Julen Loperetegui suffered his first defeat in his managerial debut for Real Madrid as his side lost 4-2 to their city Rivals Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. Diego Costa was both hero and villain as Thibaut Courtois was a mere spectator heroics of his former teammates. Atletico finally got the better of Real on the European stage who played their first competitive game in the Post-Cristiano era. Diego Costa scored the fastest goal in the competition's history as he gave his side the early lead within the first minute. Real bounced back and made it 2-1 as Los Blancos tried to show the world that they were capable of winning silverware without Ronaldo. Costa scored his second to draw level with Real and force extra time. Saul Niguez and Koke sealed victory with a goal each in the extra session of play as the won their first trophy of the 2018-19 season in the Estonian Capital. This was a significant victory for Atletico over their crosstown rivals and showed that they are a capable defensive side with the flair and creativity to stage comebacks. This has dented Lopetegui's start to his Real Madrid tenure and he has to get back to the drawing board with the La Liga season starting this weekend.
Real Madrid played some excellent football for most of the second half of the same. What makes this annoying is that they were in place for an easy victory. They limited Atletico's chances and forced their back four into mistakes that eventually lead to Sergio Ramos scoring a penalty to give their side the lead. Though, after going ahead, they simply lacked the ability to control the ebb and flow of the game. It appeared as if they were actively trying to sabotage their lead. Marcelo made a horrendous error when he kicked a ball back into play. Instead of giving Atletico a thrown in, he handed them a chance to level the game. The ball fell at the feet of Juanfran who squared the ball to Correa and found Diego Costa who brought his side back from the depths. Varane and Ramos looked out of synch. Both center backs hand chances to neutralize Diego Costa though neither of them showed the effort or ability to read the game to prevent him from scoring a brace. Varane was also complicit in Saul's goal and had he had the ability to stay on his feet, he may have been able to force the midfielder into a tough position. Kroos and Casemiro were careless with ball and constantly found themselves in positions where they had to needlessly foul. Things may seem bleak for Real Madrid though continuity is the strength that Lopetegui can use to erase the blunders in this squad. It is frustrating to Real Madrid continue to by sloppy in their own half after a 2017-18 season that was littered with defensive lapses. One can only hope that he can get on his defenders and still cohesion in his backline to ensure these moments of lunacy are only a blip on the radar.
It is not completely irrational for one to assume that the two would collapse without Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup. The linked up plenty of times together and have looked very good since the beginning of preseason. For long periods in the second half, they look composed and linked up well. Both attackers looked to prove their doubters wrong as look aim to make-up for the whole left by Ronaldo. The duos best moment together when Bale made a sublime cross with off his weaker foot to before Benzema calmly headed the ball in. Hopefully this is just a glimpse of what is to come between two-thirds of the former B.B.C. It is critical for Lopetegui to get the most out of them. With an impatient boss in Florentino Perez who is joined by an even more exasperated group in the Los Blancos faithful. His job may ultimately depend on the ability of Benzema and Bale to win games and silverware.
To everyone on twitter who wants to publically lynch Lopetegui, calm down. This was just one competitive game and in the grand scheme of things, it may not matter at all. There is no denying that this a bitter defeat. Losing to your city rivals in a game where you had one hand on the prize is brutally painful. But, the UEFA Super Cup is at best a glorified friendly. No coach in the history of a game has been judged by the outcome of their managerial debut for a club – especially in a game that has no real value. The first of at least city Madrid Derby's should be used as a barometer to measure the success of Real Madrid or Julen Lopetegui. This team is not at full strength and is still trying to build their fitness after a shortened summer. The players are also still trying to figure out Lopetegui's philosophy and the Spaniard is the process of finding out the strengths of his squad. Atleti had the advantage of having continuity in both manager and tactical scheme. There are plenty of talking points from this loss, some of which can be view as alarming. Real Madrid will definitely perform better in their La Liga opener against Getafe and during the coming season.

Greek President to Propose Far-Right Golden Dawn to Form Government
Bradford Hanson (Editor) · 24 August, 2015
A Greek lawmaker told Sputnik that Golden Dawn party will be given a mandate to form the government.
THE THIRD PARTY to be granted a mandate to form a new Greek government will be the far-right Golden Dawn, MP from the New Democracy Party, Makis Voridis, told Sputnik on Friday.
"The third party to receive a proposal to create a government will be the Golden Dawn," Voridis who is a former Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Networks, said.
"I do not think that New Democracy will manage to create a new government, it will not manage to form a parliamentarian majority," Voridis, who is a former Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Networks, said.
Main opposition New Democracy Party will refuse to form coalition with the left-wing SYRIZA party in case it wins the snap parliamentary elections.
"SYRIZA, the party of the resigned Prime minister, will not participate in any kind of discussion around creating a coalition right now. Without their votes, with actually now are 118, it is practically impossible to form any kind of government," Voridis stressed.
Earlier on Friday, Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos granted the leader of Greece's official opposition and head of the center-right New Democracy party Vangelis Meimarakis a mandate to form a new government.
Under the Greek Constitution, Meimarakis has three days to determine if his party can create a viable government before a caretaker regime is put in place.
Golden Dawn is a radical right party, whose 69 members have been accused [by the corrupt banker-owned regime — Ed.] of creating and running a criminal organization.

