Update: The ESP32! Finally an affordable, programmable, BLE/WiFi board for the masses! However, for many projects the HM10 still remains the cheapest and easiest way to add BLE (because it does not need to be programmed).
In case you don't know, the HM10 is a small chip made by JNHuaMao that uses a Texas Instruments CC2540 (or CC2541) BLE chip to function as a serial pass trough. Like the Arduino it has a TX and a RX pin: data it receives over serial will be sent trough Bluetooth to the iDevice, and vice versa. The HM10 has more capabillities, like being able to act as an iBeacon or as a central device, which we won't get into.
I expect that you already have some experience with programming Arduino's and iPhone apps. I'll explain what needs to be done and provide sample code, but I won't give you step-by-step instructions.
It is neccesary to have a basic understanding of BLE as well. I recommend watching 'Core Bluetooth 101' from WWDC 2012.
HM10's are available on eBay for just $2 including shipping. But keep in mind that the HM10 runs off 2.0 – 3.7 Volts, while most Arduino's use 5V. This can be solved with a simple voltage divider, or – for a few bucks extra – you can get a module already soldered onto a regulator like this one (or get a HM16).
The HM11 is basically the HM10 but in a smaller package. Also, not all of the CC2540's pins are exposed with the HM11. But we won't be needing those anyway, so you can also get a HM11 if you prefer.
Since I wrote the first version of this tutorial JNHuaMao has released newer versions of the HM10 and HM11 with new 32bit chips: the HM16 and HM17. Improvements include bluetooth 4.1 compatibility and 5-volt tolerance. The HM18 and HM19 support bluetooth 4.2.
A standalone HM10 will need to be soldered, for which you need a soldering iron with a very fine tip.
And apart from an Arduino and some wires, you could optionally add a LED with a 470Ω resistor, and a button with a 1kΩ resistor.
If you don't have any Arduino's laying around, you'll also need an USB to Serial adaptor.
The first HM10 I ordered turned out to a fake one from Bolutek. While they will function alright as a serial passtrough, they have fewer features and AT commands. Also the format of the AT commands is different (which we'll get to in a sec). The main difference in hardware is the missing 32kHz external oscillator (the two solder pads in the top left of the middle board). While the original HM10 firmware seems to work fine on fake boards (I will cover flashing HM10s in a later tutorial), other CC2541 firmwares like BlueBasic do require an external oscillator. I recommend getting a genuine HM10, nowadays they cost the same as fakes anyway.
If you are going to use it with a 5V device, a voltage divider is needed for the RX pin and + pin. If there is a 3.3V power supply available (like on most Arduino boards) you can obviously leave out the voltage divider on the + pin. Though in my experience you only need a divider for the + pin, my HM10s have handled 5V signals on the RX pin just fine.
It can be usefull to be able to see wether the module is powered and whether it is connected. So if you want you can connect a LED and a 470Ω resistor in series between the LED pin of the HM10, and GND. This LED will flash once a second when turned on, and stay on if it is connected to a BLE device.
Optionally you can connect a button to the 2nd lowest pin on the left side of the board, as seen on the diagram.
Next we are going to configre the HM10. Though if you are okay with the default settings, you can skip this step.
The HM10 is configured by sending AT commands to it using its physical serial connection. Connect your bluetooth module to a USB to Serial converter* (+ to +, – to -, TX to RX and RX to TX). If you don't have one, you can also use an Arduino board with the example SoftwareSerial sketch loaded. Optionally, if you change the mode of the HM10, it can also accept AT commands over bluetooth (with some restrictions).
Type AT (uppercase, no spaces) and hit enter. If all is well, the HM10 should immediatly respond with OK.
Now that we've verified that it's working, we can change the name of the module: To change the name to 'Bluetooth Serial', type AT+NAMEBluetooth Serial and hit enter, it should respond with something like OK+Set:Bluetooth Serial. To get the current name, type AT+NAME?.
We can do much more with AT commands, most importantly changing the passcode and the baudrate. A complete list of all AT commands can be found in the datasheet.
* Note: I do not recommend buying a FT232R based USB-Serial converter, unless you are absolutely sure it is a legit one. If it tuns out to be fake, it is going to be useless.
** Note: If your HM10 is a fake (like mine turned out to be) the AT commands available will be different, and it might require a carriage return + line ending (\r\n) at the end of every command. Here are the AT commands of the Bolutek CC41.
Use AT+BAUDx to change the baudrate, x being the desired option from the table below. Note that when you change the baudrate, it will not respond any more as the serial monitor will also have to change its baudrate.
The manual notes that this command should not be used in versions older than V515 (use AT+VERR? to find out the version) and that under Android 4.3, AT+TYPE1 is the same as AT+TYPE2. AT+TYPE3 is added in V524. I have a tutorial here on updating the HM10 firmware on a Mac.
Now that the connection type has been set, we can update the passcode using AT+PASSx, x being a six-digit number. On older versions of the firmware you might have to use AT+PINx instead. To get the current passcode use AT+PASS?.
To forget a paired device, use AT+ERASE followed by AT+RESET to restart it. Important: After doing this the iOS device will still think it is paired with the device, which can result in some strange behaviour. You must "Forget" this device manually in the iOS System Preferences too!
* Note: I have no idea what the purpose of this mode is. All this does (as far as I know) is it triggers a pairing request alert every time you try to connect. The iOS device does not actually remember the pairing like with AT+TYPE3.
** Note: Bytes sent from iOS immediately after pairing do not seem to be transmitted properly.
Now it's time to test wether everything works as expected. Keep your HM10 connected to your computer and download my Bluetooth Serial test app on the app store. Open the app and connect to the HM10. Once it has been connected, the status LED will stop blinking and stay on.
Text you type in the app will now show up in the serial monitor, and text you type in the serial monitor will appear in the app.
You can also use the pro version, which has a tonne of extra features that will help you debug HM10 applications.
Here is a sketch written by someone else (Ladvien) that used the HM10. Another example would be my Stein;Way project.
I'm not going to provide a sample sketch as your application won't be anything like blinking a LED anyway (I presume?), but if you need help just leave a comment below.
I won't explain every single step of writing the iOS app either – I'm more a fan of learning by studying sample code. I have published the code of my HM10 test app on GitHub. Other examples are my Eaze and Bluetooth MIDI iOS apps.
And maybe you don't need to code at all! HM10 Bluetooth Serial Pro supports creating buttons that send custom, pre-set messages. That could be all you need.
The HM10 has one service, 0xFFE0, which has one characteristic, 0xFFE1 (these UUIDs can be changed with AT commands by the way). This service is both the one you have to read and write to/from. Long messages will be broken into smaller parts – keep this in mind when deciding on your protocol.
You don't even have to write your own implementation – you can just use my BluetoothSerial class. It will do all of the Core Bluetooth stuff for you. First initialize it with func init(delegate:), then use scanForPeripherals to start scanning. You'll have to provide an UI yourself that will list all peripherals that are reported to the delegate – using serialDidDiscoverPeripheral – so the user can choose one. Connect to it with connectToPeripheral, and the SerialHandler will notify you when it is ready with serialIsReady.
Now you can communicate with the connected peripheral using various functions/delegate functions. You can choose to send and/or receive either strings, bytes, or data objects.
I suggest that you have one global instance of this class, of which the delegate is always set to the current view that is using it.
Note 1: every delegate of the BluetoothSerial should implement the serialDidChangeState delegate method, in case bluetooth is turned off. And when de HM10 is connected, all delegates should also implement serialDidDisconnect in case the HM10 is turned off. Common programmers sense applies here.
Note 2: You'll still need to put import CoreBluetooth in every file you use BluetoothSerial, as some of the CB classes are still going to be used (like CBPeripheral and CBCentralManagerState)..
Note 3: Be sure to set writeWithResponse correctly. Explanation is available in the source code. WriteType is set automatically.
Now we're ready to communicate with the HM10. According to Apple's Best Practices, there is a third way to retreive peripherals. However, I have not included it, beceause in my view it is not needed.
Peripherals that have been disconnected from the iDevice can still stay connected for up to 50 seconds, a 'feature' described here. So just in case the user tries to reconnect within 50 seconds after disconnecting, we have to search for all already connected devices as well (step 3).
We can write data to the module by calling connectedPeripheral!.writeValue(data:, forCharacteristic:, type:) with the data you want to send, the characteristic we made a reference to earlier, and finally the writetype that we also determined while connecting.
This is very important! When writing data over BLE, legit HM10 modules require writing without response while fake HM10's may require writing with response. However, we don't need to worry about this, because we can simple look at the characteristic.properties to know what WriteType we need to use.
We can receive data by implementing the CBPeripheralDelegate method peripheral(peripheral:, didUpdateValueForCharacteristic characteristic:, error:) This will get called because we subscribed to the characteristic earlier on, remember?
Note: Don't forget to have a look at the documentation of CBCentralManagerDelegate and CBPeripheralDelegate, there are of course more functions you'll need to implement to properly handle unexpected changes.
Connect an Arduino to your iPhone | Let's make Robots!
Once the HM10 is configured and the CoreBluetooth stuff is taken care off, the communication really isn't that hard, it is in fact like any other serial communication.
I hope that I have explained enough for you to write your own code, but if you have any questions or need help with your project, just leave a comment blow.
If my tutorial and sample code have helped you, please consider getting the HM10 Bluetooth Serial Pro app. It has a tonne of useful features for debugging HM10 projects and it allows you to create buttons for pre-set messages (possibly removing the need for you to code entirely!).
Update 17/01/19: If you have experience with Ionic/Cordova check out robofred's SPP over BLE project. He is looking to create an easy to use cross-platform solution for BLE serial communications and is currently searching for programmers who could help him achieve this.
Edit 03/04/18: Added info about ESP32 and added 2nd note to the part about pairing.
Edit 16/02/18: Updated part about AT commands with more information about the pairing behaviour.
Edit 18/04/17: Changes all around, updated code, updated links, plus info about HM10 Bluetooth Serial Pro.
Edit 13/04/16: Some major changes in the code I provided. Nothing functional, just better/nicer/cleaner code. I also added more information, and made the article better readable.
Edit 14/10/15: I've added some info's about the difference in writing data to fake or legit HM10's.

