Really? Brands have accepted that talking with customers no longer means talking at. But are they really ready for interactive conversation? Don't get me wrong, I applaud the move to a higher level of engagement. I merely wonder how the brands benefit from advertising agencies occupying this intermediary ground, especially when the brands livelihoods increasingly depend on their ability to respond immediately.
Implicit in a conversation is receiving, or listening made clear in non-verbal posture and behavior as much as words.
As Dave Carroll's viral video demonstrated, brand reputation can suffer when listening isn't followed by appropriate responses. Brand management teams everywhere noticed how translating a bad customer service experience into song boosted Taylor guitars' reputation while tarnishing that of United Airlines . What got Carroll's goat was the lack of response by airline employees watching other employees manhandle his precious guitar. The colorful story in the hands of a capable songwriter also boosted, if not fired up, Carroll's brand.
To relegate the story as an abject lesson in Customer services misses the wider opportunity listening to your customers affords. Either way, how will hiring a savvy intermediary help resolve issues, deliver authentic feedback to product development or spawn key insights into the changing behavior of customers for helping a company adapt and ultimately survive?
Why would a company want to pass on the opportunities listening and responsive internal systems can foster? There's great value in using smart analytic systems to mine the exchange of key word morsels caught in dialogues with customer service, sales or technical support.
As Peter Shankman, steak lover, discovered one day last year when he had no time or energy to grab dinner out, but longed for the simplicity and consistency of Morton's reliably delicious meals. As he describes it, one tongue in cheek tweet before taking off for home resulted in the surprise service of a lifetime. One only Morton's could coördinate and deliver because they were listening to one of their most loyal customers far from home!
In the era of big data, business intelligence software has been actively integrating the new feeds and applying similar processes. The merging of collaboration, productivity and newer intelligence tools that digest input from a variety of listening posts shows great promise and opportunity. I haven't seen Cognistreamer, one of a number of collaborative and innovation platforms; but I understand it combines feeds from social media, customer service and internal correspondence to allow more fluid interaction across sources operating within and outside the enterprise. I'm sure IBM and Microsoft are busy at work bringing these capabilities to their platform suites as well, I'm just not sufficiently in the loop to know.
I applaud the move toward authentic conversation that can displace the reign of the focus group or on the spot pop-up survey whether it's at the mall or online. But I'm not sure I buy that ad agencies, or even Dave Carroll's newly launched Gripevine service, and clever communications can effectively close the natural gap between producer and consumer. If I'm looking for a custom fit, or personal response how can any agency deliver, no matter how clever or deft at communications they may be, the goods and or service I'm seeking?
I wish sparks & honey luck, but I do hope that brands looking to capitalize on the rising consciousness of consumers are also thinking a little more about finding ways to share the responsibilities for insight and innovation across their enterprise. Giving everyone equal opportunity to engage with customers and share insights that wider conversations make possible, is certainly a great start to creating an innovation pipeline.
The conclusion is pretty obvious right? I'm more likely to remember something that I already know. So, if I read the article correctly, this is what I learned.
New product launches have an 85-90% failure rate.
45% couldn't name a single one at all.
OK, so what is going on here? If you haven't seen the list of most memorable launches, you might guess that Apple and Microsoft were in the #1 and 2 spot. I'm betting in a survey of the most recognized brand names Apple and Microsoft would top that list too. Steve Jobs is legendary especially when it comes to new product launches. Microsoft, however has a completely different mojo about it, but its mere size impacts the market. The actual products that made the list, surprised me a bit.
Apple's iPAD, as I recall had a few hiccups on its launch; but that weak start out of the gate didn't last. Instead, the product generated that much more news coverage. It seems that there wasn't a corner in the world that hadn't heard or reported on this launch, and the reports just kept coming.
By comparison, in spite of the automatic announcements to every windows PC , 2010's #2 from Microsoft, the release of Windows 7 , surprised me. Yup, I don't know how many pings from Microsoft I got encouraging me to upgrade, but the news certainly didn't have the same excitement that surrounded Apple's iPad.
So, no surprise to read that most new products that hit the shelves go unnoticed; and that even more new products never even hit the shelves. In a survey where brands that dominate their market stack up against every other consumer product being launched, there's no secret to dominion. Of course holding a market position is another matter.
The power of Brand is an old story, and certainly when there are more than 250,000 products launched in a given year, one can see why being top of mind does readily correlate with sales. This is the ongoing case for advertising, creating buzz still matters. It's Buzz that increasingly makes social media matter too. Proof is in the success of companies that made the memorable list this year and waged significant integrated social media strategies.
Take Kimberly Clark, Kleenex, has been a household name for a long time. The brand is so synonymous with the product that it's hard to believe that anyone calls a tissue by any other name. Why would more buzz matter?
At the point of purchase , the Brand can command a higher price on the shelf than the surrounding competition. Kleenex to seal the sale needs to imprint more than its brand name. That's where social media can help.
Not long ago, I copied the following comment from a social media analyst , but sadly failed to keep the source link. ( If you know or are the author please let me know and I'll credit you).
company, you understand that social media is the biggest marathon we've ever run. This is a marathon, not a sprint. If you want to build a brand, it's a marathon. It's not trackable.
Are you trying to track, or correlate your social media efforts?
I'd love to know whether the decision-makers in your firm, or your clients, understand the changing nature of the game. Do they buy into the idea of the marathon? Or, are they still stuck in the old "campaign" cause and effect paradigm? Not sure my a solution guarantees your budget; but, word of mouth is still the king-maker in my world. If your buyers are talking, help them talk positively about your brand and the bottom line–receipts will speak for testify to its value .

