A Battery Powered Future is Closer than we Think

Get set for the powerhouse combination of battery storage and photovoltaic cells to transform our homes, businesses and communities.
A report from the Climate Council, Powerful Potential, has found the potent double act could be the cheapest way to source electricity within just three years.
With battery storage capacity expected to grow 50-fold within a decade, the Climate Council says going completely "off-grid" could be cost-competitive as early as 2018. In fact, Australia could emerge as the world's leading spot for home battery storage, with the market predicted to reach $24 billion.
Rechargeable batteries already power our smartphones, laptops and toothbrushes, but recent advances in lithium-ion battery technology has seen rapid reductions in costs, making them more affordable to consumers than ever before.
When Tesla's Powerwall lithium-ion battery arrived on Australia's shores in January, it changed the renewable energy game forever. Each Powerwall, with its seven kilowatt/hour lithium-ion battery system, stores electricity generated from rooftop solar panels. With the sleek system available in a number of colours, some are saying Tesla's design will do for batteries what Apple did for smartphones.
Tesla's offering is not the only battery storage product on the market, and a growing number of storage systems that apply different technologies and battery chemistries are available.
Analysis of the various battery options for the telecommunications sector, for example, has found that lead crystal batteries offer similar advantages to that of lithium ion batteries, but also the best value proposition in terms of lowest cost per kilowatt/hour. Melbourne-based Hybrid Aus uses lead crystal battery technology in its all-in-one 8.2-kilowatt hybrid battery storage system aimed at the residential sector.
At the same time, the costs of solar panels have dropped dramatically, with the Climate Council estimating a massive 75 per cent decrease in prices over the past five years.
And so, enter the vanguards keen to capitalise on this emerging market.
In Perth, for example, the first trial of large-scale battery storage for households is underway. The $6.7 million pilot project, which is being funded by the state and federal governments, is being undertaken at Lend Lease's Alkimos Beach development in Perth.
Solar panels are mandatory on the roofs of each household within the nation's first 6 Star Green Star – Communities-rated development. A 1.1-megawatt lithium battery, housed in a shipping container, will enable households to store excess power from their solar panels during the day and withdraw it at night.
Reposit, a start-up in the ACT, has developed software to allow people who store their power to trade directly on the wholesale market. In this model, everybody can have a mini power station in their backyards.
Another start-up, Local Volts, has developed a system to enable consumers to trade their surplus energy directly with other households, small businesses and community groups in their grid. The company's founder, Jitendra Tomar, says anything from a home to a high school to a tennis club can "become an energy farmer."
CSIRO thinks half of all Australia's electricity will be generated on site – in homes, businesses and within communities – within a few decades. This has massive implications for the traditional players in the power space.
CitiPower and Powercor, which owns more than half of Victoria's poles and wires, is in the process of installing 18 test sites for solar battery storage as part of a three-year trial, while AGL, which owns Victoria's biggest brown coal power station, is developing its own battery. AGL has also begun spruiking solar panels without upfront fees.
While the battery revolution will enable consumers to take charge of their energy storage, it is not without challenges.
Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, low-maintenance and long-living, but they also pose some environmental and safety risks. Made from a highly-reactive substance, lithium batteries can overheat and burst into flames – a tendency which makes them hazardous in severe heat. What this means for bushfire prone regions remains to be seen.
Lithium mining can also be harmful to the environment. Lithium is found in brines underneath vast salt flats in places like Chile, Argentina, China, Bolivia, Tibet, Mexico, and California and Nevada in the United States. While evaporating the water on the salt flats to extract the lithium is non-toxic, pumping the brines out from under the salt flats can lower the water table permanently, affecting access to water, agriculture and tourism.
Some investors are calling lithium the "new oil," and dangers from irreparable damage to our water resources distinct possibility. However, there may also be opportunities for developing nations to boost their economies through the supply and manufacture of this essential ingredient. Managing accelerated demand for this resource must be considered alongside recycling products at their end of life.
There's also the equity issue to consider. Generous feed-in tariffs that governments used to kick-start the rollout of photovoltaic systems around the country resulted in households which couldn't afford to purchase solar panels subsidising those who could. With the combination of battery technology and solar panels costing tens of thousands of dollars, it's still out of reach for many Australians. Analysts are hoping a market-driven approach to battery storage uptake won't see a repeat of this.
Australia's sunny days, high energy costs and consumers looking to "do their bit" for climate change represent a triumvirate of drivers that will see us embrace battery technology not tomorrow, but today. Australia's renewable energy technology future has arrived.

