PPG Releases Q4, FY 2020 Earnings Report
Global coatings company PPG released its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report for 2020 last Thursday (Jan. 21), reporting fourth-quarter net sales of $3.8 billion, about 2% higher year over year.
PPG noted that impact of the COVID-19 pandemic included a sales volume decrease of about 1.5% and a selling price increase of about 1.5%. The four-quarter net income was reported at $272 million, with adjusted net income coming in at $378 million.
Meanwhile, full-year net sales landed at approximately $13.8 billion, down about 9% from the year prior.
PPG Chairman and CEO Michael H. McGarry focused on 2020 cashflow as well as the company's portfolio in his comments.
"Our strong earnings momentum continued in the fourth quarter as we delivered a second consecutive quarter of record operating margins. The more than 20% increase in our adjusted EPS was the result of strengthening year-over-year sales growth in our Industrial Coatings reportable segment, led by the automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM), general industrial and packaging coatings businesses. In addition, the global architectural coatings business continued its excellent execution as we leveraged higher year-over-year sales into strong earnings growth. Consistent with the third quarter, we achieved improved operating results despite continued weakness in several key end-use markets, including aerospace and automotive refinish coatings, which are still being heavily impacted by the ongoing pandemic.

"In addition to improving sales performance, we delivered nearly $40 million of incremental structural cost savings from business restructuring programs, bringing full-year savings to about $115 million. These permanent cost reductions will enable higher operating earnings leverage in future quarters as we experience further volume recovery from the pandemic. We also finished the year by generating record fourth quarter operating cash flow, bringing our full year total to $2.1 billion, driven by a 180 basis-point reduction in operating working capital as a percent of sales. Finally, in the past several months, we have announced several value-creating acquisitions, with each bringing differing strategic values to our portfolio."
Q4 By Segment
PPG's Performance Coatings segment recorded net sales of about $2.2 billion, down about 1% year over year. Despite increases from high selling prices and acquisition-related sales, those gains were reportedly offset by lower sales volumes, which are attributed to the pandemic.
In the Architectural Coatings segment, however, EMEA's net sales increased by a low-teen percentage and the Americas and Asia Pacific businesses were up by a mid-single-digit percentage. The PPG-Comex business, in Mexico, was also up by about 10%. However, subsegments such as aerospace coatings, had volumes down by more than 30%. In all, the segment income came in at around $299 million, down by 3% year over year.
The Industrial Coatings segment, however, had Q4 net sales of around $1.6 billion, or about 7% higher than the previous year. PPG attributes this to a demand for automotive and general industrial coatings. OEM coatings sales volumes also rose by a high-single-digit percentage. Segment income was at $282 million, up approximately 40% year over year.
"We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees while providing excellent support to our customers. I am proud of our global PPG team, and I want to thank our employees for their continued focus during these challenging times. To recognize our front-line and field workers for their outstanding commitment throughout the year, we accrued in the fourth quarter and are in the process of distributing about $6 million in bonuses in appreciation of their efforts. In addition, during the quarter, the PPG Foundation continued to provide relief support by donating about $2 million to communities in which we call home," McGarry said.
FY 2020, Looking Ahead
The company's 2020 full-year reported net income from continuing operations was about $1.1 billion, or $4.44 per diluted share, versus $1.2 billion, or $5.22 per diluted share, in 2019. Full-year 2020 adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $5.70 compared to $6.22 in 2019.
In addition to 2020 numbers, PPG also released a list of Q1 2021 forecasts, which includes:
Aggregate year-over-year sales volumes are anticipated to be flat to slightly higher, differing by business and region, and factors in one fewer shipping day compared to the prior-year quarter, impacting many of our distribution-oriented businesses;
Total incremental structural cost benefits from restructuring actions are expected to be between $30 million and $35 million, and about $25 million of interim cost savings are expected to be sustained during the quarter;
Corporate expenses are expected to be about $60 million, which is similar to each of the first and fourth quarters of 2020;
Net interest expense is expected to be between $27 million and $29 million;
The company's first quarter global ongoing effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 24% to 25%; and
Beginning in 2021, the company will report adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding amortization expense relating to intangible assets from completed acquisitions which, for the first quarter of 2021, is expected to be between $1.55 and $1.61. The mid-point of this range would be over 20% higher than the comparable adjusted-per-diluted-share figure for the first quarter of 2020 which was $1.31.
"Looking ahead, overall global coatings demand continues to improve in many of the end-use markets we serve and across all our major regions, and we expect overall global economic activity to strengthen in the first half of 2021. However, due to increasing pandemic-related restrictions and certain supply chain disruptions, there is uncertainty regarding when this coatings demand growth will fully materialize. Regardless of timing, PPG is well positioned to benefit from a number of positives that are anticipated to occur in the coming quarters. These include sales volume recovery in our technology-advantaged automotive refinish and aerospace coatings businesses, an eventual inventory restocking in certain industrial end-use markets, and synergy realization and earnings accretion as we integrate recently announced acquisitions," McGarry said.
"The performance we achieved in 2020 is a testament to our company's capabilities and is truly the result of the fortitude of PPG's global team as we work together to make it happen. I am looking forward to welcoming the employees from our acquisitions, and together I have no doubt that we are beginning 2021 as a stronger company."

