Intrinsyc (TSX: ITC and OTC: ISYRF) Reports Quarterly Revenue of US$6.4 million for Growth of 40% over Prior Year
August 9, 2018 by Staff
EBITDA1 of US$450,091 (CDN$581,112) in FY18 Q2 Representing a 377% Increase from Prior Year
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation (TSX: ITC and OTC: ISYRF) ("Intrinsyc" or the "Company"), a leading provider of solutions for the development of intelligent connected devices, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Intrinsyc achieved year over year revenue growth of 40% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, with EBITDA of US$450,091 (CDN$581,112).
The strong revenue growth was a result of increased revenue from both embedded computing hardware and product development services. Revenue was US$6.4 million (CDN$8.3 million) which was an increase from US$4.6 million (CDN$6.2 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
"Our Q2 financial results show exceptionally strong growth year-on-year," stated Tracy Rees, Chief Executive Officer, Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation. "We also had record booked sales during the quarter in excess of US$8.0 million; increasing the Company's backlog and setting a solid base for future revenue performance. Backlog was further strengthened with the material order of $5,431,000 announced subsequent to the quarter end, on July 31." Rees added, "Continuing the buildout of our embedded computing platforms, we recently announced the Open-Q™ 2500 Development Kit and production-ready System on Module ("SOM") targeted at wearable and tracking applications. These products were also mentioned in a news release from our strategic technology partner and at their partner event at Mobile World Congress Asia. In a significant expansion of our relationship with our partner, we signed a patent license that will enable Intrinsyc to build computing modules that contain an integrated LTE cellular modem. The first product powered by a combined processor and modem chip will be a version of the Open-Q™ 2500 SOM. We believe having the capability to build cellular based embedded computing modules for IoT markets provides the Company with compelling differentiation and will expand our market opportunities."

Made a strategic equity investment in Stream TV Networks through the conversion of the subordinated, secured promissory note and interest accrued for a total amount of US$1,661,384 into 415,346 common shares. The agreements between the parties also include Stream TV providing a commitment of US$1,500,000 in services to be purchased directly or through connected party referrals during the eighteen (18) month period beginning May 1, 2018.
Announced the introduction of the Company's Open‐Q™ 2500 SOM and its companion Open‐Q™ 2500 Development Kit. This product was also featured in a press release issued by our key partner and announced at their wearable technology event at Mobile World Congress Asia.

The CV2X Development Platform enables demonstrations of V2V/V2I/V2P (vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to infrastructure, vehicle to pedestrian) functionalities. CV2X or Cellular Vehicle to Everything is the latest, cutting-edge technology aimed at collision avoidance and value-added services. CV2X will enable vehicles to communicate critical messages with everything around them, including other vehicles and infrastructure.
Signed a 3G/4G patent license agreement with the Company's key technology partner. Under the terms of the agreement, Intrinsyc was granted a royalty-bearing patent license, to develop, manufacture and sell embedded modules for use in complete terminals; including M2M, Telematics, and IoT Devices. With this agreement, Intrinsyc will be able to expand its product lineup to include modules that incorporate the industry's leading cellular technology.
In June, George Reznik, Chief Financial Officer, presented and met with investors and analysts at the MicroCap Conference in Toronto, ON. The MicroCap Conference is an exclusive event dedicated to connecting small and micro-cap companies with high-level, institutional and retail investors.
Design wins remained constant at 53, as new designs were offset by attrition in other programs, and production clients increased from 24 to 26, during the second quarter.

I have struggled with insomnia for a long long time. I'd read reviews suggesting this would help but I am a bit of a cynic. Plus the price put me off! I then had a sample on a magazine and had a fabulous nights sleep after using it! The heady mix feels both luxurious and relaxing. The bathroom still smells amazing the next day. Not a cheap product but there are 20 baths worth in a bottle. More importantly for me is the fact that this works!!! Even better it doesn't leave you with a hangover. I apply the oil to my body before I get in the bath- the scent then lingers all night. I will buy this again and again despite the price.
Really love this product ! Really luxurious bath oil with great relaxing aromas. Also used the de stress range which is equally as good .
I've been using this amazing bath oil for about 20 years. Aromatherapy Associates is the best brand of bath oils. I adore it!
Best bath product I have ever used. The smell is divine and lingers on up to 2 days after in the bathroom.
I just love this shower oil. A real touch of luxury.
Lovely relaxing experience, fabulous scent. Be careful not to fall asleep in the bath!
Bought this for my mum who sleeps badly. First tried the small versions and she was so enthousiastic that I bought the big bottle for her. It does seem to help her!
Nothing more luxurious than coming home to a relaxing bath with this oil. It's truly relaxing!

