Conversations by Todd Rundgren, Dana Carvey and Hal Wilner: From our 1993 SNL issue
The story was originally published in the February 1993 issue of Spin, partly written and guest-edited by members of the SNL cast. Read interviews and stories of comedy icons from the era of Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadow, Lauren Michaels and others – in a package of stories highlighting the problem.
The word Talent So much loose is thrown around nowadays, but in the case of Todd Rundgren, anyone familiar with his work would agree that he fits this class. For nearly three decades, Rundgren, a major inventor of fine arts, has been influencing the influential Philly-based band Naz from its earliest days through its pop hit period ("Hello It's Me," "I'm the Light"), a video from the early 1980s. And currently, music and technical research in his avant-garde. Dana is a longtime fan and friend of Rundgren, while Rundgren was a Thelonius monk and contributed to the Kurt Weil concept album. – Hal Wilner
Dana Curve: Todd Flungren?
Todd Rundgren: Of course.
Carvey: Dana Skarki with Hal Bilner. What do you think about Madonna?
Rundgren: We don't have to start there, do we?
Carvey: No, we don't have to. It will be very complicated.
Hal Wilner: Give it a try. Singer In the historical sense, how do you see yourself as a singer, composer, or guitarist?
Rundgren: I'm a gearhead type of guy. Most of the things I'm working on now are related to computers. The music I'm working on right now is interactive music.
Wilner: What do you mean by interactive music?
Rundgren: Well, I've rediscovered myself as an artist – now, there's a scoop for you. When I left Warner Bros. about 18 months ago, I had this whole problem about where I was going to stay for the rest of my recording life, because I spent so much time making noise with the computer. When I entered the music business in the late sixties, it was completely different. People our age always go around saying, "Wasn't the music good then?" The whole industry was different then. When I first got into it, when I dropped out of high school in 1966, the Beatles had just reached their peak and people were beginning to realize that there was some legitimacy in the music business. No one went out expecting to be a musician all his life. The whole industry expanded so fast, this was the gold rush thing. There was an important moment Frampton is alive!, When there was such a thing as a multiplatinum album. Everything was multiplatinum.
Carvey: For the movie, it was Jaw – Basically, the first blockbuster.
Rundgren: The whole blockbuster concept, after which record companies are no longer independent. They are bought by big corporations and moved out of the country. Van Morrison? Is he selling 50,000 albums? Throw him away. It doesn't matter if someone is a musical icon. They are judged on the basis of their record sales.
Carvey: And how do you see the situation today?
Rundgren: What finally happened was that it went out of the other end, it had very little to do with music. What did you see Players? The whole scene where they are talking about eliminating the writer and then, in the end, okay, if we can just figure out how to get rid of the director and the actor. The whole music business is going that way, and that's why you have events like Madonna and Michael Jackson, where music is a reminder of the experience. Its worth and like buying a t-shirt yourself. You need to know this so that you can discuss Madonna's latest outburst at the cocktail party.
Carvey: Don't you think that some people are just professional celebrities?
Rundgren: What I'm saying is: they use the music business as an excuse for what they're doing. Madonna is a platinum-selling recording artist The fact is that people don't try to imitate the music they make. So I had to get some distance between me and the music business in the end. I decided to become an interactive artist because there are some things that I can specialize in, such as computers. At that moment I realized that making and marketing the music of this eel is completely different. For one thing, you don't go to record labels with such leading-edge formats as CD-I [Compact Disc Interactive, a video-CD system with a remote-controlled joystick] And fiber-optic, direct home delivery, and everything else that will happen in five or ten years and say, "Sign me in, and then I'll figure out what to do with the music." So, I did it differently: I'm an interactive artist and when I go to a record company, I license them a port for an interactive format. So the next record will come out not only as a CD, but it will also come out in a variety of other formats, especially CD-1 and possibly other devices.
Carvey: How common is the original CD, the source material, in terms of your last few albums?
Rundgren: It's not like a few albums in the past.
Carvey: A complete exit?
Rundgren: As one might expect, yes.
Wilner: Well, as an artist you still have, you have control over the options.
Rundgren: An artist can control as much as he wants, but the difference is that for the musician it is a different agenda that makes his work look like painting or sculpture. There is no strict format where the listener comes to the artwork and observes the message in the artwork. A sculptor is never sure what light is going to be on the object. This may be an ideal light, but it changes as you move around the object. So the way the message is conveyed to a part of the sculpture is completely different than the music; You don't set a deadline for how long you can see the piece of sculpture and you don't usually apply it to the corner where you can see it or even the environment in which they can see it. And it basically gives the listener an explanatory option that a musician usually doesn't give them. Musicians are extremely anal. Of all the artists, musicians are the greatest stealing artists, and yet they have a very strict program about how people want to feel about the way they steal. Most musicians go too far with accurate descriptions of words and performances, often completely obscuring their true personalities and creating a completely synthetic personality by striving for this false perfection. And then, if they had the option, they would tune their stereo sets to everyone's home walk so that the sound would sound the way they thought the record should be played.
Wilner: What is your most misunderstood record?
Rundgren: Lately this hasn't been a problem, because I'm not cranking hits like I used to. The most public misconception is, "We want you to be a woman", where people sometimes underestimate a lyricist's ability to work in a strictly grammatical sense. There's a line where it says, "Things about him are special when they're stupid but they're definitely fun." And women, feminist groups, thought I was talking about women. They said, "Examine it strictly from a grammatical point of view," but They Not things, not people. But I remember there were a few radio stations that received bomb threats for playing records.
Carvey: I want to say that I agree with those people.
Rundgren: I think the other more publicly misunderstood thing is the record that never went public. "Jesse" [about Republican Senator Jesse Helms] Not released on any record and most people think it's kind of an angry diet, but I think it's a very tender, loving moment. It didn't make a big difference, I think, because I was invited to the opening ball. And now I think that's why I've been invited to the opening ball.
Wilner: I think you voted.
Rundgren: Oh yes, always vote. You have to vote.
Wilner: Who invited you to the Clinton camp?
Rundgren: Apparently someone in the camp. This is one of the benefits of aging. My friends are leaving the organization. I have friends Live Saturday night Even. Maybe one day I'll play a show …
Carvey: It would be incredible.
Rundgren: Before my death.
Carvey: Do you feel when your audience doesn't really know you as I know you, and you come out with a hat that says "Blow me up" and then you sing "Only Human" or "Kindness" in the black leopard.
Rundgren: What this means is, don't take yourself so seriously. If you take it seriously or if you imagine me, you have a problem. This is such a great phrase ["blow me"] Because it has no forbidden words, but it has all the forbidden effects. In other words, you can go to the television at any time of the day or night and say "blow me away." On the radio or any public forum, you can say "blow me away." Blow A word that you can put in any context. So just remember, when you are particularly frustrated.

