Philips TAPB603 3.1 Soundbar Review
15 December 2020 aioappz Reviews
The Rs 30k to 40k price point seems to be the sweet spot for a good soundbar when it comes to performance and features. One can expect good connectivity options including 4K and HDR pass-through support, ample connectivity options and a wireless subwoofer. Some soundbars like the Yamaha YAS-209 also offer Alexa support built-in. We have also seen the Sony HT-G700 (review) bring with it a 3.1 channel design and support for Dolby Atmos. Today, we have with us yet another Dolby Atmos capable soundbar, the Philips 3.1 PB603 soundbar. Is it a worthy contender to the Sony, Yamaha and more bars in this price segment? Let's find out.
Philips 3.1 soundbar PB603: What's in the box
In the box, you get the soundbar itself, along with a wireless subwoofer. You also get the remote control in the box, an HDMI cable, an AUX cable and wall mounting brackets. You get 2 sets of power cables, which is nice. The remote control runs on a 3V button cell which is a departure from the AAA batteries we've seen on most soundbar remotes. More on that when we talk about the remote control. Overall, it's nice to see an HDMI and AUX cable in the box. Even though the soundbar has an optical port, it doesn't come with one in the box, and that's ok. We prefer the inclusion of an HDMI cable in the box rather than an optical cable.
Philips 3.1 soundbar PB603: Connectivity options
When it comes to connectivity options, the Philips 3.1 soundbar is quite loaded. At the back of the soundbar, we have the optical port, which comes with a really nice cover, a USB port and a 3.5mm AUX port. We also have 3 HDMI ports – 1 ARC port and two 4K pass-through ports. We have seen soundbars like the JBL SB450 (review) with 3 HDMI pass-through ports with 4K and HDR support (but no support for Dolby Vision). On the other hand, we have a soundbar like the Sony HT-G700 that has one HDMI pass-through port but with support for 4K and HDR including Dolby Vision. So, while it's nice to see the Philips soundbar support 4K pass-through, the lack of HDR is missed. We also have the Yamaha YAS 209 bring with it a single 4K HDR pass-through port.
Setting up the Philips 3.1 soundbar PB603
Setting up the soundbar can be done in less than 5 minutes. The soundbar connects wirelessly to the subwoofer. Just connect the two to a power supply, connect the HDMI cable to the ARC port of your TV and to the HDMI out port on the soundbar and you are good to go. Just remember, that some TVs need you to manually change to ARC output in the sound settings. The soundbar and subwoofer connect wirelessly and there is a light at the back of the subwoofer to show you that it's connected.
Philips 3.1 soundbar PB603 Build and design
A futuristic angular design is the first thing that will come to mind when you see the soundbar for the first time. It has a traditional rectangular form factor as we've seen on so many soundbars, but the soundbar looks like it's leaning forward when you look at it from the side. It also looks like it is dual-layered giving it a unique look. The front and top of the soundbar are covered by a mesh grille and the side has a silver colour. All this gives it an extremely unique look. It's way more angular than the Sony HT-G700 which sported sharp edges and has a more aggressive design when compared to the round edges of the Yamaha YAS 209.
Whether you like the design or not is a completely personal choice. I think it looks futuristic and distinct in a home setup. With the way the upcoming PS5 has a distinct visual style, so does this Philips soundbar. I like the design language and those looking for a soundbar that stands out from the crowd will too. The front of the soundbar also has a display to show you the input, volume, sound setting and more.
What I don't like is the button placement. The physical controls for source, volume and power are on the right side of the soundbar. I would have preferred the controls on top of the soundbar making them easier to each. However, I am happy that they are physical controls and not touch-sensitive ones.
All the ports are conveniently located at the back of the soundbar facing outwards. We have the power port along with the optical, USB and Aux port on one side and a few centimetres away we have the three HDMI ports. As mentioned above, we have one ARC port and the other 2 are pass-through ports. Overall, the soundbar fits well under a 55-inch TV and should work well with a 50 to a 65-inch TV. It has an aggressive stance which gives it a unique design in soundbars.
As aggressive as the design of the soundbar is, one can call the subwoofer equally unassuming. It has a compact form factor and is way slimmer than the one found on the Sony or Yamaha mentioned above. Unlike the Sony which has a glossy outline surrounding the duct, the Philips 3.1 soundbar's subwoofer duct is glossy only with the rest of it sporting a matte finish. One could easily mistake it for the design found on the Blaupunkt soundbar but this one is quite well built. It only has one power port at the back and an LED indicator to signify the connection with the soundbar.
I wish the subwoofer had the connectivity LED light in the front in an unassuming manner like the Sony HT-G700. This way, I wouldn't have to get up and check the back of the sub to know whether it is connected or not. I know the light upfront can get annoying for most, but it's something I prefer at the front of the subwoofer.
Philips 3.1 soundbar PB603 Performance
Before we get into performance, know that even if you connect the soundbar to your TV via HDMI ARC, there are no on-screen controls (on the TV) and you have to rely on the display on the soundbar to get the information. Secondly, even though the soundbar supports Dolby Atmos, don't expect the sound to come from above or behind you. But you can have some good channel separation expectations which we will discuss in the coming segments. The soundbar has a full range driver + tweeter on the left and right with two full-range drivers for the centre channel.
Let's break down the performance of the soundbar into movies, music and gaming performance.
