Google’s got a big problem with Android. And if it doesn’t change its ways, it’s going to get worse.
A lot has been written lately about the battle between Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS. These focus mainly (rightly) on the hardware and software differences, as well as differences in model, and indeed philosophy. However, conventional wisdom seems to be that iOS will make the money now, but Android owns the future. As it stands, that is plain wrong.

Offered in LE and XLE grades, the 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid owes its outstanding efficiency to Hybrid Synergy Drive which combines output from the 2.5L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and a small high-torque electric motor. The system varies power between the gasoline engine and electric motor, or combines both, as needed. A 7.6-second zero-to-60 acceleration time places the Camry Hybrid’s performance between the four-cylinder and V6 models. Lower rolling resistance 17-inch size tires also help boost fuel economy.
In pursuit of ultimate efficiency, there are situations in which the gasoline engine shuts off for electric propulsion, while air conditioning and power steering systems are driven electrically. The proven nickel-metal-hydride battery, located in the trunk area, features enhanced air-cooling. Regenerative braking in the Camry Hybrid converts the electric motor to a generator that captures the kinetic energy from the still-turning wheels when the brake is applied, storing it in the hybrid battery pack. Putting the shifter into “B” uses the system as a form of engine braking for enhanced control on steep descents. Hill-start assist control helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting off on an incline when the brake pedal is released.
The Camry Hybrid employs an elegantly simple but modern exterior form, emphasizing a wide, lower stance than previous models. The LE and XLE feature additional exterior chrome trim than the base Camry models. Additionally, fog lights are standard on the XLE grade.
In use since the 2012 model year, the Camry Hybrid’s rigid body structure uses a greater amount of high tensile steel than the previous model and even stronger high tensile strength sheet steel. The McPherson-strut front suspension and proven dual-link rear suspension were tuned to give this generation Camry Hybrid superior straight-line stability and crisper steering response, while also enhancing overall ride comfort.
Inside the passenger cabin, the Camry Hybrid interior emphasizes spaciousness and comfort. Soft textures used on the upper instrument panel, upper door trim, door panels, armrests, and center console armrest contribute to refined comfort. Stitching on the instrument panel soft padding and matching stitching-look trim elsewhere helps to create a sense of luxury. Aluminum-color and chrome trim are used judiciously.
Hybrid-exclusive trim is used on the instrument panel and door switch bases, upper console panels and shift knob. The Camry Hybrid also features its own exclusive seat fabric in ivory or light gray, and an exclusive leather-trimmed and Ultrasuede® is also available.
A Hybrid-exclusive instrument cluster with Hybrid System Indicator and fuel consumption indicator helps the driver to operate the car as economically as possible. Instantaneous fuel economy is shown with LEDs (light emitting diodes) around the outside of the average fuel economy gauge. The car’s Multi-Information display graphically shows fuel economy in real time and can also show energy flow and cruising range information.
The Camry Hybrid also features a standard 60/40 split folding rear seatback to expand cargo capacity, along with a center armrest with cup holders. Toyota made this generation Camry Hybrid the quietest-ever, with a combination of additional insulation placed in areas where such noticeable sounds might enter the cabin. In particular, engineers focused on suppressing noises that are near the frequencies of human speech to provide an environment that is more comfortable for conversation.
Engine: 2.4L four-cylinder (gasoline) – 156 hp at 5,700 rpm and 156 lbs-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm; Permanent Magnet Synchronous (electric) motor – 105 kW at 4,500 rpm and 199 lbs-ft of torque at 0-1,500 rpm; Nickel-Metal Hydride battery pack – 40 hp and 650V.
Dual front airbags, front seat mounted side-impact airbags, dual head curtain side-impact airbags, dual front knee airbags, outboard rear seat mounted side-impact airbags, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, brake assist, electronic brake distribution, traction control, vehicle stability control, smart stop technology, remote keyless entry, battery run-down protection, power automatic door locks, engine immobilizer, tire pressure monitors, daytime running lights, side-impact door beams, alarm system, automatic headlamps, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, push-button engine start, and SmartKey system.
Optional safety features include: HomeLink garage door opener, navigation system, backup camera, blind spot monitor, and Safety Connect (includes emergency assistance, stolen vehicle locator, roadside assistance and automatic collision notification).
The base Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid sedan starts from $26,330 for the LE and $28,625 for the XLE. Destination charges add $810.

