When solving your business problem, Aimia is able to draw on a talented team of experts from any of the wide range of marketing services listed below. We take time to understand your business drivers, then determine the right combination of loyalty marketing capabilities to deliver the best business results.
Aimia acts as a strategic advisor, investor, and service provider to airlines around the world. Aimia's roots in the airline industry run deep. In 1984, its corporate forerunner was the frequent flyer program of Air Canada. During the intervening decades it has grown from a frequent flyer program into a world leading loyalty services company. In 2005, Aeroplan became the world's first successful spun-off frequent flyer program. Our experience and knowledge is instrumental to our ability to create and articulate value. Aimia optimizes airline loyalty programs for the maximum benefit of their hosts, partners, and participants. In the airline loyalty section, you can find out more about our work in the airline loyalty space.
Predict, Model, Enable and Measure Loyalty Data is at the heart of everything we do. Our analytical tools and teams deliver data driven insights that range from customer acquisition and retention programs to strengthening relationships with channel partners and best customers. We can predict the best way forward and provide analysis and recommendations based on a wealth of experience in working with local and global data. Our job is to make sure that the decisions we make about rewards, campaigns and programs deliver a predictable – and profitable – return. We quantify risks and examine audience behavior, engagement and attitude to ensure that the right treatments are presented at the right time to deliver the best results.
Staying Connected With Your Best Customers We understand the importance of maintaining an ongoing connection with your best customers. That is why we operate both high touch (complex conversations or unstructured calls) and high volume (program queries and rewards redemption) contact centers for our clients' programs. With over 600 contact center seats worldwide, our contact center management capability can be delivered in dedicated or shared formats. We also operate real time webservies that enable your own contact center to service loyalty program calls. Our agents are able to become a bridge between your brand and your best customers.
Effective Loyalty Communications Help Put the "Inspiring" in Loyalty The best loyalty "communication ideas" are bigger than a tagline born from the brand agency or an award-winning piece of creative from a boutique firm. Rather, THE most effective loyalty "communication ideas" must use data & technology to:
With a clear understanding of who the customer is, where and when we are engaging them and why we're engaging them, Aimia develops smart, creative solutions that influence customer behavior. Effective loyalty communications help put the "inspiring" in loyalty and requires a full set of capabilities.
"Communications" has become the 3rd dimension to modern, effective loyalty management with data and technology being the more expected, familiar dimensions. And, the most effective communications is the amalgamation of strong expertise in media/channels, creativity and digital/emerging technologies. Each of these areas is intertwined with the others – providing even greater opportunities than if apart.
Create Customer Experiences That Drive Loyalty At Aimia, we take an innovative, strategically based approach for every customer experience we create. We offer omni-channel planning to engage customers at each phase of the customer life cycle. Our user-experience design creates customer-centric experiences that influence customer behavior, strengthen brands and drive profitability. And our solutions architecture and interactive development approach is based on an agile development framework and grounded exclusively for loyalty-based marketing. We are relentless in our pursuit of finding smarter and better ways to drive both interactions and transactions for our clients. By leveraging emerging technology and data-driven insight, we create unparalleled user experiences that are powered by our core loyalty platform systems.
Harness the Power of Your People In today's economy, it's important to look to the hearts and minds of employees as the means for success. This requires an increased focus on intangibles such as mission and vision, the quality of relationships and the culture of the organization. A resource for assessing and managing a company's culture is available through Aimia's Positive Engagement Model. This model encompasses the six critical facets for building authentic employee-to-organization bonds: Achievement, Mastery, Connection, Well-Being, Appreciation and Innovation. It's based on research emerging from new social sciences, positive psychology and positive change. It puts a focus on strengths rather than problems or gaps, allowing our clients to get the most from everyone in their organizations.
Connect With Your Customers in New Ways to Drive Engagement and Revenue For over 30 years, we've helped some of the most prominent brands bring highly relevant new service and insurance products to their customers. Made available either as inclusive features on our clients' core products, or as stand-alone optional fee features, our Enhancement Services programs deliver the powerful combination of increased brand engagement and meaningful incremental revenue. We help strengthen your customer relationships and grow your business. Our turnkey Enhancement Services programs deliver valued assistance services, financial protection, and tools to save time and money, providing new touchpoints to lock your customer to your brand.

Data-Driven Media to Better Engage Your Customers At Aimia, we use data to inform our media strategies. It's a big reason we have a proven track record for reaching and exceeding desired results. You can trust we'll find the perfect balance of awareness and direct response to create the impact you need.

