James Tiberius Burns
Biography James Tiberius Burns (born on March 22, 1980) is a well known local luminary in the Central Coast region of the Australian state of New South Wales. Highly respected within the community for his work with orphans, fund-raising for various charitable causes and his sporting and intellectual prowess, it is widely thought that his role in the revitalizing of the Central Coast has had a profound impact on many lives within the region.

Controversy Burns caused a stir in local circles in December 2003 when he initiated proceedings against several local councils for not providing adequate recreational facilities for children in the states orphanages. After substantial media coverage of the campaign, the matter was settled out of court, with several new parks and recreational facilities planned as a result.

Trivia -Shares the same birth date as his idol, William Shatner.

Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic
The Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic is a procedure intended to minimize the makespan in a job shop. It is intended for job shops with a finite number of jobs and a finite number of machines. The makespan of a job shop is defined as the time when the last job leaves the system.

The Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic is used for job shops that have precedence constraints for the order that the machines must be used for each job. The processing time of each job on each respective machine is given. It should be assumed that only one job can be performed on each respective machine at any given time. Job j being performed on machine i is denoted ij. The objective is to determine the schedule that will produce the shortest makespan.

The first step is to draw out the precedence constraints on a graph. For each node on the graph, the first number represents the job being performed and the second number represents what machine is being used. At this point, the throughput time of each job should be calculated by adding up the processing times that the job takes on each of the machines. After the throughput time for each job has been calculated, the makespan for the system is determined by the longest throughput time for the jobs.

The next step is to determine which machine is currently our bottleneck. This is done by considering the production time, denoted pij, that each job takes on each respective machine, the release time of each job on each respective machine, and the due date of each job for each respective machine. The release time, denoted rij, is determined by adding up the processing times of all of the jobs that have to be performed on the machine before the respective job can be performed. The due date, denoted dij, is determined by subtracting the processing times of the jobs proceeding the job on the respective machine from the makespan. Once all of this is determined, the minimum lateness for each machine needs to be determined. This is accomplished by finding the path for the each machine that reduces the maximum lateness that is seen for all jobs on the respective machine. Once the maximum lateness is determined for each of the respective machines, the machine with the largest maximum lateness is our bottleneck. If there is no maximum lateness on any of the machines we are finished and one can draw all of the machines’ optimal sequences in the job diagram. If there are two machines with the same maximum lateness, either one can be chosen for the bottleneck. All of this work is considered the first iteration.

Once the bottleneck has been determined, the path for the machine needs to be included in the drawing of jobs. This new path can be considered the disjunctive constraints and they need to be taken into consideration when determining the new makespan. The new makespan will be the old makespan plus the maximum lateness of the machine determined to be the bottleneck.

The next step is to perform a new analysis for each of the remaining machines. The differences now are there is a new makespan, and the precedence constraints need to be considered as well as the disjunctive constraints when determining the release date of each job on the machine. The longest path to get to the respective job, coming from comparing the processing times of the preceding jobs for disjunctive constraints and precedence constraints, will be the new release date. The due dates will be the time that the given job can be finished on the respective machine and still have enough time to finish the job on the proceeding machines within the makespan. The proceeding jobs are known from the precedence constraints. This is considered the second iteration.

Again, determine which machine is our new bottleneck. The new makespan is the old makespan plus the maximum lateness from the new bottleneck. Again, if the maximum lateness on all machines is zero then use all the paths for our disjunctive constraints on the drawing and the makespan is still the same as it was before. Keep repeating this process until all machines have been accounted for or the maximum lateness is zero on all respective machines. Each time the process is repeated, it is considered an iteration. We draw all of the disjunctive constraints on our job and machine diagram.

At this point the shifting bottleneck heuristic is complete. The drawing should now include all precedence constraints and all disjunctive constraints. The final makespan is the original makespan plus all of the maximum latenesses from each of the respective bottlenecks. It is the lowest amount of time needed complete all of the jobs given these machine and precedence constraints.

Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic
The Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic is a procedure intended to minimize the makespan in a job shop. It is intended for job shops with a finite number of jobs and a finite number of machines. The makespan of a job shop is defined as the time when the last job leaves the system.

Uses
The Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic is used for job shops that have precedence constraints for the order that the machines must be used for each job. These job shops with multiple machines are considered NP-hard. The processing time of each job on each respective machine is given. It should be assumed that only one job can be performed on each respective machine at any given time. Job j being performed on machine i is denoted ij. The objective is to determine the schedule that will produce the shortest makespan.

Procedure
The first step is to draw out the precedence constraints on a graph. For each node on the graph, the first number represents the job being performed and the second number represents what machine is being used. At this point, the throughput time of each job should be calculated by adding up the processing times that the job takes on each of the machines.

A Grey Hat in the computer security community, refers to a skilled hacker who sometimes acts legally, sometimes in good will, and sometimes not. They are a hybrid between White and Black Hat hackers. They usually do not hack for personal gain or have malicious intentions, but may or may not occasionally commit crimes during the course of their technological exploits.

