KU's Bill Self, Quentin Grimes help USA U18 win gold at FIBA Americas
Jayhawks' Grimes named MVP
By Benton Smith
The U18 USA Basketball men's national team has a distinct KU flavor to it this year. Shown here, from left to right, are KU & Team USA trainer Bill Cowgill, KU & Team USA coach Bill Self, KU freshman Quentin Grimes, former KU standout and current Team USA assistant coach Danny Manning and current KU & Team USA video director Jeremy Case.

USA Basketball defied a quick start from host team Canada well enough Saturday night in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship gold medal game.
But when coach Bill Self needed his group of U.S. players to totally take control, University of Kansas freshman guard Quentin Grimes did his part to make it happen in the second quarter.
Canada's deficit expanded from nine to 28 before halftime and USA capped its unblemished run through the event in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, with a 113-74 victory that wasn't close after the first quarter.
Six-foot-9 University of Kansas recruiting target Matthew Hurt — who, like Grimes, scored 17 for USA — deserved credit for setting the feel for the game-shifting quarter, scoring first on a jumper and then in the paint a little more than a minute into the second.
But Grimes, named the most valuable player of the week-long event, capitalized soon after, when things began falling apart for Canada (5-1).
A 6-4 guard from The Woodlands, Texas, Grimes had grown silent offensively after knocking down a step-back 3-pointer that provided USA its first basket of the night in the opening minutes. However, once he raced out in front of Canada's defense in transition off a steal for an easy layup in the second quarter, Grimes began to flourish.
Later, following a missed a 3-pointer, Grimes cut hard to the paint from the left wing once the U.S. secured an offensive rebound, receiving a dish that resulted in a soaring, one-handed slam.

Next, Grimes buried a smooth step-back jumper off the dribble, upon quickly attacking from the right side of the perimeter.
U.S. big man Armando Bacot provided Grimes his easiest look of the tournament finale, with a dish from the right block for an uncontested lay-in.
Once Grimes, who scored 11 of his points in the second quarter, drained a 3-pointer with 2:13 left in the half, USA's lead grew to 55-30.
"Like no other feeling I've ever experienced," Grimes said of his reaction to the win during an on-court, post-game interview. "The gold medal was the icing on the cake to top off my high school career."
The FIBA Americas U18 favorite outscored Canada 32-13 in the second quarter.
A guard from New York, Cole Anthony led USA with 18 points.
The eventual gold-medal winners shot 61.1 percent from the floor in the first period, when Canada initially jumped out to a 12-7 lead. Coby White (11 points) tied the game at 12, and once Hurt drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing for a 15-12 advantage 4:59 into the gold-medal matchup, the U.S. never again trailed.
"I think we played pretty well all six games to be honest," Self said during his on-court interview following the victory, "and we got better as the week went on — but so did a lot of the other teams, as well. Canada was definitely better than what the score indicated. We played really well the first half and got out on them."
Named to the FIBA Americas U18 all-tournament team, along with White and Anthony, Grimes was credited with seven rebounds and six assists in the final.
Asked for his thoughts on playing for Self at the event, Grimes replied: "I can't wait to get back to Kansas with him."

Canada only made 27 of 81 shots (33.3 percent) and turned the ball over 18 times, which, of course, pleased the effort-and-toughness-obsessed Self.
"I'll be honest with you, there's not much coaching going on with these guys. We just put them in a little bit of structure and just tell them to go play out of it. What I was really happy with was I thought we really tried to guard, especially tonight," Self said. "I thought we really defended. When you get a bunch of guys who have been told how good they are and everything's been featured around them, how well we shared the ball (26 assists), I thought we really played unselfish as a group."
The U.S. topped 100 points in each of its six victories this past week, improving to 59-2 all-time at the event — USA lost to Argentina in 2008 and Venezuela in 2002.
U.S. players and coaches took home gold medals for the fifth consecutive time, and ninth overall, in FIBA Americas U18 history.
Originally known as the FIBA Americas Junior World Championship Qualifier, the tournament was held every four years between 1990-2006. FIBA changed its calendar following the 2006 championship, and the tournament is now conducted every other year, followed in the next summer, for nations that advance, by the FIBA U19 World Cup.
The U.S. previously won gold in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, while capturing silver in 2008 and bronze in 2002.

I watched this game on youtube. Grimes is incredible.

With Self and Grimes leading the way, this team had a disincentive Kansas flavor. If Self siigns the other leading players, notably Earl, Young and Hurt ... Kansas can lay claim to this being another Kansas international Gold Medal to go along with The Olympic and Korea.
Clarence Glasse 1 year, 7 months ago
? - I don't know what the comment means.
Dirk Medema 1 year, 7 months ago
It is a bit of an obtuse reference to the gold in Korea a couple years ago. "Disincentive" probably isn't the correct word choice and adds to the confusion. Distinct?

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
And well done to Coach Self and Quentin Grimes!
"followed in the next summer, for nations that advance, by the FIBA U19 World Cup."
Will there be a follow-up article on this? When? Where? Who against? Do the same players go, or is there a whole new round of tryouts?
Marius Rowlanski 1 year, 7 months ago
Self should be considered to be the head coach and the next summer Olympic Games.
Grimes is coming to Kansas with an international gold medal around his neck, and Coach Self with another USA basketball victory.
Too bad Self couldn't just take the Jayhawks into the tournament as he did in Korea. I think the results would be the same.

What's the attached file Pyroman? Best not to download something blind.
Only got afew packets of rockets from Tesco last year that I thought were poor so won't be buying again this year.
Tesco are indeed selling standard.


