The purpose of this study was to determine whether leaders' personality characteristics were related to the hierarchical level and the focus of their roles in organizations. Leaders from two industrial plants of two Fortune 500 corporations were selected for the investigation. They comprised a total population of persons responsible for making decisions concerning the use of data, people, or things within the organizations.
Data were collected employing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Functional Job Analysis Self-Report (FJASR). The MBTI instrument identified personality characteristics in terms of two paired and opposite preferences for (1) sensing or intuition, and (2) feeling or thinking. The FJASR inventory identified job roles in terms of (1) hierarchical level (middle-level or upper-level), and (2) role focus (data-focus or people-focus). The MBTI personality characteristics were crosstabulated with those of job role. Chi-square tests at an alpha level of .05 were then applied to determine whether the leaders' personality characteristics were related to their job roles.
Findings of this study identified relationships which suggest that leaders' personality characteristics are related to the hierarchical levels and the foci of their roles in the organizations. Sensing, described here as the preference to rely on one or more of the five senses for information-gathering, appeared to be the predominant personality preference of leaders in middle-level and/or data-focused roles. Intuition, described in this study as the preference to rely on ideas, possibilities, and associations for information-gathering, appeared to be the predominant preference of upper-level leaders. There appeared no distinct personality preference among leaders in people-focused roles.
Supportive literature warrants the conclusion that until the present study, there has been a lack of workable approaches to leadership studies of this type. Previous studies have not been able to identify and group leaders in similar roles, regardless of job title or other specifically applied role designation in organizations. Additional studies following the approach of this study are needed to determine conclusively whether leaders' personality characteristics are generally associated with the hierarchical level and focus of their roles in organizations.

Swype was a virtual keyboard for touchscreen smartphones and tablets originally developed by Swype Inc., founded in 2002, where the user enters words by sliding a finger or stylus from the first letter of a word to its last letter, lifting only between words. It uses error-correction algorithms and a language model to guess the intended word. It also includes a predictive text system, handwriting and speech recognition support. Swype was first commercially available on the Samsung Omnia II running Windows Mobile, and was originally pre-loaded on specific devices.

In October 2011, Swype Inc. was acquired by Nuance Communications where the company continued its development and implemented its speech recognition algorithm, Dragon Dictation.

In February 2018, Nuance announced that it had stopped development on the app and that no further updates will be made to it.

 The Android app was pulled from the Play Store. The iOS app was also pulled from the App Store. The trial version of Swype is not visible anymore for users in Play Store except users who have installed the app by accessing it in the installed apps part of the Play Store. Cloud features of the paid version such as "Backup&Sync" no longer function, and Nuance Communications has refused to issue refunds to customers who have purchased the app and can no longer reinstall it.

Users have to use Aptoide to download the full version of Swype.

Software
Swype consists of three major components that contribute to its accuracy and speed: an input path analyzer, word search engine with corresponding database, and a manufacturer customizable interface.

The creators of Swype predict that users will achieve over 50 words per minute, with the chief technical officer (CTO) and founder Cliff Kushler claiming to have reached 55 words per minute. On 22 March 2010, a Swype employee by the name of Franklin Page achieved a new Guinness World Record of 35.54 seconds for the fastest text message on a touchscreen mobile phone using Swype on the Samsung i8000, and reportedly improved on 22 August of the same year to 25.94 using a Samsung Galaxy S. The Guinness world record text message consists of 160 characters in 25 words and was at that time typed in 25.94 seconds, which corresponds to a speed of nearly 58 words per minute, or 370 characters per minute. However, it has since been bettered by the Fleksy app on an Android phone to 18.19 seconds in 2014.

, Swype supports the following languages:

Swype was listed among Time magazine's 50 Best Android Applications for 2013.

Availability

In February 2018, the Android app was pulled from the Play Store. The iOS app was also pulled from the App Store.

Starting from 2018, users have to use Aptoide to download the full version of Swype.

In late February 2018, the full version of Swype was discontinued. The trial version of Swype is hidden from the Play Store and App Store. The Swype website was also discontinued and has become a redirect page to XT9 Smart Input.

In a statement emailed to The Verge, Nuance Communications said it would discontinue support of the Swype keyboard app and instead focus on other products. "The core technology behind Swype will continue to be utilized and improved upon across other Nuance offerings—and integrated into our broader AI-powered solutions—most notably in Android-based keyboard solutions for our automotive customers," the company said.

