Words give Lauren anxiety. Excel and Numbers don't.
She's the quintessential team player and fits right in with our media team that according to her, "rolls tight."
She's named after Lauren Bacall and has an enviable classic film collection.
In college, she was turned away from the Vatican because her skirt was too short.

Little Concert and Airbnb present Laura Misch at Jacks Solomons Club
Discover a new kind of jazz. Let Laura showcase her next generation jazz, which takes influences from more modern, electronic sounds. They'll be played alongside some compelling visual projections. The concert will light up an already colourful venue, named after a larger-than-life Londoner.
It was hard to miss Jack Solomons in Soho in the 1940s and 1950s. His boxing gym once stood on the site of the bar which now takes his name. The bar, so it's said, is the kind of bar that Jack would have liked to have owned all those years ago.
Developing over the last year and a half beyond her first instrument, saxophone, Laura's focus has been using electronics to generate sax-layered soundscapes. Laura makes both instrumental music and songs primarily on the cyclical themes of: connection, presence and release, the saxophone threading throughout everything.
She debuted her solo set in 2016 at the Camden Assembly alongside jazz and soul luminaries Soweto Kinch, Andrew Ashong, and Binker & Moses and her brilliant first LP, Playground, led her to being invited into play live on 6 Music with none other than Gilles Peterson.

lemme know pls if you have any tip
I'm working on a solution for this. The current MaxsonarXL implementation uses a generic analog source reader with a default median filter. The interface returns centimeters, so a simple wrapper around i.e. the New-Ping library might work, but I'm worried about the delay of measurement and how it might effect the control loop. To get around this I'm building a simple integrator circuit to convert the pulse width from the HC-SR04 into a voltage. This requires an extra pin to clear the voltage between readings, but if it works then it will just be another implementation of the AP_RangeFinder interface.
My first design gives a signal between ~.3V and 3.3V out to about four meters https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/4etd6v/integrator-for-hc-sr04-ul...
though that design is based on components I had on hand, it really should have a (forward bias) diode between the source and the pull down transistor, and the signal would be much cleaner with a FET. And the transistor's base should be the "clear" pin. And adding a timer and a buffer would make the functionality very similar to the maxsonar devices.
... it's a work in progress ^_^;;
also, this deserves a cross reference here I think:
though it may be less accurate, it is the fastest output to read. It also requires fewer pins. And in this particular case the HC-SR04 doesn't have a digital output, it's just analog in the time domain.
So just to see if i guet this right.... i have buy two of this (one as spar parts) to use in my quad with APM2... will it work???!
short answer: no.
long answer: check back in about a month and I may have a solution for you. or someone may have done it already and I simply haven't been able to find it.
I currently have a testing problem as I broke one of the motor mounts on my quad and jdrones is refusing to ship me a replacement, and I also haven't finished the software. so right now it's vapor, don't depend on it.
Ok i will get back to you, thanks.
I am also interested in this. I have both types of sonar, but I am trying to encourage my local community to build rovers and I am trying to get the price point down as far as possible. As I can get the HC-SR04 down to $1.50 in volume, I would like to be able to use this.
I am working with these on another project, so soon I may be able to help.
It is working on my Hobbyking Multiwii and Megapirate AIO Flight Controller set up as a sonar XL-EZL0. This is working on the bench using Mission Planner and seems to be reading from 3cms to 350 cms (the size of my room) so should work further away. I will check when I get time and will update you
It will worked with a Hobbyking Multiwii and Megapirate AIO Flight Controller using Mission Planner. Arducopter 2.5 will NOT work with the cheap HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module you can buy on ebay for $2.00 Have a look at http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/sonar/ this will help a lot. If you need more info have a look at .http://maxbotix.com/articles/067.htm

Consumers who have poor credit, no credit or don't have access to traditional bank accounts often find prepaid debit cards helpful, because they offer features like direct deposit and make it possible to shop online or using smartphone apps. Still, they don't have a lot of the benefits associated with credit cards, like the strong consumer protections and the ability to build credit. A lot of credit cards offer rewards, too, which aren't things you generally get from prepaid debit cards.
That's started to change, most recently with a new product from American Express. On Wednesday, AmEx announced Serve Cash Back, which offers cardholders a 1% cash back reward on every purchase. For someone who uses prepaid debit cards as a regular form of payment, that 1% cash back could be a nice way to save a little money.
Serve Cash Back has a $5.95 monthly fee (there's no fee in New York, Texas or Vermont), so cardholders would have to spend roughly $600 a month to break even. There's no minimum balance requirement, and as with most prepaid debit cards, there's no credit check required to get it (that's a huge part of these products' appeal).
The often-cited drawback of prepaid debit cards in general is the fee structure. You could end up paying a lot just to load cash onto the card or use an ATM to get cash out, but as long as you're familiar with your card's fees and use the card in a way that avoids incurring them, prepaid cards can be affordable, convenient financial tools.
Remember that using a prepaid debit card will not help (or hurt) your credit, because banks do not report debit card activity to the three major credit reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. If you want to build credit, you may want to consider using a secured credit card — they're typically about as easy to get as prepaid debit cards, making them useful for people with no credit or a history of credit problems who want to rebuild. Here's an expert guide to the best secured credit cards available and how they can help you improve your credit score. If you're working on building your credit, but not sure where you stand, there are many ways you can get your credit scores for free — including through Credit.com — to track your progress.
Note: It's important to remember that interest rates, fees and terms for credit cards, loans and other financial products frequently change. As a result, rates, fees and terms for credit cards, loans and other financial products cited in these articles may have changed since the date of publication. Please be sure to verify current rates, fees and terms with credit card issuers, banks or other financial institutions directly.

