\section{Introduction}
The style-based generative model \cite{karras2019style, karras2020analyzing} is very effective in image generation, and it generates high-resolution images by learning not only global attributes but also stochastic details. Several researchers \cite{choi2018stargan, park2019SPADE, isola2017image, liu2017unsupervised, yi2017dualgan, kim2017learning, zhu2017unpaired, abdal2019image2stylegan} have used this model to perform several tasks such as image editing and image translation, noting the powerfulness of style-based architecture. Furthermore, recent research to apply transfer learning to this model is also active. Because style-based architecture trains sequentially from low-resolution to high-resolution, simple fine-tuning techniques make it easier to transfer models of source domains to target domains. Thus, many unsupervised I2I translations have adopted a transfer learning to reduce resources, memory and time.

In this paper, we fine-tune the stylegan2 model for unsupervised I2I translation. We propose two methods to make source images and target images similar, such as paired images.

1. FreezeSG, which freezes the initial blocks of the style vectors and generator. This is very simple and allows the target image to follow the structure of the source image.

2. Structure Loss, which make to reduce the distance between the inital blocks of the source generator and the inital blocks of the target generator. The effectiveness of applying Layer Swapping to models trained by this loss is also remarkable.

\section{Related Work}
\paragraph{Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)} The GAN framework \cite{goodfellow2014generative} has shown impressive results in image generation \cite{karras2020analyzing, karras2017progressive, karras2019style}, image translation \cite{choi2018stargan, park2019SPADE, isola2017image, liu2017unsupervised}, image editing \cite{zhu2020domain, kim2021stylemapgan, shen2020closed}, and face image synthesis \cite{karras2020analyzing, karras2019style}. GAN is a generative model that trains through the adversarial process of generator G and discriminator D: The generator creates a fake image to confuse the discriminator so it cannot recognize whether the image is real or fake. In this paper, we aim to align the source distribution to the target domain using the GAN network.

\paragraph{Image-to-Image Translation} Recent studies have shown remarkable success in the image to image (I2I) translation \cite{choi2018stargan, park2019SPADE, isola2017image, liu2017unsupervised} that aims to learn the mapping between an input image and an output image.  Pix2Pix \cite{isola2017image} is the first framework for I2I translation, which uses cGANs \cite{mirza2014conditional} to enable successful I2I transformations for a variety of tasks when there is paired dataset. Because of the limited paired training data, several methods have been proposed to address unsupervised image-to-image translation tasks. UNIT \cite{liu2017unsupervised} assumes a shared latent space, so that image pairs from different domains can be mapped into one shared latent space. Other unsupervised I2I methods \cite{yi2017dualgan, kim2017learning}, including CycleGAN \cite{zhu2017unpaired}, introduce the cycle consistency loss to make a constraint between the source image and the target image. However, these frameworks must be trained on data from both the source domain and the target domain simultaneously. Training consists of the mapping process in multiple domains, which requires a lot of computational resources and time. If there is a severe imbalance between data of each domain, mode collapse may also happen. To overcome these limitations, we proposed a new unsupervised Image-to-Image translation method that generates images of target domains using the stylegan2 \cite{karras2020analyzing} pretrained model.

\label{fig:fig1}
\end{figure}

\paragraph{Transfer Learning}

Transfer learning is a very powerful and effective method in computer vision. In transfer learning, a new model is trained using the weights of the pre-trained model. This method can reduce time and computer resources because it trains by fine-tuning a pre-trained model without starting from random initialization. Efforts to apply transfer learning to GANs are also active. Mo et al \cite{mo2020freeze} proposed a FreezeD model for the generator to learn the target distribution by freezing the highest-resolution layer of the discriminator during the fine-tuning process. Karras et al \cite{karras2020training} proposed an adaptive discriminator augmentation (ADA) mechanism that stabilizes training in limited data. They have also proven that ADA performs better with FreezeD. These studies have shown that applying transfer learning to GANs allows image translation from the source domain to the target domain more efficiently.

With the effectiveness and powerfulness of stylegan2 \cite{karras2020analyzing} and fine-tuning techniques \cite{mo2020freeze, karras2020training}, there has been a recent move to apply them to unsupervised I2I translation. FreezeG \cite{lee2020freeze} argued that freezing the generator's low-level resolution layer helps maintain the structure of the source domain. In addition,  Pinkney et al \cite{pinkney2020resolution} proposed a layer swapping method that combines the high-resolution layer of the FFHQ model with the low-resolution layer of the animation model to generate a photo-realistic face. Huang et al \cite{kwong2021unsupervised} suggested a FreezeFC mechanism that freezes 8-layer $w = f(z), \mathbf{w} \in \mathcal{W} $ of the StyleGAN2 network during the fine-tuning process to increase the similarity between the source and target domains.