To build credibility, advisors should create and publish an article on a topic that’s near and dear to their clients. Here’s how to brainstorm in 30 minutes.
Establishing credibility with your clients, prospects and potential professional business partners is the most effective form of marketing you can do. Building credibility with these groups actually pulls them to you and makes them want to work with you-which means you no longer have to push yourself on people to get new business. One of the most powerful ways to establish credibility is to publish an article that shows your expertise in identifying and solving financial problems your clients face.
If you can show people that your ideas are valuable enough to be in print, they will see you as an expert whom they should work with. And we know from industry research conducted by Russ Alan Prince that expertise is crucial. In fact, 91% of affluent investors said that an advisor’s overall expertise is one of the key factors to consider when deciding whom to work with.
Of course, most financial advisors aren’t professional writers and therefore think it might be challenging to write an article. Certainly you can hire a freelance writer to help you create and position content.
But the fact is, writing an article probably isn’t as challenging as you think it is. In our coaching programs, we offer advice on article writing based on the insights of one of our faculty members, Larry Chambers, who has created a system that can have you creating quality content in around 30 minutes.
1.Name the issue. Start by writing down your client base’s biggest challenge or concern. It might be preserving wealth, achieving a comfortable retirement, minimizing income taxes, taking care of heirs, protecting wealth from lawsuits or any number of key issues that investors today are facing. Don’t overthink it-write down the really big issue that first comes to mind.
If you serve a particular niche, you can identify specific concerns. For example, Aaron Rubin, an advisor with Werba & Davis Advisory Services in San Jose, Calif., identified the key issue facing his niche of senior public accounting partners-downward pressure on incomes-when he recently wrote an article using the process. Also, remember that this article isn’t about you. Don’t write down the biggest challenge you personally face with clients-focus on your clients’ financial concern.
2. Identify the problems. Write down three problems or adverse conditions that result from the main challenge or concern you first identified. The problems should be what you hear your clients talking about all the time, creating anxiety.
Rubin, for example, wrote down that accounting partners have been forced to cut staff, initiate pay cuts and cash out of their businesses at lower valuations than they desire-jeopardizing their retirement prospects in the process. Again, do this process quickly and freely-don’t spend an hour trying to come up with three things.
3. Address the obstacles. Now ask yourself: What are the major obstacles that my clients must overcome (or bypass) to solve the three major problems they’re facing? These might be difficulties approaching the question (as in how they would begin to solve it every day) or tactical obstacles that tend to arise along the way.
For Rubin, the obstacles included CPAs often trying to do all aspects of financial and business planning themselves instead of working collaboratively with other experts. Another obstacle that will likely be present, regardless of the article topic, is finding trustworthy people that investors can work with to help them solve their concerns.
4. Propose the solution. Next, write down the steps that will help your clients reach the ideal outcomes. Quickly write down a word or phrase that describes each step (you can return later and flesh out the content with more detail or add charts and graphs).
This part is relatively easy-it basically will be the same process you use every day to solve these particular problems for your existing clients. You should not offer generic advice, but instead provide solutions that you actually have delivered in these situations.
Depending on how you work, you might provide how-to components of the solution that build on each other, a list of resources or examples of the results of going through the process. At any rate, you should take readers through a sequence of instructions that can help them solve the problem. In Rubin’s case, he spelled out his consultative wealth management process to his readers.
This information will communicate that you have a defined and proven way to address the concern-which in turn will further establish your credibility as a problem-solver. Don’t directly say how wonderful your process or solution is, or build yourself up personally-the reader will assume that since you wrote the article, you can deliver what you describe.
5. Illustrate the issue. Next, think of a personal experience that illustrates the problem your article is focusing on. This experience should be able to evoke both emotion and reason in response to the issue.
You might, for example, describe a hypothetical example of an executive who lost tremendous wealth because of overexposure to his company’s stock-and how much better off he and his family would have been if he had diversified effectively. Using examples like this will establish a strong connection between you and your readers-and put meat on the bones of your article.
A brief story or anecdote from your personal experience can turn a seemingly vague or academic concern into a real-life issue of great importance. Usually this anecdote is best used as the “hook” at the start of an article to draw readers into the broader ideas and solutions you will discuss later on.
That said, it can also make sense to place it at the end of the story-after the solution-as an illustration of what you’ve just discussed. That’s what Rubin decided to do in his article when he profiled a top accountant who put too much of his savings into expensive annuities. Once you have the article assembled, read it a few times to see where the anecdote seems to fit best.
6. Summarize it all. Sum up your conclusion with information readers can use. List some key action steps that you suggest readers take to help them solve this problem in their own lives. One such step might even be: Find a financial advisor who can guide you through the process. The more clearly and forcefully it is stated, the more likely readers will remember your advice and act on it-and the more you’ll appear as an expert on the topic.
Finally, choose a title for the article. If you go back and skim through what you’ve written, you’ll find that a good title will jump out at you.
These six steps should take you anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, and they will result in a strong rough draft, which you can then improve. For example, once you’ve finished an initial draft, read it closely, analyzing your “voice” as well as the actual content. Do you come across as authoritative, decisive, professional and personable? Are your words accessible to the average reader?
Writing in your own voice gives your article energy and verve. This is one way in which writing quickly helps: Your writing will be much more natural and reader-friendly if you let it flow freely instead of stopping after every sentence to see if it’s perfect. You’ll also make a strong impression with an editor as well as with your readers.
Finally, go back the next day and rewrite anything that needs to be finished. If necessary, beef up the article until it’s around 1,000 words or so. You should also enlist someone in your office (or a freelance writer) as a fresh pair of eyes to read your article and make editing suggestions. Then your article will be ready to go.

Dessertbuzz | Best cupcake in New York City: Grub Street says Chikalicious DessertBuzz Agrees!
In a feature on Grub Street, Gramercy Tavern’s Nancy Olsen rated 15 of New York City’s best cupcakes on and rankedDessertBuzz favorite Chikalicious number one. She also rated Kyotofu 3rd which is another DessertBuzz recommendation. Truthfully, whenever I see a list like this, especially one backed with a celebrity name, I always cringe. I feel like these features usually miss some of the best and are far too easy on the most popular places. So kudos to Nancy Olsen for telling it like it is on the weighty subject of the best cupcake in New York.
Olsen’s list lines up with mine pretty damn closely. She is totally spot-on with ButterCup and Billy’s being dry. I have always wondered if the patrons of these places have any idea what a good cupcake tastes like. She did get a few things wrong. I have had the cupcakes at Sugar Sweet Sunshine many times and never found them dry at all so I am not sure where that came from. I have reached out to some of the big cupcakes sites to see what they think. I’ll report back soon.
Chikalicious Dessert Club: The best cupcake in the city?
Magnolia and Crumbs may get the press but its not exactly news that they aren’t the best cupcake in town. New York Magazine named Kyotofu the best cupcake over 2 years ago (I agreed). Since then there have been other “alternative cupcakes” such as Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Royale Bakery. I would like to introduce 2 more possible claimants to the cupcake throne: One is very well known: Chikalicious Dessert Club and one that is off the beaten path (at least for now), Sweet Revenge.
The truth is I don’t really like regular cupcakes. They’re overly sweet, often dry and the frosting is granular and nasty. But the triple chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganche filling from Chikalicious Dessert Club is really more than a cupcake. It’s a dessert (you can’t easily make it at home). Its got both a unique frosting and filling that differentiate it from its peers. The Ganache filling isn’t just some over-sweet chocolate colored paste. It actually tastes like real chocolate. It’s hard to “one-up” the triple chocolate unless you like marshmallow. In that case just order the S’mores cupcake with chocolate filling and toasted house made marshmallow topping. The S’mores cupcake is basically a freshly toasted campfire marshmallow on top of a fresh baked cupcake with chocolate inside.
These cupcakes don’t belong in the same category as the ones from Crumbs or Magnolia. They are moist, perfectly crafted and have all kinds of textures going on. The care that goes into these cupcakes is evident in how they look.
Chikalicious Dessert Club’s website is here.

93,001 Reasons to Order Your Nursing License Plate Now!
The Virginia Nurses Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of a Virginia license plate honoring and supporting the important work of nurses in our Commonwealth. And we’ve got 93,001 reasons why you will want to order yours!
The Mississippi Nurses Foundation recently awarded $93,000 in nursing scholarships, all from license plate revenue! Their program has been in place since 2003, but we’re confident we can realize similarly impressive revenue. By ordering a nursing license plate, you will be supporting the Virginia Nurses Foundation and our growing scholarship program.
The one other reason? They look great! Who wouldn’t want one?
How does VNF receive funding?
We are fewer than 150 orders away from our goal of 1000 plates. After we reach this goal, the Virginia Nurses Foundation will receive $15 dollars from each plate fee. This funding will support our scholarships and nursing education initiatives.
How do I order a plate?
Our plate is now available to order on the DMV's website!
How much is the nurse license plate?
The cost is $25 for regular plates and $35 for personalized plates.
Can my family and friends purchase a nursing car license plate if they are not a nurse?
YES! Anyone can purchase the license plate. You do not need to be a nurse to purchase the license plate.
What is my liability for rendering emergency care if I have a nurse plate?
The nursing license plate renders NO liability to a nurse in any circumstance. If a nurse has a nurse’s license plate, the nurse is not obligated to stop.

