Gideon Wertheizer -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Richard. It is an exciting time for CEVA. The need for and the deployment of our technologies for the digital transformation era never been more evident Wireless solutions between master are the catalysts for the mergers of new smart devices, among which are navies, earbuds and hearing aids, AR glasses, smart watches, smart home products, Industry 4.0 factory automation, telemedicine and more. Our innovative solutions market reach and strong execution are the drivers for another outstanding quarter of new licensing agreements and royalty progress. Total revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was a record high of $32.8 million, up 31% year-over-year.
The licensing environment continues to be robust and came in at $21.6 million, up 74% year-over-year. Our Bluebud product targeted for TWS earbud, Air glasses and smart watch markets and our WiFi solutions, which are ubiquous across many IoT devices and access point products were key contributors. Also in the quarter, our Intrinsix team executed very well signing important design agreements with Lockheed marking with a major industrial company in the defense space with an innovative wearable device company in the medical space. In total, we signed 25 IP licensing and NRE agreements, of which, 13 were first-time customers. Royalty revenue came at $11.2 million in the quarter, down 11% year-over-year. The royalty contribution from our base station and IoT product category was all-time high, driven by secular growth in Bluetooth, computer vision, sensor fusion and cellular IoT markets.
5G base station run, visibility is lower than normal as the space experiences longer lead time deal supply chain constraint. In total, royalty unit shipment of CEVA base station and IoT-enabled products, were 405 million units in the quarter, up from 200 million units in the third quarter last year. Handset baseband royalty this quarter include the milestone of the first 5G smartphone report we have received of just shy of three million units. This gross driver were muted by a larger-than-expected decline in got revenue. We do not see this decline as a market indicator as the 2G market is still sizable in developing countries, and we have experienced this pattern over the years from time to time in 2G royalties. Let me now make a few remarks on our business in the third quarter.
The first is our WiFi product line, which has become a strong driver for us in recent quarter. The complexity of WiFi technology rises dramatically when moving to a new generation of the standard. This possess technology challenges that defers a growing number of incumbents or new entrants from developing technology in-house and to seek our technology to solidify their time to market. The recent WiFi six and WiFi 6E standards are being rapidly adopted in the latest left of smartphone and router and are expanding to X or headsets such as the recent Metaverse initiative by Meta, formerly Facebook and as well as security camera.
WiFi six is also expected to have a fundamental role in autonomous car, where it will be used to upload the terabytes of data collected every day to the cloud where it will be used for AI-based optimization. CEVA is benefiting from a unique position as the only viable IT suppliers that enable semiconductor companies and OEMs to address the diverse and large market that require WiFi six or 6E and upcoming Wi-Fi seven standard. We have now more than 20 WiFi six customers, and our licensing revenue from this space grew 149% compared to the first nine months last year. We are also seeing good progress in shift CEVA-based WiFi product, which grew 24% to more than 111 million units versus the first nine months of last year.
Second, our customer activities have stepped up as we continue to integrate Intrinsix into CEVA. As we noted in prior calls, our growth strategy is driven, one, Intrinsix experience and customer base in the aerospace and defense market which we believe will enable us to expand into this lucrative space and to our capabilities to offer integrated IP solutions, which combines the CEVA IP portfolio and increase chip design competencies to broaden our impact and to grow our revenue base with strategic customer design.
The third quarter was extremely successful in concluding sizable agreements in the defense and medical space. We booked an important and sizable agreement with Lockheed Martin for DARPA SS ITH program. SS ITH stands for system security interface through hardware and firmware, and aims to revolutionize the way electronic systems our prospected gave different means of expectation. As part of the SS ITH program, CEVA through our subsidiary Intrinsix is involved in the development of new hardware security architecture and related design to to protect against entire classes of vulnerabilities exploited through software and not just specific vulnerability instances.
The methodology is being developed as part of this program will enrich our security and assurance IP, offering bringing new levels of protection who connected cars, wireless communication and other industrial markets. Another project that Intrinsix in concluding during the quarter is with a major U.S.-based defense company for advanced node chiplet design. Chiplet Technology is a new way in semiconductor integration with the goal to cost effectively assemble multiple [Indecipherable] or check let into one small chip package and by such gain time to market and lower anterior to key markets. Chiplet technology is already deploying cloud chips by Intel, Broadcom, AMD and Marvell the Intrinsix with the financial backing of BALPA and its ecosystem partner is aiming to drive chiplet to the defense market and further to proliferate them for commercial applications.
And lastly, regarding our activities and market dynamics in cellular IoT. Cellular IoT model is used in a wide variety of verticals, among which our logistics asset acting industrial, agriculture monitoring, parking payment system automotive connectivity and more. It is a high volume and fast-growing market, forecasted by ABI to reach to 920 million models by 2026, growing at a 29% compound annual growth rate. The main segment in the cellular IoT space is LVR IoT, capturing approximately 40% of the volume and growing 44% CAGR between 2019 and 2025. CEVA has strong traction in the CAT one and NB IoT spaces, the two standards we join which dominate the deployments today.
During the third quarter, we continued to see strong growth in volume, up 356% compared to the third quarter of last year, and received the same report for the first time from a new cellular IoT customer, one of the world's top 10 ranked IC design houses. Europe also prioritizing cellular IoT at the back of its large manufacturing base. We have three widely known European customers that have designed CEVA technology. The first is Nordic Semi, using CEVA for NV IoT with dozens of customers, the second sequence is using our PentaG platform for 5G cellular IoT with number of high-profile design win. The third is an unnamed leading semiconductor who is developing cellular IoT chips targeting its large industrial and smart meter customer base.
So in summary, CEVA is transforming from specialty in DSP core technology to a trusted technology house with a pivotal role in enabling new industries to become connected and sport. Our success is underpinned by our unique strength to combine DSP, AI, software, analog and RF designs into a holistic solution for customer and industry needs. We believe we are at an inflection point to scale our business and strengthen our collaborations with key players across broadening the range of industries.
Finally, we continue to monitor any possible implication of the ongoing supply chain constraint. As commonly acknowledged the semiconductor supply challenges in at our broad industries in different manners, which may translate to lower visibility. With that said, we are on track to meet our targets, and we'll continue to work with our customers and partners to mitigate negative impact.
With that said, let me hand over the call to Yaniv for the financials.
Yaniv Arieli -- Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, Jim. I'll start reviewing our operations and for the third quarter of 2021. Revenue for the third quarter was up 31% to $32.8 million, our second sequential all-time high as compared to $25 million for the same quarter last year. Revenue breakdown is as follows: licensing and are related revenue was approximately $21.6 million in all time high, reflecting 66% of our total revenue, 74% growth from $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2020 and 39% sequential growth. This is the full first quarter that we recognized NRE revenue, which resulted from our acquisition intrinsic back in June. Royalty revenue was down 11% to $11.2 million, reflecting 34% of our total revenues compared to $12.5 million for the same quarter last year.
As Gideon noted, our consistent growth in base station and IoT and the penetration to 5G smartphones is muted by a larger-than-expected decline in 2G royalty revenue. Quarterly gross margins came in better than expected due to lower allocation of Intrinsic NRE cost from the R&D expense line to their cost of goods expense line. Gross margin was 85% on a GAAP basis and 87% on a non-GAAP basis as compared to our 81% to 82% guidance. Non-GAAP quarterly gross margin excluded approximately $0.2 million of equity-based compensation expense and $0.2 million for the impact of amortization.
Total GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter was over the high end of our guidance at $26.3 million due to lower allocation Intrinsix NRE cost from R&D to the cost of goods and for our prior quarter guidance. Such shift between these two expense lines may happen from time to time and are tied to the actual design services performed in the quarter. opex also included an aggregated equity-based compensation expenses of $3.2 million and $1.2 million for the different amortization. Our total non-GAAP opex for the third quarter, excluding these items, were $21.9 million over the high end of our guidance due to the same reason I just stated with regards to the GAAP numbers.
