Stephen Hero

Stephen Hero is a posthumously published autobiographical novel by Irish author James Joyce. It is the early version of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Its published form reflects only a portion of the manuscript: the first 518 pages have disappeared; 383 pages remain.

Joyce introduced the concept of “epiphany” in Stephen Hero to preface a discussion of Thomas Aquinas’s three criteria of beauty, wholeness, harmony, and radiance: when the object “seems to us radiant, [it] achieves its epiphany.” The term isn’t used when Stephen Dedalus covers the same ground in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In Stephen Hero the protagonist thinks of recording epiphanies in a book.There’s a reference to Stephen Dedalus’s collection of epiphanies in Ulysses. Joyce himself recorded over seventy epiphanies, of which forty have survived.

Background
Work on Stephen Hero probably began in Dublin in 1903, although some scholarship suggests a date between 1904 and 1906. According to Derek Attridge, it was to be "a thinly disguised autobiography, stylistically undistinguished and immensely long."

Joyce abandoned the work in Trieste in 1905. It was left among manuscripts given to the care of his brother Stanislaus when Joyce moved to Paris, who later sent it back to him. Sylvia Beach, to whom Joyce later gave the surviving pages, wrote that, "When the manuscript came back to its author, after the twentieth publisher had rejected it, he threw it in the fire, from which Mrs. Joyce, at the risk of burning her hands, record these pages." Biographer Herbert Gorman supported this claim which has been widely reported. It has been noted that no surviving parts of the manuscript have any signs of burning. This surviving portion, missing the first 518 pages, was published in 1944. Stanislaus Joyce retained a separate portion of the manuscript which include a self-contained episode that would later be developed into a scene in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: This section was later rediscovered and published in 1955. Five additional pages were of this additional section later came to light in 1959 and were later reintegrated into the additional scene in 1963.

Literary Theory
Editor Theodore Spencer wrote in his introduction to the published edition of the manuscript that only in Stephen Hero does Joyce explicate an esthetic theory that pervades all of his other works. He specifically points to the following passage: "Stephen as he passed on his quest heard the following fragment of colloquy out of which he received an impression keen enough to afflict his sensitiveness very severely.…This triviality made him think of collecting many such moments together in a book of epiphanies. By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation, whether in the vulgarity of speech or of gesture or in a memorable phase of the mind itself. He believed it was for the man of letters to record these epiphanies with extreme care, seeing that they themselves are the most delicate and evanescent of moments. Spencer considers this to be the basic esthetic philosophy behind all of Joyce's published writing.

Ahmad ibn 'Imad al-Din

Aḥmad ibn ‘Imād al-Dīn, Ahmad ibn Imad ad-Din (أحمد بن عماد الدين) was a Persian physician and alchemist. He was probably from Nishapur in the 11th century.

He was the author of an alchemical treatise titled On the Art of the Elixir (or Fi sina‘at al-iksir) which is preserved in the National Library of Medicine.

No other copy has been identified, and the author is not listed in the published bibliographies of Islamic writers on alchemy. He wrote the alchemical treatise titled On the Art of the Elixir (or Fi sina‘at al-iksir), in which he describes various Chemical Reactions.

The manuscript copy is undated, but appears to be of the 17th or 18th century. In it, there is extensive marginalia giving citations from Jābir ibn Hayyān.

Talk:Relationship marketing

Another catagory is required
Is there anyone notice the relationship between relationship marketing and social capital?

I believe another catagory is required to explain the concept of 'One to One' Marketing, as coined by Don Peppers book - 'One to One' marketin (121) focues on the interactivity aspect of marketing and has a greater flow of information.

customers value and equity
 * I've never really heard of One-to-One marketing, but it seems like a very buzz-wordy version of Customer Relationship Marketing applicable to smaller segment for more "precise" marketing. Again, if there's anything verified with at least a Journal or a reputable book then I'd be willing to investigate this one for you, but in my opinion it sounds like -- no offense -- bullshit marketing slang.

Should BT be included in this article ? There is no citation next to their entry under the Application section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.195.132.11 (talk) 12:44, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

74.115.216.130 (talk) 18:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Agree with the comments above. Regarding the Application section, I have an issue with the citations supporting the "most well-known marketing campaigns." There should be citations leading to journals or other documents, not a company's website.

Sorry, why is there a redirect from experiential marketing to this page? They are completely different things. Also, there is a separate entry for Experiential Marketing (with a good, relevant definition and another entry for Engagement Marketing where experiential is again defined, although as a subset or alias for the main heading. This redirect should be removed, or should redirect to one of the other, more relevant, pages. I don't know how to do this but it needs to be done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.21.130.89 (talk) 14:18, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

What's "Relationship Muming"!?
Under "Description", what's "Relationship Muming". I presume this is an error but I'm not sure how it should read. This whole paragraph is a bit obtuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbohdjal (talk • contribs) 21:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Improvements
This is one paragraph that needs more improvement.

The relationship marketing scholars are found in obtains the profit obtained by keeping the customer review rate than the profit obtained by developing new customers higher phenomenon, has launched a research on the essence of relationship marketing, concluded that relationship marketing is through the actual maintenance of existing customers, thus creating long-term interests to maximize a way of marketing.This research conclusion has been generally recognized later, but the research scope is only limited to the relationship with old customers, which is easy to ignore the dynamic development of customers, because the formation of customer loyalty customers are from the development of new customers, so we should pay attention to the development of new customers.If the enterprise is limited to the maintenance of existing customers, then it is impossible for the enterprise to achieve any progress and cannot cope with the current market competition.

Should the Live-in Marketing section be deleted?
I'm not familiar enough with Wikimedia policies and processes to just delete this section. I feel like it has no place in the article because it looks like an outbound marketing technique, not a relationship marketing technique, even though it has some similarities.

I also don't believe it is something that is happening in a significant or unique enough way to deserve a place in any wikipedia article. It seems like it is nothing more than a type try-before-you-buy offer. And I was unable to find either of the referenced sources.

To me this section looks like it was put in to acheive some sort of self promotion and use Widipedia as an advertising or legitimising tool.

If you know enough about Wikimedia policies and processes to delete this section, please do.

Kentucky Derby Festival

The Kentucky Derby Festival is an annual festival held in Louisville, Kentucky, during the two weeks preceding the first Saturday in May, the day of the Kentucky Derby. The festival, Kentucky's largest single annual event, first ran from 1935 to 1937, and restarted in 1956.

