National Wildlife Refuge | Georgia and South Carolina
About the Complex
The chain of national wildlife refuges that forms the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex extends from Pinckney Island NWR near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, to Wolf Island NWR near Darien, Georgia. Between these lie Savannah, Wassaw, Tybee, Harris Neck, and Blackbeard Island refuges.
A National Wildlife Refuge Complex is an administrative grouping of two or more refuges, wildlife management areas or other refuge conservation areas that are primarily managed from a central office location. Refuges are grouped into a complex structure because they occur in a similar ecological region, such as a watershed or specific habitat type, and have a related purpose and management needs. Typically, a project leader or complex manager oversees the general management of all refuges within the complex and refuge managers are responsible for operations at specific refuges. Supporting staff, composed of administrative, law enforcement, refuge manager, biological, fire, visitor services, and maintenance professionals, are centrally located and support all refuges within the complex.
The refuges within the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex span a 100-mile stretch of coastline and total 57,226 acres. The Complex headquarters is located within the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center at 694 Beech Hill Lane, Hardeeville, South Carolina, 29927.

This chapter discusses some observations on the continuing relevance of 19th century representations and assumptions on present day tourism. After the Great War, European nations established official means to solicit and organize tourist traffic and organized themselves to array part of their economies and their cultural self-representations according to the presumed or inferred interests of foreign visitors. Tourism became a studied discipline to the extent that it was recognized as an important factor in many of the balances of payments in international trade and the livelihood of whole towns and districts in many countries.

Let us help you plan your ideal vacation in Bedfordshire...
Bedfordshire is England's second smallest county and, in contrast with its illustrious near-neighbour London, largely consists of rolling green fields.
Mostly low lying, its economy relies heavily on agriculture and market gardening, yet here are great houses, scores of thatched cottages, old-world villages and even tigers! Situated northwest of the capital city in eastern England, the county used to be part of the kingdom of the ancient British tribe known as the Cantvellauni.
Later, the Romans came, saw and conquered but were eventually replaced by the Anglo Saxons and by the end of the sixth century the region was part of the Kingdom of Mercia. While the county played an important role during the reign of King Alfred, Bedford itself was sacked and burned in the year 1010 AD by the Danes.
Geologically, the county can be divided into distinct parts. In the north is a maze of rolling pastures and farms in the glinting valley of the majestic River Great Ouse, a wide waterway joined by numerous tributaries. Here are sublime water meadows lined with willow, alder and hordes of canny fishermen.
The area was left virtually undisturbed by the Romans and their subsequent followers, though the Vikings navigated the Ouse and built a harbour and docks at Willington.
Deposits of yellow-brown clay create the perfect underbody for cow-munching grasslands. These farm-laden northern reaches are characterised by quietly-spoken villages with thatched houses, traditional village greens and ageing, stone-spired churches. Roxton boasts rush-roofed chapel while Bushmead has the remains of royal stables and an Augustinian priory. The clay proved to be ideal for brick-making, an industry which dominated the county for many years. Water-filled pits (from which the clay was dug) are abundant in some areas and provide havens for wildlife.
The picturesque village of Cardington has become a centre for hot-air ballooning and is still dominated by hangars used to build the ill-fated R101 airship.
Instead of clay and hot air, the south of the county is a place of chalk, boasting the stunning Chiltern Hills and glider-filled Dunstable Downs. This is essentially an area of farms and market gardens growing a constellation of fruit and vegetables.
Fruit growing came of age here in the 19th century with the coming of the Victorian plant pioneer Thomas Laxton. The redoubtable Mr Laxton and his descendants developed many varieties of apples ("Lord Lambourne", "Laxton's Superb") as well as plums, pears, gooseberries, raspberries, currants and strawberries.
There are a number of great houses in the county but the most prominent is 18th century Woburn Abbey, which lies atop a sandstone ridge. The ancestral seat of the Dukes of Bedford, it was originally a medieval abbey and contains paintings by the likes of Canaletto and Rembrandt.
The surrounding 3,000-acre Woburn Park was used by the 11th Duke to save the rare Père David's deer from extinction in the 20th century. Other species of deer have since been drafted in. After the Second World War the 13th Duke was the first aristo to open his stately pile to the public before he invented Woburn Safari Park - the largest drive-through wildlife reserve in Britain.
Nearby stands Abbot's Oak. It was from this noble tree that the Abbot of Woburn was hanged on the orders of Henry VIII in 1537.
Another memorable house is Luton Hoo, south east of Luton. Built by Robert Adam in the 18th century, it was landscaped by the great 'Capability' Brown.
Most of Bedfordshire's population is concentrated in the towns of Luton and Bedford. Luton is famous as home for Vauxhall Motors and "Bedford" was the name given to the range of commercial vehicles they built.
The area's most famous historical figure was the nonconformist preacher John Bunyan (1628-1688) who was born at Harrowden, near Bedford, and began the allegorical "Pilgrim's Progress" while incarcerated in Bedford jail during a period of severe religious persecution. A slab marks the site of the prison but the town has other Bunyan memorials, including a museum, a statue in front of St Peter's Church and a famous meeting house.
Bedford has a fine five-arched 19th century bridge over the River Great Ouse and a number of old churches. St Paul's, for example, dates to the 12th century and has a 15th century pulpit from which John Wesley preached.
Curiously, the county has seen few battles or major upheavals in modern times and beyond the main centres of commerce and development has retained a quaint, rustic air.

