The St. Francis defense had a banner afternoon Saturday in Elmhurst, leading the way to an 18-0 Suburban Christian crossover win over Immaculate Conception.
The Spartans (6-2) held the Knights to 101 yards of total offense, forced 15 negative plays from scrimmage, recovered two fumbles and added a safety for good measure.
"It's a great team effort on both sides of the ball," linebacker Jeff Rutkowski said. "Our blitzes off the outside were getting there, and our coverage was right today."
The Spartans got on the board on their second drive of the game when Dan Beck ran for an 8-yard score on fourth-and-goal to cap a seven-play, 61-yard drive. Jack Petrando added a 21-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. He finished with 156 rushing yards.
"I had huge holes to run behind, but what was more impressive was our defensive effort," Petrando said.
The defense highlighted its superb performance with a fourth-quarter safety when a swarm of Spartans, led by Rutkowski, stopped Knights quarterback Demetrius Carr for a loss on a sneak from his own 1-yard line.
Immaculate Conception (5-3) didn't reach the red zone until the fourth quarter, long after the game was well in hand.
"There's no better time to peak," said Rutkowski, alluding to the state playoffs that begin in two weeks. "We're going to make a run."
Player of the game: St. Francis defense, 15 negative plays forced, 6 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, safety.
Key performers: St. Francis — Jack Petrando, 156 rushing yards, TD; Jeff Rutkowski, 2 sacks; 41 rushing yards; Immaculate Conception — Demetrius Carr, 7-for-13, 77 yards.

A funeral Mass has begun in Michigan for former Rep. John Dingell, the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history.
The service began late Tuesday morning in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. Former Vice President Joe Biden is expected to speak at the service honoring Dingell, who died Thursday at age 92.
The funeral began following a brief delay because of snow and icy roads in the region. Police officers have been shoveling snow outside the church and helping people inside.
Other dignitaries and constituents are also attending, including Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Rep. Brenda Lawrence.
The funeral Mass for former Rep. John Dingell has been slightly delayed by wintery weather in Michigan.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is expected to speak at the service Tuesday to honor Dingell, the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history. He died Thursday at age 92.
A spokeswoman says Dingell’s wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, says she’s in contact with Army and Navy officials who are transporting members of Congress from Washington to the funeral.
The service is now expected to start at 11:30 a.m., about a half-hour behind schedule.
The funeral is being held in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. Police officers have been shoveling snow outside the church. Icy roads are being reported across the region.
Other dignitaries and constituents have already arrived, including Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Rep. Brenda Lawrence.
Former Vice President Joe Biden will offer remarks at the funeral for John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history.
A Mass is scheduled for Tuesday at Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn, Michigan, five days after Dingell died at his home at age 92. The Michigan Democrat served 59 years in the House, retiring at the end of 2014.
Former constituents and admirers lined up Monday at a performing arts center in Dearborn to pay their respects during a daylong visitation. Dingell’s casket was in a ballroom while oversized photos of his life were displayed in the lobby.
Rep. Debbie Dingell stayed to greet everyone throughout the day. She was elected to her husband’s seat in 2014.
There will be a second funeral Mass on Thursday in Washington.

As you continue to contemplate the concept of living wholeheartedly, there is a sense that you are beginning to realise that this isn’t some new age mumbo jumbo, but it’s a genuine opportunity for you to see your life from a new perspective in order to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the things you do that nurture you and the things that don’t. Living wholeheartedly is about living in accordance to your heart and soul, it’s a willingness to turn within to look at yourself, and your choices, with honesty and openness. It’s also a willingness to live life fully and consciously. As a realist, you often tire of such things, after all, ‘back in the real world’ there are bills to pay and things to do, but living wholeheartedlyisback in the real world, in fact, you can’t really get much more real!