Disambiguation
One reason a Grey Hat might consider himself to be grey is to disambiguate from the other two extremes: black and white. It might be a little misleading to say that Grey Hat hackers do not hack for personal gain. While they do not necessarily hack for malicious purposes, Grey Hats do hack for a reason, a reason which more often than not remains undisclosed. A Grey Hat will not necessarily notify the system admin of a penetrated system of their penetration. Such a hacker will prefer anonymity at almost all cost, carrying out their penetration undetected and then exiting said system still undetected with minimal damages. Consequently, Grey Hat penetrations of systems tend to be for far more passive activities such as testing, monitoring, or less destructive forms of data transfer and retrieval.

A person who breaks into a computer system and simply puts their name there whilst doing no damage (such as in wargaming - see) can also be classified as a Grey Hat.

Trudy
Alice sets up a site for Bob on a server run by Isaac. Isaac's server is on a network with Trudy. Unknown to Isaac, his server has a security flaw. Trudy finds the flaw and uses it to monitor Bob's site, because his server runs a different OS and she wants to find out how it's configured. But Isaac has had problems with Mallory. Mallory finds the flaw and uses it to gain access to the server. Mallory then uploads a complex logic bomb that would fry Isaac's server in three days.

Trudy catches Mallory uploading the doom-code. She waits until Mallory leaves then proceeds to remove the logic bomb so that she can continue to learn how the server was configured.

Arga Unga Hackare vs Antipiratbyrån
In 2006, a Swedish ISP was raided and servers were seized that contained torrent files which provided users the ability to download warez (illegal software) and some legitimate content. This move was applauded by the international media industry, such as the MPAA.

A few days later, a Swedish hacker group known as AUH (Arga Unga Hackare, translates to "Angry Young Hackers") defaced the website of Antipiratbyrån (Anti-Piracy Bureau), Sweden's biggest organisation working to stop piracy. Arga Unga Hackare is generally regarded as a group of Black Hats. However, in this case, it may be argued that this particular action was grey.

The defacement was unusual, because AUH published information which became the basis for a nationwide discussion regarding the abuse of Swedish legal resources, and possibly criminal acts supervised by international anti-piracy industry. The servers of the raided ISP were found containing warez, but as AUH was hacking Antipiratbyrån, they found evidence in the form of private emails that showed that Antipiratbyrån had used an infiltrator to put the illegal software on the ISP's servers. The infiltrator worked under the nickname Rouge or Rogue, but AUH identified him with real name, address, and Swedish personal identification number. He was shown to be wanted by Swedish authorities for criminal acts. AUH also published e-mails that loosely linked international anti-piracy agencies to these actions, but the e-mails did not show to which extent the case was known outside of Sweden.

In the next few days, other sources provided evidence that strongly suggested that:
 * Antipiratbyrån funded the warez servers, making Antipiratbyrån the source of the illegal software - not the ISP.
 * Antipiratbyrån knew that the ISP owners were not aware that the servers were being used for warez.
 * Antipiratbyrån put effort into moving the warez servers from a former location to the raided ISP, because the raided ISP had a very good bandwidth (high speed internet connection).
 * Antipiratbyrån had been able to influence the legal system into not following proper procedures: the raided ISP owners were not interviewed by a judge before the raid. The raid was needlessly intrusive and caused downtime to critical infrastructure for systems which did not serve illegal content. The Antipiratbyrån staff had supervised and instructed Swedish authorities on place what to do.
 * Antipiratbyrån's hurry to raid the ISP may have been initiated by the fact that the ISP had performed an inventory just before the raid, in which the warez servers had been notified as unknown servers to be investigated.

The credibility of Antipiratbyrån was badly injured, and they did not deny the allegations. Eventually, Antipiratbyrån and the ISP reached a settlement, and did not publicly debate the incident further.

So, Black Hat tactics and skills were used by AUH. However, they were used to unravel what many consider to be an unethical and criminal conspiracy, which possibly had international ties. These are typically grey shades of ethics; while the methods employed by AUH can be considered unacceptable and unethical, they were used to uncover even more unethical and possibly criminal actions on the part of Antipiratbyrån.

The current website of Antipiratbyrån is located at http://www.antipiratbyran.com/.

Matthew Lee Bishop
Matthew Lee Bishop now going only as Matthew Lee (born October 28, 1984, in Titusville, Florida) is a producer/engineer and well rounded musician, but is probably best known as the owner of Blasted Records the largest and fastest growing record label out of the gulf coast.

