In April 2014, then U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana nominated Dr. Simpkins for the Presidential Citizenship Medal which is the nation's second highest civilian honor. In her appointment letter, she noted that, consistent with Presidential Executive Order 11494, Dr. Simpkins clearly "performed exemplary deeds of service" for this country and his fellow citizens. Furthermore, she indicated that, as with others receiving his honor, he had a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of others.
Offered service which has had a sustained impact on others' lives and provided inspiration for others to serve.

Q: finding most frequent words in matlab I have a matrix like below:
temp=[1     1     6;
      1     2     6;
      1     3     7;
      1     4     1;
      2     1     1;
      2     2     2;
      2     3     5;
      2     4     6;
      3     1     4;
      3     2     3;
      3     3     5;
      3     4     7;];

First column represent the document_id, second column represents word_id and third column represents its occurrence in the document_id.
I want to find the top 3 words in terms of their frequencies in the entire documents. Rather than just using lots of loops, what is a better way to do this in Matlab?
I have an initial idea of using:
sorted=sortrows(temp, 2)

I guess histcount or accumarray could help me but not sure how?

A: WoW! This was the answer I was looking for:
sortrows(splitapply(@sum, sorted(:, 3), findgroups(sorted(:, 2))), -1)
ans =

    17
    14
    11
    11

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/splitapply.html
**Update1: actually NOT. Because it doesn't tell me which word_id from the second column are creating this
**Update2: while I can get the highest frequency word_id, I cannot get the top 3 frequency word_ids using the following method:
>> [index, max_val] =max(splitapply(@sum, sorted(:, 3), findgroups(sorted(:, 2))))

index =

    17

max_val =

     3

Correct final answer:
>> [frequencies, original_positions] = sort(splitapply(@sum, sorted(:, 3), findgroups(sorted(:, 2))), 'descend')

frequencies =

    17
    14
    11
    11

original_positions =

     3
     4
     1
     2

A: If you're interested in a solution with accumarray (as you expected), there you go:
[Pos, ~, ind] = unique(temp(:,2));   %Finding unique word IDs (unsorted)
freq = accumarray(ind, temp(:,3));   %Frequencies             (unsorted)

To get the top 3. Sort the frequencies in descending order and extract the values at first three indices (or sort in ascending order and extract the values at last three indices).
PosFreq = sortrows([Pos freq], 2, 'descend');  %Sorting according to frequencies
Top3PosFreq = PosFreq(1:3,:);                  %Extracting top three frequencies

Result:
Top3PosFreq =

     3    17
     4    14
     1    11

Average tax burdens in OECD countries have risen, experts say. In fact, after a brief reduction from 2001 to 2004, the annual Revenue Statistics shows that tax revenues as a percentage of GDP are back at the historic highs of 2000.
The average tax burden in the 30 OECD countries reached 36.2% of GDP in 2005, the latest year for which complete figures are available, up from 35.5% in 2004 and level with the historical high of 36.2% recorded in 2000. Three countries–Italy, Ireland and Korea–saw their tax burdens rise by more than a percentage point between 2005 and 2006.
The latest figures for the OECD area showed a slight increase in the proportion of revenue collected from general consumption taxes, such as value-added taxes (VAT) and sales taxes, from 6.7% of GDP in 2000 to 6.9% of GDP in 2005.

Some countries and financial centres still fall short of meeting international standards developed over the last seven years to improve transparency and cooperation in combating offshore tax evasion, say two new OECD studies.
Although the reports, Improving Access to Bank Information for Tax Purposes – the 2007 Progress Report and Tax Co-operation: Towards a Level Playing Field – 2007 Assessment by the Global Forum on Taxation, acknowledge the progress made in certain financial centres, they argue that further reform is needed in many others.
Significant restrictions on access to bank information for tax purposes remain in three OECD countries, Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland, and in a number of offshore financial centres, such as Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Panama and Singapore.
Moreover, a number of offshore financial centres that have committed to implement standards on transparency and the effective exchange of information, developed by the OECD's Global Forum on Taxation, have failed to do so, according to the studies from the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy and Administration.
Lack of transparency and a failure to co-operate internationally create conditions that can be exploited by dishonest taxpayers to evade their tax obligations, and can prevent governments from lowering tax burdens for honest taxpayers.

Economic expansion will slow in the OECD area, the latest OECD composite leading indicators show. The leading indicators for August 2007 show weakening performance in the six-month rate of change, which evens out oscillations, for the top seven OECD economies. The indicator for the OECD area fell by 0.6 point in August, and its six-month rate of change was down for the second month in a row. The euro area leading indicators fell by 0.5 point in August, with a downward trend in its six-month rate of change since June 2006. The latest data point to moderating expansion in China, India and Brazil, too, but an improved outlook for Russia.
The OECD composite leading indicators incorporate a wide range of data, such as building permits, order flows, long-term interest rates and sentiment surveys in a bid to deliver early signals of forthcoming trends in economic activity.
Slowing ahead?

Inflation fell slightly as consumer prices rose by 1.8% in the OECD area in the year to August 2007, compared with 2% in the year to July 2007. On a monthly basis, the price level declined by 0.1% between July and August 2007 after no change between June and July. Consumer prices for energy decreased by 1.3% year-on-year in August against a rise of 0.8% in July.
However, unit labour costs in market services rose by an average of 0.7% in OECD economies in the second quarter of 2007. Growth for the quarter in the US was 1.1%, in France 0.8%, in the UK 0.1%, there was no change in Germany, and in Japan labour costs fell by 0.4%.
Unit labour costs in industry rose slightly in OECD economies in the second quarter of 2007, at an average of 0.2%. A rise in unit labour costs indicates that growth in average pay exceeds growth in labour productivity, which may create upward pressure on producer prices. OECD unit labour costs are now published quarterly.
Trade growth slowed in the G7 countries for the second quarter of 2007. Growth in goods trade volume slipped to a seasonallyadjusted 0.4% for exports while imports fell 0.4%. The US saw its quarter-on-quarter exports grow by 1.5%, Japan's grew by 1.4% and Germany's fell by 1.6%. Japan's imports declined by 1.6%, Germany's fell by 1.9% and US imports declined by 0.6%. On a year-to-year basis, G7 trade volumes continued to grow at lower rates, with both exports and imports up 2.3%.
In 2006 the total exports of goods and services of the 30 OECD countries amounted to US$9.5 trillion ($5.7 trillion for the G7), while imports were higher at $10.1 trillion ($6.4 trillion for the G7). Goods accounted for 78% of OECD exports of goods and services and 81% of imports. Exports of goods and services in OECD countries, measured in current US$, rose by a seasonallyadjusted 3.9% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2007 and imports rose 3.5%. Year-on-year export growth slowed to 12.5%, while import growth eased to 10.1%.
The unemployment rate for the OECD area was 5.4% in August 2007, the same as the previous month, though 0.6 percentage point lower than a year earlier. In the euro area, the standarised rate was 6.9% in August 2007, also the same as the previous month and 0.9 percentage point lower than a year earlier. The US rate was 4.7% in September 2007, 0.1 percentage point higher than the previous month, and up 0.1 percentage point on a year earlier.

