Tweaking the next generation of graphics memory.
Samsung is already collecting CES awards ahead of the annual of trade show, and one of those awards is for its 16Gbps GDDR6 memory. Apparently Samsung has been busy speeding up its graphics memory in the past year.
Back at the Hot Chips symposium in August 2016, Samsung executive Jin Kim said the company's GDDR6 memory will be faster and more power efficient than 10Gbps GDDR5, with throughput expected to be around 14Gbps when it starts mass production. Now a year later, Samsung has managed to bump that up to 16Gbps.
That is double the throughput of current generation 8Gbps GDDR5 memory found on graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and higher than 11Gbps GDDR5X memory on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
"It processes images and video at 16Gbps with 64GB/s data I/O bandwidth, which is equivalent to transferring approximately 12 full-HD DVDs (5GB equivalent) per second," Samsung said.
Samsung also says its GDDR6 memory uses less power, operating at 1.35V versus 1.5V for 8Gbps GDDR5 memory. That means less power will be needed for the memory subsystem.

—evidence, perhaps, of farce and folly being defining characteristics of humankind. In "No Choice," at Los Angeles's Harmony Murphy Gallery, Sasamoto presented situations that mirrored, and perhaps mocked, the many choices we encounter in everyday life.
In Fold Your Way (2015), a multicolored T-shirt rests on a counter-like table resembling those used to fill out forms at a government agency. Viewers are invited to fold the shirt and compare their results against a photo-based chart of possible outcomes, which serves as a pseudo-scientific indicator of one's personal character. Continuing her look at the dizzying complexities of daily choice, in Under/Over (2015), two rolls of toilet paper on separate wooden holders hang side by side on a wall. One has its free end unfurling from over the roll, while the other has its loose lip hanging out from beneath. The installation portrays a seemingly simple yet preposterously loaded choice: "toilet paper orientation" is, in fact, an extensively debated topic, with a Wikipedia entry as long as those for important historical events.
—as Sasamoto's exhibition title declares. While seated on a stool, it was hard not to feel a bit like the anonymous stick figure in Sasamoto's diagram, instead of an individual with free will. Her installations were humbling and illustrative of the arbitrary decisions that make up the proverbial hamster wheel of life.
—and slowly pressing it forward so that props sitting atop the ledges are pushed into a trashcan.
During the exhibition's closing performance, something similarly befuddling took place. Entitled Charisma vs. Strategy, it was an extension of Sasamoto's Sleeping Charisma (2015), comprising oil-stick drawings on pillowcases, which were also shown at the gallery. Wondering when the performance would begin, confused attendees milled about the gallery. Meanwhile, Sasamoto, in a nondescript smock, mopped the floor in wide, determined arabesques; unbeknownst to the audience, she had already started. She proceeded to draw a charcoal diagram on the wall, which categorized humankind into two types: those who get by on their charisma and those who rely on strategy. In a poker-faced yet impassioned elocution, she then departed on a tangent about different types of women's undergarments and what each indicates about their wearer. Having walked throughout the gallery, Sasamoto left a flurry of marker-drawn charts and diagrams on the walls and floor.
The fervent proclamations that Sasamoto makes in her performances conjure up the meandering, inscrutable monologue of the rambling character Lucky from Irish playwright Samuel Beckett's 1953 absurdist comedy Waiting for Godot. As with Lucky's seemingly nonsensical ravings, which, when parsed, offer moments of insight regarding the state of man, the audience must read between the lines of Sasamoto's whimsical, diverse works to decipher the deeper meanings underneath her droll, entertaining antics.

Formula E renews agreement with its official logistics partner DHL to manage freight transport
By Joe Lemire 1.11.2023
Formula E has renewed its agreement with official logistics partner DHL to manage freight transport for the sustainable motorsports circuit. DHL is a founding partner that began its collaboration with Formula E in 2013, a year before its first race.
The electric vehicle racing series now enters its ninth season where it'll debut its Gen3 car during the Mexico City E-Prix on Saturday. DHL uses biofuels for road and sea freight to reduce CO2 emissions. In 2008, DHL pledged to improve carbon efficiency 30% by 2021, a goal it achieved in 2016. Its new goal is net-zero emissions — the standard reached by the entire Formula E series — by 2050.
Formula E, which features the color blue in logos and signage, and yellow-branded DHL also announced a commitment to continue its "Together Green" activation, signaling the blending of colors for a sustainable future.

Beech Nut Designs
Beech-Nut Redesigns Cereal Canisters for Retail Ready
Delkor helps Beech-Nut Undergo a Retail ready Package Design Transformation
Beech-Nut's popular baby cereal product has been in a paperboard carton for a many years, but now a coextruded newcomer with a built-in measuring cap has taken its place
Sept. 5, 2017 – Beech-Nut infant cereal has undergone a packaging transformation driven by consumer needs. Gone is the paperboard carton wielded by moms and dads for generations, and in its place is a sleek co-extrusion blow molded newcomer whose two key benefits are listed prominently on the front of its full-body shrink sleeve label: easy-pour spout & measuring cap.
"Parents are very focused on measuring the amount they're giving their baby, and that was a package feature not found in the category," says Andy Dahlen, Vice President of Marketing at Beech-Nut. "So we set out to create a package that would provide that first-in-category benefit." Also designed into the threaded injection-molded polypropylene closure is a spout that makes it easier to control product flow during dispensing. Dahlen sums up the relaunch this way: "Measurability, pourability, and portability—those were the drivers."
First shipments of the new container, which holds the same 8 oz. as its paperboard predecessor, started reaching stores in February, and now the container is available nationwide. Secondary packaging, done on three pieces of equipment supplied by Delkor, is notable, too.

Television actor Sachin Shroff will be seen in an episode of the horror series 'Darr Sabko Lagta Hai' hosted by Bipasha Basu, and according to him the reason he said yes to the show was the uniqueness.
"I chose to be a part of 'Darr Sabko Lagta Hai' because it was very different from the regular horror shows and it has some eerie feeling about it. It was supposed to be shot in a film format and I was pretty excited about that," Sachin said in a statement here.
He will be seen playing the role of Alex, an NRI who brings his family to a remote Indian village where he was born. But once Alex comes back, he is forced to confront his past that he has kept hidden from his family. Along with his past, he must face some supernatural incidents that threaten the life of his daughter.
"I believe in the supernatural (powers) because if there is good, there is bad. If there is God, there is evil. I haven't seen anything of that sort but I would never say that the supernatural power doesn't exist," Sachin said.
The episode was shot on the outskirts of the city.
"The sets and all the locations we shot in were eerie places. The places we shot in were creepy. I was scared to get out of the sets as we were surrounded by jungles," he added.
The series showcases a different story for each episode with different directors helming it. Actress Bipasha Basu hosts the show and narrates the stories.
"Darr Sabko Lagta Hai" is a horror fictional television series aired on &TV.

