Ladbrokes-coral – a good bet on how to do post-merger digital integration
Months after the completion of Ladbrokes and Coral's merger, the combined betting operator can see some clear trends emerging, summed up by "very strong growth in digital" offset by reductions in the traditional retail business.
In financial terms, that translates, for the most recent quarter, to a fall in retail revenues of £5.2 million, while digital is up £24.2 million. In strategic terms, it affirms the company's focus on getting an integrated digital platform in place for the merged entity and continuining to invest in new technology, back and front of house.
That said, there has been a focus, certainly in the domestic UK market, on moving from volume to value in the online sports area. What that has meant in practice is a reduction in actives at both ladbrokes.com and coral.co.uk, but that reduction being compensated for by an increase in net revenue per active at both the brands.
Overall CEO Jim Mullen is able to point to some significant successes in pulling together an integrated digital strategy post-merger. There's a long history of mergers failing or running into difficulty due to problems with integrating disparate technology platforms.
But Ladbrokes Coral has migrated its UK digital systems to one platform within six months of the merger closing and continues to align the back office operational systems. Mullen is correct to point to the need for some credit here:
Perhaps the most ambitious targets we set ourselves for the year was the plan to quickly migrate our UK digital systems to one unified platform, thus unlocking the benefits of developing one product and rolling out across brands.This was substantial and for those who may be inclined to brush this over, it's probably worth reminding that very few have achieved such a feat in such a short space of time.
He adds:
Please do not underestimate the hard work involved and importance of delivering against these targets. What we are doing here has been instrumental in identifying the opportunities that we see for our business going forward. As we said back in March, we took a specific approach to delivering synergies and integration. Our original estimates were based on high-level assumptions and their initial upgrade results was only because of a few months of working together, and therefore, getting to know a respect of operations.
For the next 6 to 12 months, the priorities are:
Roll out of a new retail EPOS system, currently being trialled.
Introducing new customer service tech, following an investment in Salesforce.
A single wallet connected to Ladbrokes Grid.
Integrated Business Intelligence and CRM.
Multi-channel value
All of this matters as it enables Ladbrokes Coral to bet on capturing more and more revenue from multi-channel customers, whose lifetime value is estimated to be around twice as high as their single channel counterparts. Over the past six months, multi-channel customers have delivered 53% of digital revenues for coral.co.uk and 36% for ladbrokes.com. Mullen says:
We now have over 1.3 million multi-channel customers, and we continue to demonstrate loyalty and value above the normal customer behavior. With an average lifetime value of 2x higher than non-multi-channel customers, we continue to help drive our digital growth.
The discrepancy in the proportion of [first half] digital revenues provided by multi-channel customers to the Ladbrokes brand compared to Coral, in my mind, reflects what I said at the merger, Coral were 12 months ahead of Ladbrokes in multi-channel. So I don't look at this as a gap, but a clear opportunity.
There are also some longer term considerations in all this that have led to some short term pain, most notably around the mobile Sportsbook offering, where new iterations and upgrades have been stalled. Mullen explains:
In this case, our decision was to move to one single platform for the UK digital business, and it meant that product development slowed in the first half. That meant, until April this year, we were relatively light in rolling out new product. But now that the integration of the platform is complete, we have been quick to get back into the game.
It also highlights why making this transition early was so important, because with the football season now upon us, our priority had to be to ensure that the product was fit for the season, ready to compete and delivering what the customer wanted. I said that once we had integrated the platforms, the key for us was to get the natural cadence of product improvement back and build that rhythm of continuous improvement… we have.
Also looking ahead, expect increasingly emphasis on exploiting the potential of the sort of data-driven analytics tech used by Coral to create a better and closer understanding of the customer as well as the value of that customer. Mullen says:
Across all brands, we now have a significant player base, with some common and some differing customer cohorts. This may require a different approach to acquisition retention. However, what is common is that there is a clear benefit of the merger. The analytical and optimization tools that are applied are consistent. But of course, the recommended outputs differ according to brand, customer cohort and type.
So the data is providing insight to allow us to determine not only which channel spend should be applied to, but also where the best value and yield is to found by channel and customer cohort. On this basis, it provides us with the opportunity to benefit even further when we apply what we believe is a competitive advantage in driving yield and retention, and that is our dual-brand approach.
All told, Mullen pitches the Ladbrokes Coral story as being one of a successful corporate merger followed up by a successful – to date – technology integration. This is, he argues:
a company that is not struggling to digest a merger, but one executing a planned integration, working to build on a scale created and seeking to deliver on those opportunities presented. Our digital performance, the key driver for our merger rationale, is good. And as we maximize the merger opportunity offered by one platform, the best of both and multi-channel, there is more to aim for.
There are still challenges to be met in the traditional retail business and regulatory issues that remain unresolved in the macro-environmnent. But Ladbrokes Coral is as good an example as you can find of a well-planned technology integration strategy to support rather than undermine a corporate merger.