Do you know how often should you clean your gun?
If you don't then today you will get your answer. In this article, I will be talking about how often should a firearm be cleaned. I will tell you when to clean your gun after each use or when you can let it be for some time.
If you are someone who fires a gun, you know exactly how became dirty the gun after shooting. You fire a single shot, and there is quite an amount of debris on the barrel. Not only that, but a blow-back operated gun also throws gases into the mix, making it even dirtier.
Q: How often should I clean my gun?
Many people wonder whether they should clean the gun after every use or leave it for a while. Yesterday, my friend asked me how often to clean a rifle and then I thought I should write about it. In short, let me answer your question. Generally, you should clean your gun barrels after each use. If you your gun or rifle is new then you easily clean. You can read our best rifle cleaning kit reviews to buy the perfect one.
Now, if you don't have time then you can wait three or four days. But I recommend you to clean your gun within 1 week after use. Having a good cleaning solvent is also very important.
Now let me talk about in depth. So, let's begin.
Corrosive priming wears down the gun pretty quickly. To avoid this, you should clean your gun after each shot you fire.
However, always keep in mind, the primer is either corrosive or not, there is no other way in between.
Also, there is also surplus ammo floating on the market that is less expensive.
Therefore, you can afford not to clean them after each usage. This ammo makes your gun dirty to a point where cleaning a single is not enough at all. So, it is better not to do it.
Modern-day ammo does not have this characteristic.
However, in case you use the older military surplus ammo you need to check properly. They have the primers. The two primers that are generally used are Berdan and Boxer.
Also, you should know this there are only two types of primer available on the market boxer and berden.
Berdan primed ammo is not much corrosive. These primers are hard to find in the US as well.
Now, this does not mean you would not have to clean your gun regularly with this primer. They contain AA Chlorate salts. These salts wear your gun down pretty quickly.
What is even more problematic is they do not get cleaned by most of the cleaning solvents available on the market.
As a result, you will definitely need a machine to do the job.
These are one of the most widely used primers as of now. Boxer primers along with a brass casing are the most favorite primer in indoor shooting ranges.
These casings also are not corrosive except for their surplus versions.
So, if you are not using the surplus ones, you need not worry.
Modern-day primers are made up mainly with a Lead Styphnate base. These primers do not cause residue buildup on the gun. So, it is not necessary to clean them after each shot you fire. However, I would suggest cleaning the bore with a cleaning solvent and a cleaning patch. In addition, you should also clean the exterior of the gun with it. This, in turn, helps prevent rust from damaging your gun.
Field stripping a gun is essential to maintain its performance level for years to come. The process removes a lot of residue build-up and ensures your gun stays functional for a long period of time. Otherwise, the gunk and grime can affect it pretty quickly and you will end up with a damaged firearm.
You should field strip your firearms to get rid of the carbon buildup in general. Without the field stripping, carbon buildup removal is a very difficult process.
Now, the process is different for several kinds of firearms. When it comes to pistols, I would suggest field stripping them fully and cleaning them after every single usage. On the other hand, pump action firearms, lever, and bolt firearms do not that regular field stripping. In addition, in case of semi-auto guns require more field stripping than the aforementioned ones, and that too with quite a lot of blowback.
You should definitely field strip your gun pretty often, regularly if possible. Now, in case you lead a very busy life, you would have to at least clean your gun with a bore snake.
What is the purpose of field stripping a gun?
How often should you clean your gun or firearm? Watch Video know more about it.
Now, as a final verdict, I would suggest you clean at least the barrels of your gun after each shot you fire. If not so, then you should absolutely clean the firearm within a few days, a week in maximum.
In general, you can clean modern guns with a lot less work and hassle on your part. In addition, you will have to keep in mind the age of the firearm, the firearm type, and of course, the ammo.
So, this is everything you need to know on the matter. If you have any more questions on your mind, or if you want me to talk about some other topic, please do let me know in the comments section below.

As you are reading this blog and this post, I am going to assume a couple of things about you, the reader.
I assume that you are most likely in EMS or have a healthy interest in it.
I assume that you are pretty much committed to learning as much as possible about the care you give your patients.
I assume that you are well read and subscribe to the ethos of delivering evidence based practice.
I assume that you are clinically up to date, or at least striving to be.
I assume that you are still very much in the minority of EMS providers.
Thats not to say that everyone else is bad and well behind the times (although there are some out there like that), just that as a group of professionals, there are many who are happy to just potter on and do what is expected of them on a day to day level.
The publication earlier this week of the 2010 AHA and ERC Resuscitation guidelines was hotly anticipated by providers all over the world.We were looking forward to some potentially radical changes which could provide real and significant increases in the survivability of our patients from out of hospital cardiac arrest.
Many bloggers and podcasters have addressed the issues and changes that have come from the new guidelines. So much so, that I am going to side step doing just that in this instance.
What frustrates and annoys me is that as we are being asked to be more professional in our actions, more professional in our reading and studying; more professional in our application of knowledge into practice and more professional in our duties, that we still cannot command the respect from many others that we actually know what we are talking about and understand what we are reading.
I am aware that I cannot change my practice to the new Guidelines until they have gone through our clinical governing body, the Joint Royal College Liaison Committee, and then have been approved by our medical directors and then fed down to the operational staff. I accept that it would cause chaos to allow each paramedic, as an individual practitioner to implement the new guidelines when they have read and understood the rationale behind the changes and the impact that they may have. It was cause nothing but confusion and poor application of skills if you had a couple of medics at a cardiac arrest working off seperate guidelines and not knowing what they other is wanting.
I can see this taking quit some considerable time to filter through all the bureauocracy of the NHS before we can once again state that we are using the best and most up to date evidence based practice.
Tom Bouthillet asked a great question of Dr Kleinman on the recent edition of The Medic Cast podcast when he wondered what could be done to reduce the delay in time from the publication of the new guidelines to the implementation of them. That just goes to show that this is apparently a much bigger problem than just UK pre-hospital care.
Until I get the ok, I guess I will still be doing everything to the best of my ability but continuously hoping that someday soon, someone will say to go ahead and use the new guidelines. I know that it isnt a magic tablet to the disease of Cardiac Arrest, but personally, I just want to know that I am doing what is recognised as the best possible medicine for trying to return my patient to his or her family.
How is it for your service? Will you be implementing soon or will it take some time?
Like you I guess we will have to wait. I havent heard anything from our trust about changing our guidelines and assume that we will be waiting for JRCALC first, just like you!
Although, as an autonomous practitioner that has JRCALC as a 'Guideline' and not a protocol, are we being negligent for not acting outside of the guidelines to offer a better level of care……?
And that my friend is exactly my point!
Next time I am injecting atropine into a patient (even though it hasnt been proven to be harmful, more that it is not of benefit to the patient), am I not going against my professional standards with the Health Professions Council?
Its a moral and ethical dilemma for sure!
Mark, as always, every level needs to have their say. In a perfect world, the guidelines would come out with the science to back them and we would simply change. And since we are following what the new guidelines are going to be for months now, training materials can be edited daily to reflect the change, then the only delay should be actually getting folks into the training division to show competency, then out the door. In my system that could take 2-3 weeks, but that's it.
We JUST updated most of our statewide protocols, so I don't anticipate the ACLS recommendations changing for us anytime soon (the last update took 2 years).
That said, in all of our cardiac arrest protocols it says to perform BLS measures according to AHA guidelines, so I suppose we don't need to wait for our personal CPR recert or anything from the Department of Health in order to start using them…. maybe. Like you replied to Paramedic Blogger, its a gray area.
Joe BLS here: It will take about a year for everyone to get up to speed and get through the new training. Personally, some of the stuff I will incorporate on my next code, but don't tell anyone, ok? Now I fully realize and appreciate that the ALS providers have a bigger issue here because the changes speak to the meds that are provided, how much, and when. That stuff is going to HAVE to come through official channels. As for the physical skills and how you provide CPR (and the first aid) which is addressed in the guidelines, that is largely a lot of nonsense in my eyes. (There I said it and I'm glad.) The majority of which has to do with finding ways to do the interventions that are needed in a way they (the less experienced, or first time providers) can understand them and actually do them effectively. Anybody who has done a few dozen codes can make good solid decisions on their own and do not need, require, or appreciate the AHA or anybody else telling them how to get the job done. Just give them the science and they CAN apply it. For instance, I now understand that we can increase the cycle rate on compressions and hope for a better statistical outcomes. OK, I can do that, AND I can start compressions before I worry about the airway, no problem. I've thought this was a good idea 4 years ago, but had to wait unitl the AHA decided that it was ok.
My point is that the changes are NOT really that significant from a BLS providers point of view and in fact I really feel the AHA is basing most of their decisions on their collective IMPRESSIONS of how the science will be received and understood by the providers. The should concentrate on providing recommendations BASED ON THE SCIENCE AND RESEARCH ALONE and let the actual execution be handled by those downstream.
I guess I'm just an old curmudgeon, who has seen too many of these damned 'ground breaking' changes.
bureaucracy is everywhere, as usual.
Mark, I think that there are things that an individual EMS provider can do to implement the core ideas behind the new guidelines before "Official Implementation" and without violating protocol and procedures. Much of what has been put in the guidelines is an extension and edification of the changes seen in 2005.
The concepts of minimizing time off the chest, asynchronous ventilations, and education of bystanders for CPR in the field are all things that can (and should be) implemented immediately by all of us.
Our next training cycle for CPR will start in January. I expect at that time we'll get the BLS changes. Our next protocol update is due for February, so I expect that we'll see the ACLS changes then. Then again, we adopted therapeutic hypothermia a couple of years ago, so we might get some interim updates from our medical director before the formal protocol roll out.