Combatting negative thoughts. Moodscope blog.
In August last year I was admitted to hospital after an overdose and was fortunate enough to receive some great therapy. Part of this was around combatting negative thoughts and turning them into less negative thoughts, or dare I say...more positive thoughts.
On discharge, I came back to Moodscope with a slightly different perspective. When I get to the positive cards, instead of dismissing them, I really look at what I have been doing and allow myself to score a little higher. Proud? Well, I did manage to achieve the tasks on my to do list and I called my mum, even though I wasn't really in the mood to talk. So yes, I am a little proud. I didn't let my mood dictate my actions. Active? I'm not running circuits, but I was able to get out of bed and shower without too much effort and I even managed a walk around the park.
I now use Moodscope daily, and really try to think about the words on the cards and pull the positives from my life. I find it really helps me put things in perspective and to stay focussed on the little achievements. My mood still fluctuates but my lows aren't quite so low, and my highs are that bit higher. If I wake up feeling low, I can use Moodscope to take a step back and put things into perspective. If I wake up feeling good, I can use Moodscope to celebrate my achievements.

Which plonker thinks Only Fools will work in the US?
Sir David Jason has told the BBC that he doesn't think plans to bring an Only Fools and Horses remake to US screens will work.
The 71-year-old, who played 'Del Boy' Trotter in the original comedy sitcom, said that the difference in humour would work against it.
"They can do brilliant comedy [in America] but I don't see that they can bring off Fools and Horses," he said of ABC's plan to make a pilot of the show.
Only Fools and Horses, which ran on UK screens from 1981 to 2003 and regularly tops polls as the UK's greatest ever sitcom, detailed the exploits of the hapless wheeler-dealer Del Boy and his younger brother Rodney.
"The language will have to change so much and there will be so many parts of the storyline you have to change," he continued.
"It's so London and so British, [in] its humour, that you wonder. It's London based and it took quite a long time for the rest of the country to catch up with the phrases.
The 1996 Christmas special of Only Fools and Horses was seen by more than 24 million people, making it one of the most-watched programmes in the history of British TV.

Hydration dependent mechanical performance of denture adhesive hydrogels

Objective - Hydration in denture adhesives regulates the formation of complex morphologies and mechanical function. Multiscale experimental approaches are required to evaluate the impact of hydration on the inherent heterogeneity of denture adhesive-based hydrogels at different length scales and the impact of such phenomena on adhesion performance.
Methods - The morphology of hydrated denture adhesives was examined via cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM). The rheological and thermodynamic behaviour of bulk hydrated deture adhesives was examined by rheology and differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The microscopic mechanical properties of the denture adhesives were characterised by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and compared to the properties measured at the macroscopic scale.
Results - The rheological and mechanical properties of commerically available denture adhesive hydrogels were found to be critically dependent on both the formulation of the adhesives and their hydration level. Clear progression of phase separation was observed in hydrated denture adhesives as hydration increased and changed the mechanical properties of the adhesives at multiple length scales. The adhesives displaying more heterogeneous structures, which were associated with the presence of hydrophobic and organic compounds in the formulation, exhibited more variable mechanical behaviour and weaker rheological properties, but stronger adhesive properties.
Significance - Our results are important in defining the relationships between hydrophilicity, hydration, mechanical and adhesive properties of denture adhesives, allowing the development of improved chemical formulations that control the fixation of dentures.

