MARKET RESEARCH Companies with superior information about their environment enjoy a competitive advantage.
To reach revenue and share objectives, it is critical to understand customer preferences, competitive strengths and weaknesses, and the factors supporting a realistic sales forecast.
• A clinical research staffing company needed to measure financial demand for its services by market segment. They also wanted to know their current level of awareness, how to improve brand awareness, and how to exploit competitors' weaknesses. A comprehensive study of pharmas, CROs, and biotechs answered these and other questions.
• A client that sells web-based training software to hospitals was not sure which of its offerings would have the highest demand. The company needed to build a realistic demand forecast by product line. A quantitative research study of the hospital market projected how much would spent by product line. The sales force was given a realistic, achievable quota by product and by territory, and the client set a new revenue record.

NU drops two of three games to Monmouth
April 24, 2017 by Adam Penale, posted in Sports
Hawks upset Niagara in New Jersey
The Niagara University Purple Eagles baseball team lost two of three games to the Monmouth Hawks on April 22 and 23. Playing at West Long Branch, N.J., Niagara fell in Saturday's lone contest 8-6, before splitting two games on Sunday, including being walked-off in the later game in 11 innings.
In game one, Monmouth scored twice in both the bottom of the first and bottom of the second innings against Niagara starter Nate Mascellino. Leftfielder Dan Shea tripled in the first frame, with he and Grant Lamberton both scoring on an error by shortstop Greg Cullen. Pete Papcun drove in two runs in the second to make it 4-0 Monmouth. In the bottom of the third, Tom Jakubowski scored on a fielding error by second baseman Geoff Seto, the second of four Niagara errors on the day.
Niagara scored twice in the top of the fifth, forcing starter Jordan McCrum from the game. Tanner Kirwer and Cullen each picked up RBI in the inning. McCrum ended his outing with 4.2 innings pitched and ten strikeouts, but he allowed six walks in a no-decision.
A four-run top of the sixth for Niagara's lineup made it a 6-6 contest. The inning included RBI from Kirwer and Peter Battaglia, with two errors coming from the Hawks' defense. Monmouth took a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the sixth, as Danny Long crossed the plate on a throwing error by Cullen. They added another run in the bottom of the eighth, with Shaine Hughes flying out to centerfield and scoring Long with a sacrifice fly.
Ben Hoffman pitched 3.1 innings out of the Monmouth bullpen to earn his third win of 2017, striking out five. Mascellino was tagged with his fourth loss, allowing seven runs and four earned in 5.0 innings.
Niagara then defeated the Hawks in the first game on Sunday, 6-4. Daniel Procopio pitched 5.o innings and struck out seven to improve to 5-2 on the mound, while Peter Battaglia drove in a pair of runs, with additional RBI coming from Darian Blanks and Trevor McCauley.
Monmouth jumped to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, as Tom Jakubowski stole home and scored on a fielding error by Cullen at shortstop. In the top of the third, Peter Battaglia walked with the bases loaded to force in Darian Blanks, and Trevor McCauley plated Tanner Kirwer with a sac-fly to make it 2-1 Niagara.
Monmouth tied the game in the bottom of the inning, before Niagara added four runs of offense in the fourth. Wyatt Olson scored on a wild pitch, Blanks drove in Michael Gabriele with a double, and Blanks scored on error. A two-run homer by Jakubowski in the bottom of the fifth was not enough for Monmouth to battle back, as Alex MacKinnon earned his first save of the year by earning the last two outs of the seven inning game.
The final game on Sunday did not go as well for Niagara, as the club was walked off in extra innings, literally. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th, Dan Shea earned a walk to score Aidan Favia, as Monmouth won 6-5.
Monmouth's Pete Papcun homered in both the first and third innings against Niagara starter Matthew Brash. This was one of the few blemishes on Brash's line, as he pitched 8.0 innings and allowed three runs, striking out eight. Michael Gabriele, Cullen and Battaglia all drove in runs in the fifth for NU, as the score was tied up at 3 until the ninth inning. Battaglia drove a single to left, scoring Kirwer and Blanks, to give Niagara a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth.
Niagara's lead would not last long, as Matt McCuen emerged from the bullpen and blew the club's lead in the bottom of the ninth. A hit by Aidan Favia resulted in another error by Greg Cullen, his fourth error of the series. Two runs scored on the play, as the score became tied at 5. This lasted until the walk-off walk in the bottom of the 11th.
The Purple Eagles next will play on April 26 at Sal Maglie Stadium in Niagara Falls, N.Y. They will face Canisius College, with first pitch scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

Through Campfire, CABIN regularly facilitates broad educational opportunities to reach a wider audience by using more traditional training and educational approaches. This includes an expert webinar series of common questions or topics of brownfield redevelopment as well as an annual Central Appalachian Regional Brownfield Summit.
1. Expert Webinars- These webinars help to supplement the in-person training opportunities provided by state and federal agencies, as well as other service providers, by addressing more specific topics and questions in a more timely fashion. Webinars also build the technological capacity of small organizations, allowing them to connect with CABIN and the rest of the region without the added cost of travel. Webinars also provide a way for communities to expand their networks and identify experts for potential peer-to-peer exchange opportunities. After interacting with speakers through the regular webinars, communities will be more familiar with the types of expertise that exist in the Central Appalachian Region and will be able to connect with those experts either directly or through the Redevelopment Expert Exchange.
2. The Central Appalachian Regional Brownfield Summit educates stakeholders from across the region on complex redevelopment issues; provides the opportunity for communities to network with peers, agency representatives, development professionals, and environmental experts in person; and highlights success stories from across the region.

