Muckle LLP advising the Hero Caribbean Premier League T20 Cricket Tournament for a second year
We are so pleased to have been advising the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL), a St Lucia registered company, to provide legal advice on all aspects of the Caribbean Primer League T20 Cricket Tournament for the second year in a row.
Last year's tournament attracted a global audience over 65 million and 2015 is set to be even higher as fans across the world continue to be drawn to the event.
Instrumental involvement
Over the past nine months, our sports team in Newcastle upon Tyne has been advising CPL and has been instrumental in making the 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League happen.
The work required a firm-wide approach from the team who advised on all legal aspects of the tournament. Legal advice and negotiations were led by Associate Solicitor, Stephen Green, supported by Partner and Head of Muckle's sports team, John Devine. Stephen was heavily involved in the ongoing day-to-day advice and project management.
We advised CPL on participation agreements with franchises across the West Indies, TV production tenders and TV production agreements to ensure maximum revenue and worldwide coverage for the tournament.
We also advised on selling the rights to operate, run and manage two franchises in the league, including the St. Kitts and Nevis team to businessman Uday Nayak and the Trinidad and Tobago team to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which owns one of the Indian Premier League franchises.
Advice on player contracts
We prepared and negotiated on sponsorship agreements between CPL and their sponsors, including new title sponsor, Hero Motorcorp Ltd, and other sponsors who include Caribbean Airlines, Limacol and Unibet. The sports team also handled numerous players' and coaches' contracts providing advice on player drafts, contracts, option agreements, as well as dealing with sponsorship and image rights issues.
Stephen worked on the majority of the contracts from the Newcastle office, as well as being hands-on in Barbados in the final weeks running up to the launch of the 2015 league. The international, multi-jurisdiction basis of the contracts for CPL covers London, India, the USA and the Caribbean.
He said: "We are delighted to be working with the Hero Caribbean Premier League on one of cricket's highest profile, global tournaments once again. This further reinforces the national and international sports reputation Muckle has earned."
Global superstar Kevin Pietersen heads the list of international cricket stars who playing this year, which also includes, Chris Gayle, Jaques Kallis and Shahid Afridi.
Experienced Sports Team
CPL says it chose to work with Muckle LLP's sports team again because of their experience and understanding of the requirements of sporting organisations – an understanding gained not just at the highest professional levels but from grassroots level too.
Damien O'Donohoe, CPL's Chief Executive, says of the team at Muckle LLP: "We have been closely involved with the team to ensure the numerous agreements were in place in time. It's great to work with them once again and we want to thank Tony McPhillips, Susan Howe, Stephen Green and the team for accomplishing so much this year."
The tournament began in Barbados on 20th June and is being televised around the world to millions of people via broadcasters who have signed up, including BT Sport (UK), Sky (New Zealand), ESPN (USA and Caribbean), Fox Sports (Australia) and Sony Six (India and Sri Lanka). The Hero CPL Grand Final is set to take place at Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad on 26th July 2015.
For more information on our involvement with CPL or to chat to our Sports Team about how we can help you or your organisation please contact Stephen Green on 0191 211 7972.

Supporting Small and Medium Businesses
The reform is aimed at creating favourable environment for the development of a strong and competitive SME sector in the context of temporarily limited financial support and the significant challenges facing the country.
Why change anything?
Small and medium businesses play a key role in Ukraine's economy ensuring about 64% of added value, 81.5% of jobs and 37% of tax revenues.
The restrictive measures introduced in Ukraine to prevent the spread of acute respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus have severely impacted business due to full or partial closure of enterprises, complicated logistics, low demand and destruction of supply chains.
In its Resolution No. 534 dated 27 May 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the 2020—2022 National Economy Stimulus Plan to overcome the impact of the restrictive measures aimed at preventing the occurrence and spread of acute respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The plan should help introduce a comprehensive system of new opportunities in 2020—2022 for the stabilisation and sustainable development of Ukraine's economy and addressing unemployment by preserving existing and promoting the creation of new decent, highly productive jobs.
What does the reform include?
The reform includes measures supporting small and medium businesses aimed to:
provide access to finance;
provide access to markets;
create the infrastructure for small and medium business development.
In particular, the reform will:
deal with the small and medium businesses liquidity issue by implementing measures aimed at preserving jobs, streamlining access to finance and cutting business costs. It is also planned to create and ensure the effective operation of the Fund of Funds to improve access to finance;
enhance access to markets by engaging small and medium businesses in the socio-economic development of certain regions;
optimise regulation of and streamline administrative processes for small and medium businesses by creating an effective infrastructure to support entrepreneurship.
To improve access to finance for small and medium businesses, including by continued implementation, improvement and promotion of the Affordable Loans 5-7-9 Plan, introduction of a portfolio loan guarantee facility, development of an alternative financing methodology, creation and promotion of financial literacy training programmes and materials.
To develop online platforms offering access to an alternative financing methodology (such as a public procurement factoring platform).
To develop an infrastructure for small and medium business operation and implementation of innovations, including: the creation of a national network of innovative business centres according to the standards of the European Network of Business and Innovation Centres (EBN) through training and certification of the existing infrastructure (business centres, incubators, regional agencies, etc.), and expanding the network of points of business information at local government bodies.
To develop grant and training support programmes for creating sustainable and competitive business models, restoring or adapting value chains.
To increase institutional empowerment of public authorities for the implementation of the national business development policy by establishing the Small and Medium Business Development and Support Agency.
To prepare a two-year strategy for the development of small and medium businesses with an action plan to ensure SME support in the post-crisis period.
Entities involved in the reform implementation
The Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Ukraine, Office for Small and Medium Business Development at the Ministry of Economy, State-owned Enterprise "ProZorro", the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

The only thing better than lighting a fire in space is lighting a fire in space again — and again! On Sunday, June 4, the pyromaniacal hooligans at NASA successfully performed their third Spacecraft Fire Experiment (SAFFIRE) inside an Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft. Lighting up in space — which sounds wildly irresponsible — will actually help scientists prepare astronauts for deep space missions should something go awry.
SAFFIRE-III is a follow-up to NASA's SAFFIRE I and II, which were completed in June and November of 2016, respectively. The plan for this iteration of the experiment was pretty simple: Cygnus would depart the International Space Station and burn up inside the vessel for about 20 minutes. NASA is currently downlinking the results, which are sure to be glorious.
Besides getting the chance to light a fire in space, which is objectively awesome, SAFFIRE can help NASA scientists understand how fire spreads in microgravity and prepare safety measures accordingly. Fire is especially dangerous during orbital missions because astronauts are typically enclosed in pretty tight quarters and ventilation fans onboard can feed a fire the air it needs to move in any direction.
"As the first chance to actually study a realistically scaled fire, the SAFFIRE experiments have provided valuable insight into fire behaviour inside a confined low-gravity environment," David Urban, SAFFIRE principal investigator, said in a statement.
This will be the last SAFFIRE mission for some time. According to NASA, the next class of the experiment will fly in 2019.
"SAFFIRE IV-VI will extend the research by including larger, more energetic fires and by testing post-fire cleanup systems," Urban explained.
Here's to many more bonfires in the final frontier.

