For the first time, mobile app usage has exceeded both desktop and mobile web usage, according to a report by Flurry. The statistics say that users now spend approximately 81 minutes per day using mobile apps, 9% more than the 74 minutes per day spent using the web.
This growth in mobile app usage has increased 91% since last year. For comparison, last year's statistics found users spending just 43 minutes per day on mobile apps and 64 minutes per day on the web. However, the report shows that the growth is a result of more sessions per user per day, as opposed to growth in average session lengths.
Certainly interesting, but Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire, believes the results are inaccurate – he explains that the methodology used was "like conducting a survey at a comic book convention and announcing that time spent on comic book reading has passed all other books combined… It's rigged." Check out his arguments on the Skyfire blog.


We noted this case when it was but a county court decision. The Court of Appeal decision is now available and the decision of the county court has been overturned. This looks like it'll have put an end to what was becoming a fairly common defence. On a purely personal note, having only just got my head around the argument (and started using it) the result is very frustrating.
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 isn't, of course, necessarily a housing law statute. It so happens that a number of second charges (i.e. sub-prime mortgages) are loans which are regulated by the 1974 Act, but there is no necessary link between housing law and the 1974 Act.
By way of brief legislative background – the Consumer Credit Act 1974 regulates lending below a certain level (which was – I think – £25,000 at the time of the loan in this case). It requires certain prescribed information to be provided on the loan documentation and, if it is not provided or is inaccurate, then (for loans made prior to April 6, 2007), the loan cannot be enforced. One of the prescribed matters is "the amount of the credit." Another is the interest rate and details of any charges for the credit.
Mr & Mrs Walker applied for a loan of £17,500 from SPPL. That loan was (a) regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and (b) secured by way of second charge on their home. The Walkers fell into arrears and SPPL sought possession. The DJ granted an SPO, which Mr & Mrs Walker appealed to the Circuit Judge.
They argued that, whilst the loan had only been for £17,500, they had actually been advanced £18,375 (and had paid interest on the same), with the difference representing a fee paid to the broker. The 1974 Act required the amount of credit to be stated on the loan documentation. That had only referred to £17,500 and, therefore, the loan failed to comply with the requirements of the 1974 Act and was unenforceable. In addition, they successfully argued that the 1974 Act prohibited the charging of interest on any charges for credit.
SPPL appealed – successfully – to the Court of Appeal. The loan documentation had been correctly completed. The amount of the credit was £17,500. The additional £875 was a charge for the credit and not part of the credit itself. It had clearly been described as such on the loan documentation. It was correct for SPPL to exclude it from the credit figure.
There was no legal reason why interest could not be charged on a charge for credit. The 1974 Act did not prohibit the same and there was no reason for the court to invent a prohibition where the statute was silent.
The agreement correctly indicated the different component parts of the sum advanced to Mr & Mrs Walker and was therefore enforceable.
So – there we are – what at one time appeared to be a very attractive defence has just gone up in a puff of sub-prime smoke. A charge for credit should not be included in the amount of the credit specified on the loan documentation for a loan regulated by the 1974 Act but should be specified separately on the document.

Thanks for the alert. Your posts are always excellent.
It gets a bit mad before DJs when issues like this are raised on the spur of the moment and decisions made without full consideration of the complexity.
the matter was not before a DJ nor was the matter rushed. The decision was made by a circuit judge HHJ Derek Halbert. The crux of the matter was could interest be charged on a charge….NO it can't the decision was made because interest had not been charged on a charge but the broker fee which was payable by the borrower was a cost of credit but placed in the wrong part of the loan, interest however had not been charged on it. Had it been charged the loan would hva e been unenforceable.
David, that doesn't appear to be what the Court of Appeal said. The CJ had found that it was unenforceable, partly on the basis that interest was paid, but the Court of Appeal said that there was no legal reason why interest couldn't be charged on a charge for credit, that being what they had found the additional sum was.
Yes, I know this one was not before a DJ. But most of them are and issues like this are often raised by DJs without the opportunity to join, and decisions given in ten minutes.
Everyone is missing the point – It is impossible, according to the regs, to charge interest on a charge.
If a lender chooses to literally charge interest on a charge under the agreement he has nowhere to put it (a black hole). SPPL in this agreement chose to charge interest on the Broker fee and hide it within the repayments (a few quid more per month on the face of the agreement). At the time of taking up the agreement, to the punter, the 'few quid' extra does not look as bad as adding some £1,220 worth of additional interest as an "other" charge calling it a credit charge say – which he could have done if he had wanted to play a straight bat.
[Edited by J – I've deleted this because (a) you're just repeating what you said above; (b) you're not doing so in a spirit of reasoned debate and (c) because it flies in the face of the decision of the Court of Appeal.
Your 'spirit of debate' is clear – censor contributions and delete them if you dont like them !!!
With the greatst respect, I dont believe, at your 3rd para, that you have understood what I have said in my last 'deleted' note – it is mathematically and legalistically 'impossible to charge interst on a charge' – I am stressing this point as a general note rather than in defence of Walker.
I do agree that the Judges got the s9(4) issue right – it is the easiest section in the ACT to understand. I am saying that 'statute' (the regulations)was not considered at all by the Court in this case. This judgment now means that all lenders that have not charged interest on charges in the past now effectively can – against the spirit of the ACT and in contravention of the Regulations.
Does anyone know whether the Walkers have leave to appeal to the Supreme Court?
I have a case in the Liverpool County Court currently stayed.
The ICLR have a list of permission decisions. I couldn't see it on there.
the key relevance of cca regulated agreements in housing cases is that the court has rather more leeway than under ss36/8 of the 2 aja's. in cca cases the court has discretion to change elements of the contractual agreement (eg interest rate) and make time orders which are not open to it in non-cca regulated mortgage agreements. rather more use if you are representing a defaulting mortgagor.
but this is probably a granny-directed egg-sucking class; so apologies.
Just to confirm what Jonathan says above, the Supreme Court has now given permission to appeal in this case, although I don't know anything about the timetabling.
I've now seen the Easter term list and Jonathan was right about that too – 13th May with a panel comprising Walker, Brown, Mance, Clarke & Sir John Dyson SCJ. I believe that abbreviation should be pronounced "skudge".
Hey folks it's D-Day tomorrow.The SC are handing down judgment at 12.30pm apparently.
Hope you've got your CCA agreements at the ready!!!
The Supreme Court dismissed the Appeal and upheld the Court of Appeal judgment.