COVID-19 update: Client advice on what to do during the Coronavirus crisis
Some helpful information
Neutering is carried out at our main surgery on Victoria Road, although the post-operative checks can be done at your local branch.
If you would like to save 20% on the cost of neutering, ask our reception team about the Pet Health Club.
Neutering is the removal of the testicles in male animals (castration) and the removal of ovaries and uterus in female animals (spaying). We usually recommend that the procedure be carried out when the animal is about six months old. This ensures they don't develop any unwanted 'sex-linked' behaviour – for example spraying urine or 'interacting' with objects that they find attractive.
All neutering is carried out under general anaesthetic, which means your pet will have to be left at the vets for a few hours.
If you don't plan to let your pet have a litter, we would recommend neutering. There are many advantages to having your pet neutered:
For females, there is less mess, less unwanted attention from males and no chance of unplanned pregnancies. The procedure also prevents infection in the uterus and can reduce the chances of the animal developing types of mammary cancer.
For males, there is a significantly reduced chance of developing cancer of the prostate, testicles and some types of anal cancer. Neutering a male animal will also curb aggressive or enthusiastic sexual behaviour.
Many people are under the impression that neutering their pet may affect their personality. This is a bit of a myth – dogs actually become easier to train because their minds do not wander as much without those raging hormones!
Some animals can put on a bit of weight after neutering, but this is easily controlled with a suitable diet – it is just a matter of adjusting your animal's calorific intake accordingly.
All neutering is carried out under general anaesthetic, which means that your pet will have to be left at the vets for a few hours. You will have been asked to withhold food from your pet from the previous evening at 9pm and water from first thing in the morning. We will arrange an admission appointment with one of our team, usually between 8am and 9am. Your pet will usually remain with us for the day and we will arrange an appointment for you to collect them later in the afternoon or evening. At this appointment, you will be given information on the neutering and the aftercare required. We then offer free post-operative checks.
Usually, the only additional costs to the estimated price will be if your pet requires pain relief. If there are concerns that your pet may worry the stitches or wound site, we also recommend a buster collar or t shirt.

The National - The Iranian artist Pouran Jinchi takes dark inspiration from the writer Sadegh Hedayat
October, 2013
The solitary owl, which exists in the shadows and cares not to socialise even with its own kind, represents death in many cultures. In The Blind Owl, a novel written by Sadegh Hedayat in 1937, the symbol takes on an even darker level. When the opening line talks of the "sores in life that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it", it is difficult to imagine it going anywhere else. Yet, when Pouran Jinchi picked up the novel a few years ago, she decided to deconstruct it, turn it into visual art and focus on the spiritual message in the pessimistic plot, which is one of self-discovery.

Yash Raj films had created much mystery and speculations about the girl who would be cast opposite SRK in their next mega venture 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'. The suspense now comes to an end with the announcement of Anushka Sharma's name as the female lead for the film.
Anushka, 19 year old teenager, is a small time model from Bangalore. During the last Fashion Week, Anushka was one of the models picked for Wendell Roderick's finale. Since then she has been doing product endorsements.
Right from the beginning, Anushka wanted to make it big in the glamour world. She studied in Army School and then went ahead to do graduation in arts from Mount Carmel College, Bangalore.
With moral support from her parents, a confident Anushka got herself enrolled in Elite Modelling Agency. She was groomed by renowned style consultant Prasad Bidapa, who met her when she was just 13. Bidapa admits that Anushka always had the quality to be a star.
Designer Wendell Rodricks selected her for his finale show in 2007 at Fashion week. Later, Anushka did few ad-campaigns for Whisper, Silk & Shine and Fiat Palio.
She bagged her dream debut in Aditya Chopra's film 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' through Elite Modelling Agency.
Talking about the choice, Yash Chopra said, "We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka Sharma. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh.

Buying wholesale montreal canadiens snapbacks can help you save a substantial amount of cash if you want to buy several limit to get resale or for a sports group, promotional occasion. It's feasible to truly have the number of caps you'd discover in a main shop and never have to spend the mark-up for that hats by eliminating the store. Nevertheless, buying wholesale isn't without drawbacks. Based on wherever you get the caps, you might not have while you might just as much selection or capability to modify should you bought via a devoted modification store.
The very first thing when buying wholesale montreal canadiens snapbacks, you need to think about is what customizations you'll need. You'll need to visit a producer that may do the job for you personally if you're planning to include images towards the limit. Nevertheless, these producers are usually restricted to people who can offer a sizable enough purchase to warrant the usage of their factory equipment or merchants. For promotional activities that are big, this could be super easy to complete. For softball groups or baseball, this is as unrealistic. Nevertheless, with respect to the period you get the montreal canadiens snapbacks, or knowing you'll require exactly the same type of hats for potential activities months, team-leaders can buy these hats from producers with modification choices at costs really near to wholesale without having to visit a store.
Should you not care what emblem is about the limit, or you intend to obtain just a few hats, it's feasible and never have to purchase countless hats to obtain the discount to buy wholesale montreal canadiens snapbacks. It's common for large purchases of products and caps for activities or promotional utilize to become offered towards the public for merely a portion of the price that they would be sold by a regular store for. Manufacturers may appreciate ads of the products by promoting preferred manufacturers of caps at wholesale cost. This could be worth dropping a profit profit. While you may obtain top quality caps for merely a portion of exactly what the caps might usually set you back through large-scale promotional initiatives, for example wholesale pricing on caps, businesses may market their products. The buying price of montreal canadiens snapbacks cans also significantly change, as cheaper production expenses lead to cheaper wholesale rates.
Something when buying wholesale montreal canadiens snapbacks from www.hatsfinder.com to think about is whether you needed flexible caps or a fixed. Unlike flexible caps, that are designed in mass after which tailored after production with images, installed caps are made to match a particular sized mind. As a result of this, they're not usually designed for promotional occasions where it's not certain what measured mind the new homeowners may have. Although it can be done to make use of regulations of earnings to find out which measurement caps works best for that marketing, installed caps less generally available at wholesale rates and in many cases are created custom to-order, making them more costly. Fitted hats are usually reserved for for groups with vendors that aid purchase the extra expenses of the caps or high end groups.