Over the past year the UNANIMA staff has been working to develop our mission focus in the area of migration. It is certainly a topic that is attracting more attention at the UN, because of increased global areas of conflict and the situation at the US-Mexico border. If any of you are working in the area of migration, we would love to hear your stories so we can share them. We would also like to get some recommendations about articulate individuals who would be good for side events at the UN.
Good news for our 2011 Woman of Courage. In Alberta, Canada a Chief Justice dismissed all key arguments made by the government of Alberta against the lawsuit of Jessica Ernst. Seven years ago, Jessica filed a $33 million dollar lawsuit against the Province, over the contamination of her water by fracking. The government of Alberta said she had no right to sue the Province, and the Canadian regulatory body had banished all contact with her on the grounds that she was a "terrorist!" Ernst, something of a folk hero in communities battling fracking from Ireland to Texas – her website often gets more than 400 hits a day — called the ruling a significant precedent; now she has the right to sue the Province.

In his address to the London Summit on Family Planning in July 2012, Dr. Agung Laksono, then the coordinating minister for people's welfare of the Republic of Indonesia, introduced the phrase gotong royong. It refers to the Indonesian principle of mutual aid and shared responsibility. Gotong royong, Dr. Laksono explained, is the driving force behind Indonesia's commitment to family planning.
In the three years since, Indonesia has made strong progress on that commitment. A broad group of stakeholders are collaborating to revitalize the country's family planning program, from the national level down to the smallest village. And the spirit of gotong royong is everywhere in evidence.
Indonesia's new universal health coverage program, launched in January 2014, includes low-cost or free family planning for eligible couples. Increased mobile services are bringing contraceptives even to the most remote areas of the archipelago. More than 23,500 family planning clinics are in the process of being upgraded, and the government is training thousands of midwives and doctors.
To ensure that women are able to choose from a wide range of contraceptives, the Improving Contraceptive Method Mix (ICMM) project, implemented by K4Health, is working to expand the availability of IUDs and implants. And to mobilize resources for family planning at the local level, the KB Kencana initiative supports advocacy efforts aimed at district policymakers (read more under RRM Project Spotlight below).
Indonesia recognizes that a successful family planning program means a brighter, healthier future for everyone: women, children, families, communities, the country as a whole. And that getting there is everyone's responsibility.
Strategies to raise awareness of family planning and generate demand are also in motion. The Right Time, Right Method, My Choice campaign, led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP), will reach 2.9 million women through radio, TV, print, and online outlets. Another CCP-led project is bringing the family planning message to women through prayer groups, Koran readings, and other activities organized by Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, the two largest Muslim organizations in the country. The project will also explore pre-kindergarten and daycare networks as avenues for reaching young mothers.
The FP2020 Country Committee, which was established by the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) in 2013, brings together the many stake-holders who are contributing to this grand revitalization: the government, NGOs, civil society, the private sector, development partners, and donors. Strategic direction is provided by BKKBN, while a greatly increased budget—Indonesia's allocation for family planning quadrupled from 2006 to 2014—supports efforts across the board.
Indonesia recognizes that a successful family planning program means a brighter, healthier future for everyone: women, children, families, communities, the country as a whole. And that getting there is everyone's responsibility. Gotong royong.
Inne Silviane is the executive director of Yayasan Cipta Cara Padu (YCCP), a Jakarta-based nonprofit that leads several advocacy efforts in Indonesia. With funding from FP2020's Rapid Response Mechanism, YCCP is working to cultivate support for family planning at the local level.
In Indonesia's decentralized political system, much of the budget for family planning is controlled by village and district governments. "Usually, family planning isn't high on their list of priorities," Inne says. "They're thinking about infrastructure instead—roads, schools, housing." YCCP's job is to show local stakeholders how to make a convincing, compelling case for family planning to be funded.
The first step is to assemble a District Working Group, with members drawn from local government, the local BKKBN office, women's groups, the midwives association, community and religious groups, and the private sector. Once established, the District Working Group functions as a multisectoral advocacy committee for family planning, with significant influence over local budgeting decisions.
It's an approach that has already proved successful in Indonesia. YCCP's project is part of the overall KB Kencana initiative, launched by BKKBN in 2012, and uses an advocacy template piloted by Advance Family Planning.