Q: Kotlin Coroutine not waiting for the network result to return I am trying to get some data from the server in Kotlin, upon which I wish to do some further process, like displaying it to the user. But the execution is not waiting/ blocking for the result to return and is carrying on with the execution.
Here is the code:
class UserLand : AppCompatActivity() {

class SyncViewModel(): ViewModel() {
        suspend fun startingSync(accesstoken: String): String {
            var response = ""
            viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
                val reqParam = "token=$accesstoken"
                val mURL = URL("<-- server end point here -->")

                with(mURL.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection) {
                    // optional default is GET
                    requestMethod = "POST"

                    val wr = OutputStreamWriter(outputStream);
                    wr.write(reqParam);
                    wr.flush();

                    println("2 : $url")
                    println("3 : $responseCode")

                    BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(inputStream)).use {

                        var inputLine = it.readLine()
                        while (inputLine != null) {
                            response += inputLine
                            inputLine = it.readLine()
                        }
                        Log.d("4: ","Response : $response")
                    }
                }
            }
            Log.d("5", response)
            return response
        }
    }

 fun syncWithServer(view: View) {
        val accesstoken = "johndoe"
        var response = ""
        if (accesstoken != null) {
            Log.d("----->", "1")
            runBlocking {
                response = SyncViewModel().startingSync(accesstoken)
                Log.d("----->", "6")
            }
        }
        //
        Log.d("Final result: 7:---------> ", response)

    }

 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_snyc_packages_with_server)
    }
}

I'm calling syncWithServer() from a button click on the screen. After this, the syncWithServer() will start a network request on a separate thread in the function startingSync(). Now  the order of execution of the logs that I am aiming for is as follows:
1->2->3->4->5->6->7 (according to the logs and print messages). Finally, at log(7), I will get the response from the server which I want to process further. But the actual execution comes out to be as follows:
1->6->2->3->4. Note that 5 and 7 are not logged in android logcats. I believe that the execution thread is not waiting for the network request result to return and hence the ideal steps of execution are not being achieved.
I am just starting out with co-routines in kotlin. I know I am missing something out but what is it exactly?

A: viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) in your code create parallel work, you have 2 variants to fix it :
1 - instead of viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) use withContenxt(Dispatchers.IO) that will only change the dispathers
2 - instead of viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) use viewModelScope.async(Dispatchers.IO) and wait it result by calling the .await() end of this block

Not every customer that comes through the door will fall in love with your brand. Why? Because it is impossible to be everyone's cup of tea, but as a business it is your job to do everything possible to make your brand relatable and likable to your demographic. So today we are going to give you a quick guide to achieving that goal.
One of the most appealing aspects of a brand is when it has a great personality. I know.. it is strange to think that a brand can have personality but it can.
How do you determine your personality? That's an easy one. Look at your demographic/buyer persona to determine who you are speaking to than take it a step further and note the way your employees interact with customers along with the atmosphere your business has created. This will determine the foundation of your brand's personality. For example, if you are a professional divorce law firm a casual quirky persona may not really resonate with your clients who are having a rough time. By knowing exactly who it is you are speaking to than creating that personality will come naturally.
Once your brand is ready to take to the dance floor creating cool content will get you noticed. There is an abundance of content opportunities your business can publish. Do you have great product photography? Or fun tutorials for customers? These are the types of content you want to spruce up and put out.
What makes it cool? Knowing your demographic again will be your best starting point. Keep in mind what content they like to see. For example, if you are a surf shop down at Jacksonville Beach it might be a good idea to showcase local surfers on your Instagram feed or even do a quick video on beginner surf tips to get those who aren't as dialed into the surf style a part of the action.
If you want to be well liked by your customers, staying consistent in your marketing, customer service and product & services will be the key. As a customer we like consistency. If you have a meal at a restaurant one week and love it than get it a few weeks later and it is hardly recognizable than the chances of purchasing that meal again gets slimmer.
So how do you stay consistent across the board? By paying attention. Getting customer feedback is a great tool to help you keep your brand on the path of consistency. Really hone in on what they like about your brand and then work on keep those aspects on point. It is definitely okay to try something new, but keep in mind the foundations that you've created and your customers love. If you do that than you my friend will be solid.
Now you have the key tools to create a really likable brand that is consistent, cool and ready to party with customers. Cheers!

