I like things that go "boom." Sonic or otherwise, that means I tend to gravitate towards defense and aerospace stocks. But to tell the truth, over the course of a dozen years writing for The Motley Fool, I have covered -- and continue to cover -- everything from retailers to consumer goods stocks, and from tech to banks to insurers as well. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook for the most important developments in defense & aerospace news, and other great stories besides.

In my recurring Fool column, "Get Ready for the Bounce," we search for future winners in a pile of 52-week losers. But do we really need to sit around for a whole year, waiting for a fallen stock to bounce back?
Nope. Sometimes stocks fall hard, in far less time than a year. And like a superball dropped from the balcony, the harder they fall, the higher they bounce. Today, we'll look at a few equities that've suffered dramatic drops over the past week. With a little help from the 170,000 members of Motley Fool CAPS, we hope to find an opportunity or two for you:
How Far From 52-Week High?

Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) (18%) $10.45 *****
National Bank of Greece (NYSE: NBG) (72%) $1.65 ****
Bank of Ireland (NYSE: IRE) (78%) $2.30 ***
Allied Irish Banks (NYSE: AIB) (82%) $0.91 ***
eBay (NYSE: EBAY) (10%) $28.36 ***

Five super falls -- one superball
There's no two ways about it. If you owned any of the five stocks named above last week, you're significantly poorer for it today. Let's start off with the biggest story of the week:
Last month, I quoted CAPS member aordinaryguy on the subject of persistently bullish sentiment for Allied Irish Banks. Said he: "This bank will either get nationalized (and a complete loser) or come back strong and be a multibagger. I'm betting on the too big to fail multibagger scenario ..."
As it turned out, the former scenario was the correct one, as Ireland will step in to save Allied Irish Banks from default, injecting 3.7 billion euros of capital to stabilize the institution and raising taxpayers' stake in the bank to 93% from 19% -- de facto nationalization. That's having knock-on effects both near (Bank of Ireland) and far (National Bank of Greece), because everywhere you look, investors are dialing up the risk ratings on shaky European financial institutions.
In other news, eBay took a shellacking when its Skype subsidiary suffered an outage and promised to refund customers for their downtime. (But wait! You mean some people actually pay for Skype? Seems to me, the more money eBay has to refund, the more paying customers it actually has -- and perhaps the better the news for shareholders ... ) In any case, eBay plans to let go of Skype in an IPO soon, which should limit the long-term effects on the parent company.
Last but not least, Infinera got whacked for ... honestly, I'm not sure why. Searching the newsfeeds, there doesn't seem to be any reason behind investors' sell-off of Infinera shares last week. No news at all, in fact. Meanwhile, CAPS members continue to give it a big thumbs-up and a five-star rating. Could this be a buying opportunity?
The bull case for Infinera
A lot of Fools seem to think so. (Heck, it's even a multi-recommendation from Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Options.) CAPS All-Star RLBOWERSOX praises Infinera's "highly acclaimed and unique technology" for speeding data along the Internet. Fellow All-Star alfred13 agrees that Infinera has "built a better mouse-trap" than rivals', which include what Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) or Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) currently offer, "and it has much upside."
Meanwhile, 4Foolz is attracted by the company's "razor/blade product set. Its a long term winner ... assuming no better technology comes around."
And of course, I'm all in favor of unique high-tech mousetraps. Still, I notice that when it comes to discussions of Infinera, bulls tend to be long on predictions and praise, but short on numbers to back up why they think these will translate into profit. I mean, might Alcatel or Cisco buy out Infinera to acquire its supposedly superior technology? Sure they could. But if they don't, we need to make sure that Infinera can perform equally well as an investment all on its lonesome.
That, unfortunately, is where I fear the bull case for Infinera breaks down. Now don't get me wrong -- Infinera's not all bad. For example, unlike many unprofitable companies (Infinera has only ended the year in the black once in the past five years), it doesn't have runaway capital spending eating all its profit. Rather, capex has remained remarkably constant at roughly $20 million annually for the past five years. Would that I could say the same about cash flow, however ...
Cash flow, you see, is exceedingly bumpy at Infinera -- positive one year, then significantly negative the next. Right now the company's at more or less break-even free cash flow, with $1.5 million generated over the past 12 months. (By the way: Kudos.) But over the past five years, free cash flow has more often run the other way, as Infinera averaged an annual cash burn-rate of roughly $40 million per year.
Foolish takeaway
With more than $270 million in the bank, and no debt to offset, Infinera has plenty of cash to fund its operations for the foreseeable future -- heck, if it can generate positive free cash flow, as it now seems intent on doing, maybe Fools are right to be rating this stock a significant long-term outperformer.
From my perspective, though, a million or so in free cash flow still isn't good enough to justify the billion-dollar market cap. I need to see some significant improvement on the cash flow statement before I'll be prepared to call this one a bounce candidate.
(But that's just my opinion -- I could be wrong. If you have a different opinion of the company, here's your chance to tell us about it. Click over to Motley Fool CAPS and sound off.)

Apache Calcite 1.7.0 is the first release since
[Avatica became an independent project]({{ site.avaticaBaseurl }}/news/2016/03/03/separate-project/).
Calcite now depends on [Avatica]({{ site.avaticaBaseurl }}/) in the
same way as it does other libraries, via a Maven dependency. To see
Avatica-related changes, see the
[release notes for Avatica 1.7.1]({{ site.avaticaBaseurl }}/docs/history.html#v1-7-1).

We have [added](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1080)
an [adapter]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/cassandra.html) for
[Apache Cassandra](https://cassandra.apache.org/).
You can map a Cassandra keyspace into Calcite as a schema, Cassandra
CQL tables as tables, and execute SQL queries on them, which Calcite
converts into [CQL](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql/CQL.html).
Cassandra can define and maintain materialized views but the adapter
goes further: it can transparently rewrite a query to use a
materialized view even if the view is not mentioned in the query.

This release adds an
[Oracle-compatibility mode](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1066).
If you add `fun=oracle` to your JDBC connect string, you get all of
the standard operators and functions plus Oracle-specific functions
`DECODE`, `NVL`, `LTRIM`, `RTRIM`, `GREATEST` and `LEAST`. We look
forward to adding more functions, and compatibility modes for other
databases, in future releases.

We've replaced our use of JUL (`java.util.logging`)
with [SLF4J](https://slf4j.org/). SLF4J provides an API which Calcite can use
independent of the logging implementation. This ultimately provides additional
flexibility to users, allowing them to configure Calcite's logging within their
own chosen logging framework. This work was done in
[[CALCITE-669](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-669)].

For users experienced with configuring JUL in Calcite previously, there are some
differences as some the JUL logging levels do not exist in SLF4J: `FINE`,
`FINER`, and `FINEST`, specifically. To deal with this, `FINE` was mapped
to SLF4J's `DEBUG` level, while `FINER` and `FINEST` were mapped to SLF4J's `TRACE`.

I've read AMNESIA MOON. It's not a collection. It's a novel.