From what I read, the figure skating schedule is a compromise.. NBC gets about half of the figure skating events in the morning in Beijing so they can be show in primetime in the US. As Karenina note
A lot of the people on social media complaining about NBC's coverage clearly did the bare minimum in terms of figuring out where events would air and just assumed that Peacock would have everything.

Expect a lot of ice and snow with all the Winter Olympics sports stylistically presented with the likes of the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and a modern Beijing skyline prominent set to a mashup of traditional Chinese and contemporary music.
120+ hours live on TV for up to 16 hours a day on 8 days (usually from 2am to 4pm German time) with 500 hours online and mobile out of sportschau.de and at the ARD video library live and on-demand including highlights from the competitions, interviews, studio talks and critical views of the host country China). ZDF and ARD (aka Das Erste) share a joint cross-media studio in Mainz and not in Beijing but will also engage in a joint external position of ARD and ZDF in the International Broadcast Center in the mountains. Julia Scharf and Jessy Wellmer (pictured at the top of this URL) make their German Olympic TV debuts as studio anchor host presenters on ARD. Kati Wilhelm (biathlon), Sven Hannawald (ski jumping) and Felix Neureuther (alpine skiing) also competently accompanies the ARD Olympic program with 1984 and 1988 Olympic figure skating champion Katarina Witt joins the trio as a guest. Michael Antwerpes welcomes interesting interlocutors and hopefully many happy medal winners as Markus Othmer, Claus Lufen, Stephanie Müller-Spirra, and Lea Wagner serve as on-location reporters. ARD's Hajo Seppelt and Tamara Anthony tackle doping and the critical Chinese political and social issues from the hosts, respectively. 60 ARD radio stations across Germany will handle the radio broadcast involving live medal situations involving Germany/Team D and critical discussions, reports, analysis, interviews, and emotions both in and beyond the sporting arenas with Dirk Walsdorff, Martina Knief, Anne van Eickels, and Alexander Bleick from Beijing during morning prime time on BR. An Olympic podcast is already in existence with Julia Scharf and Philipp Nagel in a weekly presentation talking with German Winter Olympic athlete hopefuls that will soon turn into a twice daily Olympia Aktuell in the mornings and afternoons German time. Finally, Live center, live scores, live ticker, highlights, and even the emotional, extraordinary and bizarre moments of the Winter Games are available on the social media channels of the Sportschau on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

40-year old Anne Rimmen will once again host TVNorge/Discovery+ 's Olympic Games coverage on Olympic Night at 19:30-21 Norwegian time. But this time with Beijing, she will have a new Olympic TV studio partner with her in Carsten Skjelbreid getting his turn following Jon Almaas in Pyeongchang and then Henrik Elvestad in Tokyo this summer. Rimmen is looking forward to working with Skjelbreid going along with her hosting and journalist resume background while "gaining renewed confidence" every time doing it. She prefers mostly that the focus is kept on the sports aspect with the Olympics but adds we cannot ignore the political and social elements and undercurrents around it in China and around the world. Nor is it the media's task to boycott the upcoming Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and "turn our backs on what's happening":

