The Dragon & the Princess: DeepFlight Sub on a 40M
By Diane M. Byrne on 08.03.17
Oftentimes we think of the super-size superyachts as being the ones carrying personal submarines. However, far smaller ones can carry them, too. One in build for delivery next year might just surprise you. The owner of the eighth Princess 40M will have a DeepFlight Dragon among his toys.
The owner was intent on everyone onboard having as much fun underwater as they will above it. Therefore, Princess Yachts and DeepFlight collaborated on making the sub even more suitable. We say "even more suitable" because the DeepFlight Dragon is already compact. As a matter of fact, the company solicited feedback from megayacht owners and industry reps in designing it a few years ago. The Dragon measures 16'4" x 6'2" x 3'6" (5 x 1.9 x 1.1 meters), purpose to fit in tender garages. In addition, since it's lightweight, yacht crew can launch it the same way they do other watertoys.
The crew of the Princess 40M in build will do that, too. The 131-foot (40-meter) yacht is set for delivery next year. We do not know how many guests will be cruising aboard, unfortunately. However, in general, the semi-custom series is for 10 to 12 passengers. The 40M is the British builder's largest series, too, introduced in 2012.
When delivered to the owner, he and another guest can explore the depths aboard the Dragon together. DeepFlight designed it as an owner-operated sub; no pilot required. It also doesn't take hours to learn how to operate it. Another thing setting the Dragon apart is vertical thrust. This, instead of ballast systems, lets the sub dive to nearly 400 feet (120 meters). Furthermore, the battery system lets the owner and guest will be able to spend up to six hours seeing the sights.
While work continues on the yacht in the UK, U.S.-based DeepFlight has work in progress, too. This winter, it will open its first DeepFlight Adventures location. DeepFlight Adventures is a partnership with select resorts. Guests can take trips aboard one of the company's subs, with a pilot, to see sharks, shipwrecks, and more. We'll have details when they're available.

Fast track /combined Levels 3 &4 via distance learning?
Hi, I completed L2 last month (in 5 months, FE college-1 day a week and found the study pace VERY slow).
Now I would ideally like to continue with AQ2013 L3 & 4 but I'm running out of time!!
I currently work p/t in a finance admin role with approx 25hours per week available for distance learning study if I'm disciplined, so I think I could complete both levels in a year with online support.
Does anyone have experience of fast track distance learning with a reputable provider?
Home Learning College offers a combined L3 &4 course but I've noticed that they have quite a few negative reviews on the forum.
25 hours a week is on average a lot more than most people have so, it sounds like you have every chance of completing it under a year. When you say "fast track" you can go as fast as you like with any distance learning provider, the speed you go at is down to you.
It is normal to sign up for one level, study that, then move onto the next level, most people don't study two levels at the same time. Level 4 should naturally flow on from level 3.
With distance learning you can start anytime so I would have a look to see what providers offer before you make a decision, don't feel you need to sign up ASAP!
Thanks Nick, yes I will be completing L3 before starting L4, sorry if that wasn't clear.
However I do need to sign up for both ASAP because I definitely want to continue with the current AQ2013 syllabus for both levels, which I've been told is only available until the 31st of next month.
Try Premier - worked for me (all 3 levels <12mths) and one of the cheapest.
CeeJaySix thank you! I'll check them out.

Apple Fixed Two Zero-Day Vulnerabilities in iOS 12.1.4
Posted by Rajesh Pandey on Feb 08, 2019 in iOS 12, News
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 12.1.4 which fixed the critical Group FaceTime bug. As it turns out though, Apple has also fixed two critical zero-day vulnerabilities with the update.
As per Google's Project Zero team member Ben Hawkes, these two zero-day vulnerabilities were being used by hackers in the wild to attack iPhone users. Hawkes did not reveal how hackers used the vulnerabilities or what they could do using them. Nonetheless, he confirmed that Apple has also patched these two vulnerabilities with the iOS 12.1.4 update.
CVE-2019-7286 and CVE-2019-7287 in the iOS advisory today (https://t.co/ZsIy8nxLvU) were exploited in the wild as 0day.
— Ben Hawkes (@benhawkes) February 7, 2019
The two zero-day vulnerabilities carry CVE identifiers of CVE-2019-7286 and CVE-2019-7287. The first one affects the iOS Foundation Framework and allows a hacker to gain elevated privileges, while the latter allows them to run arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
Apple credits Ian Beer and Samuel Groß of Project Zero and Clement Lecigne of Google Threat Analysis Group for discovering the vulnerabilities in its security log.
Given the critical nature of the two bugs, it makes sense that no one from Google's Project Zero team or from Apple's side has talked about it much. This does, however, makes the iOS 12.1.4 update even more important in nature. So, if you have not already updated your iPhone or iPad to it, make sure to do so as soon as possible.

In a recent post on reddit, a group of students at UCSD published a series of fascinating charts comparing the actual causes of death in the United States versus what people searched on Google and what was discussed most in mainstream media.
Using data from the CDC (199-2016), Google Trends search volume (2004-2016), The Guardian's article database and The New York Times' article database; authors Owen Shen, Hasan Al-Jamaly, Maximillian Siemers, and Nicole Stone created the charts seen below.
The updated work was inspired by a 1979 study by Paul Slovic and Barbara Combs where they looked at how often different types of deaths were mentioned in the news. They then compared the frequency of news coverage with the actual frequency of people who died for each cause.
All of the data and code used for the analysis has been made available on GitHub. You can also find a detailed write-up on the project here, where they discuss their methodology, statistical sins committed, and lessons learned.
"For all of the above data, we looked at the top 10 largest causes of mortality, as well as terrorism, overdoses, and homicides, three other causes of death which we believe receive a lot of media attention.