GAAP operating profit for the third quarter was $1.7 million, up from $2,000 in the same quarter a year ago. Non-GAAP operating profit was $6.5 million, up 51% from the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, non-GAAP operating profit was up 69% year-over-year to $15.5 million, illustrating the growing operating leverage we are achieving, while we scale the business. Tax expenses for the third quarter was approximately $1.8 million, a bit higher than forecasted with strong revenue mix and interest for connectivity products originating in France, which have a higher corporate tax rate. U.S. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $0.2 million, and diluted loss per share was $0.01 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in diluted loss per share of $0.03 for the third quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter '21 were $4.7 million and $0.20, up 29% and 25% year-over-year we expected. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2020 were $3.6 million and $0.16 respected. With respect to other related data, Shipped units by CEVA's licensees during the third quarter of 2021 was 438 million units, up 26% from the third quarter of 2020 reported shipments. The 438 million units reported 33 million units or 8% were for handset baseband chips. Our base station and IoT product shipments were a record 405 million units, up 29% sequentially and 13% year-over-year. Note, bluetooth was a new record of 291 million units for the quarter and cellular IoT, also reached a new record high of million units.
As for the balance sheet items. As of the end of September 2021, we see that cash, cash equivalent balances, marketable securities and bank deposits were $145 million. Our DSOs for the third quarter were 43 days, a bit higher than the prior quarter, but at our normal level. During the third quarter, we generated $6.4 million from operating activities, depreciation and amortization was $1.7 million and the purchase of fixed assets was $0.2 million. At the end of the third quarter, our headcount, including the Intrinsix team, was 485 people, for which 403 are engineers.
Now for the guidance. Our strong top line performance in the first nine months of 2021 was outstanding and provides us with a strong confidence in our business and strategy going forward. We, therefore, are raising our annual revenue guidance up to a new range of $120 million to $122 million. Our licensing business and our market reach is expanding with good backlog and pipeline for the upcoming quarter. We believe the growth trend in the base station and IoT category LTE and 5G will persist into the fourth quarter.
With the extent that such growth in the fourth quarter being subject to any near-term supply chain constraints, specifically for the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 82% on a GAAP basis and 84% on a non-GAAP basis, excluding rate $0.3 million for equity-based compensation expense and $0.2 million of amortization. opex for the fourth quarter should be slightly lower than the third quarter. For the fourth quarter, GAAP-based opex is expected to be in the range $25.5 million to $26.5 million.
On the anticipated total operating expense for the fourth quarter of $3.2 million is expected to be attributed to equity-based compensation to $1.2 million to the different amortization. Therefore, our non-GAAP opex is expected to be in the range of $21.1 million to $22.1 million. Net interest income is expected to be approximately $0.3 million. Access for the fourth quarter to be approximately 25% on a non-GAAP basis. And share count for the fourth quarter is expected to be around 23.8 million shares.
And Rocco, we could now open the Q&A session. Thank you.
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] First question comes from Matt Ramsey at Cowen. Please go ahead.
Matt Ramsey -- Cowen -- Analyst
Thank you very much. Good afternoon and good morning everybody. I guess for -- to start off with congratulations on all the progress in the business and the raising of the guidance at all. I just wanted to understand a bit about what happened in the mobile, I guess, baseband or handset units dropping off in such a big way in the results. And Gideon, if you could just walk me through the market dynamics or there a particular licensee situation that went on. It was just kind of -- or were there some reclassification of numbers as you guys refocus the company on on new growth areas? I'm just trying to get my mind around that one a little bit.
Good morning. Let me to -- Let me go through first on the composition of the royalties, the way we see it. So as we discussed, the base station in IoT category is flourishing. And we have almost all the products that are growing when you look year-over-year, significantly computer vision, bluetooths, cellular IoT sensor fusion. So that's what we plan and aims and how it's kicking. Base station and IoT, we -- it's -- last year, we had a very strong quarter. Everybody went out of the lockdown. So that was the first full quarter of coming out the lockdown. So it's our comparison. But overall, it's moving. We see it also in the design wins that they are getting China Mobile, for example, both big change. Mobile, when you look is -- I would say, generally, it's trending the way we expected.
We see LTE growing, the 5G is right. I mean the 2G is something that we had in the past there could be different treatment. I don't think it's a matter of things or you don't have inventory in these days. It's more like prioritization. We see many chip companies giving priorities on the allocation that they get to the top tier to high end phones and not to this one. From time to time, we do to up because we had last quarter was very significant one. So we move things between quarters. So I would then the 2G, I don't see it's a market items. I think next quarter is a combats the reason that we don't change our guidance as a result. So it's nothing to do with the general trend that we see in the mobile, which is as we expected. And the good thing is that now we are in the 5G.
By the way, Matt, when you look at it from a nine-month perspective, smartphones are up year-over-year for us in volume. And the 2G looks better on a line months comparison, still lower than last year, but this is due to this Q3 pickup, and we think it could pick up next quarter.
Got it. And thank you for that guys. Just one quick little follow-up to that and then one more question. I guess the follow-up is, should I take it from the fact that the mobile run rate came down as much as it is that sort of the headwind from the Intel modem transition in Cupertino is kind of fully behind you guys in the run rate now.
And then my other question is completely unrelated. But Yaniv, on gross margin, you guys came in well above and opex was higher, too. I just wonder, you guys brought in Intrinsix. And I think some of the folks there might have been categorized in cost of goods versus opex that would have been in your old like core business. I mean, working with the auditors and whatever, is there any kind of change in the allocation there? And how should we think about gross margin going forward?
Sure. So let's start with the first one. Apple is still selling iPhone 11 and FD low-cost type of phones, and it's still out there. We don't know until what and how long it stays. But our report for Q3 was stronger than Q2, for example. So it's still there, it's still contributing. And as long as those phones are shipped, we're getting paid, and that's still a contribution much lower than in the past, but still a positive contribution for us. That's the common in Apple. It has nothing to do with those that design loss at the Qualcomm.
On the cost of goods, you are right that the business -- the service business, when you have products recognized revenues, those expenses are or written at the cost of good time. What happened in the last quarter that not all the people, the R&D guys were utilized for those deals. So we're still doing R&D per se for Intrinsix and not services. And therefore, we had a -- unlike what we had forecasted originally in the beginning of the quarter of 81% to 82%, just a bigger portion of them kept still ended R&D for -- whether it's security or chiplets or a bunch of other technologies that intrinsic has today, and we are trying to make an business out of that and to combine it with their ongoing services.
So it has nothing to do with arbiters whatsoever. This is apparently something that could move from quarter-to-quarter, less in our control. And it more depends on the timing of closing the deal and act to start of an employee or engineer starting to make those design services. And as soon as we do, those costs are recorded in cost is not there, it's in R&D. And that could shift and we had about $1 million shift in our expectations in the third quarter. We think that in the fourth quarter, there'll be more and higher revenues from NRE and therefore, higher expenses in COGS is a little bit lower in the R&D line. So that's the shape that could happen from time to time.
Got it. Just to be clear there, Yaniv, so this is just to set the expectations for investors that this could bounce around a little bit on a quarter-by-quarter basis, but it's not really indicative that anything is changing in the business or the accounting. It's just kind of the way that this business could work as you fold in Intrinsix over time. Thank you for taking my questions guys.
Yes, that's exactly the case, Matt, nothing to do with accounting, just the ramp-up of the product. And I'm sure that when we are fully ramped up and have many more customers and prospects, we may have less of that effect because most people will be involved directly with customers.
And our next question today comes from Tavy Rosner with Barclays. Please go ahead.
Tavy Rosner -- Barclays -- Analyst
Hi, good afternoon and thanks for taking my questions. Did you break out what the interest were new contribution was this quarter? Just trying to get a sense of what organic growth was.
The interest income, you said?
Intrinsix. No?
Intrinsix.
P-- Intrinsix. Right now, we're looking at it as a one business model where we started off last quarter for the first time with this one month. We stated that it's new. But when we bought Intrinsix, it was around the $20 million run rate. We said in the first earnings call here with the combination. And plus minus is that those are the annual run rate. And the idea for us is not to as Gideon alluded earlier in the prepared remarks, is not just to tackle that market with NRE services, but also with the combination of integrated IP solution. And those are the things that we're working on. And hopefully, that run rate could increase when we offer more IPs to their existing and new customers in the future.