This is the time for food lines. No, not the ones where people wait to buy artisanal cheeses, organic turkeys and handmade pies for Thanksgiving. It's the time for food lines because the end of the month is near, which for many families means their food stamp allotment has run out and dollars are tight.
Most working New Yorkers don't actually see these lines because they are too busy working. But scattered throughout the city, like latter-day versions of Depression photos, grandmothers and children, men and women wait hours for a bag of groceries at a food pantry. Many of the hungriest are children and the elderly. And many have jobs whose hours and salaries have been cut.
Mind you, they are the lucky ones.
This is not unexpected in a city where the gap between haves and have-nots is wide. But while the persistent image of the hungry in New York is that of the bedraggled, single homeless man, the real faces of need look much different, said Margarette Purvis, the president and chief executive of Food Bank For New York City. The food bank enlisted Ms. O'Loughlin to document its work, which includes not just feeding people but also offering help with an array of social and financial services.
Her group estimates that 2.6 million New Yorkers have problems buying food. While homeless men were their target population when the group began its efforts 30 years ago, children now account for 500,000 of their clients each year. Another fast-growing group, Ms. Purvis said, was elderly residents on fixed incomes. They, and working adults who cut back on food in order to meet rising rents, are the faces her group wanted to highlight to combat the myths about hunger.
Ms. O'Loughlin came to the attention of the Food Bank For New York City after she photographed another project about a misunderstood and underfinanced institution, the public library. Much more than just a place to borrow books, libraries have also become job centers, literacy centers, citizenship preparation centers and more. Ms. O'Loughlin's photos, which followed borrowers and their books to their homes, provided elusive insights.
Ms. O'Loughlin finds parallels between the projects.
From Brooklyn to the Bronx, in churches and community centers, she found a range of food pantries: from well-stocked, efficiently run operations to mom-and-pop outfits where good intentions exceeded capacity. What they had in common was need, with people waiting three hours or more for a bag of basic grocery items. Meat was a treat. In some places, baby formula and diapers were among the necessities handed out.
Ms. O'Loughlin said that while most of the places she visited limited people to a monthly allotment, more resourceful people trekked to different pantries around the city. Following them home, she saw scenes where people huddled in building lobbies to trade food items or went upstairs to share with homebound neighbors. She also found that some people were better at whipping up something tasty with even the most limited of ingredients.
But she also saw the ripple effects of the economic downturn, which sent people looking for food. Workers whose jobs depended on the spending of others found themselves hit hard.
That includes apathy on the part of fellow New Yorkers who would rather believe people are gaming the system than surviving in an otherwise-gilded city, Ms. O'Loughlin said.
Keep that in mind when you see a grandmother standing outside a church pantry with an empty shopping cart, not just this week, but every week. And keep in mind that for all her need, there is also gratitude for what she gets and what she gives: comfort food.


New year, new beginnings, new resolutions.
I, for one, make it a point NOT to make resolutions! I'd just as soon not disappoint myself somewhere during the year when the realization comes that I couldn't be farther from that list of resolutions. Instead, I create goals and I avoid setting those goals at the start of a new year. Goals, for me are on going. They occur throughout the year.
There is such a difference in the definition of the two: resolution: great determination, a mental pledge, something one intends to do. Goal: an objective. A goal is an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed time frame (from www.businessdictionary.com).
One of my on going goals is to take a minimum of one workshop a year to learn something new. I usually get two in. Perhaps try out a new technique. Or two. Or three. No limit, really! I seem to seek out things that require leaving my comfort zone such as putting on a major art show last year. These goals often caused me a good deal of anxiety and stress, but the end result is worthwhile in the achievement itself.
So, what kinds of goals have you set out for this go-around (see, I didn't say, "year")? If you are comfortable with the 'status quo' how can you expect to grow? Well, assuming that one would want to grow. But, growth comes with leaving that comfort zone. How often do you do that?
In art school, every single one of my instructors asked that we keep a journal. Journaling that involved written and visual entries. At first, I questioned the value of doing this. I could never think of enough things to write down and resisted complying with the assignment. I now understand the value of writing and its role in the creative process. Since then, as an artist, I've tried to do journaling on my own be it a visual one or written one. I can't tell you how many journals I have started only to abandon it, buy another blank journal, start it and then abandon that one too. The pattern repeated itself for YEARS. I felt like an utter failure. This journaling thing didn't seem to be happening for me.
And then, one day in March 2006, a friend of mine was excited about a blog she started and sent me the link to her blog. Prior to that, I never even heard of a blog. What's blog? In a nutshell, it's an on line web journal. But, heck, it really is a LOT more than that! This got me to look at a couple of other blogs by artists and before I knew it, I decided to give it a try. I had no idea what I was doing. I launched my first blog and even though it was baby steps, I felt quite thrilled at being able to do so. For me, blogging gave me the medium I needed to achieve the written and visual journaling process that I had struggled with for so long. Writing is a great way to jump start the creative energy within our right brain, so it compliments the visual creative process. An added bonus is all the other wonderful artists I've met through blogging and their willingness to share tips, techniques, experiences within the community. Not to mention the vast source of inspiration! And, all the collaborative projects that are available should you decide to participate. By the way, this blogging community that you have access to is global!
But, I haven't even scratched the tip of the iceberg as to the benefits of blogging and "why blog"? Since this post is way longer than I would like it to be, check out Jessica's answer to this question here. Or, Leau's insight here. Or, Robin Laws answer here (and her call to other artist's for collaboration).
And last, but not least, let me leave with the link that qualifies as a big finale to this from my friend, Debi Jone's post in regards to giving yourself "Wings for the New Year".
I hope that even if you don't get around anytime too soon in establishing goals for yourself, that you would at least give yourself wings for the New Year to fly on.
Well said, better than I could ever. Love the idea of setting your goals and then working in a way you can measure to reach them.


Beautiful bathroom lighting for such a good price. The light is nice and bright for my hallway bathroom that my kids use. I also love the brushed nickel finish so it's not too shiny.
This 5-light bath/vanity light features a brushed nickel finish that will complement many traditional decors. Clean lines of the steel frame add interest while satin etched glass shades soften the light to create a warm ambiance for any bathroom or vanity space.
These lights are the perfect fit for our new master bathroom. We have a very large space and bought two of these to place over the vanity mirrors. Nice fixture and we really like the look of these.
Arrived with a dent in it. Returning it.

2010.08.27 - WehoDaily/Blabbermouth - Slash Honored At Sunset Strip Music Festival
by Blackstar Sat Aug 28, 2021 1:45 am
From Blabbermouth:
Slash Honored At Sunset Strip Music Festival
The Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) kicked off Thursday, August 26 with a special tribute to the 2010 SSMF festival honoree Slash (Velvet Revolver, ex-Guns N' Roses) at the House Of Blues. Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister and Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell spoke at the event, which was hosted by rock radio veteran Jim Ladd.
Slash remarked on stage: "Picking up the guitar for the first time in West Hollywood, then learning how to play in West Hollywood, starting a band in West Hollywood, and making it in West Hollywood. Getting a record deal at Geffen on Sunset which was the same place my dad used to work at when I was a kid. So I never left here. Everything in my life that is of any importance started in West Hollywood. And the Sunset Strip is like… such a part of me. So to be honored by the Sunset Strip is just a major, major thing for me."

by Blackstar Thu Oct 28, 2021 5:26 am
Another report on the event by Artisan News, Sept. 7, 2010, which includes stories told by Nikki Sixx and Jerry Cantrell during their speeches:
Voice-over: The Sunset Strip music festival once again celebrated a rich tradition of the Sunset Strip, as over 30,000 fans flocked to Hollywood, California from August 26 to August 28 to see sets from the Smashing Pumpkins, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and Fergie, Kid Cudi, Travie McCoy, Neon Trees and Common, just to name a few. Kicking off the three-day event was a tribute to lead guitarist Slash, who has become synonymous with the legendary Sunset Strip having got his start performing with GNR on the legendary Strip back in the mid '80s. Slash easily stands at the top of a short list of rock guitarists to come out of the '80s, who continued to build on their successful career over 25 years into it. Giving speeches during the tribute to Slash were Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell, and the night also included a very special jam with Slash and Motorhead bassist Lemmy Kilmister's side-project, the Head Cat. On the red carpet before performing with Slash, Artisan News caught up with Lemmy Kilmister to get his thoughts on why he respects the legendary guitarist so much.
Lemmy: Well, he walks and talks. You know, he doesn't just talk it, he walks it, too. He puts up, you know… he is what he is. What you see is what you get. He is good.
Voice-over: Nikki Sixx, who has known Slash since before his days in GN'R, also talked about Slash being there when he originally overdosed on heroin and why he loves him so much.
Nikki Sixx: One thing about Slash is he doesn't really want to talk business. He just wants to play guitar and he's a real honest soulful person, and I've always loved that about him. So I called my office and I said, "What are the bullet points?" And I just wanted to point out, this came through my email today. It says, "Nikki, note number one: Slash was there when you died." (laughs) I mean, how fucked up is that? That's rock 'n' roll. I knew Slash before Guns N' Roses, I've known him during Guns N' Roses, and I still know him today. And the one thing that I think about the man is that he's the salt of the earth. He doesn't know he's a rock star; I don't even think he cares if he's a rock star. And he's continued to raise the bar on his level of playing and the quality of his music, and I think that's something to be honored. I just wanted to point one thing out before I step off the stage; it's kind of ironic that we both have the exact same hair style that we did 25 years ago.
Voice-over: Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains also talked about why he's so proud of Slash and why he stands alone in his generation of lead guitarists.
Jerry Cantrell: When we were just getting Alice In Chains together, I actually went and saw Guns N' Roses at the Seattle Center and I brought a demo tape down to give the band. I met Axl after the show, actually, and gave it to him, and as he was walking away, I saw him throw it away (laughs). But I just want to say that Guns N' Roses was a very inspirational band for us, and, as a guitar player, I can't really think of anybody of our generation that stands apart as much as Slash does to me. And from Guns N' Roses to Snakepit to Velvet Revolver and all of the projects that he's been involved in, he's one of the hardest-working people in this business that I've ever met. It's not easy to survive the pitfalls that come with this lifestyle and I'm very proud of Slash, as a human being, for facing some of those challenges as well as his commitment to his family, as a husband and his kids. And I'm just glad you're here, man, and you deserve everything. Thank you very much.
Voice-over: 13,000 music fans flocked to the outdoor festival on Saturday alone when the city of Hollywood closed down the Sunset Strip for the day.