One only needs to open a newspaper and see that Cryptocurrency is high on the list of topics under discussion amongst all Financial Experts. Banks are fearful but only have themselves to blame as a result of the bad reputation that they have contributed to over the years.
As blockchain technology disrupts business models across industry and commerce, it's also redefining the way investors view virtual property. Start-ups and tech firms are increasingly discovering this new potential to turn digital assets into real-world capital.
NEW YORK, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Ernst & Young LLP announced today its acquisition of certain technology assets and related patents from Elevated Consciousness, Inc., a San Francisco, CA-based startup focused on developing unique solutions for the crypto-asset ecosystem. The Andy Crypto-Asset Accounting and Tax ("CAAT") tool methodically connects with multiple cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets, allowing for better visibility into cryptocurrency transactions and inventory.
When International Accounting firms are prepared to make this level of investment we can all rest assured that Cryptocurrency is here to stay and is the way that financial transaction will be carried out in future.
Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency and took a while to take off but once it had shrugged off the early criticisms of security and 'money laundering' it has now become more widely accepted, not only as an investment, as one would do with stocks and shares, but as an alternative to cash or debit cards.
One of the largest on-line travel agents, Expedia, will now take Bitcoin for hotel bookings and will soon take them for flights and other services such as car rental and activities. But whilst small and medium-sized businesses readily embrace cryptocurrency it has been slow to gain traction with large stores and chains and large e-commerce sites. However, this may all change soon as it is heavily rumoured that Amazon, having bought a number of cryptocurrency related domain names, is working on means and methods of accepting crypto. Issues such as returns are being looked into but it looks highly likely that they will be accepting crypto sometime very soon.
We quickly realised that there was one sector of the automotive industry that would lend itself to blockchain technology and that was vehicle valuations. The three main valuation platforms are CAP-HPI, Glasses and for consumers – Parkers Guide. For many years the industry has felt that prices have been influenced by major manufacturers and fleet owners but nothing could be proven because of a lack of transparency.
Our technical team have delivered an International solution to create more accurate and 'Real World' vehicle valuations. Armed with the ability to accurately value cars through our blockchain solution we then addressed the problem of vehicle purchase, especially when cross-border transactions are involved. These can prove to be costly and time consuming complicated further by exchange rates.
In the US Bitcoins are already being used for car purchases. Back in January a Lamborghini dealer in Orange County sold their first car for 91.4BTC. This was quickly followed by a second purchase by the same customer.
A Ford Main Dealer in Dallas also started to take Bitcoins not only for new cars but also pre-owned cars.
Overland Park Jeep, Dodge, Ram & Chrysler in Kansas accepts Bitcoin and Bitpremier.com has been selling top end cars such as Ferrari's, Bentleys and other premium brands for quite a while in exchange for Bitcoins.
These are just a few examples in the US and the number of car dealers is growing. Dealers in the UK are understanding the need to take cryptocurrency. Every dealer approached has shown a keen interest.
In terms of the UK market there are about 2.5 million new car registrations each year of which just over 1 million cars are for private drivers whilst about 1.4 million are for business use. The vast majority of these cars are financed but more on this shortly.
There are about 8.1 million used cars changing hands every year. According to data company Statista 57% of used cars changing hands are sold through car dealers. This equates to 4.6 million cars.
In terms of outlets there are 5,000 main dealers according to the SMMT and could be north of 15,000 used car dealers. More important than these figures are the number of main dealers and used car dealers advertising on the UK's number one platform, Auto Trader as these are as likely to advertise on our platform, especially as the advertising will be free as long as they are willing to accept Autocoin.
There are 3,830 main dealers advertising on the platform along with 13,000 used car dealers.
'New car sales have continued to struggle throughout 2018. Manufacturers pulled back on production as current models struggled to meet the new emissions tests, known as the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). Any cars not meeting the new emissions standards by the end of August 2018 could, in theory, be scrapped so in order to avoid this situation some manufacturers such as the VW group pulled back on production whilst Jaguar Landrover closed down their order book completely for 3 months.
This means that many car dealers have seriously struggled to meet their targets for this year and are embarking on a push to the end of this year. This difficult situation for dealers followed on from the UK's biggest dealership group, Pendragon, issuing a profits warning last October, which was quickly followed by International dealer group Inchcape, a FTSE 250 company operating in 29 countries, warning of difficulties ahead especially in the UK market that represents 15% of its total profits.
With the backdrop of diminished sales and increased competition, it isn't surprising that dealers are taking a particular interest in alternative ways to finance cars in order to increase registrations. In another twist as with a drop in supply of new cars the demand for used cars has increased which, in turn has increased the average price of used cars being sold through auction houses according to British Car Auction's Pulse Report. Again main dealers and used car dealers are very anxious to move more vehicles so an alternative to current finance methods and cash (fiat) payments can only add to their selling opportunities.
If I were Autocoin I would see the vulnerability of the major dealer groups as a positive. Shares in Pendragon, Lookers and Vertu Motors have dropped over the last 12 months with Pendragon down 25% from a year ago. At the end of last year major hedge funds were shorting shares in the above as well as Autotrader which relies heavily on income from the dealer groups.
In order to strengthen share prices, an announcement that one of the main dealer groups was to start taking Cryptocurrency would not only improve their share price it could give a massive boost to Autocoin as the only specialist cryptocurrency in this sector'.
It is our intention to approach not only main dealers and used car dealers but also the major dealer groups playing one off against the other. The belief is that once one group bites the others will be keen to follow.
Initially, it is our intention to facilitate new and used car sales in exchange for autocoins and/or a mixture of Autocoins and fiat currency.