In this paper, we proposed a method for unsupervised image to image(I2I) translation by applying transfer learning to the stylegan2 pretrained model. Inspired by these works \cite{lee2020freeze, pinkney2020resolution, kwong2021unsupervised}, we also proposed new methods to sustain the structure of the source images and generate realistic images in the target domain.

\section{Method}

\subsection{FreezeSG}
\label{freezesg}

Noting the effectiveness of FreezeG \cite{mo2020freeze}, we analyze the factors that determine the structure of the generated image and find that not only the early layers of the generator but also the style vectors injected into the generator are involved. Inspired by this, we freeze the initial blocks of the generator and the initial style vectors injected in the fine-tuning process of stylegan2. We call this simple yet effective method \emph{a Freeze Style vector and Generator (FreezeSG)}.

Figure \ref{fig:fig1} shows that FreezeSG reflects the source image better than freezing the generator alone. In addition, it shows that the structure of the source image is better preserved if the low-resolution layer of the generator in the source domain and the high-resolution layer of the generator in the target domain are integrated by applying the Layer Swapping (LS) technique. When LS is applied, the generated images by FreezeSG have a higher similarity to the source image than when FreezeG or the baseline (FreezeD + ADA) were used.

\subsection{Structure Loss}

\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
   \includegraphics[width=17cm]{images/StructureLoss_2.eps}
   \hfil
\caption{The architecture of our generator (using structure loss). If we want to apply a loss for the RGB output of three style blocks(4x4 - 16x16), you calculate the mse-loss between the output of (b) a fixed source generator and the output of (c) the target generator being trained. After calculating, and add them all.(d) shows the integration of the low-resolutoin of the source generator and the high-resolution of the target generator by applying the Layer Swapping method.}
\label{fig:fig2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
   \includegraphics[width=16cm]{images/StructureLoss.eps}
   \hfil
\caption{Comparison of training results using structure loss and baseline(freezeD). We used the Layer Swapping technique for $l=2$.}
\label{fig:fig3}
\end{figure}

In Section \ref{freezesg}, we showed the effectiveness of FreezeSG. However, since this fixes the weights of the low-resolution layer of the generator, it is difficult to obtain meaningful results when layer swapping on the low-resolution layer. We introduce a simple and effective loss function that we called \emph{structure loss} to obtain meaningful results even when layer swapping is performed for low-resolution layers.

\paragraph{Adversarial Loss.} Original GAN \cite{goodfellow2014generative} is a model  that trains through the adversarial process of generator $G$ and discriminator $D$. The objective of a GAN can be expressed as
\begin{equation}
    \mathcal{L}_{a d v}= \mathbb{E}_{x \sim p_{data}}\left[\log D(x)\right]+\mathbb{E}_{z \sim p(z)}\left[\log \left(1-D(G(z))\right)\right],
\end{equation}
where $G$ tries to minimize this objective to learn the distribution of the target domain, and $D$ tries to maximize it to discriminate between the real image $x$ and the fake image $G(z)$.

\paragraph{Structure Loss.}
\label{structureloss}
We adopted the structure of \emph{input/output skips} among the three architectures (MSG-GAN, In-put/output skips, and Residual nets) of the stylegan2 model \cite{karras2020analyzing}. Figure \ref{fig:fig2}(a) shows this architecture, which is simplified by upsampling and summing the contributions of RGB outputs corresponding to different resolutions. Based on the fact that the structure of the image is determined at low resolution, we apply \emph{structure loss} to the values of the low-resolution layer so that the generated image is similar to the image in the source domain. The structure loss makes the RGB output of the source generator to be fine-tuned to have a similar value with the RGB output of the target generator during training.

Structure loss is available as follows.

1. If we want to apply \emph{structure loss} for $n$ style blocks, we must first extract the RGB outputs of both the source generator and the target generator for each resolution.

2. Calculate the mse loss between $G^s_{l=k}(w_s)$ and $G^t_{l=k}(w_s)$ of each resolution, and add it up to the n-th layer.
\begin{equation}
    L_{structure} = \sum_{k=1}^{n}{  \mathbb{E}\left[G^s_{l=k}(w_s)- G^t_{l=k}(w_t)\right]}
\end{equation}
where $G^s_{l=k}(w_s)$ is the RGB outputs of the source generator, and $G^t_{l=k}(w_t)$ is the RGB outputs of the target generator. $k$ is the index of the style block.

\paragraph{Full Objective.} Finally, the objective functions are expressed as
\begin{equation}
 \mathcal{L}_{D}=-\mathcal{L}_{adv}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{L}_{G}=\mathcal{L}_{a d v}+\lambda_{structure} \mathcal{L}_{structure}
\end{equation}

where $\lambda_{structure}$ is a hyper-parameter that control the relative importance of structure of source domain. We use $\lambda_{structure}=1$ in all of our experiments.

