On Vignetting the Compost, Stephen Wilkinson pulls a rabbit out of his hat and shows that he's done what everyone wanted him to do but that nobody believed he could: he's grown -- as a songwriter, as a musician, and as a producer.

In most cases, I've found the peripheral information and circumstances surrounding the creation of an album to be interesting but inconsequential. Sure, it helps to know that Set Fire to Flames' Sings Reign Rebuilder was made by 13 people locked in a house for a week without sleep or sunshine, but it doesn't matter to me that SND's Stdiosnd Types came from machines in a Sheffield recording studio. When it flows through the earbuds, I'm immediately on a pixilated tropical island (picture Super Mario 2 without the baddies), kicking back and admiring the flora.
Bibio's Stephen Wilkinson is British and used the fishing trips in Wales his father once took him on as his wellspring of inspiration. And while I can see the connection when I try hard enough, for my money Bibio's music is the perfect evocation of being in the middle of the American nowhere in an altered state -- or, more innocently, the memories of growing up in the heartland as they arise hazily in the mind of an adult. (There's a reason why Bibio was recommended to Mush Records by Marcus Eoin Sandison, one-half of musical drug/nostalgia-dealers Boards of Canada.) Some call it folk, which often connotes communality; I hear it more as a close cousin of country, in that it's meant to be experienced alone, preferably during a summer drive through a town with a population under 1000 and a sign that reads: Life moves a little slower here.
Bibio is mostly just Wilkinson, his guitar, and any number of unnamable pieces of processing paraphernalia. The M.O., which has remained quite consistent through his two proper albums and a handful of remixes, is to noodle around on the guitar a little, record it, and then treat the recordings in a variety of ways as the mood strikes him. (The treatments don't sound as if they come from a laptop, but rather from tape players and ancient analog equipment, lending the music a weathered age effect and a nice organic touch that sets it apart.) Because the instrumental ingredients and song structures didn't change very much from track to track on previous releases (either he would opt for ambience or, more likely, loop the same phrases over and over), the music lived and died on the basis of texture.
Fi, his 2004 debut, succeeded on these grounds: Wilkinson cloaked his compositions in a ragged yet woozily pearly atmosphere, as if to shoot them through the eyes of someone waking up to the daylight blooming over the Midwest, and in this case, the reasons why the record was slight were the same ones that made it so perpetually listenable. When he switched up his textures from dreamy and glassy to parched and stringy for 2006's appropriately titled Hand Cranked, he came up short. The songs (or loops) were still in place, but as the sound got too literal the nostalgia evaporated, and Bibio's approach suddenly seemed stagnant and pedestrian.
On Vignetting the Compost, Wilkinson pulls a rabbit out of his hat and shows that he's done what everyone wanted him to do but that nobody believed he could: he's grown--as a songwriter, as a musician, and as a producer. Songs have become songs as such, and even the amorphous moments are prettier and more confident than they have been in the past. He's also latched onto a set of textures that find a place for those of Fi and Hand Cranked to more or less meet in the middle, which, wouldn't ya know it, strikes a sublime balance. You can hear it right away, on the album's opener and single best track, "Flesh Rots, Pip Sown", where three twangy guitars, an old honky-tonk piano, bird chirps and a heavily treated recorder weave through each other like threads in a soft woolen blanket. It feels like the most beautifully complete piece of the entire Bibio mosaic, especially when Wilkinson's own voice comes through all warbly at the end, singing a painfully short verse on which he sounds quite close to Benoît Pioulard. Even when the sound leans toward the dry Hand Cranked variety, he's made it work for him by pairing it with songs that call for it, most notably on the Woody Guthrie folk of "Mr. & Mrs. Compost" (featuring an unusually clear Wilkinson on the mic). It's comforting to hear a bit of old glory Fi ethereality too, as on the ambient closer "The Garden Shelter", whose delicate eddies conjure up the image of -- to borrow a song title from Chihei Hatakeyama, who may have been an influence -- a swaying curtain in the window.
Wilkinson has also grown as a compiler of his music, and I'm sensing that he is paying close attention to how he can create an atmosphere through album flow. To take a mid-record chunk as an exemplar, the three tracks "Under the Pier", "Weekend Wildfire" and "The Clothesline and the Silver Birch" are actually more like eight, since each is split into at least two sections. First comes a warped merry-go-round guitar figure drenched in faded blues and yellows, then 30 seconds of resigned country/post-rock noodling, then a consciously campy hayride of a melody, then -- whoosh! -- a flurry of strumming like a Sung Tongs-era Animal Collective ransacking the hay wagon, then a puddle of guitars and drones deliquescing into the grassy ground, then a small slice of Tortoise-themed future rock, then the sounds of children blowing onto the tops of soda bottles, and finally, a chorus of plucked guitars ricocheting against each other like wind chimes in the breeze. Through this saltatory sequencing, Bibio demonstrates a kittenish playfulness with his own material that didn't used to be there, and brings us on a dreamlike adventure without relying on fey and dreamy surfaces to do all of the heavy lifting.
Disregarding what the ups, downs and roundabouts in the sequence mean on deeper level, the sheer variety of tracks showcased to heightened effect on Vignetting the Compost ensures that there's something for everyone. Folk tributes? Check. Barnburners? Check. Gorgeous cloud-drift ambience? Check. In all cases, Bibio's appreciation for youth, the natural world and small-town living is apparent, which means Bibio sounds like Bibio for the third time in a row -- and that's great news for those of us (ahem) who weren't quite ready for him to drop everything and take off somewhere else entirely. There are a handful of moments that fall flat or otherwise don't work; "Great Are the Piths", which boasts far and away the album's cleanest production, has the feel of 1970s soft rock quicksand, and "Odd Paws" is so shriveled and comical it sounds as though it were played by a family of muskrats on a floating log. But I like the idea that Wilkinson is experimenting, testing the waters and, I would imagine, making a note of which efforts pay off and which ones do not. What's more, it suggests that Wilkinson has a few more tricks up his sleeve and a catalogue-conquering album still left in him. Though Vignetting the Compost misses perfection and lacks the easy narcotic bliss of Fi, it's Bibio's best record.