Trenbolone is one powerful steroid that is most definitely not geared for newbies.
This bad boy has got to be the most dangerous steroid going. Yet it's a roid that can knock the socks off its competition in terms of strength and gains.
Going by the above I can understand why so many hard gainers are tempted with this so called "wonder drug".
The word on the bench press – if you don't gain with tren then there's no hope.
However, it does need to be handled with extreme caution. Trenbolone might excel in gains but it also has some brutal side effects tagged to it.

Trenbolone history: About this steroid
Trenbolone rocked up back in the 60's.
Its main role?
Bulking up beef cattle, which still remains the case today.
Fast forward to the 70's.
Trenbolone became available in liquid form and the juice was born.
Jump to the 80's.
US bodybuilders jumped on the tren bandwagon and it fast became the roid of choice. Trenbolone created a name for itself and became a victim of its own success.
It's popularity among athletes simply highlighted to authorities how out of control usage had become.
It all ground to a halt.
The manufacturer pulled the plug on its liquid form.
Instead, the very same manufacturer came up with an alternative form. They began to produce tren in pellets geared for implanting behind the ears of livestock.
I've heard stories about guys hell bent for their tren fix. It was commonplace for people to get hold of a batch of these fella's and find creative ways to "brew" them through coffee filters into juice.
Is Trenbolone legal?
Let me put to you this way.
Do you have four legs and destined for the golden arches?
No, I'm not on drugs.
If are you buying trenbolone for the sole purpose of beefing up livestock. Then yes, you can go ahead as you are within the law.
After all, this is what trenbolone was originally designed for.
If you intend to use it for human purposes, that's when it becomes a complicated subject.
Geography plays a big part in legalities – the stance on trenbolone does vary from country to country.
And if you chat to the world doping agency they will tell you it's on their list of banned substances.
Trenbolone Effects – How Does It Work?
Trenbolone is an offshoot of nandrolone and has both androgenic and anabolic abilities.
Once in your system tren enhances nitrogen absorption in the muscles, which rockets the rate of protein synthesis.
Trenbolone also encourages the natural production of IGF1 – insulin-like growth factor 1 protein hormone and HGH – human growth hormone.
In simple terms, you will gain big – FAST!
Pros and Cons
Here are the potential pros and cons of Trenbolone the steroid:

Unfortunately it's not all good that come with the use of this illegal drug. You may have to pay for trenbolone with not just a lot of money, but also your health and in extreme cases with your life.
These side-effects and cons are not guaranteed but have been reported:

Top 8 Benefits of Trenbolone Explained
Trenbolone is a dangerous steroid, yet it's only fair that we acknowledge the advantages of using this drug. To be honest, there must be some pluses to tren, otherwise why would anyone risk taking it?
Here is a round-up of the reasons why so many bro's feel this is a popular choice:
- Rapid mass gains
- Burns fat
- Preserves muscle
- Doesn't aromatize – no water retention
- Increases red blood cells
- Improves stamina
- Impressive strength gains
- Increases nutrient efficiency
- Endurance gains
- Encourages protein synthesis
- Improves recovery times
Below I explain the top 8 trenbolone benefits, the reasons why guys are actually using tren.
As we've said before it works fast to build muscle mass and this is how it works:
1. Increases IGF-1 Production
IGF-1 has a similar structure as insulin and is produced naturally in our liver.
This hormone is very anabolic and stimulates hypertrophy (muscle growth) and hyperplasia (production of new muscle cells).
It has powerful muscle building effects and is therefore were desirable among bodybuilders.
2. Increases Protein Synthesis
Protein synthesis is responsible for replacing damaged proteins with new and stronger ones.
When you work out or lift weight your body needs to replace the proteins that you damaged when you worked out.
Here's how it works:
Trenbolone will make this process faster and better.
So you will replace damaged proteins faster and with stronger proteins.
This will result in quicker recovery and more muscle growth.
3. Increases Nitrogen Retention
Here's the deal:
Nitrogens are found in amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.
By measuring the nitrogen content in your body you are able to find out if you are actually building muscle.
If more nitrogen is consumed throughout the day then lost, it means that muscle is being created (anabolism).
Trenbolone helps retain nitrogen which will directly lead to more muscle growth.
4. More Red Blood Cell Production
The role of red blood cells is to carry oxygen through the body.
By having more oxygen available you will have more stamina, power and endurance.
This can be very beneficial when working out.
5. Makes You Vascular
Many users report getting vascular and seeing way more visible veins when using tren.
The most likely reason for this is the increased oxygen flow in the body which may cause your veins to pop out more.
6. No Water Retention
Unlike most other steroids Trenbolone does not cause water retention.
Water retention can make you look bloated all over your body and kind of ruin your physique.
The best part?
Trenbolone delivers lean muscle gains while looking more cut in the process.
7. More Nutrition Efficiency
Trenbolone comes with an interesting benefit.
It makes the body make the most out of the nutrients we consume.
Here's how it works:
Tren utilizes the foods that we consume, making every gram of food more valuable.
This nutrition efficiency will directly increase performance and muscle growth.
8. Inhibits Glucocorticoid Steroid Production
Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone and small amounts of it are essential to our health and functions.
However too much of these hormones can promote fat can and cause muscle loss.
This is beneficial because:
Trenbolone reduces the production of glucocorticoid, which prevents the loss of muscle mass and fat gain.
Trenbolone Results
Users generally experience great results with Trenbolone when it comes down to building muscle mass and getting stronger.
Trenbolone usually kicks in pretty fast so many users experience great results in just about 3 weeks.
However keep in mind that it also depends on what kind of cycle is used that determines what kind of results can be achieved.
We also don't all respond to each drug the same way.
However in general users should:
- Get stronger fast
- Build more lean more lean muscle mass
- Recover faster after hard workouts
- Get more vascular