My thoughts on Apple's 2016 WWDC news
by Anthony Dean June 14, 2016 December 10, 2021
On Monday, Apple kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address announcing various Apple software news. I'll give my thoughts on each major news item below. For details on all of the WWDC news, see Lifehacker and TechCrunch.
Apple Watch got some incremental updates. Of interest for this blog's animation fans is that there's now a Minnie Mouse watch skin to go along with the existing Mickey Mouse one. There's also improved, customized support for wheelchair users.
Apple TV is gaining a few new features, including a one-time "Single Sign-On" feature for all channel apps.
macOS Sierra
After 15 years, Apple's dropping the OS X name for its desktop operating system, and bringing back the old Mac OS name (now spelled "macOS") to better fit with its other operating systems (tvOS, watchOS, and iOS). The Mac OS name was last used back in 1997 for system 7.6 ("MacOS 7.6"), followed by Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9.
This fall will see released macOS Sierra. Among the new features of Sierra are Siri on the desktop and Universal Clipboard. Universal Clipboard allows users to copy information on another device (such as an iPhone), and paste it on a corresponding Mac. It sounds like a very useful feature. As for Siri, "The Joy of Tech" has a pretty hilarious cartoon about Siri joining macOS.
A few other new features include automatically freeing up hard drive space and Apple Pay in Safari.
iOS 10 gets some new features. Improved photo features are included, such as being able to create movie-like files, similar to the feature in Google Photos. There's also improvements to Maps and Siri, including opening up both to third party developers. Siri's also gaining "deep learning" features, presumably to keep it competitive with Google's Google Now and Microsoft's Cortana.
iMessage is also getting some new features, particularly emojis and the like. I assume it's to keep it competitive with Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, and WhatsApp.
There's also transcriptions of voice mail being offered as a new feature, similar to the transcription feature in Google Voice.
Apple Music's interface has been de-cluttered, and is much more streamlined. I was hoping we'd hear about the much-maligned iTunes being given a complete overhaul, but apparently not.
Of interest is that there was some attempt at diversity, still a rarity for major tech companies' keynotes. An African-American woman named Bozoma Saint John was the presenter of the Apple Music portion of the address. Saint John also has a Twitter account available.
Apple File System
It wasn't announced during the press conference, but Apple also announced later in the day of a replacement for the 20-year-old HFS+ file system. Apple File System (AFPS) is being built with both modern computing needs (flash storage, etc.) and improved security in mind (encryption at all levels).
Finally, Apple's programming language Swift will offer a kid-friendly iPad app. "Swift Playground" will allow kids, or novices to programming in general, to learn the basic facets of programming.
A lot of minor improvements should make Apple's operating systems and music service more enjoyable to use. Those interested in hardware, however, will have to wait for another conference for news on those upgrades.

