These Are The Supply-Side Ad Servers Trying To Win The Next Generation Of TV
by James Hercher // Thursday, April 18th, 2019 – 7:46 am
Television advertising is getting smarter. And the smartest companies in digital advertising are coming for TV.
That means a royal rumble is playing out over who controls the ad serving for data-driven TV campaigns.
AdExchanger looked at the TV and video ad serving landscape, where broadcasters and digital ad platforms like Google and Amazon fiercely compete with each other and with a new set of OTT and CTV players.
Comcast's FreeWheel
Comcast's FreeWheel is the broadcast ad serving incumbent, with clients like Viacom, Fox and Turner.
FreeWheel has a supply of broadcast network inventory that it can enhance with data-driven targeting because the audience comes from set-top boxes, like recorded or on-demand shows, OTT apps or desktop and mobile streams.
FreeWheel serves about half of its inventory to TVs, either via an OTT device or video on-demand (VOD). And it plans to get into linear ad serving, said James Rooke, general manager of FreeWheel's publisher business.
The clients testing FreeWheel's next-gen ad server products are also Comcast subsidiaries: NBCUniversal and the internet and entertainment package Xfinity X1. NBCU is the first programmer to test FreeWheel's linear ad planner, which reorders TV commercial breaks based on its ad server logic, Rooke said. With X1, FreeWheel is testing dynamic ad insertion in live TV feeds.
While some networks are unwilling to hand the reins to Comcast-owned FreeWheel, other legacy TV rivals increasingly see themselves as allies in a larger fight with digital platforms.
For instance, television ads lose credit to search and digital media because TV is seen as top of the funnel branding, Rooke said. As a Comcast company and an ad server primarily for TV networks, FreeWheel shares the broadcaster perspective on attribution, he said, whereas Google, FreeWheel's chief ad-serving competitor, benefits from TV's disadvantage.
"The reason we have the client base we have and why we've defended it successfully against Google despite them being such a considerable force is that our incentives are aligned with our client base," Rooke said.
The 800-pound gorilla of digital advertising is taking on a new jungle.
YouTube, which can only be bought with Google tech, gives Google a head start. YouTube accounts for 10% of all online video streaming, ahead of Amazon or Hulu, according to Nielsen data, and Google Ad Manager (GAM) already serves a lot of mobile video ads.
Google has also steadily added more broadcast inventory to its supply-side video ad server, with network clients like CBS, Lifetime, and Disney, which it poached from FreeWheel last November.
Snagging Disney was a coup, but many industry insiders mark it with an asterisk since Disney had just resolved bitter duels with Comcast over the acquisitions of Sky TV and 21st Century Fox.
But Google still makes a compelling pitch to broadcast media because it can bundle data, cloud services, analytics and ad serving across video, display and search.
Disney and 21st Century Fox, which is now owned by Disney, were early Google Cloud customers and beta partners for Ads Data Hub, Google's cloud-based audience platform. Entertainment studios spend heavily on search ads and on YouTube, targeting people looking up nearby movies and watching trailers. This allows Google to package the GAM ad server into much larger deals around cloud infrastructure and marketing analytics.
INVIDI works with TV networks and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), including AT&T's DirecTV, Dish Network and Verizon Fios, to target ads via satellite TV services and set-top boxes.
Those MVPD pipes allow networks to dynamically insert commercials during a linear TV feed. It's an important way for MVPDs to generate value for TV networks they carry.
"The networks need MVPDs to make audiences addressable and us for the technology to make that work," said INVIDI EVP Michael Kubin.
INVIDI has a leg up with MVPDs because it's co-owned by AT&T and Dish. Its third co-owner is WPP. But INVIDI is "strictly a technology company," Kubin said. Advertisers need TV networks aggregated to de-duplicate audiences and control for frequency, he said.
An MVPD like Verizon Fios could have competitive concerns about using an ad server co-owned by two rivals. But on the other hand, INVIDI's main competitor in linear TV ad insertion is Visible World, which is owned by FreeWheel.
Hulu has a proprietary ad server that controls its owned supply.
Connected TV inventory is supply constrained, and ad-free subscriptions are still growing fast. As one of the few scaled programmatic OTT sources, using its own ad server is a "key strategic advantage" for Hulu, said Doug Fleming, head of advanced TV.
Hulu operates an ad server without delving too deeply into programmatic because it has a unique deal with Telaria, its exclusive SSP. Telaria handles the programmatic ecosystem plugins, Fleming said, like viewability and brand safety verification or audience segmentation and measurement across other media. Hulu has only approved eight DSPs, so it keeps a tight rein on the entire supply chain.
Hulu's ad server isn't the largest, but it may be the most keenly scrutinized. Hulu has scale and a powerful backer in Disney, its majority owner (Comcast has the minority share). But most importantly, Hulu allows auction-based bidders to compete with direct sold advertisers.
Programmatic buyers want to advertise on real TV shows. And broadcasters would love to see Hulu's programmatic CPMs outrun direct ad rates, since it would help TV prices across the board.
"For us it's critical we don't prioritize direct sold over programmatic," Fleming said.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon is like a shark lurking below the ad server industry.
Amazon was a contender with Google when Disney reviewed ad servers last year, two sources with knowledge of the process told AdExchanger.
And even without broadcaster clients, Amazon has quickly created more OTT and video supply for itself. Last October, the terms of service for Fire TV publishers were updated to require 30% of all ad impressions go to Amazon. It also dropped the popular ad free subscription tier for Twitch, forcing more ads on video game streamers. In January, Amazon launched Freedive, an ad-supported OTT channel operated by IMDb.
"I haven't seen (an Amazon video ad server) in market but no doubt they have the capability," said SpotX CEO Mike Shehan. "It would be a long-term concern for any media competitor to expose their inventory like that, since Amazon owns the platform via Fire TV, has its own content and has the audience data and consumption side with the marketplace."
The hopefuls
Broadcast networks and tech companies like Google and Amazon take most of the video ad growth, but there's room for other aspirants.
Telaria soft launched an ad server last year. And SpotX, the ad tech company owned by RTL Group, Europe's largest broadcaster, launched a supply-side ad server last year as well. But those companies mainly work with smaller video players, like digital-first publishers trying an OTT app or ad-supported OTT channels like fuboTV and Pluto TV.
Nielsen is another potential ad server for the next generation of TV. The ratings company acquired the content recognition firm Gracenote in 2017, and uses the product for dynamic ad insertion in smart TVs. And in February Nielsen acquired Sorenson Media, an ad server for smart-TV manufacturers and media companies with streaming content, including Hearst, Sinclair and AMC.
Nielsen hasn't made waves as an ad server yet, and would have to juggle that business with its core TV ratings and measurement – the referee typically doesn't enter the game. On the other hand, Google, Amazon, AT&T and Comcast combine media and measurement, and the dollars seem to follow.
Innovid is a 12-year-old video ad server that's focused primarily on YouTube and digital media companies, but streaming channels like Roku, Xbox and Apple or Amazon OTT apps are the fastest-growing part of the business, said co-founder and CTO Tal Chalozin. A third of the company's supply now comes from set-top boxes, smart TVs or OTT devices.
Marketers will need all the entry points they can get to CTV and OTT, SpotX's Shehan said.
Xandr has an open exchange right now, but could relegate WarnerMedia inventory to all but its own DSP, he said, like Google does with YouTube. And Disney could also create a walled garden platform for its media.