Enter Kat and Gwen, two girls from very different backgrounds. Kat is happy to leave her home when the royal guard comes to bring her to the loving arms of her childhood sweetheart, Matt. Gwen on the other hand is livid to be taken from her farm only to be thrust into Jason's life, and he's not too thrilled with the idea either. They have one year to find happiness with each other, or else they will be placed at the mercy of the ruthless dragon lord Lynx. Favorite or not, dragon law must be obeyed.
This is the second book in the Dragons Saga. It runs a bit parallel with the first book, Legend of the Oceina Dragon – but this tells the story of the Inero dragons. We learn a lot of information that we were left wanting by the end of the first book. It was nice to see how well developed Ms Jenkins' dragon world is.
The culture of the Inero is very different from that of the Oceina. Where the Oceina rely on the ruse of a "sacrifice" to secure their brides, the Inero culture has a group of women called the "Elite". These young women are selected each month and brought before the eligible bachelors to be selected as wives. Everyone knows that if you are chosen to be "Elite" you will live a life of luxury in the castle located in Inero City. The Inero dragons have very large families but, unfortunately, the women are not valued much beyond their ability to produce offspring.
The twins, Matthias and Jason, are an interesting example of how two people, raised in the same environment, can develop very differently. Matt is a true "daddy's boy". The apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree here. He and Lord Lynx are very close and Matt has aspirations to one day be the great dragon lord of the Inero himself. While the physical twin of Matt, Jason, on the other hand, is very different in morals and personality. He is not very close to his father and has no political aspirations. Unlike the majority of the Inero dragons, he values women beyond their ability to procreate. This is most likely due to the fact that Jason was raised primarily by his father's various wives, while Lord Lynx doted over Matthias.
I really enjoyed the continued development of the dragon cultures in this sequel. While the seeds were in the first book, I felt that this one had a little more of a social and religious commentary/undertone than the first book. This is probably due to the further fleshing out of the plot and various dragon cultures. I enjoy a book that has more depth to it than just being an enjoyable read and this fits that bill.


The rich history of the Wymont Ranch is the stuff western legends are made of.
Starting in the early 1900's, Bob Tate and his parents raised remount horses for the United States Army. To be assured of the quality and quantity of horses needed for the ever growing US Army, the government provided local ranchers with high-grade Thoroughbred studs to put on their local mares for colts that were strong and athletic. The Wymont Ranch ran 300 mares and 50 of these army studs. When Bob enlisted, he was put to work riding and training remount horses at Fort Reno. As WWII neared its end, he was sent to Calcutta India with 10,000 mules and orders to trail them "over the hump" into China.
After WW2, Bob returned home and started raising, buying & selling the best horses he could find. His talent as a horseman and eye for good horses allowed him to produce champion show hunters and steeplechasers as well as multiple Hall Of Fame Polo ponies.
As the business grew Bob's daughter, Mimi, was swept up and proved her own talent in the saddle, riding polo ponies and hunter-jumpers for the operation. Later, she married famed rodeo cowboy, Jim Smith.
Jim started his career as one of the top saddle bronc riders in the country, winning the Calgary Stampede twice before he was 23 years old. After his decorated career as a bronc rider, Jim set out to build on what he had learned about horses to become a self-taught horseman that excels with ranch and arena horses.
Today, still in the beautiful foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, they concentrate on selling quiet, gentle, sound geldings for roping, personal trail horses, fox hunters, & 3-day event horses, but old habits die hard and a top playing polo pony can still be found around there from time to time including the above, currently played by Adolfo Cambiaso.

Sometimes you like a dish so much that you want to eat it again the next day. The same happens to me. Whenever I cook chicken or fish I store the leftovers in the fridge to use it the next day. Maybe this might happens with so many of you too. Yesterday when I cooked the pan seared lemony fish in butter-garlic sauce, I intentionally stored some leftover bits of that to make some chutney and onion-laden fish rolls for me. This easy to make roll requires a few things in hand and voila you have an amazing finger dish.. A fish roll !!

Cognate/Minor Area
(9 hours)
Students are required to pursue a cognate or minor area that relates to or enhances their program. Students are strongly encouraged to explore areas in departments across the university. Possible areas from which to select cognate courses include the following:
Studies in Aging
Classical Greek Studies
Digital Video Production Certificate
Educational psychology/research
Geography & World Systems
Hispanic Marketing Communication Certificate
Peace & Conflict Studies
Sociology of the Family
Theater Studies
Capstone Experience
Students select one of three options to complete the master's program: Capstone Creative Project, Thesis or Courses-Only Option.
Capstone Creative Project
This creative project should represent a student's complete mastery of the skills and knowledge covered in his or her program of studies.
Sample Creative Projects:
Sometimes a graduate student's creative project may be closely aligned with a Graduate Certificate Program. Some examples:
After a student has completed the Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Video Production, the student may choose to conceptualize/write, cast, direct and edit a documentary or narrative video.
After a student has completed the Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Video Production, the student may choose to produce, write, and direct one or more episodes of a news or public affairs program that will be cablecast on FSU Channel 4 or broadcast on WFSU-TV.
After a student has completed a Graduate Certificate Program in "Arts and Community Practice," the student who also has an expertise in web design may create a web site for a local dance company.
Other times, the student's nine hours of cognate courses may lead to a possible creative project. For example:
After completing nine hours of graduate courses in English Literature and Film, a student may desire to write a screenplay adaptation of a novel.
After completing nine hours of graduate courses in Women's Studies and Performance Studies, a student may choose to work with a particular population, e.g., African-American returning female college students, and help them to compile, edit, and perform their stories for a live theatre audience.
The goal of a master's thesis is to add to our general knowledge about communication. This goal can be reached in two ways: (1) conducting research, providing analysis or offering critical evaluation of an original topic; or (2) replicating previous research, providing a fresh analysis, or offering a new critical evaluation of a topic in light of recent developments in communication scholarship. The thesis option is highly recommended for those who intend to pursue advanced graduate studies.
Courses-Only Option
In place of the capstone experience, students may complete additional coursework in the MCS area.
Students are encouraged to consider the following certificate programs:
Certificate in Digital Video Production
Certificate in Multicultural Marketing Communication
Certificate in Project Management
Fall admission -- July 1 Spring admission -- November 1 Summer admission -- March 1 Doctoral program -- Dec. 15