Q: XNA Zune HD application won't exit gracefully I have and built and deployed the application created by the new project template for the zune hd. The problem is whenever the application exits, the Zune reboots. This happens when remotely debugging from the PC or when running it right from the device. It happens both in debug mode and release. I've included the basic template code, but it's pretty generic. Anyone have any ideas?
public class DrawGame : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
{
    private GraphicsDeviceManager m_graphics;
    private SpriteBatch m_spriteBatch;

    public DrawGame()
    {
        m_graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
        Content.RootDirectory = "Content";

        TargetElapsedTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1 / 30.0);
    }

    protected override void Initialize()
    {
        base.Initialize();
    }

    protected override void LoadContent()
    {
        m_spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
    }

    protected override void UnloadContent()
    { }

    protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
        {
            this.Exit();
        }

        base.Update(gameTime);
    }

    protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

        m_spriteBatch.Begin();
        m_spriteBatch.End();

        base.Draw(gameTime);
    }
}

A: This is actually by design and not you doing anything wrong.
See MSDN and this blog

The features that become disabled are the playback of DRM music and the ability to share content with other Zunes (outside of game information). The reason we do this is we want to keep the Zune secure while you're writing your games on the device. The only way for us to re-enable these features is to restart the device

Marvel - May 1988
First full appearance and origin of Venom
Last black Spider-Man costume
As we all know by now, the rights for Spider-Man is now shared by Sony Pictures and Marvel, but many of the other great Spidey characters are still owned by Sony. Since that's the case, there are still rumors of Spider-Man spin-off movies.
A while back, before the disaster of a movie known as Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony was teasing us with the idea of a Sinister Six movie, a Black Cat movie and a Venom vs. Carnage movie. Well, it would seem that these movies are still a possibility. I'm assuming that Sony is seeing how well everyone's favorite webslinger does in the new Spider-Man: Homecoming film that comes out later this year.
It would seem that Sony's plans have changed slightly. Now the spin-off is only going to feature Venom, which seems like a good idea to me. You can't have Carnage without Venom after all, so let's get some backstory on these characters before we have them go head to head on the big screen.
Anyway, since I've already talked about the first appearance of Carnage, it's now time to tackle the first appearance of Venom.
From Amazing Spider-Man #299
Acutally, if you want to get technical about it, this is the third appearance of Venom. In ASM #298, we see the alien symbiote envelope the hands of who we now know is Eddie Brock. This might be considered a cameo appearance, but I'm not exactly sure since only the hands are shown. Neither CGC or CBCS note any appearance of Venom.
He also makes an appearance in three panels of ASM #299. This time, we get to see the full character, not just his hands. This issue is considered the first cameo appearance of Venom by the big two grading companies, and Overstreet recognizes it as his "1st brief appearance".
It isn't until issue #300 that we get our first full story featuring the villainous Venom. We also learn that underneath the symbiote. is disgraced journalist Eddie Brock, and he isn't the "Lethal Protector" that he's become today. He started out as a unforgiving killer, hellbent on revenge.
Before Eddie was writing "venomous celebrity exposes", he was a journalist at the Daily Globe, writing an expose on the serial killer Sin Eater. He was getting information from someone claiming to be the Sin Eater himself. When Spider-Man captured the real Sin Eater, Brock was left to look like a fool for writing false stories. He became the laughing stock of the journalism world and was forced to write the garbage that he was. He blamed Spider-Man for his downfall. Add that to the hatred that the alien symbiote has toward Peter Parker for being rejected, and you have one mean, hateful, superpowered badass.
At the end of the issue, Peter Parker decides to go back to his original red and blue tights instead of the black ones. Now that Venom exists, the black costume would be more likely to strike fear into people than a feeling of hope.
This comic has been on the radar for a long time and Venom is definitely one of the more fan favorites of Spider-Man foes. And even with all of the copies that are out there, this issue still demands a good amount of cash for high grade copies.
There are also a couple of reprints and foreign editions out there for you variant hunters. I'm not going to get into the foreign editions, but I will go over a few of the reprints in the order they were released.
Chromium Edition
First, in 1998, Marvel came out with a Chromium Edition of this issue. This reprint has an estimated print run of around 3,300 copies. What would the 90's be if we didn't have a chromium cover of this bad boy. I seems like all of the comics in the 90's were getting the chromium treatment. Even though this is a reprint, the low print run makes this a desirable comic and is quite expensive in high grades. It's not as valuable as the original first print, but it's not too far off. Even though the print run is low, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a copy online.
Wal-Mart Mini
The next copy was the mini version that was released in 2006. This was a Wal-Mart exclusive that was included in the Spider-Man 2 DVD's. The Sam Raimi version, not the Amazing Spider-Man 2 that starred Andrew Garfield. This version if actually far more affordable, but was harder to find copies online than the Chromuim Edition was. I'm not sure if that's because it has a low print run or because people just shoved them into their longboxes, but my bet would be the latter.
The third and final reprint that I'm going to talk about was released in 2007. While the first two reprints sported a cover that was similar or even identical to the original, this cover has completely new artwork by Patrick Scherberger. It is known as the Niagara Falls Edition. These copies are listed as "hard to find" on eBay, but I don't know just how hard. There are a few copies listed on there and it looks like a high grade copy might set you back a couple hundred bucks. So, not as expensive as the Chromium Edition, but a bit more than the Wal-Mart Mini copy.
If you're a variant hunter and want to add any of these to your collection, you can click on any of these variant pictures and you will be taken to the current eBay listings.
Ok, enough about reprints, let's take a look at some census numbers for the first print of ASM #300. Being an 80's comic, you can rest assured that there are plenty of copies, especially one of key issue status.
In the CGC census there have been, at the time of this writing 12,800 copies. That's more than the entire print run of some comics. And that's only the copies graded by CGC. There have also been multiple copies graded by both CBCS and PGX. If you're looking for a good investment copy, you should probably only be looking a 9.8 NM/M or 9.9 Mint copies. Right now, there are 850 9.8 NM/M copies, and, believe it or not, 10 copies graded a 9.9 Mint.
The market place gets flooded as soon as you move down to the 9.6 NM+. There have been well over 2,400 copies at that grade and there are even more graded at 9.4 NM with over 2,600 copies. With so many copies at this grade, I don't see values rising up for these very fast.
Value of Amazing Spider-Man
#300 on GoCollect
Speaking of values, it' that time in the post that I talk about some sales figures. It looks like, for the 9 months or so, that 9.8 NM/M copies have consistently sold for over the $1,000 mark and have started to creep their way up to the $1,100 and $1,200 mark. However, 9.6 NM+ copies are selling for much less. Sales have been hovering around the $400 mark for close to the past year, which is only slightly up from $300 to $350 the year before that.
Sales for copies below 9.0 get a little weird. In Jan. of 2016, you could get an 8.5 VF+ copy for slightly more than what some people were buying 4.5 VG+ copies for. They were both selling for slightly less that $150 at that time. That is interesting to me, but also confusing at the same time. If I had the choice to spend $150 on a comic, I would definitely buy the highest grade I could at that price, not settle for a crappy low grade book for the same price, but that's just me.
Anyway, this is a popular comic, and does sell quite well, especially in high grades. It's consistently #1 or #2 on the most active list at GoCollect. If Sony does make a Venom, or a Venom vs. Carnage movie in the near future, this comic could see a nice bump in demand, and in value.