Zdeněk Bouček (Hradec Králové, 1924 - Praag, 17 juli 2011) was een entomoloog, vooral bekend van zijn werk in de classificatie der vliesvleugeligen, meer bepaald in de superfamilie der bronswespen (Chalcidoidea).

Persoonlijk leven
Bouček huwde in 1949 met Tatiana Rydlova. Ze hadden één dochter.

Na de invasie van Tsjecho-Slowakije door de Sovjet-Unie emigreerde hij naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Na de Fluwelen Revolutie keerde het echtpaar terug naar wat korte tijd later de Tsjechische republiek zou worden. Ze kochten een huis in Hradec Králové.

Wetenschappelijke carrière
Zijn eerste wetenschappelijke werk verrichtte hij aan de Karelsuniversiteit Praag. Daarna werkte hij voor een landbouwkundig onderzoekscentrum en ten slotte in het natuurhistorisch museum van Praag, waar hij in 1969 promoveerde op een revisie van de Europese Chalcidoidea.

In 1970 werkte hij voor korte tijd aan het Hope-departement van de Universiteit van Oxford, alvorens een voltijdse betrekking te aanvaarden aan het Commonwealth Institute of Entomology, gevestigd in het natuurhistorisch museum van Londen. Daar werkte hij tot aan zijn pensioen in 1989. Hij bleef nog boeken en artikels publiceren tot zijn tachtigste.

Zijn wetenschappelijke belangstelling ging in het bijzonder uit naar bronswespen, vooral naar de families met grotere soorten zoals Leucospidae, Chalcididae, Pteromalidae, Torymidae en Eulophidae. Hij stond bekend als de vader van de moderne systematiek der bronswespen. Op zijn naam staan meer dan 150 publicaties en meer dan 1100 taxa bij de vliesvleugeligen, waaronder 47 namen van families en 281 namen van genera.

Zijn bekendste werk is een verhandeling van meer dan 800 bladzijden over de Australische bronswespen; naar verluidt, heeft het twee volle maanden gekost louter om de taxonomische informatie over te dragen naar de zoölogische gegevensbank.

Onderscheidingen
In 2004 werd Zdeněk erelid van de Royal Entomological Society.

In 2005 kreeg hij de eremedaille voor onderzoek van de International Society of Hymenopterists.

Bankon (Abo, Abaw, Bo, Bon) is a Bantu language spoken in the Moungo department of the Littoral Province of southwestern Cameroon. It has a lexical similarity of 86% with Rombi which is spoken in the nearby Meme department of Southwest Province.

Bankon is the endonym. Abo is an administrative name.

Varieties
With 1,300 speakers, Lombe and Bankon are two dialects of the same language. There is over 83% mutual intelligibility.

The Barombi claim to come from the land of the Abo, and the Abo claim to be descended from the Barombi. According to local ethnic legends, coming from the Congo, Nkon, the son of Lombi, settled in the present Bankon or Abo area, while his father Lombi continued further north to found the present Barombi settlements.

The northern subgroup of the Abo is arrived more recently and is of Duala origin; this explains why the Abo are considered to be brothers of the Duala, or even confused with them, even though their language is closer to the Basaa group. The Abo (like all Barombi) also speak Duala.

Lombe, a dialect of the Barombi people, is spoken in the Southwestern Region in three distinct areas: two are located in the department of Mémé. The first is located north of Mount Cameroon around Lake Barombi-Koto, and the second is located west of Kumba around Lake Barombi Mbo (both of which are in Kumba commune). The third, further west, is located in Ndian department, Ekondo-Titi commune, northeast of Ekondo-Titi city. All three areas are enclosed within the Eastern Oroko-speaking area.

In ethnic/folk genealogy, Lombi is ancestral to Nkon, who is ancestral to Bo, according to the genealogies collected by Dika-Akwa.

Bankon is spoken north of the Wouri estuary in the entire northern part of Dibombari commune (in Mungo department, Littoral Region) between the Mbo language area to the north and west, and the Duala language area to the south and east.

WHO recommends wider use of face masks to curb COVID-19
Written by MD Bureau Published On 2020-06-06T10:00:33+05:30 | Updated On 2020-06-06T10:30:56+05:30

Geneva: The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday updated its guidance on the use of masks for control of COVID-19, advising all people aged 60 years or over, or those with underlying conditions, to wear a medical mask in situations where physical distancing is not possible.
The new guidance advises medical masks for all people working in clinical areas of a health facility in areas with widespread transmission, not only workers dealing with COVID-19 patients, Xinhua reported.
The new guidance also updated the WHO's advice on the use of masks by the general public in areas with community transmission.
"In light of evolving evidence, WHO advises that governments should encourage the general public to wear masks where there is widespread transmission and physical distancing is difficult," Tedros said while introducing the new guidance.
Based on new research, the WHO also advises that fabric masks should consist of at least three layers of different materials.
However, the UN health body warns that masks are not a replacement for physical distancing, hand hygiene and other public health measures, and they are only of benefit as part of a comprehensive approach in the fight against COVID-19.
"The cornerstone of the response in every country must be to find, isolate, test and care for every case, and to trace and quarantine every contact," Tedros stressed.