ANAT’s 1990 National Summer School in Computer Aided Art, Design and Manufacture, held at and supported by the Advanced Technology Education Centre (ATEC), Regency College of TAFE in Adelaide, attracted the participation of 19 artists from around Australia, an increase of the twelve who attended the inaugural school in 1989.
ANAT applied to various sources of the funding of the ATEC tuition fees, facilities hire, participants travelling expenses, and tuition fees and travelling costs for the specialist workshop tutors. Funding was sought from state arts, cultural, employment, education and training departments. ANAT received funds from the South Australian Department for the Arts ($2,000), the Western Australian Department for the Arts ($2,000), and the Department of Employment, Training, Technical & Further Education ($2,900). City Art Institute and the Canberra Institute of Art, the Queensland Arts Division and the Tasmanian Arts Advisory Board all provided substantial funds to individual artists to participate in the school. There was a general increase in funding and support for the Second Summer School, which we expect to increase each year.
63% of the participants have undertaken further education and/or training in areas including computer graphics, CADCAM, video animation, 2D/3D/4D design and application systems, graphic design, fabric design, textiles, new media, television production, computer generated holographic imagery and graphic art.
36% of the artists were also educators, and are actively introducing more students to the use of computers in an artistic context. To this end, they are encouraging and informing their host institutions with regard to the acquisition of appropriate hardware and software.
The schools have prompted 15% of the participants to undergo further research into such areas as the effects o new technology on design and art practice, the application of numerically controlled machines to art forms such as holography, and video/image input and output devices.
42% of the artists have secured employment opportunities as a result of skills, training and knowledge gained at the Summer Schools, including several commissions for sculptures utilising laser-cut patterns, production and design of furniture and value added goods, agents for design systems, studio craftsperson responsible for establishing a new hardware and software system for the textile department of a university, commission for promotional video for a resource seminar on the uses of multimedia tools in education, and starting a business as consultants on programming, graphics, electronic networking and video production and post-production.
Many individuals have exhibited creative works produced on high technology systems following their time at the Schools. An exhibition of 1990 Summer School work has been displayed at Adelaide University’s Union Gallery. Several of the Artists have presented major exhibitions of works generated entirely by the computer systems they were introduced to at the schools. During AUSGRAPH in September, ANAT will present an exhibition of works at the Linden Gallery in Melbourne created by past Summer School students, and again, generated entirely by high technology systems.
All of the participating artists have stated that the Summer Schools have informed their artistic practice and many have described the knowledge, techniques, skills and networks developed through their participation as invaluable and revolutionary. Participation in the Summer Schools and the acquisition of skills and knowledge has in many cases empowered them in such a way as to have increased their ability to affect the economic mainstream, as artists.
The 1989 and 1990 Summer Schools have effectively served as a catalyst for action.

A decade is a long time, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. A lot can change in a decade, even though it seems to happen in fast-forward mode, like a time-lapse video. This often leaves people with a nagging sense that they need to update some things. Maybe it’s their estate plan or their insurance coverages? But in my experience, for every one thing you can think of that needs to get updated, there are likely five to seven things that you probably would update if you had time to think about it.
Whitnell’s commitment to producing thought leadership materials stretches back several years now. The Whitnell Way is one example of how we share ideas with our clients and the wider market. But it’s not the only way – especially now that Brian Henderson is a published author on Forbes.com.
I know it might sound strange for me to say that you shouldn’t focus on money. Of course, I’m not saying that you should ignore your finances and hope for the best. That would not be wise. But through my experiences with serving families, something has become very clear to me. Wealth is a means to an end – living a great life.
Families work hard to build wealth, not for the sake of achieving some number on a balance sheet. They want the wealth to support their family life. As a family’s wealth grows, it is easy to get consumed by the numbers from taxes to balance sheets to interest income, etc. There comes a point where it may be a good time to take a step back and reflect on the why – your family purpose – to assess whether your wealth and hard work is helping you to achieve a greater purpose.
