These look really nice and seem to be holding up quite well but there is a crease going down each and everyone of my batts after rewraping them. Not sure what the issue with these wraps on the Samsung 30Q is but, I did not have the issue at all using the clear 21700 wraps on the Samsung 40T.
Great , as described and wasn't shrunk in shipment , like Amazon!
I bought this to rewrap batteries as needed in the future due to damage etc. the wrap is a good material and the order arrived with a quickness. I'll get back to y'all when I can share how the product holds up further down the road.

Q: Itens do listview perdendo cor quando usa a barra de rolagem Estou utilizando baseAdapter:
@Override
public View getView(int posicao, View convertview, ViewGroup parent) {

    View view = convertview;
    ViewHolder holder = null;

    if (view == null) {
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.itens_lista, parent, false);
        holder.itemNome = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.itemNome);
        holder.itemEndereco = (TextView) view
                .findViewById(R.id.itemEndereco);
        view.setTag(holder);

    } else {

        holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();

    }

    Telefone item = getItem(posicao);
    holder.itemNome.setText(item.getNome());
    holder.itemEndereco.setText(item.getTelefone());
    return view;
}

Mas os itens ficam "bugados":

*

*Quando seleciono um item fica com cor de fundo vermelha, depois realizo uma rolagem e a cor desaparece voltando para o original, pois estou usando viewHolder e a view é "reciclada ou reutilizada";

*Tem itens que ficam com cor de fundo vermelha sem ser o item selecionado.

A: Amigo, é o seguinte:
Toda vez que você rola um ListView, os itens que "somem" para cima ou para baixo são destruídos.
Então, quando são recriados novamente, voltam ao estado original, sem a sua customização.
O que você pode fazer é criar um adapter e setar esse estado, como no exemplo abaixo:
public class MySimpleArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {
  private final Context context;
  private final Item[] values;

  public MySimpleArrayAdapter(Context context, Item[] values) {
    super(context, R.layout.your_row_layout, values);
    this.context = context;
    this.values = values;
  }

  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context  .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_row_layout, parent, false);

     TextView itemNome= (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.itemNome);
     TextView itemEndereco= (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.itemEndereco);
     CheckBox check = (CheckBox)rowView.findViewById(R.id.check);

     Item item = getItem(position);

     itemNome.setText(item.getNome());
     itemEndereco.setText(item.getEndereco());

     if(check.isChecked()){

      rowView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
}
else{

     rowView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

}

    return rowView;
  }
}

O código acima é só um exemplo.
Mas espero que o que realmente tenha entendido é que os itens são destrídos ao rolar e reconstruídos quando são visualizados, voltando ao estado original.
Sobre o erro que dá quando rola até mais embaixo, no adapter, você poderá colocar um breackpoint e debugar.
Vi que está utilizando o padrão ViewHolder, então atente-se apenas para esse fato, da reciclagem.

A: Depois de muito penar consegui, vlw pela ajuda @Wakim e @Cícero Moura:
@Override
public View getView(int posicao, View convertview, ViewGroup parent) {

    View view = convertview;
    ViewHolder holder = null;

    if (view == null) {
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.itens_lista, parent, false);
        holder.itemNome = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.itemNome);
        holder.itemEndereco = (TextView) view
                .findViewById(R.id.itemEndereco);
        view.setTag(holder);

    } else {

        holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }

    if (listener.getPosicao() == posicao
            && listener.statusSelecao()) {
        holder.itemNome.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
        holder.itemEndereco.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
    }
        else {
            holder.itemNome.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(65, 105, 225));
            holder.itemEndereco.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(65, 105, 225));
    }

    Telefone item = getItem(posicao);
    holder.itemNome.setText(item.getNome());
    holder.itemEndereco.setText(item.getTelefone());
    return view;
}

A: Tente usar o setCacheColorHint
Ex:
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.hinario_left_drawer);
mDrawerList.setCacheColorHint(Color.parseColor("#669966"));

Kesha takes the 'High Road' with her latest album
Kesha is back, y'all! Her latest album 'High Road' is a fist-pumping, electro-pop celebration of all things that make Kesha, well… Kesha! From the upbeat 'Raising Hell' to the melanchony 'Shadow', there's a little splash of something on this album for everyone. Join me on my road trip with the pop star as we embark on the 'High Road'. The album opens up with 'Tonight', and, uh, I wasn't exactly thrilled by it. While it opens with powerful vocals from Kesha, it quickly drops into a trap-beat chorus where the pop star repeats "bitch we […]

Lady Gaga's leaked track: 'Stupid Love'
Monsters, LG6 is almost here! If you ask me, the era begins today. Right here, right now. After waiting for three-and-a-bit years for new music (I'm not gonna count 'A Star Is Born' because I want to be dramatic, okay, let me have my moment!), we've got our first taste of Lady Gaga's sixth album, and it sounds a little bit like 'Stupid Love'. And oh boy, let me tell you: it's some disco-infused, pop-based heaven. I'm in love. Stupid love. Yes, I confess, I listened to the leaks (forgive me, Gaga – it's been […]

King Calaway deserve a crown for their debut album 'Rivers'
King Calaway are something special. Really. From crafting a debut album that most intrepid, fresh-faced artists could only dream of, to singing the album in one take, there's no denying that King Calaway are going to soar. The six-man band – with no lead singer, they all share the limelight – are set to release their first album 'Rivers' in the UK in March this year, and it's something to behold… Opening up with the raucous 'No Matter What', 'Rivers' begins with a fist-pounding, anthemic track that just begs to be played through booming arena […]

Taylor Swift captures a piece of festive magic with 'Christmas Tree Farm' (Song Review)
Us Swifties are blessed. No, really. In the space of a year we've had a heartfelt album, three sick music videos, a feisty AMAs performance and a smooth tune from the upcoming 'Cats' movie. But we're not done yet. Taylor's the gift that keeps on giving. With the decade rapidly coming to a close, the country-turned-pop star has blessed us with a cozy little Christmas tune. And it's making me feel hella festive. 'Christmas Tree Farm' opens with a dramatic string arrangement, with Taylor's old-school vocals showing a different side to her that we've never […]

Karolina Rose's 'Objection' is a sultry, alluring cover tinged with darkness (Song Review)
Taking a go at covering Shakira is no small feat. Attempting to cover 'Objection', a deep-cut classic is downright risky. But that's what Karolina Rose seemingly does best: dances with danger. Her version of 'Objection' is sultry and alluring: dressed with rose-gold vibes of modern pop – a noir-coated visage of music. It's tinged with darkness, as opposed to Shakira's original lighter, Tango-infused track; but it isn't darkness of a heavy, stifling kind. Instead, Karolina takes Sharkia's lyrics and splashes a little bit of the night's sky over them – but even in the darkest […]