However, it has quickly become clear that if new car sales are down so is the income derived through the addition of finance to both the dealer, by way of finance commission, and the finance companies that provide Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Personal Contract Hire (PCH).
Latest figures show that the financing of cars to private individuals is now split 80% PCP to around 14% PCH with the rest funded by various types of loans and HP. The view is that within 10 years PCH will overtake PCP. We will explain the reasons later.
Our challenge was to find a way of integrating Autocoins with finance repayments. We have the solution.
'There are two principal reasons why you should use Autocoins for monthly PCP or PCH payments when acquiring a new car in particular.
The first is what us Cost and Mangement Accountants would call 'Acquisition Cost'. For example, a company has the option of buying a car for cash or financing on some sort of period (say 3 years) agreement. Pay cash and you avoid interest charges that you would pay in any sort of finance arrangement. However, you would lose any interest that you would have earned had you placed your cash in a deposit account and paid monthly. That's the simple answer but what you are actually doing is losing the use of the cash to invest further in the business that could return 10% or more in profit, far outweighing the interest incorporated into the finance payments.
That's the business model but from an individual's point of view they could use the retained cash to buy more Autocoins if the value fluctuates or use it for emergencies in the family etc. You have greater flexibility and security.
The second and most important reason is cost. Walk into a main dealer and offer to buy a car for cash and the salesman's heart sinks. As a result, the discount you will receive will be minimal as he won't be receiving any finance commission. However, express a desire to finance the car on a PCP (the most popular way for consumers to fund a car) and they'll throw all but the kitchen sink into the deal.
You will be offered a good discount as a starter and if you have a part exchange they will offer a good figure for that. The funder will provide a further deposit contribution and you'll probably be offered even more off the car as a contribution from the manufacturer. The final icing on the cake could be subsidised or zero APR.
So you receive all this saving, sometimes representing as much as 20% off the retail price of the car, just for taking out the finance. Even better news is that if you invest further in Autocoin and you see some substantial growth you can still 'settle' the finance thereby paying no more in interest charges (if there are any) and still retaining all of the front end discounts and bonuses'.
'It's not an expression I like but the UK has become a 'dumping ground' for end of model cars, over produced cars and to increase sales as a means to keep the auto production lines running. They can also make use of cheap business and personal contract hire rates to encourage more drivers to take a brand new model if not enough are being seen on the roads. The best PR is to physically see cars on the road.
In the UK we have embraced contract hire for businesses and now we are seeing massive growth in PCH as a result of consumers understanding the product and often seeing the total lease cost of a PCH over 3 years slightly more than the normal first year's depreciation of the car if bought for cash.
As an example, I have had a brand new car, supplied by a main dealer and delivered to the customer with a list price of £22,000 and an invoice price of £11,250 provided it is only invoiced to a contract hire company. That way customers don't know how much the car is being sold for by the dealer. Cars provided to contract hire companies can have applied discounts and bonuses of up to 45% of list price.
Had the same car been supplied on PCP the best discount would probably only take the price down to £18,000. That way the discounted price wouldn't affect greatly any 12-month-old used cars on offer for say £16,995 on the dealer's forecourt. So whilst PCP is still the most popular product amongst consumers PCH is set to take over. Using a cryptocurrency to make the monthly payments makes a lot of sense and once one PCH provider bites the bullet it will be quickly followed by others very keen to not miss the boat'.
So, in summary, we already have the ability to make monthly payments using Autocoin that will meet the needs of both finance company and the consumers whilst drivers benefit from the various discounts and bonuses available.
One final point to be made on finance. Sub – Prime means that the customer doesn't meet the minimum lending criteria for Prime rates (cheapest). However, this doesn't mean that because the client has poor credit that he couldn't easily manage to meet his financial commitments. Especially if his lease repayments will be met out of ring-fenced coins thus protecting the lender.
This could result in clients achieving prime rates which would normally be unachievable opening up a whole new sector.
Interviewed recently by Automotive Management magazine, Thomas Delgado, chief executive of car buying group We Buy Cars Today has stated his belief that cryptocurrency will transform the automotive industry. Quoted as saying that as one of the leading car buying groups across the UK with hundreds of thousands of customers, many people are recognising the ease and simplicity of transacting with AutoCoin and that We Buy Cars Today are excited to be offering this option to their many clients.
Its common knowledge that the internet is the starting place for most people when they are looking to buy a new or used car. Social media has a huge part to play in getting key messages out to potential buyers and the major sales portals, Autotrader and eBay have a virtual monopoly in the used car buying space.
So any competitive advantage that a car dealer can achieve must be welcomed.
One of our trialling dealers that started to accept cryptocurrency just 2 weeks ago took full advantage of this differentiator and used social channels to promote the fact that they would accept Bitcoin and crypto for car purchases. A wise decision and investment in time as it turned out, as it took them less that a week to sell and deliver brand new car with the buyer opting to pay with Bitcoin.
Would they have sold this car without them accepting crypto? A definite NO. Was the buyer looking for a car dealer that specifically accepted Bitcoin? 100% he was.
Car delivered, money in the bank, profit taken and a happy customer.
As we said to car dealers some 20 years ago regarding the internet, accept new technology and implement them and reap the early rewards. Any competitive advantage has to be embraced in this ever increasingly difficult climate.
A welcome addition to autocoincars.com Buying caravans with bitcoin and buying motorhomes with cryptocurrency.
A recent enquiry from a forward thinking dealer of caravans and motorhomes has developed into a relationship where they will be listing their caravan and motorhome stock on autocoincars.com. Recognising that there are many buyers that want to use their digital assets to buy not just cars but a caravan or motorhome, being exposed to a completely new market will offer new sales opportunities. Any possible advantage that car and caravan dealers can achieve over their competitors has to be embraced in this hugely competitive market.