New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday invited anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare, who has threatened to go on an indefinite fast if the government failed to draft a strong Lokpal Bill, for a discussion on the issue.
PMO sources said the Prime Minister has invited Hazare for a discussion as he has some views on the Lokpal Bill.
The sources said that Hazare could visit and meet the Prime Minister at his convenience.
Demanding enactment of a strong anti-corruption law on the lines of Jan Lokpal Bill, Hazare, who addressed a press conference here on Saturday last, threatened to go on an indefinite fast from April 5 if the Prime Minister does not act decisively on his suggestion by March-end.
Hazare had wondered how the government could pass the anti-corruption Bill without consulting anyone from the civil society.

Students, officials rise to admissions test
By Mosheh Oinounou Jun 10, 2002 12:00 AM
Getting into GW was harder for the class of 2006 than any class in GW history. Incoming freshmen have the highest SAT score average on school record, while the University also accepted the smallest percentage of applicants ever.
GW officials said this admissions year was also one of their most challenging and successful as the school received more than 17,000 applications, a 6 percent increase from last year and accepted 40.5 percent of students, down from last year's 48.5 percent.
Administrators said they were bound by housing requirements after 300 more freshmen than expected accepted offers last year, forcing the University to lease two buildings, increase housing capacity in two residence halls and house students temporarily in area hotels last August.
Admissions Director Kathryn Napper said this admissions year was one of the most difficult in her five years overseeing the process.
"The fact that we did not have the luxury of going over class size, and with environmental factors like the economy and September 11 being unknown, it was one of my most challenging," she said.
GW officials said they intend to enroll a class of 2,250 freshmen, based on housing and facility constraints. The school has already received 2,365 deposits. Napper said GW is "in the ballpark," noting that 100 to 150 students usually defer admission or go to other universities, in what she called the "summer melt."
Officials said the yield rate, or the number of students accepting admission, also stabilized this year after jumping almost 7 percent last year. About 34 percent of accepted applicants sent deposits, about the same as last year, Napper said.
Officials are skeptical whether the 40.5 percent admissions rate will help bring GW into U.S. News and World Report's top 50 schools, because it accounts for one to two percent of the school's overall rating.
GW ranked 46 in 1998 but has been listed as a tier-two school for the past three years.
Vice President of Student and Academic Support Services Bob Chernak said University officials met with magazine editors this past year who said the school was within two spots of the top 50, even though schools in the tier two category (numbers 51-100) are not ranked numerically. He said "only a couple of things have to change" to move up.
"I don't think a single statistic will make a dramatic change . the truth of the matter is we are right on target to move up," he said. "Our decision-making is not driven by U.S. News and World Report."
Chernak said GW has become an easier sell, allowing the school to accept fewer students this year, and noted that GW had a more difficult time attracting students a decade ago.
"The University has more qualitative assets in terms of facilities, better faculty and our reputation," Chernak said. "It was much harder in the late 80's and early 90's."
Chernak cited the 1988 admissions year, when GW received 5,900 applications and accepted more than 80 percent of interested students.
"As we build a new business school, Greek housing, a new residence hall with a whole new food court, admissions will get easier," he said.
He also said GW has attracted better and more diverse students, with 49 states represented in this year's class.
Three incoming freshmen hail from North Dakota, which has gone two years with out representation at GW, but no students will be making their way from Mississippi this year, Chernak said.
The SAT average of this years' freshmen is a 1270, up 30 points from last year and 61 percent of freshmen were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, 13 percent more than the last entering class.
"In terms of statistical profile, they are the best we have seen," Chernak said. "When you end up being more selective, with accepting 900 fewer people, you are going to have a better probability of getting better students."
Napper and Chernak also said GW is looking to increase student diversity by reaching out to high school students across the country.
"We will be sending representatives to every state in the union next year . we do want to see more diversity," Napper said.
Currently, students from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Connecticut account for almost 60 percent of the student body.
"We need to broaden our base of appeal nationally . we need to expand our outreach beyond those primary areas," Chernak said.
Napper noted that GW saw 115 more applications and 25 more deposits from students in the Chicago area after the addition of an admissions director in that city.
Chernak said the school also needs to be wary of rejecting too many students from primary feeder states like New York and New Jersey.
"The more people you reject who would have traditionally been accepted will have a negative impact on application-flow for the next year," he said.
Chernak said he is proud to see the school constantly improving and hopes to bring the admissions rate under 40 percent next year.
"Ideally it would be nice to get under 40, but it all depends on the variables next year," he said.

Q: Calculated persistent property in Core Data I have properties firstName and lastName in NSManagedObject class. I need another property uppercaseFirstLetter which is calculated from these two. Property uppercaseFirstLetter can't be transient and it will be using for sectionNamedKeyPath
[[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest: fetchRequest
                                    managedObjectContext: [DatabaseManager context]
                                      sectionNameKeyPath: @"uppercaseFirstLetter"
                                               cacheName: nil];

and for sort descriptor
NSSortDescriptor *sortLastNameDescriptor =
[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey: @"uppercaseFirstLetter"
                            ascending: YES
                             selector: @selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];

This is code for calculating uppercaseFirstLetter:
NSString *aString = nil;
NSString *lastName = [self valueForKey:@"firstName"];
NSString *firstName = [self valueForKey:@"lastName"];

if (lastName.length) {
    aString = [lastName uppercaseString];
} else if (firstName.length) {
    aString = [firstName uppercaseString];
} else {
    aString = @"#";
}

NSString *stringToReturn = [aString substringToIndex:1];

How i need to create uppercaseFirstLetter and what changes in code should do to attain this result?