With the exception of an attempt by New York Mayor Bloomberg to divert attention away from his city's woeful lack of disaster preparedness, global warming didn't rate a mention in the presidential election campaign -- but it returned soon after with a vengeance. Karl Rove hadn't stopped arguing over the Ohio result when various voices affiliated with the losing party (such as several scholars from the American Enterprise Institute and Greg Mankiw, a Harvard economist who advised Mitt Romney) began suggesting that a carbon tax was a really good idea going forward. There are good reasons for conservatives to contemplate how their approach to young single women, gays, and immigrants might have contributed to recent defeats, but there is no reason to think that a switch on energy policy -- which is really economic and industrial policy -- might help. A carbon tax would punish the middle class and harm the broader economy now and going forward. It should be defeated the same way as cap-and-tax was defeated.
The first argument advanced in favor of a carbon tax is that it would help reduce emissions that allegedly cause global warming. This is why NASA atmospheric scientist James Hansen occasionally moonlights as an economist to push a carbon tax. Yet a carbon tax that is set high enough to significantly affect emissions would be devastating to American household budgets. A lower carbon tax will have no noticeable effect on emissions.
Carbon "management" is just another massive scam by the left to soak the middle class. Wherever there is a dollar to be had, criminals will figure out a scam to extract it with a tax.


Who Does Estate Planning Affect?
Estate planning affects not only the person making the plan, but primarily the loved ones left behind. Trying to settle the estate of a loved one who failed to make a plan can be extremely painful and expensive. Without a plan in place, many times family members argue over assets that are not specifically listed in the plan. The last thing you want to do is leave an additional burden on loved ones while they are dealing with your loss. By meeting with a Houston estate planning attorney, you can avoid a great deal of the stress that would be left on them otherwise.
Why Is An Estate Planning Attorney Important?
An estate planning attorney can be a great asset when setting up an estate plan. He or she can advise you on setting up a will or a trust and make sure that you do not overlook anything when naming beneficiaries or powers of attorney. An attorney will make sure that all your loved ones avoid probate court, thus saving them a great deal of time and expense. A Houston estate planning attorney can help you avoid the many pitfalls that are out there and make the process for your loved ones that much easier. To meet with a Houston estate planning attorney at Pipkin Ferguson to give yourself the peace of mind that an estate plan can provide, click here.
What Are Living Wills And What Protections Do They Provide?
A living will is an important document for anyone doing estate planning in Houston. In a living will, the creator can specify wishes for or against life-sustaining measures, including feeding tubes, life support and resuscitation. Those doing estate planning Houston may also want to consider a power of attorney. This form will name a trusted family member or friend who can make decisions on behalf of the creator, should the creator become incapacitated. In most cases, a Will, will also elect the same person to handle the estate as the executor, also called a personal representative, though this isn't required. Some wills name more than one person, in case the primary person cannot accept the responsibilities.
What Is A Trust? What Is A Living Trust?
Trusts and living trusts are often created as part of an estate plan. A living trust is created to protect specific money accounts, personal property or other assets from estate taxation or seizure. Living trusts will distribute those funds or assets to designated parties after death. Some living trusts are created only to fund funeral expenses. Even those with few assets use living trusts for this reason. Immediate funds can be dispensed to a designated party to cover funeral costs. There is also the option to meet separately with an attorney to discuss preneed funeral contracts. Trusts can be made and set up for family members to be activated upon death or incapacitation.

Experienced former Inverness Caley Thistle defender Grant Munro has signed a three-year deal with ambitious Highland League club Brora Rangers following his recent departure from Ross County.
David Kirkwood's team have a 100% record in the Highland League this season and are second only to Formartine United, who have also won all their matches.
A statement on the Brora Rangers read said: "Grant had made it very clear from the outset that securing a career off the park was his priority when leaving Ross County and we have given him that time and space to allow him to make a clear plan for himself and his family.
"Several other teams from all leagues in Scottish football had offered Grant deals and we feel very lucky to be the club to have signed him. Grant arrives at Brora with a wealth of knowledge of the game and that will be vital for our team going forward."

NextGen Venture Partners just raised a $22 million fund from 83 investors
Connie Loizos	@Cookie / 2 years
NextGen Venture Partners, a young, Washington, D.C.-based venture firm that's quarterbacked by a handful of investors but fueled financially by a network of hundreds of part-time investors who help with its portfolio, has raised $22 million for its debut fund. (This if you don't count a $1 million pool of capital that it raised from its network in 2015.)
We had a quick chat with Jon Bassett, one of the firm's five partners, late last week to talk about what NextGen is trying to create. That conversation has been edited for length.
TC: NextGen evolved from a group of angel investors, correct? Was this a formal investor group that's just been renamed?
JB: We began as a group of young entrepreneurs based in Washington who agreed to support our companies regardless of whether we personally invested. Over time, we had friends in New York City who wanted to expand this idea, and from there NextGen began to take shape. Now, it's a rapidly growing group of over 650 people who continue to give us an edge in sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support.
TC: Did all of them contribute to this new $22 million fund?
JB: We have 83 LPs in our fund. A large number of them are also our venture partners who invested relatively small dollars. Our anchor LP is Brown Advisory, a $60 billion asset management firm that spun out of the former investment bank Alex. Brown. We also have high-net-worth investors from Dell, Carlyle, and T Rowe Price.
TC: Eighty-three LPs is a lot of LPs to manage. Do you think in the future that you're likely to seek out bigger checks from fewer investors?
JB: We plan to raise larger dedicated funds over time with bigger check writers, but it's important we maintain what makes our model so unique. Our strength in deal flow and portfolio support comes from our venture partners. Also, we [do and will] continue to create SPVs where our venture partners have the opportunity to invest alongside our funds.
TC: Do investors in your network get any special rights or privileges if they more actively help your portfolio companies than other investors in the network?
JB: We've seen great engagement with our venture partners who participate in portfolio support and investment committees when asked. And yes, these investors are given priority in allocations into our investments. We want to incentivize the venture partners who bring us the best entrepreneurs, so the venture partner who sources the deal gets a piece of the carry on that deal as a result of the introduction.
TC: Is this a full-time job for each of you?
We are all committed to this full-time.
TC: Are you charging your investors a typical fixed 2 per cent management fee and a 20 per cent performance fee? A lot of smaller firms out here forego management fees until they establish more of a track record.
JB: Our LPs are traditional 2 and 20 investors.
TC: What size checks are you writing?
JB: Our checks range from between $250,000 to $1 million, pending the size of the opportunity.
TC: And what size ownership stake do you target?
JB: We don't have strict ownership targets. We receive all types of opportunities through our venture partner network, and we don't want to miss out on a great entrepreneur due to restrictions around company ownership.
TC: Are you investing primarily in East Coast companies?
JB: We invest in U.S.- based companies.
TC: What are some of your notable investments to dates, and have you had any exits?
JB: We haven't had any exits yet given our fund began in early 2016, but we have been very happy to find some of the best entrepreneurs by investing alongside some very prominent co-investors. Our last deal was investing alongside Sequoia in [the virtual reality therapy company] Limbix Health, which was sourced through a venture partner. We've also invested alongside NEA in [the smart glasses platform] APX Labs [which was recently renamed Upskill] and alongside Bessemer in Renoviso [a marketplace for home improvement professionals], and we are about to close on an investment alongside Founders Fund this week.
TC: I see you also invested in the transportation startup Hyperloop One, which interested me largely because you participated in such a big round. Why?
JB: It was large, but we invested in an early stage that we believe is consistent with our other investments. A core group of our venture partners are very early employees of SpaceX and alerted us to a very talented group of SpaceX engineers who were leaving the company to bring to life Elon Musk's Hyperloop proposal. These venture partners were angel investing in the round and wanted to include our larger network.
TC: You have offices in Virginia and Washington, both of which have come a long way in terms of its tech ecosystem. Where does it still have ground to make up, in your opinion?
JB: We still don't have the giant tech companies that anchor an ecosystem to create lots of millionaires with industry knowledge and skills to go out and start the next generation of companies.