THE idea was hatched when the global banking industry was booming. And at a cost of $750 million, little expense was spared on ANZ's new headquarters that now dominates the Docklands skyline.
While banks across Britain and the US struggle with deep losses and some have needed mammoth taxpayer funded bail-outs, inside the vast glass walls of ANZ Centre yesterday the financial crisis was clearly not on the guest list at its opening.
Few banks in the world could now even consider upgrading their headquarters as they struggle with a daily battle to stay afloat. Almost none could afford the ANZ's video art installation in the foyer, its polished stone surfaces, designer furniture and the sweeping atrium hollowing out the 10-storey building.
More than 6500 staff - equal to the population of Castlemaine - will work out of the building, giving much-needed bustle to the pointy end of Docklands. Banks and insurers are finding their feet in Docklands, with ANZ now sharing the neighbourhood with National Australia Bank, AXA Asia Pacific and Medibank.
ANZ was at pains to point out the green credentials of its new headquarters. The building will produce 70 per cent less greenhouse emissions than other commercial buildings. It will tap gas-fired energy and on-site solar and wind power to generate much of its own electricity. Water use will also be down significantly, helped by the storage of rainwater.
Unusually, the building will be kept cool with the help of Yarra River water flowing past.
ANZ chief executive Mike Smith described the move into the building as a new era for the bank.
These days armed with a new logo, ANZ is looking more to the streets of China and Hong Kong for its growth. But the scale of the headquarters sends a signal that it plans to be anchored in Melbourne - for now at least.
In its 171-year history in Melbourne, ANZ has rarely ventured far from Collins Street. It remains on Collins, but is now a little further down the tram line.


The relative strength of the Amex Golf Bugs Index (HUI) against the S&P 500 Index has been in a long term uptrend. For many years, the moving averages have been in the same alignment (short above long and rising) but now this is changing.
I limit my use of moving averages to picking out long term changes shown by moving average crossovers. As this example will show though, these are not particularly a timing tool, they just tell you that a long term trend has changed.
All this does is tell us that something has changed. The relative strength had to fall a long way to give this signal. It not a timing tool.
The 14 week RSI is oversold and although the RSI divergence criteria are not yet met, there could easily be a recovery soon.


With nationwide heightened concerns for school safety, RSC is taking a "proactive approach to campus security," President Jeanie Webb wrote in the 2013 annual security report released in December.
The Office of Safety and Risk Management will complete revisions to the RSC emergency response plan by Feb. 1; every classroom will include an updated, tri-fold packet detailing emergency response procedures, Mike Templeman, safety and risk management coordinator, said.
RSC aims to surpass requirements on issues including workplace safety, weather emergencies, evacuation procedures, and response plans for various threats, he said.
The new packets provide "clear-cut, compact guidelines to each (emergency) situation," Templeman said. Training for faculty and staff will follow after administrative review, and will include drills to "make sure people understand these guidelines," which will consist of three-to-four step emergency response procedures.
There are 23 strategically located emergency phone kiosks on campus that connect directly to 911 emergency services, and emergency phones in every classroom call campus security, Templeman said.
Emergency notifications are also available through email, website and cellphone services; you can text "ROSE" to ATT411 (288411) to receive notifications.
Templeman said safety and risk management closely monitors potential safety threats of all kinds, including severe weather and tips about criminal behavior on campus, and considers warnings from law enforcement. The staff also monitors campus security cameras.
Two CLEET-certified security officers patrol campus at all times and can accompany people to their vehicles upon request, Templeman said. The Midwest City Police Department also maintains a constant presence at RSC.
The college released the 2013 annual security report in December in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act.
The report included statistics for 2010, 2011 and 2012, which indicated 27 reported on-campus crimes, ranging from liquor law violations to burglary. The majority of reported crimes occurred in 2010, with a steep drop in 2011 and 2012.
"We've ramped up security and monitoring, and all these proactive things to cut off any type of assaults, burglaries, anything like that," Templeman said. "We have a fire department, literally, 200 yards away from the campus," and when contacted, the Midwest City Police Department can respond within minutes.
Templeman said he advises the RSC community not to be afraid to speak up about suspected danger.
"If you see suspicious activity around the campus don't ever be afraid to call security, that's what they're here for. Don't ever hesitate," he said.
Every student, faculty, and staff member received an official RSC email containing a link to the annual security report online. A copy is also available in the Student Center Room 130 and the Office of Administrative Services.

