Q: Teach Mathematica analytical continuation of the gamma function If I ask Mathematica to compute the gamma function for me
Integrate[Exp[-s] s^(a - 1), {s, 0, Infinity}]

It dutifully returns to me
ConditionalExpression[Gamma[a], Re[a] > 0]

However, we all know that we can analytically continue this function to the left half plane (safe for nonpositive integers). I would thus like mathematica to understand that when I type
Integrate[Exp[-s] s^(-3/2), {s, 0, Infinity}]

I want it to return $\Gamma(-1/2) = -2 \sqrt{\pi} $ to me. (Although I understand that mathematically speaking it might not be strictly speaking correct as the integral really is not convergent.) Similarly, I want it to understand that $\int_0^\infty e^{-s z} s^{a-1} ds \;\;``="\;\; z^{-a} \;\Gamma(a) $ when $a$ is in the left half plane.
How do I efficiently teach Mathematica to recognise this analytic continuation?
Thank you for your help!

Rangers' Adam Fox is getting tougher and it helps to have Ryan Reaves as a backup
GREENBURGH, NY – Adam Fox laughed Saturday when it was suggested to him that he's gotten a little more eager than usual in the past week.
In the game against the Islanders on Wednesday, Fox looked red and went after Islander striker Jean-Gabriel Pageau as he did not like the high blow that Pageau put on his defensive partner, Ryan Lindgren. And on Friday, Fox got into it with his childhood friend Charlie McAvoy after McAvoy stumbled upon Kevin Rooney in the final minute of the Rangers' 5-2 win over the Bruins in Boston.
"I do not know if that's exactly my game, but sometimes you have to get in there," he said. "Hopefully it doesn't happen too many more times."
"Everyone feels like they have each other's backs, and whether you're not the coolest guy or it might not be part of your game, [if] you see something you do not like, sometimes you have to step up and do something, " he continued. "It may not always be to knock a guy out or something, but you just have to let other teams know that things like dirty punches or something like that are not just being swept under the rug."
Much of that, Fox said, has to do with the presence of enforcer Ryan Reaves on the team. Although play is no longer a big part of the game – and Reaves only has one game this season – just makes everyone feel braver if you have one of the most feared fighters in the league in a row.
"To have him on the bench [allows] all to 'breathe out' a little more and feel a little more secure, " Fox said. "Of course he also keeps other teams' guys a little in check. And maybe they can not take that many liberties. [They've] must answer him if they do something he does not like. So yes, I think having a guy like him gives everyone the opportunity to play a little bigger, for sure. "

Which was exactly the point of getting him, coach Gerard Gallant said.
"One hundred percent," Gallant said. "I had him in Vegas and I know what he's all about. You play a lot more comfortably with a guy like him in your lineup. And he's played well for us, so it's been perfect."
Reaves has played 16 games (he missed four games with a lower body injury) and has an average ice time of 9:56 per game. match. He has had three assists [including a gorgeous one on Kevin Rooney's second goal against the Islanders Wednesday] and 11 penalty minutes. He is clearly the team leader in hits with 75. Chris Kreider is number two on the team with 47.
"He has that one game, but I mean you also see the way he plays, he throws some big hits," Fox said of Reaves. "He can change the momentum in a second, and yes, just his presence will definitely change the attitude of the team a little bit."
Fox said he and McAvoy talked together after Friday's game, and everything is patched up between them.
"It was not too bad," he said. "We grew up together and know each other pretty well, but you know when the game starts, it's not too many friends out there."