Trenbolone Side Effects
It goes without saying the side effects of tren can vary from bro to bro. I'm not saying you will experience every single one of them, after all everyone responds to drugs differently.
Just get genned up and prepared for what could hit you. Here's the roll call of side affects you can expect with trenbolone:
- Acne
- Anxiety
- Aggressive behavior
- Baldness
- Erectile dysfunction
- Excessive sweating
- Excessive oily skin
- Gynecomastia
- Insomnia
- Increases blood pressure
- Increases heart rate
- Increased or decreased sex drive
- Irritability
- Suppresses testosterone production
- Night sweats
- Testicular atrophy
- Tren cough
As you can see most side effects are what you would typically expect from jacking up steroids.
And now I'm going to level with you.
The thing with trenbolone is that you get the added bonus of a few additional extras, exclusive to this juice.
The tag of tren cough came about because not long after stabbing the needle and shooting the gear into your body, you start hacking uncontrollably.
You will also want to drink plenty of extra fluids on tren. Sweating like a horse is one major side effect, and for some reason the floodgates seem to open more at night.
And it's not just night sweats that will keep you awake, trenbolone will do a fine job of insomnia all on its own.
Be prepared for some crazy dreams and don't forget if your old man has a receding hairline, the chances are it's going to fast forward your hair loss too.
Safest way to run a Trenbolone Cycle
Obviously, one of the top questions guys ask is:
"What's the safest way to run a trenbolone cycle?"
If you are questioning safety, should you really be doing it at all?
It's no secret the potency of trenbolone is not something to make light of. If you are dead-set on trying tren, it's always best to start off with lower dosages and see how your body reacts to the side effects.
The best way is to go with the legal alternatives….
Where to buy legal trenbolone alternatives?
Luckily for you it's the year 2018! And like I mentioned before there are a handful of premium supplement companies that have evolved very fast in recent years.

Believe me, there are plenty of safe ways out there to build muscle and it means you get to keep your health and on the right side of the law. Such as Trenorol by CrazyBulk
Here are some more frequently asked questions about trenbolone.
What is Trenbolone Used for?
The official use.
A cost effective and efficient method for farmers to beef up their cattle before they go to slaughter.
The unofficial use:
Trenbolone is the primary go-to for experienced guys who want to enhance performance, gain muscle and ultimately get ripped in a short space of time.
Are these "trenbolone alternatives" really legal?
Yes, absolutely. Let me be very very extremely clear. These products are NOT actually steroids. They're natural bodybuilding supplements with natural ingredients formulated in approved facilities.
Is Trenbolone legal?
Trenbolone the steroid is NOT legal. It's banned by the FDA.
That's why we recommend the LEGAL TRENBOLONE ALTERNATIVES listed above. They're safe, legal bodybuilding supplements and are also really effective at building muscle mass and burning fat.
Is trenbolone legal in USA?
If you live in the USA
Trenbolone falls into schedule III of controlled substances
This means you are violating the law if you sell, purchase, possess or manufacture anabolic steroids.
The FDA (U.S Food & Drug Administration) only recognizes and approves trenbolone for animal and veterinary use. There isn't any kind of backing for human consumption.
Is trenbolone legal in UK?
If you live in the UK anabolic steroids are classed as category C drugs, which means they are legal if needed for medical reasons.
This involves taking a trip to the doc's to get a prescription and the drugs can only be dispensed by licensed pharmacists.
So, let's get real.
Even though you might think there is a window of opportunity.
No doctor in their right mind is going to give the ok on the grounds of you wanting to improve your physique.
However, there is a grey area.
It's not illegal to possess steroids for personal use in the UK.
But be warned.
If authorities think you are selling or importing them you could find yourself in a whole heap of trouble.
What are the types of Trenbolone?
There are various forms of trenbolone knocking around and the stand out difference boils down to their half-lives – meaning how fast your body processes it.
- Trenbolone-acetate is probably preferred by most because it's generally well tolerated and considered to give you a more stable flow of the drug. It's also fast acting and passes through the body quicker which means if you get any nasty side effects, they don't' hang around for too long.
- Trenbolone-ethanate stays in your system longer than acetate – I'm talking up to around a week. Bearing this in mind, it means you don't need to take it as often.
- Trenbolone-hexyahydrobencylcarbonate is last on the list for one reason – you can't get hold of legit versions. To be honest, even if you could, the other two forms are far superior to tren-hex.
What's a Typical Trenbolone Dosage?
Depending on your goals and toleration typical dosages can vary.
However, you need to remember.
Trenbolone is five times stronger than testosterone which means your dosing decisions should not be taken lightly.
50mg every other day is often the starting point for tren newbies, yet veterans can take up to 150 mg every other day.
What's a Typical Trenbolone Cycle?
Trenbolone is very versatile from the point of view it can be used for both bulking or cutting cycles.
A period of 8 weeks is considered a typical tren cycle, although experienced users could max it out to 12 weeks if they wanted to.
Trenbolone Cycle Chart
If you want to make massive muscle gains, increasing your strength levels and completely transforming your body into a jacked beast…. legally and WITHOUT the tren side-effects…
Then I'd recommend the Bulking Stack from CrazyBulk. It contains the most powerful legal steroids in the world in one package. It's designed to give you massive muscle growth in less than 30 days WITHOUT side-effects.