Figure \ref{fig:fig3} shows that our model generates images much more naturally than baseline \cite{mo2020freeze, karras2020analyzing}. Since we processed the initial layer of $G$ to learn the structure, images of areas such as jaws and heads are well generated.

   \includegraphics[width=17cm]{images/compare.eps}
   \hfil
\caption{Comparison between freezeG and our models.}
\label{fig:fig4}
\end{figure}

\section{Experiments}
\subsection{Datasets}

\paragraph{Source domain dataset.} We used Flickr-Faces-HQ (FFHQ) \cite{karras2019style} as a dataset for the source domain. This has high-quality images of human faces and there are 70,000 images. We used FFHQ to train the stylegan2 model \cite{karras2020analyzing} of 256 resolution.

\paragraph{Target domain dataset.} We experimented with a variety of datasets, including Naver Webtoon \cite{naver}, Metfaces \cite{karras2020training}, and Disney \cite{pinkney2020resolution}. Naver Webtoon Dataset \cite{naver} contains facial images of webtoon characters serialized on Naver. We made this dataset by crawling webtoons from Naver's webtoons site and cropping the faces to 256 x 256 sizes. There are about 15 kinds of webtoons and 8,000 images. We trained the entire Naver Webtoon dataset, and we also trained each webtoon in this experiment. We also experimented with other dataset \cite{karras2020training, pinkney2020resolution}, and learned using images from 256 resolution.

\subsection{Training details}
In Section \ref{freezesg}, we freeze the initial blocks of the generator and style vector and then train the model by fine-tuning the stylegan2 pre-trained model. In this process, the same objective function as stylegan2 was used. We find it effective to freeze two style blocks (4x4 - 8x8) when generating 256 x 256 resolution images. When applying Layer Swapping \cite{pinkney2020resolution}, it is most effective to integrate the low-resolution layer of the source generator (4x4 - 64x64) and the high-resolution layer (64x64 - 256x256) of the target generator.

In Section \ref{structureloss}, We train by applying structure loss to the \emph{input/output skip} architecture of the stylegan2 model \cite{karras2020analyzing}. We used this loss for the three low-resolution layers of the source generator and target generator, and we adopted mse-loss as a loss function. Furthermore, the structural loss enables effective layer swapping even for low-resolution layers, unlike freezeSG. So we swapped different low-resolution layers through various experiments. (Figure \ref{fig:fig5})

\subsection{Experiment Results}
We showed that our model was more effective than the baseline (FreezeD + ADA) \cite{mo2020freeze, karras2020training} and FreezeG \cite{lee2020freeze}. In addition, when the layer swapping technique was applied, the structure of the source domain was more successfully maintained. We also conducted additional experiments on the metface \cite{karras2020training} and disney \cite{pinkney2020resolution} dataset, and the highly quality images were generated when structural loss and layer swapping were used together. FreezeSG also maintained the structure of the source image well but it produced an unnatural image than the image of applying structure loss.

\section{Conclusions and Future works}
In this paper, we proposed Cartoon-StyleGAN: Fine-tuning StyleGAN2 for Cartoon Face Generation, a novel unsupervised Image-to-Image translation methods. Experimental results show that these methods are effective in making source image and target image similar. Compared to previous studies, it generates a more realistic image.

However, our studies need to adjust layers to optimize for each dataset. In future works, we expect to be more stable and performance-enhancing.