Audi RS 3 Sportback review: First drive
Faster than its rivals
Remarkably refined
Interior is uninspiring
Bloody expensive
Ben Griffin reviews the new Audi RS 3 Sportback, the first of the new A3 family to receive the mighty RS badge. This functional but fun hatch packs a mighty power output of 362bhp and a 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds.
Competition is fierce in the hot-hatch category, with the new Honda Civic Type R, Seat Leon Cupra 280, BMW M135i, Mercedes A45 AMG and the VW Golf R all offering supreme performance in a practical package. Now we have something that makes them all look a bit weedy.
The new Audi RS 3 Sportback combines quattro all-wheel drive with a brutally fast and insanely loud five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbo petrol engine to devastating effect. We headed to the Cotswolds and later the historic Shelsley Walsh hill climb to see just how devastating.
As the first RS model based on the new A3, the RS 3 Sportback is a nice mix of fresh and familiar. It is slightly longer than the three-door and just that bit roomier as a result, meaning a bit more legroom for tall folk.
"Audi reckons most spend an average of £8,000 on optional extras, which is perhaps why it doesn't bother giving much away for free."Those extra doors break up flow of the design. Luckily a dose of RS 3 insanity such as the ridiculously large twin-oval exhaust pipes, RS 3 body styling, 19-inch alloy wheels and the RS 3 badges give it presence without being over-the-top. Standard LED headlights are a welcome addition.
While the interior is built well and has a few neat design touches (Audi's infotainment system and controller is one of the most natural to use), it's lacking in flair. This is an expensive machine and one that celebrates 21 years of the RS badge, so why such little difference between it and the new A3 and S3? At £40,000, we feel it warrants something more.
You'll have to fork out a fair few quid to tart it up with an Alcantara steering wheel and the stylish grey leather seats seen in our test car. Audi reckons most spend an average of £8,000 on optional extras, which is perhaps why it doesn't bother giving much away for free.
With a 280-litre boot, there are better hatchbacks on the market for space. But you can fold the seats down and enjoy a more convenient 1,120 litres if you persuade your rear passengers to walk home.
The new RS 3 Sportback is 4,343mm long so it has grown 41mm compared with the outgoing model. That means more comfort for those in the back. It's also 6mm wider and the wheelbase is 43mm longer, improving cabin space.
The A45 AMG is better than the RS 3 when it comes to boot space, at 341 litres, but neither can match the Type R's ridiculous 498 litres so look elsewhere if you regularly do booze cruises or want to make the most of your Ikea trips.
Performance & handling
Audi has bestowed the RS 3 Sportback with a 2.5-litre, five-cylinder TFSI petrol engine that is a mere 49cm in length and 180kg in weight. Ignore the pint-sized proportions though, this is an engine that can cause you to momentarily lose control of your sphincter.
When you eventually feel brave enough to push the go-fast pedal through the floor, the car and its built-in launch control hurtles forward like a high-speed train has just piled into the back of you. A gloriously throaty crescendo no other hatchback even comes close to then alerts you and anyone in a 4-mile vicinity just how fast you are travelling.
Power output is a healthy 362bhp (367PS), available between 5,550rpm and 6,800rpm, while torque is 343lb/ft (465Nm) from 1,625 to 5,550rpm, so even with a bit of turbo lag the car can overtake just about anything without trying.
"Ignore the pint-sized proportions though, this is an engine that can cause you to momentarily lose control of your sphincter."But even at its most brutal, you never feel afraid. The quattro all-wheel drive system does a great job of keeping you from getting into fights with immovable objects you will never win. Push the RS 3 Sportback too hard and it will understeer in controlled fashion. There's just enough steering feel to keep you from pushing your luck.
The 370mm floating wave discs are designed to dissipate heat more quickly (an idea borrowed from Ducati) plus 8-piston calipers provide oodles of stopping power in a progressive fashion. It is, therefore, difficult not to drive the RS 3 hard.
Take it steady and the car quietens down nicely (unless you leave the transmission in sport, which makes the exhaust louder) to the point where motorways are a pleasure. It trundles along with such low revs in seventh that the national speed limit feels glacial.
That's a huge part of the appeal. Pull up at the lights and no one will suspect a thing because the stop-start has kicked in and the five-cylinder is wonderfully relaxed at low revs. Push the pedal hard and all hell erupts.
The RS 3 rides surprisingly well despite its performance. It is composed on motorways and can handle the odd pothole. Audi's optional magnetic ride adaptive damping system, which can adjust damping in a matter of milliseconds to suit the road, is a big part of that. It offers a nice balance of sportiness and stiffness, which is what you want when most UK roads are falling apart.
Economy & efficiency
All that power does come at the expense of CO2 efficiency and fuel economy, which may be a turn off for some. But then with a claimed 34.9mpg and 189g/km of CO2, the RS 3 Sportback still does a commendable job of keeping running costs low.
We tested the car on a mixture of A- and B-roads, occasionally taking it easy and occasionally driving like our lives depended on it, yet managed around 24mpg.
The Stop-start system is the latest generation and now offers a tad more coasting, meaning a few extra pennies are saved when you come to a halt. Weight saving of 55kg versus the outgoing RS 3 Sportback (unladen weight is 1,595kg), meanwhile, is a noteworthy part of the equation.
Equipment & value
Value for money is hardly synonymous with a hatchback that starts from £39,955, especially as a few extras can send the price north of £50,000.
Optional extras include carbon ceramic brakes, which are potentially unnecessary unless you love track days. We would rather spend our money on improving the interior, which is annoyingly similar to the standard A3 and S3.
You can also go for a Bang & Olufsen audio system, which sounds the business, and the diamond-quilted RS Super Sports seats in Fine Nappa leather seen in our test car. Given the styling and comfort, these are a tempting upgrade. An RS sports exhaust system, meanwhile, adds even more bark for your buck.
"We would rather spend our money on improving the interior, which is annoyingly similar to the standard A3 and S3."The all-wheel drive VW Golf R is only a bit slower but about £6,000 cheaper before you start pimping it with extras and the Leon Cupra 280 is cheaper still. Honda's new Civic Type R, which is almost as fast in the top speed department, can be had in its top-spec GT model for £33,000.
Then there's the BMW M135i, which is perhaps the closest in raw performance terms, and that's around the £33,000-mark in five-door guise.
In short, you are paying a premium for the absolute best performance in this class. Whether that's worth the extra depends on your bank balance and if you can mentally justify a sixth of a house on what is essentially a souped-up A3. If it helps, the residuals are said to be the highest in its class, at 54 per cent.
The new RS 3 Sportback inherits the five-star rating of the standard A3, which means it will keep you very safe should the worst happen. Audi's active lane assist can also be specced for a little extra reassurance.
Audi has done a fine job of incorporating RS insanity into the latest A3 and the refinement, performance and efficiency improvements mean it's a far better proposition than most of its rivals.
Where the RS 3 Sportback falls down slightly is in how easy and accessible it sometimes feels to drive. Sure it's luducisoulsly fast, but like the Golf R and Scirocco R its refinement and comfort numbs the feeling of speed and excitement. The BMW M135i is a more involving drive, arguably better looking and substantially less expensive.
That said, its glorious exhaust note and mind-bending pace will impress you time and time again. And, let's be honest, not everyone wants to feel like they're wrestling with a bear every time they go for a drive.
Choosing the RS 3 Sportback over its competitors, then, makes sense if you really must have the fastest hatchback money can buy. If you want supercar pace and decent practicality in a relatively understated package, its definitely up there with the absolute best.