After more coronavirus closures, how deep will California's recession go?
http://www.elkgrovenews.net/2020/07/after-more-coronavirus-closures-how.html
By Lauren Helper | CalMatters.org
In late June, it looked like California might be turning a corner in the coronavirus recession. Unemployment had leveled off at a jarring 16.3%, but thousands of waiters, bartenders and hairstylists were going back to work.
Then came the surge in infections that state officials have been dreading — a record 11,000 new cases on Tuesday alone — and with it, a new wave of business closures.
"We are so sorry," began the email to customers from San Jose's Limón Salon this week. "After being open for only one day, we learned that our reopening will be short lived." With appointments back on hold, the salon said any donations and product sales will go to pay employee health care premiums for next month.
If the reality is harsh for business owners and employees seeking stability, the public health rationale for the retreat to isolation is clear. Outbreaks continue to spiral at San Quentin State Prison and workplaces such as meat processing plants. Coronavirus testing backlogs have led to rationing. In some regions, hospitals are approaching capacity.
As the health crisis unfolds, changing state and local health orders have combined with looming deadlines like the July 31 expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits to create false starts, intense financial anxiety and confusion about who is supposed to be enforcing regulations on the ground. Workers and businesses alike are left to wonder how deep the recession will go, how long it will last and how many livelihoods might be gone for good.
"The best word to describe it is chaotic," said Kaya Herron, director of community engagement and advocacy at the Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce. "There's people that are grasping at straws, that are saying, 'I'm down to my last dime, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to allow customers back into my space.'"
The re-closures began before the Fourth of July holiday, when Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered bars closed in Los Angeles and a half-dozen other counties on a state "watch list" for elevated virus transmission levels. This week, he ordered a halt to all indoor dining and entertainment statewide, plus a ban in 29 watch list counties on fitness centers, places of worship, protests, hair salons, indoor malls and some offices.
It may be a final blow to business leaders who have latched onto hopes of a "V-shaped" economic recovery, or a quick bounce back from economic paralysis, said Jerry Nickelsburg, director of UCLA's Anderson Forecast. In late June, the Anderson Forecast warned that fallout from the virus had already tipped California and the rest of the country into a "depression-like crisis" with a longer "Nike-swoosh-shaped recovery" likely to last through early 2023 — that is, if businesses could safely reopen this year.
"There was a sense that the public health crisis was moving in a direction that would allow the continuing opening up of the economy," Nickelsburg said. "Though that has not been entirely dashed, there is certainly more uncertainty."
'A critical time'
Hopes of a quick recovery have also dimmed in recent weeks as hiring has stalled. On the career site Glassdoor, 35% of employers have reduced job postings since June 22. Economists say it's unclear how many are being cautious because of uncertainty and how many may be in the throes of more severe hiring freezes or nearing bankruptcy.
"The next several weeks will be a critical time for the economic recovery," Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao wrote in the job report published Tuesday. "The question is whether the worsening public health crisis will completely drown out the fledgling recovery."
In California, one area of concern is that the unemployment rate already lagged other states in rebounding as businesses reopened this summer, said Sarah Bohn, vice president of research at the Public Policy Institute of California. After an initial blow to hospitality, tourism and other in-person professions, she's tracked a more recent surge in public sector and health care unemployment.
"How temporary are these temporary layoffs?" Bohn said. "Is it really going to bounce back? By how much? How fast?"
Time is of the essence because federal legislators have not reached a deal to extend an additional $600 per week for unemployment benefits set to end July 31 amid widespread complaints in California about backlogs and unreceived benefits. Longer term, Bohn expects that the state will have to grapple with the prospect of "this crisis worsening inequality." State lawmakers already have enacted a bitterly contested new law extending benefits for freelancers and gig workers; voters will be asked whether to curb its provisions for ride-hailing drivers with Proposition 22 in November. Other debates concern how far to expand the safety net for struggling workers in other fields.
"A roller coaster of opening and closures seems like what we should be expecting," Bohn said. "Unfortunately it's hard to know how many cycles of the roller coaster we'll be on."
Other short-term relief such as federal Paycheck Protection Program loans have so far largely failed to materialize for small businesses in Fresno, Herron said, especially those with Black, Latino or Asian owners. Her team is wading through dozens of applications for $3,000 emergency grants and running extra financial literacy programs about managing debt. She worries that the coming weeks will make or break not only individual lives, but also the entire city's fledgling revival.
"Our downtown and our business districts are at risk of losing their tenants, but also of losing their diversity and vibrancy," Herron said. "If businesses don't make it through this wave, a lot of them will never reopen."