Drkoop Receives Lifeline, Faces SEC Probe
By Jennifer M. Hampton
August 22, 2000 12:00 AM PT
Beleaguered Internet health network Drkoop.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: KOOP) announced a $20 million (US$) cash infusion and the appointment of new management Tuesday, just as it was disclosed that the company is under scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Drkoop.com acknowledged that it has been hit with several class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws.
"The SEC is investigating the circumstances surrounding the allegations in the litigations," the company stated in its most recent earnings report, "and asking that the Company voluntarily provide information regarding such events and circumstances."
Just Checking
The company stated it is looking into whether action should be taken "for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and other matters against certain present and prior directors and officers in a stockholders derivative action."
Drkoop.com said the letter from the SEC regional office "states that the SEC's request for information should not be construed as an indication by the SEC that any violation of the federal securities laws has occurred."
With respect to the class actions, the company said, "We believe that the claims asserted in the lawsuits we are aware of are without merit and [we] intend to defend these litigations vigorously."
Pain in the Pocketbook
Drkoop.com said Monday that its second quarter losses widened to $40.6 million. In response, it has been implementing aggressive cost-cutting measures, which include the renegotiations of portal agreements, a substantial reduction in the company's workforce, and a reduction in its advertising expenses.
The embattled company told the SEC that it filed its second quarter results late because "efforts to pursue significant corporate transactions placed significant demands on our financial staff."
Such efforts apparently resulted in Tuesday's announcement of the receipt of $20 million in equity financing, a new management team and a reconfigured board.
Big Boost
The cash infusion comes from a group that includes Prime Ventures, Inc., JF Shea Ventures, Cramer-Rosenthal-McGlynn, Inc. and RMC Capital.
The new management team and its investor group have invested $3.5 million as part of the new financing, which was offered solely to accredited investors in a private placement of convertible preferred stock. The total could be increased to as much as $27.5 million if outstanding overallotment options with identified investors are exercised.
In conjunction with the financing, the company has appointed three new executives. Imall founder and former [email protected] vice president Richard M. Rosenblatt has been installed as Chief Executive Officer, replacing Drkoop co-founder Donald Hackett. Edward A. Cespedes was named President, and Stephen Plutsky Chief Financial Officer.
Hackett will remain on the board, but the new investors will take control of the board with four new appointments.
The incoming management team currently leads Prime Ventures, a venture capital fund investing primarily in technology and Internet companies.
Rosenblatt, who sold iMall to Excite in 1998, founded the fund in March.

Here's what happened when Nirvana once prank called Gene Simmons
Rachael Dowd Published: January 15, 2021
[Photos via Gene Simmons/Spotify, Nirvana/Spotify]
Back in 1994, Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved, a KISS tribute album, was released. The LP features numerous artists such as Anthrax, Lenny Kravitz and Garth Brooks among others. It turns out that Gene Simmons asked Nirvana to be part of the tribute album.
However, all he ended up getting was a prank phone call.

Over the years, numerous stories and unseen photographs from Nirvana's run in the '90s have emerged. Last year, a former rock promoter revealed how Nirvana ended up playing football against Chippendales strippers during their 1991 tour. As well, in December, fans got a rare look at Nirvana's early days when photos from one of their first-ever U.K. shows were rediscovered.
Now, another entertaining story about Kurt Cobian, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic has come about. While recording In Utero, Nirvana heard from Gene Simmons who asked the band to be part of that KISS tribute album. According to In Utero's producer Steve Albini, the band weren't too keen on the idea. As a result, Nirvana coerced Albini into prank calling Simmons.
"They didn't want to do it," Albini tells the whatever, nevermind podcast. "But they didn't particularly want to talk to Gene Simmons so they had me call and pretend to be Kurt. That was pretty funny. Basically, I sort of bumbled through an excuse that would allow them to not do it without having to say they didn't want to be on a KISS tribute record. They were very fun-loving people. I enjoyed that session, they were fun to hang around with."

This latest story about Nirvana arrives shortly after Grohl got candid about his time in the band. In a new interview with Classic Rock, Grohl recalls how he spent his days with Cobain and Novoselic when he joined the band.
"When I first joined the band it was so much fun," he recalls. "I lived on the couch in Kurt's living room, we rehearsed in a barn, we set up our gear and played those songs and people bounced around and got hot and sweaty. I really loved the connection and the appreciation that Nirvana's audience had with the band."
These days, Grohl finds himself having vivid dreams about performing onstage with Nirvana again. In particular, he dreams about the trio waiting to play for an empty area. For Grohl, these dreams are a reminder of the time that has passed and the music Cobain created before his death.

"I still have dreams that we're in Nirvana, that we're still a band," he says. "I still dream there's any empty arena waiting for us to play. But I don't sit down at home and run through "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by myself. It's just a reminder that the person who is responsible for those beautiful songs is no longer with us. It's bittersweet."
Grohl also recently revealed why fans shouldn't expect him to ever sing a Nirvana song.
Nirvana's In Utero is available to stream below.

