The Union Army fortificaton in the siege lines around Petersburg,Virginia,was attack in the pre-dawn Confederate assault by troops led by Major General John B.Gordon.The attack was the last serious attempt by Confederate troops to break the Siege of Petersburg.After an initial success,General Gordon's men were driven back by Union troops of the IX Corps commanded by Major General John G.Parke.
In March 1865,Confederate General Robert E. Lee continued defening his position around Petersburg,but his Army was weekened by desertion,disease,and shortage of supplies and he was outnumered by his Union counterpart,Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant,by about 125,00 to 50,00.After the defeat of his subordinate,Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early,at the Battle of Wayneboro in the Shenandoah Valley,general Lee relized that an additional 50,000 men under Major General Philip H. Sheridan would probably join General Grant's Army at Petersburg.Furthermor Major General Willian T. Sherman was marching noth though the Carolinas to join General Grant as well.General Lee had to avoid being outnumbered aloust 4 to 1 by arriving forces he asked Major General John B. Gordon for advice.General Gordon replied that he had three recommendtions,in decreasing order perference;first,offer peace terms of the enemy;secord,reteat from Richmond and Petersburg,link up with the Confederat Army in North Carolina under General Joseph E.Johnson,jointly defeat General Sherman,and the go after General Grant,third,fight without delay.An argument ensued,with General Lee rejecting the political implications of the first choise and indicating the difficulty of the secord,but General Gordon,left the meeting with the impression that General Lee was considering those options.On March 6,1865,however,General Gordon was summoned back to headquaters and General Lee told him "there seened to be but one thing that we could do -fight.to stand still was death.It could only be death if we fought and failed.".
General Gordon later wrote in his memoirs that he "labored day and night at exceedingly grave and discouraging problem,on the proper solution of which defended the commander"s decision as to when and where he would deliver his last blow for the life of the Confederacy".He worked on his plans until march 23,1865,and decided to recommend a surprise attack on the Union lines that would force General Grant to contract his lines and disrut his plans to assault the Confederate works(which,unbeknownst to General Lee and General Gordon,General Grant had already ordered for March 29,1865).
General gordon planned a pre-dawn assault from the Confederate stronghold known as Colquitt"s Salient against Fort Stedman,one of the fortifcations in Union lines that encircled Petersburg,named for Griffin A. Stedman,a Union colonel from Conneticut who had been killed in the vicinity in August 1864.It was one of the closest sports to the Confederate works,there were fewer wooden chevaux de frise obstructions protecting it,and supply depot on the U.S.Military Railroad was less then a mile behine the fort.Dirctly after capturing Fort Sedman and its artillery,Confederate soldiers would move north and south along the Union lines to clear the neighboring fortifiations and make way for the main attack which would lead to the main Union supply base of City Point (also General Grants"s headquaters),ten miles (16km)northeast on the Appomattox River.
The assault force was three divisions of General Gordon"s Secord Corp (under Brigadier General Clement A.Evens,Major General Bryan Grimes,and Brigadier General James A. Walker),tow brigades from the Fourth Corps division of Major General Bushrod R Johnson (under Brigadier General Matthew W.Ransom and Brigadier William H.Wallace) in close support,and two brigaes from Major general Cadums M.Wilcox"s Third Corps division in reserve.General Lee had also ordered the division of Major General George E.Pickett of the First Corps to move from its position north of the James River in time to join the action.This pepresented almost half of General Lee's infantry of the Army of Northern Virginia:11,500 men of General Gordon's corps and General Bushrod Johnson's division,1,700 of General Wilcox's men nearly,and 6,500 fromGeneral Pickett moving up.Major General William Henry Fitzhugh "Rooney" Lee's cavalry division was designated to exploit the expected infantry breakthough.Opposing them were the Union IX Corps commanded by Major General John G.Parke,defending the first 7 miles (11km)south from the Appomattox River and manning in General Gordon's front (from north to south) artillery Batteries IX and X,Fort stedman,and artillery Batteries XI and XII.General Parke"s 3rd division under Brigadier General John F. Hartranft,was in reserve behnd the lines.While Major General George G.Meade was away at City Point with General Grant,General Parke was the acting commander of the Army of the Potomac,altough he would not relize that until after General Gordon"s attack started.