Holy smokes! As unassuming the subwoofer looks, its performance is just the opposite. Watch a movie like Greyhound on Apple TV+ and this subwoofer will smack you with the right kind of rumble when the ships hit the sea or when the bombing attacks start. Same thing for movies on Netflix like The Old Guard or even Extraction. These are movies mastered in Dolby Atmos and even though the surround sound is absent from the soundbar, it has good channel separation. Even the dialogues on these movies are a lot clearer than what we've heard on the Yamaha YAS 209. The Philips 3.1 soundbar packs in 320W of sound output and while that's 80 less than the 400W found on the Sony HT-G700, it can get pretty loud and room-filling for the average-sized living room. To enjoy an action-packed thriller, one does not need to even reach the 80% volume of the soundbar. The soundbar has a volume range from 0 to 32 and for me, the sweet spot was between 13 and 19 based on the content.
Even dialogues for TV shows like Young Sheldon or Big Bang Theory or even documentaries are clean, clear and audible.
The soundbar has only 3 presets – News, Movies and Music along with a surround on and surround off. For each situation, the representing preset works nicely. If you like watching documentaries that don't have much dramatic background music, then you can also consider the News preset as this one reduced the bass considerably.
Even in a movie like Mission Impossible which has Tom Cruise swishing across the screen on a motorcycle, the channel separation from left to right was really good. Even the dialogues spoken during action sequences are extremely clear.
Be it 5.1 content from streaming services or Dolby Atmos, the output is punchy and clean in the Movie preset. For some, the bass may be too ever-present and in some cases overpowering, but that's controllable on the soundbar. You can control the bass and treble settings on the soundbar.
Sitting 6 to 8 feet away from the soundbar, one can get an immersive experience. For me, the best channel separation and surround sound effect has come from the Bose Soundbar 700 (review). It gives you the illusion of sound actually coming from the left and the right. But then again, that soundbar is priced at a whopping 80K. The channel separation on the Philips 3.1 is almost at par with what we experienced on the Sony and that's not a bad thing. Just don't expect to be engulfed in surround sound. However, when the soundbar is at 60% or higher volume, you will get a good experience from the sound hitting you from below your TV.
Overall, for a movie watching the Philips 3.1 is a great experience provided you don't expect to hear the plane flying above you.
Music doesn't need to have an ever-present bass or lows. It needs to strike you like a secret weapon, only making its presence felt when needed. Unless you enjoy songs like Dance Monkey by Tones and I, or Wicked Games the Parra for Cuva feat. Anna Naklab version or even some Daft Punk. In that case, the Music preset of the Philips 3.1 soundbar does fine. The vocals are punchy, instruments clear and the audio doesn't crackle at high volumes.
Whether you like listening to classical music, rock or even some pop, this soundbar does a good job. However, in my opinion, the music performance in terms of clarity and definition was a little better on the Yamaha YAS 209. If one had to compare, I would say the Yamaha does a much better job for music while the Philips has an edge for movies. The bass in music on the Philips is slightly more overpowering than I'd like.
For gaming, we played Marvel Spider-Man, The Last of Us Part II (review), Ghost of Tsushima (review), God of War and Doom (review). Channel separation works well in all the games, especially when playing Spider-Man. You can hear the city pass you when swinging with chatter from the street clearly audible. Even the rushing of the wind when swinging is clear and adds to the immersion when gaming. Once again, don't expect to hear the enemies from behind you but the overall gaming experience is immersive.
Doom's is another game with a heavy metal soundtrack and the sound mixing in that game deserves special mention. With a punchy background score, unique sound effect for every weapon and the roars of demons, the game sounds quite good on this soundbar.
While the sound output from the soundbar is good I do miss the good old 'Auto' button on the remote control that changes the sound preset based on the content you are consuming. While you do get the display on the soundbar to prompt you every time the source changes from Dolby Atmos to Dolby HD or even PCM, there is no auto mode to change the sound presets based on the content being consumed.
The display on the soundbar has three levels of dimming, so that's good and handy for those that want the least distraction while consuming content in a pitch-dark room.
So, what's missing from the Philips 3.1 soundbar? Well, for one thing, I wish there was an app that could be used to control the soundbar. I find it very handy that I can control the settings of the Yamaha YAS 209 from the comfort of my phone which is always closer to me than the remote control. Once you connect the soundbar to the TV via ARC, you can control the volume using the TV remote control. But since the presets and soundbar controls need its dedicated remote control, you will have to keep it handy.
Speaking of the remote control, the bundled remote control with the is quite well built and better than the one you get with the YAS 209. It runs on a button cell rather than AAA batteries so you may want to keep one in spare, just in case.
The remote control that comes with the Philips 3.1 soundbar has a traditional rectangular design but has a rubbery finish which adds to the grip. The rubber material is prone to scratches and dust.
All the buttons are neatly laid out in two rows. On the remote control, you have the options for source, EQ – to switch between the sound presets, Dolby button to engage surround sound, buttons to control the treble and bass and dedicated playback controls along with volume controls. There is no "night mode" in the soundbar so if you want to watch a movie, you'll have to keep the volume down or resort to headphones.
So, here's the ever-important question. Should you spend 31K on the Philips 3.1 soundbar? What the Philips 3.1 soundbar has going for it is great sound output for movies, music and games. It has a unique design as well. It has two HDMI pass-through ports, but they don't support HDR passthrough and that may be a downer for some. It has a simple and easy to use remote control. What it misses out on is some form of app support, internet connectivity and should have had some more settings in the form of a night mode, game mode, stereo and more. It can decode Dolby Atmos but don't expect the sound to engulf you from all sides. If you have a budget of 30K, then you can consider this soundbar. It competes with the Yamaha YAS 209, JBL Bar 3.1 and the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini which are all similarly priced. The Sony HT G700 is more expensive by about 10K.

