Companies often start to acknowledge the power of innovation once they feel the hot breath of the market or competitors in their necks. Only when they notice they are almost being outperformed, they start moving. But for innovation to work, the existence of an innovative culture is key. Getting there, however, requires time. Yet it's the only sustainable way to achieve a growth focus and to stay ahead of your game.
In an ideal situation, companies demonstrate a proactive attitude, meaning they have already completed innovation exercises and have their blueprints ready for roll-out. Such businesses think like chess players: always two steps ahead. Based on the status of the game, they create both 'attack' and 'survive' strategies. They know how to act immediately, rather than having to start reflecting once they're confronted with a specific market situation.
When would be a good time to start with innovation, you ask? Yesterday.
At The House of Marketing, we distinguish 2 types of innovation: incremental and disruptive innovation. We gathered some examples to make the difference more tangible.
Incremental innovation refers to the introduction of small-scale improvements to your existing products or services to maintain or improve their value. Think of the addition of a new feature or the development of a line extension. They don't require radical breakthroughs, but rather stretch the use and capabilities of existing technologies and business models. Incremental changes usually involve a low level of uncertainty and risk, which is why they're by far the most popular innovations out there.
Coca Cola is a powerful example of incremental innovation. The company originally came to life two centuries ago, but has remained relevant by surfing along on emerging trends and frequently offering something new to its customers. A twisted mango diet coke or a vanilla Coca-Cola, anyone?
Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws recently launched a payment chatbot on their company website and Facebook Messenger. Customers can rely on the bot to complete their subscriptions, including payment. Results show that the replacement of traditional redirects with a conversational interface has boosted mobile conversion rates significantly.
Disruptive innovations move beyond incremental changes. For the sake of clarity, we distinguish 3 types: business model innovations, radical product innovations and technological innovations.
The former refers to the implementation of a new business model in an existing company. Such model aims to increase the actual economic pie, either by attracting new customers or by encouraging existing customers to consume more. While business model innovators redefine current products or services and the way they're offered to customers, radical innovations deal with the creation of new-to-the-world products that disrupt common consumer habits and behaviors. Disruptive technologies, in turn, are unexpected technological breakthroughs that overturn existing products and markets. They rarely emerge from large established organizations and usually appear prematurely, meaning early adopters notice a decrease in their performance at the very start.
Zozo, a Japanese retailer realized a disruptive innovation – a radical innovation to be precise. Billionaire and future lunar passenger Yusaku Maezawa investigated the actual problems clients were facing when buying online, one of them being sizing. Raise your hand if you've ever been doubting about sizes and size charts or if you've been annoyed by the hassle of having to return your parcel. His solution for your suffering: a free of charge Zozo bodysuit with stretchable markers, which are read in the Zozo app to deliver detailed measurements of your body. The results allow you to order custom-fit clothing, right from your couch.
Another example in the disruptive category: Did you know YouTube started off as a video-based dating service? Users could share brief videos describing their ideal partner while browsing for matches. Yet 5 days after its launch, no one had uploaded a single one. The co-founders changed their business model, capitalized on their technology and transformed their platform into a powerful host of all types of online videos. More than a decade later, generation Z can't imagine life without YouTube.
A concept that helps you to determine the need for an innovation strategy focusing on incremental or disruptive changes, is the innovation S-curve. It's a technology life cycle, applied to determine the performance of your company, product and efficiency.
At the very start of the lifecycle of your products and applied technologies, you notice an adoption phase, followed by a steep growth phase once your technology and performance are on point. Later on, your product or service enters a stagnation phase. In the latter stage, you're squeezing the last drops of innovation out of your existing products, tools and technologies, although the business impact uplift remains limited compared to the resources you invested.
Therefore, it is recommended to have a look at where you are on the S-curve. Is there significant room for growth? If yes, take this into consideration when determining your strategy, so you can scale and grow fast, reaping the benefits of your growth. In case you're close to reaching the maturity point of your product, tool or service, then introduce a strategy that focuses on the creation of more radical changes. If you don't, your bottom-line profit will experience pressure, leaving an open goal for competitors to set the new standard in the market and for them to run away with the pie.
Jumping to another S-curve altogether allows you to keep growing, be more disruptive and maintain your competitive advantage. When you adapt your business model or launch a new product or service, a new steep learning curve emerges.
When considering the most used innovation approach, it turns out many companies apply an inside-out mentality rather than an outside-in focus.
Companies with an inside-out look concentrate on what exists within their business on a local or global scale. They believe the answer to sustainable growth lies right there; for example, their machine could work faster or a new packaging technology could reduce operational costs. As a result, prototypes are produced and improved, which eventually drive growth.
Yet there's a secret to larger growth: start from new, unmet needs of the market and investigate how to address them in an efficient manner. That's what we call an outside-in mentality, which is key for customer centric thinking. Only when you capture and truly understand the market needs, you meet the requirements to create an impactful and sustainable innovation focus.
The market need for businesses to transform themselves into innovative companies has increased. Yet many struggle with the starting point or they're lacking a so-called 'burning platform', an issue that encourages immediate and radical change because of critical circumstances. Being aware proactivity is key to create an innovative culture is one thing, but what should your first steps look like?
We developed a process of 4 templates to kick off your innovation journey with low-barrier activities. No need to hold off any longer, you can start using them today.
The templates guide you through a step-by-step flow that will help to transform your company into an innovative business. By using the templates or tools, you impact internal processes. The more you apply them and communicate your findings to colleagues, the more your company will start to embed them into the day-to-day business (structure). Innovation then inevitably becomes part of your company culture.
Which resources do you need?
At The House of Marketing, we gathered the above-mentioned templates and implemented them in a flow we created ourselves. The Vision Canvas has an inside-out focus, while the Environment Map and Observation Canvases concentrate on an outside-in view. In the end, the Value Proposition Canvas combines those inside and outside looks. The first one helps you to identify who you are and what the strategic essence of innovation within your organization will be. The second and third guide you to become more market- and customer-centric, while the final one encourages you to reflect upon the way you will create customer value.
Want to innovate like Apple, Coolblue or Zozo? They've made use of innovation templates - now it's your turn!
The first template, our Vision Canvas, is based on Simon Sinek's famous Golden Circle entailing the concepts of why, how and what. The canvas encourages you to define not only your company's vision and mission, but also a vision and mission regarding the innovation strategy. If you skip this stage, you'll most probably come across a bottleneck when you try to prioritize the ideas to move forward with.
Creates a point of reference to check whether your ideas are aligned with your company's DNA.
Encourages consent about the overall objective to which innovation should contribute.
Golden tip: Don't rush through this phase. Only decide to close this canvas once everyone, or at least the majority, is satisfied with the outcome.
Once you finish the first template, you should have an aligned team, a clear direction and a point of reference to guide you through the next steps of your innovation journey.
Once your vision and mission are clear and you're ready to start your innovation process, the Environment Map Canvas forces you to have an outside-in look. The template broadens your scope by drawing attention to the market, your competitors and emerging technologies. The Gartner Hype cycle is an interesting external source to check, since it shares an overview of technologies that are expected to impact or disrupt the market in the future.
Golden tip: Force yourself to be a trend watcher, a sociologist or a generation Z-expert – you name it. Try to break down your own boundaries and help others to see the bigger pictures, while encouraging them to be open to change.
By the time you complete this template, you should have an overview of micro and macro trends that will likely impact your business in the short, mid and long term. Such an overview helps you to predict the future and tackle its challenges.
The Observation Canvas consists of 2 templates: the Preparation and Consolidation Canvas. While the Environment Map Canvas helps you to have an outside understanding on a macro level, the Observation Canvas does the same on a micro level. Rather than the market and competitors, you zoom in on your customers and buyers.
The Preparation Canvas assists you in creating and conducting an observation research. There are multiple ways to gain insights, from non-intrusive (observation) to intrusive (one-on-one interviews) methods, yet the template is applicable regardless of the technique you adopt. Based on your findings, you then note down the pain points and needs regarded as "opportunities to address" on the Consolidation Canvas. The latter serves as an actionable template for further discussion within the organization.
Golden tip: Try to let the observed person tell you out loud what (s)he's thinking when for example consuming your product. It helps you to capture unmet needs and spot new opportunities.
You should aim for 10 completed Observation Canvases. Check if there are similarities amongst the results. If that's the case, you can move onto the next phase. If not, you should continue your research until you've captured the most important insights.
The Value Proposition Canvas is the template you use once you have a clear understanding of the needs of your target market. At the intersection of all of your findings, you should respond with your innovation, being a product or service offering that's aligned with what the market and customers are asking for. That's what we refer to as a product market fit: you're certain you're creating a kind of value the market is in need of.
One of the most famous examples of a product market fit is the Heinz ketchup bottle. Once its makers understood the difficulty of using it a second time, they realized their product design could have been better. Nowadays, we're all familiar with a bottle that's been created upside down. The case clarifies the difference between "designing the right thing" and "designing the thing right".
Both the value and the difficulty of the canvas lies in the switch of outlook. When you note down the needs and pain points of your customers, make sure you wear your customer-centric glasses. Yet with the understanding of your current offering and technologies uncovered in the Environment Map Canvas, you should then change to business-centric glasses. Those allow you to come up with a solution, either an incremental or disruptive one, to meet the needs of your customer.
Golden tip: Put yourself in the shoes of your customers or consumers. Walk their customer journey and gain an understanding of their needs. What would make their life easier?
On one side of the template you should have an overview of customer needs to address, on the other product or service definitions that create a market fit and value.
Small steps are instrumental to start transforming your business into an innovation machine. Yet we encourage you to follow a proven 4-step process, to maintain a clear direction and to align your entire team around your objective. After all, it's better to lead the market than to have to catch up!
If you could use help or guidance throughout your innovation process, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Green beans are young, unripe fruits of various cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), although immature or young pods of the runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus), yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis), and hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus) are used in a similar way. Green beans are known by many common names, including French beans (), string beans (although most modern varieties are "stringless"), and snap beans or simply "snaps." In the Philippines, they are also known as "Baguio beans" or "" to distinguish them from yardlong beans.

