Experts Task Niger Delta Youths On Stimulating MSME's Growth Beyond Oil
Feku Nightingale
The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Simbi Wabote has urged young Nigerians to be part of constructive engagement that would enable them to plan strategically for economic survival in the country.
Wabote made the remarks during a one day summit for 2021 Niger Delta Micro Small and Medium Enterprises with the theme 'Stimulating MSME's Growth Beyond Oil' on Friday in Port Harcourt.
He urged young Nigerians to prepare themselves to be competitive in the emerging world economic order beyond oil-and-gas.
Wabote stated that the theme of the summit was very apt and timely, in view of the fact that energy transmission has become an immediate reality, and must ensure that the Niger Delta region is not left behind from the shift away from the fossil fuel and renewable energy.x
Furthermore, He stressed that the whole world was walking away from crude oil and urged Nigerian to embrace change in energy and other discovered resources to grow the economy.
Wabote commended President Muhammadu Buhari's administration for its continuing advance on policies and programmes to diversify the economy and prepare Nigeria for the eventuality.
"Some of the policies like closing of land borders from smuggling of goods and encouraging patronage of local products to grow entrepreneurs among others is in line with the policy thrust.
"Government's support in reforming our servicing away from oil has helped Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME'S) to contribute a very significant role in various sub sectors of the economy that constituted non oil sector.
"MSME'S own 96 per cent of businesses and generate 84 per cent of employment in Nigeria and remains the back bone of the country's economy despite the challenging times it's facing," Wabote said.
Also, Mrs Natasha Akoti,one of the Key note Speaker who spoke on "The Healthy Diversification of the Niger Delta Economy away from it's Reliance on Oil" said that Niger Delta region with over 30 million people has sustainable percentage of poverty which needs to be curbed.
Akoti who is also a Chief Executive Officer of Legend Art Group said that Niger Delta as one of the region that supplies revenue to the entire nation is in a deplorable condition, and should be robustly supported especially the SME's to scale in the respective enterprises.
"It's quite fortunate that the Federal Government has put in a lot of mechanisms to mitigate the challenges such as access to finance, access to markets and also providing a safe haven for SME's to be monitored,"she said.
Akoti called on stakeholders involved in sharing healthy framework in supporting the enterprise to come together and provide solutions to all the financing, electricity, market strategies that the SME'S need.
She also called on government, all stakeholders, banking sector and all well to do private sectors to come together provide funds to help build the capacity of SME'S in Nigeria to curb unemployment and insecurity in the country.

How Albertsons Paves A Path For Amazon To Buy Express Scripts
Bruce Japsen Senior Contributor
I write about healthcare business and policy
A deeper Amazon relationship with Express Scripts could be a beachhead to expand into pharmacy and retail healthcare
like Amazon, Albertsons is also looking to get a better deal on healthcare costs for its employees

Albertsons and Rite Aid both fill prescriptions, so it makes sense the grocery store chain that also owns pharmacies would be interested in buying a drugstore operator.
But Albertsons is also an employer with 280,000 employees from supermarkets that use a Rite Aid-owned pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) for worker prescription drug benefits. Once Albertsons completes its purchase of the remaining 2,500 Rite Aids that Walgreens Boots Alliance isn't buying, the grocer will also own EnvisionRx, a PBM that manages the supermarket chain's employee drug coverage.
It could be a path for Amazon to follow if the online retailer wants to buy the PBM it uses to help manage its employee drug costs. The PBM Express Scripts has Amazon as a client.
It's the kind of deal that has already been speculated for the online retailer Amazon, which last month announced it was creating a healthcare company with Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The three said they are forming an "independent company" to improve healthcare and lower costs for their hundreds of thousands of U.S. employees.
Some analysts and media pundits have been speculating for months that Amazon will at least take a look at Express Scripts. A deeper Amazon relationship with Express Scripts could be a beachhead to expand into pharmacy and retail healthcare .
On the day Amazon announced it was forming a healthcare company with Berkshire and JPMorgan, the Express Scripts CEO said he wanted to hear more from Amazon. "We look forward to hearing more about this new initiative and how we can work together to improve health care for everyone," Tim Wentworth, the CEO of Express Scripts said. Express Scripts reports its fourth quarter 2017 earnings this week and is expected to provide an update on its business strategy and outlook for 2018.
Amazon and its partners said the initial focus will be on "technology solutions" that will provide U.S. employees and their families with "simplified, high-quality and transparent healthcare at a reasonable cost." The statement didn't disclose many details about the venture, saying it was in the "early planning stages," with executives acknowledging healthcare's many complexities.
Amazon, which bought its own grocery chain when it purchased Whole Foods, is also reportedly interested in getting into the medical supply business and CNBC reported last week the online retailer was getting into the business of selling over-the-counter health products.
Albertsons, best known for its grocery brands, is interested in buying the remaining Rite Aid pharmacies to get more foot traffic into its stores as well as grow the larger prescription business that will be created. The combination of Rite Aid and Albertsons will have 4,350 pharmacies across 38 states and Washington D.C.
But like Amazon, Albertsons is also looking to get a better deal on healthcare costs for its employees . And even though Albertsons knew the prescription business given the hundreds of pharmacies in its stores, it doesn't own a PBM.
"This gives us great confidence in our ability to successfully bring our two companies together and realize the full potential of the combination for our customers, employees, partners and shareholders," Albertsons CEO Robert Miller said of the grocery store chain's merger with Rite Aid.

Q: Offline sound recording in iphone I am developing a music mixing app in iphone. It'll mix the music and user can compose a new music from it. I need to record this final music. I had used AVAudiorecorder to record this one. But no change. It can record sound from microphone but I need to record app sound.
I had used audio queue call back function to record the audio. But when app runs I can hear the audio from my app and I couldn't hear any sound from recorded audio. There is no problem with recording since I can hear the audio recorded through microphone. But I need an offline recorder which can record the audio output of iphone, rather than the audio input through microphone. I need a recorder which can record audio using ipod touch (no microphone).
Any help?

A: I found the solution in another way . I had used audio graph consist of two audio units. A digital mixer and output audio unit. I had created the mixer with six channels so that I can play six instruments simultaneously. When the user compose the music, I'll save the content and during offline recording I'll sequence the saved instruments to mixer.
For better performance I'll stop the audio graph while loading new audio or instrument files.
After loading the files, the recording will resume again.
In input playback function of mixer, according to the input bus number, audio packets will be fed to mixer. In input play back of output audio unit, a new buffer is allocated to store the mixer output. The mixer output was created using audio render function. Since I was not modifying audio input buffer there will be no sound outside the app. Finally I had an offline audio recorder.
Steps

*

*Create an audio session using recording and playback mode

*Create an audio graph with a mixer and an audio output unit.