Development assistance is not just about how much aid is donated, but how it is managed and spent. The trouble is many recipient countries lack the strong institutional services OECD countries take for granted, such as fiscal customs and legal departments, needed to invest aid effectively.
A new initiative has just been launched to help address such weaknesses. Called the Partnership for Democratic Governance (PDG), it will assist those developing countries that need help to improve governance, strengthen capacity and deliver the services that are essential supports of effective democratic government.
The launch of the PDG was held at the UN headquarters in New York on 1 October, 2007. Among those in attendance were US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría (our photo). Secretary of State Rice hailed the initiative as the first concerted effort to determine how the international community can help developing country governments, notably by providing them with temporary international personnel. "Long after the good work of the Partnership for Democratic Governance is done, what will endure are stronger, more capable institutions in democratic developing countries," the US secretary of state said.
The PDG's founding members are Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Turkey and the US, as well as the OECD, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB).

It is 10 years since the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, also known as the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, was adopted, on 21 November 1997.
To mark the occasion, the government of Italy and the OECD Working Group on Bribery are hosting a special event in Rome on 21 November 2007. The event will provide an important and timely opportunity to foster broader public understanding and support of the Convention. It will also offer governments a chance to show how they have strengthened their anti-bribery legislation and systems to level the playing field for international business.
See www.oecd.org/bribery/anniversary or email anti-corruption.contact@oecd.org. See also OECD Observer No. 261, March 2007.
Chile should promptly adopt the necessary national legislation to improve its compliance with its international obligations under the Anti-Bribery Convention, according to a new report by the OECD Working Group on Bribery. While the Working Group notes that Chile has recently engaged in efforts to implement the Convention, it is seriously concerned that Chile has not responded to key recommendations. These include amending the law to introduce corporate liability for foreign bribery, significantly increasing sanctions for foreign bribery, ensuring that its courts have territorial jurisdiction over foreign bribery, and facilitating the lifting of bank secrecy in foreign bribery cases. In addition to the regular follow-up processes, the Working Group has exceptionally decided to review Chile's legislation again one year from now.
Argentina's last-minute postponement of the inspection by an anti-bribery evaluation team has also caused concern. One of 34 adherents to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, Argentina was expected to receive a team of experts on 24-28 September 2007 to monitor compliance in implementing the Convention's statutes. Argentina is the second country to have postponed such an inspection. The visit has now been rescheduled for 10-14 December 2007.

The world's major civil aircraft exporting countries have announced a landmark agreement limiting government support for export deals. Signatories include both OECD countries and Brazil, which is not an OECD member and is joining a pact of this kind for the first time. It is also the first time that a non-OECD country has joined OECD countries in a trade agreement relating to export credits. In recent years, official export credit support for civil aircraft sales has covered deals valued at between $7 billion and $10 billion annually. This created some market distortions which the new pact should help to straighten out, experts believe.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría hailed the accord as a breakthrough in international trade diplomacy in what is a highly competitive sector. "By creating a level playing field in official support for export deals, the agreement will focus competition for sales of civil aircraft on price and quality instead of on levels of government support," Mr Gurría said.

New Zealand should strengthen its support for research and innovation to boost economic growth, says a recent OECD report. Despite open and flexible markets and world-class research, GDP per head still lags behind the OECD average, the report says.
New Zealand's situation reflects its geographical isolation, but also the small size of many firms which find it difficult to compete in world markets. And though the number of researchers has been growing fast in such smaller firms, overall investment in business R&D was still less than a third of the OECD average, the report found. New Zealand should focus on: promoting innovation in the business sector; and improving the environment for innovation, the effectiveness of competitive research funding, and the governance of the innovation system.

Government support to farmers in OECD countries represented 27% of total farm receipts in 2006, a slight fall from the 29% share the previous year, says a new OECD report. The drop was due mainly to rising world food prices rather than changes in government subsidy policies, as less aid was needed to prop up domestic prices.
According to the OECD report, Agricultural Policies in OECD Countries: Monitoring and Evaluation, subsidies to farmers throughout the OECD remain high, amounting to nearly US$268 billion in 2006. Crop and livestock prices in OECD countries were on average 21% higher than world market prices. Subsidy levels vary widely across the OECD–from 1% of farm receipts in New Zealand to more than 60% in Iceland, Norway, Korea and Switzerland. In the EU, farm receipts provided by governments fell by a percentage point to 32% in 2006. Support to US farmers fell to 11% of farm receipts last year from 16% in 2005.
Reducing agricultural subsidies for farmers in developed countries both lowers prices for consumers and offers farmers in developing countries fairer access to world markets, the authors argue. The EU's Single Payment Scheme for farmers introduced over the past two years is an important step in reducing the production and trade distortions caused by high levels of support, the report found.

The unmistakable Château de la Muette at OECD headquarters in Paris is reflected in the windows of the new conference centre expected to be open for business in January 2008. The OECD headquarters renewal project also includes renovation of the 1922 château, completed in 2005, and of the main OECD office building, which is expected to re-open fully in 2009. A French-American team of architects—SCAU Macary, Menu & Delamain, and Pei, Cobb, Freed & Partners—is leading the project, which began in 2003. For more information contact observer@oecd.org.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría has received the first ever "Globalist of the Year" award from the Canadian International Council for his contribution to innovation in global governance and international affairs. The award was presented by the CIC's chair, Co-CEO of Research in Motion, Jim Balsillie. The CIC was established earlier this year as a partnership between the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto, with a mission to support studies tackling major foreign policy issues in such areas as energy, trade and arms control.
Accepting the award at a ceremony in Toronto, Mr Gurría stressed his determination to reinforce the OECD's role as a hub for global dialogue between governments, business and civil society.
EU member states need to provide a fresh impetus to clear the rules and red tape which are stifling competition and blocking cross-border trade and investment. This is a key message in the OECD's first-ever Economic Survey of the European Union, published this autumn.
The services sector is the main weak spot in the EU's internal market, the report finds. The EU Services Directive, to be implemented by end 2009, may help create Europe-wide markets, but only if member governments stop protecting service providers from outside competition.
Competition could also be strengthened in electricity, gas, telecoms, transport, ports, postal services and other so-called network industries. More competition in energy markets in particular would be generated by better linking national markets to create regional markets or a pan-European one, while networks should be separated from generation and supply activities.
The report highlights good progress in financial markets but calls for changes to Europe's still fragmented banking industry. The report also calls for farm support to be cut and made less marketdistorting. The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in 2003 was a step forward, but the link between subsidies and farm production needs to be broken completely.
The first EU survey is timely because 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. Most EU members are also OECD members and by one estimate around half of new national legislation is driven or shaped by Brussels. The EU is the world's biggest economy and the biggest exporter.