They are distinguished from the many other varieties of beans in that green beans are harvested and consumed with their enclosing pods before the bean seeds inside have fully matured. An analogous practice is the harvest and consumption of unripened pea pods, as is done with snow peas or sugar snap peas.

Culinary use

As common food in many countries, green beans are sold fresh, canned, and frozen. They can be eaten raw or steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or baked. They are commonly cooked in other dishes, such as soups, stews, and casseroles. Green beans can be pickled, similarly to cucumbers.

A dish with green beans common throughout the northern US, particularly at Thanksgiving, is green bean casserole, a dish of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and French-fried onions.

Nutrition

Raw green beans are 90% water, 7% carbohydrates, 2% protein, and contain negligible fat. In a 100-gram (3.5 oz) reference amount, raw green beans supply 31 calories and are a moderate source (range 10–19% of the Daily Value) of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, and manganese. Other micronutrients are in low supply.

Domestication
The green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) originated in Central and South America, where there is evidence that it has been cultivated in Mexico and Peru for thousands of years.

Characteristics
The first "stringless" bean was bred in 1894 by Calvin Keeney, called the "father of the stringless bean," while working in Le Roy, New York. Most modern green bean varieties do not have strings.

Plant
Green beans are classified by growth habit into two major groups, "bush" (or "dwarf") beans and "pole" (or "climbing") beans.

Bush beans are short plants, growing to not more than  in height, often without requiring supports. They generally reach maturity and produce all of their fruit in a relatively short period, then cease to produce. Owing to this concentrated production and ease of mechanized harvesting, bush-type beans are those most often grown on commercial farms. Bush green beans are usually cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Pole beans have a climbing habit and produce a twisting vine, which must be supported by "poles," trellises, or other means. Pole beans may be common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) or yardlong beans (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis).

Half-runner beans  have both bush and pole characteristics, and are sometimes classified separately from bush and pole varieties. Their runners can be about 3–10 feet long.

Varieties

Over 130 varieties (cultivars) of edible pod beans are known. Varieties specialized for use as green beans, selected for the succulence and flavor of their green pods, are the ones usually grown in the home vegetable garden, and many varieties exist. Beans with various pod colors (green, purple, red, or streaked.) are collectively known as snap beans, while green beans are exclusively green. Shapes range from thin "fillet" types to wide "romano" types and more common types in between.

The three most commonly known types of green beans belonging to the species Phaseolus vulgaris are string or snap beans, which may be round or have a flat pod; stringless or French beans, which lack a tough, fibrous string running along the length of the pod; and runner beans, which belong to a separate species, Phaseolus coccineus. Green beans may have a purple rather than green pod, which changes to green when cooked.
Yellow-podded green beans are also known as wax beans.
Wax bean cultivars are commonly of the bush or dwarf form.

All of the following varieties have green pods and are Phaseolus vulgaris unless otherwise specified:

Bush (dwarf) types

Pole (climbing) types

Production
In 2020, world production of green beans was 23 million tonnes, with China accounting for 77% of the total (table).