*Configure mixer channels or input bus numbers (number of audio streams).

*Create input play back method for mixer and audio unit.

*Configure source and destination audio format to audio unit input and output buses.

*Create an audio file using destination format (For AAC encoding check for AAC encoding support).

*Fetch the audio files and develop a method to give audio packets for a specified channel.

*In audio input play back of mixer configure the audio file fetching.

*In audio input play back of output unit, use the audio render function to fetch the mixer output in new audio buffers. Store the audio buffer to opened audio file.

*Pause recording using audio graph stop and resume recording using audio graph start methods. During this interval configure the new sound file fetching.

*Finally stop recording and close the audio file.

Home GADGETS Apple Watch in London, Paris and Hong Kong
Apple Watch in London, Paris and Hong Kong
DavidApr 13, 2015GADGETS, NEWS0
On Friday realized clearance of pre-orders for Apple Watch. Retail strategy against Apple smart hours differs significantly from methods. And methods of selling other company's products. In addition to retail stores, Apple Watch can be found in not quite the usual places. Let's, where before Apple products not sold at all. These are small shops in the most prestigious department stores in London, Paris and Hong Kong. Journalists portal TheVerge visited each of them.
Apple Watch in Isetan, Tokyo
When I approached Isetan. This is a huge department store in the busy business district of Shinjuku. I saw a big line of people. When I came closer. It was found that at least half of the people – is reporters and photographers. So actually I was in the queue sixteenth. Line of people kept growing, and at 10:30 am we were inside a dark corridor.
Next, the two columns were formed. One for those who would like to enroll in a fitting device. The second – for those who just want to look at the device in the store. This scheme has confused many people. It turned out that the example of Apple Watch will not work. All time is scheduled for late evening. As a result, some desperate buyers have moved to another queue. To view even on the clock.
The shop is a black box on the background of a well-lit store. Situated near the store Cartier. And that reminds most brilliant and attractive place in the world. The walls are decorated with photos of glowing hours. And in the profiling clock adorn the walls. On the tables laid out various models of Apple Watch and straps. In the shop, there is nothing superfluous. There were a lot of curious fans of Apple. The audience was mostly men.
Apple Watch in Galeries Lafayette, Paris
I did not know what to expect when I arrived in the morning on a motorcycle to "Gallery Lafayette." Prestigious, and filled with tourists department store in the center of Paris. I thought that the scene is unlikely to be the as violent picture, as in the early days of the sale of iPhone. However, I decided to get up early to avoid crowded. As a result, I was in the store at 8:15 am, 45 minutes before it opened. Red velvet ropes and metal fences were placed in front of one of the entrances. And surrounded by a group of employees crowded, dressed all in black. There were two men about 20 years. The first was a Chinese engineering student. He lives in Germany, the second lanky Belgian software developer. Both spent the night near the entrance to the store.
As well as those with whom I spoke earlier. Both have already decided that buy Apple Watch. Not counting Apple employees who came to the event. There were locals and vacationers. They came to try on the device. An elderly German with whom I later spoke. He said that he had ordered his watch 14-year-old son. In the first minutes of the beginning of registration of pre-orders.
All guards patrolled the area in bright orange vests. Although the people were few. By the time, the doors opened shop. There were about 40 people. Apple employees had all inside. And asked to take the escalator to the second level. There we met the rest of the staff. The predominant part of the clients were male. Distinguish journalists from fans "apple art" was virtually impossible.
Shop Apple Watch relatively small. The four sections of the long wooden tables. Watches were placed under glass along the wooden tables. Some of the samples were in the public domain. Each section is divided branded high walls. It's hard to call the store opening in the Galeries Lafayette something enchanting. And almost everyone who was there that morning, not seduced by buying hours. While Apple is confident that the most dedicated fans of apple products have already made their choice in favor of Apple Watch.
Apple Watch in Selfridges, London
I drove up to Selfridges at 8:30 am. Usually, I go to the store. Just because I can not afford to buy a $ 3,000 leather jacket or a watch. And that is worth more than my house. But today I'm here to try Apple Watch Edition for $ 17,000. Outside, I noticed the guards blocking the entrance to 9am. Gradually forms the beginning of all people. I managed to get in among the first. Journalists, too, did not miss the opportunity to get into the store first.
Once inside, you immediately realize that was exactly in the Apple Store. The walls are decorated with the company logo. The Clock located on the long wooden table in the center of the room. Shop decorated with tall trees, and in the windows – cut from paper butterflies. Here, in contrast to most retail stores Apple. You can not just go and try the device. All the Apple Store were eight demo stations. But the clock is locked to the supports. There are iPad-s that are in similar blocks of plastic. It let you know about the basic functions. And the possibility of different models of Apple Watch.
In special tables with drawers bedside tables stored only Sport and Watch. In order to try Watch Edition. You need to go to a separate room. Unfortunately, even if you have decided on the watch model. Buy model (at least) at the beginning will only be online. Apple Store employees help download the application and pre-order.
I was the first to apply the day the most expensive collection Watch Edition. Special box, the same exclusive, as the device itself. The box was delivered to the place of fitting. I tried both models 38 and 42 mm. And I can say with confidence that each of them looks like a golden collection of Apple Watch. Apple Watch Edition does not resemble something unique or premium. Perhaps most of all I was amazed that use the watch on his wrist is impossible. You can only use the demo units that are on the counter. However, those who really find $ 17,000. They are unlikely to be a long time to learn the functionality of hours. While in the store, they just buy a watch.