Hockey East is always unpredictable, and it looks to be no different in 2008-09. This season, Hockey East features 53 current NHL prospects. Each conference member team except Merrimack has at least one NHL drafted prospect on its roster. Boston University leads Hockey East with 13 prospects.
After two failed trips to the Frozen Four in 2006 and 2007, the third time was indeed the charm for the Boston College Eagles to claim college hockey's greatest prize. The Eagles will look to successfully defend their national championship.
The Eagles lost few players in the offseason and will field an excellent team with tremendous depth. The Eagles were one of four teams, and the only one in Hockey East, that finished in the top ten nationally in both team offense and defense, finishing third and tenth respectively. And that's not likely to change much this season.
The Eagles suffered their most significant losses up front when Dan Bertram (CHI), Joe Adams, Pat Gannon and Matt Greene graduated. But the biggest loss of all was to Hobey Hat Trick finalist Nathan Gerbe, who opted to forego his senior season to sign with the Buffalo Sabres. The diminutive dynamo led the nation in scoring with 68 points (35 goals, 33 assists) and points per game (1.57). His 35 goals also ranked first. Gerbe became a one-man wrecking crew in the Frozen Four, posting eight points.
The best news for Boston College coming into this season is the return of senior Brock Bradford (BOS). The Burnaby, BC native was limited to just five games last season after suffering two injuries to the same arm last year. Bradford, who will serve as captain this season, posted five points (three goals, two assists) in his limited junior season.
Joining Bradford upfront are returning top scorers in sophomore Joe Whitney, junior Ben Smith (CHI) and senior Benn Ferriero (PHX). The trio, along with Gerbe, gave Boston College four 40-plus scorers last season. Whitney led the nation with 40 assists and finished second on the team with 51 points. After posting just 11 points in his rookie season two years ago, Smith exploded for 50 points (25 goals, 25 assists) last season. Ferriero, who will serve as one of the assistant captains this season, finished with 42 points (17 goals, 25 assists).
Five outstanding newcomers will add to the already-deep Boston College forward lines, including Cam Atkinson (CBJ), Paul Carey (COL) and Jimmy Hayes (TOR). Atkinson is coming off of a stellar prep career at Avon Old Farms, where he captured Prep Player of the Year honor after posting 63 points (26 goals, 37 assists). Carey comes to the Heights from Indiana (USHL) where he posted 66 points (34 goals, 32 assists). Hayes, who saw his playing time cut last season due to a release issue with the USNTDP, posted 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists) in 29 games with Lincoln (USHL).
Aside from losing Mike Brennan (CHI) to graduation, Boston College's blueline returns intact. Among those returning are senior Tim Kunes (CAR) and sophomore Nick Petrecki (SJ). Kunes made some greats strides in his development last season, which could be seen in his increased ice time. He posted eight points (one goal, seven assists) and finished third on the team with a plus-22. Petrecki, a Hockey East All-Rookie Team selection, enjoyed a stellar freshman campaign that was highlighted by his performance in the Beanpot Championship game versus Harvard. The Clifton Park, NY native posted 12 points (five goals, seven assists) and led the Eagles with 102 penalty minutes.
The Eagles blueline will welcome three newcomers, led by the offensively skilled Tommy Cross (BOS). Played most of last season with before moving on to a brief stint in the USHL with the Junior Blue Jackets.
Sophomore John Muse also returns after a sensational rookie season last year. The East Falmouth, MA native became one of the best stories coming out of Hockey East last season. Muse led the nation in minutes played (2725:05), playing every minute in all 44 games. He posted a 25-11-8 record that included three shutouts. His 2.20 goals against average also led Hockey East.
Despite finishing second in Hockey East, the Boston University Terriers failed to make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament last season. They hope to change that this year.
While they lost some key players, we may actually see a vastly deeper and more successful Boston University team this season. The best news that the Terriers could hope for coming into the season was the return of two significant cogs to last season's team in senior defenseman Matt Gilroy and sophomore Colin Wilson (NSH). Gilroy, an All-America East First Team selection led the Terriers in defenseman scoring last season with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) and co-led the team with a plus-17. Wilson, the top collegian taken in the June draft (seventh overall), lived up to his billing last season, posting 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) to led all Terriers rookies and capturing the Hockey East Rookie of the Year honor.
Head coach Jack Parker was both thrilled and a bit surprised that both players have returned to don the scarlet and white for another season.
The biggest issue facing Boston University coming into season is goaltending. Last season's top two netminders are gone. Brett Bennett (PHX) was dismissed from the team back in May and Karson Gillespie has graduated. The lone returning netminder is sophomore Adam Kraus, who played in only two games last season.
However, coming in this season are a pair of talented newcomers in Grant Rollheiser (TOR) and Kieran Millan. Rollheiser comes to Boston University from Trail (USHL) after a 19-26-0 season that included .911 save percentage. Millan comes to Boston University from Spruce Grove (AJHL) after a 29-19-8 season that included two shutouts.
With the uncertainty of the goaltending situation, the Terriers defense will be relied on to help bring some stability to the back end. In addition to Gilroy, Boston University returns virtually of their defensemen, but the emphasis this season will be on defensive zone play.
One new addition to the defensive corps to watch is the excellent-skating David Warsofsky (STL). The Marshfield, MA native comes to Boston University after a stellar year with the U.S. National Team Development Program (USNTDP), where he posted 40 points (nine goals, 31 assists).
The forward lines may the Terriers deepest area this season, despite the losses of Peter MacArthur and Bryan Ewing to graduation. In addition to Wilson, the returning top scorers also include outstanding sophomore Nick Bonino (SJ). The Unionville, CT native posted 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists).
While returning to the NCAA Tournament is something that the Terriers hope to achieve, Parker says that there is one goal before then that is equally, if not more important to him to achieve.
The 2007-08 season was a tough one for the Maine Black Bears. After two consecutive Frozen Four appearances in 2006 and 2007, Maine failed to make the NCAA Tournament and struggled to a disappointing ninth place finish in Hockey East. The Black Bears will look to get things back on track when they open their 2008-09 season on Oct. 17 facing off against Alaska-Anchorage in the Alaska Gold Rush tournament in Fairbanks.
Coming into the season, Maine will have two pressing issues to address. The first is goaltending. Ben Bishop, who played in all but two games last season, opted to forego his senior year to sign with the St. Louis Blues. He posted a 13-18-3 record that included two shutouts. The lone returning netminder is junior Dave Wilson, who saw action in only four games without recording any decisions.
Competing with Wilson for playing time in goal this season are two newcomers, including Scott Darling (PHX). The Lemont, Ill. native comes to Maine from Indiana (USHL), where he posted a 27-8-2 record. As head coach Tim Whitehead explains, Darling is welcome addition to the team and along with Wilson should be a very good tandem this season.
The second issue to address is offense, and this includes the power play. The Black Bears ranked 48th in the nation last season with an offense that averaged 2.26 goals per game. Even worse last season was the team's power play, which finished 52nd in the nation, converting at 12.8 percent. The 19 total power play tallies were the fewest in Hockey East.
Compounding matters is the fact that Maine lost their top six scorers in the off-season. Forward Andrew Sweetland opted to forego the remainder of his eligibility to sign with the Florida Panthers and the rest all graduated. Senior defenseman Simon Danis-Pepin (CHI) is the top returning scorer after posting 12 points (four goals, eight assists) last season.
In order for the Black Bears to increase their offensive production, it will have to come by committee. Returning players such as sophomore Robbie Dee (EDM) and senior co-captain Jeff Marshall will be relied on to help pick up the slack. The Black Bears will also have six new additions upfront, including Dartmouth transfer Kevin Swallow and Swedish-born forwards Gustav Nyquist (DET) and Theo Andersson to help the cause as well.
Where Maine will be strongest coming into season will be on defense. With the uncertainty in goal to start the season, the blueline will go a long way to bring some stability to the defensive end. Senior co-captain Simon Danis-Pepin and fellow senior Matt Duffy (FLA) lead an outstanding defensive group. The versatile Duffy finished third on the team in defenseman scoring with eight points (six goals, two assists).
Adding some depth to the Maine blueline will a trio of newcomers including Ryan Hegarty (ANA) and Will O'Neill (ATL). Hegarty comes to Maine after an outstanding year with the USNTDP where he posted 22 points. O'Neill, who had originally committed to New Hampshire, comes to the Orono campus after a solid season with Lincoln (USHL), where he posted 24 points (five goals, 19 assists). Whitehead notes that the duo will bring similar qualities to the team's defense.
After a very strong first half that saw them surge up the national rankings last season, the UMass Minutemen struggled in much of the second half and wound up finishing eighth in Hockey East. They'll look to build on last season's successes while also looking to stay healthy, especially on defense.
Though UMass didn't lose many players in the off-season, they did lose some key players who leave some significant holes that need to be filled. Michael Kostka and David Leaderer are the two on defense that have graduated. Kostka, an All-Hockey East Second team selection, led the Minutemen in defenseman scoring last season with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists). Where he'll be particularly missed will be on the power play, after leading the team with seven tallies. The stalwart Leaderer was also valuable cog on the UMass blueline, finishing the season with eight points (three goals, five assists) playing in all 36 games. UMass does return an outstanding group on the blueline, led by juniors Justin Braun (SJ) and Martin Nolet (LA). Braun is the top returning scorer among defensemen after posting 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) last season. Nolet, along with Braun, has become a key component on UMass' power play. He posted six points (two goals, four assists) in 31 games.