The way that a system is designed and built can impact your overall cost in a number of ways depending on what features and modules are available out-of-the-box, and what you may need to add on or customize to fill any gaps in the system.
In most instances, the more users you need, the more expensive your ERP system will be during initial implementation and as you continue to use the system. More users, especially those that require customizations or added functionality, can quickly drive up the price for larger businesses. One way to keep the cost of implementation down is to only buy enough users for those who will be using the software right away, better yet, some people may be able to share a user depending on their use of the system and the size of your business. You can always add more users later if necessary.
In some situations, especially in smaller organizations with a talented IT team, ERP implementation can be done in-house; this is especially true of smaller cloud ERP packages. In most cases though, you're going to need some help from an outside ERP consulting team who can ensure everything is installed and tested correctly for maximum ROI. Using an ERP consultant can add on additional costs, but if you pick one with experience with the system you've chosen then it will be worth it in the end.
As mentioned above, the more customization and third party add-ons that you require the most the implementation will cost. You can keep this limited though with careful system selection and focusing on systems that were designed for your specific industry vertical as they will likely have out-of-the-box features you would otherwise have to have customized in a general ERP system.
Moving the data from your current system or systems can add on additional cost to the project. Think carefully about whether you want to migrate that data and incur the cost. It's easy to assume you need the data, but you may not if you think about factors such as the accuracy of the data in your current system, how often it is accessed or needed, whether or not it is needed for reports, etc.
Making the choice between cloud vs on premise ERP is one of the biggest dilemmas faced by companies considering an ERP implementation and there is a lot of talk out there about which is cost effective. Each has its very own pricing structure. Usually cloud ERP systems are sold on a subscription basis and paid for per-user/month and you're basically renting the system and this often includes maintenance and support fees (be sure to check). Premise systems generally carry one large upfront fee, making you the owner, and require annual vendor maintenance and support fees.
In the end, there is no answer as to which is more affordable and it boils down to what works for your company. If you have a large budget with an IT staff that can handle ERP maintenance and a lengthy implementation, you may find more value in an on premise ERP system. If you are a smaller organization who wants the power of ERP without the complexity, you may see more value in cloud ERP.
Once you have a handle on all of this information, the next thing to focus on is ERP selection and implementation and there are a lot of mistakes you can make that can lead to additional costs. The white paper below sheds some light on some of the most common and costly mistakes so you can avoid them.

PCB is ready to host big teams in Pakistan in 2021
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is looking forward to the return of international cricket in its country.
PCB is trying to play series at home with big countries. International cricket has returned to Pakistan after almost a decade.
Now PCB says that next year it is ready to host big teams like New Zealand, South Africa, England and West Indies.
We are working towards building a relationship- Wasim Khan
Wasim Khan, the chief executive of the PCB, told The Associated Press that he was working towards building relationships and improving them.
Khan said, "The 8-10 months ahead to play at home are very important for us. We are also talking with Cricket Australia. They can come to us in the 2022 season and we host them for a long time Want to do. "
Pakistan's next year's home schedule is something like this
In January, South Africa may visit Pakistan for a two-match Test series. These tests will be part of the World Test Championship.
Apart from this, a series of three T20 matches are also to be played on the tour.
In September, New Zealand will visit Pakistan for a series of three ODIs and five T20 matches.
This is followed by a two-match T20 series with England in October.
Sri Lanka team had a terrorist attack in 2009
In 2009, there was a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus which visited Pakistan, after which international cricket was not played in Pakistan.
Six Sri Lankan team players were injured in the attack and six people of Pakistan Police were killed.
In 2015, Zimbabwe toured Pakistan for the limited overs series. Zimbabwe was the first team to visit Pakistan after the terrorist attack.
International cricket is slowly coming back in Pakistan
Test matches were not played in Pakistan for a decade after the 2009 attack and there was a return to Test cricket at the end of last year.
Sri Lanka went there and played a two-match Test series. Bangladesh also played a Test match earlier this year.
Teams from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have also played limited overs series in Pakistan this year.

Monmouth football: Hawks absorb 48-13 loss at Western Michigan
Stephen Edelson
Heading into Saturday night's season-opener against Western Michigan, Monmouth had little margin for error against what, on paper, looked like the best team the Hawks had ever played.
And while the Broncos were as good as advertised, some early mistakes by the Hawks helped seal their fate at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The Broncos busted out to a quick 21-0 lead in the first quarter, building a 31-7 halftime advantage after stopping Monmouth running back Devell Jones on a goal line plunge in the final seconds of the second quarter.
Western Michigan eventually scored on each of its first eight possessions of the game, including five touchdown passes from quarterback Jon Wassink, in rolling to a 48-13 victory.
Monmouth was able to move the ball offensively, rolling up 322 yards of offense. Junior running back Pete Guerriero ran for 107 yards, making him the fastest Monmouth running back ever to top the 2,000-yard mark for his career.
"We started the game exactly the way we knew we couldn't. We had several first quarter penalties and turned the ball over on the first possession on the punt,'' Monmouth head coach Kevin Callahan said. ``When you play an FBS level team you have to control the things you can control. We had a lot of trouble covering those guys on the perimeter and getting them on the ground.