I could not be more excited for fall this year. The weather, the clothes, and of course my favorite event, NY Fashion Week! This year I'm going to be enjoying the shows from the comfort of my own home while I live-stream my favorite designers and check for street-style photos of those lucky ones who will actually be attending in person! The fashion seen on the streets outside the shows usually gives me as much, if not more inspiration, than the shows themselves! I love seeing these street-style stars ready to sit through an amazing designer show before jetting off to another. How do they stay looking so glam when it's still hot in NYC? More importantly, how are they still able to walk in all those amazing shoes all day long!? I don't know, but I do know how I do it: with Dr. Scholl's Stylish StepTM insoles!
These insoles really couldn't be easier to use. They've got several products to choose from, for both heels and flats! I recently picked up a pair of the Dr. Scholl's Stylish Step™ Clear Cushioning Insoles for flats and my cute, cheap, and no-support flats can now see me comfortably through a full day on my feet!
They're so easy to use too! Simply wipe the inside of the shoe clean, remove the plastic backing and place the left insole into the left shoe, then the right in the right shoe. Line up the heel with the back of the shoe and press in place! You're set!
They feel amazing and the clear gel is discreet so the shoes still look great too!
Another favorite product? The Dr. Scholl's Stylish Step™ Ball Of Foot Cushions for High Heels. I always have such a hard time with heels really causing the balls of my feet to ache. In fact, I recall a couple of years ago at a Fashion Week event literally limping to my car at the end of the night because my feet felt so bruised! These insoles are made specifically to address the problem and they work so well. Heels that normally would have been worn for an hour or so can now be worn all day!
One thing I love about these insoles is that they're easy to remove too! After about 6 months or when they start to wear, you can simply peel them off without damaging your favorite heels and replace with a new pair of cushions!
Regardless of whether you're headed to NY Fashion Week, your day job, or a night out with friends, do yourself (and your feet) a favor and pick up some Dr. Scholl's Stylish Step™ insoles on your next Target run! Don't forget to grab the 10% Cartwheel offer, find out more here! Those gorgeous (and painful) shoes you love so much just found a way to become your all-day, comfy favorites!
I definitely need to try the ones for flats. I always take precaution when it comes to providing my heels with extra support, but I always forget to do the same for my flats and it's equally as important! These are great for not only NYFW, but for every day!

Marshmello & Halsey – Be Kind
photo: Peter Donaghy
Saskia Postema·
Quarantined or not, there is no stopping these two artists. "Be Kind" is the follow-up to Marshmello's hugely successful run in 2019, and Halsey's no.1 album Manic earlier this year. It should come as no surprise that this track is yet another hit in the making for these two artists.
It's the first time these two are working together, but Marshmello said that "as soon as we finished the song, I was instantly obsessed. Halsey and I connected and were both on the same page with what we wanted the final outcome to be! And it turned out great."
The track opens with a laid-back chord progression that's somewhat similar to Post Malone's "Sunflower," which is a funny coincidence, given the floral aesthetic of Halsey and Marshmello's cover art. As the music builds, there also seem to be clear Daft Punk references – especially when the percussion intensifies. The lyric video echoes the summery, yet mellow 80s dance vibe of the song – with multiple flower references and colorful VCR-influenced visuals.
There's a certain softness to the song that's reminiscent of the vulnerability Halsey displayed on her album, as Halsey urges her partner to please open up and embrace the support she's willing to give. "I know you're choking on your fears / Already told you I'm right here / I will stay by your side every night," she sings in reassurance. What is more, it touches upon the fact that in hiding your own emotions and insecurities, you may end up hurting your partner. In the chorus, Halsey regales that you should "always confide in the one, you can be kind to the one that you love." As daunting as it is to trust someone, if you love them – let them in.
What's so interesting about Marshmello, is that no matter who he works with – he always manages to perfectly integrate their voice and strengths into a slightly dance-leaning track. He never takes away from their own artistic identity, rather he just models a song around it. He's done the same here, effortlessly creating a track that builds on Halsey's strengths both vocally and as a writer. The result? An extremely enjoyable dance-pop crossover with an uplifting message about being kind – something we can all use in times like these.
Give it a listen here:

Music and International Relations are my two passions in life. You'll either find me doing a deep dive into public diplomacy, or an artist's album intricacies. Or dog videos. There's also that.

Songs from "The Wicker Husband"
30th October 2016 I performed at a @Cue_Theatre scratch night of new musicals and introduced a brand new song from forthcoming musical "The Wicker Husband." The song is called "Have You Seen My Husband" and composer Darren Clark and I had only spent a short while on it before bringing it before this audience. Hence the ipad in hand.. with the lyrics.
We also performed my old favourite "My Wicker Man"
Tuesday 7th February we will be spending a whole day working on the musical (in a lab as part of their mentor ship by Stiles and Drewe) so no doubt I'll have some updates for you then… in the meantime enjoy these songs

Sondheim and Spacey
This May Rhys Jennings and Darren Clark learned their new musical was shortlisted for the Kevin Spacey Foundation bursary and were to present to a panel of musical theatre experts including Michael England, Beverley Knight, Clive Rowe, Danielle Tarento.. to name a few. I'd first worked on The Wicker Husband, an original story by Ursula-Wills Jones, exactly a year ago. We had a week's rehearsal and development under the playful direction of Charlotte Westenra. Ever since, Darren andRrhys have been working tireless on the story, the script the score and, most importantly the funding.
The song Darren and Rhys choice to use in their presentation was My Wicker Man which they asked me to reprise (yes being my obvious answer) and with the musical talents of Rachel Dawson, Loren O'Dair and Ruairi Glasheen we had our ensemble. There's no recording of this wonderful performance but here's my recording made at the St James' Theatre as part of the "Coup Coup Club" performance of music from "These Trees Are Made of Blood."
Then after the excitement of performing in front of these industry leaders, the Stephen Sondheim Society invited Darren and Rhys to have one of their songs performed at their monthly Monday night Cabaret. It just so happened it was the very same day as the presentation to KSF so on an adrenalin high Darren (on guitar) and I took to the stage. There'll be footage at a later date but here's a production photograph from the night.
It's a song that has become very close to my heart not least because of it's beautiful lyrics and soulful melody. I have been fortunate to share it's development with two other wonderful actresses: Olivier nominated Laura Pitt-Pulford and soon to graduate vEllie Pawsey. All three of us are at different stages of our careers and come from vastly different singing backgrounds and this, by his own admission, has really helped Darren build "My Wicker Man." We were interviewed about it last month and you can find the full text on the Musical Theatre Review's website.
The final note on this particular song (for this week anyway) is that this Sunday it will be performed by a lucky and talented gradate at the 10th annual Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year competition as it is down to the last 12 songs nominated for the Stiles & Drewe Award. Do go if you can get to the Novello Theatre for 3pm, it'll be wonderful.
Velvet Trumpet – Southwark Playhouse
In March I was lucky enough to work on the new comedy written by Gabriel Jones called Ealing Broadway. It featured as part of a showcase of new writing called "Soggy Brass" at the Southwark Playhouse arranged by South London-based theatre company Velvet Trumpet. We had very little time, just two short rehearsals and some quick fire line runs on the night before showdown but we were led by director Sharon Burrell so were in very safe hands.
A few show photos and some information on the play and company:

A Violent Method
This week I have been back working with Iris Theatre Company, back after several years away. The last time I worked with them was on Ted Hughes' adaptation of "Alcestis" for The Actor's Church in Covent Garden (November 2009). Ahead of their summer season, which will include "Julius Caesar", the artistic director Dan Winder wanted to play with and explore how to depict violence on stage. We all know about stage combat and film stunts but he wanted to explore the physical language of violence and what techniques we could employ as actors to subvert conventions and push images to the extreme. There are several videos of our work on their Vimeo Page but here is a taster of the work we produced working with movement director Stephanie Bradbury and fight choreographer Roger Bartlett.