Knowledge engineering for mental-health risk assessment and decision support
Abu Ahmed
Mental-health risk assessment practice in the UK is mainly paper-based, with little standardisation in the tools that are used across the Services. The tools that are available tend to rely on minimal sets of items and unsophisticated scoring methods to identify at-risk individuals. This means the reasoning by which an outcome has been determined remains uncertain. Consequently, there is little provision for: including the patient as an active party in the assessment process, identifying underlying causes of risk, and eecting shared decision-making. This thesis develops a tool-chain for the formulation and deployment of a computerised clinical decision support system for mental-health risk assessment. The resultant tool, GRiST, will be based on consensual domain expert knowledge that will be validated as part of the research, and will incorporate a proven psychological model of classication for risk computation.
GRiST will have an ambitious remit of being a platform that can be used over the Internet, by both the clinician and the layperson, in multiple settings, and in the assessment of patients with varying demographics. Flexibility will therefore be a guiding principle in the development of the platform, to the extent that GRiST will present an assessment environment that is tailored to the circumstances in which it nds itself. XML and XSLT will be the key technologies that help deliver this exibility.

Over the last two years researchers have already uncovered the remains of two large sauropod dinosaurs at the site © The Children's Museum of Indianapolis
Museum palaeontologists to join dino dig in Wyoming, USA
By Josh Davis
First published 25 March 2019
This year, palaeontologists from the Museum will fly out to Wyoming, USA, to join a team excavating a rich Jurassic dinosaur bone bed in the extraordinary Morrison Formation.
Researchers from the Museum will be joining those from The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the University of Manchester and Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, Netherlands, to explore a series of new sites in northern Wyoming.
It is hoped that the Mission Jurassic team will uncover a rich Jurassic assemblage of dinosaur bones, in addition to the fossilised remains of the other animals and plants that would have called this region home around 150 million years ago.
The site, known as the Jurassic Mile, is spread over roughly 2.6 square kilometres and has already yielded some impressive finds. For the last two years scientists from The Children's Museum have been uncovering dinosaur trackways, fossil plants and the remains of two sauropods: a 24-metre-long Brachiosaurus and the bones of potentially a 30-metre-long Diplodocus.
Fossils have included a striking two-metre-long shoulder blade and some semi-articulated limbs, in addition to over 600 other bones to have come out of the site. It is hoped that this is just a fraction of what is preserved within the rock.

Prof Paul Barrett, a Merit Researcher at the Museum who will be co-leading some of the excavations at the dig, says, 'The interesting thing about this site is that it is near the northern limit of the Morrison Formation.
'This is an area that hasn't been as extensively studied as the southern parts in Utah and Colorado. The hope is to find new material of previously described species and - if we're lucky - new species of dinosaurs and the animals and plants that lived around them.'
Dr Susannah Maidment, a Museum expert on armoured dinosaurs and dinosaur evolution, will also be co-leading some of the dig. The Museum's team will head out to Wyoming at the beginning of June.
A dinosaur graveyard
The dig will take place on a patch of land in Wyoming that is covered in part by rocks of the Morrison Formation.
This is a thick set of sedimentary rocks stretching from southern Canada in the north to New Mexico in the south. The Morrison Formation contains a rich series of fossils from the Late Jurassic, which date to 156-145 million years old, and comes to the surface in many places within the state of Wyoming.