#16: Should every business have a China strategy?
David Thomas explores the business growth and commercial opportunities for Australian businesses with China, particularly the limitless inbound opportunities.
80% of China's GDP is now generated by the Chinese domestic market … so where are the business opportunities in China for Australian and New Zealand businesses?
The window of opportunity is closing for outbound opportunities, but what about the Inbound opportunities and what is the difference?
Stephanie: Hello and welcome to TEC Live. Stephanie Christopher here, Chief Executive of The Executive Connection. TEC connects CEOs, executives, and business owners to the world's largest business leader network. We're committed to delivering actionable insights, accelerating business performance and optimising decision making.
David Thomas is a speaker to our members. He's a China expert, a consultant with Think Global Consulting and president of the Australia China SMA association. Welcome David.
David: Thank you.
Stephanie: You're just back from China. I didn't go with you. You did invite me.
David: I did.
Stephanie: But I didn't make it. What did I miss out on? What were you doing?
David: I was part of an international study group with the Cheung Kong Global School of Business. Cheung Kong is the company of Mr. Li Ka-shing, one of the richest men in Hong Kong.
Stephanie: Right.
David: This is a global business school in China. They run MBA programs and a lot of business courses. I was part of an international study group to go and be part of this program run by a chap called Mr. Bo Ji, who gets affectionately known as Mr. Bojangles.
Stephanie: That's a given.
David: He's a terrific guy and really charismatic. Bilingual, great presenter. Great speaker. Looking forward to bringing him to Australia actually.
Stephanie: Is he based at the business school?
David: He is in London but he's their assistant Dean and he ran this international study program.
Stephanie: Right. Right. And so it was for a week was it?
David: It was for a week. We went to four cities. In every city, we met with companies and we listened to professors and we got to network a lot with their alumni and we kind of started the three cups of tea.
Stephanie: We'll talk about that, we'll come back to that. So it was your first cup, I take it?
David: It was our first cup as a stranger.
Stephanie: You first cup of tea. All right, we will get back to that very soon. So today I'm here with a longtime friend of TEC China. Inbound, outbound. What's the difference and why does it matter?
David: It matters a lot, inbound, and I want to talk about that but let's just quickly talk about outbound. Because I've got four or five projects on the go at the moment where we're taking Australian technology, innovation, and ideas into the China market. I think it's really important that we do more of this because... I want to talk a minute about consumption in China, which has reached an all-time high. 10 years ago when I started taking people to China, just around the GFC, everybody said with China being such an important export-led economy and with so much, depending on their manufacturing capability, it would take generations before it could become self-sufficient in terms of domestic consumption. But now 80% of China's GDP is now generated by domestic consumption, meaning that they're getting to a point where they're almost self-sufficient. They have a very strong manufacturing capability.
David: They have a lot of companies domestically like Alibaba, Tencent - companies that I went to visit quite recently who are all now on a very fast growth curve. They're actually only interested in a few things now, which is always around innovation, food, clean agricultural products, AgriTech to help their agricultural environment and other sorts of innovation, which they can bring into China to improve their systems and processes, particularly around healthcare and education. Actually, the window of opportunity for Australia and other foreign countries to get involved in China is starting to close.
Stephanie: So, okay, a really naive question then. What happened in those 10 years then for domestic consumption to grow so significantly?
David: There was a huge stimulus.
David: China has a top down way of doing things, not bottom up like we do. It all starts with the government. The government made a very important decision to stimulate local consumption, to encourage people to spend money, and that's what's happened. If you look at companies like Alibaba, you can track the start of their growth to around 2008.
Stephanie: Isn't that interesting.
David: It all came from the government.
Stephanie: And so you say the window is closing because domestic consumption is 80% of GDP, is that right?
David: Well, I mean, take the iPhone. 10 years ago they were importing all their phones from overseas, particularly from Americas. You can look at Apple going back to 10 years ago and China was earning let's say $100 in a $1000 iPhone. The consumer is being charged a thousand, China's making a hundred from the part of the manufacturing that they're involved in.
Stephanie: Yes.
David: Now Huawei has a phone, a smart phone. It actually costs about half the price of an iPhone and China makes 100% of the margin. That's what's called moving up the value chain, high value manufacturing and innovation being driven from within. Of course, as a result, they don't need too many more iPhones produced overseas or designed overseas because they can now do it all themselves.
Stephanie: It's interesting because when I first met you and heard you start... Well when I first heard you talk about this, that's five years ago now. It was a very different story, wasn't it?
David: Yes it was, because they weren't as far advanced as they are now. They were only at the time probably about 40% driven domestic consumption, so it has changed a lot.
Stephanie: Right. So, before we get to inbound, which is the big opportunity and I know you're so keen on that, I want to know a little bit more about you. How did you become a China expert?
David: Yes. Well, I lived in Hong Kong for eight years, in the eighties and nineties. I was a wealth manager. I used to look after money for high net worth individuals in the region. That was in Hong Kong, my first sort of look at China in 1989. As we all know, there was some events in Tiananmen Square in June 89 which -
Stephanie: 30 years ago now.
David: 30 years to this very week, which sort of woke me up from my slumber in terms of the importance and relevance of China. I literally within three months of that event, got on a plane and went to Beijing. I spent a week, you know, as a tourist just trying to understand what was happening and 30 years later, I go back all the time and I've had this lifelong interest in China and all things Chinese.
Stephanie: You've just been there.
David: I was there two weeks ago. Yes.
Stephanie: So tell us about that.
David: I was part of an international study group, which was looking at China. We listened to lots of professors talking about what was happening. We visited lots of companies. Some of the largest names that we know of: Alibaba, Tencent. We visited four cities in six days and every morning we got up early and did Tai-Chi. We all felt at the end of it that we'd been fully immersed in what was happening.
Stephanie: Well that's good. I think you were saying to me before, David, that it was a really international group. It wasn't just Australians in China.
David: Right.
Stephanie: Where were people from on that tour?
David: Mainly from Europe. We had Brits and Portuguese and Italians. We had people from the Middle East. We had a Brazilian. It was very international, and I was the only person from this part of the world, which was good because it gave me a different perspective. Australia is not top of their list in terms of countries that they're interested in.
Stephanie: That's actually something I wanted to ask. So how have different countries embraced the opportunities in China compared with Australians?
David: Much more quickly.
David: They're further advanced than we are. Like Germany's there all the time. The British government have appointed an individual who was on our group, to be responsible for the whole of the Greater Bay area, which is the Southern part of China. So I feel that we're not fast enough to embrace China. We're also too close to the US which means that politically we're in the deep freeze right now.
Stephanie: Yeah.
David: Which is definitely acting against us because we're seen to be too close to America and at the moment countries like the UK and Germany... Well the UK is a good example because they're trying to exit from Europe at the moment. They need to start new trading relationships and China is very important to them. Probably more important than it is to us, or so it seems.
Stephanie: What's held Australia back, do you think? Or Australian businesses, I guess.
David: We're quite conservative I think.
Stephanie: In what way?
David: I think that Australians are generally quite happy with a lot here in Australia. They quite like to enjoy the way of life here. I spend a lot of my time persuading chief executives of Australian companies to give up their homes in Mosman or Tura and go and live on the 13th floor of an apartment in Shanghai and they're not always that keen to do that. Whereas, you know, I don't need to talk badly of my old home, the UK, but many people in Britain are desperate to get out of the UK because the weather's so awful. I'm not saying that it's all about the weather, but I do think that we have a good life in Australia and therefore we're not as keen to develop overseas markets perhaps as some other countries are.
Stephanie: Do you have some examples of Australian businesses you've worked with who have actually done well in embracing the opportunity?
David: Absolutely. There's one TEC member which I probably shouldn't name, which is in the lighting industry and has a very innovative lighting capability. They've been very successful here in Australia and we're taking them into China starting in the South in Guangzhou. We're already getting some serious traction there. My hope is that in another two years or three I can persuade the CEO to go and live in China. He won't be so pleased about that.
Stephanie: I can't picture it. I know who you're talking about. I can't picture him leaving the beach. Really.
David: No, I can't either. But anyway, someone in his team may have to.
Stephanie: They might have to.
David: We're getting good success actually already. You know, from a standing start we're getting some success because again, here is a capability around innovation and design, which China needs. They're trying to move up the value chain themselves. We can teach them about how to deliver that. I think there's a very good chance of success there.
Stephanie: In that case, it's not necessarily the product, it's the services or the...
David: Implementation.
Stephanie: The implementation that wraps around the product. So innovation in this case.
David: Yes, because of course they have a far lower cost of labor in China, so we can never compete in manufacturing where people are involved. But where we can offer value is around innovation and design and creativity and teaching them how to light a premium space. Because at the moment they're still perhaps at the lower end of a value chain in that area.
Stephanie: In that area, particularly in that industry.
Stephanie: Yes. Okay, so another one, and we will get to inbound, I promise.
David: Yes.
Stephanie: How much impact do you think stories like Australian executives being imprisoned in China affects Australian businesses thinking that they'd like to move into that area as an opportunity.
David: I hope it doesn't.
Stephanie: Right. It shouldn't.
David: Because it's only a very small handful. In the case of Crown, we know what they did, which was illegal in China. They were promoting casinos in China. I'm sure it's all very grey, but I think we know that they were infringing some local rules and the Chinese deal with that sort of thing fairly harshly. But the number of people who've been put in prison from Australia in China is less than the number of people that get killed by sharks on our beaches.
Stephanie: Right. Okay, so there is certainly a cultural awareness and observance that's critical, isn't it?
David: Yes. Well, and it is for any Australian doing business anywhere outside Australia, obviously.
David: Right. There's 20 million of us and there's a billion of them.
Stephanie: So how do you support businesses in that area?
David: Oh, I teach them a lot about cultural differences. A good example is hierarchy. The Chinese are very hierarchical in the way they do business. Decisions are made at the top and they filter all the way down. So in order to get a decision out of an organization, you have to get to the top and whereas in our culture, we run very flat structures. We're very egalitarian in our approach and we find it difficult to operate in a hierarchical system. There are strategies and techniques that we have to go through to overcome that problem, but it requires a change of mindset. That's just one example.
Stephanie: I love the story you tell about the cups of tea.
Stephanie: Tell us that one.
