AS THEY PUMMEL EACH OTHER, the cable and phone industries agree on one thing: They need to get their networks onto the Internet Protocol, or IP. At their respective trade shows this month, the communications rivals extolled the benefits of sending voice, data and video over a single network built of the inexpensive gear originally developed for the Internet. "Everybody has made up their minds that IP is the basic protocol," says Harald Braun, who runs the U.S. carrier business for Siemens Communications. "They don't want to do anything else."
Phone companies hope to save money, by collapsing several layers of legacy networks into one IP-based system. The BT Group (ticker: BT) hopes to save nearly $2 billion a year after its British Telecom system goes all-IP in a few years. Here in the U.S., the telcos are focused on using IP to offer television programming, with a technology known as IPTV, so they can catch up with their cable rivals with the triple- play service offering of voice, fast Internet and video. Cable firms, meanwhile, want to use IP to stay a step ahead of the telcos, by adding wireless service to the triple play -- to make "fourplay."
This migration to IP is a trend welcomed by Siemens (ADR: SI), Alcatel (ALA) and their U.S. rivals Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Juniper Networks (JNPR). At Cisco, orders from communications service providers helped shore up the April fiscal quarter. The enterprise and government customers who kick in most of Cisco revenues seem in no great hurry to replace their networks with Cisco's latest stuff -- at least not at a rate exceeding GDP growth -- but in the April quarter, U.S. service providers like Sprint and Comcast gave Cisco more than $500 million in orders, in the aggregate, an increase of more than 40% above the year-earlier period.
IPTV is already available from Bell Canada and from overseas carriers like Britain's HomeChoice, Italy's FastWeb and Hong Kong's PCCW (ADR: PCW). Proponents of IPTV like to point to PCCW's success with its broadband TV offering. In the year after its launch in March 2004, almost 60% of PCCW customers subscribed -- a faster takeoff than cable TV when that was new. Churn has dropped, while average-revenue-per-user has grown by over 50%.
The technology remains nascent. According to IPTV Magazine, there were 2.1 million IPTV subscribers worldwide at the end of the March 2005 quarter. The technology will enter the big time with Verizon Communications (VZ) and SBC Communications (SBC). San Antonio-based SBC has been the loudest of the two, with plans for field trials this summer and a service launch around year end. Its IPTV vendors are Alcatel, Scientific-Atlanta (SFA), Microsoft (MSFT) and Amdocs (DOX).
Like most large U.S. phone and cable firms, SBC chose Microsoft software to run its IPTV service. Microsoft wants its software in charge of everything from the video-on-demand servers to the digital-rights controls in the videos and music purchased by subscribers. But there have been unsettling delays in the IPTV rollout schedule of Microsoft's first end-to-end IPTV customer, Swisscom. A host of firms are praying that a stumble by Microsoft will give them opportunities for their IPTV components, among them Siemens, the London-listed Orca Interactive and Nasdaq-listed firms like NDS (ADR: NNDS) and the tiny Open TV (OPTV), and SeaChange Intl. (SEAC).
Amdocs is supplying SBC with the back-office software for advertising, ordering and billing within SBC's IPTV universe. IPTV could have interesting effects on television advertising and sales, says Eran Wagner, the Amdocs vice president in charge of IPTV products. Localized banners and pop-ups would be affordable for the sort of small businesses that historically have been limited to the Yellow Pages directories (which, by the way, is a market already served by SBC and Amdocs). As SBC fills out its customer-history database, the promotions can become individualized and impulse-oriented. A viewer could click one a screen symbol to order delivery of her usual pizza from her favorite local shop.
Best Buy reported a better quarter than Circuit City. But Merrill warned of a price war among the disk-drive firms Seagate, Maxtor and Western Digital. Yet the Naz gained 1% amid swings in tech-linked NYSE stocks.
With no physical inventory and a single monthly bill, the phone company could become a low-cost distribution channel for digital products like video, music and games. "Think of carriers as content mega-stores," says Amdocs' Wagner. "They want to be the Wal-Mart of communications."
With the Internet Protocol at the heart of everyone's network, communications can "converge." You could start a cellular phone call from your car, and your handset would hand it off seamlessly to your home's less-expensive broadband connection, when you walk in your front door. Your television could play your voicemails.
The first fixed/mobile convergence service was announced last week by BT Telecom. The British company says that its "Fusion" service could save cellular customers between 40%-95% off the cost of an all-cellular call. Outdoors, the Fusion handset uses the Vodafone cellular network. Indoors, it bypasses the cellular network and uses the short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth to connect to a basestation that routes the call inexpensively over the wired Internet. When generally available in September, the Fusion service will use a Bluetooth-equipped cellular handset from Motorola (MOT). In a year, BT will offer handsets from Motorola, Nokia (NOK) and Samsung that use Wi-Fi, for a longer reach.
BT has recruited 18 other carriers around the world to a standard for fixed-mobile convergence. In the U.S., one ally is AT&T (soon to be a subsidiary of SBC), which itself announced plans last week for wireless coverage in Atlanta using WiMax, the citywide version of Wi-Fi. SBC, for its part, plans to offer converged service between its partially-owned wireless carrier Cingular and its broadband service.
Cable firms won't be left behind. Seimens' Harald Braun says that his company's expertise in the convergence technology called "IP Multimedia Subsystem" gives it a leg up over Cisco. Cable firms have asked him to bid on a field trial of converged wireless and cable phone service that would start this fall. Someday, you'll pay for everything in your life on either your phone bill or your cable bill.
THEY DON'T LOOK ESPECIALLY EXCITING, we'll give you that, but what's inside the Oyxride Extreme batteries from Panasonic is nothing less than a high-tech revolution. The batteries provide a power source for today's portable high-drain electronic devices that can last, as Panasonic puts it, "twice as long as a typical alkaline battery."
If anything, that's an understatement. We got nearly three times the number of camera flashes, and a faster recovery between flashes, as well as two-and-a-half times normal recording ability on a mini-tape recorder. The secret: proprietary new materials and a new "vacuum pouring" manufacturing process.
Panasonic, part of Matsushita Electric, has turned up the heat on Energizer Holdings, home of the bunny, and Gillette, whose Duracell brand is the world leader in alkaline batteries. Talk about power struggles.
AS THEY PUMMEL EACH OTHER, the cable and phone industries agree on one thing: They need to get their networks onto the Internet Protocol, or IP.