Innovative young brains at a Derbyshire school have come up with a table top idea to make money, as part of the team's entry in the Young Enterprise competition, the UK's largest business and enterprise education charity.
Year 12 students at Ockbrook School have been putting their selling skills to the test, making an impressive £90 profit for their company Illuminate, which offers a unique and eco-friendly take on party favours. The team has now made it through to the Derbyshire Area Final to be held on 27th March 2014.
The company's personalised placemats and coasters have proved a huge success with fantastic sales at the Young Enterprise market in Derby's Westfield Shopping Centre. Products have also been presented at a variety of school events, with 12 flying off the shelf in the first five minutes of Ockbrook School's winter fair.
Illuminate have learned about the sales and marketing skills needed to run a winning business. The students have promoted the company's products on social networking sites and secured a t-shirt sponsorship deal with Ilkeston based manufacturers, Motifs.
Young Enterprise, the national education charity started in 1963, aims to forge links between schools and industry, every year helping 250,000 young people learn about business.
Illuminate is looking to expand the distribution of its innovative creations by marketing its products to local shops and businesses.

What are the best flooring options for investment properties?
This Tile Wizards guide will help you to select appropriate, long-lasting floors for your rental spaces, while remaining dollar savvy.
Flooring an investment property can be a challenge. It can be tempting to try to save money where you can, but investing in quality floors can increase your rental yield, and ultimately save you money on maintenance and repairs. As a rule of thumb, stick with low impact colours and patterns in rental properties. You might love that lime green carpet, but your selection should be about making your property attractive to a range of potential tenants.
So what are your options when it comes to flooring?
Tiles are highly durable and easy to maintain, making them ideal for rental properties. This option is great for kitchens and bathrooms, as they are both high traffic areas that carry a risk of spillage and moisture. This flooring option ranges in price and can suit just about any budget.
Our suggestion is to keep to a neutral colour palette but to go with interesting tile shapes and patterns when laying them – hexagon tiles or subway tiles in a herringbone pattern, for example, will make the room pop while still appealing to most people.
Carpet is a great insulator, and is ideal for soundproofing high traffic areas, particularly in apartments. This is a great option for bedrooms and entries to reduce sound travelling and echo. However, in rental properties, it is advisable to keep carpets away from living and eating spaces where it can become stained and damaged. Carpet also has a shorter lifespan and may require expensive cleaning and eventual replacement.
Timber floors are highly sought after by renters, as an attractive, easy to care for an option that suits most furniture. While expensive to purchase and lay, timber floors are hardwearing and add a lot of value to an investment property. An alternative to actual timber is timber look, with laminate and vinyl floorings delivering the impact of timber for a fraction of the cost. This is a great option for your living space and halls.
It can be difficult to balance price and quality when outfitting your investment property. At Tile Wizards, we pride ourselves on a large selection of tile, carpet and timber options in a range of prices. Visit us in store to speak to one of our friendly experts on the best option for you.
You can find Tile Wizards stores around Brisbane (Brendale, Capalaba, Springwood), Sunshine Coast (Bokarina), Adelaide (Lonsdale, Para Hills West, Richmond), and Coffs Harbour.

Fisheries experts have worried that trucking salmon around their home rivers breeds out the instinct that draws fish back to the right place to spawn – an instinct that defines the species.
"Are hatcheries supposed to be helping fish recover over time or just pumping out fish for fishermen to catch?" asked Rachel Barnett-Johnson, a fisheries biologist at the UC Santa Cruz Institute of Marine Sciences. "That's where the struggle lies in managing them now."
Barnett-Johnson published a study this month that found 90 percent of the salmon caught in California's ocean fishery are hatchery-raised, and only 10 percent are wild spawners. She analyzed growth patterns in fish ear bones, which look like tree rings.
Her results, based on a limited sample of fewer than 200 chinook, alarmed fisheries experts. Many assumed, again based on limited information, that wild salmon still make up 50 percent or more of the state's chinook population.
Cause unclear
The fall-run chinook population is expected to hit a record low this year for reasons that remain unclear. Commercial and recreational ocean fishing have been closed for the first time in history, and river fishing is likely to be closed next month.
"We felt it was worth using some fish in this trucking experiment to see whether those fish might return at a higher rate than the fish we release on-site," said Alex Pitts, spokeswoman at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs Coleman National Hatchery near Redding. "There was interest in us trucking the entire production, but we didn't think that was a good idea."
The bulk of its 12.6 million chinook will still be released in the Sacramento River this year. That's because they begin life much farther from the ocean, so the risk of "straying" to other rivers as they return to spawn is greater, Pitts said.
Research has shown that trucking hatchery salmon doubles or triples their odds of reaching the ocean by avoiding threats along the way, said Alice Low, an environmental scientist at the state Department of Fish and Game.
To further improve the odds this year, all trucked salmon will be dumped first into net pens suspended in San Pablo Bay, where they will be protected from predators while adjusting to the shock of the Bay's warmer, saltier waters. After two to three hours, the salmon are freed.
"We do want to maximize the benefit to ocean fisheries and other fisheries," said Low. "Personally, I'm convinced that trucking isn't that bad of a practice."
She cited research that found fewer than 10 percent of Feather River hatchery salmon strayed to other locations.
Wild vs. hatchery-bred
Wild salmon are known to survive better in the wild and produce more young. But inbreeding with hatchery fish could weaken these traits. It could also dull the wild salmon's ability to find its way home.
Hatchery fish may also compete for food and habitat with wild salmon and disrupt wild breeding. Their abundance could also hide the possibility that truly wild fall-run chinook have become endangered.
For all these reasons, a joint state-federal commission in 2001 said state hatcheries should "consider" ending the trucking of fall-run salmon.
"The evidence seems pretty strong now that it's basically a hatchery-supported run," said John Williams, an environmental hydrologist at UC Davis who published a comprehensive scientific review of Central Valley salmon and steelhead in 2006. "We're in a deeper hole than we can get out of just by producing a few more hatchery fish."
To gather more information, 25 percent of all salmon produced by the state and federal hatcheries this year – about 8 million fish – are being tagged with a coded wire implanted in their noses. Their adipose fin – between the dorsal fin and tail – is also clipped off as a visual identifier.
The marking occurs in specialized trailers bought by the state last year for $1.1 million each.
On Thursday, 3-inch salmon smolts by the thousands were pumped through pipes and hoses into one of the trailers parked at the state's Nimbus Fish Hatchery on the American River. Cameras and computers sort the salmon by size into rubberized clamps that gently hold each fish just so.
In the blink of an eye, a cutter snips off the adipose fin, and a needle emerges like a dart to stab a coded wire into the salmon's nose. Then the fish is sucked away to await its truck ride.
The missing adipose fin tells a fisherman his catch was born in a hatchery. Anglers are urged to cut off the salmon's head and send it to a lab, where the wire tag is dissected and analyzed.
Each wire tag, only 1.1 millimeters long, is laser-engraved with tiny numbers. When read under a microscope, the numbers tell where the fish was bred. The state aims to recover as many as 50,000 tags per year to learn how many hatchery fish survived and where they ended up.
Eventually, this may also help biologists decide whether hatcheries make sense at all.
"We really need to know if we're doing the right thing," said Low.