Shostakovich, conductor James Conlon told a curious audience Thursday, provided the link to tie together this program with the San Francisco Symphony in this week's subscription concerts. The great 20th-century Russian composer made a logical lead-in to a popular work by arguably Russia's greatest 19th-century composer, Tchaikovsky. The Czech composer Ervín Schulhoff, among those suppressed by Hitler and whom Conlon has long championed, received personal encouragement on visits to Shostakovich, Conlon told us, creating a connection to the opening work, the Allegro con brio from Schulhoff's Symphony No. 5.
Through no fault of Conlon's, the Schulhoff scherzo, which debuted in 1938, overshadowed the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor. The conductor did his best to inject the necessary crispness and tart wit into the concerto, even if the usually admirable solo pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet never quite got into the swing of things. Tchaikovsky's emotionally wrought "Pathétique" Symphony topped them both, Conlon marshaling the individual elements of the orchestra into a sighing, heaving, magnificently expressive whole.
That budding friendship with Shostakovich might have inspired the sarcasm and nasty wit of Schulhoff's scherzo, which launched itself with hammering, almost jazzy, figures in the brass and percussion, then receded only slightly in a restless trio, only to return with even more force in a thrusting finish. This came off as a no-holds-barred performance. One could only wish the whole symphony had been programmed, replacing the Shostakovich.
The piano concerto premiered in 1933, well before the composer fell afoul of Stalin after the 1936 debut of his opera, Lady Macbeth of the Mtsenk District. The concerto's sunny, devil-may-care sass and harmonic playfulness brought plenty of smiles. Conlon drew bright, snappy playing from the orchestra, and the secondary soloist Mark Inouye, the orchestra's principal trumpet, caught all of the rhythmic verve and poke-in-the-ribs melodic fun. Thibaudet, however, his eyes glued to the score, seemed to be running through the music with less intensity than the others. There was a soft edge to his playing. It came off as a bit sleepy. He always seemed to be a micro-beat behind.
The Tchaikovsky symphony begins quietly, with a few nudges of chords out of which a solo bassoon emerges with strands of a dour melody. It ends, 45 minutes later, with sighs of resignation that eventually dissipate to silence. Conlon caught all that, and invested the music in between with vividness in a performance that always seemed to be "in the moment," neither looking back nor ahead but creating that necessary sense of freshness, of improvisation, that it's all being created on the spot.
That's hard enough to accomplish in any music, but with something as familiar and on ground as well-trodden as the Pathétique it's something of a miracle. The opening pages seemed to be groping toward something, circling back on the original bassoon melody until it reached a climax that still had a sense of tentativeness. The gorgeously tender melody in the strings, so well known, had just enough hesitation to feel fresh.
As that effort eventually dwindled, Conlon got the orchestra to muscle up into an intense and concentrated development. When the balm of the famous string melody returned, the tension gradually eased into a fadeout that found low brass playing with consummate delicacy.
The second movement, a waltz in 5/4, breezed by with amazing delicacy. Usually the rhythm is emphasized, but Conlon made it seem relaxed and stately. The scherzo that follows recaptured the energy of the first movement's development section, Conlon constantly pushing the beat just enough to make the recurring march hurtle into a tremendous climax. This always draws applause—so much that even Conlon holding his baton aloft couldn't stop. But in this beautifully responsive performance, the finale, with its massive cries in the strings, its growling muted horns and soft percussion interruptions, created a sense of inevitability to the ultimate dying away.

Cell phones have not only changed communication, but also the way people engage in relationships of any kind.
Over the last 50 years, communication has undergone several significant transformations. In the year 1983, the world was introduced to the first incarnation of the cellular phone. However, it wasn't until the advent of touch screens and texting that mobile communication truly began to shift.
"I am similar to many people from your generation [millennials]," Dr. Anthony Esposito of the communication studies department said.
Dr. Tim Thompson of the communication studies department uses his cell phone for similar reasons. Like Esposito, he makes calls and sends texts throughout the day, but he also takes photos and videos and checks the miles and steps he walks every day.
Communication has never been a stagnant phenomenon. Every hundred years or so, communication ends up being broken down and then restructured to fit the new generation. The introduction of new technology certainly helps move communication forward. There was the invention of the phone in the 1800s, and the invention of the printing press before that. Now, the cell phone has again revolutionized communication.
When he first came to Edinboro University in 1990, digital communication was essentially nonexistent.
"E-mail was really new; we didn't even have it at the university," he said.
When they did begin using email, it was very minimally.The emails consisted of only white letters on a blue screen, according to Thompson.
Thompson says he doesn't rely on his cell phone excessively for communication. He doesn't feel attached to it.
"Although I do find that I'll text someone now before calling or sometimes instead of calling," he said.
Texting is not the only thing people use their cell phones for anymore. People have a myriad of applications they can use to interact socially, from Facebook to Whisper, that make staying connected much easier than it was before.
"It's changed the whole nature of being in the present moment with people," Thompson said.
Esposito believes it has had a negative impact on face-to-face communication.
He continued explaining that in regards to other communication, the cell phone has had positive effect in some arenas.
While it's certainly changed the way we communicate, an additional, important question is raised in these discussions: does the use or overuse of cell phones affect the way people think?
According to Aaron Smith of the Pew Research Center, 15 percent of Americans ages 18-29 are heavily dependent on smartphones for online access in 2015.
Yet a similar study was performed by Dr. Ira Hyman, an author for Psychology Today, and it found that "young people" simply use their cell phones differently than adults do.
Hyman goes on to say that use of cell phones may not necessarily be considered an addiction. It is however referred to as a form of social interaction.
Thompson explained that cell phones bring up potential ethical problems, where people have to decide what is and isn't appropriate to record when they have the ability to record nearly everything with their cell phones constantly in hand.
Thompson's major concern with the cell phone was the effect on people's critical thinking ability.
Now, Esposito and his wife are both over 50 years old and "seem to have addictions" to their electronic devices.
"I believe addiction is endemic to all, and age doesn't impact our use of our devices…age is not a factor [in cell phone use]," he said.
The effect on communication, however, is undeniable. Both Thompson and Esposito agreed.
"It has presented a new opportunity for social interaction," Thompson said.
Around the time cell phones became prominent in American society, there were also a myriad of studies performed about the dangers of cellular waves in the air.
Cell phones not only raise medical concerns, but also several social concerns as well. Younger people have grown up with cell phones and have watched them evolve from their original form.
Instant gratification is defined as the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delay or deferment. And according to Neil Patel, an entrepreneur and online marketing expert, instant gratification is fueled by modern devices and information exchange.
Self-esteem is an important social construct nowadays. Another equally important social construct that is closely tied to self-esteem is engaging in relationships with other people.
Whether we think about it or not, cell phones have had an undeniable impact on communication. It has altered the way we interact with other human beings. It has also affected vocabulary and it has also changed how people engage in relationships.