Let's say you are a brand new website that is blogging in the financial services industry. You enter an already crowded field with goals of changing the way the industry disseminates information to the average investor. Of course you have plans of gaining huge market share of the financial services industry's online media business because you've seen the list of top advertising and guess what, financial services makes up a large % of the top buyers. On the day you launch with much fanfare, you announce on your site that you've generated 40K uniques which looks like a good number, but is it really?
If I had 40,000 unique impressions on my blog, I'd be the happiest person around because 40K for a blog is really a big number. At 40K a day, assuming a .1% CTR and a CPC of $5, I'd generate $200 per day in advertising revenue or $6,000 per month. Not bad numbers but enough room to grow and perhaps I'd quit my multiple jobs and boost the traffic and revenue (not really because I like my political advertising career as well as working with my financial services clients). Of course, the numbers used above are generous, especially 30 days in a month for forecasting. As anyone who markets in the financial category knows, the traffic and activity on the weekends goes to almost zero. So, if you had a blog with 40K per day, that would be an impressive number.
There is huge overlap in viewers in this category with duplication rates of small sites with the big financial publishers approaching 70% and sometimes higher. That means, you can find your audience elsewhere and probably for much lower cost. I've personally canceled deals with publishers, because their rates were too high and their audience duplication rates were nearing 90%.
Even though a lot of financial advertisers will buy big branding units like CBS MarketWatch's Intro. Message (coincidentally TD Ameritrade today), the bulk of their advertising is geared toward hitting strict cost per account numbers.
If I had to be generous with advertising metrics, I'd say a 0.1% CTR with a 2% conversion rate of those clicks into new accounts.
So, using those numbers based on 40K uniques per day, you are looking at 0.8 new accounts per day or 24 per month. Layer on top of that the $5 CPC which again is very generous and you are looking at a Cost Per Account of $250. Neither the number of accounts or the CPA will make the cut and this assumes that there are no other advertisers rotating in. In order to make an impact, you need to at least increase those numbers by a factor of 25 and if you wanted to rotate in multiple advertisers, that would have to be by a factor of 100. That translates into true-believers 4 million uniques per day.
If bloggingstocks.com wants to make an impact in this category, that's the type of numbers you would need in order to have marketers sit up and take notice. These are generous because I didn't even investigate the true end goals of trade volume, assets under management, etc that financial advertisers are looking for in their media buys.
Differentiating bloggingstocks.com from the rest of the already crowded industry is an uphill battle. Not only are you fighting already established publishers, you need volume to have big marketers pay any attention. These are the realities of being a player in the financial services industry.
Gosh you're a really negative person! If I thought like you I would never show up for work.
1. The RPM for a site like bloggingstocks would be $15-50. So, 1M pages = $15,000 to $50,000.
2. We don't have to be huge to win. We're part of the second largest financial site on the Internet: AOL Money. We just have to produce great product day in and day out, and we will be 5-20% of the AOL Money RFPs.
3. We've done 8 stocks and have a handful of bloggers. We've got this crazy concept... we might actually add a couple of more bloggers and stocks. I know, it sounds nuts but we might actually build the site!
4. Publishing is about the margin, not just the top line. Blogs have 2-5x the margin of MSM in our model.
5. 40k a day for a blog at the start is amazing. There are only a handful of blogs in the space that have broken 1m pages a month--and bloggingtstocks did that from day one.
6. We have over a dozen blogs already over 1M pages a month in our network... bloggingstocks will grow and be as big as Joystiq, Autoblog, and Engadget. Give it time.
7. try and be positive in life... all this negativity is not good for your soul!
Funny you took my post as negative, because it was not intended that way. Factual and numbers focused yes, but not negative. You also failed to look at the viewpoint of your customer, the financial services advertiser. The main point of the post was not how a publisher makes money or how you might succeed, but what the metrics look like from the advertiser's point of view.
I actually agreed with you on how impressive the pageview counts were for a blog. However, I won't continue to debate you on your CPM metrics, because well, those are not numbers that I've seen or bought in this category and that includes on AOL.
I've enjoyed the comments back and forth from you, but your commentary regarding negative outlooks on life are entirely untrue and a little condescending. If you spent more time reading on my blog, you'll see a very consistent writing pattern that is often very positive and funny, not unlike my outlook on life. Friends and work associates which include many, if not all of your competitive financial services publishers would disagree with you.
Take care and if you need more proof read the 2nd and 3rd posts under the managing career category tag on the right. Sorry for the formatting on the post Exit Stage Right but I got a little lazy when I imported it over from blogger.
Could you explain how you arrived to the factor of 100? According to my calculation 4,000,000 uniques would result in the same $250 CPA but more accounts and costs. CPA depends on CTR and 2% conversion as mentioned in your post. How does the increase of page views reduce CPA?
The average CPA was not the only issue but also the number of accounts per month. The CPA, in the example above should be cut and the number of accounts increased. I always believed that in order to deal with a site, I needed to get a minimum number of accounts and 25 was way below my minimum. Finally, by adding in more advertisers, you need to increase the number of impressions in order to maintain a minimum number of accounts.

INTERVIEW: Oceanlux chats new single "Hurt Me Harder"
What can you tell us about your new single?
"Hurt Me Harder" is upbeat with catchy melodies. It depicts overcoming toxic relationships with the realization of self confidence and worthiness. We tried to keep the song sounding optimistic and powerful to help others in similar situations.
Will this be leading up to a larger release in the near future, like an EP or LP?
"Hurt Me Harder" is just the first of five singles we are releasing this year. All five will come together to create an EP!
Do you plan on touring this year at all to promote your new music?
This year we plan on playing as many shows as possible. No tours are planned as of yet, but multiple shows are in the works in order to promote each single release.
Where did the inspiration for your new video come from?
Pop art. We wanted to enhance the single with bright colors and sarcasm. The videos brightness brings a fun dichotomy to the otherwise dark and personal lyrics. We were inspired by The 1975, Real Friends and Andy Warhol.
Where can fans watch the new video and listen to the single or connect with you?

