Top Talkers: Ripa praised Seacrest's professionalism and says she looks forward to seeing him at the Oscars.
Kelly Ripa works hard to stay in bikini-ready shape — and it shows.
The 48-year-old TV host and her husband, 47-year-old actor Mark Consuelos, were spotted enjoying a beach getaway in Mexico. However, Ripa expertly blinded paparazzi with her washboard abs.
The "Live with Kelly and Ryan" host proudly displayed her lean figure in a tiny white bikini while enjoying the sun-kissed shores of Cabo San Lucas.
The mother of three paired her look with a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of oversized sunglasses. Consuelos showed off his own muscular frame in matching white shorts, along with a hat and shades.
Ripa's beach bod display comes just days after she revealed Consuelos is an avid follower of the keto diet, which is known as a low-calorie, high-fat eating plan. Ripa stressed she had zero intentions of joining the lifestyle.
"My husband has gone full keto, which I don't mind telling you is something I could never do," she told Bon Appetit's Healthyish.
"I just don't have that level of discipline," Ripa explained, noting that her husband says she's a "carb-o" thanks to her habit of "always" eating his burger bun as well as his fries whenever he orders the two.
The ketogenic diet has recently seen a growing trend after celebrities like Jenna Jameson and Halle Berry spoke out in support of the lifestyle. It's also been at the center of criticism with fitness trainer Jillian Michaels slamming the diet earlier this month.
Back in 2015, Ripa told People magazine that she works out daily to maintain her lean physique.
At the time, Ripa shared she likes to mix up her workout routine with a combination of activities AKT (dance cardio) four times a week, SoulCycle (indoor cycling) two times a week and running one day a week.
Ripa also swore by a high-alkaline diet, which is a low-acid meal plan. Still, she did make a few adjustments to fit her lifestyle.
And while Ripa has a no-nonsense approach to fitness, that doesn't mean it makes it any easier for her.


The 808th Engineer Aviation Battalion was the first US Army Engineering Unit to arrive in Australia with 658 personnel leaving San Francisco in January 1942 aboard the President Coolidge arriving in Melbourne on February 1. Traveling to South Australia by train they transferred to the narrow gauge railway to Alice Springs where they were off-loaded for the 1022 kilometre road journey north to Larrimah, arriving February 16. The 808th left Larrimah for Darwin on the North Australia Railway (NAR) but was ordered to disembark and remain in Katherine on February 19 as Darwin had been bombed. The road from Alice Springs to Larrimah was so rough the weight of a D8 Bulldozer completely destroyed the only trailer able to carry heavy equipment. Having 'walked' it much of the way to Larrimah attempts to move the 'dozer from Larrimah to Katherine by train failed when the flat-top train wagon collapsed so it was 'walked' from Larrimah to Katherine. Taking the initiative, Captain Andrew Chaffin deployed a Company of the 808th to start on improvements to the road between Larrimah and Katherine whilst another commenced work on upgrading the Katherine Airstrip. Working on the Katherine airstrip personnel of the 808th found themselves in the midst of the raid by nine Japanese 'Betty' bombers on March 22. Sheltering under their heavy equipment they emerged, having escaped injury, to count 85 bomb craters after the raid. One local man was killed and two injured during the raid which was the furthest inland raid conducted during the Japanese offensive on northern Australia. A significant contributor to the war effort in the NT, the 808th constructed an airstrip at Pine Creek and the military airstrips of Strauss, Livingstone, Hughes, Fenton and McDonald assisted by Australian defence and civil units.

It was slightly rainy today, wet & cold.. Some raindrops on my lens.
Happy Chinese New Year to all ! Took a stroll along the river near my aunt's place today and some relatives came over to visit us. I do really miss my parents. 2 more weeks before i can see them again, undeniably, i find myself alittle brave to be here alone.
Get this ring at here now!
I think the fallen flower petals look really pretty here.