Here is a new spreadsheet that lists all installed programs. It does this by enumerating registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
This spreadsheet works on 32-bit and 64-bit Excel.
For 64-bit Windows, is HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ a better place to pull installed applications from?
@earthsound Are you asking for 64-bit Excel on 64-bit Windows?
I'm not at a 64-bit machine right now, but I was under the impression that HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ may contain applications that may not be found in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall due to the difference in where 32-bit and 64-bit applications' keys are stored, whether the keys are redirected or mapped, and which version of Windows you're running.
@earthsound Ah yes, now I understand what you mean, excellent point. I overlooked the fact that on Windows 64-bit, 32-bit installation programs will actually register the installation in key HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (from a 64-bit viewpoint).
So I have to adapt the 64-bit part of the code to include this key (I need to check both keys in 64-bit Excel).
@Paul I'm releasing a new version soon.
Can you flick me a mail with it when you do? I'm releasing new iKAT at XCon 2012 next month in China, so in the next few weeks would be super.
I also have a few new nifty SRP bypass tools in the new iKAT you might be interested in.

Q: Libgdx native TextInput limit text Length I am writing a game using Libgdx. I used what was suggested here to handle virtual keyboard when user enters player names. This actually works like a charm. However if user enters more than 8 characters in a name field, it breaks the UI design of my game. So I want to prevent user from entering more than 8 characters.
TextField has a setMaxLength method as defined here. If I set this value to 8, no matter what user enters, the first 8 characters are put in my text field. But this is kind of annoying and misleading because user can still enter, let's say 20 characters without having a clue that the only first 8 will be used.
So, my question is whether there is a mechanism to stop user entering more than 8 characters even if I use "native" way of handling TextField inputs.
Thanks in advance.

A: I tested this just before typing to you, so I know it works. The below code will make it so your textfield will only allow for you to enter in 8 characters into the TextField widget. Be careful though, some characters are larger (in length) than others ( chars like - are short ).
textField.setMaxLength(8);  // Maximum chars will be 8
textField.setAlignment(1);  // If you wanted to center the text
                            //     (1 = Center, 2 = Right Align)

On another note, if you are adding the TextField to a table, you can change the visible width of the widget.
table.add(textField).width(50);  // I believe this is in pixels

You didn't really give me much to go off from (no code), so I hope this answer helps you out.
Best of luck with your game!

As I told you in my voting is open post, I entered two things into October's Made It Challenge by Woolhogs. People can vote for their favourite, and as you can see by visiting this page and scrolling down to the bottom, my teacup pincushion got the most votes!
The winner is actually chosen by random by inlinz. In October they chose these fab lighthouses by Made by Patch.
I am now planning my entry for November…!
I entered two things into Woolhogs October Made It Challenge.
I entered my teacup pincushion as this is by far my most popular post ever.
I also entered my felted soap. I hadn't seen much like it in the blogosphere, although I did see someone selling them in Glasgow yesterday at a craft fair.
The winner is comment 9, which was written by Ginny of My Time Stitching, who had liked my Facebook page. Ginny, please email me your postal address and I'll post the booklet and ribbons to you tomorrow hopefully.
As I'm participating in an advent swap, I need to find a way to label all the goodies with the date. The things I have put together vary dramatically in size, but I wanted consistency in how they are labelled. I thought date tags would work.
OK, I'm not a child, but I liked the look of the paint sponges. The paint is also designed for children, but I didn't want to use my more expensive fabric paint. The luggage tags are actually from The Works as they were the colour I wanted and the packs in Wilcos were white and in smaller packs.
The number five wouldn't stamp nicely and the four wasn't great either! They took ages to dry!
Having these labels will make it easier to take photos recording presents with the date they are to be opened on, so I can share them with you all on the appropriate date.
This was a really quick thing to do, but was quite fun too. I regressed to a little girl! Hopefully when it is all put together it won't look too childish.
21 years ago today (well at least that's what I told my students!) I entered this mad, mad world. Whilst I have eaten cake and been sung to, in many ways today has been a normal work day.
Tomorrow will be a slightly different Saturday as Mr M and I are getting up early for us on a Saturday and we're heading off to Bath. I haven't been to Bath in years (last time I was there I was involved in a car crash as I was about to leave), but it is very pretty and I want to explore it again. By the looks of it, somethings near the station have changed, but most of it will still be effectively the same. If you've never been, go! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
Anyway I logged onto wordpress to read some blogs to find a unique birthday present. Pillows-a-la-mode has started a new award, called the Good Neighbour Award (spelt my way, not hers – we are from opposite sides of the Atlantic!). The idea was for people to nominate bloggers who they'd like to have as their neighbour. Some kind soul (thank you!) nominated me, and so I (along with lots of other more worthy receipients) have another award. Yey!
Next time I'm on my laptop (i.e. not my phone as present) I'll add the logo to my blog. Thank you Pillows-a-la-mode for such a wonderful idea.


Alberta Conservation Association has provided over $20,000 grant funding for this year.
I too have to say a big thank to both Ken & Jim great job and lots of hard work. I also am looking forward to another year of fun and resource.

This is an antique English EPNS art deco design cruet set or condiment set consisting of a triangular fitted tray with egg shaped salt, pepper and mustard cruets with a matching salt spoon and original cobalt blue glass liner in the mustard pot.
The set is EPNS silver plate and was made in England 1910-1930s, hence the marvelous art deco egg styling.
The set overall measures 4 inches high to top of handle and 5 inches wide and each egg shaped piece is 2 inches in diameter.
The tray has art deco cut outs and shaped corners and is in near excellent used vintage condition. A beautiful example of one of my favorite design eras.

"Company1" :["C1_Dev1","C1_Dev2","C1_Dev3","C1_Dev4","C1_Dev5",],
"Company2" :["C2_Dev1","C2_Dev2","C2_Dev3","C2_Dev4","C2_Dev5",],
"Company3" :["C3_Dev1","C3_Dev2","C3_Dev3","C3_Dev4","C3_Dev5",],
 }

I have a Pandas data frame called df whose one of the columns looks like this:
    DESC_DETAIL
0   Probably task Company2 C2_Dev5
1   File system C3_Dev1
2   Weather subcutaneous Company2
3   Company1 Travesty C1_Dev3
4   Does not match anything
...........