Build Instructions

		<input type="checkbox" checked="checked">

				Note: Some of the following directions refer to a shell window. This refers
				to the command prompt environment/window normally used on your system:

cmd.exe command prompt window for Windows* systems

sh, bash, csh, ksh, etc. (or compatible) shell window for Windows*, Linux* or macOS* systems

			Set up the environment for using Intel TBB:

To set up the environment for Windows* OS:

			<input type="checkbox">

					It is strongly recommended to set up the environment when installing Intel TBB.
					Do this by selecting the appropriate check-box during the install. However, if the environment is not set up
					during installation, or you wish to build for an alternate architecture or Microsoft* Visual Studio* version,
					it may be set up, for a given type of shell window, by using one of the following commands:

For cmd.exe (command prompt):

<installdir>/bin/tbbvars.bat (arch) [vs]

where:

(arch) argument represents target architecture. Its possible values are 'ia32' or 'intel64'.

[vs] argument represents target version of Microsoft* Visual Studio*. Its possible values are:

'vs<msvs_version>' - to use TBB with Microsoft* Visual Studio* <msvs_version> runtime DLLs, e.g.: tbbvars intel64 vs2015

Note: for the most up to date supported versions of Microsoft* Visual Studio*, see the release notes.

'all' - to use TBB statically linked with Microsoft Visual C++ runtime.

If [vs] is not set the 'all' value will be used by default.

To set up the environment for Linux* OS and macOS*:

			<input type="checkbox">

					The environment may be set up, for a given type of shell window, by using one of the following commands:

For sh, bash, ksh, dash (or compatibles):

. <installdir>/bin/tbbvars.sh (arch) [platform [TBBROOT_detection_mode]]

For csh (or compatibles):

source <installdir>/bin/tbbvars.csh (arch) [platform [TBBROOT_detection_mode]]

where:

(arch) argument represents target architecture. Its possible values are 'ia32' or 'intel64'.

[platform] argument represents target platform. Its possible values are 'linux' or 'android'.

[TBBROOT_detection_mode] argument represents TBBROOT path detection method. Its only possible value is 'auto_tbbroot'. In this case the environment variable TBBROOT is detected automatically by using the tbbvars script directory path.

			Environment setup need only be performed once per shell window to be used.

Always source tbbvars.sh or tbbvars.csh rather than executing them directly.

If the arguments to the sourced script are ignored (consult documentation for your shell) the alternative way to specify target is environment variables COMPILERVARS_ARCHITECTURE to pass (arch) to the script and COMPILERVARS_PLATFORM to pass [platform].

			Build each example by using one of the following methods:

To build by using a Microsoft* Visual Studio* project (Windows* systems):

			<input type="checkbox">

Identify the solution (*.sln) file for the example you wish to build and run. The *.sln file for each example is in the example's msvs sub-directory.

Open the project by using one of the following methods:

Navigate to the *.sln file from My Computer, by using Windows Explorer, or by using another file browser. Double-click the *.sln file to invoke Microsoft* Visual Studio* and open the project.

Invoke Microsoft* Visual Studio* from the Start menu and use the "Open Project" dialog to navigate to and open the project.

Press <ctrl-F5> to build and run the example.

If you copied an example to another place separately from libraries you need to
				set %TBBROOT% variable pointing to <installdir> folder.

To build by using a Xcode* IDE project (macOS* systems):

			<input type="checkbox">

				Note: Xcode* project instructions are not applicable for the Intel TBB Sample Bundle for Intel® System Studio
				because Intel System Studio does not support macOS*. For additional information, see the
				Release Notes.

Identify the project (*.xcodeproj) file for the example you wish to build and run. The *.xcodeproj file is in the example's xcode sub-directory.

Open the project by using one of the following methods:

Navigate to the *.xcodeproj file by using the Finder.Double-click the *.xcodeproj file to invoke the Xcode* IDE and open the project.

Invoke the Xcode* IDE and use the "File -> Open" dialog to navigate to and open the project.

Press <Apple-R>, or press the "Build and Go" button in the toolbox, to build and run the example.

To build by using a Makefile (Windows*, Linux* or macOS* systems):

			<input type="checkbox">

Open a shell window

For Windows* systems, make sure this shell window has the proper environment
					defined for use with Microsoft* Visual Studio*. Such shell can be invoked from the Start menu, under Microsoft* Visual Studio*, Microsoft* Visual Studio Tools*, Microsoft* Visual Studio* Command Prompt.

Set up the environment in this shell window for use with Intel TBB.

See above for how to set up the environment for Windows*, Linux* or macOS* systems.

Unless you installed Intel TBB yourself, you may not have write permissions to the directory
				containing the example. In this case, make a copy of the example, and use the copy for the following steps.

In the shell window, navigate to the directory for the example
				(or to the directory for the copy of the example if you made one in the previous step).

Use one or more of the following commands to build and run the example.
				Here, make refers to the make command normally used on your system: this could be
				nmake, gmake, or make on Windows* systems, or make or gmake on Linux* or macOS* systems.

<tt>make</tt>

Default build and run. Equivalent to 'make release test'.

<tt>make release</tt>

Compile and link against the release version of Intel TBB runtime library. The resulting executable is left in the directory for the example.