Alibaba plans new shopping event for Spring Festival
By Meng Jing (China Daily) Updated: 2015-11-13 07:43
A Chinese employee of an e-commerce company holding a signboard of Tmall kneels down in front of a portrait of Jack Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba Group, to pray for good sales at a ceremony before the 11.11 Shopping Festival in Panyu district, Guangzhou city, South China's Guangdong province, Nov 10, 2015. [Photo/IC]
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd said on Thursday that it will create another online shopping event in the next two months to tap further into rural consumption.
The e-commerce giant, which generated a gross merchandise volume of 91.2 billion yuan ($14.3 billion) in the 24-hour sales event on Wednesday, said it will hold a similar festival to coincide with the upcoming Spring Festival in February.
Zhang Yong, chief executive officer of Alibaba, said like urban residents, many rural consumers have also become online shopping enthusiasts. "The soon-to-be-launched shopping event will better serve rural consumers and bring more agricultural products to the dining tables of urban consumers," he said.
The Hangzhou-based firm said the Spring Festival event will be launched by its customer-to-customer site Taobao and its Rural Taobao business unit, which is dedicated to online shoppers in rural areas.
Sun Lijun, vice-president of Alibaba who is in charge of Rural Taobao, said the Spring Festival shopping gala will help narrow the gap between urban and rural consumers.
"We want villagers to celebrate Lunar Chinese New Year with seafood from New Zealand and wine from France. That said, we also want urban residents to enjoy high-quality fresh produce delivered directly to their doorsteps," he said.
Alibaba has made globalization and going-rural its top priorities for further development. Last year, it said it will invest 10 billion yuan over the next three to five years to provide e-commerce services in about 100,000 villages.
Rural shoppers proved their buying power by pouring more than 10 million yuan in the first eight minutes of the Nov 11 online shopping festival. People in 8,000 villages participated in the 24-hour sales on Wednesday. The most expensive order of the day was an order for a Porsche at about 500,000 yuan.
Alibaba didn't disclose the specific purchases made by rural shoppers, but said that items such as TV sets, air conditioners, shampoos and oil were very popular in villages.

For this one: You must call out the rest of the summer camp for trashing your department.
Matt's note: This one is planned to be part of a summer camp horror play.
So for today's morning meeting, I've been asked to talk about Tolerance. I'm new to this camp but just like Stan said, you all have a great opportunity, here: You all get to be in a place where we all are accepted.
And anyone does something that makes you mad, this is the place where you get to work that out rather than reject that person or fight them. It's a huge plus to be able to do that at a young age. You can actually talk to that person and learn more about the situation, work through misunderstandings.
hey I NEVER do this when borrowing supplies from other departments so like "what the flip?"
Yeah, am I the ONLY one who was brought up to respect property that isn't mine, but maybe it's because I didn't grow up with a lot of stuff and my parents taught me to value everything that was handed to me and this just might not be a place where the campers OR counselors come from that background, I mean, do any of you pick up ANYTHING at home or do you all have the MAIDS do it, or is it just that I should cancel my sports classes for a day and just throw things on the field for all you other assholes to pick up?!
And uh... like I said, that's just what my mind says, that's my tolerance... thing. And that's pretty amazing because we can TALK about these things, here and not... you know... be judged.

Album Review: Eli Forrest – Intertwined (Winner NMF Ep 55)
23 9:00 am
Category: Acoustic, Folk, Piano, Pop, Singer Songwriter
If you're a fan of singer songwriters, Eli Forrest is an artist you'll want to know. Whether you compare him to artists from the 60s or more recent talents like Kyle Cox, Eli Forrest is a force to be reckoned with. He's a wizard with a guitar and, as we learn with this EP, a really talented songwriter as well. Here's why the album is worth your time.
"Mystery Man" has some runs that I swear I haven't heard since the Ventures were making music in the 60s. The vocal calls and runs themselves hearken back to the days of the Beach Boys. In fact, the invocation of those two artists shows how Forrest has a sort of west coast flavor to his music. It's really the remarkable harmony-balanced-with-guitar work that gives Forrest's music a distinctive characteristic.
"Right at Home" feels like a cool rock song in its own right. The uptempo flavor could make it a typical indie rock anthem like many that we hear. But honestly the lyrics and clear inflection are in a different category. It's a break up song and a celebration in ways that we rarely get to hear, but it really works. The interlude "Endearment" shows that Forrest is not "just a rock guy" with some classical phrasing. Honestly, I'd love to hear a full album of instrumentals in that mode. It might not be right to call it new age, but it's certainly "contemporary classical" and it is maybe my favorite part on the whole album.
The title track "Intertwined" is much more of a pop song than the others on the album. It's got a Randy Newman characteristic to it. That said, if we assume the object of the lyrical content is the same person in the last two tracks, it's easy to tell why more people have latched on to the final track "You." This is a masteful piece of writing. It's cinematic and deeply pleasing. For people who listen to lots of music in a given week, there might be months that go by without hearing a song with this kind of spirit. It sounds like something Matt Thiessen could have written. You need to hear it, that's all.
If you're still reading, thank you. Thank you from us and thank you from Eli Forrest. This kind of musical talent is so rare. To realize that Forrest wrote and recorded this all himself is simply stunning. I'd love to hear what he could do with a full team to support his efforts. But that's what's amazing about the indie music scene and guys like Eli Forrest. Instead of this music languishing in his home with no listeners, now thousands of us can listen and enjoy. We can connect our hearts with his and with each others, aching and longing for someone we love and thinking about all the worlds that could have been or might still yet be. It's a joy. Do share, please.

Q: Bootstrap material design - Ripples not showing in popover I am using bootstrap material design: https://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/bootstrap-elements.html
This includes a neat ripple effect when pushing buttons, and this works everywhere in my page except in a popover div that has display:none in the html but is made visible to the user with javascript.
HTML:
Click to open popover

        This is your div content

            5
            6
            7

JS:
$(".pop").popover({
    trigger: "manual",
    html: true,
    animation:false,
    content: function() {
        return $($(this).attr('data-id')).html();
    }
}).on("mouseenter", function () {
    var _this = this;
    $(this).popover("show");
    $(".popover").on("mouseleave", function () {
        $(_this).popover('hide');
    });
}).on("mouseleave", function () {
    var _this = this;
    setTimeout(function () {
        if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
            $(_this).popover("hide");
        }
    }, 200);
});

If I take out style="display:none", the ripple effect works, but including it makes the ripples effect not work for the buttons inside the div, really strange. Is there any way for me to keep display:none (because that way the popover works just like I want it to), but still have the ripples effect on the buttons in the div?

A: Try calling $.material.ripples() after showing the popup.