General Gordon's attack started at 4:15 a.m.Lead parties of sharpshooters and engineers masquerding as deserting soldiers headed out overwhelm Union pickets and to remove obdtructions that would delay the infantry advance.They were followed by three groups of 100 assigned to storm the Union works and stream back into the Union rear area.These men relied on surprise and speed they carried unloaded muskets so that no one could accidentally fire and alert the enemy.The main thrust was between Batteries XI and X,with one group moving north Battery XI and other two for Battery X and Fort Stedman.The movement achieved complete surpise.
Brevet Brigadier General Nepoleon B.McLaughlen,the officer for the Fort Stedman sector,heard the sound of the attack,dressed quickly in the predawn darkness,and role to Fort Haskell just to the south of the Battery Xii which he found to be ready to defend itself.As he moved north,general McLaughlen ordered Battery XII open fire on Battery XI and ordered a reserve infantry regiment,the 59th Massachusetts,to counterattack,which they did with fix bayonets,brifly recapuring Battery XI.Assuming that he had sealed the olny breach in the line,General McLaughlen rode into Fort Stedman.He recalled "I crossed the parapet and meeting some men coming over curtains,whom in the darkness I supposed to be part of the picket,I established them inside the work,giving direction with regard to position and firing,all of which were instantly obeyed".He suddenly realized he was a Union general,capturing him.He was taken back across no man's land and surrendered his sword personally to General Gordon.
General Gordon soon arrived at Fort stedman and found his attack had son exceeded his "most sanguine expectitions".Whithin minutes,Battery X,BatteryXI and BatteryXII and Fort Stedman had been seized,opening a gap nearly 1,000 feet (300m) long in the Union lines.Confederate artillerists under Lieutenant Colonel Robert M.Stribline used the captured guns in Fort Stedman and Battery X open up enfilade fire on the entrenchments to the north and south.The attack began having difficulty at Battery IX to the north the Union troops formed a battle line and the Confederates were too confused by the maze of trenches to attack it effectively.General Gordon truned his attenention to the southern flak of his attack and Fort Haskell,against which he launched his division under Brigadier General Clement Evens.The defenders successfully employed canister rounds from three cannons,halting the assault.The Confederate artillery from Colquitt"s Salient began bombarding Fort Haskell and the Federal field artillery returned fire,alone with massive siege guns in the rear.When the Union flag was knocked down,the Union gunners assumed that it had fallen to the Confederates and opened fire on their own men.Volunteers were found to raise the flag again and four of them were killed before the Federal artillery cease fire.
General Gordon sent message back to General Robert E.Lee that the attack was going well but he was unwere to the troubles developing.His three 100-man detachments were wanding around the rear area in confusion and many had stopped to satisfy their hunger withg captured Federal rations.The cavarly had not found any avenue though which to advance into the rear.General Pickett"s division had such difficulty with rail transportion that only three of it four brigades departed on schedule,and they did not arrived until midday,too late to take part in the battle.And the main Union defence forces was begining to mobilzing.General Parke acted decisively,ordering Brigadier General Hartranft"s reserve division to close the gap while his reserve artillery under Colonel John C.Tidball took up positions on a ridge east of Fort Stedman and began shell the Confederates.
Brigadier General Hartranft,in the words of historian Noah Trudeau,"was a man possessed.From the instant he received word that Fort Stedman had fallen.General Hartranft worked furiously to limits the Confederate penetration and once that objective had been achieveed,to elimate the pocket".Finding that Major General Orlando B.Wilcox,General Parke"s 1st division commander and a more senior officer,was preparing his headquaters to withdraw,General Hartranft was able to convince General Wilcox to yield tactical command and he organized defensive forses that completely ringed the confederate penetration by 7:30 a.m.,stopping it just of the miliartary railrard depot,General Meade Station.The Union artillery,aware the Confederates occupied the Batteries and Fort Stedman,launched punishing fire against them.