The Scientific Research Steering Committee is tasked with developing sophisticated weapons like stealth aircraft.
The Chinese military has set up a dedicated research wing on lines similar to the Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). Though the military research arm was launched early this year, its existence was revealed for the first time only this week when the state broadcaster CCTV aired a documentary.
It is still unclear whether the military-related revelation was intentional or accidental during the 10-part series titled Carrying Reform Through to the End. The documentary, broadcast on 23 and 24 July, showed how the Central Military Commission (CMC) has set up a new committee to develop state-of-the-art weapons.
The Scientific Research Steering Committee has been tasked with research operations for developing state-of-the-art weapons such as electromagnetic cannons and stealth aircraft. The research agency directly falls under the CMC, chaired by President Xi Jinping himself.
"We should make greater efforts to promote scientific technology in our army if we want to win the competitive advantage," said a voice-over in the documentary, according to the South China Morning Post.
"As everyone knows, the internet, global positioning systems, stealth fighters, electromagnetic guns, laser weapons as well as other advanced technologies – most are Darpa-related," added the narrator in the background.
Ever since Xi took charge as president in 2012, modernising the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been at the forefront of his military policies. As part of his push for military overhaul, the Chinese military pressed the country's first stealth fighter, J20, into service in March 2017 and came up with a new integration electrical propulsion system (IEPS) for naval vessels.
"The steering committee will play a consultative role to help the CMC to decide on projects at an early stage," Song Zhongping, a Hong Kong-based military analyst, was quoted as saying. "Funding, resources and the detailed implementation of these projects will be overseen by some of the 15 functional departments under the CMC."

Note: Anyone who attends a workshop/class has the option of an in-person session within 8 weks or so of participation (fee extra).
Imagine sitting on some high, floaty cloud. You and your Angel, Guide, or other Spiritual being, have been discussing your next life, the one you are about to be born into. Still in a state of bliss, you are feeling fairly spiritually confident that you can achieve your intended purposes. Just before you leave the cloud and begin a new life, the Angel, Guide or other Spiritual being whispers into your ear who your family will be. "But wait..." you yell. No time to comment or protest, you have returned. Your heart is now beating in rhythm with your family.
Besides mates, friends and bosses, the influence of family also informs our attitudes towards money, work, politics, diet and health. Betrayal, shame, fears, anxieties and addictions may also be a part of the family pathology. These are wounds. Wounds can be healed but before they can be healed, the history needs to be revealed. Your Birth Chart is encoded with this awareness.
Tribal Troubles will explore all of these dynamics and how we can release and resolve them. Using your Birth Chart, we will dive deep into family patterns and any generational trauma signatures (yes, they show up in your Birth Chart). Knowing, accepting, healing and releasing these energies helps you understand your past choices, your current situations and your future possibilities.
Our intention is for you to understand the low or high hum of kinship energy. It is not about blaming Mom or Dad. Remember that brief chat you had on that high, floaty cloud? Perhaps not, but remember your family is karmic. This means they are core to your life purpose.


