A person's everyday experience is a complex web of sensual, judgmental, and compositional threads. This complication applies to a person using a product or service as well. Therefore, the experience of using a smartphone or a internet portal service can be approached with those same three perspectives. While understanding present experience is important in order to provide a real experience through a product or service, it is even more important to consider a more strategic approach, especially the understanding of the inevitable influences of the environment to people's experiences such as socio-cultural, economic, and technical environments. Additionally, a counter approach of analyzing how human experience influences the environment is also necessary. Real experience can be achieved only when environments and experience harmonize. Firms that produce products or services based on this real experience can acquire the possibility to secure strategic competitiveness. So what are the specific environmental elements that influence human experience while using products and services? On the other hand, how does human experience affect its environment? In addition, what is the relationship between the balance of experience and a successful products or services?
Here, Confucius claims that the Superior Man keeps his balance and does not sway to one side while maintaining the tension of balance between various elements in life. Whether issues grand or miniscule, the Superior Man always maintains balance because he is sturdy in his fundamentals and has taken this principle to heart.
Tuning with the World's Frequency
Breakfast meetings are quite common in Korea. Usually, a breakfast meeting will start at seven in the morning and will last for around two hours. Then, a light breakfast is served and participants socialize afterwards. Perhaps this distinctive culture arose as a desperate measure to try to meet everyone's schedules while trying to avoid official working hours.
There were special breakfast meetings I attended for about five years. The meetings were held at the headquarters of Samsung Electronics. Participants included representative of the Samsung Group, executives, the members of an advisory committee on future technology, opinion leaders who were invited from universities and research institutes, and other key people at Samsung. At the meetings an expert in a certain field gave a lecture about its developments, which was then followed byan open debate among the attendees.
One of the things I learned at these meetings was what I call "tuning to the world's frequency." We were able to learn new things by developing diverse perspectives and getting in tune with each other through the experts' stories and debates.
One day, a lecture on the economic ripple effects of a large-scale canal project in Korea, which was hotly debated at the time, and a possible water shortage in Korea was given. One of the experts, who was seriously concerned about a possible water shortage, explained the reasons why a premium global brand like Perrier was more expensive than Samdasu, a local brand. He said that Perriers water sources were of higher quality than those of Samdasu and therefore the water they produced was more expensive.
At another meeting, flexible displays, a technology that was very new during that time in the late 2000's, were presented. We learned that the degrees of permeability and integration played a very important role in technological advancement. We took turns touching and bending a flexible display prototype while discussing potentials of how flexible display products could dramatically change our daily lives.
At yet another meeting, a very interesting discussion on socio-cultural topics took place. One professor discussed his researches on "mega trends" and gave examples of what consumers will demand and desire in the near future. His claim was that consumers integrate their self identities with the products they purchase. He had conducted a research on consumers who had bought "knock off" products, or fake products. When asked what they would do if they earned a lot of money, a majority of consumers answered that they would "purchase the real product of the knock off." His research provides an insightful aspect, that firms do not heavily engage in the crackdown of knock off manufacturers because, after all, the knock offs can act as a powerful marketing tool for leading consumers to purchase the real products.
These examples above reveal the sensitive approach of Samsung Electronics when it comes to changes in economic, technological, and socio-cultural environments. Those free discussions among decision makers in the company and with academics might have paved the way for the creation of innovative products such as the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note series. Perhaps their spell of success was their insight into how future environments would change combined with analysis of the effects of their former successful products and services on the environment.
What Does Confucius Say About Experience?
The Doctrine of the Mean possesses concise yet logical oriental philosophy. Former Tokyo University professor Shizuka Shirakawa, a renowned scholar of the research of Confucianism who recently passed away, praised The Doctrine of the Mean as a realist doctrine that provides a clear path for our existence and experience of being (Shizuka 2003).
The Mean refers to the state of fundamental and absolute balance of the environment that surrounds humans. On the other hand, Harmony refers to the balance of a person's heart based on the elements of the mean. While the mean always exists in the natural environment, Harmony can only be achieved through the specific experiences that we, as humans, go through and how we feel about them. Once the mean and a person's Harmony meet, then a perfect balance is achieved between the human and his/her environment.
By applying the concept of mean and harmony to the three threads of experience (sensual, judgmental, and compositional threads), the mean refers to the three threads of experience before reflecting on human experience. When human experience is reflected in the threads, a person attempts to organize the three threads of experience into a harmonious state. Of course, not all experiences achieve harmony. A state of harmony for a specific experience is achieved only when the level of sensual, judgmental, and compositional threads achieve a balance based on their relative positions.
One of the points that The Doctrine of the Mean emphasizes is the point of balance among the threads of experience. Let's look at another passage from The Doctrine on the balance of experience. One day, Confucius was having a conversation with his disciple Zilu about what strength is. Confucius answered him like this: Do you mean the strength of the South, the strength of the North, or the strength of selfmastery?
To be broadminded and gentle in teaching and not rashly punish wrong-doing is the strength of the South. The Superior Man abides in this. To be able to make a bed of weapons and armor and die without grief—this is the strength of the North. The forceful are at home in this. Therefore the Superior Man is harmonious without getting sloppy. He stands in the center without leaning to either side. How correct his strength is!
Here, Confucius claims that the Superior Man keeps his balance and does not sway to one side while maintaining the tension of balance between various elements in life. Whether issues grand or miniscule, the Superior Man always maintains balance because he is sturdy in his fundamentals and has taken this principle to heart.
Human experience can also be explained from the perspective of the balance of the Superior Man. The three threads of experience are in danger of being emphasized too much individually. The compositional thread, which emphasizes the relational aspect of experience, could easily be in danger of constant changes towards increasing connections between people and things The sensual thread has the possibility of creating powerful stimulations that lead to addictions due to its volatile reactions. The judgmental thread, by itself, will promote endless automation and externalized logic that ends up becoming a system for the system itself rather than a human-centered system. When human fundamentals are excluded, even a product built to provide users with a really great experience can degenerate into a piece of machinery. Therefore, "real experience" can be created only when a tense balance between the elements of experience can be achieved.
The Balance of Experience as a Three-Dimensional Model
We need to take a more integrated approach to achieve a balance between the three threads of experience. In order to look at the relationships between the threads, their external environments, and their specific experiences, the three threads need to be seen in a single integrated frame. Therefore, I want to present a three dimensional model of experience that can help explain the integrated threads of experience.
The model is divided into three axes. The y-axis indicates the sensual thread and expresses how high or low the sense of presence is in an experience. The higher the value of the y-axis, perception of sense of presence is increased due to external stimulants. On the other hand, a lower value indicates a relatively lesser degree of a sense of presence. The z-axis, or the judgmental thread, describes whether the evaluation of an experience results through internal or external locus of causality. The higher the value, the more external the value and control of human experience; the lower the value, the more internal the value and control of experience. Lastly, the x-axis refers to the compositional thread of experience. The more the value of the x-axis shifts to the right, the more cohesive a relationship is, whereas a shift to the left reveals a lesser degree of cohesiveness.
There are a number of merits in expressing our experiences of using a product or service as a point in the three dimensional space as shown in image below. Firstly, experience does not exist as three different parts based on the three threads but rather exists as a single integrated point. The three dimensions must combine as a single point in order to fully and properly express the holistic nature of experience. Secondly, the three dimensional space provides a simple way of describing human experience in using a specific product or service. Figure 3.2 shows the results of a survey on the executives of LG Electronics, a Korean electronics company. They were asked what kind of experiences consumers who had bought UHD (ultrahigh definition) TVs from LG would go through. In terms of the sensual thread of experience, the results indicated that users would feel a high degree of sense of presence due to the quick reflection of a minute screen for setting changes and high resolution that would make them think the characters in the TV were almost real. As for the judgmental thread, the popular opinion was that users would feel a slight internal locus of causality for their experiences since the content of what they enjoy watching on the TV screens such as dramas and sports cannot be controlled. In the perspective of the compositional thread of experience, both the lack of connections between TVs and the use of a TV to communicate with other people would lead to users feeling a relatively low level of cohesiveness.
Figure 3.2 also shows the results of a survey on the employees of a portal site (NAVER) on what they think people's experiences would be while using their mobile internet messenger (MIM) In terms of the sensual thread of experience, the limited screen size and difficulty in interacting on that small screen would seem to lead to a fairly low degree of a sense of presence. They also think that the distinctive user interface of the messenger would provide a greater degree of a sense of presence compared to competitors' mobile messengers. In the perspective of the judgmental thread of experience, the enjoyment users feel while exchanging messages with other users and the direct interaction they conduct to send a message was expected to stem from internal locus of causality. The employees said that mobile messengers provide a means to communicate with other users and enable intimate interaction between close people. Therefore, the level of cohesiveness that the compositional
thread of experience provides would be very high.
thread of experience provides would be very high.
The two examples of the UHD TV and the internet messenger reveal that a three dimensional representation helps in expressing what an experience entails. In both cases, the executives, in the UHD example, and the employees, in the MIM example, were briefed about each dimension before they were asked to express their opinions on the product or service within the three dimensional model. Participants did not have much difficulty understanding the concept of the dimensions while they filled in their survey. Almost none of the 40 executives of the electronics firm and the 300 employees of the internet portal company that were surveyed held differing views regarding its product or service. This is how easy it is to create a three dimensional model of a human experience of a product or a service.
Finally, a three dimensional model provides the advantage of an easy and quick method for gathering opinions within a company regarding how to provide a better experience to users. By understanding the position of the current experience and the direction a future experience should shift towards, a point for the future experience can be created. In other words, the three dimensional model can be used as a tool for deciding the strategic goals of a user's next great experience.