Mock-up fitting
The cedar top soprano is bound. I won't say the binding is everything I hoped it would be. But other than that I think it has great potential.

A tough neck to carve
But it was really hard to carve. I usually go directly from knives to 180 grit sandpaper, but this wood wanted to splinter and tear so I had to make the final shaping starting with 40 grit. That's as coarse as asphalt.
But, as so often the case is with ukuleles, it turned out nice again.

Episode IV, a new hope
Others have turned out really really good. But I need to think about my routines.
So for the upcoming season I promise myself not to build when I'm not in a good mood. I'll not build for others than I want to. I'll make sure to finish stuff I've started ages ago.
This week I upgraded the workshop / workbench by mounting the solera on the wall, and the go-bar deck is stabilized by hooks that the threaded rods go through when they're attached to the board. It made a big difference.
The solera-free workbench is also secured to the two walls in its corner, so it won't rock when I plane stuff.
And on to the pics then - on the solera is the first soprano with a one-piece rim, it'll be a cedar top mahogany uke with binding around the soundboard. (I tell you about it so I can't chicken out of binding it.) The uke is the first in a long time that isn't ordered, I just felt like building a soprano with a softwood top.
If it's any good I'll put it up for sale. (If the binding's good that is...)
And in the other pic, you can see a resonator! I got cones and coverplates from Chickenbone John in England. The first one I finish will go to Arizona, Brian has helped me out for years now.
But the coverplates have those holes for the strings, I'll probably make a stringholder across them to save the nylon strings from snapping.
Stay tuned, I can promise all of you that some great ukes will be made now!

Happy birthday to this sweet, sassy, beautiful daughter of mine! This afternoon I made her favorite cookies, brownie/peppermint, and took them down to the Drill Team. We decorated her room, gave her gifts, and took her to the Old Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square for dinner. We stopped for a quick visit with Santa before scurrying home to get her to the high school where the student body was watching Elf.
Happy Birthday Lizzy Lou! Love my baby girl!

For many forward-looking companies, CSR has generated significant sustainable growth and business opportunities that otherwise would never have been possible.
Submitted by: Jonathan Løw
Posted: Feb 01, 2013 – 09:24 AM EST
Tags: business ethics, leadership, csr, unilever, patagonia, general mills, cipla, innovation, stakeholder engagement
By Jonathan Løw
According to U.S. marketing guru Seth Godin there is "No such thing as business ethics." In particular, I feel challenged by his claim that: "Only people can have ethics". His point: only individuals can have desires to do something good for the community, whether it will be financially beneficial or not. Ergo, companies have no ethics.
I understand Godin's point, since companies are increasingly under pressure from a reality where shareholders and investors demand quick and bottom line-oriented solutions, while the world's problems grow increasingly complex and, by contrast need long-term change.
However, Godin overlooked something critical: CSR in the more forward-thinking companies of the world has generated significant sustainable growth and business opportunities that otherwise would never have been possible.
This is business created out of ethical concerns about the company's role in the world – and the resulting innovation and business and product development.
If you start by asking yourself why a company exists, you create a new approach to product development and strategy, for example. CSR becomes systemic – and the company a part of something bigger.
Simply looking through this lens creates new dynamics and new solutions, and examples of this are many:
I believe that most companies have a unique opportunity to become market leaders when it comes to systematic and innovative CSR.
In my home country of Denmark, we are children of a welfare state that, whatever your opinion of the state may be, is an example of taking responsibility for one another and our society. Our welfare society gives us a certain way of thinking that allows us to think of product innovation, business development and thereby sustainable business on several levels.
New studies from Harvard Business School and The Fudan University in China suggest that companies with a strong focus on CSR outperform the market when it comes to the ability to create new technologies, business models and "creative quantum leaps".
The same studies also point out that CSR can strengthen relationships with external stakeholders – be they customers, suppliers, NGOs or governments. All these stakeholders hold important knowledge – knowledge that can help the company stay ahead of changing market conditions, preferences and new technologies, thus facilitating these "leaps".
Ultimately, it is about daring. Taking that leap.
As the author of Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury said: "Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down."

Let me explain.
I've been a part of market research panels for YEARS. In fact, I have to admit that because of my years of experience of actually calling respondents on the phone as well as sending mail surveys and now online surveys -- I always feel obligated to take the time and effort to go through any survey that is offered me. I suppose you can call it paying it backward rather than forward.
$2 just isn't enough for 20 or 40 minutes of my time.
The last two panel survey requests I've received offered me $2 for between 2o and 40 minutes of my time. I had prepared myself by taking the survey on a Saturday morning over coffee. And then about 2 minutes into the survey -- I just bailed. I tried not to -- but I just couldn't keep answering long matrix questions on attributes for a company I had NO experience with.
I also have to admit that this is not the first panel survey I bailed on -- I've bailed on several over the last month or so primarily because they are too long -- even online and even over lunch, I just can't seem to dedicate 30 minutes to answering stupid questions. And the questions have terrible logic - I can absolutely understand asking me questions about a product, service or company that I used. But if I'm not a user and have no experience - it doesn't work to ask me 50 questions about the detailed attributes on the subject. It's fine and fair to ask me say 5 or 10 questions -- but anything more than that is just too frustrating. As a respondent I hate having to repeat "I don't KNOW" and then not have an option for N/A.
Does the panel you paid for REALLY represent your target audience?
Anyone can sign up for a panel. Anyone can be any demographic in a panel. In the survey I bailed on, they were offering $2 for 20 minutes. After going through the first 15 questions, I could see that their target audience wasn't going to spend the time required to give them the quality answers they wanted.
So are they getting the good data that they need from their target audience? I don't think so. In fact, I think they are paying $5 per respondent for garbage.
Yet I have to think that there is value in these old fashioned online panel studies. I'd love to hear from the online panel research folks and have them explain the logic here.
Mobile market research panels are better, cheaper, funner
Over the last several months, I've been playing in the mobile market research panel sandbox and I have to say the experience is EXPONENTIALLY more engaging, valid and valuable to the company doing the research.
- Real people. When you use a mobile smartphone to answer a survey, your demographics are locked in. We know who you are.
- Location focus. Your smartphone also has GPS feature that shows where you are. This makes geographic targeting much easier,.
- Super short surveys. Only one to 5 questions per survey means you are in and out in an average of 30 seconds.
- More fun. The mobile survey panel questions occur as much more fun and engaging. I'm not sure if it's how they are worded or the fact that the surveys are short. I can only say that people like taking them. You can take a survey in the grocery line, waiting at the doctor's office or during a boring meeting. Either way, you feel part of a community and it doesn't take up much of your time.
I don't think online research panels are dead by any stretch of the imagination. I think that we will see the use of panels increase. But I certainly hope that the long surveys are done and over with because at this stage of the game, I'm not sure that any customer worth having will have the time or attention span to complete a survey that takes any more than a couple of minutes.