The festival's main components are: Thunder Over Louisville, the largest annual fireworks display in North America; the Great BalloonFest, featuring the Great Balloon Race; the Great Steamboat Race, featuring the Belle of Louisville; the Pegasus Parade, one of the largest parades in the United States; and the Derby Festival miniMarathon & Marathon.

History
The Kentucky Derby Festival Association started the first week-long festival in 1935, including a parade, a riverfront regatta and an orchestral concert. The first director was Olympic gold medalist Arnold Jackson. In 1937, a Derby Festival king and queen were crowned, marking the start of this tradition. After the floods of 1937, the festival was discontinued and it was not until 1956 when the modern-day Kentucky Derby Festival was reborn. In 2020, the festival was cancelled due to COVID-19, the first such cancellation since 1938.

In 1962 Tom "Cactus" Brooks received the first Kentucky Derby Festival Silver Horseshoe Award, "given to a person who had made a difference in the community and in youth development".

Official events
Events vary from year to year but always include numerous athletic events, including the miniMarathon and Marathon; concerts; fashion shows; wine tastings; luncheons and private parties ranging from backyard barbecues to lavish Derby Eve balls attended by entertainment stars, famed athletes and other persons of note.

The Royal Court
The Royal Court is among the oldest traditions of the Kentucky Derby Festival tradition, dating back to the 1950s by The Fillies, Inc. The Royal Court consists of a group of five young women chosen to preside over events related to the Kentucky Derby. These women officially represent both the Derby Festival and the city of Louisville. In January, a court of Derby Princesses is selected from a pool of more than 1000 applicants. Thirty finalists are selected and the pool is then reduced to five young women who make up the court. Criteria for the selection of the court members includes knowledge of the Derby Festival, poise, intelligence, personality, academic excellence and campus/community involvement.

The court attends nearly 70 events during the two-week period leading up to the Kentucky Derby. The queen is selected by a spin of the wheel at the Annual Fillies Derby Ball. The festival saw this method of queen selections as the most fair way to select from their court and the tradition continues today. Each member of the court is awarded a $2000 scholarship, an entire wardrobe for the festival, VIP access to all events and a chauffeur for the entire two weeks of the official Kentucky Derby Festival.

Thunder Over Louisville
The festival's first major event is Thunder Over Louisville. Thunder kicks off with a day-long air show and one of the largest fireworks displays in North America. The approximately 30-minute firework display begins at nightfall. Thunder Over Louisville's fireworks have been designed and performed by Zambelli Fireworks International since 1991.

Fest-A-Ville
During the festival, much of Waterfront Park is billed as "Fest-A-Ville". It hosts a number of events, including the Chow Wagon, rides, and concerts.

Poster
Each year, an official Derby Festival poster is unveiled and prints are sold to help finance festival events. Artists and photographers who have produced the prized posters include Peter Max and Michael Schwab.

Pegasus Parade
The first event held by KDF was the 1956 Pegasus Parade. The parade is held annually on the Thursday before Derby.

NBC Today Show weatherman Willard Scott was the host of WAVE TV's broadcast coverage of the Pegasus Parade from 1982 through 2005.

Sports
Various sport competitions are held as part of the Festival, including the Derby Festival Volleyball Classic. From 1973 to 2017, the Festival hosted the Derby Festival Basketball Classic. Since 1974, a pro-am golf tournament has been held.

Races
A number of races take place in the festival. The Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon and Marathon occur the Saturday before the Kentucky Derby. The mini has been held since 1974. That same Saturday is typically also when the Great Balloon Race is held, the culmination of the hot air balloon-themed BalloonFest.

Recognition is given to Louisville's restaurant employees with the Run for the Rosé, where waiters and waitresses run an obstacle course while carrying trays of glasses filled with White Zinfandel Wine. Servers finishing with the best time and most wine remaining in the glasses win prizes.

For the annual bed races, businesses create themed mobile beds that are paraded before being race on an indoor track with costumed employees. The Great Steamboat Race usually takes place in the week before Derby, where the Belle of Louisville typically takes on at least one challenger.

Miscellaneous
Since 1997, a spelling bee has been held for the festival.

Pegasus pins
Since 1973, KDF has sold a plastic pin for the Kentucky Derby featuring a pegasus. The pin is used as proof of purchase for admission to a number of the KDF events.

Derby cruising
A controversial aspect of the Derby Festival is "Derby Cruising." Though it is not an official or licensed event during Derby Festival, it takes place in the historically black areas of West Broadway on Derby day and the Friday before it. Cruising consists of motorcycles and cars (many elaborately modified) driving slowly down Broadway, pedestrians crowding the sidewalks, and several blocks closed for a festival with rides and street vendors. The gridlock associated with cruising made it difficult for police to respond to instances of violence during 2005 Derby cruising. In 2006, police made an effort to stop cruising, shutting down Broadway except to emergency vehicles, which resulted in suggestions of racial profiling and much public debate about the legitimacy of Broadway cruising as a free alternative to other festivities.

In 2007, police announced similar plans, although slightly more of Broadway was to remain open, including access to Shawnee Park. The 2007 plan sparked a lawsuit by business owners and a civil rights foundation, claiming the shutdown of Broadway during Derby week violated their constitutional rights and cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars in business. A federal judge allowed the plans to proceed, citing concerns about "public safety and the free flow of traffic".

In 2008, police again banned cruising, but with a new plan allowing traffic to flow but to have a high number of officers on hand to enforce the city's noise and cruising ordinances, the latter of which prevents vehicles from blocking a roadway. Police reported that arrests were down from 2007, although they did shut down a 10-block portion of Broadway for a short time on Derby evening after gridlock developed.

Trader Joes has Organic Ground Beef (85% lean/15% fat) at $7.49 a pound, but it doesn't disclose what part of the cow it is!!! Is it just meat or is it noses, hooves, bone, what is the breakdown??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3705:C400:99C1:DEA2:1C0D:50E3 (talk) 03:56, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

The article says ground beef is made from hog!!? quote: Ground Beef is usually made from the fatty part of a hog

Insularity
This article needs rewriting to give it a more international flavour. In particular, according to the first paragraph Minced Beef is only known as Ground Beef in North America so the title should be changed to Minced Beef to reflect majority international usage. I do get fed up with IAA (Insular American Articles)!