Let’s take a practical example of spread to see how it works.
The bid price (an assumed one) of a stock of Company M – $100.
The ask price (also an assumed one) of a stock of Company M – $102.
= $102 – $100 = $2.
As per Tim, the spread of a stock of Company M is $2.
If you want to make your mark as an investor, you need to know the basics of stock trading. Spread is a concept that every investor needs to understand.
When a stock is sold, it has two parties – buyers and sellers. The buyers tell the sellers that they are ready to pay a price for the stock. We call it a ‘bid price’. The sellers also tell the buyers that they can sell the stock at a price. The price sellers ask is always a little higher than the price buyers are ready to pay. The price sellers ask for a stock is called an ‘ask price’.
In the bid-ask formula, we find out the difference between the price the sellers ask and the price the buyers bid for.
We can see from the bid-ask example of Reliance Industries. For a buy quantity of 47, the bid price is 925.25, whereas, the ask price is 925.30. Bid-Ask = 925.30 – 925.25 = 0.05.
As an investor, you may ask – why the sellers always ask for the higher price of a stock. It is because they keep a little profit for themselves. But that’s not the only thing that’s included in the ‘ask price’.
Along with the commission of the broker, the spread also includes a number of fees.
Let us now do the same example above in Excel.
This is very simple. You need to provide the two inputs of Ask price of a stock and Bid price of the same stock.
You can easily find out the spread of the stock of Company M in the template provided.
This has been a guide to bid-ask spread formula, Bid-Ask Spread calculator of the bid-ask spread, along with examples and excel templates. You may also look at the following articles to enhance your investing skills.

As we kick off a new school year, we offer best wishes to all students, educators, administrators, parents, and stakeholders for a successful year.
Each day the lives that you touch, the minds that you shape and the time that you give make a difference for the future of our state. Thank you for all that you do for the current and future workforce; no matter if it is with career exposure in elementary school or advanced skills in postsecondary, every aspect is vital to an individual’s career path.
Check out just of few of the pathways of success CareerTech educators have provided for individuals as featured in our CareerTech Champions.
THEN: A class dedicated to topics like sports marketing and fashion marketing sounded exciting to the Putnam City North High School student. Emma Hutchison had also heard great things about the DECA advisers at her high school and the strong reputation of their marketing program.
Public speaking skills, which she uses almost daily, both in law classes and advocacy competitions.
An opportunity to travel and meet DECA members from around the world.
“I am more confident talking to professors or interviewing for positions because of my experience addressing the Oklahoma DECA membership and staff,” she said.
Emma said CareerTech is unique in that students are learning material in class and applying it outside of the classroom at competitions and other activities.
NOW: A college graduate with a B.A. in political science from the University of Oklahoma. She is a law student at George Washington University Law School and plans to practice law in the D.C. area after graduation. Her resume since high school includes serving as an intern for the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma, an Appropriations Committee intern for the Oklahoma Senate, a legislative intern for the U.S. Senate and a law clerk for the National Association of Attorneys General.
“I would advise young people to take advantage of opportunities early in high school and college to get hands-on experience and gain skills you can use to make yourself stand out as a candidate,” she said.
THEN: A high school dropout, living on her own by the time she was 14 years old. Shawnquise Gatewood was incarcerated on drug-related charges and spent several years at Mabel Bassett Correctional Center. There she decided she wanted something better for her life and enrolled in the Skills Center’s transportation, distribution and logistics program. She also participated in CareerTech’s Employment Strategies for Re-entry workshop.
How to operate a forklift.
How to present herself to an employer, including how to answer felony questions on applications and in interviews.
NOW: Initially hired as a forklift operator, Shawnquise was recently promoted to machine operator at AAD/Flanders in Ardmore, Oklahoma. She says the promotion was due to her work skills and attendance. She received her high school equivalency diploma and says she is looking forward to a successful life outside prison walls.
THEN: A boy who loved creating crazy buildings and dragons and spaceships from a pile of Legos. Adam Lettkeman grew up with 10 brothers and sisters. His parents homeschooled him until he was old enough to find a formal outlet for his love of building things, along with his passion for graphic design. He enrolled in Meridian Technology Center’s pre-engineering academy and Project Lead The Way in hopes of channeling his interests into a career path.
Helped him choose architecture as his career path.
Fueled his love for creating things, from circuit boards to buildings.
Helped him adjust to a classroom setting for the first time and prepared him for college class work.
Offered advance math and science classes that he said were more rigorous than some of his college courses.
Introduced him to 3D modeling software programs, which are a huge part of his architecture design studios in college.
NOW: Adam has completed his first three years of a five-year architecture program at Oklahoma State University. He is interning at Guernsey, an Oklahoma City architecture firm, and will take time out from his internship to study in Europe with the OSU College of Architecture. His goal is to work in New York City next summer, accumulating additional internship hours that will apply to his architecture licensure requirements.

Remember those days when you had flip phones? LG wants to bring them back not in a new way but by building on its own Wine lineup of flip phones. They are adding a “Smart” model to the Wine lineup that will run on Android and will fondly remind us of a route Samsung took not long ago with the Galaxy Golden.
The Wine Smart ((LG-F480) is meant for the elderly (clearly, who else would be this nostalgic as to want a flip phone?) as there’s an equivalent of panic button functionality on the device that is mimicked by “Safe Keeper”, a feature that will alert people selected by the user of the device if it goes unused for a set period. It also has a dedicated key for social app Kakao Talk which is quite popular in the market where the device is launching, Korea.
Of course a device of this nature won’t have any of the specifications that will make the usual Android device lover drool but they are enough to impress the intended market. A 3.5 inch (480×320) LCD panel will make up the display while an 8 megapixel camera is all they’ll (users) have for taking snaps alongside a VGA cam for selfies and video calls. 1 GB of RAM, a quad-core 1.2 GHz chip, 4 GB internal memory and a 1700 mAh battery sums up the notable specs on the device. LTE, Wi-FI, Bluetooth, a microUSB port and FM radio are the others. Oh, and it runs Android KitKat.
It will be available in black and white starting next week (the 26th) in Korea and there’s word that it could eventually show up in some markets though I wouldn’t count on that a lot.