Not long ago I shared a post on how to avoid airline baggage fees, and made a tongue-and-cheek comment on how it's only a matter of time until airlines begin pricing airfare based on weight.
Well, fast-forward into the not to distant future, and pay as you weigh airfare apparently has arrived.
In a recent article on CNN it was stated that Uzbekistan Airways would begin weighing passengers along with their baggage prior to boarding.
To be fair, Uzbekistan Airways hasn't actually begun a pay as you weigh airfare ticket pricing (That distinction actually belongs to Samoa Air, who has been enforcing a pay as you weigh airfare structure since 2012), and have only enacted the policy for the purpose of flight safety. .
However, I see this as a sea-change to further unpopular airline practices; it's a gradual inoculation. Remember free baggage? I don't blame you if you don't. But there once was a time we considered baggage fees as being outrageous. Now? Just the cost of flying.
Discrimination – There has always been discrimination, and chances are we will always be dealing with it in one form or another. But where it once was practiced duplicitously, "airfare by the pound" would effectively grant airlines a license to promote further price discrimination – legally!
Ongoing Shaming – As though shaming isn't already pervasive, having to pay more because you weigh more is just insensitive. A pay as you weigh airfare policy would throw all our progress as society a thousand steps back. TSA agents already make fun of our X-rays, now imagine our self-esteem as we watch them trying to stifle a giggle as we're forced to step on the scale.
Increased Airfare Cost – Airlines will inevitable have a minimum cost and I wouldn't count on them lowering current pricing standards. Which means, even if you happen to be wafer thin, your cost certainly will not be. They'll just tack on a "surcharge" for each extra pound. Heavier passengers will invariably have to pay an increased rate for airfare. Good news is, figuring out how to stuff your carryon will now be the least of your concerns.
Fee Creep – Under the current airline oligopoly, we're forced to eventually get use to unpopular policies and fee changes. A pay as you weigh policy would ultimately open the floodgates to more draconian treatment. By giving them an inch they will definitely, and flagrantly, take a mile. Case in point: baggage fees.
Assigned Seating by Weight- Airlines already have an existing policy on how weight is to be distributed on a flight. Makes perfect sense. But I can certainly see a dystopian future where you're asked to enter your weight, and if you happen to exceed a certain weight category, you'll be relegated to the "fat" sections for balancing. Better get comfortable with the seat by the Lavatory.
Unfair Luggage Weight Allocation- If a pay as you weigh airfare price is determined by total weight of both passenger and luggage, lighter passengers would be able to bring more luggage while heavier passengers will have restrictions. For some reason, this just doesn't sound very equitable.
Yesterday it was Samoa Air, today it's Uzbekistan Airways, tomorrow: everyone else. As more companies adopt a pay as you weigh airfare structure, we will inevitably be forced to accept a new state of normalcy. Baggage fees are one thing, but when it comes to a pre-board weigh in, we need to draw the line.
If it's sincerely about maintaining flight safety, I can get on board for that. But if it's not, we better rethink that extra helping of mash over the holidays.

Players' union sends counteroffer to MLB proposing a 114-game season to avoid further pay cuts
Jun 01, 2020 - New York Daily News
The negotiations to try and restart baseball after an 11-week shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic have slowed down as the players and owners try to negotiate the tricky financial issues of a season that is likely to be played without fans in the ballparks. The owners, who claim they will lose $640,000 per game without the revenue from tickets, parking and concessions, had suggested a sliding scale for paying players over an 82-game season. Their proposal would have the top players in the ga...