The Mean and Harmony in the Three Dimensional Model of Experience
The Doctrine of the Mean is often misunderstood as a guideline towards a middle point that is neither too much nor too little. If this was true, the origin of the three dimensional model of experience should provide the best experience. However, the origin of the model is not a real experience that people can perceive. A sense of presence is neither high nor low, the locus of causality is neither internal nor external, and cohesiveness is neither strong nor weak. Basically, the origin of the graph is like food that doesn't taste like anything at all. In fact, the Doctrine of the Mean emphasizes harmony that enables an optimal balance of emotions in the human heart. When applied to products and services, harmony refers to a point that maintains and tunes itself based on the relative balance between the three threads of experience. Every product or service possesses differing degrees of experience, but harmony is achieved only when the three threads of experience meet at a single point of optimal balance.
Let's think about a middle schooler who enjoys playing the video game League of Legends. He experiences enjoyment through the desire to control every aspect of what is controllable. Therefore, its judgmental experience expresses an internal locus of causality. Also, a realistic expression of monsters and other players can provide a high degree of sensual experience. Furthermore, a stronger perception of cohesiveness with other players can provide a more harmonious compositional experience. By expressing the experience of playing League of Legend onto the three dimensional space, the point of balance will probably be somewhere on the upper left quadrant. However, if the game is neither realistic nor unrealistic, the locus of causality is neither internal nor external, and cohesiveness is neither high nor low, the gamer's experience will end up being bland.