The True Meaning of Superhero
If there's something memorable about 2010s pop-culture, it's the prevalence of superhero movies. And yet, something seems off about them. Oh sure, the movies made money — A LOT OF MONEY. They're certainly popular. The problem is saturation. Where do they go from here? After Avengers: End Game, after battling a scourge that wiped out half of all life in the universe, how do you write a more compelling story?
The Marvel movies, like many other superhero movies, are being mass-produced like fast-food burgers. It might be tasty, but is it healthy? So, what's wrong with today's superhero movies? Am I just a curmudgeon? Am I simply too old to enjoy a good movie? Are superhero movies just for kids?
No! My retort is Bumblebee (2018). Michael Bay's previous Transformers movies were disappointing to me. But this movie, I actually liked it. Why? The movie has heart. First, it respects the legacy. Set in 1987, watching this movie was like a trip though a museum. It even had a pink bathroom sink. The battle on Cybertron looked better too. It was a nice combination of flashy fight scenes and a character-driven story.
But here's what's important — a job. The main character, she had to work. She didn't just drive around in a Volkswagen, shooting lasers at giant space robots. Instead, she had to balance work and family life.
That leads to another superhero story — The Greatest American Hero. This classic TV show is currently available on Crackle.com. It's a comedic spoof of superheroes. Also set in the 1980s, this TV show holds up surprisingly well today. What I find particularly interesting is how it constantly referrers to the era as bad. In the early 1980s, it was pretty bad. But after two terms of Reagan, and a good dose of patriotism, I look back at that decade fondly.
But why? Great music, great TV shows, great movies, great video games, the 80s was just a lot of fun. Other shows from guys like Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo followed a formula. It was a struggle of good guys verses bad guys. (That was a staple of 1908s TV shows.) There were worldly problems. That's why the main character of The Greatest American Hero is still a school teacher. Even though that particular part of the show seems to slow down the action, that's the part that keeps the characters grounded in reality.
Look at the greatest superheroes of all time — Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. Those three characters had day jobs. Superman is ridiculously overpowered. It's his Clark Kent persona that balances it out. But look deeper. Look at the symbolism of tearing off the business suit to reveal that big "S" underneath. It's an allegory for moonlighting.
Outside of their boring day jobs, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Peter Parker are saving the world.
That's what's missing from today's movies and TV shows. It's missing inspiration. It lacks the idea that the average person can make a difference, that they can be a hero. That's the American dream. That anyone can better themselves and the world around them. Today's superhero is too jaded, with a voice that sounds like he just ate a bag of gravel. The grumbly anti-hero is not motivating. It doesn't encourage society to strive for greatness.
The daily grind is tough to escape. Yet, the classic superheroes did their day job with professionalism. That's part of being a hero. What you do afterwards, that's what can make you a superhero.
But most importantly, the idea of a secret identity is critical. The people stuck at the day job, they typically don't want to hear about your after-hours adventures. I find that it's best to keep your side-hustle secret. It might make people jealous or nervous. It could give the impression that you're not dedicated to the day job or that you're ready to run off at any minute.
That's being a superhero in real life. It's trying not to burn the candle at both ends, while realizing that there should be more to a day than 8 hours of the rat-race, 8 hours of TV, and 8 hours of sleep. But when I do find myself tired, when I want to relax, watching something inspirational is reinvigorating.

More dynamic Atlantic hurricane season forecast
Posted On: May. 22, 2017 4:28 PM CST
Rob Lenihan
2016's Hurricane Matthew/ SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
The 2017 hurricane season in the North Atlantic basin will be more active than originally expected, with an expected total of 14 named storms, seven of which will reach hurricane strength, with three of those becoming major hurricanes, The Weather Company, an IBM Business said Monday.
The weather forecasting company said in its second seasonal forecast that these figures include Tropical Storm Arlene, which formed in April. This is an increase from the original forecast in April which called for 12 named storms, six of which would reach hurricane strength, with two major hurricanes.
The company said that the current forecast is higher than the long-term norm of 12 named storms, seven of hurricane strength, and three major hurricanes, but down slightly from the recent "active period" of 1995-2016 with norms of 15 named storms, eight of hurricane strength, with three major hurricanes.
"There has been a clear trend over the past month toward warmer North Atlantic ocean temperatures," Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist at The Weather Company, said in a statement, "and a less bullish view on El Niño development/magnitude, both of which favor a more active 2017 Atlantic tropical season than originally thought."
Mr. Crawford added that "the big North Atlantic blocking in May has favored continued increases in Atlantic water temperatures, which suggests that we may need to move our numbers up a bit more in our June update."