David: Well I tell a story, which is a proverb about a stranger who comes to Asia and is welcomed into somebody's house and goes through a process of taking three cups of tea. The first cup you're a stranger. If you think about that in a business context, the first cup could just be your website or it could be the first time you meet somebody and then you need to earn the right and the respect to be treated to another cup of tea when you become a friend.
David: Now if you can get to that point, you can then broaden and deepen the relationship further. Then if you're very lucky, you get to the third cup of tea where you become a trusted member of the family. At that point, of course, you can then do business and get on with the stuff that you really want to deal with, which is making money.
David: Most people try and get there too quickly. There's a process. It takes time. Also it needs an open heart.
Stephanie: Because the Australia way can be very direct.
David: Not just Australia, the Western way.
Stephanie: The Western way.
David: But yes, we want to get on with it. Let's stop wasting time.
Stephanie: "We're doing this on our time." Yeah.
David: We would often go for a dinner with some Chinese partners or investors and you might never talk business. You're just hoping to be invited back for the second cup of tea.
Stephanie: For the second cup of tea.
David: We find that very difficult. I find it personally very, very difficult because you can sometimes fly all the way to China for a dinner and you want an outcome of course, but it's all part of them trying to size up how genuine you are, how serious you are and whether they can trust you or not.
Stephanie: That would really be the case for having a partner who knows the lay of the land really, and the cultural nuances.
David: Yes, of course. I think in most cases Australian companies will have to have a joint venture of some sort in China with a partner that they trust. But of course to get to that point they've got to go through the three cups process.
Stephanie: The cups of tea. I love three cups of tea. Tell me about inbound. The waiting has shifted from outbound now inbound. Give me a definition of what that means.
David: Well, yes. What I'm saying here is that I think that to take a small business to China is quite hard work and it needs a certain level of commitment, money, resources that aren't always available. But I think every business, every small business including the whole TEC membership should be getting excited about the inbound opportunity. What I mean by that is the addressable market of Chinese individuals, business people, investors, entrepreneurs who are coming to Australia. That represents a group of about 1.2 million locals who already live here, about 28000 migrants a year who come here from China, about 165000 students who are in our universities. The millennials as we call them, who are very rich people because they're products of the one child policy. They have a lot of money and resources at their disposal. Then the tourists, and there's about 1.4 million of those and rising very quickly to 3 million by the end of this decade probably. We're looking at 3 million people who are in Australia now who are either shopping or investing or looking to set up businesses here. I think everybody can get involved in that group.
Stephanie: Where do you start?
David: You start by opening your eyes, your heart, your mind to the Chinese. It might mean you've got to have a website that's in Chinese. It might mean that you need to have some people in your business who speak Chinese. It might mean that you need to convert all your marketing materials into Chinese. I heard an example just this week about a whiskey company who in the whole of last year sold 30 bottles of whiskey in the duty free shop of Sydney airport. 30 bottles in a whole year. I got to them at the end of the last year and persuaded them to put two Chinese people on their stand in the duty free area at Sydney airport. In the month of February, they sold 300 bottles in one month because they put two Chinese people on the stand who could speak Chinese.
Stephanie: Chinese-speaking. That wasn't changing branding or anything.
David: That was all they did. Two Chinese speaking people on their stand. During the course of the month of February, which was when Chinese New Year was, we get an influx of visitors at that time and they sold 300 bottles in a month. It's not rocket science. It just requires a different way of thinking.
Stephanie: That doesn't require changing your whole business strategy or anything really.
David: Not really. It just means that you need to just take a minute to think about the things you could do that would make a difference. One thing you could definitely do is go down to your local university, find two bright young Chinese students who are looking for work experience and bring them into your business and mentor them and teach them and have a Chinese speaking person in your office.
Stephanie: Do you know what's interesting? I've read something in the fin review today about international students coming out of university with the wrong view about what Australian businesses are looking for. I can't remember exact words, but that would be a really smart thing. I mean the universities are obviously going to be very welcoming of that, aren't they?
David: Yes, they're always looking for ways to place their students in businesses to give them work experience. Actually that's part of the university offer in a way, is that we're going to educate your children. We're also going to give them work experience. If they're Chinese kids coming out of China in Australia and Sydney or Melbourne or other cities, then they're all interested in getting local work experience.
Stephanie: Well I guess it just depends whatever faculty you go to. There'd be Chinese marketing students, finance...
David: Yes. Finance law, law, finance, marketing. They're all in that big business school. They're all learning about HR and marketing and finance, accounting and so on. Yeah, they would all be interested in work experience and we could certainly take advantage of that. There's 165000 of them in Australia.
Stephanie: It's a big export for Australia, isn't it?
David: We let them go actually, because they come here, they get their degree, they look for a job, nobody offers them one and they go back to China. We miss that opportunity.
Stephanie: Right. I've heard of a few things. I've heard a website in Chinese.
David: Yep.
Stephanie: Maybe an intern.
Stephanie: You know, a university student or a recent graduate. Chinese speaking staff if you're in retail.
David: Even if you're not in retail.
Stephanie: Right, of course. What else?
David: Well, you could start thinking about the three cups of tea, which is to build relationships, not transactions. In other words, when people walk into your business, whatever business that is, you may not be too quick to pull out your brochure. You might actually ask some open questions. You might look at how can you build that relationship because you can be pretty sure that most people, whether they be tourists, migrant students or whoever in Australia, are generally quite wealthy. They wouldn't be here otherwise. If they're not an interesting prospect for your business individually, they'll know lots of people that are. You need to go through the process of embracing them into your business, spending time with them, taking them out for lunch maybe, talking to them a bit and trying to find out how you can help them. You'll be surprised that the things they'll tell you.
Stephanie: How can Australian business owners, particularly in the SME sector, educate themselves then on not just these tactics that you've suggested, but the cultural areas that they need to be aware of to really embrace this opportunity?
David: Well, there's some great books written on this topic. I've written a book myself.
Stephanie: Which I highly recommend.
David: Thank you. There's also a very good book written by two friends of mine called Think Like Chinese, which is written by a lady called Helen Jung who's a good friend and her husband, Jeff Baker, who's an Australian. Helen and Jeff, Australian and Chinese, were trying to grapple with some of these cross cultural differences in their own relationship. So they wrote a book it and it's a very good book. It's called Think Like Chinese.
David: They've written a sequel called Think Like Chinese Again, I think. I think that's a really, really good book. There's also one written called The Elephant in The Room, which is all about culture, written by my friend Tom in Melbourne. Yes, there are lots of books you can read on culture and we just need to be more curious, I think, about it.
Stephanie: How long do you think this opportunity will go for, for Australia?
David: Oh, the inbound opportunity will go for a long time because we're only going to see the number increase. I often say we're currently at 3 million, it won't be long before we're four and a half million. When we get to four and a half million, that's the whole population of New Zealand. Imagine them all coming to Australia. That would get our attention.
Stephanie: A number have.
David: Right, but imagine the whole country turning up. The Chinese numbers in Australia are significant, and all the Chinese people I know are all asking me, how do we get more involved in Australian business. Australian business people are saying to me; how do we get more involved in the Chinese community? There's a big gap here that we need to try and resolve and it starts with three cups of tea.
Stephanie: It starts with three... I love that. I love tea, anyway. The main takeaways from this, David, someone who's listened to this and they may or may not have heard you say that every Australian SME should have a China strategy.
Stephanie: I've heard you say that. But other than that, so if this is even the first time they've even thought about this, the main takeaways.
David: Well I think there are two key takeaways. So the first one is that if you're in a business that has something innovative and creative, in an industry or sector that Chinese needs, and those are... The key three are healthcare, education and tourism and food.
Stephanie: And food.
David: And food. I was at a conference earlier early this week called the Naturally Good conference, which had 300 exhibitors all exhibiting, you know, wonderful organic food, protein bars, shakes, juices, you know, cereals, the whole range. I thought these 300 companies should all be in China, that China would buy all of this stuff.
Stephanie: Yes. Yes.
David: I suppose if you're in any of those sectors, if you've got some something innovative and interesting, that plays to Australia's advantages, you should be considering a China entry strategy. I could certainly talk to anybody that's interested in that. So that's one area. The second area is how can you tap into these 3 million people who are Chinese coming to Australia looking to do business here, looking to invest here, looking to send their kids here, looking to get involved in our sector or in our business environment. How can you help them in the business you're in knowing what they are going to be struggling with in trying to navigate their way through our Australian system? And I think everybody can get involved in that opportunity.
Stephanie: So what is really interesting about this is the kind of scope, but actually the narrowness of what you're talking about because you're not talking about political at all.
David: No.
Stephanie: Political issues. You're not really even talking about kind of social change. You're talking about business.
David: Yeah, make money. That's all I'm talking about.
Stephanie: It clearly is. But I think that's really relevant just to say, that this is what this conversation's about. It's the business growth, the commercial opportunities for Australian businesses through China, particularly inbound.
David: The reason I say that is because I've been a TEC speaker for 10 years or so, and over that time I've talked about broad economic themes. I've talked about macro business opportunities, but I think I've boiled it all down to how do you make money? Because I think that's what people need to hear. There's a billion people in China, there's 3 million of them in Australia. I think there's plenty of money to be made out of that group.
Stephanie: And some interesting learning and expansion for an individual business leader anyway.
David: Yes. For you and your children who, if you're not impacted by what's happening in China, your children and grandchildren will certainly be impacted. The sooner everybody gets on that journey, the better. By the way, I just got an email this week from Quantas saying that, they're doing special deals, $500 return to all of the major... well, three of the major Chinese cities. If people have never been to China, and I'm still surprised at how many people haven't, I think a $500 return to Beijing is not a bad deal. Maybe everybody should take advantage of that.
Stephanie: Right? So everyone needs a China strategy. It's all about inbound and hop on a plane and go to Beijing.
Stephanie: David Thomas, thank you very much.
David: My pleasure. Thank you.
Stephanie: That's TEC live for today. CEOs are in the business of making decisions and leadership is the art of execution. I'm Stephanie Christopher, and look forward to talking to you next time.