The Bayer Cross in Leverkusen (in German, the sign is known as Bayer-Kreuz) is the largest illuminated advertisement sign in the world. Weighing about 300 tons (600,000 pounds), nothing else comes close to matching the size of this sign, which is for Bayer, the multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in the region.
Installed in 1958, the advertisement is much different than traditional illuminated signs in that it is not part of a fixed structure. This sign consists of multiple lamps that are set on ropes spun between two masts. This design is resistant to strong winds and gives the illusion of a flying logo at night, when the masts are masked by the darkness. It takes 1,712 40-Watt bulbs to light the display.
While this sign is more than 50 years old now, it isn't the first Bayer Cross. Using a similar design, the first flying logo was built in 1933 between two tall chimneys at the G Power Station. That advertisement was dismantled just over a decade later in 1944.

How To Begin An Autobiography
Autobiographers are absolve to shape their life story in whatever manner they choose. They have been at liberty to pick what they desire to add or omit. They are able to simplify or amplify a conference. Or they are able to leave out the skeletons into the cabinet if they desire (Bates 3; Porter and Wolf 5). As Bates sets it, "he [the autobiographer] will often be enlarging on special areas of his life, such as the influences that moulded him…or the services which he rendered from what he most cared about;…a vindication because of this world;…he may…turn his book into…a laundry for the dirty linen of his dirty soul" (Bates 3). Just how he or she organizes and arranges the events of this story shows just what the author considers important.",The author depicts truths about himself through his experiences as well as the method he/she describes them. the journalist illustrates past activities claims much about "who he thinks he is" (Porter and Wolf 5). ,"Because autobiography is, as Anderson sets it, a public visibility of this private self," self-accounting and self-reflection are fundamental elements of the autobiography (Anderson 7). Mcdougal wants to justify his / her past actions to the reader. Quigley claims that a "related but not identical narrator and protagonist" are essential towards the process of self-justification (Quigley 107). Mcdougal establishes relationships to him or herself so that you can show causality. As an example, as the narrator as well as the protagonist are not identical, the narrator has "the ability to treat the self as other…creat[ing] the occasion for self-regard and editing…[because of] the distance between self-now and self-then" (Quigley 107).
There is also a relationship involving the reader as well as the author.how to start an autobiographical essay By judging past actions as right or wrong, the narrator establishes towards the reader which they share common norms. The narrator speaking into the autobiography "is always moral, regardless if the protagonist of this narrative just isn't" (Quigley 107). This relating is then assessed socially according to whether actions are appropriate or inappropriate or surprising or normal (Quigley 64, 106-7, 155).Other interactions that the narrator establishes are relationships with other characters into the story. This permits the speaker presenting the self as either "an experiencer or recipient of actions, where the self is observed as a target static entity" (Quigley 152). The speaker may narrate a conference in that method that the self does not have to accept the obligation for the results. It could be called taking place towards the protagonist because of the actions of others (Quigley 106-7, 52). Autobiography is just a form of introspection. When authors write about their past, it is not free of feelings.
Revealing character's intentions, thoughts, and feelings is another method that the narrator evaluates why activities took place while they did. By explaining just what took place into the past, mcdougal is able to express towards the reader how a self evolved. The self-now could be the person she or he is because of the activities of this past. William Maxwell said: What we relate to confidently as memory-meaning moment, a scene, a well known fact that has been afflicted by a fixative and therefore rescued from oblivion-is really a type of storytelling that continues on continually into the brain and often changes aided by the telling. Too many conflicting emotional interests are involved for life ever to be wholly acceptable and perchance it is the work of this storyteller to rearrange things in order that they adapt to this end. (Quigley 193).Autobiography is just a popular genre. Article writers of memoirs and life stories never lack an audience. Anderson says that "autobiography [is] a form of witnessing which things to others" (Anderson 126).
folks are enthusiastic about the particular everyday lives of others and wish to know about others' pasts and feelings and desires (Anderson 5-7; Quigley 2-15). a quote from Olney in Anderson's book reveals the selling point of autobiography. Olney claims "the explanation for the special selling point of autobiography is a fascination with the self and its profound, its endless mysteries" (Anderson 5). Autobiography is just a way to organize the story of a life and think on the past in order to raised understand the present. "Works Cited,"Anderson, Linda R. Autobiography: New Critical Idiom.