Consolidated net sales increased to $822.5 million worldwide during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to net sales of $771.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, consolidated net sales increased 7.5% during the third quarter. Growth came from all product areas, with Spine, bone healing and microfixation showing the most spectacular growth of 16.5%. Next in line was Biomet's knee business with a 9.4% quarterly growth compared with the period ended Feb 28 2013.
Geographically, U.S. net sales increased 7.6% during the third quarter to $508.9 million, while Europe net sales increased 8.1% (5.7% constant currency) to $199.8 million and International (primarily Canada, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region) net sales decreased 0.1% (increased 9.9% constant currency) to $113.8 million.
Consolidated net sales reflect the combined net benefit of approximately 1.2% from additional revenue related to the acquisition of Lanx, Inc., offset somewhat by lower revenue as a result of the bracing divestiture and certain decreased royalties.
Excluding special items, adjusted operating income totaled $218.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to $216.3 million during the prior year period. On the same basis, adjusted net income totaled $107.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to $94.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.
All of which filters down to an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 of $271.5 million compared to $264.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Urogynecology is a surgical subspecialty of urology and gynecology that involves the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence and female pelvic floor disorders. Contrary to general opinion, these problems are incredibly common, most women are reluctant to the idea of discussing them with doctors that specialize in urogynecology San Antonio. This is due to the stigma that is often associated with these conditions. It is a fact that urinary incontinence is one of the most distressing lesions; the loss of bladder control, bowel symptoms, and pelvic discomfort make them feel ostracized and unfortunately they are not aware that these disorders have a name and they are very common. However, health is a very important issue for all individuals and when it comes to health, women have many questions to ask. This is why there are more and more clinics that specialize in women's health San Antonio and they have a professional approach towards some of the most alarming health problems that women have to deal with.
When it comes to women's health San Antonio, dedicated clinics have a comprehensive approach given that women are usually prone to many unique disorders and regarding this aspect, they face various challenges that begin early in life and continue well into menopause and beyond. Urogynecology San Antonio is one of the areas that requires increased attention given that women tend to ignore this problem and are not willing to talk openly about it. The greatest thing is that doctors that specialize in Urogynecology San Antonio are knowledgeable about both Obstetrics and Gynecology but they also have additional training regarding the evaluation and treatment of various conditions that affect female pelvic organs, muscles as well as the connective tissue that support these organs. Due to their training, these doctors are able to handle both surgical and non-surgical treatments of non-cancerous gynecologic issues, such as childbirth, menopause or aging.
Most women contact Urogynecology San Antonio after childbirth because these problems often occur after childbirth. Yet the list of factors that lead to these conditions is quite large and it includes heavy lifting on a daily basis, severe constipation, chronic coughing and even obesity. Fortunately, there are three main approaches regarding these conditions and they can be easily classified in behavioral, pharmacological and surgical. Typically, the surgery is the final solution that doctors recommend only when all the others have failed. Although reproductive and urinary organs are unrelated, they use common ducts which means that they are treated as a whole. However, there is a variety of surgical procedures, more or less painful, and more information is recommended before accepting one of them.
Urogynecology San Antonio is a sensitive topic for any women but clinics that specialize in women's health San Antonio can provide a priceless help to each and every women who deals with urinary incontinence. Moreover, they also offer comprehensive information that empower women to take an active role in maintaining their health. In addition, the concept of Women's health San Antonio also means easy access to a wide variety of dedicated services designed to help women deal better with all the challenges that occur throughout their life. When it comes to maintaining a healthy body, regular visits to these clinics are required. Each woman goes through life with the risk of many medical complications but this risk can be diminished if they focus on a healthy lifestyle and address any symptoms, no matter how insignificant they may seem.

This fine semi-detached property is presented to the market in good order and offers a wealth of benefits for the growing family. Conveniently located within easy walking distance to all the major secondary schools and colleges, the parish primary and the excellent shopping amenities at Five Oaks, it is yet a ten minute drive into town. Traditionally arranged over two floors, the accommodation is excellent. A more than generous 'Wow' 24ft living room, with rustic features including exposed wooden floor boards, bay window and two functional fireplaces occupies the ground floor and the open plan flows through to the kitchen/breakfast room. An extension to the original property, it is exceptionally spacious, certainly the 'hub' of the home, with 'on trend' high gloss units, fully integrated with quality Siemens appliances, and with direct access into the garden. This level also offers a study, which could be used as a downstairs bedroom adjacent to a contemporary newly installed shower room. The upper level comprises three bedrooms, two doubles, and a single, and in addition to the house bathroom, there is too, access into the attic room which has been converted and offers ample space for either storage or for the older child to enjoy their own space. However, it would be fair to say there is some gentle updating required internally and this would certainly enhance the property. To the rear is an attractive garden, mainly laid to lawn, with bordering hedging and shrubberies, fully enclosed, making it safe for pets and young children. A block built shed, with plumbing and electricity provides outdoor storage, workshop or could be used as a utility room. Parking is provided to the front with the single garage and three additional spaces, plus on road parking for visitors. Realistically priced, AND WITH NO FORWARD CHAIN, this one has to be viewed to fully appreciate the size and what it has on offer. Indigo Estates are delighted to be appointed sole selling agent. We highly recommend it!!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A legislative panel has endorsed keeping Arkansas' Medicaid expansion another year despite uncertainty about a federal lawsuit challenging the program's work requirement.
The Joint Budget Committee on Tuesday approved the budget for the state's Medicaid program and its hybrid Medicaid expansion. Arkansas' Medicaid expansion uses federal and state funds to purchase private insurance for low-income residents.
The bill advanced as officials are waiting for a judge to rule on a lawsuit challenging the work requirement the state began enforcing last year on the expansion. The bill now heads to the Senate for a vote.
The budget bill needs three-fourths support in the Senate and House to be approved and sent to the governor's desk.


Kindergarteners who live in a remote village in Vietnam will benefit from two brand new classrooms in the New Year thanks to the generosity of Niteco employees.
The children of Coc O village in the mountainous province of Bac Kan have been without sufficient classrooms for the past year, resulting in disrupted learning for almost 50 schoolchildren, with a further 16 expected to need a place at school next year. Upon learning of their predicament, staff at Niteco clubbed together to raise a phenomenal USD8,500 in order for classrooms to be constructed.
The village of Coc O is located more than six hours drive from Hanoi, Vietnam's capital city, and is considered one of the least populated areas in Northern Vietnam, partly due to its rugged terrain and forested topography. As a result, living conditions are basic, with access to the village a challenge.
The Vice Principal of the kindergarten, Hoàng Thị Đào, thanked Niteco for coming to the school's rescue and emphasized the impact the gift made to the small community. At a special ceremony that's slated to take place in January 2018, the classrooms will be named in Niteco's honor.
Meeting the essential needs of a community that's often ignored is just one of Niteco's priorities. A company, committed to improving the lives of people less fortunate, Niteco, through its charity organization, NICEF, has also delivered months of IT training to vulnerable youths this year.
"As people around the world exchange gifts with their loved ones and friends this season, we were keen to give a gift to a community that will benefit them beyond Christmas and for generations to come" said Hau.