Diendorfer G., A. Pistauer:
Lightning Performance of High Voltage Power Lines
16th International Lightning Detection Conference (ILDC), Tucson, Arizona, 2000
Lightning is one of the major sources for power line outages. We have correlated outages of unknown reason and when lightning was already assumed to be the reason with the archived lightning data from ALDIS for about 25 power lines (400 kV and 220 kV). For about 25% of the outages we found very good correlation with a lightning discharge in a corridor of up to +/- 5000 m. Some of the remaining outages are assumed to be either caused by other events (strong wind, moisture on insulators, etc) or by lightning flashes that have not been detected by the LLS.
In the past there have been claims of increased lightning activity in the vicinity of high voltage power lines. Detailed analysis of the lightning data near power lines does not support this claim. Power lines in flat area exhibit no effect to the local ground flash density near the power line.
We have also determined values for the actual ground flash densities for the individual lines and we used the software IEEE-FLASH to estimate the number of outages per 100 km and year assuming two distinct peak current distributions (CIGRE distribution with 31 kA and LLS based distribution with 12 kA mean). Comparison of the estimated values and the actual observed number of outages are not well correlated. This leaves some open questions, whether the FLASH program is not applicable for the type of power lines used in Austria or the number of reported outages caused by lightning is not well defined.

Diendorfer G., W. Schulz, M. Mair:
Evaluation of a LLS based on lightning strikes to an instrumented tower
In 1998 a radio tower on a mountain near Salzburg was instrumented for direct measurements of lightning currents. When lightning strikes the tower, the entire lighting current pulse is recorded using a shunt and a PC based digitizing system. This experimental setup allows to analyze the performance of the Austrian LLS (ALDIS) in terms of location accuracy, detection efficiency and it's ability to provide an estimate for the stroke peak currents.
Since the beginning of the tower measurements we have recorded about 100 events with a total of about 500 strokes. Almost all of the events are assumed to be upward flashes as typical for elevated objects.
In the paper we will present some initial results for the above mentioned performance parameters of ALDIS. Due to the integration of LPATS sensors in Germany installed close to the experimental site, we have both sensor types available for our analysis.