Before becoming a touring musician, Lee spent his early years growing up in Gardena County, Los Angeles, CA. Adopted by his grandparents at an early age gave him quite an extensive family line, His mother, who is his grandmother by blood, had 3 children of her own and worked many clerical jobs. Lee's Father who's relation is strictly by adoption and marriage brings 4 children of his own into the mix, and was both a Air Force Retired Master Sgt. and an Engineer for NASA/Hughes Air Craft. After his father retired from Hughes, the family moved the family to Niceville, Florida, where Lee attended Rockey Bayou Christian School, Ruckel Middle School, and Nicevill high school. While in Florida, Lee, started using music to get through the many aspects of growing up. Throughout his freshman year of highschool, Lee began forming bands. starting with a pop punk band called Gilt which only lasted a few months and moving on to Blank Contract, and eventually settling with PullTaB, which grew to be one of the largest Pop-Punk bands in the Niceville area. PullTaB was together for an entire year released a 6 song split EP and sold out of every copy, It was during this time that Lee started to gain interest in the business aspect of music, and become known throughout the southeast.

At age 16 Lee started 1318 Productions in conjunction with friends and band members in order to both help promote PullTaB as well as build a better music scene and help other struggling bands. Lee and his friends built a stage in the basement area of his fathers house and started having concerts two to three times a week at his own house. Many touring bands came through and alot of people will tell you that at 1318 house shows is the place where they first saw live music. It was also in this house that many bands were given the opportunity to practice and build their craft, one of the most notable being Forever Changed, which Lee played drums with on many occasions while they were writing songs or just playing music for fun. In 2002 1318 Productions was officially renamed Blasted Records, with help from his family, Lee began working hard to make his label grow, signing several local and regional bands and just helping promote and guide them as he had learned on his own.

At age 18 and after several other musical endeavors Lee was given the chance to join AgnostA the most popular band in the area at the time. After one try-out with the band Lee became the official drummer for AgnostiA. In January of 2003 Lee left highschool to focus on the band and touring. Finishing his first major tour with the band in July, he returned to Niceville more excited about music than ever before, but two weeks after his return AgnostiA came to an end. with the breakup of his dream band he decided to start working hard on Blasted Records again quickly signing Bitter Dominion(one of the new local favorites) changing their name to Antaeus and filling in on Bass until December, where he decided that being stuck in Niceville just wasn't for him. First thing January 2004, Lee grabbed his acoustic guitar, and a small amp and hit the road, touring for almost 90 days hitting as much of the U.S. as possible. Until he received the phonecall he'd been waiting for. Peter Armstrong the guitarist from AgnostiA had moved to Atlanta, trying to get things ready for a new band idea and wanted to have Lee right there with him on Bass.

Putting Blasted Records and the rest of his life on hold he quickly headed home packing his things and heading to Atlanta, Lee arrived in May of 2004 and began writing songs with his friends. It wasn't a month later that the band had finalized upon the name Vis Vires, and headed to Navarre, FL to record their 3 song E.P. with a grueling practice schedule of 4 hrs a day 5 days a week,  the band set out in July of 2004 on an extensive set of touring covering the entire southeast region and building a very strong fanbase. After almost 5 months of regional touring Vis Vires went into Ledbelly Sound Studio with Producer Matt Washburn, it was here that Lee decided that he would never leave the music industry. They finished their first Full Length album titled "Inside The Hate" Lee reopened Blasted Records just to release the album, which is currently still being sold online in Interpunk.com. Due to the noteriety of Vis Vires, Lee started becoming known as a strong artist management person as well as label owner, signing more bands to his label like The Sensory. [|left|160px|thumb|Lee performing at End of the Line Cafe in Pensacola 2004 with Vis Vires]

Sadly however Vis Vires came to an abrupt end in August of 2005, and Lee packed up his things and headed back to Niceville in hopes of creating a band of his own and hitting the road full time.

Since that time, Lee continued expanding Blasted Records, signing more artists like These Words Are Water and Lucy as well as gaining more recognition amongst the industry. Lee also began putting everything he learned in the recording studios in Atlanta to use by opening Blasted Recording Studio. Lee also continued writing songs and auditioning members for his own band which he named The Martyr, however because of lack of dedication, The Martyr slowly fell apart. September of 2006, These Words Are Water whome he had signed to Blasted the previous year suddenly began looking for a new drummer. Lee though long and hard and finally asked to audition for the position, at the end of his first practice with the band he became an official member of These Words Are Water and finally felt back at home with music.

Lee is currently touring with These Words Are Water and running his record label Blasted Records. Married to Betty Lou Taylor May of 2006, They have one son Logan Alix Lee and are living in Niceville with plans of staying in the area. You can find These Words Are Water online at thesewordsarewater.com and myspace.com/thesewordsarewater.

Brick Day (eccentric holiday) 15th of October
The Legend of Brick Day

On October 15, 1879, Ezekiel Fairweather decided to give up his masonry business in Tuscon. He gazed out over his stock of bricks, neatly stacked in cubic yards, and mournfully repeated the word that proved his undoing: adobe.. adobe.. adobe.

No one wanted his quality English brickwork in the burgeoning Southwest, preferring the indigenous form of masonry in the area. Having put all his money into establishing his brick factory, he had lost everything. So, he did what any sane man would do in the same situation — he headed for a saloon and commenced to get drunk. He walked in and sat down, pathetically clutching one of his bricks to his chest like a parson holding the Good Book. He set the brick down on the bar and ordered a drink.