A: You can use custom setter methods for firstName and lastName to update the uppercaseFirstLetter property:
- (void)setFirstName:(NSString *)firstName
{
    [self willChangeValueForKey:@"firstName"];
    [self setPrimitiveValue:firstName forKey:@"firstName"];
    [self updateUppercaseFirstLetter];
    [self didChangeValueForKey:@"firstName"];
}

You also have to do this for lastName.
Or you observe changes for firstName and lastName via KVO to update uppercaseFirstLetter if needed. There are many solutions out there how to solve this. Keywords: "NSManagedObject" "KVO"
The last solution might be the more elegant way.

Gorgeous pictures.
Our trees are starting to turn, mostly yellow. It's very overcast so they aren't shimmering in the sunlight.
On the major grrrr list...our neighbor has a HUGE pine tree that sheds. A lot. We probably have 3" of needles in our yard and it's not done yet. I'm not raking twice so they'll have to sit for a bit.
I picked up one of these last year it is great on leaves would probably work for pine needles but both Amazon and Home depot carry it so not much risk. I did pick up the trash can adapter and it is a bit messy but does let you pick up more!
Found this Amazon review
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Blower and Vacuum!
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018
Color: RedVerified Purchase
I am a 63 year old woman with several trees that drop thousands of pine needles in my driveway and I live in Seattle where it's wet most of the time. Three strikes against me for a leaf blower! So I was hesitant about buying this. However, I purchased the Toro UltraPlus Leaf Blower Vacuum because it was electric, affordable and fairly light to carry. To my delight, this leaf blower works great! It blows over the pine needles on my concrete driveway into nice piles. Of course, it won't blow wet needles or needles caked in mud but it does a very good job with the dry needles, pinecones and leaves. The vacuum works great too! It sucks up the piles of needles into this nice bag that hooks up to the blower and has a belt to hang over my shoulder. It's really easy to empty the bag because it has a zipper on the bottom. The blower and vacuum have attachments that are pretty easy to figure out and put on/take off. There's two handles to hold the blower so it's easy to maneuver. All in all, I'm very happy with this new "toy" and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner.

My FIL had a blower mulched like that. He was very happy with it.
One week update at once. Office job has made me want to stab my eyes out with a spoon. Enough said.
Around the farms gives me solace and a needed break. Phase one of the bush work is done.
Cedars trimmed back. Phase two will start when harvest is done.
Took Friday afternoon to clean out the barn at moms and reorganize it. Always feels good to see what you have accomplished and the office never gives you that.
Soybean harvest has begun but the weather has turned. About 20 acres done with another 200 acres to go. Hopefully this week.
Speaking of "harvest"... it's about to begin at our neighbour's as well. He rents a small portion of land to people who have a licensed out door grow operation.
People coming and going at all hours and a special funk in the air. I had to explain that to mom. They are on 2 parcels of land, both across the road and upwind from moms. If you look you can see their 24 hour security trailer tucked away beside the corn field.
Always something interesting in the country.
Ended the week with some BBQ bacon cheeseburgers. Made me realize how much I miss Playmakers on the ship.
The colours are coming nicely here as well. Hope you all had a great week.

That is a picture of a barn, not a house. Those joists are not 2X4's, they are way beefier than that, at least 10, if not 12 inches, though in Canada, they are liable to be metric. Looks pretty sturdy to me, would love to have whoever did that stonework come and fix my wall!

Nope, pretty much all building products are still in Imperial.
Found an old guide put out by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp from the early 70's stating that by the early 80's The entire building industry in Canada would be converted to metric....almost 50 years later still hasn't happened. I actually need to teach many of my younger students how to read a Fractional tape measure and work in 1/16th, 1/8th.....they just learn metric in school which doesn't do them any good on a job site.

Sunset tonight.

I'll have to look into this. We also have a honey locust tree with tiny leaves. Always the last tree to drop leaves.
We also just found out that the neighbors are going to have twins so they are going to move. John's going to chop off the branches that hang over on our side of the fence. That will take care of some of the needles.
If it is a barn then it is all the better to have the crossbracing done to spread any load like a vehicle, have to admin have not seen that many barns that had a basement.
well just changed our Royalton Antigua booking for February to Dreams Tulum. Time to start new research 🤷♀

The highlight of the day was cleaning the fish pond for the up coming winter, the task was E-Z , because the local raccoons had come by and ate all the fish, just need to trim a few plants and add some fresh water.

That's great news. On a side note, I know where I am staying when I come down for the Amelia Island Concourse. 🙂
That's a big part of our plan...friends and family coming to visit and enjoy the island. 2 guest bedrooms each with their own bathroom. We haven't been there yet for the Concourse but we're about a 10 minute walk from the Ritz where it's located. Looking forward to it in March. It took me a minute to figure out what you meant when you said there was a funk in the air at your neighbors farm. Interesting. Explains the security trailer.

I had to google Amelia Island, looks like a nice place with lots of golf courses 😁
Thanks. We looked at several places to retire and Amelia checks all of our boxes. Golf and tennis, good beaches, great restaurants and bars, warm weather most of the year, an island feel while also having good access to airports/hospitals/shopping/etc. within a relatively short drive. I probably would have gone a little further south for even more year round warmth, but DW wanted more of a change of seasons. I can suffer through golf with a sweater during the winter months.

I have been invited to display by a member of the selection committee, but have yet to make it. I have heard that it is one of the most fun concours on the circuit. I know a few that have shown and sold at the auction there and have enjoyed it thoroughly. There is an expression something like... you go to Pebble Beach because it is Pebble, you go to Amelia for the fun.
As for the "funk", I'm amazed you are the only one who noted the comment. It was wafting through the air today.