Schulz W., G. Diendorfer, M. Dorninger, N. Daly:
Comparison of Lightning Data Collected by Location Systems of Different Technology
Different lightning location systems provided lightning data for the MAP database during the MAP SOP. In this paper we compare lightning data sets recorded during the MAP-SOP from two different lightning location systems, the so called SOP-lightning location system (SOP-LLS) and the lightning location system from the British Met. Office called ATD.
The SOP-LLS was designed [Dorninger, 1999] to provide the best detection efficiency (DE) over the entire alpine region that can be achieved with today's available technology for a large region like the Alps. Thus it was assumed that this system detects more flashes than the ATD system which covers a much larger area than the Alps and had, at the time, a low processing ability. We will show that this assumption was correct and we will determine the overall DE of the ATD system relative to the SOP-LLS. Comparison of the lightning peak current distributions of both systems indicates that the ATD system mainly detects flashes of higher peak currents.
Schulz W., G. Diendorfer:
Evaluation of a lightning location algorithm using an elevation model
25th International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), Rhodos, Greece, 2000
Location accuracy is one of the important performance parameters of a lightning location system. With more and more sophisticated applications of lightning data also an increasing demand on improved location accuracy is observed.
Today lightning location systems are mainly using GPS synchronized time information to locate a lightning discharge. The location is calculated based on the time differences between sensor arrival times and estimated impact time. Assuming speed of light (c0) for the field propagation velocity from this time differences the propagation distances to the sensors are calculated assuming the earth as an ideal ellipsoid. Distances calculated this way do not take into account any elongation of the propagation path due to mountains. This is assumed to be one of the reasons for the existence of a systematic location error in mountainous regions [Schulz, 1997].
In this paper we show how calculated lightning locations are affected by taking into account the wave travelling path elongation due to mountains by applying an elevation model for the earth. Any possible improvement of the resulting locations is evaluated by using data from lightning strikes to high towers.
Diendorfer G., M. Mair, W. Schulz, W. Hadrian:
Lightning Current Measurements in Austria - Experimental Setup and First Results
In a recent investigation on ground flash density around elevated objects in Austria it was found, that the telecommunication tower at mount Gaisberg near Salzburg would be one of the most suitable sites for an experiment to measure direct lightning currents. This about 100 m tall telecommunication tower is located 1287 m above sea level and about 5 km east of the city of Salzburg.
Based on the data from the Austrian Lightning Location System (ALDIS), 40 - 50 flashes with about 200 strokes per year were expected.
The installation of an automatic measuring system to record currents of direct lightning strikes to the tower was started in August 1998. In this paper we present a detailed description of the experimental setup and show first results of recorded current waveforms in 1999.