Guardiola expects Foden will play a lot
@ManCity
Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden will feature regularly for City over the coming seasons.
The boss, who has expressed sympathy for the youngster's limited game time in recent weeks, reiterated his belief that the Academy graduate is ready to play week in week out for the first team.
READ | Foden leads City's Young Lions call ups
READ | Two City players nominated for Premier League Player of the Month
"Everybody knows what I think of Phil Foden," said Guardiola ahead of City's game against Wolves.
"He is 19-years-old. He has played quite enough minutes in this period and he will play a lot in this season and the next seasons.
"Phil is in the first team for City because he is ready to play every single game.
"He has everything to play. Of course, he has many things to learn, but so do guys who are 30-years-old.
"He's young. The skills are there but he can improve and that's why I want to help him."
WATCH: 'Title won in May, not October' says Pep
The Stockport-born midfielder has turned out 40 times for City and has been followed into the first-team by fellow teenagers, Adrian Bernabe, Eric Garcia, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Ian Poveda.
All four have made their debuts under Guardiola, while Garcia and Harwood-Bellis, with a combined age of 35, were deployed at the heart of City's defence against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup.
They made a promising start, but the Catalan acknowledges the challenge of blooding youngsters in a team fighting for silverware on four fronts.
"This team needs to win titles," he added.
"The process for young players needs time and the best way is step by step, but the demand of this Club is to be there all the time in all competitions.
"For that, we need the players that we have.
"If the talent is there, they will play but at the same time we have to compete with the best teams in Europe. For that, we need David Silvas, Kevin De Bruynes, Sergio Agueros and Fernandinhos.
"The young players can help the other ones, but if the basis [of the team] is the young players, it's not possible."

Well, here's the perfect recipe to the fav drink of all times. I have adopted it from here.
Quick summary of the process (for quick readers): To sum up, it's really boiling sugar and water together and mixing it with the lemon juice and water. Serve chilled over ice and that's it to the lemonade.
Quick Tip - you can also microwave the mixture too till the sugar dissolves in the water.
2. I added 4-5 saffron strands just after I turned off the gas and when the syrup was still warm. Saffron gives a nice hint of orange-yellow to the lemonade and a sweet aroma.
Quick Tip - I have also tried switching saffron to ginger sometimes. Take 1-inch cube of ginger and grate it or pinch between a pair of tongs to bring out the juice and flavor the syurp. Lemon-ginger combo has a unique taste.
3. I squeezed out juice from 3 lemons.
Quick Tip - Sometimes I just preferred limes over lemons 'cause of the supremely tangy taste of limes, but then be mindful of the sugar qty if you are not going for the tangy taste.
4. In a pitcher, stir together the saffron syrup, lemon juice, 4 cups water. I skipped on the cardamom powder.
5. Serving Tip- I served the lemonade in tall glasses; it just brings a zing to the presentation. I dipped a rim of glass in water and coated it with salt (regular salt is fine if don't have a margarita salt).
6. Serve the lemonade chilled over ice. Add one or two lemon slices to the drink.
I have another quick-fix recipe for lemonade – but I will keep it for another post.
Paav-bhaji, a street side food served in Mumbai, is a spicy-n-buttery mixture of mashed veggies served with toasty bread. For Paav-bhaji, I usually trust this recipe.
Yes, it's as it simple as it sounds, of course when you have left over paav-bhaji sitting in your fridge. Instead of just having it regular style, why not jazz it up Italian style, eh?
1. Take a paav/bread ( or a regular sandwich bread is fine) and cut small circles out of it using a cookie cutter (or a small sharp edged bowl).
2. Apply butter on one side and toast it on a hot sizzling pan.
3. Spread one table spoon of paav bhaji on it, sprinkle it will with some finely diced onions, tomato, coriander and some red chilli pwder for added kick.
Tats it, my friends, your quick party favor is ready.
So that was desi food served with an Italian twist, do you try such quirky twists in kitchen?

Q: Import headshots via CSV I have a sequence set up in my premiere project. It's a simple slide in from right (whilst fading in) of a headshot. Under the headshot is the name of the person (that follows the slide and fade in animation of the headshot) and I have to create a main sequence of 40 of these (each headshot sequence lasts around 3 seconds). That means manually placing the headshots (that are all the same size) and typing in the persons name for each one.
I am wondering if there is a way to automate this via a script in premiere pro that will read from a csv file the location of the headshot image and the name of the person and create it automatically for me?
I have tried looking around for such information but haven't had much success.

A: You can easily acheive this using Dataclay's Templater for Adobe After Effects.  Even better than a CSV, you can use a cloud based Google Sheet and connect directly to that asset so you never have to deal with a file again.

Bell Arts Factory Reading in Ojai Valley News
'Factory' Floored
Ojai poet Peake discovers monthly readings at Bell Arts Factory in Ventura
Click here for clipping
When Robert Peake moved to Ojai from Los Angeles nearly two years ago, he thought he was leaving behind a thriving community of poetry readings. Then he discovered a monthly reading series at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura. "Apparently the series started in June. I went to the July reading and was blown away," Peake says, "The commitment to poetry in that room was easily on par with other series where I have been featured, such as the World Stage in Los Angeles and Beyond Baroque in Venice."
Peake studied poetry at U.C. Berkeley before moving to Los Angeles. There, he won an award for poetry sponsored in part by the NEA and was published in several journals and anthologies. He is also a former student of LA-based poet Suzanne Lummis, who was one of four poets featured at the Ojai Poetry Festival last year.
Peake will be the featured reader at the Bell Arts Factory series on November 25th at 7:30 PM. "I'm thrilled and delighted," he says, "there is definitely something special going on here."
Friday Lubina, who hosts the reading series, agrees. "I'm most pleased with the incredibly welcoming atmosphere generated by the attendees at the Bell Arts Series. These people are here to support one another and it just plain feels good." Lubina was approached to host the new reading series by Phil Taggart, co-editor of the poetry magazine Askew, who promised to help her get it off the ground.
Formerly the Bell Mattress Factory, the Bell Arts Factory is a multipurpose community arts center in what used to be the factory showroom. The nonprofit organization behind the venue seeks to enhance young lives through the arts, and to help lead greater cultural revitalization of Ventura County.
The Bell Arts Factory is located at 432 N. Ventura Ave. in Ventura. The poetry reading series happens on the last Saturday of every month at 7:30 PM. Bring one poem to read during the open mic portion of the evening.