Q: While derivating equations of motion, why do we replace $v$ as $u + at$? I was learning about the calculus derivations of equations of motion. After the derivation of $v=u + at$, where $v =$ final velocity and $u =$ initial velocity, came the 2nd Equation of motion.
In my book it is written as

By definition of velocity,

$v = dx/dt$

$\Rightarrow  dx = vdt$

In the above equation, $v$ is not independent of $t$. So we replace the value of $v$ by $v = u + at$.

What does the last line mean? I haven't learned integration in depth, just what is taught us in school. Can we not integrate dependent variables or something?

A: So they are postulating a form for $v(t)$, and this form is a constant one-dimensional acceleration. There are many other forms that acceleration may take but this is the "easiest".
If you do not postulate a form, then you cannot simplify the expression $\int\mathrm dt~v(t)$. The expression is not wrong, but it's less useful if you do not know something about what $v(t)$ is.
Let me give you an example of what this looks like at a more advanced level.
So for example in free-fall in air you have a negative velocity in the $y$-direction upwards, hence an acceleration proportional to the square of velocity, so not constant. If we assume that the force of gravity and the density of the air are constant, then we are postulating a particular form for the acceleration,
$$
\frac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dt} = -g~\left[1 - \left(\frac{v(t)}{v_\text{term}}\right)^2\right]
$$
where the terminal velocity $v_\text{term}$ is determined by a lot of other parameters, and $g$ is the gravitational acceleration.
This can then be separated and integrated, let $\tau = t~g/v_\text{term}$, $u(\tau) = v(t)/v_\text{term}$, then we get the unit-less form $$
\int\frac{\mathrm du}{1-u^2} = -\tau$$
This can be integrated by the hyperbolic trig functions, assuming v(0)=0 gives $$ v(t) = -v_\text{term}~\tanh\left({g~t\over v_\text{term}}\right)$$
and now we could solve for $y(t)$ with $\mathrm dy/\mathrm dt = v(t), y(0) =y_0,$ to model a skydiver's altitude as
$$ y(t) = y_0 - \frac{v_\text{term}^2}{g}~\ln\left[\cosh\left({g~t\over v_\text{term}}\right)\right].$$
These are all integrals that maybe your second calculus course would teach you to do, they're not that complicated once you have some experience. But, you don't have much experience! So they started with the case of constant acceleration, which will lead to a characteristic $\frac12$ factor that they want to get you used to. Constant acceleration is just $\mathrm dv/\mathrm dt=a,$ integrating we get $v(t)=v_0+at$.
Constant acceleration is usually a really good place to start! For instance in the above expression for very small values of q, $\cosh(q)\approx 1+\frac12 q^2$ and similarly $\ln(1+q)\approx 1 + q$, you can combine these approximations together to find that for very small times $t$, $y(t) = y_0 - \frac12 g t^2,$ which is precisely the constant acceleration equation with $v_0=0$ and $a=-g.$ If you work to quantify what "small" means here, say a deviation of 10% is "small", then this  constant acceleration equation describes about the first 4s of free-fall or about the first 70-80 meters, not bad!

A: The last line simply gives a particular form of the time dependence of velocity, say $v=u+at$, so that readers can use it as an example to practice. You may play with other velocity-time relations, say "$v=at^2 $" to derive interesting (sorry the example I give is not so interesting, but still suitable for beginners in calculus" position-time relation.