General Gordon,who was in Fort Stedman,realized his plan had failed when his men started returning and reported remarkable Union resistance.Whith permission from General Ropbert E.Lee,who had arrived to watch the battle General Gordon scambled to get his forces back to safty.By 7:45 a.m.,4,000 Union troops under General Hartranft were postioned in a semicrle of a mile and a half,ready to counterattack.A messanger arrived with word fromGeneral Parke to delay the attack while reinforcements came up from the VI Army Corps,but General Hartranft ordered his line to charge,writing afterward that "I saw that the enemy had already commence to ,waver and that success was certain.I therefore,allowed the line to charge;beside this,it was doubtful wheather I could communicated with the regiment on the flanks in countermand the movement".The retreating Confederats came under Union crossfire,suffering heavy casualties.Their attack had failed.Fort Stedman was recaptured by squad from the 208th Pennsylvania.
A distinguished vistor came close to witnessing the action on March 25,1865.President Abraham Lincoln was conferring with General Grant and a division-size review parade was scheduled nearby for that morning.Because of the Confederate attack,the review was postponed until that afternoon.A Confederate prisoner was amazed to see the general and president so soon after what he considered a massive attack,riding "by us seemingly not the least concerned and as if nothing had happened".He and his fellow prisoners took note of this self-confidence and "with one accord agreed that our cause was lost".Lincpln had telegraphed to Secretary of War Edwin M.Stanton that morning,"arrived here all safe about 9:00 p.m. yesterday.No war news... Robert (Lincoln's son,serving as an aide to General Grant ) just now tell me there was a little rumpus up the lines this morning,ending about where it began."
The attack on Fort Stedman turned out to be four-hour action with no impact on the Union lines.The Confederate Army was forced to set its own lines,as the Union attacked further down the front line.To give General Gordon's attack enough stength to be successful,General Lee had weakened his own right flank.The II Army Corps and VI Army Corps seized much of the entrenched Confederate picket line southwest of Petersburg,but found the main line still well maned This Union advace prepared the ground for General Grant's breakthough attack on the Third Battle of pettersburg on Apirl 2,1865.
Union casualties in the Battle of Fort Stedman were 1,044 (72 killed,450 wounded,522 missing or captured),Confedaterate casualtties a considerably heavier 4,000 (600 killed,2,400 wounded,1,000 missing or captured).But more seriously,the Confederate positions were weakened.After the battle General Lee's defeat was only a matter of time His final opportunity of break the Union lines and regain the momentum was gone.The Battle of Fort Stedman was the final episode of the Richmond-Petersburg Campain.Immediately following was the Appomattox Campain,including the Battle of Five Forks,the fall of Richmond and Petersburg,and the final surrender of General Lee's Army on Apirl 9,1865.

Could Minsk II Have Prevented the War in Ukraine?
According to the New York Times, the plan for Minsk II emerged “in response to reports that lethal assistance was now on the table in Washington”. In other words, the U.S. wanted to start supplying Ukraine with offensive weapons, so France and Germany stepped in to broker a peace deal before that happened.
Why did Minsk II fail? As I’ve already stated, neither side upheld its end of the bargain. Yet historian Anatol Lieven argues it could have worked but for “the refusal of Ukrainian governments to implement the solution and the refusal of the United States to put pressure on them to do so”.
Lieven’s argument is consistent with numerous public statements made by Petro Poroshenko, the former Ukrainian President under whom Minsk II was signed.
In 2020, a Radio Svoboda journalist asked him whether he signed Minsk II in order to “buy time”. Poroshenko replied, “Of course”. He also said he was “categorically against” granting “special status” to the Donbas because it would lead to the “federalization of Ukraine”.
In June of this year, he told a different Radio Svoboda journalist, “We achieved what we wanted … our task was, first, to avert the threat, or at least to postpone the war – to secure eight years to restore economic growth and create powerful armed forces” (skip to 00:20:20).
He said the same thing on German TV: “What is the results of the Minsk agreement?” Poroshenko asked. “We win eight years to create army. We win eight years to restore economy. We win eight years to continue the reforms and to move to the European Union” (skip to: 00:07:20).

Lessons From the U.S. Civil War Show Why Ukraine Can't Win | Opinion
During the early years of America's Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln sought a limited conflict against people he still regarded as fellow countrymen and with whom he sought reconciliation. Only after three years of stalemate did he turn to "Unconditional Surrender Grant," who in turn unleashed General William Tecumseh Sherman to "make Georgia howl" and help bring the war to its decisively violent conclusion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin waited only six months before switching from a special military operation to full scale war against Ukraine. Putin's initial assault was limited to barely 150,000 troops. He expected a quick victory followed by negotiations on his principal concerns: Russian control of Crimea, Ukrainian neutrality, and autonomy for the Russian population in the Donbas, but he was wrong. Putin had not counted on Ukraine's stiff resistance or the West's massive military and economic intervention. Faced with a new situation, Putin changed his strategy. Now he is about to unleash his own General Sherman and make Ukraine howl.