That's helpful. Yes, no, definitely. And just following up on that, were you about to quantify the opportunity within our aerospace and defense?
Well, this is roughly $6 billion market in a year in different chips shipments. And tens of billions of dollars in R&D projects. And the idea for us is to not just to get and to continue and to get larger share in this project, but more to drop in into OIP. And in such a case, you make a combination of IP and services into this one, and that becomes more typical to what we are doing today by licensing of the share of IP. The other approach is to go outside of the defense to large OEMs and to offer them customization of the IP that we have at CEVA. We call it integrated IP solution. It's a more comprehensive solution to the customer, and which -- the benefit for this is higher overall deal size and royalties. And that's exactly what we are doing in this.
Thanks, color. We can go back to the queue. Thank you.
Thank you, Tavy.
Our next question today comes from Suji Desilva at ROTH Capital. Please go ahead.
Suji Desilva -- ROTH Capital -- Analyst
Hello, Gideon. Congrats on the progress here and the diversification, certainly. A couple of questions about the base station IoT bucket. Now that Bluetooth is strong. I was curious the non-Bluetooth part of base station IoT. Gideon, what do you think are the best growth opportunities over the next several quarters in that? Because I think it's going to be an increasingly important segment to talk about, the non-Bluetooth base station IoT segment.
So in terms of shipment, there is shipment and there are trends in the market that I can expand on this later. So in terms of shipments, we talked about WiFi. WiFi is growing significantly in terms of units. You see we dramatically cellular IoT. That's another angle. Now that Europe is bringing up this one. It's -- and we have three customers there. So that's another one, computer vision, which comes together with AI. So these are active projects. And when you look year-over-year, it's a substantial growth, and that's a driver. Now we have excellent product for the TWS market where we see now in the licensing, this is what we call the Bluebud. But we expanded on that on the prepared remark, and we have now, I think, three or four licenses just in a very short period. And that will be a driver, in my opinion, in the second half of next year.
Okay, thanks. Gideon. And then on Bluetooth, it's just a large part of your units at this point. Is the ASP there relatively static? Or is there an opportunity to uplift the ASP through products as you go forward?
Excellent question, Suji. So the market itself is pretty stable there. It's really volume driven at this point because the price points are obviously the right place in order to tackle such a huge market and consumer and industrial and gaming and everything that's connected to Bluetooth. WiFi is making its first steps because of the advantages of the bandwidth and the technology has really evolved with audio and others. There, the ASPs are higher than, obviously, the Bluetooth. But the combination of higher ASPs overall for CEVA is either combo chips, and we have seen those Bluetooths and WiFi together these days. And on top of that, this is what Gideon talked about the Pico, which is adding either audio or audio and sensor fusion and then the royalties really jump up significantly.
So we have really enjoyed all the different flavors, I would say, of stand-alone Bluetooth, Bluetooth and WiFi and these other new technologies. And I think that's -- So the two new deals for TWS, the first one last quarter and the market is looking very, very hot. It's a nice prospect and achievement for us. Let me give you just an indication on the size of the market. The Bluetooth overall is about four billion units a year. And out of which 1.4 billion units is audio, Bluetooth or TWS. And that's exactly where we want to go because we can -- we're net position, but we will combine these two propositions that's exactly what we -- the reason that we build these blue budget. We can go to the largest market in the later and come out with a higher value. And as such, would be higher.
If I could take in one last question. Is the licensing at this run rate, the new level, never how should we think about that?
No, licensing revenues have increased for this product line. It's a new sort of combination of product for us. It's not a DSP per se, it's not Bluetooth. We are able to charge a premium for that. And I think it also saves money for the OEM or for the chip vendor because they need to deal with two different suppliers and vendors and chips and technologies, you integrate that into one I see. So it's a win-win for both sides, and the licensing activity has been very active grounded. If you look at CEVA, overall, for the first time, north of $20 million, $21 plus-million. These are number that we have never seen before, the old CEVA, and part of it is Intrinsix. Part of it is the new seal of new power kits and new opportunities.
And what we -- another benefit that we see with this licensing is that you get R&D leverage because we are talking about 69% on the nine months -- 69% in operating profit. You saw the volts down year-over-year, but when -- But when you look on the operating, you get substantially benefit.
Okay, thanks everybody.
Thank you, Suji.
And our next questions today come from Martin Yang at Oppenheimer. Please go ahead.
Martin Yang -- Oppenheimer -- Analyst
Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. First, I wanted to ask about your traction with customers on WiFi six? And how -- can you maybe give us more details on how the customers are using WiFi six? And what are the high-growth end market applications you're seeing for WiFi six?
Martin, it's Gideon. The way we see it today, WiFi it is what is called smart home. many Products would be TV, it could be smart speakers, could be security cameras. These are the main driver WiFi six. We start seeing automotive. We start seeing the industrial use cases, but smartphone is a big driver.
Got it, thanks. My second question is on your traction with smart EMs that are developing or in-house chips, is there any update there? And how have the impact do you think they might be developing their own chips in the current environment?
Your line is not that clear. Did you talk about smartphone or smart OEMs -- What's SmartFlow smartphone.
Smartphone OEM, you have signed the baseline and license agreement with you.
Yes. I mean in terms of landscape in the smartphones, it's pretty similar that used to be. So there are the few OEMs that internalize and do development, we are associated with some of them; some of them are being also. And there are not that many newcomers into the smartphone market. Now we have several other angles into the smartphone and also to the 5G. In terms of smartphone, we are getting into the smartphone to our Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology because all those smartphone need connectivity.
So we have several OEMs that are using our connectivity IP for smartphone and will ship and it's -- for us, it's indifferent, whether you do baseband or you do connectivity, doesn't matter. To some extent, we're getting higher royalties. So that's one of us. The other approach which I touched in the prepared out is what is called cellular IoT. So it is everything that relates to 5G that is not handset. So it could be net it could be fixed wireless access, which is a very big market. It could be a cellular VPX in automotive.
This is very -- these are very big m arket. And here, the opportunities are much more open, the market is much more fragmented, and the need for a company like us that comes with holistic solution with platform solution, not just component there and that can associate it with services, that's highly valued in this space. And we do get customers on that. I just mentioned three just in Europe that are actively working.
Thank you, Martin.
[Operator Instructions] Next question from Kevin Casey at Rosenblat Securities. Please go ahead.
Kevin Casey -- Rosenblat Securities -- Analyst
Thank you and congratulations on the strong results. I'm wondering if you have conversations with your customers about the supply tightness for next year. what kind of increase in unit shipments? Have they given you anything like this?
Kevin, it's kind of a $1 million question. People are completely split about the severity of this crisis. I mean, we just don't know. And just to give you an example, it looks like in the third quarter, only chip for iPhone manufacturing. And mobile android was put aside and people that are -- and it's completely different between nodes, between markets. I mean we for sure, we don't know, but I'm telling you that our customers don't know different people have different opinions. So we need to take it step by step, quarter by quarter and moving forward -- backward and see whether -- last year, we were in a better position and was positioned. But it's -- the supply chain is there, and it's unknown to almost everybody. And let's you are a big name and you can changes impact the defined with.
Okay, thanks. And how about visibility into 5G base station deployments? Do you -- are you seeing any of that coming in 2022?
Yaniv?
Let me say the driver in the market, the demand is the -- no doubt that the customers, which is the operator are waiting for chips, waiting for systems today. And when you look on a base station, it's not just where we are the baseband workload. It's a bunch of other chips, some of them are are, some of them are in the antenna side. There are systems, there are materials getting there is become complicit. So some of our customers publicly said, it's become challenging, we think we are on track. That's what I'll say.
But -- It goes back to your second previous question about when the supply chain we can see that we know what's going on. Right now, no, but the good news is that demand is there design wins out there, at least from our -- from our customers day standpoint is we need to take it quarter by quarter, try to help them as much as we can and hope for the best. More or less, we're reading the public data that you guys have access to, we don't have yet any specific or special information about 2022 for many of our these station customers or handset customers in that respect.
Okay, thank you very much.