"Well there pardner," said the jovial bartender, "whachew got that brick fer?"

Fairweather took in a deep breath, slowly lowered his glass, and said, "It's Brick Day, fuckface."

Brick Day is celebrated annually on October 15 by calling in too sick to work, going to a bar, and drinking all day. Faithful celebrants (as opposed to shiftless drunks) are recognized by the brick sitting on the bar next to, or under, their beer (and a cheap beer, this is the East Bay Punk Scene, not some nancy CAMRA session). The headquarters for Brick Day celebrations is the venerable Oakland dive bar and cultural institution, the Stork Club.

How to Celebrate Brick Day

1. Sleep in late.

2. Call in sick to work. (If you don't have a job, call someplace you might work, and let them know you won't be in.)

3. Get a brick, maybe two (see below).

4. Find a good dive bar, someplace with draught beer on special during daylight hours.

5. When you order your first beer, set your brick on the bar.

6. If the bartender asks you why you have a brick, give him the ritual response, "it's Brick Day, and you should have one too".

7. If the bartender or anyone else at the bar doesn't know about Brick Day, give him a brick (if you brought an extra) and explain the Legend of Brick Day (proselytize for the cause).

8. Drink yer beer. Have another, it's Brick Day. (If there is another weekday following Brick Day, go to work hungover, or DON'T GO TO WORK AT ALL.)

Markedsføring: Det psykologiske
Hvorfor markedsføre? ..det psykologiske

Mange vil spørre hvorfor bedrifter bruker enorme summer på reklame og markedsføring. Reklame er et meget effektivt virkemiddel for å påvirke forbrukerne og deres valg i kjøpsprosessen. Mye av dette skjer i under-bevisstheten, og her kommer psykologiske aspekter frem i lyset. I boken Forbrukermarkedsføring nevnes blant annet den kjente psykologen Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939), som mente at menneskenes handlinger i stor grad skjer ubevisst. Gjennom persepsjon (evnen til å oppfatte ting gjennom sansene) vil mennesket gjøre sine valg. Når man ser en bestemt figur, logo, farge, et bilde, eller lukter en spesiell lukt, vil det vekke bestemte assosiasjoner og påvirke forbrukerens valg.

Mange påstår at de ikke lar seg påvirke av reklame, men det er nok galt, for det meste skjer i underbevisstheten, noe som er vanskelig å styre. Underbevisstheten kan styre handlingene, og dermed også eksempelvis et kjøp. Dette er virkemidler og aspekter som profesjonelle markedsførere selvfølgelig vet om, og også bruker aktivt. Man prøver å skape en positiv og hyggelig assosiasjon rundt produktet, slik at forbrukerne vil kjøpe produktet når de får assosiasjonen fra reklamen mens de går i butikken, eksempelvis når man kjenner igjen logoen til et visst produkt. Andre eksempler kan være matlysten man får hvis man lukter lukten av god mat, eller hvor tørst man blir hvis man tenker på den iskalde brusen som var i reklamen dagen før.

Et veldig godt eksempel på dette fenomenet opplevde jeg personlig for en liten stund tilbake, da jeg kjente igjen en veldig spesiell lukt som minnet meg sterkt om en vaniljepudding som jeg pleide å få som liten gutt. Dette gjorde at jeg fikk lyst på nettopp denne vaniljepuddingen. Men hvorfor? Nettopp på grunn av persepsjon. Man skaper visse assosiasjoner og stemninger rundt forskjellige produkter, og når disse vekkes til live igjen i visse situasjoner vil det føre til at man muligens kjøper produktet.

Når man for eksempel har hatt en god erfaring med et produkt og har plassert produktet i bevisstheten, vil man ofte foreta et gjenkjøp når vi ser produktet igjen. Vi tenker for eksempel: ”Ah, denne var god! Vi kjøper det en gang til.”

I mitt eksempel ville jeg antakeligvis ha kjøpt vanlijepuddingen om den hadde vært tilgjenglig på akkurat det tidspunktet.

Eksempel dagligvare

Persepsjonen er særdeles effektiv, og det er ingen sjeldenhet at vi til og med forestiller oss lukt, smak og utseende selv om den ikke er til stedet akkurat da. Når vi beskuer en forpakningen til et produkt forestiller vi oss hvordan det smaker og/eller lukter når det er ferdig. Vi får sanseinntrykk som påvirker oss og våre valg, og dette kan i aller høyeste grad styre et eventuelt (gjen)kjøp.

Det lekre bildet av en rykende fersk og perfekt tilberedt tomatsuppe er et sanseinntrykk som igjen får mange andre sanser til å sette i gang. Vi blir sultne, det ser godt ut, vi forestiller oss stemningen og smaken rundt produktet, osv..