This is a list of cases reported in volume 132 of United States Reports, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1889 and 1890.

Justices of the Supreme Court at the time of volume 132 U.S.

The Supreme Court is established by Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which says: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court . . .". The size of the Court is not specified; the Constitution leaves it to Congress to set the number of justices. Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 Congress originally fixed the number of justices at six (one chief justice and five associate justices). Since 1789 Congress has varied the size of the Court from six to seven, nine, ten, and back to nine justices (always including one chief justice).

When the cases in volume 132 U.S. were decided the Court comprised the following nine members:

Notable Case in 132 U.S.

Smith v. Bolles
Smith v. Bolles,      132 U.S. 125 (1889), was an action to recover out-of-pocket damages for alleged fraudulent representations in the sale of shares of mining stock. The case is important in contract law, as to legal remedies and compensating expectancies. The Supreme Court held that the measure of damages is not the difference between the contract price and the fair market value if the property had been properly represented, but rather what the plaintiff had lost by being deceived into making the purchase.

Citation style

Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 the federal court structure at the time comprised District Courts, which had general trial jurisdiction; Circuit Courts, which had mixed trial and appellate (from the US District Courts) jurisdiction; and the United States Supreme Court, which had appellate jurisdiction over the federal District and Circuit courts—and for certain issues over state courts. The Supreme Court also had limited original jurisdiction (i.e., in which cases could be filed directly with the Supreme Court without first having been heard by a lower federal or state court). There were one or more federal District Courts and/or Circuit Courts in each state, territory, or other geographical region.

Bluebook citation style is used for case names, citations, and jurisdictions.
 "C.C.D." = United States Circuit Court for the District of . . .
 e.g.,"C.C.D.N.J." = United States Circuit Court for the District of New Jersey
 "D." = United States District Court for the District of . . .
 e.g.,"D. Mass." = United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
 "E." = Eastern; "M." = Middle; "N." = Northern; "S." = Southern; "W." = Western
 e.g.,"C.C.S.D.N.Y." = United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York
 e.g.,"M.D. Ala." = United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama
 "Ct. Cl." = United States Court of Claims
 The abbreviation of a state's name alone indicates the highest appellate court in that state's judiciary at the time.
 e.g.,"Pa." = Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
 e.g.,"Me." = Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

About adrienne: adrienne maree is a doula, writer, facilitator and artist living in detroit, mi. adriennemaree@gmail.com.
my sister started having babies in natural ways and the beauty and power of it blew my mind. at the same time folks were asking me to doula for them. i thought as a non-parent i couldn't do it. then i was the first responder to a woman attacked behind my home and in sitting with her til the ambulance came it clicked for me: being with people through these moments of transition simply requires being deeply present to what is, and expanding their capacity to be present. so i apprenticed with an experienced doula and have been doing doula work ever since.
i believe in what humans can do, in the power of our bodies and our communities to create and sustain life. too many of the institutional processes around reproduction and parenting are disempowering, unsacred, not aligned with the miraculous gift we have. so i see part of my work as a way to intervene in social systems that are losing humanity, and reclaim humanity one person at a time.
i believe everyone (all economic backgrounds, gender identities, abilities, races, everyone) going through any of the processes related to reproduction and parenting – trying to get pregnant, adopting, abortion, giving birth, unintended pregnancy loss, post-partum time, etc – should have support and access to determining how to go through the process with health, dignity and – where appropriate – joy.
so far, it's the opportunity to witness transformation. i get to be close to folks at one of the most important moments of their lives, and reflect all the strength i see in them – it's healing for me.
that the default would be natural births at home. that hospitals, c-sections, and medical interventions would be seen as rare aspects of births only turned to for emergencies.