Arcade Machines – Why they are Becoming Popular in Australia
Ian Garstang
Relive the Glory Days of Playstation With a PSX Emulator
Tech Review: LucidSound LS30 Gaming Headset
Arcade machines are largely perceived to be a dead form of gaming, but nothing could be further from the truth. In Australia, especially, these classic gaming systems are experiencing a resurgence of popularity and are more desirable than ever. Let's look at some evidence of arcade gaming's popularity, and consider why this trend has been gaining traction with Aussie gamers.
The Growth of Arcades in Australia
To see how arcade games have grown in Australia, you need look no further than the PAX Australia conference. This gathering has been held every year since 2004 as a way for Aussies to come together and celebrate their favorite aspects of new and classic video games.
While a large part of this conference is all about showing off the latest consoles and new titles, an equally large portion of the event is centered on both competitive and casual arcade gaming. During these parts of PAX Australia, gamers will either play arcade games with friends or compete for prize money against some of the most talented arcade masters in the world. This is a huge conference and draws thousands of people every year by appealing to arcade gamers alone, but why are arcade machines suddenly becoming so popular?
Here's the thing about arcade gaming: it never really went away. While the public eye may have moved on, developers have kept creating new and exciting releases for arcade systems, and gamers have been eating it up for decades. 2016 alone saw huge releases like "Luigi Mansion Arcade" and "Ultra Race" that each sold thousands of copies across the world, and hundreds of those went to Australia.
It isn't just about the new content, though. Many people who grew up playing arcade games have become disillusioned with the modern gaming scene, and view new online co-op modes and high-resolution graphics as useless filler with no real place in gaming for entertainment. To these people, arcade gaming is the last bastion of the childhood fun they remember, and they're not about to let go of it.
Of course, there are some additional grievances that push Aussie gamers into the arms of arcade gaming. Not only do most new video game releases cost an arm and a leg in Australia, thanks to publishers artificially inflating the prices, but plenty of these games don't release in Australia at all or, if they do, game publishers charge higher prices to Aussies for online services. It's an unfair system that has, for the better part of a decade, made the idea of conventional gaming completely repelling to plenty of Aussies.
Games for arcade systems, on the other hand, are one-time purchases that, while not exactly cheap, have a limitless amount of replay value. Instead of purchasing a new game every month, Australians can use a local arcade console for a fraction of the price.
The Future of Arcade Gaming in Australia
It's hard to predict the future, but arcade machines have been gaining traction in Australia for years. As conferences like PAX Australia continue to offer arcade-focused gaming and new, exciting games are released via arcade consoles, it seems inevitable that Australia will become the home for this new wave of arcade gaming.

Elon Musk reportedly plans to move to Texas
1 year ago C.D. BEST DEALS
Photo by Britta Pedersen-Pool/Getty Images
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is planning to move from California to Texas, a move that would potentially save him from a huge personal income tax bill, CNBC reported.
Musk announced in July that Tesla was building its next US factory in Austin, where it will produce its Cybertruck, Model Y, Model 3, and Semi vehicles. The company received tens of millions of dollars in local property tax breaks to build the plant on 2,100 acres east of Austin's airport, over the objections of some local residents. The factory is expected to begin delivering its first vehicles in 2021. Musk's Boring Company already has operations in Austin, and SpaceX has a facility in Boca Chica, Texas.
Earlier this year, Musk tweeted that he was "selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house."
Musk battled with officials in California in recent months over pandemic lockdown orders that temporarily shuttered Tesla's Fremont plant. In May, Musk said he was going to move the automaker out of state.
Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2020
In November, Tesla said employees at its Fremont plant were "essential workers" and exempt from California's new statewide COVID-19 health orders.
If Musk does change his permanent address to Texas, he'd pay significantly less in taxes, as CNBC notes. Musk stands to earn more than $50 billion in stock options, and would have to pay income taxes on the profits when he exercises them if he remained in California. Texas, however, has no personal income tax.