Again as a reminder, it's up to 20 hours of Olympic coverage fun for each Winter Olympic day with emphasis on sports of great interest to Norwegians like cross-country skiing, combined, freestyle skiing, biathlon and ice skating, take place in the morning or in the morning Norwegian time. Olympic competition days will start approximately at 02.00 and last until 16.00 in the afternoon Norwegian time on TVNorge alone with over 800 streaming hours on Discovery+. At nighttime and around the broadcasts of alpine skiing, Line Andersen will be the host of the Olympics live, while the Olympic Studio during the daytime hours are led by Susanne Furøy Wergeland and Jan Ove Kjøndal. Every night from 19.30 will be Olympic Night on TVNorge. Anne Rimmen brings in her new partner, Carsten Skjelbreid, and they will celebrate all Norwegian medals, summarize the day, interview Norwegian athletes, and recharge for the upcoming Olympic day.

Noticed on SKY Sports NZ's Olympic webpage that PRIME NZ, SKY's sister free-to-air TV channel, is back involved with the Olympics at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics instead of TVNZ. Guess this has to do with not as much domestic interest and pedigree in the Winter Games than in the summer for TVNZ to care about it this time around with extensive marathon daily coverage. PRIME, like TVNZ One, will surely place focus on the Kiwis as well as the biggest and popular Winter Olympic sports to New Zealanders.
Italy was facing Japan and Latvia in the 2022 Pre-Olympic Women's Curling Qualification Tournament earlier this month December 11-18 for among the last six passes to qualify in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, broadcasted some matches live on the linear channels Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2, and live streaming on Eurosport Player and Discovery +.

Anything on what the BBC will be doing for Beijing, if anything? I know we've had Christmas and New Year holidays but I was expecting some kind of details to emerge this week with a month to go. Tbh I don't know for certain if they've even got any rights to winter games under the new arrangement with Discovery...

A couple of thoughts on the NBC announcement.
1. Nothing said about the Olympic Channel, and how it might be used. In 2018, they used it for a constant highlight show, IIRC, a reporters' roundtable, and victory ceremonies. But then, I realize yesterday's announcement was to focus on streaming, not broadcast channels.
2. Because it's showing everything on Peacock, it may now be possible for anyone in the world who has a good VPN to watch the US coverage, if you want to.
Ooops, I should have read better. It's only on Peacock's premium tier.
Can't forget that there's still US Figure Skating and Speed Skating Championships going on in Nashville and West Allis, Wisconsin, respectively. Currently shown obviously on NBC, USA, and Peacock streaming from Wednesday to Sunday as we Americans embark a new Olympic broadcasting era minus NBCSN (RIP ). Already some serious American Olympic contenders in both sports have dropped out from competition citing COVID, something not altogether unexpected:
https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/12/30/nbcsn-shutdown-usa-network-sports-schedule/
NBC figure skating commentator Tara Lipinski holds some interesting thoughts in speaking to Julie Stewart-Binks about the preparations in the lead-up and being in Beijing, China with all those massive and authoritative measures with testing and quarantining installed in the Beijing bubble and "feeling very nervous" for them upon qualification. Including herself as a certified media member attempting to take much precaution as possible. Obviously on everyone's mind:
https://awfulannouncing.com/olympics/tara-lipinski-very-nervous-beijing-olympics-athlete-julie-stewart-binks.html
From the "Hmmmm..." department, I wonder if NBC would possibly conduct some Salt Lake City 20-year retrospective nods by possibly brining in some notable personalities from those very Winter Games and reflect on them. Even if they result in just segments. If you're Aussie, for example, you can surely expect Bradbury and Camplin to be involved with Seven's Beijing 2022 broadcasting team and offer their memories there, as they've been stallworths for Seven's and Ten's coverage since 2002.
Spain's Pyeongchang 2018 snowboarding bronze medalist Regino Hernandez immediately retires from the sport and becomes the first Eurosport Espana's major Beijing 2022 sportscasting signing. Not only he'll cover all the snowboarding disciplines in Beijing, he will actively participate in Eurosport's daily program that will summarize each day of the Games. Hernandez will be joined by the experienced and illustrious staff of Marta Senra, José Manuel Tallada (whom Hernandez will join in snowboarding calls), Miguel Ángel Yáñez, José Luis Corral/or Eduardo de Paz:

Not every Olympic broadcast rights holder will be spared from the Chinese wrath when it comes to covering their professional obligations to touch on controversial issues in China. Ceska Televize is one such example when it recently tried to look into the Beijing Olympic Village--and ended up bullied. Would they do this to NBC? Interesting if that happened to them:

Telewizja Polska will show 200 hours of transmission from the Olympic Games in Beijing - on TVP1 and TVP Sport, as well as on the tvpsport.pl website and on the TVP Sport mobile app. All reports will be embellished with the sports analytical studies. There will be repetitions of the day's most important broadcasts and daily summaries. For now, TVP reveals that the ski jumping competition will be commented by Przemysław Babiarz and Stanisław Snopek. TVP will be present wherever the Polish Olympic athletes will be present like in, of course but not limited to, ski jumping but also short track, biathlon, speed skating, cross-country skiing. TVP will focus primarily on Team Poland's performances with its Beijing 2022 coverage--not only will TVP Sport show their struggles, but also conduct interviews with them right after the end of a given competition. Telewizja Polska will have 6 reporting teams--5 from TVP Sport and one from TVP Info. Three teams from TVP Sport will be located in the mountains (ski jumping and cross-country skiing, biathlon), one in Beijing (speed skating and short track) and one in the place where the alpine skiing competition takes place. In addition, TVP will have its own studio on the hill, which will be anchored by Maciej Kurzajewski.
Just like with Tokyo last summer, TVP Sport will present its daily Beijing 2022 nighttime news/summary/event replay program called Olympic Evening on 22:00 (10pm) Poland/EET time. And just earlier before Olympic Evening, TVP Sport will summarize the most important moments of the Olympics each day ("Events Of The Day" from 20-21.50--8-9:50pm). As in the case of Tokyo, Eurosport has exclusive rights to broadcast the Games in 4K. Therefore, TVP 4K, which operated during Euro 2020, will not be reactivated again. The entertainment channel TVP 4K will not start until autumn 2022. Admist all this, it hopes to have better viewership numbers on its 2 TVP channels coming up more akin to Sochi 2014 than with Pyeongchang 2018. Eurosport's average numbers for Pyeongchang 2018 in Poland, according to Nielsen Audience Measurement data, were 97,000 on Eurosport 1 and 29,000 on Eurosport 2:

As in the case of Tokyo, Eurosport holds exclusive rights to broadcast the Beijing 2022 Winter Games in 4K and not TVP in Poland. Therefore, TVP 4K, which operated during Euro 2020, will not be reactivated again. TVP's 4K entertainment and sports channel will not start until autumn 2022:

ZDF and ARD both originally planned to have a full-on joint studio on-location in Beijing but opted to stay in Mainz to assure broadcast security. That and air freight complication costs, being only allowed just two rental cars for the entire team (with a Chinese driver), transport, etc. Will still conduct "[e]motional interviews, unfiltered information, your own impressions and classifications, and in-depth research are elementary - especially in a host country that is ranked 177th out of 180 by the 'Reporters Without Borders' organization in the list of press freedom" not being forbidden to make critical assessments about China. Plus, Christoph Netzel is very proud of the strong female on-camera presence for ARD's Beijing 2022 coverage:

On 1/6/2022 at 6:46 PM, Triplecast said:
They only address Peacock. I haven't seen anything regarding TV plans, so we have nothing on that front at this point. They used Olympic Channel for competition from Tokyo and I could see them doing the same here, maybe with some extra hockey or curling games. USA Network I presume will once again be the main cable outlet with 24/7 coverage. CNBC will likely have events at night. They'll need another network to cover the morning (US time) hockey games since they probably won't be able to pre-empt business day programming on CNBC. MSNBC has been out of the picture since 2016, so I don't think it'll be them. Hence why Olympic Channel could be a landing spot.
Glad to see NBC is making the sensible decision with Peacock and making the Olympics accessible to everyone. Should have done that for Tokyo, and we know what a mess that was. Hopefully they have their act together this time around.

Surely Americans don't have to pay to watch the Olympics?

Of course I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley. A couple of caveats with that though..
NBC will still have coverage every day. That's free over the air, of course. Don't have to pay for that. The NBC Sports App and nbcolympics.com will still likely have coverage of all the events. Yes, this require cable/satellite authentication, but for those who have it, nothing extra to pay. Peacock is an option for cord cutters that wasn't really a thing for Tokyo. They had some coverage on there, but much less than a lot of people were led to believe. We've always heard the line of thinking that NBC should make all the coverage available for anyone who doesn't have it and even if they have to charge for it, it's still worth it for the accessibility. That's what they did here. Pay $5 for the month and you get the entire Olympics, then cancel right afterwards. And remember, Comcast subscribers (and I think a couple of other cable companies) include Peacock for free. So this is a huge improvement over what they've had in the past for that segment of the audience. If you already have Peacock, nothing extra to pay.
Looks like the OBS intro has already been leaked

CBC has announced their Olympics crews, and on hockey they've got Chris Cuthbert and Bryan Mudryk, interesting that they are using a TSN guy on the coverage. Brenda Irving has the figure skating coverage, that used to be Cuthbert's role and before him, Ted Reynolds.
Get excited Canadians for 2500 hours of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic action with 23 hours daily on the CBC's English side! The usual suspects are going to be there for it--15x Olympic broadcast vet Scott Russell (Olympic Winter Games Primetime--6-11pm CT), Andi Petrillo (CBC Olympic Winter Games Morning--5-11am), Perdita Felicien, and The National's Andrew Chang will be there. But like Tokyo, the CBC team will again be broadcasting live from Toronto. No host for CBC Olympic Winter Games Overtime, though--just full, live, uninterrupted coverage of sports at the 11pm-5am CT segment. Latter two will have their new version of Tokyo Tonight with Beijing Tonight at 12-5pm. One interesting new wrinkle comes in the Samsung Hockey Show co-hosted by Harnaryan Singh, PJ Stock, and Hailey Salvian that comes at 11am–12 pm live everyday on CBC, TSN, Sportsnet and repeating nightly on the latter two sports channels. Given that Canada is such a huge hockey-mad nation, the CBC/TSN/Sportsnet (and even CTV, whenever it was anchor broadcaster during some Winter Olympics), why didn't they conjured up such an Olympic hockey program in recent past Olympics like, say, back in 1980? I'll offer my thoughts on some of the CBC Beijing 2022 Olympic sportscasting team soon, but you would expect bigger personnel with hockey, figure skating, and curling. But I think the CBC may would've garner another person or two in alpine skiing, speed skating, short track, and snowboarding. Maybe.
And, of course, "Canadians will be able to follow the action through CBC Gem, the CBC Sports app for iOS and Android devices, and CBC's dedicated Beijing 2022 website — which will feature live-streaming of all the broadcasts, as well as non-TV events.
CBC's Olympic website, cbc.ca/beijing2022, will include full event schedules, athlete bios, in-depth features and all the latest updates. CBC Sports will provide thorough reporting along with highlights, digital series, and on-demand replays of the biggest moments and events [that we now come to expect these days]. CBC News will also keep Canadians informed of breaking stories with a small team of reporters on the ground in Beijing including Adrienne Arsenault, Anthony Germain, Steven D'Souza, Kris Reyes, and Lisa Xing. Audiences can tune in for live coverage daily on The National, CBC News Network, CBC Radio, cbcnews.ca, the CBC News app and on local CBC TV newscasts":

As Hong Kong's Olympic Committee sets to send a handful of Hong Kong athletes to Beijing by late January--something like up to 3 of them, TVB is hoping more people can support Hong Kong athletes and publicity of the WOG through its broadcast of the Winter Olympic Games. The broadcaster bought the sole HK broadcasting rights for an estimated HK$10 million and will provide 120 hours of live terrestrial TV coverage and highlights added with through five free channels and another 1700 hours (nine channels from that) through its OTT platform at myTV Super. A veteran Hong Kong sports broadcaster says it was difficult to compare the Winter Olympics with the Tokyo Games last summer in terms of popularity, largely because a) there's far less sports on the Winter side and b) there's obviously far less Winter Olympics medal success and prospects for Hong Kong out of this team like with past members--HK has no Winter Olympic medals in its tally:

ORF's Beijing 2022 Olympische Winterspielen promo interspersed with footage from the Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony with Austria's (and some foriegn) winter athletes in action like at Pyeongchang 2018 with 6 Austrian Winter Olympians all sporting black T-shirts saying Rock The Snow Now. Promoting its coverage starting February 4 with the live presentation of the Opening Ceremony at 12:30 Austria/CET on ORF1. I hope to see and ID these Austrian athletes later:

Big press release from NBC with details of their coverage. No full schedule, but... HOW TO WATCH THE 2022 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
Peacock will have live streaming of every event on their FREE tier. Premium customers also get the ceremonies, on-demand replays, plus some exclusive studio show content.
NBC will have their usual fare. Looks like the number of hours is up from 4 years ago, so that's a plus
USA and CNBC will be the only cable outlets. NBCSN is no more. No mention of Olympic Channel who I presume won't have anything more than the OBS highlights feed from 4 years ago.