Our areas of expertise include: Online, Search, Affiliates, Email, Mobile, Tablet, Print, Broadcast, Out of Home, Direct Mail, Radio and Event partnership. We have what it takes to help you find your best customers no matter where they are.
Mobilize Relationships, Not Just Campaigns Mobilizing relationships goes beyond executing simple mobile campaigns for our clients. It's about understanding consumer behaviors and attitudes and harnessing the power of mobile to deliver highly valuable and highly relevant messages. It's about giving customers the ability to interact with our clients on their terms, whenever they want from wherever they want. If mobile isn't in your marketing plan today, then your plan isn't complete. Now, more than ever, reaching customers via mobile is critical. It's the ultimate way to get close to your customers to build lasting, more valuable relationships that are essential for your business.
Provide Relevant and Memorable Rewards for Your Audience Aimia's proprietary applications allow us to connect with every touchpoint across all key audiences. Our ability to deliver high-impact, customized rewards sets us apart. From unique experiences and once-in-a-lifetime rewards to electronic gift certificates and relevant lifestyle awards, our data insights and analytics expertise ensures that we can recommend the ideal rewards for any audience.
Inspiring Motivated Performance Aimia has more than 70 years of experience putting together unique and one-of-a-kind programs throughout the world. We create motivational strategies that inspire your employees and channel partners to achieve, and reward your top performers with a trip of a lifetime, an adventure that they cannot create on their own or rewards that ensure stronger lifetime performance. Our people make the difference. We consistently rank above 9 (out of 10) in participant satisfaction scores. Our client's love our staff and return year after year, because they value our partnership, love what we do and the way we do it, and recognize the business results we help them achieve.
Build the Relationships That Matter With Social Connections Relationship Management, the convergence of social media and loyalty, Aimia activates known connections to build profitable relationships. We identify connections from spheres of influence within our clients' brands and create a two-way exchange with both compelling content and awards. This enables us to build lasting, loyal relationships, to increase advocacy and to drive higher revenue. Social Connections Relationship Management is changing business as usual. Activating data points and social tools to create new and authentic ways to connect has become the standard, not the rule to build trusting, lasting relationships. It's about strategy, not technology. We bring together business objectives, customer needs and innovative technology to create an integrated, holistic view of influential connections.
Prove Clients Can Do More With Less Aimia's Strategic Alliances team identifies, values, negotiates and executes new partner relationships for our clients across a number of industries. Our strong knowledge of the travel and hospitality, financial services, retail, CPG, telecommunications, pharmaceutical/healthcare, and emerging markets helps us build cost effective, creative and comprehensive relationships that positively impact bottom lines. We understand the importance of aligning with the right partners to optimize key marketing opportunities. It allows our clients to do more with less and be more prudent with their marketing budgets. And it delivers profitable business growth.
Devise a Plan to Navigate the Entire Customer Journey Aimia helps clients through their loyalty journey, and loyalty strategy is the first step. With a set of proprietary methodologies, including the Relationship Strength Index (RSx), the Culture of Positive Engagement and 360-degee touchmaps, we leverage data and analytics to drive our loyalty models and solutions, whether they are point-based approaches or non-point based programs. We do this because we recognize that the knowledge captured from data insights and the emotional insights will drive whatever follows. Creating and delivering an end-to-end customer journey requires a fully integrated loyalty approach that works across multiple channels and platforms. We have experience with all types of stakeholders and are able to unlock your company's hidden assets to execute strategies. We make this happen by integrating a sophisticated, and time-tested model that is designed to drive your long-term success.

Because 2.1.0 is not yet on the PTR's (we're hoping by tomorrow or early next week), we're going to hotfix the base creature respawn in Serpentshrine and TK Raid to be 2 hours. We're also going to fix the bug that's causing the creatures to respawn after the boss for the corresponding section has been killed.
These aren't all of the changes that we have for 2.1.0, just two of the ones that we will be able to hotfix. There are more changes coming in 2.1.0 that include creature tuning, better loot etc...
Some examples:
Lots of the creatures have fewer hitpoints
Lots of the creatures are no longer immune to CC (The female naga in SSC can be poly'd, Skeletal Ushers in KZ can be shackled)
Lots of bug fixes
Our cries have been answered! Many tears of joy are being shed today and will be shed in the coming weeks.