'Need You' makes us want to be more than JST FRNDS (Review)
Reminiscent of The Chainsmokers meets Halsey (wait… that actually happened), JST FRNDS perfectly capture what listeners are looking for in a good pop song, without selling out who they are as a brand. 'Need You' is one of those tracks that is a true ear-worm, the infectious chorus wiggles its way into you mind so that you're singing it for the remainder of the day, attempting to hum the electronic beat along with the poignant hook of the track. Contrary to most catchy pop songs, though, this one doesn't get tiresome. You'll find yourself hitting repeat […]

Trudeau said the federal government supports the pipeline because it will produce high-paying jobs and would enable Canadian oil to be exported to markets outside of the domestic and US markets. The aim is to get rid of the uncertainty surrounding the company's proposed pipeline expansion project.
Trudeau also said legislation is coming that will "reassert and reinforce" the fact that the federal government is well within its power to approve the project and ensure it goes ahead.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau was in on the discussions along with Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr.
"What he is ignoring is that we are the uncertainty", said Will George, an organizer with Protect the Inlet from Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, in a press release Sunday.
Kinder Morgan announced last week it has suspended non-essential activities and related spending on the project, and set a deadline of May 31 for the provincial and federal governments to resolve the myriad legal and political issues barring it from proceeding.
"Unfortunately, over the course of nearly a year, they have not specifically put forward proposals on how they would like to see us improve the oceans protection plan", said Trudeau.
The Independent Contractors and Businesses Association meanwhile insisted: "Premier Horgan is effectively ripping up a contract which Kinder Morgan negotiated in good faith with the federal and provincial governments of the day", said ICBA president Chris Gardner.
"What the government of British Columbia is doing undermines the national interest, divides the country, thwarts the rule of law and severely undercuts our ability to attract sorely needed investment to Canada", he said.
While Horgan also said the conversation was "frank", he was less enthused with the outcome.
The project - which would triple the pipeline's capacity to carry Alberta's oil sands to port in Vancouver - is fiercely opposed by British Columbia's government, ecologists and indigenous groups who warn of a possible environmental disaster in the event of a leak.
That will be filed in the coming days.
"The approval process for this pipeline. featured the most extensive consultation with Indigenous communities across this country that we've ever seen", he said.
Beatty said the Trudeau government should introduce a motion in the House of Commons that would seek "an affirmation by all members of Parliament that this project is in the national interest, and that the federal government is instructed to take any appropriate measures to ensure that the project moves ahead without further delay".
Horgan is not the only vocal opponent of the project, however.
His comments were met with strong contempt from the environmentalists and First Nations who have come together to protest the pipeline expansion.
This week, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde also said First Nations are being "left out" of the Kinder Morgan discussion.
"Those efforts have been made in the past to simply dismiss and override the concerns of British Columbians, and certainly the concerns of Indigenous peoples", said Phillip.
He said the meeting and the Prime Minister's remarks afterward were an opportunity to spell out what the next actions will be.
He said the government was working with a different approach on the 115 backward districts, which are lebelled as "aspirational and ambitious districts".
A little over a year after that speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln, the number of USA troops killed in Iraq reached 1,000. They had a sign that said 'Mission Accomplished, ' he told CNN in 2008. "They were proud of what they had done".
But Boris Johnson , the Foreign Secretary , poured scorn on calls for a referendum on the exit deal. Another one of those attending was Green Party MP and co-leader Caroline Lucas.
This will also likely lead to a reduction in fake news and other information that has been challenging for people to deal with. That included everything folks had on their Facebook pages, possibly including private direct messages between users.
For weeks it has been a case of when, rather than if, City win the title and it is nearly certain to happen within the next week. Guardiola's switch paid dividends, in that it secured victory and left his team within one win of the Premier League title.
Moscow condemned the Western states for refusing to wait for OPCW's findings before attacking. The Pentagon said it gave no explicit warning.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman has criticised Donald Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Iran has been a key backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, sending Shi'ite militias to fight alongside government forces.
The US "specifically identified" targets to "mitigate the risk of Russian forces being involved", Dunford said. The ministry also pointed at previous use of chemicals by rebels in fighting with Syrian government troops.
Local resident Jordan Dodin climbs onto a roof to protect the house from fire in Wattle Grove on Saturday night. Many residents in Menai made a decision to remain at their homes and were kept busy fighting ember attacks.
He noted that Moscow so far has heeded Western requests not to provide the missiles to Damascus , but said it may now reconsider. French Minister for the Armed Forces Florence Parly said all French aircraft had returned safely from their mission.
The incident forced competition to be suspended at the nearby Margaret River Pro, but the action resumed a short time ago. Surf photographer Peter Jovic told the ABC news he had witnessed the attack. "There was a lot more thrashing around".
It added that hundreds of mortars had been fired by Pakistani forces on another Afghan province of Kunar since early April. In Islamabad, Foreign Office officials were in contact with the Afghan embassy to explore ways to defuse the tension.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Warns U.S. Against Putting Missiles in Europe
Posted 4:32 AM, February 20, 2019, by Associated Press

Russian President Vladimir Putin sternly warned the United States against deploying new missiles in Europe, saying Wednesday that Russia will retaliate by fielding new weapons that will take just as little time to reach their targets.
While the Russian leader didn't say what specific new weapons Moscow could deploy, his statement further raised the ante in tense relations with Washington.
Speaking in his state-of-the-nation address, Putin charged that the U.S. has abandoned a key arms control pact to free up its hands to build new missiles and tried to shift the blame for the move to Russia.
"Our American partners should have honestly said it instead of making unfounded accusations against Russia to justify their withdrawal from the treaty," Putin said.
The U.S. has accused Russia of breaching the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty by deploying a cruise missile that violates its limits — the accusations Moscow has rejected.
The INF treaty banned production, testing and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers (310 to 3,410 miles).
The intermediate-range weapons were seen as particularly destabilizing as they take shorter time to reach their targets compared to the intercontinental ballistic missiles. That would leave practically no time for decision-makers, raising the likelihood of a global nuclear conflict over a false launch warning.
Putin reaffirmed that Russia will not be the first to deploy new intermediate-range missiles but warned of a quick retaliation if the U.S. puts such weapons in Europe.
"They will only take 10-12 minutes to reach Moscow," he said. "It's a very serious threat to us, and we will have to respond."
He didn't directly mention the U.S., but noted that the Russian response will be "asymmetrical" and involve new weapons will reach the enemy's decision-making centers just as quickly.
"Russia will be forced to create and deploy new types of weapons that could be used not only against the territories where a direct threat to us comes from, but also against the territories where decision-making centers directing the use of missile systems threatening us are located," he said. "The capability of such weapons, including the time to reach those centers, will be equivalent to the threats against Russia."
The president didn't specify which of the prospective Russian weapons will do the job, but he reported a quick progress on an array of new weapons presented a year ago.
The Russian leader said the first batch of Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles will be deployed this year.
He added that the tests of the new Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile, the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile and the Poseidon nuclear-powered underwater drone have been progressing successfully.
Putin said the first submarine equipped to carry the Poseidon will be commissioned later this year.
He also announced the coming deployment of the new Zircon hypersonic missile for the Russian navy, saying it's capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and will have a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles).
He said the Zircon program will not be too costly as the missile has been designed to equip Russia's existing surface ships and submarines.
Putin urged U.S. officials to take into account the "range and speed of our prospective weapons" before making decisions that will threaten Russia.
While issuing a tough warning to the U.S., Putin also claimed that Russia still wants friendly relations with Washington and remains open for arms control talks.
"We don't want confrontation, particularly with such a global power as the U.S.," he said.
At the same time, he criticized what he described as "destructive" U.S. policy of targeting Russia with sanctions.
Russia's relations with the U.S. have sunk to post-Cold War lows over Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, its support for the Syrian government in the war in Syria and the allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The menacing talk about new weapons and the tough warnings aimed at the U.S. followed a speech that mostly focused on domestic issues.
Putin promised Russians that he would raise welfare payments, improve education and the struggling health care system and remove toxic dump sites from cities. Similar goals have been set before, but the progress has been slow as Russia has been buffeted by economic shocks caused by a drop in oil prices and Western sanctions.