Looking for a way to glam up your travel camera? Personalize your photo taker with a DIY camera strap! Whether you want to carry your camera around your neck or prefer a wrist-sized strap, look no further. We've got instructions for both.
Before making my first strap, I searched far and wide for ideas on how to make one with a professional finish to it. I'm a perfectionist, so I wasn't into the hand-sewing method used by many craft bloggers out there. With a combination of a couple great tutorials and my own ideas for keeping the quality top-notch, I came up with a process that produces nearly perfect results.
The best DIY camera strap posts I found in my perusing included The House That Lars Built and Chrissy Martin Photography.
NEW! Enroll in my video class for this project.
I've perfected my strap-making process and made some changes to the instructions I originally posted below. STG readers can enroll for FREE!
Whether you're making a wrist strap or a neck strap, the required materials are the same. You'll just need slightly less for a wrist strap.
See the "Pro-Quality Shopping Tips" section at the bottom of this post for help choosing materials.
There are several shapes that work for this. A simple rectangle works fine with a D-ring, and a bow-tie shape works better for a keyring. I've used the bow-tie shape for all of my straps so far, with D-rings and key rings. It should be symmetrical and at least 1.5″ wide when folded in half, and the center point should match the diameter of your hardware.
Make yourself a pattern and trace it onto the back side of your suede/leather (one for a wrist strap, two for a neck strap) and cut them out.
Start with an 18″ wide piece of material. (A little more or less is okay.) Fold it in half hotdog style, with right sides together. The material should now be 9″ wide with the wrong side facing out. Wrap the material around your neck or wrist to determine your desired length. Add 2″ to that length and make your cut.
Take your material, as folded above, and pin along the open edge (across from the folded edge).
Using standard thread in your machine, sew a zig-zag stitch along the length of the edge, about 3/4″ in. You should now have a tube. Turn right side out.
Lay your tube flat with the seam facing up in the center. Take one end of your tube and fold your fabric accordion-style so that it's about 1/2″ – 3/4″ thinner than the width of your suede/leather piece. Pin it. Place your pinned end on one side of your suede/leather to ensure that the fabric will fit within the edges of your suede/leather. (The leather should extend about 1/4″ to 3/8″ past the fabric on both sides.) Do the same on the opposite end of the tube.
Sew two lines parallel to the bottom edge of your strap, no further up than the suede/leather will reach.
Pro-Quality Tip: If your material has a tendency to fray along your cut edges at your strap's ends, run a glue stick over both sides of the ends and allow to dry. This will help prevent the material from fraying further.
Thread your machine with your heavy duty thread.
You won't be able to pin it, so keep everything in place while you transfer it to your machine for sewing.
Use the edge of your machine's foot as a guide. Line it up with the edge of your leather/suede, and start in the top center. Use the hand crank to sew toward the end, and when you near the other edge (with approx the same width remaining as the space between your sewn line and the leather's edge), stop with the needle down. Lift the foot and rotate the fabric 90 degrees. The right edge of the foot should again align with the edge of your leather. Continue sewing using the hand crank. When you make your next 90 degree turn, ensure that your foot will clear the hardware when you sew your next straight line across. Keep hand cranking and rotating until you've returned to where you started.
Pro-Quality Tip: At this point, I like to go just one stitch past where I started. I then cut my ends long enough so I can tie a knot with the starting threads on both sides. I'll then trim as close as possible to the knot and then use a small dot of leather glue to keep it from coming undone.
Repeat with the other side of your strap.
Use the edge of your machine's foot as a guide. Line it up with the edge of your leather/suede, and start in the top center. Use the hand crank to sew toward you, and when you approach the edge (with approx the same width remaining as the space between your sewn line and the leather's edge), stop with the needle down. Lift the foot and rotate the fabric 90 degrees. The right edge of the foot should again align with the edge of your leather (shown above). Continue sewing using the hand crank. When you make your next 90 degree turn, ensure that your foot will clear the hardware when you sew your next straight line across. Keep hand cranking and rotating until you've returned to where you started.
You're almost done! There's just a couple of things left to do to really make this a pro-quality DIY strap.
First, check your edges. Sometimes the sewing process can tweak the edges so they're no longer perfectly aligned after sewing. Carefully trim away extra leather/suede as necessary.
Next, use a small amount of leather glue to seal the inside edges of your leather/suede piece(s).
Congratulations! You've completed your pro-quality DIY camera strap.
I sometimes sell these camera straps on Etsy! If I'm not traveling internationally, chances are I may be available to make one. View my Etsy shop to find out!
FABRIC: If you're shopping for fabric, I've used both a light, sheer silky fabric (pictured above) and a standard smooth silk, and both ended in great results. The sheer material has a more lightweight feel and is easier to sew. (My neck strap made from this material is currently attached to my lightweight Lubitel 2, and my wrist strap is attached to my Sony a6000, as shown above.) The standard silk has a smoother feel and can hold a heavier camera more comfortably, but it would likely feel too hot on your skin on a summer day.
SUEDE COWHIDE: I've only used suede cowhide, as that's all I could find at Jo-Ann's, but most other tutorials use traditional leather. I'd imagine the buckskin may be a little easier to sew and more forgiving if you make a mistake. If you're just making one or two straps, you can get by with what I bought: suede cowhide elbow patches, available on Amazon or at Jo-Ann Fabrics. If you want to make several straps, it's considerably cheaper to buy online than at a craft store. This leather and this buckskin are both well-reviewed.
HARDWARE: Depending on your camera, you may want a D-ring/lobster clasp combo (shown above) or a simple key ring. The D-ring I used is about 1.5″ wide. You could go smaller for a smaller camera. Despite the attachment hardware you decide on, you'll need one for a wrist strap and two for a neck strap.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you've got a question or comment, reach out below, and if you want to share your finished strap, post a photo to our Facebook page.
Looks amazing! And I love your tutorial, you rock, girl! Thanks for the mention.
Beautiful! I'm inspired to make one!
Do you have a heavy duty machine? I've tried sewing leather before and my machine sounded … grumpy.
Nope, no heavy duty machine. In fact I think it was only around $100!
The secret is to just rotate your wheel to sew by hand. That gives you precision and allows you to stop if you feel like the needle is going to break rather than make it through.
Also, I think using the cowhide rather than traditional slick leather helps because it's a bit more porous and easier to sew.
I love this tutorial! I don't have a sewing machine but I am going to try to borrow someone's to do something like this. It looks soooo comfy to wear too.

