1.Now is the right time to deliver a new conversation experience focused on human interactions rather than technology. Conversations are no longer limited to voice and text. They occur in the form of a video call, clicking “like” and “share” buttons on the Internet or a social network status update or posting on Facebook or Twitter.
The new conversation experience provides a unified experience across devices, screens, applications and networks. People can easily connect and share when, where and how it’s best for them — without thinking about the technology they’re using or who’s providing it. And the service provider is ideally placed to make this a service for which users are willing to pay.
Today, technology drives our conversation experience. It’s time to turn that around and let the user experience drive technology. With this approach, service providers can deliver a new conversation experience: one that encourages customers to use more services, spend more time on the network and leverages network intelligence to deliver a user experience that application and content providers (ACPs) struggle to achieve.

2.Service providers that successfully execute on new go-to-market strategies for converged services can gain new revenue streams and more efficient, leaner operations. They will benefit from third-party innovation, customer-centric strategies and new channels to market. Longer term, they will enjoy enhanced brand value and increased competitive differentiation, leading to sustained benefits for service providers and their shareholders.
To help ensure success: Set realistic goals. Don’t be afraid to fail. Lean on partners. Be flexible. Share risk. Focus on customers.

" Chi Onwurah MP Shadow minister for innovation and science"
1.May be in Latvia and India there isn’t the near obsessional fixation with climate change (the real one not the one alluded to in this article), carbon counting and cutting back (both in terms of consumption of ‘stuff’ and financially). It’s not the whole story, but when big bold engineering projects in the UK are not really on the agenda – compared with China especially – and the smaller ones exist with a back drop that it was engineering and ambition and creating a bigger human foot print that caused the (supposed) mess we are in, then low (physical) impact and service type jobs such as marketing, law, design, heathcare, HR and even IT seem more respectable.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with those jobs but when remaking the world through engineering - even if it goes against the grain of nature – is seen as slightly dodgy – then the perception maybe that engineering is no longer as noble a profession as it was,, so young people in general (and the potential expansion of the profession by young women) find it easy to be attracted to activities that go along with what is seen as nature – or fate - rather than the old (largely) masculine trait of attempting to dominate nature.

Fantastic how women are doing. Its a pity that women have the monopoly on our greatest assets .... our children .... who are now dumped on others to bring up because women are out fighting for equality.
2.In the bad old days engineering needed a lot more muscle power than it does now (at least in most cases) and i believe that this was the root cause of it being a male dominated profession.
Now it's not the case and we are losing a wealth of talent by not encouraging women to become engineers.
It's not surprising that engineering in the UK doesn't have the same status as accounting, the law and medicine. Most people think an engineer is someone who mends cars and washing machines.
Not intending to be critical of the men who do these jobs, a lot of them probably earn more than us.

"When you're losing weight, where does the fat go?"" Paulson: China Should Move Faster on Yuan"
1.After losing more pounds, she joined the gym, started dancing in Zumba classes. Then she started jogging.
During her senior year of high school, an adviser at the pep club suggested Boyce try for the title of Miss West Florence, the school's equivalent of a beauty pageant. At first, Boyce laughed it off.
"I was not thin," she said. "I was still chubby, losing weight gradually."
But Boyce gave it a shot.
"I was myself and I won," beating 38 other girls, she said. "That gave me another confidence boost knowing that I could do what I set my mind to."
After graduating in 2007, she went to study theater at Francis Marion University. She competed for the local Miss Florence title and began a winning streak in local beauty pageants until she finally won the state crown in July.
Through the years, Boyce had to unlearn a lifetime of bad habits.
"It's all about learning a process, learning a lifestyle, and so many people think it's an overnight quick fix. And it absolutely is not. It takes time. It took me three years," she said.
Boyce, who couldn't finish a mile in under 11 minutes in high school, can now run that distance in seven minutes. She plans to train for her first marathon once she has time after the Miss America contest.
"You don't have to be rail thin to think you're beautiful and want to be Miss America," she said. "You need to be happy and content with yourself, get your physical activity. That's what counts the most -- not starvation diets and being rail thin."
Boyce meticulously schedules workouts and meals to prepare for Miss America. On a recent day, she cooked breakfast at home in Florence, scrambling eggs and slicing a grapefruit.
"I block out where am I going to eat, how am I going to eat that day," she said.
In the pageant world, where a woman's frame and figure are constantly analyzed, Boyce has heard the critiques: too muscular, too big, not petite enough, not a size 00.