What are the odds? And where are the Chinese?
We've been waiting with bated breath for the odds makers to get active. After all, free-market thinkers tell us that the market always has the best outcomes and sets the right prices. So surely speculation on this blog, and elsewhere in the media, will be wrong and the market will be right. Finally, yesterday, Paddy Power, an Irish bookmaker (betting site), answered the call. Of course they weren't the only ones; John Cassidy of the New Yorker made up his own odds last weekend. But Paddy Power, with odds set by the frequency of bets, should give us the pulse of the market. Will they be right?

Omar Abdullah threatens to sue Chhattisgarh CM
Jul 21, 2020 Bhupesh Baghel, Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister, Jammu And Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, Sachin Pilot
As the political drama in Rajasthan continues to unfurl, National Conference leader and Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah found himself in the midst of a political tug-of-war with Congress leader and incumbent Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel .
The controversy began after Bhupesh Baghel, in his interview to a leading Indian newspaper, hinted at a BJP-Pilot link to Omar Abdullah and his father Farooq Abdullah's release from detention in Kashmir.
Bhagel pointed out that while Mehbooba Mufti, Omar & Farooq Abdullah were all booked under provisions of same law, only the Abdullahs were released from detention.
In his interview, Baghel said, "As far as Sachin Pilot is concerned, not that I have been tracking the Rajasthan events so closely, but it does make one curious why Omar Abdullah was released. He and Mehbooba Muftiji were booked under the same Sections of the law, while she is still languishing, he is out. Is it because Mr. Abdullah is brother-in-law of Sachin Pilot"
The NC leader slammed Bhupesh Baghel and labelled his comments as 'downright malicious & false'. While claiming that he has 'had enough', Omar informed Baghel that he would 'be hearing from my lawyers'.
I am fed up of the downright malicious and false allegation that what Sachin Pilot is doing is somehow linked to my or my father's release from detention earlier this year. Enough is enough. Mr @bhupeshbaghel will be hearing from my lawyers. Cc @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @rssurjewala https://t.co/Gojb7vN1V3
— Omar Abdullah (@OmarAbdullah) July 20, 2020
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, however, did not take this lying down. While accusing Omar of turning the 'tragic demise of democracy into an opportune moment', Baghel vowed to continue with his questioning.
Please do not try to turn this tragic demise of democracy into an opportune moment @OmarAbdullah ji.
The 'allegation' was only a question asked, and we will keep asking it, as will the country. https://t.co/VCavNt1BXM
— Bhupesh Baghel (@bhupeshbaghel) July 20, 2020
The political slugfest did not end there, Omar then took a jibe at the Congress leader, reminding him of his party's failure in clear judgement.
You can send your answer to my lawyers. This is what is wrong with the @INCIndia today, you don't know your friends from your opponents. This is why you people are in the mess you are in. Your "question" was malicious & will not go uncontested. https://t.co/abgijaSDyW
The war of words then manifested into a political war after National Congress slammed Baghel for political posturing, the statement issued by the party says, "It is within the province of public knowledge that the release of Mr Omar Abdullah happened after judicial intervention was sought from the Supreme Court and the illegal order of detention of Mr Abdullah was challenged"
In August 2019, Kashmiri Political leaders were detained by the administration under the provisions of Public Safety Act after article 370 was abrogated by the Centre.
While Farooq was released on March 13th, his son Omar was released days later on March 24th.


Performance ratings provided by managers on goals and competencies are important data points in HR and leadership decision making. Performance ratings have consequences. These data points not only have an impact on compensation but are considered in promotion decisions, succession planning and the allocation of developmental resources. Inaccuracy and inconsistency can lead to legal actions and can have a significant negative impact on employee engagement, retention and overall performance. As a result, making sure performance ratings are fair and accurate is critically important.
The practice of performance calibration refers to the steps taken to make sure that managers apply an appropriate and consistent set of standards in making performance ratings. As I wrote in a previous article, 6 Steps for Conducting Performance Calibration Meetings, the use of the performance calibration process has increased over recent years. Performance calibration meetings provide a forum for discussing the individual performance of team members with the goal of making sure that managers apply similar standards across all employees.
As outlined in the article, performance data should be examined prior to performance calibration meetings. The trends and themes identified through data analysis build the foundation for successful discussions.
1. Review the aggregate distributions of ratings for departments/functions.
Some groups may have experienced a great deal of change or taken on a number of new employees.
A group or function with higher or lower ratings may reflect the actual performance of the group or it may reflect the expectations placed upon them by the business unit leader. Managers may align the ratings that they provide with a prescribed distribution set forth by the business unit leader that is not in line with other business units. These are important points for discussion during performance calibration meetings.
2. Compare the ratings given by individual managers.
Again, performance calibration meetings offer an opportunity to discuss these inconsistent patterns and educate all managers on the standards of performance that should be used in making ratings. The process helps to ensure that all employees are evaluated on the same criteria – no matter to whom they report. These meetings also provide an opportunity for managers to learn how they can increase their ability to observe performance and apply performance standards.
3. Look for individual outliers.
Lastly, it is important to examine performance ratings to identify employees with particularly high or low ratings. If possible, seek to verify the performance of these individuals. If ratings do not align with objective performance, the ratings could be the result of the confirmation bias, and/or of halo/horns errors that are often made my inexperienced managers.
As stated above, poor skills in evaluating performance or those who do not understand the standards and rating scale may provide individuals with inaccurate ratings.The discussions that take place during productive performance calibration meetings can go a long way in helping individuals surface their biases and identify the steps that they need to take to improve their ability to make accurate ratings.
Performance Management software makes preparing for performance calibration meetings easy. The reporting tools offered by software solutions like viaPeople provide you with the ability to view aggregate data and surface issues with the click of a mouse. Your focus should be on identifying potential issues versus compiling information at this critical time of the performance evaluation process.
Please share your thoughts and comments on your experience in preparing for performance calibration meetings!