It is perhaps the most staggering piece of artwork in the whole of human history, renowned for its accuracy in the depiction of the human body. Anyone who has seen it up close comes away in awe of the fact that someone had the ability to carve such a piece from stone.
Now, imagine, that one day we will see a 3D printer that could print Michelangelo's David utilising concrete and other advanced materials – and that if such a statue would be placed next to the original, most people would be unable to tell the difference!
That was one of my messages in my March 2017 keynote for the American Concrete Institute, with with over 1,000 executives from this industry in the room.
My job was to outline for them the opportunities that will come to the industry from embracing fast paced trends. And I put on the table for them the idea that the boldest goal in their industry would be accomplished when someone was able to print Michelangelo's David utilising a 3D printer.
Here's the thing — we might see these big bold bets be achieved sooner rather than later. I continually emphasise to my clients that the future is happening all around them, and that it's happening faster than they think.
In China, an entire 4,305 sq. ft, 2-storey home has been printed with a 3D printer, with walls as thick as 8 ft and with 9 ft ceilings. It took 45 days from start to finish, and was printed in one go at the building site.
Consider this office building in Dubai which was printed in concrete using a 3D printer.
There are fascinating trends which come from the ability to 3D print with concrete. We can get more flexible designs, with concrete that is warped or twisted. Waste is significantly reduced, new design concepts are suddenly possible, and we can cut down on the cost of manufacturing.
People are talking about the fact that it will lead us to an era in which we can 'design for deconstruction' — printing in such a way that when a building is eventually decommissioned, we can dissassemble it rather than blowing it up!
Of course, 3D printing is already passe, I pointed out to my audience at the American Concrete Institute: people are already talking about 4D printing — which has materials that can change shape depending on the environment they are in!
Bottom line? Consider this comment by architect James Gardiner: "Using 3D-printed wax moulds for concrete components, we will have a completely different paradigm. This is transformative technology".

Ariana Lopez claimed Cruz sold knives at school and openly sympathized with terrorists in Syria.
A former friend and fellow student and former friend of Florida Shooter Nikolaz Cruz, repeatedly warned their school of his escalating 'disturbing behavior' but was totally ignored.
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Lopez told d ABC's Good Morning America she had warned officials "multiple" times in 2016 and 2017 that Cruz was selling weapons in school and beating his girlfriend.
The mainstream media have been forced to retract that the Florida shooter, Nikolas Cruz, was a member of a white supremacist group, as it emerged to that story was complete fake news.
RT reports: 19-year-old Cruz was charged with killing 17 people during his assault rifle rampage at the school in the town of Parkland, north of Miami, last Wednesday.
Florida Governor Rick Scott has demanded FBI Director Christopher Wray resign after the agency admitted it failed to forward a detailed tip-off about Cruz's impending massacre to its Miami field office.
"When members of the public contact us with concerns, we must act properly and quickly," Wray said, promising to "get to the bottom" of his organization's fatal oversight.


RESTON, VIRGINIA—Oct. 30, 2018— The Licensing Executives Society (U.S.A. and Canada), Inc. (LES) today issued the following statement commending the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") Andrei Iancu for his leadership.
"We thank the USPTO's Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Andrei Iancu for his leadership in adopting and publishing a Final Rule changing the claim construction standard in various proceedings before the USPTO, including inter partes review."
"Prior to the rule change, the USPTO used the broadest reasonable interpretation when construing claims in post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). However, district courts used the Phillips standard, which interprets the claims based on the view of one of skill in the art at the time the invention is made. Because two different standards were applied, consistency and predictability for patent owners were compromised. In particular, patent owners were subject to expensive and time-consuming litigation in multiple forums – the UPSTO and one or more district courts – where different results could occur because of the different standards. These inconsistent claim construction standards led to weakening our patent system. This, in turn, discourages innovation, reduces investment, and hinders the formation of new businesses and industries."
"LES is a non-partisan, non-profit, volunteer-driven professional society devoted to speeding innovation to market. For over 50 years, we have been the only society devoted exclusively to professionals representing innovation-centered enterprises of all sizes and kinds. LES' vision is to connect and inspire the broad diversity of people involved in IP, intellectual capital management, and ICM standards development. We represent all industries, from high technology to pharma/biotech. Our members are inventors, entrepreneurs, business executives, accountants, and lawyers. And, we represent licensors as well as licensees. In short, we represent all sides in all quadrants of the innovation economy. We are devoted to the principle that intellectual property is a private property right that must be respected like any other form of private property – through predictable, reliable, and durable legal rights that are worthy of investment and command the respect of the market."
"The adoption of the Final Rule changing the claim construction standard is welcome and supported by LES. This rule will encourage innovation and investment into intellectual property because it creates more consistent outcomes."
Established in 1965, Licensing Executives Society (U.S.A. and Canada), Inc. (LES) is a professional society of more than 2,200 members engaged in the creation, commercial development, and orderly transfer of intellectual property rights; protection and management of intellectual capital; and intellectual capital management standards development. LES members are business leaders, accountants, economists, IP valuation experts, supply chain managers, lawyers, technology transfer specialists, public policy leaders, lobbyists, mergers and acquisitions experts, tax specialists, deal-makers, strategic planners, business model innovators, consultants, engineers, licensing executives, and scientists. These members represent innovation-centered enterprises of all sizes and kinds— such as government laboratories, professional services firms, universities, operating companies, regulatory authorities, licensing specialty firms, and trade associations. LES is a member society of the Licensing Executives Society International, Inc. (LESI), which has 32 sister societies representing 10,000 members in 90 countries. www.lesusacanada.org.