Q: CSS Modules & ReactJS: Parent and child CSS classes in different components So I am building a react application and have a quick question. If I have two separate components:
     and
     with CSS classes navigation.css and navigationLogo.css respectively. In navigation.css I have a class named .main and in navigationLogo.css I want to have a class like so:
.main .main_in_logo {
 color: red;
}

But with CSS Modules I am unable to do this, any ideas on a work around?

A: I was looking for the same problem and didn't find the solution here, maybe because the post is 3 years old. The accepted answer is, in my opinion but not mine only, not scalable.
I don't really know if this is something new, but I found out what I would do in vanilla CSS adapted to CSS modules.
Here is what I did and fully suits my needs:

/* parent.css */
.main {
   ...some CSS...
}

/* logo.css */
@value main from "./parent.css";

.logo {
   ...some CSS...
}

.main .logo {
   color: red
}

Here, we are using @value, which is a CSS modules variable and allows us to bind with another file to build a selector including the final name of the parent "main".
As strange as it looks to me, it took some time to find out about this solution, I hope this will save some time and help other people!

A: I just feel that the explanations here are not complete enough. In css you do .parentSelector .childSelector in order to select the child. The same rule is for css modules, but in your html/jsx you should add to the parent and the child the relevant className -> styles.parentSelector , styles.childSelector.

text

This way you can have in your css something like:
.banner .container{
background-color:reb;
}
.banner .container{
background-color:blue;
}

Sometimes you use libraries and you want to change something somewhere down the DOM inside the library and you can't change its source code. In this case you can use the :global like this:
.parentElement :global(div)
.parentElement :global(#some-lib-element-selector)

A: Why you need to create .main .main_in_logo - the main idea of styles with parent elements its not to broke your css with other styles in the future. But its impossible with css modules, because your styles will be unique forever.
But even you really need it you can use global css for these 2 components - documentation about global css for react-css-modules.

A: The child component should not have a css rule that is dependent upon the parent css classname.
the child should just be:
.main_in_logo { color: red; }

If you need to define styles that involve both parent and child, then the easiest way is to define the styles completely in the parent:
/* navigation.css */
.main .main_in_logo {
   color: red;
}

Then have the parent pass the css class to the child and tell the child to use it:
// Navigation.js
<NavigationLogo className={navigationCss.main_in_logo} />

// NavigationLogo.js

stuff

A: You don't need to be specify which child class you are referring to when using CSS modules in ReactjS.
so doing:
.main_in_logo {
     color: red;
}

will be enough in the stylesheet.

A: I ended up using CSS the normal way but with BEM convention.
I mean after all, what the CSS modules do is adding the [this_name].module.css to your css classes anyway. If you typed it correctly in the first place, there's no need of using this. It's just a new abstract that allow newbies so they can just do stuff without having to worry about class names clashing.
// Main.jsx
import './Main.css'
import Logo from './Logo.jsx'

const Main = () => {
  return (

      <Logo className="main__logo" />

  )
}

/* Main.css */
.main {/* do magic */}
.main__logo {/* do magic but for Logo component */}

So maybe you had Logo component like this..

Billy Kay is am American Country singer, songwriter and musician. Billy is a homeless Veteran, currently living in a shelter in Lexington, South Carolina. He travels America writing, recording and performing on his now-famous "Abject Poverty Tour".He donates a share of all royalties and merchandise sales to various charities. He gets to work with top-tier musicians who often donate their skills to the cause - or work for the price of a cheeseburger! For example, his breakout hit "Ready... Set... Gone!"... 100% of the proceeds go to The Shade Tree (a battered womens shelter) for posterity.Billy also organized 2011s "Country for a Cause" CD, which featured some of the most talented - and award winning - indie musicians on the indie country music scene.Billy started playing the accordion at age 5. Knowing it would be impossible to "pick up women" with an accordion, he convinced his mom to let him switch to guitar at 7. And his guitar has been his constant companion for 4 decades.He went public with his songs three years ago, and hes since been played all over the world. He was the most downloaded person in Las Vegas. People make videos of themselves dancing to his songs from Asia to Denmark!Billy writes from the heart. "I write what I see" says Billy. "I lack the ability to make stuff up. So if I see hurt or joy in someone, I extrapolate how they got to that point."His latest release, "When You Hold Me Tight", was recorded in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Florida. "All my favorite performers" play on it" states Billy. It was a labor of love - and a blast to record!Next up is "Southern Girl" being finished in Columbia.As long as people keep listening, Ill keep writing. And I get to tell people about those less fortunate then themselves in the process. Of all the directions my life could have taken, I consider myself blessed to be where I am.All My Best,Billy Kay

Prague is one of the oldest cities in Central Europe. It has a rich history, unique architecture, and pleasant atmosphere. A typical weather at the end of June is warm, with afternoon temperatures about 27 degrees and occasional rains. The conference will be held at Faculty of Nuclear Science of the Czech Technical University, the second oldest university in Prague, founded at 1707. The building is situated at the bank of Vltava river in the Jewish quarter of the Old Town.
The registration will open on Sunday, June 21. The program will consist of main one-hour lectures and original contributions presented either as shorter talks or in a poster form. The decision about the presentation will be made by May 15. The deadline for abstracts was March 31, 1998. The conference proceedings will be published by Birkhauser in the series "Operator Theory: Advances and Applications." The volume will contain plenary talks together with a part of the other contributions; the selection will be made by the committee at the end of the conference.
The e-mail address of the organizing commitee is qmath7@ujf.cas.cz. The participants are encouraged to supply their electronic coordinates, since the information will be disseminated preferably in this way. To download the application form, click here.
The registration fee is USD 180 (USD 220 after March 31). This includes costs of the auditories, stationery, a copy of conference proceedings, and social events. The latter also concerns accompanying persons who are supposed to pay USD 30. For more information about these matters click here.
The organizers offer a packet containing a six-night accommodation in a university pension or a tourist hotel about 25-30 minutes by tram and/or subway from the conference site, together with five days of lunch and dinner tickets for the university cafeteria - for a more detailed information click here. We are also able to assist you with finding a hotel of a higher class and/or in the city center. The prices depend on the request, in general they correspond to a popular tourist location at the peak of the season.
participants from the former East-block countries, taking into account the present state of a particular place.
With the help of our sponsors which we deeply appreciate we have been able to assist in this way about fifty colleagues. The decision was communicated to them on April 8.
Prague has a good connection with most of major world airports. Within Europe, there are convenient ways how to reach the place by train or car. No visa are needed for participants from almost all European countries, U.S.A. and Canada. Applicants from other parts of the world should consult the nearest embassy of the Czech Republic; a letter of invitation will be provided at request. The public transport in the city is reasonably functioning; a week ticket is available at present for CZK 250 (about USD 8). A car rental can be arranged for a tourism before and after; during the conference it would not help much because the parking fees around the conference site range within USD 0.50-1.50 per hour.
A workshop on Schroedinger operators with magnetic fields in the Erwin Schroedinger Institute in Vienna is organized by I. Herbst, T. Hoffmann-Ostenhoff, and J. Yngvason in May and the first half of June. On June 18-20, the colloquium "Quantum Groups" will be held in the Doppler Institute - contact C. Burdik.