"""Poor little baby, so fed up. Waaaaa

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.142.90.231 (talk) 20:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

America has 6 times the population and over 50 times the area of England and it is anything but insular (or IAA). If America were so insular why would there be so many great French restaurant chains and great Italian restaurant chains there? And why are there so many new words in American's vocabulary from France and Germany and Mexico and everywhere else? (At the same time France is passing laws to keep American words out of their dictionaries!) The fact is there is a cosmopolitan push in the world where good things from all cultures are integrated. Globalization will be the great leveler and final arbiter of the best from our respective cultures. So, to those CB's (Crybabys) who are GDW (Glory Day Wannabe's) attempting to preserve the GOD's (good old days) of their once great empire.....GOY (Get Over Yourself).

Ground beef is used in Mexican food...to make picadillo, which is a common filling for Tacos, Burritos, Gorditas, etc.

"Beef mince" - seriously? 300 million people in the U.S., not to mention 34 million Canadians, wouldn't have the slightest idea what this term means. Since that is the largest body of population in the world that regularly uses ground beef (and since the most consumed dish made of ground beef, the hamburger, was made widely popular in, and from, the U.S.), wouldn't it make much more sense that the main title of this article be "ground beef", with "beef mince" as a linked alternative phrase? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.138.15 (talk) 19:50, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Generalize?
maybe this article should be about all ground meat. Does it make sense to have a separate article for each type? ike9898 15:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * It makes sense to have articles for different types as they have different uses, manufactures, and ways to make it with different regulations for example crawdads or crawfish are not shrimp and should not be labeled as shrimp ass they are different TL;DR they are different foods Woolmadj (talk) 16:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Mincemeat v. Mince Meat
'Mince' and 'mince meat' should go to a disambiguation page to differentiate between mincemeat (now a meatless pie filling) and ground meat/beef.

Shouldn't this page include explanations for terms like Lean 92/8 Extra Lean 96/4 Sirloin 90/10 I mean what's with the division? A completely uneducated guess on my part would be "X" grams of meat per "Y" grams of fat I came to this wiki page to see if my guess was correct or not only to find that it doesn't mention them at all.

Propose expanding food safety section
Hello, I'd like to add the following text about a recent United States National Research Council report to the food safety section of this article:
 * To ensure the safety of food distributed through the National School Lunch Program, food banks, and other federal food and nutrition programs, the United States Department of Agriculture has established food safety and quality requirements for the ground beef it purchases. A 2010 National Research Council report reviewed the scientific basis of the Department’s ground beef safety standards, evaluated how the standards compare to those used by large retail and commercial food service purchasers of ground beef, and looked at ways to establish periodic evaluations of the Federal Purchase Ground Beef Program . The report found that although the safety requirements could be strengthened using scientific concepts, the prevention of future outbreaks of foodborne disease will depend on eliminating contamination during production and ensuring meat is properly cooked before it is served.

Beef mince → Ground beef – The much more commonly referred to name. Almost six times the amount of google hits for "ground beef" (31,000,000) over "beef mince" (5,300,000) Brodey (talk) 13:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Proposal tweaked to Ground beef per WP:NCCAPS. --BDD (talk) 17:43, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I think this is an WP:ENGVAR issue. Beef mince is synonymous with Ground beef and looking on the website of Tesco (the biggest UK grocery retailer) Mince is always used in place of Ground. Zarcadia (talk) 18:05, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. The question is not a matter of what one UK retailer uses, but what is the more common term in the world as a whole. So far, the evidence seems to favour 'ground beef' (per nom). —BarrelProof (talk) 18:51, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This has nothing to do with what "one retailer uses" rather that the term Beef mince is the common name in the UK. Of course Ground beef will have more hits on google, as it's the common name in the U.S. (and therefore will dominate internet hits) but that's not a valid reason to change the existing article name as per MOS:RETAIN. Zarcadia (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Why is it important to maintain British centrism? —BarrelProof (talk) 04:41, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose per WP:ENGVAR. It's definitely an American term; few Brits refer to it as 'ground beef'. --  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 02:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Well it appears we have a majority who feel the page should be moved to Ground beef. The miniscule amount of google hits for "beef mince" can only lead to assume it is a term only used in the UK. While Ground Beef is used in a number of countries especially the larger english speaking ones. Brodey (talk) 10:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose or move to Minced beef (which is probably actually the commoner term in the UK). ENGVAR issue. Almost never called "ground beef" in the UK. It's not even an accurate phrase, since the meat is minced, not ground. In ENGVAR situations, we go with the term used in the variety of English in which the article was originally written, not the term used by the country with the most people (otherwise Wikipedia would largely be written in American English). -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:06, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have now changed my opinion in light of Skinsmoke's discovery that the article was originally written and titled in American English. If we support WP:ENGVAR then we must always support it, even if it goes against one's own native form of English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:08, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Minced beef would be an improvement. We won't run afoul of WP:RETAIN, but this form is likely to be better recognized by American English speakers. --BDD (talk) 16:21, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that in the UK we usually just call the product "mince". The qualifier is usually only used if it's some meat other than beef (e.g. lamb mince, turkey mince); in my experience, "beef mince" is rarely used in conversation, although it may appear on the packs as sold. Moving to Minced beef would therefore, I think, be a good compromise, as the term is frequently used in recipes here and is pretty universally understandable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Agree that Minced beef is an acceptable compromise. Zarcadia (talk) 22:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Does anyone outside the UK use the term 'minced'? Sorry, but I believe the term 'minced beef' is not commonly found in American English. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:57, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant, since as already stated this is a WP:ENGVAR issue and the default form on Wikipedia is not and never has been American English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: There is a very clear case of National varieties of English here, but it's not as clear-cut as some think.  The article was created on 3 April 2004 in American English as Ground beef.  It was moved to Beef mince on 14 June 2009, at about the time the article was being expanded to include examples from outside the United States.  However, that move was made without discussion and contrary to the rules on national varieties.  On the face of it, this should go back to Ground beef.  I wonder, though, whether it doesn't make sense to go for an article title which is understood throughout the English speaking world, as we are directed to try to find commonality if possible.  An Advanced Google search for Minced beef excluding Wikipedia and Ground beef, and confined to sites in the United States in English, indicates that, though it is not the most common term, Minced beef is used in the States.  The term, although not as common as Beef mince (which surprised me) is also used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa (change the search parameters to specify the region).  Skinsmoke (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. In that case, I support the proposed move under WP:ENGVAR. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The mere fact that the article was originally created in American English makes it evident this is a clear case of both WP:ENGVAR and WP:COMMONNAME. This along with everything else presented I fail to see how this article should not revert back to it's original title? Brodey (talk) 19:02, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support as originally proposed, striking my initial vote altogether. WP:RETAIN seems so simple, but what happens when the change itself becomes stable? Well, in this case, ground beef was the original name and the longer-running name altogether, so I think this move would be an appropriate application of RETAIN. Minced beef still might work as WP:COMMONALITY, but this would be my second choice now. --BDD (talk) 20:02, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

It is not the role of the mover of the Requested move discussion to close the discussion and move the article. This is out of process, and completely contradicts the instructions at Requested moves.