Televisions just keep getting bigger and bigger, but you'll pay a pretty penny to get a few more inches of screen size if you go the traditional TV route. A projector, on the other hand, can give you a variable screen size that goes a lot bigger than even the largest TVs you can find in the store—and you can get one for a lot less than you might expect.
If you're looking for the best 1080p projector under 500 bucks, give the four options below a look. All of them will give you a great viewing experience for right around the $500 mark—and some of them cost even less than that. You might be surprised by all the features you can find on a projector without shelling out a whole tone of money.
Let's start things off with this model from Optoma. Now, we'll be clear about this right up front—you won't always find it available for less than $500, but even at its higher price points it's close enough to this benchmark that it should fit into similar budgets. Considering what all you get when you buy it, you'll almost certainly find the extra expense to be well worth it.
The picture is the most important thing about any TV, and on that front the Optoma HD142X definitely delivers. It gives you up to 3,000 lumens of bright, beautiful color, the entire way across the REC.709 spectrum, the current standard for HD television. This means you'll get accurate color representation for movies, games, and broadcast TV sent according to ColorSpace specifications. This great contrast also ensures the black sections of the screen will be truly black, adjusting the lamp for each frame automatically for sharp on-screen contrast.
The Optoma HD142X also gives you high-definition detail with an on-screen resolution of 1920X1080 pixels. This is ideal for watching movies on Blu-ray without any compression or alteration to the scale. Along with HD picture, it also has the capability to project 3D content from any source, whether it's a Blu-ray movie or a game played on your console. The fast, 144Hz refresh rate means you'll get smooth playback with no flickering.
The sound is one place that many projectors under-perform, but that's not the case with this unit. There's a 10-watt speaker built right in, giving you much clearer, louder audio than you'll get from most projectors. It won't out-perform a home theater, but the speakers are on par with what you'll get built into most TVs.
Everything about this projector is designed to fit easily into your media set-up. It has two HDMI ports for gaming systems, streaming sticks, and other media sources. It also has an MHL port that you can use to connect a tablet or smartphone. With a screen size between 65" and 107", you'll get the premium theater-level viewing experience you're looking for, and for a very affordable price considering the features.
Here's another similar option from Optoma—in fact, another projector from the very same product line, as you might guess from the nearly-identical names. It shares a lot of great features with the HD142X and surprisingly fits into the same very affordable price point, even though it's arguably an improvement over the model above.
Like the HD142X, this projector gives you a 1080p screen resolution from a lamp with up to 3,000 lumens of brightness. The picture is even better, too, thanks to improvements to the contrast ratio and color accuracy. It also still gives you the option of viewing real 3D content—something that's becoming more and more useful in a home theater context.
While the picture quality improved slightly between models, the changes to the build and design were more noticeable. It's a bulkier projector with a more substantial lens mechanism. We actually liked this about it—it feels more solid like it's built to last—but it can make things tricky from an installation standpoint, especially if you usually use a ceiling-mounted system.
The biggest change from both a screen and design standpoint is to the throw ratio and screen size. You can get a much larger screen with the HD143X—up to 300 inches if you have a large enough space. The throw ratio is also more flexible, so you have more options when it comes to the installation.
With all the improvements Optoma made between these models you'd probably expect the 143X to carry a bigger price tag. This is why we were especially impressed that you can still get this projector for less than $500. If you're looking to get the best bang for your buck, the Optoma 143X is a definite contender.
BenQ is a name you might not expect to see on a list of affordable projectors. They're a brand that's more often associated with high-end performance than budget-friendly options. The MH530FHD skates right at the edge of the 500 dollar price limit (and sometimes goes a bit over it, depending on where you're shopping) but it's definitely still very affordable and an excellent value, considering the quality.
Other than resolution, the lamp brightness is the key statistic to tell how clear the picture will be in a practical, real-world application. At 3,300 lumens, this BenQ projector is one of the brightest on the list. And you can definitely see the difference, especially if the projector has to compete with any ambient light. With a high color accuracy and contrast ratio to match, it's safe to say this projector produces the best picture on the list.
This is also a very versatile projector. The short-throw lamp makes it the perfect option for a smaller space. You'll still need some distance if you want the full 300 inches the projector's capable of, but you can get a screen of 100 inches or more in even a small room. There's also a 1.2X zoom for fine picture adjustment.
It is missing some features you'd expect from other BenQ models. There is a keystone adjustment, but the only easy way to access it is with the Quick Install button—after set-up, these adjustments are harder to make. This won't be a problem if you're mounting the projector or otherwise don't plan to move it much after it's installed, but it is worth noting.
Some pro-level companies slack off on their more affordable models. We're pleased to say BenQ hasn't done that here. The performance from this projector is incredible for the price, both in terms of picture quality and usability.
BenQ MH530FHD DLP Projector Unboxing & Review | The BEST Budget Gaming Projector?
The ViewSonic line of projectors gives you a high-quality option at pretty much every price point. The Pro7827HD projector is one of the greatest valued options in their catalog. The image might not be as bright or sharp as with their top of the line PX747-4K, but considering it costs less than half as much, it most definitely gives you more bang for your buck.