``The positives coming out, I thought our defensive front did a very good job against the run, I thought they battled. The offense, while we didn't get in the endzone as much as we'd like, show a lot of grit and played really hard."
Faced with a fourth-and-2 from its own 32-yard-line on the game's opening drive, Monmouth botched a punt attempt, and five plays later the Broncos found the end zone on a three-yard run by LeVante Bellamy.
When Western Michigan got the ball back, it was Wissink hitting DaShon Bussell for a 60-yard gain down to the Monmouth 21-yard-line, before Wissink found Giovanni Ricci end the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass and a 14-0 lead.
Wissink kept the pressure on after a 3-and-out by the Monmouth offense, finding Bussell for 32 yards before hitting Jaylen Hall on a 33-yard scoring strike.
Guerriero got Monmouth on the scoreboard with a 1-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to trim the deficit to 21-7. But Keith Mixon Jr. returned the ensuing kickoff 52 yards to the Monmouth 47-yard-line, which led to a 45-yard field goal six plays later.
After Wissink made it 31-7 with six-yard TD pass to Ricci, Monmouth drove 80 yards in 17 plays, with Western Michigan stopping Jones on back-to-back runs from the 1-yard-line as the clock expired.
Western Michigan opened the second half with an 80-yard touchdown drive, but Monmouth answered with a 79-yard march of its own, capped by a 15-yard TD pass from Kenji Bahar to Terrance Green.
But once again it was a special teams gaff that turned the momentum back in Western Michigan's favor, as Mixon returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards to the Monmouth 35. They scored five plays later to make it 45-13.
The Hawks were without sophomore running back Juwan Farri, who topped the 1,000-yard mark last season but is awaiting clearance on an academic issue.
It marked the fourth time Monmouth has played against an FBS team, all from the Mid-American Conference, and they have been outscored in those games by a 157-47 margin.
Monmouth returns to action next Saturday when they host Lafayette in the home opener at Kessler Stadium. Western Michigan heads to Michigan State next Saturday.

Q: How can access the headers of an incoming request in tritium? I would like to be able to add some logic to my tritium project based on the incoming request header. Is it possible to access the header information and then perform match() with() logic?
My plan is to take an existing URL (that can be accessed via a normal GET request) and give it a second mode of functionality so that it can be turned into an AJAX API. When the JavaScript makes the API request, I could set a custom header flag so that the platform knows to interpret the request differently.

A: You should be able to access headers in the incoming HTTP request using the global variable syntax. For example, to access the site's hostname:
$host
# => yourwebsite.com

I believe that most of the standard headers are accessible as global variables in Tritium. However, I'm not sure if all headers are accessible as global vars.
Inside your project folder, on your development machine, there should be a tmp folder that contains the HTTP request/response bundles. Each bundle should be time stamped with the request's date and time. I think if you peek inside one of these folders, you should see a bunch of files:

*

*incoming_request

*incoming_response

*outgoing_request

*outgoing_response

And possibly a fifth file. I can't remember if this is still the case in the current version of the platform, but there's a chance you'll find a fifth file containing the global variables that the Tritium server creates to store HTTP request header values. So you can peek inside that file (if it exists) and find out what variable name your HTTP headers are using.
Hope that helps!

A: I'm late on this one, but I figured I would lend a hand to anyone else who needs help on this one.
you need to create two files in your scripts directory, one called
request_main.ts
and
response_main.ts
You can then use things such as the parse_headers function, which iterates through the request/ response headers, depending on the file which you put the code in.
parse_headers() {  # iterate over all the incoming/outgoing headers
  log(name())      # log the name of the current cookie in the iteration
  log(value())     # log the value of the current cookie in the iteration
}

parse_headers(/Set-Cookie/) {  # iterate over the Set-Cookie headers only.
  log(this())
}

This will log all of your header names, to make modifications, you can then use "setter" functions, which you can read about here:

Good luck.