Just What if you didn't find out, in your mid-fifties, that anyone you always believed had been your biological daddy had not been? (That's the subject of author Dani Shapiro's present work Inheritance; amazing that this type of story fell into her lap, if confusing on her behalf as well.)I've had many people tell me, upon learning that I happened to be a journalist, that they're taking care of a book too. "It's about me…and my experiences," they often times say, sounding a bit overconfident. But perhaps they're not. I really believe that the average person has had many essay-worthy experiences; they only have to be framed precisely to be publishable.",The average person has received many essay-worthy experiences.,"( Here is one of many essays I've published in Medium's Human Parts, about eighth-grade bullying in New Jersey.)If you want to write about an incident from your life, sometimes the "plot" isn't since essential as exactly how it's told.
And how well it's told depends more on what you abandon than what you put in.Take a controversial memoir that's now one of my favorite books — Joyce Maynard's autobiography At Home in the World, published in 1998. When it absolutely was first published, the book drew condescending criticism by those that hadn't even read it, because Maynard dared to fairly share several facts about her relationship with reclusive author J.D. Salinger.As a teen, Maynard was a precocious student and one of this first females to wait Yale University after it became co-ed. During her freshman year, she published an essay into the ny circumstances magazine. This compelled Salinger to start out delivering her letters. He charmed her into dropping out of her sophomore year of Yale to call home with him in New Hampshire.Following nine months of his control and emotional abuse, she left. It took her 25 % of a century to finally tell her story, and it's a compelling read — told maybe not with blame or any exploitative details, but with tact, courage, and caution. She centers around her early life as well as the details of her time aided by the older author that affected her life for decades afterwards, not anything extraneous or salacious about him. There is still much we still don't know when we finish reading, but we feel as though we know enough.She writes dispassionately of Salinger's put-downs, without having to reveal to disapprove. From the words and scenes she chooses, we know how a then-19-year-old Joyce perceived everything, and how she perceives it today.This, I really believe, could be the big training in memoir writing — choosing what things to abandon is as essential as what things to put in. You've lived so many stories. Which incidents and scenes tell your story most readily useful?",Choosing what to abandon is as essential as what things to put in.,"Narratively, a on-line publication that focuses on articles and personal essays, asks article writers who pitch them to share with the editors just what the "takeaway" is.
Simply put, which themes should a reader come away thinking about? Your personal story must be strongly related other folks, even should they didn't experience the exact same thing.Maynard's story compels us to take into account exactly how, even without breaking regulations, a person in a posture of power can manipulate and damage another person forever. It turns out that Salinger groomed and manipulated a few women in his life; At Home in the World went beyond Maynard's experience and told an account that had universal relevance.",But is it possible to locate a personal story to write about even although you haven't been through any such thing undoubtedly shocking? There's one memoir that stands apart in my own mind because virtually nothing happens — but the author is just a gifted enough story-teller that his book is just a riveting read nonetheless.,"The book is Lads, published in 2004 by David Itzkoff, who now writes for this new York circumstances. The book chronicles his entry-level magazine jobs after graduating from Princeton, specially as being a journalist for Maxim in the 1990s. Now, exactly how on earth could that be a book? Why would anyone but another journalist even care?",Itzkoff manages to spin the littlest details into stories. Here's exactly how he describes the fact that his co-worker's straight back went out:,""Jim Kaminsky's thirty-nine-year-old back had been a carefully calibrated little bit of machinery … and like all other works of man, it absolutely was on a set course toward an unrecoverable state of disrepair. He had thrown it out of alignment while using his infant child — one moment he's giving the kid a horsey ride as well as the next he's on his ass — and had missed three days of work."","Jim Kaminsky's thirty-nine-year-old back had been a carefully calibrated little bit of machinery." — Dave Itzkoff," A lot of us, when our co-workers have a medical problem, hide under our desks and hope it doesn't mean extra assignments. Itzkoff describes exactly how this single incident sends ripples through the universe, stuns us with his poetry.Ironcially, I happened to be less engaged in his folowup memoir, about his father's cocaine addiction, which you'd think is more compelling.
It's all the manner in which you tell the story.There is a takeaway in Itzkoff's tale, too; maybe his book is named Lads for the same reason the series Girls was known as by doing this. At just what point does a young person truly develop into a grownup? When does a lad develop into a man? Lads is just a story of a segment of post-college coming-of-age.I've published a number of personal essays with different takeaways, for instance the one linked above on Medium's Human Parts vertical. Most people experienced some experience with bullying. But it's also about how precisely simple bullying can really be, and just what adolescence was really like in the 1980s (in the place of the film version).I've been able to publish more than a dozen personal essays over the years, including into the Atlantic and New York circumstances, despite my reasonably unexciting life. I did so develop with a mentally ill parent and lived in a car or truck for several summers (and I've got a memoir brewing — for which I'll soon be searching for an agent, hint hint), nevertheless the point is, if I am able to find incidents to publish about from the quieter times, so can you.",So what's the takeaway from the particular essay that you're reading — my final piece in a summer series on publishing for the Writing Cooperative?,"It's that you will be a specialist in your own experience, and likely can find a way to publish about any of it so that it helps or at the very least intrigues others. There could be situations you aren't prepared to write about yet (trust your gut until it feels right, especially if you were to think publishing your story can hurt some body). There could be incidents you don't truly comprehend yet. But there's probably at least one experience of yours that's worth publishing.",You are an expert in your own experience.,"In 2017, Jia Tolentino penned a controversial essay in ny Magazine, "The Personal Essay Boom is Over." While exploitative pieces are over ( similar to this infamous one about a woman who found cat hair in her, well…), readers love memoirs. It's quite possible that the story you might think can be your most readily useful one is maybe not one that is going to be most compelling to others.
You merely need certainly to keep writing, and figure out what to put in, but moreover, what things to leave out.Speaking of essays, here is the final installment of my summer series for the Writing Cooperative, "Out of the Reject Pile." I penned it so that you can demystify the publishing process a bit, and hopefully entertain.