Strong, white and beautiful teeth have always been considered the standard of beauty and youth, but until recently the white beautiful smile, so typical of the famous actor, were virtually inaccessible to ordinary people of the planet. But science does not stand still, so modern dentistry today has quite an impressive arsenal of teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening, reviews, not only aesthetic procedure. In some cases, it may be absolutely necessary for the person when the teeth darken or become ugly yellowish tint.
Discoloration of teeth can be divided into superficial and deep. The surface color change occurs as a result of eating products with distinct coloring properties: tea, coffee, red wine, chocolate, mustard, tomatoes, Pepsi-Cola, blueberries, soy sauce, nicotine.
Deep tooth staining occurs, usually as a result of human use of certain chemicals or drugs. For example, children are often stained teeth in a dark gray color as a result of the mother during pregnancy or for children under eight years of tetracyclines. Deep tooth staining can be observed when consumed water with high fluorine content and iron, as well as a number of diseases of the body.
Professional teeth whitening with the help of special equipment. Produce is extremely whitening in the dental office.
Professional teeth whitening gels or by using special splints. Such bleaching is usually possible to use at home.
Teeth whitening at home using a special whitening toothpaste, chewing gum and other tools that can be purchased without a prescription.
Undoubtedly, professional tooth whitening agents are much more efficient and secure, despite the fact that their cost higher.
Teeth whitening using special formulations. Technology like whitening teeth is impregnated with special compounds that penetrate into the pores and discolour organic pollution, highlighting the free radicals. The most common agents are urea and hydrogen peroxide. According to reviews, teeth whitening with special formulations quite effective. It is usually sufficient to hold multiple sessions desk bleaching. The action of certain drugs increase, stimulating the formation of free radicals. For this purpose, use special lamps or ultraviolet irradiation.
Laser teeth whitening. This teeth whitening, reviews, is considered the most gentle and not traumatic. Moreover, the modern techniques of laser bleaching, the less ultraviolet radiation or heat to activate the bleaching composition and the effect is stronger and more stable. Actually, teeth whitening consists of several stages. At the first stage the doctor deals with diagnosis and the search for the causes darkening of teeth. He then selects the optimal scheme of bleaching, mouthguards are made individually (gel tanks, used at home), picks up the drugs. After reaching the optimum effect on the teeth smeared with a special varnish composition, strengthens the teeth and makes them shine.
Teeth whitening system ZOOM 3. The system is pre-treated teeth with potassium nitrate and fluoride, after which the hardware bleaching, the time occupied by about 1, 5 hours. After that, the doctor prescribes drugs to support home bleaching, which fix the result and have a mild effect, due to the presence in them of amorphous calcium compounds.
It is important to carefully approach the selection of clinics and specialist whitening. In the opinion of whitening teeth with excessive ultraviolet radiation and gels are often fraught with burns of the mouth. Experienced specialist should be able to choose the whitening circuit based on individual characteristics of the patient, otherwise, the procedure can lead to increased sensitivity of the teeth and abrasion of tooth enamel.
The most common folk remedy for teeth whitening is hydrogen peroxide. In this bleaching teeth at home using hydrogen peroxide does not require any special preparation. Simply dissolving 20 g of peroxide in 50 ml of water for several minutes with a solution of a mouth rinse. After that, the mouth should be thoroughly rinsed with water.
Recently, commercially available in a wide range of special whitening gels based on hydrogen peroxide, which also can be used at home.
Another well-known means of teeth whitening - the use of coal. In ancient times, for this purpose used wood ash, causing it to elementary finger and teeth cleaning powder. Today, instead of ash can be successfully used activated carbon. It must be crushed into powder, dip your toothbrush and brush your teeth with charcoal. You can also add a bit of charcoal directly on the toothpaste.
The undoubted hit of teeth whitening at home is by using whitening soda. Soda quite quickly and efficiently removes dirt and spots teeth, but do not abuse it, because it destroys tooth enamel and injure the gums. Generally, this means for teeth whitening is not recommended to use more than once a week.
Quite new and effective means of reviews, teeth whitening - is the use of tea tree oil. Especially this method is popular because it does not spoil the tooth enamel and did not injure the gums.
It is impossible to carry out the procedure in the period of pregnancy and lactation, in children under 18, in the presence of various defects in tooth enamel. Please be aware that a variety of drugs intended for bleaching, you may have an allergic reaction.
In addition, teeth whitening is prohibited in the presence of a large number of crowns and fillings, broken teeth and carious areas of heavy dental plaque. Prohibited teeth whitening in the presence of severe common diseases (asthma, blood pressure, tumors, etc.).