# What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to
anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin Cash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried
out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Unlimited is the name of open source
software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of
the Bitcoin Unlimited software, see https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/download, or read the
[original whitepaper](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/resources/bitcoin.pdf).

# What is Bitcoin Unlimited?

Bitcoin Unlimited is an implementation of the Bitcoin client software that is based on Bitcoin Core.
However, Bitcoin Unlimited has a very different philosophy than Core.

It follows a philosophy and is administered by a formal process described in the [Articles of Federation](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/resources/BUarticles.pdf).
In short, we believe in market-driven decision making, emergent consensus, and giving our users choices.

Daunte Wright Shooting a Reminder That It's Not Cops Who Should Fear for Their Lives During Traffic Stops
| Reason
The truth about traffic stops and violence. The fatal shooting of Daunte Wright during a traffic stop by a police officer and union boss who supposedly can't tell her taser from her gun spawned a rash of demonstrations against police brutality in which protesters were met with more police brutality. It's also opened yet another discussion about U.S. policing—why do we need armed authorities to enforce traffic violations anyway?—and how overcriminalization leads to tragedy. Stupid laws spawn enforcement of stupid laws by trigger-happy cops who have been primed to see much of the American populace as threats to control, rather than people they're supposed to "serve and protect."
One commonly-offered defense in cases of cops murdering people during routine traffic stops is that such stops can be incredibly dangerous for police officers. State authorities and their bootlickers try hard to convince us that police fear and subsequent overreaction during traffic stops is only rational in the face of the extreme danger such stops place them in. Traffic stops very frequently end badly for police, they say.
But it's actually not true that traffic stops are a major source of serious violence against police officers. A paper published in the Michigan Law Review in 2019 ("Policing, Danger Narratives, and Routine Traffic Stops") found the likelihood of an officer being killed during a routine traffic stop was one in 6.5 million.
"It's drilled into police that traffic stop ambushes are routine. They aren't," points out Radley Balko of The Washington Post on Twitter. "They happen, but they're vanishingly rare. And the federal courts' view that stops are inherently dangerous is based on an unscientific survey from 1964."
Those cases are of course tragic and awful. But drumming it into cops to see every stop as his or her potential last has real world consequences. As we've seen.
An officer is orders of magnitude more likely to die of a lightning strike or insect sting. https://t.co/5ozoW2vztT
— Radley Balko (@radleybalko) April 12, 2021
Serious injury to a police officer is estimated to happen in one out of every 361,111 stops, and the estimate for "the rate for an assault against officers (whether it results in injury or not) was only 1 in every 6,959 stops," writes University of Arkansas Professor Jordan Blair Woods, the author of the Michigan Law Review paper.
For the study, Woods reviewed data of "thousands of traffic stops that resulted in violence against officers across more than 200 law enforcement agencies in Florida over a 10-year period." He also developed a typology of violence warning signs:
The typology indicates that a narrow set of observable contextual factors precedes most of this violence—most commonly, signs of flight or intoxication. The typology further reveals important qualitative differences regarding violence during traffic stops initiated for only traffic enforcement versus criminal enforcement.
The study has significant implications for law enforcement agencies and courts. The findings and typology have the potential to inform police training and prompt questions about whether greater invocation of police authority during routine stops for traffic violations undermines, rather than advances, both officer and civilian safety. The findings also lay an early empirical foundation for rethinking fundamental assumptions about officer safety and routine traffic stops in Fourth Amendment doctrine.
In any event, the fact that stops over minor motor vehicle infractions do sometimes lead to violence—against police officers and the people they pull over—presents yet another reason to resist putting police and drivers in direct contact over non-risky matters like expired licenses, a broken taillight, or an illegally hung air freshener.
Everytime you say, "There oughta be a law", you're actually saying, "I wish armed thugs were roaming around using this as an excuse to murder people." Because ALL laws are "enforced" via the implied threat of death: https://t.co/G6L1MRoGgQ https://t.co/HfYsTpkPzg
— Maggie McNeill (@Maggie_McNeill) April 13, 2021
If folks insist on criminalizing or fining drivers for some such infractions still, that could be taken care of with photographs and paper notices, as many speeding tickets are. This would put both cops and drivers in less danger. That we don't operate this way shows how much authorities rely on routine—and often pretextual—traffic stops as a way to search for drugs or find other reasons to harass and arrest people they don't like the looks of.

Why do federal health officials show such disdain for lifesaving drugs? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) want the U.S. to stop giving out the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because out of the 7 million doses given so far, six people developed a blood clotting disorder.
6 cases out of 7 million people. What a disaster. This is going to get people killed. And it's going to create more vaccine hesitancy. These people don't understand cost-benefit analysis. They keep making mistakes by orders of magnitude. https://t.co/DQdvqoujHR

"While the move was framed as a recommendation to health practitioners in the states, the federal government is expected to pause administration of the vaccine at all federally run vaccination sites," reports The New York Times.

Meet Jane Coaston. The Washington Post profiles podcast host and always-interesting libertarian thinker and writer Jane Coaston:
Jane Coaston hates the phrase "the Black community." The 33-year-old journalist always jokes about her next "Black community meeting," mocking the idea that she and millions of other Americans are a monolithic group that might convene regularly on Zoom. Coaston's point is that Black people are individuals, even if they're often not seen that way. "We expect a level of heterogeneity among White people that communities of color aren't granted," she says.
Coaston's own individuality should be unmistakable, particularly among her left-leaning media peers in heavily Democratic D.C. The former political reporter for Vox and MTV is a registered Libertarian who got her start in right-leaning college media and professes "a healthy skepticism of state power." She also happens to be a happily married queer person, a former speechwriter for the Human Rights Campaign, a churchgoing Christian and a fitness buff who works out roughly twice a day. In November, she joined the New York Times, where she hosts the paper's relaunched opinion podcast "The Argument."