The Irish Love Connection
by Ward Gahan
Whitefriar Street Church
St. Valentine, the patron saint of love, was executed in the 3rd century for performing christian marriages. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th, the day that St. Valentine was commemorated in christianity. He was originally buried in Rome, but in 1835, Irish priest Fr. John Spratt convinced Pope Gregory XVI to exhume his remains and bring St. Valentine home to Ireland.
Today, St. Valentine's remains are located within the Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, Ireland. His aura draws followers and fanatic to his final resting place in the hope of finding everlasting love. Seekers come from all over for help in finding that special someone or praying for strength in their current relationships.
As Jack Kornfield so eloquently said, "Love isn't for the faint of heart." Love takes work and we thought this printable would be a great source of inspiration for you to continue sharing the love. You can download a print-ready version here.

Live at Knebworth 1990 - Volume II
Knebworth, Hertfordshire, June 30, 1990. 120,000 fansgathered for an historic concert event to aid the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre and the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. This incredible benefit concert was an instant success due to the high-energy, awe-inspiring performances of such rock 'n' roll legends as Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Status Quo, Tears For Fears and Cliff Richard & The Shadows.
With Orchestra: Live at Montreux 2011
This concert features Deep Purple playing their classic hits with the accompaniment of a full contemporary orchestra conducted by Stephen "BK" Bentley-Klein. The orchestrated arrangements give an added depth and range to the familiar songs and the band, who are clearly enjoying the experience, deliver one of their finest performances. With a career stretching back into the late sixties and global album sales in excess of 100 million, Deep Purple need no introduction. They continue to record and perform around the world on an ongoing basis and remain of the finest hard rock bands on the planet as this live concert clearly shows.
Live at the Circus Krone
Two thousand three was a banner year for legendary rockers AC/DC. From induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame to a sold-out tour with The Rolling Stones, the band pulled no punches during their 30th anniversary. Select cities even got to see the band return to small clubs for special intimate gigs, including the world famous Circus Krone in Munich, Germany. This fantastic in-your-face gig includes rare performances of such songs as "Rock N Roll Damnation" and "What's Next To The Moon."
Recorded in 1994, Bob Dylan - MTV Unplugged is a brilliant, quietly impassioned performance by one of pop music's most significant figures. Fronting his empathetic five-piece band (Bucky Baxter excels on dobro, mandolin, and pedal steel guitar; Bob himself plays frequent "rhythm leads" on his Martin), Dylan performs four of his best-known and potentially most overdone tunes in the 73-minute show; but "All Along the Watchtower," "The Times They Are A-Changin'," "Like a Rolling Stone," and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" all sound great, with Dylan, as is his wont, re-casting both the arrangements and melodies. Even better is the obscure "John Brown" (written in the early '60s), a driving, biting war protest song of the kind that made him famous, while "Dignity," a lesser-known tune from the '90s, is filled with great lines ("Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues... said he was abused by dignity"), and "Shooting Star" revisits Oh Mercy, Dylan's best '80s album. Through it all, Dylan says nary a word, although he does smile and shake some hands (even removing his shades) at the end. And as good as it may be, this show is most likely different from every Dylan concert before or since, a sure sign of an artist in no danger of becoming irrelevant.
Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood
History rocked and rock made history during a sold-out three-gig stand at Madison Square Garden in late February 2008 when icons Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood performed a concert together for the first time since their all-too-brief days in the legendary Blind Faith in 1969. Whether they will ever team again is unknown. But with Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood Live From Madison Square Garden fans everywhere are able to experience the sound and the glory of a performance on that famous stage by two of rock's greatest artists.
Classic Albums: Disraeli Gears
CREAM was rock's first true "super group". Combining the extraordinary talents of ERIC CLAPTON, GINGER BAKER and JACK BRUCE, this power trio became the template for many hard rock acts of the seventies. The band remains a huge influence on the genre even to this day. Powered by hits such as "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love", Cream's second album, DISRAELI GEARS, moved the band beyond the blues into hard-driving, psychedelic pop. This was the album that not only broke the group in the United States but also established Clapton as an international superstar. This addition of Disraeli Gears to the acclaimed Classic Albums series features brand new interviews with Clapton, Baker and Bruce, along with lyricist Pete Brown, Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, John Mayall and Manfred Mann. Also included on this program are acoustic performances, original studio tracks and archival live footage.
London Calling: Live in Hyde Park
This concert captures a nearly three-hour show Bruce Springsteen performed at Hyde Park. The setlist includes a number of The Boss' classics along with covers of The Clash's "London Calling," The Yung Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped."
In 1971, four college students got together to form a rock band. Since then, that certain band called Queen have released 26 albums and sold over 300 million records worldwide. The popularity of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon is stronger than ever 40 years on. But it was no bed of roses. No pleasure cruise. Queen had their share of kicks in the face, but they came through and this is how they did it, set against the backdrop of brilliant music and stunning live performances from every corner of the globe. In this film, for the first time, it is the band that tells their story. Featuring brand new interviews with the band and unseen archive footage (including their recently unearthed, first ever TV performance), it is a compelling story told with intelligence, wit, plenty of humor and painful honesty.
The Doors were founded by Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison in Los Angeles in 1965. They released their eponymous debut album, which contained their hit single "Light My Fire," in 1967 and went on to be one of the most controversial and influential rock acts of the sixties. Jim Morrison's early death in Paris in 1971 only served to fuel their legend and both he and the band have continued to enjoy iconic status for more than fifty years. Watch The Doors as they tour Europe in 1968, taking in London, Stockholm, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. These rare live performances are introduced and linked by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick who, as members of Jefferson Airplane, shared the bill on this historic tour. Live in Europe is part of The Doors Digital Festival on Qello Concerts: www.QelloConcerts.com/vip/TheDoorsDigitalFestival
The Doors Digital Festival is a curated collection of concerts and documentaries of, not only The Doors, but also of other artists that fans of The Doors will love.
Soundstage Performances
The Doors Soundstage Performances are a truly unique compilation of three completely different Doors performances at three distinct stages in their career. The concept of the Soundstage Performances laid the way to assemble all three appearances. The majority of the material has never been seen before. Not only is it rare, but it is startlingly great. Providing commentary are the two remaining Doors: John Densmore and Robby Krieger, plus the late Ray Manzarek. Even without an audience, The Doors mesmerize, playing for nothing but the cameras. Morrison delivers electrifying performances, whether reciting poetry in Denmark proceeding "Love Me Two Times" or getting it on during "The Soft Parade," Jim Morrisons' charisma, beauty, and brilliance shine during all. Enjoy these Soundstage Performances along with many more documentaries and full-length Doors concerts during The Doors Digital Festival on Qello Concerts: www.QelloConcerts.com/vip/TheDoorsDigitalFestival