Hypo Real Estate, the German lender nationalised as a result of the financial crisis, plans to create what could be the country's biggest 'bad bank', spinning off up to €210bn of assets in a step towards an anticipated return to private ownership.
The proposal would cut the bank's balance sheet by more than half and would pass unwanted assets such as state bonds and nonperforming property loans into a government-backed vehicle to be wound down over a number of years.
Germany's government has backed the creation of so-called bad banks as a way to help stricken institutions get rid of unwanted assets and avoid writedowns that would further impair balance sheets.


This summer, Rogue Ales & Spirits releases Combat Wombat, a collision of styles and flavors, bursting with intensity and personality.
The fierce combination of a Northeast-style hazy IPA brewed with Australian hops and a sour ale with blood orange and grapefruit inspired both Combat Wombat's name and its striking label design.
Given only the name and a pint of Combat Wombat, Rogue Graphic Designer Evan Bartholomew got to work drawing and designing Rogue's newest creation.
Combat Wombat label art was created by Rogue's in-house graphic designer Evan Bartholomew.
Combat Wombat is available in 22 ounce bottles and on draft in all Rogue pubs through October. Use the Rogue Finder to find it near you.

During the proceedings, the court was informed by the prosecution that questioning of the actor-producer was continuing.
Babu's lawyers told the court that he was cooperating with the investigation.
The actor-producer landed at Cochin International Airport on Wednesday and hours later on the same day appeared before the police for questioning as directed by the high court.
The high court, on May 31, while restraining the police and immigration department from arresting him till June 2 had directed Babu to appear before the investigating officer immediately after arriving here.
After he appeared before the police on June 1, he was questioned for several hours.
The court's directions had come on a plea moved by Babu seeking anticipatory bail in the rape case against him.
In his plea, Babu has alleged that the rape case has been filed against him to blackmail him.
He has been accused of allegedly sexually assaulting a female actor and disclosing the victim's identity through a Facebook live session.
He has claimed that he was innocent and was "highly aggrieved" by the one-sided approach of the authorities to make him a "scapegoat for the purpose of news and the media."
As the producer, who is also the founder of the production company Friday Film House, disclosed the survivor's name and identity, which is an offence, another case was also slapped on him.
The woman, who appeared in movies produced by Vijay Babu's production house, lodged a complaint with the police on April 22 and detailed through a Facebook post the physical assault and sexual exploitation she had allegedly suffered at the hands of the producer-actor for the past one-and-half months.

Post is sign of deeper issue
By JANN BLACKSTONE
Q: I have been married to my wife for a year and a half. Today is the third anniversary of the death of her first husband. We share a
Facebook account, and this morning she posted a memorial about how much her first husband is missed. I was embarrassed and told her so. We share the account, and I felt stupid. She said she did it for her teenage kids -- but there is no mention of "father" in the post. What's good ex-etiquette here?
A: Although the sentiment is appropriate, the way it was presented was not. Posting a memorial would have been a lovely gesture if done from the perspective of the children and a missed father. But now that your wife has remarried, and especially since you share the account, reminiscing about a love that has passed probably was embarrassing for you and as a result, bad ex-etiquette.
Truth is, when someone dies he or she is memorialized in our mind and heart and stays with us forever. Those feelings may stay with us, too, even though we move on and share our life with someone else. But that doesn't mean you have to tell everyone by posting it for all the world to see. You might tell your best friend in person and in private, even the kids in the way that "you know I will always love your father." Even while the memories of the past remain, once someone remarries, your allegiance -- especially to the outside world -- belongs to the current spouse.
Does that mean you shouldn't talk with your new partner about a spouse who has passed? Of course not. It's important to share those feelings so the new partner knows exactly what he or she is getting into. But one also has to examine how quickly they move on after the death of a spouse. Remarrying a year and a half after losing a partner may not have given your wife enough time to fully grieve, and now it's catching up with her. If that's the case, you may have to go through the grieving process with her if you want to stay together -- and that can be quite unsettling to a new marriage.
Rather than look at this as a Facebook faux pas, look at it as a symptom of the real problem and suggest your wife seek counseling. As her therapy gets under way, it would not be unusual if the counselor asks you to join her in session, and then offer tools that will enable you to walk the path to your future together.
Q: I just read about two celebrities who are throwing a party to announce their divorce. How do you two feel about something like this? Doesn't seem like good ex-
etiquette at all.
A: You're right -- it's not good ex-etiquette at all. It makes a mockery of marriage and is downright tacky, especially if children are involved. It's right up there with divorce announcements, which we also think are in bad taste. Divorce isn't funny, and the announcement of a divorce shouldn't be done to generate publicity. Kids' lives are turned upside-down, and more often than not former partners and their extended family emerge sad and brokenhearted. It takes years for many people to get over a divorce, and some never do.
That said, what's a good way to let people know you're getting a divorce? The best is to respectfully mention it during a one-on-one conversation, making sure you don't bad-mouth your former partner (especially if you have children or even nieces or nephews) or offer too many gory details, creating a mess you'll have to mop up afterward. Although you might think it's a big surprise to your friends, most have a sense already. If they're good friends, the correct response is disappointment that it didn't work out, especially if they know that you've been working hard to overcome something.
Finally, it's very bad ex-etiquette to air your dirty laundry on a social media site. Once you write it, it's there for all to see. You may eventually delete it, but someone may have already printed it out.