French manager, Paul Le Guen according to several reports is set to be named coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been without a permanent coach since Sunday Oliseh resigned in February, 2016.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) since then made it clear that they were looking for only foreign coaches for the Super Eagles and have already held talks with Le Guen according to several reports.
Although Serbian coaches Alexandra Rogic and Goran Stepanovic emerged as leading contenders for the job, the NFF has decided to hire Le Guen.
NFF President, Amaju Pinnick held talks with the former Lyon manager months ago and had an agreement for a (N16.2M) €44,000 per month deal.
NFF president, Amaju Pinnick is keen to get a coach for the Super Eagles ahead of qualification for 2018 FIFA World Cup (Time out with Tee A)
The 52-year-old's main target would be to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 World in Russia.
For the qualification series, Nigeria has been placed in the same group as Cameroun, Algeria and Zambia.
Le Guen qualified Cameroon for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where they crashed out in the first round and the NFF thinks he is the right man to lead the Super Eagles.
The manager's last job was with the Oman national team from which he was relieved in November 2015.
He had a successful managerial career in France, most notably leading Olympique Lyonnais to three consecutive Ligue 1 titles. He has also managed Stade Rennais, Paris Saint-Germain, Glasgow Rangers.
Current temporary coach of the Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf, will remain as a second assistant to Le Guen when hired.

DIY Wall Art
Hey guys! It's Monday and for today's post I will be showing you guys 3 simple ways to frame things. They are all super easy and affordable. This is going to be a bit of a long post because I am showing you how to do three instead of one. So you can pick one you like the best. So without any further adieu...Let's get started!
Number 1:Step 1:
Gather your supplies:
You will need a frame and a picture of the same size. The tip I want to give you is to take it from an old calendar maybe from 2016! But that is what I did and I loved how it turned out!
Step 2:
Place your large picture in the frame.
I would suggest taping the edges so that they stay down and look neat.
And your done for the first wall art!!
Number 2:
Step 1:
Gather your supplies:
You will need a long frame. And 6 smaller pictures. And also like the last one I took these from my other 2016 calendar.
Step 2:
Take out the glass and the backboard. Place your pictures in order then place the glass over it. I wanted mine to look like a collage.
Step 3:
Then place it back in the frame and place it on your wall. Now you have a DIY masterpiece!!
Number 3:Step 1:
Gather your supplies:
Paint, paint brush, frame, sticky notes, marker and tape.
To start off if you don't like the color of your frame I would suggest painting it like I did. I chose this pretty blue and painted it then let it dry.
Step 2:
Take you sticky notes (because they were the perfect size for this frame) and draw on a design of your choice. I went with a heart. Then open your frame and place it in. The sticky part of the notes wasn't very stick so I added some tape to help.
Step 3:
And there you have a cute DIY frame that looks completely new!!
And those are all of the DIY's I had for you guys! I hope you try at least one of these out and if you do let me know in the comments down below! Also if you have any requests of future posts you want me to do then let me know in the comments. Have great day and I'll see you on Monday! -BloggerGirl

Tumblogging With WordPress: Themes, Post Formats, and More!
Tumblogging is gaining popularity nowadays and services such as Tumblr have provided users with an easy to use platform for sharing content in a simple and speedy manner. However, when it comes to tumblogs, even WordPress can be a great choice. In this article, we will take a look at the effectiveness of WP as a tumblogging platform.
Simply put, tumblogging refers to sharing short and precise posts on one's blog, generally in the form of multimedia content such as photos and videos. If you wish to blog, but do not have the time or energy to write long posts, tumblogging might be right for you! Furthermore, if you are looking to create a personal blog to share random content that you come across, a tumblog is a good choice. After all, you wouldn't want to share the odd quote that you read in today's newspaper on your company's website, would you?
Beyond that, there is not much of a rigid rule to define tumblogs. Most tumblogs at Tumblr do not have a sidebar, though tumblogs created using WordPress generally have a sidebar nowadays. The only "visible" feature is that all tumblogs distinguish between different "types" or formats of posts: audio, video, chat, quote, image, and so on.
Is WordPress A Good Choice For Tumblogs?
TL;DR: Yes.
We know that the 3.x family of WordPress offers support for custom post formats and types. Naturally, with post formats such as audio, video, gallery and quote, it becomes very easy to create a tumblog using WordPress.
When the first draft of the Twenty Thirteen theme came out, it became clear that the new flagship theme (likely to come bundled with WordPress 3.6 next month) is yet another step towards making WordPress better suited for tumblogs. While it is true that most default WP themes have had support for post formats, Twenty Thirteen is the first in its family that eliminates the default homepage sidebar and relies primarily on post formats for displaying the content. Thus, the WordPress development team is not oblivious to the rising popularity of tumblogging.
Using Post Formats in WP For A Tumblog
Here is how the WordPress Codex describes a post format:
A Post Format is a piece of meta information that can be used by a theme to customize its presentation of a post.
Basically, a post format is what makes your WordPress blog look like a tumblog. WordPress supports various formats, namely, Aside, Gallery, Link, Image, Quote, Status, Video, Audio and Chat.
Adding a post format for a post is fairly easy: just select one from the Editor itself, and you're done!
Furthermore, WordPress 3.6 will come with even better support for post formats. You can discover the details here.
How About Themes?
A discussion about WordPress is rarely complete without a mention of themes, is it? WPMU has a handy roundup of some of the best tumblogging themes for WP users (oh yes, all free ones!).
That said, just in case you need some more, how about ten more free themes that were not included in the previous roundup?
1. Tetris
Released by WP Explorer, Tetris is a tumblogging WP theme featuring a masonry style homepage. You will need a couple of additional plugins to use this theme, though: Options Framework and Soliloquy. The theme supports seven post formats, has a homepage slider, offers social media icons and is responsive. You will need a free account at WP Explorer in order to download the theme.
2. Hum
Hum is a child theme of Twenty Eleven. Naturally, it inherits features such as support for post formats, custom background, custom logo, etc. from its parent theme.
3. Satu
Satu is a single column tumblogging WordPress theme with support for eight post formats. It is responsive, localization ready and offers support for breadcrumbs. Oh, and it is also based on the Hybrid Core framework.
4. Stitch
Stitch is a colorful WordPress theme. It is responsive and supports multiple post formats. While I will surely not call Stitch minimal, its colorful appearance might indeed appeal to many users. Furthermore, Stitch does not present itself as a tumbloggers' theme. However, a fixed sidebar and main focus on content, amplified by support for post types and formats clearly makes Stitch a worthy tumblogging theme.