Live at Soundstage
America Live in Soundstage presents an unique and intimate performance from the legendary band that defined the early 70s folk sound and ruled the Top-10 charts with their evocative harmonies and acoustic-styled musicianship. The memorable 20-song set includes greatest hits as well as rare live versions of "Head And Heart", "Till The Sun Comes Up Again" and "The Last Unicorn" plus a special on-stage appearance by Christopher Cross on the song "Lonely People."
Fusions: Live in London
Filmed in 1976 whilst on their Face the Music Tour, sees the band live in London for the first time in three years, due to their popularity in the United States.
Aside from Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley, this is the only concert footage of the classic lineup known to exist (with Zoom Tour Live and a VH1 Storytellers appearance from 2001 forming the only other pieces of live footage).
Crosby & Nash: In Concert
David Crosby And Graham Nash
Filmed at the Palace Theatre in Stamford, CT during their 2011 tour, Crosby-Nash: In Concert captures the legendary duo performing hits from their beloved catalog.
Live in Budokan
Studio releases never fully conveyed Cheap Trick's muscle, but the band harnessed the raw energy of their live show with 1978's At Budokan (Live). Recorded in Tokyo before 12,000 feverish fans, "Hello There" and "Lookout" are the dictionary definition of how live rock 'n' roll should sound. A cover of "Ain't That a Shame" highlights the band's connection to a timeless tradition of teen-rock abandon, but "Surrender" and "I Want You to Want Me" are the gold coins that secured them their own space in the rock canon.
Live at Royal Albert Hall
In 1969 Deep Purple premiered Jon Lords groundbreaking Concerto For Group And Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Thirty years later, in September 1999, Deep Purple and the London Symphony Orchestra returned to the same venue for the concertos second performance. The centrepiece of the concert is of course the concerto itself but it is preceded by a short set of other Jon Lord tracks, songs from Roger Glovers Butterfly Ball (sung by Ronnie James Dio) and Ian Paices jazz arrangement of the early Purple classic Wring That Neck. Following the concerto are five Deep Purple classics culminating with Smoke On The Water.
Live from Freedom Hall
'Live From Freedom Hall' not only captures the band in its most natural state-on stage, but is also one of the last concert she to be recorded with longtime members Billy Powell and Ean Evans, both of whom passed away in 2009. The release is a tribute to and a celebration of Skynyrd. The set features all the classics including 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'Free Bird.'
Feast of Friends
Feast of Friends, filmed in 1968, was the first and only film produced about The Doors by The Doors. It offers a cinematic look at The Doors on the road during their summer '68 tour. Whilst never truly completed, the film provides a stylistic approach in true sixties cinéma vérité style. Concert performances are intercut with fly-on-the-wall footage of the group in their natural habitat, sometimes playful, sensitive, chaotic and touching. Other than a few appearances in film festivals in 1968, an official release would never be seen until now. Completely restored from the original negative, as supervised by Jim Morrison, the film has been colour corrected and cleaned in high definition with the soundtrack totally remixed and remastered by long-time Doors' collaborator Bruce Botnick.
No One Here Gets Out Alive: A Tribute to Jim Morrison
Runtime: 1 hr
A full exploration of the controversial and quixotic singer, Jim Morrison, delving into his fascination with cinema and psychology, mysticism and sexuality, poetry and power. In addition to performance clips of the band in action, it features interviews with Ray Manzarek plus the surviving members of the Doors and many others who were instrumental in creating and maintaining the legend. Enjoy No One Here Gets Out Alive along with many more documentaries and full-length Doors concerts during The Doors Digital Festival on Qello Concerts: www.QelloConcerts.com/vip/TheDoorsDigitalFestival
Eric Clapton performs 15 acoustic songs in this outstanding entry from the MTV "Unplugged" series. Included is the ode to his late son "Tears In Heaven," and selections from Clapton's three decades plus of recordings. Musicians contributing are Nathan East on bass, Steve Ferrone on drums, Chuck Leavell on keyboards, Andy Fairweather Low on guitar, and Ray Cooper on percussion. Backing vocals are provided by Tessa Niles, Katie Kissoon and Nathan East. Songs written by such blues heroes as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley are included in this award winning 1992 performance.
Knebworth, Hertfordshire, June 30, 1990. 120,000 fans gathered for a historic concert event to aid the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre and the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. This incredible benefit concert was an instant success due to the high-energy, awe-inspiring performances of such rock 'n' roll legends as Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Status Quo, Tears For Fears and Cliff Richard & The Shadows.
Volume II includes Status Quo, Eric Clapton, Mark Knophler and Elton John.
Down The Tracks - The Music That Influenced Bob Dylan
This fascinating documentary tells the story of the music and artists that have influenced Bob Dylan throughout his career. Although his reputation as a songwriter stands supreme, Dylan has often covered tracks from vintage blues, folk and country performers or incorporated elements from them into his own material. "Down the Tracks" explores the lives and work of many of these artists and how Dylan interacted with them through archive performance and interview footage alongside new interviews and documentary material.
Bob Dylan: The 30th Anniversary Concert
On October 16, 1992, New York City's hottest concert ticket was the live gathering of musical giants, legend and archetypes who'd come to Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bob Dylan's first Columbia Records album and play a selection of Dylan songs—from culturally iconic (John Mellencamp's no-nonsense "Like A Rolling Stone") to bootleg obscure (Lou Reed's acerbic take on "Foot of Pride")—that had moved and inspired them over the decades. The four hour show, performed for a sold-out audience of more than 18,000 fans and live-cast around the world, brought together an unprecedented roster of artists and icons including Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Lou Reed, The Clancy Brothers, Ritchie Havens, Johnny Winter, Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Ron Wood, Chrissie Hynde, The O'Jays, Eddie Vedder, Sinéad O'Connor, Tracy Chapman, George Harrison (then making his first US concert appearance in 18 years) and more. Providing musical backing throughout the show was an ensemble dream team featuring three members of Booker T. & The M.G.'s, G.E. Smith on guitar with Jim Keltner and Anton Fig on drums. Dubbed "Bobfest" on stage by a jubilant Neil Young, the 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration reached a transcendent crescendo with an unforgettable performance and all-star jam featuring the evening's honoree. Viewed anew from a 20-year perspective, Bob Dylan - The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration - Deluxe Edition is a remarkable testament to the enduring legacy and ongoing musical influence of Bob Dylan. That valedictory gathering from more than 20 years ago proved to be a mid-career retrospective of a recording artist and performer who continues to inform and transform the cultural landscape.
CSN 2012
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Crosby, Stills, & Nash join forces for their first live performance video in over 2 decades! Filmed during their 2012 tour, CSN 2012 includes many of the trio's classic hits, some new and unreleased songs, and a rare performance of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes."
Live in Boston (Part 2)
Fleetwood Mac: Members Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks unite for an evening that revisits the passion that propelled them to the top of the charts in a night of rocking classics
The culmination of wrenching lyrics, harmonious delivery and purposeful melodies maintained by the rhythms of Fleetwood and McVie (the band's namesakes), have endured several stylistic incarnations over the decades. Other performances include the dramatic "Rhiannon," the early hit "Say You Love Me" and new releases "Peacekeeper," "Goodbye Baby," and Say You Will."