Bipolar Mood Tracking: How to Track Your Mood
LizzieReezay
Lizzie's YouTube Channel
Practical Solution
How to Track Your Mood With Bipolar Disorder
Lizzie discusses the importance of tracking your mood if you have bipolar disorder and the benefits of starting a mood tracking journal to help you predict your mood episodes and triggers.
My therapist told me recently that the purpose of therapy and the way to live a peaceful life with bipolar is to be able to track ahead of your mood episodes, to be able almost to predict what your triggers are, and to know whether or not you are going up into a more manic state or down into depression.
Self-awareness is one of the hardest parts of bipolar disorder.
It's why a lot of people deny that they have bipolar and continually go off medicine because they're absorbed, surrounded and immersed within the mood episode that they don't even realize that anything is atypical or different.
When you're not aware of what is going on that's when your symptoms will manifest into doing things that you don't necessarily want to do – causing destruction and hurting yourself.
I personally have found that the mood charts (that you can Google and print out) just do not work for bipolar, because it is so multi-faceted and complicated. It's constantly changing and adapting, the way your depression and mania even manifests.
Instead, try bullet journaling.
What to Write in Your Bipolar Mood Tracking Journal
I have a blank journal, and I do bullet journaling, which helps, in general, for me to have my life together, to be productive in depression and to be focused when I'm more hypomanic.
Every day I have my to-do list of everything I need to get done and then on the right side.
I'll put:
What time I went to bed
What time I woke up
What my dreams were like
How I felt right when I woke up, like whether or not my sleep was revitalizing or if I felt exhausted when I woke up
Then at the very end of the day, I'll write about what my symptoms were like during the day.
If I ever felt really happy
If I was talking a lot
If I felt more hypersexual
If it was so difficult to motivate myself to do something
If I wasn't able to think of words to say in a conversation
If I was at the gym and I ran three miles
Just stuff like that. Anything that is related to a mood episode.
I think that with depression or anxiety, maybe you can track your mood as a simple:
Do you feel sad?
Do you feel anxious?
However, with bipolar, it's primarily an energy problem.
When I start going into depression or start going manic, I'll notice because of the quality of my sleep, and how much my body will need to sleep.
So, by tracking:
How much I'm sleeping
How I felt when I woke up
That's the number one way to see whether or not you're going manic or going into a depression.
Keep An Eye On Your Sleep, Dreams, and Your Mood When You Wake Up
Sleeping is one of the most important things for people with bipolar, besides taking medicine.
So, I find when I write down when I went to bed, when I woke up, how many hours of sleep I got – it's extra motivation and accountability to make sure that I'm sleeping well.
I always write down a couple words about how my dreams were, because if your dreams are really monotonous, and just about things like:
Cooking a meal
Talking to your friend
Checking your emails
So, if your dreams were super monotonous, that means you're going to have more of a depression type day.
However, if your dreams were super intense, scary, like disturbing images, terror type dreams, then that means, you're going more manic. Vivid dreams are extremely common in bipolar and if you start to assess your dreams, just write a couple of words about what your dreams were like, you can begin tracking your mood based upon your dreams.
Another thing to write down and to think about with tracking your mood is how much you're talking to other people and how much you're socializing.
Pressured speech and pressured thoughts, where you're always fast talking or thinking so quickly – like so many ideas – are signs associated with being more manic.
Personalize Your Bipolar Mood Journal
So with everything I've been explaining, write down your mood at the very end of the day and reflect on what happened to you that day.
This doesn't at all have to be a big deal. You don't have to write paragraphs or anything. I literally will write a couple of sentences or just a few words.
If you make it into having to do like, a diary entry at the end of the day, you're going to stop doing it, because it's going to be too exhausting. When you're doing this mood tracking, you'll have epiphanies at the end of so many days.
You'll be like:
"Oh, that's why I was so excited!"
"That's why I was talking so much."
"I'm probably going more manic."
You'll become so much more self-aware from tracking your mood, writing it down, that even at the moment, you'll know exactly what mood episode you're in.
Self-awareness is the key to living a successful, happy, and chill life while having bipolar.