Includes screenplay and stage play. Cast of 3 women.
A thoughtful and provocative 30-year record of Nichol's approaches to textual production.
The life of Elizabeth Smart pivoted on a turbulent affair that produced four children and her one book. This is a portrayal of the book as a record of one great life lived. Cast of 4 women and 1 man.
As in Ibsen's Enemy of the People, two brothers struggle for power and ideals each believes are right. Messenger takes place in another country, Canada, and in another century but tackles similar themes. A timely play in terms of environmental issues, full of lots of great political dirty tricks.
In this probing character study, Rideout fashions a hypothetical 1969 meeting in a bar in St. Petersburg, Florida, between Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay and an individual whom he believes to be a truly great writer – beat generation author Jack Kerouac, whose Francophone mother affectionately called him Ti-Jean.
A riveting adaptation of a theatre classic about an affair between the daughter of a count and the count's man-servant. Cast of 2 women and 1 man.

Modern Canadian Plays is the core text for university-level Canadian drama courses around the world.

Canada's top playwright takes on teen pregnancy in two comic dramas for young people.
From the renowned author of Balconville, this powerful drama gives a voice to the disillusioned working-class women employed at the British Munitions Factory in Verdun, Quebec, during the First World War. Following in the trudging footsteps of Fennario's anti-war protest play Bolsheviki (Talonbooks, 2012), Motherhouse similarly debunks the sentimental notions of duty, heroism, and nationhood that figured so prominently in Canadian war effort campaigns and that persist in Canadian history textbooks today.
Olson once defined "Muthologos" as "what is said about what is said," which encompasses a breadth of discourse that would define the near and far range of where the poet's mind went in a lifetime's intent to go places. In this new compilation of Charles Olson's transcribed lectures and interviews, we finally get all of what is preserved of a life of talk, allowing Muthologos to stand, along with The Maximus Poems, Collected Poems, Collected Prose and Selected Letters as one of the "standard texts" of this great poet's oeuvre.
My TWP Plays presents five important plays written by Jack Winter while he was resident playwright at Toronto Workshop Productions, one of the first great troupes of the experimental and alternative theatre movement. The carnivalesque style of the selected works in this anthology reflects the turbulence, contradictions, and subversion of the social revolution during which they were written and first produced, as well as the cultural politics at a time when Canadian artists were investigating new, noncolonial, and distinctly Canadian forms of expression that would define the nation and challenge received artistic styles and practices.

The Red Elephant Foundation is a youth-led civilian peacebuilding initiative that works for gender equality and peace through storytelling, art advocacy, tech-for-good and digital media engagement. The initiative was founded by Kirthi Jayakumar in Chennai, India, on June 5, 2013. On June 4, 2017, The Red Elephant Foundation was recommended by Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, for Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council.

Activities
The Red Elephant Foundation's activities are chunked down into five key blocks:

Storytelling
In the long term, the initiative aims at shifting mindsets and pivot people naturally towards equality, peace and non-violence. The storytelling wing curates stories of survivors, change-makers and peace-workers around the world so that these stories inspire action, empathy and awareness of the world. The foundation has told stories of several activists, changemakers and survivors, including Maya Azucena, Zak Ebrahim, Kamla Bhasin, Tabish Khair and Vaishnavi Sundar among others.

ChalkPeace
The foundation makes its stories actionable by building curriculums to address issues of gender inequality, violence in communication and action, and to address the need for sensitization around gender based violence. These curriculums are tailor-made to suit each demographic's needs, and are then used to conduct training sessions at schools, colleges, community groups and work places. The foundation's education programs are curated on their platform, called ChalkPeace. The ChalkPeace Program has re-created versions of board games to teach values of Gender Equality and Peace, such as: Snakes and Ladders, Guess Who, Pictionary, Taboo and Memory.

Tech For Good
While the goals of storytelling and education/sensitization are couched in the long-term, the initiative focuses on the imminent need for assistance, sensitized help and qualitative support for survivors of violence. This encouraged the birth of an online tech-based tool that maps organizations providing legal, medical, resource, education/employment help and police, ambulance and consular services across 196 countries in the world, called the GBV Help Map. They also curate stories of online abuse through the Troll Register and school and college level bullying through Report a Bully. The Youth Solutions Report by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network features The Red Elephant Foundation's #GBVHelpMap as one of the top 50 solutions / ideas in the world to achieve #SDG5 on #GenderEquality, and has also specifically been curated as a Case Study on "The Era of Digital Accountability." The organization created Saahas, a mobile app version of the GBV Help Map. The app was coded by Kirthi Jayakumar.

The Building Peace Project
The Building Peace Project is an, intensive online program spread over eight weeks. Participants from all over the world will be engaged in sessions facilitated by trained facilitators using a curriculum grounded in values of peace education, dialogue, writing and some dynamic thinking. Although based on a curriculum, the sessions give participants room, autonomy and encouragement to explore their spontaneity creatively.

Digital Advocacy
The initiative runs digital media campaigns that serve a two-pronged strategy: online stakeholding and awareness, and offline dialogue building and exchange.  Some campaigns include: More than my Body and Break a Gender Stereotype. We also participate in the 16 Days of Activism against VAW and He For She. The Break a Gender Stereotype Campaign was awarded by Femvertising in 2016 with the People's Choice Award. The initiative has also collaborated with and supported other organizations on their campaigns, including one to fight the normalization of stalking in Indian cinema. They also supported the United Nations in its MyWorld Campaign through the collection of votes using online advocacy. The initiative partnered with the US Consulate at Chennai for its Pride Month event in 2016. They also supported the Her Story Wikipedia Editathon campaign in August 2016. The team also represented as part of the Civil Society Committee Members in choosing questions from the civil society to ask candidates standing for the office of the UN Secretary General.

In addition, the initiative has also successfully undertaken research to inform its work. Offline, the foundation has supported disaster response through aid dispensation and support for different communities during the Nepal earthquake, the Manipur earthquake, and the floods in Chennai.

Awards
The Red Elephant Foundation won the Femvertising in 2016 with the People's Choice Award for its campaign called Breaking Gender Stereotypes. They were also finalists in the Social Media for Empowerment Awards 2017, in the Women's Empowerment category. They were finalists in the Early Stage Innovation Category for the mBillionth Awards 2017 for their mobile app, Saahas. The Red Elephant Foundation was awarded the Outstanding NGO Award by FICCI FLO at Chennai in February 2018. They also won the UN Online Volunteering Award, 2017.

