Due to all the recent outbreaks of Pro-Hate Group protesting against the removal of Confederate statues across the country in combination of the Trump's Administration failure to distance himself from the violence, an growing number of Companies is taking steps to distance themselves from these White Supremacist groups. Spotify reports that it has removed a wide variety of music from it's streaming service that is considered "Hate Speech", after the publication Digital Music News exposed over 27 White Supremacist Hate Bands on the platform.
It's a shame that Spotify took this long to remove Hate speech from it's services and only after being exposed. Hopefully more companies will take better steps in insuring that their platform is safe and free of harmful content.


WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Garamendi (D-Walnut Creek, CA), a former Deputy Interior Secretary, today voted for important legislation that will help residents living in floodplains in the Sacramento-Delta region and across America attain better flood insurance. The Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act of 2010, H.R. 5114, passed by a 329-90 vote.
"We learned harsh lessons in California following the devastating 1995 floods along the Russian River. Far too many families lost everything because they didn't have flood insurance," said Congressman Garamendi, a longtime resident of the Delta. "This reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program will increase participation in flood insurance and improve coverage for millions of Americans."
The bill reauthorizes the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for five years and is intended to address and highlight those reforms deemed most essential for the immediate and near-term fiscal and administrative health of the NFIP. The bill also takes steps to ensure NFIP's continued viability over the longer term, by encouraging broader participation, increasing financial accountability, eliminating those premium subsidies that are unnecessary, and updating the flood insurance program to meet the needs of the 21st century. More than five million homes and businesses currently rely on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
"Most hydrologists agree that the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta together with New Orleans are the two most vulnerable flood prone regions in the nation," Garamendi added. "Today's House vote improving access to flood insurance is a good start. Tomorrow we must get serious about strengthening our levees system before it's too late."
Raises maximum coverage limits for flood insurance policies. New coverage limits are $335,000 (up from $250,000) for residences; $135,000 (up from $100,000) for residential contents; and $670,000 (up from $500,000) for nonresidential properties. This marks the first increase in coverage since 1994.
Creates an installment payment program for flood insurance premiums.
Increases penalties for lenders misrepresenting legal requirements in order to push borrowers to purchase coverage in excess of that which is legally required.
Establishes a National Flood Insurance Advocate to assist homeowners and businesses in resolving problems with FEMA related to the flood insurance program.
Delays the mandatory purchase requirement resulting from new flood maps for five years. Following the 5-year delay, allows for a 5-year phase-in of actuarial rates for newly mapped areas.
Allows flood mitigation structures built with non-federal funds to be considered for lower flood insurance rates.
Prohibits the imposition of mandatory purchase requirements on homeowners in communities that relied on data from FEMA to construct levees that subsequently won't be certified based on new data.

Canadian's suit against Harvey Weinstein proceeds, though lawyers say they still can't find him
Updated: December 1, 2017 1:42 PM EST

TORONTO — A lawsuit brought by a Ontario actress against Harvey Weinstein can be considered served even though lawyers have been unable to hand it to the disgraced Hollywood producer in person, an Ontario judge ruled Friday.
The actress, who cannot be named as she is seeking a publication ban on her identity, claims Weinstein sexually assaulted her while she had a part in a movie being filmed in and around Toronto nearly two decades ago.
None of the allegations have been proven in court and no statements of defence have been filed.
Earlier this month, the court gave the woman's lawyers permission to file a statement of claim despite their failure to serve Weinstein, who they said they couldn't find.
Toronto actress alleges Hollywood's Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her
No Harvey? No problem: Canadian actress's lawsuit against Weinstein going ahead
At that time, the court made an order for substitute service, meaning Weinstein could be served without having the papers put directly into his hands.
At a hearing on Friday, the woman's lawyer, Alex Smith, said no one had yet been able to find Weinstein to serve him personally. But the statement of claim had been sent to Weinstein's home, his criminal lawyer and a civil lawyer representing him in a separate lawsuit in Delaware, Smith said.
The judge presiding over the matter said the efforts of the woman's lawyers were enough to consider Weinstein served.
Weinstein still has not responded to the actress's lawsuit, in spite of the substitute service, Smith noted.
"While he hasn't found time to respond to the litigation in this court, he has found the time to issue a statement about … his decision to resign from the Director's Guild of America," Smith said.
The matter is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 15, giving Weinstein another chance to send a lawyer to respond to the allegations he faces.
The actress is seeking millions of dollars in damages, claiming she has suffered mental distress, social anxiety and depression, social isolation and feelings of guilt, worthlessness and shame as a result of Weinstein's alleged actions.
The woman's lawyers will eventually be seeking to move ahead with the claim without using her name, arguing that identifying her would cause irreparable harm to her mental health and well-being. An affidavit filed in court said she may not continue with the case if she must use her name.
Weinstein, an Oscar-winning film producer, faces sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations from several women.
On Oct. 8, he was fired from the Weinstein Company — the film studio he co-founded with his brother, Bob, in 2005 — days after the New York Times published a story detailing some of the allegations against him. Weinstein's representative Sallie Hofmeister has said Weinstein denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.

Why Bards Have More Fun (And Babies)
All observers of the human condition know that a good musician never has any trouble getting laid. It turns out there's now scientific proof that the ladies really do want to jump a musician's bones. The better the musician, the harder they jump! But there's a catch: They only want him when "the risk of conception is at its highest". They want your babies, musical gentlemen!
This new knowledge comes from British research reported in The Telegraph:
The study involved nearly 1,500 women with an average age of 28, who were not breastfeeding, pregnant or using hormonal contraception.
A group of women were asked whether they would prefer the composer of one simple melody, or a second more complex piece.
In each case they were asked whether they would prefer the composer as a short-term sexual partner, or a longer-term partner in a committed relationship.
The results showed that women only preferred composers of more complex music as short-term sexual partners when the risk of conception was at its highest, according to the study.
The same trend did not emerge when women were asked about visual artists, according to Benjamin Charlton, the paper's author.
The study, published in The Proceedings Of The Royal Society B, could account for the early origins of music and why creative individuals are considered so desirable for short-term sexual relationships.
The researchers believe it provides the first scientific support for Charles Darwin's theory that the prime function of music is to aid sexual courtship.