How a Musician's Unsuccessful Discrimination Lawsuit May Help Your California Discrimination Case
March 29, 2019 | by Stephen M. Fuerch
Sometimes, even others' unsuccessful discrimination actions can provide very helpful knowledge for those workers who follow. For example, a musician recently lost his age and disability discrimination lawsuit against his employer. However, the musician lost his case because of a very narrow free speech exception that protected his employer. The rest of his case, however, offered many of the pieces one might need in a discrimination complaint. When it comes to getting the most out of the rulings that precede your case, whether those workers won or lost, be sure you have an experience Oakland employment attorney who can provide you with up-to-date knowledge of the law.
The case involved G.S., a drummer in a rock-n-roll singer's band. Although the singer had not scored a top-40 record or album since 1991, he and the band continued performing live concerts throughout the 2010s. Immediately after each concert, the drummer staffed a booth that sold t-shirts, CDs and other souvenirs.
In 2015, the singer laid off the drummer. The drummer was 61, had suffered a back injury and also was a cancer survivor, a condition which caused him to have incontinence. The singer sometimes referred to the drummer on stage as "Chemo the Drummer" and stated jokingly that the concert tour was sponsored by a brand of adult diapers used by people with incontinence.
The drummer's case contained several of the required elements that an employee needs in order to be successful in an age discrimination lawsuit. He alleged that he was over 40, that he was harmed by an adverse employment action (termination) and that the employer (the singer) took the action because of the employee's age. On that last point, it helps if you have proof that you were replaced by someone who was younger than you but lacked your level of qualification for the position. In the drummer's case, he made assertions that the singer replaced him with a drummer who was younger but was less skilled than G.S.
There are other things that allegedly happened to this drummer that can help bolster an age discrimination case. Evidence of verbal disparagement or being publicly humiliated by your employer can be powerful evidentiary tools in your case. G.S.'s assertions about the "Chemo the Drummer" and "sponsored by Depends" comments are the sort of things that might help many employees.
The importance of the interactive process
Another important key piece of proof can be an employer's failure to engage in an interactive process when an employee with a disability requests an accommodation. In the drummer's case, he allegedly asked for extra time to change out of his soiled adult diaper after the concert and before working in the merchandise booth, but the signer refused to engage in the interactive process.
G.S. lost his case, but he lost for a very specific and narrow reason. Although having not had a hit song or album in more than 25 years, the singer remained a relatively popular and well-known figure in the rock-n-roll music world. As a result, the Court of Appeal ruled that the singer's music was a matter of public interest and, because of that, the choices he made regarding the members of his band were something that "both advances and assists the performance of the music," which made it covered by the singer's right to free speech.
So, even though this employee lost, this case is potentially very helpful. Why? Because, in reality, most people who are fired from their jobs as a result of age and disability discrimination are not employed by famous rock-n-roll singers. As a result, when most of us are harmed by age discrimination or disability discrimination at work, our employers' hiring decisions are not matters of public interest and our employers are not covered by this narrow slice of free-speech protection. If you've been harmed the way this drummer allegedly was, you'd probably stand a much higher chance of success in court.
If you have been the victim of age or disability discrimination, defend your rights. Reach out to the Oakland employment attorneys at the Law Offices of Stephen M. Fuerch. We have helped many workers who have been harmed by discriminatory terminations.

Flat Sales At Getty
494 FLAT SALES AT GETTY
Getty Images Inc. posted a profit for the second consecutive quarter, but sales dipped 2.2% to
$113.3 million when compared with sales a year ago. The first quarter marked Getty's first
profitable quarter since its founding in 1997.
Getty said its net profit for the second quarter was $4.5 million, or 8 cents per share,
compared with a net loss of $23.7 million, or 46 cents a share one year ago.
Second quarter sales were below the $116.3 million that analysts polled by Thompson First Call
had been expecting. Concerns over declining revenues led to a drop in Getty's stock price late
in June.
CEO, Jonathan Klein told analysts that the 2nd Quarter results were a further demonstration of
the strength of the Getty Images business model. "Not withstanding the turmoil in the financial
markets and the very difficult environment in which many of our customers still find
themselves, our business is in the best shape it has ever been," Klein said.
In speaking of the current sales climate Klein said, "Our customers will not accelerate
marketing and communications spend unless and until they feel more confident in the outlook for
their own businesses. In these uncertain times every business is keeping a tight reign on
marketing spend."
He referred to a recent article in Advertising Age that quoted several advertising industry
executives who stated that a recovery in marketing and communications spend will lag an
economic recovery because "Corporations are reluctant to commit to spend until they get more
visibility into the outlook for their own earnings and into the economic cycle."
Klein also pointed that sales of magazine advertising pages is not necessarily a good barometer
of stock images sales. Getty Images earns twice as much revenue from RM sales for brochure and
direct mail uses as they earn from the use of RM images in print advertising. The number of
magazine ads published has no bearing whatsoever on the number of images that will be used in
brochures and direct mail.
In speaking of market share Klein said, "We are absolutely certain that we gained share during
a period when the market for stock photography contracted against both the 2nd Quarter of last
year and the 1st Quarter of this year. We can not point to 3rd party data to prove this fact.
It is simply not publicly available, but I would like to draw your attention to a number of
data points. We know that the competition is struggling.
A major competitor of ours has effectively withdrawn from the U.S. market after a
major ramp up in the last couple of years.
One of the United Kingdom's largest stock photography businesses, Pictor, ceased
Another competitor, also in the U.S., is struggling in meeting payroll."
"This information is further supported by the feedback we are getting from our photographers.
We have just had three major photographer workshops across the world with more than 400
photographers present and the overwhelming view was that where they have imagery with a
competitor and with us the payments from us both dwarf what they are receiving from the
competitors and are also growing faster."
"Senior members of our sales organization confirm that when we fail to close a deal it is very
rare indeed that the client has gone ahead with that project but with a competitor. This
further validates this information."
"Our customers tell us that they are highly satisfied with our products and our service and we
know that we are continuing to gain a share of their wallets. Our sales organization will tell
you that they do not lose business to competitors, if business slows down it is due to economic
factors and not competitive factors."
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2002, the company expects to report revenue in the range of $110
million to $115 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.08 to $0.10. The company expects
fourth quarter revenues to be in the range of $110 million to $115 million, resulting in 2002
revenue of $450 million to $460 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 to $0.36.
At the end of the first quarter Getty had estimated that earnings for the year would be in
range of $460 million to $480 million for 2002. Some analysts questions whether the new,
somewhat lower, estimate went far enough. They pointed out that historically the 3rd Quarter is
always the weakest quarter and that Getty is estimating sales will remain at 2nd Quarter
levels, not drop further.
Klein gave three reason for his belief that 3rd Quarter sales will be as good as those in the
2nd Quarter.
Getty Images is revitalizing VCG by re-branding it as Taxi and they will launch a
major promotional campaign for this brand in September,
A new upgrade of the gettyimages.com site was just released, and
A new promotional campaign called Passion will be rolled out in September.
Percent Of Revenue
Klein provided for following information relative to the percent of revenue from each segment
of the business.
News & Sports
Archival & Footage
Based on the $113.3 million in sales the actual revenue in these areas for the Q2 2002 would
have been.
Klein said, "It is interesting that the RM sales are growing even in this difficult climate
when some might have suspected that customers would make more use of cheaper RF images."
Rights Managed includes all the rights managed brands, RF includes PhotoDisc, EyeWire, Artville
and Digital Vision. The News & Sports division includes Allsport and Getty Images News Service.
Average Price Per Usage
The average price per images for Rights Managed Images in Q2 2002 was $500 per image,
worldwide, up from $490 in the 1st Quarter. The average price for a single image sale of RF was
$99, up from
$85 in the 1st Quarter. This jump in single image pricing for RF was due to a recently
instituted price increase.
Klein also announced that Getty has just signed an agreement with Digital Vision to sell their
Royalty Free images. This is expected to increase the volume of Royalty Free sales through the
Gettyimages.com site. Prices for Digital Vision images are significantly higher than those of
PhotoDisc or the other brands in Getty's offering. This should result in another significant
jump in the average price for single image sales in the third quarter.
One interesting metric to look at is the number or RF images purchased in the quarter. If we
make the assumption that all RF revenue in both the 1st and 2nd quarters resulted from single
image sales the number of units sold would be 348,717 in the 1st Quarter and 297,575 in the 2nd
Quarter. That is a 15% drop in usage. We know these numbers are not exact because some of the
RF revenue came from selling discs. However, if we assume that approximately the same
percentage of total revenue came from disc sales in both quarters then the 15% drop should
still be in the ballpark regardless of how many single image units were actually licensed in
each quarter.
From other sources (not anything that could be interpolated from
Getty's reported numbers) we have indications that about 15% of the RF revenue comes from disc
sales and 85% comes from single image sales. Next quarter, it will be interesting to see if
there is a further decline in the total number of units sold, and if the expected increase in
average price per unit sold will be enough to offset the drop in unit sales.
Average Revenue Per Sales Employee
No information was provided this quarter on the average annualized revenue per sales employee.
Last quarter that number was about $900,000 (that would be about $225,000 per quarter) so we
assume there was little or no change. The company's goal is to achieve $1 million per sales
employee by year-end on an annual basis.
The geographic breakdown of sales worldwide was reported to have remained substantially the
same as last quarter. These numbers were:
The company reported net income of $4.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second
quarter, compared to a net loss of $23.7 million, or a loss of $0.46 per diluted share, for the
same period in 2001. In 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 142, under which the company
discontinued the amortization of goodwill. Excluding the impact of goodwill amortization, for
the second quarter of 2001, the net loss was $6.9 million, or a loss of $0.13 per diluted
share, on $115.9 million of revenue, as compared to net income of $4.5 million, or $0.08 per
diluted share, on $113.3 million of revenue for the second quarter of 2002.
Cash and short-term investment balances increased from $54.3 million at the end of the first
quarter to $86.9 million at June 30, 2002.