Last month Putin gave General Sergey Surovikin overall command of Russia's war in the Ukraine. Surovikin comes from the technologically sophisticated Aerospace Forces, but has fought on the ground in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Syria where he is credited with saving the Assad regime. Surovikin has stated publicly that there will be no half measures in Ukraine. Instead, he has begun to methodically destroy Ukraine's infrastructure with precision missile attacks.
Armies need railroads and while Sherman systematically tore up the tracks leading to Atlanta, Surovikin is destroying the electricity grid which powers Ukrainian railroads. This has left Ukrainian cities cold and dark, but Surovikin seems to agree with Sherman that "war is cruelty, and you cannot refine it."
Russia has now put its economy on a war footing, called up the reserves, and assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, including both conscripts and volunteers. This army is equipped with Russia's most sophisticated weapons, and contrary to much Western reporting, is far from demoralized. Ukraine on the other hand has exhausted its armories and is totally dependent on Western military support to continue the war. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley noted last week, Ukraine has done about all it can.
Once Ukraine's rich black soil has firmly frozen, a massive Russian onslaught will commence. In fact, it has already begun at the important transportation hub of Bakhmut, which has become something of a Ukrainian Verdun. We expect Bakhmut to fall and predict that without much more Western support, Russia will recapture Kharkov, Kherson, and the remainder of the Donbas by next summer.
As the West did in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, we are stumbling into another optional, open-ended military commitment. Ukrainian troops are being trained in Europe. Western defense contractors are already maintaining Ukrainian military equipment and operating the HIMAR missile systems. Active-duty American military personnel are now in Ukraine to monitor weapons deliveries. As the Russian offensive gains momentum, we expect loud voices to call for sending ever-more advanced weapons and eventually NATO boots on the ground to defend Ukraine. These voices should be unambiguously rejected for many reasons. Here are a few.
Generations of Western leaders worked successfully to avoid direct military conflict with the Soviet Union. They recognized that, unlike Moscow, the West has very little strategic interest in who controls Donetsk. They were certainly unwilling to risk a nuclear war for Kharkiv. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and the alliance has no obligation to defend it. Nor has Putin threatened any NATO member, but he has made clear that any foreign troops entering Ukraine will be treated as enemy combatants. Sending NATO troops into the Ukraine would thus turn our proxy war with Russia into a real war with the world's largest nuclear power.
Some have presented this conflict as a morality play, between good and evil, but the reality is more complex. Ukraine is no flourishing democracy. It is an impoverished, corrupt, one-party state with extensive censorship, where opposition newspapers and political parties have been shut down. Before the war, far right Ukrainian nationalist groups like the Azov Brigade were soundly condemned by the U.S. Congress. Kiev's determined campaign against the Russian language is analogous to the Canadian government trying to ban French in Quebec. Ukrainian shells have killed hundreds of civilians in the Donbas and there are emerging reports of Ukrainian war crimes. The truly moral course of action would be to end this war with negotiations rather than prolong the suffering the Ukrainian people in a conflict they are unlikely to win without risking American lives.
And then there is always the unexpected turn of events where tensions in one region compound and spill over into another. There is a growing possibility of Iran launching a preemptive military strike on Israel. The revolutionary regime in Iran is facing an increasingly serious popular revolt. A new government in Israel is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The JCPOA is dying and with it any hope of sanctions relief for Iran's failing economy. A war would unite Iran's population in a patriotic struggle, damage Israel's ability to strike Iran, and pressure the West to negotiate an end to sanctions.
There is little doubt that the United States would be drawn into any conflict between Israel and Iran. What worries us is that Iran has been supplying Russia with weapons for the war in Ukraine and Moscow might feel obliged to come to the aid of its allies in Tehran. That sort of domino effect is precisely what started the First World War. Who expected that the assassination of an Austrian grand duke by a Serbian anarchist in Bosnia would lead to thousands of Americans dying in France? We do not need a replay.