Coal has been one of most valuable natural resources since the 1300s when the Hopi Indians used it for the first time. European settlers began to use coal in the late 1740s and as immigration to the US grew and energy demand increased, coal production quickly climbed from 9.3 million tons in 1850 to 750 million in 1918. Eventually coal replaced wood as the primary energy source, and by the 1940s it provided up to 75 of US energy.
Bituminous coal was the first main target of US mining. This changed between 1843 and 1868 when more anthracite began to be mined. Anthracite was used in iron smelting, and this cleaner and smokeless alternative became the preferred fuel in cities. However, limited anthracite resources could not fulfill increasing demand. Production of sub-bituminous coal began to slowly rise; as of 2010 it was higher than bituminous coal production.
Until the 1950s coal was primary mined underground east of the Mississippi River. By the 1970s, the development of cheaper surface mining proved a viable alternative for the coal industry. Currently the Powder River Basin, the Appalachian Basin, and the Illinois Basin are among the largest coal producers in the US.
In the early 1950s, oil and natural gas became the primary source of US energy. Today, petroleum, natural gas, and coal provide 87% of US energy, and coal is used mostly for electricity generation, steel and liquid fuels production, and cement manufacturing.
U.S. coal production dropped 37% in the last 10 years, from over 1.2 billion to about 800 million tons in 2017, cutting the number of coal mines. Coal consumption declined due to the increased supply of cheaper and cleaner natural gas, growth of renewable energy sources, and rigorous environmental regulations. Coal provided close to 60% of US electricity in the mid-1980s, and only about 30% in 2017. From 1,436 coal-powered plants in the US in 2009, about 600 remain as they are shut down due to aging and environmental guidelines.
Coal in Indiana was discovered along the banks of the Wabash River in 1736. Organized development of Indiana's coal resources began in the 1830s and by 1918, production exceeded 30 million short tons. Coal production declined following World War I, but underground (deep) mining remained the primary mining method in Indiana until the 1940s. Following World War II, the advent of large-scale excavation equipment made surface mining more cost efficient and by 1965, surface mining accounted for more than 80 percent of the state's annual production. Surface mining continues to be the primary method of coal removal in Indiana, with nearly 70 percent of the current production coming from surface mines.
Indiana has approximately 57 billion tons of unmined coal, of which nearly 17 billion tons is recoverable using current technology. Of the mineable reserves, about 88 percent is recoverable by underground mining and only 12 percent is recoverable usingsurface mining methods. Based on current production rates, Indiana's 17 billion tons of available coal could last more than 500 years.


I'm often asked by those in small business when they should turn their thoughts towards adopting some sort of board structure – and my stock answer is: it's never too soon.
I intentionally use the words 'some sort of board structure' as the SME landscape is a pretty expansive one, dotted with many companies that have succeeded as sole directorships and just as many that have thrived on external skills.
What's important is that there's a keen understanding of the divide between strategic and operational needs and the fact that both require focus and attention. And if internal skills don't allow for this, we need to look outside for these people. Whether they then act in an advisory capacity or are appointed to a more formal board structure doesn't really matter. What does is that we appreciate the need and are prepared to listen and learn.
My experience is that people of this ilk are smart enough to recognise that they don't have all the skills and soon surround themselves with really good people, sometimes on an advisory body, sometimes on a more formal board. I like to see it as liberating the company by taking the 'ME' out of SME.
Nothing's quite that simple, though, and the next challenge comes in selecting the right people, with the right skills. All too often I've seen small companies assume that you get an accountant here, a lawyer there and you've pretty much got your board, you don't need to look any further.
You do. You need to find the perfect skill set, one that appreciates your current strategic position, understands your five-year vision and adds value to what should be a successful journey.
It may be that you need an accountant, but it may be more specific than that, say one with franchising experience. Then again, it might be that your company wishes to spread geographically, perhaps even offshore – which would make someone with international experience a handy asset!
Of course, even with the right people in place, keeping abreast of governance best practice can be a real headache, especially as respected research tells us that almost 80 per cent of board members, while valuing ongoing training, simply can't find time for it in their busy schedules.
It's a scary finding – and one I suspect may be even higher in the SME domain, which is why I believe our most recent offering, Board Minded, will prove to be a major boon for the sector.
If you haven't heard about it, Board Minded is our new world-first online portal subscription service designed to keep time-poor board members skilled in best practice governance.
Subscribers get a wide selection of online presentations, all delivered by some of the finest minds in the business. They're then free to watch the presentations as a group or individually, as often as they please and always at a time that's most convenient.
It's a great product for SMEs and I look forward to sharing it with you when you're ready.

There are three more days left of Microcampus. Three. Equivalent to the sum of one and two; one more than three. With only three more days left of Microcampus, we have to make these concluding days count. We have to disregard the pressure and tension my groupmates and I experienced editing our Service Learning video this morning. We have to ensure the connections we made in Xizhou will not be forgotten -- my Service Learning group and I need to go and hug Mr. Li, a honorable gentleman who have given us unique insight into his memories during our time with him.
The Microcampus Voyagers pivotal priority today was to finish editing and translating our Service Learning movie. My Service Learning group -- Sunny, Josie, Anders, and I had two hours of film and we had to synopsize or condense the central points of Mr. Li's (our Service Learning partner) life as well as incorporating his values and principles all within a five-minute video.
Today during lunch, Mr. T showed us two videos: The 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship Opening and Mr. T's Treat Your Mother Right. I learned today that Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhytmic and vigorious exercises with stretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility, muscle fitness and cardio-vascular fitness). After witnessing intense aerobic dance moves and the amount of calories burned through aerobics, I want to do aerobics for Wellness Time!
I thought I had a real comment. I really did. Turns out, it was from Ethan Z.
My final product is to create a blog/website unveiling or un-ghosting the statement and meaning of the propaganda message "人民公社万岁" which in English, translates to "Long Live the People's Communes". My thesis is: In my efforts to decipher the existing wall propaganda messages in Xizhou, I considered the dynamic between contrasting generations time periods, the purpose of the propaganda statements, and the repercussions. I was looking for a blog that would have easy drag and drop methods and nice formatting for my information in order to maintain or prove my thesis.