I'm slightly confused that someone has copyedited away the other half of "hamburger meat", surely hamburger on its own is generally used to refer to a formed patty or assembled burger and not simply mince, sorry "ground beef", in its raw state? 85.210.100.0 (talk) 23:56, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Cape Breton North and Victoria

Cape Breton North and Victoria (also known as North Cape Breton and Victoria and Cape Breton North—Victoria) was a federal electoral district in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1968.

History
This riding was created in 1903 as "North Cape Breton and Victoria"' riding from Cape Breton and Victoria ridings.

It consisted initially of the county of Victoria, the northern part of the County of Cape Breton: the districts of Boisdale, Boularderie, East Bay (North), French Vale, George's River, Grand Narrows, and Little Bras d'Or, and the towns of North Sydney and Sydney Mines.

In 1924, its name was changed to "Cape Breton North—Victoria", and then to "Cape Breton North and Victoria" in 1933. It was redefined to consist of the county of Victoria, and that part of the county of Cape Breton contained in the municipal districts of Balls Creek and Edwardsville (No. 2), Big Pond (No. 13), Boisdale (No. 9), Boularderie (No. 10), East Bay North (No. 19), East Bay South (No. 8), Enon (No. 21), Frenchvale (No. 22), George's River (No. 23), Grand Narrows (No. 14) and Little Bras d'Or (No. 4), and including the towns of Sydney Mines and North Sydney.

In 1947, the riding was expanded to include the municipal districts of Hillside (No. 3), and South Forks (No. 18).

It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Cape Breton Highlands—Canso, Cape Breton—East Richmond and Cape Breton—The Sydneys ridings.

Members of Parliament
This riding elected the following members of Parliament:

65th Grey Cup

The 65th Grey Cup, also known as The Ice Bowl, was played on November 27, 1977, at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. The hometown Montreal Alouettes defeated the Edmonton Eskimos by a score of 41–6.

Game Summary
The 1977 Grey Cup was Canada's version of the Ice Bowl, as the playing surface was more ideal for ice hockey than football. A blizzard hit Montreal two days prior to the game, and stadium crews salted the field to melt the snow. But when the temperature plunged the next day, the melted snow turned into a sheet of ice. To combat the conditions, many Alouette players affixed staples to the bottom of their shoes in order to get good traction. This move was spearheaded by star defender Tony Proudfoot. The game was the third Grey Cup meeting in four years between the Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos. With a record Grey Cup crowd of 68,318 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, the home team did not disappoint in a 41-6 rout over their Western rivals.

Sonny Wade completed 22 of 40 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted once. Montreal had a total offence of 424 yards, making 21 first downs. The Eskimos were held to just 102 yards and turned the ball over 10 times, six times in the first half alone. The kicking game carried over from the 1975 Grey Cup as both Montreal's Don Sweet and Edmonton's Dave Cutler scored all the points in the first half. Sweet was good on three field goal attempts and missed on one for a single point. With Edmonton trailing 10-0, Cutler finally put the Eskimos on the scoreboard on the final play of the second quarter, connecting on a nine-yard field goal. Sweet booted two field goals, and Cutler kicked another before a Grey Cup touchdown drought spanning eight quarters between these teams was finally put to rest. Edmonton running back Angelo Santucci's fumble set up an Alouette scoring drive. Wade threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Peter Dalla Riva to put the Alouettes ahead 23-6. Just prior to the start of the fourth quarter, Wade threw a 10-yard major to a wide-open John O'Leary, and the rout was on.

Cornerback Vernon Perry returned an interception a Grey Cup record 74 yards to help set up Wade's seven-yard touchdown pass to Bob Gaddis. Sweet added a single and field goal to complete the scoring. Sweet set a number of records in the game, including six field goals and 23 total points, records which still stand. This game marked the Alouettes' third and final championship of the 1970s. For the Eskimos, it marked their fourth loss in five trips to the final since 1960.

Ice Bowl
Although Olympic Stadium was designed to have a retractable roof, and a roof was added in 1987, the stadium was an open-air facility in November 1977. As is common in late November, Montreal received a fair amount of snow before game time.

Stadium crews put salt on the field to melt the snow. But when the temperature dropped on game day, the snow turned into a sheet of ice. The game was marred by several fumbles on otherwise routine snaps of the ball. However, the Alouettes had a competitive advantage: they affixed staples to the bottom of their sneakers to get traction on the slippery surface. The Eskimos, using standard football cleats, never quite found their footing on the icy AstroTurf field (which had a carpet-like texture then, unlike modern artificial turf systems).

Tony Proudfoot, Alouette defensive back and the man largely responsible for perhaps the cleverest ploy in Grey Cup history:

"We just had our 25th anniversary reunion of the team which beat Edmonton in the 1977 so-called Staples Game.

I was asked about it again, of course. It was icy cold and there had been a big snowstorm with a transit strike, and fans walking all the way from downtown to Olympic Stadium.

The field was a skating rink. Guys were trying different kinds of footwear - broomball shoes and things like that. All week long we'd been thinking of what footwear to use. We knew it was going to be slippery and nothing, really, was any good. On a frozen field a lot of players like to wear broomball shoes. But they didn't work very well.

Another alternative, because the field was so hard, was screw-on cleats. Nobody really used those anymore, but they were available. We tried grass cleats, Astroturf cleats, nothing worked. I experimented during the week. I even thought about putting nails through my shoes.

By game day, a bunch of guys settled on using steel cleats. Before the warm-up, I noticed a guy from Bell Canada walking by with a staple gun. A light bulb went on. 'I've tried everything, but not that.' So I tried putting staples in my shoes. I stapled an 'X' on about six bumps. Gordon Judges and Chuck Zapiec put some in, too. We looked at each other and said, 'That's it.'