Batley Bulldogs v Featherstone Rovers: Happy Hock planning ahead as he settles into Championship life
GIVEN he answered his phone from the hot-tub in his back garden, life in the Championship seems to be suiting Featherstone Rovers' Gareth Hock just fine.
Saturday, 24th March 2018, 7:45 am
LOVING IT: Gareth Hock, seen above in action for Leigh last season, is enjoying life at Featherstone Rovers. Picture: Martin Rickett/PA.
"I'd just taken my four dogs out and thought I'd jump in while the kids are still at school," the ex-England second-row explained later.
Approaching his 35th birthday, and having moved up to prop in recent times, he needs as much rest and relaxation as possible especially as he could be running up Mount Pleasant's famous hill when Featherstone head to Batley Bulldogs tomorrow.
On-field matters are a little less glitzier than they used to be for the explosive former Super League forward who, of course, featured in the last Great Britain side to beat Australia over in Sydney in 2006.
But having dropped back down to the second-tier after being back in the top-flight with Leigh Centurions last year, Hock is enjoying his football.
"I never thought I'd see it happen me playing for a Yorkshire club," said the veteran, who played almost 200 games for hometown Wigan Warriors before spells with Widnes Vikings, Salford Red Devils and Leigh.
"But it has and I'm loving it. The lads at Fev are great. I thought the travelling would be a bit hard but it's been alright.
"There's a few of us that come from Wigan way – Martin Ridyard, Connor Farrell, Robinson and Brooks.
"Obviously Championship football is a bit different; the pitches aren't the best and it's a tough old league but it's a good competition. I'm still trying to get my fitness up as I didn't do a pre-season due to an operation and the weather's not been great either.
"But I'm getting there. I got some offers from Super League clubs. In fact, I almost went back to Wigan but something fell through with another player that meant that didn't happen as it would have been over the cap.
"I'd hoped to do a year there but it wasn't meant to be and I'm glad in a way as it's helped give me chance to think about things after rugby."
With Featherstone training part-time, he has time to think about a future career.
"I've got a mate who's a sponsor at Warrington and I've been working with him," explained Hock.
"He's into creative concreting and he's been teaching me the trade, driveways and concrete patterning, stuff like that.
"He doesn't need me but he's helping me out and I'm enjoying getting out; I wouldn't like being stuck in offices.
"I've got a few opportunities I can look at and I'm going to weigh things up and see what's best.
"I might even do another year (playing) yet. We'll see how the body feels later on."
Featherstone's only defeat so far was at unbeaten Championship leaders London Broncos and they are backing up after Tuesday's Challenge Cup victory over North Wales Crusaders.
Hock believes Rovers can reach the Qualifiers once more and make their own bid for promotion.
"We've been playing well," he said.
"We've maybe slacked off a little the last couple of weeks with a few injuries and dual-reg stuff but we do have a good squad here. I don't see why not when it comes to getting to those Middle Eights.
"Batley will be tough, though. They always are especially on their pitch."
Hock, of course, spent two years out of the sport after testing positive for cocaine in 2009.
He, then, knows what Zak Hardaker, his former England team-mate, is going through after the Castleford Tigers full-back tested positive for the same substance last autumn and was subsequently sacked by the League Leaders' Shield winners.
Hock added: "I spoke to Zak and told him he can come back from this as I managed to.
"He's made a silly mistake but he still has plenty of time. I'm sure he'll come back strong.
"I came back better and got straight back into the England side so I'm sure he can do the same as long as he keeps training and keeps his head focused. He'll be fine."
Meanwhile, young Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman could make his Featherstone debut after joining on dual-registration terms.
Prop Scott Wheeldon (arm), Misi Taulapapa (banned) and Danny Maskill are out with Mitch Clark - on loan from Castleford – and dual-registered Leeds prop Jack Ormondroyd in contention.

Same issue for me on a Blackberry Pearl. I got asked if I wanted to allow HTTP connections to www.google.com, then the GPRS arrows flashed a bit, then nothing. Looking in Switch Applications I can see that Google Maps is still running, but there's no UI for it.
so im not alone... anyone please help ?/???
I'm on BES. I suspect the issue has something to do with it not being up to connect to the Google servers correctly (although the GMail and GTalk applications both work fine on my Pearl). The previous version told you that it couldn't connect, by way of a message box, but this new version obviously can't be bothered.
well im not BES im BIS.... and this is really starting to get on my nerves, somebody must be able to help :( ! ?
yes ive used it to browse web before.... im on BIS.
In fact, Goole Maps with the BB Curve 8310, is really really accurate!
so do I download Google maps using BB device?
Yes, I'm a BB user with BES with Exchange (Using the 1x free licence) for the past 2 months.