2020 Real Estate Requires Innovative Financiers As Part Of The Package
By Soko Directory Team / Published July 29, 2020 | 12:35 pm
The COVID-19 pandemic has put into sharp focus the expanded skill set now necessary for real estate success. To reach fruition, real estate projects now require advanced financial acumen and support as illustrated by Kenya's innovative venture into the student housing market earlier on in the year.
Student housing has emerged as one of the strongest investment cases in East African real estate over the last two years. According to Kenya's Ministry of Education, 919,400 students were last year enrolled at the country's 67 universities and vocational colleges.
Yet student housing provided by universities stands at approximately 200,000 units countrywide, serving just 22.6% of the student population, while 10% commute from their homes.
The underserved gap in student housing is most severe in Nairobi, which hosts the majority of the country's major universities, including Kenyatta University (KU), University of Nairobi and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), as well as some of its best private universities, such as United States International University and Strathmore University. Overall, the city accounts for 43.1% of the country's total student enrolment.
For developers moving to serve this missing segment, the yields are among the strongest currently available in real estate, with student accommodation normally offering individual rooms around shared facilities, and thus generating multiple rental streams per shared unit. The result is a yield of around 7% a year, compared with around 5% for normal residential accommodation.
This has seen multiple private investors entry into the market segment, among them Acorn Group, Questworks, Century Developments Ltd/Kuramo, and the Kenya Defence Forces Old Comrades Association (Defoca), who cumulatively plan to deliver 60,800 student units in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area over the next five years.
With most of this accommodations still in the pre-development phase, the timing of the current university closures has, in some ways, been relatively fortuitous for the student housing developers, coming early in the revenue curve.
However, for the more than 2,000 completed units, the annual return is expected to take a hit as universities closed abruptly in March with reopening dates scheduled for January 2021. Ongoing developments have also slowed down due to the supply chain disruptions and public transport restrictions.
As the sector's most attractive segment currently, student housing has attracted some of its most modern and agile investors, among them Acorn Group, which is the country's largest student housing developer and which currently dominates the sector's investment plans by market share.
The group was the first in Kenya to raise funds with a certified green bond, raising Sh4.3bn to build up to six green-certified student properties to ensure lower operating costs, more efficient use of resources such as power and water, and a low-carbon impact for 5,000 students in Nairobi.
The bond subscription provided Acorn with a buffer, where its rapid expansion and the consequent financial stretch saw its profitability of Sh77.9 in 2017 converted into losses in 2018, prompting the suspension of its dividend payments. It has also now raised additional financial support from its shareholders, Acorn Investments Limited and Accord Holdco through the private equity firm Helios.
The company's resulting resilience in a sector that continues to have excellent mid-term prospects is, thus, almost entirely borne of its parallel nature as a financial company and innovator.
Of course, student numbers may be suppressed by the fall-out from the current pandemic, as newly jobless or income-impaired parents can no longer afford fees, as the government's funds for HELB loans may become cramped, and as the universities, too, make changes to cope with the dropped income from this academic year. However, ultimately, the shortfall in student accommodation is so large, that the number of accommodated students is unlikely to drop to just one-third of current levels.
Resilience in student housing investments in current times has required real financial cushions and financial agility This holds true throughout the entire real estate industry. Since real estate investments require large amounts of capital investment upfront against sales or rental yields later, and those sales and rentals rest on multiple elements of market conditions.
Moving forward, it will be critical for developers and operators to identify and prioritize the elements in student housing that are most important to students beyond physical school attendance while factoring in affordability as developers aim to provide the highest quality accommodation possible. This is a challenge we welcome and aim to discuss at the 2020 annual regional investor conference, the East Africa Property Investment summit.

Objectives: The aims of this study are to identify the Immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) in different types of neuroepithelial tumors in Mosul city and to correlate the results with grade of tumor, with the results of other studies and to assess the diagnostic role of GFAP in the diagnonsis of neuroepithelial tumors and their differentiation from neuroglial tumors.
Patients and Methods: This study included 56 cases of neuroepithelial tumors. 22 cases were collected during the period extending from October 2007 to May 2008. (The rest of the cases were retrieved from a filing system extending back to 2004). In addition to two miscellaneous tumors, (one meningioma and the other secondary adenocarcinoma). All cases were obtained from Al- Jamhuri Teaching Hospital in the western side of Mosul City, Northern Iraq and some private laboratories. Typing and grading of the tumors were done according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. IHC procedure was done for GFAP using polyclonal antibodies and chromogen visualizing system. A semi-quantitative histochemical score was used to record the results of GFAP staining according to the system established by Catherine L. Nutt et al.
Results: Thirty seven cases were diagnosed as astrocytoma, while 8 cases out of ependymoma, 4 cases of oligodendroglioma, and three cases medulloblastoma were shown. In addition, this study revealed that one case for each of: oligoastrocytoma, Medulloepithelioma, atypical rhabdoid tumor and astroblastoma. Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) was expressed in 85.7% of neuroepithelial tumors. Higher GFAP positivity was found in glioma than other types of neuroepithelial tumors (P value <0.05). On the other hand, GFAP was expressed in (36%) of astrocytoma. In oligodendroglioma, 3 cases out of 4 were positive while all cases of ependymoma were positive. In addition, oligoastrocytoma was positive while the remaining cases of neuroepithelial tumors were negative. In general, each type of glioma had special staining pattern of GFAP. GFAP status was found to be inversely related with the grade of glioma (P value <0.05).
Conclusions: GFAP is expressed more frequently in glioma than in other neuroepithelial tumors and this result is similar to many other studies done outside Iraq and it is correlated inversely with the grade of tumor. So, it is a valid supplementary diagnostic procedure for neuroepithelial tumors and a reliable marker to differentiate between glial from non-glial tumors on one hand and between different types of glial tumors on the other hand.