Economic Importance of Earthworm
Economic Importance of Earthworm!
Useful Affairs of Earthworms:
The earthworms are better known as the friend of farmers due to the following reasons:
1. The earthworms improve the fertility of soil in different ways and, therefore, they are of utmost importance in agriculture. Actually, the burrowing and soil feeding habits of earthworms make the soil porous which permit both aeration and quick absorption of water. It also permits easy and deep penetration of the plant roots.
They also bring the fresh subsoil to the surface which is still finer and rich in organic matters. Charles Darwin has estimated that an acre of earth is inhabited by nearly 50,000 earthworms (a recent estimate suggests that their number may reach up to 25, 00,000 per acre) which may bring more than 18 tons of deeper subsoil to the surface in one year.
This may in 20 years form a layer of 7.5 cm thick surface on the earth in the form of their castings. The castings of earthworm contain fine soil having mixed with its nitrogenous wastes and faeces of nice manurial value. The faeces of earthworm contain nitrate, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus which constitute an important component of the humus essential for plant growth.
They also reduce the alkalinity and acidity of the soil to provide better conditions for plant growth. After their death and decomposition, they increase the organic constituents of the soil. Thus, the earthworms make the soil fertile to a great extent. Thus, these worms are also known as natural ploughmen or tillers of the soil.
2. These are used as bait and food. As bait they are used in fishing. The earthworms were used as food by so many uncivilized people of the world and they are still used as food by Macrea people. The earthworms are eaten upon by frogs, toads, moles, hedgehogs and birds which are of many uses to mankind.
3. Many people earn their livelihood by catching these worms and supplying to scientific laboratories.
4. Ayurvedic and Unani system of therapy suggests that these worms were used in making medicines for the cure of diseases like bladder stones, jaundice, pyorrhoea, piles, rheumatism, etc. Even today, these are used in making various medicines of vital importance in India as well as other countries.
Harmful Affairs of Earthworms:
They may damage young and tender plants by eating them bit by bit. They also damage the grass lands by making tunnels in the ground when present in huge numbers. They are also said to help soil erosion. Some earthworms act as secondary hosts for the completion of life stages of some parasites which are directly or indirectly harmful to mankind.

Catenian's public speaking competition
In the last week of term before the Christmas holidays, all of our Y13 students participated in their first Oracy Conference Day. Working in forms, they considered the topic of the NHS and debated whether or not it should be privatised.
Each workshop developed a public speaking skill leading to session four when each student delivered a two minute speech to their form group arguing for or against the privatisation of the NHS. In the final session of the day, two students from each form presented in the College Hall in front of the whole year group and a guest panel of judges. The judges were impressed with the high standard of speeches and eventually declared Oliver Ritchie and Matthew Breeze as winners whilst Neve Charles and Libby Harland came a close second. The students were also treated to a live speech from guest speaker Jonathan Quinn who is the CEO of local company Blockwalls.
Following on from the Oracy Conference Day, we entered two students into the Birkenhead Catenians' public speaking competition at Prenton Golf Club on Friday 26th January. Oliver and Neve set to work preparing for the competition and crafting speeches to meet the new six minute time limit. Oliver chose to extend his NHS speech adding personal anecdotes and impressed the judges with his wealth of knowledge and use of rhetorical devices. Neve chose to write a new speech on the topic of feminism as this is close to her heart. Her passion was evident as she stood to deliver her speech in front of the fifty strong audience and challenged their preconceptions of what a feminist is and why equality for all is important.
There were four schools represented on the evening: St John Plessington Catholic College, St Mary's Catholic College, St Anselms' and Upton Hall. Each of the eight contestants had clearly prepared well for this competition and the standard was high. Unfortunately, it was a student from Upton Hall who won on the night, but our students received high praise not only from the judges but also individual praise from members of the audience. Both Oliver and Neve are now preparing for the provincial Catenians' public speaking competition which will take place in St Helens in March.

Few could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism. Yet what A. O. Scott shows in Better Living Through Criticism is that we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life.
With penetrating insight and warm humor, Scott shows that while individual critics - himself included - can make mistakes and find flaws where they shouldn't, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative and urgent activities of modern existence. Using his own film criticism as a starting point - everything from his infamous dismissal of the international blockbuster The Avengers to his intense affection for Pixar's animated Ratatouille - Scott expands outward, easily guiding listeners through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the origins of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, the power of Marina Abramovich and "Ode on a Grecian Urn".
Drawing on the long tradition of criticism from Aristotle to Susan Sontag, Scott shows that real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive.
"The time for criticism is always now," Scott explains, "because the imperative to think clearly, to insist on the necessary balance of reason and passion, never goes away."

Follow the "Chemin du Rancel" for 300 metres then take the path on the left. Two parallel paths join shortly before arriving at Le Rieu where you will discover a large number of barns.
The one "at the bottom" runs alongside the stream while the one "at the top" is at the foot of the old Lescure silver-bearing lead mines.