My goal is to add two extra columns to this data frame and name the columns, COMPANY and DEVICE. The value in each row of the COMPANY column will be either be the company key in the dictionary if it exists in the DESC_DETAIL column or if the corresponding device exists in the DESC_DETAIL column. The value in the DEVICE column will simply be the device string in the DESC_DETAIL column. If no match is found, the corresponding row is empty. Hence the final output will look like this:
     DESC_DETAIL                        COMPANY         DEVICE
 0   Probably task Company2 C2_Dev5     Company2        C2_Dev5
 1   File system C3_Dev1                Company3        C3_Dev1
 2   Weather subcutaneous Company2      Company2        NaN
 3   Company1 Travesty C1_Dev3          Company1        C1_Dev3
 4   Does not match anything            NaN             NaN

My attempt:
for key, value in ref_dict.items():
    df['COMPANY'] = df.apply(lambda row: key if row['DESC_DETAIL'].isin(key) else Nan, axis=1)

This is obviously just wrong and does not work. How do I make it work ?

A: You can extract values with str.extract using a regex pattern:
import re

s = pd.Series(ref_dict).explode()

# extract company
df['COMPANY'] = df['DESC_DETAIL'].str.extract(
    f"({'|'.join(s.index.unique())})", flags=re.IGNORECASE)

# extract device
df['DEVICE'] = df['DESC_DETAIL'].str.extract(
    f"({'|'.join(s)})", flags=re.IGNORECASE)

# fill missing company values based on device
df['COMPANY'] = df['COMPANY'].fillna(
    df['DEVICE'].str.lower().map(dict(zip(s.str.lower(), s.index))))

df

Output:
                      DESC_DETAIL   COMPANY   DEVICE
0  Probably task Company2 C2_Dev5  Company2  C2_Dev5
1             File system C3_Dev1  Company3  C3_Dev1
2   Weather subcutaneous Company2  Company2      NaN
3       Company1 Travesty C1_Dev3  Company1  C1_Dev3
4         Does not match anything       NaN      NaN

A: You need a device to company dictionary as well and you can build it from the ref_dict easily as below:
dev_to_company_dict = {v:l[0] for l in zip(ref_dict.keys(), ref_dict.values()) for v in l[1]}

Then it is easy to do this:
df['COMPANY'] = df['DESC_DETAIL'].apply(lambda det : ''.join(set(re.split("\\s+", det)).intersection(ref_dict.keys())))
df['COMPANY'].replace('', np.nan, inplace=True)
df['DEVICE'] = df['DESC_DETAIL'].apply(lambda det : ''.join(set(re.split("\\s+", det)).intersection(dev_to_company_dict.keys())))
df['DEVICE'].replace('', np.nan, inplace=True)
df['COMPANY'] = df['COMPANY'].fillna(df['DEVICE'].map(dev_to_company_dict))

Output:
                       DESC_DETAIL   COMPANY     DEVICE
0   Probably task Company2 C2_Dev5  Company2    C2_Dev5
1   File system C3_Dev1             Company3    C3_Dev1
2   Weather subcutaneous Company2   Company2        NaN
3   Company1 Travesty C1_Dev3       Company1    C1_Dev3
4   Does not match anything              NaN        NaN

Is Apple pricing itself out of the smartphone market?
AppleMobiles
By Stephen Fenech	 On Feb 5, 2019
New research from Telsyte has shown Apple is losing market share to Android smartphones due to the high cost of the latest range of iPhones.
In Australia, at the end of 2018, there were are around 9.1 million active primary iPhone users compared to 11 million Android customers.
The Telsyte Australian Smartphone and Wearable Devices Market Study 2019 revealed the average selling price of smart phones went up by 13 per set between 2017 and 2018 and impacted consumer demand.
When Apple unveiled its new iPhone XS smartphone a few months ago, pricing ranging from $1,629 – $2,199 for the 5.8-inch model and $1,799 – $2,369 for the 6.5-inch XS Max.
In the second half of 2018, 4.6 million smart phones were sold which is down 3 per cent from the same period in 2017 thanks to customers holding onto their devices longer because of the higher cost of replacements.
The iPhone Xs and Xs Max
Telsyte also says the timing and availability of 5G handsets could also boost smartphone sales in 2019.
Surprisingly, one in three Australians (33 per cent) said 5G compatibility would be a factor for them when choosing a new device with one in four (24 per cent) holding off purchasing their new phone until 5G is actually available.
Telsyte forecasts about 9 million smartphones will be sold in 2019 – up just one per cent from 2018.
Only a few Android smartphone manufacturers will have a 5G model in 2019.
The top three Android vendors in 2018 were Samsung, Huawei and Oppo.
Mobile payments are a rapidly increasing use for smartphones with nearly half of all customers claiming to use it regularly (more than 75 per cent of the time).
Telsyte's research revealed one in eight (13 per cent) of Australians aged 16 to 34 (millennials) actually left their bank due to a lack of mobile payment support.
On the smartwatch side, Telsyte says an estimated 3.5 million devices were in use by the end of 2018.
More than 1.1 million smart wrist wearable devices (combined smartwatch and smart band sales) were sold in the second half of 2018 – up 30 per cent from the same period in 2017.
But smartwatches continue to lead the category and make up 65 per cent of all wrist wearable devices.
Apple held its top spot with the Apple Watch followed by Fitbit and Garmin.
The smart speaker market has also enjoyed a surge with 1.6 million or 16 per cent of all Australian households now using smart speakers including Google Home, Amazon Echo and Apple's HomePod.
Google is the runaway leader in the smart speaker market with 72 per cent market share.

