Q: Bison parser always prints "syntax error" I am trying to build a 3 address code generator which would produce:
input:x=a+3*(b/7)

output: t1=b/7
t2=3*t1
t3=a+t2
x=t3

NO matter whatever i give as input the output is "syntax error".

   syntax error

A: The basic problem is that you are use double-quote (" -- strings) for tokens in your yacc file (without defining any codes for them, so they're useless), and returning single character tokens in your lex file.  As a result, none of the tokens will be recognized in your parser.
Replace all the " characters with ' characters on all the single character tokens in your yacc file (so "+" becomes '+' and "\n" becomes '\n').
Once you fix that, you have another problem:  your lex rules for {DIGITS}+ and {NAME} don't return a token, so the token will be ignored (leading to syntax errors)
For debugging parser problems in general, it is often worth compiling with -DYYDEBUG and sticking yydebug = 1; into main before calling yyparse, which will cause the parser to print a trace of tokens seen and states visited.  I often put
if (getenv("YYDEBUG")) yydebug = 1;

into main and just leave it there -- that way normally debugging won't be enabled, but if you set the environment variable YYDEBUG=1 before running your program, you'll see the debug trace (no need to recompile)

In order to return a token, your lexer rule needs to return the token.  So your lexer rule for NUMBER should be:
{NUMBER} {
            strcpy(yylval.ivar,yytext);
            return NUMBER;
         }

and similar for NAME.  Note that the opening { of the code block must be on the same line as the pattern -- if it is on a separate line it will not be associated with the pattern.

Keith Urban's 'Polaroid' Video Stops Life in Its Tracks [Watch]
Tricia Despres Updated: April 27, 2020
We all wish we could have stopped time just a few short months ago, when we had never even heard the word "coronavirus." But now, as we continue to live with this pandemic, Keith Urban has given us some good times to ponder in his new song "Polaroid."
"I really connected with the song," says Urban in a press release about the catchy new track. "I used to have this house that I lived in with a few guys in my band and at some point, someone gave us this polaroid camera. We used it to take pictures of everybody and everything — crazy stuff that happened. We had all of them posted on a big board and I so clearly saw that the minute I heard the song."
Released on Friday (April 24), the accompanying video for "Polaroid" shows a shoeless Urban standing poolside, strumming his guitar and watching as snapshots of a summer pool party flash around him.
"I was sent a really simple treatment," explains Urban about the video. "It was all centered around a pool party and this contraption called a MoCo that's programmed to do what you see in the video — swoop in, pan out, look around and swoop right back and do the exact same motion again and again. You're able to place people in these different places, positions and then freeze moments. It was pretty trippy."
"Too many times these moments they come and go / How lucky was I that our moment was set in stone," Urban sings in the music video. And if those lyrics don't hit you a little differently right about now, you'd better go check your pulse.
"Polaroid" is yet another sneak peek at the upcoming album from the four-time Grammy Award winner and reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year, set for release in the fall of 2020. Urban is also currently in the Top 15 of the country charts with his current single, "God Whispered Your Name."

Although referred as 'Keeti' by the rest of the band. It is not a good idea to call him by his real name (Keith Palmer), should you ever meet him! The only member of the original line-up to come from a place other than Braintree. He is the MC that revs up the crowd by yelling extremely loud, rude and crude. He shares the act of singing with Keith, as they are the two singers of Prodigy. You'll know it's Maxim if he's wearing a metal glove, a kilt, and blue contacts. He also tends to kick high and hop around in his phase of revving. And he also yells out "Come on!" and "Yeah!" as attention getters, and attention he gets. Maxim was a member of a reggae outfit ("Maxim Reality and Sheik Yan Groove") shortly before he joined The Prodigy, although he had been into numerous scenes in his native town of Peterborough, such as ska/2-Tone and hip-hop/breakdancing. The last person to join the Prodigy for their first ever gig, the idea to have an MC was Liam's, having seen most rave outfits doing the same. Maxim was assigned to The Prodigy by former manager Ziggy. During their first gig, Liam wasn't entirely happy with the way Maxim rapped - sure, they got a rapterous reception (previous acts at the venue had been bottled off), but Liam asked Maxim to tone down the reggae-style he was used to. Maxim's current stage image consists of a pair of 'evil' contact-lenses, a metal armour glove, a dressing gown and even a skirt! He is currently writing a solo album which he hopes to get out before the end of year 1998, and "some how, Leeroy will be on it".
The transformation takes place gradually as I get changed. But it's totally different personality. MAXIM

I'm learning to find a balance. Treats are great at your birthday or special occasions, but for my every day life, I'm focusing on consuming fewer calories.
What I love about this smoothie is that it's so easy to make with just two ingredients. I used frozen mixed berries and Hood Calorie Countdown Whole Dairy Beverage which is just 100 calories and 33% fewer calories than traditional whole milk! Same creamy taste of whole milk with fewer calories, fewer carbs and less sugar! One cup of Hood Calorie Countdown Whole has just 3 grams carbs and only 3 grams sugar (75% fewer carbs and sugar than traditional whole milk)! That's a win win if you ask me!
So what is Hood Calorie Countdown? Calorie Countdown blends ultra-filtered milk with water, cream (and other ingredients) for a delicious and creamy taste while delivering fewer calories, less sugar, and fewer carbohydrates than regular milk.
Another thing I love, Calorie Countdown is made with milk from farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones which is very important to me and my family.