NBC only had 176 hours from PyeongChang so it looks like that number will be well up this time around

Pretty good stuff. Am concerned too about the Olympic Channel--presumed too it will revert to OBS programming and highlights.
The BBC reveals its Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics coverage plans today with over 300 hours showing live coverage and highlights of all the major events across BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 (daily 1-hour Beijing 2022 extended highlight show only at 20:00 UK time), BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website throughout the Winter Games with the latter three each having a second stream of live footage along with live text coverage, medal table counts, on-demand access clips plus a live restart function on BBC iPlayer. Hazel Irvine, Jeanette Kwakye, Ayo Akinwolere, and JJ Chalmers will lead the coverage, with Clare Balding hosting a daily highlights show on BBC2 and Aimee Fuller presenting Extra, a daily one-hour extended highlights show on BBC3. The BBC's Media City UK in Salford is designing a dock10's virtual reality studio providing a "ski lodge" setting for the production.
Here's the daily Beijing 2022 BBC TV programming schedule: At 00:00-6:00, Ayo Akinwolere presents the overnight action on BBC1. Then at 6:00-9:00, Jeanette Kwakye presents live action on BBC2. When the 9:15-12:00 programming block comes, Hazel Irvine leads coverage when it returns to BBC1. JJ Chalmers presents extended replays on BBC2 at 15:00. Clare Balding presents Today At The Games on BBC2 at 19:00 after that to conclude the BBC2's daily segments of coverage. At 20:00, Aimee Fuller presents 1-hour of extended highlights on BBC3. The BBC's Beijing 2022 analysts are studded with legendary British winter sports headlined by Jane Torvill, Christopher Dean, Robin Cousins, Lizzy Yarnold, Chemmy Alcott, Shelley Rudan, Wilf O'Reilly, Rhona Howie, Jenny Jones, Zoe Gillings, Graham Bell, John Jackson, and Jackie Lockhart. They'll be joined by the likes of former middle distance runner Steve Cram and Matt Chilton. BBC's ice hockey coverage is conducted by Seth Bennett and Kent Simpson. I noticed the BBC doesn't have a separate sportscasting team set for short track. Maybe the BBC is combining the two disciplines. With Elsie Christie retired (at least for now), I would presume the BBC would hire her for short track analysis. Wilf O'Reilly is a former short track athlete during its demonstration status. Jenny Jones, Matthew Pinsent, and Sarah Mulkerrins will be reporting from Beijing with BBC iPlayer documentary Free Spirits launching ahead of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which follows a group of Team GB freestyle skiers and snowboarders around the world as they prepare for the Olympics.

Aha, finally they realise there's an Olympics on . More coverage than I was expecting actually - obviously it's less than it would've presumably been without the Discovery deal but even so, at least it looks equal to Tokyo - which actually means more proportionally. I genuinely expected there'd be barely any coverage. Looking forward to it now, it hasn't really felt like an Olympic lead up yet.
For Discovery Sweden, there's plenty of optimism in their coverage that will show the likes of Swedish medal contenders such as cross-country ski stars Frida Karlsson and Maja Dahlqvist, the Swedish men's and women national ice hockey teams that won't be filled with Swedish NHL stars, ice skating champ Nils van der Poel, ski cross supremo Sandra Näslund, and the biathlon sisters Hanna and Elvira Öberg all to look forward to see. With that, Discovery Sweden assembled a very solid sportscasting number of profiles, many decorated, for its Beijing 2022 coverage that's now complete. The now-filled Swedish roster now includes Viktor Stålberg and Daniel Rudslätt on-site in Beijing as ice hockey experts. Hans Olsson returns to Discovery as an alpine skiing expert, Emelie Öhrstig and Peter Larsson are experts in cross-country skiing and Simon Hallström likewise to join Magdelena Forsberg in biathlon. For ice hockey alone, Discovery will send 7 people, including two cameramen, to Beijing for ice hockey alone like Tommy Astrom, Petra Svensson, Stålberg, and rinkside reporter Camilla Nordlund Enström. Discovery Sweden will also 8 other reporters to Beijing.
But a significant part of the Discovery Sweden's Beijing 2022 sportscasting team will remain in Stockholm like the major names that got announced earlier to drum up interest (Peter Forsberg, Henrik Lundqvist, Öhrstig, and Andre Myhrer). The curling, figure skating, speed skating, short track, freestyle/snowboarding, bobsled/luge/skeleton, and ski jumping/Nordic combined are all staying in Stockholm interestingly. Even the star-studded ice hockey sportscasting studio team, that also includes former women's goalie Kim Martin and Fanny Rask with its own commentators (Björn Geijer, Tobias Dahlberg) is staying home( but remember, 7 Discovery Sweden hockey people are going too). So is its sole biathlon expert not going to Beijing (Simon Hallstrom) with the big team. Cross country will have a small team, nearly the same as the Stockholm side. Alpine skiing and freestyle skiing/snowboarding will each only send a reporter and a cameraman to Beijing.
The Swedish Beijing 2022 broadcast layout coming from Discovery Sweden goes like this: At 2:00-17:00 Sweden/CET, the Beijing competitions are broadcast live on Kanal 5. Then during the 7:00-17:00 timeframe, Olympic Studio (OS-Studion) with the studio anchor presenters Karin Frick and Jonas Karlsson, returning for another Olympic excursion, will be present to host the live broadcasts that are supplemented and summarized from Stockholm. On 17:00-19:00 on discovery + and Kanal 5, highlights, analysis, and other aspects are brought forth. From 19:00 to 21:00, Jessica Almenäs returns for the Beijing version of Olympic Nights (OS-Kvall) with this program visited by many of our biggest profiles who comment on the best moments from the competitions, the latest explorations, and the historical moments. Well-known Swedish sports journalist Patrick Ekwall offers in the program personal reflections, his own list of big and small events and historical moments. Coverage on TV starts on Kanal 5 really with the curling qualifiers on February 2 and on February 3, Damkronorna (Sweden's women's ice hockey team) will play Japan in their first group game before its Opening Ceremony broadcast. Kanal 9, Kanal 5's sister channel, will tackle the best of the Beijing 2022 competition and highlights. The Winter Olympics competition coverage ends on February 20 with the ladies' mass start in cross-country skiing, 30 km. Comes with full broadcasters list for both Beijing and Stockholm:

Eurosport Germany presents its 20-person team of analyst sportscasters for its Beijing 2022 in the German-speaking world (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Combined it's including eight Olympic champions and eight other Olympic participants and consists too of more than 30 Olympics experience-Eleven gold medals and an unbelievable wealth of experience combined from the following five newcomers. Viktoria Rebensburg (alpine skiing), Aljona Savchenko (figure skating), Stella Heiss (curling), Tino Edelmann (Nordic combined), and Kevin Kuske (bobsled) are among the newest in the lineup. Another newcomer comes when Thomas Wagner teams with German Olympic champion gymnast Fabian Hambucher in the former's first Winter Olympics for Eurosport in the show Hambuchen & Friends--The Olympics Show at 5pm daily with highlights and the Eurosport analysts stopping by while largely focusing on TeamD with virtual live switching from Beijing to the studio. We've already mentioned about Christian Ehrroff and his upcoming Eurosport Germany hockey connections. For the most part, I don't think they'll be on location in Beijing. But excluding those names mentioned above, the Eurosport Deutschland Beijing 2022 analyst/expert roster is: Jochen Behle (cross-country skiing), Fritz Dopfer (alpine skiing), Patrick Ehelechner (ice hockey), Florian Eigler (ski cross), Anni Friesinger-Postma (speed skating), Fabian Hambüchen (Show host), Hans-Peter Pohl (Nordic combined), Viktoria Rebensburg (alpine skiing), Tobias Reindl (freestyle skiing), Andreas Renz (ice hockey), Michael Rösch (biathlon ), Julian von Schleinitz (luge/skeleton/tobogganing), Martin Schmitt (ski jumping), Werner Schuster (ski jumping), and Frank Wörndl (alpine skiing):

TVU Networks are at it again with its solutions and support systems for Olympics broadcasters in Beijing just like with Tokyo with all the challenges associated in the COVID era. Professional remote reporting and interviews conducted from home or studio and equipment delivery, essentially are musts in these times. Certainly won't stop TVU with its unlimited 5G data, 4K capabilities, 24x7 live feeds, and high-speed Internet access and language assistance utilized there in making broadcast-quality video in any location. Expect this used for those distant live watch parties and all-in-one mobile interview kits like we saw last summer with Tokyo too:

Next Thursday night, TV5 and Discovery+ will exclusively air the 2022 Lions Olympic Hockey Selection Show live at 7pm Finland time as it reveals who will get the privilege to wear the Lions jerseys for Team Finland in Beijing with no NHL players going to be involved, which that alone makes it interesting. On Thursday night's broadcast, the coaches of the men's and women's Lions teams--Jukka Jalonen and Pasi Mustonen, respectively--along with the GMs Jere Lehtinen and Tuula Puputti will publicly announce the Olympic men's and women's hockey teams. The selection program will also be attended by Mika Lehtimäki, Director of the Finnish Olympic Committee's Center of Excellence, and the selections will be analyzed by Discovery's Olympic and Finland national hockey experts Tuomas Grönman and Annina Rajahuhta.
As a reminder, TV5 is Discovery's official Olympic terrestrial channel, offering coverage from Beijing throughout the Games from morning to night. Live broadcasts start at half past six and eight, depending on the morning, and ends at 5 or 6 pm Finland time. Discovery Finland also holds the exclusive right to present the Olympics during the best viewing time of the evening from 7-9 pm. At that time, TV5 will present compilations and highlights of the most interesting sports, and at every night from 8-9 pm, a hockey-focused studio broadcast summarizing the hockey events of the day:

KBS over in South Korea has some serious plans for its portion of the South Korean Beijing 2022 TV coverage. KBS plans to reutilize its myK online broadcast like it did during the Tokyo 2020 broadcast with multiple channels--and even strengthen it. KBS also announces at the very end of 2021, "We will strengthen the training of play-by-play sportscasters, commentator analysts, and reporters in line with the viewers' heightened awareness of human rights, awareness of human rights, and sensibilities, and secure diversity so as not to neglect sports for the disabled, unpopular sports, and women's sports." It plans to broadcast all possible events through this multi-platform strategy of TV and online. Fuller details will arrive soon, if not now:

KBS by the way did conduct a press conference last week on January 3 to announce its Beijing 2022 broadcast coverage plans with a YouTube video. But geoblocking prevent this for me to upload it. Will actually get to the details on my post here.
This just got uploaded several hours ago. SportsMax TV, the West Indies Olympic broadcasting rights holders to these Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Games, uploaded its promo with much of the footage coming from Pyeongchang. Not much in the way of plans have emerged--like will both SportsMax and SportsMax 2 show these Olympics and be nearly 24 hours?--but will soon arrive. We can expect the popular Jamaican bobsledders (with a possible compatriot skiier joining them) to get promotion, although Haiti is expected to send its Winter Olympics debut with its first alpine skiier in Richardson Viano with him having met basic Olympic qualification requirements. Bermuda is awaiting word on its athletes. BVI, Dominica, and Cayman Islands all aren't taking part since 2014. Trinidad & Tobago haven't seen Winter Olympic action in 20 years now with bobsledding. also available on the SportsMax app:

Coral larvae wouldn't survive vast ocean trek

Contrary to a prevailing theory, coral larvae could not survive the 3,100-mile (5,000-km) trip across the Pacific Ocean to replenish endangered corals in the eastern Pacific, according to new research.
Researchers used a supercomputer to simulate billions of coral larvae traveling on ocean currents over a 14.5-year period. The simulations showed that even during extreme environmental events that speed ocean currents, like the 1997-1998 El Niño, coral larvae could not survive long enough to make the trip from coral reefs in the western and central Pacific to help corals in the east recover from environmental damage.