It has been a long time since new markets have emerged for car and caravan dealers and the forward thinking dealers that embrace new opportunities will thrive in this ever advancing digital environment.
autocoincars.com is the place to buy and sell cars with bitcoin and crypto. Free to use, why not embrace this opportunity?
More and more bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders are wanting to take advantage of their digital investment to buy cars. We talk to car dealers daily and the number of enquiries from people wanting to pay using Bitcoin is on the increase. The actual sourcing and purchase of cars using crypto has to date been something of a challenge.
Firstly, trying to find car dealers that accept cryptocurrency has been a challenge in itself, somewhat limiting choice to say the least. But now, as mainstream franchised dealers as well as privately owned garages are waking up to this emerging marketplace, the realisation that by not embracing this marketplace will cost them in sales opportunities not just in the UK but globally.
Autocoincars.com allows any car dealers that accept cryptocurrency to advertise their stock free of charge to potential buyers. Easing the purchasing path for buyers by having a huge choice of stock to browse in one place, each trusted dealer can then accept the incoming enquiry and deal with the sales process in their own way.
Accepting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is safe, secure, low cost and opens up a whole new potential market for car retailers.
Where Can I Buy A Car In UK With Bitcoin?
This question is becoming ever more popular. Where can you buy cars using Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? Holders of Bitcoin, especially in the UK own a digital asset that is not always easy to transact. There re retailers that accept Bitcoin and crypto currency but many people have expressed an interest in purchasing vehicles using their crypto, and why not?
Spending their digital currency on a car makes a lot of sense for the buyer. They may well have bought their Bitcoins, Ethereum, Litecoin etc at a very low price and may well be sat on a nice healthy profit. But cashing this currency, i.e. converting to sterling involves using an exchange that can often be costly. Finding a car dealer that accepts cryptocurrency is the ideal solution.
However, until now this has been difficult. Many car dealers simply do not understand crypto and do not realise that they can accept a bitcoin payment that is instantly converted into their bank in sterling. They request the amount in sterling and the exact amount is received and converted to sterling. Fast, safe, secure and much lower costs than a card payment. In most cases the buyer will be happy to pay the transaction fees as this is less expensive than converting their digital cash via an exchange.
You can find car dealers that accept bitcoin and cryptocurrency HERE .
Car dealers are becoming more aware that there is a new and rapidly growing market for buyers wanting to use cryptocurrency to buy cars. Not just in the UK but across the globe. The ease of transacting using crypto and the Autocoin, a dedicated automotive cryptocurrency means that transacting cars globally is becoming a quick and easy option for many buyers.
Supercars, classic cars and performance vehicles are especially suitable but there are many people that own just a few Bitcoins, often circa £20,000 value that would welcome the opportunity to buy a car using Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency – A Passing Fad or Here To Stay?
Cryptocurrency, well Bitcoin to most people has been around a while now. It has stood the test of time well and is in daily use in many countries. People use crypto to buy coffee, clothes and software. Many high street retailers across the globe accept crypto.
The UK is way behind many other countries in the acceptance and use of cryptocurrency. There are plenty of people in the UK that hold cryptocurrency but spending it is a little more problematic than for example in Russia, where crypto ATM machines exist on main streets and using Bitcoin is common place.
Crypto users are adamant that the many advantages of Bitcoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin and many others will ensure the mainstream use of crypto. Quite simply it has progressed too far already to be just a fad.
Car dealers that we talk to in the UK admit to receiving enquiries for vehicle purchases using crypto but do not know how to handle them. Imagine if those forward thinking dealers promoted the fact that they accept crypto and opened up entirely new markets and sales opportunities for themselves.
Cryptocurrency is legal to use. It is fast and safe to transact, and costs of transactions are far lower than traditional card payments or bank transfers. A dealer can sell a car and within less than a minute have UK sterling funds in their account.
Just as with the internet some 20 years ago, once adoption becomes commonplace crypto will become a standard tool in any car dealers armoury.
Here to stay – for sure. Very soon taking away the ability to accept crypto will be like taking away websites.
I Phone's seem to have been here all our lives. Setting out to the office a few weeks ago I asked my 16 year old to fetch my apple that I had left in the kitchen. He came back saying it wasn't there. I was of course referring to my pack up, Apple to him is a chrome device.
Car dealers embraced the mobile phone, and why wouldn't they. Check out valuations with colleagues whilst at the auction, arranging a de-brief pint after work and – oh, the occasional enquiry maybe?
Heady times. And when text messaging arrived, albeit in costly bundles of 100 per month then we were away. Communication like never before. The staple choice of most dealers were the best selling Nokias. Staggering (by todays standards) battery life of a few weeks, robust, light and high tech – looking anyway. Nokia globally had never had it so good.
But a certain Steve Jobs had bigger ideas. Laughed at initially, his computers and first I phone were far from the finished article. However, public desire and acceptance resulted in the first company to reach $1 Trillion valuation recently. How smug he would feel if alive. And an element of – I did tell you.
How many cars are sold starting with a Google search on a mobile? We all have a good idea and recognise how critical the internet is to the basic survival of car dealers. 20 years ago we remember selling websites to car dealers, with the response along the lines of – wont catch on, or – its for geeks.
So let's talk geeks. And cryptocurrency.
When we talk to the younger generation, and that isn't the 16 year olds, they talk of crypto as being the norm. Many use it daily and across the globe crypto is used in day to day life for transactions and purchases. Their view is very clear. When in the UK, not if.
So the message is clear. Embrace new technology or be left behind. There is nothing illegal or insecure about crypto. Request a payment, receive your funds and have your money in your bank, in sterling, in seconds. Very high security, low transaction cost and the opportunity to sell to a rapidly growing new market.

