, but Harvey said the city had given the business the OK to use the building as long as customers entered and exited through the doors at the rear of the building.
The Subway restaurant has been closed since Friday, and owner Mary Gabriel said she has been left in limbo as to whether or not to place a food order for Thursday. If she opts not to, the first day the store would open would be Monday, the next day the business would receive a food shipment.
"I don't know how to move forward — do we place a food order, do we not place a food order?" Gabriel said. "We're just really distraught over this."
Crews were expected to work Tuesday to remove the parts of the awning that had been compromised, and property manager Brandt Tichacek said his goal was to have all the businesses open within 48 hours.
"We are hopeful, unless we find something that we haven't seen yet, to have all of our stores open and operating by Thursday morning," Tichacek said.
'I don't know what to do'
Whether the accident could have been avoided is up for debate.
Gabriel said she was made aware, and made property owners Intelica CRE aware as well, of issues with the awning in 2010 when she remodeled her restaurant. Gabriel said she even had an attorney with Subway's corporate offices send a letter to the property owners in July to express her concerns.
Those concerns fell on deaf ears, she said.
"It's been an ongoing situation," Gabriel said. "I know that it needed to be repaired. They kept saying that they're working on it, and it just finally collapsed because they just didn't do it."
Tichacek said Friday's incident came as a surprise to him.
"Absolutely out of the blue," Tichacek said. "We had no indications. There was never a dip — nothing had happened anytime previously that indicated there may be a problem. It was an absolute shock and surprise."
Maneke said he was aware of some issues Subway has dealt with, including water leaks, but his store hasn't experienced issues with the awning or the building itself.
"This is our first time with anything," Maneke said.
The store has been in Maneke's family since 1963, and he said he couldn't remember any updates having been done to the awnings in that time aside from a few layers of tar paper built up over the years. Gabriel, who owns two other Subway franchises in Missouri, said the incident has caused her to consider her options with the franchise.
"I don't know what to do," Gabriel said. "Start looking for another place? I don't know what to do here. I can't pay my bills like this."
Looking ahead
Workers were supposed to begin the process of removing the collapsed portion of the awning Tuesday. From there, Tichacek said, it will be a "big decision-making process" as to what is stable, what needs to be replaced and whether that damage extends to the building.
For now, though, Tichacek said he expects the building to avoid any major work.
"None of us have seen anything that indicates we would have a problem with the structure of the building," Tichacek said. "I think our sole problem is just with the awning itself."
Family Dollar, another store in the shopping center, had a new roof installed in the past few years, according to Harvey, part of the reason it and all the businesses south of the store avoided any damage.
As far as the old awning, Harvey said the property owners will need to present an engineering study showing their plans for fixing the roof and ensuring it is safe from similar incidents in the future. Harvey said he hadn't seen those plans as of Tuesday morning.

iPad Mini to be Announced on September 12th with iPhone 5 Release September 21st
iMore reports that the next-generation iPhone, which is frequently referred to as the "iPhone 5", new iPod nano, and all new 7.85" iPad mini are expected to be announced on September 12th.
iMore has heard that Apple is planning to debut the new iPhone at a special event on Wednesday, September 12, 2012, with the release date to follow 9 days later on Friday, September 21. This information comes from sources who have proven accurate in the past.
The next iPhone will have a taller 4" screen as shown in the above photo. Moreover, this time Apple may drop the numbering scheme with every new iPhone release. Apple will simply refer to the next iPhone as "the new iPhone".
While the 7.85" iPad mini has been long rumored, there has been a notable increase in the frequency and volume of rumors related to the product. The smaller iPad is believed to help Apple fill a cheaper price point in their tablet lineup.

Summers" review by Suzanne
Airs Sundays 9/8c on Masterpiece on PBS
This is a 9-part miniseries that's very well-written and
acted. It has a huge cast. The story has all of the elements
you'd want in an epic story: Love, romance, tragedy,
politics, class struggle, racial prejudice, sexism, colorful
costumes, beautiful landscape, and interesting characters.
The story takes place in the summer of 1932, in a little
town at the foot of the Himalayas called Simla. The British
who were ruling India went there to escape the heat.
The heroine of the story is young Alice Whelan (Jemima
West), who grew up in India with her family but was sent
away to boarding school. After an unhappy marriage, she's
moving back to stay with her brother, bringing her little
boy with her. She's run away, which would have been
scandalous. Her brother Ralph (Henry Lloyd-Hughes) is
both the focal point of the show and the show's villain, in
many ways. He's in charge of the civil service in India and
wants to be Viceroy. Everyone in this series has some big
It's a little bit of a soap opera, but there's so much
class struggle, racism, and politics, that it keeps it from
being too soapy. The hero of the show is handsome young,
ambitious Aafrin (Nikesh Patel) who works for Ralph. A
shocking thing happens in the first episode that ties them
all together.
You really should watch it on pbs.org and catch up, or
buy the DVD! It's well worth watching, even though it's a
little slow at times. It's worth it to watch all 9 hours.
Told from both the English and Indian
perspectives, the drama of Indian Summers
unfolds as illicit agreements, romance, and
revolution abound. Though the English socialites
are having the time of their lives in Simla, the
local Indians have started to call for national
independence, a path which is quickly rendering
the world's greatest empire helpless. As
pressure builds, the two sides alternately clash
and merge in a passionate and dangerous game.
Indian Summers airs in nine sweeping
episodes, and premieres on Sunday, September 27,
2015 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS.

MATTHEW WILLIAMSON ceo and co-founder Joseph Velosa didn't ever intend to get into the fashion world.
"It happened by accident," he explained at this month's Fashion Business Club meeting, recalling how he met Matthew in Manchester 20 years ago. "He was at Central Saint Martins at the time and I was studying philosophy at King's College. I became fascinated with his work and started to become immersed."
Fourteen years on, a move to New York and back, a ten-year anniversary exhibition at London's Design Museum and a collaboration with H&M and it's worked out as one very happy accident indeed.
"It's a good combination - Matthew as the creator. My job is to be Matthew's right arm and partner along the way," explained Velosa, noting the role of a ceo to "essentially take on the core of the business side".
Next on the Williamson agenda is the introduction, or rather the classification, of Mathew Williamson Escape - a segment of the line focussing on swimwear and glamorous kaftans.
"We want to evolve ready-to-wear without having to constantly evolve the beach," said Velosa. "One of the most important things a brand can have is a clear identity. You need to evolve and evolve carefully, we're saying to the consumer 'Don't worry this will always be here but ultimately we are a ready-to-wear brand and always have been and that will be our focus'."
And then there are expansions, too. "We want to continue rolling out our retail approach in New York, followed by Dubai. Retail for us is a passion - this is where everything comes alive" - and something which has excited them from the outset.
"The first store in London was a huge risk for us. On the first day I remember thinking that maybe we'd make £1,000 and it was something like £15,000," recounted Velosa.
Meanwhile, accessories and homeware and even fragrance are areas they'd like to look into.
Velosa's words of wisdom to those aspiring to get into the industry? "Good luck. The usual, work really hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it. It is an industry that required newness all the time."