Symphogen Expands Previous Private Equity Round, Reaching a Total of €141 million (USD 185 million) - Gilde Healthcare
Symphogen Expands Previous Private Equity Round, Reaching a Total of €141 million (USD 185 million)
Copenhagen, Denmark – Symphogen, a private biopharmaceutical company developing recombinant antibody mixtures, announced today that it closed an expansion of its previously announced €100 million financing attaining a total of a €141 million placement of preferred stock to a group of existing investors. Novo A/S and PKA led the expansion with investments of €20 million each, while Danica Pension, participated with its pre-financing ownership share of the additional financing. The proceeds of the financing will be used to advance and expand Symphogen's proprietary oncology product pipeline of antibody mixture products addressing multiple targets in a single drug product.
Göran Ando, Chairman of the Board, noted:
"This additional financing emphasizes the strong support of our syndicate of investors and allows the company to further significantly expand its oncology pipeline of antibody mixtures, allowing us to build a broad pipeline of innovative cancer medicines."
In conjunction with the financing, Dr. Anthony Tolcher, President and Co-Founder of START, joins Symphogen's Board. Dr. Tolcher leads one of the world's largest clinical Phase I and early drug development operations in cancer medicine with 3 locations in San Antonio Texas, Madrid Spain and Shanghai China.
Kirsten Drejer, PhD., Symphogen's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We met an important goal last year when we partnered with Merck-Serono on our most advanced oncology asset. Going forward, we will continue to partner when appropriate as well as identify assets in our pipeline that we can advance to the market ourselves. A pro-forma cash position of more than €100 million and the addition of Dr. Tolcher to our Board allow us to execute on this strategic ambition. Dr. Tolcher not only strengthens our oncology drug development expertise, but brings strong insight into translational oncology drug development as a leading clinician in the field of oncology."
Michael Nelleman Pedersen, Chief Investment Officer of PKA, said:
"Since our initial investment in 2011, Symphogen has delivered to our expectations and this additional investment provides unprecedented financial strength to develop and bring innovative cancer products to the market."
Henrik Gürtler, CEO of Novo A/S, added:
"It is important to understand the significance of the investments of Danica Pension and PKA. This is Danica Pension's first active investment in Symphogen, where they are participating independently rather than as a limited partner in a venture fund. Similarly, PKA, which first invested in Symphogen less than two years ago, has significantly increased its commitment to the company in this round. This is somewhat unusual in today's venture investing arena. Both groups provide an important endorsement of the company's focus, its ability to make strategic decisions and of course, to move programs through the clinic."
About Symphogen A/S
Symphogen is developing next-generation antibody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and is dedicated to bringing truly innovative oncology products to the market. The company has advanced the frontier of antibody discovery by creating well characterized antibody mixtures that address multiple oncology targets in a single drug product. The company has matured its oncology pipeline and has currently brought two product candidates into the clinic. The company's productive technology suite – capable of identifying, selecting and manufacturing optimal antibody mixtures – fuels Symphogen's innovative pipeline. The lead oncology product, Sym004, was out-licensed to Merck KGaA in 2012 following phase 2 clinical data in late stage cancer patients. In total, the company has raised € 249 million in equity capital and employs 90 people, most of whom are based at Symphogen's facilities in Copenhagen.


Sparse and dense are a property of the values of an attribute.
Data is normally stored in sparse form. If no value exists for a given combination of dimension values, no row exists in the fact table. For example, if not every product is sold in every market. In this case, Market and Product are sparse dimensions.
It's why in the reporting tool Obiee for instance, by default, data are considered sparse.
Most multidimensional databases may also contain dense dimensions. A fact table is considered to have dense data if it has (of a high probability to have) one row for every combination of its associated dimension levels.
You may want to view the data in dense form, with rows for all combination of dimension values displayed even when no fact data exist for them.
For example, if a product did not sell during a particular time period, you may still want to see the product for that time period with zero sales value next to it.
In a MOLAP environement, sparse data are not present.
In relational tables, records are only present for data that exists, whereas in a MOLAP cubes, an empty value is used where no data exists. The cube stores the real data values and whereas the empty values are easily addressable and queryable, they are not actually stored in the cube.
For example, you can easily refer to last month's data value in a query even if that month has no data, but the empty value is not stored.
This highlights the very important feature of MOLAP cubes in that they operate as if they are fully populated with both actual data and zero data for all combinations possible of their attribute dimensions values.
This can have a very important benefit because it makes defining calculations easier as it can be assumed that all data points are present in the cube.
If the reporting requirements need to process null value rows, serious consideration should be given to using a MOLAP solution because they can handle this information by default rather than having to write a more complex densification SQL statement to generate the same result.