Those who are called to preach must hold two important truths about preaching in tension to be faithful. Preaching is both transcendent and immanent. It is both personal and yet not about personality. Preaching is exposition and application. I want to focus on these two aspects, the transcendent and the immanent, in this blog post.
Sovereign King Church is in the process of converting a barn into a church meeting house. As we think about how to best design the building for worship, we have looked at historical puritan churches and old country churches. Have you ever seen some of the elaborate designs of the pulpits in Old puritan churches? These handcrafted wooden pulpits were set center of the protestant church building. This was contrary to most Roman Catholic buildings that place them to the side. The pulpit being in the front of the sanctuary symbolized the centrality of the preaching of God's word to the puritan church. They were often set high above so that the congregation had to look up at the preacher. This was to help with acoustics so that the sermon could be heard by all. It also had the effect of symbolizing the authority of the preaching of God's word. In order to preach, you had to step up into a pulpit. They often had a door that you would close behind you. Some pulpits even had multiple levels for different parts of the service. The first level was for announcements and song leading. The second was for scripture reading. The highest level was reserved for preaching.
The idea was that when the preacher stepped into the pulpit he was leaving behind his human ideas and philosophies. He was leaving behind personality in order to present the word of God. He was stepping into a place of authority. This was a fearful and reverent task. It was not be taken lightly. Faithful preaching was about presenting God's word as to make it known to the people. The preacher was transcending himself and becoming a megaphone for God. This is not in the sense of him receiving special revelation or speaking ex cathedra but in as far as he faithfully communicates the truths of scripture, he speaks words from God. He was delivering a message from God with all of its authority. Therefore, when a man stepped behind a pulpit he was to transcend himself. His personality and colorful characteristics were secondary to the task at hand which was to faithfully expound the word of God. The preacher was not concerned with his listeners making a personal connection with him as much as they were to make a personal connection with the word of God.
It is interesting to see as the modern evangelical church has narrowed the focus of Christianity to meeting felt needs and has truncated the gospel to be only about the personal, that pulpits have shrunk or become non-existent. Because of postmodern theories on communication and an over emphasis on the communicator rather than the communication, many preachers are concerned with the listeners establishing a report with them first before the text. Rather than the scripture being the message, the preacher becomes the message. Rather than the transcendent word of God being proclaimed with its authority, preaching often becomes the word of man. It becomes a glorified therapy session rather than the giving of God's commands and gospel.
Preaching, though, is about communicating the authoritative word of God. When a preacher enters a pulpit (I'm not concerned with the physical object here) he is setting aside himself in order to deliver God's word. This means that he must be preaching from the word of God. Not just speaking from humanly wisdom. It is the word of God expounded and explained that is authoritative. The preachers job is not primary about developing a connection with his listeners. He doesn't have to get down and walk around so that they know he is a relatable person. Preaching isn't about you, preacher. It is about the word of God.
But as I said at the beginning, there is a tension to be held because preaching also must be immanent. Preaching is best done by pastors. Pastors are those who love and care for their flock and know them by name. Pastors look out for dangers for their flock. Pastors know where their flock is tempted to sin. Pastors are loved and known by their flock. Therefore, when a pastor enters into a pulpit he is not leaving behind who he is as pastor. Instead he is taking on that mantle even more so. A lot of reformed preachers have seen how the immanence in the weak evangelical church undermines the scriptures and therefore they put a heavy emphasis on the transcendence. Preaching can become simply lecture where one exegetes the text out loud. Sermons become data dumps. It is only presenting informative commentary on the scripture. There is no room for application. There is no room for moving hearts only speaking to disembodied minds. Working to convict the listeners of sin and righteousness and judgement is not seen as the job of the preacher.
But faithful preaching is not just reading the text. It is about taking the written word and bringing it to the people to be used by them. If the Bible is authoritative and it is, then it must be applicable to us today. And thus, the work of a faithful preacher is to take the transcendent and make it immanent by applying it to the very people he is preaching to. That will involve speaking to the very sins of the people the preacher is engaging. What broke the hearts of the people Ezra preached to was that the law of God was expounded and they were made to understand its meaning. This wasn't just a data dump but they were made to understand how they had broken God's law. They were guilty and they needed to repent. They had neglected God's law and they were broken. Pastors who refuse to speak to the sins of their congregation are not being faithful no matter how big the pulpit is.
Futhermore, preachers must be able to see that people are struggling with sin, doubt, fears, and all kinds of spiritual ailments. God's word must be faithfully applied to these circumstances and more. This is why the puritans called pastors, physicians of the soul. This work is deeply personal and one cannot hide behind the bible as an excuse not to do it.
When one understands the tension in the transcendent and the immanent their preaching will be authoritative because it will be the word of God applied specifically to the people. It will also be accused of being legalistic. Most people will be happy when preachers forsake the tension of transcendence and immanence either way. They like it when preaching becomes about personal stories and making that human connection because they don't have to deal with the raw word of God. They also like it when the pastor becomes so transcendent that he transcends personal application. Reformed Christians really like the latter.
When you preach with authority from God's word and apply it to people specifically, one of two things will happen. One, you will be hated and spurned like the apostles and all other faithful preachers who have come before. Two, just like the apostles and all other faithful preachers, God will use your preaching to convict and bring people to repentance, faith in Christ, and growth in holiness. God will use this type of preaching (coupled with pastoral care, a subject for another blog) to gather in the sheep and drive out the wolves and thieves.


Started with some folk, because a bit of contextualising is never a bad thing; then a Peel Session from a wonderful Sydney indie band, and then a Plunderphonic version of the first folk singer, and on into the usual madness!
Second week of putting playlists up as we go! Started the show with two Coil-related tracks, because Lars from Ollo did a killer Coil special on Sunday Night At The Movies preceding UFog: Coil's amazing remix of Slag Boom Van Loon, the collaboration between Mike Paradinas (µ-ziq) and Jochen Paap (Speedy J), and then Matmos' cover of Coil's "Disco Hospital".
There's a new computer in the studio with an internet connection on it! I managed, as you can now see, to put the entire playlist up in realtime. I'll let it speak for itself, except to say that I dedicated "This Is Not A Love Song" to Johnny Howard, George Bush and the Free Trade Agreement that's going to make us all vassals of the American Empire, starting now.
Also played a bunch more tracks from the wonderful Funckarma, under their moniker Quench. They produced the new Shadow Huntaz LP, taking electonirca & hip-hop to a new level... A bit of breakcore mayhem before we finished with some Aussie plunderphonic lunacy.
Also just out is the long-awaited Shadow Huntaz album on Skam, which is a collaboration between three US MCs and the amazing Dutch brothers Funckarma. We heard some electronica-meets-hip-hop from Boards of Canada and cLOUDDEAD, and then a whole heap of Funckarma's extraordinary back-catalogue, as well as a couple of Shadow Huntaz tracks. More to come next week!
Tonight we started with (and scattered through the whole show) a whole lot of what could loosely be termed "pop". Neil Gaiman, in his journal, mentioned a song by comics author/genius Alan Moore and his Sinister Ducks called "The March of the Sinister Ducks", which appeared on a flexi-disc with Fantagraphics' Critters #23 anothology, although it dates from even earlier than that. It was a collaboration with David J of Bauhaus, so we had to hear a brilliant classic by Bauhaus after that. Can made an appearance because Damo Suzuki is in town, and a bunch of new stuff got featured: A new CD from Trinkets, instrumental folky post-rock, featuring beautiful violin and occasional cello, from Brisbane - yay!
A new album by Dublin-based Herv, released on his Compactrisc label, showcasing an innovative electronic scene that seems to be springing up in the capital of Eyre what with Skkatter as well - and the Maersk track on the same label is really nice postfolkrock(tronica?) too!
And finally on the new tip, there's a new album by Fantômas, mastered as one 74-minute (or something) track. The press release says "Needless to say, this won't be played on the radio", so I had to take the bait, and played a 5(ish)-minute chunk that was pretty UFog-friendly!