Over the last few years, I've begun to work with more private equity entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and business executives. I really enjoy working with these people because they are so bold and willing to take risks. These individuals live and breathe the American Dream every day. They put it all on the line.
Yet I've also noticed that their penchant for risk-taking sometimes hurts them when they miscalculate an opportunity. Private equity entrepreneurs are willing to take huge risks because they know that's how they'll realize huge rewards. But this mindset can be a hindrance to building and preserving long-term wealth.
We all have to take risks to achieve rewards. But it’s essential to fully evaluate the opportunity while being realistic about best-case and worst-case scenarios. The key is to take the right risks at the right time. When we take the wrong risks, or take reasonable risks at the wrong time, we diminish the likelihood of achieving our goals. Here are lessons I've learned about risk-taking from working closely with private equity entrepreneurs.
While there are many strategies that can be put in place to preserve multi-generational wealth, here is what I’ve learned after so many years of serving affluent families. There are two critical factors that will have a greater influence on this goal than anything else: recognizing tipping points and viewing family wealth as an enterprise. The surprising thing is that neither of these are strategies, per se. They are both about mindset, about taking a certain perspective. Let me explain.
“Family offices” are often thought of as the domain of the ultra-affluent. When people think of a family office, they often envision a team of highly skilled people, such as lawyers, CPAs and investment advisors, serving a single prominent American family, such as the Rockefellers.
While this has been the common perception over the last several decades, a new trend is emerging. This trend is designed to serve a changing demographic. During the Baby Boomer and Gen X generations, the US witnessed a proliferation of wealth unlike ever before.
Whitnell is pleased to announce that Robert Legan is now leading the Family Office Service team. His background in working with ultra-affluent families made him the obvious choice for this role. For those who may not be aware, the Family Office Service team at Whitnell works with a select group of ultra-affluent families who have complex financial needs.
I read an interesting statistic the other day, although I did find it somewhat disturbing. According to the Exit Planning Institute’s Readiness Survey (2013), 75% of business owners “profoundly regretted” selling their business 12 months after the deal. To me, this is very sad to hear. I’m privileged to work with a select group of entrepreneurs and I know how much passion and energy they bring to their businesses. They pour their lives into these enterprises.
They look forward to the day when all of their hard work will culminate in a transfer of equity to someone else. But all too often, that moment is followed by disappointment. Why?
As I watched the Super bowl recently, I was reminded of different teams I played on growing up. In team sports, there are certain fundamental principles that come to life. Teamwork prevails over a star player. Execution matters more than raw talent. Experience comes with age. Defense wins championships.
But the football season is now over and baseball is just around the corner. Not everyone finds baseball exciting, but I find myself exhilarated by the looming start of the season. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I’m a lifelong Cubs fan and we have a lot to be excited about.
I’ve had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs to transition their business to others, and I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Many business owners may be unprepared to transfer their business when the time comes to sell. This not only delays the liquidity event, it can also have a material negative impact on the value of the business.
If you are a business owner over the age of 40, I’d like to give you some key insights to think about now so you can start to prepare for your business transfer. Even if you think this may not happen for another decade, these insights will help you be ready when the time comes.
How Might These Benefit Your Situation?
Interest rates are still pretty attractive compared to previous decades. In fact, today’s low interest rates provide some opportunities that may not come around again for a very long time, potentially in our lifetimes. What seems certain, at this point, is that interest rates will not remain low forever – in fact, they could start to trend higher yet this year.
This raises some important questions. How can one take advantage of low interest rates? What strategies might work for your goals? What steps might you take now that might not be available or attractive in the coming months and years? Will you miss out on some great opportunities?
Many successful private businesses are owned and managed by a limited number of partners. Sometimes these partners are family members or life-long friends. Other times the business partnerships formed after trusted working relationships were fostered. But I’ve noticed a dangerous trend in these types of businesses.