Deadball
Baseball prodigy Jubeh Yakyu (Tak Sakaguchi) is the most feared and dangerous juvenile delinquent in all of Japan. After accidentally causing the death of his father with a super-powered, deadly fireball pitch, Jubeh swore off baseball and became a criminal and now, at 17, has been sent to the Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory for hardened criminals. Headmistress Ishihara, the granddaughter of a World War II Nazi collaborator, runs the institution with an iron fist and the enthusiastic help of her sadistic assistant, Ilsa. After arriving at the hellhole, Jubeh soon learns from governor Mifune that his long-lost, younger brother Musashi had also done time there after a murder spree, but had since died mysteriously.
Despite having sworn never to play baseball again, Jubeh is presented with an ultimatum by governor Mifune: join the reformatory team, The Gauntlets, in the national tournament for juvenile inmates, or witness the death of his innocent cellmate Four Eyes (Mari Hoshino). With the knowledge that the death of his brother is somehow connected to the team, Jubeh agrees, and Gauntlet training begins. Their first opponents: the sexy but deadly ''psycho butcher girls'' of the St. Black Dahlia High School, a team of literal man-killers. And so the splatterific baseball tournament begins, but Jubeh soon learns that he is not only fighting to win the game, but also to save his own life!
A hilariously offensive, politically incorrect sports splatter comedy, Deadball is director Yudai Yamaguchi's follow-up to his earlier zombie baseball classic Battlefield Baseball, and once again features action star Tak Sakaguchi (Versus, Be a Man! Samurai School). A riotous, over-the-top epic of excess, Deadball is the movie for the psycho sports fan in all of us, and more fun than a prison cavity search!

