Houston-based Plains All American Pipeline said Thursday it plans to build a $900 million crude pipeline from its Cushing, Oklahoma terminal to Valero Energy's Memphis refinery.
The 440 miles long, 20 inch pipeline will transport domestic sweet crude and have a capacity of up to 200,000 barrels per day.
The project, called the Diamond Pipeline, is expected to be completed by late 2016.
Under the deal, San-Antonio based Valero will also grant Plains access to its Collierville pipeline.
The Collierville pipeline is the primary crude supply source for Valero's Memphis refinery and delivers crude from the Capline pipeline. The Collierville pipeline runs across the Tennessee-Mississippi border and has a capacity of 210,000 bpd.
Valero holds an option to buy a 50 percent stake in the Diamond pipeline until Janissary 2016.
Once Diamond is online, Valero can transport crude directly from Cushing to its 195,000 bpd Memphis refinery.
Currently, Valero delivers crude by rail to its terminal in St. James, Louisiana. The company then ships the crude to its Memphis plant by barge.
In a note to investors about the deal, Wells Fargo Securities' senior analyst Roger Read said the Diamond pipeline will most likely lower crude costs and increase the refinery's profit margins by providing a more direct transport route.

Augmented Reality (AR) may still be mainly known by those interested in technology but several high profile campaigns by Tissot, BMW and my personal favorite O'Neill (Hyperfreak surf game, but can't find where they put the game now) have helped move this to the main stream.
A milestone in making AR not just a novelty is the new Layar Vision. Platform, not product, Layar Vision enables almost any graphic element to become the AR Marker. Better still, they have an open API so people are building apps the make it even easier.
Daqri is one of the first we found. As QR codes have now become mainstream, they cleverly use these to direct users to online information and use it as a marker. They let us test out their paid version that has the bells and whistles we wanted for an architecture project. Here it is coming to life from the QR code in my notebook.
if you want to try it yourself, here's the QR code. Just scan it as you would any code. You will be prompted to get the free Daqri viewer and presto!

The 44-year-old actor and his son Jaden Smith recently appeared on Thai TV to promote their movie together, "After Earth," and things got weird.
When host Woody Milintachinda asked if the duo's real life relationship was as "distant" as it was in the movie, Smith decided to prove it isn't ... by kissing his son on the lips!
Jaden squirmed like crazy to get out of the awkward lip-lock, screaming "Oh my god, this is ridiculous!"
To see the kiss fast forward the video to the 5:10 mark.

With the uncertainty that has surrounded us recently, some amazing small business owners have stepped up to help our community in whatever way they can. We want to recognize their efforts!
Today's Hero – Bungii
Today we shine the spotlight on Bungii, a delivery service focused on same-day and on-demand shipping of large items. Typically, they deliver items like mattresses, couches, dining sets, patio sets, grills, and even loads of mulch, pine straw, or rocks, as well as other large household items. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been able to be a part of aiding the supply chain needs for both business partners and consumers who use their service. As a "shipping and delivery" company, they fall under the "Essential Business" provision and have been called upon to help deliver personal protective equipment from medical supply distributors, essential products, and shelf stable goods to local charities. They've even seen an increase in outdoor supplies and DIY materials for home improvement projects.
Bungii was able to utilize their delivery services to support the Center for Children and Young Adults (CCYA). Bungii purchased non-perishable goods like bottled water and toilet paper from our local Big Lots and delivered it to the CCYA in Marietta. CCYA was in critical need of these supplies and very grateful for the donation.
One of Bungii's core values is "Do The Right Thing" which was exemplified in their decision to donate both supplies and their services to CCYA. As the demand increases, they hope to continue to be a positive resource for our communities during this trying time. Bungii has several partners in retailers located in the Town Center CID and beyond in Cobb County. Please continue to support your local businesses like Bungii who are going above and beyond to help our community.
If you have other small business heroes that you would like to highlight, please send them to our communications & outreach manager, Luci Morgan.

Were getting tremendously close to leaving. There is a poster in one of the hallways in the high school I work at that's counting down the days until the end of the year. I remember my time as a high school student, not that it was that long ago, but I have a crystal clear memory for waiting impatiently for summer vacation. But now that I work in a school, I'm trying to make each moment last as long as possible. Those tables sure did turn on me!
For this past school year I've been working as a Paraprofessional Teacher in Special Education. My mornings are spent working with elementary school kids, and my afternoons are in the high school up the road. They say that time flies when you're having fun. Well what about when your having a tremendous amount of fun AND there's a start of a six month backpacking adventure rapidly approaching? Time hops in an F-22 and goes super-sonic.
One of my biggest (and hopefully only) regrets about hiking the AT this summer is going to be leaving all these great people behind. So on a personal note, I'd like to get my good-byes out of the way now because it's only going to get harder (and please forgive the generics, there are simply too many people to name here):
To everyone I worked with in the district- Thank you all so much for the tremendous amount of help and support you all gave to me this year! So many of you told me how natural and confident I seemed in my position, but I drew that confidence from all of you. Everyone made me feel so at home here, for that I will be forever grateful.
To all my teammates from Conroy's Excavating and Moonshine and the FVYHA- you guys rock, this season was awesome. Playing hockey in -15 temperatures with icicles hanging off my goalie mask was sweet. I'm looking forward to visiting with my bag and seeing if anyone needs a guy between the pipes. Best of luck next season!
To all the kids I helped to coach- What a team we had this year! You all progressed more than I would have ever imagined. Keep up that desire to improve and to win, but above all have fun! Oh, and thanks for my coach jersey. That'll be the one I wear to the Avalanche and Eagle games I go to from now on!
To all my students at the elementary and high school- Put down those video games and get outside! And read a book every once and a while would ya? I'm kidding (partially). But seriously, thanks for making this such a memorable year! Please stay in touch, my email is on our website-use it often. I'm going to miss you all very much, work hard in the future so you have great news for me when I come to visit.
And just to all- I don't think spending 20 years up here would have been enough. Up here in this small town, friendships are truly friendships. People help others when they're in need, not just when it's convenient. People actually say hello to each other at the grocery store and wave when they drive by. A crazy concept these days. I'm a kinder person for having lived here and met all of you.
As we get closer to the end of the year, things continue to get crazier. We're going to move out of our house in two weeks, so at the end of the school year we can just grab our packs and go. This means we'll be packing and organizing on top of Jess preparing her students' finals, and me preparing the students for finals. Right now we're just missing one key thing: a way to move. So if you have a truck/trailer and are either free the weekend of the 24th or willing to let us borrow it, please let us know. We can compensate for help via beverages, food, good company…etc.