<tt>make debug</tt>

Compile and link against the debug version of Intel TBB runtime library. The resulting executable is left in the directory for the example.

<tt>make test</tt>

Run an executable previously produced by one of the above commands.

<tt>make [(above options or targets)] CXX={icl, icc}</tt>

Build and run as above, but use Intel® C++ Compiler instead of default, native compilers (e.g., icl instead of cl.exe on Windows* systems, or icc instead of g++ on Linux* or macOS* systems).

<tt>make [(above options or targets)] offload=mic</tt>

Build and run the offload version of an example for Intel® Many Integrated Core (Intel® MIC) Architecture.

						Note: Only Intel® MIC Architecture with Linux* based host is currently supported.

<tt>make clean</tt>

Remove any executables or intermediate files produced by the above commands.

Basically, what it means is that students learn curricular subjects in a language other than their mother tongue. The idea is for them to learn both content and language at the same time.
My blog, http://acliltoclimb.blogspot.com, is dedicated to CLIL methodology, with special emphasis on ICT in the classsroom.


Ugandan musical star Bosmic Original recently had one of his songs banned from radio play in Uganda. The song "Mac Onywalo buru" translates loosely into "From Blazing Flames to mere Ashes." The thrust of the song is that if the late Ugandan rulers Milton Obote and Gen. Tito Okello were resurrected, both would kill themselves on account of their respective son's close association with the country's U.S.-backed dictator of 32 years Gen. Yoweri Museveni.
Obote's son Jimmy Akenna is a member of parliament and married to the country's Lands Minister Betty Amongi who is associated with the regime's violent land-grabbing operations; Okello's son, Oryem Henry, is the Minister of State for International Affairs in the regime.
There were reports of threats against Bosmic by regime elements after his song was banned. But rather than be silenced Bosmic has released a defiant new song called "Who Is Gone? Who Is Next?" following the recent assassination of a Ugandan Member of Parliament, Ibrahim Abiriga. The song laments the collapse of law and order in Uganda with frequent deaths by "accident, assassination and poisoning" rather than "natural death."
In one part, Bosmic wonders whether he or Bobi Wine, another popular entertainer who is critical of dictator Museveni and is now a Member of Parliament, could be targeted next for assassination.
Here is an abbreviated version of the lyrics to "Who Is Gone? Who Is Next?"
But how can people die in vain?

Council Tackles Race Dialogue
November 17, 2011 Maria Jayne News 0
This last Council of Organizations meeting began with a discussion of the "colored only" sign found on the water fountain in the Humanities Building and the other hate crimes that took place on campus last week.
Student Association (SA) President Terrell Coakley spoke about what happened and announced that there will be forums on Thursday at 9 p.m. in Student Union (SU) 401 and on Nov. 30 from 4 to 8 p.m. in SU Multipurpose Room.
He said he feels that the administrators and police are doing a good job and that while this was a terrible thing, conversation about the incidents are necessary. Although there are ongoing discussions in separate organizations, Coakley said there are never all-inclusive conversations about this topic and that must be changed.
"We as a community do not have a discussion about race together," said Coakley. "We are not trying to encourage this, not a race war but a race discussion. This impacts all of us."
Coakley believes that the planned forums and open discussions of race and personal bias or prejudice will allow for a greater understanding.
"Once we genuinely try to understand each other there is nothing that is going to stop us," he said.
Following this discussion, Council of Organizations Chair Shayna Bentley announced that the General Programming fund (GP) is now under $1,000.
GP is usually more than $100,000 and last year at the end of the fall semester there was about $10,000 left, said Bentley.
According to Bentley, SA added 40 new clubs this semester and there are almost 200 clubs in total.
"There is no money left this semester and it's been gone for about two weeks now," said Bentley. "We can either amend the constitution and have more money for General Programming or we could potentially ask for club consolidation."
The next topic addressed was senate elections led by Senate Chair Alberto Aquino. SA has 25 senators representing different facets of the school. There are currently 15 positions open for next semester and Aquino will provide information the openings to anyone interested.
"We are direct representatives of 8,000 students and we get reports every single week," said Aquino. "It's an overall blend of perspective [and] gives you the tools to get things done in the school."
Aquino said if students are interested in a senate position, he or she should go to the SA office for more information. Elections will be held online through my.newpaltz.edu and all names will be online.
Following this, Bentley introduced a video describing Planga. Planga is an online social calendar for colleges. Mike Patterson, director of student activities and union services, sent this video to the Student Association. Other campuses are currently using it, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several SUNY schools.
"It's kind of like Facebook. Go and log in and it's there," said Bentley. "We can ask administration to add it into the my.newpaltz.edu system."
The final address before the meeting broke off into houses for discussion was led by Village Trustee Ariana Basco, SUNY New Paltz alumna, former-NYPIRG coordinator and co-chair of the Environmental Task Force.
Basco said that the Village Board has passed a resolution to declare the first week of October as Local Food Week and wants to further this by making local food readily available on campus.
She then presented a petition made by Students for Sustainable Agriculture requesting more local food be served in the eateries on campus. She said this is ideal timing because the Sodexo contract is up in about a year form now.
"We want to make sure you're eating food that is really good for you," said Basco. "We have 600 signatures already, going for about 1000."