A novel treatment combination involving radiofrequency enhances the sensitivity of detecting cancer cells in the liver, according to a recent study published in the journal Cancer. Enhanced detection allows for the destruction of cancer cells that may be responsible for cancer recurrences.
The liver is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for over 500 functions, including the secretion of glucose, proteins, vitamins and fats, the production of bile, the processing of hemoglobin and detoxification of numerous substances. Primary liver cancer, sometimes called hepatocellular carcinoma, starts in the cells of the liver and can spread, through blood or lymph vessels, to different parts of the body. The treatment of liver cancer depends on the size, and specific stage, or extent, of cancer.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a technique that is currently being refined to produce optimal outcomes for the treatment of liver cancer. Percutaneous RFA entails the use of high-energy radio waves that can be administered through the skin by inserting a probe that is about the size of a needle into the tumor(s) in the liver. The surgeon uses an imaging scan, such as an ultrasound or a computerized tomography (CT) scan, to guide the probe to the correct locations in the liver. The high-energy radio waves heat the cancer cells until they become coagulated and destroyed. Often, small undetectable masses of cancer cells surround the large tumor(s) and can hinder the achievement of a cure. These undetectable cancer cells are left untreated and are responsible for cancer recurrences.
In response to this, researchers from Japan recently devised a new treatment combination involving RFA that allows for easier detection and eradication of small masses of cancer cells existing outside the larger tumor(s). The procedure involves the injection of a dye into the main artery of the liver prior to a CT scan (angio-CT). The dye enhances the contrast on CT scans, allowing physicians to visualize the small masses of cancer cells. Angio-CT is performed prior to RFA and immediately following RFA so that real-time results may be evaluated. Surgeons are able to continue RFA if the angio-CT reveals cancer cells that have not been destroyed by the initial RFA treatment.
These researchers recently conducted a clinical trial evaluating angio-CT and RFA in 10 patients with liver cancer. Eight of the 10 patients were successfully treated with only one RFA session. Two patients underwent repeat procedures. Ten months following treatment, only one patient had a local recurrence. An additional component that was evaluated in this trial involved the occlusion of the main artery to the liver with a small balloon prior to RFA (BoRFA). BoRFA allows for greater exposure of cancer cells to RFA as the blood volume is diminished. In this clinical trial, the 4 patients receiving BoRFA had a larger area of ablation per application compared with standard RFA. All patients in this trial tolerated treatment very well with a short recovery period.
These results are promising for the treatment of liver cancer and warrant additional clinical trials in order to further define the clinical role of angio-CT RFA. Patients with liver cancer may wish to speak with their physician about the risks and benefits of participating in a clinical trial evaluating this procedure or other promising treatments.