Marie Lawson was overpaid £11,169 over a two-year period between May 2014 and March 2016.
Lawson claimed employment support allowance for herself and her husband from October 2013.
The benefits were paid out on the condition that she did not work more than 16 hours per week.
Lawson, however, did not tell the Department for Work and Pensions when she started regularly working beyond that limit.
Lawson admitted failing to notify the authorities of a change in circumstances affecting benefits.
She has already repaid almost £5,700 to the government.
She told investigators she was offered more hours and was concerned she would be sacked if she did not take them.
For a woman who has lived a law-abiding life this is a very difficult process.
"The circumstances leading up to the offence are a combination of events beyond her control.
Judge Peter Armstrong told Lawson, "I have to sentence you for benefit fraud which went on over a period of about two years.
"I think you'd simply got used to the money. You were obviously well thought of by your employer who wanted you to work even more. You were tempted to do that and did so.
"When you were challenged about these matters you made full admissions. You pleaded guilty at the very first opportunity. You have no previous convictions.
Lawson received a one-year community order with 100 hours' unpaid work.


"It's an excellent customer service tool as we can advise delivery times accurately. We have increased turnover by more than €500,000 per year and have been using the system for six years."
Grange Builders Providers is the leading supplier to the building trade in north County Dublin and beyond. Its fleet of trucks and vans do nationwide deliveries providing a same day service not matched by many. From a standing start in August 2003, Peter Cosgrave has built an impressive business based around value for money and quality service with attention to detail. Grange Builders Providers employ over 60 people and operate a fleet of 31 trucks and vans.
As the business grew, it became harder to manage, and the fact Grange offer a same day delivery it was imperative that vehicle use was optimised and arrival times were accurate. Fuel costs were high and overtime was a concern.
Having all the vehicles displayed in near real-time on a screen with fleet tracking Live Fleet at the dispatch counter has helped increase productivity and reaction times. Loads can be made ready for instant pick up as they can see when the vehicles are returning to the yard. The idling alert has helped reduce fuel costs and now that the turnaround time is faster, overtime has been reduced. Communication costs are also down.

Somewhere in France there lies buried a small bronze statuette of an owl in flight.
Whoever finds it is promised not just the prize of the original sculpture made of gold and silver, but the kudos of having won the world's longest-running treasure-hunt.
Sur La Trace de La Chouette d'Or (The Hunt for The Golden Owl) was an illustrated book first published in 1993, shortly after its author Max Valentin had secretly hidden the owl sculpture at a location in mainland France known only to himself.
At the time there was a vogue for such armchair treasure hunts inspired by the UK's best-selling Masquerade, in which artist Kit Williams laid out a series of complex visual clues for finding a golden hare.
But while all the other riddles, including Masquerade, were eventually solved, the French owl is still out there. And, amazingly, people are still looking.
A quarter of a century on, thousands of so-called chouetteurs continue to pore over the book's 11 enigmas, which can be downloaded free over the internet. They exchange theories in chat forums and meet at annual get-togethers.
There is even an association set up to defend their interests in court.
"I have been looking since August 1993," says Pierre Blouch, a founding member of the A2CO association.
Like many fellow owlers, Mr Blouch has had his pet theories, and at one point could be seen digging up various spots around the city of Bourges.
A retired engineer, he now spends his time sifting through the online literature and hoping for new inspiration.
Deciphering the clues appears to require a combination of scientific knowledge, imagination and a head for codes.
The 11 enigmas are supposed to lead to a town in France, and then there is a hidden 12th enigma made up of left-over bits of the 11 that pinpoints the exact spot.
With the internet, ideas have been pooled and there is now general agreement over the primary interpretation of several of the puzzles.
It is known for example that the first riddle sets out an order for the subsequent ones, based on the wavelength of colours.
But the web has not been entirely beneficial.
"The point is that when he designed the puzzles, Valentin only had reference books. The internet drowns us in information that he himself did not have access to," says Pierre Blouch.
Valentin is a revered figure among the chouetteurs. For several years he ran a chatline on France's pre-internet service Minitel, in which he answered questions from hunters.
All these answers have now been compiled like the sayings of a prophet. They are known in the jargon as madits, or "he-told-mes", and form a key part of the online database.
Will the owl ever be found?
Alas Valentin himself is no longer alive to help. He died nine years ago, leaving his secret inside a sealed envelope which is now in the possession of his family.
The other key figure in the story is artist Michel Becker, who drew the book's illustrations and sculpted the owl.
The buried bird is actually a replica of the real one, which is made of gold and silver.
This authentic owl is currently in Michel Becker's possession and four years ago he caused uproar among chouetteurs when he tried to sell it. The courts blocked the sale on the grounds that technically the treasure belonged to the future winner.
The artist played a key role in creating the book but he himself never knew the whereabouts of the owl, which means there is now no-one alive who does.
Some fear that the treasure will never be found – that the spot has been built over or that the clues are just too fiendish to be solved, or even that it was all a hoax from the start.
But true chouetteurs draw inspiration from the great Valentin himself.