NAB lending
NAB lending misconduct
Are you struggling to repay or have you defaulted on a NAB home loan? You may have a claim for compensation if against the lender if it failed to recognise that your loan was unsuitable for you at the time you took out the loan.
In November 2017 NAB sacked or disciplined over 50 of its banking staff for breaching its home loan lending policies. NAB lending admitted that as a result of these breaches, thousands of mortgages it issued to customers may be based on inaccurate information.
This followed a report from investment bank UBS in September 2017 which found that Australian banks have issued about $500 billion of mortgage debt based on inaccurate or unreliable information about the borrower's ability to make repayments. That equates to close to one-third of home loans.
NAB's misconduct follows a string of scandals in Australia's banks over recent years, and a recent debate about how thoroughly banks verify the information provided by customers.
NAB loans could be in breach contraventions of the responsible lending provisions of National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth) (the National Credit Act).
The National Credit Act provides consumer protections to ensure that credit providers make reasonable inquiries about a borrower's financial situation and assess whether a loan contract will be unsuitable for the borrowers.
NAB says it wrote to affected customers, requesting they participate in a review of their loan. It told the corporate regulator ASIC about the problems in late 2015.
If you are struggling to repay or if you have defaulted on a NAB home loan or were offered a loan review by NAB, you may have a claim and you should get advice about your rights.

In the past three years, much has been reported about bus accidents. Particularly bus drivers being distracted by cell phones. A number of accidents have been attributable to driver error based on inattentiveness. While the investigation has not yet revealed whether the driver was texting behind the wheel or talking on a cell phone, this would be the type of action that would lead to civil liability.
Essentially, bus drivers (like other Northern California motorists) have a duty to use reasonable care while driving. This duty includes the obligation to reduce speed on certain roads. Excessive speed could be seen as something that breaches this duty, which could make the driver legally responsible for the ensuing injuries.
In the meantime, the bus driver was not arrested and alcohol was not suspected to be a factor in the crash.


I will try answer you both. I think that to make it realistic it all came down to "order of operation". If you add a diffusion fx in post, make it to be in the very first step of the chain, or at least after the WB/exposure corrections. The grading, look and fxs have to come after that. raw footage ▶ Diffusion ▶ corrections ▶ secondary corrections ▶ grading/look/ mastering or raw footage ▶ corrections ▶ secondary corrections ▶ Diffusion ▶grading/look/ mastering Tiffen has it's Dfx plugins witch are really nice, but i also use the Red Giant Looks diffusion, those look great also. Oh! and make sure you are working on 32bit color space. Thanks! Yes. I use the Viltrox EF-m2 its way cheaper. Also, it's a tiny bit softer than the Metabones, but for my taste it helps to reduce the super sharpness of Panasonic cameras.
I used Tiffen black pro mist in the past, but more and more often im opting for using diffusion in post production. Except for some very minor thing i found no difference in using diffusion in post, and you got the advantage of adjusting it shot by shot. This was a very tight production, and time was short. So I decided to shot very clean and then finish in post. Although the vintage Pentax glass has some very particular look.
Regular GH5 I have a 50 f1.4, really sharp wide open, but not acutance. I have used the 35mm f2 in the past, its excellent but hard to find. The only problem with my 50mm is that when you stop it down color start to vary every stop, its prone to go more to a yellow tint.
Hello! I have new stills from a recent shot I was DPing. It's another theme, Kinda of game of thrones thing 😉. I think this is a good point of reference to see how color look in this type of forest/swamp with those costumes and production design. Here i used some old vintage Takumar lenses because of the organic look they have, i think they help to sell the fantasy theme. I use the same procedure I always do, and my style of grade using GHa Daylight to LogC. And diffusion LOT of diffusion!
Well the p4k has the advantage of raw, the IQ is better.
I mentioned it but the director really wanted the full frame look, also there are some situations of low key lighting and despite i always light my scenes, the sony do respond really well in low key. On one hand i did some test shots and was able to get some nice color from the Sony. But honestly i prefer the GH5 for IQ and if i can I'm gonna steal some shots with mine for the film.
Hi @Sage is there a Sony a7 version coming some day? I'm currently DPing a Feature and we are using the Sony a7sII.
Love the push is Nikon doing for this 2019... Raw Hdmi output, more body for different budgets. The only thing that is weird for me is the D5700. Imho i't does't make much sense to launch a new "DSLR" style for the lower market, because in general the entry level user looks for the more "practical" features and easy to use. New shooters are in general younger people, and they come from using their phones or some type of hybrid camera. I Think they should aim to a Aps-c mirrorless like the m50, cheap but more prosumer and better build. The DSLR market are more the old professionals, the people with experience that still like the mirror system. i don't know, is the way i see it.
I usually never record or register my productions layout but if I find some time I'll try to write something about it. If you have any specific question you wanna know, write me a private massage and I'll try to put it on a different thread so we don't go off topic.
Nop. As i mentioned before, I have keep using the camera and never faced the issue again. it's obviously a fixed noise pattern issue, there's no fix. Just don't underexpose too much!!!
No, I STILL use CineD, I shared the frames in Vlog just because is the more requested one.
I downscale in the final process when mastering. The GHA is a different approach, with LogC makes the GH5 more universal to work with, its a style i´m more used to.
And this is the final look i'm aiming... For this I use the V3 to LogC and then a B&W film lut.
Hi Sergio, it's been a long time since i had this issue. I have send my camera to panasonic, also tested 2 more models, tried different recording modes, NTSC, PAL, etc. 4k, 6k... Nothing changed, it's there. So a came to the conclusion that it's a fixed noise pattern in the sensor, something that seems all GH5 have. It's a pity but I found it's an issue that rarely bothers, it generally appear when you underexpose too much the image, like any noise pattern. Since then I had the opportunity to work in several projects with the camera and this have never bothered my again, it's not something that appears in general use.
Yeah, i like the lower highlights but film, back in the day, when processed had a very bright punch and higher ceiling. Love that punch with film, which with this LogC conversion is more achievable. Different looks from different eras.
@Sage i wanna tell you, if next year everything goes great, i'm gonna be shooting my next feature and i'm really considering using the Gh5 with your lut, a really portable and cheap Alexa!
I shot a music video this weekend, here are some stills using the new V3. This are from HD slow motion, so there is a little loss in quality. I applied noise reduction to smooth the compression and make the grade more seamless. All was capture with CineD. The first are with the "Main" lut and then corrected, and the second ones are my grade with LogC.
@Sage Sure! here are Vlog stills.
Hi everybody! here i wanna share some stills from a little "fiction/experimental" project I shot with some friends. All this are graded with GHa Log-C.
That rolling shutter looks like from the old Nikon D90!!! I don't want to attack to any youtuber in the list, but it's really weird nobody mentions that Awful rolling shutter. I mean, they have a big responsibility been the voice of influence to costumers when come the time to make a buying choice. For me it feel irresponsible to not cover this type of details. There are even videos with the title "what nobody talk about the..." and they say nothing about rolling shutter!!! what the hell is wrong with this people!?!?