Psiphon allows the users to access the blocked sites in the countries where the internet contents are censored. Psiphon is one of the amazing anti-censorship tools that are designed especially for the people who are living in the restrictive countries across the globe to access open internet content. Latest Psiphon 3 app is achieved with the combination of the Virtual Private Network (VPN), Secure Shell (SSH) and HTTP Proxy technology. Therefore, this circumvention tool utilizes the VPN, HTTP Proxy and SSH technology for providing uncensored access to the Internet content instantly. Psiphon user can easily learn the new access point and maximize the chances for bypassing the censorship. Psiphon 3 is the ultimate tools that are suitable for providing the free and open access to the online contents. However, Psiphon does not increase the online privacy so they cannot be considered as the online security tool. In fact, the Psiphon serves as the simple and specific purpose of granting the user to easily open access internet were the limitations and information controls are imposed arbitrarily within the country.
Psiphon administers with the multiple proxy servers so the users can easily stay connected with SSH or VPN connection. Psiphon has high-end technology that the normal VPN service providers do not have. Psiphon for Windows administers recirculate and churn service constantly with adding the new servers that are not blocked. Organizations could also realize that the users take high-end advantage of the proxy server-based on the circumvent network restrictions. This app ensures that the government or organizations could not keep blocking them. Therefore, every server has the certificate so there is no need to worry about the dangerous connections.
Operation of Psiphon is based on the sophisticated mechanism with the wide range of servers. Each server is monitored regularly and added frequently so that when a server gets blocked, there is always another to replace it. Complete backup features are enabled so no data will be blocked or deleted. When the user likes to connect with the Psiphon’s server, then it is necessary to use only embedded certificates for authenticating the user.
Psiphon has an amazing IP masking ability so that when the user is connected with the Psiphon then his IP will be masked using the Psiphon’s servers that are located in various countries.
Psiphon is an ultimate App that is designed to bypass the censorship restrictions that are present in certain countries. Psiphon VPN employs protection against the surveillance of Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Government based on the internet data. Psiphon developers are quite keen to the stress and protection against the surveillance is not the main purpose of App. No promises are made for its effectiveness and it is considered as the anti-censorship device so it can be regarded as such. In fact, it is much more convenient to connect the Psiphon’s servers to the Windows using high advanced Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) VPN protocol. In fact, when the SSH connections are blocked it offers the backup option and they are not available for the Smartphone users.
Psiphon operates the complete network of the servers across the world so that the App can be connected with the use of encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) with handshake obfuscation. Normally, the SSH servers are quite similar to that of the standard HTTPS proxies and they are highly advance than SSL/TLS. Psiphon SSL connections normally use the highly advanced handshake obfuscation and it aims in hiding your attempt in evading the censorship restrictions. Handshake obfuscation automatically strengthens initial SSH handshake in the system so that it would be easier to classify or identify all network protocols with examining the data to a transit of the static signature.
Psiphon uses the high-end SSH to provide complete security connection to the server. In fact, it helps to bypass all forms of the censorship. Many Organizations like the NSA and CIA have the tools to decrypt SSH so it allows to easily read all contents in the SSH sessions.
Psiphon particularly uses L2TP/IPsec VPN protocol in VPN connections and it is considered as the best security options when compared to others. Psiphon simply bypasses the censorship with letting the internet accessibilities in a much more secure way. Psiphon offers the SHA1 cryptographic hashes in Windows as well as Android Apps. In fact, it is considered as the weak data integrity when compared to the PGP digital signatures and provides the complete confidence that all downloaded files is not been tampered with. Psiphon changes the Windows Domain Name System (DNS) settings automatically to point whitelist of the DNS servers and while using Psiphon, it ensures that you do not suffer from any DNS leak.
Psiphon is the massive handy service to achieve a single goal in mind to help bypass Internet censorship as well as content filtering. Psiphon Windows version is completely free and it is quite possible to easily “sideload” Android as well as iOS Apps for free. Psiphon is a free censorship tool there have no service fees, charges or credit card information required.

One of the problems with being a city planning commissioner is that the more controversial the issue, the less your opinions matter.
Take, for example, the most recent meeting, a sometimes acrimonious affair that burned nearly three hours of impassioned discussion on Supervisor Jane Kim's plan to revise the environmental appeals process before finally agreeing to send it, along with their recommendations, to the Board of Supervisors.
Those recommendations will then promptly be ignored by supervisors, already prepping for their own fight over the proposed changes.
"This is an awkward situation," admitted commission President Rodney Fong after the commissioners clashed Thursday on how to handle Kim's plan. "It's not us who are the final deciding body."
That would be the board, which is now expected to take up both Kim's plan and Supervisor Scott Wiener's starkly different take on reforming the environmental hearing process at a May 6 meeting of the board's Land Use and Economic Development Committee.
The changes proposed by the supervisors are complicated and pointed toward very different goals. While Wiener says his plan will streamline and shorten the environmental review process and make it tougher to delay final decisions on new building projects, Kim believes residents need to get more notice of a wider range of construction efforts and an expanded amount of time to comment on - and possibly oppose - those projects.
"While I realize this doesn't make it easier for the planning staff to administer ... we live in a city where people care about development," Kim said.
While the planning staff recommended strong support for Wiener's plan last month, the department had plenty of concerns about Kim's proposal, which they said would require about a dozen additional staff members to implement, slow the project approval process and set up notification rules that can't be met with the city's current computer system. They recommended that the board reject most of Kim's proposals.
Commissioner Kathrin Moore, who voted against recommending Wiener's plan, accused the planning staff of being too negative about Kim's call for expanded notification on construction projects, saying they were providing only "a 'can't do' argument."
That stung City Planning Director John Rahaim, who complained that some members of the commission and the public refuse to see that the department "greatly supports increasing notification, and I have to express some frustration with that."
The grumbling continued, with the commission refusing to return Kim's proposal to the supervisors either with or without the staff recommendations, before finally agreeing to forward a version that toned down some of the staff objections.
And when the supervisors get the commission's hard-fought recommendation, they'll probably say "thank you" and then do what they already intended to do on the dueling reform measures.
A little break: When David Chiu is away, the rest of the Board of Supervisors won't come out to play.
Tuesday's full board meeting, as well as the meetings of the Land Use & Economic Development and Rules committees, are canceled while the board president is in Israel on a study tour.
In the absence of its president, the board could have voted on appointing a temporary leader at the start of Tuesday's meeting, according to Board Clerk Angela Calvillo. But Chiu's office polled the rest of the supervisors, and they went along with his inclination to cancel the meeting.
If readers and their colleagues have any luck voting themselves out of any upcoming long and boring meetings at their workplace, the City Insider would love to know.
Chiu's $6,780 trip is funded by San Francisco's Jewish Community Relations Council, the same group that took Supervisors Scott Wiener, London Breed, Malia Cohen and Carmen Chu to Israel last year.

"If not now, when," Schmid said.
Three years ago, he was diagnosed with primary lateral sclerosis, a condition similar to ALS.
"The most difficult thing I ever had to do in my life was to talk to my children about ending my life."
"My initial response was 'We're going to make this happen,'" said Lisa Alvarado.
"I want my friends and family to have at least that memory when I'm gone," Schmid said. "Do not just give up where you're at...always strive and reach for something else."
"Even if it is the end of your life, you can be more than you are right now."

A U.S. International Trade Commission judge, Thomas Pender, declined the import ban of Apple iPhones sought by Qualcomm. In simple words, it means that Apple Inc. will continue to sell its iPhones in the U.S. without any glitch. Qualcomm sought an import ban of Apple iPhones with Intel’s software chip inside it.
Judge Pender has however found that Apple clearly infringed one of three Qualcomm patents in the case. If the Commission, which has the final say, decides to go along with the judge’s findings, it would eliminate Qualcomm’s biggest bargaining ‘chip’ it could have used against Apple.
Qualcomm will pursue 40 other patent-infringement cases brought against Apple globally while looking forward to the full Commission decision, Rosenberg added. However, on the contrary, if the Commission decides to uphold the judge’s infringement finding, it could greatly help the chip-maker who is seeking the district court to have Apple pay the patent royalties.