One returning defenseman who will not be in the lineup when the season starts is senior John Wessbecker (TB). The Victoria, MN native struggled through last season with injuries and will start his senior campaign out of the lineup recovering from two surgeries. He saw action in just 15 games, posting three assists. As head coach Don Cahoon explains, Wessbecker's presence was greatly missed last season when he was out of the lineup.
Another area where holes will need to be filled is up front. Matt Burto and excellent two-way forward P.J. Fenton have graduated. Fenton finished second on the team with 19 assists and posting 28 points overall. Burto finished with 11 points (five goals, six assists).
Last season, the Minutemen averaged 2.72 goals per game, which ranked 31st in the nation, but they will need to find a way to more goals out of all of their forward lines collectively. Seniors Alex Berry (TOR) and team captain Cory Quirk were the only two players on the UMass roster last season to tally ten or more goals. Quirk led the team with 11 goals and finished with 29 points overall. Berry, who became a dominant presence on special teams, finished the season with 17 points (ten goals, seven assists) and led UMass with 63 penalty minutes.
Four newcomers join the group upfront including Danny Hobbs (NYR) and Casey Wellman. Both players come to UMass after playing in the USHL last season with Ohio and Cedar Rapids respectively. One recruit that the Minutemen lost was the highly touted John Carlson. The 2008 first round pick of the Washington Capitals opted to play in the Canadian Major Junior League with London (OHL) instead.
The area that should continue to develop quite nicely For UMass this season is in goal. Sophomore Paul Dainton and junior Dan Meyers give the Minutemen a solid one-two punch between the pipes. Dainton, a Hockey East All-Rookie team selection, enjoyed a very good freshman campaign posting a 12-14-6 record that included one shutout. Meyers, who saw action in just five games, posted a 2-2-0 record.
After a 2006-07 campaign that saw the UMass-Lowell RiverHawks finish ninth in Hockey East with just eight overall wins, the 2007-08 season saw a much improved team. The RiverHawks climbed up to finish seventh and doubled their total number of wins. When they open their 2008-09 season on Oct. 11 against host Colgate, UMass-Lowell will be looking to build on what they've achieved. And that could actually be attainable because with the exception of defenseman Kelly Sullivan graduating, the RiverHawks return all of their regulars from last season.
One area on the UMass-Lowell roster where notable improvement has been made has been in spreading out the offense, which resulted in better offensive numbers and balanced production. Junior Kory Falite returns as the top scorer this season. Falite, an All-Hockey East Second team selection, posted 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) last season. Fellow junior and assistant captain Ben Holmstrom returns as the team's co-assist leader with 20 after posting 27 points.
A player UMass-Lowell hopes to get increased scoring from this season will be junior Chris Auger (CHI). The RiverHawks lone NHL prospect saw his offensive production plateau last season, posting 14 points (four goals, ten assists) in 33 games.
In addition to the returning players upfront, UMass-Lowell will bring in four newcomers. Three are freshmen and there is one junior in UMass transfer Sam D'Agostino. Matt Ferreira could be one of the best feel good stories coming out of Hockey East this season. Originally slated to come to Lowell last season, Ferriera needed to have emergency surgery prior to the start of the 2007-08 season due to a brain tumor and ended up playing another year of junior hockey with his hometown Brampton Capitals (OPJHL) team in Ontario. Ferriera was able to play a full season last year and he finished with 65 points (43 points, 22 assists).
Defense will be another area that should be vastly improved, if for no other reason because of added experience. While the UMass-Lowell's blueline will have no seniors on it this year, it should still be quite good. Junior Barry Goers and sophomore Maury Edwards lead the RiverHawks defensive corps. Goers returns as the team's top scoring defenseman, posting 24 points (four goals, 20 assists). Edwards was one of the best young defensemen coming out of Hockey East last season. The Hockey East All-Rookie team selection posted 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists). Of Edwards' eight goals, seven came on the power play, a category that he led the team in.
Joining the returning group on the blueline are two freshmen including Tim Carr. He is the son of former UMass-Lowell standout forward Mike Carr. The younger Carr comes to Lowell from Burlington (OPJHL), where he posted 38 points (10 goals, 28 assists) last season.
Behind the defenders, will be the very solid tandem of juniors Carter Hutton and Nevin Hamilton. The two split time last season. Hutton went 7-11-2 with two shutouts, while Hamilton went 8-6-2. Both Hutton and Hamilton also put up very good save percentages, posting a .909 and.911 save percentage respectively.
Though they still finished in the Hockey East basement, the Merrimack Warriors greatly improved their record from two seasons ago from three wins to 12. When they open their 2008-08 season hosting Robert Morris on Oct. 11, they'll look to improve that in hopes of getting out of the Hockey East cellar.
The issue facing Merrimack coming into the season is offensive production. The Warriors ranked 55th in the nation last season in offense, averaging 2.09 goals per game. The 71 total goals that they scored were the fewest in Hockey East and third fewest in the nation. Only Alabama-Huntsville and Brown scored fewer goals. Compounding matters is the loss of Matt Jones, who opted to forego the remainder of his eligibility to sign with the San Jose Sharks. The Kentwood, MI native led Merrimack in goal scoring last season with 15 and finished second on the team with 22 points. While the Warriors do return top scorer Rob Ricci, they won't start the season with him in the lineup due to injury. Ricci, who will serve as a co-captain this season, tallied 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) last season.
Aside from Jones and Ricci, the only other player to post ten or more goals last season is returning junior J.C. Robitaille. The Des Ruisseaux, Quebec native finished fourth on the team with 16 points (ten goals, six assists).
Merrimack will welcome four newcomers upfront that should help boost the Warriors offensive production, including two high-scorers from the AJHL in Jesse Todd and Elliot Sheen. The gritty Todd comes to Merrimack from Camrose, where he posted 70 points (35 goals, 35 assists). The agile Sheen, who is the brother of Holy Cross sophomore forward Everett Sheen, comes to Merrimack from Okotoks, where he led the Oilers with 70 points (35 goals, 35 assists).
One area where the Warriors look very solid coming into the season is on the blueline. Junior assistant captain Joe Loprieno leads Merrimack's defensive corps. The Warriors also welcome back junior Pat Bowen. Back in July, Bowen underwent emergency surgery to have his spleen removed and the Merrimack faithful couldn't be happier to see the Marshfileld, MA native back on the ice. Bowen played in 25 games last season posting eight points (two goals, six assists).
The position on the Merrimack roster that all eyes will be on is in goal. This also looks to be the Warriors' strength heading into the season. Senior Patrick Watson and junior Andrew Braithwaite, who split time last season, both return. Watson played in 13 games, posting a 4-7-2 record. Braithwaite emerged as one of Merrimack's top players last season. He posted an 8-11-2 record. His 2.38 goals against averaged ranked 26th in the nation, while his .922 save percentage ranked 15th.
Merrimack also welcomes an outstanding goaltender in Joe Cannata this season. He comes to Merrimack after an excellent year with the USNTDP, where he compiled a 16-14-3 record. He also posted a 2.56 goals against average and .899 save percentage. Though he was not drafted this past June, Cannata will be eligible again for the 2009 NHL Draft. He's an average-sized goaltender who is noted for his exceptional positional play, composure and mental toughness. And he will certainly challenge the returning netminders for the starting job this season.
After finishing up the 2007-08 regular season as Hockey East champions, things didn't end the way that the University of New Hampshire Wildcats had hoped in the post-season. They suffered a heartbreaking triple overtime loss to Boston College in the Hockey East tournament semi-finals before being unceremoniously bounced from the NCAA Tournament by Notre Dame. New Hampshire will look to remedy when they open their 2008-09 season on Oct. 11 hosting Wisconsin at the Whittemore Center.
Though the Wildcats only graduated five players, they are five significant losses that New Hampshire will have to find a way this season to replace. And nowhere is that going to be more important than in goal. Hockey East Player of the Year and an All-America East First team selection Kevin Regan (BOS) was one of the nation's best goaltenders last season. He posted a 23-8-1 record that included three shutouts. His .930 save percentage ranked tied for fifth in the nation and his .734 winning percentage ranked third. Regan's successor is junior Brian Foster (FLA). The Pembroke, NH native only played in six games last season, going 2-2-2. Rookies Tyler Scott and Matt DiGirolamo will also be competing for ice time in net as well this season.
The defense lost two key cogs in Craig Switzer and Brad Flaishans. Both rearguards led the team in defensemen scoring last season posting 24 and 20 points respectively. Though the losses of Switzer and Flaishans are significant, the Wildcats do return a very good corps, anchored by seniors Jamie Fritsch and co-captain Joe Charlebois (CHI). The stalwart Fritsch played in 37 of 38 last season, posting ten points (four goals, six assists). Charlebois is coming off of a stellar junior campaign that culminated with being named Hockey East's Best Defensive Defenseman. The Potsdam, NY native emerged as one of the best rearguards coming out of Hockey East last season. Charlebois posted nine points (one goal, eight assists) and a team-best plus-26.