The breadth of these fossils has been such that researchers have been able to paint a detailed picture of what the environment was like in this region at the time.
During this period flowering plants had yet to evolve, meaning that conifer trees were the dominant plants in the landscape, along with ginkgos, cycads, ferns and large horsetails.
It is thought that these plants grew along the banks of rivers and wetlands, which once criss-crossed the region and deposited the sands and muds that would become the Morrison Formation. This interpretation has been supported by the abundance of animal fossils representing frogs, turtles, crocodiles, fish, pterosaurs and early mammals also found across the region.
One of the main interests in the formation, however, comes from its wealth of dinosaur fossils, including some of the best-known American species.
These range from small animals such as Fruitadens to some of the biggest such as Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus, which were likely stalked across the floodplains by one of the largest predators at the time, Allosaurus.
In addition to the fossil bones found within the Morrison Formation, there are also numerous track sites, preserved after dinosaurs wandered across the wet ground over 145 million years ago.
The Jurassic Mile contains not only large vertebrate fossils, but plants and footprints. The presence of all three in one place is rare for the Morrison Formation.
Prof Richard Herrington, the Museum's Acting Director of Science, says, 'This site offers a rare opportunity to build a picture of what the real Jurassic ecosystem would have looked like 150 million years ago - by unearthing not only dinosaurs but the diversity of life that surrounded them, from plants and invertebrates to ancient crocodiles, mammals, lizards and marine life.'
Diverging dinosaurs
This new project will aim to bring together the expertise from the three institutions to help add to our knowledge of this region during the Late Jurassic.
The Middle Jurassic saw major geological change as the supercontinent of Pangaea started to split to form two separate landmasses called Laurasia and Gondwana. As a result, by the Late Jurassic new patterns of biogeography had started to emerge as populations of animals and plants were divided.
The Jurassic Mile also contains a series of dinosaur footprints made around 150 million years ago as the dinosaur stalked the river basins at the time © The Children's Museum of Indianapolis
These two new supercontinents were huge, and there are suggestions that even within these landmasses the distances were so great that species were continuing to diverge from each other. The dig in northern Wyoming may help to answer some of these questions.
'There is a hint that the dinosaurs you get at the northern end of the Morrison Formation are different from those that you get at the southern end,' explains Paul. 'There may be different species, as it looks like they might have been living in slightly different environments.
'One of the things we're looking to test by excavating this site is if there actually are distinct species in this region, and whether it could be some sort of latitudinal divergence that might be influencing what species of dinosaurs you get there.'
Heading out at the beginning of June, the Museum researchers plan on spending a month excavating the site.

Kingston students travelled back to the 1950s with self-portrait cartoons celebrating the history of British railways.
Twenty-one year 11 students from Anstee Bridge showed off their caricatures from another era at the Kingston Market House yesterday.
The venue was packed to the brim with people admiring their displays, painted by artist David Lewis.
Teaching assistant Jason Philps said: "It was fantastic. The place was full and the Mayor [Councilllor Mary Heathcote] was very entertaining."
The students used their sense of humour to capture the history of rail passengers throughout the ages.
They wrote poems which were put to music by Kingston musician Aaron Norton and broadcast into the Market House.
Mr Philps added: "It really does bring it home when you see the joy on their faces. They are learning, even though they might not know it."
The Anstee Bridge programme exists for year 11 students who, for one day a week, need an alternative to school, giving them confidence through unusual ways of learning and participating.
The exhibition at the Market House runs until Thursday, April 28.