Apple introduced a wide variety of new avenues for third party development under iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite that are all tied together by the common thread of App Extensions. Previous articles examined Photo Editing Extensions for Apple's new Cloud Kit-savvy Photos app, Today Extensions or widgets that appear in Notification Center, as well as system wide Custom Keyboards for mobile devices.
This article examines how the same underlying technology is being put to work to enable third parties to tap into the social integration features Apple first introduced for Twitter back in iOS 5, after a tumultuous and extended confrontation with Facebook and a silently cold war of sorts with Google.
By developing their own Sharing Extensions for iOS and OS X, third party social networks (such as deviantART or Pinterest), video and photo sharing sites (such as Instagram, Vine or Google's YouTube and Picassa), and other sharing or blogging services (such as StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg or Tumbler) can offer users their own tools for sharing media, links, documents or other content without waiting for Apple.
This is only possible now because of the social sharing groundwork Apple had to develop (dating back to 2009) to support such sharing, as well as the security work required to enable Apple's new App Extensions architecture without exposing the system to the performance, privacy and security issues common to previous "plug-in" designs (like the notorious Flash Player plugin for web browsers, which has long plagued Mac users' battery life, security and overall system performance).
This engineering work has taken over five years to finish, in part because of the rivalry, contention and competition existing between Apple and two of the principle social network and sharing services: Google and Facebook.
The San Francisco Bay Area plays host to a series of companies all jockeying for the attention, affections, time and money of the world's consumers. Even the best of these companies have serious weaknesses.
Apple launched the personal computer market 38 years ago, and has proven itself to be unmatched at developing and delivering desirable client hardware and software development platforms.
Apple's tight partnership with Google were ripped to shreds when Google launched Android in 2008 and announced Chrome OS in 2009. Google was founded in 1998 (the year Apple released the first iMac, and the year after the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh), and has distinguished itself as providing excellent search and highly profitable web advertising services.
Facebook and Twitter have each developed enthusiastic followings for their social networks, which have been around in some form since 2004 and 2006, respectively.
Conversely, Apple has painfully struggled at both search and social; Google has lost billions trying to build hardware and give away platforms; and Facebook's effort to deliver its own phone experience based on Android flopped so spectacularly that Twitter hasn't yet attempted to follow suit.
Each of these giants remains so uniquely good at their core competencies that they've often been forced to work together, or pay a high price for refusing to do so--as many of them actually have in their high stakes efforts to muscle into each other's territory or, alternatively, block others from muscling into theirs.
Apple's tight partnership with Google were ripped to shreds when Google launched Android in 2008 and announced Chrome OS in 2009, for example, and starting in 2010 Facebook similarly played social hardball with Apple to the detriment of both companies. In contrast, cooperation between Apple and Twitter has dramatically boosted Twitter's following on the world's most commercially desirable platforms while helping Apple to remain socially connected and make up for its own stumbles in various social networking experiments.
Around early 2009, Apple began talks with Facebook to integrate its social network into iTunes, enabling Apple to leverage Facebook's social graph to foster discussions and create friend circles that the media giant hoped would stoke social media discovery and, subsequently, media sales.
Facebook, which by that point was already well known for fiercely protecting access to its "social graph" data on millions of its users, demanded such "onerous terms" from Apple that the deal fell through shortly before the release of iTunes 10 in September 2010, leaving nothing but vestigial links to Facebook in the new release after the social network blocked users' ability to log into iTunes using their Facebook account.
Steve Jobs never detailed what Facebook's "onerous terms" involved, but given Apple's robust financials and Facebook's tight grip on its social content, it's likely that the social network wanted to grab both excessive control over private iTunes user data and overestimated the financial cut it could claim from any resulting iTunes sales.
Apple ended up releasing iTunes 10 with its own social networking of sorts, dubbed Ping, which Jobs described at its debut as "sort of like Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes," while adding that "Ping is not Facebook" and that "it is not Twitter," but rather "all about music."
Despite targeting iTunes' audience of 160 million active users in 23 countries and attracting the support of a series of popular artists (including Lady Gaga, who appeared during the announcement of iTunes 10 to promote Ping), the new social feature languished--largely because Apple failed to anticipate what users expected from a social network.
The open, unfiltered design of Ping immediately facilitated annoying spam laced with links to scams promising free iPhones and other dubious gifts for users who filled out surveys. The spam plague was a particular embarrassment to Apple, given the malware-free reputation it had promoted for its Macs. At the same time, Apple worked diligently to censor users' Ping profile photos and sanitize comments of anything that might offend, creating the worst possible combination of lax openness and tight regulation.
Apple's Ping looked like every other social network, offering a surface appearance that initially generated raves from many tech media pundits, the same way that cheap knockoff phones and tablets earn similar applause today.
However, Apple's lack of experience in social networking, lack of attention to detail in the design of Ping, and its lack any real long term interest in actually running a social network (apart from simply benefitting from one) resulted in Ping offering a disappointing experience that failed to attract and retain users.
Apple's lack of any real interest in running Ping itself (after Facebook pulled its support from iTunes) resulted in Ping essentially being left on ice until it was officially terminated two years later in September 2012.
Instead of working to develop Ping as a competitor to Facebook, Apple spent 2011 developing an architecture for iOS 5 to support third party social networks. The obvious front runners were Facebook and Twitter. In parallel with Ping, Apple also launched Game Center as a separate social network for supporting multiplayer games in iOS 4.1. While maligned by Apple's critics and competitors on a scale similar to Ping, Siri, Maps and iPhone 5c, Game Center has progressively grown in popularity, reaching 130 million monthly active users this summer due to its focus on delivering useful gaming functionality, rather than being a dead connection to Facebook as Ping ended up being.
Instead of working to develop Ping as a competitor to Facebook, Apple spent 2011 developing an architecture for iOS 5 to support third party social networks. The obvious front runners were Facebook and Twitter. However, Facebook's contention over Ping, followed by its high profile refusal to support a native iPad app, resulted in Apple releasing iOS 5 with basic sharing support limited to Twitter.
Despite Facebook's jumping to be one of the first iPhone apps (initially delivering a web app in 2007 before Apple had even opened up the iPhone App Store, and then quickly becoming the most popular native app on iOS), Facebook appeared to drag its heels in producing a native Facebook app for iPad.
Throughout 2011--the year after Apple debuted the first iPad--Facebook offered tacit support for third party Facebook apps bundled with the BlackBerry PlayBook and HP's acquired Palm webOS tablet. Likely influenced by the common perception at the time that one of these rivals (or perhaps Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets or Microsoft's Windows 8 Metro tablets) would overtake Apple's iPad or at least offer it some competition, Facebook focused on generic HTML5 development that it could easily port across a variety of different tablet platforms.
Additionally, despite the discovery of a complete (albeit HTML5-based) Facebook iPad app within the iPhone app as early as July 2011, Facebook held back the release of its tablet-optimized iPad app until October.
Shortly before that, Apple had launched iOS 5 with Twitter integration (depicted below) and without any system-integrated support for Facebook, indicating that Facebook was holding up its iPad app as leverage to force concessions from Apple, but lost its bluff.
Throughout 2012, Facebook stepped up its efforts to poach Apple engineers in an effort to both develop a native Cocoa Touch Facebook app for iOS, and at the same time to create a new iPhone competitor, working in concert with HTC to build a "Facebook phone."
In August 2012, Facebook finally delivered its first native Cocoa Touch iOS Facebook app for iPhone and iPad. Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg publicly admitted shortly afterward that, "the biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5 instead of native [platforms]."
Zuckerberg added, "We burnt two years."
Facebook's two "burnt" years began at its stonewalling of iTunes 10 at the release of Ping, and continued across the first two generations of iPad as the company bet against cooperating with Apple while hoping that BlackBerry, Palm, HP, Microsoft and Android licensees would do anything but fail as iPad competitors.
In June 2012, Apple revealed iOS 6 with a new Social framework that expanded iOS 5's support for Twitter to both Facebook and Chinese social network Sina Weibo, providing single sign on to facilitate easy content sharing, integration with Siri, Notification Center and user data sync with Calendar and Contacts, as well as the ability for users to "Like" iOS App Store titles via Facebook.