Brothers Michael and Peter Kulakovski, Co- Founders and Directors of Kurmond Homes and Kurmond Complete, Here is their story and reason behind the Kurmond Group
Brothers Michael and Peter Kulakovski, Co-Founders and Directors of award-winning Kurmond Homes and Kurmond Complete. Their careers started 'on the tools' and, even though they're more likely to be seen in a suit than hi-vis these days, they're both actively involved in the business's day-to-day operations.
Building Dream Homes is more than a Dream for Brothers
"Peter and I are very hands-on. Peter manages the sales and design and I manage the construction teams," says Michael. Both brothers stay engaged with their clients. Michael attends frame inspections and client handovers, while Peter takes potential clients through the sales process.
Michael builds all the company's display homes to set the standard for his supervisors to ensure the highest quality home is produced for homebuyers. Michael says it also helps him to keep in touch with suppliers and trades.
"I like to maintain good relationships on job sites and make sure they're cooperating with each other so the jobs run smoothly," he adds. At the heart of the business is a strong sense of family and work ethic, gained at an early age from their parents. "They both worked hard and supported six of us," reflects Michael. "Peter and I shared a bedroom until I was 24 and he was 18 – we're a close family.
"Mum's family were Greek Macedonian vegetable farmers with a long history in the Hawkesbury," continues Michael. "We'd either be helping Dad at work or selling vegetables on the side of the road."
"Dad and Mum instilled in us the value of earning money for ourselves," Peter agrees. "We've been raised to get out, work hard and create opportunities." After leaving school, Michael started an apprenticeship making staircases with a local builder. "My boss was a master and a perfectionist. Under his guidance, I became a good joiner and staircase builder, and I had a natural eye for detail and quality," Michael recalls. "I'm a perfectionist myself; 'close enough' isn't good enough for me."
Younger brother Peter followed a similar path, gaining a building apprenticeship and establishing himself as a talented carpenter. Both brothers were driven to succeed. "I was cutting staircases in the evenings in my dad's basement," laughs Michael. "First to practice doing them, and then to quote and sell."
In 1999, the brothers purchased their first investment property together in North Richmond. "We won a site at auction," Michael remembers. "Dad would not have wanted us to get into debt so young so we said, 'Okay, we can't tell Dad.'" The brothers built three units, repaid the debt and made a profit. "This is what gave us our start," Michael says.
In 2009, they launched Kurmond Homes with a special family significance in the name. "When we were young, Dad loved a property in an area called Kurmond and always wanted to buy it," Michael explains. "We'd drive out to it often and he'd talk about his dream of a family farm. In the 1980s it came up for sale but Dad missed out and always lamented missing the opportunity to buy it. Other properties he bought didn't attract the same passion.
"When we started our business, the property came up for sale again. Peter and I bought it on the spot. This is where my wife and I live with our four boys, and Peter lives in a property around the corner. We love the area and have bought multiple properties surrounding it, so the Kurmond name is a genuine reminder that childhood dreams can turn into reality."
Kurmond Homes now employs 60 full-time staff and is kicking goals with award-winning home designs and satisfied homeowners. "Everyone must be looked after like they're the only client in our system," states Michael.
"We want our clients to have the opportunity to live in a designer home with the best possible range of inclusions. We make extravagant affordable."
Explore our Complete Homes
Kurmond Homes stands out for its extensive range of designer homes that can be uniquely customised. "Many large builders don't offer flexibility and just punch out the numbers – what you see is what you get," Michael says.
"Our homes can be customised on a large scale. We're designing and building dreams – you can't cookie-cut a dream."
"There's a real connection you make with a client when you're helping design their home," adds Peter. "The best moment is when you're handing the keys to the new homeowner."
Michael says that the business is very much a family environment and everyone is very close. "The key to our success is having the right people around us, and that includes our suppliers. They all know what we expect and how we prefer things to be done. We want the best out of everyone – that's why they're with us."
"Valuing the trades and suppliers is crucial to a successful building company," Peter continues. "Most of ours have been with us for 10 years and remain loyal – they know where we started. We have mutual respect for each other."
The Kulakovski brothers set Kurmond Homes apart with their drive, energy and work ethic, but it's the relationship they have with each other that has established the brand. "We're so close and truly enjoy working together," says Michael. "I couldn't see this business without either one of us."
"We certainly don't have a traditional workplace," laughs Peter. "When a business starts with two brothers and a sister, your behaviour in the workplace mimics the family environment and that culture carries over to new employees as the business grows. Our core team feels like family."
After 10 years of operation, the brothers believe they have the systems and teams in place to take Kurmond Homes successfully into the next decade and become a widely known household name.
"We've opened our eyes to possibilities far greater than we set out to achieve," says Peter. "We believe we can expand across New South Wales and possibly Australia, but we never get too far ahead of ourselves. You have to treat every day with the same work ethic and not waste any part of it. No excuses, just get the work done – that's the motto we live by."
And the hard yards are paying off. "We know how to build a good quality home and how to run a business," Michael says. "We've worked hard for what we've achieved and we're really proud of it."

About.me Founders Buy The Company Back From AOL
The founders of About.me, a site for creating personal home pages, have bought their company back from AOL, Nick Bilton at the New York Times reports.
AOL bought About.me in 2011 for ~$25 million, according to our sources. There is no word on the price About.me's founders are paying, but Tony Conrad, one of the founders, told Bilton it was a fraction of the price AOL paid.
Conrad explained the decision to Bilton saying, "I think we can build it so much faster, and so much better, by making it independent again … There's no obvious leverage in being part of the AOL media network, and there's no synergy and integration."
From AOL's perspective, About.me was just a cost-centre, says Bilton. It wasn't investing in the property and it didn't really fit. Two years ago, AOL was pursing a dual strategy. It was leaning into digital media while still experimenting with more software products. It tried to revamp instant messenger. It has offices out West.
Lately, it has pulled back on the software strategy. It's basically cut the instant messenger staff to zilch. As such, About.me didn't fit anywhere at AOL.
About.me sale to AOL was a surprise at the time. It had only existed as a standalone product for a week before AOL snapped it up.