"Our study uses computer simulations to allow us to answer questions about coral biology that we can't answer in the field," says Iliana Baums, associate professor of biology at Penn State and a coauthor of the study. "The information we gain can help direct conservation efforts for these vital organisms.
"Without living corals, beaches would erode at an alarming rate—there are already areas in the Caribbean that are losing a meter of beach a year due to reef loss. Reefs provide habitats for one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and they are extremely economically important for fisheries, coastal protection, tourism, the aquarium trade, and as sources for new pharmaceuticals," she says.
"The reefs in the eastern Pacific that we study are particularly important because they survive in inhospitable conditions, and understanding how they do this could be critical when designing strategies for reef conservation as the climate continues to change."
5 billion model larvae
The study used a state-of-the-art numerical model run on Bristol University's BlueCrystal supercomputer to track the dispersal of simulated coral larvae from 636 reef locations in the Pacific. The supercomputer let the researchers deal with the very large computational demands required to explicitly test, for the first time, a long-standing theory that El Niño events could promote long-distance dispersal of coral larvae across the Pacific Ocean.
Survey of 6,000 coral reefs uncovers 15 'bright spots'
The researchers used the simulations to identify reefs that either are important sources of larvae to other reefs, or are very isolated from such sources and therefore potentially more vulnerable to disturbances.
One such area is the Eastern Tropical Pacific, a large area stretching from Baja California in the north to the coastline of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands in the south. Coral reefs in this region have been around for thousands of years despite living in particularly hostile environments for reef formation with limited suitable coastline, cool temperatures, and frequent disturbances. Eastern Tropical Pacific reefs are sparsely distributed and are also very isolated, both within the region itself and from the more diverse reefs of the central and western Pacific.
"We simulated the dispersal of over five billion model larvae from 636 reefs throughout the central and eastern Pacific from 1997 to 2011," says Sally Wood, postdoctoral research associate in coral reef ecosystem modeling in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol and a coauthor of the paper. "This time period crucially covered a range of oceanographic conditions—ocean currents are highly variable over time—including the extreme El Niño of 1997-1998. Contrary to the theory that eastward dispersal may happen during El Niño events, we found no such dispersal."
As is happening worldwide at the moment during the current El Niño event, the large El Niño in 1997-1998 wiped out a lot of the corals in the eastern Pacific. Usually corals recover from events like this through a combination of proliferation of survivors and colonization by larvae that are brought in sporadically by the currents from nearby unaffected reefs.
However, the new research shows that coral reefs in the far eastern Pacific Ocean, separated from the nearest reefs by over 5,000 km of open ocean, could be on their own when it comes to recovery from mass mortality events such as happened in 1998.
Do species breach the barrier?
Biologists have been interested in this region since Darwin, who regarded the deep ocean that separates the eastern and western Pacific as an impassable barrier. Several of the same species can be found on both sides of the barrier, suggesting that the barrier has at some point been breached, but it is not clear when or how frequently this has occurred, or in what direction.
Index ranks which coral reefs are likely to die
Genetics is commonly used to detect connections between populations by measuring the level of genetic relatedness, similar to a paternity test. Recent genetic data for corals indicate that eastern and western populations of some species have been isolated for at least the previous few generations—possibly thousands of years in long-lived corals.
"We compared these genetic data to the larvae dispersal data that we simulated," says Baums. "The two data sets lined up pretty well, suggesting that our simulations are doing a good job of capturing what is actually happening in nature."
"Coral larvae are tiny and can survive for a maximum of about 120 days," saus Baums. "The larvae travel mainly by ocean currents to establish new colonies, but because of their small size it is currently impossible to track them across the vast distances of the Pacific Ocean to know if healthy populations of corals in the western Pacific could help to rejuvenate decimated populations of corals in the eastern Pacific.
"For the first time, our computer simulations combined with genetic data allowed us to test whether the larvae could survive this journey."
Collaborators on the study are from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom; Penn State; the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in Miami; the University of California, Riverside; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. The findings appear in Nature Communications.
Support for the work came from the National Environmental Research Council of the UK, the US National Science Foundation, NOAA, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the University of Bristol Alumni Foundation, and a Worldwide Universities Network Mobility Grant.

Your Bridge to work in the USA?
The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa designed to allow U.S. employers to recruit & employ foreign professionals in specialty occupations within the U.S.A. for a specified period of time.
The H-1B program provides the opportunity for foreign workers in specialty occupations to legally live and work in the U.S. for a total of 6 consecutive years, and entitles their spouses and children (under the age of 21) to accompany them and legally live in the U.S.A. on an H-4 visa.
The spouse and children have to obtain their own work visa for working.
Under H-1B visa requirements, the company, organization or the employer is the petitioner. The petitioner must file an H-1B petition for hiring the employee, while the foreign worker is the beneficiary.
Foreign individuals themselves cannot apply for an H-1B visa to allow themselves to work in the U.S. The number of H-1B visas issued each year is subject to an annual cap (known as H-1B cap) that is determined by the US Congress.
Foreign workers must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. This requirement can usually be met by having a 3-year degree and 3 years of relevant post-graduate experience.
H1b Visas may be extended beyond their initial 3-year term to six years. Contact us for more information.
H-1b visas are freely transferrable and portable – it's actually the law, contact us for transferring yours.
we don't give a nickel's worth of free advice – our lawyers concentrate on commercial visas, like the H1b.
A married H-1B can have his or her spouse also qualify to reside in the USA – call use for more on your case
H-1B Occupations that qualify:
H-1B visas typically require highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to IT, Architecture, Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Scientific Research, Social Science, Biotechnology, HealthCare/Medicine, Education, Law, Accounting, Business, Theology, Arts, Computing, Finance, Accounting, Banking, Marketing, Sales, Recruiting, and Telecommunication.
Aside from the requirement that the position be a specialty occupation, the employer must first file a Labor Condition Application (LCA), Form ETA 9035 or Form ETA 9035E, with the Department of Labor (DOL).
An employer filed LCA attests that the H1B visa worker is being paid the prevailing wage for the work being performed, and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
The initial H-1B visa may be issued for up to three years. It may then be extended in the first instance for up to two years, and later on for one year, for a maximum of 6 consecutive years. In some cases, the H-1B visa can be extended beyond the 6 year limit.
The H1B visa can also "recapture" time spent abroad while in H-1B status. If an alien opts to "recapture" time abroad, then periods of time spent not in the U.S. will NOT count against the 6 year limit of the H1B visa.

"I work with gouache on paper. The work is monochromatic from black to light gray or silver in tonality. Cellular-like structures emanate from atop a thin wash of light gray or silver and build freely in open air when darker cells appear within lighter cells. This lends the work a sculptural space that can appear either positive or negative. I want the viewer to be able to visually penetrate the paper's surface."
"My sculpture stems from my work on paper. I am inspired by the act of nature and time upon natural materials such as stone and wood. I work with marble, slate and plywood slabs. Sometimes the work is pierced through the other side which allows light to filter through. By drilling and grinding out cellular-like structures, I try to create an organic surface that seems naturally transformed."