Royal Canin Feline Nutrition Indoor Mature
For indoor cats over 10 years of age. Features odor reduction, anti-age complex, and ultra-soft kibble. Maturity and inactivity can lead to a loss of muscle mass. At the same time, adipose tissues will accumulate. Leaving the risk of obesity very high. The mature cat can lose its appetite because of dental problems and a poorer sense of smell and taste. The affects of aging become apparent especially in terms of kidney, joint function, immune and digestive system. This formula offers your cat optimal calorie control, tartar control, and hairball formation control. Royal Canin Mature 27 is made by an exclusive process that guarantees small, firm and considerably less smelly feces. The anti-age complex reduces phosphorus and sodium contents to maintain kidney function and an exclusive combination of synergistic antioxidants (green tea polyphenols and high concentrations of vitamins E and C) to combat the attacks of free radicals responsible for cell aging. The kibbles have a very soft texture perfectly suited to the dentition of cats over the age of 10 years. Provides an ideal balance between the food's energy supply and your cat's energy expenditure, in relation to its lifestyle and level of activity. Improves oral hygiene by reducing the occurrence of tartar deposits on your cat's teeth. Stimulates the elimination of hairs from the intestines and reduces the risk of hairball formation. Ingredients: chicken, corn gluten meal, corn, barley, brown rice, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid), chicken meal, natural chicken flavor, beet pulp (sugar removed), pea fiber, dried brewers yeast, rice hulls, salmon oil, dried egg powder, fructo-oligosaccharides, sodium silico aluminate, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, soya oil, choline chloride, borage oil, DL-methionine, salt, taurine, Vitamins [dl-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), niacin, biotin, riboflavin (vitamin B2), d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid], Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], potassium citrate, sodium tripolyphospate, glucosamine hydrochloride, green tea extract, chondroitin sulfate, L-carnitine Available in: 2.5 lbs. and 5.5 lbs.

Spring Party
Start the weekend off right with a breakfast bash
Date Created: 05/23/2012
Having breakfast with family is a bonding experience. Usually you rush through the most important meal of the day, hastily eating a bowl of cereal while slurping down some orange juice or a cup of instant coffee. When you do take time to make breakfast count, it is a refreshing moment when you can sit and contemplatively view the rest of your day and week with clear foresight. Make breakfast a moment to remember with your neighbors and friends with an early morning get-together.
party invitations
made from
corrugated paper
that are shaped like a breakfast-themed item - like a piece of toast. Schedule the event on a weekend so people won't have to worry about missing work in order to attend. It is a breakfast
theme party
, so tell your guests to dress in their most comfortable pajamas. This will also be conducive for a more relaxing environment - people will not mind spending extra time talking and catching up, instead of rushing out the door to fulfill one of the usual obligations.
For food, you can prepare the usual breakfast fare such as pancakes and French toast. Part of the fun of breakfast is making the meal in the morning and the wonderful aromas that waft through your kitchen as the sun comes up. Share this experience and invite some of the party-goers over to help out with the preparations.
If some of your guests are vegan or have egg or dairy allergies, consider serving some mock meats like Tofurkey or Field House sausages, and perhaps preparing some tofu scramble instead of eggs.
Make sure there is adequate seating and eating areas. Push together multiple tables with a cloth draped over them so your guests aren't segregated and everyone can enjoy the conversation. Make your
party centerpieces
fat stacks of pancakes that anyone can dig into. You can also hang up
curling ribbon
to give your get together a festive air
Coffee is the staple of any breakfast table, so think about making a delicious brew that surpasses the usual quick-fix percolator coffee. One way you can do this is by grinding up the beans fresh. Hand grinders are relatively inexpensive and the taste is well-worth the price. Buy some malitas and hand pour the coffee or leave the guests to do it themselves - the extra effort will go a long way.

A Brothers' Boy
Rice High School—1938-2011
The recent closing of Rice Catholic High School in Harlem bludgeoned the community that had survived the assassination of Malcolm X in 1963 and the race riots of 1964. When the Christian Brothers began Rice in the name of the order's founder Edmund Rice, the school first taught the children of immigrants, most of them Irish and poor. In later years Rice served poor Hispanic and African-American minorities.
Despite vigorous efforts at fundraising, the school ran out of money. The diocese offered help by supplying names of donors, and Rice alumni helped stave off bankruptcy for as long as they could.
But Rice's closing shouldn't obscure the heroic work of lay teachers, brothers, and staff. In particular, Steve Fitzgerald, a Rice alumnus from 1963, volunteered at the school for twelve years, the last three as President of the Board of Trustees, primarily responsible for fundraising. As a boy, Steve fell in love with the school, the lay teachers and brothers, many of them Old Country Irish like his own parents driven from Ireland to find jobs and a life in America. From his home in Somers, New York, Steve often made the drive to Rice, some ninety miles away. No one could have been more dedicated.
Steve's work history is that of an intelligent striver. From starting in the mailroom of IBM, Steve rose to executive positions in the company for 34 years, retiring as Vice-President of Operations for the Storage Systems Division in San Jose, California.
In 2011 the New York Archdiocese honored Steve with its Knight of St. Patrick for his work at Rice. He remains a Brothers' Boy.