Pep Comics #22
MLJ Magazines - Dec. 1941
First appearance of Archie Andrews
First appearance of Betty Cooper
First appearance of Jughead
Superheroes aren't the only characters from comic books making their way to the small screen. The CW network is home to many popular comic related T.V. shows like The Flash, Supergirl, and Arrow, is now coming out with the show Riverdale.
This new show, which premiers later this month, looks as though it's going to be based very loosely on the characters of Archie, Betty and Jughead, who all live in Riverdale. It seems as though they are taking the light, comedic tone of the comic, and turned into a much darker teen drama. At least that's how it looks from watching the trailers.
Tucked in between stories with Golden Age heroes like The Shield and The Hangman, is everyone's favorite red head from Riverdale, Archie Andrews. This comic came out just as the U.S. was entering into WWII, so many of the stories are war based or have our heroes battling the evil Germans in some for or another. The war was everywhere during this time, like in the newspaper, on the radio, and even in comics, the lighthearted nature of Archie and his pals was a nice change from all of the news of the war.
Archie and Betty
Not only does this comic have the first appearance of Archie, it also has the first appearance of at least two other long time Archie characters, Jughead and Betty Cooper.
When we first meet Archie "Chick" Andrews, he is walking along a fence, trying to impress a pretty young girl. That young girl is none other than Betty Cooper. Betty has been a love interest of Archie's from the very beginning. However, it wouldn't be long before she had to compete with Veronica Lodge for Archie's attention, but I'll get to that at another time.
Later in the story, we get to meet Forsythe "Jughead" Jones III. He is Archie's best friend. He's sarcastic, a bit on the lazy side and wants nothing to go with girls and all of the "problems" that come with them. He is kind of like Archie's sidekick. He also reminds me of Whimpy from Popeye, in the way that he is almost always eating something, usually a hamburger.
Archie and Jughead
This comic here is pretty damn near impossible to find, raw or graded. The CGC census numbers are very very low. To date, there have only been 23 copies graded by them, and almost half of them have been Restored. Most of the copies listed are low to mid grade, but there are a couple high grade copies on there as well. There is one 9.0 VF/NM and one 9.4 NM, both of which are Restored. If you're looking for a blue Universal label, you'll have to go down to a very respectable 8.0 VF.
So it looks like this is a very scarce comic. If you're lucky enough to find a copy, expect to shovel out some serious cash for it, do to fact that there are so few copies, and that Archie is still a very popular character.
From Heritage Auctions
There isn't a lot of sales information that I could find for this issue, but what I did find really blew my mind. There were a couple of copies that sold recently at Comic Link. Both were low grade and one is restored. The first is a CBCS Certified 2.0 G copy. This low grade sucker ended up selling for $31,249. The next copy, a CGC Restored 5.5 F-, sold for much less at $21,250. If there is any debate if restored comics sell for less that unrestored, then there's your answer. A higher grade copy, a CGC Universal 7.0 F/VF, sold at Heritage Auctions back in Nov. 2014 for $143,400. So, you're gonna have to have some pretty deep pockets if you want to add this comic to your collection.
To the best of my knowledge, there haven't been any eBay sales for this comic in the past 4-5 years. I don't have any information on any sales that may have come before that.
At the time of this writing, I could only find one copy available for sale online at MyComicShop. I've included the other links below because you never know when a copy will be thrown on the market. If you can't find anything at the links below, you can also check out Heritage Auctions for a copy.