«Джеки» (, ) — индийский художественный фильм на языке каннада с элементами мелодрамы, боевика и триллера, премьера которого в Индии состоялась 14 октября 2010 года.

Сюжет
Джеки вдохновлён, главным образом, поэмой «Рамаяна», каждая сцена которой была модернизирована для современной аудитории и тенденций рынка. Джанакирама, он же Джеки, — праень, закончивший только 8 классов школы и живущий со своей матерью Джаяммой, которая управляет мельницей в деревне. Он мечтает стать большим человеком, но не тяжелой работой. Он опытный карточный игрок и думает, что сможет оплатить все свои долги, заработав на этом. Он также берётся за любую работу. Он разговорчив и использует все возможности, чтобы выжить. В том месте, где он живет, дочь священника Яшодха влюблена в владельца фотостудии, который на самом деле работает на торговцев людьми, и просит Джеки помочь ей выйти замуж. Джеки изначально пытается помочь, но когда священник задает ему вопросы, он решает увильнуть от дела, уважая чувства престарелого отца..

Потеряв всякую надежду, Яшодха сбегает со своим возлюбленным вместе со слепой девушкой. У священника создается впечатление, что Джеки им помог. Так что ответственность на Джеки — за Яшодху и слепую девушку. Между тем, за Джеки следуют полицейские, поскольку он защитил друга, который совершил побег из тюрьмы, во время которого был убит полицейский. В густом лесу он срывает ритуал человеческого жертвоприношения, в котором Лакшми является жертвой. Проблемы Джеки растут на глазах, поскольку его начинают преследовать участники ритуала. Когда он приземляется в Бангалоре, он узнает, что слепая девушка, которая отправилась с Яшодхой, мертва. Он получает ключ к разгадке, будучи дружелюбным с констеблем Бхиманной, который приводит его к подозрительной деятельности банды, перевозящей девочек за границу в нефтяных танкерах во главе с «Митай» Рамой. Джеки выходит на охоту за опасной группировкой.

At St Matthew's School we enjoy working with a wide range of partners locally, nationally and internationally. Our Governing Body and PTFA are committed to outreach partnerships so we can support other children and communities and so we can have our lives enriched and learn with, and from, others.
We have twinned our toilets (yes, we did say toilets!). We raised more than £600 to enable us to twin our school toilets with toilets in the developing world. Our money will provide toilets to communities that have little or no sanitation. The project is being carried out in partnership with St. Matthew's Church where the toilets are also twinned.
We have impressive plaques in our toilets showing the ones we have provided in other countries.


New workers think that AI will make the world fairer, even if the rest of us have doubts.
Who should be liable for robot misbehavior? Ryan Jenkins, assistant professor of Philosophy at California Polytechnic State University, discusses ethical dilemmas manufactures face when building robots; the autonomous Uber vehicle accident that killed a pedestrian in Arizona; and ethics in military robot applications.
The next generation to enter the workforce are pretty confident about their tech skills and aren't worried by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation -- at least not yet.
Research by Dell Technologies looked into the attitudes of the so-called Generation Z -- people born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s and who are now entering the workplace -- in relation to tech and employment.
Despite widespread concern across society about the impact of AI on jobs and society, nine out of ten of the young people interviewed said they believed we are entering a "new era of partnerships with machines" and just under half -- 45 percent -- said humans and machines will work together as an integrated team.
And despite some pretty high-profile incidents where AI has been found to unconsciously perpetuate the existing biases in society, the survey suggests these young people have a pretty positive attitude towards the technology. Nearly three-quarters said they thought AI will create a fairer and more equitable work environment for their generation than previous ones, for example, by providing decision-making data that prevents discrimination based on gender, race or age.
Whether these attitudes change as they enter the world of work remains to be seen, but Gen Z seems to have a strikingly optimistic attitude towards technology, which is in contrast to the doubts and anxiety about AI and the power of the big tech companies that have been surfacing recently.
Four out of five said they wanted to work with cutting-edge technology and nine out of ten said the type of technology offered by a company would be a deciding factor in choosing between similar job opportunities.
"This generation is particularly tech savvy compared to older generations," said Claire Vyvyan, Dell EMC's senior vice president for the UK and Ireland. "You have to design the workplace differently knowing that level of tech expectation is there."
Generation Z are also keen to share their knowledge, according to the survey. Eighty-five percent said they would be comfortable mentoring an older co-worker who was not as comfortable with technology as they are.
Dell has a reverse-mentoring programme where it pairs a new recruit with someone who has been with the company for more than 20 years.
"The 50-year old will learn everything around the technology and social media of a 20-year old and the 20-year olds get an insight into the way a 50-year old thinks about making business decisions based on 30 years of experience," said Vyvyan.
"Those reverse-mentoring programmes are proving hugely powerful across the company and are very helpful in inter-generational integration. It's a way of democratising the work force and not having lots of bureaucracy and hierarchy in a company," she said.
While most Gen Zers are confident with their technical prowess, they also worry about having the soft skills and experience that employers are seeking. While 73 percent rate their technology literacy as good or excellent and 68 percent said they have above-average coding skills, only half rate their education as good or excellent in preparing them for their careers.
There may be some truth to this: Richard Atterton, assistant headteacher at The Marlborough Science Academy, said one of the challenges for schools is to teach students to work together. "We don't need to worry about them learning technology," he said, speaking at the launch of the survey.
"They can do all the tech but they struggle increasingly with interaction and working collaboratively, problem solving, all of these skills which are absolutely vital. The real worry is that they can't interact with their bosses or each other, and so our challenge very much is socially."