On March 12, Fermilab recognized 64 laboratory employees for their technological innovations, honoring them at the Fermilab Inventor Recognition Ceremony. Hosted by Office of Partnerships and Technology Transfer Manager Cherri Schmidt, the event celebrated employees who earned patents and submitted records of invention during 2018.
2018 was a banner year for patents and invention disclosures. More than 20 records of invention were submitted, and, for the first time in Fermilab's history, new patents reached double digits in a single year.
Following Schmidt's introductory remarks celebrating Fermilab's increased tech transfer activity over the years, Deputy Director for Administration Tim Meyer shared some perspectives from the Directorate. Among these were long-term initiatives including the greater collaboration with Fermilab's extended family at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago Polsky Center.
Michael Weis, manager of the DOE Fermi Site Office, shared some words of congratulations and introduced a brief video message from Conner Prochaska, director of the Office of Technology Transitions and the chief commercialization officer for DOE. Conner made special mention of the Lab Partnering Service (LPS) and the streamlined connection between innovators and commercialization.
"Your participation in LPS is critical to its success," Conner said, "and we are grateful that you've opened your doors to entrepreneurs, academic researchers and large businesses in need of the kinds of resources only DOE can provide."
Finally, Robert S. Altman, adjunct professor of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur-in-residence at the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Chicago, described how some of the attributes of scientists can be helpful in entrepreneurship in a special lecture titled, "Why a Scientist can be a Great Entrepreneur."
Meyer and Weis presented the awards to the employees who earned patents and submitted invention disclosures. The R&D 100 Award team from Fermilab was also honored for their contributions to silicon strip cosmic muon detectors for homeland security. Congratulations to William Cooper, Cristian Gingu, Johnny B. Green, Ron Lipton, Paul Rubinov and Mike Utes.
During the subsequent reception, inventors presented their technologies:
- 2017 honoree Derek Plant, railroad block and grade crossing warning system
- 2019 honoree Sujit Bidhar, low-voltage electrospinning system
- 2019 honorees Donato Passarelli and Mohamed Hamed Awida Hassan, novel radio-frequency tuning of dressed multicell cavities using pressurized-balloons technology
- 2019 honoree Curtis Baffes, whiffletree device for closure of flanged connections
Congratulations to the 2018 award winners, and thanks to those inventors who presented their technologies during the reception.
Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Practicum is a six-week short-course for Fermilab researchers who are interested in connecting their work with direct societal impact. The course is scheduled for six consecutive Thursdays, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the IARC Building, starting April 18 and ending May 23. Seats are limited.

During Blood Cancer Awareness Month, it is important to educate yourself and your loved ones on all types of blood cancers, and share resources for navigating the cancer journey.
Polycythemia vera or PV, is a rare, slow-progressing blood cancer that occurs when your body makes too many red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
PV is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), which causes your blood to thicken, leading to circulation issues and ultimately a limited flow of oxygen to your organs. PV can commonly cause blood clots, heart attacks and strokes. Patients with blood disorders such as PV have an increased risk for developing leukemia.
PV is most common in patients over the age of 60 and those who have a family history of the disease. It is more common in men than in women. It is important to note that only 100,000 people in the United States currently have PV, which translates to about one in every 3,200 people.
Common symptoms include:
- shortness of breath
- abdominal pain
- early feeling of fullness while eating
- pain under your left ribs
- day or night sweats
- problems concentrating
- numbness in your hands or feet
- dizziness
- insomnia
- headache and double or blurred vision
About 30 percent of PV cases are diagnosed after a heart attack or stroke. The majority of cases of PV are found at a routine check-up through identification of symptoms and elevated blood counts in bloodwork. If you think you may have PV, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about testing and diagnosis.
If your physician suspects PV, you may be referred to a hematologist (a specialist in blood diseases) and then evaluated through additional blood tests.
Your care team will monitor your condition with periodic blood tests and by tracking your symptoms over time. Treatments typically consist of medications that can be taken orally. Your doctor may recommend a low dosage of aspirin daily before prescribing additional medications that reduce red and white blood cell counts and platelet counts. PV can be effectively managed over time. Many patients continue on in their normal life for more than 20 years after a PV diagnosis.
For more information on PV, download this fact sheet and visit the Voices of MPN, or visit The Leukemia & Lymphoma website.