Perhaps we are wrong. Perhaps there will not be a Russian winter offensive or perhaps the Ukrainian armed forces will be able to stop it. However, if we are correct and February finds General Surovikin at the gates of Kiev, we need to have soberly considered and honestly debated as a nation and an alliance the extent of our commitment to Ukraine and what risks we are willing accept to our own security.

The Head of the Household Guards thanks the Flemish Government.
The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden contains the soil of 70 First World-War Belgium battlefields and cemeteries, collected by schoolchildren, then transported to London by the Belgian Navy Frigate 'Louisa Marie' to HMS Belfast, where it was handed over to the British Army.
The "sacred soil" was then taken by King's Troop Gun Carriage through the streets to Wellington Barracks where it was blessed and will be laid into the circular bed.
The garden was designed by landscape architect Piet Blanckaert and is backed by The Flemish Government, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, The City of Westminster, British Army and English Heritage.
The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden will be officially opened in November 2014, by members of the Belgian & British Royal Families.

One invite welcome-more, too many. I send my best wishes to you all.
One of the themes for the 2021 Thunder Over Michigan airshow was “Mitchell Madness”. The organizers tried to bring together a number of World War II-era North American B-25 Mitchell bombers. I saw 12 at the performance I attended.
The North American B-25 “Mitchell” was a versatile medium bomber, used by many countries during and after World War II. It was the only type of aircraft to complete bombing missions in all theaters of the war. More than 10,000 were built.
This particular aircraft, “Rosie’s Reply” (N3774), is a combat veteran, having flown eight combat missions during April and May, 1944. According to b-25history.org, this is just one of three surviving B-25s that have flown combat missions. Warbird News also stated in 2013 that this was the only B-25D flying at that time.
The Yankee Air Museum, the organizer of the airshow, owns and operates Rosie’s Reply. Previously the aircraft was named “Yankee Warrior.” In 2021 the Museum changed the name to honor the “amazing women who came together to help win a war while shaping the future of women in the work place.” The Museum also repainted the aircraft with the livery and markings it wore around 1943.
North American Aviation built this B-25D-35-NC in Kansas City, Kansas in 1943. She was assigned to the 12th AF 57th Bomb Wing, 340th Bomber Group and based in Corsica during April and May, 1944. Later that year, she was transferred to the Royal Air Force and assigned to the Royal Canadian Air Force to support training. After a variety of roles with the RCAF, she was sold to a private owner in 1962. After a series of owners, the aircraft was sold to the Yankee Air Force in 1988.
Seen at the 2021 Thunder Over Michigan Airshow, sponsored by the Yankee Air Museum.
Seeing if I can fit a bit more information in the replies, as there weren't any avatars or dates as to when they were made. Does this work or is it getting too crowded?
Heilà.
Brava.
Come da patto, ti ho salutato ScemHesiam, il quale ringrazia e mi ha chiesto la tua mail.
Non aspettarti mail da quell’idiota, non sa neanche come si accende un pc.
E non ricordarmi che quello stronzo ha posato gli occhi su Yume. Quanto mi fa girare i coglioni.
Hmp, se vuoi una seratina “movimentata” se ne può anche parlare. Non che mi manchi la compagnia, ma cambiare ogni tanto fa solo bene. Magari vieni a trovarmi al Sethi, così mi senti anche suonare.
Il lavoro procede, qualche intoppo con un paio di stronzi ubriachi giù al locale (e credo che sia stato uno di loro a rigarmi la macchina porc@ %&@#*) e altri stronzi che vengono al locale giusto per far rissa, ma per il resto va bene. Sono aumentate anche le fans, per fortuna e per sfiga. Alcune sono proprio una rottura di coglioni.
Tu? Oltre a reggere il moccolo ai due piccioncini?
Ti lascio che il lavoro mi aspetta.
See ya ~

Quant’è vero, c****o. Andasse un po’ affanculo quel ca*zo di tiraminchiate di Cupido. Ci fa solo sclerare.
Ahahaha ti stimo! Chissà come ti sei divertito ! Qui purtroppo le professoresse hanno si e no tutte un piede nella fossa. Un liceo di vecchie mummie, a partire da quella rompicoglioni della preside. Quest’anno ci ha pure cancellato il concerto di inizio scuola, solo dio sa cosa mi ha trattenuto dall’ammazzarla.