Friday August 17, 2012
I was inspired by a recipe found in Cook's Illustrated, and with a few revisions, made Chicken Kiev for the first time and LOVED it! It was so incredibly juicy inside and the homemade bread crumbs are the perfect touch. Chicken Kiev is made with breaded chicken cutlets that are stuffed with herbs and butter. The melted butter spreads across the plate and instantly forms a buttery sauce for this dish. Can you say...Delicious!Chicken Kiev
Serves 4
Herb Butter
- 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) unsalted, sweet butter, softened
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and fresh tarragon, finely minced
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
Home Made Bread Crumbs
- 5 slices of peasant bread, or other white bread, lightly toasted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat over 300 degrees.
- Toast bread slices until lightly toasted
- Cut slices in 1/4 " cubes
- In batches of 3 or 4, place cubes in blender and pulse until coarsely ground.
- Place all bread crumbs on a baking sheet, add salt, pepper and olive oil
- Using hands, toss together, coating bread crumbs
- Adjust oven rack to middle position, bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool - about 5 minutes
- You should have about 2 cups of breadcrumbs
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded to a 1/4 inch thickness (I ask my butcher to prep this for me)
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups of bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 - 1 cup all purpose flour (start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Place thin chicken cutlets on a sheet of wax paper
- Season with salt and pepper to both sides of chicken
- Unwrap butter and slice into 1/2" rounds
- Place 1-2 rounds of butter on the bottom half of each chicken breast
- Roll the bottom edge of the chicken over the butter, then continue to firmly roll to the top, pushing edges together to seal
- Repeat with all pieces of chicken
- Place on a plate and place uncovered in the refrigerator for 1 hour
- Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Place three bowls out and add flour with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in one; season bread crumbs with salt and pepper in another, and 3 eggs and mustard, whisked together in the third.
- Dredge rolled chicken in flour, shaking off excess - coat with egg mixture, shake off excess, and roll in bread crumbs, thoroughly covering all sides of rolled chicken
- Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Add chicken on top of the wire rack and place into oven, cooking for 45 minutes until chicken is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes and serve.

Due to researches of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), the soil degradation of the latest twenty years has significantly reduced the crop productivity, and that is especially vitally critical for poor and heavily populated countries.
Although agroecosystems groups, like EMAP, Agricultural Research Service, National Agricultural Statistics Service, and Soil Conservation Service in the USA for instance, perform agroecosystems monitoring, trying to collect data through surveys of growers; this rue is hardly applicable to the most of the countries left. If it were so and the governments of other countries paid enough attention to gathering field samples of cropland to include annual crops, pastures, woody perennial crops, adjacent natural areas, and farm ponds, it would definitely result in a positive ecological impact as regards to agroecosystems.
Agroecosystems, being the first comprehensive audit of the world agriculture's ability to provide sufficient food, goods and services, is vital for sustaining a human life. Regretfully, no modern techs can help the whole world today as the situation has grown bad for years ago and it is dramatically irrevocable to think of turning back those precious times of Eden's gardens. Still, the chances to recover the Earth agroecosystems at least partially exist. The other topic for discussion is whether the ways of resurrecting people quickly will take its smooth way in regards to human needs. Our perfect world is created so that being left untouched for several years, it would restore itself for seventy percent. The last thing, however, is impossible to take place ever due to the growing need and greed of the human nature.
Only several more factors need to be added here: agroecosystems lack clear water, air and soil. So simple and so hard to realize that agriculture consumes seventy percent of the freshwater withdrawn annually by humans. The irrigation is draining more water than is being replenished by rainfall, causing water tables to fall. What is more, we have pollution of water resources by an excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, omitting the work of factories, plants and cars all around us. Growing of the population will never abolish those measures of modern human life.
We can conclude sadly that the food production of the whole world seems to be at risk today as far as farming methods of modern agriculture lead to the soil degradation, parched aquifers, polluted waters, and cause the loss of animal and plant species. All of the factors enumerated are serious cases to pay special attention to. Despite the hardworking process of agroecosystems' defenders, the situation will hardly show the signs of productive decisions what concerns the regeneration of the biggest part of agroecosystems as a whole. Minding the fact of the Sahara desert, extending for approximately ten miles a year, you can only substitute Africa with any other place on Earth to see the destructive fruits of the human activity.