5. Shortnotes
Shortnotes is a responsive tumblogging theme released by Site5. It is localization ready, offers built-in pagination and also supports Google Fonts. The theme is indeed gorgeous, and I would've used it for my own tumblog as well, but when it comes to working out of the box, Shortnotes does not perform really well. In fact, in order to "properly" display a video, you will need to use the custom fields box provided by the theme (if you opt for the standard "drop-link-and-watch-it-work" procedure, your videos will appear out of place).
6. Publish
Publish is a clean and minimal theme that works entirely out of the box. It supports post formats and can, thus, be used for tumblogging as well.
7. TumblePress
TumblePress is a responsive theme with support for multiple post formats. It comes with many custom widgets, custom author box as well as custom shortcodes. The theme is localization ready and also offers custom page templates for contact form and sitemap.
8. Ubert
Ubert supports multiple post formats, and also comes with its own audio player to help you share your favorite tracks on your tumblog.
9. Quade
Just like Ubert, Quade also supports multiple post formats. In fact, both Quade and Ubert have almost the same amount of functionality (both come from the same stable too).
10. Garuda Di Dadaku
Garuda Di Dadaku (yeah, unique name, isn't it?) is a child theme of Twenty Ten. It is not much of a tumblogging theme, though — it has widget areas in the footer, and features too huge a header. However, Garuda Di Dadaku inherits support for post formats from Twenty Ten and as a result, you can use it for your tumblog as well.
Special Case: WooTumblog Plugin
For quite some time, WooTumblog plugin has served as a popular solution to help you create a tumblog using WordPress. Even to this day, there are certain themes that rely on WooTumblog plugin, such as Casual by Obox Design.
Once activated, you get a separate menu under Posts–>Tumblog Options. You can specify width for image and video previews as well as employ custom RSS feeds. Beyond that, you can easily decide whether to rely on taxonomy for creating a tumblog or post formats.
However, as far as I can tell, the latest versions of WordPress come with native support for post formats and WooTumblog, as a plugin, has lost its utility. While the update frequency is still decent and comparatively better than many other plugins out there, and the functionality of WooTumblog too cannot be doubted, its requirement level has decreased significantly.
Once you have a theme and layout ready for your website, you can easily make use of post formats in WordPress to create a tumblog, without having the need to install WooTumblog plugin. However, WooTumblog plugin can come in handy if you are using a theme that does not offer native support for post formats.
Apart from WooTumblog, there are many other plugins that can help you link your WordPress blog with Tumblr, or model your WP site along the lines of a tumblog. Sarah Gooding has a collection of such plugins here.
Creating a tumblog using WordPress is fairly easy, as all you need is a proper theme that supports post formats (almost every theme released by Automattic or core devs behind WordPress supports post formats).
Are you using WordPress to power your tumblog? Share your experiences with us in the comments below!

Common law marriage is not recognized in California. There is no community property or spousal support for parties that have lived together and were never married.
However, courts will recognize valid non-marital relationship contracts. Contract law applies to any of the property, real or personal, that the parties acquire during the time they lived together. These are referred to as a Marvin action or Marvin claim. Marvin v. Marvin (1976) 18 Cal.3d 660.
Since these cases deal with contract law rather than family law, they should be filed in civil court rather than in family court.
In evaluating any Marvin claim, proof of names on title to property, accounts, wills, trusts, etc. are critical in establishing the claim.
If you have a child with your partner, then the appropriate action is to file a request for child support with the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) and/or file a Petition for Paternity/Parentage to establish custody and visitation orders.

Bill Cope, Founder and President, Publishes New Book on Literacy Learning and Teaching
Common Ground Publishing
CGP Founder and President Bill Cope has published a new book on contemporary literacy learning and teaching with his longtime research partner, Mary Kalantzis, who serves as Dean of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Education.
Literacies (Cambridge UP, 2011) develops and extends the multiliteracies theory and practice for which Drs. Cope and Kalantzis have long been known. The book supplements traditional ideas of literacy in the singular—learning to read and write—by expanding the area of focus to cover 'literacies' in a broad sense (across cultures, subjects, and contexts) and in the plural, including the contemporary communications environments of the new media, the navigation of complex and diverse social spaces, and the updated pedagogies of literacy within their historical, educational contexts.
This latest work, when combined with Drs.