What They Are Saying: The American Critical Mineral Independence Act
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 19, 2021 -
Last week, 13 House Republicans introduced the American Critical Mineral Independence Act.
"Minerals and metals are the building blocks for everything from infrastructure and health care to national defense, clean energy and electric vehicles, necessitating a reliable domestic supply chain. Unfortunately, a lack of access to economically viable mineral deposits and an inefficient federal permitting system leaves our nation increasingly dependent on foreign sources of strategic and critical minerals, and that vulnerability has been clearly exposed by the COVID pandemic. Securing our domestic mineral supply chains is essential for our environment, our communities, and all Americans, and we applaud Reps. Waltz and Gosar for their comprehensive approach to addressing these issues." - Mark Compton, executive director, American Exploration & Mining Association
"Mining is vital to Arizona and economic development in the nation as well as providing clean energy solutions for a sustainable future. We must take the proper measures to protect, responsibly extract and utilize our resources so we are not reliant on foreign sources such as China and Russia. We are sincerely grateful to members of Congress who understand this." – Steve Trussell, executive director, Arizona Mining Association
"The American Critical Mineral Independence Act is a long overdue correction to policies that ceded control over mining, manufacturing, and recycling critical minerals to undemocratic regimes that abuse human rights and exploit child labor. Critical minerals are the building blocks for advanced technologies including clean energy generation and are essential to our economic and national security. CRES thanks U.S. Reps. Michael Waltz and Paul Gosar for championing this important legislation, which will ensure a secure supply chain by promoting domestic exploration, research, development, and processing of critical minerals and will help strengthen America's global competitiveness and energy security." – Heather Reams, executive director, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions
"The American Critical Mineral Independence Act has the potential to play a crucial role in a clean energy economy. The production of technologies essential to a clean energy transition not only relies on a secure supply of critical minerals, but has increased demand for them in recent years. The critical minerals list includes lithium, cobalt, and graphite, necessary for energy storage; hafnium and uranium, necessary for fuel rods and nuclear fuel; and rare earth elements, necessary for wind turbines. If the U.S. aims to design, deploy, and export clean energy technology, it needs a secure supply of essential materials. It is vital to encourage domestic production of these resources to give American innovation the strongest foundation for success.
Thank you for your continued leadership to advance American clean energy. We stand ready to help pass this important legislation this Congress." - Rich Powell, executive director, ClearPath Action
"Across the federal government, we have seen strong, bipartisan recognition of the vulnerabilities that exists across our nation's vast network of supply chains. This has given rise to a renewed focus on the importance of domestically produced minerals as the front end of the supply chain for the infrastructure, energy, defense, healthcare, manufacturing and transportation sectors. The American Critical Mineral Independence Act brings together commonsense solutions to support mining in the U.S., where highly paid and skilled miners work under the strictest environmental, health and safety standards. Bipartisan support for this legislation will further strengthen our national security and provide the foundation for economic recovery and job creation." - Rich Nolan, president and CEO, National Mining Association
"On behalf of the 400 members of the NSSGA, I would like to thank Ranking Member Westerman, Ranking Member Stauber, Rep. Waltz and the leaders on the Natural Resources Committee for introducing the American Critical Mineral Independence Act. Mining stone, sand, and gravel is essential to our American way of life and key to developing the infrastructure and public works needed to transition to a cleaner future. The development of more sustainable energy and transportation networks is impossible without the materials NSSGA members produce in 11,000 aggregates mines across the country. That is why we support today's legislation as it will promote increased sustainable access to the aggregates needed to deliver our 21st century economy. We are especially grateful for the focus on developing the next generation of mining engineers at our universities and colleges which is essential to addressing the workforce challenges faced by our industry." - Michele Stanley, vice president of government and regulatory affairs, National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association
"The U.S. Chamber believes that securing adequate access to critical minerals domestically and from our allies is a strategic imperative. Deployment of new transportation, electric generation, and storage technologies that are heavily reliant on this supply chain are projected to increase demand dramatically in the coming decades. The American Critical Mineral Independence Act is an important and necessary step towards growing our domestic production and processing of critical minerals by creating greater permitting certainty as well as developing research and demonstration programming to foster innovation." - U.S. Chamber of Commerce
"The Uranium Producers of America applaud Representatives Waltz and Gosar for introducing the American Critical Mineral Independence Act. Critical minerals like uranium are vital to our national security and economic well-being and this legislation will take important steps to ensure we can produce and process these minerals domestically. It's crucial we reclaim U.S. leadership in uranium production and not place our ability to produce clean nuclear energy in the hands of countries like Russia and China." - Jon Indall, counsel, Uranium Producers of America
"Wyoming is home to vast natural resources, including uranium and rare earths. This legislation goes far in facilitating development of these critical minerals which are vital for America's energy and national security. WMA fully supports the bill." - Travis Deti, executive director, Wyoming Mining Association