Time to Wake up, Or is it?
Ok, that may be a bit romanticized, but it can be amazing and it can be easy.
As parents, we are constantly bombarded with messages and ideas about learning and education.
It can get very confusing and overwhelming even when we are following along with public or private school…and now we have decided to go RVing!!
Yeah, suddenly we are drowning in the opinions and ideas of anyone and everyone that thinks that we are ruining our kids and that our kids will be illiterate drop out welfare recipients (I actually heard that one).
So the first thing we need to do is realize that RVing with kids isn't for everyone. I'm assuming that since you are here that you think it's for you (or something you think would be cool to explore).
The opinions of people that don't get it or don't have any interest in RVing with school-aged kids doesn't matter!
RVing with schooled-aged kids gives you the opportunity to not only spend time with your kids, but also allows you to help them learn in the way that is best for them.
I understand that it may be more of a challenge with multiple children, but it is doable.
The most important thing about Roadschooling – It is any type of learning that happens along your travels.
Sitting on the lawn and mapping out the various buildings lining the area and discussing when they were built and what they house.
Now if you are thinking, Jessica, I don't even know what neoclassical means. No worries, you have the world at your fingertips right on your phone.
None of us know it all, that's why we use the resources we have, and the biggest, baddest, and most efficient of them all is the internet.
Please note, I'm not saying books are bad, I'm just saying that when you are outside of a classroom, you have to do and use different resources. Not to mention that carrying a bunch of books while walking around DC will get really, really tiring after a bit.
Roadschooling gives you the freedom to choose any curriculum you would like – from a box set of everything and everything you need (including scripts for the teacher) to keeping random workbooks around for when it's raining outside and the internet is down.
I'm joking about that last one, but that's pretty much the kind of curriculum we have.
We do not sit down at the kitchen table at 8 am and work until noon out of workbooks.
Most days the kids aren't even awake at that time.
Our days completely ebb and flow based on how we are feeling that day, what the weather holds, and where we are.
Yesterday, for example, we woke up and had breakfast and then immediately walked over to the clubhouse.
We spent a good hour putting together a puzzle of the United States.
Lots of geography, state capitals, Cardinal Directions, and Primary InterCardinal directions.
We also talked about cheating…what does it mean?
Were we cheating because we were using a map for reference while putting the puzzle together?
When we completed the puzzle, we also retraced some of the routes we have taken on our adventures and began sharing some of the awesome things we saw and did on our travels.
That was a lot of learning and discussing – bonuses, no one had to be forced or coerced into participating and we learned together.
Again, your family is your family, and my family is my family. Just because we don't use a curriculum doesn't mean that you shouldn't.
I'm just trying to encourage you to do what works for you and if you don't enjoy rallying your kids to the table and making them fill out worksheets or test or whatever…if the time spent homeschooling is a horrible drudgery…why are you still doing it?
We are unschoolers. You can Roadschool and Unschool or Roadschool and traditionally homeschool.
Unschoolers = child-led learning. Following children's passions and interests and learning that way. Stuff doesn't happen because we (the parents) think it is best for our children without any consideration for whether or not it is something our kids are interested in. The learning happens naturally and at the pace of the child.
First off, I must let you know that I am not an attorney and I do not know all the laws in all the states to keep you legal, but I know who does!
You can Click Here and get a nice little map that you can click and find out what the state laws are for each and every one of them.
Now you might be thinking, Jessica, am I supposed to stay up to date with all the laws in all the states?
Yeah, see, that's the thing.
Technically (remember, I am not an attorney, but they are) you are supposed to comply with the laws in whatever state you are in…even if it's for a day or two.
If you stay in a state for 30 days or more, then make sure you are complying with those laws.
Having said all that, the likelihood of you or someone you know being questioned about homeschooling (or roadschooling) your kids is very low.
We have been on the road for nearly 3 years and the only person that has ever voiced a whole lotta concern was my mom.
For the most part, folks that we have met have applauded our efforts to take our kids out of a broken and dying education system and taking responsibility for their education.
First, comply with the states in your home state/domicile.
If you are in a state with very strict homeschooling laws, I would suggest setting up your domicile in another state – Texas, Florida, South Dakota are popular.
If possible, enroll your kids in an umbrella school – this is generally a private school that will allow you to homeschool your children. They will, at a minimum, maintain records regarding attendance. Some umbrella schools will do more.
Our kids are enrolled in an umbrella school that maintains attendance records.
We also have yearly evaluations for our kids with an unschooling friendly evaluator.
So we have a lot of pieces of paper saying we are legal and that our kids are learning, even without binders and binders or completed worksheets.
Have you ever thought about what that really means?
It means that there is this arbitrary academic standard that someone made that is now applied to everyone.
This standard takes no account of the individual.
What does it matter if your child reads at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9??
Does it really impact their overall life?
What if your child isn't ready to do geometry or algebra?
Why should they be compared to some standard out there?
Your child is gifted at something.
Roadschooling gives you the freedom, if you choose, to help your child find their genius.
I did fantastic in public school.
I attended a private university on a scholarship and made the Dean's List every year.
I could study and memorize and apply the information I learned.
I can tell you little to nothing of the things I learned.
Because they had no meaning after I took the test or wrote the essay.
They had nothing to do with me or my life or who I was.
I can only imagine where I would be now if I had had the freedom to learn at my own pace.
I would have actually had the opportunity to learn the things that I was interested in.
To still enjoy reading for pleasure because I never had summer reading lists or assigned reading and essays about things I had no interest in.
Hopefully, you have made it this far.
Now I want to talk to you about having proof of what you learned.
This kind of goes along with staying legal, but goes a bit beyond that.
This could be the first step to letting go of more traditional homeschooling to roadschooling (whether you decide to be eclectic or full-on unschooling).
So this may be your first hurdle.
How do you track the stuff you are doing and learning if you aren't sitting down at a table to learn math first, and then history, and then science?
The easiest way to do this is by starting a simple spreadsheet.
Here's an example from several years ago. My child was 5 at the time.
List out the subjects you must cover by law.
Go about and enjoy your roadschooling day – let's go back to that DC example.
Science – Just discuss the weather, environment, plant life, etc.
Science – What is the impact on the environment based on the level of traffic and congestion seen during the visit.
Geometry – Discuss how buildings are laid out relative to the lawn and one another…what angles, distance (formulas like all that hypotenuse/Pythagorean theorem stuff – Not a math pro? Google it!), midpoints, etc.
Again, just look up what your kids need to be legal and fit into your everyday life or look at your everyday life and see how it fits into all the subjects.
I tend to do the latter.
Remember, the internet is in your hand 24/7, use it.
Look up the stuff you don't know too!!
Learn right alongside your child.
What if you try Roadschooling and You Fail?
I think this is a common fear.
All of us want what is best for our children.
If you didn't care, you wouldn't be reading this article.
If I didn't care, I wouldn't have written it.
So how do you fail at roadschooling?
What standards have you set up?
Has someone else said you have failed?
The biggest thing about doing things differently is that you are judged by others (and sometimes yourself) more severely.
The reality is that you don't know how it will turn out.
This is true for all things in life though.
Think about all the people that homeschool by the book and it didn't turn out like they thought?
Or what about those that have their kids in school and it still doesn't go as planned?
There are no guarantees in life and there are no guarantees in Roadschooling.
All you can do is your best and to be there as a family and walk through those moments together.
If you end up with a mathematical genius that gets a full ride to Harvard at the age of 16 you will have obviously succeeded.
How do you measure roadschooling success when your 17-year-old is still not sure what direction to take? Doesn't want to go to college?
Haven't given them the tools to find knowledge.
If your kid knows how to find answers, then you have done your job.
If you have helped them navigate their feelings and you love them, you have not failed them.
Don't let fear keep you from learning, growing, and creating a wonderful life with your kids.
If you made it this far, I think you know that I believe roadschooling can be an incredible journey for children and families.
This article took some loops and turns I didn't expect while I was writing it.
It came straight from my heart.
I hope it encourages and helps you.
What a wonderful article. You covered all areas that people may have questions about. Excellent and informative article. Thanks so much.
Hi Kathleen! Thank you so much. I'm glad that you enjoyed the article!
See, this is something I want to share with my online community! We are full-time RVers for almost 4 years now, with a 5 and 3 year old in tow. Thank you Jessica and I look forward to reading more!
So glad this resonated with you! Yes, please share!! You are very welcome and I appreciate you taking the time to read the article and comment!
I love this article! Very helpful. Thank you!