A visitation is scheduled for 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Thursday at the Galloway Funeral Home in George West, and a graveside service is set for 9 a.m. at the George West Cemetery. Miller, who was born in the South Texas crossroads of Gause on May 4, 1915, played professionally from 1937-53 and pitched in a total of 24 big-league games from 1943-47 for the Washington Senators, St. Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs. He also played for the Missions in 1947, going 11-8 with a 3.61 ERA. He earned his nickname after pitching back-to-back doubleheaders and winning all four games for Lincoln (Neb.) in the Western League in 1939. "One newspaper said that I was as strong as an ox, and the rival evening paper responded by saying I was as dumb as an ox for pitching and winning those four games," Miller once said. Miller returned to South Texas after his professional career, working 34 years for the U.S. Postal Service. He retired in 1980. He managed semi-pro teams in Victoria, Sinton and Laredo, and for decades, he coached Babe Ruth League players in the Flax League, based in Kenedy.

Former big-league pitcher Jim Acker, University of the Incarnate Word pitching coach John Maley and Rodney Pedraza, who set the Japanese baseball record for saves by a non-Japanese player, were some of his protégés. "He never had any kids of his own, but he used to say that every one he coached was like one of his own," said Pedraza, who lives in Cuero. Al LaMacchia, who roomed with Miller in St. Louis and in Toledo, Ohio, said Miller had a lively sense of humor. "He would sneak out of bed in the morning, go down to the lobby and then call and wake me up," LaMacchia said. "He'd say 'Get up, we've got to go fix the fences in north pasture!' And he'd keep calling until I got up." Miller is survived by Opal Miller, his wife of 67 years.

While most business owners will say they'd kill to have the problem of having too much business, in reality it "kills" them to have to turn away any business. This can be a real problem though for your business as not all customers are created equally. As a small business owner how do you go about setting your selling price? Do you base it on the prices set by your competition? This is probably the most popular answer we hear, but that is not the right answer if you want your business to thrive.
Copying the pricing structure from your competition is a slippery slope for a smaller company. How do you know that your competition is setting their selling price properly? How do you know they are making money at those prices? To simply be at the lowest price point is putting your company on a going out of business curve. Ultimately, that is not the way to do it.
Chances are you won't have the information to properly evaluate your competition and how they run their business and their cost structure (e.g. their overhead, the equipment they use is it old, new or leased, etc.). All of these things within the competition's business could be very different from the operations of your business and thus be a bad way to set your selling price. Changing the selling price to be in line with your competition or to try and beat them out of business could be a formula for disaster.
You need to start by looking at all the costs associated with your business to determine a selling price of your goods and/or services and not rely just on the price point that your competition is using. The major components are material, labor, and overhead (sometimes referred to as fixed costs). All three of these need to be factored in when setting your selling prices to help ensure the health and profitability of your business.
Even if you do have a good handle on your true costs, we have found another common mistake is people confusing markups with margins. They are related but have a very different impact on the profitability of your business. It's important to use margins to set your selling price vs. markups which will erode away your anticipated profitability.
If your selling prices are in need of evaluation and you are mystified and even scared on how to do this, tune into this week's podcast on iTunes or http://maximumvp.com/dirty-secrets-small-business-radio-show-podcast/ or call Jack or Adam for help with your small business challenges at 877-849-0670.

Thor and Loki team up in new clip from Thor: The Dark World: watch now
By George Wales 2013-10-08T15:53:00.28Z News
Thor: The Dark World has released a new teaser clip online, showing Thor and Loki putting aside their (many) differences to form an alliance of necessity.
The new clip consists entirely of a conversation between Thor and his brother, as the former realises he must call upon the assistance of the latter in order to defeat the nefarious Malekith.
Needless to say, there are misgivings on both sides, but the brothers are grudgingly willing to put bygones in the past, in order to save Asgard from the grave peril it finds itself in.
Take a look at the new clip, below:
Much of the promotional material has focused upon the dynamic between Loki and Thor, and it's that buddy-movie tension that looks to provide the backbone of the new film. And judging by the two stars' chemistry, that can only be a good thing.
Directed by Alan Taylor and co-starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Natalie Portman, Thor: The Dark World will open in the UK on 30 October 2013.


LOS ANGELES The high flying adventures through the world of "Avatar" helped make it the highest grossing film of all time.
But there's more to the story that director James Cameron wanted to tell. So he added nine minutes to the 3-D epic.
He says they are scenes they all loved making, but had to originally cut out simply for time.
"It was a 2:40 film, nobody had ever done a 3-D film that long," said Cameron. "It was a big science experiment to see if people would be OK with a movie that long. It could have blown up in our faces. It didn't obviously, it did quite the opposite."
The new content is distributed throughout the movie, not placed in one big chunk.
We'll see things like creatures known as "Sturmbeests." And yes, we will be seeing a little more romance.
"There is a love scene in the film. It is PG-13," said Cameron. "We've added back 20 seconds, pretty much every frame we had. It is not graphic, but interesting."
Cameron has no expectations regarding additional box office from this re-release. He says the goal was just to have fun, both for him, his crew and the audience.
"It could be anything. It could be from nothing to huge. My instinct is it will be bigger than what people think because there may be a desire to end summer with one big family outing. And going back to Pandora again, with new stuff, to me that is a no-brainer. I'm gonna have to take my kids anyway."