Q: Free text categorization through grep in R I am an R newbie. I need to categorize free text (customer feedback) into given fixed number of categories. I am trying to run a small code to test the logic.
a<-c("a","b","c","d","e") # Category a - if the free text contains any of "a","b","c","d" or "e"
b<-c("f","g","h","i","j") # Category b - if the free text contains any of "f","g","h","i" or "j"
check<-c("a","g","d","j") # Free text to be categorized. "a" should be categorized as a; "g" as b; "d" as a and
                          # "j" as b
count<-length(check)
output<-vector(mode="list",length = count) # Empty categorized list - targeted output is (a,b,a,b)
for (i in 1:count) {
 output[i]<-ifelse(grepl(a,check[i]),"a",ifelse(grepl(b,check[i]),"b","other"))
}

I get the following warnings:
1. In grepl(a, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
2. In grepl(a, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
3. In grepl(b, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
4. In grepl(a, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
5. In grepl(b, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
6. In grepl(a, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
7. In grepl(b, check[i]) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

Output comes out as (a, other, other, other)
Either grepl is not the right function to use, or maybe there is a way to use vector pattern.
Request your help and guidance.

A: grepl complains because the 'pattern' (the first argument) contains multiple patterns instead of just one. One way to solve this would be to collapse your conditions into one regular expression (the | denotes 'or'), such as this:
a<-c("a","b","c","d","e") # Category a - if the free text contains any of "a","b","c","d" or "e"
b<-c("f","g","h","i","j") # Category b - if the free text contains any of "f","g","h","i" or "j"
check<-c("a","g","d","j") # Free text to be categorized. "a" should be categorized as a; "g" as b; "d" as a and
# "j" as b

# collapse regular expression
a <- paste(a, collapse = "|")
b <- paste(b, collapse = "|")

count<-length(check)
output<-vector(mode="list",length = count) # Empty categorized list - targeted output is (a,b,a,b)
for (i in 1:count) {
  output[i]<-ifelse(grepl(a,check[i]),"a",ifelse(grepl(b,check[i]),"b","other"))
}

output

which returns
[[1]]
[1] "a"

[[2]]
[1] "b"

[[3]]
[1] "a"

[[4]]
[1] "b"

A: This doesn't answer the question you asked, but...  It appears you may be re-inventing the wheel.  I suggest you check out

Our Lawrenceburg tire store was our first store in Indiana. At the time it was built, it meant that the Home of Free Alignment was officially operating in three states! The deals keep flowing and we keep growing!


The opening ceremony of the 17th 'Pride of Vietnamese Goods' promotional program by Saigon Commercial Cooperative Union was opened at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth's Cultural House on August 23.
Vietnam's leading supermarket chain has cooperated with more than 600 enterprises to offer a discount of 50 percent on 3,000 products. Saigon Co.op will present gift vouchers to customers and organize many attractive promotional activities during the program.
The event occurs in response to an campaign 'Sale Promotion Month 2014' and 'Be Vietnamese Buy Vietnamese goods' those are held by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.
Additionally a giant national flag pole asserting Vietnam's maritime sovereignty set the Vietnamese record for making of Vietnamese products in the ceremony.
This program will be applied for all Saigon Co-opMart supermarket chain stores across over the country.

Psychonauts 2 Compton's Cookoff Collectibles Guide
Here's how to find everything in Psychonauts 2's cooking show-inspired Compton's Cookoff.
By Steve Watts on September 2, 2021 at 1:05PM PDT
The mild-mannered Compton Boole's mind is inspired by an Iron Chef-style cooking game show in Psychonauts 2. When Raz enters the mind of the former member of the Psychic Six, he finds the cooking metaphor is the manifestation of all of Compton's self-doubts and imagined criticisms from his real-life Psychonaut friends. Fashioned after a game show set, the area is less linear than some others in the game. Instead, it's structured as a single open space with various cooking stations, so the collectibles are scattered around a relatively small area. Some Figments will only become available in certain rounds of the cooking segment, but otherwise you can find the collectibles anytime--including when you return in the post-game.
Here's how to find everything in Compton's Cookoff. Stay tuned for more Psychonauts 2 coverage and guides, including our rundown of all the collectibles in Loboto's Labyrinth, Hollis's Classroom, and Hollis' Hot Streak. And don't forget to check out our Psychonauts 2 review.
Compton's Cookoff Collectibles
Nuggets of Wisdom: 2
Memory Vaults: 2
Emotional Baggage: Duffle Bag, Suit Case, Purse, Hat Box, Steamer Trunk
Half-A-Minds: 2
Figments: 51
Compton's Cookoff is made up of a central stage area with audience stands, as well as four cooking stations. Those stations, from left to right, are Boiling, Blending, Skillet, and Chopping. These areas are each marked by an icon at the entrance to each area, and a series of grind rails and Mental Connection nodes link the areas to each other.
One thing that's notable for this area is that three collectibles are prizes awarded for completing the area's three cooking challenges within a time limit. If you fail to meet the time limit, the narrative will still move forward, but you won't receive the prize. Those prizes aren't lost forever, though, as coming back to the area after completing the game's main story campaign will have all of the prizes unlocked and ready to claim.
Purse Tag: In the stands among the audience you'll find the Purse Tag.
Purse: In the hot Skillet area tucked between the trail of hot cooking pads that lead up to the cooking station.
Hat Box Tag: Floating above one of the grind rails connecting the cooking stations.
Hat Box: In the Chopper area, just below the ramp.
Duffel Bag Tag: Use the Mental Connection power to grapple nodes at the bottom of the Boiling area. That will let you reach an area tucked away below and behind the main Boiling stage for this tag.
Duffel Bag: In the Chopping area, behind the pig's chopping arm.
Steamer Trunk Tag: This is the third and final prize for completing the last cooking challenge. It can be found in the Audience/Stage area. (If you miss the cooking challenge time, just return post-game to claim it.)
Steamer Trunk: At the bottom level of the Blending area, behind the blending canister.
Suitcase Tag: In the Skillet area tucked behind the large skillet logo.
Suitcase: On the bottom level of the Boiling area, tucked inside the path of pipes leading up to the trampoline.
Nugget of Wisdom: The audience stand between the Blender and Skillet area has a ramp behind it. You can find the Nugget of Wisdom on the ramp.
Nugget of Wisdom: At the very top of the Blender area, on top of the giant illuminated sign with the Blender icon, you can find this Nugget of Wisdom. However, you'll need the Dark Thoughts upgrade to reach it, since some of the Mental Connection nodes to reach the area are dark ones.
Memory Vault: This vault is on the left side of the Chopping area, near the pull-lever that you use to raise the chopping mechanism.
Memory Vault: At the bottom of the Blending area, near the button to activate the blender.
Half-A-Mind: This is the first prize for completing the first cooking challenge. It can be found in the Audience/Stage area. (If you miss the cooking challenge time, just return post-game to claim it.)
Half-A-Mind: This is the second prize for completing the second cooking challenge. It can be found in the Audience/Stage area. (If you miss the cooking challenge time, just return post-game to claim it.)