At the start of the game, about 12 guys had them in and by halftime it was half or three-quarters of the team. The numbers aren't precise because this wasn't organized.

The coaches weren't in on it and the equipment guys had nothing to do with it. It was just the players. Wally Buono was involved. In my opinion it made a big difference. With that little bit of a grip, it gave you extra confidence. We really knew we had something when Gerry Dattilio caught a short pass from Sonny Wade and ran right past Larry Highbaugh for a big gain. Gerry will tell you that he was not ... well, he was not very fast. And Highbaugh was known as one of the fastest guys in the league.

That's when we knew we had something. It was a big factor in that 41-6 win. To me, it was a big deal. I still have that staple gun. To me it's a prized possession."

- Quote from online article by Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, Nov. 22, 2002.

Records

 * The game set a Grey Cup attendance record of 68,318 (which still stands as of 2022), even though it was a bitterly cold day and Montreal was in the midst of one of its frequent transit strikes. Local fans led the many football tourists to the game in a march across town, trekking from downtown to the east-end stadium on the morning of the game.
 * Alouettes defensive back Vernon Perry's 4th quarter 74-yard interception return is the longest in Grey Cup history.
 * Don Sweet's 23 points scored is still a single game Grey Cup record for most points in a championship game by a placekicker.
 * Edmonton and Montreal have met in 11 Grey Cup clashes. The Eskimos prevailed in 1954, 1955, 1956, 1975, 1978, 1979, 2003 and 2005's overtime thriller. The Alouettes were victorious in 1974, the Ice Bowl of 1977, and 2002.
 * This was the first of six consecutive Grey Cup appearances for the Eskimos, who would go on to win the next five CFL championships.
 * The 1977 game was the first Grey Cup played at the new Montreal Olympic Stadium.

ATI Multi Rendering

ATI Multi-Rendering (AMR) is a video technology created by ATI Technologies that enables a single computer to use more than one video processor. Created in 2002, AMR uses a technology ATI calls "Super Tiling" to connect multiple (two or more) video cards together. AMR has been primarily used by Evans and Sutherland, for commercial flight simulators, because of its ability to use more than two VPUs. ATI has introduced a "consumer level" version of AMR, which they refer to as CrossFire.

Super Tiling
Super Tiling is a technology that splits the screen up into equal divisions whose size is based on the number of VPUs. These divisions are called tiles. The partial images are then put together and displayed on the screen. Although not much is known about the interconnect method, it may be a device that bridges the cards together in a method similar to nVidia's SLI bridge card, or it may pass data over unused PCIe ports (as each card will be on a 16X slot, but will only be working at 8X interconnect rates)

Release
The official name of AMR's commercial variant is ATI CrossFire. The chipset was launched with ATI's R520 core for Intel and AMD platforms in the summer of 2005.

Fabric softener

A fabric softener (American English) or fabric conditioner (British English) is a conditioner that is applied to laundry after it has been washed in a washing machine. A similar, more dilute preparation meant to be applied to dry fabric is known as a wrinkle releaser.

A fabric softener reduces the harsh feel of items that were dried in open air, adds a fragrance to the laundry, and/or imparts anti-static properties to textiles. In contrast to laundry detergents, fabric softeners may be regarded as a kind of after-treatment laundry aid.

Fabric softeners are either in the form of a liquid that is typically added during the washing machine rinse cycle, or as a dryer sheet which is added to a tumble dryer before drying begins. Liquid fabric softeners may be added manually during the rinse cycle, automatically if the machine has a dispenser designed for this purpose, through use of a dispensing ball, or poured onto a piece of laundry to be dried (such as a wash cloth) which is then put into the dryer.

Washing machines put great mechanical stress on textiles, particularly natural fibers such as cotton and wool. The fibers at the fabric's surface are squashed and frayed, and this condition hardens into place when drying the laundry in open air, giving the textiles a harsh feel. Using a tumble dryer results in a softening effect, but it is less than what can be achieved through the use of a fabric softener.

As of 2009, nearly 80% of US households had a mechanical clothes dryer. As such, fabric softeners are primarily used there to impart anti-static properties and/or a fragrance to laundry.

Mechanism of action
Fabric softeners coat the surface of a fabric with chemical compounds that are electrically charged, causing threads to "stand up" from the surface and thereby imparting a softer and fluffier texture. Cationic softeners bind by electrostatic attraction to the negatively charged groups on the surface of the fibers and neutralize their charge. The long aliphatic chains then line up towards the outside of the fiber, imparting lubricity.

Fabric softeners impart anti-static properties to fabrics, and thus prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges on synthetic fibers, which in turn eliminates fabric cling during handling and wearing, crackling noises, and dust attraction. Also, fabric softeners make fabrics easier to iron and help reduce wrinkles in garments. In addition, they reduce drying times so that energy is saved when softened laundry is tumble-dried. Additionally, they can also impart a pleasant fragrance to the laundry.

Fabric softeners
Early cotton softeners were typically based on a water emulsion of soap and olive oil, corn oil, or tallow oil. Softening compounds differ in affinity to various fabrics. Some work better on cellulose-based fibers (i.e., cotton), others  have higher affinity to hydrophobic materials like nylon, polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylonitrile, etc. New silicone-based compounds, such as polydimethylsiloxane, work by lubricating the fibers. Manufacturers use derivatives with amine- or amide-containing functional groups as well. These groups improve the softener's binding to fabrics.

As softeners are often hydrophobic, they commonly occur in the form of an emulsion. In the early formulations, manufacturers used soaps as emulsifiers. The emulsions are usually opaque, milky fluids. However, there are also microemulsions, where the droplets of the hydrophobic phase are substantially smaller. Microemulsions provide the advantage of increased ability of smaller particles to penetrate into the fibers. Manufacturers often use a mixture of cationic and non-ionic surfactants as an emulsifier. Another approach is a polymeric network, an emulsion polymer.

In addition to fabric softening chemicals, fabric softeners may include acids or bases to maintain optimal pH for absorption, silicone-based anti-foaming agents, emulsion stabilizers, fragrances, and colors.

Cationic fabric softeners
Rinse-cycle softeners usually contain cationic surfactants of the quaternary ammonium type as the main active ingredient. Cationic surfactants adhere well to natural fibers (wool, cotton), but less so to synthetic fibers. Cationic softeners are incompatible with anionic surfactants in detergents because they combine with them to form a solid precipitate. This requires that the softener be added in the rinse cycle. Fabric softener reduces the absorbency of textiles, which adversely affects the function of towels and microfiber cloth.