The purpose of the study was to identify effects of anxiety, social support, and Taegyo practice toward maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women having an abortion.
Participants included 99 pregnant women having an abortion, who participated in this study. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression with the SPSS WIN 23.0 program.
Maternal-fetal attachment was significantly negatively correlated with anxiety, and significantly positively correlated with social support and Taegyo practice. Spousal support and Taegyo practice, explained 43.8% of participants' maternal-fetal attachment.
Results indicate that less anxiety and more social support, and Taegyo practice in pregnant women having an abortion, were associated with stronger maternal-fetal attachment. To strengthen the maternal-fetal attachment of pregnant women having an abortion experience, it would be necessary to develop and implement the Taegyo program, focusing on practicing Taegyo-related encouragement. Additionally, it is recommended that nursing intervention is provided, to encourage families to participate in the Taegyo practice together throughout the gestational period, and to maintain a positive relationship among partners.

Saudi Arabia plans to create a 2.6 GW neighborhood in Mecca, according to Saudi media reports.Photovoltaic projectTo optimize the country's dynamic structure and complete the sustainable development of the national economy.
The Saudi Ministry of Power and Mecca signed a memorandum of understanding on the intention at the second Mecca Economic Forum on Sunday.
The 2.6 GW project will be developed by the Saudi Power Ministry in collaboration with the Mecca Development Authority and will be implemented in two phases.
According to the memorandum of understanding, the Saudi Renewable Power Development Office will open tenders for 600MW of this year, and the rest will be developed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund and its partners.
Saudi Arabia is now shifting from fuel-fired power to renewable power generation. In the past year, Saudi Arabia also endorsed the creation of a 300MW utility-planned photovoltaic power plant in the northern AI Jouf area.

Last year I went a bit mad with the crochet, both in terms of what I created and what inspired me. But since Little Man has been born my crafting time has been severely limited.
And that is as it should be, of course. But I have missed it.
I did the very same thing just the other day with this hat. I like little projects like this which I made for one of TJ's colleagues who is expecting a baby very soon. They work up so quickly and make me remember that even though the big projects like the blanket can be so daunting at times, they are worth it for the end result.
I can feel the passion for crochet creeping up inside me one more, making my fingers twitch to grab hold of the hook and yarn and just go for it. And having let go of that need for "perfection" it is all the more enjoyable now.
Tell me, what are you working on right now?

Jean-Luc Adam Wins First Bracelet and $255,623 in Event #58: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em
November 03, 2021 Brandon Bloom
On the third and final day of the 2021 World Series of Poker Event #58: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em, a champion was crowned as Jean-Luc Adam defeated Eugene Salomon in heads-up play for $255,623. The event attracted 1,893 super seniors to create a prize pool of $1,685,660, with the majority of that money awarded to the remaining players today. There were 283 players who cashed and 65 of them returned today looking for gold, but only Adam was able to bring the bracelet home.

Winner's Reaction
The 69-year-old Adam is from France and currently lives and works in Saint Martin, an island in the Caribbean. In 2019, he won his first WSOP Circuit ring from an event in Saint Martin where he took home the first-place prize of $10,500, although that pales in comparison to what he will be taking home today.
"I'm dreaming. It's very strange, a strange sensation," said Adam. "I felt good for all of the tournament and I felt very relaxed… I never think about first place, but only play every hand. It's a very nice moment… I like to play for pleasure. I like to have emotion. It's a very strange sensation for me because I don't realize that it's a world championship. It's very unbelievable, I don't understand now. It's too soon, I just finished the tournament. I can't realize exactly everything now."
"I am thinking first to my family. The most important thing to me is my family. My wife, my daughter, and my son… My son plays poker well. Very well. He taught me."
Poker Fan Loses Job, Twitch Streamer Gifts Him WSOP Main Event Package
His son, Cedric Adam, won his own WSOP circuit ring in Saint Martin less than one week after his father did back in March 2019.
"My family is the most important in my life. I have a very nice family and of course, I am thinking first of them. It's very, very nice. A very nice sensation… I am so happy!"
Action of the Day
There were 65 players who returned to the felt today and that number started to drop at a brisk pace. About five hours into the day, only 27 players remained on three tables and from there, it was only an hour or so until 18 players remained on two tables.
Fourteen players made it to dinner break, although they still returned hungry for the bracelet. About an hour after dinner, ten players converged on a single final table, all looking to satiate their appetite for gold.
At the unofficial final table of ten, Day 2 chip leader David Slaughter was the first to go after getting pocket fives in against the pocket deuces of Adam. A deuce appeared on the flop to send him home. It was Gary Pagel who followed that exit when he lost a flip to Solomon.
After a short break, Scott Sukstorf made "the hardest call he made in the whole tournament", and doubled through Reginald Powell. That left Powell short and he was the next one to go in eighth. Girish Apte hit the rail next when running ace-jack into ace-king, and that left six players with a stack.
Joseph Richards found his way to the payout desk next after getting sevens in against Adam's ladies, and Alex Katsman, who started the day with a short stack and spun it up, saw his run come to an end when flipping against Solomon and getting beat on the river.
Team Ruter Crowned Event #59: $1,000 Tag Team Champions ($113,366)
Bill Stabler was the next player to wave goodbye in fourth, and Scott Sukstorf got his chips in against Adam's cowboys and couldn't find the ace he was looking for. That set up a heads-up showdown between Adam and Solomon, with Adam holding a chip lead of about two times that of Solomon.
Both players had a decent amount of blinds, but it didn't take long for all the chips to get in. Adam called Solomon's shove on the turn after Adam flopped two pair, and Solomon was only live to a gutshot straight draw. The river was a blank, and Adam was officially a World Series of Poker bracelet winner.

During the Seventies, a young and rich Bill Gates was cited for traffic violations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Microsoft was previously based. One of his very first purchases with the Microsoft money he made was on a Porsche 911 super car. Gates, at the time was said to be a real speed demon, and while he enjoyed the excitement of driving, faced plenty of driving tickets. One ticket was most famous for leading to a mugshot photo of a very young, baby-faced Bill Gates at 21, in New Mexico. Images show Gates in the 1970s being photographed at the Police station, arrested on traffic violations. The tech-entrepreneur smiled during the shoot as he eventually bailed himself out. Gates himself admitted that he'd occasionally "drive around at high speeds", in an attempt to clear his mind and he joked that "Fortunately, I didn't kill myself doing that,". Gates isn't the only tech-entrepreneur with a real car enthusiasm, but as he's one of the richest men in the world, he'll be recognised anywhere he drives. He has since gone onto own a series of rare and expensive Porsches that we'll take a look at.