INTERVIEW: HAAS chats new single "Behind Those Eyes"
Why was "Behind Those Eyes" chosen as your debut single?
Behind Those eyes was not originally the debut single for HAAS. After recording Behind Those Eyes, we [my producer & I] thought it was just so powerful both musically and lyrically that it became the natural choice.
How was the name HAAS chosen for the project?
After years of trying under my given name, Sam Haas, it just didn't have the impact I wanted. I had been playing around with ideas for months and after Behind Those Eyes was written, I thought about the future. My grandfather was a huge inspiration to me growing up for his musical abilities and wanted the HAAS named to live on through music.
Are you hoping to add other members to the project in the future?
I would love to have members added! I love working with others to create an amazing creative work. I want someone to be as interested and in love with everything we have so far before moving forward full-time with people.
Will you be playing any live shows to promote your new music?
As of right now there are no live shows booked. Hoping to book some shows soon!
What is your biggest goal for HAAS in 2019?
My goal for 2019 is to release more new music for HAAS and also start playing more shows, gaining new fans and hopefully touring everywhere.
Where can readers listen to the track and connect with you?
Readers can find Behind Those Eyes on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, Youtube, etc. I hope everyone can take a listen and enjoy it!
INTERVIEW: Live Well Chats New Music Video For Single "Neck Tattoos"!
1.)Hi guys! What was the band's inspiration for the "Neck Tattoos" video?
Hey back! For "Neck Tattoos" Paul (lead singer and guitar) wanted to do a "one shot" music video. So we had a great parameter to work with for this first video. Max (guitar, backup vocals and co-director) likes to put new spins on an old standard. So with "Neck Tattoos" the one shot feel ends up being the new take on what is a day in the life of a person going through emotional strife, needing to get out of their house and heading to a party. We also liked the idea of using a female lead (Katrina Abreu) as Paul uses a lot of non gender specific pronouns in his lyrics. Stephen Emerick (Director, Filmer, editer) was huge in further developing the plot along side Max and his filming and editing really brought the video home. Also huge shout out to the one man lighting machine, Will Armstrong for lighting every space in the video. It was a lot of fun creating the video and bringing together all the elements to present something we are truly proud of.
2.) Why did you choose to create a video for "Neck Tattoos"?
Neck Tattoos was the first official single we ever released and with our full length nearly complete we really wanted to put out a video for our friends and fans.
3.) Will you be releasing any other music videos in the near future?
We have already filmed a second video and have plans for 3 more on top of that that will all be making their way to the internet starting in spring!
4.) What can you tell us about your upcoming LP?
Our debut full length "Perfectly Temporary" is a collection of songs written by Paul that Max fell in love with when they were on a road trip in late 2017. The songs are straightforward nostalgic feeling anthems that speak on drug use, suicide and suicide prevention, abuse, relationships and life. Beyond that they show what a group of people can do when they support one another in making dreams come to life. We all have become very close in Live Well, it's stemmed from our love for Paul's songs but has become so much more than that. We have all had hard conversations about our own lives and journeys brought out by Paul's songs and all have supported each other in that. It's really amazing what a group of friends can do when they come around a common goal in an open and honest way. "Perfectly Temporary" should leave everyone feeling that love and honesty with every song.
5.) Is "Neck Tattoos" a good representation of the sound we'll hear on the LP?
In some ways for sure, but also "Perfectly Temporary" will have other songs with much different soundscapes, tempos and feel; from the happiest uptempo song, to heavy songs with hardships, to slow and just sad tracks.
6.) Where can readers watch the video and listen to your music?

HAAS Comes To Life In Debut Single "Behind Those Eyes"
VIRGINIA, USA | JANUARY 25TH, 2018 - Virginia-based pop/rock project HAAS have released their debut single, "Behind Those Eyes," out on all digital platforms NOW. After an extensive about of self-discovery and reflection, lead vocalist Sam Haas brings the project to life through a reflective set of lyrics in "Behind Those Eyes." With the track's music video release to follow on February 12th, HAAS approaches the broad pop/rock genre with ease; "Behind Those Eyes" showcases pulsing, rhythmic guitars and powerful lead vocals, reminiscent of 2000's artists Kelly Clarkson and The Veronicas. The single paves the way for HAAS' five-track debut EP, due out later this year. About the single, lead vocalist Sam Haas states:
"Behind Those Eyes" is the debut single off HAAS' upcoming EP. This song is about the dynamics of my relationship with my sister, at a particular point in time, and how an outside influence was changing my perception of her. The song shows the emotional roller coaster that was a year of my life. It shows how an outside influence can have so much influence over someone. This is a song about my efforts to "save" her, but at some point, you have to stop trying and move on. Though this song is immensely personal, I believe that it can be applied to any type of relationship.
HAAS is a pop/rock band from Virginia. The name HAAS stems from lead vocalist Sam Haas who decided to pay tribute to not only her family name but her late grandfather who inspired her through his music. After years of playing around with names and ideas, HAAS became the official name in 2018. Through the use of catchy melodies, rhythmic guitars, and expressive lyrics, HAAS has been able to marry the pop/rock sound. The group uses music not only as an outlet for themselves, but want the music to be an outlet for others. They draw on personal hardships, such as loss, strained relationships, bullying, depression, and anxiety, but also hardships within the world today. HAAS strives to promote a place of safety and inclusivity, where it is okay to be who you are and forget about the real world for a minute. HAAS has discussed being bullied and scared of being who they are and by embracing themselves, they hope to inspire others to do the same; "love who you are and don't be afraid to do the things you want." HAAS plans to release their debut five-song EP in the Spring. Their new single "Behind Those Eyes" is available on all digital platforms NOW.

HAZEL BLOOM RELEASES NEW SINGLE "NOBODY'S NOTHING"
HAZEL BLOOM RELEASES NEW SINGLE "NOBODY'S NOTHING"
BOSTON, MA | JANUARY 18TH, 2019 - Boston-based indie/alternative pop artist Hazel Bloom is back with his second single "Nobody's Nothing," out on all digital platforms NOW. The follow up to his debut single "I Loved You, Once," which has racked up a cool 100,000+ Spotify streams in just a few short months, "Nobody's Nothing" is a continuation of the sound he created and developed in his debut. Hazel Bloom successfully blends together elements of R&B, pop, and electronica, crafting a sound that sets a stylistically unique tone. He sews these genres together seamlessly, setting his music on a platform right next to modern mainstream pop. Much like his debut, "Nobody's Nothing" is primarily electro-based, but the clean production and lyricism allow Hazel Bloom to turn his experimentation into an unforgettable blend of heartache, optimism, and bliss. About the single, Hazel Bloom states:
"Nobody's Nothing" is about my tendency to over analyze situations which in a result, has caused me to miss out and neglect feelings that were present. Sometimes I tend to overthink situations to the point where I miss the beauty of what's right in front of me. I wrote this song to get myself to stop looking for whatever it was I was trying to find. I believe that everything falls into place at the right time in your life and I'm learning to stop trying to find whatever it is I'm looking for and appreciate what is present at the moment.The stylistically unique indie pop artist Hazel Bloom is composed of one main singer/songwriter named Dave Carlin. He designed his stage name largely from a few main facets; the continuous blooming of love and nature. Dave wanted a title that fully defined his artistic vision as well as the ongoing growth of his persona. The main inspiration underlying Hazel Bloom is to create an infectious sound that induces the feeling of all emotions accompanied by heartfelt lyrical composition and melodies. Hazel Bloom encompasses bright and lively Pop melodies mixed with a unique, hard-hitting R&B style to create a uniform sound that will resonate with you. Though being well versed in the music scene, Hazel Bloom is the first artistry that Dave has felt completely alive and at home with. Hazel Bloom plans to leave his footprint in the music industry and has no intentions of letting anything get in the way of that. "Nobody's Nothing" is available on all digital platforms NOW.

Here's To You Returns WIth New Single "Burning Alive" and Announces Upcoming EP "Wonder/Wander: Phase I"
Here's To You Returns WIth New Single "Burning Alive" and Announces Upcoming EP "Wonder/Wander: Phase I"
Photo: Gina Scarpino
LONG ISLAND, NY | JANUARY 18TH, 2018 - NY-based indie pop/rock band Here's To You have released their new single "Burning Alive," out on all digital platforms NOW, which will serve as the lead single off their upcoming EP "Wonder/Wander: Phase I," out Feb 15, 2019. Their first music released since 2015, Here's To You have been giving their groovy indie rock sound a refreshing update and expanding their craft. "Wonder/Wander: Phase I" will serve as one of three small EPs released throughout 2019, ultimately connecting to a full LP, titled "Wonder/Wander," due out later in the year. The three EPs, which they have coined 'Phases', are the result of three plus years in the studio, creating a body of work that represents the band's current synergy. Their signature sound is still present - "Burning Alive" is built around HTY's meticulous guitar work, crisp vocals, and quality tones - but in 2019, their musicianship has matured. About the single, the band states:
"The way this song came to be was kind of crazy and all happened at once. Greg had around 8 bars of this instrumental laid out in a demo, and Charlie took it home and started writing about this crazy, nostalgic, and surreal night he had while visiting his friend at college. Stephan and Mike came in and effortlessly improved on the songs structure and parts. It is one of the fastest songs we've ever written with each other, and it quickly became one of our favorites!"
After playing together for almost a decade now, NY-based, indie pop/rock outfit Here's To You are finally making a return with their sophomore LP, Wonder/Wander. Formed back in 2009 while still in high school, Charlie Giovanniello (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Stephan Stanzione (Drums, Vocals) and Greg Almeida (Guitar, Vocals) self-released their debut album Love Me Or Leave Me, inspired by their high school experiences. After playing hundreds of shows across the eastern seaboard, playing The Bamboozle Festival, South By Southwest Festival, and multiple shows with Atlantic Records artist Cash Cash, the group managed to garner a tight following. In 2016, the missing piece of HTY, Mike Fenimore (Bass, Vocals), was found to finally complete the group's lineup. After spending the past three years writing, recording, rehearsing, and honing in on a fresh, updated sound, the band has used their experiences of growing up and falling in and out of love in the modern-digital age as the main set piece for Wonder/Wander. Every single rhythm, chord, and melody on Wonder/Wander has been carefully crafted, recorded, altered, and subsequently re-recorded, until each member of the band was satisfied with the final product. It's the band's attention to detail and meticulous songwriting on Wonder/Wander that will be sure to excite fans both old and new. After working hard behind the scenes for so long, Here's To You is beyond eager to finally show their fans and the rest of the world what their new album and sound is all about. Their new single "Burning Alive" (and the corresponding music video) is out NOW.