GIS Function & Data


On September 19, AMTRAN's Board of Directors made an option offer on the Roaring River Mills property directly across 5th Avenue from their bus garage near Mansion Park. The 3.2 acre property is currently owned by long-time Altoona businessman, Norman Glucroft, but was originally part of the trolley works for the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway.
According to AMTRAN Board Chairman Scott Cessna, "There are two reasons for an organization to make a capital investment - to make money or to save money. This project will do both." The savings will come through AMTRAN's plan to utilize the former Gold's Gym building, originally a trolley barn, to park buses. This will save the maintenance department hours of service time every day and will keep the entire fleet under roof. The revenue will come from the largest part of the property facing Sixth Avenue (state route 764) which will be jointly developed by AMTRAN and a private developer to be selected through a competitive procurement process. Through a land-lease with the developer, AMTRAN will receive revenue which can be used for day-to-day operations.
The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Joint Development Program will enable AMTRAN to utilize federal grants to make the site pad-ready, then partner with a private developer. The capital-only grants are through the efforts of Congressman Bill Shuster, Senator Arlen Specter, and Senator Bob Casey.
The option offer is the first step in a long process. The 120-day option period allows AMTRAN time to line up all of the necessary documentation for the FTA and to study any potential environmental issues. During the option period, if AMTRAN decides to purchase the property, the price will be $1,225,000 minus the actual cost of any environmental remediation. (The value is based on an independent appraisal.) Once AMTRAN has actually purchased the property, they will begin renovations to the trolley barn that will include meeting and training space for AMTRAN personnel in addition to storage for buses. They will also advertise a Request for Proposals to competitively select a private developer to partner with them on the remainder of the property.


More Nexus-branded smartphones are meant to be hitting this year, but we have only seen the ASUS Nexus 7 tablet for now. But, Samsung, Sony and LG are all reportedly working on Nexus-branded smartphones, and now we have a rumor regarding the Galaxy Nexus II.
Pocket Now is reporting that the User Agent Profile of the GT-i9260, which has been mentioned previously with Galaxy Nexus II rumors. If the rumors are correct, it would sport a 1280x720 display and an 'ARM11' CPU. One of the weirder things with this rumor is that the ARM11 processor is old, and is something that was found in one of the earliest Android-based devices released, HTC's Dream.
The Nexus II should arrive with, at a minimum, a fast dual-core, or quad-core processor. Previous Nexus II rumors have pegged the device to include a 1.5GHz dual-core A9 CPU. Of course, it's just a rumor for now, but we should hear more information on it after the iPhone 5 launch has died down slightly.


The Credit Suisse Asian Investment Conference is an annual event bringing together the best business and investment minds globally. At the Conference just concluded we were fortunate to have two current US Federal Reserve (Fed) Presidents presenting to the conference plus former Fed Governor Janet Yellen.
The US yield curve may have inverted (long dated bonds trading at lower yield than short dated), but the message from Chicago Fed President Evans, Boston Fed President Rosengren, and former Fed Governor Yellen is the Fed is not concerned.
Often an inverted curve points to imminent recession as the bond market thinks rate cuts will be needed in the future. However, the US economy is in good shape. Wages are rising mildly, unemployment at 3.8% is below their internal benchmark of 4.4%.
Although GDP growth has slowed to 1.75% from 3%, it is sitting at about the long term trend. Inflation is controlled at 2%, and they see the Fed funds rate as neutral.
The most important comment was they don't see yield inversion as a sign of recession coming. In fact they place a low probability on it. The reason is we have seen a secular decline in bond yields that started before the GFC. The flatter curve is structural.
There is no one reason for this but factors include: psychological effects of the GFC, demand for safe assets from an ageing population, still large bond holdings on central bank balance sheets and the expectation of Quantitative Easing (QE) when and if needed.
QE is effectively money printing as the Fed buys bonds issued by the US Treasury using cash it has created. Global growth has slowed but the Fed is no longer shrinking its balance sheet, another rate rise is doubtful, and the European Central Bank (ECB) have taken a dovish stance.
The key takeaway is we are likely in for some months of weak data but there are reasons for optimism as monetary and fiscal stimulus, both existing and yet to come, works its way through the system.
President of Boston Fed Rosengren argued the Fed balance sheet is not stretched. Regarding official rates, the message was consistent between Yellen, Evans and Rosengren - the Fed rate will likely go to zero in a recession. The reasoning is the Fed typically cuts rates by 5% in a slowdown, given the current level of 2.5%, they will have no choice in order to have impact.
Rosengren was unequivocal, the Fed will also have to use its balance sheet to undertake QE. Optically, the value of treasuries held at 3.9 trn seems high compared to holdings of 800bn at the start of QE 10 years ago. But Rosengren argues once you net off deposits by Treasury with the Fed the true level of holdings is 1.7trn.
Whatever the number it is clear the Fed will be aggressive with QE if required.
Rosengren addressed the inverted yield curve. The inversion does not cause a recession, it is correlated to recession. In the past, the Fed has had to raise rates sharply to reduce inflation. That is not the case today, inflation is only 2%. The Fed does not have to cause a rapid slowdown in the economy to address inflation.
Also, US rates have been pushed down by extremely low yields in Europe and Japan. Investors have moved into US treasuries chasing yield. Falling US bond yields is not just a verdict on the likelihood of US recession.
Thus, investors should take comfort the Fed will be proactive in avoiding recession or even a major slowdown. Perhaps unusually, the Fed's approach will support bonds and equities, in aiming to push down yields to stimulate borrowing and activity. The flip side, barring an unforeseen crisis, is cash is not king.