Yesterday night for evening activity the entire Voyagers Microcampus group traveled to Dali Old Town! We were permitted the gift of eating western food.
Last night for Evening Activity my Service Learning group (Anders L., Sunny Q., Josie C.)and I competed against other groups in Mr. T's All-Star Wiz-Bang Super Duper Trivia Night! The teams were "8th Graders", Sweet Baba, Alaskan Billy Goats, and Connect Four (my team). Our "Connect Four" team costume was four jackets zipped together to create four conjoined quadruplets.
This afternoon from 3:00-4:00 pm during Wellness time Sam B. and I went bike riding! We turned left when we arrived at the ficus tree and rode forward when we reached Xizhou's most dangerous intersection. Sam and I agreed to explore and wander through unfathomable alleys and streets to branch out of our comfort zones for personal growth. The two of us cycled through sludge, dust, and soot.
I never knew tea could be circular until I met Sunny Q.
One aspect you must know about Xizhou is that there are animals everywhere - on the streets of Sifangjie, by the Linden Centre, along Erhai lake, beside the Canola fields, and even more. During our camping trip on March 23rd the Microcampus Voyagers saw a flightless swift-running African bird with a long neck, long legs, and two toes on each foot. We saw an ostrich. On Microcampus, I have built a resistance to petting animals because we aren't allowed to touch any animals due to safety related issues.
The Microcampus Voyagers group arrived back in Yangzhuoran after a night of camping at 10 am in the morning. We arranged and structured our tents' framework to let the tents air out and let any condensation evaporate. After lunch, Josie C., Sunny Q., and I played with Sofie!
Yesterday we hiked up Cangshan mountain, which is called Jicaosei in Bai language, it consists of 19 peaks with 18 streams with entrancing waterfalls and magnificent cliffs. The mountain produces great marble as well as lots of botanical species like traditional herbs and wild flowers. We first hiked 600 meters vertically up to the Zhonghe temple and then we walked the Jade Belt. The Jade Belt is a walking path paved the distance of 12 to 20 km.
Last night for evening activity we had an inTENse session about setting up tents. Our lives were at STAKE because we might have gotten deTENTion if we weren't able to complete the task. We were all nervous to make miSTAKES. We met in the Yangzhuoran courtyard at 7:05 and picked our tent partner - my tent roommate is Shirley and we will be sleeping in tent #4. After we chose our roommate and got our tents, Mr. T demonstrated the slip knot, which will come in handy for the rest of our lives.

Today Josie C., Sunny Q., Anders L., and I went to Sifangjie to print out and laminate the photo we took with Mr. Li. While the photo was being processed from the computer to the printer, the four of us sat down on a bench and started to draft a message to put on the back of the photo. We agreed with writing our names in both English and Chinese, however, the message would be in Chinese.
Tonight the Evening Activity committee have planned for us to have a trivia night! Our groups are our Service Learning partners. My teammates are Josie, Sunny, and Anders. All the different groups must have a distinct "style" or theme that symbolizes or emphasizes our personalities and group dynamic.

The sky in Xizhou is an endless canvas tossed upon with colors. Some days it is pure, uninterrupted blue that stretches seamlessly. Dashes of white. Fire frenzies. Myriads of colors. Some nights it is a rich blue black, a furry blanket of lavish cobalt -- dotted with clouds. Stormy grey. Clear. Sprinkled with stars, ethereal blue. Scudding clouds. The pellucid azure dome is mesmerizing. This blue vault, locked every one of our thoughts, our dreams, our secrets. And ignorant people say "it's only the sky". It's not only the sky in Xizhou.
Today Josie, Anders, Sunny, and I enjoyed afternoon tea with Mr. Li at his house. Not only did we drink the tea, but we were taught how to make the tea. The first step was to use a hammer and crack open the walnuts. Then, we would use a cheese-like shredder to grate the walnuts in order to create walnut flakes. While we were doing this, Mr.
My service learning group is Sunny Q., Anders L., and Josie C. Today we went out to Sifangjie to make new connections. We met seven new sociable and hospitable people - two Mr. Yang's, Ms. Zhao, two Ms. Yang's, Ms. Ye, and Mr. Li. Mr. Yang sells fruit and vegetables by DongAnMen, his family invited the four of us to dinner at 7:00pm tonight! Ms. Yang (not related to Mr.
Today all 16 Microcampus students have been given the opportunity to visit two places: the tie-dye village in Zhoucheng or the wind farm. I chose to explore the wind farm because there are enormous windmills with sails or vanes that whirl in the wind and generate power to grind grain into flour. Machinery at its finest. I can not wait to stand over the towering hills and see the windmills and acres and acres of glaucous grass below. This afternoon will definitely be a memorable adventure!
Although this is Day 6 of Microcampus, Day 5 must be written about because it was a phenomenal adventure!
Today was our first day of legitimate field work at Microcampus! Mr. Chen was my teacher support for my topic: Government Graffiti and Wall Propaganda Messages in Xizhou. Mr. Chen and I walked down to the Ficus tree and entered Dong An Men, which led us to a small tie-dye textile shop next to a cheese workshop. It was there that I met Mr. Yin, the blithe owner of exquisite textiles. Mr. Yin is the husband of Zhang Jie, who is an employee at the cheese workshop. Mr. Yin is the fourth generation of the Yin family and has been living in Xizhou all his life.
Today I had lunch out with Austin, Sunny, and Anders. We walked through Si Fang Jie with an anchored concentration on establishing new connections with the locals in Xizhou. We walked through artistic intricate tie-dye textiles on the south-east street of Si Fang Jie. When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by Shun 爷爷 who asked us enthusiastically to come and enjoy a meal.
Today all 16 Voyagers received our official biking certification in order to ride around Xizhou! We were split into two groups, girls and boys, for our cycling practice and test. We learned about the acronym S.A.F.E which stands for space (between the road, sidewalk, and people around you), avoidance (from obstacles), focus (on biking), and effective communication (between the other Voyagers). To ensure well-being we used many phrases and signals while navigating the Xizhou village.
I never understood what complete silence actually meant until I stared at the sun setting on the terrace. Mr. T brought all of us to the back courtyard of the Linden Centre and showed us a stone over thousands of years old sitting on the grass of a section of the courtyard. After that, he guided us up on the stairs of the rooftop, known as the Terrace, and we all pulled out chairs and sat down. It took my eyes about a whole minute to adjust to the absolutely breathtaking view. The field of the bright yellow canola plants stretched for miles and miles.
Today the 2018 Microcampus Puxi Voyagers group arrived in Dali. After we picked up our luggage we walked towards the bus station and were greeted by our bus driver Mr. Du. We were given a challenge by Mr. T to load 18 suitcases onto the bus without the help of adults. We went through many trial and error phases, where we kept rotating the largest suitcases or trying to squish the smaller suitcases inside. After we finally accomplished the task, we all went on the bus. During our ride from Dali to Xizhou, we had a surprise visitor Max (aka Mr.

Microcampus is a journey I've been looking forward to since sixth grade. Previous eighth graders have told me how Microcampus altered their perspectives and modified themselves as active members of the future generation. I looked up to them with admiration -- desperately hoping that when I transition to an eighth grader, I'll be able to undergo the Mircrocampus experience. Now here I am, an SAS Puxi representative of the 2018 Microcampus trip!