Posisjonering og metaverdi som maktfaktor

Hva er posisjonering ? I boken ”Markedsføring 2” (Bedriftsøkonomenes Forlag Oslo 1993) defineres posisjonering slik:

”Posisjonering vil si å plassere produktet/bedriften i kundens bevissthet på det aktuelle segmentet slik at dets egenskaper tydelig skiller seg fra konkurrentene.”

Videre heter det:

”Det er gjennom bruken av konkurransemidlene, de 5 P’ene, at vi plasserer produktet eller bedriften i kundens bevissthet.”

De 5 P’ene det er snakk om her er:

- Price

- Product

- Place (Distribusjon)

- PR (Markedskommunikasjon (bl.a. reklame))

- Personell

Disse 5 hovedpunktene danner hovedprogrammet for markedsføringen i en bedrift, og gjennom riktig bruk av disse vil man kunne påvirke forbrukerens valg drastisk. Men siden dette er et enormt omfattende fagfelt skal vi bare fokusere på reklamen rettet mot forbrukermarkedet, som er en del av Markedskommunikasjonen (den fjerde p’en).

Det finnes forskjellige måter å posisjonere produkter på. Posisjonering kan skje gjennom rasjonelle produktfordeler, men også gjennom irrasjonelle. Det optimale for en markedsfører vil være å oppnå en blanding av disse. Man vil bevisst plassere produktet i folks hjerner, men aller helst også i hjertet, slik at man vekker følelser og emosjoner hos forbrukeren. Dette knytter forbrukeren sterkere til produktet, og skaper et produktforhold.

Posisjonering gjennom irrasjonelle fordeler ved produktet:

Dette kan nemlig føre til at forbrukeren ikke bare har et ”sterilt” forhold til produktet, men at det dessuten vekker følelser og emosjoner. Dette er et ekstremt kraftig virkemiddel, og forøvrig også et virkemiddel som får forbrukere til å kjøpe av fullstendig irrasjonelle grunner. Disse irrasjonelle kjøpene kan ofte begrunnes med at produktet har en stor metaverdi. Hva vil for eksempel tale rasjonelt for kjøpet av en Patek Phillipe klokke til 250.000 kroner? Vil ikke klokken hos nærmeste urmaker til en promille av prisen vise tiden like bra? Her vil nok klokkeinteresserte diskutere til det uendelige, men hvis hensikten bare er å se hva tiden er, så er kjøpet på alle måter irrasjonelt. Kjøpere av slike klokker er selvfølgelig opptatt av statusen som følger med produktet. Det er ikke bare en klokke, det er noe helt spesielt, noe unikt og noe bare de færreste av oss kan skryte av å besitte.

"Ordet Meta kommer av gresk som betyr bakenfor eller etter."

For å ta et mer folkelig eksempel; Hvorfor kjøpe en BMW når man kan kjøpe en Skoda? Begge dekker sannsynligvis grunnbehovet like bra, nemlig å komme seg fra A til B på en trygg og komfortabel måte. Allikevel er til dels prisforskjellen enorm. Bilprodusentene holder bevisst en målrettet profil, og BMW står som de fleste av oss vet (vi blir ikke påvirket av reklame, sa du?) for kjøreglede. Skoda holder en økonomisk og miljøbevisst profil. Hvorfor? Nettopp fordi reklamen forteller oss det. Dermed profilerer de seg i visse markeder. Skoda er da antakeligvis godt likt i markedet for miljøvennlige biler, mens BMWen kjøpes av folk som vil ha en bil man kan ha det moro med. Dette viser hvor stor påvirkning reklamen har for vår kjøpsadferd. Det å skape en status og stemning rundt produktet kan altså gjøre at kundene blir lojale mot produktet. Det finnes veldig mange eksempler på folk som kjøper samme bilmerke om og om igjen, eller velger samme hårshampo ved hvert innkjøp. Dette har som oftest med følelser å gjøre. Når en kunde prøver et produkt og er fornøyd med dette, vil han/hun sannsynligvis fortsette å bruke dette produktet. Disse tilleggsverdiene og statusen rundt produktet er det som på fagspråket kalles for metaverdi. Det har altså ikke nødvendigvis noe med det fysiske produktet å gjøre, men helhetsopplevelsen rundt selve produktet.

I rapporten “Identitet for kultur og differensiering “ (Ida Nilstad Pettersen, Institutt for produktdesign, NTNU) har vi en god beskrivelse av problemstillingen:

“I den vestlige verden får metaproduktet større betydning på bekostning av det fysiske produktets egenskaper. Produkter med metaverdi kan selges til priser som ligger skyhøyt over produksjonskostnadene. Vann er gratis tappet fra springen, men kan koste flesk på flaske. Og bli symbol på status eller idioti, avhengig av øynene som ser. “

Ved å posisjonere seg i folks bevissthet vil da bedriften og/eller produktet ha en fast plass i folks bevissthet og helhetsopplevelse. Forbrukeren er godt kjent med produktet, og man vet hva man får. Man har muligens gjort flere gode kjøp av et visst merke, og dette skaper da et godt forhold til produktet. Dette gir folk en slags sikkerhet, for å ta et eksempel: ”Dette kommer fra Gilde, så dette må være et bra produkt!”. Eller omvendt; ”Dette er et ukjent merke, så jeg stiller meg tvilende til produktets egenskaper og kvalitet”. Dette er situasjoner som antakeligvis de fleste av oss kjenner oss igjen i, og dette har med nettopp posisjoneringen å gjøre. Bare et merkenavn i seg selv kan gi oss en kvalitetsfølelse, nærmest en slags garanti.