The list of awards are as follows:

 People's Choice Award, 2016 (Femvertising)

Marlon E. Fuentes' Bontoc Eulogy is a haunting, personal exploration into the filmmaker's complex relationship with his Filipino heritage as explored through the almost unbelievable story of the 1,100 Filipino tribal natives brought to the U.S. to be a "living exhibit" at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. For those who associate the famous fair with Judy Garland, clanging trolleys, and creampuff victoriana, Bontoc Eulogy offers a disturbing look at the cultural arrogance that went hand-in-hand with the Fair's glorification of progress. The Fair was the site of the world's largest ever "ethnological display rack," in which hundreds of so-called primitive and savage men and women from all over the globe were exhibited in contrast to the achievements of Western civilization.
The Manila-born Fuentes explores his complex relationship with his Filipino ancestry by researching the path of Markod, a Bontoc Igorot warrior brought to St. Louis in 1904, never to return home. Using historical data from the Library of Congress and the National Archives, 90-year-old archival footage, and seamless recreations, Fuentes weaves the story of the missing Markod with his own musings on the fate of his ancestral "grandfather" and the whereabouts of his final remains.
Fuentes, who serves as the film's on-screen narrator, quotes a well-known Philippine saying: "He who does not look back from whence he came from will never ever reach his destination." With Bontoc Eulogy, Fuentes has created an insightful and poignant examination of history, family, memory, and cultural loss, and a film that speaks to the entire immigrant experience.

Got a question and not sure if this has been brought up/mentioned before in the forum.
I'm looking to add in Height Channel speakers to my 5.1 system to get Atmos sound out of my audio. I cannot install in ceiling speakers as it would just be too big a task to take on and installing wall mounted speakers for Front Height would make more sense in my setup. I've been looking at a few options and I'm just not a fan of the whole Atmos enabled speakers with ceiling bounce... easiest of the options, but I just don't think it will work. I want to know if Surround Speakers would work well to disperse sound in a wide angle direction instead of just forward direction would work well since surrounds are bi-polar speakers.... Or use bookshelf speaker would do. My only concern with bookshelf speakers have a venting port in the back, if it would cause vibrations/distortions when playing any tracks/movies. Surround speakers don't have a rear venting port and therefore wouldn't have the same issue that bookshelf speakers have for possible vibration of air being pushed out the rear. Looking for some guidance in this area. Also, if someone can give recommendations on best speakers of use for front height use.
Much appreciated to any input here. Just looking for that Atmos experience.
I don't do Atmos but do have bookshelf speakers (RB-75's) mounted for height channels. I like the effect with a lot of movie sound tracks.
Pinpoint mounts work very well for this application. Either the Am-40 or AM-41 would be the ones to use.
Subscribed... I am also looking at installing speakers (JBL ones in my signature) on the wall up high for Atmos channels.
@TasDom, I've been looking for the RB-61 I/II's and they're hard to find. I'm having to see if 2nd hand sites like Kijiji has anyone selling them. The newer stuff has the rear venting port and don't want my walls vibrating when I mount them, which is why I like your suggestion of the SB-61's.
What's the effect/difference of having/not having height channels in a setup?
I've been looking for the RB-61 I/II's and they're hard to find.

China and the U.S. Agree to a "Low-Hanging Fruit" Phase One Trade Deal as the Tariff Bandwagon Loses Steam
By Rohail Saleem
According to multiple reports, the U.S. and China have agreed to a phase one trade accord that ensures concessions from both sides and offers global equity markets a critical boon before the crucial holiday session.
As per the details revealed, the U.S has provided following concessions to China regarding the tariff slabs detailed in the section 301 of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) website:
China's Parting Shot at Trump is Sanctions on Former Officials
Suspension of List 4B tariffs that were due to take effect this Sunday on $160 billion of consumer goods imports from China
Reduction of List 4A tariffs to 7.5 percent from the original 15 percent imposed on $120 billion of Chinese products on 1st of September
Preservation of tariffs included in lists 1 - 3 that cumulatively entail 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese imports
China, for its part, has also suspended its reciprocal tariffs that were due to take effect this Sunday and which targeted a wide variety of American goods such as corn, wheat, U.S. automobiles as well as auto parts. Crucially, China will maintain all tariffs currently imposed on U.S. products.
In another concession detailed by the top U.S. trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer, China has provided commitments to purchase, over the next two years, $200 billion of additional U.S. products pertaining to the agriculture, manufacturing and energy sectors. China's 2017 imports from the U.S. constitute a base line for this commitment. Lighthizer further elaborated that Chinese imports of U.S. agricultural products is expected to reach an annual pace of $40 billion to $50 billion within the next two years.
As a refresher, the United States exported around $24 billion in farm products to China in 2017 with $12 billion in Soybean cargoes constituting the largest agricultural export segment at the time. Following the eruption of a full-blown trade war in 2018, China drastically curbed its imports of Soybeans and other agricultural products from the U.S. and instead turned to Brazil for much of those products. Bear in mind that China imports Soybeans primarily to feed its large pig population. Since that time, however, China's population of pigs has experienced a material reduction due to a widespread African Swine Fever infection that affected much of the country's local hog population. Given this culling of the local pig population along with displacement of the U.S. by Brazil as the primary exporter of Soybeans, many experts remain skeptical that China will be able or willing to return to 2017 import levels.
The lack of details related to key commitments in this accord constitutes another challenge when it comes to its enforcement. As an illustration, the deal includes assurances from China to eliminate forced intellectual property transfers, uneven market access for foreign companies and a pledge to refrain from competitive devaluation of its currency. However, a detailed implementation plan and the thresholds for gauging adherence to these commitments have not been provided.
"[The deal] is a phased achievement, and does not mean that the trade dispute is settled once and for all," said a Reuters source in Beijing while commenting on the situation.
Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), Tencent (HKG:0700) Dodge US Investor Ban — For Now
This agreement still needs to be inked. Speaking to reporters on Friday, the U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said that the U.S. and China aim to sign the agreement in January in Washington.
Trump added on Friday that the U.S. would begin negotiations on the next phase of the trade deal "immediately, rather than waiting until after the 2020 Election."
Since 2018, the U.S. and China have each imposed multiple layers of tariffs that affect bilateral trade worth billions of dollars, battering financial markets and roiling the global business and consumer sentiments in the process. Now that a thaw in this simmering conflict is on the horizon, markets have reacted positively. Last week, the Nasdaq posted weekly gains of 0.9 percent followed by gains by S&P 500 of 0.7 percent. The Dow was up by a more modest 0.4 percent on the week.
SMIC's Advanced Chip Production Likely Kneecapped By U.S. Sanctions