It's a warm summer's afternoon, the rowers are splashing on the Avon, the picnic rug is set under the parasols, and the butler has just announced afternoon tea… does it get more English?
We can't all teleport back to Oxford in the 1920s, but we can experience traditional English afternoon tea through the sophisticated and delicate food tradition of high tea.
No-one does a good high tea better than the English, and no high tea would be complete without those delicate, mouth-watering morsels known as tea sandwiches (along with some scones with cream and jam!). Here are our picks for the top seven English sandwich recipes to look out for.
When it comes to traditional English recipes, nothing gets more quaintly reminiscent of lawn bowls and afternoon tea than a perfect cucumber tea sandwich.
This delicate mouthful needs to be made with care and finesse: the bread should be crustless, the cucumbers peeled and seedless, and the butter fresh and thick. Don't even bother if they're not freshly made, and we're going to suggest you become a proper English tea sandwich snob and turn your nose up if they're not cut into delicate triangles. Pass the Earl Grey, darling!
A classic for the classy, no high tea array of English tea sandwiches would be complete without the intoxicating aromas of smoked salmon, on a bed of crème fraiche or cream cheese, and with the merest hint of dill. Rye or Pumpernickel bread are acceptable here, and we'll even grant you a few translucent slices of English cucumber. If it smells fishy, forget it — the salmon may be old.
Quintessentially English, the egg salad sandwich is a stalwart of afternoon teas across Britain. A good egg salad sandwich consists of lightly hardboiled eggs, mashed with mayonnaise or yoghurt, and well seasoned with salt, pepper, and perhaps something daring like a sprinkle of chives or paprika. And, of course, a thick layer of the best English butter (preferably organic and from grass-fed cows for the best flavour).
A good egg salad sandwich should be moist but not soggy; rich but not sickening; and eggy but not sulphurous. If you can smell it from more than a metre away, the eggs may be overcooked or old — stay away!
White bread is compulsory here, crusts are best trimmed, and multiple layers of filling and bread, neatly cut, would be most welcome. For a taste of Harrod's-style tea sandwiches, simply add some watercress for a classic 'egg-and-cress' experience. Subtle but exquisite.
Every good English patriot makes more roast beef than they need, so they can enjoy that special treat of a roast beef sandwich the next day. It's the horseradish that makes it extra special, lifting the flavours of the roast beef and transforming them into a delicacy. Watch out for dry or curled looking slices of roast beef: this shows it might be old and tough. When it comes to traditional English recipes, roast beef sandwiches are really the cream of the crop.
Don't even bother going here unless it's the height of summer and you can find beautifully ripe, tasty, English-grown tomatoes. The tasteless watery pulp grown in hothouses or imported don't deserve the name. A great English tomato tea sandwich should have slices of juicy, flavoursome tomato, a thick spread of good butter to prevent the bread from going soggy, a hearty bread, and a good sprinkle of salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Look for heirloom tomato varieties, which come in all sorts of beautiful colours ranging from blacks, purples, and greens, to the traditional reds, and even orangey-pink. If the bread looks soggy, forget it!
England produces some fine craft cheeses, and there's no better way to try them than in that classic ploughman's fare, the cheese and pickle sandwich. The piquancy of the pickle should be not too sour, not too sweet, and offset the richness of the cheese. Look for English classic cheeses such as Wensleydale, and places that make their own pickle.
A classic 'next day' sandwich, nothing beats a sandwich filled with thickly sliced ham off the bone, fine English mustard, and perhaps a little cheese. Free-range ham will taste the best — pale shaved supermarket ham, cured in chemicals, has nothing on the thick rustic slices of traditional English recipes. Wholegrain mustard works here, as do some fresh salad greens — something robust like radicchio, even — and a few slices of ripe tomato, when in season. A nice rye or wholegrain bread goes well with the richness of the fatty meat.
If you happen to come across a delicious ham and mustard sandwich featuring a good melting cheese like Raclette, try toasting it or having it toasted for a radical combination of English and French cuisines — ploughman's fare meets the croque monsieur!
There are other delicious combinations out there, but these are the classics when it comes to English tea sandwiches. Stick to simple, tried-and-true combinations, fresh ingredients, and avoid soggy or old-looking offerings, and you can't go wrong.
Now, pour yourself a fragrant cup of tea with milk and a sugar cube, stir it with a dainty teaspoon, and lift one of those delicate little triangles to your mouth… we hope you're on a lawn somewhere in the sun, watching the cricket, because it doesn't get more English than this!


Looks much better in these studio pics than the few official press pics Toyota released.
The STi's turbo 2.5 would be ever better, but if they keep the weight superlow it should be fine. I can't imagine it being smaller than the Mini though and being a 2+2. The scale is probably a bit off but judging from the rake of the roofline, you'd have to be a decapitated midget to fit in the back of that, especially if it's RWD.
Nice comparo info. I'm liking this car more and more.
after your excellent comparison photos, i'm liking this car more and more.
we need more photochops with rims and suspension, like in page 4!
Holy cow that thing is tiny.
I'm gonna hit the streets and find out....brb.
Looks ok so far. But I think for it to truly sell it might need a bit more than a NA 2.0.
If the weight is under 2500 it will be a killer with a boxer turbo.
As far as exterior goes....it's pretty meh to me. It looks like a 370/IS/tC. It's lacking that "something".
The Toyota FT-86 Concept has just been officially revealed to the public at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, and despite its ostensible similarity to the AE86 Corolla, there's been a persistent rumor of the return of the Celica nameplate for the car's retail sales debut.
With its rear-wheel-drive layout, 2 + 2 seating configuration and coupe styling, it's a fair question as to which car it more closely resembles. In its later iterations the Celica was a front-driver, but the earliest Celicas, and the cars that spawned the legendary Supra, were rear-drive machines.
The Corolla nameplate in the U.S. has also lived on in the Celica's absence, itself morphing into a budget front-driver. So finding a way to slot the decidedly sporty and un-modern-Corolla-like Toyota-Subaru joint sports coupe into the Corolla range presents its own set of complications. Thus the talk of reviving the Celica badge.
With a 2.0-liter Subaru boxer engine piping 200-plus horsepower through a six-speed manual transmission, the production version of the FT-86 is looking like it will be well up to the task of carrying the Celica flag, especially with an expected starting price of around $25,000.
Fans of the Celica, and especially the Supra, will no doubt cheer the rumors on--discounting the highly exclusive and seriously expensive Lexus LF-A's emergence, the lack of sport cars anywhere under the Toyota umbrella has been too severe for too long. And though Toyota may not be planning a high-performance Supra version--yet, anyway--Subaru is thought to be working on an STI variant of the coupe, though even the standard Subaru sports coupe hasn't yet been given the production green light.
Of course, there's no official confirmation of the Celica's return yet, but with the car due to appear for retail sale by late 2011, Toyota will be laying the groundwork at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office soon enough. As always, we'll keep our ears to the ground to bring you the latest.