Do you think the Queen of England has ever had banana leaf rice?
That's what it's been like being back home – a full on eating marathon with no end in sight. I also get the occasional, "someone's gotten a little chubby". I'll have another kuih thank you very much.
I've spent the past two weeks hanging out with my parents the most. It's so strange being home without my sister (who has started an amazing blog by the way), with my newly retired mum and my socially awkward dog.
My days are also filled with work (I still write and do stuff for TrekkSoft), figuring out what to have for lunch, hanging out with my aunt and grandma, the occasional burst of inspiration and itch to write, and a little bit of catching up with old friends.
I went for lunch with my grand aunt and uncle from Australia. Over lunch, family gossip dominated much of the conversation over pork ribs and noodles. I learned that you should love someone and show your love for said person when they're alive, not when they're dead. There's simply no point.
After lunch, my grand uncle Joe also met up with his old school mate. They were in the same class when they were 17. "He was very naughty in Form 5!" said his friend. They are now 69. I learned that time flies and that relationships are precious.
I also went to a restaurant with a live band who performed Cantonese, Mandarin and Hokkien songs. There was a dance floor and an older lady named Daisy. I boogied with my grandma and Daisy and my cousins. My grandma taught me how to dance a four step. I learned that age is just a number and you're never too old to dance to good music.
I went to church and said hi to old friends and their mums. I learned that the past can stay in the past and that people change. One day, you will genuinely be excited for someone else's success and you will want the best for them.
My dad and I went out one night and I asked him to come along as I sat in the driver's seat for the first time in more than 14 months. I learned that time can past but my dad will always be the person I want next to me as I get used to driving a new car. I learned that I will also always find my dad funny.
After lunch with my relatives from Australia, we drove past a field where some boys were playing football. I watched them as we waited for the light to turn green. I learned that that familiar and comfortable feeling of being home will never disappear. No matter how far I go, or how long I'm gone for, home will always be home.
And a bunch of boys playing football in the field will always remind me of my own childhood, of blissful ignorance I once enjoyed here.

log(me) is an iPhone app—that with the aid of a smart necklace—provides private, in-app, emotional portraits based on function word usage.
A product born from the feeling that quantified self gadgets should aspire to initiate deep personal reflection and not simply binary behavior change.
By borrowing the metaphor and objective of a diary, we developed a device that could comb through a users words—by passively listening to their speech—and generate fully automated scores of their honesty, confidence and emotional balances.
To generate the emotional analysis, we developed our own algorithms based the extensive linguistic research of James Pennebaker; a social psychologist who discovered emotional consistencies in function word type ratios (examples of function word categories include: articles, pronouns, etc.).
All output data appears in-app and the listening device lives inside of a high-fashion necklace constructed from either 3D-printed brass, laser-cut zebra wood, or modular multi-color acrylic.

The purpose of the paper is to compare population of farmers that bought crop insurance with farmers that are uninsured. Based thereon, the author identified features characterizing the insured farmers. These findings were applied to draw more general conclusions concerning factors influencing the insurance awareness and propensity to buy insurance coverage. Demographic, social and economic criteria, individual perception of risk, the loss ratio, and the willingness to pay the insurance premium were taken into consideration.
The research was carried out on a nationwide sample of 150 agricultural producers from Poland holding a farm of at least 5 ha. We applied the CATI method to survey our respondents. The analysis of the collected data was carried out using descriptive statistics and U Mann-Whitney and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. In addition, the willingness-to-pay (WTP) valuation method was used to determine the acceptable crop insurance premium.
It was found that farms with greater production volume (annual income) and with a larger crop area present higher willingness to buy insurance. Farmers who experienced damage to crops are more inclined to buy insurance coverage. Moreover, higher insurance penetration rate can be found among farmers who are willing to pay a higher price for a crop insurance policy. Surprisingly, despite frequently formulated assumptions, variables such as age of farmer, level of education or individual perception of risk do not determine the decision on insurance purchase.
The results showed here may be used by policymakers to shape the policy of support for crop insurance market.

