How To Mix Most Popular Drinks 0
<html>The history of alcoholic drinks can be as blurry as some of the nights consuming them. One fellow, by the name of Jerry Thomas,Dollar Firm, But Will Soften,wholesale nfl t shirts, claimed he was the "Father of Mixology" back in the 1800s when he created drinks like the Tom Collins and possibly the Martini (though the origin of the latter is iffy). But,Cheap NFL T shirts for sale, much like Ray's Pizza and the Cobb salad,Matt Cassel t shirts, there are a lot of claims to the throne. Seeking to clear up our memories of such important matters, John Green of MentalFloss sheds light on the history of 26 of our most precious, well-loved, go-to bar faves. He also haphazardly shows us the beginner's guide to mixing some of them (although you might be better off consulting a proper mixology book). Saddled between Green's sarcasm are some pretty neat facts that'll keep small talk going when you reach that awkward moment in bar conversation when you've finished talking about your job, where you live, and whether you come here often. For example, you can show off how much you know about the you're drinking by informing your companions that it rose to popularity in the United States after the 1964 World's Fair. Go you!

Four Big Data Trends That Change Everything
<html>Over the past few weeks I’ve heard many recipes for what will drive business success and yet firms large and small continue to struggle with how to jumpstart growth. Brilliant speakers at the (run by ) in May and at the and the (WIFNY) both in New York last week provided insights that must translate into action for companies looking for major growth or simply trying to do better.
Some of the most thought provoking ideas came at WIFNY including comments from Ankur Jain, founder and chair of the . He and a few of his colleagues lead a set of student-run businesses that work on the next innovation waves and those we can barely imagine yet. As big data, cloud and mobility ramp up, Mr Jain says “out of the box and into the next box thinking is required”. More on Mr Jain and his Kairos colleagues in future posts.
Rather than be blindsided by new trends, the following are fouractionable insightson what we must exploit to grow.
1. The rise of easy access to cheap analytic tools will require you to rethink your business model.Miniaturization and commoditization of technology will enable you to redesign how, where and how often you capture customer data. You have a choice in this and are not the victim of what data others tell you is available.
A clear example is in healthcare with Remote Personal Monitoring where dozens of new products can enable your doctor to monitor you from afar. Your diagnosis and level of care goes up with thousands of your data points being considered daily via miniature blood glucose meters or wireless cardiovascular monitoring and other devices all connected to your smartphone. Rather than seeing you every few weeks,Wholesale Miami Heat t shirts, your doctor can use analytics for a granular view of what’s best for you and costs go down from the efficiency.Similar examples abound in nearly every industry. How would you redesign your customer interaction if data collection could be put exactly where and when you want it? What could your business do with cheap, powerful processing like the available nearly anywhere you choose?
2. Marketing is transforming from control to collaboration.Simply pushing a message out via traditional print, radio, TV or even internet advertising is fading. There is a growing effectiveness in multi-channel marketing which maps to buying behavior (start comparison shopping on-line on your PC,On PGA Tour, fashion runs according to script, visit the brick and mortar store with your on-line device making you smarter in real time and then finish the transaction at home on your tablet); social media interactions (seeking peer feedback on products); and precision marketing (i.e. location based awareness of the mobile shopper in your store who can be targeted for a promotion in real time).
This is all possible through Big Data driven predictive analytics targeting individual promotions to a market of one. According to PEW Research, 78% of US adults in households with annual incomes of $75,000 and over own smartphones (see ). PEW also tells us that from a May 2012 study. Loyalty360 tells us that and according to Yankee Group simply . So, are you taking advantage of the new shopping model to grow your business?
3. Evolution from “ask” to “listen” market research.It is no longer possible to SHOUT at consumers since they now expect a two way dialog. Focus groups or phone surveys provide directional views on customer reaction but they lack the predictive insight of quantitative approaches.
Focus groups are yielding to the active listening results that come from harvesting millions of on-line customer driven interactions,LeBron James t shirts, processing and correlating that data via algorithms which feed computer visualization to clarify what consumers truly want. Are you investing in the best algorithm? More importantly, are you hiring or developing the skills that triangulate your company’s brand value with the consumer behavior information and the tools to interpret it in order to deliver what a customer really wants?
4. Your product is your research moving forward.The business cycle continues to speed up and economic innovation requires companies to keep pace through reinvention, ruthlessly shutting down poor-performing assets and quickly elevating your new offerings that gain early traction.
Joan Schneider and Julie Hall in an tell us that 75% of consumer packaged goods and retail products fail to earn even $7.5 million during their first year. Jack Trout in “” tells us that 85% of US household needs are addressed by repeat buys of 150 items. So, how do you break in and capture share? Market leaders will use data analysis to conduct controlled experiments which will drive narrower segmentation and tailored offerings. The key is to have just-in-time capabilities to ramp production of winners. This means for critical success a business must use essential information derived from Big Data tools to identify winners and have product development/delivery alignment with marketing’s insights to execute in real-time. Are you prepared to practice creative destruction?
Finally,NBA All Star T Shirts, embed mobility in everything you do. The confusion about mobility and what to do about it is absurd. Phone systems were first deployed to businesses or homes and society accepted that model as the norm. However, no one ever had a goal of calling a building. We always wanted direct access to individuals so the mobility model is actually more like what Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Alexander Graham Bell and others initially had in mind. Technology is just now catching up to a 150 year old vision. It is time for the rest of our systems … and our thinking … to catch up so let’s not be surprised that we need to transform 1980′s capabilities and business processes for the 21st century.
Essential Information is the fulcrum for all of this. Big Data often now accessed in the Cloud enables speed to market and transparency with your customers. This digital disruption must be embraced or your customers will go elsewhere and you’ll be challenged when competing for new ones.

Snowden Documents Show NSA Spied on EU Officials 0
<html>MOSCOW,Spare The Air Alert Issued For Saturday, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - The National Security Agency bugged European Union offices in the United States, Germany s Der Spiegel magazine said on Sunday citing secret documents obtained by whistleblower Edward Snowden that Spiegel has in part seen.
An NSA document, dated 2010, names the European Union a "location target."
The document suggests that in addition to installing bugs in the building in downtown Washington, DC, the EU representation's computer network was also infiltrated. In this way, the Americans were able to access discussions in EU rooms as well as emails and internal documents on computers,Houston Texans t shirts, Der Spiegel wrote in an English-language article.
According to the document, the EU mission to the United Nations was under a similar surveillance.
The information obtained by Der Spiegel also suggests that NSA was behind an electronic eavesdropping operation which apparently targeted the Justus Lipsius Building,Cheap NFL T shirts for sale, home to the EU Council of Ministers and the European Council.
Without citing sources, Der Spiegel says that approximately five years ago European security officials had noticed several telephone calls that were apparently targeting the remote maintenance system in the Justus Lipsius Building.
Security officials managed to track the calls to NATO headquarters in the Brussels suburb of Evere. A precise analysis showed that the attacks on the telecommunications system had originated from a building complex separated from the rest of the NATO headquarters that is used by NSA experts, the magazine said.
Reuters quoted Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament,Cheap NFL T shirts, as saying that if the report was correct, it would have a "severe impact" on relations between the EU and the United States.
"On behalf of the European Parliament, I demand full clarification and require further information speedily from the U.S. authorities with regard to these allegations," he said in an emailed statement.