iSAW Touch Snap Verdict
Action cameras have evolved, and the Isaw Touch is a testament to this. One button operation, glorious touchscreen, decent specification and a price that makes this an ideal entry-level action camera.
For Isaw Touch
- Huge touchscreen
- One button operation
- Compatible with GoPro mounts
Against Isaw Touch
- Interpolated 4K
- Average low light performance
- No advanced features
Action cameras have changed, and this change has been orchestrated by the market leaders GoPro with touchscreens, GPS, motion sensors and big-hitting resolutions and framerates.
However, unlike the first generation of action cameras, many of which were mere clones of the GoPro design and feature set, manufacturers these days have a more significant grasp of what users want and have adapted their models to suit.
The Isaw Touch is an entry-level camera, not one that tries to cram in the features in detriment to the overall quality of the camera; instead, it's tuned to give those entering the action camera market the best possible experience.
This experience is apparent from the outset, with a quality waterproof housing and simple design that's easy for anyone to use and understand.
It has features such as a resolution 4K and noteworthy framerates that hit 120fps, the headline feature, however, is the large touchscreen.
In a packed market are the Isaw Touch's touchscreen and ease of use really what people want? Or would they prefer a cheap action camera that crams in everything? We put the Isaw Touch through its paces to find out if it can make an impact.
Many of today' entry-level cameras pack in vast amounts of options and settings. All well and good until you come to use the camera out in the wild.
The Isaw Touch also packs in the options but manages to keep it all well organised, so like the GoPro Hero 6 Black it does at first seem that options are limited, but delve in and everything is revealed.
Delve into the settings, and you'll soon discover Ultra HD 4K at 24fps, although interpolated. It also has 2k; I've yet to meet anyone who uses this resolution, Full HD 1080p at 60, 30fps and 720p at 120, 60 and 30fps. Finally, there's even VGA at 240fps.
It certainly offers the video options….
Powering the quality is a Sony 12MP image sensor fronted by a 170° degree field-of-view lens with 7 Glass elements.
Keeping the camera safe is the 100-feet 30m waterproof housing. As this model is all about the touchscreen, there's an alternative touchscreen backdoor that can be attached. While this will retain waterproofing to some extent, it's recommended that when the touch door is used purely for surface activities rather than diving.
As well as straight video the Isaw Touch can also capture stills at up to 16 million pixels and features other shooting modes including time-lapse and burst photos.
The big selling point for the Touch is the built-in 2.5-inch LCD touch screen which is larger than the Yi 4K+.
The camera also features built-in WiFi so that you can connect to your iOS or Android device using the OKCAM app.
Other nifty features include built-in stabilisation, motion detection, effects modes and a decent amount of manual control over the exposure settings.
In the box along with the camera, there are all the usual mounts and accessories, including, bike, helmet and surf.
There's also an Isaw wrist remote that enables you to start and stop recording without touching either camera or your phone.
Build quality and handling
The Touch features a good quality case, one slight oddity that instantly stands out if that the lens cover is portrait rather than landscape orientation.
The orientation of the lens cover doesn't make any difference to the quality of the footage or indeed the way the camera works; it's done this way as the lens on the camera is closer to the edge of the body that you'd typically expect to see.
An excellent feature of the lens cover is that it is entirely flat so can be wiped clean quickly when covered in mud.
The rest of the case is pretty standard and straightforward; one shutter button on top, a level lock holding it all secure and a GoPro mount on the base.
The lever lock on top features a small secondary lock ensuring that the case won't accidentally pop open, and the rear door can be replaced with the touch screen compatible version if required.
As ever when it comes to swapping these doors be prepared for a bit of a battle to remove and replace the securing pin in the hinge.
Once the case is open, there's a good rubber seal around the opening, and the rear door features a foam pad to keep the camera from rattling about inside. There isn't, however, a pad around the lens opening, not an essential but a feature often seen on premium models.
The lens cover is replaceable with four Philips type screws keeping it secure; these are only accessed once the camera is out of the case.
Quality finish to the camera
The camera itself has a good quality feel to it. All plastic with a textured edge.
The plastic finish of the front of the camera looks great, and the texture and large touch screen elevate the overall quality feel above other entry-level cameras.
The shutter button on top is small but has a positive action when pressed and is the only button.
The lens looks excellent quality.
On the left side of the camera as you look at it from the back is the USB and Micro HDMI ports and on the base is the door to the battery and MicroSD card slot.
These doors feel of a lesser quality to premium models but are in line with this level of camera.
Also on the base is a standard 1/4-inch thread so a selfie stick or tripod can be attached.
The overall build quality of the Isaw Touch is above many other entry-level cameras elevated by an outstanding housing and good overall finish to the camera.
The touch screen elevates handling
Although action cameras have been designed so that you can shoot footage in places and situations that would otherwise be impossible, until the latest generation the handling of these cameras has often been far from user-friendly.
Touch screens have been one of the most significant innovations for these cameras, and this is definitely true when it comes to using the Isaw Touch.
The camera is quickly switched on with the dual use shutter/power button, and then all functions and features can be accessed through the touchscreen.
Clicking the small cog enables you to access the shooting settings such as resolutions and framerates, while the bar at the bottom allows you to select the shooting mode. On the far left is the review option.
If you need to connect to the mobile app, then a quick swipe down enables you to access the Wifi and a few other options.
In use, the Isaw Touch was almost identical to the Yi 4K+, incredibly intuative and easy to use.
In use you have to remember that the Isaw Touch is an entry-level model, it feels like a premium product with the solid casing and large touchscreen.
Navigating settings, especially with the touchback fitted onto the case made it one of the most accessible cameras on the market and very like the top end Yi 4K+.
Reviewing footage and the quality shows the Isaw Touch fits more closely into the entry-level sector.
Starting with the interpolated 4K, (Interpolated means that the footage is stretched to fit the resolution). Despite the pulling and stretching the quality is still pretty good and as long as you're not comparing directly side-by-side with true 4K footage you'd be perfectly happy with the results.
The more critical resolution is 1080p at 60 and 30fps. Although Full HD may seem a little long in the tooth these days, it's still the most popular format.
At 1080p, 60fps the camera performs well, although I did find that the standard sharpening applied to the image is a little over the top.
Drop the sharpening down to soft, and it lessens some of the pixelation that appears.
The motion capture at 60fps is excellent with smooth frames that look great.
Shooting in typical British winter conditions, so dull, means that the sensor has to work a little harder. The result is reduced video quality.
In brighter conditions, pixelation eases, and quality rapidly improves.
Drop the frame rate to 30fps, and again there is an increase in quality. Compare video shot in bright and lower light conditions, and there is a big difference.
To be fair to the camera, it performed well and with a little tweaking of the manual settings for sharpness and exposure compensation the results were excellent.
In the past, I have been impressed with the quality of the Isaw product range. They have consistently produced cameras that have balanced quality with usability and price.
The Isaw Touch is an innovation in the market, and there are elements of the camera that are very familiar.
The Touchscreen is exceptional, in the same way as the Yi 4K+'s touch screen is outstanding, but here on the Touch despite it being a cheaper camera, it's larger.
Navigating the settings, and filming couldn't be easier and for anyone wanting an action camera to get started the Isaw Touch offers a great deal.
It manages to keep things simple but still offer plenty of options and control. It should find appeal with anyone wanting a first action camera or anyone wanting a compact video camera to life events.
In use you do have to remember that this is an entry-level model so doesn't pack in those additional features such as voice control, GPS or motion sensors.
You also have to remember that the image quality isn't going to be up there with the Yi 4K+ or GoPro Hero 6 Black especially in low light.
Despite this the visual quality is good especially in bright conditions, the footage is clear, bright and crisp with plenty of detail. Play around with the manual settings especially the sharpness, and you'll see a significant improvement in the pixelation.
At a touch under £140, the Isaw Touch is an exceptional action camera and one that follows on from the legacy of the Isaw edge. It's also one of the first of the new generation of action cameras that ups the game when it comes to what we should expect when it comes to usability and features.

Medical clinics versus usual care for patients with both diabetes and hypertension: a randomized trial.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
BACKGROUND: Group medical clinics (GMCs) are widely used in the management of diabetes and hypertension, but data on their effectiveness are limited. OBJECTIVE: To test the effectiveness of GMCs in the management of comorbid diabetes and hypertension. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00286741) SETTING: 2 Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in North Carolina and Virginia. PATIENTS: 239 patients with poorly controlled diabetes (hemoglobin A(1c) [HbA(1c)] level > or =7.5%) and hypertension (systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg). INTERVENTION: Patients were randomly assigned within each center to either attend a GMC or receive usual care. Clinics comprised 7 to 8 patients and a care team that consisted of a primary care general internist, a pharmacist, and a nurse or other certified diabetes educator. Each session included structured group interactions moderated by the educator. The pharmacist and physician adjusted medication to manage each patient's HbA(1c) level and blood pressure. MEASUREMENTS: Hemoglobin A(1c) level and systolic blood pressure, measured by blinded research personnel at baseline, study midpoint (median, 6.8 months), and study completion (median follow-up, 12.8 months). Linear mixed models, adjusted for clustering within GMCs, were used to compare HbA(1c) levels and systolic blood pressure between the intervention and control groups. RESULTS: Mean baseline systolic blood pressure and HbA(1c) level were 152.9 mm Hg (SD, 14.2) and 9.2% (SD, 1.4), respectively. At the end of the study, mean systolic blood pressure improved by 13.7 mm Hg in the GMC group and 6.4 mm Hg in the usual care group (P = 0.011 by linear mixed model), whereas mean HbA(1c) level improved by 0.8% in the GMC group and 0.5% in the usual care group (P = 0.159). LIMITATION: Measurements of effectiveness may have been limited by concomitant improvements in the usual care group that were due to co-intervention. CONCLUSION: Group medical clinics are a potent strategy for improving blood pressure but not HbA(1c) level in diabetic patients.