Nuheara Launches IQbuds MAX Hearables at CES 2020 a Premium Solution With a Different Approach Than AirPods Pro
Nuheara used CES 2020 to launch its new IQbuds MAX, the latest update to a product line of smart hearables products for on-the-go consumers. Nuheara is viewed by many as a pioneer in the hearables market and among the first companies to include active noise cancellation in truly wireless earbuds that also have voice assistant access.
Different Than AirPods Pro
David Cannington, Nuheara
It is notable that Apple AirPods Pro also includes active noise cancelation and that is different than active noise reduction which is a feature of the new Amazon Echo Buds. Other wireless earbuds such as earlier editions of AirPods, Google's Pixel Buds, and Samsung's Galaxy Buds don't claim any noise reduction technology. As a result, many people see Nuheara as in direct competition with Apple. David Cannington, EVP and co-founder of Nuheara, sees it differently. In an interview with Voicebot at CES, he said:
"IQbuds MAX, which is the product we are launching this year at CES, is taking the hearables tech to a whole new level. Firstly, it's got active noise cancelation…we basically rebuilt the product from the ground up — new industrial design, new battery, new chips, new speakers…We know hearables. We've been at this a long time and we'd put this up against anything out there now.
"We don't compete against Airpods Pro. Really, our product is designed for people that have certain hearing challenges. They don't want to buy a hearing aid. They want to augment their hearing. Then we've got…tech addicts. You want the latest and the greatest. You want the best truly wireless form factor…If we can help you with your hearing, that's a big bonus…We are carving out a very lucrative niche on our own in this space…We allow you to control your soundscape."
Sound Augmentation and Personalization
At $249, AirPods Pro are more expensive than most wireless earbuds in the market. Nuheara IQbuds MAX hit an even higher price point of $399. This seems like a big premium over AirPods, but Cannington says this is the wrong comparison for most consumers. "A consumer buys for value," said Cannington. He stresses that active noise cancelation is a big feature for AirPods, but just one of many for Nuheara. Personalization features tied to Nuheara's mobile app, "calibrate the buds to their personal hearing profile," and can implement Situational Sound that allows the user to focus in on one person that is talking in a noisy environment and set different levels of outside noise affordance.
And, compared to hearing aids, $399 might well be a bargain. A White House commission in 2015 said that the average price of a hearing aid was $2,300 and it hasn't changed much in recent years. Consumers are typically paying between $1,500 – $3,500 according to Audicus and some premium hearing aids cost upwards of $6,000. Cannington didn't claim Nuheara makes hearing aids but rather its technology includes sound augmentation that can be a bridge between the need for some amplification that helps with minor hearing loss but doesn't yet rise to a level that necessitates a prescription hearing aid.
Nuheara also has the added advantage of being able to connect to multiple voice assistants. While AirPods Pro only offers Siri access today, IQbuds MAX also offers Siri along with Google Assistant. Cannington sees voice assistant access as critical to the future of the hearables segment. In addition, providing multiple choices is something that the big players are not likely to enable anytime soon.
Hearables is a Fast Growing and Increasingly Diverse Market
IDC reported in September 2019 that hearables represented the largest wearables device category in Q2 2019, representing nearly 47% of unit volume. That represented 250% growth over the previous year's second quarter.
There is little doubt that the segment is growing quickly and we are seeing faster innovation cycles. What Nuheara helps crystalize is that there is a difference between wireless hearables offerings today. Just as we have entry-level and premium segments for smart speakers, we are now seeing a similar spectrum of offerings in the wireless hearables market.

I've always been fascinated by the art of spoken word. You put together a poem and throw some music behind it, and it's powerful and has a message.
So this weekend when I was in Virginia for a wedding and had some free time on my hands, I went to Appamattox and shot some video in and around the historical park there. Then I laid down a spoken word I wrote in an Italian restaurant where I had lunch. I recorded it in my car on my laptop using my Apple earbud mic, so that's why the quality is not so great.
I sampled the track "Clarity" by Andy Mineo and used the instrumental for "Video Games" by Alex Faith. I don't own and didn't create those songs, but the video and spoken audio is all mine.

San Mateo, CA, March 26, 2019 – Tipalti, the leading global payables automation platform, today announced new financial management partnerships to help further modernize organizations' finance operations, giving them the necessary tools to focus more on the strategic challenges they face during rapid growth. The new channel partners include Big Bang ERP, an independent consulting firm focused on cloud business applications, Procurify, a spend management platform, and Tesorio, a cash flow performance platform.
Big Bang ERP helps businesses optimize and streamline their processes in every department in the enterprise by implementing cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP), Information Technology System Management (ITSM) systems and other cloud applications. Big Bang ERP was recognized in 2018 as one of Bob Scott's VAR Stars and as a 5-Star NetSuite Partner. Big Bang ERP's Tipalti partnership helps organizations focus on growth rather than repetitive manual processes, spreadsheet management, and other non-value-added activities.
Big Bang ERP is always looking to expand its portfolio with cutting-edge products, and partner in the scalable cloud solutions it delivers to customers. Tipalti is a natural fit for many of our customers who are looking to streamline and scale their complex accounts payable processes. We are excited about the growth opportunities this partnership can facilitate.
Procurify is reinventing the way organizations manage, control and track spending. For companies that look to implement or uphold a process around their company spending, Procurify makes controlled pre-approved spend the norm, with a combination of accessible data, convenient processes, and manageable controls.
The future of company spending is proactive, not reactive. The Procurify-Tipalti partnership allows our users to have a more seamless experience from purchase requisition to supplier payments, without sacrificing controls, paving the path to creating better spend cultures.
Tesorio uses artificial intelligence to power applications that help finance teams better manage, predict, and collect cash. Tesorio works as a mirror system to Tipalti's payables automation capabilities, providing CFOs and their teams with the best suite of technologies to optimize cash flow performance, reduce working capital and increase sustainable growth.
Where are you on cash? Every CFO asks that question. By combining Tesorio's automated cash flow management and predictive AR forecasting capability with Tipalti's payables automation, forward-thinking finance teams can provide their CFOs with comprehensive real-time answers for all AR, AP, and cash questions. This allows companies to optimize cash flow while maximizing sustainable growth.
In line with this partnership expansion, Tipalti announced that it is building out their partner organization, with the key addition of Zach Svendsen as their Director of Business Development and Alliances. Svendsen brings over 14 years of experience in business development leadership roles for fast-growing SaaS companies to Tipalti. Most recently, Svendsen led alliances with Jittberbit, a leading player in the iPaaS space, running multiple strategic initiatives and building Jitterbit's ISVs and SIs partner programs which includes partnerships with NetSuite, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SPS Commerce, and SAP. Previously, he managed business development at Celigo, an iPaaS integration platform with a leadership position in the NetSuite ecosystem, where he rolled out Celigo's channel management program. At SPS Commerce, an industry-leading retail cloud services platform, he was instrumental in building the ISV, SI and reseller channels in multiple ecosystems, including NetSuite, Sage, Epicor and Infor.