On my first day I was warmly welcomed into the office and by the end of the week I already felt like part of the team.
After a month I now feel that I’ve settled in and have got used to life in Kingston. I’ve found it to be a very exciting city; with great nightlife and beaches or mountains within an hour’s drive. I have also become a big fan of Jamaican cuisine, and alternate between 3 places downtown for my lunch.
Coming to the end of my internship now and I’m surprised by how fast time has gone. I am very glad that I got the opportunity to come and work in Jamaica, and there are many aspects of life here that I will miss.

Definition of Network Neighborhood in The Network Encyclopedia.
A desktop icon in Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 that allows users to browse shared network resources on their computers. Using Network Neighborhood, you can browse resources on the network in the same way that you use My Computer to browse the resources on your local machine. These two tools provide complementary views of system and network resources to those provided by Windows Explorer.
When you open Network Neighborhood to view the connected network, you see all the computers in your present domain or workgroup, plus an entity called Entire Network. You can open Entire Network to browse resources on all the connected networks that your computer is aware of.
If you know your network domain settings are correct and you try to browse Network Neighborhood but only the Entire Network icon is visible, and if when you double-click on the Entire Network icon you get an error message saying “Unable to browse the network,” your network cable might have come loose from its network interface card (NIC).

“Career Talk” is a weekly series presented by the student employees of Shenandoah University’s Career Services that provides advice and keeps the SU community up-to-date about upcoming events and opportunities.
When preparing for an interview, you need to practice every scenario, including what NOT to ask. Asking questions of potential employers demonstrates your value as a potential employee. Make sure your questions are well-thought out and utilize a positive tone.
Questions that begin with this are symbolic of gossip. Gossip is not based in truth and participating in it shows that you have not done your research on the company. Instead, ask what the future of the company looks like.
If you are trying to get a job, you should not be asking about a promotion. It makes you sound presumptuous and is too forward. Instead, ask about advancement opportunities within the organization.
This question is inappropriate because it implies that you are more interested in the social aspect of the job than the professional environment. As an alternative, ask if there are team bonding activities as a chance to allow the interviewer to tell you about company outings and social gatherings.
Always do research on the company before going into an interview. If you ask a question that makes the interviewer think you have not done your research, it may seem that you are not determined to get the job. Research the company culture and look at feedback from other employees.
Asking for your own office or place away from other employees shows that you are not a team player. You should prove that you have worked hard to attain such a benefit, rather than demanding it during the interview.
You usually know who will be interviewing you before going in, and just like with the company, research that person, their position, and even their past experience. Knowing what they do allows you to put their view of the company in context. Instead, ask what that person most enjoys about their job or the company.

As brother and sister, Benny and Joon share such a tight bond that this long-orphaned pair sings comforting couplets to each other every night, celebrating their siblinghood.
It’s a tender if sentimental touch, and it can make you wish that the Old Globe’s world-premiere musical “Benny & Joon” shared the same kind of sweet cohesion.
The show comes armed with plenty of charms, including beautifully appealing performances by Hannah Elless, as the smart but troubled Joon, and Bryce Pinkham, as the mysterious, movie-loving newcomer Sam — the part played by Johnny Depp in the 1993 film of the same name.
What it doesn’t possess, at least not quite yet, is the feel of a story bonded organically to the songs — the sense that this is a musical down to its bones.
The show just hasn’t quite figured out its own identity as something separate from the movie, whose storyline and set pieces it follows mostly faithfully. That might be why, as the production progresses, you can feel a song coming on from a mile away.
Little things could help; some of the show’s long dialogue scenes, for example, all but cry out for underscoring to maintain some connective tissue to the production’s musical fabric. That also could help smooth the artificial-feeling transitions into the songs.
Composer Nolan Gasser does draw on a rich palette of sounds and comes up with plenty of winning numbers, from the simple but irresistible “Happy” (performed with wit and style by the sweet-voiced Elless on ukulele) to the pleasingly old-timey “I Can Help,” which also showcases Pinkham’s considerable gifts for physical comedy.
And Mindi Dickstein’s lyrics on “This, This, This,” a number played with a fluid grace by music director/conductor/keyboardist J. Oconer Navarro and his orchestra, neatly spell out Joon’s extreme need for order.
Still, it feels as though the creators and director Jack Cummings III could introduce more emotional range and perhaps more darkness into the piece, which trades some of the movie’s whimsy for realism but seems to shy from really grappling with Joon’s illness.
Dane Laffrey’s set is dominated by a huge, intricately detailed bird’s-eye view of Benny and Joon’s neighborhood; the way it juts up vertically from the stage is an apt suggestion of how the siblings live at a skewed angle from the rest of their too-tidy community.
It’s a very spare physical production, though, with solid lighting by R. Lee Kennedy and sound by Kai Harada but no projections — surprising for such a movie-minded show. The staging could do more to help us get inside Joon’s mind.
Guenther and Co. do bring welcome humanity and insights (not to mention humor) to Sam, a cousin of Benny’s workmate from the local auto garage whom Joon winds up “winning” in a poker game.
Samonsky has a tricky role to play, as the once-doting Benny turns surprisingly mean in latter scenes — a reaction to Sam and Joon’s increasingly close relationship. But he brings warmth even to some by-the-numbers love scenes with the waitress and ex-actress Ruthie (a sharp January LaVoy).
The show also gets solid turns from Natalie Toro as Joon’s doctor, and Colin Hanlon, Paolo Montalban and Jason SweetTooth Williams as Benny’s goofily likable garage pals.
In one of the show’s most arresting songs, “Yes or No,” Joon — trying to summon the strength to remake her life — sings: “Life is a matter of guts.” Here’s hoping the creators of “Benny & Joon” see fit to embrace a bit more daring in this promising piece, and stamp it as their own.
When: 7 p.m. Tuesdays-Wednesdays (plus 2 p.m. Oct. 11); 8 p.m. Thursdays-Fridays; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays. (No matinee Oct. 14, and no performances Sept. 23.) Through Oct. 22.