TripAdvisor lists hotels on Google, Kayak, and Trivago, edging closer to meta metasearch
By Sean O'Neil | August 24, 2016
Over the past couple of months, TripAdvisor has been participating in Google's hotel metasearch program. For selected hotels, consumers are seeing TripAdvisor as a place to book.
Clicking on the TripAdvisor "Book" button often takes a consumer a specific instant booking page ("Book on TripAdvisor!"), where the brand collects payment on behalf of the hotel.
In this circumstance, TripAdvisor is, in essence, acting as an online travel agency, or OTA —though the company might dispute that label. So when it wears its OTA hat, so to speak, it makes sense that the brand would test competing with other OTAs on Google for consumer attention.
To appear in the hotel metasearch listings, TripAdvisor pays Google, with the cost varying by type of auction bidding strategy, via the Hotel Price Ads product.
In Tnooz's random sample of searches, TripAdvisor is typically not appearing in top positions in Google's metasearch results, which implies that it has been bidding conservatively.
A TripAdvisor spokesperson told us:
"As we're an online marketplace, we continue to explore new marketing channels to make consumers aware that they can plan and book their trips on our site and to generate traffic to our site."
Meta metasearch?
In a twist, sometimes the TripAdvisor "Book Now" button on Google sends consumers off to a TripAdvisor page that is not for an instant booking on behalf of the hotel. The pages aggregate offers from OTAs and suppliers.
In these cases, TripAdvisor is wearing its metasearch hat. This practice opens up a possible grey area.
How can Google be sure that TripAdvisor won't do arbitrage to get a customer via its platform and then pass along that customer to an OTA it receives a higher payment from than it has to pay Google?
Not that I'm suggesting TripAdvisor would do that.
But if the industry is getting closer to meta metasearch, there are new dynamics to learn.
Google's auction is structured so that if you bid a certain amount, and your bid wins, you only pay roughly a cent more than the second-highest bidder.
TripAdvisor's auction for participation in its metasearch is more static. If you bid, say, $2, and your bid is accepted, you pay $2.
Even when a TripAdvisor listing on Google deep-links to a page where the biggest yellow button is for instant booking ("Book on TripAdvisor!"), that button has scattered around it a few links for other aggregators and suppliers,. That isn't the case with Google's traditional OTA partners.
There is a difference between intention and capability. I see no intention by TripAdvisor to do arbitrage. But it helps to better understand the evolving dynamics of the industry to understand possible capabilities.
So why is Google risking this? Well, it might not mind the risk of arbitrage right now.
Booking volume in its hotel metasearch is still low, relative to TripAdvisor's. (That's true despite Google's metasearch channel having approximately doubled in volume in the past year, according to the Nicholas Ward, CEO of Koddi, a company that helps enterprise-level advertiser master the Google and TripAdvisor metasearch products.)
Google may welcome TripAdvisor's participation in its auctions as a chance to learn about market behavior. More activity means better information.
Let's say TripAdvisor wins a lot of auctions and moves a lot of volume for a particular hotel chain.
Google will see that data. It could, if it wanted, talk to a hotel group and say, "We're generating a lot of bookings for your properties but they're not going through your direct listing in the marketplace." It could help hotels negotiate a harder line with TripAdvisor.
Not that I'm suggesting Google would do that.
Some hoteliers may not be happy to have TripAdvisor betting against them in Google's metasearch — particularly hotel owners advertising on Google for direct bookings and also advertising on TripAdvisor under its instant booking program.
One issue is what impact TripAdvisor's added presence in the Google auction might have. As a rule, the more competitive an auction gets, the higher the cost-per-click for the same amount of traffic will be for all players, including the hotel itself.
What's more, a hotel may wonder if it is seeing its share of bookings move from a lower-cost channel (possibly Google, depending on the auction dynamics) to a more expensive channel (possibly TripAdvisor, depending on its commissions and fees).
Other hoteliers may see things differently, though. They may feel they now have two prongs of attack for gaining bookings at a significantly lower average acquisition cost than through the traditional OTA channels. They may view the increased competition for OTAs as a positive trend.
The Kayak factor
In yet another twist, TripAdvisor has also been testing participation in Kayak's metasearch, too.
In Tnooz's random sampling, TripAdvisor has tended to be placing low in the position order of companies jostling for attention on each Kayak listing -- suggesting that the company is bidding conservatively, merely to test results.
If that's not complicated enough, Kayak itself has been sporadically been buying Hotel Price Ads and appearing in Google metasearch results.
To avoid the risk of meta metasearch, the links have only been to Kayak's own assisted booking option, in which it, in effect, acts as an OTA by directly collecting payment on behalf of a hotel -- at least in every random sampling Tnooz has done.
Over recent months, Kayak's bidding has tended to go in waves, sometimes bidding aggressively and in high volume and sometimes bidding conservatively or hardly at all, says Ward.
Trivago, too
We also spotted TripAdvisor appearing in the listings of Trivago, the Expedia-backed German hotel metasearch platform.
Again, the arbitrage issue comes up.
In one test search for the Boston area, Trivago returned results for The Westin Copley Place. When we clicked on the TripAdvisor listing, it took us to a webpage saying that the booking, if the consumer clicked through, would be handled by Priceline Group-owned OTA Agoda, rather than an instant booking run by itself on behalf of the hotel.
The consumer was invited to click to fill out their payment details while remaining within the TripAdvisor user interface, though Agoda was getting a cut of the sale.
In this case hotel might never know about the Google/Agoda/TripAdvisor booking path.
For any given reservation, there is no audit trail on where a consumer first clicked, says Robert Cole, owner of the RockCheetah hotel marketing strategy and travel technology consultancy.
The hotel only knows who was the last company to touch the transaction and take the payment. A hotel would struggle to discern the ultimate source of the booking.
What should hotels make of all this?
Of all the moves mentioned above, TripAdvisor's experiment with Google's metasearch may be the most telling about industry trends.
Cole said:
"Broadly speaking, hotels should expect to see more of this sort of thing. As rate parity weakens, we'll see more channels be willing to take haircuts to offer more competitive pricing to gain share."
The process is an echo of, or variation on, the hand-offs and repackaging that have taken place for years among travel website affiliates and wholesalers, Cole said.
"But today it's getting even more complicated. There are B2C2B2B2B2B trails forming."