Comunque, tornando al discorso di prima, di sto passo finisce che lo appendo al chiodo. Ultimamente mi va male anche con le groupie che bazzicano nel backstage, che oddio, sanno il fatto loro, ma sono io che ho la testa da tutt’altra parte.
Rinnovo il vaffanculo a Cupido per questo.
Ahahahaha siete dei grandi! Noi per fortuna non abbiamo ancora di questi problemi, siamo solo un giovane gruppo di sfigati che si ritrova al solito locale. Certo, vedersela poi col gestore sono caz*zi… anche perché poi sono io che mi prendo il cazziatone.
Non mi ricordare la macchina va. Se lo becco altro che usarlo come donnina Hula. E come se non bastasse, giusto per farmi girare ulteriormente i coglioni, un gruppo di stronzi si è rifatto vivo al locale. Era da un paio di mesi che si erano levati dai coglioni ma a quanto pare sono duri a morire. Venivano giù giusto per far casino e rissa. Ho perso il conto di quante volte ci siamo malmenati. Ma ora hanno anche cambiato capo, ora si fanno comandare a bacchetta da un certo Cathan.
Vedremo… ovviamente se provano a far di nuovo danni al Sethi non mi tratterrò dall’insegnargli la buona educazione.
Minch*a che sfiga. Speriamo che la cosa si risolva molto più velocemente.
Tour è una parolona. Come ho detto prima siamo solo un gruppo di sfigati, non siam ancora ai vostri livelli ;)! Quest’estate (come le tutte) prenderemo parte a una serie di concerti che si svolgono sulla spiaggia qui da noi.
Mi piacerebbe farmi un giretto ad Amsterdam, ma dubito di riuscirci. Se ne parla l’anno prossimo, sperando di finire sta merda di liceo. Però per intanto ci prepariamo a una serie di concerti per quest’inverno, dove ci sarà anche una specie di gara tra giovani band.
Divertitevi e dacci dentro con le autoctone anche per noi ;D!
Mo' me ne vado a lavoro, sperando che quei coglioni non decidano di farsi vedere. (Anche se non mi dispiacerebbe sgranchire le mani.)
See ya~

QUOTE….“He learned about pain and death from an ugly dying dog. It had been run over and lay by the side of the road…. To understand what the dog was saying he put his hand on its stumpy tail. “Who mandated this death for you?” he asked the dog. “What have you done?” “I did nothing,” the dog replied. “But this is a harsh death.” “Nonetheless,” the dog told him. “I am blameless.” The Divine Invasion”.

"Communication and Humanities - SMART wearable/people"
BASE Milano
Gli studenti del Master Industrial Design Engineering and Innovation, coordinati da docenti POLI.design, sono stati protagonisti durante la Milano Design Week 2016 dei workshop realizzati nell'ambito della SMART ACADEMY progettata in collaborazione con Spark Reply all'interno di BASE Milano.
It’s snowing this morning, and the snowploughs are out.
You may wonder if anyone ever replies to our photographer’s nonsense.
Apart from telling him that he’s an insensitive, middle-aged Mail-
reader, of course. Well, yes, occasionally they do. A distinguished
doctor responded to yesterday’s comment about auto-focus with: "I
probably shouldn’t ask but … what did you thing the ‘MF’ setting was
for???”
Which was almost as surprising as one sweet lady’s comment on seeing
the snowpark shaper with the recumbent boarder: “And there was I,
thinking that some lucky person had had the opportunity of whacking a
snow boarder with a shovel, and wishing it could have been me…..”
Gatorade Package Re-Design (G-FUEL)
Frist off I would like to apologize for the late reply.
My main goal with this project was to find an innovative and sustainable solution to the cheap original Gatorade plastic bottle. Another goal that was very important was finding a way to create value with the new package. After learning more about plastics and how harmful they are to the environment I thought there would be a lot of room to find something new.