As things stand, too many public officials and public employees in California don"t have a working understanding of the state"s Public Records Act.
Often, when they receive a request for a clearly public document, they decline for fear that they do not have the power to turn it over. Very often, they misinterpret the section of the law that provides agencies with up to 10 days to determine whether the material being requested is indeed public record. They conclude that it is OK to wait for 10 days even if it is clearly public record and there is no legitimate reason not to honor the request.
That is how messy it already is under a statewide law, enacted by the Legislature. Imagine how much worse it could become, what a fine job the bureaucrats could do of hiding the public"s business, if the rules were made instead on a city-by-city basis. That is not the intent of a bill by Assemblywoman Norma Torres, D-Pomona, but that could be the ultimate effect.
Torres wants state law to shield the addresses of crime victims when they are recorded in police reports and other documents that can become public records. The bill is opposed by the state"s media outlets — not because newspapers want to print the addresses, but because addresses can be key to ensuring an accurate identification and because some police agencies would likely overreact and make the entire documents off limits to press and public.
Some agencies would take the position that they could withhold any documents that might provide clues to a victim"s address. In cases where the crime occurred at the victim"s home, some agencies would rule the whole incident confidential, especially if any allegations of official misconduct were to arise.
Torres properly has amended her original bill, removing the addresses of criminal defendants from the protection that now would only apply to crime victims. That"s a good step.
Now, rather than simply amending the California Public Records Act, Torres" bill, AB 1682, would authorize a county board of supervisors or city council to give its law enforcement agency the ability to create a formal policy preventing public access to the victims" addresses.
If it ended there, it would be a bad, but not horrendous, change in state law. It could become horrendous, however, if city councils and boards of supervisors let this little bit of new power go to their heads — as city councils and boards of supervisors have a tendency to do.
We would expect to see council members seeking further flexibility so they could shield such things as council member compensation, and county supervisors attempting to make such things as their travel receipts off limits.
The Public Records Act was enacted initially to end the state"s patchwork of public record rules. Torres" bill could lead us back to more confusing times, which is exactly how many of the bureaucrats would like to have it. It provides no real protection to victims and makes it easier for police agencies to dole out information any way they see fit.

A Collector's Invitation
Period 2022-10-05 ~ 2023-01-29
Location Special Exhibition Gallery
Supervised by Gwangju National Museum
내용 This special exhibition at the Gwangju National Museum is organized based on A Collector's Invitation from the National Museum of Korea. Taking place in Jeollanam-do Province, which has been nicknamed yehyang (literally, the hometown of art) for its rich artistic tradition, the exhibition has been newly produced to allow visitors to explore the quintessence of Korean traditional art through a selection of ceramics, paintings, and Buddhist crafts from among the works that were introduced at the exhibition at the National Museum of Korea.
Yeosu : The History of the Maritime City
내용 Presented here is a city intertwined with the beautiful sea.
The thoughts and concerns of the people of the past now reside as memories in the cool waters and warm soils of the city.
They include stories of people who passed every day alongside the life of the ocean, harnessed the refreshing sea breezes for transportation, constructed tombs from large stones they infused with their wishes, and defended themselves in times of crisis.
Today, Yeosu shines in the brilliant sun and romantically embraces the past. Through this exhibition, we invite you to look back upon the past of Yeosu.
Goryeo Celadon and the Art of Tea and Wine
내용 Prologue: Goryeo Celadon and the Fashion of Tea and Wine
Tea culture flourished during the Goryeo Dynasty due to the enthusiasm and passion for tea among the royal aristocrats and scholar officials. Diverse production techniques of celadon wares also accelerated the manufacture of varied teaware and utensils. Alcohol dinking culture also thrived during the Goryeo period. Alcohol was served not only in the official royal functions but at receptions of foreign envoys and when bestowing royal gifts. The Goryeo court had a special government bureau in charge of managing alcohol. This exhibition invites viewers to discover the tea and wine drinking culture of the Goryeo Dynasty through celadon wares.
Special Exhibition 'The mystery of Sindeok ancient tombs'
내용 All those who have lost a loved one try to keep him or her alive in their memory. They also wish for the deceased to enjoy peace and comfort in the next world. However, we still do not clearly know how the people of the past faced and coped with death.
Here on these open fields sleep distinctly shaped burial mounds that hold mysteries of ancient history. By chance we have been presented with a key that could unlock doors to an unknown world. What had been hidden and sealed away within is beginning to be revealed.
We invite you to discover these traces of lives from more than 1,500 years ago that have been stored in tombs dedicated to the deceased.
The 13th Gwangju Biennale - Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning
내용 13th Gwangju Biennale
Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning
2021. 4. 1. ~ 5. 9.
Gala Porras-Kim, Cecilia Vicuna, Ali Cherri, Chrysanne Stathacos, Theo Eshetu, Trajal Harrell, Farid Belkahia
Participating Museums
Gwangju National Museum, National Museum of Korea, Chuncheon National Museum, National Hangeul Museum, Gahoe Museum, Shamanism Museum
Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning, the central exhibition of the 13th Gwangju Biennale features a dynamic program that includes an exhibition, a performance program, a publishing platform, as well as online and offline series of public forums that bring together artists, theoretical scientists, and systems thinkers. Directed by Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala, Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning sets forth to examine the spectrum of the 'extended mind' through artistic and theoretical means.
The exhibition in Gwangju National Museum unveils a dialogue with conceptions of death and the afterlife, reparation of spirit-objects, corporeal limits of the body as well as acts of mourning through newly commissioned works by Theo Eshetu, Trajal Harrell, Gala Porras-Kim, and Cecilia Vicuna. From the ephemeral aura of a flower mandala by Chrysanne Stathacos to the loneliness of a desert necropolis by Ali Cherri, artistic and historical works will attune to linkages of ancestry, visions of the afterlife, non-western mappings of ailment and cure, and the foundational role of the undead in shaping registers of "the real" across the world(s) of the living.
Six Perspectives: Photo Exhibition of the Masterpieces from the Gwangju National Museum
내용 The Gwangju National Museum is very pleased to present the special exhibition Six Perspectives: Photo Exhibition of Masterpieces from the Gwangju National Museum in the fall of 2020. Highlights from the museum's collection selected by the curators and visitors are explored and documented through the viewfinders of six photographers: Koo Bohnchang, Kim Kwang Seop, Kim Sookang, Oh Sangjo, Rhee Jaeyong, and Jo Seongyeon. Viewers are invited to enjoy these masterpieces reinterpreted from the perspectives of these six veteran photographers of Korean cultural heritage.
Witnessing the Millenary Jeolla-do Buddhism
내용 The Gwangju National Museum is pleased to present this year's special exhibition titled Witnessing the Millenary Jeolla-do Buddhism: Donated Rubbings from the Namdo Buddhist Culture Research Society. This exhibition introduces works donated by the Namdo Buddhist Culture Research Society, which for nearly thirty years has been studying and taking rubbings of ancient inscriptions found around the Gwangju and Jeolla-do Province regions. Many ancient inscriptions remain in Buddhist temples in the Gwangju and Jeolla-do regions, including on epitaphs of eminent monks, pagodas, bronze bells, and steles recording about the construction of the temples. These inscriptions encapsulate the efforts of the countless people who have helped shape Buddhist culture in this area for over a thousand years. Moreover, they provide historical testimony on the traces of numerous people, including kings, officials, local political groups, eminent monks, and common devotees. This exhibition features forty-five Buddhist inscriptions that the Namdo Buddhist Culture Research Society has collected nationwide over the course of thirty years. It is hoped that visitors can appreciate this time-honored Buddhist culture and historical testimony from the Gwangju and Jeolla-do Province regions.