The default database size limit for Exchange 2007 Standard Edition RTM is 50 gigabytes (GB). In Exchange 2007 Standard Edition SP1 the limit is 250GB. There is no default database size limit for the Exchange 2007 Enterprise Edition. The Exchange store process checks database size limits periodically and dismounts a database when the size limit is reached. A warning is logged using Event ID 9685 which tells you that the database has exceeded the size limit. You can modify the database size limit by adding or changing a value in the registry.
Database Size Limit is a useful way for administrators to have control over their Exchange environment. The Exchange server will react by dismounting the store if the size gets out of hand, and it is a good way to be sure that the database size never outgrows the logical partition it resides on.
Wow, someone has correctly explained this…I wish I had found it before I spent so much time trying to figure out how to see that the new max setting was actually applied to the database. BTW – I used a 32 bit dword. It would be nice if MS documented the details for those of us wishing to set this up correctly BEFORE we migrate our users to the new database.
Thanks for sharing this helpful post to overcome the size limit in Exchange server 2007. Also, It is strongly recommended to back up your database before going to edit the registry. Incorrectly editing the registry data can create some serious problems like database corruption and data loss. In case of data loss situation in your Exchange Server database, you need to go for an advanced Exchange Server recovery tool like Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange recovery software that will help you to recover lost and deleted data.


This article gives information on attractions near and around Brindavan Gardens, Mysore, Karnataka.
Many visitors to the Brindavan Gardens in Mysore generally visit go sight-seeing in the city of Mysore. Yes, there are plenty of attractions in Mysore, but there are equally enjoyable attractions near the Brindavan Gardens.
These two waterfalls are off the main road that goes towards the Krishnaraja Sagar Dam. The Balmuri and Edmuri waterfalls are easy to locate, thanks to the helpful sign boards that indicate the direction to find them. The Balmuri and Edmuri waterfalls were created when a small dam was constructed to check the force of the Cauvery River. Since the single dam created these two waterfalls, they are popularly referred to as "twin" waterfalls. Balamuri is so-named because it is the waterfall on the right side of the dam ('bala' means right in the local Kannada language); and Edmuri is so-named because it is the waterfall on the left side of the dam ('eda' means left in the local Kannada language).
It is to be noted, though, that these waterfalls are not exactly majestic gallons of water falling from a great height. They are not falls in the actual sense of the term, but just gushing water bodies dropping to a few feet. So don't expect something like the Niagara Falls! The water of the Balmuri and Edmuri falls is quite cold, but nevertheless it is fun to splash around in it. Thanks to the abundant greenery around, the sites of the Balmuri and Edmuri falls has become a haunt of picnickers and tourists heading for the Brindavan Gardens.
The ancient Ranganathaswamy Temple is located in the city of Srirangapatna, about 127km from Bengaluru. Let's digress a little …Srirangapatna is not exactly a city in the way you picture one – grandiose commercial buildings and upmarket shopping arcades. Rather, it is a town with a major historical significance – Tipu Sultan, a one-time ruler of Mysore State, had made this town the capital of his State. In fact, at that time the town was literally a fortress with awesome ramparts acting as a deterrent to invaders.
Getting back to information on the Ranganathaswamy Temple: The temple is dedicated to the Indian God Lord Vishnu. The reason why this is one place you should visit on your way to the Brindavan Gardens is the exquisite craftsmanship. The large stone temple structure is supported by massive pillars and the walls are lined with detailed carvings. When you step in, you instantly drop your voice, awed by the deep silence that pervades the place of worship. The silence is occasionally broken by the ringing of the big temple bells as devotees seek the blessings of the deities within the inner sanctum. Take a close look at the Chaturvimsati pillars located just before the inner sanctum – the various incarnations of Lord Vishnu are carved on these pillars. The idol of Lord Vishnu in the inner sanctum is in a reclining form on a bed created by the serpent Aadi Sesha. Within the same temple complex, there are also smaller temples - one dedicated to the Goddess of the River Cauvery; one to Gowtama muni; and one to Lord Krishna.
The Dariya Daulat Mahal is located within a short distance of the Ranganathaswamy Temple. During the reign of Tipu Sultan, he used this palace as his home during the summer months. Surrounding the entire palace is a vast garden known as Daria Daulat Bagh.
A unique aspect of the Dariya Daulat Mahal is that the structure is primarily made from teakwood. Even more incredible, every arch, pillar and wall space is closely covered with not just floral motifs, but detailed scenes of battles and scenes of Tipu Sultan holding court with his officials in the palace. The Tippu Sultan Museum is located on the topmost floor of the Dariya Daulat Mahal. Housed in this museum are artefacts of Tippu Sultan's rein, as well as valuable Persian manuscripts and famous paintings created by European artistes. One such painting depicts the take over of Srirangapatna by the British Army.
As you drive away from Srirangapatna, 5kms ahead take the road to the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary. This avian paradise is actually located on a group of small islets. The Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary was set up when the Maharaja of Mysore declared it a protected area in 1940 and kept it out of bounds for hunters and poachers, at the behest of world renowned Indian ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali.
Since it is on an island, the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is accessible via boats. Storks and terns flap overhead as you approach the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary. If you are a true bird-watching enthusiast, it is a good idea to let the boatman steering your boat guide you to the specific locations of the winged residents. You can know about these colourful residents from the detailed information given about them on boards along the entrance pathway that is lined with bamboos. While the bird population includes a variety of storks as well as kingfishers, swallows, cormorants, etc, the mammal denizens include otters, mongoose and fruit bats. Be careful of the crocodiles in the marshy areas! Migratory birds, like the Siberian cranes, also sometimes fly in to visit their brethren. The ideal time to visit the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is when the birds are nesting during June to September, as you can get a first-hand glimpse of their busy lives (the months of June & July though could be avoided due to heavy rains).
Note: It is best to confirm timings and entry fee rates before you visit in case of change in schedules.
Now that this article has given you information about attractions near the Brindavan Gardens, you could put Brindavan Gardens Mysore as the last stop for the day rather than the only stop!