"I love my body," Boyce said. "I went from 234 pounds to being comfortable and happy and being content with the way I look. Someone says I'm not a 00 -- that doesn't mean I don't continue to compete for Miss America. We need to give an idealistic role model."
She said she'd rather be on stage looking the way she does now than looking "sick, frail and thin. That's not the message that I'm promoting at all."
2.China should embrace a faster appreciation of its currency but U.S. policy makers should be wary of taking punitive actions to force the issue, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Tuesday.
Paulson, speaking during an appearance in Washington, said the U.S. and China could both benefit from Beijing taking on much-needed structural changes to its financial markets. (Read the full speech)
“I believe … very strongly that it is in China’s best interest to reform and move to a market-determined currency that reflects economic conditions,” Paulson said.
He was critical, however, of ongoing efforts in Congress to pressure China to allow its currency, the yuan, to appreciate at a faster pace. The Senate in recent weeks passed a measure allowing U.S. officials to target Beijing’s currency policy through trade penalties and various international organizations.
“I don’t think that an approach that could lead to a trade war … is the right way to go,” Paulson said.

Disarm your inner critic with this Jedi mind trick ， TSA deploys 'VIPR' teams throughout Tennessee to set up illegal security checkpoints on interstates
1.The Jedi know better than to fight against criticism, as there are better approaches to verbal attacks, especially when they originate from inner voices that have strayed to the dark side. In fact, a properly trained Jedi understands that there are as many tricks as there are problems, for every problem has an underlying structure that holds it in place. When you know how to deconstruct it, the problem unravels right before your mind.
Here is a mind trick to disarm your inner critic and set yourself free.
First, beware of giving in to hatred of the inner critic or defending yourself. This will only cause greater conflict and bind you to the negativity within. There is good in you! I can feel it. Believe in that goodness more than your inner critic believes in darkness! The inner critic is you and you are its master, even if the critical voice sounds strangely like your father. Embrace it and bring it into the light. This is the source of incredible transformative power.
2.When the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced last year that it would soon begin setting up security checkpoints in places other than just airports, it definitely was not joking. News Channel 5 in Nashville, Tenn., has announced that Tennessee is the official inaugural state for the launch of TSA's new Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, which will be setting up security checkpoints along interstates to conduct random (illegal) searches of vehicles.
TSA set up one of its first VIPR checkpoints in Tampa, Fla., last December after announcing to the world its plans to expand illegal searches to all aspects of American life. Presumably a test to see how the public would respond. VIPR teams groped and patted down passengers at a local Greyhound bus station, and they even brought in sniff dogs to add an extra layer of intimidation.And now an entire state has succumbed to the encroachment of the illegitimate US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its unlawful violations of the Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments to the US Constitution. VIPR teams have already been deployed to five truck weigh stations and two bus stations across Tennessee, with more soon to come.
Random security checkpoints, perpetual paranoia about terrorists around every corner, a rogue government that is pressing citizens to spy on each other and report their activities to authorities -- these are all protocols that took effect in Nazi Germany during the rise of Hitler, and they are all protocols that are now in effect in the US today. Think about it.

1.A reader asks, "Mike, I recently ran across a book titled 'The Calcium Factor,' authored by Robert Barefoot. He extols the almost miraculous healing powers of calcium, especially coral calcium. And I would like to know what you think about this. The fact that Bob Barefoot seems to have significant financial interest in the promotion of coral calcium causes me to regard with caution research and testimonials and his strong endorsement of coral calcium. Also, if one is supplementing with whole food supplements such as Alive or Juice Plus, is it also necessary to supplement with calcium and other vitamins and minerals?"
Well, first off, I want to applaud you for remaining skeptical of the health claims described in the book, "The Calcium Factor," not because of whether or not they are true, but because the person authoring the book has a significant financial interest in your purchasing calcium.
As you know, I never have a financial interest in the products that I recommend or review on this website. And, I think it is a great conflict of interest for anyone to both write about a nutritional supplement and sell that same nutritional supplement. It doesn't mean that they're wrong. It just means that their information must be taken in context.
I encourage you and other readers to live day-to-day with that kind of skepticism. We should all be skeptics of people who are trying to sell us products, especially if it's drugs or herbs or vitamins, because anything can have an element of hype or exaggeration to it. Just because someone is offering something that seems to be a natural vitamin or mineral supplement doesn't mean it's not being over-hyped.
In fact, there are many hucksters and con artists in the nutritional supplement industry, just as there are in the pharmaceutical industry. So, my position has never been that all nutritional supplements are good and that all pharmaceuticals are bad. It's just that if you're looking for what's truly healthy you're only going to find them from the natural world and never from the world of manufactured, synthesized drugs.
The category of nutritional supplements is definitely where you're going to find those supplemental products that enhance health rather than harming your health in the way that patent medications do. But, getting back to the question of calcium and more specifically, coral calcium, the fact is that Bob Barefoot is very much right about almost everything he says about calcium, but only for those people who are calcium deficient. In other words, the healing powers of calcium are indeed miraculous if you don't have enough calcium, because calcium is so intimately involved in human physiology that a lack of calcium has terrible systemic effects.
Most people tend to think of calcium as only having one purpose, and that is supporting bone health. And certainly, calcium is critical for having good bone density, but calcium is also critical for your nervous system and nerve function, which makes it essential for cardiovascular health. In other words, if you don't have enough calcium, your heart cannot contract in the way it is supposed to. Your brain will not function in as healthy a manner as it could if you had plenty of calcium. Your acid-alkaline balance may be disrupted without calcium. Your immune system function may be off. And certainly, your skeletal system is going to be affected, as well.
There are many systems in the body that need calcium. And, to a person who is calcium deficient, the addition of supplementary calcium can indeed seem quite miraculous. So, there's nothing incorrect about stating that calcium is a miraculous supplement. In fact, I think the human body is a living, breathing miracle all by itself. And the way that nature works is a miracle. So, there is nothing incorrect about using the term "miraculous" to describe the healing effects of some nutritional supplements.
The question becomes: How many people are calcium deficient? That is truly the relevant question in here, because if most of the population had sufficient quantities of calcium, then the claims made by Bob Barefoot on the benefits of calcium might be considered to be exaggerated. On the other hand, if the population were largely calcium deficient, then the claims describing the health benefits of calcium would have much broader application, and would be considered far more accurate.