For many of us old enough to remember the world before the September 11 attacks, there is a tendency to view life in a before-and-after context. Even then, as the single most consequential date in contemporary American — and in terms of political impact, perhaps the modern world's — history, there is no single way to measure the changes it wrought. Those murdered in the attacks (2,996, many of them first responders) provide one objective view of the day's horror, as do those killed by exposure-related illnesses after the fact (1,300 and counting, with tens of thousands more alive but ill). Less quantifiable, the average American's sense of domestic safety all but dematerialized in the space of one fall morning; initial support of the military campaign in Afghanistan (and, to a lesser degree, Iraq) reflected an unusual homogeneity of public opinion, borne almost unilaterally from the horrendous events of the day.
Then there are the billions of dollars spent developing and deploying new terror-fighting tools, techniques, and agencies, all of which reflect the public's altered need for governance and leadership's ongoing attempt to meet it. In many ways, this is the single most telling sign of public memory pertaining to 9/11. If the 2001 attacks were a gut-punch to an unaware nation, our new, visceral understanding of terror's ways and means would only serve to magnify the demoralizing effects of a second attack.
This line of thinking leads to several pressing questions. Is the U.S. better prepared to ward off a large-scale terror event than it was in 2001? Moreover, if an attack manages to bypass our reinforced prevention measures, do responders at the federal, state, and local levels have the tools and training to substantially mitigate its effects? As with most matters of governance, opinions are divisive and objective answers are few — but recent achievements by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies, along with extremely capable local response activity in the wake of post-9/11 terror attacks, suggest our nation is more capable now than ever.
The DHS, now the third-largest Cabinet department, initially came from the merger of some 22 federal agencies and departments. Numerous others, including the TSA and (former) Immigration and Naturalization Service, fell under its command in years following. The speed with which these entities merged — a tremendous task for any group of organizations, let alone one with the procedural and bureaucratic inertia of the Federal Government — reflected a critical need for stronger information sharing. As the 9/11 Commission report would reaffirm some years later, a lack of interagency communication almost certainly played a role in the government's lack of preventative action, suggesting critical data had to leap too many silo walls to fall into the right hands.
The NYC subway bombing plot presents telltale signs of the challenges all agencies face when attempting to foil or respond to present-day terror plots. Where the 9/11 attacks were the result of evil men having their grandiose — and in most circumstances, unrealistic — plans defy the odds, even the deadliest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since then share certain commonalities. Comparatively speaking, attacks have been smaller in scale and required far less effort, knowledge, or technical skill than a plot to fly hijacked aircraft into buildings.
Terrorism is essentially an act of symbolism, and even an attack with a small death count can send a ripple of panic throughout the nation. Instead of downplaying their severity, the point is to illustrate the evolution of terror tactics in the post-9/11 world: the Federal Government "went big," so to speak, leaving individuals and group-associated terrorists to "go small" with their plots in response.
This tactical pivot on the part of terrorists again reinforces the need for smart information sharing, whereby relevant data can trickle up, down, or laterally as needed. So-called "see something, say something" initiatives are also of critical importance in this era of small-scale terror. Among other notable examples, watchful citizens stopped a "crude" Times Square bombing attempt and prevented a radicalized Army private from enacting perceived revenge against his fellow soldiers simply by notifying police of suspicious activity.
While some onlookers have criticized it as an (increasingly rare) example of failed federal information-sharing, local and state response to the Boston bombing plot upholds this idea and illustrates, in great detail, the inestimable value of preparation and planning at the community level. In one New Yorker piece — which includes the evocative line "we're not innocents anymore" with regard to terror attacks — the author spells out the intense preparedness training that medical and response professionals underwent. Without their steady, process-bound approach, local responders likely would have faced an even higher death and injury toll.
This sort of training and knowledge will only grow more valuable as terror plots continue to threaten Western society. To succeed with such plots requires a certain kind of criminal cunning — the exact sort of opportunistic murderers who prey upon weak points. If the Federal Government were to bend to budget-citing critics and close all fusion centers but those in high-risk areas, for instance, it reasons that radicalized individuals would choose to target places where information sharing suddenly became weaker. In turn, this could quite literally make local preparation and readiness the difference between life and death.
Terrorism is a shifting, asymmetrical problem that mirrors the complex geopolitical climate we live in. Where battles of old were fought against marked enemies in designated areas, terrorists are there to inflict damage by any means necessary, via any target available. Although no manner of predictive or tactical response can fully guarantee against the threat of an attack, combining these skills with effective information sharing, strong training, and smart protocol provides the best possible alternative: a world where the majority of plots are foiled and the rest are met by a combined force of competent, well-trained professionals ready to mitigate damage to the fullest extent possible.