The History of Wall Street
The history of Wall Street by PhysicalAddress.com. Get a business address and a virtual mailbox on Wall Street with PhysicalAddress.com.
The Wall Street we know and love today is an economic powerhouse, standing at the center of the world's financial system and generating massive amounts of wealth for all who work there. Straddling lower Manhattan from East of Broadway to the East River, the street has always been at the heart of New York's financial district.
But Wall Street has also been at the epicenter of some of the most calamitous events in history. It's the place in which stock traders saw the dizzying heights of the Dotcom boom and the roaring twenties, and it's also the place where traders witnessed the collapse of the stock market in 1929 and 2008 and the birth the greatest economic upheaval in history: the Great Depression.
Wall Street's origins began when New York was a small Dutch colony. The street was originally called de Walstraat, which was quickly Anglicised once Manhattan was transferred to the British. In the 19th century, Wall Street began to emerge as an American financial center, serving the needs of industrialists and the emerging middle class, fuelling the railroad boom and generating fabulous wealth for the new American Republic.
What many people don't know about those early years of Wall Street is how volatile the market was. This was the era of the bull and the bear: the boom and bust era. Every few years the market would get whipped up into a frenzy. Traders would anticipate huge returns from some new company or investment. Prices of stocks would skyrocket, reaching incredible valuations. Then, as soon as word got around the investments weren't what they seemed, investors would panic, depositors would pull their money out of banks, and financial institutions would collapse. Back then, banks would fail and go out of business, only to be replaced with new banks and even more ambitious business leaders.
The Wall Street Crash
With the advent of the 20th century and the setting up of the Federal Reserve, things began to change for Wall Street. Now there was a privately-run central bank with authority to create paper money from nothing. The hope was that the central bank would be able to coordinate the actions of the commercial banks and rescue Americans from the peaks and troughs of the financial cycle.
No such thing happened. Instead, America once again succumbed to the boom and bust that had dogged the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Following the end of the First World War – the war to end all wars – many Americans were filled with hope and optimism about the future. As confidence in the economy grew, aggregate demand picked up, ushering in an era of high growth. Before long, people began buying stocks with the new wealth they had, believing that stocks would continue to rise forever, providing handsome returns on their investments.
But there was a problem: stocks were hopelessly overvalued. There was no way that companies could deliver the sort of profits that the value of stocks implied – a giant bubble at the heart of Wall Street had developed.
Just two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, world-famous economist Irving Fisher – the man behind some of the most critical theories in economics – declared that there was not a bubble in the stock market. He truly believed that stocks were at fair value, and he chastised anybody who thought otherwise. To Fisher, nothing was wrong, and if anything did happen, it would only constitute a minor correction.
When the crash eventually came, all of the phony wealth that had been generated by the stock market evaporated overnight, and by November 1929 it was clear to everybody that the game was up. The American economic sank into a deep depression which dragged on for nearly a decade. Industrial output slumped to 60 percent of its pre-crash level and unemployment tipped the scales at 25 percent. Many Americans went hungry.
The Post-War Era
After the Second World War, the American economy finally emerged from recession and entered what economists call The Golden Era – a period of high economic growth and low unemployment. There were jobs aplenty in America, and Wall Street's reputation improved once more.
Regulators, however, began to see that the fate of the world was literally in the hands of Wall Street financiers. They began to regulate, but despite all the new rules, crashes continued, most notably in tech stocks in 2000 and in all stocks in 2008.
Since then, Wall Street is again a place of global significance and remains one of the most famous streets in the world. What happens on Wall Street affects us all.

Customer Software Development for Chat Center
Minimum Inc. was hired by chat.center to develop a unique solution that leverages a SaaS messaging platform to create new ways of serving prospects and customers. Together, they built chat.center - a cloud based messaging platform. It is based on a - DNS resolvable - universal chat ID. For example, http://chat.center/alex resolves, via the DNS, to a live chat with Alex Komarov, co-founder of Minimum.
Customers can embed a widget on their web site enabling their visitors to initiate the live chat with the web site owner. The messages are delivered to the owner's smartphone (iOS or Android) or via a web app in a browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge and IE). Any domain name can have the "chat" subdomain provisioned to allow of unlimited chat ID's within their namespace. This makes for a highly scalable architecture.