This projector is designed with home theaters in mind. The full HD picture has a resolution of 1920X1080p and can go up to a size of 300 inches—a truly massive screen that will make you feel like you're at the movies. The colors are life-like, using an RGBRGB color wheel so you'll get the accurate, cinematic hues that make a movie really come to life. They've even made upgrades to the audio over other projectors, with two built-in speakers. They may not give you the Dolby experience of a movie theater, but they'll at least fill up your living room with sound.
This model is also exceptionally easy to set up and connect to your other devices. It has three total HDMI hook-ups, more than most projectors, as well as a port for A/V and VGA. It can be connected to pretty much any game system or dedicated media player, and it also plays nice with laptops and smartphones, so you can view content from anywhere through this projector. >>> Our guide how to use projector with a mac The relatively short throw ratio also gives you more versatility and options when it comes to where you want the projector in your home. For ease of use and value, this is definitely a strong contender.
Here's another excellent option if you're looking for a combination of high video quality and an affordable price. With a brightness of 3,300 lumens and a maximum screen size of 280 inches, it has stats on par with the other items on the list—but is even more affordable, and has other strengths, as well.
The ohderii GP100 uses an LED light source rather than a bulb. This makes it more efficient, keeping the heat level relatively low, which in turn allows for a quieter cooling fan. LED bulbs also have an impressively long life, in this case, up to 30,000 hours—plenty for even frequent TV viewers. As an added bonus, it can be viewed equally well indoors or for night-time outdoor use, letting you host backyard movie nights with ease.
The resolution on this model isn't quite as high as with the two above. It can support a maximum of 1920X1080p, but the native resolution is only 720p, meaning you may see some graininess or pixilation, especially at larger screen sizes. It also can't get quite as large of an image as other options. The maximum size is comparable, but you'll get a better quality if you keep it to around 120 inches or less. Of course, this is still a very large screen, especially compared to the size of standard TV you could get for the same price.
The on-screen resolution for this projector isn't high enough for intense gaming, and you won't get extras like 4KHD or 3D. If you're looking for top image quality, you might be disappointed with this unit. If you're mostly looking for an affordable way to take your home theater to the next level, though, this projector will satisfy.
If you're looking for the brightest lamp you can get for less than $500, you'll want to look at the ViewSonic PX700HD. It's from their much-touted PX line of projectors, and while it's the entry-level model for that line, you'll still benefit from the cutting edge technology utilized in these impressive projectors.
If you just looked at the feature list of the PX700HD, you'd probably expect it to cost twice as much. Both HDMI inputs are compatible with 3D Blu-rays. There is also a powered USB slot for easily connecting wi-fi dongles or other content sources like flash drives. No matter which input we used, there was absolutely no lag—it feels just like controlling a standard flat-screen, making it perfect for gamers.
In terms of the picture, it uses the same SuperColor system that gives you the bright, cinema-quality colors you want in a home theater. It also has different performance modes that let you quickly adjust the settings for different purposes. There's a Sports Mode for faster response and sharper detail, and an Eco Mode that reduces brightness, conserving energy and extending lamp life.
Just about the only people who might not be happy with the performance of the PX700HD are those with smaller spaces. It has a standard throw ratio, so while you can get a projected image up to 300 inches, you'll need a lot of distance between lens and screen to get it there. The zoom is limited, as well, at least compared to other models in the ViewSonic PX line. If you're not in a restricted space, this is an incredible projector for the price.
The Ultimate Budget Home Entertainment Projector !!!
If you're looking for the absolute cheapest projector you can get that will give you 1080p resolution, you'll love this one from Dr. J. It's by far the most affordable way to get the massive screen a projector like this can give you. There are concessions you have to make to get this low of a price, of course, but it's still an incredible value if high-resolution playback isn't as much of a concern.
This projector will support up to 1080p, but like the model above that is not the default setting. The native resolution is only 840X480p, and you may experience some fuzziness or pixelation in the picture, depending on what content you're viewing and where it comes from. It's also plenty bright for home theater use. The included lamp gives you up to 2,000 lumens, about 10% brighter than a lot of what you might consider to be budget projectors. This light is projected using diffuse reflection technology, so you won't be looking directly at the light source and your eyes won't get as tired from extended viewing.
The speakers on this projector exist, but they're not the greatest—you'll probably want to hook it up to some kind of external speaker system, even if you're only using it for personal viewing in your home. The fan uses a lower-noise design, but it's still not completely silent, so keep that in mind when you're deciding if you need external speakers.
Aside from this small snag, this projector is very functional and easy to use. It connects to a lot of different devices and has USB and HDMI ports as well as spaces for A/V hookup, a VGA port, and a slot for TF cards. The 2018 upgrades to this projector really give you a huge bang for your buck, making this the ideal way to satisfy your home theater needs on a budget.
In terms of overall performance, our favorite projector at this price point is the ViewSonic PX700HD. It's not only the brightest projector on the list but the low lag and various performance modes make it versatile for a wide range of different uses. The only thing the PX700HD won't do is work in a small space. If you need a short throw projector, the BenQ MH530FHD jumps to the top of our list. It's a bit pricier than the ViewSonic but it has a comparable picture and even better adjustment options.
In truth, though, all of the projectors on this list have their definite strengths—and none of them will put a big dent in your bank account. The big lesson here is that you have a lot more options than you probably realized when you're looking for a 1080p projector on a budget. If the high price of flat screen TVs has been keeping you from setting up your home theater, switching to a projector just might be your answer.