Once you have discovered the perfect first home for your family or the perfect fixer-upper for your retirement project, it's time to negotiate so that the price is equally perfect! Negotiating a home price can be complicated, but with a few tips and a little preparation, you will be able to get the right price for the right home.
Is it a Buyer's Market?
If you are purchasing your home in a buyer's market, you have the power! A buyer's market exists when there are more available homes on the market than buyers looking to purchase. Because buyers are scarce, homeowners who need to move will be much more likely to budge on price and make big concessions just to sell the home. Negotiating in this time isn't very difficult because you will be able to get most of the things that you want. Make your initial offer a minimum of 10% underneath the price you want to pay for the home, in addition to asking the seller to cover closing costs. While you might not get everything you want, chances are you will get a true negotiation instead of a flat out no. Make sure not to go too low if you don't want to risk walking away from the home.
Is it a Seller's Market?
A buyer's market is an easy time for negotiation on your end and a seller's market is an easy time for negotiation on their end. You have much less leverage due to the availability of qualified home buyers who also might be interested in the house. Make an offer that doesn't come with many contingencies or demands and stick close to the asking price. Beyond negotiation, make sure to make your offer very quickly so that the home doesn't get snatched up before you can even make an offer.
Is it a Balanced Market?
A balanced market can be great for negotiation on both ends of the table. As a result, the negotiation phase can take much longer than in a buyer's or seller's market. There is not the sense of urgency that there is during either, so you can take your time when making your offer and contingencies. Start by offering slightly less than the asking price and whatever terms you think are appropriate, but be prepared to meet halfway.

Merrick Thanksgiving Dinner for your Dog from #Chewy
Chewy.com sent us some to sample, and Kelly and Ike really loved it. Ingredients include turkey, sweet potato, carrots, apples, green beans, and peas. It's grain free, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. And everything about it says Turkey Day!
It's a fun way to share this special day with your special friend. Check it out on Chewy.com.
Also, join the #ChewyChat twitter chat on December 8th at 2pm ET hosted by Golden Woofs and Oz the Terrier.
Ike and Kelly are Chewy Influencers and Chewy customers. To be honest, we never thought about having our dog food delivered to our home before we connected with Chewy.com. I mean, it didn't seem all that inconvenient to stop at the pet food store. But then, when we found out that Chewy.com can deliver the food we use right to our doorstep, within just a couple of days after ordering, and all for the same price or less than the pet food store, I started thinking about what else I could do with all that time saved from going to the store! Plus, no more lugging heavy bags around...just from the front door to my pantry!
Join the blog hop!
FULL DISCLOSURE: We were provided with one case (24) of 5.5 oz cans of Merrick Thanksgiving Dinner dog food in exchange for our honest review. This in no way influenced my opinion. Opinions expressed here are 100% my own.

Police hunting a possible serial killer targetting prostitutes in England have found another two bodies, bringing the number of grim discoveries to five. They are working on the assumption that the last two corpses are the remains of two street walkers who have not been seen for a few days. They say there are striking similarities between all the cases.
Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull said:
"Because of the further discovery of two more bodies close to where Anneli Alderton was found, we can only fear the worst. The natural assumption is these are the two missing women, Annette Nicholls, aged 29 years and Paula Clennell, aged 24. That's an assumption. You'll understand that it's yet to be confirmed."
Paula Clennell had been missing since Saturday and Annette Nicholls for at least a week.
Anneli Alderton was found strangled, in woodland near Ipswich on Sunday.
Investigators have linked the first discoveries of Gemma Adams and Tania Nicol, whose bodies were found a few miles away, in the same stream.
Panic has spread through sex workers in Ipswich, who believe the killer may have been a client.
One sex worker who does not want to be identified said: "Some of them are petrified of coming out to work. He has obviously thought about what he is doing and he must be local because he knows the area far too well."
Police are appealing for information from other prostitutes, who they believe hold the key to the identity of another possible "Jack the Ripper".

History: Present in Okinawan and other Asian weapon arsenals, the sai (pronged truncheon) was used to stab, block, trap and punch. Practitioners often carried a sai in each hand, and a "spare"' at the belt. The weapon could also be thrown.
Traditional use: The sai is believed to have originated with the pitchfork. As a weapon, it was used in conjunction with various karate stances and techniques, and in defense against sword attacks.
Current use: With dulled points, the sai is now a karate training weapon. It tests accuracy in striking and quick block-and-counter techniques.

Once upon a time, in a faraway place called Texas, a long-time aspiring writer and English grad despaired at last of creating the great American novel. Or any other kind of novel, really. See, although she was really, really good at placing commas, her underplotted, overboiled Russian-tragedy-esque post-modern desconstructed bits of verbiage just weren't working out the way she'd hoped. And who could blame them.
So, desperate for inspiration, she consulted a mystic in a deep cavern by the sea (er, downstairs, doing the dishes).
"It has to be about what you love," the wise man said, slathering on some warm liquid soap and swirling it all over with a sponge. Way his hands were working caught her attention and held it. She licked her lips. Something dawned her on her right then, and it stuck in her mind like sand in a bikini.
Something she loved? Well, that was easy. Our girl loved the hot sex.
So she scuttled into the bedroom (where else?), flicked open her computer, drowned her ears in slinky music, and wrote the most scorching smut she could imagine. And she could imagine plenty.
Finally, too red-faced to read it herself, she e-mailed it to the wise man. After that, he did the dishes quite frequently.
And thus was a Smutstress born.
That she is me. I'm Viv, and I'm really happy you stopped by.