Jimmy Durante
Jimmy Durante
If any performer can truly be said to have carved out his own comedic turf, made a huge success out of it lasting over several decades, while completely owning that piece of turf lock, stock, and barrel, then that performer would have to be Jimmy Durante. There never has been -- nor is there likely ever to be -- a stylistic school of Durante; the man and his character are of one piece and ingrained in the national consciousness to the extreme. Anyone foolish enough to start appropriating any part of his act would be immediately branded as a slavish imitator -- someone just merely "doing Durante" -- while always being doomed to comparison with the one and only real-deal "Schnozzola" and again, falling well short of the mark. On the surface, Durante's mega-success defied all commonly understood show business laws. No one with such a gravelly voice should have been able to put over a song as well as he did. No one as ugly as him should have made as much profitable hay as he did about being that ugly, and parlaying those looks into a movie career at that. No one wore rumpled suits and a beat-up fedora (covering what little hair he had left), smoked a cheap cigar, and mangled the English language with more charm and hilarity than he. No one won the hearts of his audience by simply being himself -- a comic Everyman from the poor side of town -- than did one Jimmy Durante. He didn't sing good, he didn't look good, and he had the audacity to keep bringing it up, he dressed like a bum, and couldn't say a complete sentence without screwing up some (or all) of the words. Not much of a show business r�sum� on the surface of it, but Durante's uncloneable charm gathered its main strength from being just that; an average guy who -- as one critic put it -- "acted like a heckler from an audience who had finally decided he could do a better job himself and, upsetting all conventional show business decorum, had snuck into the spotlight." There was not one subtle thing about Jimmy Durante; whether it was wrecking a piano and throwing the resultant debris at the audience, singing a song like "I Know Darn Well I Can Do Without Broadway (But Can Broadway Do Without Me?)," or doing a complete about face and providing a brief glimpse of the wistful side of his character, he tapped the deepest of emotions every single time and did it at full bore.

At first glance it might be kind of hard to imagine someone would want to endure over 15 hours of consecutive Marvel movies leading up to the midnight showing on The Avengers in 3D.
AMC Theaters announced today that it is adding more shows at participating locations for their May 3rd event which features six Marvel movies, screening in this order – Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor in 3D, Captain America: The First Avenger 3D and The Avengers 3D. The price for the marathon of movies is $40 and includes an event lanyard and limited edition Avengers character RealD 3D glasses, while supplies last. The marathon begins at 11:30 a.m.
According to AMC, the following ten theaters have sold out:
You can jump over to the AMC site to find out the nearest theater that is hosting the marathon. I'll also be covering the event and live Tweeting between features.
Are you participating in this marathon day of movies and which Marvel film (besides Avengers) are you most looking forward to seeing on the big screen again?

insert_flashy_name_here said...
If there were a theatre closer than 150 miles away that was doing this, I would totally take the day off work and go. Alas, there is not. So I will just have to settle for my plan that's already in place, to watch one movie per weekend leading up to The Avengers. And I have Thor and Captain America in 3D as well, so I'm not missing anything, really. Gonna be watching The Incredible Hulk this weekend. :D

I just ordered my ticket today for Dallas. Already have the day off from work. I'm going to be beat the next day at work, but I'm looking forward to it. Most especially Thor and Captain America since I haven't seen either yet, but I may see them beforehand anyway.
ryster said...
I would have loved to do the marathon day but the fact three of the films are in 3D is just plain ridiculous. A enough to do eye damages to your eye. I can not even settle with one movie in 3D. Thanks for ruining the event with 3D!