''With the app, it takes just 30 to 40 seconds to place an order,'' said Nauman Sikandar Mirza, CEO EatOye and Foodpanda, while placing an order on the recently amalgamated foodpanda app.
''It knows all my previous orders, my address, my ordering preferences. Instead of calling them [restaurant], telling everything every time this is in 25 seconds,'' he closed the app just as he demonstrated how to place an order on the leading food portal while talking to Profit correspondent.
The convenience is arguably a major factor behind the app's immense popularity – enabling the largest food portal to tot up around Rs2 billion a year.
An alumnus of Lancaster University, UK, Mirza can be considered one of the most successful entrepreneurs of his time. After leaving a job in hotel industry in the UK, Mirza turned to Pakistan to provide a worthwhile restaurant experience to the people. In a matter of just four years, he became a part of the first-ever and the largest acquisition of IT industry between his brainchild EatOye and the Germany based Rocket Internet's foodpanda in 2015.
However, unlike most 'exits' – meaning businesses acquired from those who had launched it, Mirza managed to not only retain the position as the CEO of EatOye but also became the chief of foodpanda, his former competition.
Today, he runs the largest online food portal, the combined business of EatOye and Foodpanda and plans to achieve more in the future.
In tete-a-tete with Profit, the restaurateur entrepreneur Mirza shares his thoughts on his business and what it stands for.
EatOye did not become a success overnight. The former CEO of Akash Hospitality Group – one of the UK's largest chain of Indian restaurants – had his initiation with a venture slightly different than EatOye. In 2011, he had stepped in to cater to the country's $1 billion strong food market, and Food Connection Pakistan was his first introduction to it.
''I saw that Pakistan has a huge market in terms of food,'' Mirza confidently talked about the local food market which is as big as $1 billion (2012) and every month as many as 50 restaurants open up increasing the market size.
While working at Akash, Mirza conceived the much-needed food portal that was missing on Pakistani horizon at the time.
"There were thousands of restaurants and millions of customers, yet there was nothing which connected these two,'' the restaurateur was intrigued by the possibility of becoming a bridge between the two, thus initiating Food Connection Pakistan.
Food Connection Pakistan, aka FC Pakistan, was an online restaurant guide that showcased restaurants' information, reviews, and pictures in order to inform and attract potential customers for the restaurant. Mirza took this initiative with his then partner Rai Umair – a technology specialist who now works for Arpatech, FC Pakistan's investor.
"We're a nation who talks about lunch when we are having breakfast, and we talk about dinner when we are having lunch; we are always talking about food,'' he smiled when talking about the motivation behind FC Pakistan endeavour.
Despite being a successful venture with an annual turnover of Rs10 million in revenue and 150,000 visitors per month, FC Pakistan did not click the way it should have. Mirza thinks it was mainly because of the lack of direct access to the restaurants which led restaurateurs to believe that the partnership with FC Pakistan was unfruitful.
"The restaurants weren't eager to renew the service because people were just looking at the information, and when they were going to the restaurant or ordering delivery, nobody was telling them that I saw your information on Food Connections Pakistan.'' The restaurants who made big dough from the platform were not able to appreciate the background service – that explains their diminishing interest in the partnership.
Another major reason was that customers themselves were not able to directly make an order and thus FC Pakistan could not track the transactions that were taking place through its channel. This was a flaw that Mirza and Umair identified soon after foodpanda came to Pakistan in 2012.
"Foodpanda had entered the market and they were providing one additional service to restaurants; people could review the information and they could also place an order,'' said Mirza, admitting he had missed on the opportunity of becoming pioneer of such a model – a major regrets of his entrepreneurial career.
In order to save the market share of the company – with at least 3,000 restaurants on board – and create a value for their stalling startup, Mirza and Umair understood the need of pivoting the model and headed out to find investment for their improved idea – EatOye.
The company then received a funding of $300,000 from Arpatech for the purpose in order to create Pakistan's first local online food delivery portal. This time it was ensured to cater to the all-round needs of the patrons.
The platform required to directly engage customers, it had to channelize transactions in order to satisfy the partner restaurants and it had to have a name that their target audience could not only understand but also retain – EatOye met both requirements.
In order to help restaurants with marketing – an oft-neglected part – Mirza's EatOye came up with the solution to solve that need but also to provide day-to-day business, with restaurants paying a specified commission if they got business from the platform.
"We have two types of services. The first type, only brings new orders and restaurants do the delivery on their own, paying EatOye 15 to 20 percent commission. The second is where along with bringing the order we provide end-to-end delivery service as well, for 25 to 30 percent of the take,'' said Mirza.
Mirza was able to convince restaurants to come onboard even before EatOye commenced operations.
Another part of the plan was to attract new customers and retain old ones. Mirza thus made it his policy as well as the company's to listen to what the customers had to say.
"Hundreds of customers kept saying that they wanted discount. EatOye soon introduced discounts and ran promotions – still a continuous feature of the combined app.
Within a year, EatOye rose to the success Mirza had dreamt of. It was recognized on various platforms and was awarded with two major entrepreneurial awards.
In August 2014, EatOye bagged gold award (1st position) at the [email protected] ICT awards – one of Pakistan's most prestigious IT awards – in its particular category. In October that year, EatOye – based on its victory at [email protected] ICT – participated in APICTA competition and secured silver medal in Indonesia.
"We tried to build excellence in whatever we're doing. Our mission was that customers should rate us a a local company with international standards,'' said he.
"When we started, the first month we did not even have enough to pay the salaries; there were days when I did not have money to take my children to hospital. And then we reached a point where another company recognized the value [we were] building and acquired [us],'' said Mirza.
"We were fortunate that foodpanda was operating in Pakistan and [they] saw that EatOye has a potential. We had been growing really fast and acquiring would add a lot of value to the overall business in Pakistan,'' said Mirza on the merger that took place after six months of diligent due process in 2015.
After working separately for two years, right now, foodpanda and EatOye have started to operate as a single website under the name of foodpanda.
Today, EatOye and foodpanda – with a daily run rate (average orders per day) of 5,000 orders, 10,000 daily visitors, and 1,000 restaurants on board – hold a major share of Pakistan's $250 million food delivery market. It is now Mirza's challenge to secure in the next five years almost one-fourth of this market – which is itself growing at a rate of 10 to 15 percent every year.
Mirza's goal is still the same: to make his product an amazing experience for the users and provide a better platform to the restaurants that partner with EatOye and foodpanda. Customer satisfaction, however, remains the top-most priority and recently the food delivery portals have dropped 1,000 restaurants from the platform that were not able to meet the quality standard EatOye and foodpanda have promised to their customers.
Regardless the two portals combined now receive a quarter million orders per month.
After acquiring a significant share of the market and aiming for a still bigger slice of it, EatOye and foodpanda are unthreatened by the presence of various new food delivery portals. The reason according to Mirza is the 1000 percent difference in the daily orders these portals receive as compared to the merged online delivery giants.
However, direct telephonic orders are still a hitch Mirza wants to tackle in order to achieve his goal of acquiring 25 percent of the market by 2020.
Taking great pride in calling himself an entrepreneur, Nauman Mirza is always intent on keeping on improving his product until it is the best of the best. That said, he has also involved himself whenever he gets an opportunity to mentor the new generation of entrepreneurs.
"This is a difficult journey. One should always know one's roots and be aware of one's reality, regardless of who one is or where one has come from. If one is dedicated and passionate, one will achieve one's objective,'' with a broad smile he shared the secret behind his success.

Q: Getting "Unterminated [] set." Error in C# I am working with following regex in C#
Regex find = new Regex("[,\"]url(?<Url>[^\\]+)\\u0026");

and getting this error:
"System.ArgumentException: parsing "[,"]url([^\]+)\u0026" - Unterminated [] set.