"for improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats"
Their theoretical discoveries have improved auctions in practice
This year's Laureates, Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, have studied how auctions work. They have also used their insights to design new auction formats for goods and services that are difficult to sell in a traditional way, such as radio frequencies. Their discoveries have benefitted sellers, buyers and taxpayers around the world.
People have always sold things to the highest bidder, or bought them from whoever makes the cheapest offer. Nowadays, objects worth astronomical sums of money change hands every day in auctions, not only household objects, art and antiquities, but also securities, minerals and energy. Public procurement can also be conducted as auctions.
Using auction theory, researchers try to understand the outcomes of different rules for bidding and final prices, the auction format. The analysis is difficult, because bidders behave strategically, based on the available information. They take into consideration both what they know themselves and what they believe other bidders to know.
Robert Wilson developed the theory for auctions of objects with a common value – a value which is uncertain beforehand but, in the end, is the same for everyone. Examples include the future value of radio frequencies or the volume of minerals in a particular area. Wilson showed why rational bidders tend to place bids below their own best estimate of the common value: they are worried about the winner's curse – that is, about paying too much and losing out.
Paul Milgrom formulated a more general theory of auctions that not only allows common values, but also private values that vary from bidder to bidder. He analysed the bidding strategies in a number of well-known auction formats, demonstrating that a format will give the seller higher expected revenue when bidders learn more about each other's estimated values during bidding.
Over time, societies have allocated ever more complex objects among users, such as landing slots and radio frequencies. In response, Milgrom and Wilson invented new formats for auctioning off many interrelated objects simultaneously, on behalf of a seller motivated by broad societal benefit rather than maximal revenue. In 1994, the US authorities first used one of their auction formats to sell radio frequencies to telecom operators. Since then, many other countries have followed suit.
"This year's Laureates in Economic Sciences started out with fundamental theory and later used their results in practical applications, which have spread globally. Their discoveries are of great benefit to society," says Peter Fredriksson, chair of the Prize Committee.
The quest for the perfect auction
Every day, auctions distribute astronomical values between buyers and sellers. This year's Laureates, Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, have improved auction theory and invented new auction formats, benefitting sellers, buyers and taxpayers around the world.
Auctions have a long history. In Ancient Rome, lenders used auctions to sell the assets they had confiscated from borrowers who were unable to pay their debts. The world's oldest auction house, Stockholms Auktionsverk, was founded in 1674 – also for the purpose of selling appropriated property.
Nowadays, when we hear the word auction, we perhaps think of traditional farm auctions or high-end art auctions – but it could just as well be about selling something on the internet or buying property via an estate agent. Auction outcomes are also very important for us as taxpayers and as citizens. Often, the companies that manage our home refuse collection have won a public procurement by placing the lowest bid. Flexible electricity prices, which are determined daily in regional electricity auctions, influence the cost of heating our homes. Our mobile phone coverage depends on which radio frequencies the telecom operators have acquired through spectrum auctions. All countries now take loans by selling government bonds in auctions. The purpose of the European Union's auction of emission allowances is to mitigate global warming.
So, auctions affect all of us at every level. Moreover, they are becoming increasingly common and increasingly complicated. This is where this year's Laureates have made major contributions. They have not just clarified how auctions work and why bidders behave in a certain way, but used their theoretical discoveries to invent entirely new auction formats for the sale of goods and services. These new auctions have spread widely around the world.
Auctions are everywhere and affect our everyday lives – they decide the prices of electricity, emission allowances, financial assets and various commodities.
Auction theory
To understand the Laureates' contributions, we need to know a little more about auction theory. The outcome of an auction (or procurement) depends on three factors. The first is the auction's rules, or format. Are the bids open or closed? How many times can participants bid in the auction? What price does the winner pay – their own bid or the second-highest bid? The second factor relates to the auctioned object. Does it have a different value for each bidder, or do they value the object in the same way? The third factor concerns uncertainty. What information do different bidders have about the object's value?
Using auction theory, it is possible to explain how these three factors govern the bidders' strategic behaviour and thus the auction's outcome. The theory can also show how to design an auction to create as much value as possible. Both tasks are particularly difficult when multiple related objects are auctioned off at the same time. This year's Laureates in Economic Sciences have made auction theory more applicable in practice through the creation of new, bespoke auction formats.
Different types of auctions
Auction houses around the world usually sell individual objects using an English auction. Here, the auctioneer begins with a low price, and subsequently suggests increasingly higher prices. The participants can see all the bids and choose whether they want to place a higher one. Whoever has placed the highest bid wins the auction and pays what she bid. But other auctions have completely different rules; a Dutch auction starts with a high price, which is then gradually lowered until the object is sold.
Both the English and Dutch auctions have open bids, so all participants see the others' bids. In other types of auctions, however, the bids are closed. In public procurements, for example, the bidders often place sealed bids and the procurer chooses the supplier that commits to performing the service at the lowest price, provided that specific quality requirements are fulfilled. In some auctions, the final price is the highest bid (first-price auctions), but in other formats the winner pays the second-highest bid (second-price auctions).
Which auction format is best? This not only depends on the outcome, but also on what we mean by "best". Private sellers are usually most concerned with getting the highest price. Public sellers have broader aims, such as the goods being sold to the bidder that delivers the most long-term benefit for society as a whole. The quest for the best auction is a tricky problem that has occupied economists for a long time.
The difficulty with auction analysis is that a bidder's best strategy depends on how she believes the other participants will bid in the auction. Do some bidders believe the object is worth more or less than others? Do these different valuations reflect some bidders having better information about the goods' characteristics and value? Can bidders cooperate and manipulate the auction to keep the final price down?
Private values
The 1996 Laureate in Economic Sciences, William Vickrey, established auction theory in the early 1960s. He analysed a special case, in which the bidders only have private values for the good or service being auctioned off. This means that the bidders' values are entirely independent of each other. For instance, this could be a charity auction for dinner with a celebrity (say a Nobel Laureate). How much you are willing to pay for such a dinner is subjective – your own valuation is not affected by how other bidders value the dinner. So how should you bid in this type of auction? You should not bid more than the dinner is worth to you. But should you bid lower, perhaps getting the dinner at a lower price?
Vickrey showed that the best-known auction formats – such as the English and the Dutch – give the same expected revenue to the seller, provided that all bidders are rational and risk neutral.
Common values
Entirely private values are an extreme case. Most auction objects – such as securities, property and extraction rights – have a considerable common value, meaning that part of the value is equal to all potential bidders. In practice, bidders also have different amounts of private informationabout the object's properties.
Let's take a concrete example. Imagine that you are a diamond dealer and that you – as well as some other dealers – are contemplating a bid on a raw diamond, so you can produce cut diamonds and sell them on. Your willingness to pay only depends on the resale value of the cut diamonds which, in turn, depends on their number and quality. Different dealers have different opinions about this common value, depending on their expertise, experience and the time they have had to examine the diamond. You could assess the value better if you had access to the estimates of all the other bidders, but each bidder prefers to keep their information secret.
Bidders in auctions with common values run the risk of other participants having better information about the true value. This leads to the well-known phenomenon of low bids in real auctions, which goes by the name of the winner's curse. Say that you win the auction of the raw diamond. This means that the other bidders value the diamond less than you do, so that you may very well make a loss on the transaction.
The most optimistic bidder often overestimates the common value of an auctioned object, so that 'winning' the auction turns out to cause a loss – the winner's curse.