Merkenavn som for eksempel Armani, Norønna, Telenor eller Sony har alle en bestemt plass i vår bevissthet. Dette er en følge av den bevisste og bestemte merkevarebyggingen som disse bedriftene har drevet. Man har bevisst skapt en profil, og har dermed avgrenset seg i markeder der man ønsker å oppnå økt salg. Som nevnt tidligere gir disse merkene også en slags garanti. Når Volvo går ut på markedet med en ny bilmodell vet alle hva de får, og det blir lettere å selge nye produkter under samme merkenavn.

På cappelens nettsider beskrives dette slik:

”En merkevare er et produkt med visse egenskaper som oppnår tilleggsfordeler overfor forbrukeren på grunn av selve merket"

Merkevarebygging er en strategi som går ut på å gi produktet bestemte tilleggsverdier. Det skilles mellom merkevarebygging og posisjonering. Merkevarebygging er prosessen, mens posisjoneringen er selve resultatet. Hensikten med merkevarebygging er at tilleggsverdiene skal gi økt salg. Dessuten skiller produktet seg ut fra den grå massen.”

Posisjonering gjennom rasjonelle fordeler ved produktet:

Posisjoneringen som skjer gjennom rasjonelle produktfordeler skjer på ”følelsesløse” måter. Dette vil si at forbrukeren helt objektivt kan si at akkurat dèt produktet er bedre fordi det har visse egenskaper, funksjoner, utseende, eller lignende. Forbrukeren skiller da produktene på rasjonelt grunnlag, mer eller mindre uavhengig av statusen eller identiteten som eventuelt måtte følge med. Vi kan for eksempel si at vi trenger en bil med firehjulstrekk og velger derfor en bestemt bil i stedet for bilen som ikke har denne funksjonen, eller velger en bestemt TV fordi den har det laveste strømforbruket.

Baltie
Baltie is a programming language in the first place for learning programming in elementary school and high school i.e. for kids and young. The difference between Baltie and another programming languages is in the fact that Baltie use icons insted of written text (in Baltie 4 C# text commands are allowed).

Baltie's history
Icons languages Baltie 2 and Baltie 3 were developed by Czech company SGP Systems in 1996 and next version in 1999 from the language called Baltazar (1993) and are based on C language. Baltie 4 C# is already based on C

Baltie 4 C#
Baltie 4 C# is a educational programming language which is a continuator of Baltie 3. As a first version of Baltie. Programmers can use text commands (not only icons as in previous versions). Is based on C, contains compiler and built-in debugger. So creates executable files which can be executed without Baltie IDE. Code is written as object oriented programming. Users can choose whether they use primary icons (graphical reprezentation of text commands like for statement or if statement) in the icon editor or text commands in the text editor. Icon commands are converted to the C# code which is compiled. Baltie contains a special window called C# code preview where a user can see his icon commands and correspondent C# code. This is very useful for learning young and kids which have no experiences with programming at all. The bigged noficeable change in Baltie 4 C# is a complete 3D environment with Baltie character (or without for older users). Baltie 4 C# consist of following modes: 3D interactive mode with Baltie, 2D interactive mode with Baltie, 3D(2D) programming mode with Baltie, 3D(2D) programming mode, Console programming mode and C# programming mode where icons are completely hidden and model editor.

Notre-Dame des Vents
Notre-Dame des Vents is a church situed in the Kerguelen Islands, in the base of Port-aux-Français. It is known as the most southern chuch in the world.

Markedsføring: det bedriftsøkonomiske
Det finnes flere grunner for å satse aktivt på markedsføring. Vi har tatt for oss de psykologiske aspektene, men vi har også en bedriftsøkonomisk side ved det. I markedsføringsteorien går alle produkter som introduseres gjennom et livsløp. Den amerikanske markedsteoretikeren Theodore Levitt (Kilde 5) har beskrevet de forskjellige stadiene et produkt gjennomgår fra det lanseres på markedet til det forsvinner og blir erstattet av nye produkter. Det hele starter med introduksjons-fasen, deretter går vi over i en vekstfase. Når markedet etterhvert er mettet, og forbrukerne går ”lei” av produktet går vi over i modningsfasen. Til slutt kommer tilbakegangsfasen. I modningsfasen er ofte konkurransen blitt enormt stor, og det er mange andre aktører som vil ha sin bit av kaken. Det er akkurat i denne fasen at markedsføringens betydning er enorm for å overleve. Varigheten av dette livsløpet varierer veldig; noen produkter er ”døgnfluer”, mens andre klarer å holde seg stabilt på markedet i flere tiår og i enkelte tilfeller enda lenger. Moteprodukter, eller andre kortvarige produkter som er ”in” en stund har ofte en veldig kort varighet på markedet. Ofte så lite som bare noen få uker. Noen klarer å overleve lenge, TineMelk kan være et eksempel på et slikt produkt. Generelt deler vi inn livsløpet i fire faser: Introduksjon, vekst, modning og tilbakegang. Vi skal ikke gå nærmere inn på hva de forskjellige fasene innebærer, men heller fokusere på hvorfor dette livsløpet har mye med reklamepåvirkning å gjøre. se illustrator.