A media report of 23 December 2016 states that the Los Angeles County's Public Health Department (LAPHD) has confirmed a total of 9 measles cases in an outbreak that is believed to have started in late November 2016.
A health alert has been issued to medical providers in Los Angeles County informing them of the measles outbreak and urging them to consider the possibility that patients with an acute rash and fever may have the disease.
The LAPHD confirmed that some exposures may have occurred in public places, though for privacy reasons they will not disclose the age of the cases or where they were infected. However, LAPHD has confirmed that in situations where they are unable to contact all those potentially exposed they would make the geographic location of infection public knowledge.
Measles is a highly infectious viral illness; it may be more severe in teenagers and adults, and can sometimes lead to serious complications. Situations where people mix closely with each other provide the ideal scenario for the measles virus to spread.
Young people who missed their MMR vaccines as children are vulnerable. It should be confirmed that children and young people have received their recommended doses of MMR at 12-13 months of age and again pre-school around 3 years 6 months. Unimmunised adults who have not had the disease themselves may consider vaccination if thought to be at risk.
Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give adequate protection.

The Humanity that comes out of this that I have witnessed in my own little neighborhood has been the most unexpected thing for me. I've lived in my neighborhood for two years but I didn't know most of my neighbors until now. Now we're stopping on the sidewalk and talking to them in their yards. People are dropping food off on each other's porches. People are playing music across the fence in backyards. My half a block that I live on has an incredible band. That part is unexpected — that people would actually physically crave other humans as much as they have. And it didn't take that long, only ten days, for people to realize that we live in such tiny bubbles anyway and this other bubble was my own block in this little neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas. That has been unexpected and welcome.
There's a genuine excitement for people to really support each other's art and to support each other as humans. It's for everyone. There's a lot of folks out there that are very isolated, a lot of artists and musicians. It's hard not to brag on Fort Worth, but it's been really nice here. From virtual song swaps to all the funny comments on facebook live videos I've done. I've really really appreciated the whole community coming together.

Athena extends Artemis to take not just physiological data but also data from a first person shooter serious game, ArmA3, as well as a new haptic garment called ARAIG, by a tech startup company called IFTech Inventing Future Technology Inc.
This thesis proposes a framework known as the Health Information Technology-Enabled Quality Improvement (HITEQI) to provide a structured approach to quality improvement in healthcare where the intervention is through the use of information technology. HITEQI combines the core elements of Canada Health Infoway's Change Management Framework (CMF) with the formal process structure of the National Health Services' Clinician Deployment Guide, and addresses gaps noted by the researcher in the CMF. Specifically, these gaps are the lack of; patient-centred focus, intra/inter-organizational considerations, and data and information flows. The proposed HITEQI Framework provides a structured approach for implementing health information technology (HIT). The framework is demonstrated through a case study of a proposed remote Intensivist consultation service to provide critical care to patients at a rural hospital. The service requires the implementation of an advanced telemedicine technology. Careful consideration of change management (CM) can help mitigate the high failure rate associated with IT implementation and adoption. The HITEQI framework provides a structured CM approach while utilizing PaJMa to provide a patient centred approach that supports clinician information needs and workflows across intra/inter-organizational boundaries.

Spinel is the great impostor of gemstone history: many famous rubies in crown jewels around the world are actually spinels. The most famous is the Black Prince's ruby, a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that now adorns the Imperial State Crown of England in the British Crown Jewels after a long history: Henry V even wore it on his battle helmet! The Timur ruby, a 361-carat red spinel now owned by Queen Elizabeth, has the names of some of the Mughal emperors who previously owned it engraved on its face: an undeniable pedigree!
In Myanmar, where some of the most beautiful colours are mined, spinel was recognized as a separate gem species as early as 1587. In other countries the masquerade went on for hundreds of years. Spinels were most often referred to as 'balas rubies', which may have referred to their colour or their country of origin. Spinel is a durable gemstone that is perfect for all jewellery uses. It is most often faceted in oval, round, or cushion shapes and is not currently found in calibrated sizes due to its rarity.
Now treasured for its own sake, spinel is a favourite of gem dealers and collectors on account of its brilliance, hardness and wide range of spectacular colours. In addition to beautiful rich reds, spinel can be found in a range of gorgeous pastel shades of pink and purple. Of particular interest is a vivid hot pink with a tinge of orange mined in Myanmar. In fact, the main factor preventing the spinel from achieving greater recognition is its rarity. Fine spinels are now rarer than the rubies they used to imitate. Strangely, they are also more affordable: in the gem world, being too rare can be a drawback because so few people even get a chance to develop a fondness for the varieties in question.
In addition to Myanmar, spinel is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Tadzhikistan, part of the former Soviet Union and Pakistan's Hunza.

NSM Launches 24hr Toll-free Domestic Violence and Sheltering Helpline
Our partners at the National Shelter Movement of South Africa have launched their own 24-hour toll-free Shelter Helpline. This is the first national helpline exclusively dedicated to helping victims of domestic abuse access shelter services in each of the nine provinces, while also assisting with a variety of other issues that impact survivors. The call centre is based in Cape Town and is currently operated by three social workers. Read the full press release here.
Why mandatory reporting of cases of domestic violence is a hollow gesture disguised as help
Domestic violence puzzles people. Why does one person in a relationship abuse another; why does the one being abused stay in this relationship; and what should those who know about this do about it? The solution to these dilemmas, proposed by the Department of Justice in its amendments to the 1998 Domestic Violence Act, is this: that everybody must report any knowledge of domestic violence to the police or a social worker – or face criminal charges. This article, based on a submission to Parliament by the author in collaboration with a range of other organisations, including HBF, interrogates this new proposed provision.