Robert Wilson was the first to create a framework for the analysis of auctions with common values, and to describe how bidders behave in such circumstances. In three classic papers from the 1960s and 1970s, he described the optimal bidding strategy for a first-price auction when the true value is uncertain. Participants will bid lower than their best estimate of the value, to avoid making a bad deal and thus be afflicted by the winner's curse. His analysis also shows that with greater uncertainty, bidders will be more cautious and the final price will be lower. Finally, Wilson shows that the problems caused by the winner's curse are even greater when some bidders have better information than others. Those who are at an information disadvantage will then bid even lower or completely abstain from participating in the auction.
Both private and common values
In most auctions, the bidders have both private and common values. Suppose you are thinking about bidding in an auction for an apartment or a house; your willingness to pay then depends on your private value (how much you appreciate its condition, floor plan and location) and your estimate of the common value (how much you might be able to sell it for in the future). An energy company that bids on the right to extract natural gas is concerned with both the size of the gas reservoir (a common value) and the cost of extracting the gas (a private value, as the cost depends on the technology available to the company). A bank that bids for government bonds considers the future market interest rate (a common value) and the number of their customers who want to buy bonds (a private value). Analysing bids in auctions with private and common values turned out to be an even trickier problem than the special cases analysed by Vickrey and Wilson. The person who finally cracked this nut was Paul Milgrom, in a handful of papers published around 1980.
Milgrom's analysis – partly with Robert Weber – included new and important insights about auctions. One of these concerns how well different auction formats deal with the problem of the winner's curse. In an English auction, the auctioneer starts with a low price and raises it. Bidders who observe the price at which other bidders drop out of the auction therefore obtain information about their valuations; as the remaining bidders then have more information than at the start of the auction, they are less prone to bid below their estimated value. On the other hand, a Dutch auction, where the auctioneer starts with a high price and reduces it until someone is willing to buy the object, does not generate any new information. The problem with the winner's curse is thus greater in Dutch auctions than in English auctions, which results in lower final prices.
This particular result reflects a general principle: an auction format provides higher revenue the stronger the link between the bids and the bidders' private information. Therefore, the seller has an interest in providing participants with as much information as possible about the object's value before the bidding starts. For example, the seller of a house can expect a higher final price if the bidders have access to an (independent) expert valuation before bidding starts.
Better auctions in practice
Milgrom and Wilson have not only devoted themselves to fundamental auction theory. They have also invented new and better auction formats for complex situations in which existing auction formats cannot be used. Their best-known contribution is the auction they designed the first time the US authorities sold radio frequencies to telecom operators.
Radio frequencies that permit wireless communication – mobile phone calls, internet payments, or video meetings – are limited resources of great value to consumers, businesses and society. These frequencies are government owned, but private actors can often utilise them more efficiently. The authorities thus had to somehow allocate access to frequency bands to these actors. This was initially done through a process known as a beauty contest, in which companies had to provide arguments for why they, in particular, should receive a licence. This process meant that telecom and media companies spent huge amounts of money on lobbying. The revenue generated by the process was limited, however.
In the 1990s, as the market for mobile telephony expanded, the responsible authority in the US, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), realised that beauty contests were no longer tenable. The number of mobile companies had expanded rapidly, and the FCC was practically drowning in applications for access to the radio frequencies. After pressure from the FCC, the US Congress permitted the use of lotteries for allocating frequency bands. The beauty contest was thus replaced by an entirely random allocation of licences, which likewise generated only limited income for the government.
However, the mobile operators were unhappy. The lotteries were held at local level, so national mobile operators would typically get entirely discontinuous networks with different frequency bands in different regions. The operators then tried buying and selling frequencies between themselves, leading to the emergence of a large second-hand market for licences. Meanwhile, the US' growing national debt made it increasingly politically difficult to continue distributing licences almost for free. The market value of the licences was many billions of dollars – money that ended up in the hands of frequency speculators instead of in the US Treasury (a loss of revenue which would ultimately be borne by taxpayers). Finally, in 1993, it was decided that frequency bands would be distributed using auctions.
Participants in auctions of multiple interrelated objects – such as radio frequencies in different parts of the country – often want to bid on "packages" of objects. This complicates the auction's design, especially if the seller wants to stop bidders from colluding to keep prices low.
New auction formats
Now a new problem arose – how do you design an auction that achieves the efficient allocation of radio-frequency bands, while at the same time benefitting taxpayers to the greatest possible extent? This problem turned out to be very difficult to solve, since a frequency band has both private- and common-value components. Also, the value of a specific frequency band in a specific region depends on the other frequency bands owned by a specific operator.
Consider an operator who wants to build a national mobile network. Say that a Swedish regulator auctions off frequency bands one by one, starting with Lapland in the north, and onward across the country down to Skåne in the south. Now the value of the Lapland licence depends on whether the operator – in later rounds – succeeds in buying licences all the way down to Skåne, and at what price. The operator does not know the outcomes of future auctions, so it is almost impossible to know how much they should pay for the licence. In addition, speculative buyers may try to purchase the exact frequency band the operator needs in Skåne, so they can sell it at a high price on the second-hand market. Because there is great uncertainty, the operator will keep its bid low or entirely withdraw from the auction to await a possible second-hand market.
This stylised Swedish example illustrates a general problem. To circumvent it, the first US auction had to allocate all the geographic areas of the radio spectrum in one go. It also had to manage many bidders. To tackle these problems, Milgrom and Wilson – partly with Preston McAfee – invented an entirely new auction format, the Simultaneous Multiple Round Auction(SMRA). This auction offers all objects (radio frequency bands in different geographic areas) simultaneously. By starting with low prices and allowing repeated bids, the auction reduces the problems caused by uncertainty and the winner's curse. When the FCC first used an SMRA in July 1994, it sold 10 licences in 47 bidding rounds for a total of 617 million dollars – objects which the American government had previously allocated practically for free.
The first spectrum auction using an SMRA was generally regarded as a huge success. Many countries (including Finland, India, Canada, Norway, Poland, Spain, the UK, Sweden, and Germany) adopted the same format for their spectrum auctions. The FCC's auctions alone, using this format, have brought more than 120 billion dollars over twenty years (1994–2014) and, globally, this mechanism has generated more than 200 billion dollars from spectrum sales. The SMRA format has also been used in other contexts, such as sales of electricity and natural gas.
Subsequently, auction theorists – often working with computer scientists, mathematicians and behavioural scientists – have refined the new auction formats. They have also adapted them to reduce the opportunities for manipulation and cooperation between bidders. Milgrom is one of the architects of a modified auction (the Combinatorial Clock Auction) in which operators can bid on "packages" of frequencies, rather than individual licences. This type of auction requires significant computational capacity, as the number of possible packages grows very quickly with the number of frequencies for sale. Milgrom is also a leading developer of a novel format with two rounds (the Incentive Auction). In the first round, you buy radio spectra from current licence-holders. In the second round, you sell these relinquished frequencies to other actors who can manage them more efficiently.
Basic research led to new inventions
Milgrom and Wilson's ground-breaking initial work should be regarded as basic research. They wanted to use and develop game theory to analyse how different actors behave strategically when they each have access to different information. Auctions – with their clear rules that govern this strategic behaviour – comprised a natural arena for their research. However, auctions have gained in practical significance and, since the mid-1990s, they have been increasingly used in the distribution of complex public assets, such as frequency bands, electricity and natural resources. Fundamental insights from auction theory provided the foundation for constructing new auction formats that overcame these new challenges.
The new auction formats are a beautiful example of how basic research can subsequently generate inventions that benefit society. The unusual feature of this example is that the same people developed the theory and the practical applications. The Laureates' ground-breaking research about auctions has thus been of great benefit, for buyers, sellers and society as a whole.