While Facebook integration made it into iOS 6, the company's contention with Apple appeared to delay similar integration features from being released at the launch of OS X Mountain Lion in July 2012. The new Sharing Service developed for OS X Mountain Lion presented a system wide Share Sheet interface for sharing content across a variety of social networks (in addition to Apple's ad hoc Mac-to-Mac AirDrop feature).
Apple included Share Sheet support in OS X Mountain Lion for Twitter and Sina Weibo as well as Vimeo, Flickr and China's YouTube-like video sharing sites Youku and Tudou (but not Google's YouTube or Picasa). Incidentally, Apple also brought its own Game Center to OS X in that release (although without any social sharing integration).
Apple delivered OS X Facebook integration (above) as an update to Mountain Lion later in 2012, with similar single sign on, Contacts and Share Sheet support.
Zuckerberg subsequently realized an even bigger bigger mistake than focusing HTML5: all the work the social network initiated to develop a custom Android "Home" experience (rapidly prototyped using Apple's Quartz Composer software), which was intended to focus phone use around Facebook.
Facebook's Home software was made available to a select group of common Android phones (above), and was the key selling point of the HTC First (below), the flagship Facebook phone.
That device flopped at launch after just one month of sales in April 2013, despite being discounted to only 99 cents on contract. Facebook Home also failed to gain significant traction among existing Android users.
By the end of 2013, it was publicly outed that iOS was leading mobile advertising revenue for Facebook, with Apple's platform generating 1,790 percent higher returns for the company than Android, due to the fact that the premium customers Apple was attracting with iPhones and iPads were a far more desirable demographic to advertisers.
That helps to explain why Facebook has now appeared to shift its focus toward online advertising and expanding into new categories, rather than doubling down on its bets against Apple.
Ping and Game Center weren't Apple's only attempts to develop social networks. iOS Photos, iPhoto and iCloud also got limited social features related to Photo Stream, a photo sharing concept Apple has been experimenting with from various angles for several years.
Apple's first modern stab at photo sharing came in iPhoto '06, via a feature called Photocasting. Similar to a audio podcast, it allowed users to share an album with friends via RSS. Sharing the RSS feed would allow others to view the shared album on the web, and 'follow' the feed via RSS to see new photos as they were added. Users could also set up a shared gallery in their iPhoto that would automatically follow and download photos from the shared feed via RSS.
RSS Photocasting was replaced by MobileMe Gallery, a more conventional web service that allowed users to upload photos and videos from iPhoto into a cloud-based web repository, where password protected access could be shared with friends via a web URL. iOS devices got the MobileMe Gallery app in 2010, which worked until MobileMe was replaced with iCloud, beginning in 2011.
For iCloud, Apple developed Photo Stream as a new feature for automatically sharing photos as they were taken on an iPhone, starting in 2011's iOS 4.3.
In late 2011, as Apple transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, Apple phased out its "Gallery" app and web sharing site and replaced it with iCloud's Photo Stream website.
In iOS 5, the Photos app added iCloud Sharing, a feature that turned the humble Photos app from a glorified camera roll into a tool that supported photo sharing. Once enabled, the app would automatically share the last 1,000 captured photos to a user's iCloud for a month, allowing the user to wirelessly archive them to a desktop machine via iCloud during that hosting window.
In iOS 6, Photos added the ability to remove unwanted photos from Photo Stream as well as the ability to share selected albums of photos as "Shared Photo Streams," which could be optionally shared with specific users or with the general public via an iCloud URL, similar to the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple's Photo Streams still lacked group sharing features however.
That was addressed in iOS 7, where users who share an album can enable other invited users ("subscribers") to add their own photos (and now videos) into the shared stream. Subscribers can also "like" or comment on shared photos (above), similar to Facebook. Photo Streams can also be optionally shared to iCloud's public website.
Aperture and iPhoto on the Mac can also both share albums to Photo Stream and view shared Photo Stream albums via iCloud. iPhoto presents social "likes" and comments and allows desktop users to participate in conversations linked to a Photo Stream's shared images and videos (above). Web viewers can't yet post comments or likes and don't see the comment stream (below).
While Mac users can add photos to their own Photo Stream (or to a shared Photo Stream that allows subscribers to post) via iPhoto, there's currently no support for sharing any selected image to iCloud system-wide as there is in iOS 7. The Share Sheets in OS X are currently limited sending photos to Email, Messages, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, and videos to Email, Messages, Vimeo and Facebook. iCloud didn't ever make the cut as a photo or video sharing target.
Apple's weak social "networking" features in iOS Photos and iCloud are partly atoned for by iCloud's superior sharing quality. While Facebook is far more sophisticated in terms of social photo and video sharing, the quality of the photos and videos shared is very limited. Apple's iCloud Photo Stream sharing offers far higher video quality, and also supports new iOS 7 features like Slomo video.
For iOS 8, Apple is enhancing Photo Stream's functionality under the new name "iCloud Photo Library," which will store every photo a user captures without any volume threshold or expiration date. However, just as with an email account, users will have to pay extra for cloud storage that exceeds the initial free iCloud allotment of 5GB.
Mac users are also promised a revamped Photos app to replace Aperture and iPhoto, harmonizing the features and interface of Apple's iOS and Mac photo apps. This will likely also advance Apple's social sharing and commenting features in iCloud, but the company hasn't yet detailed what it plans to change.
It appears that Apple is working to provide basic social sharing features while focusing on delivering high quality photo and video sharing in iCloud, rather than trying to duplicate the features of Twitter and Facebook. At the same time, Apple is also working to bolster its platform support for third party social networks, allowing essentially any web service to offer iOS and Mac users a direct connection to its social sharing features via the new Sharing Extensions.
Additionally, the previously considered Photo Editing Extensions serve to keep users in Photos, enabling them to apply third party photo filters and editing effects that they can then share via Photo Streams in iCloud, or via any of the built in Sharing Extensions or any new ones delivered by third parties.
In last year's release of OS X Mavericks, Apple added social integration with Linked In, along with a new type of integration: Shared Links in Safari 7.0. This feature pulls webpage URLs from social network feeds you follow and presents them in a social bookmark list (below).
Having developed generic support for social and sharing features that are relevant to a variety of online services, Apple is now opening up support for third parties to add Sharing support for their own services. That includes Google's YouTube and Picasa, which have been ignored by Apple in favor of similar services such as Vimeo and Flickr. It also opens things up for new services and small independent sites serving regional or special interest audiences.
In addition to allowing anyone to bundle custom Sharing Extensions into their Mac or iOS apps, Apple is also enabling Twitter, Facebook, Linked In and other sites to customize their Share Sheet presentation "to create a unique sharing experience," rather than using Apple's stock Sharing Sheet user interface.
As Apple explains in its Share Extension documentation, "the best Share extensions make it easy for users to share content with websites. If you want to create an extension that lets users perform a different task with their content or that gives users updates on information they care about, the Share extension point is not the right choice."
Under iOS, a custom Share Extension, once activated by the user, appears below AirDrop targets and above sharing services like Facebook and Twitter after users tap a Share button. In OS X, a similar presentation appears for Share buttons as well as each active Share service being exposed in Notification Center or when the user control clicks on content and selects Share.
On either platform, the system presents only Share Extensions appropriate to the type of the selected item, based on supported content types reported by each Extension. For example, in Apple's screen shot from the iOS 8 preview (below), selected photos present Share services that can handle pictures, including Messages, Mail, Pinterest (new in iOS 8), Flickr, Facebook and so on.
Once selected by the user, a Share Extension can present Apple's stock sharing UI or create a custom interface for composing a message, previewing the shared content, validating the content to be uploaded, and selecting optional features such as adding metadata tags, assigning an album to use or specifying a privacy setting for the shared item.
Apple hasn't yet opened every social integration feature to App Extensions. Social Shared Links in Safari are still limited to Twitter and LinkedIn, and Calendar and Content social integration is still hardwired to Apple's subset of supported social services (although third party accounts can of course still connect to Calendar and Contacts via open CalDAV and CardDAV protocols).
Apple also provides additional, more generic functionally via App Extensions that can be useful to both social networks and a variety of other applications, as the next segment will detail.