Not All Oil in Water Monitors Are Created Equal
Many widely used oil in water monitors in service today only detect a fraction of hazardous hydrocarbons in water samples, leaving many hydrocarbons un-monitored and contributing to pollution issues around the world.
Other oil in water monitors offer a total hydrocarbon measurement including aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and results in more accurate readings.
It is important to understand the fundaments differences between the oil in water monitors available before choosing to purchase a monitor.
Unfortunately, the widely used oil in water monitors utilizing fluorescence technology faces serious drawbacks in terms of sufficiently monitoring water for presence of hydrocarbon leaks. The popular fluorescence technology based oil in water monitors emit a light on the water sample. The light is typically in the ultra-violet light spectrum, or in the IR spectrum.
Aromatic hydrocarbons get excited by this light and "fluoresce".
A detector, typically a spectrometer or photometer detects the excitation of the aromatic hydrocarbons and attempts quantify the concentration, typically using ppm engineering units. Several drawbacks exist with the fluorescence method of detection.
Many non-polluting elements found in water sources may be fluoresced, causing a false positive. Particulate in water such as turbidity may include liquids and solids such as clay, wood, dirt, plankton, algae, and bacteria.
Attempts have been made to reduce the interference by filtering the water before analysis, however these elements are difficult to filter completely and effectively.
Clay particles can even pass through a one micron filter.
Inorganic materials and gases may absorb giving erroneous results as well.
Naturally occurring bubbles in the water also give erroneous readings.
Furthermore, straight chain VOCs and aliphatic compounds typically do not respond with the UV Fluorescence methods, causing undervalued readings which can cause more problems than false positives.
Optional filters are used in an attempt to correct the problem of interference but produce little results. Filtering also results in 'scrubbing' of critical oil components that need to be quantified. A large surface sensing area of the sample is used in attempt to increase accuracy, but this does not correct the problems associated with turbidity.
Oil hydrocarbons may still hide behind solids and evade measurement.
This results in inaccurate readings. In addition, selective light filtering techniques, which use specific wavelengths, are used in attempt to increase accuracy and sensitivity.
This technique is also highly sensitive to anything in addition to VOCs and oil molecules, such the aforementioned contamination. As a result, output readings including zero may be unstable. Calibrations may be affected as well. This filtering technique often blocks out important oil molecules critical for accurate and representative measurements.
An alternative method to measure total hydrocarbons in the water currently exists.
This method includes a proprietary membrane technology combined with a solid-state sensor housed in a temperature-controlled analyzer cabinet.
The water sample flows continuously into the analyzer cabinet and past one side of the proprietary membrane and exits out the analyzer drain.
A representative sample of the hydrocarbons in the water permeate thru the membrane where a carrier air sweeps the sample to the solid-state sensor for quantification.
Simplified flow diagram of the membrane-sensor oil in water monitor method
Unlike fluorescence methods, the membrane-sensor method detects both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, giving the user a complete picture of polluting hydrocarbons in the water sample.
Analytical Systems Keco (ASI KECO) is the only company that has developed and incorporated the principles of the membrane-sensor method in the Model 204 analyzer.
In summary, the use of the membrane-sensor technologies offered in the Model 204 is recommended considering the many interferences, inaccuracies & maintenance requirements of the fluorescence and turbidity methods.

Calmbirthing - Fear of Labour study
November 11, 2015 / Suzanne Swan
Women who have a fear of childbirth spend longer in labour than women who have no such fear, suggests new research published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Between 5 and 20% of pregnant women have a fear of childbirth. Various factors have been associated with increased prevalence of fear of childbirth, including young maternal age, being a first-time mother, pre-existing psychological problems, lack of social support and a history of abuse or adverse obstetric events.
This Norwegian study looked at 2206 women with a singleton pregnancy who intended to deliver vaginally.
Fear of childbirth was assessed by the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (W-DEQ), a validated psychometric instrument designed to measure fear of childbirth. Women undertook the questionnaire at 32 weeks gestation and fear of childbirth was defined as a score of more than 85. Out of the total number, 165 (7.5%) women scored more than 85.
Labour duration was defined as 3-4 centimetres cervical dilatation and 3 uterine contractions per 10 minutes, until delivery of the child.
The average age of the participants at delivery was 30.9 years and 50.5% (1113 women) were first time mothers. Average labour duration was 8.22 hours for first-time mothers, and it was 4.91 hours for parous women.
The researchers found that women with a fear of childbirth spent one hour and 32 minutes longer in labour than women with no such fear. After adjustment for other factors associated with labour duration, such as parity, epidural analgesia, instrumental vaginal delivery and labour induction, the difference was still significant at 47 minutes.
Average labour duration was 8 hours for women with fear of childbirth compared to 6.46 hours (which equals 6 hours and 28 minutes) for women without fear.
The study also found that women with fear of childbirth more often delivered by instrumental vaginal delivery (17.0% versus 10.6%) or emergency caesarean delivery (10.9% versus 6.8%) as compared to women without fear of childbirth.
In total, 25.5% (42 women) of women with fear of childbirth and 44.4% (906 women) of women without fear of childbirth had a vaginal delivery without any obstetric interventions.
However, despite increased labour duration for women with a fear of childbirth, a large proportion of women achieved a vaginal delivery which was their intention compared to women with no fear (89.1% versus 93.2%).
Samantha Salvesen Adams, Health Services Research Centre, Akershus University Hospital, University of Oslo, Norway and co-author of the research said:
"Fear of childbirth seems to be an increasingly important issue in obstetric care. Our finding of longer duration of labour in women who fear childbirth is a new piece in the puzzle within this intersection between psychology and obstetrics.
"We found a link between fear of childbirth and longer duration of labour. Generally, longer labour duration increases the risk of instrumental vaginal delivery and emergency caesarean section. However, it is important to note that a large proportion of women with a fear of childbirth successfully had a vaginal delivery and therefore elective caesarean delivery should not be routinely recommended."