Dance Documentaries
Posted on August 1, 2014 by Elise
I've seen three pretty good dance documentaries recently – two are about ballroom dancers, one was on ballet. For dancers, you get a glimpse into elite dance life and a fair amount of inspiration from the dance scenes themselves. For non-dancers, some parts may be more or less compelling, but these films still provide great insight into an unfamiliar, beautiful world of dance, revealing how much hard work gets put into this art form. Either way, they're worth a watch!
This new coming-of-age documentary aired on PBS recently as part of their POV series and is available to stream online here until August 20th, 2014. (If you are not in the US you can purchase it on iTunes.) The star is 15-year-old Egor, a Russian teen who has moved to the foreign country of Denmark for a partnership and elite Latin dance training. His mother is thousands of miles away in China and they rarely get to see each other, but Skype often. Fourteen-year-old Mie is his partner and new "sister"; Egor now lives with her and her family. The film follows them through the newish stages of their partnership, practicing, and attending a few big dancesport competitions. But the focus does really seem to be Egor's adjustment to a new country with different norms and culture while being away from family. It's also a character study into a quiet perfectionist with an intense drive and passion for what he does. He isn't comfortable sharing his feelings with others, which contributes to some frustrations. I'm not sure how interesting this documentary would be for non-dancers, but it was pretty enjoyable to me.
Ballroom Dancer
Also by Danish directors, this documentary focuses on the famous Slavik Kryklyvyy's attempt at a comeback with partner and girlfriend Anna Melnikova in the professional Latin division. He's said by some to be the best male Latin dancer today. If you have kept up at all with these two, you know how the story ends already (more or less), but the journey is still compelling. Slavik is an unrelenting perfectionist. He's tempestuous and demanding of Anna (an amateur world champion in her own right) in his pursuit of a professional Latin world championship – a title owned by his former amateur partner, Joanna Leunis. This film is full of interpersonal drama, but is also an intimate portrait of dancers, athletes, and artists in pursuit of being the best. Sometimes they talk a lot, other times everything is communicated through facial expressions and body language in silence. The studio rehearsal scene for their "Always On My Mind" rumba showcase is fantastic – moving, raw, intimate. I think it's even better than the actual performance. You can watch the movie here. It used to be on iTunes but has apparently disappeared.
First Position
And now for something different! Ballet! First Position follows six young dancers (aged 10-18-ish) on their journey to the Youth American Grand Prix, a major international event that leads to apprenticeships, scholarships, and coveted jobs for young ballet dancers. This is where all the major ballet companies can see them and where talent can be discovered. We meet dancers from all sorts of backgrounds, but it's clear that they have several things in common – dedication, passion, hard work, and unrelenting willingness to sacrifice. Their families must often do the same to support their children. Joan lives in the US, far away from his family in Colombia. Aran's family commutes hours to his studio. Miko's family decided to homeschool her so she would have more time from dance. Michaela was adopted from war-torn Sierra Leone, is one of few Black ballet dancers, and has to deal with an injury as the competition looms near. Each of the featured dancers has truly amazing skills, often surpassing those of the dancers you would typically see on So You Think You Can Dance. What's nice is you see that while these dancers are amazing, there are some struggles – occasionally they do mess up, which can be very noticeable in the super-precise, technical dance form of ballet. Again, common in these three documentaries, is the strive for perfection. It is also striking how many of these kids know what they want to do for the rest of their lives at such an early age, while many of the rest of us have no clue. Naturally, you can expect lots of really beautiful dancing in this film! What's nice is how they show other competitors, dancers, and parents as well, carving out a more complete depiction of this competitive ballet world.