This case was presented to the Vermont Supreme Court after a lengthy bench trial between appellants/cross-appellees Kneebinding, Inc. (Kneebinding) and Kneebinding company directors John and Tina Springer-Miller (the Springer-Millers), and appellee/cross-appellant Richard Howell that resulted in a series of interlocutory decisions before final judgment. Kneebinding and the Springer-Millers appealed the trial court's decisions regarding: (1) a stipulated fine for Howell's alleged violations of an injunction prohibiting him from speaking in certain settings about Kneebinding or the Springer-Millers; (2) termination of the injunction; (3) other contempt sanctions for Howell's alleged violations of the injunction; (4) defamation damages; (5) Kneebinding's claim of tortious interference with contract; and (6) attorney's fees. With respect to their appeal, the Supreme Court affirmed in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings. Howell appealed the trial court's denial of his third-party shareholder derivative and direct claims against the Springer-Millers for fraud in the inducement and various alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment on these claims.


Todays Visa problem prompted me to remember the times when on a lonely trail and getting to a pub or similar and I forgot to get cash earlier in the day. I can imagiene it would be just my luck to try to use my card for a well earned beer only to find it had all crashed. I usually remember to hide a £20 on me, for one of those 'just in case' situations, but I've often forgotten to do this as well.
Is it me, or is the frequency of these kind of crashes getting worse and the numbers of people affected getting more and more? I can understand how it could be so easy to lose faith in the system. Its a warning of perhaps more and bigger problems to come?
Had a weird experience today when buying a new pair of Backcountry shorts (that's the walking connection, folks!) on Royal Robbins' UK website.
My Visa card needed verification by Nationwide, who immediately texted me a code to enter on the page, but after I had done this a message said my transaction was unsuccessful and try another method of payment.
Back-clicking to the payents page I now selected PayPal, and with exactly the same card my payment was successful this time.
UPDATE: Just seen a news item about the "Visa problem" GWM mentioned. It all makes sense now.
Without a lesson on the payment industry and using it's proper terms (it's not as simple as it looks, but what is?).
It is unusual for a major payment processor such as Visa to go down (especially in the way it did), it isn't that unusual though for individual merchants (Barclaycard, Lloyds etc) to have problems locally or nationally.
After a friends bank / merchant had a local issue and they struggled to pay for things I made sure had cards from both a Mastercard issuer and a Visa issuer and both from different organisations. Doesn't mean I'll never have problems but it reduces them at least.
During this outage my local pubs all went cash only except Wetherspoons. My local Wetherspoons process their payments via Mastercard though and lots of the transactrions would be under the floor limit as well.
Paypal are actually at a similar level of credit processor as Visa so I'm not too surprised they were ok.
R4 made a programme about our banking system about 3 years ago and they were warning about this kind of problem then. The charge is that our banking system is based one Windows '1', the oldest and simplest programme of all and that the banks are too mean to upgrade it. There was a crash like this then (can't remember who it happened to?) and the banks had to look all over the globe for someone who undertood how it all worked. The BBC programme claimed that in the end the banks managed to find a retired engineer living in Cyprus and he was flown back to repair the fault. I've tried to find the programme again but have had no luck so far.
I've heard journalist also mention this problem in the last few days. I wonder when we might find out whats causing all these problems Windows '1' perhaps?
I've narrowed it down to the RBS failure of 2012, they said it could never happen again. Guess what, it has and more than once!
It turns out the visa problem was stated as being hardware related.
I had experience of a "hardware" problem at work many years ago. the physical system was very old and interdependent. The hard Disks were literally a bank of discs spinning in a vacuum. However the power supply went on one of the ancient disk drives and hey presto everything went down, recovery was slow as they had stopped making that power supply years earlier. The electronics engineer on site physically patched one up from several others psus. Data back up was really difficult as the disk drive was physically damaged in the shutdown and also had to be bodged. eventually someone remembered some even older technology and got some ancient paper tapes out to run through a reader a reboot the disc drive, The backup disc was inserted and got everything barring the last couple of hours work. Only took 20 hours of none stop panic.Years later the same basic machine was still doing the job but the discs/memory had been upgraded and modernised, the programming of the IBM mainframe machine was from the stone ages.
Funnily enough we finished a walk at a pub yesterday and stopped for something to eat and drink (TBH most of my walks end up that way, it's planned). Anyhow my Visa Card would not work so I went to plan B - pay by MasterCard. That failed too so went to plan C, used beer chits. They always work.
Most of my purchases are with cash these days, so I'm not bothered. Even on a long walk I take cash.
Radio really shouldn't do technology. The BBC shouldn't expecially as they dumb it down far too much - whenever Rory Cellan-Jones starts on about something I inwardly wince as he over simplifies too much.
Visa said it was a hardware failure. GIven the effect (machines not even allowing payments to start in some cases) I'd expect a rather big chunk of networking equipment or a transaction gateway failing.
Uk Banking (Visa aren't a bank as such) was based (often still is) on IBM Mainframe technology. Microsoft weren't around when the UK banking system became computerised at the back end. Mainframes are still present in modern UK Banks, these are slowly being replaced but these systems work and have done for years (RBS sacking their IT staff aside). It's also hugely expensive and very risky to do so, mainframes aren't going anywhere soon afterall. There's very little business benefit in replacing mainframes, especially when the batch nature of their procesdsing actually earns you money in interest due to time delays. Plus try getting that investment case by the Board.
Windows 1 was fairly short lived, wasn't well received and I don't believe had an SNA client (SNA being a mainframe protocol) which would've been important when green screen terminals were phased out. The most likely candidate here is actually IBM OS 2 (and later OS 2 warp) which supported SNA out of the box. Quite a few of the "red screen" HSBC ATMs still run OS 2 Warp - you can see this when they crash, something I saw just after I put my card in of course. Quite a few ATMs are still based on Windows XP, upgrading to something newer being rather expensive.
Credit Card payments, the terminals and networks are bound by PCI DSS 2.0 regulations in the UK. You wouldn't keep your credit processing capabilities for very long if you ran something that wasn't compliant (it enforces standards like firewalls, passwords, patching etc). Believe me, I work for a large EU based payment procressing company, and our group gets bored to tears with this stuff - mainly because our section doesn't do any payment or personal data processing at all, but we have to do it anyway.
Two of my friends now pay for virtually everything by using their mobile phone.
One friend, a retired doctor, never carries cash, and hardly uses his bank cards, i am not even sure if he owns a wallet full of plastic, as everything is done through his mobile phone.
Recently, we went out for a nice meal in the local Indian restaurant, he paid using his phone.
Technology has certainly come a long way, and its possible that the next generation will have no use for cash, resulting in everything being conducted online, hence the trusty mobile phone.
Most of us now have a mobile phone, but paying for everything via a phone, that's the way forward for many.
Banks are now increasingly trying to get us to bank online, so in the not too distant future, bank notes and coins may be a thing of the past.
Mobile phone? Trusty? ??Sorry Dyfrryn, all the problems relating to cards are multiplied when using phones. I saw a fellow from the Met. in Victoria station once showing how many phones and laptops on people walking past were fully open to hackers etc. Most high school kids know a little bit about hacking, some of them have left school and find it easier to electronically rob people than do work or even run drugs.
My som is involved in security for the MOD and he told me they get thousands of attempts to break into systems every hour. the ones they really worry about are the ones who have been successful and undiscovered. He wont use a touch card or mobile phone or laptop for paying anything. His phone and all his cards are in an RFID protected wallet as is his passport when travelling.
I totally agree, mobile phone data theft is huge business, but its no different to banking online.
We simply have no idea who is watching our every move and financial transaction.
Ive lost count how many times the staff in my local branch of Nat West have tried to get me to adopt online banking, they even have a huge tv screen playing a video highlighting the main benefits of online banking, and they told me the branches long term viability would have no effect on whether i banked online or at the branch.
Its simply down to convenience and peoples so called reluctance to visit their local high street branch.
I can see in the next decade or so, the entire banking network being conducted online, with thirty branches of Barclays already closing this year in Wales, and some of those branches in populated areas.
The safety implications of doing my banking online scares me to bits, and i will be the last person alive to adopt the practice, but conducting every financial transaction online, through a mobile phone is seen as a very attractive proposition for many technology geeks.
That does not include me.
I'd expect most people under 25 or so don't use cash much at all.
Just stayed at Skidaw house recently cash only lots of small businesses still use cash although I take bacs payments. When I'm trading at outdoor events I only take cash but quite a few stalls have cards readers connected with their smart phones.
When walking in North Devon backcountry I arrived at the pub where I planned to eat and drink but after placing an order I realised that I'd forgotten my wallet. "Don't worry" said the barmaid, "You look like a nice man. You can pay later by phone." Perhaps it happens a lot around there but I was very grateful. It was also nice to hear that I look like a nice man.