What is San Simón Cheese?
San Simón cheese is a cow's milk cheese from the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain which has received a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status from the European Union, recognizing it as a unique agricultural product. Like other products with a PDO, San Simón cheese comes with strict production and labeling requirements which are designed to ensure the integrity of the cheese so that future generations can enjoy traditionally-produced San Simón cheese. Consumers also benefit from a PDO status, as it gives them greater confidence when purchasing.
There are several stages to the production of this cheese. It starts with pasteurized cow's milk which is turned into curd with the addition of rennet. The curds are cut and allowed to drain before being packed into pear-shaped molds and allowed to rest for a day. After the resting period, the cheese is scalded in hot whey, allowed to age for two weeks, and then lightly smoked. The cheese ages for an additional period after the smoking, at which point it is ready for sale.
A whole round of San Simón cheese isn't really round at all: it looks like a giant pear. The cheese has a golden to orange rind which is typically very thin, with a creamy soft center. The flavor of San Simón cheese is very mild, with a hint of smoke and a very buttery mouthfeel, and the cheese melts extremely well. You may also hear San Simón cheese referred to as bufone or "dunce cap," in a reference to the shape.
This cheese can be used in a variety of ways. Slices of the cheese paired with fresh fruit and crackers can make a refreshing dessert course, and San Simón cheese can also be used in dishes where melted cheese is desirable, ranging from grilled cheese sandwiches to quiches. The cheese pairs best with white and sparkling wines, especially slightly spicy wines which will counter the creamy flavor.
When selecting San Simón cheese in the market, you are more likely to be purchasing a wedge, rather than a whole cheese, in which case you can easily assess the condition of the cheese. The coloration should be even, with no sign of holes or cracking, and cheese which is discolored or moldy should be refused. If you purchase a round of cheese, most cheese shops are willing to take a small core sample for you so that you can test the cheese to ensure that it is good. San Simón cheese should be stored under refrigeration.

GDPR Update February 2019: Camera Surveillance
In a recent case between the owner of a plot with a number of business premises and the local residents the Dutch Data Protection Authority (the DDPA) ruled that the owner is allowed to protect its property with camera surveillance. The DDPA's decision provides (practical) insight on the requirements the DDPA sets for camera surveillance and in the assessment of the legal basis of "legitimate interests" where applying camera surveillance.
The case relates to a land plot with a number of business premises secured by means of two outdoor cameras. The cameras film part of the public road. The local residents requested the DDPA take enforcement actions against the controller, as, in their opinion, the camera surveillance was in breach of the applicable privacy legislation. The local residents live next to and opposite the area where the cameras are placed. To access their homes, the local residents have to pass part of the public road on which the cameras are directed.
The DDPA initially rejected the request for enforcement and ruled that the controller has a legitimate interest in camera surveillance. The local residents objected to the DPPA's decision. In their statement of objection, the local residents argue that (i) the DDPA has not motivated sufficiently its decision of the controller having a legitimate interest, and (ii) the controller is in breach of its obligation to inform data subjects about the fact that they are filmed on public roads. The DDPA responded to this in its decision of objection of 28 June 2018 (Dutch only), published on November 1, 2018.
Legitimate interest in camera surveillance
In the decision on the objection, the DDPA sets out that three cumulative conditions must be met in order to rely on the legal ground of legitimate interests. The DDPA based its judgment on the Article 29 Working Party opinion of 9 April 2014.
The three conditions are as follows.
i. The legitimate interest of the controller must be lawful, sufficiently clearly articulated and must represent a real and present interest
In the present case, the controller aims to secure its property, and the goods and persons entrusted to it by means of the camera surveillance. Camera surveillance also ensures that the controller is able to make a substantiated report to the police in case of security incidents, if necessary. The DDPA sets out that the protection of property is the exercise of a fundamental right and as such is a legitimate interest.
In addition, it has been established that an incident occurred recently on the controller's plot. The DDPA deems that the interest of the controller is therefore a real and present interest, and not 'speculative'. The question is whether an incident is a key requirement for a controller's interest to be "real and present". We assess this not to be the case. It is more likely that the DDPA means that if an incident occurred, the interest is real and present in any case, but there may also be a real and present interest in other cases.
ii. Processing must be necessary for the purpose(s) pursued; proportionality and subsidiarity should be assessed
When applying the proportionality and subsidiarity test, the controller should first consider whether the breach of the privacy of the data subjects is proportionate to the purpose that the processing serves. In addition, the controller must verify if the purpose can also be pursued in a way that is less detrimental to the data subjects.
In the decision on the objection, the DDPA first assesses the proportionality principle. The DDPA considers that filming (part of) the public road is not necessarily disproportionate. However, it emphasizes that filming the public road must be limited to the parts that are inevitable and strictly necessary for the protection of persons and property.
In this case, it proved impossible to protect the property (including the fence) and persons adequately without filming part of the public road.
Whether it is permissible to film part of the public road or publicly accessible areas depends on the particular circumstances of the case. The controller must ensure that the filming of the public road is limited to what is strictly necessary for the purpose of the camera surveillance. Additionally, the controller must determine whether it is necessary for the cameras to film 24/7. It may be sufficient to make recordings during limited periods of the day.
With regard to the principle of subsidiarity, the DDPA considers it to be necessary for the purpose that the plot boundary (entirely fenced) and the adjacent public road are filmed. The local residents suggested that the controller could use an internal security system instead of two outdoor cameras. However, the DDPA takes the view that with an internal security system the controller would not be able to achieve the purpose, because it would be impossible to capture appropriately footage of individuals causing damage in front of the fence or on the plot. Accordingly, the DDPA finds that the purpose for which the personal data is processed cannot be achieved in a less detrimental way.
iii. Applying the balancing test
The legal ground of legitimate interests calls for a balancing test. The controller must balance its (or a third party's) legitimate interests against the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects. The controller may only rely on the legal basis of legitimate interests if the controller's legitimate interests outweigh the interests, fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subjects.
This balancing test must address the consequences of the processing of personal data for the data subjects. It must also address the (additional) measures that the controller has taken to prevent and limit the undesirable consequences for the data subjects. In the present case, the DDPA considers the following factors relevant:
The camera footage is deleted automatically after two weeks. This is within the four-week period as prescribed in the DDPA's Policy on Camera Surveillance (Beleidsregels Cameratoezicht) (Dutch only). The four-week period provides the controller sufficient time to review the camera footage and, where necessary, to report incidents
The video recorder is password protected. This prevents unauthorized access to the camera footage. In addition, the supplier of the camera equipment maintains log files of log-in attempts; and
Passers-by on the public road are informed sufficiently about the camera surveillance and the possibility that they are being filmed.
The DDPA states that these measures are sufficient for the protection of personal data.
Information provision
In the present case, the DDPA established that a sticker with a camera symbol was affixed to the door of the controller's business property. According to the DDPA, it can be deduced clearly from the context of this symbol who the controller is and for what the purpose of the camera surveillance is. Furthermore, the symbol is also clearly visible from the public road, so that passers-by are also sufficiently informed of the camera surveillance.
The decision on the objection does not address whether and how the other information in accordance with the GDPR is provided to the data subjects (namely informing data subjects on, among other things, the retention period and their rights). The data subjects also have a right to receive this information under the GDPR. In practice, controllers can solve this by placing information about camera surveillance on their websites or by making an information form available at the location itself.
It is questionable whether a single sticker with the symbol of a camera is still sufficient if more than one company would have been located in the building, or if the camera footage would also have been used for other purposes, such as analyzing footfall flows in a shopping center.
Carrying out a DPIA
If the controller systematically and on a large scale monitors the public space by means of camera surveillance, the controller is obliged to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). This is the case, for example, if camera surveillance is applied in shopping centers, parking lots and garages, at stations or at airports. The DDPA's Policy on Camera Surveillance (Beleidsregels Cameratoezicht) may provide guidance.
Final comments
The decision on the objection of June 20, 2018, provides insight on the requirements the DDPA deems important with regard to camera surveillance. This includes the DDPA's Policy on Camera Surveillance (Beleidsregels Cameratoezicht), even though this policy was adopted under the Privacy Directive.
The decision is relevant for organizations using camera surveillance in or near public areas. It is our experience that camera surveillance is a sensitive topic that may lead to tension between organizations and local residents or other stakeholders. As the DDPA acts in response to data subjects' complaints, it is important that organizations make sure the personal data processing in the context of camera surveillance is organized appropriately. This means in any case that the relevant considerations and decisions must be recorded. Furthermore, in many cases a DPIA must be carried out prior to the processing.
The local residents have appealed against the decision on the objection. The court is currently examining the case.