From healthcare to manufacturing, sport to agriculture, the centres are an important driver for entrepreneurship and the creation of new businesses, as well as positioning Europe at the forefront of innovation.
A prototype personal 'flying car' in the form of an electric jet eventually taking off and landing vertically from our own backyards has been developed by entrepreneurs at the Bavarian incubator. A start-up in Darmstadt, Germany, has developed a location-based digital address system, making it possible to locate and delivery goods to remote locations in Africa where no address system yet exists.
In the health sector, an idea from a German start-up is revolutionising the treatment of bacterial infection in wounds by applying 'cold plasma' stemming from experiments on the International Space Station.
Thanks to a UK start-up, women can now receive the results of their breast cancer screening in just 24 hours, instead of the typical two weeks. In Portugal, a smart drone delivers hot meals to isolated inhabitants, as well as flying parcels over Lisbon's rush-hour traffic.
A crowdsourcing online game invented by a Dutch start-up brought together 1200 players to map the disaster-stricken area in the Philippines after typhoon Haiyan in 2013, showing cut-off roads and broken bridges, and guiding emergency teams to viable routes.
"To support growth across Europe, we make our knowledge and technology available to be used outside of the space sector," said Jan Woerner, ESA Director General. "To this end, we set up Business Incubation Centres to help young entrepreneurs and start-ups create innovative services by the use of satellite services and space technology.
"Our centres have now helped to set up more than 500 new companies in Europe, creating many high-tech jobs and competitive solutions that have boosted regional economies."
Innovations for all sectors
"We started our ESA Business Incubation Centre (BIC) initiative in 2003 as part of our Technology Transfer Programme to facilitate innovative entrepreneurship and to create new European companies by spinning off our investments in space programmes," said Franco Ongaro, ESA Director of Technology, Engineering and Quality.
"Entrepreneurs, start-ups and small companies come with their own great ideas. In the business incubators we then support them with technical advice from ESA and our technical partners, and business advice from our commercial partners to get going and create viable new companies in Europe.
"We also work to find ways to bridge the maturity gap between the creative ideas and realistic business plans for the development of successful companies."
Space technology becomes non-space technology
Start-ups earlier focused on adapting advanced technologies developed for space missions, whereas nowadays two thirds of ESA BIC companies use satellite signals and data, often combining them with the latest technology from other fields like smartphones and drones.
Earth observation applications are also on the rise, as navigation systems become less dominant. Start-ups have developed ideas to help farmers reduce their costs in precision farming, optimise yield and cut down on the use of fertilisers.
Through initiatives with national partners, ESA's Technology Transfer Programme encourages students — both technical as well as business — young entrepreneurs and inventors to turn their ideas into new European businesses.
The European Satellite Navigation Competition focuses on Galileo-related concepts, while the Copernicus Masters spots novel Earth observation proposals.
ActInSpace brings together entrepreneurs and students to find ideas for space in terrestrial business areas and, collaborating with business schools such as the Global Alliance for Management Education, seminars are organised around the commercialisation of space technology.
Fostering game-changing innovations
"At our ESA BICs, we are ready to take risks to help young entrepreneurs with daring ideas and forward-thinking innovations by bringing space down to Earth," said Frank M. Salzgeber, head of ESA Technology Transfer Programme.
"Daring ideas are often the ones that bring big changes and improvements to our society, and with this spirit, we also invest in those often less-traditional ideas.
"We have invested Euro30 million since 2006 and join forces with national partners and funders to boost the spin-off from European space programmes to create new businesses and growth in Europe."
Space 4.0 — the evolution of the space sector into a new era — will have an effect on how to spin off space to other sectors, with ESA continuously supporting the interaction between governments, private sector, society and politics via its local business incubation centres.
"These space solutions and their spin-off are creating new companies with high-tech jobs, strengthening the European economy and our worldwide competitiveness," stressed Jan Woerner. "More than that, these new technologies also help us to protect Earth and develop a sustainable future for the next generation."
About ESA's Technology Transfer Programme
The Technology Transfer Programme Office is strengthening European industry and improving our lives by reusing space technology developments and satellite data in terrestrial applications and sectors. The transfer is reinforced by a Europe-wide network of national technology brokers and a network of ESA Business Incubation Centres.
Started in 2003, the incubation network will grow to 18 centres by the end of 2017, in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, UK, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Czech Republic, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria, and with Estonia and Finland to open later this year. Several more are under preparation.
By mid-2017 the incubators had fostered more than 500 new start-ups creating high-tech jobs throughout Europe, with 140 new start-ups being added each year.
They inspire and support entrepreneurs to turn space-connected business ideas into commercial companies, based on spin-off to terrestrial applications from space technology, satellite services and ESA intellectual properties. Typically hosted for two years, the start-ups are provided with technical expertise, business-development support, seed capital and access to business networks.

Dem Whip's Non-Gender Specific Child Assaults Cops
Well, what do you know? And why isn't the mainstream media reporting this loudly? You can bet if it was Steve Scalise's kid we'd never hear the end of it.
Transgender child of top Democrat arrested for assaulting Boston police…
It appears that the child of Democrat House Minority Whip Katherine M. Clark was arrested for assaulting police as part of an #antifa event in Boston last night.
Jared 'Riley' Dowell allegedly graffiti'd "stop cop city" and assaulted police while resisting arrest. https://t.co/yP0oAPbpJv pic.twitter.com/LC7ZSaSIG0

Upon arrival officers observed an individual defacing the monument with spray paint. The tagging read "NO COP CITY" and "ACAB". The suspect was later identified as Jared Dowell, 23, of Melrose.
During the arrest of Jared Dowell, a group of about 20 protesters began to surround officers while screaming profanities though megaphones on the public street causing traffic to come to a standstill. While interfering with the arrest of Jared Dowell, an officer was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth.
Jared Dowell was placed under arrest and charged with Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon, Destruction or Injury of Personal Property and Damage of Property by Graffiti/Tagging.
Imagine if this were a Proud Boys protest? If a Republican were arrested at such an event we would be hearing about the rise of "white supremacism" until doomsday. But since this was a testosterone-challenged sissy boy Democrat it's all different.
How much do you want to bet the kid gets off with probation?
1 Why, of course. Kid's a donkey, after all. Why do you even ask the question?