Soil quality is an account of the soil's ability to provide ecosystem services by performing a range of functions under changing conditions (Tóth et al., 2007).
The term soil functions refers to soil based ecosystem services: an overarching concept referring to one (out of five, following Schulte et al., 2014) elemental aspect of the soil system that contributes to the generation of goods and services ( LANDMARK GLOSSARY).
All soils perform these functions simultaneously, but both the extent and the relative composition of this functionality depends upon pedological, physical, chemical and biological soil properties.
If you want to learn more consult our LANDMARK GLOSSARY.
Functional Land Management is a conceptual framework for optimising the supply of soil-based ecosystem services, grouped together in these five overarching soil functions, to the demands at a range of spatial scales, with a view to simultaneously meeting agronomic and environmental policy objectives (Schulte et al., 2014; O'Sullivan et al., 2015).
Analogous to the expression Genotype x Environment x Management (G x E x M) approach commonly applied in the field of crop production, soil functionality depends on soil type "S" (i.e. diagnostic features – intrinsic and dynamic ones), environment "E" (climate, weather, slope, land use, etc. ) and soil management "M" acknowledging that soil functions are never uniquely determined by just one of these three factors.


HSBC has led the first corporate Islamic bond using a true sukuk ijara structure in Malaysia. The bank issued the deal on behalf of Ingress Corporation, an automotive company that makes door parts and panels for Malaysian car companies such as Perodua and Proton, as well as for the regional Asean automotive industry, notably Toyota and Honda in Thailand.
The deal is M$160mn (US$42mn) in size and while small, it is interesting for its pure ijara structuring. Under the terms of the deal, Ingress has set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which has bought some assets, plants and machinery from the parent. This SPV then leases those assets back to Ingress. The SPV then issues the sukuk based on the assets and the lease payments.
In previous Malaysian deals, only the actual lease payments have been used to issue the sukuk. In this structure, the assets are actually beneficially owned by the holders of the sukuk, making it compliant with global shariah standards. It is the same structure HSBC used with the sovereign sukuk it did for the government of Malaysia back in 2002 and this is the first time it has managed to replicate that feat in a corporate environment.
The sukuk is divided into three tranches: a M$60mn, five-year tranche with a 6.45% coupon; a M$50mn, six year tranche with a coupon of 7%; and a M$50mn seven-year tranche with a coupon of 7.6%.
Demand for the deal came in a 1.56 times and it closed at the end of June. The sukuk was rated A- by MARC, the local rating agency, and HSBC had sole books. About 50% of the transaction went to financial institutions, 40% to insurance companies and pension funds and 10% to local corporates.
In a bid to encourage market growth the Malaysian government said in its 2002/03 budget that the cost and expenses of these kinds of Islamic transactions would be tax deductible for the companies that issue them. Thus HSBC's fees for doing the deal can be written off against Ingress's tax bill, which must be useful to know when entering into fee negotiations.

Q: Use C++ possibilities in C It might be a silly question, but I'm interested in it very much. Is it possible to implement operator new, dynamically expanding arrays, classes in pure C?
Any links or code examples will be appreciated.

A: *

*new: #define new(type) malloc(sizeof(type)) (have to call it using function syntax, like struct stat *st = new(struct stat))

*dynamically expanding arrays: realloc plus some custom array-manipulation functions (like push_back, etc.) - this is commonly implemented by third-party C utility libraries (and, as @Mgetz points out, some compilers have built-in extensions for it)

*classes: structs with function pointer members (this is very common in several projects, such as the Linux kernel)

You might want to look at GObject, which is a C library providing some object-oriented features to C.  Also see the dozens of hits you get for googling "Object-Oriented C".

A: A quick google search revealed this:
http://ooc-coding.sourceforge.net/
Haven't read it through but it sounds like what you're after.
Yes, it is possible (common?) to implement object orientedness in C - or at least the bits that are especially needed.
An example is a once created a garbage collector by storing the pointers to malloced memory and the free function in linked lists.
The best thing about C is that it just works and there is almost zero overhead. The more work a language does for you automatically can mean there is a lot more overhead - though this is not always the case.

A: It depends if it is OK for you to reimplement the compiler.
If it's ok - you can do whatever you wish, otherwise:
new - as an operator - no, but you can define a function + macros that will simulate it.
classes - yep, you can. you may simulate it pretty closely with static functions and an array of pointers to functions. But there will be no overloading.
expanding arrays - yes, with the classes simulation above.

Oh so beautiful Lesley, a reminder, a lovely metaphor, of who we are also.
Thank you, Teddy. Yes, we are so fortunate to have these reminders all around us, when we're willing to listen.
So touched by your inspiring words this morning as I reflect upon their beauty and the beauty of the concepts they represent. Many thanks for these treasured gifts that always seem to come at just the right time. Much love to you.
Thank you, Stephani, for your kind comment, and the reminder that we receive all that we need at exactly the right time.
How could I be so lucky? To have such a pearl dropped into my inbox this morning, to share its vision, its vast perspective of all souls, each larger than the cosmos…how could I be so fortunate?!
Rudy, my gardener friend, your good fortune is due to your beautiful devotion that all can see. Thank you!
Thank you Lesley, such a beautiful reminder to appreciate the beauty of soul in all things, and the sheer awesomeness of our destiny as souls. Thank you!


Thank you for thinking about sending a sample to bigpinots.
Bigpinots' focus is the relationship between the wine industry and technology, so it's rare that I write blog posts about individual wines. But, if you have an angle about your wine AND tech, then I'm all ears.
I'm much more open in the topics I tweet about and will happily talk about individual wines on Twitter.
no samples will be returned (especially if they are liquid samples!).