UPDATE 1-U.S. court order stops some work on Mountain Valley natgas pipeline in W. Virginia
(Adds analyst comment, estimates on delay and cost)
June 25 (Reuters) - EQT Midstream Partners will stop construction in West Virginia of parts of its $3.5 billion Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline after a U.S. federal appeals court issued an order last week against a permit, a U.S. regulator and the company said.
The pipeline company will not proceed with construction in waters affected by the stay order in West Virginia, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a document on Monday.
Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) told FERC it was consulting on the implications of the stay by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit with the U.S. Army Corps, which issued the permit in December 2017, FERC said in the notice.
In May, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers pulled a permit for the Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline from West Virginia to Virginia.
In a statement on Friday EQT Midstream said it looking at options to have the permit reinstated.
The Sierra Club and four other environmental groups had challenged permits the Army Corps of Engineers had issued for construction of the pipeline across streams in West Virginia.
The order stops construction in 591 streams and wetlands in the state and "it may affect construction along the entire route of the pipeline," the Sierra Club said in a statement.
Katie Bays, energy analyst at Height Capital Markets in Washington, said in a commentary on Friday that if court rulings go against MVP, its in-service date could be pushed back to mid-2019 or require re-routing around three rivers.
The 303-mile (488-kilometer) pipeline had been expected to be in service by late 2018. It was designed to deliver up to 2 billion cubic feet per day of gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to meet growing demand for power generation and other uses in the U.S. Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
In a court filing in early June, MVP had argued that if there was a construction delay until December, it would be required to suspend construction entirely on 80.6 miles in West Virginia. Construction would be delayed by at least eight months, it said.
"Under the most optimistic scenario, MVP would incur more than $600 million in incremental expense due to the suspension of construction in these areas until December 1, 2018."
The project is owned by units of EQT Midstream, NextEra Energy Inc, Consolidated Edison Inc, WGL Holdings Inc and RGC Resources Inc. EQT Midstream will operate the pipeline and owns a significant interest in the joint venture. (Reporting by Nallur Sethuraman in Bengaluru Editing by David Gregorio and Bill Trott)

Spurs move percentage points ahead of Thunder into West's top spot
By Kurt HelinApr 7, 2012, 8:30 AM EDT
It's kind of been a foregone conclusion since a month into the season that the Thunder would be the top seed in the West and that all roads to the finals were going through Oklahoma City.
But that road may have a detour now through San Antonio.
The Spurs have now won 10 in a row and you combine that with the Thunder's three-game losing streak and you have two teams tied on top of the Western Conference. But the Spurs are a game ahead in the loss column (and have played two fewer games, they have 13 remaining.
If the teams keep playing as they have the past couple weeks the Spurs will win West — while San Antonio is playing better than anyone the Thunder are stumbling. But the Thunder have an advantage in the schedule.
The Thunder have 11 games left but only four are against likely playoff teams (two against the Clippers). Of their 13 games the Spurs have six against likely playoff teams, including three against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Of course, the Spurs were the top seed last year and got bounced in the first round by the Grizzlies (the team once again nobody in the West wants to face in the first round). I still think they could struggle against a team like that or the Lakers that gets a lot of its scoring out of its front line. However, Tiago Splitter is playing well this year and could prove me wrong.
These Spurs are younger, deeper and have been getting amazing play all season from Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili — things they didn't get last year. Younger role players like Gary Neal and Danny Green are stepping up. Plus "old man" Tim Duncan has averaged a double-double (16 and 10) over the last 10 games. They have been getting those wins while still resting guys, also. Finally, they can play on the road — this is an NBA record 15th consecutive year the Spurs will have had a winning record on the road. If they have home court throughout you have to mention them with the other contenders in the NBA.

EDC donates COVID-testing machines to Ormoc
Lopez-led geothermal energy leader Energy Development Corp. (EDC) has donated P25 million worth of RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) equipment to residents of Ormoc.
EDC has partnered with OSPA Farmers Medical Center (FMC) for the creation of a molecular diagnostic center that will boost coronavirus testing in Ormoc and its nearby provinces.
The company reiterated its commitment to improve the lives of Ormocanons. "We are very privileged to have an opportunity to address a clear gap for Ormoc City, the western part of Leyte, the province of Biliran, and Southern Leyte, that of having an RT-PCR testing center," said EDC president Richard Tantoco.
"While Ormoc City leadership does its job, we too strive to do ours, which is to provide around 40% of the electricity of the entire Visayas that is so necessary now, particularly with remote work and the increased demands on our healthcare system," he added.
EDC owns and operates the 711-megawatt Leyte Geothermal Project, the company's biggest facility which straddles Ormoc City and the Municipality of Kananga and utilizes the largest known geothermal wet steamfield in the world. It comprises the Malitbog geothermal power station, the world's largest geothermal power plant, along with the Upper Mahiao, Mahanagdong A and B plants, and the 36-year old Tongonan power plant, which is one of EDC's oldest geothermal power plants.
In total, EDC generates over 40% of the Philippines' renewable energy output and serves about 10% of the country's overall electricity demand with its installed capacity of 1,473.3MW.
Its 1,179MW geothermal portfolio accounts for 61% of the country's total installed geothermal capacity, putting the Philippines on the map as the world's third largest geothermal power producer.

honest opinion, are these better than my previous ones?
You were shooting just jpg?
To see if there is a difference save in both file formats, RAW and JPG and compare your RAW processed results to your old method.
I am assuming without looking up your cameras manual that you can save in both.
Do you not use DPP that was provided with your camera?
LR6 is a big leap up from DPP IMO, LR5 would be a big benefit as well if you could find someone that upgraded to give you there old version.
It is hard to compare this pictures with the old ones, because the beautyness of a picture can be subjective and dependant on the subject.
As Nitehawk said, try to shoot both format (maybe in a "extreme" situation, low light, high contrast) and try to recover details from JPEG and from RAW.
There you will see a difference, and also in small details.
DPP was my original RAW converter and is available for free from Canon. As Rick said, it should have been provided on one of the disks with your camera or you can download it from Canon USA. I am pretty sure there are several forum members that still use it.
BTW.....I "think" I see a difference, but it is hard without doing a side by side comparison and some of the details would be difficult to tell in files compressed to 1,000 pixels wide. Here is a comparison at 100% of a RAW processed photo vs jpeg straight out of the camera under the same conditions.
Its been years since I did a side by side comparison, but I do recall thinking that the RAW files were also a bit better straight out of the camera compared to jpg. But to me, the real benefit of shooting RAW is that their is more information available to you for each photo which gives you more latitude in post processing. For example, you get better results bringing up shadows, better control at adding color saturation or in changes to tone.
I'll have to look, but I also recall that jpeg is more limited in things like DR, etc, compared to RAW.
EDIT---I did find this on dpreview for the 7D and also reference that jpegs are 8 bit files. Here is a Canon write up when they went from 12 bit to 14 bit. Bottom line is with RAW you have a lot more information to work with ~4,000 shades of gray (assuming ~12 stop DR and not 14) vs 256 (jpeg).