I've made may way through AC Syndicate and I have also unlocked all achievements possible, which was a hell lot of time. Just after completing "Without a Grudge" I realized that for whatever reason trophy "The Joys of Freedom" is still locked!
I have now replayed the last part 2 times and tried to fulfill everything that I can imagine but still no luck.
I am getting desperate as I was working towards my second platinum trophy ever and I am stuck now at 98% just because of a messy bug.
So please, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful.
EDIT: Just found the reason - I have changed the HDD BEFORE the trophies have been fully synchronized! Luckily I had the HDD still with me, so putting it back one more time and let it synchronize did the job!
So no messy bug, a simple user error!


NetEase Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ: NTES) shares are trading higher by $32.15 (12 percent) at $294.00 in Thursday's session. The Chinese technology company operates an interactive online community and provides content in the Chinese language for online games and advertising services, email and other areas related to e-commerce.
After the close on Wednesday, the company reported a Q4 EPS beat of $1.00 along with a sales beat of $116 million.
Following a much higher open, well above its former all-time high from October at $272.58, it retreated to $278.80 before continuing its move higher. The ensuing rally took the issue to $295.10, but has backed off that elevated level.


The separation mechanism of proteins on a charged ultrafiltration membrane was analyzed using the extended Nernst–Planck (N-P) model. The model was solved numerically based on experimental data during ultrafiltration of bovine serum albumin/BSA and hemoglobin at various pH (between 5 and 8) to obtain the flux parameter (Jv). The flux parameter was used to determine the effective charge of the membrane (f) and the actual membrane porosity (Ak). These two parameters were then used to predict the transport mechanism of proteins through the charged membrane. Higher flux was obtained during the ultrafiltration of BSA compared to hemoglobin. The most effective separation of mixed proteins occurred at pH 5 (aalbumin= 5). In addition, the mobility of a single protein was lower than when it was mixed with other proteins that had different charges. The effective charges of the membranes were varied between 0.99996 to 1.0000, which means that the fixed charge on the membrane structure was higher than the concentration of proteins, thus the effective charge of the membrane was not influenced by the presence of protein charge at various pH. On the contrary, the value of Ak was influenced by the type and charge of the proteins. A decrease of negative charge along with an increase of solution pH increased the porosity of the membrane, thus reducing the rejection of proteins.