I would theorize that over the millennia, this would greatly increase musical ability and music appreciation throughout the populace. This would explain why we turn our rock gods into millionaires, by attending their concerts and buying their recordings.
John Lennon was once interviewed about their early (Beatles) life on the road with groupies (George Harrison once wrote a tribute song about the girls hanging around Apple's recording studios, called "Apple Scruffs"), and Lennon said something like "I won't go into any great details here, due to respect for the feelings of the other guys' wives, but I would describe it as often times like an orgy in the Fellini film 'Satyricon' ".
Perhaps one of your readers can find the original quote.

I will note that there is no level of performing musician so low in the pecking order that he won't attract significant female attention. I speak from experience. I say "he" because women seem to have no problem attracting male attention under any circumstances. I'm not saying you'll meet your dream date, gents, but if you aren't having any luck meeting women, learn to play the bass guitar (it's easy!) and join a band. Your luck will improve immediately. And you'll have a lot of fun in the bargain.

I ALWAYS go for the musicians. I thought it was because I am a musician myself (shared interests=compatibility), but I guess it was a baser desire. There's a reason why they put sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll together (and sex, I'm sure, is a drug).

Q: Swift variable conditional initialization: var with default value or let? In case of a variable that never mutates after initialization, does having a var cause a performance hit? There are situations where it's simpler to write
var value = 0
if conditions {
    value = 1
}

than
let value: Int
if conditions {
    value = 1
} else {
    value = 0
}

Is it negligible?

A: You can check it yourself, using a compiler explorer such as godbolt.
Compiled assembly from both methods is essentially identical, the jumps are just in different places, so there should be no performance difference whatsoever.
The scope of the variable is important though, when talking about local variables, the compiler should be able to optimise mutable local variables to the same compiled code as immutable ones (assuming your original example), but when talking about instance properties for instance, that is not necessarily the case anymore. The larger the scope of a variable, the harder it is to reason about whether it is ever mutated if you declared it mutable.
Modern compilers employ clever and efficient optimisations, so unless you work in a very restricted hardware environment (such as embedded systems with microcontrollers), which is usually not the case when developing with Swift, you shouldn't think about such micro optimisations (or rather premature optimisations).

Whoopi Goldberg Remembers Robin Williams: 'He Was My Big Brother'
Variety.com | By Brent Lang
Friends and family of Robin Williams gathered in New York City on Wednesday night to honor the late comedian and to mark the opening of a new acting center that bears his name.
"I think of him as my brother," said Whoopi Goldberg, who partnered with Williams and Billy Crystalon a series of Comic Relief fundraising specials. "He was my big brother and the funniest person that I knew, and anybody that dared to be as free as he did, has a shot to be as good as he was. That's the legacy. He dares you to be as good if you can be as free."
Goldberg was joined at the event by Crystal, as well as Hank Azaria, Bonnie Hunt, Carol Kane, Marlo Thomas, Phil Donahue, and Barry Levinson, who directed Williams to an Oscar nomination in "Good Morning, Vietnam."
Crystal told reporters that the occasion was a bittersweet one. He noted that that the center, which is sponsored by the SAG-AFTRA foundation, will offer free educational programming to more than 40,000 performers.
"We miss him terribly, but I think his spirit will live on through the building," Crystal said.
Bob Balaban co-starred with Williams in 1999's "Jakob the Liar," and came away impressed by the actor's generosity to his fans.
"The people that would come up to him on the street, they mattered to him," Balaban said. "He treated all human beings like human beings and as simple and obvious as that seems, not everybody's quite able to do that. "
Goldberg couldn't recall how she came to be involved in Comic Relief, but she said that the experience was even looser and funnier than what viewers saw at home.
"They had to cut a lot of stuff out," Goldberg said. "A lot of stuff we couldn't show."