Totally agree with Kayaker.....RAW gives you way more latitude in post processing especially for white balance and exposure corrections in shadows and highlights.
Also DPP 4 is an excellent RAW converter for Canon cameras....to me it is equally good as Adobe ACR in most respects and may even be a bit better in terms of color rendition and noise control.
Its been years since I did a side by side comparison, but I do recall thinking that the RAW files were also a bit better straight out of the camera compared to jpg.
I did the comparison when I bought the 7D II. For the last year I have been shooting RAW + JPG because of all the wasted time converting average family pictures for such a small benefit. Properly exposed, decent ISO with the right WB the amount of improvement you can get is really minimal. This was less so with the older bodies like the 7D and 5D II. Both of those bodies had more head room for pp than the new models. I think Canon's firmware has gotten better and we get better files out of the camera because of it.
I still process generic snaps, since nobody wants you to send them a 20MP image, and, until recently, I had a bandwidth cap.
But yeah, better ability to recover shadows. Better ability to recover highlights (there's an extra stop that would be clipped to white in JPG that you can claim back from a RAW). Better/smoother gradients when applying white-balance, curves, or other modifications. Adobe's noise reduction was superior to everybody else's too... but, recently, some Canon rep said the latest DPP does a better job than the latest Lightroom (when talking about the 7D2). I have not tested that claim.
but, recently, some Canon rep said the latest DPP does a better job than the latest Lightroom (when talking about the 7D2). I have not tested that claim.
I have tested it with the 7D II, but haven't heard that claim.
The noise reduction in camera is better than it used to be so you have less room for improvement, but Lightroom does a substantially better job with noise than DPP.
When I was using Elements, it had a ACR(Adobe Camera Raw). With Lightroom or PS the ACR has more options but elements should have ACR.
wow I didn't think i'd get a response like this, 8 comments overnight!
1: yes until now I've been shooting in jpeg format.
2: my camera can shoot jpeg and raw in the same shot.
3: my laptop disk reader has been broken since before I got my dslr so until recently I had no idea about DDP.
4: I haven't shot any side by side comparisons but will try soon.
5: for awhile now I knew that shooting in raw was better for saving data that's why I've tried hard to find a way to shoot in raw.
thanks Brant for all the links, and thanks to everyone else for your input!
i'm really want to see how the raw does tomorrow at the concert.

A: There is nothing wrong at all. Note that the String "7" is greater than "50". You're looking at them as if there were numbers, but they aren't.

A: The result is perfectly fine, don't think them as number think them as string, as per the ascii value 0 comes first followed by 1, 2, 3 ...7, 8, 9, A, B, C ....X, Y, Z, a, b, c ... x, y, z

Another funny cautionary tale from Holderness!
Ahh, the magic of the holidays. The happiness (and insanity) that happens when families get together… the look on a child's face while tearing apart wrapping paper.
And, one of my favorite parts, the fake reaction you give your spouse when you open a clothing box and it's something that you would NEVER wear.
Granted, this goes both ways. 10 years ago I bought my wife a pair of shoes that she has worn TWICE. She won't give them away or chuck them because of their "sentimental" value, but what was I thinking? Clothing is so incredibly personal. What's more, most of us would rather grin and wear it than disappoint our loved ones.