Your diet can greatly affect your body's healing power and overall health. That's why we recommend that patients in our OsteoArthritis treatment program eat certain foods that can aid in the healing process and reduce swelling. Swelling is a major component of OsteoArthritis, causing discomfort in the knees. Stiffness is another common complaint among our OsteoArthritis patients, so rather than loading up on over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, here are a few foods you can add to your diet to make sure you're giving your body the best fighting chance against OA.
From salmon to sardines, fish are full of omega-3 fatty acids. Along with their natural ability to lower blood pressure and help other health issues, they can reduce stiffness in joints, making it easier for you to participate in your OsteoArthritis program. Make yourself a pescatarian (fish as the main course) dinner 3 times a week to up your omega-3 fatty acids and enjoy more relief.
Much like fish, nuts also contain omega-3 fatty acids. These can be added to meals or snacked on throughout the day. Almonds are a great choice and also a good replacement for other processed, unhealthy snacks. Full of antioxidants, nuts can help your body naturally repair and fight damage caused by OsteoArthritis.
Next time you stick a chicken breast in the oven or cook a pork chop on the stove top, add some olive oil to the mix. Substituting vegetable oil with olive oil can help reduce inflammation in your joints and it is heart healthy, too. There are quite a few healthy and delicious recipes for salad dressings using olive oil as well. Give up the ranch and Italian dressings for the healthier, oil based alternative.
We recommend that each of our OsteoArthritis patients consider their diet when beginning our treatment program. The best thing you can do for your body is fuel it with healthy foods that will promote healing and get you back on your feet.
If you are suffering from OsteoArthritis and don't want to resort to painful surgery with long recovery times, visit us at Arrowhead Health Centers to learn more about our OsteoArthritis treatment in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale and Surprise/Sun City. Together, we can have you back to normal activity, enjoying the active lifestyle you are meant to live.

Q: 16.04 and 17.04 Unity 8 black screen I've been attempting to try out Unity 8 on both 16.04 and now 17.04 with no success.

I'm fairly new to ubuntu so be gentle...
I suspect this is down to my graphics card & drivers ?
I am on a laptop with an AMD R7 M360 (Also with intel integrated) and have to use the default drivers.
When looking for amd-pro drivers it seems there are not any for my exact card model (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux).
I've seen mentioned that open source drivers have problems with Unity 8/Mir and so am wondering if the lack of amd-pro drivers for my card could be causing this unity 8 failure for me ?
Anything else I can try ?
Thanks
EDIT:
If I run lspci -k  to see what comes up, I get 2 entries for my video:

I'm confused as to which graphics card/system is being used by ubuntu. Ideally I'd like to just be using the AMD one, so is there a way of disabling one ? I could try disabling one or the other and see if Unity 8 works with either the Intel or AMD card only ?

Twitter is also doing a better job diversifying its revenue base. Data licensing and other revenue (essentially its enterprise business) had first quarter revenue of $90 million, up 20 percent from a year ago.
Will Twitter's data licensing business be hurt by privacy concerns and regulation such as GDPR?
Our data business is something we continue to feel really good about. We are different from our peers in that Twitter is public. We serve the public conversations, so all of our data is out in the public, out in the open. And our data business just organizes that public data in real-time to make it easier for brands, researchers and organizations to utilize it.
And it's useful just to go over some examples of how people use the data business to add some color here. We do a lot of sentiment analysis for brands for them to figure out how people feel about their products or services.
We see a lot of citizen services being used. A good example of this is Virginia. Their Department of Emergency provides citizens info -- citizen info for the residents. And also research, we see a lot of research. A good example of this is Northeastern who developed a flu tracking technique. We do not provide any personal identifiable information that's not already visible on the service.
Twitter is also becoming more efficient with its monetization.
As for the outlook, Twitter said it expects adjusted EBITDA to be between $245 million and $265 million for the second quarter. For 2018, Twitter is projecting capital expenses to be between $375 million and $450 million.
Monthly active users for Twitter were up 3 percent overall, but down 1 percent in the U.S. Twitter is seeing gains internationally. Daily active users were up 10 percent in the first quarter. That growth rate was sequentially lower from the 12 percent in the fourth quarter.

Opening this month on Alexandria's Mediterranean waterfront, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina reflects the spirit of its ancient forebear
Bruce Watson
The Egyptian sun casts fiery diamonds on the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea and silhouettes ancient minarets and modern apartment buildings alike in red. But it is on another sun—nearly 500 feet in diameter and made of glass and aluminum—that many have hung their hopes for a return to a former glory of Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city. After two decades of planning and construction, Bibliotheca Alexandrina now stands on Alexandria's waterfront just 130 feet from the sea. This new library, meant to be an architectural signature like Australia's Sydney Opera House and Spain's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, opens to the public April 23, 2002.
Though it possesses only about 500,000 books, it is drawing worldwide attention, both for its bold architecture and for its proximity to the site of the most famous library of the ancient world. More than 2,000 years ago Alexandria boasted the world's first and greatest public library, whose aim was to contain a copy of every book ever written in Greek. It was created by rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty, descended from a Greek general who inherited part of Alexander the Great's empire. Under the Ptolemies, Alexandria attracted the intellectual elite of ancient times.
One day, or perhaps over centuries—no one knows for sure—the great library and its half million scrolls (the form in which books were written in Greek and Roman times) disappeared. Although the old library's fate is still mourned and debated, some discourage comparisons between old and new. "We are not reviving an ancient library," says Mohsen Zahran, Bibliotheca Alexandrina's former project manager and now its senior adviser. "We are reviving the idea of the pursuit of knowledge that thrived in the ancient library. The old library encouraged the public to debate, create and invent. The new library is carrying that legacy forward."
But will scholars come here now just because they once did? Can Egypt, a poor country by any standard, maintain a library worthy of one that housed the wisdom of ancient Greece? And, trickiest of all, can the bibliotheca succeed, given the geopolitical fissures in the region?
"We must remember that the ancient library took hundreds of years to prove itself," Zahran says. "We can't expect Bibliotheca Alexandrina to acquire the same importance right away. That's why an eternal design, not one ancient or modern, was chosen. So long as the sun remains circular, the library will be in fashion."