2 This is a perfect example of the double standard the media has when it comes to reporting on political events. It's outrageous that the mainstream media would be so quiet about this story if it involved a Republican.

80% of all church plants fail.
I mean it was perfect timing really.
It was the middle of July, and I was attending a national conference for our church denomination. Literally one month prior my husband and I had agreed that come September we would give up our church jobs (where we both were working as ordained pastors), move to a new city, start a new church, become bi-vocational (which is a fancy word for getting second jobs because the new church we are starting would not be paying us) and do something that neither of us had any experience in doing.
Oh yeah…small caveat, I had found out that morning that I was pregnant with our second child. No biggie.
"Oh, thank God," I thought to myself as I scribbled away. The relief was pretty short lived, though, as I realized I was not able to check off many of the boxes: have a proper assessment done, have a sending church, have a team ready to work with you. No, no, no. We didn't have any of that. We literally got a phone call in which we were asked if we had ever considered planting a church: we said no but felt God tell us to say yes and within a week had agreed to turn our lives upside down for a vision that God seemed to be rapidly unfolding before our eyes.
I looked around the room wondering if it is possible that anybody could be feeling what I am feeling. Oh dear God, I'm a crazy person. Can this be remedied? Obviously not, you would know if you have read any of my other blogs.
The session ended, and I made a beeline for the main speaker.
"We know God is calling us and has told us to do this. We just didn't take any of the steps you talked about," I tried again.
The look on his face was one that I would grow accustomed to seeing regularly over the next few months as I tried to explain what my husband and I were doing. And, to be fair, I can understand "the look" from an outside perspective.
We had not taken any of the proper steps, good steps that were set up to enable and empower church planters. We had not been trained, nor were we really equipped to do the job ahead. We didn't meet many of the qualifications other than having a love for God and for people, and we were jumping head first into something that many prepare months and years ahead of time for. Plus, on the flip side, we had a really great life. We had really great jobs at a really great church. We were part of a community we loved. We were parents to a beautiful baby girl with another on the way. We were well on our way to becoming debt free. We were happy, and we were comfortable.
So why were we doing this? What changed? Maybe you have the look on your face right now, too.
Second, after we said yes, God began to give us pictures, literal pictures. We had pictures of a new kind of church and a specific vision for this church. God gave us pictures that illustrated how we had been operating and how He would like us to operate moving forward. We began to have a dream for something we believed was much bigger than ourselves and something that came from God's heart.
Third, on a personal note, God began giving me desires of my heart that I never knew existed…or that I had long forgotten about. Suddenly comfortable seemed like a bad taste in my mouth, and I wanted more. I wanted adventure, I wanted to go big, I wanted to risk it all for the chance that God would show up. When I gave up comfortable, I began living the reality that God had to show up every day or I was done. In some odd way, I found life in this. I felt an excitement for following God that, to be honest, I had not felt in years.
But without explaining all that, and maybe it wouldn't have mattered, I got "the look." The speaker turned to talk to somebody else and I turned to walk out of the room. As I walked away I could feel a smile growing on my face. The class I had just attended confirmed everything I needed to know. That despite the odds, despite the fact that the best church planter of our conference obviously counted me among the crazy I still couldn't say no.
Succeed or fail, church or no church…let the chips fall where they may. I believed deep down God was speaking to me, calling me. I made a decision that day that no matter what happened with our new church, that even if the only thing that happened was that Kris and I were obedient I would not count it as a loss. I would see the success as two people who were willing to give up everything to follow Jesus.
Now, obviously I would like my church to succeed. (I'm not an idiot.) Obviously when I committed to this new church I promised that I would do everything I could to see the new church come to fruition. But our story truly begins with Kris and I hearing God speak, counting the cost and deciding it was worth it.
I love hearing your heart. Though we don't see each other often, nor have we known each other very long, I count you as a sister. I'm grateful for the courageous way you approach life. I'm cheering you and Kris on!!