It seems many closely-held, privately owned businesses do not have formal agreements in place to protect the business owners from unforeseen circumstances that could dramatically impact them and their families. A high degree of personal trust and loyalty, handshake agreements, seem to suffice between partners. I believe this is a mistake. I’d like to share my perspectives with you.
The holiday season is here in force. I feel it and I’m sure you do too. This is a wonderful time of year. But I sometimes wish there were 62 days in December instead of only 31 days. I know it’s the holiday season because of what happens with my clients. The busy executives and business owners that I’m privileged to serve are often so busy during the year that I have to schedule meetings months in advance. The pace of work and life leaves them with little time for anything else.
But during the holidays, somewhere around the third week of December, things start to change. People slow down a bit. They take time off from work and spend it with family. They relax and just breathe.
For family-owned businesses, especially those families where children are involved in the business, the retirement of the business founder can be a real conundrum. There are so many issues to sort through. Some of these issues are financial or business-related. But other issues are unique to family-planning and caring for loved ones.
My son’s t-ball team recently won the championship in the Oak Park, Illinois youth baseball league. Over the course of the season, we experienced many highs and lows. That’s the nature of coaching 5, 6 and 7-year olds. I witnessed joys and agonies among these young competitors who are just learning to deal with life’s ups and downs.
In my last article, I stated that a great financial team includes a wealth manager, CPA and estate attorney. The reason you need this team is because success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. Even those who earn a high income may not achieve their wealth goals unless they have the right team guiding them.
Success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. Just because someone earns a high income, owns a lot of assets, holds equity in a private business or has a large portfolio – this does not always mean that they’ll achieve their wealth goals. To achieve the goals that matter most to you regarding your wealth, you need a team of experts who work together to address a wide range of issues including financial planning, taxes, retirement, cash-flow, estate planning, asset protection and even charitable giving.
When I meet with business owners, it seems they want to talk primarily about their investment portfolio. What I often discover, however, is that their current investment portfolio is a fraction of their potential net worth, unless they’ve already had a liquidity event and sold their business.
Sooner or later most senior executives consider switching to another company. Exciting new opportunities pose increases in career satisfaction and work-life balance. But when it comes to comparing the executive compensation packages and figuring out if you are better off leaving or staying – based on economics alone – it can be very tough to make an apples-to-apples comparison.

the holiday season is here in force. i feel it and i’m sure you do too. this is a wonderful time of year. but i sometimes wish there were 62 days in december instead of only 31 days. i know it’s the holiday season because of what happens with my clients. the busy executives and business owners that i’m privileged to serve are often so busy during the year that i have to schedule meetings months in advance. the pace of work and life leaves them with little time for anything else.
but during the holidays, somewhere around the third week of december, things start to change. people slow down a bit. they take time off from work and spend it with family. they relax and just breathe.
for family-owned businesses, especially those families where children are involved in the business, the retirement of the business founder can be a real conundrum. there are so many issues to sort through. some of these issues are financial or business-related. but other issues are unique to family-planning and caring for loved ones.
my son’s t-ball team recently won the championship in the oak park, illinois youth baseball league. over the course of the season, we experienced many highs and lows. that’s the nature of coaching 5, 6 and 7-year olds. i witnessed joys and agonies among these young competitors who are just learning to deal with life’s ups and downs.
in my last article, i stated that a great financial team includes a wealth manager, cpa and estate attorney. the reason you need this team is because success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. even those who earn a high income may not achieve their wealth goals unless they have the right team guiding them.
success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. just because someone earns a high income, owns a lot of assets, holds equity in a private business or has a large portfolio – this does not always mean that they’ll achieve their wealth goals. to achieve the goals that matter most to you regarding your wealth, you need a team of experts who work together to address a wide range of issues including financial planning, taxes, retirement, cash-flow, estate planning, asset protection and even charitable giving.
when i meet with business owners, it seems they want to talk primarily about their investment portfolio. what i often discover, however, is that their current investment portfolio is a fraction of their potential net worth, unless they’ve already had a liquidity event and sold their business.
sooner or later most senior executives consider switching to another company. exciting new opportunities pose increases in career satisfaction and work-life balance. but when it comes to comparing the executive compensation packages and figuring out if you are better off leaving or staying – based on economics alone – it can be very tough to make an apples-to-apples comparison.