Balanced and Roasted :	Caraïbe opens with full-bodied chocolaty and toasted nutty notes then finishes with a lightly oaky flavor.
Caraïbe is the most balanced chocolate in the Mariages de Grands Crus range.
A remarkably bitter chocolate introduced two years after Guanaja in 1988, Caraïbe was an exceptionally well-balanced addition to the Mariages de Grands Crus collection of chocolates with truly enticing body and sweetness. Caraïbe and Guanaja are prime examples of how rich and complementary chocolate blends can be, which is why people often talk about Caraïbe as a "feminine" chocolate and say Guanaja has a more "masculine" profile.
"I use Caraïbe chocolate very often when creating desserts. It's something that I know is sure to please everyone, men, women, adults and children alike."

These hackers showed just how easy it is to target critical infrastructure
Two Dutch researchers have won a major hacking championship by hitting the software that runs the world's power grids, gas pipelines, and more. It was their easiest challenge yet.
Patrick Howell O'Neillarchive page
The winning team, Keuper and Alkemade, during the competitionZero Day Initiative
Daan Keuper has hacked under a bright spotlight before.
In 2012, he hacked a brand-new iPhone and took home $30,000 while on center stage at Pwn2Own, the biggest hacking contest in the world. Driven by curiosity, Keuper and his colleague Thijs Alkemade then hacked a car in 2018. Last year, motivated by the pandemic, they hacked videoconferencing software and coronavirus apps.
This week, the two Dutch researchers took home $90,000 and a new Pwn2Own championship trophy by targeting the software that helps run the world's critical infrastructure.
They say it was their easiest challenge yet.
"In industrial control systems, there is still so much low-hanging fruit," Keuper says. "The security is lagging behind badly."
"This is definitely an easier environment to operate in," agrees Alkemade.
At the exact same time that I was watching the pair on stage in Miami targeting a small arsenal of critical industrial software, the United States and its allies issued a warning about the elevated threat of Russian hackers' going after infrastructure such as the electric grid, nuclear reactors, water systems, and more. Last week, one group of Russian hackers was caught trying to bring down the Ukrainian power grid, and another hacking group was caught aiming to disrupt critical industrial systems.
At Pwn2Own, the stakes are a little bit lower, but the systems are the same as what you'll find in the real world. This week in Miami, the targets were all industrial control systems that run critical facilities. Nearly every piece of software offered up as a target fell to the hackers. That is what the sponsors pay for, after all—hackers who succeed will share all the details so the flaw can be fixed. But it's also a sign that critical-infrastructure security has a long way to go.
"A lot of the bugs we're seeing in the industrial control systems world are similar to bugs we saw in the enterprise software world 10 to 15 years ago," says Dustin Childs, who ran the show this year. "There is still a lot of work to be done."
Looking for the big one
One notable target at this year's show was the Iconics Genesis64, a human-machine interface tool that hackers can break into to bring down critical targets while fooling the human operators into thinking nothing is wrong.
We know this is a real threat because a decade ago, a landmark hacking campaign known as Stuxnet targeted the Iranian nuclear program. Hackers believed to be working for the United States and Israel sabotaged the programmable logic controllers inside the gas centrifuges used to separate nuclear materials, but they also told the machines to tell the Iranian operators that everything was going well. That clever extra bit of sabotage multiplied the success of the operation.
In Miami, the Iconics Genesis64 was hacked at least six times to give attackers full control. The teams that took on the challenge won a total of $75,000.
"I'm surprised to see so many unique bugs on the Iconics Genesis64," says Childs. "It just shows there is a real depth of bugs to be mined. There is a lot more out there than what people are reporting right now."
The indisputable highlight of the show belonged to Keuper and Alkemade, who targeted a communications protocol called OPC UA. Think of it as the lingua franca that different parts of a critical-operations system use to talk to each other in industrial settings. Keuper and Alkemade—competing under their company name, Computest—successfully bypassed the trusted-application check.
When it happened, the room instantly erupted into the biggest applause of the entire weeklong competition. I watched the audience buzz as Keuper and Alkemade turned their laptops around for us all to witness their success. In just a few seconds, the team won $40,000 and enough points to secure the competition's championship title, "Master of Pwn."
"We're looking for exactly that kind of big thing," says Childs.
How a Russian cyberwar in Ukraine could ripple out globally
Soldiers and tanks may care about national borders. Cyber doesn't.
"OPC UA is used everywhere in the industrial world as a connector between systems," says Keuper. "It's such a central component of typical industrial networks, and we can bypass authentication normally required to read or change anything. That's why people found it to be the most important and interesting. It took just a couple of days to find."
The 2012 iPhone hack took three weeks of focused work. In contrast, the OPC UA hack was a side project, a distraction from Keuper and Alkemade's day jobs. But its impact is outsized.
There are immense differences between the consequences of hacking an iPhone and breaking into critical-infrastructure software. An iPhone can be easily updated, and a new phone is always right around the corner.
On the contrary, in critical infrastructure, some systems can last for decades. Some known security flaws can't be fixed at all. Operators often can't update their technology for security fixes because taking a system offline is out of the question. It's not easy to turn a factory on and off again like a light switch—or like a laptop.
"In industrial control systems, the playing field is completely different," Keuper says. "You have to think about security differently. You need different solutions. We need game changers."
Despite their success this week, Keuper and Alkemade are not under any delusion that industrial security problems have been instantly solved. But for these two, it's a good start.
"I do research for public benefit to help make the world a little bit safer," Alkemade says, "We do stuff that gets a lot of attention so that people listen to us. It's not about the money. It's the excitement and to demonstrate what we can do."
"Hopefully we made the world a safer place," says Keuper.
Meanwhile, the Pwn2Own competitions rumble on, having given away $2 million last year. Next month, hackers will gather in Vancouver to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the show. One of the targets? A Tesla car.