Bus aggregation platform Shuttl is set to raise $11 million (around Rs 76 crore) in a fresh round of funding from a clutch of investors including e-commerce behemoth Amazon, a person familiar with the development told VCCircle.
Japan-based Dentsu Ventures is the other new investor in the picture, the above-mentioned person said on the condition of anonymity.
Existing investors Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Times Internet Limited are also expected to contribute to the fresh round of funding.
Ambiga Subramanian, co-founder of data analytics MuSigma, will also invest in her personal capacity, the person added. Subramanian is currently working on her own social networking application called hyphen.social.
Gurugram-based Shuttl's filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs reveal that it has already received around $5.6 million (Rs 38.30 crore in current exchange rates) in a tranche led by Dentsu Ventures, which contributed Rs 12.8 crore ($1.85 million). Subramanian has invested about $1.5 million (Rs 9.56 crore) while existing investors Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Times Internet Limited (TIL) accounted for the rest.
Shuttl's last known external funding took place in 2015, when it had raised $20 million in a Series A round which saw participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sequoia India and Times Internet Ltd.
Back-of-the-envelope estimates by VCCircle suggest that Shuttl's fresh round of funding will be raised at a post-money valuation of roughly $80-85 million (Rs 550-590 crore). This would represent a nearly 80% jump in its post-money valuation compared to the 2015 round.
E-mail queries sent to Amazon as well as Shuttl co-founders Deepansh Malviya and Amit Singh did not elicit a response till the time of publishing this report.
Shuttl's fundraise comes months after homegrown ride-hailing unicorn Ola abruptly decided to shut its bus unit, Ola Shuttle.
App-based bus services have found the going tough. These startups have struggled to scale up and have often run into trouble with regulatory authorities and public transport services.
The exit of a high-profile player like Ola had cast a shadow over the future and viability of the bus aggregation business in the country.
Owned by Super Highway Labs Pvt. Ltd, Shuttl was founded in April 2015 by Singh, an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, and IIT-Kanpur graduate Malviya.
Currently operational in Delhi-NCR, the platform provides shuttle services across more than 50 routes with about 600 buses, averaging around 30,000 rides a day. Shuttl also separately caters to corporates.
In addition, it also provides vehicles for rentals, according to information available on its platform.
Singh recently told news portal Moneycontrol that Shuttl was planning to expand beyond Delhi-NCR.
According to Shuttl's filings with MCA, it posted operational revenue of Rs 14.34 crore in the financial year 2016-17, a seven-fold increase from Rs 2.23 crore the previous fiscal. Its net losses widened to Rs 59.07 crore, up from Rs 52.54 crore in 2015-16.
Shuttl is among the best-funded players in the space. Other bus aggregation startups include ZipGo and Cityflo. The trio position themselves as cheaper and greener alternatives in metros, providing long-distance trunk routes connecting housing suburbs with business hubs.
In April last year, VCCircle reported that Bengaluru-based ZipGo Technologies Pvt. Ltd had raised Rs 33.4 crore ($5.2 million) in a Series A funding round co-led by ON Mauritius, part of Omidyar Network, and Chennai-based early-stage investment firm VenturEast Advisors.
Cityflo had received $750,000 (Rs 4.9 crore) in seed funding from IDG Ventures and an unnamed investor in late-2015.
Besides investing in its Indian e-commerce arm, where it has earmarked $5 billion for its operations, Amazon has also put money into a few other ventures in India.
Last month, Amazon led a $12 million (around Rs 80 crore) investment in Mumbai-based online insurance startup Acko General Insurance Co. Ltd.
In April, it invested $22 million (Rs 144 crore) in Bengaluru-based lending platform Capital Float.
These investments are part of the US e-tailing giant's strategy to ramp up its India play as it takes on the newly formed Walmart-Flipkart combine in the country.