I'm kind of new to regular expressions so correct me if I'm wrong. The regular expression is supposed to extract urls from text matching like:
,url=http://domain.com\u0026
"url=http://hello.com\u0026

A: You're escaping one of the brackets with \] which means you have an unterminated [.
This cheat sheet is great for .NET regexs, I have it printed out on my desk. Totally recommend it! To match \ you want \\.
Oh yeah, missed the lack of verbatim without the first edit. Go for Tim's suggestion I'd say.
One other online tool which is really handy for quick testing is Derek Slager's online tool.

A: You need to use a verbatim string:
Regex find = new Regex(@"[,""]url(?<Url>[^\\]+)\\u0026");

Edit: However, I'd change the regex to
Regex find = new Regex(@"(?<=[,""]url=)[^\\]+(?=\\u0026)");

Then the entire match is the URL itself. No need for a capturing sub-group.

Under Armour Earnings Above Projections in Third Quarter
Mulberry H1 Revenue Falls in U.K., Rises in China Despite Restrictions
The British accessories brand reported a 1 percent dip in the six months to Oct. 1, as it gears for a healthy holiday season.

LONDON — Mulberry Group saw sales in the U.K., its number-one market, fall 10 percent in the first half, while business in China was up 6 percent despite lockdown restrictions in the region.
Overall, group revenue was broadly flat in the six months to Oct. 1, dipping 1 percent to 64.9 million pounds.
Mulberry notched a pre-tax loss of 3.8 million pounds compared with a pre-tax profit of 10.2 million pounds last year.
The results sent the share price down nearly 16 percent to 2.40 pounds in late-morning trading on Wednesday. The shares recovered some ground later in the day, closing down 9.8 percent at 2.57 pounds.
The British accessories brand, which has been focusing on sustainability and aiming to become net zero by 2035, said U.K. retail sales fell to 34.1 million pounds, impacted by the broader economic environment.
By contrast, retail sales in China increased despite the country's ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
The China increase contributed to an overall 1 percent uptick in Asia Pacific retail sales to 11.9 million pounds. The company said growth in the region was fueled by new store openings in China, and the launch of digital platforms in South Korea.
Mulberry said international retail sales remained in line with the same period last year at 17.5 million pounds.
The company said the pre-tax loss was due mainly to investments, including new store openings and franchise repurchases.
Mulberry also faced tough comparisons with the corresponding period last year when the company benefited from business tax relief and an extraordinary gain on the disposal of the lease on its Paris store.
Chief executive officer Thierry Andretta said Mulberry delivered a "resilient performance" across the group, supported by strong international demand and "continued investment in the U.K."
In the current quarter, the company said it saw "an improved trend" in retail revenue for the eight weeks to Nov. 26 compared to the same period last year, but flagged "ongoing uncertainty in the economic and geopolitical environment."
It also noted that it generates most of its revenue in the the second half, which includes the holiday trading period.
A look from Mulberry's holiday 2022 campaign.
"Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to execute our strategy and to continue to invest across the group for our future growth, in spite of the challenging economic and geopolitical backdrop," Andretta said.
"We are well placed for the festive trading period, and will continue to drive the business forward to the benefit of all stakeholders," he added.
In a telephone interview, Andretta said the growth in China was due chiefly to a 23 percent rise in digital sales and the opening of a distribution center in Shanghai that has facilitated deliveries during the recent lockdowns.
The company has also been building and opening stores in the U.K. and internationally.
In October, Mulberry opened a new unit at Battersea Power Station and continued to build its direct-to-consumer business with the acquisition of five stores in Australia, and three stores in Sweden previously operated by a franchisee.
Andretta said the first-half numbers reflected the cost of those investments.
Mulberry's business is now around 85 percent direct-to-consumer, with the rest coming from wholesale and franchises.
Digital sales accounted for 25 percent of total group revenue in the six-month period, compared with 29 percent in the corresponding period last year. Andretta said thta U.K. customers have "continued to return to a physical shopping experience" post-pandemic.
Andretta added that while consumers may be returning to the stores in the U.K., local business has been hampered by the government's decision to cancel the tax-free shopping program, which was a big driver behind international tourist spending.
Mulberry does 60 percent of its business in the U.K., and Andretta said the brand's most high-profile and most expenstive store, at 50 New Bond Street in London, was suffering from a downturn in international business.
He said some 45 to 50 percent of the Bond Street business used to come from shoppers taking advantage of the tax-free program, and added that Mulberry and many other businesses "would like the government to reconsider" its position on the program.
"It's impacting us as a tourist destination. Sales in the U.K. are clearly not where we'd like them to be, and that's due partially to the absence of tax free," he said.
Asked about pricing, Andretta said the brand was keeping most prices below the 995 pounds sweet spot, and has raised prices by 4 to 7 percent only at the very top end of the range.
On the back end, Mulberry said it has invested in special projects and IT systems that will underpin its wider business and omnichannel growth in the longer term.
The company added it remains committed to its Made to Last green manifesto, which includes a commitment to source 100 percent of its leather from environmentally accredited tanneries; and its Pre-Loved bags circular platform.
The company also has a Lifetime Service center at its Somerset, England, factory where customers can get their bags and leather goods repaired and rejuvenated. Mulberry said the center restores more than 10,000 bags a year.