Q: Sqlsrv not reading the response of stored procedure I am using the sqlsrv driver and I have been getting data from the server just fine, using "sqlsrv_query" I have called many procedures and everything works fine, but it does not work with one procedure.
All the previous Stores Procedures just made selects to the database, but this one first inserts some info in the table and then it returns a value (I wonder if this is what is causing the issue). And here I can't read the value
I call the SP like this
$consulta = "exec TP_APP_WEB @CONTRATO = '2007061006201', @AFILIADO = '2007060389', @CODIGO_PRESTADOR = '00018', @OP = 'I'";
and then I execute the query using "sqlsrv_query" or "sqlsrv_execute"
and I am trying to read the response in many ways:
sqlsrv_fetch
sqlsrv_get_field
sqlsrv_fetch_object
sqlsrv_fetch_array
and none of them read the response.
I am getting no error, just empty rows, where the response should be.

A: Explanations:
One possible reason, that explains this unexpected behavior, is that your stored procedure probably returns multiple result sets. Use sqlsrv_next_result() to make each result active.
<?php
...
// Call stored procedure
$sql = "exec TP_APP_WEB @CONTRATO = '2007061006201', @AFILIADO = '2007060389', @CODIGO_PRESTADOR = '00018', @OP = 'I'";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($conn, $sql);
if ($stmt === false) {
    echo "Error (sqlsrv_query): ".print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true);
    exit;
}

// Fetch data
do {
    while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) {
        print_r($row, true);
    }
} while (sqlsrv_next_result($stmt));
...
?>

Notes:
If you have INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE statements, using SET NOCOUNT ON as first row in your stored procedure prevents sending information about the count of the affected rows as result set.


On Thursday, 27 November 2014 the beautiful Durban Country Club overlooking the Indian Ocean will play host to a charity golf day in aid of the Thokomala Orphan Care Organisation.
Thokomala aims to re-create family life and normality for orphaned and HIV infected or affected children by giving them the best possible chance for a better future.
The organisation is supported by Unilever South Africa, and currently houses 114 children and reaches a further 2000 through community outreach programmes, while also making access to a social worker more available where there was none before.
Education and Mentorship are important parts of Thokomala's model. One of Thokomala's big differentiators from other child care organisations is the funding of tertiary or professional skills training. Thokomala's mentorship programme engages adults to enter a long term commitment to guide teenage children from the age of 12 years. Mentors help the kids to make the right choices with regards to strengthening talents, further education, professional training and earning a living.
Antje Hockly, Manager for Thokomala said that through this initiative, the organisation has seen countless children's lives change for the better. 2014 saw a number of Thokomala beneficiaries excel beyond expectation.
To name just a few success stories - "Nombuso, a rebellious 14 year old teenager together with her two younger brothers was taken in at our Umlazi home in 2003. She is now a role model for all Thokomala kids having graduated as a Social Worker in April 2014 and promptly employed by Durban Children's Society.

First of all we would like to thank you all again for being a part of TestingCup 2018. Then we want to thank you for finding the time to complete the survey regarding TestingCup organisation.
Last few days we have spent reading each opinion, enjoying your positive expressions, discussing constructive comments, getting a lesson from critics.
In the survey we asked you to evaluate the overall impression of TestingCup organisation, the work of our Team, venue, preparation and organisation of the competition, the course of the conference (of lectures and workshops) and networking activities.
We are so proud that you appreciated the work of our Team. We are a group of people with huge enthusiasm and we are glad it could have been seen it the atmosphere during the event.
We must admit that you also enjoyed the interiors and architecture of Vienna House Andel's as well as the skills of their chefs.
However, perhaps the greatest pride is the fact how you rated this year's Championship, the only such event in Poland. The course of the competition as well as your opponent, Mr Buggy, collected very good reviews. We will share them detailed with you soon.
In your opinions you mentioned some technical issues that occurred especially during the conference. Thank you for all constructive criticism. It is a great lesson for us for the next editions of TestingCup.
We want to finish the summary with very positive information that most of you expressed the will to participate in TestingCup again.
What can we say? Thank you and see you next year!


Inflation is low and employment is high. But the Fed is still distorting capital markets. Stephen Moore doesn't appear to be the guy to fix it.
Opinion: Inflation is low and employment is high. But the Fed is still distorting capital markets. Stephen Moore doesn't appear to be the guy to fix it.
The nomination by President Donald Trump of Stephen Moore to the Fed's governing board.
The Federal Reserve, although nominally independent, is actually a creature of Congress. The Constitution invests authority over money in Congress.
Congress has given the Fed independent authority over money with directions to pursue two goals: low inflation and high employment.
By those measures, a stand-pat decision by the Fed would seem sensible: inflation is low and employment is high.
But there should be a third goal: not distorting capital markets and investment decisions. By that measure, the Fed's stand-pat decision is highly worrisome.
The Fed has set the interest rates it controls at 2 percent to 3 percent. That's below a historical norm of around 4 percent.
Artificially low interest rates lead to froth in equity markets, as what would otherwise be fixed-income investors are incentivized to chase higher returns in equities. They also encourage excessive borrowing.
There is a moral dimension to this as well. Buyers of fixed-income instruments tend to be smaller savers and risk-averse investors. It is morally wrong to artificially suppress the returns to small savers or incentivize people to take greater risks than they otherwise would find comfortable.
To provide monetary stimulus after the recession, the Fed went on a buying spree for federal government debt and mortgage-backed securities. Its balance sheet, or what it owns, blew up from less than a trillion dollars before the recession to $4.5 trillion at its highest point.
In late 2017, the Fed began to reduce what it owns, and its balance is now around $4 trillion. But it recently announced that it would stop shedding its portfolio this fall. Further reductions in the interim will be modest. That would leave the Fed's presence in capital markets at an unprecedented high.
Right now, the Fed owns $2.2 trillion of federal debt and $1.6 trillion of mortgage-backed securities.
By being such a massive buyer, the Fed has artificially reduced the returns on federal debt and mortgage-backed securities. That helps enable the president and Congress to continue improvident borrowing and induces over-investment in housing.
Federal debt instruments and mortgage-backed securities are preferred options for small savers and risk-averse investors. So, the same moral wrong is being compounded here.
While the Fed will stop reducing its balance sheet this fall, it intends gradually to replace its mortgage-backed securities with even more federal debt instruments. The Fed already owns roughly 10 percent of what the federal government owes. The Fed is an agency of the federal government. So, the federal government is basically purporting to buy its own debt. That's a dangerous path.
The dual goal given to the Fed by Congress, as well as public expectations, have given the Fed a short-term focus. It sees its role as fine-tuning the economy meeting to meeting.
But the massive monetary stimulus the Fed has embarked on, and now plans to sustain, chronically failed to produce the short-term results it projected.
Instead, the focus should be on conducting monetary policy in a way that facilitates long-term growth. That means not only controlling inflation but also being as neutral as possible regarding capital markets and investment decisions. Doing those two things would also maximize employment over time.
Which leads to Moore's nomination.
Moore is a controversial figure in economic circles, particularly his role in documenting the relationship between economic growth and low tax rates. I believe his work to be first-rate and sound. But in academic circles, he is seen more as an advocate than a scholar. Even some conservative economists have questioned whether he has the expertise to be a Fed governor.
The academic economists, however, have led us to this oversized and distorting presence of the Fed in capital markets. A disruptive advocate for downsizing and focusing on the long-term might be a useful addition.
Unfortunately, of late, Moore has sharply criticized the Fed for the minor steps it has taken toward neutrality in capital markets. That's a surprise, since Moore historically has been a sound money guy.
Trump is an easy money guy. Although the claim that Moore would be a Trump toady on the Fed is unfair – Moore is fiercely intellectually independent – he appears to now favor abandoning moving toward long-term neutrality in capital markets for short-term GDP gains.
That's not the kind of disruptive advocate the Fed needs at the moment.