Study finds 'biodegradable' plastic bags that can still hold shopping after being discarded for three years.
Big plastic bag myth exposed
2nd May 2019 5:00 AM
Shoppers who try to do the right thing for the environment and use biodegradable plastic bags might want to sit down for this.
Plastic bags that claim to be biodegradable, are anything but in some cases. A new research paper has revealed that in certain scenarios they can still carry a full load of shopping three years after they were thrown away.
Seen as a solution to the globe's increasingly urgent plastic pollution problem, disposable bags are supposed to decompose if they are buried in landfill, or wash into the sea.
The study, published in Environmental Science and Technology, examined biodegradable, oxo-biodegradable, compostable, and standard plastic bags for a period of three years.
The bags were exposed to three natural environments: left in open-air, buried in soil, and submersed in seawater, as well as in controlled laboratory conditions. The range of environmentally friendly bags fared differently in each environment.
After nine months exposure in the open-air, all bag materials had disintegrated into fragments.
In the marine environment, the compostable bag completely disappeared within three months. The same compostable bag type was still present in the soil environment after 27 months but could no longer hold weight without tearing.
However two of the bags - technically known as oxo-biodegradable - were still able to carry shopping after spending three years in the ground or covered in seawater.
"It is therefore not clear that the oxo-biodegradable or biodegradable formulations provide sufficiently advanced rates of deterioration," the researchers from the UK's University of Plymouth wrote.
After three years, some bags were perfectly robust.
There have been at least four reports of dead whales being found with huge amounts of plastic waste in their stomach, causing them to starve, in the last year.
Professor Richard Thompson, of the International Marine Litter Research Unit, who was involved in the study said it showed that certain bags might be polluting the ocean when consumers expect them to decompose.
"This research raises a number of questions about what the public might expect when they see something labelled as biodegradable. We demonstrate here that the materials tested did not present any consistent, reliable and relevant advantage in the context of marine litter," he said.
He previously gave evidence to a government inquiry in the UK that led to a small levy on plastic bags in the country. He called for new standards to be imposed on bag manufacturers.
"Our study emphasises the need for standards relating to degradable materials, clearly outlining the appropriate disposal pathway and rates of degradation that can be expected," he said.
Some have suggested that the manufacturers of the bags - many of which reside in China - could be skimping on the required biodegradable additives to make them truly compostable.
Research fellow Imogen Napper, who led the study as part of her PhD, said: "After three years, I was really amazed that any of the bags could still hold a load of shopping. For a biodegradable bag to be able to do that was the most surprising.
"When you see something labelled in that way, I think you automatically assume it will degrade more quickly than conventional bags. But, after three years at least, our research shows that might not be the case."
In Australia, Coles and Woolworths have banned single-use plastic shopping bags across their stores.

The White House said Wednesday it does not matter that U.S. President Donald Trump is a liar, knowingly spreads lies and retweets fake hate videos.
"Whether it is a real video or not. I think you are focusing on the wrong thing. The threat is real. That is what the president is talking about, that is what the president is focused on dealing with, those real threats and those are real no matter how you look at it," Huckabee Sanders said.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was responding to suggestions that the U.S. President was deliberately spreading false information after he retweeted allegedly fake videos posted online by far-right British ultra nationalist Jayda Fransen purportedly showing 'Muslims' doing terrible things.
None of the videos retweeted by the president and posted by Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, a hate group that advocates against Muslim immigrants in Britain, have been verified by British authorities.
Fransen has been convicted of hate crimes in the past and British law enforcement authorities said one of the videos retweeted by the U.S. President that purportedly shows a Muslim immigrant was false. The person in the video is a Dutch citizen, according to the authorities.
Trump's retweets have caused outrage in Britain with lawmakers calling for the visit by Trump to the United Kingdom next year be rescinded. British Prime Minister Theresa May, fearing an even bigger political mess refused to cancel the invitation.
In the United States, Republican Party leaders have kept quiet on the issue hoping that the uproar will blow past quickly.
White House spokeswoman Huckabee Sanders said Trump retweeted the videos to start a conversation on U.S. immigration and border security, two of Trump's favorite subjects because they rile up his far-right base.
It is not clear if Trump who has shown lack of awareness on many issues was aware that the videos may be fake before he decided to retweet them.

When giving a goat, you and your friends or loved ones can rest assured knowing that your four legged gift will be giving a family in need a leg up.
When you buy a goat through SOS Charity Gifts, you are supporting SOS Children's Villages Family Strengthening Programs in Eastern Europe and Western Africa. These representative gifts will provide SOS Children's Villages with the financial means to empower someone in the world who truly needs our help. We will use your gift where it will have the greatest impact in making lasting positive change, and will utilize your donation where the need is greatest.
Each goat is purchased in the region where it is needed the most. SOS Children's Villages ensures that its Family Strengthening Programs have the resources and/or training needed to ensure the provision of goats. When more goats are given than a community needs, SOS Children's Villages will ensure that your gift will provide similar assistance to people in different communities or will be used to meet additional needs in that same project.
So start building your gift basket and make a difference in the lives of children and families in need! Give a goat today!


Verizon Wireless is set to discontinue their phone upgrade credit and instead charge a fee to do so. The fee is in line with the competition, however, as AT&T recently doubled their upgrade fee from $18 to $36 for all smartphones.
Starting April 22, customers will be charged a $30 fee when upgrading to a new handset in addition to locking in a standard two-year service agreement. Verizon claims the fee is necessary if they want to continue offering the same level of customer service moving forward, which includes online educational tools, wireless workshops and consultations with customer service reps.
The company previously offered customers a $30 credit when upgrading to a new phone after completing at least 20 months of a two-year contract. Essentially this equates to you paying $60 more for a new phone versus before. Of course, it's still much cheaper to take this route than to buy an unsubsidized handset.
The fee is the latest in a series of recent changes affecting all wireless consumers, regardless of carrier. For example, AT&T is now allowing customers to unlock their iPhones for use on other networks when traveling abroad. The only catch is that your phone has to be out of contract to do so. Verizon and Sprint both allow iPhone unlocking regardless of contract status.
Other changes include modified data and text messaging plans such as removing unlimited plans and throttling high-usage data users in certain circumstances in addition to charging overage fees.