"I appreciated Minimum's willingness to discuss and learn about our business and look for opportunities where we can do better."
Minimum was hired to develop an iPad app for the client's sales team to use when showcasing the client's portfolio. Minimum has both implemented new features and updated existing ones; the work is ongoing.
Chris Howell
Creative Design Manager, Sunland Group
The client is still measuring outcomes, but so far, Minimum has completed the tasks very well and efficiently. The client particularly appreciates how willing Minimum is to learn about the client's businesses and look for opportunities for improvement.
Sunland Group is located in Australia, in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. I am the Creative Design Manager, responsible for generating a range of corporate and marketing-specific visual communications for online, print, and mobile outlets in order to raise, unite, and elevate the Sunland brand and its developments.

App Development for Tech Incubator
"They aren't simply designers, but are capable of participating in long-term product strategy."
2011 - Ongoing
Minimum Inc. completed all UI/UX design and coding for an iOS and Android consumer social networking app. The team has since developed two additional apps for public and business chatting.
Founder, Archimedes Labs
Although the initial app was successfully launched at a mobile conference and became a standard of design for Apple, it fell short of download goals. Minimum Inc. excelled at readjusting product goals and improving design. Their follow-on products are more sustainable and still downloaded daily.
IT/Mobile App
Please describe your organization.
Archimedes Labs is a Palo Alto, California-based tech incubator. We developed an app called just.me, which is a full-featured media capturing and sharing app. It enables users to share their content with people from their address book based on groups they can create, or they can publish on Twitter and Facebook. We're now working on another app called chat.center.
What is your role or position at the organization?
I am the founder.
What business challenge were you trying to address with Minimum?
We were seeking a developer to help us launch a consumer social networking mobile application. It needed to be visually compelling and functionally engaging at capturing and acting on media to save, share, or publish it.
Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail.
Minimum provided full UI/UX design and coding of an IOS and Android app.
Our first app, just.me, had one explosive feature: if someone made a public post, another user could chat with that person within that post, even if they weren't friends. On Instagram for example, people can't simply click and chat with someone who made a post. We focused on that feature, which resulted in chat.center. It is the opposite of Chance: a person receives a chat ID in the form of a URL which plays the same role as an email or a phone number. If someone knows the chat URL, they can chat with that user, without installing any software. A web app is invoked through the URL which routes messages to the receiver. chat.center is a paid service aimed at businesses. It works like a software-as-a-service. A typical use case for it would be a company obtaining a chat ID which is the same as their domain name, with "chat." at the beginning. Once that is in place, a widget can be placed on the website, allowing users to send messages directly to a smartphone. It's a customer engagement tool.
Minimum assigned a team of 20 people for the development of Just.me. They handled the UI, UX, and design. They were in charge of some of the more complex iOS graphics which were hard to accomplish at the time, like bouncing screens.
We did some due diligence on Alex Komarov, the cofounder of Minimum, including interviews and paid trial designs.
Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?
Over the course of our multiyear engagement, the total cost of our projects falls in the $200,000 to $1 million range. However, this is a high figure because we have worked with them for so long on so many things, so I don't want to discourage smaller clients from approaching Minimum.
The work began in 2011 and is ongoing for our current app, chat.center.
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
We now have a great product, which launched in 2012. We have had two pivots and now have a successful company with a good product-market fit.
We launched just.me at a DEMO Mobile conference. In and of itself, this was an achievement, as that is an extremely difficult event at which to launch a product. The media audience saw it as an outstanding step forward, from a design point of view. Apple used our app in their roadshows, teaching other developers how they should design for iOS. It became a standard of the time in terms of very good design. This spilled over into acceptance so, within 3 months, we had reached half a million downloads across 220 countries. We became the social networking leader in many of those countries.
While this may sound successful, we're based in Silicon Valley, so the bar for success on a social media app is in the range of around 10 million downloads. Just.me did well, but it fell short of what I'd have wanted it to do in order to become sustainable, so we pivoted to a new app, Chance. This app is still available in the app stores, and it receives many downloads every day. It revolves around anonymous chats with strangers. The next pivot is our current app, chat.center, which allows businesses to chat immediately and directly with their customers.
It was a very good process with Alex as our anchor and manager.
What distinguishes Minimum from other providers?
Their UI/UX and design skills are outstanding. Futhermore, there is a huge difference between a person who can make a design and one who can understand product goals. When working with an external team, the individuals are the most important factor. I've worked with two members of Minimum, which have been world class. For example, one of their members was part of the team used by Steve Jobs to launch the first iPad.
I truly worked together with Minimum, iterating and learning from them. They aren't simply designers, but are capable of participating in long-term product strategy.
In hindsight, are there areas in which they could improve or things you might do differently?
There could be some improvement in the technical architecture prior to back-end coding.
Minimum is the best company I've worked with in terms of meeting deadlines, but, like all teams, they will be impacted by many variables. We haven't been on-time to the day, but an accuracy of 1-2 weeks is very good.