Speaker Magazine | Be a Productive Road Warrior. Travel tips from the trenches.
Professional speakers know that travel comes with the territory—it's a job hazard, so to speak. But not everyone has the natural ability to live out of a suitcase or do business from a laptop bag. With a little practice, you can make the most of your travel time. If you travel a lot, this primer will be a good reminder. If you're new to the game, this overview will provide valuable tips on how to be productive while traveling.
The late Art Berg, CSP, CPAE, who was a pioneer in using technology to help speakers simplify their lives, once counseled the audience during a convention breakout session to "Never waste your time on the plane. The more you get done while you're traveling, the more time you'll have available to be with your family when you return." I took his sage advice to heart and now plan on being able to knock out a bunch of work while I'm away from home.
I don't sleep, watch the movie, or mindlessly play computer games on the plane—I work. I read client materials, write thank-you notes and articles, complete paperwork, create PowerPoint® presentations, review large reports and board materials, or spend time planning. Take your office into the air and hotel and use the uninterrupted time to work.
How many times have you stayed up too late with last-minute packing, and then spent the entire trip exhausted and frustrated from having forgotten something? Instead of packing the day before (especially for longer conferences like NSA's annual convention), start thinking about your trip several days in advance.
Ziploc bag packed with duplicate items of everything in leak-proof containers, so you only have to pack outfits.
Rebecca Morgan, CSP, CMC, photographs her assembled outfits—shoes, jewelry, purse, etc.—so she can quickly pull together what she needs at the hotel. She packs the clothing items in outfit groupings (skirt, blouse, jacket), and then puts a dry cleaning bag over that outfit with a tag identifying the day to wear it.
As long as you don't see the same people over and over again, you don't have to wear something different each trip. Keep favorite outfits in one location together, so you don't have to search. I have a rotating set of six outfits—including jewelry and accessories— that I wear for traveling and speeches. I generally wear St. John knits on the platform, because they look great, pack easily, don't wrinkle, require no ironing, and are as comfortable as pajamas. When I'm flying, I wear the Travelers line by Chicos. Again, no ironing, no wrinkling, and machine wash/dry. Guys, keep your ties, belts, shoes, etc., together in your closet, and wrap your dry-cleaned shirts in the plastic bags they come in, which will help with wrinkling.
Always bring a clean copy of any important documents or a thumb drive in case your laptop crashes. Bring an empty water bottle to fill when you get past security. Take your trusty GPS to avoid stress when driving in unfamiliar places (built in app on most Smartphones).
One of my speaker buddies works right up until the last minute he can possibly leave and still expect to catch his flight… IF…there's no traffic, he doesn't need to check bags, he can find a parking spot, there's no line at the security counter, etc. It's no wonder he's always the one desperately running down the terminal, bursting on to the plane, pouring sweat, and sometimes watching as his plane pulls away without him. Sure, the airlines tell you to arrive 60 minutes ahead of flight time if you don't have baggage to check, but give yourself more cushion than that. Check in before leaving and print your boarding pass (or send it to your phone). By giving yourself plenty of time, you won't be stressed even when there is a long line at security.
Carry on your luggage if at all possible. I can carry on for several days but have to surrender and check for a weeklong conference. But always carry your essential business information. Stuff happens. Bags disappear—usually not permanently—but for long enough to make you wish you had them. While there's not a whole lot you can do if this happens, you can at least be confident your computer and other work essentials are close at hand. Don't be tempted to tuck a stack of folders in with your suitcase. If there's a baggage mishap, you can probably handle business in yesterday's clothes, but not without your materials. My mentor, Dianna Booher, CSP, CPAE, told me to always wear business attire when checking a bag, so that I could speak in those clothes, if necessary.
You'll usually have a pretty good idea of how much downtime you'll have during your trip, so set some goals for your travel time before you leave. How long is the flight each way? How long will you be alone in your hotel room in the evening? Know what you want to accomplish during various parts of your trip. When you sit down in your airplane seat, you should know exactly what to do next. Maybe there's a report you want to read or a proposal you want to write. Be ready to dive right in. Until I can turn on my computer, I generally do light reading or review audience evaluations and then I get to work.
You don't need to become a full-fledged Crackberry addict to enjoy the benefits of a Smartphone of some kind. It just isn't an option anymore. I use a Droid, others love their iPhones, and still others use Blackberry. While it shouldn't hijack your life, it's an invaluable tool while you're riding in a taxi, sitting at the gate, or taking a quick break at your program. Use your downtime to keep up with email and keep up with the office; it's comforting to know it isn't piling up while you're away.
However, I've discovered your phone can still leave you hanging when you least expect it. Unable to get reception from my hotel room or an Internet connection (to use Skype), I've had to resort to using the hotel land line, which can be absurdly expensive. So grab a $10 prepaid phone card or calling card service to make needed calls from your room without racking up phone charges or wandering around the parking lot searching for a signal.
What's tiny, inexpensive and just might save your speech? Answer: A thumb drive. It's an emergency backup for files essential to your trip. If your laptop is stolen, your battery is fried, or you come face-to-face with the infamous Blue Screen of Death, you'll have a backup of the presentation you came so far to deliver. I had a computer refuse to start up once, but was able to load my presentation to the client's laptop and carry on. Or use skydrive.com to upload to the cloud. Also make sure to set up remote access to your office files and programs on your computer with logmein.com or gotomypc.com, just in case. If can get to the Internet, you can operate your computer as if it were right in front of you.
Do you transfer files between your desktop and laptop computers when you hit the road? This was one of my biggest frustrations, until I stopped using a desktop altogether. Unless your work requires some serious computer resources, use your laptop as your CPU with a docking station (Dell has some nice options). You'll still keep your nice big monitor and full-size keyboard in the office. When it's time to fly, you simply pop your laptop out of the dock, slip it into your briefcase, and have all your same files in one place. It's the best of both worlds. Ruby Newell-Legner, CSP, doesn't dock, but swears by dropbox.com to keep her files synced between desktop and laptop.
Outlook is the same on my Droid, my laptop, and any computer in our office.
My staff can check my calendar and email remotely and add appointments and tasks. With Exchange, you'll only have to process email once (instead of reading it on webmail and then pulling it into Outlook when you return to your desktop).
You don't have to pay the outrageous wireless charges in the hotel room.! You can get Internet access from anywhere by using your phone as a hot spot or getting an air card through your wireless network. If you pay for connection charges a few times a month in a hotel, the convenience is worth the extra monthly cost (if applicable).
Conference materials, client notes, receipts and articles can all end up mangled, mixed up or lost if you don't keep everything together and organized until you get back from your trip. Print a separate envelope for receipts for each gig, so they don't get mixed up. For multi-day conferences, like NSA, use a seven-pocket folder to keep documents separated by day.
Try not to load up your schedule the morning you return to the office. You need time to unpack, reorganize and process all information through your system and get it into the right place. Refill toiletries so they are ready for the next trip. Immediately reorganize your briefcase and office. Write reports, complete documentation and generate invoices while the information is fresh in your mind. Otherwise, if you have multiple trips, you'll get confused about what goes with what. As soon as you return from an engagement, immediately enter all business cards into your CRM and schedule follow up. By giving yourself some space and not scheduling too much upon your return, you'll feel more confident during your travels.
I don't drive to/from the airport. Some speakers think it's a bit lavish, but I create more value working for two hours than I pay the driver. I use inclusive travel, so my clients don't need to concern themselves. Plus, I avoid the stress of finding a parking spot, walking to the terminal, and paying for parking. Stick with one preferred airline to gain the highest status possible. Pay for airline club access for the best travel experience. The CLEAR card went bankrupt, but its assets were purchased, and it's back in business at some airports, including Denver and Orlando at this point (good for people who live or fly to those locations frequently). For rental cars, upgrade to gold aisle or the equivalent to avoid waiting in lines.
There are many small ways to make life easier for yourself when you're traveling by laying the groundwork before you leave, spending your travel time effectively, and getting organized when you return. You can become a productive road warrior when you're away from the office and enjoy time with your loved ones when you return home.