Gopher Absconds With Golfer's Diamond Ring and Heads Underground to Surprise His Sweetie With a Proposal
A devious gopher, who's a spitting image of Bill Murray's nemesis in 1980's Caddyshack, swipes an engagement ring that a golfer leaves unattended and dives underground to surprise his adorable red-bow-wearing girlfriend with a marriage proposal using the stolen solitaire.
That crazy scenario is the theme of a TV commercial promoting Farmers Insurance, a company whose agents "know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two."
According to the company, the "Romantic Rodent" commercial is based on an actual claim that Farmers covered for its customer when an engagement ring was lost at a golf course. In a creative twist, the ad offers a fanciful account of what became of the missing engagement ring. Farmers' creative team pins the blame on a romantic rodent, who swiped the ring to propose to his love interest.
The ad opens with Farmers Insurance spokesman J.K. Simmons walking #7-ranked professional golfer Rickie Fowler through the insurance company's Hall of Claims. The spokesman explains to the golf pro that his company has seen just about everything, so the company knows how to cover almost anything — "even a romantic rodent."
"A romantic what?" asks a baffled Fowler.
At this point, the scene flashes to a golf course, where a female golfer has just placed her engagement ring in the cup holder of her golf cart.
Watching the scene from a nearby burrow is a clever gopher, who makes a mad dash for the ring when the golfer leaves the cart unattended to take her shot.
After snatching the ring, the thief dives head first back into his hole, scampers through a narrow tunnel and finally meets up with his girlfriend, who is preparing an acorn dinner in her rodent kitchen.
With Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky's "Romeo & Juliet Love Theme" playing in the background, she slowly turns to see him holding a stunning diamond solitaire ring.
She drops an acorn as he goes down on one knee to chirp his proposal. The surprised girlfriend holds her paws to her face in excitement.
The scene transitions back to Simmons, who states, "I'm a sucker for proposals." On the wall of the company's Hall of Claims is a plaque commemorating the Romantic Rodent claim, which is dated 4/26/14. On the plaque are two silver golf balls and a needlepoint depiction of the two gophers holding a diamond ring.
The commercial, which made its TV debut earlier this year during the Farmers Insurance Open, is part of the company's "We Know From Experience" campaign. The company's ad agency of record is Santa Monica-based RPA. The commercial has had more than 1,150 national airings. Farmers Insurance serves more than 10 million households with 19 million individual policies.

The Nelson-Atkins Press Release
Donor Gifts Enhance European Collection
Home › News › Donor Gifts Enhance European Collection
Kansas City, MO. Dec. 14, 2021– Two paintings by French Impressionist artist Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) and two paintings by his near contemporary, French artist Louis Valtat (1869-1952), have been accepted as gifts by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, deepening the museum's holdings of Impressionist and Fauve works. The four paintings are already on view in the Bloch Galleries. Guillaumin's Morning-Rouen, 1904 was given by Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Bloch; donors Dr. Min-Hwan and Mrs. Yu-Fan Kao gave Guillaumin's Moret-sur-Loing, Evening Effect, 1896 as well as two paintings by Valtat, Wheat Field with Poppies, 1915 and Two Bouquets with Daffodils, Snowdrops, Daisies, and Pansies, painted around 1927.
"Collectively, these wonderful gifts bring depth to our collection," said Julián Zugazagoitia, Menefee D. and Mary Louise Blackwell CEO & Director of the Nelson-Atkins. "These works provide a bridge from the late 19th century to the 20th century, and we are deeply grateful for the Blochs and Kaos generosity and support of the Nelson-Atkins."
More than any other Impressionist artist, Guillaumin focused on scenes of industry or modern infrastructure. Like his fellow Impressionists, Guillaumin was interested in capturing light and color as it related to changing times of the day. As his career advanced, however, it was color more than light that caught his eye. These two interests combine in Morning-Rouen, painted in 1904.
Armand Guillaumin worked for the Paris Railway during the day, and later, for the Highways Department in the evenings; however, an 1891 lottery win allowed him to devote himself exclusively to painting. Unencumbered by financial pressures, he became emboldened with his palette, earning him the nickname, "the ferocious colorist."
Guillaumin trained at the Académie Suisse, where he befriended Cezanne and Pissarro, and he participated in six of the eight Impressionist exhibitions. Although he is primarily associated with that movement, many artists, including Van Gogh, considered him more progressive.
"Armand Guillaumin is an important artist who is long overdue for reexamination," said Aimee Marcereau DeGalan, Louis L. and Adelaide C. Ward Senior Curator, European Arts. "The Bloch and Kao gifts facilitate a greater understanding of two different periods of his work that will help in a larger reassessment of his place within the narrative of late 19th /early 20th century art."
"I share my parents' passion for French Impressionist paintings, and I am thrilled to donate this painting to the Nelson-Atkins," said Robert Bloch, who, in 2010, gave a much earlier work by Guillaumin as a promised gift to the museum. "Guillaumin was a highly accomplished artist and a member of the movement's earliest grouping."
Despite Guillaumin's bold, non-naturalistic palette, an Impressionist at his roots, he often noted the times of day in which he painted on the backs of his paintings. The Bloch Guillaumin of Rouen was painted in the morning, whereas the Kao Guillaumin Moret-sur-Loing was painted in the evening. These vividly colored canvases connect the museum's Impressionist collection with the Fauve period, as artists such as Henri Matisse and Andre Derain were well aware of Guillaumin's experiments with color. Louis Valtat was also well aware of Guillaumin's experiments in color and the two painted together in the South of France in Agay-Anthéor, a region famous for its coast of massive red rocks by the sea. Although the two Valtat paintings given by the Kao family do not feature this region, Valtat's Wheat Field with Poppies and Two Bouquets with Daffodils, Snowdrops, Daisies, and Pansies exhibit a similarly expressive palette with their use of pure, aggressive colors and muscular brushwork. In fact, it was this bold sense of color in Guillaumin's and Valtat's paintings that led collectors Dr. and Mrs. Min-Hwan and Yu-Fan Kao to acquire their works.
"We were drawn by the vibrancy of their palette and the gestural energy of their brushwork," said Dr. and Mrs. Kao. "It truly gives us great pleasure to share these works of art that we have known and loved for so many years with the Nelson-Atkins and Kansas City."
Cezanne once told Guillaumin he was an artist with a great future. Similarly, Paris dealer Ambrose Vollard told Valtat "patience, one day people will see that you are a great painter." With these collective gifts, and the opportunity to see them side-by-side with their artistic contemporaries, these sentiments ring true.
Armand Guillaumin (French, 1841–1927), Morning-Rouen, 1904, oil on canvas, 25 3/4 × 21 3/4 inches (65.41 × 55.25 cm), Purchase: acquired through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Bloch, 2021.20