Trying to get a better vantage point (without getting wet).
In our rush to get to Riverside Park in time to catch the sun rise over the Connecticut River, we left one car about 100 feet from the entrance to another river-side park. Great River Park lies on the east side of the CT River and it also stands bare between a major levy and the rushing water. The two parks have much in common and yet they are quite different.
The first difference, is the fact that while Riverside Park is in the professional big brother City of Hartford, the little industrial brother East Hartford's park is actually better tuned for workers-on-the-go. Riverside Park can be walked to from downtown Hartford, but when driving by, it gives you a clear "how do I get there?" feeling. Great River Park is accessible from several office parks, a couple of hotels and is a short walk across one of two bridges from Hartford. It's also an easy off-on from the highway. In fact, I do that off-on little dance 2-3 days a week.
Great River Park doesn't have any sports fields, no dragon boats, no team-building wall-crawl, and it doesn't have nearly as much parking as its big city sister. But, it has amenities and features that Riverside Park would be envious of, if parks could feel envy.
Being both on the east side of the river and south of the Bulkeley Bridge, Great River Park stares across the mighty Connecticut River at downtown Hartford. The park offers almost 2 miles of lighted walkway along the river, exercise stations, bathrooms, sculpture, some playground equipment, picnic areas, and a boat launch and, according to the website, a 350-seat amphitheater. I have to admit, I've never seen the amphitheater in use, but I've walked the trails and I've taken hundreds of photos from the different little "river watching" venues along the length of the park. I've seen runners, joggers and walkers, all start their day on the various paths. I've seen fisherfolks launching all manner of craft into the river and I've seen a bunch of people like me, who simply like to start their day next to a river.
I wrote about this before; I'm trying not to repeat myself, but I'll state the title again – there is something about a river that is good for the soul.
Great River Park begins at the Bulkeley Bridge, a beautiful stone arch bridge that carries Interstate-84 over the river. The park ends, I think, at the Charter Oak Bridge a couple of miles to the south. Hartford's other significant water crossing, the Founder's Bridge crosses in the middle of Great River Park and is easily accessible, if you like climbing stairs. All three bridges have sidewalks, but the website only lists the Founder's and the Charter Oak bridges as providing pedestrian access to Hartford. In reality, only the Founder's Bridge is a viable choice.
The Charter Oak Bridge crosses well toward the south of Hartford's downtown district; it's 2.6 miles from the parking lot at Great River Park to the heart of Hartford via that bridge. The Bulkeley Bridge sidewalk, on the other hand, literally dumps pedestrians onto the on-ramp to I-84 on the Hartford side of the bridge. There's a narrow sidewalk that connects to the northeast corner of the downtown district, but it's not for the faint of heart.
In contrast to the serene reflections and graceful light and shadows found in Riverside Park, Great River Park was a mess. A fast moving river, the noise of traffic and somewhat dirty floodwater greeted us as we tried to get close enough for some interesting photos. My daughter had good timing with her invitation to photograph the river from its flooded parks. The day before, the parking lot at Great River Park was closed, but not yet flooded. Two days later, on my way to work, the parking lot was dry and full of debris.
From the road at the top of the levy, looking down on the parking lot of Great River Park. This was the day before we took our tour.
All that remains after the flood waters receded.
Great River Park's parking lot is under there somewhere.
I hope you enjoy the images in the gallery. Below that is a short video gives you a good idea how fast the water was moving.
Normally, this is a nice little play area along the river.
There she is. We don't usually get too far apart on these photo shoots.
These are the support piers for the Founders Bridge.
This is the exit from the Bulkeley Bridge sidewalk. That "road" is an on-ramp to I-84 East, and beyond it is the highway.
The lighted path is usually 10-30 yards from the water's edge.
The power in that moving water is hard to imagine.
At the northern edge of Great River Park, which begins at the Bulkeley Bridge.
If you look close, you can see where the depth increases inside the banks of the CT River. The water is moving much faster in that channel.
Great River Park isn't flooded yet, but they aren't going to let anyone get trapped down there. The park entrance is at the top of the levy.
Thanks Judy. Given the scenic value of any kind of waterfront property, I cherish the waterfront parks and trails in the Hartford area, as well as in my hometown of Pittsburgh. It took a lot of work and, literally decades, to establish these parks.
That photo with the lamppost in front of the support piers? Fabulous shot.
I am not as interactive with our White River/Fall Creek, but it's much a part of my environment, and an element I enjoy.
Thanks! I discovered the easy-off easy-on nature of this park one day when an accident forced me off the highway. It's a very nice diversion on the way to work. Since I'm usually very early, stopping here is a pretty easy choice to make.
It really does look like a great park. Thanks for all the different views. Have a marvelous Monday.
Thanks Teagan. Wishing you a similarly good day.
You're right, Dan. There IS something particularly satisfying about being by a river, no question. Almost any body of water, in fact. I'm grateful to live near a large bay and within a couple hours' drive of the ocean. Good post!
Thanks Paul. I seemed to have cross wired this comment with the one above it. I hope this lands in the right spot. Sometimes we need those bodies of water to absorb our frustrations or fears or whatever. I'm glad I have it close by too.
I'll bet this area is even more beautiful in the fall when the trees are loaded with colourful leaves!
This park is very pretty in the fall Wendy. Maybe this year, I'll get some pictures.
Thanks Janet. Actually, we might be kind of dry this year. We got very little snow this winter. I've seen much higher flooding in Great River Park in years past.
Oh boy – well at least it looks like the sun is out! My cousin in MA says he can't remember a year during which they've had so little snow.
We had a couple of inches of snow last night and this morning but the sun is out and it's gone.
It was about 16 that morning, with s stiff wind. It was fun though. I'll keep going with her as long as I can.
I'm still totally amazed at the flooding. The photo with the street lamps in the water pretty well says it all.
I would agree your statement "there's something about a river" – no matter how big or small.
Thanks. We've seen worse flooding in this park but it recovers quickly. I think they designed it well.
Such beautiful place. Serene. Thanks for the photos and detailed info. Glad to know places like this exist and are preserved. We need more and more open spaces.
Thanks Silvia. I really enjoy this park.
I love the image of Founder's Bridge. Great composition! I'm wondering, though, if the parks look a little snowier today. Didn't you get a few inches?
Thanks Natalie. It was in the teens.
Great views! That river is moving fast. I'm always amazed at how powerful water can be.
We have a river well it's more like a creek at the moment, but we I don't think we have a nice river view or waterfront anywhere. You're very lucky to have such a great river with nice parks and a nice city skyline behind it.
I drive to the coast which is 30 minutes south or 50 minutes north.
Thanks Deborah. I figured you would know. I asked her to explain. I think her set also has the relevant laws that photographers should be aware of, printed on the back of them.
The fast moving river is a very real hazard, and one reason we always go together. It only takes a few inches of water pushing up against you for you to be in serious trouble, especially with all the debris.
Beautiful photos and good read, Dan. Thank you for sharing with us. I played your video clip; I enjoy the sound of moving water. Have a great day!
The blue in your photos just pops off the page. I enjoyed your pictures, Dan. Nothing better than a park with so much to offer.
Thanks Audrey. Having such easy access to the river is one of the best things about Hartford. It wasn't always this easy. I'm so glad they made these investments.
These were taken weeks before I got sick Amy, but thanks. One of the reasons it took so long to do this post was that I had to sort through a ton of photos and I didn't have the energy to do that.
Dan, I liked Faith standing on the bench, the golden yellow hues on the arches of the bridge and the amazing fluidity, rushing and terrifying water. It is a little scary to me, knowing that if you fell in it is very cold and not easy to catch on to anything. I realize you and Faith were cautious and didn't have any trouble, but the big sister in me (Mom, Nana, friend. . .) had to express a little concern here. I am so happy you posted these extra photographs! Beautiful presentation and montage of effects.
You make that CT River look great. There were rivers like that over here a long time ago. But then, they started shrinking and went on to become worthless streams. And the water turned brown and green. Like goo. Ugly.
Anyway, more excellent photos. The Founders Bridge gives a clearer picture of the flood. It's deep.
50 years ago, Peter, the CT River was, literally, a cess pool. The Clean Water Act, passed in the 60s started the process of cleaning the water by ending the practice of thoughtless pollution. It's taken a very long time, and a lot of money and work to get fish to return and clean water to flow. They've broken dams, lowered reservoirs, and installed sewage treatment plants in every town. There is still a lot of work to be done.
Beautiful place ! Yes, something about a river is good for the soul .
Loved it. I got to see Hartford in a video, so happy. Few days ago, I saw this movie called Concussion, I am sure you must have heard of it. A lot in it is about NFL and I believe I saw many shots of Pittsburgh in it. Can you recommend any movie shot in Connecticut especially Hartford, so I can see more of Hartford?
This park is really great and the photos are amazing. Thank you for sharing this!
I have fond memories of flooded rivers, having grown up in flood plains. Beautiful to look at, but not so good for driving through, lol.
Thanks. No, driving can be dangerous.