1956 Ford Crown Victoria Custom - $49,900
The modifications are not radical-no chopped top, no custom bodywork-but they make this Crown Vic look special.
Custom car builders are like magicians—you can see the final result, but the details involved in the trick aren't as clear. The best customs hide their details so well that you almost need a standard car next to them to see all the tricks. This 1956 Ford Crown Victoria is one of those awesome cars that's both instantly recognizable and neatly customized to be totally unique. It's also traditional, using techniques that have been passed down since the late 1940s, so it looks the way a custom is supposed to look. Not over-done, not ridiculous, not crazy just for the sake of being crazy, but instead an artist's take on what was already a gorgeous car. With expert workmanship and a lot of neat little things to make it stand out, it's a car you could spend hours examining and not see it all.
The two-tone candy pearl paint is the first thing that jumps out at you, and we'll be the first to admit that the fluorescent lights in our studio doesn't do it justice. The purple areas are deep and vibrant and the white is actually a pearl that has a bit of a purplish tint to it when the light hits it just right, so it looks like a million bucks. The modifications are not radical—no chopped top, no custom bodywork—but they make this Crown Vic look special. The most obvious change is the grille, which is a sleek tubular setup that neatly fits in the original opening and works with the nosed and decked hood to make it look very clean from the front. The spectacular Crown Victoria trim remains and it's not like anyone could do better than the factory in that regard, and it defines the car's look from any angle. However, you will also note the window sill trim from a '55 Mercury Montclair, the twin frenched antennas in the quarter panel, and shaved door handles just to clean it up a bit. Most of the emblems were deleted as well, although the 'Crown Victoria' emblems remain on the doors, a nice touch. Out back there's a continental kit, which should probably be standard equipment on all Crown Vics, as well as white taillight lenses that let the jet-like fins inside the housing become the prominent styling feature. Add in smoothed bumpers with those etched flowers (something everyone who visits the showroom finds remarkable) and you have a Crown Vic that looks familiar but unique.
The interior is a bit more radical, featuring a custom center console and power bucket seats from a late-model. Everything was wrapped in pleated vinyl for a familiar '50s vibe, but aside from the dashboard, none of it is 1956 Ford. Factory gauges are joined by a trio of aftermarket dials built into the console, and Vintage Air A/C was added using discreet ducts under the dash. You'll note a controller for the Air Ride suspension tucked in next to the console, along with switches for the under-car lighting system. There's also an AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit in the dash, which also has controls for the 10-disc CD changer in the trunk. Appropriately purple accent lighting under the dash continues the theme and it includes beautifully tailored floor mats that match the carpets. Other features include power windows, speakers built into the kick panels and rear package shelf, and a pair of custom bucket seats in back. Workmanship is impressive, with above-average fit and finish, and while the car has been driven and enjoyed, the fact that the hand-made interior is holding up so well is a testament to the quality of the job. Nice work! It's also a great car for road trips, because the trunk is still giant and includes a spare tire so you don't have to wrestle with the spare in the continental kit.
The engine appears to be the car's original 312 cubic inch V8, which has obviously been dressed up for show. Matching purple paint on the block, heads, and intake, plus the accessories, makes the Y-block V8 really pop in the white engine bay. Things like the A/C compressor and hoses were tastefully hidden down low in the engine bay and the power steering system uses a Saginaw pump and a modern rack-and-pinion, so the steering feels quite natural. Customs are not about all-out speed, but the well-dressed V8 moves the Crown Vic without seeming to work very hard and it's an easy cruiser at today's highway speeds. You may also spot some custom pinstripes on the radiator shroud, a giant electric fan for warm days and effective A/C, and the remote buttons for the door solenoids so you can easily get into the car. This is the right way to build a custom: fully functional.
The chassis is mostly original Ford components, although it does have upgrades like power disc brakes and the aforementioned steering system. It's painted black for low maintenance and the floors have a coating of rustproofing compound to help control noise and sound, but it's not hiding anything—we can see two small patches in the floor but nothing that seems unreasonable for a car like this. The tubes on the inner rockers are purple neon lights that work pretty well with the custom look and you'll note that even the driveshaft was painted to match the bodywork. There's a new gas tank out back, air springs to help adjust the rear end's attitude (perfect if you have passengers in the back seat), and fresh shocks all around that ensure that it rides as well as it looks. 15-inch wheels are fitted with Cadillac hubcaps (another traditional customizer's trick) and 215/75/15 whitewall radials that handle well.
I don't know who built this car, but he knew what he was doing. The bodywork is exemplary, the interior is beautifully finished, and it works like a real car. It starts easily, everything works properly including the A/C, and it isn't so radical that it's a challenge to drive. A few thoughtful touches will make it stand out just about anywhere it goes and you'll never see another one quite like it. If you like your customs to be usable while still being gorgeous, we haven't seen it done better than this Ford. Call today!