Ventures and Inventors: Annual Startup Week Launches at Geekdom
by Shari Biediger February 27, 2017 February 27, 2017

Data and timing are on the side of Austin entrepreneur Jean Anne Booth, whose latest invention is a smartwatch aimed at senior citizens like her mother, who still lives independently in her San Antonio home.
According to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, venture-backed companies with a woman CEO, like Booth, showed 35% higher return on investment and 12% higher revenue growth, while using one-third of the capital.
But Booth's prospects for her latest venture got even better when she met Sara Brand and Kerry Rupp, partners in True Wealth Ventures, who say they know why women are not just persevering, but also finding success.
They will deliver a talk on that topic Wednesday, March 1, during the second annual San Antonio Startup Week, which kicks off Feb. 27 and continues through March 3 at the Geekdom Event Centre. Their presentation, sponsored by the San Antonio Angel Network at Paramour Bar, is titled "Outperformance and Opportunities: Women Inventors and Women Entrepreneurs."
To reserve a spot, click here.
"It's a growing, dynamic environment that's maturing," said Luis Martinez, Trinity University director for the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, about San Antonio Startup Week. "What's remarkable is how incredibly collaborative and cooperative it is, I've never seen anything like it."
Martinez said this year's event also will offer a collegiate showcase that highlights student startups from Trinity, UTSA, St. Mary's University and University of the Incarnate Word, as well as more sessions like the one by Rupp and Brand, who also are presenting "Empowering Entrepreneuring Women" on March 1.
True Wealth is a venture capital fund the two women began in Austin less than one year ago to invest in women-led companies with "products and technologies in the consumer health and sustainable customer sectors that efficiently address the next generation of challenges."
Women make 85% of consumer-product purchase decisions and 80% of healthcare decisions, according to Bloomberg. So it stands to reason, according to the True Wealth partners, that when women serve on a management team that designs, sells, or services products for customers in these markets, it's a competitive advantage.
For Booth, it was a perfect match-up.
"We were looking for financing. I knew Sara and Kerry from startup events and women's events around the Austin area," Booth said. "I watched Sara take True Wealth from concept to actively funding companies – and she watched me take UnaliWear from concept through 10 stages of prototyping. So when we were looking for the money to get our user test underway, I went straight to Sara."
Brand has degrees in design and manufacturing from UC Berkeley and mechanical engineering from UT Austin where she now serves on the Cockrell School of Engineering's external advisory board. She worked in various executive-level roles in the semiconductor industry for 20 years and managed a $150 million venture fund with four others in one of the top 10 firms in San Francisco. More recently, with her husband, she founded the draft-only (512) Brewing Company.
"Everything [in my career] was very, very 'male,'" Brand said. "But then I was asked to be an executive sponsor of the Global Women's Forum when I was at Advanced Micro Devices. And they asked me to do that because I was the only vice president in Austin who was a woman, who had any tech or operational background. That was the first time I realized I was so rare. So I started doing my homework."
No sooner had Brand decided to seize the opportunity than she realized she had never met another woman doing venture capital work in Austin. Then she was introduced to Rupp.
As CEO and general partner at DreamIt, a global startup accelerator, Rupp grew its programs to five cities, raised a $20 million follow-on fund and helped to launch of over 150 companies. Before DreamIt, she founded her own business, a travel service that designed international excursions for women. Rupp has an MBA from Harvard Business School and a bachelor's degree from Duke University.
Working together now, both Brand and Rupp are deeply involved in the state's entrepreneurial ecosystem, fostering tech innovation and gender diversity.
They consider women-led companies an untapped market for investors. Only 3% of venture dollars currently go to startups at which women are the leaders, and only 15% to those with women who serve on the management team, according to the Diana Report. Yet a report by the early-stage venture capital firm First Round Capital showed companies with a female founder performed 63% better than investments with all-male founding teams.
But even True Wealth is a minority, at least among venture capital firms.
"If you look across the country at firms, in terms of early-stage VC funds with some women as partners, with any kind of gender diversity strategy, there are only six out of tens of thousands of firms out there. They are in California and New York, and there's nothing in Texas, let alone the central U.S.," Brand said.
"So that's how we came to, this is the best opportunity I've ever seen. Plus, the most fun opportunity we've seen, combining everything I love."

Now they are creating opportunities for other women like Booth, whose concept for a wearable component of a personal emergency response system, Brand said, sits in a "blind spot" for investors and technologists. That makes for little competition in a growing market as the population ages and adult children are faced with caring for their parents.
Those advantages, added to Booth's track record for success – having also invented and sold tech products to Texas Instruments and Apple – is why True Wealth invested its first $500,000 in the startup. UnaliWear is now undergoing user-experience testing prior to a formal market launch.
"It's made a huge difference," Booth said. "After funding, True Wealth has been a fantastic partner, providing back-channel support that helps us close additional money to build the business.
"Because True Wealth does understand women entrepreneurs, it allows you to more quickly focus on the business – without first having to overcome unconscious [or conscious] bias."
San Antonio Startup Week is a Techstars program sponsored by Trinity, USAA, the 80/20 Foundation, and others. Registration is recommended to attend the presentations and events, including a celebration on Thursday with closing remarks by former Rackspace Chairman Graham Weston and Readitfor.me CEO Steve Cunningham.
"Anyone who is already part of the scene who wants to expand their participation and knowledge should certainly attend," Martinez said. "Students, veterans, and those who want to learn more and get connected should come to sessions, learn, mix, and mingle."
Disclosure: Geekdom, USAA, the 80/20 Foundation are business members and Graham Weston is an individual member of the Rivard Report.

How Bahrain is leading from the front on coronavirus containment
One resident said he feels there is nowhere safer as locals and experts praised proactive measures and clear communication

It was only days after returning from Oman in late February that long-term Bahrain resident Helen McKee started to feel unwell.
She went immediately to American Mission Hospital, a private non-profit medical centre in the capital Manama, to be tested for the novel coronavirus sweeping the world.
As she entered the hospital, her temperature was checked before blood and a nasal swab were taken.
She was told to expect the results that evening.

Her test came back negative for any viral infections. Had they come back positive, she would have been immediately referred to a government clinic, as part of Bahrain's aggressive approach to testing and tracing all Covid-19 patients, which have won it international plaudits as a leading example of how to handle the pandemic.
"Honestly, I felt safe going into the hospital and knowing I didn't have a temperature, even though I was wearing a mask anyway. I wanted to make sure I didn't give it to anyone," she told The National of her experience.
Ms McKee's visit to American Mission Hospital was her second round of testing.