And yes, today feels extremely bittersweet. I find myself walking in the halls and thinking of so many people I have yet to thank and so many I have yet to see before leaving Singapore. I feel like I'm running out of time. I keep deleting everything I'm writing because this just sounds so cheesy. And I really don't want that. But as I write this I can't help but get all sappy about the time I've spent here in Singapore. But more specifically, a member of the Eye staff.
During my freshmen year, I didn't really know who I was. And I think everyone can agree in saying that as ninth graders, they signed up for an excessive amount of clubs and activities that in retrospect, didn't really reflect their passions.
When my brother was in high school, his passion was clear and center: Music. He flourished in the school's orchestra as a bassist and everyone knew him as that 'tall guy with a bass.' And now as I write this, he is in Madrid touring with his college's orchestra. I admired him for his drive and confidence about this passion and, as a freshman looking up to him, wanted to find my own.
But I only knew two things about myself: I liked to draw and play basketball. Within a cluster of service clubs I knew nothing about, these were the two areas of interest that I explored. I joined Ms. Harvey's Studio Art class my sophomore year and played on the JV basketball team as a ninth and tenth grader. But I still felt as though something was missing. In the back of my mind, I had always wanted to join the journalism class – specifically the broadcast section. In middle school, I had a small hobby of filming for the video production class and enjoyed reporting. But when class sign ups and counselor sessions started, I had people giving me advice that I shouldn't sign up. I don't know why I listened to them.
Finally, in my junior year, I addressed that little voice in the back of my head and joined the journalism class. I was ready. I remember pitching my first idea eagerly: to uncover the Southeast Asian tradition known as The Hungry Ghost Festival. My classmates giggled, but I was already too busy trying to figure out who my primary sources would be.
After conducting my first interview with a security guard, I realized I had completely forgotten to ask for his name. Frantically, I zoomed in on the photo I had taken of him, making out a shiny name tag that presented his last name. I then called a number of guards, hearing them pick up the phone, confused as to why this excited teenage girl was asking, "Do you know anyone with the last name Abdullah?" Finally, I found someone who knew Abdullah's first name. Thankfully, my article got published.
And as cliché as it sounds, the rest was history. I met people that also loved to write and film videos about SAS and the world around them. I found myself in discussions about politics and issues that as a ninth grader, I couldn't even picture myself reading, let alone taking interest in. Above all, I began to actually enjoy going to a class, no matter what kind of day I had.
I look back at that with one clear idea: intuition. I wish that I had followed my intuition freshmen year, and listened to that little voice in the back of my head that was begging me to join journalism. I would have been able to experience all these things that The Eye gave me earlier: new friends, a community to always go to, and a passion. Every breakfast party, IASAS report, mood for food and written article made my last two years at SAS worthwhile, and from seeing the community grow tighter, I know it can't only be me that feels it in the class.

Moist and chewy bars studded with creamy white chocolate chips. Here is an easy dessert recipe for White Chocolate Blondies.
Using a double boiler over barely simmering water, melt white chocolate and butter. Stir occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy using an electric mixer. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and vanilla. Drizzle in the melted white chocolate mixture.
Combine the flour and salt; fold into the white chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Fold in while chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes in preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