Formerly, the active material of most softeners in Europe, the United States, and Japan, was distearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSDMAC) or related quat salts. Due to their poor biodegradability, such tallow-derived compounds were replaced by the more labile ester-quats in the 1980s and 1990s.

Conventional softeners, which contain 4–6% active material, have been partially replaced in many countries by softener concentrates having some 12–30% active material.

Anionic fabric softeners
Anionic softeners and antistatic agents can be, for example, salts of monoesters and diesters of phosphoric acid and the fatty alcohols. These are often used together with the conventional cationic softeners. Cationic softeners are incompatible with anionic surfactants in detergents because they combine with them to form a solid precipitate. This requires that they be added in the rinse cycle. Anionic softeners can combine with anionic surfactants directly. Other anionic softeners can be based on smectite clays. Some compounds, such as ethoxylated phosphate esters, have softening, anti-static, and surfactant properties.

Risks
As with soaps and detergents, fabric softeners may cause irritant dermatitis. Manufacturers produce some fabric softeners without dyes and perfumes to reduce the risk of skin irritation. Fabric softener overuse may make clothes more flammable, due to the fat-based nature of most softeners. Some deaths have been attributed to this phenomenon, and fabric softener makers recommend not using them on clothes labeled as flame-resistant.

Matt Walsh (comedian)

Matthew Paul Walsh (born October 13, 1964) is an American comedian and actor. He is best known for his role as Mike McLintock in Veep for which he received two Primetime Emmy Award nominations. He is a founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade sketch comedy troupe, with which he co-starred in its original television series and the 2015 reboot. He also previously starred in short-lived comedy programs such as Dog Bites Man and Players, and was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He has also appeared in films such as Road Trip (2000), Bad Santa (2003), School for Scoundrels (2006), Role Models (2008), The Hangover (2009), and The Do-Over (2016).

Early life
Walsh was born in Chicago, the fourth of seven children of Dick and Audrey Walsh. He graduated from Hinsdale South High School in 1982. While in high school he played on the football team as a backup tight end. He attended Northern Illinois University, where he graduated with a degree in Psychology, also spending a year studying abroad in Austria at Salzburg College.

Career
After college, Walsh took improvisational comedy classes in Chicago, where he became a regular performer at the Annoyance Theater and ImprovOlympic, and studied under Del Close. In 1991, he met comedian Matt Besser, with whom he began performing stand-up comedy. Along with Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, and Ian Roberts, he is a founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy troupe and played "Trotter" in the troupe's sketch comedy series, which ran for three seasons on Comedy Central. Before the show, the UCB comedy foursome had already been doing improv shows at their theatre in New York, which used to be a burlesque house before they remodeled it to become a theatre. To date, they have founded four successful Upright Citizens Brigade comedy theaters located in New York at UCB Chelsea and The East Village UCB, and Los Angeles with UCB Franklin and UCB Sunset.

Besides his sketch work with the Upright Citizens Brigade, Walsh is also known for his memorable supporting roles in popular comedy films in recent years including Old School, Starsky & Hutch, Be Kind Rewind, Ted, and Keeping Up with the Joneses. Walsh also wrote and starred in the cult indie-comedy Martin & Orloff. Walsh was a correspondent on The Daily Show from 2001 to 2002, and made regular appearances in comedy sketches on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and MTV's Human Giant as well as starring in the Comedy Central mockumentary series Dog Bites Man in the summer of 2006. Walsh has the distinction of having appeared in several Todd Phillips comedy films, most often playing characters aptly named "Walsh".

In 2010, Walsh created the improvised comedy series Players for Spike TV. Walsh (creator, writer, director and executive producer of the show) stars in the series alongside his Upright Citizens Brigade partner Ian Roberts, as two brothers who run a sports bar together. The show aired for one season, concluding on August 14, 2010.

Walsh hosted the podcast Bear Down with comedian Scot Armstrong (screenwriter of Old School) where they discuss their favorite football team The Chicago Bears and do sports-themed comedy bits such as fake call-ins and in-character interviews. The podcast has also featured appearances by comedians such as Horatio Sanz, Ian Roberts, Joseph Nunez, and Matt Price.

In 2010, Walsh had recurring roles on the NBC comedy series Outsourced and on the HBO comedy series Hung. In 2012, he began co-starring as Mike McLintock in the HBO series Veep, for which he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2016 and 2017. During that year, Walsh portrayed J. R. R. Tolkien in The Dead Authors Podcast.

Walsh directed his first feature film High Road, an indie-comedy he co-wrote with Josh Weiner. The film was released on March 6, 2012. Walsh co-wrote his second film, A Better You, with Brian Huskey, who also stars in the film.

In the movie Into the Storm, Walsh stars as Pete Moore, who is the driver of the Tornado Intercept Vehicle nicknamed "Titus."

He appeared in the MyCareer mode in the basketball simulation game NBA 2K17.

Static cling

Static cling is the tendency for light objects to stick (cling) to other objects owing to static electricity. It is common in clothing, but occurs with other items, such as the tendency of dust to be attracted to, and stick to, plastic items.

Cause and prevention
In clothing, static cling occurs from static electricity. An electrostatic charge builds up on clothes due to the triboelectric effect when pieces of fabric rub against each other, as happens particularly in a clothes dryer. The separate positive and negatively charged surfaces attract each other. It is especially noticeable when humidity is low, allowing static electricity to build up. Certain substances can reduce static cling and are often included in fabric softener and dryer sheets. Antistatic agents, which make the surfaces slightly conductive, can be used on fabrics.

Electronic devices
Dust accumulation caused by static cling is a significant issue for computers and other electronic devices with heat generating components that need to be cooled by airflow. Dust is carried into the computer by the airflow created by case- and component fans. The accumulated dust covers metal surfaces and clogs the empty space between the fins of heatsinks, diminishing the dissipation of heat and interrupting the outward flow of warm air. Especially for critical components such as microprocessors and memory banks, this raises the risk of them overheating which can ultimately damage or destroy them. To compensate, automatically controlled fans will raise their speed, generating more noise and shortening their lifespan. An additional risk is the (small) electrical conductivity of dust which, given enough accumulation of dust, can cause critical damage to the device's internal components. Dust accumulation grows exponentially, since the accumulated dust creates new static surfaces and physical blockades for new dust to cling to.