What ever happened to the Quill?!
Last week I looked back at what went on during the second year of The Time Blawg with specific reference to Social Media: The Time Blawg – Two Years On (Part 1: Social Media) and then Blawging: The Time Blawg – Two Years On (Part 2: Blawging) and in each post give my thoughts on what 2013 has in store for social media/blawging and lawyers. Today I will do the same but with specific reference to Legal Technology. Part 4 will follow on what might be left, which would appear to be last year’s posts on QualitySolicitors.
2012 was the year of the Legal Technology Conference. At least for me as I attended a few. But not for most law firm partners who were not seen anywhere near them. Charles Christian at LawTech Futures 2012 referred to getting law firm partners to attend as the “holy grail of legal technology conferences”. This gave me the title of my blog post on that conference: LawTech Futures 2012 Reviewed: The Search for the Holy Grail of Legal Technology Conferences has Begun!
Next up was Lex2012 Reviewed: Legal Innovation and Technology Conference reveals ‘Camel’ Computing. That title refers to a presentation by a law firm of their cloud computing solution that involves keeping the servers on your own premises although owned by the supplier and leased by the law firm. In my view this is not cloud computing as it should be but a hybrid designed by a committee of lawyers. Indeed at times I was shaking my head at the presentations at these conferences and thinking it was perhaps best for law firm partners not to be in attendance to hear the bad practice being espoused. Only 5% of delegates at Lex2012 were law firm partners.
Don’t get me wrong though. It was not all bad. Some of the presentations made you think and indeed some introduced me to legal technology that I was unaware of.
The most interesting legal technology conference of the year was LawTech Camp London. As I blogged in LawTech Camp London 2012 Reviewed: Time to Push it stood out from the rest by being somewhat unique in its format and content. Adopting the BarCamp or UnConference style this conference was shaped by those who wanted to talk and not by a programme designed solely by the organisers or influenced by sponsors. The use of six minute Pecha Kucha style sessions spiced things up a bit. This even inspired me to do a Pecha Kucha presentation at the Crofting Law Conference in September – a first!
In a subsequent post I highlighted tweets from the conference: LawTech Camp London 2012: In Tweets.
In 2012 I was Speaking about Cloud Computing for Law Firms (my experiences of taking my law firm, Inksters, into the Cloud) and Reviewing Cloud Computing for Lawyers (the book by Nicole Black). Both (if you can excuse my lack of modesty) giving more insight into cloud computing than was evident at any of the legal technology conferences mentioned earlier.
My last legal technology post of 2012 was Is the Surface any good for lawyers? Part 1: First impressions.
With three presentation stages including a 400 seat conference room delivering multi-stream conference sessions, keynote presentations, panel discussions, interviews, debates and interactive demonstrations, ‘LawTech Futures 2013 – The Future of Legal Technology’ promises to be the biggest legal technology conference and exhibition outside of the U.S.A.
No word on Lex2013 as yet. LawTech Camp has been renamed ReInvent Law with a conference in Dubai in December 2012 and one scheduled for Silicon Valley on 8 March 2013. No word yet on a ReInvent Law London 2013 but hopefully that will happen. The one to watch out for in 2013 could well be Law Hack Camp London (the first law hackathon in the UK) organised by Amanda Bancroft and Jon Harman. Originally scheduled for the end of this month it is now planned for April 2013 (exact dates still to be confirmed).
Jon Busby tweeted during LawTech Futures 2012 “this is same people saying same thing as last year and year before that, nothing new which says it all really.” The challenge for legal technology conference organisers in 2013 will be to not fall into that category. Law Hack Camp London might just achieve that.
I predict that cloud computing will become more mainstream for law firms in 2013 and beyond. There will still be those that caution against it but pay no attention to them as they probably have never used it.
I will be blogging more about my experiences of using the Surface in 2013 (Part 2 of the series will be on connectivity). Lawyers probably will not take note of Windows 8 in 2013 given that most have yet to even experience Windows 7.
In previous years I have mentioned video and also legal documentation online when making legal technology predictions (e.g. Future Law: IT Predictions for 2011). There has been a bit of movement on both since 2011 but nothing major. However, with Legal Zoom (NB link is to US website as no UK one yet but apparently coming soon) and Rocket Lawyer both making the transition from the US to the UK that may be about to change so far as online legal documentation is concerned. Perhaps I will blog about that on The Time Blawg in 2013.

We are all looking forward to a big year of legal tech events, and well done to Jon Harman and team, sounds like they have a good event and my best wishes for success in 2013..
Well done on a well written article Brian and keep up the great work ..
Jon Busby on 14/01/2013 at 10:24 pm.
Umm followed the hashtag you provided on Twitter.
Jon Harman on 15/01/2013 at 10:40 am.
Just a quick word on my perspective and why do LawTechCamp or LawHackCamp. I’m not interested in the business of events, keynotes and prognosticating – lots of talk and no action. We’ve been talking about the same things for years. Richard S said it in 1996, he’s still saying it in 2013. The push for LawTechCamp and LawHackCamp is “let’s just do it” – the reason it has been free is I think we need to ignite the positive deviants within our industry – they’re not the partners and senior managers. Apple would never be born out of IBM or Google out of Yahoo etc etc. I’ll write more about this later.
The growth of legal tech conferences is great for conference organisers, speakers and publishers, but it won’t change things. That’s going to need a different shake-up we need less Malcolm McLarens and more Johnny Rottens. ; ) LawTechPunk could be fun.
Tessa Shepperson on 22/01/2013 at 11:30 pm.
My tech experience this year and the latter part of last year are signing up to American automation company Infusionsoft http://www.infusionsoft.com/ for my business and doing an Open University foundation course in Technology https://msds.open.ac.uk/students/study/undergraduate/course/tu100.htm for interest – which I am really enjoying.
If anyone wants an interesting and informative tech course I would highly recommend it. Although I was lucky and just signed up in time for ‘transitional funding’. Sadly for others it is all a bit expensive now as the OU lost much of its funding and had to raise its prices (its expensive enough anyway WITH the transitional funding).
One of the things we are looking at on the course just now is the prospect of computing as a utility – like electricity. I suspect it is coming, and in about 10 – 20 years people may find it odd that we thought twice about cloud computing. LIke we don’t all have our own electricity generators in the basement.
On the other hand there are potentially big problems – security and the fact that a lot of your critical information could be sitting in a data bank on the east coast of the USA.
My Landlord Law site by the way (and most of my other websites) are with UK Fast http://www.ukfast.co.uk/ – a 100% carbon neutral company which has its data centre in Manchester.
I still use Dropbox though as its so convenient ….
I am hoping that my OU course will help inspire me with new ideas for the business – it is certainly helping me understand Infusionsoft.
The internet is probably partly behind the wave of high street failures we are seeing just now, and may also be behind the closure of many small and medium law firms which I suspect is coming, but it holds exciting possibilities for those who take the trouble to find out about it and embrace it.
I’m glad you are one of those Brian.

The Schlosslichtspiele Festival in Karlsruhe, Germany curates a programme of dynamic mapping projections on the façade of the city’s Baroque castle.
Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) collaborated with leading digital artists and computer science researchers Andy Lomas and Mubbasir Kapadia, together with musician Max Cooper to create the ‘Behaviour Morphe’ light mapping projection for the 2017 Schlosslichtspiele Festival.
The Schlosslichtspiele Festival in Karlsruhe, Germany curates a programme of dynamic mapping projections on the 170m façade of the city’s Baroque castle.
Exploring new forms of architecture, the 2017 Schlosslichtspiele connects digital spatial concepts with the 18th century masonry of the castle to explore how living spaces can be designed in the future.
Dynamic new virtual spaces are defined by using real-time data to interpret the virtual actors’ interactions. These digital spaces are then explored with iterative growth systems that emulate the evolutionary process of nature, demonstrating the potential of metamorphic simulations and digital morphogenetics.
As an architectural interpretation, the projection outlines ZHA’s Computational Design (ZH CODE) research group’s work in these iterative systems of development.
Max Cooper said, “ZHA’s ideas and work fit well with my musical approach, being based on human/machine boundaries, and emergence of biological forms from simulated systems of behaviour. I drew on a couple of tracks which fit the visual style and the development of the piece, which goes from a playful exploration of human interactions with an architectural space to a barrage of cellular forms and audio-visual intensity.