The first question I asked myself was if the bottle was even necessary. If I could eliminate the plastic then most of my goal would be achieved. I found inspiration in both water delivery service, like sierra springs, and the Coca Cola freestyle soda-dispensing machine. Both use a different more unique form of supplying a liquid to a consumer and are very innovative. I thought there was definitely a way to develop a similar sort of machine that could dispense Gatorade. This machine could then dispense potentially all of the Gatorade flavors. This would be the biggest way to achieve my goal of crating value for the consumer. At first I thought to create this machine in a grocery store and sell larger refillable containers that way you would just fill up your own Gatorade and take it home. But I realized that solution wasn’t really addressing the Gatorade audience. From there I decided to put these machines in places where people use Gatorade the most like gyms, fields, sporting events, parks, and colleges. Then the challenge arose of what to put in Gatorade in; would it be quick disposable cups, or dispensable containers. I decided to go with neither and encourage people to bring their own refillable bottles. In this system Gatorade could sell their product at a lower price because they wouldn’t have to buy containers. Also the Gatorade would be easier to ship because it would be concentrated into refillable “cartridges.” In the end I came up with a brand for this new device called G-FUEL. Sort of like a gas station for people.
Overall I thought the new package was successful because it did two major things. One was that it was much more sustainable because it completely eliminated the use of plastic bottles, but it also reduced shipping costs because of the reduced size of the product. Second it pushed the innovation of Gatorade by creating a new environment for the brand to live in by interacting directly with their consumers right when they need and want the product. And also it created a new value for Gatorade consumers because it was exactly where the audience wanted their product and they were free to choose their favorite flavor. It also socially starts to change how we look at sports drinks. Instead of them being a thing we pick up at the store and then store at our house and in our bag heading to the gym now we can just keep one recyclable aluminum container and fill it up when we need Gatorade the most.
This product definitely has room to grow. First the brand was barley developed and there was no ad campaign designed to support the product. If I revisit this project for my portfolio a complete brand creation would be my main priority. Also more details into how much the unit would cost, and what sort of e-waste would be associated with the machine would be very important. Finally just refining the presentation and mock-ups of the device and including mock-ups of where it will actually go would be important too. This would give G-FUEL the look and feel of a legitimate pitch to Gatorade.
Thanks for a great term everyone!! Have a great Summer!!

Al via il primo “Social Media Tour”,
perché Internet fa davvero bene all’Italia.
Da Firenze, passando per Milano e Roma, un tour di eventi gratuiti per spiegare come i
Social Media possano contribuire a rilanciare l'Italia, nel mondo.
Può Twitter aumentare il PIL dell'Italia?
Può Facebook valorizzare il made in Italy nel mondo?
YouTube può restituire smalto “marca Italia”?
A queste domande ha risposto la prima tappa di “Social Media Tour”, il primo tour italiano
di eventi dedicati all’esplosivo fenomeno
dei “social media”, organizzato da Augmendy (nuova realtà specializzata nel mondo dei social media ) in collaborazione con BTO Educational ( una nuova idea che parte dall'esperienza di chi ha organizzato BTO – Buy Tourism Online '09 ).
Marco Monty Montemagno - Io Reporter SKY TG 24 + co-founder Augmendy
David Ghirardello - Team Leader Augmendy
Mirko Lalli - Responsabile Marketing e Comunicazione Fondazione Sistema Toscana

Just don’t mess with our envelope though.
Above is one of those business reply mail envelopes that always come with the credit card solicitations as well as other types of junk mail. I’ve noticed that it’s becoming increasingly common to see a warning statement on the back, saying: “Tampering with this envelope or its contents may result in legal action.”
Right above that line is a number and bar code identified as the “customer locator code.”
This is strange. First, the postpaid envelope is empty when received. How could one tamper with contents when there are no contents?
Second, that “may result in legal action” threat is not terribly convincing, so how much of a deterrent is it going to be?
Perhaps the junk mailers – who I suppose like to be called direct mail marketing companies – are tired of having the postpaid envelopes come back to them with nothing inside, or with extraneous contents, either of an aggravating nature or perhaps even enclosures intended to “get back” at the sender.
Anyway, this new wrinkle, gimmick or whatever it is has resulted in quite a bit of discussion on the ‘net. For instance, a fellow who does a blog titled “This Is True” goes on at considerable length about the subject.
Among other things, he writes, “Have you noticed that many of the companies are starting to threaten their potential customers? When you get the solicitations, open them and look at the back of the postpaid return envelope: many of them have a bar code, and nearby it says (usually in all caps, but I'll spare you) "Warning: Tampering with this envelope or its contents may result in legal action."

Come to think of it, I’ve gone on long enough too.