Coronary heart pounding like just a little girl about to be reprimanded for not doing homework, I reluctantly stepped out of the well-known cogwheel train at Alpiglen station. The large north face of Mt. Eiger loomed massive above the frozen landscape. It wasn't until my guide informed me she'd let her four-year outdated daughter go sledding alone did my frayed nerves relax a bit. What followed after the preliminary scare is a ride I am going to never forget!
It was beginning to point out some put on so off to Greatest Purchase for assist as they're a giant Samsung outfit. Upon studying the distressing news that Samsung had discontinued the product (mon dieu!), apparently on account of low gross sales, I was confronted with a mind-boggling choice of what to purchase next. The decision is akin to sorting by all of the wineries in Napa/Sonoma these days.. a lot selection to select from.
When in your seat, use the pillows and take a lumbar support if it's good to enable you to get in probably the most comfy place you can. Airline seats were not designed for individuals with again pain but there is a lot you can do with blankets and pillows to make yourself less uncomfortable. If it helps you put your ft on a raised space to carry your knees and hips in a better alignment, you will have to experiment with this.
If you find yourself born you begin at age 1 not zero. It is the one country that follows this technique. But if you visit Korea, be prepared to get requested how old you might be. Often times it is one of the first few questions when meeting a brand new acquaintance. Age and the elder are handled with an enormous amount of respect. Additionally, when eating or consuming out it's common for the eldest particular person to pay for the bill.
I believe traveling with pets are a bit of exhausting. I have never travel with pets before but I did travel with my 1 month previous child. It was really hectic for me. He cried lots and having a hard time changing him. The previous few years were good for women with gray hair. The jewel colours of emerald and cobalt blue are traditional, recent, sharp, and crisp. All-over Denim: One lengthy line, consolation, and..sure… denims briefly and lengthy lengths. I'm prepared for this look as I have a pair denim shirts (light-weight, one with quick sleeves, one sleeveless). This goes from garden to grocery retailer to grabbing a chunk to eat. I wish to travel to meet individuals. Each town has its passion and specialties; and its people are all the time desirous to share the historical past behind it.


Lila Abu-Lughod joins amicus brief against the Executive Order on the "Muslim Ban"
Lila Abu-Lughod, a director of the CSSD projects Reframing Gendered Violence and Religion and the Global Framing of Gender Violence, joined several scholars in an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court in the case by Muslim Advocates against the Executive Order on the "Muslim Ban."
Her research in Do Muslim Women Need Saving? supported the argument that invoking "honor killings" in the Executive Order indicates animus toward one religious group.


Jasmine and Paul tied the knot at the start of December at the always gorgeous Magenta Shores Resort. While there was a little rain on the day, this didn't dampen anyone's spirits… you literally couldn't wipe the smiles of their faces. While we did have to dodge the rain for the location shoot (and umbrellas came up for a little bit during the ceremony), it made me think of some alternate photos, and I captured some lovely indoor shots at Magenta. Rain on a wedding day is good luck, and not something to worry about, so it was so great to see Jasmine and Paul embrace everything on their day and just have the best wedding day ever!
I loved being a part of Paul and Jasmine's wedding day, and am excited to let everyone know that their wedding photos can now be viewed in their secure online gallery here. I hope that you all love them!!!

All too often, companies don't think about safeguarding their IT systems until it's too late – until disaster has struck and they learn the hard way that perhaps they should have put their data warehouse in a more secure location and done due diligence to back up their systems.
Hospital Logistics Inc. (HLI) didn't want to make that mistake. Its computer room was located in its warehouse — and this worried David Yundt, the president and chief operating officer of the Oakville, Ont., supply chain manager.
It recently decided to move its data systems to Teranet Enterprises Inc. HLI's computer room didn't have the same standards as a company that specialized in providing secure data hosting services, Yundt says. While HLI had power backup systems in place, it didn't have protection against such possibilities as water damage or even proper air conditioning.
In addition, HLI's business — providing just-in-time inventory management and distribution of medical supplies to hospitals — was growing and physical constraints made it difficult for it to expand its systems.
"Also, we had our data system in the same location as our warehouse. We didn't want to lose our inventory and IT systems at the same time," Yundt says.
HLI actually put out an request for proposal a few years ago, but wasn't happy with any of the prospects so it decided to stay with the status quo. During the last round, HLI expanded the scope of what it was looking for and Teranet also entered the bidding process.
Before making a decision, HLI did its homework. It looked into Teranet's financial stability, and at who its current customers were. It had meetings with the company to ensure it had the required expertise and visited the company's facilities.
These are the kinds of steps all companies should take before outsourcing, says Dale Hedges, director of Western Management Consultants in Calgary.
Companies should begin the outsourcing process by making sure they clearly understand their goals and objectives, he says. A company must decide whether the activity it's considering outsourcing is strategic to the company business or not. If it's strategic or a key way in which it differentiates itself from the competition, then it might be better off keeping it in-house.
It should also consider whether it fully understands the activity and whether it knows what the costs are. Companies should then ask themselves if the outsourcer can do it better.
"It's almost like a decision tree that you go through," Hedges says.
It's not easy for companies to hand over a part of their business, says Donald Stokes, the healthcare practice lead at Teranet in Toronto. "They're giving up the hands-on feeling," he says.
However, outsourcing can come with many benefits, he says. Companies can focus on growing their business, he says.
Once the decision is made to outsource, companies should then investigate prospective partners, Hedges says. They should check to see if they have the right techniques and knowledge and ensure that they can be responsive and deliver on the service level agreement (SLA).
The SLA should take into account factors such as response time and should include a process for escalation if a provider doesn't deliver and a promise.
Companies often forget to include performance metrics in SLAs, Hedges says. These include criteria such as responding to calls in "X" amount of time as well as providing "X" amount of uptime.
Companies should also stipulate the level of capability of the people working on their account to ensure that someone can't walk off the street and start handling their business. The person should either have a certain amount of knowledge, some certificates or go through a training program. They should also understand the customer's business.
Finally, Hedges says, companies shouldn't think that just because they're handing over a part of their business, they can forget about it. Rather, someone in-house still needs to take responsibility for that business process.
For HLI, an important factor in deciding who to outsource to was to make sure the provider could handle a smooth transition. HLI operates six days a week, and it wanted to make sure there were no interruptions, as the medical supplies are critical to the hospitals.
HLI and Teranet created a very detailed project plan, Yundt says. It did a lot of planning and testing and enlisted the help of IBM — its equipment provider — when it came time to do the move.