Live Well Premieres Music Video For Single "Neck Tattoos"
NEW YORK, NY | JANUARY 15TH, 2018 - NY-based emo/punk band Live Well have released a music video for their debut single "Neck Tattoos," out NOW. The music video for "Neck Tattoos" is the first of many planned 2019 releases for Live Well, as the band gears up for their impending full length album release. The track tackles the theme of wanting to reach out to a previous significant other, despite knowing they are toxic to your mental health. About the release, the band states:
With a debut full length on the docket for 2019, Live Well wanted to kick the year off right with the release of our first music video for our debut single "Neck Tattoos". The end of a relationship always takes it toll, but it's about moving past the drama and realizing that something may not always be the best for you even though you want it to be.
Live Well is an emotional punk band from the greater New York area. The band was started by Paul Masbad (Lead Vocals, Guitar) and Max Johl (Guitar, Back-Up Vocals) after traveling the country together in late 2017. With the addition of Matt LaPerche (Guitar, Back-Up Vocals), Neil Stafford (Drums), and Luis Castro (Bass, Back-Up Vocals) the band was complete. In late April 2018 Live Well released "First Demos" and have been playing and writing relentlessly ever since. The summer brought the release of their debut single "Neck Tattoos" and with a full length completed, Live Well headed to LumberYard Recording to work with Ace Enders (The Early November) and Nik Bruzzese (Man Overboard) on their debut album. The band is excited to continue to share their nostalgic music and deep rooted lyrics with new fans through live shows, releasing singles and ultimately their debut album 'Perfectly Temporary' in 2019. The music video for "Neck Tattoos" is out NOW.

The ground slopes upwards from the shore, in some places very steeply. There is a ridge running along the length of the island and has three separate peaks. The Boheydulang Peak is the highest (353m). There are a number of rock pools on the east side linked by a stream. The pools are 2-3m across and some are fed by small waterfalls. Other streams form if there is heavy rain.
Mantabuan is located about 2.5km from the north coast of Bodgaya, at the southwestern corner of the Mantabuan reef. It is the smallest island in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park, with an area of 10.08ha. The island is flat with a sandy beach running all the way round. The ground in the corner of the island is hard and compacted.
Sibuan Island
Sibuan is located at the southwest corner of a reef stands alone to the northwest of Bodgaya. It covers an area of 15.13 hectares. The island is a sandy cay that has probably built-up entirely from the eroded remains of the adjacent coral reef. It has an elevation above sea level of about 1-2m. Limestone beach rock has formed in several places, particularly at the northern end of the island. There are separate outcrops at various levels on the beach.
Maiga Island
Located north of Pulau Selakan, it covers an area of 20.16 hectares. Maiga is low, sandy island, rather than a raised limestone platform. However, it appears to be linked to the Sebangkat-Selakan formation, and presumably there may be volcanic rock many metres beow the surface, with a crap of pld reef limestone on top. There is a sandy beach running right round the island and deeper water fairly close to the shore. Erosion is occurring along the eastern side, especially in the south where the sand and soil at the back of the beach is cut away to a height of about 0.5m. There is sand and spit at the southern end of the island, and it is possible that the island is slowing growing in this direction.
Selakan Island
The island is located on the southeast corner of the Sebangkat-Selakan reef complex. It covers an area of 32 hectares. The island consist of coral limestone, raised a few metres above sea level. The limestone bed has been eroded and undercut to form a rocky shoreline around much of the island. There are small stretches of sandy beach around the village, and also at north end of the island. Patches of mangrove occur along the northwest coast.
Pulau Sebangkat
Sebangkat is located on the southwest corner of the Sebangkat-?Selakan reef complex. It covers an area of 51 hectares. There are two tiny islets of reef limestone to the north of Sebangkat, in the middle of the reef top plateau. The island consists of coral limestone, raised a few metres above sea level. The limestone bed has been eroded and undercut to form a rocky shoreline around much of the island. There is a good sandy beach at the southwest corner of the island and stretches for some distance along the south coast.
Pulau Tetagan
This island is separated from Bodgaya by a shallow channel and has an area 30.24 ha. It is considerably lower that other two islands, with maximum elevation of about 80m. The slopes rise fairly steeply and in places rock are exposed. The shoreline is rocky in many places, with naarow beach along the northwest side. This extends into a sand spit at the northern tip of the island.
Pulau Bodgaya
At 8km long and 1.5km wide, Pulau Bodgaya covering an area of 796.4 ha is the largest of the eight islands. This is a high island formed from volcanic rocks. The ground slopes steeply upwards from the shore, leaving a narrow, wave-cut shingle terrace. The main rock outcrops have steep slopes which begin at elevations of between 1100m above sea level and have average inclination of 45-60°. Mt. Bodgaya (one of two peaks) reaches a height of 455m at the western 'arm' of the island, while another peaks at the eastern 'arm' reaches a height of 366m. The two 'arm' are separated by a valley, which cuts through from the north to the south side of the island.
The sheltered slopes and valleys have the richest vegetation and tallest trees. Mangrove is well established along much of the coastal fringe. At the north side, a number of freshwater stream flows on the island.