Operator Training: The Fastest Way to Get from 100 Feet to 170 Feet Per Minute
It has taken Delta ModTech's John Schultz as little as two hours to help a converting company boost production 70%.
And the secret is astonishingly simple:
It's training.
John is a trainer with Delta ModTech. He's been with the company since 1991, and he thoroughly understands our machines inside and out. He knows what the equipment is capable of, and more importantly, he knows what can hinder their performance.
"Many operators are just afraid of the machine," he said.
And that fear could be affecting your bottom line.
After 30 years he "still has some machines running"
John is nearing his 30 year work anniversary with Delta ModTech. He has a degree in robotics and automation, and when he first joined us, he was building and wiring our machines. Then he switched to engineering, and now he's focusing on service and customer support.
John Schultz, Delta ModTech
He notes that he "still has machines running," from his early days and Delta ModTech. And, despite all the changes that have taken place both at Delta ModTech and throughout the industry, the basics remain the same.
It's his job to ensure operators not only understand the machines, but that they can also maximize performance. The 70% efficiency increase we mentioned earlier is a perfect example.
Getting into the comfort zone can yield huge results
John recently met with a customer on site to ensure their machine had been set up properly, and the line was running correctly. It was performing well but in observing how the operator was running the machine, he could see a few simple adjustments that could improve performance.
"After a couple hours, we jumped from 100 feet to 170 feet per minute," John recalls. "I didn't do anything but help them get more comfortable with the machine."
Understand this was an isolated incident, and not indicative of the results generated from every on site visit. But even though the training does include a fee, John is always surprised how many owners don't pursue it.
"The machine is running, and the owner thinks things are ok," he said. "But sometimes they could be so much better."
Key areas where operators need additional help
Keeping a team of operators well-trained and performing at peak efficiency is no easy task.
In terms of operating Delta ModTech machinery, John finds there are usually two common areas in which training can help:
1. Operators don't understand rotary converting
These tend to be the operators who come from working on other non-rotary machines. They don't understand the basics, such as:
Gear ratios
Basic principles of tension
Laminating principles
Registration setup
The lack of fundamental knowledge becomes an issue when it comes to getting the most out of the machine. "A lot of the operators hit the start button and it works, because it was set up correctly," John said. "But they wouldn't know what to do beyond that."
2. Operators don't understand how to make changes on the machine
Making adjustments to the job on site doesn't come intuitively. It requires experience. John equates it to taking a commuter and putting them in a race car at the Indy 500. You know how to drive a car, but not something like a Delta ModTech.
That's where advanced training comes into play. In cases like the example above, a little advanced training can yield some significant improvements — and payback for the company.
On site is often the best location for advanced training
When Delta ModTechs are delivered, they are accompanied by detailed manuals and initial machine training. But for many operators, learning one-on-one with John after getting comfortable on the machine is much more efficient.
"Being able to show them how things work on their machine, using their materials, is much more effective than going through a manual," John says.
In the same respect, initial training and advanced training sessions can sometimes become too information-packed. There's really no substitute for being able to work through an actual problem while the machine is in operation.
Tips for improving operator performance
An operator with limited experience in rotary converting can take six months to a year to get comfortable setting up and dialing in new processes on a servo driven press. Their own personal learning curve can be via user manuals, training videos, phone calls to support and their self-induced school of hard knocks.
John had some ideas for improving performance:
Focus on one key area first. There's a tendency to get things going fast, but John stresses the need to take things one after another. "Don't worry about all your stations right away. You need to focus on one area at a time," he said.
Set gear ratios correctly. If you're setting up a new program, make sure you have a gear ratio of one, so that everything has the same starting point. Make changes to tension and registration from there.
Use Re-Registration. The number of operators we talk to that are using die-to-die sync and just getting by, is shocking. Delta ModTech machines have the most advanced Re-Registration control available. Setup is fairly easy and once complete, it will automatically make adjustments to your die cuts without constant interaction.
Where is training headed in the future
John believes there is no substitute for the one-on-one training, but he foresees a greater use of Facetime and VPN services. However, these would be for instant feedback on an issue.
For more complex problems, John believes being on site is still the most effective. When a call for service comes in, "Many times we aren't getting the correct information from the operator, so it can be difficult to support those areas," he said.
In more complex cases, for example, an operator might use a wooden ruler instead of a digital caliper. Pointing out the huge margin for error in this instance, and then providing and training on a readily-available solution, is critical.
These machines can truly perform magic. But as John has proven — time and time again — without a well-trained operating staff, you won't be able to pull that converting rabbit out of the hat.

Chris Allen Radio Show
Weatherman, radio host, grandpa, road tripper
Yes, the same guy you watch on "AM Kentucky" and "Midday Live" on WBKO each morning is the same guy on SAM 100.7 every weekday afternoon from 3-7pm.
"I actually started in radio, then got into television," Chris said. "This is all like a homecoming for me. Radio is where I started because of my passion for music."
Chris says he got into radio while still attending high school in White House, Tennessee. "There were two things I knew I wanted to do in life, weather, and radio. Bowling Green and Southern Kentucky have afforded me the opportunity of a lifetime to do both, and for that, I will always be grateful" Chris said.
Chris' radio career began in 1982 at WNAZ, a non-profit, low-power Christian radio station on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene College in Nashville. "I didn't attend Trevecca but they were willing to give me a shot at radio". From there, Chris worked at several more Nashville area stations with various formats such as KZ Country, WDBL, WLAC and WSIX. At WSIX in the middle 80s, Chris was the occasional fill in for one of Nashville's most popular radio personalities Gerry House. "To this day, I don't know if Gerry even knows I exist, but I was honored to fill his shoes when he wasn't there – I learned a lot".
While working at WSIX, Chris saw a newspaper ad for a new TV station coming to Nashville. "They were looking for people to shoot video, be announcers, edit and so on, so I gave it a shot and it was my first foray into TV." That new station was then known as WCAY Channel 30. "They didn't have a news operation but I did occasionally go on and do weather updates".
From there, Chris was asked to make a big move to Kentucky. Some of the people he worked for at Channel 30 were taking over a small TV station in Columbia – WGRB Channel 34. "Shelia and I were newly married, we had our first daughter and all of a sudden, we found ourselves far from home." Chris became Creative Service and Promotion Director at WGRB-TV and also watched the weather. "I recall a few times going live during severe weather and a terrible snowstorm that hit Central Kentucky back in January of 1985. I was the only one on staff that knew anything about the weather". While living and working in Columbia, Kentucky, Chris continued to keep his radio career going by working at WLBN/WLSK in Lebanon, Kentucky. "I worked for the great J.T. Whitlock – for those of you who knew J.T., that's all you needed to know!"
A few years later, an opportunity opened up for Chris to move to Bowling Green and become part of the Creative Services team at WBKO. "I was writing, shooting and editing promos and commercials, just like I did in Nashville and up in Columbia. But my ultimate goal was to end up doing the weather on TV." Chris' radio career kept going as well working at "The Beaver" WBVR on weekends. Eventually, Chris would also work for WGGC, WBGN, WCVK, WAYD, WDNS and WBLG, known then as "The Gator G107" (now WUHU). "I recall being hired by Barry Williams after he bought WBGN and he made me Program Director for what we called "The Bear" and switched it to a Country format. Working with people like Barry, Wes Strader, Bud Tyler, Todd Hamilton and Hank Broche taught me a lot about Bowling Green and broadcasting in general."
In August of 2017, Chris will begin his 30th year at WBKO but his 36th year as a broadcaster. "There has only been a few months out of my career I haven't worked both radio and television – I love them both!" In December of 2014, Chris was hired by Commonwealth Broadcasting to do an afternoon radio show on Classic Hits SAM 100.7 FM. "They have allowed me to do the show my way and it is something I look forward to every single day! I wanted my show to be different. In my opinion, there's way too much chatter on radio – my goal was to focus on the music and the history behind it and make it feel like the kind of radio we all grew up with. I remember when all of these song were new and hearing them for the first time. I can still remember where I was and what I was doing with most of the songs I play. In a world full of uncertainty, it's the music we remember that helps bring us back to center" Chris said.
"The Chris Allen Radio Show" can be heard on Classic Hits SAM 100.7 every Monday through Friday from 3 until 7pm.