David Bowie cast off his Ziggy Stardust persona decades ago, but a fondness for the look and sound of his 1970s music remains strong among rock fans. Asheville-based touring tribute group Wham Bam Bowie Band answers that demand.
A one-off gig years ago in Nashville planted the seed that would eventually grow into Wham Bam Bowie Band. "We lived in Nashville from 1996 to 2000," recalls leader Mark Casson. "In the late '90s, there was a club where The Cheeksters played regularly, and we got friendly with the guy who booked shows there. He would put together theme nights, and he thought, 'Maybe Mark could get together with these other two or three guys and do a David Bowie tribute.'" One of those musicians was Jerry Dale McFadden, now the keyboard player for The Mavericks; another was famed Nashville session guitarist Kenny Vaughan.
Wham Bam Bowie Band came together in 2013, and has performed roughly 60-80 shows since starting. Keyboardist Aaron Price and guitarist André Cholmondeley – both musicians who are quite busy with other concurrent projects – were on board from the start, joined soon by bassist Brett Spivey. The newest member is drummer Jim Neu.
Once they started playing shows, Casson's Bowie tribute band focused first on what he describes as "that brash, early '70s glam, proto-punk rock," a far cry from The Cheeksters' comparatively sophisticated and refined pop. Bowie's landmark 1973 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars provided the template for the Asheville band's early sets. But Wham Bam Bowie Band quickly expanded their scope. Casson says that Bowie "is an incredible songwriter, and he's covered so many types of music in unique ways." So a current performance – like the upcoming Orange Peel show – first features the music of the entire Ziggy Stardust LP. "During a quick break, I effect a quick costume change," Casson says. "And I'll come back out as Bowie's 'Thin White Duke' persona." Then follows a second set of hits (and occasional deep-cut favorites) from throughout David Bowie's nearly fifty-year recording career.
The Britain-born Casson is excited about playing the relatively large venue of The Orange Peel in his adopted hometown. His message to those coming to the show is simple: "Expect to be transported – both musically and visually – back to the heady days of glam rock." The Orange Peel show represents a unique opportunity. The band plays hometown gigs only occasionally, and this Friday night show is a (rare for the band) all-ages event. So Mark's son Henry can come with his friends. At earlier shows, it was a case of Mark Casson being told, "Yeah, you can sneak the kid in, but only with a parent." Now, a younger crowd can enjoy Bowie's hits alongside those fans now in their 50s and 60s who bought the Ziggy Stardust LP when it first came out.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trim Levels, Specs, and Pricing Leaked Ahead of Release
Truick Trend Staff
Chrysler has been mum thus far on all the juicy details of the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- an SUV that the automaker is hoping will return the model to its former days of greatness. Today, JeepGarage.org, a Jeep enthusiast Web site, claims to have dug up an official 2011 Grand Cherokee order guide that divulges trim levels, specs, and pricing information.
The 2011 Grand Cherokee is available in Laredo, Limited, and Overland trims, but the Laredo line is split into two different models. The entry-level Laredo "E" package, which starts at $31,480 and $33,470 for two-wheel and four-wheel-drive models, respectively, is the entry-level Grand Cherokee. Standard equipment includes the new 3.6-liter "Pentastar" V-6, a five-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch aluminum wheels, fog lamps, and a six-speaker audio system.
The Laredo "X" bumps 4x2 and 4x4 pricing to $36,095 and $37,995, respectively, while adding a host of standard content, including a 115-volt AC outlet, a nine-speaker audio system with touch-screen interface and a 30-gigabyte hard drive, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seating, Bluetooth connectivity, and an iPod connector. Laredo X models are optionally available with Chrysler's revised 5.7-liter "Hemi" V-8, which will add $1645 to the window sticker.
The 2011 Limited model carries even more standard equipment, including 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, bi-xenon HID headlamps, a panoramic sunroof, heated second row seats, power-folding electrochromatic side-view mirros, and upgraded door panel trim. Of course, pricing takes a bit of a jump over a Laredo X, with 4x2 models starting at $38,280, and 4x4 models running $40,260. The Hemi V-8 remains an option.
Last seen in the 2004 model year, the Overland trim returns for 2011, and represents the most luxurious Grand Cherokee money can buy. In addition to all the content found on the Limited, the Overland adds 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, navigation, stitched leather trim on the instrument panel, doors, and center console armrest, real wood trim, premium Nappa leather seating, and a power liftgate. Jeep's new "Quadra-Lift" air suspension is also standard, as is a two-speed transfer case on four-wheel-drive models. Pricing is reported to start at $42,430 for two-wheel-drive Overlands, and $45,770 for four-wheel-drive models.
Expect to see more official details on the 2011 Grand Cherokee in the coming months. Production of the new SUV is expected to start in Detroit come May 2010, and the first salable examples should arrive at dealers in June.