D.C. Comics - Oct. 1966
First appearance and origin of Ocean Master
Sorry folks, I know it's been a while since my last post. Between work and getting ready for the holidays, I was pretty busy and didn't have a lot of extra time for anything else. But now that the holidays are over, let's get back to some key issue comics.
While I was away, it was announced that Patrick Wilson, who played Nite Owl in The Watchmen, was cast in the "now in production" Aquaman movie. Wilson will be playing the role of Orm Marius, Aquaman's half brother, that is also known as the villainous Ocean Master.
Tom Curry is the father of both Ocean Master and Aquaman. He is a human that fell in love with the exiled Atlantean princess, Atlanna. They fell in love and had a baby called Arthur, who would grow up to be Aquaman. After the death of Atlanna, Tom remarried and had another child, Orm, with Mary O'Sullivan, who was also a human.
Since Orm has no Atlantean blood in him like Aquaman does, he doesn't have any of his abilities. Orm was always jealous of Aquaman and his anger often got him in trouble as a lad, and was always being bailed out by his brother. One day, Orm was struck in the head by a falling rock and lost his memory. He couldn't remember who he was or that he even had a brother at all. Soon after that, Orm vanished, but he would return years later as Ocean Master.
I'm a little surprised at how few of these comics have been graded by CGC so far. At the time of this writing, there are only 188 copies listed on their census. Most of the copies are graded between 5.0 VG/F all the way up to 9.6 NM+. There are three highest grade 9.8 NM/M copies, none of which have been restored. So if your looking for a nice high grade copy, there are some out there. Whether they are for sale or not, that's a different story.
Don't let these census numbers fool you though. This book might not be quite as rare a you may think they are. Although I don't know have print run information, there are a lot of raw copies floating around out there. And let's not forget the copies that were graded by CBCS, but since they still have no census data available, there's no way of knowing how many there are.
It wasn't that long ago that Aquaman comics were very affordable, even for key issues, but ever since they announced that the character was going to appear in his own movie, values for these early Aquaman key issues has soared through the roof. Just one example of for 8.0 VF copies. In 2012, before all of the hype, a copy sold on eBay for the small price of $39.99, and after the sales went up to $575 in 2015. It was the same thing with 9.0 VF/NM copies. In 2012, a CGC copy sold for $43.25 pre-hype, and jumped up to $1199.99 in Sept of 2016.
A buddy of mine was hunting for a lot of these early Aquaman key issues at the very beginning of the movie rumors, and now I can understand why. I really don't know where the values will continue to go, but from looking at other hype books like this one, I don't think it's going to go up, but I've been wrong before. However, I do know that if you have a copy, now might be the best time to throw it out in the market and try to make a nice chunk of change.

Salesforce takes space in downtown WeWork

San Francisco tech company Salesforce now has a downtown Denver office presence. (Courtesy Flickr/Pest15)
San Francisco-based Salesforce quietly has established a presence in downtown Denver.
The cloud-based software behemoth has taken space at the recently opened WeWork in the Wells Fargo Center at 1700 Lincoln St.
The company has taken at least two of WeWork's large suites on the 16th floor. WeWork opened in the building in mid-February.
A Salesforce spokesman declined to comment on the company's presence in WeWork, saying only that Salesforce has had a presence in Colorado since it opened a Louisville office in 2013, and now has 160 employees working in the Denver metro area.
WeWork could be just the start of Salesforce's expansion in the Mile High City.
The company has been shopping for as much as 250,000 square feet in Denver, according to multiple sources. (Asked about this, the spokesman said Salesforce does not comment on "rumors or speculation.")
Salesforce would not be the first company to join a WeWork before expanding more widely in Denver. Amazon, for example, is occupying space at the Tabor Center WeWork before it moves into its new office at 1515 Wynkoop St. in LoDo.
Founded in 1999, Salesforce lists 16 offices in the U.S. on its website, including Louisville and the Salesforce tower in San Francisco. Across the globe, Salesforce has 25 countries. The company builds customer relationship management tools for more than 150,000 companies, according to its website.

Q: Catchable fatal error: Object of class mysqli_stmt could not be converted to string I'm new to PHP OOP so this question must be quite dumb.
I'm unable to create an SQL query through PHP. I've read the code many times but I'm unable to find any discrepancy and even the editor isn't displaying any error. I'm using PHP 5.5.13, MYSQL 5.5.24 and APCHE Server 2.2.22.
Following is the code:
Test_signup.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>
            Test Sign Up
            </title>
        </head>
        <body>
                <form action = "Signup.php" method = "POST" name = "test_signup">
                Full Name: <input type = "text" name = 'full_name'>
                User Name: <input type = 'text' name = 'user_name'>
                Email: <input type = 'text' name = 'email_add'>
                <input type = "submit" name = "submit">
            </form>

        </body>
    </html>

Now coming to the Signup.php
<?php
$con = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'my_database');
      if ($con->connect_error)
      {
        echo 'Failed to connect' . $con->connect_error;
      }
      else
      {
        echo 'Connected';
        $stmt_chk_email = $con->prepare('SELECT * FROM `user_information` WHERE `Email` = ?');
        $stmt_chk_email->bind_param('s', $_POST['email_add']);
        echo $stmt_chk_email;
?>

When trying to run this code, I'm receiving an error:

Object of class mysqli_stmt could not be converted to string

Of course the original query is much larger than posted here. I've edited the later part of the query as I figured out that the problem resides within the SQL "SELECT" statement but I'm unable to figure it out. Kindly help me on this.
Thank you.

A: you cant echo this
echo $stmt_chk_email;
you maybe want to echo this
     $stmt_chk_email = $con->prepare('SELECT column1 ,column2,... FROM `user_information` WHERE `Email` = ?');
     $stmt_chk_email->execute();
     $stmt_chk_email->store_result();
     $stmt_chk_email->bind_result($column1 ,$column2,.....);
     $stmt_chk_email->fetch();
  echo $column1;
  echo $column2 ;
  .....

A:         $stmt_chk_email = $con->prepare('SELECT `column` FROM `user_information` WHERE `Email` = ?');
        $stmt_chk_email->bind_param('s', $_POST['email_add']);
        $stmt_chk_email->execute();
        $stmt_chk_emeil->store_result();
        $stmt_chk_email->bind_result($check_email);
        $stmt_chk_email->fetch();
        echo $check_email;

OR
    $stmt_chk_email = $con->prepare('SELECT * FROM `user_information` WHERE `Email` = ?');
    $stmt_chk_email->bind_param('s', $_POST['email_add']);
    $stmt_chk_email->execute();

    $result = $stmt_chk_email->get_result();

    if($result->num_rows == 1)
    {
         $result = $result->fetch_array();
         echo $result['column_name'];
    }