I always hope prices can be cheaper, so no one will ever receive a maximum rating from me, but Minimum was still worth it.
App Development for Mobile Translation Tool
"We were contacted for an interview Y Combinator, which wouldn't have happened if we didn't have a prototype."
Dec. 2015 - Ongoing
Minimum Inc. completed the development, design, and testing for the prototype and initial version of an on-demand interpreter iOS app. They continue to serve in a CTO capacity.
Mike Park
CEO/Co-Founder, LipSync
Minimum Inc. has been responsive and invested in success from the start. The team is proactive in resolving issues, articulates the project vision to developers, and provides valuable recommendations. Their prototype was instrumental in securing an interview with a top tech seed accelerator.
Software/Translation
LipSync basically works as an Uber for interpreters. For example, if a customer were to go to China on a business trip and needed to open a bank account there, they could use our app to order a bilingual interpreter. He could then have a three-way conversation with the interpreter, the teller, and himself right there at the bank. We initially envisioned it as a business-to-consumer app, but we've found a good enterprise opportunity. The on-demand interpreter aspect is still the same, but the payment is different. We're based in the US and China.
What is your position?
I am the CEO and co-founder of the company.
What business challenge were you trying to address with Minimum Inc.?
We needed a prototype of our app.
Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail.
We have a number of features that were built over the last few months. Minimum was responsible for development, UX/UI design, dealing with server-related issues, and beta testing. The app was first built for iOS, but we're planning to build an Android version as well.
Our team consisted of a frontend developer, a backend developer, an iOS designer, and a technical project manager. Our project manager was great at understanding our vision in lay terms and translating it to their team, which is very useful for non-technical clients.
How did you come to work with Minimum Inc.?
In November of 2015, I was looking for a chief technology officer [CTO] for my company. I'd raised the necessary money and knew enough about technology to at least work on a beta by myself, so I started looking online for developers that specialized in working with startups and offered outsourced technology services. I came across Minimum, along with some of their competitors. They got in touch very fast, and responsiveness is something that matters a lot to me as a startup founder. I explained the concept of the product and decided to work with Minimum a month later.
The cost varies month by month, depending on the tasks that need to be done. The average cost per month has been almost $12,000, so over four months we've spent $45,000-50,000. It's actually a really great deal for us, considering how good the work has been.
We started working together in early December 2015. The prototype was finished at the end of January 2016. Beta testing started in February, and version one of the app was built afterwards. Minimum has since worked as an outsourced CTO for me, doing work on things like UI/UX design and server-related issues. Work is ongoing with them, and they're going to build an Android app for us soon.
We were contacted for an interview with Y Combinator [a prominent tech incubator and seed accelerator], which wouldn't have happened if we didn't have a prototype in place, so Minimum was a great help.
Our initial idea consisted of having a chat function which would facilitate communicating with interpreters. Minimum suggested an annotations system which would allow saving images and texts that are used frequently. People would be inclined to go back to the platform in order to use those cards over and over again, and we would also build up a database of accurate interpretations, giving us a competitive advantage. This kind of insight isn't something that you'd get from regular contractors. Minimum is a part of my team, and they're trying to make the startup work, as opposed to simply delivering the project on spec.
How did Minimum Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?
Their team has been extremely responsive and professional. They took care of everything asked of them, down to trivial administrative elements like adding someone to the beta testing.
What distinguishes Minimum Inc. from other providers?
Having Minimum is the closest thing that a client can get to having a professional CTO onboard. I've worked with different development teams in the past. There are ones that aren't very good at engineering or strategy, but they are cheap. It's possible to pay $10,000 for a two month project for delivering a beta. The company will deliver it in eight months, and it will be a horrible, buggy result. In contrast, Minimum has made mock-ups, sent screenshots as the work progresses, and delivered the work in six weeks instead of three months, making it ready for testing within two months. On top of this, they're aggressively fast at identifying problems. If there's something wrong with the server, Minimum will find it immediately, talk about it among themselves, and solve it that day. We only hear about it a week later at a meeting, after it's been fixed.
Most people think of a CTO as a brilliant person that will fix any problem. In reality, a CTO is someone who can think about a business from a strategic perspective and solve problems.
Is there anything Minimum Inc. could have improved or done differently?
They need to fix their payment method. I have to make wire transfers every time I pay Minimum. It's 2016, and they're a tech company, so they should figure out a way to make payments easier, either through PayPal or Stripe. I don't want to open up my bank browser in order to do this. The tech part of their business is amazing though, and I wouldn't work with anyone else.
Overall Score Everything has been way above expectations. I want to reemphasize that we wouldn't have gotten a Y Combinator interview without Minimum's help, which is a very concrete and positive form of feedback that other startups would understand.
They've always delivered ahead of schedule, which is something I've never seen before.
I haven't referred them to anyone out of selfish reasons because I don't want them distracted from working on LipSync, but I definitely give Minimum my highest praise.
Mobile Firm UI Design
"They're so professionally unique."
Komarov Mobile assists with capacity management through their work in design and UI. The team has completed various projects primarily focusing on issues such as wireframes and marketing.
Upper Darby, Pennsylvania
Owner & CEO, Mobile App Developer