In your letter dated August 28, 1997, received in our office on September 2, 1997, you requested a country of origin determination on childrens bandanas, style 49293, which are manufactured in three printed fabrications, grand flower print, China blue dot print & lemonade print and dyed plaid fabrication.
You state that the bandana, style 49293 was the subject of a line review at your premises where your submitted worksheet indicates a that classification was given to you under HTS 6217.10.9510. Absent a sample, the description on the submitted worksheet of a single ply cotton fabric article, measuring 19" x 19", with a double turned hem is indicative of a handkerchief . Based on this information the correct classification for style 49293 would be under subheading 6213.20.1000, HTS, which provides for "Handkerchiefs: Of cotton: Hemmed, not containing lace or embroidery". The rate of duty will be 13.8 percent ad valorem. The textile category is 330.
On December 8, 1994, the President signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Section 334 of that Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. ?3592) provides new rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21.
Paragraph (c)(1) states that "The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced." As the subject handkerchief, style 49293, yarn-dyed fabrication is wholly obtained or produced in a single country, which is stated to be China, then China is the country of origin for this item.
6213-6214 The country of origin of a good classifiable under heading 6213 through 6214 is the country, territory, or insular possession in which the fabric comprising the good was formed by a fabric- making process.

"Dream" … an application that turns words into paintings
Sigmund Shepherd December 27, 2021
News order
Canadian startup Wombo has launched the Dream app for iOS and Android smartphones. The app uses artificial intelligence to produce original artwork based on text commands from the user. The company drew attention to it – earlier – when it launched an application that uses artificial intelligence, to adjust the synchronization between the movement of lips and sound in video files. The process of drawing with this application is very simple, the user only needs to describe the thing he wants to draw in a few simple words, such as "scary tree" or "the worst sandwich in history". Then he chooses a drawing style from a list of options including "the art Spiritual, Baroque or Imaginary", and he can choose "Without Style". Fun WOMBOmas! 👽 We are back to test your artistic abilities once again. This time, with a festive theme and some other prizes. Quote this by #DreamContest and your most beautiful, funny or scary depiction of the holiday season. Read on for the rules and prizes pic.twitter.com/kurAzqFPda— WOMBO.eth (WOMBO) December 23, 2021 The Dream app turns words into a work of art in less than 20 seconds of completing an image description in words. According to TechCrunch, a site specializing in technical issues, the user will not be bored during these twenty seconds, during which he is waiting for the artboard to appear on the device screen. Where the application will display glimpses of the role of artificial intelligence at work. This app demonstrates the massive revolution in the field of modeling, from marking the beginning of artwork to placing quick additions on canvas, all the way to producing the final image. Of course, some of the artwork produced with the Dream app is amazing, and some aren't necessarily so

Insurtech Start-up funding
Is Lemonade IPO the model for insurtech? Probably not
By Ian Jeffrey July 21, 2020, 2:37 p.m. EDT 4 Min Read
Investment in insurtech is big business. Just this month, investors warmly welcomed Lemonade's IPO, boosting the company's opening day stock price by 139%, resulting in a $3.8 billion valuation – all for a company yet to post a profit. And back in December 2019, Wefox, a Berlin-based InsurTech, closed the decade – and a second tranche of B-round funding – with a cool $110 million, bringing its total for the year to $225 million. This cash infusion capped off a remarkable quarter – and year – for insurtech at large, with industry watcher Willis Tower Watson reporting the quarter's tally at nearly $2 billion and the year's, spread across 300+ deals, at over $6 billion – both records.
The numbers don't lie, but they also don't tell the whole story. On the one hand, unicorns, or those soon to be minted, regularly attract more than $100 million investments just as leaders in AI, 5G, and other hot technology markets do. On the other are the dozens of new companies, typically niche providers, that seemingly crop up every day all over the world. Headlines from the first two mainly pre-COVID months of this year heralded early round raises for insurtechs specializing in everything from ride-sharing to pets and bicycles.
This great variety of players and categories, captured nicely in the plethora of charts depicting the InsurTech "ecosystem" – signals both health and hype, a tantalizing mix for investors typical of a young market with explosive growth potential. As insurtech innovates its way to the center of the new decade's insurance practices, the time is right for an examination of the insurtech phenomena from an investment perspective.
The insurance industry is massive and venerable with legacy carriers boasting trillions of dollars in managed assets and centuries-old pedigrees. The first generation of insurtechs has looked to capitalize and disrupt traditional carriers completely by offering an "Amazon-like" experience to 21st-century insurance consumers.
But while the prospect of disrupting the insurance industry by building a better kind of insurance company – a technology "pure play" – sounds good, it is also a tall order. Insurance is a highly regulated field, very complex, and requires massive amounts of capital to sustain it. Ironically, the large raises of insurtechs that closed out the 2010s aren't likely to issue in a new decade of pure-play dominance or signal the demise of legacy insurers. Instead, they will be remembered as a wake-up call.
As traditional carriers nervously watched the rise of this new breed of tech-forward competitor, they deliberated how best to modernize, struggling with the question of whether to "build" or "buy." While the notion of building applications "in-house" appealed to insurers' desire for control, that approach has run headlong into some real-world limitations, some particular to the insurance industry itself. For example, developing best-in-class solutions to meet the needs of 21st century digital consumers would require a heavy investment in IT talent (IT talent which hasn't flocked to insurance), expensive bets on quickly evolving technology (will what I purchase today still be best-in-class tomorrow?), and extensive time to deploy and upgrade (in-house implementations can take 18 months).
Combined, these forces are pushing traditional carriers off the fence. Facing a new decade, savvy consumers, and fast-moving, well-funded digital competitors, incumbent carriers have decided to buy. So who are they turning to? Between the insurtech pure plays and array of niche, specialty providers lies a fertile field of innovative companies called "enablers." This class of insurtech company -- of which mine, Breathe Life, is a part -- is actively partnering with legacy carriers to make them better, not displace them.
It's a crowded field, but that's the point. Improving digital engagement is imperative for life insurers to win new business, including today's huge untapped market of un- and under-insured consumers today, which Accenture sizes at $12 trillion in the U.S. alone. Modernization holds the key to conversion at scale.
But after marketing "end-to-end" platforms, insurtech enablers are likely to find that owning every step of the customer journey and every process in the insurance fulfillment chain just isn't sustainable for one technology firm. With so many innovative companies in the mix, such rich potential for future applications of AI and data, and so much business opportunity ahead, platform players instead will reposition themselves as best-of-breed providers, doubling down on what they do best – whether that's acquiring customers, managing policies, or assessing risk.
Taking their cue from Plaid, insurtech enablers will develop API-friendly solutions that facilitate smooth integration with both internal carrier systems and external ecosystem providers, offering consumers, advisors, and IT teams seamless, easy-to-manage digital experiences. Insurtechs will begin to partner with and acquire each other, leveraging complementary strengths to broaden their solution capabilities and rapidly amass customers and market share As these changes unfold, and as legacy carriers adopt these solutions en masse to become modern-day, digital juggernauts, expect a dynamic insurtech market replete with investment opportunities beyond Lemonade.