2.Mike: I'm here with Dr. Lindsey Duncan, the founder and CEO of Genesis Today. Thanks for taking a few minutes to sit down and share your thoughts.
Dr. Duncan: Absolutely.
Mike: Can you give people an overview of what's unique about your cleansing products, a little bit about your history and the experience and wisdom you bring to this new line of products?
Dr. Duncan: Sure. I studied with Dr. Bernard Jensen for seven and a half years. He was kind of known as the father of cleansing. He was helping people heal their bodies through cleansing in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. He was really one of the pioneers. I studied with him for seven and a half years, and I learned the deep, deep intricacies of how to cleanse the body. My background is I built up a nutrition clinic called the Home Nutrition Clinics, where I accumulated over 40,000 clinical hours helping people heal their bodies. One of the many things that I used to help them heal was the power of this rudimentary, fundamental technique called internal cleansing. And there are different ways you can cleanse: the right way or the wrong way. A lot of times people cleanse the wrong way.
Mike: So what's the wrong way, and then how do your products approach it from the right way?
Dr. Duncan:Well, the wrong way to cleanse is to cleanse in a harsh way, by overstimulating the bowel, by fasting or depleting the body and not doing it properly. Fasting is good, but if you don't do it properly, and if you don't put the nutrients back in the body, then the body will become depleted. Many people who cleanse become deficient in chi or in heat, and they don't realize what's happening. They overcleanse. A lot of times, cleansing products that are on the market will use things like magnesium hydroxide to cleanse the body. They don't realize that magnesium hydroxide is milk of magnesia. It's the same ingredient that's in Tums, Milk of Magnesia and many laxatives. That's not the right way to cleanse the body.
Mike: So just because you're spending two hours of the day on the toilet doesn't mean you're getting a cleanse.
Dr. Duncan:You're exactly right. And because you're spending two hours a day on the toilet, it may mean that you could be damaging your body. So again, going back, cleansing is critical to healing. It's undoing the past. The Genesis Today method and technique for cleansing is to offer the body 100 percent natural ingredients. Herbal ingredients. No synthetics and no chemicals. Even the capsules are vegetarian. And all 52 ingredients in our cleanser, the 4 Total Cleanse, have one main objective: to give the body the materials that it needs to facilitate its own cleansing.
Mike: This is not declaring war on the body and trying to take over cleansing. This is supporting the cleanse.