The 2016 Mercedes AMG GT is a 2 seat, 2 door sports coupe made by Mercedes-AMG. The first AMG Coupe was introduced in 2014 and is said to feature one of the fastest engines ever produced for any race car model. Its predecessor is Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
The body kit is very muscular, with fine line and accents. The hood for the new AMG GT coupe is very long whereas the boot is shorter and a little pushed in. A diamond pattern front grille, a thin air dam under the grille makes the apron, and air intakes are mounted on the sides further complete the front. Out back, thin extended tail lights assist the muscular bumper. There are large exhaust pipes fixed on the rear, giving the car a very sturdy looking rear end. The greenhouse is also stretched out in a concave shape. The 20 inch alloy wheels embody R20 performance tires. The wheelbase for the new AMG GT is 103.5 inches. The length is 179 inches, whereas the width and height are 76.3 inches and 50.7 inches respectively.
The new Mercedes AMG GT interior is based on a jet plane cockpit theme. The aviation impression is further strengthened by concave door panels, wing shaped dashboard and circular air conditioning vents. The centre console is taller and the seats are lower than usual which further elevates the feeling. The centre console is uniquely designed in a V shaped format with 8 AMG drive units arranged along its edges. Most of the interior materials are either aluminum or carbon fibers, whereas the fabrics are available in black red combinations with red contrast stitches. The instrument panel features a Burmester radio system, USB connection, a video monitor and a DVD player.
The new Mercedes AMG GT 2016 is equipped with a 4.0 liter Double Overhead Cam V8 direct fuel inject engine can deliver 456 horsepower at 6000 rpm and generate a torque of 443 pound-feet at 1600 rpm. The engine can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds while the maximum speed for it is 189 mph. The engine's maximum displacement is recorded to be around 3982 cc. The other version of the GT standard is GT S, which generates 503 hp and 479 lb.ft of torque, its top speed is 192 mph and it takes 3.7 seconds to hit 60.
The 2016 Mercedes AMG GT price is not small and for this sporty coupe is $129,900 and it will be available for sale in the spring of 2015.
The coupe has a strong engine, a lighter chassis and great fuel economy all available in one classy car and will be the centre of attention for many sports car lovers.

We serve a big God. One who is greater than we can imagine; who measures the universe by the span of His hand. His ways are higher than ours, and His wisdom in choosing whom He works through is amazing. He chooses the unlikely, the "not yet" of this world. He chooses the unexpected, and often times, the inexperienced (1 Cor. 20:25-31). And in doing so, He receives even more praise for it! He did this time and time again throughout history, and He still does it today.
My 7-year-old loves Jesus. She talks about His greatness. She smiles over His love. She draws pictures of Him and writes letters to Him. She prays that her friends would love God… "really love God." But it doesn't stop there. She lets her little voice be heard. She courageously talks to our neighbors in her developing second language. With joy, she asks if they know Jesus, and then proceeds to tell them of all that she knows of her Savior. She considers our neighbors by wanting to spend time with them, bringing gifts and notes…anything.
I see God's love working through this child. It's undeniable. She wants to share her Joy with them. Is it always perfectly executed? No. But it is being perfected by the One who has promised to do so. There is a big God in her young heart…and He can't help but be seen!
What a great reminder! We don't have to be an adult with a well-thought-out ministry plan, years of experience, or even move to another country to be a missionary. Having a heart convinced of His love for us and for others is what is required…and God will do the rest!

Swansea City Under-23s Daniel James
Daniel James expressed his delight at netting Swansea City Under-23s' winner against Blackburn at Landore on Monday.
The 18-year-old stepped up to score the development squad's second-half winner after defender Joe Rodon was fouled in the area.
The win sees the young Swans stay top of Premier League 2 (Division 2) with an unbeaten home record still intact following wins over West Brom and West Ham in August.
And the winger, who won his first cap for Wales Under-21s earlier this month, insists he wants to net more goals for the Swans this season.
"I'm really pleased with the performance of the team and to get my second goal of the season," he said.
"Oli (McBurnie) is usually the penalty taker, but after he was substituted at half-time I knew it was my chance for a spot-kick.
"Scoring gives me extra confidence. I got my first of the season against Wolves last month and goals are definitely something I want to add to my game.
"As a forward it is really important to contribute to the team. Goals win games at the end of the day, so I was pleased to help the team bounce back from last week's defeat and get the win.
"Blackburn pressed us right from the kick-off and it was a tough game on Monday but our character showed in front of our home fans.
"We always perform well at Landore. Our aim now must be to stay strong and focused and look to maintain our unbeaten home run over the coming weeks."


I used to think I needed to work all the time, now I know I need balance and rest.
I used to think work would give me the fulfillment I wanted. Now I know my health is my wealth and that I need to pay attention to my needs.
I used to think everyone else would get ahead of me if I didn't work as hard or as much as others. Now, I know this isn't a race. This is my life and I can choose what provides the most health and happiness for me.
I used to think that validation from certain people at work would be the best thing ever. Now I know that valuing the love and support from my family and friends is the best thing ever. I also know that I can affirm myself at anytime.
I used to think I could sacrifice my health, family time and hobby time for the sake of work. Now, I know sacrificing my health, family time and hobby time is truly not what I want.
I used to think money would bring me the happiness I longed for. Now I know true happiness is found somewhere else.
I used to think taking breaks at work would hurt me. Now I know that not taking breaks will hurt me.
I used to think if I stopped working I'd be missing out on something. Now I know when I stop working, I open myself up to increased productivity and creativity.
I used to think the best ideas will come during work. Now I know the best ideas come when my mind and spirit are at rest.
I used to think work comes first. Now I know I have to come first.
I used to think I had no control over work. Now I know I control what I do, when I do it and how I do it.
I used to think balance was impossible. Now I know balance is a goal that is attainable.
I used to think I'd never have hobbies again. Now I know that I can budget time for the activities I enjoy.
I used to think my priorities had to be rigid. Now I know I can reassess things at anytime.
I used to think being satisfied would lead to complacency. Now I know that celebrating milestones brings great satisfaction.
I used to think I could never do enough at work. Now I know when to say enough so that my health isn't compromised.
I used to work too much. Now I work enough.

Van Nistelrooy on disability and access to football
UEFA Champions League ambassador Ruud van Nistelrooy is supporting this week's Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE)'s 'Total football, total access' campaign.
To support UEFA social responsibility partner the Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE), UEFA Champions League ambassador Ruud van Nistelrooy shares his personal experience with disabled fans, respects his disabled niece's determination, and gives advice to people willing to work in footbal in the video interview above.
CAFE's 'Total football, total access' annual campaign is supported by a large number of fan groups throughout Europe between 4 and 12 March 2017.
UEFA.org: As a former player, do you have a special memory with disabled fans?
Ruud van Nistelrooy: Definitely, I remember at Manchester United there is a disabled stand behind the goal and I think the access there was fantastic. Everything was created so that disabled people could come to Old Trafford and watch the game.
After the game there were also moments where we, as players, passed by for autographs, photos. I really enjoyed it, it was always great to see that disabled people are able to go to matches, to go to see games.
UEFA.org: Can disabled people work in football?
Van Nistelrooy: A disability doesn't mean that a person can't function the same as a non-disabled person. I think that it doesn't matter if you are disabled or not. I have a niece who is severely disabled and she is an inspiration to me as well.
What she is able to do with her life and the mental strength she shows is fantastic. It's an inspiration to get everything out of your life.
UEFA.org: What's your message to disabled people wishing to work in football?
Van Nistelrooy: My message to them would be that when they have a strong feeling of motivation to become a great leader or a coach. In sports as well, in disabled sports, I think they should push and follow their dreams and their instincts. There are so many great examples of people and I can't wait to see more of this.
This coincide with UEFA social responsibility partner CAFE week of action. You can find more background information here: UEFA backs social responsibility partner's annual campaign, calling for access and inclusion of disabled people into all facets of the game.