Avventure Bellissime guests say that this small-group day tour to picturesque Pompeii and the postcard-perfect Amalfi Coast, with breathtaking views of Mediterranean architecture and historical ruins, is a wonderful way to spend a day.
Once back in Rome, we suggest spending an evening on a terrace sharing day-trip stories with fellow travelers over a glass of wine!
In this day-trip from Rome, you'll visit one of the most famous wine regions in Italy, home to famous Brunello of Montalcino in Southern Tuscany, and Orcia Balley Unesco Heritage Site since 2004. With enchanting hill towns, the Medieval Montalcino and Renaissance Pienza, spectacular Tuscan country roads lined with Cypress trees and majestic villas, and numerous wine tastings at select estates, this trip to Tuscany is a favorite among visitors. Also home to the Sant Antimo Abbey, you'll experience a great mark in architectural history — this Abbey was built in 781 A.D.
Tom M from New Jersey wrote this: "We took the Tuscany day tour and not only tasted some superb wine and cheese, but also visited some of the most charming medieval cities imaginable.
Experience the history of Tivoli on this exciting eight-hour tour. Once surrounded by countryside, this incredible city was transformed into villas, estates, gardens, and terraces during the 1500s. With waterfalls and fountains, Tivoli is the perfect place for a relaxing day-tour escape.
Join an English-speaking expert guide and driver in an air-conditioned vehicle as you visit Villa D'Este and Hadrians Villa. Explore the famous Canopus and Teatro Marittimo and the beautiful Fontana dell'Organo. Enjoy an optional lunch or just sit in the shade beneath one of Tivoli's ancient Cypresses. The perfect trip for exploring and unwinding.
So where will you go next?
While these are some of our favorites, opportunities for adventure in Italy are numerous. Visit Avventure Bellissime online now to see all of our day-trip options.

Q: Can I wrap an if statement around window.location.hostname.includes('ca.') to run a script on Shopify checkout.liquid file? I am trying to run a script but only on certain subdomains of a Shopify store. I am wrapping the domain name of the window in an if statement. So the script should only trigger if it's Canada or  Australia subdomain.
if (window.location.hostname.includes('ca.') || window.location.hostname.includes('au.') ) {
        //run script
}

This seems to work on all pages except checkout.liquid file for Shopify. Any ideas if Shopify liquid files recognizes window.location.hostname?
If I remove the if statement, the code runs on all subdomains. If I add the if statement, the script doesn't work on any domains.
So I know the script works but just need it to only fire on certain subdomains.

Meet Erin the dragon. Dragons are mystical creatures and especially popular in Wales, where I live. This cute purple dragon sculpture has been handcrafted with polymer clay in purple, pearl, translucent and white. She sits on a green plinth – also made with polymer clay.
Her eyes are painted with black acrylic paint and have been varnished.
Lucy is about 3 inches (7,8cm) tall and 3 inches (7,8 cm) wide.
Erin is sold with an adoption certificate. Just email me details of who adopts her and if you want a different name. She is one-of-a-kind, however, commissions for a similar sculpture are welcome.

Q: Multiple OR conditions for a range of columns in ifelse R Using R, I have a dataframe:
ID col1 col2 col3 ... col20
1   0     0    2        0
2   3     1    0        0
3   0     0    0        1

I want to have a column called cond in which for each row, if any of the values of col1 to col3 have a value >=2, it is 1, otherwise 0. The output will be as follows:
ID col1 col2 col3 ... col20  cond
1   0     0    2        0      1
2   3     1    0        0      1
3   0     0    0        1      0

So instead of writing multiple OR conditions, I tried writing with a single line of code:
df$cond <- ifelse (df[2:4] >= 2, 1, 0)

This returns all the values of the cond = 0.
I will be glad to hear about your solutions.
EDIT
Thanks to @maydin this is the solution:
df$cond <- ifelse(rowSums(df[2:4] >= 2)>=1, 1, 0)