Aligning the Abstract brand with our mission
How and why we're refreshing the Abstract brand
With the impending release of our new product Notebooks, we embarked on a brand refresh to align our brand with our new mission to help design teams gather and share context, track and assign work, tackle feedback, and ultimately deliver amazing products. While a brand is never quite done, we wanted to share the intentions and process behind the decisions we made to carry us into a new chapter of Abstract.
The history behind the brand
When we launched Abstract 2017, our goal was to bring the tools and methodologies developers use to version their work to design. Early on, we focused on setting up an overall aesthetic that we could use in marketing and in the app: color, typography, and a logo that informed other graphical elements. We leaned heavily on geometric shapes and their assemblage as a metaphor for the work we do as designers. The honest truth is that we were so focused on getting the app built and ready for scale, that when we launched we just used what we had at our disposal—and it worked for us until it didn't.
Original Abstract branding by Frank Chimero in 2016
As designers found value in version control, our vision grew and we wanted to bring this way of working to all different types of designers. We embarked on a rebrand to reflect this new vision and brought in Devin Jacoviello and Adam Ho to work alongside our internal team to elevate our brand and make it something new and unique that would appeal not only to product designers, but graphic designers and illustrators alike.
Updated branding by Adam Ho and Devin Jacoviello in 2018
Fast forward to 2020
As was the case for most companies last year, we experienced our fair share of change. Early in 2020, Kelly Watkins joined as CEO and we refocused our efforts on how Abstract can best support modern design teams. With the evolution of the design landscape and the rise in remote work on our minds, we built Notebooks, a design-specific platform where cross-functional teams can gather requirements, review designs, and continuously measure what works and what doesn't.
As an established brand that's launching something new, we needed to take time to reflect on how our visuals fit into the larger story. While we had a fondness for the previous brand, the dense visuals sometimes mirrored the highly technical nature of our Versions product. Git can be a little hard to grasp at first, which is why we made a brand video series explaining the concept. At this point in the process, we knew the brand refresh should address concerns that Abstract could be a simple and easy-to-use tool.
Diving into the process
Determining goals and principles for the refresh
As a part of this brand refresh we wanted to:
Signal the start of a new chapter for the company and product
Increase brand recall and shift overall brand perception
Add clarity to our new dual product offering
Create a brand that would be easy for any Abstract designer to pick up
Before we got too far ahead of ourselves, we had to develop new first principles for our brand.
Abstract is for everyone involved in Design
Abstract should be welcoming and approachable
Abstract is a storytelling tool that spends a lot of time with drawing and collaboration tools
Abstract is growing up: We are more confident
Abstract should stand out in the market, but also be appropriate and familiar
The new brand should be easy to reproduce in-house with a small team
The new brand should have a clear link to the visual design of the product experience
Scoping for a startup
This project was more of an evolution of our brand than a full rebrand. The scope was limited by both time and resources, so we focused on creating usable guidelines which we will continue to implement across print, web and in-product in the coming months.
We wanted to use the typefaces we've already licensed (GT America and Vesterbro) and keep the Abstract name and logo the same. These two decisions were easy because these fundamental parts of our brand have served well as a solid foundation so far. The typographic system, color palette, illustration, and iconography style is where we focused our work.
From brand principles to finalized guidelines, we spent 4 weeks on this project. Then spent 8 more weeks designing and building the Abstract brand touchpoints you experience today. Needless to say, we were moving fast and learning on the fly.
Finding alignment
After aligning on goals and scope, Vince Joy, our Staff Brand Designer on this project, and I both spent time apart exploring options for the new direction. Because we were working with many constraints, we had to be very intentional about what we should build and how that would be able to grow and adapt with the team.
After a couple of weeks of exploring many ideas, we brought in one of Abstract's original co-founders Frank Chimero for a fresh set of eyes. He helped refine a lot of our ideas and brought in a few of his own. This is when we really solidified the motifs that you see in the new brand.
Documenting our brand
As we started to refine our brand, we took to documenting it in two ways: brand guidelines built in Figma paired with an easy to digest Notebook that we could easily keep up to date with our new plugin. By using Notebooks to document this work we were able to review the work with stakeholders, but also provide useful feedback to our product team that influenced the product you see today.
The design process can be frustratingly messy, but that doesn't mean that you should lose confidence in the work. That mess can be surprisingly insightful, productive, creative, and energetic. Ideas can come from every direction. They can multiply, diverge, and converge. This is Abstract.
Our Mark
Our mark is the main point of interaction with the Abstract brand. It's "abstract," but always pointing and pushing forward. The Abstract icon is made up of a circle and arrow forming a lowercase A.
We didn't change our identity — it's still who we are as a company. The industry knows us, knows Abstract. We're simply working to expand that reach.
Our new type system is based on subtle changes that pack a huge punch. We are still using GT America for our main body typeface, but now we're bringing it into titles as well. To help support GT America we are adding GT Super, the serif, to the family. We use a combination of the two to create a unique typographic style.
Remember when I said we were on a tight budget? The team was very conscious to use the fonts we already had licensed to reduce cost. But after pairing GT America and Vesterbro together in the same sentence, we saw there were some inconsistencies in the type pairing.
We decided to use GT Super Book as our serif in headings and titles. We made this switch because of the familial characteristics that allowed GT America and GT Super to pair so well together.
All type is set in GT America by default, and we selectively add GT Super to headings for subtle emphasis, clarity, or wherever the sentence naturally breaks.This is intentionally not taking the place of an italic.
To reinforce the idea of Abstract as a context layer on top of design, we use the visual language of annotations. These annotations can show all the stages of the design process: reviewing work, suggesting changes, asking questions, and ultimately making decisions.
We use a handwritten font to reveal the human side of working this way. This font was created by Vince using his own handwriting in the iFontMaker app for iPad.
Our new color system is still based in black and white, like the previous Abstract brand. We have updated our classic yellow, green, and brown to be more bright and friendly and added two new colors: pink and blurple. Abstract has a long history with the color blurple and we even had hints of it in our app icon until the release of our new Big Sur icon. Many of our color decisions were made based on internal and external feedback around the brand having an opportunity to improve in friendliness and approachability.
The Abstract color system relies on black and white initially, but that doesn't mean a lack of color. The primary colors use a mix of functional dark and bright colors for type and backgrounds, but there is also an extended color palette with distinct 'core' colors and their accompanying shades. In-product we use a few supplementary colors that support positivity, success, and accessibility where brand colors fall short.
In order to create a structure with our new brand, we have a few motifs to lean on.
Sheets are a nod to our new product Notebooks. Sheets come in all shapes and sizes. They usually have two rounded corners and two hard corners. The radius of the corners have a range of scales to fit a wide variety of contexts. Sheets could be pages from a book, sticky notes, or something in between.
To build an extra layer of depth to these sheets, we build a system of guideline grids. These can be helpful but aren't required. When it comes to these grids we use various styles and sizes, from dots to lines and even rulers.
When building collages of our brand elements, we always try to find alignment. Not all elements need to have firm alignment, but there should be a noticeable direction in which you're leaning. Abstract is focused on helping product teams be aligned in the work they are doing, so it felt natural to bring this into the brand.
We use tables to help organize information, making it easier to digest. Tables should help add hierarchy to your design, but not be used as simply a decorative element. Think of the table as a cousin of the spreadsheet. "Cells" can have their background color changed to highlight their contents.
Previously, Abstract brand's human connection was mostly made through our brand videos. In the spirit of keeping the work human, we feature photography in the new brand starting with the characters for our brand videos.
We use photography to center the diverse range of people who use our product. Since we created this brand during a pandemic and with a small budget, we repurposed stills from the brand videos we produced back in 2019. While they aren't perfect, our cast of characters are holding their own in still form.
Abstract has four types of illustration styles to help support written communication. They are not meant to be used simply as decoration. These tiers of illustration go from sketch icon, to three-dimensional spots, to isometric editorial, and finally to two-dimensional abstract illustrations.
The icons and spots have a place within our brand and product, however, the two editorial types will be seen more on our website and blog. We created this range of styles in order to plan for the fast-paced work that comes with being a startup and knowing we would not always be able to create full isometric illustrations.
Bringing the brand to life in our product
In the past, our product and brand have never quite felt related. We had a big opportunity during the build-out of Notebooks to bridge this gap. Our new web app allows us to do things like bring GT America to the product, which was previously not possible due to licensing. We also brought our new color palette into the app and helped our product team expand the palette to meet their needs. Our sheet motifs, brand characters, and handwritten annotations also may make an appearance in the product as well.
A brand is never done. If anything, creating these guidelines was just the beginning of our new visual identity here at Abstract. Our team is continuing to build upon this brand every day. We are learning what works well, and where we have room to improve. We launched the refreshed brand earlier this year, and you can see it throughout our website and in our products.
Want to talk about the process or ask me some questions? Send me a tweet at @dainal.
This project was a huge team effort. Vince Joy was my partner in crime throughout the creation of the brand, and Tim Gilligan came in to help bring the brand to life on our website. We also had help from Frank Chimero to help shake out our ideas and Joanna Ławniczak with some of our bigger illustrative pieces. We also couldn't have brought this to life without the Webflow skills of Alex at Finsweet, and the emotional support from our internal team members Alison Harshbarger and Sarah McIlwain.