Non-immigration personal visas allow individuals to visit the United States on a temporary basis to engage in certain activities.
B-2 Temporary Visitor: There are many reasons to visit the United States for a relatively short period, including simply traveling around the country and seeing friends and family. The B-2 visa provides foreign citizens with the ability to stay in the country for six months (with the option to extend the visa for a further six months). The visa is only available if the applicant has no interest in staying in the country longer than the visa limits. The applicant must also maintain their foreign residence throughout their stay and possess the financial capacity to pay for the trip without recourse to work in the United States.
F-1 Student: The United States is a very popular place to study for students around the world. To gain access to The United States' vast educational resources, you'll need to receive an F-1 visa. To receive this visa, the applicant must already be enrolled in a full course of study at a college or university and prove they have the financial resources to support themselves while they attend that school. They must also either sign up for English classes or demonstrate they already have adequate English skills.
M-1 Vocational Student: Similar to the F-1 visa, the M-1 visa allows students to attend America's vocational schools. As with the F-1 visa, applicants must already be enrolled in a full course of study and either be enrolled in English classes or else possess sufficient English skills. They also need adequate funds to finance their entire course of study.
J-1 Exchange Visitor: The J-1 visa provides for many educational and work circumstances not covered in the above F-1 and M-1 visa categories. Here, secondary school (high school) exchange students, temporary college or university students, teachers, scholars, interns, camp counselors, foreign medical school graduates, and many others can come to the United States to study, experience the culture, teach, and do research on a temporary basis. This visa requires a sponsor and for the foreign citizen to maintain a residence in their home country.
K-1 Fiancé of U.S. Citizen: The K-1 visa is designed to provide a couple with the ability to marry in the United States when one partner is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and the other is a foreign citizen. This visa is only for 90 days and is specifically designed to allow the couple to marry in that time. Applicants must prove they have a legitimate interest in marrying. The couple must have met within the last two years.
K-3 Spouse of U.S. Citizen: Unlike other non-immigration visas, the K-3 visa acts as a sort of bridge to permanent residency, or an immigration visa. The K-3 visa allows a married couple to live in the United States on a temporary basis while a permanent residency application is being processed. The visa lasts as longs it takes for the permanent residency application to be completed and approved.
Visa Waiver Program (VWP): The VWP allows individuals from certain countries to enter America for up to 90 days without requiring a visa. However, if you would like to stay longer than 90 days, or if you have concerns about preparing for your travels, we can assist you.
Each of the above visa categories has their own set of requirements and limitations. In many circumstances, there are ways to provide visas for spouses, children, and other relatives to accompany you during your time in America. There may also be ways to extend your visa or to transition to an immigration visa.