My Summer Cottage in Babylon: Is it wrong to Febreze a human?
So, Ben's friend is over playing.
Last night he showed up at 6:00. He's never been here before and I've never met him nor his parents. He says, "Is this where Ben lives?" I say yes. "Can I sleep over?" Ummm, no.
But I did tell him he could come over after 11 am today and play until we leave at 5. At 11 am on the dot he was here. His grandma dropped him off. She was just going to drive away, but I chased her down so she stopped. Silly me, wanting to know things like what time do you want him home? Where do you live? Can I feed him lunch? Any food allergies? Anything else I need to know--like a history of starting fires or anything? You know, the little things.
And the boy reeks. It's a combination of cigarette smoke and 10 year old boy B.O.
I know it's not his fault, but I really, really want to Febreze him.
Maybe I could put it in a Super-Soaker and send them out to squirt each other?
Wow. If he needed to be dropped off, where does he live that he magically showed up the day before? I would never just drop off my kid at a place I didn't know well, let alone take someone else's in. I'm not sure if it's ok to Febreez a kid. Definitely keep him outdoors and is it wrong to put soapy water in the water balloons/super soakers?
There used to be a family in our ward like that. The kids (ages 9, 7, and 4) would run wild through the neighborhood, showing up at your house out of nowhere. They could be playing at a psycho killer's house and their mom would have no clue.
At least give them plain old water in the super soakers. It's gotta help a little.
Oh my gosh I was laughing so hard at what you said.
"like a history of starting fires or anything? You know, the little things."
Brandi you are so nice to open up your house to this little boy. I bet he loves coming to your house and the safty he feel there.
My kids chase me around the house when I'm spraying Frebreze--I have to do it quietly now. Is that weird? At least they smell delicious!
did grandma come back and get him?
His mother (who seemed surprisingly normal) came to pick him up.
They're going to Six Flags tomorrow, but he asked if he could come back Friday. I gave them my number and told him to call, but probably yes.
OK, I'm totally feeling sorry for that poor smelly kid. I'm glad you're letting him come over. And don't worry, it's almost summertime, so plenty of opportunities to douse the kid with water and de-stinkify him.
too bad you dont have that pool set up anymore, you could add extra chlorine.
Yes, Sylwia, I know you would suggest that. The rest of us have tact.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is the latest update in the venerable 5D series. A new 30.4MP full-frame sensor and Digic 6+ processor are combined with advanced autofocus features from the 1D X Mark II. Its video capabilities have been expanded to include 4K recording at 24 and 30p. The Mark IV provides up to 7fps continuous shooting.
The 5D Mark IV features one CompactFlash and one Secure Digital card slot. The CompactFlash slot supports UDMA7 cards while the Secure Digital slot accepts SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and supports UHS-I. The 5D Mk IV does not support UHS-II cards because it lacks the pins to connect to the high speed interface, however UHS-II cards are backwards compatible and will operate at UHS-I speed in the camera.
A total of 139 memory cards were tested in the camera: 114 SD cards and 25 CF cards. The SD cards include both UHS-I and UHS-II cards, while nearly all CF cards support UDMA7. The results in the tables below show write speed for continuous shooting of RAW images and the number of shots that can be taken in 30 seconds of continuous shooting for RAW+JPEG, RAW and JPEG image modes. Following the results, an analysis provides additional information gathered from the tests. From these tests the fastest SD and CF cards for the 5D Mark IV are provided.
The test uses a manual lens and manual camera settings. The 5D IV is mounted on a tripod and activated using a remote timer. The subject is a detailed test scene illuminated by controlled lighting.
Write speed is calculated using the buffer full condition during extended continuous shooting; the total amount of data written to the card divided by the write time. This calculation provides a more accurate result than the card access light because the the light turns on when the shutter is first activated rather than when the image has been processed and begins writing to the card. Write speed is in megabytes per second MB/s (1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes). Write speed is provided for RAW image mode. Shooting RAW+JPEG and JPEG only result in lower write speed.
The following table shows the number of shots taken in 30 seconds of continuous shooting using the 5D Mark IV. The time does not include the buffer clearing or write time. The test is repeated for three image modes: RAW+JPEG, RAW, and JPEG. The JPEG setting is large, high quality. The camera is set to continuous high drive mode. Average RAW file size is 38.5 MB. Average JPEG file size is 14.0 MB. The detailed test scene used in these tests results in large file sizes. The number of images may be lower than what may be experienced during actual use, depending on the image subject. Images with less detail create smaller file sizes allowing more images to be written in the same time period.
The Canon 5D Mark IV provides UHS-I support including SDR104 mode for high write speed. The camera does not support UHS-II because it lacks the pins to interface the UHS-II bus; however, UHS-II cards can be used in the camera because the cards have the standard SD contacts and revert to UHS-I mode. UHS-II cards offer no speed benefit in the camera compared with fast UHS-I cards, but do provide the ability to download images faster when used in a UHS-II card reader.
As can be seen in the first table, the fastest memory cards in the 5D Mark IV are all CompactFlash cards. In RAW mode the fastest CF cards averaged up to 112 MB/s, while SD cards provided up to about 79MB/s average speed during continuous shooting. These are slightly faster the average speeds measured in the 5Ds, which were 102 MB/s with CF cards and 72MB/s with SD cards.
The buffer capacity of the 5D Mk IV in RAW mode varied from 16 to 21 shots, depending on the memory card. This is the number of shots that can be taken at full frame rate before the frame rate drops. This number changes with different camera settings, image subjects and card write speed. Because the camera writes to the card while it is still shooting, a faster card will clear space and allow more shots at full frame rate. This number is slightly higher than the 15-18 shots of the 5Ds, but the file size in the 5D IV is significantly smaller.
When comparing memory cards it is important to realize that a slow memory card limits the camera after the camera has reached its buffer capacity. At that point the camera only takes additional pictures at the same rate it can write to the card. When using slow SD cards the frame rate dropped to below 0.3 fps when shooting RAW images. The fastest SD cards could sustain about 2 fps, while the fastest CF cards could shoot 3 fps with the buffer at capacity. When shooting JPEG the slowest SD card provided about 36 shots before the frame rate dropped to about 0.6 fps, while fast SD cards could shoot over 100 shots before the frame rate slowed and continued at over 5 fps. With fast CF cards JPG shooting was not limited by the memory card and the high frame rate could be sustained for the 30 second duration of the test.
Since the Canon 5D Mark IV has two card slots, various combinations of using two cards in the camera were tested. In these tests the Lexar Professional 1066x 32GB and SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s U3 32GB cards were used. First, writing to both cards in backup mode the camera was able to capture images up to the speed of the slower of the two cards, in this case it was limited by the SD card. In 30 seconds of shooting the camera captured 47 shots RAW+JPEG, 72 shots RAW and 184 shots JPEG, nearly the same as shooting to the SD card only.
The second test was recording separately, RAW to the CF card and JPEG to the SD card. In this test up to 71 shots were captured in 30 seconds of continuous shooting. This is below the 99 RAW that can be taken when shooting RAW only to the CF card, but above the 67 shots when writing both RAW and JPEG to the CF card.
The fastest memory card in the Canon 5D Mark IV is the Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB CF Card. This card averaged slightly faster write speed but offered similar performance to the 64GB and 32GB capacity versions of the same card. The SanDisk Extreme Pro, Transcend 1000x and Komputerbay 1066x 128GB cards performed nearly as well, all within one shot difference in 30 seconds of continuous shooting. One would be hard pressed to tell the difference in actual use between any of these cards in the 5D Mark IV.
The fastest cards in the 5D IV are CF cards. SD cards, especially those that support high write speeds (usually noted as 90MB/s), offer good performance in the camera and are priced lower than similar capacity CF cards. During extended continuous shooting the difference becomes apparent and faster CF cards offer a noticeable improvement over SD cards by clearing the buffer faster and maintaining a higher frame rate after the buffer reaches capacity.
The Canon 5D IV has an integrated USB 3.0 port that allows images to be transferred directly to a computer. To test this transfer method Secure Digital and CompactFlash cards with 7GB of RAW images were used. The camera was connected using a USB 3.0 cable and images were transferred to a fast SSD drive in a computer. The Lexar 1066x 32GB CompactFlash card completed the transfer in 108.5 seconds and averaged 61.2 MB/s. The SanDisk Extreme 95MB/s UHS-I U3 32GB SD card took 185.5 seconds at an average transfer rate of 35.8 MB/s. The CompactFlash transfer rate was just slightly above the 53.4 MB/s speed measured in the 5Ds, however the SD card transfer rate was well below the 65.4 MB/s of the 5Ds.
The preferred method to transfer images when speed is important is to use an external memory card reader. Transfers of RAW images from SD cards using a USB 3.0 card reader typically average 90 MB/s with UHS-I cards and 250 MB/s for UHS-II cards. CompactFlash cards can reach 140MB/s copying actual RAW files using a USB 3.0 card reader. Several card reader tests with various memory cards can be found in the Card Reader Reviews.