Two newcomers join the Wildcats defensive corps this season, including Blake Kessel (NYI). The Verona, WI native is the younger sibling of current Boston Bruin Phil Kessel. The younger Kessel is coming off of a sensational year with Waterloo (USHL), where he led the league in defenseman scoring with 57 points (19 goals, 38 assists) and captured the USHL Defenseman of the Year honor. Blake Kessel, like his older brother, possesses an electrifying element to his game that the New Hampshire faithful will be able to simply marvel at.
The forward lines will be one area on the Wildcats roster that will be an interesting one to watch unfold coming into the season. The daunting task of replacing two 40-point players in Matt Fornataro and Mike Radja may have to come by committee this season unless someone really steps up. The duo alone combined to post a quarter of all the team's points (89) last season. One player that has the capability of taking that big step up offensively is sophomore sensation James vanRiemsdyk (PHI). There had been speculation that the Middletown, NJ native would leave New Hampshire in the off-season to sign with Philadelphia. Fortunately for the Wildcats, vanRiemsdyk has returned. And he is poised to potentially better the 34 points (11 goals, 23 assists) that he posted last season en route to being named to the Hockey East All-Rookie team.
Another returning player that could help replenish the lost offense that New Hampshire suffered is junior Peter Leblanc (CHI). After posting just five points in his rookie season two years ago, Leblanc tripled his point total last season as one of the Wildcats' best utility guys upfront. The Hamilton, ON native finished the year with five goals and ten assists.
The 2007-08 season saw a Northeastern Huskies team that continued to build and make strides in many areas, resulting in a strong sixth place finish in Hockey East. They look to continue the building and development process.
With the exception of two forwards, the Huskies return completely intact. Jimmy Russo graduated and Chad Costello opted to forego the remainder of his collegiate eligibility to turn pro, signing with the Texas Wildcatters (ECHL). Offense may prove to be one of Northeastern's strengths this season. Seniors Joe Vitale (PIT) and Ryan Ginand lead a very good group of forwards. Vitale emerged as Northeastern's "Mr. Everything" last year, excelling both offensively and defensively. He more than doubled his point totals from his freshman and sophomore seasons combined as a junior. He led the Huskies in a number of categories last season, including points (35), goals (12), assists (23) and plus/minus (plus-5). Vitale's stellar junior campaign earned him a spot on the All-Hockey East Second team, and this season he will once again serve as team captain. Ginand blossomed into one of Northeastern's most reliable and versatile forwards last season. One area where he flourished was on the power play. Of the ten goals, Ginand scored, five came on the power play. He finished the year with 20 points and led the team with 142 shots.
Adding some depth upfront for Northeastern this season are five newcomers led by Steve Quailer. The 2008 third round selection (86th overall) of the Montreal Canadiens comes to Northeastern from Sioux City (USHL), where he had 52 points (20 goals, 32 assists) last season in 60 games. Quailer brings a very nice combination of size, power and great hands.
Between the returning forwards and a very good freshman class, Northeastern should be able to boost their offensive numbers this season. The Huskies ranked 39th in the nation last season in team offense, averaging 2.49 goals per game. Even worse, was their power play. Northeastern ranked 54th in the country on the man advantage, converting at a dismal 11.9 percent.
With no losses on the defensive side, Northeastern will look to try and improve the 2.84 average goals allowed of last season. Senior Louis Liotti and junior David Strathman lead the Huskies defensive corps. Liotti has developed into one of Northeastern's steadiest rearguards. He posted five points (one goal, four assists) along with a plus-3 last season. The fluid-skating Strathman led the team in defenseman scoring last season with 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) and was named the team's Most Improved Player at year's end.
Newcomer J.P.Maley is the lone freshman on the Huskies blueline this season. Maley comes to Northeastern after an injury-riddled season with Des Moines (USHL) last year.
It is difficult to talk about Northeastern's success in the last two years without mentioning junior Brad Thiessen. After a sensational rookie campaign two years ago, Thiessen went through some struggles in the second half of last season. Nevertheless, he still ranks among Hockey East's best netmiinders. Thiessen posted some very respectable numbers last season going 16-17-3 that included two shutouts. He also posted a .914 save percentage and 2.64 goals against average. This season, the team hopes to see Thiessen return to top form.
In what looked to be a very promising 2007-08 season for the Providence College Friars, it didn't end the way they had hoped. Injuries became a problem going down the stretch. Providence ended up finishing fifth in Hockey East before being ousted by Boston College in the conference quarterfinals. When the Friars open their 2008-09 season on Oct. 17 hosting Hockey East rival Northeastern at Schneider Arena, they'll look to continue to build on last season's accomplishments and to stay healthy as well.
Coming into this season, the Friars will have some significant holes to fill. And nowhere is that more evident than on their blueline. Trevor Ludwig and Marc Bastarache have graduated. Cody Wild opted to forego his senior season to sign with the Edmonton Oilers. Despite the three losses, however, Providence's defensive corps should be very good this season. Senior Matt Taormina and junior Mark Fayne (NJ) lead the defense. Taormina was Providence's best defenseman last year and returns this season as the team's top scorer. He finished second on the team with 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists). Taormina, an All-Hockey East Second team selection, also led the Friars with a plus-10. Fayne continues to be a dominating presence on the Friars blueline. The Sagamore Beach, MA native finished with six points (two goals, four assists) and was one of only three defensemen who played in all 36 games last season.
The Friars will welcome three to their defensive corps this season, including David Brown. The Centennial, CO native is coming off of a very solid year at Cloquet-Esko-Carlton (MN) high school, where he served as team captain and posted 36 points (18 goals, 18 assists).
Another hole to be filled on the Providence roster is the one left by Tyler Sims, who has graduated. Sims posted a 13-15-4 record that included three shutouts. The two returning netminders in sophomore Chris Mannix and junior Ryan Simpson combined to play in eight games last season. With the addition of newcomer Justin Gates, the starting job between the pipes for the Friars coming into this season remains up for grabs.
Where Providence looks to be their strongest coming into the 2008-09 campaign is upfront. The lone departure was that of top scorer Jon Rheault (PHI), who has graduated. The Deering, NH native posted 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists) to lead the Friars.
Providence returns a very good group of forwards led by senior Pierce Norton (TOR) and junior John Cavanagh. Norton enjoyed an outstanding junior season, posting 24 points (14 goals, 10 assists). Where he really made his mark was on the Friars power play. Of Norton's 14 goals, seven came on the man-advantage, leading the team in that category. Cavanagh emerged as one of Providence's top centermen last season. He finished the year with 18 points (five goals 13 assists). Cavanagh will also serve as one of the team's co-captains this season.
Joining the returning group upfront are five newcomers including winger Matt Bergland. The Fairbault, MN native is one of three freshmen coming to Providence this season from a Minnesota high school program. Bergland posted 70 points (38 goals, 32 assists) in helping to guide Benilde-St. Margaret's to a third place finish over 2007 Class AA champion Roseau.
Though they fell short of getting into the NCAA Tournament, the Vermont Catamounts made huge strides in Hockey East last season. They finished third in the conference and made it all the way to the Hockey East championship game. When they open their 2008-09 season on Oct. 11 versus RPI at the Pavilion de la Jeunesse in Quebec City, the Catamounts will look to build on last season's success.
Vermont lost few players in the offseason, but their most significant loss was in goal. Fallon and third-stringer Jeff Hill have both graduated. Junior Mike Spillane, who served as Fallon's backup last season, is the lone returning netminder. The Bow, NH native appeared in eight games last season posting a 2-2-2 record. Pushing Spillane this season will be a pair of newcomers in Rob Madore and John Vazzano. Madore comes to Vermont from Chicago (USHL), where he posted a 21-16-5 record that included one shutout last season. Vazzano comes to Vermont from Gunnery Prep, where he compiled a 19-3-8 record.
With the inexperience, a rock solid defense will be key in stabilizing Vermont's back end. The Catamounts should have no problem with that, even with losing Mark Lutz and Slavomir Tomko to graduation. While Vermont's blueline will be predominantly young, they certainly won't lack for experience. Junior Patrick Cullity and sophomore Kyle Medvec (MIN) are among the returning defensemen. Cullity posted two assists and led the team with 60 penalty minutes. Medvec saw action in 30 games, posting five points (one goal, four assists).
One area where the Catamounts will need to improve to be successful this season is their offensive production, including their power play. Vermont ranked 50th in the nation in team offense last year that averaged 2.26 goals per game. Equally dismal were their power play numbers, which ranked 51st in the nation with a 12.9 percent conversion rating. In order to begin to address the issue, Vermont will have to get scoring from some players other than their top line of seniors Dean Strong, Peter Lenes and Corey Carlson. The trio accounted for 33 percent of the team's entire offensive production last year. Strong, who will again serve as captain, led the Catamounts in scoring last season with 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists). Lenes co-led the team with 10 goals and finished with 22 points. Carlson also finished with 22 points.
In addition to the vast returning group upfront, Vermont welcomes two newcomers. The one to keep an eye on is lone freshman forward Matt Marshall (TB). The Hingham, MA native comes to Burlington after a terrific year at Nobles and Greenough prep school, where he amassed 51 points (25 goals, 26 assists) in 29 games last season. As Sneddon notes some much-needed scoring won't be the only thing that Marshall will bring to Vermont this season.