North Marshfield web agency
Hello and welcome to this web agency Web Designer North Marshfield video tutorial.
I'm Owen Corso from Google.
And today, we're going to build a rich media expandable creative with video.
Let's start by selecting file, New File.
This opens a dialog box where we will set up our ad.
First, let's make out high of project.
We have four options– The default is Display & Video 360so we will leave that as is.
Dynamic Exits in Studio - Google Web Designer
Concluding with this series of tutorials, we will see now How To Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube.
The main purpose of the series, is that you learn in a much more effective way how to solve the Rubik's cubes.
We have seen that the resolution of the Junior Cube it's a subset of the steps for the resolution of Standard Cube.
We will see now that in the case of 4x4 Rubik's Cube (and bigger cubes), the method of resolution of the Standard Cube is the base of resolution of more complex cubes.
A way to solve more complex Rubik's Cubes is accomplished through using what is commonly called the 3x3x3 reduction method.
In this method it is necessary that you know how to solve the Standard Cube. If you need to learn how to solve the Standard Cube, please read 'How To Solve A 3x3x3 Rubiks Cube'.
For simplicity this tutorial is divided in four pages, in this first page terms are defined and the method is described.
• How to solve a 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube • Pieces and Faces • Aditional Faces • Turn Of An Internal Face • Description Of The Algorithm • Step 1, Solving The Centres • Step 2, Pairing up the Edges • Step 3, Finishing the Cube • The Color Scheme • Swapping Two Opposite Centres • Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube • Step 1, Solving The Centres • I] First White Row • II] First Yellow Centre • III] Finishing the White Centre • IV] Concluding The Centres • Step 2, Pairing up the Edges • Pairing, Case A • Pairing, Case B • Step 3, Finishing the Cube • Last Layer Edges Parity Error • Incomplete Line • Incomplete Cross • Top Layer Edges Parity Error • Opposite Dedges • Adjacent Dedges • Top Layer Corners Parity Error • Corners In Line • Corners In Diagonal
How To Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube
In order to understand How To Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube, you need to be familiar with the notation. If you don't know it, please read 'How to solve a Rubiks Cube' before continuing.
For the purposes of the following tutorial, a series of colors will be chosen for the faces, you can choose others.
Pieces and Faces
Corner ..- a physical corner piece. A corner piece has three sides. There are eight corners.
Edge .....- a physical edge piece. An edge piece has two sides. There are twenty four edges.
Centre ...- a physical centre piece. A centre piece has one side. There are twenty four centres.
Face .....- a side of the cube. There are six external faces and six internal faces.
Aditional Faces
A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube has internal faces, they are named with a lowercase letter.
Internal Upper Face - u
Internal Down Face - d
Internal Left Face - l
Internal Right Face - r
Internal Front Face - f
Internal Back Face - b
Turn Of An Internal Face
In a 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube, the internal faces can turn.
To facilitate the turn (and the notation) of an internal face, this is rotated together with the outer face.
See the difference in the following examples of a clockwise turn of the External and the Internal Upper Face (also note the double arrow, which denotes to turn two faces).
How To Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube - Description Of The Algorithm
The algorithm is divided in three steps.
Step 1, Solving The Centres
The first step in the solution is to solve the 4 Centre Pieces on each face of the cube.
Step 2, Pairing up the Edges
The next step is to Pair up the 24 Edges into 12 distinct Double Edge Pairs (Dedges)
Step 3, Finishing the Cube
When you have solved the Centres and Paired up the Edges, you should see your 4x4x4 Rubik Cube like a 3x3x3 Rubik Cube.
You can finish off the cube in the same way as a 3x3x3.
The Color Scheme
The 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube is an even cube and has no fixed Centre pieces to refer to.
There is no quick way to determine which color goes where in relation to the others. It is helpful to have a color scheme memorised:
Standard Color Scheme
Yellow opposite White
Blue opposite Green
Red opposite Orange
If your cube is scrambled (or it doesn't have the standard color scheme), there is an easy way to determine the scheme.
Simply solve the corners of your 4x4x4 (assuming that you can solve the Corners of a 3x3x3).
Once you've figured out your colour scheme, memorize it or write it down.
Swapping Two Opposite Centres
At some point in your 4x4x4 Rubik Cube solving it is possible that you make a mistake with your Centres, such as transposing two Opposite Centres.
There is an easy way to fix it.
How To Solve A 4x4x4 Rubiks Cube - Algorithm
Now that you understood the method, it is time to put in practice.
Begin with the first step: Solving The Centres.