Key Arizona Races Could Mean Big Wins for U.S.
May 14, 2014 by Guest Opinion Leave a Comment
By Joanne Moudy
As everyone knows, November 2014 will be a crucial election if Republicans hope to gain ground against Obamacare, amnesty and the skyrocketing debt. Quite frankly, if the GOP doesn't rally in tremendous strength, this country may never recover and our grandchildren will be asking why we led them blindly down the path to the slaughterhouse.
This means that every state is critical and every seat is a must win. There are no U.S. House or Senate seats which are unimportant or inconsequential. Every single one matters.
Arizona is no exception. Currently the state enjoys the luxury of four conservative congressmen; Trent Franks, Matt Salmon, David Schweikert, and Paul Gosar, and in all likelihood, they will all be returning to Congress in November, which suits their districts just fine.
But there remain three additional U.S. House seats which could easily be gained out of the nine total in Arizona. And wouldn't it be nice if solid Republicans picked these seats up? Nice indeed, because it would completely change the complexion of the current liberal leaning envoy from the 5-4 (D/R) to 7-2 (R/D). But the time is now or never, because even moderate, independent voters are mad about Obamacare, illegal immigration, and bad federal economic decisions, all of which are destroying this state.
On the liberal Democrat side, Reps. Krysten Sinema, Ann Kirkpatrick, and Ron Barber have experienced declining popularity because of their unwavering support of Obamacare, amnesty, and proposed Medicare cuts. At one point, Sinema knew she was in so much trouble she seriously considered switching districts to run in D-7, the heavily populated democratic region, which Ed Pastor is vacating. That would have been a much safer run for her, especially given the angst of voters over her open support of Obama's liberal agenda.
What's refreshing to see are three, relatively new faces entering the arena to fill these slots and all appear to be strong contenders working relentlessly to gain enlightened voter support across the state. Meet Andrew Walter, Adam Kwasman, and Chuck Wooten, all of whom bring unique talents to the fray and have excellent chances of success.
Although Andrew Walter isn't known as a seasoned politician, he does have a familiar face around the state and country, and he'll need it in the general race against liberal incumbent Sinema. His only opponent in the primary is Wendy Rogers, who's run twice and lost twice. Many voters in the district are looking for a fresh candidate with a can-do attitude and believe that Walter is the person to do it.
Walter first earned his local reputation as ASU's star quarterback and later as a 2005 draft pick for the Oakland Raiders, followed by the New England Patriots. After his football career he earned his MBA and worked in the banking industry, which gives him an in-depth business perspective on the state of our economy.
Aside from her radically liberal voting record, Sinema is a pathetic excuse for a member of congress and recently stepped in it, by taking advantage of the horrific death of 40 veterans. Sinema was quick to send out an email expressing her disappointment at the VA in one sentence, while she asked for campaign contributions in the next. When she was called out by Walter, she wasted no time in blaming a staffer. Really? How unusual for a liberal member of congress to feign ignorance, and blame someone else.
As Walter exclaimed, "Exactly how low can a person go? This is the ugliest display of political opportunism I've witnessed in a very long time. Not only should she accept responsibility and apologize to the entire district, she should also refund all the money, and make a donation to a veterans association – equal to the amount donated due to that email."
Walter sees three top issues as his priorities. "One, we must unleash the American economy to create jobs by restoring basic free market principals. Two, we must repeal and replace Obamacare because nothing else will suffice, and three, we must, absolutely – not consider amnesty." One more point worth mentioning, is that Walter does not see himself as a career politician. "I've signed a pledge to author an Amendment that limits the terms of members of congress. I want to help the 2014 Congress gear up and turn this country around, so that regular folks can get back to living the American dream."
Adam Kwasman is a rising star in the largest geographical district in Arizona, and has the credentials to back up his claims of fiscal conservatism. After earning his B.A. (Cum Laude) from Tulane University, he went on to earn his M.A. in Economics from George Mason University. Before entering the Arizona state House of Representatives, his fight for constitutional liberty began when he worked at the Cato Institute in Constitutional Studies.
Kwasman's doesn't mince words. "I'm a Hayekian economist. Either we cut government spending, secure the borders without exception, repeal Obamacare and get the EPA out of our lives, or we lose this country."
The incumbent, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, has the opposite view and works tirelessly promote the liberal agenda of amnesty, Obamacare and an increased EPA.
In District 1, two hot topics are the Navajo Generating Station and the Kayenta Mine which create over 1,100 jobs, mostly for Native Americans. The EPA wants to shut them down and/or levy heavy fines which would put them out of business. Instead of standing strong for the NGS, Kirkpatrick seems more interested in clean air than crucial jobs.
Kwasman doesn't agree and wants the EPA brought under control. "They are about to shut down the Navajo Generating Station, which is completely unacceptable. The EPA is working against the people of the state of Arizona and must be stopped."
And finally, down in the far southeastern corner of the state comes Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.) Chuck Wooten. Prior to retiring from the USAF, he held the prestigious position of 19th Air Force Command Chief, overseeing the training, morale, and welfare of 14 unit locations and 17,000 subordinate troops. After retirement, he became the V.P. of Federal Business Development for SoxedoUSA, a 20 billion/year global corporation. Today he is the founder/owner of Corona Consulting Corporation and works extensively with contractors engaged in acquisition support directed at the U.S. Government, NATO, and other cabinet-level federal agencies.
When asked why he decided to take on Barber to represent the folks in District 2, Wooten said, "I looked around at the other GOP candidates and didn't see anyone viable. We've got Shelley Kais who's background is in education and personal training, and Martha McSally who lost twice in this same race." According to votesmart, McSally refuses to disclose her positions on key issues, making her positions suspect to voters.
"I commend her military service," says Wooten. "But if she isn't willing to tell voters where she stands on key issues, how can they make an educated decision at the polls?" According to public records, her mentor and primary financial backer is Senator Jon Kyl. "I don't like how Kyl voted, and if he's her mentor, I'm concerned she'll ignore the root problems and just be another mouthpiece for the RINO contingency."
"For me, I'm not afraid to say I love God, our constitution and our Judeo-Christian heritage. I'm not afraid to tell voters that we must secure and close the borders – which is a separate and distinct issue from amnesty. We must enforce immigration laws, completely repeal Obamacare, eliminate burdensome government agencies like the EPA, protect our military, and defend life."
"Let's face it, we're in a war in America," Wooten says. "A war of principals and convictions we cannot avoid. The time is now and either we turn back Obamacare and the economy, and reverse the damage that's been caused by the liberal agenda, or we accept defeat and allow ourselves to become slaves to socialism."
These races in Arizona aren't unique. Take a look around your own community and state – and get involved – today. There's no time to waste, because come November, if you haven't gotten involved and helped candidates just like these, we may all be staring down the barrel of ruin. It is an absolute guarantee that if Arizona turns blue, Texas will be next, and then all will be lost.
My money's on Andrew, Adam and Chuck – our next best hope for a return to a constitutional America.