Information regarding the software that is embedded within the H8S/2265 Microprocessor.
H8PortMap - H8 processor ports mapped to Cybiko schematic.pdf functions.
bootloaderv1.1.7-amended.zip - Cybiko Monitor ROM v1.1.7 disassembled with annotations.
The boot file is stored on a flashrom (model 2 classic and xtreme) at address 0x00100000 (classic) or 0x00600000 (xtreme), the model 1 classic loaded it from serial flash into ram.
An uncompressed boot file should start with a 12 34 AB CD signature.
The AVR 2313 chip acts as a co-processor to the main H8 device. It is used to handle the RF comms aspect of the Cybiko.
The UART on the 2313 is connected to a UART on the main H8 processor, this comms link runs at 53.333KBaud and allows the H8 to control the 2313 via SCI Channel 0 (TXD0 and RXD0). The 2313 is clocked at a modest 4MHz.
Three port pins on the 2313 link to the LMX2315 chip and clock data in and out of this chip.
The files below contain an annotated disassembly of the code that resides in the flash space of the 2313 device. Someday merge both into one.
It is possible to program the AVR with new firmware whilst it is insitu inside the Cybiko. This is possbile due to the fact that the MOSI/MISO lines are connected to the H8 on the same lines that the H8 uses to drive the AVR fed RF transmitter.
These three signal pins are internally connected to the programming machine only if you change the RESET (sometimes also called RST or restart) pin to zero. Otherwise, during normal operation of the AVR, these pins are programmable I/O lines like all the others.
The SCK line of the AVR is held high at 3.3v via a 5.1k resistor.

Have you ever ordered the fajita salad in a restaurant only to receive a bowl full of iceburg lettuce, refried beans, and sour cream? YUCK!
Here's a Fajita Salad that's finger-licking good and full of healthy superfoods – with no dairy necessary.
Saute one onion in EVOO or coconut oil.
Add your chopped chicken and perhaps a bit more EVOO (really depends on the size of your pan.) Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
Wash and dry 2 bell peppers and then grill them. (I just grill them a couple minutes on each side – until I get nice char marks. Some like to remove the char marks before serving – unless you like the smokey flavor.) Slice them for the salad.
Chop your avocado and romaine lettuce and top with the chicken, peppers, onion and salsa.
Do you ever get sick of the same boring pasta with shrimp and EVOO?
I like to add different greens to my pasta to give it texture and vibrancy.
Saute brussel sprouts in EVOO. I like to put them in the pan with salt, red pepper flakes, pepper, and the oil and leave for a few minutes without touching them so they are nice and brown on one side. When they're about halfway done, add sliced garlic. I add an entire bulb because I'm a garlic fiend!
Clean and add your shrimp to the saute and cook until they're more or less "closed" in on themselves.
This is so easy and delicious it's almost criminal!

Add Carrots once garlic is soft.

MCCA's Annual List of Rainmakers proves that the profession has talented lawyers who also have valuable business development skills. The list includes attorneys from around the country who practice a wide variety of law. Their success stories offer insight and value to lawyers at every career stage.
Baird earned her BA and JD from the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama Law School, respectively, in her hometown of Tuscaloosa. She grew up just four blocks from the University's stadium and is a passionate Alabama Crimson Tide football fan.
"I focus on becoming a trusted advisor for clients, building relationships, and being able to spot and create opportunities," says Mark W. Brennan, a partner in Hogan Lovells' Washington, D.C. office. His practice involves cutting-edge communications and privacy issues. Some of his clients include leading tech and e-commerce companies, "Internet of Things" pioneers, and global healthcare, financial and transportation clients.
Prior to law school, Fairless worked as a computer programmer in her native Louisiana. "I loved the problem solving but hated the solitude," she recalls. At the same time her brother was applying to law school and suggested she follow his lead. "We didn't have any lawyers in the family and I didn't know any lawyers, but nonetheless I took his advice and earned my JD at the University of Colorado Law School; it changed my life.
He began his career as a general litigator, but over the years his practice became more specialized. Park now focuses almost exclusively on patent cases, and particularly those in which a pharmaceutical company is seeking to design around or invalidate a patent that covers a branded drug so the company can come out with a generic or biosimilar version. Like many patent attorneys, Park has a background in science.
The son of chemists, Park thought he'd follow in his parents' footsteps. He received an undergraduate degree in biological sciences from the University of Chicago and spent a year working at a hospital with children with developmental disorders, but instead opted to enter the legal profession.
As a young associate, Christina Guerola Sarchio developed a relationship with a Fortune® 10 client through her network at the Hispanic National Bar Association. They began referring her small matters. Pleased with her work, they sent increasingly larger matters. Unfortunately, there was a senior partner who'd done some work years before and lost a big case, and the firm hadn't been hired for truly impactful cases since. The senior partner also erected barriers to Sarchio's bridge-building efforts with the client. To Sarchio's surprise, the client intimated that if she were to leave the firm, they would follow.
Today, Upshaw is the partner-in-charge of litigation in McDermott's Miami office. He focuses on defending clients in class action, mass tort, product liability and complex civil litigation. Over the course of his career, he has tried over 30 significant civil jury trials to verdict.