This is one of my famous one pot wonder desserts. It is a very simple but effective dessert.
Select a medium sized oven proof frying pan - preferably about 9 inches/23 cm.
Meanwhile cut the apples into 6 wedges.
Squeeze a little lemon juice on the apples to prevent them from darkening.
Add the apples to the pan and cook gently for 8-10 minutes until they begin to soften - just slightly and they take on a nice golden brown caramel.
Add in the blackberries at this stage and cook for a moment or two.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a further 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile roll out the puff pastry and cut out a disc to fit the top of the frying pan. This will not be the same size as the bottom of the frying pan!
When the apple and blackberry mixture has cooled slightly fit the disc of puff pastry onto the top of the caramelised fruit mixture.
Take a large serving platter, place it on top of the pan and turn it over to reveal a glorious pastry case laden with caramelised apples and blackberries.
If you want to get little individual tartlet dishes and make small tarts you just need to transfer the caramelised fruits to them and press a disc of puff pastry onto the top.


94% of children born with CF were born into families with no known family history.
To have a child with CF, both parents must be a carrier of the gene changes that cause CF. If both parents are carriers of the CF gene, then with each pregnancy there is a 25% risk of that child having CF.
Being a CF carrier does not mean you have CF. Carriers usually display no symptoms of CF.
What is CF and CF carrier screening?
When should someone have CF carrier screening?
What if my results show I am a carrier?
Is CF carrier screening covered by Medicare?
Where can I go for CF carrier screening?
"Cystic fibrosis or CF is the most common life-threatening genetic disorder affecting young Australians today" explains Dr Sean Fabri. Learn more about CF and CF carrier screening as he talks about the science, its implications and the options available for people to find out if they are carriers of CF gene change.
CF screening involves providing a blood or saliva sample and requires a referral from your GP, Obstetrician or Gynaecologist. There are over a thousand gene changes that cause CF. A typical CF screening request will identify the most common CF gene changes in Australia. However, there is still a small risk that you may be a carrier of a rare CF gene change. If you have a family history of CF, it is important to tell your GP, Obstetrician or Gynaecologist before providing your sample for screening. This will ensure that you are being tested for the most common CF gene changes as well as the specific gene change relevant to your family.
CF carrier screening is only available to those 18 years and over and is the only way to find out if you are a carrier of the CF gene change. The test can be ordered prior to pregnancy or early in a pregnancy by your GP, Obstetrician or a genetic counsellor. For more information on genetic testing visit Victorian Clinical Genetic Service.
An estimated 1 in 25 Australians carry the gene changes that can cause CF. Most whom are unaware.
Making the decision to know your CF carrier status is a choice only you can make. CF carrier screening can be accessed to help inform you of all of your reproductive options.
The earlier you make a decision about knowing your CF carrier status the more options you will have. Discuss your CF carrier screening options with your GP, Obstetrician or a genetic counsellor.
Everyone's reason for wanting or not wanting to know their CF carrier status will be different. What is important is that you feel you have made an informed choice that suits your particular situation and needs.
CFCC supports individuals having an opportunity to make informed life and reproductive choices as a result of CF carrier screening.
Making the decision to know your carrier status is a decision only you can make. If you are thinking about being screened then speak with your doctor, Obstetrician or Gynaecologist.
Newborn screening (heel prick test) and CF carrier screening are different. Newborn screening will not identify a child's CF carrier status.
Newborn screening is conducted on all babies in Victoria with parental consent. The simple heel prick test will indicate if a newborn is at high risk of having CF and a positive result means a further test is required. Approximately 99% of all babies screened will not be identified as high risk. Parents are only notified if there is a positive screening so further tests can be arranged to confirm a diagnosis. For further information on newborn screening visit Victorian Clinical Genetics Service.
Should your results indicate that you are a carrier of the CF gene you can ask for a referral to a genetic counsellor for more information and discuss in detail your options and the potential impacts.
a 50% chance your child will be a carrier of the CF gene change but not have CF.
CF carrier screening is not covered by Medicare and there is a cost. Different services have different products and pricing structures. You should expect to pay no less than $150 for CF carrier screening. CFCC are currently lobbying the Victorian Government to better support the Victorian community and make CF carrier screening available through Medicare.
Your GP or Obstetrician can request a carrier screen for you. Screening is available to anyone in Victoria as long as you have access to a pathology collection point. Alternatively, if you don't have access to a collection point you may request a saliva swab kit. Be sure to investigate the different screening services offered. For example, at the Victorian Clinical Genetics Service they provide both a carrier screening service for CF only or as part of a Reproductive Carrier Screening service (carrier screening for CF, Fragile X and SMA).
Making the decision to know your CF carrier status is personal choice, below you can read why a number of Victorian's decided it was important to them to have CF carrier screening.
"Prior to my daughter, Kari being diagnosed with CF through Newborn Screening my family had no known history of CF on either my mother or father's side. My husband's cousin has CF however, his family were never made aware of the implications that this could pose for them when starting their own families or being aware of their carrier status. Due to having little contact with his cousin I too was unaware of the implications and therefore had little knowledge of CF.
We both decided to be screened for CF after our daughter was born with CF in 2008 and to confirm the genotype. CF carrier screening should be offered to all couples considering having children not just to couples where there are known cases of it within the family. The screening also needs to be affordable too as prevention is better than cure.
So couples can make informed choices about their pregnancy , I would highly reccomend they be screened. Especially if there is a high probability that they could have a child with CF. from our experiences living with CF in the immediate family, I wouldn't want any parent to face what we do daily. I feel more than blessed to have our gorgeous girl in our lives and she constantly teaches me things about myself, however, CF is a relentless, unforgiving, life shortening, debilitating, and stressful chronic illness. It's an emotional roller coaster. As a parent you do not want to see your child battle and fight this horrible disease."
"My story with CF started almost 12 years ago when my niece Olivia was diagnosed just before her third birthday. I remember getting the phone call to say Olivia had been diagnosed with CF. I had no idea what it was as I had never heard about it before, there had been no one on my side of the family having it. I was confused going into the hospital after hearing, I remember Olivia's mum, Annette, crying and everyone being so upset, I still had no idea what was going on or what this illness meant for my beautiful niece. After learning of the battle Olivia and her family had in front of them, I started to wonder if I was a carrier of CF.
I was only 20 at the time so I wasn't thinking of having children just yet. My partner Ben (who I am now married too and we have two wonderful daughters together) and I were put into contact with a genetics consultant at the Monash hospital who organised for us to come in and talk about what would it mean if Ben and I were carriers. We then had blood tests and a few weeks later we each got a letter in the mail stating that I was a carrier and Ben wasn't.
Olivia is a big part of our life, she is the strongest person I know and I admire her in every way possible. She is also the best cousin to our girls, they look up to and adore her in so many ways. I think carrier screening should be offered when you first hear about having a family member with CF. It just so happens that my brother and I are both carriers of the CF gene. I would recommend to get carrier screening done for you and your partner, you never know if you are a carrier or not, if my husband Ben did have the gene too it wouldn't have made us not want to have children, it would have made us more aware of what may lie ahead of us in the future."
Even though I was very young, 2-years-old, when we lost Skye I grew up within the CFV community. Mum and Dad were active members, suggesting that more needed to be done for the families. We took on lead roles in the Christmas parties and Memorial Services each year. This meant that I grew up very aware of the seriousness of CF and longed for the day I could find out if I was a carrier- as I didn't want to pass on the gene to my children one day.
So when I turned 18 (or sometime shortly after), I headed straight to the GP. I walked in, sat down and said "I want to be tested to see if I'm a carrier of CF." It was quick and easy and I had my results in a couple of weeks. I scared the living daylights out of my family when I got a mysterious phone call and burst into tears… I wasn't a carrier. I had no idea how much it meant to me until that moment.
I'm a big advocate of getting screened, and will tell a complete stranger to get tested (if we're on the topic). It's not a death sentence if you're a carrier. But it could carry a great deal of importance in decision making and planning in the future, which could save someone a great deal of heartache later on. I think when I was tested you had to be 18 to get it done. While this was ok for me, I do wonder if it should be earlier (maybe when you are 16). But more importantly, it needs to be talked about earlier. It needs to be in the back of people's minds - like it was in mine. Awareness is definitely key here."
"My son is 9 years old, he doesn't really understand much about be a carrier of CF at the moment and I am still learning myself. Our family are carriers of Delta-F508, the most common CF gene change.
My two cousins, Brett and Scott died as a result of having CF when they were 15. Our second cousin also has CF. It came through the Perry side of the family and we have a gene tree for our family at Monash Medical Centre. My aunty, before she became a Perry did not know she was a carrier of the DF508, my uncle Ivan Perry was too. All I really understand, is from what was explained to me 11 years ago... I needed to be tested for CF to see if I was a carrier and my partner also had to be tested in case I fell pregnant and the potential for our child to be born with CF. For me, it would have been very traumatic knowing that they would not get the enjoyment out of life like everyone should.
In 2005, I would have to pay $500 for the blood, mouth swap test. However, when I gave my GP information about my family history and the Perry family tree it was free. My partner came back all clear and I came back as a positive carrier. Luck was on my side. It was hectic trying to get this blood test as my GP was adamant that it did not need to be done, it was very costly and they won't just do it for anyone he explained. I very well understood quite clear.
My dad is a carrier and it passed my brother (who is older than me). When I found out I was a carrier I felt a little bit better but it saddens me that many families out there are in familiar situations with CF like mine in their families and it's too late before they can do anything.