Description: The LA-250 is a 200W 140-150MHz amplifier, at 1 to 20W input (13.6V 30A). It uses 4 Mitsubishi RD70 Mosfets mounted on a copper heat spreader (200x60x3mm).
You can write your own review of the RM Italy LA250 VHF amplifier.
I'm using an LA 250V (the one with fans) for contesting with portable setup. I know that for serious troposcatter a 500 W PA is minimum but for portable operation with 12 V batteries 200 W is the best I can find on the market. I use it with 12 V SLA cell, no inverter, no power supply.
I measured the insertion loss with an SDR and it's about 0.2 dB. The pickup noise is negligible so I have to disagree to who says it's about several dB. I can't tell the difference while receiveing with and without it on an Airspy SDR and on a Kenwood TM-255E (known for the good sensitivity).
The onboard power meter is not a calibrated instrument and does not measure SSB PEP. You can only use it as a indication on FM.
With the TM-255E at first I had some problem of overshooting that put the LA 250V in protection but then I calibrated the radio to avoid the ALC involvement and to output about 10 W in low power mode. This ways I no longer have protection issues and I have about 170 / 180 W output. Reports on voice quality are always good.
- Glad I didn't get the fans -- I don't see that it would need it unless you were running 100% duty at high power.
- Amplifies as advertised. I tested at drive levels from 1/2-30W (5-25 in 1W increments), and actual output hit ~200W @ 5W and 250W @ 10W in. Casual SSB listening showed output to be reasonably linear at all power levels.
- The amp's power meter's off. Input reads ~40% lower than actual. Beware - this also affects the over-input protection! Output also read 20-40% lower than actual, depending on level.
- The bypass isn't a 100% bypass. If you want to run a radio w/ more than 50W, or use UHF, you must completely switch this amp out of the circuit. I repeat: do not try to use 70cm through the amp, even in bypass mode.
- Not only does it lack a receive preamp, but with the amp in-line, I find that signals degrade by 6-10dB by my guess. Yes, it's bad. If I'm working a station weak enough that I feel the need to use the amp, I often have to switch the amp out (tedious - 2 coax switches) to still hear them.
The stick-on front panel wasn't aligned quite right and the screws forced it over. It unsticks and bulges out in a couple of areas. Disappointing for such an expensive piece of equipment.
I have used this amplifier nightly for 3+ months with no problems. It's a winner!
When fed with 11 watts from my TS-790A the output is 204. Heat is no problem, even without the fans. With only 2 watts in, the output is 125 watts (this is where I run it mostly). The amp is physically very large.
I really like the display. It shows input power, output power, SWR and heatsink temperature. It has foldback and will operate to 2.8:1 VSWR. I have tried all the protection features and they work perfectly to protect the amp.
My only wish is that it had a low noise receive preamp.
Although I have had issues with previous versions of RM Italy VHF amplifiers, this new design is rock solid. I can recommend the LA250 amp.


TEHRAN (FNA)- Political Analyst Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm says the Israelis have long been trying to provoke Iran and its allies into a response in order to portray Iran as an antagonist in the Middle-East to justify the United States' intensifying hostile policies against the country.
Israel's Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said that Israeli forces have struck "nearly all Iranian infrastructure in Syria." The news comes as US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal. Sputnik spoke with Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm, a political analyst, on the recent Isaeli attacks on Syria.
Sputnik: Israeli rockets targeted an Iranian military base hours after President Trump announced his decision to pull the US out of the nuclear deal; does this escalation of tension in the region come as a surprise to you?
Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm: The Israelis have long been trying to provoke Iran and its allies into a response in order to show that Iran is the antagonist in this story and Iran is trying to escalate tensions in West Asia and the Middle East and to justify a US withdrawal from the JCPOA.
Iran refrains from providing a response to these escalations and provocations. The Israelis have apparently been taken by surprise because they believe this has been Iran. I personally do not think so because Iranians use long-range missiles with high explosive power, this has been a barrage of rocket attacks and I believe this has been most probably Syria. I believe Israelis should still wait for more.
The Iranian leader has been repeating in the last several months one key sentence, and that has been that the "era of hit and run is gone". That means the Israelis insist on escalating sanctions, the right party could show some restraint for some time and after the red lines are crossed, action will be taken.
Sputnik: Can you elaborate more on the West trying to start a new military conflict in Syria?
Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm: After Iran and Russia entered the battlefield, everything changed. Terrorists that were deployed at the gates of the capital, were pushed back and they sustained very heavy defeats. Now the future of Syria is moving along the lines that are shown by Iran and Russia. While, the Geneva talks that were started by the US, its regional and European allies ended in nowhere and nobody cares anymore for those talks.
When you have the upper hand in the battlefield, you also play the stronger role and you also have the lion's share in the future of the political talks and the political solution to the problems.
Now that the United States and its allies have lost their role they are trying to impose new battles, small and medium sized battles, on the Syrian battlefield in order to impose themselves on this formula.
They cannot stop Iran and Russia's victories but they are doing their best in order to block the pace of these victories and take the solution of this Syrian crisis hostage to be given a role by Iran and Russia, even though a small one.
Sputnik: Israel has been divided over mister Trump' decision with some experts saying that Tehran was compliant with the conditions over the agreement and there is still need for some kind of a deal. What's your take on that?
Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm: Trump is driven by a number of factors. First by domestic policies, in the meantime he is driven by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the hawkish man and also by the Saudis. The US is not loyal, at least Donald Trump as president is not loyal to any deal. He believes the US should be first and to be honest with you, the world today, the UN, the UN Security Council, and other international bodies are taking no action to punish the United States.