Working in an occupied site is always a challenge, particularly when the project needs to be delivered quickly. InSite not only met this challenge, but delivered Ausdrill's Head Office refurbishment on time, within budget and ensured the client's daily operations were unaffected.
Ausdrill identified several areas of the office which required renovations; each requiring careful design and on-site coordination to ensure the project remained on track and was delivered resourcefully.
Several parts of the open plan were modified to provide a more efficient layout which caters for additional staff. Bench style desks with yellow and grey screens were installed throughout the workspace with several collaborative zones which serve as alternative meeting areas.
In addition to new offices, existing offices have been modified and redesigned using angled walls which in turn provides supplementary storage space. This new format also provides a contemporary aesthetic to the space.
The breakout area was converted to a larger space which caters for an increase in staff and serves as a multipurpose space. Using Australia's outback and Ausdrill's corporate colours, furniture has been selected and finished with the infamous yellow and green colour palette, and finished with feature pendants illuminating a custom bench and vinyl plank floor.
Ausdrill's branding was a driving force behind the final touches applied to the refurbishment. The entire office delivers subtle pops of colour complemented by a darker carpet tile and frosted film across all meeting and boardroom glazed walls.
The refurbished space perfectly captures Ausdrill's rich history and cements their position as a market leader in the Australian resources industry.

I usually print my photos from Photoshop but decided today to print direct from Capture as I am getting more familar with the program for all my editing needs.
Printing in Capture seems to be very similar to Photoshop with the dialoge box giving access to colour management etc, however, I cannot find any way to change the target printer. I have two printers connected to my Win7 system via usb, both are Epson a TX300 and a R2400 but capture only shows the TX300 and there appears to be no option to change the printer. Any ideas??
I just thought the TX300 is my default printer, is cx2 just a slack bit of programming that only gives the default printer???
Here is a screen capture I prepared earlier. Click to see a larger version.
but I checked, and on a Mac, CNX2 uses the only the default printer.
Oddly enough I can format the paper for another printer, but not actually choose it to print with.
And I had to shut down the program and restart it before it would recognise that I had changed the default printer.
I'm afraid this is yet another reason I won't be using this program again.
I you are getting addicted to the control point technology in CNX2, you might give some consideration to the NIK suite of plugins for LR/PS. The only real problem left is the fact that CNX2 modifies the RAW file. Neither PS nor LR recognise those changes.
craig, i have the exact same issue with 2 printers and unfortunately you are right, you can only print to your default printer. PITA. terrible printing interface on cnx2. i use epson photo print for my printing.
Thanks guys. Very slack bit of program design.
That looks odd - on my NX2 Page Setup dialogue, there's three buttons - OK, Cancel and Printer. I can select either of the two printers I have.
What version of NX2 have you got?
digitor wrote: That looks odd - on my NX2 Page Setup dialogue, there's three buttons - OK, Cancel and Printer. I can select either of the two printers I have.
Strange. I have version 2.2.8.
I'm using 2.2.6, but the printing has always worked OK for me, even with the earlier versions. My photo printer is not the default, so every time I do a print (in a new session) I have to select it specifically.
can u do a screen shot of that pls. i have the same interface as craig and i cant recall ever being able to select a printer so maybe we are missing something in the setup options or preferences somewhere.
When you press print, you will get another screen that will allow printer selection.
printing aside, it remains my number 1 processing tool, for more reasons than control points.
I love it, and I would say use it before anything else.
Set up some batch processing functions and you can edit in no time at all.
you are a goddam genius. works perfect !! thank you both very much !
Rooz wrote: you are a goddam genius. works perfect !! thank you both very much !
No. But I have spent more than a few hours with nx2, on mac and PC. I also use PS and Aperture, but always find myself coming back to nx2.
I processed 40 of these in a maybe 5 mins tonight.
Sylvia wrote: But I have spent more than a few hours with nx2, on mac and PC. I also use PS and Aperture, but always find myself coming back to nx2.
out of interest and way off topic (sorry OP), how do you find CNX2 performance and what computer specs you on?
I shoot mainly raw. With some of the batching I do the files get to 80 MB no probs and it will run on a pretty basic laptop.
I just came back from 2 weeks away in WA shooting the Australasian Safari. All my field processing was done on either a Dell laptop or a MBP, neither hi spec machines.
Mind you I came home with 180GB of files still requiring sorting/processing. I might post a few some time.
One of the best features is Nik colour efx runs native. Take PS as an example,NIk runs as another app, slowing things down considerably in the processing dept.
I guarrantee if you spend a few mins to learn what it can do, PS etc are "almost" not required unless to want to watermark etc.
Its a serious piece of software in simple form, you just have to work out how to get the best out of it. If you shoot raw you get full camera control to adjust in camera exposure etc.

No idea why this would be different from yours and Craig's. And as Sylvia says, when you press print you get the normal Windows printer selection dialogue box as well.
How embarrasment, as Effy would say.
I was trying to set the printer before I hit the print button, because I could only see the default printer in the main print dialogue I though that was where my print would go. I know better now.
Sylvia wrote: When you press print, you will get another screen that will allow printer selection.
I am getting more familar with the program the more I use it and I find I can do all my pp with it. I will now be able to print as well. I have used the batch adjustments a few times and think they are great.
ps I upgraded to 2.2.8 last week as it has only recently become available.

We have had a busy year with some major changes and the results are beginning to show. Our turnaround has not yet been completed, but in 2014 we have shown that Norisol has a sound future, based on profitability.
A turnaround with visible results in 2014 confirmed that our improvements are leading to a brighter future. We believe that the results for 2014 can be qualified as satisfactory.
In 2014 the revenue was DKK 1,2 billion. The Company's EBIT was DKK 14 million which was as expected. EBITDA was 37 million in 2014, which was a margin of 3%.
The expected development in 2015 and the many initiatives put in place will have an increasingly positive effect on our operations and the profitability of our projects.
We aim to meet our target of an EBITDA margin of 5% by the end of 2015.