Revival's development has been indefinitely suspended
We're sorry to report this afternoon that indie grimdark sandbox Revival is being put on indefinite hold. Illfonic's Adam "Snipehunter" Maxwell has posted that formal work on the client is coming to a halt and sales of homes in-game will end, though he's also hinted that unpaid work will continue and said "it's not completely dead."
"So, what went wrong? I suppose the mistake, if one is to be called out, came in the thought that we could soldier through on what we have available. It goes something like this: When we first set out to build Revival, we had access to expertise and resources that aren't available today. Making up for their loss, be it as simple as lacking sufficient animators or as complicated as losing access to certain networking expertise, has been a costly affair, far more costly than we can honestly afford to bear. So, what does that mean? Is Revival completely dead?
Look, we've waited nearly 20 years to make Revival, and maybe we can wait a little longer, so no, it's not completely dead. It'll be a cold day in Animae's realm before I give up on Revival and most of us at IllFonic feel the same way, but however we determine to move forward with it, none of us feel comfortable playing some "business as usual" game while we work it out. We're going to have to figure some new way to make Revival happen, but we're not going to lie to you while we do and that's what this is about. So, is Revival dead? I really don't know, but whatever happens, it won't be moving ahead the way we'd planned its current form at IllFonic. We have some ideas on how we can move forward, but they aren't a true plan yet and they aren't a guarantee."
Founders who've already put money into the game aren't completely screwed.
"You can still access everything you've got access to today. Your renovation kits, your properties; all of it. We have no plans to turn them off or shut down access in the foreseeable future. We're also going to unlock visitation access to all of the properties you don't currently have access to, including the estates. You won't "own" them, but you will be able to see every home that you couldn't before. I know it's not much, but you made a lot of work possible and you should at least be able to see it, right? Next, you will receive a steam key for Nexuiz, one of IllFonic's first games and the first game Ombwah and I ever collaborated with IllFonic to make. Finally, you'll also receive a steam key for Moving Hazard, one of the new projects currently under development here, and presently in Early Access in steam."
Revival was best known for its implementation of radical game mechanics, including slavery and prostitution. Here's a quick look at some of our coverage of the game over the past year:

1776: "Major Wilkinson ~ This is a Glorious Day for our Country"
Christmas night passed and it became 26 December 1776. Lt. Monroe and the advance party securing the crossroad to Trenton kept watch – they watched night turn into dawn, daybreak and sunrise; then, under the adage better late than never, the left wing of the Continental Army appeared: the assault on Trenton was still on. His initial mission accomplished, Lt. Monroe quietly rejoined the Third Virginia; the man encountered at the crossroad – "Dr. Riker" – followed the rebels to Trenton.
There are numerous "General Washington" quotes used in Richard Hanser's 1976 book, The Glorious Hour of Lt. Monroe, and they give readers a sense of "George" the person on this night in his life. This wasn't just any mission for him or the army he commanded: it happened to be the mission – an "all-in" moment. Hanser's quotes show us the George before he became George Washington the statue. The countersign "Victory or Death" for example; a General Knox is hefty joke while boarding the boat to cross the Delaware; a growl at Major James Wilkinson for delivering the mail at the wrong time; a command to "use the bayonet" if the gunpowder is wet; and there's also the famous one as he's told the last Hessian units have surrendered: "Major Wilkinson, this is a glorious day for our Country."
Battles have fulcrums. Trenton pivoted on two Hessian cannon commanding King Street. The Third Virginia, under the command of Captain William Washington (a second-cousin of George's), charged and captured those cannon; moments later, Captain Washington is wounded and (suddenly) Lt. Monroe is the ranking officer of the regiment. Hanser quotes an older Monroe speaking in the dissociating third-person (154):
"The command devolved on Lieut. Monroe, who advanced in like manner at the head of the corps, and was shot down by a musket ball, which passed through his breast and shoulder. He was carried from the field …"
That's James Monroe, future fifth president of the United States.
Hanser continues (154-5):
Three of his soldiers carried him to a room in a nearby house that had been commandeered as a field hospital. His wound was a bad one. The musket ball, in tearing through the chest and shoulder, had severed an artery. Blood spurted from the wound.
"I would have bled to death," Monroe said afterwards, "if this doctor had not been near and promptly taken up the artery."
The doughty Dr. Riker had accompanied Lieutenant Monroe and his unit not only along the whole march through that tempestuous night but right into the thick of the street fighting. And his prediction at the start that he might be able to help "some poor fellow" in case of trouble came true: the poor fellow turned out to be Lieutenant Monroe himself. Had the ruptured artery not been "taken up," or surgically closed, at once, the future fifth president of the United States would have perished, at the age of eighteen, in a pool of blood on a slushy street in Trenton, New Jersey.
Monroe, barely conscious and in great pain, was treated in the same room where William Washington's wounds were also being tended. Dr. John Cochran, the future surgeon general of the Continental Army, was also in attendance in that primitive and improvised field hospital. Between the two dedicated doctors, Lieutenant Monroe's wound was dressed and treated with as much skill and professional knowledge as the medicine of the time and place could provide.
But the Hessian musket ball remained in his body for the rest of his life …
I have a new understanding and appreciation for the Monroe Doctrine – no European involvement in the Americas – given the fact the guy it's named after had a European musket ball in his shoulder.
Monroe talked of Trenton and Lt. Monroe more in terms of duty than glory. Maybe he'd accept the phrase 'the glory of duty' as a way to describe his actions; there was something special about him that day – even General Washington saw it. Hanser ends his book with Washington's opinion of our young lieutenant's character: "I take occasion to express the high opinion I have of his worth. The zeal he discovered by entering the service at an early period, the character he supported in his regiment, and the manner in which he distinguished himself at Trenton, where he received a wound, induced me to appoint him to captaincy … He has in every instance maintained the reputation of a brave, active, and sensible American."
James Monroe went on to serve the US in many ways; with that Hessian musket ball lodged in his shoulder though, it's easy to imagine a teenager, a doctor and a particular moment in life – were never really that far away.
"Victory or Death" ~ George Washington's 1776 Christmas Day Message
"Victory or Death" would have been in the minds of 18 year-old Lt. Monroe and the other soldiers crossing the Delaware River that night, 25 December 1776: the phrase was General Washington's countersign for the attack on the British camp in Trenton. The now (mostly) nameless soldiers crossing with Lt. Monroe were part of the advance party; they were to secure and hold a crossroad.
This wasn't the young lieutenant's first combat; he was in battle against British Regulars at Harlem Heights in September (a Continental victory) and then again during a raid on Tories (Americans loyal to the crown) at White Plains in October (another victory). Those victories had little impact on the British advance – that happened at Trenton.
The 2,400 soldiers preparing for battle that Christmas day were the best the American's had – or more accurately – about all they had. The British had run the Continentals across and out of New Jersey. Soldiers' enlistments were expiring January 1 and there wasn't enough of anything (like shoes, blankets and coats) and barely a revolution. In Trenton, protected by the river, was a British camp garrisoned by mercenaries: these were Hessians – professional soldiers the British crown 'rented' from German princes and deployed against Washington and the rebellion.
Richard Hanser's 1976 book, The Glorious Hour of Lt. Monroe, is a biographical tale of revolutionary moments; Lt. Monroe's big moment takes place on the 26th during the assault. What follows is an excerpt from Hanser's book (p. 132-3); it's in the first-person and it's the voice of Lt. Monroe (50 years older) writing about that night and an encounter he had guarding the crossroad:
"After crossing the river I was sent with my command [a piece of artillery] to the intersection of Pennytown [now Pennington] and Maiden Head [now Lawrenceville] roads, with strict orders to let no one pass until I was ordered forward. Whilst occupying the position, the resident of a dwelling some distance up a lane had his attention directed to some unusual commotion by the barking of dogs. He came out in the dark to learn the cause, and encountered my command, and supposing we were from the British camp ordered us off.
"He was violent and determined in his manner, and very profane, and wanted to know what we were doing there on such a stormy night. I advised him to go to his home and be quiet, or I would arrest him. When he discovered that we were American soldiers, he insisted that we should go to his house and not stay out in the storm, and he would give us something to eat. I told him my orders were strict and we could not leave. When he returned to the house, he brought us some victuals.
"He said to me, 'I know something is to be done, and I am going with you. I am a doctor, and I may help some poor fellow.' When orders came for us to hasten on to Trenton, the doctor went with us."
Let's pause here for tomorrow's post ~ "Major Wilkinson, this is a glorious day for our Country."
Merry Christmas All ~ Peace-up!