Masterpieces of Cizhou Ware from China: The Art of Black and White
내용 Gwangju National Museum and the Cizhou Kiln Museum are proud to present Masterpieces of Cizhou Ware from China: The Art of Black and White, a special exhibition of world ceramics. This 2019 joint exhibition is also a celebration of friendship between the two institutions, and it is particularly meaningful as it is the very first time the Cizhou Kiln Museum's collection is being introduced in Korea. The Cizhou kilns―with sites dispersed around Cizhou (present-day Cixian) County in Handan, Hebei Province, China― manufactured massive quantities of ceramics over a period of some 1,500 years. The products of these kilns, collectively known as Cizhou wares, reflect the life and culture of the people of northern China. The most popular Cizhou ware was the type with black or brown decorations painted over the white slip ground of a coarse body. The free-spirited and unpretentious Cizhou wares reflect a penchant for bold and exuberant designs among the populace of Northern China. This exhibition introduces 117 superb examples of Cizhou ware selected from the collection of the Cizhou Kiln Museum. Visitors are invited to enjoy the epitome of Cizhou ware, a stunning and original ceramic type that embodies the long arc of history in Northern China.
Jeolla-do Province and Its People over the Past 1000 Years
내용 Gwangju National Museum is proud to present this special commemorative exhibition "Jeolla-do Province and Its People over the Past 1000 Years," marking the first millennium since the province's foundation. As the oldest administrative region in Korea, Jeolla-do can trace its past to 1018, the ninth year of the reign of King Hyeonjong, as recorded in The History of Goryeo. Yet there have also been those who cultivated these lands and dreamt of a better world long before the name "Jeolla-do" was attached. As open-minded and progressive people, they did not hesitate to assimilate the fruits of other civilizations, giving birth to a number of innovative ideas that wielded great influence on Korean history. Even in times of crisis, the people of the region have demonstrated deep loyalty and potential while protecting the entire Korean Peninsula along with their own province.

The Back Skills Training Programme (BSTP) requires minimal resources – merely a room, chairs and a flip chart or whiteboard – and can be delivered by a range of health professionals, including physios.
Patients start with an individual session, followed by six group sessions lasting 90 minutes. A patient workbook and an app are provided to use with the programme.
Online training to enable health professionals to deliver the BSTP will be available from January 2016. It will be free of charge to NHS clinicians for 12 months after its launch.
The project was developed by the Centre for Rehabilitation Research at the University of Oxford, with funding from the National Institute for Health Research.
The extensive evidence base for the programme includes a randomised controlled trial conducted with more than 700 patients from 56 general practices in seven areas of England.
Trials of the programme showed a reduction in disability and pain at 12 months and beyond – up to three years later – and improvement in quality of life and satisfaction.
'This is a fantastic opportunity for physiotherapists to receive training in an evidence-based treatment and provide better long-term outcomes for their patients,' said Dr Richmond.
'And we'll be demonstrating the programme at Physiotherapy UK in Liverpool and would be delighted to speak to our fellow CSP members there,' she said.

Marge, You Made Me Miss Joe Theismann
Posted on October 1, 2011 by dementedmole
The great Dan Carter is in doubt for the quarter-finals
Frans Steyn is apparently out of the World Cup. Steyn's return to the No12 jersey during this World Cup was a revelation. It'd be obviously incorrect to say that the centre partnership of de Villiers and Fourie lacks physicality, but the strength that Steyn brings to the role, the amount of go-forward ball he generated and the unorthodoxy of his ridiculous gamut of skills gave the Springbok midfield something the Mole didn't even realise it was lacking.
Steyn has all the attributes to challenge for the title of best player in the world, and bringing him close to the centre of the action and getting the ball in his hands a lot was a smart move from Crazy Piet. You could argue that he was the obvious choice to replace the injured Jean de Villiers, having performed exactly that role in the last World Cup, but it was still a good call.
The Mole had speculated that he played too selfishly to be part of a truly coherent centre partnership, but if anything he looked even more effective at first centre than he did from fullback. However, his World Cup looks to be over just at the point where he could launch his bid to be the star of the tournament. Here's Crazy Piet:
"Frans Steyn is likely to go home. His shoulder isn't that good. The doctor will confirm it 100 percent this morning, but it's 95 percent that he's on his way home and that is a big blow for us."
It's a serious blow to the Boks. Steyn's incredible long-range goal-kicking – he hit the bar from fully 63m out against Samoa, and kicked another one from inside his own halfway line – not only gives South Africa the ability to put points on the board from stray penalties their opponents concede in otherwise innocuous positions, it also forces the territory issue. If the kicks miss, the opponent is likely either to kick a 22m drop-out long, giving the ball back to the Boks, or try an orthodox drop-out to regain possession, a set-piece that Matfield, Russouw and Spies are more than capable of winning and setting up possession deep in opposition territory.
Drew Mitchell appears to have suffered a text-book hamstring tear against the Russians. He was running on to a ball around halfway, made a cracking pick-up and as he was about to go for full throttle he pulled up sharply, grabbing at his hamstring and being escorted out of touch by a chasing Russian winger.
A hamstring tear can happen to anybody, but Mitchell's quick return from serious injury directly into the Australian World Cup squad will again have Deans' critics at his throat. It's the last thing the Dingo needs. No8 Radike Samo was forced on to the wing against the Russians because of the lack of available wing options, and Mitchell's injury further weakens his hand. Digby Ioane may very well find himself starting a quarterfinal, broken thumb or not.
However, unquestionably the biggest name on the injury list is Dan Carter. The New Zealand outhalf collapsed with an injured groin in the last All Black training session before the Canada match, and from images circulated on ESPN Scrum.com and BBC.com, he seems to be in serious pain. He was due to captain the All Blacks in Richie McCaw's absence, but now seems like he may be a doubt for their quarterfinal … at least.
Neophyte Colin Slade has been called into the No10 jersey for the Canada game, but he's no sort of replacement for the great Carter. Piri Weepu is also capable of playing outhalf, but New Zealand without Carter simply aren't the same team as they are when he's there. There's little argument against the proposition that he is the most influential player in rugby, and while the New Zealand of RWC07 vintage had the luxury of a top-quality back-up in Nick Evans [and an experienced and bang in-form five-eighth in Luke McAlister], the cupboard is a lot more bare this time round.
Carter is so important that the Mole can see the Kiwis running all sort of shenanigans to keep him in the squad for a semi-final appearance, even if it means another player has to be sent home to make way for an experienced outhalf [the afore-mentioned Evans or perhaps recent All Black discard Steven Donald] to bridge the QF gap should Slade not step up to the mark against the hard-working Canucks.