ADRIENNE PORTERFELT: You've probably tried to buy somethingonline or had to fill out some formfor your kid's school, and it's reallyhard on your phone.
It's really hard.
MUSTAFA: There seemsto be a dark art when it comes to nativeapplications, and they're such small details thatyou're actually working on.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Quite often, developers willjust throw on input fields onto a page and not reallythink about the UX that's attributed to that.
So they'll think ofa flow of a form, but they won't necessarilyfeel that individual input, so how a user struggles.
And we know thatautocomplete really helps speed up theuser experience and makes fillingforms quite nice.
What are your feelingsand experiences on autocomplete andAutofill as a thing? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT:From the user experience, you've probably triedto buy something online or had to fill out someform for your kid's school.
And it's reallyhard on your phone.
It's even hard on desktop.
You don't want to get upand get your credit card out of your purse,which is downstairs.
And these browserfeatures just really improve the userexperience of using a form.
In fact, we find that peoplefill out or submit the form 30% faster if the formworks with Autofill.
So we very much suggest thatweb developers think about this.
You want people to besubmitting your forms.
Right? So if you really want yourforms to be submitted quickly, easily, work with Autofill.
MUSTAFA: And why do you thinkdevelopers don't do that? Is it very difficult to do? I'm assuming it's just a fewattributes you add to inputs.
Right? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Yeah.
It's actually not that hard.
So you basically need to setup autocomplete attributes, and you need to makesure that you're not doing any fancy things thatreplace the normal select and input elements withother types of elements.
I think most of these developersjust don't think about it, don't realize,that you just need to put a littlebit of extra effort in to make sure that yourform works well with Autofill and to test it out.
MUSTAFA: Is that oneof the challenges, I suppose, like people makingthese custom UI things, which are not native but justlike divs or whatever and replacing that? Is that where thingsfall down with Autofill? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT:Honestly, there's a few things that can go wrong,but that's one of the big ones.
Yeah, so someone wants thisreally beautiful custom form where the dropdown isall fancy and custom.
And as a result of that,they're using all divs.
And the browser can'tfigure out, oh, this is supposed to be a form.
And then in that case,Autofill isn't going to work.
MUSTAFA: And Isuppose there's a lot of accessibilityissues connected to that as well, it looks like.
But from your pointof view, you've got designers anddevelopers, they want to do something custom,like unique experience.
But then as someone whoworks on the browser, you want to say, now letthe browser do the work.
Do you think there'sa middle point there? How can developers at leasthave a custom experience that's unique to theirproduct, but at the same time without breaking standards? Because this is one of thebiggest challenges on the web.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT:So there's a lot of things you can do tochange the look of the form on the page while stillusing the select and input elements that HTML provides.
Right? You can customizethem in many ways.
I have to admit, there is onething you can't customize, and it's the lookof the dropdown, like in a select element.
But everything else, the wayit statically looks on a page, you can customize.
And the browser will stillknow that they're fields.
MUSTAFA: Yeah.
What you see is thebiggest challenge then, for Autofillor implementation, from your point of view? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT:I think it's honestly that developers don't thinkabout it, that people don't think to themselves that theyreally need to be testing their forms in this way.
When you've made it yourself,you've filled it out 100 times.
You tested it yourself.
And you don't thinkabout the fact that a user is goingto be coming to it in a different state of mind.
They're tired.
They are tryingto fill it out as fast as they can on the phone.
So I think developersjust aren't really thinking about the factthat they need to take these extra small steps.
MUSTAFA: So in terms ofbrowser compatibility, the things you're using willbe Chrome-specific stuff? Or is that open source-- not open source, butit's cross-platform.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Yeah,that's a good question.
So specifically autocompleteattributes for Autofill, that's standardized.
All the browsers respect them.
With that being said, thereis one part, turning Autofill off-- that's the autocompleteoff attribute-- is not respected by all browsers.
But if you say,this form should be a credit card, thatwill be respected by all the major browsers.
MUSTAFA: But eachexperience, is there slight quirks per browser? Because obviously, that's goingto be a browser-specific thing.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Some are-- they have veryslightly different UIs.
For example, maybe they'llbe integrated with a keyboard widget versus a dropdown.
But I think they're prettysimilar across browsers.
MUSTAFA: You work on theactual Chrome UI itself.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Yes.
MUSTAFA: So are you actuallybuilding that design and code yourself, or are youworking with UX designers in that process? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Sowe have a design team.
And the design team helpsus figure out what those UI elements should look like.
We actually have a bigredesign coming up this year that I think is going tomake those substantially more beautiful and also help clean upthe code, which I know that it won't affect most people becauseit won't look any different.
But from our perspective-- MUSTAFA: It's much cleaner.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Man,the code's so much cleaner.
MUSTAFA: What's the actualprocess of you actually creating UI? Because for me, I do front-enddevelopment and code.
But it's like there seemsto be a dark art when it comes to native applications.
And they're such smalldetails that you're actually working on, which the user maynot notice because it works.
But if it's broken,they will see it.
What is the actualprocess that you go through with your Chromedesigners to actually making the UI or testing it? I'm asking lots ofquestions all at once.
ADRIENNE PORTERFELT: Yeah, it's OK.
It's OK.
So I'll talk about theprocess a little bit.
So usually at the beginning,Product, Eng, and the designer will get togetherand talk about what they hope for from the feature.
Often, the designwill then come up with some conceptualmocks of what they feel the feature could look like.
They'll get feedbackfrom Product.
They'll get feedback fromthe engineers, like can we actually build this, whatare the corner cases we need? And then we'lliteratively get closer to what we actually can ship.
So I work on across-platform team, which means that whatwe build has to ship on all of Chrome's platforms.
People think of Chromeas one platform.
But actually, it'sWindows and Mac-- which previouslyhad different UIs, but we're coming toone single standard-- Android, iOS.
And so we have to havedifferent mocks that relate to the specific platforms.
So some things may bepossible for some subset.
Anyway, the designers get allthis feedback from engineers, like, we can do thishere and not there.
And then we iterativelycome through to red lines, which isour final set of designs.
And that's what we implement.
MUSTAFA: So in termsof do the designers work with the actual W3C? Because you'redesigning something which has to beconsidered cross-platform at the same [? time.
?] So likewhen the payment request API, like I was working withsome of the team there, there seems to be thingswhere you have to really be seeing whateveryone else is doing so that the experiencethat you're creating is not so widely different.
And that can be quitechallenging for the designer and developer because youinstinctively want to make it, I don't know, "better.
" But you don't want to makeit so vastly different, because then you stick out.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: That'san interesting question.
The challenge here isthat with specs, we try not to specify whatthe UI has to look like.