I am not originallly from Saint Louis. I moved here in 2004 from Gary, Indiana after graduating high school in 2003.
I live in North City and I love it. I say that because I see the potential North City can return to. I lived in University City and South City before I moved to North City. We've been living here for 11 years now and work to continue to be a positive part of our community.
My husband has always been my biggest supporter. We've been married for 10 years and he continues to motivate and push me towards success.
I am the CEO and founder of Rajeeyah Sweet Naturals. I specialize in providing quality organic hair care products to men women and children with textured hair. We currently have 8 products that assist with moisture, growth, styling, and detangling. I started back in 2012 with a vision to help better care for textured hair based from my personal experiences.
I started my own business because I wanted everyone to experience quality handmade products. I started my natural journey back in 2011 and once trying a few products I noticed they didn't my hair soft and manageable. So I started making my own products just for my hair. Eventually I thought it would be more profitable if I made them to sell. Today I'm here managing a small business and love it!
I would describe my business as unique, proficient, and strategic.
We are very unique because we provide products that hasn't populated the market yet. Yes there may be products on the market claiming to be organic or formulated to textured hair yet they only just started that with the amount of women returning to their natural curls. We are proficient because I operate the daily administrative functions of the business yet we never had a late or missed order. We also have social media interns and brand ambassadors to assist us with marketing. Finally we are strategic in a way for a small business because we are finding ways to reach our target markets directly. We currently have three retail locations and working on expanding more.

Album Review: Fan Of A Fan | Chris Brown & Tyga
February 23, 2015 · by Evan Vogel	· in Reviews.	·
The year 2010 was a big year for hip-hop. Nicki Minaj cemented her place with Pink Friday, Wiz Khalifa dropped the stoner bible with Kush and OJ and Kanye West graced us with one of the greatest albums of all time, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. There was also a collaborative effort by two heavy-hitters that was being played in clubs and bedrooms everywhere. I'm talking, of course, about Chris Brown and Tyga's mixtape, Fan of a Fan. The mixtape, naturally, was a hit and even landed at #2 on Datpiff.com's list of "Top Mixtapes of 2010". It had what you would expect from Chris Brown and Tyga as a tag team duo; songs suited for the bedroom and the rest, meant to be played through the type of speakers you would find in a club. Nothing out of the ordinary, but what set it apart from similar projects was its stellar production, undeniably catchy choruses and punchlines that would make Lil Wayne proud.
There had been talks of a follow up tape in subsequent years, but the fans never saw this come to fruition…until now. Tyga and Chris Brown had, in fact, been working on a follow-up, but instead of releasing another mixtape, they swung for the fences, grabbed a few A-list features and asked us to pay for it. The question then becomes, do we just bring that five-year old mixtape back into our iTunes library for free, or does this new project provide enough quality new material to warrant a slightly lighter wallet?
Luckily, if you absolutely loved the first Fan of a Fan, this one shouldn't disappoint you. The simple fact is, the album is more of the same, exactly the same. Chris Brown and Tyga don't do too much or take any chances, but the things that they do, they do very well. These things, once again, are catchy choruses attached to booming, bass heavy club anthems or slow, rhythmic 'baby-making' tunes. Unfortunately, that is literally the entire range of the album. There is no attempt to craft a narrative or even truly to tell a story on any one of the tracks.
The verses are littered with bars about the duo's sexual prowess and bedroom braggadocio. Three of the songs, 'Remember Me', 'Banjo' and 'Wrong In The Right Way' are completely dedicated to sex and are vivid, especially the former of the three, so any men hoping to throw this album on shuffle at their next party or "bro night", prepare for that. Lyrically, the album just gets tiresome. Loose rhyme schemes and lyrics that are mainly just reiterations of things we have all heard before definitely don't help push this album anywhere near future "Best of 2015" lists. The best versus arguably come from features on the album, (i.e.; Pusha T and Wale) not that Tyga and Chris don't have their moments.
Halfway through the album there is a very ironic track, 'Better'. It is all about the duo confessing that they should've treated their respective women better. The song seems misplaced on an album that can be viewed as largely misogynistic; talking about women as sexual objects and the delusion that the two can have any girl that they want.
"What happened to me babe? This ain't who you fell in love with."
Could this be Chris Brown apologizing to Rihanna or is it just an empty bar that happens to fit the concept of the song? No matter the intention, it's humorous in a way to place this song in the middle of an album that's most recurring concept is a blatant disregard for women's feelings. The tracklist feels like it was just thrown together with the intention of having as many singles as possible. This is where a crossroads is reached. Each song, in its own right, is fantastically produced, yet as an album, it all feels disjointed. Overall, this is a worthy follow-up to the 2010 mixtape of the same name. It doesn't introduce anything new or genre-bending yet it delivers what they duo's fan base has grown to love from the two artists. I suggest listening to each song as though it is a single and to forget that they all are a part of the same project. It's an enjoyable listen but leaves much to be desired.

Q: My T-test argument of syntax is right from my data set? [A beginner of R] I started R only a bit ago. So I would like to ask you if I am doing t-test right with my purpose.
I have two data set like this.

So basically everyday, from 2015-12-31 down to 2011-01-01 for hour 1. I would like to conduct t.test for those data to compare the average of price for hour 1 in the each data set and see if it is significant.
For this purpose, I conducted,
t.test(da1$Price, sp1$Price, data=rp1, var.equal=TRUE, conf.level = 0.95,
alternative = 'two.sided', paired=F)

(For equal variance with 95% confidence level for two sided. not paired because it is two different data)
Did I do it right for my purpose? I am very new with R, so I am not really sure if I did good work and since I am a programming beginner, strings and logicals all of that sound very foreign which makes me hard to understand the description in help.
Thank you for your kind advise in advance.
Have a great day people!