When you see how hard the southern hemisphere teams have got hit with injuries it seems that the timing of the world cup has been to the northern teams benefit. All the bs about tri nations and super 15 players coming to the rwc in form is looking stupid now that we can see the number (and type) of injuries that these guys are picking up.

A Zane Grey Q & A with Lita Nicholson
Posted on December 30, 2016 March 12, 2020 by Lita Nicholson
Category: Zane Grey
Tag: Zane Grey
When was Zane Grey born?
He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. His name was originally Pearl Zane Gray. He changed it to Zane Grey after he wrote his first western novel.
Was he married?
Yes. He married Lina Roth in 1905. He always called her Dolly and she called him Doc. She managed the family business and did all the editing of his manuscripts. He traveled extensively all his life, gathering material for his stories – she never traveled with him.
Did he have any children?
He had two sons and a daughter. His daughter Betty died in January, 2007, in California. His oldest son Romer is deceased, and his youngest son Loren died in February, 2007, in Woodland Hills, California.
Zane Grey in Payson
How did Mr. Grey discover Payson?
Grey heard about Payson from guide Lee Doyle, who introduced him to Babe Haught. Haught became Grey's hunting guide and friend.
How did he travel to Payson?
Grey came by train to Flagstaff, and then rode by horseback to Payson, stopping at Tonto Natural Bridge. The ride from the bridge to Payson took four and a half hours.
His Books and Movies
How many books did he write?
He wrote 64 novels and over 300 short stories.
Is it true that he was the best selling author of all time?
Yes. Only copies of the Bible exceeded his book sales. So far, over 250 million copies of his books have been published in 23 languages and continue to sell today.
How many books did he write about Arizona?
He wrote 23 books about Arizona, and 13 of those were written about the area around Payson. The most popular western of all time, Riders of the Purple Sage, was written about northern Arizona.
How many movies were made from his stories?
113 movies were made from his books and stories, and 129 TV shows were produced.
Are his books still available?
Yes. They still publish approximately 250,000 paperbacks a year, and nearly every library retains a set of his books.
Did Mr. Grey record or base his books and stories on actual events (wars, feuds, etc.) or were they all created in his imagination?
Most of Grey's stories were based on actual events and people.
What observations of Payson, its history or people are described or immortalized in Mr. Grey's books and articles?
Grey described Payson as an old hamlet, retaining many frontier characteristics such as old board and stone houses with high fronts, hitching posts and pumps on sidewalks, with one street so wide that it resembled a Mexican plaza. Payson contained two stores.
Can you suggest three or four books that people should read to get an idea of Mr. Grey's work? (One or two should be Arizona based, if possible.)
Everyone should read Grey's Tales of Lonely Trails (the Tonto Basin section). The Drift Fence, The Hash Knife Outfit, Under the Tonto Rim and To the Last Man.
His Hunting Lodge in Payson
Did Mr. Grey build the original cabin himself, or did he rent or purchase it?
In 1921, Zane Grey sent Anderson Lee "Babe" Haught $3500 to have a cabin built. A carpenter named Barton was in charge, with the Haught family helping on the construction. Included in the $3500 was 3 acres of land for the cabin site.
What is the name of the nearest river or stream?
Tonto Creek is the nearest stream to Zane Grey's original cabin.
Did Zane Grey want a log cabin when he asked Haught to construct one?
Yes. Haught told Grey that the carpenters couldn't get the logs cut, peeled and cured in time, so Grey sent them another set of plans which was used to construct the original cabin and was identical to the one you are in now.
I've read descriptions of the cabin as sparse and bare. I understand Mr. Grey was an outdoors type, sleeping in a tent outside the cabin.
Grey slept in a tent.
How far away was Mr. Grey's cabin from town?
The original cabin was 17 miles east of Payson.
Where else did Mr. Grey have cabins?
Grey also had a small fishing cabin in Oregon.
Before the cabin was destroyed in the Dude Fire, was it a museum? Private property?
The cabin was a museum on private property before it burned in the Dude Fire in June, 1990.
Why wasn't the new cabin built at the original site?
The original site is now gated private land and was not available. The current owner did allow us to retrieve approximately 3 tons of the original stone used in the foundation and chimney, and some of that was incorporated into the cabin you are in.
Was he a sportsman?
He was a great hunter of bear, deer, turkey and mountain lion here in Arizona. He would spend every fall in the 1920's at his hunting lodge (Zane Grey Cabin). In 1929, over a dispute with the Game & Fish Commission, he vowed to leave Arizona and never return. He never did return. He was also a world renowned big game fisherman, who set many world records, several of which still hold.
Was he rich?
He was one of the richest men in America in the 1920's, but spent it very extravagantly. They were nearly broke in the depression of the 1930's, and Grey finally had to allow the printing of Zane Grey comic books – which he disliked – to bring in more income.
When did he die?
He died in 1939 at his mansion in Altadena, California, of a heart attack.