Communities are changing. Housing should too.
True sustainability requires a built environment that also sustains its occupant.
With pressing urgency, municipalities and regional governments across Canada are looking for housing solutions for their changing communities, one major segment being seniors. Statistics show that by the year 2032, 36% of North Americans will be 65 years of age or older. Back in 1993, CMHC estimated a need to build seniors' housing at a rate of 50,000 homes per year, every year for the next 20 years.
Importantly, seniors' housing has to be more than simply low-cost. It must also reduce falling hazards, support intergenerational living and provide aging in place with independence, and be provided in large numbers. The answer lies not in building separate, segregated seniors' housing, but rather in developing market housing projects that will end up supporting all users.
There is an abundance of disability-based criteria available. However, these solutions are no longer socially acceptable because they segregate and negatively label the occupant as being somehow lesser than other members of society. Despite the fact that municipalities have a real desire to accommodate the public's best interest and its diverse needs, existing standards do not work universally and are, in fact, hurting the very people they are trying to help. SAFERhome Standards effectively addresses this issue.
SAFERhome offers a low-cost, simple and effective solution to allow people to age in place. Any and all new housing construction can effectively integrate our standards today. No need to change the building code; all of the 15 points in the SAfERhome Standards are within the building code and can easily be applied. Need reassurance? Our non-profit initiatives are funded by the BC Ministry of Housing.
If your community starts integrating SAFERhome into all new housing construction, your ability to offer seniors a place to age-in-place increases dramatically without the community having to build additional housing, often labeled "seniors' housing". An additional benefit is that your community gains housing that also meets many needs for people with accessibility issues.
Become a MUNICIPAL Member. Receive a free two hour training session, 80 free manuals ($1,500 value) and more. Contact us for your Municipal Membership package.
What does the SAFERhome program mean to your city?
How does SAFERhomes help sustain the community?
Accidental falls cost the Canadian economy billions of dollars a year. 80% of all children in BC Children's Hospital are there due to preventable accidents in the home. About one in three people over the age 65 will fall at home this year in BC. A home that is SAFER-certified substantially reduces people's risk of falling in the home.
Ensures that housing starts meet the real needs of the community as urban populations grow, demographics shift and an aging population becomes a priority.
Helps create affordable, sustainable housing with little cost to the municipality.
Allow cities to support, track, and confirm building standards addressing human sustainability without having to build in-house programs or hire more inspectors.
Allows development projects to move more efficiently through the City Hall system because more than 70% of the community social housing issues associated with the design and approval process are removed.
Gives people a livable environment to age-in-place, and the municipality reduces the problematic strain on the healthcare system and becomes part of the solution.
Reduces the need for segregated and labeled social housing that historically led to devalued, ghetto-like environment.
Creates more integrated and inclusive neighbourhoods.
Lowers the municipal costs needed to deliver appropriate housing for the needs of our growing and aging population, and the community as a whole.
Lowers healthcare and support costs.
Adds flexibility to homes, increasing their value in the real estate market.
Increases housing options for people and families that want to stay within their community as they grow or age.
Improves the quality of life in neighborhoods.
Lowers future renovation expenditures for home-owners.
Contact us for our Statistics Facts Sheet.
Sometimes out of a desperate need for housing, other times because of a reliance on building code minimums, most of the "accessible" housing stock in BC is either homemade and so specific to one person's needs that it does not easily transfer to other users. Or it is based on an institutional model of access, focused on people with mobility impairments and wheelchair users – destroying the environment of a "normal" home in the process.
The institutional look of "wheelchair housing" has left a negative stereotype on accessible housing. People don't want to live in institutions. While aging is inevitable, living in an institution is to be put off as long as possible.
The cost of incorporating the SAFERhome criteria into a new building development is approximately $500 for multiple-family units (MURBS/MSRT) or $1,000 for single family homes. The cost of renovating or retrofitting that same program into an existing building is over $100,000.
In most cases it is more viable to sell an old house as a normal home at normal real estate values and buy a new home with the simple SAFERhome Standards included.
Every housing program currently used is based on 1972 ideas and standards. SAFERhome is the only new and effective tool kit available that really delivers the housing intent of the municipality and a positive and measurable end result that can be shared easily with the community.
Make the future of your municipality a bright one. Contact us today!

Derek Jeter highlights newcomers on Baseball Hall of Fame ballot
Former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was a 14-time All-Star selection and won five World Series titles. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo
Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Former New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter, an overwhelming favorite to join former teammate and reliever Mariano Rivera in Cooperstown, is among 18 newcomers on the 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.
Jeter, who has served as CEO of the Miami Marlins in the last two seasons, is a 14-time All-Star selection and was the 1996 American League Rookie of the Year. He hit .310 with 3,465 hits in 20 MLB seasons and won five World Series titles alongside Rivera in New York.
Rivera entered the Hall of Fame earlier this year after he became the first unanimous pick by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Other newcomers announced Monday include: Bobby Abreu, Josh Beckett, Heath Bell, Eric Chavez, Adam Dunn, Chone Figgins, Rafael Furcal, Jason Giambi, Raul Ibanez, Paul Konerko, Cliff Lee, Carlos Pena, Brad Penny, J.J. Putz, Brian Roberts, Alfonso Soriano and Jose Valverde.
Among the players returning to the ballot are pitcher Curt Schilling, who received 60.9 percent of votes last year. Players are required to obtain 75 percent of votes to be elected.
Other holdovers include Roger Clemens (59.5 percent), Barry Bonds (59.1 percent) and Larry Walker (54.6 percent). Walker is on the ballot for the 10th and final time this year.
Results will be announced Jan. 21. Anyone elected will be inducted July 26, along with any selections by the Hall of Fame's modern era committee.