After realizing that I cannot have grains during Phase 3 lunches, I had to change my strategy. Imagine I lost 9 lbs. by committing this mistake the last time on this diet, can I lose more now? It doesn't seem like it as the scale isn't being very friendly to me. More on that later. If there are no grains then I think it has to be either a soup or a salad. It has to be something that I can take to work, as phase 3 falls on Mon-Wed for me. A grilled chicken salad seemed like a good option, but now I wasn't sure how I could add fats. I finally settled on a Chicken Waldorf salad. That requires mayo. The only mayo allowed on the diet is safflower mayo and I couldn't find any that didn't have sugar in it. So Haylie provided a recipe for homemade mayo. Read more about this mayo on this blog post. This salad turned out to be pretty tasty but the husband found it a bit bland. But that's because he likes spices and these don't have any. He told me that he added some hot sauce over it and he loved it after that. That made me almost puke but hey, whatever floats your boat honey. You can use shredded whole chicken for this recipe, but I used poached chicken breasts. Here is my link to perfectly cooked chicken breasts. This salad can be kept refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.
Serves 4.
2 chicken breasts, cooked (grilled or poached)
1 apple, chopped into cubes
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 green onions (scallions), finely chopped, mostly green parts (optional)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped dill (optional)
1/3 cup canola mayonnaise (such as Spectrum organic)
5 or 6 pcs. of walnuts or almonds chopped to bits
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoon turkey bacon bits (optional)
Combine all ingredients except mayonnaise and toss. Then add the mayonnaise and gently combine. Chill 30 minutes. Serve over bed of greens. I used a spring mix and some arugula.

Celebrated in song and shrouded in legend – the Loreley rock is a 194-metre-high slate cliff towering above the narrowest point of the Rhine near St. Goarshausen.
It became famous for the tale of Loreley, a beautiful but melancholy siren who would sit on the rock and sing as she combed her golden hair. Her beauty and beguiling song distracted passing sailors from the strong currents and their ships smashed to pieces against the rocks. Today, the Loreley is a magnet for tourists from all over the world. In the Loreley visitor centre, an interactive exhibition tells you everything you need to know about the region. The Upper Middle Rhine Valley became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002.

Alnylam Acquires Merck's RNAi Assets and Gets a $700M Investment from Genzyme
8 comments:
Congratulations Dirk. You've been spot-on in the anticipation of this... can we call it a paradigm shift?
BTW, I can never prove I'm not a robot. I can't read those crooked letters for shit.
- January 13, 2014 at 3:17 AM
Well done Dirk. You've been calm, collected and reasoned the whole way on picking this.
Enjoy the ride ahead on RNAi, you deserve it.
Well done to JM too. He stood firmly and was outspoken for ALNY, and RNAi, when Big Pharma CEO's turned their unwashed backs on RNAi for reasons that never result in greatness or advancement of human-kind.
Saving the best for last, well done tufulipo on cracking the crooked letter code.
- January 13, 2014 at 4:05 AM
What does this mean for Benitec?
A ALNY buyout for stock at $150m most likely.
Reminds me of the Cisco days.
- January 13, 2014 at 9:28 AM
Benitec is due to present at a Biotech Showcase on Friday according to a press release of theirs.
Strange they are not at the J.P. Morgan conference and find it necessary to ride their coat tails by holding a separate conference to sell their wares in the same city at the same time.
If some kind of cross licensing deal is done then Dirk, you will have to eat some humble pie.
Doubly strange is the time they are presenting is the same time as Regulus give or take thirty minutes.
I wonder if they are in the same room.
- January 14, 2014 at 3:31 PM
is this seriously a comment? the biotech showcase has been a paralell conference to JPM for the last 6 years - there are many, many crossover attendees between the two. i suggest that the last poster educate themselves a bit.
- January 14, 2014 at 9:10 PM
Regulus developing a one shot cure for HCV according to the JPM presentation.
Is Benitec RGLS with a mask on?
- January 16, 2014 at 1:58 PM
Differences on Benitec strategy aside, thanks for the great blog Dirk and the opportunity to all its insight. If Benitec prove you wrong I will afford to buy you a good bottle of Aussie red for your efforts on the blog.
- February 10, 2014 at 5:19 AM
Twelve months on, MRK go and put $100m in to Moderna for rights and equity.
mRNA clearly the new greenfields of RNAi.
Meanwhile, the short interest in RGLS has increased 25%.
Where is PFE in this space? Any opinion Dirk?
Perhaps the increase in short interest is the PFE fingerprint.

BUENOS AIRES — When the Argentine oil company YPF announced two years ago that it had discovered some of the world's largest reserves of shale gas and oil on a barren plain in Patagonia, many began looking to the energy industry as the answer to Argentina's financial woes.
The country's growing dependence on foreign fuel has been a main driver of economic instability. Oil and gas imports have drained currency reserves, and large energy subsidies have contributed to a soaring inflation rate.
According to a U.S. Energy Department report touted by officials and energy analysts, tapping the hydrocarbons buried deep in the so-called Vaca Muerta formation in Patagonia could reverse Argentina's steady decline in oil and gas production, meeting domestic demand and providing enough for export.
But Argentina's path to becoming a world energy power is far from clear.
More than a decade after its default on nearly $100 billion in debt in 2002 after a prolonged recession, Argentina is still considered a risky investment. That fact was highlighted this week when President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner suggested that she would defy a U.S. appeals court's order to pay more than $1.3 billion to a small group of bond investors who refused to swap out defaulted securities for new, discounted ones, and instead have sued for the original face value.

Whether spending weekends at beaches along the Gulf or visiting Florida's majestic springs, water has always been central to my life.
I'm disheartened that the American Farm Bureau Federation and its allies in Congress don't share the same appreciation for it.
Sen. Marco Rubio recently co-sponsored a resolution backed by corporate agribusiness to invalidate EPA's new Clean Water Rule, which restores protections to drinking water sources for nearly 2 million Floridians. I urge Rubio to reconsider siding with polluters, and instead stand up for Florida's most precious natural resource: our water.