Sandy Andolong disclosed that she has not been with the ABS-CBN sitcom, Home Sweetie Home, since October 2018.
This was the reason why Sandy was able to accept her comeback project with GMA-7, Dahil sa Pag-ibig.
Sandy told this to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other reporters during the May 17 press conference of Dahil sa Pag-ibig held at the 17th floor of GMA Network Center, Quezon City.
According to the veteran actress, she immediately accepted the offer since it has been almost five years since she last did a drama project.
Sandy's last drama project was the Kapuso prime-time series, Anna Karenina, which was aired from June to September 2013.
Sandy said, "October pa ako wala sa Home Sweetie, e, last year.
"This came nito lang, April, March, April. Since October, I have not been taping Home Sweetie Home.
"Nagpaalam naman ako nang maayos, parang pinahinga ko na yung character, yung sarili ko muna.
"When this came, e, di siyempre, grab agad. Namiss ko rin, e, ang drama."
"Kasi noong nag-Home Sweetie Home ako, dire-diretso na. It was my decision and okay naman, wala namang problem."
In a separate solo interview with PEP.ph, Sandy disclosed the reason why she opted to leave Home Sweetie Home in October 2018.
"When I stopped doing Home Sweetie Home, pahinga ko yun, which was very timely kasi at that time, nagkasakit ako.
"It was a time na may virus na kumakalat na nagkakahawaan, tinamaan ako, and it took me a long time to recover.
"So, parang in my mind, naisip ko na siguro, kaya I have to leave the show already because I have to rest."
Last May 11, Home Sweetie Home was reformatted and new characters were introduced.
Among the cast, only lead actress Toni Gonzaga, with Miles Ocampo and Clarence Delgado, were retained.
Sandy admitted that she was not aware that Home Sweetie Home would undergo another reformat until Piolo Pascual decided to leave the show.
The 57-year old actress is happy with the latest developments of her previous Kapamilya show.
"No, hindi ko rin alam na aalis si Piolo. Nalaman ko lang sa news. Hindi ko alam na he would leave the show also because he has to study.
"Noong nakita kong nag-iba sila ng format, okay naman, I'm happy for them."
Dahil sa Pag-ibig is Sandy's comeback with GMA-7 after almost six years.
Her contract with the Kapuso network is only for the afternoon series, since she is a freelancer.
As a TV actress, Sandy's first TV show was the sitcom Hapi House, aired in IBC-13 in the 1980s.
After starring in the sitcom, Sandy did projects for both ABS-CBN and GMA-7.
"Noong naging between GMA na and ABS, paganun-ganun ako pero mas marami akong nagawang teleserye sa GMA.
"Kirara, Stairway to Heaven, Endless Love, and then Anna Karenina. At saka with Al Tantay, yung remake, yung kay Charo Santos dati, Gumapang ka sa Lusak. Pumapatay ako ng tao do'n!"
According to Sandy, she is happy with the set-up of being able to do projects with both networks.
"I'm very comfortable. I like it. I wouldn't have it any other way. Okay naman sa akin."
How would she compare working with ABS-CBN and GMA-7?
Sandy answered, "Okay naman. I always have a good ano, e, in terms of cast and the staff, I have a very good relationship with both sides ng stations.
"They both give me really good, good roles, alagang-alaga nila ang actors nila.
"But, of course, since I've worked many times with GMA, it's a nice feeling to be back and be with people that you know, people you've worked with.
"Yung iba nga, wala na, e, nag-asawa na, nag-migrate na. But I'm glad I'm back here."
What does she consider as the favorite projects she did with ABS-CBN and GMA-7?
For GMA-7, Sandy told PEP.ph, "Anna Karenina. The one I did with Direk Gina Alajar."
Anna Karenina, a remake of 1996 weekend soap produced by VIVA Television, starred Krystal Reyes, Joyce Ching, and Barbie Forteza.
Sandy's character was Dona Carmela Monteclaro, the matriarch of the Monteclaro clan looking for their heiress named Anna Karenina. Her role was first portrayed by Rosemarie Gil.
Sandy continued, "That was really, ano siya, matagal din nag-run, but I became close with sila Barbie, sila Joyce Ching.
"Masaya, maganda yung role, masarap yung role ko, ninamnam ko. Parang doon ako na-sad noong nag-end."
In ABS-CBN, Sandy's favorite project was the 2012 afternoon series Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo, where she played the mother of Shaina Magdayao.
She recalled, "I developed a very close relationship with Shaina, para ko siyang anak-anakan na up to this time."
At present, Sandy is looking forward to her newest role in Dahil sa Pag-ibig, as the mother of Sanya Lopez's character.
One of the scenes shown in the presscon trailer was a confrontation scene between her and Tetchie Agbayani, who plays the mother of Benjamin Alves, Sanya's husband in the show.
According to Sandy, she and Tetchie have already taped several fight scenes for the Kapuso show.
"We talk about it and then we do it, 'tapos pag nag-cut na, yakapan kami.
"Ang dami to look forward to in terms of bangayan ng mga balae. Sanay ako, sanay nga rin akong kontrabida, e!"
It is also her first time to be directed by Ricky Davao, who is one of her very good friends, and whom she shared the screen as co-stars in past projects.
"Nakakatuwa and I'm happy for him, when I see him direct na he's growing as an artist.
"At saka ano siya, as a director, natutuwa ako dahil very particular siya sa mga scenes, alam niya kung ano yung gusto niya sa mga actors niya."
Talking about the show, Sandy said, "Maraming magagandang eksena, maraming mga very ano, e, very pang-adult, maraming nakakatuwa, maraming nakakakaiyak, maraming nakakagulat na eksena."
When Sandy was with ABS-CBN, she also got to work with her real-life husband Christopher de Leon several times.
The first was in a drama series that was also called Dahil sa Pag-ibig, starring Piolo Pascual, Jericho Rosales, and Cristine Reyes.
Christopher and Sandy played husband and wife, but Sandy's character was killed after two weeks.
They also worked in Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo, where Christopher the father of Jake Cuenca, and Sandy played the mother of Jake's wife, Shaina Magdayao.
This time, Christopher only appeared in the show during its pilot week.
She said about her working relationship with Christopher, "I love working with my husband, kasi very giving actor yan, e, si Christopher.
"Binibigay niya sa iyo yung eksena kapag kinakailangan. And, of course, because he's my husband, maasikaso sa set! He makes a fuss na, 'Okay ka ba? Pahinga ka muna.'"
However, it might take a while before they can work again with each other, since Christopher will be part of an ABS-CBN teleserye titled Love Thy Woman.
Sandy is okay with their setup of working in different networks, especially since they are both freelance actors.
In fact, they even exchange stories at night about their taping days.
"Freelance naman din siya, e, kakatapos niya lang din naman dito.
"Nagku-kwentuhan kami pag when something unusual happens sa set, kinukwento ko sa kanya, o meron akong nabalitaan na something new to me, shine-share ko sa kanya."
Sandy has been actively doing TV shows and films since the 1970s.
She believes that her career lasted this long because of the training she got from veteran directors during the '80s.
"Yung generation namin is well-trained by the directors before, e. We were required to be very professional, to be on time, during our time, pagdating namin sa set, naka-fully made-up na kami, nakaayos na.
"Alam na namin ang lines namin, nag-a-antay na lang kung anong gustong gawin ng director.
"Wala kaming stylist, wala kaming make-up artist, and we have to bring our own clothes.
"Tapos walang tent tent noong araw, kung saan ang location, maghanap ka ng sulok mo kung saan ka mag-stay."
According to Sandy, a lot has changed from the time when she was still starting out in the industry.
"Ngayon, to me, wow, ang sarap naka-aircon tent ka, asikasong-asikaso ka na lang.
"Dito sa Dahil, wala akong masasabi, asikasong asikaso ako."
Despite being able to make a drama comeback after six years, Sandy is not in a rush to do more projects because she relishes her quality time with her husband.
"I do it one day at a time, kung ano ang dumating.
"Welcome din naman sa akin yung if I'm not doing anything, I just stay home.
"Nag-e-empty nesting na kami, e, ni Christopher, so it's a luxury for us na we can be together, kaming dalawa lang and spend time together."