Even in this day and age of GPS and digital cockpits, all navigation in aircraft needs charts. Before every landing the crew will look at the landing charts and check the taxi routing. They used to do so on paper but now they do so on phones and tablets. And you can do the same.
You can do the same with EXACTLY the same charts as used in real aviation because NavDataPro Charts offer LIDO charts, the same as used by most airlines. They are even as up to date as in cockpits around the world.
Aerosoft already offers the NavDataPro update service for the FMS navdata.
With NavDataPro Charts Aerosoft will expand the regular update service to the airport and enroute charts. Like the navdata the chart data are supplied by Lufthansa Sytems and are used in real world aviation by more than 180 airlines throughout the world.
The chart data will be updated monthly. Every time the user logs in he will get access to the up-to-date charts automatically. You don't have to do anything to get the charts updated.

Our founders, Susan Nelson and Gordan Case, have a long multi-generational history of community service and philanthropy. They have a passion for building special places, and wanted to create even more contribution by building Calgary's first Smart City space, called TwinHillsTM on SE 17th Ave. OpenGate strives for creative and innovate practices in its design and development and an approach that achieves the Five Bottom LineTM Principles (Environmental, Social, Wellness, Technological and Economic) to achieve a Class A commercial, industrial, retail and mixed-use town within our city.
Our site contains some of Alberta's fastest broadband, and 8-mile access to downtown Calgary. As a result, TwinHills is also well situated to be one of Calgary's new locations for future Silicon Valley satellite offices, and Calgary's tech start-up industry. TwinHills has already begun winning a number of prestigious awards based on its LEED-ND design, 5 Bottom Line Principles and innovate approach to supporting individuals at all stages, wages and ages.
We believe that a win-win can be created for people, industry and the environment. Through wise building practices and innovative approaches, we can support the needs of individuals, our community and Calgary, as well as industry leaders and start-up companies. By providing a demonstration site, we hope to continue production and implementation of innovative products and services, while ensuring sustainability for people, prosperity and the planet.
We have founded a non-profit name TechVivo.org, and make its mandate to capture, synthesize and leverage global technology innovations for increased liveability and reliable connectivity in water, energy, communications, transportation, security and building infrastructure at a community level. Through the intelligent exchange of sophisticated technology, we hope to demonstrate that partnership between industry and government, start-ups and global organizations, as well as environmental and urban organizations, we are able to find more sustainable practices that can be replicated in other geographies. Our desire is to start changing how we live in our environment in Calgary, and propagate our success internationally.

Lidija (asirski: Luddu; grčki: Λυδία) je geografski naziv na regiju u zapadnoj Maloj Aziji, odnosno povijesni naziv za kraljevstvo iz Željeznog doba, perzijsku satrapiju, te za rimsku provinciju. Regija se nalazi istočno od drevne Jonije, odnosno u današnjim turskim pokrajinama Manisa i İzmir. Stanovnici drevne Lidije govorili su lidijskim jezikom, koji je pripadao skupini anatolijskih jezika, odnosno indoeuropskoj jezičnoj porodici. U doba najvećeg uspona, Lidijsko kraljevstvo pod vladavinom Kreza protezalo se preko cijele zapadne Anatolije. Smatra se kako su se najstarije kovanice pojavile u Lidiji oko 660. pr. Kr. Glavni grad regije bio je Sard.

Teritorij Lidije još su oko 1200. pr. Kr. naseljavali Hetiti. Lidija se spominje u Homerovoj Ilijadi kao Maionia ili Maeonia, a prema grčkim izvorima regija je naziv "Lidija" dobila prema kralju Lidu. Herodot tvrdi kako su Lidijci izumili kovani novac, kojeg su kovali od zlata i srebra. Sredinom 6. stoljeća pr. Kr. Lidijom je vladao kralj Krez koji je bio poznat po golemom bogatstvu, pa i danas postoji uzrečica "Bogat kao Krez". Krez je financirao gradnju Artemidinog hrama u Efezu koji spada u sedam svjetskih čuda. Godine 546. pr. Kr. perzijski vladar Kir Veliki osvaja Lidiju koja postaje perzijska pokrajina (satrapija). Prema predaji, Kir Veliki je dao poštedjeti Kreza koji je postao savjetnikom na perzijskom dvoru u Pasargadu. U vrijeme perzijske vladavine, Lidiju su često napadali Grci koji su jednom prodrli do Sarda i poharali grad, što je bio označilo početak Grčko-perzijskih ratova u kojima su Darije Veliki i Kserkso I. vodili kažnjeničke ekspedicije protiv Eretrije, odnosno Atene. Razdoblje perzijske dominacije prekida Aleksandar Makedonski koji priključuje Lidiju svom carstvu, a nakon njegove smrti ona nastavlja biti dijelom helenističkih kraljevstva. Sredinom 1. stoljeća pr. Kr. Rimsko Carstvo osvaja Anatoliju čime Jonija dolazi pod upravu Rima. U vrijeme cara Dioklecijana Lidija dobiva status rimske provincije. Kasnije je bila pod upravom Bizanta, sve dok je u 15. stoljeću nisu osvojili Turci, pa teritorij Jonije postaje dijelom Osmanskog carstva, odnosno moderne Turske.

Fire Danger. Using a grill on a wooden deck can lead to unwanted fires. Sparks might ignite wood decking boards or railings. Windy conditions can increase the danger from stray sparks.
Recessed Grill Mats. Recessed Grill Mats combine aluminum rails and hinge connectors with several different insert materials to offer maximum performance in high traffic entrances such as office buildings, schools and airports.
Protect your deck or patio from spills with this Heavy Duty BBQ Grill Mat. This waterproof PVC mat boasts a slip-resistant diamond tread textured surface and is ideal for protecting your wood or concrete from spills of oil or grease.
It seemed to do the job of catching ashes and protecting the deck. When I got my table, I removed the mat and it was pretty dirty on the deck. Luckily my deck is made of Seven Trust which cleans very easily.
More importantly, grill mats or under grill pads can protect your wood deck from catching fire due to embers or steaming hot food falling on the deck. Conclusion: If you have a wood deck and like a lot of barbecuing, the Original Grill Pad is the best grill mat.
If you wish, you ought to consider getting a grill mat for your grill to sit upon. These mats are fire-retardant and made specifically to protect wooden decks and other surfaces from the dangers of flame and sparks.