Behind The Scenes at Thomas Cook Airlines
By Ashley Quint
Behind The Scenes at Thomas Cook Airlines2017-12-032020-12-03https://traveltimeworld.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ttw-website-header.pngTravelTime Worldhttps://traveltimeworld.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/0062781f-6b45-42a5-9d01-de502b8f17c2.jpeg200px200px
Those who know me would say that I wouldn't miss type opportunity to look around the facilities of an airline. So, that is exactly what I did, thanks to Thomas Cook Airlines at Manchester Airport, the main base of the airline in the UK.
You might think that it really isn't a 'proper' airline, stuck in the 80's and 90's of the traditional 'charter airline', but think again, Thomas Cook Airlines is no longer a charter airline, but one that fits the need of all leisure travellers – either on long haul or short haul across their net work.
Their operations base at Manchester Airport is a hanger, located opposite the main terminals and is one of the largest in Europe. Able to accommodate multiple long haul, such as the Airbus A330, or short haul aircraft such as the 757 or A321, it is one of the airlines main technical bases across its sister carriers – Thomas Cook Scandinavia, Thomas Cook Belgium and Condor in Germany.
Fully integrated with the sister airlines, they are able to switch aircraft and crews across the fleet and share commercial advantages such as slots at airports and maintenance facilities.
An impressive sight, when I visited in early December there were three aircraft inside, a 767 which has just come off lease and was being prepared to go back to the owner (lessor), and two 757's, one of which was Condor. An A330, which I had hoped to have seen had just left, ready for a departure to New York.
The airline is currently in the middle of refurbishing their short haul fleet, predominately the A321 with new slimline, lighter seats than previously which give more legroom throughout the cabin. Having tried the new seat, it is very comfortable and comparable with many other airlines. Less depth than British Airways' new Pinnacle seat, and more comfortable than the new easyJet seat, with an emphasis on comfort given the increasing sector lengths to the Canaries and Cape Verde Islands.
In addition to the new seats, a new wireless IFE (In Flight Entertainment) system is going to be introduced shortly on short haul, where customers will be able to stream movies and content to their devices in flight, along with purchasing items from Airshoppen (Duty Free), or purchasing food and snacks.
On long haul, the premium push continues and a change of direction from relying on traditional package holidays. Replicating its sister airline in Germany – Condor, Thomas Cook Airlines now offer leisure orientated scheduled flights with a strong emphasis on their Manchester base. These have expanded and now include New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Caribbean. A new route has also just started from Gatwick to Cape Town.
A refreshed Economy cabin includes IFE at every seat, while a new Premium cabin aims to compete with the popular Premium Economy cabins of the mainstream airlines. A larger seat, with more legroom along with other added such such as a larger baggage allowance.
A popular element of their onboard experience are the meals designed by celebrity chef James Martin. This isn't just a branding of a meal, as you see in some ready meals, but he is involved from the concept to the final product, even tasting them onboard where you taste buds are reduced anyway.
In cooperation with LSG, a major airline catering provider, the meals are available on all short haul flights, but only on the outbound (ex-UK) as it isn't possible to replicate it with outside suppliers in different countries.
A new innovation, and the first airline to do it in the UK, when flying with Thomas Cook Airlines you will be able to reserve duty free on non-EU flights through 'Airshoppen' an online store up to 7 days in advance, where it will be delivered directly to your seat onboard. It will also be possible to reserve on you outbound flight, to be ready on your inbound if you are travelling 7 nights or more.
Looking around the facility it is a really slick operation, and is the main operating base in the UK looking after engineering and operations. Taking care of everything from routine maintenance, to repairing aircraft after an incident such as a bird strike it is all under one roof.
Upstairs is the operations department, there to ensure the smooth day to day running of the airline, making sure all the crews and aircraft are in the right places at the right time. That isn't a easy job and they have an army of staff to make sure this happens. To aid this, they have two aircraft on standby – two in the Canaries in the Winter, and two at Manchester in the summer, aimed at minimising delays if there is a problem with an aircraft.
This isn't a charter carrier any more, this is a full fledged carrier to match easyJet on short haul flights, and the likes or Norwegian on the long haul. Impressive definitely, but remaining affordable for the leisure traveller.
Many thanks to Ben Todd, the Head of Communications at Thomas Cook Airlines (UK) for giving me a guided tour of the facility.

Q: How do you combine two split data back into original (numpy) I have a data named Total and I split it into features and labels as below. Later I split them into training and test data.
Total_X = Total[:,:-1]
Total_y = Total[:,-1]

Train_X , Test_X , Train_y, Test_y = train_test_split(Total_X,Total_y,test_size = .3)

Now I want to combine Train_X and Train_y and create a new list which is like Total.

A: Are you sure you wanted to divide them in the first place?
test_len = np.floor(len(Total) * 0.3)
test_xy, train_xy = Total[:test_len], Total[test_len:]

And then if you need them, you can extract test_x = test_xy[:,:-1] etc

Shoes …for me that just about says it all in my fashionista world! I love SHOES! I love shopping for them! I love finding that bargain! I love love love boots and a the huge sale Dillard's has once a year on shoes/boots with an extra 50% off. I am totally in love with a pair of Christian Louboutin Bianca Platform shoes that I know I can't afford and probably will never own.
For me to think of a child with no shoes just makes we want to cry. Those precious little bare feet in a third world country, getting cracked, cut, bruised, diseased.
…how do they run and play and jump and dance? This makes me sad.
I love the concept – Purchase a pair of Tom's Shoes …and a pair of shoes will be provided to a child in need.
Over the past several years organizations have caught on and taking on the cause of One Day Without Shoes. Entire companies conducting business with no shoes. Coaches coaching basketball games without shoes. Going to and from work, walking the streets, to find out just what a single day of an unprotected foot can feel like.
Will you go One Day Without Shoes to help raise awareness?!
Go Get a Pedi so those toes look fab …and not callouses showing …I mean we are fashionista's you know!