Lucien M. Clemons Park one step closer to opening
Property officially transferred to the Village of Marblehead
October 28, 2016 Conservation Stories, News
Western Reserve Land Conservancy has officially acquired and transferred ownership of the former Lifeboat Station subdivision to the Village of Marblehead. The land will be soon be opened by the village as a coastal park, named after prominent local Coastguardsman Lucien M. Clemons. It will offer public access for fishing, bird watching and other passive recreation.
"This is a monumental day for the Village of Marblehead. With the leadership and guidance of Western Reserve Land Conservancy, the acquisition of Lucian M. Clemons Park has made a long awaited dream, a reality," said Village of Marblehead Mayor Jacqueline Bird. "This acquisition gives our administration great pride in knowing a village park with access to the shores of Lake Erie has been secured for our residents, visitors and future generations. The Marblehead community and many visitors to our peninsula have been behind this project from the start and we are ever so thankful for their support and patience. Lucian M. Clemons Park is a gem on the shores of Lake Erie in the Village of Marblehead."
The park property, once owned by the Clemons family, is nestled near Clemons Cemetery, not far from Marblehead Lighthouse State Park and the current Coast Guard Station. The park boasts more than 2 acres of open green space and nearly 3 acres of submerged land creating a serene inlet that will be permanently preserved and utilized as a public park. The park will provide Marblehead residents, vacationers and tourists with non-motorized boat access to Lake Erie, ideal fishing and birding opportunities, as well as a place to relax and enjoy the Lake Erie scenery.
Rich Cochran, president and CEO of the Land Conservancy, explained it is "an extraordinary opportunity" to make the site – already platted for a residential subdivision by the former owner – a public asset instead of another private development. More than 85 percent of the Lake Erie shoreline in Ohio is developed or privately owned.
In addition to providing public access to Lake Erie, the new park will complement regional tourism, which is the source of more than 2,800 jobs in Ottawa County. The inlet at the property provides great views of the lake and a rock break wall at the west end protects this cove. The village will work to restore pockets of native vegetation to attract local wildlife and migratory bird populations. Future plans call for public parking and restrooms across East Main Street on land already owned by the village.
"I am delighted that Lucien M. Clemons Park will officially open as a restored point of public access to our most valuable natural asset, Lake Erie." U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur shared. "Congratulations to the Marblehead Community, Mayor Jacqueline Bird, and the good stewards of Western Reserve Land Conservancy for providing a beautiful coastal connection for visitors and community alike."
Ohio Sen. Randy Gardner added, "I am excited that this project is moving forward, and pleased to have been part of the project support team. I am proud of the leadership of the Marblehead community to make this happen, which will provide special public access to one of Ohio's greatest natural assets, Lake Erie."
Funding for the project was generously provided by donations from individuals in the community; a Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program grant administered by the Ohio Public Works Commission; a Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program grant administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Office of Coastal Management; and a Nature Works grant administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Office of Real Estate.
Lucien M. Clemons, and his brothers Ai and Hubbard, were awarded the first-ever Gold Lifesaving Medals issued by the United States government for maritime rescue on the Great Lakes after saving two men from a schooner wreck in 1875. In 1876, Lucien was appointed as the first Keeper of the Marblehead Life Saving Station, one of seven original Life Saving Stations on the Great Lakes; he served in that position for more than 2 decades. Lucien M. Clemons Park Informational signage will bring to life the history and legacy of Lucien M. Clemons and the Clemons family; the park will forever be a testament to Marblehead's rich history of maritime rescue operations.
Rear Adm. J. E. Ryan, commander of the 9th Coast Guard District explained that Lucien M. Clemons played a prominent role in local and Coast Guard history. She said, "We believe naming the public park in Marblehead, Ohio after Clemons will strengthen the awareness and memory of the Coast Guard's long, respected history on the Great Lakes."
"The excitement in our community is palpable," stated John Starcher, president pro tempore of the Marblehead Village Council. "Our residents and the residents of our surrounding communities are very pleased to see the village take ownership of this property. We all look forward to its future as Lucien M. Clemons Park. This will be a lasting legacy for the Village of Marblehead, and words cannot properly convey how grateful we all are that Western Reserve Land Conservancy was able to help turn this dream into a reality."
Details about the official opening of the park will be announced by the Village of Marblehead at a later date.