This awesome picture was taken just days before the Mayweather v. McGreggor fight.
Eden Leznik, a B Street Boxing standout amateur boxer (left), and his father Alex (right), is pictured with arguably the most accomplished boxer of the last 20 years, Floyd "Money" Mayweather. Everybody's asking - "How did that happen?" Well, to make a long story short, Eden and Alex started Grodex Luxury Bags. Grodex produces customizable heavy bags - color, size, shape, artwork - you name it! I must emphasize, Eden's bags are without peer in quality and construction.
As the fight between Mayweather and McGregor was approaching, Eden came up with an idea of making a custom bag for "Money." As he shared his vision with me, I was thinking to myself, "good luck getting it to him." Of course, he then asked me if I could set something up so they can personally deliver the bag to "Money." No, I do not know Floyd Mayweather Jr., but I know people who do. I made a few calls, and a tentative meeting was set. Eden and his father rented a car and took off for Vegas with the bag in the back seat. He called me when he arrived, and in turn I called Mayweather's associate. The three of them met as the final Mayweather/ McGregor press conference was ending. Mayweather inspected the bag and promised, "I'm going to put this up in my house in LA." After handshakes and pictures Eden and Alex went to the airport. Moral of the story is that no matter how impossible the dream may seem, if you are committed and willing to sacrifice, with a little luck, you will achieve it and I will do everything I can to help you make it a reality.

The nest is fucking empty. Even the egg is gone. Just three tiny pieces of shell. I couldn't take a picture.
Today hasn't been the greatest day, so me share some cuteness: a baby bird update!
First, here's momma again since the last picture sucked.
Her red beak really stands out. There's been a time or two where her tail feathers have been pointing towards the house and while the red streak in her tail makes it visible, it is always so much harder to see.
It's kinda hard to see the babies, but there's two of them. I made both pictures clickable, you look in the middle of the nest, under the wing of the bird on the right. You can see there's a spotted round thing under the baby's wing. That's the last of the eggs. Bear and I are worried that one won't hatch. I think it still hasn't and the siblings are getting big. This picture is from six days ago (day after they hatched) and already they look fuller and more bird like (less ugly). Mom and Dad both come by and feed the babies. You can see in the picture they are laying pretty flat against the bottom of the nest, but the SECOND Mom or Dad fly towards the nest they pop up like little jacks in a nest and open their beaks wide. I've tried getting a picture of them feeding, but it's a little difficult. They deflate flat pretty quick after Mom and Dad leave and if I even think about getting close, they skedattle.
Bear and I have plans to build a raised bed this weekend. Well Bear knows we are gonna build it. I'm not sure he realizes there's a deadline. I've got baby tomato plants coming! Also, I've finally figured out the bread method in this bread book and I'm probably gonna post about that. Not terribly exciting to others maybe, but OMG GOOD BREAD.
(Linda: got title from "I've Got Friends" by Manchester Orchestra)
This weekend was basically spent reading, cuddling, and dealing with depression. It hasn't dragged us down like this in a long time. I guess it was necessary. But I've been making bread consistently for a week now and I've gotten better and got a system(?)/rhythm. It's easy and dude. Flour. Water. Salt. Yeast. No worries about what we are eating. We cooked at least 5 meals and were good for one of the 2 we didn't make. I ate like a lb of brussel sprouts. Despite the lethargy of the weekend I didn't put on any weight. I really do think the house is good for us.
To wit: We have a daily fascination. We have a deck that runs the entire back of our house and some overgrown shrubs that are now 8 feet tall and their tops are level with the floor of our deck. In one of those shrubs, a bird has made a nest and laid eggs. We can check on her from inside the house and do almost daily.
Pretty sure she's a cardinal. Can you see her? Count two deck pickets from the left and then look about an inch up from the bottom of the railing. She's got a red beak. That picture was taken through the glass door because if you open the door or walk down the deck towards her, she flies away.
I found out one day when I tried to creep up on her. Those are her three little eggs that she sits on. She's been sitting on those eggs for… 3 weeks? I wonder how long eggs take to hatch. I can't wait until there are baby birds there. Bear worries and frets about Momma Bird not having enough food, so we've been trying to keep the feeder full despite the crows that keep gobbling down the seed.
(for Linda: the title is from And Then You by Greg Laswell. Because you don't. The "I've been a romantic for years" story probably made my whole week, not just today.)
It was Bear's birthday yesterday. I cleaned radiators and our floors for his gift. We have so much fun. We were also fighting about having kids yesterday. I hadn't realized we were so close, but then I think about how old I actually am and it scares me. I don't feel that old. My body doesn't feel that old. Whatever. Despite what other people seem to be so sure about, I'm hoping that if I just take it the best I can, as I have everything else, it'll work out.
In further news of Bear's and my complete and utter disgusting domesticity, we have bought lawn fertilizer, a mosquito magnet and this propane motor that comes with a trimmer and can swap out the trimmer for all these other heads, like a cultivator and a saw.
We've been sleeping a lot lately too. Good sleep I think. My best guess is that we are more active and busy here than we've ever been. I think we got into a bad habit of living at the apartment and building ourselves back up has been tiring us out enough to sleep.
Oh. Continuing with all the babble about our grounds:
That's the backyard, y es? You've seen it covered with snow so it's not new. See the greenery by the stones and the trees? Those are skunk cabbage. We have lots and lots of them. Now lets pretend you could stand where I was when I took that picture and you turned to the left.
The other pest. Day lilies. SCADS of them. We have an infestation of Lily of the Valley (Canadian variety supposedly) too, but unlike Lily of the Valley, skunk cabbage and day liles are IMPOSSIBLE to dig up. No I lie. Skunk Cabbage is impossible. Day lilies are just the most stubborn bitches ever.
Lemme show you a closer look so you can see how DENSE this is.
All of those little triads of pretty green leaves has about 12 thick bulbs underground that create this WEB of roots that's impossible to pull up.
Ok, I posted this because I think it's funny and pretty that we have a little cluster of daffodils in the middle of our swamp, but will you look at the skunk cabbage? THERES A MILLION of them. And while in this picture they are a little bigger than a human head, now they are as big as beach balls. HUGE. I'm going to have a take another picture. I mean, it's cool that they make the swamp look green? I don't know. It boggles my mind, but I think I'm happy to leave the swamp to them. The day lilies on the other hand are mostly going down.