Q: Angular - race condition - multiple subscriptions at once I have a UserService which has a getUser method that returns an observable of type User class.
The getUser checks if the user already exists, if so, it returns the user, or else it creates a new user.
When creating a new user, it also does an API call to the 'roles' data for the user, the code looks as follows:
  public getUser(): Observable<User> {
    if (!UserService.user) {
      UserService.user = new User();

      return this.getGroups().pipe(
        map(response => {
          response.value.map(v => this.setRol(v));
          return UserService.user;
        }));
    }
    else {
      return of(UserService.user);
    }
  }

But there is a problem.
When I subscribe to this method from two different components, one will follow the path in the first if statement, and the second will return the created user in the else statement.
But the second returns the created user before the first subscription has finished the API call to get the roles (groups) the user belongs to. which gives me errors.
How can I fix this? And what is the best practice to fix this?

A: Caching with shareReplay(1)
RxJS makes a simple form of caching (like this) really easy

private userCache$ = this.getGroups().pipe(
  map(({value}) => {
    UserService.user = new User();
    value.map(v => this.setRol(v));
    return UserService.user;
  }),
  shareReplay(1)
);

public getUser(): Observable<User> {
  return userCache$;
}

Now this.getGroups() is only ever called the first time userCache$ is subscribed to. After that, every other call waits for the API call to finish and/or gets the cached result of that call.