Whether you're looking for a special gift or secretly splurging on yourself, San Francisco is home to a number of shopper-friendly neighborhoods and commercial districts brimming with high-end boutiques, trend-conscious local shops, quirky vintage stores and everything in between.
Ringed by hotels and theaters, and with the Powell Street cable car running up its western flank, Union Square is as much a shopping Mecca as a public plaza. Prominent department stores such as Macy's and Neiman Marcus command outsized attention, but other savvy high-profile stores have given the retail-rich neighborhood a fresh gloss. Premier luxury boutiques (Prada, Burberry and Dior) and shopping experiences like CH Carolina Herrera, St. John Knits and Gump's keep Union Square on top of most San Francisco shoppers' list.
On Stockton Street between Geary and Ellis, the Winter Walk returns, Nov. 25, 2017 - Jan.1, 2018. Caroling, food trucks and product demos will fill this open plaza in the heart of Union Square.
Yes, PIER 39 is San Francisco's top visitor attraction. And, yes, the sea lions are very popular. But PIER 39 also offers more than 60 specialty shops throughout two levels. So maybe while the kids explore the Aquarium of the Bay or take a boat ride on the Blue & Gold Fleet, you can pick up a jersey at the NFL store or find wooden puzzles and games at Solve It!. There's even a shop just for left-handers! If you have a thing for the beach, check out Shell Cellar, where you'll find shells and unique jewelry. Looking for that perfect San Francisco gift? Look no further than the San Francisco superstore for the best San Francisco souvenirs at Only in San Francisco.
In the Mission District, thriving Valencia Street's retail origins are visible in its thrift shops and specialized bookstores. More recent arrivals to the corridor include uber-hip boutiques (Voyager Shop), artisan goods from local and international designers (Little Paper Planes), terrariums and taxidermy (Paxton Gate) and Japanese denim (Self Edge). There's plucky holdout Aquarius Records; the gift-filled Italian deli, Lucca Ravioli; audiophile's paradise, Dijital Fix; and Heliotrope, with its customized aromatherapy blends. Off of Valencia Street, you'll find local shops Creativity Explored and Mission Art 415, among the best for great San Francisco artworks, and Sports Basement, the perfect spot to find something for that outdoorsy person in your life.
While it might be confusing to some visitors, Union Street is nowhere near Union Square. This strip of Cow Hollow is home to lavish health-and-beauty emporiums such as the Lash Lab. Similar offerings include specialists in juice cleanses, pilates and yoga apparel. Other neighborhood gems include jewelers David Clay and La Bijouterie; Moulin Pooch, possibly San Francisco's fanciest pet shop; stationers Union Street Papery; and Images of the North, which offers one of the most extensive collections of Inuit art.
With the addition of 185,000 square feet, San Francisco Premium Outlets is now the largest outdoor outlet center in California. Located in Livermore, 42 miles east of San Francisco, there are 170 stores, including luxury and brand-name retailers like Gucci, Versace, Tod's, Ted Baker, Bally, CH Carolina Herrera, Roger Viver, All Saints, Sarar, A/X Armani Exchange, and more. Tri-Valley Rapid buses connect to the Pleasanton/Dublin BART station. Check out other outlets in Vacaville, Gilroy and Napa.

Arrest rates higher for Central Ga. blacks, USA Today finds
In cities and counties across Central Georgia, blacks are far more likely to be arrested than whites.
That's according to a USA Today investigation that looked at arrest rates for blacks and non-blacks by more than 3,800 local police departments across the United States.
They found that hundreds of police agencies' reported arrests show a disparity that is greater than Ferguson, Mo., the community that has become a touchstone for that issue in recent months.
USA Today said those numbers are not proof of racism or racial profiling.
Experts said disparities could be caused by many factors, some of which may be race-neutral.
But they said big differences in arrest rates is a red flag that should lead to a deeper look at departments' arrest rates.
The study compares the arrest rates in cities and towns during 2011-2012, for both blacks and non-blacks.
For example, in Hancock County, the sheriff's department arrested 448 blacks -- 64 for every 1,000 blacks in the county.
There were 47 non-blacks arrested. That's 19 for every 1,000 non-blacks in Hancock County.
That makes the rates for blacks 3.3 times higher than for all others.
That's the largest disparity in Central Georgia and makes Hancock the only department in the area with a larger disparity than Ferguson, Missouri. Blacks there are 2.8 times as likely to be arrested, USA Today found.
Other departments with higher disparities: McRae, Dublin, Sandersville and Centerville.
In Dooly County and unincorporated Bibb County, on the other hand, whites were statistically more likely to be arrested in 2012 than blacks.
Blacks were 2.3 times as likely to be arrested in the city of Macon during that time and, in Warner Robins, the rate was 2.2 times higher.

Here are the rates for Central Georgia departments, as reported by USA Today:

I think the statement had something to do with trying to stop her mom from cooking vegetables.
I thought that she wanted to make True Art, myself. I mean, it IS Incomprehensible.
It's as good as anything else in Modern Art.


When you look out for a funeral home to pre-plan the funeral of a family member, or your own funeral, it is important to ask them certain questions. This ensures that you will get the expected standards of services, when the time comes. Here are ten important questions that you need to ask when you reach out to a funeral home.
For how many years have you been in business?
Are you a part of any association or organization?
Do you have inhouse staff or outsource the services to other vendors?
What are the types of funeral packages offered by you?
Do my personal beliefs limit my options?
What are the basic costs and additional expenses I have to bear?
Can I get customized funeral services?
What are the payment options for me?
Are you familiar with insurance on final expenses?
These questions will yield the answers to all the queries you might have. In case you have further questions, you can have a talk with the funeral director. When you seek funeral services from the funeral homes, you may go for customized services. Have a look at the range of customization that they provide. Consider the payment options when you choose the funeral home.
Evaluate all the funeral packages, examining the range of services included in each package. You may want to reduce the expenses while arranging for the funeral.