Q: Cheapest way to measure .1uL volume of liquid being dispensed from pipette tip So I think this is going to be some kind of sensor... :P
I'm looking for ideas on the best way to measure a dispensed volume of .1uL from the tip of a pipette
This is for a open source medical liquid handler =] ...
- Fluid will be mostly transparent
- Pipette tips can be clear or black
- Will be measuring the displaced volume of 8 lines exiting a peristaltic pump
thoughts?

A: I suspect that the best solution is likely in the physical design of the pipette mechanism rather than in active electronic control based on feedback from the fluid itself.
Another possibility would be to use a stepper motor on your peristaltic pump.
In general though, precise metering of fluids is something that the biotech and medical equipment people have lots of solutions for, and they are usually either based on passive fluid properties (metering pipettes), or closed loop electromechanical drivers (peri pumps, syringe pumps*), but AFAIK not on feedback monitoring of the fluid itself.
For tiny volumes you can do some interesting things with piezo elements as pumps.
Browsing cole-palmer etc catalogs should give some ideas.
Probably you want an entirely separate cross-check scheme for calibration purposes.  If you don't suspect drop-to-drop variation to be an issue, you could just dispense a lot until it should match some easily measured quantity. If you are concerned about variation, a bit more creative thinking may be required.
*or a similar arrangement of a stepper or servo & screw driving lower volume metering device, such as a micro-pipette
If you really, really want to directly measure tiny quantities of fluid, I've seen video microscopy of inkjet nozzles done quite well.  For some fluids you want to backlight, for others you want reflected light at some angle (also consider IR vs visible, a camera is probably fine with either).  Having a known diameter of some feature on your nozzle makes it easy to calibrate the dimensions of your picture.  Once you've achieve a high contrast image, even quite primitive analysis can determine the diameter of a more-or-less circular droplet and from that the volume.

A: I think a digital caliper's sensor may be the right tool to measure the micropipette's piston displacement. Resolution is in the order of 1/100th mm, so that should agree with 10\$^{-1}\mu\$l.

A: I believe it is too difficult to dispense 0.1uL from a standard pump or even a specialized one.  Check the literature.  The method to do this is to either use microfluidics with fine channels or piezoelectrics (such as inkjet nozzles; professional heads exist for liquid dispensing at nanoliter volumes) or other exotic methods like acoustics (done in research labs experimentally).  Read the journal "Lab on Chip" to see what is being done in this area.  Once it is dispensed your best bet may be to measure the diameter of the droplet on a hydrophobic surface (via microscope) where the droplet can be assumed to be spherical.  Now if this were to use 1uL volumes, that might be doable reliably using very fine pipette tips or tubing.
There are commercial outfits who specialize in calibrating and validating pipettors.  They may have guidance on this and be able to offer a service quote ($$).


Many would say that comedy and funniness are the same thing. Not at all. Laughter is always a very nice outcome, of course. But if we can set aside this expectation, this need, and add some very handy tools and new perspectives, we'll be surprised by the adventures of misguided human beings simply doing their best.
Comedy Isn't Funny is an interactive presentation where we explore techniques and experiment with human behavior in order to effortlessly generate comedic characters and premises. We reframe our assumptions and approaches to comedy by exploring original tools, breaking down film and trying on some improv – all designed to intuitively inspire the art of comedy. For an hour or so, we set aside whacky hijinks, wordplay and silly walks and feel what it's like to be a deluded yet indefatigable human being. We discover that creating comedy can be as simple as setting free a flawed human and transcribing the results. In the end, we discover that funny is what makes us laugh but comedy tells the truth about people.
This mic intensive workshop for voice actors will challenge you to discover the comedic nugget in a radio commercial. You'll learn to recognize absurd situations, allow the script to open up, explore comic premises, and trust your performance the "funny" will happen by staying committed to the character's needs and wants.
You'll work with Sam Pond to perfect your comedy skills by focusing on characters, story, scene-setting and improvisation. As you perform scripts he's written, you'll get a rare opportunity to find out immediately whether your interpretations match up with what he originally envisioned, and if not, what you can do to get closer to the mark. In many instances, you'll also get to hear the actual produced spots and see how your performances compare.
A voice acting course? Well, yes. Comedy writing? Yes, that too. Improvising and and writing on our feet? Yes, a lot of that. Many of these techniques were designed for my recent course at Pixar Studios. Funny is what makes us laugh. Comedy tells the truth… about people. And comedy can be taught, even if you're not funny.