It is well known that general secure function evaluation (SFE) with information-theoretical (IT) security is infeasible in presence of a corrupted majority in the standard model. On the other hand, there are SFE protocols (Goldreich et al.~[STOC'87]) that are computationally secure (without fairness) in presence of an actively corrupted majority of the participants. Now, the issue with computational assumptions is not so much that they might be unjustified at the time of protocol execution. Rather, we are usually worried about a potential violation of the privacy of sensitive data by an attacker whose power increases over time (e.g.~due to new technical developments). Therefore, we ask which functions can be computed with long-term security, where we admit computational assumptions for the duration of a computation, but require IT security (privacy) once the computation is concluded. Toward this end we combinatorially characterize the classes of functions that can be computed IT securely in the authenticated channels model in presence of passive, semi-honest, active, and quantum adversaries (our results for quantum adversaries and in part for active adversaries are limited to the 2-party setting). In particular we obtain results on the fair computability of functions in the IT setting along the lines of the work of Gordon et al.~[STOC'08] for the computational setting. Our treatment is constructive in the sense that if a function is computable in a given setting, then we exhibit a protocol. We show that the class of functions computable with long-term security in a very practical setting where the adversary may be active and insecure channels and a public-key infrastructure are provided is precisely the class of functions computable with IT security in the authenticated channels model in presence of a semi-honest adversary. Finally, from our results and the work of Kushilevitz [SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics '92] and Kraschewski and Müller-Quade we can derive a complete combinatorial classification of functions, by secure computability and completeness under passive, semi-honest, active, and quantum adversaries.

Pound Shop Wars is a British factual television series that was first broadcast on BBC One from 7 November 2012 until 30 September 2015. Narrated by Caroline Aherne, the series shows the competition between rival pound shops, focusing on Poundworld. The second series, comprising eight episodes, began on 12 August 2015.

Episode list

Pilot (2012)

Series 1 (2014)

Series 2 (2015)

Reception

Ratings
The first one-off hour-long special episode had a 19.8% audience share. According to overnight figures, "The Battle of the Bra" had a viewing audience of 5.42 million, with 23.7% watching it. The third and fourth episodes had viewing audiences of 19.4% and 16.7% respectively.

Critical reception
Tim Dowling of The Guardian said the series "was not enhanced by Caroline Aherne's jokey narration, and it had more than its fair share of isn't-he-a-character type characters, but it was saved for me by a surprising discovery: the pound shop business is actually pretty interesting." Metro Caroline Westbrook said it "certainly didn't disappoint". Bath Chronicle called the narration "lacklustre" and commented on how boring the series was. Andrew Billen from The Times gave the programme three stars out of five. The Sunday Times said "Full marks to the makers of this documentary, who find a clever and absorbing way to tell the story of the biggest current trend on Britain's high streets."

Here's another rare MB (Milton Bradley) release in my collection. It's the Autobot mini vehicle Huffer. Except for the fact that it's a MOSC (mint on sealed card) Huffer, this MB version of Huffer has the oddity of Huffer being carded in a halfway transformed robot mode! Have a look!
Why is that strange, you might ask? Well, in the U.S. Huffer was released twice. Once in 1984 where Huffer was available as a so-called pre-rub version (the first wave of Transformers in the U.S. did not have any rub-signs that would show the Transformer's allegiance once rubbed) and Huffer was pre-transformed into his truck mode as you can see in the photograph below.
Then, in 1985, Huffer was released again in the U.S. as many of his mini-vehicle brethren, but this time in robot mode as you can see in the picture below.
As you can see, the card looks a lot like the 1985 U.S. release with the exception of the mini-spy, but Huffer is only half transformed. The cab portion hasn't been flipped back to show Huffer's face! So what we've ended up with here is a robot-mode Huffer with the cab still down obscuring his head. Pretty weird, huh? I've never seen any other G1 Huffer releases that have him carded like this. If we look closer at the bubble, we can see that it matches Huffer's halfway transformed mode perfectly!
UPDATE: It seems that the Joustra Diaclone version of Huffer, known simply as 'Truck', has Huffer carded in the exact same manner as this MB release! Very peculiar!
Moving over to the back of the card we see the usual quad-lingual tech-specs in German, French, Dutch and Spanish and the copyright notice says "(c) 1985 Milton Bradley International Inc. under Berne & Universal copyright convention. Made in Japan. Printed in France. Manufactured by Takara Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan.".
Damn, aren't these MB releases beautiful? Although the back of the cards and boxes are usually more crowded due to the necessity of having everything stamped in 4 languages, the front of the cards and boxes usually look much more tidy, not in the least because the text "transforms from (insert anything here) to robot and back" is missing. Probably due to the fact that having that text translated into 4 languages would be too crowded for the front of the card.
And there you have it! Another interesting MB G1 Transformers release for any G1 collector to sink his teeth into. This one definitely shouldn't be missing from your collection!
Thanks to Manny Galeano for the photograph of Huffer from his collection. Check out his website at www.smokescreen-38.com.

Q: Using jQuery how do I get window height I've tried to use jQuery to get the window height/width in the onload() method of an HTML page however it just throws an exception. I'm obviously doing something wrong as I'm a beginner with HTML5, Javascript and jQuery.
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Testing Javascript Raphael</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

Javascript our_script.js:
//var paper = new Raphael(10, 50, 320, 200);
//var circle = paper.circle(50, 40, 10);
//circle.attr("fill", "#f00");
//circle.attr("stroke","#fff");

window.onload = function() {
//var paper = new Raphael(document.getElementById('canvas_container'), $( window ).width(), $( height).height());
var height = $( window ).height(); // ** This call does not work - exception is thrown and height variable remains undefined.
//var paper = new Raphael(document.getElementById('canvas_container'), 500,500);
//var circle = paper.circle(100, 100, 80);
//for(var i = 0; i < 5; i+=1) {
    //var multiplier = i*5;
    //paper.circle(250 + (2*multiplier), 100 + multiplier, 50 - multiplier)
//}
//var rectangle = paper.rect(200, 200, 250, 100);
//var ellipse = paper.ellipse(200, 400, 100, 50);
};

window.onresize = function() {
  var r = $( window ).height();
  var w = $( window ).width();
};

$( window ).load( function() {
  var height = $( window ).height();
  var width = $( window ).width();
});

Am I unable to query the window object for height/width in the onload call?