Ellis & Associates' "vanGUARD: Aquatic Leadership Program" honoured
Last updated Sep 16, 2020
Ellis & Associates' (E&A) vanGUARD: Aquatic Leadership Program has achieved Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC) Certification – making it the first-ever Lifeguard Supervisor Course to receive CMAHC Certification.
Founded in 1983 as the world's first, dedicated aquatic safety and risk management firm, E&A has always been at the forefront of researching, developing and teaching advanced life-saving skills. Recognising that leadership skills go hand-in-hand with aquatic safety, E&A developed the vanGUARD: Aquatic Leadership Program to extend lifeguard training beyond the pool, equipping supervisors and leaders with the skills necessary to not only perform, but also administer and evaluate, their teams and aquatic environment.
Included in the vanGUARD: Aquatic Leadership Program is how to administer and monitor the industry-wide adopted "Zone of Protection" standard that is now part of the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) and recognized by aquatic facilities around the globe. The program also covers preventative measures to reduce risks, mitigate health and safety hazards and inspect emergency rescue equipment.
"Our vanGUARD: Aquatic Leadership program provides critical training for Lifeguard Supervisors, equipping them with inspection, administration, supervision and critical-thinking skills that will make them better lifeguards and supervisors," said Joe Stefanyak, Senior Director, E&A. "Our ultimate goal is to reduce risk and keep all swimmers safe. We're honoured to be the first-ever Lifeguard Supervisor Course to receive CMAHC Certification, and we look forward to continuing to develop proactive and innovative strategies, products and services that truly make a difference within the aquatics industry."
Launched in 2018, the CMAHC certification programme helps educate the public about products and services that meet the strict, science-based standards in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC). If followed, the guidance in the MAHC helps reduce the risk for disease outbreaks, drownings, and chemical injuries at public aquatic facilities. The CMAHC awards certification to services or products that comply with the relevant or applicable standards in the latest MAHC edition.
CMAHC certification is not a single occurrence. Rather, the intent is to build a long-term quality control partnership. After initial certification, the CMAHC re-evaluates each certified service or product annually to ensure it continues to meet the same high standards required in the MAHC to maintain certification. Services or products that earn a CMAHC certification are said to be "CMAHC certified" and may display the CMAHC certification emblem to demonstrate they have been evaluated for conformance with the requirements in the latest MAHC edition.

Ten scare zones set for Busch Gardens Tampa's Howl-O-Scream


Sometimes, mistakes happen. Sometimes, mistakes are salvageable!
I had whipped cream (about 150ml, thereof); and made some caramel (enough sugar to just cover the bottom of a small pan, covered in water; heated gently until a medium-dark caramel formed).
The theory, was I'd whip the liquid caramel into the cream; and something delicious would result! I was hoping for thin strands of caramel.
Turns out, the caramel liquified the cream; and the cream refused to be whipped back up.
Luckilly, cream comes in 300ml bottles; and I had the rest of the bottle. So, I whipped the remaining cream, then introduced the liquified-caramel-failure slowly; and I ended up with a mousse like dessert treat. Hoorah!
It ended up being quite bittersweet; tasting a little bit coffee-like.
Cherry Clafouti, I know you're in there! Come out, with your hands up!
I saw a picture of a cherry clafouti when I was poking about on eGullet in the past week or so. It was handsome. So when I saw there were cherries at the supermarket this evening, I decided that I was going to make cherry clafouti!
There's always a catch to any good story.
It turns out that I don't have an appropriate dish for making clafouti. My first choice of dish, a springform pan, was a predictable mistake. Faced with a leaky springform pan full (but emptying) of batter, I had to find a second choice, and fast!
It turns out that I don't have that much in the way of "things for baking food in". However, among the things I do have for baking food in, were muffin tins. And by some bizarre fluke of the universe, a muffin tray was precisely the right amount of space for the reduced quantity of batter that I made! But I'm getting a little ahead of myself here.
At the supermarket, when I decided that cherry clafouti would be mine (oh yes, it would be mine); I wasn't too sure what was actually involved – I knew there was some kind of doughy mixture with cherries poking out. I figured that to make the doughy mixture, I'd find the ingredients in my pantry. This was almost correct; but I wasn't missing anything that I couldn't substitute. I'm digressing again, aren't I. Lets jump forward in time to when I started looking at recipes.
When it comes down to it, clafouti is batter over fruit (cherries, in this case). It shouldn't be that hard to make. That doesn't stop some people from having convoluted recipes with eggs and yolks, or ground almonds or all sorts of other little complications. I ended up going with the simplest batter recipe that I came across, with an important variation: There's only one of me, and while I regard dessert as being the most important meal of the day, I can only eat so much dessert. Instead of making the dessert as in the recipe, I ended up making roughly a third of the recipe (One egg worth, non-divisible things that they are. (That's not strictly true – it's just a pain to split an egg)). On with the procedure!
Start off with roughly two heaped tablespoons of flour, with just a pinch of salt. Then, make a well in the middle, and add the egg. Whisk the egg into the flour until it's a smooth paste. Next, take about one cup of milk; and whisk it into the paste. Once the milk has been incorporated, add a splash of kirsch (or in my kitchen, I decided the best substitute for kirsch was probably going to be cognac), and about a tablespoon of caster sugar (the fine stuff; but not too fine!).
Take a muffin tray with cups that hold about one cup. Place two to three cherries in the bottom of six cups (I'd read that leaving the stones in was better for dessert, but less good for guests; so left the stones in. Next time, I think I might pit them, though – having the cherry juice run through the batter seems like a good thing); then pour in enough of the batter to reach about 2/3 the way up the cherries.
Cook the baby clafouti for about 35 minutes in a 190C oven – until the tops have puffed and turned brown.