Stargate Atlantis - Phoenix
Phoenix is something under close scrutiny of recent times. Mentioned in a blog with the Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi. Where filiming is taking place on the bridge of the Phoenix (for the last episode of season 4, Last Man, this has led many fans to question what the 'Phoenix' could be. Established that having a bridge makes it a ship the question has led to what type. Following the Intergration of Asguard Technology into the Odyssey. The idea of a new X-305 which has utilized this technology and once again been fully intergrated into a human made ship, not just added ( of course it may just be a copy of the Odyssey. However much speculation as to whether it is a ship featured in the episode Travellers still continues.

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
The phrase horseshoes and hand grenades comes from an old expression -"close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." It's used to discount the relavance of claims like, "I didn't bat any home runs, but I hit the ball against the back fence" or "I failed the exam, but only by two points." For whatever reason, it's particularly popular among musicians -especially within the punk/indie rock genre. "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" has been the title of songs by Fiya, Knives Out, and Ringers. It's also been the title of albums by The Riot Before, Chris Mars formerly of The Replacements, and The Backup Plan. Despite what some might consider overuse, two more bands are planning to use the phrase as titles for their albums -The Prospect and Johanne James.

Steel Catenary Riser
Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) is a deepwater steel riser suspended in a single catenary from a platform, typically a floater, and connected horizontally on the seabed.

Quarter Mile Bridge
The bridge is located in the the western suburbs of Melbourne and crosses the Maribyrnong River. It is located near the E.J. Whitten Bridge, and is 400 metres long (hence the quarter mile name). It was built in 1928, employing 200 with one person dying during its construction. The bridge carries mainly freight trains, but also carries the Melbourne/Sydney CountryLink XPT.

Leaflet
A leaflet usually consists of a printed sheet of paper not larger than international standard A4 in size. Leaflets are used to convey information and are commonly used by companies, organisations and individuals to advertise, products, services, events and activities.

Leaflets can take many forms and are described in various ways. Small leaflets used to promote bars or nightclubs are commonly referred to as flyers. Leaflets overprinted with an individual's address and distributed by post are usually classed as direct (or junk) mail. A folded leaflet is sometimes referred to as a pamphlet, whereas some people class a high quality leaflet printed onto thick paper as a brochure.

Leaflets are not defined in UK law but HM Customs and Revenue state that leaflets normally:

- consist of a single sheet of paper not greater than international standard A4 in size;

- are intended to be held in the hand for reading by individuals (rather than for hanging up for general display);

- convey information;

- are supplied in sufficient quantity (at least 50 copies) to permit general distribution;

- and will either be of an ephemeral nature (designed to be read a few times and then thrown away) or be designed to accompany some other product or service, for example an instruction leaflet.

In the UK most leaflets are classed as VAT zero rated.

Airborne leaflet propaganda, whereby thousands of leaflets are dropped from passing aircraft, is a form of psychological warfare that militaries use in foreign conflict to alter the behavior of people in enemy-controlled territory.

Inventor of the Bidet. Marc-Antoine JACOUD, born in 1662 in Tassin La Demie Lune (France) is known as the intertor of the bidet.

Bidets are primarily used to wash and clean the external vulva and the anus, as well as the skin near these areas, including the perineum. They may also be used to clean any other part of the body; they are very convenient for cleaning the feet, for example. Despite appearing similar to a toilet, it would be more accurate to compare it to the washbasin or bathtub. In fact, the bidet is used by some for a baby bath, though there are some who recommend against this. [1].

Users who are unfamiliar with bidets often confuse a bidet with a urinal, toilet, or even a drinking fountain. The user should use the toilet before using the bidet; its purpose is to wash afterwards. It is generally understood that the user should sit on a bidet facing the tap and nozzle to clean the genitalia, or with their back to the tap and wall to clean the anus.

Bidets are made in several different designs. They may have one tap which pours (usually warm) water into a china basin. The basin can be plugged and filled if necessary, or the water can be allowed to drain away. Other bidets have a nozzle which propels an arc of water up into the air. This jet of water is angled to easily attain the perianal and genital area.

Another design of bidet A bidet may also be a nozzle attached to an existing toilet, or a part of the toilet itself.