A lot of people normally think that visiting Egypt, a land synonymous with the ancient world of the Pharaohs, might be unaffordable for them. However, this notion is in reality not accurate any longer. Egypt is a land full of history and you are able to go there for a amazingly low price. Taking a plane to Egypt is not a heavy expense in the least, regardless wherever you reside. On that point are a lot of airlines that are all of the time sponsoring specials for people who are interested in visiting Egypt. You can today go for an affordable Egypt holiday holiday at a very low price, without being forced to spend huge sums of money. You will be able to take a flight to Egypt and see all the famed wonders and cultural heritage at that place without pressuring your bank balance.
Have in mind all of the sights that you are able to take in while you're in Egypt. There are so many attractive things to gaze upon such as the Nile River and the Great Pyramids that still carry so many different mysteries which researchers are still having a rough sledding solving. For sure, no country boasts up its listing of past attractions and heritages like Egypt does. In addition to this, you will be able to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Al Qahira, the busy Egyptian capital. Egypt holidays are like history on the doorsteps. Whether it is the unaltered temple at Abu Simbel, the Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temples, the Aswan High Dam, or the Valley of Kings in El-Aksur, there are so many things to do and so little time to explore during your Egypt holidays. For all this, you need not expend a large fortune. You will be able to make the best of the various cheap Egypt holidays which are made disposable by travel agencies, airlines or even the destination itself, in order to boost tourism to Egypt.
Egypt is unquestionably a land of celebrated beauty that also has a lot of unanswered questions. Your holiday Egypt can also include a visit to various sun, sand and sea destinations where you can bask in other luxuries such as shopping for uniquely Egyptian gifts and items. It can also include some great Egyptian land activities such as camel riding and horse riding. You are able to ride under the hot, bright sun and go through the amazing Red Sea, along with the numerous options of assorted sight-seeing in Egypt. This is sure enough a cheap holiday deal that one cannot go without.
Stunning pictures! I have never been to egypt before but it should be quite a sight. Amazing what they have done in those days!


Supreme Court Nominee is a fraud and an SNL cast member.
Like many of you, I watched the Supreme Court Nominee testimony in front of Congress. I noticed some people that I recognized as playing roles in the Fake events that surrounded the Trump protests so I knew I was looking yet again at another made for TV SNL Skit.
The Candidate is not who he says he is. I will get them credit for a really impressive makeup job on him and his spouse.
Since I have exposed his Lawyer as a government actor It would be safe to assume he is as well. Unfortunately, I have not been able to identify who he is. But as I have said before exposing others around that person is just as good to expose the event as staged.
Brett Kavanaugh looks suspicious too.
I like the work you are doing but at my retiree breakfast table I would not know how to respond to questions like this that will surely be asked when Gorsuch is being discussed in the context that you present.
How is it that his biography and the 2800 decisions that he has made as a judge are so favourably talked about by so many? He supposedly clerked for SCOTUS justice Kennedy. What connection does the actor playing Gorsuch now have with Gorsuch of the past as he was building his judicial career? How can there be so many in tune with a deception of this nature? Or is all of this just made up and published as supporting information?

I'll Review Anything: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Victor de la Cruz / May 8, 2013
One of the problems when a movie is risque is that the Philippine movie companies will get cold feet with showing it in the country. One of these movies is Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The movie has has quite a bit of crude humor, sex scenes… and a fully naked Jason Segel showing his penis for all to see.
I loved everything about the movie… even the penis thing (because it was funny and not because I like to look at penises).
The story of Forgetting Sarah Marshall is Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has been in a long time relationship with Sarah Marshall (played by the incredibly gorgeous and hot Kristen Bell), a successful television actress. One day, Sarah breaks up with Peter, which devastates him. He takes a vacation in Hawaii to try and get over his heartbreak. Unfortunately for Peter, Sarah is also in taking a vacation in the same resort with her new boyfriend, the flamboyant singer, Aldous Snow (played by Russell Brand).
Here's the full trailer of the movie:
The trailer doesn't really do the movie justice. The humor and jokes can be extremely juvenile and sophomoric but not to the point that they're groan-worthy. Also, besides the aforementioned full frontal nudity of Jason Segel, there are a lot of topless scenes of females as well. So, guys, there's something for everyone!
It doesn't hurt that the main female cast members, Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis, are incredibly easy on the eyes. Besides that, they both do a great job portraying their respective characters and it makes it easy to fall in love with both of them.
I'd be severely depressed too if Kristen Bell broke up with me.
Jason Segel does a good job playing Peter, the lovable sad sack of a character. Since Segal wrote the script for the film, he has a great understanding of the character and it shows. Peter is likable and you feel for him when all of the bad things happen to him.
However, it's Russell Brand's performance as Aldous Snow that steal every scene he's in. Apparently, the original script called for the character to be a prolific writer but, after seeing Brand's audition tape, it was decided to change him into a burned out, cocky rock star… which works incredibly well. Aldous Snow would probably be totally annoying if he was a real person, but, for the movie, you just can't help but enjoy his antics.
I'm not saying that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is going to be for everyone. As I mentioned, there's a copious amount of bare female breasts and the penis thing that I mentioned so people that are offended by these kinds of things will hate it immediately. The story isn't going to be groundbreaking or win awards for Best Screenplay or anything like that. But, taking it as it is, a comedy about breaking up with someone and moving on with your life, it definitely gets the job done.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall shouldn't be forgotten… see what I did there?
If you can, get it on DVD or Blu-Ray since the extras and bloopers are hilarious as well.
If you have any comments or suggestions of other romantic comedies that were probably not shown here in the Philippines, please mention them below!