Russian making big wing in ground effect plane for Arctic and Pacific bases
The Russian military is developing a wing in ground effect a super-heavy transport- ekranoplan is developed, capable of landing not only on water, as its predecessors, but also on land. By its dimensions, the car will be comparable to the famous "Caspian Monster" in Soviet times. The device is planned to be used in the Arctic and the Pacific for rescue operations and delivery of cargo to remote bases.
The sea skimming plane will be much faster than ships and boats and fly below most radar tracking and are immune to mines and torpedoes.
As the Izvestia was told in the Navy's commander-in-chief, the state program of armaments for 2018-2025 includes works on the development of a prototype 600-ton warfighter capable of solving various problems in the military's interests. The possibility of using such machines for search and rescue operations in the Arctic (along the Northern Sea Route), as well as for supplying remote garrisons, is considered. The development of the ekranoplan is carried out by JSC "Central Design Bureau for SEC of. R.E. Alekseyev ".
In this company Izvestia was told that it was a question of creating a basic platform under the working title "Rescuer". The weight of the aircraft will be about 600 tons at a length of 93 meters and the span of the wing 71 meters. The decision in favor of a large-sized ekranoplan was adopted because such vehicles can fly at sea waves of 5-6 points.
The Caspian Sea Monster was an experimental soviet ground effect vehicle built in 1966 and flown until 1980.
Caspian Sea Plane General characteristics
Length: 92.00 m (301 ft 10 in)
Wingspan: 37.60 m (123 ft 4 in)
Tail stabilizer span: 37 m (121 ft 5 in)
Height: 21.80 m (71 ft 6 in)
Wing area: 662.50 m2 (7,131.1 sq ft)
Empty weight: 240,000 kg (529,109 lb)
Max takeoff weight: 544,000 kg (1,199,315 lb)
Powerplant: 10 × Dobrynin VD-7 turbojet, 127.53 kN (28,670 lbf) thrust each
Caspian Sea Plane Performance
Maximum speed: 500 km/h (311 mph; 270 kn)
Cruise speed: 430 km/h (267 mph; 232 kn)
Range: 1,500 km (932 mi; 810 nmi)
Ground effect altitude: 4–14 m (13 ft 1 in–45 ft 11 in)
Maximum sea state: 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in)
Russia's Alekseyev Design Bureau is designing the prototype 600-ton ekranoplan for supplying bases across the Arctic and Pacific oceans. The vehicle, tentatively named "Rescuer," will be 305 feet long with a wingspan of 232 feet. It will have a top speed of 341 miles an hour and be able to transport up to 500 people at a time.
Alekseyev is responsible for several GEVs built by the Soviet Union, including the Lun and Orlenok GEVs. The 400 ton Lun, with six canard-mounted engines and a half-dozen anti-ship missile launchers along its spine, was called the Caspian Sea Monster by Western intelligence. The 150 ton Orlenok was operated by the Soviet Navy and could carry 150 personnel.

Report on Fuego (Guatemala) — 11 January-17 January 2012
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 11 January-17 January 2012
Global Volcanism Program, 2012. Report on Fuego (Guatemala). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 11 January-17 January 2012. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Volcano Profile | Weekly Report (11 January-17 January 2012)
14.473°N, 90.88°W; summit elev. 3763 m
INSIVUMEH reported that during 11-13 and on 16 January explosions from Fuego generated ash plumes that rose 400-1,000 m above the crater; the plumes drifted 10-15 km in multiple directions. Explosions generated shock waves and rumbling sounds that were detected to the SW, and windows and roofs vibrated in nearby villages. Avalanches traveled SW into the Ceniza drainage and on the W, S, and SW flanks. At night on 13 and 16 January incandescence emanated from the crater.
Geologic Background. Volcán Fuego, one of Central America's most active volcanoes, is one of three large stratovolcanoes overlooking Guatemala's former capital, Antigua. The scarp of an older edifice, Meseta, lies between 3763-m-high Fuego and its twin volcano to the north, Acatenango. Construction of Meseta dates back to about 230,000 years and continued until the late Pleistocene or early Holocene. Collapse of Meseta may have produced the massive Escuintla debris-avalanche deposit, which extends about 50 km onto the Pacific coastal plain. Growth of the modern Fuego volcano followed, continuing the southward migration of volcanism that began at Acatenango. In contrast to the mostly andesitic Acatenango, eruptions at Fuego have become more mafic with time, and most historical activity has produced basaltic rocks. Frequent vigorous historical eruptions have been recorded since the onset of the Spanish era in 1524, and have produced major ashfalls, along with occasional pyroclastic flows and lava flows.