Just a day after Apple unveiled its new flagship iPhone X equipped with a facial recognition system, United States Senator Al Franken (D-MN), who is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, sent a letter [PDF] to Apple CEO Tim Cook with some questions on the privacy and the security of the Face ID feature.
Face ID is designed to take a 3D face scan that determines the structure of a person's face and transforms it into a mathematical model for device authentication and unlocking purposes. Apple has said that Face ID is protected by the same Secure Enclave that keeps Touch ID data safe, and that all processing takes place on the device itself with no data uploaded to the cloud. Furthermore, Apple says Face ID can't be fooled by a photo or a mask.
In his letter, Franken raises concerns about how Apple plans to use facial recognition data in the future, the diversity of its training, how Apple will respond to law enforcement requests for Face ID data or the Face ID system, and if it might be fooled by a photo or a mask.
Since the announcement, however, reporters, advocates, and iPhone users have raised concerns about how Face ID could impact Americans' fundamental right to privacy, speculated on the ways in which Apple could use faceprint data in the future, and questioned the quality and security of the technology.
For example, it has previously been reported that many facial recognition systems have a higher rate of error when tested for accuracy in identifying people of color, which may be explained by variety of factors, including a lack of diversity in the faces that were used to train a system. Furthermore, some have expressed concern that the system could be fooled, and thus the device unlocked, by a photo or a mask of the owner of the device.
- Can Apple extract Face ID data from a device, will Apple ever store Face ID data remotely, and can Apple confirm that it has no plans to use faceprint data for purposes other than Face ID?
- Where did the one billion images that were used to train Face ID come from, and what steps did the company take to ensure the system was trained on a diverse set of faces?
- Does Face ID perpetually search for a face, and does Apple locally retain the raw photos of faces used to unlock the device? Will Apple retain the faceprints of individuals other than the owner of the device?
- What safeguard has Apple implemented to prevent the unlocking of the iPhone X when someone other than the owner holds the device up to the owners face? How does it distinguish a user's face from a photo or mask?
- How will Apple respond to law enforcement requests to access Apple's faceprint data or the Face ID system itself?
Back when Touch ID was first announced as a new feature in the iPhone 5s, Franken sent Cook a similar letter asking for clarification on how the Touch ID feature works.
Franken asks Tim Cook to respond to all of his Face ID questions by October 13, 2017. Apple is not obligated to respond as this is not a subpoena, but the company will likely cooperate with the request for information.
I like Al Franken. I kind of know the answers to these questions being an Apple fan, but I think it's important to make sure the answers to these questions are as widely known as possible. It's a win for everybody too. Apple ends up looking like privacy advocates and important questions are answered before the next FBI case.
The government is suddenly worried about protecting our privacy? Maybe they should look at how they invade the privacy of citizens every day.
Thank you Senator, for giving the opportunity for Apple to tell the answers we all already know.
Congress should be looking closer at the Equifax mess nevermind the iphone. Besides, TouchID was only secure to 1 in 50,000(Which I had no idea of) and FaceID is 1 in 1,000,000.
Someone needs to explain to Franken how serious the Equifax breech is and why it is a better use of his time.
Apple's stance on how it uses customer information is absolutely crystal clear...It has no plans nor does it have the ability to access your information on the device. Google on the other hand - They are in the business of selling your personal information to marketers.
Damn Franken, watch the keynote.