This website will be a documentation of my journey to a better life: better health, better career and better friends.
But this won't be a personal diary, where people can see my life's dramatic moments unfold, as if it's the latest Kardashian scandal.
Instead, I want this website to be an objective and quantified collection of my goals, life systems, lessons learned, habits (good or bad), and failures experienced along the way.
Expect weird but not so extreme self-experiments ala Tim Ferris, weekly logs of lessons I learned while working on my goals, quotes from books, notes from self-improvement and writing related courses.
I'm not just a weird, self-help junkie though. I love cooking, eating and basically anything outside my comfort zone. So I'll also document my attempts to learn new things, like ice skating, trapeze flying, archery and more.


What a great way to add some color to your home or event! This is for a 12 pack of assorted voitives. You will receive 2 or each or the colors shown in the photo. These bright votives will light up any space perfectly. They fit a standard votive candle and stand 2.75" tall.

VIRTUAL TOUR - VIDEO - 80 TO 100 PHOTOS - FULL SPECS CAN BE VIEWED OF THIS Malahide Trawler Yacht!
Malahide Trawlers were created as long-distance ocean-capable voyaging yachts. These boats conformed to the proven design and construction found in North Sea fishing vessels which sailed in all weather conditions. Malahides were designed by Myles Stapleton and constructed primarily in Norway, Ireland, and Portugal depending on the model. All of the boats had in common: hull construction using heavy timbers, framing, and planking; single engine propulsion with very large engines; extensive tankage for long distance travel; independent power generation capability; and extensive safety systems for offshore voyaging.
Our 65' Malahide Trawler Yacht Pilothouse model is a fine example of the type. The boat has been professionally maintained and actively chartered with a Jones Act Waiver that goes with the ship. All systems and structure are inspected and maintained or upgraded each season. The boat is well-equipped with an approval for up to 12 passengers for hire. As a private yacht, the boat has grace and character with ample accommodations and comfort features.
-This vessel is fully equipped for charter service including shore boats, kayaks, and more.
Our 65' Malahide Trawler Yacht is proven as a capable and gracious yacht for long distance cruising and living aboard, as well as having demonstrated multiple years of success in charter service. The condition of the boat today is excellent due to professional maintenance and proactive stewardship. The ability to operate in charter provides financial leverage and an exciting potential to explore distant places with clients. This is a true heritage vessel that offers a compelling lifestyle opportunity for the next owner.
Please reach out if you are interested in discovering more about this boat in person.

What Is The .NET Framework 4.5?
According to the .NET Blog, .NET Framework 4.5 is an in-place update that replaces .NET Framework 4.0 (rather than a side-by-side installation). The goal is for .NET 4.5 to be fully backward compatible with applications built for .NET 4.0 (.NET 3.5 and .NET 4.5 will be side-by-side).
One of the major additions to the framework is the support for the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern. All classes with asynchronous APIs have be augmented with a Task-based asynchronous API.