Pogba's agent has publicly stated that his client wants to leave Manchester United.
The World Cup-winning midfielder has said it would be a dream of his to play for Real Madrid one day.
Meanwhile, a return to former club Juventus has also been mooted.
Juve are 5/2 front runners to land the Frenchman in January, with Real at 4/1, followed by Paris Saint-Germain at 8/1.
Interestingly, Chelsea are next on the list at 16/1, ahead of Inter Milan (20/1), Premier League rivals Manchester City and Barcelona (both 33/1).
Erling Braut Haaland has dropped a huge hint that could he snub Manchester United in favour of Chelsea.
The striker has been linked to both of the Premier League clubs following his impressive spell for Borussia Dortmund.
During a Q&A, Haaland was asked which player he'd want to have to played with that is now retired.
And he simply replied: "Frank Lampard."

Rudiger to decide future after Monday
Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger will decide his future after Monday's match against Arsenal, according to Bild.
Rudiger has featured sparingly this season but could see the field with Chelsea facing two games in 48 hours: against Aston Villa on Boxing Day and the Gunners two days later.
Marcos Alonso
Chelsea outcast Marcos Alonso is a target for Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, according to reports.
The left-back has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following the Blues' £50million signing of England international Ben Chilwell.
Alonso has made a paltry three appearances in all competitions this campaign, all of which have come in the Premier League.
The Spaniard – who joined the west Londoners from Fiorentina in the summer of 2016 – has been absent from Chelsea's last 11 league matchday squads.

Wayne Fraser is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Pictou East in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1993 to 1998. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.

Fraser first attempted to enter politics in the 1988 provincial election, losing the Pictou East race to Progressive Conservative Donald Cameron. He tried a second time to unseat Cameron in the 1993 election, but was defeated by over 700 votes. At the time of the 1993 election, Cameron had been serving as the province's premier and, following his party's defeat, also resigned as MLA. A by-election was held on August 3, 1993, and Fraser was elected in his third attempt to win the seat. In the 1998 election, Fraser was defeated in his re-election bid by Progressive Conservative candidate Jim DeWolfe.

Teacher who plotted with Filipino mother to s-xually abuse her daughters is jailed
May 04, 2019 news
A British music teacher who plotted to s-xually abuse girls as young as four in the Philippines has been jailed.
James Alexander, 42, was caught by the National Crime Agency after he sent money to known facilitators who had live-streamed child s-xual abuse from Iligan City, in Northern Mindanao.
He was arrested on June 30, 2018, at Manchester Airport as he flew into the UK from Thailand where he had lived since 2017.
Forensic analysis of his electronic devices showed Alexander, of Beeston, Leeds, sent at least 15 money transfers to abuse facilitators between August 2017 and June 2018.
It also showed that Alexander tried to arrange with abuse facilitators over Skype and WhatsApp to travel to the Philippines to abuse little girls himself.
Alexander admitted one count of arranging/facilitating the commission of a child sex offence; three counts of attempting to cause/incite a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and one count of making an indecent image of a child.
He was prosecuted under section 72 of the Sex Offences Act 2003, which allows British nationals to be prosecuted in the UK for offences committed abroad.

Make no mistake about it: The Pacers were nothing more than a solid group of antagonists, instigators and irritants that pushed, poked and provoked Miami these past few seasons. But they were never really the Heat's equal.
At least not when it mattered most.
The East might as well start taking applications now for a new so-called "rival" for the Heat. Because these Pacers were officially relieved of their duties after being dismantled and shoved aside in a 117-92 season-ending loss in Game 6 of the conference finals.
It's clearly time to move on.
The Heat are headed to the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive season as they pursue a third straight championship. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have known no other outcome since they became teammates before the 2010-11 season.
And for the third postseason in a row, including two straight in the conference finals, the Heat propelled themselves into the championship round after breaking down and eventually stepping over Indiana. The Pacers are all too familiar with the bitter flavor they've had to taste after being served and dismissed by the Heat.
Considering some of their actions, antics and comments over the course of the series, I completely expected the Pacers to be defiant in defeat when their locker room was opened to the media after the game. But a team that's been full of surprises and bucked expectations — both high and low — throughout a turbulent season was true to its unpredictable form late Friday.
It's difficult to describe just how deflated the scene was inside the visitors' locker room. As reality sank in that the season ended well short of expectations for the 56-win team that held the No. 1 seed in the East, the Pacers were things they hadn't been all series.
Sadly accepting that their best, despite three seasons of motivation, isn't good enough. Not against James and the Heat. Not back then, not now, probably not ever.
Report: Six serious bidders for Clips | Report: Lakers to interview Hollins | Stephenson jabs at LeBron (again) | Would Spurs have shot at Love?
Shelly Sterling has received inquiries from at least six serious bidders for the Los Angeles Clippers, sources told ESPN on Sunday. Shelly Sterling reached an agreement with her estranged husband, Donald Sterling, to negotiate a sale of the franchise after he was banned for life and fined $2.5 million by NBA commissioner Adam Silver on April 29.
Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, is handling the sale with Bob Baradaran, a managing partner at his law firm Greenberg Glusker, and Darren Schield and Doug Watson of Beverly Hills Properties, a real estate company owned by the Sterling family.
Shelly Sterling was scheduled to meet with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on Sunday to discuss a possible sale of the team, according to a report on TMZ and later confirmed by ESPN.
While Ballmer was a part of the effort to bring the NBA back to Seattle last year, he said in a Wall Street Journal article last week that he is open to owning a team elsewhere.
For her part, Shelly Sterling would not consider selling the team to any group that intended to relocate the franchise, a source told ESPN.
According to IRS rules, the Sterlings would have to pay a federal long-term capital-gains tax of 20 percent and a California tax of 13.3 percent. The tax would be on the difference between what the team was bought for and what it is ultimately sold for. If the team is sold for $1 billion, the Sterlings would be taxed $328.5 million on the sale. Sterling bought the team from Irv Levin in 1981 for $13.5 million.