Virgin America Expands Inflight Entertainment Options
Virgin America passengers will have free access to Spotify's catalog of more than 30 million songs, and, through March 2, 2016, free access to select NYTimes.com content.
Post author By Tim Winship
Less than a month ago, Virgin America announced a new relationship with Netflix, allowing passengers on Virgin America's ViaSat Wi-Fi-equipped planes to enjoy no-cost streaming access to the entire Netflix library.
It was just the latest move by Virgin America to keep its inflight entertainment offering a step or more ahead of the competition's.
But that was last month. This week, the airline announced yet another addition to its growing catalog of inflight entertainment. Actually, two additions: Spotify and the New York Times.
Virgin America passengers will have free access to Spotify's entire catalog of more than 30 million songs, and, through March 2, 2016, free access to select NYTimes.com content. As with the Netflix content, the Spotify and Times streams are only supported on Virgin America planes equipped with ViaSat Wi-Fi, which boasts download speeds up to 10 time faster than those available on most other current Wi-Fi systems.
These media tie-ups are smart marketing moves on Virgin America's part, not least because they're win-win-win. The airline gets an infusion of fresh content, for little or no cost. The content providers get the opportunity to expose their product to a captive audience, and possibly sell paid subscriptions to new customers. And flyers enjoy more entertainment choices, in some cases for free.
Of course, the most important element in the inflight entertainment equation may not be the content at all, but rather the speed and stability of the airline's Wi-Fi system. With the speedy ViaSat system installed on its newest planes, Virgin America is ahead of the pack in that respect as well.

Hamburg is hosting the game against Fulham tonight at 20:05 GMT and in this game we have a clear favorite as the Germans will try to secure a result that will allow them to travel without stress for the second leg of UEFA Europa League semi final, but without any doubt, Fulham thinks either wise. Fulham has already proved their merits after they managed to progress over Juventus and Wolfsburg.
Hamburg has presented a better performance than Fulham and the fact that the final will be hosted at their stadium is an extra motivation. However, if they want to be successful they need to secure a result of at least 2-0 as Fulham is extremely strong at their ground. Additionally, Fulham is overjoyed being in this stage and the fact that will play without stress having the second leg at home is without any doubt a strong advantage.
Hamburg suffered a surprising defeat against Mainz in their last home game and the team will try to come back on the winning track. Hamburg is battling to secure the fourth spot that leads to next season's Champions League playoff games but with results like that the best they can hope is the Europa League. Fulham is not at better shape either as they have two draws in the row forcing them to fall back in the 11th spot.
Online sports betting rooms offer Hamburg's home win at 1.67, the draw to 3.60 while Fulham's away win at 5.25. The Over / Under 2.5 Goals odds are almost shared as the Over is at 1.80 while the Under at 1.91. An excellent betting tip is to check out the Handicap bets as Hamburg's win after the -1 handicap is offered at 3.00. On the correct scores Hamburg's win at 1-0(6.50) 2-0(7.00) lead the predictions followed by the 1-1(7.50) and then 2-1(8.50). Hamburg has the power to win this game easily so our betting proposition for this game is to bet on Hamburg's win after the -1 handicap.

Past experiments were not easily searchable with standardized formatting, contributing to a 25% duplication of work rate across the lab.
Data reports were usually sent via email. Manual input, search and reporting was time consuming and encroached on valuable research. In addition, it was becoming costly to rely on microfilm scanning as a method of capturing and storing IP.
The company wanted to boost data management efficiency in its molecular biology division and make the results searchable by defining a common way of documenting experiments. With plans to start a new product line, the company took the opportunity to find a solution which could automate its data.
The global biotech company's molecular biology division looked at competing electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) to find the best tool for the job. It needed a solution which would enable its researchers to store data in one secure place quickly, standardize the way experiments were reported and reduce reliance on paper in the lab.
Scientists were asked to trial a number of different solutions. They chose IDBS' E‑WorkBook to transform R&D operations. Ease of use and the ELN's efficient spreadsheet technology tailored specifically to biologists' needs sealed the deal.
E‑WorkBook has a proven track record of reducing study completion and reporting times. Users report improved data quality by reducing transcription errors through direct data capture and the ability to generate reports in seconds rather than weeks.
A six month pilot of the solution, saw the global biotech company create specific templates to streamline and standardize data input. After this initial success, E‑WorkBook was rolled out across the company's molecular biology teams to around 70 users across two sites in France.
The results of this move away from notebooks to the paperless lab have been phenomenal. Manual data input, capture and search time have been cut by up to 75%. This is a significant time saving which boosts efficiency in the lab and enables researchers to concentrate on their valuable discovery work rather than spending hours recording and formatting data.
With all data in one secure place, duplication of work is also significantly reduced, as the knowledge repository enables users to search and find existing data quickly and efficiently. A new focus on recording results in this way protects IP and has also produced a rise in data quality and traceability. Researchers are careful to input accurate results in a standard format, enabling other users to call back previous experiment data with full context around how that experiment was conducted. Experiment metadata such as objectives, materials used and conditions are recorded alongside results, adding additional insight.
The easy-to-use E‑WorkBook speeds up reporting too. Users no longer need to build and email data reports. The information they require can be called out of the system at the click of a button and shared with relevant parties efficiently.
The company has truly transformed R&D data management and realized significant operational efficiencies. Importantly, this streamlined approach to data in turn boosts speed to market, a must in today's competitive marketplace.


What are methods for determining errors in a real system?
The aim of a control system is to force some of the system variables towards a desired state. In order to achieve this, one must be able to measure the actual state of the system and compare this value against the desired state. The difference between the desired and the actual measurement produces an error. This error is then used as an input to a controller whose output signal forces the system towards the desired state.
Errors then are typically obtained by determining the difference between a desired value and the actual or measured value. This idea works also for fault detection in systems where one knows the nominal response of a system to a known signal and an error is produced if the system starts to deviate from this response.