That's a different car though, hope it looks as nice.
Was the world really waiting for the return of the "Celica" name?
Figures, the article is almost one-and-a-half years old.
I don't understand the RWD Subaru in the States. Doesn't Subaru have the "every car we make is an AWD" campaign? Toyota RWD makes more sense.
^ True, this whole collaboration doesn't really make sense. You'd think Toyota has plenty small/efficient engines that can fit in the FT-86. Nevertheless, it'll be an awesome car when it comes out.
Somebody will break their trend to bring this to the States.
is there any new news about a 240sx? or is that pretty much not happening like a new NSX?
REPORT: Convertible planned for Toyota and Subaru joint sports car.
A senior official at Toyota revealed that the automaker may launch a convertible version of its upcoming sports car if demand is strong enough.
While most sports car fans everywhere are waiting with bated breath for the new Toyota FT-86 to arrive from the Land of the Rising Sun, some of us are a little bit more excited about the car's Subaru cousin. Why is that, especially considering that the FT-86 appears to be kinda just what the doctor ordered (rear-wheel drive, 200 horsepower, light, cheap)? Well, for one thing, Subarus are all-wheel drive. And while rear-wheel driven sports cars definitely have their charms (earlier rumors even suggested that Fuji Heavy (i.e. Subaru) was even caving and going rear-drive with its version of the Toyobaru), there's really little in life as fun as blasting down a gravel road at a seemingly unsafe clip while kicking up mountainous clouds of dust. Plus, you know, rain and all that.
Then there's the engine. Our pals at Inside Line are reporting that the Subaru iteration of the FT-86 will have more power – 250 hp according to them. Using Jeremy Clarkson-style logic, 250 hp is better than 200 hp. Because it's more. IL claims that the Toyobaru will use a version of the just-developed-for-the-FT-86 flat-four 2.0-liter engine – supposedly naturally aspirated like in the FT-86.
But here's the thing – the smallest engine Subaru offers American consumers these days is a 2.5-liter boxer. And that motor, turbo-tuned for WRX duty, makes 265 hp (though we've driven it and we'd wager it kicks out a bit more than that). Why would Subaru put a smaller, weaker engine into a $30,000 coupe ($30,000 according to the IL article) than the motor they stick in the $25,000 WRX? Exactly –we don't think they would.
Inside Line also says the Subaru version will be larger than the Toyota car because of a "stretched platform." We're not sure if that means longer or wider – or both – but we'd err on the side of longer, as in more backseat room. What we're looking at then, is a big-ish, AWD coupe with a lot of power. Can you say 2011 SVX? We knew you could.
Toyota debuts TURBO Ft-86 at Tokyo Autosalon!
Toyota just debuted a turbo FT-86 concept model at the Tokyo show. Totally unexpected by people.
Its powered by a turbo boxer 4 engine w/ toyota 6speed.

The Intersection of Disability with Substance Use and Addiction
"As many as one in four adults have a disability and up to one in 12 have addiction to alcohol or drugs yet little is known about their intersection or more broadly about substance use among people with disabilities. The complex interplay of social, economic, and health factors associated with disability are also risk factors for substance use, unhealthy use, and addiction.." – By Sharon Reif, Margaret T. Lee and Emily Ledingham
Indigenous Health and Connection to Country
"There are an estimated 370 million Indigenous peoples living in more than 70 countries. Indigenous populations are defined as the First Peoples occupying countries or regions at times of colonization, with distinct cultural, religious, and social practices that distinguish them from other populations. Indigenous peoples across the globe have deep, intimate, holistic, localized, and reciprocal relationships and connections to their "Country" (as it is known in Australia), which includes elements of the land, sea, waterways, sky, stars, and living and nonliving entities... – By Alister Thorpe, Aryati Yashadhana, Brett Biles, Emily Munro-Harrison, and Jonathan Kingsley

The L Word: Generation Q and Work in Progress Season 2 Trailers!
By: Author Mirko Parlevliet
Showtime has released the trailers for the second seasons of The L Word: Generation Q and Work in Progress, both premiering in August. You can view both trailers by using the players below.
The L Word: Generation Q returns with its first new episode of the second season on Friday, August 6, available on streaming and on-demand for all Showtime subscribers. Before making its on-air debut on Sunday, August 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, each new episode of the second season will be available on Fridays to stream via on-demand.
The first five episodes of season two will air Sunday nights, with the final five episodes of the season airing Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT up until its October 11 season finale.
This season of The L Word: Generation Q kicks off in the aftermath of Sophie's (Rosanny Zayas) decision at the airport as she, Dani (Arienne Mandi), and Finley (Jacqueline Toboni) are all left to pick up the pieces. Meanwhile, Bette's (Jennifer Beals) personal and professional pursuits force her to reexamine her roots — something Angie (Jordan Hull) also questions and explores in her own way.
In the wake of her divorce, Shane (Katherine Moennig) throws herself into finding new ways to keep the bar thriving, while Alice (Leisha Hailey) is surprised when writing her first book steers her whole life in a new direction.
Micah (Leo Sheng) is pushed to reckon with his identity as he navigates big changes in his career and love life, while Gigi's (Sepideh Moafi) journey to move on from Nat (guest star Stephanie Allynne) and Alice takes an unexpected turn.
Based on the groundbreaking drama series The L Word, season two of The L Word: Generation Q will continue to follow the intermingled lives of Bette Porter (Beals), Shane McCutcheon (Moennig), Alice Pieszecki (Hailey), Dani Nùñez (Mandi), Micah Lee (Sheng), Sarah Finley (Toboni), Sophie Suarez (Zayas), Gigi Ghorbani (Moafi), and Angelica Porter-Kennard (Hull) as they experience love, heartbreak, setbacks and success in L.A.
Season two is executive produced by showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan (The Four-Faced Liar, 6 Balloons), along with series creator Ilene Chaiken, Kristen Campo, Allyce Ozarski, Maisha Closson, and original series stars Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig and Leisha Hailey. Emmy winner Rosie O'Donnell (SMILF), Donald Faison (Scrubs), Emmy, Academy Award nominee Griffin Dunne (House of Lies, This Is Us) and Vanessa Williams (Candyman) have signed on to guest star in multiple episodes.
The 10-episode second season of the acclaimed comedy series Work in Progress will premiere with two episodes airing back to back, beginning Sunday, August 22 at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
Work in Progress stars series co-creator Abby McEnany, who writes with showrunner and director Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix). In its first season, Work in Progress received a nomination from the GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series; scored a 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer; and garnered widespread viewer and critical praise, which touted the series' universal appeal, heart and humor.
McEnany was nominated for a Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Performance in a New Scripted Series and won a Gracie Award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Breakthrough Role.
Based on her own life, the second season of Work in Progress picks back up with McEnany's character Abby in the wake of her breakup (and almost out of almonds). A 46-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke, Abby begrudgingly accepts that she's too busy to kill herself. In fact, she's just starting to get her head above water… when a global pandemic converges with a family emergency and forces her into uncharted territory.
Returning this season are Celeste Pechous as Campbell, Armand Fields as King, Karin Anglin as Alison, Bruce Jarchow as Edward, Theo Germaine as Chris and Julia Sweeney, appearing as herself.
Work in Progress is executive produced by Abby McEnany and Lilly Wachowski. Lawrence Mattis and Josh Adler of Circle of Confusion also serve as executive producers with Tony Hernandez of JAX Media and Julia Sweeney. The Showtime series was created by Abby McEnany & Tim Mason.