A: I would set UserService.user = new User(); inside of the map to fix this issue.
  public getUser(): Observable<User> {
    if (!UserService.user) {
      // remove from here
      // UserService.user = new User();

      return this.getGroups().pipe(
        map(response => {
          // add here
          UserService.user = new User();
          response.value.map(v => this.setRol(v));
          return UserService.user;
        }));
    }
    else {
      return of(UserService.user);
    }
  }

This way UsesrService.user will be set only when the API call completes.

A: You have many options here,
The simplest would be to create your user inside map operator and improve the condition.
  public getUser(): Observable<User> {
    return !!UserService.user?.name // name or another property that we will help us understand that the user has initialized
    ? of(UserService.user)
    : this.getGroups().pipe(
        map(response => {
          UserService.user = new User();
          response.value.map(v => this.setRol(v));
          return UserService.user;
        }));
  }

PS: Usually is recommended when you have an if-else condition to start with the true part first.

A: When you call the getUser method, it first checks the values of UserService.user if it doesn't exist you call the API. However, when you inject the same service in two components it calls this method twice (we know that). So, when it is called second time you are assigning UserService.user with user instance and your else will always be called. The observer pattern is good to have and it really works well, angular also recommends it.
public getUser(): Observable<User> {

   return new Observable(observer => {
    if (!UserService.user.checkRolesExist()) {
     UserService.user = new User();
      return this.getGroups().pipe(
        map(response => {
          response.value.map(v => this.setRol(v));
          observer.next(UserService.user);
          observer.complete();
        }));
    } else {
          observer.next(UserService.user);
          observer.complete();
     }
   });
  }

Now, to check whether the user exist or not, create a method on User class that can get you if the roles exits or not, it is just a sample to guide you:
public checkRolesExist() {
   return UserService.user?.length > 0
}

No oil, no Internet
Online anywhere, anytime. Internet, web services and online communication have become an integral part of our life quality. Whether at home or on the road: All we have to do is open our Internet browser, and we are connected with the world. Not many people, however, know what role crude oil plays in this. Petrochemical products made by OMV are functional parts of the data cables bringing the Internet to our devices.
There are as many reasons for why petrochemistry will continue to grow, as there are applications: Our everyday life is unthinkable without plastics."
Bart Verheule
Marketing responsible for the Energy segment at Borealis
"There are as many reasons for why petrochemistry will continue to grow, as there are applications", says Bart Verheule. He is responsible for Energy marketing of plastics raw material manufacturer Borealis, in which OMV holds a 36 percent stake: Crude oil is all around us, all day long, but most obviously as the plastic in our tooth brush, the housing of our computer or in various parts of our car, to name just a few applications. And plastic also enables the Internet: It is integral part of the data cables bringing the Internet signals to our computers.
Borealis is an international leader for data cable coatings. The company purchases a major part of their required insulation materials from OMV. "From OMV refineries' ethylene and propylene we produce polyethylene and polypropylene. Both materials are used in a multitude of everyday products. In data cables they enable fast, efficient, high-bandwidth signal transmission", explains Bart Verheule.
No cable, no wireless
There is a rapidly growing demand for specialty plastics to produce cables. Today, approximately one million kilometers of data cables are sold worldwide every year. "Just look at how much our world has changed over the last 20 years: We shop online, we bank online, we work online. All the while, the number of people using landline computers and telephones is steadily decreasing. Considering our ever-growing mobility with smartphones, laptops or tablets, one could indeed come to the conclusion that soon we will not need data cables anymore. But that would be wrong: Data cables have a very important role to play: At Borealis we say: Wireless bits are bits looking for a data cable. No data cable, no wireless."
Data transmission, be it via Wi-Fi or fixed wiring, flows via data cables through fibre optic cables connected to data centres. The integrity of these data cables is critical for the data network's capability. We all know: The further away our mobile device is from the next hotspot, the more our connection slows down. We still use a data cable to plug our laptop directly into the Internet when we want a really fast connection – for example, to download large data volumes. Or take hospitals and air traffic control: For applications like these, data transmission must be absolutely failure-free, and you can only achieve this reliability with data cables.
More air makes a better signal
A modern data cable is engineered for optimal transport of large data volumes. A data cable consists of four twisted pairs of plastic insulated wire which combine to make a typical data cable. This enables it to transmit ultrafast signals.
The individual cables have to be insulated from each other, so they do not impair each other's function. Air is the most efficient insulator, and this is the reason why a lot of special Borealis expertise goes into packing as much air as possible into the plastic. "You can compare our foamed polyethylene to a polystyrene cup keeping your coffee warm. The better the polystyrene, the cooler the cup feels on the outside and the longer it keeps your coffee warm. It's the same with data cables: The more air you put in the insulation, the higher the signal strength", says Bart Verheule.
Smart homes will push the demand even further. Today, computers and phones are connected via data cables, perhaps even TVs. But in the future, washing machines, fridges, heating systems and lights, too, will be part of the data network. The networking trend is everywhere. And it's one of the reasons, why OMV has such a strong petrochemical focus.
Already today, OMV refineries can produce approximately 2.5 million tons of petrochemicals per year – more than 10 percent of OMV's total refined product sales. With an increasing tendency: Experts expect the market for petrochemicals to grow by two to three percent per year over the next decade – making it a very promising growth potential.

If you have seen the movie "Forrest Gump", you know the scene wherein Gary Senise as Lieutenant Dan gives his first orders to both Forrest and Bubba. He has only two, and one of them is simply to "take care of your feet." Small but rather important advice for the soldiers. And for actors.
Yet for the actor himself, shoes are of the utmost importance. And that would sound obvious, but as with most obvious things it is often overlooked. But believe it or not uncomfortable shoes can ruin a performance more than just about any other ill-fitting costume piece.
Our feet are very sensitive. More so, I would guess during a play because we often are standing or walking in ways that are ever so slightly unnatural compared to everyday life. Theatrical movement, even the subtle, nuanced kind, is different from movement off of the stage. It is bound to be.
And so performers should make every effort to incorporate their own private footwear into their costumes if possible. Talk to the director or costume designer about this, and bring in all the shoes you own during the night of the costume parade. If any of your own shoes will work with the costume, use them, without a doubt. In fact so important are comfortable shoes to me, that I am within a certain range willing to allow actors to wear their own shoes in a play, even if they technically are anachronistic.
I have been lucky in this regard. For the last eight years or so I have had a pair of black oxfords which I rarely wear any wear except on stage. So plain are they that they have fit into nearly every play I have been in during that time frame. They are only just now starting to show their age, but I am sure they have a few shows left in them.
If you can't manage to put your own shoes into a show, pester the costume person to let you try on appropriate shoes as early in the process as possible. Be persistent if you have to, but go out of your way to obtain your costume shoes as early as possible, so you can wear them during your scenes as early as possible. Even before you are off book, if you can.
Clothing may or may not make the man. But the wrong shoes can break a performance.