Daily Mining Gazette/David Archambeau Michigan Tech's Brian Halonen controls the puck in the offensive zone during the third period of a game against Minnesota State Friday at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena.
HOUGHTON — Nearly everything about Friday night's matchup between the Michigan Tech Huskies hockey team and the No. 6 Minnesota State Mavericks was even, the score, 1-1, the quality scoring chances for much of the night, even the 3-on-3 overtime session.
In the end, the Huskies and Mavericks skated to a 1-1 tie with the Mavericks earning the extra point the WCHA standings thanks to a shootout goal from Chris Van Os-Shaw.
Huskies coach Joe Shawhan was mostly pleased with the effort his team gave for much of the night. However, he felt some individual mistakes at key moments cost the Huskies when it mattered most.
Just prior to the Mavericks' Jake Jaremko finding the space necessary to wind up his speed, drive the net and even the game with 55 seconds remaining, the Huskies' forwards blocked a pair of shots.
In addressing the Huskies' Blue Line Club prior to the contest, Shawhan mentioned that he and his staff have been trying to get the team to understand what it means for them to play for each other. Several hours later, he was pleased with the results, despite the tie.
"I'm very proud of the effort that they guys gave," he said. "There was definitely a commitment to playing for each other and I was proud of that effort.
Shawhan singled out the efforts of goaltender Matt Jurusik. The junior transfer, who came in riding a two-game shutout streak, played well in shutting out the Mavericks for 59:05.
"I'm very proud of the game we got in goal," said Shawhan.
Jurusik made some key saves throughout the night, most notably halfway through the second period when Michigan Tech was a man down due to a two-minute penalty by freshman defenseman Colin Swoyer.
The goaltender, who in his first season with the Black and Gold, admitted that having stretches where he is not seeing consistent work is never easy.
Jurusik said he never felt like he got uncomfortable with what was happening in front of him.
Jurusik made a key save in the first overtime frame with his glove that helped carry the game into a shootout, giving Michigan Tech an opportunity to get an extra point.
The Huskies broke open a scoreless tie 4:24 into the third period shortly after a faceoff on a man advantage. Junior defenseman Keegan Ford and freshman defenseman Colin Swoyer worked a give-and-go along the right side of the rink after the draw, which pulled the Mavericks to the right side of the rink and away from freshman center Brian Halonen. Halonen wound up for a one-timer and blasted a pass from Ford over Mavericks goaltender Dryden McKay's left shoulder.
Mavericks coach Mike Hastings pulled McKay with over two minutes left in regulation and was rewarded for his ingenuity when Jaremko found open ice and buried the tying goal.
Hastings knew, coming in, that tying to beat the Huskies during Winter Carnival was a tall task and he felt that his team reacted to the situation about as well as they could.
"I thought that was a really good hockey game," said Hastings. "We found a way to stay in there and found a way to tie it up. I thought both times had opportunities throughout the back half of the game to score and both goalies did a real good job.
With less than 24 hours until the two teams meet Saturday, Hastings was already planning his team's recovery.
"Right now we've got to get some rest," said Hastings "This is a quick turnaround. They've got to turnaround real quick also. For us, I'm expecting the same tomorrow.
The teams will meet Saturday at 5:07 p.m.

It's that time of the quarter again already – the time when analysts start guessing, journalists start analyzing and everyone else starts buying or selling Apple stock. That's right folks, it's Apple earnings call time!
Apple just announced its earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2013, with one theme standing out throughout the results – iOS is king, and Mac sales are slowing.
Let's take a look at those iOS results first.
According to Apple, the company managed to shift a record 47.8 million iPhones throughout the quarter, up on 37 million for the comparable quarter last year. The iPad, too, is continuing to prove popular with 22.9 million units sold. That's an increase of over seven million iPads compared to last year, with the hugely popular iPad mini no doubt partly to thank for such stellar results.
Unfortunately however, the Mac has not been shining quite so brightly. Apple disclosed that 4.1 million Macs were sold, down from the 5.2 million result posted last year. The iPod has also seen a decline in the number of unites sold – 12.7 million, down from 15.4 million during the same period in 2012.
Apple CEO Tim Cook was in bullish mood during the call, saying that he believed the Cupertino firm would continue to focus on innovation and that he is confident in Apple's product pipeline.
The combination of an increase in iOS sales and that decrease in Mac sales has still seen Apple announce record revenue for the quarter. Apple raked in $54.5 billion during the first fiscal quarter of 2013, with $13.1 billion of that being net profit. Just imagine how things may have turned if if it were not for that downturn in Mac sales!
Apple has been accused of focusing too much on its iOS business over the last year or two, with the Mac lineup arguably suffering from a lack of focus and attention whilst the iPad and iPhone have been raking in the profits. That is perhaps a little unfair, however, with the Retina display-equipped MacBook Pros and new, more powerful MacBook Airs helping to keep the Mac lineup fresh. The brand new iMacs are also wowing crowds, though there are certainly less people looking to pick up a new desktop computer than there are those queuing for a new iPhone, that's for certain.

Hometown: Fargo, ND
Experience: Concordia College
Player Profile: Joe has many "dance partners" - literally. He participates in an annual dance-a-thon to raise money for to develop a vaccine to prevent ingrown toenails. In this dance-a-thon, 1000's of dancers assemble at the Field of Dreams in Iowa. Foot and toe themed songs, such as Footloose, Popsicle Toes, Let Me Get You On Your Toes, Open Toes, These Boots are Made for Walking, Head Over Heels and Get On Your Feet. No dancer can dance with the same dancer for more than 1 foot song or more than 1 toe song (gotta be able to recognize those songs quickly!). Joe's record is dancing with 872 dancers in the 24 hour period. Unfortunately very little money is raised at this event and we are still without a vaccine.