In advertising
Advertisers in urban areas, eager to use guerilla marketing techniques, have turned to static cling as a distribution medium. In an advertising campaign for Microsoft's MSN 8 Internet service, on October 24, 2002, hundreds of decals of the MSN butterfly logo were affixed to surfaces in New York City and the New York Times reported that it was static cling that held them there.

The Frog Prince

"The Frog Prince; or, Iron Henry" (Der Froschkönig oder der eiserne Heinrich, literally "The Frog King or the Iron Henry") is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812 in Grimm's Fairy Tales (KHM 1). Traditionally, it is the first story in their folktale collection. The tale is classified as Aarne-Thompson type 440.

"The Frog Prince" can be compared to the similar European fairy tale "The Frog Princess".

Editions
The story is best known through the rendition of the Brothers Grimm, who published it in their 1812 edition of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Grimm's Fairy Tales), as tale no. 1. An older, moralistic version was included in the Grimms' handwritten Ölenberg Manuscript from 1810. Jack Zipes noted in 2016 that the Grimms greatly treasured this tale, considering it to be one of the "oldest and most beautiful in German-speaking regions."

Plot
In the forest, a selfish princess accidentally drops her golden ball into a well. A frog offers to retrieve it in exchange for her friendship. She agrees but goes back on her word after getting the ball back and runs back to her castle. The next day, she is eating with her father the king when the frog knocks on the door and requests to be let in. The king tells his daughter that she must keep her promise and she reluctantly obeys. The frog sits next to her and eats from her plate, then desires to sleep in the princess's bed. She is disgusted at the idea of sleeping with the frog, but her father angrily chastises her for loathing someone who helped her in a time of need. She picks up the frog and places him in the corner of her bedroom, but he hops up to her bed and demands to sleep as comfortably as the princess. Furious, she throws the frog against the wall, but as he falls to the floor he has transformed into a handsome prince. He explains that he was cursed by a wicked witch and the spell could only be broken with the princess's help.

In modern versions, the transformation is triggered by the princess kissing the frog (a motif that apparently first appeared in English translations). In other early versions, it was sufficient for the frog to sleep for three nights on the princess' pillow.

The frog prince also has a loyal servant named Henry (or Harry) who had three iron bands affixed around his heart to prevent it from breaking from sadness when his master was cursed. When the frog prince reverts to his human form, Henry's overwhelming happiness causes the bands to break, freeing his heart from its bonds.

Distribution
It is Aarne–Thompson type 440. According to German folklorist Hans-Jörg Uther, variants are registered across Europe. In addition, scholars Lutz Röhrich, Waldemar Liungman, and Jurjen van der Kooi noted that, apart from some isolated attestations in the southern part of the continent and in Eastern Europe, variants of the tale were collected in the northern part of Europe, comprising a sort of "core area": Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium and Netherlands, extending to Ireland and Great Britain.

However, Röhrich and van der Kooi remarked that the variants collected from oral tradition, even in America, clearly go back to a European original, and Uther argues that they are dependent on the Grimm's tale. That argument does not take into account the Scottish version of the story found referenced in the 16th century Scottish text "Complaynt of Scotland" see Opie and Opie "The Classic Fairy Tales" (1974)p.183.

Other tales
Other folktales similar to "The Frog Prince" are:

 * 1) "The Frog Prince". The first English translation of the above tale. Edgar Taylor, the translator, not only changed the title, but altered the ending in a substantial and interesting manner.
 * 2) "The Wonderful Frog" (W. Henry Jones and Lewis L. Kropf, Hungary).
 * 3) "The Tale of the Queen Who Sought a Drink From a Certain Well" (J. F. Campbell, Scotland).
 * 4) "The Well of the World's End"
 * 5) "The Paddo" (Robert Chambers, Scotland).
 * 6) "The Maiden and the Frog" (James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, England).
 * 7) "Oda und die Schlange" (Oda and the Snake) (Ludwig Bechstein, Germany) – a variant where a serpent replaces the frog
 * 8) "The Kind Stepdaughter and the Frog" (W. Henry Jones and Lewis L. Kropf, England).
 * 9) "The Frog Prince" (H. Parker, Sri Lanka).
 * 10) "A Frog for a Husband" (William Elliot Griffis, Korea).
 * 11) "The Toad Bridegroom" (Zong In-Sob, Korea).

A similar tale type is ATU 402, "The Animal Bride". In these tales, a female animal (mouse, cat or frog) helps a prince with three tasks and after marrying him, assumes human form. In Puddocky (old word for toad), another German folk tale, and likewise "Tsarevna Lyagushka" (The Frog Princess), a Russian folk tale, the male and female roles of the frog prince are reversed. Prince Ivan Tsarevitch discovers the enchanted female frog, who becomes Vasilisa the Wise, a sorceress.

In a Latvian tale, Little White Dog, a girl is tasked with getting water from a well without getting the bucket wet. A little white dog appears and promises to help her if she accepts him as her bridegroom.

Predecessors
A possible parallel in Antiquity may be found in the story of Amymone, who was one of the Danaides. She went to fetch water in a jug because of a drought season caused by the gods. A satyr tried to force himself on her, but the god Poseidon rescued her. It has been suggested that the amphibian suitor and the handsome prince may have been separate characters at first.

Ted Egan

Edward Joseph Egan (born 6 July 1932) is an Australian folk musician and a former public servant who served as Administrator of the Northern Territory from 2003 to 2007.

Early life
Egan was born in Coburg, Victoria, and was educated at Parade College. He moved to the Northern Territory in 1949 at the age of 16 in search of work and adventure. In his early career with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs he was mainly in the bush and engaged in jobs such as stockwork and crocodile hunting while employed as a patrol officer and reserve superintendent. Later he was a teacher at bush schools. He was a member of the first National Reconciliation Council.

Egan was the sole teacher at the Newcastle Waters Station in 1965 and was stranded at the property for six weeks when the creek flooded. During this time, no supplies were able to be delivered, so Egan had to hunt for animals such as bush turkey for food. He later returned to the station in 2012 for the book launch of Middle of Everywhere about life in the area.

Music career
Egan began recording in 1969 with "Drinkers of the Northern Territory" and has released 30 albums, mostly themed around outback life, history and Aboriginal people.