This applies to the 2.0.x versions of Cocoon. In the meantime, the jfor license has been changed to an Apache-compatible one, which allows jfor to be distributed with Cocoon 2.1.x, so that for 2.1.x you only need to enable the jfor block to activate the generation of RTF documents by Cocoon.
A short technical note about how to activate RTF generation with Cocoon 2.
Written by Bertrand Delacrétaz,- February 13th, 2002.
- See jfor for more info about the jfor library that is used here to generate RTF.
- Keep in mind that jfor is still fairly limited in its layout abilities.
- This procedure has been tested with Cocoon 2.0.1.
How to activate and test dynamic RTF generation with Cocoon
Basically, as jfor cannot currently be distributed with Cocoon due to slight license incompatibilites, you must recompile Cocoon with the jfor library (jfor.jar) to activate the RTF serializer in Cocoon.
- Download and unpack the Cocoon source code.
For V2.0.1 the file to download is called cocoon-2.0.1-src.something (where something is a format like "tar.gz") - Make sure you can compile the standard Cocoon distribution
You will need a java compiler for this (tested with JDK 1.3.1, see Cocoon web site for more details about compiler requirements).
Follow the instructions found in the INSTALL file of the Cocoon distribution to compile it.
During compilation, you should see messages saying that "Classes of the optional package JFOR are not available". This is correct as the standard Cocoon distribution does not include the required jfor JAR file. - Add jfor.jar to the Cocoon source tree
Download the latest version of the jfor jar file from the "files" are of jfor's SourceForge site at sourceforge.net/projects/jfor
Copy jfor-XXX.jar (where XXX is jfor's version number) to the lib/optional subdirectory of your Cocoon source tree (the directory that contains fop-XXX.jar, for example).
Recompile Cocoon as you did before, this time the "Classes of the optional package JFOR are not available" message should not appear. - Install Cocoon
Follow Cocoon's INSTALL file instructions.
If you already have a tomcat installation (the web server that is often used to run Cocoon), it's just a matter of copying the cocoon.war file generated during Cocoon compilation to the webapps directory of tomcat and restarting tomcat. - Test Cocoon
For a standard tomcat/cocoon installation, http://localhost:8080/cocoon should show the Cocoon demonstration page ("Multimedia Hello World", etc.) - Add the hello.rtf definition to the sitemap.xmap
This will activate an RTF version of the Cocoon "hello" demonstration page.
In the main sitemap.xmap file or your Cocoon installation (under the tomcat installation directory, in webapps/cocoon):
after this element that already exists:<map:match pattern="hello.pdf"> . . . </map:match>
add this one:
<map:match pattern="hello.rtf"> <map:generate src="docs/samples/hello-page.xml"/> <map:transform src="stylesheets/page/simple-page2fo.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="fo2rtf"/> </map:match>
- Test the RTF serializer
If all goes well, requesting http://localhost:8080/cocoon/hello.rtf should deliver an RTF document saying "Hello, this is my first Cocoon page".
If it does, you're in business!
If not, your best bet is to look at the Cocoon log files under the WEB-INF/logs directory found under webapps/cocoon under the tomcat installation directory - Where to go next
Study the above sitemap entry and the stylesheets/page/simple-page2fo.xsl to see how Cocoon is now able to generate RTF out of the hello-page.xml document.
The full range of Cocoon features (access to XML documents over HTTP, XML databases, dynamic generation, etc.) is now available for you to generate RTF documents!
And, if you have a problem with jfor: help us solve it, contributions (code, documentation, etc.) are most welcome!

Planet Resort is a planet debuting in "Find Treasure Island!" in the anime, Bomberman Jetters.
After several failures in the hands of the Jetters, Bagura assigns a mission to Mujoe to retrieve the unique figurehead that wears a schoolgirl uniform in Planet Resort. The Hige-Hige arrive at the planet and are given a map to the item. The Jetters arrive as well, who were notified of the Hige-Hige's appearance and are given the same map. The Jetters, as well as the Hige-Hige, traverse the ocean searching for skull island, which contains the item.
Upon reaching the island, the island reveals itself as a giant squid. The giant squid hurls the Jetters and the Hige-Hige to a distant crescent-shaped island. On the other hand, Max has found the unique item on the crescent-shaped island. Before he could retreat, the Jetters spot Max and attempt to bring him down. Max, however, fights back and successfully retreats.

Louise Lee does not accept diamond gift from man
Friday, November 14, 2008
Louise Lee was at a Central jeweller yesterday trying on jewelry worth half a million dollars. She fancied a set of $13,000,000 dollars Nanyang Pearl and Diamond set. She expressed that if she can afford that jewelry she would rather invest in property. Louise disclosed that she hasn't been buying jewelry the past few years. However, she has collected a few carats diamonds which she bought for herself. She has never accepted a gift from man. "I haven't been unlucky with man. I don't want to talk about the first one, only I bought him things. The second one bought me some jewelries. But I think it is better not to accept gift from man because you have to give back a lot. You give your heart out and it gets eaten up. It is very difficult to control feelings and emotion. I can lose anything, but lose yourelf over some diamond jewelries." Louise remembered it was in 1977 when she bought herself the first diamond jewelry. Sher also bought some jewelries for her daughter. She felt hurt when her daughter just dumps the jewelries everywhere carelessly in the house. She keeps reminding her to look after them.