Migration/mobility and vulnerability to HIV among male migrant workers: Andhra Pradesh 2007-08
Document Type
Publication Date
The Population Council, in collaboration with TNS India Pvt. Ltd., undertook a study in Andhra Pradesh, India, to examine the patterns of male migration and its links with HIV risk. The goal was to provide evidence to inform the design and implementation of HIV interventions for male migrant workers. The study documented the volume and patterns of mobility, including the social dynamics within the contract system that employs these men as laborers, and the sexual risk behaviors and addictive behaviors of male migrants. The results suggest a predominance of interdistrict movements of men within Andhra Pradesh with a strong positive association between individuals' degree of mobility and their sexual behavior. Moreover, an increase in degree of mobility is linked to inconsistent or nonuse of condoms, and there is limited knowledge of HIV infection among these recent male migrants. The study shows that there is a clear need for implementing interventions to prevent HIV infection in migrant workers and the authors of this report recommend the use of work-contract systems for delivering HIV-prevention interventions.

Technical character and inventive step at the EPO – Two Hurdle Approach
Article 52 of the European Patent Convention (EPC) excludes computer programs "as such" from patentability. However, a claim directed to a computer program may still pass this first (eligibility) hurdle if the claimed subject-matter causes a "further technical effect" going beyond the normal physical interactions between the program and the computer on which it is run (e.g. T 1173/97). A claim directed to a computer-implemented invention (CII) involves use of a technical apparatus, e.g. a computer, computer network or other programmable apparatus, where one or more features are realized wholly or partly by means of a computer program. Such claim is also acknowledged to have technical character (e.g. T 424/03) and therefore directly passes the first hurdle.
While the first hurdle thus constitutes a rather low threshold, a second hurdle (patentability hurdle) still has to be passed, namely a hurdle corresponding to the question of whether or not a claim directed to a CII or to software that causes a further technical effect involves an inventive step.
This question is answered at the EPO by assessing whether or not features distinguishing the claim from the prior art have a technical effect – and if yes, by assessing whether or not a skilled person, having regard to the prior art as a whole, would have suggested the claimed technical features in order to solve a correspondingly defined objective technical problem. This well-established Problem-and-Solution-Approach thus focusses the assessment of whether or not claimed subject matter can be inventive on the claimed features that can be a solution to a technical problem explicitly or implicitly derivable from the application (Rule 42 EPC).
In case of CIIs, claims often include a mix of technical and non-technical features, the latter being features relating to non-inventions within the meaning of Article 52(2) EPC. In such situations, the "COMVIK approach" established in decision T 641/00 provides rules according to which the non-technical features which as such cannot contribute to the solution of a technical problem have no significance for the purpose of assessing inventive step. In fact, while in order to avoid hindsight, the objective technical problem should normally not include pointers to the solution or partially anticipate it, in particular an aim to be achieved in a non-technical field may appear in the formulation of the problem that is to be solved, in particular as a constraint that has to be met (T 641/00, headnote II). In other words, while the non-technical features may fully or in part define requirements that have to be met by an implementation, only the technical features of a claim can provide support for an inventive step.
A key question to be answered when assessing inventive step of a computer-implemented invention is thus the question: What are the technical and what are the non-technical features of a claim?
The notional business person
A systematical approach to address this question has been developed by the Board of Appeal 3.5.01 and its application is the core of decision T 1461/11. The decision reverses a previous decision of an Examining Division who refused European patent application 03760289.3 entitled "Universal merchant platform for payment authentication" on grounds of lack of inventive step. The application generally relates to online shopping and more specifically to authentication of a consumer for payment. A starting point of the development subject to the application is an authentication scheme according to which for example for a credit card payment, a server of an online shop communicates with a computer of a corresponding credit-card company via a plug-in hosted at the server of the online shop. According to the application, a drawback of this scheme is that each online shop has to host (and maintain) a number of plug-ins for a corresponding number of payment methods. Addressing this drawback, the claimed invention suggests installing the plug-ins at a separate, centralized, server that can be accessed by each of the several online shops.
In its decision refusing the application, the Examining Division essentially argued that technical features defined with the claims under their consideration would be merely used for their respective well-known purposes for solving respective partial problems arising upon implementation of the claimed solution. In their view, the problem solved essentially amounted to the problem of how to outsource authentication of a commercial transaction, and the claimed solution therefore merely corresponded to a non-technical, administrative or business related, activity.
Revising this decision, the Board of Appeal judged that this approach was too simplistic as it did not distinguish in sufficient depth between technical and non-technical aspects. In particular, the Board judged that the particular payment authentication subject to the application could not be abstracted to a business activity because it involved technical aspects such as the use of plug-ins and servers.
In view of this, in order to ensure that an assessment of a claim directed to a CII does not overlook any technical matter, including known or even notorious matter, decision T 1463/11 introduced the concept of the "notional business person". With this concept, the objective technical problem can be formulated by assessing what are the requirements the business person can actually give to the technically skilled person. While in reality, a business person is of course aware of particular technological aspects, the notional business person is a fictional concept analogous to the skilled person of Art. 56 EPC. Thus, the notional business person may on the one hand formulate purely business related tasks, but can on the other hand not formulate any technical requirement. Applied to the case under consideration, the Board judged that the business person cannot require the technically-skilled person to use, for the plug-ins, a server other than the server of the online shop. Coping with difficulties arising from having to host and to maintain a variety of plug-ins at the server of the online shop would be a matter for a programmer or a network engineer – hence for the skilled person of Art. 56 EPC.
Having thus reassessed the question of which aspects of the payment authentication scheme subject to the application contribute to the technical solution and which do not, the Board of Appeal concluded that the relocation of the plug-ins to a centralized server involved an inventive step.
In a further decision (T1082/13), the same Board of Appeal clarified that the notional business person is to be interpreted within the framework of the COMVIK-approach. The notional business person is not fully blind but knows about the fact that business related concepts can be implemented on a computer system. A choice of where to implement an aspect in a distributed system is not necessarily technical, but can also be driven by administrative considerations. How exactly a business scheme can be implemented is what the notional business person does not know. This is in the sphere of the technical expert and subject to the assessment of inventive step.