Topic video - Immediate and near-term impact of digital disruption
Watch our panel of experts discuss the immediate and near-term impact of digital disruption on the shipping industry and offer practical advice on how to cut through the hype surrounding automation and digitalisation. This panel was filmed at the Lloyd's List Business Briefing Oslo on 29 May 2017.
Scroll down for full video transcript
We have a fantastic afternoon lined up for you today. I'm very grateful that some of the biggest brains in the business have accepted our invitation to talk about opportunities and threats in the shipping industry.
We talk about modernise or sync, we talk about digitise or die, or we even say things like big data is for us like sex is for teenagers, are you thinking? So, everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so I think this is also one of the articles recently published in Lloyd's List, it's a good way to describe digitalisation in shipping.
Gentlemen thank you very much for joining us, before we started we asked each of you a very simple question, we asked our experts from both of the panels to identify which digital innovation they expect to have the biggest impact on their businesses over the next 24 months. Now, we will get into some detail, but can I ask that we start there, and just give a flavour of your positions on this, Knut you've already started us off there but give us a little bit more depth in terms of how you see innovation affecting DNV GL and the role of class?
I think if I look at one of the really high potential developments it's what we are doing now with machine learning to really put smart algorithms in place to help speed up the responses that we are providing to our customers on technical questions.
Want more expert opinion on digital disruption? For interviews, videos, infographics and reports, visit our dedicated topic area. Just click here!
Now we just hired a digital trainee, so this is a machine learning algorithm, she's been with us now for about three months and she has the accumulated knowledge of about 200,000 questions and answers on technical subjects, and the speed that in which she learns is truly amazing, and we are using her now to direct these questions that we are getting from our customers to the right expert in the organisation. The next step, which I think will take place in a couple of months' time, is that she will also come up with the proposed answer and then the technical expert can validate that response, and I foresee that we will really speed up the response time incredibly by doing that. So, it's pretty amazing in three months she has the accumulated knowledge of 200,000 questions and answers.
Lloyd's List journalists in the audience take note, you can be digitalised. Ari, I mentioned Blockchain because that was something we were talking about but I think our discussion has gone beyond that to some extent, you are a believer in technology and the power for its change but very much now seeing a more pragmatic reality I think, would be fair to say?
I was reflecting on it when you made your introduction that it's very easy to see where we want to go, kind of the other side of the river, and then it's very easy to see all the practical challenges we have here, but it's kind of hard at this time and age to see the bridge from here to there. There is a lot of dust in the air at the moment, there's a lot of hype, you called it fluff, I think we're likely at peak digitalisation in the sense that it can't get much more; the balloon is pretty expanded at this point in time, that being said I firmly believe in, I think and your example Knut is great, there is massive potential but we certainly have to navigate our way and find the next stone to cross this river.
I am a little bit worried about companies fearing that everyone else is doing a lot and going off and making big investments and thinks that might be a little bit rash, particularly when it comes to Blockchain and other technologies that I think are important from a supply chain basis, meaning that we actually need to interact with each other. I think it's important that we collaborate, that we actually talk together and that we don't compete on having the best and the biggest and the shiniest, that won't take us to where we want to go.
Andrea, do you have the biggest, the best and the shiniest? Are you investing heavily in digital twins and digital assistants to get some efficiency into the V Group fleet?
Yes, and I want to first make a small step back. I feel myself, I feel old because I feel privileged because when I finished university I came in the industry in the hype of automation. It was middle of the 80s and was another revolution, maybe the; I don't know this is 4.0 revolution that was 3.0, the automation, and I was in a very exciting; I was very lucky to be in a very exciting project for Saipem, one of the biggest semi-submersible drilling rigs, Norwegian design, so I was at home in Oslo and she is still operating in the Norwegian sector, she has expanded this rig, the Scarabeo 5 spent all their life in the Norwegian sector and at that time I remember I was project manager and we were designing for 4,000 input and output signals from the automation and eventually... I was 30 years younger and very excited and with great hopes and there it was automation will replace the human beings, and still after 30 years automation is supporting but still we have the drilling rigs with the same amount of people, the vessels with 25 person, maybe we cut two or three positions but no big changes.
I think that digitalisation is impacting us the same as automation impacted us. The important thing is not data, it is the Connected Ship because we have the data on board we need to take them ashore. We all think when we talk about digitalisation we talk about the cruise vessels, the offshore where the pipelines are huge in communication, we have 60,000, maybe not, you have better data, 60,000 bulk carrier tankers where you have 20 people on board and very little connection.
Two years ago we made a survey, just out of the 1,000 ships we manage only 40% were connected decently to get decent use of data, now it's increasing, the communication price is going down and this is the important thing, and together with this I think like in automation is that common sense has to prevail, we will still have human beings on board because I; and I try to be a little bit provocative here, I don't see the autonomous vessel being replicable for the 60,000 seagoing vessels around the world so we will still have the human element on board.
The important thing that a lot of people do not take is we need to translate this data with algorithm for decision support system for the people onboard and ashore because without this automatic algorithm that are translating the data in decision support system for the people who manage the vessel we will fail.
We will inevitably come back to that point in just a second, but before I do I want to give Christopher a quick opportunity to come in with an opening statement. I put Christopher on these panels largely because I find him very compelling, but also, I like watching everybody's jaw drop when he effectively sort of spells the doom mongering that goes on in shipping, but does it in a very compelling way.
Christopher your latest report due to come out, I've had the pleasure of reading an advanced copy, well 30% of it, I can't quite bring myself to get to the shipbuilding bit yet, but I will do once I've had a few drinks. Give us the brief synopsis of where we are, for anyone who doesn't know Christopher is; I described him as the Cassandra in Chief because he keeps saying, "the future is coming, the future is coming", and more and more people unfortunately are now believing him, so what does the future look like in your book?
I would like to take a slightly different perspective into the question than I had planned because I would like to follow-up on your comments. To my understanding the 4.0 is not necessarily only about autonomous or digitalisation or whatever we would like to call it, to me the challenge is we have a more fundamental change going on here. On the one hand, we have an aging consumer base in the OECD basically, that basically means that all global consumers are about to retire, this is not to say they will not continue to spend but our spending behaviour will change towards services that are not seaborne driven, so that basically means that we are about to see global trade volume stagnating. And now we come back to the combinatorial effects of the 4.0 revolution, because why I think that the 4.0 is about more than just; not just; I know that it's extremely complicated and please excuse me, but about autonomous, this is about we may not necessarily need the same amount of fossil fuels in the future, so instead of having unarmed drilling rigs, this is much more about looking into the effects we have seen with renewable energies.
Today we can see that both solar and wind energy are compared to a non-subsidy basis in most of the sunny parts of the global economy, in particular in southeast Asia, this is a place that matters the most because this is the place where everybody is investing in new ships hoping that the future demands will come from due to population growth, so when these regions we are basically being about to provide electricity at a grid parity level with fossil fuels, but on a smaller investment level with a quicker repayment period, this is a very significant change in energy outlook both for the energy sector of course but in particular also for the shipping sector. So, basically what we're saying is that in most of all ship segments we should not expect to see major increases in demand for the next 15 year plus, something like that, so this goes basically much more beyond all the things we are seeing digitalisation in our business model, this basically means that as a banker at least what this is about is we have to pick the right winners of tomorrow because there will be a lot of struggles in the next few years, the market will not turn in 12 months, 18 months whatever. But of course, shipping will still need ships and we will still need fossil fuels but the growth in these commodities is much less than what have seen in the past, so we need to adapt to a new situation.
It's interesting because we talk about digitalisation in the broader sense of the term but obviously these things do not exist in isolation, the decision to invest in technology one way or another does not happen without understanding and having a view on where the markets are going, it doesn't exist without having a view on where the regulatory future of the industry lies, so these decisions are not being taken in isolation and we can't really view digitalisation as a single decision, but it does feel like we are in the midst of some fairly fundamental change, on a market level, on a technology level, and it feels like we are shifting towards something that is perhaps greater than the sum of these individual conversations and I think it's certainly something I take from each of these comments.
John, in terms of your relationship as a stakeholder within this industry, I am interested in the relationship you have with partners, because you're coming in and offering digitalisation services and you are working on a number of live projects with the shipping industry. What's your impression of how realistic the expectations are from your customers and are we, as an industry, ready to digitalise, are we doing this properly?
First of all, I think we already there, we are talking about digitalisation every day and the industry have done it for many years. When we move into customer engagement, they are already well aware what they really want to do with the technologies that they have available right now. What is the problem is what also was in the other panel discussion, what about the future? What about building some kind of a bridge from where we are today to be where we really want but nobody really knows the technology in twelve, eighteen, twenty-four months' time.
When we discuss digitalisation technology with our customers, it is more about really understand to build a trust relationship and do it an agile way of working and an agile partnership where you develop, based on the technology that is available on the market.
The engagement that we are doing as well is together with partners, you are right, we can't do this alone. We are from a different industry, we are coming from IT Telco. What we are doing is that we have a lot of experience from other industries. We try to take all these great experience and knowledge from other industries, bring it in to the maritime, not only shipping. I think we have too much focus on only shipping, it's about maritime. It's about the whole logistic chain to be connected together.
So, it's really about how you, in the maritime industry, try to find the right partners to secure that you are connected and that you do the journey together. I believe that, Ericsson believe and also together with our partners, this is a journey based on HR management because the technology...what you wanted to buy yesterday is already outdated tomorrow so that's why we need to be in a position to make a big change management. I think that is one of the biggest challenges in the maritime, also in the oil industries, change management. Also, how do you change the behaviour of human because it's you and me that needs to work with the new and latest technologies. So, it's not about making the internet smarter or the shipping smarter, I think it's more, how can I make the human smarter to use the technologies.