SF Biotech Venture Vet Steve Burrill Dumped by LPs, Sued for Fraud
There's more turmoil for G. Steven Burrill, the former accountant who has run a San Francisco biotech finance group under his own name for two decades.
Burrill, known for his natty suits and pink shirts, is being sued for fraud by a former colleague for allegedly taking cash meant for investment and diverting it to his own "designees and affiliates."
That's according to a lawsuit filed in California state court last week and first reported by Forbes this morning. Burrill's alleged conduct also led his limited partners—his investors—to oust him this March from control of Burrill & Co.'s third general venture fund, which has raised $283 million, according to court documents.
Burrill could not be reached immediately for comment. (You can see the lawsuit, without its exhibits, here.)
The revelations come six months after Xconomy reported that Burrill's latest fund, his fourth, fell well short of the $505 million mark Burrill had originally announced. At $200 million, the fund is also no longer under Burrill's control. He transferred his ownership stake in the fund late last year to a new entity called Biomark Capital, run by former Burrill colleagues, as Xconomy reported.
The new lawsuit revolves around activities related to previous funds, however. The accuser is Ann Hanham, who worked at Burrill & Co. for 13 years, most of the time as a managing director of Fund II and Fund III. In 2013, she and others discovered that $20 million raised for the firm's third general venture fund had "gone missing," according to Hanham's lawsuit, and had been "diverted from Fund III to Burrill and/or various Burrill entities over a period of several years, ostensibly (1) "to 'prepay' for management services not yet rendered, and (2) to fund unspecified and unauthorized loans," the court filing says.
Victor Hebert, a lawyer who has worked with Burrill & Co. for years, first as outside counsel and then on staff, and Helena Sen, the firm's chief financial officer, are also named as defendants, as are Burrill & Co. and Burrill Capital themselves.
After Hanham and her fellow managing directors Roger Wyse and Bryant Fong brought the situation to Burrill's attention in September 2013, according to the lawsuit, they received a written response that Burrill and Hebert were "endeavoring to repay" the funds. (Wyse and Fong are not party to the lawsuit.)
Meanwhile, Burrill was pressuring Hanham and others to find new streams of revenue for the firm to make up the gap, according to an e-mail cited by the plaintiff in her lawsuit. Whennone of the cash had been repaid by late October of 2013, according to the filing, Hanham, Wyse, and Fong alerted the fund's advisory committee, "outlining the improper transactions and addressing the potential implications for investors." The letter to the committee said, for one: "As a result of these transactions, the GP understands that… Fund [III] lacks sufficient callable capital to carry out its intended follow on investment program with the result that the value of… Fund [III]'s investment portfolio may be jeopardized unless… Fund [III] develops new sources of capital."
Hanham claims in the lawsuit that she was fired a few days later after a "livid" Burrill found out about the letter to the advisory committee, and that the defendants took other steps to cause her "gratuitous" financial harm, such as shortchanging her on proceeds from the firm's second fund.
That second fund, which invested $210 million between 2001 and 2006, according to court documents, gave Burrill one of the biggest biotech investment wins of the past decade, when Gilead Sciences bought the portfolio company Pharmasset for $11 billion in 2011. Burrill & Co. owned 5.7% of the company at the time, according to a proxy filing.
It was a shocking amount of cash, but Gilead turned Pharmasset's lead drug, then just starting Phase III trials , into sofosbuvir (Sovaldi), which was approved for market in December 2013 and could change the way hepatitis C is treated. Sovaldi, with its $1,000-a-pill price tag, has also become a lightning rod for criticism from those who think drug prices have spiraled out of control.
With Burrill removed from Fund III, Hanham, Wyse, and Fong are now temporary stewards of the fund, working under the name BAR Capital.
Fong is also involved in Biomark, which took control of Burrill's fourth fund late last year. At the head of Biomark is David Wetherell, who joined Burrill in 2011 from his own venture firm GBP Capital. At the time of the split, Burrill told Xconomy that the firm was "right-sizing." Burrill has dabbled for years in other areas beyond venture, running a boutique investment bank, generating research reports and industry data, and publishing books and magazines. Always high-profile, Burrill is still on the schedule, as of mid-day Wednesday, to give his annual state-of-the-industry report at the BIO conference next week in San Diego.

Since the WWE decided to air a mixture of two old episodes in one, the review is going to come off sounding a little hacked up. Don't blame me.
Gene already pisses me off by tracking the World Heavyweight Title back to George Hackensmidt. It's a different title altogether you jackass.
Eric Bischoff: The title starts in the NWA. Well, that's more truthful than what Mean Gene said.
JR drops a few names like Buddy Rogers, Gene Kiniski, and Harley Race.
Ric Flair: The belt that was used from 1966-1986 was owned by the NWA. Whoever won that version of the title would have to put a $25,000 deposit down on the belt. That added even more prestige to the title. Vince Sr. used to actually sit on the NWA Board of Directors, even though he separated from the company and became their competition. The reason for this was that Vince Sr. had a great mind for the business. What I want to know is whether or not McMahon sabotaged the NWA while on the Board.
Eric Bischoff: Once Ted Turner bought the NWA, it's title became the WCW Title.
Flair and the Big Show talk about how the Champ has to carry the company.
Gene introduces a new segment to the show; Choice Cuts. This segment is devoted to WWE Superstar's favorite matches. For the first installment we watch ::sighs:: Bradshaw's favorite match.
This is clipped of course, so there will be no real PBP. The match is most famous for the ring literally falling apart. As Farooq whips Billy to the ropes, the top rope breaks. Farooq thought Billy may have been hurt, but that didn't stop him from beating the hell out of Gunn. Next up, Faarooq pulls off the top turnbuckle and gets rolled up for 2. This of course means that majority of the top rope is now laying in the ring. Farooq follows up by nailing Gunn with the corner. Meanwhile, the Road Dogg hides in the corner. Bradshaw likes this match because it shows that they had to use what they had. Afterwards, Vince gave them the thumbs up in the back. The funny thing is that most of the match was Farooq vs. Billy, so Bradshaw did practically nothing.
Booker T does a Hungry Man XXL commercial. I hate these "Making of the Commercial" segments. The stockboy who walks past Booker is actually a fan who won a contest. Booker is supposed to slam a freezer door in the supermarket so hard that it breaks. The gimmicked glass it too thick though, so as Booker slams it, someone hits it with a hammer. Booker reminisces about the time Stone Cold beat the hell out of him in a supermarket.
Eric Bischoff on Goldberg: It would have been nice if he had more experience.
Big Show on Goldberg: He made money, saved money, and is set for life.
Eric Bischoff on DDP: I'm friends with DDP. I just wanted this so much for him and for it all to work out.
Ric Flair on DDP: He believed that he was good enough to be there and sometimes that's all that matters.
Eric Bischoff on Sting: He wasn't committed 100%. It always seemed like he was holding something back.
Ric Flair on Sting: Too bad he never worked for Vince McMahon. He would have been a star in the WWF.
Ric Flair on Hulk Hogan: Hulk Hogan is the man, which we all found out at WrestleMania X-8.
A "Classy" Freddie Blassie story. Freddie spends a decent portion of his time visiting the Salvation Army and talking to the veterans who stay there. He has been doing this for 10 years. One of the guys, Javier, is glad that someone really cares about him and the other men. They always look forward to the days Freddie stops by. Blassie donates WWE magazines, autographs, and his own free time. In hindsight, the only thing he would change would be the second wife. Freddie talks about a few of his former charges. "I managed some losers. No one else wanted them, so they would give them to Freddie." This was a great feel-good kind of segment. It was also nice that now current fans won't only remember Freddie as the guy Stephanie and Shane McMahon wished death upon during the InVasion angle.
Torrie Wilson tours England after promoting the upcoming Rebellion PPV. Blah.
Honestly I didn't actually watch this episode again on Saturday night. However based on the numbers it must have been more interesting than majority of the original episodes we have seen over the past several months.