Komarov Mobile delivers thorough, detailed results and works well with little supervision. Although they have an exceptional understanding of the end user, the team can better consider design needs, such as clear, thorough, and executable instructions.
What was your main business goal in working with Komarov Mobile?
We've undertaken a few different projects with them. The projects they worked on with us have focused primarily on user interface. They fix the wireframes, and polish the marketing. We also work with them in order to manage our capacity. We have some UI and UX designers, but not enough for the demand that we find ourselves having. They are great at it, and deliver much better work than we could if we did it entirely in-house.
What was the process by which you selected Komarov Mobile to work with?
We were familiar with them from other projects, and they also have an established reputation for delivering quality work within the community.
Could elaborate upon the scope of the project?
As I previously mentioned, they focused entirely on design. The project didn't include any kind of custom development, programming, integration, or support.
How long ago was the most recent project completed?
They actually still have a pending project with us right now, and it'll be in progress for some time in the future.
Could you please provide a general cost estimate for the project?
I'd say it's typically around $50,000.
How happy are you with the results of their work so far?
Oh, I'm quite happy with the results so far.
Is there anything that you would consider special or unique about Komarov Mobile when compared to other providers you've worked with?
Their work is very thorough and detailed oriented. There are certain projects that are more conducive to their capabilities. When clients can take their time and desire maximum detail, that's when they ought to enlist the Komarov team. They work independently very well and require very little micromanagement. They're so professionally unique. They put such great focus into understanding the user.
Do you think there are areas that Komarov Mobile could improve upon?
Perhaps there is one thing: they should cultivate more empathy for the developers and not only the end users. For example, creating instructions that are easier for developers to follow, which isn't necessarily a series of beautiful pictures, but having the requirement in every detail. That's something I asked them to do because not only do we need to create beautiful designs, we also have to make them executable.
That's where we have a lot of expertise, and we are more aware of which items should be included or not. They might provide a quote for something, and we're expecting that would cover the entire UI and UX. However, we later found out, "Oh, we [Komarov] weren't considering the application icons." That would normally be included in the designer's work. It would have helped if they were more explicit with their work deliverables, but that's all.
E-Marketing Mobile App Design
"They have a lot of experience in the industry."
Komarov Mobile created the design and functioning strategy for a dual-platform mobile app. They also developed the app, which allows retailers to engage with customers via email and text.
Founder & CEO, Marketing & e-commerce Platform
Komarov Mobile's industry experience was instrumental in guiding the product to market and increasing its success. The team delivered excellent results and an appealing visual design.
Can you give a description of what your company does?
We are an emarketing company, and we offer solutions where our users, our retailers who use mobile apps and other emarketing platform type things like email and text messaging to engage with the customer base.
What is your position within the company?
I am the founder. The chief executive officer.
What were your business goals or objectives for working with Komarov Mobile?
I have worked with Komarov Mobile to develop the design for a mobile app, which is what they did. So, we worked with the strategy and design of what the mobile app should do, and how it should look like.
How did you find out about Komarov Mobile?
I learned about them through the Internet and different blogs.
Could you tell me about the scope of the project? Was Komarov Mobile just involved in the design work?
Yes. At that time, when I was working with them, they were probably involved with design. But I understand that, since then, they kept them busy to do the actual development work as well.
How long ago was the project completed?
About two years back.
Can you give me a general cost estimate for the project?
Under $50,000.
How happy are you with the results of the work?
They did a great job.
Was it just for iPhone or for Android, too?
We used the design for both.
Compared to other developers you may have worked with in the past, did you find anything unique or special about Komarov Mobile?
I think that they have a lot of experience in the industry. I think they've been instrumental in guiding the project to market and giving it a better chance of being successful.
Do you think there's any area that Komarov Mobile could improve in or do slightly differently?
No. I think they have been a good developer.
They stayed with the estimates.
Beach Guide iPhone App
"Komarov Mobile was more interested in creating the highest quality design possible."
Using a provided wireframe, Komarov Mobile completed the design and backend development of a mobile app. The app promoted tourism and served as a beach and tour guide for visitors.
Owner, Mobile App Agency
Komarov Mobile created an exceptional visual design that enhanced the user's travel experience. The team engaged in a collaborative partnership that valued quality service and products over profit.
Can your briefly describe your company?
We are located on a tropical Pacific beach and give tours of the surrounding area.
What were your goals for the project?
We wished to provide our customers with a better experience when they visit our area while promoting our location to visitors around the world.
How did you discover Komarov Mobile?
After searching for a designer and developer for awhile, I came across Komarov Mobile. I was stunned by the quality of their work, and they immediately became my first choice.
What was the scope of the project?
I created the wireframe, and them handed the work off to Komarov Mobile. They collaborated with me to create a great visual design, and completed the backend development.
What was unique about Komarov Mobile?
While other firms seemed to be most interested in profit, Komarov Mobile was more interested in creating the highest quality design possible.
I have recommended Komarov Mobile and will use them again in the future.