Wal-Mart's Past Infractions in Chinese City Called Minor , Soul-searching in China after toddler in hit-run dies
In their public statements, local authorities have stressed that Wal-Mart had a record of food-safety and other violations stretching back years. In an interview, Tang Chuan, director of law enforcement at the Bureau of Inspection and Enforcement in Chongqing, said the 21 violations since 2006 were minor, with infractions such as selling substandard lemon candy and expired sesame porridge.
Chongqing authorities fined Wal-Mart 300,000 yuan, or about $47,000, for selling expired duck meat in March. Other infractions include falsely advertised silk blankets, substandard shredded cabbage and substandard honey.
"Past issues were small, involving one or two stores, but this time the problem was different," Mr. Tang said. "It was widespread and highly deceptive."
Wal-Mart spokesman Anthony Rose declined to comment, saying only that the company is cooperating with local authorities.
All 13 of Wal-Mart's Chongqing stores have been closed, while two employees were arrested and 35 were detained at one point by local authorities. Officials alleged this month that the company fraudulently sold ordinary pork as more expensive organic pork. It also faces a 3.65 million yuan ($572,000) fine. The scrutiny has resulted in a big public-relations hit to the company in China.
On Monday, Wal-Mart said its China president and chief executive, Ed Chan, resigned for personal reasons.
The Chongqing municipal government has cited the infractions found by Mr. Tang's bureau as a reason it cracked down on the Bentonville, Ark., retailer, ordering an investigation and the detentions.
Wal-Mart's punishment is considered by many China watchers to be unprecedented, considering the alleged wrongdoings didn't result in the death or physical harm of consumers. It comes as China's consumers grow increasingly worried about food safety amid a spate of food scandals, including a 2008 tainted-milk scandal that led to the deaths of at least six children and caused illnesses in nearly 300,000 others.
[CWALMART]
Chongqing's Public Security Bureau, the equivalent of the local police, is leading continuing investigations. A spokesman for the bureau declined to comment.
Wal-Mart's oversight of store managers has led to problems, Mr. Tang said, noting that eight of the 21 infractions occurred at Wal-Mart's store in Chongqing's Jiulong area. The two employees arrested worked at that location, officials have said.
Mr. Tang said he suspects that Wal-Mart executives were aware of its alleged pork mislabeling before the bureau informed the retailer. "Wal-Mart has a very advanced data-collection system," Mr. Tang said. "There would have to have been a severely large loophole in its management."
BEIJING — A toddler who was run over by vans twice and then ignored by passersby on a busy market street died Friday — a week after the accident and after days of bitter soul-searching over declining morality in China.
Two-year-old Wang Yue died shortly after midnight of brain and organ failure, the Guangzhou Military District General Hospital said.
“Her injuries were too severe and the treatment had no effect,” intensive care unit director Su Lei told reporters.
The plight of the child, nicknamed Yueyue, came to symbolize what many Chinese see as a decay in public morals after heady decades of economic growth and rising prosperity.
Gruesome closed-circuit camera video of last Thursday’s accident, aired on television and posted on the Internet, showed Yueyue toddling along the hardware market street in the southern city of Foshan. A van strikes her, slows and then resumes driving, rolling its back right wheel over the child. As she lays with blood pooling, 18 people walk or cycle by and another van strikes her before a scrap picker scoops her up.
Yueyue’s death touched off another round of hand-wringing about society and personal responsibility. Many comments posted to social media sites said “we are all passersby.”
Li Xiangping, a professor of religion at Huadong University, said on a Twitter-like service that it is too easy to blame others.
“What after all prompted such a sad phenomenon? Officials? The rich? Or is it our own cold-heartedness?” Li said on Sina Corp.’s Weibo.
Police have detained the drivers of both vans on suspicion of causing a traffic accident but have not said what formal charges they would face — and if manslaughter could be the charge now that the girl has died.
The people who could be seen on the video passing by the injured Yueyue have recounted being harassed for ignoring her. The respected Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper quoted a man it identified only as Mr. Chen, a hardware merchant, saying that he had been receiving crank calls ever since someone picked him out as the 16th passerby. He said he hadn’t noticed the child.
Some experts said an unwillingness to help others is an outgrowth of urbanization as migrants pour into cities and create neighborhoods of strangers.
“Rapid urbanization not only affects China or Foshan, but anywhere in the world where you have a lot of high-rise buildings, where there is high population density, then the relationship with the neighbors, and with each other is affected,” said Yao Yue, a psychologist and director of telephone help-line for distressed people in Beijing.

Chongqing authorities fined Wal-Mart 300,000 yuan, or about $47,000, for selling expired duck meat in March. Other infractions include falsely advertised silk blankets, substandard shredded cabbage and substandard honey.
"Past issues were small, involving one or two stores, but this time the problem was different," Mr. Tang said. "It was widespread and highly deceptive."
Wal-Mart spokesman Anthony Rose declined to comment, saying only that the company is cooperating with local authorities.
All 13 of Wal-Mart's Chongqing stores have been closed, while two employees were arrested and 35 were detained at one point by local authorities. Officials alleged this month that the company fraudulently sold ordinary pork as more expensive organic pork. It also faces a 3.65 million yuan ($572,000) fine. The scrutiny has resulted in a big public-relations hit to the company in China.
On Monday, Wal-Mart said its China president and chief executive, Ed Chan, resigned for personal reasons.
The Chongqing municipal government has cited the infractions found by Mr. Tang's bureau as a reason it cracked down on the Bentonville, Ark., retailer, ordering an investigation and the detentions.
Wal-Mart's punishment is considered by many China watchers to be unprecedented, considering the alleged wrongdoings didn't result in the death or physical harm of consumers. It comes as China's consumers grow increasingly worried about food safety amid a spate of food scandals, including a 2008 tainted-milk scandal that led to the deaths of at least six children and caused illnesses in nearly 300,000 others.