When her plane touched down from Oman, nurses were there at immigration to look for new cases.
"A man had been asked to stay on the plane and nurses boarded wearing head-to-toe scrubs, aprons, masks, gloves and goggles as we disembarked," the Irishwoman recounted.
"As we walked through immigration, we were told to walk along one side of the corridor, where there was a nurse's station with a thermal camera, checking everyone."
As whole continents struggle to contain the spread of Covid-19, Bahrain has been praised for its efforts to tackle the crisis.
Schools have been closed indefinitely, restaurants are open only for delivery and thousands of tests have been conducted in the small island kingdom.
In recent days, all shops have been shut, gatherings of more than five people banned and a curfew has been proposed, pending a parliamentary debate.
It is also the first Arab country to confirm its participation in the World Health Organisation's "solidarity trial" experiment, a study that will compare treatment across the world to find the most effective means of fighting Covid-19, as the search for a vaccine continues.
WHO officials have praised Bahrain's "overall comprehensive approach" to the pandemic, which includes a massive contact-tracing operation and the quick provision of isolation wards.
Professor John Ashton, the former regional director of Public Health England, told BBC Newsnight how impressed he was with the island's actions, as he condemned the UK government's "complacent" response.
He is embedded with the team for coronavirus led by Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad, to whom he is an adviser.
"They set up a 'war room' five weeks ago, they're doing extensive testing, they've built in the past two weeks a camp for 3,000 pilgrims who are returning from Iran, 50 per cent of whom are turning out to be positive, and they've got a very good set-up," he said in a broadcast earlier in March.
Bahrain, which has a population of about 1.4 million, began testing for the virus early and extensively.
As of March 23, a total of 23,804 tests had been administered, the country's Ministry of Health said.
The country had reported 390 cases and two deaths as of March 24.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, received a call 11 days after she attended an exercise class because someone there had tested positive for Covid-19.
"They got the number from the owner of the business … and they asked me to present to public health the following morning for the test," she said.
On arrival at the hospital, she was given a mask and, within an hour, had been tested and asked with whom she had been in contact.
She signed a form agreeing to self-quarantine for 14 days from her last encounter with the person who tested positive, or 14 days after her nasal swab if the results came back positive.
The assistance we have received from the various ministries has been reassuring and calming
The woman was told she'd receive a call within 24 hours if she had the virus, or two to three days if she did not.
"I got a call three days after swabbing to let me know I was negative, check the details I supplied and let me know that I have now finished my self-quarantine, but still need to practise the self-isolation and social distancing that everyone else is encouraged to do at the moment," she said. "I was pretty impressed at the efficiency of the process."
People across the country are being asked to work at home, including teachers and pupils, after all educational institutions were closed on February 25.
As schools, colleges and universities move to online courses, teachers and principals have hailed the government's efforts to make it a smooth transition.
"The communication has been clear, concise and well thought through," said John Maguire, executive head of the British School of Bahrain.
"The assistance we have received from the various ministries has been reassuring and calming. When school campuses first closed, this had a large impact on us. Thankfully, the Education Ministry reassessed the situation and allowed staff to access the school safely. This adaptability, whilst maintaining safety, is highly commendable."
In the past three weeks, BSB's online learning system has been a "huge success" for all age groups, Mr Maguire said. "All students are able to maintain their full education through remote access and activities that promote independent learning."

But Mr Maguire admits that the "indefinite" closure of schools is hard to bear.
"In the school's 25-year history, this is certainly the greatest challenge that we have faced," he said.
He said its "greatest concern at this time" was for pupils who have prepared for international examinations that are unlikely to run.
On Monday, Cambridge International exams, the British body that oversees A-levels and GCSEs in more than 10,000 schools globally, cancelled tests for May and June over the pandemic.
Mr Maguire said holding exams seemed unsafe, but added that the school was were taking steps so that no pupil lost out as a result of cancellations.
"It does not seem sensible, or indeed safe, to have 250 candidates collect into a confined examinations hall, and we can fully understand why the Education Ministry will not permit the sitting of any examinations.
"We have continued to prepare and assess all candidates and can provide the awarding bodies with accurate predictions based on their likely performance. Certainly, no student should be disadvantaged by the current situation."
But he also said the school faces another major challenge – a drop in morale caused by isolation.
"The staff miss the students and the students miss each other," Mr Maguire said.

For businesses hit by shutdowns and dropping demand, the government has also stepped in with a 4.3 billion Bahraini dinar (Dh41.5bn) economic stimulus package.
The figure is equivalent to 29.6 per cent of the country's annual GDP and represents a large spending plan in a country still struggling with financial difficulties and supported by a $10bn (Dh36.7bn) financial assistance package from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as it seeks to eliminate the budget deficit by 2022.
Ryaan Sharif, managing director of Bahrain's branch of Flat6Labs, a regional start-up accelerator programme, believes the government's handling of the crisis has been "exemplary".
"As citizens, we have come to feel that there isn't a safer place to be," the Bahraini-Welsh finance expert told The National.
"The Crown Prince has led this pandemic by ensuring that both human and capital resources are readily available, and several initiatives have been made to ensure we avoid any form of economic collapse."
Ryaan Sharif, managing director of Flat6Labs Bahrain
He particularly noted the speed with which Manama had taken action.
"The government's instant recognition of Covid-19's severity has helped us maintain control of the situation," he said.
Shereen Shaltout, the co-owner of film production house I Heart Film, echoed this sentiment.
"I think they are doing a fantastic job, informing us of how to manage the situation in the workplace and constantly updating the community through their website, newspapers and online of any new development," she said.
The government has been very good at tackling fake news and highlighting social media rumours
The British-Egyptian resident said she's also been impressed by the way the dissemination of misinformation has been handled.
"The government has been very good at tackling fake news and highlighting social media rumours that may be circulating as not to create further panic within the community," she said.
A recent example of this came after a death in Bahrain's Janabiya area. While many people online speculated that it was due to the coronavirus, the Interior Ministry quickly confirmed that the early investigation pointed to suicide.
"Please only trust public health information from official sources," the ministry said on its Twitter account.
Sara Loch is the owner of DMS Global, a market intelligence and events specialist.
"I compare them to Singapore, which I think is what they're basing their plan on," she said of the authorities' approach.
"I really think they've done such a great job, and what I like as well is how people have come together and made it feel like a community. There's clarity there. It's open and clear."