Are you presenting the most convenient shopping experience for your customers? Modern era convenience encompasses so many things, such as online shopping as well as swift delivery. Even in brick and mortar stores, the shopping and paying process has been streamlined for extra convenience. This is most evident in credit and debit card acceptance. There are so many advantages for consumers to use a plastic card instead of cash. Many of those advantages carry over to the merchant as well.
Why should merchants offer credit card payment options?
The ultimate goal of any business is to make sales and earn a profit. Offering multiple payment options is one of the key methods of increasing sales. When a customer has more than one payment option, they are more likely to make a purchase. They are also more likely to perceive your business in a positive light, both because of the convenience afforded them and the higher status implied by having multiple payment facilities.
Many modern consumers are reluctant to carry cash and prefer paying by credit or debit card for both large and small purchases. However, offering credit card payment options has more benefits than simply increasing sales. Merchants that accept credit card payments not only typically increase their number of sales, but also typically increase the value of each sale.
Consumers' spending habits generally change when they use credit cards compared to when they use cash. Credit card holders tend to place higher value on product quality and features instead of price when shopping. Therefore they are more likely to purchase products with the best features or highest quality, which are typically the products with higher price tags.
Are you offering your customers the credit card premium?
The reasoning behind consumers' perception of the 'credit card premium' can be used to a merchant's advantage to increase sales. Basic consumer psychology explains why this phenomenon exists: spending money triggers guilt. When paying with cash, the consumer has a physical reminder in their hands of their financial limits, which can increase their guilt and hesitance to spend money. However, when paying with a card, a consumer's budget or limit is more abstract, and they may feel they have more to spend. "Out of sight, out of mind" or "pay now, think about the bill later" can often sum up the thought processes behind paying with a card instead of cash. While this type of spending behavior can lead to overspending and debt, statistics show that a vast majority of consumers rely on credit when making purchases, from one-off items to recurring bills and fees.
Merchants that provide credit card payment options are catering to consumers' perceptions of convenience and to the credit card premium. By understanding their customers' preferences and spending habits, merchants can improve their shopping experiences and increase their sales at the same time.

GLAMOUR EXCLUSIVE: WOMEN OF THE YEAR ALL YEAR: BEAUTY
Meet the Women Changing the Beauty Industry in 2019
New York, NY––August 13, 2019––This year has made one thing clear: women are showing up, stepping up, and taking what they deserve. From politics to pop culture, women aren't just leveling the playing field, they're owning it. As Glamour ramps up to the annual Women of the Year summit, we will be highlighting women across industries who do the work every day. Whether it's the CEO of a multinational retail corporation, a James Beard Award-winning chef, or the World Cup champions, here are the women you need to know right now.
This month: the 12 women who are making their mark in the world of beauty, where entrepreneurs, artists, influencers, and legislators are fighting to make the industry—and our culture at large—a more inclusive, truly beautiful place.
The full list of women is below.
All beauty features can be found here.
Revisit the College Women of the Year, here, and the Women of the Year in sports, here.
Poosh Founder Kourtney Kardashian: The Safe-Beauty Star
"I don't know if cosmetics regulation has been swept under the rug because when you say the word 'cosmetics' you think of girls putting on makeup—but it's so much more than that. It's all personal care products, from things you use on newborn babies to deodorant, toothpaste, and face wash...By calling it 'cosmetics,' it's not taken as such a serious issue."
The eldest Kardashian sister is using her star power to not only bring awareness to the lack of FDA regulation in the cosmetics industry—it's been 80 years since the FDA last made any changes to cosmetics laws—she's also pushing Congress to change it. This year she launched Poosh, a lifestyle website she hopes will spark conversation around health and wellness in a palatable way.
Read her full feature here.
Social Media Beauty Star Jackie Aina: The Power Influencer
"I truly mean this wholeheartedly, whenever I talk about brands, I want them to actually implement that feedback and use it to their benefit."
After rising to fame as a beauty influencer, Aina continues to stand out in a saturated field by using her platform to hold brands accountable. The 32-year-old boasts 3 million subscribers on YouTube, and 1.2 million followers on Instagram, and speaks out about beauty brands who lack inclusivity or promote colorism. Her commitment to accountability is working––brands now invite Aina to work behind the scenes to help them ensure products cater to deeper skin tones from the get-go.
Ashley Armitage: The Body-Positive Photographer
"I went into photography thinking, I want to bring in a new voice. I want to show different body types, different genders, different skin tones, and things that society would say are imperfect like fat rolls, pimples, or stretch marks. I thought, 'I'm going to have to continue doing this work, because we have to normalize this, apparently.'"
The 26-year-old social photographer shoots dreamy but hyper-realistic images of women's bodies—whether that's showing girls handing each other a tampon under the bathroom door, or them grooming their body hair for a Billie's ad. In 2018, she directed a 30 second commercial that was the first ad ever to show women actually removing body hair. Her focus on the female gaze is a breath of fresh air in the male-dominated film and photography industries.
Model Mama Cax: The Visibility Crusader
"I'd love to see [more of us] in campaigns about jewelry or wedding rings. Disability crosses so many identities, and oftentimes those aren't represented. Kids need to see disabled people in families, as couples, as a love interest, just like you're representing everyone else. The focus doesn't have to be disability; it needs to be the person. That's what's still missing."
Whether on the runway, in an Olay ad, or on Instagram, Mama Cax brings an important message—that women with disabilities are just that, women, and they deserve to be seen. Cax, who has a prosthetic leg, is pushing for the modeling world to be more inclusive and redefine what beauty looks like.
L'Oréal Paris Deputy General Manager Anne Marie Nelson-Bogle: The Culture-Shifting Exec
"Women are defined by so much more than just their age or backgrounds, and we [L'Oréal Paris] want this to come across in everything we do…At the very heart of my job is creating awareness around every woman's worth."
Nelson-Bogle has worked at L'Oreal Paris for 15 years, serving in eight roles and powering some of the brand's biggest campaigns. Now, as the company's Deputy GM, she takes on the important job of pushing back against the status quo set by the beauty industry for years. She's the decision-maker behind all the spokeswomen, and she's leading the charge with a sharp, forward-thinking vision.
Beauty Bakerie Founder Cashmere Nicole: The New-Age CEO
"I lived in this survival mode. As a single mom, you don't really have a choice. If you don't keep going, if you stop today, it's a matter of if you eat or not."
Indie beauty brands are popping up left and right, but none have captured attention quite like Beauty Bakerie and its founder Cashmere Nicole. A black single mother and cancer survivor, Nicole struck gold on the perfect mix of fun, inclusive beauty that caters to all women. Her determination to run a brand on her terms paid off: Beauty Bakerie is now valued at $15 million.
Hair Stylist Lacy Redway: The Stylist Every Celebrity Wants
"There are still huge hair stylists who work in the business that refuse to learn techniques [for textured hair]. They'll take the job, hire an assistant to come in, and then they'll put their name on it. It's so wild that the industry still supports this behavior. As a hairstylist, I don't think you can truly consider yourself the best unless you can really cater to everyone."
Redway is one of the most sought after stylists in Hollywood. She is a master of textured hair at a time when even many top tier stylists don't know the basics. Redway is adamant that these huge gaps in education should no longer be tolerated, and demands the industry be more inclusive of women of color.
Megababe Founder Katie Sturino: The Chub-Rub Queen
"I got the idea for Megababe because after years and years of using a men's product to stop thigh chafe, I was like, is this the best I can do? A product that's meant for men's ball areas? There was nothing just for women that wasn't embarrassing or cheesy, and I thought there needed to be a normal, cool product for us. I hope to make chafing something you don't have to whisper about."
Sturino invented Megabage, a deodorant for the thighs to thwart off "chub-rub," and revolutionized an industry. Since launching the famed anti-chafe stick and boob-sweat powder, she's sold out of stock multiple times and has built a community based on honest dialogue around the "embarrassing" body issues women are often shamed for.
The Hair-Discrimination Warriors: Commissioner of the New York City Commission on Human Rights Carmelyn P. Malalis, United States Army CPT. Whennah Andrews, State Senator (D-Calif) Holly Mitchell, and EVP and COO of Beauty and Personal Care at Unilever Esi Eggleston Bracey
"I've always believed that being in the U.S. Army we represent a diverse nation, and I wanted our military to converge to that reality. But there we were, limiting folks from joining. You can look like me and still do your job, and I think that's an amazing recruiting tool." —CPT. Whennah Andrews
Until last year, even the government had restrictions on protective styles like braids and locs for women in the Army. That's finally changing thanks to the collective sisterhood raising their voices to declare this is illegal racial discrimination.