Coronavirus in Oregon: Judge orders inmates be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccines; 23 new deaths reported statewide

A judge on Tuesday ordered all inmates in the Oregon prison system to be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccinations — a move that should make prisoners immediately eligible for inoculation.
The preliminary injunction orders all Oregon Department of Corrections inmates be offered a vaccine as part of phase 1A, group 2, of Oregon's COVID-19 vaccination plan — putting prison inmates in the same category as people living in nursing homes and other congregate care settings.
The order should make prisoners eligible for vaccines now, but it's not clear if they'll move ahead of teachers or the elderly. But given that the Oregon Health Authority dictates where vaccines are shipped, the state has the ability to redirect doses for prisons.
"This will save an incredible amount of lives," said Juan Chavez, an Oregon Justice Resource Center attorney who is representing a group of seven inmates.
The order will allow adults in custody to "stand in the same line" as others in congregate living facilities with a high risk of COVID-19 infection, Chavez said.
"As far as jumping the line ahead of anybody, they should've been vaccinated already," he said.
The decision comes after seven inmates at Oregon correctional facilities filed motions Jan. 21 for the federal government to intervene and immediately compel the state to vaccinate all prison inmates against COVID-19. The same inmates first filed a class action lawsuit in federal court last April seeking protection against the spread of COVID-19.
Inmates across the state have described horrid conditions in the state's correctional facilities as 3,392 cases of COVID-19 and 42 deaths have been confirmed in prisons to date.
In her ruling, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman noted state officials had prioritized residents of other types of congregate care settings, such as nursing homes, but bypassed inmates, despite widespread COVID-19 outbreaks in the state's prisons.
The decision to exclude the state's prison population from high-tier priority lists demonstrated "deliberate indifference to the serious risk of harm" prisoners face from COVID-19, the judge concluded.
Beckerman was unswayed by the state's argument that the public interest called for teachers to be vaccinated first, so children could return to school. The judge pointed out the prisoners' attorneys weren't asking for inmates to be vaccinated first, just that they be vaccinated at the same time as teachers.
Chavez pointed out that Oregon's current rate of vaccination is about 12,000 a day — roughly the same size of the state prison population. Any diversion of vaccines would be equivalent to a day's worth of vaccines administered, compared to the previous plan, which put prisoners behind 900,000 others, he said.
To date, the state has used 65% of its vaccine allotment, according to Oregon Health Authority numbers.
MULTNOMAH COUNTY JAIL VACCINATIONS
The first vaccinations of Multnomah County Jail inmates began Tuesday, as the county administered vaccines to 108 adults at the Inverness Jail. More inmates will be vaccinated once more doses are available, according to Julie Sullivan-Springhetti, a county spokeswoman.
Sullivan-Springhetti said the county has always planned to treat jails as part of the high-risk congregate settings category for vaccinations.
These vaccinations began as two more outbreaks have been reported in Multnomah County and Josephine County jails in recent days.
There have been 107 cases of COVID-19 and no deaths during the Inverness Jail's current outbreak, which began Jan. 15, Sullivan-Springhetti said. That's equivalent to 21% of the current population of 512 inmates.
An ongoing outbreak at the Multnomah County Detention Center also has affected 26 staff and 10 inmates since October.
To prevent further spread at the Inverness Jail, at least two dormitories have been placed in isolation and three others on quarantine, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
All inmates who tested positive for COVID-19 have been moved into an isolation dorm for about two weeks. Those who have been exposed to the coronavirus but tested negative are in quarantine for the same amount of time.
Those in quarantine are being tested every few days and anyone with symptoms is offered COVID-19 testing, Sullivan-Springhetti said.
The outbreak has caused delays in court hearings for those in the affected dorms, according to Multnomah Public Defender Michael Rees.
A release hearing for one of his clients was abruptly canceled last week, Rees said, and a remote hearing via video was not rescheduled until Tuesday morning. Rees said he was told the hearing was canceled because his client was in a locked down dorm.
"I think the jail should've started taking this seriously ages ago," Rees said. "People sitting in there are at risk of serious illness and death."
The Inverness Jail is at about 77% capacity, according to the most recent figures from Sullivan-Springhetti. The county reduced its jail population by 30% near the start of the pandemic due to fewer arrests, early releases of sentenced inmates and stepped-up pretrial releases.
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office reported 30 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 using rapid testing since Jan. 26. All inmates and staff will be tested again Feb. 8 to verify the results using PCR testing, which uses genetic material.
The OHA, meanwhile, reported 619 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and 23 more deaths Tuesday.
Here are today's coronavirus numbers:

Population of Kazakhstan (in millions) from 1950–2009.
The demographics of Kazakhstan enumerate the demographic features of the population of Kazakhstan, including population growth, population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status, religious affiliations, and other aspects of the population. Some use the word Kazakh to refer to the Kazakh ethnic group and language (autochthonous to Kazakhstan as well as parts of Russia, China and Mongolia) and Kazakhstani to refer to Kazakhstan and its citizens regardless of ethnicity, but it is common to use Kazakh in both senses.
Official estimates put the population of Kazakhstan at 18,137,300 as of December 2017, of which 44% is rural and 56% urban population. The 2009 population estimate is 6.8% higher than the population reported in the last census from January 1999 (slightly less than 15 million). These estimates have been confirmed by the 2009 population census, and this means that the decline in population that began after 1989 has been arrested and reversed.
The proportion of men makes up 48.3%, the proportion of women 51.7%. The proportion of Kazakhs makes up 63.6%, Russians 23.7%, Uzbeks 2.9%, Ukrainians 2.1%, Uygur 1.4%, Tatars 1.3%, Germans 1.1%, others 3.9%. Note that a large percentage of the population are of mixed ethnicity.
The first census in Kazakhstan was conducted under Russian Imperial rule in 1897, which estimated population at round 4 million people. Following censuses showed a growth until 1939, where numbers showed a decrease to 6,081 thousand relative to the previous census done 13 years earlier, due to famines of 1922 and 1933.
But since 1939 population has steadily increased to 16.5 million in the 1989, according to corresponding year census. Official estimates indicate that the population continued to increase after 1989, peaking out at 17 million in 1993 and then declining to 15 million in the 1999 census. The downward trend continued through 2002, when the estimated population bottomed out at 14.9 million, and then resumed its growth. Significant numbers of Russians returned to Russia. Kazakhstan underwent significant urbanization during the first 50 years of the Soviet era, as the share of rural population declined from more than 90% in the 1920s to less than 50% since the 1970s.
Data sources: Population 1897 from Russian Empire Census. Population 1926 from First All-Union Census of the Soviet Union. Population 1939–1999 from demoscope.ru, 2002–2008 from Kazakhstan Statistical Agency web site. Rural/urban shares 1939–1993 from statistical yearbooks, print editions, 2002–2008 from Kazakhstan Statistical Agency web site. 2009–2014 from Kazakhstan Statistical Agency web site.
As of 2003, there were discrepancies between Western sources regarding the population of Kazakhstan. United States government sources, including the CIA World Fact Book and the US Census Bureau International Data Base, listed the population as 15,340,533, while the World Bank gave a 2002 estimate of 14,858,948. This discrepancy was presumably due to difficulties in measurement caused by the large migratory population in Kazakhstan, emigration, and low population density - only about 5.5 persons per km² in an area the size of Western Europe.
1 Births and deaths until 1979 are estimates.
Total fertility rate by regions of Kazakhstan: Mangystau - 3.80, South Kazakhstan - 3.71, Kyzylorda - 3.42, Atyrau - 3.29, Jambyl - 3.20, Aqtobe - 2.70, Almaty (province) - 2.65, Almaty (city) - 2.65, City of Astana - 2.44, West Kazakhstan - 2.29, Aqmola - 2.19, East Kazakhstan - 2.07, Qaragandy - 2.04, Pavlodar - 1.98, North Kazakhstan - 1.72, Qostanay - 1.70, Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.65. Thus it can be seen that fertility rate is higher in more traditionalist and religious south and west, and lower in the north and east, where the percentage of Slavic and German population is still relatively high.
According to the Kazakhstan Demographic and Health Survey in 1999, the TFR for Kazakhs was 2.5 and that for Russians was 1.38. TFR in 1989 for Kazakhs & Russians were 3.58 and 2.24 respectively.
Kazakhstan demographics 1897-1970. Major ethnic groups. Famines of 1920s and 1930s are marked with shades.
Kazakhstan's dominant ethnic group Kazakhs, traces its origin to 15th century, when a number of Turkic and some Mongol tribes united to establish the Kazakh Khanate. With cohesive culture and national identity, they constituted absolute majority on the land until Russian colonization.
Russian advancement into the territory of Kazakhstan began in the late 18th century, when the Kazakhs nominally accepted Russian rule in exchange for protection against repeated attacks by the western Mongolian Kalmyks. In the 1890s, Russian peasants began to settle the fertile lands of northern Kazakhstan, causing many Kazakhs to move eastwards into Chinese territory in search of new grazing grounds. The 1906 completion of the Trans-Aral Railway between Orenburg and Tashkent further facilitated Russian colonization. The first collectivized farms opened in Kazakhstan in 1921, populated primarily by Russians and Soviet deportees. In 1930, as part of the first Five Year Plan, the Kazakh Central Committee decreed the sedentarization of nomads and their incorporation into collectivized farms. This movement resulted in devastating famine, claiming the lives of an estimated 40% of ethnic Kazakhs (1.5 million), between 1930-33. Hundreds of thousands also fled to China, Iran and Afghanistan. The famine rendered Kazakhs a minority within Kazakhstan, and only after the republic gained independence in 1991 did Kazakhs recover a slim demographic majority within Kazakhstan.
Demographics would continue to shift in the 1950-1960s, wherein as part of Nikita Khrushchev's Virgin Lands Campaign, hundreds of thousands of Soviet deportees were relocated to the Kazakh steppes in order to farm. As recognized in the 1959 census, the Kazaks became a minority for the first time in history, comprising just 30% of the total population of Kazakhstan. Russians numbered 42.7%.
According to the 2009 census, the ethnic composition of Kazakhstan is approximately: 63.1% Kazakh, 23.7% Russian, 2.9% Uzbek, 2.1% Ukrainian, 1.4% Uyghur, 1.3% Tatar, 1.1% German, 1% Kyrgyz, and <1% Korean, Turkish, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Dungan, Kurdish, Tajik, Polish, Chechen.

The Living At Home/Block Nurse Program (LAH/BNP) was initiated by local communities in 1981 to address and change the disjointed nature of services then in place for elders. Community residents came together to discuss the needs of their senior neighbors and what emerged was a unique non-profit program model that coordinates volunteers and health professionals from the community to help their older neighbors stay in their own homes. Our organization supports Minnesota's community-based non-profit programs that provide local solutions to help seniors live safely and actively in their own communities by providing technical support to programs and by educating our communities about the need to use local resources to create elder-friendly communities .
In 1981, six women in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota organized the first Block Nurse Program. In 1986-87 four other neighborhoods and communities organized their own Programs (two in St. Paul, one in Minneapolis, and one in Greater Minnesota).
At the same time, the Macalester/Groveland and West 7th neighborhoods of St. Paul were selected to implement the Living at Home Program as part of the National Living at Home Demonstration Project. The two models ultimately were merged to form the Living at Home/Block Nurse Program (LAH/BNP).
- effect societal change that encourages and supports ongoing neighborhood based health and long-term care for seniors.
In 1987, Living at Home/Block Nurse Program, Inc. (LAH/BNP, Inc.) was founded as a technical assistance center to support the growing number of local Programs. With funding support from a number of local and national foundations, replication materials were created and disseminated, resulting in more communities with LAH/BNPs. Malcolm Mitchell provided leadership during the period of growth that included the establishment of Elderberry Institute in 1997 as the education and outreach arm for LAH/BNPs. In 2002, to help differentiate our program from the local LAH/BNPs, "Elderberry Institute" was officially adopted as the new name of the LAH/BNP, Inc. organization.
As funding for new initiatives became less available and the needs of the local programs moved back to the forefront of our mission, Elderberry Institute adapted to meet new challenges. In 2010 local programs met to restructure the organization and The "Living At Home Network" emerged as a streamlined service center focused on the needs of our current and future community based programs. Our current Director, Diane Raff, has a deep knowledge of the strengths and challenges faced by our local programs, having directed one of our local member programs for over fifteen years. The Living At Home Network works to support Minnesota's community-based non-profit programs that provide local solutions to help seniors live safely and actively in their own communities. We provide technical support to new and on-going programs, access to training, insurance and other tools essential to helping these programs thrive. During the first two years years we secured state funding for all 36 of our local programs and the first ever increase in the state funds each program receives. We have offered top quality training to our programs featuring regional experts in grant writing, financial planning, budgeting and cash-flow management, and fundraising. We host an annual All-Site Gathering which features training sessions for administrators, board members and program staff. We also use our gathering to get input from the people who put our mission into action on the on-going work of adapting the network to the needs of the local programs.


Gallardo Does it All ~ The Bucky Channel - The World of Sports from Wisconsin's Perspective.
Yovani Gallardo not only pitched awesome Saturday night, he also hit a solo homerun that was half of the Brewers total runs as the Brewers beat the Padres 2-1 Saturday night in San Diego. Milwaukee won their first game since Gallardo's last start, which proves that someone else on this team has to step it up if they want to make a run. Also, it was good to see Rickie Weeks hit a long ball, after he has just been on a cold streak. Saturday was Rickies first two hit game since April 23rd. He needs to get on for people to hit him in, but everyone of late hasn't been hitting much.
Gallardo still had a high pitch count for seven innings, but he did strikeout 11 guys. He gave up 6 hits, 2 walks, and one earned run. Since his slow start he has really come around of late. He is really starting to strike out some batters, and he has kept the ball in the ball park too. That is what always seems to kill Yovani when he either hangs his curve, or his fastball location is off. He has won his last three starts, and he has 25 strikeouts in those starts. Lets hope this is the start of something special this year for him.
As far as the Padres go, Tony Gwynn Jr. scored the only run for them. He isn't having a good year at all, but somehow this team is still winning. He is batting .235 in the leadoff role, and everytime I see him bat he was striking out. Chase Headley was their main source of offense as he had three of the Padres seven hits. This is not a hitters ball park so these 2-1 games are seen a lot.
POTG goes to Gallardo for sure no questions asked.