Lake Kivu is the largest water body in Rwanda and one of Great Lakes that make Africa unique adventure tourism destination in the world. Positioned between the two neighboring countries of Rwanda in the east and Democratic Republic of the Congo in the west, the lake is one of the unique tourism destinations in Rwanda which can offer travelers on Rwanda safaris opportunities to have test of adventurous activities.
Lake Kivu is extremely stunning a vast inland sea surrounded by the steep as well as green terraced hills that are spread all over Rwanda. The wonderful shores of lake Kivu is Center of adventurious activities in Rwanda because its where the three resort towns of Gisenyi, as well as Kibuye and Cyangugu are linked by an interesting wild roller-coaster road that head long through lush green plantations which attract the attention of any travelers who under takes safari tour to Rwanda.
Taking safaris to Rwanda's Lake Kivu will expose the traveler to Gisenyi town which is just a short drive from Ruhgengeri which is also Center of the memorable gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda's Volcanoes national park .Gisenyi town is suited on a sandy beach lined with undulating palms as well as the unique colonial-era hotels that positively discharge an atmosphere that means travelers on Rwanda safari and tours on this part of Rwanda to feel as if they want to sleep. The town is that unique place where world travelers spending their holidays Safari in Rwanda can participate in different sandy beach activities such as swimming, beach football among others.
The two towns of Gisenyi and Kibuye are the prominent places near Lake Kivu where travelers on adventure safaris in Rwanda can head for wonderful creature comforts as well as refreshing water sports activities. Besides the main resorts, Lake Kivu circuits provide visitors a highly rewarding sights and glimpses into traditional Africa fishermen as they go about their daily activities of fishing in the white waters of Lake Kivu.

Indiana Fugitive Found, Arrested More Than 2,000 Miles Away in Washington
News > Local News > Indiana Fugitive Found, Arrested More Than 2,000 Miles Away in Washington
Jamie Adams was caught in Arlington, Washington on Thursday.
Rob Connett
ARLINGTON, Wash. -- A Delaware County man who cut off his ankle monitor and was on the run for two months was captured Thursday by federal marshals -- more than 2,000 miles away from Muncie.
The Star Press says 46-year-old Jamie Adams, the target of a manhunt since October when he escaped from house arrest, was taken into custody in Arlington, Washington, about 50 miles north of Seattle.
As a result, he has been charged with escape, and could spend up to 2 1/2 years in prison.
Adams had been on house arrest as the result of a meth case.
He was previously convicted of murder in 1991 and released from prison in 2015. Adams was 18 when he received a 60-year prison term after he pleaded guilty to murder for the stabbing death of Daniel Barker.

James Corden, the British actor and comedian who was tapped to replace Craig Ferguson as the host of CBS TV's The Late Late Show, has been featuring a segment called Take a Break, in which he takes over the job of a retail store worker for part of his shift to give the worker a break.
Of course the real reason is to give Corden an excuse to engage in some spontaneous fun with customers and other store employees.
Last week, Corden took over the job of a cashier at a Los Angeles kosher market for awhile, resulting in a hilarioius six-minute video of the event.
Corden, decked out in a blue yarmulke and tossing off Yiddish-isms like "kvelling," made himself right at home behind the counter at Western Kosher. Despite it being a Friday afternoon, traditionally a very busy time for kosher outlets (and Corden knew why, instantly making a reference to that evening's "Shabbat dinner"), the "Late Late Show" host kept his cool, even staging an impromptu, klezmer-inspired song and dance with the Western Kosher employee keeping an eye on him.
He also found time to put the store's meat slicer to productive use – Corden put his wife's credit card in the automatic blade's line of fire. But nothing beats watching the comic actor doing doughnuts in a forklift, with his Western Kosher mentor holding on for dear life.
Is the laugh track necessary?

The basic concepts, formulations, and test methods of pressure-sensitive adhesives are presented. The importance of interfacial interactions, viscous loss, and extensibility are stressed. The common rheological tests are described and the equivalence of deformation rate and test temperature is emphasized. The much longer time scale for bond formation versus the rate of deformation upon debonding in peel or tack is exploited by the formulator to optimize properties. The formulation principles and common ingredients for preparing acrylic- and rubber-based adhesives are described, and the performance capabilities of these two types of pressure-sensitive adhesives are contrasted.

Once your are a living image of empowerment inside your team, it's time to take the next step and unleash your employees potential to push through performance goals and raise the bars that lead to success.
But how can I empower my team? Here are some tips you can use!
Tell them why you want them to take initiative and how it can provide benefits such as more efficient problem solving, and out-of-the-box ideas that could stimulate growth.
Give teams the flexibility to make certain decisions without prior approval. Make that a normal part of how you do business and satisfaction will go through the roof.
Recognize calculated risk-taking efforts even if they don't pan out. Make them aware that it's more about how they react to and learn from mistakes than the fact that a mistake was made.
When creative thinking pays off, offer some perks and make sure everyone in the office sees that initiative has its rewards.
Make a commitment to empower your team, you might be surprised by the improvements in productivity this could bring to your business.
The question every person asks themselves during most of their lives. We spend years trying to figure out our purpose in life and I think companies should put the same effort answering that same question.
WHY are we as company here? WHY we're doing what we're doing? Sometimes is so easy to get caught up on the daily tasks (specially on big companies) and start losing the purpose on actions and efforts made, but having the purpose really clear and remembering it every day will help you stay committed to your dream and company and help others get on board too.
-It's inspiring to those inside the company.
-It's something that's as valid 100 years from now as it is today.
-It should help you think expansively about what you could do but aren't doing.
-It should help you decide what not to do.
-It's truly authentic to your company.
1. Why does our organization's existence matters?
2. What are your business strengths?
3. What are the values we want to portray to your audience?
4. Why is your company important to your costumers?
Remember, as Nietzsche said: "He who has a why can endure any how". Having a WHY is the core of everything, is the heart of your company, if you know your purpose very clearly and you can communicate it with your team and audience, it will be worth all the effort and extra hours you and your team are putting in to make your company grow.

En ScreenIT hemos ido a muchos eventos, meetups, pláticas tecnológicas, pero jamás habíamos hecho una, así que ahí estaba nuestra oportunidad. Todas estas reuniones y pláticas normalmente suceden dentro de instalaciones físicas, la mayoría de las veces, empresas. Físicamente sucede todo, ponentes, pizzas, cervezas, amenidades y hasta "souvenirs".
We hear a lot about community meetings, technology talks, and we wanted to do the same.
All these meetings and talks usually take place in some company facilities, all the speakers are there, they have beer and pizza or some kind of amenities or swags.
Where to hire offshore developers?
If you ask me, where to hire offshore developers, my first answer would be Mexico. And it is not because I was born and raised in this magnificent country, but also because I know that Mexico has a wide pool of talented people willing to commit, purpose and grow your company.
Would it be a smart decision to establish a business operation in Mexico?
You may have heard about Mexico and some kind of bad attributes that might be the reason why you postpone or don't even consider a life or the establishment of a business in this Country.