Interview: Andrew Davidson: A dandy dresser in designer heaven
Selfridges' Peter Williams conquered Birmingham with his new store last week. But is he a natural retailer with the clout to power the group forward?
Sunday September 07 2003, 1.00am, The Sunday Times
"Do you like 'em?" asks Peter Williams, flipping his feet up on to his long white desk to show me. His black winkle-pickers taper into an exaggeratedly sharp apex, a good few inches past his toes. "I don't see why only women should be allowed to wear pointy shoes, do you?" Williams, a compact, chatty man, grins widely. As boss of Selfridges, the department store that worships brands, he has, it seems, become a bit of a poster boy for the shop's products. On the morning we meet at the company's London West End head office, he is topping his pointy shoes with a mint sorbet suit and abundant white shirt, setting off his deep tan, hairy chest and luxuriant moustache. It's a bit like

Star of Urbanite Theatre's 'Scorch' goes from the classroom to the stage
Amber McNew's acting journey continues on the Urbanite Theatre stage— in an edgy play her former teacher is directing.
by: Marty Fugate Contributor
Amber McNew is now in hot pursuit of her master's degree in acting at The FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training. She graduates in 2020 and has already portrayed a range of challenging characters, including Lady Anne from "Richard III," Rachel from "Reckless" and Lotty from "Enchanted April."
Kes is her latest role — the gender-curious protagonist of "Scorch," Stacey Gregg's one-person play. As McNew sees it, Kes might just be her most challenging character yet.
But McNew knows she's in good hands: Summer Dawn Wallace, one of her most influential acting teachers in her first year at the conservatory, is directing the play.
Wallace was filling in for Andrei Malaev-Babel, who was on sabbatical in 2017. The course taught the Nikolai Demidov technique, an offshoot of the Stanislavsky method. Demidov's system draws on yoga-style breathing techniques to calm the mind and focus awareness. From there, actors learn to drop their masks, trust their spontaneous gut responses and not overthink their roles. McNew took her lessons to heart.
'Scorch'
When: July 26 – Aug. 25
Where: Urbanite Theatre, 1487 Second St., Sarasota
Tickets: $30; under 40, $20; Students, $5
Info: Call 321-1397, or click here.
Wallace remembers her as a student with feeling. "Amber is a courageous, talented actor," she said. "She's not afraid to risk failure and try something new. She always brought out the best in her scene partners."
Without giving too much away, "Scorch" is a love story revolving around a nuanced, introspective and gender-curious teen.
Gregg's one-person play is an X-ray of the soul. Wallace had only one person in mind for the part: McNew, of course. She was still in Wallace's class at the time.
"The second I read the play, I wanted to do it with her," Wallace said. "I couldn't wait."
The window opened while McNew was performing the lead role in the Asolo Conservatory production of Craig Lucas' "Reckless." Brendan Ragan was directing, and the show was going great. What could be better?
Perhaps the experience of being approached by both co-artistic directors of Urbanite Theatre, who then inform you they want you for a demanding part.
The young actor read the script that night. "The script spoke to me," McNew said.