The recent bout of fantastic weather has given us all itchy feet for some sunshine-filled adventures, but with work and other commitments it can be tricky to take time off.
However, getting your regular dose of adventure doesn't have to eat into your annual leave as much as you'd think. There are dozens of weekend adventures you can take right here in the UK, from hiking and biking to white water rafting – our humble little isle has more to offer than you might have thought. And with the hot, dry weather set to continue for the time being, (fingers crossed!) there's no better excuse to get out and enjoy it while you can.
We've partnered up with Regatta to find some of the most incredible UK weekend adventures to be had, getting your outdoor fix while still making it back in time for work on Monday.
Explore the scenic coastline of Norfolk on this long-distance path that's easy on the knees and the eyes, with dramatic sweeping sea views and minimal elevation. The section from Hunstanton to Cromer Pier is a 39-mile hike, but you can easily base yourself in one place for the weekend and make use of the coasthopper bus to pick up where you left off. Do as much or as little hiking as you like with plenty of places to stop for an ice cream, pint, or dip in the ocean along the way.
The craggy coastline of Pembrokeshire is well-known for its fantastic coasteering, which will see you traversing rocky shorelines, exploring tidal caves and leaping from the top of cliffs as you find your way along this extreme terrain. The local area also offers a whole host of other adrenaline based activities to sweep you up in a weekend whirlwind of fun. Try the climbing, surfing or kayaking, or simply explore the coastline on foot in search of friendly seals.
Feeling hemmed in by city life? Get on your trusty bike and hit the open road with this fantastic 56-mile cycle ride bringing you direct to the happy seaside town of Brighton. Choose the scenic route along country lanes and challenge yourself to complete the ride in one day, allowing for a relaxing Sunday on the beach. Alternatively, split the ride into two more leisurely days and stop off along the way, hopping on the easy one-hour train back to London after a celebratory pint on reaching Brighton.
The Peak District is a great escape for many southerners with it being one of the most accessible areas for hiking. It's the perfect place for a weekend retreat in a cosy B&B, tackling some first rate rock climbing or sensational hiking trails. There's a rock face for everyone here, with climbing for complete beginners to the seriously advanced, so it's the perfect place to learn the ropes or increase your skill level.
This little island gem has it all: picture perfect beaches, endless scenic hiking trails and a huge array of adventurous activities, plus some excellent campsites or B&B style accommodation. Easily reached by ferry from London or by air from other areas of the UK, the Isle of Wight is an idyllic weekend destination. Cool down after a challenging hike with kitesurfing or wakeboarding for an adventure-packed short break.
The Malverns are perfectly placed for a picturesque weekend of hiking. The rolling countryside stretches for miles in all directions and all levels of walks are available. For the more advanced, why not take on the challenge of the Malvern Ridge, which is a relatively tough 10-mile hike (one way) with 969m of ascent gain, tackling the summit of each of the Malvern hills, including the aptly named Perseverance Hill.
Want to take your adventure up a notch? Wild camping is a fantastic way to channel your inner Bear Grylls. Check out Ram's Island, a little one-mile stretch of land located just off the east shore of the Britain's largest lake (by area), Lough Neagh – which is only a short drive from Belfast Airport). You must prearrange to camp there beforehand by organising your boat trip across from Sandy Bay, which is run by a local charity. Enjoy the true escapism of the surrounding lake as night settles, leaving just you and your tent to enjoy the stars.
Fort William is a fantastic choice for a weekend break, known to many as a hub for tourism and as the gateway to Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. You could tackle this infamous peak, or why not check out some of the world renowned mountain biking in the area? A gondola can whisk you up to the start of the trails, which are made up of timber boardwalks, rock gardens, jumps and gaps and have often been used for world championships.
Find accommodation in Betws-y-Coed for the weekend and you'll be well placed to explore Snowdonia National Park. Hiking in this incredible area is a fantastic way to blow away the cobwebs after a long, stressful week. If you have enough time, check out Ffos Noddun, or 'Fairy Glen' as it is affectionately known, for a dip in a mystical gorge and a short walk for a glimpse of some majestic waterfalls.
Head to the Honister Slate Mine in the Lake District for a taste of via ferrata, a climbing route using metal rungs and cables drilled into the rock face enabling you to tackle otherwise inaccessible ground. Test yourself with the Via Ferrata Extreme experience that also incorporates zip lines between vertical cliff faces. There's plenty of sensational hiking trails in the region to keep you going all weekend too.

State Processes
From then to now!
According to UW Health, the loss of safe and legal abortion is primarily felt by marginalized populations. In 2019, 28% of Wisconsin abortions were provided to Black women. The overturning of Roe v. Wade that immediately made abortion illegal in Wisconsin is an attack on our community. However, abortions remain legal and accessible in surrounding states like Illinois and Minnesota. Here's what you need to know.
In 1973, the US Supreme Court made access to abortion a constitutional right in many instances and any laws of the criminal penalties from 1849 were unenforceable. Research shows people who are denied abortions are more likely to experience higher levels of anxiety, lower life satisfaction, and lower self-esteem compared with those who are able to obtain abortions. In a landmark study of more than 1,000 women across 21 states, those who were allowed to obtain an abortion were no more likely to report negative emotions, mental health symptoms, or suicidal thoughts than women who were denied an abortion. Women who proceeded with an unwanted pregnancy also subsequently had more physical health problems, including two who died from childbirth complications.
In Wisconsin, the state's 173-year-old abortion ban is once again the law, making the procedure illegal unless deemed 'medically necessary' to save the patient's life. Providing an abortion is now a felony punishable by up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
It's unclear whether or not certain forms of birth control will be outlawed. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has said he does not want to outlaw condoms or birth control but is open to the idea of restricting emergency contraception. Vos said he supports passing legislation that would create new exceptions to the state ban for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