Remember that your wedding day is designed to be a once in a lifetime event, so it should be a harmonious and joyous event. A wedding is something that needs lots of careful planning. Use the following advice to put together a great wedding.
You can make great use of big box stores, like Costco, when planning your own food service for your wedding day. This will allow you to save loads of money. Consider asking your friends to help with the costs of food.
Wedding gowns can be pricey. When you shop for a dress, try dresses that aren't categorized as wedding dresses. Consider a bridesmaid dress, which costs less than a wedding dress but can still fit your needs. Even if you factor in the cost of style alterations, the overall cost could be less.
Purchasing wedding gowns through the Internet can help save you a lot of money, but see to it that you do it early in order to have enough time to alter it if needed. I bought my gorgeous gown online for only $150, but it cost me another $200 to have it altered to fit me perfectly. Be sure to include the potential alterations cost into your budget.
Have your wedding at a location owned by friends or family. If someone you know has a large yard or farm, you can get rid of a big wedding expense. Your only expense should be paying someone to clean before and after the wedding.
Transportation is an important thing to think about. Try to have limos and taxis available for those who do not have a ride to take them back to their hotel at the end of the night. This is great for those that have had alcohol at the wedding.
Don't go overboard on decorating tables with flowers. Much of the time, table arrangements will just be in the guests' way. Make sure to keep in mind that some guests may have flower allergies. In order to provide a romantic look, you can place unscented candles centered on the table.
TIP! Once you know who all is going to give a speech at your wedding, hold a rehearsal for everyone so you can censor out inappropriate material. Generally, many generations attend a wedding, so a joke that's funny to young people may not be to the elders.
Evenly disperse all of your invited guests among the available tables at your wedding reception. This means making sure there are no odd numbers at any table. Group people at tables by age so that common ground for conversations exists.
TIP! Try tying small decorative items into each element in the wedding decor. For example, the bow in your hair can be the same as those used in the floral arrangements on the tables.
If you wish to have a wedding cake that stands out and is a focal point in your reception, you may want to consider a matching piece of fabric. You can choose from a wide selection of fabrics, including silk, velvet and satin, and you can then opt for either patterned fabrics or solid-colored fabrics.
If it possible for you to afford it, consider having your wedding on a cruise and invite only your closest family and friends. By doing this, you can step away from the altar and immediately start your honeymoon. You may even get a great wedding deal.
TIP! Ask local boutiques about having small, individual portions of cake for the guests as your wedding. Many bakeries can provide wedding cupcakes that come in at 100 calories or less per serving.
If you aren't planning a reception meal, choose comfortable furniture for seating instead of tables and chairs. Soft sectional furniture, lounges and chaises can make it easier for guests to interact with each other. Comfortable and inviting chairs allow your guests to feel welcome and relaxed, which creates a nice atmosphere at your wedding.
TIP! Practice walking down the aisle in front of a full-length mirror to make sure you know what you're doing, especially if you're going to be wearing heels. If you are afraid of falling, consider wearing flats.
Be sure to hire a professional wedding photographer who has the ability to create beautiful memories rather than simply snapping photos. When you interview them, ask them what their vision is. Ask them how they see the day playing out in their mind. It is imperative you are comfortable with their style as it will have an impact on your entire day.
Give your wedding guests something to do on your wedding day. Engage your guests so that they are not forced to kill time between events. The possibilities for participation are endless, but it should flow with how the rest of your wedding is organized and styled. By including group activities into your wedding day, your guests will have fun and fondly remember your wedding.
TIP! The lighting at the wedding reception venue should be able to be dimmed. Certain occasions throughout the evening will call for their own separate mood and lighting, such as a first dance or cutting of the cake.
Create personalized wedding vows. It is pretty easy to copy directly from a source, but you are the one who knows your betrothed the best. Writing your vows will make your future spouse feel more special and will make your wedding more meaningful and romantic. Use other sources as inspiration, but add your own personal touch.
It really is possible to plan a wedding with a shoestring budget. You do not and should not go into debt with a wedding. Doing a lot of things yourself can save a lot of money for you.
TIP! For instance, think about filling a menu with popular choices in a contemporary fusion style. Another alternative is to offer ethnic dessert or drink options to the menu.
Committing to a person for life is a serious decision, so your wedding should reflect this major decision with perfect detail. Use advice from the above article to make sure you maximize the potential of your wedding.

Q: Build warnings vs IntelliSense warnings I just joined a company with legacy code.
The build has over 10000 warnings.
90% of the warnings are "obsolete" warnings.
My coworkers don't want me to disable those warnings, because it is useful for them in IntelliSense.
My question is: is there a practical way, where I can still see the warning in the editor in Visual Studio, but it does not show up in the build.log?

A:
Is there a practical way, where i can still see the warning in the editor in visual studio, but it does not show up in the build.log?

Since you can not disable those warnings and using #pragma warning disable is not your option, I would like provide your a workaround to resolve this question.
You can managed to supress the warning level with /p:WarningLevel=X with MSBuild command line.
For example, when I build the sample project from Visual Studio, there is a warining in the error list window:

Then I build it with MSBuild command line with property /p:WarningLevel=0 in the command line:
msbuild "YourProjectName" /fl /flp:logfile=D:\MyProjectOutput.log;verbosity=diagnostic /p:WarningLevel=0

The meaning of the level:
Warning
Level    Meaning
-------- -------------------------------------------
      0  Turns off emission of all warning messages.

      1  Displays severe warning messages

      2  Displays level 1 warnings plus certain, less-severe warnings, such
         as warnings about hiding class members

      3  Displays level 2 warnings plus certain, less-severe warnings, such
         as warnings about expressions that always evaluate to true or false

      4  (the default) Displays all level 3 warnings plus informational warnings

There is no warining in the build log, then open the log file, there is also no warning here:

Hope this helps.

A: I think you will need to switch between the build configurations "Debug" and "Release". So you will be able to have a "clean" build.log when compiling the "Release" but still have the warnings when working with a "Debug" build:

And when working yourself you just need to uncheck the warnings in the error list panel:

A: Some basic SWDev logic here:
If a warning is useful, then it should be fixed as a bug (perhaps a minor one) would be.
If a warning isn't useful, then it should be suppressed to keep the build clean, so that useful warnings show up.
Ultimately, with project schedules and management pressure, there may be no way to get technical debt like that reduced to the point where it is manageable. But disabling a correct and useful warning is a very bad idea (especially suppressing an obsolete warning - the next upgrade of the associated component will cause the product to stop working, with an unexpected amount of work to fix it).
What we typically used to do with these sorts of things, where I worked, was get them prioritised as a task on the development schedule - we'd have a meeting, decide on which issues were significant (which warnings to go after, which to suppress etc...), and batch them into a number of tasks, with an appropriate prioritisation.

When the British Govt. became aware of the activities related to freedom struggle inside the campus, it banned the school. However when Shri Balasaheb Kher came into power, they revoked the ban, and ordered that whatever the machinery and allied materials seized by govt. should be returned to the school. By this event, the entire social environment changed and the public celebrated the occasion in a great manner. After this, in a short period of time, a Chyatralaya (Hostel) was established, aiming to extend facilities to student who were pursuing education. Late Ratnam Pillai was the rector of this hostel. In Ahmednagar district, to educate the depressed and poor people, local boards president of that time, renowned Advocate Comrade Abasaheb Kakade Alias Jagannath Kanhoji Kakade played major role. He and his colleagues collected grains from small villages of Shevgaon taluka for Chhatralaya which was a very difficult task. Hostel was being run without Government Aid. With this facility, many students from the poor and depressed class were able to take training and learning in the campus.


The therapeutic usage of castor oil packing was first discovered by Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) and is now regarded by naturopaths around the world as a very effective tool for liver detox.
The essential fatty acids, in particular the ricinoleic acid that castor oil contains, encourages movement of chemical energy within the body, resulting in a detoxifying effect.
Castor oil also contains all the colours of the spectrum and colour & light are crucial to energy production and movement within the body.
Castor oil packs shouldn't be used in pregnancy as you do not want to create a cleanse when someone is pregnant. They can be used in a pre-conception programme with the aim of cleansing before conception takes place.
You should also make sure that you are moving your bowels well when doing castor oil packs to ensure that whatever you are shifting is actually exiting the body. For that very reason it is advised to do them together with enemas (read my blog on coffee enemas for liver detox here).
They can also be used on other parts of the body but you must ensure you pack your liver at the same time and, as mentioned above, that you are using enemas to see that waste out of the body.
Take your castor oil packing material (cotton – I use the large one from Nutrigold and cut it in half) and fold in two.
Drizzle the castor oil over the cloth – it needs to be wet (but not dripping) – you can aid this process by rubbing the cloth together on itself to spread the castor oil around more thoroughly.
Place the castor oil pack over the liver (located on the right side, underneath the right side of the rib cage.
Either use a castor oil pack holder to prevent leakage or place a big old sheet or towel over it and pin in place. Wear some old clothes over the top as it is very greasy and will probably stain your clothes / bed sheets and is very difficult to get out of fabric.
Place a hot water bottle or heated wheat bag over the top of that area to warm the oil – this assists its uptake by the liver via the skin.
Because it can create a lot of elimination it is wise to start by packing for just 15 minutes 3 consecutive days in a week.
The next week you can increase this to 30 minutes if you are reacting ok, 45 minutes the week after, and so on in 15 minute intervals until you are up to 1 ½ hours for 3 consecutive days a week.
Because they are very calming they should ideally be used in the evenings, but this is not essential – whatever fits your lifestyle.
Ideally a castor oil pack would be followed by a water enema the next morning if possible to ensure that whatever is being released is being fully exited from the body.
The pack can be stored in a plastic sealed bag or a container in the fridge and reused for 30-40 times (i.e. around 2-3 months) before the cloth needs to be discarded and a new pack made – if you keep it longer the oil may start to go rancid.
If you are interested in reading around the benefits of castor oil packing take a look at William A McGarey's book, "The Oil that Heals".