"Amber blew us away at the first reading," Urbanite Artistic Associate Director Daniel Kelly said. "My reaction was, 'We could sell tickets now. What are we going to do for the rest of rehearsal?'"
McNew started out at a high place, but that didn't mean she had no place left to go.
She described her rehearsals as a journey of constant discovery. For McNew, much of the joy of acting is getting to know the people she becomes. She has had the pleasure of playing several unique individuals. But Kes is a completely different person.
"Kes is the first queer role I've ever played," McNew said. "I didn't fully know who my character was. … Kes is an actor's roller coaster. This character just continued to unfold for me throughout rehearsals — physically, emotionally and on every level."
McNew and Wallace quickly got to the heart of the character.
"Amber and I worked together in acting class 15 hours a week for five months," Wallace said. "We speak the same language and fully trust each other. It moved things along very quickly."
After weeks of intense rehearsals, McNew and Wallace got to know Kes. Now they can't wait to introduce her to Sarasota.
"Kes is a beautiful person with a beautiful story," McNew said.

Teaching Nutrition Lesson Plans - Coaching preschoolers healthful eating may be challenging. Their little taste buds are drawn to candy treats and salty crispy ingredients (aren't all ours?), So it's no longer constantly clean to steer them to select wholesome consuming selections. Properly aspect preschoolers aren't always in fee, proper?.
These fruit and veggie pattern playing cards are the perfect addition to any math middle. The set consists of each ab and abc sample cards, and the sets are divided by using end result and vegetables, so it's easy to simply pull out a smaller set. Over 30 sample playing cards covered!.
Those riddles are just the proper problem for preschoolers. Every card has 3 clues. Set out two photo cards that may be viable solutions (like two fruits, one obviously being the answer). Read the riddle, one clue at a time, to the preschoolers till they wager the fruit or vegetable. After the preschoolers discover the answer, it's a laugh to speak about the answer and their enjoy with it.

Ashland Stock Is at an All-Time High—What's Driving It?
By Peter Neil
May. 31 2018, Updated 9:01 a.m. ET
Ashland's fiscal 2018 stock performance
So far, Ashland (ASH) has seen strong growth in 2018, a continuation of its success story in 2017. On a year-to-date basis as of May 25, the stock has risen 11.0%.
In comparison, its peers Celanese (CE), Eastman Chemical (EMN), and Westlake Chemical (WLK) have risen 6.9%, 14.7%, and 11.2%, respectively.
Ashland's stock price gained momentum after it reported strong fiscal second-quarter earnings. Ashland reported fiscal second-quarter sales of $974 million, an increase of 21% over the previous year. ASH's adjusted EPS stood at $1.06 compared to $0.70 in the previous fiscal year. ASH also initiated steps to cut $120 million in expenses related to its Corporate and Specialty Ingredients segment's selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Ashland also made an upward revision to its adjusted EPS guidance to the range of $3.30–$3.50 compared to its earlier guidance of $2.90–$3.10. All these positives drove the stock to an all-time high of $79.2.
ASH has maintained that its free cash flow for fiscal 2018 will be $220 million. However, in the first six months of the year, its free cash flow remained negative.
Moving averages and RSI
ASH's strong gains resulted in it trading 24.5% higher than its 100-day moving average price of $63.46, indicating the prevailing bullishness in the stock. However, investors need to be cautious, as its 14-day RSI (relative strength index) is at 65 and inching toward a temporary overbought position. An RSI of 70 or higher indicates that a stock is overbought, while an RSI of 30 or lower indicates that a stock is oversold.
Investors can hold Ashland indirectly by investing in the iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF (MDYV), which has invested 0.6% of its portfolio in ASH as of May 25.

Shrinking the news… and our democracy
What's the No. 1 source of news for most Americans? The internet, you say? Nyet. The New York Times or Wall Street Journal? Uh-uh. Some fear that it's Fox TV, the shameless spewer of right-wing hokum. But, no, not even close.

What's the No. 1 source of news for most Americans? The internet, you say? Nyet. The New York Times or Wall Street Journal? Uh-uh. Some fear that it's Fox TV, the shameless spewer of right-wing hokum. But, no, not even close.
The reality is even scarier than Fox. Get ready to shudder, for America's top news source is: your local television stations. Yes, the daily purveyors of car wrecks and features on the season's biggest zucchini are the media outlets keeping the masses informed on the issues of the day. Should we laugh, fall down sobbing, or just go bowling?
In fairness, some local stations do a cracker-jack job, but few even meet a functioning democracy's minimum daily requirement for "news to use" – chiefly because they're nearly all owned by corporate chains that constantly cut reporters and editors and shy away from aggressive reporting, especially any reporting on major advertisers.
Now, though, another corporate contagion is spreading throughout TV-land, further shriveling the ability (or even the desire) of local stations to fulfill their news reporting duty to the public. Call it "cookie-cutter" news. Rather than competing to dig up the best stories, two or more stations in a city have been quietly signing "shared services agreements," meaning they share one news director, video reports, local interviews, graphics, office space, and even t