This is truly the best choice in the mobile publishing world, believe me! "

Five students share a room at a college hostel. Two of them decide to move out and stay in a private room for their unique, weird problem.
When I was doing my bachelors, my maternal uncle used to stay close to our house.
He had a 5 year old son – lets call him PK. Every Sunday, PK used to come to our house to study. I was given the task of tutoring him.
PK used to write with his left-hand, which was frowned upon by all the elders – my elder brother, my parents and even PK’s parents.
Poor kid PK! He used to really struggle – both physically and mentally – to “fit in” the majority social structure.
Whatever is the minority in the society – left-handedness or mental illness or queerness – it is always frowned upon, looked down upon.
As if these minors are responsible for their so-called “defects”.
Room-Mate is a satirical take on this social mentality towards the minority.
It is a very short film and hence talking much about it would be giving away the suspense.
The end is really funny – but more importantly – thought provoking.
It is a story of Antony and his room-mate, who are students living at a hostel.
Both of them face social outcasting by the others in subtle forms – be it eve-teasing or being the fun-topic among friends or taking videos of the two and making them public.
Both Antony and his roommate hence take the decision to move out of the hostel and stay in a private room.
Social outcasting makes any person loose self-confidence. The person begins to doubt oneself.
What if there is indeed a “defect” in me?
What if this thing is indeed a “disease”?
The person internally goes through lot of mental torture – anxiety, nervousness, embarrassment, guilt and shame.
All this might easily lead to feeling of self-hatred.
The relationship between Antony and his room-mate is delightfully portrayed.
Both of them feel so relaxed when around each other. They share their inner feelings comfortably with each other. They are connected by their “defect”, by their misfortune.
The story and the direction is really tight and crisp.
A beautiful, melodious song in the middle adds to the cinematic effect aptly.
There is small mention of handicapped people in between – which I felt was in a bad taste.
They could have easily avoided it and taken some other example – like left-handed people – to make their point.

Dry skin can affect any part of your body. It commonly affects hands, arms, and legs. In many cases, lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers may be all you need to treat it. If those treatments aren’t enough, you should contact your doctor.
Exposure to dry weather conditions, hot water, and certain chemicals can cause your skin to dry out. Dry skin can also result from underlying medical conditions.
Dermatitisis the medical term for extremely dry skin. There are several different types of dermatitis.
Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches, causing localized inflammation.
Irritant contact dermatitis can occur when your skin’s exposed to an irritating chemical agent, such as bleach.
Allergic contact dermatitis can develop when your skin is exposed to a substance you’re allergic to, such as nickel.
Seborrheic dermatitisoccurs when your skin produces too much oil. It results in a red and scaly rash, usually on your scalp. This type of dermatitis is common in infants.
Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It’s a chronic skin condition that causes dry scaly patches to appear on your skin. It’s common among young children.
Other conditions, such as psoriasis and type 2 diabetes, can also cause your skin to dry out.
Age. Older adults are more likely to develop dry skin. As you age, your pores naturally produce less oil, raising your risk of dry skin.
Medical history. You’re more likely to experience eczema or allergic contact dermatitis if you have a history of these conditions or other allergic diseases in your family.
Season. Dry skin is more common during the fall and winter months, when humidity levels are relatively low. In the summer, higher levels of humidity help stop your skin from drying out.
Bathing habits. Taking frequent baths or washing with very hot water raises your risk of dry skin.
Your doctor’s recommended treatment plan will depend on the cause of your dry skin.
In some cases, they may refer you to a skin specialist or dermatologist. Along with lifestyle remedies, they may recommend over-the-counter or prescription ointments, creams, or lotions to treat your symptoms.