Egan wrote the "Gurindji Blues" in 1969 with Vincent Lingiari during the Wave Hill walk-off. Egan says he was moved to write "Gurindji Blues" after he heard Peter Nixon, then Minister for the Interior, say in parliament that if the Gurindji wanted land, they should save up and buy it, like any other Australian. Nixon also gets a mention in the song.

Complex sales

Complex sales, also known as Enterprise sales, can refer to a method of trading sometimes used by organizations when procuring large contracts for goods and/or services where the customer takes control of the selling process by issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) and requiring a proposal response from previously identified or interested suppliers. Complex sales involve long sales cycles with multiple decision makers. Multiple stakeholders and stakeholder groups contribute to every complex sale. These types of sales can take up to 8 to 18 months as multiple people from higher management are involved.

Description
Any product or service may become a complex sale. In some instances, a complex sale occurs when the market is mature and the stakes are high enough to warrant attention from a variety of stakeholders in the buying organization. In other instances a complex sales process is needed when the buyer has never had experience with the vendor, technology being sold, or if the solution is business critical or impacts the buying organization on a strategic level. The series of filters, purchasing steps, and stakeholders involved are designed to reduce the risks associated with making the wrong buying decision.

Often the need to have multiple stakeholders or buyers involved relates to the level of risk that is involved in the purchase or sale of goods and/or services. As the buyer or buying organization if the purchase only impacts a small group of people or component of the buying organization then often the decision is made by one buyer and the process tends to be quite transactional.

If the purchase impacts the entire organization, affects the company strategically, or can change the buyer business process then often the sales person is required to have a set of skills that are more in line with a subject matter expert or consultant than a traditional sales person. This type of sales person can often be referred to as a Key Account Executive or Complex Sales Executive.

Large or complex sales opportunities that are international in nature require an additional set of personal and sales skills. The need for cross-cultural awareness may add an additional layer of complexity in the sales process.

The larger the purchase and the buyer risk the more trust and credibility required from the Vendor. As a Key Account Executive or Complex Sales Executive in addition to product knowledge and consultative selling skills top producing sales executives also have the ability to build strong client relationships and navigate and avoid the political pitfalls within client organizations.

Forms of complex sales

 * Selling consulting engineering services
 * Facility Management bids including provision of soft and hard FM services
 * Enterprise technology sales such as CRM or POS solutions
 * Private data networks such as MPLS
 * Commercial insurance sales
 * Real Estate development
 * Large fleet vehicle sales
 * Mining equipment sales (e.g. Caterpillar tractors and large tunnel boring machines)
 * Scientific Solution Sales (Data analysis and management)
 * Government acquisition such as for military hardware and services
 * Building management systems
 * Security systems

Sales controlling
Due to the high costs of proposals in complex sales the hit rate i.e. the percentage of successful offers is a valuable indicator of the performance of the sales force.

Sales methods
Because of the large amounts involved, complex sales generally have considerable resources, strategies, and tools devoted to improving the chances of winning these contracts. Consulting companies provide services and develop trademarked methods to support these proposals and sales

Tools
The primary tools for complex sales are customer relationship management (CRM) tools. Other important tools calculate the value of the sale - often in terms of the return on investment (ROI) or total cost of ownership (TCO). Another class of selling tools are configure, price and quote (CPQ). In some cases these tools are provided as part of a more comprehensive enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Limitation of complex sales
By analysing the characteristics of 'stellar performers', Dixon and Adamson argued that building strong personal and professional relationships and advocates among customers was no longer the most important success factor for selling. On the contrary, nearly 40% of 'stellar performer's were sellers who pushed their thinking and were not afraid to share even controversial views with both their customers and bosses.

Isovaleric acidemia

Isovaleric acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which disrupts or prevents normal metabolism of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. It is a classical type of organic acidemia.

Symptoms and signs
A characteristic feature of isovaleric acidemia is a distinctive odor of sweaty feet. This odor is caused by the buildup of a compound called isovaleric acid in affected individuals.

In about half of cases, the signs and symptoms of this disorder become apparent within a few days after birth and include poor feeding, vomiting, seizures, and lack of energy that can progress to coma. These medical problems are typically severe and can be life-threatening. In the other half of cases, the signs and symptoms of the disorder appear during childhood and may come and go over time. They are often triggered by an infection.

Genetics

The disorder has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene – one from each parent – must be inherited to be affected by the disorder. The parents of a child with an autosomal recessive disorder are carriers of one copy of the defective gene, but are usually not affected by the disorder.

Mutations in both copies of the IVD gene result in isovaleric acidemia.

Pathophysiology
The enzyme encoded by IVD, isovaleric acid-CoA dehydrogenase, plays an essential role in breaking down proteins from the diet. Specifically, the enzyme is responsible for the third step in processing leucine, an essential amino acid. If a mutation in the IVD gene reduces or eliminates the activity of this enzyme, the body is unable to break down leucine properly. As a result, isovaleric acid and related compounds build up to toxic levels, damaging the brain and nervous system.

Diagnosis
The urine of newborns can be screened for isovaleric acidemia using mass spectrometry, allowing for early diagnosis. Elevations of isovalerylglycine in urine and of isovalerylcarnitine in plasma are found.

Screening
On 9 May 2014, the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) announced its recommendation to screen every newborn baby in the UK for four further genetic disorders as part of its NHS Newborn Blood Spot Screening programme, including isovaleric acidemia.

Treatment
Treatment consists of dietary protein restriction, particularly leucine. During acute episodes, glycine is sometimes given, which conjugates with isovalerate forming isovalerylglycine, or carnitine which has a similar effect.

Elevated 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid is a clinical biomarker of biotin deficiency. Without biotin, leucine and isoleucine cannot be metabolized normally and results in elevated synthesis of isovaleric acid and consequently 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, isovalerylglycine, and other isovaleric acid metabolites as well. Elevated serum 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid concentrations can be caused by supplementation with 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, genetic conditions, or dietary deficiency of biotin. Some patients with isovaleric acidemia may benefit from supplemental biotin. Biotin deficiency on its own can have severe physiological and cognitive consequences that closely resemble symptoms of organic acidemias.

Prognosis
A 2011 review of 176 cases found that diagnoses made early in life (within a few days of birth) were associated with more severe disease and a mortality of 33%. Children diagnosed later, and who had milder symptoms, showed a lower mortality rate of ~3%.

Epidemiology
Isovaleric acidemia is estimated to affect at least 1 in 250,000 births in the United States.