Startups: Meet Dozens of OC Investors March 21!
Senior Full Stack Developer Wanted - Irvine CA
Tech Coast Angels announce successful 15x CaseStack exit
Local OC angel investors recently realized a 15x return from a 2003 investment in CaseStack thanks to its $255 million sale to Hub Group, Inc..
IRVINE, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 14, 2019
Tech Coast Angels (TCA) announced its sixth highest exit ever when Hub Group, Inc. recently purchased CaseStack for $255 million.
This successful exit was unique in many ways: the exit had a very high return (15x); the length of time to exit was nearly 15 years from the time of initial investment; and CEO/founder of CaseStack continued to shepherd the company from founding through to acquisition.
CaseStack's proprietary Software-as-a-service (SaaS) provides non-asset based logistics, supply chain, and less-than-load (LTL) shipping solutions to consumer packaged goods companies and warehousing firms. The company's fit with the Hub Group, a leader in freight transportation management, delivers great opportunities in the industry.
"CaseStack had created a SaaS model that was a perfect match for customers–and creating customers–well before SaaS was a trend," said Bill Collins, co-deal lead and TCA long-time member. "Small but successful consumer companies like Celestial Seasonings and Hansen's Sodas could manage their logistics without having to purchase and maintain software. What we saw back in 2003 was a unique, effective solution to a problem: one that would elevate to hypergrowth with an estimable answer for an emerging customer base."
Collins and the late Bill Hahn, co-deal lead, articulated the expected hypergrowth, and the pair successfully explained CaseStack's uniqueness and its expected customer base upsurge to other TCA members and investors for the Series A Round of $470,000 in 2003. The company went through additional funding rounds over the 15-year period, and also spun off another company, SupplyPike, that has an annual revenue of $2.0M, from which the initial investors benefited.
The average angel investment-to-liquidity time is about seven years. Although CaseStack continued to thrive, grow customers, and succeed for 15 years between investment and sale – including topping Deloitte's Fast50 list – this deal was also an exercise in patience. The majority of angels and VCs were surprisingly patient for the duration. Collins credits CaseStack's founder and CEO, Dan Sanker, as well as Hahn.
"Dan Sanker inspired confidence and showed fortitude. Sometimes investors don't believe founders can go the distance, but Dan is unique: he has the right mix of passion, the insight and the leadership skills," said Collins. "Bill [Hahn] continued to be an incredibly good liaison: as an observer on the CaseStack Board of Directors for twelve years, he regularly communicated developments and progress to the investors."
"It was always a pleasure working with the Tech Coast Angels," said Sanker. "TCA is one of the best organized groups and almost all of the participants are involved for the right reasons and have robust business backgrounds. They truly understand how to grow businesses."

Prevent Chargebacks. Recover Revenue. Grow Your Business.
chargebacks steal profits and threaten a business's longevity.
The Chargeback Company offers a comprehensive, two-part chargeback management solution: preventing and fighting chargebacks. At each stage of this two-fold approach, our chargeback experts use innovative strategies to minimise risk, optimise profitability, and ensure long-term growth.
Merchants must manage chargebacks based on their source, not ambiguous reason codes. Otherwise, management tactics only address the symptoms, not the actual problem.
In the context of chargebacks, seemingly insignificant errors and business best practice oversight can lead to substantial profit loss.
When a cardholder discovers an unauthorised transaction and files a chargeback, the merchant ultimately becomes the victim.
Cardholders exploit loopholes in the chargeback process, using an illegitimate chargeback to steal from the merchant.
This unique management style, devised exclusively by The Chargeback Company, produces unrivaled results. We are able to reduce risk, cut costs, increase profitability, and enhance customer retention.
We at The Chargeback Company are constantly adding to our innovative, dynamic suite of products. We are dedicated to the task of creating pioneering chargeback management solutions as new obstacles threaten the success of your business.
Our chargeback management solution is the only one on the market today that incorporates the human element.
A computer can't fix a problem created by humans, and humans are involved in every step of the chargeback process. Since the act of filing a chargeback isn't automated, why should your management efforts rely on a one-size-fits-all approach?
The Chargeback Company uses proprietary technologies and machine learning, backed by expert human forensics, to provide guaranteed results.
The Chargeback Company's solutions are created by former merchants who understand the unique challenges you face on a daily basis.
Our multi-layer quality control at each stage of the chargeback management process creates the most compelling disputes possible and ensures superior results.

Bristol underground one step closer if council 'can secure Chinese investment'
A council says the London-style tube could be built with Chinese money

Bristol City Council is looking to the Chinese for investment for an underground system, claims a council source.
A source has told the Bristol Post the ambitious underground project could be bankrolled by a series of private investors including Chinese firms.
It comes as Bristol Mayor, Marvin Rees, revealed initial ground tests show the train system is "perfectly buildable" with the "right level" of investment at his second annual 'State of the City Address'.
The council has denied that it is looking at any foreign investment at this time and said a London-style tube system for Bristol is still at its very early stage.
A council spokesperson said: "An underground for Bristol is a very new and exciting idea that we're committed to exploring but discussion of investment in the project itself is premature to say the least."
News of the potential for an underground system in the city first broke in July when the Bristol Post was handed a leaked transport document.
Last month Mr Rees announced that a £50,000 'pre-feasibility' study would be taking place to see if the project is viable funded by the West of England Combined Authority (Weca), which includes Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) and South Gloucestershire.
Given the council is having to plug a £106million deficit by 2022 and central government's tight control of the purse strings, many were left confused as to where the £2.5billion needed to build the mass transit system.
You could pay up to £2,500 for spitting, dropping rubbish or cigarette butts in Bristol
However, it now appears the council is looking further afield to national and international investment for the transport project, with one council source saying the prospect of Chinese investment is a realistic one.
Mr Rees has remained tight lipped on the question of investment, but has said a Bristol underground is viable solution to the city's increasing congestion problem.
Speaking at his 'State of the City Address' Mr Rees, said: "There is always talk about modal shift reducing congestion but that won't happen unless there are viable alternatives and we remain the only major city without a mass transit system.
Marvin Rees: There is a tendency in our city to think we can't deliver big
"Metro Bus will help but is only part of the solution. Congestion remains one of our most serious problems.
"It hinders people movement, worsens air quality and weakens our economy. I previously announced, we have commissioned a pre-feasibility study for underground with our partners in the West of England Combined Authority, and initial feedback is that ground conditions don't look too problematic and that with the right level of investment, is perfectly buildable."
Marvin Rees to knock down Cumberland Basin and rename it 'Western Harbour'
While many frustrated commuters will doubtlessly rejoice at the prospect of a London-style tube network, some are left wondering if the need for outside investment might derail the whole scheme.
Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has made no secret of the fact that he wants to renationalise the railways which may deter foreign investors from committing to the project.
Undoubtedly exciting, the Bristol underground system is very much in its infancy and it will be many years before the project is ready for approval, let alone being built.