Scratchpad50.com puts 64 at Risk of ID Theft
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 9, 2007Media Contact: Aaron Titus
(202) 681-1686
BUFFALO, New York. In September 2007, a file containing around the names, social security numbers, scores, grades, and other information of about 64 students on Scratchpad50.com. The operator of the domain could not be readily identified, so the host and domain registrars were notified. Though the file had already been removed from the site when it was discovered, the information was available until September 18, 2007 through a Google Cache.
Individuals affected by this exposure should immediately visit www.nationalidwatch.org and search for their names, to confirm what types of personal information were exposed. NationalIDWatch.org has a list of recommended steps victims should take.
About NationalIDWatch.org
National ID Watch is a search engine for personal information breaches. Sponsored by the Washington, DC non-profit Liberty Coalition, NationalIDWatch.org provides more than a million free personalized Identity Exposure Reports™ as a public service.
Each Identity Exposure Report (IXR) documents what types of personal information were exposed (such as Social Security Numbers, Birth Dates, Addresses, etc.), without revealing them. Each IXR also details the situation surrounding each exposure, and contact information of those responsible for the breach. Armed with this information, victims can further investigate, take action, or correct harm.

In many ways, the industrial age has been an era of harvesting natural and social capital in order to create financial and productive capital. So far, the New Economy looks more like the next wave of the industrial era than a truly postindustrial one. Why should we care? Because, say the authors, the basic development patterns of the industrial era are not sustainable.
In the face of this challenge, organizational-learning expert Peter Senge and former Volvo and IKEA senior executive Goran Carstedt hail the emergence of a new environmentalism driven by innovation, not regulation — radical new technologies, products, processes and business models. They describe how more and more companies are recognizing the business opportunities that a focus on sustainability creates.
Such a shift in thinking is already evident in many companies and industries. Xerox employed "zero-waste-to-landfill" engineering to develop its 90% remanufacturable Document Centre 265 copier. Interface Inc. is no longer just a maker of commercial carpet tiles, but now — as a provider of "floor-covering services" — leases products and later recycles them completely. Such companies are applying learning-organization principles to create sustainable business models. Simultaneously, they become inspirational, energetic places to work, where even relationships with customers and suppliers improve.
Nonetheless, ecoefficiency alone will not create a truly postindustrial age. Ecoefficiency gains are laudable but dangerously incomplete, say the authors, as is any strategy that fails to consider how the economic system affects the larger ecological and social systems within which it resides. Only a more integrated view will enable companies to innovate for long-term profitability and sustainability. Industrial-age systems follow a linear flow of extract, produce, sell, use, discard: the "take-make-waste" approach to economic growth. A systemic approach would reduce all sources of waste: from production, use and disposal.
How can managers adapt? In stark contrast to industrial-age, command-and-control management methods are the three core competencies that learning organizations must master to profit from sustainability. First, they must encourage systemic thinking so that they can sense the emerging future. Second, they must convene strategic conversations with investors, customers, suppliers and even competitors to build the trust needed to change outmoded mental models about what business success is. Finally, they must take the lead in reshaping economic, political and societal forces that stymie change. True learning organizations stand out by championing business models that foster sustainable growth. According to Senge and Carstedt, no time in history has afforded greater possibilities for a collective change in direction.
Innovating Our Way to the Next Industrial Revolution
Several authors have made compelling business cases for environmental stewardship in recent years, including Paul Hawken, "The Ecology of Commerce" (HarperBusiness, 1993); Amory and Hunter Lovins, along with Hawken, "Natural Capitalism" (Little Brown and Co., 1999); and William McDonough and Michael Braungart, "The Next Industrial Revolution" (Atlantic Monthly, October 1998, 82-92; www.theatlantic.com/issues/98oct/industry.htm). For radical ideas on performance management, John Elkington explains triple-bottom-line practices in "Cannibals With Forks" (Oxford: Capstone, 1997), while accounting theorist Tom Johnson, coinventor of activity-based costing, argues in "Profit Beyond Measure" (Free Press, 2000) that companies with outstanding performance, like Toyota, mimic nature in their accounting practices, focusing on complex patterns rather than fragmented metrics. Janine Benyus' "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired byNature" (William Morrow, 1998) offers a different slant on naturalism, suggesting that technologies in harmony with nature will arise when biologists work with product designers. Lastly, Arie de Geus' "The Living Company" (Harvard Business School Press, 1997) and DeeHock's "Birth of the Chaordic Age" (Berrett-Koehler, 1999) examine planning, leading and governing when organizations are seen as living human communities.
To support those interested in building more-sustainable enterprises, there are several Web sites focused on environmental education and planning (The Natural Step at www.naturalstep.org), natural capitalism and hybrid cars (the Rocky Mountain Institute at www.rmi.org), ecoefficiency (the World Business Council for Sustainable Development at WBCSD.org), triple-bottom-line reporting (www.sustainability.co.uk and www.globalreporting.org) and organizational learning (SoLatwww.SoLonline.org).
1. Social capital refers to "connections among individuals — social networks and the norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness that arise with them." See: R.D. Putnam, "Bowling Alone" (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2000), p. 19. It is also the necessary context for developing human capital — skills and knowledge embedded in people. See: J.S. Coleman, "Social Capital and the Creation of Human Capital," American Journal of Sociology 94 (1988): 95–120.