"Mediatech is the only real broadcasting event of its kind that provides a good forum to network with virtually the whole broadcast industry. It's an opportunity to build relationships and introduce customers to product specialists who can talk in detail about topical technologies and the solutions to address their current and future needs." says Steve Alves, MD of Concilium Technologies who is exhibiting again this year. After NAB, Alves is excited about showcasing new products from Harris, Ross, Telecast, Prodys to name a few, along with some interesting additional products from other partners. "There are just too many great products to mention", says Alves who encourages attendees to visit their stand to view the exciting array of brands on display.
Confirmed exhibitors in broadcast, film and production for this year include:
Touchvision, African Union Communications, Atos, Concilium Technologies, Gencom, Inala Technologies, Jaycor International, Mac Africa, Macro Video, Media Cloud, Movie Vision, Neotel, Penmac Audio Visual, Questek Advanced Technologies, Telemedia, Case Connection, Movie Mart / Media Film Services, Phoenix Fire, Etere.
Exhibitors, Inala Technologies, Telemedia and MovieVision are among a number of companies looking forward to bringing out some valuable international principles. Broadcasters, producers, cinema owners and post production professionals will be able to engage in product expertise from these highly regarded guests and speakers attending Mediatech Africa in July. Inala Technologies will also be exhibiting and demonstrating the newest products from TVLogic, Harmonic, Aviwest, Riedel and Pebble Beach and some well-known names in the industry such as Associated Press, TSL and MOG will also be present. Telemedia's Michael Hall, international sales manager for Crystal Vision Ltd, looks after sales in many countries across the world and is excited to showcase products to visitors in broadcasting and teleports. Says Hall: "Mediatech is a busy show with good connections to the local broadcasters."
An exciting addition to this year's trade show will be the display of film and broadcast equipment that will take visitors on a journey through time. The Film Museum will show an interesting spread of antique gear, some of which is still in working order, dating back to the start of the South Africa film and broadcast industry. The equipment clearly highlights a rapidly transforming age of technology and aligns with Mediatech Africa's on-going initiative to deliver the latest in cutting edge technology and trends.
When visitors aren't being captivated by live outdoor sound demos or exploring ample opportunities to network and rub shoulders with key players in the industry, they are invited to join in on a spread of training presentations and technology workshops.
The exhibition will take place between 17 and 19 July at The Coca-Cola Dome, Johannesburg and visitors are invited to register free at www.mediatech.co.za before 7 July to avoid paying R50 at the door.

I've always loved music, I mean ever since I was a pre-teen. Back then, I picked through stacks of my parents' records to build my music appreciation. I have a distinct memory of Mom taking a Barry White album from eight year-old me and saying something like, "Maybe not this one, mijo." I was achingly oblivious at that age and questioned why I couldn't listen (though, a savvier kid would have figured it out, as the album cover literally depicts White with gorgeous women in the palms of his hands). What came next never left me. Mom said, "This is grown folks' music." And then, I'm pretty sure she and Dad have a good laugh as she returned the album to a higher shelf.
"Drink or 2," the new single from Houston's own Rosewood Thievz, took me back to those days on a first listen. Frances Sendejas, God rest her soul, would have stored it out of my reach were this 1973. It's grown folks' music, for sure.
"It's the story of saying you'll step out and grab just one drink. Maybe you're tired, maybe you didn't plan on doing anything at all but someone convinced you,...next thing you know, you lost track of time and trying to figure out how you got so many drinks deep," explained Big Game James, one-third of Rosewood Thievz.
For the uninitiated, the Thievz blend diverse genres into their brand of R&B/hip hop, which they've dubbed "Groove Over Division." Big Game James, Killa Swami and Rodeo Joe (a.k.a. Joe-Yo - the monikers are interchangeable "like Notorious and Biggie," James clarifies) first brought their individual tastes in music together in Third Ward in 2012.
"Rodeo, Swami and I go back to early years of high school. I lived a street in front of Swami and we both had mutual friends with Rodeo, we were always at the same parties," James recalls. "Around that time Swami used to have UGK's Dirty Money album stuck in his car's CD player, so when we'd ride around it was either listen to that or 93.7 The Arrow or Magic 102. Classic rock and classic groove hit us hard, stuff that moves you.
"After college, I got an apartment on Rosewood. Swami and Rodeo moved in a house two blocks down on Rosewood and that's where we started our house parties and freestyles over songs by S.O.S. Band, Loose Ends and other soul and funk bands with the groove."
Since then, Rosewood Thievz has earned a following on the strength of steady output via full-length albums, EPs, guest appearances and singles, like "Drink or 2." They've proven Groove Over Division isn't just blank ideology by taking Christmas music and sports anthems and giving them the Rosewood Thievz treatment.
"We've always shared the same interests in music," James says. "DJ Screw was our curator of G-funk, other west and east coast artists and, of course, Fat Pat and all of the S.U.C. showed us how to really groove on old school R&B type sounds. Rodeo grew up heavy in the church and sang in a youth choir that included Tamar Davis, who went on to tour with Prince. He's also classically trained on piano. You can hear some of that gospel influence in the harmonies of 'Drink or 2.'"
The song might not take you to church, but it could lead to the confessional. Any dedicated drinker knows a night of imbibing can nudge you to those after-midnight places where questionable decisions are simultaneously rewarded and punished. "Drink or 2" oozes with the sexy possibilities of those moments.