Q: Kernel User I/O application development I've read up on the following links about User I/O:
http://www.hep.by/gnu/kernel/uio-howto/
and followed http://nairobi-embedded.org/uio_example.html.
I'm using the ivshmem device to map memory from the host to the guest (in QEmu). The client driver that I'm using is kernel_module/uio/uio_ivshmem.c from https://www.gitorious.org/nahanni/guest-code.
I've had success sharing the memory between several guests, and I can also issue interrupts from the host to the guest, using the ivshmem-server from the git repository above.
But I cant figure out how I can "interrupt" from the guest to notice that writing to the memory is completed. I.e. signal to the other guest that it should read what the first guest has written.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to send interrupts using UIO or can I only receive? How else am I supposed to notice that I'm done writing/reading?

A: Ok, I've now figured out why I cant send interrupts.
I did try using the test applications, but, as you can read in this (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg05388.html) post, a patch in the kernel broke uio_ivshmem.c.
This patch made ivshmem unable to map BAR0, which is used to send interrupts. BAR2 is still fine and can be used to share data, though interrupts wont work.

Trump's Trade Policy Is Stupid and Failed, WTO Ex-Director Says
Image symbolizing the trade war between the U.S. and China. | Photo: Twitter/ @mobileworldlive
The trade deficit is the consequence of the U.S. citizens having that "extraordinary privilege called 'dollar', which allows them to live on credit behind the world's back," Pascal Lamy recalled.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) former Director Pascal Lamy said that President Donald Trump's trade policy is "stupid" and "failed".
WTO: Trade Might Rebound Despite the COVID-19 Pandemic
"The results are negative on all fronts," Lamy stressed and explained that the starting point for his policy decisions is wrong.
"The goal was to reduce the trade deficit, which is a stupid idea since the U.S. deficit is explained by the fact that Americans save little and consume a lot. In addition, they have that extraordinary privilege called 'dollar', which allows them to live on credit behind the world's back."
"On the other hand, he has lowered taxes a lot and stimulated consumption and imports. The result: the deficit is at US$800 billion. It has never been so high since 2008," he said.
According to Lamy, the failure of the U.S. trade policy is also related to miscalculations regarding China as Trump considered that the Chinese case was a bilateral issue. Therefore, he did not allow Europeans to take part in the dialogues and believed that China should trade less in the world.
Trade warrior he's not.
As tRump tells Magats he's keeping China at bay, he's simultaneously increased our trade deficit in goods and decreased our surplus in services.
He's not so good at the math.

Several international economists assert that the U.S. economy has been the victim of Trump's trade war against China and estimate that consumers will be the ones who pay the cost of his policies.
"Trump's trade policy has brought few tangible benefits to the U.S. economy while undermining the multilateral trading system, destabilizing alliances with U.S. trading partners and creating a climate of unprecedented uncertainty," Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad said, as reported by The Canadian News.
Although tariff increases have protected U.S. producers in the short run, they have also increased production costs in the industry and revealed "America's dependence on Chinese suppliers," Paris-Dauphine University professor according to Gianluca Orefice said.

Q: How to dissect/parse 'a two-horse policy of stimulating renting and owning'? Foreword: Please beware that I already asked about my angst over 'albeit that' on ELU.
Source: p 5 of 16, Where is housing
heading?,  by Dr Peter Williams. 2014 June

What we have seen in recent years is a degree of caution by ministers in both pronouncements and policy
  regarding homeownership, with the coalition clearly backing a two-horse policy of stimulating renting and
  owning albeit that, as housing moved higher up the political ladder, there has been a clear shift towards
  the latter.

Does this excerpt truly reveal what is the specific two-horse policy here? I'm confused because the latter seems to refer back to owning in stimulating renting and
owning ? But then this alleged reference implies that stimulating was gapped as an ellipsis => stimulating renting and [stimulating]
owning. In other words, the latter truly means [stimulating]
owning.
Per contra, this excerpt concerns homeownership by the general UK public. A layperson can only rent or own; so nothing here resembles a horse race? Was two-horse used correctly and aptly here?

A: 'Backing a two-horse race' = betting on all possible outcomes.
As any gambler would know, that's no way to make money, as the bookie [turf accountant] will always want his profit margin.
So even though you 'win' whichever horse makes it past the post first, ultimately you are worse off.

Unholy Media
In order to fully serve our bands and artists with their needs regarding a digital release, we started this digital label. Our philosophy is to take bands and performers as much work as possible out of their hands so that they can concentrate on making music.
As a band or artist, it is important that you gather the right partners to try and achieve a higher level in the music industry. We are that partner, together we will ensure that you get the right attention you deserve, get the right tools to work with and put your brand on the right market.
Because we work closely with Profane Records and work with into the limelight Records Pt78 Records and Wayland Management we have been given the opportunity to approach the music industry differently. Traditional record companies hardly exist anymore, they also developed a new way of working but there is also a disadvantage here, it is even more difficult to get a record deal nowadays."
A record deal is just as important for bands and artists as it used to be, but these deals nowadays look very different from those in the past and that is precisely the reason why we started this company. We provide you and your band with endless possibilities and variations on our platform and hope in this way to make a record deal more accessible to many more artists and bands. We are convinced that you don't have to be a Metallica, U2 or Justin Beeber just to sign a record deal!!!
As stated above: as a label we can offer everything that a band needs to make a step forward because we have a professional back office in the Netherlands, these driven people understand the music industry. With all our roster bands we have agreed the same way of working in a contract for 1 year, which of course includes promotion and press releases up to 1000/5000 media contacts worldwide.