Trader suffers heavy loss due to fireworks during PDM rally in Multan
MULTAN (92 News) – A trader had to pay the price as his gowdown was gutted due to fireworks for the public meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

Senator Faisal Javed said that the PDM set the belongings of a trader on fire for their celebration. "A case should be registered against the responsible people. The government will do what will be necessary for the compensation," he said.
Punjab Minister for Jails Fayyazul Hassan Chohan said that hooliganism was shown in Multan. "A had already told that the opposition will suffer a defeat," he added.
He said that the trader should be provided justice.
On the other hand, PML-N leader Shahid Mahmood rejected the allegations and said that the incident had occurred after the rally. "The loss is regrettable and the matter should be investigated," he added.
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman said that they are collecting information about the incident. "We will cooperate with the traders after the investigations," he added.

A Collaborative Success
Gift Benefits Faculty and Students
When Stephen Clickard, Ph.D., Chair of the Bloomsburg University Music Department, was named as the recipient of the inaugural Jack and Helen Evans Endowed Fellowship in the College of Liberal Arts, he immediately recognized the opportunity to execute a project that he had been planning for some time.
Dr. Clickard approached two students in the Bachelor of Arts: Audio Visual Recording Track to work with him on recording and producing a professional full-length album in the BU music studio of his little big band, The Clickard Consortium. Rebecca Dressler, a senior from Shamokin, PA, and Reed Lehman, a junior from Bloomsburg, PA, both jumped at the chance to get involved.
"The experience we gained throughout this process gave me a lot of confidence with my major and the choice that I made," Dressler said. "I can really see myself doing this as a career and learned what it was like to actually work with clients."
"It looked more like a mountain when we were first presented with the project," Lehman added. "I was excited and nervous at the same time. But to know now that we produced 12 fully mixed tracks that will be released to the public just makes me want to get back in the studio and do more."
Affirming Value
To me, the endowed professorship is about supporting faculty's commitment to students by reinvesting donor generosity in the creation of pivotal learning experiences. Bloomsburg faculty believe that students are our priority because this is, first and foremost, a teaching university.
They Believed in Me
I first heard about Bloomsburg University through a high school visit. Because I was in a work program and left high school early every day, I ended up missing all college admission visits to my school except for one—Bloomsburg. So I applied, and was accepted. I started college and took an introductory sociology course.
A Breakfast Breakthrough
As part of an informal "breakfast club" during his time at Bloomsburg, Michael had conversations with faculty that shaped his life. Later, when he decided he wanted to make a gift to help students like him, he saw an opportunity to stretch his dollars and reach hundreds of students by investing in faculty.