Michigan State Police troopers have found two suspects involved in an armed breaking and entering and are looking for a third.
Lakeview Post MSP troopers are searching the Belding area for three suspects believed to be involved with armed breaking and entering from an early-morning incident in Fairplain Township in Montcalm County, according to a news release sent out by MSP.
The suspects are Antonio Miguel LaBanca, 21 of Greenville Casey Lee Stapp, 19 of Greenville and an unknown female, the release states.
LaBanca and Stapp were arrested without incident, MSP confirmed in a follow-up email. They are set to be arraigned on Wednesday. They are still trying to identify a third suspect.
The handgun was recovered and there is no longer a danger involved with the suspects, according to an updated version of the news release.
The suspects were caught breaking into a shed by the homeowners. The homeowners also indicated that they saw the suspects with a handgun.
Troops responded to the incident, leading to a chase that spanned several miles and resulted in two damaged patrol vehicles. Minor injuries were also reported, according to the release.
The vehicle driven by the suspects was abandoned in Belding and the suspects fled on foot.
Those who may see the suspects or any suspicious activity are encouraged by MSP to call 911.
Troopers from the Lakeview Post were assisted by Belding Police Department, Greenville Department of Public Safety, Montcalm County Sheriff's Office, Ionia County Sheriff's Office, Kent County Sheriff's Office, and both the Ionia and Montcalm County Central Dispatch Centers.


This render tree node allows to continue tracing the ray in an arbitrary direction. In addition, you can provide mental ray with a fake intersection point for the ongoing computation.
It's actually 2 shaders, #1 returns the next ray's length, #2 continues sampling for color. As an example, this could be used for computing thickness (trace direction = eye ray) , return ray length.
This render tree node passes the inverted surface normal to its connected nodes.
For an example, this can be used in conjunction with the Ambient Occlusion shader to darken the convex instead of the concave areas of an object (like this).
The rray-type & invertSurface addons however report (in the install addon dialog, when installing) that there's nothing to install. I checked the xml but couldn't find anything obviously amiss (which obviously doesn't mean a thing...).
Redownloading them didn't do the trick either.
This is probably user error, but do you have any idea what could be going on?
Was looking for wire-D the other day but could not conjure up the name for some reason! Thank you for the 64bit update and thank you for reminding me about the wonderful rray.de site!
Does anybody have a compiled version of rray-type for linux64 or can point me to some sort of shader-compiling-how-to for linux?

Q: D flip-flop in Cadence
I am designing a D flip-flop. While doing my pre-layout simulations, I wasn't getting the output Q for the inputs, see attachments.
But when I tried to take the output from CLKPULSE, I was getting some zigzag signals.
Can you share your thoughts on this?

Getting traffic to your blog seems to be the Holy Grail of blogging. Though blogging isn't just about the numbers it does make your stomach flip when you see your traffic stats start to climb. Only this week my other blog saw a really nice spike in traffic from 100 visitors a day to 2300+ on one day with neighboring days seeing 1000+. That little spike was from a pin getting some attention.
Getting traffic is important if you are thinking of going the affiliate route the best course/ebook I have read is PotPieGirls Niche Post Conversation Strategy where Jennifer offers to teach you 13 Easy Strategies To Double – or TRIPLE – Your Affiliate Sales, simple tweaks to make MORE affiliate sales from your existing blog posts even if you get very little traffic. The best $39 I have ever spent and even after blogging for over 9 years I learned loads.
So what other tips are there for getting more traffic….
First and the most important be genuine. Love what your blogging about. Know what you are blogging about. Live and breath it. When you have a passion and a knowledge of a subject it will shine through in your writing.
Re-read your post titles. Are they catchy, do they make you want to know more? I found this Headline Checker from Coschedulereally helpful and its free.
Check each post has a relevant picture. Not only does it look more attractive but it gives readers something to pin.
Vary your blog post types. Just all text posts are fine but you can spice it up with How To posts, lists types and checklists. It adds variety plus also you might find your readers go absolutely gaga over checklists or list types.
Have a weekly ( or monthly) theme. Readers then know each Friday or Monday or whatever day you've chosen, is your Razzamataz day or Saving Money day.
Feature other bloggers on your blog. The featured blogger not only brings along its loyal readers from their blog but you may be offering a new blog to read to your readers.
When your tweeting on twitter uses relevant hashtags. If you have a weekly theme use the same hashtag on it.
Create a Facebook Fan Page. You can then post your blog post links, ask questions and get your readers engaged and involved.
Use Pinterest. Not just once in a blue moon when you have nothing else to do but every day. Learn how to use Pinterest properly.
Re-Post your older content on Facebook and Twitter so that your newer readers can find posts they might not have read.
Comment on other people's blogs. I don't mean they awful spammy "hi nice post" kind of comments. Find bloggers in your niche. Read their posts and the posts you really love get involved.
If a post has really really useful info that your readers could do with printing off, use Scribd to repost as PDF form.
Make sure your blog URL is on the bottom of all your emails in your signature and put it anywhere else you can while you're at it.
Have business cards made with your blog URL so that you can whip them out at any and every opportunity?
So there you go. Have a go at that lot and I am sure I will think of some more very soon.