I took the opportunity to explore what a light but impactful visual change might look like for the Shutterstock consumer app home page.
This page will detail how I would suggest we avoid the need for a CMS and use perhaps ready made parallax components to build this visual hero and search bar for our app homepage.
This feature is not in the app currently but on the roadmap for 2019.
Shutterstock's consumer prior to this year NEVER allowed for users to pay for a single image. But now you can!
On iOS and Android devices you can now use a subscription OR pay for a single image at any time.
I also worked to change the asset detail page (the page where the image details are displayed) so that it was all on one page. Prior to this change one had to make several taps in order to see details about similar images, keywords, and artist information.
This page will dive into the details of this project further.
Shutterstock's consumer application had a problem: upon download users didn't know what the app was about NOR have the ability to login.
Well, we decided to fix that.
Read the problem and solution we came up with. This is now live on iOS and soon will be available on Android as well.
This is a sample idea for Google to inform people what the service might be like at local businesses. It also helps to inform business owners about potintial problems in their establishment with out hurting their overall rating in Google.
Its been a long time coming but Dubsmash is inching closer to having a whole new product ready for the world. Ive enjoyed being a part of the process and I cant wait for you all to get your hands on it.
Were still testing here and the screens I'm sure will change a bit before launch but were excited to get it out soon, hoping for Q1 2018.
If you are unfamiliar with Dubsmash please watch the first video available on the right.
I started on the Dubsmash product team in the Summer of 2017 tasked with figuring out the best approach to app improvements, increasing time on app, and doing qualitative user testing to make sure our approaches were getting the response we wanted. I did the requiremnt gathering, user interviews, user flows, UX and UI for both native platforms. The other goal was to broaden the user base, make the app easy to navigate and understand so that users of all ages can enjoy it.
There are many challenges with this product as we just have so many ideas and had to prioritize and use the testing to influence what we work on first. We spent some time making improvements to the exiting app (the one live now) putting sharing back into the app as well as feedback cards on the videos we placed on the home screen to evaluate what was working and what wasn't (spoiler alert, the Kardashian material almost always did well).
The new app show cases categorization, easier search and will have personalized curated results every time you open the app. Users were craving organization and I'm happy to say the new app is going to deliver.
When working on an app that is primarily used by youth but you are trying to broaden it to a wider user base its important to keep in mind fun elements that younger users will like such as icons, emojis and colors but at the same time make it organized and logically labeled so that all users can enjoy it.
H2Observer connects users to water data that can help them make insights on their property or infrastructure.
Risk - Know the water-related risk and threat to your high-value infrastructure. Your high value assets (oil wells, mobile towers, golf courses, highways, landscapes, etc.) are under threat when it comes to water damage. Whether it's flooding of a nearby river, an incoming storm, or water accumulation due to an above average rainfall, H2Observer's Risk Assessment application gives you a consolidated view of all water-related threats arising that pose a risk to your high value assets.
Collection - Know the best areas to collect water and perform a 'what-if' analysis to get the optimized solutions. Water collection can be extremely complex; physical features such as topography, terrain, weather, rain, and soil water retention all need to be considered while deciding where and how much water is safe to store. H2Observer's Water Collection application empowers you to make the right decision by not only considering the above-mentioned concerns, but because it provides the ability to change the observer parameters and check how they might affect the overall water collection in various 'what-if' scenarios.
I worked as product owner, creative director, and strategist on this project. I worked on the UX fully at the beginning of this project before working in tandem with one of our UXUI designers on the Webonise team. H2Oberver was built in response to another project we were working on that had access to data rich GIS data. This allowed us to build a tool that could allow users to not only look at historical satellite imagery but also assess the flood risk and collection of water opportunities on property of interest.
There wasn't any tools we found out there that were doing anything like this so we tried to keep the requirements small to start so that we could start to build out the tool in a way that would feel easy to users. Once you are in the map visualization area you'll notice that we placed all controls on the right, away from navigation and on its own to clearly define the areas distinct purpose. We did look closely at how Digital Globe was displaying historical satellite images and took some inspiration on the check box and slider usage for the time line.
The solution here marries the ease of a simple tool with the dense data that one needs when assessing land and water. The tool visually feels light and intuitive all while delivering insight you cant get from any other tool.
We went back and forth in wire-framing on the best area to put controls and worked hard to make the right panel the only place to enter or manuiplate input to influence the map area. We had them along the bottom at one point but realized the eye lines were very jumpy, going top to bottom, then left to right, then top to bottom again on the right side of the page. Therefore having the nav top to bottom on the left and the controls top to bottom on the right made the most sense visually and I think worked well here.
Made up this identity on my lunch break.
ESOL in Higher Ed is a educators platform that links teachers and students to learning materials needed for their college level ESOL classes.
This comp was created around the idea of simplicity yet having a subtle speech bubble hinting to the nature of the program. It is a design that appeals to all age demographics, gender and cultural backgrounds.
This branding was started for a WWII themed brewery. They had planned to have each beer named after an american tank and other patriotic themes.
Turns out the investors didn't like the name. Oh well, still a fun branding project for me.
This exciting new project is currently under development. It will allow for users to manage their fleet of planes and associated cost and maintenance.

Capital Paper had a logo that served them well for more or less 30 years, but it needed an update. Now that they offer many more services than just paper, it seemed "products" was a more encompassing term.
I freshened up the look by toning down the hue of red, giving it a flat yet slightly 3 dimensional effect. The result is a much more modern approach but keeps the essence of the original logo.