As a leader of the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE), Philips contributes to a special report measuring the progress made by the PACE Capital Equipment Coalition’s founding members.
Philips is on track to fulfill its pledge that by 2020 it will take back and repurpose all the large medical systems equipment that its customers are prepared to return to it.
Philips helps initiate a PACE project in Nigeria to create employment and sustainably manage the processing of e-waste.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Davos, Switzerland – At this year’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, reiterated Philips’ commitment to the circular economy and confirmed that Philips is on track to fulfill its pledge that by 2020 it will take back and repurpose all the large medical systems equipment that its customers are prepared to return to it. In 2018, after pilot projects in Italy and Greece, Philips successfully launched the roll-out of a global program to achieve its ambitious circular economy goal, together with metrics to monitor progress. Typical large medical systems equipment that Philips will take back and recycle/repurpose include the MRI and CT scanners in its health technology product and solutions portfolio.
To drive industry-wide progress towards closing the loop for large-scale equipment, Philips and eight other leading companies across multiple industry sectors co-founded the Capital Equipment Coalition. This coalition is an initiative under the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE)– an organization launched by WEF that Frans van Houten co-chairs alongside the head of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). At last year’s World Economic Forum, all members of the coalition pledged their company to drive specific actions in terms of preserving and recovering value from capital equipment. Today, their shared experience was published in the form of a report titled ‘Circular Value Creation – Lessons from the Capital Equipment Coalition’. In addition to highlighting the progress that has been made so far, the report outlines the business case for adopting a circular economy approach, the associated value drivers, and the organizational changes needed to embed circularity within a company’s processes and culture.
As with any effective change process, you not only need to act, you also need to measure, which is why Philips has established a dedicated circular economy performance indicator as part of its Executive Committee dashboard.
In addition to creating circular economy solutions for capital equipment, Philips is also committed to addressing the recycling of e-waste. Each year, the global economy generates around 50 million tons of e-waste, yet only around 20% is currently recycled.
Through leadership of PACE and with the involvement of the GEF, UN Environment, the Nigerian government, DELL, HP and Microsoft, Philips has been instrumental in establishing a 2-million US dollar public-private partnership project to initiate a circular e-waste system in Nigeria. The country processes around 500,000 tons of e-waste annually, and after the recovery of serviceable items that can be sold in local markets or easily recoverable materials such as metal and plastic components, much of the remainder is disposed of in landfill sites. The new e-waste project, which was announced today during a Press Conference at the WEF Annual Meeting, is expected to leverage an additional 13 million dollars in co-financing from the private sector, with the initial GEF funding allowing the Nigerian government to build the required skills, tools and governance structures for e-waste management, and pilot new e-waste collection and recycling programs.

My 600-Lb Life Bettie Jo Baby: Meet the Reality Star's Son, Preston!
Since Bettie Jo Elmore's My 600-lb Life episode aired, things haven't gotten much better for the once 654-pound reality star. Despite losing more than 200 pounds from weight loss surgery as well as diet and exercise, she had a complicated pregnancy and was body-shamed on social media.
In 2016, the then 26-year-old found out she had a large bone mass on her spine while pregnant with her son, Preston. During an episode of My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now, she said, "It’s been a really hard couple of weeks. I went to the emergency room because I was sick, and my stomach was hurting. After doing a CT scan, they noticed a large mass on my spine. Because I’m pregnant, the bigger the baby gets, the more he presses on the bone mass on my spine." She added, "I’m already a high-risk pregnancy, so a lot of things could go wrong. Having a baby is a dream come true, but I need to be able to take care of that baby. I don’t understand why this is happening, and I don’t know how I’m going to make this decision."
Fortunately, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Aug. 10, 2016. At the time, she took to Twitter to announce the exciting news. "Preston Isaiah Linn Elmore was born August 10th at 5 am he was 5 pounds 7oz and 19 inches long!!" So sweet!
Sadly, her troubles didn't stop there. In June, Bettie Jo was shamed on social media for wanting to share tips on weight loss. Because she had gastric bypass surgery, many people felt she didn't have the right to give health advice and was accused of exploiting her story.
Bettie Jo before and after weight loss surgery.
Prior to that, she updated fans on her progress, which she admitted was difficult after her son was born. She wrote on Facebook, "I will reach my goal. I am at a standstill right now and have been since Preston was born, but I'm not gaining; I'm just stuck in a five pounds up and down range, but I'm going to get to my goal. It might not be as fast as others have, but it's going at the pace that's best for me which is how I need it to be cuz [sic] when I over do it, it doesn't turn out well and I am not gaining all my weight back — no way at all!!" She continued, "But I have to have a good mental and physical health as well in order to loose weight the right way that's healthy for me! So no I'm not tiny skinny yet, but I am losing!"
The good news, however, is that she's still happily married to her husband and baby daddy, Josh Elmore. He was featured on her episode, and she recently shared that the two had tried spaghetti squash together and loved it — so it sounds like she's keeping up with her diet plan. Hopefully, Bettie Jo has seen the last of her setbacks and is on the road to a happy, healthy life!

UU A Way Of Life: Are you a caterpillar living into a butterfly?
Unitarian Universalists have seven principles which they covenant together to affirm and promote. The first principle is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This first principles involves the recognition and acknowledgement of piece of the Divine within every human being.
The third principle is the acceptance and encouragement to spiritual growth of one another.
The fourth principle is the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
It seems apparent that the engagement with the third principle requires some success with the fourth. A person can't give what the person doesn't have. Encouragement presumes that the person doing the encouraging has some experience with what they are encouraging.
In the Unitarian Universalist church there are plenty of caterpillars. Are there any butterflies? If there are butterflies among us are they encouraging us caterpillars to be patient and continue to eat and digest our leaves because butterflydoom is going to come if we are patient and persistent.