Thus, the concept of the notional business person is a helpful tool to complement the notional person skilled in the art when the objective technical problem is formulated and when a claim is divided into technical and non-technical features. The concept of such notional person appears to be helpful in analogy also in different cases where non-technical features of a claim may stem from different fields included in the list of exclusions to patentability given in Art. 52(2) EPC. For example, an analogous application may make use of a "notional design person" when a claim is related to presentation of information.
Presence of a technical effect
Having identified the technical features present in a claim, and having identified those technical features of a claim that distinguish the claim from the closest prior art (distinguishing features), the next question to be answered when applying the Problem-and-Solution-Approach is:
Do the identified distinguishing features solve a technical problem with respect to the closest prior art?
In the field of inventions based on neural networks and machine learning, the negative answer to this question lead to the refusal of European patent application 06804383.5 with decision T 161/18. The application relates to a method for determining cardiac output from an arterial blood pressure curve. The measured blood pressure curve is not directly assessed but firstly arithmetically transformed into a corresponding central blood pressure curve. The corresponding transformation uses an artificial neural network whose weighting values are determined by learning.
In agreement with the finding of the Examining Division, the Board of Appeal acknowledged the features distinguishing the claimed subject-matter from the closest prior art to be that the transformation is performed using an artificial neural network whose weighting values are determined by learning. However, the application did not include any further information in this respect. The applicant essentially argued that these features would allow for a precise determination of the cardiac output taking into account a specific form of the curve in a particular range at reasonable computational cost thus allowing for implementing the claimed technology in a small and compact device.
However, the Board of Appeal did not follow the applicant's argument as neither the claims nor the description of the application included any detail regarding the training of the artificial neural network. The artificial neural network would therefore not be adapted in any particular way to the specific case claimed such that the claim would merely define an arbitrary training which would be the same for any artificial neural network. Based thereon, the Board of Appeal was not convinced that the effect argued by the applicant in fact exists within the whole range defined by the claim and that it could therefore not be taken into account when assessing inventive step. The objective technical problem thus merely amounting to the question of how to provide a method alternative to the method disclosed in the closest prior art, the Board of Appeal concluded that the claim lacked an inventive step as use of artificial neuronal networks was common practice.
Thus, while for example CII claims in the field of artificial intelligence may in principle be patentable (e.g. T598/07), it is important to disclose how the claimed implementation is different from the prior art. This is generally true for claims directed to CIIs in general. It is not sufficient that a claim directed to a CII includes features that have technical character, it is crucial that an application provides support for corresponding technical effects by providing specific examples on how the invention is in fact put into practice. Such examples may on the one hand constitute fallback positions for claim limitations and on the other hand basis for arguments in support of inventive step.
German Approach
While an established, unified approach for assessing software-related developments comparable to the Two Hurdle Approach applied at the EPO does not exist in Germany, depending on the case, some or all of the following three tests are applied. In a first test, the claims subject to an application in question are assessed as regards their technical character, this assessment being independent of the prior art. If technical character is acknowledged, a second test then assesses whether or not any exclusion to patentability applies, e.g. whether or not the invention purely relates to a computer program or to presentation of information (§1 PatG). If such exclusion does not apply, the claimed subject-matter is then assessed in a third test as to whether or not it is new and involves an inventive step.
This approach has been applied in a decision of the German Federal Patent court (FPC) in case 17 W (pat) 6/18 of a German patent application addressing the problem of how to derive useful signal components from a source signal. The application had previously been refused by the GPTO. The Examining Division considered the claims subject to decision to be purely related to respective mathematical methods and therefore to be excluded from patentability under §1 PatG.
The FPC disagreed and acknowledged patentability. Applying the first test, the FPC argued that the claim subject to their consideration would at least in part be set up in a technical field as it defined detection of positions of useful signal components in a discrete source signal. According to the FPC, a source signal as subject to the application in question would correspond to a collection of measurement values such that processing of the source signal would relate to processing of physical values and would as such be technical. In addition, it would be clear to a skilled person that the processing would necessarily be performed by means of a computer program running on a computer such that the claim would provide a clearly technical teaching for use of a computer.
Applying the second test, the FPC assessed whether or not the claimed subject-matter would be excluded from patentability, i.e. would be a mathematical method excluded from patentability in accordance with §1(3) Nr. 1 PatG. According to the FPC, the claim would provide a solution to the objective technical problem of how to enable detection of useful signal components repetitively occurring in a discrete source signal also in high-noise conditions. Technical considerations would be necessary to provide several features defined in the claim and the determination of the useful signal components would directly relate to a determination of physical values. The FPC thus considered the claimed mathematical method technical and as not falling under the exclusions to patentability.
Continuing with the third test to assess the claimed method in comparison to the prior art, the FPC considered the specific mathematical steps defined in the claim as not being disclosed in the prior art available to the FPC and as involving an inventive step. The case was then remitted to the first instance for further examination.
Practical advice
Thus, the main requirement for a claim directed to a CII to be patented at the EPO or at the GPTO is that the claim includes technical features that are a solution to a technical problem. It is thus crucial that a patent application drafted for a software based development specifically defines technical features that cause corresponding technical effects and that provide respective solutions to technical problems. Following for example the notional-business person approach, an applicant should identify any feature that contributes to the technical solution of the problem solved potentially in a non-technical field. It should be ensured that a complete solution to the problem is present as providing only a high-level conceptional solution bears a high risk that an application is refused based on lack of inventive step at the EPO or based on lack of technical character at the GPTO.