MR16 LED Bulbs are one of the most common fitments of lighting used in UK households today. Predominantly used in kitchens or ceiling lighting, these are the type of lights where frequent replacement was required when Halogen bulbs were the lamps of choice.
These days, LEDs are the more popular choice of lighting, and rarely require replacement due to their long lifetime. A lifetime of around 20,000 to 45,000 hours is about standard for almost any type of LED bulb.
Halogens in comparison have a typical lifetime of only around 10% of this figure, which is why so many ceilings were left with blown bulbs for months on end due to the frequent need of replacements.
Therefore using LED bulbs in your ceiling or kitchen display is now the way to go. Not only do they last significantly longer, but they use much less energy too, saving you on your electric bill.
However despite the lower electricity use, they actually produce around the same level of brightness as a halogen bulb. Therefore the days of bright white light only being able to come from a halogen lamp are truly over.
The word 'MR16' refers simply to the fitment type of the bulb. MR16 LEDs are easily identifiable because they have two twin lines of metal protruding from the bulb where the lamp connects to the socket. It looks similar in appearance to a plug for a shaver socket.
MR16 bulbs simply click into place and are one of the easiest type of bulb to replace because of this.

BEELINE'S parent company VimpelCom claimed a 54-percent jump year-over-year in active subscriptions for Cambodia in its first quarter results released yesterday.
The Amsterdam-based telecom firm also reported that revenues soared 73 percent compared to the same period in 2010, while quarter-on-quarter subscriber numbers and revenues increased 16 percent and 11 percent, respectively. However, the firm did not release seperate figure for subscribers or revenues in the Kingdom.
"The development of our business in Cambodia continues to evolve rapidly," VimpelCom said.
"Network quality, effective marketing campaigns and a pro-active approach to distribution helped further improve our market position and substantially improve our cash flow."
Net operating mobile revenues for the Southeast Asia region – which includes Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam – reached US$10 million for the quarter, up 127 percent from the year-ago period. The firm said its Southeast Asian presence was bolstered by recent moves in Laos and Vietnam, including purchasing a majority stake in Millicom Lao Company and increased financing of its Vietnam operations.
Meanwhile, Hello's parent Axiata also reported quarterly earnings this week. The Malaysia-listed company said Hello saw revenue growth from higher prepaid usage and devices sales, according to a company statement on Tuesday.
The Cambodian mobile operator's revenues advanced 6 percent and subscriptions up 19 percent from the fourth quarter 2010.

My Dear ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs JOELLE KET. from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Jerry KET who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2002.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$3.5million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs JOELLE KET

The Entrepreneurial Way to 4% Growth
Share this article
By Carl J. Schramm | Nov. 15, 2016 6:59 p.m. ET | www.wsj.com
This week more than 160 countries are celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week. The Kauffman Foundation, which I once led, created this event eight years ago to encourage other nations to follow the American tradition of bottom-up economic success. Yet this example has been less powerful in recent years, as American entrepreneurship has waned. Fortunately, President-elect Donald Trump has plenty of options if he wants to resurrect America's startup economy.
Consider the economic situation that the president-elect is inheriting. Despite the addition of 161,000 jobs in October, the labor-force participation rate fell to its second lowest level in nearly 40 years, according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve. More people have joined the ranks of the chronically unemployed, slipping into poverty at alarming rates as their skills decay and dependency on public assistance grows. Considering population growth, America needs at least 325,000 new jobs every month to stanch the growing numbers of discouraged workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Merely bringing back factories from overseas will not solve this problem. Technology has made every factory more productive. Fewer workers make more goods no matter where they're located. At the same time, fewer U.S. businesses are being started. New firms are the country's principal generator of new jobs. Data from the Kauffman Foundation suggest companies less than five years old create more than 80% of new jobs every year. While the nation seems more enthusiastic than ever about the promise of entrepreneurship, fewer than 500,000 new businesses were started in 2015. That is a disastrous 30% decline from 2008.

Today on Discovery Enterprise we join our host physicist Dr. Basil Singer in final installment of the exciting documentary series Exodus Earth. Today we join Dr. Singer exploring the possibility of mounting an interstellar voyage to the exoplanet Gliese 581c and establishing a permanent human colony there in the next century.
What kind of propulsion system would be needed to accomplish such a voyage? Basil must investigate extreme propulsion methods, including solar sails and nuclear bombs. And, what can we say about the mission's destination?
Gliese 581c is an extrasolar planet orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581. It is the third planet orbiting this star. With a mass at least 5.36 times that of the Earth, it is classified as a super-Earth, a category which incorporates planets exceeding the mass of Earth but smaller than 10 Earth masses.
Gliese 581c initially generated interest because it was originally reported to be the first potentially Earth-like planet in the habitable zone of its star, with a temperature right for liquid water on its surface, and by extension, potentially capable of supporting extremophile forms of Earth-like life. However, further research on the potential effects of the planetary atmosphere casts doubt upon the habitability of Gliese 581c and indicates that the fourth planet in the system, Gliese 581 d, is a better candidate for habitability and possible colonization.
However this is based on scant observational evidence. One day we may find a more promising contender for our future aspirations. The prospects may vastly improve when the Kepler space telescope completes its survey and with the next generation space based advanced astronomical observatories such as NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder, the James Webb Space Telescope and their successors.