A History of Enforcers in All-Star Games
John Scott's selection to the 2016 NHL All-Star Game is not without precedent. Having a guy known more for punching than puckhandling play in the NHL All-Star Game, while rare, has happened on several occasions.
Then there is the curious case of Chris Nilan, whose near-appearance in the 1991 All-Star Game was, until now, the most controversial selection ever made.
But neither Scott, or Nilan before him, would have been the first pugilist to play in an NHL All-Star Game.
John Ferguson played in the 1965 and 1967 NHL All-Star Games.
John Ferguson, whose main job was to protect Jean Beliveau, is generally regarded as the NHL's first true enforcer. Ferguson played in the 1965 and 1967 All-Star Games, back when the Stanley Cup-winning teams — here, the Montreal Canadiens — would play against a squad comprised of the best players from the other teams. While Ferguson's was only in those games because he was on the Cup-winning team, he nonetheless played in them, and was not scratched.
Fast forward 21 years. Famed enforcer Bob Probert of the Detroit Red Wings skated in the 1988 NHL All-Star Game as a non-starting reserve player. Back then, fans would vote the starters, while the coach of each conference — usually, the two coaches who appeared in the previous season's Stanley Cup Finals — would select the reserves. Edmonton Oilers coach Glen Sather picked Probert, who ended up with 24 fights and a league-leading 398 penalty minutes that season. Although he was nearly a point-per-game player in 1987-88, Probert's role on the Red Wings was clearly that of a tough guy.
Bob Probert (center), shown here with Mark Messier (left) and Wayne Gretzky (right) at the 1988 NHL All-Star Game.
The next year, Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Dave Manson was selected by Sather — again, the Campbell Conference coach — as a reserve player. While he simmered down later in his career, Manson got into many fights during his first few seasons, going toe-to-toe with anyone. He had 15 fighting majors in 1988-89 and was third in the league with 352 PIMs. Still, he had a career year and was many times Chicago's number two defenseman, often paired with Doug Wilson.
Which brings us to Nilan in 1991 He wasn't nearly the offensive player that Probert or Manson were in their All-Star years; he finished the season with 15 points in an injury-shortened 41-game season. But Nilan's coach on the Boston Bruins, Mike Milbury, was also the Wales Conference All-Star Team coach that season, and picked Nilan for the game. He also stuck by his guns, defending his decision:
"I'm not prepared to take any grief from anybody," Milbury said. "I tried to make all the obvious selections. The remaining four or five spots, I considered qualities such as leadership, courage and commitment.
"Last year's 12-7 (All-Star) final was an inaccurate showing of our game. (It's a) gross oversight not to look at the physical player. We've recognized fighting for 40, 50 years now." (source)
Chris Nilan didn't play in the 1991 NHL All-Star Game. He didn't even put on the jersey. But if he did, it would have probably looked like this. [PuckJunk.com photo illustration]
"Mad Mike" recognized that fighting was part of the game, and Nilan was still one of the game's best fighters. That drew ire from the NHL, who wanted Guy Lafleur to play in the All-Star Game, as "The Flower" was set to retire at the end of the season. The NHL then established the "President's Selection," which allowed the league to appoint a veteran player on each team. The board of governors also decided that, starting next season, the players who weren't voted in by fans would be picked by a committee, and not the All-Star Game coaches.
But the league didn't seek to remove Nilan from the game. His picture was even in the game program (which I swear I have but, sadly, can't find now). Ultimately, it was Nilan who removed himself. Soon after learning that he was going to play in the All-Star Game, the Bruins tough guy played a pickup basketball game against teammate Cam Neely and broke his ankle. He was replaced in the 1991 All-Star Game by teammate Dave Christian.
Players can no longer make it into an All-Star Game by being on the Cup-winning team like John Ferguson did in the 1960s. Nor can they be selected by a coach like Bob Probert and Dave Manson were in the 1980s, and like Chris Nilan was in 1991. And next year, players likely won't be able to be voted in, either. So when John Scott plays in the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, he won't be the first enforcer to do so, though he will, almost undoubtedly, be the last. ■
NOTE: This article was updated at 11:15 a.m. CST to reflect the NHL's announcement to keep John Scott as an All-Star Team captain.