As a part of our Innovation Interview series, we sat down with FEI Europe speaker Alexander Osterwalder, a passionate entrepreneur and co-founder of Strategyzer, a leading innovation powerhouse that helps organizations develop growth engines, improve customer understanding, and establish more attractive value propositions and business models. Every day, provides a framework for large companies and startups to innovate by rapidly experimenting with new business models and value propositions.
His world-renowned Business Model Canvas is trusted by more than five million business practitioners from leading global companies, such as Coca-Cola, GE, Mastercard, Ericsson, Fujitsu, 3M, Intel and Microsoft, and is outlined in his international best-seller, “Business Model Generation” (Wiley, 2010), which was named among the 12 best business books of all time by USA Today. His second book, “Value Proposition Design: How to Create Products and Services Customers Want” (Wiley, 2014), continues the conversation by addressing how to find a better fit between a product and its intended market.
What do you think will be the biggest innovation of 2019?
Many of the tech trends like AI, robotics, autonomous driving, solar, etc. will continue to grow. Yet, what I’m more interested in is watching if established companies finally build the right organizational structures and processes to take advantage of these trends. Many companies invest heavily in R&D, but they invest poorly in what I call business R&D: experimenting with new value propositions and business models. Hence, they risk missing out on many innovation trends.
Why is it becoming so important to innovate smarter?
There are two reasons why companies should get better at innovation. First, business models expire faster than ever before. A CEO used to be able to manage a the same business model during his or her career. This has changed dramatically and leaders need to manage several business model transitions during a career - if they survive the transition.
Second, startups used to be “ankle biters,” but are now better funded and better skilled to scale than most corporate innovation teams, as Steve Blank, seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur turned educator likes to say. Startups are now serious disruptors, while they used to be a mere annoyance, and many of them don’t even want to be acquired anymore.
What is a piece of advice you have for organizations looking to innovate smarter today?
Most companies I see have incubators and accelerators, but it’s still mostly innovation theatre. Innovation won’t have an impact in a company when the CEO doesn’t spend 20%-40% of his or her time on innovation. Building a serious innovation engine means putting three things in place: clear leadership support, the right organizational structures, and the establishment of a world-class innovation practice.
Leadership support is about providing strategic guidance to innovation teams, equipping them with money and time, and establishing an entire portfolio of innovation projects of which some clearly focus on breakthrough business model innovation.
The right organizational structures is about giving innovation legitimacy and power, building bridges with the core operational business, and establishing an incentive and measurement system that is specifically designed for the needs of innovation, not operations.
A world class innovation practice is about using the right innovation tools and processes, and establishing the right skills and experience. You don’t become a great innovator overnight. You gain experience over the number of projects you do. As long as innovation remains a “Friday afternoon activity,” a company will never see experienced innovators emerge. We don’t ask the finance or marketing people to do a little bit of accounting or marketing as a part-time activity either, do we?
How do you manage risk and uncertainty in innovation?
It’s very simple. On the one hand you need to test ideas before starting to execute them. In other words, ban business plans, and replace them with an iterative process of testing. On the other hand, you need to invest in a portfolio of projects of which many will fail, but winners will emerge. The German company Bayer, for example, invested in 68 projects over three years, gave 21 of them follow-up investment based on evidence from testing, and finally implemented 6 of them.
What is the biggest challenge to innovation? How can it be solved?
The biggest challenge is that companies are still mainly focused on managing and improving their existing business models. We need to move beyond incremental innovation and add breakthrough growth innovation. The former is not bad, but insufficient. If you improve a business model that’s expiring you will just die more efficiently. Companies need to think of replacing their business models, while they are still successful. They can achieve that by simultaneously managing a portfolio of existing business models and cultivating a portfolio of emerging business models.
What is a key takeaway from your session at FEI Europe?
I will talk about how to manage an innovation portfolio and how to measure the reduction of risk and uncertainty in innovation projects pre-revenue.

← Welcome Back to Booknificent Thursday Link-Up Party #258!
It has been a while since I have had the pleasure of reading one of Tessa Afshar’s books, but I always enjoy them when I do! When I was invited to be a part of her launch team for the first book in a new series, I jumped at the chance to get a complimentary ARC and help spread the word about this new book! And I’m so glad I did! This book is a treat in every way! Great characters, a riveting storyline, plot twists aplenty, Leverage-worthy heists, flawless historicity, and deep yet subtle spirituality make this a book not to be missed! There was nothing I didn’t enjoy about it, and I absolutely cannot wait for her to continue this series!
Summary from the author: First-century Corinth is a city teeming with commerce and charm. It’s also filled with danger and corruption—the perfect setting for Ariadne’s greatest adventure.
Tessa Afshar is an award-winning author of historical and biblical fiction. Her novel, Land of Silence, won an INSPY award, and was voted by Library Journal as one of five top Christian Fiction titles of 2016. It was also nominated for the 2016 RT Reviewer’s Choice Award for best Inspirational Romance. Harvest of Gold won the prestigious 2014 Christy Award in the Historical Romance category. Her book, Harvest of Rubies was a finalist for the 2013 ECPA Book Award in the fiction category. Her first novel, Pearl in the Sand, won her “New Author of the Year” by the Family Fiction sponsored Reader’s Choice Awards 2011. Tessa was born in Iran and lived there for the first fourteen years of her life. She moved to England where she survived boarding school for girls and fell in love with Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, before moving to the United States permanently. Her conversion to Christianity in her twenties changed the course of her life forever. Tessa holds an MDiv from Yale University where she served as co-chair of the Evangelical Fellowship at the Divinity School. She serves on the staff of one of the oldest churches in America. But that has not cured her from being addicted to chocolate.
I love fiction set in Bible times–need to make more room in my life for fiction. Did you ever read anything by Elizabeth Goudge? I’m treating myself to one of her novels right now.
Adding Thief of Corinth to my TBR and sharing the post. Looking forward to a great read!

Stuhleck is a mid size ski resort in Semmering. It's nothing special compared to Obertauern, but it's only 85 km of motorway from Mödling which makes it quite popular also among Viennese. The top is at 1774 meters so there is a good chance a rainy day in Mödling equals to powder day at Stuhleck.

We simply ask for people to follow basic standards of civil conduct on public forums, including boards, channels, and populated areas. We would prefer that players act in a mature fashion under their own free will, but if an argument reaches the point where it spills over into public places and is spoiling everyone's enjoyment of the mud, we will become involved. If you have a problem with somebody, we ask that you just try to avoid contact with them.
Taking an argument to Tells might help, but harassment can be private just as well as public. Generally, if somebody asks you to stop doing something, stop. The "ignore" command exists precisely to help deal with this kind of harassment, so please use it before you ask for Immortal intervention.
Sexual harassment of any kind is not acceptable.
Keep in mind that mud etiquette exists alongside mud rules. Yelling (using all caps) and generally being obnoxious are among the things frowned upon; a bit of common sense goes a long way in avoiding this stuff. Such rude gestures are extremely poor ways to make friends, and a pattern of consistent inconsiderate behavior can push the borders of "civil conduct."
On a related note, please keep material on the message boards relevant to the board's intended content.

hi. i could help you. what do you need help with exactly?
which exam board are you with?
unfortunately there is no easy of doing this; it is simply a matter of learing the various rules : distributive, associative, de morgan's, complement etc.
The exam board matters as the importance linked to 'Logic' varies with each one. I am with OCR (MEI) so there is quite strong emphasis on Logic.