Here's the general rule of thumb. You should pay about 70% of the after repair value (ARV) minus repairs. So, after repairs if you think the house will sell for $100,000.00 and needs $10,000.00 in repairs you should pay $60,000.00.

The largest transaction in this series of asset dispositions was for 61 Hardee's restaurants in the Huntsville/Montgomery, Alabama area for a purchase price of approximately $18 million, with net cash proceeds to the company of approximately $17.4 million. This is the third purchase of Hardee's restaurants made by this franchisee. The companies under control of this franchisee previously purchased 42 other Hardee's restaurants in the Biloxi, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama markets.
In a separate transaction, 12 Carl's Jr. restaurants in the Los Angeles, California market were sold for approximately $11 million, with net sale proceeds to the company of approximately $10.1 million. The buyer of the Los Angeles area restaurants is D.F.G. Restaurants, Inc., a former quick service restaurant operator based in California.
"We are pleased with our continuing progress on our asset sale program and have every confidence that our momentum to accelerate our debt repayment will continue,'' said Andy Puzder, CKE's president and chief executive officer. "We have now sold 323 Hardee's and 43 Carl's Jr. restaurants and, when combined with proceeds generated from the sale of other assets, have raised approximately $118 million of after tax net sale proceeds since the beginning of the refranchising program. We also are pleased with the high caliber of franchisees who have purchased these restaurants and made this commitment to operate Hardee's and Carl's Jr. restaurants.''

A bank account has been created that will allow the Irish public to donate to help complete the documentary 'No Limbs, No Limits,' on Irish limbless teenager Joanne O'Riordan.
An appeal was made in late July, searching for funding for the documentary. Joanne's brother, Steve O'Riordan, said in a press release that he has been inundated with queries about donations, something he wasn't initially expecting, but welcomed.
"I'm absolutely delighted to announce that an Irish company who for now want to remain private have expressed the view that they would like to donate just over €40, 000 to get Joanne's documentary 'No Limbs No Limits' up and running," Steve O'Riordan stated in a press release.
However, despite the generous private donation, funds are still needed to get Joanne O'Riordan's documentary made. Accordingly, a bank account has been set up that will receive donations from anyone willing to contribute.
The general public in Ireland can donate as much as they like to the following bank account/number which is under the name of Steven O' Riordan, Bank of Ireland, Main Street, Millstreet, Co. Cork, Ireland, through the Sort Code: 905803 and Account Number 10686261.
People living outside of Ireland can make donations via the No Limbs No Limits website.
If a company would like to donate and get behind this project and the funding is substantial, they can contact firstname.lastname@example.com. These companies will receive a credit at the end of the documentary as Executive Producer, Producer and or Co- Producer.
As a bit of incentive, if a member of the public donates €50+ they will receive a ticket to the launch of Joanne's documentary launched in early 2013. Please make sure if you are making a donation like this that you include your name and full address to get your ticket.
The team behind the documentary is aiming to raise €100,000 which will help to finish filming, editing, and marketing for Joanne's documentary.
In April, O'Riordan, a native of Cork, was the keynote speaker at a panel on technology at the UN in New York. There, she made an appeal for efforts to be put forth in the creation of a robot she could use to make her life easier.
In a promo for the unfinished documentary, viewers can get a glimpse of the extraordinary way of life that O'Riordan encounters everyday. She is just like any other teen, tinkering with her iPhone, iPad and iPod, and giving her father huff about his "yank" outfit.
Still, O'Riordan has appealed to the UN to help create a robot for her use in order to "make life easier." She has said that "technology is the limb I never had."
"I know I can overcome the challenges, but I need your help," O'Riordan said to the UN panel.
Here, watch the promo for O'Riordan's inspiring new documentary:

| Whatever their relative advantages and disadvantages, explorers of 3-D imaging systems in film, television, and holography, share certain universal principles and pervasive problems of perception. The three authors of this paper are organizing a conference on three-dimensional media technology (3DMT) in Montreal next May. We have invited the major explorers in each of those domains to meet on this common foundation. This convergence of the creators of three-dimensional images should help towards an understanding of the principles and a solving of the problems. We are tempted to open the conference by saying: Since this is a conference on the third dimension, we have decided to invite only three-dimensional speakers, hold it (as you can see) in a three-dimensional room, serve drinks in three-dimensional glasses and food on three-dimensional plates. The point is that the real world, the world we live in, is three dimensional. Once again, look around you - check for yourself - don't take our world for it! We are also tempted to make cheap puns. This conference is an in-depth study of 3-D to put it in perspective. See - we succumbed to the temptation. That's the best way to deal with it.
Since we live in a 3-D world, then we all have to deal with 3-D objects. It is not surprizing then that there are many practical applications of 3-D imaging techniques. People have 3-D bodies (some more so than others). Thus doctors who have to operate on them, fashion designers who have to clothe them can benefit from those techniques which permit 3-D representations of the body. Dentists have to fit 3-D teeth into their 3-D mouths, and plastic surgeons have to create 3-D noses to fit their 3-D faces. Those 3-D people live in 3-D houses in 3-D cities. Thus city planners have to design 3-D cities, architects have to build 3-D buildings, interior designers have to arrange 3-D furnishings, and landscape gardeners 3-D landscapes.
The wide variety of sources in which we have found articles about 3-D imaging techniques - National Geographic, MediaScene, American Journal of Physics, Psychology Today, Discover, Channels, Video Systems, and so on and on - reflects this diversity of practical applications of the techniques of 3-D imaging systems. Whoever first imitates nature by creating an economically viable and psychologically sound 3-D imaging system will reap rewards in many fields within media and beyond.