Adam Kwasman, Ann Kirkpatrick Tied in Congressional Race
Incumbent dangerously below 50%
Oro Valley – State Representative and congressional candidate Adam Kwasman commissioned McLaughlin and Associates to survey likely general election voters in Arizona's First Congressional District. A summary of the results can be seen below.
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: John McLaughlin and Rob Schmidt
RE: Arizona CD 1 Survey – Key Findings
Date: December 12, 2013_____________________________________________________________________
1. State Representative Adam Kwasman is statistically tied with the incumbent, Ann Kirkpatrick, who is dangerously far from the margin needed for re-election.
Among those most likely to vote, 42% preferred Kwasman and 41% selected Kirkpatrick. Overall, 42.7% of all likely voters chose Kirkpatrick to 40% who preferred Kwasman, a statistical tie, with eleven months remaining in the election. 42.7% is a dangerously low level of support for any incumbent.
2. Kwasman has nearly unlimited room to grow; Kirkpatrick, with 92.7% name identification, is unlikely to increase her numbers.
Kirkpatrick is nearly universally known after her three races for Congress. Notably, she has fallen far from the 48% share of the vote she won in 2012. Kwasman is known by only 23.7% of the voters.
3. Kirkpatrick's core support is anemic
After three elections for Congress, only 23.7% of the voters will definitely support Kirkpatrick.
4. Voters overwhelmingly prefer a Republican check on the president to a Democrat who will hand the president a blank check.
By a margin of 53.3% to 37.7%, voters selected a Republican member of Congress who would serve as "a check and balance to President Obama" versus a "Democrat who will help President Obama pass his agenda." This is unsurprising, in light of the President's 40.7% – 56.7% job approval/disapproval rating. Kirkpatrick, who famously said that she would not second guess this President, has positioned herself sharply at odds with her constituents.
Ann Kirkpatrick is in greater jeopardy of losing her seat than previously thought. Though nearly universally known, her support is far from what is necessary to secure another term. All of this is predicated on the same turnout model that elected Kirkpatrick in 2012. If Republican turnout increases as a share of the electorate, as it has in previous midterm elections, then the above numbers grow considerably worse for Kirkpatrick.
Demographic Breakdown:
PARTY % AGE TOTAL
Republican 36% Under 40 23%
Democrat 39% 41 – 55 21%
Independent/Other 23% 56 – 65 29%
IDEOLOGY % Over 65 26%
Liberal 23% GENDER %
Moderate 27% Male 47%
Conservative 45% Female 53%
RACE % AREA %
White 65% Apache County 10%
Hispanic 21% Phoenix Media Market 71%
Native American 5% Pima County 19%
Other 3% STATE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT %
OBAMA JOB RATING % Kwasman (LD 11) 32%
Approve 41% Rest of District 68%
Disapprove 57%
*Totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding
Methodology: This survey of 300 likely 2014 general election voters in Arizona's first congressional district was conducted on December 9th and 10th, 2013. All interviews were conducted via telephone by professional interviewers. Interview selection was random within predetermined election units. These units were structured to correlate with actual voter turnout in a general election. This poll of 300 likely 2014 general election voters has an accuracy of +/- 5.7% at a 95% confidence interval.

Al Melvin, Steve Smith, Adam Kwasman form Conservative Team in Newly Formed LD-11
January 30, 2012 by Press Release 4 Comments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 30, 2012
Conservative Team Emerges for GOP in New LD11
~ Smith's move to the State House paves way for united GOP slate ~
Central Arizona – After careful consideration, conservative State Senator Steve Smith announced that he would be running as a candidate for the State House in 2012, thwarting an attempt by the liberal Arizona Redistricting Commission to force him into a primary with fellow conservative State Senator Al Melvin. Smith and Adam Kwasman, a financial consultant, will be candidates for the two House seats while Al Melvin will run for re-election to the State Senate.
In 2010, Smith shocked the political establishment with his stunning victory over longtime incumbent Rebecca Rios, whose family had held the seat for nearly 30 years. He joined Melvin in the State Senate where they worked together to pass a balanced budget free of the gimmicks and borrowing that had plagued Arizona for years. They also worked to pass a Jobs Bills to encourage job growth by cutting state spending and providing needed tax relief for businesses. Their hard work has been rewarded as Arizona is now projected to have a budget surplus of more than $600 Million in 2012.
Kwasman is well known for his role in helping to elect conservative Republicans, and his campaign has already received the support of prominent Republicans like U.S. Congressman Trent Franks, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne.
In discussing their newly formed campaign team Senator Melvin said "Steve and I have worked together very well in the Senate and I think that everyone appreciates him putting the district and the whole Republican Party first. The Redistricting Commission has tried very hard to pit Republican versus Republican and they failed in the new LD11."
Smith said "In light of the fact that Senator Melvin is now the senior Senator in our new district, I feel that it is my responsibility to do whatever it takes to try and keep both of our conservative voices in the Legislature. I am also looking forward to serving with Adam Kwasman. He is an outstanding conservative candidate and he will make an excellent addition to the State Legislature."
Kwasman agreed with Melvin's statement and added "It is a privilege to be on the same team as these two conservative champions. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from the Legislature, the private sector, and the military, and I look forward to working with them to protect the taxpayers, attract more jobs, and keep Arizona's economic recovery on track."