Registration of Importer under Legal Metrology Act
The legal provisions in metrology define the list of articles for weight or measure, so that the application for registration is only accepted for these articles. From underdeveloped infrastructure, complicated procedures to limited access to finance, there are several factors preventing Indian exporters from reaching their full potential and making them less competitive in the global market. Therefore, the activity of legal metrology is crucial for the public interest. The Executive, Legal Metrology is a legal entity with powers and responsibilities with respect to interstate commerce and weights and measures activities, including prepackaged products, as defined in the Legal Metrology Act of 2009. The Director of Legal Metrology is also responsible for establishing legal metrology standards and ensuring that they are separate. The Director`s primary responsibilities are regulation, enforcement and research, as well as the ability to conduct specialized field investigations, searches, seizures, workplace call-ups and charges. – Legal metrology regulates the control of measurements and measuring instruments. Legal metrology also protects public safety, the environment, consumers and traders and is crucial for fair trade. These measures have an impact on economic and personal well-being. The registration of a company as a manufacturer, importer or packer of scales and measuring instruments and devices must take place within the framework of legal metrology. Government agencies have developed a systematic procedure for registering a corresponding company within the framework of legal metrology.
Upon receipt of a complete application form, the registration authority inspects the importer`s premises and, if all is in order, registers the applicant and issues an LMPC certificate. This usually takes up to 20 days. Do you import prepackaged products for sale and distribution? If you do, you should know that you cannot import these goods into India without a Metrology Legal Registration Certificate, commonly known as the Packaged Legal Metrology Product Certificate (LMPC). An LMPC certificate is an import requirement under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and the Legal Metrology (Packaged Goods) Regulations, 2011. The law regulates trade in goods sold or distributed by weight, measure or number. By establishing strict rules and regulations, including for pre-packaged products, the law aims to promote fair business practices and protect consumer rights. Any importer who imports a prepackaged good for distribution or sale must apply for a package or manufacturer licence in accordance with Rule 27 of the Legal Metrology of Packaged Products Rules, 2011. Registration must be requested within 90 days of the import start date. The Department of Consumer Affairs of the Government of India defines and implements legal metrology standards. While the Legal Metrology Act of 2009, which falls under central jurisdiction, has been referred to as model legislation, each Indian state has the ability to accept the law with or without amendment.
However, some states have passed their own laws to address the challenges and concerns associated with legitimate metrology. Metrology is the study of measurements. And legal metrology deals with units and methods of weight and measurement in relation to mandatory legal and technical requirements. This is the official definition of legal metrology. But what exactly is its relevance when applied to prepackaged products? The Law on Legal Metrology establishes specific standards and regulations for the sale and distribution of packaged goods. The Act also lays down the procedures to be followed when importing and exporting goods. If you want your business to run smoothly and efficiently, you need to have a system in place to protect the rights of consumers and buyers, and to do that, you need to follow the law that outlines the legal system of measurement and counting. This application should be submitted to the Director or Comptroller of the Central Department of Legal Metrology, New Delhi. Registration is valid for the entire country. The Law on Legal Metrology has established certain rules and regulations for the retail sale and distribution of packaged products. The law also establishes the guidelines to be followed when importing and exporting packaged goods/goods. In order to run a business competently and smoothly, you need to build a system of legal protection for buyers and consumers, and to establish a system of protection, you need to adhere to the law that describes the system of measurement and legal measurement.
If you don`t follow the rules set out in the statutory measurement and measurement system (law), you may face hefty fines and/or penalties, which could hurt your brand value and hinder the growth of your business. Accuracy and precision play a crucial role in measurement. An open and competent framework for legal metrology fosters confidence in trade, industry and consumers, and creates a willingness to agree on the conditions for conducting trade through (a) a commitment to the national economy by increasing incomes in various fields. (b) play an important role in reducing revenue losses in mining, coal, railways, industries and oil. (c) reducing the level of loss and waste in the infrastructure sectors.

SXSW10: The Big Showdown – GoWalla vs. Foursquare
March29, 2010
Well, now that SXSW 2010 is over and everyone has begun shoring up "their own conference overviews":http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/09/location-is-the-new-just-kill-yourself/, It's about time I finish off the last two posts on the conference.
So with out further adieu, here's my take on the "other big topic at this year's festival":http://blog.armadillostudios.ca/article/sxsw10-the-big-trend-is-web-typography. Yes, friends without question the big showdown of *SXSW 2010* was between geo-locational social network superpowers "GoWalla & Foursquare":http://twitpic.com/18fgd6.
The big guns were definitely brought out to play, as each of the two superpowers fought for the affection of the influential _first adopter_ crowd. In laymen terms, *they were coveting the nerds*.
The idea being that, if you win the Nerds (First Adopters), they'll return to their home town and influence others to join the network. Now to preface it, both foursquare and gowalla were predominant at the '09 version of the festival, but this was the big year. iPhones and Smartphones were are as common as underwear at SXSW and pretty much everyone at the conference was already using one of two power house apps. But the key for these two start-ups was to convert the nerds to their own service. To come out one top and _create the next Twitter Effect_.
So after all the final software updates, redesigns, secret badges and super, super duper checks-in were completed, who won?
The Big Winner Is…
Well, this may come as a shock, but I would have to venture that Austin based "GoWalla":http://gowalla.com/blog/2010/03/sxsw-2010-redux/ was the slight winner. Which for those following the Geo-Locational Network apps battle (or "even this web site":http://blog.armadillostudios.ca/article/foursquare-starts-to-make-waves-in-calgary) will see as a bit of shock.
"Foursquare":http://www.foursquare.com has been the _it company_ for this new section of the Social Media spectrum for over a year, with "predominant deals with national and local media outlets":http://foursquare.com/metronews and a buzz that's rivaled Twitter. But, with an ill-timed redesign roll-out and some glaring downtime issues, Foursquare seemed to miss a golden opportunity to squash the competition. Rather than blowing the socks off of the crowd, it left with a small whimper of excitement. Instead, smaller "GoWalla":http://www.gowalla.com was able to keep rolling with a crisper interface design ("just look at those gorgeous icons":http://gowalla.com/spots) and leverage the _cool small guy_ vibe to win over a majority of the _nerds_. By the end of the five days, most dedicated Social Media Enthusiasts and Insiders were gravitating towards GoWalla and away from Foursquare.
What this means for the future of Geo-Locational Networks is something that will play out shortly, but for the future if you are looking to expand your business into the Foursquare network, it would be best to keep one eye on GoWalla as you start to build your strategy. (Don't worry, they are both fairly interchangeable) Foursquare will still maintain it's buzz and significant edge on users, but GoWalla made a solid impression.
The question for the future will be, was it enough to sway a majority of the _First Adopters_ and their friends to make the switch.