But I was raised by drunken bikers!
I think you are rude and crass!� Your language likens that of a drunken biker.� I NEVER would have looked at your site if it hadn't been sent by a very good friend.� I plan to ask her if she found it amusing or entertaining.� I found it to be neither.� You are wasting your time and our space on the internet.
You might try finding a more creative, useful hobby.
Well, okay. Maybe I'll take up cross-stitch.


For some reason I can't explain, I decided to get all Pinterest-y with the boys' valentines. It's sheer lunacy, in my opinion, to suddenly decide a mere 7 days away from Valentine's Day to whip up handmade valentines instead of just running down to Target and snatching up a couple boxes of the nearest cardboard Star Wars cards complete with mini light sabers. Really, that would have been the smart thing to do.
I've never claimed to be the brightest crayon in the box.
So, away to Target we went. NOT to pick up the pre-made boxes of valentines, but instead to find inspiration for ones I could make. As my bad luck would have it, my store was already pretty picked over in the valentines section and a lot of the little favors and stickers and stuff were gone. Except for a whole bunch of pirate erasers. Pirates just weren't tripping my trigger though.
Individually wrapped stretchy frogs? SOLD, sister. I bought two bags of these little guys because I had about 36 valentines to make and it never hurts for a Boy Mom to have a few extra stretchy frogs around the house. You know, for emergencies.
Basically what I did was to take inspiration from two other valentines I found online and merge them into one. I loved the mason jar look from Jessica's Love Bug valentines and I also liked these Froggy Valentines, but the template from Jessica's were already worded specifically for bugs and the froggy ones were cut from a Silhouette machine. Yeah, I don't have one of those.
This image is sized to fit on a 4x6 canvas, so I put three of them on a 8.5x11 paper for for efficient printing. If you would like to have this printing sheet as a FREE DOWNLOAD, I have made it available for your use HERE. Just print on some white cardstock, cut 'em out and the majority of the work is done already.
If you want to get a little fancy, grab some glitter and add a little sparkle to the mason jar lid. This tip comes directly from this post - "Tips for Making Love Bug Valentines" from The Mom Creative.
I pulled this little tube of glitter out of my crafting stash and enlisted some slave labor enthusiastic help from my four year old. Of course, he was actually helping me make his brother's valentines, but that didn't seem to matter that much to him. Just as Jessica suggested in her post, I put a little line of the glitter along the lid of the mason jar and then just let Micah handle the smearing it around.
After the glitter had dried, I dumped out all the little stretchy frogs and just straightened them a bit in their little froggy bags. (Ewwww....."froggy bags." That sounds gross.) Then it was just a matter of stapling them onto the mason jar.
When all was said and done, I had a pile of really cool valentines for my Kindergartener to address and sign when he gets home from school. I'm going to have him write the name of the recipient on the front under the frog and then sign his name on the back.
I think he's really going to like them!
Thanks again to Jessica and to this unknown Flickr user for the inspiration for creating these! I hope you find them useful and feel free to let me know in the comments if you decide to give 'em a whirl. I'd love to hear about it!

MOC: Madventures
Hello readers, here I am again. Sorry for lack of inactivity, the reasons remain the same - studies and a modular building project slowly but steady getting done. There's still awful lot of back walls to do, and few roofs, and one facade... but I'm getting there.
Now this is a character build, or perhaps an actual person build. 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Finland, and as the only (and best) Finnish LUG Palikkatakomo is hosting a Suomi 100 contest with two categories, An Important Finn and Moment from the History or Mythology. This is entry for the former - Madventures, AKA Riku Rantala and Tuomas "Tunna" Milonoff, two traveller-journalists known from several TV-series and books. The original Madventures show is about travelling, mostly in the third world, with just them two guys and some filming equipment. The first two series (2002 and 2005) were made in Finnish while the third (2008) was made in English for international audiences. Madventures is the most widely broadcasted Finnish TV program with 200 countries or territories. They are also awarded with several awards, including National Award of Information Distribution (or something like that anyway).
But above all they're both very entertaining and thought-provoking, diving deeper into the global wonders and issues. I think that qualifies for An Important Finn.
Build-wise this was just another character build, though not without challenges. I built them partly simultaneously, first making some drafts of both heads, them building mots of Riku (left on the photos) and then rest of Tunna (whose head got redesigned few times). Riku was somewhat easier: His style, with distinct beard, stays pretty much same through the series, and as Tunna spends more time behind the camera, there was less reference material of him. Riku's clothes are based on Indochina episode (Bad quality photo, I know), with red bandana, blue utility vest and trekking shoes. Sleeveless undershirt leaves the tattoos, here achieved with couple of tan printed round 2x2 tiles; the PotC one with stylish world map work pretty well, I think.
Tunna's clothes are more casual, with dark green T-shirt that cunningly evaded me from using valuable pieces for tan shoulder joints; the trousers and shoes are similar to Riku's. Tunna's head was challenging, partly due to limits of the colour (dark tan) and lack of coherence of the man himself. After all, they're on the road for months and hair and facial hair grows all the time. Now the moustache might be a bit too bushy, looking like 3/4 of 80's Black Sabbath, but it was the best alternative. I also built a camera for him, based on what I believe are promotional photos of season three.
These are my first character builds based on real people (not including fictional characters portrayed by real actors). Time will tell how they'll do in the contest.
PS. Photographed another creation with this, so it shouldn't be so long gap before the next post. And I'm still having loads of WIPs around!
Labels: Real People
MOC: Robin
No, not the Boy Wonder. Nor the Sherwood vigilante. Nor the small bird. Nor the Sir Not-as-brave-as-Lancelot. This Robin is from Fire Emblem series (which I haven't played, but I'd like to if I I had consoles) and Super Smash Bros. 4, where she (or he, but she on this occasion) is rather fun character to play due interesting Tome and Levin Sword mechanics. So, this creation is rather similar to Samus, Dedede and Zero Suit Samus. SSB is cool.
Building Robin began with the robes. She has rather sensible garments for a video game heroine. I began with the buttoning, using pearl gold cheese slopes for triangular patterns; the first try was too think and heavy, so I ditched a purple line there should be and made it a bit simpler. Fence pieces are used as golden lining. A blade piece is used on the hem for detail. They should go all around the hem, but you can't have everything: They would have been very hard to connect to the TECHNIC panels used at the back, and I only had two!
Thunder!
Under her robe Robin has white shirt, some sort of belt-like garment with couple of buckles and some black-gold leather armoring. The legs use lot of CCBS parts that are sturdy but give some dynamic posability. Black lines of the white trousers are built using T-bars, lightsaber hilts and viking horns. The feet are somewhat unstable, as there are both ball joints and T-bar joints: the T-bar is connected to the underside of the smallest CCBS armor piece working as an ankle boot. The arms are quite basic stuff - CCBS on the upper arms, formula 1 tires to fill them, 3x3x3 cones (lovely pieces) on the lower arms and a big hubs for golden wristbands.
The head was hard. I tried several different designs. Stylished Nausicaä-style head was too small and made the shoulders look too broad and manly, and Batwing-eye-style looked too big. I finally settles with a design using minifig arms as eyes, similar to Red Lady of the Stream. It eventually grew on me, and I quite like it. Longer hair sets Robin apart from her male counterpart, otherwise they're quite identical.
Archfire!
Robin also has some accessories. Most importantly she has her Levin Sword, which is weird zig-zag-blade impossible to fit to a scabbard; but it's a magick sword that breaks down after few uses, after all. Building it wasn't that easy, and it isn't perfect (or symmetrical), but captures the overall look alrighty in my opinion. She also has two of her Tomes, Archfire and Thunder.
So, this was the first MOC and post of 2017. Last year I wasn't as active as before, and I can't promise to post as much stuff this year than in 2015 neither. But I have few tricks up in my sleeves: I've been building modulars for an exhibit beginning next month in Vapriikki, the most important museum in Tampere and one of the biggest museums in Finland. There's still plenty of things to build, but I'm progressing, and I naturally also have lots of other WIPs and ideas.
Time to tip the scales!