The phrase "rustle up some grub" carries more meaning when insects are on the menu. Not crawling around on it, mind you, but actually listed on the menu. Entomophagy, the practice of eating insects as food, is accepted – even celebrated - in most of the world's cultures.
It's a custom that horrifies most Europeans and North Americans. But why? You really have to wonder at the selective squeamishness of people who consider snails to be a gourmet treat. Surely, it's just a short hop, or crawl, from snail to grasshopper, termite, or caterpillar.
Consider the benefits of incorporating insects into your diet.
•	High protein, low fat. Hamburger is 18% protein and 18% fat. In contrast, moth larvae are 63% protein and 15% fat. Grasshoppers make high protein, low fat snacks that are relatively high in calcium and iron.
•	Environmental benefits. Insects are low on the food chain, require minimal space and resources to raise, and have a better feed to meat ratio than more common farm animals like sheep, cows, chickens, and hogs. They don't require a lot of cropland or expensive petroleum-based fertilizers. You can grow them right in your apartment!
•	Wilderness survival. Military manuals routinely include information about edible insects. In 1996, Scott O'Grady had to be thankful for that training. After being shot down in Bosnia, the Air Force captain evaded Serbian searchers for six days. He survived by using sponges to soak up water and eating grasshoppers. Ok. So maybe you'll never have your F-16 shot down behind enemy lines, but people get lost in the woods every day.
•	Money saving. Why waste money on bait, tackle, and other expensive fishing equipment when you could just eat the bait instead? Entomophagy is a great way to grow food in a very small space at low cost. And just think; you'll rarely be asked to contribute a dish to potluck meals.
Insects aren't always a cheap food source. Prepared foods almost always cost more than homemade. Just two Chicken Stuffed Waterbugs will set you back $8 at the Typhoon Restaurant in Santa Monica, California. But, in general, insects provide high-quality protein at relatively low cost.
It's estimated that between 50% and 80% of the world's people intentionally eat insects in some form. Over 1200 edible insects have been identified.
•	Termites are an important food source in some parts of Africa. They're commonly roasted or fried. Adult queen termites (who may reach three inches or more in length) are considered delicacies.
•	Locusts. Subsistence farmers have a strategy for dealing with locust swarms: they eat them. Locusts eat their weight in food each day and one ton of locusts (a tiny swarm) can eat enough food for 2500 people in one day. Farmers in Western Africa deal with the resulting destruction by consuming the culprits. Locusts may be dried, barbequed on skewers, or stuffed with peanuts and fried.
•	Grasshoppers and Cicadas. Along with crickets, these are some of the most widely consumed insects. They're often served covered in chocolate. They can also be served roasted or boiled (although many people think that boiling destroys the distinctive, crunchy texture).
•	Tarantulas are popular in Latin America. They're served fire-roasted, fried, or covered in sauces. Savor the crunchy legs contrasted against the soft, chewy middle portion.
•	Mealworms are probably the most common entry-level insect. They're easy to find, inexpensive, and quite versatile. They can be chopped to make spreads and sandwich fillings, dried and used in place of nuts and raisins in recipes, or ground into flour for baking.
While every culture has some food taboos, very few eschew insects entirely. Even observant Jews who follow kosher dietary laws are permitted to eat four species of grasshoppers – although relatively few actually do.
One culture's "yuck" is another culture's "yum!"
Every cook knows that the secret to yummy food is to use quality ingredients and careful preparation techniques. Entomophagy enthusiasts have published several popular cookbooks that provide specific preparation instructions and recipes. Check out these for ideas: Man Eating Bugs; Eat-A-Bug Cookbook, and Creepy Crawly Cuisine.
•	Never eat insects that were dead when you found them; chances are they've been poisoned.
•	Be careful about collecting insects in the wild, particularly around cultivated fields. They may be contaminated with pesticides.
•	Always remove the stingers and boil wasps before eating to neutralize the poison.
•	Refrigerate live grasshoppers and crickets before cooking. The cooler temperature slows them down and makes them easier to handle.
•	Be careful with the super size mealworms (those that are about three inches long with a hard skin). They're very mobile and do bite – although the bites aren't serious.
•	Wait 24 hours before eating purchased insects. This gives them time to empty their digestive tracts.
If you're thinking "there's no way I'd ever eat bugs," get ready for some bad news.
It's almost impossible to completely rid foods of insects and insect parts, so the US Food and Drug Administration sets standards for the amount of contamination that renders the food unsafe or unacceptable.
•	100 grams of chocolate must have fewer than 60 insect fragments.
•	Macaroni and noodle products should contain fewer than 225 insect fragments in 225 grams of product.
•	Canned peas are rejected if they contain an average of 5 or more cowpea curculio larvae or the equivalent per No. 2 can.
•	Golden raisins must have fewer than 10 or more whole or equivalent insects and 35 Drosophila eggs per 8 oz.
•	Apples too insect-ridden to be sold for fresh eating are used to make apple cider.
The average adult consumer has already inadvertently consumed a pound or more of insects and insect parts. Like most of the world's population, you've eaten insects and enjoyed them – even if you didn't realize it.
Sometimes it's just a matter of perspective. Would honey be as popular if the label read "Bee Vomit" instead? Maybe the solution is to find more familiar names for insect dishes. Names that make them sound like comfort food instead of something out of a Star Trek movie.
Do Your Kitchen Chopping Techniques Cut It in the Kitchen?
as you probably know, beekeepers whom are soley raising bees to sell the byproducts? of the bees (wax, honey etc etc) they will kill the bees in the fall..
However, he had said that the vacume cleaner he uses to kill them with, turns them into a mushy substance..
Could someone still dehydrate this substance, or simply add to a protien shake, and bottoms up? What becomes of the stingers? Would they be dangerious to me?
I am interested in adding more protien to my diet, stereotypically when someone want's to add muscle, they eat loads of red meat,? however that is NOT good for you, and I see entomophagy as a healthy choice.
In general, since the invention of the Langstroth movable frame hive in the mid 1800's, killing bees at the end of the season is no longer a common practice. Beekeepers can get into a hive, extract honey, wax, propolis, and even royal jelly, all without killing the whole hive.
I am a beekeeper, and I know that building a hive up from scratch in the spring costs a lot of bee resources to build out a new hive. For example, bees will consume about 11 lbs of honey to produce 1 lb of wax. Thus, beekeepers generally consider fully drawn frames of beeswax and strong colonies as a valuable resource for maximizing yields from their beeyards.
As far as eating bees goes, I saw an article on TV once about making fried bee larva as a food, so I don't think that bees are toxic. I would imagine that grinding the bees to a paste would also eliminate any problems with the stingers being long enough to still sting. Bees stingers have a little pump attached, so that when a live bee stings you, the pump is actually pulled out of her body and the pump continues to inject the venom into your skin.
The pump obviously would not be working in the bee paste, but the venom would still be "in the mix," so if you showed any alergic reaction to bee stings, I would be very cautious about injesting them, in ANY form.

Сицилианското канòло (, в мн. ч. каноли) е един от най-известните специалитети на сицилианското сладкарство. Като такъв е официално признат и включен в Списъка на традиционните италиански хранително-вкусови продукти на италианското Министерството на земеделието, храните и горите.

Първоначално канолите се правят за карнавала. С течение на времето те започват да се радват на забележително разпространение в Италия, като бързо се превръщат в известен пример за италианското сладкарско изкуство по света.

История
Името "каноло" идва от речните тръстики, около които тестото е било навивано допреди няколко десетилетия по време на неговото приготвяне. Според една хипотеза десертът е създаден в древни времена, за да отпразнува карнавалът. Според други той има древноримски или сарацински произход.