Glorietta 4, Cinema 3, April 5, 6:00pm
The idea of a remake is actually cool and the execution is serviceable enough. It can pretty much stand up for an OK popcorn film. Fight scenes are fun to watch and I can say that the Kraken part is superbly directed. My problem with the movie is the rendering of 3D. It's flawed and the error is very glaring on some scenes. Disappointing. This is the kind of film that you can disregard the acting but it's a joy to see the actors from "Schiendler's List" still battling it out, this time as immortals. Sam Worthington sucked in the "Terminator Salvation", he did well in "Avatar" and this time, he's in the middle as Perseus.
Friends who might appreciate it: Those who wish it's just the 80's and 3D is not around yet.
Glorietta 4, Cinema 4, April 12, 8:20pm
I haven't read the book but after watching the film, it gave me enough grasp on how the written material looks like. It's a story about a wimpy kid named Greg Heffley who's about to invade his middle schooling (probably close to our Grade Six or Seven). There he conquers his own adventure with his best friend Rowley, his bully brother and the rest of the campus stereotypes. There's nothing much fireworks in the movie but it's a good watch. I like it especially when the storyteller stoops down to the level of the kids and takes the POV from there. Well acted and well made.
Friends who might appreciate it: My dear pamangkins.
It's one film that is very difficult to summarize on a capsule review. Basically, it is one man's journey to the mental abyss, represented by a remote and cold island called the Shutter Island. Roughly more than two hours of exploring the psyche, the movie puts the audience inside a mental asylum, locks the door and plays with sanity. It's good to see a Martin Scorsese film without any trace of an Oscar pressure. This is perhaps his closest to having an intellectual popcorn film. Leo DiCaprio returns to his loud acting (thanks to the whole concept) but very much tolerable (he was great in "Blood Diamond"). The supporting cast fares better. I'm guessing that the Academy will consider at least its technical aesthetics (make-up, costume and even editing). For the first quarter, this is probably one of the best films from Hollywood.
Friends who might appreciate it: The cerebral ones.
Greenbelt 3, Cinema 5, April 17, 1:30pm
A movie like this is best enjoyed with friends over a bottle of beer and a box of pizza. It's a comedy, first and foremost. It's an appeal to come up with an antithesis to comic book superheroes told through the eyes of a loser from New York. The humor is up there but I'm not sure if it really drives the point at the end of the film. I can single out the Chan-wook Park's "Oldboy" charm about the young daughter being brainwashed by the father to fight injustice all over the city. There's definitely something in there. At times violent a la "Kill Bill" but, in general, it lives up to its title.
Friends who might appreciate it: Vague it may sound but the cool ones.
WORKING GIRLS
Greenbelt, Cinema 1, April 22, 1:50pm
With a running time of close to two hours, the movie tells a multi-character story of different women in the workplace. There's one in the tech support, then a nurse and another selling fake designer bags just to support her kids' education at The Ateneo. Taken at face value, the film is watchable enough and the humor is not pretentious. The problem is probably the film's original pedigree. It's largely based on Ishmael Bernal's critically acclaimed film about the women working in Makati during the 80's (read: Cory Aquino's term as the country's chief executive). There we were introduced to a varied female characters ranging from with brains (Hilda Koronel's character) down to plain physique (Carmi Martin's character) and this explains how they fit to the society and how they could have balls sometimes. The 2010 version is perhaps synonymous to Joel Lamangan's "Desperada" with zero political statement to boot and with less authenticity. I can suggest the 80's film to my female friends in the office as a form of tribute to them but I can't say the same thing on the new version. Acting-wise, I like Iza Calzado here. It must be her brave character that is very engaging to watch. Stand-outs for me are mostly doing support roles: Ina Feleo, Cherie Gil, Ricky Davao and, yes, Joel Lamangan.
Friends who might appreciate it: Again, just to make a point, definitely not my working girl friends.
D' SURVIVORS
SM Megamall, Cinema 7, April 29, 1:00pm
My expectation for this film is that it is, just like Jose Javier Reyes' "Working Girls", a remake of the Joey Gosiengfiao movie "Temptation Island". It is not but it also involves a group of people being stranded in a remote island. There they kill time, survive, share stories, frolic, get lost and just kill time. It seems to be pointing to nowhere until the last five minutes explode and slap the viewers with insanity check (hmm, sounds like "Shutter Island"). The frolicking part is actually forgivable but the luxury to invest on this almost pointless indie movie is not. I believe that there are other materials that deserve to be produced and this is just an insult to the industry's struggle to survive against the tides. Sure, there could be a set of viewers who appreciates the humor but I'm not certain with its bad acting especially from the Brapanese male cast. Caramoan could be highlighted here but then again this is simply an awful project to promote the islands. I wonder what the Camarines Sur board is thinking right now with the output. Oh well, I'll just wait for Adolf Alix's next project entitled "Presa".
Friends who might appreciate it: The nonsensical ones.
I believe that this sequel to the highly successful comic book superhero film adaptation is very well made. Nice CGI touch, enjoyable fight scenes and beautifully acted from the main cast. The scenes allotted to Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson are always a delight to comprehend. But just like any other sequel, this one doesn't invest much on a good story to tell. You can feel to the brim that this is a sequel and it's just a part of probably a long installment. The backstory involving the fathers is quite promising but it ends up in vain. It doesn't tell much about the characters. In spite, I still think that this is an above average popcorn film and a good way to spend a weekend evening.
Friends who might appreciate it: Easy. Oracle employees.