We try to talk about what theuser experience should be so that we can have the appropriatecallbacks, et cetera, to build that experience.
But we don't like tostandardize the UI itself, which is a fine balance becauseyou have to have a UI in mind when you're designing the API.
But we try to make itas general as possible so that we can build differentUI experiences on top of it.
MUSTAFA: Are you workingwith the browsers as well at the sametime to do that, or is it you do things independently? Because there's the thing.
It's like if you do it[INAUDIBLE] the browsers, then you may be leddown a path that's not the best for everyone.
That it's, OK, it'slike a compromise.
But at the same time, you don'twant that complete disparity.
ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Itdepends a lot on the standard, honestly.
Some of them willbe heavily driven by Chrome or some other browser.
They really want this API.
They'll drive it, and thenget a little bit of feedback along the way fromother vendors.
Whereas others,from the beginning, there's severaldifferent browser vendors working together.
So honestly, it differsfrom standard to standard.
MUSTAFA: And we're coming to the10-year anniversary of Chrome.
What do you thinkthe future of say, Autofill, or just workingwith the other browsers? Because it seems like thingsare getting much better.
I was speaking toDarren, and it was like, the implementationof Flexbox was a nightmare becausethe standard kept changing.
But with CSS grid, it'samazing that there's so much cross-collaborationbetween the browsers, which is great for the users and thedevelopers working across this.
What do you think the futureis for Chrome as a platform and, I suppose, Autofillas well as a specific? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Sofor Autofill specifically, it's hard to saybecause I don't think the limitation there reallyis the lack of browser vendors cooperating.
I feel like actually, there'sbeen a lot of discussion, for example, aroundpayment request.
There's a lot of collaborationbetween Safari and Chrome.
I think that thereal problem we have is that Autofill dependson developer adoption.
Right? If it's hard for thebrowser to figure out what form's in thepage, we're not going to be able to Autofill it.
And so I think thething we really care about is whetherwe can get developers interested in andusing the tools that we have provided for them totry to improve the Autofill experience.
Do you ever have toremove a feature when you see there's not wide adoption? Because I can seefrom an engineer, you're working on Chrome.
You spent your heart andsoul working on this feature.
And then you know it'sgreat for user experience.
You know from theresearch that Autofill will help transactions,and it's just nicer.
But if adoption doesn'thappen, how do you [INAUDIBLE]?? It's the biggest-- ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Yeah,that's a really hard one.
I've been througha few deprecations.
They can be really challenging.
It's very hard.
So there are a few waysyou can look at it.
One is how many usersinteract with websites that are using such a feature.
And obviously, thatnumber is large, you don't want to create apain point for a lot of users.
But even if thenumber is very small, it might be that there are afew websites, a few companies, whose entire businessmodel depends on having access to this API.
And so that can make itvery difficult, where OK, even if it's thisreally a niche thing, it still can behard to deprecate.
So I think there have beenlots of ongoing discussions in general about howto make that trade-off.
Some of the onesI've been involved in relate specificallyto security and TLS, where if something is makingthe web as a whole as safe, we may have to breaksome connections in order to deprecate it.
And it can be areally painful thing when you've got old serverson the internet that aren't being upgraded.
And maybe it's only a smallpercentage of overall page loads, but it'sstill frustrating when a user is trying to getto a website and it's broken.
But ultimately, fromChrome's perspective, it's the user's experiencethat's paramount.
Right? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Yes.
MUSTAFA: And theirsafety and security.
So it's like HTTPS, you couldprobably explain it better, but there's a cutoff pointwhere if your site is not loaded on HTTPS, you're goingto get a message saying, this isn't secure.
Right? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Fora long time in Chrome, we showed HTTP as neutral, HTTPas just plain text and no TLS.
MUSTAFA: Sorry, what's TLS,just for my non-designer-- ADRIENNE PORTER FELT: Oh, TLSis the underlying protocol that makes HTTPS HTTPS.
It's why it's secure.
So there is HTTP,which doesn't have any of the end-to-endsecurity bits on it.
And HTTP websiteswere just shown as a neutral standard thing.
Right? Most websites on the web wereHTTP, but that's changed.
We went from a few yearsago, we were at 25% HTTPS.
And now, it's the opposite wherewe're at more like 75% HTTPS.
So made changes in theUI to back that up.
So now when you go to awebsite that says HTTP, it's going to also say"not secure" next to it so people reallyunderstand what that means.
MUSTAFA: That decision mustbe quite tough, though.
In some respects, you need toforce the developers to say users' security is paramount.
But at the sametime, does it feel like you're breaking the web? ADRIENNE PORTER FELT:It doesn't really feel like we'rebreaking the web.
First of all, Ithink people have seen this a long time coming.
We've been talking aboutit for a long time.
We've rolled it out in phases.
So first, we started showing"not secure" specifically for pages with passwordsand credit card form fields.
And then it was for allform fields and web pages when viewed in incognito.
And now we're rolling itout for all HTTP websites.
And as you can see, becauseHTTPS adoption has really increased, it's onlyimpacting less than a quarter of page loads at this point.
MUSTAFA: So really,we're just talking about protecting the user.
ADRIENNE PORTERFELT: Yeah, and I think users have a right to knowthat their information isn't secure when they'regoing to this website and help them make adecision about whether or not they want to keep using thatservice or go to another one.
MUSTAFA: And do youthink users are quite savvy now to see those things? Or is this part of theeducation for the user as well to say, look,there are certain things on the web which arenot secure that you have to take into consideration.
ADRIENNE PORTERFELT: I'll be honest.
We have literally billions ofactive users, so it's hard to-- MUSTAFA: Make ageneral [INAUDIBLE] ADRIENNE PORTERFELT: --say generally whether people are goingto understand it or not.
We think enoughpeople understand it that they have a reactionand that they can reach out to sites saying, hey, Ireally like this site, but I wish it were secure.
And we see people doing thatas we've been rolling out these warnings.
SPEAKER 1: The way thatcellular networks are set up is that there's alwaysthese fringe areas, and there's alwaysthese breakdowns.
And higher latencyis always there.
Does Going to the Dentist Make You Nervous?
WEB DESIGN IS BROKEN but it's okay weare fixing it.
Today we are gonna follow on from the last video and we're gonnatake you further along down that path to that magical place called budget.
Yeswe're helping you to create a budget, an appropriate budget for your web designproject.
I'm still not gonna give you some magical figure because it doesn'texist; it's all relative.
So I'm not gonna talkin terms of X pounds or Y dollars but I will be talking in terms of high mediumlow investment what that means only you can really know because a largeinvestment for you might be a small investment for the next business: a smallinvestment for coca-cola it's probably gonna be most people's annual turnovers!So only you will know what a large versus a small investment actually is.
Soin the last video we laid down some key things that you really need to be awareof when you're thinking about a budget not just for a web design project butactually for anything and these are these are things, biases that that we allhave as people that can really affect how we determine what to invest inthings.
By understanding these biases we actually reduce the chance of over orunder investing in a project just simply by being aware of them.