Jo has been an inspiration to the fundraising team of the West India Committee. During this difficult economic time she has guided the charity in the assessment of its funding needs and the development of a sound fundraising agenda. Not least of all she has become a firm friend of the charity in whom we can trust.
As a trustee of Laurel Farm Kindergarten Jo was a great asset to the charity and injected a wonderful sense of fun and humour to our meetings. She was one of a handful of individuals who was instrumental in getting our school opened. Jo was responsible for marketing, publicity and admissions to the Kindergarten. Jo also organised our summer fair (a huge piece of work), I could not recommend Jo more for her efficiency and attention to detail in event planning. Throughout Jo's time as a trustee she offered fresh and insightful views to discussions.
Jo and I worked together at the National Osteoporosis Society for a number of years, and during that time Jo was instrumental in helping to develop the Fundraising Team and generating new income streams for the Charity. Jo had a natural synergy with the Charity's supporters and understood how to motivate donors. Jo is incredibly hardworking and tenacious. The NOS benefitted greatly from her fundraising insight, spirit and drive to achieve.
I had the pleasure of working for Jo Byron at the National Osteoporosis Society. She has a very open and honest, consultative, style of management, with a wealth of knowledge she draws upon, to make informed suggestions thatI've found very helpful. Her skills have been instrumental in securing rapid growth in trusts and foundations income at the charity in the last few years. She is very warm and easy to get on with, both professionally and personally, and a confident communicator. Consequently, she is very effective at building and maintaining professional relationships and networks and I have learnt a lot from her in the time we worked together.

Broken-down world indoor champion Dwain Chambers is to manufacture his most up-to-date return to athletics on the age of 40 when he traces up within the 60m on the British Indoor Championships on Saturday.
He used to be banned for doping in 2004 nevertheless returned to the sport in 2006 and received the 60m world indoor title in 2010.
Chambers has entirely competed twice since formally retiring in July 2017.
His time of 6.70 seconds on the Lee Valley December Starting up used to be the 17th quickest within the UK closing year.
The pause two in Birmingham will automatically be chosen for subsequent month's European Indoors in Glasgow, equipped they meet the qualifying time of 6.60secs.
Chambers, who closing ran for Gigantic Britain in 2014, attempted to rupture into American football at some stage in his two-year doping ban and did so again in 2007, earlier than an unsuccessful trial spell at rugby league club Castleford Tigers in 2008.
He took gold on the World Indoors in Doha in 2010 and bronze two years later in Istanbul.

Q: links not working using cufon in IE8 I've been experiencing a really weird bug using cufon in IE8. I'm trying to replace the font of my navigation links with cufon. this works fine in FF, Chrome and most of the time in IE8. But ever so often it seems to apply the link only on the letters of the link. e.g. when I click directly on the letter it will link correctly but when I click between 2 letters of a word the link is not present.
this is how I've structured my navigation:

link1

link2

        link 3

sublink1

sublink2

and this is how I apply cufon
Cufon.replace('.top_nav a');

A: If possible, turn your links into block elements (css => display: block). I limit my usage of Cufon and apply only to headings and important links. This was the case with the last website I worked on and all Cufon texts were block elements. By the way, I wouldn't use Cufon today anymore. I prefer the font-face solution with http://www.fontsquirrel.com/.

Q: Upload array of files with thumbnail Im trying to upload multiple files from a single form but for some reason i get "The upload path does not appear to be valid." I have checked permissions and they are correct, so i dont know if this is a problem with the images it self.. these are the functions i use to create the images
<input type="file" name="images[]" multiple id="img"></input>

function upload_image(){

    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
    $config['max_size'] = 2*1024;
    $config['max_width']  = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '1024';
    $config['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('images'))
    {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
        return $error;
    }
    else
    {
        for($i = 0, $t = count($_FILES['images']); $i < $t; $i++) {

            $id = $this->files->create_thumb($i);

        }
    }
}

 function create_thumb($i){

    $file = $this->upload->data();
    $files = $file['file_name'];
    $fields = array('files' => $files[$i]);

    print_r($fields);
    exit;

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++) {

    $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
    $config['source_image'] = 'files/images/'.$files[$i];
    $config['new_image']    = 'files/images/thumbs/'.$files[$i];
    $config['thumb_marker'] = '';
    $config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
    $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
    $config['width']     = 120;
    $config['height']   = 120;

    $this->load->library('image_lib');
    $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
    $this->image_lib->resize();
    $this->image_lib->clear();

    }

}

A: Move your config to config/upload.php. As an alternative solution, you can use the following line of code to initialize the config after loading the library:
$this->upload->initialize($config);

From the documentation:

If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called the upload.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file in: config/upload.php and it will be used automatically. You will NOT need to use the $this->upload->initialize function if you save your preferences in a config file.

To check if your directory is accessible by PHP, you can use is_dir():
var_dump(is_dir('/path/to/upload/folder/'));

Hope this helps!