It’s also important to choose the right kind of moisturizer for your skin type. If your skin is extremely dry, look for a petrolatum-based product.
You might consider switching to a lighter, water-based lotion during the summer months if your skin becomes less dry then. Lotions that contain grapeseed oil and antioxidants can also help trap water in your skin.
If you experience occasional dry skin, you can likely prevent and treat it using simple lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers. If you develop severe dry skin, make an appointment with your doctor.
If left untreated, dermatitis can get worse. Early treatment will help you to feel comfortable sooner. It will also lower your risk of complications, such as open wounds from scratching and skin infections.

No cigarette manufacturer is going to see a bright side to going dark but Ian Hughes, affinity development manager for specialist insurance brokers Bluefin, is positively upbeat about it.
He says that going dark reduces sales on average by 5%. But using the space effectively can result in higher margins.
If you can afford a single dispense unit such as Cherwell’s, only one pack at a time can be accessed – and that goes for the crooks too. They’ll be there all night trying to pinch the goods. So overnight security is vastly improved. And with an overhead gantry system such as Expottuto’s Servertab, you have all that space that the old gantry took up to display better margin lines.
Bluefin is currently negotiating with insurers to reduce premiums for those who take suchmeasures.
I know Ian Hughes is Mr. Insurance, but his points are very good: the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors etc, just want to sell more ciggies. None of them consider security as part of the mix.

Arthur Saunders and Hazel Wheeler Crouch Hawkes: After the power plant at the mouth of American Fork Canyon began operations in 1907 there were a lot of Power Plant Operators who came to Highland but stayed only briefly. Arthur Hawkes was one of those, arriving in 1936 but not heard of or mentioned again. They must have lived at the power plant (#71) since there were four homes there.
Arthur was born February 20, 1898, in Park City, Utah to Samuel Mercer and Emilie Marie Andrasen Jule Hawkes. Hazel was born July 24, 1904, in Fremont, Idaho to John Henry and Almira Wilson Crouch. They were married September 10, 1920, in Fremont, Idaho and had two children: Deon Lucille and Donald Thomas.
In 1920, 1930 and 1935 they were living in Fremont, Idaho and in 1940 in Pleasant View, Utah. In 1942 when Arthur registered for the WWII draft they were living in Provo and he was working for Utah Power and Light. Arthur died June 10, 1969, in Salt Lake City and Hazel died October 16, 1987, also in Salt Lake City and they are buried in the Brigham City Cemetery.

Technological change has always posed a challenge for companies. But, as we saw once again in 2015, it has never occurred as rapidly, or on as large a scale, as today. As innovation sweeps across virtually every sector, from heavy industry to services, it is transforming the competitive landscape, with the most advanced companies—rather than the largest or most established players—coming out on top.
For incumbents, the threat of displacement is very real. The average tenure of a company on the S&P 500 has fallen from 90 years in 1935 to less than 18 years today. Disruptive new players like Uber, which has upended the taxi industry, are tough competitors, often staking out market share by shifting more surplus to consumers. This is part of a broader trend of intensifying competition that, according to recent research from the McKinsey Global Institute, could reduce the global after-tax profit pool from almost 10% of global GDP today to its 1980 level of about 7.9% within a decade.
The effect of technology on competition arises largely from the power of digital platforms and network effects. New digital platforms reduce marginal costs (the cost of producing additional units of a good or service) to nearly zero. Adding, say, a Google Maps user carries negligible costs, because the service relies on GPS location data that is already stored on a user’s phone. This allows Google to scale incredibly quickly, and then to leverage this scale (and the convenience of having a single platform) to move into adjacent sectors—such as music (Google Play), payment (Google Wallet), and word processing (Google Docs). In this manner, tech firms can quickly come to challenge incumbents in seemingly unrelated industries.