The Tacoma Fire Department allows visits to neighborhood fire stations to interested educational and community groups. All requests for visits must be processed and approved by Fire Headquarters.
Tacoma Fire Department will be offering group fire station tours at six designated stations (station 4, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 16). Tours will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays, the first and third weeks of each month, from 9 AM - 11 AM. Only one station tour can be scheduled per location each month, and once that station has a tour scheduled it will not be available until the following month. Follow this Fire Station link to view the station locations.
The following guidelines regarding group station tours have been implemented to ensure the safety of the visiting groups and to assist TFD firefighters with better time management in fulfilling their community service duties.
The group must be in the City of Tacoma.
Fire station tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.
Fire station tours last 20 - 30 minutes.
The maximum number of participants is 30 and requires one chaperone for every five children. This must be kept in mind when touring the station. Therefore, appropriate ratios of children to chaperons are required.
Visits may only be scheduled between 9 AM - 11 AM.

Watch: Pantera Covered Metallica Songs With Dimebag Darrell On Vocal Duty + Jason Newsted Joined The Band Onstage
Dimebag Darrell: Rik Goldman, CC BY 2.0, Wikipedia / Jason Newsted: Achim Raschka / CC-BY-SA-4.0, //commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:13-06-09_RaR_Newsted_14.jpg / Phil Anselmo: Pantera Facebook
Published on: Jul 25, 2022, 6:41 PM
Today is the 39-year anniversary of the debut Metallica album Kill 'Em All, and to pay tribute to that awesome record, we wanted to share an incredibly bad ass performance of Pantera covering Metallica songs.
Our friends over at Revolver initially shared this video, and it blew us away. Around this time in history, Pantera would have released their seventh studio album, Far Beyond Driven.
As you will see below, during a Pantera show, the band decided to cover the Metallica songs "Seek and Destroy" and "Whiplash," which are tracks off of Kill 'Em All. Phil Anselmo decided to take on the role of guitarist, and Dimebag Darrell took on vocal duty.
Making for an additional treat alongside these covers, ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted walked out on stage and performed the cuts alongside Pantera. If you are curious to see Anselmo on guitar, Dimebag on vocal duty, and Newsted playing alongside them, you can find that video below.
Dimebag Darrell covers Metallica
What do you think of this collaboration? What might a Pantera x Metallica collab sound like today?
When it comes to other Pantera related news, there sure has been a lot going on. When it comes to the upcoming Pantera shows happening in 2023, multiple musicians have shared their two-cents. Ex-Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler actually spoke to the late Vinnie Paul about such an idea; a guitarist from ACCEPT also recently shared his opinion. Whereas someone like ex-Cannibal Corpse singer Chris Barnes is not a fan of these shows, Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows sees them as a positive thing.
Zakk Wylde, who will be performing as the band's guitarist for these upcoming shows, recently shared, "Obviously, it's not Pantera. Pantera is those four guys — it's Phil, Rex, Dime, and Vinnie. But it's just like when [Led] Zeppelin went out with Jason Bonham [son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham] playing, it was phenomenal. I told Jason, I was just, like, 'Dude, you crushed it, man.' It's a great thing just to hear them play that music again."

As a consultant I am constantly trying to explain to people the value of business planning. I come up with different ways to articulate it. I devise all kinds of marketing materials and websites trying to explain it.
But even if I am successful and someone gets the concept, they still don't "get it." They still think of it as unnecessary fluff.
When you're a child you just want the end result. Children just think, "I want to be a CEO." When you explain the additional six to eight years of school it takes, they see that time as an obstacle like a stick they have to jump over to win a race or a mom they have to whine to in order to avoid a bath.
In their minds the process of going to school that long is not even an annoyance, but merely a necessary blip on their way to being chief executive officer of a blue chip company.
As you get older you learn that even with a degree or certificate or whatever it is that says you are something special, people still want experience. They want to know you have gone through some processes, some growth, some pain and failure so you know what to do next time. The experience is the value. The degree gets you a $50,000 or $100,000 salary, but the experience is what gets you the $500,000 or $1,000,000 salary.
Every adult understands this concept. So why is it that some entrepreneurs and managers constantly want to skip the value of the process? When they are contemplating starting a new company, buying an existing one or marketing a new product, they sometimes want to skip the process and just get to starting and buying and running their new toy.
Is it because maybe they think they are too smart to have to do it? Is it maybe they feel they have paid their dues with the schooling and experience they have already endured? Is it because they are lazy? Is it because it's just no fun to learn when you can just get to the end product?
I guess maybe that's part of the fun of being an entrepreneur – doing what you want. Skipping the things you don't like or concentrating most of your time on the things that energize you.
But if you look at successful large companies that have made it for years, reinventing themselves when necessary and having long-term profitable success, they are able to do that because they don't skip the process.
The CEO of Honda doesn't pick the shape and color of his personal dream car. He engages the company in the process of determining what the customer wants and what works best. They then go through the process of engineering to determine how to build the car to meet those needs and be safe.
Next, they go through the process of determining the best way to effectively market the new car using all the information they learned during the first two steps.
This process allows them to put out a car that has the best chance of selling and not having any safety issues. And they are pretty darn good at it based on the historical success of Honda and their models.
Now just imagine what kind of company they would be if the CEO just churned out whatever suited his fancy over the years. And imagine if he skipped the process of proper engineering, what kind of issues those cars might have and money that would be wasted by lawsuits and recalls.
It's a silly concept right? But entrepreneurs and managers skip the process every day.
When it comes to entrepreneurs and managers blowing off business plans or marketing plans, part of the problem may be in understanding the specific value of the process. We have determined that it's not the product or finished plan that is of value. That is oftentimes a pretty bound document that no one really wants to read.
The process of doing a plan is nothing more than answering a series of thought-provoking questions.
Then I ask them to humor me and answer the question and that's when the wheels fall off.
Without fail I get strange looks from the client in the beginning of the process and without fail we eventually hit a question that is seemingly simple yet crucial to the person's business and they have the hardest time in the world answering it.
It is at that point that the light bulb goes off and the value starts to emerge.
I don't get very excited until we hit that stumper question – whatever it may be for your particular situation – because I know that's where the value is. That is the question that is going to mature the person's marketing or startup plan to the point of being successful because they will be forced to figure out the answer before they lunge forward.
This process has saved many an entrepreneur and manager from financial and personal setback or failure just like it saves Honda from putting out ugly cars that break.