Saving money is as important as making money – for, after all, in the words of Benjamin Franklin, "A penny saved is a penny earned." And with small sized businesses, there is less room for waste and inefficiency because there is less capital to work with and higher per unit overhead costs.
That means small businesses in particularly must find ways to streamline their finances and save every penny they possibly can, while still looking and functioning in a professional manner that will impress their clients. The only alternative is stagnation or even closing your doors.
That said, the next question is obvious: how can it be done? In answer, we offer these 5 practical ways for small businesses to save money, boost their bottom line, and grow.
1. Use Free Invoicing
How can I invoice for free and still have access to high quality, customizable invoice templates that look sharp, include all the relevant pieces of information, and impress my customers? It's not a trick question – just click on the above-given link and you'll find out how.
Using free invoicing software, templates, and apps will allow you to partake of all the most important benefits of these tools: saving time, simplifying invoicing, getting paid faster, and looking professional to your clients.
You can always upgrade for a small price and gain even more valuable features, but using the free software for now will save you money and streamline your cash flow "pipeline."
2. Partner With Other Businesses
Now, you can't team up with your competitors, of course, but there are many "complementary" rather than competing businesses out there with whom you could partner. It can save both businesses money when they share mailing lists and other advertising data and even print joint same-page ads together.
Aside from marketing, consider bartering with other local companies. Often, you can trade labor or goods legally and both save. For example, an Internet provider might give a contractor who paints their office a year or two of "free" service.
3. Outsource To Save
In many cases, you are better off paying an independent contractor, a freelancer, or another specialist for their services on a one-time, as-needed, or even intermittent basis as opposed to hiring new labor in-house.
Remember that a new workers means a lot of extra expenses, which go well beyond the salary to include benefits, and perhaps, unemployment payments if you ever have to lay them off. Proudly hire exactly how many workers you need, all with top-tier skills or at least a good work ethic and the willingness to learn.
Then, do what you can yourself, without getting bogged down so you can't manage your business OR attempting things you have no idea how to do! Outsourcing the rest is cheaper and gets better results.
4. Save On Your Website
Using a website building platform instead of hiring a full-scale web professional will save you a lot of money.
Of course, there's a place for web designers and developers, but most small businesses can do well enough with a website builder like Shopify or Squarespace. Using these programs takes relatively little time or technical expertise.
5. Minimize Office Expenses
First of all, many small businesses need no office outside of the business owners own home. Renting office space can be expensive, so avoid it if you can. Plus, you can deduct the costs of running a home office for your business from your taxes each year.
If you must have a separate office, keep it small by letting workers work at home whenever possible. Buying used office furniture will help you save even more.
These are just five of nearly limitless number of ways you can cut expenses and thus boost the viability of your small business. Keep on looking, and you will find dozens of creative ways to save, and it's going to make a big difference.

NEW YORK — Amidst hubbub in Washington over outsourcing and a shrinking domestic manufacturing base, Ricky Schiffer and Leonard Keff are going back to the future.
The two veteran apparel executives are out to prove the Made in America rebirth is real by opening a 7,500-square-foot knitting factory in the heart of the Garment District at 142 West 36th Street.
Keff, who will oversee production and operations, and Schiffer, who will have sales responsibilities, have ordered 20 state-of-the-art Stoll knitting machines, the first six of which are set to arrive any day, and are targeting an Aug. 15 startup. Their factory and headquarters on the second floor of the building are being built this week.
In an interview at temporary offices at 485 Seventh Avenue, the two explained how the idea of starting the business, Keff NYC, came about, enthusiastically detailing why they think it will be a viable venture.
"We have so much experience, our eyes are wide open — we know there are no pitfalls we can't overcome," Schiffer said. "It's just a matter of how quickly we can get this up and running and how much business we'll be able to handle."
Keff said their confidence is measured by years of successes and failures in the business — his own family-owned knitting mill in New Jersey closed 10 years ago — and knowing that factors have come together to make this the right time to start such an enterprise.
"I've never felt the kind of positive feeling in all my years in business that I feel now," he said.
The two had known each other for 20 years and both their families had long histories in the knitting business.
"About eight months ago, Leonard contacted me on LinkedIn and asked what I was up to, and eventually approached the subject of opening up a knitting mill," Schiffer said. "I told him the idea was crazy. We had closed our mills about 10 years ago because there was no way to compete with China. But what has happened over the last few years in China — their labor has gone up, their materials have gone up — these things have dovetailed to bring us to a time and a place now where it really make sense. This is the flash point for us. We really feel this is our time and we're a making a huge capital investment."
Keff explained that when they found a space they wanted, the impetus came when they visited the three-year-old Stoll Fashion & Technology Center at 250 West 39th Street. The three-story Stoll facility consists of sample-making and production departments with eight knitting machines, a linking machine, and washing, finishing and steaming machines, along with a showroom and library, training for commercial and educational purposes, and a parts department, that has become a popular place for many designers to make styles used in New York Fashion Week, as well as product development, sample making and small production runs.
"Stoll is stirring the drink for us," Keff said. "They showed us it is possible to be able to sew great quality garments exactly like they do in China."
Beth Hofer, senior manager for customer relations and educational resources at the Stoll Center, said, "We have an opportunity to bring knitting manufacturing back onto American soil. To see this happening right here in New York City…proves the American dream is still alive. Stoll has been a believer in this vision for quite a few years and its Fashion & Technology Center in Manhattan's Garment District is evidence."
Keff said while labor costs are still considerably higher in the U.S. than China, the combination of Stoll's robotic, computerized machines and the lack of freight and duty costs associated with importing, allows them to be competitive.
"In order to work in Manhattan, it has to be better goods, the high end," Keff said. "We feel that by knitting full fashion garments for the better market on Stoll machines, we can facilitate production for anyone that can pay our price and is looking for good quality and quick turn. What this gives to the manufacturers…is the ability not to have to step out four months in advance and have to project inventory. Now, all they have to do is buy yarn, send it to us and we can knit as they need it."
Keff and Schiffer both said that this idea wouldn't have even been a consideration two or three years ago before conditions in China changed, the U.S. economy forced brands and retailers to rethink their sourcing and planning strategies and the concept of a Made in America revival started to percolate.
"The Made in America talk is what started it," Keff said. "My grandfather bought the first Stoll machine in America — we had them go back and check the records in Germany. I never thought we'd have an opportunity to do this again in the center of Manhattan."
Schiffer noted that Keff NYC will be making women's and men's sweater knits, ranging from three to 14 gauge, and — going over a blueprint of the facility — will include finishing on Italian machines also being purchased, and in-house washing and processing, as well as shipping. Some cut-and-sew capability is also envisioned. The projection is to be able to make 150,00 to 160,000 pieces a year at this facility.
A chief programer has been hired and has gone to Stoll headquarters in Reutlingen, Germany, for a month of training.
"We're going to do not just Made in America, but Made in Manhattan, which is incredible," said Keff, adding that they intend for graduates from the Fashion Institute of Technology "that go to school to learn this and have had no place to go when they graduate" to work in the factory.