Of course, tech firms are not the only ones innovating. A handful of leading firms in practically every industry are deploying digital technology in increasingly sophisticated ways—and seeing huge benefits. The use of sensors to monitor livestock, for example, has far-reaching implications for the food industry.
But the most digitally advanced sectors show the greatest progress. Indeed, over the past 20 years, profit margins in these tech-infused sectors have grown two-three times faster, on average, than in the rest of the economy. Even within the most advanced sectors, there is a yawning gap between the top-performing companies and the rest of the pack. For example, the retail offerings of digitally advanced multinational banks far outstrip those of local credit unions.
As technology transforms business models and processes, it is also changing the way employees work. Recent McKinsey research finds that already-proven technologies could automate as much as 45% of the tasks individuals are currently paid to perform. In the US alone, that is the equivalent of about $2 trillion in annual wages.
The potential benefits of this transformation for companies extend far beyond cost savings, as workers gain time to pursue more valuable tasks involving critical thinking and creativity. Financial advisers can spend less time analysing financials and more time developing solutions that meet clients’ needs. Or interior decorators can shift their attention from taking measurements to devising design concepts, meeting with clients, or sourcing materials.
Technology also allows companies to rethink conventional wisdom on organizational design and governance. New information-sharing technologies deliver greater transparency, making organizations more efficient and, in many cases, less hierarchical.
For example, the CEOs of Apple, Inditex (a multinational clothing company) and Zappos (a large online retailer) have adopted broad spans of control (the number of subordinates directly reporting to a manager) that far exceed the traditional model of “one to four to eight". Haier, the Chinese white-goods manufacturer, reorganized its 80,000-person workforce into 2,000 independent units, each responsible for managing its own profits and losses. Since the move, its market capitalization has soared, tripling from 2011 to 2014.
Moreover, digitization allows companies to operate as “platforms", not structures, and make greater use of resources outside their company. Insurance company Allstate used the crowdsourcing platform Kaggle to invite programmers to develop a new car accident injury algorithm; the eventual “winner" was 271% more accurate than its existing model.
Likewise, China’s DJI became the world’s largest drone manufacturer by focusing on its products’ core technology, while giving away developer kits for free online so that others could build apps. This approach meant that DJI’s drones were equipped with attractive features far earlier than competitors’ products, which relied on in-house app development.
Similar technology-driven innovations in thought processes and business models can be seen across the economy, reflected in changes in companies’ planning processes. Some have begun creating separate business plans with two-month and 20-year views, reallocating their resources more aggressively, and using new analytical techniques to identify, attract, develop and retain talent.
Technological innovation enables—indeed, requires—companies to boost their agility and thus their competitiveness. That’s why CEOs’ top priorities in 2016 should be to digitize the core components of their business and rethink organizational design and governance processes. Catching this fast-moving—and rapidly growing—“digital wave" is the only way to avoid getting left behind.

In the dead heat of summer, few things sound as good as an ice cream cone, sundae, or frozen yogurt. If a summer treat company has a cool, refreshing cafe logo, they can be sure that their parlors will be full during the warm weather months. Here are some ice cream and frozen yogurt shop logos from well-known establishments that entice customers with their use of color, shape, and image.
This well known national chain has one key brand element that is represented in their logo: their offering of thirty-one flavors. Their logo is in a blue and pink color meant to appeal to the young and the young at heart, while the thick, slightly tilted letters also convey a child-like image. In a clever way, the B and R that are the store’s initials also make a ‘31’, which refers to the store’s number of available flavors. This logo is well-recognized throughout the United States and even the world, making it an effective branding element. Read about the Baskin Robins logo makeover.
This fast food establishment offers a full line of foods but is best known for their ice cream treats. The logo is not just an eye-catching red, but in the shape of lips. The arc-like waves are not just a symbol of movement and change; the orange wave above the lettering represents the company’s hot foods, while the blue wave below represents the cold treats. These tie into the company tagline: Hot Eats, Cool Treats. The change in branding from Dairy Queen to DQ is also reflected in this branding, as the company’s initials are front and center in an italicized font.