"While trawling through this week's normal helter-skelter barrage of free software and open source news items, opinion pieces and analyzing ponderings a couple of pieces caught my eye. These are the BBC's article entitled 'Charity shuns open source code' and Silicon.com's one called 'CIO Jury: The Linux desktop is dead.' When first seeing these pessimistic pieces of free software doom and gloom, I confess my immediate reaction, as an advocate and developer, was one of misery, depression and fed-upness. Was it all worth it? What is the point? Where is the bright side? Should I simply go outside and step under a bus?

Haplogroup R1b is common among populations of Western Europe with specific distribution in Ireland, Western Wales, Scottish Highlands, Atlantic fringes of France, North Sea coast of Europe, Catalonia and Basque country. It has also been traced among populations in Anatolia and Caucasus, Central and South Asia as well as in some parts of Russia. Other hotspots populated with people with this haplogroup include Armenia, Po valley in the north-central parts of Italy, Turkmenistan, among Hazara populations in Afghanistan, Uyghurs of China who dwell in North-West of the country and in Nepal among the Newars.
Currently, the subclade R1b is dominant among ethnic minorities of Russia living in Volga-Ural region. R1b is present among the Xinjiang of north-west China, among the Yaghnobi populations living in Tajikistan and Bashkirs of Russia.
Among the most prominent personalities with R1b-L11 subclade is John Adams who was the second president of US and his son John Quincy Adams who was the 6th president of the US.
A subclade R1b-V88 has been traced among specific populations of sub-Saharan Africa and in the northern parts of Cameroon. The R1b tribes are descendants of mammoth hunters dating back to the Neolithic period, about 12 000 years ago. The original homeland of R1b is believed to be Cayӧnü Tepesi in Turkey and Dja'de el-Mughara in Iraq. The haplogroup has been traced among the populations that lived in Egypt and Southern Levant around 7, 000 – 6 500 BCE. These people led a nomadic lifestyle and must have roamed the Sahara desert which by this Neolithic Subpluvial period about 7250-3250 BCE must have been more humid, presenting perfect conditions for the savannah grass to grow leading to ideal environment for herding cattle.
Currently, R1b-V88 subclade is found among the Lebanese, Jews and Druze and in most parts of Africa to the north of the equator. The Berbers living on the Egypt-Libyan border and among the Sudanese populations, Hausa population of Sudan, among the Sahel of the Niger and Chadic tribes Nigeria. This subclade has also been traced among the native populations of South Africa, Rwanda, Congo, Namibia, Gabon, Congo, Angola, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.
The Ojibwe appear to be nearly 80% R1B and only 4% other "European" Y haplotypes. Some of the other tribes that have elevated levels of R1b are in northwestern Canada and in some cases are Dene. There are apparently high rates of R1b among the Dene who migrated into the southern U.S. about 400 years ago (the Navaho and Apache). Of course, there are other tribes in eastern and central North America that have significant amounts of R1b but they also have significant amounts of other "European" Y haplotypes and a history of heavy intermarriage with whites, so I wouldn't make too much of the R1b in those tribes – examples are MicMac, Quebec Cree and Cherokee.

Lessons From a Patent Attorney
Sydney Greene
What does your Business do?
Shah IP Law, PLLC primarily works with startup tech companies and helps protect their innovations. They use a data-driven approach to create strategic portfolios that improve valuations, generate investor interest, and improve business outcomes.
What did you learn early on?
"About six months into my startup journey, I learned that there is a vast difference between generating customer demand and generating customer love," said Samar Shah, Founder at Shah IP Law, PLLC, a patent strategy law firm that primarily works with startups.
"There are hundreds of ways to 'hack' your way towards growth, especially when you are a new market entrant. But not all growth is equal. I learned very quickly that all of the 'growth hack' strategies that we were using to grow our customer base were becoming less effective literally by the day."
However, Shah notes that his firm was able to enjoy sustained growth when he "finally got the product and service offering dialed-in just right." He notes that "in addition to serving clients as a traditional legal service provider, [the firm] offers data-driven insights to clients to help them make better business decisions. For example, the firm uses data analytics to figure out which patents startups should pursue based on historic valuations and deal activity in particular verticals. Moreover, the firm uses data analytics to carve out large swaths of white spaces that clients can strategically occupy in a patent landscape to generate investor demand. By doing this, we not only fulfill a core customer need, but we also delight our clients by going way above and beyond a traditional legal service provider's offering." Shah concludes that once his firm "got this part just right, the firm's clients couldn't help but share our approach and our solutions with others. We were able to grow through customer love at a much more sustained level than we ever could by simply generating customer demand."
What do you wish you'd known sooner or before you got started?
"I wish I had known the value and the importance of differentiation before I got started," said Shah. "When I started the law firm, I had a vague notion of how the firm would be different than other law firms out there. But we didn't make a ton of headway until we figured out our single most important advantage as a law firm." Shah defines an advantage as something that is "important to the customer, measurable, and own-able." "For us, we wanted to be a data-driven law firm that helps clients make smarter IP decisions. We weren't able to stand out until we got that down, both in our marketing, but also in our service offering."
What would you say to others starting out?
"If you are starting out, I recommend that you do a ton of experimentation, and start using data as your north star," Shah notes that he received a lot of advice when he started out, but quickly realized that most of it were not very helpful or relevant to his business. "I had to learn to conduct mini-experiments on the cheap to test various offerings and their merits. If you are going to succeed, you have to learn how to test ideas and figure out whether they work for your specific business."