Първото описание на каноло е дадено от херцог Алберто Денти ди Пирайно, който в книгата си "Сицилианци на масата" (Siciliani a tavola) пише: Tubus farinarius dulcissimo edulio ex lacte fartus. Според него определението се дължи на Цицерон (квестор на Лилибеум, днешна Марсала, между 76 и 75 г. пр.н.е.). В "Сицилианско-италианско-латински речник" (Dizionario Siciliano-Italiano-Latino), издаден в Палермо през 1751 г., авторът Микеле дел Боно пише: ,Канола: къдрави коси. къдрави. cincinni [за много тънка паста, обработена във формата на тръстика, пълна с бяло за ядене. Tubus farinarius dulcissimo edulio ex lacte fartus]", и ясно се забелязва как лемата на сицилиански съответства на определението на италиански и следователно на латински.Освен това Пино Коренти в своята "Златна книга на сицилианската кухня и вина" (Libro d'oro della cucina e dei vini della Sicilia), цитирайки латинския израз на Де Боно, само загатва за факта, че дефиницията е широко разпространена от векове в описание на канолото на латински. Той също така твърди, че то е изобретено от изкусните ръце на монахините в манастир близо до Калтанисета, като се започне от древна римска рецепта, усъвършенствана след това от арабите. Според широко разпространена традиция канолото дължи името си на карнавална шега, която се състои в това да оставиш крема от рикотата да изтече от канолото като вода, като "каноло" на диалект означава нещо като кран.

Въпреки че десертът е роден в Калтанисета, той все още дължи голяма част от своята слава и световно разпространение на сладкарите от Палермо, които помагат за утвърждаването на рецептата такава, каквато я познаваме днес, но и на сладкарите от Месина, които също така създават вида каноло с тъмна рикота и шоколадов крем.

Сарацински произход
Говори се, че жените от харема в Кастело ди Пиетраросо на господаря на тогавашния Qalc'at al-Nissa (Калтанисета) са първите, които създават рецептата. На това място, според предадената ни традиция, сарацинските емири са държали своите хареми и тук за първи път десертът е създаден от наложниците, може би като смътна фалическа почит към своите мъже. Те изглежда се вдъхновяват от древноримски десерт, за който говори Цицерон.

По време на дългите отсъствия на съпрузите си, за да запълнят времето си, жените от този харем са се посвещавали в приготвянето на сложни ястия и сладкиши; следователно те, пак според предадената традиция, променят вече съществуващ арабски десерт, направен от рикота, бадеми и мед, преработвайки го по римската рецепта, спомената от Цицерон, и по този начин дават живот на специалитет, който по-късно става универсално известен. С края на арабското господство в Сицилия харемите изчезват и не може да се изключи, че някои от фаворитките, приели християнската вяра, се оттеглят в манастирите, като вземат със себе си рецептите, които са разработили за дворовете на емирите. Следователно според традицията сицилианските каноли са една от рецептите, предадени от мюсюлманските жени на техните християнски сестри, които започват да правят каноли първоначално по време на карнавала, а след това – през цялата година.

Приготвяне

Канолото се състои от вафла от пържено тесто (наречена scòrza и дълга от 15 до 20 см и с диаметър 4 - 5 см) и пълнеж от рикота от овче мляко. За вафлата се оформят малки дискове тесто (от меко пшенично брашно, вино, захар и свинска мас), които се навиват на малки метални тръбички и след това се пържат, традиционно в свинска мас, а днес и в по-евтини мазнини. Според изследователите първоначално използваното брашно е майорка – меко пшенично брашно за сладкиши, широко разпространено в Сицилия до 1950-те години. Преди съвременните закони за хигиена тестото се е разточвало на малки цилиндри, получени чрез изрязване на нормални речни тръстики, които дават името на сладкиша, но днес те са направени от стомана. Традиционният пълнеж се състои от пресята и подсладена рикота от овче мляко. След това към пълнежа се добавят захаросани плодове и шоколадови пръчици, а накрая канолите се поръсват с пудра захар.

В Източна Сицилия и по-специално в района на Рагуза по традиция се използва ricotta iblea (кравешка, често от крава от породата Модикана) с по-деликатен вкус от класическата овча рикота.

Канолите трябва да се пълнят, когато дойде време за ядене. Това е така, защото с течение на времето влагата на рикотата се абсорбира от вафлата и тя губи своята хрупкавост. За да избегнат това неудобство, някои сладкари намазват вътрешната повърхност на канолото с разтопен шоколад: по този начин обвивката не се накисва и остава хрупкава за по-дълго.

Любопитно

В чест на сицилианския десерт на 2 февруари 2014 г. компютърните специалисти Паоло и Фабрицио Капасо и режисьорите Фабио Леоне и Антонела Барбера със специалното разрешение на органите, отговарящи за полетите, пускат в стратосферата балон, съдържащ копие на сицилиански каноли от природния парк Рока дел Черере в Ена.

От 2021 г. канолото и сладкото вино Пасито ди Пантелерия са изобразени на една от празничните монети от 5 евро. Италианското Министерството на икономиката и финансите съвместно с Полиграфския институт и Държавния монетен двор отдават почит на чувството за национален съюз и сплотеност, като създава специална нумизматична колекция, вдъхновена от историята, изкуството, спорта, науката, природата и италианското кулинарно съвършенство, от които каноло и пасито са част.

Our EXC In-Depth Voyage is back in the South Pacific island-hopping among some stunning locales! EXC In-Depth Onboard Exploration Leader Mark Read sent some Field Notes and excellent photos from New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Enjoy this installment, and stay tuned as the ship continues its exploration in the Pacific Ocean.
Glorious weather greeted Maasdam as we sailed into Nouméa on the first stop on this voyage. We were welcomed into port by numerous storm petrels skimming the ocean in front of the ship. Guests disembarked to undertake a number of EXC shore excursions, as well as others investigating local options on the day. A small number of more adventurous people headed out to the Blue River National Park on a quest to see a Kagu, a bird endemic to New Caledonia. The intrepid travellers managed to see a Kagu within five minutes of searching. How's that for good luck!? Back in Nouméa, the local markets were in full swing, first with an assault on the senses as you wandered with locals and tourists alike amongst the seafood and produce stalls, and then the riotous colours of the local gift stalls, accompanied by the frenetic activity of the traders marketing their wares. As it was Sunday, many of the local stores were closed, but there were plenty of opportunities to walk the streets and appreciate this old city with its colonial architecture and blend of French and native Kanak heritage.
With Maasdam at anchor just off the town of Tadine, adventurous guests embarked on the Zodiacs for an EXC In-Depth exploration of Tadine and Pede Bay. Almost immediately we started to see green turtles bobbing on the surface, taking some breaths between munching on their breakfast of seagrasses and algae. Some animals dived hurriedly when they saw us, not expecting to see a small flotilla of Zodiacs. The numerous fringing and patch reefs supported a huge diversity of corals and fish – a kaleidoscope of colour revealed in detail using the viewing cones.
Guests using the viewing cones to observe the coral reefs of Tadine.
The land drops off very abruptly around the island of Maré, meaning that species you would ordinarily expect to see in deeper waters are present right beside the coast. This was evident by the schools of flying fish that would take flight and flee the Zodiacs, soaring away from the boats using their modified pectoral fins – much to the delight of everyone on board. All of this was played out beneath the amazing backdrop of the ancient limestone cliffs and ridges of this beautiful island, created by fossilised limestone of ages past. Exposed cliffs pockmarked with caves and crevices created homes for other animals, with swallows seen darting in and out of these inaccessible hidey holes.
The guests and crew alike got to enjoy the delights of Mystery Island, tiny sister island to Aneityum Island, the most southerly in Vanuatu. With the Maasdam riding at anchor nearby, guests disembarked to undertake a number of EXC tours above or below the water.
The Massdam's Zodiacs were lowered over the side for an EXC In-Depth exploration around the island, including using the viewing cones to observe the local coral and fish life. Guests who traded towels for mask and snorkel were rewarded with sightings of different species of colourful triggerfish, and one of the resident green turtles also put in an appearance, swimming by smiling guests and naturalists alike. Onshore, guests accompanied one of the naturalist-drivers for a guided walk of the island, talking about the vegetation and admiring the intricate and often messy webs of the resident orb weaver spiders.
If you'd like to join one of these amazing adventures, check out our EXC In-Depth itineraries. Stay tuned to the EXC In-Depth Field Notes as Maasdam makes way to Alaska!