Outsourcing Online Transcription Services can now Help your Business
Matthew Wiles
When it comes to transcription services, companies want to hire an in-house team. They assume that it will be efficient and will get them results. However, that's not the case. Online outsourcing of transcription services is far better than an in-house team. Here is why it's better to have an online outsourcing transcription team.
Deadlines are the way of ensuring your productivity remains high. Once the staff starts missing deadlines, then the value of work decreases. An online outsourcing company will always meet deadlines and submit the work on time. You can even hire one overseas, that is ahead of your time, so you get the desired results fast.
Outsourcing online transcription services is not expensive. It depends on the part of the world the company comes from. Most of them are cheap if they are from Asia. But they do not compromise with the quality of work. Every company wants to cut short on some of the budget. And outsourcing costs is one of them. It is far less costly than hiring an in house team.
A company gets the services of experts when using an outsourcing transcription team. Most of the online transcription teams have a highly experienced staff that work efficiently and meet deadlines on time.
When a company uses outsourcing, the resources in the company get freed. The freer they are, the more focused they are. And the staff can focus on their priority and finish their work.
Outsourcing a transcription team has many advantages; a company saves capital expenses, gets results in time, and also increases the productivity of the staff.

Why use custom web development? Why is it better to use ready-made CMS
Custom web application development is not only good branding. It is also a great tool for communication between company and customer and much more enjoyable for both. Apps extend an expanse to portable and mobile gadgets' ability to provide seamless expansion of the scope with which companies can serve to consumers online. Interface of the application should be attractive and comfortable in use. Moreover, it should have a unique identity, which reflects the company's branding message and helps to establish emotional connection with customers. Custom-made design and development increase user engagement and distinguish a company from the competition.
But using off-the-shelf solutions might be the best choice for the companies, which are just starting their web journey due to its cost efficiency. In this article we will define pros and cons of custom web development compared to SaaS products.
Digital innovation is a critical component of modern business development. Business leaders usually face a choice between using off-the-shelf solutions (SaaS) and designing custom ones. The former offer a high degree of reliability at a lower price tag. However, SaaS products may lack critical features that are necessary for meeting the company's requirements.
Custom web development company services VS SaaS CMS: pros and cons
It is common for small businesses to rely on SaaS as a lower-budget alternative. But as a business grows, so do its demands for software. For example, companies might need to manage more resources, and SaaS is unable to meet the increasing needs.
Custom development allows the implementation of solutions that match the very particular company's needs. The decision to go with it can stem from the rising number of employees, new locations, or new markets. With SaaS, companies have to deal with the one-size-fits-all approach, facing limitations in different access levels, feature customization, etc.
When choosing custom web development services, it's important to find the right provider who will understand the company's structure and goals.
Pros and cons of SaaS products
The nature of SaaS reveals its strengths and weaknesses. A cheaper solution also means weaker control over it. Take a look at the table below to learn about the pros and cons of SaaS products:
Cost efficiency.
Reliability and maintenance.
Automated updates.
Data protection.
Limited customization.
Limited control.
Limited scalability.
Security concerns.
Pros and cons of custom web development services
Having a customized app addresses specific company needs. It allows businesses to create unique features based on their requirements and add all the integrations they need. Plus, such solutions can be more secure. For instance, a company may have an offline copy of data, protected from external attacks.
Customization capabilities.
High flexibility.
High security level.
Unique features as competitive advantages.
Large investments.
Resource-intensive.
Not automated.
Security risks.
Who needs custom development?
When a business has specific needs, it's best to choose custom software app development. It also makes sense in the following cases:
A company is planning to use this software for various projects and demands functionality variation from one project to another.
A business is scaling.
A company has its own development team with sufficient expertise to implement a required solution.
A business has already used a SaaS product that doesn't match the needs.