Is it regular or large?
I am pretty sure this place used to have two sizes of salads, large and small. Maybe it was actually large and mini.
Same old salad but they changed the names.
Is it because eating a large salad is too much but a regular is just right?
I would love to see the data on this, after the name change I imagine they are selling more large, I am regular, salads.
What can I call dishes to make the kids rush to get them done? Or cleaning their rooms?


Taking the lead in retirement plan support for plan sponsors.
Plan solutions offer institutionally managed funds. This concept of "buying in bulk" could reduce overall plan fees.
Participants are often given expensive and confusing investment options that can be riddled with hidden fees, resulting in dwindling retirement savings.
As the acting plan investment fiduciary, sponsors can be held liable for administrative missteps and plan audits.
Sponsors pass the fiduciary roll to BCJ** as the 3(38) for the plan. This mitigates the risk removes liability for investment management from the plan sponsor.
Sponsors and their HR Managers can spend countless hours managing all of the moving pieces within a complex 401(k) program.
NextLevel(k) combines the support of the plan advisor, plan service administrator and plan fiduciary to create a comprehensive administrative solution.
**BCJ Capital Management LLC assumes the liabilities and risks of the 3(38) investment fiduciary role.

Danny Trejo is a tough guy: Rams tough.
The actor's doughnut shop in Hollywood, Trejo's Coffee and Donuts, will be serving doughnuts saluting the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, Jan. 12, the day of a game at the Coliseum that pits the Rams against the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs for the first time since 1986.
Raised doughnuts with Rams-colored frosting, gold or blue, will sell for $3.
Fans of players can get $4.50 doughnuts adorned with their numbers: quarterback Jared Goff, No. 16; running back Todd Gurley, No. 30; and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, No. 99. There will also be a doughnut for Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, No. 29.
Known for roles in movies such as "Desperado" and "From Dusk Till Dawn," Trejo branched off into restaurants with a growing chain of taco eateries. He opened the doughnut store in 2017. It has a rotating menu, with this week's specialties including — yes — the nacho doughnut, a raised doughnut with jalapeño, chives, cheddar cheese and Trejo's Hot Sauce.
The store is at 6785 Santa Monica Blvd., on the northeast corner of Highland Avenue.

Malaysian cosplay

More on Miyazaki Saga
Son of anime master enters family trade
He may have a hit, but he's known as the other Miyazaki - Charles Solomon, New York Times
(10-22) 04:00 PDT Koganei , Japan -- For Goro Miyazaki, the summer ended on a bittersweet note. This 39-year-old filmmaker had the pleasure of seeing his first movie, the animated feature "Gedo Senki," or "Tales From Earthsea," blossom into the biggest hit of the summer in Japan, as it rose to the top spot and took in more than 7.3 billion yen, about $61.4 million, by the end of September.
But even his success brought inevitable reminders that he is, after all, the other Miyazaki. His Oscar-winning father, Hayao, regarded by many critics as the greatest director working in animation today, has earned much more with his own hits. Ursula K. Le Guin, author of the popular "Earthsea" novels, on which the new film was based, went out of her way to make the distinction on her Web site, calling the father "a genius of the same caliber as Kurosawa or Fellini." She went on to complain about the liberties Goro and his new film took with her work.
More on this.
Now I am still looking to watch the movie but looks like strained ego between father and son has taken into new heights. Why the author made such comparision is beyond me, but I do felt it flame more rivalry juice between them. The anime scene will be graced with the saga of Miyazaki family dispute. I would like to think that both will race with each other producing awesome anime movies that excite the world around us.