Leslie Benzies, one of the driving forces behind GTA, has left Rockstar
By Andy Chalk 12 January 2016
Rockstar North President Leslie Benzies, a producer on every Grand Theft Auto game since GTA 3 as well as Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, and Max Payne 3, has left the studio. His departure was confirmed today in a statement sent to Kotaku, in which Rockstar said Benzies had been on an extended sabbatical and elected not to return.
"We can confirm that Leslie Benzies went on sabbatical on September 1, 2014 and has decided not to return to work for the company. We are very grateful for Leslie's contributions to Rockstar over the last 15 years as we worked together to make some amazing games," the statement says. "Leslie helped us build an incredible team that will continue to create great experiences for our fans. Leslie will always be a friend to the company and of course we are going to miss him but we wish him the absolute best for the future."
Benzies joined the studio in 1998, when it was still known as DMA Design, and worked as the lead programmer on the Nintendo 64/PlayStation release Space Station Silicon Valley. His name may not be as immediately recognizable as those of founders Sam and Dan Houser, but he was instrumental in the creation of Grand Theft Auto 3, the game that launched the series as we now know it, and for seeing it grow into its subsequent world-beating success as the president of Rockstar North. In 2005, he and Sam Houser were awarded a BAFTA Special Award for Games for their contribution to the videogame industry; in 2014, he, along with Dan and Sam Houser, were inducted in the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.
According to the Kotaku report, Rockstar North is now headed up by Aaron Garbut and Rob Nelson, who most recently shared art direction duties on Grand Theft Auto V.

Ternow AI creates precise and reliable maps from remote sensing data using artificial intelligence
TrueHD Images
We have developed technology to improve the native resolution of satellite images by bridging the gap between satellite and aerial imagery. The best commercially available native resolution for optical satellite imagery is currently 30 cm. We offer improved high-quality 15 cm satellite imagery as TrueHD images for commercial purposes with the best quality in the market.
Global cm-level GCPs
We have created a revolutionary sensor fusion technology to fuse Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) satellite imagery with optical satellite imagery in a novel approach. Thanks to this system, we measure 3D Ground Control Points (GCP) with the cm-level absolute accuracy around the globe while staying in our office. Remote GCP measurement is also an internal component of AeroSat Vector and HD maps.
AeroSat Vector Maps
We create Vector Maps by solely using remote sensing data. The procession of the data with our proprietary algorithms challenges the status quo. Our AeroSat Vector Maps only require a fraction of the time and effort needed to generate comparable results.
AeroSat Hybrid Maps
We have built technology to create instant situational awareness over a large region, w. Hybrid maps contain cm-level precision global coordinates of the static and dynamic traffic and infrastructure elements with unprecedented accuracy and speed, including but not limited to the different types of vehicles, ships, aircraft, construction sites, bridges, airport runways, dams, bicycles, and so on.
AeroSat HD Maps
We help to pave the way for one of the biggest trends in the automotive industry: Autonomous Driving (AD). After years of research, we can build High-Definition (HD) Maps without the need to take pictures from the ground with global cm-level absolute and relative geolocalization accuracy using remote sensing data. Our 3D AeroSat HD Maps are based on remote sensing data, built with artificial intelligence, and provided in the OpenDRIVE® format.
We are about to launch

Let's dive into the story of this mysterious car!
Down below is somewhat rare in the auto world, a car with squinting eyes. In case you don't know about it yet, the set of front lights are generally called the car's "eyes", and BMW has been famous for creating intriguing pairs of eyes, sometimes the angel eyes and others the devil's eyes.
Normally, car manufacturers would make their set of front lights bigger, thus making it more attractive and impressive. The car's blueprint was revealed on the same day the BMW-M1 was created, as a symbolic act.
In the end, the prototype did not come into reality but it did clear ways for another model, which has been a hit in the car market, the BMW i8. Innovative as it may be, the BMW M1 Hommage still inherits some of the features from its predecessors, such as the position of the badge and also the front end.
A representative from the company, the director of the design department, Adrian Hooydonk commented that it is the embodiment of the BMW's creative spirit and its inspirational presence has since then continued to fuel the productivity and creativity of the whole team as well as the company. And they do so not by neglecting or dismissing the past altogether, but rather learn from it and collect what is essential and remarkable of BMW. That's why they planned to reveal the Hommage version of the M1 to the general public on the day the first ever BMW M1 was created.
The Hommage version of the BMW m1 was more than just a mere creation that's filled with innovative ideas. It represents the spirit of BMW. Their creation is always modern and up-to-date but never without a "touch of the past". Traditional values are never taken lightly in BMW. Their philosophy speaks to their customers through their each and every creation. Had they not included details of the old models from the past into the new ones, customers would have felt distant and strange. What BMW wants for their customers is that when they look at a new creation, this thought comes to their mind "So this is modern and all, but it's still the BMW I know". Though the model never came true and only stopped at the prototype stage, its influence over BMW's spirits lasts for other decades.