This logo avoids the cute and childish, instead presenting the brand as a grown-up treat that people of all ages can enjoy. The black, gold, and white color palette is sophisticated, while the banner like shape of the logo suggests quality and excellence. The letters are bold with serifs, making the company appear large and substantial. However, the logo has small imperfections that make it appear homemade, hinting at the artisanal nature of the ice cream.
This ice cream shop is a current favorite due to the almost infinite number of flavor combinations that customers can custom create. The logo has a classic color scheme for casual restaurants: red and yellow. The writing is bold with serifs, but there are a few swirls and long serifs to add interest. An inclusive circle holds a swirling ice cream cone in one of the chain’s signature waffle cones. This logo might be more personal to the company if it somehow—outside of the name, that is—communicated the aspect that makes the company so popular—the cold stone slab on which the ice cream is mixed.
This ice cream store promises the country’s best yogurt, but the logo screams traditional ice cream shop. From the red lettering to the thick letters to the ice cream cone beside the name, this logo incorporates many elements that are generally seen in establishments offering less healthy treats. Because most frozen yogurt buyers want a frozen treat that tastes like traditional ice cream without the drawbacks, this similarity to other logos may be one successful part of the branding.
This frozen yogurt shop has gained quite a following despite being located in only a few cities, partially due to the healthier nature of its products. The less sweetened yogurt is tangier than the average frozen treat and a variety of healthy toppings such as fresh fruit and granola are available for the health conscious consumer to choose from. The logo shows this value with a primarily green color, as this is a hue generally associated with plants and healthy foods. The image to the right of the words features the pink berry for which the chain is named, in a round, friendly shape.
This ice cream is different from others because it is deep frozen into tiny balls that melt into ice cream as they are eaten. The logo is in soft, pastel colors with casual lower case writing. Pastel dots refer to the nature of the product while also forming a friendly, inclusive circle. The tagline is written at the bottom: ‘the ice of the future’. It is impossible to look at this logo and not understand that this ice cream is different from the competition, making it a clear winner.
This regional ice cream chain offers the same playful blue and pink color scheme as many other frozen treat shops, but with a key difference. The colors are used as outlining on otherwise white letters that are in a thick, traditional font with serifs. To the right is a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles arcing toward it in a wave-like shape that connotes movement and growth. Because this company is constantly growing and offering new products and locations, this is a very appropriate image.
This ice cream shop offers the familiar pink and blue colors, but in a circular shape that is friendly and inviting. The cow that is the central character of the store is in the center of the circle smiling. The playful lettering appeals to children and families, while the use of a character is a good branding move for these audiences as well. The use of ‘treatery’ in the name rather than ‘eatery’ is a play on words that makes the store all the more inviting.
Like Dairy Queen and other ice cream stores, Foster’s Freeze offers a full line of fast food products. However, the company focus is on the ice cream as well as the general retro experience of the store. The logo retains the inviting fifties image with old-fashioned cursive writing while the wording ‘old fashion’ further portray’s this image. The ice cream cone character resembles the soft serve cone that is the establishment’s best known product, while adding more retro charm. The deep blue color palette is cool and inviting.

lol with the leightons: New Year? New Rule.
I made up a “new rule” for our Casa. For, specifically, My Sweet Hubby (MSH).
If you’re going to tell me to read an article you found in the newspaper? You have to have read it first. All of it.
For the one-millionth time, MSH, (and, actually, TLC), I am not a hoarder. Pack Rat? Possibly. Certainly not a hopeless one. Let’s say I’m a Sorta-Semi-Pack-Rat, okay?
I asked MSH if he’d read the article. No, he said. I didn’t.
He was promptly informed about the NEW RULE.
Since it’s a New Year? This, I believe, was perfect timing.