"The approach to the production on that song was like a Voltron of Missy, Erykah Badu and Pimp C," James noted. "Those are three of our biggest influences. Also TLC, En Vogue, Destiny's Child, Aaliyah - people who put everything in their songs and performances."
As someone who grew up on vinyl, I hear For You-era Prince, with a smidgen of Marvin Gaye when he was at his freakiest in the song. Turns out, Big Games James' father had a history with vinyl that spurred his own interest in music.
"My dad was a disco and reggae deejay so those records were always all around as well as new wave, ska and soul records," he said. "I was about three or four when my family in Lafayette, Louisiana gave me an accordion and would put me on stage with the zydeco bands that would be on tour up and down I-10. They'd all stop at my Aunt Helen's house and she'd cook for the whole community and those bands would play concerts on her front porch with me on stage 'playing' my accordion. Zydeco and gospel are community music — and that's a big part of where we come from."
"Drink or 2" is available on Spotify and is a featured track on the band's YouTube channel (check out the video for "Grown Moves" while you're there - it's a personal favorite and a different take on being grown). Your next chance to get out and actually have a drink or two with Rosewood Thievz is L.O.U.D. Fest, June 16 at Raven Tower.

This year the Danish manufacturer muuto presented the pendant light 'Plugged' designed by the Swedish designers Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle. The lamp plays with the elements most lighting armatures try to hide. The cable becomes accented part of the design.
"It emphasizes how the lamp is "brought to life" thereby giving it character and difference. The space between the shade and the ceiling is highlighted by the pattern of the textile cord – and the placing of the plug on the side gives the lamp a dynamic appearance and brings life to an otherwise static typology."

Photography Receipt Template (Detail) - IMFE edition
License: Private Use (not for distribution or resale). See our Terms of Use.
You are safe to download the resources. We've added our digital signatures to the files.

Download this if you have already installed IMFE, and are looking for additional customized templates; or if you want a template for Invoice Manager (Lite).
If you run a photography studio focusing on producing images you might find Photography Receipt Template (Detail) / Photography Receipt Format (Detail) interesting. Compared to Photography Invoicing Template (General), the layout of Photography Receipt Template (Detail) offers more fields for the images purchased.
Both Photography Invoicing Template (General), Photography Receipt Template (Detail) are titled with the word "Photography", yet they have very different format layout. Photography Invoicing Template (General) / Photography Billing Format (General) (c4043) was a general invoicing format that should be suitable for many business types, whether you are providing services or selling products (images). On the other hand, Photography Receipt Template (Detail) / Photography Receipt Format (Detail) (c8005) is basically suitable for businesses who print and sell images. With the rise of digital photography several years ago, photography has made rapid strides. With the passage of time photography has progressed into various fields such as photojournalism, food photography, travel photography, and many more. We design these two formats and layouts for you to choose the one you like. Note that these formats, including the PDF invoice template, are just samples on how to customize the default sales invoice template shipped with Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software).
You can of course use only the template without installing Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software), which still produces beautiful and professional looking invoices, by installing Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software) the template could become a complete invoicing program, that is able to not only create invoices, but also to manage your customers, products, invoices and payments in an easy and quick way. For example, to find out all the receipts or invoices that contains certain products / items, you simply enter the search condition on the search bar, and then press the Enter key on your keyboard.
The most fascinating side of photography lies in the move from photography using film to photography using media storage. Nowadays even "traditional" photographers have begun to use digital SLR cameras in order to obtain the most brilliant and clear pictures possible. This template, Photography Receipt Template (Detail) or Photography Receipt Format (Detail), includes fields for digital image processing, such as the "CD" field. Including the CD field, there are totally 8 columns on this template - "ROLL", "DIMENSIONS", "GLOSSY / MATTE", "COLOR / B&W", "# in ROLL", "DOUBLES?", "CD?" and "LINE TOTAL". The "DIMENSIONS" field is actually the "Product Name" field in the original Sales Invoicing Template shipped with Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software). The "Product ID", "Quantity" and "Price" fields, which are found in many templates available here on InvoicingTemplate.com, were moved out of the printable area of the sheet. Beside "DIMENSIONS" and "LINE TOTAL", all the other 6 columns are custom fields that are not defined in the default database (and template) shipped with Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software).
If you are a freelancer photographers, or you want to start a photography business, for example a wedding photography business, you can download this template and use it for your business. Feel free to modify the title guidance, layout, colors, and fonts to suit your business style. You can also use our sample photography receipts / invoices as the starting point of your own template.

text: These last three days have been so action packed. Friday we had our Janmashtmi puja. I managed to fast all day with Mayank. When I woke up in the morning I didnt have an intention to but I thought it will be ok if I ate some fruits and had juice every 2 hrs. I remember last Janmashtmi I over slept in the afternoon and my empty stomach made me pay a price. I was throwing up till the puja actually began. Thankfully this time it was a piece of cake (?) ohh! I mean this time it was relatively simpler. I had a big glass of lassi along with Makhane(Lotus seeds) and groundnuts for lunch. Very filling indeed! We did puja and broke our fast around 9.30 pm !

Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup
Hooray for easy soups! This is the type of recipe that saves the day. Very few ingredients, fast, and really delicious. Not to mention the fact that it's super healthy and ripe for fun, customized toppings. Tuck this recipe for Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup into your bookmarks, because I promise it will become one of your regulars.
"So, what's this about custom toppings," you say? Well… You can go creamy with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream, spicy with a few red pepper flakes or sriracha, crunchy with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or croutons, or fresh with a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. Or hey, DO THEM ALL. I won't judge.
Don't have canned pumpkin? About a cup and a half of mashed sweet potato or butternut squash would probably be pretty tasty in this soup, too. Just make sure they're really soft and well mashed so there is no stringiness in the final soup. Oh, and speaking of that, you can take an immersion blender to the finished soup for a super silky finish, if you'd like. Me? I prefer to have a little texture.
Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup
Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup
- 1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.12)
- 1 yellow onion ($0.31)
- 2 cloves garlic ($0.16)
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger ($0.10)
- 15 oz. can pumpkin purée ($2.00)
- 1 cup dry red lentils ($1.34)
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth* ($0.78)
- 1 Tbsp curry powder (or to taste) ($0.30)
- Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger (use a small hole cheese grater). Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a large pot with the olive oil over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent.
- Add the pumpkin purée, red lentils, broth, and curry powder. Stir to combine.
- Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow it to come to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down and simmer on low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes the lentils should be soft and the soup slightly thickened.
- Taste to adjust the curry powder or salt as needed, then serve.
Nutritional values are estimates only. See our full nutrition disclosure here.
Step by Step Photos
Dice one yellow onion, mince two cloves of garlic, and grate about 1 inch or 1 Tbsp worth of fresh ginger (I use a small-holed cheese grater). Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger with 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent. (More info about cooking with ginger here.)
Add one 15oz. can of pumpkin purée. Make sure you get plain pumpkin purée (aka "solid pack pumpkin") and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
Add one cup dry red lentils. I used red lentils for this soup not only because of their color, but because they break down quickly and thicken the soup, sort of like split peas. Green and brown lentils tend to stay whole and take a little longer to cook than red lentils.
Okay, so far we have sautéed onion, garlic, and ginger, plus pumpkin and red lentils…
Finally, add 6 cups of vegetable (or chicken) broth and about 1 Tbsp curry powder. Curry powder varies quite a bit from brand to brand, so you'll have to taste and adjust with this one. I suggest starting with 1 Tbsp and moving up from there. You can use either hot or mild curry powder. If you have mild curry powder, but want the soup spicy, you can simply add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.
Stir the soup to make sure everything is mixed and the canned pumpkin is dissolved into the broth. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and let it come to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally (lid on).
After 20 minutes, the lentils should be soft and broken down. Taste the soup and adjust the curry powder or salt to your liking.
And then go wild with the toppings! Or just serve it with some crusty bread to dip into all that goodness.
Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup – It really is that easy.

In nature, different materials biodegrade at different rates. If you throw your apple core into the bushes along with a steel toy car, your apple core will have disappeared in a few months and your toy car will be rusty but still recognisable. It may take many years before the toy car disappears entirely.
To be able to work effectively, most microorganisms that assist the biodegradation need light, water and oxygen. Temperature is also an important factor in determining the rate of biodegradation. This is because microorganisms tend to reproduce faster in warmer conditions.
Many products that are biodegradable in soil – such as tree trimmings, food wastes and paper – will not biodegrade when we place them in landfills, because the artificial landfill environment lacks the light, water and bacterial activity required for the decay process to begin.
The Garbage Project is a study of waste conducted by a group at the University of Arizona, USA. The project has unearthed from landfill hot dogs, corn cobs and grapes that were 25 years old and still recognisable, as well as newspapers dating back to 1952 that were still easily readable!
How fast do things biodegrade?
This table shows how long some common items will take to break down if left in the environment.

How do we measure biodegradability?
Plastic bags have only been around for about 50 years, so how do the scientists know how long they take to degrade?
To make long-term estimates, scientists often use respirometry tests. The experimenters place a solid waste sample – like a newspaper, banana peel or plastic bag – in a container with microorganisms and soil, and then they aerate the mixture. Over the course of several days, microorganisms digest the sample bit by bit and produce carbon dioxide – the resulting amount of CO2 serves as an indicator of degradation.
Nature of science
Sometimes scientists use estimates to give data on biodegradability. These are usually based on known quantities and extrapolated to take account of time or other environmental factors.
Respirometry tests work well for newspapers and banana peels, but when scientists test plastic bags, nothing happens – there's no CO2 production and no decomposition. Why? The most common type of plastic shopping bag – the kind you get at supermarkets – is made of polyethylene, a man-made polymer that microorganisms don't recognise as food. So, if there is no CO2 production for plastic in respirometry tests, where does the 500-year estimate come from? Although polyethylene bags don't biodegrade, they do photodegrade. When exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, polyethylene's polymer chains become brittle and start to crack. This suggests that plastic bags will eventually fragment into microscopic granules. As of yet, however, scientists aren't sure how many centuries it takes for the sun to work its magic. That's why some people give a 500 year estimate, while others prefer a more conservative 1000 year lifespan. According to some plastics experts, all these figures are just another way of saying 'a really, really long time'.