A: Ah, you've commented out the relevant part. You're attempting to use the height variable within the window.load function, but that variable doesn't exist in that scope, nor would your second window.load event have been evaluated yet.
There's no sense in doubling up your code here. Move all your window.load code here into a single function. jQuery isn't limited to use within its own event listeners, as you seem to have done here.

by Alex Kava – Book 8 in the Maggie O'Dell series begins with some seemingly unrelated problems: an ice chest with wrapped and severed body parts discovered floating off the Pensacola Beach coast, an unknown infection killing US soldiers who've suffered limb loss at war, and a category 4 hurricane bearing down on the Florida panhandle. The first problem is Maggie's, the second is her almost-love-interest's (Benjamin Platt's), and the third is everyone's. Over the three days that the main storyline covers, the plots overlap and complicate each other, until Maggie and Benjamin together figure out the connections, then use their separate expertises to deal with the aforementioned problems… except for the hurricane. That one is left up to Mother Nature. (Thank goodness. It would've strained incredulity if either of our main characters had tried or been able to avert a hurricane, after all.)
Until the last eighth of this book, Damaged rocks. The pacing is good, the storyline fresh and the writing tight, with a minimum of distractions (e.g., intra- or interagency politics play virtually no role here… for a change). The reader can focus on this book without feeling bogged down by the last 7 novels in the series, although I am glad I read those first. (Of course, you already know I have OCD a peeve about reading a series in order.)
This book has a new-to-us secondary cast of characters, with only two carryovers from previous novels playing a part here. The most fully fleshed out of these new characters is Liz, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. She is the novel's first POV character and, except for Maggie, she's also the last. It feels like Kava really related to her and I wouldn't be surprised to find Kava writing books with Liz as the main character sometime in the future.
When I started the book, I was afraid Kava may have "jumped the shark" by adding a hurricane into the mix, with the ticking clock of the storm's pending arrival, but Kava uses it more cleverly than that, making it a major factor in the main mystery of the book.
Kava pulls a little sleight of hand plot-wise to have the storm weaken and veer off to the east just hours before landfall, sparing her characters the worst effects of a bad hurricane, which felt like a bit of a cheat to me. After all, I had spent hundreds of pages expecting a Pensacola landfall that didn't materialize. Worse, Kava keeps most of the storm offstage, so to speak. There is one action sequence that takes place as the second rain band reaches Pensacola, then nothing until the storm has passed. We are told that the storm just missed the city, but we don't experience that from the characters' POVs.
The other major letdown is the final confrontation. We see it from Liz' POV, when it should be from Maggie's. After all, she is the one who must, in order to capture the bad guy and save his latest victims, overcome both her fear of flying and the terror she experienced early in the book when watching Liz exiting a Coast Guard helicopter into rough seas. Kava doesn't let us see any of that struggle, although she has hinted earlier in the book that Maggie's mental and emotional compartmentalizing (her survival mechanism so far) was breaking down and that Maggie might suffer significant fallout from that. Instead, Kava has us watch the final confrontation, then cut to two days later, when Maggie is in another city (Jacksonville, Fla.) to follow up on the implications of the crimes/problems she and Platt have solved.
After more than 350 pages of building tension, the readers deserve a better, more comprehensive denouement. We deserve to see the knot coming unravelled and Maggie against the wall. After all, we have been in her corner for an entire series, cheering for her, aching for her, worrying about her… we need to see Maggie triumph over all obstacles, especially the inner ones.
Perhaps Kava was pressured to wrap it up at the end, or perhaps she felt overwhelmed by the task of fully fleshing it out. I'd much rather it was the first of these than the last, as I don't want to believe Kava was intimidated by her own book. Either way, the result is a good, but ultimately unsatisfying, read. (finished 7/5/11)

Melville-based drug distributor reaches $1.25 million settlement in opioid case
A Long Island drug distributor reached a $1.25 million settlement Monday.
Melville-based Henry Schein has agreed to end a suit brought by Ohio prosecutors. At the same time, several of the nation's largest drug companies reached their own settlements over opioid-related lawsuits.
A team of attorneys in Cleveland claimed a small victory in the fight against the opioid epidemic. Three pharmaceutical companies agreed to settle with two counties in Ohio for $215 million immediately. Another company will pay $20 million.
Henry Schein also says it will make a $1 million donation to an educational foundation teaching the proper use and prescription of opioids, and $250,000 will go toward Summit County's expenses.
The case was supposed to be the first federal multi-district litigation involving the opioid crisis, but a deal was struck in the early hours of Monday dismissing the trial, awarding Summit and Cuyahoga counties in Ohio with big money.
One major potential plaintiff, Walgreens, was left off the case.
Plaintiff co-counsel Paul J. Hanly says, "We realized the pharmacies should stand alone and that's why Walgreens is now being severed out."
Walgreens released a statement reads in part, "We never sold opioid medications to pain clinics, internet pharmacies or the 'pill mills' that fueled the national opioid crisis." The pharmacy may have to defend itself again in a different trial.
Monday's settlement is the first case of more than 2,700 plaintiff communities across the U.S. The settlement only ends suits brought by the two Ohio counties.
As part of the settlement, none of the companies admitted wrongdoing.