Come on over to http://www.teachingquality.org/blogs to find the same content (by expert teachers!) with new features. Don't forget to subscribe on the new site!
By Dan Brown
In less than twelve minutes, National Board Certified Teacher and author Roxanna Elden with humor and candor distills the crucible facing new teachers and their students. I've embedded the video below; it's an extremely worthwhile watch.
Within the TED-style talk, Elden mentions her book See Me After Class, which I've read and can attest is a must-have for any new and prospective teachers. She facetiously refers to it as "Hard Liquor for the Teacher's Soul."
I'm reading Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns by Clayton Christensen, Michael Horn, and Curtis Johnson. The book envisions a future for education dominated by personalized, computer-based learning. I have issues with some of their conclusions— especially since much of their thesis rests on an unquestioning acceptance of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences— but midway through the book I was thunderstruck. They may have hit on the best shortcut to closing the achievement gap I've heard of.
I've been asked a handful of times recently if I recommend for someone to enter teaching through alternative certification program. It's a tricky question.
I've been through both of the main induction models into teaching. First I joined the New York City Teaching Fellows alternative certification program and endured a chaotic rookie experience in the Bronx; later I earned a master's degree at Teachers College, Columbia University in a program based on taking time on learning the craft.
I spent time over the weekend with a recent graduate from an Ivy League university. He's a brilliant, articulate, cosmopolitan guy who I am confident will rise to the top of his field (international relations). We started to talk about teaching— particularly Teach For America (TFA), which several of his peers were joining— and I started to get upset.
"Isn't it a good idea to get the top people in there?" he asked, echoing a compelling talking point.
Teachers make an uncountable number of decisions. Many of those decisions relate to how hard to push our students and how much leeway to grant those that don't conform to expectations.
The teaching profession is in the early stages of a massive overhaul, and many advocates are looking to the medical profession for a model of how to improve the quality and respect for teachers.
It's been just over a century since the Flexner Report revolutionized and dramatically improved the training of doctors. Here is a Wikipedia summary of its legacy:
The longer I work with 11th and 12th graders (this is my 5th year), the clearer it becomes to me that education really begins when a child is in the womb-- or even before. Lost time is rarely made up.
Last week, 50 employees— mostly senior staff— of the U.S. Department of Education spent their Wednesday shadowing teachers in D.C.-area schools. "ED Goes Back to School" is the first program that I know of in which senior policymakers systematically spend quality one-on-one time in teachers' shoes. I think it's brilliant; this type of program can and should be replicated in states and districts across the country.
The following post was written by an extra-special guest blogger and thirty-four-year veteran teacher: my mom, Marcia Brown.
Co-teaching Shakespeare to second-graders stands out as the highlight of my thirty-four-year career as a public school reading specialist. For the five years before I retired in 2005, I supported teachers and students in our study of the Bard, a journey that led us to intriguing discoveries daily. So when a former colleague (let's call her Olivia) asked if I would help her develop a second-grade Shakespeare curriculum in her new school, I responded with an emphatic "Yes!"
Ever been to a "prep" rally? It will be hard to top the one at Jennings High School in Jennings, Missouri where earlier this month teachers pumped up their students to take the EOC (End of Course) tests with a hip hop video.
The 4 minutes of rapping educators has gone viral. Check it out:
What do you think: is this brilliant and motivating? Sad misallocation of energy and resources? Harmless fun? Superficial noise? Teachers authentically connecting with students? Something else?