No error messages in Thunderbird for SSL/TLS protocol failures
Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 05:01 PM
Starting With Mozilla Thunderbird 10 and newer (and up to at least Thunderbird 17), SSL/TLS protocol failures are no longer user discoverable.
In Mozilla Thunderbird 9 and earlier, if the SSL/TLS protocol handshake with a server resulted in a fatal failure, an error prompt was shown that notified the user about the failure. With Thunderbird 10 and newer, no feedback will be shown, and the user cannot know whether the failure is on the client side or on the failure side, and what exactly causes the problem. With Thunderbird 17, you can at least find the error message hidden in the "error console" that can be opened from the menu (hidden between all the other frequent messages that are dumped to that place).
One example scenario where you'd run into this silent failing is a typical enterprise configuration, where the server requires the client to authenticate with a client certificate. If the client certificate is not accepted by the server, or no such cert hat been installed yet, then Thunderbird will fail silently. (There are additional SSL/TLS protocol failure scenarios where you'll get the same silent failing.)
The reason for this regression is that error reporting was removed, instead of working on a smarter solution for Bug 682329 . All proposals that would have kept the error reporting in Thunderbird working and that could have been implemented by me with a reasonable amount of work were rejected.
In case you'd like to test the regression yourself, you can follow the steps below.
Use Thunderbird to configure an additional email account. When asked by Thunderbird 17 choose existing account.
- Username: test
- email: test@ssltls.de
- password: test (it's wrong, but it doesn't matter)
- check "remember password"
- click continue
- click "manual config"
- Select IMAP
- hostname ssltls.de (NO leading dot as proposed, in other words, NOT .ssltls.de)
- port 993
- SSL/TLS
- auth: normal password
SMTP configuration doesn't matter, you won't be able to send email through this configuration, but in order to allow you to complete the configuration:
- SMTP
- hostname: ssltls.de
With thunderbird 17, the test fails, click "advanced config", and in the next dialog click ok.
You'll now see the standard Thunderbird window, and you should have the test account configured. Click on the inbox. Your statusbar (lower part of the window) might show "connected to ssltls" but that's all you'll ever get with Thunderbird 10 and newer, even if you click the "get mail" toolbar button. You might eventually, much later, see a "connection timed out" notification popup, but that's incorrect, and it's not helpful in diagnosing the cause of the problem.
If you do the above with Thunderbird 9 and earlier, you'll get
"An error occurred during a connection to ssltls.de, SSL peer was unable to negotiate an acceptable set of security parameters. ssl_error_handshake_failure_alert"
With Thunderbird 17, this message can be found in the error console.

Congratulations to Professor Anna Wilke for being awarded a McDonnell Academy seed grant for her research titled, "How does girls' empowerment affect boys? Two field experiments on cross-gender spillover effects of public health campaigns"!
Policymakers spend millions of dollars on behavior change campaigns to address public health issues in developing countries. While research suggests such campaigns can be effective, little is known about their potential to generate spillover effects outside the campaigns' direct audience. This research team conducts two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the impact of a multi-media social marketing program on attitudes and behaviors related to tobacco usage, HIV prevalence, gender empowerment and financial decision-making among teenagers in Kenya and Nigeria. They study the effects of this campaign on teenage girls who are directly exposed to it and on their social networks. With this seed grant support, they will assess cross-gender spillovers from this campaign, which targets girls, on teenage boys in the same school. Doing so will shed light on whether the effects of female-focused public health campaigns can diffuse across genders and how such effects are conditioned by gender norms.

Pirates and Policy
Dave Killion — October 9, 2010
Although the Victoria Libertarian Book Club has been working its way through "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", I must confess to seeing another book on the side. Peter Leeson has produced a fun piece called "The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates", within which he examines the challenges faced by pirates in their pursuit of profit, and the mechanisms they developed to overcome those challenges. I have been particularly struck with the two chief means of minimizing conflict within the group: democracy and constitutions.
According to Leeson, each ship had a constitution which outlined such things as the division of plunder, code of conduct, and the manner in which officers were to be selected, and anyone who wished to be on the crew had to agree voluntarily to abide by the constitution. Constitutions typically permitted officers to be elected by a simple majority, and an election could be held at any time.
I find this striking. Because the constitution required 100% approval, it didn't matter very much whom was the captain. The captain was bound by rules that everyone knew, and to which everyone agreed. The rules were more important than the elected officials. I think a great many of our problems arise from being forced to obey governments 'bound' by constitutions we don't understand, much less agree with.
Economics, Ethics
CodeSlinger says
Now that is interesting. Even more so when you consider that pirates often sailed under the skull and crossbones (the "Jolly Roger"), which just happened to be the maritime battle flag of the Knights Templar. Not only that, but Columbus sailed under a red cross pattee on a field of white, which just happened to be the peacetime flag of… the Knights Templar. Now widen the field of view to bring into focus the Templar roots of Freemasonry and the Masonic roots of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America.
And suddenly the connection between pirates and constitutions doesn't seem quite so surprising…
David C says
"Where the law is subject to some other authority and has none of its own, the collapse of the state, in my view, is not far off; but if law is the master of the government and the government is its slave, then the situation is full of promise and men enjoy all the blessings that the gods shower on a state." – Plato

Is Apple TV+ Worth It?
The hype, unpacked.
By: Bibi Deitz
Styling: Meagan Wilson
Photography: Jake Rosenberg
In the next six months or so, we'll have five major new streaming services to choose from, adding to the already cluttered landscape that was launched by Netflix, the service that sparked a thousand competitors. We've already said hello to one of them: Apple TV+ launched last Friday, the first of the new kids on the block.
First, the bad news: The Morning Show, one of the new service's marquee shows, has not gotten a positive reception. The even worse news: Neither has See, another big offering from Apple TV+.
"After three episodes, this tech company's first venture into TV is good only at appearing to be good," the Times wrote of The Morning Show. "It's like something assembled in a clean room out of good-show parts from incompatible suppliers. Under the gleaming surface, as sleek and anodyne as an Apple Store, it is a kludge." OK, then!
Let's see how See fared. "Apple TV+'s new Jason Momoa drama about a world without sight has interesting elements, but not enough depth or vision," the Hollywood Reporter said. "Now that Game of Thrones is over, what will fill the void? Definitely not See, a vapid, glacially paced attempt to woo fantasy fans in search of a new world to invest in," Vox reported. Guess that one isn't a win either.
Since the shows are the draw, if they're sub-par, why would you subscribe? For starters, if you buy a new Apple gadget, the company throws in a free subscription to Apple TV+ for a year, so hey, if it's free, why not? And if you simply cannot quell your curiosity, you can check it out for yourself for the price of a latte—a subscription costs just $4.99 a month.
Never fear, though: Options abound on the horizon. Disney+ launches November 12, and Peacock comes in April 2020, with HBO Plus trailing close behind in May 2020 and Discovery's service at an as-yet undetermined time next year. In other words, if you thought your choices (and your wallet) were already pushed to the limit, you haven't seen anything yet. Soon your options will be nearly endless—but is that a good thing?
Once upon a time, the focus was on quality, not necessarily quantity. But in an era that rewards sheer numbers and a time in which people tend to reach for more distraction, not less, we're going to see a lot more content thrown at us, but it won't all be that great. As The New York Times reported in July, streaming services are entering into an arms race with each other—and the best woman may not be the victor, since emphasis will be placed on straight-up hours of TV, as opposed to excellence. We'll, uh, stay tuned.