Dying In Vain
Dying In Vain is a punk rock and ska band from Rio Grande, New Jersey, known for their offbeat stage humor and self-deprecation.

1. The Early Years
Dying In Vain was formed in 2001 with guitarist [Brandon Smith] and drummer [Ryan "Poor Ritchard" Ritchie]. During this time the underground punk scene in South Jersey was failing and Dying In Vain sought out to solve that problem. During 2001-2003 they played parties and small shows in the South Jersey area. They were known for their more upbeat pop punk, rather than the hardcore music that was being heard at the time. In 2004-2005, things slowed down due to the increasing demand for hardcore metal music in their community, but they still tried to play the music they loved without changing their style. In 2006, a big break came through when Brandon Smith hosted a rock show at a local church, (in which he was kicked out of for the complaints of parents), and Dying In Vain opened the show. The P.A. speakers were blown and the amps were not sounding good, but the people still loved it...that is except for the vocals, (which Brandon was the vocalist).

2. Brandon Smith
Brandon Smith was born on September 18, 1991 in Dennisville, New Jersey and when he was three years old he moved and grew up in Rio Grande, New Jersey. He grew up playing sports and listening to punk rock music. In 1999, when he was just eight years old, he saw a band he had never heard before called Less Than Jake. He had never heard ska music before this point and it inspired him to try to play an instrument. He first picked up an acoustic guitar in 1999 and did not know how to tune the guitar at the time. He tuned the guitar the drop d tuning without any knowledge of what is meant to tune a guitar. He didn't like the acoustic too much at the time and wanted to play what the "real musicians", as he called them played. He picked up his first electric guitar in 2000 and practiced almost 9 hours a day before and after school. In 2000, on a fateful bus ride on the first day of fifth grade, he saw his friend Amanda from third grade and her brother, who he remembered from Little League, Ryan Ritchie. He told Ryan about his punk influence and his guitar playing. Ryan had said he had just got a drum set and hadn't played that much. Brandon and Ryan both agreed to have practice.

3. Making The Band
The first Dying In Vain practice was September 14, 2000 at Ryan Ritchie's house. Brandon recalls this incident as; "It was like hearing Sonny and Cher make love to a diabetic horse...It was just awful. Neither one of us knew how to play and even what a melody was, let alone how to make a hit song." After about 5 months of practicing, they had gotten much better and had a full, decent song down. This song was never named and is never played at any Dying In Vain concerts. When asked why, Brandon said, "That song always was a horrible idea and the chords were not decent or singable...but it was unique, and for that I can be proud of it." In 2001 they decided, jokingly at first, to name their "Band". The first name was "A Walk In The Park", a name thought up by Ryan Ritchie. This was their name until late 2002 when they decided to name their band "Flyswatter", after the 1992 demo of Blink-182. Nobody thought the name was good but they kept on playing shows and recording demos on Brandon's "Crappy cassette recorder".

4. The Demos
The first demo they recorded was in 2003 called "Azabooboo", after Brandon's friend Ray had convinced him it was a movie where Bugs Bunny has destroyed the earth, when he was five years old. This featured their first five songs, which were just instrumental. Shortly after was the next demo featuring rhythm guitar player, B.J. Manyak. This was called 'The Demo of Death" and featured one of their most popular songs, "Crystal", which was a huge hit with the ladies because of the soft and soothing feel to it. Their most recent demo is called "This Town", about living in New Jersey and is expected to sell over 500 copies on Brandon's independent label, [Fester Records]. It is going to be released January of 2008.

5. Shows
After many trial and error demos not selling at all, they just kept playing shows until their big break at the infamous "March 3rd Show" on March 3, 2006, where they earned more local respect and got many more shows added to their list. The "Save The Scene Show" on April 13, 2007 was a big feat for Dying In Vain, playing with such bands as The Sheckies and Bear Mace. This led to more respect and once again more shows. From then on, basement shows, garage shows, and shows in odd places at odd times followed and more people knew the names of these kids in this punk rock band. Shows are still a huge part of Dying In Vain's career and will continue to be until they're too old to rock.

6. New Members
After years of trying to find a bass player, they found amateur bass player, Joe, who went to Ryan's school. He was amazing and still plays bass for the band. A month later, a very attractive young lady named Erin a.k.a. JEZUZ, came to audition as singer. She was amazing and still sings for the band and will be recording the demo with them in the studio, making it the first Dying In Vain studio album, and the first album to be completely with vocals.

The Sport of Cone Shredding
Originating in 2006, cone shredding is a little known extreme sport involving only a cone and one's ability to "shred" or in other words, perform tricks on the cone. Tricks may range from flipping to twisting to clearing gaps, and resemble tricks done on skateboards, however, tricks can only be done using one's feet and occasionally hands.

Inventors and Practitioners
Invented as means of entertainment in 2006 by Derek Debenham and Wess Musso, this sport is only practiced by a few elite St. George athletes. A movement is spreading across the city and prospects are high for this extreme sport.