Few brides and grooms found their wedding planning process to be stress-free. Sometimes, suggestions from family and friends can cause and interference, making the planning more difficult. The following article will show you some great advice so you can enjoy your day and maintain your sanity.
It is obvious that that most important aspect to think about in a marriage is the one whom you will marry. Don't rush into this decision. Weigh everything you know about your loved one, and think about everything involved with living with this person forever.
When you are planning your wedding festivities, think hard about the kinds of alcoholic beverages that are going to be available, and also how much of a price tag they will carry. For example, an open bar can cost you an arm and a leg, especially if it's open throughout your reception. With only a quick question, your venue should be able to provide you with their alcohol serving options.
Your guests shouldn't wait while you are having pictures taken. The bride, groom and wedding party should take the photos in advance. Pictures with those being wed and their parents should also be taken beforehand if possible.
When choosing a venue for your wedding reception, check to see if the lighting is able to be dimmed. Certain occasions throughout the evening will call for their own separate mood and lighting, such as a first dance or cutting of the cake. Inquire about details, such as lighting, before you decide on a reception venue.
If you decide to cater your own wedding party, go to the big wholesale stores, like Costco. Wholesale shopping will let you get food for cheaper. You may even ask for help with food costs from family or friends.
If your wedding includes a colorful cake that will be its own focal point, use rich, coordinating fabric beneath it to set it off. The right piece of fabric can create a stunning display that makes the cake stand out even more. You can select from a variety of fabrics, including velvet, satin or silk. Likewise, you can choose a solid color or go with something textured or patterned.
Ask someone to borrow an item to wear on your big day. Not only does borrowing jewelry help you perfect your look without spending extra money, but your friend will be honored to contribute to your appearance on your wedding day.
You should be congratulated on making this far. If you haven't thrown up your hands in frustration yet, you will probably make it to the wedding day. This day belongs to only two and nothing should change that in any way. Use the tips you've just read to have a great wedding.
When you are planning on who will be giving the speeches at the wedding, have them rehearse the material before you so that you can make sure everything is appropriate. Remember that your guests will include people across a wide range of ages, and a joke that younger generations find amusing might be offensive to older guests.


Get ready to paddle back to the pier on your kayak, and during the journey look for pelicans, flying fish or other marine life. Upon returning to the pier, you'll head back to base camp to enjoy a little conversation over a delicious homemade meal. Easier than river kayaking; this Manuel Antonio tour does not require previous experience.
What to Bring: Suntan lotion, sunglasses with retainer cord, camera, hat/visor and beach towel.
Tour Includes: Transportation from and to hotel, bilingual guides, beverages and lunch or dinner.
No previous experience required, sea kayaking is much easier than river kayaking.

McBroom bill retaining 95-A District Court judgeship in Menominee County signed by governor
LANSING, Mich. — Legislation sponsored by Sen. Ed McBroom to save the 95-A District Court judgeship in Menominee County from elimination was signed into law on Thursday.
Senate Bill 87, now Public Act 1 of 2019, reverses a 2012 law that eliminated the position, which was based on a State Court Administrator's Office (SCAO) Judicial Resources Recommendation (JRR) calling for the removal based on data and statistical analysis from 2008-2010. The position was to be eliminated on March 31.
"I appreciate the support of my colleagues from both sides of the political divide for recognizing the importance of keeping the 95-A judge and for their quick action in getting the bill approved, especially Representative Beau LaFave who sponsored an identical bill in the House, and Representatives Greg Markkanen and Sara Cambensy," said McBroom, R-Vulcan. "I also would like to thank Governor Whitmer for her support in signing the bill — her first— as this was vital to preserving the due process rights of Upper Peninsula residents."
Statistics show the situation has changed, with felony filings in the Menominee District Court having significantly increased over the past eight years, prompting the legislation, and validating concerns McBroom expressed in 2011.
"I am grateful that everyone was able to come together collaboratively to ensure retention of this seat," McBroom said. "We were fortunate to have strong support from the judges in the Upper Peninsula, including leadership from Judge Ninomiya and assistance from the local counties and U.P. Judges Association.
"The local justice system faces new challenges and, coupled with the geographic realities in the Upper Peninsula, now was the right time to ensure residents have timely access to our courts."
Video of McBroom discussing the new law is available at https://www.senatoredmcbroom.com/video/.
Photo caption: Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, looks on as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signs Senate Bill 87 on Thursday, March 21. The legislation saves the 95-A District Court judgeship in Menominee County from elimination.

Sara Cambensy; Dickinson County Circuit Judge Chris Ninomiya and his wife Mary; Dickinson County Circuit Judge Mary Barglind; Dickinson County Probate Judge Thomas Slagle; state Supreme Court Justice Beth Clement; Menominee County Board Chairman Jerry Piche; Menominee County Controller Jason Carviou; State Court Administrators Office staff, Tom Clement and Jerry Kole; and Meghann Keit of the Michigan Association of Counties.

Holding Up the Universe
Von: Jennifer Niven
Gesprochen von: Jorjeana Marie, Robbie Daymond
Spieldauer: 9 Std. und 3 Min.
Kategorien: Jugendliche & Heranwachsende, Literatur & Belletristik
From the author of the New York Times best-seller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone - and love someone - for who they truly are.
Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed "America's Fattest Teen". But no one's taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom's death, she's been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now Libby's ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for every possibility life has to offer. In that moment I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.
Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he's got swagger, but he's also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: He can't recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He's the guy who can reengineer and rebuild anything in new and badass ways, but he can't understand what's going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don't get too close to anyone.
Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game - which lands them in group counseling and community service - Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.
Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are - and seeing them right back.

Liked the idea very much, but found the end a bit underwhelming. Not as good as "All the bright places" from Niven.
A nice story about a strong girl
I really like the stories different components and that it didnt center around the romance. I think the auther did a good job on showing how hurtful comments about someone's size can be, how important it is to speek up if someone is discriminated against and that no matter how perfect someone's life may seem they still might have some issues they are fighting (in secret).
Overall it was a nice story that didn't center around the love story. Sometimes I would have wished for a little more variety but I guess the auther's intention was to focus on the body shaming and all its effects, as well as on the face blindness.
Maby I wouldn't have missed some variety if I would have liked Libby's voice better. Or I'm a little too old.
The male narrator did a good job. He managed to let Jack appear cool and cocky, he showed Jack's insecurities, his emotions and what a nice guy Jack acutally is.
The female narrator didn't do Libby justice in my opinion. Libby has insecurities but overall she is an incredibly strong girl. Unfortunately the voice wasn't illustrating her strength. Most of the time she had a faint and insecure voice which often made me forget that Libby is a strong and smart character. The voice would have been better suited for the typical (annoying) love story girl character that is always winig about not being pretty enough and not understanding at all why the "hot" boy would even look at her but not for a girl that has something to tell the world. If she would have had a stronger and more mature voice Libby's character would have had more depth, I think. The depth the author has given her.