Timothy Fosu-Mensah reveals his club ambitions for next season
June 16, 2018 Aswin News, NewsNow 0
Netherlands international Timothy Fosu-Mensah is keen to make a mark with Manchester United next season following a year-loan loan spell with Crystal Palace, where he made 21 appearances in the Premier League.
Fosu-Mensah has always been highly-rated among the club's supporters but he has yet to convince Jose Mourinho of his abilities with the Portuguese recently sanctioning a deal for Diogo Dalot.
Regardless of this, the 20-year-old believes he is ready to face the best in the top competitions and does not feel age should be taken into account when speaking about his club ambitions.
He told FunX: "I do not want to hear that I am young and that my time is still coming, I want to reach the top as quickly as possible, that's me. The top is World Cup, European Championship, Champions League final, which is the top for me, winning prizes."
With Dalot at the club, Fosu-Mensah's chances at right-back may be diminished further but he has the opportunity to prove his credentials during the club's pre-season tour of the United States.
During his time at Palace, Fosu-Mensah also plyed his trade at the heart of the backline but this is certainly not a position where he may enjoy gametime with the vast competition for places.

Maria Martin-Grau, at the University of Valencia, Spain is selected for the 2022 Novelties in Biomarkers award
17.11.2022 14:00:00 CET | GlobeNewswire by notified
UPPSALA, Sweden, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olink Holding AB (publ) (Nasdaq: OLK) is proud to announce the 2022 winner of the young researchers' award, Novelties in Biomarkers,Maria Martin-Grau at the University of Valencia, Spain at the Biomarkers of the Future conference in Paris, France.
Novelties in Biomarkers is an annual award established in 2019 by Olink Proteomics with the purpose of encouraging and motivating young scientists in the use of biomarker discovery in their research.
This year's theme Biomarkers in 2023: Emerging applications attracted over 30 abstract submissions, with participants representing countries from five continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America). The abstracts cover more than ten different fields including Infectious diseases, Neurology, Metabolism, Cardiology, Oncology, Hepatology. The scientific committee judging the award comprised Professor Alexandre Mebazaa, Chair of the meeting (Paris, France), Professor Antoni Bayes-Genis (Barcelona, Spain), Doctor Jane-Lise Samuel, chair of the Jury (Paris, France), Professor Jelena Čelutkienė (Vilnius, Lithuania) and Professor Camille Gobeaux (Paris, France).
"Proteomics is still a relatively new and rapidly growing field of research. However, the sharp rise in demand for proteomics has created a global shortage of skilled researchers within the field. Universities alone cannot supply the competence that the world is demanding," said Professor Alexandre Mebazaa, vice-dean for international affairs at the faculty of health department of the Université de Paris, Head of anesthesia and critical care of the Saint Louis-Lariboisière - Fernand Widal University Hospitals and Director of Inserm-MASCOT research group. "Innovative institutional and industry initiatives are essential to encourage young researchers to explore the new frontiers of proteomics and translate these for clinical use. The Novelties in Biomarkers award is a pioneering award that sets an example for this entire field of research, and the huge interest in the award is a testament to that."
The Biomarker of the Future conference brings together international key opinion leaders along with young fellows, senior researchers, and industry partners, all focusing on biomarker discovery and research. The meeting is directed to the application of high-throughput targeted proteomics as a key tool to understand biology and pathophysiology, as well as identify protein biomarkers for early diagnosis and progression of major complex diseases.
"To learn proteomics today, young researchers from different continents need more and equal opportunities to interact with senior scientists. The Novelties in Biomarkers award is Olink's response to address the skills gap and secure future competence within the discipline. As a company it is important for Olink to have its ear on the ground and celebrate some of the very best young researchers in the field." said Henk Mouthaan, Vice President Salesand Marketing EMEA, Olink.
The conference is supported by Olink Proteomics. The institutional partners are Université de Paris, Institut de science cardiovasculaire, Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (Inserm), Investigation Network Initiative-Cardiovascular and Renal Clinical Trialists (INI-CRCT), GREAT Association (Global research on acute conditions team).

In mathematics, Cohn's theorem states that a nth-degree self-inversive polynomial   has as many roots in the open unit disk  as the reciprocal polynomial of its derivative. Cohn's theorem is useful for studying the distribution of the roots of self-inversive and self-reciprocal polynomials in the complex plane.

An nth-degree polynomial,

is called self-inversive if there exists a fixed complex number (  ) of modulus 1 so that,

where

is the reciprocal polynomial associated with     and the bar means complex conjugation. Self-inversive polynomials have many interesting properties. For instance, its roots are all symmetric with respect to the unit circle and a polynomial whose roots are all on the unit circle is necessarily self-inversive. The coefficients of self-inversive polynomials satisfy the relations.

In the case where     a self-inversive polynomial becomes a complex-reciprocal polynomial (also known as a self-conjugate polynomial).  If its coefficients are real then it becomes a real self-reciprocal polynomial.

The formal derivative of  is a (n − 1)th-degree polynomial given by

Therefore, Cohn's theorem states that both  and the polynomial

Q: Double boot choice I am keeping in my system both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Initially I had Grub2 as boot loader. Afterward I swapped back to the Windows Boot-loader, adding an entry for Linux through EasyBCD.
Now, when I start the computer, the Windows boot loader asks for a choice between Windows and Linux. After having selected Linux, the previous Grub2 loader comes in asking which system I would like to start. So is there a way to avoid that grub2 prompts again which system to boot, automatically loading Linux?

A: Try changing the GRUB timeout to 0.
First, type sudo gedit /etc/default/grub in the terminal.  Enter your password and a window will appear.
Locate this line: GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 or something similar to that.
Change 10 to 0.  Now the line should look like this: GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
Then save the file and close the window.  Last, type sudo update-grub and reboot.
Done!