Urbanisation and agriculture in the Rhine basin have driven loss of water storage capacity in floodplains and marshes and soils of smaller valleys and have caused ecosystem degradation. Changing precipitation patterns due to climate change are expected to lead to increased peak flows as well as critically low water levels. The combination of both developments increase the chance of severe impacts on society. Precipitation falling on the plateaus and slopes in the Middle Rhine region comes down as throughflow (water flowing through the soil) and passes the valley floor before entering the stream. Drained valley floors accelerate this process, i.e. artificial drainage "empties" the hydrological column of entire slope and plateau, contributing to flood peaks in the tributaries to the Rhine.
Natural Water Retention through restoration of the 'sponge' function of currently drained soils in the middle-mountains of the Rhine basin is a locally applied nature-based solution to flood mitigation with potential impacts at basin scale. We argue that the benefits of the proposed solution are not only local, but will also favour end-users further downstream. This solution fits a systems approach and contributes to achieve water, agriculture and nature policy objectives as well as delivering societal benefits such as recreation and carbon capture.
Whereas the terms "technical readiness" and "prototype" allow a fairly clear guideline on how to describe the stage of a technical project, they are less applicable to describe the level op development of a nature-based solution. That being said: we strongly feel our concept is at Technical Readiness Level 4 and perhaps even higher because the following crucial elements to allow a scale-up are available: - several field projects in which the positive effects are demonstrated on a local scale (several Waterboards are implementing the concept on local scale for local aims) - a conceptual framework, GIS research and first hydrological calculations which, at the very least, make it plausible that upscaling of the approach will not only translate into more local effects, but also has a positive impact (on nature, climate resilience, flood control) basin-wide. Being able to better demonstrate the latter is crucial to harness financial, policy and political support on a national or even international level. In fact, our project proposal aims to reach this tipping point: from local application for local purposes to (multiplied) local application for (inter)national purposes.
The most suited location for restoring the natural sponge function is at the foot of slopes in U-shaped valleys. Removing drainpipes and ditches would slow down the runoff response of a much larger area than the space needed for the measure itself. Calculations for local catchments in the Mosel basin (the case study area) shows potential for local peak reductions of 5 – 8 % in the tributaries to the Rhine, and provide partial evidence for the hypothesis that natural retention can result in substantial reduction of flood peaks. Critical to bridging the gap between our innovative approach and the end-users is to provide more clarification regarding the location and scale of implementation as well as the expected effects of the measure.

Q: Importing 14 digit timestamp from CSV to MySQL and avoid stripping out data I'm creating a mySQL db that will contain as part of its data, timestamps.  These timestamps will be imported from a CSV file in which they appear like this - 20110701083231
My question is which is the best datatype to store these as?
In my attempts so far, during the import process (which I am doing via PHPMyAdmin) the end of the timestamp appears to get stripped out and they become 2011070000000.
Oddly, when I return to the CSV file, the entries there also appeared to be stripped out in the same way...?
Thanks in advance for any light you shed and for all previous help given.

A: Have a try with this statement?
LOAD DATA INFILE 'yourFile.csv'
INTO TABLE yourTable
(@var1)
SET theColumnWhereItShouldBe = STR_TO_DATE(@var1, '%Y%m%d%H%i%s');

Oh, and the column should be of type datetime or timestamp.

A: Save them as in the datetime format. That means you will need to do some formatting of those values before saving them but that isn't difficult to do:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("YmdHis", "20110701083231");
$date = $date->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");

Jumptap: Android, iOS Now 91% Of All Mobile Ad Traffic, Kindle Fire 33% Of All Tablet Use
Ingrid Lunden	@ingridlunden / 7 years
The onward march for Android and Apple continues apace, and leaves a big question mark for how other platforms can hope to compete, at least in the U.S. market: New figures out from Jumptap indicate that in the month of January, the two combined made up 91 percent of all smartphone traffic on its U.S. mobile ad network — representing a new high for the two most-dominant mobile phone platforms.
But while Apple has seen a huge jump in smartphone users following the launch of the iPhone 4S last year, Jumptap's figures indicate that in tablets it has a strong competitor in the form of the Kindle Fire, which now accounts for 33 percent of all tablet traffic on the network.
While these numbers do not exactly speak to how many Kindle Fire devices there are in use compared to iPads (we have a bit more on that subject here), it does point to the fact that people are using their Amazon devices for a whole lot of ad-based services.
Jumptap's numbers indicate that while Apple (at 32.2 percent) and Google (at 58.8 percent) are dominating across its U.S. ad network of 95 million monthly users, the weak appear to be getting weaker: RIM's BlackBerry platform is at a "new low" of 6.7 percent share of impressions, while Symbian accounted for 1.4 percent of impressions, and Windows Mobile for even less: 0.5 percent.
Jumptap's prediction is that despite gains that Microsoft may make as a result of Nokia's new line of Windows Phones, collectively the bottom three will not have more than 10 percent of impressions at any point this year. Still, that is actually leaving room for some growth…
In tablets, Amazon is proving to be a strong competitor, at least in the area of usage. In January, it accounted for 33 percent of all tablet traffic, and as you can see from the table below, that share has risen quickly over the last three months, outpacing even the growth of tablet traffic itself. Apple's share, meanwhile, is at its lowest in four months, at 48 percent. Ditto the collective force of all of the other tablet makers.
This is a key point, because it indicates that those who are buying the Kindle Fire are also buying into the whole service-led proposition behind it: content is something that Apple has, up to now, been able to say that it does better than any other Android tablet maker, but Amazon's mix of its appstore apps, plus offerings of streamed content and more besides appears to be giving that idea a run for its money. That also indicates to developers that this is a potentially strong platform to develop for.
What remains to be seen is whether Apple has another "new launch" effect in the coming months, as a result of its news on Wednesday. It's expected that Apple will reveal a new iPad and in the process could see the same effect on the tablet market that the introduction of the iPhone 4S had on its market share in smartphones last quarter — when, by most accounts, its share jumped quite significantly compared to those of other device makers.