So in this videowe're gonna look at two more very key things that are going to give you quitea reliable shortcut to determining whether the investment you make islarger or smaller.
These two things are risk and complexity.
What do we mean byrisk and what do we mean by complexity? When we're talking about risk we'retalking about the impact that it could have on your business.
Something that ishigh risk could have a significant impact on your business.
The way I like to think about risk is that it's whether it goes right orwhether it goes wrong, so it's not just down side there's also upside as well.
If there's significant upside then it's still gonna be high risk.
Low risk meansthat it's not gonna make a huge impact on your business,it's not gonna move the needle as they say.
Complexity is really just about howtechnically difficult it is to actually deliver this piece of functionality soif you look at, I don't know, take bridge making as an example: if you're buildinga small bridge across a little stream then that's probably going to be lesstechnically difficult then if you're trying to bridge the River Thames.
So it'show technically difficult it is to deliver and again it goes on a scale oflow to high complexity so why risk and complexity well if we plot them on agraph like so, we can see that they create four quadrants.
Now each of thesefour quadrants represents a different type of project: a high risk, highcomplexity project; a high risk, low complexity project; a low risk, highcomplexity project and a low risk, low complexity project.
Now just by exploringthese four different types of projects, these four project characteristics wecan actually start to make assumptions about what that project is going to belike and give you some shortcuts as to how much you invest in that type ofproject.
Let's jump into it: let's start off with the easy one low risk lowcomplexity.
So this is what I call the 'tick box' this is a website project thatis effectively just a tick box exercise maybe as a part of your business there'sa requirement that you have a web-based resource which goes over a whole bunchof really interesting things.
Maybe it'sjust a regulatory requirement, maybe you've gone for some funding and awebsite has to be a part of what you deliver.
It really doesn't make a hugeimpact on your business if it's just informational as these things typicallytend to be, then it doesn't really require groundbreaking programmingskills and cutting-edge design to actually fulfill its need.
So in thistype of project you really want to be investing as little as you possibly canjust as much as you need to to get a reasonable job done.
It's not gonna makea huge impact on your business; it's not technically difficult to deliver youjust want something that works and that ticks that box.
So if your project is lowrisk low complexity don't bet the farm on it there's no point it's not gonnabring you the return that you need pay as little as you can to get a goodprofessional job done but don't go crazy over it.
So now we've got low risk highcomplexity.
This is an interesting space and I like to call this quadrant in thistype of project the 'moderniser'.
With something that's low risk and highcomplexity typically we're looking at improving existing systems and processesusing newly available modern technologies.
With this type of projectwhat you really want to be doing is looking at a provider that hasthoroughly solved this problem so I'm thinking online payments companies likePayPal, like Stripe have thoroughly solved this technical challenge.
It's notnecessarily the type of project that you think is going to completelyrevolutionize your business; it might make things a lot more efficient andyou'll probably see some uptick in sales, engagement things like that, but ultimatelyit's not the big game changer for your business.
So you should be lookingto invest a reasonable amount to get some off-the-shelf solutions that canactually bridge this gap and help you modernize.
Let's jump into my favoritequadrant: low complexity high risk this is what I call the 'punt'.
So this is myfavorite sector because this is typically where a business has spotted anew opportunity maybe a new part of the market maybe they want to spin off anexisting product or service and they just want to test it out.
They want tosee whether their offering or messaging works.
Why this is high risk is that ifit works well then there could be significant upside.
It might be a wholenew part of their business it might be a new standalone business if it goes badlythen they lose their initial investment.
Now what you want to do when you'reworking in this quadrant you what you want to be doing is thinking aboutmultiple small investments and testing religiously.
Test absolutely everythingbecause what you're trying to do is figure out if this thing, if this ideahas got the legs to warrant a proper investment.
You want to be thinkinglanding pages; very simple to produce very easy to iterate.
You also want to bethinking about investing in things like pay-per-click advertising as well -literally buying the traffic to test against your multiple service offeringvariations.
Don't bet the farm on this it's all about controlling risk at everysingle point every single iteration so be very purposeful be very deliberateabout how you execute when you're dealing with low complexity high riskprojects.
So the final quadrant is what I call the 'moonshot'.
This is the stuff ofstartup legend.
This is that entrepreneur space where we are launching newproducts into unknown markets.
This is an area that is very similar to high risklow complexity in its approach but you should really be making significantinvestments in this area: you still need to control the risk andyou still need to test fastidiously but you might be needing to actually investheavier and produce some custom functionality.
You might need to actuallybe producing working prototypes of your product or service offering.
You can't cut corners when you're in this quadrant the risk is too high.
Because the complexity is high you're probably going to be building thingsthat have never been built before; you're needing to create technical capabilitywithin your business and understand how that impacts the delivery of yourproduct and/or service.
So absolutely never cut corners here.
The key wordsthat you should be listening out to when you're talking about the project is 'noone else is doing this', 'this has never been done before', 'this is brand new',''here's why it's different to the competitors'.
All of these things shouldbe getting you thinking high risk high complexity.
Invest well, don't cut cornersand test and iterate and measure absolutely everything you can.
So thoseare the four quadrants and hopefully this gets you a little bit closer tounderstanding where your project sits in those quadrants and the amount that youshould invest relative to, well whatever that means to you as a business.
Thus farwe've understood things about the biases and the psychology that can affect howwe make investment decisions, we've been able to identify where our project sitsalong an axis of risk versus complexity in the next video we're going to belooking at some pounds and pence examples for how you can start to createthat budget or a range of that budget based on the perceived upside or theperceived savings that you're gonna make or thatyou're hoping to make in your web design project.
That was heavy!My name is Aaron Taylor, I'm helping you to make better decisions and have betterconversations when you're buying a website.
Till next time!.

The best places in Manchester and Cheshire by Antonio Franchitti who owns Indulgence in Bramhall.
Sams Chop House in Manchester is a great place to relax and chill out. I am a fan of authentic beers and lagers which are available here along with the best pub food in Manchester. Excellent for both business or a leisurely lunch.
Without a doubt theres only one place to choose - my very own eatery, Indulgence. Serving artisan ice creams (over 150 different flavours). We serve a wide range of red and black bean coffee, my favourite being an Expresso - we use 42 beans in every measure.
Its got to be Cloud 23 in the Hilton Hotel on Deansgate, Manchester. Brilliant selection of champagne and cocktails and what a wonderful view!
Stock in Manchester is one of my great favourites. Wonderful Edwardian surroundings with a sophisticated menu which takes me back to my Southern Italian roots. Excellent wine list, with some of my regional favourites. You can finish the evening off with dancing too.