Sébastien Fullum says:
Great reads up here on the enforcer subjet. Holler!! Like Milbury had so well said; they are bringing qualities such as leadership, courage and commitment to the, or else, less motivating All-Star Game… Though now in a 3 on 3 concept, having only 11 players per team – winning 90909$ can be motivating.
Sal Barry says:
Welcome to the site and thank you for the comment. And I agree — winning some $ was a great idea. I felt like the players tried harder this year.

Establishing Currency for the male Pharyngeal Voice
as Historical and Contemporary Classical Instrument.
Understanding and applying aspects of voce faringea (Pharyngeal Voice), or masculine-timbre falsettone, how they are applied to the bel canto repertoire of the tenor contraltino, Rossini baritenor and the haute-contre, and may be representative of the techniques of the Manuel Garcia tradition.
Current summary of doctoral work:
Kenneth E Querns Langley is an RCM doctoral research student doing work in Bel Canto Historical Performance Practice to demonstrate across theory and practice a succinct and functional understanding of the nature of the head-voice based high tenor voices of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Voice types such as the haute-contre, tenor contraltino and Rossini baritenor, used not just by Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti and others up to mid nineteenth century, and each had a high tessitura with upper vocal extensions sometimes well beyond top c" in voce piena in testa (full head voice).
The technique used to achieve this is usually referred to as falsettone or voce faringea (Pharyngeal Voice). Using ethnographic research, extant treatises of the Bel Canto masters and his own living technical tradition, Ken has reconstructed this enigmatic and oft overlooked vocal phenomenon. He trained for 15 years with multiple vocal professors each in the direct technical tradition of Manuel Garcia, with only four historical professors through Mathilde Marchesi back to Garcia. He uses this living tradition, handed down from Porpora to Ansani, Manuel Garcia I & II through to the present day as a special filter to offer a distinctive understanding of the diverse treaties, and reconstructs the work of the authentic Bel Canto tenors including approaches to registration, fioratura, legato, messa di voce, head-voice and much more.
Along side the performance practice and historical methodologies, scientific methods such as laryngoscopy and acoustic analysis are being used to create new working definitions of some of the more vaguely understood aspects these voice types, id est anterior phonation and pharyngeal voice (voce faringea) acoustics. It is hoped that through this research we will not only have a more well-rounded understanding of these vocal fächer, but that we will be able to restore some lost repertoire and perform it in a more historically sensitive way, creating modern-day premieres of works that have either been disregarded or transposed as to be sung by subsequent tenor types.
Ken maintains a companion research interest in the importance of Britain in the history of bel canto and rare bel canto repertoire.
Ken is currently in his fourth year of a research doctorate of music in London at the Royal College of Music focusing on reconstructing historically informed singing practice of the bel canto tenors 1770-1850.

|Fat-Be-Gone |
|Marketing Plan |
|3/21/2010 |
"Going Green" is important to people right now so it is a great time to capitalize on this.
In order to determine the size and potential demographics of the market the company has conducted research. With the evaluation of other similar products we were able to determine the demographics. The market size is complicated due to the fact it will be sold in stores and on the internet, the internet allows for those in other countries to also purchase the product. By deciding what consumer behaviors we wanted to target I was able to obtain the demographic information. We want to target those who are health conscious. This would include those who use gyms, visit vitamin shoppes and those who shop at natural food markets and websites. The average age of this group of consumers ranges from 18 to 45 approximately, both male and females. Since this age group is a large percentage of the world population we anticipate a very large market. It is estimated that 15% of the population have gym memberships; this will be part of the targeted market. Upon gathering this information the company ultimately decided that the marketing would be targeted toward those seeking a healthy lifestyle. The product is a natural supplement so marketing it in locations that have healthy places nearby is important. In most cities there are different types of neighborhoods so the placement of stores that carry the product is important also.
Fat-Be-Gone has a very generic, predictable name that would probably lead people to think that it is similar to every other weight loss supplement on the market. The generic name is purposely chosen so that the product is not confused as some other kind of natural herbal supplement; we wanted the purpose to be clear when seeing the product in an ad or at the store. With that being said the product would appear to have a lot of competition when in fact competition for this product is scarce. Yes there are products that are made up of natural herbs that are intended to help one lose weight, if you read the fine print they are in fact not 100% natural. This product is apart from the crowd because when we say 100% that is exactly what we mean. Those who frequent the green market and appreciate natural/organic products will know the difference and be aware of this. There are very loose laws when it comes to being able to claim that a product is natural. We choose not to use this loop hole. If the product is from our company and is supposed to be organic or natural then it most certainly will be. This will show the consumers that we are an ethically correct company who does not want to get ahead by being. This kind of thing is important when it comes to word of mouth, many consumers would be offended to know that companies lie about their products ingredients. Also, besides the 100% natural ingredients our product focuses solely on the metabolism and boosting it. Not just in the short term which is what most of the competitors actually offer....
